#My friend CAN see them and she wishes she doesn't have it cuz it's pretty miserable

[sleepyconfusedpotato]

Okay we know you love Ghost but can you see ghosts? 👀

WELL. I can't see ghosts, but I can feel and hear them, if that makes sense. But I'm not afraid nor scared of them, like they just be doing their stuff it's their business, I just don't bother them LMAO.

Here's a list of ghost stories that I've encountered in my life (LET'S GO SPOOKY STORY TIME) :

(disclaimer I swear I'm not lying on any of this. Me and my fam are quite religious yes, and Indonesia is also known for the ghosts and myths, so buckle up)

I can feel a lot of ghosts in different churches. One time I saw one is at night I saw a white figure on top of the church roof. Everything else was dark, but that figure was shining bright. Super bright. Usually ghosts are pitch black figure/shadow figure, but this one is shining bright. Probably an angel idk.

I know there's a spirit that resides in my house (my house is in front of a cemetery). My dog likes to bark at a tree and that's like the telltale. One of the housekeeper that used to work for my mum (that can see ghost) said that the ghost is a kid and not harmful.

I sleep in the second floor, but the first floor is open to see from me and my sister's room. One night around 2-3 AM, me and my sis got woken up by the sound of a crowd. Yeah. A crowd, like in a party from the first floor. Sounds of people conversing and stuff but fr there's literally no one. My mum said the spirits are gathering and just having a party downstairs lol.

In me and my sis' room (the lights were turned off), I saw a 'grey' woman dressed in a mukena (Muslim women's praying garment. Usually white in color) doing her prayer literally ON our bed. I couldn't see the face, but she had glowing eyes. We still sleep on that exact bed to this day HAH (Girl that's MY bed. Go get a sajjada or smth).

We have hollow metal fences, so if you hit it, it would sound like a baseball bat, if you get what I'm saying. Some nights at 2 AM I would hear someone hitting our metal fence super hard that I can't sleep. Me and my dad are very sensitive to sounds. Any sound at all and we BOTH would wake up. But my dad apparently CANNOT hear this person hitting the fence and didn't wake up. So I assume I might be the only one to hear it. Probably the kid ghost that I mentioned above.

This is quite scary, and I sincerely am afraid of and HATE this trait of mine. Whenever I can't sleep until 3 AM, (I easily fall asleep. I'm very tired during the day, and I always sleep easy. I don't have insomnia), whenever that happens, someone I know/in my family dies. The most recent ones are on January 4th 2022 (My uncle) and on November 22nd 2022 (my grandmother). I fucking hate this trait cuz I fear it could be my parents or siblings. But yea, gotta live with that.

There're many more ghost stories in museums, churches, and stuff. Fortunately in my hostel there's no activity at all so I can relax and shit.

[faggotwalkwithme]

ughh

[your-unfriendlyghost]

I have two things to ask:

1.-Can we be friends?

2.-Do you have any Outsiders headcanons (or any that you haven't submitted yet)?

I mean sure?? Idk who you are since you’re on anon, so not REALLY, but I’m always down to talk!

2. Yeah lol- tons. Too many. Here’s a few (okay like 25 oops) off the top of my head lol, some serious/angsty and some lighthearted/kinda stupid without any real order. (Lotta ‘em are about Steve tbh -there’s so little to him in canon that I have the freedom to hc pretty much whatever I want)

Steve Randle’s nearsighted and has no idea, which is why he’s literally always squinting. (I’ve had that one for like months but only recently mentioned it on here lol.) Steve thinks his vision is completely normal

Dally and Sylvia genuinely cared for each other, but they were both so horrible at having healthy emotions that they just made each other worse. In a bad way, not a fun way.

When Steve gets kicked out, sometimes he hangs with Johnny in the lot. They don’t really talk about anything important like their shared experiences of having lousy parents. Instead they talk about cars, girls, music, school…lighthearted stuff. Sometimes Johnny will find Steve crying, which he never mentions- he’ll just sit down as per usual, which Steve appreciates. Steve almost never finds Johnny crying though. Johnny doesn’t cry much.

Okay tangent- I love how Steve and Johnny are low-key foils. Like Steve always seems tough but then cries when pushed to his limit, while Johnny always seems skittish until he’s under a bunch of pressure- in which case he suddenly is confident. (Not necessarily thriving obviously, but confident yk? Like grinning while saving those kids in the fire.) I know SE Hinton probably didn’t intend that at all, but it’s just such an interesting detail to me. One of these days I’ll put it into words better

Johnny’s jeans-jacket is a hand-me-down from either Steve or Two-Bit. (I can’t decide which lol) (obviously Dally would make sense too, but honestly I think it’d add more depth to flesh out Johnny’s relationships with the other members of the gang)

After the events of the book, Two-Bit starts hanging around the Curtis’s place even more. At first the gang assumes he’s trying to lighten the mood. It’s only after he gets sent to the cooler for a month due to drunk driving that they realize he was actually hanging around so much because he was trying to keep his kid sister from seeing him so drunk…

Two-Bit likes to joke that he keeps failing junior year so that him and his sister can graduate together. Which is a very bad idea since his sister is a year younger than Ponyboy.

Sodapop often feels like he’s only good for looking pretty and not all that useful or interesting otherwise. He likes himself, but when he stops to think about it too much, he starts to wonder if he really has anything going for him at all

My H/C for Steve’s home life is that his Mom is sick w/ like cancer or something. Before she got sick, Steve’s life was pretty alright for an eastsider- he and his dad fought, but they always made up for the most part. They weren’t perfect, but they loved each other. But after she got sick, she wasn’t there to mediate between Steve and his Dad anymore, and the fighting got worse and worse. And then Steve’s dad started drinking more and it was pretty downhill from there. Steve’s Dad still loves him, but sometimes Steve wishes that he didn’t. If he didn’t, then he could hate him. But his dad does love him, so he can’t get himself to.

Steve and Dally taught Johnny to drive when they were all like fourteen-fifteen-ish. Johnny is a very reckless driver. He loves speeding.

Johnny also loves fast roller coasters and stuff.

Dally doesn't ‘cuz he’s low-key scared of heights- he likes riding broncos and rodeos, but put him at the top of a roller coaster and he’s convinced that it’s gonna break and he’s gonna die. He pretends he doesn’t mind. The only people who know he’s scared of them are Johnny, and before she died, Mrs. Curtis.

Steve has a napoleon complex. Johnny, who is shorter than him by a few inches, likes to bully him for it sometimes

Ponyboy and Cherry don’t interact much in the school year after the book, but in the summer after, they start to hang out. Eventually they become pretty close. They fangirl over Paul Newman together

Ponyboy still doesn’t let Cherry read his theme though until years later

Marcia and Two-Bit re-meet a few months after the book. (Two-Bit is really scared that she’s embarrassed to be dating him, and Marcia is really scared that he’s embarrassed to be dating her. Neither of them are embarrassed. They both adore each other.)

Two-Bit likes to watch Marcia barrel racing. One time while he’s there, he runs into Ponyboy watching Cherry barrel race and immediately tells everyone much to Pony’s chagrin

Evie knows a little bit about cars, and she sometimes helps out at the DX during summers. Steve is so whipped for her lol (and Soda too Steve has two hands)

Evie and Sylvia are besties, but Steve and Sylvia hate each other. They act civil in front of Evie, but as soon as her back is turned they’re growling at each other like dogs. (Well Steve is. Sylvia just acts condescending as hell. Sometimes it goes over his head, so Steve knows she’s insulting him but isn’t sure what the insult is/means. Which makes Steve kinda want to kill her.)

Steve and Soda are low-key co-dependent. (Steve more so- Soda has his family at least, while to Steve, Soda and Evie are his whole world pretty much) It’s probably not super healthy, and both of them are vaguely aware of that, but are trying not to think about it too hard rn

Ponyboy’s friend group in high school consists of Curly Shepard, Mark Jennings, Scout Jenkins (from the tv show), and eventually, in her senior year, Cherry Valance. (There’s others too but those are the main ones.)

Pony dates Cathy Carlson for a while too, idk if they’re good for each other or not- I kinda like the idea of them being a sweet couple tbh, but no one else on here seems to care about them so I haven’t really explored the idea much lol

In a Dally lives au, Mark Jennings and Dally end up spending a bit of time together through Pony, and at some point they realize that they’re half-brothers lol. Mark is a deeply obnoxious little brother to have, and he drives Dally nuts on purpose. Weirdly I think Dally’s a relatively good influence on him, as much as someone like Dally can be. And Dally does care for Mark, though not as much as he cares for Johnny- Mark is, in his head, not exactly his responsibility.

Well I have (so many) more, but I think that’s enough for now lol. Point is, even though I haven’t drawn in a minute, I love these characters and their romanticized version of 1960s Tulsa so much and I think about them way too often lol

(dw once i get more into the swing of school I’ll be doin more art!)

[ultimatetattletale]

Hi sorry I died for a while but I've been waiting for my computer to be fixed so I can draw pretty stuff again (yes it's taken like 6 months). Now please consider my thoughts on what animals different danganronpa characters would be

I tried to make sure there weren't any duplicates unless the characters are related and some of these I've put more thought into lol

Yasuhiro is a goat but like the fainting ones because it sounds funny and I can see him freezing up and falling over.

Junko and ikusaba are both chihuahuas because they're super cute but stereotypically people say they're little demons and that fits junko, she seems innocent but is just a big meanie. And I see ikusaba as being like a buff chihuahua who's all awkward but could eat you alive.

Makoto and Komaru are ferrets, ferrets need other ferrets for inrichment and that's basically makoto he wants friends to be happy. Also I think ferrets are very silly, I have 4 named noodle, little man, chonk, and rebel (like Starbuck).

Kyoko is a cat, I felt like a cat could match many different characters but I believe that she fits a cat the most. Cats are cute but pretty solitary also I think it matches with the fact she isn't very scary compared to some characters (ik she's like mysterious type scary and stone cold but I think she's a cutie).

Fukawa is a skunk bc she's stinky.

Byakuya is a cheetah and I thought about this quite a bit, I had a few different ideas on what to pick but honestly I think since he's blonde he's obviously a cheetah!! Duh!!

Asahina is an otter bc swimming and cute.

Sakura... I had so much trouble deciding this one ommmgg 😭 I was thinking about bigger animals and like martial arts and I was thinking about a gorilla and how they like punch their chests. It's the best I could come up with.

Leon is a weasel because I could see a weasel trying baseball and not liking it very much.

Sayaka is a panda because people love pandas and I could see a panda singing pop music.

Chihiro is a bunny because cute and small, also he's like Judy hops cuz he and her wanna prove they're stronge or smth 💪🏻

Mondo is an alligator bc grrrr scary 🐊

Hijumi is a walrus bc his lips kinda look like a walrus and he's chunky like a walrus, I thought of a hamster too but I thought it fit another character better.

Ishimaru I can see being a Labrador dog bc he's a silly little guy. He'd be the dog that barks at flys.

Celeste is a fruit bat bc vampire bat is what she wishes she was so she tries to be scary and goth but she's just a cute fuzz baby.

Nagito is a wolf bc he's literally wolf in sheep's clothing but he's also kinda cute.

Hajime is a panther who doesn't know how to be a panther, he tries to be a house cat.

Teruteru is a mouse bc ratatouille but I wanted him to be a mouse bc they're smaller and I think someone else fits the rat better.

Twogami I was thinking maybe a pig who wears cheetah fur or smth, like he wears the animal skin of what he's imitating.

Pekoyama is a gazelle bc they're coooool.

Mahiru is a red panda cuz they're small and cute and red like her hair

Soda is a rat bc I can imagine him being a sewer rat who smells bad in his silly little jumper.

Sonia is a swan bc they're elegant and pretty like a princess.

Fuyuhiko is a honey badger bc they're not very big but they give 0 fucks abt anything.

Tanaka is a Vulture and everyone's like 'whaaat a vulture taking care of hamsters???? Craaazy he'll eat them' but really he loves his little guys and would never.

Nekomaru is a lion bc team work and big.

Akane is a jaguar bc big and grrrr.

Chiaki is a sugar glider bc tiny and cute.

Saionji is the basilisk bc I can see her Jesus running on water.

Ibuki is a parrot bc caawww and repeating people and singing bird.

Mikan is a possum bc they faint when scared and that's funny haha but also I think they're cute.

Kamukura is a panther but he knows how to be a panther and doesn't wanna be a house cat like Hajime.

Shuichi is a coyote bc he ain't a big wolf but he isn't a tiny dog, he's like in the middle and he's adaptable I'd say.

Kaede is a spider monkey cuz they're like very social but can be aggressive and I think kaede is a more bold but friendly character (ignoring pregame)

Amami is idk!!! I thought about it alot and I stuck with a tortus or a super chill deer.

Maki is like a black mamba cuz they're fast and when I think of an assassin I think of snakes. Also I believe black mambas aren't super aggressive unless bothered and I think this applies to Maki. She isn't aggressive really for no reason she might be sassy sometimes but she isn't gonna throttle you for no reason at all.

Himiko is a dove bc magician.

Kiibo is a chicken bc it made me think of the robot chicken TV channel thing.

Tsumugi is a fox bc cute and pretty but sneaky and will probably give you rabies.

Kirumi is an owl because she seems wise and owls are usually depicted as wise in media.

Ryouma is a poison dart frog bc tiny but will kill you with his tennis balls.

Korekiyo is a giraffe bc tall and lanky.

Tenko is a mongoose and honestly idk why I couldn't think of anything else except maybe that lizard that's like only girls and reproduces asexually so they're all female lizards.

Angie is an African wolf dog bc they work really well when hunting and it would be her little cult of dogs.

Kaito is a border collie bc they're really smart but cute and people always assume they're dumb but they're very smart and everyone says Kaito is dumb but honestly he's gotta be smart to be an astronaut.

Kokichi is a racoon bc he's a trash panda who would also give you rabies.

Miu is a pelican bc she has a big mouth and doesn't shut upppppp!!

Gonta Is an eleghant bc usually elephants are pretty chill and they're suuuuper cute and big.

OK thanks for listening to my Ted talk I might post drawings of chiaki soon bc she's my favorite female danganronpa character and I love her

[chlorinecake]

I just saw what that anon said and I can really really relate I feel like there's no way I can like them cuz I'm black I feel like. Weird for having a crush on Ni-ki cuz I'm black and even though I know there's no chance anyway cause he probably doesn't date fans obviously lol It makes me ashamed especially because people are always saying "what if / he probably doesn't like black girls/people" and it makes me feel like I'm less beautiful because I'm black and even if he did date fans I mean I'm like SOOOO ugly like atrocious but it makes me feel like even if I was a little bit more pretty he wouldn't like me or would dismiss me cause I'm black or like I wouldn't be good enough or he'd be disgusted or disappointed or weirded out because I'm black and a fan /has a crush on him and besides him it makes me feel like enhypen wouldn't talk to me or treat me the same cuz I'm not Asian or white like I couldn't be a fan or wouldn't be as important or pretty or cool or even just they wouldnt want me as a fan or like me or even look my way cause im black its gotten so bad that people dont evn have to say that anymore (they do but they dont have too) for me to think that way. Like I know we all saw that pretty engene video with that girl with the glasses and i couldn't help but make it about race like thinking would they look at me like that or would I be ugly abd weird cause I'm black ? Or if she was black would they still think she's pretty? Or would they even put the camera on her if she was black ? Anyway I'm rambling but being black is something I struggle with even without people saying the group I like or the guy I have a crush on (Niki obviously) wouldn't like me or would hate me for being black . Or they would be uncomfortable or disgusted with me because I'm black so it's just hard to even see myself meeting them or *even to imagine myself in reader fanfics even if the reader's supposed to be black because I've convinced myself that the only way I'd be pretty or attractive or they'd be friends withe or date me in Ni-kis case is if I was white or Asian* (*just talking about from a fanfic standpoint for this one* but yeah) but yeah it sucks and

Okay, I REFUSE to sit here and let you talk down on yourself like that. I don’t care how true you may think it is, YOU ARE NOT UGLY, Mirah ~ You’re beautiful, from head to toe, melanated skin, curly hair and all. Black women are beautiful, it’s disgusting to me how society has brought some of us to a point where we feel insecure, undesirable, or unworthy of affection from others. My words might not do much to encourage you, because finding confidence (esp as a black girl) takes time. But I really urge you to understand that you can’t expect other ppl to accept you when you don’t even accept yourself. Wish I could give you the BIGGEST hug rn, bc this actually hurts to read :(

Another point, I’ve seen plenty videos of Enhypen (along with other kpop groups) connecting with colored fans in the same way they do with their supporters of a fairer complexion, but I won’t share any of those videos here bc I don’t want you to seek “proof” as a way for you to feel better abt yourself.

On the flip side, let’s say that some ppl in the kpop industry DO have a prejudice (which I’m sure some do): your life and happiness isn’t dependent on their validation.

Let’s not even get started on how a lot of Ni-Ki’s favorite artists are black (Riki Jackson ? Bro would’ve never called himself that if he was racist)… but anyway, colored people like any other group of individuals can b really amazing once they get past their insecurities and embrace the way God made them. Jst know that u can always come to be if your struggling with something or just want to vent <3

My unpopular opinion is that I wanted Austin back with Vanessa, the Hollywood industry is cutthroat, you'd be hard pressed to find someone that cares for you genuinely, during the good times and the bad times, whether that be friends, partners, staff that work for you, and I'm sorry to Kaia and I'm not on no hating shit but I just don't think she'd glance at Austin twice if it wad 5yrs ago and you can argue if he did Vanessa wrong or not but I just don't think he'd be able to find a person that likes him for himself and not what his name brings to the table from now on. I hope the best of luck and happiness to Vanessa, she deserves to move on with her life and get the things she wants from this fickle thing we call life, it sucks its not with Austin but yea I just wish them both to find happiness and peace, it's just weird to see things play out and feel like it's all completely wrong and could blow out on their face 👀👀

Chiiiiiiiillllle...... You should have waited to post this in the "Confession Sunday" time slot cuz I can see you getting a lot of backlash for saying this! 😂

But to be honest?? And this is just #RealTalk and me being 100% honest here.... I actually agree w/you.

Vanessa loved that man to death. It was clear as day. She was his ride-or-die chick lol. 😅 They were like best friends. 🥺 You can see it with just about any picture you see of the two of them. They were also with each other through many hard times and milestones in each of their personal lives. Idk if you quite forget that?? I'm not a huge-huge fan of hers (esp after she's been throwing him shade 👀), but I definitely trusted Austin with Vanessa more than with Kaia. Idk how much I trust that Gerber family. 👀

and I'm sorry to Kaia and I'm not on no hating shit but I just don't think she'd glance at Austin twice if it wad 5yrs ago and you can argue if he did Vanessa wrong or not but I just don't think he'd be able to find a person that likes him for himself and not what his name brings to the table from now on.

THIS. ☝🏾

That's pretty clearly obvious lol. Plus, her family has an obsession with Elvis for some reason lol, so perhaps any actor that was playing the late singer would have been appealing to her? 😅

Look....I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I know what happened in their relationship, but Austin and Vanessa started dating when he was 19 and she was 22/23?? So, sometimes, people just grow and eventually want different things in life. It's clear she wanted to settle down and marry, have kids, etc... and maybe he wanted that too (they were talking about engagement before they split up), but maybe he wasn't in a spot in his life where he felt ready for that? Maybe he was suuuuuper stressed w/Elvis preparation? Who knows? 🤷🏾‍♀️

Just because two people break up, it doesn't automatically mean that something awful was the cause of the breakup.

Since they were together for about 9 years, I would hope that they at least have remained SOMEWHAT friends or on a cordial level. Some fans have said that Austin himself has stated that he and Vanessa are still relatively close. So... go figure? 🤷🏾‍♀️

Either way, I agree with you... Something seems off/all wrong about his current relationship imo. W/RE: to Vanessa... It really should have been him... And I'm sure Vanessa thought it would be too. But hey, sometimes, life throws you curveballs! 😅

As long as Vanessa is happy with Cole, then I'm happy for her. 😊 Vanessa deserves to be happy and move on with her life, and I'm sure Austin realizes that too, even if it might feel a bit weird for him. I'm not sure how long she and Cole will last (mainly due to the age gap👀) but hey....I wish her/them the best!

[transfem-tomboy-oni]

I feel like I should jjust give up on all my "good" qualities and stop trying to be a "good person" and fighting sgainst all my bad qualities. I. I start to feel like there's nothing good coming of it for me, and not enough good for anyone else to actually keep bothering with me.

I feel like the positive things I get told the most is that I'm nice, and that I'm beautiful.

But. Apparently I'm not enough of either for people to... stick around.

I don't know. Even now I don't know what to write. Cuz it might might people unhappy. But.

Maybe I'll try to let what I feel out, for just this once;

I do my fucking hardest, successfully too most of the time, to make people happy, to help them, to make them feel comfortable around me. Cuz all my life no ones ever done that for me. In school people gave no two shits about me, unless it was to make fun of me or get their homework done easier. FOR 9 DAMNED YEARS. Then I switched schools. I guess I had friends. Friends that, as soon as they were not forced to be in the same classroom as me either cut contact or essentially bullied me online. Since then I haven't made friends in person. My own mom has been there for me. As in. Provided for food, entertainment and ignoring my existence otherwise. I got hugged by her for the first time I can remember when I tried offing myself and telling her that I thought I wasn't worth anything and she didn't love me. She graced herself to hug me long enough so I stopped crying and then pushed me away and went back to watching TV alone telling me to go cuz SHE NEEDS A MOMENT. My dad is just inept. Nice. Trying his best. I guess. I used to see him once every 2 weeks, and we talked like 2 hours maybe, where he left me completely to myself otherwise. The person I had contact and an actual "friendship" with the longest eventually started using that friendship and manipulating and breaking apart my entire friend group to just fucking use me as his damned sex toy whenever he felt like it. And I didn't realize for what? 8 or more damned years. That friend group is now so splintered and fucked that I don't even know what the fuck to do about it. Do I still want them? Do they still want me? Pretty sure they don't enjoy me around anymore tbh. Newest friends I made are from therapy or from tumblr, and it's like 5 people in total, 1 if which I haven't talked to in 2 months as I assume she doesn't give a shit about me anymore, at least not that I could tell. And I still really really damned like her but I wish I fucking didn't cuz it's fucking tearing me apart. I suppose I got used to her being there for me and when she wasn't when I was at 2 of my absolute lowest points my mind just broke or something idk. 2 of them I met in therapy and one of them is nice but doesn't have time, which is okay but also annoying to be honest, but it's not her fault I suppose, and the other ignores me whenever she can. The newest 2 ppls I met are nice but I feel like they either are scared of me, I guess at this point rightfully so or don't actually care.

I keep saying that I'm not super likeable when you stick around me for too long and everyone always tells me they don't think so but somehow the only people that seem to have sticked around for years either did cuz they had no choice or in one case because they didn't actually like me and just enjoyed my body.

So. My honest feelings, no one actually cares about making me happy. I want to be treated the way I try my hardest to treat everyone else. I. I'm tired of having and making friends. I can't bear it. I can't bear being alone either. I have been for too long. I. I want this to end, not my life, just this this this dambed conflict of everything. I feel such conflicting things. I'm trying my hardest to make things right for everyone. And I feel like I am not getting enough back to even keep me going until 30.

Love is conditional. And I don't think I am capable of meeting these conditions. Besides all my hatred for how I'm being treated. I still only blame one person. Myself. For just not being good enough.

I wasn't wanted in this world. I was conceived on accident. And I feel that in the way my mother treats me.

But I hoped that maybe someone else doesn't.

Maybe I'll be able to hold on long enough until I can find someone that does want me. Maybe.

I hold so much hope. For such a hopeless person. Such a hopeless world. I wish I could give up.

[misteria247]

What really makes you like Atalum? Is there anything that you dislike about them/their story?

Hello Anon! First off I'd like to apologize for taking so long to get to this, I'd been recovering from a surgery I'd gotten not too long ago and my thoughts have unfortunately been a bit scrambled. But-! I'm back and I'm ready to answer!

The thing that makes me really like Ataru and Lum as a couple is this.

It's their entire relationship. Or rather just how well thought out and complex it is.

On the surface it seems like the stereotypical boy flirts with random girls while the girl who actually likes him is in a one sided type of relationship. However beneath it there's actually so much more to their relationship as a whole. From moments where Lum expresses her love and affections to the moments Ataru shows his love with small actions and gestures, each little thing adds up to their relationship. I love how Lum puts her all into expressing her feelings for Ataru, how she's willing to reassure him that what she feels is very real and that she won't abandon Ataru when things get tough or complicated. With Lum she's all about words of love which fits into Ataru's personality perfectly. She's the vocal force in their relationship and isn't afraid to let her darling know what's up. Her loyalty as well as her obvious affections for him helps Ataru feel grounded in their relationship and reassures him that Lum loves him. Lum proves over and over again that she's someone Ataru can trust when it comes to the matters of the heart and their romance and she genuinely loves spending time with Ataru despite his less than savory moments.

With Ataru I love how he lets his guard down around Lum. Ataru as a character, while chipper and easy going, is actually surprisingly distant with people. Because of Ataru and his bad luck, he keeps people at an arm's length. Even with the girls he flirts with he never really truly tries to pursue anything meaningful or real. The one time he'd been serious about a girl was with his childhood friend Shinobu, who much like everyone else can only handle so much of him before she gets like everyone else. Even going so far as to drop him twice for Rei and Mendo (though it's understandable cuz Shinobu is a teenager). So Ataru is pretty much in arms when things get serious. But with Lum he's different. Ataru's brand of expressing love is through actions or gestures. He's the very definition of actions speak louder than words and with Lum it becomes so clear that he loves her dearly even if he doesn't physically say it. I love how Ataru let's Lum see him, how as their relationship goes on he grows comfortable with her and makes it obvious through his gestures and actions towards her that Lum is the one who truly owns his love and affections. Little things and details he does that reassures Lum that he loves her and that he's only got room in his heart for her. His way of affection compliments Lum's way perfectly and I adore that.

This is only just a little bit of what I love about them and their relationship and that's only scratching the surface. If I were to list everything we'd all probably be here for years and no one's got time for all that. It's the little things, the little moments that seem miniscule that makes up their romance and I love it to death. As for your other question.....

I can't really think of anything that I dislike about their relationship. As for their story I do kinda wish that there were more stories/moments that focused on them. That let them get a bit more serious and whatnot. However it's not a big deal considering that Urusei Yatsura is a comedy and Rumiko Takahashi's first work so I don't think about it too much lol.

Anyways I hope this answered your questions Anon!!!

[ladynicte]

Not hostility. 2. He had been stuck in a dungeon for a while partially because Nico lied to him. 3. Where? 4. Leo never knew Nico before and didn't know anything about him. Plus Nico was giving creepy vibes to everyone partially on purpose. 5. Where? 6. That's not what happened. 7. Again, Nico creeps pretty much everyone out partially on purpose. 8. That ESPECAIALLY never happened.

Oh so you do want me to keep going nice✨

Either way putting this whole answer under read more so it doesn't clog up anybody's dash cuz it got really long

Dude I don't know where your idea that he was being purposefully creepy comes from. He's literally denoted to smile at them a bunch of times even though Nico later one describes that emoting at all is difficult for him. If anything I would say that denotes he was trying to be friendly and it just didn't work.

He was for sure trying to stay away from them because Nico has a very hard time with living people plus living people who specifically seem to dislike him and only him.

But trying to keep your distance from a bunch of older kids you don't even know after you went through the most traumatic experience of your life plus the guy you are in love with just went missing together with his girlfriend isn't the same as purposefully going out of your way to creep people out just because

1. How the hell is not hostile to hope a child who was supposed to be under you special care dies a most painful death simply because it isn't convenient for you and your oppressive system that he lives. Maybe it's not personal but it sure as hell it's hostile.

2. Nico was said a dozen times to had been tricked by Hades, which he had no way of knowing he would have been tricked because yet again he's like 12 at this point Hades is his dad and prior to this had never lied to him.

Also love how you don't even bring up my point about Percy trying to hurry Nico up and wishing he could throw stuff at him so he would stop groaning while Nico had just gotten out of the jar. Funny

And yet again the point was to show hostility, it doesn't matter what motive there was for the hostility the only point was to show hostility against Nico, which I would argue pointing a sword at his neck it's pretty hostile.

3. Here

4. So what? That's not the point. First of all Leo did know Nico, not personally but he for sure saw how desperate to save Nico, Hazel his friend and a girl he was supposedly into, was. Also even if Nico was a complete stranger, he was literally a war prisoner, who couldn't even speak for a while, and actively needed his sword to even be able to walk.

I don't know about you but if I see a kid who has been kidnapped actively starved and literally went through hell, even if I don't know him, even if he's "Purposefully creepy" as you put him I'm still not gonna go out of my way to showcase to him how much he creeps me out and how much I don't like him, you know. Cuz basic human decency and all.

5. Yet again, here

6. First the screenshot

Yes Jason wanted to leave Nico in the jar, and you can say it was a strategic move, he was still abandoning Hazel's brother to his own slow demise. And that's still a bad thing to do, hell it breaks Hazel's trust in him to the point she starts thinking, what if I'm no good for the mission and he abandons me next.

He denotes that being a child of Pluto was hard enough as it was which means he does see being the child of one of the Chthonic Gods as a reason to be mistreated, and he's making the effort to not do that.

Which good for him but you know no other demigod gets that treatment it's only specifically the children of the king of the dead.

So yes that's literally just what happened.

7. Love how you don't even try to say that didn't happen because it was like straight up three chapters of that.

But so what? He's being creepy on purpose therefore he deserves to get chunked into water and left to his own luck? Really that's your point here?

First of all Frank is a good few years older than Nico, hell Frank has an almost three years gap with Hazel (Which don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure before the reckon when Nico himself was younger than Hazel it was a full three years) so why is he having beef with his girlfriend's scrawny brother.

And Nico's not even being creepy on purpose. But hell even if you think he was being creepy on purpose to Jason or Leo to keep them away, when was he ever creepy on purpose to Frank.

Frank and him already knew each other previously, and Nico never had any issue with him, it's only said that he likes to tease him sometimes.

And right after Frank is done talking about how pissed at Nico he is, Nico literally tells Hazel he likes her boyfriend.

But Frank was already reluctant about Nico even from back when they were in Camp Jupiter while he wasn't hostile like he got during the Quest, he did denote that Nico wasn't like Hazel, which in turn got Percy to defend Nico.

So yeah, so what. I don't get your point yes everybody is creeped out by Nico. Nico doesn't like creeping people out.

But the whole point of that answer was to say yes everybody is creeped out by him and reacts hostile to him, you just saying yes they are all creeped out by him is honestly just telling me I am right.

It doesn't even matter if he does it on purpose after being on literal Tartarus, but he's not even doing it on purpose mate.

No not even partially, he's aware he does that, doesn't mean he's doing it on purpose.

8. I will say The Camp becomes a better place for Nico post-Solangelo but before that no not really.

Nico actually sorta has some friends in Camp Jupiter, and Hazel says they just look at him as a travelling oddball, on the other hand in Camp Half-Blood, Nico never once felt comfortable or like he belonged, he was always leaving because he always perceived hostility against him.

The only times that Nico's life in Camp is described as anything else than hanging in the shadows and running away is after he reunites his Divine family to go battle against Kronos together, and stop the world from ending.

That's said to us by Percy who is denoted to be a pretty unrealiable narrator especially towards Nico so who knows how trustworthy that information even is

But we know that doesn't last very long from Nico saying so himself, plus the fact that right after that book we come back to Nico having left yet again, and Annabeth the only remaining Camp as we are told the Camp literally falls apart if neither Percy or Annabeth are there to attend it 24/7 during TOA, only briefly mentions Nico as yeah the dark creepy kid who's gone right now.

So yeah I don't think he was super popular there neither, but I think it's pretty telling he felt comfortable in Camp Jupiter after being there for less than a year, and never managed to feel accepted by Camp Half-Blood even after three years

sldjdjsj Thumbelina Dongel

Because for one thing I've named her grandmother Norma and she fits very well as the lady wishing for a child who gets barley from a fairy with a tiny child in it. And more to the point fits as someone who lovingly brings up a little girl with very different needs than herself and never needing to understand where she came from

Also Angel wants to go explore. This idea of yearning for independence to a bit of an extreme because she has to prove that being different doesn't make her weak--it is exactly her. Hun can be the toad but instead of 'marry my son' it's 'join my gang' (they absolutely still call themselves Purple Dragons)

And Casey! Is the sparrow! Not sure yet if literal sparrow or what exactly that looks like but he is her friend who she helps when he's injured and in turn helps her, especially to escape from Hun (which diverges a bit from source material but eh) but also with the various creatures who try to claim her

The turtles also I think should show up early in the story. In this au (is that what this is now? am I making a tmnt Thumbelina au?) their mutation shrunk them instead of making them grow, but still made them humanoid in other ways. Basically fairy-turtles instead of human-turtles, but also neither as usual because mutant turtles. tbd if they have wings or no. They will help Angel out because they're helping Casey out. Unlike most other creatures who meet her they aren't all that curious about what she is and where she came from, because they also have their own weird origin story so they just aren't really surprised. Anyway at the beginning of the story they are pretty preoccupied with their own thing trying to protect their home from their rat father's ancient enemy, the Shredder (he is literally a gardening tool) (belonging to the farmer Krang) (whose actual name is like Smith or something but the turtles heard other humans call him Cranky and changed it to Krang cuz they were little and misheard)

So Casey and the turtles help Angel escape from toad Hun, and then she runs into this group of insects who want her to join their band. They all agree they hate toads (because they're insects). The thing is as she gets to know them she realizes they also hate birds. Probably turtles and humans too.

April I think will be a regular human, sort of gonna merge scientist/reporter, She knows about the singing bugs and the gang toads but no one believes her, and they all keep making obnoxious comments about how if she's gonna make things up, singing toads and a violent gang of insects would make more sense. She's intending to film a concert (the insects will attack her for this) but meets Angel and helps her escape instead.

Oh oh oh! April has a little mouse friend named Irma! :) She lives in a burrow she made under April's playhouse and they sit under the tree in her yard and gossip. Irma takes Angel in while April tries to find her grandma (cuz the lily pad carried her far away, last thing her grandma knew she was running off to join the Purple Dragons, she tried to warn her and now all Angel wants is to apologize. And maybe also a little bit to find her own way first so that when she apologizes she can also say 'but you see I needed to leave first).

It takes April longer than they expect--and actually there's something really weird going on with her that Irma and Angel can't figure out. And they can't figure it out now because they've got to go underground for the winter.

Enter Baxter Stockman, the Mole. He's building his own little underground empire that these girls are in the way of, so he plays the long game (a Baxter Stockman capable of subtlety and discretion? did I?? make Stockman??? more of a threat than Shredder????) He makes nice, plays good neighbor, talks about protecting them. Tries to hire them as his assistants. Irma is flattered and caught up in the excitement of what he describes (I don't know the details of his evil plan yet), but Angel's becoming pretty practiced at recognizing red flags. The more she says no, the more aggressive he becomes, which makes her also more aggressive.

Poor Irma never saw the Mousers coming.

Return of Casey, Splinter, and the turtles, saving Irma from rat-killing robots. Stockman works for Krang? weeeird. This old farmer so hates having pests on his property and yet he is? hiring them? I mean he fights the tmnt all the time so he does know that they're like,, sentient (see he is evil he is a villain still I promise) but the idea that he would ally with what he so disparagingly calls 'fairy creatures--' there is something weird going on here.

So they will escape Stockman retreat into the sewers, trying to follow them back upstream to find Angel's grandma (Donatello's idea). But also they are all wanting to find out what is happening with April? Cuz she's been all distant and sus. idk details tbd. The last thing they knew she was doing was looking for grandma so they're hoping if they head that way they'll get some clues what could've happened.

And they do--they meet a group of fairies who call themselves Utrom, all of whom wear little crystals around their necks that match a recently added charm on April's bracelet which Irma recognizes. April done been charmed. Immediately they are suspicious of these Utrom, but learn two things

1) Krang (whatever his proper name is) is an Utrom defector cursed with a human form)

2) A Krang sympathizer named Ch'rell has recently escaped captivity and they suspect he is where April got her crystal

dun dun DUN (to be continued some time after the school year ends 😅)

[autumn-applepie]

I'm gonna rant for a moment cuz I'm not feeling hip atm I just had a discussion with my friends and I feel like shit. Putting it under the cut

I hate having discussions with my friends about series. It's probably the only way to make me feel uncomfortable in a friend group. /vneg

My irl friends like series I don't personally like (She-Ra, Hazbin Hotel, Steven Universe etc) and we started the discussion because we were laughing about the second season of Velma Show because it's so fucking shitty that is funny. And I know they were joking in a lighthearted way, but I felt genuinely invalidated by their words. Them saying how I don't have taste, how I am too critical about things and I should just "live and let live" and "start enjoying things a little". But like, OBJECTIVELY it's fucking impossible for me to enjoy something that is written SO POORLY. It makes the experience so uncomfortable and just not impactful as they said it is. I LOVE world building, I LOVE character development. And it just makes me so mad how in media that is just... so easily done so poorly like DELIBERATELY so. It's like people are just starting the idea without actually discussing about what that idea will become in the long run. Just thinking about the present and ending up doing everything all in once 50% because of corporations being shitty and stupidly strict, the other 50% because of the creators actually not taking seriously how world and character development is important to a story! But nooo no one cares everything is justified because "X series is so popular and loved by the mass and if you disagree you're an awful stupid shit awful person to be around that doesn't enjoy life and it's just a hater whth no reason"

Maybe I am too critical? Am I really that mean? I feel fucking awful now I'm just. So uncomfortable in my own fucking friend group.

Like, I hate these discussions so much because it literally turns into "You HATE this thing?? For valid reasons that come from actual objective criticism??? YOUR OPINION IS SO BORING HOW COULD YOU HATE THIS THING YOU CAN TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU WANT BUT I DON'T CARE IT'S MADE SO GOOD CAN'T YOU SEE HOW GOOD IT IS???? SEE?? SEE???"

It literally fucking becomes a war no matter what because it's you alone against the mass of fans that love the series internationally

I DON'T MEAN THAT WHOEVER LIKES THESE SERIES IS A SHITTY PERSON AND SHOULD DIE, I'm just saying that all I wish for is to be able to have a normal conversation without being stepped onto for putting out genuine criticism on the table. The fact that I'm GENUINELY SCARED to state my opinion on something is NOT NORMAL! Like seriously! I'm genuinely fucking scared to talk or even be around people talking about these series or topics because talking to fans about their favorite series is impossible!

Yes! You're right! [insert series here] has done some good things! It's pretty visually, has pretty music, maybe it has been the first series to bring some specific themes in TV! But that doesn't change my opinion nor motivations as to why I don't like it! Stop telling me that I cannot hate [insert series here] because your experience has been different or because the majority agrees with you. That's not how it should fucking work.

[mythical-illustrator]

I HAVE COME WITH TISSUES TO ASK FOR THE SISTER-PADAWAN😭

For the suffer asks that I will regert asking after

future me's problem

How do they view the world? Are they an optimist? A pessimist? A realist?

If they could go back in time for 5/10/15 minutes and change something, what would it be?

How do they kill? Do they try to minimize suffering?

I'm asking 3 (though you can eliminate any if you wish) cuz apparently I want to suffer

😭😘💜💜💜

We're gonna Hurt your sister Padawan this time OC Sunday

But Grace: sorry sorry my beloved.

Grace views the word pretty...half and half. She is a realist but she wants to be optimistic. She wants to be positive, she believes in heroes and thinks they exist. She just doesn't see herself as one. She thinks given half the chance people do Good. Choose good. Will help their fellow and stand up for what's right and wrong. It's why she tries to use negotiation tactics first like Obi wan and Shaka-ti. She wants to give people that one minute to think past their panic and dark thoughts and choose good. She chose the halls of healing to be someone's one good thing in some of their worst moments so that there is continuous good in the world no matter where.

Grace however believes for heroes to exist, people like her- who will do anything to protect the ones they love. - have to exist too. She will do Anything for her cherished ones. She has darker thoughts on how to end the war and protect her chosen few. She tries meditating on this often, being a Jedi these are pretty un-jedi like thoughts but the more her people are in danger the more loud those thoughts get.

If she could go back, there are two times she would love to go back and change. Back to her childhood when her brother is getting separated she'd choose to stay away under the torture another few minutes, just enough to see where he went, who took him. Or if she could have held onto him a little longer so both of them could have been found by the Jedi. Anything to give her a clue where her twin has gone rather than waiting for the Force to decide if they will meet again one day. She doesn't want to change becoming a Jedi, she just wants her brother to be safe.

The second time is the battle of Korhm. She'd got back to either set the medical tent else where, have better rotation guard or more scouts, spot the bomb first, anything to save her men. She thinks about it on her worst days, all the What Ifs she could have changed. She eventually met her soulmates, but she thinks about the men she lost daily, she remembers all their names and keeps their one photo In her tunic all the time. If she were mandalorians she'd do a whole name of remembrance for them.

Grace has and will Kill, for the most part Grace will kill someone quickly, and with as little pain as possible. She's a healer first, she wants to ease someones passing, to hold their hand and take their emotions in as they breath their last.

In combat she keeps a calm and steady and and will fight to keep casualties to a minimum- of her negations fail.

But Ventriss - Grace wants to Hurt ventriss, draw the battle out and make the assassin suffer. Grace like most nights Sisters feed off fear when they use their magick, and she Wants Ventriss to Be Afraid.

After the battle of Korhm, Ventriss had to flee from her because Grace would not Stop, there was no Jedi mercy/patience there. She didn't fall but Ventriss was fighting a night sister for a moment, not a Jedi and she was afraid.

Thank you for asking my friend. 💜

Stray kids Hyung line imagine :)

Try Hard

Warning: cringe 😍☝🏻, this is seed of my imagination ive been thinking about writing this long time ago but yeah its cringe so enjoy

Disclaimer: this is in their POV!

Bang Chan : "I pierced my lips so she thinks im cool"

She never noticed me, she never bothered looking my way. I heard she was into bad boys, so I pierced my lip, thinking she would finally see me in a different light. She walked passed me, but she stopped. Then looked at me. "Chan, wow, you got a lip piercing!" She said, lokking at my newly pierced lip. "You like it?" I asked, hoping she would say yes. She nodded and giggled, "I think you look cool. call me sometime?" She wrote her number on my palm, winked and walked off.

Lee know : "I play guitar but she's into drummers"

I didn't know what this girl had that other didn't, but every time I see her, I just want to pick her up and twirl her around in my arms. She was special. She had this rebellious side, but she was also pretty innocent in her own way. I overheard her talking with her friend the other day, saying that she really liked Drummers. Well, that was rather disappointing " Cheer up, mate, " Chan said, patting my back. I sighed, burrying my head in my hands. " Can you just teach me Hyung? I just wanna know how to play them" Chan started laughing " Oh look at little lino trying to impress a girl" I blushed " Hyung! Seriously stop-" "Minho?" I was cut off by an angelic, soft-sounding voice, which I know all too well. I looked up at her, and her face was as red as tomato, " Um, hey, so..I think you guys were amazing at your last concert. And I think you're pretty hot, so...want to go out with me?" I turned to look at Chan, who nodded and mouthed, "get some," before pushing me towrds her.

Changbin : "She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name"

" Cone on Bin, have some confidence" Minho said to me, patting my shoulder. We were currently in Starbucks, watchung her as she innocently sipped her coffee while she texted with her free hand. I've liked her for awhile now, but I dont really habe guts to ask her out. She doesn't even know my name, but she's seen me once or twice around the town. " I dont know," I say, unsure of whether I should or not approach her. Lino Rolled his eyes at me, saying " if you won't, then I will" I found myself walking over to her the next minute, with a snickering Minho behind me. I cleared my throat, stopping in front of her table. She looked up at me with those beautiful eyes, "Hi," she says, with a smile. "So yeah, my name is Changbin-" "So youre Changbin! I've been wondering what you're name was cuz I've been seeing you around alot, and I thought you were cute. So, care to join me for some coffee?"

Hyunjin : "But who knew, she's in the crowd of my show"

The spotlight blinded me, but I still kept on performing. I glanced down at the audience, and there she was. She was stanind in the front row, smiling up at me. She was only just a dream back then, but now I really couldn't believe she came here, to see me perform. I smiled at her, and winked, and she looked down shyly. I couldn't syop staring at her throughout the entire performance, nonr of us could break the eye contact. Finally, our dance ended and Chan thanked Stay. I shot her a smile, which she returned, before heading backstage with the rest of the band, wishing I could finally meet her.

[destinyc1020]

the accounts on here are really turning into what they claim to hate. one of the bigger accounts posted a 5 seconds clip of that pic of timothee and zendaya from the premiere today. and a lot of the other big accounts are pretty much implying harassment. comparing the interaction to real examples of sexual assault. i can’t believe what im seeing. they took the picture nd both moved on to sign more posters in the same second. they are friends. they know their boundaries but also have to move on quickly.

they all want zendaya to hate timothee and be uncomfortable but don’t take in their other interactions even from today. countless videos of them backstage talking and joking together. if zendaya was truly that uncomfortable with him that wouldn’t be happening. they know that which is why they ignore that content. and after almost a month of press and tim and z trying to minimize their interactions the second they do have moments people on here do this and imply real serious allegations? they’re just spreading to their followers one side. and that’s dangerous.

i get they don’t like him. he gives them the ick. he’s not even my fav’ but they’re just as nasty as timdayas they stalk on twitter. i’ve been watching them all slowly get worse each day of this press tour and justify “being childish” together and it’s sad since i liked a lot of them. if they hate him ignore him crop him from pictures just like timdayas. they aren’t talking about the rizz video from zendaya? people here need to do the same and ignore all interactions of timothee and zendaya.

i never believed the allegations but i’m sure during challengers they’ll find something those guys do weird/an ick/ or project onto z and we’ll have the same narrative spin

What in the world Anon?? 🥴

Whew! I must not follow the accounts some of you all follow out there (my following list is actually quite small lol) cuz I've been enjoying this press tour in relative PEACE without any of this crazy nonsense lol 😆

First of all, I feel very UNCOMFORTABLE about ppl implying smthg about sexual assault (even if it's just a "joke") among Z and her male costars. Like what on earth??? 🥴

Like I said yesterday, Timmy is her FRIEND. Y'all need to just get over it and deal with it (not you Anon lol 😂, just the general "you").

Idk why some fans are so uncomfortable with Z getting along with her male costars, but ummm.... you all are literally making it weird when it doesn't have to be at all. 🙄

Second, obviously she gets along just fine with Timmy (and Austin too for that matter), so I don't think she's "uncomfortable" around him or anybody at all! Trust me.....You can tell when ppl don't really care for other ppl like that, and you can tell when they genuinely do! And Z seems to genuinely LIKE her costars. So why are some fans being so weird about it? 🤔

Look, you don't have to like Timmy (or Austin), but to be spreading false LIES and rhetoric out there surrounding her and her male costars is just really vile imo. 😕

What are some of these fans gonna do when she's going to be promoting Challengers next month and her ONLY costars are Mike and Josh on the press tour? 🥴

PLEASE tell me we won't be having to go through this nonsense again. 🙄

I'm with you Anon, I really don't like hypocrisy either.

I really wish some fans would just grow up 😩🤦🏾‍♀️

Learning with Mingle and Friends: Bullies

*Mingle is at home alone, sitting near a window, drawing a tree that's outside.*

Mingle: ...Oh, hi! My friends are somewhere outside playing... I would've gone with them, but I slept a little too late and they left without me! I'm waiting for them to come back..."

*Suddenly, there's a knock on the door.*

Mingle: Oh, that must be them! I wasn't expecting them to come back so soon!

*Mingle gets up and skips on over to the door, opening it and seeing Donk, Dingle and Boyfriend... Though they seem to be upset about something.*

Mingle: Oh, good afternoon, guys!

Donk: ...I wish it was good...

Dingle: Yeah...

Boyfriend: beep boo... *The three of them walk in, sitting down in a semi-circle on the rug, looking very sad...*

Mingle: Aww, guys, what's getting you down? You look like something awful happened...

*Donk looks at Dingle. Dingle looks at Boyfriend. Boyfriend looks at Donk. The three of them take a deep breath and sigh deeply...*

Boyfriend, Dingle and Donk: We got bullied...

Mingle: What? Awwww, guys... Come on, tell me about it, i'm sure we can work out a way to deal with it! *She sits down in front of them, completing the circle...*

Dingle: *Sigh* Alright then... So it happened while I was in the park...

*Dingle thinks back to what happened...*

Dingle (Narrating): I was on the swing wanting to see if I can do a full 360 turn around if I swing high enough, but then I fell off... I landed on my bottom and it hurt bad... But then this one boy showed up... And... Well...

Eric: Hah! What kinda freakshow was that?!

Dingle: Hey! I-

Eric: Yeah yeah yeah, I know you're about to say somethin' like "Ohhh but it's the best I can do, I'm sure i'll do it someday!", wah, wah, wah... Look dude, you're NEVER going to be able to do it, clearly! I mean come on, my grandma's GOLDFISH could swing higher than that! And that's saying something, because my grandma doesn't even HAVE a goldfish! Hah!

Dingle: S-Stop it...!

Eric: Alright, fine, fine... You need a hand getting up? *Eric extends his hand out to help Dingle get up.*

Dingle: Oh, thank y-

Eric: Oh right, you don't HAVE HANDS! *Eric shoves Dingle down onto his back, before running away laughing.*

Dingle: Ow! H-Hey! COME BACK! *Dingle waves his legs around trying to get up, to no avail.*

Dingle (Narrating): ...And that's pretty much how it went... I laid there for like half an hour before Boyfriend came to help me up!

*Mingle looks at Dingle with a sad expression on her face.* Mingle: Oh, Dingle... I'm so sorry you had to go through that... *She moves closer to him and lightly pats his head, before turning to Boyfriend.* What about you? What happened with you?

Boyfriend: b-beep... bop boo skdoo ba...

*Boyfriend, like Dingle, thinks back to what happened... He was simply singing along to some music on his radio, when suddenly, that guy showed up...*

Jack: Pshhh... What do you think you're doing, kid?

Boyfriend: b-beep? bop boo sk-

Jack: I don't mean your microphone, you blockhead! I mean those silly little beeps and bops! What do you think you are, a barcode scanner?

Boyfriend: b-beep bo skd-

Jack: Here, lemme show you how to ACTUALLY lay down a beat! Gimmie that! *He forcefully takes Boyfriend's microphone from him, before beginning to lay down his bars...*

🎶Yah! I just got a brand new polo!🎶

🎶Leave me alone, fam, I like to be solo!🎶

🎶I wouldn't normally activate my god mode🎶

🎶But might as well juse it to take you out, bozo!🎶

🎶Got myself a beat from my fam in the Dojo🎶

🎶Beat's so dope folks gotta call the Popo🎶

🎶When i'm done with you, your butt'll let out smoke🎶

🎶Hustle so hard with my dough, 'cuz i'm so woke!🎶

🎶Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Jack just touched down!🎶 *As Jack says 'down', he slaps Boyfriend across the face...*

🎶I'm about to run up in my zone like a touchdown!🎶 *...And he does it again...*

🎶I'm about to hit a whole six like a touchdown!🎶 *...And again...*

🎶Crowd going crazy in the mix when I touchdown!🎶 *...And again...*

🎶Touchdown! Touchdown!🎶 *...And again and again...*

🎶You just got a bust down!🎶 *...And again...*

🎶Imma keep flowing, and I'm going to the sun down!🎶 *...And again...*

🎶When I pull up the whole party gotta shut down!🎶 *...And again.*

🎶Got some air forces from a lady in a Dutch town.🎶

Jack: ...Was that awesome or what?! THAT'S how you lay down a beat! As for you... I think you'd be better off workin' at the till at some supermarket! *He tosses the now badly hurt and crying Boyfriend his mic...*

Mingle: ...Oh Boyfriend, i'm so sorry... *She pulls him closer and lightly hugs him.* Does it still hurt?

Boyfriend: *Sob* B-Bap...

Mingle: Now, now... Calm down... *She looks over at Donk.* And you...? What happened with you?

Donk: Well... *Donk once again reminisces on what happened.*

Donk (Narrating): I was buying myself a candy bar from the vending machine when all of a sudden this big guy came along and took it away!

Donk: H-Hey! That's mine!

Max: Hah! Not anymore! Not like you need it anyway!

Donk: ...YOU DON'T SEEM TO NEED IT EITHER!

Max: ...You know what? Fine, you can have it back... *He moves the chocolate bar up to Donk's hand to let him grab it.* ...SIKE! *He tears it away again and eats it all in one bite.*

Donk: *Sob* I-I want my chocolate back!

Max: Well, too bad! Survival of the fittest, kiddo, get used to it! *He shoves Donk over onto the ground, before walking away laughing, leaving Donk with his tummy empty, head bruised and feelings hurt.*

Mingle: *Still hugging Boyfriend* ...Oh... Don't worry Donk, I'll get you some food in a second...

Donk: ...I-I never got my chocolate back...

Mingle: Hm... All of you seem to have a similar problem... Don't worry, i'm sure we can work this out! All we need to do is show up in that same spot tommorow and then try to work it out with those guys!

Dingle: Y-You want us to get bullied again? Are you crazy?!

Mingle: Oh no no no no, I just want to talk to those guys and make sure they don't bully you again...

Dingle: ...A-Alright...

*The next day...*

*The Friends arrive at the park again, and this time Mingle made sure not to have overslept. Dingle, Donk and Boyfriend go their separate ways to the same spots they were in yesterday, while Mingle sits down on a bench in the general middle.*

Mingle: ...I'm sure this is all just a big misunderstanding and those guys didn't mean to hurt my friends. Why would they?

*Dingle is on the swing again when suddenly Eric walks up.*

Eric: Yo, dude, it's my turn! You've been swinging for ages! GET OFF!

Dingle: I-I've only been on for a minute!

Eric: Shut up, get off! *He's just about to shove Dingle off, when suddenly Mingle walks up.*

Mingle: Hey! What do you think you're doing to my friend?

Eric: ...Urgh... Great... There's two of you.

Mingle: Look, I know you probably just want to have fun, but doing so at the cost of others is really mean!

Eric: Oh no! Where are they? Where could they have gone? *He looks around, seemingly worried.*

Mingle: ...Oh, are you looking for someone? Who?

Eric: The person who asked for your stupid advice! Now go ahead and get outta here! And take your little idiot friend with you! *Eric forcefully pulls Dingle off the swing before setting him down in front of Mingle.*

Mingle: Fine... But just know, we will be back! And you'll regret it!

Eric: Oh, wah, wah, wah... *He gets on the swing as Dingle and Mingle walk away...*

*Mingle and Dingle walk over to where Donk is, as he's once again confronted by Max.*

Max: Hehey, how nice of you! *He once again takes Donk's chocolate bar much to Donk's dismay.*

Mingle: Hey, wait!

*Max looks over at Mingle in frustration.* Max: Gruhhh! What do you want?

Mingle: Give that back to my friend! I've got something else to eat in case you are hungry! Something much healthier! *She takes out her lunchbox and reaches into it, taking out an orange.* See?

Max: Oh! Why, thank you. *He takes the orange from Mingle before eating both it and Donk's chocolate bar.* I love people who bring me free food! *He walks away, laughing loudly.*

Donk ...It's no use... *He places his hand on his growling tummy.*

Mingle: Don't worry... We still have one more chance! Come on, let's go!

*Mingle takes Dingle and Donk over to Boyfriend, who has gotten into a heated argument with Jack over who gets to have Boyfriend's radio.*

Jack: You don't deserve that thang anyway! Pass it down!

Boyfriend: b-bop!

Mingle: Hey! What's going on here?

Jack: Ngahhh...

Mingle: Hey, you can't just take someone else's thing without their consent!

Donk: Yeah!

Jack: Even if someone isn't using that thing? Come on, if anything, i'm salvaging it!

Boyfriend: b-bop bee ba!

Eric: Ay Jack? What's going on?! *He walks over to the group.*

Max: Hmmph? Eric? Jack? *He walks over to his friends, finishing up eating Donk's chocolate bar.*

Mingle: Wait... You guys are friends?

Eric: Obviously! But why do you care?

Mingle: Oh! Well, I know you three have been mean to me and my friends, but i'm sure we can work this out! *She extends her hand out for a handshake.* My name is Mingle!

*Max, taking the sign the wrong way, grabs Mingle's hand and pulls her down onto the ground.*

Max: I WIN, I WIN! *He tries to take Mingle's lunchbox, only for her to get up and stop him.*

Mingle: H-Hey! Why did you do that?

Max: You wanted me to arm wrestle you, clearly! Shouldn't have messed with the champion!

Mingle: No! I just wanted to shake your hand. Like this... *She lightly grips Max's fin and shakes it.* See?

Max: ...Come on, haven't you eaten breakfast? This is some real weak wrestling...

Mingle: Fine! You three want a competition? We'll give you one! If we win, you guys will... Hmm...

Donk: Buy us candy!

Dingle: Let me have the swing!

Boyfriend: skdoo beep! (Clean up our toys!)

Mingle: Hey, yeah... AND, you'll have to wear diapers while doing all that. For a fullllll month~

Eric: ...And if WE WIN, you give us your lil' radio, let US have the swing, and eat a huge bucket of mud pie!

Jack: With worms in it!

Max: Hm? Oh yeah, right! What they said!

Mingle: You know what? *She sticks her hand out.* DEAL. Come to our house tommorow. I'll write you the address in a sec...

*Mingle and her friends walk over to a picnic table far away from the Bullies as Mingle takes out her crayon and paper.*

Dingle: Mingle, are you sure this will work?

Donk: They'll probably just come over to our house and steal our fridge!

Boyfriend: b-beep...

Mingle: Relax, guys! If these guys come over, we'll have them play it out with us fair and square.

Dingle: What if they cheat?

Mingle: I'll know.

Dingle: How though...?

Mingle: I will. Do not worry. Now come on, let's go home... Tommorow, we'll bring the dinner to the table, and then we're gonna eat it!

*The next day...*

*Mingle is finishing setting up the competition in the backyard of her house.*

Mingle: Oh, hey! I'm putting the finishing touches on the games!

*Dingle walks up to Mingle.*

Dingle: Hey Mingle? What is this going to be?

Mingle: Oh! This here is a triathlon! It's a set of three small games that you three will compete in against those bullies! That way, we'll see who is ACTUALLY better. Remember, those guys may have the mouths, but I doubt they are very smart...

Dingle: Oh, alright then... But what if they really win?

Mingle: We'll see...

*Donk runs up to Mingle, looking very scared.*

Donk: MINGLE! THEY'RE HERE!

Mingle: Relax, we'll be okay... *She gets up and walks out from the backyard to the house, where she opens the door for the three bullies.* Oh, hello th-

Eric: Ready to eat your mud, dork?

Max: Hey, speaking of eating, when's lunch?

Eric: ...You literally just got done eating.

Mingle: It's nice to see you too... Now come on in, the game is in the backyard...

*Eric, Jack and Max follow Mingle to the backyard, where she sits down behind a small table and speaks into a microphone.*

Mingle: Welcome one and welcome all to the annual MINGLING GAMES! *Mingle looks over at the audience, which mostly consists of all her plush toys... And our boom mic guy, Moxy the Dog. Don't judge him, he's trying his best to make ends meet.*

Mingle: For our first game, we have the MATHS GAME! And for our competitors, we have ERIC AND DONK! *An applause sound is heard from the audience, though it's actually just a sound clip from Boyfriend's radio...* Competitors, take your seats!

*Eric and Donk sit down in their respective seats.*

Mingle: Alright! Whenever you think you know the answer to one of these questions, press your buzzer button in front of you! Question one: What is 9 times 9?

*Donk stares up into space thinking about it, while Eric looks down, lightly shimmying his hands around. He then presses the buzzer.*

Mingle: Eric!

Eric: 81, correct?

Mingle: Great, that's one point to you! *She points over to the score board, which now reads 1-0.* Question two! What is 2 times 2 plus 2?

*Donk presses his buzzer.*

Donk: Is it 8?

Mingle: Not quite! Think closer!

*Donk stares off into space again as Eric still fiddles around with his hands under the table, before pressing his buzzer.*

Mingle: Eric?

Eric: Six! Two times two plus two is six! Not eight, you stupid lemonhead!

Mingle: That was... Uncalled for, but correct! Two points to Eric! Question three now, fingers on your buzzers! What is the square root of 81?

*Donk presses his buzzer nigh immediately.*

Mingle: Donk?

Donk: What's a square root?

Mingle: It's the number you multiply by itself to get the number said!

*Eric presses his buzzer after a bit more fiddling under the table.* Eric: ...In other words it's 81, moron.

Mingle: A flawless victory! Eric wins 3 to 0! Great job!

*Donk frowns, walking off to the stands and sitting down next to Moxy.*

Mingle: For challenge number two, we have the egg and spoon race! For our competitors, we have Jack and Dingle!

*Jack and Dingle walk over to the starting line.*

Jack: Ay dude, that's my Cousin Oliver in that egg of yours! If he gets hurt, i'll make sure you feel as bad as him!

*Dingle gets a bit scared... He grabs the spoon with his mouth, while Jack grabs it normally with his wing.*

Mingle: Alright! Ready? Set? Go!

*Dingle slowly steps forward, while Jack runs forward swiftly... Mingle mostly focuses on Dingle, who's not only left behind in the dust, but is left confused due to the odd yellow puddles on the ground...*

*Jack continously runs in a zig-zag like pattern, constantly hiding behind a random obstacle...*

Jack: I did it! I did it! Eat that! Hah! *He flaps his wings in excitement.*

Dingle: Awwww...

Mingle: And Jack wins! Alright, this is looking heavily favorable for the Guests, but the Homeowners can still win, since the final challenge is worth 3 points! For the final challenge, we have the FREESTYLE SING-OFF! For our contestants, we have MAX VS. BOYFRIEND!

*Max and Boyfriend get up on stage. But first, Max goes off-stage, apparently to go to the bathroom...*

Max: Honestly, now that I look at you closer... You'd make for a nice lil' snack...

Boyfriend: b-beep...? *He trembles lightly.*

Mingle: Alright! *She walks over to the stage and sits down on the big set of speakers in the middle.* 3! 2! 1! Go!

*Max begins singing, though each one of his notes causes the stage to shake a bit, kinda like Ruv in Zavodila.*

*Boyfriend still tries to follow along and even make up something original... He does surprisingly way better than Max.*

Max:

Are we gonna have a problem?

You've got a bone to pick?

You've come this far, but i'll sweep you up real quick.

I'd normally tear your arms off,

and everyone here could look!

But i'm feeling nice,

Here's some advice,

LISTEN UP, YA CROOK!

*He starts singing incredibly quickly, causing the stage to shake a lot... Boyfriend, in response, begins to try and make something even longer, but suddenly, he goes quiet.*

Mingle: Hm? What happened?

Eric: Oh! Would you look at that, he's gone quiet because we're just too good for you morons! *He laughs.* Come on now, it's your lunchtime - JACK, BRING THE MUD!

Mingle: Fine, I suppose you guys won... Here's your candy! *She gives Eric, Jack and Max each a small box of small orange round pill-like balls...*

Eric: Hell yeah! *He eats a few.*

Jack: Good luck with those earthworms, weirdos! *He eats a few.*

Max: Ooh, lunch! *He downs the whole package.*

Mingle: Seems like our guests won... Or have they?

*Suddenly, a sharp growl sounds itself from Eric's tummy... Then Jack's... And then Max's.*

Eric: Ow!- W-What the...?

Mingle: What, you thought I wouldn't catch on? *She forces her hand into Eric's pocket, taking out a calculator.* You jerks!

Jack: N-No! You don't understand!

Mingle: Oh, don't worry, I get what you did! You hid behind the obstacles and tried to switch out the eggs you kept breaking!

Max: B-But...!

Mingle: And you? You just chewed through Boyfriend's mic wire before the match...

Eric: WHAT DID YOU GIVE US?!

Mingle: Oh, don't worry, just some lil' laxatives... Your pants might get a bit dirty, but not as dirty as your behavior.

*Eric, Jack and Max immediately run off to use the bathroom, only for Mingle to stop them...*

Mingle: Ahh ahh ahh... You promiiiised~ *Mingle points them to a nearby pack of diapers.*

*The three Bullies look over each other.*

Eric, Jack and Max: NOOOOOOOOOOO! IT'S NOT FAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!

*Two days later, Mingle, Dingle, Donk and Boyfriend are once again home, playing a board game... The bullies are also there - Eric is rubbing Mingle's feet, Jack is cleaning up Dingle and Donk's toys and Max is holding a tray of chocolate chip cookies for Donk, not allowed to eat a single one...*

Mingle: What have we learned today?

Eric: Urgh... I'm not saying it.

Mingle: Oh? You want two extra months of your community service?

Eric: Fine... "Bad guys always finish last"...

Mingle: AND that two hotels on Atlantic Avenue equal 2,300 dollars to me!

*The friends laugh happily while the Bullies simply roll their eyes in frustration, ending the episode.*
