BINGO ROUND UP

a GL & a disabled MC: pluto!! we got one gang!! i'm just so pleased that we're making some headway on GL being regularly scheduled as part of their production rotation as it should be <3 i will say that the plot of this one wouldn't be doing it for me if it weren't GL, and whacks of nicholas sparks a bit more than is usually my taste. BUT things change over production, and i'm more than willing to be surprised!! interesting that they're opting for another disabled lead specifically w/blindness. i'm still scared but hopeful about their engagement w disability generally, and i do think it's cool that they're not portioning out intersections to their own shows to be the ~ focal issues ~ . it bodes well i think, and i'm really buzzing to see namtan and film's dynamic.

big shock pairing to make me rub my hands together like a fly: my golden blood come collect your trophy!! also putting a dent on main role for fluke and speculative element series, this has me absolutely fucking roided with anticipation lmao. it looks bananas, and chancey, and like the people making it are determined to do so with fun and camp, which is my favourite way to see a project made. i love that as well as unbranded, fluke has managed to stay role flexible enough that he can slide into this fantasy damsel space, and i'm gagging to see it all. maybe he'll wear something white and billowing and dashed with blood, gmmtv seems to be in the spirit of granting wishes w this one.

there seemed to be some rivals to lovers edged stuff, but not in the flavours i wanted so i left it uncircled. also disappointed by the lack of girl violence...that friend vs friend/school gang series could have been fun if it'd been girls in ripped fishnets with bats but i digress.

2024 for 23.5 is not the series of numbers i wanted to write, and no final trailer. and also barely any milk!! she was only on stage the once and not for something i'm interested in, so i'm chalking that up to tragedy. but she looked fucking smashing today, so i'll just have to fold up her event portrait in a locket or smth

congrats to the enigma fans [weeps in midnight museum]

i'm frustrated by how much leaning is being done on remakes, even just because being tagged in so many people's bingo i see how many cool, original ideas there are out there, and it just makes me gag in corporate to see this laziness. i wanted to watch whatever the gemfourth offering was bc i liked them so much in moonlight chicken, but i'll probably be giving their kieta hatsukoi a miss. i've never seen ossan's love, and getting a last dance with mix was on my list so i'll probably give it a go but i'm still miffed about it

i got monkeys pawed on the fighting and stunts bc none of it (except the camp acrobatics of my golden blood) seems like my flavour. alas alack

and a campy comedic role for my girl jan in the other drama to hit my spec fic box!! just like UMG, peaceful property on sale (not 100% sure on the title) looks like exactly my bag. i'm indifferent to whether it's actually BL, but thrilled that tay will be there. i can't think of anyone better to play the guy that can see ghosts, given his huge irl superstitious dramatics and easy goosing. this show is going to be so fun, and i think i might have even spotted a similar ghost-makeup style to what they used in something in my room? i'm so looking forward to this one, and it's so rude of them to tease me with it in october of all times, and not give it to me immediately.

overall, hits, misses, dodgy singing. thanks to everyone who played bingo with me, you all have beautiful creative minds and i hope anyone who had a bingNO this time gets a better part 2 <33

The Knife on a stealth mission— || Rescue Nico Operation underway

@nicholas-wolfwood

| 🗡️ 🗡️ 🗡️ | Some time after ensuring Punk was going to be taken care of and given proper medical attention, Knives contemplated the city. He was steadier than before, having let his power settle and rest while he considered his options.

The Wolfwood the puppet had taken was a hostage that none of them could afford to leave in their hands, right? His brother was in no shape to rescue him. His other brother was already in preparations for taking on the puppet and freeing this world’s Vash from the other Knives’s control. Of all the insane stunts he would pull…. But that was for him to worry about, not Knives. He had to move quickly—

Navigating the city was simpler than he’d anticipated. The tower was an easy landmark to navigate to. Getting inside was… not as simple. But, finding a discrete location to stab a hole through had been simple enough. Moving through the facility, it was unsettlingly quiet. There were barely any humans, not surprising, but enlightening. There was little in the way of guard detail. That meant Nai was confident enough in the few he did have in the place, and his own power, to keep people out. His mistake, then.

He stopped and listened often, had killed and hidden one human already, and ignored his usual impulses to just cut a path through the place to find what he wanted. That was something this Nai would do, something hw would have done as well, in the past. But in his current state, he had little chance against this more formidable version of himself. That was a crisis he would stow away in his head to have another time. Caution and stealth would have to do.

Two more dead and hidden. He hoped with chagrin that they would not be missed at their stations anytime soon. He saw much of the facility, both below the tower and sneaking up into the tower. He had to be careful there… The elevator wasn’t exactly discreet, but it was the quickest and least invasive means to reaching the top.

It was there that he felt the pressure of the strange Plants his world possessed. He couldn't hear them like he could hear his sibling at home. But he felt their presence as he drew closer to them. An odd sensation that passed over him like wafts of wind--except not physical at all. If the Wolfwood of this world was kept anywhere, it must be here...somewhere.

Hidden, and waiting, he sensed Nai long before he saw him. He held rigidly still, as if by doing so, his power would go unnoticed in the wash of Nai's own--and the presence of the other Plants all throughout the tower's facilities. The glimpse he saw of him, he had to force down the rising panic and anger--he had the other Wolfwood. Which was advantageous that he found him! But in the clutches of Nai--that could not bode well at all... What if he didn't act now--and Wolfwood was slain--Logic dictated he would no longer be an object to hang over the others' heads but...But to act now.... Knives knew he did not stand a chance against a younger, stronger version of himself... The ideal outcome was saving him, of course, if he could, but going against Nai alone would get them both slaughtered--

He'd wonder later where that idealist thought had come from... it sounded a little bit too like Vash...

Knives did not have to wait long to find Nai was leaving Wolfwood in the facilities at the top of the tower--He'd made out some of their conversation, yet not all. He knew that it was not good for Wolfwood, if his loud protests had been anything. Fury burned inside him, and he clenched down of the power cracking in his hands and chest as blades tried to manifest in the wake of the anger. Not yet, he told himself. Not yet.

The splash of liquid had startled him, but he didn't have time to react before Nai was on his way out. Knives closed his eyes and pushed down on his anger, his power, making it as small as possible. Do not notice me, he thought, like a soft prayer. Another thing he would have no choice but to think about later.

A shuddering wave of pure energy caught Knives off guard--and it felt like Vash--the one they called Vet, the one who had that other presence that had genuinely tried to kill him in July... Something must have happened. He'd recognize that uncontrolled energy burst anywhere...

He had to act fast. If this July was about to have its destruction come upon it, he did not want to see if he could live through it a second time. And he knew, Wolfwood would not.

Nai would be sufficiently distracted with that, and Knives moved silently along to the room he had taken Wolfwood to.

"Ah..!" Knives was looking at a tank--Nai had put Wolfwood into a tank? Had he already drowned? But... it seemed as if... he was still alive...By the time he'd gotten to him, he'd already given into needing to breathe, and he seemed in a sedated state-- Blades had begun to emerge from his left arm, painful and wild in the panic of seeing he might have been too late... By the time he'd gotten to him, he'd already given into needing to breathe, and he seemed in a sedated state-- It was a special substance... Something he had seen used before, William Conrad had used it for attempting to work with the Plants in some exploratory work...

Knives shook his head--no, this was no time to speculate. Breathable or not, Wolfwood would not remain in that tank. Touching the glass-- there was a wash energy that permeated the fluid and the glass of the tank, and by proxy, he felt the echoes of Wolfwood's fear and trauma. An ability he admittedly used to ignore and/or quash because he had no need for sympathy for the feelings of others.

But his emotions infected Knives and ignited his anger. He remembered his own Wolfwood. His Punisher. The one that had... started to be more than a tool to be used. And that made him angrier.

The largest blade he produced heated with blue-white light and drew back, aiming for the tank somewhere above Wolfwood's head, penetrating with a sharp sizzle of energy and the sound of the liquid vaporizing as it came into contact with the flashburn heat. Blue-yellow lightning danced along his arm and blades. He thought another strand or two of hair were turning black, but he didn’t care. Slowly, the heated blade melted the glass, cracks began to spider from the places were the liquid cooled the glass too quickly. The Plant drew back, the liquid began to flood from the slice he made. Slow enough not to be a shock to Wolfwood, but enough that the glass stopped cracking as it cooled. He cut more points into the glass, letting it flow faster. Once it was low enough for Wolfwood to touch the bottom of the tank, he shattered the section in the middle of the slices he made. He was splattered with the liquid but he paid it no mind as he stepped forward to catch Wolfwood from toppling out of the tank. He was pliant and sedated, and something about that continued to fizzle in his smoldering rage.

“Come now,” he muttered, brusquely, checking his eyes and signs of life. “Get that shit out of your lungs—“ Kneeling, he play the human across his leg, encouraging him to cough the liquid out and get air into his lungs.

Meet The Party: Mason

Full Name: Marcus Nicholas Mason Class: Survivalist Age: 34 Pronouns: He / Him Faction: None Biographical Summary: Mason started life with a passion for nature and a love for animals, a passion that was slowly ground down by a society that only valued state-sponsored violence as strength and punished all else as weakness. At least, that's his story. It's within the realm of possibility that his schoolyard classmates teased him for having initials that were a pun on a popular candy and he never got over it. Regardless of the reason, Mason has been alternately living off the land and working in the park services for the last decade, to protect the natural world from being too severely exploited. The latest round of sabre-rattling by various nation states and aspiring global dictators has lead to mass industrialization of the type that bodes ill for natural ecosystems, which is cause enough for Mason to pick fights with so-called civilization; running into the Hero and finding an ally of convenience is a bonus for both of them.

Do you think we could see any Gabrielle in season 2?

On one hand that would mean they would need to cast her way ahead of season 3 where she would be a real main character but they did have armand set up and present in season 1 soooo maaayyybeeee. The writers seem to like her character so that bodes well. With her little mention in season 1, and Nicholas’ set up I can only imagine they’d ramp it up even more, right?

I was thinking it could be anything as small as Louis coming across some old paintings of Gabrielle and/or nicholas done by armand in the tower in Paris. Or what I would absolutely die if this happened, Gabrielle was one of the lone vampires Claudia and Louis come across in Eastern Europe. The tension with what they just did to lestat, trying to figure it out, and she tells them of a coven in Paris to check out if that’s what they are looking for, I’m just desperately trying to figure out a way for Claudia and her to meet haha

Or do you think the writers might seriously exploit the potential of armands mind gift/spell gift where we could see any of the future characters like Gabrielle, Nicholas, Marius or even Magnus if he’s feeling so inclined to really psychologically torment lestat.

I like the idea of there being hints of Gabrielle and Nicolas already in season 2, but I'm not sure they would be more than hints, simply because of the amount of time it would need to properly deal with those characters.

But what I would love is if Louis would for example catch glimpses of Gabrielle or Marius during his travels - and mistakes them for flashes of Lestat in his mind (he notes in the books that he sees Lestat in places, has visions of him). THAT would be neat? :)))

And for Armand...

Well, Armand knows a lot of things.

The things he can tell of on that couch.... :)))

[betterlost]

@peonywell ( the count ) sent ; " i know this looks bad . . let me explain . . "

"Bad? You think this looks bad?" Nicholas' eyebrows shoot up into his hairline. The Count breaking into his garden and cutting his flowers at the stem would look bad. Accidentally flattening his tire because he took his truck for a joyride would look bad. This? This looks maybe a little bit illegal, though Nicholas honestly doesn't know how the law enforcement on Sesame Street operates. The fact that this is literally the first thing he sees when he strolls in today doesn't bode well for the rest of the shift.

"It looks like you stole a pair of scrubs and broke into the staff area of a hospital! What are you doing here? Look, if you're sick you've got to - where the... where the heck's the nurse?"

Vettel tells media to give Mick Schumacher a break after latest crash | RaceFans Round-up

In the round-up: Sebastian Vettel thinks Mick Schumacher is getting too much criticism from journalists. In brief Vettel defends Schumacher after Monaco crash Following Mick Schumacher’s heavy Monaco Grand Prix crash, Vettel urged members of the media not to give him a hard time. “It’s so easy to get it wrong so quickly,” said the four-times world champion. “I don’t know exactly what happened to him I haven’t seen it. But the main thing is he’s okay.” Along with Williams driver Nicholas Latifi, Schumacher is one of two drivers to have started every race this year without scoring a point. Team mate Kevin Magnussen, who retired from Sunday’s race with an MGU-K failure, lies tenth in the standings on 15 points. Vettel said it’s clear Schumacher can raise his game. “I think there’s no doubt he’s capable of doing a lot more than what he’s showing at the minute,” he said. “But I think you guys need to give him a bit of a break.” Save at chicane was “pretty scary” – Zhou Zhou Guanyu described the moment he almost lost control of his Alfa Romeo at the chicane as “pretty scary”. He was trying to overtake Yuki Tsunoda at the time. “It wasn’t too cool in the cockpit, it was pretty scary in the moment,” he said afterwards. “It will be nice to have a look at the replay.” “It was tough out there,” said Zhou, who finished the race 16th. “Obviously it was very damp on the inside and there’s not much slipstream you can get. So that was probably the closest lap I’ve been to Yuki so I really had to dive up the inside at the last minute. “Unfortunately he tried to cover a little bit and at the moment I tried to avoid that I hit the wet patch. I was just about to keep the car on track there. “The rules [say] say you have to left the past before [turn] 12 and then I had no real exit and Latifi got me. But I don’t think that really matters. At least I tried to bring a position.” Alpine expected tough weekend in Monaco Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi said the team’s tough weekend in Monaco came as no surprise. Fernando Alonso, who finished seventh, brought the team’s only points of the day. “As a team, we were expecting it to be a challenging weekend at a circuit with so many slow-speed corners, which does not tend to suit our car,” said Rossi. He said the team found useful set-up tweaks for its A522 in Monaco. “We’ve had to dig deep all weekend to make improvements between Friday and Saturday, which not only helped us this weekend, but also bodes well for the future where we can take forward this knowledge in adapting our car to all types of tracks.” Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free Happy birthday!

Thursday ‘Kings & Queens’ Radio Prompt List

Please check the updated character list on my pinned post to see who I am writing for before submitting a prompt!

Also read the rules and do not forget to put the entire prompt into your ask!

Been two years since he left me

The way you smile, the way you walk

He's only here for one thing But (so am I)

I'll show you how a real queen behaves,

I wish that when you walked in, I could hide it

Baby, I wanna drink you in like oxygen

A black leather jacket, A bad reputation, Insatiable habits

I throw my phone into a lake And watch it sink to a better place, down at the bottom

But queens are free to go wherever they like

You can either lead, follow or get out the way

I wish that when we touched, there wasn't lightnin'

I swear on my life that I've been a good girl Tonight, I don't wanna be her

She say I make her wet 

Good to know that you got free That town I know was keeping you down on your knees

These bruises make for better conversation

He was onto me, one look and I couldn't breathe

And I'm stumbling drunk, getting in a car

That girl know what she want, she make me take it off when she see me

They say he likes a good time

I think my life might be better if I lived in Colorado

You say you wish our hearts had better timin'

Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day

My mind is a place that I can't escape your ghost

I know too well how, it feels when you fall

Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me

Yeah, I said, "If you kiss me I might let it happen"

I don't want my best dressed day in a casket

She came with you and then left with me

Please don't fix a thing, whatever you do

And I'll admit, it would be nice To meet some guy who's not my type

'Cause it's 3am

And I'm calling everybody that I know

I've walked through hell, and I've battled the storms

Days pass by and my eyes stay dry, and I think that I'm okay

Darling, I just left the bar

It's good to let you in again

'Cause one of us is always holdin' somebody else

Cause maybe there I'd like myself Work on my mental health

We would pop champagne and raise a toast

I lost my chance when you met him

So take me to the Heavens now

Make a fuckin' move it would make my fuckin' day

And the both of us are gettin' good at foolin' ourselves

Wishing you were around but now it's too late

No damsel in distress, don't need to save me

She's in Queens with the man of her dreams

Sit around and get high, sippin' some white wine out the bottle

They say that the time will heal it, the pain will go away

Yeah, I'm a wreck since you've been gone

Can't live without me, you wanna, but you can't,

One more rainy day without you

Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head

ten years, is that what it's been?

Tell me, how am I supposed to move on?

But it's an empty dream That shit's not meant for me

But everything, it reminds me of you and it comes in waves

And meet some young ex-wife We'd start a brand new life

I choose the devil I know Over the heaven I don't

These days I'm becoming everything that I hate

Leaving you makes me wanna cry

I would love to fix it all for you

Too Much, My Love

Fandom: Rise of the Guardians Pairing: Jack Frost/Pitch Black, Nicholas St. North/Krampus Tags: Humor, Fluff, The Talk, Embarrassment, Anxiety, Mild Angst, Krampus has better things to do than this, But North asked nicely so Rating: T Words: 2,545 Summary: North has some tips for Jack on how to date the enemy.

The thing is, Jack hadn't meant for anyone to know.

For @rotgbingo 2021: Dating The Boss On AO3 Here.

For @cynical-bonehead, who gave me the original idea to do this <3

“Jack.”

North’s warm, heavy hand settled on Jack’s shoulder and instantly filled the Guardian with dread. Normally his touch was a comfort, but combined with the tone of his voice and just that one word, his name… Jack pressed his lips together and fought the urge to run.

Whatever it was, North would be kind.

“Yes?”

“We must talk,” North said, sliding his hand down Jack’s back and steering him up the stairs toward the workshop. “It is time.”

This did not bode well. ...Actually, this bode perfectly neutral. Every time North took Jack to the workshop, it was for some serious topic of conversation delivered in North’s particular brand of intense, but it usually worked out okay for Jack. It would just be, you know, intense.

Jack took a breath and reminded himself that he hadn’t done anything to annoy North in at least a month and the man’s patience was near infinite so Jack had no reason to be concerned now.

Jack’s entire self pep-talk flew right out the window, along with his sense of how the world worked, when North opened the door to reveal who would be with them for today’s lecture.

He was tall. So tall. Distinctly reddish in hue, with a standing posture that filled Jack with foreboding just from the shape of it. North’s workshop was the absolute last place Jack expected to find Krampus.

How did he even get in here with horns that big?

North calmly closed the door behind them, and it never occured to Jack that Krampus might not have been invited. The only spirit, to Jack’s knowledge, to make it past the yetis was Pitch, and although Jack didn’t doubt Krampus could get in if he tried, the idea that he would choose to do it stealthily and wait patiently for them to discover him was not on brand.

Also, North didn’t immediately start yelling. That was a huge hint.

Krampus smiled and Jack took a step back. It was only half-voluntary.

“Hello Jackson.”

Wait. Jack’s brows came together and he took his step forward again. “That’s not my name”

Krampus’s whole face tilted, and Jack regretted his step all over again. “Are you sure?”

“...I was two seconds ago.”

“Jack!” North’s voice caught his attention and the tone was so relaxed and friendly that despite the horror in the corner, he felt his muscles loosen out of the knots they’d worked themselves into. “This is what we must talk about.”

Jack was so confused. “Is Krampus joining the Guardians?”

That was definitely a no, because both North and Krampus burst into laughter and Jack felt really stupid for the whole minute it took them to catch their breath.

“Then what?” he asked, irritation creeping up his shoulders at the fact he had to ask at all. Why was North leaving him to guess? More importantly, if North was bringing him here for a talk, why did it feel like Jack was being left out of a big joke?

“No no no,” North said with a shake of his head. His hand landed on Jack’s shoulder again, and this time it felt comforting and inclusive and instantly lowered Jack’s hackles down from high alert. “Is a good joke, Jack. Krampus is not Guardian. He is husband!”

Jack stared up at North, his brain refusing to comprehend. The room sort of darkened at the edges and Jack heard but didn’t really feel the crack in his voice when he asked, “What?”

North moved away from Jack and stood next to Krampus on the other side of the room. It helped—Jack suddenly felt like he could breathe again—but also hurt—what was North doing with a terrifying Anti-Santa spirit all the way over there?—and left Jack more uncertain than he’d been even when he outright rejected the words coming out of North’s mouth.

“We are husbands!” North said again, and at least Jack felt like he heard him this time. “This is how I know, and why I must be who talks to you.”

Jack… just did not understand. “About what?”

North looked at him with concerned eyes in a determinedly jovial face. Great, now they were both confused. “Pitch Black of course!”

Jack was always cold, so he was usually numb to it. Now, the unnatural chill of shock and fear dropped hard over his shoulders and settled heavily in his stomach. "What?"

North reached for Jack with one large hand, but they were standing too far away for him to reach. His smile dimmed as concern took a stronger hold of his features. "Jack? Are you alright?"

"Yeah, of course," he said on instinct. Why wouldn't he be alright? He couldn't feel his hands or feet right now and the workshop was looking a little gray around the edges, but Jack was fine.

North came closer still. He obviously didn't believe Jack. Jack wasn't sure Jack believed Jack. "You look pale."

"That's normal," Jack insisted. Which, it was, so… "Why do we need to talk about Pitch?"

North nodded, back bent in the sort of crouch one assumed when trying to convince a wild animal that you weren't dangerous. "You and him are dating, no?"

The chill flashed to heat in a bare second. Jack's entire head felt hot. "What? No. What?"

"It is okay," North assured, lips pulling into a tentative, calming smile. "I understand. You see? Because I am dating malicious spirit, too!"

Jack needed to sit down. There was a tabletop behind him. Jack sat on that.

He felt it when his hand knocked over a prototype toy plane on its way to his staff, and Jack considered that a good sign even if he didn't react to pick it up again. He leaned on his staff instead, and focused on breathing.

How did North know? They had been so careful, only meeting in deserted places or enclosed spaces. There should have been no way to find out. If North knew, did that mean…

Jack's head shot up. "Who else knows?"

"No one!" North said too quickly. Then, "probably Sandy."

Jack felt betrayal for all of two seconds before he realized Sandy could read dreams and… okay, yeah, that checked out.

"Who knows about you?" It felt fair to ask.

North nodded shortly. "Sandy."

Seemed legit.

Jack felt himself calming now that the initial shock had passed. North wasn't accusing him of anything. He really did seem to want nothing more than to talk about it.

"Okay…" The problem was, Jack still didn't know what there was to talk about. "So?"

"So!" North said with a flourish. Clearly he'd gotten his confidence back. "I want you to know you can talk to me!"

"About?"

"Pitch!" North leaned forward like he was telling Jack a secret, but the volume of his voice made secrets impossible. "Bad guys can be frustrating."

"Tell me about it," Jack deadpanned.

"Is that what I am?" Krampus said, instantly reminding Jack that he was actually going to be here for this whole conversation. "A bad guy?"

North grinned at him. Krampus might as well have been the only person in the room, by the way North was looking at him. Jack got the impression this was a running joke between them. "The baddest."

This was a side of North Jack hadn’t seen before. But why would he? This was North’s private life, and although Jack knew he was important to North, he wasn’t this kind of important to him.

Wait a second.

Jack’s hand landed hard on the tabletop in indignation. “I thought I was top of the naughty list?”

Krampus snorted a laugh and it was the most unsettling sound Jack had heard in a long time, but North’s eyes were back on Jack and his hand was waving dismissively in the air. “Different kind of naughty, Jack.”

“Augh!” Jack pressed both hands to his ears, then his eyes (which did nothing), then his ears again. “Is this how every kid feels when they think about their parents having sex?!”

Instead of the exhausted sort of patience Jack expected from such a display of childishness, North’s eyes grew large and wet with adoration. “You think of me like parent?”

Jack paused his dramatics to really look at North. Did the big guy really not know? Jack’s hands fell away from his ears as he said, “Yeah. Of course.”

The next thing he knew, North had Jack in a tight hug that was all warmth and excitement, with no room in between for things like doubt or air to breathe. Jack’s staff was somewhere on the floorboards behind him, but Jack’s feet weren’t on the ground to help him find it. Jack focused on holding onto North instead, and on the fact that North apparently hadn’t known the role Jack imagined for him in Jack’s life.

“I did not think you wanted parent, Jack,” North said without putting him down. His arms loosened a little, but that was as far away as North was letting him get for now. “Three hundred years is a little old for coddling,” he teased.

Jack laughed. He could admit the situation was a little strange, but they were spirits. They couldn’t help that. “You’ve still been around longer,” he pointed out.

North nodded in that sagely way he did and set Jack down on his perch. “Even better that I be the one to talk to you, then.”

Jack was going to wholly ignore that for as long as he could, because parental talks with their children about dating were never not horribly embarrassing for the kids. He leaned around North’s bulk to look Krampus dead in the eyes.

“I’m calling you Krampapa now.”

It was only fair. He was married to Jack’s dad, right? That’s how that worked.

Krampus didn’t look even mildly upset, which sort of mildly upset Jack, actually. He lifted his horned head in a regal yet foreboding way and simply said, “Acceptable.”

...Man really knew how to take the fun out of things, didn’t he? Jack was going to have to try harder.

After all, they were like family now.

North was beaming at the pair of them, and that made Jack feel better about everything instantly.

“About Pitch—”

Well, there went that.

A sudden cold wind in the workshop shut them up, and while Jack looked around to find the source, he noticed Krampus staring at a very specific spot, like he already knew what was coming. He probably did.

“Now,” a voice echoed hollowly off the wooden walls at the same moment that the lights dimmed in the workshop, and Jack knew instantly who it was. How could he not? “Why did you ask me here, Krampu—”

Pitch Black stopped short barely a second after materializing and stared with wide eyes at his audience full of Guardians.

He whirled on Krampus. “Is this a trap?!”

Unfortunately, Jack’s tone dead, “Yes,” coincided exactly with North’s empathic, “No!”

Pitch sized them up. Krampus wasn’t giving anything away, so Pitch had to make due with the easier targets in the room. Jack figured his defensive posture, curled half-behind North on the worktop, probably gave everything away.

He turned back to Krampus. “What is the meaning of this?”

“That I love my husband very much,” Krampus answered without missing a beat. His voice carried the boredom of a thousand years and the experience of just as long. “And that I would do anything for him, including subject myself to this.”

North was beaming again.

Pitch met Jack’s gaze.

“Explain.”

Jack pressed his lips together. Pitch wasn’t going to like this. “North is giving me The Talk.”

Pitch visibly winced and glared at Krampus. “And you brought me here for this?”

“Of course!” North boomed, arms thrown wide in the air in celebration. “It cannot be just one! Dating good guys can be frustrating, too!”

Krampus was nodding, but it looked like he was nodding to himself. “Some days.”

Pitch’s lip was pulling up into a snarl. The last thing Jack wanted was for him to lash out and make his relationship with the other Guardians even worse, so he slid down from the table and held his hands out placatingly. “Look, it’s okay. They mean well. Alright?”

Pitch didn’t look convinced, but the way North set a comforting and supportive hand on Jack’s shoulder and Krampus outright stared him down seemed to keep his behavior in check for now. He was going to be so grumpy later.

If Pitch managed to behave for this whole thing, Jack would owe him so many cuddles.

North seemed to take Pitch’s lack of retort as consent, because he slapped Jack on the back and loudly proclaimed, “First things first!”

He turned to face Jack and held his shoulders with both hands. “I have noticed in meetings. You react when Pitch Black is said. You should not.”

The hot feeling was returning to Jack’s face. His ears felt particularly on fire this time. “Am I really that obvious?”

North shrugged one shoulder, swaying his head back and forth as if to say ‘not really.’ However, Krampus behind him nodded resolutely. “Yes.”

North gave his husband a look. “Only if you know what to look for.” He smiled reassuringly at Jack and patted his shoulder. “I think Tooth and Bunny think it is to do with Tooth Palace and Easter Incident.”

Jack didn’t feel reassured at all.

“And you!” North said, spinning dramatically toward Pitch. “Work stays at work! You must let Jack be Guardian.” With a theatrical whirl, North turned on Jack. “And you must let him be Boogeyman!”

Pitch was taken aback. It was written all over his face. “But all you ever do is try to stop me.”

North’s hands came up in a very cut and dry sort of gesture, one hand slicing into the other with every word. “Work stays at work!” Then he pointed at Pitch. “When Jack is Guardian, he stops you. When Jack is boyfriend,” North lowered his hand and shrugged, “he does what he wants.”

“What about when I’m both?” Jack couldn’t help but ask.

North’s gaze softened immediately. “Dangerous to think, Jack. You want him to be happy, yes? Then you must let him be who he is.”

That was incredibly profound and Jack honestly hadn’t even considered it before. The shock he was feeling was written all over Pitch’s face when Jack locked eyes with him across the room. Jack did want him to be happy, and they had been working on compromises, but… overall, yeah. North’s words made sense.

"And now about making love!"

"Nope," Pitch said. The assembled group almost hadn't heard him though, because he’d dropped through the floor so fast.

That was his cue. Jack turned on his heel and took the opportunity to yeet himself through the open workshop window. "I'm out."

Left behind, North stared in stunned silence at the place where Jack had been. He eventually turned to Krampus, clearly confused. "Did I say something?"

Krampus took his own time to stare at his partner. North could be dangerously oblivious. It would be annoying if it were not so adorable. He patted North's hair comfortingly.

"Too much, My Love. Too much."

It’s Disney’s Investor’s Day and news of their projects just keep rolling out.

Disney bought LucasFilm for $4 billion so it’s no surprise they are going to exploit that IP the way Darth Vader....honestly, I don’t know. I’m not a “Star Wars” fan - I have nowhere to go with this analogy. 

Just know they’re going to use it. Besides the STAR WARS-verse series previously announced like Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series -

now complete with Hayden Christensen.

I hope he didn’t compel his daughter over to the dark side. 

and Diego Luna’s ANDOR

is the announcement of 10 more Star Wars and 10 more Marvel series including two THE MANDALORIAN spin-offs  RANGERS OF THE NEW REPUBLIC and AHSOKA.

An ALIENS series from Noah Hawley (FARGO, LEGION) set on Earth; and early talks about a series about the formation of The Rolling Stones focusing on the group from the 1960s to 1972.

A final INDIANA JONES film (and I hope they kill that miserable bastard off). Directed by James Mangold, at least it will look good.

NatGeo unscripted series from The Kardashians, Chris Hemsworth and Will Smith.

Say what now?

Final confirmation of THE LITTLE MERMAID live-action cast.

The one I’ve been waiting on: a sequel to 2007′s ENCHANTED starring Amy Adams. But it is titled DISENCHANTED which doesn’t bode well for the relationship between Adam’s Giselle and Patrick Dempsey’s Robert.

Pratt & Whitney Canada announced that Amphibian Aerospace Industries selected the PT6A-67F turboprop engine to equip its new G-111T version of the Albatross twin-engine amphibious aircraft as part of a supplementary type certificate (STC) for modernization.

“We are very pleased to play a role in the modernization of the G-111T aircraft, which has such an illustrious history,” said Nicholas Kanellias, vice president of General Aviation at Pratt & Whitney Canada. “PT6A-67F engines, each with 1,700 horsepower (SHP), will provide the amphibious aircraft G-111T with superior performance, longer range and the reliability and reference performance characteristics that are common to aircraft with PT6A engine.” The original G-111 Albatross aircraft was powered by piston engines.

“The G-111T is the only large amphibious aircraft in the category of passenger transport, cargo and utility on the market,” said Amphibian Aerospace Industries President Khoa Hoang. “Due to its ability to land and take off both on land and water, the G-111T is ideal for use in inland rivers, rescue in oceans, mountainous terrain and tropical river basins.”

Pilots and operators pilot airplanes with the PT6A engine with confidence, even in the most challenging conditions. The engine is based on the experience gained in more than 900 million hours of operating experience in our portfolio and the reliability of the PT6 family. With more than 50 years of experience in general aviation, the PT6A engine still benefits from 425 million flight hours - more flight hours than any other engine on the market - the PT6A is a proven engine and the most prolific in the segment.

“PT6A-67F engines have been identified as the engine of choice within the PT6A family for the application of G-111T aircraft,” said Anthony Rossi, vice president of Business Development at Pratt & Whitney Canada. “We have been working with Amphibian Aerospace for the last five years on this program and have developed an effective and productive relationship that bodes a great omen for the success of the program.”
