#The ultimate throw and pull combo

[sturniololuvz]

Would you make one where Chris’s daughter is like 14 and she’s rlly competitive and for a video they do a bunch of challenges and she gets hurt but ignores it, cause she doesn’t like to lose, but then she came second to Chris, and she start to cry and laugh at the same time and acts like she’s mad at him, shes not seriously mad, make it funny 💕 btw your fics were always good but recently they been so good 😊

thank uuuu

“I’m Not Crying, You’re Cheating!”

⸻

“Okay, ready?” Nick clapped his hands and pointed at the camera. “We’re doing the Ultimate Family Challenge Showdown—winner gets bragging rights, and the loser has to do a TikTok dance with no rhythm.”

Chris smirked at you. “So you might wanna get that Renegade ready, princess.”

You scoffed, tugging your hair into a messy ponytail. “Dad, please. I literally beat you in Mario Kart blindfolded.”

Matt held up a whiteboard with everyone’s names. “Challenge one: obstacle course. Backyard edition. Let’s go.”

⸻

You were a beast. You crushed the obstacle course—vaulting over a lawn chair, crawling under a table, hopping over a pool float. But halfway through, you clipped your knee on a brick near the shed. You hissed quietly, glancing down.

Yep. Scraped, red, bleeding just a little. But it wasn’t that bad.

You stood up, shook it off, and charged through the rest of the course like nothing happened.

Chris had seen it, though.

“Hey, you okay?” he asked, jogging over with a bottle of water as you plopped dramatically onto the grass.

“I’m fine,” you said, waving him off. “Don’t distract me, I’m mentally prepping for the next round.”

He raised a brow. “You’re bleeding.”

You shrugged. “Battle scar. It’s fine. Real champions don’t cry over scratches.”

Matt, off to the side, whispered to Nick: “She’s definitely her dad’s kid.”

⸻

Challenge two: Water balloon dodgeball. You and Matt were instantly in an alliance until he betrayed you ten seconds in by pelting you in the shoulder.

“YOU LITTLE—”

“Sorry!” he shouted, laughing and running for cover.

You launched a balloon at him so hard it burst mid-air.

Chris was on fire. Literally hadn’t missed a throw. Every time you tried to catch him, he juked you with a stupid little dance move and yelled, “BOOM! Outta here!”

You were still in the top three when the round ended. But your knee was throbbing.

Still, you refused to quit.

⸻

Final round: Trivia + mini physical challenge combo. You and Chris were neck and neck.

“Last question!” Nick yelled. “Who is the tallest Sturniolo triplet—”

“Nick!” you and Chris shouted at the same time.

“Correct!” Nick laughed. “Now, final tie-breaker: three-legged race—Chris versus his clone.”

Chris grinned and held out his arm to you. “Let’s go, champ.”

You wrapped your arm around him, the two of you limping toward the finish line together like maniacs.

You were killing it—until your knee buckled a little at the end and slowed you down just enough for Chris to edge across first.

“AND THE WINNER IS… CHRIS!” Matt screamed, holding up his arm like he was at a wrestling match.

You stood there, sweaty, bruised, bleeding, and absolutely fuming.

You weren’t really mad… but you were also definitely crying and laughing at the same time.

“I hate you so much,” you said, voice wobbly as you shoved him with one hand, the other trying to wipe your face. “You cheated. You have… longer legs or something.”

Chris, red-faced and laughing, pulled you into a hug. “Oh my god, are you crying?”

“NO! I’M SWEATING FROM MY EYES!”

Nick, still filming, whispered to the camera: “She’s crying because she lost to her dad. She’s also bleeding. This is the most intense video we’ve ever done.”

You pushed away from Chris dramatically. “Don’t touch me. I’m mourning my dignity.”

Chris knelt down, inspecting your knee again. “You literally shredded your leg and kept going just so you wouldn’t lose.”

You sniffled and gave him a weak smile. “Was it worth it?”

He grinned. “Absolutely not. But you’re insane, and I love it.”

Matt jogged over with an ice pack and a Capri Sun. “Here. Champion recovery kit.”

You sipped dramatically from the straw. “I’m coming back stronger next time.”

Nick zoomed in on your face. “Any last words for the camera?”

You looked deadpan. “My dad’s a cheater. Subscribe for revenge.”

Ghouls on vacation

Totally not inspired by me going to the seaside over the weekend. Not at all.

HEADCANONS UNDER THE CUT, LET'S GO

AETHER

gets everything set up

if there's a Papa nearby, he will make him sit down and rest, no buts

he'll go swimming, but will not put his head under the water. And he'll do at least one dive-bomb to soak any unfortunate soul who is close enough

he'll read crime mistery books while lounging on a deck chair (bonus point if there's a beer in his hand)

he has the Dad™️ fit: flip-flops, swimming trunks (with palm trees or dolphins or pineapples on them), an open hawaian shirt and the sunglasses and baseball cap combo

RAIN

knows how to surf

idk how or when or where he'd learn, but he DOES

also the sun brings out his bioluminescent spots (the biology probably doesn't check out but idc, I headcanon that he has bioluminescent freckles and the sun brings out freckles so)

(in his human glamour), he doesn't tan a lot (I might be projecting but it's *MY* headcanon and *I* get to choose the bitch that will simply not tan 😤)

if possible, he'll unglamour just to dive as deep as he can go

he's the bastard that brings out the pretty rocks and seashells

might also befriend a fish or two while he's at it

he pulls the "my hair is wet so I have to shake the water off OH NO I WAS STANDING TOO CLOSE AND SOMEONE GOT SPRAYED this surely was not on purpouse I would never 🥺👉🏻👈🏻"

PHANTOM

he'd be a bit scared to go in at first, but ultimately would get coaxed into it

he swims by doggy paddling for the better part of his time at the beach. He knows how to swim, that's just more fun to him

builds sandcastles (and honestly slays at it)

hates the feeling of salt in his hair after it dries, so Cumulus brings a water bottle along so he can rinse it out when he gets out of the sea

he gets HUNGRY after a swim

tries to dive along with Rain, but isn't able to go as deep since he's not a water Ghoul. He will, however, make it his job to point out pretty seashells and demand Rain gets them for him

SWISS

an absolute heathen in the water

he'll creep up behind people (mostly Dew or Phantom) and push their head under the water

he steals a bucket from Phantom and uses it to absolutely SOAK Aurora with the water he scoops from the sea

he tans both in human glamour and in actual Ghoul form

also knows how to surf (dude bro energy fr fr)

he'll be a menace and playfully tease and torment everyone but as soon as someone tells him to stop, he'll be on his best behaviour

reminds everyone to drink water (resorted to throwing a bottle at Rain's head one time cuz he would ignore him and refuse to stop swimming. Rain listened immediately)

DEWDROP

hair in a high bun IMMEDIATELY, will NOT let them get wet

unless Swiss pulls him under, but that usually warrants Swiss getting chased up and down the beach for 15 minutes with a fuming (HAH) Dew behind him

he'd bring a sunshade umbrella to stick in the sand (and then not use it cuz he likes to bask in the sun)

he'd also join Phantom in his sandcastle endeavours by digging a moat around the structure

will swim, but only for a little bit, he'd rather make himself sizzle in the sun

he doesn't really tan, but also doesn't get a sunburn (something something fire Ghoul)

Cumulus still manhandles him into putting on sunscreen (as she does with everyone)

MOUNTAIN

THE SUN MAKES HIS FRECKLES SO PROMINENT AND EVERYONE LOOKS AT HIM LIKE 💖👄💖

usually throws his hair into a haphazard bun and leaves it like that for the entire time

he jumps into the water EXCLUSIVELY by diving headfirst

he doesn't mind the salt on his skin after he dries off, he's used to the grime from the greenhouse and the gardens anyways

he tans, and the freckles on his shoulders/back/collarbone get much more visible as well

his cheeks also get a bit pinker from the sun and everyone calls him adorable because of it

will observe the local flora and fauna, he just can't help himself honestly (and he WILL tell Rain all the sea life fun facts he knows)

drinks only water, but occasionally he'll treat himself to a pre-mixed cocktail if Cumulus brings any (she always does)

CUMULUS

mom friend fr

brings an extra tube of sunscreen (both for the body and the face) just in case someone forgets

manhandles EVERYONE into putting it on

also brings some extra towels in case someone gets theirs wet by accident or forgets it completely

she packs snacks and fruit, as well as drinks (the cooler bag carried by Aether, of course)

she likes swimming, and doesn't mind diving or getting her hair wet (her hair gets really curly and fluffy when it's dry and everyone thinks it's the cutest thing ever)

reads romance novels

she steals the sunshade from Dew, he doesn't need it anyways

helps people to brush out their hair if they need it after a swim

the only person who could convince Rain to get out of the water immediately

CIRRUS

Rich Wine Aunt energy and she shows it

black bikini with a black sheer robe over it

big sunglasses and a big ass hat as well

she doesn't really go swimming a lot, she preferes to tan

reads horror novels on the beach

usually drinks a cosmopolitan cocktail while she lounges, sometimes (although rarely) a beer

she keeps her hair down for the added Dramatic Effect

she keeps everyone (or at least the Ghouls not in the water) cool with her air magic (Dew asked her to stop doing that for him cuz he likes burning in the sun)

will not tolerate being bothered in her peace (she will, actually, but she'll be extremely annoyed about it)

SUNSHINE

much like Dew, she loves to bask in the warmth of the sun

her hair gets hella curly and bouncy from the salt water

she has a whole "after tanning" routine so her skin won't get messed up

also she tans quite a lot

uses a tanning jam

likes to nap under the sunshade with Cumulus

she puts on headphones, plays some music aaaaand she's dozing off

the third surfer of the group (YES I'M HAVING "MALIBU RISING" BRAINROT IT'S SUCH A GOOD SUMMER BOOK)

makes necklaces out of the shells Rain picks up (if she manages to convince him to give some up)

star shaped sunglasses

AURORA

helps Phantom build sandcastles

also brings pretty rocks (and steals shells from Rain when he's not there) to decorate them

she LOVES swimming and diving

"her hair turns bright pink in salt water" ~@ligovskaya (okay Barbie mermaid toy moment 💅🏻✨️)

she does her nails on theme (either to do with the sea, the beach, fish, so on and so forth)

is in the process of learning how to surf and is being taught by Sunshine

she likes to listen to music but like on an ipod shuffle with wired headphones

has heart shaped sunglasses (got them from Sunshine cuz she decided that she's adopting Aurora as a sister, therefore they have to match)

she has the cutest, frilliest pink bathing suit (she's a pink girlie to me)

uses a tanning jam as well, but mostly because it smells nice

okay, this is it for now, I will gladly do other Ghouls or Papas if you guys want, you can pop into my ask box as well :3

[theallianceofcelestials]

File away for after Monday; What if the SCP family had a fun beach day? :)

It'd be something Eclipse planned, because he doesn't trust his family anymore with vacationing.

He'd probably take them to a private beach, or one that has fewer people at least, because he does NOT want his family to mix with too many humans. He thinks someone would lose a limb then. And then he'd ultimately be convinced to take them to a normal beach, so he's ready to leave and throw them under the bus the moment someone attacks a human. So his family behaves, if only so they can experience the full beach day experience.

Sun would probably like to sit on the edge of the water, letting his toes get wet while he enjoys some sunshine. He'd have one of those typical coconut cocktail things, and a big sunhat with sunglasses too, and probably a fancier beach attire because he deserves good things after being in a prison for potentially thousands of years while he's innocent. You can't take that away from him.

Moon would spend almost the entire time trying out the different snacks and drinks, then sitting down next to Sun to share his current bounty. He's the one supplying his brother with his cocktails, and ultimately he'd do multiple rounds of icecream for everyone.

Bloodmoon would be in the water, playfully terrirising people and bringing back beachballs that were tossed too far. They'd sometimes just float in the typical starfish position, just enjoying the sun and water combo.

These are the exact moments Lunar would jump on their stomach, making them all sink. He thinks it's very funny, and constantly pulls the baby brother card to get out of trouble.

It'd ultimately fail when Killcode, having had enough, grabs his youngest and playfully tosses him into the water. He's careful of course, Lunar is shrieking in joy. This only happens while he's in the water, because after a while he'd switch with Solar Flare who's been sitting with their things under a beach umbrella thing, reading a book. Once KC has been there a while, talking with Eclipse when he occasionally comes over, he'd probably be approached by women who are bored and looking for company. He wouldn't understand what they want from him, and would be deeply uncomfortable. His older brothers are laughing at him from afar too, which makes everything worse.

Solar Flare as I mentioned was first the designated guard who was mostly reading and sometimes eating its icecream, but afterwards it'd also join its siblings in the water. It'd bring with it a beachball, which inevitably results in multiple competitions.

Eclipse would alternate about where he is, however after lunch, which would probably be at some fancier beachside restaurant, he'd just chill with Killcode and read in his lap. He'd be a great deterrent for people interested in his father, because sometimes he'd purposefully do a little "woe is us for mother has managed to get sick on the day we were going to the beach, but she told us to come anyway", only to sometimes switch it up with new groups of people and be like "So your boytoy didn't come because?". It's thanks to him Killcode would understand people were attempting to flirt with him. Eclipse would have to explain to him why he was approached by people who had partners and why so many humans were interested.

He wouldn't appreciate the family beachday after that as much, because he did not want to have a conversation about humans and their weird tastes with an ancient SCP, thanks.

They'd have one last dinner in some eat as much as you can place (I love those), and then they'd go home to faceplant into the bed.

[lialooliam]

You have unlocked:

Phill 'N' Dromeda!!

The minor changes I did on him is that he was too similar from Fever Dream's theme, so I went for the spilled liquid pattern to match more what I'm aiming for. I also gave up of the little hat, sadly 😔

Information:

an articulated plastic doll, who's both a hyperactive guy and focused chemical scientist. He can be described by having a water-gasoline personality, feeling okay by making his friends laugh with his mistakes and being a chaotic critter when he's in battle.

In battle:

He throws test tubes and chemical bottles at the enemy as normal attack, when you get a full combo the mf pulls up a spray and lighter and that gives the enemy 15% burn damage (homemade flamethrower chat /j). The ultimate is him putting on some safety glasses, grins and throws magnesium and a match at the enemy, making them burn in white fire.

Birthday 7/11:

It's Marie Curie's birthday! For being the woman who discovered two radioactive elements in the periodic table, which her and her husband died because they consumed that sruff- Phill is very likely to do so.

Probable voiceless:

- "behold! My newest discovery- oh, never mind, just some bismuth...! Heh"

- "oh come onnn, just one little test! I promise I won't use fire this time!!"

- "*muttering* wha- hey, where are my stuff at?"

Combo - "time to make a NEW FIRE PIT! HAHAHA!!"

Ultimate - "Quick! Pick a color! ... meh, NEVER MIND! HYEHEHEHE"

Victory - "phew, we'll just uh... leave this mess here...!"

Defeat - "I broke everything... My precious equipment... Noooooo..."

Been playing way too much Marvel Rivals, and have been thinking a lot abt Atticus again, especially with his new powers. So, uh, heres a Marvel Rivals moveset for him.

Atticus Moore

Vanguard

400 Health

A hybrid Vanguard/DPS in the vein of The Thing and Hulk. Designed to be played initially as a DPS with short range and fast movement, Atticus has a unique mechanic named “Confidence”. Taking damage and landing his basic attack builds Confidence up to 100%, which builds additional bonus health as it increases. At 100% Atticus enters a special form, granting him invincibility to CC, a bonus 200 bonus health, and augments his basic attack and all of his special moves. Also grants his abilities the potential to cancel into each other, creating a high-survivability brawler. Confidence drains by using abilities and by dying.

Basic Attack: A 3-hit short jab combo. Deal 20 damage per hit. Every hit builds Confidence by 5%. At full Confidence it becomes a quick-hitting 5 hit combo that deals 50 per hit but drains confidence by 5% per attack and reaches further forward. 

Special Moves

Quick Step: Atticus dashes forwards or backwards 1m. Good for avoiding attacks, CC and getting into cover. At 100% Confidence, Atticus is invincible while dashing, and punches forward, knocking back anyone in the way, stunning them and dealing damage. Drains 10% Confidence.

Invincible Skin: Atticus takes a deep breath, becoming invulnerable to damage for a second. If hit, he counters with a quick clothesline, which deals large amounts of damage and moves him forward. At 100% the damage is increased, and also he receives bonus health. Drains 25% confidence.

Brutal Swing: Atticus dashes forward and grabs a target, spinning them around and throwing them into the air, stunning them and dealing a small amount of damage. At 100% confidence, Atticus instead slams his target into the ground, dealing several quick hits in succession before tossing them away. This attack executes enemies on low health. Drains 50% Confidence.

Ultimate

Speed Bag: Atticus dashes towards an enemy, dealing multiple high damage hits. If there is another enemy nearby, Atticus will repeat this process up to four times. At 100% confidence, Atticus will pull them together, then deal a final large hit that deals heavy damage to every enemy caught in the attack.

Team Ups

Teddy Bear Express: (Magik/Atticus): Atticus gains access to Magik’s portals, allowing him to utilize her dash. He can activate Brutal Swing out of this move.

[ratical-crazed-sock-gremlin]

Finally back to the weekly schedule, we have a new hero concept, and it's an obscure one I only wrote because I thought the character was hilarious. This concept isn't as serious as the rest, although I do actually like what I came up with for:

The Fin

Listen. He's a brain dead pick here for the meme. Nobody knows or cares who this idiot is but me, and I don't care about that. In the comics, he was one of the Invaders alongside Cap, Bucky, Spitfire, and Namor. For some reason he's also the king of Atlantis. Somehow. He's a hand to hand combat hero, and a military soldier. So he'd definitely go into the Duelist tab. I imagine he'd be a melee hero with a 300 health, although he's also gotta get some range in there. Also for reference, this is a cutlass.

Fin would be a very aggressive dive hero due to his war history.

[ ] Primary Fire 1 (right Trigger):

Melee hero means he's a puncher. I specifically imagine his combo would include a kick visibly resembling Black Widow's dancer kick. He could also make use of the magical cutlass he's said to have according to the wiki.

[ ] Primary Fire 2 (Y/🔺️ into right Trigger):

Fin switches to a M1 Garand shotgun with an ammunition of 30 shots. (I Googled common guns in ww2 for this character because I found it funny.)

[ ] Secondary Fire (Left trigger):

He gets down to his knees, stabbing the ground with his cutlass, dashing forward and slashing upward with the sword. This sends a wave in the direction he dashed.

[ ] Ability 1 (right bumper):

Fin pulls out a grenade and sends it a good distance away. The throw mechanic works/resembles the hulk jump mechanic with the big blue arrow that arks up. The grenade does AOE damage.

[ ] Ability 2 (Left bumper):

Fin can dive and swim in the ground like Jeff, however his swimming visibly resembles a person doing dolphin dives over and over. When in swim mode, he can do a super jump to launch into the air. When in the air, his melee turns into an upercut to give even more upward momentum.

[ ] Passive ability

Patriotism is a silent status which increases upon getting kills. The higher his patriotism is, the more damage he'll be doing and the less damage he'll be taking. However the longer he goes without getting kills, the more he'll calm down eventually resetting patriotism to zero. Thus making him a very aggressive hero.

[ ] Team up ability 1

When paired with Captain America, Fin's confidence and patriotism skyrockets passively. He now takes reduced critical damage as well.

[ ] Team up ability 2I

f on the team with Namor, Fin can land headshots on his shotgun, or get a kill with his grenade to aggravate Namor's squids.

[ ] Ultimate Ability (both sticks pressed):

Fin calls in the cavalry. The king of Atlantis gains maximum patriotism, and gives his nearby teammates damage increases and bonus health.

Next week I'll post a hero with a far more serious interpretation kit, Gertrude Yorks and her companion Old Lace.

[stevewarlock]

What if Jubilee was in Rivals?

Jubilation Lee is easily the most iconic character from the classic X-Men cartoon, being one of the most 90's characters ever conceived, and her appearance in X-Men '97 has only made her more beloved. This young firecracker isn't a mutant who should be left out of Marvel Rivals, as her abilities work well for the game.

Class: Duelist

Much like Gambit, Jubilee's explosive abilities just make sense for a duelist role. Not much more to be said on that count as very few would argue she's suited for anything else.

Abilities:

Left click: Pyrotechnics - Jubilee fires a small projectile that explodes after traveling a short distance, damaging any enemies nearby. It deals around 90 damage but can't headshot.

Q: Chromatrope - Jubilee creates a swirling mass of fireworks before throwing it. The sphere absorbs projectiles that would have hit her while charging, and pulls enemies towards itself before exploding for massive damage.

Right click: Firecracker - Jubilee creates a short range explosion akin to a shotgun blast. It deals less damage than the Punisher's shotgun, but fires faster.

E: Fireworks Show - Jubilee stuns an enemy with a projectile for 2 seconds. This ability has an 8 second cooldown.

Shift: Skate Rat - Jubilee hops on her skateboard for a massive speed boost that lasts for 5 seconds. This ability has a 10 second cooldown.

Passive: Explosive Youth - Jubilee creates a final firework when she dies, dealing 100 damage to enemies nearby.

Team-Ups:

Fire and Ice (Jubilee/Luna Snow)

When Luna Snow uses her ultimate, Jubilee can press Z to join in, granting a damage boost to everyone within Luna's radius.

Jubilee turned out pretty good all things considered! A fairly mobile hero with ranged attacks that work best at mid or close range makes her an excellent addition to any dive team, and her combo with Luna Snow means any team will have one exceptionally powerful ultimate! This 90's kid is good to go!

[urmanipulatorytendencies]

enha as twenty first century american teenager stereotypes (up until 2024)

I LIV LAF LUV playing association with enhypen because they're my interesting little stinka-butts who, in my opinion, are so frozen in this whole kpop ordeal and i need them BROKEN FREEEE

Hybe, babes, let them explore the real world and interact with idols and people who don't gaf about their latest random single release and just wanna vibe w them I BEG

+ Yang Jungwon aka "Maicah"

Maicah Jungwon Yang is the middle man of your class. He's involved, he's energetic with the dude-bros, and he's on the JV basketball team. He only has okay grades but is somehow on Student Council. He's friends with a ton of the Varsity boys, and he's got lots of cool friends. Jungwon is super bubbly but he's really put together. His rl engagement in school and enha leadership compels me to think he's responsible enough to be in Student Council but bros also just an athlete. He'd also probs be on the track team as a 100m sprinter or smth. He'd definitely have a lot of friends but he might have a surprisingly unconventional bestie. Maicah wears the same two pairs of nike sweats along with Yeezy slides and a black hoodie. If it's cold, Maicah brings a Spiderman blanket to school.

+ Lee Heeseung aka "Ethan"

Ethan is the ultimate trend maxxer of whatever Bay Area high school you have imagined. He wears string earphones, never sporting shorts, and always has a damn beanie on. Absolutely not in sports-- is THE arts student. He's on the junior group of horn instruments in band, probably plays the trumpet, and isn't all that great but he's a fast learner. Hee would be top 30 in his class, but would most likely prioritize his rising Sound Cloud presence post-Grad. Doesn't date but he has a lot of younger friends, flirts with girls two years younger than him but also maintains a homoerotic friendship with his childhood friend in college who's like a year older than him.

+ Park Jay aka "Jay"-- DUH

Jay is the batman. He's farms or surfs (depending on what region you imagine we're in the context of) by day, and is in a garage band by night. He has a super duper close knit friend group of equally spunky guys. Has absolutely no female friends-- not out of misogyny or anything but bro is just such a dude idk. He's pretty smart, def a AP Chem warrior but stinks at stem. His focal point is the school guitar group. He probably gets his community service hours working with the lunch ladies. Jay is charismatic and super sweet-- but he probably deals with anger issues and was def that kid in behavior management during elementary. Despite his emo TM status-- Jay wears the fluck out of his chino + Sperrys combo.

+ Sim Jaeyun aka "Jake"-- DUH

He is the captain of the Varsity Soccer team. Jake is popular as a mf; has a big friend group, dates around, is loved by the teachers, and most of the school appreciates his mega vibes. Think Jeremiah from The Summer I Turned Pretty. Jake probably gets zesty allegations cause he wears lots of jewelry and paints his nails but he doesn't mind cause trust-- he's pulling every female bro-lover in the COUNTY. He's super duper competitive and is a strict captain, which is the only reason why someone'd have a problem with him...but he makes up for it by being a beast on the field. He's also on Honor Roll, cranking his Class with a 4.6 GPA and Salutatorian status. He's a chronic overstayer at school with him being in sports and academic clubs year round. Jake probably has some weird connections with Parker which throw people off like Junior year. Chronic Croc wearer. Bro's committing to Notre Dame for Soccer.

+ Park Sunghoon aka "Parker"

The hottest loser on campus fr fr. He's well known for being the numba one hallway crush but bro has no school friends so everyone kinda just assumes he's a little bit of a bitch (in the best way possible). He never stays longer than he has to but he's a hard worker and the history teacher loves his compassion for AP Gov.. He's a club Volleyball player outside of school but he's not in school athletics (he's got connections to the Athletics Dir. tho). He's always at school early to use the weight room and he's an avid lean pump master poster on IG. Hoon was super isolated as a kid so I imagine that Parker would probably have a hard time being social with just normal kids (Parker's homeschooled in elementary for the plot). He was probably chubby in middle school and then had a gigantourous glow up freshman-sophomore year: 6'0, lean muscle, "clean guy" aesthetic. Guys def wanna be him but they're jelly cause their girlfriends are obsessed. Closet gay but no one knows until a random IG story during college where he takes a pic w his boyfriend or something idk. Wears Jordan 4s.

+ Kim Sunoo aka "Sonny"

The typical friendly gay bestie minus the obnoxious Netflixed exaggerations (i.e. loud and super sassy). Just think about the token feminine gay guy at your school-- he probably has a group of girl friends, is kinda introverted lwk, wears either super outdated 2018 IG fashion or is the most fabulous Hollister warrior. He definitely has a weird situationship with one of the popular guys-- top athlete, unlikely to be friends with him but is anyways...you know the shabang. Sonny's pretty witty, pretty scholarly-- excels in stem but has a soft spot for English. He probably listens to Ariana Grande and is a Olivia Rodrigo die-hard. Sonny probably bakes, too. Overall, he's on the low but anyone knows that unprovoked, that mf is loud sometimes. Will not hesitate to beat a bitch up too.

+ Nishimura Ri ki aka "Nico"

The skater boi TM, bahaha. Just kidding, but fr, I think American Ri ki would skateboard. Like-- in an East Coast way not a West Coast way if you catch my drift. He's a New Yorker at heart-- going to a crowded arts school somewhere idk. He's constantly outdoing himself with the fits-- the girls love it. He's can be shy but has a knack for being a trouble maker-- probably went to special group as a kid, the guy with ADHD (not that that's a big deal but ik we all got that one guy in class that's hyper to no end, n to me, that's ri ki). Nico's got a couple friends, plays basketball in his free time, and his specialty is, of course, dance. He leads the department by a long shot so everyone either loves him or hates him. Nico isn't afraid to be flamboyant or outgoing (as Ri ki is competitive and a little bit of a diva) but can come off a little high strung sometimes.

[dufferpuffer]

Hello! Just wanted to reach out and say hi. I went through a bunch of your posts a few weeks ago (some of them are sitting in my queue lol) and I really like your insight. Remus is nowhere near my fav marauder (Sirius Black for the win!) but I enjoy your posts about him. I think Remus is a fascinating character - I think all the marauders era kids are interesting - but I think the whitewashing of Remus by fandom made him seem more boring then he actually is.

So two questions. What is your favourite thing about Remus? Who is your second favourite marauder after Remus??

Hi! :)

My favourite thing about my pretty little woof woof man...? His silly mustache <3 and pretty grey hairs <3 His complex mix of thoughts, emotions and instincts on literally everything, its like his brain is a storm of conflicting drives. (unlike Sirius for example, who is quite straight forward) But seriously: I am disabled. I have an invisible digestive disability that doctors don't want to engage with because they don't know what to call it, and thus the paperwork is a nightmare for them. There's no treatments that have worked and it prevents me from living a normal life, even if I look relatively 'normal' most of the time.

The moment I trust a doctor - or sometimes even a friend... I've had the carpet pulled from under my feet more often than not. People not understanding the full severity of it because they always see me at my best... or just not caring as much as I thought they did. It's started to harm my mental health, which sucks because growing up I had surprisingly good mental health other than PTSD.

After a particularly bad hospital visit last year I had a bit of a breakdown, which lead me to re-discovering Harry Potter. (My sister was a potterhead - I was a bit too young for it.) And Remus Lupin was just.... there. In all his glory. Being a shockingly good representation of what disabled people like me go through internally, within a series most are throwing away right now. I really, really love that about him. He has a shocking about of depth from that angle specifically, when most disabled characters are written to either have their whole life dictated by their issue - or to have their issue basically erased through amazing future prosthetics.

My second favourite is Sirius Black. Sexy man. I kinda think Oldman half-assed the role - but thats ok because he is very pretty and I can look at him.

But I like him for similar reasons, ultimately: He is an absolute wonderful case of mental health. Azkaban is not a prison of physical torture - you sit ialone in a room with a Dementor just outside your door stealing all your best memories and leaving you with sorrow. It's Depression. Deep, dark, lonely Depression. It's being trapped in not just your own room but your own head. When he gets out - when he is given something to believe in, and has the drive to get out - life isn't too different. He turns to drinking. He throws all of himself to the one bright spark in his life: His godson.

If you mean teenage Marauders - I think my second favourite might be Peter, just because he intrigues me - but I don't have too much interest in teen marauders. I'm here for sad men, not teens.

From what ive seen of 'Marauder fandom' stuff on Remus... I honestly don't know how you can look at an insecure man with a goofy mustache that learns all the kids names before class, offers chocolate and tea to students and says 'marvelous' - and think he was some sort of tall, tough, gruff and snarky 'teen wolf' teenager. It IS flat and boring. He had so much more going on (as does Sirius) then being just another Alpha Werewolf Dom + White Twink Sub combo. Wolfstar shippers deserve better.

Hardware, function and flavor: A snapshot (or 3)

As a flavor nerd, I spend a lot of time on nuance. I consider that flavor is a constructed percept of physical and chemical exchanges between a brain and its environment. One effect of this is that there are no universal truths about flavor; attempts to experience it with any authenticity ultimately amount to individual pursuit. So, alongside my cleaning routine, I can exert physical influence by optimizing hardware combos based on temperatures that are optimized based on dosage size. I filmed some R&D for this post using IC Collective's Alley Cat—links and notes after the jump.

And, as always, these are guideposts, not traffic lights.

Low Temp

The nail: G7 Blender

The cap: 24mm quartz diamond cap

The insert: 1x 8mm quartz sphere

The temp: Hot start at 510°F

The dose: 0.07g

melt shot by anthonyjames

This blender-style nail uses 3mm tubing for thick walls in a 65mm column fed by swirled intake grooves in the dish. The resulting function is so far my ideal for low temps and small doses. The thick walls do well with holding heat, and the grooving creates enough torque to amplify how much surface the oil covers in a smooth, easy draw.

The column height accommodates a reasonable amount of draw strength, but the high torque can easily flood oil into the neck & joint. That's why I use this cap/sphere combo, rather than my ballasted cap and/or pillar. The ballasted cap can work fine, but I find it tends to pick up my oil and channel it right into the neck. To similar effect, I find my hollow pillar spatters too much up there.

Mid Temp

The nail: Victoria D

The cap: 24mm quartz diamond cap

The insert: 1x 8mm quartz sphere

The temp: Hot start at 525°F

The dose: 0.1g

melt shot by anthonyjames

This banger-style nail also uses 3mm tubing, I think (it retains heat similar to the G7), and its geometry is key. It has a short, straight band at its base (beneath the lower holes) that, together with the floor, forms most of the work surface. From there the sides slope inward up to the neck, and there is an upper drill hole angled for spin. The resulting function easily handles medium temps and a range of doses, because it tends to keep the oil down at the base, regardless of draw strength.

It takes a significant amount of draw force to pull the oil upward. With one 8mm pearl, I find it difficult to flood the neck. This thing also purrs like a kitten at high speed, which feels very satisfying! I do have the same issues with the ballasted cap as I do with the G7.

Bonus points: the sheer volume of the chamber creates enough suction that when the water backflows naturally after a draw, it exhausts noticeable puffs of vapor out the drill holes 🐲

High Temp

The nail: Titan 2

The cap: PukinBeagle Quartz Diamond Apex Cap

The insert: 1x 5x8x30mm hollow quartz pillar

The temp: Hot start at 550°F

The dose: 0.15g

melt shot by anthonyjames

This deluxe slurper-style nail uses 4mm tubing for extra thick walls in a 100mm column fed by 3 slots at the base above the dish. The resulting function is my preference for globs. The walls insulate heat so well that I often still see vapor below 400°. That is to say, it stays hot! This doesn't bode well for small dabs, so I try to stay north of .1g dosage, otherwise it's a lot like taking a shot.

The combination of chamber size and intake are what I love most about this nail. It's low torque, so to get the intended function, I've gotta pull. With the cap, which tends to resist upward air flow into the neck and is far enough away from the base to avoid channeling, I have practically no ability to flood the neck. The height of the hot column is sufficient to catch whatever the pillar throws. Taken altogether... 🚀🚀

MARKET MEETUP

finally quenching the thirst we have for these assholes interacting properly with each other

wc: ~800

Stepping out into the busy London streets and locking his car, Butcher looked around him for a moment, before remembering the boy was not with him currently, and his tense shoulders drooped a little. Charlie had opted to stay home, letting him do the shopping on his own.

Deep breath in... And out. He pulled down his sunglasses to cover his eyes as he left the parked, pure black SUV, with windows tinted just dark enough where it could still pass as legal, while giving him the much desired privacy.

Stuffing his hands in his pockets, he blended right in, especially after having shed his vest and collar. And then he pulls out a pack of cigarettes - Marlboro, gold to be exact - and lights one. No kids around, so it's free game.

The mall is a bit of ways off, the other parking garages were full. He'd have to walk. Whatever, he thought, sounds like as good as time as any for a smoke.

After crossing several intersections, some legally, some not, the building comes into view.

Butcher stubs out the cigarette on the way inside, grabbing a trolley and getting a move on with it, after fishing out the grocery list written on scrap paper, which was shoved in his back pocket.

Veggies, rice, chicken, and eggs. Oh, and a little snack for the kid, even if he was too sheepish to ask for anything ever. Silently, he bagged the fresh vegetables and fruits, dropping them in the cart. Not a lot, but it'll last them a few days.

Despite his best efforts, the man did end up getting distracted, and wanted to stray away from, what would have been, tonight's dinner of rice, chicken and steamed greens. The sale sign just caught his eye.

Browsing the section for pasta, he reaches for the box of lasagna pasta, inspecting it thoroughly. It had been a while since he's had Italian grub, and he recalls a recipe Ivy shared with him a while back. Better late than never, he concluded, adding a few boxes to the cart, previous dinner plans be damned.

Momentarily, he considers putting back the vegetables, but ultimately changes his mind. They'll make a good salad. At least Charlie adores broccoli, Butcher mused, strolling to the sweets section, which is also his least favorite, by a long shot.

Standing there for a minute or two, deciding, Butcher finally selected regular sour gummy worms. He imagines the kid will like it. If not, it's at least cheap enough where he won't cry over the money he's wasting by throwing it away.

At the sound of a kid giggling, he looks its way, meeting the eyes of a little girl, and someone who is probably her father. Caretaker? Whatever. Not his damn business...

Until..

"Hey, do-" The man begins, looking hopeful for a moment. Quickly though, it was wiped from his eyes.

"No." He cuts the stranger off, not intimidated by their tall stature or the obvious scars. Butcher was already taking in weak spots in case of a brawl, which was unlikely, but that did not stop him form considering it.

"I'm busy." He almost growls out, as a warning. He's not in the mood to talk.

The stranger does not flinch, and the girl giggles when the man who's hand she's holding seethes quietly, instead trying to speak again "... I was going to ask if there were healthier... uh... candies here."

".... What?"

"Don't listen to him!" The girl yells, running forward to Butcher, who's already freezing in place. He looks at her in confusion as she continues to blabber on "Baba wants me to not have sugar! Don't tell him!" She basically begs, stunning the man further.

In seconds, the man had already scooped up his daughter, berating and scolding her in an unfamiliar tongue, shooting Butcher a glare, despite him not doing anything.

After the man sends one last glare Butcher's way, he decided he's had enough and heads to the cash register.

Unfortunately, so did the man and daughter combo. The little girl at least seemed to amuse the cashiers slightly, with her never ending questions and comments about everything.

Butcher accidentally catches the stranger's name from his drivers license stored in the wallet: Vikram. Doesn't sound local... But then again, neither is he. himself.

Well. At least Charlie seemed to enjoy the gummies he got for him. Maybe too much, with how the poor kid overate. Hes going back to the mall a few hours later: for medication now. He hadn't noticed the ibuprophen had ran out, and silently cursed himself for that.

And by some unlucky draw, the misery man is in the pharmacy with him. Just his luck. His daughter still staring at Butcher with big, curious eyes, as the guy, or as hr now knows him as, Vikram, argues with the poor nurse behind the counter.

Taking a deep breath, he steels his resolve, and dons his persona of anger. Anything to get people to stop staring, so if it works, it works.

Well. it works on everyone but kids, it seems. In fact, it only entices them further. Like little moths to an ugly, barely passable flame.

First impression of Imaginarium Theater

[This is just my personal opinion, you're allowed to disagree. Opinion will change as time goes on. This is only a first impression]

First of all, this is from the perspective of someone with a non meta focused, high investment but still relatively new player (3.0), I am ar 59, it is worth mentioning that this account can clear floor 12 but not full star, I didn't expect to full clear this mode this theatre rotation.

I was excited for this mode when it was announced, the element limits sounded interesting, the boons are neat, and one of the main selling point is the fact that you can borrow characters from friends.

When it came out, everyone is disappointed with the fact that we can only borrow 1 character, normally it should've been fine, disappointing? yes but ultimately fine, that was not the case when you get characters at random & can only use them twice. The energy system is too harsh, if they increase it from 2 to 3 it would be way better.

Team building really just consisted of throwing 4 non synergistic characters (if you get lucky maybe you get a support that synergize with your dps) onto the wall and hope it sticks. The premise of limiting you to 3 elements is good on paper but horrible when who is on your team is on the whim of rng. I understand that it's the gimmick of the game mode but it makes me wanna tear my hair out.

This is going to come down to matter of personal opinion but I do not like overload reactions, I do not have pyro or electro carries, my only saving grace is my Xiao & Alhaitham, this element combo is horrible for me. At least the supports are good.

Onto this rotation's roster, Clorinde, Arlecchino and Wanderer are nice dps. Thoma, Kuki & Faruzan (ripbozo if you don't have her c6) barely have synergy with the rest of the character. Sure, you can use Faruzan with Wanderer & Xiao if you brought him. Thoma is decent with Wriothesley & can somewhat work with Clorinde. You probably should hold off Kuki until you get Alhaitham. All of the supports (except for Kuki but her c2 is still too good) are constellation dependent, especially Faruzan, and I think they give you the c0 versions. While it looked decent, act 1 & 2 are extremely resource wasteful if you don't play your cards right. Baizhu can work for an aggravate team but that's just dendro being dendro. Sigewinne is there for emotional support (I'm sorry I gen couldn't think of a team where she is life changing)

The boons are kinda whatever, the buff is okay but insignificant, it doesn't change how you play the game the way hsr's simulated universe blessings do.

I only managed to get to act 7 on the hardest difficulty, with around 25% hp left on coppelia in act 8. I got all the stars except for of course act 8. It is what it is, this rotation is not for me. I'm not particularly upset about not being able to clear.

Overall I am disappointed with the execution, the whole buff working even outside of the game mode feels like a scummy way to get you to pull more, this unfortunate lineup did not help at all.

Will I still do it every time it resets regardless of how bad the lineup is just for primo? definitely. Is that the only reason I will play the mode? yeah probably.

I recall that it was supposed to be something like a fighting game about toys traveling around the world, representing different reasons why toy can be created. So this is kinda what Patie's gacha pull sprite is supposed to look like! Along with her information.

You have unlocked:

Patricia Slam!!

We can say that Patricia would be like a character you'd win in the beginning of the game, along with other 3 of them. Anyways, her info is below 👇

Information:

Patricia Slam is a porcelain headed doll who loves to steal jems and jewelry from anywhere she can find, using her acrobatic skills to distract people and SNATCH whatever caught her attention. So stay alert around her!

In Battle:

For being an acrobat, she twists and turns around, kicking and slamming the enemy with her hat. When she gets a full combo she throws a black rope from her bracelets and keeps the enemy trapped for a few seconds. Her ult attack is picking a bomb from under her hat and throwing it to the enemy, giving a good amount of damage. (All attacks have silly animation and sound effects btw lol)

Signature Pet:

Mammon: a very cheeky juggler monkey who hoards the stolen things he and Patie stole from people, just the perfect pairing.

Birthday: 21/07

In Brazil, it's the national Day of the gold miner/prospector; basically a day of people working with gold cause uh- yeah. She just loves gold!

Probable Voice lines:

- “Looking for me? I'm flattered!”

- “You want a show, huh? Let's see... what number would be enough to snatch from you...”

- “I like playing with danger, my head can break my head anytime but I do not caaarreeee~!”

Combo - “Enjoy your stay, silly!”

Ultimate - “I got a present for ya... ka-BOOM!! Hyehahahaha~!!”

Victory - “Ho ho ho~ Thank you, thank you my dear audience!”

Defeat - “Darn it... I guess I'll have to practice more...”

7 Effortless Outfit Ideas for Busy Women

In today’s fast-paced world, women juggle more than ever — work, family, social commitments, and self-care. With so much on your plate, figuring out what to wear every day shouldn't be another stressor. The key to a stylish and stress-free wardrobe? Effortless outfits that require little thought but still look polished and put together.

Whether you're heading to a meeting, grabbing coffee with friends, or running weekend errands, these 7 easy outfit ideas will have you looking chic in minutes. And the best part? These outfit formulas are versatile, timeless, and easy to recreate with pieces from brands that understand women’s needs — like those found at stylish boutiques such as Ceia Von & Fine.

1. The Power Matching Set

Matching sets are a game-changer. A two-piece outfit — like a co-ord top and wide-leg pants or a skirt set — offers instant style with zero guesswork. You don’t have to worry about pairing separates, and you can always mix and match later for variety.

Look for sets in solid colors or subtle prints that transition from desk to dinner effortlessly. Brands that cater to busy women often carry trendy yet timeless matching sets that do all the work for you.

2. The Go-To Midi Dress

There’s nothing easier than slipping into a midi dress. It’s one piece, yet it looks completely put-together. Choose soft fabrics that drape beautifully and add a belt or jacket if you want to dress it up.

Neutral shades or earthy tones are especially great for everyday wear — and feminine prints can help express your personality without being over the top. At some boutique fashion stores, you’ll find elevated midi dress designs that strike the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication.

3. Blazer + Jeans Combo

For a smart-casual look that never fails, pair your favorite jeans with a structured blazer. A crisp white tee underneath, some gold jewelry, and a sleek handbag will pull the look together in seconds.

This outfit is ideal for casual Fridays at the office, lunch dates, or video calls where you want to look polished on top but stay comfy below. Some fashion-forward platforms now offer tailored pieces for women that aren’t just workwear — they’re everyday wear elevated.

4. The Effortless Jumpsuit

A jumpsuit is the ultimate time-saver. It’s comfortable, stylish, and requires minimal accessorizing. Whether you choose a utility style, a flowy boho look, or something sleek and fitted, a good jumpsuit will never let you down.

Several modern fashion brands focus on one-and-done pieces like this — just throw on some earrings and sandals, and you’re ready to go. It’s the perfect wardrobe hero for the woman who wants to look put-together with zero effort.

5. Oversized Shirt + Leggings

On those ultra-busy days when comfort is non-negotiable, reach for an oversized button-down shirt and pair it with your favorite leggings. Add a belt or crossbody bag to define your waist, and finish the look with clean sneakers or loafers.

This outfit balances cozy and chic, giving off a relaxed yet intentional vibe. It’s a go-to for errands, school runs, or casual brunches — and it's easy to upgrade with the right accessories.

6. Knit Set or Sweater Dress

Cozy doesn’t have to mean sloppy. A knit set — think ribbed top with matching skirt or pants — is perfect for chilly mornings or casual workdays. Alternatively, a sweater dress can be dressed up with boots and a trench coat or down with sneakers.

Fashion boutiques like Ceia Von & Fine often carry luxe-looking knitwear that’s soft, flattering, and easy to style. These pieces not only feel good but also elevate your daily wardrobe without you even trying.

7. Statement Top + Trousers

If you love a minimal wardrobe but want to keep things interesting, invest in a few statement tops — ruffles, off-shoulder, bold prints, or unique textures — and pair them with classic high-waisted trousers.

It’s an easy formula: let your top do the talking while your pants anchor the look. A stylish fashion store that curates modern feminine pieces can help you build this combo without the hassle of trend-chasing.

Final Thoughts

Fashion shouldn’t be complicated — especially when life already is. These 7 effortless outfit ideas give you a foundation for looking stylish, feeling comfortable, and getting out the door quickly. Whether you’re a working professional, a busy mom, or somewhere in between, having a few go-to outfit formulas makes getting dressed feel empowering, not overwhelming.

For women who value both style and simplicity, boutiques like Ceia Von & Fine offer thoughtfully selected pieces that blend elegance with ease. Their collections are made to flatter, built for real life, and perfect for women who want to look good — even on their busiest days.

So next time you’re revamping your closet, consider investing in pieces that do more with less effort. You’ll be amazed at how a few quality staples can change the way you approach your wardrobe (and your day).

Representing Rhythm Heaven, Monkey Brings Down The Beat In Super Smash Brothers Ultimate

Introduction

Monkey would act as a representative for the Rhythm Heaven series, embodying the many monkeys seen throughout the series, with their moveset referencing the mini games featuring said monkeys, as well as several of the other rhythm games in the series’ history. The Monkey would be similar in size and weight to Pikachu, they would have a double jump but no other special movement options.

The 🅰️ Attacks

Jab: Monkey quickly punches forwards like Karate Joe, if turned into a combo, Monkey punches with their other hand and then kicks the opponent, like Karate Joe’s “punch kick” move in DS

Forward Tilt: Monkey stabs the opponent with the fork from Fork Lifter

Up Tilt: Monkey swiftly claps above their head, referencing both Clappy Trio and Fan Club

Down Tilt: Monkey slaps downwards like in Monkey Watch

Dash Attack: Monkey does a flip forward like in Animal Acrobat

Forward Smash: Monkey hits their opponent with a golf club, knocking them away. This move references Hole In One

Up Tilt: Monkey takes a deep breath before yelling, creating a damaging sound wave above them, referencing Chorus Kids

Down Tilt: Monkey stomps down on the ground, causing a turnip to pop out, damaging opponents hit by it. This move references Crop Stomper

Neutral Air: Monkey poses like a Stepswitcher from Lockstep, hitting both in front of and behind them, kicking their legs back and pumping their fist forward

Forward Air: Monkey turns around and scratches their back with their tail before turning around again, referencing Love Lizards

Up Air: Monkey sticks their hands above their head like when the monkeys jump up in Fan Club

Down Air: Monkey pumps their arms downwards, releasing a shockwave below them, referencing Rap Men

Back Throw: Monkey spins the opponent around until they’re facing the opposite direction they were facing, before head butting them away. This move references Board Meeting

The Special Attacks

Neutral Special: Monkey pulls out a katana and slices forward, knocking any opponents hit by it away, this attack gains damage and knockback for each consecutive hit landed. If Monkey hits their opponent four times in a row, then the fifth attack will become a multiple hit move, with Monkey slashing several times in a row before dealing massive knockback and doing an anime pose, the move is then restored to its base state. This move references the many Samurai Slice games seen throughout the series

Side Special: Monkey pulls out a bow and shoots a gravity affected arrow forward, this attack gains speed and range for each consecutive hit landed. If Monkey hits their opponent nine times in a row, then for the tenth attack Monkey will shoot a firework instead, which is not gravity affected and does heavy damage and knockback, the move is then restored to its base state. This move references Sneaky Spirits, Ninja, and Hanabi

Up Special: Monkey spawns a Trampoline below them that will stay on the stage for 10 seconds, this move sends the Monkey higher for each consecutive bounce. If Monkey lands on the trampoline three consecutive times, then on the fourth bounce they’ll grab a hold of a bunch of balloons lifting them upwards before popping and sending them into free fall, if an opponent collides with these balloons they’ll pop and knock the opponent away, sending both players into free fall, the move is then restored to its base state. This move references Tram to Poline and Nightwalk

Down Special: Monkey kicks a ball away from them, or below them if they’re in the air, with the ball either bouncing forward till it falls off the stage or hits a wall if done on the ground, or bouncing up or down for 5 seconds if it’s used in the air. The first time this move is used it sends out a soccer ball which bounces at a medium speed, dealing average damage and knockback to opponents who come in contact with it. The second time this move is used it sends out a basketball that quickly bounces and does light damage but decent knockback. The third time this move is used it sends out a football which bounces on an odd beat and does great damage and knockback to opponents hit by it. Once this move is used three times it resets to the soccer ball. This move references Double Date 

The Final Smash

The Mandrill jumps in front of the Monkey and tries to grab the opponent closest to the Monkey, if The Mandrill successfully grabs someone then the final smash properly begins. The camera cuts to the opponent stranded on the island from Hole In One, then zooms out to the island in front of it, the golfer from that mini game will begin setting down golf balls which the Monkey must hit on time to knock them into the opponent damaging them. The final smash concludes with The Mandrill throwing a ball towards the Monkey on an off beat, which if hit will do massive damage and knockback back to the opponent hit

Taunts and Other Animations

Up Taunt: Monkey pulls out a flip phone and holds it up to their ear, with players being able to hear a snippet of music from a random Rhythm Heaven song, before putting the phone away. This taunt references the many appearances of a phone toy in Rhythm Heaven

Victory 3: Monkey grabs a pillow, does a big stretch then sets the pillow down and goes to sleep, referencing Pajama Party
