I have a massive amount of questions and hopefully you can answer them all. I wont ask all at once but first question. Dick and Tarantula. I know kinda what happens but like... All the titans took her side? Who were the titans and how did they react?
Alright, always happy to help out. Feel free to fire away! To start...I believe you’re thinking about Mirage, not Tarantula. 
Everything with Tarantula occurred in Bludhaven when Dick wasn’t currently working with the Titans. Dick hasn’t ever talked about what happened with Tarantula to anyone, so it’s likely that the Titans have no idea that anything ever happened...the only people who would have an inkling of what went down would probably be Bruce (who after the fact yelled at Dick to stop being suicidal and never looked into the matter further) and Barbara (who broke up with Dick...after seeing Tarantula force herself on him and knee him in the groin...okay). Yeah that’s a whole other issue :/ 
But I’ll explain the situation with Mirage instead. To set the scene: Dick was on the “New Titans” team, which included: Starfire, Beastboy/Changeling, Red Star, Donna Troy, and Pantha. Mirage came from an evil alternate future timeline, and in that timeline she was romantically involved with a version of Dick Grayson, later known as “Deathwing.” Because of this, she is obsessed with Dick and is convinced that they belong together. She’s come back with the rest of the “Team Titans” to the past to kill Donna Troy in order to stop her son from ruling over the world as a dictator. For some reason, she accomplishes this plan...by kidnapping Starfire, replacing her, and tricking Dick into having sex. Yeah, the plot is convoluted as hell. No time to unpack all that! 
Tumblr media
Deathstroke (1991) #14
The team discovers that there is an imposter when Kory manages to break free of her imprisonment and escape. Dick realizes that he was manipulated into having sex with a stranger. Instead of Kory and Dick being able to talk about it alone, Pantha spills the beans in front of the whole team (sans Donna) and fuels the fire with several horrible, crude comments. 
Tumblr media
The New Titans (1988) #90
“Details! From ten to one--how did she score compared to this one?”
Though Mirage had them all fooled, Pantha says that, seeing as Dick slept with her, he definitely should have been able to realize that she was phony. No one on the team comes to Dick’s defense or tries to shift the blame from Dick’s shoulders. Kory’s a bit pissed as well. She’s had a pretty bad couple of days. She wants an explanation from Dick, but Pantha can’t freaking shut up for five seconds so that he can give her one. 
Also, note the comments about how Dick’s hair has changed? And about “Starfire’s” new costume? I’m going to quickly side track to explain just how terrible Mirage is. 
Tumblr media
The New Titans #88
So, while she was disguised as Kory, Mirage pushed Dick into changing his costume and cutting his hair into a mullet. Dick didn’t want to, especially because his discowing costume had huge sentimental value seeing as he’d modeled the look after his dead parent’s circus outfits, but “Kory” kept pestering him. He trusted his girlfriend, so Dick eventually agreed to follow what he thought was her lead. 
I can’t get over how horrible that is...that Dick’s rapist tried to own Dick’s body to the extent that manipulating him into having sex wasn’t enough, that she abused his trust to change his appearance to suit her needs too, specifically altering him in ways he wasn’t comfortable with. It’s disgusting, I don’t know why it’s so often glossed over, and it really gives a whole new reason to hate “Mulletwing.” And Nightwing’s not the only one whose bodily autonomy is completely thrown out the window.
Tumblr media
The New Titans #93
When Mirage was disguised as Kory, she went around and did a bunch of porno, nude photoshoots. I don’t think I have to explain how awful it is that Kory’s appearance was used like this without her consent, especially in such a public way (people were literally stopping her in the streets to talk about it and she was invited onto a news show). Kory is rightfully pissed. Mirage also changes Starfire’s costume as well, to have big cut-outs on the sides. 
Mirage is absolutely horrible. Cannot say that enough.  
Back on the plot: Dick and Kory still have a lot to talk out, but they are on a mission to save Donna, so both of them put their feelings aside for now to help their friend. Later, while Starfire is busy chasing Donna in space, Nightwing runs into Mirage, and she reveals that she was the imposter. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Team Titans #2
DICK YOU SLUT! So tell me, who was better? Huh? Huh? Huh? 
Mirage laughs about raping Nightwing with zero remorse. Pantha calls Dick a slut and once again asks who is better. Also like last time, the rest of the team (sans Donna) is standing right there...and doesn’t care or help him out at all. 
Dick is forced to put his feelings aside once again to deal with the threat to Earth. This means working with Mirage to the point where she is just...part of the team for some reason? My reaction is pretty in line with Kory’s here: 
Tumblr media
Despite Kory’s protest, Dick focuses on the mission, and says that they need the manpower and the knowledge of the future that the Team Titans (including Mirage) have in order to defeat Donna and her son (long story, just ignore the plot honestly). But really, they need Mirage...so that she can cause unnecessary, contrived drama between Dick and Kory. 
I’m just going to say it: Kory and Dick are both pretty wildly out of character. Putting aside how stupid and cliché this plot is in the first place, Dick lets Mirage get away with way too much crap, when he’s always been very up front about dealing with bullshit in the past. One of the absolute worst things about having Mirage stick around (and at one point literally go on vacation with the Titans) is how she just keeps acting like her and Dick are together. It’s gross and Dick needed and usually would have put his freaking foot down about it. They also have Kory flipping from acknowledging that Mirage tricked Dick and is at fault for what happened: 
Tumblr media
Team Titans #2
Tumblr media
The New Titans (1988) #90
To having her think that Dick genuinely...loved Mirage and would rather be with her? And blaming Dick for being tricked? Even though Dick and Kory are both victims here? 
Tumblr media
The New Titans (1988) #90
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The New Titans (1988) #97
Starfire has an incredibly high EQ. She and Dick have always been very communicative. To see her completely unwilling to hear him out (and blame him for being raped) is shocking. She acts like an immature teenager, changing her mind all the time and then storming off to go party with random guys in clubs for the next couple days. She has zero of her previously demonstrated emotional maturity and trust. Meanwhile, just as Dick loses his girlfriend, he also loses his apartment, and, to top it all off, Roy swings by to tell Dick that the government is going to shut down the Titans because of all the property damage that happened in their last fight. Nightwing literally can never catch a break. 
Tumblr media
The New Titans (1988) #99
Eventually, the two do make up...and Dick immediately proposes to Kory out of nowhere. She accepts, despite being pissed moments before. They have a wedding the next issue, but it is interrupted by villains from the alternate timeline, including an evil Raven and Deathwing. Afterwards, Dick and Kory’s relationship is never quite the same. 
Seeing Dick and Starfire’s relationship sour, when it was built up over so many years of comics (and with neither of them truly being at fault for the split), is freaking depressing. And Mirage never does get punished really...I’m pretty sure she’s even part of the honor guard that escorts Superman’s body to his tomb when he dies, which is dumb as hell. But that’s how it all went down. 
Just to clarify, since you specifically asked how the team reacted, I kept saying “(sans Donna)” because while most of this was going on Donna was a) giving birth or b) going crazy with power. Later, Donna is shown to know about what happened with Mirage, but she doesn’t really give it much thought. She does comment that Dick is acting strangely and she’s concerned about him, but she also doesn’t seem to connect the obvious dots that Dick is acting off...because he’s still shaken about being raped and tricked. Roy also appears later on to lead the Titans. Mirage is a member of that group, and Roy isn’t really shown to have any strong feelings about it. 
Honestly, I wouldn’t say that the Titans “took Mirage’s side” as you describe. Pretty sure none of them liked Mirage. But, they didn’t stand up for Dick, certainly. There was a lot of victim blaming. Dick’s rape wasn’t given the narrative weight that it deserved, probably due to the time period the comic was made. His teammates mostly didn’t care enough to take sides, used him being raped as a joke, or blamed him for being tricked. 
Tumblr media
The whole story arc is convoluted, the characterizations are terrible, and overall it just sucks that this was written.

what are your thoughts about idols venturing into dramas? and do you have someone in mind that you think did really well when they got casted? 😊
Oh wow anon, this is actually a pretty interesting question!
I would say first off that I don’t have a problem with it if they’ve put a lot of effort into preparing (ie. acting lessons, learning accents…etc) or if they just have a real knack for it. One thing I feel kind of bad about is when really skilled actors who have been acting for years still play supporting roles when an idol comes in as a lead straight away. I understand though since its all about profit and marketing, not about who the most talented ones are.
For idols I thought did a good job:
Park Jinyoung (Got7)- He is Psychometric
Tumblr media
I might be biased since im a fan (quite obvious lmao) but he did a fantastic job as Lee Ahn in a pretty demanding drama. He put a huge amount of effort into preparing for fight scenes and pictures of his script covered in annotations showed his dedication. In conclusion i miss Ahn and i hope to see Jinyoung on screen again, but not any time soon since my boy is super busy.
Im Siwan (ZE:A)- Hell is other People, Misaeng, The Merciless
Tumblr media
The first drama role i saw him in was Misaeng and he stole all our hearts, then he goes on to act in one of the most twisted dramas as the troubled Jongwoo. I’m also a huge fans of his movies, including The Attorney (which made me cry so much). This man is honestly a chameleon, there’s nothing he can’t do.
Lee Hyeri (Girls Day)- Reply 1988, Hyde Jekyll Me
Tumblr media
There was no way I wasn’t going to include the person who brought Deoksun to life. I didn’t enjoy Two Cops but that was mainly because of the whole sexual assault blackmailing thing that went on, but nothing about her acting. I’ve only seen her in bubbly roles so i’m interested to see if she could do dark roles.
Do Kyungsoo (EXO)- Hello Monster, Its Okay thats Love
Tumblr media
Probably the idol actor that comes to most minds simply because he is brilliant. He’s incredible at the darker roles and the way he expresses himself in dramatic scenes just has me speechless (we all know that one scene in IOTL).
Lee Junho (2pm)- Just Between Lovers, Confession, Chief Kim
Tumblr media
Like Siwan, Junho has been acting for a while and it really shows. He blew us all away as Kang Doo and he made everyone laugh their asses off with his chemistry with Namgoong Min in Chief Kim. I seriously cannot wait for his return to dramaland as i’m sure he’ll surprise us all once again.
Jung Eunji (Apink)- Reply 1997, Cheer Up
Tumblr media
From the few things i’ve seen her in, Eunji really does a great job in comedic roles. Although Reply 97 wasn’t my favourite of the series (nothing can beat ‘88) she certainly was a really fun lead. She did a horror movie this year but i’m a scaredy-cat so I won’t be watching that.
Bonus: Singer/actors that I don’t count as idols
IU- My Mister, Moon Lovers, Hotel Del Luna (Manweol i miss you)
Seo Inguk- Shopping King, Hello Monster, Reply 1997 (you know you’re good when people forget you’re even a singer- and a good one at that)
Uee (ex-After School)- Hogu’s Love, My Husband Oh Jakdoo (I don’t see Uee mentioned a lot but i actually enjoy her acting)
Lee Hongki (FT Island)- Hw*yugi, Modern Farmer (are FTisland idols? I don’t even know honestly)
Lee Joon (ex MBLAQ)- My Father is Strange, Gapdong (ok i only watched like 4 episodes but he was great)
Sorry anon, you didn’t ask for a list but I thought I’d make one anyways simply because i’m indecisive and can’t pick just one.

Though We Really Did Try to Make It
bc i watched the infinity war trailer and i was sad all day today
It wouldn’t be denied that hanging with the team again was...awkward. They knew how everything worked; the light jabs, tension-filled conversations, the awkward eye contact. But it had changed. The jabs bit into your skin like ice. The awkward eye contact was so much worse. Tension was there, the conversations weren’t. 
Tony was there because he needed to be. The world needed Iron Man. (Maybe for the last time.) But Peter Parker, that stupid kid, he refused to leave. He was like Steve, in that respect. Speaking of the man, he had grown a beard. It looked nice. Tony couldn’t look him in the eyes long enough to appreciate it. Every time he did he could hear the clang of metal on metal and his chest hurt for a moment. Tony could hear the whispered comments that were made about him. But it didn’t matter. He’d heard it all before. 
“Are you ready for this?” Steve asks as they’re preparing for fights. 
“Have you?” Tony asks. He doesn’t want to say it. That this? The strange purple man in the sky who has come down to destroy them all? That was what he was talking about. Another threat, another invasion, something they could never control. And Tony couldn’t have done better, could he? 
They fight with everything they’ve got. It’s clear that the other side has more fire power. Tony has to watch innocent humans die. Scream as they get shot. He fights harder. 
The sky is always different when you realize you might die. You feel as if every one might be your last. Tony likes looking up at the sky a lot. Except for now. It’s an angry haze of smoke, red, and orange. It’s fire. Tony wonders what Harley’s doing right now. Maybe trying to build his own armor. Maybe protecting his sister and evacuating. Where, Tony doesn’t know. Maybe after (if they ever do) they win, Tony will visit him. Ask him when he’s going to sign up for an internship because they’re “connected.” 
Thanos reaches Vision. Utterly destroys him. Tony screams, the same as Wanda. In that instance, they are connected. They both lose someone they cared about. 
Thor brings the Guardian of the Galaxy. Tony thinks it’s stupider than “Avengers” even if Gamora says it’s not. 
“Wait, you’re Tony Stark?” Peter Quill asks. “Dude! That is so awesome! I grew up reading about your inventions and stuff. Nothing like the ones over here though, they got you beat by light-years.” 
“You’ll have to show me when we get back,” Tony says. For now, he’s sticking to his own things that he can work on because he knows that they work. He knows what he’s doing there, at least. 
Tony fights like hell to make sure Spiderling stays out of trouble. Peter can’t die, he promised Aunt May he wouldn’t. Out of many promises, this is one that goes unbroken. Tony nearly dies trying to stop Peter from fighting six aliens at once. 
Thanos doesn’t care who gets in his way. Tony wonders which Avenger will be the first to go. He hopes he doesn’t have to find out. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll walk away scared but safe. The tides are turning in their favor. Thor brought a couple friends. The aliens are easy to kill, and they know Thanos thanks to Gamora and Nebula. 
Tony finds out which Avenger dies first. It’s himself.
 Peter stupidly tried to take on Thanos. He swung in, gave a snappy one-liner, and got choked at the throat. Tony’s head snaps back as he hears Peter’s garbled screaming. It tears at his heart. He briefly wonders if that’s how a father is supposed to feel when their kid is dying. 
“NO!” Tony yells. “Nope, you’re not dying today kid, you’re not, otherwise your hot aunt is going to kill me, and I’m not going down killed!” 
He does anyway. 
He gets Peter away, and Thanos crushes him. “You believe in what, power?” Thanos laughs. “You do not know true power, Iron Man. Your little suit won’t protect you from everyone.” And Iron Man’s suit dents, and Friday’s voice becomes slurred, and he drops Tony to the ground like a china doll. Tony certainly feels like one. 
It’s too late. He’s too crushed. He can barely talk. He looks up at Peter, who has tears in his eyes and garbled cries of “Mr. Stark, Mr. Stark, what about me? Aunt May is gonna kill you if you don’t show up to eat the terrible meatloaf, I can’t eat it anymore...” And Tony smiles because at least Peter still has hope. They need that. Especially now. 
“Tell Rhodey...tell him I won the bet of ‘93,” Tony says. “The one about the space thing.” Peter nods. Tony can feel death. It’s come to his doorstep before. It’s never made it past the welcome mat. “Peter?” 
He sniffles, crying. “Y-y-yeah?” 
That’s it. Tony doesn’t have any profound last words. (Even though he googled some iconic ones last week. Maybe just for this.) Peter cries, and it’s ugly. People do not look good crying. Steve stops for moments, remembering Iron Man and Tony Stark. Both were the same. 
Tony thinks he’s crossing over. Or whatever the hell happens after death. He’s in a bar. God, it sounds like a joke. So, Iron Man walks into a bar...
“You’re late,” comes a low voice. His head snaps over. There’s a skeleton. Dressed in an old Olympics sweatshirt from 1988 and had a glass of scotch next to her. Well, he assumed it was her based on the skeletal structure. He could be wrong. 
“I wasn’t aware deaths happened late,” Tony says. “You must be Death. Love the sweatshirt, it’s so out of character.” 
“Yes you can be late,” she answers. “And you are Anthony Edward Stark. Born May 29th. You were supposed to die years ago.” She doesn’t comment on the sweatshirt. 
“And?” 
“You failed.” Tony snorts. That basically described his whole life. “You are very interesting to me, Tony Stark.” 
“I’m sure there’s a fan club you could join,” he responds. If a skeleton could roll their eyes, she would. 
“I don’t like seeing you dead. You don’t deserve it.” Tony raises an eyebrow. “Thanos wishes to destroy your world for me. But I like humanity. You are not as set in your ways as others I have met. You change. And you, Anthony, are the best at that. Changing. Adapting. Evolving. You interest me. And I do not want your life wasted.” 
“Are you implying my life was a huge waste?” Tony asks. Death smiles. 
“No, but you never settled down. I imagine you never will. But it is time for you to fight and maybe afterwards, try. Use Thanos’ foolishness against him. I do not want to see you back here for a long time.” 
Tony wakes up with a choke. 
“Nobody kissed you,” comes the reply. Steve is next to him. He’s in a makeshift hospital bed. It’s very uncomfortable. “We thought you were dead.” 
“Guess I’m not,” Tony replies airily. “While I was away, what’d I miss?” Steve recounts that they lost more agents. Found out that Scarlet Witch, when angry, is very, very dangerous. “Could’ve told you that,” Tony mutters. “What about Rhodey?” Steve says that he’s been angry. 
Tony gets his suit up and running again. He has a plan. May not be the best one he’s ever had, but it’s not like it’ll ever measure up to the Great Pizza Plan of ‘88. Nothing ever really can. Rhodey says that Tony’s plan better not include skateboards. “Oh please, I have more class than that,” Tony says, facing the crowd of people before him. 
“Avengers, Assemble!” Tony says. Steve smiles at him. Peter looks up hopefully. 
They have a war to win.

Maria – A true story
The following is a true story. It happened way back in 1988 so the dialogue, although not word for word, is as good as I can remember. The events I will never forget. Maria Brown (not her real name) was the town bike. Everyone got to ride her. She was 32 years old when this all happened and even after having two kids she had a red hot figure. She looked a bit like a brunette Geena Davis with a touch of Greek thrown in. Although these events happened in ’88 I have chosen to write this as if it happened only recently. I simply find it easier. Remember this is a true, ridgy didge, fair dinkum story.
– – – – “Two beers thanks mate.” Nothing really beats a few beers with a mate down the pub when your wife and his girlfriend have gone OS for a few weeks. We were one week into our two week bachelor stint and tonight we wanted a decent feed and a few beers. As we sat and hooked into our tucker I saw Maria, a friend of a friend, come into the pub. I’d heard about Maria being a bit of a slapper who put it about quite freely so I watched her with interest for a while and pointed her out to Goodie, my mate.
Goodie is a bit of a bad man, who one night shagged two schoolgirls who had just finished high school while his girlfriend was asleep in bed, but that’s another story. Therefore I wasn’t surprised that he gave her more than the once over. She was in the public bar area having a chat with a few friends and when we finished dinner we wandered over.
“Hello Maria” I said “How’s things?”
Maria looked very nice tonight. She was wearing jeans and a nice black halter top that revealed her smallish tits quite nicely.
“Hello.” she said. “Mark isn’t it.”
“Yep and this is Andy or as we know him Goodie.”
“Good at everything I hope.” she said flirting with him immediately.
“I specialise in a few things.” He said with a wink. They were hitting it off very easily.
The night went on and we just sat and chatted and sank more piss. When Goodie went to the loo Maria asked me a simple question.
“Does Goodie have a girl?”
“Um yeah but she’s in Bali with my wife.”
“So you’re both off the hook tonight then?”
“Um well yes we are.”
“So tell me Mark what is your biggest fantasy?” I know I was pissed and heard what I heard but I just had to hear it again. “Pardon?”
She laughed and whispered. “Your biggest sexual fantasy. What is it.”
In this delay I had the time to think.”To be met by a woman who is wearing nothing more than a long black coat, fishnets and suspenders. And she is gagging for it.”
“Wow!” she said “I have all those things at home.”
“Yeah bullshit” I said truly believing she was full of shit. “And what’s yours?”
“Oh I have too many to tell you about here.” At this stage Goodie was back with more beers and some Tequila.
“Tell us what?” he said hearing the last part of the conversation.
“Maria wants to know our fantasies.”
“I have too many.” she said again.
“I want to do it with two Japanese schoolgirls.” he said laughing.
“Well a threesome is only one of mine.” Maria said and as she did so she pushed her legs apart and rubbed her knees up against ours. I still didn’t think that this was anything greater than some harmless flirting. Goodie however caught onto what was happening. I was a bit slow in this area. Maria downed her Tequila and excused herself for a walk to the powder room.
“Well what do you reckon?” Goodie said.
“What do I reckon about what?” I said.
“Should we take her back to my place?”
“I’m not touching her mate.” I said “The missus would kill me if she found out.”
“She won’t find out.”
“She probably has some horrible diseases.”
“I’ve got boxes of frangers at my place.”
“Fucking hell Goodie.” I said. “You are an evil bastard. OK we’ll see what happens but she’s all yours.”
Maria came back with freshly applied lipstick and a flushed appearance.
“Would you like to come back to my place for a bit of a smoke?” Goodie asked. “I haven’t had any weed for months.” Maria said.
“I have some nice gear at home.” he said.
“It’s a good thing the kids are being looked after by their dads.” she said. “Let’s go then.”
It was nearly closing time anyway so we downed our drinks and as pissed as newts we hopped into Goodies old Falcon ute and took the backroad to his house. Goodie lived in a huge 4 bedroom home that was completely empty except for a crappy lounge, his stereo, a TV, his and his girls bed and a foam mattress in one of the bedrooms for the occasional drunken guest. We marched in and I grabbed a few more drinks from the fridge while Goodie got his bong out and packed a few cones. Maria had put on some music and was doing a slow dance in the lounge when I came in with the drinks.
“Here’s to life” she said as he sucked down a full cone in one pull.
“Fuck.” I said watching her down the smoking pile of weed.
Goodie was up for the challenge and he tried unsuccessfully to down it in one go. I took my time with mine because I was farly pissed already. By the time I had finished mine Maria was looking fairly wasted and she stood up to dance some more.
“I have to keep moving.” she said. She started doing some sexy dancing and rubbing herself all over as she did. Goodie and I just sat on the lounge watching our private show.
“Give us a striptease.” Goodie said.
“Only if it will be worth my while at the end.” she said.
I knew what she meant. I may be slow but I’m not that slow. Besides I had a stiffy already and looking over at Goodie so did he. All concerns about infidelity had been washed away by the booze and smoke. I was still worried about catching something nasty so I went into Goodies room and grabbed the box of frangers from next to his bed.
“Two secs.” I said as I went into his room.
AIDS was at this time the big news in STD’s and I was worried that someone like Maria was a potential threat. Maria was still dancing when I came out and when I walked past she moved over to me and started doing some dirty dancing. She squatted down in front of me and at one stage rubbed my cock through my jeans. I started dancing with her and when I threw the box of condoms on the lounge she almost melted with excitement. Goodie stood up as well and came over to us and grabbed her by the hips and rubbed his crotch up against her arse. She reached over to me and I moved over and began rubbing my cock against her groin. Her nipples were huge so I rubbed my hands up her side and grabbed a handfull of her 36C boobs. She began grabbing at my zip and slipped her tongue into my mouth while she fumbled at my jeans.
Goodie grabbed her halter top and slipped it over her head and her great tits fell out. Goodie grabbed them from behind and Maria used both hands to open my jeans and when she reached inside my underpants and pulled my cock out I nearly exploded. I had never been with a woman as horny as Maria was. She bent over from the waist and slipped my rock hard cock into her mouth Goodie saw this and immediately dropped his daks and began pulling on his cock. He moved around next to me and shoved his cock into her face. Maria dropped to her knees and with the glazed look of a stoned slut she muttered. ” Two cocks, I’ve always wanted two cocks.”
She swapped from mine to Goodies cock for what seemed like an age and all the time she still had her jeans on.
“Lets fuck her.” Goodie said breaking the stoned silence. Maria stood up and undid her jeans and I could see the patch of moisture on her panties when she threw them on the floor. She rubbed her pussy and walked over to the lounge and sat down and spread her legs wide showing us her puffed labia and juicy pussy.
“Lick my cunt.” she said to Goodie. “Let’s see how good you are.”
I took the rest of my gear off and stood on the lounge and fed her my cock. She sucked it down like the true sex maniac she was. I could feel my orgasm coming and as she tugged on my cock Goodie began licking at her clit and she came like a demon. Her language was truly offensive.
“Yeah lick my cunt, you fuck, fuck it with your big cock, you dirty cunt.”
When she looked up at me and said “You can fuck my arse you cunting fucker.” I lost it. I was ready just to blow all over her face but she kept me in her mouth and I unloaded the biggest load I’d ever had. There was so much she nearly gagged and had to let some run out of her mouth. She did scoop it back into her mouth though. Goodie reached over and grabbed a condom and slipped it over his cock. He pushed her knees back near her ears and plunged his cock into her pussy. She nearly fainted and her eyes rolled back into her head. The slopping sound from her pussy was unbelievable. She reached over to my cock after she came out of her second orgasm and it was all ready to go again. She pushed Goodie away and stood up and threw me a condom.
“Put that on.” She said.
As I put it on she grabbed Goodies cock. and said. “You are going to fuck my arse you fucking cunt.” With that she moved over to me and grabbing my cock she knelt on the lounge and slipped my cock into her pussy. I grabbed her delicious tits and then felt Goodie move into position and then felt Maria tense up as Goodie slid into her arse. She rested her head on my shoulder as she came again and I could feel Goodies cock pumping away through the thin membrane between both holes. I could tell by Goodies movements that he was about to come and sure enough he slapped her on the arse and filled his condom full of cum. Maria was still in a trance like state and when Goodie pulled out she just kept humping my cock. Goodie fell back onto the lounge and pulled the condom off. Maria saw this and swung around taking his cock into her mouth. She worked her magic on him and once again he was hard and ready to go. “Time for some more pussy.” He said. Maria slipped off my cock and got down on all fours on the floor presenting us with her gaping pussy and just fucked arse. Goodie knelt behind her and pulled a condom on and slipped into her pussy. I just sat back pulling my cock as he went to work on her. After a while he flipped her over and began the missionary position. She was still in a trance and I got down and leaning over her rubbed my cock over her mouth. She sparked up and began sucking me down her throat and began rubbing my balls. It didn’t take long and I came again. This time I was in control and I aimed it all over her face spraying her with my jizz. Soon after Goodie came as well and this time he pulled his condom off and shot his load all over her belly. After this we were pretty much rooted and I wanted to sleep so badly. I went and had a piss and went back into the lounge room but they had crashed out on the lounge so I went into the spare room and fell in an exhausted stoned heap on the mattress.
The next morning I awoke with a blinding headache and the sight of Maria at the end of the mattress kicking my feet.
“Wake up.” she said. “I need to get home.”
“OK.” I said reliving the previous night in my head.
I grabbed my clobber and got dressed and saw that Goodie was still asleep in his own bed. I took his keys and drove his ute to Maria’s house. It was only 7.30am and I was fucked. Maria thanked me for the night and gave me a big tongue kiss and a grab on the crotch before she went inside. Half way to her gate she turned around and came back to the car.
“You live in that old house near the tennis courts don’t you?”
“Um yes.” I said.
“When is your wife back?”
“Next weekend.”
She smiled and with a wink said “Good, very good.” – – – If you want to hear about what happens on the next night I would appreciate some written responses to this story. The next night was even more erotic and downright pornographic than this night and it is all true. The big surprise is what became of Maria in the years to come.

Goosebumps Season 1 Episode 3: The Cuckooclock of Doom!
WARNING: TODAY’S EPISODE CONTAINS A MONSTER WE ALL FEAR: EXISTENTIAL DREAD AND THE FLEETING SANDS OF TIME!
Tumblr media

This is Michael. As with Kat Merton in the previous episode, we don’t get to learn any personal details about Michael, except that he has a younger sister named Tara, who absolutely loves to torture him. We see this immediately, as the show begins with eerie music playing over a scene involving Michael investigating a creepy noise from the bushes. As Scream hasn’t been released yet, Michael doesn’t know that you should absolutely never investigate a strange noise when you’re in a horror setting. That’s where the monsters always are!
Tumblr media
Source: http://goosebumps.wikia.com/wiki/Tara_Webster            
Ladies and gentlemen, our monster for the episode.
Tara is genuinely awful, and not in that kid-sibling-is-annoying-and-won’t-stop-bothering-their-older-brother way. I have a younger brother—hell, I am a middle child, so I was also an annoying younger brother. I also know people with younger siblings. Younger siblings can be pains in the butt, sure. But Tara is genuinely evil. She goes out of her way to make Michael look like a jackass, just for the hell of it. Michael refers to her as Tara the Terrible—which, while it is by no means original, is an incredibly apt nickname.
I mean, alright; realistically all she does is pour ketchup on the dude, call him a krej—which is Jerk backwards, get it?—and she trips him at both of his twelfth birthday parties. But something is off about Tara. Look at those cold, unforgiving eyes. She is looking down at her older brother—and by extension, us all in the audience—with the utmost disgust. The innocent little girl look is merely a façade. Behind those brown eyes is a creature far more fearsome than Slappy; truly more menacing than the Horrors at Horror Land. The only reason the Goosebumps movie wasn’t as big a success as it could have been, is that Tara was never the big bad.
Seriously. The moment Tara appears on screen I felt an immediate dislike—and that’s something I’ve felt toward only one other character in a movie
Tumblr media

So, we get a flashback to three days earlier—Michael’s twelfth birthday party. All of his friends are there, including his love interest. I don’t recall her name, and I’m not gonna bother looking it up, because she is only there so that Tara can have a way to humiliate Michael.
The girl gifts Michael a CD, which Michael says he likes. But just like the monster she is, Tara calls Michael out on it, saying that he thought it was lame and threw out the CD the first time, but because he likes the girl he is willing to pretend to like this new gift. Michael’s mother calls him in to bring in the cake, which is odd to me. For every birthday my family has ever had for everyone, not once have we ever had to bring in our own birthday cake. I mean, damn, they didn’t even put candles on the thing. It’s just a cake that presumably lacks even Happy Birthday written in icing. 
Tumblr media

So, Michel comes in from the kitchen, holding his own nameless birthday cake in defeat, when Satan herself pulls a hilarious move and trips him. Michael falls head first into his own cake while his asshole friends all laugh at his misfortune.
We’re brought back to the present, when some moving men bring in a strange object concealed by tarp. Seems like Michael’s dad has purchased an antique cuckoo clock from a man named Anthony—who we later learn owns a store. In a scene that I think is mostly ripped off of A Christmas Story, we see that this is no ordinary cuckoo clock
Tumblr media
Source: http://goosebumps.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cuckoo_Clock_of_Doom/TV_episode    
Seriously. The mom looks at the thing with a mixture of confusion and dislike. The dad is all proud of the thing. The kid’s are immediately enthralled by it. There’s even a fucking lamp right next to it. Homage, or blatant rip off?—Says the man who has copy-pasted images from other sites and blogs onto Tumblr.
We learn that this is a magical clock—because that’s what Michael’s dad tells us. In what is the laziest and vaguest “legend” ever, we learn that “a strange old man built the clock over a hundred years ago, and he put a magical spell on it. But they say that whoever discovers the magic must beware.”
That is barely even a legend, sir. Just because it was built over a hundred years ago and believed to be magic, doesn’t mean the thing itself is, in fact, magic. I could show a twelve-year-old a pay phone today and say, “About a hundred years ago, people used to make magical calls for just 25 cents per minute,” but that doesn’t make it a legend. Who was this man? Was he evil, like that guy whose coffin was eventually used to make the Slappy Doll? Other than being made by an old man from a hundred years ago, what about the clock is magic? Sounds like he was just an old clockmaker from 1895—which, spoiler alert, was not a super magical time in history. But I guess a hundred years is a long time to a twelve-year-old.
But that’s not all that’s vague about this legendary cuckoo clock. Michael’s dad says that the shop owner, Anthony, told him that “there was something wrong with the clock, but he wouldn’t tell [Michael’s dad] what it is.”
That sounds like an awful way to sell somebody something. I mean, I’m no business man, but telling a customer “hey, the thing I am selling you doesn’t work 100% the way it should,” sounds like you’re just asking for the customer to start haggling over the price. I mean, I’m not crazy, right? Was Michael’s dad so genuinely impressed by the fact that it was supposedly a hundred-year-old, magical clock that he was willing to shrug off the store owner’s own admission that his product is shit?
Anyway, Michael’s father is super strict about the clock, forbidding both kids from going near it. Later, while getting a glass of milk or something, Michael overhears his sister getting scolded for touching the clock, and he gets the idea to frame Tara, to get back at her for the birthday incident.
Well, Michael sneaks out of bed, and snaps the neck of the cuckoo bird inside the clock. The next morning, Michael wakes up to find that he has time travelled back to his twelfth birthday—just three days ago.
Tumblr media
Source: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/GroundhogDay    
The second movie this show/book rips off is Groundhog Day.
So, Michael relives his twelfth birthday party, almost verbatim. He is visibly shaken by the fact that he has travelled back through time but tries to prevent his ultimate humiliation. Unfortunately, Tara is basically Hitler and manages to trip Michael again. 
Tumblr media
Source: http://goosebumps.tumblr.com/post/132563277792/goosebumps-rewatch-s01e03-the-cuckoo-clock-of        
This book brings up some pretty heavy topics. Are we all doomed to repeat our most humiliating mistakes, even when we are capable of literal time travel? Will Michael spend the rest of his life trying to break out of this Phil Connors loop, only to be tripped, yet again, and taste a mixture of blue frosting and his own tears? This is truly the most frightening Goosebumps story of all.
Michael tries to explain to his parents of his situation, but they understandably think he’s just ill. The next morning, he wakes up as a six-year-old and rips off a third movie:
Tumblr media
Source: http://stine.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cuckoo_Clock_of_Doom_(TV_Episode)  
It’s not Christmas yet, Goosebumps! Stop trying to tell me it’s winter time!
So, Michael tries explaining his situation to his parents, but notices that there is no Tara. This is, in my opinion, only a good thing. Michael’s parent just assume that he has an imaginary friend. 
Tumblr media
Source: http://goosebumps.wikia.com/wiki/My_Best_Friend_Is_Invisible/TV_episode
Silly parents. That’s not for another two seasons.
Michael reasons that the cuckoo clock is behind everything. He goes down to see the clock but remembers that his dad won’t purchase the magical hundred year old clock for another six years. Well, as luck will have it, Michael is celebrating his sixth birthday today. While everyone is celebrating, Michael sneaks away to find Anthony’s antique shop.
There’s this super weird moment where real scary things nearly creep into Goosebumps, when an older gentleman calls Michael over—presumably just for a pleasant chat—but Michael’s dad finds him just in time.
Later that night, Michael tries Phil Connor’s plan of staying up passed midnight to break out of the time loop. Apparently, Michael fell asleep before watching the rest of Groundhog Day, however, because we all know that that doesn’t work. No big deal, because Michael, already suspecting that he won’t be alive the next day, has resigned himself to his fate of simply fading from existence.
The episode ends fading to black, as Michael regressed into sperm, thus ending his hellish existence.            
Source: http://goosebumps.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cookooclock_09_one_again.jpg  
Tumblr media
Just kidding. He wakes up as a baby and has shit himself. No, really.
Anyhow, Michael’s parents take him to Anthony’s antiques, where he finds the cuckoo clock. He walks over to it, the cuckoo pops out, something bumps up against the base of the clock that knocks off the number 88, Michael fixes the cuckoos twisted head so that it’s facing the right way, and he is literally thrust into the future.
Ecstatic to be twelve again, and out of the time loop, Michael discovers that the world is not the way he has left it.

 The Shyamalan Twist:
So, it turns out that the number 88 that was knocked off was the year Tara was born—1988. This means that, for some reason, Tara was never born. Which is the happiest ending in a Goosebumps episode thus far.
Michael says that he’ll go back and fix it one day. But let’s be honest, Tara will never be born and Michael will have her blood on is hands forever.
Tumblr media
Source: http://goosebumps.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Webster
I’m sure he’s really broken up about it.
Thoughts on the Twist:
I remember when I first saw this episode as a youngster. I was genuinely unsettled by the fact that Tara just gets erased from existence, and it’s left in the air whether Michael will go back and save her. As an adult I’m more sensible and know that the world is a whole lot better off without the little demon.
But here’s something I can’t stop thinking about. In the beginning of the episode—i.e. with Tara—Michael’s parents are really stern. The dad won’t let his kids go near a clock. Like, give it a day or two, they’ll stop being interested. Michael’s mom doesn’t seem to be the happiest person either.
Then we see Michael’s parents when he’s six—i.e. without Tara. They’re happier, they joke around with him. When Michael is a baby, they’re nearly unrecognizable. I wasn’t kidding, they were literally happier when Tara wasn’t around.
My theory: Tara was so freaking scary that the only reason the parents let her get away with tormenting her brother is because they’re afraid she’d turn on them. The constant stress of trying to appease the beast drains them every day. It’s no wonder they’re so cranky all the time.
Ah, you say. But what about when Tara is scolded for touching the clock? If he’s so scared, why’d he do that?
To which I respond with this: Michael is creeping down the stairs to frame Tara, and he steps on Tara’s doll, placed meticulously on the step. I think she left it there to either murder her father. That, or she was trying to kill Michael.
Tumblr media
Source: http://goosebumps.wikia.com/wiki/Tara_Webster            
Even people on the internet—the most sensible and logical of folk—are ready to write Tara off as a sociopath.
Most Existential Line:
When six-year-old Michael says, “Today I’m six tomorrow I might be nothing.”
Best Time-Related Pun:
When the creepy stranger says, “Hey kid, got the time?” Geddit, because time?
Worst Tara Moment:
When Michael is creeping down the stairs, he steps on Tara’s doll. It’s supposed to be a jump scare, but I think that it’s actually a murder attempt. Why else would she have placed it so strategically?
Final Thoughts:
The episode focuses more on establishing mood than anything. There isn’t any narration, which automatically puts it over the previous two episodes. The first scene we get Michael is unsettled by something, and the music makes sure we know it. There are some not-scary jump scares, and a dream sequence that involves Michael running away from the cuckoo clock with Tara’s face on it, but all of that is silly.
The scariest part of the show—aside from Tara—comes from the dread Michael feels when he starts travelling back in time against his will. I remember it being done better in the book—I recall Michael breaking down in tears early on, when his family is teasing him about his claims of being caught in a time warp—but it’s still genuinely creepy. Have you ever tried to let someone close to you know that something was making you uncomfortable, but they’re ready to write it off as you just being silly? That’s pretty relatable. Michael is also powerless to stop it for most of the episode. Near the end he just sort of gives up, fully expecting to be dead the next morning.
The actor playing Michael is pretty decent, all things considered. The parents are rather good at playing both stern discipline and happy new parents. Tara is awful, but the girl playing her is only like, six. On the flip side, you could say she did a great job by making her character’s awfulness so believable. Michael’s friends are also there and are the weakest performances in the film.
I liked it way more than The Girl Who Cried Monster, and only slightly more than It Came from Beneath the Sink, since the monster in this one was scarier, and the episode has a happy ending.

PLOT
There are places in this world that aren’t right; where the grass doesn’t grow, yellowed and dead where dogs bark and whine all day long, howling through the night; where time doesn’t move like it should, slowing to a near-halt; where people disappear, where people die. There are places in the world that aren’t right. Those are the places people leave behind when they can, and rot away in when they can’t.
Dogpatch is one of those places.
People leave Dogpatch — but they don’t just leave, they escape. They sprint away, because Dogpatch claws you back with its tendrils, and if you don’t slip away while it’s not watching, you’ll never leave. And when people leave Dogpatch, they forget. It’s a nowhere-place; it doesn’t exist until you’re in town limits, and when you’re there, it swallows you whole.
Nothing in Dogpatch is as it should be, least of all time. The way it moves is broken, like a tape melting in the cassette deck — slowly, stuttering, volume dipping in and out. Moments repeat themselves, coughing for attention, choking when things aren’t as they should be, dragging until moments seem to last forever; summers seem to lasts for months, winters for years. The world it exists in is slowly unravelling. It’s like time itself knows the town is rotting.
There’s something terrifying about a young person dying. A twenty year old kid, dead and gone — something about it is just so wrong. When you’re young, you’re supposed to be invincible, right? You’re meant to be safe from all the harms of the world. You’re supposed to be able to throw yourself through hell, work shitty jobs and party all night and do absolutely nothing with yourself — while still making it out just fine on the other end of it. When you’re twenty, you’re not supposed to die. You’re supposed to live forever. And if you do die, you’re supposed to die with a bang, right? Fiery car crash supernova, glamourous drug overdose, some grand tragedy — you’re not supposed to fade out. That only happens to the old, the very old. They fade out of existence. They wither away, washed out and forgettable, a shell of their bright-burning youth, just a memory. They’re supposed to die like that. Not a kid — that’s not how young people are supposed to die. The scariest part, maybe, is that when you’re twenty, who’s going to remember you? You aren’t married. You don’t have kids. You have parents, and maybe they outlived you, but they’ll die soon enough. Your siblings will move on with families of their own. Your friends will forget — your twenties are such an inferno, who can blame them for letting the light extinguish you from view? When you die in your twenties, there’s nothing left of you. No stories, no things, no kin — it’s just you and your gravestone. You’re gone, and soon enough, your name is just one of the hundreds carved in granite, laid in the ground. You’re not even a memory. That’s what you think is the scariest part, because — you never remembered him, did you?
You left him behind in Dogpatch. When you left that town — when you fled that town, you left everything in your dust, and slowly, it all faded from memory, writing itself out of your history.
You were from a small town in Ontario. You had some good friends, but you didn’t talk to them anymore. You knew something terrible happened there, gnawing at your stomach, festering like a wound. Something terrible, something shattering, something… unresolved.
But you don’t know what it was. You don’t remember, and you don’t think about it unless a reminder is thrown in your face.
Thirty years after you left, you were forced to remember.
You got a phone call, one clear night in June, and the voice on the other end said two words: “Elijah Woodward.” And there was Dogpatch, trying to swallow you whole.
You remember him. You remember him, every terrible part of what happened to him, and you are flooded with shame for forgetting. Elijah Woodward was your friend, and he disappeared.
It was the summer of 1988, and you knew it was the last summer you were coming home. Dogpatch clawed you back, year after year, but in your bones, you knew it was finally time you’d shake it off — if you left after this summer, you were leaving forever, and you were leaving everyone you loved in Dogpatch behind.
You knew this. You all knew this, and that’s why you came back that summer, for one last hurrah — you and your high school buddies, your best friends in the world, re-uniting one last time before leaving one another forever. It would be the end, but it would be a glorious one. The only good thing about Dogpatch, after all, were the summers. They stretched on forever, languid and sweet, caramel-coated days that lasted from four in the morning until ten at night. It would be the best summer, and it would be the last one, and you had made your peace with that.
You never got that summer.
The first night you were all home, you were supposed to meet up in the Backwoods — a clearing, deep into the brush behind the elementary school, where outcasts like you had found their respite through your school years. Twelve of you were there, missing the thirteenth — Elijah wasn’t there. You wait for hours, until the bright-blue sky turned Starburst red-yellow-orange and faded into darkness, until you smoked all the cigarettes in the pack you had on hand, lighting up and butting out to try and quash the mounting anxiety from being back in Dogpatch at all, until the two-fer of beer you’d brought to share was drunk and you were a little too tipsy and a little too mad to wonder why Elijah hadn’t shown.
He hadn’t been far. You just weren’t looking.
You spent the rest of the summer trying to hunt him down. He had disappeared without a trace, slipped off the world while his parents were out picking up groceries. His suitcase was half-unpacked from the trip back from school, his shoes by the door — at first, the cops said he’d run away, headed back to the city, probably (people left Dogpatch all the time, sometimes in a careful unsnarling, sometimes in a sprint), but his wallet on his bedside table and splatter of fresh blood on the carpet was an uncomfortable suggestion otherwise.
Elijah Woodward disappeared that summer, and you never got the goodbye you were looking for. You separated at the end of that summer without fanfare. You met in the brush one last time before it was time to go, and swore, pocketknife scraping across your palms, that if Elijah was found, if he needed you again, you would come back to this terrible place. You thought you were too old for blood-oaths, but some uncomfortable part of you knew that if it wasn’t for the blood dripping onto the dying leaves at the end of that summer, you wouldn’t come back for anyone at all.
If you could, you left Dogpatch behind. If you couldn’t, you were trapped.
Elijah Woodward had been swallowed whole.
The line stays silent for several moments, a minute stretching on two before the voice on the other end speaks. “From school – Elijah Woodward, do you remember him? He went missing in ‘88, he was a classmate of ours.” Unspoken: he was our friend. “They – they finally found the body.”
The voice on the other end paused again. You stared at your hand, and a clean, raised scar appeared, shiny and white. It wasn’t there yesterday, or the day before, but the scar must’ve been thirty years old.
“It wasn’t all they found, I – I think it’s time. To come back to Dogpatch.”
And, inexplicably, you came back. You took a three days off work, booked a train ticket, a room in the one motel in town, and you came rushing back. Dogpatch drew you back in.
And, at nearly fifty years old, you gathered once more in the Backwoods, feet tangled in the brush. Time worked different in Dogpatch, and the warm summer sun hadn’t changed a bit. The sky had started to darken, by the time you’d all made it back, golden hues dripping over like caramel. Your hand shook as you pulled a cigarette — your first in years — to your lips. You’d seen the crime scene tape, a bright angry yellow, pulled against the brush trees not far from where you stood.
The bushes rustled, and the last of you stepped into the clear. The same nervous voice on the telephone, the one that dragged you back.
“I’m sure you saw on the news, but in case you didn’t, the reason I wanted… all of you to come back. When they found Elijah, they found another body. Another one of us. It was – gruesome. A murder. Fresh. There was something wrong in Dogpatch all those years ago, and there’s something wrong again. Something rotten.”
Time didn’t work right in Dogpatch. It was languid, a lazy kind of current that dragged on forever, but sometimes, it skipped. You’d all felt it, but when moments repeat themselves, you don’t put too much stock into it. Things in this town have never been right, least of all that.
All at once, time skipped, and you were –
You were thrown.
You were thrown
Back.
Back to 1988. Back to teased hair and sleeveless jean jackets and The Wonder Years and Sweet Child o’ Mine. Back to that night in the Backwoods, when Elijah didn’t show up.
Back to when you were all still together.
Back before you forgot.
Time skipped in Dogpatch before, but it had never rewound like this. The ultimate throwback — and why? Why were you given another chance, having seen the tape written before you?
You’ve been thrust back into a world you left behind, not knowing how, or why — but maybe, just maybe, you think you know. It has to do with Elijah. It has to do with who killed Elijah, and who would kill again — and it had to be one of you.
