#but tbh I don't know what I want to do with Normal costume-wise

Animated Dungeons and Daddies Superhero movie that doesn’t actually exist but I watched Spiderverse on new episode day and had a really vivid dream about it part 1, it’s Scary!

Backstory under the cut

Once upon a time, Theresa “Terry” Marlowe was just like all the other girls. She loved playing soccer and spending time with her best friend, her mom, more than anything else, but everything changed when her new stepdad-also named Terry (ugh!)-entered the picture. While the newly restructured Marlowe family were moving Terry Jr. into their house, Terry the teenager accidentally broke a fishing lure that her new stepdad really should have packed better if it was so fragile and important. Since this incident, Terry has had a whisper in her ear and a power at her fingertips she can use to shape her world however she wants to. Armed with a “friendly” new guide and an awesome new power, Terry Marlowe is dead, and two new persona rise from the ashes, by day, she’s Scary Marlowe, goth-punk seeker of darkness, and by night, she has some sort of superhero name that I haven’t chosen yet, goth-punk enactor of horrors... Or something like that.

"AITA FOR EDITING MY BOSS'S SUPERHERO SUIT HOLOGRAM INTO A BUNNY FIT MID FIGHT CAUSE HE DELETED MY SIMS CC FOLDER"

Idc if im the asshole tbh but I think this is funny. I (15F) am a hero intern for this fairly big company, think superhuman secret society typa shit.

The thing is because I'm more of a "in the chair" hero, I spend a fair amount of time in the Headquarter's lab. My work load swings between nothing to fucking do and non-stop crisis mode.

Somedays I literally can't afford to take normal breaks and go home This facility, despite all the money we get, is held together with a paperclip cyber-security wise (and security wise. there's one them that lowkey be stealing but i aint a snitch okay). We do have an AI program (she's great, love her) but she's hella overworked too and essentially babysits the boss in the field, in his personal life, etc.

So forgive me if during the brief moments of peace, I happen be playing the sims. I never use the work monitors for this and the AI is fully aware that this is how I take my "breaks" and is FINE with it.

But one day the boss randomly walked in while I was busy browsing some hair options and lost his shit. "Something, something, anomoly" I don't even remember what he said, all ik is he was growling n shit over my shoulder with his stank ass breath. I didn't even think he was mad at ME fr-- he's just unhealed like that, so i let that shit go this time.

i leave to grab lunch rq and come back. day goes by normally. but when i log back into MY PERSONAL COMPUTER, my shit was gone.

Obviously ik it was him. No one else cares enough to do anything like that. So i go confront him. And of course that villianous ass bitch is cracking a smile talking bout some "you can play dress up at home,". like NO???? SIR I NEVER GO HOOOMMME. IM HERE ALL THE TIME???

keep in mind i do NOT get paid for this. the most i get is experience and a therapy session on Wednesdays, thats it.

unhealthy yes, but he knows that i care about this work and he def knows my home life isn't the best anyways. so idk why he was being so petty about it.

but since we're being petty now of course i had to go lower.

he has this lil hologram suit. it's cute or whatever, super secure. but i just asked his AI for a favor and she let me go ham on the programing.

everytime the program detects his heartrate above a certain level, his costume will change. i have it cycling through a few options, but the bunny suit has been a fan favorite lately.

he's pretty pissed about it and ik he suspects me, but he doesn't want to admit that i somehow got into his superfancy tech and embaressed him. so its a lot of passive aggressiveness and for sulking now. everytime he changes it, i change it back and then some. it's fun.

it has also become a growing meme in the work gcs, tho some of the heros have tried to scold me about it. but tbh idc. none of the costumes impede his work, if anything the distraction helps him catch villians off guard. so pretty harmless, i could do worst. so im taking suggestions on how to keep ruining his day until i get bored of it (or till i get all my cc redownloaded).

update: thank you for all the outfit suggestions!! also to the grown men mad at me in my messages, check ur emails for something fun :)

i totes agree with your take about finn and ghostbusters, and i think it's because he's an adult. like, he was given free reign on IT to be himself and improv, but the whole characterisation was believable cos it was just kids in a smalltown? despite the killer clown lol. but in GB he's just finn in a GB costume, and i think HE felt that way too, so the immersion required as a self-aware adult to get into character was missing. this might not be his fault. idk... but i think the magic of early ST owes a lot to the lack of self-awareness of these kids who were having a blast. but now, cos of the way theyve aged, the issues are sort of the same (monster to fight etc), but the actors are now adults, so the question is: can they as performers emotionally connect with these characters in a way that makes fighting said monster believable?

this is also why i hope for a really deep psychological arc for mike in s5, cos it will give finn something meaty and grounding (like sadie had in s4) hidden in the subtext, instead of just fighting a big tentacle or something. s4 felt very performative and theatrical to me. 11's screaming and powers are getting tired too; only the helicopter scene gave me actual chills, and that was mainly down to shock + big budget effects cos it looked real. but her tricks are old. wanna be totally surprised in s5 tbh

Yes!! I think I actually need to sit down and watch the GB films beyond clips for an honest acting read but siiigh I'm just so resistant to a remake! I'm too much of an 80s diehard but for some real Finn analysis I feel like I gotta. Because what you said feels very accurate already. Finn in a costume. Where Mike was wearing a GB costume and it was a character moment haha. It's very interesting how goooood these kids were as actors and the thing is - child actors don't always grow up to be amazing adult actors (errrr, maybe not the best wording. Mind jumps to adult film 🤭🤭 anyway). Normal actors! The emotions and the humor were sooo so vulnerable and flowy when Finn was younger. I thought he was pretty good in season 4 but not as good as early seasons? The mike and will scenes were great - but honestly, they weren't as meaty acting-wise as earlier seasons (s2 in particular).

S5 is a make or break!!! S1-s4 was a story about childhood and growing up but s5 is a coming of age journey. Raw emotions. Vulnerability. Facing deep, self-reflection - I love the idea of very inward character moments in the face of an outward, dynamically changing world (the end of the world!) there are monsters to fight, but internal demons to confront. And beautiful things, too. Can these actors pull it off??? Will and mike are obviously my favorites and I honestly have no doubts that Noah can do it. Finn?? I really, really want him to do amaaaazing. Like I've said. The bits I've seen of him in other things haven't blown me away as much as young Mike and Richie have. Fingers crossed, he's still my fave regardless lol

In regards to his career in general - I'd love to see him leading or being top billed in a comedy where he doesn't play a teenager. Could be college! I know nostalgia films might be a type-cast at this point, be he's honestly the type of dude where it fits? He's an old soul. He's into retro stuff. Put him in a 70s era period piece about some young 20 somethings getting into raunchy hijinks. I would personally diiiiiie. Please kill me, Finn. Slay me with some flare jeans and crude humor and we're golden.
