#giant rainbow slinkies

[drfrankensteinvsthequeerborgs]

@prvtocol​ replied to your post: neon dinosaur-shaped eraser pencil topper

@malwarfare​ :  Rainbow giant slinky

VERY ACCURATE

Vale is both of these things yes. Vale also has these in their apartment as well!

[my-gf-is-kazuichi-soda]

Probably one of the most adhd stories about myself is that when I was like 10 I had a giant rainbow slinky that I loved, and I discovered that it made a cool noise when you swing it really fast, and so I went outside and spun around with it as fast as I could to make the noise go whirrrrrr until it snapped and like a third of the slinky broke off and went flying 😭 I was devastated, I got the piece that went flying but it was never the same and I was so worried it would break some more if I spun it again, and that's how I broke my giant rainbow slinky

Oh yeah, and this was a time before fidget spinners were a thing, so I did not have proper fidget toys

reblog to give dean a giant rainbow slinky for his bday

Season 1, Episode 4

I’m continuing to liveblog watching the Owlhouse! Long post, so it’s under a cut!

Honerstly? I’m THRILLED to hear this. I’ve been wanting an intro to more demon lore!!

Demon Lesson 101 - Bully the demons??? And wait - is that Humpty Dumpty??

Who on the story team has a thing against giraffes? Is there a giraffe accident one of the writers wants to talk about? 

Purified water.. not holy water. I see. So like, tap is fine, but what about bottled? Distilled?? 

Unstoppable force meets immovable object. I cannot say I’m not enjoying this. Meanwhile, Luz just wants clout. 

Wait... camera, enhance!

Book behind Luz - “So You Sold Your Soul” - Oh, Eda.... honey what have you done.... 

Or maybe that’s normal? Maybe that’s like, a currency? Who knows.

Oh.... OH. 

The boiling-- OH. The Isles. Are Boiling. The-- it’s... condensation. That would never work! Not scientifically, it would-- 

Oh what the fuck am I saying. I need new Disbelief-Suspenders, mine are sagging. 

Fascinating. Plagues, gorenados, and shale-hail are kinda self-explanitory. A rainbow is just... light. You can’t touch it, so what’s the trick? Does it hurt when you see one? Is there just like, a giant pain-slinky rainbow going loops around the island? 

Uh--... 

Well alright then.

I have two interests and two interest only - magical worldbuilding and one, magical, sassy, surprisingly foxy tax evader. 

I see we have arrived at the crux of this episode. That’s not a question you just casually drop in. :) This will be important later. [Chekhov will remember that.]

Ah, I see magic here obeys the soft spell-slots rules. You can only do so much a day.

.... oh. I see. That’s.... yeah, okay. That’s definitely a healthy and okay thing to have. An organ, yeeah, it makes sense. But uh. Luz brings up a good point. How IS she supposed to do this? Grow a sac? Maybe after she eats enough weird stuff her body will just grow one.

OOOOh so there are different types of magic? Presumably demons and witches both have sacs? Although we have not actually seen King perform any magic, have we? Maybe I’m forgetting something. 

Ohhh I see. An actual nest, huh. Maybe Eda really is an owl. Those gold coins sure do look comfy.

YO WHAT?! TUMBLR WHY.

It is at this point that tumblr ate my whole post. Holy fuck. Sorry guys.

I’ll have to return to this post later. :( I literally liveblogged all of it, but the post stops here?! What the hell???

7x14: Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie

Written by: Andrew Dabb & Daniel Loflin

Directed by: Mike Rohl

Original air date: February 10, 2012

Plot Synopsis:

Sam and Dean are stumped. Somehow, a group of children's personal fears are becoming a reality and killing off a parent that each child has a certain hatred for.

Features:

Sam’s fear of clowns, Dean’s germaphobia, vamptopus, killer unicorn, evil Chuck-E Cheese, death by ball pit,

My Thoughts:

This is a genuinely quite fun and sweet monster of the week episode. I love when Dean gets to interact with kids and the monster was really creative and fun to watch. The effects weren’t terrible except for the rainbow coming out of the unicorn’s ass, and I can forgive that for being a big swing.

I like the rapport between the brothers in this episode, especially at the end. The fact that Sam wasn’t there when Dean was trying to get a giant slinky but still knew that he would want one was genuinely very lovely. Dean laughing his ass off at Sam covered in glitter and then throwing a clown doll at him was very realistic behavior for siblings.

The format of cutting back and forth in time was fun, although the time card “right friggin’ now” is stupid as hell.

Unfortunately I am the victim of extreme second-hand embarrassement so watching Sam’s bad-cop routine was very terrible for me. And since the rating is subjective I get to deduct points for cringe.

Notable Lines:

“Seriously, Frank, pay phones? I mean, come on. I – I'm getting the clap off this thing just touching it.”

“Just know that 99.99% of all clowns can't hurt you.”

“I'm sorry for... psychologically scarring you.” “Which time?”

10x13: Halt & Catch Fire

Written by: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder

Directed by: John F. Showalter

Original air date: February 10, 2015

Plot Synopsis:

To take his mind off of the Mark of Cain, Dean goes hunting. They track down a ghost that is killing college students through electronics and the internet.

Features:

Killer Siri, death by computer power cord, hit-and-run murders, very stupid teenagers, the philosophical implications of humans as electrical impulses, the world’s most depressing online relationship.

My Thoughts:

I mostly found this episode boring. Big difference between this and the season 7 episode today. I get annoyed when they write Cas out of an episode, especially when the reason is either stupid or more interesting than what the brothers are doing, and this episode somehow managed to do both.

The dialogue was weak, and Dean staring at all the college girls comes off as pathetic rather than suave when he’s 10 years older than all of them and lying to put himself in a position of power over them. There was a light sprinkling of slutshaming over the whole scene with the first sorority girl. It’s also very clear that the writers have apparently never spoken to a female person between the ages of 8 and 30. No one is typing out “#curious” or “#confused” unless it’s ironic to your friends. I was literally a girl in college when this episode came out and I promise we were not doing that.

It bums me out that they got the rights to play a Hozier song in this episode and they wasted it on background music for a scene that none of the main characters were in. Missed opportunities abound.

The connection to the season plot at the end of the episode was weak. Even Jensesn’s acting, usually my lifeboat in a bad-but-not-awful episode, wasn’t enough to keep me invested.

Notable Lines:

“How do you deal?” “Whiskey. Denial. I do my best to make things right, whatever that may be.”

“But take it from me…the more you kill, the crazier you’ll get. The blood fuels the rage.”

11x13: Love Hurts

Written by: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder

Directed by: Phil Sgriccia

Original air date: February 10, 2016

Plot Synopsis:

Sam and Dean investigate a set of murders on Valentine's Day and discover they are dealing with an ancient curse. Once kissed by the curse, the person is marked to die.

Features:

The babysitter/mistress getting her heart ripped out, nanny cam footage, a Return to Love spell, a Qareen, a manhating lesbian hairdresser,

My Thoughts:

This episode was written by the same duo as Halt & Catch Fire, above. Kind of funny that they were both homages to (rip offs of?) older TV/movies. Halt & Catch Fire is based on a TV show of the same name and this one was clearly inspired by It Follows, a horror movie that came out two years before this episode.

For most of this episode I was a little bored (not nearly as badly as the last episode, at least), but I actually thought the end was interesting in a meta sort of way. Possibly it’s one of those things that’s better with the context of Chuck literally writing the story in season 15.

Everything about Dean being attracted to Amara is written as a coming out narrative. He’s keeping his true feelings trapped inside while hooking up with random women in bars, he’s cloaked in shame, he has to have an earnest conversation about his feelings with his brother, who literally responds like someone whose been waiting for you to come out so he can tell you he isn’t surprised. And then in the greater metanarrative, it’s wrapped up in this compulsory heterosexuality that the narrative is forcing on him. He’s not in love with Amara - he doesn’t actually know anything about her other than that she’s dangerous and she eats souls. He’s drawn to her because supernatural forces are making it so. @meg3point0 said, “they’re trying so hard to comphet him, and everything they do makes him gayer. I’ve never seen a character fight the narrative so hard”.

It helps that there’s no chemistry between Jensen Ackles and Emily Swallow, which is almost embarrassing when they’re both so hot. But it does really drive the metanarrative point home that their connection is not a true emotional one. Dean acts like he’s a puppet whenever he’s around her.

The rest of the episode was fine. I don’t love that the way younger employee was the one in the romantic relationship implied to be the one with power in that situation, and no one has ever said “buxom” in the last 30 years with a straight face, but it wasn’t terrible. Some things don’t make a lot of sense, like how Melissa somehow knew what motel and what room they were staying in instead of calling them, but I liked the pink in the window for that set so I forgive it.

Also, the rock-paper-scissors scene near the end was endearing enough to win back some points. I liked that Dean was so happy to have won that he took the basement anyways.

Notable Lines:

“Wow. You’re practically a feminist.”

“You’re a mystery. I can see inside your heart. Feel the love you feel. Except it’s cloaked in shame.”

Day 7: I Hate Christmas

Pairing: Dean x Reader

Summary: Dean finally tells YN why he isn't a fan of the holidays.

Warnings: Slight Depression/Anxiety, Fluff/Angst

A/N: Day 7 of my writing challenge! No hate on any SPN Cast/Character. Feedback is greatly appreciated! Enjoy!

***ASK OPEN***

*LET ME KNOW IF YOU’D LIKE TO BE TAGGED*

December One Shots Masterlist

Dean and YN were cuddle up, enjoying their morning in bed. Neither of them wanted to get out of bed anytime soon, so they opted to just stay there as long as possible.

YN laid on Dean's bare chest, her arm around his midsection and his arm around her shoulder. Every once in a while, Dean would lean forward and kiss YN's head. YN would return the favor by kissing Dean's chest.

While they were laying there, YN had an idea, "Hey, babe?"

"Yes, beautiful?" Dean yawned.

"Let's play a game," she looked up at him.

Dean smiled, "What kind of game?"

"I'll ask you a question and you have to answer truthfully, then you can do the same for me. It can be any question, personal or random. Sound like fun?"

"Yeah, sounds fun. So who goes first?"

YN pointed at herself, "I came up with the game, so I get to go first."

"Oh, that doesn't seem fair," he raised an eyebrow, "You know the rules, YN. Age before beauty."

YN groaned, "Fine. What's your first question?"

Dean thought for a moment, "Who was your first kiss?"

"Oh, jeez," she giggled, "You're going to think it's trash."

"Was it that bad?"

YN shook her head, "No, I was just really young. I was in 4th grade, he was in 2nd."

Dean started laughing, "Okay, that does not count."

"Oh it counts. First kiss is a first kiss. His name was Tristan. We were outside on recess and we went behind the cherry blossom tree and he kissed me before giving me flowers and running away."

"Wow, run away from a beautiful girl? Now that's just wrong," Dean shook his head.

"True," YN nodded, "Okay, my turn."

This game went on for roughly an hour. Dean and YN both telling random stories for their question, some embarrassing and some personal.

But when YN asked her next question, the mood in the room shifted, "What's your favorite Christmas memory?"

Dean went silent. He refused to look at YN and more than that, he refused to speak. He looked at the ceiling before closing his eyes with a sigh.

"Dean? Is something wrong?" she asked with concern.

"Nothing. Can I get another question?"

YN sat up and looked at him, "Why?"

He turned to her, but refused to look her in the eyes, "I'm not particularly fond of the holidays, YN."

"Huh? What do you mean? We've been celebrating Christmas together for 3 years now. And you seem to enjoy it."

"I do enjoy it. With you," he sat up in the bed, "Growing up, Sam and I didn't really celebrate the holidays. Dad was always gone on a hunt and we were left to fend for ourselves. I tried to make it nice for Sammy, but it wasn't the same."

YN thought for a moment, "Do you have any Christmas memories with your mother?"

Dean shook his head, "I can't recall them well. I was only 4 when she died remember?"

"That's right. I'm sorry, Dean."

"I don't hate Christmas, but I'm not entirely fond of the holiday. I just try to make it nice and fun for you because you have such great memories with your family."

YN and Dean sat in silence for a bit, neither of them knowing what to say or do. Every once in a while, YN would catch Dean's eye, but he would look away immediately.

Suddenly, YN had another idea, "Dean, I have a new question."

"Okay, hit me."

"When you were a kid, what was the one thing you wanted more than anything in the world for Christmas?"

Dean thought for a bit, "Uh, I don't really know. I never thought about what I wanted. I focused more on Sammy."

"Well, was there a toy or perhaps something for Baby or even a weapon you wanted more than anything?" YN asked.

"Hmm," he thought, "I mean I loved those giant slinky toys. You know what I mean? Those rainbow ones that were bigger than your head?"

YN nodded, "Oh, yeah! I think I had one when I was super young," she got out of bed, "Come on. We're going shopping."

"W-what? Why?" Dean asked as he got out of bed.

"Get dressed. Shower if you want to, but we're leaving in 15 minutes," she said as she changed out of her pajamas.

Dean was so confused, "What is going on?"

"There's a toy store up the road," YN kissed his cheek, "And we have a huge rainbow slinky to find."

"What, really?!" he smiled.

"Of course. I'm determined to change your mind about this holiday, love," YN stood in the doorway, "Besides, your grown-up present is already under the tree," she winked at him.

Dean's eyes grew wide, "Oh, hell yeah."

"Goddamn slinkies." Dean lets out, softened voice brimming with nostalgia and affection, as he stares at the colorful coil on the library table.

"Huh?" Sam looks up.

"Goddamn giant, rainbow slinkies." Dean swears, expression miles away from his words. His lips are parted in innocent wonder, and curled a smidge at the corner in just a hint of a smile. His green eyes are graphic, opened wide, and they glitter - at least from where Cas sits.

"Is that a toy?" Cas asks, curious. His eyes are narrowed, and eyebrows still pinched together from all the concentrated reading.

"What? No." Dean throws back, almost defensive. "It's a slinky!" That doesn't really help absolve his confusion, but Cas deems it alright to nod at that. "We won this, like, a couple thousand cases back at a Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie."

Cas's eyebrows go up.

"We?" Sam repeats, sounding incredulous but mostly just poking fun. Oh, curse his freakish memory. "Dude. I won you that, because you were doing the toystore equivalent of pining from afar."

Dean makes a face at him, while Cas quips in. "So it is a toy."

"Screw you both," Dean gets up, picking up his slinky. Because that's all he's going to let himself think of it, as. Dean Winchester, hunter of forty rugged years, doesn't play with toys. Hence, it's not a friggin' toy. "I don't need to take this. I'll be in my room if you find anything on the vamp-shifters."

As he walks off, his brother and Cas proceed to talk. Not like he's trying to listen, but he catches a few sentences.

"You're right, Jack would like it."

"Perhaps I should win him one, if that's what family does." The voice is definitely Cas's. "Who do I have to win it from?"

"More like a what, Cas." There's a pause. "And more like lots of what's. Look -"

Out of earshot at this point, Dean continues stalking to his room, though his brain stays stuck in the hallway, as it tries to figure out the rest of that conversation.

He places his slinky on the bed, and leans back against the wood of his bedframe. It was obviously hilarious that Cas assumed these things had to be won against fighters, in battle. Though Dean wonders if he actually thought so, or was just pulling the pretend-oblivious act, just because.

Cas was weird, but he had that squint Dean was pretty sure was reserved just for him, and that voice, and he can just express his desire to win slinkies for his kid as means of conforming to familial tradition, out loud. He purposefully loses at Connect Four, and is crappy at holding his badge straight, and wears Dean's ancient band t-shirts in the summer, and thinks his burgers are quote-unquote wonderful.

Fuck weird - Cas is infuriatingly perfect, and goddammit, sometimes it can hit really hard how much Dean loves him.

God-friggin'-damn it.

*

"Dean?" Cas stops mid-step, entering the garage, and greets him with a puzzled stare - because Dean's not usually found wandering alone by the cars, in the middle of the day, and because staring is kind of their thing.

"Get in, and we'll talk?" Dean grins in return, waving the keys to the Impala in the air.

If Cas is going out to a ridiculous restaurant chain to win giant slinkies for Jack, Dean's driving him there. Hell, he might even win Cas something, if he's feeling lucky - like a discount on dessert, in case they stop to have lunch.

"I'd like to come with." Dean explains, uncertain now, posture bordering on shy. "If you don't mind."

Cas smiles. "Of course."

And then they're settling in on opposite edges of Baby's front seat, Cas muttering a smug, "Shotgun," and Dean objectively losing it because angels he's in love with have no business being that adorable about seating arrangements, and then finally, he turns the key and the engine roars to life, and they're off.

*

(Indeed, it's a weird series of events, even by their standards, leading to their first kiss ever, happening in the parking lot of a Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie; branch: Lawrence, Kansas.)

[isthisjackie]

So I have this self care thing I like to call my “Feel Better Basket” where I keep a bunch of stress relief stuff and things that just generally make me happy. Like there’s the giant slinky and rainbow glitter baton thing I found at target, some of my favorite candy (I hide it there so I’ll forget about and have it for a rainy day lol), a few of those stress squishy toys, and some silly stuff to wear like a pair of bunny ears, my tiara, and my silly spa headbands. (I usually wear the bunny ears and tiara every once in a while when I’m drinking, and the spa headbands on days I don’t wash my hair lol)

Yesterday I bought this wand at Claire’s and I just love it so much. Like it was $8 and when I picked it up I was like holy shit this is the cutest thing ever I wish I could buy this 😲 and my sister was like ?? You can? You have plenty of money for it?

Basically this is just a reminder that being an adult def has it upsides and that sometimes buying something dumb will give you a crazy amount of serotonin 🖤

House of Mouse: “Goofy’s Valentine’s Date” Review

Come on in mouskeeteers! It’s Valentine’s Season here on popculturebuffet, and while I may be single, I do love a good romance story. I find them sweet, sometimes hilaroius, and endearing when done right. And the bane of my existance when done wrong, but we’ll be getting to smidgen of that too. Point is I may not be getting any romantic love this season but I can sure celebrate it. So for the next two weeks we’ll be diving deep first into some ending with one heck of a closer. 

So for our opening act since i’ve been going on in to the House of Mouse a lot lately, and since I NEARLY missed this one if not for Kevin, we’re going to be looking in on my boy Goofy as he grapples with being lonely and Daisy misguidedly tries to help him. Blind dates with a manquin and Mortimer hitting on women to predictable and justified results insues under the cut. 

So as usual for house of mouse we’re chunking this up by segment. Let’s go. 

Donald’s Valentine’s Dollar: Easily the segment of the night and the best House of Mouse short i’ve seen in a rewatch so far. The short is simple but awesome: Donald has only a dollar to spend for V-Day, and wants to buy daisy a tiny but sweet box of chocolates, but his dollar blows away in the wind and he chases after it. And that’s.. it that’s our premise. But it leads into fast paced looney tunes style shenanigans with donald zipping up and down kites and later taking goofy’s broken one and putting it on like wings Arthur Everest styles and taking after it. Also the nephews show up and dick around with their kites because their douchebags in some shorts. Also donald tries to punch a whale.. well a whale kite but still let it be said there’s a short where donald tries to punch what he thinks is a sky whale. And that is wonderful.  The climax is also really sweet, as Donald gets the dolalr, after another briliant sequence where they play hide and seek in the clouds, only to find it sold out and himself dejected waiting for her thinking she’ll be mad.. only for her to present him with the very gift he was going to give her and the two to share a look. 

It’s cute enough on it’s own but after SEVEAL weeks of having to put up with the  three cabs version it’s NICE to have a Daisy back whose not an overly demanding monster from some stygian hole in the sky. Not much else to say about this one. I’ts just REALLY good and I could easily recommend checking it out on it’s own. 

Mickey Saves Minnie: The Stairs This is one of those short segments from Mouseworks that lasts about a minute and is off a simple recurring premise, in this case Mickey saving Minnie from some sort of bizzare fortress of pete’s.. in this case THE STAIRS!

I said STAIRS. In this case Gimmicked stairs with all kinds of traps: boxing gloves, giant balls...

And giant slinkies. I knew one day they’d grow big and kill us all but they all laughed at me.. well whose laughing now.. well still them because Mickey gets past them easily. Pete turns the stairs into a slide but mickey rebounds by pure luck via slinky and uses one of the boxing gloves to win, minnie kisses him and this was real fun. Nothing really deep to go into just a fun few minutes of my life i’m glad i’m not getting back. Speaking of wishing I had minutes of my life back....

Pluto’s Arrow Error: Well this one’s messed up. Look Love Potion plots genuinely ONLY work when the writer knows that giving someone something to make you fall in love with them is inehrently messed up. It worked in Buffy because Xander did so for vengance after Cordellia broke up with him, which granted she did REALLY hurt him but it’s still a bit of overkill. However while it ends up backfiing and making every OTHER girl in school into him, and psyotically so as the episode goes on, he never indulges, as he KNOWS it’s wrong and not under their power or choice. Basically it was one long deconstuction of this nonsense. 

My point is unless it’s used to deconstruct this type of plot or for some shenanigans, Love Potion plots are inherently creepy at best and rapey at worst. So naturally we get one with Pluto trying to make a dog who dosen’t know him love him instead of trying to woo her, and accidently making her bodyguard/boyfirend I guess chase after him for 2 minutes while he’s tinted pink. And yes i know he’s a dog, but he’s an intellegent dog who should knwo this is bad and never gets called out on it and his punshiment.. is one long gay joke. 

So yeah while not the worst love potion plot i’ve probably seen, or love magic or what have you, I could make a list of those and might some day, it is still pretty uncomfortable and easily a dead spot in an otherwise pretty enjoyable episode. 

Goofy’s Valentine’s Date: And fitting it’s accompanying shorts, the good ones anyway, this is a simple plot with funny gags. It’s valentin’es day at the house of mouse and Mickey encourages everyone to kiss their sweeties. So we get Aladdin and Jasmine, AWWWW always shipped those two so adorable, a toy soldier and some other toy from a work im unfamiliar iwth and Timon turns down Pumba. Come on man, who are you trying to kid me or the censors? 

But Goofy’s depressed since he dosent have a sweetie and Daisy feels bad for the poor guy while Minnie tells her “not to meddle”. 

Minnie from a buisness standpoint, he’s crying while reading the menu and clealry not in great mental shape. Setting him up with someone or even just talking to him will help with that. And from a human being standpoint... your being a cruel ass to NOT help him in any way shape or form. The guys a fucking widower. He’s probably been lonely for some time and more focused on raising max. And since no one knows where Peg is he dosen’t have a lot options now he is ready to date again. It’s not MEDDLING to help a clearly lonely person whose gotten over his grief move on, it’s just called basic human decency. I expect that from cablleros daisy Min not you. 

So Daisy does end up meddling, in part because she thinks it’s shuffling around coins, and sets him up with a secret admirer.. without actually getting him one. 

So Minnie does agree to help and they.. put him in a blindfold and have him date a manquin. In front of the entire restraunt. I have no words.. since this is pretty funny and Goofy’s shenanigans while blindfolded, because it’s a BLIND date.

Also sidebar it’s very weird that she DID set Lincoln up with a blind date once but didn’t pull this gag. Point is it’s some funny stuff including Gus, in his first apperance on this blog seriously how’d it take so long, eating the shakes he orders since Goofy can’t see. 

Tying into the resolution to this is Moritmer, who spends the episode as you’d expect.. hitting on various characters. He hits on the wicked step sisters, whose cat attacks him, he hits on the lady gargoyle from huncback and her two friends rightfully beat his ass, he hits on madam mim who set shim on fire and he hits on the queen of hearts who somehow DOSEN’T cut off his head, and you know is married, and does launch him into goofy spoiling the ruse. Honestly I found this funny both because Moritmer is objectively hilarious and because the show DIDN’T take his side at all or give him anyone, and he suffered consequences for sleazly hitting on women. He also called himself a wonder man. No sir the only wonder men are these guys. 

And if your wondering about the secod one there was a whole song about it. 

Your welcome. So Goofy’s dejected until after Pluto’s cartoon where it turns out he had a secret admirer after all. it’s clarabelle! Awww.. and Daisy says “Well it’s better than a manquin” what a supportive friend you are. And she’s STILL better than cabs Daisy. Point is happy ending pulled sorta out of their ass, as she showed up earlier but sitll it woudl’ve been easy to have Clarabelle chime in during their scheme or something and have Minnie set them up to fix it. Or Donald or Mickey. Donald was absent outside of the short. That’s not fair. But overall not a bad wraparound, ending is a huge copout and feels like not much, but i’m starting to think that’s usual for season 1. I do KINDA ship the two, but usually I prefer her with horace or him with Peg Pete. Yeah you heard me and you cant unhear it and frankly I don’t want you to. We also get a funny add about the Queen of Hearts valentine’s service.  Overall not a bad episode. Fun gags, a cute premsie and only one really terrble short. Check it out this valentein’s and hopefully disney will have this show up on plus by next valentine’s. Until the next rainbow, it’s been a pleasure.
