#i also love designing shoes to look more like hooves. 'those are his hooves you bitch' is like a brother to me now

Morningstar family redesigns

I kinda wanted to expand on my choices for my redesigns for fun

So first, Lucifer. I really don’t have a lot of issues with his original design, I think it’s fun and fits within the Hazbin universe! I just wanted to reimagine him.

I always liked the idea of Lucifer having curly reddish hair, something about his fall turning his hair red (this design isn’t 100% biblically accurate as it is just for fun), but I toned down the red to be closer to his original blonde since I also like blonde Lucifer, and I figured he’d liked to keep his hair neat so I decided to put it up and take away the hat

I wanted to keep the ring leader theme in his outfit, but I wanted to further incorporate the snake element in his design since I think he’d be proud of his fall (hence why his suit looks burnt and torn, and he shows off his burnt arm, I figured he’d do this intentionally to remind others of his rebellion)

Lastly I changed the entire family’s main colors to purple, as biblically out of the 7 sins Pride is purple and since he’s supposed to rule pride in the show I figured he’d be more purple themed then red, pretty simple🙏

Next Lilith, I think she was the only one out of the three where I didn’t really like her original design. Not only because she didn’t have much going on, but she also looked really similar to Lucifer, to the point where they almost look blood related.

I think Viv’s choices for Lilith were a bit odd, as she had SOO much potential that just wasn’t used.

I kept her blonde hair but I gave it some tan undertones and I put it up into a semi-low slicked back pompadour inspired by some hairstyles you might see young women have in the early 1900s or late 1800s, but I gave her a little down section that fades into a dark purple and looks somewhat feathery due to one adaption of her describing her as a “screech owl”. I kept the purple theme somewhat like the original and plus she technically rules over pride as well, I would have loved to have given her a red theme if pride was red.

Based on these different adaptations of Lilith a took inspiration from each, giving her a flame-themed dress and the upper body of a beautiful women yet still somewhat demon-like, I also put some fluff at the bottom of her dress since I thought it looked kinda like smoke puffs and clouds. Her stomach is covered with gold rings that look somewhat like a snake belly, and I gave her a necklace with a style inspired by some eastern jewelry, the jewels on her necklace are each the color of one of the 7 sins which I thought would be a fun touch and a little bit of a “showing off” of her role as the queen of hell.

lastly I kept her horns since she is meant to be a succubus, but I stylized them a bit to look less like those big ram-like ones since I didn’t really like how odd they looked against her head. I also gave her long slender fingers that faded to a black naturally as in biblical lore she steals babies from mothers and I thought making her hands that she stole the children with look creepy and eerie yet still beautiful was a nice touch.

Lastly, Charlie! Again, I didn’t really have a problem with the original design. I changed her suit color and theme to prides color, put I made her hair curlier and more red/orange like her dads, and I wanted some parts of her suit to resemble his a bit hence the buttons and the back of her suit going out like her dad’s (but a bit shorter for convenience.)

I imagine her being a bit showy so I kinda decked her out in silver, I thought it’d also be a fun mirroring of how her mom is covered in gold. Her shoes are pretty similar to the original, I put a little split at the front of the shoes in the dark purple since Viv has said she has little hooves which I’m not sure is true but I thought it was a fun idea so I kinda hinted at it with that

I changed her irises (is that what they’re called?) to look more snake-like like her dad, and I gave her little horns since I thought they were cute and I wanted her to maybe show them on purpose because she wanted to blend in more with the citizens of hell so they might feel less intimidated by her presence as the princess, that’s also why I didn’t give her a crown :]

Overall this was just a fun little project I did out of curiosity and boredom, these designs aren’t made to criticize or taunt vivziepop since like I said I love her designs already

[twisted-wonderland-shenanigans]

Hello!

I was thinking about the Monster!AU and I'm now wondering about how the residents of NRC would react to how differently Yuu is anatomically.

And what I mean by that is like how most of the students have hoofs. A smaller comparison are ears.

I like to imagine them speculating that Yuu just didn't have ears and just understood what they were saying somehow or that Yuu had holes for ears like parrots do until they pushed our hair out of the way and revealed that they did have ears, they were just out of sight. I can also imagine them wondering why Yuu's ears looked like that.

And for the hoofs part, I can also see them wondering why Yuu wears pants and shoes. Because while I do think that they wear clothers on their upper half, I don't think the monsters in this twst au wear pants or shoes, so I think they'd be confused. I imagine some of them being confused about human feet, too. Toes may be a weird thing to them, too. Or at least the type that humans have since I saw that Jade's concept design has toes.

I just have a bunch of things circulating in my head around this au. Whenever I get reminded of it, I keep on thinking of misinformation that could have spread among the years or completely forgotten about that humans have been extinct, and these are just two of the ideas that have popped into my head. Your au is haunting me in the worst and best way possible.

Oooh yes yes yes yessssss, I love this sort of musing! It gives me life and inspires lil’ ideas in me~! ovo/ Muahahaha, I love that the Monster!AU is giving people ideas, because I love seeing the little shenanigans and randomness that can appear! c:<

Depending on the Yuu’s hair style (or lack of hair style if they have no hair), human ears would definitely be one of those curiously confusing aspects that may have monster students and researchers alike poking and pulling on them (though they do apologize if they pull too hard since ears are sensitive). In some cases, they might wonder if humans alter the shapes of their ears so they appear more rounded and cute before they find out that, no, this is how human ears naturally look.

Imagine their horror the moment they realize some humans actually pierce various parts of their body with metal! Sure, they may pierce their own ears (Kalim being one example), but piercing your nose? Bellybutton?! Tongue?!? “Why are humans so weird with decorative metal pieces all over their body!? Doesn’t that hurt?!” 

Don’t worry, they get over it and get curious and fascinated by the style! 0v0/)

(No but seriously, there are some really gorgeous styles for piercings that can look really cool, I just get squeamish at the thought of having anything but my earlobes pierced for small studs, let alone getting a plug/tunnel or even tattoos for myself. 😅 If it’s your thing, then just make sure to keep the areas clean so they don’t get infected and you can continue looking and feeling amazing, you beautiful person! UvU)

You're right in that they do still wear clothes (I know the concept art doesn’t seem like it, but that’s because I don’t feel like dealing with clothing on that small a scale when I’m trying to figure out how to make their anatomy work), but they do in fact wear pants! Well, except Deuce, given how his body works, so it’s a case by case basis and choice. 😆 So, the fact that Yuu is wearing pants wouldn’t seem that unusual. Their shoes, however…

Like you said, most of the monsters have hooves and can wear horseshoes to make sure they have good traction wherever they go (they can be either metal or specialized rubber that mimics the soles of our own shoes and boots). Those who don’t have hooves though can easily adapt to different surfaces and can build up a tolerance for hot or cold (though that doesn’t mean it’s any less unpleasant during those times), but they’re certainly able to tolerate it better than we humans could, so the concept of shoes never really came to light and it was assumed that all humans had weirdly shaped hooves.

You can probably imagine how the students reacted the moment they realized that those “hooves” weren’t hooves at all.

//

Deuce: “Are you okay, Yuu? Coach was worried you were about to pass out.”

Yuu: *finished with running laps and collapsed under the shade of a tree to cool down* “Ugh…it’s so hot today.”

Ace: “Yeah, it is pretty hot.” *using his wings to generate a breeze to cool them down*

Yuu: “How come you’re not overheating?”

Ace: “Hm? Well that’s easy. Skvader’s and other rabbit-like monsters cool down with our ears. When the wind passes through them, it helps cool us down easier. We don’t really sweat like Deuce or any other species.”

Deuce: “How do humans keep cool?”

Ace: “Well, considering that Yuu’s sweating up a storm, I think they cool down the same way as centaur do.”

Yuu: “Well yeah…though we also cool down through our feet.” *realization sinks in as they sit up* “Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me, I need to take my shoes off.”

Ace: “Shoes? What are those?”

Deuce: “How are you bending your leg like that, Yu-AAAAAAAAAAAA-!!!!”

Ace: “AAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!!”

Yuu: *holding shoe in one hand* “Why are you two screaming?!”

Ace and Deuce: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!!!”

Riddle: *rushing over in a panic* “What’s wrong? Why are you-?” *sees Yuu holding their shoe in one hand* “AAAAAAAAA!!!! Yuu!! Your hoof!!!”

Yuu: “My what!? Why is everyone screaming?!”

Vargas: “What is going on here?!”

Yuu: “I have no idea! They just started screaming!”

Deuce: “Yuu! You literally just ripped your hoof off your leg!! We need to get you to the doctor before you bleed out!!!”

Yuu: *realizes what’s going on now* “Deuce, I’m fine! I’m not bleeding, see? It’s just my shoe! You guys can stop screaming now!”

Ace: “What the heck is a shoe!?”

Yuu: “It’s a cover we humans wear on our feet to protect them from getting hurt of gravel, glass, or other things that can injure us.” *pulls off sock and wiggles toes* “See? This is what a human foot looks like.” *notices Deuce and Riddle swaying, looking pale as a ghost* “Uh…guys?”

Thud! WHUD!!

Yuu: “Riddle!? Deuce!! Are you okay?!”

Ace: “I…I think they’re still processing the fact that you didn’t just dismember yourself in front of them.” *lays down* “I need a moment…”

//

…yeah, it went about as well as the grape incident. 😂 It took some explanation before those with hooves (like Riddle and Deuce) to recover from the shock of thinking Yuu had hurt themselves and get used to the sight of them without their shoes on when they’re relaxing or cooling down. It’s a simple yet powerful reminder to them that Yuu is literally from an extinct species that they know so little about.

Of course, the researchers (once they realized what was going on with the shoes) instantly became curious and studied how versatile humans could be. You know how sometimes when you’re carrying an armful of something or even just drop something lightweight, and instead of trying to bend down to get it you just grab the item with your foot and twist your leg to grab it easier? (Don’t deny it, I know you do this too fellow reader!) As “lazy” as it may seem, it’s still fascinating how our bodies are able to move in ways that may seem physically impossible or difficult to do in any other species outside of primates!

And I just imagined a scene similar to the one in Tarzan where he was trying to figure out what Jane was and accidentally tickled her, so imagine that happening and the monster in question accidentally getting kicked in the face because Yuu was overly ticklish 🤣

That’s all I’ve got for now, so I hope you enjoy! If anyone has any other ideas they wanna share, hit me up! ÒvÓ

[dluebirb]

Alright, so I finally jumped on the bandwagon (for better or for worse) and redesigned the main cast of Hazbin Hotel!

Disclaimer: I am not saying that my designs are better than the ones in the show, I am just saying that this is what I would have done if I were to design the characters, plus addressing some common criticism of Vivziepop's character designs. I enjoy the show, and with that comes some artistic liberties. Proceed.

So I'm going to show each character individually, plus a brief explanation (EDIT: They were not as brief as I thought... I love these characters, so sue me!) of what I changed and why, and then a lineup at the end!! Stick with me please, I put a lot of work into these!

@theosb0rnway they are real and in decent quality this time!! Wow!!

First up, Charlie! I had no idea she was meant to be based off of a porcelain doll. I thought she was a weird hell-vampire thing ngl. Fangs, pastey skin, you get it. The only thing the doll thing had going for it was the cheek marks, and I though that was a design choice for blush, like Mabel in Gravity Falls!

Porcelain dolls are really just those gen alpha tiktok influencer-level skin care routines plus dresses from two centuries ago, so I decided to go with a more puppet-leaning/mouthpiece design, plus some more goat-ish attributes, like her lil hoovsies!

Her color pallatte is brighter than the other designs because I wanted to show how she (while still utilizing the pinks and reds of hell) is the most pure-hearted of the bunch, as she's the only one who really doesn't belong in hell.

If this does well (or I want to) I might do her demon form!

VAGGIE! My girl. I love her.

So my main problem with Vaggie's current design: HER HAIR. I'm sorry, but how are the physics of that supposed to work?? Please? /gen

She also says in the show that she's "not used to fighting with long hair, and the ponytail in episode 8 doesn't really serve that purpose? At least from the viewers POV, hence the bun.

I know she's not technically a moth demon, since she's an ex-exorcist, but I wanted to lean into the imagery. She and Charlie look a little too close to human in comparison to almost anyone else, so I wanted to give her some moth-isms. And I find it more believable that she could fight like this! Ik Alastor's the hotel's protector and all, but old habits die hard n such.

Onto Angel Dust! Okay, I gotta say, I should lower his colors general brightness-

But other than that, I think I did pretty good with him!

I am probably in the minority who thought the eyes thing in episode four was pretty cool, but I wanted to make him more visibly spider-like, and eyes seemed like a good place to start.

I will admit to taking inspiration from the iron spider suit in Avengers: Infinity War for his extra arms. I was a Marvel kid, the legends are true.

Also, PINCERS! I think that's what those are called- They're only sorta there because any other way I tried ended with messing up his general face, but the thought's there!

I did forget his spider ass, but it's there in spirit, trust.

BIG OL' SHOUT OUT TO OZ FOR HELPING ME WITH THE DEER MAN'S FACE. He was giving me a TIME-

His fuck-ass bob is NO MORE. I rest my case. Also the monocle was annoying me, so he gets old lady glasses. I don't know why his shoes look like deer hooves. he's a little fucked up anatomy-wise.

I don't have much to say about him, but I loved drawing his hair. He gets to keep some of his red, because he WOULD. I also have a design of Alastor with a coat/jacket thing that's more time-period accurate, but I really liked this design, so it's what you're getting unless someone asks for it.

I also don't have a lot to say about Husk- I took away a lot more than I added if we're being real.

Hat? GONE

Weird wing design that makes my brain hurt? GONE

Eyebrows? YOU BETTER BELIEVE THEY'RE GONE

(I had a grudge against his eyebrows, leave me be-)

He's also short and fat now, so... YEAH (for a while I thought he was real short, but that was only because I kept seeing screen caps of him next to Angel, and the guy's a beanpole-)

His wings resemble the succubi in Helluva more so now, because Hazbin has a weird relationship with wings, so I wanted to make the distinction clearer than it is in canon.

His eyes glow now because have you SEEN a cat in pitch black, dead of night? Scary little assholes. (/aff, I love my cats.) He's dead and in hell, so they glow perpetually.

As with Charlie, I had no idea Niffty was supposed to be a bug. This seems to be a recurring issue.

I shifted her hair and outfit to be a lil more 1950s-accurate, but it was pretty good before, all things considered. I actually like Niffty's Canon design a lot.

In terms of making the bug-ness more pronounces, I gave her antennae (they can glow because YES) and wings. I imagine the wings are kind of like grasshopper wings, so they make a lil weird noise. I also gave her four legs, because if there's one thing I know about bugs, they have an abnormal amount of appendages.

The quality got CRUNCHED so click on the lineup, PLEASE-

And yeah, there are the sillies! I tried to differentiate them from the RED, but I think I overdid it-

Eh, I like them!

Send an ask or comment if you want me to do any more characters, or send me a screenshot from Hazbin and I'll redraw it with these guys! It'll also give me the chance to work on backgrounds, which I need!

I really hope you guys like these!

[otherkingwolfie]

im probably going to be hated for this, for absolutely no reason, but-

i looked at lavendertownes redesigns of the hazbin hotel character's, and in my mind, i fought "damn, these look ugly", but i also shouldn't think that, because lavendertowne hasnt done proper research, and hasn't fully watched the show, before she redrew them (well i think those, because i haven't seen her video on redesigning the hazbin hotel character's, and i only know about this, from the commentery (cant spell properly.) side of youtube.

i also drew these mostly, because i was bored, and not to exactly hate on lavendertownes designs, even tho i did just type in, that i think some of her redesigns look abit ugly (especially angel dust's redesign she did.) and because i just felt like doing this for fun. (i feel the twitter users are going to hate me for this, or probably think im lying, when im not. also please dont come after me twitter, im just an artest, thats just doing what she loves doing. wich is drawing.)

well anyways, i randomly desided to redesign her redesigns, while still tryna keep in parts of lavendertownes redesigns in.

i was actually going to try and do these redesigns in the poses lavendertown drew them in, for all of them, but then i decided not to, when sketching niffty.

anyways- i wanted to try and keep in the fact that her redesign of alastor was more of yellow, while still keeping it fully red, but because orange exists, it kinda looked strange, so i didn't do it. again, since i didn't watch her video, i dont know what she was going for, where i put the white part, of the design, that was near his tie. other than all of that, alastor in this, just looks like alastor with a weird ear design, and in a different outfit. i also changed alastors hair abit, to match lavendertownes hair design, while still keeping in the deer parts. also another thing, was that i was to lazy to give alastor shoes, so i just drew hooves, instead.

next up i drew niffty. i desided to keep in the horns, and change it up alittle. i also kinda colored in the horns, kinda like how female hellborn imps horns look like, in vivzipops version of hell. for the hair, i dont know what i was doing, when i was drawing the part of pink hair, that is around nifftys cheek, but i couldn't get myself, to get rid of it, so its just- there. another detail with the hair, is that i made a pink and yellow pattern at the back, and i made a part of her hair a darkish pinkish redish color because i kinda liked the idea. and i also kept the white pupil, and changed some of the pink on her outfit, to black. basically i drew niffty in that way, to be a mix of her actual design, and lavendertownes.

oh yeah, i also kept in the splotches from nifftys cannon design, in.

anyways, for vaggie, i feel like i coulda done better (mostly her hairstyle.) but other than that, i desided to use the dark blue, lavendertowne used when she was shading vaggies hair, and i also kept the design of how she drew in the sleeves. also instead of making the outfit white, like how she did, i made it the vivzipop reddish pink colour, and i made the buttons on the outfit, the dark bluish grayish colour, because i fought that the buttons being two separate colours would be intresting. other then those, i made her socks (i think thats what they are.) pink, white and that darkish blueish gray colour, because i felt like it.

also i should say that, vaggie is not finished, since i still need to add in the highlights, that ive added onto the other ones.

anyways, i woulda done all of em, but im not gonna do them all in one go.

also, i have no idea if im going to beable to mix angel dusts cannon design, with lavendertownes redesign, but when i get to him, ill try to.

anyways, im not gonna tag this, so have fun finding this, you insane hazbin hotel fans, and insane twitter users. (if you do find this. again, please dont hate me, for doing this.)

[moe-broey]

My fucked up little guy (gender neutral) oc who's design lifts from Baphomet and thus goats 🤝 Yanfei who is (kind of) part deer (the goal is to have their silhouettes resemble satyrs and fauns respectively)

[ct-multifandom]

Some people are expecting commentary from me, but I’ve been super busy lately. When I’m like this, I like to only talk about things I haven’t seen other people saying.

So I liked Kuro Neko a lot. It was very solid imo and I appreciate the alternation between episodes where a ton of action happens (Ephemeral, Penalteam) vs episodes where the two dorks just kinda talk to each other and not much happens heroes-vs-villains-wise (Glaciator 2.0, Kuro Neko). Commentary speed run: Adrien pajamas hell yeah finally, wtf Nathalie out of bed? Good for her but ouch those braces. Rhythm (is that her real name?) was super cute and wholesome as a “villain”, and I love the senti. Lastly, Plagg is awesome at drawing?

But here’s what I wanted to talk the most about.

CT’s favorite thing: new heroes

The almost-last batch of my blorbos have arrived so clearly I stared at screenshots of all of them for 48 hours and noticed some stuff. I would like to point out that these 48 hours also let me go through what I call The Five Stages of New Hero Grief aka getting over the instant repulsion people feel upon seeing their designs for the first time and learning to love and accept them.

Between his ram-like original concept and the antelope-like final Caprikid, I don’t think Nathaniel actually knows what a goat is? My manga rec for him is one of those baby picture books about different types of animals. Now that I’ve gotten used to him, I actually like his suit. It reminds me of Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3. I feel like I’d like him waaaay more if his hair was different, though. It throws me off that it’s so similar to its usual style, even if it’s a little different, so any sort of more noticeable change would’ve made him look more natural. Idk why his paintbrush would have golden metal if everything on him is silver, but oh well.

Sabrina looks just about how I expected her to. I totally called it that she would have a hat. I’ll talk about her design more when I get to that image of her standing upright ‘cause this angle sucks, but I think the marble-designed ball on her chest could be her tool. If her power has to do with tracking, maybe she’ll be useful in tracking down the original, non-clone Penalty who has the actual akumatized object on her.

Minotaurox my beloved. Everyone’s saying that they see his suit as black, but I see it as navy blue? It’s a kinda desaturated color compared to most of the other suits, but he’s still all blue? (Trust me, I have perfect color vision). I like the way his mask is, it’s new and interesting. I also love the big cargo pockets. Practical. I think the puffy part around his shoulders is supposed to be like an ox yoke. His boots kinda confuse me ‘cause cloved hooves like that could never work irl but I guess it’s just part of the magic. I feel like his normal hair works well with his design because his suit is pretty reminiscent of Ivan’s usual clothes with the cargo pockets, boots, dark colors, and not a lot of details or flashiness. That’s why Nathaniel’s bothers me a little, since his clothes, on the other hand, looks so different from his usual self.

Marc looks fantastic. Glad to finally see an HD image because now we can see the gold trim which is awesome. I like his little scarf, I love his tail, and somewhat unpopular opinion but I love his hair. I’m mixed on the shoes. They make sense, and I always prefer designs being heavily influenced by the animal traits over “this looks good”, so I can’t complain, but how is he gonna kick a soccer ball without wrecking it? I guess it’s a magic ball idk. Super important detail that I haven’t seen anyone talk about: is it just me, or does he have earrings in his left (our right) ear? If you zoom in, it looks like he does. Bunnyx twins? In the picture below, I noticed that his feathers aren’t flat to his chest like I previously thought.

There are four heroes whose animals have hooves, yet zero of them have hoof prints on the bottom of their shoes. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

What I want everyone to look at is the glimpse we have of Ivan’s back. I think his tool’s on there, but what is it? It’s pretty big. Big hammer? Musical instrument? Idk

One thing I do appreciate is that they didn’t go pussy mode with the horns. If the character designers were cowards, they could’ve easily given us Minotaurox and Caprikid with tiny stubs, but they did not, and for that I am grateful.

First glimpse of Marc’s tool. They changed it from a fountain pen type thing to a quill, but they way he’s holding it makes it look kinda like a combat knife lol. Like in Hack-San, when most of the kids got brainwashed by Robustus, Marc is one again standing in the middle and a bit in front of all the other side characters, and he’s the one speaking for them. This is some consistent new development since it happened twice, and it makes me wonder how important he’s going to become because he was so irrelevant in previous seasons, but he’s changed a lot in s4. I think he’s probably the “beloved character with a big role coming up, like more than this character has ever spoken before” that Ezra Weisz talked about once in a tik tok.

Sabrina looks way cuter in this image than in the trailer imo. Her suit is similar to her normal clothes in that 70s-like aesthetic. Another important thing that nobody’s talking about: is it just me or does she have glasses in this shot? Zoom in on her mask. It looks like she has frameless oval glasses, but I can’t tell if they’re there or not in the trailer shot. If I’m seeing what I think I’m seeing, I like them a lot. They’re cute, and it’s nice to see a girl with glasses not lose them for “aesthetic reasons”. The white part on her chest/belly is a heart aww. Her boots look like those tall schoolgirl type socks, and that plus the shorts, beret, and glasses has a huge vintage prep vibe.

I bet Ladybug is drawing out a game plan in this scene, but everyone’s expressions are so funny. Every single character could be a different reaction meme.

Last thing: I’m trying to imagine how Ladybug is going to give out all of these miraculous. We know the class starts all together, so it’d be tough to separate them all to individually give them miraculous in different locations later. On top of that, there are four more heroes in three other locations, and they’re probably all supposed to be in class right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t explain how they get busted out of class, but in Kuro Neko we see how collecting the miraculous from even four temp heroes is stressful and time consuming for Ladybug. Maybe this is the episode where she’ll start considering making more people/all of them permanent at some point, and maybe even considering that everyone knowing each other’s identities would make things way easier.

That’s all for now. I have no time, but I’m sooo tempted to draw the four of them in fashion inspired by their hero forms waking down the street “late with iced coffee”. I can see the designs in my head already. I hope to see fan art of all four of them, and I really hope the show will develop all of them at least a little this episode.

[jasongracedefenseattorney]

okay because i refuse to let it go, here’s my favorite ON THEME outfits from the MET Gala.

first, Jeremy Pope. His outfit, as you can see from the background, is a reference to the clothes worn by the slaves who built this country. The shoes are made to look like hooves to reference the cattle-like treatment slaves endured. One of the few outfits that made such a clear reference to the darker parts of American history and a gorgeous outfit overall.

Next, Quannah Chasinghorse. Not only did she look absolutely stunning, she made sure her Native heritage was an important part of her look. Chasinghorse is from the Lakota and Hän Gwich’in tribes but spent much of her life on the Navajo Nation. She piled on lots of turquoise and silver jewelry, both of which are important to the Navajo Nation. “The turquoise jewelry represents protection, guidance, and love in Navajo culture,” she said. The designer also chose a billowy gold dress that he said gave her the appearance of wings “as if she had just flown in from the heavens.” Honestly, the fact that I hadn’t seen this outfit when I did my HoO MET Gala post enrages me because she would have been a great Piper.

Next, Nikkie de Jager. For her MET Gala look, like those I referenced before, she decided to make her identity a key part of her look. Her dress and headpiece were inspired by the famous picture of Marsha P. Johnson with a flower crown, and the ribbon at the bottom says “PAY IT NO MIND”, which is a famous quote of Johnson’s. Marsha P. Johnson is one of the most iconic figures in American queer history as an openly trans woman in a time when it was dangerous to be so. She is also widely believed to have thrown the first brick at Stonewall, the famous riot that helped pave the way for most civil rights for the LGBTQ community.

Next, Lili Reinhart. Her dress is actually not about her identity or history, though it is gorgeous. Instead, she embraced the American theme by including the state flower of each and every one of the 50 states of America.

Next, Barbie Ferreira. Her dress is a modern twist on the classic 1920’s flapper dress look.

Alton Mason came in a gorgeous white suit inspired by the classic Michael Jackson look. Honestly I expected more of this and I’m surprised with how few references to classic American pop culture there were.

Amanda Gorman wore this beautiful dress, which is inspired by the Statue of Liberty but with a classic starry blue patriotic twist.

Okay and those were the only looks I really liked as far as I’ve seen so I’m done I guess. There were a lot of great outfits but so few people stayed on theme, which is a real shame considering there was so much material to use: Elvis, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Rosie the Riveter, Founding Fathers, Gone With The Wind, Burlesque, early 20s film stars, etc. There was literally so much wonderful fashion inspiration that went SEVERLY underrepresented and it’s a shame.

185. porky’s hero agency (1937)

release date: december 4th, 1937

series: looney tunes

director: bob clampett

starring: mel blanc (porky, emperor jones), tedd pierce (gorgon, assistant), sara berner (porky’s mom)

the final porky cartoon for 1937, and what a busy year it’s been for him! hard to believe he had an entirely different voice, look, and demeanor just 8 months prior. even then, his character still had much to explore, as we see here—in this cartoon, he’s cast as a child again. curiously, bob clampett is often credited as the one who refined his personality into the one we know today (he did give him his iconic suit and tie), but, like everything else, it was more of a collaborative exploration by all of the directors.

the title card is one of the more interesting title cards in the warner bros. repertoire—it’s a photo of a porky statuette! bob clampett would make several statues during his time at WB and distribute them to his top animators. while the statue in the credits is painted over, you can view an unpainted model here!

here, porky dreams of the wonders of ancient greece, prancing around as the mythological messenger parkykarkus. however, a gorgon has her sights set on turning him into stone, and it requires some quick thinking from porky to weasel his way out of this mess.

bobe cannon animates the expositional sequence, with porky propped up in bed, sucked into a giant book full of greek myths. his mother (offscreen) tells him it’s time to go to sleep, but porky objects, protesting that he was just at the exciting part. cannon’s animation is easy to spot with his trademark buck teeth, yet the gestures he gives porky--finger points, turning the page, etc.--give him a nice dose of youthful energy as he recaps the story, telling tales of gorgons and “great great great” greek heroes.

nevertheless, a disembodied hand turns out the light, dismissing porky’s protests. he heaves a resigned sigh, lamenting how he wishes he could be a great greek hero. 

the cartoon doesn’t make any attempts to keep the dream sequence a surprise--instead, the face of the book’s cover takes up the entire screen, the pillars emblazoned on the front melting to life as we fade into ancient greece. and, as to be expected, our favorite porcine hero proudly stands in front of the building, proudly advertising “HERO FOR HIRE AGENCY -- PORKYKARKUS PROP.”

porkykarkus is a play on parkykarkus (”park your carcass”), a character on eddie cantor’s radio show “the chase & sanborn hour”. truck into porky’s services as he narrates over the specials:

“has anybody any eh-deh-deah-deah-dragons you want seh-seh-sleh-slay-slaye--rubbed out? or maybe ya have some, uh, fair meh-mai-meh-maide--honeys ya want rescued! it’s a peh-pleasure. is your daughter safe? phone eh-peh-porkykarkus at olympia 2222!”

porky’s narration, as always, is fun to listen to, and the physical advertisement has its own charm and appeal, with discounts and deals on certain rescues. not only that, but it’s a damn smart way to save money, having just the narration over the still frame. smart thinking!

conveniently, porky gets a phone call, sparking the tried and true “gear up for a big sprint but merely tinker on over to your destination” gag. as porky answers the phone, filling us in by repeating the hidden dialogue from the other line, we find out it’s the emperor--he wants one hero to go.

chuck jones’ layouts stick out quite strongly throughout this cartoon, especially in the human designs. porky’s statue of mercury is no exception--the bulbous nose and rounded body construction are all surefire trademarks of his work. porky grabs the messenger’s hat and winged shoes from the statue, never once taking a beat to stop as he hobbles along, dressing as he prepares to head out. woodblock sounds simulate the sound of his hooves clopping, but also add an extra jaunty jive to the merry score of “have you got any castles?” in the background, the cartoon’s motif. it would also be a merry melody courtesy of frank tashlin not even a year later.

with that, porky takes off, soaring in the skies like a pro with his winged shoes. if the scene wasn’t appealing enough with the overhead layouts, the animation of porky steadying himself is wonderfully smooth and fun--the cherry on top. he circles the palace where the emperor is located, swooping down to his destination. complete with airplane sound effects, of course.

“howdy, empy!” another bulbous-nosed jones character silences porky from behind his armchair. emperor jones (boy, who could that name reference, i wonder?) speaks in a ridiculously hilarious dialect, completed with a thick accent: “shh! i’m making a fireside chat with my sheeps!” his voice then slips into a rooseveltian draw as he coos “my friends, grecians and customers, this is emperor jones speaking...”

pan to the audience, which consists of a sea of smiling statues. this entire speech sequence is wonderful--not only is his terrible grammar terribly amusing, (”statistics show... what last season at this time was population in greece from 6,000 with 500 with 54 people, with 17 statues.”) but little touches such as one of the audience statues roasting marshmallows and later a hotdog over the fireplace, the emperor making his audience clap by pulling on ropes tied to their arms, and so forth make the entire charade highly amusing with lots of details to look out for. porky standing idly in the background, awkwardly fidgeting as he tries not to intrude is a great little piece of character animation as well.

the emperor gives the skinny, all while chowing down on a hotdog: a gorgon has been turning more and more people into statues, and they need a hero to steal her life-restoring needle in order to turn all of the statues back into humans again. the hero he has in mind is, of course, porky, who bashfully accepts the offer. when the emperor asks those in favor to raise their right hand, he pulls on a lever that causes all of the statues to raise their hands in unison, including a hand on a nearby clock. with a handshake, empy concludes “it’s a deal!”

one of the most impressive pieces of animation in the cartoon (i actually dedicated an entire drawing to it!) is when the emperor sends porky on his way, who waves goodbye as he flies through the air with his winged shoes. just as he tips his hat, he knocks into a pillar, which sends him tumbling upside down, but still airborne. the wings on his shoes form hands as they shake their fists in the glory of the good landing, with porky flashing a cheeky grin to the audience before spiraling lower in the air, regaining his balance, and barreling onward towards a smoldering volcano. the animation is full of life and character--though porky is consistently jolly in the B&W clampett cartoons, the grin towards the camera as he prides himself in his save is a great little touch of personality. slowly but surely, bits of character are now becoming more defined.

a gag that took me just now to recognize it--porky swoops into the heart of the volcano, where we spot the source of the black fumes pouring out the top: the gorgon statue factory. a merry score of “you’ve got something there” serves as some easy listening as we’re treated to a sign gag:

outside of the factory is a human picket fence, comprised of familiar faces: statues of bobe cannon, norm mccabe, john carey, bob clampett himself and chuck jones surround the area. directly outside of the factory is the frozen statue of a salesman with his foot in the door--the joke is not only amusing, but the pose is quite strong and readable, too. though nowhere near the dynamism of frank tashlin’s poses in the mid ‘40s, clampett’s poses in this cartoon are quite defined and exaggerated for the time period. this is especially sharp in the scenes with the emperor.

porky knocks on the door held ajar by the ceramic statue’s foot, holding out an envelope. “telegram for the guh-geh-gee-geh-gee-gor-geh--” a hand snags the envelope out of porky’s grip, causing him to mutter “aww, nuh-neh-nee-nuh-neh-neh-nut--shucks,” a phrase he echoed in clampett’s previous entry, rover’s rival.

we transition to the inside of the factory, where we see the gorgon herself, positioned in front of a camera, awaiting to take “pictures” of her models. tedd pierce voices the gorgon, whose vocal stylings are a parody of tizzie lish, bill comstock’s character on al pearce and his gang. interestingly, the cartoon before this, the woods are full of cuckoos, featured a caricature of lish as well, also voiced by pierce. 

clampett and pierce’s comedic timing is sharp--not nearly as sharp as tashlin’s timing in the woods are full of cuckoos, but abundantly amusing nonetheless. the gorgon asks for a boy--”a sorta young-ish one”--and in comes a decrepit old man who can hardly hold himself up. the gorgon waits for the man to assume his position on the podium where his picture will be taken, singing a pitchy rendition of “am i in love?“, another homage to the characteristics displayed by lish’s character on the radio.

the gorgon snaps her photo, which turns the shaky old man into a stone statue at once, cheekily labeled “ANTIQUE --  $60,000 (P.S.: 000,000)” before he’s yanked off of the podium with a cane. 

“now let’s try a group picture.” you know it’s a ‘30s cartoon if the three stooges come waddling in--they made their caricatured, cartoon debut in the 1934 film the miller’s daughter, notorious for being chuck jones’ first animation credit. as expected, they all beat the tar out of each other while on the podium, rendered immobile only through the power of medusa’s camera. they turn into the three wise monkeys, labeled “3 MONKEYS OF JAPAN -- MADE IN GREECE”. 

norm mccabe’s animation is easy to spot in the next scene with porky, characterized by his signature double eyebrows. porky knocks on a door, parroting a favorite catchphrase from the al pearce show that frequented many a clampett cartoon: “i hope she’s eh-eh-at home, i hope, i hope, i hope, i hope, i hope...”

porky shakes the hand of the assistant, unfortunately a blackface caricature (save for the voice, who is just tedd pierce speaking in a deep, suave voice) as he greets “welcome, stranger. won’t you come in?” before porky has time to answer, he’s yanked through the iron bars of the door and placed neatly in line for the photoshoot, where he peeks through the door to see the action inside.

a pile of men form a pyramid, where the camera turns them into a literal statue of a pyramid, with some slight imperfections. “aw, shucks!” laments the gorgon. “you moved!” she approaches them with her life restoring needle, allowing the men to form into the proper position, maintaining good balance. she gets her “genuine egyptian statue”, quipping “ought to make a handy paperweight!”

the assistant informs porky that he’s next. porky backs up anxiously, echoing a short-lived catchphrase of his from the joe dougherty era: “nuh-neh-no! eh-nn-nee-no! a-a thousand times no!” the decision to make his thoughts visible (his head is slapped onto that of a piggy bank’s) is playful, and also reflects just how big of an influence comics had on bob clampett’s work: comic artists such as milt gross and george lichty have been cited by clampett as inspirations. the george lichty influence is definitely noticeable in rod scribner’s animation under bob clampett, as we’ll discover in the coming years.

in the midst of his panic, porky backs into a statue of "dick a. powello” (dick powell and apollo), causing it to break. but, rather than fuss over the mess, porky uses the opportunity to hatch an idea instead.

in comes strolling porky, concealed by powello’s upper body and a blankett hiding his hooves. the triumphant score of “he was her man” and the gorgon’s smitten woos makes the scene hilarious as is, but the blanket falling off and revealing porky’s pudgy little hooves is the icing on the comedic cake.

porky perches himself on a conveniently placed couch, where the gorgon approaches him. “pardon me, is this seat taken?” she doesn’t wait a wink before snuggling right up to him, a heart symbolizing her affections popping in the air. though clampett would play with typography at times and maintain an overarchingly jovial mood to his cartoons, it’s an odd thing to see him play with comic-like visuals in this manner, such as porky physically envisioning himself as a piggy bank or the heart from the gorgon. i wish he had done it more in this nature!

with the gorgon too close for comfort, porky uses this as an opportunity to grab the gorgon’s life-restoring needle, dangling from her neck and lying against her body. it wouldn’t be a clampett cartoon without sexual innuendos--porky reaches aimlessly around for the needle, prompting the gorgon to let out a shriek, cooing “why, mr. a POWELLo!” 

she smothers the ceramic head in kisses, giving him a nice lipstick finish to boot as she pretends the statue has given her a ring. her ecstasy is hilarious and WONDERFULLY conveyed through strong, rubbery poses worth freeze-framing. picturing porky’s befuddlement is another humor within itself. 

finally, porky’s disguise is revealed when the gorgon literally crushes the statue in an embrace, stone crumbling around him as he desperately slips out of her grip. as the gorgon makes threats to call the cops, reciting the WB favorite catchphrase of “calling all cars! calling all cars!”, porky makes with the needle and jabs it in various statues, warning them “uh-geh-uh-get goin’! i-i-eh-it’s the guh-geh-geh-eh-geh-gorgon!”

as the gorgon chases porky with her camera, he continues to revive a barrage of statues: the antique, the famed discus thrower (who throws himself out of the scene rather than the discus), the man from the end of the trail statue, who exits riding his horse like a merry go round (a nod to friz freleng’s sweet sioux), a woman who marches off with popeye’s forearms--note the bobe cannon statue in the back here--and a mermaid who unzips her fin and makes a run for it. the highlight of the entire montage is when porky approaches two temples (the two of them together labeled “shirley temple”) and injects the needle into them, prompting the temples to use their pillars as legs and run for the hills.

the chase reaches its climax as the gorgon pursues porky with a movie camera, turning the crank ferociously as she runs. her plan works--porky slows down, freezing in mid-air as the gorgon cries “hold it!” thus, the gorgon pins porky to the ground, who tries his hardest to fight back, but ultimately flailing around as she commands him to open his eyes.  

we melt into the present, where we find porky’s mother in place of the gorgon, telling him softly to wake up. he does so, after she pries one of his eyes opens. relieved that it was all a dream, he embraces his mother, prompting a happy end and an iris out.

this cartoon has a soft spot in my heart--it was one of the first LT cartoons i saw on this whole venture. i thought i was the smartest person alive, understanding the three stooges, popeye, and shirley temple references. who knew just how much i had (and still have!) to learn! though even without my sentimental biases, this still stands as a very good cartoon.

as i mentioned previously, the poses in this are full of elasticity and energy, especially in the emperor and the gorgon. porky does a very nice job as well--little pieces of animation such as him fidgeting awkwardly while the emperor rambles on, swinging from side to side as he’s offered the job to be a hero, etc. etc. are full of charm and character. while his personality isn’t the most electric in comparison to characters like bugs and daffy, it’s the little things like these that really make porky stand out. with him, a little subtlety goes a long way, and that’s why he’s one of my favorites. he’s so reserved in comparison to such a wild cast of characters that his timidness actually shines through and sets him apart! (though, on the other hand, he can still have quite the personality, as we’ll discover!)

personally, the only gripes i have with this cartoon is the blackface caricatured assistant (which, in comparison to some cartoons we’ve seen and still have yet to see, is relatively mild, but uncomfortable nonetheless). the jokes, while corny at times, still hit, the animation is full of life and vigor, and the short as a whole has a lot of charm, whimsy, and personality. it has my seal of approval! go check it out!

Krenko’s Guide to Pokemon: Tyrogue Line ( Hitmon- )

POKEMON SHOULD NOT WEAR PANTS.

DESIGN: 

I’m fine with how humanlike this looks. I’m fine with the bands on his wrists that look like bandages, and around his waist, but he’s clearly wearing shorts and shoes. I’d much rather a design that gave the illusion of shorts and shoes, like making his hip-section very furry and giving him hooves like a satyr.  I accept the simple appearance in the early games, but it could really have used a redesign at some point.

I do love the way the side of its head looks like it’s wearing protection over its ears. Tyrogue is very clearly some kid ready to wrestle in school, and I’m totally on board with that... but actual clothes are wrong.

My other issue with Tyrogue is that it’s a male-only line without a female equivalent. See, female-only lines make sense because of how Pokemon breeding works. Sure, there’s no male Chansey, but that’s because every male Clefable, Wigglytuff, and Grimmsnarl is lining up to fertilize that egg. But with Tyrogue, there’s... nowhere for Tyrogues to come from other than Dittos.

Now, this may explain the relative scarcity of the Tyrogue, and maybe they are all the result of dittos, but it’s really weird to me if that’s the case. You’d think by now we could have a female Pokemon that could lay Tyrogue eggs the way Illumise can lay Volbeat eggs.

Now, Tyrogue has three evolved forms, and the first numerically is Hitmonlee. Hitmonlee is made of kicking, and its body really shows that. It doesn’t wear clothes, it doesn’t have a head, and those leg bands stretch for super kicks.  Now, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this thing in various mythologies, the headless man with a face on its chest, but Hitmonlee’s just got eyes. It’s a pretty simple design when you think about it, but it’s cool and striking and looks like a monster that fights like a man but better.

Hitmonchan has boxing gloves, a skirt, and booties. Look, I’ll get on a lot of Pokemon’s case for being too humanoid or whatever, but HItmonchan is seriously just some dude. His shoulder pads don’t even look like part of him, they look like he’s wearing them. I can’t even begin to imagine what a Hitmonchan might be that it just looks like that in nature.  Its Pokedex entry mentions it has the “spirit of a pro boxer” and while that seems metaphorical, but when you see entries like “A Hitmonchan is said to possess the spirit of a boxer who aimed to become the world champion” you have to wonder if this is one of those supernatural things like how so many Ghost pokemon are actually dead humans.

Hitmonchan is an interesting design for a creature in a video game, but it’s not a good design for a creature in a world, which is what Pokemon need to be. I just can’t accept that your Tyrogue grew up into this without you buying gloves and booties for it.

Hitmontop mostly fixes the issue of inexplicable clothes. Yes, it looks like it’s wearing some sort of V-Neck leotard like a professional fighter might, but as it doesn’t pop off the Hitmontop’s body in any way, it could just be blue fur which is pretty normal in the Pokemon setting. 

I don’t particularly like Hitmontop’s design overall- I think it looks too toylike, and much less badass than Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee. It feels like something you could just avoid by taking a step to the side. But unlike Hitmonchan, nothing in its design actively offends my sensibilities. It just feels more like a middle form than a final form.

EVOLUTIONS: 

I mostly love the design of this evolutionary line. While HItmonchan and Hitmonlee were introduced in gen 1 as a matched set, Tyrogue and Hitmontop came in generation 2. Tyrogue is the best use of a Baby Pokemon, adding a pre-evolution to turn two previously unattached Pokemon into a branching path. They haven’t done that again since, even though there’s multiple paired lines that could really use it (most notably Tauros/Miltank and Cubone/Kangaskhan.) Also, Tyrogue evolves at level 20, but what determines its form isn’t some weird item or what time it is, but simply how its stats fall out. This means that to a novice it’ll seem random which one you get, but a skilled trainer can ensure Hitmonchan or HItmonlee (and a more skilled trainer can ensure Hitmontop.) 

Also, with base stats of 455 each, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee are much more deserving of getting a Baby Pokemon than things like Pichu and Jigglypuff, whose baby forms don’t do anything for gameplay but get in the way.

TYPING: 

Unlike most Pokemon with multiple forms, all three of Tyrogue’s evolutions are pure FIghting type. Fighting is pretty evenly balanced offensively and defensively, and is notably super-effective against Normal and Steel types. The lack of a second type really hurts, though. Fighting is bad against six types, and that’s not something you want to see on all your STAB attacks.

STATS: 

All three Hitmons are physical attackers with 50 HP and 110 Special Defense, but the rest of their stats vary.  Hitmonlee has a mere 53 defense, making it the most fragile of the three, but its 120 Attack and its 87 speed make it the fastest and most damaging. Hitmonchan has a lower attack and lower speed, but higher defense, and Hitmontop has the lowest attack and speed of all three, but a 95 defense which actually compensates for its low HP. 

None of these stat arrays are particularly impressive, but they all have solid attack stats, and their high special defense means their low HP is only a problem when confronted with physical attackers. Speeds for all three are about average.

ABILITIES: 

Interestingly enough, Tyrogue’s abilities are different than all three of its evolutions... but Tyrogue’s incredibly weak so there’s no reason to talk about building it.

Hitmonchan has Keen Eye (prevents accuracy loss) and Inner Focus (prevents Flinching and Intimidate) but what sells it as a Pokemon is Iron Fist, an ability that increases its punch damage by 20%. It’s not Earth shattering, but 20% on attacks is a very solid boost and Hitmonchan learns a lot of punches.

Hitmonlee can get Limber to prevent Paralysis, but nobody cares. Its other options are much better. Reckless adds 20% damage to any move with Recoil or a Crash chance. Unfortunately, Hitmonlee only has one of these. Fortunately, it’s Hitmonlee’s signature attack, High Jump Kick. Hitmonlee’s other ability takes a bit more work to use, but is even better in competetive battles. Unburden doubles Hitmonlee’s speed if its held item is lost or used.  While berries are an option, a White Herb can be forced with Close Combat, turning Hitmonlee into a potent sweeper as long as it survives that first attack.

Hitmontop has the basically useless Steadfast (increase Speed when flinching), but has the ever-powerful Intimidate, as well as Technician. With Hitmontop already being the most defensive of the three, Intimidate just makes it a bit more survivable by lowering enemy attacks. Technician increases the damage of any moves with a base damage of 60 or lower, and Hitmontop has a variety of attacks that can take advantage of this. Most notably among these is Triple Axel, a three-hit move with an increasing power of 20, 40, and 60. With Technician, these hits become 30, 60, and 90 for a total of 180 power, albeit with problematic accuracy.

Art by Zilvan

MOVES: 

Despite all three being physical attackers, all three use different Fighting type moves. Hitmonlee gets its signature High Jump Kick with Reckless, or can use Close Combat + White Herb with Unburden. Hitmonchan uses Drain Punch. Iron Fist bumps its attack to an effective 90, and the healing increases proportionately.  Hitmontop, unfortunately, doesn’t have any great options, so Close Combat is generally the way to go. Revenge is an option with its slower speed and Technician fixing its ‘failure state,’ but unfortunately Revenge and Technician don’t stack if Revenge activates.

Coverage comes next. Fighting type is resisted by Bug, Fairy, Flying, Poison, and Psychic, and Ghosts are outright immune.  Hitmontop’s Triple Axel is going to work just fine against all of those, even without Technician. 

Hitmonlee has a decent lineup of options- Blaze Kick, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Poison Jab, Knock Off- but which you pick is really dependent on what you expect to face and what the rest of your team has coverage for. Earthquake’s the strongest, but it still doesn’t work against Flying or Bug types.  Stone Edge covers them both, but is a much weaker move. Of course, Hitmonlee could take both. 

Hitmonchan has great coverage options with Iron Fist enhanced elemental punches, plus the aforementioned Earthquake and Stone Edge, as well as Throat Chop.  There’s no real right or wrong answer here, just be prepare for whatever you’re most worried about.

Tyrogue’s evolutions share a lot of utility moves. Rapid Spin, Mach Punch, and Bulk Up can be useful on any of them. For each of the three, I’d suggest a build of a fighting move, an off-type move for coverage, Rapid Spin for Rapid Spinning, and then whatever feels right to you of Bulk Up, Mach Punch, or another coverage move.

OVERALL: 

Despite the three Pokemon here being very similar, they each have abilities and stat differences that give them different niches, with Hitmonchan’s being the best defined. I do wish Hitmonlee got more than one attack that worked with Reckless and Hitmontop’s signature attack were stronger (triple kick still only ends up at 90 power with Technician), but overall they’re not too bad, just a bit on the fragile side. A 10 or 20 point boost to each of their HP stats would make me feel a lot better, and small stat boosts between gens is something Pokemon occasionally does. 

Hitmonchan and Tyrogue wearing clothes is really dumb, though, as are the ecological issues of a species that can’t reproduce without the help of a DItto.

In the future, I’d like to see a trio of regional forms for them, granting each a second element, but different from each other. Bonus points if the alternate Hitmonchan has Protean for his elemental punches. That’d be a cool Pokemon.

Unexpected Encounters. Chapter 10: The Search (Part 3)

Washimi and Gori were in the east of the city, they had just left Gori's apartment. The two friends reflected calm in their faces and ways of walking as when they were at work. They passed everywhere with their eyes fixed ahead.

"How long do you think it will take us to find them?" Gori asked.

"I ignore it. This city is very big, so they could be anywhere. We could take hours on this," Washimi replied.

"Well, if that's the case, then I think we should start there" said the gorilla pointing to the park, which was the same one they had visited the day before.

"And why there?" asked the eagle.

"If that was where Koka and Hana found the emeralds, perhaps we could find some clue of the others who came to this dimension because of them" said Gori.

Well, not a bad idea. Then let's go" said Washimi.

Both friends came to the park. It was not as crowded as the day before, and more considering what had happened the day before. It was noticeable that for that reason there were not many children, but there were few. Although it was noted that they were being cautious for some situation that seems suspicious that put them in danger.

"Washimi I have thought something" said the gorilla.

Her friend watched her without saying anything.

"Maybe those beings if they want to use my App when they find out about it."

"Don't tell me you've been thinking about that since yesterday."

"Of course, after years ago the app said that Haida and Retsuko were soul mates and it was 100 percent correct. And since it has come to unite other couples, I thought it could be extended to beings from other universes".

"Perhaps you think that the beings who are lost in this universe are at this time more interested in finding a partner than in going home."

"Of course there is, there is always time to find love and be happy with that other person."

"You never change".

Washimi lowered her head when she suddenly noticed that her communicator and Gori's were blinking.

"Gori, our communicators" said the eagle as she and the gorilla looked at her arms.

"That means they are close. I'm going to show you my application".

"Concentrate."

She could see those who were in the park were a lot of parents with their children, but she could see that some of them had unusual coat colors. They thought it must be them, so they calmly approached. There were a total of 5 families and each of them had children.

The first was a family of two male spouses who had two sons:

One was an orange bear and afro hair with dark orange sideburns. He wore a yellow disco shirt and pants and cream and orange platform shoes.

The other was also a bear, but he was cream-colored, wearing a red hat, a red robe, red pants, and red slippers.

One of the children was a cream-colored bear like the second adult bear. He wore a small yellow and red cap with a propeller on top, a long-sleeved yellow shirt, red pants, red and yellow shoes.

The other child was also a cream colored bear like the second adult bear and the other little one, although unlike the other bear this was a baby, it also had orange hair like the first adult bear, only this baby had curly hair and it was not an afro. He wore a long-sleeved red button-down shirt, yellow pants, and red and yellow shoes.

The second family if it was of two male and female spouses who had a son:

One was a green bear. He wore a green beret with a colored logo of varying shades of orange. He wore a button-down shirt and green military pants, black shoes, and a gray identification tag. On his shirt were orange stripes on his shoulders denoting his rank as a sergeant.

The other was a red porcupine, his quills were a darker red color which were full of flake-like dander. He wore a pink shirt and skirt and light blue shoes.

The boy was a red bear, which had a green abdomen. He wore a green beret with a colored logo of different shades of orange like his father's. He wore a white shirt, black pants and shoes, and a blue jacket.

The third was another family of two male spouses who had a daughter and a son:

The first was a green chameleon with three dark green lines between its eyes, above and below them. He wore a green beret with a colored logo of varying shades of orange. He wore a green military button-down shirt and cream pants, black shoes, and a gray identification tag.

The second was a cream-colored mouse with black ears, they had a stereotypical French-style mustache and black eyebrows. He wore a green beret with a colored logo of varying shades of orange. He wore a green military button-down shirt and cream pants, black shoes, and a gray identification tag. His ears were wrapped in white bandages.

The girl was a dark purple cat, she wore an orange long-sleeved shirt, a green skirt, pink socks and black shoes.

The boy was a green mouse with three cream-colored lines between his eyes and black ears, although unlike the girl, the boy was a baby. He wore a long-sleeved green shirt, blue pants, and black shoes.

The fourth family was another of two male and female spouses who had a daughter:

The first was a sky-blue boar, which had black hooves instead of hands and feet. He wore a dark blue sailor suit with white, including a white hat with a pink stripe, and black shoes.

The other was a purple sheep, with some white woolly hair on its head. She wore a white wool sweater, pants, and white shoes. She wore a purple bow on her head.

The girl was a hybrid, her fur was purple, she inherited her mother's nose, shaggy hair, hands and feet, while she inherited her father's ears, tail, and fangs. . She wore a dark blue dress, with a white ribbon at the waist, and black shoes.

The girl carried in one of her arms a green pickle that had arms, legs, eyes, a mouth and a stereotypical French-style mustache. She also wore a black top hat with a blue stripe. At first glance the pickle looked like a toy.

The fifth and final was another family of two male spouses who had a son

The first was a sea-water-colored sea otter, which had three whiskers on either side of its head. This otter was missing his right hand, instead he used a hook. Both legs were missing and instead had wooden legs. He was missing his right eye and instead had an eye patch. He was wearing a red and white striped shirt, which was ripped at the sleeves and bottom. She is wearing black pants and a black pirate hat with the design of a skull with white crossbones.

The second was a purple deer, whose antlers were pink. He wore white mime makeup, his cheeks were pink, over his eyes he had dark purple makeup. He wore a purple and white striped long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and purple shoes.

The boy was a hybrid, his coat was aquamarine, his cheeks were pink, he had a deer tail, but it was aquamarine on top and purple on the bottom. He had small horns that were beginning to grow on the top of his head and three whiskers on either side of his head. He wore a torn red and purple shirt on the arms and bottom, black pants, purple shoes and a black pirate hat, but without the skull and bones design. This child was a baby.

Something that all these families had in common was that most had rabbit teeth that protruded from their mouths, with the exception of the chameleon, the wild boar, and the hybrid between wild boar and sheep. They all had heart-shaped pink noses, except the chameleon and the boar. The irises in everyone's eyes were shaped like a pacman, except for the chameleon, the two mice, and the cat.

Just when they were about to reach the families, four of the children began to run in various directions while playing, while the three babies stayed playing with their respective parents watching the other children.

"Remember, you have to speak calmly with them, maybe they are still not used to being in this place" said Washimi.

"I understand" Gori said with all seriousness.

They both approached the adults. When they noticed their presence they were watching.

"Good morning" said the eagle.

"Good morning" all the adults replied.

"You come from another dimension and have been trapped in this universe for 3 months, right?" the gorilla said suddenly.

"Gori, I told you that we had to talk things calmly" said Washimi.

"Umm, excuse me. You know what that white light was that brought us here" asked the green bear.

"Yes, those who sent us to look for them explained it to us" replied the eagle.

"Well, before you explain it to us, wait a moment," said the aquamarine sea otter and then called the children who were playing.

When they heard them, they approached.

"Something happens?" asked the little cream-colored bear.

"These ladies are going to explain how we got here" replied the cream-colored mouse.

Really?" said the 4 children sitting on the laps of their respective parents.

Gori and Washimi told everything they knew to the 5 families in front of them.

"So we have to wait for the missing emeralds to be found?" asked the green chameleon.

"Yes, at the moment those who sent us to look for them have 3 in their possession" replied the eagle.

"Well, now that you know everything, you could tell us their names," said the gorilla.

"I'm Disco Bear and this is my Pop husband" said the orange bear with orange afro hair.

"Pleasure. And they are our two sons: Cub and Rory" said the cream bear, pointing first to the little cream bear with a hat on his head and then to the cream baby bear with orange hair.

"I'm Flippy and this is my wife Flaky" said the green bear.

"And this is our son Fluffy" said the red porcupine pointing to the bear with red color and green abdomen.

"I'm Sneaky and this is my husband Mouse Ka-Boom" said the green chameleon.

"This is our adopted daughter Denisse and our son Bomb" said the cream colored mouse pointing first to the dark purple cat and then to the baby green mouse.

"I'm Truffles and this is my wife Lammy" said the sky blue boar.

"This is our daughter Bella and this is Mr. Pickles" said the purple sheep pointing to the purple hybrid and the pickle.

"I'm Russell and this is my mate Mime. And this is our son Robby" said the aquamarine sea otter pointing to the purple deer and the aquamarine hybrid.

The purple deer didn't speak as it was a mime, but still he greeted them with a hand gesture.

After Washimi and Gori introduced themselves. They didn't find it strange to meet same-sex couples and with children, since they already knew several such families.

Then they asked how they got to that universe.

"Well, most of us had gone to pick up the children from school after classes finished, everything was normal. We are all neighbors, so we would go home together," said Lammy.

"Along the way they met Mime and me who were walking Robby and were on our way home. Everything was normal like any other day" said Russell.

"But when we were in front of our house, that strange light appeared that enveloped us all in less than 10 seconds" said Flaky.

"When we woke up, although we were separated, fortunately the children were not left alone, since Flaky and Lammy were with them when they got here," said Pop.

"It took us about two days to meet again, and since we got here we have stayed in a hotel with the money we have gotten by finding certain jobs that we can do," said Sneaky.

"Well, at least we know they haven't had a difficult time here," Washimi said.

At that moment Gori's communicator began to ring therefore he answered.

"Hi. Oh, it's your Retsuko. Yes, we have already found them. And you? How good! They left? Oh I see. Well, if we can meet there. Goodbye" said Gori after finishing the call.

"What was Retsuko saying?" asked the eagle.

"She said that she, Fenneko and Judy already found a group. She also said that they contacted Haida, Ookami and Nick and also found another group. I told them that we too" said the gorilla.

"That is a relief."

"But she told me that Sonic and his friends left, and Jack went with them. It seems they found the location of the master emerald and went looking for it before Eggman finds it."

"I hope they can find it in time."

"I hope so too. He told me that in the meantime we can go to my apartment to meet with the others".

They both turned to the 5 families.

"And what do you say?" Washimi asked.

"Do you want to come with us?" Gori asked.

They all looked at each other and agreed with a nod. The group left the park with Washimi and Gori in front, while behind them were the 5 families carrying their respective children in their arms.

"It's a shame" Gori said.

"What thing?" Washimi asked.

"That all of them are happily united, and they don't need my app and that the children are too young to use it."

"I think you need a new hobby."

After that they continued walking back towards Gori's apartment.

Characters: Namjoon x reader, Taeyhung x reader's friend

"Morning, Y/N," Namjoon smiles as he enters your kitchen. "Morning Joonie, what are you doing here?"

"oh...uh....your dad sent me over to make a delivery...."

"oh, okay. Come on, sit down and eat," you gesture to the seat across from you at the table and wipe your mouth with the cloth napkin before sitting it beside your plate which was piled over with cheesy grits, sausage, scrambled eggs and some leftover roasted potatoes from supper. You slide your chair out to stand and he comes over to sit as you walk to go grab him a plate. "We had some garlic roasted potatoes last night, want some? The garden out back worked nice for the garlic and the potatoes in the crops came out nice this year so dad brought some home and I made it"

"Yeah, sure. Thankyou.....so the crops are good?"

"Oh yeah, and Mary Lou just had a calf last night and dad says I can keep this one"

"oh yeah? You happy?"

"Totally, you know I try not to get too overly attached usually...."

"Yeah, I know, and I know you've wanted to keep one since you were little," he smiles over at you. You can't help but giggle and jump in place, "I know~," you clap your hands. "You do know you have two horses right?" He laughs a little and rubs the back of his neck, sitting his hat in his lap. "Yes, I love them Cortney and Karen. Shush, let me be happy," you playfully scold him as you continue making his breakfast. "Okay, how're they doing?"

"They're great and Karen has a show soon so I'm getting her mane done and some new shoes-oh! Want to come boot shopping with me? I want to get a new pair so they're shiny, I've been working in mine and they're muddy and I want some more jeans with the studded embroidered pocket designs"

"Shopping?" He makes a face that's a mix of disgust and uncertainty. "Please, it's for Karen's show and my friend is coming to visit"

"Since when do you have friends other than me and Tae?"

"Since about six months ago and haha cute, I'm feeding you," you bring the plate to him and then pour him some juice before sitting back down to eat.

"Maybe, I'm pretty busy but when do you want to go?" "Well, her show is next week and Jeff is coming then too so maybe....Sunday, after church?"

"Yeah, that works, we can go after we leave and get food....Jeff," he did not like the idea of it being a guy. You had all too recently ended a really bad relationship. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Who was he kidding, he didn't like the idea of anyone with you that wasn't him, but, he wanted to protect you after your last boyfriend. "I know what you're thinking, and yes. Jeff needs this"

"Alright then, this is good, just orange juice?" "Yeah, I need to run to the store after work. Want to come with?" "Can't, delivery." "A long one huh, well do you need anything? I can shop for you and take it over"

"Uh no no yes, yes, I need everything, all of it, groceries," he laughs, "do you know where the spare key to the house is?" "My bra, you gave me one last year when you went to Florida, remember?" "Oh yeah, alright," he had already finished, "can I meet the new addition before I start the day?" "Sure!" You were already running out of the door. "Wait, we gotta do the dish-" "I'll do it when I get back!! Come-on!" You grab his hand a pull him.

"This is Mochi," you introduce him. "She's cute," he smiles and pets her and her mother, "alright," he stands back up and stretches. "Hi Karen, hi Courtney," he waves to your jet black Friesian horse with the gorgeous wavy mane, the ever graceful and snooty Karen and the tan Mustang with black from the hooves to the knees like long socks and dark black hair that have a red highlight at the tips in the sun, the ever goofy and stubborn Courtney in the stalls nearby in the barn. "Well, sun is getting up so I should get going. Where are they?" "Uhm, oh! These," you guide him to the cattle he was here to get and he starts loading them up while you wash the dishes from breakfast and put the leftovers away.

"Bye," you wave to each other as you're both heading out for the day. You were already excited for Sunday.

"Morning," Taeyhung scrolls up, he worked with you. "Hey Tae, oh, we decided, she's coming next week on Thursday"

"Awesome, you've been excited. Jeffree right? I have a room ready for her at my place, can't have her stay at a hotel" "Cool, great, thanks you're a sweetheart, I'll tell her"

The next few days passed as always, only now you were excited because you had Karen's show so you got to prepare for that, got her groomed and everything and you were making arrangements for your guest, Jeff, your friend online you met through a mutual liking of a band. As always, days were tiring but Taeyhung made them interesting. The three of you, you two and Namjoon and had been together for as long as you can remember since Taeyhung moved to town when he was six and you all went to the same church. He was a good guy, they both were.

"Night Lil, see you in the morning," he waves goodbye and slips his gloves off as he walks to his truck to go home for the night. The two of you felt like siblings after spending pretty much every day together, you worked most days of the week together then on Sunday there was church where ofcourse the 'golden trio' as the church elders had coined you, all chose to share a pew, and snacks and memes; and after work you would sometimes drink together. You all had other friends from church too, but they weren't as close as the three of you were. You had no idea that Namjoon didn't feel like you were a sibling, maybe he used to, but not for the longest time now. It was Saturday, which meant, going out with them for a drink and something to eat. Taeyhung had insisted he was tired and would see you at church in the morning so you go home, well to the house. You wash up and change into clean comfortable jeans and a clean t-shirt then head out to the bar. You were starving after a days work to say the least, breakfast had worn off forever ago.

"Y/N!" He waves and gestures you over and you skip, for lack of better verb, over to the stool next to him. "Hi Y/N, what will it be?" The server asks, you order your drink first and a appetizer to share with him. That usually was more than enough to fill you both up. "Okay....since the other day....I've been thinking....," He speaks, his hands fiddling with his glass beer mug. "Thinking about what?" You ask curiously and sip yours. ".....Maybe it isn't my place .....but uh....about this Jeff.....I do-"

"it will be fine, relax," you grab his shoulder. "A-Alright.....how was your week?" "It was good, Tae Tae said he was tired so he went home...."

He nods, "that's weird...."

"I know right!? How was your week love?" You were too busy enjoying your drink to look up and notice him change color at the term of endearment. "Oh, I missed you...you guys, I missed you guys," he smiles, those dimples that melt your heart when he has a bashful moment appearing on his cheeks. "Aww, we missed you too. I think Tae is excited about Jeff coming, he has a room ready and everything. Oh, you remember we are going shopping tommorow after work right?" "Yeah, I remember, oh he's happy ab-Jeff is staying with Tae! That's great!" "Joonie ......honey, are you alright?" You ask, raising a brow at him. "Oh...oh yeah, it's just-hotels would be expensive," he covers and is thankful you nod in agreement. It's silent for a bit while you wait on your food, he taps his fingers on his glass and looks straight ahead mostly except for when he steals quick glances at you. His insides were shaking like the leafs on a tree and his foot was tapping like Thumper against the bar on the bottom of the stool as he hears a song come on that he knows is one of your favorite. Letting his eyes scan the room he sees a few drunken couples dancing like complete idiots. "Hey, it's your song......we should dance?"

"You're joking, right? Joonie, seriously"

"no, really," he laughs

"Alright, what the hay?" You shrug and down your drink so you won't care and could actually go through with it.

He chuckles and holds you steady, "feeling brave now?" "Mhm, oh yeah," you nod and giggle.

That Sunday is was a bit of a struggle waking up after the night you had before, Namjoon was sure that you are plenty and drank water but that wasn't enough for him so he drove you home and called Tae to come and get him so he could drive his truck home; he wanted to tuck you in. The shopping after service was fun, Tae even came, he wanted to get a new shirt and some new jeans which he got several of and wanted your opinion on all of them then he proceeded to also get new pointed toe boots. The week seemed to drag for you both as you both got closer to Thursday but it was finally here.

"Tae wake up," you smack him because he stayed over and was going to ride with you to get her. "Hmm?" He sits up slowly and wipes his eyes. "It's Thursday, she texted she's at the airport" "Oh, yeah"

You pick her up together and bring her back to Tae's place and show her around. She seems nervous at first and quiet, shy. "Relax," you laugh as you give her a tour and help her unpack while you wait on Namjoon to come. Tae had seen her pictures online because you had shown him but it was his first time meeting her as well.

"Y/N," he called out for you from the kitchen. "Just a sec, Jeff," you go out to him as he's drying his hands from washing dishes. "Can you introduce us?" "Yeah, sure? Come on," you pull him by his arm.

"Jeff," she turns to you as she is putting her things away on the floor. "Taeyhung is shy, He wants me to introduce you guys."

"Oh, hi," she smiles and you instantly notice his reaction and it all clicks in your head, making you try and hide a smirk. "This is Tae Tea and Tae this is Jeffrene, Jeff"

"H-Hi," he smiles and they shake hands, "Taeyhung," he says, she notices how deep his voice actually is and paired with the shyness has to laugh. You share a look about how adorable it is.

"Hello?" Namjoon calls from the front door. You introduce everyone.

"Jeff is a girl," Namjoon is shocked, you just wanted to see his reaction to thinking it was a guy. Funny, as you suspected.

"There's nothing to do today as far as work...," Tae speaks, directed to you. "Okay? Cool, what should we do?" You ask them. He pulls you off to the side, "c-can I take her to get some boots?" "Some boots?" You cross your arms. "Y-Yeah....," He tucks his hands in his pockets, "I want to show her around...."

You take his body language into account and conceal from him that you see he is crushing on your friend. "oh yeah, that's a good idea, you can take her to meet the girls" "Thanks," he tries to hide how overly excited he is, "h-how do I ask her?" "Okay, it's really complicated," you put a hand on his shoulder, "here is what you do"

"Yeah?"

"You go to her and you," you pause

"Yeah?" You could tell he was falling for your trick. Sweet gullible little Taeyhung, you loved him so much.

"and you say ....do you want to come with me to buy some boots? I want to show you the animals on the farm"

He gives you a squinting glare, "you're an asshole," he says while you're laughing and Namjoon is listening in and kindly restricting himself. You both watch your friend approach his first crush.

"Hi....," He smiles and greets her again, with a awkward little wave, one hand tucked into his back pocket. "Hi"

"Do you want...to come with me...to uhm....to buy you some boots and I can uh....show uh....show you the animals?" You face palm for him.

"That's sweet, sure, that sounds nice," she was happy to go along and as excited as he was, she loved animals.

----you and Namjoon at Tae's house-------

"That's cute, it's good that Tae is finally going for it with someone. I was starting to worry that he's never crushed on anyone before," Namjoon chuckles.

"For real though! I'm so proud but our little boy is growing up, now I'm sad," you stomp and come over to him, hugging his torso to lay your forehead on his chest like a melodramatic distraught wife who was experiencing empty nest syndrome. The action was nothing out of the ordinary. He laughs and pats your hair, "it's okay, we can have s'mores, how about that?" "Oo~ I feel better," the two of you grab the graham crackers and marshmallows but Tae didn't have the sticks or the chocolate so you run to the store for them and come back. Namjoon starts the bonfire then you two get cozy and start eating the s'mores without the other two in Tae's pasture.

"Naa~," Your melted chocolate and marshmallow delight cracker sandwhich is taken away from you. "Hey!"

"Hey! Bad Cleo! Bad Cleopatra! You can't take your aunt's s'mores!" Namjoon scolds the pony. "Now, tell her you're sorry young man," he throws his hands on his hips in a sassy manner which makes you almost fall over laughing. The pony rubs his head against you as a apology. "It's okay baby, I forgive my favorite nephew," you pet his nose and kiss it and he trots away to go to his mother. Namjoon laughs and sits back beside you, looking at them. "Mable is getting old......," you both knew what he meant by that. "Yeah...., I know." "Think Tae will be okay....?" "Let's hope so....."

---Taeyhung and Jeff-----

"What size do you wear?" Tae asks, he insisted on opening his truck door for her, and the store's door. He bought her a pair of boots and gloves before taking her out to your place. "I'll show you Y/N's first, then mine"

"This is Mary Lou and her new calf, she hasn't named her yet," he watches her happily pet them then takes her to your horses, "this is Cortney and Karen," after you've gotten to know them all he shows you all around before taking you home.

"I have horses too, well I have a horse and a pony," he takes you out back.

"Oh, they started without us, I won't let you miss the s'mores," he promises. "Cleo! Mable!" Cleo comes to them and she happily plays with him for a moment before Mable finally gets there and she pets the old horse.

-----

The night is spent enjoying s'mores and getting to know each other by the fire.

Authors Note: This may have a chapter two

[vixxenfox]

Things I’ve noticed after watching the pilot over and over again

And things I just find amusing

- is it just a coincidence that when Charlie says “I wonder if it could be me” the center angel’s face lights up?

- not important but the “F*ck you heaven!!!” Sign is hilarious

- I hate Valentino with a burning passion, look at him texting Angel

- people drop from the sky to get to hell, more importantly without clothes which means each flippin person has to get specially made clothes for their weird demon bodies like sir pentious needs clothes to fit his snake body and stuff... idk just interesting

- the place beside the “we couldn’t come up with a catchy slogan but we sell hardcore drugs” building is called “begg slut”

- imagine dying, going to hell, and realize that you’re an egg

- egg #23 is the best

-one of the eggs like does a weird walk thing with their hand on sir pentious’ tail

-Cherri Bomb’s clothing is so asymmetrical and I love it like she is literally wearing a high-heel boot on one leg and like a tiny shoe on the other

- really just poor Tom he’s great

- Vaggie says “it’s all highlighted” but none of what we are shown is highlighted

- Also read the parts of the list we can see, it’s adorable

- “I don’t touch the gays” I find Katie great

- Jeffrey Dahmer obviously (Also the sticky note saying “who approved this show?)

- When Charlie scans the crowd another tv head just says ‘words’

-The person Vaggie punches isn’t in the crowd

- I love Razzle and Dazzle TvT

- Those two owl demons in Inside Every Demon is a Rainbow are most definitely references to Timber

- CHARLIE YOU JUST KILLED A PUPPY

- I love that there is a boo section

- Tom watches Angel Dust’s stuff confirmed

- I love the sonic spring noise when Angel launches an egg into the air

- Sir Pentious probably has a son that might be in hell so look out for another snake

- Do you see how happy Cherri Bomb is near Angel Dust, best friends! :D

- Aawww Angel pushes Cherri out of the way

- Angel didn’t just sprout a third set of arms, he also pulled an entire gun out of his body sooo... what’s with that

- I think you would just stop existing if you died in hell Angel

- That creepy fan has a body pillow of Angel

- Charlie takes off her pink... jacket(?) in one scene and the next she has it on again (you see her wearing pink in the closeup)

- Lilith is an absent mother

- There goes everyone’s fanon about how Lucifer acts (why couldn’t we get a nice stupid one T~T)

- I think they changed Alastor’s knock but I’m too lazy to check

- They fixed Alastor’s disappearing monocle

- I like that the mic has an eye sometimes it’s cool (how many “sentient-ish” things does Alastor’s have, first the shadow and now this)

- Alastor can teleport at least short distances and he appears as the shadow for a second

- They really make Alastor a very animated character and I love it

- (we knew this already but) Alastor clearly puts himself on a different level than the other sinners, he thinks of himself as justified and better (he doesn’t say “us sinners” he says “loathsome sinners” w/o him in the picture)

- Valentino, Rosie, Lilith (obviously), the girl from the porn studio, and the tv head dude (Vox, thanks @lavipsi) are all some of hell’s “strongest demons”

- TV head (Vox) is in the middle and top so he must be very powerful and behind him there’s also a green and red demon that reminds me of the wolf/fox demon from the bar scene

- Husk is very blocked out by Vaggie’s face but he’s clearly in the picture with Alastor (it looks like a fight but I don’t want to assume) like we know they know each other and stuff but it’s just weird that Husk is in the art when Vaggie says he’s “a dangerous Blahblah” and has entire speech of how dangerous he is

- I love the symbols that float up when Charlie isn’t looking and then the squeak as he turns to a more “innocent-like” Alastor when Charlie looks back

- Alastor rolls his eyes at Charlie when she says “No trickster, voodoo strings attached.”

- Talked about this before but the way his smile gets wider when Charlie says “for as long as you like”

- Why does Charlie have at least 2 posters about alcohol up if she didn’t want it in her hotel?

- I love how Niffty comes in and her bug-like noise when she appears

- You can see their reflection in Niffty’s eye during the closeup and Charlie is too adorable in it, Angel and Vaggie look ready to kick her out XD

- Everybody’s reactions to Niffty rambling on is beautiful, just watch them go from defensive to confused

- Alastor just following Niffty’s every movement as she zooms around

- Please tell me I’m not the only one who didn’t immediately see Husk as a cat? I honestly thought he was a dog for a while because he looks sort of like a Husky and his name is Husk, which got me thinking about the contradictions with Alastor not liking dogs... then I realized Husk was a cat.

- “are you sh!tt!ng me” “no I don’t think so” and “you think I’m just some clown” “..maybe” are some of my favorite lines

- Was I just supposed to know that on the bottom of Alastor’s boots (shoes? Hooves?) there were deer prints?

- So did Alastor really just teleport two sinners and basically copy part of the bar Husk was at and it’s just going to be there forever? Like you can see where the bar’s like territory ends because it’s walls are green while the hotel’s is red

- No like seriously Alastor you can copy a part of a bar but you can’t make the walls match the rest of the hotel’s walls?

- Husk seems slightly taller than Alastor

- Also Husk also has yellow teeth and if we go by Alastor’s teeth are yellow because he’s a cannibal, Husk might have been a cannibal when he was alive

- Husk clearly knows Alastor, he’s not afraid of him (to an extent, he was still a little shaken by the... Sir Pentious thing). Husk obviously voices his complaints without restraint and isn’t afraid of Alastor hurting him (I guess), and even when he was shaken up he was still the second person to follow Alastor back to the hotel.

- The entire relationship between Husk and Alastor is very intriguing to me! Husk doesn’t fear Alastor, Alastor called him a friend (obviously another jab at Husk but still), and they were in the same picture when Vaggie talked about Alastor being dangerous. I’m guessing they were probably friends once, maybe the picture is them both fighting another demon or fighting each other in like a fall-out.

- Vaggie is very exaggerated when she’s complaining about the bar and it’s beautiful

- Husk in the background as a still image just chugging booze is beautiful

-Angel’s angry face as Vaggie complains about the bar just before he leaves to lunge at her is beautiful and my favorite face

- 27:46 Alastor flipping FLUTTERS HIS EYES AT VAGGIE and you can hear a small sound effect of it and I just thought that was beautiful

- At the same moment Charlie is just rubbing her cheeks and it’s cute

- Right before Alastor starts singing, he throws some red... fire in the air and Charlie follows it with her eyes and she just so awed by it

- The fireplace in the background has an eye and a top hat above it and it just reminds me of Sir Pentious

- Alastor’s song has so many Friends on the Other Side vibes and I love it

- There are so many Christian symbols (and Satanic symbols) in the background of this song and I just don’t want to spend that time looking at each one :l

- Alastor’s shadow is also here further nailing the Friend on the Other Side vibe (not to mention the other shadows and voodoo doll things)

- Poor Niffty, she should never get hurt

- When Sir Pentious is talking and it shows the chibi characters, Charlie, Angel, and Niffty are looking at Alastor and when it zooms in for a split second Angel’s face is the most innocent bab ever

- There’s a building in the background with (again) one eye and a top hat, there’s also a cat building right next to it

- You can see heaven as a planet with a halo...

- There’s also a sun(?) or moon(?) or planet(?) with a pentagram on it

- I know that Egg Boi #OUCH is just a joke, but what if after 666, Sir Pentious just started giving them stupid names like that?

- Again, religious symbols float around Alastor that I’m not going to look into because I’ve taken so much time T_T

- Niffty is actually unfazed by Alastor summoning tentacles and destroying Sir Pentious’ ship. Really she has a normal smile and face and she immediately follows Alastor when he walks back to the hotel

- Angel is still flirting with Husk

- Charlie reassuring Vaggie is adorable

- Are we not going to talk about the carousel and gigantic steam boat that’s just protruding from the hotel

- I also love how the windows at the top of skull designs <3

- There’s an eye on the top of the building and the sign of Happy/Hazbin Hotel could also look like a top hate (why are there so many one-eyed top hats like Sir Pentious’...?)

- Stay tuned TM

- Not from me but, Alastor changes the name to Hazbin Hotel and Hazbin means something that was great before but is terrible now or something that is meaningless

- So Alastor liking terrible jokes is now canon? The dad joke thing wasn’t just a stream thing, it’s actually canon?

- Alastor actually has a red ‘X’ on his forehead, you can see it right after he destroys Sir Pentious’ ship

- The art in the credits shows Cherri Bomb having a tattoo

- I would like to talk a little about the design that’s in the background during the credits. So in the middle is an apple that’s being held by two sharp hands, there are three snakes coming out of it with only one snake fully out but still seems to have originated from the apple. The snake that’s completely out is on the top and has some designs around it that emphasize it, making it look more like a king (the devil, duh). The other two snakes are going down (probably referencing Adam and Eve maybe? Even though they also seem evil I just think of Adam and Eve.) Under them is another snake head. There are two sets of eyes around the top snake, one set has a line going down the middle of each eye like a scar while the bottom set has eyelashes. Even though the bottom set looks more “girly”, it reminds me of Lucifer because of the dots under them. If you want to grasp at straws the complete bottom snake’s tongue sort of looks like the bottom part of the symbol of Lucifer. The three snakes that clearly originate from the apple in the middle can also look like “Three snakes and one charm” if you squint. The symbol above the top snake looks like the infinity symbol combined with the cross, but it’s not the leviathan cross, so maybe just eternal... crucifixion?

- The smoke coming from the pit that Alastor made has souls in it

- I think #23 is depressed because he really wants to be shot... and he was just sitting there next to a bunch of dead hims

- Vivziepop said on a stream something about Lucifer being “generally goofy, but it depends on his voice” or something like that, please correct me if I’m completely wrong. This makes me things that Lucifer is going to have multiple voice actors.

-The Loading Crew “Everything We Know About Hazbin Hotel” brings up a point that it seems like the only things that can kill demons and sinners are the Exterminators’ weapons which are sometimes left behind that demons scavenge, Vaggie also appears to have one. I recommend watching his video, it’s very quick but also brings up points I haven’t addressed. 

And yeah, that’s all for now! ^_^ comment if you have something else to add or think I should change something

[greyliliy]

ALRIGHT. So a while ago, I saw a gif set for Hazbin Hotel and went “oh no” because I’m always weak for a well dressed evil dude in a suit. Always. *looks at Bill Cipher and the Once-ler, even if the second was more misguided ignorance but he got to be in fandom so it still counts and Mr. Graves*

I was scared of getting obsessed so I decided to put off watching it.

Then my friend was like “You need to see this” and I was like “noooo, I don’t want to get obsessed” and his response was “..you’re going to be obsessed. I know you. XD” followed by a demand for reactions and well.

I promised I’d live blog watching it for him.

So let’s do this.

(Note: The show is definitely R rated. So keep that in mind if you want to watch. XD)

Hazbin Hotel

There is singing.

He mentioned that but I forgot already. XD

I love this animation already. I already did from the gifs I saw, but it looks so good.

Also you can’t go wrong with songs about Rainbows. Ever.

I love this main girl already.

Multi-armed dude is fun. I need to look up his voice. *pauses video*  Okay, so that guy is Angel Dust and he’s voiced by Michael Kovach. Huh. His voice sounds super familiar but I haven’t seen anything else he’s in. XD

*leaves wiki open*

Talking eggs.

“I wish he’d shoot me with his ray gun.”

You and me both, little egg. *so weak for suits…and snakes*  (But not really. I can’t look at I’m if I got hit by a ray gun. :P)

The character designs in this are really nice. It all looks like it goes together in the same universe, but there’s still so much variety and neat tricks like this man’s hair looking like a cobra’s hood.

I love Charlie.

LET HER SING.

Charlie’s so cute.

I love her.

But for real. LET HER SING.

Killjoy is fun.

The sound effects are good, too.

Vaggie is a sweetheart.

YES.

BLESS.

SONGS.

My mouth dropped.

I love the little goat servants.

And the little flashes of scary Charlie.

FANGS.

I could put this song on loop.

I knew they were all gonna’ boo and laugh because of story but I don’t believe it. That music number was too epic.

I love Tom, too.

Killjoy and Tom are still great. Great antagonists.

“Harder, Daddy~” 

*gasp* “Son!?”

I think I might have died.

I’m dead.

I’m screaming.

Why is that so funny?

Also Angel Dust commenting on his sex jokes and the guy not getting it is kinda amazing.

Vaggie is gonna’ kill Angel Dust.

The faces Angel Dust makes are so good. I’ve said it a few times now, but the Animation in tis is SO GOOD. I love how fluid it is and everyone’s expressions. There’s so much life and style.

“Whatever pisses you off more.” is a bold response. Lol.

I already dislike Charlie’s mom.

And it’ll stay that way until we find out she’s dead or something and physically can’t answer.

There he is.

Alastor.

That voice is not what I was expecting.

The Radio Man.

I love him.

“Why does anyone do anything? Sheer. Absolute. Boredom.”

Lord, it’s happening.

Evil jack ass in a suit with a charismatic voice.

Every. Freaking. Time.

(Shark teeth don’t hurt either. Fangs. Always good.)

You know. He’s almost being so straight forward about his goals of watching other demons fail that I’m genuinely curious if that’s his real aim and he’s just the honest sort (which adds SO MANY BROWNIE points because Honest Villains are the Best Villains) or if it’s covering up something worse.

I’m shipping Vaggie and Angel Dust. They have that vitriolic best friends thing going on that I’m weak for. I need to see them bicker.

(Yes, I also think the canon couple of Vaggie and Charlie is cute and awesome. But I am a multi-shipper and nothing will change that. :D)

Also I can see myself OT4’ing this group. Lol.

Vaggie’s concern and love for Charlie is amazing though. She’s so protective, I love her.

And Charlie’s optimism balances her pessimism. 

“You don’t take shit from other demons!”

I’m looking forward to seeing Charlie cut loose later.

DEALS.

There’s those Bill Cipher vibes. Love it. XD

That. Order.

Lord, I love Charlie.

Vaggie and Alastor are gonna’ throw down.

Alastor has tiny horns. I did not notice that. They’re so cute.

HIS TINY MINION.

“it really needs a lady’s touch, which is weird because you’re all ladies.” I love her. Lol.

Bless Husker already.

“Maybe.”

LORD.

Kill me now.

*lies on side and hugs Alastor*

HE HAS HOOVES ON THE BOTTOM OF HIS SHOES.

That’s such a nice design detail.

“We are keeping this.”

I CAN’T BREATHE I’M LAUGHING SO HARD.

I remember seeing Alastor x Charlie art when I glanced at the tag and I can see it.

Definitely OT4’ing this nonsense.

MORE SINGING.

I love this aesthetic.

THE SNAKE IS BACK.

(I need to look up his name. I keep missing it. lol.)

Aw.

I’m gonna’ miss him.

(I REALLY LIKED HIM. I brought this on him. My favs always die.)

And it’s over.

Conclusion: I REALLY LIKED It.

Damn. My friend does know me. XD

Edit: I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS AN AFTER CREDITS SCENE.

*watches*

THE SNAKE LIVES.

The show is now perfect. :D

[french-fry-gallery]

How do you come up with such neat looking miraculous ocs :0 I really wanna make one but have no idea how to start. Any suggestions?

Hi, I’d love to help!

I don’t really know how to explain how I come up with the ideas, I just kinda do them :P

The recent ones I’ve done haven’t really been my own ideas, at least the Bridgette one, I was given a description for that. And as for the octopus kwami one, i made my own transformation one design but not his civilian outfit, that was also done for me (previous fan art idea).

I just look at the animal design and think about where certain features would fit on the OC and match the animal.

- Clothes/Hair: Base on their personality/lifestyle (cute: preppy/girly, lazy: casual/sloppy, high strung/serious: tight fitting/neat, spontaneous/fun: messy/bright)

- Kwami/Holder Personality: You can match the animal/kwami with the personality of the holder or make them opposites so they compliment each other (Tikki is optimistic and cheers up Marinette when she is being dramatic, Plagg is rebellious/chill, encouraging Adrien to loosen up). If you have a confident holder, you could make the kwami shy so they calm down a bit, or give an energetic kwami to a lazy holder so they get out more.

- Kwami/Holder Look: Try and match their look with the holder (Marinette wears polka dots and has blue eyes, Adrien has green eyes and wears black, Alya wears orange/purple and has orange hair).

- Colour: Get all the colours from the animal you’re basing off of, placing them in similar places like the animal has. (Deer: light brown, white, dark brown, cream, etc.)

- Pattern: If the animal has certain shapes/patterns, incorporate those in your design as much as you can in the right places without over doing it (spots, stripes, lighter toned belly, etc)

- Accessories: Get little features from the animal: beak (mask), antlers (head), ears (head), tail (lower back), hooves (shoes), paws (shoes/gloves), wings (back), etc. (for the octopus OC, i put the beaks on his shoulders like spikes).

- Weapons: Try and find something that fits the style/shape/pattern the animal has. Ladybug has something round with spots, Carapace has a turtle shell shield, Queen B has a spinning top that looks like a stinger, etc. I chose whips for the octopus OC because they could be interpreted as tentacles and can be used to some what grab things like tentacles would.

- Miraculous Design: Get the main feature of the animal (tail, head, antlers, tentacles, etc.) and make that the main feature of the jewellery. (If a deer Miraculous was a headband, you can make the headband shape like antlers, the civilian form being more tame).

- Miraculous Timer: Remember to add the 5 minute time limit on the jewellery and make the last minute more prominent (for the deer, you could make it have 5 antler spikes, the last in the middle or bigger, Ladybug’s last minute is in the middle, Chat Noir’s is the biggest bean on the cat paw, making it more obvious and jarring for them)

Thanks for asking! (sorry if it wasn’t much help)

Sheep Faun Henry

Cyborg Geek Girl: I read somewhere that some Satyr's bare a stronger resemblance to sheep than goats, to the point of growing wool instead of regular fur. And now for some reason my brain is picturing Henry as a Sheep Satyr; he's human from the waist up, but sheep from there down, and with Ram horns on his head. He normally wears a charm of some kind to keep people from realizing he's not actually human. He had to leave because of something magic-related (or something). When he came back, he lost his charm at some point in chapter 2, and that's one of the reasons Sammy calls him a "Sheep".

Mom’s Lili Kittyflower: Oooo. Neat.

Cyborg Geek Girl: He wears pants (for modesty) after sheering himself in the spring, but during fall and winter, the wool on him is too thick to allow that. And he has specialized leg warmers he wears during the winter (for the areas that aren't covered in wool) Satyr Henry is very flexible since he has to do all kinds of fancy twisting to sheer himself without cutting himself.

Some Bastardisation of “Mango”: yesss

CGG: Satyr Hen is a floof. I want to talk more about the sheep or see a picture of him.

SBOM: yesss

CGG: Joey didn't know about Henry being a Satyr. He suspected he was magic, but something more grande then a sheep.

SBOM: Ye, lol

CGG: Henry is going through the studio in the fall, which means there's ink soaking into his wool. He's very unhappy about it. He'll have to sheer himself early to get rid of the mats. People are confused by the sheepman making his way through the studio. Alice wants to hug him because he looks so fluffy, but he's drenched in tainted ink. Bendy is confused by the clopping he's hearing instead of footsteps. Boris found Henry a brush to get rid of the worst of the tangles in his hair and wool.

SBOM: Yesss. the butcher clones are fascinated by henry's wool

CGG: Pfft, yes. They want to pet the floof. There are no Satyr toons, so they've never seen anyone like Henry before.

SBOM: i love this. ooo satyr henry meets benry

CGG: He's so tired of the feeling of ink in the gaps of his hooves. That would be interesting.

SBOM: s!hen: i'm guessing you weren't always like that

b!hen: what gave it away?

castor: ANOTHER FLUFFY HENRY

CGG: Henry keeps being startled by them because they keep trying to grab some of his wool or his tail. And it's all on his lower body, so it's very uncomfortable. Especially since they're all butt level against him.

SBOM: when some of the wool gets cut off somehow, the butcher clones all mob on it, trying to look at it

CGG: Henry is very confused by it. Like "It's just some wool?"

SBOM: i feel like toons, in general, are just fascinated by wool aLSO NORMAN he's just like "my life is already weird enough, might as well add this onto the pile"

CGG: I don't follow. What would Norman's reaction be?

SBOM: that's norman's reaction i was just exclaiming because *i forgot my boy*

CGG: That Henry's actually a sheep man? He's just kinda rolling with it?

SBOM: Yeah.

CGG: Henry escapes the ink demon once by accidentally bleating when it startles him. The demon just... Stops. It doesn't know what to do because bleating is not something humans do when scared. Henry takes the chance to run as fast as he can.

SBOM: pfft there's no horror just comedy, confusion, and odd fascination

CGG: Which is just as fun as the Horror. Well, there's still body horror from the toons. And the coffins from the earlier chapters. Henry and Bo still get dropped down an elevator shaft.

SBOM: but it's not pure horror

CGG: That's true. I want to talk more about Satyr Henry. But I’m not sure what to talk about.

MLK: I want to talk more about him too How does he lose the charm?

CGG: I want to say it was some carved beads (or something like that) that he kept one of those leather pouches that you can wear around your neck, and a searcher ripped the pouch, and the beads ended up scattered on the floor. Henry couldn't fix the pouch right then, and even if he could, he hadn't been able to find all the beads.

SBoM: he's just annoyed that he'll have to recraft the charm from scratch again

CGG: Oh yeah. I’ve just decided Satyr Henry has sheepy ears too.

SBOM: yessss4

CGG: [image] I’m not really an SU person, but I love these Satyr designs. I want Hen to have horns like Rose's and a tail like Pearl's.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: Also, I finally found what a proper black sheep looks like. [image]

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: BROWN FUZZY FRIEND

Cyborg Geek Girl: YUS Hen is gonna be that shade of brown.

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: FUZZY FREEEN

Cyborg Geek Girl: Their legs are so skinny.

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: I wanna hug the sheep

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: saaaaame

Trash Mom: SHEEP

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: Fluffy wooly freeeen

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yeeeee

Cyborg Geek Girl: If Bendy is separate from 'Bendy' in this AU (or even if he's healed from that form), He loves trying to play with Henry's long tufted tail.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesssss

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: He's a cat. Bendy is always a cat X3 And honestly same I would too

Cyborg Geek Girl: Boris is fascinated by the Sheepman, and asking all kinds of questions about how magic is supposed to be outside the studio.

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: Joey; So you're just... A sheep? Henry; One, I'm a satyr. Two, WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN

Cyborg Geek Girl: Lol, yes. Joey; Sorry, I just expected something a bit... More… Henry; rolls eyes Oh, like you have room to talk. Imma need to swap things around for Henry, turns out I was confusing Satyrs for Fauns. Satyrs are... different. From now on it's Faun Henry.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: fair nuff

Mom's Lil Kittyflower: Ah okay Snippy is going to love Faun Henry when she hears about him

Cyborg Geek Girl: [image] This is closer to what I picture for Faun Henry. But with fully curves ram horns and wool. (And older o' course) As much as I love the long swooshy tail, I think he's gonna have the cute little nub-tail most sheep have. Henry is so floofy. Joey is so caught off guard by Faun Hen, he just kinda freezes and goes "Wat?" He'd expected Henry to be something a bit grander than a sheepman for him. Like a Vampire, or a Werewolf, or a Wizard or something like that.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: pfft

Lil Lilipad: We gonna talk more about Faun Henry today?

Cyborg Geek Girl: I want to.

Lil Lilipad: Why don't we talk about why he left? You said "magical reasons" right?

Cyborg Geek Girl: “Magical or something" yeah. I want to say it was partially the stress of working at the studio, and Joey starting to stick his nose where it shouldn't be.

Lil Lilipad: I’m kinda wondering what Henry's family is like

Cyborg Geek Girl: Probably distant. He might not terribly close to them.

Lil Lilipad: Joey just starts dropping hints that he thinks Henry is something magical but all his guesses are completely off base so Henry leaves because it's annoying

Cyborg Geek Girl: Lol, yes. And because He's pretty much running the studio and not getting credit for it.

Lil Lilipad: Does he confront Joey about it before leaving?

Cyborg Geek Girl: For the Credit thing? Yes. It gets very bad. Joey walks out with a black eye and Henry's got some bruises too.

Lil Lilipad: Sorry I feel sick can't really talk

Cyborg Geek Girl: That's fine At first, Joey trying to guess what he really was had been amusing, but then it started to get on Henry's nerves.

Lil Lilipad: He never even gets remotely close

Cyborg Geek Girl: The closest he gets is Satyr, but that just visibly offends Henry. People often mistake them, but that's still pretty rude.

Lil Lilipad: “I’m sorry I guessed something that boring" Henry is further offended

Cyborg Geek Girl: (Satyr's are built like humans, but with Horsetails and ears. They were supposed to accompany Dianonsis, the Greek God of Wine, Celebrations and [ahem] "Sexual Activities") (Henry is less offended by the "boring" comment and more by the suggested activities) "My God Joey! Do you really think of me like that?!" Highly offended tone I want Sammy and/or Wally to be suspicious of Faun Henry not being human.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: They find something like some wool, or maybe a chip from one of his horns or hooves. He was helping carry something heavy and it smacked against his head and they found a chip from one of his horns. Henry yelps after having to squeeze his way through a partially blocked doorway, and claims he was just startled by a splinter digging into his hand.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: ouch

Cyborg Geek Girl: They go back and find some wool caught on the wood.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: they start getting suspicious

Cyborg Geek Girl: He didn't hurt his head, because it hit his horns and not his actual head.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: idea: henry makes and sells yarn made from his wool

Cyborg Geek Girl: Only during early summer and late spring

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: he has a little old lady for a neighbor that knows how to knit and she always buys his yarn

Cyborg Geek Girl: He had a few things he makes himself.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yep hen doesn’t knit or crochet he does macrame

Cyborg Geek Girl: He makes cord bracelets.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: Just with leftover yarn.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: he also sells roving wool for needle felters

Lil Lilipad: So his horns are just invisible with the charm? He can still knock into stuff with them? What is macrame?

Cyborg Geek Girl: He doesn't have a lot of yarn. 1/2 of a usual wool bag

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: it's doing yarnwork with your hands

Cyborg Geek Girl: From his self-sheering.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: “I have a very small sheep"

Cyborg Geek Girl: The charm is to basically trick peoples brains into not notice he wasn't actually human.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macram%C3%A9

Cyborg Geek Girl: Pants and shoes are normally considered "Not important" to peoples brains beyond, "That person is wearing them".

Lil Lilipad: He has a pen out back for a sheep and whenever people come over "She's out hiding somewhere" Oh I see

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: in reality, he has a pet goat named Sheep

Lil Lilipad: Thanks THAT IS ADORABLE

Cyborg Geek Girl: He claims it's an old ram that's not very sociable. So people should just leave the old boy alone.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: pfft

Cyborg Geek Girl: He should actually have an old ram. He got it when he was a kid, and stupidly named it Rammy. He argues with him sometimes. Like how Lili argues with her cat.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: Everyone suspects Henry isn't actually a normal human. Joey is just the only one trying to figure out what, exactly, he is. Someone should be a farm kid and knows that Henry's wool haul is more than he should have for only one old ram.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: also, yes, Grant is the farm boy

Cyborg Geek Girl: Sammy finds the wool from Henry, while Wally finds the chip, and it's Grant who identifies them as "possibly sheep".

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yes

Cyborg Geek Girl: Everyone thinks Henry is odd, but no one really points it out.  Except for Joey. Henry does yearly hair-cuts at home, but again, no one questions it. They just think he's trying to save money. Head hair has to be trimmed a bit more often since it grows at a human rate. But Henry still does it at home.

Lil Lilipad: Imagine Henry accidentally bleating when someone scares him

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: yesss

Cyborg Geek Girl: Yes, people look at him funny when he does. Also, apparently Sheep/Rams can shed the outer covering of their horns. This is how Henry's horn had chipped but still healed later.

Lil Lilipad: Henry almost never laughs, so a couple people make it a challenge to see who can make him laugh first When they finally succeed, they find out that Henry has a really weird sounding laugh

Cyborg Geek Girl: Wally: whispers “No wonder he doesn't laugh.”

Lil Lilipad: Wally, Shawn, and probably one other person

Cyborg Geek Girl: Thomas. His curiosity couldn't be contained. (Before the Machine, he was their Heating and Plumbing guy)

Lil Lilipad: He always struck me as someone who has really serious but okay

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: Henry and his nice old lady neighbor [image]

Lil Lilipad: Cuuuute

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: she wears a snuggie 24/7 cause she gets cold easy

Cyborg Geek Girl: Snuggies weren't a thing then, but a good robe/shawl wouldn't be out of place.

Some Bastardization of "Mango”: She just wears a robe all day then :P

Cyborg Geek Girl: Lol, I just found out sheep scream like people.

Lil Lilipad: Oh my god X3

Roleplay Server Log #230

“Steph and Gem, Hg, Lie and Doc in Wine Country”

[gem] -wakes up in the tunnel and sees she is in one piece-

[Steph] -totally not looming in the distance of the tunnel peeking at gem-

[Steph] -totally-

[gem] -now that gem has full energy again a rush of white mist rushes past steph it's the guardians heading back to the house-

[Steph] -nervously slinks down tunnel to gem-

[gem] -sees steph and waves-

[Steph] -nervous smile- hey-- sorry.. sorry for up and bolting the other day--

[Steph] Just.. Wanted to see you. Got you a flower? *bitches like flowers, becky lemme smash

-steph offers a simple poppy to Gem-

[Gem] -her eyes turn a light pink and she excepts the flower- thank you

[CP] Is lazing about on Lie's roof-

[Doc] Is walking by with a grin - Hi Cp!

[CP] Flips Doc off-

[Splender] - That's not very nice CP...

[Doc] Ah, I'm used to it. It's a lovely day out isn't it?

[CP] - The fuck do you want now?

[Doc] Nothing. We just visited Kore and we're both all charged up.

[CP] - Have they finally gotten rid of those stupid fucking statues?

[Doc] Of course not! They love us!

[CP] Growls-

[Splender] - Doc, as much as I'd love to stay and chat, I should go check on Pinwheel

[Doc] Sure! Go ahead! Thank you for coming with me. It was fun.

[Splender] Waves farewell before teleporting off-

[Doc] You're such a pill, he loved the carvings they did of him. I've never seen him so excited and happy. Especially after I updated their server to get the colors update intalled.

[CP] - He see's drawings of himself all the time

[Doc] But this one is special, they did all kinds of spiral knots with his tentacles and even rubbed it with dye to get the colors right.

[CP] - The colors he sees all the time from the kids drawing pictures of him

[Doc] waves a hand- Bah. We had fun, and he made the little Testificate kids in the city happy too. They've been dressing up as us to play. It's adorable.

[CP] - They what?

[Doc] You know how kids are. They want to be like their idols.

[CP] Groans loudly-

[Lie] Sticks her head out the door- What's he groaning about now?

[Doc] I'm telling him adorable children stories about TLOT's Testificates.

[Lie] - Ah, alright.  Do you want any food Doc?  I'm just making lunch

[Doc] Nah, thank you though.

[Notch] Comes around the house at a quick pace- Doc!

[Doc] Hmm?

[Notch] I got the call. Hg is ready to come back.

[Doc] Ah, I guess I'm going right back out. I had a little excursion planned anyway...

[CP] - Good, you'll be leaving me alone then

[Doc] I was planning on it. You always make him cry anyway. I hoping Lie would accompany me.

[Lie] - Me?  Why?

[Doc] Because I think you'll like what I have planned.

[Lie] - What about CN?

[Doc] Cp doesn't want to go. He can keep an eye on him. It's not like he's destructive.

[Lie] - If you're sure...

[CP] - Oh fuck you!

[Doc] It's going to require a little bit of in and out though. Cp? Do you want to just grab HG and scare the fuck out of Jeb again?

[CP] - ...  Fine

[Notch] Jeb said he was up and around. I guess now is good.

[CP] Creates an opening and quickly passes through.  There's  a bit of screaming from the other end before CP reemerges with HG-

[Doc] tp's Hg to hir to get him down-

[HG] hi doc

[Doc] Good to see you back! How are you feeling? I planned a little excursion for us, but it's nowhere near where you were. So it was easier to come back here first.

[Lie] Grabs some food and offers it to HG-

[Doc] No! Don't eat. We're getting lunch out too.

[HG] oh ok no food here

[Lie] - Oh, alright...

[Doc] I asked Splender to do me a favor a while back so we should be able to go right to where I was planning. Lie? You ready? I'm sure you want me too.... change my clothes...

[Lie] - Yes please, let's try not to draw too much attention.  HG?  Do you have anything cleaner?

[HG] no this is all I have

[Lie] - Hmmm, Doc?  A little help?

[Doc] Sourly strips off hir coat and gloves - Hmm? Oh, yeah. Hang on...

[Doc] Actually wait... no. He'll fit right in where we're going. In fact Lie, you should put on some of your work clothes.

[Lie] - I don't really have any designated work clothes...

[Doc] Pulls out a red and black bundle- I've been saving this... I guess you can have it... - Xe passes the bundle to Lie. It's a red and back checkered shirt. If the resolution was higher, it would probably be plaid. - The shirt you have on is too nice.

[Lie] - Alright, just give me a chance to get some longer pants on- She retreats into the house to change

[Doc] Takes a copy of hir coat and changes it to black before stripping the tails off to make a short jacket.

[Lie] Returns with the new shirt hanging open on top of her usual shirt and her jeans-

[Doc] That's better, let me check the exit, so we aren't spotted. - Xe gets down into a bit of a crouch and violently headbangs forward. The space in front of hir seems to shatter into a small hole and xe looks out through it before turning back. -Coast is clear. Let's go! - Xe struggles to widen the hole and hold it. - Go quickly!

[Lie] Quickly slips through-

[HG] -goes though quickly-

-On the other side, the smell of fall hits them abruptly as they emerge from a small broken tv. It's hidden in some bracken by the side of a narrow but well paved road. The leaves are turning in the trees above them and the ground is carpeted with them as well. There's just the tiniest nip of cold in the air.

[Lie] Slips on her sunglasses- Oh no, we forgot about HG's eyes!

[Doc] Pulls out hir contacts, and fusses with them before blinking them in. - Eh, I can just copy yours. Unless you want some contacts HG?

[HG] no sunglasses will be fine

[Doc] Clicks at Lie and hands the spare glasses to him. - We have a little bit of a walk but I didn't want to risk anyone seeing us come in. Try to remember where the tv is.

[Lie] - I can leave a small trail of plants

[HG] -starts looking at the trees- the trees are more then one color are they sick?

[Lie] - It's fall, at this time of the year the trees...  Go to sleep, until spring arrives

[HG] well as long as they will be ok

[Doc] Just nothing too showy, I don't want anyone to stop and pick them. And Hg, this is also the time people harvest the plants, so they can save the seeds until it's time to plant again in the spring. - Xe's ambling along and the leaves are crunching pleasntly beneath hir boots.

[Lie] - Oh don't worry, this is normal

[HG] how many seeds do people get do you think we could get some if they have extra

[Doc] Most likely. We'll see what's there. This is an odd little area. It's mostly for tourists but it's also farm country.

[HG] -bounces a little at the word farm-

[Lie] - Just no watering HG, it will raise a lot of questions if you do

[HG] awe ok

[Doc] There's a little break in the trees and some familiar noise. The trees on the side of the road open up onto a field with several different types of cows roaming around.

[HG] are those cows they don't look exactly like the ones from home

[Lie] - Yes, out here there's a lot of different types of cows

[Doc] Follows the road as it dips down and around the side of a hill. A dirt parking lot opens out to several small businesses in houses and a large barn. Behind the building, and partially in sight, is a field of ripe pumpkins and fancy gourds.  There are tables out front with corn in many colors and jars of jam, jelly and honey for sale. There are people milling around, but not too many.

[Lie] - Oooh, it's been awhile since I've even thought about corn

[Doc] It looks interesting. What can you do with it?

[HG] is corn a plant and if so can we get some to plant?

[Doc] Yes and yes.

[Lie] - It's used in a lot of things, it's actually the only plant solely dependent on human's for it's ability to spread around.  You can feed it to animals...  Actually, you've had a product of corn Doc, it's kernels are used to make popcorn

[Doc] Oh! The little crunchy things that look like clouds.

[Doc] Pick some out, I'm paying.

[HG] gowning corn sound  like a job I wouldn't mind doing

[Lie] - Got it- She goes to the table and picks out some ears and a few small bags of seeds.  She grins as she see's a bag of "rainbow corn"

[Doc] Is looking at some of the honey jars. - Why are they different colors?

[Lie] - Because of where the hives are located and what the bee's mostly ate from

[HG] bees?

[Lie] - The real world equivalent of Touchies

[Doc] Ah, then I'll get some of that too. Xe grabs a jar and the corn and pulls out some actual money to pay for it. - And three tickets please.

[Lie] - Tickets?

[HG] tickets?

[Doc] Tickets. - Xe takes the little bits of paper and goes where the woman is indicating, behind the barn. Xe quietly stows hir spoils in hir inventory and looks to see their reaction.

-In the space is a variety of goats, full size and miniature, playing happily, as well as two ponies and a bored looking llama. There are some ducks as well passing easily under the wooden fence, and quacking for a handout. A younger lady takes the bits of paper and opens the gate to let them inside, where there are already some children and parents petting the animals.

[HG] i want to pet these cute animals

[Lie] Immediately goes towards the ponies, as small goats bump into her as well-

[Doc] Well go ahead. The tickets are to help the keepers pay for their feed.

[HG] -goes over to pet a goat-

[Lie] Pulls a bit of sugar from her inventory and slips it to the ponies-

[Minature goat] Bounces happily around Hg's feet and tries to nibble on his pants leg-

[Doc] Is having a bit of a staring contest with the llama-

-One pony is rather onry at the moment do to some flies and stomps it's feet-

[HG] -pets the goat as it nibbles he doesn't mind-

[Doc] Glad I have good shoes on. I know how painful those hooves can be...

[Lie] - Speaking of, how's Deer doing?

[Doc] She kicked me in the face. But I got her hooves taken care of.

[Lie] - Well I'm glad to hear she's okay, but she really kicked you in the face?

[Doc] It was a reflex, nothing malicious.

[Lie] - Good

[HG] -is trying to pets some of the ducks-

[Ducks] Are a little bit elusive because HG isn't trying to feed them.

[Baby goat] MAaaaaa

[Doc] Well that's almost familiar...

[HG] -has a huge smile on his face as he tries to pet as many animals as he can-

[Lie] Laughs a little- Yes, but I don't think they are as big

[Doc] Not yet at least. Hah.

[Goats] Mob Hg a little bit because he's being so affectionate.

[Doc] Looks at the ponies- Those don't look like colts..?

[Ponies] Snort and shift around, one kicks out a little-

[Lie] - Why are you so onry, huh?

[Lie] - No, these are ponies, smaller horses usually used with children

[HG] -is trying to pet all the goats at once-

[Doc] Oh, well they're cute. - chuckles- I just imagined what Stevie would have looked like riding one while he was a kid. Trying to keep up with his big brother.

[Lie] - Well, we do have a lot of children in the village...

[Doc] Should I work on the horse code to see if I can make them smaller?

[Lie] - If you want, there is a size smaller than this to

[Doc] You know, you could just let TLOT size down some of the horses you have.

[Lie] Gives Doc a look-

[Doc] Returns the look with interest - crazy horse lady.

[Lie] - Shush

[HG] -walks a little away from the goats to see if they will follow-

[Doc] You guys ready to go eat?

[Goats] Some follow Hg curiously-

[Lie] - Yeah, I could use some food

[HG] doc lie look i made animal friends

[Lie] - Yup, that you did

[Doc] Aww, and they're so cute.

[Assorted goats] - Maaaaa

[HG] do you think there is a mod with goats or somewhere in the in this world we could tame one?

[Lie] - I mean, we could buy one...

[Doc] You want to buy a goat? I don't know if they're for sale?

[Lie] - Maybe not here, but somewhere, we can look around online for one

[HG] they are so cute i would want one if we could get one

[Doc] Nods understandingly- you can buy anything online. Lets go get food.

[Lie] - Yeah, let's go

[HG] -pets the goats each one more time-

[Doc] Leaves the pen with an appreciative nod at the ticket girl and walks across the pumpkin patch towards one of the houses. People are picking out pumpkins and carrying them to a grubby scale to pay for them as they pass.

[Lie] - Guess it's getting close to Halloween...

[HG] what's Halloween?

[Lie] - A holiday where you get to dress up, sometimes you get candy to

[HG] that sounds like fun

[Lie] - Oh it can be, CP mentioned to me that it's one of the only times the creepy pasta's can freely wander around

[Doc] Xe walks up the wooden steps and opens the door. Inside is a long wooden bar and a bunch of cafe tables. There are pastries for sale in the glass counter and racks and racks of wine bottles behind it. The air is thick with the smell of fresh bread and there are baskets of colorful grapes on a table near the counter. A couple sits at one of the tables staring into eachothers eyes as they share a bottle of wine and a family is muching on pastries near the huge glass window at the back of the room. Outside the view is of a small lake bordered by the rows of corn.

[Lie] - Aw, this is a quaint little place

[HG] this place is nice

[Doc] Everything smells so good. Some of this is familiar, but I don't know what these are. - pokes a grape-

[Lie] - Grapes, a fruit which grows on vines.  It's made into wine

[HG] fruit like apples does that mean we could plant them?

[Lie] - Yes, but we'd have to build trellises for them to grow on

[HG] i don't know what those are but if it needs them i wouldn't mind building them

[Lie] - It can probably be accomplished with fence posts and strings

[Doc] Picks up a bunch of dark purple grapes and goes to look in the case and order some basic things.

[Doc] Do you guys want anything specific?

[HG] i don't know what kinds of food they have here

[Lie] - Nah, just get me something you think I'll like

[Doc] Pastries, wine, cheese, lots of fresh bread...

[Clerk] We have coffee, cocoa and tea too.

[Lie] - Do you have any cherry based pastries?  I'll take one of those if you do

[Doc] Is pointing at things. - Looks like there's danishes. Let's have two of those, and these... You guys have a seat and enjoy the view, I've got this.

[Lie] - You sure?

-Distantly there's the sound of geese honking as they fly over head-

[Doc] Well you can get the drinks I guess. - Theres three mugs on the counter already, they're thick white ceramic and steaming gently. - I figured you guys wouldn't want to get drunk.

[Lie] Looks at the contents-

-Two of them are cocoa, one is coffee.

[Lie] - Um, Doc?

[HG] -takes one of the cocoas-

[Doc] Oh! You need tea don't you... dammit. Hg, you get two. I made her pour them, it's not right to waste it.

[Lie] Asks the clerk for a non-caffeinated herbal tea instead-

[HG] -grabs the second cup of cocoa as well- this smells like coco beans

[Clerk] Fusses around and makes a cup of chamomile instead.

[Lie] - That's because it's cocoa, it's made from the beans

[Doc] Motions to the remaining cup and the one that was just placed with a tea bag string over the side of it.

[HG] coco does smell good and taste good so this must be good

[Lie] Thanks the clerk and takes the last two cups- HG and I will find seats, take your time Doc

[Doc] I won't be long.

[Lie] Urges HG to follow her as they look for a small table near a window-

-Outside the wind has picked up a little and the shutters rattle against the old wood-

[HG] -is looking out the window as he follows lie-

[Lie] Chooses a table and sits down-

[HG] -sits down and takes a sip of the cocoa- oh this is both hot and taste good

[Doc] Joins them after a moment with the clerk helping hir carry their food. There's a cheese tray with crackers and a big loaf of fresh bread that's all veined through with yellow cheese as well, little butter pats, Lie's danishes, three cups of applesauce that smells of spices and was likely made in the next room, and some curls of thin-sliced ham.

[Lie] - Good choices, these look really good

[Doc] Slides into the booth and warms hir hands on the coffee cup before thanking the clerk. - Ah... it's been so stressful the last few times I went out...

[HG] this all looks so good

[Doc] I know sitting out here being sick and feeling like crap sucks. Lie and I both suffered through it too. I wanted to take you someplace nice to celebrate afterwards.

[Lie] - It's a good idea- She sips her tea

[HG] well i am having a lot of fun today

[Doc] Me too, you're both most plesant company. -  Takes a knife and cuts a bit from the bread loaves to make a little sandwich.

[Lie] Picks up one of her Danish's and starts eating-

[Doc] It's weird and complicated out here. I can't even look at things too closely without getting hung up on all the details.

[Lie] - Makes me glad that this is where I originated from

[HG] -takes a piece of cheese ad tries it- it's more complicated but i also get excited to see all the plants i have never seen before

[Doc] I have no regrets. I love my home. And I have no shame about stealing a thing here and there and sneaking it back to add to my hoarde.

[Lie] - So I've noticed

[Doc] Grins- What can I say, I'm a dragon at hearts.

[HG] i am all for a hoarde if it means more plants and animals

[Doc] Ha! Nice to see we're all on board. As long as we keep the balance of predators and prey from getting out of balance, I'm all for diversity. - Chomps on hir sandwich

[Lie] Looks out the window to just watch the scenery-

[HG] -makes a sandwich like docs so he can try it-

-The corn is moving with the breeze and rippling in gentle waves over the hillside below. The ducks have taken to the pond and are diving for little fish in the sparkling blue waters, and there's the happy sounds of goats and ponies being fed next door.

[Lie] - You know, I've been in the game so long that this all feels kinda surreal

[Doc] Bites down on a grape and makes a suprised face as it gives with a wet squish. - Yeah, we're spoiled. The weather on the server is rainy, but steady in every other way. It's usually just warm. This is what you make wine with? It tastes odd.

[HG] odd like how?

[Lie] - And at least we don't get natural disasters on the server

[Doc] I don't know, just nothing at all like anything alcoholic I've ever had. - at Lie- Yeah! I've done a little bit of reading on that kind of thing. Earthquakes are freaky, the ground just like.. moves suddenly! It's scary to think about. And lava that actually bubbles up out of the ground out of control instead of staying in nice pools?! - Xe holds a grape out to Hg, - you try one.

[Lie] - Wine is fermented, and there's another type of grape as well, there are white grapes which are actually green

[HG] -takes the grape and eat it- it's sweet

[Doc] Yeah, I've seen TLOT make the touchie wine before. But it's still sweet after it's fermented. That's why it caught me off guard.

[Doc] Is quietly taking samples of the cheeses.

[HG] -drinks more cocoa-

[Lie] - So do we have anything else planned for today?

[Doc] Not really. Just a quiet lunch and we'll have to walk back anyway. - Xe finishes hir coffee with a satisfied smile. - we can always pack up the leftovers to take with.

[Lie] - Alright, it does look like it might start raining soon...

[HG] -finishes the first cup and start on the second cup he has-

[Doc] Yeah, I just got over being sick. Fucking Dn... Hows the little NOTCH?

[HG] Dn?

[Lie] - He's one reason why CP was outside

[Doc] Yeah. My NOTCH made an appearance and bullied his way into my personal space. He's a dirtbag with a heart of ice.

[HG] he sounds mean i don't want to meet him

[Doc] He's just cold and rude. He's not openly violent thankfully. But yeah, you probably don't want to meet him.

[Lie] - Mine showed up as well, he's just a child though

[HG] -eats some sandwich-

[Doc] Runs a spoon around the edge of hir applesauce bowl to get the last smudges. - Yeah... I know you wanted to have a kid at some point, but this is ridiculious.

[Lie] - It feels more like baby sitting, not actually mine

[HG] -tries some apple sauce- this tastes like apples and something else

[Doc] It is babysitting, as ar as I'm concerened. Same. It's kinda spicy?

[Lie] - It's probably cinnamon that you're tasting

[Doc] Well it tastes good, and I'm full.

[HG] what is cinnamon? -finishes the apple sauce he has-

[Doc] I know it's a spice.

[Lie] - Mmhm

[HG] well my hunger is full now as well

[Lie] - Same, should we start heading back

[Doc] Okay, we can go. My inventory is mostly full, you guys take some of the leftovers.

[Lie] With a resigned sigh Lie does so-

[Doc] Picks up the table a bit and takes the wooden charger back to the counter. - Should we get a bottle of wine to take with?

[HG] yes and we do this again sometime

[Lie] - I don't think that's necessary...

[Doc] Okay. We've got some nice spoils as it is. - Xe heads out with them. It's gotten a little chillier outside as they head back down the road.

[Lie] Pulls her flannel shirt a bit closer-

[HG] -picks up one yellow one orange and one red leaf as they walk-

-It's getting a bit darker and the sky is lit up with hues of gold, rose and purple. -

[Doc] Is looking for Lie's trail of flowers- Sheesh.... I might need a torch...

[Lie] - Come on, we shouldn't be to far

[HG] i could run us there

[Lie] - No, that's alright

-Night falls and their shadows grow in front of them and then melt away into the surrounding darkness. -

[Doc] Takes hir contacts out and searches for the flowers with the feeble glow from hir eyes.

[Lie] Removes her sunglasses, in the fading light the glow from her hair is growing more apparent-

[Doc] Stubs hir foot on the old tv with a small cry- fuck!

[Lie] - Found it

[HG] -take his sun glasses off as well so he can see-

[Doc] Fiddles with the tv but is having some trouble with the portal- Dammit, we need to get back a bit from the road. - Xe picks up the tv and tromps deeper into the woods.

[Lie] Follows and makes sure the path behind them is covered-

[HG] -puts the three leafs in his innovatory-

[Doc] Finds a break in the trees that opens into a field, in the distance three horses watch them suspiciously, as Doc climbs over the rustic old fence.

[Lie] - Doc don't you dare leave that tv in there!

[Doc] Well I can't open the crate with the crowbar that's inside of it Lie! No matter what I do I have to leave it out here, and I need space for a runnning start if you want to get home at all.

[Lie] - But those horses are bond to investigate it once we leave, which means, knowing horses, they'll break it and potentially get hurt from it!

[HG] I can get you to go fast in a short distance

[Doc] At Hg- trust me, no.  Well find a stump outside the paddock where you can elevate it a bit. The farmer is bound to see it and dispose of it then.

[Lie] - I don't know...  This is a big field...

[Doc] Do you want to go home?

[HG] I want to go home

[Lie] - Well yes...  Wait a minute, why don't we just have CP make the opening from the other end?

[Doc] Because I'm not in the mood to hear him bitch and it still won't get rid of the tv.

[Lie] Groans-

[Lie] - Fine- She creates a stump, wide enough that the horses will have a very difficult time getting to the tv

[Doc] Checks to make sure there aren't any lights nearby and backs up from the fence. - Be ready to race in after me- Xe hunkers down and runs full force at the tv from several hundred feet away-

[Lie] Readies herself-

[HG] -readies him self to run in full speed-

[Doc] Leaps at the halfway mark and shifts in the air using hir back feet to get an extra burst of speed, as xe leaps the fence, tears a hole in reality in front of the tv and shoots inside-

[Lie] Darts inside after them-

[HG] -runs in at blur speed-

[Doc] Goes skidding across Lie's yard and gets tangled up in the swings under her bridge-

-The portal snaps closed behind them-

[Lie] Stops soon after leaving the portal-

[Lie] - Ah, home again

[HG] -runs around the swings and in a circle before coming to a stop-

[Doc] Embarassed dragon smile- Sorry Lie.

[CP] Hears the noise and steps out onto the bridge and looks over the edge- The fuck are you doing now?

[Doc] Shifts back to hir normal self and is left hanging with the swing around hir belly-nooooothing.

[CP] Hops down, his expression like that of a cat which caught the canary as he picks his wife up-

[Doc] You look happy. Did Mb come over for a fight?

[CP] - Nope

[Doc] Okay. Well I'm glad you're in a good mood for a change. - Xe turns to Hg- Thanks for going out with us. I know you won't be able to make portals yet, but we'll schedule some practice. - Xe pats the other brine on the shoulder - Have fun then, I'm heading home. - Xe hops off the swing and starts to walk away.

[CP] - Watch your feet

[Doc] I know about the honesty blossoms Cp. I'm not going to walk in them-

[CP] - Oh that's not what I'm talking about

[Doc] Looks down. - You're right. My boots are muddy. But I'm going to clean up before I change back into my regular clothes.

[CP] - Yeah I think that's the least of your problems

[Doc] Cp, are you being nasty for no reason again?

[CP] - Oh I did nothing this time

[Doc] I think I'm missing something here. If you played a mean prank while I was gone...

[CP] - I did nothing, as I've already stated, however...  Well, Splender is in a bit of a panic right now

[Doc] Oh gods... why?!

[CP] Grins broadly- He can't find Pinwheel

[Doc] He should check under his bed.

[CP] - The path to the mainland was left up

[Doc] Shrugs- I guess I'll go help him find her then. She's deadly as fuck and a bit hard to miss. But she is intelligent. There's always the chance she'll come home on her own when she gets hungry or tired.

[CP] - Up to you, but I'm keeping my wife inside

[Doc] If you wish, but again. Pinwheel isn't stupid, she's just easily stressed out. - gives the creepypasta a knowing look- She's not a monster Cp.

[CP] - She also likes to bite

[Doc] And you like to punch- walks away-
