BEING WEIRD ISN'T ENOUGH not sure why i like this pin, but i like it.

this film takes place on the cusp between the 80s and the 90s, but i loved that these kids drove these 60s/70s(?) cars, i think to signify that they were low income and couldn't afford modern cars? but i love the atmosphere in this shot.

not the greatest screencap, but i adored everything janie (lala sloatman) wore. the cat-eye glasses, the oversized pink pearl earrings, the ponytail scarf. even though i related to nora's artsy side, i wanted to be janie.

mark (christian slater) is like two different people. at home, he wears cool retro bowling shirts embroidered with the name "dick" and sasses his parents, but at school he wears bland clothing (like he wants to blend into the background) and acts all shy.

i also just really loved mimi kennedy as mark's mom, marla, using a teacup to ash her cigarette into, i just thought it was so posh!

again, loving janie's dangly statement earrings, and the colour combo with her floral bolero (?) and sweet pink dress. i didn't love nora's (samantha mathis) outfit as much, but i was intrigued by the piece she wears over her dress. it ties at the back of her neck, and i think again on her lower back, so it's like a... halter vest? the turtle necklace is pretty dope, and though you can't see it in this shot, she is also wearing purple and white striped tights.

paige's (cheryl pollak) bedroom is a dream! the floral wallpaper and the white bed are so lovely, but the seafoam green radio really makes the colour scheme pop.

man i wish i had a teacher this cool! ellen greene as jan emerson (do they call her miss emerson in the movie? i can't remember), wears the coolest outfits, and she is introduced in this amazing mustard suit accessorized with a turquoise bolo tie! the look is amazing, but it also alerts us that this film takes place in arizona.

paige, doing her WASP thing in an oversized sweater over a blouse, with a string of pearls. it's the necklace that does it for me.

i mostly just wanted to see how many celebrities i could identify in this shot: keanu reeves, johnny depp, george michael, kirk cameron, corey haim, richard grieco... (stole this image from imdb as it was much clearer than my screenshot)

i forgot that plaid wallpaper was a thing and i think it's due for a comeback. particularly loving the plaid (shirt) on plaid (wallpaper) in this scene, so cozy, like a cabin!

so many things to love in this scene: number one, the heart curtains; number two, the kitten sweatshirt (the kittens look like they might be puffy and i can feel it in my mind); number three the "homework causes brain damage" sign on the wall--classic! number four, the clear lamp filled with gumballs? and the cow hanging from it! number five and six, the blue radio and the clear phone! i want one!

did you notice that the tissue box in the highschool staff room is the same as the tissue box in the depressed student's room? do you think it was the same box?

nora's room reminded me of my own room in highschool-- walls plastered with images, and plenty of candles. i think nora might have been one of the prototypes for the manic pixie dreamgirl.

Believe It Or Not I Care

mazz's (billy morrisette) denim and leather look is good.

an example of one of mark's drab shirts, but also nora's completely adorable velvet blouse with a peter pan collar! also, i'm learning that the next time i wear a collared shirt, i need to add a long statement necklace.

so this scene is near the end of the film, and i loved mark's shirt here. i also realized that it's more of a cooler, bolder look than he has previously worn to school, so i think it's supposed to symbolize mark coming out of his shell and revealing more of his true self at school/in public. look at me, i get things.

finally, loving this floral blouse and braided leather suspender on miss emerson. i would probably wear this.

BONUS here's a picture of drew barrymore at "an event" for pump up the volume (according to imdb), i'm assuming it's the premiere, just looking cool and badass. i need that jacket.

another bonus: this adorable promo photo of christian & samantha <3

anyways, most of these pics are my own screenshots, but you should check out higher resolution images on imdb. i couldn't find any articles about the wardrobe in this film, but i did find this 30th anniversary article that was interesting.

[goblinkind]

Even numbers for the newest ask meme!

These are actually hella fucking cute y’all

2. Do you like the feeling of cold air on your cheeks on a wintery day?

No I do NOT like it because I hate it!!!

4. How do you take your coffee/tea?

I either drink black coffee or coffee with cream in it. I do not like sugar in my coffee ever at all.

I do like to pour honey in my tea, though.

6. Do you keep plants?

Yep! I have three plants at college and one plant at my grandma’s house. (I used to have more, but I gave them to my friend Cassie.)

8. What artistic medium do you use to express your feelings?

Pencils, ink and markers are my go-to. I also use watercolor pencils on occasion.

10. Do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?

Sometimes I sleep on my back; sometimes I sleep on my side. Never on my stomach, though, because my boobs don’t like it.

12. What’s your favorite planet?

It hasn’t been discovered yet, but I know it’s out there!

14. If you were to live with your best friend in an old flat in a big city, what would it look like?

Gay.

16. What’s your favorite pasta dish?

It’s, uh, Velveeta mac and cheese. I just bought an eight-pack of it last night!

18. Tell us about something dumb/funny you did that has since gone down in history between you and your friends and is always brought up.

Uh, well… there was the time I introduced myself to this dude (who’s literally always stoned) and he thought my name was Genevieve. My friend Eli went to correct him, but I interrupted them and just went along with it.

It’s been like three months and the dude still thinks my name is Genevieve.

20. What’s your favorite eye color?

Brown!

22. Are you a morning person?

Noooo.

24. Is there someone out there you would trust with every single one of your secrets?

Honestly, no. My secrets are secret for a reason.

26. What are the shoes you’ve had for forever and wear with every single outfit?

It used to be my black studded boots, but I basically wore them to death. So now it’s my white Nikes.

28. Sunrise or sunset?

Sunset!

30. Think of it: have you ever been truly scared?

Uh, yeah. I get “truly scared,” like, every single night when I remember that one scary movie series I watched two years ago.

32. Tell us a story of something that happened to you after 3AM when you were with friends.

Okay. One night morning, my BFF K and I were, y’know, havin’ a sleepover

And I think he left the room to like, to go pee or something

And I kinda just rambled to myself the entire time he was gone

And he came back but I didn’t notice

And I told this loooong bullshit story about a dude who, like, does weird stuff to freak out his neighbors or some shit

And that’s how my OC Mug was born.

34. Tell us about the stuffed animal you kept as a kid. what is it called? What does it look like? Do you still keep it?

Her name is Birdy and she’s a canary from IKEA who gets nosebleeds. She’s yellow and has embroidered-on big red nostrils and blue eyes and K’s mom sewed up her wings (which were starting to fall off) and my roommate sewed up her tummy (which got bitten by a dog). Of course I still have her. She’s in my dorm room right now.

36. Which band’s sound would fit your mood right now?

Fall Out Boy! They make me feel tough but also nostalgic. I was listening to “Where Did the Party Go?” today in the shower.

38. Tell us about your pet peeves!

That’s easy: when someone tries to correct me but it turns out they’re the one who’s wrong. (This happens a lot with grammar.)

40. Think of a piece of jewelry you own: what’s its story? Does it have any meaning to you?

Cassie gave me a necklace with an agate and amethyst pendant on it for Christmas. There isn’t really a story behind it other than that, though. I just really love Cassie.

42. Do you have a favorite coffee shop? Describe it!

I really like the Panera next to my old outpatient facility! I used to show up early and go there and draw Rick and Morty fan art. It was nice to have some time to ground myself before a long day of therapy.

44. When was the last time you remember feeling completely serene and at peace with everything?

Uh, last night, probably. Last night when I was falling asleep.

46. Tell us the worst pun you can think of.

I can’t. I can’t think of one at the moment. But here’s a good one that somebody else made!

48. What was your biggest fear as a kid? Is it the same today?

It was “people with scary smiles who wanted to hurt me”

And yeah, that’s still my biggest fear. I’m also still scared of scary music.

50. What’s an odd thing you collect?

I collect hex codes! Sometimes I’ll thumb through them when I’m taking a study break and it’ll calm me down.

52. What are your favorite memes of the year so far?

I still don’t entirely understand it, but I do enjoy the “you know I had to do it to ‘em” meme!

54. Who’s the last person you saw with a true look of sadness on their face?

Uhhhh, Max.

56. What are some things you find endearing in people?

I like people who say things in a funny way. Like, what they’re saying isn’t necessarily funny, but the words they use and their inflection are.

My dad is one of those people. One time, my family was all packed into the car after a vacation in the mountains. My mom got out to check that we hadn’t left anything in the hotel room, and when she came back, my dad yelped. He’d spilled some of her Diet Coke on his hand.

My mom: What? What’s wrong?

My dad: *very agitated* It’s this—this—this Coca-Cola!! >:( >:( >:(

58. Who’s the wine mom and who’s the vodka aunt in your group of friends? Why?

At one point, Max has figured out who was whom. I don’t remember what they ended up deciding, though. I’ll have to ask them later.

60. Do you like poetry? What are some of your fav[orite poems]?

I do! My dad is actually a published poet. When I was little, he wrote a poem out of a bunch of nonsense that I’d said and he’d written down and saved. That’s my favorite poem.

(P.S. If you want to read two other poems by my dad, click here.)

62. Do you drink juice in the morning? Which kind?

I know it’s kinda weird, but I’ve fallen into the habit of ordering a lemonade every morning before class.

64. What color is the sky where you are right now?

It’s like, kinda white. White-grey I guess. Mostly just white.

66. What would your ideal flower crown look like?

It would look just like the one Eli made me for my birthday, but with spikes!

68. What’s winter like where you live?

In a word? HORRIBLE.

70. Have you ever used a Ouija board?

Yeah, with my friend Spooks. It spelled out “E-D H-E-L-M-S.”

72. Are you a person who needs to note everything down or else you’ll forget it?

Yes! Because of my OCD, I get very anxious whenever I forget anything. So the writing stuff down that I do can actually be an unhealthy compulsion in my case.

74. Describe a good friend of yours without using their name or gendered pronouns.

Uh, okay. Well I have this friend who’s kinda sassy and says weird stuff. They’re gay and they talk about their S/O a lot. Also they always make jokes about how they’re ready to die and it’s kind of concerning.

And they have a soft pretty voice and like to wear long skirts. And I love them. And I wish I could see them more but I know there’s a good reason why I can’t.

Oh! And they’re really smart.

76. Is there anything you should be doing right now but aren’t?

…I don’t like this question.

78. Are you in the Minion hateclub or fanclub?

I do hate Minions, but I wouldn’t say I’m in their hateclub because I also associate them with my therapist. And I love my therapist.

80. What color are your bedroom walls? Did you choose that color? If so, why?

My bedroom walls at home are lavender. I chose the color when I was younger because it used to be my favorite. (I’m still really happy with the walls.)

82. Are/were you good in school?

Nope!

84. Are you planning on getting tattoos? Which ones?

Probably not. My parents don’t believe in tattoos.

86. Do you like concept albums? Which ones?

Does Crybaby count as a concept album? I like Crybaby!

88. Are there any artistic movements you particularly enjoy?

I like the meme-y one that made everyone confused and angry. Dadaism. I like that one.

90. Talk about your one of you favorite cities.

I really like Seattle! It has a lot of jerks in it but it’s fun to walk around and it has fun festivals and art fairs. Plus, I hear it has some really cool gay neighborhoods.

92. Are you a person who drowns their pasta in cheese or a person who barely sprinkles a pinch?

The former. I love cheese.

94. Who was the last person you know to have a birthday?

Eli! Their birthday was last Friday.

96. Do you install your computer updates really quickly or do you procrastinate on them a lot?

I tend to stay pretty on top of my computer updates.

98. When’s the last time you went hiking? Did you enjoy it?

It was over the summer and NO. I HAAAATED it.

100. If you were presented with two buttons, one that allows you to go 5 years into the past, the other 5 years into the future, which one would you press? Why?

I’d go to the future. Everyone knows it’s safer to mess with the future than with the past!

True Nature Of A Royal Chapter 3

Graciously spellchecked by @agentzanotto

Raz flew quietly through the dark woods, trying to stay high within the tree tops, hoping to not be spotted by anyone who may still be in the woods. His eyes darted from side to side, trying to find a spot to land where he would still be hidden. Eventually he found a thick enough branch, high enough in the leaves that he could safely land on it without it snapping or it being too open. He landed on the branch, sighing as he went into his semi form, a mix between his human and royal form. For the most part he looked human, aside from the pair of golden wings on his back, the long orange tail with flames, and how his ears had small feathers growing out of them. Raz leaned back on the branch, allowing himself some time to get his bearings. Looking at the stars he concluded he was about 40 miles away from his home and was well more than 60 or 70 miles away from Whispering Rock. He let out another sigh as he once again took off into the sky.

Raz had only been flying for a few minutes before a sharp pain hit him in his left wing, causing him to fall to the group with a yelp. He looked around frantic before his eyes landed on who had shot him down. Standing a couple yards away from him was a tall person, presumably male due to the flat chest. The person wore all camo except for their face, which was hidden thanks to a wolf mask. ‘A monster,’ Raz thought, as his eyes locked onto the shotgun the person held, covered in rust and aimed right at him. With quick agility, Raz ran into the underbrush, going into his royal form as he did, leaping from side to side as he could hear gunshots blaring into the night sky. The sound of boots stomping the ground hit his ears as he realized he was being chased down. Another sudden pain hit Raz’s hind leg, causing him to trip and fall. He quickly got up as the sound of the person coming towards him grew louder. Raz tried to run, but could only do a quick limp as a result to his injured leg.

The sounds of cars hit Raz’s ears as he limped, filling him with a small thing of hope. Monsters, as desperate as they wish for his kind to be killed, were not stupid enough to shoot near other people. As quickly as he could, Raz shifted into his human form and made a break to the road. Another shot echoed as a pain hit Raz’s other leg, he was so close to the safety of the road, only a few more feet. Raz crawled, tears filling his eyes, he was so close to safety, he couldn't get caught now. With a few more pushes, he made it, out of the brush of the woods, and onto the soft grass by the road. He looked at the few cars and trucks that went by before standing up, nearly falling over due to his injured legs. He limped over to the side of the road and began to flag down cars, hoping someone would stop. Hope filled Raz as he saw a logging truck pull over to where he was. The passenger door opened and Raz hopped inside.

The seating part of the truck was small, but at the same time cozy. A soft smell of pine trees hit Raz’s nose as he put on his seat belt.

“Thank you so much,”Raz said before turning to whoever had saved him. It was a middle aged man who had dark skin, darker hair, soft brown eyes, and a small, curly beard. He was clad in a red flannel with a white shirt underneath it and dark blue jeans. “It was no problem, kid.” The man said as he started driving once more. “I can’t leave a fellow royal behind.” The moment he said this he pulled out from underneath his shirt the charm from a necklace he was wearing. The charm was a brown diamond with a dark emerald green leaf in the middle.

“How did you know I was a-”

“I could sense your aura from a mile away, literally.” The man looked over to Raz with a smile, before noticing his leg. “There are a some bandages if you need them in the glove box.” He said as he turned back to the road.

“Nah I’ll be fine, they’ll heal soon, but if it were near my head, then we’d have an issue,” Raz said as he rubbed his legs. One of them were already healed, while the other one was still healing.

“So kid, where ya headin’ exactly?”

“Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp.” Raz said with a monotone voice, as he began to realize the weight of what he was doing. ‘If I run away, what will happen to Lizzy or Melody, or heck anyone from my family, how will dad react…. Dad.” a scowl came across Raz’s face ‘He would be happy I’m gone, finally having a purebred human family.’ “Step on it.” Raz said, determination and rage in his voice. The man nodded as he picked up speed and turned onto another road, passing a sign that read “Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp - 40 miles”.

~~~

The 2 drove in silence, the only sounds being the truck and the cars that drove by. After 40 minutes or so, the man broke the silence “So kid, why are you headin’ to Whispering Rock? Why aren't you back home with your family?”

Raz looked up from his now healed leg and turned to the man. “I have no family, not anymore.” Anger and hatred lined Raz’s voice as he dug through his bag before pulling out a picture. The picture had 3 people in it, 2 of them were young, maybe 4 or 5, while one was 7 or so, the older in the middle of the 2. “I’m heading to Whispering Rock, my friend Gigi is staying there, so I figured I’d go too, since I’m psychic and all.” Raz lied, well, except for the psychic part. The man raised an eyebrow at Raz’s reason but shrugged, continuing down a beaten up pathway until he pulled up to a massive gate with the sign “Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp” above it.

“Well kid,” The man said as he parked the car, “Here’s your stop.”

Raz nodded and hopped out of the truck, stretching his arms and back from being in the car for 45 minutes straight, much longer than he was used to. The two said their goodbyes before the man drove off, leaving Raz alone outside the gate. He looked up at it. It was at least 15 feet tall, not including the sign. In mere seconds, Raz shifted into his royal form and flew over the gate and into a tree, wrapping his tail around its branches as he allowed the new sights and smells to wash over him. He could smell each animal that roamed around, each kind of tree and plant that grew, the scent of burgers, burnt and cold hit his nostrils when his head had turned to a massive building not too far away from him. He turned his head to the left, seeing a faint glow of a fire. ‘That must be where everyone is at,’ Raz thought as he took off into the air, once again landing in a tree, this one being right behind all the campers. Raz shifted into his semi form as he sat on the branch, listening to the various chatter and gossip. It didn't last long, as a short man in an army uniform walked onto the stage, which was just a big tree stump.

“The human mind. 1600 miles of synaptic fiber, 5 and a half ounces of cranial fluid, 1500 grams of complex nuromatter, a 3 pound pile of dreams.” The man said as he walked in front of a brain projected onto the back of the stump.

“But I’ll tell you what it really is. It is the ultimate battlefield, and the ultimate weapon. The wars of this modern age, the psychic age, are all fought somewhere between these damp, curvaceous, adulations. From this day forward, you are all psychic soldiers, paranormal paratroopers, mental marines who are about to ship off on the adventure of their lives!” He took the small staff he was holding and gestured it to the projection brain “This is our beach head,” He then hit his hat with the staff “and THIS is your landing craft. You shall engage the enemy in his own mentality. You shall chase his dreams, you shall fight his demons, you shall live his nightmares. And those of you who fight well, you will find yourself on the path on becoming international secret agents. In other words….PSYCHONAUTS!”

~~~

Raz stared in awe at the man’s words,was it true? Did he really have a chance to do something with his life? Was it possible for him to be able to work alongside these people, the Psychonauts? “The rest of you...” Raz’s ears swiveled over back to the man’s voice as he began talking again. “Will DIE.” Raz wasn’t in as much shock as everyone else was at the man’s words. ‘I will die? Please, I knew that the moment I was born.’ He thought.

~~~

The kids were all silent at the coach's words, however the silence didn't last long as one camper, a small bluish colored boy wearing a tinfoil hat began to cry, causing the other kids to flinch back.

From the stage, a pale green German man and a Brazilian woman walked to the end of the stage. “Ugh. Morry.” The German man said in a monotone voice.

“Children, you're not going to die.” The Brazilian woman said in a sweet voice, her accent very heavy compared to the man.

“Well, if you’re not a Psychonaut, then you might as well be dead.” The short man said with a harsh tone.

“They told me this was a summer camp...” The kid from earlier continued to cry. Behind him two kids, one with a orange afro and one with huge ears looked at each other with menacing faces, the afro one jerking his thumb over to the crying kid.

“Oh, Dogen.” The red headed girl next to him said. “Don't worry about old coach Oleander. I’ve been coming here for years and trust me, nothing ever happens.”

“Yeah Dogen, Lili’s right you got nothing to worry about!” The afro kid said, his teeth to big, hanging past his lips as he speaked “Except for that giant monster in the lake I was telling you about...” He leaned towards Dogen, who was shaking from fear.

“BOBBY ZILCH, I TOLD YOU TO STOP SCARING PEOPLE WITH THAT RIDICULOUS OLD LEGEND!” Oleander said yelling towards the afro boy. “I don't want the kids to be afraid to go out at night and walk the perfectly safe paths of Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. And we don't want to scare our special guest, superstar psychonauts Sasha Nein,” He gestured to the pale green german man “And Milla Vodello!” Oleander said, gesturing to the brazilian woman.

~~~

“Sasha Nein and Milla Vodello...” Raz whispered to himself as he watched the scene play out. He had heard about those two, not much, but he had an idea of who they were. He remembered Gigi talking about them once on his birthday, about how they were heroes of the mind. He never really understood the whole thing, only ever learning bits and parts about them from the True Psychic Tale magazines he would get after the performances, there was usually one or two of them in the bleachers that some kid had dropped.

Crack.

Raz’s eyes widen as he looked down at the branch, small cracks on it. Crack.

He swallowed as he looked down at it, muttering an “oh no”.

SNAP.

With a yelp of surprise, Raz fell, going into his human form as the branch gave away. He landed on the ground with a thud before feeling a strange force pull him closer to the campers. Desperately, Raz dug his fingers into the earth, trying to escape, but it was no use and let go, allowing himself to be taken away.
