#if you didn't know about the special endings that didn't technically make it into tv canon

[drwcn]

cdramas be like I know a spot and take you to the most devastating and vaguely prophetic ending.

[chronicbeans]

OMGosh OMGosh OMGosh!!!!!!! That was so good! I didn’t expect that ending at all! But now I have so many more questions?!?!!!!

What is a day like in Welcome Home now? How does reader get through it? Do they legit worship her like a deity with offerings, bowing, etc.?

How is life outside of the TV? What happened to Henry and Angela? What happens to the Welcome Home puppeteers and other cast?!

Do they try to save the reader, or is all hope almost immediately lost?

Does Wally try to start a romantic relationship with the reader, or is it all platonic idol worship within the bounds of a romantic relationship?

Is Y/N technically a prop now? Is the Welcome Home cast still puppeted or do they have physical free-will now?

(Sorry for so many questions, but I’m dying to know!!!! AAAA I WANT MORE OF THIS FICCCCC!!!! 🥹😩😭🤯💕💕💕💕👌👍👏)

No worries! It is alright! I like writing about this dynamic. If I didn't, I wouldn't have offered to write more for it. So, having a lot of questions is perfectly welcome!

Life in Welcome Home for a Puppeteer Reader:

📽️ So, you're in Welcome Home now. What is going on in this lovely little place? Well, Wally is constantly going to be by your side, that's for sure. The neighbors will also be around whenever they can be.

📽️ The way the neighbors "worship" you is a bit odd compared to how you thought they would. Wally, of course, has deemed himself "The Chosen One" or some other odd name of the day (he can't decide. He just knows he's special, though), because he was the only one who was able to go to your world. Well, that was until he found a way to take others with him... But he did that himself. It wasn't natural. So, they all listen to both you and Wally.

📽️ Wally says they should just go about their days and always be kind to you. The only real offerings they give you is food, because they can't eat, but you need to. Before you arrived, food was more like an art piece to be put of a shelf until it went bad. Now, though, the neighbors will flock to Poppy's or Howdy's to get food, just for you! They want to be in your good graces.

📽️ Their kindness also borders on creepy. They all just go wide-eyed, their pupils expanding a bit like Wally's, as they give you praise for whatever you do in their presence. Sometimes, you swear that you could kill one of them and the others would just say something like "Yay! Yippee! You did good! They deserved it! How smart you are for noticing that! It was so obvious! How didn't we notice? Oh! It's because we aren't as amazing as you!"

📽️ Wally is probably very conflicted with himself. His plan, ever since the others had started to think about the possibility of you existing, was to take you here and to be your most devoted follower. He's got that, so why doesn't he feel fulfilled? Why does he also dislike how his neighbors get so close to you when you go outside? He will probably have to talk to Home about it. Home has always been there for him, even when the others were avoiding him due to their lack of faith in your existence. Home will help! If or when he realizes that he might not love you as just his puppeteer, but also in a romantic way, he'll think that it is the sweetest thing ever! His praise will definitely take a slightly more romantic turn, but the main problem is that his way of worshipping once you were brought to the neighborhood was already a bit more romantic. So, you probably won't notice it unless he tells you straight up how he feels.

📽️ Speaking of Home, you live with Wally, now. It just makes sense in everybody's eyes! Wally brought you here and is your most devoted follower. There is also the fact that, if anybody tried to hurt you, Home can keep them out (and keep you locked in)! You just stay inside all day, whenever it isn't "showtime". Wally is always by your side, though, keeping you company! Hugs and cuddles will make you feel better, right? He's noticed how upset you have been and is sure that he is the only one that can help! He'll show you the room he has dedicated entirely to you, which is filled wall to wall to floor to ceiling with drawings, paintings, and poems all about you! He is confused about why you seem so scared by this room.

📽️ You don't necessarily have to puppeteer everyone. You aren't really able to, either. In the neighborhood, the places where you would put your hands and puppeteer them don't exist. They are kind of like humans, just made of felt and filled with fluff. Everyone does have free will. They just act like they don't and don't believe they do. They do whatever you tell them without question. Sometimes, though, Wally likes to sit on your lap and pretend that you are puppeteering him in the "old-fashioned" way, as he says. He just has you place your hand on his back or neck and grab one of his arms to move around. Sometimes the others watch and are amazed, as if you are actually controlling him. If I had to explain how it would look like for anyone watching, just imagine the human cast in Sesame Street. You are a human in a world of puppets.

🎥 The world outside of the show is chaotic, to say the least (at least for the people that knew you). Henry probably watches the show everyday just to see you. He quickly learned that, although he can hear and see you, you can only see him. So he's been having Angela write down what he wants to say, then he presses is against the screen to talk to you. Angela, although she hasn't gotten over her fear of puppets, has been watching Welcome Home, too. She needs to see you. She really misses you. They would help, but they don't know how.

🎥 Back at the studio, they all quickly realized something was horribly wrong. They have a television in the break room that they use to make sure there isn't any broadcasting errors. The first person that saw you on the screen and realized you weren't around the studio immediately went and got as many people as they could. This included Wally's voice actor and the boss.

🎥 Your boss' decision was very simple. SHUT IT ALL DOWN AND CANCEL EVERYTHING. Everyone, especially Wally's voice actor, was heavily against it. What would happen to you? You would just be... stuck there! They had no say, though, and the show was promptly shut down. A few more reruns were aired. During one of them, Wally's voice actor had showed up on the other side of the screen, and let you know that the show was cancelled.

🎥 The world of Welcome Home is odd after the last rerun. Everything seems darker and everyone seems a bit paranoid. Wally especially is afraid. Before, they all had two purposes: keep you happy and make a good show for your world. Now that one purpose is gone, they have decided to double-down on keeping you happy. It is so hard, though, now that you can't see your world again. Most of the time, everyone is just crowded inside of Home, sitting around you and trying to cheer you up. The scariest part of these moments is how the world is so dark, you need candles to see. So, everyone is lit up with an eerie, flickering glow.

Modern setting, no upside down, yadda yadda.

10 years into their successful career, the rock/metal band Corroded Coffin announces a surprise collab/cover. There's so much specualation about it, what's it going to be?! Metallica? Something from Iron Maiden? So many options!

Steve Harrington's friend Dustin keeps talking about it nonstop. Keeps bringing up theories, going through all the possible songs with young Wheeler. And Steve would really love to share their enthusiasm, but it's just not his cup of tea, all that yelling and guitars and torn clothes, thank you.

Then the song drops, along with a very precisely recreated video.

It's not Metallica. It's not Iron Maiden either.

It's this.

Dustin and Mike are...confused. Partially furious. Also very entertained. Especially when the singer/lead guitarist says the following in an interview: "We've always been more than a little stupid. Well, guess what! Now we can be stupid AND get paid for it! We had this bet for the last 10 years, that if we really make it, we'll do a cover of something silly, something no one expected from us. And here it is!"

Steve respects that. And it finally piques his interest enough that he watches the video.

He wants to laugh. He wonders if a beer or two would make the clip make more sense. Except the lead guy is having so. Much. Fun. He has tattoos everywhere, the white looks good in him and...and.

The worst of all is, Dustin knows that look on Steve's face. "Steve. I swear on my mother, if you end up sleeping with my favorite guitarist and breaking his heart, I'll never forgive you."

Several Corroded Coffin shows later, months into finding out that Eddie is actually a massive and sweet dork, after a failed stage dive that results in Steve The Paramedic (as the CC fandom now calls him) treating Eddie's sprained ankle while bitching about the unsafe working conditions and lack of proper equipment, they meet for a thank you dinner. They exchange numbers. They flirt over phones, fall in love, all that good stuff. In several months, Eddie announces on TV he's dating someone very special.

"I guess you didn't technically break my conditions," Dustin grumbles and buries his face in the decorative pillows on Steve's couch when Eddie grins at the interviewer when they ask him for any comments on his new relationship.

"Only one thing. I believe in a thing called love."

Real

Requested by anonymous: Heyyyy, I don't really know when this is going to get to you, but I have been reading your prince of tennis imagines and they were really really good, so I was wondering if you could maybe write one on ji jingwu, I don't really have a plot but something fluff. Thank youuuuuuuu❤️❤️

Pairing: Ji Jingwu x reader

Word Count: 1.4k words

Not just anyone could catch Jingwu's eye, they had to be an exceptional person. Which was why many believed him to have an interest in Si-Yang, since he was one of the people that Jingwu actually seemed to like. That was a whole fan club on it's own, one that Jingwu wished he could just disband and he had tried to no avail. But unlike what most people believed or the ridiculous standards they had invented for Jingwu's "ideal type", the person he actually liked was just a normal person. Not an tennis prodigy, not someone you'd only see on tv and certainly not the number one student. Just a person.

And that person was you.

You didn't really get how you ender up with a boyfriend like Jingwu, nor did you get why he ever approached you. You knew well enough that Jingwu had a lot of people that wanted to date him, you even remembered when that female makeup youtuber approached him after school and you just as well remember the look on her face after being harshly rejected. Although you felt bad for her, she clearly had never been rejected before, you were also just glad as Jingwu walked your way. You also didn't miss the fact that he suddenly threw his arm around your shoulder unlike usual where he remained a small distance from you.

At the end of the day, you didn't cared about how it all happened and you rather just care for your relationship itself. Why? Because Jingwu is quite a character.

On one hand, he was kind and thoughtful. He took you on plenty of dates, some of them more for your sake then for his, and his gifts never stopped. On the other hand, he was completely oblivious and didn't really realize when he was being a bit insensitive. He was usually uncaring to others, especially to his teammates, so that tended to also apply to you without him realizing. Then again, you kinda knew that he was like that when you started to date him. Then again, he was more affectionate then people often believed. He walked you to school, even though you lived thirty minutes from him and then thirty minutes from school which meant he had to leave an hour earlier than he would usually have to do, and he also held your hand all the way to your classroom. When school was finished, you'd make your way to the training grounds where you waited for him to finish his hourly training before he walked you back home. During lunch, he'd sit with you (accompanied by Chonghong), and made sure you ate well before bidding you goodbye at the end with a kiss on your forehead. If he doesn't or can't do one of those things, you'd find a note in your locker along with a small gift and he'd make sure that he could make it up to you.

Today was one of those days, he had no school today thanks to the tournament that would take place later today. Although it was technically after school hours, he would be practicing the rest of the day due to the school's request. The small paper roses in your locker were already enough, but the fact that they were little notes when you opened them was even more special in a way. You didn't want to think of how long it took for the handful of notes to be made, just the fact that he did it was enough. So you read every single one, careful to not rip the paper as you opened it before storing them in your little box of notes. It started at a joke, but Jingwu took it as some kind of challenge to fill the box up. He was almost finished, only a few more notes and it would be full. After reading all of them, you quickly packed up before continuing your school day like any other.

"Do you think Jingwu will win?" Someone passed by you, but you were aware that the question was not directed at you. Nonetheless, you shook your head softly as some kind of response, not that the two giggling girls noticed. You pulled your bag out of your locker, filling it with the necessary stuff before slamming your locker shut again as you felt a presence beside you along with soft whispers.

"Couldn't wait until I came, huh?" You turned your head to look at your boyfriend, who rolled his eyes at your statement before grabbing your bag from your hands and slinging it over his shoulder. You knew you wouldn't win against him, so you didn't argue and just took ahold of his hand with a bright smile.

"Let's go then, you can't be late!" "They won't mind." He responded and you gave a quick nudge in between his ribs, claiming that it was rude for him to do so. He didn't care much for punctuation when it came to meeting his opponents, but you were and often had to drag him there so he was on time. He already had a bad reputation with his competitors, he really didn't need to add anymore to that. You parted ways at the stands, you moved to the front row while Jingwu moved to the field while actively ignoring the fact that his team seemed more excited than him to see you. The match started and you cheered for every single player before pausing as Jingwu stood up for his match. You didn't cheer, unlike most of the stands, and instead you just remained quiet. He needed to concentrate and you knew he couldn't do that with the loud cheers from behind, but he quickly shushed everyone with a raise of his hand. He turned his head to face you and you gave him a thumbs up, which he returned with a smirk before focusing on his opponent. You knew the outcome, his opponent was a second year student that was clearly nervous like it was his first match. It didn't seem un-logical, there were no third years present even though you knew their used to be before. That and the fact that he missed the first 2 serves without even having time to move. Jingwu was not going easy, but then again he never did that. It only took 15 minutes for Jingwu to win, his opponent was on the ground while panting loudly. Jingwu didn't care, turning around and facing you again.

"Shake his hand." You mouthed and although your boyfriend seemed displeased by the suggestion, he followed your request as he walked to the net and held out his hand. When done, he marched to the side and took the towel from Chonghong before sitting down.

"(Y/n)!" A happy voice sounded from beside you and you gave a smile to Song Ci as he stepped closer.

"Thank you for talking captain out of letting me play~" He yawned loudly as he leaned on your shoulder, hugging your arm softly and you scoffed.

"Well, you might not be so lucky as you think." He looked back up, eyes filled with worry before looking at Jingwu, who was glaring daggers at the man beside you.

"You have extra training next week... Extra 2 hours every day." You patted his back as you grabbed your bag again, giving Song Ci an innocent smile before walking off. You didn't have to wait long by the exit for Jingwu to arrive, he never took long after the results were announced and he always found you without needing directions. His arm was quick to snake around your waist, leading you away from the group before you could even congratulate them for their win.

"The bus stop is that way." You commented, but Jingwu didn't listen as he sat down on a bench and pulling you down to sit next to him. When you did, his head dropped on your shoulder as he sighed.

"You did good, well done." You petted his head and Jingwu sighed again, pushing his head closer to you and settling in the crook of your neck. You remained quiet as your hand tugged at his hair, listening to his breathing.

Although he was a difficult character most of the time, these were the moments that you realized who Jingwu really was. And you were honored that he showed this side of him so easily to you.

A Light in the Clouds

14-1/2 months ago, Hurricane Ida flooded my basement apartment, and uprooted my family. The brony community came to my aid in a truly inspiring and deeply moving way. For that, I will always be grateful. You helped me get back on my feet.

It was also in that period in my life that My Little Pony: A New Generation dropped.

I'll never forget it. It was 3:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Just a few days before I was to return to work. (I was fortunate enough to be able to take an unpaid leave so that I could excavate debris, and salvage what little I could). Technically, I didn't have to get up in the morning, but I was sleeping on a gym mat in my brother-in-law's home office, (because there was literally nowhere else for me to go). And by 7am, my sleep was destined to be interrupted each morning by other members of my family's morning routine preparing for work.

But I fired up Netflix anyway. Just to get a little taste.

I didn't expect much of Generation 5, to be honest. I went into it knowing that Friendship is Magic was impossible to live up to. I tried with all of my might not to get my hopes too high.

I remember laying there, watching the first 15 minutes, knowing that I had little time left before I had to get to sleep. I remember the exhilaration. The surprise. It was such a joy to hear the voices of the Mane Six again.

That was the absolute last thing that I expected, and I knew in that moment, that, whatever direction A New Generation took, it was going to be filled with love for the source material. An homage to everything that made Friendship is Magic wonderful.

There was such hope in that initial conversation between Argyle and filly Sunny. Such love. In that moment, I wept.

Now, I didn't get to finish the movie that night. I had no choice. I ended up watching the whole thing a few days later in my car in the parking lot of the laundromat where I was still salvaging mold-infested clothes.

I shared it with my friend who I'd met through the fandom back in 2011.

Months later, I shared the movie with my grown daughter - who had long ago quit MLP entirely. And though I only intended to show her the opening, she got completely sucked into the story, and we ended up watching the entire movie together.

Sometimes a movie is special because of the people you share it with - because of the time in your life it brought you comfort. A New Generation was not a perfect film, (and Make Your Mark even less so), but in a way, I also shared it with all of you.

The fandom has always been a deeply immersive social experience. I think that's the thing a lot of people tend to forget.

So many fandoms are drowned in cries of remakes and reboots and sequels and prequels "ruining our childhood." And while I wholeheartedly agree that franchise films have gotten out of control, I do want to point out that it's impossible for a bad movie to ruin your childhood. It's impossible for a bad TV show to ruin your childhood.

Corporate intellectual properties really go out of their way to imprint brand loyalty on young minds. It's an insidious and sleazy process, to be honest.

But no matter how powerful a story may have been for you - or how immersive a fantasy universe - it's the people we share that enthusiasm with that ultimately give that experience deeper meaning.

We, as human beings, generally define ourselves by our social relations. For us, love of MLP is a love of Equestria itself. And our love of Equestria has been colored by a social experience of absolutely insane memes, media, music, stories, and art.

Even Lauren Faust herself said that, when she created MLP:FiM, and added humor and storylines that might appeal to adults as well as children, it was her hope that parents and kids might enjoy watching it together.

I've enjoyed watching MLP together with all of you. And I'll never forget the magic I felt, lying on a gym mat at 3am - the joy of having something new to talk about once again. Something to experience. Something to share.

[ciaossu-imagines]

Yeah. And it was nice to see them all together like that instead of separate. And thank you for the consideration. Also, I’ll say now since that I’ve started the manga, it’s an okay adaptation. Like in my mind it’s like a Sparknotes version of what happens in the manga because it skips over some things that even happened in the earlier chapters just so that they could do the main plot they wanted to do. Like I think I’m at what happened in episode 5 and there are so many more scenes that I’m glad I got to see.

Yeah. I checked and technically it’s one movie and two specials. Like ‘The Book of Murder’ (which is actually based on the Phantomhive Manor Murders arc) is two long episodes and then the next one is a movie based on he next arc. Man voices Charles Grey if you’re curious. And fair enough. The manga is better, especially since the second season was something else. And I don’t think it’s ended yet. My friend is a huge fan of the series so she’ll probably tell me when it comes to an end. Also, since we’re talking about Black Butler, Yata’s VA did Grelle which was also very nice to hear.

Thank you. It’s just my own standards I guess 😅 True. That’s how I always am after all even though I do tend to look forward to replies from you and other people I talk to. And cool. I saw that you said some stuff and will also reply to that once I’ve typed everything I have to out. And it’s nice that you finally have the time to do so 😃 And that’s great to hear that you’re ahead of schedule. Your break is more than deserved then.

It is and so fun. Yeah. Definitely. I hope if I do write something, I can properly put it in. Hopefully my ideas are vague enough that it doesn’t have to come to it. Or in another turn, which I very much doubt, I might be far enough not to be spoiled too much by what you say 😅 But yeah, I’ll be curious to see what you have to say about them once I get around to sending them. Yeah. I will do that since you gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. I’ve still got to clear it all up and write something you asked me to do so I’ll do that and will give you what my brain has given me. I see. That’s nice. I wonder whether my opinion will change on Licht as I read more of the manga.

I’m sorry to hear that you have to wait that long. And what kind of other places are there where you have to fight to get a copy of you prescription? And yeah, same. Like we have a reasonably big TV but I still always have to go quite close to it whenever I’m not wearing my glasses to properly see what’s going on. Thank you. And so true about music. It’s a beautiful thing to exist. Sure thing.

Oh I see. And it makes sense. The summary of Deadman Wonderland sounded quite gruesome so it’s bound to get quite graphic at times. I see. It’s been many years ago that I read the Bleach manga so I just remember vague things here and there so I didn’t really realise it was that bad of an adaptation. But that’s really interesting to know. Number One will also be forever one of my faves, even though I don’t listen to it often and yeah, I also remember the dub being good so that’s also nice. And I see. Manga’s are good for minor characters. Yeah. Thank you so much and hope the same to you 😁

C

I'm glad it was nice and helpful! And now that you've started the manga (which YAY!), it's really interesting to see your general opinions of it and that they do match what the others were saying and even my own belief that there's enough scenes that didn't get animated to really justify starting it from the beginning. I'm so happy you're enjoying it and that, wow, you're already so far into the manga! I wish you lots of happiness as you continue to go along (even happiness in the more angsty sections haha, because angst can be fun).

And thank you for that information. I really hadn't known that they made specials out of the Phantomhive Manor Murders arc, though that one I just might watch because I had really enjoyed that particular arc of the manga and am curious as to the voices they would have gotten for some of the characters that were introduced. I'm glad to hear some agreement that the manga is better…it was just a really beautiful manga to me, art-wise, and I really couldn't get even the subtle differences in the art to make it easier to animate, so I didn't even want to try the anime. But I have heard a lot of people say the second season of the anime was just absolutely wild and messed up and, if what I've heard is true, it's not even really all that connected to the manga? And that's surprising to me, that Yata's voice is also Grelle's. That voice actor really does do a lot of roles, and voices really a wide range of character types and I am here for it.

Aww, it's always nice to hear that people look forward to my replies. In my mind, there's always that thought of 'well, now that I've written an entire frigging novel to them, that's probably the last I'll hear from them' because my replies are always so long and chatty. And no rush at all to reply, truly. Just as I appreciate people letting me take the time to reply, I'll always give everyone else that time. I believe this is the last inbox reply I have left, though I have a post to reblog and reply to, since I was tagged and asked for my thoughts. After that, I'll openly admit it'll probably be another week or so before I get back to replying to dm's and inbox chatter, since I'll be focusing on getting post replies out and staying caught up and on schedule. Plus, there are some asks that I'm just so excited to write and, as mentioned, I'm beyond ecstatic to be giving myself some time, once I'm all caught up on the older stuff, to work on my passion projects!

I hope for that for you too! And honestly, with the speed you're catching up, and the speed with which I reply to things, there is that possibility that you'll have gotten your answers or my answers won't be spoilers at all haha. I look forward to reading them but again, please take your time. And I apologize again for asking you to take the time to write up something extra for me, but thank you so much for doing that. And I am also curious as to whether the manga will make you like Licht a little more or dislike him more. I feel he's a lot more fleshed out in the manga and you get to see more of him and Lawless interacting, which makes me really happy.

And honestly, I'm used to waiting that long. It's about a three to four week to get even a phone appointment with my general practitioner, so waiting that long for a more specialized doctor is generally expected around where I live, because health-care workers are in short supply in Canada overall but especially the general clump of provinces I live in. And certain eye doctors, if they have a shop attached to their office that sells glasses, will definitely fight with you about you needing your prescription because they really want you to buy your frames and lenses from them, as it's where they make the most of their money. An optometrist operates in tandem with the Vogue Optical here, but I refuse to go with them as they won't hand over my glasses prescription to me, they just send it to Vogue and make me buy the crazy expensive frames from there so I go with the one optometrist in this area whose office has no eyeglasses store associated with it. And I admit I have a second-hand, beat up, smaller television. It's less than 40" so reading subs on it is impossible unless I'm super close haha. But it still works and has great sound quality and a lot of ports so I won't give it up haha.

And yeah, Deadman Wonderland got really graphic in the fight scenes but there was a lot of hard and heavy stuff in characters backstories that would need to be censored or taken out for the series to be on television so honestly, I do think it's better as a manga and enjoy the manga quite a bit. And yes, Number One is fantastic! It's in my music library, but that's easily over 3-4,000 songs so I get to hear it once in a while, whenever it comes up on shuffle. And I will say, all of the classic Big 3, other than the horrific experience of the 4kids dub, all had really good dubs done for them! And thank you :)

[partialto]

For the 3 things meme:

11, 17, 35!

11. 3 books that you would recommend everyone to read: This feels like cheating but genuinely, there is no book that I would recommend to every single person! Some of the books I love the most or have impacted me the most are just not going to resonate for others. That said, 3 favorites that I would feel reasonably confident most of my mutuals would get something out of are: Plays Well With Others by Allan Gurganus (found family/home and the importance of art, set in New York at the beginning of the AIDS crisis); Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie (everyone who is interested in this has probably read it by now, but I can't leave it out!! Sci-fi, the quest of the last remaining sentient fragment of a destroyed starship to avenge herself, her captain and her crew while being caught up in a galactic power struggle - but really it's about personhood and justice and loyalty and love); The Solace of Leaving Early by Haven Kimmel (this one is hard to describe especially since it works best if you go in knowing nothing. The protagonist is an extremely unlikable literature PhD washout whom I love to the ends of the earth and the secondary protagonist is a small-town minister who is maybe my favorite character of all time and I guess it's about family and loss and what makes life worth living. I reread it a lot).

17. 3 tv couples you adore the most: I KNOW I'll wake up at 4am going "WAIT WHY DIDN'T I SAY--" but the first 3 to pop into my head were Ri Jeong Hyeok and Yoon Se-ri from Crash Landing On You (entirely @wendy-daahling's fault, I swear this show altered my brain chemistry forever); Clarke Griffin and Bellamy Blake from The 100 (technically not "a couple" but YES THEY ARE and they are so so special); and this is so basic of me but it's true, Nick Miller and Jessica Day from New Girl.

35. 3 vegetables that you like the taste of: Tomatoes, onions, and peas are solid bets regardless of how they're prepared.

3 things asks

[theglassdragoncollective]

4. Who has the weirdest music taste? - 12. Does anyone like any video games? What about books or TV shows?  - 36. Name your favorite quality of all the members you can think of! Including yourself! ;) - Sho

We're blurry, but if we had to say Idan, Chrellys, James, Telmar, and Mhedaeve are answering this (like to clarify potential bias).

4. Who has the weirdest music taste?

(Copy pasted from last ask for ease of access)

The music taste that gets the most flack in system is Ryan, who listens to way too much "exercise bro" music (that's how we describe it anyway), but the technically "weirdest" music would go to one of our top vocaloid connoisseurs, Chrellys. She listens to the horror stuff.

If you know, you know.

12. Does anyone like any video games? What about books or TV shows? 

Yeah! We're down for video games, though we've only played a small selection, as in mostly Legend of Zelda (favorite game is Twilight Princess). Our disabilities make it kind of hard to play most things, so we end up playing with our outerworld brother, but that just makes it a different kind of fun.

We also like books (we write so it kind of goes together), though it's been really hard to read stuff that's not in a special format with a lot of our more recent health issues.

And TV shows are a go as well! We have a bunch on our radar, though with our various flavors of neurodivergence it can be hard to say what we'll plow into next. Our favorite show of all time is collectively Leverage.

We can do this for all of the crew, but seeing as there are a good handful of us, we'll highlight the people around the front (we're doing it for each other) so they get focus

(Chrellys: Snooze you lose is our fronting policy)(James: Chrellys, that's YOUR fronting policy)(Chrellys: We would literally spend an hour of you agonizing this I didn't do SOMETHING)

In no particular order (credit of given quality tagged) -

Chrellys - straightforwardness (James: Chrellys always gets me to see things about myself I wouldn't otherwise)

James - ability to bring people together, non-judgmental (Chrellys: James is a big reason we run as smoothly as we do, even if he doesn't quite know that)

nct dream reaction to their idol!reader girlfriend being shipped with another idol

anon: nct dream reaction to their idol!reader girlfriend being shipped with some other idol :) love your works btw. and thank you for this in advance

pairing: nct dream x idol!reader

genre: headcanons, fluff, crack

warnings: mentions of insecurities

a/n: dhsjdj technically my requests are closed rn but I decided I would write this out so I hope you enjoy this!

mark lee

confused boi™

tbh he wouldn't even notice you were being shipped with another idol until another member points it out

you were a special guest mc for the show and fans saw the cute interactions you had with the boyz juyeon

and soon enough fans started shipping the both of you together

in reality, you and juyeon were just high school friends and you were glad to see him again

fans on the other hand,,

mark didn't realise you were being shipped with juyeon until doyoung pointed it one day

and mark was all like

( ・◇・)？"nani? y/n and juyeon???"

he would then search up ynjuyeon on twitter because cough yeah

and found a shit ton of edits of the both of y'all

and now he's sad :((

he's sad that because no one shipped y'all together

"isn't your relationship a secret???"

"yeah but still :((("

mark sweetie y'all have neve interacted on stage before fjdjdndnd

he knows you love him and would never cheat on him

but boy is he going to be a pouty baby when y'all hang out next time

literally all he's going to say is:

"why do they ship you and him together?? why not me :(("

"mark they've never seen us in the same room before"

huang renjun

unbothered king™

at least that's what he tells you fhdjdj

he found out through a vlive fhdhdjj

it was one of the usernames and the username was like ynxyanan_shipper

and renjun mf squinted his eyes like

did I read that clearly ಠ_ಠ

he's like yn and wHO

chenle was beside him when it happened and chenle was like what's wrong

and renjun points out the username

and chenle starts lauGHING BECAUSE HE FINDS IT SO FUNNY

renjun smacks him on the head to tell him to shut up DHHSHDD

obviously he would take a screenshot of the username and sends it to you

and he's like

short king <3: do you hv something to confess to me

you: ,,, my love for you??

short king <3: blocked

you: HAHSAHS IM KIDDING

tbh you find the situation honestly really funny

cause you and yanan aren't exactly friends? you're more of acquaintances than friends

and you made eye contact one (1) time with him by accident at an award show and suddenly you're being shipped with him

when you call him the next time to hang out, definitely expect him to be salty about it fjdjfjd

"hey are you free to come over today?"

"I don't know, why don't you ask your BOYFRIEND yanan"

"renjun istg i will break up with you-"

lee jeno

oh baby boy is gonna be so so confused

he's going to be even more confused because you're being shipped with itzy's chaeryeong fhfhfjf

see you and chaeryeong were featured in an episode of a reality tv show once

and the both of y'all immediately hit it off and your friendship was just adorable

so y'all kept interacting every time y'all see each other

and y'all are now nicknamed as the 4th gen gfs because y'all are so adorable???

like the chaeryn ship ur most popular ship ever

so jeno is so confused?? like why is his gf being shipped with her??

he's like a whole ass puppy okay

you, on the other hand, find the chaeryn ship really cute so you don't mind it and you jokingly call chaeryeong your gf once or twice on live before fjdjfn

whenever you tell him that you're hanging out with chaeryeong, he will pout at you and give you his best puppy eyes

like he will cling onto you and try to convince you to now to go

it works like 13% of the time and you would cancel plans with chaer but most of time it doesn't and you would end up being late jhdjsh

but it will slowly become into an inside joke between y'all

like yk that one meme

"this is yn my girlfriend and her girlfriend chaeryeong"

kjdhkjshfs yeah that

but in all seriousness, jeno is really unbothered about you being shipped with chaeryeong because it basically has the same energy as him being shipped with jaemin

whenever y'all are having play fights, you jokingly threaten to leave him for chaeryeong jdsfjds and he immediately stops and says that's unfair

pls shower him in hugs and kisses later

lee haechan

definitely makes a fuss about it

i mean he knows that you aren't going to leave him and all but is he going to be dramatic about it? yes, yes he is

he finds out by himself because he was probably on twitter stalking your hashtag

when he suddenly stumbles upon and edit of you and ateez's san

he's like O.O wot is tHis?

screenshots the edit and sends it to you

hyuckie: yNNNN

hyuckie: THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

hyuckie: BABY

hyuckie: SUGAR BUM

hyuckie: DAISY PIE

you: what in, the ever loving fuck, is daisy pie

hyuckie: *sends screenshot* ARE U CHEATING ON ME

you: hyuck that pic is clearly edited

hyuckie: I KNOW BUT ARE YOU????

you: i-

he makes so much jokes about it that you literally have to shut him up with a kiss

jokes on u reader he's doing this on purpose to get those free kisses

the jokes stop when you actually finally meet san during a game show and shippers are like omg they finally interacted

and the amount of ynxsan edits just,, grow

haechan acts even salty about it and whines about why fan don't ship y'all together when y'all have made eye contact during the golden disk awards bc he was being a lil shit hdsjhfjds

"hey what if i keep staring at you during the melon so we can get into a scandal?"

"hyuck this is supposed to be a secret relationship-"

"yeah but-"

jokes on u he actually does stare at you at the next award show and thankfully did not get into any scandals, but fans started to ship the both of you!

na jaemin

the true unbothered king

literally does not care that you are shipped with someone else

because he knows that he is yours and vice versa

and plus you love him a lot so

he finds out from chenle, who did it out of spite because one day chenle was bored and wanted to cause some chaos

boi basically ran up to jaemin to shove an edit of you and treasurer's junkyu together and went like

"look hyung! ur gf is being shipped with someone eLsE"

"oh that's weird"

"rigHT"

"I thought people shipped her with treasurer's hyunsuk"

chenle is like

HUH???

"aren't you like,, jeaolous??"

jaemin just shrugs and says "hmm, not really"

jaemin knows that you are good friends wth a lot of idols because you're a social butterfly

so he truly doesn't mind when you get shipped with other idols bc in the end , he's the one holding you in his arms

plus he knows the edits and shippers are mostly harmless

and he trusts you

so he just fucks around with chenle jkldsfj

chenle is still confused bc he wants to rile jaemin up for fun but failed hjdshf

zhong chenle

if you thought haechan was dramatic, then you better buckle up for chenle's

so you see

fans already shipped u and chenle

like

y'all already have a dating scandal

and both companies tried so hard to defuse it

see you are an mc for a music show and you were interviewing nct dream

chenle, being the lil shit he is, kept giving you the heart eyes the entire time

and 6 months later, y'all got caught by dispatch on a daTe

ofc both sides were panicking but chenle was enjoying bc he's like "yeah this is my s/o and what abt it"

but y'all still had a dating ban so sm was this close in kicking him hfdsjfh

fortunately, they were able to cover it up as someone else so there's that

so chenle is aware that fans shipped the both of you together

so when he sees you being shipped with stray kid's jeongin

he was like "HOW DARE THEY-"

calls you to complain about the ship for 3 hours

and that is how you found out as well-

literally you don't even know jeongin so you just let chenle complain about it

he goes on and on about why fans should continue to ship y'all together so when he reveals the relationship the fans will be surprised but also not really at the same time-

"should i get into another scandal with you?"

"chenle no-"

park jisung

oh baby boy is going to be very, very confused

i mean he knows that shipping is a thing between fans

he's just confused why ppl would ship you and p1harmony's keeho

like you have never interacted with him so why would fans ship the both of y'all??

the dreamies mostly tell him to not take it serious but the chenle and haechan would egg him on

"get into a dating scandal with them"

"guys no-"

he wouldn't tell you that it bothers him because he doesn't want you laughing at him, worrying over a small issue

so honestly, it lowkey eats him up on the inside

until one day, you basically force it out of him because he's been acting weird for the past week

he finally confesses about the what's bothering him

and you tell him that you wouldn't have laughed at him

you know shipping idols is a common thing in the industry and sometimes it's uncomfortable knowing it when you're already in a relationship

but you also tell him that it's basically harmless because fans can't really force the both of y'all together

jisung would be insecure about the relationship because it's kinda of his first? so he just doesn't want to mess it up

just reassure him a lot and tell him that you won't leave him

and as time goes by, he just gets used to the shipping

Happy birthday // Arthur Fleck x Reader

A/N: @crowinhell I hope I'm not late and it's still your birthday in your timezone. Happy birthday one more time! Let your special day be filled with love and happiness, darling! 🤡🎂✨

Summary: Today's the Reader's birthday and Arthur try his best to make this day very special for his one and only.

Wordscount:1306

- Wakey, wakey, my love - Arthur's lips brushed your cheek - I made a breakfast for you.

A lazy smile appeared on your face as you slowly opened your eyelids. Today was your birthday and you and Arthur took a day off to celebrate it together.

- Hey... - you smiled wider as you spread your arms to hug your boyfriend - I love it, when you are the first thing I see in the morning.

- Me too, but, uhm, technically it's not a morning anymore... - Arthur chuckled as he hugged you back.

- It is for me. You're such an early bird, Arthur, morning for you is like what, 5 am?

- 5:30 - he smirked playfully as he withdrew from you to show you what he'd prepared for a breakfast - I didn't know if you wanted to eat in a living room or here, so I brought it here.

You look at the breakfast table and smiled. There was everything you liked to eat in the morning.

- Mmmm, my favorite! Thank you, darling. I think I eat it here. Let's start the day with a slow pace.

- Alright, love, no rush - he said as he put the breakfast table on the bed - here, bon appetit.

- Thanks - you looked up at him and pointed at the food - wanna join me?

- You want to share? - he asked rising his eyebrow in question, though he already knew the answer.

You watched him as he quickly walked around the bed to his side and sat beside you with his knees to his chest. He fidgeted with the end of the sleeves of his white shirt.

- What is it? - you asked.

- Nothing - his hand ran through his hair as he smiled softly - I'm just excited about today. Today's your birthday and I prepared something for you.

- Really? - you looked at him with curiosity - What exactly?

- Oh, I can't tell you now. But it's nothing big - he shrugged - You'll see.

When you finished eating your breakfast, Arthur asked you not to peek into the living room yet, so you closed your eyes as he accompanied you to the bathroom door, so you wouldn't trip.

- Can I now? - you asked after a while as you entered the living room.

- Yes - Arthur said as he stood beside you, resting his hands on your shoulders.

- Wow, Arthur! - you said in awe as you looked around the room.

The smell of scent candles entered your nose before you opened your eyes, but they weren't the only thing Arthur had used to decorate the room. Colorful serpentines were hanging from the chandelier, table lamps, tv and well... anywhere they could be hanging. Balloons were all over the floor, not only the round ones, but you also spotted a small yellow dog made of Carnival's balloons sitting on a couch. And when you looked at the small table where Arthur used to sit to write in his journal, you saw two plates, a small gift box, and a Happy Birthday decor stuck in a small homemade cake.

- Wow - you said again as you turned around to look at him - This is all for me?

- Yes, of course, for my one and only - he smiled - do you like it?

- Do I like it? - you chuckled - I'm freaking loving it!

Arthur chuckled as he received a hug from you. He looked clearly proud of himself, a light blush appeared on his cheeks as you kissed him.

- How did you even... - you paused - when did you even? I mean, you had to wake up very early to organize all of this.

- Not very, 5:30 am as usual - he chuckled as he took your hand and spun you around slowly - I can't wait till I dance with you, darling.

- Let me guess... You also prepared all our favorite songs and albums to dance to?

He smirked and slowly nodded his head.

- I love it already. What else did you get for today? - you asked excited as you came closer to him and wrapped your arms around his waist.

- Mmm - he hummed and kissed your forehead - you'll see. Let' get to the table first.

You both sat down on your chairs and you glanced at the small box with a red bow around it.

- What is it?

- A gift from me to you - he giggled like a schoolboy as he watched you unboxing it.

Inside you found a small yellow gold necklace with two small hearts attached to each other.

- Art- - you gasped as your eyes filled with tears - t-this is beautiful. You really didn't have to... - you looked at him lost for words.

Arthur smiled, relieved that you liked it - It's your special day, you deserve all the beautiful things... But I could only buy you this small one.

- Ohh, Artie... - you stood up and came over to hug him - This is more than I ever expected. And it's not small, it's a big gift. Thank you. I love it so much and I love you.

- I- I love you too - he pulled you closer and shifted you, so you sit on his lap. You captured his lips and kissed him passionately.

You were kissing each other for a moment until you had to stop to get some air. You looked around the room one more time, appreciating his work.

Then a question appeared in your mind.

- Where did you get all that stuff? You robbed a gift store?

- Not exactly... - he chuckled at your joke - But let's say it was easy to leave that place unnoticed.

- Your work? - you blinked as you understood what he meant - I can't believe it - you laughed.

- Anything for you - he laughed too as he reach out to the table.

He took his lighter and lighted a small candle at the top of the cake.

- It's not too early to eat a birthday cake?

- I don't know - Arthur shrugged - We don't have to eat it now if you don't want to, but it's your birthday so all the rules are off today.

- I like that idea - you giggled and added - but please, don't sing me happy birthday. It's not that I don't like it when you sing, but it's just...

- Awkward? Yeah, I get it. No happy birthday song. Anything you wish, my lady - he said changing his accent to sound more sophisticated. He was in such a good mood. You didn't see him like that very often. His eyes were gleaming with joy, but as you guessed, your eyes were as well.

You spent some time sitting and enjoying each other's company. You ate a piece of cake, which wasn't so bad (Arthur tried his best) and he stood up only for a moment to turned on a music player.

- Wanna dance? - he asked after a long moment of gazing at you from across the table, with his hand on top of yours and your fingers intertwined.

You smiled as you felt yourself blushing. You nodded and he grabbed your hand leading you to a dancefloor. Your living room wasn't big, but you always managed to find a place where you could dance comfortable.

- How are you spending your time, love, hmm? - he asked with a low voice as you both were swinging slowly to the music.

- Absolutely wonderful - you answered as you leaned closer to him and rest your head onto his chest.

- Good - he whispered as he wrapped his arms around you and dipped his nose into your hair, closing his eyes. He loved how lovely you smelled.

The balloons around you were slightly moving as you both swayed to the rhythm in a comfortable silence. Your bodies were clung to each other and the soft warm flames from the candles were creating a very cozy and unique atmosphere around you. And the only witness of your happiness was a small yellow dog sitting on a couch.

[true-love77]

If there is anything that I've learned in all the years that I've been a shipper is that it's the couples that catch you off guard that are the best. The ones that you initially don't want to be together. The ones that don't even really start off as friends or on friendly terms. Because they are the ones that you get to see blossom into something so much more.

The slow burn romance isn't something that is done right a lot. Most of the popular couples on TV shows get together within the first 1 or 2 seasons and then where is it supposed to go? I would much rather watch a couple I have come to like have those moments that make you fall head over heels for them when you aren't expecting to.

Jay and Hailey have did that and so much more. I was a diehard Linstead fan. From the start I shipped Erin and Jay and didn't ever want to see them with anyone else. But I adored Hailey from the start. I loved her and Jay as partners. I loved that Hailey was so protective of him and was going to do anything she could to help him every chance she got. The angst they went through during season 5 was perfect. You really got to see their partnership evolve from the very start. Jay didn't always want her help but I loved that it was Hailey saying she needed Jay to take therapy seriously or she was going to find another partner that kind of woke him up. And he did it. He did it because he didn't want to lose his partner. It was the fact that they both weren't shy about getting in each other's face about things that kind made me sort of start to ship them in early season 6.

As the season went on and they made us got through the (in my opinion) God awful relationship of Hailey and Adam, we got more and more cute and important moments for Jay and Hailey. Even though she was technically in a relationship with someone else we got a lot of great scenes for her and Jay. She was really his sounding board when things got too tough for him to handle. But it was when Hailey admitted that if she was going to follow someone blind it would be him that I became I full fledged member of the UpStead ship.

From then on for me it seemed like they became the slowest burn in the history of television! 🤣 But that's how I always know it's going to be something special when it finally happens. And it was! The entire Tender Age episode was great all around. I loved everything about it. But their talk was just everything. And the way the slow burn finally came to an end and went full on flame was utterly perfect!

I know it will not be 100% smooth sailing for them from here on out. I know that there's gonna be drama and more drama but I know that if any couple in the OC universe can withstand it all it would be them. With everything that they have done to prove what they mean to each other leading up to this, there is just no doubt in my mind ❤❤❤

[emometalhead]

Love this! Thanks for the tag, Fiona!! @odearjohn

1. Who was your first favourite artist?

Technically my first favorite song was Since You Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson, so I'll go with Kelly! My obsession with Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy came at about the same time, so I'm going to count them both lol.

Who are your current favourite artists?

Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, Seether, Shinedown, Stone Temple Pilots, Guns N' Roses, Grandson. I could go on lol.

Are you into musicals? Which ones?/Why not?

Not at all. I wasn't raised on them. They don't interest me. The only musical I like is Grease, and even then I make fun of it relentlessly.

Are there songs you consider so special you only listen to them very rarely?

Used to be One More Light by Linkin Park, but now I'm not able to listen to it at all.

What's your preferred way of listening to music? (time of day, medium, situation)

I'm constantly listening to music. I prefer to have it blasting from speakers. When my family is home, I prefer headphones for certain music if I know they don't like it.

What would you say is the most niche music you listen to?

I don't even know lol. And One? Mars Argo? Tribal Ink?

What's your favourite music related movie/TV show that's not a musical?

I love Bohemian Rhapsody and The Runaways! Do those count? If not, then Scott Pilgrim lol!!

Albums or playlists?

Usually playlists, but it depends on my mood!

Favourite albums?

Everything by Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, Twenty Øne Piløts, My Chemical Romance, Imagine Dragons, and Vince Neil. Also Appetite For Destruction and Use Your Illusion (GN'R), Poison the Parish and Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum (Seether), Thank You (Stone Temple Pilots), OK I'm Sick (Badflower), The Black Album (Metallica), Rubber Soul and Help! (The Beatles), Come Clean (Puddle of Mudd), No Shame (Lily Allen), Wanted On Voyage (George Ezra), Mis-An-Thrope (Ded). Should I go on? 😂 Those are the ones I listen to all the way through most.

Is there an artist you're trying to get into?

Not currently.

Whose music do you find overhyped?

I don't want to say 😂. Okay I'll bite. Van Halen,

What's an underrated song?

Save My Soul - Seether

Lovely - Twenty Øne Piløts

All In The Suit That You Wear - Stone Temple Pilots

What's a thing a bunch of songs do that you love every time?

I love when songs fade out at the end. I love a good bridge. I love a little bit of talking in a song.

What song is better acoustic?

Literally no song ever. Some acoustic songs I do enjoy are: Simple Man by Shinedown, Wicked Game by Stone Sour, and Shots by Imagine Dragons. (I didn't mean for 2/3 of those to be covers lol.)

What's the worst song of all time?

Idk something by Justin Beiber probably. I'm probably repressing something.

Do you put individual songs on repeat? If so, for how long and how often?

Every single day. It depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll only listen to a song like 5 times, and other times I'll have one on repeat for 3 hours.

Do you make your own playlists? If so, what's your most entertaining playlist title?

I do! I prefer my own playlists to ones made by others. I don't think my titles are particularly entertaining, but the most interesting are probably:

W (D) <- that stands for Women (Derogatory) lol

Drugs are bad. You shouldn't do drugs. Mkay?

Songs I Can Rap AKA White People Rap

Headphones or earbuds?

Earbuds. Headphones feel too bulky. Also I used to wear headbands all the time, and headphones don't work well with them.

Do you always sing the lead vocal or do you harmonize sometimes? If you harmonize, do you ever invent your own harmony?

I tend to only sing the lead vocals. Sometimes I hum guitar solos lol.

A music confession.

I do not care where I am or who can hear me. If a song I like is playing, I will sing along. I was caught singing along to a Weezer song at work yesterday lol.

Movie Review | Nightmare Sisters (DeCoteau, 1988)

This review contains mild spoilers.

David DeCoteau's Nightmare Sisters opens with a pretty hideous racial caricature, where an actor playing a fortune teller does a terrible Indian accent. Now, this was made in the '80s, the same decade we got Long Duk Dong in Sixteen Candles and Takashi in Revenge of the Nerds, so this level of racism is nothing out of the ordinary. But in those cases, you could at least argue that the performers were putting enough effort into their performances to make there scenes at least watchable. The guy here is teeeeerrible and his scene goes on for sooooo long. Anyway, the scene features a widow asking about her probably dead husband, who when summoned has his dick bitten off by an evil spirit, who then kills the fortune teller, making it the hero of the movie, or at least this scene. Because this is a pretty low budget affair, most of this is thankfully implied.

Thankfully, the movie gets quite a bit better after this point, as we move to a group of extremely dorky sorority sisters who come into possession of the fortune teller's crystal ball. These sorority sisters are played by established scream queens Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer, who are specialists in these kinds of movies, and from whom I'd seen and enjoyed a few things. Quigley is one of the best parts of the great zombie movie Return of the Living Dead, which on top of being super entertaining and funny I've grown to find surprisingly moving with my last couple of viewings. (Great movies have a way of sneaking up on you like that.) Stevens is of course in the feminist slasher movie Slumber Party Massacre, which spells out the subtext of these movies by having the killer's weapon be an extremely phallic drill. And Bauer is in Cafe Flesh, which is not a horror movie but a porno, but likely a much more palatable one to normie viewers given its emphasis on mise-en-scene and elaborately choreographed stage performances over gynecology. I was happy to see all three present, is what I'm saying.

These girls, left with nothing to do over the weekend, decide to throw a party and invite the only guys they know, some real Robert Carradine Revenge of the Nerds motherfuckers who are about as dorky as they are and similarly at the bottom rung of their fraternity. Of course once the party starts, they foolishly mess around with the crystal ball and the girls get possessed by the same spirit. Now, the girls were extremely dorky previously and had appearances that lined up with that image, with Quigley's buckteeth, Stevens' dangerously pointy glasses and Bauer's fatsuit. They seemed like perfectly nice people and might have had lots of inner beauty for all we know, but that doesn't photograph as well nor does it appeal to the horndogs in the audience, so once they get possessed they get a lot conventionally hotter and spend the rest of the movie in varying states of undress. This movie probably has more nudity than any non-porno I've watched in quite some time. Hell, right after their transformation, the immediately smear peach pie over their breasts and then spend what seems to be ten minutes bathing together while the Anthony Edwardsish heroes watch through a peephole. Apparently there's a TV-edit that excises all the nudity. I haven't watched it and can only assume it's ten minutes long.

It's worth noting at this point that DeCoteau is gay and this plays like a really broad attempt at pandering to the predominantly straight target male audience for these kinds of movies. As parodic as the results may be, I must shamefully admit that he has us dead to rights. Of course, given the title, something must be off, and as the homophobic meathead fraternity brothers who show up to give the male leads a hard time find out in the least pleasant way possible, it turns out that the girls have turned into succubi. Emphasis on the "suck", as the song that plays over the opening credits suggests. Or perhaps a more accurate name would be "bite-ubi". Given that they, you know, kill their victims by biting their dicks. Their "wing wangs", as one of the girls says while possessed. I think another uses the phrase "python of love", but I neglected to write down the complete line of dialogue so I could be wrong. DeCoteau is not a cruel man, so he spares us the sight of this act, but he taps into very real male anxieties in this movie.

Of course, to wrap this all up, the Curtis Armstrong, Lamar Lattrellish heroes enlist the help of an exorcist whose role is extremely self aware but not unamusing, and the situation is resolved with some pretty lo-fi special effects. (Okay, I lied, the heroes are a lot more presentable than Armstrong. Also Lamar Lattrell is actually the character's name and not the actor's, the heroes are all pasty white dudes and the only person with a musical number is Quigley. I ran out of Revenge of the Nerds references, I'm sorry.) This is an extremely unambitious affair, having been shot in four days as a challenge to use up short ends left over from the production of Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama, but I had a good time. While I won't pretend that the shamelessly pandering nudity didn't have an effect on me, what really sells this movie is the presence of Quigley, Stevens and Bauer, who are extremely winning in playing their characters both pre- and post-possession. (I think the term "adorkable" applies to the former.) My technical knowledge is lacking here, but while I understand there were inconsistencies in the film stock used, I didn't find that to manifest in the film's (not particularly accomplished but also not unattractive) visual style. And the movie has a nice, laidback sense of humour, which (aside from the opening scene) sustains the good vibes over the brief runtime.

"In case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight!"

Peter watched you intently as you stared, wide eyes glued to each and every movement on the screen, even sniffling a bit when the credits began to roll. Really? The Truman Show was making you tear up?

"[Y/N], really?," he snickered lightly, wiping one of your cheeks and then showing you the wetness on his finger. He gave a teasing smile as he moved to take the DVD out. "I understood when you cried during the Titanic, but this is just The Truman Show."

"Don't judge me!," you scolded, cheeks quickly becoming red with embarrassment. "It was frickin' sad! The dude's been stuck in a tv show his whole life and he didn't even know it! That's freaky!"

"It's a Jim Carrey movie," Peter laughed. "How can you cry at a Jim Carrey movie?"

You rolled your eyes and turned away, trying to hide your growing grin. Who was Peter Parker to judge you on how you react to movies anyway? At least this was just a movie. Peter got flustered with everything in real life!

"-And a movie as crappy as this particular Jim Carrey movie too!," he smirked.

You turned around with a loud, overdramatic gasp. "What was that, Parker? Did you just call one of my favorite movies CRAPPY?!"

Peter turned from the DVD player with a small, innocent smile and nodded his head vigorously before sprinting away as he predicted that you would chase after him.

He was right.

"How dare you!," you yelled, quickly jumping into action. "Jim Carrey may be a bit of an overacter, but he's still AWESOME!!"

You were high on adrenaline, running after him with all you had, but it didn't take you long for you to realize that chasing Peter in his own house was a bad idea. It was his home. He knew it like the back of his hand. And you, however, did not.

You bumped into every other corner. The more you ran the more bruises you were probably getting. Until finally after hitting your hip on the kitchen counter, frustrated, you squeezed your eyes shut tight and yelled out, "YOU DON'T HEAR ME JUDGING YOUR CRAPPY STAR WARS MOVIES!!!"

You hadn't seen where he came from or how he got you, but in an instant, Peter was smack dab in your face. "What did you just say?"

Quickly coming to a stop, the corners of your mouth twitched upwards, knowing you'd just hit a nerve. "I said, you don't hear me judging your crappy star wars movies."

He stared, stunned, for a second. ".. you did not just say that," he whispered, more to himself than to you. He turned towards you. "You did not just call one of the best franchises in the universe crappy."

You turned away with a smirk before he gently grabbed you by your arm and whirled you back around. "[Y/N]. Star Wars is ICONIC!"

You rolled your eyes with a light giggle and turned to walk away before you were whirled around again. His eyes looked right into yours, his face holding an extremely serious expression, which of course was nothing but hilarious to you. "Dude, I'm NOT letting you leave this kitchen before you give me a valid reason why Star Wars is bad to you."

You sighed loudly. So he's holding you hostage now, is he? Well, two could play at that game. "Not until you tell me why The Truman Show was so bad," you shot back.

Unfortunately for you, Peter was ready with his reasons.

You stared, dumbfounded as he read them off. "Predictable. Took too long to get where it was trying to go. When it finally got there, it didn't give an actual satisfying ending! Did Sylvia find him after that or not?! And what point was the movie trying to make about the world anyway? That really wasn't clear. Also, I couldn't tell whether some parts were funny or them just trying too hard to be serious. Should I go on?"

"N-no no, you're good," you chirped, your voice cracking a bit. "Didn't know you were such a harsh critic, Pete."

"And your reasons?," Peter asked with a shit-eating grin. He knew you didn't have any.

You scrunched your eyebrows together and stared up to the ceiling. "Umm," you mumbled before you blurted out. "It just seems like classic NERD crap, honestly okay?!?!?!"

Peter dramatically threw his hand to his chest, as if he'd been stabbed. "Ah, you hurt me, babe. How could you?"

You rolled your eyes. "Can we just go back to watching movies, Pete?! My hip frickin' hurts." You shifted slightly while rubbing the your hip with your hand, trying to relieve the pain. Peter noticed and immediately the previous topic of conversation was dropped.

"A-are you okay?! C'mon, let's go sit down.."

You breathed a breath of relief. Thankfully, a dumbass situation stopped due to Peter's relentless helpfulness and need to be a gentleman.

-

An hour later and you were watching Mean Girls now, something both you and Peter could agree on, especially after he'd told you he'd never seen it before.

And how could he have never seen Mean Girls? It was ICONIC!

"Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen. It's NOT going to happen..."

"I don't like this Regina character," Peter mumbled as he reached for more popcorn.

"You wouldn't," you chuckled softly.

Peter Parker was a sap and an overall nice guy. Regina George was probably not a character that he would be caught fanboying over.

"I mean," he started again, squinting his eyes at the character on the screen. "Villain characters are supposed to be BADASS. She's just rude."

You threw your head back and laughed, ruffling his hair. "Only you would think that way, Pete."

"And this Cady character," he continued. "She can't honestly think she's doing all of this and is still a good person. How is she a proper protagonist?"

You rolled your eyes and smiled. You hadn't noticed until actually watching a few movies with Peter how much of a movie critic he was. And he took it seriously. "Okay, that's enough rotten tomatoes for one movie, Pete."

Peter shrugged, rolled his eyes, and laid back on the couch. "I'm just calling it like I see it."

He kept quiet after that, just giving grunts, hums, and muttering things at choice times.

When your favorite part came along, Regina getting hit by the bus, you bit your lip with a smile. "Oooh, wait for it," you said lightly slapping Peter's shoulder excitedly. "She's gonna get it."

"So don't act all innocent! You can take that fake apology and shove it right up your hairy-"

Just as the part you were waiting for came, Peter paused the tv.

Quickly, you turned to him, eyes wide. "What'd you do that for?!?! She was gonna get smashed!"

He turned towards you, narrowing his eyes slightly. "So you've never watched Star Wars before?"

You turned to face him. "What?"

"What you said earlier... You said that it seems like nerdy crap," he explained, piecing it all together. " Seems! Meaning that you don't know for a fact meaning that you haven't watched it!"

"Are we seriously still on that,?!" you teased, your smile widening. This whole thing was beyond frivolous to you.

"Well yeah, because it's one of the greatest series ever!"

"It's predictable!"

"It is known for one of the biggest reveals in cinematic HISTORY!"

"What, the 'I-am-your-father' scene? Yeah, totally predictable."

Peter's jaw completely dropped. "Wha- how?!"

"Y'know Vader in German means father, right?," you snickered. "His name is literally Darth father." You picked up a soda, shaking your head slightly. "But yeah, if you must know... I haven't seen Star Wars."

Peter stopped responding. He just stood up and stepped away silently.

"Are you seriously mad over this?," you yelled out, watching him with a frown. "It's just a movie..."

Was he brooding right now? Over something as dumb as Star Wars? Well, you certainly weren't gonna be the person to go after him.

You whipped your head back to the screen in front of you and unpaused the movie, waiting for your friend to come back to sit next to you. It was official, Peter Parker was a nerd bitch.

As the movie went on, eventually you'd forgotten that Peter was even gone.

"The limit does not exist!"

It sucked that he left, but still though, you wouldn't rather be anywhere else. Surrounded by popcorn, pretzels, fruit, fruit roll ups, and practically any snack you could think of. Endlessly watching movies on a Saturday morning. Well, technically it was the afternoon now. But you'd lost track of time by about the sixth movie.

However, there was only so much movies could do for you. As time passed on, it started to weigh on you. You'd come there to see Peter, not Mean Girls. But if there was one thing to get on a nerd's nerves, it would be Star Wars wouldn't it?

Ugghhhhh.

After much anticipation, you finally decided to go up to his room and talk to him.

You turned to walk up the stairs and was immediately collided with a big wall.

Well not a wall, Peter.

And not just Peter. Peter with a gigantic box in his arms.

"Sorry it took me so long, didn't mean to leave you waiting. I was just just trying to find this," he said, tapping the cardboard box with his fingers. "So did you finish the movie?"

"Yeah," you said, looking at the box. "What's in it?"

"Guess I'll finish it myself later then..." He pushed past you and sat the box on the couch.

"What's in the box, Peter?," you repeated, trying to get a good look at it.

"Oh nothing," he said dramatically, taking the Mean Girls DVD out of the DVD player. "Just what will soon be the best 25 hours of your life.."

"25 hours?"

Peter smiled. "That's how long the entire Star Wars trilogy is." He picked up the box cutter. "24 hours and 52 mintues actually, if you're doing the original editions of the original trilogy instead of the special edition." He turned back towards you. "You need a movie-cation and I'm gonna give it to you."

"A movie-cation?"

"Movie education, [Y/N]."

You held your head back and laughed. "Oh my God, Pete.."

He was on his knees in front of you in a second. "C'mon!! Please, it's the best. I promise you won't regret it!"

Ugh. This was it. You were gonna do this. Force yourself through 25 (24: 52, but who's counting?) hours of boredom just to please some guy that wasn't even your boyfriend. I mean, he was practically begging you. God help you.

"Fine! Fine.. I'll watch your lame nerd movie."

The Disturbing Dark Truth about Cat Noir.

Cat Noir is the loveable dorky flirtatious jokester from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir who loves to flirt with Ladybug and making her laugh by using jokes and puns but is he really a jokester or is he using jokes and puns as a coping mechanism to escape the abuse , neglect , cruel and harsh world he's born in? But whatever it is it's obvious that everything in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir is nothing but a figment of Cat Noir's imagination and is actually an abused mentally unstable boy with special needs who sees the world differently than others due to having a childish-like personality and sorta kinda behavior.

Family Life Income.

Born to a prostitute with an unknown father, Cat Noir comes from a lesser fortune poor family who are struggling to make ends meet and making money. He's an complete opposite Adrien Agreste who lives a life of luxury and wealth while Cat Noir lives a life of slums and poverty but growing up in a ghetto-like town side of Paris wasn't easy it's full nothing but violence , rape , robbery , burglary , aggravated assault , total violent crimes , motor vehicle theft , total property crimes , battery , prostitution , street gang , kidnapping , sex trafficking , child trafficking , street gang violence , bribery , fraud , racketeering , drug trafficking and vandalism but it's sad to see Cat Noir grew up in a horrible neighborhood side of Paris where this "village" is one of the worse shanty town neighborhoods that evolved ghetto crimes which it gave Cat Noir paranoid trauma for life.

Clothing , home life and house.

Clothing.

Since Cat Noir grew up in the slums of Paris, his mother barely could afford clothes so she made his clothing from a left over fabric from a trash can and gave him her old clothes which surprisingly it fits him. So technically he shares clothes with his mother but it's sometimes he wears his dad's old clothes. His mother is a seamstress so it makes sense she made Cat Noir's clothes.

Home life.

Cat Noir comes from an abusive household where it's just him and his younger half brother, Connor get punished by their mother because they're both born male and look like their fathers but it's just their mother but sometimes their stepfather would beat them because he dislike their fathers and both Cat Noir and Connor look like their dads thus their stepfather abused them physically.

House.

Cat Noir lives in a small shack house that is a mixture between a cabin and a cottage that is located in a Western Shanty town, one of the worst ghetto neighborhood in Paris , France. In the Western Shanty town, they have cheaper old wireless TVs from either the 90s or 70s and have old TV show programs from 1920s-late 1990s but for cartoons from 1910s-late 1990s as well. Cat Noir and his family slept on an old abandoned dirty mattresses that are so uncomfortable to lay on and often the children (mainly Cat Noir) gets bed bug bites at night. Cat Noir and his family sat on old abandoned couch but mainly his mother get stoned and drunk on that couch.

Forced child labor.

From age 9-12, Cat Noir was forced to be a sex slave stripper against his will but he was taken out of school by forcedly "dropping out" during the 4th grade and ever since then the principle of Françoise Dupont Elementary School was and still wondering why Cat Noir wasn't at school like he's suppose to be. Then he was sold to Copycat, a pedophile neighbor who has sexual fantasies of Cat Noir and sexually abusing him but Copycat a lot of horrible things and stuff to Cat Noir

Molesting Cat Noir.

Raping Cat Noir.

Giving Cat Noir bruises , scars , chafing or bite marks and bleeding in/on his genital area.

Masturbating Cat Noir's teeny weeny peeny.

Smacking Cat Noir's bottom in sexual way.

Forcing Cat Noir to dress up as a french maid for sexual purposes.

Forcing Cat Noir to be in bed with him.

Removing Cat Noir's clothes so he can just have "fun" with him.

Turning Cat Noir from a sex slave to a house slave.

Raping Cat Noir in his sleep causing his insomnia to be worsen up badly.

Touching Cat Noir inappropriately from his whole body to his teeny weeny peeny.

Using sexual punishments on Cat Noir.

Using erotic spanking on Cat Noir's bottom for sexual purposes.

And Smacking Cat Noir's bottom as a form of sexual harassment.

Due to this harassment it causes Cat Noir to be extremely afraid of adult men because of the fear that they could sexually abused and harassed him even tho they're not gonna do it but Cat Noir was and is traumatized by this experiences it made him think they would do it without excepting it but he didn't want to be around grown men and not even his male aids he can't trust but everytime a grown men sit next to Cat Noir, he would cry because he amused they would molest him.

"Operation saving Cat Noir from a child molester"

In October of 2013, 12-year-old Marinette Dupain-Cheng was looking for the 10th and last child to be sold to a pedophile but it was no luck, until a random guy shows up to Marinette and tell her where that kid is but once she found him passed out on the floor, it turns out he's the boy that Ladybug was talking about and he was wearing a black tank crop top-like shirt and a blacker granny panties-like undergarments although he was underweight and severely malnourished. After Marinette notice the poor living conditions Cat Noir was in, she decide to take Cat Noir to the hospital immediately to get medical attention, once she and Cat Noir got to the hospital everyone knew Cat Noir was one of 10 children who were sold to pedophiles by their parents for money and were sexually abused. When Cat Noir woke up in a hospital bed, he sees Marinette and went speechless because he didn't know how to interact with people very well and Cat Noir mistaken Marinette for Ladybug because she and Ladybug looked like and because Cat Noir is insane-like crazy, he's unable to know the difference so it went like this

Cat Noir after he woke up: *seeing Marinette* Ladybug?

Marinette: no i'm not Ladybug🤔.

Cat Noir: *confused* then who are you?

Marinette: my name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, what's your name?

Cat Noir: *realizing* wait Marinette as in Marinette Dupain-Cheng, daughter of the best baker in Paris?

Marinette: yes

Cat Noir: nice to meet you Marinette🙂😄😊.

Marinette: same here😁.

Cat Noir: well then i'm Cat Noir Athanase Blake-Kyle.

Marinette: *realizing* wait your Cat Noir? As in Cat Noir Athanase Blake-Kyle, son of a seamstress prostitute?

Cat Noir: *sigh* yes I'm the son of a hooker who steals your man for no reason😓.

Marinette: so what's with the outfit you were wearing?

Cat Noir: I work as a stripper and a sex slave😣😖😟😫.

Marinette: why?

Cat Noir: to help my mom make ends meet.

Marinette: I get it but why as a stripper or sex slave?

Cat Noir: I had no choice but to be a sex slave stripper and because my mom wanted me to work in the sex industry due to me having a material of being someone's object or toy.

Marinette: so what you're basically someone's property or something?

Cat Noir: yes i'm nothing but everyone's "favorite" little toy to "play" and have "fun" with.

Marinette: were you uncomfortable with it?

Cat Noir: honestly yes because I don't wanna hook up with someone I don't know for money.

Marinette: so you were forced to do this against your will?

Cat Noir: yes exactly that's what it is.

Cat Noir: *bursting into tears* then 3 years ago, I was 9 years old when my mom sold me to an artist for money😭.

Marinette: wait how old are you now?

Cat Noir: *stops crying and sniff* I just turn 12 not so long ago.

Marinette: i'm 12 too.

Cat Noir: wait so we're the same age then?

Marinette: yeah

Cat Noir: What a coincidence.

Marinette: We're born in the same year but just 2 months apart.

Cat Noir: What do you mean by "we're born in the same year but just 2 months apart"?

Cat Noir: When is your birthday?

Marinette: My birthday is on July 22, 2001 and yours?

Cat Noir: interesting my is on September 25, 2001.

Cat Noir: *realizing* you're right we're born 2 months apart.

Marinette: that's right

Cat Noir: What does it mean?

Marinette: it means i'm 2 months older than you and you're 2 months younger than me.

Cat Noir: make sense

Cat Noir: But I was born 2 months premature.

Marinette: What do you mean "2 months premature"?

Cat Noir: I was originally suppose to be born on November 25, 2001 but I came out 2 months premature.

Marinette: Oh so you're a preemie?

Cat Noir: yes

Cat Noir: *arms and legs starting to shake uncontrollably*

Marinette: are you okay?

Cat Noir: *arms and legs still shaking uncontrollably* yeah why?

Marinette: because why are your arms and legs shaking-like crazy?

Cat Noir: *arms and legs still shaking uncontrollably-like crazy hard* sorry I have tremors.

Marinette: Tremors?

Cat Noir: Yeah I still have tremors since birth but sometimes i'll get seizures.

Marinette: Oh that it explains while we were on our way to the hospital, your whole body and head was shaking for 3 minutes.

Marinette: *realizes while reading facts on the article called "Crack babies" on the internet* are you a crack baby or something?

Cat Noir: Crack baby?

Marinette: Yeah are you?

Cat Noir: What's a crack baby?

Marinette: A crack baby is a baby born to a crack addict mother who used crack cocaine during pregnancy.

Marinette but you're a 12-year-old boy who still have seizures and tremors.

Marinette: so I guess you're a crack kid.

Cat Noir: What's a crack kid?

Marinette: A crack kid is when a mother who smokes crack while having a kid, when the kid is born it will be a crack baby/retarded or have problems.

Marinette: So that's what you are, a crack kid because your mother smoke crack cocaine while she was carrying you in the womb.

Cat Noir: it's not the only thing have because of my mommy's neglection action.

Marinette: What do you mean?

Cat Noir: mommy is not just a drug addict but she's also an alcoholic and smoker too.

Marinette: I look at a picture of your brain and I realize your brain is small , malformed , severely damaged and is permanent damage in your brain.

Then after that Marinette took care of Cat Noir in the hospital by being a mother figure towards him with her maternal instincts because it is something Cat Noir's mother never done before since she always ignoring him and Cat Noir needed a good parental figures and guidance in his life due to having bad parents, he doesn't know better but then again Marinette knew Cat Noir has a hard time understanding other people and everything around him in general.

Cat Noir is an autistic individual who can't understand everyone's social cues very well due to lack of interaction he barely had. Cat Noir was diagnosed with Low-functioning Autism , Asperger's Syndrome and Severe Autism or Level 3 Autism since he was 5 weeks old and due to his diagnosis, he has troubles of looking people in the eye , having interacting with others , living up to everyone's expectations of him what he should or shouldn't do including Ladybug's expectation of him how he should or shouldn't act when he's in public or when it comes to Ladybug forcing him , understanding boundaries or personal space , asking people what he wants or permission or where he wants to go , understanding sarcasm , when other people's jokes or when they're joking or when others don't understand his jokes.

Is Ladybug really convinctive , manipulative and abusive towards Cat Noir?

Ladybug and Cat Noir have been friends since 3rd grade but as they got older it was Ladybug who outgrown Cat Noir because she's more mature than Cat Noir due to him being immature , childish and baby-like but one of her other friends told Ladybug she's better off with someone who's more mature not someone who's baby-like person who can't handle "big kids" stuff and she frequently prefers hanging out with mature guys than Cat Noir so she decide to avoid Cat Noir at all cost and she forced him to grow up to act his age so their so called "friendship" isn't ruined in fact she verbally abused him for not maturing and acting his age in which Ladybug would yell at him and insulting his baby-like personality. Ladybug convinced Cat Noir his imaginations are real and she does it so often that the more she convinces him, the more Cat Noir believes it but then it got to the point where Cat Noir thinks everything he believes in his imaginations are a reality. Through every episodes of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, Ladybug gets easily annoyed with Cat Noir's childish-babyish personality even tho he acts like a child or baby at times, he can't help it and be he's pressured to be "normal" , "average" and "perfect" that it's starting to stressed him out. In the New York special, Ladybug is excited to go to New York City with her classmates for French-American Friendship Week but she realizes she needs to tell Cat Noir about her absence and she gave cat plush toy with a ladybug-printed remote bottom on it but Cat Noir presses the remote button several times in excitement, making the toy in Ladybug's hand squeak and he presses the remote button again which it made Ladybug groan in annoyance. But when Cat Noir was in New York City, Ladybug was angry at him because he's suppose to be in Paris and is too insane-like crazy to come due to the risk of being put into a mental asylum or hospital.

Altho this is a big theory, it's obvious Cat Noir has a problem and why it seems unreal so I hope like it.

Jackie Jett - For @thesimsters-stories​‘s Love Island

“Well damn! I’m Jackie, and I can control the weather!”

Name: Jackie Jett

Age: 26

Location: Del Sol Valley

Occupation: Weather Reporter

Traits: Non-Committal, Ambitious, Outgoing

Aspiration: World-Famous Celebrity

Skills:

Charisma: 8

Wisdom: 6

Dancing: 4

Acting: 4

Bio: 

Introducing Jacqueline “Jackie” Jett, the semi-famous Weather Reporter on the Del Sol Valley Network, Channel 7. With hair about as big as her ego, Jackie is known for being loud, proud, and... another word that ends in -oud. Give us a bit to think of one, and we’ll get back to you. 

Jackie grew up in the suburbs of Del Sol Valley, with her parents and two older brothers. She excelled in school, graduating Valedictorian of her class and getting accepted into Foxbury Institute’s Specialized Biology program. It’s safe to say that years of success definitely boosted her opinion of herself, which was struck down a few notches when the job market tightened up as soon as she graduated. Jobs in her field were hard to come by, and Jackie was feeling down on her luck. One day while shopping with her bffs, she was approached by a man who she assumed to be a model scout. It turned out to be Victor Price, one of the producers at DSVN, who offered her a spot as their new weather reporter. With the show’s viewer count draining as online news becomes the new craze, Jackie’s appearance is possibly the only thing holding the studio together at this point, and she knows it.

While Jackie does have some brains on her, her most admirable trait are her wits. She’s real cunning, and knows how to play the game to come out on top. Unlike some of the other applicants, long-term romance isn’t really Jackie’s thing. She’s much more inclined to one night stands and hookups, and anyone who lasts longer gets their number deleted from her phone. Jackie claims to love this lifestyle, much to her cuffed friend’s dismay. While they think she’s crazy for not wanting to get boo’d up, she thinks the idea of being tied down is absolutely sickening. So why would she apply for a show like Love Island, where the only goal is to find true (or true in terms of reality television) love? (Reason number 1 will shock you!)

Questions:

Briefly describe yourself and your life.

“If you insist, LOL! Alright, my name’s Jackie Jett and I’m 26 years old. If I look familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen me on DSVN, during the 8am time slot, 9 on weekends. Shameless plug, I’m the hottest weather girl in the hottest city in the west! Sure, the job’s a bore at times and I really only got hired for my looks and not my now-useless biology degree, but it pays well and I get a lot of time off to do the things I actually enjoy! I’m not actually as dumb as I come off to our viewers. I’m college educated! Although, it doesn’t really matter much at the moment, so I figured why not have fun where I am now? Also yes, I’m a natural redhead. Anyone that tells you different is a disgusting liar.”

Any Hobbies?

“My hobbies pretty much only consist of me going out and getting drunk. But it’s not that bad! I’ve always been a party girl, since high school even. There’s nothing more fun than going to a nightclub and letting your inhibitions run wild for a few hours! And if I can witness some celeb drama happen live before I hear about it at the studio the next morning, that's always a plus.”

How long have you been single?

“Well, that depends on what you define a relationship as, doesn't it? If you’re talking about any kind of romance, than I’m technically never single. I’m just never with the same person! If you define it as a romantic, long term relationship, then not since freshman year of college. And I’d like to keep it that way, thank you very much. I love to have my options open.”

Why did your last relationship end?

“Again, if we’re talking longer term, he wanted to get more serious and I realized that it just wasn’t what I was looking for. I was 19 and I still wanted to experience so much before getting cuffed. He really didn't take it well, so kinda safe to say I dodged a bullet on that one.”

What are you looking for in a relationship?

“If I had to be in one? I would want the other person to know and respect that I’m not going to be tied down for the rest of time. The whole “open relationship” thing is a standard I like to set with my long term hookups, and I would like that to apply here as well. Also, they should be hot. I’ve been with every type of guy you can think of, but I’ve got standards. I like em sexy, who can blame me? I promise, if I get on the show I’ll try to restrain myself. Keyword try. Also generally don't be a dick. Just because I’ve been with a lot of men doesn't mean I’m less deserving of respect. Any guy that thinks differently goes out the door, sorry not sorry. Oh, did you know that I have Demi Lovato’s phone number? We’re, like, basically besties.”

What are you not looking for in a relationship?

“By this point in the interview I think it’s pretty obvious the one thing I’m super not looking for, LOL! But other than that, I’m open to a lot! Just depends on who’s asking.” *winks* “I’m really not territorial, but if any of the women try to shame me for my lifestyle, I’m not afraid to get my claws out. Women are supposed to support women, I’m not tolerating any bullshit.”

Something else we should know about you?

“Okay, I guess this is where I come clean. Well, to the producers at least. So, basically, for the last few months, our shows ratings and viewership have been dropping. Our analytics team looked into it, and we’re pretty sure it’s because of that Simstagram News update. Instead of watching the actual news, people are going there because it’s quicker and easier to get info. So one day, Victor comes up to me and is all like “I’ve got an idea and I need your help”, which is already fishy because that’s basically code for “I need to use your looks to get the show traction”. So I go into his office and he brings up the Love Island Application. And, like, at first I’m hesitant because I work in showbiz, right? I know how reality tv stars get perceived by the public. But then I realized that if the studio tanks, I’ll no longer have a job, which like, major bummer. So I say yes!

In the end, I’m here to stir up drama and look cute on camera, all as bait for people to come and watch live news. Of course, I get the added benefit of a longer segment on the show, and a boost in Simstagram followers! So it’s really a win-win! Honestly, I probably would have applied anyway, if I had seen the casting call before Victor showed it to me. A bunch of hot guys, hookups, and more drama than a Kardashian-Jenner Simstagram comment section? That’s basically my dream life! And hey, who knows? Maybe I’ll finally get a tan!”

Some fun facts:

Please, make more That 70′s Show references when you meet her. She’s never heard them before. You’re so original, oh my gosh.

She’s allergic to shrimp. Makes for a downer at fancy parties.

She doesn’t tan, just burns. Curse her Irish heritage.

She played volleyball in college. She was pretty good at it, but almost broke her nose, which cause her to quit out of fear of getting a nose job.

She’s definitely a B list celebrity. No, don’t look it up. The internet is full of misinformation. You can’t trust anything.

She watched Mr.Robot and now has tape over her webcam. Sincerest apologies to her FBI agent. He/She’s missing a lot.

She’s a secret drama nerd. She can’t sing for the life of her, but she did the occasional play when she was younger.

Although her brothers know she can make her own decisions, they’re still super protective. They’re like 6ft+ guard dogs that Jackie sicks on any man that harms her.

She's got a tattoo of a ladybug. She won't tell you where, you’ll just have to find out for yourself ;)

Despite her complaining, her and Victor are pretty close. They have that sibling type bond. Only if one sibling was able to fire the other.
