midnights tracklist and the hero's journey

From REDDIT Gaylor sub

With edits to new track names

I should start off by saying I'm a massive nerd and an English teacher, so my entire life is just looking for symbolism and archetypes in literally everything.  It's one of my favorite topics, as well as being something I teach each year, so 'Anti-Hero' jumped out at me as a track title, and I haven't been able to shake it.  I don't really ever post on Reddit (so I'm NERVOUS ABOUT THIS, Y'ALL!), and I have no idea where I'm going with this, but I just need to put it into the world and see if anyone can draw any conclusions here.

Many apologies for not knowing how to format on Reddit (I only use it on mobile) and for the length!

I think it would be genuinely weird if Taylor Swift was unfamiliar with Joseph Campbell and his literary theories and works.  Campbell was a literature professor and writer with a focus on comparative mythology and folklore who is best known for his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" (it's a badass book).  His works focus on the idea of a 'monomyth,' tracing stories across cultures and finding that the stories of heroes follow the same basic pattern (he owes a great deal of credit to Carl Jung and his works on archetypes).  Once you become exposed to archetypes and the patterns of archetypes in literature/movies, it can be difficult to not see those patterns everywhere.  I once had a student tell me (jokingly, thank goodness) that I had ruined movies for them because they couldn't stop seeing archetypes everywhere and questioning every choice the director made (why is that character wearing red?  Rain's falling now?  Must be rebirth! etc etc). 

But back to my main thoughts! The traditional structure that Campbell wrote about is 17 stages; this has been adapted over the years (two other theorists each narrowed it down to 8 stages), but the version that I'm going to discuss is a more modern take on the original Monomyth theory, Christopher Vogler's 12 stages.  This is the version I use with my students, and while the Campbell one is more thorough and detailed (and, honestly, more interesting), Vogler's stages are more widely known.   The stages are often discussed as hours on a clock - there's a great TED-Ed video that details this.  I don't know how to link things on reddit without pasting in the whole URL, so I'll add a comment with the link if anyone is interested.

Vogler wrote about these stages in a book called The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers  (1992) which started as a very short piece meant to be a practical guide to The Hero with A Thousand Faces for screenwriters.  The cover of Vogler's book is a green labyrinth,  which could be related to the jade green vinyl cover photo, where is there is an album sleeve in the corner with a labyrinth as its cover. It's important to note that 'hero' is just another archetype, and can be ANY type of hero (including tragic hero, Byronic hero, or an anti-hero). The Hunger Games follows this pattern, as well, for those drawing connections to HG.

The stages of the journey are as follows (broken down into 3 acts):

Act 1 - The Departure:

1. The Ordinary World: the hero is seen in their everyday life.  This is where the hero is living an oblivious life, not realizing his true destiny and the adventure ahead. This is a safe place for the hero.

2. The Call to Adventure: the initiating incident of the story.  This is the part when the hero is called to the adventure. This could look like a threat to the hero or her loved ones, an impending disaster that the hero learns about, or an incident that transforms the hero’s ordinary life with a sudden jolt.

3. Refusal of the Call: the hero experiences some hesitation to answer the call.  Every hero has fears and doubts that hold them back, at least for a while. This is the part where the hero has doubts about her abilities and do not think they are the person to take on the quest or adventure.

4. Meeting with the Mentor: the hero gains the supplies, knowledge, and confidence needed to commence the adventure.  Often there is someone older and wiser who helps the hero.  Meeting the mentor helps the hero realize her dreams, and they might receive an object of great importance, some advice, training, or motivation to take on the quest or adventure.

5. Crossing the First Threshold: the hero commits wholeheartedly to the adventure and is ready to begin the journey.

Act 2 - The Initiation

6. Tests, Allies, and Enemies: the hero explores the special world, faces trial, and makes friends and enemies.  This is the part where the hero is confronted with challenges by her enemies. The hero must decide who to trust in the wake of great obstacles and threats, testing her abilities to the bitter end.

7. Approach to the Innermost Cave: the hero nears the center of the story and the special world.  This represents a danger, confrontation with a foe, or an actual place where the hero must enter to face the true challenge. It is the call for the final battle. While entering the cave, the hero might once again face her fears and doubts.

8. The Ordeal: the hero faces the greatest challenge yet - this is when the final battle occurs, and is the moment of truth when the hero will be reborn through some ‘death,’ even if it is metaphorical, facing all her fears, to achieve an incredible feat.  This is not the LAST test, but it is the BIG ONE.  BOSS LEVEL.

9. Reward: This is when the hero achieves some success, but also experiences the consequences of surviving death (again, literal OR metaphorical death).  Often this goal, once met, is inadequate and leave the hero feeling somewhat unfulfilled.

Act 3 - The Return

10. The Road Back: the hero begins the journey to the ordinary world, but often it creates a false sense of peace, safety, and finality. Because the hero has seemingly gotten what they wanted all along, there is a sense of completeness, but not a deep satisfaction. This is the fake ending, where it seems over, but it's not.

11. The Resurrection: Often the hero has one last BIG moment (not always a test, ordeal, or trial but it can be) and experiences a final and ultimate encounter or moment with death. In almost every case, the hero is able to survive the encounter through their strength, courage, wit, nobility, heroism, or teamwork - the skills and companions they gained along the way.

12. Return with the Elixir: the hero returns with something to improve the ordinary world

Now I know Midnights has 13 tracks, not 12, but step 13 (in my own interpretation) is learning to live and exist in the hero's ordinary world after completing this journey. The hero returns CHANGED in some way, and must relearn how to exist in this ordinary world again.  In Campbell's stages, he calls it "The Master of Both Worlds" - Mastermind?  I think the track titles follow the steps of the Hero's Journey, not in a chronological fashion, but thematically, and end with the balancing of the public vs the private Taylor.  I'm not sure if this is the coming out album, but I do think it'll be HELLA queer regardless, but the duality could just be 'Fame Taylor' and 'Real Taylor' like the Daylight to the Midnight, or it could be the 'Queer Taylor' and 'Het Taylor' moment that we all want.

But if it IS the coming out moment, and track 13 is her Master of Both Worlds moment, then the tracks so far would look like this:

1. Lavander Haze - status quo, public persona life, the safety she finds maybe in bearding, and others maybe find on a lavander marriage, to protect herself and her loved ones in case she is queer is a LGBTQphobic industry AND also another interpretation the simple and lavander (queer) love in hers private life and safe in living a queer life away from the public life with stalkers and fascists people.

2. Maroon - the call to adventure.  If this is the verb form, as many are speculating, that initial realization of queerness and the loneliness that sometimes comes with that.

3. Anti-Hero - the refusal of the call.  The denial of her queerness.  She's NOT the hero that the community needs, and she didn't follow through on the coming out opportunity

4. Snow on the Beach: all the fellings attached to being queer, artists, big star, and feat Lana Del Ray, another artist who received criticism and have queer themes in her discography. She could be the Mentor - the hero gains the supplies, knowledge, and confidence needed to commence the adventure - other people in the industry helping her along, like all musicians friends and designers, photographers, journalist etc...

5. You are on your own, kid - the leaving of the mentor and embarking in a new age of trying to live her queer life maybe mainly in NY, on the 1989 era, and accepting this double life she was trying to live but also the isolation of not having a artist blueprint in how to be queer and this big of a pop star...

6. Midnight Rain - tests, allies, and enemies.  There's WAY TOO MUCH that could fit here, so I'm not even going to speculate.

7. Question...? - approaching the innermost cave.  If the question is "... are you ready for it?" (or "would you run away with me?" or even "can you see right through me?") and it's a QUEER question, this is a moment where she was preparing to jump into battle and needs to know if she'll have those people (or person) on the other side.

8. Vigilante Shit - the ordeal.  The initial 'death' of the hero - I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone.  Why?  Because she's busy doing VIGILANTE SHIT.

9. Bejeweled - the reward.  Depending on how the title is interpreted, this is the reward and success she thought she wanted, but it's not what it's all cracked up to be.  All the Grammys in the world won't make up for not getting to live her authentic life.

10. Labirinthy - the road block, she achieves sucesso but is trying to do this cat and mouse game where she can't talk about her experiences and maybe gets lost in that, needing to access the weight of the double life on her art

11. KARMA - resurrection

Track 12 - sweet nothing - return with the Elixir

13. Mastermind - the master of both worlds, playing both sides of her public and private personas.

Sorry this ended up being so long and poorly formatted (I'm old at not great at Reddit), but I wanted to put this out there so the smart Gaylors can work their magic and either poke enough holes in it that I stop obsessing over it OR find things that put the pieces together, which is where I'm falling short.  I may have mentioned it to some of my Swiftie/Gaylor students today who thought it had possibilities so here I am!

ETA: the description of the stages are directly cobbled together from various resources - let me know if you want the links!

Edit #2: I accidentally stayed up late enough to see the newest track title, and... fucking KARMA as track 11???? The RESURRECTION?!? I have to be up in less than five hours to go teach teenagers but I have so many thoughts and they need to wait. Just wanted to add THE RESURRECTION STAGE IS KARMA. Feels appropriate.

In red are my additions after tonight's Midnights Mayhem Marathon!

Who is Rayla talking to?

We’ve all been blessed with the first peeks at season 5 of the dragon prince, which included this above pic right here.

Now what do we see?

Raylas kneeling in front of something or someone and smirking (with Stella matching her cuddle mamas look).

Zym is giving this something or someone the stink-eye.

Callum is looking at Ezran with a look that is doubtful at best, and Ezran is matching that look with even more doubtfulness.

And Soren doesn’t seem to have much of a reaction to whatever is happening here.

What does this tell us?

What this shows us is that whatever or WHOever Rayla is talking to is

Distrusted by Callum, enough so that Ezran distrusts them as well

Disliked by Zym, enough so that he’s giving this person the stinky eye instead of looking elsewhere

Unknown to Soren, which is why he’s looking to Callum and Ezran for a reaction

Someone Rayla would enjoy giving some sass to

Who do we know that matches all of these criteria? It’s someone that at least Rayla, Callum and Zym have met before, so likely a character from season two or three.

Another clue to who it might be is to see where they are

It’s cloudy, that’s for sure.

In the background, right in between Callum and Ezrans heads, you can see some wooden construct with a rope on it.

Now, I’ve heard some people refer to this as a gallows, and that they must be interrupting an execution or something. But if you look real closely, you are just about able to see not just a rope, but a wheel attached to the wooden construct.

So a rope on a wheel on a wooden construct, with a grey cloudy sky as a backdrop. You know where you’d have a grey cloudy sky?

At sea, during a storm

We already know that they must be going to sea this season, because another one of the sneak peek images shows Ezran in front of a stormy ocean while it rains, and we saw them on a boat in the first teaser poster for season 5

But there was something else that we saw on that poster. And that was

Nyx, the criminal skywing elf from season 3

For those who don’t remember:

Nyx was the elf who intercepted the Lighthawk arrow with the letter that Ethari sent to the dragon queen, to inform her of Zym being alive.

She’s also the one who abandoned Callum and Rayla at the midnight dessert oasis, which is probably a good reason why Callum would distrust her

She also tried to kidnap Zym, which would make it likely that Zym dislikes her

And yet, after causing all that trouble (which includes the part where she’s basically the reason one of Raylas mounts, and Runaans dog pet moonstrider DIED), Rayla saves her life, which probably means Rayla might feel entitled to being a bit sassy towards Nyx.

And since this all happened while Rayla, Callum and Zym were in Xadia, neither Ezran nor Soren have met her before.

So in conclusion, seeing as that Nyx will be with them anyways (poster), and she’s the only one who fits to all the criteria named above, it seems as though she is the one Rayla is smiling to in that sneak peek image.

Now, why is she talking to Nyx? Might it be because she’s telling Nyx to join the dragon gang on their next endeavor? (In return for having saved her life from the soulfang serpents in season 3)? And if so, why Nyx of all people?

Alas, that may be a theory for another day ;)

But one thing’s for certain: Nyx is making a comeback in season 5, and I for one cannot wait to see her again!

✨Violet Midnight Ch. 14 Release✨

I closed my eyes and remembered his face. His eyes like the sky after a storm--cool and kind. Curls combed back like they were when we first met at grandma Imelda's bakery all those years ago. Donovan's skin kissed by the Mediterranean sun.

"Moon River" was playing on the stereo when he came barreling in. So young and handsome and hopelessly lost, he hardly knew a word in Spanish or where he was--the worry concealed behind wide doe eyes that shimmered like the sea. His curls fell onto his brow as he attempted contact. I can still see it now, Donovan in his linen shorts and white button down that had been hastily tucked into his waistline.

Grandma Imelda clicked her tongue at me as she emerged from the back kitchen where she had been preparing the dough for tomorrow's batch of bread. It was only a moment before she was as befuddled and amused as I was. But grandmother had a soft spot for dashing male damsels in distress. Smacking my shoulder with the back of her hand she told me not to make the poor boy suffer any longer. So straightening my posture I took the map from Donovan's hands and told him in English that his hostel was on the other side of town.

"Francoise Sylvenne." Extending my hand to him, my heart leapt when he took mine in his; it warm and strong with callouses on his fingertips.

"Donovan Galpin."

Donovan... The name suited him.

"Is this your shop?" Donovan asked somewhat awkwardly--our hands still joined as he looked around in gesture as if to punctuate his point.

I shook my head. "It's my grandmothers. I only work here during the summer. Then I go back to Sorbonne for school."

"What are you studying?" he said almost immediately only to fumble seconds later as he remembered his manners. "S-Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude or intrusive. I didn't mean anything by--"

"Music."

"Music?" Donovan echoed, face still flustered and worried.

"Mhm," I hummed. "Music composition and theory."

Emboldened by the fact that he had yet to release my hand I took a chance on this feeling I had.

"My shift ends in a quarter hour," I informed him casually hoping he would catch the encrypted tone of my voice. "If you wait until then I can show you to your hostel."

The boy was as smart as he was handsome because his eyes sparked and cheeks dimpled. "I'd like that."

Donovan, my darling. My tall, tan, and charming boy from the Carolinas, I still remember our first date. It wasn't supposed to be one. That's what you told me when I innocently teased you for how nice you looked in your dark jeans and button down. I wore my favorite red dress that night with the straps that you diligently slid back up my shoulders. You would later slip them off with kisses to my neck and chest that night when we returned to your room. I still remember the electric bliss of your caress. The desire and want in your kiss and power of your hands. How they held me close to you as you made me yours and I marked you as mine.

My heart broke the next morning when I had to leave. It would only be until Tuesday--two days time but still too long to wait. Our laughter filled that small bedroom as you pulled me back down onto the bed. As you showered me in kisses, took my hand in yours, and called me "darling" as your thumb stroked me cheek. Who knew the love and adoration I would come to know from a single word. A pet name that you called me and me alone. The name you whispered with a kiss to my forehead as I wept in your arms at the airport when you left.

I loved you so much.

How Dittophobia connected FNaF4, Sister Location, FNaF6, UCN, and Security Breach. [FNaF Books]

Dittophobia is the third story of the Tales of the Pizza Plex B-7 book, this book didn't release yet but it got leaked and this story was able to connect five games from FNaF 4 to Security Breach in a way that feels complete and coherent (to me, at least). I would recommend reading the summary here to know what I'm talking about:

Pointless to say this will contain ✨spoilers.✨

This story talks about Rory, a 7yo kid that every night has nightmares that are the FNaF 4 gameplay. One day he woke up realizing he didn't have nightmares during that night, but something is off, he looks older and his room is in decay. What happened to him is that back when he was 7 he ran away from his home for having abusive parents and ended up being kidnapped by William Afton.

William experimented on him to study human emotions, using a hallucinogenic gas to make him dizzy enough to not make him realize he's stuck in a fake house to not make him escape (it works similar to the illusion disks). When William got springlocked this kid got trapped in this nightmarish loop for 10 years.

The only reason he woke up was because the machine that was releasing that gas shut down. Now lucid, Rory starts roaming the house realizing the nightmares he saw attacking him during the night were just mannequins with wheels to move and actually unable to arm. He now was able to see how the other rooms of the house were fake as well and that he was hallucinating the food he ate in a different way compared to what he was actually eating. He finds a way out from the FNaF 4 fake home and discovers he's in the Sister Location bunker, the Funtimes are still there and right before he was going to left, a recorded message from a man named "Wade" reminds him how his life was miserable before running away and that's why nobody was able to find him yet, convincing him that now he would not be able to readapt back to society and that no one was missing him. Rory decides to go back to the bedroom, reactivate the machine and go back to live in that illusion, it wasn't the first time he tried to escape, but he always went back every time he would try to leave.

The best thing to do now is to go see what this story is trying to tell us:

The FNaF 4 Experiment Theory got confirmed.

The Nightmares are real robots but their appearances are an illusion, similarly to how the Twisted work in The Twisted Ones. The Nightmares' UCN voicelines further confirm this point.

We found the original Nightmares in Security Breach; "mannequin to wheels to move, unable to harm". This also explains why their nightmarish counterparts have a jumpscare sound far similar to the Nightmare animatronics, IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE!!

Midnight Motorist might be about William kidnapping Rory, as in both stories there's a kid running away from their abusive family.

William is the one talking through the Fredbear plush during FNaF 4 just like how he did in the recorded message at the end of Dittophobia pretending to be someone else, gaslighting the kid to go back and that everyone hates him.

This story feels like it was really written by Scott Cawthon for how well it was able to accurately connect all these games, seeing how for now this book should be the last one from the Tales from the Pizza Plex I think it is safe to assume he wanted to conclude that in a way that would connect the oldest games to the newest to satisfy most of the fandom and give us a satisfying conclusion to this and move on.

Feel free to follow me on DeviantArt, Twitter and Wattpat where I share theories like these and fanart!

This is all for now, have a nice rest of your day/night and remember to stay hydrated!🦓🦄💖💫✨

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

5. ACCEPTANCE 🤍

👩🏼 You’re On Your Own, Kid: I KNEW it. I KNEW when Joever happened and I looked back onto Midnights that this song was an ode to understanding that she’s always been by herself and was fine and that it was almost like a way to calm herself that being “single” after 6 years won’t completely destroy her. But that aspect is obviously just one of many. YOYOK obvs is about so much more: growing up, girl hood, woman hood, self love etc 😌🩷 but I genuinely think this song was a first and very big step onto accepting that this love she held onto had ended and that eventually, she would be… okay 🕊️

💋Labyrinth: She will forever be able to feel like she’s falling again. To me, this song describes this beautiful/scary moment when she realized for the first time that she had a crush on someone else again ✈️

✨Midnight Rain: Not 100% sure which rs this is about but this song fits so well into this playlist because it’s an explanation for her why a rs doesn’t work out: 2 people want different things, and she always had to bet on herself - aka she did the right thing, even if it hurts sometimes

🪢 Invisible String: This one GAGGED me on here. And i feel like it relates a lot to Mastermind. Joe wasn’t magically put into her life, marked as “the one”. She did that. SHE was the Mastermind behind their romance, behind giving him the savior title, writing all these incredible songs about him that made even the rest of the world (and herself) think that he’s something he just wasn’t. Yes, there was an invisible string tying him and her together. But she’s got more strings she’s attached to. And she decided to only focus on this one string to Joe which, ultimately, she cut. I love that this song ended up on the Acceptance playlist because it also shows that she still believes in the magic of love. She still believes in the invisible string theory of two people being guided through the journey of life and ultimately ending up together 🤍

And finally….

💔 Innocent/Breathe: The REAL heartbreak to me. The fact that at the very end, she chose these two songs in this order, makes me emotional. I think it’s a very wise, very personal way of Taylor ending this chapter of her life. Innocent is a song about forgiveness, which she wrote to someone back then who never deserved it. She wrote it about someone who had deeply hurt her, wishing him nothing but growth and the knowingness that he will be okay one day (because as so often, Taylor already knew back then that him hurting her was ultimately hurting himself, and this weirdly feels extremely fitting when it comes to Joe, his life, his reputation, his career 🙃). It was a way of her, the victim, standing up for herself and her life and saying “it’s okay. I forgive you” (even though he never did deserve it). Breathe, on the other hand, is a song for which she has made it very clear that it’s never been about a relationship or a romantic connection. Breathe is about losing a friend. And this to me just gives off as a last message that whilst she’s accepts their story, accepts her denial, the anger, the struggle of coming to closure, and finally filling your life with new things after this loss… She can find it in her to forgive him. She doesn’t miss him anymore. She doesn’t want him in her life anymore. But what is left, is the realisation that in between all of these feelings, she’s also lost a friend.

[ravangie]

If u ever paint the scene where human fiona and shrek float into the air at midnight with sparkles all around them and become ogres again after that "i want what any princess wants: to live happily ever after....with the ogre i married" line that makes me cry every time i will actually just leave this plane of existence.

Or the king and queen from shrek reimagined as queen and queen, just two old royal lesbians, maybe I'll just astrally project and never return.

Just spitballing feel free to send me to detention lord knows I can't even handle the excitement from what you've made already, fantastic work! Cheers

My goodness the way you find ways with your words is just 😭🤌🤌

Thank you thank you thank you!! I just woke up and saw your message and you've made my day already!💖💖💖💖💖

Interesting thing, I had a whole discussion with my dear friend about Fiona's parents and how one would go about making them both women. We came to a conclusion that in a ✨magical world of lesbians✨ everything is possible. Meaning: our current theory is that The Fairy Godmother helped The Queen and Queen have a baby, but in return locked her away in a tower for Princess Charming to rescue her. That's what we're working with.

So. Everything is very much possible and the two old royal lesbians could show up here in the future. Two old royal lesbians sounds... very nice, actually.....

P.S.: I also cry everytime I see that midnight scene!! I can't help it I just start bawling! I love that movie so much...

Today on December 6 is Elwood Blues anniversary ! Happy birthday Elwood ♡ let’s have some dry white toast today in his honor 🤭🍞

On the eve of Elwood’s birthday 4 years ago, I saw the Blues Brothers movie for the first time. And it was surprisingly good ! I remembered developing a crush on Elwood immediately right after the movie, I was looking for every piece of art, theory and videos I could get my teeth into. And 4 years after I’m still here, back in my Blues Brothers era, doing this as a gift for my biggest comfort character ever. The Blues Brothers is an amazing movie and I feel blessed to have Elwood as one of my blorbos, I couldn’t express how much his character means to me and I’m so glad of still being a fan years after 💖✨

PS : you know… i can still meet Elwood at the motel at midnight… just sayin…😳👉👈

Stranger things incorrect quote generator (feat. The Sapphic senate, The party, the Byers-Hopper family, Scoops Troop and random shit 👌)

Pt 4

Sapphic Senate

Chrissy: H-how do you ask someone out?

Robin: Well, first-

Nancy: Don't ask them, they asked me out in a McDonalds parking lot.

Chrissy: ...And you said yes?

(ofc she did, to both Robin and Nancy)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy, planning a group disguise: You cannot be Blake Bortles.

Robin: Fine! Then I’ll be Jake-

Nancy, under their breath: Don’t say Jortles.

Robin: Jortles! And I work at the molotov cocktail department.

(Molotov Cocktail let's go 😩)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: HYDRATE OR DIE-DRATE!

Chrissy: *aggressively throws water bottles*

Vickie: Uh... what's up with them?

Robin: They're trying to yell mental health and wellbeing into us.

Chrissy: I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!

Nancy, crying: It's working.

(Nancy needed that 😪)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Chrissy you can’t move in with Robin.

Chrissy: Why not?

Nancy: Well, um, how are you going to feel when they see you without any makeup?

Chrissy: I’m not wearing makeup right now.

Nancy: Holy crap, you’re beautiful.

(Nancy was jealous at first, also yes she is 🥺✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: You’re just being paranoid. Again.

Robin: When have I been paranoid?

Nancy: Um, when you first met Vickie you thought they were an undercover cop…?

Robin: No one has a wart that big, I thought it was a surveillance camera!

Nancy: And last year you were sure Chrissy was a mermaid!

Robin: They hate wearing shirts! COINCIDENCE?!

*Later, when Robin’s theory is proven wrong*

Nancy: Do you have anything to say for yourself?

Robin: I still think Chrissy is a mermaid.

(She probably is tho 👀 *gasp* Mystical Creature AU or smth and Chrissy is a mermaid 👍)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie: Did you buy eggs like I asked?

Chrissy: Even better!

Vickie: What the fuck did you-

Chrissy: *holding up a chicken* Her name is Fluffy.

(She 100% brought a cow once too for the milk)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: If you water water, it grows.

Chrissy: ...What.

Vickie: They've got a point.

(she does)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie: I’m in love with you.

Chrissy: We called off the prank war last night at midnight, dork.

Vickie: I know.

Chrissy: Ah. Okay. Um. Cool. Neat. Very cool. Cool. Cool. Coolcoolcool-

(They definitely had a prank war)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

*The squad is playing a team sport*

Nancy: Are you upset you don’t get to be on the same team as Chrissy?

Vickie: Have you ever played a game with Chrissy?

Nancy: No…

Chrissy: Have you ever been trapped in a cage with a wolverine?

*Meanwhile, on the other side of the field*

Chrissy, chasing Robin: I SAID FASTER! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD “FASTER” MEANS? IT MEANS MORE FAST!!!!

(leave Robin alone! She said it took her 6 months longer to walk than other babies!)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: We call that a traumatic experience.

Nancy, turning to Robin: Not a "bruh moment".

Nancy, turning to Vickie: Not "sadge".

Nancy, turning to Chrissy: And DEFINITELY not an "oof LMAO".

(these fit perfectly)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie: I like to play this game called nap roulette. I take a nap and don’t set an alarm. Will it be 20 min or 4 hours? Nobody knows. It’s risky and I like it.

(that's her personality right there and I love it)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Why are you late?

Nancy: A technical error occurred, causing an unexpectedly long bout of unconsciousness.

Robin: Overslept?

Nancy: Overslept.

(Vickie is like "That's why I don't set alarms" or smth) 😌

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: You can't wake up if you never got to sleep.

(Robin, go to sleep, pls😪)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Make no mistake. Not only am I party rocking, but I am also in the house tonight.

Vickie: But are you shuffling?

Robin: Everyday.

Nancy: What language are you two speaking??

(Robin and Vickie are just Vibin' ✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: I feel like everyone on this island is suspicious, Robin. Except you!

Robin: But Nancy, I think you're suspicious!

Nancy: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Oof, heartbroken 💔 such betrayal 😔)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: Be right back, gonna hit the toilet for a quick power sob.

(too soon?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Vickie taught me to think before I act.

Nancy: ...So if I smack the shit out of you, rest assured that I thought about it and am confident in my decision.

(That's one of the differences between the Responsible Sapphics here)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: How late were you up last night?

Chrissy & Robin, in tandem: Me?

Nancy: No, not you two. You stay up late all the time.

Nancy, to Vickie: You.

(because of all nap roulette lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Thought I was meowing back at my cat for the past hour, but it was just me and Robin meowing at each other from different rooms in the house.

(So Robin started it is how I read it)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Why are you burning our marriage certificate!?

Robin: Good luck trying to return me without a receipt.

(I feel like Nancy has made a copy of it, she somehow knew that something was gonna happen)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: I love saying 'fuck me' because it can either be sexual or self-loathing and those are two things that describe me perfectly.

(Chrissy and Vickie would say something about how Nancy will or 'i don't wanna get on Nancy's bad side' or just 'no thanks' idk about Nancy tho I'm torn between either 'gladly' or her getting flustered)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: *pulls back the curtain while Nancy is showering*

Chrissy: Hey did we - stop screaming it’s me - did we run out of Cheerios?

(Chrissy does it to everyone, stay safe 😬)

Bonus:

Robin running into the bathroom: I heard screaming what's wro- *faints*

Nancy: *concerned* Robin!?

Chrissy: *confused* I thought she already saw you naked?

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: *watching their house burn down*

Robin:

Robin: *starts filming* Waddup, guys, welcome to my vlog, today's topic: how to get away with accidentally committing arson because you forgot Spaghetti O's cans are metal and thus non-microwavable! Step one: deny everything.

(this was the start of them going to be Roommates 👍)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy, washing the dishes: Who the fuck used this pan??

Nancy: Wait. I the fuck used this pan…

Robin: It was you the fuck.

Nancy: It was I the fuck…

Vickie: Who cooks rice in a pan?

Robin: They the fuck.

(I just loved that 'I the fuck' 😂)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie, singing to the tune of I Kissed a Girl: I killed a guy, and I liked it-

Robin, whispering: Should we call the exorcist?

Chrissy, also singing: The taste of his cherry chapstick.

Nancy, appalled: Call the exorcist.

(Perfection)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Like they say, "If you can't beat them, curl up in a ball and protect your organs."

(I- this reminds me of a ronance fic I read damn)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy, at the slightest provocation: I came into this earth screaming and covered in someone else's blood and and I'm not afraid to leave the same way.

(Don't make her your enemy)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: *raises eyebrows*

Robin: Put those back down!

(is she surprised or why she raising her brows?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Your lover doesn't have the mental strength to caramelize onions.

Chrissy: Your lover thinks it takes 5-10 minutes to caramelize onions.

Vickie: Who's fucking caramelizing onions? Have you sociopaths forgotten that apples exist?

Robin: Do you think caramelizing onions is putting caramel on onions.

(I don't understand what is going on)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Is the plural of milf/dilf milfs/dilfs or milves/dilves?

Chrissy: Milfs.

Vickie: Milf/dilf is an acronym, you can't change the spelling to milves/dilves.

Robin: Wait, they're acronyms? What do they stand for???

Nancy: Mom in late forties, dad in late fourties.

Nancy: I learned that from the movie called M.I.L.F that I saw the trailer of in theaters probably 5 to 7 years ago.

Vickie: Mom/dad I'd Love to Fuck.

Robin: WAIT, WHAT THE FUCK—

Robin: I NEVER REALIZED IT WAS ACTUALLY HORNY!

Nancy: Oh, is it not mom in late fouries?

Chrissy: What? No! It isn't!

Nancy: THE MOVIE TRAILER LIED TO ME!

Vickie: Nancy...

Nancy: THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T THINK CALLING PEOPLE MILFS WAS ALL THAT BAD BECAUSE IT STOOD FOR SOMETHING HARMLESS IT JUST HAD A SLIGHTLY SEXUAL CONNOTATION!

Vickie: I am entirely unsurprised that this is coming from you.

Nancy: ROBIN, DOES IT MAKE SENSE WHY I CALLED THE DIARY OF A WIMPY KID MOM A MILF NOW BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS LITERALLY JUST A DESCRIPTOR WITH FUNNY CONNOTATION!

Robin: The word milf has been ruined for me.

Chrissy: THAT'S ITS DEFINITION, IT CAN'T BE RUINED THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS!

Vickie: Y'all are dumbasses.

(Chrissy and Vickie definitely call Karen a milf (in front of Nancy sometimes) and were surprised they didn't die lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: I have yet to encounter a problem where a sword didn't factor into the solution at least in some way.

(let👏Robin👏have👏a👏sword👏)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[The Byers-Hopper Family]

Hopper: How many children do you have?

Joyce: Biologically, legally, or emotionally? Because there is a difference.

(She is everyones mother, like Steve but an actual mom)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El, reading a recipe: Beat three eggs?

Hopper: It means like in hand-to-hand combat.

El: Ohhhh-

Joyce: Both of you get out of this kitchen.

(Canon)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will: I’m sad.

Jonathan : Don’t be sad, because sad backwards is das.

Jonathan : And das not good.

(This is literally the S2 scene, I love Jonathan being a good brother✨✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will: You’ve got to learn to love yourself.

Hopper: But don't you hate yourself.

Will: Yeah, but this is about you. Stay focused.

(will 😔)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hopper: What is this!?

Joyce: That’s the weight of guilt. Give in to the nice side. Help those unfortunate, and make the guilt go away, my friend.

Hopper: Ow! Make it stop!

Joyce: Surrender to your kindness, Hopper. It’s nice to be nice.

Hopper: Your guilt is strong, my friend. But it is no match for the power of my selfishness!

(S1 or smth idk)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Joyce: Why isn’t the statue smirking at me?

Hopper: It isn’t smirking at anyone, they’re all just imagining it.

Will: Three of us saw it, Hopper. How do you explain that?

Hopper: *points at El* Sleep deprivation. *points at Will* Paranoia. *points at Jonathan * Delusional personality disorder.

(best family trip ever 👍)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hopper: Yes, I'm adopting Will and you cowards can't tell me no!

(I had it once with El but I forgot to copy paste it, but this is cute too🥺)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: *eating a cinnamon roll*

Hopper: Cannibalism.

El: *confused chewing noises*

(Looks like a cinnamon roll, could kill you)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Joyce: I mean, sure, I have my bad days, but then I remember what a cute smile I have.

(yes, you have a cute smile 🥺)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Joyce: Why do you think I don’t like you? I do. I would kill for you.

Joyce: Ask me to kill for you.

Hopper: ...First of all, calm down-

(She kinda wouldn't but also would 🤔)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

*The gang's thoughts on stabbing*

Jonathan : Would never stab anyone.

Joyce: Would stab someone in retaliation.

Will: Yells "I won't hesitate, bitch!" first.

Hopper: Would stab without warning.

El: Would stab as a warning.

(I feel like it couldn't fit better, maybe Joyce and Jonathan switch ig)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hopper walking into the kitchen and seeing all their limes peeled: Joyce, I love you but, what the h-e-double FUCK.

Joyce, sipping coffee happily: I love you too :)

(apparently the generator loves jopper, lots of good Jopper quotes. love them)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will: ...This is one of those moments where it doesn't really matter what I have to say, isn't it?

(this sums up S3 and S4 👍)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Joyce: I don’t even use tubberware anymore.

Hopper: What are you saying? Say it again.

Joyce: Tubberware.

Hopper: Say it again. Slow.

Joyce: Tubberware.

Hopper: Slow, very slow - actually, say the first syllable.

Joyce: Tub.

Hopper: Wrong.

Joyce: What do you mean, wrong?

Hopper: I thought I caught that. You’re saying tub. It’s P.

Joyce: What are you talking about?

Hopper: Tupperware. Tupper.

Joyce: It’s tupper!

Hopper: It’s tupper, always has been, always will be.

Joyce: I thought it was tubberware because it kind of looks like a tub.

(I love you Joyce✨❤️)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[The Party]

Max: El kissed me!

Lucas: Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Max: It was unbelievable!

Lucas: Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

Will: Okay, we wanna hear everything. Lucas, get the wine and unplug the phone. Max, does this end well or do we need tissues?

Max: Oh, it ended very well.

Lucas: Do not start without me! Do not start without me!

Will: Okay, alright, let’s hear about the kiss. Was it a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, you know, “I gotta have you now” kind of thing?

Max: Well, at first it was really intense, you know? And then, oh God, and then we just sort of sunk into it.

Will: Ohh... So, okay, were they holding you? Or were their hands on your back?

Max: First they started out on my waist and then they slid up and then they were in my hair.

Lucas and Will: Ohhh.

*meanwhile*

El eating pizza in their house: And, uh, and then I kissed them.

Mike: Tongue?

El: Yeah.

Dustin: Cool.

(this was the first thing of them combined and I love it 😂✨ #Elmax also the groups 👌)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: Why does everyone want to kill Mike?

Max: Because, goddamnit, have you seen them? Their neck looks so snappable.

(the best of frenemies ✨🥺)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: Where have you been all day?

Mike: Oh, just dealing with things way beyond my maturity level.

(accurate)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max, opening a Capri Sun: Guess I'll drink my sorrows away.

(Her Moms are watching her 👀 so she can't drink alcohol)

Bonus: (also from the generator)

Max: I drink to forget but I always remember.

Lucas: You're drinking orange juice.

(well she just said drink, she didn't say what she drank 👀)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: So, Mike, do you have a crush on anyone?

Mike: The only crush I have is this crushing anxiety

Bonus

El:

Mike: Also Will

(Byler is canon ig)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Lucas: I hope you have an explanation for this.

Mike: We have three actually-

Will: Pick your favorite.

(Lucas catching Mike cheating or what is going on?👀)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Teacher: Your child was in a fight.

Mike: Oh no, that’s terrible!

Will: Did they win?

(Honestly, I feel like this fits, also set in the future ofc)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: A party is a celebration of a life, bringing people together to let the guest of honor know how much they’re loved. Will has done so much for us. This is our chance to do something for them.

Mike: By forcing them to have fun at a party that they don’t want to be at?

Dustin: I knew you’d understand.

(Will doesn't want a party and Mike is trying to stopped them from throwing one)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: Time sensitive question how to flirt with boy.

Will: Throw rocks at him.

Mike: Hot Dogs.

Max: Kill him.

Dustin: Thanks guys.

(maybe max killed Lucas and that's why he isn't here 👀)

Bonus:

Mike: You're way of annoying me is the same way you are flirting?

Will:

Max: is he serious?

Dustin: omg

Mike: what?

Will shaking his head: How oblivious can a person be 😪

Also Will obliviously eating the Hot Dog Mike gave him:

Max: They are both idiots

Dustin: yeah

(i feel like will wouldn't be oblivious tho, just not believing that Mike likes him back)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Mike: Just a minute. I need to go take out the trash.

Will: Oh. We're going out?

Mike: Wh...

(Will no)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: Goddamn it, the printer broke while printing out Max's birthday invitations.

Lucas: Well, what are they supposed to say?

Dustin: "Max's birthday".

Lucas: So, what do they say instead?

Dustin: "Max’s bi".

Lucas:

Lucas: Works out either way.

(I love that it's Lucas saying that)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Mike: Do you ever get pre-annoyed? Like you already know someone is going to piss you off?

Lucas: What? No, I—

Max: *enters room*

Mike: *jaw clenches*

(✨🥺Frenemies🥺✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will: There are three ways to handle a difficult situation. The right way, the wrong way, and the Mike way.

El: Isn't that the wrong way?

Will: Yes, but it's faster.

(affectionately)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will: Regular soda is too sweet!

El: Diet soda has a weird after taste!

Will: No! Ugh, oh my god. Diet soda is THE BEST! It doesn't have sugar! It's SPICY!

El: It has other weird stuff in it! I'll take REGULAR sugar in my REGULAR soda!

Will: It's SO SWEET like it's a dessert though! Diet feels more like a drink!

El: I'm going to physically attack you.

Will: Which is better, Mike?

Mike: Oh, I usually drink water!

El: Wha- NO!

Will: DISGUSTING!

(i love this so much)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Mike: So, did everyone learn their lesson?

El: No.

Will: I did not.

Max: I may have actually forgotten one.

Dustin: Also no.

Mike: Oh good, neither did I.

Lucas: *Exhausted sigh*

(Lucas is so done lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

*Max is telling a story*

Lucas: Wow, Max, this story has everything! Action! Adventure! Romance!

Will: Romance?

Lucas: I have a crush on them.

(That's adorable, he's such a dork)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will, looking over Max’s shoulder: You can draw?

Max, stopping what they were doing: You can speak?

(I feel like this is canon lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: Watcha doin?

Dustin: Stealing my neighbour’s cat.

Max: Scandalous.

Max: Can I help?

(Rip mews 😔)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: FUCK THE CHAIR. PARDON ME FOR MAKING MYSELF COMFORTABLE DURING A SINCERE HEART TO HEART DISCUSSION WITH A DEAR FRIEND IN NEED!

Max: BUT THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO CEASE STRADDLING THIS DEEPLY OFFENSIVE PIECE OF FURNITURE! AWAY WITH YE, FOUR LEGGED TEMPTRESS! DISTRACT US NO MORE WITH THE MOST BASIC AND UTILITARIAN FORM OF COMFORT YOU SUPPLY!

Dustin: Max just threw a tantrum about a chair.

Dustin: I just won Max Tantrum Bingo.

(Ginger snaps 😬)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: I hate taking off my glasses, because without them, my vision goes from Full HD all the way down to buffering at 240p and I just can't handle that.

(if she still has her vision it would definitely be fucked so yes, also I relate so much)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: HYDRATE OR DIE-DRATE!

Dustin: *aggressively throws water bottles*

Mike: Uh... what's up with them?

Will: They're trying to yell mental health and wellbeing into us.

Dustin: I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!

El, crying: It's working.

(naww, El 🥺)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: Who wants to make fifty bucks?

Mike: How?

Dustin: I need someone to take the fall.

Mike: What did you do?

Dustin: I can't tell you. Yes or no, no questions asked.

Will, from the other room: Oh my god.

Dustin: ...

Will: OH MY GOD!

Mike: Make it a hundred.

Dustin: Deal.

(Dustin probably did something with one of his drawings.. And because Will is kinda a simp he'd not be that hard on Mike)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: I'm not doing to well.

Dustin: What's wrong?

El: I have this headache that comes and goes.

*Max enters the room*

El: There it is again.

(S2 Elmax)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: El is not a morning person. Or a night person. There’s really only about seven minutes a day you are fun to be around.

El: The best part is you never know when they’re coming.

(I just love this cause 7/11...)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: You have an impressive pain tolerance.

Will: Thanks, it's the trauma.

(well, there is more trauma coming, honey)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Mike: How petty can you get?

Dustin: I once edited a Wikipedia article to win an argument I was wrong about.

(I wonder who he argued with)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: If any person here knows of any just cause or impediment why these two should not be joined together in holy matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

Will: Yes! I do. One of the partners is already married! They married me three years ago. And don’t let them deny it! I’ve got the marriage certificate to prove it!

*Dustin turns around to face them*

Will: Oh... sorry. Wrong church.

(He meant to go to M*leven's wedding)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

*In the chip aisle at Walmart, doing a late-night grocery run.*

El: *Minding their own business, looking for Eggos*

El: *Finds Eggos.*

Max, to Dustin: See, they know what they're here for. They know what they're doing. Be more like them. Make a decision, Dustin!

(I just found it funny and change the other thing to eggos, and Max is also just admiring El)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?! HE COULD HAVE HAD HOPES AND DREAMS, HE COULD HAVE HAD A FAMILY!!!

Max: El-

Max: It- it was just an ant-

(oop)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: Here you go, El, a nice hot cup of coffee!

El: It's cold.

Max: A nice cup of coffee.

El: It's horrible!

Max: Cup of coffee.

El: I'm not sure if this even IS coffee.

Max: C U P.

(S2, Max trying to be nice to El)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[S1]

Lucas: Start talking!

El: Well, I-

Lucas: Shut up!

(good old days)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Lucas: I’m going to hell.

Max: Probably.

Lucas: I'll pick you up?

Max: *nodding* Carpool

(Lucas could never go to Hell ✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will: Hi.

Lucas: Hey, did you do what I said? Did you tell them?

Will: I did.

Lucas: And what did they say?

Will: “Thank you.”

Lucas: You’re totally welcome. What’d they say?

Will: They said, “Thank you.” I said “I love you” and Mike said, “Thank you.”

(S5 basically?.. Also Lucas 🥺✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Lucas: If I stay in bed I'll be warm. If I get in the shower, I'll also be warm. But the distance between the bed and shower? No. That is not warm.

(such a dork)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt.

Lucas: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.

(The question is, does max have fuzzy socks? 👀)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: I'm so tired of this life. I want to be a roomba. I want knives taped to me. And I want to be set loose.

(just gonna let it stand there)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: You seem familiar... have I threatened you before?

(no, but I wouldn't mind- I mean what?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: When I see initials carved into a tree with a heart I think it’s so romantic. Two lovers on a date... one of them carrying a knife for some reason.

(Imaging Mike making one for him and El and El still using it but for Elmax)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: Say no to drugs.

Dustin: Say yes to drugs.

Dustin: It doesn't matter if you say yes or no to drugs, cause if you're talking to drugs... then you're on drugs.

(he and Robin are smart)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin, after getting a library card: Now I know what true power feels like.

(Now you know 🌠)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will: I honestly feel like some of our conversations here are almost word-for-word accurate to the generator.

Lucas: Yup.

El: Maybe the generator is watching us.

Will: Wouldn't that imply this conversation will be added?

Will: ...

Will: Wait—

(I love the fourth wall break 😭❤️❤️. Also yes, some are very accurate!)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[Scoops Troop]

Steve: Are you ever going to listen to me?

Erica: Yes. Absolutely.

Steve: When?

Erica: When you're right.

(She ate and left no crumps)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: When you've been on the internet for as long as I have, you develop thick skin.

Erica: Navy blue isn't your color.

Robin: Navy blue brings out my eyes you prick! *Chases after Erica*

(She looked amazing in her uniform 😌, how dare you insult her Erica 👀)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: What’s the straightest thing you’ve ever done?

Russians: *sighs*

Russians: I killed a man.

(I added Russians and this is the only good one)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dustin: *sees someone doing something stupid*

Dustin: What an idiot.

Dustin: *realizes it's Steve*

Dustin: Wait, that's MY idiot!

(Canon)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: The first time Steve opened a box of Cheerios and looked inside they yelled, "OH WOW! DONUT SEEDS!"

(he's a dingus)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: Question. When they shot Bambi's mother, did you find that a sad moment...at all?

Robin: I'm sure she's mounted on a nice wall in a fine home somewhere.

(well Damn)

Bonus:

Steve: First the spider thing now this. What is wrong with you.

(It feels accurate)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: Don’t go picking a fight with me. I could make your life difficult.

Robin, sarcastically: Wow. I wonder what it’d be like to have a difficult life.

(Robin angst let's go ✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[The Almost and Adult adults]

Steve: Have you done this before?

Robin: Well, Steve, it's like if you read the script you come better prepared.

I realize that Hello Puppets: Midnight Show came out on October 19th 2022. I didn’t have the time to draw the first anniversary art for them, which I’m a little bit sad about. But at least I could revisit watching SuperHorrorBro’s Hello Puppets videos. I really enjoyed his gameplay, the secrets he found in the game, and making theories.

If anyone (including the Hello Puppets fans) haven’t heard of the Hello Puppets song called “Show Everyone by Kyle Allen Music,” I recommend listening to this amazing song. He did a fantastic job along with the people who sings as the Handeemen, and the song is really good.

Happy 1st Anniversary to Hello Puppets: Midnight Show!!! 🥳🎉🎊💖🌟✨🎆🎇
