#4, 11 and 19 for the movie asks, please!

4. A black and white film - Drawing Flies (1996) is a black and white movie about a man who goes searching for bigfoot in the forests of Canada, starring Jason Lee, it was one of my favorite movies as a teen, I still have my VHS copy of it. My mom had to special order it at the video rental place near our house to get me a copy for christmas the year it came out.

11. A film who's main genre is comedy - This is a hard one. I don't watch many straight up comedies that aren't also horror. I'm going to go with Crazy People - a movie that I haven't seen in years but I remember really enjoying the few times I have seen it. It's a black comedy starring Dudley Moore that came out in 1990.

19. I've gotta pick In Search of Darkness (2019) for this one. It's a four and a half hour long documentary about classic and cult horror movies told by their stars, directors, VFX people, etc who participated in making them, there are currently two ISOD movies, I believe, though I've only seen the first one, I haven't gotten around to 2 yet

Thank you for asking! :)

The one where Gav's an urban legend

---

February 12, 2013

Kazuo spun in his chair, laptop precariously balanced on his lap.  Ian glanced over, "If you drop that again, I'm going to get you one of those cases like they put on toddler tablets." "I'm careful.  My balance is impeccable." "You fell down the stairs yesterday," Gav didn't even look up from his computer.  "Those stairs are a death trap."

Ian looked at the clock, "Another half hour and we can get lunch." "Sounds good." Kazuo spun in his chair again, before kicking his feet up on his desk.  He was busy scrolling through Reddit, flitting from one subreddit to the next.  Somehow, he wound up on r/Detroit, and immediately took notice of one thread -

What's the weirdest thing you've seen at night?

Kazuo looked at Gav, remembering every weird street story he'd been told.  He started scrolling, the usual nonsense popping up - haunted places, I saw Bigfoot at Burger King, the norm.  And then….

-

Okay, so when I was a teen, me and my shithead friends would go joyriding in abandoned neighborhoods, blasting music and being assholes, throwing beer bottles and smoking pot.  It was a Friday or Saturday, maybe 1 AM.  We liked to turn off our headlights to make it creepy, and I know, stupid but we were teens.  I don't remember what street it was, but the houses were all burned out, when something ran in front of our car.  My girlfriend screamed, and I turned the lights on.  There was this ginger kid, beaten up and filthy, flinching away.  He looked scared and half crazy, and then I swear to God, he took off running, climbed the side of a house like Spider-man and disappeared.  We still don't know what the fuck he was.

-

Oh thank god I'm not the only one who saw that guy.  He was fast and nimble.  Like a spider.  Never said a thing.  Saw him in a ton of places, usually after dark while joyriding.  Had a wide range and often had a pack of dogs that were NOT friendly.  There was a big Saint Bernard type that tore the bumper off my buddy's car.  It was held on with duct tape, but it's the principle.  Fuckin' Cujo.

-

I see you met the Detroit Dogman.  Tiny ginger dude.  I saw him with a pack of dogs around the old Packard plant.  He stood there and his dogs chased my friends and I out.  He was afraid of us.  I wonder what his story is, but I haven't seen him in years now, hope he got off the street.

-

Little man, long red hair?  I saw that dude stealing beef jerky and roller grill crap from a 7-Eleven.  I didn't say a word, he looked malnourished.  He left and a pack of dogs materialized out of the alley.  Weird.

-

I saw him from a distance, carrying a shovel and a bloody bundle.  I followed a bit behind, just in case he was a serial killer, and he buried it in an empty lot.  I checked it out after he left and found a huge pet cemetery,  markers with names and breeds.  It spanned a few blocks.  I don't think he's a bad guy, just prefers the company of dogs. Maybe he's a runaway, he looked young.

-

I saw him hauling a big bag of dog food. He was having trouble, but he started running when he saw me following him.  His feet and legs were all cut up.  He was FAST though.

-

man i saw this lil fucker swimming with a lot of dogs in the detroit river in fuckin november and he had a fish in his mouth like a big ol wiggly fish what the fuckkkkk

-

I saw him multiple times.  He was kind of cute in a filthy, matted way.  I wanted to ask about his dogs.  He made the city interesting.  I got close once, and he smelled like dirty Vienna sausages.  He noticed and flinched real hard, like he expected me to attack him.  Hope he's doing better now, miss seeing him around.

-

My friends and I were drinking in an abandoned K Mart at night when we heard a weird noise.  This weird little dude was on the roof, howling at the moon.  I threw a Molson bottle and he jumped off the roof and took off running.  What the hell.

-

Kazuo started giggling like a complete idiot.  These were all about Gav.  Gav, who was quietly typing at his computer and listening to music.  There were more stories.  One reply was just a low resolution photo of Gav and his pack squaring off with raccoons in a Big Boy parking lot.  Ian turned slightly, "What are you chuckling about, you degenerate?"  Kazuo wheeled himself over, handing off his laptop, "Here.  Behold."

Ian started reading, "Oh.  Oh my.  Um, Gav?" The redhead looked up, "Yeah?" "We have some things you need to read."  Gav rolled over, squeezing in to look at the screen, "What's so…oh.  This is…about….me?" "You're an urban legend." "Huh.  I mean, I know I probably scared a lot of people at night…and urban explorers…but…wow."

"You are a celebrity," Ian shrugged, "Are there more?" "It's a big thread, so maybe." "This is weird." "You okay?" "Well, the attention from strangers is a bit off putting, but that might be the autism." "The raccoon photo is impressive," Ian studied it.  "Yeah, we had to fight for the dumpsters.  You're not grossed out by me having eaten from dumpsters, are you?"

"We figured you had to do what you needed to survive." "And I've seen Ian drop a gyro in the actual road on Sixth, pick it up, dust it off, and eat it." Gav relaxed, "It was gross, but it helped me feed the group.  I could open dumpsters, and they couldn't." "So, are you going to post?  You can use my account."  Gav thought for a moment, "I think…maybe I should.  I know it'll kill a lot of the mystique, but there are people that want to know if I'm okay." "Hang on," Ian took a photo of Gav in front of the computer, "Sending this to your email, Kaz." 

Kazuo downloaded it, "Add that to your post."  Gav nodded, starting to type.

So, one of my boyfriends found this thread.  (This is his account) I am the Detroit Dogman, and I am safe in Texas after leaving Detroit in 2007.  I had a really bad home life - I'm gay, and was the unwanted twin, and left at 16 in 2005, though I'd been wandering with my pack since late 2002, when I'd found them while wandering during a night I'd run away from home.  We did live in the old Packard plant, though I'd take a few days to get food or try to replace clothes and blankets.  I stole a lot, and I'm not proud of it, but I'd also panhandle, scared as I was of people, to get dog food.

We did fish the Detroit river, and it was the only fresh meat I had while on the street.  I wouldn't call fast food dumpster diving 'fresh'.  Life was rough, but at least I could provide entertaining stories and some scares.

As I said, I'm safe in Texas.  Austin.  I have two wonderful boyfriends who pulled me off the street, and gave me a home and a job - I'm a paralegal now, my one partner is a lawyer, and I'm happy and healthy now.  I'm attaching a photo of me in front of this thread.  I look forward to more stories.  I had to leave my dogs behind because there was no safe way for us to all travel together.  I miss them, and I hope they're okay.  My name is Gav, by the way, to put a name to the dirty, bedraggled face.

Signed, the Detroit Dogman

Gav sat back for a moment, before hitting 'post'.  "You alright?" Ian cocked his head.  "Yeah," Gav said, "It's like I have closure. But I still get to be an urban legend.  I'm okay with that." Kazuo draped himself around Gav's shoulders, "You ready for lunch, Dogman?" "Yeah.  I think we need chili." "Good choice," Ian stood, stretching, "You've earned it."  Gav replaced Kazuo's laptop, "Hard to believe I'm a celebrity." "We'll have to look for more stories," Kazuo grinned.  "I want to compile them," Gav pulled on his coat, "Maybe write some sort of memoir -

The Dogman Chronicles."

@champiionic asked:Rai would excitedly go on a cryptid hunt yessiree :3

SPOOKY AUTUMN PROMPTS (ACCEPTING)

🐻 Try to find a cryptid (bigfoot, mothman…)

'Do you believe in Bigfoot? I mean, we might as well look if we're here.' Even if there's nothing out there in these woods, Kimiko can admit there's something inviting and curiously spooky about them. Maybe the quietness and the stillness of it all give her enough pause to sit there in her mixed emotions of reverence and fear and disquiet. Whatever the case, she's almost willing to believe if she didn't try to be skeptical and question everything at the same time. (Then again, they've seen… stranger, haven't they?)

Kimiko takes Raimundo's hand as they walk in the rain across a bed of pine needles littering the forest floor. She's happy that he's here, that she isn't alone, that she has her best friend alongside her. Kimiko clings tight, flashing her phone light with her free hand. Kimiko decides to focus on that warmth Whatever happens, she's ready to face it head-on with her best friend Raimundo at her side.

Her eyes dart, looking for clues. She isn't sure what to look for, where to start. Irregular footprints, maybe? Residue? What would Bigfoot leave behind if he was real? Her mind goes a million kilometers a second, so she asks her companion to get another perspective.

'You see anything yet?'

All the Trappings, None of the Substance

Hey there, straight-edge Bigfoot. We're nearly done with Avengers Undercover, can you believe it? All signs point to "this wasn't worth it!", so let's just barrel ahead and get to today's review~

Here's the cover:

Oh geez, this cover. Good god. Like, I guess Zemo looks okay, though personally I'd be pointing my sword towards the big giant face I was jumping at, not up. Also, I think his gun holster is empty. Zemo's fine. No, it's the big giant face of Giant Man that's truly horrifying. Like, it's a little too realistic for such a cartoony expression. Weirdly thin lips, giant squared-off teeth, mouth open too wide… Is he about to eat Zemo? I haven't seen Attack on Titan, but I'm pretty sure an Attack on Titan scene is about to happen. Also, there's no background, so this fight is just taking place in a white void. All that aside, the other problem with this cover? None of the teens this comic is supposedly about are on it~

So we open with the Avengers showing up outside Bagalia. Like, is it less of an international incident if they park their Helicarrier outside of the borders and fly in on their own than if they flew the whole vehicle over the border? I don't know how that works. And I say "Avengers", but we got Captain Britain and Meggan, who are part of Braddock Academy, and Hyperion, who is part of Squadron Supreme, and… Well, I guess Spider-Woman is an Avenger, so you got me there. Anyways, this dramatic action scene is undercut by a farmer yelling at them that they scared his goats.

Meanwhile, actually in Bagalia, we pick up from last issue with Anachronism fighting the mind-controlled Cullen Bloodstone (in his monster form). He's pretty worn out, to the point that his ancient Celtic warrior spirit has stopped offering advice. But Anachronism doesn't need advice, he's got guts. And his plan is basically "just don't stop fighting". He makes a poor taunt at Hellstrom, which is the cue for Hazmat to show up and roast Hellstrom. Apparently demonic fire < radiation, in case you were wondering.

Nico also shows up and punches Monster!Cullen, knocking him over and disabling Hellstrom's control. She then engages with Hellstrom while Alex Wilder watches all smirkily. Rather than keep fighting, though, Anachronism decides to use his words to defeat Cullen. He taunts the Cullen within the monster that he basically fell for the first pretty face to flash him a smile, when the smile belonged to a goon calling himself "Son of Satan" and prancing about in latex. Surprisingly, this works, and Cullen regains control of himself, stealing a kiss from Anachronism as thanks. I guess that resolves their plotline!

Nico and Hellstrom are still slugging it out, and both of them know that while she's doing good, he's still got the advantage. And that's when the Avengers literally drop into the scene. In addition to the four I mentioned earlier, we also have Giant Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Tigra. Hazmat and Anachronism marvel that the adults actually showed up for once. Only took them three months, didn't it~? To even those odds, the Young Masters also all get up and join Hellstrom. And then you get the big clash where both sides run at each other screaming.

So there's a big fight going on, and Baron Zemo himself casually strolls onto the battlefield, Madame Masque in tow. He sidles up to Hellstrom and gives him the word, and they spring their trap. All the Young Masters light up and vanish in a puff of flame. Alex gestures, and the entrance the Avengers just used seals up, cutting of Bad Guy Central from the remaining SHIELD troops. And then the teleport completes. All the heroes are stuck down there (now they're literally Avengers under some kind of cover, the title finally works!), while the bad guys have just teleported to the surface. Masque shoots the SHIELD man on the bridge, and the villains now control the Helicarrier.

While the Young Masters handle Maria Hill and her riffraff outside, Zemo, his main goons, and Deathlocket take the bridge. Deathlocket hacks into the Helicarrier's systems, giving them control, and apparently having no qualms about doing so. While they fly off to go make war or whatever Zemo's plan is, the comic ends by revealing Cammi is also on the Helicarrier somehow. And the caption boxes are all like "Oh, did you think she wouldn't escape jail? Nope, here she is!" You know, just in case you couldn't tell how rushed this ending is.

I will be fair to this comic. The stuff with Anachronism beating Monster!Cullen by just talking to him was actually very good. That stuff's on point. The rest of the stuff is... maybe not the worst, but not great either. Middling at most. I think really the worst part (other than the cover, because good god, I'm still not over that) is just the very last panel, where they deus ex machina in Cammi and then hang a lampshade on it with the caption boxes. And yes, I get the fact that they were being cancelled and didn't have a lot of time or comic to wrap things up, so what else could they do? Answer: anything other than this~

Story (Chapter 1 Part 3)

You feel a little groggy at first, but you get over it quickly... You open your eyes.

Candyland, it's been a long time.

You spot your friends closeby.

So this is the land of dreams! It's a foodie's paradise!

You haven't seen anything yet, Ryota. They have stations were you can make your own sweets.

Really? I should give that a try. What about you, Shiro? I heard you made wonderful sweets last Valentines.

...

Let's save that for later. We should take a look around here.

Maria: Alright.

Shiro: (happy and whispering) Thank you.

Hey, did anyone see where Mr. Boogeyman and the others went?

You're right. Weren't they just with us?

Look out! Here I come!

Everyone: Holy shoot!

Ha ha ha ha ha! I am sorry. I couldn't resist.

Y- You idiot! You scared me half to death! What kind of teacher are you?!

Boogeyman: (still laughing) An elementary school teacher.

Kenta: No doubt about that.

Now that we're all here, shall we get started. (takes out his staff) Since we're all in a virtual world, the App is pretty much already open. So we can do the spell right here and now.

I'm ready, Bigfoot.

Lupin: And me. And the rest of us.

Bigfoot: Then let's begin.

Role of the Wanderer, Rule of Guidance, engrave mine name, Bigfoot of the Snowy Mountain Tribe, unto thee.

Begin my spell!

Like before, Bigfoot strikes his staff on the ground and Wakan Tanka Infinity is wrapped in a glowing green cocoon. After a short time, the cocoon vanishes... and Wakan Tanka emerges.

(gasping a bit) Wow, it's so good to be this form again. I almost forgot what it's like.

Lupin: (very happy) Same here.

Shiro: It's so good we could be here today.

And what a day it'll be since it'll be forever to us in this world. So, what do you guys wanna do first?

Boogeyman: I suggest fighting a dragon in the forest. Or maybe swimming with the merfolk.

Lupin: I think just a nice picnic in the valley should be fine.

???: Just a picnic? Now that's not very exciting.

You are all shocked by some mysterious intruders that suddenly appear.

We're in a world of magic and wonder where aging practically doesn't exist. You have to do something way more spicy.

Maria: (upset) Hakumen?! What are you doing here?

Hakumen: Oh, just a little game for your little birthday party.

I'm sorry, Itzamna, Quetzalcoatl. Though we are from El Dorado, my loyalty is first and foremost to Lady Hakumen. The same to you, Lady Maria. Men, onward!

Many guards started marching through the gingerbread village and began taking sweets and treats from the visitors saying that if they want them, they either have to pay up or swear loyalty to Hakumen.

Boogeyman: This doesn't look good. If this keeps up, there's no telling what will happen. We need to put a stop to this before things get out of hand.

Alp: You put so much work into this world, Boogeyman. We can't let the Tycoons ruin it. I'm in.

Bigfoot: I'll lend a hand, too.

Lupin: And me.

Wakan Tanka: (laughing) That's My Lupin. Always wanting to help... Alright, I'll fight, too. Not a bad way to show everyone that even in this form, I still got it.

Lupin: I'm so happy we can fight side-by-side again.

Wakan Tanka: Then let's do it!

Kick-Off!!

The battle begins.

To be continued...

Two in One

For the GTA Online video

Looks really cool that my P-Pal just got the Alien costume. And it be really cool for Shadow and Spot to wear together and see if they can scare the Frosty Star Crew, but then it would fail cause then the Astroblast crew would offer them a Smoothie instead. But with the Bigfoot costume however might work. Cause I have seen a bunch of Cartoons that talked about Bigfoot. I only remember it in the Simpsons, I remember it happened in Mr. Pickles. I bet Shadow and Spot might try out the Bigfoot costumes as well. Maybe Lisa and Vanilla would be surprised to see them dress like that. Even if Lisa and Vanilla had to dress up like a Deer and eat some pie together. Hey maybe Maxwell can dress up as Bigfoot as well. Except Emme since I know she is a deer after all. But she can still make Maxwell some pie.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: That be a really cool idea like how it happened in the show.

Lisa 😺❤️⚡: Yeah I thought that idea can be okay. Unlike how in the Simpsons when Homer got to be Bigfoot when the Simpsons family went on vacations in the woods.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: Mmhmm. But with Mr. Pickles however can be different. Unless we wouldn't do anything wrong with that dog unless he goes after a Cartoon Network character.

Lisa 😺❤️⚡: Yeah. But I'm not sure if Maxwell or Brown would like the sound of Mr. Pickles from all of his evil deeds he's done. Not even our son.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: I know what you mean, Lisa.

For the On this Day Too Much Question Drawing

It's nice to have Chowder and Flapjack talk to Pocoyo about how he's adding new things to his show. Which's nice in Modern Pocoyo, they add like new characters and new activities and other stuff he's gonna do. Plus this whole pic reminds me of the time I was on my Discord a few days ago and got to be at the Sonic Revolution Meet and Greet event where I got to talk with some of the professional Voice actors or actresses and even some YouTubers. Normally I haven't got picked a couple of times, but I have once when I spoke with Emuemi and Trey when I spoke to them about their content and how they brought some classic voice actors from past Sonic games. And it was amazing I got to talk with her and Trey on Discord. And I hope next year I bet I can enjoy going to the Revolutions and conventions anytime I get the chance. And maybe this convention and Discord events might give me an idea. If I ever want to draw Shadow, Lisa, Spot, Riya, Vanilla, Maxwell and Emme went to a convention. Which that can be really cool. 😁

Submitted by JM on Lon Strickler’s blog, Phantoms and Monsters, Tuesday, July 3, 2018, 16:09.

I live near Pevely, Missouri, not far from the Mississippi River. This incident took place on June 30, 2018 about 1 AM my time. I was having trouble sleeping since it was very warm and I was restless. I went outside onto the back porch to smoke and saw a small yellow light in the sky in front of me. I didn't think much of it but it was getting closer. I moved a bit to my left in order to get a better look and it suddenly stopped. I stood still and continued watching it. About a minute later, I noticed two more lights approaching from the same direction. There was now a large dim yellow light and two smaller bright lights, one was white and the other was orange. The orange light then flashed brightly and then there was a loud 'bang' a second later. The white light disappeared, but the orange light started to come towards me while the dim yellow light seemed to observe what was going on from a distance.

I was becoming more curious and attempted to signal it to come closer, but it stopped and started to back away until it disappeared. I was mesmerized by this activity and continued to observe. The orange light then reappeared, accompanied by the white light. The lights were dancing around the sky, going in all different directions.

I stood there, lit another cigarette and watched the lights for about 15 minutes. Then I heard a distinct 'growling' sound coming from the woods behind the house. I could literally hear this thing walking through the brush, cracking limbs as it moved closer. It was growling and snarling. As it moved closer to me, I could see white orbs of various sizes flying throughout the woods. Then the growling and footfalls stopped. After a few seconds, I heard what sounded like someone was calling my name from a distance. There was another call coming another direction as well. I was beginning to get scared, but I wanted to know what this was. Then suddenly a load roar emanated from the edge of the woods. It was so terrifying that also lost the use of my legs. I quickly gathered myself and ran into the house and locked the door. I peeked out the kitchen window and attempted to take photos of the orbs, but the phone went dead. I had just charged the damn thing! I didn't hear anymore roars or sounds, and the orbs soon disappeared.

The next day, July 1st, I called my neighbor who lives down the road on a small farm. I asked her if she had heard or seen anything the previous night. She replied by telling me that something got into her barn and killed 2 turkeys, but she never heard or saw anything. I asked her if I could come over and look around, and she agreed. As I looked around the barn I didn't see anything unusual, but her livestock was very skittish. Her dogs and cat never came outside and were hunkered down in the barn.

I don't know what killed the turkeys, but I have no doubt it was the same thing in the woods behind my house. I later walked through the woods and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but there was what I would call an electric or static charge that affected me has I walked around. It actually gave me a bad headache.

I decided to contact you in regards to this experience because I haven't felt well since then. I'm very weak and have trouble keeping my food down. If it gets worse, I may need to go to the doctor. Have you heard or read any similar situations like this? My brother believes that this was a Bigfoot, but it still doesn't explain the lights, the orbs, the voices and how I feel. Thanks for reading.

🎃SpookTober 31 Days Prompts🎃:

Day 25: Cryptid👽

Elton Pope x GN!Reader x Hiromu Takahashi. Poly!Relationship. Both boys are big fans of aliens and cryptids. Fluff. SpookTober Prompt: Cryptid👽

●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●☆●

☆●~Cryptid Theories~●☆

Your two boyfriends are literally the biggest cryptid believers ever!

You've been in a poly relationship with Elton Pope and Hiromu Takahashi for 3 years now. October was a favourite month of the three of you. It was a time for spooks and scares and superstitions. And when it came to such superstitions or beliefs, you had the biggest believers in cryptids as boyfriends!

Oh yeah, anything they hear about a mysterious monster in Loch Ness or strange sightings of a large hairy creature in America or strange lights in the skies at night, Elton and Hiromu are instantly hooked. Though they listen to the logical side of things explained by experts in TV shows, the two of them still hold fast to the belief that such creatures exist.

"We don't know how deep Loch Ness could be! There could be underwater caverns that we haven't explored in those waters!" Elton would protest.

"How do we know the strange lights in the sky are just stars? They could extraterrestrial saucers! Stars don't move in that pattern!" Hiromu would declare.

You would smile and shake your head, chuckling as you watched your two dorky but adorable boyfriends get into a heated debate with an expert on the TV, who couldn't actually hear them.

"How does he think he knows it better? There are some things in this world that can't be easily explained" Remarked Hiromu, crossing his arms with a huff.

"Yeah, like ghosts and uh what's that underground place called? You said it one time, something about giants in the center of the Earth or something?" Asked Elton.

"Argatha" Replied Hiromu.

"Yeah that's it!" Smiled Elton.

"I read it in the Monthly Mu. And I believe so, there's giants living under our feet. They used to live above like us but eventually moved underground" Hiromu Explained as Elton listened intently.

You smiled from your comfy spot, wondering how long the two would continue their debate though it was pretty entertaining at times, you could see both Hiromu and Elton were just passionate about their shared interest in cryptids and would happily discuss the topic for hours if they must to get their point across to someone.

You watched as the expert guy came back on and your two boyfriends turned to the TV screen as he appeared.

"Oh, what those smarty pants have to say this time?" Asked Elton, making all of you chuckle. You listened as the expert explained how such sightings of big foot could be easily explained.

"It's a bear obviously" Concluded the expert and that sparked an outrage from the two boys who immediately launched into their rambles.

"How can a bear walk on two feet like that in the video! Bears don't have arms like that and the face doesn't look like a bear!" Cried Hiromu angrily.

"It looks more ape like, nothing like a bear! And how do you explain the big footprint? That's definitely not from a bear!" Protested Elton livid.

"Well Mr. Expert, I conclude that to me, it's Bigfoot. Obviously!" Huffed Hiromu, irradiation in his voice and body language.

"Yeah!" Agreed Elton.

"Y/N, you've seen the video of Bigfoot. Does that look like a bear to you?" Asked Hiromu. You looked up from your book to see Hiromu and Elton staring at you intensely, awaiting your answer.

"No. Definitely not a bear. Like Elton said, it's more like an ape" You Replied.

"So what do you think Bigfoot really is?" Asked Elton.

"Well it's not a bear for sure. To me, I think Bigfoot could be some sort of ape species closely related to us in some way. Or just some new species of animal we haven't discovered, maybe Bigfoot could America's first primate like creature" You Explained, hoping your theory didn't upset them.

Instead, Hiromu and Elton looked at you with awe. They were impressed it seems.

"That is honestly the best and good theory I've heard" Remarked Hiromu smiling.

"Yeah, that's a really good theory Y/N" Smiled Elton. You smiled back at your boys in return, glad they seemed amazed by your theory.

"Do you have more theories of your own that you'd like to share with us?" Asked Hiromu hopefully.

You chuckled and closed your book, happy to join in and oblige their hungry minds.

"Sure if you guys are up to it" You Replied smiling. The boys gathered around together with you excitedly.

"Of course! Let's hear it!" Cheered Elton.

You smiled and happily joined them in their discussion of cryptids, inputting some theories of your own and they doing the same. It was a healthy and fun discussion and you honestly couldn't wait to discuss more with your nerdy boyfriends again!

Rejected Bad: The Unicorn Sting

The following is a rejected script from an early season of Breaking Bad.

INT. DEA OFFICE - DAY

Hank SCHRAEDER sits at his desk, frustrated. Jim and Linda, two fellow DEA agents, approach him.

HANK:  (annoyed)  I can't believe they assigned us to the Bigfoot cryptid division, looking for a rival gang in the middle of the desert. What were they thinking?

JIM:  (smiling)  Come on, Hank. It's an adventure! Just think about the thrill of the hunt.

Linda:  (grinning)  And who knows, maybe these gangsters will underestimate our brilliance.

HANK:  (sighs)  All I'm saying is, my pink unicorn cosplay would've made more sense. A group of people dressing up as Bigfoot in the desert? It just doesn't fit.

JIM:  (mocking)  Yeah, Hank, because a flock of pink unicorns in the desert is so inconspicuous.

HANK:  (defiant)  Hey, my pink unicorn costume is badass. Anyway, let's just get on with it. We need to find these guys fast.

EXT. DESERT - DAY

Hank, Jim, and Linda trek through the vast desert terrain. They scan their surroundings, searching for any signs of the rival gang.

HANK:  (tired)  Three hours, and we haven't seen a damn thing. Can we please switch to the freakin unicorns?

JIM:  (reluctant)  Alright, alright. Pink unicorns it is. But keep in mind, this better pay off.

The team hurriedly changes into vibrant pink unicorn costumes while still maintaining their professionalism.

EXT. DESERT - DAY (LATER)

The trio, now dressed as pink unicorns, continue their search. Suddenly, they notice something peculiar in the distance - a small group of people in a hidden desert den.

HANK:  (excited)  Guys, look! Something's going on over there!

They approach the den, careful not to reveal their intentions. They eavesdrop on a conversation amongst meth groupies.

METH GROUPY 1:  (timid)  Did you hear something? It sounded like... unicorns?

METH GROUPY 2:  (laughing)  Yeah, right! That's ridiculous. Must be the heat playing tricks on you.

Hank, Jim, and Linda smile at each other, knowing they've discovered their suspects.

HANK:  (to his team)  Alright, Linda, you flank from the left. Jim, go right. I'll cover the entrance.

They quickly surround the den, preparing for the takedown.

HANK (CONT'D):  (politely but firmly)  DEA! You're all under arrest for involvement in drug-related activities. Hands where I can see them!

The meth groupies freeze, wide-eyed, as their hidden secrets are exposed.

METH GROUPY 3:  (stammering)  B-but how did you find us? We were so careful!

Linda:  (smiling)  Well, it seems our little unicorn disguise worked wonders.

With the situation under control, Hank, Jim, and Linda efficiently collar the suspects, securing the groupies needed for execution.

FADE OUT.

Something in the Sky

On the subject of cryptids, I have always been and remain agnostic. My attitude is that stories are great and they're fun to hear, but until I see the thing... in the wild... with my own eyes, all these creatures are are stories. Until they walk right up to me from the woods, Bigfoot, Mothman, the chupacabra and all the haints and boogers that go bump in the night are just urban legends. (Wow! I need to take a break from Old Gods of Appalachia.)

Well, my dear strangelings, as fate and Charles Fort would have it, it turns out that I have actually seen a cryptid... or cryptoid? I'll get into the debate in a bit, but there doesn't seem to be any agreement on what category this critter falls into. Due to the uncertainty, there isn't much in the way of good and well researched information. Even the photographic evidence (as you can see above) doesn't give us a whole lot to go on.

So, what is this squiggle in the sky? I was asking myself the same question when I came across it back in the twenty-teens. The name given to it is "sky serpent". Now, while I saw a total of twelve of these things almost a decade ago, I just learned that they're a thing last week.

"Twelve?" Yes, twelve... four groups of three over a period of about twenty minutes. My guess is it was possibly a migration. They were moving in a southern direction over the city of Boston in late summer or early fall. I only saw them because I looked up while stretching a kink out of my neck. Were it not for that... knot... I would have missed them entirely. City people don't look up, especially in Boston. We keep our eyes down and mind our business.

I wasn't the only one who saw them. The one friend who always seems to be with me when weird shit happens was there. Because we were both looking up and watching these things, a few other people looked to see what had us mesmerized, then a few more. Pretty soon, there were a couple dozen people just watching this sky parade.

The photos aren't mine, but they illustrate the problem of getting photos of aerial phenomena. Unless you have professional equipment and you KNOW it's going to be there, photos will always be crappy. Don't believe me? Take a picture of the moon with your phone. Even the "good" ones I have are mostly lens flare.

Having said that, I mentioned the words... THE words at the root of the debate. Are sky serpents creatures or crafts? Ufologists say they're the former and crypto zoologists say they're the latter. (Of course, I would find the critter that defies classification.) Yes, they move through the sky, but they seem to be organic. They move like snakes or eels. I may not know much about UAP, but I haven't seen anything in the historical record describing extraterrestrials getting out of or off of one of these. (Perhaps Mr. Hanks will find something and correct me.)

What I have seen in the scant literature on the topic of "sky serpents" appears to draw comparisons with the traditional depiction of dragons in Chinese and Japanese art. No, I am not saying dragons are real, but if ancient cultures had seen these sky serpents, I can see how that would give rise to myths about dragons. Had my mother been with me, that is precisely what her conclusion would have been.

Biological entity or extraterrestrial craft, my big questions are: Where are they coming from? Where do they go? Why have we not seen one on the ground?

Obviously, I have no answers. No one does because the people who typically study this kind of thing aren't interested. I've only seen them myself the one time. I did see a video in a Facebook group I belong to. One of the members got footage at about 30,000 feet while on a flight... assuming it's not doctored. That's how I became aware that those weird flying whatevers I saw were a known phenomenon.

Has my position on cryptids changed? Nope! Bigfoot is still gonna have to sit down next to me and ask for a cigarette. Mothman is going to have to read my tarot cards. That said, if the pros don't want to invest the time and energy into getting something close to answers about these "sky serpents" then maybe I finally a cryptid to hunt.

1, 4, 14, 46

1. who is/are your comfort character(s)?

I guess I'm not entirely sure what a "comfort character" entails. Is it just like... a character I think about to comfort myself? Because if so, it's my ocs :3 I've also heard it's a character you really heavily relate to, and if that's the definition we're going with... idk if I really have any! I can't think of a lot of characters that are really Me Vibes. Maybe Mabel Pines?

4. which cryptid being do you believe in?

I... don't believe in any cryptids.... I mean, I believe Bigfoot can do whatever he wants and achieve all his dreams, but I don't believe he's like... REAL. The world is full of mysteries and beauty, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's still some weird creatures out there that we haven't seen officially. My manager at my last job was a very strong Bigfoot believer, so I've heard some of the more convincing arguments in favor of Bigfoot being real, but I can't say I found them convincing enough to ignore how very improbable it is.

14. do you love the smell of earth after it rains?

yea i think its alright

46. favorite holiday film?

hmmmmm well to be honest im not really a person who does a lot of stuff for the holidays, so there's not any movies i have a lot of attachment to because of family traditions. My mom and aunt watch Elf every year, but I don't... really like Elf that much.... My dad used to take us to see A Christmas Carol every year at the Gutherie, but that was a play, not a film. Like, I know they made films OF A Christmas Carol, but that's not what I watched! We exclusively watched the stage production, because we, as a family, are pretentious. (or, classy and artsy, if youre biased in our favor). I'd love to be a bitch that's super invested in Halloween, but I think it's just pretty alright, and I don't really like horror movies that much (I have a very weak stomach, and besides horror, I'm pretty sure the only iconic Halloween movies are like... DCOMs?? idk i'm not that invested in those either, and I'm over Tim Burton movies generally). What other holidays are there even films for? I was in the Onceler fandom but I thought The Lorax film itself was just okay... so that's all the Earth Day movies I can think of... I guess we'll just have to say that I liked all the holiday episodes of Community, especially the one that was also a musical episode

I really think Splinter might wind up killing the clumsy idiot one day. Sure he's gotten a bit better since hanging around us and joining in on training drills but how that guy gets around with out falling over his own huge feet? hmm maybe he's related to Bigfoot, could explain why he aint used to them." He pauses for a moment "maybe I should change it to big foot?"

- what your muse’s picture is in mine’s phone

[image description ] Casey turned to face the camera holding up one of the comics in the shop Casey claimed to have anything one could need if you couldn't find it in the city it's self.

"Casey seems to always know a guy to help with what we need, kind of surprised he don't got more friends? Sounds like he knows a lot of people after all and yeah sure Casey annoying yeah I know I think someone is annoying thats a pretty big feat on it's own! But still annoying or not how can't you like the guy? I wouldn't claim were close nah, but I like when he's around just seems right. He's family after all. With or not with Raph too, he's just another big brother to me."

- what your muse’s ringtone is in mine’s phone

".. and this is the moment I decide, I don't care about anything else tonight .."

I couldn't take it anymore. Every single day just keeps going by, some going faster than others. Not in a fast like “woohoo!! almost the weekend!!” Fast, but more like "Alright I have to wake up go do the dishes, make sure that I go to work, or try looking for a job otherwise I'm gonna get kicked out by the time I'm 18." There's nothing to report. I haven't been able to go to the shops for days… The Caretakers took away my book. they said that it was to make sure that it was more fair to the other children because they couldn't just let somebody walk around with one nice thing. I mean, of course they couldn't. But then again, I actually didn't spend my money like the other dumbasses. I didn't just go out looking to get beer from some random homeless man. Stupid fucking morons.. and you know what I got? A luxury for once just like this damn phone but you know? "only one luxury at A TIME"

..In the book there were short stories and some poems/experts that came from my mind. I mean I always did like novels so you know.. it couldn't hurt to try and make my own stories. It felt like making fan fiction of people  that didn't exist. Creation without meaning. Anyway the Caretakers took my book. Guess it looked too pretty.. and too many of the other children.. they were lookin- no, They were gawking at it. Of course they felt envious, and yes I still had my pen. I mean, that's the one thing I *did* buy. Well I bet that lady from the shop feels stupid now. ..But at the same time I feel bad. Well.. I did something stupid last night. I snuck out and I might have seen something.. that..  I shouldn't have.



 I went to look for the book, I just wanted it back so that my work and everything I had written down wouldn't make me look like a crazy person. Like- to the Caretakers, I'm mostly just sitting in a corner, writing or reading something. But I I always go up to the roof, which is where I usually spend my nights. Until one of the caretakers either wakes up and sees someone on the rooftop, or somebody just puts on something up there or, if it's raining l. Doesn't really matter If I'm  going to get in trouble for it, I might as well have some fun.



 ..I always wondered why we weren't allowed to go out in the woods. There was a big fence.. not around the home, but.. around the wider part of town..  Children said that they kept seeing monsters and fairies and random shit around there, but I never believed them.. anyway, I saw something, and It wasn't like I'd seen bigfoot, I'm not crazy. It was probably some kind of Firefly or something. But.. I saw a bunch of glowing splattered purple light. It confuses me.. Nevertheless, I still went back from my book, of course the Caretakers never really thought about where to put it. They always thought of me as just stupid, I guess.. Maybe they saw me more like a loner who would rather sit down read than hang out with your children. I don't think they know that I'm the one that gets up to the rooftop... I saw where they placed the book in a small box that's always locked. I tried to find the key, and it was behind some flower pot, so.. I just went to grab it. Then I opened the box, and inside were all the recent things that had gotten taken away. Toys, phones, books, and.. my book. I swiftly got it and went back out to the roof, then back to my bed. Surprisingly, one saw me, but I did almost get caught by another child. That's all I have to report. I hope to say something better tomorrow, now that my book is back.

4 and 23?

4. mythical creature you think/believe is real?

None and all? I second your answer to this question! Just because we haven't seen any mythical creatures doesn't mean they aren't real. but I'm also not out there hunting for bigfoot lol.

23. do you wear jewelry?

I always wear a necklace with my initial on it. It was a gift from my aunt for my 16th birthday and she has since passed away. It's a way of remembering her and keeping her with me. I recently got a puzzle ring while in Florence and I wear that quite a bit (it's fun to play with). I do have my ears pierces and will wear earrings or cute fashion necklaces when an outfit calls for it.

weirdly specific and unrelated asks to know someone well -> still accepting

[bookwyrminspiration]

The only thing I remember from Exile is my friend borrowing it from me and never giving it back in the fifth grade.

oh a vibe. In 9th grade I lent my copy of City of Bones to a friend but then a few weeks later everything went into lockdown and I haven't seen the book since. it is hers now.

But it's fine. I haven't read the series in a long time and don't actually need it back, I just liked having the full set. I actually bought a replacement like a month ago! Yes it took me that long. But now I have the entire TMI series on my shelf again! I'm missing a lot of the other shadowhunter books but eh. I'll get around to it eventually!

but in terms of Exile, I've read it so many times that the events are essentially etched into my memory. But also I'd probably be shocked to read back through it and be missing several little details. However, I will never forget the vague annoyance as I started reading it the first time

I just thought it was like a standalone or the first book in a series and I didn't usually look into the books I grabbed off the library shelves and I hadn't figured out that I could look at the back to see if it said "Praise for [previous books]" or had literal pictures of the other books' covers

so I just sat there reading like damn this is a confusing book. Who are all these people? Bigfoot? but then I got to the "Almost a year had passed since she'd discovered she was an elf and moved to the lost cities, but she still slipped sometimes and sounded like a human" on the first page and went Something Is Missing Here. Only then did I actually look into it and discover it was a four (at the time) book series and I had book 2.

ngl this is tempting me to push up a kotlc reread on my tbr. I haven't actually constructed the tbr but it's like partially formed mentally and I'm vibing! Now that I have an inventory of all the books I own I can figure out which ones I've read and haven't read and create a systematic approach!!
