[emeritus-fuckers]

can you tell us more about the dynamics between the four of you? your antics are funny from what we get to see.

we are four animals. a rat, a cat, a bat and a brit.

in general, nyx doesn't really get on our discord as often as me, zenny and death, because nyx's job is very time consuming. you could compare nyx to russel in early stages of gorillaz (fuck i miss early gorillaz), just sorta... being there.

as for me, jasper and death... i'll let screenshots do the talking.

the last one is a quote of me and zenith on call. there's also a lot of slurs and telling people to kill themselves. to clarify, we do not support sending that to people. we're all very good friends and every "kill yourself" we send to each other is jokes and good fun. the slurs, too. while i picked some of the more fun bits, there's also a lot of technicalities and general communication going on. we're all fine with all the shit we say - nosferatu

Patchwork: Chapter 5 - Waltzing

An Explorers of Sky au following the Hero is Darkrai theory, but after the events at Temporal Tower Darkrai returns to Treasure Town in an effort to prevent his inevitable corruption. Read Previous Chapter Here!

Here comes the boi~

//

Jasper was running again. Across endless plains, flowing grasses grabbing at his feet, trying to catch him. Sun bearing down, its heat coursing through his veins. The ground was uneven, and Jasper's feet kept slipping. It was like everything was trying to bring him to a crashing halt, all for the lion which chased him. Yet, even as he fell, Jasper knew the beast wouldn't catch him; not tonight.

Jolting awake, Jasper's eyes snapped open. They were at the Shaymin village. By the time they descended the mountain yesterday, night was falling, and they were exhausted. Thankfully, the Shaymin had several huts set apart for visitors. It was plain, but it had beds, four walls and a roof. Sometimes, that's all you can ask for.

A strange noise reached Jasper's ears. His brows furrowed and he scanned the room carefully. Buia was sound asleep in a bed beside him, curled backwards on herself. How she slept like that, Jasper would never know.

The noise came again, a pained groaning from across the room. It was coming from Patch. Seems like Jasper wasn't the only one fighting nightmares. The Darkrai was tossing about, hands clenched. Patch grunted and muttered in his sleep. Jasper managed to pick out a few words.

"Back. Come back."

Jasper walked from the hut, leaving Patch to his nightmares.

Outside, the morning sun was shimmering on the horizon. It was pink and orange and gold, pouring out across the land. The grass underfoot was wet with dew and a morning mist hung in the air.

Jasper stretched his tired muscles, aching all over. He watched the sunrise. By now, he'd seen it countless times, but it always made his heart lurch. Something deep in him worried that one day it just wouldn’t come back. Perhaps his lost memories of the dark future still pulled at him.

Lost in thought, Jasper didn't notice Patch floating beside him. The Darkrai was eerily silent, and he offered no greetings. Together, they watched the sunrise.

Eventually, Buia woke and joined them noisily, like a brick smashing through glass. Though, Jasper wasn't thrown off. He smiled at the sight of his partner. Patch couldn't help but wonder at the fondness between the pair. That they were so close is a good thing, right?

After a hearty breakfast, the trio said their goodbyes to the village and returned to Treasure Town. The flight back was much more relaxed. Thankfully, Jasper drifted on the winds, Buia hanging from his talons, instead of racing away. Patch flew alongside them, chatting with Buia.

As the sun reached its zenith, Treasure Town came into view, and they descended upon their home. They landed by the crossroad and Buia stretched noisily.

"Dang, that was a long flight!"

"You're telling me," grumbled Jasper, flexing his cramping talons.

Patch smoothed down the scarf on his arm; it had nearly blown away once or twice on the flight. "So, what now?"

Buia headed for town. "I wanna swing by home, real quick. After, maybe we can take a job nearby?"

Treasure Town was lively that day. Everyone was out and about, enjoying the beautiful weather. They had hardly a care in the world. Clearly, they were unaware of just who had returned to town that morning.

Passing down the main street, Buia called greetings and waved to several friends, but as they left town and came to Sharpedo Bluff, her enthusiasm fell. There, standing by the edge of the cliff, arms folded and staring out over the sea, was Dusknoir. His back was wide open.

Buia charged, yelling and leaping. Dusknoir turned, a curious expression on his face. Buia's feet slammed into his gut, pushing him off the cliff and... nothing happened.

Dusknoir clutched at his stomach, groaning. He hovered in the open air.

Buia glared. "You were supposed to fall."

Sucking in air, Dusknoir pulled himself upright and moved back onto land. "Sorry to disappoint. Did Celebi and Forrest not explain my change of heart?""

Buia crossed her arms. "They did. I still wanna beat you up, though."

"Understandable. Perhaps we could spar sometime?"

"I'm free this afternoon."

Dusknoir nodded. "Jasper, what of you? Do you also wish to, how do the kids say, throw hands?"

Jasper was frozen. The words were caught in his throat, and when he forced them out, they were too weak to hear. "N-no," he repeated, firmer this time.

Dusknoir nodded. "Then, I shall make amends a different way. Also, regardless of your team's feelings for me, I must thank you for looking after my son."

Buia's jaw dropped. "Huh?"

Dusknoir spread his arms wide. "Patch, my boy, it is good to see you again."

At this moment, Buia went ballistic. She screamed words I am unable to repeat here. So, just use your imagination. If you learned you'd taken in the son of your arch enemy, how would you feel?

Of course, Buia didn't yet know, the son of her arch enemy had been around much longer than Patch had. Patch and Jasper being the same person means Jasper is Dusknoir’s son, whether he remembers it or not. Dusknoir had sworn the others to secrecy, at least until Dusknoir could talk to Patch.

A human boy brought to the Pokemon world. After an incident turned him into Darkrai, he caused the planet's paralysis and forced Dusknoir to act upon the primal instinct to survive. Not knowing this, a younger version of Patch, that is, Jasper, met Forrest and Celebi, and set out to restore the future. Thereby resulting in the story, you know and love.

Since being thwarted by his past self, Patch had taken a new name and come to Treasure Town. He was determined to prevent Jasper's inevitable corruption, and transformation into Darkrai. If Patch failed, it may begin a cycle of planetary paralysis, and pain, that would never end.

Patch had screwed up the first time around. He wouldn't let Jasper make the same mistakes. Then, when all this was done, Celebi would destroy Patch, and things would be as they should. This explanation may seem redundant, but hey, you’re not the narrator, so back off!

Patch stood deathly still, staring at his surrogate father. "How did you find me?"

Dusknoir folded his hands. "A mutual friend."

Celebi. That snitch! When Patch got his hands on her, he would-

"Wait, wait, wait!" Buia yelled, waving her paws wildly. "Time out! Patch is your son?"

Dusknoir nodded.

"Then, everything you did was because you didn't want Patch to disappear?"

Dusknoir stared directly at Patch and nodded again. It wasn't the truth, but it made Dusknoir feel better to believe it.

Buia's arms fell, and she moved to stand beside Jasper, leaning against him. "I guess... I can understand that."

Dusknoir smiled weakly at Buia. "I am truly sorry for everything."

Jasper's feathers stood on end, and he stalked towards the old ghost. "For everything? For deceiving us? For trying to kill us? FOR PRETENDING TO CARE?!"

Something stabbed at Jasper's heart, and he couldn't keep the disgust from his face. His memories robbed from him; Jasper didn't know that Dusknoir was once his beloved father. Didn't know the ghost had been robbed of free will. Didn't know that Dusknoir really did care.

"Get lost. Take your apologies with you." Jasper made for the stairs, disappearing inside the bluff.

Tears sprung to Buia's eyes. She glanced at Patch and Dusknoir, scoffing. "You two should go. I'll come find you later.” Buia raced after her partner.

Inside the bluff, Jasper was pacing, his eyes narrowed dangerously. He muttered under his breath. Buia's heart broke at the sight. In all their time together, she had never seen him like this. "Jay?"

"He really thinks he can come waltzing back? Like nothing happened! I don't care how good his reasons were! If he wants to be happy, he can do it away from us."

"Jasper."

He threw his wings in the air. "He came back for Patch, right? Not us? Good! They can both leave and things can go back to how they were!"

Buia knelt in front of Jasper, holding his wings gently. "Hey, hey, look at me. It's okay. We're okay. He's not gonna hurt us again."

Jasper trembled, tears stinging his eyes. "S-sorry. I'm sorry." Breaking free of her grip, he turned away, wiping at his eyes. "Sorry. Just, give me a moment." He coughed to clear his throat, but it couldn't hide his broken sobs.

Buia didn't know what to do. Not in the Dark Future. Not against Primal Dialga: Buia had never seen Jasper like this. She reached for him, but when her paw landed on his back, Jasper flinched away. She sat, helplessly watching her partner cry, while he pretended she wasn't there.

Meanwhile, Patch and Dusknoir had cut across the waves, drifting over to the beach. Patch grabbed a stick and drew idly in the sand.

"So, have you been well?"

Patch quirked a brow. "Really? That's where you want to start?"

Sighing, Dusknoir dropped slowly, to rest upon the sand. "What would you like me to say?"

Patch shrugged and dropped his stick. "I don't know." Moving to sit beside his dad, Patch stared out at the horizon. "Celebi said you were looking for me in the future. What were you gonna say if you found me there?"

"I'm sorry."

Patch's head whipped around to stare at Dusknoir in disbelief. "What?"

"I wanted to tell you I'm sorry. That you're still my son. And I love you."

Patch's gaze returned to the horizon. "My dad is dead."

Dusknoir nodded. "That may be so, but you are my son."

"Jasper is your son."

"Are you not Jasper?"

"No. Not anymore."

Standing, Dusknoir rubbed at his chin and floated in a slow circle around the Darkrai. "Strange. You look like Jasper."

"I'm literally a different species."

"You sound like my boy. Talk like him, too. Are you sure you're not my son?"

Patch nearly snapped a response, but Dusknoir interrupted. "Don't answer yet! Take some time to think it over. Then, let me know. In the meantime, could I ask for a hug?"

Patch's voice caught in his throat, so he pushed himself to his feet and wrapped his arms around Dusknoir's shoulders. Dusknoir laughed and held him tight.

The Dusknoir from Patch's time was long gone. This Dusknoir hadn't even recognised Patch when he first appeared. Yet, Patch knew these arms. This embrace; soft, strong, safe. Yes, Patch had forgotten after so long, but he knew these arms, knew this feeling. Patch's breath rattled in his chest and he tightened his grip.

Dusknoir smiled. "I've missed you terribly."

Ok, Eclipse day is over, did your OCs see the eclipse, and how did they react if they did?

Thank you!

Rae: Cancelled all her foreign-languages classes so her students could enjoy the eclipse with her (she knows it's only a few minutes and they could have just stepped outside and then gone back in for class, but the kids could use a break anyway), and she and Warren go up to the roof to watch it themselves.

Robin: Missed it - didn't realize what day it fell on, and was in the middle of an opera rehearsal at the time

Madison: Hiked up to Lake Zenith with Alex and her sisters to see it. She saw an eclipse as a kid, her family traveled to see it, but it's still impressive this time around.

Ophelia: Tried to see it, but it was cloudy in NYC that day and she missed it.

Gia: Didn't plan on leaving the house, but Kate showed up with two sets of eclipse glasses and dragged her up to the roof of her building to watch it together (she protests at first but secretly loves it)

Jasper: Drove out with Kyle to the middle of the swamp somewhere so they could watch it in peace, managed to catch a partial eclipse but not total coverage.

Kestrel: Nope, was out on a mission for the Knights and was on a completely different continent at the time

Katherine: Went to go see it, drew it, took pictures, and showed those pictures to everyone at the museum. Ahk was briefly worried about Apophis eating the sun, and Larry had to explain the concept of an eclipse to him.

Quinn: Didn't really bother, doesn't really see the appeal. Kinda laughed at the other Ghosts all staring aimlessly at the sky, sweating their asses off, trying to get a glimpse of it. They're in the wrong part of the country anyway.

Eris: Rick wanted to see it, so they took a trip up to the path of totality, but Eris has seen dozens of eclipses in their life and just doesn't get particularly amazed by it anymore. They did snag a glimpse or two, sans-eclipse glasses, and temporarily blinded himself until his healing factor fixed his corneas.

Nikoletta: Had never seen an eclipse before, and neither had Abner, so they actually both get the eclipse glasses and watch it for as long as possible, and are both incredibly impressed.

Jimmy: Heard that Lars and Lucky were going to pop out around lunch to try and catch a glimpse and asked to join them. They also weren't in the path of maximum coverage, but Jimmy was awed at even the little sliver they got (he'd never seen an eclipse before either). Lars insisted that he borrow his eclipse glasses, even though he's a ghost and probably wouldn't suffer any ill effects.

Eternal Harmony: {~Eclipse of Emotions~}

Summary: Y/N's ordinary life takes a supernatural twist when they encounter the mysterious Cullen family in Forks. Immersed in a world of eternal love and trials, Y/N becomes a vital part of the Cullens' immortal story. Guided by Alice's visions and Jasper's wisdom, they face cosmic threats and navigate the complexities of supernatural existence. The story unfolds through eclipses of emotions and trials, culminating in a dawn where enduring bonds and love echo through the ages—a forever-bound journey in the supernatural realm.

Characters: The Cullen family

Pairing: Jasper x Reader x Alice

Warnings: No Warnings

Word Count: 509

Chapter 4 --- Chapter 5

The meadow, now bathed in the silvery light of the moon, became a canvas for the emotions swirling within the Cullen family. Y/N, standing amidst the ethereal glow, felt the weight of the immortal secrets that hung in the air. It was a pivotal moment, where the bonds of love and the complexities of their supernatural existence converged.

Alice, her eyes gleaming like stars in the night sky, turned to Y/N. "This is the hour of revelations, a time when emotions and destinies align under the celestial gaze."

Jasper, the quiet maestro of emotions, sensed the shifting energies. "Eclipses are moments of profound change, where the balance tilts between light and shadow," he explained, his voice carrying the weight of centuries.

As the Cullen family gathered in the moonlit meadow, Edward and Bella stood side by side, their love a beacon that defied the limitations of mortality. Emmett and Rosalie, the epitome of strength and beauty, exchanged a knowing glance, their unspoken connection resonating in the night.

Y/N, feeling the ebb and flow of emotions, turned to Alice. "What does the eclipse reveal for us?" they asked, their eyes searching the star-studded sky.

Alice's gaze shifted to the moon, her expression contemplative. "Eclipses are times of transformation, of choices that echo through the ages. The path ahead holds challenges, but also moments of profound connection and understanding."

Jasper, attuned to the emotional currents, continued, "Love in the supernatural realm is both a gift and a trial. It tests our resilience, challenges our perceptions, and, in the face of eternity, becomes a constant source of renewal."

The moon, shrouded in a momentary veil, cast an otherworldly glow on the meadow. In that luminal space between light and shadow, Y/N felt the weight of the choices that lay ahead. The complexities of navigating immortal love became tangible, and the silent communication among the Cullens spoke volumes.

Emmett, breaking the reflective silence, boomed with joviality. "Well, I say we face whatever comes our way with laughter and a bit of mischief. Keeps things interesting, don't you think?"

Rosalie, elegant and composed, added, "Our family has weathered centuries together. We endure, not just survive, and face the challenges with unwavering strength."

As the eclipse reached its zenith, the Cullens stood united, their collective presence a testament to the endurance of immortal bonds. The meadow, bathed in the surreal glow of the celestial event, became a stage for the emotions that intertwined their fates.

In that luminous moment, Y/N couldn't help but feel a profound sense of unity. The eclipse, with its symbolic dance of shadows and light, mirrored the intricate dynamics of the Cullen family. As the moon emerged from the shadow's embrace, the night embraced a new chapter—one where love, trials, and the eternal dance of existence unfolded under the watchful eyes of the cosmos. Little did Y/N know that the eclipses of emotions were but a prelude to the epic tale of love and immortality that awaited them in the pages of their intertwined destinies.

Okay, I'm really curious, and I haven't seen this question being asked, sooooooo I'm just gonna go ahead with it: do you think Jasper/Bree could happen? In an au where Bree is spared and she's looked after by the Cullens, but then then some au bullshit happens, I dunno what, Edward pulls an Edward? And Jasper/Bree somehow happens (and the Cullens break up, I guess, because that's a Thing and Cannot Be Prevented).? Can you think of anything about how this thing could happen?

Nope.

For all that Jasper and Alice have issues, I don't think he's going to leave her anytime soon and certainly not for a stranger who has lived a life a little too similar to his own for comfort.

Even should Edward reach zenith Edwardening that's not necessarily going to break up Jasper and Alice and, if it does, is unlikely to have Jasper seeking out this newcomer to the coven.

Not to mention Jasper, with his history, essentially being Riley but 10,000 times worse, would be terrifying to Bree and she would not be about that at all no matter how much he seems to be redeemed.

Of course, impossible is a large word, so I'm sure there's some set of circumstances where this would occur. I just don't see it as very likely even if we're really stretching the AU strings here.

This is one of those, anon, where you clearly want to see it happen and should write the fic.

Toons for Our Times: Ducktales: They Put a Moonlander on the Earth!

At Glomglast, Glomgold Glomturns! Flintheart Hero of Earth Glomgold continues riding his wave of good PR from helping save the earth in the manner you’d expect: With  a dangerous attention seeking pr stunt/ferris wheel/half-ased plan to murder scrooge. Naturally Dewey is first in line for it. Meanwhile Webby tries to convince a wound up Penumbra to stay and enjoy earth so she can get a new alien friend who she relates to and her brothers can get a new step mom, while Launchpad is awkward because his coffee with Pennumbra went worse than the one he had with the gas cloud. The Glom Knight Glomturns under the cut. 

This one is late for both good reason, I didn’t want to hog the wifi while my nieces were trying to remote school, and not so good I.e.... I entirely forgot an episode was today because I’m not used to the new schedule, as in the past the show’s either aired on saturday like usual for a disney show, or as a cluster of episodes throughout one week, so even if it wasn’t something I was used to, I was tuned to stay in. The new schedule is weird  and my brain is stupid is what i’m saying. Now i’ve covered my butt on with the review! This week focuses on Penumbra, and explains exactly what happened to the Moonlanders after Moonvasion. For Penny at least she’s apparently been living in the McDuck hangar, or somewhere near it, and working on rebuilding one of the bigger ships to get her people home. Della, while not missing the opprotunity to point out now Penny’s the one living in HER garage buliding a rocket home, pitches in and we see things have clearly changed. At least with Della, Penny’s let down her guard and now openly considers her her best friend.. and perhaps more because the romantic tension is so thick here you could cut it with a sword. Granted I may have swords on the brain because of this. 

Which if your not up to date on your x-men comics, is an event where our Uncanny X-Men, now having their own nation of krakoa where all mutants are welcome, which includes apocalypse so he’s on THEIR SIDE in that shot, must fight ten other mutants in a ritual sword duel with some of the strongest swords in the mighty marvel canon, and loosing means the other mutants, many of whom are the CHILDREN of apocalyspe from centuries ago he thought lost, get to invade earth with a demonic horde. And if NONE of that made you curious, let alone want to read that, I just.. don’t get you. 

Back to the gays, yeah the ten sword thick sexual tension is broken by the fact that Penumbra reveals she tried SOME earth culture and did get that coffee with Launchpad, with Della baffled.. I mean look at those abs. Though it’s probably less “Launchpad really?” and more “Why not me first? Is he sexier? Dammit he is. “ It went about as well as you’d expect.. with Penny storming out suddenly saying this is terrible and running off. Eh not the worst first date i’ve seen in animation this year. I’ve seen a woman go on a date with a man conjoined to his ex.. and not like their siblings it’s a medical procedure. Because close enough is pretty fucking insane and let’s keep it that way.

But yeah so Penumbra’s not sold on earth and Della’s attempts to get her to go with the kids, get to that in a minute, fall on deaf ears. But the thing is. her people are. When meeting with gibious and zenith, if you don’t remember the married moon couple we saw back in “The Golden Spear”, Penumbra finds out she’s the only one who wants to go home. Her people like it here...the happy couple even got adorable new outfits, a job with Glomgold in Gibbious’ case, and an adorable new dog named good boy. Look at them. 

I would die for either of them. I hope we see Good Boy again. And that the show introduces Bolivar, donald’s dog at some point. Or even his ostrich hortense. I just want the duck to have a pet dammit. 

Point is their happy here and while Penny wants to go back to the old routine of them all on the moon and her saving them.. their fine if she wants to go home but.. their staying here. And it’s easy to see WHY they want to: The moon was harsh, filled with monsters and much like us humans right now with earth, they only stayed in their clusterfuck of a home world because they had no way out. It’s probably why Lunaris sold hte invasion so easily: With his pitch they were just taking a nicer world from a bunch of mean asssholes who refused to share it and whose sole representative had seemingly betrayed them. Without any reason to hate the earthlings and, outside of once incident later in the episode, the earthlings accepting them with open arms and forgiveness, why wouldn’t they stay on a nice, sunny world, in a large city willing to house them and give them jobs, with delicious foods and all sorts of fun shit to distract you from the bad parts of living here that the moon lacked. 

Penny’s issue is while THEIR lives were miserable.. her’s wasn’t. She was a hero, a super hero really.. I mean she’s dressed like a kree sentry, she protects the helpless and she’s a fearless warrior whose now a fish out of water on a world she never could’ve expected but grows to love. Martian Manhunter, Captain Marvel, the Mar Vell one, Warlock, Adam Warlock and yes their separate characters, Supergirl, not superman because while he is an alien he grew up here.. all aliens who immigrated here and grew to love and protect it and see it as their home. Penny just hasn’t got to the “love and protect it” part yet and while the rest of her people have new purpose, new homes and new lives and still meet once a week to party she finds herself, theri greatest champion an outsider, desperately wanting her old life back but not accepting it’s gone. She can go home but she’d be the one person on a desolate moon clinging to the past.  Penny here honestly reminds me of jasper in steven unvierse future: Both are old soldiers who find their empire gone, their entire way of life uprooted and have no way to cope and desperately hoping things will collapse back to THEIR normal, not realizing the new one isn’t going anywhere and is better for their people. They need to move on but their too proud and too scared to try. 

However Penny refuses to admit defeat to her people and that she can’t have “earth fun”, and left with no other choices, decides to take the kids up on their offer after all. To explain that we quickly wrap to the top of the episode, where Webby, bored and having trouble finding anyone, finds Penny and after Penny dosen’t want to hang out finds Dewey and Louie. I assume since their absent this episode, Huey is introducing Violet to Gyro, Fenton and Boyd, Beakly is buying groceries, Donald is courting Daisy and Scrooge.. is trying to get fethry’s hands, feet and head out of pickle jars because he thought they’d preserve him and Donald is busy for once so he’s the only one left to do it.  Louie and Dewey plan on just laying around and biinging old ottoman empires, I can relate, but the news gives them a better option. A GLOMGOLD OPTION. Oh me mow how i’ve missed this big beautiful man. Seriously Glomgold is easily one of the best parts of the reboot and Keith Fergeuson brings an utterly delightful manic glee to the guy any time he shows up to eat the scenery whole. While I get holding back on him since he had an arc last season, it’s still nice to have him back in all his hammy glory.  And naturally being glomgold he has a scheme going: After gifting a rolelrcoaster previously, over water and with sharks because his brand’s nothing if not consistent, he’s now offering the flintferris glomwheel, which is shoddy, dangerous, secretly a plot to kill scrooge, and is very likely to kill a child.. so in other words it’s Glomgold himself roleld into a ferris wheel. Dewey is psyched to go because he let another kid go first for Glomgold’s last PR Stunt/Nightmare and that kid got all the glory and as such is now Dewey’s new nemisis. So after asking his mom “If we can go ride a death wheel so I can get famous’, which of course Della says yes to, our heroes end up taking Penny along.  Launchpad drives and gets his subplot for the episode, being awkard around Penny because the date went bad and not sure if this makes then enimies and avoiding her. He tries going to dewey for help, and while Dewey is out of his element, he does actually give good advice to just talk to her.. Launchpad just takes it while he’s driving because it’s launchpad. Thankfully webby can drive. He spends the rest of hte episode getting into shenanigans before, after helping her with the climax, phrasing, being honest and apologizing. And i’m also covering the plot to get her answer out of the way now: Penny admits he’s fine, thery can be fight buds, he’s a good warrior sh’es just “Not interested in an earth..male” her exact words. 

I mean.. there’s no real subtly here. Even if she’s not into Della, which all evidence suggests is the case, Penumbra is CLEARLY into women. I mean Frank is basically saying as loudly as his mousey overlords will allow “SHE’S GAY FOR DELLA”. Wether this goes anywhere, I dunno. While Lumity started ramping up this year, that property’s not based on Disney’s classic canon and STILL had to fight tooth and claw to make Luz bisexual and her love intrested a girl. Disney won’t even let this show use Mickey and almost didn’t let them use the rescue rangers, the odds are against them.. but I also never thoguht we’d see violet’s gay dads on screen, or so many previously  comics only characters, so frank’s said screw the impossible before. Now probably is no different. 

Back to the main plot, and to the return of Glomgold whose great as ever. Glomgold made the moonlanders and some of duckberg think he was soley responsible for saving the world.. how many people besides the non-penny moonlanders think he actually did it is up for debate but he DID genuinely help save the world. Also his scheme to get his company back somehow WORKED despite not being legally binding, as he’s now back in his tower, back to scheming and has an actual assitant instead of a professional career woman he treats like one in a bit that didn’t age all that well even a year later.  Gibious is now Glomgold’s sidekick and in a nice contrast to Owlson instead of being fed up with his crap Gibious, buying into Glomgold’s own ego, lavishes praise on his new boss, treats him like the god he thinks he is, and is genuinely sweet and helpful. It’s a nice dynamic giving Glomgold someone who ACTUALLY and genuinely likes him as a person and wants him to suceed and trusts in his insane schemes and leads to some great bits like Gib genuinely calling the safety inspector when Glomgold makes an airquotes remark about it and at the end Glomgold admitting “I can’t stay mad at you” to his new lackey/Best friend. Frankly Glomgold needed a 21 to his Monarch, and i’ts a delight to see it and Paulson and Ferguson have real chemistry.  Meanwhile in the A-Plot, Webby tries to get Penny to enjoy earth, first with a street performer she tosses in the water ,as you should, then with a shooting range which ends with her massacering a clownhead to the children minus webby’s horror and tears. We were one more frame away from this really. 

Also we get the ducks feeding.. ducks, a gag Frank’s apparently wanted to do for three seasons now, and with Penny being as confused as the audeince. but non of this, including roller skates really works.  So while Dewey goes off to get in line to one up his rival, Webby gets honest with Penny about why she’s so invested and this episode goes from good.. to truly fantastic. While webby fangirling over a mighty and gay space warrior makes sense, there’s a personal reason she wants to help here that really tugs at the heart strings: Webby was like her once. Like Penny she spent her whole life honing herself into a weapon, sealed in her own tiny world, For Penny it was her moon village for Webby it was the mansion. And being thrust out into it was .. frightening. We saw webby struggle to adjust in “Daytrip of Doom!” and part of her wanted to plunge back into the mansion and her saftey net at times. But she didn’t.. with the help of her family, and her friends, she found out just how wonderful the world is and how as scary as the world is.. it opened up new parts of her. Duckberg webby was just as great as mansion webby if not better. So Webby wants to do the same for penny and what really clinches the scene is how she does it: a Hamburger, the symbol from the pilot of what webby was deprived of all her life, given to a new friend as a symbol of what the world offers. And it works at first, even without cheese. But then Penny gets a brain freeze, and Glomgold, needing a distraction from the saftey inspector rames her as going beserk because he’s an asshat in every other way let’s add racisim to it. 

A chase insues, Penny’s determined to flee.. but she gets a second wind when Dewey, who rushed in to get the first ride and webby get trapped. Sadly dewey’s new enemy gets all the attention, and as we find out is aware he one upped Dewey and brags over it, but Penny has now gone from fish out of water to shark on the hunt, and with Launchpad’s help to get past Glom and Gib, and the roller skates from earlier finally has some earth fun by skating into the air, climbing the Ferris wheel and saving the kids. Penny FINALLY found something she likes about earth; That she can Still protect people, including her people and do what she loved there and the danger here is WAY more intresting.. I mean on hte moon itw as just the usual monsters she was used to. Here she had to rocket into the air, and climb an megalomainics cannon armed ferris wheel to save two adorable children. In short she’s become a super hero and like those I mentioned, has grown to care about earth. So basically this is like captain marvel was an episode of Steven Universe. I likes it. But it’s a nice character arc, as Penny realizes the outside world, and her new friends/future stepchildren, have b eauty and worth. And she will protect their kind, she will protect them. I mean duckberg already has about 4 other superheroes if you count lena, which with that outfit last time I dooo, but frankly with how much disaster it faces on a daily basis, and how much Fenton needed a goddamn break, and with Darkwing leaving for st canard soon, they could probably use her. 

So the day is saved, Glomgold is buired in fines but has a new minon, Dewey is dewfeated and Penny is happy again. We end on Penny recounting everything to Gibious and wife, and Good Boy obviously, along with Della who casually admits she really shoduln’t of let her child go but sooths him anyway over his loss. Penny is happy and deciding to stay, and her and her new best buddy laucnhpad are going to go tear the ship apart with her carrying della along. I swear when they finally do do it she’s just going to.. carry a willing della to her bedroom and throw her down on that thing.. everything after is up to you Id ont’ write porn here. Nothing wrong with it just not my bidness. So with a hopeful new future and a neat t-shirt, Penny finally finds her place in the world. 

Final Thoughts: A very good, very gay episode that’s just as good as last weeks and gives penumbra a hell of a character arc, while also being an utterly hilaroius episode, from penumbra’s destruction, to glomgold’s hilarious as always antics to dewey’s attention whoring reaching self endagering heights of stupidity and ego, this was a great one and keeps up Season 3′s quality streak. While the plot progression may be slow for now, everything else is at an alltime goddamn high. 

Next week, it’s the HALLOWEEN EPISODE BITCHES. Nuff Said. Until then you can check my blog for more reviews, as we have some halloween stuff coming up. Sadly with Loud House going silent, it seems this is our only weekly coverage but expect more reviews of various shows, and some very spooky ooky ones coming very soon including some brucie bonus episodes and until we meet again, go team venture! Play us out glomgold....

Grim Lovelies by Megan Shepherd

Anouk is a Bestie, an animal turned into a human. She has spent her whole time locked away in the town house of the witch that made her.  When that witch is murdered, Anouk and her friends have 3 days to find another witch to extend the spell or they will turn back into animals.  This was the October Booksplosion book.  The live discussion show for this book will be next week.

The Language of God by Dr. Francis Collins

Francis Collins was one of the lead scientists that unraveled the human genome.  In this book he talks about how his study of science and philosophy took him from atheist to Christian.  He also explains how all that he has seen in science points to a creator.

Zenith by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings 

Androma leads an all girl pirate crew that haunts the galaxy.  When a standard job goes wrong, the crew is at the mercy of a bounty hunter from Andi's past.  Coerced into a life threatening mission and straight into the path of a blood thirsty ruler bent on revenge, Andi and her crew are all that stand in the way of a war that could destroy the entire galaxy. 

Kindle Unlimited Books:

CURTAINS

          Seventh grade might just be the zenith of adolescent misery. Silly and childish but cunningly cruel, these kids are no longer cheerful and plucky nor are they settled in young adulthood. With each hunched shoulder and downturned glance, seventh graders show the world just how completely misplaced they feel. When my daughter, Jasper, was in seventh grade, she came home from school one day having just been dropped by her group of friends, suddenly, with hurtfully choreographed precision through simultaneous texts, and without apparent reason. She collapsed in my arms, limp and sobbing, telling her story through heaving gasps. There was a new, never heard before pitch in her voice, concordant with the agony of her four-year-old strep throat and her ten-year-old broken arm, but more textured and complex. Her sound was so full of emotion that it stunned me to the core, and exposed within me fresh, untouched territory on the surface of my heart. She dried her eyes and looked at me, asking without words for the assurance that she would be okay. I wiped a last tear from her cheek and told her she would get through this, that this is life, and that there is darkness and light in each moment. I chose my words carefully, shaping them as best I could in a way that she could hear, knowing that too much doctrine would lose her, and that most of all if I were to show her my new heart place, throbbing and raw, that it would be too much. So I covered it up, drew a dark cloth over its angry redness, and what remained was what she needed, a calm and steady light shining towards a path of resilience.

The moment did not last, and she withdrew from me and went to her room, headphones on, door locked. The next two weeks were a rollercoaster of ups and downs, a dream-like, darting story that I could barely patch together with frayed bits of conversation with Jasper and late night reading of the texts on her phone. Each day, she came home from school alone while her friends gathered together somewhere else. I spoke with my mother daily, and during my conversations with her, I wept. She’d answer the phone and my chest would swell with ache, my eyes overflow with tears. We spoke of the betrayal I suffered in seventh grade, how my friends, without cell phones or texts, choreographed a sudden, devastating betrayal. As we talked about my decades old hurt and Jasper’s fresh new one, my mother drew back the covering of her heart and described to me the pain she felt as I came home from school day after day, my suffering almost unbearable for her to see. Those friends that were swept up by the intoxicating whiff of adolescent power play are now beloved and close to me. But in seventh grade, my mother described, they hurt me deeply and revealed within her a first-felt heart place that she covered up as she looked into my thirteen-year-old eyes to let me know I would be okay.

My mother was with me when the radiologist shut the door after my mammogram and told us that I had breast cancer. I had felt a lump and was worried so my mother cancelled her plans to come along to my appointment. The world collapsed in that moment, dizzyingly spinning and rushing, deafening drum-beating heart and wave-crashing blood, windowless room and searing florescent lights. I turned to look at my mother and saw in her eyes the flash of a new heart place opening within her, blindingly bright, but in a moment it disappeared and was replaced by a love so solid and strong that it carried me through a year of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. She was there every single moment, holding my hand as the healing toxins poured into my body, smiling at me as I woke up from surgery, two breasts and two ovaries lighter. Not once did she pull back the curtain to show me her heart place, not once did she share with me her pain.

“It hurts so much, mom, I can barely stand it,” I said to my mother on the phone, driving to pick Jasper up after yet another call from school, the quiver in her voice revealing that the stomach ache she complained of to the nurse was actually more heartache caused by her peers.

“Tell me about it,” she said, ”How about watching your daughter go through cancer,” she said lightly, a dance we can now share, one with moves that sharpen with every year that passes since my diagnosis.

“Oh mom,” I said, shocked by a surge of understanding, “That must have been so very hard for you.” In that moment, I saw what I could not see when I was a daughter, suffering and scared, wrapped in the arms of my mother.

“Yes, it was hard, but I always knew you were going to be okay.” She had closed the curtain again, but this time it was a translucent, breezy cloth so that I could see the contours of her heart place, the ragged valleys and bottomless seas.  In this moment we shared something new, another light in the darkness, the struggle of seventh grade and the terror of a daughter’s cancer, and the extraordinary power of a mother’s love.

So I was reading some of your stuff through tags and was wondering if you could do a drabble for when Copia found our he was a dacrophiliac? If not that's fine, and I love your work 🩷🩷🩷

Copia finding out he's a dacryphiliac

He didn't mean to. Honestly!

He just... got so lost in you... your body... how addicting you are... how addicting your body was...

He didn't realize you were crying.

And as soon as he did? He stopped all movement immediately, checking in on you over and over, asking you if you were okay.

But as soon as you said you liked it? Or just a silent dumb smile?

Immediately goes to his dick.

And if you give him the green light?

Whimpering and whining so loudly, rutting into you over and over, panting and almost wheezing into the nape of your neck, trying to get more tears, his own brain fuzzy as he looked at the tears... slowly falling down your face, the image of just how good he was making you feel.

Never makes you cry unless he has permission. Would never ever do it unless their was boundaries and a safe word in place. Never ever.

Been when he gets the green light?

You either cry from how soft he is or how overwhelming the pleasure is.

Or sobbing from how feral he is.

Especially in the Papa paint, after a ritual. Filled with adrenaline and the need to get deeper.

I'm not sure if your Ghost requests are still open but if they are could we get some NSFW Mountain headcanons with some subby Mountain sprinkled in please? I hope you're all doing alright with the amount of requests I've seen you all answering <3

Mountain NSFW headcanons

FTM Mountain. (Has a t-dick and a vagina.)

First and foremost, he has such a size kink, naturally.

He loves seeing you split in half on a strap. He loves the bulge in your stomach and the screams he can pull out of your throat with the silicone.

He loves to hold your hand while slamming into you, he just cannot get over the way his fingers curl against your knuckles and his hand just completely swallows yours.

He is always vocal, being the Dom or the sub. Grunts and groans when he's doming, snarling pure filth into your ear. Biting down on every inch of skin he can get, and not stopping until you cannot think

Subbing?

From the very moment you touch his t-dick, he's screaming.

Tell him how big his little t-dick is and he'll practically cum on command. Loves to be tied up and used. Huge oral fixation. Best dick/pussy sucker in the ministry.

He loves having his pussy filled, by a toy, by a dick, a strap, fingers, a tongue- anything... if there's a bulge, he can't help but stare, and cup the bulge.

Is more than happy to be suffocated in between any pair of thighs, happy to mindlessly lick and suck, letting both of his holes be used until he'll passed out.

And maybe then some, if you ask nicely.

psst. chain kinky headcanons.

Chain NSFW Headcanons

It/Ghoul Pronouns used for chain

It will refuse it, but they love to be used.

Used.

Ghoul loves being torn from its room, asked a safeword (Which is a fake one, everyone of ghouls partners knows its safeword.)

Ghoul likes the idea of a safeword being ignored. Always makes It shiver. (Not the real one, though that rarely gets used. It can take a lot.)

Anyways.

It will never complain about being used without really being asked. Ghoul loves being thrown down in the middle of the ghoul dens and being used until its dripping cum from its mouth, ass, ghouls stomach and is practically painted white.

And yet it still wants more.

Ghoul is also a very big fan of prey play. It loves to be chase, don't get ghoul wrong, but it heavily prefers to be the one chasing, using its ghoulish abilities to track and hunt.

Obviously, ghoul is a huge adrenaline junkie.

Anything that will get its blood rushing and heart pounding is something that it will do almost without any questions at all.

Chain is a very, very good sub, basically. Loves all the mean doms, the meaner, the better.

It's a bit of a masochist, if you didn't figure that much out yet.

Ghoul's not big on finesse, it likes it rough. Rough as hell, honestly.

Don't bring a knife, use claws. The more animalistic, the better.

Even cannibalism is on the table. If you ask nicely.

can you do a fem/ghoulette reader x mountain where like they are taking a hike and reader is like really tired so Mountain like helps them back to the ministry? it’s my first time requesting so i’m not sure if i did this right

Hiking with Mountain

He/him pronouns used for Mountain. Gender neutral reader.

He knew that you were getting tired. Your skin was flushed and a few beads of sweat had started to drip down your face and arms. He didn't say anything yet. You didn't say anything yet, so he wouldn't either. If you needed help, you would ask.

And you did.

It didn't take much longer before your lungs started to hurt and he just sighed, gently holding your shoulder.

He knew many people wouldn't be able to keep up with him, he really doesn't have anything but advantages. Being huge, which made it easier to walk longer and longer distances, and a slow metabolism. Oh. And the whole half goat, Earth Ghoul-demon thing.

Yeah... He didn't expect you to keep up.

"...c'mon, get on my back. I'll carry you, you look like you're about to pass out."

And who were you to argue?

And so he picked you up, holding you close as he walked back into the Ministry, making sure to get you a bath, a snack and more than enough water. Plenty of cuddles, too, after he takes a shower and changes clothes into something comfortable to wear in bed.

It's a nice experience.

Heyy, can i get headcanons for secondo/transmasc reader? Pretty please 🤲🥺

Papa Emeritus II with a transmasc s/o

Take one look at this motherfucker.

You think he won't support you like it was his life's task?

If you were closeted before you met him, as soon as you told him, his reaction was odd for him.

Gently takes you into his arms, holding you close as he thanks you for trusting him with this information. He means it.

If you don't have the money for anything that you need for your transition, he will pay for it. This is not up for debate. At all. He is paying. Cry about it.

He isn't trans himself, but you can almost always find him with a book or on a website, learning more about trans people and their history. What dysphoria and gender envy is.

He just wants to be able to understand what you are going through, the absolute best that he can.

Would absolutely go out shopping with you, just making sure that you get the clothes that make you feel most comfortable in your skin.

If anyone ever misuses your pronouns, he gives them once chance to correct themself before he's fighting someone.

Would get in a fight with a transphobe. Has gotten into a fight with a transphobe. Would do so again, you just have to ask.

If you're scared of needles, (like me) he would absolutely gently talk to you while doing your T-shot. And when he's done? You didn't even feel the needle go in.

i just had. a very cute idea. papas with an s/o that loves baking. 🫶🫶🫶

Papas with s/o who likes baking

TW: mentions of drugs (weed).

Primo

He enjoys baking as well!

He would absolutely get the two of you matching Aprons

He would be the one to have an old notebook full of recipes, the ink of the pen he wrote them with washed and faded, the paper curled at the edges and tanned with age.

Let's you decide what to bake, and always helps if you ask for it.

Will bake for you if you're sad.

Secondo

This man cannot bake or cook to save his life.

He will not be allowed in the kitchen, because he will somehow burn whatever you are baking, even if you just asked him to whisk the eggs.

He is will stand just out side of the kitchen though, and just happily watching you bake and move around the kitchen

Will demand to eat everything that you make, and will demand you bake him cookies the night after one of his parties, to cure his hangover of course.

Terzo

He also cannot bake, but damn if he doesn't try.

He will do his best, doing simple things such as whisking eggs or preheating the oven.

Will flirt with you the entire time you're baking. Baking pick up lines.

He will steal a cookie or a piece of cake before it's had any time to cool down and then cry into your chest, being addimaite that the treat had attacked him.

Copia

He loves baking!

Primo taught him how to bake a few things, so he is more than happy to teach you or learn!

He will pull you in for a cuddle session with flour covering the both of you, giggling as he kisses your head and couldn't care less about the flour getting all over the both of your clothing.

You can catch him stealing treats off of the pan just when they're cool enough.

Also makes treats for his rats.

Old Nihil

Thinks it's adorable.

He's pretty much useless in the kitchen, so he just... sits there and stares at you.

Compliments your skills on every single step.

You took milk out of the fridge? You're absolutely amazing.

You read the recipe? Damn, you're so good at reading recipes!

He adores you so much.

Praises the hell out of what you made. He loves it. It's honestly adorable.

Young Nihil

He's not too fond of domestic stuff, so he doesn't really care too much at first...

But then you make the most amazing weed infused brownies ever and suddenly edibles are his favorite way to get high.

He cannot be trusted with most things in the kitchen by he does like watching and do little things for you.

He'll hand you ingredients (you have to pay him with a kiss for each one) and hold you from behind as you do things, nuzzling into your neck and getting it covered in his paint.

And besides, a little fun while you wait for whatever you're baking is in the oven can't hurt, right?
