If you’re doing book ones, could do ones from Peter Pan or Lolita? They’re two of my absolute favorites and your work is lovely! ❤️
sure thing! if i make a lolita set, it will be with more of the vague or existential quotes than not, and the peter pan set is queued to go up next week ^^
This drabble is for @risquesno who requested jealous!Rick and some Rick/Morticia! Hope you like it!
Rick tapped his foot impatiently, taking yet another glance at his watch. He grumbled in annoyance as he read the green digits displayed on its screen. He’s been standing there for far too long.
When the hell is Morticia going to finish talking to that asshole…?
A school bell rang, calling the students chatting in the hallways back to their classrooms. Rick turned back to the laughing pair of teenagers. They showed no signs of ending their conversation. Morticia was leaning shyly against her locker, twirling a loose strand of her curly hair as she talked to this guy—who was he again? Jake?— and made a sad attempt to flirt with him. She was too obviously nervous, and her stutter made her words practically incomprehensible to the befuddled boy. The two shared many awkward pauses as Morticia tried to collect herself and enunciate her words more carefully.
Rick rolled his eyes when his granddaughter stumbled over empty air, her shaking legs betraying her. Now was a good time as any to interrupt their pointless conversation, he guessed. He rushed forward to catch her before she made an impact with the ground, arms already outstretched to break her fall.
Rick was beaten to the punch by Jake’s quick reflexes and close proximity to her. The boy stopped Morticia’s fall with an arm around her waist, preventing her from hitting her head on the hard tiles of the floor. They both froze for a second, staring at each other’s eyes.
Jake rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. “It was no biggie. You’re welcome.”
I’m going to vomit. Rick coughed loudly, glaring at Morticia. “C’mon, w-w-we have somewhere to go, and I—UUURP—am not going to stick around and wait for your teacher to find out. I don’t have time for bailing your ass out of detention.”
His granddaughter let go of the boy, looking guilty as she walked toward Rick. “O-o-okay, Rick. Let’s go,” she said, casting a look back at Jake. The boy’s face twisted into a grimace, possibly displeased at having their conversation cut short.
“Wait,” Jake interrupted, following Moticia and grabbing her wrist. “Do you really have to leave?” he asked, giving Rick a pointed look. “I noticed you get dragged around a lot by your grandfather. You’re missing a lot of classes, you know.”
“W-w-well, I—”
Rick placed a protective hand on his granddaughter and sneered at him. “M-m-my granddaughter much more important things to do than leaUURPrn the inane drivel that your teachers spew out on a regular school day. Piss off back to class, punk.”
Jake’s brow furrowed. Shaking his head, he turned to Morticia. “Your grandpa’s really rude, ‘ticia. I guess I’ll see you later. Maybe we could hang out—”
“There will be no ‘hanging out’,” Rick interrupted angrily, grip tightening around his granddaughter. Who does this idiot think he is? “I said. Piss. The fuck. Off. W-w-we’re going to be out all day, a-a-and I don’t want you bothering Morticia when we get back. And besides, you aren’t gooOOUGHd enough for my granddaughter. Go hit on someone in your own league.” Without waiting for a reply from Jake, he steered Morticia into a portal, appearing in their empty garage.
As soon as they went through the portal, Morticia hissed in anger, ripping away Rick’s hand from her shoulder and stomping into the passenger’s side of the spaceship. She slammed the door and crossed her arms, a look of complete frustration directed at Rick.
Oh boy, here it goes. Rick pinched the bridge of his nose, sliding into the driver’s seat and fully expecting the sermon his granddaughter was about to give him.
“W-w-what was that, Rick?” she yelled as soon as Rick put the key into the ignition. “Y-y-you saw us, I could’ve had a shot with Jake! Why—why’d you have to go and blow it for me?”
“Because,” Rick replied, backing the spaceship out of the garage, “that little shit’s no good for you, Morticia, a-a-and you know it. Why go for Jake when you have literally anyone in the multiverse at your disposal? Y-y-you’re wasting your opportunities. Y-y-you’re settling for fast food i-i-in a multiversal buffet of possibilities. Have—have you seen a Globorxian, Morticia? Your sex life isn’t complete if you haven’t been with one. They literally have seven—”
“Not the point, Rick!” Morticia argued. “I-I don’t want any Globorxians or whatever weird aliens you’ve been with. I wanted Jake, and you just had to go and fuck up the best chance I’ve had in snagging him! He was the boy of my dreams, a-a-and now I’m never going to have another moment like that with him!”
“Will you stop being so fucking dramatic? I-I-I’m doing you a favor, you ingrate of a granddaughter. I know people like Jake. Y-y-you think he’ll even bother with you i-i-if he didn’t want to get in your pants? A-a-and don’t you even think about it, Morticia, I’m willing to bet my shriveled-up liver that that boy has a small cock.”
“Are you kidding me? I know Jake i-i-isn’t like that, and you know jack shit about Jake. Would you grow some balls already a-a-and tell me what your real problem with Jake is? Because frankly, Rick, I can smell your bullshit from a dozen miles away!”
“My problem,” Rick said, raising his voice to a shout, “is that Jake pisses me off! He’s so moronic and uninteresting but-but you still have a goddamn crush on him! Why the hell are you so interested? What does he haUUURPve that’s so fucking special that you talk about him 24/7!? It’s always Jake this, Jake that. I-I-I can’t even hold a conversation with you for longer than five seconds without you even mentioning him!”
His granddaughter was struck dumb by Rick’s outburst, her mouth in an open O of surprise. They drifted through space in an agonizing minute-long silence as Morticia processed Rick’s words. Rick steeled himself for the inevitable angry comeback.
Instead, she started to laugh.
“What? What’s so funny?” Rick snapped, confused by Morticia’s reaction.
“Oh my god. Oh. My. God,” she said in between chuckles, “I-I-I’d never thought I’d see the day. Rick Sanchez, The Rick Sanchez, is jealous! Holy—y-y-you’re actually jealous of me talking to Jake!”
Rick’s eyes widened. “What the—what are you— That-that’s the most idiotic—I’m not jealous!”
“Oh, Mr. Aloof. Mr. I Don’t Care About My GrandKids. I-I-I’m so uncaring, I cockblocked my granddaughter because I didn’t like her talking to her crush,” she taunted. “A-a-and then I gave her a bullshit excuse about Jake being a complete asshole, even though I’d met him less than five minutes ago—”
“Oh, fuck off, Morticia—”
Morticia wiped the tears of mirth from her eyes, then smiled at Rick. “You don’t have to be jealous, Rick. You’ll always be number one to me.”
“I-I-I don’t care whether you think I’m number—” Rick stopped short as his granddaughter scooted closer to him, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. In his surprise, his hands slipped slightly from its grip on the steering wheel, the ship careening slightly to the left. Rick felt the beginnings of a blush taint his cheeks, betraying his true feelings.
His granddaughter laughed. “Don’t worry, Rick. I love you too.”
*Why they are the best So let me start by saying I’ve been crazy about Pokémon since the very first day the anime aired on American television back in 1998, getting my first game (Red) soon after, and I gotta say Guzma is easily one of the most realistic characters we’ve seen yet! There’s nothing fantastical or over-the-top about him or the problems he’s got. He’s very realistic, and while he’s not a NICE guy, he’s so relatable it’s very easy for many people, including me, to empathize with him.
*Why they are the worst Well like I said he’s not a nice guy. He is a jerk! He’s got anger issues and reacts violently to things that upset him. While I think he talks big and his bark is generally worse than his bite, I believe he WILL back up the threats he makes if you give him a reason to.
*a canon fact (that shouldn’t be) He had a very hard life that left him with some very real emotional baggage that weighs him down as an adult. That’s really all I can say on that… :/
*a non-canon fact (that should be) That he can overcome that shitty hand he’s been dealt and have all the happiness and confidence he deserves! And become a kahuna coughandmarryplumeriaandlivehappilyeverafter
*a piece of advice I would give themOh man …You matter a whole lot more than you think you do …Probably something like that.
i got two for snape (surpriiiiise!) and this is the first one that arrived, so:
Why they are the best
genuinely horrible person but brave as fuck; would protect harry with his life but also would take genuine pleasure in seeing him expelled; doesn’t know how to love but swears his entire life’s purpose to something almost like it; prettiest patronus in the order
Why they are the worst
enjoys bullying kids, joined genocidal cult, made hermione cry
a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
if we’re talking “canon” as in “the books only,” i love everything about him tbh. except maybe the fact that he says “it is i.” NERD
a non-canon fact (that should be)
smokes and cusses as two of the only pleasures, aside from bullying kids, he’s got
a piece of advice I would give them
i’d say “don’t be such a dick” but then i don’t think he’d know how to function
BECAUSE SHE’S MINAKO?? no, really it’s because of her loyalty and her spirit. it’s because her friends always come first, both in terms of protecting and annoying. because minako knows what it’s like to be alone & shouldering a terrible burden of memories, but doesnt let it destroy her. it empowers her to fight on & find her fellow senshi and princess. BECAUSE SHE’S AMAZING & I JUST LOVE HER.
Why they are the worst
i guess because she’d be so incredibly quick to sacrifice herself for usagi or one of the others, which would just break a million hearts.
a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
oh, hmm.
that she’s boy crazy??? i think this is more of a 90s anime troupe kind of thing but i dont see it in her true self. this might be the diehard reinako shipper in me talking though lmao
a non-canon fact (that should be)
that minako & usagi hook up, probably even repeatedly. despite my eternal love for usamamo and reinako, i can without a doubt say these two girls have a major crush on one another.
a piece of advice I would give them
dont prank rei more than once a day or else she’ll probably set you on fire.
Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence that it appears in
also from TNER part 2:
1. “dark”
Over the decades, the Black Drawing Room had become the lair of a carnivorous escritoire that nobody could get near; an Axminster carpet had devoured one of Tonks’ own shoes and then got horrible indigestion, which resulted in a synthetic leather sick-up that had all but glued it to the floor; and it was hard to get rid of all the nasty Dark Arts stuff without someone asking where it was coming from.
2. “long”
The group clustered round the long, pitted, ancient table were chattering amongst themselves as they waited for the meeting to start, but a hush fell across them as Snape glided into the room like the family spectre.
3. no “bowl,” though there should be in the next bit i write!
