Robbie gave the best massages. He’d walk on my back and thighs and even my calves and it was so relieving.

We gave up on me giving him massages. Seems like no matter how gently i tried to be, he’d flinch and cry out and tell me to “stop! stop! stop!” Instead, I got him a massage cushion that fit his chair and i would give him soothing back rubs.

You know how when you’ve done a good deed, you feel really good inside and the other people involved feel really good too? My crystal fed off that kind of positive energy. Not that it effected me. I was so dang happy and so full of positive energy, there was more than enough for both of us. For the crystal, seeking out those in trouble was like seeking out food. It’d find the trouble, I’d rush over and save them, everyone cheered and felt wonderful and my chest would swell with happiness and positive energy and my crystal thrived!

The crystal also helped me with taking care of myself, ie: flashing red when my energy was low or when i was in a sugar meltdown, and flashing a brilliant white when my energy levels were at their peak. Biting into a sportscandy made me feel so wonderful, i’d get so excited i’d have to express it with moving, and ofc the crystal liked this too. It was as bright and happy as I was.

Robbie had this magical ability where when he was in his disguise he’d have this thing going on where no matter how obvious it was that it was him, when our brains almost figure it out, whatever it was he casted would cause our minds to fall short of the answer.

Stephanie had the greatest tolerance to this type of magic. I think it had to do with her magical race being closely related to Robbie’s, so a bit of detecting and getting close enough to the answer was enough for the spell to break on her mind, but not anyone else’s. While it was still possible for others to break the spell this way, that was rare and took a lot more mental strength. So Stephanie often was the one who figured it out, if Robbie’s disguise didn’t fall apart on its own first.

The disguise would fall apart at the same time the spell did. Not sure which caused the other. But, that’s how that all worked.

Not even I was immune to that.

Just a few things i remembered about my life as Sportacus:

-I carried wet wipes with me everywhere bc all that flipping meant touching the ground a lot and while it didn’t bother me, I knew it’d bother other people and it was for the best anyways. - I had two pockets on the inside of my vest. That’s where I kept the wet wipes. I didn’t carry much else. -The airship talking more was suggested by my technician when he was working on it one day and I was rambling about my personal life and I mentioned I was kinda feeling lonely sometimes. He added a personality upgrade to it that matched its past behavior. I loved it so much jalksdf. It was a lot of fun! He also suggested trying dating. Not that I hadn’t dated before. A long time ago. There were just other things that were way more important to me. Plus, there was no one in lazytown to date. Almost no one, that is. -One thing I loved about wearing a hat all the time was that I didn’t have to spend time combing my hair. Later on when Robbie and I were dating, he loved to complain about that while he took his time brushing my hair. It wasn’t uncommon for there to a knot or two. It irritated him that I couldn’t care less, so when i’d snack while he was working on them, he’d tug at it and i’d spill a little water on myself or chomp down on air instead of the apple. And then he’d laugh at how dorky I was. asjldf (One time I bit my tongue and he had a field day with that!!) -After Robbie retired from villainy, he became a caretaker for the elderly (which lazytown was mostly comprised of). It satisfied his need of being wanted. And it wasn’t uncommon to see him sitting with a small group of them over jello and cards, catching up on the latest gossip, just like how he loved to spy on the kids ajlkshdaf. It was all harmless. -He’d organize this big grocery list to go shopping for those who couldn’t and he always had me tag along to help!

I was never adept in magic. That was usually the case with sport elves. It was like, we forwent having lots of magical ability for having superior physical strength and agility and speed and other physical feats. We weren’t completely without magic and some (ex pabbi) were born with stronger magical skills than others. I had practically no magic. Just a few mundane things like slicing an orange into fourths with just one chop.

My airship, however, was way more magical than I ever was! Someone made it for me, a technician friend of the family. He was incredible! You’ve seen the control box before. It’s almost as complex as the human brain! And then all the magic that was built into it was just as complex!

Every 80 years, I’d take it to him for a routine check up. The whole check up lasts anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months depending on his schedule. One of the things he checked for was making sure none of the magic wore off. The cool thing was, there was a certain converter-piece that made it so my pedaling charged not just the electricity but also the magic required for the rest of the airship to function. It also worked when I wasn’t manually pedaling, but not to the same degree. Really, that was the most crucial part for keeping the airship functioning. He’d go in and i’m not sure if he’d cast a spell or if there was this magical spray or fuel that he put in it ajkshdf.. I’m not sure what he did but i’ve seen him do all of those things while working on the airship.

You know, Robbie lived around 240 years. I lived around 820. I was in my 320s when he was in his 120s, so after he passed away I had to live another 380 years without him.

As cliché as it all sounds, I never loved anyone like I loved him, before or after.

But you know, some time after, Stephanie approached me and I was amazed at how young she looked for her age. It didn’t add up. And then it hit me. She was half fae. She had so many years ahead of her. I took comfort in that. I had someone from that era, my golden years, still with me. It wouldn’t fade into the wash of memories and dreams just yet.

We got to talking and reminiscing. She told me how much of an inspiration i had been to her and I told her it was mutual. She said she was satisfied with her career as a dancer and wanted to start a new chapter of her life. She asked me to train her. She wanted to be No. 11. And that brought life back into me. It was a new chapter for both of us. A new era.

Mmm, I feel the love sickniss for Robbie, rn... All this Christmas stuff is stirring my emotions. You know that’s when I finally made all the connections and my heart consciously dived into love for him. It helped me make sense of it all when Robbie screamed “I love you, Sportaloser!!” right in my ear before running away. (I had upset him.)

I love Christmas! I love the holiday season! And I love Robbie Rotten!! 💙💙💙
