This is from the other night, rewatching the episode, BT Dance.

Notes:

1. This episode is on my honorable mentions of my Fav Episodes list, and for that reason I simply liked this episode overall as it sets up the two main couples of the show: Jo + Kendall & Camille + Logan. Again, I try to focus on relationship-focused plots too much but the convo between K +J while at the dance is somehow retained in my memory for the longest time when I first caught the show back in the day, even though it was very brief. It was a casual way to say we're officially together while Logan was Camille's shining honor on that “horse”. Sadly, we never see Stephanie (Carlos' date) again after this episode, and that's a shame bc she was solid from what we seen from her.

(I realized from the Nickstory wiki page, this episode premiered the same night as the iCarly special, iPsycho, so that was neat.)

2. I too would be interested if Fabio and Momma Knight were an solid item & the Knight siblings would have Fabio as their step-dad.

3. Stuck is the perfect song to play at a school dance, the lyrics are especially fitting for it. Although, it's a little weird to see them actually do full length choreography for a much more calmer and chill love song of this nature. Back in the day, it was an acoustic rendition with Kendall on the guitar. Nowadays, it's performed live with pure vocals and accompanied by James on the piano. I'll explain more on this song once we get into the Favorite Songs list.

Very cute episode of everyone pairing with who they're meant to be with, (except James who inadvertently asked many girls out trying to help Logan.) Win some, lose some.

Join me next time when I try to wrap up season one and properly get into season 2,bc a lot more bonafide & solidified favorites came from that season.

Onwards & upwards! 🌀 🌀

May I ask what your book is about? :]

I am. so glad you asked

basically it's based on the mythos of the four horsemen of the apocalypse; Death, War, Famine and Pestilence. the story is about the four of them existing as a humanoids in the world, how they work, and what the point of them are. They exist as entities not to cause these things, but as a cause and effect of them.

the story follows them fleeing from the government - who in the age of social media have realized that they can't keep the four horsemen a secret anymore, and so they decide to imprison the four for the safety of the public. But since them getting imprisoned would weaken them and take away their autonomy, they resist it. During their flight they think back on their lives and their relationships with each other as they struggle to fight against the disasters that occur while they travel together.

it's my passion project! thank you so much for asking about it:3333

I'm researching and plotting out a novel that will be set in the eastern Mediterranean during the Middle Bronze Age. This means, among other things, familiarizing myself as much as possible with Middle Kingdom Egypt, Minoan Crete, and the various Bronze Age civilizations of Anatolia (Hattians, Assyrians, Hittites...) Why did I choose to do this, you ask? Because I am nuts, that's why.

Doodles of Sammy Allard, the amateur sleuth, and her friends!!

I haven't been motivated to do a lot with Apricotville in a hot minute, as I've been working on more object show oriented projects. Both made and not made by me.

Goals for now are to try and make more art of these little guys and post them here and elsewhere. In time I will be able to write more towards the current draft of story one.

Here it is, the pilot that started it all....

(I had to cut the big performance at the end bc if I edited it in, it would be too big to post. :( but you all know what I'm talking about regardless)

Notes:

1. If you were to tell my younger oblivious 11 y.o self if she had seen this aired pilot for the first time & the first opening segment of our four main guys running away from a group of screaming erratic girls, I would initially think, “oh... they must be really hot s**t, they're already had an adoring crowd chasing them.” But really, they're about to pull a prank and got beaten up for it. (Rightfully so). I respect the fact that guys were made to look and act like fools for certain occasions. Makes them more endearing in a way, learning from their mistakes. The best 5 minute cop out in a pilot like this, well played Scott Fellows.

Reminds me of that one episode of Suite Life when Zach & Cody accidentally poke a hole in the wall and their friends start spying on a girls soccer team next door then all got poked in the eyes. Funny episode BTW.

2. How confident you must be for the very first episode of your show to include two celeb cameos? One from Sway Calloway, Mr. MTV himself, and the another being Nicole Scherzinger from famed girl group The Pussycat Dolls? (BTW: I think the first question I would ask her is what's her haircare routine bc her hair always looks straight out of a Pantene or Garnier commercials, fr.) It's amazing to think about how the Nick executives and the big suits back then somehow had really good faith behind this show to make it the best it could be, so much so that kids would rather miss a day of school on Monday if they missed an episode. For context: I heard that last statement from recent podcast interviews involving Stephen Glickman, and it goes to show just how much effort everyone involved put in, while having fun doing it too. It holds up really well, and you can tell by watching the show in general.

3. Perhaps I'm that easily swayed (and I've said this before in a past post) but thank God for Kendall and I'm forever grateful that he's apart of BTR after the unaired pilot. That audition scene, insulting Gustavo in song & dance while defending his friends is absolutely gold and never gets old. If not for BT Guru in season two (for some reason) and obviously BT Bad Boy, that moment would sold me on him immediately, professionally and personally as my personal standout.

4. Something about the Minnesota scenes just hit for me. Probably bc there's less sound effects in this pilot than the rest of the show, but I would somewhat see the appeal if it was a straight up musical dramedy. I would love to see some scenes of the boys school/home lives pre-BTR, pre-LA, etc., but I guess that's what fanfiction/AO3 is for. (BTW: if anyone had seen or read these kinds of stories, or even do some fanart around that concept, please send them my way, my ask box/DMs is open @btr-project!! I'm not that well-versed into the BTR fanfiction/headcannon universe anyways, so that would really help me fill that void.)

More season one posts/random rumblings coming your way!

Some Port residents! Realistically there should not be this many tall people but ehhh. Fish has crazy good nutrients right?

Was rereading the ol draft (for art purposes) and I had forgotten how absolutely bewildered Ethan is throughout his whole portion. Which, fair enough. He returns home after decades and suddenly his lesbian sister is married to a man, AND he has a daughter he didn’t know about. He’s a good sport about it tho
