A Closing Song (or That’s The End of Braindead)

The final song wrapping up all the loose ends from Braindead Season 1

Some things got much better while some other things got worse.

Lets tie up some loose ends while the space bugs all disperse.

All the head explosions notwithstanding, mostly everything turned out alright!

Laurel’s leaving politics, she’s tired of D.C.

Some day she might finish her dream documentary.

She and Gareth got a place together, they kiss and canoodle every night!

[How many kids do you want?

Zero, why, how- how many kids do you want?

The normal amount, like five or six?]

Red made some mistakes but never really paid the price, 

Stayed on as a senator, got re-elected twice.

Easily distracted, not intelligent as such,

Turns out having half a brain just doesn’t matter all that much…

[Well, I’m not a scientist…(am I?)

(No sir)

So… I can’t tell you a hundred percent whether global warming is real, but, a… doggy woggy. There is doggy woggy. Why can’t I have a doggy woggy…? What I mean is that there are those who believe that global warming is a conspiracy put forward by the Chinese… You tell me.]

Same for all the senators, who needs a perfect brain?

Powerful and stupid but at least they’re not insane.

Somehow everything still holds together, even when it’s running off the rails.

Dean lost something precious and it really took a toll.

He’d gladly trade his Parkinsons for partial mind-control,

So the ending isn’t perfect, but at least there’s love and kindness when it fails.

[*groans “help”*]

You can vote your conscience, you can vote to make a point, 

Or cut and dry your principles and smoke them like a joint.

Though we rarely rise to be the best that we can be, 

Just stand up and be a citizen, it’s called democracy.

Luke is forced to leave but got a better offer right away,

Wall Street firm has slightly fewer principles, and higher pay.

Laurel came to help him right before another market crash,

When everyone was long on risk and dumbly sadly short on cash.

But that’s another story that they’ll write someday I bet.

And as for all the space bugs, well so far nobody’s seen them (yet)…..

There was one of those hyperspecific polls that had an option like “your grandfather told you war stories that he never told anyone else” and now I feel like I have to tell the story about how a spider saved my grandpa’s life in WWII and how my family doesn’t kill spiders because we owe our existence to that One Single Spider

Madeleine Cookie I recently reinstalled Cookie Run Kingdom and it is so much fun to play. I always wanted to give some of the cookies a human interpretation, so here is my take on Madeleine! Do you play CRK?

What is... crack?

While the name does come from the illegal substance, when it comes to fiction it refers to a scenario that is so bizarre and basically implausible in canon that it seems like the author must have been under the influence while writing it.

Crack fics are intentionally absurd and ridiculous and often they are also humorous. They are not supposed to present actual theories about canon stories, but a test on how far someone could go with the source material. It's not easy to create a well-written crack fic, even though it can be easy to write crack.

There is also the possibility of crack pairings (also named Crackships). They are pairings that are completely out there, often not even from the same universe and they make people ask themselves, how anyone could look at those characters and make them end up with each other.
