"I'm just saying Cups," Ashley was saying one morning. "you could atleast put less sugar on your oatmeal since it'll make it taste bad."

"But extra sugar is just the way I like it!" he protested, shaking a small hill of sugar onto his bowl of oatmeal.

"Yeah well, I say it makes it taste, awful." Ashley took a bite of her oatmeal, slightly pouting.

"What do you know about how oatmeal should taste?"

"Practically everything!"

Mugman and Elder Kettle sighed, sharing a tired glance. Ever since Ashley had arrived to stay for as long as she needed at the cottage, she and Cuphead had been bickering worse than cats and dogs, and it was really getting on their nerves. They needed them to stop, and sooner was better than never.

"Alright, alright you two," Mugman said, separating the arguing duo. "I think you two need to somehow settle your differences and atleast try to get along. After all, we're all friends here aren't we?"

Ashley and Cuphead just turned their backs and refused to speak with each other. Mugman sighed and continued, "What you two need is to spend some alone time together, something that'll get you two to know each other better."

"Just anything that'll stop you both from fighting," Elder Kettle said as he put away his empty bowl in the sink.


So I have a bit to talk about again.

Remember what I said a long time ago about this fanfic being made to honor Amphibia's legacy? Well one way I felt I could do that was to not adapt so many episodes of it, so I changed the entire episode overall. Plus I needed to expand on how Ashley and Cuphead's relationship used to be.

What I can tell you though was that "Organized Lightning" was originally gonna be adapted from Amphibia's "Taking Charge", Ashley's favorite show in it was supposed to be an Aphmau series, and I was gonna have electrical stations instead of zapapapedes (gotta have some originality in the adaptations right?).

And about the Aphmau series, the final one wasn't supposed to be one she actually made; it was something I made up. First it was an animated version of her Murder Mystery, then it was the original, then it was an adaptation of the 10 Friends on a Raft Survival, then as you know, I scrapped the whole episode altogether. The title of this new episode is called "Guest and Resident Rivalry," So if anyone has any other good title ideas for this please do tell.

I've been getting myself more focused on Cuphead than RotTMNT lately too, so TGiaTW has been getting more attention. So I might just get it down before or on January 1; but then, who knows? We'll just have to see with my progress.

I also saw the TCS! Season 3 sneak peek and I couldn't help but react to it. It was pretty cool and it made me more hyped for Season 3 which is out right now! There's also another video I made which came from a review my friend Baldwin 17 left on the Episode 7A Sneak Peek and it's kinda silly, but I still like it nonetheless. You guys can go check them out if you'd like, just thought I'd say it here. I'm still mad about the copyright the reaction got though…

Also you can partly blame me for this, but I started getting into yet another animated series; this one being Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja. Getting into it now is quite ironic cause I'm in Second Quarter and second week of ninth grade; imagine how funnier it would be if I had found it during first quarter. At first I had only been getting into it cause of Ben Schwartz voicing the titular character, but now I've also been getting into it with the awesome charm of the series. One bit of it being that the episodes are quite fast sometimes, yet they don't feel rushed at all. The animation is also enjoyable, and the writing is great too. Plus only weekends in and I'm already looking for reader inserts of it. I'm really enjoying it so far, and it's been my newest favorite show to binge next to Lego Monkie Kid.

Also I find it kinda funny that RC9GN has been my newer favorite cause you know? RotTMNT? Ninjas? I might just have to start self-karate training, or even get back into taekwondo.

Oh, and by the way KG, remember that time you told me about the young adult book series "A Twisted Tale"? Well you actually reminded me of it since I actually looked it up years ago, and finally getting to actually read it was pretty fun! I've read the Aladdin, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and the Alice in Wonderland books; and I've been looking for an online free copy of the Frozen book because up to this day, that film is still a classic favorite. They're awesome "What If…" stories and I've been really indulged. They're actually helping a lot with how I'm gonna be writing a few adapted episodes of TGiaTW, cause like I said before, I'll be altering the plots and events of a few episodes to make things a little more interesting. I will give a super early heads up for angst though, which is ironic cause I can't stand reading angst yet I can write a lot of it.

And before we end this chapter, I need help from you guys really bad. I'm stuck on one part of Episode 2B, which is sort of an adaptation of the Amphibia episode "Best Fronds". I'm stuck on the part where Ashley asks the boys if they had any friends before she showed up, and this is what I have so far (I'd ask my assistant but he's probably busy with school right now):

(In the selfie, Ashley was smiling with her tongue out in a cute manner, while the boys' faces made it very evident that they had no idea what they were doing.
"I don't know what's crazier. That you just stole our souls in a tiny box," Cuphead said, handing her phone back to her after he and Mugman had glanced at the selfie. "or that we look so incredible. I gotta say, this friend business is amazing!"
"Didn't you guys have friends before I showed up?" she frowned.
Cuphead thought back to a time when he was trying to .
Mugman thought back to when he
"Kids around here don't really get us," Mugman sighed. Ashley frowned a little then smiled sympathetically.
"Well, hey, they are missin' out," she said reassuringly, giving them both punches on their arms. "Come on."
"So, is punching parta friendship?" Cuphead asked as they continued walking, rubbing his arm.
"Absolutely.")

I would tell you what I have in mind for Cuphead, but you'll probably cringe over it cause I do when I even try to think about it. I know it's weird that I, the author, am asking the readers for help, but I do that a lot so you know…

(And I am now realising that I am so bad at defusing awkward situations)

But anyway! If you guys have any ideas for this scene please let me know cause I have serious writer's block for this episode. Hope y'all are having a good day, afternoon, or night, and stay safe and happy from the Philippines!
