Staring at the Sun A short tale by StrangerAtaru There wasn't a girl that seemed as untouchable as Shideh. She just seemed too perfect, almost like a female that couldn't even exist even if a man or woman could dream of her. Every straight male wanted her; every straight female envied her, and every queer female saw her as a conquest. But Shideh was unconquerable; no one was ever able to ask her out on a date. It was almost like she didn't even really exist...even though she was right there in front of everyone. And it was like she had the epitome of every sexual fantasy all rolled into one: long black hair, smooth olive skin, long lashes with dark peering eyes, a cute small nose and small thick lips; her torso was slender and curved packing a huge rack always hidden by button-down shirts and sweater vests; her nails were manicured and perfect; she had the tightest butt that jiggled but still curved making people stare at her every move; and long legs she showed off in loose
(The commercial begins with a simple-looking nerdgirl; she's in a school uniform with black pigtails and glasses as she looks over a book she got in the mail) "Girl": (looks at the book) I can't believe that I was able to get a first-edition copy of "Peter and Wendy" for such a modest price online! (she pulls it out and hugs it) It's such a bargain and I can't believe I can finally relive it. I always consider Wendy one of my favroites so perhaps I... (Without warning she sneezes, realizing how dusty the book is) "Girl": Though they could have done a better job getting rid of this old dust. I mean shouldn't they have better maintenance of this sort of thing? (We unknowingly see the dust "sparklle" but she ignores it as she goes into a laundry room to pull for something) "Girl": Well I may as well go to get something to help clean this a bit; no chemicals but I can get a rag or so from the bag up on the shelf) (She reaches up...but she's somewhat smaller than she had been. She

The Looney Year - 1/5/24 (Foxy and Roxy!?)
The Looney Year: A Review of all 1000+ Classic Looney Tunes (1929-1969) in one Year By StrangerAtaru With Appearances by...Friends. 1/5/24: 13. Lady, Play Your Mandolin! Director: Hugh Harman/Rudolf Ising Released: 8/2/31 So let's set the scene: when Leon Schlesinger started making short subjects for Waner Brothers in 1930, it wasn't just the Looney Tunes to compete with the likes of Fleischer and Disney. They also wanted to get into the "musical presentation" market of having Warner's growing musical library and abilities in making sound films to compete with the "sing-along" market basically cornered by Paramount, mainly due to the Fleischer Brothers and their "bouncing ball". And so he created the "Spooney Melodies", where musical stars sang songs for six minute ancient "music videos" of the era...and...it didn't go anywhere. So instead they took a different approach: a second series of cartoons to go alongside the Looney Tunes that would give the studio "Merrie Melodies", in

The Looney Year - 1/1/24 (Bosko Begins!)
The Looney Year: A Review of all 1000+ Classic Looney Tunes (1929-1969) in one Year By StrangerAtaru With Appearances by...Friends. 1/1/24: Introduction: My personal history when it comes to animation is rather varied, more varied than what I end up tending of talking about due to pop culture relevance and the issues of the Internet and whatnot. For the longest time, I've been talking a lot of Disney; but that's due to how well marketed and connected Disney is with it's product. It's easy to sell Disney since they have a huge commercial empire alongside making memorable shorts and movies; and with Disney+ a thing, it just became easier to be able to look everything up and do what you need to and to feel more connected. But to be honest...I was more a fan of Warner Brothers animation growing up. Don't get me wrong: Disney had it's place as did many other things like many of the action and comedy shows. But I was probably someone who connected and bonded much better and faster and
(The commercial begins with a thin but slightly tanned Philippino girl wearing a school outfit of a white blouse and long light-blue skirt with black leather shoes; her hair is braided long and black behind her as she is talking on a cell phone to someone) "Girl": Yes, grand mama, I got your present! It's a lovely ring; where did you get it? "Voice": Picked it up from this online store. They say it's lucky for girls like you. "Girl": Well I am happy but...(hears a bell) Oh, I'm going to be late for school; how am I going to get there? "Voice": Just stay "malakas", I'm sure you'll get there. Caption: "Malakas" = "Strong" in Filipino. "Girl": "Malakas". (The ring suddenly grows and the girl hunches over as she doesn't know what's going on) "Girl": Granny...I don't feel so good... "Voice": Malaya, what's going on? "Girl": I think my stomach... (She lifts her shirt and sees her stomach is firmer, becoming much more fit than she ever saw before) "Girl": (shocked)
(The commercial begins with a photo of two girls; a small cute blonde cheerleader and a more conservative brunette nerd with bun hair and a skirt and blouse; the cheerleader seems bustier than the conservative dressed girl as we hear a cute voice narrating) "Cute Voice": So I made this bet with this other girl from the rival school; I told her that I'd be the biggest hit at the Christmas party and that she could use the same stuff I use if she takes me up on it. (We see a photo of the conservative girl just taking the "challenge" and using it as a bookmark) "Cute Voice": Obviously she wasn't serious about it so I knew this was a breeze. (We see the cheerleader start using weights and drinking "RHoM" liquid as she starts working out on weights) "Cute Voice": I knew I had a month to prepare so obviously I got right to work. (We see her wearing a towel as she looks "broader" and on a scale as her face looks giddy) "Cute Voice": And obviously the results just piled on rather

And now, a public service announcement from Strange Cafe: (The camera cuts to Imani with a vial in her hand bubbling as Erica Adams sits down wondering what she's even doing there) Imani: Good day to you all. As the Halloween season approaches, it is best to know and understand the dangers of the season, particularly in the costumes you could be wearing for when you go trick-or-treating. Erica: (confused) Wait...Halloween...trick-or-treating...look, I was trying to get to a gig in Fredrickton and... Imani: (interrupts) There are many monsters one can dress up as and they're all easy and well intentioned without any issues. You want to be a vampire, just get some white facepaint and some platic fangs and you're good to go. Erica: Actually that wasn't going to be my Halloween... Imani: For a mummy, just get a roll of toilet paper and you're set. Frankenstein, some bolts to the neck. And the Wolf Ma... (Heather walks by as if on patrol making her pause) Imani: Yeah...maybe we
