PIMPING TIME.

2008-10-01T02:47:08Z

So a new MSB community has been started (like JUST NOW) called Oh No They Didn't - Magic School Bus, so if you want some MSB lulz and all that...

fic.

2008-08-06T07:58:33Z

So I thought I'd go ahead and self-pimp an in-progress fic of mine. I don't know how many of you read the MSB fics on FF.net, but I thought I'd go ahead and pimp myself, lol.

Title: Glitzy Intrigue and a Thing Called Family
Pairings: Arnold/Phoebe, Ralphie/D.A., Mr. Terese/Dr. Tennelli, Tim/Janet, Arnold/Wanda, Phoebe/Seedplot, Carlos/Keesha
Rating: Strong T
Era: Post-Canon
Warnings: Language, violence, adult situations...nothing graphic though
Status: In-Progress
Summary: Power, wealth, love, glorious extravagance...the Perlstein family has it all. Follow these Walkerville sons and daughters whose lives revolve around oil, family, and power, and how their lives affect those around them. Subtle crossover and tribute to the 1980's primetime drama Dallas.

CHAPTER ONE HERE.

So if you like dynastic stories, glitz, glamor, and fun times with Janet... :D

Reviews and constructive criticisms are always welcome.

p.s.- my layout is based on the fic.

art rec.

2008-07-10T17:46:53Z

So I got a commissioned work from divinedesires at dA, and what else would I ask for but Arnold and Phoebe? Since I'm also kind of obsessed with the video game Bully, I wanted them in Bullworth uniforms from the game. I think Arnold came out so absolutely PERFECT, hehe. He's so how I picture him when older, and I had to have him in the game's expensive, luxury uniform, the Aquaberry vest.

Here is the art.

I had to share this wonderful little piece with y'all. :D

Carlos/DA song <3

2008-05-03T06:40:42Z

i've been listening to this song and i found it might fit Carlos/DA or Carlos/Phoebe. my comments in italics. if you end up with a weird file like i did, just open it up with the music player.

here it is. enjoy!

"Boy Like You"

You say I'm your best friend     check.
You know that you can count on me
You say I'm nice, I'm funny
Is that why I'm not the girl of your dreams?
You say that I'm the only one who understands you
But I'm the one on Friday night with nothing to do
I don't think so

Hey I got somethin' to say
We both know that you been cheating off
my paper since the seventh grade     VERY Carlos/DA. switch it to 3rd grade and we'll be right on track.
You know you do it
Hey don't go walkin' away
This is for every girl alive who's ever fallen for a boy like you

I hate your call waiting
'Cause I know you're on the line with her
You click back, it's so frustrating
'Cause you don't remember where we were
You ask what movies that I've seen
You wanna know what's good
But she's the one who gets to go when I should
I don't think so

Hey I got somethin' to say
I saw her wearing the black jacket that I gave you on Christmas Day
You said you lost it
Hey don't go runnin' away
This is for every girl alive who's been bawlin' for a boy like you

I'm just the fool
That you can kick araound
The loser who picks you up when you are down
The girl in glasses who sits next to you     could be interpreted as lab goggles. and they would sit together.
Who always tells you that you're great    this line couldn't fit unless it's Carlos/Phoebe. lol!
And fixes all your big mistakes
And when she goes and breaks your heart
I get the call
You fall apart
I don't think so

Hey I got somethin' to say
Someday you'll realize I was the one by then it's gonna be too late
You'll be sorry
Hey don't give me that face
This is for every girl alive who's heart's been broken by a boy like you
This is for every girl alive who's heart's been broken by a boy like you

Loser

two fics.

2008-04-03T18:29:08Z

Two A/P fics I did for fanfic100.

Title: Too Much Fun
Fandom: Magic School Bus
Pairing: Arnold/Phoebe
Prompt: 002. Middles
Rating: R for strong language and general teenage-ery
Word Count: 3,562
Summary: After six months of being an actual couple, Phoebe starts to wonder if she wasn't just Arnold's rebound. Arnold wants to prove her otherwise. With appearances from the rest of the gang.
Note: I'm setting this in 2004 because if you go by the second season of the show, it would make them 16-17 during the spring of 2004 (I like to go by the second season of MSB because it makes them my age, but yeah, I digress). Enjoy.

( fic. )

Title: Becoming a Perlstein
Fandom: Magic School Bus
Pairing: Arnold/Phoebe
Prompt: 048. Diamond
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,087
Summary: This wasn't how Arnold planned on proposing.
Note: This was inspired by the first Mitch/Lucy storyline on Dallas, except it's "rich" boy/"poor" girl where Mitch and Lucy were the opposite. In the episode before Mitch and Lucy get married he goes on about hating the Ewing name, to which Lucy points out is her name too. Mitch tells her it wouldn't be if she married him...I think you see where I'm going with this, lol.

( fic. )

2008-03-25T05:49:11Z

Hello, all. So I staked my claim in Arnold/Phoebe at fanfic100, so I'm pimping my table in case any one is interested. My "Big Damn Table" can be seen HERE. Bolded leads to the stories, and so far, I just have the one. Feel free to give your constructive criticism. :D

If you want to stake a claim and join the challenge for other MSB ships, go for it. The fandom could use some more love. :D

9. Try as I may, nothing will make this funnier.
10. He has a chalice and everything.
11. Phoebe has this uncanny understanding of the facts of life, as demonstrated by her poking a phallic object in a hole. Freud is having a field day.

Ships, Songs, & Lyrics

Arnold/Tiffany
First crush, first love.
"He'll always remember her as the older girl in the other class he couldn't help but stare at. He would never imagine she would give him his first real kiss on the lips, and even though their relationship was short lived, Tiffany would always hold a special place in Arnold's heart."

1. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" - The Beatles
Oh please say to me
You’ll let me be your man,
And please say to me,
You’ll let me hold your hand,
Now let me hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.

2. "First Date" - Blink 182
When you smile, I melt inside
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you
I'm jealous of everybody in the room
Please don't look at me with those eyes
Please don't hint that you're capable of lies
I dread the thought of our very first kiss
A target that I'm probably gonna miss

Let's go
don't wait
this nights almost over
honest, let's make
this night last forever
forever and ever

3. "The Same Boy You've Always Known" - The White Stripes
You're looking down again
and then you look me over
we're laying down again
on a blanket in the clover
the same boy you've always known
well I guess I haven't grown
the same boy you've always known

Think of what the past did
it could've lasted

Arnold/Wanda
More than 'just friends'.
"Wanda had been one of his best friends since preschool. What Wanda wanted, Wanda got. She eventually wanted Arnold, and she eventually got him. They had a passionate relationship, but sadly, it fizzled. The two realized they missed their old friendship and decided to rebuld it."

4. " You Talk Way Too Much" - The Strokes
Now we're out of time
I said it's my fault
It's my fault

Can't make good decisions
It won't stop
I can't stop

Give me some time, I just need a little time
Give me some time, I just need a little time
Give me some time, I just need a little time
Give me some time, I just need a little time

You talk way too much
You talk way too much
It's only the end
It's only the end...hey.

5. "Love's Not A Competition (But I'm Winning) - Kaiser Chiefs
I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard it, all before,
The trick is, getting you to think that all this, was your idea,
And that this, was everything you've ever wanted, out of here,

Love's not a competition but I'm winning.

6. "Drink To Me, Babe, Then" - A.C. Newman
Come to me, please, all these years fall through,
Through the cracks and now this perfect view,
On the upside, both sides win.
On the downside, we buy, we pull through,
Through the pouring choices rich kids choose,
On a landslide, you ride in.

Drink to me, babe, then.
Think of me, babe, then.
Lady, we both know what the scores don't show,
Drink to me, babe, then

Arnold/Dorothy Ann
Platonic love to romantic love.
"Never would Arnold imagine that the girl who first put her lips on him would be one of the most special girls in his life. Dorothy Ann had always been his good friend. He thought he would never see her than just that. She was always considered 'Carlos' girl', but after their hard break-up, she came to Arnold. He realized then he should have tried to be with her romantically. She was his first love in the sense he easily said 'I love you' to her, but then he realized that it wasn't a pure, strong love they felt for each other. Their break-up was easy, and they remained close friends."

7. "I Should've Been After You" - Rooney
I can tell by your shakin' hands that you want me
So baby, don't hold back
Go with the flow
I know it looks bad 'cause I kissed all your girlfriends
But that's what you get when you live in a small world

It's hard to look at me when you know where my lips have been
Forget, it makes things easier
Forgive me and let me in

You set me up with your girlfriends
But none of them worked out for me
I'm startin' to realize lately
I should've been after you
I should've been after you

8. "Kiss You Better" - Maxïmo Park
I know the night has reached that stage again,
where I never wanna see my home.
I know that you'll provide the brains,
but who'll provide the brawn?

And if it comes down to me and him,
you know I'd kiss you better.
I kept the message that you sent to me,
there with me.

9. "Killing Lies" - The Strokes
First you're worried
Then you're hurried
Don't think that everything
is gonna stay the same
That's impossible.
Before I let you go
Let me look at you
Don't you worry
You will help me

Killing lies, killing lies,
Killing lies, killing lies

Oh yes I noticed you
You are a friend of mine

Arnold/Phoebe
Unrequited...until he noticed her.
"Phoebe Terese was always that weird new kid he knew liked him. She was awkward, quiet, and shy, but something about her drew him to her. He realized she was easy to talk to, easy to approach, so out of the blue, he decided to ask her out to a movie. After he managed to get her to relax, their conversations went on for what seemed like forever. Because he wasn't physically attracted to her at first, it allowed him not to be distracted when they would talk. After a while, Arnold realized she was the one. The awkward weird girl became his first real, true love."

10. "Green Eyes" - Coldplay
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand

The green eyes
Yeah the spotlight
Shines upon you

And how could
Anybody
Deny you?

I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you

11. " I Will Follow You Into the Dark" - Death Cab For Cutie
You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
Because we'll hold each other soon

12. "Fade Together" - Franz Ferdinand
So far away
Come on I'll take you far away
Let's get away
Come on let's make a get away

Once you have loved someone this much
you doubt it could fade
despite how much you'd like it to
God how you'd like it, you'd like it to fade

Let's fade together
Let's fade forever

I've been promising this for a while now...

I've been promising lovebars for a long time, and with over 50% of the episodes capped, I decided to give it a shot. Sadly, no Janet-ships are represented, but I did do ones I don't like. All heterosexual pairings that don't involve Janet or the Friz...

Two random things to get us started...

Arnold ships:

Ralphie ships:
