(Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s cave, which is made into their gym complete with weights, a punching bag, and other primitive-looking exercise equipment. Inuyasha lifts a barbell made of metal, while Ayame lifts a dumbbell made of oak wood. Inuyasha and Ayame stop their lifting and put their weights down, as they notice their audience.) Inuyasha and Ayame: Oh, hi. Inuyasha: Name’s Inuyasha. Ayame: And I’m Ayame. Inuyasha: And welcome to our abode. Ayame: We got something to ask you, dear viewers. Inuyasha: Do you wanna build muscles like these? (Inuyasha flexes his biceps and lets out a fierce, feral roar.) Ayame: Do you feel the need to better your overall combat prowess so that you can show your enemies who’s the boss? Inuyasha: Do you wanna get physical no matter what the situation? Ayame: Well, folks, you’ve come to the right place because our cave home is a gym for anyone who wants to train like a warrior with us. Inuyasha: We’ve been married for eighteen years and I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful and beautiful wife like Ayame. Ayame: And I couldn’t have asked for a stronger, more powerful, and more awesome husband like Inuyasha. Inuyasha: Plus, we have seven amazing kids that we have been raising to the best of our abilities as parents by making sure that they stay as strong, healthy, and determined as the fighters they are. Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, Kaito, Momoko, and Maya (from afar) : Hey, Mom and Dad! Ayame: And here they are now! (Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, Kaito, Momoko, and Maya excitedly enter the cave. Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, and Kaito playfully wrestle, box, and flex their muscles with Inuyasha while Momoko and Maya high-five and hip bump Ayame, therefore culminating in a huge family group hug.) Inuyasha: See, what did we tell you? Ayame: We’re one happy and proud family. Inuyasha: Say, honey, shall we let the kids introduce themselves? Ayame: Certainly, darling. Inuyasha: All right, kiddos, show the audience at home who you are and what you’re capable of! Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, Kaito, Momoko, and Maya: Yes, sir, dad! (Masataka and Masaya step forward.) Masataka: Hi! I’m Masataka. Masaya: And I’m Masaya. (Masataka and Masaya raise their arms and flex their biceps. Simultaneously, they make their pecs bounce all while they unleash a thunderous roar.) Masataka and Masaya: And we’re the muscle gods you do not wanna mess with. (Kenta and Keita step forward.) Kenta: Dudes, if you think that’s something… Keita: Then check this out. Masataka and Masaya: Whatever you say, bros. (Masataka and Masaya give a respective noogie to Kenta and Keita.) Kenta: Hi, I’m Kenta. Keita: And I’m Keita. (Kenta and Keita also raise their arms and flex their biceps. After that, they do the crab version of the most muscular pose.) Kenta and Keita: And we’re always ready to rumble. (Kaito steps forward and gives a high-five and a huge hug to Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, and Keita.) Kaito: Greetings, viewers, my name is Kaito. (Kaito flexes his biceps and then flexes his lats.) Kaito: And just because I may seem nice does not mean that I don’t have the body to pummel my enemies. Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, and Keita: All right, little bro! Woohoo!!! Kaito: And I couldn’t have asked for more awesome big brothers like Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, and Keita. (Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, and Keita all hug Kaito, as Momoko steps forward.) Momoko: Hey, everybody, my name’s Momoko! (Momoko does a jab, a high kick, and is in her fighting position.) Momoko: And just because I’m pretty, does not mean I don’t know how to kick your butt. (Maya then high-fives Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, Kaito, and Momoko and hugs all of her siblings.) Maya: Hello! I’m Maya. (Maya raises her right arm, turns around, and forms a fist.) Maya: And I may be small and the youngest, but I can surely pummel anyone with pride. Inuyasha and Ayame: Well done, kids. Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, Kaito, Momoko, and Maya: Thanks, Mom and Dad. Ayame: Here at our gym we offer a variety of activities. From weightlifting… (Inuyasha, Ayame, Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, Kaito, Momoko, and Maya demonstrate this by effortlessly lifting dumbbells and barbells.) Inuyasha: All right, family. On the count of three, we’re gonna lift all of these barbells up to the heavens. Ayame: Roger that, honey. Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, Kaito, Momoko, and Maya: Yes, sir, Dad! Inuyasha: Okay. One…Two…Three…. (Inuyasha, Ayame, Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, Kaito, Momoko, and Maya lift their heavy barbells as they all let out a thundering triumphant roar to the heavens.) Inuyasha: To circuit training… (Kaito, Momoko, and Maya perform chin-ups, jump rope, sprinting, and punching the punching post.) Kaito: HA! Momoko: YA! Maya: HWAH! Ayame: To kickboxing…. (Momoko and Maya land a barrage of punches and kicks to each other with Ayame acting as the moderator, thus ensuring a fair fight between the two sisters. She even goes out of her way to spar with her daughters.) Ayame: Wow, girls, you are definitely getting better all the time. (Ayame lands a punch to Momoko who dodges it.) Momoko: Thanks, Mom. (Momoko counters it with a roundhouse kick.) Maya: We’re really grateful to have an awesome coach like you. Inuyasha: To wrestling…. (The wrestling ring. Masataka and Masaya snarl at Kenta and Keita, as all four young men are prepared to fight. Inuyasha even snarls at Kaito, who snarls back at him. Inuyasha gives Kaito an overpowering bearhug but he counters it with a bash to his father’s head. Meanwhile, Masataka gives Kenta a full Nelson while Masaya lifts Keita off the ground. Needless to say, all of these wrestling matches are intense. Then comes the big finale.) Inuyasha: All right, boys. It’s time for all of you take your old man down. Now, show me your muscles and I’ll show you mine too. Masataka, Masaya, Kenta, Keita, and Kaito: You got it, Dad. (Masataka and Masaya flex their biceps, while Kenta, Keita,…

LUCIA Il tuo scritto sempre viva la memoria in me terrĆ . EDGARDO Cara! SƬ, sƬ, Lucia. LUCIA, EDGARDO Verranno a te sullāaura I miei sospiri ardenti, Udrai nel mar che mormora Lāeco deā miei lamenti… Pensando chāio di gemiti Mi pasco, e di dolor. Spargi un’amara lagrima Su questo pegno allor. EDGARDO Io parto… LUCIA Addioā¦ EDGARDO Rammentati! Ne stringe il cielo!… EDGARDO, LUCIA Addio… – Verranno a te sull’aure from Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, Libretto by Salvatore Cammarano, First performance on September 26, 1835 at the Teatro di San Carlo, Naples, Italy English Translation: LUCIA On the breeze will come to you my ardent sighs, you will hear in the murmuring sea the echo of my laments. When you think of me living on tears and grief, then shed a bitter tear on this ring. EDGARDO On the breeze will come to you my ardent sighs, you will hear in the murmuring sea the echo of my laments.

This piece of Prinack fan art is dedicated to Brzonan, Chess Albaneze aka squonkhunter, Caroline aka angry-toon-link, DShadou, The-Daffodil, and Caroline aka Ghalise who celebrated their birthdays several days ago, Selena aka PrincessCallyie who celebrated her birthday three days ago, Wesley aka TheDutchAnon who celebrated his birthday yesterday, and PokeySmokey who is celebrating his birthday today. So, I wish you so much love, prosperity, joy, happiness, abundance, greatness, and beauty on your very special days and in your lives as artists and as people. Moreover, I would love to dedicate this piece of Prinack fan art to my father who is celebrating his birthday today. So, Dad, happy birthday to you and thank you for being such a loving, compassionate father to me and my younger siblings. Finally, I would love to dedicate this to all of the Prinack shippers. So, sit back, relax, and soak in that Prinack goodness. Here we have 31-year-old Jack Spicer as Edgardo Ravenswood and 25 going on 26-year-old Princess Morbucks as Lucia Ashton the tragic star-crossed lovers from one of my most favorite Bel Canto operas of all time Gaetano Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor”, which was based on the historical novel “The Bride of Lammermoor” written by Sir Walter Scott. What makes these two fit their respective roles to a T is that they are of extremely affluent families who own a heck load of property and they are young souls in love, even though they are far from being teenagers. Sure, Jack is far from being the most heroic gentleman out there and Princess is not one to constantly go cuckoo, but Jack is sufficiently dashing with a high-flying light lyric tenor voice and Princess is fresh and lovely as a daisy in an external manner and I imagine her belting out high notes like what any lyric coloratura soprano would do. Being someone who loves Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor with a passion, I figured that the love duet “Verranno a te” would suit both Jack and Princess’s lovey-dovey nature so well. This duet is even more exciting when the high notes are also put to great use. Whether it is Lucia hitting the high E-flat and Edgardo hitting the high C or Lucia hitting the high C and Edgardo hitting the high E-flat or both Edgardo and Lucia hitting the high E-flat, there is always something so exhilarating when these two do it. For that, I will gladly display my six favorite Edgardos and Lucias singing this duet with the high notes and those are Carlo Bergonzi and Beverly Sills, Alfredo Kraus and Mariella Devia, Marcelo Alvarez and Stefania Bonfadelli, Paolo Fanale and Desiree Rancatore, Carlos Barcenas and Jessica Pratt, and Francesco Demuro and Nadine Sierra. Bergonzi, Kraus, Alvarez, and Fanale hit the High C. Barcenas and Demuro hit the High E-Flat. All of the aforementioned sopranos from Sills to Sierra hit the High E-Flat.Ā So, do enjoy these selections, as you gaze into this piece of Prinack fan art.

(The sun shines on The City of Townsville.) Narrator: The City of Townsville. February 11, 2019. Team Xtreme Headquarters. It’s a brand new day for our beloved Baron of Berserk who is known for his brute strength, animalistic fierceness, and his interesting brand of being a pretty cool dude. The one and the only 26 going on 27-year-old Butch Green. For this guy, there is nothing more worthwhile than starting the day by keeping his well-shaped muscles toned and sculpted that could rival any Greek god or bodybuilder. (Butch is doing bench presses while wearing green shorts and is topless.) Butch: 991…992…993…994…995…996…997…998…999…1000! All right! (Butch puts the barbell down and he sits erect.) Butch: Yeah, that’s the stuff. (Butch flexes his biceps and grins.) Butch: GRRRRR…..Butch, you are totally in great shape this morning. (High-pitched giggling is heard from the hallway and Butch puts down his mighty arms.) Butch: Could that be my darling wife, Bubbles. (Bubbles enters and she is hiding something behind her back.) Bubbles: You guessed right, my dearest Butchie. (Bubbles leans towards Butch and gives him a kiss with her lipstick mark being imprinted on his cheek.) Bubbles: I have a surprise for you, my great stud of a husband. Butch: What could it be, my sweet wifey-poo. (Bubbles reveals the surprise, as it is a big heart-shaped letter.) Bubbles: Tada! Happy Eight Years of being happily married, Butchie. The kids and I made this especially for you. (Bubbles gives the letter to Butch and he reads it.) Bubbles (voiceover):Ā Happy Eighth Anniversary, Butchie! Much love, your darling wife, Bubbles. Brandon, Buddy, Brea, Betty, Blithe, Bibi, Blaine, and Blair (voiceover):Ā And your awesome kids. Brandon (voiceover):Ā Brandon… Buddy (voiceover):Ā Buddy… Brea (voiceover):Ā Brea… Betty (voiceover):Ā Betty… Blithe (voiceover):Ā Blithe… Bibi (voiceover):Ā Bibi… Blaine (voiceover):Ā Blaine… Blair (voiceover):Ā And Blair. (Butch finishes reading the letter.) Butch: Bubs, baby girl, this is definitely the best wedding anniversary gift ever. Bubbles: I’m so happy you loved it, Butchie. For our anniversary, I prepared breakfast for us and the kids. So, let’s get going to the dining hall. Butch: All right, Bubs. I’ll put on my best shirt then we’ll eat. Bubbles: All right, Butchie. (Bubbles embraces Butch and they had to the dining hall.) Narrator: Awww…This is certainly quite a lovely start to an equally lovely day. So once again, the day is saved. Thanks to Butch and Bubbles. And their offspring Brandon, Buddy, Brea, Betty, Blithe, Bibi, Blaine, and Blair. This piece of Butchubbles fan art is dedicated to Kairah aka Raikaaa, Graceann aka AngelePuquiz, FEN-OSHI, wtfisabluecornmoon, PourSomeSugarOnMeee, Ariel aka PurfectPrincessGirl, DontbeModest, nax aka propimol, and Key aka xKeyToMyHeartx who celebrated their birthdays some days ago. So, I hope you guys had awesome birthdays and equally lovely Valentine’s Days. I wish you a lot of love, joy, happiness, prosperity, abundance, and strength in your lives as artists and as people. This is also dedicated to all of the Butchubbles shippers out there. So, sit back, relax, and soak in that Butchubbles goodness. I know I said this in my final Blossoomer month submission, but I will reiterate anyway. If I did not have Blossutch as my endgame OTP pairing for Butch and Boomubbles as my endgame OTP for Bubbles, Butchubbles would have taken that title with Blossoomer following suit and vice versa. As you can tell, this is a Team Xtreme AU where Butch and Bubbles are a happily married couple and they ended up having not only the sextuplets in the forms of Brandon, Buddy, Brea, Betty, Blithe, and Bibi aka KatyGorl’s and Misse-the-cat’s fan kids but younger twin sons in the forms of Blaine and Blair much like the number of kids Boomer and Blossom have. Butchubbles has always and continues to fascinate me to this very day. I compare this couple to other opposites attract couples like Seiji and Midori from Midori Days and Arashi and Miwako from Paradise Kiss with the classic case of Butch being the strong bad boy with the foul mouth and Bubbles being the sweet ingenue with an edge who has a thing for said bad boy. Sure, it is a trope as old as time, but I cannot help but find this particular pairing so charming and rather fun. In Butch’s and Bubbles’ case, it could start off as playful infatuation on Bubbles’ side and hiding his emotions on Butch’s side and it would eventually grow into feeling really comfortable with each other to the point where Butch can see Bubbles for the outgoing, forgiving, compassionate person that she is and Bubbles could see that side of Butch that is so protective, determined, and unorthodoxly sympathetic, in spite of being really rough around the edges. Truly a yin and yang couple incarnate. To conclude, if there is anyone I would love to thank for making ship Butchubbles more and more, it has to all of you wonderful shippers. You guys know who you are and I am completely grateful for all of you who managed to make me love Butchubbles as an OTP that stands right beside the likes of Brickercup, Blossutch, Blossoomer, Boomubbles, Bunnitch, and Robike. I cannot get enough of the flexibility and the interesting dynamics Butch and Bubbles have with his roughness, toughness, ferocity, and muscle thusĀ being an awesome compliment to her flexibility, lovability, willingness to be open, and sense of being a placid, loving young lady. Therefore, it would be a great pleasure to see Butch and Bubbles live life to the fullest together given how well they could play off of each other that makes them all the more charming and adorable. Well, that is all for now. I hope you all enjoyed this piece of Butchubbles work and I will see you all in the next submission. Take care, everybody.

Two Hispanic operatic aces of the twenty-first century, one who is a young lyric coloratura soprano from Madrid, Spain and is on the cusp of international acclaim and the other who is a light lyric tenor from Hermosillo, Mexico and has been a well-established Bel Canto star for decades, tackle the iconic Scottish star-crossed lovers.
