So, I hope you all enjoy this piece of Color-Clash RuffPuff Couples fan artwork and soak up that Brickercup, Butchubbles, and Blossoomer goodness. December 17, 2010. The City of Townsville. Townsville High. 18-year-old Brick, 17-year-old Buttercup, 18-year-old Butch, 16-year-old Bubbles, 18-year-old Boomer, and 17-year-old Blossom were in their senior year in High School or to put it more simply in the twelfth grade. This marked Team Xtreme’s final High School Winter Ball before heading off to college in the form of Townsville University in September 2011 and as you can tell the theme for this Winter Ball is The 1970’s. We see Brick and Buttercup in leather vests, long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and boots to show their brand of classiness and toughness as a couple, Butch and Bubbles showing some skin and looking rather sexy as a couple, having a bit of bling on their bracelets, spiked boots for Butch, platform shoes for Bubbles, and, as a lovely bonus the Joy and the Laughter, a diamond-shaped pale sapphire navel ring, and Boomer and Blossom in large T-shirts, golden lockets, headbands, swanky long pants, and suede shoes. Let us also not forget that Boomer and Blossom have the whole Love and Peace philosophy going in their attire, what with Boomer’s endearing, adorable nature making him a fitting candidate for love and Blossom’s brand of diplomacy and savviness making her totally ideal for peace. As one can expect from these lovely couples, their evening before the Christmas break was, in a way, really groovy. I hope you all enjoyed this and may 2019 be an epic year for all of you.

Brian Matthew Green: Tenacious Triple Threat drawn by me

Thweatt aka thweatted, Jasmine aka JazUmiN13, and Michelle aka PoweredButtercup10 who celebrated their birthdays some weeks ago.

This is also dedicated to all of the Blossoomer shippers out there. So, I hope you all enjoy this.   We find ourselves in Townsville in the year 2028, where we see Brian Matthew Green growing up from being a loving, sweet, and adorable young lad to a charismatic, charming, and exceptionally well-rounded seventeen-year-old young man. Even though Bloom, BJ, and Beau are in the twelfth grade, Brian preferred to not be accelerated when he was in the first grade, since he wanted to make sure that he had a stable career path when he came of age. As a seventeen-year-old that does not stop him from having such great ambitions to go to the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, the Juilliard School or the Tisch School of the Arts in New York, Guildhall, Royal Academic of Dramatic Art or London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts in England, Harvard University with his desired Bachelor’s programs being musicology, theater, opera, musical theater, and the performing arts. Moreover, Brian even has his eye on performing at the Metropolitan Opera House, the Chicago Lyric Opera Theater, the San Francisco Opera House, the Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne, the Salzburger Festspielhaus, the Wiener Staatsoper, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Globe, and/or the Carnegie Hall to perform as either a French horn player or even an opera singer or an actor, who also has his eyes on Hollywood. While Beau is mainly savvy in music, Brian expands his boundaries to theater, film, and television acting, thus making him a well-rounded and ambitious performer. He still has his usual anxieties and jumpiness, but performing whether as an actor or a singer or even playing on the French horn are outlets where his nerves are not only calmed down but his creativity flourishes at an impeccable rate. As a child, he and Beau would always find themselves playing the French horn and the piano respectively in their school assemblies, to the point where their teachers saw so much potential in them going to schools like Juilliard. He even sang in the Townsville Opera’s children’s chorus in various productions like “Carmen”, “Tosca”, “Madama Butterfly”, “La Bohéme”, and “Turandot” just to name a few. He even had the same voice teacher as Beau, the magnificent Giorgio Gregorio Zampieri, who heard in Brian’s voice a stylish tenore leggiero in the making, all thanks to his experience with the French horn, which has contributed so much to how he was able to control his breathing and his phrasing. Being the ambitious teenager that he is, Brian found himself in a couple of vocal competitions. The first one was held in Townsville where he sang “Ecco ridente in cielo” from Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia, “Loin de son amie” from Halévy’s La Juive, and “Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schön” from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte and he won the Golden G-Clef Award for young singers and musicians at the tender age of sixteen. A year later, he found himself in New York, where he found himself in the Maria Callas Bel Canto Competition for Young Classical Singers, the very competition Beau got himself into as well. There, Brian sang his three aforementioned opera arias as well as “Morgen” by Richard Strauss. He even ended up winning the Maria Callas Bel Canto Award for Young Classical Singers. Outside of his musical endeavors, Brian also has a few acting stints, as he got himself into a few film shoots as well as star in a few leads in some television shows all while still being a teenage boy. For that, he would not only practice his opera arias, but also learn his lines from play and movie scenes that he loves so much. Brian has such an affinity with Shakespeare that he practically has his favorite monologues thoroughly memorized and internalized within a matter of three days. Aside from doing film and television shoots, Brian aims to also do more voiceover work for Audible and even for anime. Brian even speaks fluently in French, Italian, German, Russian, Czech, Hungarian, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, and Tagalog to the point where he wants to travel all over the world so that he can perform in different languages. Beau and Brian are very close as brothers to the point where they confide in each other when the curtains close. They would perform duets on their musical instruments and even sing duets for two tenors from the operas by Monteverdi, Rossini, Gluck, Händel, and Haydn just to name a few and even sing some chamber music pieces, show tunes, jazz numbers, K-Pop, J-Pop, and Enka, thus strengthening their passion and love for music as a sign of their fraternal love for each other. Just because Brian has found success in music, theater, film, and television at such a young age does not mean that he has to skimp out on his studies. As a matter of fact, he is an ace in English, Spanish, French, German, Latin, theater, soccer, music, history, biology, mathematics, sociology, and political science to the point where he has averages ranging from 96 to 99%. Sure, at times, the burden of both academics and professional desires tend to get to him. Nonetheless, he is not one to wallow in self pity and he really enjoys balancing all of these academic and extracurricular activities, thus finding the joy and passion in each of these activities. Brian’s passion for the performing arts has gotten him so…

Movie Rehab: Snow White and the Huntsman

This movie is one of the closest Grimm Adaptations that manages to keep some of the darker tones from the original Snow White story. It also features some great action scenes, stunning visuals and some seriously underrated acting performances from Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart. The year has come to an end so I chose to end it on a bang.
