Curate, connect, and discover
Idk whether to complete the first chapter of that fanf fic, like I'm motivated to do but I'm not really sure to complete the first chapter or not or how to do the format I put it in so far because I'm trying to do it like a log or maybe news report for a few chapters then cut to morden days and then add basically redo the seasons (they aren't going really change but still kind of just sorta upgrade upon the ideas) and I not really sure whether to add the oc I made just replace the shitty romance plot for the last season and but luckily kinda can't wait for that till last to build upon that
Honestly it's just me second guessing myself " should I do this or should I do that" "am I sure people would like that"
The thing I'm sure on is adding Mr pennycrumb and also adding Lila & Diego's kids and Allison's kid but with kids idk what point to add them but I know that Mr pennycrumb would appear bit later (well the kids would appear later (except claire but she'll just be mentioned mostly not physically there)
I’m tempted to make a group with just lil guys adoption center. Just a lil place to post about the tiny creatures the Ieytd community has adopted. I think they’re rly cute🥰🥰🥰 (And also to keep track of who’s adopted and who’s not)
Of course, I’m gonna need @stellar-collective s persmission cause she created these adorable lil designs
Wait...........
How come I never realized this
"Who lives"
"Who dies"
"Who tells your story."
First tome on discord could you pls explain how this works?
OOC: Well, you asked for it, and it's back! There's still a few things to work out, I need to figure out how to format it to avoid burnout, but the server's ready! So without further ado, welcome back to I Expect You To Date!
The way this works is a mix between a dating sim and freeform rp. I'll usually give the player one or more options to reply with, but they'll almost always also have a [Custom] option, which allows them to write their own response.
Basic plot is, the Agency finally discovered Zoraxis's main base, and there's no one better to send undercover than good old Agent Phoenix. There are 3 Acts in the game, and 8 routes, selected at the end of Act 1- 6 familiar faces and 2 secret routes.
With all that said, I hope you'll join me in foiling Zoraxis's top brass's most dastardly plot yet- remaining single.
Ta-ta, agents! Roz will resume posting soon.
I swear I know I’m gonna cry just by hearing Reggie’s voice
It feels like forever since I was I this fandom 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Spending countless hours of strategizing
finding ways even to shave a second off of my previous time
hands shaking through every action
Speeding through every level
accomplishing 100%
And what is it all for?
I regret nothing
*Pheonix and Pheoness are just there been though their from a different dimension they are ALSO covered in blood*
Pheonix and Pheoness are just there been though their from a different dimension they are ALSO covered in blood Pheoness: *wiping blood of her lips* We can hear someone talking smack from different dimensions. Pheonix: *grinning like a maniac* Hehehe…violence is not the answer, it’s the question. The answer is HECK YEA!
Reginald: Why are you covered in blood?!?
Agent Phoenix: Someone was talking shit about you.
Reginald: ...So you-
Agent Phoenix: I fist fought them in a Wendy's parking lot.
Reginald: *looking at Prism and John, who are also covered in blood* ...and you...
Prism: We helped.
John: We regret nothing.
New thingys in their designs
Reginald: I wanted his design to be more like his canon appearance so I changed some of his features and his clothing
Pheoness: I keep forgetting she has scars, and it’s such a memorable feature for her too! Lotsa scars! Plus canon ace pin:D
Pheonix: I dig leather jacket Pheonix. It makes him look even more rebellious and chaotic than he is!
(Sorry I haven’t been posting on my main blog I’ve been busy doing the ieytd musical stuff
I CANT🥰😍😭
REGGIE IN HIS COMFY OUTFIT😭😍🥰💛
”Wait a second… I think I recognize the main character! What did you say the actor’s name was, Phoenix?”
“John Juniper?”
“Right, I met him once, right before they sent me to the underwater lab! I think I heard something about him dying?”
“That’s what they say. I used to know him, too! If you can still stand me after tonight, maybe I’ll tell you some stories.”
“I wouldn’t mind that.”
When you’re in the spy business, attachments are a liability that your enemies will always find a way to ruthlessly exploit. Everyone knew it, especially the handlers.
But Agent Phoenix had a way of bursting in and making it seem like none of that mattered. Sitting on the couch, listening to them yap on about the movie, Ollie was starting to think that they were onto something.
first ~ prev ~ next
STAWP!
IM TRYING TO REFRAIN MY OBSESSION FOR REGINALD
THIS DOES NOT HELP SHDJSKFNCKSKGKSNCJXJDNCJGKEMCJR
What do you think your Phoenix and Reginald would look like as Zoraxis agents? :3
ooh now this is a fun prompt!! here they are :3
i’d imagine that in this timeline, Reginald grew disillusioned with the Agency’s treatment of their field agents and became a Zoraxis turncoat operative that went by the codename “Rubble.” Zor quickly realized that he was much more valuable as a handler due to his intimate knowledge of Agency operations. he was assigned to a young, nameless operative that no one else would work with due to their extreme disregard for the rules and unusually destructive nature, and after a few missions realized how much of an asset they had the potential to be. he was the one who gave them the nickname Operative Matchstick after he was questioned for sending them into a highly secure building alone, saying that a fuse only requires a single, well-applied match. they succeeded on their mission and blew up the building once they were done, cueing the higher-ups in on what Reginald had realized long ago.
since everyone else refused to work with them, Reginald himself was often recon and backup for Matchstick. reports started coming in of a strange man in a dark trench coat appearing places before vanishing without a trace. within a day or two, everywhere he went, destruction was certain to follow. if he was seen in a building, you could be certain that that very night, it would be burned to the ground. thus, the Agency started calling him The Raven; the black-clad omen of death.
soooooo yeah! the Agency would really have their hands full with these two. let’s be glad that in canon, Agent Phoenix has morals
That’s a nice husband you got there, Juniper.
It would be a shame
if someone were to
steal him😈
somewhat of a sequel to this ... it's a good time for the handler himself to find someone to smooch. unfortunately, for some reason That Fucking Guy is interested in helping him.
So, I had an idea.
If you guys have the time, can you all make a full body of your style of Reginald and send it to me by 9/21 so we can do a big collab for the last day of Handler week?
I really would like it.
Can I join the movie night 🥺🥺?
Ollie did his best to disguise his shock at the invitation. He could somewhat wrap his head around Phoenix being willing to run a mission with him since they’d done it once before (albeit with Ollie having no idea) but this? He certainly wasn’t complaining, seeing as moments ago he thought he might never see Phoenix again due to their infrequent visits to Agency headquarters, he was just confused.
“Reginald’s address is technically classified, so I’ll come get you,” Phoenix was saying as they turned and continued down the hall.
“What’re we watching?”
“It’s Reginald’s choice, so probably a John Juniper flick. Ever heard of him?”
first ~ prev ~ next
good old impulsive Agent Phoenix lol
Just a silly lil pic of an AU where Pheonix and Pheoness actually die. Poor guy🥺
Less than halfway through Handlers week! So I made some assorted cuddlies🥺🥺🥺
I feel like everyone in the Agency has to be like SUPER fit to become an agent, so I feel like this would happen at least once
EOD employee: *makes fun of Reginald’s dad bod* Reginald: 🥺🥺 Pheonix and Pheoness spawning with every single weapon imaginable: Were you saying something about our Handler?
Cue Pheoness, Pheonix, and Reginald platonically cuddling
Solaris snickered as it flung the radiation towards them. Only precious seconds before the radiation crashes into the shuttle and kills them. Quickly, Agent Pheonix uses the robot arm they had control of and did exactly what Commander Solaris told them to do. He caught the barrel before it hit their shuttle. Agent Pheoness was extremely impressed with him, realizing he wasn’t gonna die as easily as she thought. “Good thinking, kid.” She chuckled, ruffling his hair. Pheonix smiled, but he notices a panel outside their shuttle and underneath the Death Engine “You think you can get that open, Pheoness?” He asks. Agent Pheoness smirks “Gladly.” She uses her telekinesis to open the panel. Inside was what could only be the energy source of the Death Engine. They destroy that, they destroy that, they destroy the whole machine. “It’s too big for my telekinesis to destroy!” Pheoness states. Pheonix looks at the radiation in the robotic hand. “What if we use the radiation to override the machine?” Pheonix asks and Pheoness replies with a scoff “That’s both stupid and reckless, anyone with a brain can can figure out that’s a bad idea..” despite her comment, she smirks “Good thing we don’t use ours. Go for it, kid.” Pheonix smirks mischievously, placing the radiation in its core.This causes the core from glowing red to a green hue as another countdown to fire the laser activates. “You idiots have ruined everything! Now all of us are gonna die!” Commander Solaris shouts as mini explosions go off near the core when the machine tries to power up. As the countdown reaches 0, the machine malfunctions, causing the whole shuttle to explode. Everything faded into darkness. The weapon was destroyed and the world was saved. Unfortunately, NO SURVIVORS REMAINED! Wait….if no survivors remained, how did Agent Pheoness wake up to the sound of ERs? Pheoness bolts upright, the memories of both what she went through and the questions of what happens now making her weakened body panic, that is, until she felt a comforting hand on her arm “Hey, Agent, calm down..you’re safe now..” She hears a familiar voice whisper. She looks beside her to see Reginald by her side. Though her body was very sore, she couldn’t help but wrap her arms around him and embrace him. “Reginald….I thought the death engine killed you!” Pheoness sighs. Reginald returns the hug, rubbing her back gently. “No…that blast only cut off communications. How are you though? When the agency’s ships found you two, there was a lot of radiation in your lungs.” “We’re fine..we’re just- Oh no…Pheonix?! Where’s Agent Pheonix?!” Handler laughed and turned her head so she could see Pheonix. He was sitting upright in his own bed next to hers. “We did one heck of a job, Pheoness..” He said, his voice a little weaker than his regular energetic self. “You guys sure did…” Reginald replied “Zor’s plans were completely foiled when you two blew up the Death Engine. Unfortunately, the Agency had to fake your deaths so Zor doesn’t know you’re alive. In the meanwhile, you can take a break from the missions while you recover. So, It was true. No survivors remained on the Death Engine incident, but that’s only what they want you to think.
(The picture above is the storyboard and notes I made for this chapter:)
They were in space. On a Zor space shuttle. Trying to stop a weapon that could destroy cities in a single blast. So much to take in in such little time. But they had to focus, it was necessary, because even one tiny slip up could have the fate of the world in the hands of Zoraxis. The two agents were successful in getting on the space shuttle safely and without being identified. A big canon-like machine pointed out of the main part of the shuttle was probably the Death Engine they were sent to destroy. “Agents, you need to find a way to eliminate that Death Engine, millions of lives are depending on it.” Reginald’s voice echoed in both Pheonix and Pheoness’s ears. The two searched their quarters, trying to obtain any info about this lethal weapon, but was cut short by an ominous countdown “Agents? Is that a countdown…? What is happening-“ before he could finish, the countdown hit zero and a powerful red beam fired out of the laser, hitting Earth with tremendous force. The impact from the beam violently shook their shuttle, only static came from both of their earpieces. “Reginald….? REGINALD?! Pheoness called out in a shaky cry. Was the communications cut short? Or was it his life that was cut short? Either way, the agents have now witnessed the full power of Zoe’s death Engine. Pheonix put a reassuring hand on her shoulder before they heard a female voice on the speakers. Whoever it was had a slight Russian accent. “Zor always puts me with the newbies…” she sighs “Well, you’ve probably heard of me but I’m commander Solaris. You better get out of there. I don’t think your shuttle will take another blast, it would collapse.” Agent Pheoness sighs “That ain’t good…I feel like living for another few decades.” The two gather info on the shuttle and its technology. They would get out of this confined shuttle and not risk dying, but there was a conveniently placed barrel of radiation just outside their door. Opening it would mean certain death. Fortunately, they were able to work out some of the mechanisms of the shuttle like the gravity controls and used them to activate a robotic arm from outside the shuttle. Finally! A way to destroy this machine once and for all! Their reassurance slowly fades as they hear Commander Solaris’s voice on the speakers once more. “Apparently, Zor’s got some info on you, AGENTS!” Oh crap, Zor knows they’re here. They know the two want to destroy the Death Engine. Commander Solaris let out a sinister laugh as she controlled a robotic arm of her own, one that was holding another barrel of radiation. Honestly, how does Zoraxis get this much radiation like people just hand it out?! The robotic arm whipped back “Catch..”
Before the mission
A mission in space?! Agent Pheoness has had some pretty interesting missions but this was another level. It was so nerve wracking that it actually made Agent Pheoness fidgety. As she was signing the papers for the mission, Handler came into her office “Hey, you seem to have a different reaction to the mission than Pheonix.” He says with a soft chuckle. She looks up, he was a sight for sore eyes at this point “Handler…hey…” he smiles at her “Um…I think we can lose the formalities, agent….my real name is Reginald…Reginald Crane.” She raises an eyebrow “Oh? I’m getting real names already?” She teased “Well, I trust you enough.” Trust? That word is very foreign to her and if we’re being honest, it made her heart stir a little. The smallest smile appears on her face “Uh…Pheoness is my real name actually. It’s a name I’ve been called for most of my life…” Handler puts a hand on her shoulder, gently caressing it. He could feel her tense up at his touch, but she slowly relaxes into the touch “I know you’re nervous, Pheoness, it’s a big mission. But I’m sure you and that rascally Pheonix have the intelligence and the strength to defeat Zoe’s death ray, just…don’t die.” Pheoness laughs “Easy for you to say…Reginald.” The sound of the both of them laughing fills the office, creating a tranquil atmosphere. She finishes the last of her paperwork “Okay, just gotta send these to the Director and me and Phoenix would be off to that space shuttle…and hopefully…not die.”
(Hehe, you only get the before the mission for now😈)
In missions the two alternate when going on missions but sometimes both agents join a mission at the same time!
Operation: Friendly Skies
Agent Pheonix is in charge of the first mission while Pheoness is on standby. Pheoness prays that the poor guy doesn’t die on his first mission, and if he does, make it quick. Phoenix’s reckless behavior results in some close calls but doesn’t die a horrible death yet. When Handler tells them that they could get a vacation from this mission, Pheonix gets happy like a caffeinated puppy and Pheoness, while skeptical, is also pleased. Unfortunately, Handler admits they don’t get that vacation, which disappoints Pheonix but makes Pheoness even more annoyed at their Handler, even threatening him at times.
Operation: Squeaky clean
There’s really no lore in this mission. Pheoness goes on the mission and creates the antivirus safety, although, there are a few funny moments like when Handler says he doesn’t know how to make an antivirus, Pheoness starts yelling at him in Spanish and plot twist, Handler speaks Spanish too. The two are just arguing in Spanish while Pheonix has no idea what they’re saying and is just like😐
Operation: Deep dive
Pheoness decides to take this mission again because she thinks it’s too dangerous for Pheonix. Since commutations can’t reach underwater, Handler nor Pheonix know if she survived or not. But while she’s there, she tends to miss her two work associates. She’s able to survive and make it to the surface. Once communications have been restored, it seems both Handler and Pheonix were extremely worried, which confused her since she’s not used to people caring.
Between Deep Dive and Winter Break:
After 3 missions, an agent’s Handler has a meeting with the higher ups to decide if they want to stay with their current agent(s) or move to another agent. As you can tell, a lot of Pheoness’s handlers have not been with her past this stage so she goes a long rant about how their current Handler is probably gonna keep Pheonix but not her while pacing the floor of her office. When Director Morales shows the results, to her surprise, Handler wanted to keep working with both of them! When she confronts Handler and asks him why, he says that he thinks she has a lot of hidden potential. Though she’s annoying at times, he thinks she’s an amazing agent on missions. This leaves her speechless and the events of my comic with Pheoness and Pheonix occur
Link to comic:
https://www.tumblr.com/agentpheoness/760266561225392128/umpheoness-are-you-okay?source=share
If you don’t understand, I’ll explain. Pheoness is in her office. She is going through a whole inner conflict questioning her thoughts toward her business associates, especially Handler and has a panic attack. Agent Pheonix sees this and goes to comfort her. When asking what’s wrong, she shows him something she’s never showed anyone. Writing in invisible ink on her office wall. The writing suggests she keeps track of her Handlers. It is revealed that this Handler wasn’t her first one, in fact, he’s her 8th! The rest of her Handlers quit or moved on. Phoenix finally understands why she’s so uptight and hugs her, telling her that he thinks that Handler really cares about her. Pheoness, not being used to physical touch, takes a while before she sincerely returns the affection. (The last panel was a joke and not actually canon) Operation: Winter Break
This is the first mission where both Pheonix and Pheoness both do the mission. They immediately had to fight for Zor’s chair and playfully annoyed eachother before getting back on Handler for the whole “vacation” thing, they make him extremely concerned by burning down most things in the lodge. They find Zoe’s weapon and destroy it with the crystals. Another successful mission
FIRST CLASS VACATION:
Both Pheonix and Pheoness didn’t believe him when Handler told them he got them a vacation on a train in India, but they were overjoyed when they found out it was real. Just the two of them, chilling on a train…but..why are Zor’s guards stopping the train? They hear about the Ex-Zor employee and help her get the pardon she needs. While taking sips of tea at the worst times, they defeat the Zoraxis employees. To be honest, both of them were happy that the Ex-Zor employee was able to survive the whole ideal. When they found out they had to pay for their “all expense vacation” Pheoness was going to yell at Handler in Spanish again, but keeps her cool to everyones surprise.
Between FIRST CLASS VACATION and Seat of Power
Between these 2 missions are another comic I made. If you don’t understand it, I’ll explain. Pheoness notices Handler has been having patterns of staying up all night to do work. Concerned, she points to him. They have a little discussion and she realizes Handlers job is not the luxury she thinks it is. Feeling guilty, she apologized for her yelling and mocking him in previous missions. Handler forgives her and he finally gets some rest. While this is happening, Pheonix peeps his head through the door to see what they’re doing and is happy when they see the two getting along.
Seat Of Power:
Only Pheonix is doing this mission. After a whole minute of pretending to be Zor on his throne, he’s able to get the plans for the death ray. From the elevator, Pheonix and Handler and Pheoness (who are listening in) hear Hivemind and his bees. Phoenix, being the innocent child he is, wants to see the cute little bees. Unfortunately, Hivemind’s bees are very mean and almost kill Pheonix. This makes Pheoness hate Hivemind even more. But even with that setback, they get the info on Zor’s death ray.
(I’ll leave the last mission for another post)
Also, here’s some doodles that basically sum up this post.
I have done it
I have obtained the Teensy Reginald Crane. He’s such a smoll lil guy. When I showed him his new home, he got attached to my kitten
Like….really attached
After a few hours of chasing my new buddy around while he was riding my cat, we had to go do some errands. It was very rainy outside but fortunately, teensy Reginald loves the rain, watching it that is
Unfortunately, I had to leave Teensy Reginald at home so I could go to school and…wait…why is my pencil case moving…?
REGINALD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU CANT BE AT SCHOOL! Fine, just don’t let people see you, okay?
His favorite class is theater class because he could talk to me all period! He sure loves ranting about things, but I wouldn’t have him any other way💛
We finally survived class and got home to watch back to the future. The lil guy loved the movie! And he looks so comfy!!!
I love going on new adventures with my new best friend Teensy Reginald Crane!
Your style for Reginald is so. Dang. Adorable! I love him so much and he shall be protected. (Btw I stole him, he is mine now and I will give him as much sleep and headpats he requires:)💛
i’m so glad you like my interpretation of our favorite handler!! take good care of him. he could probably use the sleep…
this literally made my whole day. I love this so much! I never knew I needed this until I did💛❤️
Hi, I absolutely adore your art! Keep up the amazing work!! Also if you’re still taking requests, I’m curious what a role swap between Phoenix and Reginald would look like in your style? Thank you!
thank you so much, i’m glad that you like my art!! this roleswap is funny to me bc Phoenix and Reginald are already so similar that i really think the only significant change would be the number of quips that Zor has to deal with
(I totally forgot to give info on how Pheoness acted when she started working with Reginald and Pheonix so here you go!)
Pheoness hears the door of her office creak open just enough to slip an earpiece in her office before it is closed again. Great. Another new Handler. Her track record of Handlers is…not great to say the least. She wouldn’t be surprised if they ditched her for another agent, just like the others. The sound of her phone ringing interrupted her thought process. She picks it up, hearing the familiar voice on the other end, it was Pheonix. She remembers him during spy training. He was so young, so innocent to what he’ll be experiencing here. “Hey Pheoness! You got the earpiece too?” The two were put in an Agent duo, two agents that would work closely together on similar missions and even do them together at times. She doesn’t want to watch the poor thing get slowly withered by the duties they have to fulfill here, but the higher ups gave her no choice. It also means they will have the same Handler. “Yea, Pheonix I got it.” She responded unenthusiastically, getting the earpiece and putting it in her ear, a man who sounded like he was in his 50s came from the earpiece “Greetings Agents, I will be your handler, I will guide you if needed.” Pheonix nodded a cheerful “okay” while Pheoness rolled her eyes “And lemme guess, you just sit on your butt all day while we’re out here risking our lives?” There it was. She just HAD to make another snarky comment. She couldn’t help it though, it was in her nature to shut people out, and she couldn’t even say sorry due to her stubbornness. There seemed to be silence from both The Handler and Pheonix for a little while before Handler spoke up “Well, looks like someone has an attitude.” He replied with a slightly exhausted tone “I’m so sorry, sir. She doesn’t mean it!” Pheonix said in a panic “Oh, it’s really alright..I have heard your reports Mrs Pheoness. I saw you were a wild card so I took the job.” “Yea, that’s what they all say until they reach their snapping point.” She scoffed “Can you at least keep your comments to yourself for 5 minutes so I can explain your first mission?” She thought about it for a second before sighing “Fine, say what you need to say, Handler.”
And that’s how Operation Friendly Skies began:)
