Out of the corner of his eye, Bad Dude spotted the most perfect flower and sprung to it, carefully nipping it with his teeth before carrying it back with him to the picnic area. A large red-and-white checkered blanket had been spread underneath a large, lush tree—a picnic basket and numerous other small dishes spread out along it. On the grass resting against the trunk was a rectangular cooler full of apple cider and cold fizzy sodas.
By the time Bad Dude returned and set his latest flowery find along with the rest of them, Discord had already finished braiding Fluttershy’s mane and now she was doing the same for him—only this time using his thin beard to twist into odd patterns and arrangements.
After he set the striking blue flower by her side, Fluttershy cooed to him, “Oh, that one’s even better than the last one! Thank you so much, Sugary Topping.”
Bad Dude stuck his head down with a blush. “You’re welcome, Ms. Fluttershy.”
She smiled. “You don’t need to keep calling me that, sweetie. Fluttershy’s fine enough.”
“Okay… Fluttershy.”
After taking a quick pull from his fizzy peach drink, Bad Dude hurried back out into Fluttershy’s garden, hopeful to find another flower to her liking. It was doubtful, though. Each of the last eight flowers and roses he’s already plucked seemed much prettier than the last.
Bad Dude muttered as he walked. “Your name is Sugary Topping… Sugary Topping is your name…”
Bad Dude was finding the subtle art of villainy to be a whole lot to remember, especially given all his new aliases. Sweet Glaze… Bad Dude… Sugary Topping—the name he’d used in Tartarus and decided to keep using as a secondary fake name—it was all getting confusing. If only I could remember Equestrian geography in school as well all my new names, he thought to himself dourly.
Finding nothing of interest in Fluttershy’s well-stocked garden, Bad Dude spun on his hooves and hitched in a breath. On Fluttershy’s back stoop was a white rabbit glaring at him with its paws crossed over its chest. Bad Dude thought if it ended up frowning any harder, it might end up hurting itself.
“Hello!” Bad Dude greeted warmly. “I’m Bad… Sweet… I’m Sugary Topping! Pleased to meet you!”
Bad Dude thoughtful introduction did little to move the stoic creature, as his beady black eyes never left his.
“Umm…” Bad Dude started, feeling fretful. “Well, I’d better get going. Nice meeting you! Bye now!”
Even as he made his way back to the picnic area, Bad Dude could feel the rabbit’s piercing gaze on his back. Did Fluttershy really spend most of her time around something like that? A pony so sweet and so nice next to something so cold and hostile?
Then he got an odd flash of himself standing next to Discord and shook his head.
“Nah, Discord’s not that bad,” Bad Dude reflected. “I mean… not that bad.”
When he crossed over the backyard and saw Fluttershy and Discord again, he had to stifle a giggle. Like some elongated cat, Discord had spread out along the picnic blanket in a near perfect U-shape while Fluttershy rested her head on his belly and read from a book. Discord appeared to be preparing himself for another one of his many afternoon naps.
Research.
That was what Discord had called it when he’d invited Bad Dude to tag along with him and meet Fluttershy. Research: to see what their enemies were up to and what could be used against them; if only Bad Dude hadn’t accidentally glimpsed Discord’s super-secret day-planner and noted that every Tuesday of the month had Fluttershy’s name written on it.
As Bad Dude sat down on the picnic blanket again and slurped on a cherry popsicle, Discord raised his head off the ground and regarded him dryly. “Having a nice time, Sugary Topping?”
Bad Dude readily agreed. “You bet! Fluttershy’s garden is so awesome and all of her animals are super nice.” He thought on that. “Okay… maybe not all of them…”
Ignoring that last statement, Discord cocked a mischievous brow and turned to face Fluttershy. “Fluttershy, my dear, tell me… has your heart been bothering you today, perchance?”
Fluttershy looked up from her book with concern. “My heart? Why? Is there some new vitamin that ponies are supposed to take that I didn’t know about and now that I didn’t know about it, I’ll—”
Discord used two of his lion paws to seal her lips shut. “I’ll take that as a ‘no.’ But you did find the sight of Sugary Topping here rather… cute, wouldn’t you say? Adorable even?”
Fluttershy gushed. “Oh, I thought he was just the cutest thing I’d ever seen!” Her face flushed. “You may have noticed that… when I shoved that cookie into his mouth without asking him first—I just couldn’t help it, really.”
Bad Dude grinned at her. “That’s okay, Fluttershy! Really! I wish more ponies would shove sweet things into my mouth without asking first!”
By his side, Discord slammed his face into the blanket to wail aloud. After a good twenty seconds of outpouring, he faced Bad Dude again with a most stern expression. “I hope you realize the moment you get old enough to understand these horrible things you’re saying, Sugary Topping, that I will be making fun of you entirely without mercy.”
Bad Dude’s ears flattened. “What did I say? What’s wrong with saying I like cookies?”
Like a steaming tea kettle, Fluttershy squeed and scooped Bad Dude up for a hug. She busily patted him on the head. “You are just the cutest, little thing! You know that? Oh, I wish I could just—”
Bad Dude anxiously tapped her on the shoulder until he got her attention. His muzzle had been mashed into her chest and he couldn’t take a breath in for the life of him. He found Fluttershy oddly strong for someone seemingly so sweet and innocent.
Out of the embrace, Bad Dude inhaled greedily as Fluttershy giggled nervously. Then something out of sight pulled at her attention and she gasped. “Angel Bunny? What do you think you’re doing? Stop that this instant! Stop—” Already she was flying in the direction of her garden area and away from the two of them.
Bad Dude took the moment to pat down his disheveled mane. “I really like Fluttershy,” he admitted to Discord, who was getting to a standing position to lean against the tree. “She’s nice. And fuzzy, too.”
“Well, of course she is,” Discord replied bluntly, “but it seems she may also be our greatest enemy, as well.”
Bad Dude looked up at him. “What do you mean?”
“Your powers of adorableness will not work on her… or at least the level of power you wield now.” He rolled his eyes. “I had a feeling this would be the case. Fluttershy has spent most of her life close to adorable little creatures and even closer to her adorable little self, so it’s no surprise she’s immune to your tricks. Thankfully, I was wise enough to bring us here to test out that theory.”
Bad Dude smirked at him. “Not because you’re actually friends with her?”
Discord scoffed. “What ever does that mean? What does spending time with someone and laughing with someone and growing to care about someone have to do with being friends?”
Bad Dude chewed on his tongue. “A lot, actually.”
Discord waved a claw. “Then my dictionary must be broken. ‘Friendship’ is something completely akin to what I just mentioned. Fluttershy and I? We just exist together, plain and simple. We’re in an exist-ship relationship. Nothing more. Same as you and I.”
Discord’s last words felt like a punch to the gut to Bad Dude. He swiftly felt the hints of tears on the horizon. He looked up at the draconequus with big, shimmering eyes. “You mean… you don’t consider us friends? I thought…” He hitched in a breath. “I thought you and I were really good friends… like best friends even…” A single tear rolled down his cheek.
Discord howled and tore at his chest with his hands. He fell to his knees on the ground as he painfully clenched his jaws. “Okay! Okay! I take it back! I take it all back! We’re good friends! Best friends! We’re such good friends that I’d give you one of my six kidneys if you wanted it—just knock it off!”
Not enjoying seeing his friend in pain, Bad Dude wiped at his eyes before running to him, wrapping his tiny hooves around his lizard leg. “It’s okay. I forgive you, Discord,” he told him quietly.
Discord barked out a single cough and settled his breathing. Averting Bad Dude’s gaze, he reached out until he found his head and gave his mane a quick jostle before sitting back down on the picnic blanket.
“You’re more powerful than you know, boss,” Discord spoke tiredly. “Why we need the rest of that rabble in our group, I’ll never know.”
Bad Dude left the question alone as he went to his pack to retrieve two identical plastic containers with lids. He set both of them down on the blanket before looking at Discord again. “Since I had time over the last few days, I thought I’d make you something. I thought you might like some—”
Resting his narrow face on a hand, Discord snorted and stared at him blankly. “Let me guess: donuts?”
Bad Dude pursed his lips. “Umm… no… they’re—”
“Danishes? Dumplings? Devil’s food cake?”
“No.”
“Dill pickles? Deviled eggs? Date squares?”
Bad Dude furrowed his brows. “It’s not any of those things.”
Discord smiled thinly. “But I bet it starts with a D, doesn’t it?”
Bad Dude blinked in confusion. “Starts with a… what?”
Discord started counting on his claws. “Chrysalis got crullers; Sombra got soup; Tirek got toffee; what did Fluttershy get today again?”
Oh. Now it clicked. Bad Dude looked down at the blanket below him. “Funnel cake.”
“He-ho-hum!” Discord spat dramatically. “Is it just me or am I noticing a pattern here? So what ever could be in these containers, I wonder?”
Bad Dude brightened a bit when a thought came to him. “It’s just candy! See? Just a whole bunch of candy!”
Using his hooves, Bad Dude awkwardly removed both containers’ lids and slid them towards Discord. Inside both was a plethora of variously shaped pastries and sweets, some with fruit fillings and some coated with powered sugar. There were pecan tarts and coconut balls and apple-and-oat squares topped with chocolate drizzle and so much more.
As Discord stuck his head inside one of the containers, Bad Dude told him triumphantly, “See? All candy!”
Discord pulled out a tart to munch on. He smiled pleasantly. “Very nice, but you know what these are actually called? Dainties. As is ‘Dainties for Discord’. Sorry. You lose. Discovered your theme and properly ousted you for it, you cute little bag of fluff.”
Bad Dude grumbled and crossed his forelegs over his chest. “I didn’t even realize I was doing it! Honest!”
Discord pulled out a rum ball to nibble on. “Sadly, I believe you, Bad Dude. I think a part of you just always has to be cute. It’s like a switch; one I don’t even think you can turn off.”
“I can’t help it if I’m always turned on!”
Instantly, Discord choked on his sweet. “Celestia damn it, kid! No one’s setting you up for this stuff, so knock it off!”
Bad Dude’s ears flattened again. “What did I even say?”
“Oh, my! You brought more food, Sugary Topping?” Fluttershy asked, once she returned to them from her garden. Since she’d left, her mane had become frenzied and beads of sweat stuck to her temples. “That was very sweet of you, and don’t these just look delicious.”
“Why do you look like that, Fluttershy?” Bad Dude asked earnestly.
Fluttershy tried laughing it off. “Angel Bunny was in one of his moods again. I couldn’t understand what he was trying to tell me, but he was just being such a grump about it. But it’s all right. He’s back inside the cottage now.” She picked up a tart from one of the containers. “This looks like it must be strawberry—I’ve always loved strawberry desserts.”
She took a dainty bite before she grimaced and her eyes shot open. It appeared she was on the verge of gagging on it.
Bad Dude stared up to her expectantly. “You like ‘em, Fluttershy?”
Without swallowing, Fluttershy mumbled, “Uh-huh. Very… umm… different. Yes. You didn’t happen to drop some toothpaste into the mix by accident, did you?”
Bad Dude gasped, then quickly took both containers of dainties and reversed their place on the blanket. “I almost forgot!” he exclaimed. “One of these was just for Discord. The other one’s for us.”
As sightlessly as she could, Fluttershy spat out the pastry into a napkin and turned to him. “You put toothpaste in Discord’s sweets?”
Bad Dude nodded energetically. “Yep! And a whole bunch of other stuff, too! Discord loves weird flavors. All sorts of them!”
Discord whistled loudly. “Ohhh! Dainties just for me? How interesting… let’s see here.” He glanced at the container shoved close to him before settling on a slice of white-chocolate brownie. With an astute expression, he popped it into his mouth and lazily chewed on it.
“Confetti…” he began to list, “saw dust… ear wax… apple cores… coupons to the Hay Burger… what else? What else?”
Bad Dude giggled in joy. “Give up?”
Swallowing, Discord said, “Sure. Tell me.”
“There’s also some stuff I found under my kitchen sink in there—I think it was called ‘bleach’.”
Discord closed his eyes and gave a nod. “Of course, the faint aroma of bleach; reminds me of my teenage years, it does.”
While Discord munched on another multi-flavored treat, Bad Dude sidled up to Fluttershy to rest his head on her lap. “Hi,” he said, looking up at her.
She smiled back. “Hello, sweetie. Anything I can help you with?”
“Actually…” Bad Dude looked away for a moment, “I’ve been trying to convince Discord to join my group of friends, but I don’t think he wants to very much. Don’t you think it’s a good idea he make more friends?”
Fluttershy played with Bad Dude’s mane while directing her attention to Discord. A good chunk of her original tenderness slipped away as she spoke to him. “Discord! How could you?”
Discord, caught unawares, spat out bits of paperclip-bubblegum-shampoo-profiterole before turning to her. “How could I what?”
“Turn down such an innocent little colt’s request?” As she spoke, Bad Dude watched Discord’s response with a smirk. “He’s just happy to be your friend and now he only wants to help you make more friends. I thought you’d changed for the better, Discord.”
Discord balked and blinked, fighting on words that were never spoke. Finally, he thought of something, pointing a narrow claw in Bad Dude’s direction. “That kid’s a bad influence, you know. You even know what that colt has planned?”
When Fluttershy hastily glanced at him, Bad Dude stuck out his bottom lip in a pout. He carefully explained to her, “He’s just worried about having his trust broken again. One of my friends did something bad to him a while ago and now they don’t trust each other anymore. But isn’t a large part of friendship being able to forgive one another when they hurt you?”
Fluttershy nodded solemnly. “Yes, Sugary Topping. Yes, it is. And that’s why I think it would be a wonderful idea if Discord joined your little group and tried to forgive ponies that hurt him before.” She turned back to Discord. “Nothing bad has ever happened by having more friends, Discord; especially friends as sweet and innocent as Sugary Topping here. If I were you, I’d try acting more like him. Clearly, he knows a lot about the true power of friendship. What’s the worst that could happen by joining his cute, little group?”
Discord displayed a single fang and muttered, “I’m going to make you eat every last one of those words, Fluttershy.”
“What was that?” she asked.
“I said, ‘I’m going to make you eat every last one of those dainties, Fluttershy’. Can’t let them go to waste, can we?”
Fluttershy angled her head at him. “Don’t go getting grumpy, Discord. You like having friends… I know you just have trouble admitting it. And I think spending some time with Sugary Topping here is a great way to show you the real magic of friendship. You wouldn’t be spending so much time together unless you liked each other, right?”
Loudly, Discord snapped at what dainties remained in his container while keeping his arms folded over his chest. “Yeah, sure, whatever.”
The next moment, Fluttershy whispered something into Bad Dude’s ear that made him giggle. After that, they both got to their hooves and went to stand before Discord.
Discord licked bits of sugar from his claws and narrowed his eyes at them. “Yes?”
Without a word, Fluttershy and Bad Dude pounced on him for a hug, as the thin figure fell to the ground with a thud.
“What do you think you’re—” Discord began, before genuine concern overwhelmed him. His pupils shrunk as his head whipped from Fluttershy to Bad Dude and back, both nuzzling into his furry chest and stomach.
“We just don’t want to see you be such a grump, okay, Discord?” Fluttershy explained.
“Yeah!” Bad Dude added.
“Is this…” Discord croaked out, his many-lined face turning white. “Is this how I die? I knew it was a mistake bringing you two together!” Using his lion’s paw, Discord undid the well-hidden zipper on his chest before reaching in and pulling out his heart, which appeared closer to a cartoon one than anything that could actually pump blood. He whispered to it, “Run… save yourself… don’t look back…”
With no more words necessary, Discord’s caricature of a heart sprouted both a pair of arms and legs and began scrambling away, scurrying across the backyard and well into the distance. Back in the small pile of pure fluff, Discord allowed himself to be wholly consumed, thankful his heart would live on to lurch another day.
The last thing he could remember before blacking out due to pure adorableness was Fluttershy’s words about actually joining Bad Dude’s group.
What’s the worst that could happen?
Wow... never knew that word until now.

Aww... food related ones are the best!
Bacon with Bad Dude...
I could see that as a chapter title until I realized bacon with Bad Dude...

Well, we are quite shocked at how well Bad Dude had played a full grown mare into his hooves and unleashed her onto discord. Which she basically gave him her permission to join a group full of evil individuals, planning to take over the WORLD instead of just Equestria. What about those who wish to become super heroes to go against the registered super villain Bad Dude or any of the other Villains as a nemesis's? Because he had 'technically' registered with two out of four Princess Alicorns and none of the former bearers for the Elements of Harmony, how would Cadence in the Crystal Empire react? Maybe demand that shiny give her a foal or want to defeat bad dude just to force adopt him?
Also really curious how Twilight and company are plotting to 'defeat' Bad Dude, make notes of his encounter from the princesses? A comical hospital scene where Bad Dude gives both older sisters a get well gift? Because he didn't mean to hurt them so much, also it would be funny if one or both of them accidently give him advice on how to be evil or improve himself. 'Get Better Pudding for Alicorns'?
*reads chapter name... googles 'dainties'

Bad Dude makes all of these things. I think it should be Baking With Bad Dude.
Yoish! While I knew that he couldn't knock out Flutters from cuteness overload. I'm glad to see that she goes into Super Squee mode, and is still effected by his super adorableness.
And when they teamed up on Discord. The cuteness levels reached lethal doses.
Honestly this chapter was awesome. Bad Dude seriously needs a cutie mark in being adorable. Giving him a lifetime magical bonus to being the most adorable villain ever! I wonder what his team would do for his Cutecenera? Or if he'd hold two. One with his team, and one with his parents+Fluttershy+The Princesses [as an apology for hospitalizing them with his cuteness ... but then he makes things worse with his Special Talent Powers putting them out of commission even longer ... bonus points if Cadance and Twilight show up to see just what this new villain is. Only for Cadance to be left standing.]

A combo Bad Dude and Fluttershy.
I am sure using this could put on trial for war crime.
Awww such a cute chapter! Poor Discord, he didn't stand a chance against the adorableness of Bad Dude AND Fluttershy!
are celestia and luna still hurt?
Welps fast forward to when our dear Flutters finds out the majority of Bad Dude's company.
This chapter was still pretty interesting, excited to see where it's going to go. And while Discord may have been playing it up a bit, he knows for certain if he didn't ditch his heart he woulda died heh.
This is a riot. Especially the thing with Discord's heart. FLY YOU FOOLS FLY!
vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/c/c6/Vizzini.gif
Flutters + bad dude= world destruction by cuteness
Yay Can wait for more!
Bad Dude + Fluttershy VS. Discord
Bad Dude + Fluttershy: 1
Discord: Out of game
Oh god... the throttle to Murphy's Law has just been set to Ludicrous Speed...
So this is how the lifeless world Starlight Glimmer and Twilight found happened.
Eeeeeheeeheeeheee
Death by FLOOF
I'm guessing the next chapter will be Bad Dude busting Tirek out of Tartarus? Maybe he can bring the others to help out, he could be in disguise and make up a story about how he captured all of them and was sending them there to collect a reward like some kind of bounty hunter.
I would even spend a minute with Angel, either.
Wait, Fluttershy's immune to Bad Dude's cuteness?!
Oh my. You gotta watch out what you say there, Bad Dude.
So Bad Dude and Discord aren't friends anymore?
That ended well.
That's twice in a row, Bad Dude! You seriously gotta watch out what you're saying.
I dunno, Fluttershy....
(GASP) Hugs from Bad Dude AND Fluttershy! There's no way anyone would be able to survive that! Good thing Discord made his heart run away from a certain danger.
Wait, Fluttershy joining Bad Dude's group? Does she know what she's getting herself into? Oh boy. This is going to be verrrrrry interesting.
This story always finds a way to surprise me, make me laugh, or make me d'awwww due to cuteness.
For the record, I still say it should have been buffaloes with Discird. Get it BD, eh eh eh?
I also believe this story will end with Bad Dude having been working for Twilight all along....somehow
Okay, I wasn't going to mention it before now, but this is like the third hint I've picked up on.
Don't think I don't know what is really going on in the background. I'm just going to sit quietly and wait until you decide to drop... that... bomb.
And here I thought you would have taken the chaos route and called this chapter "drocsiD htiw stunod" (Discord with donuts, each word written backwords).
oh well... maybe next time.
OK im not sure who bad dude is working for but its not the villians. i mean he is wayyyyy too cute and also all bow down before our new fluffy overlord Fluttershy
6861235 I think he maybe doesn't really know what he's getting into...
6861064 Good idea. I'm sadly just way too anal retentive to spoil the theme.
6860772 I hold a bomb, do I? Please PM me what you think I hold, exactly.
6860726 That would be some "Inception" like craziness there. Friend-ception.
6860535 Actually, it was just Discord thinking about Fluttershy's words about joining the group. It would be too cheap if Flutts teamed up with Bad Dude. "There can be no victory here," type of situation. Glad you're still enjoying it!
6860485 I... actually really like this idea. Hmm. Copy/paste. There we go.
6860265 The best and most noble way to go.
I'm curious how Bad Dude will react the moment he will understand all the adult-themed references he made all the time.
Good Chapter!
6859978 "Player two has left the game..."
6859783 Glad to hear!
6859693 I almost forgot about that comic book. I think Sombra's was the best, followed by Chrysalis. And, yes, holy hell was Sombra adorable in that.
6859675 Is that such a bad thing, though? Is it really?
6859662
6859573 Thank you!
6859446 Oh, good job on the apocalypse there, Flutts. Nice one.
6859388 Yes, but not for long. I was going to include some convo. about Twilight and the Princesses, but I decided to save it for the next chapter. Would've felt a bit too jammed in there for its own good.
6859357 And here I thought people might be grossed out about the heart thing. Guess not.
6859301 Why would Cadence be the only one standing? And I think Bad Dude's cutie mark is a trio of sprinkle donuts. If I never added that, then I will soon.
6859260 We're one step away from "Baking Bad" here people.
6859215 What? Is that a Canadian term or something? Or does it help if you work in a bakery?
6859192 I... almost feel bad about that one. Almost...
6859125 Really? Never heard of a dainty platter before? Dainty squares?
6861565 Nope. Should I have known? If I did know, then I may have made that one of my guesses... and you'd have no choice but to use "DEEZ NUTS!!!"
6861565
Nope all you said that he was a little colt, barely even in second grade. Still ... if he already has a special talent, what is it? And how do doughnuts play into it? And how does that play into his future of the worlds most adorable super villain.? [And I'm sad that his super villain friends won't be doing a cutecenera for him .... there's so many funny possibilities for that T_T.]
Also as for Cadance being the only one left standing.
1) Celestia and Luna already fell.
2) Twilight for all of her logic and studies, is even less prepaired and resilient against the cuteness.
3) As the Princess of Love, and Hearts and Hooves Day being her holiday. I can see her being surrounded by cute fillies and colts showering her with adorableness. As well as the fact that she has a rather Fluttershy like adorability / kindness factor. So I'd suspect that while not given a Hggn Attack, she'd still get Adawabetus.
"Bad Sweet" is a neat name too.
Hmmmm... He should recruit that bunny! In before Apples with Angel!
((except even evil has standards))
In the sense that shipping exists. And boy does it ever.
I see what you did there
I guess Fluttershy got lucky with the toothpaste one.
If he's causing alicorns heart problems, imagine how handsome he'll become when he's older? his adorableness will evolve into dashingly handsome, because who wouldn't cradle rob a stallion of grown youth? XD
I have a feeling Bad Dude's group will end up starting to have fun somewhere along the way and wondering what they've been missing all this time.
Or Bad Dude will accidentally end them all during an argument and be disappointed that he messed up being a villain so bad that he became the national hero instead.
Until everybody at the official ceremony seizes up and croaks on the spot when Bad Dude starts pouting.
These Adult Jokes hes making without realizing it are killing me!
6864683
You either die a villain or you live long enough to see yourself become the hero.
We've had it backwards all this time!
6859125
I've read it before, but it's almost never used in conversation...unless you're from England.
6867139
It's always hilarious when a kid does that. You keep a straight face for them, but inside you're busting a gut.
Oh wow, this is great. I unfortunately have been busy on other things to read this, but I've now started on the ones that have been posted... I am braced for cute.
I can relate.
Almost disappointed that Discord didn't tell his Heart "Fly you fool!"
Maybe Discord's heart didn't grow three sizes that day, but it certainly did some work on cardio.
6932252 Wings weren't in the budget.
This is the funniest chapter yet, the amount of hilarious jokes!
Oooooh lordy, Bad Dude has no idea what he's saying, so many things jjust fly out of his mouth that are hilarious!
And when Bad Dude is much, much older, we can introduce him to Adagio Dazzle. But not anytime soon.
I don't get the sex joke what is it??
HAHAHAHAHAHA LOLZ
haha love that
The songs 'all my friends are heathens' and 'you're gonna go far, kid' come to mind here
Fluttershy may or may not be distantly related to Sweet Glaze. She has his abilitys.
I don't know, there's also Angle Bunny. And wasn't Pinkie resistant to the cute as well? If this effect is spread across the element bearers, then Bad Dudes group may be in some serious trouble.
