Author: amberdreams
Pairing: Gen
Rating: PG13
Warnings: none
Summary: Movie or tv night in the Bunker and two lazy boys try out their Lazy-boys, with a few beers and Scoobynatural.
A/N: I spent ages trying to decide what to do out of all the lovely prompts and likes, but after the finale, I just wanted to give you (and the boys!) that moment of down time and laughter. Hope it lifts the spirits!

Their expressions are so fudgin' delightful! I felt like this was a scene that actually happened. And thanks for giving us a peek behind-the-scenes!

Hey, do you stretch your watercolor paper, Amb?

I bet they had nights like these - they must have, right?

Re: stretching paper - kinda? This was in my sketchbook so the tape was really just to give it a border, but when I'm using a single sheet I'll tape it to a board but not usually stretch it. I used to go the whole hog and wet the paper, use brown tape and all that, but it takes so long and then I watched people on YT not bothering and their paper was still ok at the end - so, why bother? I think it only works if you're using decent watercolour paper though. 300gsm/140lb (and cotton).
