Consuming Candies Pt 2: DD ❤️ GG and GG ❤️ DD
ALL FAKE. I'M MAKING SHIT UP FOR FUN. DON'T BELIEVE ME.
Intro post for this series
Once I convinced myself that DD and GG are some variety of gay, the rest is honestly not hard to conceive of. Two gay guys filming a BL adaption on a set that was open to same-sex relationships who got on really well...it's not hard to believe they'd "get together".
3. DD and GG had "a thing" around the time of the TU production. This could include the time period during filming and through the promo period. Actual timelines and details of the nature of the relationship are secondary.
If an actor and an actress hit it off as well as DD and GG did, it'd be easy for people to see that they were an item. For some reason, people struggle more to see that with two men (okay, I know the reasons, but I'm not getting into that here).
By the time I'd established 1 and 2, I'd seen enough bts and other footage to buy in to 3, as well, but here's the list of moments/candies that just nail it for me. It would be impossible for me to list out all the moments that simply scream "They're in a relationship!!!" because there's, just, a lot. So here's the short list, again, in order of most inarguable to more open to interpretation.
a) Old cow eats young grass.
That's it. That's the clip. There is no het explanation for that. I guess you could maybe claim DD was referring to GG liking younger women, but that doesn't flow with the rest of the conversation they're having. Especially with GG's comment about paying for new brake pads,
They did the gay together. More than just casually. They were an item at this time. Hands down. Case closed.
(Again, I'll get to the argument that this is all fabricated fanservice at another point)
b) The bts of DD getting into costume where he's quizzing the costume-jiejie about what GG said about him in an interview.
This is straight-up, cliche, 'shows up in freaking romance novels' behavior when you have a crush. Nobody's that concerned about what their friend is saying about them in interviews. You only care that much when you're trying to get a feel as to their feelings for you.
Also, the costume-jiejie is hilarious about it. Asking him about his response in an interview and then teasing him about not remembering what GG said about DD. She clearly has served as a sounding board for DD about his crush before, and she's amused and encouraging and teasing, all at the same time. Hats off, costume-jiejie.
c) Happy Camp moments: jealous!GG and the necklace.
I don't usually put much stock in the jealous GG/DD stories, but the instance with GG going grimdark as DD wriggled through the hole with another guy is just...again, I'm struggling to think of a context that would make sense that isn't "they are together and GG is jealous".
(I don't find jealousy cute, tbh, so I'm not jazzed about the moment. I don't know what was going on between them that led to that, but I'm glad they seemed to clear it up).
This leads to the other Happy Camp moment, seen only in fancams. The ox-head necklace that DD had been wearing scratched up his neck during the game. GG's stunned reaction to DD's injuries and his concern, plus clearly telling DD to take it off...none of this makes sense unless GG gave DD the jewelry.
Like, okay. I have a necklace my bff gave me, and I wear it a lot. It's really meaningful and sentimental. But if it were scratching up my neck, I'd take it off. If she were there while it was scratching up my neck, she'd joke about it and agree that I should take it off. She wouldn't look distraught.
My wife, on the other hand...
c) DDU's 11th anniversary episode
There's no way to describe this episode except that it really felt as if DD was having his new partner meet his fam. The fact that DDU stopped throwing women at DD after that speaks volumes.
From a), it's clear that their relationship was pretty serious (and extended after the end of filming), and having GG meet DD's DDU brothers is another indication of where their relationship was at. That's not a trivial thing.
d) GG's lack of chill during promo interviews.
I get the vibe that if they were in a relationship, GG was a lot more scared/nervous about it than DD was. He also had less experience with interviews and such. There are numerous moments where GG misunderstands, overreacts, or just acts weirdly during interviews that are hard to explain away.
- The "It's been a year" video, where DD points out that the camera is recording and GG balks at whatever he'd been saying. Cue the nervous laughter and whispered conversation between them.
- The backwards pants interview question.
- An interviewer asking him if being in a relationship means the end of his career (right after asking about his marriage plans--a question that made dd mad).
- His weird denial of DD's waterfall story
In each case, something startles GG into a panicked silence. Then DD usually intervenes and so then GG has some nervous laughter.
Plainly, there's something he's afraid of being revealed in interviews. So much that he's seeing danger, even when it doesn't exist. Given the nature of the questions, we can see that the "thing" he's afraid of is
- him being in a relationship
- something involving DD and him and a waterfall
- and accidentally wearing someone else's clothes.
All involve DD. In all, DD is the one who relieves the panic and calms him down while smoothing over the interview.
It's not a leap to guess that he's in a relationship with DD that he's afraid people will find out. Sure, he'd want to hide a het relationship too, that makes sense. But then there's the pants question and the waterfall question. And the only way GG and DD's reaction to the question of whether being in a relationship would be the end of GG's career is if...GG and DD were in a relationship.
e) Hot pot.
Okay, this is where I start sounding crazy if I discuss this without prefacing with everything above ^^^. But the fact that their tastes in hot pot shifted over time to more align with each other is significant. I've read about the regional differences and how DD's sudden taste for spiciness could only really be attributable to GG, who's from an area with spicy hot pot.
This resonates with me, especially, because I was a hella picky eater when I met my wife. Like, embarrassingly picky. But then I met my wife, and she cooks and is a foodie and eventually, my palate just expanded. Now I'm a freaking foodie (and a vegetarian, like her), and our eating habits are pretty closely aligned.
Merging is real in longterm relationships. It looks like this. In my case, my wife demystified food for me with her cooking and likewise, it seems as if GG taught DD how to handle spicy stuff.
This wouldn't be significant on its own, but in conjunction with everything else *waves hands*...well, it's convincing to me.
In summary, it is blindingly obvious to me that they were a committed couple at some point after TU filmed and aired (when that commitment started is unclear, but I'm not gonna get into that here). Even after 227, it's clear that they're romantically together. I'm 100% convinced of this. Since I started drafting this, I've come across older mentions of (now gone) bts that just...there's no doubt. They weren't hiding it on set. They were just out there, exhausting everybody around them with their chaotic flirting/mating dances. It's insane and I love it.
4. DD and GG are still together.
Me: So I've been watching behind the scenes for The Untamed, and I think the two actors maybe had a thing? There's just...a lot going on there.
My wife: Sounds gay.
Me: I mean, some people seem convinced that they're still together because of shoes or something. That gets real out-there. But I definitely wouldn't be surprised if they had a thing during filming.
My wife: (who only watched the show) I could see it. They had that chemistry.
(2 weeks later)
Me: Honey, I swear I sound crazy but I'm not. These two guys were totally together and I think they might still be together.
My wife: Because of shoes?
Me: I SWEAR I'M NOT CRAZY, HONEY, JUST BELIEVE ME
My wife: Yes, dear. Their shoes make them gay.
Me: *sobs*
When I first started dipping into things, I felt a great sadness watching older videos of them, because I'd heard that they weren't allowed to interact in public, that they probably didn't even talk to each other anymore, etc etc. YouTube's full of this, and the fans who say they're still together look, well, crazy.
It's easy to conclude they're not together anymore given that so much early evidence of their relationship is based on videos/audios. The bts, joint interviews, fan meetings, etc. We were spoiled with up-front and personal visuals of their dynamic. It's not a surprise that in the absence of that, most people just assume they don't talk or interact much anymore.
Not to mention, wandering in some years later, you get a massive dopamine hit with the bts and the promos and then there's a drop when you try to look for more recent stuff. When we could see it, their relationship seemed to alive. So real. So undeniable. But in the absence of that, the immediate instinct is to assume that lack of visibility = lack of existence.
But we have only ever seen a small slice of their lives, most of which has been selectively shown to us by them or by production companies. Both DD and GG have full lives when we're not around to see them. They each have their own career trajectories. They have vastly different hobbies and both of them have their own friend groups. We only get a glimpse of all of that, but that doesn't mean that's all there is. Especially now, when they're sharing fewer personal posts and China is cracking down on the entertainment industry.
No doubt, we only know the tiniest, most tailored portion of their personal lives these days. But back in 2019-2021, they were clearly together. Their relationship was clearly serious. They joke about shared financial decisions, get introduced to each other's on-screen and off-screen family, visit each other's set. Both of them seemed in it for the long haul.
Given that, I don't see why we should assume they have broken up just because we're years later and we don't get the joy of seeing them together anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think a break-up is impossible. Couples break up. Even couples that have been together for a while. Even couples who adore each other and try to make things work. It happens.
But there's no reason to assume that they're broken up just because we haven't seen them together recently.
I do have a couple "reasons", but this evidence won't convince anybody who doesn't believe they were ever a couple. It's only when you accept that, yeah, these 2 BL actors are actually gay and in a long-term relationship, that this seems reasonable.
a) The bone necklace.
I'm pretty well certain that the ox-head necklace was a gift from GG. The timing of the bone necklace's appearance, plus DD's attachment to it (similar to his attachment to the ox-head necklace), makes it a decent guess that the bone necklace was also a gift from GG.
We can kinda guess at the meaning. I've only seen one clip where GG has called DD gouzaizai, so I don't know if that's an actual "thing" between them. (though it's not outside the realm of possibility that they are influenced by bjyx fandom).
In any case, the bone necklace is still around. Still being worn. That's notable to me.
b) They could end this ship if they wanted to.
They have both had other pairings shut down. The fandom wars between turtles and solos is intense and causes disruption, something neither of them need. The solo fanbases are huge and it'd be a no-brainer to jettison the CPFs if you want to cut down on the type of fandom upset that gets unwanted government attention.
But they haven't.
They could have the supertopics shut down. DD could avoid being anywhere near the number 3. They could both dive into a bush rather than be around the color yellow or a turtle. DD could take a video of himself melting down the bone necklace or giving it to a pretty woman. They could starve the fandom.
But they haven't.
They keep around their gay CP, despite not publicly interacting with each other in years. They take down articles about them breaking up, pull down hot searches about them with actresses, and continue to feed the fandom with candy.
Most recently, GG went to work late on the days DD was out sick. That's not even an intentionally thrown candy. That's just us noticing a couple taking care of each other. If they weren't together, then GG, whose team certainly knows about DD being sick, could have avoided doing anything that would make it seem like he was involved with DD during that time.
But he didn't. Either their teams don't care about turtles, which seems difficult to believe given the conflicts that have arisen within the fandoms, or the teams (notably, gg and dd) want to keep turtles around. At this point, years past the point the show is out, years past the time the two have even been seen together, there's no rational business reason to hold on to the turtles.
That's not neutral. They're not keeping turtles engaged for economic reasons. They're not keeping turtles engaged just for shits and grins (the joke has run a little long for that). They're keeping turtles around because they're getting something of value from having us around.
Honestly, I think having a huge contingent of cpf cheerleaders is probably comforting when they aren't allowed to express their feelings for each other publicly. It's probably weird and sometimes probably intrusive, like most stuff with fans, but they still have millions of people who embrace them as a couple when they live in a country that is hostile to their relationship. Who in that situation wouldn't want to keep that?
In sum, I had to get past the "too good to be true" hurdle. The automatic dismissal of BL fangirl fantasies. I mean, BLs often market to those fantasies, so a healthy dose of skepticism seems reasonable. I don't honestly blame people for dismissing it when they only have a passing familiarity with the whole thing.
It took a lot for me to see past that, and to see that this is the one case (that I'm aware of) where the fantasy is real. I think it's notable that this "fantasy" doesn't actually look like the fanservice fantasy often served up in BLs. I mean, ggdd have their moments, but they're also snippy, jealous, possessive, lewd, awkward, and just plain weird sometimes. They're real and that's messy and that makes it even more real.
In the next part of this little series, I'll talk more about the fanservice question, plus fanfic, and The Timeline. That post requires more editing, so it probably won't go out until next week.
Just remember it's all fake and nothing I say is true.

I wanna ask about the super sexy accountant 👀 What do we know about Darien’s bio family? Does he have siblings or keep in touch with any of his fam? Does he miss his criminal family at all? Or is he happy to be free of them? Is there any one in the criminal family (besides Wyatt) that he liked being around more than others? What does he think of Brynn, nu Wyatt, and Bryatt? What are his hobbies or free time activities? Will we see more of him in the future? Inquiring minds - it’s me, I’m the inquiring mind- want to know!
Who doesn't want to know about the hot accountant?! Look at him, full of secrets.. 👀
Dairen's the only child of two not wealthy parents, but his stepfather was pretty wealthy (none of Darien's own wealth comes from him tho, 'cause ew..) his mom remarried when he was pretty young, so he has a stepbrother and a half-sister but he doesn't speak to any of them and his dad died a while ago.. I bet you can guess whose idea going to boarding school was? 🙈
I don't really think he misses Artie n' co. but I think he still feels a bit lost, he hasn't really moved on or done anything exciting since it all went to shit.
He misses feeling like he belonged more than anything, a little bit like Bruno, whom he got on pretty well with btw.. especially when Wyatt wasn't around 😅 he kinda liked Kaden too, but mostly because he was resourceful and sensible, tho he was still rather wary of him! He was never keen on Kian, and I still love his backchat to him in this scene because it pretty much defines their relationship, even though we rarely saw em together lmaooo..
Hmmmm.. what does he think of "new" Wyatt? He's not really sure tbh, he only got to spend like a day with him! He could tell smth had shifted but he didn't really get a chance to pick it apart, I'm sure he wonders what changed, and how! I reckon he quite likes Brynn, though he definitely thinks she's a bit daft, then again, he thinks a lot of people are 😆 overall, he's a bit like ????? abt the whole thing lmao
What does he do for fun!? WORK! Duh.. but I guess he kinda likes cooking sometimes, and if he ever feels burnt out (which is super rare) he likes to binge watch TV series in the dark and eat a fuck tonne of sweeties 😌 I can see his faves being shit like The Wire, or mindfucky films like Tenet!
Honestly, he doesn't have many hobbies or many friends, he's spent his entire life with his nose in his laptop, which he likes.. but I still think he's a bit lonely/directionless these days...
We'll definitely see more of him in the future though, so who knows what'll change?!
#ranswers#fib asks#fib extras#darien#😌#ahhhh i do love my dubious yet very handsome accountant#tyyy for asking abt him!!#<3333

15 questions for 15 followers
@thatonetimetraveller has questions...I have answers...thanks for the tag <3
Are you named after someone?
Why yes...
I'm named after a character in a book/film. The character in the film was played by someone with the same first name. It's a fantasy story, a time-travelling ghost I suppose would be the best way to summarize. Film was from 1948; book from 1940; story based in the depression era.
The thing is, it's a name that happens to be the most popular name that was like this many *spreads arms out* years running, so the assumption is just my parents were hipsters of the day, going with the same thing as everyone else.
The truth is, they had the names Christopher and Miranda picked out; when the fam heard of the name Miranda, displeasure was announced. So then my parents were like, nah, okay, we'll think of something else...
But then I was suddenly, like, hewwo world!, and I arrived ON TIME (like, the only time ever really) TO THE DAY (I have confirmation on my begetting day, which is kind of cool), so as my mom was in the hospital room and things were happening and my arrival was like NOW...the movie was playing on the TV in the room, and my parents decided it was a good name, soooooo...
I am named after the title character in Portrait of Jennie (not the 70s and 80s fad, strangely enough). A cute but creepy child ghost time traveler who grows up and falls in love with an artist.
Now - fun additional fact - I did actually marry an artist who is in fact more than a handful of years older. Fate be like that.
My middle name comes from my grandmother on my father's side.
2. When was the last time you cried?
Today when I found out that Murphy the Eagle who has been trying to hatch a rock for the longest time is now getting to be a dad to an orphaned eaglet. Don't let your dreams be dreams, Murphy!
3. Do you have kids?
I have three floofs and a feathered friend. Also a fox that lives in my yard and poops on top of my shed. (Relevant because we are currently looking for a roofer for our garage, and the roofers keep letting me know there's a pile of poop on top of the shed and I have to explain this isn't a prank.) This is a third generation fox. This fox lives with a giant orange outdoor cat.
Indoor floofs are Angry Old Lady Cat (Oreo - she'll be 20 soon, so in human years, that's like 180 or something, she's allowed to be angry at everyone who isn't me or Smaug), Cat Who Thinks Is Dog (General Patters - that beautiful asshole might knock shit off tables and sneeze on me, but twice a day like clockwork he's on his perch for his meds, doesn't fight them, comes when called, and sits on command), Doggo Who Has No Brakes (Princess Paige - she was born blind, but a rough tough cream puff who is braver than most animals I know, and is easily bribed by hotdogs and cookies), and Felix. Felix is a lovebird who turned 23 this month. He's a solo fella since 2018, and he's living his best life (and still blows my mind when I think of historical world events that happened in the last twenty years... like, PJ's LOTR trilogy is over 20 years old, but what's older? Dis birb.)
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
No. I also don't always understand sarcasm. I have had times when it's thought I am using sarcasm and I'm not. But I can write it, when it's written I know what it is when I see it. Usually.
I do appreciate, growing up, that my dad could tell when I was confused and would let me know sarcasm was in use. That helped.
5. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Their voice. Many physical things can change; voices usually stay the same, so I try to key into voices, and that helps me remember people better later. (And yes, that means communicating on the internet is like this wild party with the sound muted and I'm wandering around sometimes wondering 'do I know you?' This is part of why I really, really like Discord servers with open voice chat channels in them. I appreciate Discord mods who have vc as an option in their servers so much.)
6. What's your eye colour?
Officially, listed as brown. Technically, hazel. Just like the car I drive, as long as they work, I don't care what color they are.
7. Scary movies or good endings?
Sometimes you can have both.
8. Any special talents?
A couple nights ago, I found out I can write different words with each hand simultaneously. Apparently that seems pretty strange to those with whom that information was shared. I guess if people read this and reply in the comments that this isn't rare, then I'll have to find another talent. (Can also write stories while singing completely unrelated songs. This is allegedly another oddity. We joke at work that I am a dual core processor.)
9. Where were you born?
In the city I now live again after several life detours.
10. What are your hobbies?
All of them.
11. Do you have any pets?
Please see the question about my children.
12. What sports do you play/have played?
You mean all the ones they forced me to in gym class, or just the electives?
Okay, on purpose, I played softball (catcher mostly - I have large hands >.> moving right along), did some archery, and kickboxed.
I also was on the tennis team for one day. I broke my wrist during the first practice tripping over a racket someone left on the ground behind me. Clearly not one of my finer moments.
Additionally, I'm part of an ongoing game of tag that dates back to 2016. I'm currently it. That counts, right?
13. How tall are you?
I'm taller than average, but I'm still shorter than all of my siblings, and being the eldest, I don't want to talk about it. #Fingon-mood
14. Favorite subject in school?
Elementary: Geography; Math
Middle School: History; Science; Any Hands-on class (carpentry, art, sewing, etc.)
High School: Orchestra, Jazz Band; German
College: Copyright Law; Animation/Film
But overall, any time I got to use a computer, program a computer, take apart a computer, build a computer, etc... I was there first. I used to constantly sign up for Saturday morning computer time at the elementary school. My poor mother, having to take me to the school on the bus on Saturday mornings, and I'd be this little first grader sitting there plunking away at BASIC or playing the Snoopy game while the 6th-8th graders were typing up papers and doing serious business.
15. Dream job?
I am living the dream
No pressure tags:
I choose you, @melkorwashere @unnamedelement @violinclad @thelioninmybed @lferion @jaz-the-bard @raisingcain-onceagain @thraaaaaaaanduuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiil @sallysavestheday @synechd0che
@jhelenivarsimae @maglor-my-beloved @thedaughterofshadows @hhimring @elfscribe and all others who want to do the thing

Archie: If she didn’t work so much, I’d actually have to talk to her
Archie: we’re past needing that
Casey: I get it, you’re not a kid either
Archie: yeah, exactly
Casey: except to me, when I fancy chucking the nickname about
Archie: I’m your baby, not hers
Casey: I take care of you better than her
Archie: there’s no competition
Casey: she don’t give a shit about you how I do
Archie: no one does
Casey: Oi, listen I wanna tell you something that’ll make you feel loads better about that
Casey: they’ve said they’ll get off my back about you staying, ‘cause I give a shit
Casey: and I’ve not bothered with no other lasses
Archie: Is that who you told about me 🥺
Casey: they were being dickheads thinking you was a different lass each time
Archie: I didn’t think I could love you more
Casey: I ain’t mad, the way you always take it further is why I like you
Archie: they think I’m your girlfriend 🥰
Casey: are you not
Casey: bit rude to let me know like that
Archie: say I am
Casey: you’re alright Archie no mates, I get it, you wanna keep this proper casual
Archie: no! 😖
Casey: 😏
Casey: you say it then
Archie: please let me be your girlfriend
Casey: I’m not giving my necklace back for a new one
Archie: you can have as many as you want
Casey: have to get you one, that’s some boyfriend bollocks if I’ve ever heard it
Archie: I like the kind of boyfriend you are
Casey: hang on, you might be chuffed having another necklace, you’ve not even seen it yet, like
Archie: never saying no
Casey: good, I can’t be dumping you already
Archie: you think I make it that easy
Casey: don’t sound like you, nah
Casey: but don’t be thinking you call the shots, babe
Archie: I’m just not letting you go without putting up a fight
Casey: you know how I feel about that
Archie: and you know how I feel about you
Archie: I need you
Casey: Where are you,‘cause I do need to be shown that
Archie: coming out of school
Casey: go to the park, I won’t be ages
Archie: I’ll have lots of 💭 to keep me occupied
Casey: loads of pics to take to keep me going while this twat’s pissing about
Archie: 🙄 some dealers like the company, I reckon
Archie: you wanna be with me
Archie: [pics when we get to this swing like hi]
Casey: ‘course they fancy your company, he’s only trying it on with a little power trip when it comes to me
Archie: ha, good luck to him on that one
Casey: he’s lucky you’ve got me in such a good mood
Archie: it’s for you, I don’t want matching bruises with him
Casey: I don’t wanna pay him like that, don’t care how top he reckons the stuff is
Archie: 😏
Archie: I would be very jealous
Archie: suppose if you don’t cum in him, it’ll be okay
Casey: oh will it
Archie: 🤔 maybe film it too
Casey: you’ve got the wrong Taylor there, and there wouldn’t be owt to film, I can’t be getting it up for no lads, never mind that sort of ending
Archie: guess it’s all for me 😋
Casey: yeah, it’ll have to be
Archie: I want it all
Casey: I know
Casey: proper demanding, you
Archie: I haven’t forgot my manners
Archie: I’ll ask much nicer
Casey: that’s what we should be filming, for when you do
Archie: yeah?
Casey: you don’t reckon you’ll ever need telling how to behave now you’re my girlfriend
Archie: I think it’s the exact opposite and I need that more than ever, honestly
Casey: alright then
Archie: I like imagining you watching it, when I’m not there
Casey: and us watching together when you are, you’ll get to like that too without being 😳 how you was
Archie: I can just watch you, if I feel 😳
Archie: do you think I look pretty when you fuck me
Casey: don’t you
Archie: prettier than I do the rest of the time
Casey: I’ll have to fuck you all the time, til I can get my head round another way
Archie: not mad about that
Archie: you might be tired though
Casey: nah, not me 💪
Archie: you’ve never given me no reason to doubt your stamina
Casey: this holiday ain’t gonna
Archie: we can stay away ‘til you have to be back at work, can’t we
Casey: long as you’ve got something to say to your mum if she decides to act bothered
Archie: I’ll say I need a break for my mental health and she’ll have to accept it
Casey: she might be english an’ all but she definitely ain’t northern
Archie: she’s posh
Archie: idk what she saw in my dad, or vice versa
Casey: I’ve had loads of posh lasses, bit of rough ain’t just bants, they really do go for it
Archie: of course the cliche tracks
Archie: it did piss off her parents, our total lack of connection makes that obvious
Casey: I’ll more than piss her off if she ever finds out
Casey: soz to have to be the one to break it to you, but you’re her daughter, kid, proper followed in them footsteps there
Archie: don’t say that
Casey: it’s true, girl, nowt I can do about it
Archie: it’s not the same
Casey: why not
Archie: can’t be doing it for attention if no one’s ever gonna find out, can I
Casey: can’t be marrying you and having a couple of kids in a house by the sea
Archie: exactly
Casey: I’ll let you off then
Archie: might as well have called me boring and been done with it, like 😷
Casey: I’d have a job to, had me doing DIY and all sorts you have
Archie: not trying to domesticate you for the kids and house we’re not having
Archie: you just
Archie: you know what you did
Casey: I just fucking want you so bad
Archie: I feel like I should be pregnant, how you fucked me
Casey: should buy the doctor a best mate necklace
Archie: I might
Casey: this dealer ain’t having one, keeping me hanging about here when I could be at the park with you
Archie: you should be
Archie: I’m so wet now you’ve made me think about last time
Casey: I should, I was hard before you even said that shit
Archie: I bet we made Janis so wet, hearing that, I couldn’t live with you and not fuck you
Casey: Nor can she, always end up getting chucked out after a bit
Archie: she should just do it
Casey: before the kid, I ain’t bringing it up
Archie: her bump is cute
Archie: I bet it feels so good, people always say it does
Casey: but I dunno if they’re only chatting bollocks to make themselves feel better ‘cause they’re never gonna fuck again with a screaming kid about
Archie: maybe
Archie: can’t get a pregnant bitch pregnant again, big plus too
Casey: it sounds like you’ve got one waiting at this caravan, be gutted if there’s not now, like
Archie: ugh, let us both down now 😥
Archie: I just can’t deal with how loud we were, they heard everything
Casey: with that attitude you have, there’ll be loads of mums there
Archie: has to be a MILF though, you have standards
Casey: you have ruined massive slags knowing you waited for me
Casey: might be that you’ll have to give me a bell when you’re a bored MILF
Archie: I’m still a slut
Archie: just yours
Archie: do you really think I’m gonna be boring 😭
Casey: Oi, bored I said
Casey: be your dickhead husband’s fault not yours
Archie: I don’t want a husband I want daddy
Casey: You can’t be saying that when I’m stuck here
Archie: but yours is the only cock I ever want inside of me
Casey: I need to be inside of you right now
Archie: I wanna feel your kids deep inside me
Casey: fuck
Archie: how does it feel to own my holes
Casey: it’s right, they’re mine
Archie: i’m moulded to you
Casey: you can’t ever be with some other lad, it don’t matter if it’s ages from now
Archie: i’m yours forever
Archie: no one else can compare
Casey: they’re not gonna fit, only we do
Archie: I’m used to daddy stretching me, not little boys
Casey: be fuck all for any dickhead to overhear at their house, you’d hate it
Archie: i’d cry but i only do that for you too
Casey: you crying on the swing missing me
Archie: yes
Archie: does that make you harder, Casey
Casey: [send her proof that it does because we know you would]
Archie: fuck fuck fuck
Archie: be here to give me something to cry on
Casey: how am I gonna drive in the state you’ve got me in
Archie: if you have to cum first, you have to punish me for wasting it
Casey: yeah, it’s gonna be such a waste
Archie: how are you gonna make me pay
Casey: I’ve not cum today, it’ll have to be something that makes you really sorry, other than hearing that
Archie: Jesus your load is gonna be so massive 🥺
Archie: when did you last cum, what were you thinking about
Casey: before I went to sleep, I were looking at what you’ve been sending me, I’ve not deleted nowt, like I said I wouldn’t
Archie: I’ve sent you so many bad things
Archie: keep them forever, remember me
Casey: I wanna keep this massive load for you, he’ll have to stop pissing about soon, I’m not ordering that fucking much, or nowt where it’s timewasting either
Archie: I can’t stop talking though
Casey: you can if I tell you to, you’ll do owt it takes then
Archie: oh, daddy, please
Casey: if you have to use your tie to keep your arms off your phone and on that swing, you’ll have to, and hope no dog walkers come past to ask you what the fuck you’re up to
Archie: waiting for my daddy, that’s all
Archie: this swing is actually soaked
Casey: it don’t matter, it’s ours
Archie: you looked so hot when you stopped me swinging that day
Casey: it’s ‘cause of how you looked I couldn’t help myself but stop you
Archie: you couldn’t take your eyes off my pussy, it made me almost cum before you even did anything
Casey: I can’t take whenever you lose it before I’ve really done owt
Archie: you turn me on by breathing, everything you do is fucking sexy
Casey: if you could hear me breathing now, trying not to lose it myself
Archie: breathe into my mouth, I wanna taste everything
Casey: I’m gonna spit in your mouth, no playing this time
Archie: yes, yes
Archie: spit in my fucking slut face
Casey: it’s what you deserve for getting me so close in this dickhead’s bathroom
Archie: you should be shoving my face into the filthy floor for this
Casey: I will, I don’t wanna look at you til you learn some manners
Archie: I’m being so disrespectful, fucking your pussy like it’s mine
Casey: not even showing me but anyone else could walk past and see
Archie: I know, someone just did
Casey: what were you saying
Archie: begging you to spit on me and treat me like a worthless whore
Casey: least they know exactly what you are
Archie: everyone does, they thought I was multiple sluts because that’s who you are, how you can get even virgins to behave
Casey: I got you to act like that before I’d ever touched you, that’s who I am
Archie: before you’d even spoken to me, I knew I wanted to be your little slut
Casey: you were little
Archie: you like that
Archie: making me realise how good it feels to touch myself, thinking about you
Casey: in your pink princess room
Archie: on sleepovers when everyone else wanted to play with dolls
Casey: backstage when you knew I’d be sitting front row watching that bollocks play
Archie: I wanted someone to kiss so you knew that I could
Archie: I was so jealous of Libi
Casey: she didn’t need it like you did
Archie: she should’ve had to kiss me too
Archie: you would’ve liked seeing that best
Casey: she’d have liked it, that girl from the club couldn’t get enough of you
Archie: I should’ve just done it, it would’ve been worth it for your reaction
Casey: I’d have gone home and done worse than giving one of your pics a like
Archie: next play, I’ll insist
Archie: they can have a sleepover ‘round yours and me and her can practice
Casey: they’ll hear you again then, same as me
Archie: you can watch
Archie: she’s not going to want Bobby seeing
Casey: I don’t want him looking at you either
Archie: he doesn’t like me
Casey: he’s scared of you, all lasses, even her
Archie: don’t invite your other brother, either
Casey: he ain’t welcome nowhere as far as I’m concerned, you’re alright
Archie: I think Libi could be a slut too but I don’t know
Casey: if she let herself, she would be, lasses with dead parents or ones who don’t give a fuck can’t help it
Archie: she doesn’t know what she’s missing
Casey: I’m not fuming nobody does about you, I’d have to fight so many fucking lads if they had a clue
Archie: that’s why I’m your secret
Casey: you like it, yeah
Archie: I love it, no one but you knows how dirty I am, they think it, but they don’t have the proof
Casey: only me and the dickheads hanging round the park right now do
Archie: they don’t know me, imagine if Janis had a clue though, like
Casey: She’ll have a kid to take there in a bit, she might see you
Archie: jesus
Archie: I just want her to see you inside me
Casey: you want us to make eye contact while I’m fucking you
Archie: I want that to make you cum
Archie: I know it would, I want to take a load meant for her, Libi, anyone else you can’t have
Casey: how did you work it out
Archie: you don’t hate her like Jimmy, you never talk about her the same
Casey: nah, I don’t, we used to be best mates
Archie: she must have a soft spot for you, even if you get chucked out, she keeps having you back
Casey: it was her I told about you, just her
Archie: yeah?
Casey: I used to tell her everything, more than he ever bothered to tell her
Archie: you’re nicer
Archie: she misses you, I know it
Casey: yeah, she could’ve put the bathroom right herself, or got him to
Archie: I told you, she couldn’t not talk to you after hearing that
Casey: I’ve heard them loads, ‘course she misses me, she proper missed out going after the wrong brother
Archie: I’m so lucky
Archie: what do they sound like
Casey: they say each other’s name as much as you say mine when nobody’s about, as much as you wanna when you can’t
Archie: risky, I would so say yours by accident if I was her
Casey: overcompensating, like
Archie: definitely
Casey: she used to be well loud when she knew I were there, when we was all younger and she weren’t as bored of him
Archie: that’s so hot but mean
Archie: she should’ve been fucking you as well
Casey: she was hot and mean, not to us but everyone else, it were why I liked her
Casey: I’ve never met a lass who feels how I do
Archie: do you think if she wanted to now, you would
Archie: or is it different
Casey: she’s changed, gone soft from being with him
Archie: Sad
Archie: you can change anyone though
Casey: I don’t want to, people should stay who they are, be why you liked ‘em or think they’re fucking knobheads
Archie: I can’t go back to before you
Casey: you won’t, this is who you are
Casey: my dad’s trouble were he reckoned he could sort people into being whoever he fancied them being, it don’t work properly
Casey: you can only make them worse like Jim has with her
Archie: you’re right
Archie: as always
Casey: I’d never ruin your life how he has hers, you know that, yeah
Archie: I don’t know how you’d do that to someone you love
Casey: I’d do us both in before I let us turn into what they have done
Archie: 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Casey: my mum had it right, going out while her and my dad still had a spark
Archie: We won’t lose it
Casey: people reckoned he killed her, for a bit, he never though
Archie: people have active imaginations
Archie: like my dad was living some gritty procedural drama
Casey: he don’t have it in him, can’t blame her for pissing off
Archie: it must’ve done your head in, hearing that
Casey: I’ve heard things that have, like her having other families across half of Manchester, which if she did, he should’ve
Archie: There’s no way, it’s so soapy
Archie: you’d know, like Janis’ dad and all the kids he had, it’s obvious
Casey: yeah
Archie: especially as the mum, where’s she going to hide her 9 months bump and newborn, that’s so stupid
Casey: northerners are thick, I got away just in time
Archie: I would never call you thick as an insult, like
Casey: too cute, you
Archie: usually more explicit with my compliments but it works
Casey: me an’ all but I’ve calmed down a bit now, it did make me cum, how you said it would
Archie: I know you so well
Archie: 😇
Casey: I’d have to worry about how well you do if it weren’t all a massive secret
Archie: can’t tell anyone anything
Archie: not that I think she’d care about that part
Casey: she obviously don’t, I weren’t keeping it much of a secret back when we was younger
Archie: How could she not be flattered
Casey: I’m not bothered about Libi though, only you and what you’ll do for me
Archie: anything
Casey: I told her you’re everything I want in one lass
Archie: oh, now I’m crying
Casey: you are, I’ve never had it like this even with loads of ‘em giving me different shit as and when
Archie: It’s all I want so
Archie: good
Casey: I’m on my way, you can show me exactly what you want in a few
Archie: I love you
Casey: [just show up after however long that drive takes because you’re not allowed to say it yet sir]
Archie: [just waiting on this swing as always]
Casey: [obvs saying ‘come here’ as always as he pulls the swing and thus her towards him and gives her the most intense kiss hello ever also as always]
Archie: [we are overwhelmed dot com just making the most pathetic noises ever lowkey because don’t know what to do with ourselves]
Casey: [he has emotionally and physically given you a lot so far this convo gal, I just couldn’t resist ramping it up before they run away cos gotta be that bitch lol, 100% is licking the tears off your face in the most indecent way rn, soz and will spit them into your mouth because gotta be this extra with our bodily fluids exchange at all times apparently]
Archie: [it’s a necessity, as it this because the way we’re going to lose it will kill you right back]
Casey: [gotta do everything he said he was gonna do because not ever just all talk, also gotta do the jizz pearl necklace thing at some point because he said he would get her one but he has not yet because we’ve only been to the drug dealer but need the bae to know weren’t joking about that necklace and gf thing]
Archie: [we’re just living, sorry we have to dramatically ruin your fun lads but come on, kind of bound to happen at this point, probably do that here we clearly have no shame at any time, we would be thrilled]
Casey: [it’s the only time we’ll ever condone a pull out after saying that’d never happen again, live your best lives while you can because the drama is looming and we’ll be living for it but you won’t, the question is are we gonna let y’all have your club drugs before your fun is ruined because you’ve not done them together before or are we gonna be rude and make you do it whilst you’re on the run and everything is a bit more grim?]
Archie: [Hmm, I’m leaning towards on the run because we’d be trying very hard to still make it be fun so that tracks]
Casey: [yeah very much my idea of the vibe too, I agree]
Archie: [the way it can’t be overstated how she’d only leave because he tells her to, we would be just going with all of this like it’s not grim and shit so hard]
Casey: [it’s gonna hurt my heart when we get to that, but from a logistical standpoint you’re clearly also not gonna be in Skerries long before Toni rumbles you so probably not time for a drug sesh anyways haha, like I could see you posting something as soon as you get there how peeps do and she’s like aha pretty immediately and gets the train down or whatever so]
Archie: [You probably just get to go to the arcade and that’s about it]
Casey: [gotta win her a bear to come on the run with us because it’s both funny and sad]
Archie: [and I do have that picture so]
Casey: [it can defs be what you post cos she looks like she’s wearing a dude’s top right so it’s a boyfriend clue not like she’s pissed off with any of her mates]
Archie: [plus you’ve clearly been airing your mates since this started so it doesn’t require her to be so clued in to realise that’s obviously not what we’re doing here]
Casey: [mhmm, do we want them to take JJ’s car to Skerries and thus have it for running away or do we wanna make y’all not have it and life be harder, like obvs we shall take her back to hers with it[ to pack etc but]
Archie: [hmm, it’s clearly a second car so maybe take it because you’re not planning to be away as long as you will be, they clearly don’t mind you using it even if you are a messy bitch with it so, I think it tracks]
Casey: [awkward you’re gonna be away for a while, ps I have no idea if this works for a timeline but Winnie says it would be PEAK drama if Janis went into labour at some point because of the stress of this]
Archie: [I’d have to look if we can make that work, it’s been such a short amount of time, unless her bday is the start of september it could work, I could move it even, as long as she’s still a virgo lol, it just needs to be term time because we’ve mentioned school too much]
Casey: [I fully just nearly SHOUTED she needs to still be a virgo though as you were typing it, also Jimothy is so awks if he has his bday during this drama]
Archie: [Jimmy’s is the 8th and Jac’s is the 17th, like so sorry about this Jimothy, at least the tea isn’t going to be spilled by yours so it’s not a total drama moment]
Casey: [you are welcome for your bday being earlier, how shady of Casey to have not at all acknowledged it if we are setting this during the time of]
Archie: [at least you are 14 then gal, as of June, said as if that makes it alright lmao, it was also Jimmy’s 25th just for FYI]
Casey: [but anyway, for now go pack and distract him by trying on bikinis and loads of things you clearly don’t need]
Archie: [cockblock incoming, gotta take what you can get, acting like this is Ibiza]
Casey: [I love it because it highlights how young you are gal, not a fuck given to potentially freezing to death]
Archie: [I dread to think what you’re gonna have on you to run away with lol]
Casey: [she’ll end up wearing all his clothes as per and killing us with the feels under the circumstances]
Archie: [oh lads, what could’ve been, except no one is gonna be fine with it so no]
Casey: [you’ll be pleased to know lads as you’ll be really excited that it only takes about 40 mins by car whereas it takes an hour and a half by train, obvs we can let you leave immediately and hit the arcade as soon as you get there like hyper kids and we’re not saying Toni has to see your post and leave literally immediately, like she’d be trying to get in touch with China and failing first and maybe it’s more like after school by then anyways because we know you’re trying at school rn for uni’s sake]
Archie: [y’all probably get there later afternoon and she’ll get there sort of early eve time, it’s not gonna be immediate so you will have time to hit all the beach moments you wanna but no time for repeating clearly]
Casey: [gotta let you have your romantic seaside cliches before it all goes to shit huns]
Archie: [should she be at this caravan when you get back or walk in on y’all like bonjour]
Casey: [I vote we go full walking in on y’all doing something inappropriate because we may as well for the absolute drama of it all and everyone’s extra af reactions]
Archie: [we’re just the shookest shooketh ever, screaming get out like she’s just gonna go like ok bye]
Casey: [she’s meanwhile giving you get off my sister energy and you get your clothes on and come back home with me RN as if that’s gonna happen either, because then we can do a lil sisterly brawl that he can get himself involved in]
Archie: [very much just trying to push you out this caravan like we can just make you leave]
Casey: [and she’s just trying to pull you out of said caravan to make you leave with us, literal tug of war and when he gets between you by probably physically picking the bae up and putting her behind him to stop her getting hurt she’ll obvs kicks off at him because don’t touch my sister please you massive predator, but soz gal he’d only have to hit you once hard to knock you out because you’re still a girl, even if you are a tall cool one, and he’s a shooketh and angry full grown dude]
Archie: [just grabbing your bag and stuffing whatever you had taken out back in, lowkey in shock but you know you’re gonna have to go]
Casey: [hopefully you happened to have your passport gal because y’all are gonna need it to change countries and you can’t very well go back to hers and fetch it, I can and will say his in the car glovebox, he would not at all be expecting to her to come with him at this point but likewise are only focusing on leaving as soon as possible]
Archie: [we’re going to say you have it lol because otherwise you’re screwed and we need you to go so]
Casey: [we know this boy isn’t thinking straight because he’d check the glovebox for cigarettes even though JJ haven’t smoked for years at this point and you barely do either, I like to imagine some jarringly happy club song playing as the car starts as well because you would have been listening to bops on the way there living for those ibiza vibes, so shutting that off so fast]
Archie: [we’re just sitting here not daring to say anything ‘cos we don’t wanna say it’s alright when it clearly is not, just trying to let him think]
Casey: [at not at all casual drive where he’s just heading to wherever will get him to wherever the hell Ian lives on autopilot but eventually ‘say something’ because he cannot hack silence and thrives on chaos, he’d honestly love nothing more than you starting a huge row gal but we know you won’t]
Archie: [‘she started it’ because all we can think to say, like it’s okay]
Casey: [‘she fucking did’ because from his POV that’s entirely true and already how we’re rationalising this]
Archie: [‘you was just protecting me’ as if she was gonna give you a beatdown but okay]
Casey: [‘I said I would’ no sir this isn’t romantic or heroic of you excuse me]
Archie: [‘thank you’ which we definitely mean but we’re still in our head more]
Casey: [fully turning to look at her as if we won’t crash and die by doing so like look at me, because he knows she is and is very rudely and selfishly like stop it]
Archie: [have to always make eye contact regardless like okay, sorry ‘where are we going?’]
Casey: [‘my dad’s’ said too casually for this situation as if you’re going for a nice visit ‘do you wanna get out?’ as if leaving her alone god knows where is a remotely better idea than what you’re already doing]
Archie: [shaking our head ‘of course not’]
Casey: [looking at her again ‘I’d never hurt you’ even though we know damn well you will and are going to hit her too before she gets sent home, boy]
Archie: [‘she shouldn’t have done that, I don’t know why she even decided to come’]
Casey: [a shrug like you genuinely don’t know either and she’s totally in the wrong here ‘can’t follow us to his anyway’ because true but JJ can and you’re obvs gonna be thinking about that soon if you aren’t already]
Archie: [‘where does he live now?’ ‘cos we have no clue]
Casey: [neither do I but clearly an Irish city still so we can keep driving for now and don’t have to get on a plane before Cornwall, do you think it should be close to Dublin or far? ‘[Location], he’s got a mrs there and she’s got some kids, they ain’t that little though’ like no babies don’t worry, as if that’s the priority here]
Archie: [hmm, realistically you probably met a woman who was local-ish so probably nearer than further, like, we’re just nodding like okay ‘want me to text?’ like are we just showing up or warning him here, what’s the vibe lol]
Casey: [shaking his head ‘it’ll be alright’ it literally will not but you know if you give him any kind of warning he won’t wanna see you whereas if you just show up he’ll have to, even if he does try and get rid of you immediately which we know is the vibe, so we’re pretending it’s chill]
Archie: [‘what you gonna tell him about me?’]
Casey: [‘you’re my girlfriend’ like it’s that simple ‘get dressed’ because you know she isn’t properly remotely rn after all that drama unfolding and y’all just legging it]
Archie: [smiling at him ‘cos can’t not and also being a bit 😏 as we get in the back to change ‘good point’ like yeah your dad won’t like me very much if I turn up like this]
Casey: [shamelessly watching her get dressed as always as he also drives, being as 😏 as if this is at all the time or the place, god forbid you take anything seriously sir, nodding towards the rain I am voting for as if that’s why you’ve said it really, not at all because you care what Ian thinks oh no never]
Archie: [we’re just acting like our sister isn’t back there lying on the cold hard ground ‘cos that’s easier here ‘you’d not let me get cold’ like he’s the most chivalrous boy in the world]
Casey: [‘you do know me so well’ as if he is and for that throwback to when she said it before like hey remember you do and this isn’t at all going to shit please and thank you, because very much acting like we can just pick up where we left off]
Archie: [fully the energy we’re bringing forward like this is ideal actually, totally what we want actually ‘yeah I do’]
Casey: [gesturing for her to come and sit on his lap once she’s dressed for that exact reason, y’all have literally done this a million times before and everything is fine, except no you haven’t actually and no it isn’t]
Archie: [still, we’re here sitting in your lap like nothing has changed at all ‘you know I’m grateful, don’t you?’]
Casey: [this boy do be stroking her hair and playing with her necklace as if nothing has and these are just casual soft hours, making a noise like yeah we do know ‘you still love me’ not at all phrased like a question, sis, just expecting her to as if he did 0 at all wrong]
Archie: [we are fully cuddled into you in a soft way right now ‘more’ honestly bit rude ‘you really care about me’]
Casey: [kissing her as if you’re not driving rn and only stopping when a car horn or something reminds you what you’re meant to be doing]
Archie: [better let you focus, boy, we’re just putting music back on, even if it’s a more chill vibe now lol, we both need the distraction]
Casey: [do sing for the club throwback and to emphasise how hard we’re treating everything like it is chill]
Archie: [just loling at you, joining in]
Casey: [likewise are gonna stop at a shop on the way to Ian’s as if bringing him whatever his tipple of choice was last you heard is gonna smooth everything over]
Archie: [‘when did you last see him?’ ‘cos we wanna know]
Casey: [‘I dunno, ages ago’ because 1. I do not know but 2. You’re trying to act like you’re that unbothered even though me and my boo know you aren’t]
Archie: [clinking this bottle like well he’ll be pleased to see you anyway]
Casey: [‘we can’t stay long’ because you know JJ can and would find you and lbr even if they didn’t you also know it’s gonna go tits up ‘but I’m chuffed you’re gonna get to meet him’ because sadly he genuinely is, in that pure I’m a child who loves my dad no matter what way]
Archie: [‘Me too, but I’m nervous’ like babe you know you aren’t going to be a welcome sight you’ve not got a chance to impress him lol don’t worry]
Casey: [smiling at her like oh you, you’re so adorable ‘what you nervous for?’ like you don’t know sir]
Archie: [getting under his arm as you’re walking like protect me ‘he won’t like me’]
Casey: [‘only ‘cause he’ll fancy you’ awkwardly close to the truth, though we’re not saying you’re actually a kiddie fiddler as well Ian, all those JJ bffs with mr lucas bants aside, you just very much have a type and it’s hot mess blondes]
Archie: [making a noise like stop it you ‘you reckon that about every lad’]
Casey: [a look like yes I do and I’m right ‘he ain’t gonna hate you much as he does Jim’s mrs’ yes we’re back to calling her that in times of trouble and because we need to get into our solidarity with Ian mode ‘don’t matter what you do’ dangerously giving her free rein/sounding like we’re setting a challenge]
Archie: [‘I’ll behave, obviously’ there’s no obviously about it so we’re smiling]
Casey: [just kissing the top of her head how he likes to do]
Archie: [‘I’m not gonna show you up’ ‘cos we know you give a shit about Ian, however nonchalant you’re being currently]
Casey: [a little cuddle moment happening like I know, because we do, however fucked this is gonna be it’s not gonna be because of you acting up gal]
Archie: [get back in this car, lads]
Casey: [you can have a more comfortable silence to drive in than when you started anyway]
Archie: [just turning our phone off so we don’t have to deal with any of that once it starts]
Casey: [the way she had that idea before you when you’re meant to be the one who knows what he’s doing, v telling, but obvs also copy her when you see her do that]
Archie: [breaks the nothing is happening fantasy but so would the endless calls lads so better get to it now lol]
Casey: [I vote Ian only lives like an hour from Dublin total so an extra 20 mins added on to how long it took you to back from/to Skerries, and you literally get thrown into having to rock up there pretty fast even with your shop pause]
Archie: [that sounds legit, you’re going to be acting so weird, even if he wasn’t father of the year forever, just like hello, what]
Casey: [at least he’ll be in his evening routine instead of asleep like he would’ve been if it had taken you hours to get there, you’re welcome Ian, but yeah I wanna die because I imagine he’s probably awkwardly met this woman once or twice and probably never has any of her children however old they are, so it’s just like hey]
Archie: [we can only assume she doesn’t really fuck with you, we know why Jimmy and Bobby aren’t choosing to see you sir but I can imagine she’s like keep ur sons away from my fam ty lol, so thrilled you’ve turned up, we’re just standing in the background like a fool because we’re not confident at all so you’ve fully gotta deal with this one alone boy]
Casey: [it would be the worst, Casey fully talking over whatever this woman is saying whether her points are valid or not like can we stay here tonight dad and thrusting this bottle at Ian like here you go, knowing full well there’s no room for you both, because there’s probably lowkey not even enough room for just him, and they don’t want you here, like I fully imagine they were in the middle or dinner or have a film on pause on the TV rn it’s actually killing me I’m so second hand embarrassed]
Archie: [this is why you’re not ready for this, you’re just letting this play out when you should really be like let’s go boy]
Casey: [it’s a little bit heartbreaking because you know Ian’s not gone soft in his old age he’d be being his lovely dickhead self just like always, only not fully chucking him out and/or kicking off because 1. Casey could beat you up like he did before hun 2. These gals and potentially these children are around, like, boy you shouldn’t wanna stay here, this shouldn’t have been the first place you came]
Archie: [it’s very sad honestly, you gotta let this trash man go boy]
Casey: [you gotta let JJ help you, they blatantly still would try to even now if you’d gone there first, but no, here we are having an awkward drink with our father and our very underage girlfriend while his mrs herds her children away from y’all]
Archie: [it’s not like they’re ever disowning you, even though the rest of that fam will be like do not come ‘round here again ‘cos fair enough but hey, let’s just do this]
Casey: [the small talk nobody wants to have like so how have you been dad, yeah this is my girlfriend, oh no we’re not in any bother we were just round this way, it’s alright… I cannot]
Archie: [probably annoying you already ‘cos we’re suddenly mute like soz we’re lowkey mortified here]
Casey: [being like we’ve been to the beach, haven’t we, tell him, as if we can force her to talk to him and that’ll make it better not worse]
Archie: [at least he is a dickhead or he might think this is a hostage situation lol]
Casey: [the way he’d keep trying to be like alright you’ve gotta go now and this boy is just not having it]
Archie: [can’t even help ‘cos we’re too passive god]
Casey: [this sofa is getting made up for y’all regardless by the womenfolk while they go and have a shouting match that may well turn into a brawl in another room or the garden, brings back such JJ mems of her just having to awkwardly overhear shit]
Archie: [sorry to this woman even though you’re clearly a bit of a bitch]
Casey: [you do not deserve Ian taking out on you that he cannot beat his sons up anymore, and lowkey never really could this son in particular, because he definitely will when they’ve gone, whatever form that takes for him these days, gonna say Ian comes back in anyway eventually but he does not because we’re having a smoke in the garden like peak Jimothy vibes thanks to how quickly this has turned shit, thanks for the cigs at least Ian, you flop]
Archie: are you okay
Casey: What kind of question is that and where the fuck are you anyway
Archie: the sofa, I didn’t know where to go, he’s gone upstairs now and you’re not back
Casey: weren’t what I meant
Casey: you’ve not been here all night
Archie: I told you I was nervous
Casey: yeah, nervous you said not Bob levels of mute
Archie: sorry
Casey: you should fucking be
Archie: I really am
Casey: nobody’ll have us anywhere if it looks like I’m keeping you against your will
Archie: I’ll do better
Archie: they really don’t have the room here
Casey: you said you wanted to meet him, what were that, any of it
Archie: I don’t know, I wasn’t ready, I fucked up
Casey: you made me look a right twat
Archie: I’m stupid
Casey: just get an early night, I don’t wanna talk to you
Archie: you have the sofa, I’ll go in the car
Casey: it’ll be freezing out there, it’s not stopped raining
Archie: I’ll wrap up
Casey: piss off, will you, I’ll go, I’m already outside
Archie: you should come in and get warm
Casey: I’m not a little lass I don’t need to
Archie: I won’t talk to you
Archie: but I’m not going to sleep, I can’t
Casey: [comes back in and pours them both a very big drink in a very dramatically annoyed manner]
Archie: [just so guiltily sat on this sofa rn]
Casey: [giving her this drink with such intensity it’ll be a miracle if half of it isn’t spilled on the sofa, soz mrs Ian]
Archie: [got to drink it all even though it’ll be gross, as are the rules]
Casey: [don’t think about him downing it regardless of if it’s red wine or whiskey, so grim]
Archie: [moving to sit on the floor, so he can get in this sofa bed moment, as if he’s any closer to sleep than you are]
Casey: [pulling her back to where she was sitting so roughly it actually makes me wince to imagine as if he’s gotta give her permission to move, sir you do not and please stop it thank you, because taking it personally here as if she’s only moving to get away from us]
Archie: [going to say his name, undoubtedly followed by sorry but you said you wouldn’t talk to him so catching yourself before you actually make any sound]
Casey: [‘What?’ in a way that’s not loud but could not be any more confrontational like gal I literally dare you to speak to me rn after you said you would not]
Archie: [shaking our head like nothing nothing, saying sorry with our eyes as much as we are able]
Casey: [‘say it’ like you literally need her to say all the things you’re not about how shit this is so you aren’t the one]
Archie: [‘just sorry’ like that is all I have to say and I know it isn’t helpful]
Casey: [saying her name in the most annoyed, for fuck’s sake, tone possible]
Archie: [just looking down so you don’t cry right now girl ‘you said we can’t stay long’ like let’s not fight like we’re staying here any longer than tonight]
Casey: [‘And what? You reckon that makes it alright, do you?’ as if she really let you down here when we know it’s really your father you’re mad at, boy]
Archie: [‘no, of course not’ like we do feel bad for being rude even though that would’ve only ever gone this way]
Casey: [just putting his empty glass down with as much intensity as he gave her the full one a second ago because can’t be throwing it or anything that dramatic]
Archie: [ah the dilemma like can’t even appease you by pretending to go to sleep now, also definitely can’t attempt to leave, looking at the bottle meaningfully like do you want another one and shall I get it]
Casey: [nodding because however horrible of a drink it is Ian’s not having it now that he’s wound us up to this level]
Archie: [get up and pour an equally as big drink and hand it to him]
Casey: [holding onto her when she does, but thankfully not as painfully this time, just keeping her there and looking at her dramatically because we have too many emotions and nowhere to put any of them rn]
Archie: [really quietly being like ‘I’ll make it up to you, anything’ after just standing here for as long as you can deal without saying or doing anything]
Casey: [pulling her into him as if he’s gonna kiss her but not ‘drink it’ meaning her drink and ours and lowkey any of it that’s left as well as like that’ll loosen you up gal and make this less of a hostage situation vibe, but also we are kinda punishing you here because it’s gross]
Archie: [just nodding when we understand he means fully all of it and starting with the rest of his drink ‘cos if that’s what it takes, hopefully you don’t throw up this time]
Casey: [at least if you did he would calm down but maybe don’t as Ian and his mrs will be fuming enough]
Archie: [I’ll be kind and say it doesn’t happen, god knows what they already think lmao, you are gonna feel it though, when you finally finish]
Casey: [watching her do this like he watches her do everything obvs]
Archie: [‘do you forgive me now?’]
Casey: [‘come here’ in the tone of I’ll see if I wanna depending how you’re gonna behave from now on and it’s more like you again]
Archie: [come sit right beside him so you’re in his grill but not touching him yet ‘cos not being presumptuous]
Casey: [using the necklace to pull her even closer to him if possible ‘you wanna be mates again?’]
Archie: [nodding because yes ‘more than anything’]
Casey: [‘and what kind of mate are you gonna be from now on?’]
Archie: [‘better’ then reaching out to touch his necklace ‘best’]
Casey: [kissing her in such an aggressive manner ‘are you gonna help me make sure they hear us?’]
Archie: [the noise we make would’ve been involuntary but works as an answer, even if it’s nothing by your usual standards]
Casey: [doing the most in the form of as aggressive love bites in between saying ‘I said, are you gonna help me keep them awake for the rest of this fucking night, or what?’ like as punctuation and emphasis for each word in this sentence not at all casually]
Archie: [at this point we are far more concerned with winning you back than feeling uncomfortable in this house so the ‘yes, Casey’ comes much easier and harder]
Casey: [being the most aggressive about everything in a way that makes me uncomfortable truly but will get the job done on what you’re trying to achieve here which is piss them off and distract yourself so]
Archie: [we know what we’re saying here]

YOURE BACK! I hope you’re feeling better and more yourself!!
Can I request a real fluffy one for blurb night where you and Tom meet on a family holiday (you with your fam him with his) and become like pen pals with FaceTiming and texting cos you live on opposite ends of England and he falls for you when he doesn’t mean to? (Bonus points for my main man Harry being a wingman!)
A/N: I am honestly, feeling like a new person!! Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy!!
Warnings: Swearing.
You'd met Tom last year, you were both on family holidays and met in the hotels bar, you met multiple times throughout your two weeks stay. You got on really well, so well you agreed to keep in contact.
"I go home tomorrow." You said as Tom placed a drink in front of you.
"Me too." Tom said as he placed himself next to you and took a sip of his drink. "So, where are you heading back to?" He asked as he watched you take a sip of your drink.
"Manchester." You said and he smiled.
"No way, London." He informed, you'd not actually discussed where you lived yet.
"You still live in London?" You asked in disbelief, you'd assumed he'd live in America now being a huge star.
"Yeah, I mean I have a house in America but I only use it when I'm filming and for holidays. London is where I live." He said, his arm sliding around the back of your seat. "I'm gonna miss you." He said and it was honest, genuine.
"I'm sure you'll forget about me soon enough." You said, a hint of sadness to your tone.
"Oh no darling, I don't think so." He said and you smiled as your brother joined you both, conversation shifting onto something different.
You kept in touch, he texted you an incredible amount and facetimed you at least once a week. You expected it to dry up as he forgot about you, but that never happened. You were currently on one of your face time calls.
"When are you gonna come down to London?" He asked, he was sat in bed, hair a mess from his sleep as he' just woken up. "Also, what the hell is on your face?"
"It's a face mask, need to get rid of those spots." You huffed, face green from your products.
"Oh, I thought you were trying out for the hulk." He teased.
"Arsehole." You huffed through a laugh.
"I know, I'm sorry," he laughed as he shifted his arm to behind his head. You had to stop yourself swooning as his bicep bulged. "Anyway, London." He brought the topic back to where he wanted it.
"Tom, you're not even in London, why would I go there now?"
"I'm back in like a week, meet me?"
"I can't just ditch my job."
"I've already said you should move into our house with the boys." He suggested, he brought this up at least once a month.
"My family though." You laughed.
"Shit, yeah. We need to work something out." He concluded and you nodded, conversation turning to what you had planned for the week.
**
Tom almost felt sad as he ended the call with you, sleep threatening to pull you under after, three hours, Tom realised as he checked the timing on his phone. He dropped his phone onto his bed as Harry knocked on the door and came in.
"On the phone with Y/N?" He asked as he entered, Tom firing a good night text your way as you fired back a good morning, have an amazing day. He smiled at his phone before looking at Harry.
"Yeah."
"You asked her out yet?" Harry teased and Tom furrowed his brows.
"No."
"Oh come on Tom, you are completely in love with her."
"Will you just drop it. I don't think it'll work out. I can't even get her to come to London." Tom groaned and Harry huffed as he sat next to his brother.
"And why does she have to come to London? Why don't you go to her?" He suggested.
"I can't just ask to go to hers."
"Then don't ask." Harry smirked.
**
Tom: Change of plan x
You furrowed your brows as you recieved the vague text message, asking him to explain himself in response.
Tom: It'd be really amazing if you opened your front door for me x
You were filled with confusion, what was he on about? You ultimately couldn't help yourself as you made your way to your front door, opening it. You almost gasped as you were met with Tom, smile on his face and a suitcase in hand.
"Hope you don't mind, wanted to surprise you, changed my flight pattern." Your heart soared, you were absolutely in love with the curly haired boy and this gesture didn't help your situation.
"How did you know where I lived?" You asked in disbelief.
"I remember from when I sent you that bracelet on your birthday." He smiled as you moved to let him in, your hand instinctively grasping the small chain around your wrist.
"How long are staying for?" You asked and he turned around with a shrug.
"As long as you'll have me."
**
Having Tom around was fun, showing him all your favourite things and places. He'd been at yours for almost three weeks, your sofa-bed becoming his own, you wondered when he'd grow bored and head home but he never did.
"Can I ask you something?" Tom pulled you from your thoughts, you were sat on your couch, a bottle of white wine had already been shared between you.
"Always." You answered, feet curled beneath your bum, elbow resting on the back of the couch, head planted in your hand.
"Do you have a boyfriend? Anyone you're talking to?"
"No. You?"
"No, do you have anyone you've got your sights on?"
"Yeah." You admitted, "you?"
"Yeah."
"Lucky lady." You laughed and he joined.
"I'm sure whoever you're gunning for is luckier." He said and you felt a wave of boldness wash over you, what did you have to lose? If he didn't feel the same at least you wouldn't bump into him on the street, right?
"He'll never know, he likes someone else."
"How do you know?" He asked, heart hammering in your chest as you went for it.
"Because he just told me so." You admitted and Tom raised his eyebrows.
"I don't remember him saying anything about who he liked."
"He's a Hollywood actor, I doubt it'd be me he was talking about."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." He whispered and you wondered at what point you'd gotten so close, when the distance between you had become non existent. Faces close.
"Tom?"
"Yeah?"
"We're both on the same page here?" You asked, hoping you hadn't grossly misread this situation.
"Y/N?"
"Yeah?"
"I think I'm in love with you."
"I think I'm in love with you to." You admitted.
"Can I?" He asked eyes flicking to your lips.
"Please." You begged. He smiled as his lips met yours, your heart bursting from your chest as he did. You shifted closer to him wrapping your arms around his neck as he placed his on your waist. You both pulled back for air after a moment. His forehead finding your own.
"I wanna make this work." He said, hand on your cheek.
"Me too." There was no reason why it wouldn't, you'd made enough time for each other as friends, surely you'd make enough time for each other as partners.

But what if every single thing from this season was deliberately done to slowly make Buddie happen. They literally put it right there in front of us but we were all skeptical because we just assumed there was no way it’s gonna happen this season. However, what if it was the writers’ goal the entire time…no but like think about it guys. We’ve been saying this entire season has felt like a fanfiction come to life right? Let’s look at everything from this season alone:
✨We get Buckley Diaz family feels in an episode called “Future Tense”. Christopher literally asks Buck if they can go play video games at his house, where Eddie then responds in a typical domestic way with the raise of his brow. Very domestic feels.
✨”Welcome to Texas, Buck”
✨Eddie is jealous when he thinks Buck is looking at Marjan during the crossover. Then, he spends the entire time he’s with her talking about him with that stupid fond look on his face.
✨”He’s harmless, mostly”… “Buck helped.” And then the last thing Eddie does in Texas is put in a good work for Buck so that Marjan follows him back.
✨We get Eddie being supportive during Buck’s family issues. He’s the one to tell the fire fam that Buck had an emergency therapy session because Buck now trusts him enough to be open about it.
✨Eddie assures Buck that he wasn’t wrong to lash out at his parents. He stands there, holding onto the weight of the punching bag, listening to Buck vent. He also offers him advice and talks to him about it. That’s straight up domestic shit right there.
✨Eddie’s concern when he finds out Buck’s stuck in the burning building. He’s the first person to grab ahold of the line and literally have Buck’s back.
✨”I had to do it”. “No, I know you did”. There was a specific reason that they had these two have their own scene together. It was also important to have Eddie be the one to tell Buck that he had visitors waiting. Idk about you guys but that’s something a partner would do. 
✨Buck reading about Love Languages the second he finds out Eddie ran into the teacher. He takes it upon himself to be the one to make it known to the team that Eddie ran into A*a.
✨After literally not dating for two seasons, bam Buck is out there dating the same time Eddie starts dating.
✨More family feels with Buck putting Christopher to bed and waiting for Eddie at home. So domestic just talking about Christopher’s night time routine and the amount of trust that’s there is amazing.
✨Christopher literally ubering to Buck’s apartment because he’s mad at his father. That’s the typical thing a child would do when they’re angry with parent #1, run to parent #2. All in all, Chris was scared of losing Buck which cmon says a lot in itself.
✨The scene with the good parent/bad parent. They literally are so in sync and are raising a whole ass child together, without being together.
✨Eddie sees a photo of Jee-Yun and automatically thinks of Buck. Yeah it was of the face he makes when he’s gassy (honestly wtf) but cmon his immediate thought is Buck.
✨Let’s also talk about petty jealous king Eddie Diaz when Taylor Kelly is around. He was pouting at the mere thought of Buck doing something fun without him. And to add in the fact that it was with Taylor Kelly, yeah that didn’t bode well with him. He was jealous through and through and seemed to totally forget he had a girlfriend.
✨Eddie never talks about his girlfriend and when asked about her, he called her “nice” & “easy”. Bud that’s not how you’re supposed to talk about your partner, just saying.
✨Carla deadass tells Eddie to make sure he’s following his heart and not Christopher’s when talking about his girlfriend. Eddie then looks so uncomfortable and clearly having doubts.
✨Finally, they have Eddie get shot right in front of Buck, filming the scene like a complete lovers shot. Not only does he search for Buck’s eyes two separate times, but he literally reaches out towards him with the remainder of his strength.
✨Buck is catatonic when his partner is shot right in front of his eyes. He can’t react because it’s completely shattered him and when he finally does come to, he starts breathing heavily because he can’t believe wtf just happened.
✨Also, they’re going to have Buck of all people break the news to Christopher. Like come on this is all very deliberate. They could’ve had anyone but no, they chose the person who’s literally Christopher’s second parent figure.
Guys, all I’m saying is, maybe this has been their plan all along. If you think about it, this season has been set up pretty heavily to develop this relationship fully and give us that confirmation. Maybe the writers think they’re being slick, hoping for that one final twist in the season. But like, would it really be a twist if we look at all the evidence they’ve provided us?
#buddie#idk I’m just having a lot of thoughts right now#taylor kelly#a*a flores negativity#evan buckley#eddie diaz#but I feel like this seasons been diff for a reason#I’m not saying we’re gonna get a confession as the twist#but a definite hint that they’re taking buddie there yall#911 speculation

hi!! how are you? can you write for baku, deku, & todo where they meet their s/o family for the first time & they’re super scary? they’re all super tall, buff, full of tattoos, loud, aggressive, mean & the fam is super overprotective over s/o & the 3 are just freaking out bc s/o is the opposite? s/o is super sweet, calm, bubbly & short so the last thing they were expecting was this & they’re just freaking out & trying to get on their s/o’s family good side? sorry if that sounds complicated 😭
The more specific the ask, the better! I’ll see what my brain can come up with, I’ve just had couch medicine so
Requests are temporarily closed so I can catch up on them!
BAKUGOU KATSUKI
-Loud boi isn’t gonna let anyone know that he’s intimidated.
-He’s already a little nervous to meet your family for the first time, though he’d never admit it. You were so hesitant to ask him to come over, and at first he thought it was because he was the loud and aggressive one.
-But that Saturday afternoon when he walks up to your house and your dad answers the door, he’s like ‘oh’ and it all clicks into place.
-He loves you a lot, so he wants to make a good impression, but he also never backs down from a challenge. So he and your dad have a stare down in the doorway, until you stroll around the corner and see them.
-You scold your dad and tell him to stop being rude to your boyfriend. Your dad doesn’t say anything, but he sighs and lets Bakugou in.
-The fun doesn’t stop there, though. You tug Bakugou around the house from room to room introducing him to your family, and every single one of them gives him the same cold, mildly threatening stare.
-Ngl your uncle who lives in the basement apartment kinda scares him, but he doesn’t say anything and tries to play it cool. The guy is built like a brick house and covered head to toe in intricate tattoos.
-He doesn’t mention it, but you can tell that your boyfriend is wondering about potential ties you have to the mafia, with a guy like that living in your house. But you assure him it’s just your uncle’s quirk that gives him the art on his skin, and that he’s actually pretty shy about it and doesn’t like going out.
-The last person he meets is your mom. With everyone being so much taller and physically stronger than you, he assumes that your mom is gonna be the person you got your tiny genes from.
-Lol no
-She’s at least six feet tall, and without a doubt the most intimidating person in the house. She’s got the face of an angel and the grace of a butterfly, but behind her smile Bakugou can see the willingness to kill anyone who hurts her baby (you).
-Lunch with the fam is a little awkward at first, until your younger cousin goads Bakugou into a spice eating contest. Then the shouting at the table begins, everyone placing their bets on who they think will win. You’re the only one who bets on your boyfriend, and you get like a hundred collective bucks out of your family members when he wins.
-He’s earned the respect of your cousin, who’s like eight maybe and now deems Bakugou a respectable opponent. Bakugou is torn between yelling and patting the kid on the head, so he probably does both and shouts at the kid to keep practicing so they can try and beat him one day.
-At the end of the visit, your boyfriend is surprisingly calm. You’re walking him home, arm in arm, not really saying much. Though you do tell him that he’s taking your living situation pretty well.
-He’s like wdym? And you explain to him that most of your friends and potential partners are scared of your family and refuse to come over because of them.
-Bakugou just scoffs and is like ‘of course they are, because they’re chicken shits. As if I’d be scared of a bunch of-’ and he pauses because you start laughing, not at him, just about the situation.
-Your family actually really likes him and find him a suitable boyfriend for you. They know you’re strong, but they want someone who can protect you and who’s loyal to you, and they see that in Bakugou. They probably invite him to the next family gathering.
MIDORIYA IZUKU
-A nervous boi
-He wants so badly to make a good impression on your family, to get their approval of your relationship. He knows you’re close with them, so he doesn’t want their potential opinions of him to sway your desire to be with him.
-He dresses casually but tidy, and while he waits at the door he fiddles with his shirt a bit.
-Almost has a heart attack when your sister opens the door and glares down at him with the rage of 1000 suns.
-He does his best to introduce himself formally and be polite, but your sister is making it awfully hard for him to stay focused. She doesn’t say anything to him, so he just continues chattering until he’s off on a tangent and saying way too much.
-And you’re like ‘I feel my boyfriend danger senses tingling’ so you go downstairs and lo and behold.
-Ofc he’s not in any actual danger, just the danger of making a fool of himself. You set a hand on your sister’s arm, and the moment you do it’s like all the anger in her body dissipates and she turns into a sweet, smiling bean. Then she skips away to go do her homework.
-You pull Midoriya inside and give him a once-over anyways, just to make sure your sister didn’t burn holes in him with her glares. But he assures you he’s alright, and he’s a lot more relaxed now that you’re around.
-Probably says something like ‘I can see why you were so nervous about bringing me to your house, your older sister seems really protective of you’
-and you’re like ‘um,,,,actually she’s my younger sister’ and he’s like ‘wot’ and you’re like ‘also she’s the least scary of everyone’ and he’s like ‘wOT’
-You waste no time parading him from room to room to show him off, all while his soul slowly escapes his body.
-Your parents actually scare him the least, like, of course they’re protective of you, but they have the common courtesy not to exaggerate their scary qualities. They still tower over both you and Midoriya, but they’re mostly civil in terms of interactions.
-Your older brothers scare him a little bit more. They share the basement suite, so you drag your boyfriend downstairs to introduce them all to each other...and interrupt their poker game with their friends.
-All of them have some kind of tattoo visible, nothing Midoriya recognizes as any gang symbol, but he’s still wary. However, he manages to say hello and all the pleasantries, and actually gets a smile out of one of your brothers, who tries to rope him into a game of cards.
-Thankfully you save him with the excuse that you still have more family to show him off to, but he’s left with the promise of ‘later, then’.
-Lastly is your sister, who he’s technically already met. She’s arguably the scariest of everyone. She’s easily almost six feet tall and looks like she could bench press the two of you with ease. You promise him that she’s a literal sweet pea, but when the two of you walk up to her room, Midoriya isn’t so sure.
-She glares at him hard, like she’s judging him about everything and if he doesn’t pass she’ll snap him in half. He has to swallow the lump in his throat, and quickly looks around the room for some kind of thing to ask about that might get her to open up.
-And he sees it. One of the rarer All Might figures from an old merch line, one that he also has, so he’s like ‘do you like All Might’ and it’s like a switch is flipped.
-You breathe a sigh of relief as the two of them start nerding out about their favourite hero, sprouting facts and recalling films and old news videos. When he mentions that All Might teaches at his school, your sister honest to god squeals, and starts asking all kinds of questions about what kind of teacher he is, what he’s learned, what it’s like to be a protogee of such a great hero. He answers everything with glee, all his former fears forgotten.
-When it comes time for dinner, your sister insists that your boyfriend sit next to her, which is apparently a very high honor because one of your brothers sulks off to the other end of the table. (You assure your brother later that it’s just temporary and that your sister just really likes your boyfriend).
-But seeing the two of them interact warms your heart, it’s usually hard for your sister to make friends because she’s so intimidating, so you’re glad they’re getting along. And so does the rest of your family! They see Midoriya’s kindness and hardworking attitude, and they warm up to him pretty quickly.
-It ends up being a really enjoyable night, despite the rocky start. Though sadly yes your boyfriend does eventually get roped into a game of poker, and yes your brother’s cheat, but you cheat too, and you’re all betting in chocolate coins. You share your hoard with him.
TODOROKI SHOUTO
-He goes into it being not nervous, and ends up being Quite nervous once he meets your family.
-When he arrives, you’re thankfully the one to answer the door, so he doesn’t get hassled, so everything seems pretty normal right off the bat. Until your cousin walks through the room and is like ‘???? who’s this pipsqueak???’ and Todoroki is torn between being his usual snarky self and being polite.
-He wats to throw shade right back, but for your sake he wants to make a good impression. You’re used to his manners (or lack thereof) but he doesn’t want your family to think he’s not worthy of you. He really loves you a lot and wants to stay with you.
-So he goes for a formal introduction, even going in for a handshake. It’s kind of funny, because your cousin is like ‘lol what are manners’ but your glare forces him to return the gesture. His hand completely dwarfs your boyfriend’s, and you have to hide a snicker.
-And then the guy awkwardly wanders out of the room.
-You and Todoroki kind of just stand there for a second, and then he’s like ‘is this what you meant when you said your family was intimidating’ and you’re like ‘:3′
-You give him a tour of the house, a nice modest place with traditional aspects. It’s nowhere near as big as his, but he like it that way, it makes the place more homey and warm.
-You introduce him to family members as you come across them; your younger twin nuisances cousins, who are more mischievous than dangerous, your aunt and her wife, who look like they could get away with murder, your brother and his friends, who mostly only glare at Todoroki to try and make him uncomfortable.
-Thankfully he’s used to the stoic and slightly scary expressions, thanks to his dad. He wonders momentarily if you’re safe here, but then he realizes that everyone in the house is especially kind to you, and very affectionate when they think he’s not looking. He doesn’t even bother asking the question.
-Lastly are your parents, who are in the kitchen preparing dinner. They’re a little perturbed that you’re both in the kitchen when they’re working, but they seem to be less purposefully intimidating than everyone else. They’re still a little scary though.
-Then he notices that your parents are making soba. From scratch. Which is particularly difficult to master, so he figures they must be pretty well practiced if they’re so good at it.
-Without thinking, he asks if they’ve made soba before, and soon your parents are sprouting off about their culinary careers and the restaurant they run. You were supposed to take over one day, but you ultimately chose a different path in life, even after they taught you so much.
-Todoroki didn’t even realize you could cook, but now he wants more than anything to try your meals someday, or learn a few things from you and make dinners together.
-It startles him a little that he’s thinking so far ahead in your lives, but honestly if you’ve managed to get him as a boyfriend then you’re likely to have him for your whole life, if you want him.
-He talks a little more with your parents about the food, expressing in his way that he’s looking forward to a dinner that’s had so much hard work go into it. And you can see the little light go on in your parents’ heads, the light that signals they approve of your choice in boyfriend and have started making room in their hearts for him.
-Dinner is nice, pretty peaceful aside from your twin cousins causing their usual trouble, but he’s nonplussed by it. he still wonders how you managed to come out so small in comparison to everyone else, but it doesn’t bother him too much. He can see that you’re loved and well cared for, and a little piece of him hopes that one day he’ll be able to get to know your family even better.

Happy Birthday to Mr. Destin Daniel Cretton!
the writer-director of Shang-chi, Just Mercy, and Short term 12.
Some of my favorite films Ever.
(Here's an instagram link if you'd prefer looking at screenshots of the letter i wrote instead.)
Taylor Swift said "It's very brave to be vulnerable about your feelings in any situation, but it's even more brave to be honest about your feelings and who you love."
She also said, "I think you deserve to look back on your life without a chorus of resounding voices saying “I could’ve, but it’s too late now.” There is a time for silence. There is a time waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you’ll know it.
I don’t think you should wait. I think you should speak now."
I'm an Asian Woman. I can relate to Taylor Swift like I can relate to Shang-chi.
A favorite moment of mine, of the person I'm dedicating this post to, happens in an interview that barely has any views (relatively, when compared, that is).
It's when Mr. Cretton told the youtubers "The Film Rejects" that he watched their reaction to the first Shang-chi trailer and greg & dave promptly appropriately lost their shit :') <3.
And in that same interview, when dave remarked that he was white and that he just liked movies, mr. cretton said, "and i have both of you in me."
It is the humanity, those small moments of character and connection that... is the reason why shang-chi fucking rocked me to my core.
it is so present with mr. cretton and it's why it's so present with the film.
mr. cretton is a film director who watches the trailer reactions of youtubers to his film.
he's a biracial man and honestly, i kinda connect with that. cause like i said, i'm asian and i'm a woman. that feeling of being in two places at once and being able to connect to both but also being in between?
i get that.
so, this is me speaking now, and this is me saying happy birthday to probably my favorite filmmaker of all time, and my fellow sagittarius heh :''D <333.
Happy Birthday, sir. Thank you for everything. I say the rest in the love letter heh 😅. Hope you have (or had cus timezones TOT) a beautiful magical wonderful love-filled day 🥺🥺🥺🥺 TTTOOOOOOOTTTTTT <333333333333333.
p.s.: and i just... who else celebrates wrap days with leis? i just.... TTTOOOOTTTT <333333333
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
The Letter:
it started with a photo, to be honest.
a couple of photos that hinted at something pure sweet and special underneath.
the photo of simu with an asian woman i didn't recognize then.
it piqued my interest. it was such a sweet tiny little thing… only noticed by the people who followed mr. cretton, or if you were like me, waiting and SCROUNGING for any scraps of shang-chi content I could get cause I just… IT WAS SPECIAL TO ME AND I ALREADY LOVED IT SO MUCH AND I WAS SO EXCITED FOR IT TOT.
this photo was just so sweet even when I didn’t know who meng’er was…
it just… conveyed so much joy happiness and celebration.
even if you didn’t know anything about what was happening in the photo and who these people were… it just conveyed so much joy & love.
and I don’t know which came first, watching just mercy or seeing those dedication posts mr. cretton did…
but it was just mercy that convinced me, the moment I knew… shang-chi was going to fucking destroy me.
it’s sort of a shame I wasn’t able to capture & commemorate the night our entire fam watched shang-chi…
but I’ll know the memory of that night will be burned into my brain forever.
(and not just cause it was also red tv day. honestly nov 12 truly was the day I died tbh hah)
you see, my family and I aren’t often complete, mr. cretton. but because of this pandemic, for the worst (if we’re being honest) and just silver linings of better, we were.
I feel…
I feel happy, to be alive, to have experienced that moment.
those moments of laughter with my entire family because of shang-chi.
for once, we were complete. and we were celebrating something asian. and we were having fun, SO MUCH FUN, together <3.
we talked, we ate, we laughed, we REJOICED. when shang-chi took down the mega soul sucker bitch (XD), the eldest sister and brother in our family literally shouted out loud “PROOF THAT THE DWELLER IN DARKNESS HAS A HEART” cause… cause it was like shang gave them an arc reactor?? right??? XD XD XD X’’’’D
we just… we laughed so much in shang-chi, mr. cretton.
I get teary eyed just reminiscing of how happy & just how much we enjoyed and loved the humor in the film.
I’m two ways, because on one hand, some critics have points in the what ifs. what if shang wasn’t a studio film and you were given full creative control…
if you were given more time
if this wasn’t like, the one shot you guys had to prove yourselves
(cause i… I genuinely FEEL AND BELIEVE, that fueled your filmmaking process. you guys tried to do as much cool awesome complex stuff as you could since WHO THE FUCK KNOWS IF YOU’LL BE ABLE TO DO IT AGAIN RIGHT?? this was your one shot. you guys were going to make it count and put as much heart & complexity in it as much as you could.)
would the film be more focused on the emotional moments? be able to go even deeper into the characters’ history and humanity?
EVEN THOUGH I WILL FUCKING ARGUE TO THE DEATH. THAT SHANG CHI HAS INFINITE TIMES MORE HUMANITY THAN EVERY OTHER FUCKING MCU ORIGIN MOVIE (MAYBE EVERY SINGULAR MOVIE). GO AHEAD. TRY ME, BITCH. I’M BEGGING YOU, FIGHT ME-
deep sigh…
honestly, I think I’m just tired of people shitting on “stupid bland mcu humor”
when moments that I had with my family exist.
they happened because of you.
SO WHAT IF THE CHARACTERS QUIP A LOT??
THE HUMOR HAD SO MUCH HUMANITY AND DO YALLS JUST HATE HAPPINESS AND JOY AND LAUGHTER??
THE COMEDY IN THIS FILM WAS JUST SO FUCKING SWEET AND ENDEARING AND I’LL BE FUCKING DAMNED TO HELL IF I LET YOU DISREGARD IT AS JUST THE “typical bland dumb mcu quipping”
CAUSE IT FUCKING WASN’T. I’LL LITERALLY HITCH A RIDE WITH SANTA AND PERSONALLY GO TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE HOUSES OF EVERYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE. I’M READY, BITCH. LETSS GOOOOOOOOOOO-
sigh…
like a great poet said…
“maybe I’m too emotional, but your apathy’s like a wound in salt” – olivia rodrigo (A FIL AM SINGER-SONGWRITER TTTOOOTTTT), good 4 u
the apathy’s gotten to me.
the fact that I have to sift through AN OCEAN OF IT, to find the good.
while other properties can get their praise and love and fandom fresh baked hand kneaded delivered right on their doorstep with a smile and ‘have a good day.’
but… a poc animator & creator and a comedian also cemented this quote for me:
“Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.
This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world – ‘No, YOU move.’”
― J. Michael Straczynski (writing for Captain America), The Amazing Spider-Man: Civil War
A PERSON OF COLOR WHO LOVES ANIME & ANIMATION CAN BELIEVE IN THIS QUOTE.
AS WELL AS A PERSON WHO YEAH BELIEVES COMEDY CAN BE DEEP. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ALL SLOW INTENTIONAL DRAMATIC MOMENTS. HUMOR CAN BE DEEP AND TOUCH HEARTS.
so just because it’s… honestly?
fucking heart breaking and soul crushing to love shang-chi…
doesn’t mean I should stop. or that it isn’t worth it. cause it is.
THOSE MOMENTS OF LAUGHTER YOU GAVE ME AND MY FAMILY.
THE HUMOR THAT SO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE HATE??
IT MATTERS.
EVEN IF THE WORLD HATES IT, THE LOVE AND JOY AND LAUGHTER AND HEART AND MEMORIES WE HAD MATTER.
It Matters.
so… sigh…
I think I just want to say that you gave me something worth fighting for, something I believe in.
you gave me and my family, love and laughter and joy and FUN!
I will forever be thankful and grateful to you for that.
we just…
I think for the first time, we felt truly seen.
my sister and I saw ourselves on screen when we saw shang and xialing exchange wordless BUT SO MEANINGFUL looks AT THE DINNER TABLE when wenwu pontificated about himself LIKE ASIAN DADS *ARE* LIABLE TO DO.
WE KNOW BECAUSE OURS DOES.
ALSO AT THE DINNER TABLE.
OFTEN IN EVERY DINNER TBH.
OUR ENTIRE LIVES WERE IN THAT SINGLE BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS IT SCENE.
WE SAW OURSELVES IN FRONT OF US.
WE EXISTED, OUR STORIES CAN EXIST AND BE TOLD.
WHEN SHANG AND KATY GOT DRUNK AND WENT TO KARAOKE?? AND WAS KNOCKED OUT AT THE END OF IT??
MY SIBLINGS LAUGHED. (probably cause they’re old enough to have those experiences. I turned 20 in lockdown, sooo….)
THEY SAW THEM SING A WHOLE NEW WORLD AND MY SISTER REMARKED “MOOD!!!!”
WHEN KATY’S GRANDMA TALKED ABOUT LEAVING BEHIND FOOD FOR HER HUSBAND??
MY BROTHER LAUGHED. (he lived with our grandma and that’s why he’s usually not with us. that’s why I think he laughed… I think it’s special for him…)
WE LAUGHED AT KATY’S WEIRDNESS AND EXHUBERANT NATURE.
WE FUCKING *CHEERED ALONG TOO!!!*
WHEN WONG FUCKING TOOK DOWN ABOMINATION WITH THAT PORTAL MOVE??
OUR JAWS WERE DROPPED AND WE FUCKING CHEERED RIGHT ALONG WITH THAT AUDIENCE, SHOUTING “WONG! WONG! WONG! WONG!”
we’d remark on how ying li and wenwu didn’t age in the film and our sister talked about it afterwards remarking “Asian Don’t Raisin B)”
I ALWAYS BET ON ASIAN IS NOW A NEW CATCHPHRASE ME AND MY SISTER ARE SURE TO USE FOR ALL TIME, MR. CRETTON.
NEVER MIND THE FUCKING HUMANITY FUCKING WENWU POSSESSED THE ENTIRETY OF THE FILM, THAT HE NEVER FUCKING LOST NOT ONCE.
AND JUST….
THE IMPORTANCE AND DEPTH THAT YOU’D INTENTIONALLY PUT THERE???
THE HIM GOING TO THE SHRINE OF HIS WIFE AT HER VILLAGE FIRST?
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.
THE DEPTH & IMPORTANCE OF THE MOMENT HE USED HALF OF THE RINGS TO LAND THAT BLOW ON HIS SON???
LIKE THAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT SHOWED,
he… he hurt his own son…
almost killed him…
showing just, just how far gone he was now?
I LITERALLY FUCKING SOB, THINKING ABOUT THAT MONTAGE OF MOMENTS HE HELD & LOOKED AT HIS SON. ENDING WITH THE VERY FIRST ONE????
(and I’m sorry, but I can’t help but think of how this means for -you- personally sir… like, in that moment where wenwu held shang… it was like it was you holding your own kid.
what with what you’d say where your main motivation for making this film was wanting your child to have a hero that looked like them…
and I also just recall what simu said about the sacrifices you went through just to make this film. what with the pandemic, and you had to quarantine, and your newborn, AND STILL SHOOT THROUGH IT ALL…
I just… I think that moment held… so much.
I think that moment held all, EVERY LOVE YOU HAD IN YOUR ENTIRE BEING FOR YOUR FAMILY… I think it was in that moment. and it was in every fucking moment of this film.
like how wenwu did everything for his family… you did everything for yours. YOU DID ALL OF THIS FOR YOURS.
*cue actual literal sobbing again* no, seriously, I immediately cried as soon as I wrote that…
I just think… that first moment where you held your child, for the very first time, welcoming them & bringing them into the world…
there are no words.
it’s just, felt.
and I felt it, sir. like, damn, I feel it…
with every fiber of my soul & heart & being… I feel it.)
AND THEN JUST…
THE MOMENT WITH HIM GIVING THE RINGS SYMBOLIZING HIM BEING WORTHY OF IT.
ESSENTIALLY HIM SAYING HE’S PROUD OF HIM WITHOUT ACTUALLY SAYING IT CAUSE HE’S STILL FUCKING ASIAN AFTER ALL.
CAUSE the thing about asians is so much of us is such wordless unacknowledged love & devotion
it truly is such an actions speak louder than words culture
slight brief looks & glances can mean Everything, and they do.
i don't actually want to fight, you know?
i see ignorant people push aside this unique story and it angers me.
and i hate that it does.
i hate you can't see the most vital difference that differentiates shang & the gang's story.
love.
in the end, the "villain" ended up reforming himself. redeeming himself.
not a single one of the mcu's villains have done that. make the choice to do the good thing for once.
genuine true humane love.
but yeah, sure. it's basically ego & howard & t'chaka & odin & thanos' story just cause they're dads too. who gives a single flying fuck.
just cause the conversations aren't shouty & flashy doesn't mean they aren't as important.
anyone wanna talk about the poetic awesome lines in the film?
the gorgeous jaw dropping visuals and set design?
the humor family & love & compassion & kindness?
shang chi is such an asian story
you often have to grapple with your heritage with where it stands in modern society
but shang chi allows that choice to just be
to not have to make a choice, choose one or the other
you can be both
you get to decide which parts you take up
that's your right
you get to just be you
action was epic. relationships were everything.
so much kindness and love and family and life filled the film.
i'll never forget the look of excitement my siblings had as we watched shang & katy literally get welcomed with open arms into the marvel universe :')
Birthdays should be celebrated, it means another year where a person you love is still in the world.
(CRASH LANDING ON YOU QUOTE, WRITTEN BY PARK JI-EUN, A KOREAN WOMAN. SHE’S AN ASIAN WOMAN LIKE ME SO IT JUST MEANS SO MUCH FOR A FAVE SHOW OF MINE TO BE WRITTEN BY SOMEONE LIKE ME TTTOOOOTTTTT. TAKE THIS AS MY OFFICIAL REC TO WATCH THE AMAZING BEAUTIFUL HEARTBREAKING SOUL UPLIFITING EMOTIONAL LOVING SHOW.)
I love you, sir.
you give me so much hope & faith, you make me believe in the world & humanity & life.
I hope you have (or had cause timezones TOT) THE HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS, YOU INCREDIBLE WONDERFUL IMPERFECT WEIRDO HUMAN, YOU TTTOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT <33333333
just in case it wasn’t clear…
your films mean a lot to me.
short term 12 meant A LOT. I’m a freaking psych major for crying out loud. it genuinely makes me feel like brie’s AND YOUR job there could be a job option for me too…
AND THE FUCKING HEARTBREAK AND HOPE IN JUST MERCY???
I think it’s sort of official you’re probably my favorite filmmaker…
thank you for everything, sir. I love you so much. I’m forever grateful for your existence. thank you for being you, my fellow sagittarius heh :’’) <3.

2020 in review: kdramas (the heart fluttering, the disappointing, the saviors of 2020)
it’s december 31st! the new year is quite literally upon us (some of y’all are already in 2021) and my procrastinating self has chosen to upload this today. i’ve always loved these rec lists and I wanted to do one for 2020! this year was a rollercoaster for kdramas with some excellent ones and some not so excellent ones. i watched all of these in 2020 but not all of them were released in 2020.
if you want to use my questions to make your own list please do!! or give your favs in the tags, i’d love to read them. (fair warning, some of these have multiple answers bc i just can’t choose one!!)
drama that made me laugh
When The Camellia Blooms (2019)
i finally got around to watching when the camellia blooms this year and it. was. so. funny. oh my goodness, the comedic timing in so many scenes was pure excellency and im kinda mad at myself that i didn’t watch this last year. this isn’t just a comedy for those who are interested, its a thriller/romance but its also so fucking funny. definitely watch this if you want to laugh (and be touched bc the emotional scenes in this one are beautiful)
drama that made me cry
Sweet Home (2020)
hahah….. um this one is gonna go to sweet home friends. i went into this one with zero expectations and the first couple episodes didn’t really wow me? but i kept watching and holy shit fam. this show really picks up story-wise around ep 4 and makes the viewer love a lot of these initially unlikable characters. all i can say is that the end was devastating for me and i cried quite a bit. (warning, there are a lot of mature themes in this one so make sure you look for trigger warnings or send me an ask and i’ll list them all out for you)
best OST
Itaewon Class (2020)
i loved the ost for itaewon class!! the music is just so inspirational and pump up music, its so good. my favorites are ‘you make me back’ by woosung and ‘start’ by gaho.
drama with chemistry royalty (aka the best couple)
i have three for this one because i just cannot choose one.
It’s Okay To Not Be Okay (2020)
we recognize this one as one of the best things to come out of 2020. go moon young and moon kang tae have some of the best chemistry i have ever seen in a drama couple. i waited on the edge of my seat every single week for the next couple of episode just so i could fawn over these two. they work so well together, lift each other up, and so fucking funny together and support one another. while they’re not the chillest couple (lmao) they’re most certainly one with the most personality. they’re so cute and bicker and they just get each other. who could ask for more.
Flower of Evil (2020)
our badass mom and dad 😭😭. this was another peak drama that came out this year and our married partners-in-crime-but-not-really had amazing chemistry. baek hee sung and cha ji won were so cute as a married couple but they were even more precious later on in the drama after certain things unfolded (no spoilers). they both just get each other and protected one another as well as on the most precious kdrama children this year, their daughter eunha. they were so wholesome, flower of evil is so very worth a watch.
Into The Ring (2020)
this was one of the more underappreciated kdramas of the year but hoo buddy was the main couples chemistry top notch. they were so friggin cute and i just couldn’t. goo se ra is highkey one of the best female characters i’ve ever seen, she’s absolute chaos, lawful chaos, but chaos nonetheless. her other half, seo gong myung is opposite from her as lawful neutral. he’s just along for the ride that is se ra and loves her. they’re both so very fond and protective of each other and back each other up!! very very cute and you’ll definitely replay more than a couple of their scenes together.
most disappointing
Record of Youth (2020)
it’s sad but true… i went into this one with so much hope and excitement (i was riding off that ‘psycho but its okay’ high) and i was vastly disappointed. the plot mostly focused on the male lead, and there wasn’t much characterization for the female lead which i didn’t like. honestly, i only cared about maybe 3-4? characters in the whole drama. the rest were absolutely terrible or plain boring and i ended up skipping eps 14 and 15 and just watched the finale. i would not recommend tbh.
drama you can’t really get through
Crash Landing on You (2019)
this one is absolutely on me, i want so badly to love this one. but i just… can’t seem to get past ep 2? i’ve tried!! i swear, but i just cannot get through it. maybe in 2021, i can try again and i’ll enjoy it more.
drama everyone else liked but was meh
Kairos (2020)
i though kairos was a bit predictable tbh. i know those of us who did end up watching it really liked it but maybe its because i watch so many crime/mystery shows that this one didn’t really do it for me. the writing is quite solid and everything connects well, i would recommend that those who don’t really watch thrillers, to watch this one. (also the friendship between the female lead and her two friends is suuuper cute and worth it alone to watch kairos)
favorite romance
It’s Okay To Not Be Okay (2020)
yeah… this one wins again lol. what can i say, i just loved it so much and the main theme of the show is romance (its also a comedy and a mental health/healing drama) all i can say is watch this if you haven’t yet, its definitely worth it!!
favorite mystery
Memorist (2020) & Watcher (2019)
i really enjoyed these two mystery dramas. both were super fun to watch and very kinda unique in their own ways. i liked memorist because it was lowkey funny and i liked the relationships between the characters, but most importantly i couldn’t guess the main antagonist by the end! i really thought i knew who it was and then i was completely wrong lmao. watcher was also very good, the main trio had really good chemistry and i really cared about all the characters. (also i’ll never say no to watching seo kang joon) plus the plot twists threw me a bit at the end which is always a feeling i welcome, i love being surprised and wrong (as long as it makes sense)
favorite slice of life
Hospital Playlist (2020)
oh my goodness, i was late to the hospital playlist party and i regret it because this show is so. so. good. its just a slice of life following 5 friends who are doctors and work at the same hospital together but its so much more than that. this is honestly one of the first shows i’ve seen that are optimistic? in the show, every time i thought a plot was going to play out a certain way (usually negatively, as tends to be life unfortunately) it surprised me by taking the more optimistic wholesome route. characters in subplots changed for the better, became more understanding, chose to do the right thing, etc. if you want a feel good drama where the main characters have wonderful platonic chemistry and just care about each other but is also super funny, watch hospital playlist!! (season 2 is coming out early 2021 and im so pumped)
favorite fantasy
The Untamed (2019)
this one is a cdrama but i watched it in 2020, mostly because of how many people on the internet were adamant that the rest of us watch this and ngl they were v right. the untamed was very very good and im really glad i gave it a chance and watched it, its also my first cdrama ever. the chemistry between the male leads is honestly what makes this show and its worth the 50? i think? episodes. to be completely honest the fanfiction for the show are peak and if you do watch this, go straight to ao3 and you will not be disappointed.
dramas that saved 2020
The Uncanny Counter (2020) & Run On (2020)
these two dramas are among those that started airing at the end of the year and will go into the beginning of 2021 and absolutely saved the end of 2020 for me. while neither of these are finished, both have been excellent so far and worth starting. uncanny counter has the best use of the found family trope i have ever seen. i fucking love the four counters and their relationship with each other, how protective they are of one another. they all have amazing chemistry and the actors have amazing chemistry in the making films.
run on has one of the cutest couples that will definitely make my best chemistry list for next year. i didn’t put them on this list bc they actually haven’t gotten together yet but once they do, they’re gonna be freaking adorable, i can already tell. there’s no specific grand events propelling the plot forward, but just following the lives of these unique, interesting and relatable people who have casual yet entertaining conversations with each other. the show is super soft and the main couple are so straightforward and honest (plus theres mutual pining!!)
best dramas of the year
here are my best dramas (and one movie) watched this year, no further explanation given lolol. just watch them and enjoy because these are fucking excellent in the feels department. trust me 💞
It’s Okay To Not Be Okay (2020)
Flower of Evil (2020)
Itaewon Class (2020)
Hospital Playlist (2020)
One Spring Night (2019)
Midnight Runners (2017)
Hot Stove League (2019)
I hope this gives you some fun stuff to watch!! or convince you to start that drama in your watchlists!

Hello, hi wow it's been a while since I've posted on the tag. Then again there is really nothing to post about it really speculate about. Anyways, we got the episode names which is fun and some photo bare minimum. With this though I wanted to make a post about the episode names and the synopsis of episode two of s11 I wanna talk about specifically the part of;
' Daryl is in his own intense hellish situation trying to find dog and finding more than he expected '
Like many others who I have seen on here and on Twitter my mind went ' it's Leah '. We knew she was coming back and specifically them using dog as a way of leading Daryl to Leah as it sounds in this is very remanist of in Find me where dog leads Carol and Daryl to the cabin. Now as I said we knew Lynn was coming back as Leah we suspected as much. But I want to talk more on how the importance of the Leah is a reaper theory comes into the episode names in my mind. To break down:
11×01: Acheron Part I
11×02: Acheron Part II
- Acheron a river in Greece and known in Greece mythology as the ' river of woe ' and one of the five rivers of the underworld. This river would be a passage for the newly deceased into the underworld. I thought it was interesting that they are naming a two part episode after Greek mythology and especially the river of woe, of sorrow of distress. This could possibly be the inevitable end to Alexandria or something more. There is a need for food and a need to rebuild to survive could this be why they used this myth as well as in episode two having to fight walker. So basically all in all this two parter will possibly be sorrowful. With the return of Leah though the next few episode names is where I thought of what the writers may or may not being doing.
11×03: Hunted
11×04:Rendition
11×05: Out of the Ashes ( if this isn't a Caryl EP I will riot )
11×06: On the Inside
11×07: Promises Broken
11×08: For Blood.
Okay these episodes right here their names I really like them and my brain may be making up shit or thinking up a possible dream story but heres what I thought may happen when I read after ep1 and 2 names.
So episode threes name for me went for two things 1. Being Daryl being hunted by Leah and the reaper's ( I'm not so sure about that one ) 2. Daryl being hunted by his past of Leah so her presence being there as well as the group being hunted by the reaper's specifically Maggie her story to this and how Leah being a reaper will make the story that more interesting. Because of whatever hold she has on Daryl can be used to her advantage.
Episode four being name Rendition I thought was interesting in two ways in story wise. Rendition is a performative piece of music so a performance is being performed from Eugene group possible to get to the commonwealth. And as well as Leah to get her way into the group and get to Maggie to preform as a defensively, alone in order for that hold on Daryl to be held. A performance is going to happen in each way.
Out of the ashes episode 5 like I said will fight if it's not a Caryl episode. I'm joking... Kind of. Out of the ashes to me sounds like a big phew moment maybe the group find food, find Connie, get in contact with Eugene group. All of that to me is what I think this episode may be a kind of relief but not really. Cause it's TWD and we haven't known relief for years. Like episode one and two this episode I don't really have a lot to say expect that.
Episode six, On the Inside, now from I think it apparent filming spoilers of Norman filming as Daryl with reaper's there has been this theory going about that Daryl will actually be a reaper because of Leah which I'm not going lie to me just sounds like bad story telling if it goes through. Daryl character had found his place in where he belongs which is with team fam he says as much to Carol in find me. To me On the Inside would be where Leah found in EP 2 would come into play with her reaper story line. She is on the inside of the group now possibly part of it she is inside there walls and she has infiltrated the group which in order for her possibly maybe being a reaper leader gives her a head start on how to get to Maggie to know the group and the bring it all down and burn it, pillage and take everything. I don't think Daryl is working with the reaper like I said it would be a horrible 360 on his character now but infact Leah infiltrating on the inside. As well as Eugene group getting a feel for the commonwealth scooping it out. Seeing what that life is.
Promises broken this episode is why I think it's Leah working on the inside of the group to infiltrate. She has most likely told Daryl she doesn't have a group in order to get to Maggie since the reaper's seem to be her storyline and now Daryl possibly with Leah. Like I said I think Leah from the inside of the group will try to burn it all down like with the Whispers expect Leah will be smart about it hitting already weak points like alpha did but not showing her hand too quickly. Remmber the hold on Daryl I said about she will try to use that break him down more against the group possibly reminding him of his time in the woods. Maybe he's sees through it through the lie hence a Promise broken. She is break that hold on him promise of his past of which he left and felt guilty about where he thought he belonged broken. Which would tie into.
The half way point... I think. For Blood episode eight. The reaper want blood as we've seen a little in the extra episode specifically Maggie groups blood and now it will be all of Alexandria who is Maggie group. I feel in this episode as it is the half way point Leah will show her true colours to everyone making Daryl feel at blame as he has let her into the group and now put HIS BLOOD his family at danger to the reaper's. I think a fight will pan out in this episode and as one of my friends said maybe Daryl will have to chose to either still feel this hold Leah had over him and sacrifice Leah For Blood, for his family to feel he has right his own wrong.
Yeah so basically tada. This is all been stuck in my head for about two days now and I thought I'd share. I'd like to know others opinions on these episodes as well. So I'm just going to peace out again and not post until the trailer comes out.
PSA I do know this has little to nothing to do with Caryl but the Caryl tag is where I post most. I am a Caryl account this is also where I seen the most speculation.

Mcu hot takes
Peter parker is an underdeveloped character. He's just iron man jr. Y'all just like him bc he's played by tom holland and we finally get spidey in the mcu. He's just a self insert character
Captain marvel was a decent movie. It wasn't that great. Y'all just like the wlw undertones and are desperate for a woman led marvel superhero movie. Or you just love brie larson
Carol danvers is an underdeveloped character we don't know jack shit about her except that she encounters sexism and was nice to the skrulls when she learned the truth.
We should have gotten a monica rambeau movie instead or they could have just... Not make her a child that looks up to carol
Black panther is the most feminist marvel movie
Steve rogers is actually a kind sweetheart who will constantly fight for what's right. Y'all 1940's jokes are kinda funny but this is also the same guy that jumped on a grenade and would get into fight with bullies
Bucky barnes is an underdeveloped character. Post catws he's just a plot device. Alot of y'all thoughts about him are just fanon interpretation
Sam wilson deserves the shield due to the fact that he's the only person in the mcu that's similar to steve. Y'all are just racist
Stop calling ppl "misogynistic" or "sexist" just bc they don't like captain marvel. The film actually has flaws
Nebula should have killed thanos
The ant man films are fun and engaging. That's it. Send tweet
Thor and valkyrie were flirting in ragnarok y'all just hate black women
Alot of these popular m/m ships are just bc y'all like white men making out. Some of them don't have any chemistry/interact
Mcu hawkeye sucks. But he shouldn't just be the matt fraction version. Please read other hawkeye comics I'm begging you.
Shuri is the smartest person in the mcu stop making her just someone for peter to hang out with
Carol is strong. But scarlet witch, hulk, and thor are wayy stronger. Marvel just said that so that you'll see captain marvel lmao
T'challa is more than just the "furry avenger" y'all are just white and don't know how to relate to black characters
Rhodey is a badass and tony would not make it as far as he did without him
Natasha romanoff is more than just someone bucky dated. She's a spy/assassian who went under her own brainwashing as well. Please read a comic that's not brubaker's bucky cap run
Clint should have jumped off the cliff no one gives a fuck about him
Thanos is a lame villian. I mean hes good for the mcu starting out but there are more compelling and interesting villains out there
Stucky is based on co-depency. It makes no sense in the mcu canon. Bucky keeps trying to get away from steve and steve keeps trying to get 1940s back and not acknowledging his trauma/brainwashing
Stony is bad bc it's based on them fighting constantly. That shit is unhealthy. And steve (rightfully so) beat his ass in canon
Team iron man folks don't know what the accords are they just like tony
Ironstrange is bad too bc y'all just use it to hate on steve
I've never seen gotg 2 bc i hate chris pratt but they're the only team that's also a family besides like the ant man fam
Stop sleeping on luis he's Scott's only friend lmao
That's it for now! Might make a part 2 lmao

Me and You Together, 4/10 (Taywhora) - Ortega
fic summary: The cardinal rule of having flatmates is that you Do Not Catch Feelings For Your Flatmates, because everything inevitably goes to shit and gets made horrifically awkward. A’whora and Tayce both know this, but being in first year of uni and making good decisions have never really gone hand in hand.
a/n: fam this response is crazy it really is…thank u all so much for the love, kudos and comments, i’m so sorry if i’ve not managed to reply to urs yet but know that i’ve read them all and cherish every one and i will get round to replying and yelling some love and thanks at u soon!!! pls enjoy this chapter in which A'whora does not possess the flat’s shared brain cell at any point. that being said, i wish all the readers of this fic a very pleasant italicised ‘oh’ xo
last chapter: January-Tayce and A’whora still had unfinished business from a night out and a hungover morning in December.
this chapter: October- The gang make plans for their first year together, Tia gives everyone plans for the evening, and A'whora has a realisation that will change the dynamic of her friendship with Tayce forever.
***
“Bimini, what is it you’re actually doing?”
A’whora’s intrigued by the way her flatmate’s sitting on the sofa: legs crossed, notepad in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and looking deep in thought. They’ve not long since stretched over the smoke detector with a sock, having long since established nobody in the flat minds them smoking indoors as long as the windows are open. Lawrence is beside them on the other end of the sofa having been to all the lectures that’re required of her already today and has got a bright pink, blue and purple-flecked ball of yarn hanging from two knitting needles, with which she seems to be knitting some sort of cosy accessory. It’s a wholesome picture that’s playing out in front of A’whora, one that’s miles away from the raucous, drunk nights they’ve all shared in the first month of uni so far.
“Okay, here’s what it is,” Bimini starts, clicking their long nails together. “I am making us a freshers bucket list, and I want your input.”
“Ooh!” Lawrence perks up beside them, and A’whora, interest piqued, picks up the bowl of pasta, butter and cheese she’s spent all of five minutes making and crosses the room to sit beside her flatmates.
She knows it’s only been a month so far, but she really loves everyone she’s living with. For a start, there are four of them that take classes at the art college (the ‘art hoes’, as Tayce calls them), so they all get to walk to lectures together and hang about between classes and workshops with each other depending on how their days are going. Bimini is almost always in the flat, with not a lot of contact hours making up their journalism degree, so they’re a comforting presence for A’whora to come home to at whatever hour of the day, always asking how she is and always offering to make her coffee. Tia is sweet and funny (if ever-so-slightly grating to her at first) and they’ve bonded over being the only two flatmates seemingly able to keep the place clean and tidy. Lawrence is endearing and big-hearted, if A’whora spends half her life hoping that her next prank isn’t involving her in some way (Ellie is usually the butt of them). Ellie herself is one of A’whora’s closest flatmates; they’ll often stay up half the night finishing prototypes or assignments together, all while watching a film which they have spookily similar taste in- they’ve agreed on 101 and 102 Dalmatians, Hocus Pocus, and The Wizard of Oz so far.
And then there’s Tayce, who A’whora thinks is both the absolute carbon copy of herself and yet also so different, the yin to her yang. Tayce has been her closest friend in the flat since day one when she booted the door to her room down and dragged her out of her emotional stupor, and that’s really what’s set the tone for the rest of their friendship; Tayce, upbeat and motivating, constantly and infectiously helping A’whora feel the same way even when she doesn’t want to go out, or doesn’t feel like dragging herself out of her room for a chill flat night with the others, or even when she just feels like a heap of shit. She’s such a fun and positive person to be around, relentlessly optimistic and goofy, and she brings out that side of A’whora too. As opposed to during sixth form and high school, where she’d put up a front to make sure nobody fucked with her, A’whora finds that at uni she can be the person she truly is and let her guard down a little.
This includes being open about her sexuality for the first time ever. She’s out to her family (for the better or worse), but nobody else back home knows (not even her friends) and she wants to keep it that way for now. But at uni things are different- nobody knows her here, nobody has these preconceived ideas of who she is and who she has to be, so she’d taken the plunge and been open about everything. None of the others had cared of course, in fact they’d all been too excited about the fact there’s not a single straight person in their flat comprised of four lesbians (Tayce, Lawrence, Tia and A’whora), one bi (Ellie) and one pan (Bimini).
“What’ve you got so far?” A’whora asks Bimini, sitting down on the sofa opposite her two flatmates.
Bimini reads off their notepad. “Casino night, bottomless brunch…get the train down to Newcastle, have a big night out, stay out all night an’ get the first train home-”
“Christ, that’ll be a challenge for me, you know I get sleepy around midnight,” Lawrence chuckles.
Bimini shrugs. “We’ll just get you an IV drip of Ellie’s Monster, you’ll be alright.”
“What else’ve you got?”
“That’s it so far.”
A’whora spears a pasta spiral, tilts her head in thought as she eats it. “Get drunk in a lecture.”
“Aw, good one!” Lawrence cries enthusiastically. Bimini, for their part, frowns with disapproval.
“Wait, no! Not a good one. Not a good one at all. It’s alright for you art school bitches, you’ve got some lectures together and you can coordinate, where does that leave me n’ Tia?”
“I guess that leaves you…downing a bottle of five pound chardonnay on the back bench of a lecture hall like a tramp with a drinking problem,” Lawrence shrugs, A’whora yelping out a laugh as Bimini shoves Lawrence with their foot.
Just then, there’s movement in the hall and as A’whora turns around she’s greeted by the sight of a tired-looking Tayce and Ellie walking into the kitchen. They shrug off their coats and take off their shoes and dump their bags on the kitchen table with a huff before they walk over to the others. Tayce spreads herself out over the sofa that A’whora’s sitting on, thudding her feet onto her lap without asking permission, to which A’whora instantly pushes them off her and gets a glare and a smirk in return.
“Lawrie, are you knitting?” Ellie laughs, sitting on the arm of the sofa beside her.
“Yeah? And?”
Ellie snorts in amusement. “Just didn’t realise we were living with a wee granny.”
“Well actually, bawbag! I was in the middle of making you a scarf because I can’t stand to listen to you talking shite about how you’re cold every time we leave the flat, but I can leave it if you want,” Lawrence explains. A’whora thinks it’s funny how Ellie backtracks immediately; she can’t tell if she’s blushing or just out of breath from scaling their block’s stairs. Bimini gains control of the conversation, tilting their head in intrigue.
“How were your lectures, huns?”
“Shit, thanks for asking,” Tayce groans, thudding her head down dramatically against the sofa cushions. “I don’t know, I just can’t concentrate when I’m getting talked at for an hour at a time. I need to be doing stuff, you know?”
“Feel that,” Ellie joins in, deflated. A’whora can sympathise- she loves the practical elements of her course, but not so much the lectures. She’s glad she shares a lot of them with Ellie, and the two of them can dick about and text each other and doodle designs in their notebooks while keeping one ear on whoever’s speaking.
“Well if you want to be doing something, you can help us with this,” Bimini suggests, explaining the bucket list they’ve been making.
The girls get settled and the ideas start to flow, Lawrence putting her speakers on for background noise as they all come up with new and increasingly more chaotic exploits. Ellie suggests trying every cocktail in Levels which gets scribbled down into Bimini’s notepad, and Tayce suggests going to Levels sober, which doesn’t get afforded the same appreciation. A’whora comes up with crashing the catered halls for breakfast one day, which they all agree is a good idea but the chances of it actually happening are low considering the earliest riser in the flat is Tayce and even she doesn’t waken up til half nine on a weekend.
“What’re some clubs we’ve not been to yet?” Bimini asks, shrugging. “Could put those down, try an’ visit every one in the city?”
Lawrence snorts derisively. “You go to Underground if you want your phone stolen, Velvet if you want to be bullied by fifteen year olds in the toilets, and Crystal if you want to subject yourself to painful misogyny and probably some light sexual assault.”
“So none of those, then,” Bimini murmurs.
“Those are all really het as well, though,” Ellie wrinkles her nose up in distaste. Then her face lights up as she gets an idea. “Oh! Put down Pride in July.”
“Nice one,” Bimini nods as they scribble down Ellie’s suggestion, the others making little hums of approval.
The conversation goes on for quite some time. Halfway through it Tayce seems to decide she’s bored of lying down and instead moves to sit on the floor between A’whora’s legs, asking her to play with her hair. They’ll do this sometimes- it’s a routine they fall into, A’whora being able to style Tayce’s endlessly long, straight hair and Tayce finding the whole thing therapeutic. They have a lot of little routines like this: they’ll sit close together on the sofa during a flat movie night and take turns leaning on each others’ shoulders, spontaneously give each other hugs at random points throughout the day, trace patterns into each others’ palms when the other seems stressed.
It’s nice. A’whora’s never really had a friendship like this, soft and caring and kind. In school her group was the kind that made catty jokes about each other then buffered them with a “love you!” afterwards and took kissy-face group selfies only to bitch about each other on a private group chat mere hours later. If it was a wolfpack then it was rabid and cannibalistic, and it had seemed like a full-time job ensuring she was never the runt of it. What she’s got with all her flatmates now- especially Tayce- makes her feel like she can finally breathe.
“What about the Centurion Challenge?” Lawrence suggests with a small gasp, breaking A’whora’s reverie as she expertly twirls Tayce’s hair into a loose and chunky French plait.
“Jesus Christ, Lawrence,” Ellie mutters in amusement.
“What’s the Centurion Challenge?” Bimini asks, pulling a face.
Lawrence gives a blythe shrug as she elaborates. “A hundred shots in a hundred minutes.”
A’whora ruins Tayce’s braid in shock, her hair untwisting itself from the braid as if it’s outraged too. The cry she gives joins in harmony with that of Tayce’s and Bimini’s. “A hundred shots? You’d fucking die!”
“Not of vodka! Obviously not of vodka! I know we all have one communal brain cell between us but Christ, can one of yous not use it?!” Lawrence protests. “It’s a hundred shots of beer. Don’t shit yourselves.”
“Aw, well that’s alright then,” Bimini pipes up sarcastically. “What’s actually wrong with Scottish people? Is your breastmilk spiked with whiskey? What d’you get instead of Cow and Gate formula, just cocaine?"
“Actually, a hundred shots of beer sounds more doable to me,” Tayce shrugs, and A’whora can feel her relax against her lap.
“I’d need to change it, I can’t stand beer,” A’whora considers. Ellie cocks her head in consideration.
“Well what alcohol do you like?”
“Fucking none of it,” A’whora laughs. “Cocktails. Vodka cokes. Anything where there’s juice to cover it up.”
Tayce twists her head to look up at her, a little twinkle of mischief in her eye. “I think the challenge ceases to be a challenge when it’s reduced to one hundred watered down shots of Woo Woo, Rory.”
As the others blurt out a laugh A’whora glares down at Tayce, but she can’t help but break out into a giggle too when Tayce grabs her knee and gives it a playful wobble, letting her know she was only joking without even having to say a thing.
A’whora’s not sure what time it is when she hears the front door swing shut and Tia emerges from the hallway, her long hair all messed up from the seemingly ever-present wind outside and almost obscuring the bright smile plastered on her face. “Hey, huns!”
“Oi oi,” Tayce greets her from her position on the floor. “What’s got you so smiley?”
“Nooothing,” Tia smirks, dragging the word out playfully. “Just got an invite to the night out of a very cute girl in my MT society…and she said you guys can all come too. Pres at her flat and then out to The Avenue. Evening plans sorted?”
“Oh, love that!” Bimini gives an enthusiastic clap. “Go on then, who’s the girl? Whose night are we crashing?”
“Her name’s Veronica,” Tia smiles bashfully. “She’s so lovely. Honestly, she wouldn’t mind you coming! She’s got one of the big flats over at Gourock Court so it’s not like it’ll be packed.”
“You don’t exactly want to go to a party that’s not going to be packed,” Ellie screws up her nose. She looks unimpressed and her tone is flat. “And even if it is, I don’t know if I’m in the mood for a flat party with a ton of new people, Tia.”
A’whora’s face drops and she locks eyes with Lawrence simultaneously, who’s got an equally incredulous look on her face. “Els, are you unwell? You never turn down a night out.”
Ellie shrugs quietly, not giving much away on her face. Tia, obviously keen to move to the girl she’s crushing on, carries on persuading her. “C’mon, Eleanor, don’t be such a fucking…square! It’s the musical theatre society, we’re just a walking Pride festival who all happen to be able to hold a tune. There’s loads of fit lesbians?”
“Well if I wasn’t convinced before, I sure am now,” Tayce purrs, a little smile appearing on her lips and a cheeky twinkle in her eyes. A’whora feels her laugh come out weakly. She doesn’t know why, but an odd, uncomfortable feeling lodges itself in her gut. She can’t quite put her finger on what exactly it is or why it’s put itself there.
“And there’s gonna be so many musicals on the playlist!” Tia continues to insist, despite being met with Ellie’s sour face. “I know you’ll love it! They’d probably even play stuff from Shrek if you got them drunk enough.”
A’whora can’t help but scrunch up her nose in distaste. “Hey, I’m only coming if they play fucking…normal people music as well. I’m not gonna be sat in a room with twenty white kids trying to rap to Hamilton or whatever the fuck it is.”
Tia rolls her eyes, plants her hands on her hips in exasperation. “Calm down, A’whora, you’ll still get all the top 40 dance-pop shit you love so much.”
“To be honest, it sounds class. And The Avenue’s always good,” Bimini cuts in calmly. A’whora does have to agree with that. They’ve not been there in a while- the bar across the road from the city’s most popular LGBT club- and its selection of early 00s pop princess tracks combined with its deal of two vodka mixers and a shot for a fiver makes it a guaranteed good night out.
“Well it seems like we’re all down, even if this stroppy cow isn’t,” Tia smiles happily, sticking her tongue out at Ellie for good measure. Ellie finally heaves a world-weary sigh, rolling her eyes dramatically as she relents.
“Ugh, fine! Fine, but this Verruca or whatever the hell she’s called better be the hottest bitch on the planet for you to drag us all out with your MT weirdos, Tia Maria,” she grumps. Tia ignores her bad mood and lets out a cheer which the others join in with, and A’whora resolves to interrogate Ellie about her Bitter Betty attitude later on. Preferably when they’re both drunk. That always makes things easier.
In the melee of excitement, Tayce twists round from her position on the carpet, folds her arms and rests them on top of A’whora’s thighs. “Right. You need to come help me choose an outfit if we’re going out. I need to look fit.”
A’whora smiles with pride. “Ooh, personal stylist duties? I’m honoured.”
“Well I’m hardly gonna ask Tia, am I?” Tayce giggles quietly, and A’whora joins in like it’s a little secret they’re sharing. “Or Ellie. She’d just send me out in one of her bodysuit/skirt combos. I swear to God that girl is like Marge bloody Simpson. Open up her wardrobe and she’ll have twenty sets of the same outfit. Serial killer behaviour, that.”
At this point A’whora is laughing so much that it draws the attention of the others, who eye them with suspicious stares. “What the hell’s so funny?”
A’whora gives Tayce a mischievous look. “Tayce just called Ellie a serial killer.”
Tayce yelps in outrage at having been called out, and as Ellie narrows her eyes Tayce leaps up from the floor and tugs A’whora off of the sofa with her. “That’s taking it out of context, you absolute hound! Come on, help me pick something.”
Tayce’s fingers stay curled around A’whora’s hand all the way down the corridor and into her bedroom. It’s a feeling that A’whora likes because it makes her feel close to her friend, and Tayce taking her hand is like an affirmation and a reassurance all in one; that she likes her, that their friendship has reached the level where hand-holding has become acceptable, that A’whora is worthy of being liked, of being someone’s friend- their real, proper friend. The validation sets her heart off like a flare. It’s nice to feel wanted.
A’whora perches on the edge of Tayce’s bed as she scrapes the coat hangers in her wardrobe and throws outfits onto the bed like a tornado, each more gorgeous than the last and all ones Tayce would look stunning in. That’s something that always strikes A’whora about Tayce; just how beautiful she is, how absolutely blessed with the God-given good genes. The way she looks serene and ethereal without makeup, walking to lectures in the morning with the sun hitting her face and giving her skin a glow. The way she paints for a night out and knows how to accentuate everything about her face that’s already perfect, a feat that would seem like an exaggeration if A’whora hadn’t seen it for herself to confirm it’s true. She frequently finds herself having to hold back from giving compliments to Tayce because if she started she’d never stop.
“Okay, first thoughts are…” Tayce announces unnecessarily loudly, and A’whora laughs at the way she’s talking as if she’s a stylist on a morning TV show. “…I’m thinking something black.”
“Of course you are,” A’whora interrupts with a laugh. “Tayce wearing black. How predictable.”
Tayce gives her a shove on the shoulder that’s too hard and makes her fall back against the mattress. “Shut up! I’ll wear something other than black when Lawrence wears something other than purple, how’s about that?”
The pair of them giggle at the joke as Tayce rifles through the clothes she’s shortlisted, holding up a black leather jacket and a black bralet with an intricate lace hem. The combination makes A’whora’s eyes fly wide open in appreciation.
“This?” Tayce raises an eyebrow at her inquisitively. The fact she’s obviously seen her reaction makes A’whora feel a little self-conscious and she doesn’t particularly know why. “Because I’m wanting to wear either my wet-look leggings or my black vinyl skirt with the zip up the front, and I don’t know if that’s too much leather effect stuff?”
“It’s too much,” A’whora nods, physically unable to help her honesty. “Also I think you should wear the skirt because you’ve got good legs and you should get them out any chance you get. But also the bralet won’t go with it because it’ll make your proportions all wrong.”
Tayce smiles appreciatively as she throws the bralet back into her wardrobe as if A’whora’s given her a command and not a suggestion. “See, this is another reason why you’re the queen of outfit advice. Bimini wouldn’t give me this level of honesty, they’re too nice.”
A’whora feels a warmth spread in her chest at the compliment, but she doesn’t show it. Instead she snorts, nods in agreement. “Yeah, because you could come out dressed in a pair of child’s pyjamas and they’d still say they love it. They’d say it’s very Y2K or something.”
Tayce lets out a cackle before holding up the skirt and leather jacket, humming in thought. “Okay, so you’re saying ditch the jacket but keep the skirt.”
“Yes.”
“And ditch the bralet.”
“Yes.”
“So you want me to go out in a skirt and a pair of heels and nothing else,” Tayce raises an eyebrow at her, and as A’whora bursts out laughing and protests she has to fight off a blush at the thought of her best friend topless in heels. Topless in heels and a vinyl skirt. Topless in heels and a vinyl skirt with a zip that could just be pulled down to leave her in-
The heat floods A’whora’s face like she’s been smacked and she shifts on the bed in an attempt at dissipating the feelings that’ve hit her like a tsunami. Inappropriate. Weird. Way too weird. Don’t do that again.
“What about the bright blue fur coat you’ve got? Because you could have an all black outfit with that as a bit of colour,” she suggests, shrugging lightly in an attempt to pretend that she hadn’t just been thinking about Tayce in the way she had.
Tayce’s face lights up and she points at A’whora with one hand and reaches into her wardrobe with the other. “Love that. Okay, top?”
“Are you addressing me? I’ve never topped for anyone,” A’whora attempts a joke. If Tayce can make jokes like that to her then she can do it right back.
“That’s very clear, baby,” Tayce shoots in response without missing a beat. Before A’whora realises it, she’s flexing her toes. What the fuck is happening to her? She needs to steer this conversation back on track.
She thinks for a second. “You’re a size eight, right?”
“In theory. The amount of pot noodles I’ve been chucking down my neck since I moved in is very quickly rendering that a distant memory, I’ll tell ya,” Tayce says, as she leans against the door of her wardrobe and folds her arms.
“I’ve got a black lace bodysuit that would go with that. It’s a ten so it’ll fit. D’you want to try it?”
“Well despite the fact a skirt and a bodysuit was the very thing I just roasted Ellie for always wearing…that sounds lush. Thanks, Rory Roo,” Tayce agrees, the nickname-of-a-nickname setting off the click of a small pilot light in A’whora’s heart. She’s about to ask if she wants to come try it on just now when she hears both their names being yelled from the kitchen.
The pair of them head back through to find that Tia has changed the playlist on the speakers from the chilled-out, calm acoustic one that had been playing to her early 00’s tunes. Combined with Bimini half-singing, half-yelling along to Murder on the Dancefloor and the blast of the extractor fan as Ellie stirs something in a big metal pot at the hob, it’s a far cry from the calm, cosy scene that A’whora had witnessed in the kitchen some hours prior.
Ellie had been the one who had shouted on them, and she whips around from the cooker when she realises that Tayce and A’whora have come through. “I’m making dinner for me, Bims and Tia, you wanting some?”
“Depends what it is. Come on, talk it up, Ellie. Give us some options,” Tayce shrugs with feigned disinterest, and A’whora can’t help the bubble of laughter that bursts from her mouth as Ellie narrows her eyes at her.
“It’s spaghetti and meatballs, and your alternatives are fuck off or die,” she shoots back savagely, and the whoop of shock and laughter that goes up from the others soars above the music and the fan. Tayce laughs good-naturedly in spite of the barb.
“I’m joking, ‘course I’ll take some.”
A’whora wrinkles her nose. “You’re making meatballs for a meal that Bimini is gonna eat?”
“They’re not real ones, dipshit,” Bimini pipes up from over on the sofa. “It’s that Birdseye Green Cuisine shit, innit.”
“Birdseye Green Cuisine shit,” A’whora repeats disdainfully. “If you ever go on The Apprentice, Bim, Alan Sugar’s gonna shit himself at your selling abilities.”
Tayce snorts, tries and fails to cover it up. When her eyes rest on A’whora they share a little smile, and A’whora’s grows bigger when she thinks about the way they’re both so in sync all the time.
“They’re nice, I promise! Veronica’s talked them up loads, she told me she’s been trying to eat more veggie things,” Tia insists, with an entirely unnecessary namedrop of her crush. A’whora relents and says she’ll have a small bowl before jumping out of her skin as Ellie bangs the spoon against the pot somewhat aggressively with a face like thunder.
Before A’whora can ask Ellie about her bad mood, Tia speaks again as she scrolls her phone to change the song. “Honestly, Ellie, you’re a star for doing dinner. Thanks so much.”
“Aw, don’t be silly, doll! It’s nothing!” Ellie turns around from the hob and bats the compliment away, shooting Tia a dazzling smile in return. It’s funny the way her demeanour seems to instantly do a complete 180 at the praise, and it makes A’whora wonder what’s changed.
She’s distracted, though, by the way Lawrence enters in her dressing gown with her hair up in a towel, obviously having come straight from the shower. She pouts and whines in a very un-Lawrence way as she lingers at the doorframe between the hall and the kitchen.
“Guysss, does anyone have an ID they can give me for tonight?”
“What about your friend? Who was it…Rosé?” A’whora shrugs, and Lawrence fixes her with a wide-eyed stare of incredulity.
“Oh my God, A’whora! I never thought about asking the girl I’ve been borrowing ID from since the start of uni! Thanks for that!” she says sarcastically, Bimini giving a yelp of laughter and A’whora leaning off the countertops and swiping at Lawrence in retort. “She’s using it. She asked her girlfriend and her flatmates for me but they’ve all got plans. I felt like a fuckin’ daytime TV charity advert.”
“For just one pound a week, you could help an underaged child get blackout drunk on triple trebles,” A’whora puts on a dramatic, concerned voice, proud of the way it makes Tayce blurt out a laugh.
“It’s such fucking bullshit,” Lawrence huffs, leaning against the fridge and folding her arms. “I mean my eighteenth’s in five days and I’ve been drinking in parks since I was fourteen, how can I not just be let into a fuckin’ bar?”
“Grow up and order a fake one,” Ellie shakes her head with incredulity, smashing the wooden spoon against the pot again with a bang-bang-bang to get the excess pasta sauce off.
“Just you pipe down, hen, you shouldn’t even be at uni. In fact, have you even completed primary yet?”
The two girls stick their tongues out at each other, a mirror-image of petty bickering that makes A’whora laugh. Luckily Bimini steps in, shrugging as they open their purse.
“Here, babe. I’ve still got my course friend’s provisional from when she dropped it on Gordon Street when she was off her face. I ain’t given her it back yet an’ I’m sure she wouldn’t care if you borrowed it. She’s chill.”
Lawrence accepts enthusiastically, bouncing over to Bimini and thanking them gratefully. A’whora watches her face drop, though, when she takes a look at the photo.
“There’s no way this’ll work.”
Bimini tuts and shakes their head, the picture of casual composure. “It’s fine, babes, they never look properly anyway.”
Lawrence drops the hand that’s holding the license to her side and fixes her friend with an astounded glare. “Bimini. This girl is black.”
As the others screech with outrage and mirth, Bimini waves Lawrence’s concerns away blithely. “It’ll be dark! It’s fine! Asttina an’ you have both got similar…well…you’re both girls, an’ you’re about the same height. Give or take a few inches.”
“Christ. I’m going to have to just forward roll past the bouncers, aren’t I? Then draw a fuckin’ club stamp on my arm in Sharpie.”
“Oh my God, stop moaning!” Ellie sighs from her position at the hob, bangs the spoon again for emphasis. “Look, I’ll ask Pippa from flat 2, alright? You both have brown hair, so…that’ll probably be enough.”
A’whora thinks it’s interesting the way Lawrence doesn’t shoot something back in her foghorn of a voice like she normally does. Instead she smiles warmly, dashes over to the kitchen where she hugs Ellie from behind, squeezing her tightly at the stomach and making her flinch in surprise.
“Thanks, Ellie-Bellie,” she sing-songs, swaying her aggressively from side to side until Ellie bats her away, flicking the spoon in a way that threatens to shower them both in marinara sauce.
“Right, that’s plenty. Don’t even do things I enjoy for that long.”
“When’s this gonna be ready, Els?” Bimini shouts through as Lawrence lets go. “ ‘Ave I got time to do my makeup before it?”
Ellie shrugs. “If you can do your makeup in ten minutes.”
A’whora kicks her leg out in Tayce’s direction and jerks her head towards the hall. “Do you want to try on that bodysuit before tea?”
Tayce nods enthusiastically in agreement, so they go back along the corridor with a shout to the others telling them they won’t be long. A’whora holds the door of her room open for Tayce and her heart sinks in embarrassment when she realises she forgot to make her bed this morning.
“Sorry about the mess,” she apologies, to which Tayce gives a cry of a laugh in response.
“A’whora, have you seen my room? You’re fine, kid, don’t worry.”
A’whora thinks that’s true- Tayce’s room is a state, but somehow it seems to suit her. Tayce’s room with the crowded bulletin board, desk covered in sweet wrappers and sketches, floor carpeted with clothes that need washed and outfits that didn’t make the cut. The cracked picture frame on her window-sill of the first selfie the six of them all got together on the first night of freshers and the huge cheese plant that sits next to her bedside table, Tayce’s pride and joy. They’re all little intricate shards that join up to form a perfect picture of her personality, and A’whora thinks it’s sort of perfect.
She looks out the bodysuit from its neatly Marie Kondo-d place in her wardrobe and hands it gently to Tayce. “Try it and see. It’s a small 10 anyway so it’ll probably be fine for you.”
Tayce accepts it gratefully and hooks a finger around both of the straps, letting the rest of the material fall out of its perfectly folded little parcel. She gives a little gasp of appreciation as she looks at it. “Oh yes, baby. I think this’ll do just fine.”
A’whora feels good- proud that she’s managed to find the perfect piece for Tayce’s outfit, to help her look as inevitably gorgeous as she knows she will. The smile on her face falters, though, when Tayce shoots her a wink and leans against the wall with her shoulder. “This is gonna get me someone I can pop off my acrylics for, I can tell. You’ve got the best taste, girl.”
“Are you actually going to try and get with someone tonight?” A’whora injects a laugh into her question that she’s banking on sounding genuine, otherwise it comes across as accusatory and that’s not what she means it to be. Or is it? She doesn’t know. “You know how messy nights at The Avenue always get. Last time we were there Lawrence got so drunk she told us she couldn’t see, remember?”
Tayce laughs her off with a shrug. “Well then I’ll just have to be careful with my drinks, won’t I?”
A’whora gives a false laugh, tries so hard to get it to meet her eyes. Why is she so pressed about this? She gets with girls on nights out too, she’s brought the occasional one night stand to the flat. Tayce is allowed to do the same.
So why does she feel ever so slightly gutted?
If her smile looks fake (which it is) then Tayce doesn’t notice, and she only shoots her a smile as she opens the bedroom door. “You’re an angel. I’ll pop this on then be back in five.”
A’whora takes the opportunity of Tayce having left to make her bed, and as she does so she feels lots of little thoughts dart around her mind like minnows, none of them staying in the same place for long enough to be able to be deciphered. She manages to catch a few before they flee away and she clings to them, turning them over in her head: why does she feel so bothered about the prospect of Tayce finding a girl at the party, talking to her and making a connection and laughing at her jokes? Why had it felt like a punch to the gut when Tayce was joking about doing so? Why does she have this part of her that feels like an idiot for setting Tayce up to look her best and knowing that it’s for the benefit of somebody else, somebody that doesn’t know her like she does?
And then her bedroom door opens and A’whora turns around and lays eyes on her best friend. Tayce in her high heels and bare legs and the skirt with the zip. Tayce with her baby blue fake fur coat and her straight, dark hair tumbling over its shoulders. Tayce in the bodysuit- A’whora’s bodysuit- with the lace and the mesh that clings to her chest like it was designed just for her. There’s something about the fact that she’s wearing something that belongs to A’whora that makes something inside her chest tingle, the fact it’s a little piece of her in Tayce’s jigsaw puzzle that seems to fit regardless of the difference.
“What d’you think?” Tayce smiles, all too aware of how drop-dead stunning she looks.
And then the realisation hits A’whora like a train.
Oh.
Fuck.
She’s screwed.

-jericho called her ridiculous but at least he did listen to her lol
-not an episode for the frail of jump-scares
thirteen has chemistry with all the women
-the tiny ping pong padel dslkfj
-21st novemeber.
-im noticing now that thirteen is always a lot less mean to temporal companions than her fixed ones. like -all the way to the tesla and ada episodes... i know we used to think it was mostly about her just bonding -with weird characters like her, but now i think it is not only that but also like... maybe something to do -with her only wanting to connect with this kind of, "one night stands", so to speak? and kind of -purposely sabotaging her relationship with the fam to avoid being hurt again (well ok that much is a known fact already dlkf).
-who is clare though? where's my character building sdlkjf
-oh clare dont worry abotu the dust tha happens to me all the time when i wake up from a long nap.

-dan looking at chickens and being like "no dinosaurs" i see what u did there nerds lol
-i suspected it as soon as we saw the old woman with the tombstones that she was peggy but now i -strongly suspect it
-lol they did well casting this girl.
fuck that's a great visual!!!! this is definetly a serial man.
-"47 years of pain, Gerald"
-it would have been cool if they did the angel more sketchy- the fire effect was f
-ok but ldskfjsd ... the more they stretch this dumb ass "the image of an angel becomes an angel" rule the more ridiculous their lore becomes. even if it makes for fire effects is like... ok so like, what constitudes an "image" of an angel? if you take photographs and reproduce them, are they all angels? why havent -they taken over the earth then ksdljf seems very easy to do in the age of social media and viral images. and what if you just "think" about them like clare did??? why isnt the doctor making up angels all the time with how many encounters she's had with them?????
-(i may or may not be biased against this... one of my least favorite monsters in the canon.... dlksjf)
-why is jericho getting so much development and we still don't know the first thing about clare... i dont like it...
-YESSSS OH MY GOD SHE'S GONNA DO THE CONTACT THING!!!! OH MY GODDDD
that said i think this is the first time in the doctor's life they've ever asked permission to do it lmao. progress or just a random flux (ey) of common courstesy?
-CONTACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-damn that's beautiful
-... i really love thirteen. i love jodie. she's made some amazing scenes. pls dont let this next comment dispute that love .. .. damn this "social distancing / greenscreen" acting does no do her favours sometimes dslkjfdkl
-the mystery building in this episode has been really weak tbh.
-OHHH SHITTT THATS HER
-"oh, praise the stars! ... the non-existent stars..."
-ohhhh no....
-the passanger "soul-feeing" mechanic reminds me of an anime i saw once but i cant pin point which one -sdlkfj
-i love she
-belle picking up her own companion lol
-ENOUGH QUESTIONS, DAN
-rip gerald and jan... they had it coming though lol
-"i have a friend, and she'll sort this. she always does" oh no, yaz... honey...
-this episode is really draining me lksdjf
-the most appealing thing about jericho is his name
-themes IRL meta #40: there is something interesting here about he tv and like, attenion econmies, alienation and how it affects the phyche... and also "you are observed and that is my power over you" as the strenght of science... also isnt there something in quantum physics about "observation" literally affecting the thing it obeserves?
so not only can they become images but they can create the images as well... ok. ok
-did we really need 40 minutes of fluff just to get to the good part (The division questioning) dsklfj
division uses "every moment".... hmm...
-the way it switches to "division" and "the division" seems like a clue as well. like it's both organization and more like a natural phenomon.
-this episode is really showing how under-baked the WA lore is to begin with. like the doctor is being so prejudiced against this rogue angel, but from what we supposedly know... they don't really act out of malice? they're more like animals in the time-savanah that unfortunately have a very painful way of feeding. but they don't have schemes of world domination or genocide or mass-lobotomization so it seems a bit weird that the doctor, on paper, would show no compassion for such creatures. but she has to act like that / be written like that because they're "supposed" to be "the monsters of doctor who(tm)" :/ ... it's all so against science-fiction principles for developing alien cultures / species...
-also honestly this set up so silly. like sdlkfj. this weeping angel division-pedia kidnaps clare to blackmail -the doctor so she will help her stop the angels but like... it's the godamn doctor. she was gonna do that anyway dslkjf. the blackmailing was just unecessary.
-"including the ones taken from you" another dark!variation of thirteenth's theme! #segunmoments
-"sorry, threw a cup at you"
-oh! i noticed those floor plans! good chekov's gun.
-reverse the polarity of the neutron flow~*~*~
-"i think there are angels in the walls here" "of course there are, why wouldnt there be"--- this feels like -the entire process for writting this episode (or any WA episode)
-i kneeew itttt
-that was maybe too obvious lol
-ok so they can also transport by stone. sure. why not. let's just keep making hem more broken lol
-im so tired of them trying to making us like this guy. is so transparent.
-oh so thatt's why the plan was dumb lol. it was trapppp
-this confrontation scene is a high time for Teh Scronché (tm)
"You are recalled" HOLY SHIT FINALLY!! STUFF HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-AHHH
-predictable yaz reaction is predictable sldkfjlskdf
-damn, cool transformation sequence.
-omg CREDIT INTERRUPTIONS WHAT.
-ok im just gonna say it.... space venetian's guy's acting... .. . not the strongest sdfjlkf
-PARALLEL TO YAZ AND THIRTEEN GETTING SEPARATED TO THESE TWO BEING SEPARATED
-those two are such nerds
well... it was overall a well-realized, visually stunning episode... but i was kinda bored the whole time :/ ... i think the reasons were that: a) the world of the town and clare didnt feel as "live in" or imainative as other ones we've seen in flux. and b) the lack of doctor o/ companion interactions set it down my stimations too. and c) it didnt really feel like a flux story? besides the little vignette with in space venice, it could have been inserted any other season. all that said, the last 3 minutes almosssst made up for all of that sdkljf
_______________________________________________________________

-damn, you can feel how the doctor still edges and puffs when they talk about the "time lord directive"... interesting...
-I guess one can't unlearn cultural ingraining in 4billion years it seems...
-"not every civilization works or is enlightenement" shut up you fucking colonizer.
-omg his dark materials viiiiiiibes
-DOG NINJA TIME
-dog ninja and bel not getting alone lol we love to see it (I like that flux has this constant ensamble... sometimes they're more refreshing than our fam sdlsk)
-how are so many people surviving in a world with nothing
-"YOU ARE SPACE. AND WE ARE TIME."
-I was at first kinda underwhelmed by their plan to use people as a power source bc from all aspects, electrically, chemically, etc. people must be a really shitty power source compared to so many other things. Howeverrr.... maybe this functions like Clara's leaf? you know, using the "potentiality" of teir futures that are taken from them? it's a bit of a watsonian explenation that probably isn't true (compared to the doylist one that was "the writers just wanted something that sounded evil" lol) but y'know, i think it could be cool to interpret it like that, mixing that bit of lore with this...
-oh shi they were part of the flox all this time!!
- OH THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED THE DIVISION!!! (I thought it could have been something to do withthe space between atoms but this is super cool too)
-THE DOCTOR GETTING DISTRACTED BY THE COOL SCIENCE ADKLJFDS
-FUCKING TYPICAL.... i love them T_T
-I was wondering about this!!! ever since the first episode it was so suspect that they never mentioned the multiverse when they talked about "the end of the universe". Aghh, I love this serial guys. It's been so clever in hinting things by suspectfully ignoring them.
-oh no, the V-word......
-"what sort of virus?" "You" LMAO SHE LOOKS SO OFFENDED I DIED
-"You got out from division, and you couldn't leave the universe alone. You know, I blame myself a little but, mostly, I blame you. I thought you were managable. But I had to admit I what I always knew deep down. You'd never stop if you rediscovered what Division had done. I mean, morality... was always your flaw" "Morality is a strenght" fuck im so into this. peak who. quintessential who. essecential who. concentrated who JUICE. inject IT into my VEINS.
-oh I guess flux wasn't a doctor fuck up after all lol god bless.
-these guys are such good villains honestly...well, time lords as villains are the BEST, really.
-'cause like you can see the logic/nuance on why they did this, their need for control and to ultimately preserve the unvierse (deep down the same drive the doctor and company follow), but it is their methods and lack of willingness to like... not try to mastermind the entirety of existence that is their downfall. there's a really cool social commentary/philosophical viewpoint in that.
-I like how she even says "the TARDIS" kind of disparingly lol almost making fun of the made-up acronym ldsjf
-can't introduce the first female doctor without introducing her abusive mother.
-cartmell would be proud
-speaking back to the thing about "weirdly ignoring things in the script" but actually that turning out to be foreshawding... I think that's why this UNIT origin stuff is so damn satisfying sdlkfj 'cause not only is it cool in itself, but it was *also* super suspect that after all the mythological work that's been done in the entire expanded universe of doctor who to show earthlings fighting back against threats and even seeing them before the doctor does (both UNIT and Torchwood constantly, plus sometimes old companions doing it) it was so suspect that this aspect wouldn't come up again in the apocalypse.
- LETHBRIDGE STEWART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-"HE'S A SHOUTER, BUT HE'S VERY GOOD"
-TARDIS!!!!!!!!!!!! (are they referencing a particular story?)
-"it does look... special" the shade lmao
-"my god, general, you really are a fool" i like this guy now dkslfj so much shade in every sentence.
-RIP. UNIT boss #1
-(their first boss dying foolishly~ like that tho... not be mean but... #onbrand)
-oh, that's why it's called the grand serpent.
-(Boreal in HDM vibes? lol)
-the division probably uses and discards oods like this all the time...
-i mean im loving this but... it does seem like a fairly complicated plan just to get the doctor in one place sdkljfdklsjf if the division is All That maybe they could have, idk lured her into a big cardboard box with some jammie dodgers on a string...?
-(but maybe the point is that thid is all kind of irrational?)

-"what do you even do, doctor? when are you even getting married?"
-i mean tecteum is wrong in her reading of the doctor's companions as their "experiments" that they "uses" for company,... but i imagine it manages to tug a little at the doctor's conscience bc of how shit she's been to her friends lately sdfjfds so i'm sure even tho she says "we're not the same"
(that's what u call.. ,. .. a pro abuser mood 💥🔥😎)
-aside: the doctor is now even more of a ... like, quintessential "classic english literature" right? with this background of the poor street urchin that gets picked up and used by the shitty lower-tier family of nobles... it's all very Dickensonian lol

That being said, a lot of people seemed really distant to HC// Just thinking out loud, does it maybe have something to do with NV? Could he have brought her onto the set during the last part of filming? Or have they heard about the “blackface” photo? Or maybe he’s just socially awkward and didn’t build strong bonds with the cast? Or maybe I’m totally crazy and you will share a logical reason for the uncomfortable feelings! 🤣🤣🤣🤪
This is about the Witcher Premiere.
I don’t think it would have been just from a choice of girlfriend unless she was Brought on set and was an absolute c**t to the point of them hating HC through her. Which would take ALOT and if she were remotely smart as a girl in Hollywood would have to be she wouldn’t do that?
It was probably his own demeanour before hand. Maybe contract related? From what I’ve seen of the BTS no one seemed to be having a bad time so it may have happened afterward. I don’t doubt there would have been talks about the future of the Witcher etc, it could have been recent and he had an outburst that everyone witnessed or something. Idk the vibes that entire night was off and I’m not sure of the reason but it did only seem to be with HC 🤔 cause when they were with Paul and shit the photos they had were fun.
Maybe HC’s family did something 👀 maybe HC said like, “don’t come near my fam they don’t want covid” or some shit and they were all like woah ok bro I won’t go near you.
I don’t know 🤷🏼♂️ but was absolutely off.

hello famed fam! so this took awhile, mostly because I wanted to make sure that I had Laurent’s profile and background page set up :] it’s been a while since I’ve rp, so I’m a little rusty please bare with me. Although I’m super excited to Laurent going~ his personality is not too far odd from bts jungkook- except perhaps a little extreme (in a broody sort of way) with suga’s underground tales. A few plot ideas and miscellaneous starters for connection purpuses :>
profile | background
SCENE
[male] Both being utterly intoxicated and is waiting in line for the bathroom stalls, someone cuts in front of you; although you two don’t know each other, all you needed to do was nod at Laurent. Next thing you know, you’re both get into a brawl with the guy and his friends, a second later you’re both thrown out of the club. optional: you can be the guy who cuts the line
[female] You were getting bothered by someone on the dancefloor, quickly grabbing a hold of Laurent, who happens to be dancing next to you, you mouth ‘help me’ and proceeded to act like you and him are together. Which of course, he’s more than happy to play along with.
[any] You had a little too much to drink, and drawn to Laurent for some reason, unable to help yourself, you literally puke on him.
[any] You’re all in a club and suppose to be dancing, drinking and having fun, but you look like you’re about to cry. Having a soft spot for you, Laurent pulls you aside and lends you a sympathetic ear.
BACKSTAGE
[any] Wardrobe malfunctions are nothing new for idols, in fact, it happens far too often that it’s almost expected. So when its finally your turn, Laurent just happens to be around to save the day.
[any] It wasn’t meant to be funny and later on they are reprimanded for it. But remember that time when Laurent and you were talking smack on live area and it got picked up on screen time. It becomes somewhat of a joke and everyone laughs, but we all know you got in trouble afterwards.
[female] Everyone in the entertainment business gets shipped with one another. Whether it was because you were in a series, variety or film together, perhaps were dance partners for one of the idol collab stages, fans seems to ship you both the most.
[male] Rumour has it both of you have it out for each other. Everyone from the fans to people in the industry think that both of you hate each other or simply do not get along. But in reality, you both are actually quite close friends and often bounce off each other’s differences.
MISC.
“I wouldn’t have offered you a blunt if I’d known you were a manager.”
“This is a library for fuck sake, shut u– Holy shit is that a spider!”
“This isn’t some weird pick up line but it’s raining like hell, do you need a ride?”
“We could do that… or we could fuck.”
“Hey! Tall guy! Hoist me up your shoulder, I can’t see the fucking band!”
“I’m going to need you to put something on before you say anything else.”
“'Am about 75% sure this wont explode.”
“The skirt is short on purpose.”
“Why exactly do you need chloroform at 2am?”
“I’m not taking no for an answer, so strip.”
“You’re hopeless. Get up.”
“I swear, I didn’t do i– Wait, no. Yeah, I did that.”
