Of course, having cake for lunch means that it's probably a good idea to get some exercise afterward, so Alice took over dog-tending duties by taking Shadow out for a nice long jog around the neighborhood! They had a lovely time going over hill and dale and past the community garden (where I took the opportunity to evolve a few plants). Victor, for his part, finished up the harvest, Repairioed everything that was busted around the house, and had himself some fruit pie for lunch before calling up his new best buddy Felipe for a chat (reception was horrible as per the moodlet Victor got afterward, but it was actually a positive "glad to unhook from the modern world" moodlet, so -- yay?); Smiler, for THEIR part, headed upstairs to retrieve all their honeymoon videos out of their drone and start editing them and investigating the trends. Victor moved onto making more candles (his first cylindrical molded candle, in fact) as Alice came back home and, pooped, plopped right down for a nap on the floor --
But what ho, who is this at the door? Why, it's Knox Greenburg, Eco Master! With a request to use the recycler and a promise to share the bits and pieces. Alice got up at his knock and let him know that he was indeed free to use the recycler outside, then went upstairs to have a shower before settling into bed for a PROPER nap -- soon joined by Victor, who was pretty tuckered out after all his early-morning crafting and gardening! Smiler, though, being immune to getting tired, was free to fly downstairs and have an enthusiastic chat with Knox about the important of living green before asking for a drink. Which Knox was happy to give, because Smiler is his friend and just generally awesome. There are many perks to being a vampire with a Pristine Reputation, 10 Charisma, and the "Regained Humanity" bonus trait! :p
After that, it was back to chores -- Victor woke up and checked in on Moory, finding she needed a good brushing and another milking. Unfortunately, he woke up a little too late to do anything about the chickens -- yup, we had another fox steal an egg out of the coop! *grumbles* I suppose I should just be grateful none of them have straight-up killed a chicken yet... Smiler, for their part, took a moment to check Knox's traits before sending him on his way, then fed the cowplant and recycled all the trash in their inventory. Guess that chat with Knox was pretty inspiring! All in all, reasonably typical day around the farm...

Magpie Stash
Pairing: Astarion/Tav
Tags: fluff, trauma
Length: 1k words
Summary: While looting, Astarion comes across items he wants to own
A/N: Another headcanon which I may have shared with some of the talented fan fiction writers out there before. So, if that’s the case, don’t come for me! But holy Hells this got much longer than I planed! I guess this is s drabble now? Or a whole ass fanfic? You tell me 😂
Thank you wonderful @nyx-knox for the beta reading! It was *chef‘s kiss* ✨
::::::::
Astarion has not owned anything in 200 years.
The only things he could call his were his wits and the clothes on his back - and both he cared for and mended meticulously.
But suddenly he’s part of a ragtag group of strangers, and he finds himself looting a temple not far from where they crashed with a damn Nautiloid after being abducted and infected by mindflayer parasites. And frankly, he’s not entirely sure what part he finds most surprising.
Finding food, weapons and healing potions is a priority. For the others. Not so much him. Honestly. Why should he bother looking for food he won’t even eat? He doesn’t know these weirdos.
But he humors them and even aids his positively helpless companions by picking locks. And as he opens the lid of a gilded chest, something catches his eye.
Beneath old parchment and a rotten carrot he finds …. pretty things? There’s a particularly sparkly ring. A skilfully bound book with gilded letters on the cover. A fine silk scarf hemmed with the most delicate fell-stitches …
He has no idea if those items are of any value. They certainly are useless for the group. But … they are beautiful. And he wants, no he needs to own them. So without giving it too much thought, he takes them.
He has no intention of selling *HIS* items to the vendor they meet at the Tiefling Camp. Hells, he doesn’t even have the intention of showing them to his companions.
He wants these pretty things for himself, he wants to keep them safe. The spawn siblings used to steal from one another all the time, so he’s used to being protective over his meagre possessions. Can’t shake 200 years of hypervigilance that easily.
::::::::
Over the next days and weeks of travel, Astarion fills up a little purple leather pouch with whatever catches his eye. Going through the diverse collection of beautiful bits and bobs for a few moments before meditating becomes a secret source of calm for Astarion. A soothing ritual, especially after the more straining days.
Which is what he’s doing now. He sits on his bedroll cross-legged, inspecting the things. His things. His little private treasure trove. That he owns.
A bejeweled comb, random gold coins, a tiny picture frame containing an even tinier painting …
The only piece of his treasure that gave him more of a bittersweet feeling had been a silver hand-mirror he had found in the goblin infested village. To be honest, he was not too mad when he accidentally smashed it in frustration the other night after talking to Tav.
Tav. Their unofficial leader. They never seem to have a problem sharing the things they find. They share their food with the group, their scrolls, and they even gave Astarion that freakish but intriguing tome they had found in that cellar. Far too generous, if you ask him.
As Astarion packs up his collection he hears coughing outside. Again. It’s been going on all night.
He peeks out. Tav is on second watch. The night is cold, and they just added another log to the fire. Still, the cool wind is picking up and Tav pulls their cloak close around their neck - which unfortunately does not prevent the coughing.
For a moment, Astarion considers just ignoring them, letting them hack up a lung. But to his dismay, he … cares? He finds he doesn’t want Tav to be cold or sick. But it’s just because he just doesn’t want their coughing to get annoying. That’s all. Obviously.
So he leaves his tent and saunters up to their leader, who greets him with a sleepy but friendly smile.
Astarion holds out his hand to Tav, holding a long piece of white fabric. He’s offering them his beautiful silk scarf with the immaculate fell-stitched hem that he had inspected a lot over the past weeks.
„You’re coughing too much, darling. It���s keeping me up and I do need my beauty sleep.” he says with mock indignation and his trademark smirk.
„Thank you.“ Tav says as they take the scarf from his hand and wraps it around that oh so delicious neck of theirs.
After an awkward moment of silence Astarion offers a final „Well. Good night, my dear.“ with a courteous bow and walks back to his tent.
He can’t help but wonder at the strange feeling in his chest. Tav can and will never know just what big of a deal this small gesture was for the pale Elf.
For the first time in 200 years Astarion gave away something that was his simply because he wanted to. He wanted them to have it. Because they needed it more than him. And not only that. He does not even expect anything in return. How in the Hells did that happen?
He’s sure it’s nothing.
:::::::
A few years from then, Astarion finds himself in the cellar beneath Tav’s and his home. He’s looking for something, and he’s sure it has to be here somewhere.
“Aha!” From the trunk before him he pulls a skilfully bound book - even though the gilded letters on the cover have worn off with time.
He opens the book - and huffs in relief. And nervousness. It’s still right where he left it between the pages all those years ago.
Hidden inside the old book lies a particularly sparkly ring.
He smiles. A lot has changed since that day they looted that temple and he found his first little treasures. Back then Astarion couldn’t fathom sharing his magpie stash - or anything, for that matter - with anyone. And now? Now he shares a home with the person he loves. And he plans on sharing so much more with them.
What better way of showing that than by proposing with the first thing he ever called his? Because now there’s only one thing, or rather person, he wants for himself. The one person he wants to share everything with.
He looks at the particularly sparkly ring.
Yes. This should do nicely.
So, and on a completely unrelated note: When does a headcanon become a full on fanfic lol?

Here for You
Azriel x Reader (Zuzu Centered)
Summary: Anon Request: could we get something zuzu centered? we don’t get enough of the girls, and it would be so sweet to see az being a girl dad and y/n being a girl mom for a bit 🥹 maybe them being super excited to finally have a baby girl, when she’s really young or something? whatever you thinks best!
Warnings: None
Word Count: 1,076
_________________________________________
“C’mon Zuz! Keep going, you’re almost there,” Azriel shouts from your side.
You can’t contain the smile on your face, beaming as your daughter races across the open field on her little legs, kicking the ball with a determined look on her face. Her sleek black hair is twisted into tight plaits courtesy of her father, who had – like all things – studied the intricacies of braiding until he was near perfect. There had been many late nights you and your husband had spent together, letting him practice different hairstyles on you while you read, tucked up as far into his warmth as you could, giving him gentle reminders and praises on his final looks.
Zuzu also has dark streaks of paint on her cheeks, a gift from Uncle Cassian, who’d also given her a pep talk before her Moonball game had started. Between him, Azriel, and Rhys, you didn’t know who was cheering the loudest for your little girl, and your heart is bursting with joy at the pride your family is showing in the matching ‘Zuzu Rules’ shirts Rhysand had made for their final game.
Malos pouts where she’s been jostled in Azriel’s arms, on the verge of falling asleep when he’d excitedly begun cheering as Zuzu was passed the ball. Nesta notices at the same time, and is quick to take the babe and soothe her, waving a dismissive hand to Azriel who gives her an apologetic look for a brief moment before returning his gaze to the Moonball game before him. 
He’s nearly vibrating with excitement, and you’ve had to pull Baz out of the way as his wings flared when one of the children on the other team had stolen the ball from Zuzu. 
She’s certainly come a long way since her first game, where the same thing had happened and she’d tried to pummel the child into the ground for doing so. You had glared at your husband and his brothers who had all ducked their heads to hide the grins they were biting back. That was their girl.
Even your older sons had stopped their game of playing warrior to come cheer on their sister, their cousins pushing between all of the tall adult legs for a better view.
One of the children in a navy jersey chasing Zuzu towards the goal suddenly trips and falls into the grass with a surprised gasp but Zuzu doesn’t take notice. Unfortunately, you do, shooting Baz a warning look that says he’s going to get in trouble when he gets home. He’s only eight but he’s already learned a multitude of tricks with his shadows, and to an untrained eye they would’ve thought the child had merely tripped. You knew better than that, and by the way Baz switches sides with Wren so he’s standing further away from you with red cheeks and hunched shoulders, he did too.
Even Knox is intently watching his sister race across the grass. The midnight purple of her jersey brings out the ribbons in her hair, provided by her Auntie Elain and Uncle Lucien, who hadn’t been able to make it, as they were visiting Day for a surprise getaway. 
“Come on baby, come on baby,” you mutter under your breath as she goes. Two children from the opposing team are blocking the way and if she uses her wings again she won’t be able to join the team next season, so you pray to the Mother she doesn’t flare those little wings wide and sweep these kids off of their feet.
“Yes, Z!” Wren jumps, shouting at his sister as she side-steps the offending players. He’d taught her that move when Uncle Cassian hadn’t been playing very fair in the backyard. Everything she’s learned about Moonball had been from her brothers and the rest of her family. She’s a warrior through and through, tough as nails and never backs down even when she was learning with all of the roughness her brothers and male cousins showed. Asteria hadn’t shown interest in the sport, instead she liked playing with her dolls and putting them in poses to draw in her coloring book.
“You got this, Zuz,” Baz encourages, while Jax claps his tiny hands and chants her name over and over again.
Your entire family holds their breath as she sets herself up to kick the ball into the goal. The child in the goal has a ready stance that’s startling for that of someone so young. He looks nearly professional, arms spread wide, knees bent, with a determined look in his eye. He and Zuzu had faced off before, and even her brothers had complimented how good he was at the sport.
Zuzu had scored against him this season once. The other time she had the chance, the little boy had blocked her ball from hitting the goal and you almost hadn’t stopped the rest of your sons from running out onto the field to defend their sister from the goalie who had gloated more than Cassian when he’d won the annual snowball fight, a smug smile on his face.
She’d been more determined than ever, immediately asking her brothers to go out into the yard with the instruction not to go easy on her.
Zuzu cocks her leg back. There’s steely determination in her fierce eyes. Her mouth is set in a firm line as she stares down the child like he’s her worst enemy.
And maybe he is.
The entire field is silent as her leg swings forward. The ball goes soaring through the air, looking like a shooting star, and everyone waits.
The child in the goal pushes off of the ground, throwing his body sideways into the path of the ball.
But he’s too late.
Your family erupts in mass of cheers and excitement, storming the field to gather the star player in congratulations and celebratory hugs. 
She’s beaming, grinning like the day you and Azriel had told her that she was going to have a little sister.
Azriel hikes her up on his shoulders, spinning her around as the other parents gather their children and usher them away, but you don’t care, so utterly proud of Zuzu for scoring the winning goal of the game.
Her braids flop against her shoulders as she twirls, giggling like a mad woman and hands raised in the air in victory. 
“I did it! I did it,” she screams.
And you couldn’t be more proud.

AFTG Instagram HCS
Andrew
Andrew has social media, but it's a faceless 'user929485829394' kind of account (or aminyard maybe... but nobody thinks it's him) that has no followers because he just goes on there to keep up to date w stuff.
All the foxes find it eventually because someone (Nicky...) saw it open on his phone & the fans are so confused why the foxes all follow this random anon account
(Andrew deletes his account the second people start to realise who the account belongs to and makes a new one that only Neil knows about)
(Nobody questions why Neil follows a random anon account that is private because it's so... Neil of him. So nobody realises that it's Andrew this time around.)
With his only audience as Neil, Andrew posts a little. Not a lot. But it's nice, Neil thinks, when he opens Instagram to see that default icon with the ring around it.
Neil
Neil doesn't really post much but when he does it's of other ppl (primarily Allison and Matt but sometimes there is a 'soft launch' of Andrew which the goalie says he hates but never tells him to delete), his account is mainly centred around exy -- all his stories are exy related etc.
Sometimes he tags Kevin in random shit that makes no sense to anyone but them. One time he reposted this random french tumblr post about mafia relations and tagged Kevin and Kevin was hysterical because what the fuck are you doing neil are you trying to get us killed.
Funnily, his pfp is a photo of Kevin smashed drunk because he found it really funny and Kevin ends up blocking Neil on social media when he refused to change it (and because of the shit he gets tagged in).
Kevin
Kevin keeps his Instagram very professional. He posts his magazine photoshoots & has stupid shit like clips of him on Kathy's show saying. "Thank you for having me @kathy, it was a pleasure." and the fans EAT IT UP.
The foxes don't let him live it down and every time he posts anything the foxes all repost it w stupid music or something like that, or just with "HAHAHAHAHAHAH".
But that's not just it, sometimes Kevin posts photos from practice; sneak shots that nobody realises he's taken. It seems sweet; it would be sweet if he wasn't such a raging asshole when they practice. He also posts their match scores on his story.
What shocks the foxes the most out of everything is how open he is about his obsession with USC Trojans. Sometimes they wonder whether they accidentally followed a Trojan fan account but no, it's just Kevin Day shitposting about Jeremy Knox.
Nicky
Nicky predominantly posts loads of selfies and shit, lots of candid photos of the others!!!! He does 'camera dumps' and 'monthly dumps' of photos. He posts everything that he can and his story is like a vlog.
He's also very outspoken with his opinion of social media and goes live all the damn time. It drives the monsters insane when they hear "hey guys!" from their living room.
He actually gains quite a bit of attention as the only fox who isn't completely shutdown secrative about his life and so his reason for posting is fed constantly.
He likes to do those "ask me question" stories and it's really entertaining to see him suddenly rush up to one of the foxes and ask questions that the fans want to know. If you're a new fan, your go to Instagram is 100% Nickys. His highlights are full of info on everything and everyone.
It surprises the foxes immensely when they find out his Twitter time is more than Instagram.
Allison
Allison is similar to Nicky in some sense but more professional, it has more of a 'model/fashion student' vibe to it; she likes to post random stories of her having dressed Neil up (bonding she calls it) and has a little highlight for him (the foxes appreciate her efforts).
She likes to do reels, like "dress up neil w/ me!". She also does advertisements w/ skincare & makeup groups.
She has a very aesthetic-looking account; she likes to do GRWM's (and sometimes they star a fellow fox which makes the fan so excited for each new release). She's extremely charismatic and draws a lot of followers from industries other than sport/exy.
Dan
Dan posts about Exy A LOT which surprises the foxes because even though they know that she loves the sport they didn't realise she followed it with such ferocity.
She has a lot of Foxes content on her page, like group photos or post-match selfies etc. She always posts something like that with the score of the game in the caption.
Her pfp is either one of her and Matt's eyes or a photo of them kissing at the end of a game (maybe the Raven one?).
Matt
Matt's Instagram is a shrine of Dan...andNeil. His focus is largely selfies w them or candids of them. He has highlights for them, named "<3" & "Neil!" (they used to both be <3 but then someone asked if they were poly and the foxes lost their shit).
Matt doesn't really post about exy that much, his Instagram seems to capture the domestic side of the Foxes that don't get shown too much through the other's accounts.
Matt's favourite passtime is posting photos of Neil where he blatantly crops Andrew out of the photo. So you get: Neil looking in adoration at... someone? something? The fans go crazy every time.
Renee
Renee's Instagram is the epitome of domestic. It's crazy. She's private and only accepts people she knows (aka the foxes). She posts the most beautiful candids of the foxes you will ever see; them in their Halloween outfits in Eden's Twilight, (an extra slide of Andrew and Neil looking at each other (it was a collective agreement to ignore Kevin who was slumped on the table)), them post Raven match which was taken by Stephanie Walker, a games night which Neil somehow coaxed everyone into (including Andrew) etc.
It's an account almost solely for documenting the PSU Foxes adventures together. Sometimes she posts a quote about her beliefs or music that she likes.
Her account is the foxes favourite, though they'd never admit it.
Even at gunpoint.
Aaron
Last (and very much least), Aarons Instagram (post book three) is almost entirely soft-launching Katelyn.
Library study photos where you can see a girl's hand and someone else's book?
Check.
Two coffees one which has a lipstick stain on it?
Check.
He's done it all.
(Pre-book three as well) He also sometimes posts random photos of like locations (#courthouse /j) but nothing more than that, all of it is Katelyn and it makes the foxes ill.
I may do more. or edit this

TSC FIRST REACTIONS (SPOILERS)
i have many more but my brain is mush rn
-
-
-
-
-
jean watching the championship game was heart racing bc WE all know what happens at the end. his reaction to riko’s death is… the detached description of it is so fitting because he barely remembers it himself, he was so disassociated
the fact that his first knee jerk reaction to fear and panic is to claw at his neck until it bleeds is so interesting bc hello that takes strength and PAIN to dig that deep, i don’t understand it even after finishing the book but hoping i get more clarity on my second read.
jeremy and kevin’s relationship is very trusting, i think more than we thought. not the fangirl of each other that we joke about.
jean taking the picture of renee pls shoot me
jeremy’s rage and grief when he finally starts getting a bigger scope of everything jean lived through is a LOT. i wanna scream at jean to just LET HIM IN even knowing he won’t
the in depth explanations of the 16 hour days and all these other little evermore facts that we’re learning and have wanted to know for YEARS… yikes
jeremy calling kevin with no warning asking “did riko break ur hand?” SO BOLD
jeans notebooks crush my soul so hard it’s heartbreaking. and his trinkets😭
“Jean was exactly the kind of guy Jeremy was prone to trip himself up over” OH MY GOD?? there’s a difference between me wanting jerejean vs them actually being attracted to one another.
jeremy is a golden retriever confirmed. “This is Barkbark von Barkenstein. You can call him Barkbark or Mister B for short. It's a bit of a mouthful on its own.”
BLOND JEREMY YAS
jeans reaction to blond jeremy. fully took this man out of orbit.
although he hasn’t confirmed fully, jean being gay (assumption) was almost surprising bc from what i remember from the EC i almost thought he’d lean more pansexual since the ravens kinda slept with whoever (not that he seems like the type to use labels anyway)
“Kevin's words mocked him in the back of his thoughts: ‘Some of them you like.’ Jean cut off that line of thinking so fast he felt dizzy. It didn't matter that Jeremy Knox was annoyingly easy to look at; Jean knew better than to look at another man too long.” SCREAMING?? WAS JEAN THE ONE W THE CRUSH ON JEREMY THIS WHOLE TIME WHILE KEVIN WAS JUST FRIENDS??
and now my chest hurts bc “He was years away, watching a different beautiful boy lean in close to say, Will you teach me when he's not watching? It could be our secret.
Jeremy Cat and Laila seeing the notebooks broke me a little, the accidental invasion hurt
the ravens dropping like flies…
“he hadn’t missed the way Jean’s gaze tracked him when he readied for bed. Since Jean was quick to look away when he was caught, Jeremy had promised himself he wouldn’t ask. This was too good an opening to pass up, though, so he finally said, “More exclusively than you do, I think. Does that bother you?” AHHHHHHHH WOAHHHHHH i threw my phone (also can’t tell if jean looks at cat/laila the way jeremy assumed in that paragraph or if it’s just curiosity, cause it always seems like it’s just curiosity not attraction
Grayson. think we all saw smth like that coming from jeans time in the nest but holy shit
Neil showing up WOAH. i knew his FBI business wouldn’t be over in one day but i didn’t rlly expect that, although it makes sense
im still not over jeremy actually being gay its a dream come true that we all saw and hoped for but still

Pt. 16 of Dead Poets Society Headcanons
Them as parents (single)
Neil
He’s trying to make up for being a single dad so he’s a good dad
The freezer almost always has ice cream in it, and he lets the kid eat it after dinner most nights
He doesn’t tell his kid much about his childhood, he just wants his kids childhood to be better than his was
He wants to be a better dad than his dad was
And he does a great job
He takes his kids to play dates, theatre shows, he doesn’t force his kid to do anything the kid doesn’t want to
He tucks his kid in every night and gives him a kiss on the forehead
He keeps them company when they’re sick and home from school, which means he gets sick too, but it’s worth it
Todd
Todd is an anxious parent (unsurprisingly)
He wants to let his kid enjoy themselves but he’s generally nervous about letting them have sleepovers and play dates
He tries to loosen up but the anxieties still there, he just ignores it most of the time
His kid is a lot like him tho, so it’s not too bad
Eventually he decides to take both him and his kid to therapy
And they both get diagnosed with anxiety
Then they both get put on anxiety meds
And then they start living a bit more freely, less anxious about everything like they used to be
Todd lets his kid have playdates and his kid manages to make a few friends
Charlie
Charlie’s a fun parent (which came as a surprise to no one)
He takes his kid to have play dates and even tho he’s a working dad, he’s a banker, he makes sure to make time for his kid
He’s a good influence, he’s nice to his nanny and tries his best to teach his kid manners
He’s a patient parent, and finally understand why he could’ve been considered insufferable when he was younger
On the weekends he takes his kid to the beach or museums, he wants his kid to be cultured and know things
Pitts
Pitts is a gentle parent
He read a lot of parents books before having a kid
He’s a careful and conscientious parent
Picking the kid up from school and helping with homework when he can
He tries his best to let his kid enjoy themself
Buying them music and even signing them up for piano lessons
He goes to every piano lesson and concert and loves every minute of it
After the concerts he takes his kid to get ice cream or another treat
Meeks
He’s also a gentle parent
He was nervous at first about being a single parent
But something about seeing the kid made him soften
And make him realize that things would be alright
His kid is his rock
He likes dressing his kid up in silly little outfits with bow ties and fun socks
Knox
Knox is probably a bit too careless when it comes to his kid
It’s not that he doesn’t care
He just feels like his kid should figure things out on their own
Like how peanut butter and cheese whiz probably isn’t a good combo
Or how staying up late watching tv probably isn’t a good idea
His kid lives freely, coming in covered in mud and needing to get a bath
Cameron
Cameron tries not to be too strict
He knows and understand where his dad went, not wrong, but where he had troubles
And he tries to not be like his dad
But there’s some things that’s just stick
Like having a strict bedtime or being careful when his kid wants a play date or sleepover
But he still lets his kid enjoy themselves
He’s just a bit more careful about it
He reads to his kid every night
Mostly poetry, and when his kid has questions about it, he answers as best he can
He tells his kid stories about Welton, mostly about Keating and the Dead Poets

i think dead poets in nyc has permanently changed my perception of both todd and neil, anytime i think of them post canon i always picture them as more ethan hawke and rsl like than they are in canon.
if i remember correctly that was kind of the point, there was something about how they both had auditioned for opposite roles and peter weir decided to switch them so that by the end of the play they have swapped places in the story. it’s interesting to me how that plays out, particularly since I do think in a way they are both more themselves at the end of their character arcs than any other point. for todd it’s kind of obvious, as someone with social anxiety, although it seriously affects how i am around people, i mostly don’t really consider it to be my actual personality or what i’m really like even if it has a significant constant effect on my life. by the end of the movie todd has overcome some of that anxiety and is more comfortable existing as himself at least around the poets (see the later cave scenes and when they’re getting ready for the play) and additionally is able to stand up to nolan at the end of the play completely by himself (once he stood up it’s not surprising that half the class followed but still it was him that stood up first and he had no way of knowing what would happen).
neil to me is a bit more complicated but the way i’ve always interpreted his character arc (which is a pretty common interpretation i think) is that he always had some underlying mental health issues that he was able to hide, which was even easier since most of the movie takes place during probably the happiest period of his life. it’s interesting to me that in earlier versions he is more obviously depressed, and although i don’t consider them canon at all, i do think the intention kind of carried over, he’s still depressed but he’s hiding it instead of letting people see him in that way. although this anecdote was about todd, i think the interview with ethan hawke and rsl about the original desk scene kind of encapsulates the whole thing, i think it was ethan that said the reason the original scene didn’t work was because todd would never be that self deprecating in front of neil. i think it’s exactly the same for neil. (on a side note; the original scene i think still exists, like the whole $5.98 thing, just todd never externalizes any of those thoughts. there are multiple examples of this sort of thing comparing older versions of the script to newer ones, and i personally think they may exist in the same way, like an older version of the scene after the first confrontation with neil’s dad where neil is visibly angry, in the final version he hides it but i think he would be feeling similar emotions as could be seen in that version) to an extent i do think some of his personality is fabricated both more obviously for his father (see im trapped scene) and also in general around his peers, even if it is just pretending he’s more okay than he is although i kind of think it might go further than that . we only briefly see him pre-keating/the society/acting so it’s a bit hard to gauge what he was like before. the dropping the annual scene is the first and biggest sign something was off until the i’m trapped scene and i think it says a lot about how he deals with his issues as well as how he attempts to hide them (telling charlie and knox that they wouldn’t stand up to their parents either- im not entirely sure how true this is at least for knox but they both go along with it). since it’s an isolated incident it’s kind of easy to brush off if you don’t know where the movie is going to go, which is probably also true for his friends. after that one scene he never outwardly shows that anything is wrong other than briefly while talking to todd and in one filmed cut scene which i think was cut for a reason. to an extent even keating doesn’t know how bad it had gotten for neil; i don’t think if he knew neil was at risk of suicide he would’ve given the advice he did. the only time in the movie he actually seriously confides in someone is with keating briefly, and the next time they talk he goes back to pretending things are fine. his suicide attempt is him attempting to take control over his life in the only way he knows to do at that point. although it’s possible the only thing he hid from his peers was his mental illness, the possibility that he is masking to an even more extreme degree has always been interesting to me. for his whole life he has had to pretend to be someone else for his father, it makes sense that he’d feel the need to do the same for his friends. i don’t think he really fully learns that he can drop that mask around his friends, i think it just becomes too exhausting to hold up any longer.
i don’t thing neil would be the same post canon (if he lives). he ultimately fails at being the “dutiful son,” which even during the final argument with his father this is still something he is trying to sustain even if subconsciously, and that is part of the reason he can’t stand up to his father. i don’t think after the attempt that he’d continue to try to fulfill that role, which in turn i think could cause him to drop other aspects of his mask, esp. since everyone has already seen him at his worst. also i could see how after attempting suicide it might feel like none of this matters as much as he thought before. (to be clear i’m not trying to say his depression or his attempt is who he is, the depresson has a heavy impact on him which he hides from everyone else, up until his attempt, although i can see how comparing him as an inverse to todd whose social anxiety prevents him from doing what he wants and other people knowing who he is could come off that way.) we know todd has social anxiety and that isn’t Who he is even though it significantly impacts him and his life, and we get a better idea of who he is when his anxiety is lessened, at the same time neil is hiding the effects of his depression as well as other parts of himself and acts in a way that is most honest to who he is during the play, and to how much he is struggling in his last scene
this might be a big pile of nonsense sorry i just have too many thoughts about neil

So we all knox has got a thing for reverse cowgirl.. what about a smutty fic where he comes home in the cowboy costume from the ending of number 2 and he gets you to ride him and you do reverse cowgirl for him?
Take a Ride
Tumblr media
You knew that Johnny was going to come home to you on a high that night; it was the last day of filming for the second Jackass film so you expected him to come home, happy and filled with alcohol from the trip he would take to the bar with the other guys to celebrate, so it surprised you when you heard Johnny walk through your front door at 10pm. You paused your TV, which was playing a YouTube video of an interview Johnny did when he was on Conan, and went to greet him.
‘Hey baby, what are you doing back so early?’ You asked, stopping in your tracks when you took in his appearance. He was wearing a black cowboy outfit, hat and all and you found it stupidly attractive.
‘I just wanted to come home after filming, took a pretty hard hit earlier and been feeling a bit off ever since. I can go and celebrate with them another time, it’s not like it’s the last time they’re going out to get drunk,’ Johnny replied, chuckling to himself. ‘Besides, I thought we could celebrate on our own.’ He said, walking over to you and pressing a gentle kiss to your lips. The kiss pulled you out of your thoughts, you realised that you hadn’t heard a single word of what Johnny had said, you were too busy running your eyes up and down his body.
‘Well I like the sound of that,’ you hummed, resting your head against his chest. You looked up at him and smiled softly when you saw that he was already looking down at you and you couldn’t help the blush rise on your cheeks as you took in the cowboy hat perched on his head. ‘I like this,’ you said, lightly flicking the rim of the hat, ‘what are you wearing it for?’
‘The outfits for a bit at the end of the show, you’re gonna get to see me dance and everything,’ he teased as you laughed lightly.
‘I can’t wait to see it,’ you said, grinning as you reached up on your toes to take the hat from his head, only to place it on top of your own head. ‘Didn’t you say that you wanted to celebrate?’
You couldn’t help but laugh when you saw the grin that slowly stretched its way onto Johnny’s face as he pulled you tighter against him. ‘Since we’re celebrating me,’ he said cockily, making you slap his chest lightly, ‘I think that I want to see you take a ride. Wearing nothing but this hat,’ he pulled the hat down slightly over your eyes as he spoke lowly, knowing exactly what it would do to you.
You pressed yourself even closer, if that was possible, to Johnny as your hands moved to cup his cheeks as he lifted you up by the backs of your legs so you were at a better height to connect your lips. The kiss turned heated immediately, his tongue moving into your mouth and letting you taste the cheap chewing gum that he’d gotten rid of just before he had got home. His hands squeezed your ass, making you moan into his mouth as he walked you both through the house, up the stairs and into your bedroom before sitting down on the bed.
When you broke the kiss to catch your breath, Johnny moved his head to your neck, kissing and biting down harshly so you knew that you were going to have one heck of a cover up job before you left the house tomorrow. ‘Put on a show for me baby,’ he mumbled into your neck as he gave your ass a gentle slap, signalling that he wanted you to get up. Standing up, you slowly lifted his t-shirt that you were wearing up and off of your body, leaving you in just your bra and shorts. Turning around so you would be able to give Johnny a good view of your ass, you bent over slightly and slid your shorts down your legs until you were able to kick them off of your ankles, smirking when you heard the small ‘fuck’ from Johnny when he realised you weren’t wearing anything underneath.
Heading back over to where Johnny had moved until he was sitting against the headboard and shoved his black jeans down just far enough to free his cock, you couldn’t help but admire the view of his eyes on you as his hands pumped steadily up and down his cock. Crawling onto the bed, you swung your leg over his and sat on his lap, just in front of his cock as his hands moved up your back, pulling you against him.
‘I thought I told you I wanted everything except the hat off,’ he whispered into your ear, making you shiver.
‘Well I thought that you would like to do the honours, giving we’re celebrating you tonight after all,’ you said innocently as you brought you lips to the base of his throat, leaving open mouthed kisses across his skin. With a flick of his fingers, he had undone the clasp of your bra and ripped the offending item from your body, his fingers coming up to pinch your nipples which made you arch your chest into his.
All of a sudden you felt Johnny’s hand on the nape of your neck as you were roughly yanked forward until his lips were on yours once again. The kiss was rough as the hand that wasn’t keeping you firmly in place ran all over your body, pausing when he reached your pussy and he chuckled into your mouth when he felt how wet you were. ‘This all for me, doll?’ he asked, clearly not expecting an answer. You could only whine against his lips as he kissed you harder to muffle the sound. ‘Shh, you’re okay, I’ve got you,’ he said as he pulled away, bring both hands up to undo his shirt.
‘Keep it on,’ you said softly, running your hands up and down the soft material until Johnny’s fingers wrapping around your wrists halted your movements.
‘Someone really likes the cowboy outfit, huh?’ he teased. Instead of replying, you lifted yourself up onto your knees as he lined his cock up with your entrance. Keeping eye contact with him, you slowly lowered yourself onto his cock, whimpering when you were sitting on his lap with his cock fully inside you. ‘Shit, you always feel so good, doll,’ he groaned as his hands flexed on your waist.
You soon started a quick pace that had moans spilling out of yours and Johnny’s lips constantly. ‘Doll, you look so good like his,’ Johnny managed to get out as he sat up and pressed his chest up against yours. In a flash of movement, Johnny had turned you around into the reverse cowgirl position and had taken over, using his grip on your waist to pull you up and down his cock like a doll.
‘PJ,’ you panted as you held onto his legs in order to get a semblance of balance. One of Johnny’s hands left your waist to tangle itself in the hair at the back of your head, pulling you up against his chest and harshly grinding against you, the new position not giving much room for him to thrust.
‘Fuck, doll, if only you could see yourself right now, my perfect little cowgirl,’ he groaned as he pressed his hips against yours as tightly as he could, burying his head in your neck and biting down on the skin of your shoulder as he emptied himself into you. He reached his arm around your body and a single touch to your clit had you cumming over his cock, making Johnny’s breath hitch as he felt your pussy squeeze around his softening cock.
You rolled yourself off of Johnny until you were lying next to him, the both of you panting as you tried to catch your breath. You reached up to take the hat from your head, throwing it to the corner of the room as Johnny laughed and leaned over you, pressing a quick peck to your lips.
‘I think we need to keep that hat around if it gets you all riled up like that,’ he said as his thumb rubbed along your cheekbone.
‘Or maybe if you come home in this cowboy get up more often. Congratulations, PJ, I’m proud of you,’ you replied and watched as Johnny’s eyes softened at your words.
‘That means the world, doll, you’re the only one I want to make proud, always.’ You both lay in a content silence for a few minutes before you heard Johnny groan and sit up.
‘What is it?’ you asked, running a hand along his back that was still covered by his shirt, slightly damp now from your rigorous activities.
‘I’ve gotta try and get out of this thing now,’ he said gesturing to the shirt, ‘maybe next time, get riled up when I do a stunt shirtless or something.’

legally required to send you an ask? what if i pull a neil and lie to the fbi when they come to get me??? genuinely tho, tsc was so fucking good. jeremy and cat and lalia's dynamic has me chewing on walls, but so does the unrequited kevjean (fucked over by another pretty face??? jean teaching him french?????) and reading about the foxes's wins from jean's pov has me screaminf crying etc but I'd really love to hear if you have any theories on Jeremy's family?
Surprise I’m actually the FBI and I’m onto u now
But for real I’ve been going crazy thinking about TSC since I read it. The kevjean dynamic has me losing my mind like I got SHIVERS reading his asking Jean to teach him French. And the way my stomach FLIPPED reading “did you know I’ve never been skiing?” From Jeans POV. Puking vomitting screaming crying throwing up okay
Jeremy’s family. I have NO idea. It’s so vague they’re purely like random shots in the dark as to what it could be but here’s my thoughts as of rn:
1) Jeremy’s family are big investors in USC. It’s why he’s Captain, it’s why he has to show his face at Knox family events, public gatherings and all that, because he’s the proof that the money is worth it for the returns, and he’s the face of USC. They’re counting on his success to bring them more money.
2) Half of his family are homophobic. Maybe it’s just because he’s gay and his Political Old Money family seem to not get along with him very well that I think that, but also him bleaching his hair blond and then being unwelcome at dinners because of it. It seems like image is very important to them, and even if he’s quietly gay, dying his hair could be perceived as a Gay Thing To Do. His sister says to him “you destroyed the family,” what specifically could he have done to tear his family apart? Imagine your family investing (millions maybe) into your team, your sport, and then you put their image in jeopardy for being the out and proud gay kid that creates a negative talking point. He also quickly puts his phone away when he realises his sister is around which feels like a gay kid hiding from his family thing to do.
3) the banquet im at a loss for to be honest. I’ve been trying to rack my brain around what could’ve happened, but what we do know is a) whatever happened at the banquet tore their family apart b) his sister pretends Exy doesn’t exist because of it c) she’s never forgiven him for it. Gay Trauma brain of mine says maybe he took a man as his date and it caused a lot of problems in his home life, maybe they asked him not to and he said fuck you and did it anyway. But would that really destroy his family? The therapist thing too. Fight back against what???
4) there’s obviously some weird relationship problems in his family too. Doesn’t like to be called Knox, says his grandfather is not his grandfather, avoids his brother like the plague. The only person he seems to talk to is the butler. His sister barely regards him as well. He feels like the black sheep but I don’t know why!!! Also at some point it’s mentioned (I’m pretty sure anyway) that he doesn’t seem to be getting much in terms of monetary handouts from his family so he’s potentially having Allison type problems where he’s lost his inheritance or cut out of his grandfathers will or SOMETHING. He feels like the disappointment of his family but I can’t place my finger on why other than the fact that he’s gay. I don’t know. I’m going CRAZY not knowing tho.
Jeremy is fascinating me and it’s infuriating that I don’t know more. I know it’ll make the reveal in TCS2 much sweeter but damn can I pls get a little crumb of his backstory? His trauma? Just a little bit?
Anyways this an incoherent jumbled mess of thoughts about Jeremy but I am SO curious about his family. The banquet especially because it’s pretty intense, or seems to be at least from that little paragraph about it. I would die for you Jeremy Knox just tell me everything first pls!!!!!

Johnny falling for bams sister ,keeping their relationship a secret and when it comes to the light bam is PISSED pls and thank youuu
Johnny Dating Bam's Little Sister Head Cannons!
Tumblr media
a/n: I thought this idea would be cute as HCs so yeah!
prompt: Read request above :)
warnings: Fem!reader, nothing else I don't think?
Tumblr media
You and Johnny had a secret relationship going on for a bit, ever since the last season of Jackass aired.
Johnny and you met during the tv show Jackass when they were shooting their famous slip and slide shoots
That was your first time meeting everyone and you had the most fun ever
When Johnny first saw you he swear he went weak in the knees, sure Bam had shown him probably hundreds of photos of you but nothing could compare to how breath taking you were in person
Lucky for Johnny you instantly clicked with him, the both of you going down the large slide together laughing each time you both went down
Johnny's hands tightly wrapped around your waist as your hands sat on top of his
When Bam finally saw this sight he was not happy
"Hey Knoxville not to be an ass or anything but watch where and how your touching my sister. Yeah?"
Which made you get mad at Bam for being a cock-block but instead of flat out saying that you of course just mad the argument that you were your own person
Ryan probably was the one that would calm things down and tell Bam he was getting worked up over a quote, "Dumbass fucking slip and slide."
But when Johnny asked for your number and a possible date after shooting you knew it wasn't a dumbass fucking slip and slide.
You two went out on your secret date and enjoyed it, like a lot
So much so you went on a second one the next day!
After another week or two you sadly had to return back home to West Chester with Bam and Ryan :(
But thankfully Johnny was the first to volunteer to be the one to drive you all to the airport
While hugging you goodbye outside of the airport Johnny whispered into your ear
"Gonna miss ya sweetheart, call me everyday alright?"
You looked behind you while pulling away from the hug and when you saw your brother and his friend were already in the airport you quickly smashed your lips into Johnny's
"I'll call you every time I can Knox. Don't go around kissing other girls while i'm not in LA."
It was unspoken that ever since that kiss you two were dating.
But the soul reason your relationship was a secret was because of your brother, Bam.
You knew very well that if your relationship with Johnny came into light Bam would be the first one to have something to say
It was hard to try and see each other frequently and keep things undercover still
"Hey Yn have you seen my sweatshirt that says- Knoxville? What the hell are you doing here? And why the hell are you in my sisters room?"
"Uh- I came to surprise you! MTV wanted me to- um- shoot some things with you for your show! Viva La Bam!"
"Why didn't they tell or ask me this? It's my show."
"Surprise?"
Johnny was 1000% there to see you and only you.
But thankfully your brother was too blind to see that
While Johnny visited you you got to see how he interacted with the people you loved the most back in West Chester
He was always such a sweetheart to your mom, April, and your mom loved Johnny. She thought he was the sweetest man on planet earth
"Johnny's a nice boy Yn."
Phil or your dad felt the same way about Johnny, he thought he was a great guy
While Johnny was in West Chester I feel like the two of you would sneak off and go on dates
You would take him to your favorite restaurant and show him around West Chester since no one really gave him a tour
Johnny would love seeing how happy you got when telling stories about memories of your childhood with Bam
"Oh and there Bam and I got kicked out cause we- are you even listening to me?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry sweetheart. Ya just look real pretty right now."
When you two would return home Ryan would see you two stepping out of your car together
You two didn't see him since he was smoking a cigarette behind a bush, thinking the coast was clear you two shared a kiss as Johnny leaned up against the door of your car
Ryan practically choked on the smoke of his cigarette as he saw your lips touch
Ryan would come out from behind the bush with a shell shocked expression
"No way. No fucking way."
"Ryan?!"
Johnny started laughing, not knowing how to take in the situation at hand while you began to beg you and your brothers best friend not to tell
"Yn, Knoxville, I love you guys but no way in hell I'm not telling Bam this right now!"
Ryan wouldn't tell Bam to be mean though, he thought it was funny
Ryan sprinted into the house as you and Johnny followed up closely running just as quickly
When Ryan bursted through the door he was met with everyone, for once, sitting in the living room peacefully watching some random show
"Yn and- *gasp* Knoxville were- *gasp* kissing!"
"He's lying! I did not!" - you very out of breath
Bam was the first one out of his seat, an expression you couldn't read on his face
When Ryan kept swearing on everything he owned that you two kissed you understood there was no chance your brother was going to believe you
Bam defiantly had a choice of words for you and Johnny (more so Johnny)
"Why are you kissing my sister you jackass?!"
"God the shit your going to deal with the rest of the time your here Knoxville!"
"I swear to god if you two are dating-"
When you told your brother that you two were in fact dating and had been since the Jackass tv show you swore you could see the steam from his ears
Bam most likely lashed out, saying how it wasn't ok he didn't know one of his best friends and sister were dating
But when you snapped back that this was exactly the reason you didn't tell him all the anger left his body
Bam wasn't mad anymore, he didn't know why he got so mad in the first place. He just really cares about you :(
He knew Johnny was a good guy, probably the best choice for you to date out of the rest of the guys
Bam would then apologize for lashing out like that, and you and Johnny would forgive him
April and Phil watched from the couch, a large smile on both their faces now
Ryan even apologized for snitching, and you and Johnny again forgave someone else
But just because Bam accepted it now doesn't mean he didn't have a few words for Johnny..
"But so god help you Knoxville if you even dare make her cry once I will make your life a living hell."
"Ok Bam that's enough." - You

The new cast of jackass freaking out over the famous reader who is married to Johnny who came to visit that fine silver fox-I mean her husband 😭💗
I LOVE THIS! I have a slightly suggestive silver foxville fic in my drafts rn I’m debating on posting…so maybe this will help me post that because that man is still fine as hell😭🫣
Out with the Old
Knox x reader
Tumblr media
I arrived on set, but because of covid it was the first time I was allowed to visit my husband and all his friends while they were filming, it was also the first time I’d be officially meeting the new guys.
Johnny said they were filming a bit with Rachel, Poopies, and Steveo where they had to be “mimes” and right away I saw the mime costumes and Knox in a green cardigan and his raybans that haven’t left his side for 20 years.
When Knox saw me, his face lit up and he jogged over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist, and bending down to kiss me, my hand sliding up to his jaw. He didn’t know I was coming today either, I’d been filming for a show up in Canada the past 2 weeks so he’d only been able to fly out once to see me since they were filming Jackass right now too, so I talked to Jeff and wanted to surpise him.
We met back in 2005, both of us on set for some movie and after filming was done for that, he asked me out. And 4 years later he proposed, and we’ve been married since then. The other guys of Jackass have just become complete family to me too, spending so much time with them at premiers, dinners, and visiting everyone on set when I wasn’t filming something of my own.
“God honey, what are you doing here?” He asked suprised, his hands holding my hips still. “We got done filming early, and I wanted to suprise you, so I talked to Jeff and he said I could come” I said, running my hand down his chest, feeling him flex under his tee shirt.
“I’ve missed you” he told me, engulfing me in another hug that I’ve missed. “C‘mon, we just have a bit more to film, but you can see some of the old guys who are here and I’ll introduce you to the new ones, then I’m taking you home” he said, throwing me a wink under his sunglasses.
By now everyone was starting, and the new people were talking amongst themselves, pointing over at me. When me and Knox started to approach, Chris instantly ran over to hug me. “I’ve missed you, this man hasn’t shut up about you since filming started” he said, making Johnny’s cheeks blush. I looked over at him, and his silver hair that was shining in the sunlight, and reflecting off his tan skin. If anyone ages like fine wine, it’s my husband.
The new guys had slowly approached us, so I turned to them and said, “hey guys! I’m y/n, I’m married to this old man” I joked, poking Knox in his arm, as he was standing behind me, hugging me with his head on my shoulder.
“we know who you are! Everyone here always talks about you and you’re one of my favorite actresses!” Rachel said, coming up to give me a hug. “It’s so nice to see a girl around here for a change! Keep them in shape for me when I’m not around” I joked, getting a laugh from everyone.
Poopies talked next saying, “wow, I totally had a crush on you when I was a kid” and then turned to Knox and said, “you’re a lucky man dude” getting everyone to laugh again, and a slap to the arm from Knox.
“Thank god you showed up, Knox has been relentless and getting on everyone’s nerves, I think he just needs laid” Steveo joked, telling me about how much of a handful he’d been the past couple weeks, especially with the tasers which didn’t surprise me.
We all stood around and talked, and I watched Steveo get his shins absolutely destroyed with a skateboard, before Knox was back at my side, his arm around my waist. “Wanna get out of here sweetheart?” He asked lowly, running a big hand down my side. “Of course, old man” I joked, making him smile and kiss my head.
“We’re out for the night, we’ll see you guys in the morning!” He yelled, multiple people waving or yelling “see ya later” back. Jeff yelling “don’t have too much fun kids”, getting a middle finger from me and a “this is why I taze you Jeff” from Knox as we walked to his car.
He held the door open for me and ran around to the drivers seat, instantly holding my hand in his over the counsel. “So, what do you think of the new guys?” He asked, turning his head to look at me with that million-dollar smile I fell for.
“They’re super funny, I can’t wait to meet the others, you picked good honey” I told him, to which he kissed the back of my hand and said, “well I’m married to you, so obviously I know how to pick ‘em”

RAW 16/10/23
Lonely Sami
Tumblr media
The opening segment featured Sami Zayn as he talks about being on his own now that Kevin Owens has been traded to Smackdown for Jey Uso. The Judgement Day came out to beat up Sami, until Jey makes the save. The main takeaway is that Sami is frustrated because Jey has a friend, a tag team partner, and the tag team belts; all that Sami once had.
Ricochet and Shinsuke Nakamura fought in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Wade Barrett stated on commentary that this will be Ricochet’s playground and it was exactly that. There was an INSANE spot where Ricochet did a shooting star press off a balcony and onto Nakamura. Ultimately Ricochet lost, but for some time I thought, maybe, just maybe he may pick up a victory.
Natalya took on Piper Niven in a short and awkward match. Piper won and Tegan Knox came to the save in post-match beatdown.
The story between Seth Rollins and Drew Mcintyre advances as Seth tells Drew to get over his past defeats and move forward. Drew can’t, but wants to prove he can beat Rollins without getting screwed over. Later Drew crosses paths with Sami and tells him he shouldn’t be forgiving Jey so easily and with that happy-go-lucky attitude he won’t ever become World Heavyweight Champion. Sami reenforces what Seth told Drew; that he needs to get over the Bloodline. This ends in a challenge for next week as Sami will take on Drew.
Ludwig and Gargano had a good match but ended due to shenanigans. More followed during the Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler match, which was quite good with some hard-hitting strikes until Nia Jax, Zoey Stark, Raquel Rodriguez all got involved in an outside brawl. This eventually ended the bout in a DQ. New Raw GM, Adam Pearce made a five-way at Crown Jewel. I have a feeling it will be a short match full of finishers with Rhea winning.
Jade Cargill made another appearance as she was about to challenge Becky for the NXT title, but Lynch told her to get in line. Cargill still has no destination, but I like what is being done here by having her turn up and mix it a little with different talent. This gives us – the audience – a barometer to measure chemistry.
I hate ‘’yeet’’.
Gunther – to no surprise – retained his Intercontinental Championship. The matched had a lot of chopping with a very impressive powerbomb delivered from Gunter on Bronson Reed to end the match.
The main event was an interesting one as Jimmy Uso interfered, costing Jey and Cody Rhodes the belts. Prior to this, Damien Priest put Cody through the announce table and Dominik Mysterio was getting involved quite a bit. It seemed like our champs didn’t have a chance here. I guess Drew was right about not leaving the Bloodline in the rearview mirror.
This was a better show than Smackdown, but we need more clean matches with a winner. I didn’t mind the tag team titles being dropped. I think Cody needs to go back to being solo and we need to see what main event Jey can do outside of being a tag team, although he has Sami if they don’t have anything for him to do.

mousey times pt. 2!
Tumblr media
@randomlifeunit
My first comment! Oh, you're lovely. Thank you! All right, yes, to answer.
Until I recently moved into a 'no pets' home, I had hamsters so I can entirely understand your boys' desire to keep small rodents captive for the mutual amusements of both sides. The first time I saw one of the NIMH mice in a cage instead of streaking across the floor like an oversized cockroach I too entertained the 'but what if we keep him?' thought. I'm proud to say I was just as sensible about it as you were...
but only just barely.
all right - story time! Here, have a cup of something nice and settle in
Tumblr media
So, to recap, this winter I had several mice decide the inside of my place was good winter lodgings. I disagreed. I managed to catch three of them and then my brother in law was kind enough to come over and help me. Mice activity seemed to be centered in the kitchen despite the fact I'd locked all the food up like Fort Knox and so he helped me move the stove and the fridge out of the way. Sure enough, the floor behind the fridge had sunk, probably due to water damage from the last tenant, and the gap it left was big enough for a mouse to saunter through and not even have to remove his feather cap for. My BIL did some magic with spray foam and steel wool. He sealed some holes under the cabinets as well. Then he checked the rest of my place and went on his merry way, secure in a job well done. I cleaned up the layers of mouse pee behind the fridge that told me this wasn't their first Christmas there.
So I think all's well. Things are sealed up. I know my other rooms are secure. I've caught everyone I was aware of already and anyone that shows up tonight will just have to realize the hotel has hung out the No Vacancy sign.
Except.
Because you already knew there was an 'except' coming. Except, that night, while I was at my desk working on the computer I heard a squeak. A squeak from under the cabinets. And it wasn't a small squeak, no. It was the kind of squeak that held all the indignite surprise and mousy curse words something that small could possibly pack into it. The way the cabinets are set up, the 'floor' of the cabinet is actually raised off the floor of the kitchen an inch or so and apparently someone had been napping under them while my BIL had been busy sealing up all the exits. Waking up and ready for a night of mischief (and waving at me as they ran past on the counter) they'd instead found themselves sealed in!
So I've got a mouse trapped underneath my cabinets. No problem. I get the trap out, put some peanut butter in it and pull out the lowest drawer in the cabinets drawers to put the trap there. I know rodents can crawl up the backs of drawers though (because that's how the hamsters would often come to visit me when I was writing at my desk) so I seal it up with my good old standby of duct tape and go back to work. There's a bit of foamy gnawing, a few more squeaky curse words but nobody emerges into the kitchen and I figure it should only take a day or two for the peanut butter to work.
Wrong.
By day four the trap is still safely guarding its peanut butter and I'm starting to worry that the little mouse might be starving in there. Now, its probably a very small mouse and I should probably let it starve despite the smell because its only going to be a small smell for a little while but -
yeah. I can't let him starve. A hoard of previous hamsters rises up inside my heart. I pull up the duct tape and put down a little jelly lid with water in it and some of the birdseed I've been feeding the local chickens.
The next day the food is gone. The cage remains empty.
I clean the peanut butter out of the trap and put the seed in there instead. Two days go by. No mouse. I cave again and put some of the seeds on top of the cage. They're gone the next day.
So yeah. Basically what I'm saying is I provided bed and board to a mouse all winter long.
Tumblr media
I tried the trap various times. I tried a different trap. I baited it with everything I thought a mouse could want. No go. Finally I just kind of gave in, bought real mouse food instead of bird seed and just made it a routine to replenish and rewater every other day. The mouse never came out. I never found a single poop or nibble anywhere in the kitchen, though from time to time I would hear little gnawing sounds or the unmistakable sound of a tiny mouse body doing tiny mouse things in one of the now empty, lower cabinets. I did find all the little holes in the cabinet though because the mouse smell did leak out of them and there's now decorative painter's tape in several areas. Everything that had been in the cabinets now found new homes in my bookcase. The Underneath was Mousey Territory now and we both stayed on our sides of that demarcation.
And then, one day, early this spring, I went to change the food and no one had eaten it. I kept an eye on things for almost two weeks but whoever my little surprise house elf friend had been, they didn't need my mouse food anymore. I keep a suspicious and sharp eye out but no mousey poop or chewed bags showed up anywhere else in the house. Maybe he died somewhere under the counter, asleep in a little curled ball in its nest of dandelion down I'd left for it but I never smelled anything whenever I opened the cabinets. I like to think he found a gap between the cabinets and the wall and is now running free, living his best mousey life in the newly planted corn fields with a wild story to tell all his mousey friends.
The cabinets remain empty and will continue to do so for the rest of my time here. If he did find a way out, I see no reason to encourage anyone else to move back in.
Did you ever find out how they were getting into your house? Was it seasonal for you as well?

Thoughts on AEW Dynamite/Rampage (spoilers)
It's awesome seeing Mercedes. She looks pretty happy to be there-- or at least back in a wrestling ring. She's always seemed like she was in that Moxley/Danielson/probably the other Horsewomen crowd of "I need you to understand that I love professional wrestling. I would marry pro wrestling if I could."
You could argue that only people in pro wrestling are the ones that love it, but there's been plenty of people who have gotten into the business without really loving it. But you can tell when people actually enjoy doing it.
Idk how I feel about her entrance music. Mostly because I can barely hear it-- I watch like 90% of AEW shows on an older tablet, so the audio quality is diminished. Plus, AEW is notorious for seemingly always having some kind of audio problem.
Willow vs Mercedes II is gonna fuck, when they book that.
Eddie's sleeveless duster thing looked cool as hell.
Okada manifesting in some portal behind the Codyvator (or he uses the Codyvator, I can't tell) is such a great entrance. Really helps make him feel like he's a big fucking deal.
I'm... fine... with Okada winning the Continental Championship or whatever they're calling it. It's just the one belt of the triple crown. I went into it expecting Okada to win-- I mean, it's Okada. I would have been fine with Eddie retaining, but I feel like it may be a bit too early for Okada to lose in a match where you'd basically have to lose clean.
Since Eddie is going against Mark Brisco for the ROH belt, I do wonder if they're gonna have Eddie just lose all three. And, if so, I wonder if it's for a storyline or something, or if Eddie just needs some time off.
I'm just, like, kind of tired of Chris Jericho. I get that he's important to the company as the first champion, and he's not unpopular. But the Hook match was just okay. I'll take it over the "Chris Jericho beats up Luchadors from CMLL" thing that's been happening.
Tony please stop having Ospreay show up right when I have to feed my cats and get ready for bed. He's so fucking fun and dorky when he's not wrestling.
I almost missed the tag match with Rosa/Deonna vs Toni/NotToni. But I can assume all four were fun, since they're all good in the ring.
Swerve is just so damn cool. The match with The Butcher was fun.
Samoa Joe is so smug, but cool, and scares me. He doesn't have 100% final boss energy, but he's so close.
It's been a little bit since Don Callis has been booed so loudly that it almost completely drowns him out.
Takeshita vs Swerve holy shit
Christian and Copeland was what I expected. It was fun. Absolutely hilarious that the ending to the match technically happened during Rampage. The ending itself was also hilarious. I'm still surprised it took this long for someone to use the strategy of just yam-bagging someone until they give up.
The Bullet Club Gold bit was funny as hell. I was really hoping Jay would be like, "I saved your life." -- while being excessively smarmy and smug like always.
Kinda feeling like The Acclaimed need to split up. Idk what it is really but I haven't been feeling Caster lately.
Best Friends vs The Don Callis Family was fun stuff. Kind of funny how Trent's back was bleeding for most of the match, but Knox didn't bother putting gloves on until Kyle's mouth was a crime scene.
Schiavone absolutely loathing that he has to exist anywhere near Callis is amazing. Reminds me of how much Mauro Ranallo hated Tommaso Ciampa back in NXT during Ciampa's no-music heel phase.
I am always here for a Shibata match.
Takeshita is so fucking good. And Rocky is also great.
Stat/Willow v The Spooky Ladies was fun.
The contrast between Statlander and Skye was amusing. Stat let her self be thrown onto thumbtacks, have them shoved in her mouth and then kicked, do a 450 and basically land knee-first onto some chairs. Skye did everything she could to not accidentally land into the thumbtacks.
Also, I'm assuming that Skye bladed after getting hit with the spike. From a theater/presentation standpoint, I feel like if she had bled more-- like if the cut was a little deeper or she took some aspirin or something-- it would have made the impact of the spike more dramatic. But I'm also not going to actually say that a wrestler *should* have bled more. They do enough and all that shit is at their own discretion. I'm not a booking agent or anything.
All in all, fun stuff.

i love ur hawk!reader posts sm!! i was wondering if you could do something in a similar vein but with a knoxville!reader? maybe what it would be like growing up around that kind of energy/(platonic) relationships with the other cast members + knox finally letting u be in jackass forever after years of begging?
i love this idea sm, i hope you like it!! i want to be a part of their little crazy family so bad
KNOXVILLE!READER JOINING JACKASS FOREVER CAST
It would take so fucking long to convince johnny to let you joint the crew. like, i'm talking begging since you were 16 and only had rollercoaster rides, skating, and surfing as your adrenaline rushes.
What finally convinced him to let you join was the fact that he raised you to be stubborn, and he knew that even if he said no, you'd go off and do stunts anyway, and he'd rather have you do dumb shit in a controlled environment as opposed to on your own.
He'd still get very nervous when you're actually doing a stunt, regardless as to whatever he had just done to potentially fuck up his body and brain forever.
You grew up around the jackass crew, and i feel like jeff and spike would be almost as hard to convince as johnny because whenever you were on set as a kid, you'd be sat in a director's chair beside them while the others did their stunts and they were like no way josé 🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️
Chris and steve-o wanted you to join the cast because it meant that johnny was less likely to run around with a taser (and they also missed spending time with you because you'd barely seen them in the ten years since 3.5 interviews)
I swear it's not just because she's the loml, but i feel like you and rachel would be bffs. but, no matter how great you two are as a duo, it's even better to see the trio between you, rachel, and poopies because you're all some of the most reckless members of the new cast and you have really great chemistry and are really comfortable with each other which makes for great footage.
I can see you three, and maybe zach and eric (andre), recreating a bunch of old jackass stunts that would probably play towards the end of jackass forever (or 4.5, i can't remember which) when they're doing parallels from that movie to the show/earlier movies.
You'd definitely do barrel surfing as a group, poopies would probably do el matador, you and rachel would do the gauntlet while the other three push the weights, and maybe (if you managed to get johnny off set for a day) you'd do roller buffalo.
I feel like jeff would have made sure that the og cast weren't around when you guys redid old stunts and left it as a surprise until the actual premier, and it would be a lie to say that johnny didn't get a bit emotional seeing you do his old stunts.
You and johnny would tease each other a lot, but you always had to be careful what you said because he wasn't afraid to go to any means possible to embarrass you.
He'd probably hold a grudge over it too ngl, like, he'd wait for his revenge if you make jokes about him being old and when jackass filming is 'over' he'd have a small camera on him that he'd use to get footage of him embarrassing you when you were flirting with someone at a restaurant or smth that he'd send off to jeff to be added to the final cut.
He didn't tell you he filmed it.
So you and johnny both got little surprises during the premier, but your surprise for him was a lot nicer.

The Guys™️ with Plus-Sized!Reader as their GF (possibly part one?)
TW: None :)
• Johnny: Knox would think you’re the most stunning thing in the whole world, always making sure you’re reminded of that every moment he has the chance to. He knows how difficult it can be from a social standpoint to be on the bigger side, but he does everything he can to make you forget about it all, and he never fails to make you feel like a queen - in fact, he’s prone to call you “My queen” 9 times out of 10. He still insists you sit in his lap too, wanting every chance he gets to be as close to you as possible
• Ryan: What doesn’t this man love about his plus sized lady? You in a bathing suit, whether it be a two piece or a one piece; “Well god damn, Y/N. Tryin’ to kill me?” Obsessed with your hips. All of your curves. He likes loves to slowly trace them with his hand or fingertips whenever you two are laying down together, often stopping to squeeze your hip(s) and thighs. He also loves laying on you and playing with your boobs by making them jiggle or he’ll just squeeze them like his own personal stress ball. Anytime that man looks at you, there’s no mistaking the look in his eyes and how they light up at just the mere sight of you; you are everything to him, and he’ll always be your Prince Charming.
• Steve-O: In a way, the fact that you are the way you are, it gives him a strong sense of comfort. Almost in a maternal way, but not in a weird way either — he just feels safe with you, safe to be vulnerable and completely himself. He speaks softer with you, softer than you’ve heard him speak to anyone before, and the way he clings to you when you’re alone is almost suffocating, but you know that he needs that. His favorite thing to do is to just lie on top of you, especially after a long day of shooting, and he just melts into you as you scratch his head/back and he quietly releases every bit of frustration or stress he had throughout his day. He’s also (surprisingly) extremely romantic, and he knows he can be a bit of a handful at times, so he really tries to romance you at least once a week, whether it be with a surprise dinner or flowers; he never lets you forget how thankful he is for you. He also cannot go more than an hour without smacking your ass, but that’s to be expected. 😉
• Chris Pontius: Talk about obsessed. Chris is infatuated with every thing about you. I mean, he really feels like the luckiest guy on the planet with you by his side. He loves that he can be a little rough with you, because he knows you can take it, which means you get tackled onto the bed or couch quite a lot, often followed by an attack of kisses all over your face, neck, and if there’s time - everywhere else. He can’t deny that he’s totally a boob guy, so whenever you wear anything that shows those girls off, he’s drooling. You two also go to concerts together a lot, which means you’ll be donned in black from head to toe, and if he’s lucky - your favorite fishnets, and the fact that he’s got a smoking hot girl next to him, jumping all around — he’s quite the happy dude. He also has a thing for your tummy and you have a thing for his too; I would be surprised if he didn’t initiate some kind of ‘tummy bump’ for you two to do as an inside thing. After a meal that got both of you stuffed, you two spend a few hours afterwards just laying around and rubbing each other’s tummies; you know, domestic things.
