Can you do a Walter Mckey x reader, where reader sees Millie and Keys being all buddy buddy and gets jealous and leaves the room and so Keys follows reader and then he tries to figure out what’s wrong and reader blurts out that they love him
Tumblr media
CANT STAND IT
summary: after seeing keys get close to millie again, you cant stand around and watch
warnings: angst? kinda? also short because after having to re-write this a billion times ive given up on making it longer.
keys and milles laughter echoed through the room. it had been a week after you all started working on bringing back life itself. you had originally joined their team after meeting keys at a coffee shop, he noticed you working on code at one of the tables and offered you his number. a week later you had helped behind the scenes with the game.
after life itself was finished they sold the game to soonami, and you all had gone your separate ways. keys had cut off contact from both of you, and you and millie stopped talking shortly after. so it was a surprise when millie contacted you about finding your underlying code in free city.
now you were standing in millies kitchen, glass of water in hand slightly getting irritated at their giggles. you peeked out the kitchen and saw a large smile on both their faces, you felt an ache in your chest as keys looked at millie like she put the stars in the sky. you wanted him to look at you like that.
you put your glass in her sink and walked into her living room grabbing your bag. you shut off your computer and walked out the room without saying a word. keys and millie looked at each-other confused, while mouser just rolled his eyes at them and went back to working.
you had clicked the button for the elevator when you heard a door open and quickly shut, a glimpse of keys face appearing in the crack of the door before it fully shut. you let out a sigh of relief, quickly getting out the elevator and starting the walk back to your apartment.
“y-y/n!” you could hear keys call out from behind you, the feeling of his hand on your shoulder making you jump. you turned around to look at him and he looked at you confused, “hey? why’d you leave is everything alright?” you nodded, looking down at your feet. “yeah. yeah everything’s fine don’t worry i just got tired.”
keys could easily tell you were lying, you had looked upset and you werent making eye contact, your hands were balled into fists and you impatiently tapped your feet. “no you arent y/n come on just talk to me-” you finally snapped. “im fine! can i go home now?” keys sighed. “im coming to your apartment and we’re gonna talk about this okay?”
you let out a groan and kept walking back to your apartment, keys silently walking next to you, trying to figure out what he would say. you walked into your apartment building and got into the elevator, still not saying a word to each-other. you could feel his eyes burning into the side of your head, suddenly feeling nervous under his stare.
it stayed silent as you two walked in, you put your bag away and keys leaned against the back of your couch, watching your movements. you looked at keys and rolled your eyes. “what keys?” he sighed. “you’ve been acting weird for a few days.. i just wanna know whats going on.”
“nothings wrong just drop it already.” he grabbed your arm as you were about to grab the tv remote. “come on. please just talk to me.” you finally snapped. “its you keys! you’re the problem! god i cant stand you and millie together because im fucking in love with you and i cant stand watching you two together!” his grip on your arm began to soften before it fully fell off.
he stood silent for a moment, the words that came out of your mouth finally registering in your brain. your eyes widened and you quickly backed away from him, a large ache in your chest. you both stood quietly on opposite sides of the room, you were right by the door of your bedroom and keys was still by the couch. you moved to walk in your room but he quickly spoke up.
“youre in love with me?” tears filled your eyes, that suffocating feeling in your chest growing and growing. he walked up to you and cupped your cheek in his hand, wiping away the tears that managed to slip from your eyes. “hey hey please don’t cry. c-come on look at me please.” he gently gripped your chin and made you look at him, his face softening even more as he saw the pool of tears gathering.
“i love you too okay? i always have.” you shook your head, the tears freely falling out of your eyes. “keys don’t lie to me don’t say things like that please stop” you looked down at the ground and you felt his hand on your chin again quickly lifting your head up and kissing you. he felt your stiffed figure slowly melt as he wrapped an arm around your waist pulling you closer.
your lips fit together like perfect puzzle pieces, you both kissed for about a minute before pulling away, looking up at keys with wide eyes. he softly smiled and kissed your forehead mumbling quietly. you looked up at him confused and he softly smiled. “i asked if you believed me now.”

Free Guy (2021)
Tumblr media
Diretor: Shawn Levy
Roteiro: Matt Lieberman e Zak Penn
Quando se fala de filmes de video games eu geralmente torço o nariz, porque parece que Hollywood não joga nada e faz apenas para ganhar dinheiro com coitados que os jogam. Mas eu assisto mesmo assim, porque a graça de ver filmes toscos é que mesmo ruins, a gente se diverte para caramba com as coisas ridículas. Eu comecei a ver Free Guy exatamente por isso, para ter a sensação de que eu poderia estar vendo um filme ruim, que era tão ruim que era bom. Eu estava errada.
Free Guy começa como um filme engraçado, com todos aqueles exageros e maluquices aleatórias que a gente ama quando está jogando, até bugs eles mostram para deixar a imersão perfeita. É basicamente uma história sobre um "personagem não jogável" chamado Guy (que não por conhecidência significa "cara" em inglês) que mora numa cidade em um jogo chamado "Free City". Esse jogo é basicamente um "GTA V" com uma leve mistura com "Free Fire" em que o jogador entra online, tem suas missões, mas tem toda liberdade para causar o caos que a gente tanto ama. Eu mesma só entro online no "GTA V" para causar aquele caos básico e matar todo mundo, inclusive os NPCs, e sinceramente, eu nem sei para que servem as missões se eu tô alí para causar anarquia, discórdia, correr da polícia e "brincar" com as prostitutas.
Em algum momento na sua vida de acordar, ir ao banco trabalhar, conversar com seu melhor amigo e ser refém nos assaltos à banco de todos os dias, Guy vê uma jogadora ativa e sente que ela é o amor da sua vida. A partir daí ele rouba um óculos de um jogador, que é o que diferencia os ativos dos NPCs, e então enxerga seu mundo da forma que os jogadores enxergam e vai procurar a sua nova amada, porque já que ele tem um óculos, ela vai prestar atenção e falar com ele. Mais para frente, descobrimos que essa jogadora é uma das programadoras do código e que nesse código tem uma inteligência artificial e que o Guy acordou e aprendeu assim como alguns outros personagens.
Apesar do roteiro parecer super simples, Free Guy tenta debater um fenômeno que acontece de tempos em tempos no capitalismo do mundo todo e que está acontecendo nos Estados Unidos agora: O despertar da exploração do trabalhador. Dentro do jogo, nós temos uma pessoa que está despertando do sono profundo de fazer o que foi programado à fazer todos os dias sem questionar. No mundo real, acontece a mesma coisa, os programadores da empresa são pressionados pelo chefe mais do que deveriam, o código do jogo é roubado pela corporação bilionária e quem ganha os créditos e o dinheiro é exatamente o chefe. Nos últimos tempos, esse debate sobre exploração do trabalhador está cada vez mais forte e ele é importante para que não só saibamos nossos direitos, mas também para buscarmos conquistar novos e só conseguimos isso juntos, como comunidade.
Guy representa o trabalhador cansado de fazer o que foi programado, que surta quando descobre como o sistema funciona e que quebra quando a realidade bate. Millie, a programadora que quer processar o dono da empresa que roubou seu trabalho, se transforma na Garota Molotov no game, que representa com seu nome uma revolução, uma resistência sobre esse sistema. "Free Guy" não é só um filme que critica todo esse sistema capitalista que escraviza os trabalhadores, ele é um convite para que as pessoas levantem, se organizem e lutem. Quem sabe uma greve geral em que mostramos aos que estão no topo que eles não vivem sem a gente?
Esse filme é um pedido de socorro a tudo de ruim que o sistema capitalista representa. É um Matrix atual, com uma linguagem atual e não tão complexa (e sem a metáfora sobre a vida de pessoas trans). "Free Guy" é um grito de resistência e implora para que você ouça e se junte pela mudança. E na minha visão, ele mostra bem o que a transformação do "eu" em "nós" pode fazer a diferença, afinal, seres humanos são seres sociáveis, Nós nascemos para viver em comunidade e ultimamente as pessoas estão cada vez mais individualistas. Quem você quer ser nesse mundo? Um NPC com a vida programada ou um jogador ativo que escreve sua própria história?

Watching Free Guy again (it's good, sue me) and I am once again having brainrot over the barista,the big city gal, and the bombshell character. They have a Dynamic, and it's so honest and wholesome, and I love these three background Character's So Much. Like, theres something so captivating about these three women forging a bond and turning to eachother in moments of fear and elation. Just- them 🥺

What really gets me about the sentiment "Don't look away" is that its always used in the wrong context. People may be well meaning, but what they end up doing is flooding the conversation with zionist carnage in a manner not unlike the way zionists *want* their atrocities to be seen.
Rather than thinking, "I must traumatize myself with this image for Palestine," try, "I will not turn my back on the people of Palestine." Watching them die is not enough. Speaking only of their suffering is not enough.
Don't look away when Palestinians resist. Don't condemn them when they fight for their lives and land. Speak for their rights to live and move freely in their own homeland. Do not look away from their life. Palestinians are here, they remain, and they will remain, and they are in the future, and they will live free and happy lives just as anyone else should be able to.
"Don't look away" should not be a call to engage in real life atrocities like its a horror movie. "Don't look away" should be a call to make Palestine the focus of everything. Don't let people FORGET or IGNORE what is happening. You can talk about what is happening without sharing the same ghoulish photos that zionists love.

🇵🇸 From Friend of Al-Aqsa (FOA):
What exactly is Coca Cola’s role in Israel's occupation? Coca-Cola has a factory in Atarot, an illegal Israeli settlement built on stolen Palestinian land. Palestinian communities are forcibly removed for illegal Israeli settlements like this to be built. These settlements are illegal under international law. By having an Israeli franchise in the illegal Israeli settlement of Atarot, Coca-Cola is ignoring international law and profiting from the illegal occupation. There are currently up to 750,000 Israeli settlers living in at least 250 illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank and East Jeruasalem. By drinking Coca-Cola, we as consumers are turning a blind eye to the illegal occupation of Palestine. In 2022 American food company General Mills announced it was divesting from Atarot as a direct result of pressure from human rights groups, activists and others. Let's keep up the pressure on Coca-Cola to stop operating in Atarot! Join our call to #BoycottCocaCola until it stops operating in Atarot illegal Israeli settlement. Make a pledge to boycott Coca-Cola until it stops operating on stolen Palestinian land.
For more info, check out FOA's webpage.
If you're in the UK, they have several upcoming campaign and events you can participate in.
