Unexpected (Audrey Jensen | MTV’s Scream)

Summary — A movie night with a friend takes an unexpected turn.

Warnings & Other Tags ➳ Posting this a month late, but I don’t really care; fluffy friends to lovers.

Notes ➳ ‘Can’t Stop the Love’ Event (12/14) ➳ Word Count is 295. ➳ Reader uses feminine pronouns (she/her). ➳ This idea came from this prompt list.

Feeling yet another piece of popcorn hit your cheek, you turned to glare at Audrey. All you received in return, however, was a view of her smirking profile. Before she could do anything to stop you, your hand reached into the bowl between the two of you, grabbed a handful of popcorn, and threw it in her direction.

“Okay!” she exclaimed, finally turning to look at you. “I’ve never thrown that much at you!”

“Yeah, whatever,” you chuckled.

Audrey’s gaze remained on you as you looked away. Your focus returned to the movie on your television. It was some old horror movie that only Noah seemed to know about, but he had finally convinced the two of you to watch it. In your head, he was anxious waiting in his bedroom, phone in hand, for an official movie review.

“You still seeing what’s-her-face?” asked Audrey, after a few seconds of silence.

You smiled in amusement, knowing who she was referring to. Recently, you had gone on a few dates with a girl from one of your classes, but it didn’t pan out to anything special.

“No,” you muttered. “She’s nice, but probably a better friend than girlfriend, I think.”

Audrey hummed. The satisfied tone of it, however, made you raise your eyebrows, “Wanna elaborate on that hum?”

“Oh,” shrugged Audrey, “it’s nothing.”

You huffed, then muttered, “Doesn’t seem like it. Jealous?”

“And what if I am?”

You paused, unsure of how to respond. However, you couldn’t stop a small smile from growing on your face.

“You’re cute when you’re shy. Have you always had a crush on me?”

You shook your head at her. You didn’t even need to look at her to know Audrey had a wide smirk on her face.

“Shut up, Audrey.”

Turns out Kieran was playing the long game for a threesome.

Now, lemme ramble a little bit.

I wasn't born in the 1990s, but its cultural impact remains. I'm here to talk about the music and cultural impact, in particular, because many would argue that it was the golden era. I got my glimpse through TV shows and music videos. 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' was on heavy rotation in my household, as were Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.

That was my introduction: my mom singing 'I Will Always Love You' while MTV music videos replayed in the background.

But the impact it has on pop culture today, 34 years after its emergence, is what really gets me. You can see its fingerprints all over contemporary music, fashion, and even internet memes. It's as if the '90s created a blueprint for coolness that refuses to fade away.

I can't imagine what hearing TLC's 'Creep' live right when it dropped would have been like, or being in the crowd when Kurt Cobain was scream-singing 'Smells Like Teen Spirit.'

It's that era that birthed groups and acts like Flo and Olivia Rodrigo.

You know, there's something about the rawness of '90s music that just hits different. It was a time when artists weren't afraid to push boundaries and speak their truth. Take Tupac Shakur, for example. His lyrics were like poetry, tackling issues like racism, poverty, and social injustice head-on. And then you had the Notorious B.I.G., spinning tales of street life with unmatched skill and charisma.

These were more than just songs; they were snapshots of life in the '90s, capturing the struggles and triumphs of a generation.

But it wasn't all serious stuff. The '90s also gave us some of the catchiest pop hits of all time. From the infectious beats of Spice Girls to the smooth grooves of Boyz II Men, there was something for everyone on the airwaves. And let's not forget about the rise of boy bands like *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys.

Ballads ruled the charts, with artists like Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Brian McKnight belting out love songs that still give us all the feels today. Whether you were nursing a broken heart or falling head over heels, there was a '90s jam for every romantic occasion.

Adele was kind of a product of that too.

Now, let's switch gears and talk about fashion. The '90s were all about self-expression, and nowhere was that more evident than in the clothes we wore. Grunge was king, with flannel shirts, ripped jeans, and Doc Martens becoming the unofficial uniform of rebellious youth everywhere. And let's not forget about the rise of streetwear, with brands like Tommy Hilfiger, FUBU, and Supreme making a splash on the scene.

But perhaps the most iconic fashion statement of the '90s was the rise of the supermodel. From Cindy Crawford to Naomi Campbell, these runway goddesses epitomised glamour and sophistication, setting the bar high for fashionistas everywhere.

So yeah, the '90s may be a thing of the past, but its influence? It still lives here.

This was a ramble by,

The PCR.

Imagine Eddie after the upside down, alive and somewhat traumatized. Not exactly able to share what happened, actually happened, in Hawkins. Except, Wayne just knows something is up, something more than what he’s been told. Now Wayne trusts Eddie, but he can also read him like an open book. You can’t exactly expect Wayne to believe what the government officials told him about his trailer, can you? Wayne seen glimpses of it, like a spore on the ceiling of his home, open and spreading like a sickness. He just knows something happened to Eddie, he knows it has to do with whatever that thing was.

So, Wayne keeps a close eye on Eddie, closer than he ever has. He picked up on how skittish and jumpy the boy has gotten, and the night terrors at 2 am. Wayne has tried numerous times to ask Ed’s what happened and has told him he will believe him. Eddie just gets all wide eyed and curls in on himself. It’s not until one evening, Wayne worked an odd shift for a friend and got home around supper time. He knows Eddie hasn’t been eating much, hardly at all, so he picks up some pizza for tonight in hopes Eddie might just eat with him.

Wayne steps inside the new double wide that the government issued to them, at no cost to Wayne. He keeps quiet, knowing Ed’s been dozing more often from the lack of sleep throughout the night. He sees Eddie curled up on the couch, the TV left on some music video on mtv. Wayne takes notice of a somewhat familiar band, big haired guys singing something about shouting at a devil? Wayne smirks a little, knowing Eddie has mentioned them in passing before, and he turns the volume down to a low hum. He places the pizza box on the coffee table before taking off to the kitchen, his keys making a clink as he drops them on the kitchen counter. He drags a hand down his face, sighing tiredly as he opens the fridge grabbing a couple cokes. Closing the fridge door, he grabs a couple paper plates and some napkins and heads back to the living room.

Eddie is now stretched out on the couch, still sleeping. Wayne feels bad for waking him, but he needs to get something in that kid’s stomach before he ends up starving himself. Wayne sits the things down on the table and then leans down to slightly shake Eddie awake. Eddie jumps a little before sitting up quicker than he intended to, he sighs out softly in relief seeing his uncle there. Wayne swallows his worry, as he smiles at Ed’s.

“Thought pizza sounded like a bright idea, since I worked an odd shift today. Figured you’d like it, nice change of pace.” Wayne grumbles out, smiling tightly at Eddie, hoping he doesn’t catch on to his worrying. Eddie looks over at him now sat in the recliner and gives him a subtle nod and a thanks. Wayne smiles but feels an ache in his chest, seeing Eddie so quiet and meek is deeply concerning for him. Wayne puts a couple slices of pizza on a plate and hands it to Eddie with a napkin and a coke. Eddie takes it, but can feel his stomach turn at the thought of food. He hides it behind a tight lipped smile and thanks Wayne quietly. Wayne picks up on it obviously and shakes his head ever so slightly as he fixes his own plate.

A few minutes go by quietly, Wayne sits there thinking before he sits his plate down and wipes his hands with a napkin. “You know, I was rushed away from the trailer when I got home that day, pigs were surrounding it and thought they could keep me out…” Wayne huffs out sighing a little as the memories flood back. Eddie risks a glance up at Wayne just to find him staring back, he’s got this sad smile etched on his lips and something breaks In Eddie.

“ Something inside me screamed that something had happened to you, and I pushed my way past them assholes. They tried hauling me away from the open door, but I fought and pushed at them screaming for you” Wayne speaks lowly, his eyes tearing up but an anger only a father could have was etched into those words. Eddie can feel the disdain Wayne held for them keeping him away from his home, knowing he was looking for him. Eddie swallows hard, trying to think of what to say, fearing Wayne will think he’s crazy because Eddie can’t keep lying about what actually happened. Before Eddie can even open his mouth, Wayne speaks up, “ Eddie I saw that spore like thing on the ceiling of the trailer, I seen the glow coming from it inside our home…I know something happened to you my boy, and I’m so so sorry I wasn’t there to protect you…” Wayne barely got the words out, tears falling down his cheeks matching Eddie’s. “ I knew after you ran off that something happened to you, you were scared, but I didn’t know if what until I seen that thing in the trailer…son I’m here for you, you know that?” Wayne all but whimpers out, the worry eating him alive.

Eddie loses it completely, a sob rakes through his chest, “ I-I was on the other side of it, we tried killing it, the monsters on the other side…these bat like things was trying to get in and I had to p-protect Dustin…I-I almost died W-Wayne.” He’s choking out the words, fumbling through them as tears spill faster. Wayne has a stone hard look set on his face but his eyes show such intense understanding that Eddie has to look down as he continues. “ We were the d-distraction, so the others could get h-him, that monster, V-Vecna, but he must’ve caught on, I tried leading them away, they would’ve tore us b-both apart. I ran out of the trailer, making noise to get them away, I fought as hard as I could b-but, I felt one of the tails wrap around my throat b-before I felt its t-teeth sink in, there were h-hundreds, after the one l-latched on the others f-followed….” Eddie is gasping slightly, he can feel his uncle’s hands overtop his own trembling ones. Eddie sucks in a deep breath before he continues, “ something c-called them back, I was starting to b-black out, I felt so cold and all the b-blood, I must’ve lost c-consciousness b-because next thing I know, H-Harringtons dragging me out through the portal and I-into our trailer then I blacked out again…” Eddies whole body is trembling now, his uncle takes Eddie in his arms holding him and trying his best to comfort him. Eddie starts up shakily “ I-it sounds crazy I k-know b-but…” he sputters before Wayne cuts him off, “ I believe you Ed’s, I’m so sorry my b-boy I’m so sorry…” Wayne’s in tears now holding onto Eddie. “Next thing I know I-I’m waking up in the hospital, Steve was asleep in the c-chair beside me, then you walked in, and you k-know the rest…” Eddie whispers out, as a slight feeling of relief blossoms in his chest. Wayne and Eddie sit there quietly, Eddie clings to Wayne fearing he will lose his only family he’s got left. Wayne pulls back slightly but holds him by the shoulders, “ I’m here son and I’m never letting you go, I’ve got you, you’re safe now” Wayne promises him, Eddie nods vehemently a shaky smile on his face.

A few hours later, they’re sitting together on the couch, tv still on a low hum as they talk some in between moments of silence. Eddie feels a bit better, relieved and happy to have Wayne there. “ you know, that Harrington boy never left that hospital…” Wayne mutters out, small smile on his face. Eddie feels his cheeks heat up a little at the thought, and he chuckles a little, “ o-oh? Yea?”.

Hi there, Jess here! Your redacted match game seemed really fun and i wanted to see who you’d pair me with! so here’s my junk! have fun!

-—-—-—-—-—-—

* Song - Taylor Swift’s Tolerate It specifically the lyric “Believe me, i could do it”

* Enneagram- I’m a type 2 but 4 was a very close runner up then 7 in 3rd place

* Video Essays- YES!! My favorite form of media. I don’t have a specific favorite, but I enjoy ones where they analyze the nature of people.

* Imaginary Friend- She was a girl about the size of Thumbelina. She had a pink T-shirt under a pair of overalls and flowers in her hair. I believed she lived in my jewelry box and I oftentimes went about my day with her sitting on my shoulder. Her name was Dorthy.

* Sleep Aids- I typically fall asleep with headphones in, listening to contemporary ASMR, role play ASMR, a tv show, or just some kinda background noise. I usually end up cuddling with my giant teddy bear that’s nearly the size of me

* Name Change- For a long time, i just went by my given middle name cause my given first name was crap. I chose Jess because it was cool and close enough to my first name that my family wouldn’t freak. (Little do they know it’s short for Jester)

* Favorite Redacted Audio- “Going all the way with your vampire mate” the emotional vulnerability always just brings so many tears to my eyes. that audio is what really convinced me to stick around the channel and check out other storylines.

* No appeal Redacted boy- sad to say there’s a few i don’t really care for that much. Regulus and Ivan specifically though. I also tried really hard to like the balance but never could.

* Favorite Media- I could probably quote the good place to you verbatim. It’s my favorite show and i cry every. single. time. without fail.

* Redacted Best Bud- I would KILL to be pals with Huxley. They seem like such a rad dude.

* Sleepy Ramble- Typically when i’m ready for bed i start rambling about anything and everything. and when i wake up i won’t remember it. most recently, my friend said i was talking about how good ice water is.

* Gas Station- Anytime i’m at a gas station, i get a white monster and an icee/slushee and pour the monster into it. it’s an abomination and i love it.

* favorite playlist- the playlist i made to scream and dance around my room to

* guilty pleasure media- old, bad MTV dating shows. they’re so crazy and stupid and give me something to laugh at.

* Fun Facts about Me- I’m 22 and work at the local cinema and it’s my favorite job ever. i play multiple instruments and music has become an integral part of my life. i’m an ex-theater kid. i keep every letter note and drawing someone gives to me in a box on my dresser. i like candles and nice smelling things in general. I’m a generally optimistic person, almost to a fault. I tend to have high hopes and subsequently get let down easily. I’m afraid of commitment and intimacy.

-—-—-—-—-—-—

I really hope that’s enough to analyze me and assign me a lover!!

take care of yourself, much love

-Jess

You are incredibly delightful and helpful! You gave me so much information to work with, so there is nary a doubt in my mind that you and Gavin would make an excellent match!

On a deeper, personal level, taking a Type two, typically characterized by that desire to be loved, who may be reluctant or afraid to fully be loved, and pairing you with Gavin works perfectly because that aligns with his mindset. You two would have a delightful slowburn of a romance, something that sparks and smolders until he confesses you are the sky to his stars (my favorite of his lines).

On a more minute level, I also think you two would work well because of the things you’d like; like, he would be so delighted by you. The thing about Gavin that’s adorable to me is how behind he is on some shows and movies, so I can just imagine his reactions when you show him old MTV shows like “Why are we snooping through these bedrooms? Who in god’s name is Tila Tequila???” He’d also get a kick out of visiting you at work and trying to get you to neck in the back of a theater with him on your break.

Song:

I always thought/ I wasn't the type/ To plummet/ Feel every cliché/ That low-budget movies rely on/ But I'm head over heels with butterflies in my stomach/ I feel fuzzy and warm/ And it's gross but I love it

I’m a sap and so, secretly, is Gavin. I don’t know if the tone really fits, because I personally can’t nail down what genres he likes, but the vibe works. I love ships that are not, like, “I didn’t know or understand love until you” but rather “I didn’t realize how easy and fun love could be until you”, you know? It’s also a really fun, energetic song, and I do think you and Gavin would be the type who’d have and be so much fun together once you settle into that love.

Runner-ups:

Guy is a fun runner-up for you, because I think he’d love all the media you like and would be really engaged in liking them with you. Also, he is definitely a theater kid, you can’t tell me otherwise, and theater couples are super cute. In contrast, I like Lasko for you because of that slow burn potential I mentioned. Gavin was a perfect combination of those two thought processes.

note: parental control was my favorite that shit was so weird tho lol

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. OCTOBER READS

The bad:

Mistletoe and Mishigas by MA Wardell - I know this is not a visual medium so just imagine me rubbing my eyes and sighing extremely heavily. (1000% on me because I sought out something I knew I'd hate because I needed to channel my anxious energy to something. Also doing these lil writeups has made me realize how often I read something specifically because I'm anxious. Humiliating but unfortunately for all of us, true.)

The fine:

Passing Strange by Ellen Klages - this was so average I almost forgot what it was about. Would have made a much better short story!

Iris Kelly Doesn't Date by Ashley Herring Blake - idk man. There's some stuff I loved in here and some stuff I didn't love but it's what I come to expect from romance novels which are (for me) average at best

Station Island by Seamus Heaney - king, this was not your fault, I am just too stupid to understand a lot of the historical and geographical references you made so it was hard for me to follow. It's me, not you!

The good:

Hyperboreal by Joan Naviyuk Kane - this was so beautiful and sparse and reminded me why I have always been so obsessed with the Arctic.

The Employees by Olga Ravn - strange and foreboding and told in a very interesting format!

Bliss Montage by Ling Ma - I like my short stories weird and emotional and she delivered. Could've been a little weirder but still very good!

The great:

Out There Screaming edited by Jordan Peele - There's a story in here about a girl who steals her (ex)boyfriend's actual heart out of his body so he'll love her again and I just think that's fantastic.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers - a reread that is honestly gonna be a forever favorite, though I do prefer the second one over this one!

Welcome to St. Hell by Lewis Hancox - I kept seeing this around and had zero interest in reading it until I saw an interview with the author saying a major source of his gender affirmation as a child was MTV's Jackass, at which point I checked to see if my library had it. Extremely funny and sweet.

The Solace of Open Spaces by Gretel Ehrlich - I identified a little too closely with the surly cowboys and sheepherders who went months without speaking to anyone which I don't know how to feel about.

The President and the Frog by Carolina de Robertis - speaking of weird and emotional!!!!! look I do not feel great about the state of politics in the world in general right now and like I know it's fiction but this was really moving and I found quieted some of the dread I've been feeling about current affairs specifically. Favorite author status atp

Currently: slowly working my way through Unfortunately, It Was Paradise by Mahmoud Darwish, Selected Poems and Prose of Paul Celan, and The Wind's Twelve Quarters by Urusla K. LeGuin and also just started I Am Not Sidney Poitier by Percival Everett

I fucking hate ‘teen bootcamps/wilderness treatment’.

Remember those shows on early MTV like ‘Brat Camp’ that literally gave people the viewing pleasure of watching supposed ‘spoiled brats’ (often actively struggling with addiction and mental health issues) struggle in the middle of the wilderness, as apparent ‘just desserts’ for what people see as bad adolescent behaviour? Where the kids basically just groan and moan, complain about the lack of first world luxeries, and then suddenly have a 180 and appreiciate their lives more?

Well thats TV. That’s NOT what happens at a lot of these camps. Want to know the reality?

Imagine you're only like 14-16 years old, you're struggling with mental health and possibly addiction issues. Without warning, in the middle of the night you're woken up my strangers, telling you can leave either the "easy way" or the "hard way". If you refuse to go with them, you are restrained, and a medical boot is strapped to your leg so you can't run.

Your parents, the ones who are supposed to protect you, do nothing but watch and tell you its for "the best", as these goons force you into a vehichle in the pitch black night, none of your belongings, and no goodbyes to friends or family.

Eventually, you're forced on to a plane, and spend the next hours disorientated and having not idea where you're going.

In the early hours of the morning, you arrive at a camp in buttfuck nowhere, you're stripped searched by the opposite gender, deliced, degrated, and given impersonalized clothing so you look like every other kid there. Your individuality is gone.

Soon you realize your 'counsellors' are barely older than you, have no training for mental health/addiction you and the others are dealing with, while they subject you to harsh punishment such as starvation, sleep deprivation, physically, mental, and sexual abuse. Treatment is often spending hours having your own peers degrade and cut you down in everyway possible, usually while being instructed to scream it in your face until you break down.

You are locked away in isolation rooms. Sent on hour long hikes with 50-80lbs backpacks and no access to water. You’re malnourished by this point, lacking food, water, and basic nutrience, and if you collapse, you get in trouble. If you collapse, they may decide you’re faking and leave you there for DEAD. It’s NOT uncommon, and by this point, you’ve probably already witnessed multiple people collapse, vomit, and convulse from exhaustion as the counsellors scream at them not to be lazy.

So now you want to call your parents and tell them they've made a big mistake right?

Well too bad! Your parents have already been told by the owners of the camp that you will lie and manipulate to get home, and that they are to NEVER believe you. All your phone calls are monitored, if you say something wrong, you may not be able to make another for MONTHS. Also during this, you've been forced to smile during photos of your dirtiest, most tragic, and deperate moments at the camp, on the brink of exhaustion and collapse, just so your parents keep sending money to keep you there.

When you come back?

You have no sense of who you are. Your life has been nothing but a cult environment for possibly years, some kids being moved from troubled teen treatment centres to other ones just as bad. You have no friends, your parents are strangers to you and you must grapple with the betrayal you feel, you're likely academically behind because these camps give ZERO fucks about education. Funnily enough, this 'treatment' has left you feeling more lost than you were before.

Here enters the nightsmares, flashbacks, severe PTSD, drug addiction to cope with all of the memories of abuse, and for a lot of kids, eventual suicide because they're unable to cope with the trauma they experienced.

Yeah, you've been brainwashed to find these shows entertainment. These kids deserve better.

okay but the way in which the public/fans fit into the fmo djats au is Super interesting to me. i can imagine alys and aemond both choosing not to go public with their relationship till the divorce is finalized out of consideration for reader, guilt and maybe just to take it slow and figure themselves out but then a few months down the line someone leaks out to the press photos of them kissing and acting all coupley (yknow those that feel like love literally seeps out of them, aemond cupping alys' face and looking down at her tenderly type beat) and all hell breaks lose. the general public is feeling very '?????' because up to this point everyone thought reader and aemond were still together/maybe just having a rough patch and she herself feels like her heart is breaking all over again because now she has to deal with it with eyes of the entire world on her. the band is forced to issue a statement (something along the lines of 'reader and aemond are separated and undergoing a divorce and alys and aemond are happily together and would like that people respected their privacy') and since the au takes place in the 90s/00s i could see a whole lot of misogynistc bullshit falling upon the girls, them being pit against each other, maybe a portion of the fans saying things like 'figures. a & a always looked way more suitable for each other' (not to say that reader doesn't have her own shooters being the it girl that she is, i would even say some people end up dropping the band because of the entire situation) and all of it taking a heavy toll on reader :( her feeling super conflicted, still being super pissed at both As but maybe a small part of her also feeling sorry for how alys' name is being dragged through the mud (the cheating Could have gone past only being emotional but didn't after all, she reasons)... aemond on the other hand, just like real life men from that time, probably gets out of it mostly unscathed public opinion-wise, that fucking bastard (i do like the idea of him getting thrown drinks at his head during some shows and having to hear people scream 'that's for reader' though)

also omg this universe's version of retrospective f&b verses being gossip magazine articles???👀

I love this!!! And it’s exactly how I think a story like fmo would be so interesting in a modern setting. Mainly bc the idea of an unreliable narrator never goes away. Not to sound fake deep or anything, but the rise of blogs and paparazzi and the shift in celebrity culture/social media is basically an unreliable narrator in of itself.

So as the band is taking off, I can imagine certain fans not liking reader. The fawn over Aemond, and daella by extension when people realize he has a kid guys I was watching old nirvana interviews and the ones with Francis bean are so :((.. not even caring daella is half of reader too. I can see people thinking that they wouldn’t be compatible. But the gag with them is that though their aesthetics may different but who do these fans think he was doing ecstasy with the night they got nominated for a mtv video award. Lmao jk.. but not really

as soon as alys enters the picture, it gets worse. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be married to a person, have their child but have the entire world telling your husband has more chemistry with a singer in his band. I’d turn into thanos. That’s basically what happens when alys joins the band. If this happened in the last five years, people would make fan edits of the two them. It would be bad for reader 😭

But we know how the general public flips on people 💀. So as soon as the divorce news leaks, people start to put the dots together. Now reader becomes the feted ex, the cherished mother done wrong. Now of course this narrative switch comes at the expense of alys. Who basically becomes the bad girl (slut shaming galore) who slept her way into the group and broke up a family. Aemond, like you said, comes out relatively unscathed. I think reader would feel bad if alys was getting dragged through the mud but she’d also be like 🤷🏽‍♀️ y’all made your bed..

He’s probably be one of those musicians that people look back on and are like “… hmm was he like… that” lmao
