HQ!! guys reacting to when your groom leaves you at the altar
It has been a wild year for married people. I can’t get over the whole Ned Fulmer scandal lol, I remember being 15 (I miss being fifteen T.T) and watching the Try Guys while they were still in Buzzfood. Gosh.
 
Speechless. Utterly speechless. You were fine as hell, you were sweet and loyal and funny, and you tried your best to like the things that bastard liked. How could he--how could anyone not want to marry you? But when he sees the first sign of tears, he is quick to act, putting his jacket over your shoulders and ushers you away from the judging, piercing gaze of your guests. 
“Come on. After you’re done crying we’ll go kick the son of a bitch,” he jokes, trying his best to lighten the mood. Alternatively, he’ll silently let you cry, deciding that you don’t need him messing with your state. 
OIKAWA, tendou, tsukishima, semi, hanamaki, MATSUKAWA, SUNA, sakusa, kageyama, ushijima, kenma
When the news reaches your ears, you freeze. Everyone else does, too. Everyone except him. He moves faster than he feels–he was already by your side before any of your family or other friends could even think to comfort you. Seeing you break down, having you sob into his chest made every part of him ache. He hated seeing you upset. He was mad and shocked at the man’s betrayal, but he didn’t let these emotions show, not right now, not when you needed him to be at his steadiest.
“Sh… it’s okay, you’re okay. Just breathe for me, okay?” He whispers, cradling you between his arms, ignoring the guilt of mild relief he felt in knowing that you wouldn’t be tied to that man.
AKAASHI, KITA, bokuto, osamu, hinata, yamaguchi, lev, ASAHI, sugawara, kuroo
You caught your groom leaving the hotel restroom with one of his colleagues, disheveled and panting. And perhaps worst of all, you three weren’t alone. You had your parents and closest friends with you. Silence fell down the hall while everybody stared at you in silent anticipation. You were…you didn’t say anything. You were stuck in quiet, muffled surprise. He was shocked too, but then he saw it, the faintest quiver of your jaw and he saw red. He was furious–why shouldn’t he be? You were everything anyone would ever need and want, and you deserved to be happy and loved. So how dare that cretin do this to you? Next thing he knew, he was lunging at your now ex-lover. 
“You sunova–how could you do this? How could you–!” He only stops himself from beating your fiance into a pulp when you wrap your arms around him, pleading him to stop. 
IWAIZUMI, daichi, atsumu, nishinoya
Just a side note: I wrote this mainly because of Iwaizumi. Other side note: have you ever seen athletic trainer Iwaizumi (27)? I'd give up my life for just one night with that man.

hi rhi! just checking in bc i had an epiphany (maybe??) about oikawa, after thinking about the ned fulmer cheating on his wife thing for arguably longer than i should. hear me out though, because this might get long and ramble-y (and frankly might not even have a point to it </3)
i like to think that ned fulmer liked the idea of a wife much more than he liked ariel. he’d constantly mention her in his videos but only as “my wife”, not “ariel”, despite the fact that everyone knew who ariel was. she was also a public figure and it was no secret who she was married to as well. this isn’t to say ned didn’t love ariel, that’s between them, but i will never not find this “wife life” psychology interesting. i really need to contemplate majoring in some form of human studies at this point.
as for oikawa in near all of your fics with him, it’s pretty easy to say he is infatuated with the idea of a wife too. in some form or another he wants permanence with the reader and his “relationship”, whether that’s marriage or marking her as his in some way, shape, or form. this information isn’t new, of course, but the contrast between oikawa and ned are so unnecessarily interesting to me bc they’re both in love with the idea of a wife- and both only really refer to their relationships as how they are (yes i know thats probably for reader not having a true name in fic sense but i like to think he would still refer to reader as his wife regardless). the only major difference is that oikawa only has eyes for one wife in his fantasy. reader.
it’s obvious to us that oikawa wants a family. wants to “settle down” and whatnot. but because of the parallels between his infatuation with the wife life and reader, reader is unfortunately roped into his obsession, and therefore now the only one oikawa has eyes for.
ned fulmer is (i assume) mentally healthy, unlike oikawa (and every single character in your fics, love it though), and doesn’t become unhealthily obsessed like the way oikawa does. he doesn’t have a true person he admires to associate with his love for the wife life, so the philosophy outweighs the love he has or thinks he has for his family.
oikawa, in that sense, is different. he of course wants a family first, and has always been infatuated with that idea from what i can assume from your writing. but because he falls hard for whatever he may see in reader too, he has a face associated with the wife life. he doesn’t necessarily call reader by name, only whittling her down into being his wife, and in that case objectifying/dehumanizing her, but i feel like we already know he does that based off the fact that he is willing to chain her up and break her legs rather than let her do something that goes against what he wants, aka the perfect wife.
i’m aware this doesn’t have a true point to it that we didn’t already know, but compared to the ned fulmer situation i find it so interesting. ALSO to justify this whole rant being called an epiphany i will say that this was more of an epiphany bc all of this was more subconscious maybe(?? please let me have this its like 4 in the morning and i’m not entirely cohesive, obviously)
anyway, i love your fics rhi, and i’ve been binging any and all oikawa fics despite the fact that i can hardly recall the titles (IM SORRY) to bring in specific instances </3
- ps idk if the emoji anon thing is still a thing but i’d love to stake my claim on 💍 or 🧣 anon if they’re available </3
okay, so i can't really talk about the whole ned fulmer thing because tbh i had no idea who the man was or what the hell the try guys were until suddenly everyone was talking about it. at one point i genuinely thought people were trying to gaslight me into believing that everyone knew because... sounded fake, but okay ghfjdkjhgfjdk
what i will say is that for some of the characters i write, marriage is meaningless. some would entertain if it was something the reader wanted (which, again considering 95% of my readers are firmly in the 'i hate you' camp.... doubtful), but you're just as much theirs with or without some stupid piece of paper saying so. and i would probably say the same thing in regards to wanting kids, for every character who wants to breed like bunnies, there's another who has zero desire in sharing the reader with little snot nosed gremlins any time soon.
oikawa sees marriage and motherhood as ties more than anything else. he (in the fics he's married ofc) continually calls attention to that bond to remind her that she's stuck with him. bound to him. it's a reminder that he won, she's not getting away, and he wants that reminder to sink in deep. she's his. it's both a victory flag and a blow to the reader's defiance in one. a term of 'endearment'.
which isn't to say that he doesn't want a family, he absolutely does, but he also loves coming out on top. it's not so much that he wants the reader because he wants a wife/mother to his kids, more that because he's obsessively gone off the deep end with the reader, he wants everything with her.

This is going to sound really mean and I'm sorry if this comes off as really harsh, but I honestly don't care about Ned Fulmer cheating on his wife. Obviously I feel bad for Ariel and their kids, it sucks to be cheated on, but it shouldn't be making news and shit. It really shows how toxic parasocial relationships are.
At the end of the day, this cheating thing isn't really hurting anyone but the people involved but a lot of people are acting like they were personally wronged. I get feeling upset if someone you looked up did something wrong but the way people are making videos about it and being like "omg I'm so shocked and hurt. How could he do this?!" as if you knew Ned personally and personally wronged by him. And I'm going to be real with y'all, I've had the same issue before with people like Jenna Marbles and a bunch of others. I realized how toxic that was and took a step back because it's unfair to put someone on a pedestal, put high expectations on them and expect them to do no wrongs. It's part of the reason why Jenna Marbles left the internet
Again, I want to say I feel awful for Ariel. I've been cheated on before and it hurts like hell. But I think the people who are feeling hurt over something that doesn't really involve them need to take a step back and evaluate how they see celebrities and influencers. parasocial relationships are so toxic and only end in hurt for everyone involved.

What's your favourite thing about each of the Try Guys? :)
hoo boy, this is gonna get long.
my favorite thing about Ned is his unfragile masculinity; that he is easily is the most traditionally masculine of the guys, but is so comfortable in his own skin that he can dress up in women’s underwear and wear boob weights and wrestle naked with other men and and constantly tell everyone how much he loves and adores his wife and how she is the light of his life that he looks forward to spending time with whenever they are apart, and he can do it all without a hint of worry at being perceived as ‘gay’ or ‘womanly’ or ‘weak,’ because he knows that none of those things have any impact on his identity as a man. his security in his masculinity allows him to step outside of his comfort zone to test himself and to try and expand his mind so as to better understand the world and the people around him. if all straight men were as secure as Ned Fulmer… well, we might not solve all the world’s problems, but we’d solve a lot.
my favorite thing about Keith is just his vibes. there’s this great face he makes in the ending card of their new videos that is just so emblematic of who he is and what he brings to the group; just a big, bright burst of happiness and joy and humor. some of my favorite little moments are when Keith cracks up at something he is in the middle of saying. normally, it’s a little annoying when people laugh at themselves, but it works with Keith because you can tell he’s trying not to laugh. like he knows the joke would be funnier to the audience if he didn’t laugh, but he can’t help himself because he thinks it’s just that funny. and it is. so instead of loving and laughing at the joke, you just wind up loving and laughing with Keith, because his laugh is infectious. he’s just a great presence, and it’s no wonder to me why all the other guys kind of like him the best; he’s just that guy. 
my favorite thing about Zach is his duality; this almost jekyll-and-hyde quality where half the time he is an awkward jewish boy with a fragile old man body who is well aware of and honest about his shortcomings, but the other half, he is a balls-out gangster fronting a unique and amazing mixture of swagger and braggadocio, or Swaggadocio™, as if he is the biggest baller in the room and possibly the world. he reminds me of a tiny dog that barks really loudly and goes super aggro on everything despite being able to be swallowed by most things in one bite. most of the time he is very sweet and self-deprecating, but when it comes time to compete, he’s got this persona he can don like a set of armor, using bluster to pump himself up and mask his insecurities and inadequacies. and the hilarious thing is, he kind of sells it. he commits to this persona, and the result is this amazing juxtaposition of this very articulate and well-spoken jewish white boy from New York suddenly talking and walking like a lifelong gangster who knows he is the baddest man in this or any other room. this not only lets Zach be hilarious and over-the-top at game time, but it also has the nice side effect of making the audience okay with him losing (which, let’s be real, he does quite often). why? because audiences generally enjoy seeing unearned hubris being punished. and you can tell he knows this, because he tends to stick to this persona when he loses, but on the rare occasion where he wins, he usually drops it in favor of just being really happy. and i think it’s very nice of Zach to help us be okay with him getting his ass kicked.
my favorite thing about Eugene is… good lord, i barely know where to begin. i love how layered he is, i love how every time i think i have him figured out, he peels back the curtain to reveal something new and amazing. he’s such a complex and interesting person and it’s been amazing to watch him evolve and reveal more of himself over time. i think that might be my favorite thing about eugene; his gradual unfurling. you can tell at the beginning that he was very guarded in a lot of ways. which, to be honest; i feel him. as an LGBT+ growing up in the Deep South, you learn to build walls. you build them high and you build them thick, and you don’t let just anyone inside because letting the wrong person in could mean not just humiliation or ostracization; it could mean the end of your life. and the unfortunate thing about well-constructed walls is that they are not easy to take down. but Eugene’s walls are, however slowly, coming down, and it’s wonderful to watch. over the course of the try guys videos, you see him start to open up more and more, being more openly emotional (and happier in general), more willing to admit attachment and friendship, more comfortable just kind of being Eugene, and the more we see of Eugene, the more i love him.
so yeah, that’s my favorite thing about each of them individually.
but wait! there’s more!
see, i don’t just love them individually. i love the Try Guys as a whole, and what they represent. their story is kind of amazing; they were co-workers at Buzzfeed who were thrown together into a group purely by virtue of being the four people most willing to try weird and potentially embarrassing things. that willingness bonded them together, leading to more videos, taking them from a funny group of weirdos doing weird stuff to one of Buzzfeeds most recognizable brands, and in the process taking them from co-workers to friends to best friends. their videos got hundreds of millions of views, they partnered with bigger shows and got name brand sponsors, they appeared in magazines and on the Today show, they got their own show on YouTube Red, and their videos went from things like ‘trying on ladies underwear’ to ‘trying dog sledding on high-altitude glaciers in Alaska.’
and then Eugene left Buzzfeed.
for those who don’t already know; Eugene left Buzzfeed in February, two months before the other guys. i don’t know why he left, but whatever the reason, it was important enough to him that he chose to leave without really having much of a safety net. so for two months, the whole Try Guys thing was kind of in limbo. nobody really knew what was going to happen, if they were going to replace Eugene or if the whole thing was just going to stop.
then, in April, the other guys followed Eugene out the door, and the four of them started their own company.
that’s so huge. think about it; they had the choice between a billion dollar media company and their friend, and they chose their friend. you know Buzzfeed wanted to keep them, and was probably dangling all sorts of goodies in front of them to try and get them to stay. but it didn’t work. they decided that there was no Try Guys without Eugene, that his presence in their lives and as part of their group was more important than their financial security. i’m sure they all had their own reasons for leaving, but when you really boil it down; these are four guys from different parts of the country, with different personalities and vastly different backgrounds, who came to love and appreciate and respect each other so much that they decided to bet their careers, their futures, and their livelihoods on each other and what they’ve built together. think about that. think about it for Ned in particular, a brand new father, who believes in his friends so much that he is trusting them with his infant son’s future.
the whole thing just gives me... feelings. what kind of feelings? well, over the course of writing this post, i actually went and joined their Patreon. i created an account just so i could support these guys because that’s how much i want them to succeed. what started as a group of silly guys doing embarrassing things has blossomed into a truly moving testament to friendship and the value of trying new experiences. i love the message they send with their videos, because my favorite thing about the Try Guys as a whole is that they’re almost never sorry they tried something. no matter how silly or strange, no matter how bad they wind up being at it or how others might look at them because of it, they are always willing to try new things and they always take something of value away from the experience. their videos tell people “try stuff! it’s okay! it’s fun! it doesn’t matter if you’re bad, it doesn’t matter if you look silly, trying new stuff is fun, and it can make you a better person!”
in conclusion, i love four (4) boys and i just want the best for them.

Characters/Pairings: Keith/Shane, Ned, Ryan and Jen. Rating: G Warnings: None. Word Count: ~  1,643 Summary: Keith kinda, more or less, maaaybe has a crush on the new intern he and Henry have taken under their wing. A/N: LATE BUT here’s m first entry for the RareShaneWeek hosted by @rarebuzzships! I’ll try to not be too late tomorrow. Thanks for this chance, @poiregourmande! ~ Also, this is not beta’ed, I’m VERY sorry about it.
Untitled #2
“Gosh...” Ned murmured, his hand moved to his cheek to give emphasis to his expression. “He’s adorable, isn't he?”
Keith looked at his friend for a second, then back at the screen where the phootage he had been working on almost all week was frozen on the image of one sleepy and shy looking Shane Madej. 
He blinked a couple of times, a small smile following his thoughts as he remembered Shane following behind him while Henry told him what he needed to record for the video. The man had looked a bit lost when Henry chose him to go with them, but had nodded with enthusiasm once the small shock was gone.
“He’s a good little helper.” Keith said, Ned giggled at his side like if he knew some secret. “What?”
“Cut the crap, I know why you and Henry chose him to help.” The man answered, standing with his cup and Keith’s. “I’m straight but not stupid.”
“Okay,” Keith smiled, signaling him with a big smile. “That’s an argument, we should bring Ashly and Eugene in here, and decide!”
“Unfair!” He announced, walking away from Keith’s desk, probably into the office’s kitchenette.
Keith sighed, looking back at his work and starting to video again. He had been at this all morning, mostly bored than stuck with the same phootage, there was something not working out in this.
In the video, he asked Shane to have some of what they had been eating with the driver in turn. The man looks up at him and, for one second, his cheeks turn pink. It’s perfectly fine, but it’s also so cute. Would Henry mind if he left it? Probably nobody else would realize anyway, so...
Why he wanted it in, Keith wasn’t sure.
“Here.” He heard a different voice at his side and his cup appeared with coffee at his side. “Fulmer said you he had something to do, so he asked me to bring you this.”
Looking up, Cute Intern Of The Month stood in all his happy awkwardness. Keith smiled at him and the title Zach had given him and many other interns before, but for the first time, it just happened to be true.
Shane looked back, waiting for him to say anything else. His hair had been getting longer, looking softer than ever while his beard still looked like if God herself had decided to put it in there. Nice.
“Thanks, buddy.” Keith answered at least, patting the seat at his side. “Here, come on-- I’m suffering with this.”
“What is it?” 
The man sat down, moving the chair closer to Keith and the screen. 
“Oh, it’s what we filmed the other day, right?” He said, Keith only nodded. “Is there a problem with the phootage?”
The way he sounded concerned made his heart hurt a little. Keith remembered when he had been an intern, having moved from the place he grow up in and called home, unsure and wanting to do his best. It was no different for this guy, so he shook his head and explained himself.
Shane listened, suggesting the standard procedure for when you are blocked at work. Normally, that would be enough and it would help just perfectly. But these were special circumstances, he had said after asking Shane to have lunch with him. The man said yes, it was special circumstanes indeed.
He’s adorable!, Ned wasn’t wrong. He had also not been wrong when he guessed why Henry had incisted in having Shane with them, and why Keith had accepted the second he saw the guy enter the room and smile at them.
The problem with the video is that they have a lot of Shane in it. His takes are good, the guy made sure to film him and Henry exactly how they had thought him, and he had a good eye for little moments that could be transformed into something more with good editing.
But they had-- they had filmed so much of him, too. And Keith wanted to keep it all in the video. The guy gave it something else that was lacking in everything they showed before. He looked at the camera like if he knew everyone wanted to see him and it made him shy, his cheeks turned pink and red with every smile and when the attention was focused on him.
Yeah, Ned was right. Adorable.
“What you could do is delete some of the takes of us, use more of the food phootage” The man suggested, Keith looked at him for a moment.
Even his profile was nice. He had a unique nose and a good jaw, his kips were small and tin but-- Jesus. Pink. Looked soft. And he was acting like a highschooler all over again, fanning over the new boy in class. Fuck.
“Sure, I guess.” He said, sighing. He could feel Shane’s eyes on him for a few seconds, then the man went back to his food. Keith knew perfectly what he needed to take off, but-- “You wouldn’t mind not appearing much in the video, right?”
Shane shook his head, a frown between his eyebrows. “No. Why?” 
“Uh, nothing. You are still getting credited, though.”
He smiled again. And oh yeah, whatever. So he had a crush on an intern. Big deal.
This is Henry. And this is me, Keith. And over here, the beautiful Shane.
“Gosh.” Jen laughed on Ryan’s shoulder, the man had stopped the video to let them laugh and Shane felt his ears warmth at the scene in front of him. “He is sooooo crushing on you!”
Shane closed his eyes, trying not to think of happy eyes and loud laughs. His hands covered his face and he muffled a frustrated scream in them, his new friends laughing their asses off in Ryan’s desk.
“Oh boy, at least he’s nice about it and not asking you to do shit for him.” Ryan said. “I once had this boss while in--”
His friend’s conversation was lost to him as Shane sighed and tried to think straight. Not like if that has ever prevent him from liking dick, but he didn’t need yet another frustration while getting used to his job. Man, he wanted to stay here.
People were great, things were going better than how fucking shitty everything had been back home. This was the start he had hoped, but...
“Oh shit.” Ryan said in front of him. “Are you okay, dude?”
Shane looked up, swallowing while trying to smile. When it didn’t came, Ryan did for him and moved his head to one side. 
“Look, we love fucking with you, but I’m sure it will be fine.”
“No, I know.” Shane said, licking his lips before realizing Jen had went back to her own desk. Shane blinked a couple of times. “It’s just, like...” He swallowed. “I, I don’t know.”
Ryan watched his for what felt like a long time, crossing his arms over the table and putting his head there, looking up at him. If he was searching for something, Shane wondered what could it be. Did he had said something too weird? To risky? Uh--
“So you like him, too.” Ryan smiled the same way Scott would back home.
A shiver went up Shane’s back and he just-- “N-no, what make you think that?”
“You just blushed!” Ryan said, “Look,” Ryan sat down straight again, he had that older brother look on him again and it made Shane frown. “It’s gonna be fine. You have nothing to worry about because, let’s be honest, Keith’s a good guy... and so are you, so--”
“So?”
“So, just chill.” Ryan shrugged. “Nothing is happening anyway. Do you have any idea how many crushes I have had? And nothing ever has to happen.” 
He kinda had a point, but, “I’m not sure if I can be comfortable like this.”
“Oh, you can.” Ryan assured. “You were okay until we told you this.” The man finished, sounding smooth and satisfied with himself.
Shane glared at him before sighing and trying to get back to the last bits he needed to edit of Henry and Keith’s video, even when he had Keith’s intro in the back of his head, repeating over and over, “beautiful Shane”.
Jesus fuck. He needed to chil--
“Shane!” 
He looked up, heart beating faster as he found Keith at his side, the happiest of the smiles on his face.
“It’s lunch time, have you eat anything yet?”
“Uh,” He looked at Ryan from the corner of his eyes, the man was drawing a heart in the air and holy shit-- Shane was so gonna kill him. “I mean-- sure. I haven’t finishe yet, but--”
“Aaah, leave it!” He shrugged. “You can do it after lunch, come on. Come onnn, there’s a place I wanna show you!”
“Well-- okay.”
Lunch has never hurt anbody, so why not? Shane smiled at the man, slightly jumping when he gasped and put his hands on his cheeks, cradling his face while looking at him.
“Look at you, all smiley!” He said, his thumbs caressed his bearded cheeks and oh. Oh. “Never stop smiling, buddy. It’s your best look.”
Keith liked him. Jen and Ryan were right. 
“Oh,” Shane moved his head, his left cheek leaning against Keith’s hand, and he smiled again. “I’ll try to keep it going, sir.”
Ran snorted on his coffee, but all Shane could concentrate now was Keith’s surprised face. It was just an unspoken thing their eyes concluded in the seconds it took him to take his hands away slowly and Shane to relax completely.
He wonered if the change was too much, if he’d like him even like this. Shane just couldn’t help him.
“Spicey guy.” Keith laughed, putting a hand on Shane’s shoulder. “I like that! Let’s go.”
So they went.

Why We Started Our Own Company
Ned: “this is the story of HOW we left buzzfeed.”
they set up a studio in Ned’s old bedroom and Zach is curious of where Wes was made
Zach: “if you’re watching this, that means we did it.”
you can genuinely see how worried and fearful they are to launch this new channel and company
Ned bought and renovated a new house, had a baby, and launched a company all within the same month. do not fuck with him.
Eugene: “Ned decided he just wanted to dump a hurricane on his life.”
58 DAYS TIL LAUNCH
everyone contributed 25% into this company
Zach: “small business owner, motherfucker.”
Zach is playing fortnite in the bank. a 12 year old.
Ned loves spreadsheets
Keith posing next to the Try Guys cardboard cutouts while Eugene explains their new patreon
53 DAYS TIL LAUNCH
they (finally) quit their jobs
Zach: “when we actually pulled the trigger, a whole bunch of bullshit came our way.”
they felt unprepared with what little equipment they had, but you literally could not tell in their baby shower video
and then ... BABY FULMER COMES ... 3 1/2 weeks early
and 2 days later Eugene flies to Texas to shoot for a movie (can’t wait to watch it only for Eugene) ... leaving the company in Keith and Zach’s hopefully capable hands
I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE INDEPENDENT PROJECTS FROM ALL 4 TRY GUYS
43 DAYS UNTIL LAUNCH
Zach is stacking furniture to make a standing desk
Keith and Zach are arguing over how nice the table is
Keith’s Ned impression is so spot on, i’m crying
Zach: “we had a day without toilet paper. those were dark times.” i don’t even wanna know...

Ned edits on the weekends while simultaneously caring for his baby
Keith: “Eugene doesn’t sleep sometimes.”
Eugene sounds so hoarse and sleep deprived and it’s upsetting
they’re prioritizing quality over quantity, while also trying to keep a consistent upload schedule. that has to be so difficult and straining.
Zach compares it to a triangle with three points: a lot of videos, good videos, and maintaining sanity; they can only choose two, and they’ve chosen the first two.
1 DAY TIL LAUNCH
as i mentioned before, genuine fear and stress in their eyes
Ned: “the EVE before our launch.”

omg i love your ladylike high school hc's! what are your buzzfeed high ships and what's one headcanon you have for them??
thank you mauricio i fucking love u
zugene - they are slow burn. the slowest fucking burn. it’s ugly how slow of a burn it is. keith and ned have to fucking force them together. but when they do get together (at a school dance, of all fucking places) they are a gross pda couple. so in love. it’s nasty.
ned/ariel - they are….. literally so cute. okay so ned carries all of ariel’s books around and ariel has ‘mrs. fulmer’ doodled in the margins of her notebooks and one day ned sees it while holding her chem book and actually cries thinking “fuck im gonna marry that girl one day.”
standrew - okay these boys are so fucking cute and it warms my heart. every friday is their date night and they take each other to their fave restaurants… of course they’re a lil poor so it’s not always the fanciest establishment but you better bet for their year anniversary in sophomore year (bc yeah they started dating in freshman year….. fight me on it) they go all fucking out.
becky/keith - they grew up together, their moms are on the pta together, and they would always play like ninja warrior dragon fighters as children. (keith was always a dragon who hoarded food and becky was a ninja warrior fighter who always wore a morph suit.)
ashtel - ashly works at a fast food restaurant and chantel always comes in to hang with her after her shift. she won’t order any fast food but she has to order something to hang around so she orders one coffee and sits in her corner with her book until ash is ready to leave. all of ashly’s coworkers just think her girlfriend is weirdly coffee-addicted.
shyan - their first date, is, of course, to a scary movie. ryan tries to do the yawn and stretch thing within the first ten minutes but he’s too short so he fails. this causes shane to die of laughter, cackling for a good ten minutes, patrons sitting around them shushing them and ryan trying to ask satan to open the ground and swallow him up.
and this one is a bonus bc no one but me ships them but. after seeing this video. i can’t not.
bonus: jen/kelsey (jelsey) - one day jen finds kelsey drunkenly crying at eugene’s party (fucking everyone is there - drama kids, band kids, cheerleaders, science geeks, etc. everyone.) and she sits down next to her, quiet for a while, and is like “you okay??” and kelsey puts on a big drunken kelsey smile and is like “yep!! perfectly fine, just unlovable and intolerable, but what else is new.” and then she starts crying again bc she doesn’t have a prom date and it’s a month away and she doesn’t want to ask eugene to go to another dance with her bc he’s dating zach and - “i’ll go with you.” kelsey laughs, and then stutters when jen looks serious. “wait, fuck you, seriously?” “yeah. i’m not dating anyone and you’re really cool, kelsey. i mean, if you want to go with me - “ “i’ll go if you want to.” “uh, yeah, i’d like that.” long story short they decide to go as “friends” and then as “friends with benefits” and then another girl asks jen to dance at prom and kelsey gets jealous and they end up “girlfriends.”
