Ok phandom peeps, I need to get something off my chest. I cannot stop thinking about it, it’s so funny that this happened to me!
So I’ve been casually perusing the DP fandom for a while, right? Like for several years at least! What can I say? I like art! So at various points I had talked to my aunt about some stuff related, like fun stuff about the phandom and the existence of ghost king aus and stuff. Recently though, I found a fanfic that I spent AN ENTIRE DAY reading and doing nothing else! Like I stayed up late the night before, woke up to immediately read more! I don’t normally read fanfics, let alone any long form story, cuz my attention span is shit and has been shit basically all my life! So in the evening when I was a good chunk of the way through the fic, I talked to my aunt about it! Cuz it’s funny! I found a lot of things in it very amusing and wanted to share!
And then she asked for a link…
The next thing I know, within a few months, probably 3 months later at most, my aunt starts telling me about phandom lore I had never even heard of before! She literally made an ao3 account!!! Guys I am floored! I’ve been idly watching from the shadows for so long, and then I accidentally get my aunt into the phandom and she starts telling me about a red duck candle that’s apparently been integral DPxDC lore for YEARS!
What have I DONE???

I wrote an outline a month ago about what I think happened w brnine and jesset 5 years ago and never posted it , putting it here under the cut bc of mortifying ordeal etc
so: not sure if this is pre or post funeral/mourning, depends on when broun made up with jesset. I cannot find in the transcripts when brnine was suddenly cool with him again but I do remember that being on screen and kinda suspicious. Anyways:
Broun had been locked up in their room and not interacting with anyone for days, but one night jesset spots them about to leave for town.
He stops them and asks where they’re going. They say “None of your business.” and tries to leave but jesset is in the way. “Move.”
“Look, you can go just… We’re all worried about you. I don’t want to lose… We can’t afford to lose another person. Let me come with you.”
Broun sighs, resigned. They don’t forgive Jesset necessarily but they know he doesn’t deserve to be the target of their ire either. Blowing up at him before was…embarrassing.
“Fine. Whatever. I won’t stop you from tagging along.”
They go to some dive bar (I don’t remember icebreaker logistics but I assume they can get in land and go places).
They’re both seated at the bar and it’s very awkward. Broun asks for some strong drink and Jesset asks for the same. Broun rolls their eyes.
Drinks arrive. They down it in one shot and asks for another. Jesset tries to do the same but chokes on it immediately and starts coughing, making a small scene. Bartender is like “hey watch your friend there”
Broun pats his back and laughs for the first time and tension is alleviated a bit. Broun takes his drink and orders jesset something milder.
They’re drinking and talking about meaningless things for a while. Broun seems to never bring up Valence, even in stories where jesset know they were there, generally keeping it vague. He does not want to step on any toes at this point so he follows suit and avoids mentioning them also.
Eventually, the bartender cuts Broun off and tells them to go home. Jesset is tipsy too but slightly more stable than Broun so he offers his shoulder to them and they don’t refuse, clinging to him as they stumble back to base.
They get to Broun’s quarters, Broun fumbles trying to unlock the door and once they finally manage, Jesset helps get them to their bed
He says let me get you some water but they don’t let go of his arms, says “wait”, he ends up seated on the bed next to them
He’s looking at their face, they looked flushed and they’re staring back intently, getting closer, and he’s getting closer too, pulled in by Something (the effect)
They kiss, lightly at first, pausing for a moment with their foreheads together, and they start again, much hungrier this time. They’re fully making out now, hands roaming aimlessly, broun climbing onto jesset’s lap. After some moments Jesset starts feeling some droplets on his face, he opens his eyes and see that Broun is crying.
He stops the kissing and asks if they’re okay. They wipe their tears with their sleeve and say yeah just keep going somethings just in my eye. But he makes them stop, says “We don’t have to do this.”
They do back down, and they’re quietly sitting next to each other for a moment.
Finally, he breaks the silence with “Do you want to talk about Valence? I want to talk about Valence.”
”We’ve talked plenty about them.”
”Then can I talk about them.”
Broun sighs but is silent and lets him continue. They’ve both slumped to the floor in front of the bed now and jesset tells a story about Valence during all the election stuff that Broun never heard about. Broun then finally talks about Valence a bit. Eventually at like 5 am, they fall asleep on jesset’s shoulder. He helps them into bed and leaves.
They’re like fine now after this but have Not spoken about that night since and it’s been 5 years. This might be the last time Brnine talked about Valence with someone also.
There’s a slight awkwardness for a bit right after but eventually there’s a fondness on both sides…. No time to actually do anything about it tho. Yet(?)

My brain is doing some NOT VERY GREAT things rn, so I am EXTERNALIZING THE FEELINGS ONTO FICTIONAL MEN because that’s a healthier coping mechanism than the other options. (cw for suicidal ideation)

Jay’s been to the college library twice. Once because it was part of orientation, and once on his own in an attempt to do homework. He got one chapter into his assigned reading before a group of enthusiastic tennis juniors swept through and picked up anyone they recognized, and he hasn’t been back since. There’d been too many people around to focus on homework anyway.
“I’m not doing homework.”
Carlos thwacks his head. “I didn’t say we were doing homework, I said we’re going to the library. I know you don’t focus around other people.”
Jay rolls onto his back, as far away as he can get in the confines of a twin bed.
It’s not very far.
“I don’t focus….anywhere.”
Carlos winds a hand into his shirt to pull him back.
“Like I said, I know this game. You don’t focus anywhere because your brain thinks you’d be better off dead, and it won’t listen to anything that’s not getting it to that goal. You’re not going to shout over it, so you’re got to sneak around it.”

Woke up and remembered I don’t have to fight antis anymore and prove that I have media literacy because the show confirmed everything Rinas knew to be true AND they kissed.
Chocolates theory? Confirmed
Ricky beating the he doesn’t love Gina allegations.
Gina beating the SHE doesn’t love Ricky anymore allegations
Rina kiss and confession.
And they’ll beat the getting together at the end of the season curse allegations because it took them 25 episodes, 3 real years to get together and they had all the early 2000’s teen drama endgame ship tropes
I really won like whoa?
