Splicers

Since I needed to do some research for a project I will be starting soon, I decided to put everything I found interesting about Splicers in one compact post for me to always find it back.

General Splicers

Thuggish Splicer

Leadhead Splicer

Spider Splicer

Nitro Splicer

Houdini Splicer

Because of the way this game works, a lot of the ‘standard’ splicers listed above use either the Splicer-models I am getting into further into this post or the standard model showing on their wiki.

Baby Jane

Came to Rapture to make it big in show business, but ended up having to resort to other means to get by. Can be heard constantly questioning the reality of the situation happening around her and regretting her loss of beauty.

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK DIALOGUE

"Get away from my face!" [Screams] "Not on my face!"

"Look at yourself! And you would do it too!"

"Why did you cut me?! Why?!"

"It's my part! Mine!"

"Stop ogling me!"

"You're making me lose my place! STOP IT!"

"Get your FAT. HANDS. AWAY FROM ME!"

"Just say something, goddammit!"

"Honey? Is that you…?"

"I'm sorry… We can do it together!"

"DARLING! I'M HOME EARLY!"

"I don't- I don't wanna- I don't wanna hear this… I- [Whimpering] I don't want to hear this…"

"Pretend you're not interested. They like that."

"He's gone! They always leave…"

"He left, he left, he left, left, left! He left! He left!"

"Came here to be a star! Came here to be a star- Not too late, not too late!"

"Mr. Ryan's gonna notice me, and I'm gonna be a star! It's not too late, not too late!"

"I used to be beautiful. What happened to me?!"

[Laughs] "And even that was a bad performance."

[Crying] "They'll be okay, right?! I mean, it was just- it was just an accident!"

"Tell me you love me! Go on, say it!"

"Someone shou- should do this for me, someone should be doing this for me!"

"Ow—! And I— used to love bees!"

"I had real talent!"

"I had innocence- I was innocent!"

"I had innocence! You took my innocence!"

"Parasite! Paparazzi!"

"Stop — STARING!"

"You're a plain little girl! Plain- too plain."

"This wasn't part of the deal!"

"Only geniuses get saved, lunkhead!"

"Your memories? Yeah, we don't need 'em."

"Why would you bring a kid?!"

"Send your daughter home, freak!"

"Just me and the roaches."

"Rejection." [Cries]

"I don't understand." [Cries]

"To have seen what I have seen… see what I see…"

"I worked hard to look this good, and they still appreciate it… some of them…"

"Hello my baby, hello my honey, la da di da da da [Hums] nothing like a good old picture show…"

"Siren Alley [Sigh] well, the rent is cheap and there's work."

"Can we try that scene over? I forgot my line."

The Breadwinner

A wanna-be big-shot who thinks money and fame are everything. He's convinced himself that Rapture’s downfall was just a small problem in his ultimate goal.

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK DIALOGUE

"Finally. [coughs] Happy."

"I was right, I tell ya. I was right, god damn it."

"Come on! Just- just let me explain, will ya?"

[Disgusted noise] "I'm too busy for this shit."

"She should not have come here."

"Ah, a man can start a business down here, yeah. Now now, it's- it's not too late. I'll get to it."

"Yeah. Yeah, Ryan's gonna stake me, huh? Yeah! No, he- he'll stake us all. Just give it some time. Yeah, just a little time."

"It's just a bad quarter. Naw, that's all. Yeah, market'll come back, huh? Yeah! Everything'll be fine. Yeah, it'll all be fine… Augh."

"You think that I'm dumb? Sure, sure, why not? You keep on thinkin' that."

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK II DIALOGUE

"You can’t take this from me!"

"Think you can take what’s mine?!"

"I ain’t gettin’ reborn with you, no way."

He also has very gross misogynistic lines that are uh... interesting for his character, but I don’t want to be near them with a ten-foot pole, so you can check out the wiki-page for those.

"I ain’t lost my touch, just look at me! I’m a king down here, a king! Yeah!"

"You think I’m that dumb?! Sure, sure, why not. You keep thinking that!"

"The business world’s ruthless, kid. Get used to it."

Dr. Grossman

A roaming medical professional who’s use of ADAM twisted his germophobia into something horrific. He can be seen trying to destroy/murder anything he deems unclean/unhealthy.

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK DIALOGUE

"You're infecting this whole place!"

"You keep away from my patients!"

"You're crawling with disease!"

"Well, he won't get any better that way."

"I'm- I'm covered in his filth! DISGUSTING!"

"I've got patients to see, no time for distractions!"

"The subject… appears to have been ripped apart from the inside… probably a failed teleport."

"I- I try to help, but- sometimes I- I make mistakes… I try to help! But sometimes I- I make mistakes."

"I hate the babies, the most. They come out covered in death."

"I like the prestige, but I don't like the germs. The germs, they-they get under your nails, they crawl around at night."

"It's unsanitary in here, filthy! Come, let me take care of you."

"Haven't slept in weeks."

"Typical behavior for someone with your condition!"

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK II DIALOGUE

"My services, for free? [laughs] Get out!"

"I no longer require your services… nurse."

"Don't dare get your disease on me!"

"I killed [coughs] lost you! Once already."

"I guess it was just the wind… or was it a dream?"

"I gave up on helping people long ago, but I still ease their suffering.

"Might as well call me an undertaker these days… But, it suits me just fine."

"I come away from that damn clinic smelling like death. Everywhere! It smells like death!"

"Wait, my scrubs! All a-tatter?! Wha-what's happened here?"

"The thing about genes, they're just germs, and we're all crawling with them, all of us."

"Eternity will be so clean. So clean! So very, very clean!"

"The days are getting shorter! No no, that's not right!"

Ducky

A bitter lonely old man with a lot of prejudice who works security around Rapture. Becomes a devout part of ‘The Family’ during Bioshock II.

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK DIALOGUE

"He-hey? Hello? I'm here." [Crying]

"Poor sucker… my soul… my soul."

"They'll never find out about this. It's all gone away."

"Stop this… this isn't what ya think it is."

"Those stupid kids… they don't even know."

"Somebody gotta keep order around this place. If not, it'll go to the parasites."

"All these parasites want a piece of this place. And we gotta guard the borders, we gotta keep 'em out."

"They want what we got. And we gotta defend what's ours!"

"The parasites, the papists, the race mixers- I got my eye on all of them!"

"I'm just lonely! I— I'm lonely!"

"Down on the ground! DOWN ON THE GROUND!"

"You can run, but we'll find you! We run this place from tips to toes!"

"Oh… gimme my hat, Emma. Sweet mother of mercy!"

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK II DIALOGUE

"Fuck it! God dammit! I hate bees!"

"Not the blood of the Son... my blood!"

"You wear the mark of the beast!"

"¡Qué estúpido!"

"¡Por favor! Help me!"

"¡Aye, Madonna mia! I'm bleeding!"

The rest is all religious rambling, and tbh ?? I have no time for it. Ducky really annoys me.

Lady Smith

One of the upper-class matrons of Rapture and pretty much a WASP stereotype. (I really don’t like her.)

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK DIALOGUE

"Darling, is that you?"

"Hello? Oh, get the door, Sydney!"

"Nothing there, but we should bring in the hounds from the stables, just the same."

"Audrey, Michelle, Peter, Thomas, William, Joseph… no wait, n-not Peter."

"My dear elite, no, distinguished friends. I've finally found the answer we've all been looking for!"

"Too introverted for anyone to notice."

"Charles! I think the negro cook's been stealing. It's always like that with the coloreds. Take, take, take."

"They always arrive with out-stretched hands. They're a tuneful people, I'll grant you, but so lazy."

"It's not like those people in Apollo Square. Animals, every one of them!"

"They talk talk talk, but in the end they've got nothing to offer society. Just more mouths to feed."

"Look at him, just lying there! Another parasite!"

"Run away! You people will never amount to anything!"

"You know what they do to vagrants in Rapture? They hang them!"

"You think you can just take what you want? This isn't the jungle!"

"There's proper folk, here. You don't fit in."

"It's always the same with you parasites, looking for a hand out."

"Yes, Dr. Steinman. Uh, no Dr. Steinman… sorry, Dr. Steinman."

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK II DIALOGUE

"Audrey, Michelle, Peter, Thomas, William, Joseph… Oh, no! No no no! Wait, not Peter!"

"I'm writing down your name, you filth!"

"The times may be unkind, but did you have to take our home? I raised my children there! Bastards!"

"I'm surrounded by them, and yet they can tell… I'm their better! They know it… I know it!"

"Three children. Yes, three little angels, all gone now. I wonder if they miss their mommy?"

"I'll not associate with your kind."

"This is an outrage! AN OUTRAGE!"

"Lester, where is my doll…?"

Toasty

I hope you guys will forgive me and also understand that I will honor the memory of Henry R. Lumley as he actually was and not as the horrible person the Bioshock devs painted him as.

I am still really disgusted by the fact that they would use his face as the model for Toasty (a literal murderer/rapist!) and never even asked his surviving family members if they could do such.

So I will skip this one, hope you don’t mind.

Pigskin

A young American football player pressured to Splice to become a better athlete. Unlike most Splicers, they seem to have partial awareness of what is happening to them.

(Honestly ?? they’re my personal favorites.)

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK DIALOGUE

"Uh, baby…? I'm- I'm… I'm all calmed down, now… Okay? So-… Just open?! Would ja- shit!"

"Hey, come on- come on… Joey's gone, alright? You- you could come out, now."

"Not today, Dad, alright? I mean god damn!"

"Eh, Mom…? Mom…? I- it's er-"

"It's alright, Dad. It's alright, Dad."

"It's cold… Stay- stay focused, stay whatever, stay in the game. Stay."

[Chuckle] "Oh, shit. Hey, Dad, check this out!"

"I… I know you… No, I- I know you. I- I- I know I know you. You're- you're- you're that guy with the writing."

"It- it's different, this time, ya know? Really, it is. It- it certainly is."

"I'm good enough…! Why don't you believe it?"

"I'm tryin', Mr. Ryan. Please don't judge me! Please!"

"Look at me, Mr. Ryan. I- I've got nothin' left to give."

"Mom…? Dad…? Can you come get me?"

"It hurts… It- it- it hurts just to breathe."

"He's an intruder… and- and they make us kill intruders."

"I just wanna go to sleep… Just wanna go to sleep, I just wanna go to sleep."

"They make me hate everything I see! They make me hate everything I see! They make me hate everything I see! They make me hate everything I see!"

"I do what I'm told! I just do what I'm told! I always just do what I'm told!"

"Where are you?! They'll kill me if I don't find you!"

"Better come out! It- it'll go easier for both of us!"

"Please, come on out! It'll be so much worse if you hide!"

"Do you have any idea what they'll do if I don't find you?!"

"Yeah, am I entertaining you? Great! Is this fun to watch?!"

"Mom. Mom? Look what I've done. Mom?"

"I did it, okay? He's dead! Now just leave me alone!"

"Why did you make me do it? Why?"

"There! He's dead! Now just shut up!"

"It's over, okay? It's over! Now just get out of my head!"

"It hurts! It hurts! Jesus, it hurts!"

Plastered Splicer

Splicers that fell victim to being turned into Cohen’s art-work. There are no specifics on how this exactly happened or how they function and are even still alive, but they are and they’re scary as feck.

Rosebud

A female worker frantically looking for her lost child (who has most likely been turned into a Little Sister). She is known as ‘ruthless and deceptive’, being one of the few Splicer-types that can actually set traps.

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK DIALOGUE

"Behind every door, an opportunity is so dangerous. "

"A floor, one two three four six seven… twelve thirteen thirty-four twenty-seven."

"She's still breathing… Oh, of course she is, she's just a child…"

"Shh… Oh, no… Of course you're not dying, my little one. You're just a baby… Babies don't die."

"No… they won't take you… you're just a- a little child."

"But she's my little girl… She has my eyes, can't you see?"

"Ah, don't hurt her! No, please! Take me, instead!"

"Oh, please… please… you don't want my girl. She's no use to you… can't you take… the neighbor's girl, instead?"

"Take me! Take my body! Take anything! Just don't hurt- take my little one!"

"Wake up, sleepy. [Chuckle] They're gone… Please? Please…? Please?!"

"I have time monster. I have all the time in the ocean."

"Kislány! Are you there, little child?"

"Sweetness? Mama's here to hold you."

"Sweetheart…? Where are you…? Come out, please… Mama just wants to hold you."

"Why would you take my little one?!"

Waders

The model for the secretly religious zealot from Bioshock (pretty much the same function as Ducky from Bioshock II) he believes he is avenging angel serving an angry God by punishing the sinful denizens of Rapture.

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK DIALOGUE

"You'll open up if you know what's good for you!"

"Open up! ¡Ay! Qué mierda."

"I traded You, oh Lord, for Mammon, and what did it get me, huh?!"

"I'm sorry, Father! I'll do what You say, I-I'll do what You say!"

"Even miles under water, He still sees everything, sees everything, sees everything, sees everything, sees everything!"

[Singing] "Jesus loves me, this I know; for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but He is strong!"

And other religious stuff.

Brute

A result of Splicing with a concoction of Sports Boost and Armored Shell Gene Tonics. Brutes are very aggressively masculine and homophobic, which is revealed to be internalized homophobia once you Hypnotize him and he flirts with Delta. (I could not make this shit up.)

FAVORITE BIOSHOCK II DIALOGUE

"A million little pricks- fuck, fuck! Leave me be!"

"Fucking sodomites everywhere."

"I know what you're thinkin'."

"Not my bloody type, luv."

"Oh, you're pissin' yourself now, eh?"

"You're mine now, lil' girl."

"I'm top man down here!"

"We're just mates, you titface!"

"Clip your wings, ya fairy!"

[Chuckles] "Oh, he wants a tussle."

"She's gonna watch me do ya, son!"

"Who's the daddy NOW, son!?"

"Suit don't make you a man."

"I feel… nothin'…"

"Peace, quiet, solitude. Proper solitude."

"These fuck's gotta bring more in, or I'll hafta…" [Chuckles] "I'll hafta start teaching 'em. Ooh…"

"We can start over down here, once we drown out all the buggers and the queens. It'll be real men only."

"Some thoughts are just wrong. Nasty thoughts. Gotta stomp them thoughts right out!"

"Doctor Lamb says to embrace the man in the mirror. How bloody queer is that?"

"Sander Cohen. There was a man! Sharp suit, good mustache, took no guff!"

"Lass wanted me to try wrestlin' before the city started pissin' itself, but I don't go in for all that touchin' and sweatin'. I'm a boxin' man."

(Just to point out, this is him after being hypnotized)

"I love you, ya lil' shite. I do."

"Jus' tell me who to kill, guv."

"Feel so—what you call it—comfortable witcha."

"Nice to have a proper mate at last."

"Partners, yeah? I like the sound of that."

"I like a man what keeps his mystery."

"Mates, right? Mates. Yeah."

"Do anything for ya. I mean that."

"Right, guv, let's get into some nasty."

"I'd look a poof in that suit, but you carry it."

"Shite! Gah! You fucked me 'ead!"

"Lyin' lil' mince! I trusted ya!"

The Mother

A very overprotective mom who sees herself as very nurturing and self-sacrificing, but is fairly possessive and restrictive in actuality.

FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE

"Nothing could happened to my boy, I made him wear his best scarf today… he's bundled up tight!"

"I would never leave him with the sitter, they're all perverts."

"Wake up son. You worry me when you sleep so deeply."

"Gonorrhea, that's what you'll get. And there's no cure but the madhouse."

"Franklin, get Mother's cream out of the armoire. I need you to do your magic."

"Franklin, why don't you come over and rub mother's feet? They're barking."

"Friends? Of course he's got friends, but I always come first."

"There's no relationship like mother and son, it's deeply intimate."

"Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!"

"I'd like to see you run away, you wouldn't last the night!"

"No one'll ever love you as much as me!"

"I only worry so much because I love you!"

"I raised you better than this!"

"What's mothering but a thankless job?"

The Performer

A singer who hasn’t had work in a while, but never let it dampen his spirit.

FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE

"Yeah, folks always stare when I make the scene… You get used to it!"

"I told Sander Cohen, I'm always ready to cut a record or put on a show! Said he'd call."

"Yeah… Those old numbers sure got some high notes. But I got something new in the works!"

"I been on sabbatical for… goin' on 15 years now… I got some work, but I want to get back to real acting!"

"I warned you to stop following me!"

"Hello? You from the "Stars and Screen" magazine?"

"Don't leave me! Not again!"

The Social Darwinist

A doctor of psychiatry who advocates for the survival of the fittest and evolutionary superiority no matter the cost. (Hate this sob.)

FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE

"That's right… Cry like a baby. Your mother didn't love you… Why should she? What did you ever do to earn it? Nothing."

"You were the worst kind of parasite! Only taking, giving nothing in return! That you were a child means nothing!"

"Do you know what they call men who shy from adversity in war-time? Deserters… They shoot them… And rightly so!"

"Very painful, I assure you… But you will be hardier for it! More highly evolved! Superhuman!"

"No it's not the strongest that survive, but the fittest! Those most capable of change! A good start is thinking for yourself…"

"Did you come to Rapture because it seemed fashionable?! Or did you intend to make something of yourself? If you don't keep ahead of the rest you'll be resigned to follow."

"If you're going to disappear before my diagnosis, why did you come in the first place?!"

The Small Business Owner

Okay, I take back everything I was about to say about The Salesman, this is Sinclair 2.0! The description literally says ‘This businessman is willing to do whatever it takes to thrive, even if it's technically illegal.’ JFC, they could have at least tried.

FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE

"So I greased a few palms here an' there, time-to-time… What of it? I've been told this town is friendly to free enterprise!"

"'Fat Cat'? If that's what they call a fella who's prosperous?! Determined?! Uncompromising?! Then, FINE! The shoe fits! You got me."

"Criminal Dealings?! [short laugh] Fallacy! Misdirection! From those afraid to let the market take its natural course."

"You ain't no big shot round here!"

"Push me? I push right back!"

"You'll never amount to nothing!"

[short laugh] "I'm gonna bring you to heel!"

The Beauty Queen / King

A woman who recites her prepared speech for the Rapture Pageant.

FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE

"I'm just honored to be in the competition and… gee, I hope you like me… Because I'd like nothing more than to be Miss Rapture 1958…"

"Mother always says it's important to be yourself, so here I am, 100% the genuine article."

"Well, he's gotta be handsome AND smart and self-assured like Andrew Ryan… [short laugh] And good with his hands like Dr. Steinman!"

"No need to hide. I'm 'a regular person.' Just like you!"

"Butterflies in your stomach? C'mere. I have just the thing!"

(male variant)

"We're all adults… Nothing we can't work around with a little elbow grease."

"Women don't care for character anymore. It's all money and looks."

"Hello? You from "Star and Screen" magazine?"

Ryan Security Agent

Men and women handpicked by Sullivan to maintain order and keep the city safe from potential threats. There’s not much else known about this specific character model.

FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE

"Atlas' followers have been living on borrowed time if you ask me. Who knows, maybe Ryan got tired of footing the bill for this place."

"Told Ryan he should've given each of these clowns a bullet, not a prison."

"Guy made a city at the bottom of the ocean, and they thought it was a wise idea crossing him."

"We get in, disappear the girl and Atlas' crew, back before happy hour."

"I'm smart enough to know Ryan's smarter than all of us."

"You judge a man by his enemies? Then Ryan doesn't amount to much."

"Fontaine's followers put up a good fight at the fisheries. I'd expected more from this lot."

"What did you think was gonna happen? You cross Ryan and get off scot-free?"

Misc.

Didn’t really feel like getting into the Crawlers, Buttons, Heady, The Hypochondriac, The Ex-Boyfriend, The Schoolteacher, Frosty Splicers, Houdini, Survivors and Jockey Splicers because they either feel uninteresting to me or are super area restricted.

Here's some stuff to do and listen to.

7/20/18

Are you ready to receive some suggestions to entertain your fine selves? ‘Cause I’m ready to give it.

For those who are local: My dad and brother run NYFO together for Green Bay. What’s NYFO? WELL. “NYFO 7on7 Football is the next generation of player development, no matter your skill set. NYFO is the NATIONAL GOVERNING BODY for 7on7 & Non-contact Football. Our leagues, camps, and training exist to ultimately transition better, safer, and more fundamentally sound knowledgeable players. NYFO is committed to helping every player in our program improve no matter their skill level. By doing so we will ultimately enhance the sport of football, from youth organizations through the NFL. NYFO is ‘Non-Contact’ For parents, ‘non-contact’ can be translated into ‘one-hand touch.’ Without the distraction of full-contact, players can focus on fundamentals. With so much negative media attention given to concussions and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), 7on7 offers parents a safer alternative for kids wanting to play football.” Quick additional info: They offer programs for age groups 8U, 10U, 13U, 15U, and 18U. Go to their website if you’re interested in signing your kids up! Okay but anyway, if you need something to do this Friday you should go to a Bullfrogs baseball game! Bullfrogs “Stars Of Tomorrow” fundraiser family & friend tickets are $18 and include your ticket (duh), a Bullfrogs hat, a hot dog, AND a soda! A damn steal if you ask me. It helps out NYFO and you’ll have something fun to do! All registered players from NYFO get in free with and a portion of the proceeds from family/friends tickets sales going to the NYFO by simply using code “NYFO7on7” at the point of purchase. Go to greenbaybullfrogs.com, click Buy Tickets Now in the top right corner, and enter the promo code (NYFO7on7). Gates open at 6:05pm and the game is at 7:05pm! See you at the diamond on July 20th! Give them a follow on Instagram! @greenbay.nyfo

I never really blog about music for how passionate I am about it. I have mentioned before that I sing, too. I’d love music even if I couldn’t sing though. Anyway, everyone loves finding new music, right? I’m gonna tell you my most listened to artists and songs on my Spotify. First, I’ll tell you how I found this data. I found this question forum on this link: https://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-way-to-see-my-most-played-artists-songs-in-Spotify. You’ll see in the answer that there’s Spotify.Me or there’s ManageMyMusic to see your most listened to stuff. Spotify.Me is intricate and gives you information like your favorites, streaming habits, and listening insights. Apparently, what I listen to the most is considered to be a bunch of different types of “pop.” I don’t know if I agree with that. They also tell me that “I know what I want” because 84% of my favorite artists are within my most-listened to genre. That I can agree with. It says I’m high energy lately in my streaming choices, but I don’t see it. I have been choosing really chill music, in my opinion. The other link in that question/answer forum is called ManageMyMusic and it gives you a ton of lists; Top artists and tracks for the “Short Term (4 weeks),” the “Medium Term (6 months),” and for the “Long Term (Years).” I’ll give you my top ten for each category, though I know there will be overlapping. I obviously love everything I am about to include so please give this stuff a listen. You’re about to get an intimate peek at my soul.

Honestly, the first 5 tracks do surprise me a little, but that was back when I had my music on constantly when I was single and home alone quite often. I remember keeping those on repeat for hours at times, so I’m not sure how accurate that actually is only because of that fact. This was all super cool to see, though. Some of it was expected, some unexpected. Either way, I hope I gave you some new stuff to listen to! And you should check out for own profiles. Nice opportunity to learn a little about yourself.

This past weekend, it was pretty warm out. Baby and I wanted to get Nugget a sprinkler so I took the little one with me to the store aaaaand they were sold out. Due to all the warmth. So I bought Nugget some water guns instead. We got 2 smaller ones and 2 larger ones for THIRTEEN DOLLARS, TOTAL. YEAH. This s’mom was shocked by that price, that’s for sure. We played and sprayed when we got home. Baby and Nugget had some fun together. The first thing Nugget did when we filled his gun though was spray me right in the (get ready) vagina. Yes. Then he yells, “I’M SPRAYING YOU IN THE PARTS.” I was like, “Uhhhhh, let’s not spray anyone’s parts and also let’s talk about anyone’s parts. It’s not polite and those are private” LOL. He’s never said anything to me about private parts or anything so that was new to me. He walks into my room when I’m changing a fair amount of the time and I know for a fact he’s seen more than I meant him to, but he has never asked questions, pointed anything out, etc. I think it’s important to set an example for your children in the sense to be comfortable with their bodies and such. This might be a whole new chapter with Nugget! We will see. Enough about my “parts” and back to the water guns. Baby said that on one of the weeks that we don’t have Nugget, that he wants to do a water gun race with me. I got 2 free beach balls from Sprint when I got a new phone last week (among a ton of other free shit, which I'll tell y'all about soon) and Baby said we should see whoever can get the beach ball across our backyard the fastest by spraying them with the water guns. I honestly think that sounds more fun than any idea I've ever had LOL. It reminds me of when I almost bought us both Nerf guns. So, if things are little mundane (or even if they’re not) maybe you and your love should find your inner children together! Get water-balloons and have a water-balloon fight, chalk up your driveway, set up obstacle courses, have a scavenger hunt! You can make it interesting by making fun deals. Whoever loses has to make dinner, for example. I think we will try all of these ideas eventually.

Speaking of shopping with Nugget, I am in the process of teaching him about not asking for toys every time we go. Baby went through a break up after a 3 year relationship before we was with me. He told me that he felt awful that Nugget no longer had two people raising him and Baby made up for that by buying Nugget toys every time they went to the store. I could tell there was a reason why Nugget would ask like clockwork what toy he would get every time we went shopping. I have been working on breaking Nugget of that expectation, as well as working on having him appreciate the things he has at home. I explain to him Daddy and I only have a certain amount of dollars and that its usually only enough to buy what we needed from the store in the first place. He actually understands this concept very well. He always asks why we are going to the store, so I always have the opportunity to tell him what we need to buy. When we went to buy the sprinkler he asked me, "Can we get a toy from here?" and I replied with, "Buddy, remember what we came here for?" He answered correctly about buying a sprinkler. I said in a very positive tone, "Yep and I'm pretty sure we only have enough dollars for a sprinkler. And you also have a bunch of toys at home that you love to play with." We walked by a few things that piqued his interest. As we walked by some bubble-guns, he goes, "Oooh, those look fun. But we only have dollars to get the sprinkler." I was so proud of him for making this connection and also proud of myself for explaining it to him so that he really does understand this. I was raised by people who didn't explain things. It was always a "because I said so" type of world and I learned to accept it. I won't put Nugget in that world, though. I want him to recognize reasoning and be able to grasp why things are the way they are. He is incredibly intelligent and capable of knowing this information. I also want him to trust me and be honest with me as we grow together, so the first step is me trusting him and being honest with him first. Just wanted to share my super proud s'mom moment of the week. I'll be back tomorrow with new recipes for you!

Band Bazzar, Saturday November 17

so we had to be at the school at 5:30 in the morning which I had no problem with, but my dad was very pissed about.

I woke up at 4 and took a shower and then put my makeup on because I figured my band shirt was in the basket of laundry, and continued my makeup till 5:15 to wake up my dad and get into my band shirt and leggings which the leggings I found quickly, but I could not find my FUCKIN BAND SHIRT so I was searching for 10 minutes to try to find ONE of my EIGHT band shirts with my dad condensendingly standing waiting for my to find one, so I just grabbed one of my shirts from regionals, which I should have grabbed my legacy one shoot me cause I was in full black.

so it was 5:26 and I still needed breakfast so I could take my meds so I shoved my shoes on, and chugged some apple juice to down my pills and grabbed a bar for breakfast, my wallet and eyeliner so I could put it on at the school, and going out the door I told my dad that my grandma had said to grab things for all my family within 50 bucks and then when I see her on Thursday she'd give my mom and dad 50 bucks as a present and a sorry that she couldnt come and see me at the bazzar and how she couldn't see me after finals. so my dad gets pissed cause he doesn't have cash on him, ( which the 20 bucks he did have I has to use for lunch, Freddies and another day of lunch lunch is 5 bucks each day and then Freddies I thought I could give him the cash and then have a check for lunch so I spent 8 bucks cause I was starving) which was another thing he was pissed about and then he said oh I'm so sorry not everything is handed to you on a silver platter to which we argued about because honey I wish it was I wish I didn't have to volunteer so my parents don't have to worry about Disney, have to get rides from C who's unreliable so my mom doesn't have to worry about getting me from school when she already has to worry about nursing sometimes walking home if I have a detention or have to stay after school to get help with math, when there is no sidewalk near a busy street so I have to pretty much trespass a construction site so i dont get ran over.

and he says how I don't do shit for my family cause I don't clean, which I respond sorry I need to get my grades up so I don't have a d by the end of this semester and get a withdrawl fail to which he responds oh Im so happy that you are taken care of and I just start bawling cause I'm trying so hard and he doesn't fucking see it. I just run into the building and run to the band room so I could hope fully grab one of Coles band shirts (I couldn't) once he pulled up and I hid in the band room until I composed my self, and went to see if the vendors were there to help them and if V was there. both weren't so I just talked with T and C for a bit and then V came over to tell us that the bakery was here and a whole crowd went out to help so. I figured it was all good so I grab my eyeliner to do it and IT WAS SO GOOD LIKE

and I grabbed my bar to eat it and went to help the bakery and grab all the bread and wheel to the building, which was hard cause so. many. cracks. in. the. sidewalk. and once I unload I go outside to see C eating bread and sharing it and bitch the bar did not fill me. at all and my Viibryd was killing my stomach for it, so I was just like

GIVE ME IT ALL OF IT

so I continue helping the bakery which I couldn't with a bread in my hand so I run over to Matt who was in a wheelchair cause of his knee surgery near V and threw the bread at him and with a mouth full of bread I yell

TAKE MY BREAD!!!!

and go out and help her. so yeah all morning I was just helping people unload with Flute Matt and was sitting on the carts and riding them when bored and waiting for people and then a woman pulls up with football and soft ball stickers on her car but I saw stuff in the back of her car and she pulled in the circle so I helped her with

breakfast.

for the football team.

so I just helped her go to the presentation room with the food which I figured would be opened. NOPE

so I know V has a key for the presentation room cause he has to open the presentation room for study hall AND HES ALWAYS FRICKIN LATE

so it's a mad dash trying to find V so we can't get this mom out of the circle ( who has a full cart left of food in her car) and he's NOWHERE

so I ask BM where he is, and learn he's copying papers in the office which is locked which I learn opun going to the office... so. I pace back and forth debating whether or not I should text him on remind to be like

HEY FUCKER WE NEED THE PRESENTATION ROOM KEY FOR A FOOTBALL PLAYERS MOM. PLEASE SEND HELP

when I hear his whistling and spinning of the Keychain

like a taunt

so I go over to him WHO HAS NO PAPERS and say "hey there's a mom who needs the presentation room and it's locked"

"Oh okay I'll go and unlock it after I get the papers"

so I just go and help her grab the rest of the food to the presentation room.

after a bit the Bazzar finally starts so I walk around seeing if any one needs help for about 3 hours so I go to booths in that time checking out what they have and I go to lipsense because ye Boi has been wanting to find a red lip that isn't too orange cause gotta get that Lolita look right

and then go to an opposing high school that also had a Bazzar going on to put flyers on their windshield and then to Starbucks SO WE COULD GET THAT CAFFEINE CAUSE WERE FALLING ASLEEP HERE.

once we came back we were talking lunch orders from vendors so I went to the gym to get vendors orders which almost every one was taken care of but a vendor that was close to the table that V was looking at, and I took her order but I didn't know if I took her money to the lunch so I went over to the booth he was at with someone else who thankfully asked about chapstick so I could ask V hey, do we take their money before going to the lunch line or is it taken care of? to which he was leaning in and then responds get ready

"Yeah since the tickets were only for breakfast" leans in, SO CLOSE I SEE HIS FRECKLES ON HIS LIPS AND HIS EYES ARE CLOSE

"Hey, I heard that you were very helpful from multiple vendors so thank you"

which um ACK so I was smiling and said thank you and took the woman's order and then walked around after that and V was as well and so was F with E her baby and E WAS SO CUTE OMYGOD I WANT FUCKING KIDS WTH

and yeah I walked around pretty much until it ended so I went over to the vendor that had hit her head to ask if she had a website cause I didn't have any money and my mom or dad hadn't come yet so I could get the cardinal pillow and she just ask

oh this? and pulls off the tag and gives it to me and I just almost start crying saying thank you and I hug her cause I was just on the phone with my cousin takling about how that pillow reminded me of great grandma, and I just yeah... it made me so happy. and then I see this dude from forensics in middle school and talk to him and V was close by sometimes looking to me and then I see my parents finally, and go and talk with them since we were close to closing and just needed to help vendors load to their car if needed. and I go to them and look and I get a mjölner necklace and treble clef earrings and they tell me oh yeah your two handlers told us how you were a total help to vendors. and I say oh wow and then have to run to the break room sort of thing and start to tear down and then my parents ask do we have to drive you home which at the time my ride was C and then my dad tells me that V had said

"Shes a real good kid don't be so hard on her"

like wow

and yeah. I Tore down and near when going home F and V said Thank you for helping out and F asked if I found my parents cause they were looking for you, which like V WAS RIGHT NEXT TO ME WHRN THEY WERE LOOKING AND COULD HAVE TOLD ME HEY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR YOU... so yeah but then I was walking with V and telling him that I couldn't do winter percussion this year

and he said oh thats understandable, hopefully next year and you can always come and watch, and I said yeah! I could go to rehearsal and say your doing amazing sweet! or be the water boy so at least they'd actually get waterso yeahhhhhhhhhh

then I went home and went and watched the house with a clock in the wa I think it was with my family (fun...) and once I went home I went to wash my makeup off, but there was a line for the bathroom so I just grabbed the face wash to rub it off which created a huge argument and my dad was being a dick to me all night so V's telling him to no be so hard on me didn't really get to him. so I was breaking down and crying cause it just all became too much. and I didn't really have any one so Im an idiot and I texted v on remind.

I'm sorry I'm so sorry I know it's your break and you probably want nothing to do with me and I get that. but I just i dont know guess I need somebody. and I don't really have any one right now

I'm fine, not going to hurt me or others in that sense I guess I'm sorry I don't even know why Im sending this your probably asleep and if this is annoying for you just ignore it I don't know I'm sorry

and then I sent it on a full send or no send and regretted it instantly and sent

imsorryimdorryimsorrryimsorryishouldnthavesentthatimsosorry

and 7 minutes later of me panicking he sends

What is going on? What can I do to help you?

A:probably panicking or breaking down I can't tell which one at the moment, and I have no idea im sorry

V: Okay, are you in a safe place?

A: yeah there's nothing harmful here but a trumpet, which actually hurt alot I've learned

A: I just wish my family was like how it use to be I guess is what's happening. I cant do anything right

A: I'll be fine im sorry

V:It sounds like you need to talk to somebody. Here is a number you can call to get help. 1 800 state revealing number

so like yeah hi I want to die I didn't call the number cause fuck that instead of wanting to kill myself, I wish I killed myself a year ago, a. d the bitch wanted to talk to v and I love the very hospital like help from v. I actually can't wait for break to be over but also like don't cause ill have to see V.

a soft reddie playlist + headcanons

back at it with my own playlist. @bcckybeaver and i are killing ourselves with soft reddie.

i. kiss me - ed sheeran // ii. moonlight - ariana grande // iii. until the end of time - justin timberlake // iv. crush - yuna // v. fantasy - alina baraz // vi. at your best (you are love) - aaliyah // vii. always and forever - heatwave // viii. you’re all i need to get by - marvin gaye & tammi terrell // ix. waiting for a girl like you - foreigner // x. i would do anything for you - foster the people // xi. somebody loves you - betty who // xii. beautiful soul - jesse mccartney // xiii. a thousand years - christina perri // xiv. tee shirt - birdy // xv. perfect - ed sheeran // xvi. fallingforyou - the 1975

here’s some rad heacanons to go along with our playlists. MAJOR CREDIT goes to lauren, who i tagged above, bc we kinda came up with the prompt/hcs together but she did most of the thinking tbh. if you’re not following my best friend... wyd? go follow her! also, check out her playlist here.

picture this - senior richie is on the football team and senior eddie is on the chess team. the best part? THEY SUPPORT TF OUT OF EACH OTHER

eddie and the losers are at every football game, and vice versa. like they’re so mismatched but

also imagine reddie sososo in love with each other yet not dating yet

buuuut these two cute idiots hold each other’s hands, hug on each other, and even kiss. if you ask the other losers, they make out all the time, but reddie insists they don’t (yes they do)

according to richie and eddie they’re just friends

“but you guys hug and make-out...”

“so what? stan and bill do that all of the time. that’s what best friends do”

“they’re literally dating”

but it’s not weird to them bc in their minds they’re just friends but not in a sad way. they just like to be as close to each other as possible and they just rlly think it’s normal for besties to do that stuff

lbr tho they lowkey wanna be boyfriends but they don’t know?? how to get? to that level?? like what’s functioning what’s asking out your best friend??

haaaaa whatever you do don’t imagine richie throwing a party and anxiously waiting for eddie to show up bc eddie’s all he cares about, ignoring ppl who asks if he wants to go hotbox

he wants to be sober for eddie because he knows eddie doesn’t really like intoxication

also don’t imagine eddie sitting in richie’s lap and them cuddling and kissing bc they’re in luv

eddie being mischievous and putting his cold hands under richie’s shirt to make him shriek, but richie lets him keep his hands there bc he loves eddie and eddie can do whatever he wants.

EDDIE HAVING A MAJOR CHESS TOURNAMENT AND THE LOSERS BEING THERE TO SUPPORT

eddie is going up against his arch nemesis kevin, someone he lost to last time, and he’s determined to win

RICHIE LITERALLY CHEERING FOR EDDIE LIKE HE’S AT A FOOTBALL GAME (”KICK HIS ASS, EDDIE!!!”) and knowing exactly what’s going on (if he had room in his schedule, he would have totally joined the chess club too)

when eddie wins (bc he’s a badass bitch) richie running up and KISSING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM. and it’s different this time and eddie lowkey dIES

them going out to celebrate and the waiter flirting with eddie and richie and pissing them bOTH OFF

“this guy is shit” “yeah, he’s unprofessional” “jARED IF YOU FLIRT WITH ONE OF US ONE MORE TIME” “YEAH JARED FUCK OFF”’

okay but the losers going to a carnival together and richie playing all the games to try and win eddie prizes

(he wins a huge stuffed bear for eddie that eddie names junior after richie)

eddie sneaking off to an arcade bc he saw a record player that he knew richie would love, and surprising richie?? with this gift?? (richie cried)

them getting on the ferris wheel and being soft and cute by holding hands and giving each other kisses

ok but picture these two dumdums being like “i like this whole thing, and we should keep doing it but never do it with anyone else. just each other. but we’re still best friends”

all of the losers sCREAM INTO THE ABYSS BC GET TOGETHER U IDIOTS

wow this is getting long but i have a few more hcs - imagine richie having the worst day ever and avoiding everyone and eddie just can feel that something’s wrong so he shows up to richie’s

richie just so ~~shook that eddie knew smth was off and crying bc eddie just gets him and he’s so in love with him - they cuddled and fell asleep together that night

how about the losers chilling out in a field one day and richie bringing his guitar and he sings??? to eddie??? confessing his love (he sung kiss me by ed sheeran - first song on my playlist)

eddie ofc cries... AND SAYS HE LOVES RICHIE BACK. and they’re so cute and in love and kissing each other and saying ‘i love you’ a million times

but when the losers ask if they’re together yet they.. don’t give a straight answer bc they’re IDIOTS

whatever you do... DON’T imagine richie scoring the winning touchdown and everyone being so happy, and eddie running up and saying “that’s my boyfriend!”

eddie and richie just looking at each other like “AHHH WHAT”

richie kissing the life out of eddie AGAIN and... they’re officially boyfriends.... in love.....

lauren my love.... feel free to add on ily.

To Read List - Zouis

This list is purely for myself to keep track of everything I still want to read. Its gonna change as I actually read though them and find more stuff to add.

Find fics I’ve already read here.

Zouis

far side of the moon by zouee

the one where louis’ summer holidays are blessed (or cursed) by the new boy next door.

promise me you won't regret me (like the tattoos on my skin) (orphan_account)

it seems like pain and regret are your best friends / cause everything you do leads to them / but baby i could be your best friend / and baby, i could fuck you right

the one where zayn's a stripper who swings both ways, louis' straight (or so he thinks), and harry's the gay best friend who wants to party. all. the time.

run away home with me (orphan_account)

Louis is suddenly and intoxicatingly glad to be here, under this sky and walking across this broken-up asphalt with Zayn, who is ridiculous and beautiful and looks on the whole world like it is both his for the unravelling and something that he will never be able to touch.

Very end of high school/summer before uni AU. Features approx. one instance of attending class, one study session, several dumb teenage parties, an end-of-an-era camping trip and a lot of feelings about getting older and falling for your best friend, as well as possibly slightly obsessive detailing of the weather.

I Wanna Dance With Somebody by FallingLikeThis

“Hey, Liam,” Louis asks before Niall’s best man can escape to the dancefloor with everyone else. “Who’s the DJ?”

“Oh, that’s Zayn Malik. He’s a good friend of ours. Why?” Liam asks, curiosity sparking in his eyes.

“Because I’m going to marry that man.”

somewhere in the night by alnima

Louis smiles at him back and hopes that Zayn can’t see the swirl of emotion inside him. He’s a stranger and Louis is catching feelings, go figure. Leave it to him to take in a stray and want to keep him.

which one of you is the one you are by leighbot

A fortnight in America and Louis’ craved In-N-Out Burger every day. He tells himself it has nothing to do with a certain sharp-tongued and prickly-tempered pretty lad but he’s only partially lying. Or, Louis’ a Brit in America who is just trying to raise his daughter and excel at work. A pretty man and terribly unhealthy fast food are trying to make his life difficult.

fire for a heart by alnima

“Then how come I’ve never noticed him before?” Louis asks, because he knows everyone. Or well, he knows most everyone. That’s his thing. He knows people. That doesn’t mean he’s friends with them or that he likes them all – or that they like him – but still. Zayn somehow slipped under his radar and he doesn’t understand how. Zayn is—Louis would have noticed him.

“He’s shy. He’s not really concerned about being known,” Liam says, like that’s an explanation for it. And maybe it is. Maybe not everyone wants the world to know their name like Louis does. “And why are you so concerned about him? Do you like him or something?”

“I don’t even know him, Liam, don’t be ridiculous.”

Or the one where Louis is on the football team, Zayn is in yearbook, and they make it work.

Break My Bones But You Won't See Me Fall by catholicschoolgirl

"Maybe Louis was growing up. Maybe this was his coming of age story."

Or, Louis is Bella Swan, Zayn is Edward Cullen, and vampires are totally real.

Deadly Jokes by zouisprince

Louis is a well-known criminal with a wicked sense of humor; Zayn is just the doctor who should be taking care of him, but Louis is too fascinating for his own good. (A highly-adapted Joker/Harley Quinn AU)

Where the Heaven Are We? by Gebiurl (fookin_tossah)

Louis likes weed, some weird indie band, and Zayn. Zayn likes art and not-Louis.

wasting days with you by strong

Coming in with a casual step and lazy uni student attire is a guy with a face Zayn’s got imprinted on his brain. Sullen cheeks, shifty eyes, loose tufts of brown hair falling over them from below his hood. He strolls past the front counter and down one of the aisles, checking everything out as if he doesn’t come in often enough to have it memorized.

“Need help, mate?” Zayn asks. It’s a part of their routine. I’m good, but..

“I’m good, but I’ll let you know,” the guy smiles at him, the grin never reaching his shaded eyes.

a tragically beautiful boy with blue eyes frequently steals from the store zayn works at, and zayn isn't sure what he wants to do more: help the guy out or kiss his heavenly face

Though the Stars Walk Backwards by manybumblebees

Zayn's been gone eighteen months, and the SGC have all but stopped looking for him.

One day, if Louis is very, very lucky, he’ll find a quantum mirror that’ll transport him to an alternate reality where he can call his commanding officer an idiot without losing his job.

ring of fire by countthestars

“One week,” Louis finally says, testing the words out loud. “You're giving me one week to get Zayn to kiss me in order to prove myself?” “By next week Saturday at midnight,” Liam says excitedly, like some kind of nightmare fairy godmother. “What could go wrong?” Niall adds. “I really don't want to be involved with this,” tacks on Harry. Louis' made worse choices. Probably. “You're on,” he says.

never ending math equation by liquidmeasure

Niall’s told him all about the winter. The way the snow creeps in through the cracks. The way the winds make you feel like the entire continent will be ripped up and away and tossed into the void. But that’s the bad days. Niall says on the good days, everything is still, save for the ice, and the stars flash like strobe lights and if you look up, you can see everything. You can see right through the universe. So that’s something to look forward to.

Or...Louis does science, Zayn is an enigma, Harry studies penguin poop and Niall fixes radios. Nobody knows how they feel, but Zayn knows how everyone feels.

For an office AU hate-to-lust prompt that i took a few (read: lots of) liberties with. It's sort of an office, it's just an office in Antarctica!

you came and you took this heart by styleslaurent

Louis has a pathetic crush on his daughter's teacher that he fails to hide, but when she decides to help him out, things eventually take a turn for the better.

Run It For The Cardio by PigSlay

“I was right to be nervous around you that first day.” Zayn shakes his head, laughing angrily. “But for some reason I thought it was just because I was nervous about making new friends. Nah, I knew to be nervous about the fact that you’re an annoying tool who only cares about himself and hearing himself talk.”

“Wait a minute,” Louis smiles widely. “You were nervous meeting me?” Zayn has no idea why he’s smiling so widely right now. Being nervous around someone isn’t always a good thing – it could very well mean you’re afraid the other person will rob you or something.

Or the one where Zayn and Louis meet during art class at their university and their lives are never the same again.

Life and Choices by wellthatlookslikefun

"Three hours later, Zayn is questioning both his life and his choices as he brushes ash out of his hair for the second time in as many days.

“You know,” Louis starts, poking delicately at the melted puddle that used to be his cauldron, “I think I’m getting better.” He looks up at Zayn with a faux-innocent look. Zayn just manages to hold back his laughter at Louis’ smudged face and his bright, wide-eyed expression. Louis had very bright eyes, Zayn notices."

Or the one where Zayn somehow starts tutoring Louis in potions and Niall accidentally hits Zayn with an experimental spell that messes things up for a while but then makes everything better.

we've come a long way by graceana

For the rest of the movie Louis barely pays attention. He’s too focused on the words that Harry said. They keep echoing in the back of his mind: There are people who don’t experience sexual attraction. That’s Louis. That’s what he’s got to be. He wants to know more. He wants to meet people who are like him, who know what it feels like and how confused and scared it makes him.

there are two things louis is confused about. the first is his sexuality, or lack there of? he guesses. the second is why all of a sudden he has feelings for his best friend.

prompt: ACEFIC? Louis and Zayn are best friends who hang out all the time and everyone jokes about them being in love/life partners/boyfriends. They're both so hung up on the idea that dating = sex that they're oblivious to the fact that the joke isn't really a joke maybe until one of them starts going on dates with someone else? Maybe...slowly realizing that sex isn't everything, they've been more than friends for a while and figuring some things out. Non-sexual intimacy ok? Okay!

I'm Just A Reader, You're Every Chapter by Austinattack

"Go get Louis away from that prick," Harry slurred, reaching up to poke Zayn's cheek. "And like. Kiss him. You want to. I can tell."

Zayn glared down at Harry, and shrugged his shoulder so he couldn't lean on him anymore. "Fuck off."

Harry smirked and slipped his arms around Zayn. "You do. You liiiiiiike him," he gushed, wiggling closer, while Zayn's face warmed. "You should go kiss him. You should bring him over here and kiss him all over."

"Shut the fuck up, Harry."

Zayn and Louis are uni roommates, Zayn may have a crush, and Louis can't handle it.

Soaking In The Glory Of It All by fancyachatup

Football player and single father Louis Tomlinson meets Zayn Malik, famous artist and single dad.

Louis and Zayn unknowingly go on a date with their kids and then go on a real one.

then i saw your face by countthestars

Louis snatches the picture off the fridge and retreats to the safe haven of his bedroom, stuffing it out of sight in a desk drawer where Niall can’t get his grubby hands on it. And like. So what if he refuses to throw it out? He needs evidence when he confronts Liam next week, doesn’t he? And so what if he’s spent maybe a little more time than necessary studying the pencil lines, tracing his fingers over the lead until it smears. It’s just. He never thought his face was that interesting. Never believed it could, like, inspire someone to recreate it.

or, the one in which Zayn is an art major and Louis has a hard time letting his guard down.

the cold never bothered me anyway by countthestars

Honestly, the whole super power thing is some grass is always greener bullshit. Zayn hadn't realized, before he developed a power, that it'd come with an obligation. It was sort of expected that he would dedicate his life to fighting evil.

Louis, though, he never saw coming.

Stay Quiet, Stay Near by parisienneheart

Zayn and Louis are community college skater bros on a last hurrah roadtrip along the California coastline before Zayn leaves to his transfer university. Louis harbors some angsty feelings about being left behind and realizes he might have more than friendly feelings for his best friend.

Aftermath by StormDancer

In another world, Zayn would be on the bed already, and Louis would be tasting every inch of him. He’d be writhing with pleasure, taken care of properly, shown what true pleasure can be, not just the pretense he’s probably had. He’d show Zayn that even in the camps, far away from the city glamour, there’s real pleasure. He’d have Zayn screaming his name, begging for him. In that other world, when Louis hadn’t won Zayn in a card game. When the chains around Zayn’s wrists that kept him with Louis were emotion, not gold.

two wheels of a different pair (but we're still rolling into something we don't know) by zouee

“Does it get tiring?” Louis asks, voice coming out softer than anticipated.

The response doesn’t come right away. For a moment, Louis thinks Zayn might actually be asleep; pulled under quickly despite their surroundings. Then he thinks Zayn’s making a point to ignore him and he considers leaving - the rejection making his heart sting. But in the next moment Zayn remains stone-still as he replies, mouth only moving slightly.

“What does?”

Louis turns his head, looks at him, “Pretending you don’t care.” _

When an out of town bikie storms into a restaurant placed on the outskirts, he doesn’t expect to meet the boy with bright eyes and devilish smile.

Set in the 1950’s.

you've got a pretty kind of dirty face by zouee

“what are you gonna do, zayn?” louis asks him, now noticing his lack of breath in his voice. he glances down towards zayn’s gun. “you gonna shoot me?”

louis' a bank teller and zayn's a thief.

high hopes by zouee

i know it's crazy to believe in silly things, but it's not that easy

Based off this video clip

Wicked At Midnight by Randominity

In which Louis is turned into a vampire, Nick is unhelpful, there's a rota, and everyone thinks things are going to go smoothly.

All You Have to Do by Randominity

Louis doesn't want to win Zayn over - he just wants to win.

make the world for you by alnima

“Okay, right.” Louis rolls his eyes and stabs his finger into Zayn’s wrist. “You’ve gotten like, a million new tattoos since the break up.”

“So what? I’m always getting new tattoos.”

“You’ve dyed your hair,” Louis says and Zayn runs his hands nervously over the silver hair on top of his head. It wasn’t a drastic decision or anything. And he doesn’t need Louis calling him out on it. “Just trust me, Zayn. This trip will really do you some good, okay?”

Zayn looks at his best friend and looks at the bag on the ground. It’s a crazy idea, it’s rash and absurd but maybe Louis is right. Maybe a trip around the world is just what he needs to figure out how to be Zayn again. He’s not sure himself, not sure about getting on a plane for hours but… He sighs, shaking his head.

“Alright. Yeah, let’s do this.”

Baby Bring Your Body by disarm_d

Zayn and Louis get stoned and switch bodies. In that order.

So Much Of The City Is Our Bodies by disarm_d

A place/ where everything too big to take apart/ had been left behind.

AU set in Toronto, Canada.

Method to the Madness by disarm_d

Louis doesn’t trust himself to know the right way to touch Zayn anymore.

your finest inspiration by carissima

His legs ache a little and he's shattered so he keeps the radio down low as he cruises through the streets until he hits the motorway. It's another two hours to London and he's got a lot of cursing at Zayn to do so he slouches down in his seat and thinks about how dumb Zayn's stupid face is.

like any real love it's ever-changing by annemari

"Do you think if I repeat 'this isn't happening' for long enough it'll make it true?" Louis asks.

The cat—Zayn—moves its tail. Louis doesn't know what that means.

"I have no idea what that means," Louis says.

Zayn turns into a cat. Louis figures some things out.

i count my steps by annemari

Zayn and Louis often play truth or dare to unwind.

Those Meddling Kids by Gorgeous Nerd (gorgeousnerd)

Zayn likes to watch the street from his own windows when he can. He likes it even better when the street watches back, and Louis's the only one to know it.

(Or: Zayn and Louis hook up in the Mystery Machine.)

only fools rush in by gravitycentered

The night feels like it moves quickly, melting away as they all get steadily drunker; Zayn watches the boys eat and laugh and shove each other around and feels suddenly very glad to be with them, incredibly lucky to have all of them to himself.

Especially you, Zayn thinks, looking over at Louis. The bar lights are dim, as usual, but there’s a dull little ceiling lamp above their table and it illuminates Louis just enough as he smiles back.

I'm the Scene, You're the Director by slashter

Zayn has yet to not get a stiffy when he sees Louis on set--just the idea of Louis being so in control of everything, shouting commands at him, walking up to him when he's in a pose and touching him everywhere, moving him around so he looks better--it's definitely somewhat of a fear boner, but in the best way possible. Honestly, he kind of wants Louis to destroy him, and that desire hasn't wavered a bit over the past two years.

[Or the one where Louis tells Zayn what to do, Zayn (usually) fights back, and neither of them can get enough of it]

You Ignite Me And I'll Ignite You by slashter

“Zayn,” Louis repeats, slightly out of breath, once he’s right in front of the boy. It’s only mildly embarrassing. “Louis,” Zayn answers, raising an eyebrow. “On your way to class?” “I--yes,” Louis stammers, then starts walking alongside Zayn. “Um, off to do more art? And stuff? That you do?” Smooth. Zayn laughs. His eyes crinkle up at the corners and Louis wants to drop-kick Harry, he’s so fucking sexually frustrated.

[Or the one where Zayn sells Louis weed and Louis definitely has much more than just a crush]

If Only You Saw What I Can See by slashter

It's almost impressive that Louis hasn't tried to see his own face in a hundred years, because Zayn doesn't know if he'd be able to go a day without looking at him.

downward facing dog by robpatFF

The yoga mat is heavier than he remembers, and dustier, and Zayn realizes it’s been a few good months since he’s been able to do this proper. Been able to stretch out his mat and stretch out his own body and feel the ache of release, the burn in his muscles as he pushes himself past the sting of it and just breathes. His fingers grip around the edge of the mat in anticipation, his shoulders already relaxing as he sets it down in the living room.

come sail away by robpatFF

The hotel faces the beach, and when Zayn looks out he can see the ocean lapping up against the shore, the distinct darkening of the sand where the tide washes in.

rise from your burning fiat by dangerbears

AU of the high school variety. louis and zayn have always been best friends and they always will be, no matter how much time they let pass.

if not the happiest, surely the luckiest by dangerbears

AU. reform boarding school for the obscenely wealthy, essentially. zayn is new and louis is hot shit.

Gravity Always Wins by writeivywrite

The truth is: if they weren’t in a band together, Zayn wouldn’t be friends with someone like Louis.

give this wandering soul a home by sunshineflying

Louis Tomlinson lives in a sleepy town in Essex, near a small uni where all his friends seem to be going – except for him. He thrives on having a social life – with his best friend Liam at his side and the cherubic new boy Harry across the street, life is good. But when autumn comes around and everyone goes off to uni, Louis starts to spiral out of control.

The feeling of being left behind never really goes away, so Louis doubles his efforts to forget, hardly sober for more than a day at a time, and yet life still goes on around him. Louis wants to grow up, he does, it’s just that it’s hard to do when the ones around him are far more successful than he is. It isn't until his mother's harsh ultimatum that Louis is brought back to a sobering reality.

Covering nearly five years, this fic follows all the characters, though Louis most of all, as they work their way through relationships, road blocks, and more coursework than they can sometimes handle to come through alright on the other side. Through a series of ups and downs, Louis and everyone else settle into lives they’re pleased with – a task that several of them didn’t think was possible to accomplish. Inspired by Skins UK.

(I love you) by softly (alexenglish)

There should be a word for a threat that is also a promise. Because that is what I want you to hold me down and do.

(buy your love by playing make believe.) by softly (alexenglish)

I would love you more if you were someone who could love me.

(quiet kisses are so hardcore) by softly (alexenglish)

I laugh along but inside I know that it’s true: Being in love is totally punk rock.

(you know that I’m no good) by softly (alexenglish)

I don’t know how to make things right. So I’ll just keep pretending that nothing’s wrong.

(You can’t start a fire without a spark.) by softly (alexenglish)

I hate trying to put my desire into words when my body knows exactly what to say. Come home.

known you in every life i've lived by leighbot

“I would guess that your magic is stronger here because your soulmate might be within the castle. Maybe your magic is trying to lead you to them.”

Zayn is a newly appointed crown prince and Louis is the first person with grey magic in the kingdom since the Founding Queen herself. Abelwick fic.

what happens in the bathroom by leighbot

Zayn just needs to relieve himself before his lecture starts, but there's someone crying in the stall and he can't just leave them upset.

the time you have wasted for your rose by leighbot

“I’m not a boy.”

“You’re a… girl?” he tries, feeling like he has the wrong answer to a test he didn’t know he was being given.

“No, I’m not a girl, either.”

“Is this a riddle, because I’m shit at riddles to be honest.”

Or, Louis and Zayn work together on a school play and learn that not everyone is as they seem.

your heaven and your oceans, too by leighbot

It usually starts the same for everyone: an uncertain glance, a hint of familiarity, a hesitant step forward and finally an overwhelming sensation of recognition as their souls connect. People have met their soulmates at both very young and very old ages, people have met their soulmates in their prime or when they’re married to someone else or even when they’re nearing their own death. The only rules of soulmates are that everyone has one and everyone meets theirs at some point in their lifetime.

Or, Louis is Emperor and Zayn is his soul mate. That simple, really.

Ice Skating by leighbot

Looking up at Louis now, his face soft and open, Zayn doesn't know how to admit that he doesn't want to feel like a fool. Instead he shakes his head ‘no’ and purses his lips, staring at the skates as if they had personally offended him.

or, the one where Zayn really doesn't want to ice skate but Louis is so pretty and smiles so wide for him and he'll try it, okay? He'll try.

its been a while by neonmoonlight

The only good thing about break is that he doesn't have to be on Twitter constantly and check what people are saying about him. He spends most of his time out on friend dates with Danielle and dodging calls from Simon. He also has more time to spend going to music festivals he's been wanting to go to for years and have a couple day holiday in Vegas.

Based off of Louis "Vegas has broken me ..." tweet.

#1 by dramaturgicallycorrect

“I know what you are,” Mueller growls.

Tommo lifts and slams him back against the bar. Zayn looks around, finds the bartender and the rest of the patrons casually minding their own. Must be business as usual in a place like this.

When Zayn looks back, there’s a knife in his hand, long and thin and shining even in the pub’s dim light. Only when Zayn looks hard enough, it’s not a knife at all but a thin blade, nor is it so much in his hand as it is protruding from it, resting dangerously at Mueller’s pulse point.

Zayn’s heart pounds. He’s a mutant.

[Or issue number one.]

all the stars were crashing by sarcangel

“We should practice,” Louis says. He’s got a faraway look in his eye that doesn’t bode well for anyone, based on Zayn’s newly-formed knowledge of Louis. “Find a place, set up a schedule, all that.”

“What?” Zayn says, not sure where the conversation is exactly headed anymore.

“You know, in a movie - like, this would be our montage sequence,” Louis says, hands everywhere, gesturing wildly. “There’d be some song playing in the background while we spar and gain strength and -”

(and lick sweat off of each other’s necks, Zayn thinks, and then you knock me to the floor and lay on me and)

“Yeah, that’d be sick,” Zayn says, instead, not knowing if he’s more surprised that anything coherent comes out of his mouth or that he’s actually agreed to Louis’ awful plan.

Blow by catholicschoolgirl

“I wonder how it feels sometimes / Must be good to you”

Alternatively: sex, drugs and feelings in the Mystery Machine.

Fangs by catholicschoolgirl

"The days that Louis had spent with Zayn were the best of his life. All 74,035 of them."

Louis loves Zayn, always has, but Zayn might want someone else. Louis does not react positively.

stumbling, looking in the dark by rilla

'Everyone always thinks Louis is just hilarious and cutting and sarcastic when he’s actually just deeply honest and doesn’t like very many things. The only person who ever believed him is Zayn, and Zayn’s long gone now.' University AU.

we've got each other and that's a lot by rilla

Louis is the first person Zayn meets at university. He's definitely trouble. Luckily, Zayn likes trouble.

Everyone Else Isn't You by rilla

'Everyone else isn't you. It turns out that's a huge problem for me.' A little bit of canon zouis, set in February 2016.

no one knows (if you don’t say the words) by words_unravel

Louis wants one last winter holiday with the boys and Zayn's never been one to tell him no.

Would you let me be your world? by geewhizmo

Louis moves to a new city to start college. Her roommate, Zayn, is attractive, intriguing, and totally out of her league.

This was going to be an interesting year.

Make Up Your Heart by FallingLikeThis

You know that saying? Something about not knowing what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone?

Yeah, well fucking fuck that shit, okay?

It’s hard enough losing something, someone, without having that piece of shit sentiment thrown at you from every angle as you grieve. Or punch things. Louis has a tendency to punch things. Or kick things. Like his football. Only he imagines it’s Zayn’s stupid, beautiful, disloyal face.

Into The Black - Bughead Fanfic. CHAPTER TWO.

Chapter One

Betty and Jughead meet again... and again. :)

I’ll be updating on here as well for people who don’t have an AO3, so enjoy!

The first week of school passes by as expected. Classes are classes, they’ve only just begun starting actual work but all of it is simple enough that it doesn’t keep Betty up at night. She’s still on the bottom on the cheer pyramid and Veronica still isn’t in the front dancing, but Cheryl finally caved and put her somewhere in the middle so at least there’s that. Archie still hasn’t heard word from Coach Clayton about the position for captain, but he’s hoping that he’ll be able to prove himself at tonight’s game.

Which is another thing.

Tonight is the first football game of the season and Betty is feeling less than cheerful. She’s not sure what her deal is, but she’s been in a foul mood all day.

“Maybe you’re just hungry,” Veronica offers as she zips up the back of Betty’s cheer uniform. “You didn’t eat much at lunch.” It was true. She had only munched on an apple instead of her usual, but she figures that might have had something to do with Cheryl suggesting that she cut back a little on the food. She didn’t dare mention any of that to Veronica though.

“Maybe,” she agrees quietly. She doesn’t understand why she’s feeling so nervous. It’s not like it’s her first football game. Although it is her first football game with Cheryl. She wonders if that makes any difference.

“Tonight will be fun!” Veronica confirms as she turns Betty around and smiles at her. Betty attempts to smile back. She isn’t sure if it’s believable but Veronica doesn’t push her anymore so she assumes it must be good enough.

“That’s right, V.”

Betty and Veronica share a sharp look before turning around and seeing Cheryl’s bright smile.

“You see, it’s JJ’s first night back on the field and I need us to be perfect. That means Betty, no flopping around in the background and Veronica, if you mess up my pyramid I will have you on water duty for a week.”

“Jeez, Cheryl, boarding school that bad?”

The redhead gives Veronica a glare before smiling sweetly at her. “You have no idea. Anyways, hurry up! See you on the field.” She gives them a final wave and skips off.

“You know,” Veronica says as she grabs her pompoms off the bench, “I think she’s a lot nicer this year.”

Betty snorts before grabbing her own yellow pompoms and following her best friend out of the locker room.

The entire town is at the game which is no surprise really. Friday night is football night. The whole entire town comes out to see the Bulldogs, even those who are never seen at any other community functions. Football is sacred in Riverdale.

It might make other people nervous, but Betty loved being out in front of the whole town on Friday nights. It was nice to be looked at as people would say “Oh, that’s Betty Cooper! She’s following after her sister as a River Vixen and she looks just as lovely.” People would tell her that all the time and it was nice. It was nice to not have to worry about being student body president or what the next issue of the Blue and Gold would be. It was nice to just be Betty Cooper, the River Vixen at the bottom of the pyramid.

They’re almost done with the second quarter and Riverdale is up by twenty points, half thanks to Jason and half thanks to Archie. Betty can’t lie, Archie is an amazing football player but Jason works the field as if it’s his. It’s almost funny to watch them compete against each other on the field while somehow still helping each other out.

The clock runs out and buzzes, announcing halftime and Betty feels refreshed. The band is performing for halftime so the Vixens get a few minutes for themselves.

Or maybe not.

“Betty, could you be a dear and please get us a few waters from the concession stand?” Cheryl says with a sickly sweet smile as she bats her eyes. It’s funny how someone can look like an angel and the devil at the same time.

“I’ll go with you,” Veronica offers but Cheryl shuts that one down quickly.

“Oh no, you don’t. We need to have a serious talk about learning how not to step on someone’s toes.”

Veronica rolls her eyes and Betty sends her a smile, suddenly not feeling so bad about being the one on water duty.

The entire crowd is still up in the stands, not wanting to miss the band perform. They won’t get up until the band is finished so Betty has a time to get to the concession stand before the line starts. She’s pleased to see that there are only a few people in line right now and she happily takes her place behind an elderly couple.

She pulls her phone out of her jacket pocket and checks to see if she has any messages. Sure enough there’s a text from her mom telling her to smile more, one from Kevin suggesting that they go to Pop’s together after the game, and one from Polly who’s complaining about a professor who’s given them a 1,500 word essay already.

She laughs as she offers her sympathy to Polly and wishes her luck on the paper.

“Blondie, a cheerleader? Color me surprised.”

She can’t help it, she lets out a loud yelp as her phone nearly tumbles out of her hands. She spins around and comes face to face with a boy that she’s never seen before in her life. She studies his face and is about to yell at him until he gives her a sweet smile and then she recognizes him immediately.

He’s the boy from the diner.

“Crashing Northside football games just because you have no life?” Betty finds herself biting back before she thinks about it. “Color me surprised.”

The boy laughs out right at her words and it annoys her. He’s a handsome boy with a nice laugh, and under different circumstances she might have even complimented it, but Betty knows the kind of people that he runs with. No one good can run with a crowd like that.

“You’re pretty feisty for a good girl, aren’t you?”

Good girl. Of course. That’s all anyone ever sees when they look at her. She wonders if it’ll be the only thing they ever see.

“Don’t you see the cheerleader uniform?” She questions as she points down to it. “I think it speaks for itself. Now if you’ll excuse me.” She makes to go around him, since he’s somehow made his way in front of her but he simply blocks her off, grinning widely.

“Did I do something to offend you?”

Betty stares at him with a blank look. For the second time since she’s met him, she wonders if this guy is serious.

“Besides the fact that you nearly killed me with that deathtrap bike of yours? You’re completely rude and have no respect for anyone.”

“I don’t?” He questions, eyebrows raised.

“No. Or else you would have moved when I first asked you to that day at the diner. That’s what a polite person would do.”

“If I recall correctly,” he says as bores his eyes into hers, “you didn’t exactly ask so nicely.”

“Only because you ignored me at first even though we both know that you heard me,” Betty says. “Your whole attitude is rude! You talking to me right now is rude.”

“Is it?”

“Yes. So please get out of my way.”

She’s shocked when he does what she asks, a small frown on his face. She doesn’t think about it though and instead focuses on her task at hand.

It’s a freshmen girl who’s working the concession stand that Betty’s seen around the halls a few times. She offers her a warm smile and orders a case of waters off of the cheerleading budget. The girl hands them over to her and Betty takes them after waving goodbye.

She’s just passed the bleachers when the godforsaken voice is back by her side.

“Those look heavy. Need help?”

She turns to glare at the motorcycle boy and simply readjusts her grip on the case of waters.

“Don’t ever assume I need anything from you. I can assure you that carrying a case of waters isn’t hard work. I think my little girl muscles can take care of it.”

“I wasn’t trying to say that you couldn’t-“

“Look, can you please just leave me alone? I don’t know you and I don’t know why you keep harassing me but it’s getting kind of weird now.”

She turns around and is just about to walk away before he speaks up again.

“I’m sorry about the diner. I was a jerk, you were right.” She turns to face him, to see if he’s being sarcastic, but the look on his face is genuine. “I was rude and the whole trick with my bike was really reckless and I didn’t stop to think about how it might have bothered you or even possibly hurt you.”

“Why do it?” She questions.

He just shrugs. “To look cool?”

“You didn’t,” she says softly, not as mean anymore. He just nods as if he was well aware of this fact and maybe he was.

“I’m Jughead,” he offers out of the blue.

“Jughead?” Betty questions, a smile playing at her lips before she can stop herself.

“Yeah. You said you didn’t know me so there. Now you know my name. That’s something.”

“Yeah,” she agrees. “It is.” He stares at her expectantly and that’s when she realizes that he’s probably waiting for her to return the introduction. “I’m Betty.”

Jughead laughs. “Betty?”

“Yes? Is that funny, Jughead?” It doesn’t have any heat behind it and he smiles at her.

“Nice to meet you, Betty.”

She opens her mouth to say something back, but then she hears the shrill sound of Cheryl Blossom’s voice.

“Where’s Betty? I’m thirsty! Somebody go find her now!”

She gives Jughead an apologetic smile before turning away. “I have to go! Bye, Jughead!”

She races back to the track as fast as she can while carrying the heavy case. She kind of wishes that maybe she had taken Jughead up on his offer to help, but then again she’s not so sure how that would have worked out with her friends and also her parents who could probably see everything from the stands.

“There you are, you troll!” Cheryl gasps out. “What took you so long?”

“Bathroom break,” Betty lies, but Cheryl isn’t even paying attention anymore.

Betty grabs two bottles of water and walks over to where Veronica is sitting on the sideline bench.

“Hey,” she greets as she hands one bottle over to her best friend. “You okay?”

“Yeah, just Cheryl being her lovely self. Have you seen Archie on the field? Do you think he’s doing good? He seems a bit nervous, but I think he’s doing good.”

Betty felt the admiration she always did when Veronica worried over Archie like this. It was rare, she thought, to have someone care about you the way Archie and Veronica cared for each other. Of course she knew that they cared tremendously for her, but it was different between just the two of them even if they didn’t want to admit it.

“I think he’s doing great. Jason definitely has a run for his money. That’s for sure. Archie’s dedicated and everyone knows how much he loves football and the entire team. He’s golden,” Betty assures her.

Veronica just nods as she takes a sip from her water. Betty almost wants to tell her about her conversation with Jughead, but she decides against it. Veronica thinks a certain way of the Southside Serpents and Betty doesn’t think that one decent conversation she had with Jughead is enough to change that, especially not after the stunt on Monday.

Instead they sit in silence together before halftime ends and they take their positions back on the track.

The rest of the game flies by and no one is surprised to see that Riverdale won. The crowd is cheering, the boys are hollering, Coach Clayton is talking animatedly with his assistant coaches, and the River Vixens wave goodbye to the crowd with a final cheer.

Betty gathers her pompoms into her athletic bag and swings it over her shoulder before following Veronica onto the sideline. Coach Clayton is now talking to the boys just like he does after every game.

“Hey!” Kevin greets as he walks over to them. “That was some game, huh?”

“You were actually paying attention?” Veronica asks with a laugh.

“Of course! You know how much I love America’s favorite sport.” Betty and Veronica both give Kevin a suspicious look and he smirks at them. “Especially since said sport happens to have not one only hot redhead on it, but two. I never thought I’d be so glad to see Jason Blossom, but boarding school has definitely done that boy some good. Have you seen the way he’s filled out his uniform?”

“Oh, my gosh!” Betty squeals with laughter.

“Kevin!” Veronica groans. “He’s the enemy!”

“Haven’t you ever heard of sleeping with the enemy? It’s a classic trope.” He winks, causing both girls to erupt into a fit of laughter.

“What’s so funny?”

All three of them jump up but are relieved to see that it’s just Archie, sweaty and smiling.

“Archie!” Veronica screeches as she literally jumps into his arms. Kevin and Betty both share a knowing look. “You were amazing!”

“Thanks, Ronnie. Couldn’t do it without my favorite cheerleader.”

This time Betty sticks her tongue out and makes a disgusted face while Kevin rolls his eyes and pretends to swoon.

“What about me?” Betty pouts, breaking apart her best friends’ moment on purpose. “Am I suddenly chopped liver?”

“Only the best chopped liver!” Archie hollers as he sets down Veronica and brings Betty into a hug. He purposely makes sure to wipe his sweaty face against hers and she lets out a squeal as she tries to wriggle her way out of his grasp.

“Let me go!”

“But my chopped liver was feeling left out!”

Betty laughs and looks over to Veronica for help. “Ronnie, tell him to let me go!”

“Archie, stop torturing Betty. She looks miserable.”

“You know I’m feeling kind of left out,” Betty hears Kevin whisper off to the side which earns a loud snort from Veronica. Thankfully Archie finally gives in and decides to set down Betty which she is grateful for.

“What are we doing tonight?” Archie asks as he swings his arm around Kevin who starts to fan himself jokingly.

“I actually have to head home,” Veronica pouts as she swats Kevin with her pompoms. “My mom wants us to have a movie night together. I think she’s feeling lonely.”

“Betty and I were going to head out to Pop’s for some milkshakes,” Kevin says. “You wanna come?”

“Nah, I better get home too. My dad was working late tonight so he couldn’t come out. He’s probably dying to hear about how it went.”

They all say goodbye before parting ways and Kevin and Betty make their way over to her car, which is fresh out of the shop and ready for cruising again.

“You know, Betty, there’s a reason this car is always in the shop,” Kevin says as they strap their seat belts in. “It’s ancient.”

“Leave my car alone. She’s perfect.” See, Betty is completely aware of the fact that her car is a little outdated and more often than not it decides to give out on her before actually getting her to her destination, but she refuses to part with it. It’s her first car and no matter how unreliable it is, she loves it.

Tonight though, it does the job and gets them to Pop Tate’s without a problem. Betty silently thanks the old car and runs a hand along the hood to show her appreciation.

Inside it’s full of families and friends sitting together at booths, talking loudly while chewing on their food; no doubt excited about the outcome of Riverdale’s first game of the season.

Betty and Kevin take a seat at an empty booth in the middle of the diner and immediately settle into easy conversation. It’s a great end to an otherwise weird week.

Saturday’s are Betty’s favorite days. Her parents spend most of the day over at the Register and so it’s usually just her home alone by herself. Sometimes she’ll work on her baking, sometimes she’ll have a movie marathon, sometimes she invites Veronica and the guys over. Saturday’s are for anything.

Today it’s for a run over by Sweetwater River.

She hasn’t been out for a good run lately and she misses the scenery that the woods has to offer her. Her parents are always telling her that she should stick running at the high school track because it’s less dangerous, but Riverdale High’s track just doesn’t give her the same fresh air and beautiful scene that the woods do. Besides it’s Riverdale. Nothing bad ever happens in Riverdale.

She had asked Kevin to come out with her, but he was marathoning some classic movies on TV and she knew Veronica wouldn’t be one for running in the woods so she was all alone. She definitely wasn’t complaining though. Running alone allowed her to get lost in her thoughts. Lately she felt like her mind was running out of control with the way things were at home and with how her parents kept pushing her to be the perfect daughter they always wanted.

She loves Polly more than anyone in the world and she admires her for sticking with her heart and doing what she wanted, but sometimes she can’t help but wonder if her parents would be so hard on her if Polly had just followed the rules instead of acting out.

She’s nearing the river now, running turning into a slight jog as How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths plays in her ears. The water is calm today which is a bit different from the usual rapids that flow through it. Most people don’t really play around the river, but it’s sunny outside and she yearns to at least dip her feet into it.

Slowly, she toes off her Nike shoes and socks before pulling her earbuds out and placing her phone next to them. Just like she suspected, the water is nice and cool as she steps into it. She closes her eyes and smiles as the sun hits her just right. It won’t be long before the river freezes over and she makes sure to enjoy this moment while she can.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone look so content while standing in rapids before.”

Betty jumps up, startled for a moment, but once she turns around and sees that it’s just Jughead standing in front of her, she gives him an unimpressed look.

“They’re hardly rapids.” She takes note of the leash Jughead is holding onto that it attached to a small dog and she gives him a smile. “Taking your dog for a walk? Not something I’d imagine a Southside Serpent doing.”

Jughead gives her a hard look. “We’re people, Blondie. We do things just like everyone else.”

Betty just nods and moves to get out of the water. Her feet are still wet so she doesn’t put on her socks, instead she takes a seat on the grass and stretches out her legs. She’s not sure what she’s expecting Jughead to do, leave maybe, but instead he takes a seat next to her and watches as his dog goes and stares out at the water.

“What’s his name?”

“Hotdog.”

Betty laughs. “Hotdog?”

“Hey, don’t make fun! He’s like an honorary Serpent himself.” Jughead smiles to himself. “So what are you doing out here by yourself? Hasn’t anyone ever told you it’s kind of dangerous?”

“Hardly,” Betty replies with an eye roll. “You’re out here by yourself, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, but who’s going to mess with me? Besides I have Hotdog here.” He tugs on the a little bit and Hotdog turns around, giving a little yelp in agreement.

“Yeah, well you’re the only person I’ve ran into so far. You seem to be everywhere these days.” She’s joking around. Kind of. She had never seen Jughead before, but since the day at the diner she’s ran into him twice already and it’s only been a week.

“We must have similar interests, Betty Cooper.”

Betty gives him a guarded look. “I never told you my last name.”

“Oh please,” Jughead snorts, “like you ever had to. Everyone knows who the Coopers are; even Southside Serpents.”

She hates the way that his words are true. It just adds to the pressure that she already feels everyday of her life. She wonders, not for the first time, what it’d be like to not be a Cooper, to not feel like the weight of everyone’s world was on your shoulders. It seems like a wonderful life.

“And you?”

Jughead hums at her question.

“What’s your last name?”

“Jones,” he replies easily. It’s such a simple name, one that sounds like it’d be so easy to live up to. She wonders if it is.

“Jughead Jones,” she whispers to herself. “That’s a nice name.”

Jughead just shrugs, smile falling slightly off his face.

“Why do you talk to me?” Betty asks. “I mean, I don’t mind it, not at all, but it’s a bit strange, don’t you think?”

“Why would it be strange?” He questions sincerely. “Because we’re obviously exactly the same, you know.”

“Obviously.”

Jughead pauses for a moment and then shrugs. “Why not talk to you? You’re cool.”

The comment is so innocent, so simple, that it completely takes Betty off-guard. She doesn’t think that anyone has ever referred to her as “cool”. Uptight, snobby, prude, goody-two shoes were all words that were most often used to describe her. Cool was different, cool was nice.

“This is odd,” she says with a laugh, although she isn’t even sure what ‘this’ is. A friendship possibly? She wasn’t sure. She didn’t know if two people like her and Jughead could ever be friends but for this moment, it was nice.

“If you think so.”

Maybe it was a little odd, but odd was so different from what she was used to that she would welcome it with open arms.

“Is this how you usually spend your Saturday afternoons?” She asks, changing the subject.

“Kind of. It just depends.”

She’s about to ask what it depends on, but then she realizes. It must depend on the Serpents, that’s what Jughead isn’t saying. She can clearly see that he doesn’t want to elaborate on his sentence so she doesn’t push it.

“Same,” she agrees. “I don’t usually get to come run.”

“Busy life as Betty the Cheerleader?” He jokes with a smile. He has a such a nice smile. It’s so boyish and cheerful. Betty shakes her head, thinking back to his question.

“Hey, being on Cheryl Blossom’s cheer squad is hard work!” She says with a laugh as she nudges his shoulder. “The first week back to school is always kind of hectic. Getting back on track with all the clubs and homework and then helping my parents out at the Register every now and then, it can get a bit much.” Jughead nods along with her words, listening to everything she says. “Sometimes I just need to get away.”

“Yeah,” he agrees. “High school sucks.”

“You’re in high school?” She asks, actually surprised. She wasn’t sure if she was expecting Jughead to either have already graduated or to be a dropout, but either way she’s shocked to hear that he’s still a student.

“Senior year,” he confirms.

“You don’t go to Riverdale.”

“Good eyes,” he says with a smile. “I go to Southside High.” Betty must make a face at that because Jughead smirks at her. “It’s not that bad. It’s just like any other high school.”

“Is it?” She asks, unbelieving. She doesn’t want to sound like she’s picking on Jughead’s school or anything, but she’s heard horror stories. Southside High definitely isn’t a place she would ever like to be.

“Yeah. We have our cliques, the shitty food, and the annoying teachers. We might look a little rough, but we’re still just high school kids.”

She wonders if maybe the same goes for the Serpents. She doesn’t ask though.

Suddenly Hotdog starts barking and pawing at Jughead’s torn black jeans.

“I better go,” he says as he starts to stand. “Hotdog’s probably getting tired. We’ve been out for a while.” Betty nods as she grabs her socks and shoes and stands up herself.

“This was nice,” she says and it must take Jughead by surprise from the way his eyes widen slightly. “It’s nice to talk to someone who’s different.”

“Good or bad?” Jughead asks as he adjusts his beanie. Betty’s about to ask him what he means until she realizes it must be in reference to her calling him different.

“Not sure yet,” she confirms. “But either way, it was nice.”

Jughead nods. “I’ll see you around, Betty Cooper.”

She just nods back with a smile and watches as Jughead walks away, Hotdog prancing on next to him. They look like a nice little picture. It makes Jughead look innocent, normal, just like anyone else and it dawns on her for the first time, that maybe he is. Despite the leather jacket he wears, and the scary biker gang, maybe Jughead Jones is just another high school kid.

And so Betty finds herself hoping that Jughead’s words are true. Riverdale’s a small town after all. He’ll be around.

Fish....or cut bait!

Been an interesting couple of weeks, hasn’t it? I’ve been around, just a bit too busy to comment with football season right around the corner, I do have a day job after all. Yet with folks acting the fool all over the place I do think it’s time for another PR lesson.

I don’t know who’s running the PR show at Outlander – I have an idea – but I do know one thing, they’re floundering and it’s not completely their fault. Mr. Heughan told on himself the other day with his statement in that lovely little interview.

“Say yes to everything.”

It’s a studio’s and agent’s dream. It’s PR nightmare, but it can be managed if you’re smart about it…which I’m afraid the Starz PR team is not! I have a theory about what’s going on with the Starz/Lionsgate/Sam/Cait mess so let me explain.

First off…. let me tell you what I’ve been doing -the Falcon’s first pre-season game is the 10th so I’ve been setting the talking points for all the upcoming interviews. That’s right, even at a sports level the interviewers are told what they can and cannot talk to the players about. What does that tell you? It tells you that if an interviewer asked whether Sam or Cat were together it was because they were told too by Starz PR, pure and simple! PR sets the narrative, so with that in mind, let’s look at what PR is trying to tell us.

PR wants us to know that Sam and Cait are “obviously” not together and to bring home that point they have Sam and Cait state emphatically in interviews that they aren’t together (pay no attention to their co-stars who have trouble keeping straight faces through all this) and they trot out the blonde in a couple of scenarios so staged her ex-boyfriend found it necessary to throw a little shade.

Now my mind immediately goes to the “why” of them setting this narrative. Why do they want us to think Sam’s hooked up with a 28-year-old blonde that really does nothing for him but make me roll my eyes at his taste in women? Could this narrative be simply because Sam’s in love? Nah, don’t buy that for a second. Sure, Sam posted a pic on Instagram, but did he tag MM? Has he ever? Did he call her by name? Has he ever, once indicated he has a girlfriend or significant other while avowing he and Cait are just pals? A Little tip here people, if you’re going to try to sell this gal to me as his amore, for the love of God get some body language tips from somebody! And don’t use Hargrave, that’s who HiddleSwift used and they were about as believable as a tutu on a crocodile. Oh, and my favorite part, we had those lovely posed pics but the one candid shot had Sam on one side of the helicopter and her on the other and we’re supposed to believe it was because of weight distribution….um okay. Add to that mentions that his brother was originally supposed to accompany him on this outing and the fact that Sam and MM are both represented by the same agent doesn't help sell the “love” to me either. But seriously they could be dating, who knows...they just don’t sell it too well if they are!

Okay, rant over, back to my theory. So why the push of this narrative? Let’s look at what’s going on in Sam’s life now.

The new movie. Let’s not pretend for a second that Sam’s part in this movie isn’t due to the Starz/Lionsgate connection – I’m not that dumb – are you? And I’m not so dumb that I don’t think Lionsgate doesn’t realize what star potential they have in the boy, but here’s the problem. Outlander, while having a worldwide MASSIVE fan base, has a fan base of women who are mostly over the age of 35. To make Sam the star they want him to be, he’s got to appeal to a younger audience (18-35) as well and with Jamie and Claire aging in the show…it’s a dilemma - at least to the middle-aged male idiots that run things. They can’t change Outlander and have Jamie run off after some younger woman (and not risk getting tarred and feathered) so they change the personal. They concentrate on the shallow – his looks and his physique. They insist that Sam “obviously” couldn’t be with a beautiful, intelligent, successful, woman nearing forty (whether they actually are or not, they can’t even allow the perception). No way! (It makes me wonder, is that what caused Cait’s attitude - not her ire at fans, but at the underlying reason for having to make the remarks in the first place?)

See, I think it’s a battle of wills between Lionsgate and Starz when it comes to PR, Lionsgate wanting to quash the Sam/Cait rumors so they can push the Sam agenda and try to appeal to the younger crowd. NOT a good move in my opinion – especially when the movie is just filming – way too early for such a move.

Starz had it right in the beginning, play off Sam/Caits’ natural chemistry. Are Jamie and Clair such a timeless tale of romance that even your actors even fell under its power? The problem now is fans – even though they say they don’t – relate the actors to the roles. Sam pulling away from Outlander will be emotionally perceived as Jamie pulling away from Claire – and it will hurt them, it already has – why do you think we’re getting all these spoiler pics. It’s like when you’re fishing, you put bait on your hook and if you don’t get any fish…you keep throwing out more bait. Right now, Starz is throwing out bait. The less fish they get…the bigger the bait. Problem is, they haven’t figured out just what kind of bait they need yet.

Remember last time I told you silence was golden. Well for actors and shows it’s the kiss of death…if you want Starz - this time Lionsgate as well -to change its bait, stop eating what you don’t like. You don’t like seeing Sam/MM…please for the love of heaven quit putting those nasty comments on her Instagram, you may think you’re hurting her but all you’re doing is raising her Q-score. IGNORE her, and if you want to send Sam a message about her, ignore him anytime she posts a picture insinuating she’s with him. Shower the show with love, go quiet on Sam. Shower Cait with love, pretend MM doesn’t exist. And let me be clear when I say ignore, I mean be quiet, don’t say her name, don’t comment on her blog, don ‘t check her twitter or her instagram, behave like you did before we knew who she was! When the show throws you bait you like, eat it loudly – ignore what you don’t like. And trust me, all the social media numbers are checked on a daily basis, probably twice a day I would guess, morning and afternoon.

What would I do, if I had the com so to speak? (a little Star Trek reference in case you know who gets a hold of this blog). First off, a certain blonde would fade into the wood work. Sam interacting with younger males in the workout and sports area would go farther in endearing him to younger women than dating a quasi-child. I’d go with attendance at lots of football games in the company of 20-something males and females and an appearance at the World Series. A sighting of Cait visiting Sam in Budapest – or wherever else he’s filming the movie…. maybe a picture that may or may not be her. Then . just before the Outlander premiere…. a fan picture, fuzzy but one you can just make out of the two of them in an embrace….NO more comments of their personal lives period and let people think what they will!

….and that’s why they pay me the big bucks.
