Despair Time: Divergence (Part 2)
Welcome back for Part 2 of DRDT: Divergence! In case you missed out on the first installment and the context for what this wacky little series is, you can find it all right here.
In the meantime, Hu has something important to say, revelations are made, no one knows what to do, and Ace will probably pass out again.
TW: mentions of suicide, self-harm, graphic depictions of violence, unreality (sort of)
(Also, if viewing on mobile, be sure to open it in the Google Docs app! It might just be a me thing, but when I open it through Tumblr on my phone, all the sprites are compressed into terrible quality. Which not only isn't pleasant to look at, there also might be some custom sprite edits made for this Divergence alone, so it's best to be able to see them in all their glory!)

So I haven't commented on this bc I wanted to see if it could get worse, but I want to have a serious talk with the people who write the script of Tears of the Kingdom bc I may be an amateur writer and not a professional, but the number of times I've seen words repeated in either one sentence or paragraph after paragraph is doing my head in.
Babes, you do not need to say 'Power' every 5 minutes!! It gets annoying very quickly and it makes the word lose any and all meaning/significance.
Idk if this is just something I do but consider it good practice, I will go over things I've written, notice I have used the same word twice, and then substitute it for something else.
For example, if I wrote:
"He was in incredible pain, which made talking incredibly difficult."
I'll change it to:
"He was in agonising pain, which made talking incredibly difficult."
Like. Whoever is writing up this dialogue most certainly isn't winning any awards in my books lmao. I'm enjoying the game, yeah! But the writing is so incredibly meh bc of that.

okokok now I’ve stopped crying pixel tears about Lewie shacking up with another girl during casa, I’ve actually had a thought and remembered something. (obvs there’s gonna be some casa bombshell spoilers here)
There is a chance, I repeat: A CHANCE the li we left behind is NOT automatically going for Flo and will be single and waiting for us (even though they don’t know we’re coming back, I hope they just can’t move on lol)
Here’s what we know:
- ozzy is pictured with a casa girl not seen in the leaks. So we can guess he sticks with Grace.
- elliot is seen staring at some casa titties. We know from @oliverslove Ivy is returning, we just don’t know when. Would make sense for elliot to switch to her. He didn’t know her before she left, the other boys did. plus I get couple goals with the two pale, glasses wearing people, idk.
SO, that leaves the two remaining boys. Your li and Amelia’s li. Flo is 100% a casa girl in the main villa as she’s got a postcard. So one of those boys is bringing her back.
Amelia, soz hun but better you than me. May the best twin win xox

ok @caffeineecold Suitehearts thoughts (with only a small helping of Kobra bc I'm still kinda thinking all those dynamics out... soz)
ok so in my mind palace (kskfjsfk) the Suitehearts as a group are both known for 1) racing, bc of Sandman ( and on rare occasion Crab also I think) and 2) being the closest thing the Zones have to like... an ambulance. bc in my headcanon I kinda strayed away from the TV show thing (sorry) EXCEPT that that's where Benzedrine took his name from. bc he was a final-year med resident in the City and got mixed up in an experimental thing that went wrong and kinda just... really really messed up his head for a long time. like even years after he still has affects of it (brain fog, really bad dissociation, stuff like that) but when he first ran for the Zones it was like. REALLY BAD. he was really effed up. luckily for him (and eventually, jokingly, maybe unluckily too lol) he was found by this weird loner kid who called himself Mr. Sandman. Benzedrine thought of him as "the boy with two mouths" for A While after they met even though he Knew Sandman's name, it just... wouldn't quite click at first
(and actually as a matter of fact my version of Benzedrine has a lot of issues regarding names in general, especially his own bc he still feels connected to his City name and who he was before and feels weirdly disassociated with his Killjoy/chosen name sometimes, even though he specifically chose that name bc it's still similar to his City name. it's weird. his brain is weird about names, let's leave it at that)
Sandman kinda showed Benzedrine the ropes and how Zone life works, which was great for both of them because 1) Benze woulda frickin died on his own, and 2) Sandman at this point didn't really have any close friends. I'm thinking he knew Kobra and the Four at this point from the crashtrack but that's always been a little bit different, Sandman chose to be a lone wolf but racetrack friendships/truce/whatever that whole thing is are still different than having a crew to call your own, yknow?
so at this point, Sandman basically is his own mechanic. he thinks all his friends are dead. last he heard, his best friend growing up had been caught and Drac'd. this makes him EXTRA pissy at the track and leads to some escalating tensions with Kobra in particular in that Sandman's response to grief is uh... basically he gets mad at the first person he can, which when Kobra beats him in a race is... yeah. you get what I'm saying. cue "freckle, freckle, what makes you so special?" and the thematic resonance of "I'm gonna leave you," because Sandman! has this massive issue! of blaming other people! for crap that's not their (or anyone's) fault! he's mad at Donnie for leaving him in the worst way possible. he's mad at the people he knew for dying. he's mad at Kobra for being effing better than him at his favorite thing in the world that he's put all of his heart into. and that turns into a heightened level of resentment and a whole lot of other issues
(which is also a whole thing bc it means the Rest of the Four AND Benzedrine have to witness/put up with this crap and ngl they're all deeply annoyed by it. this is how Benze and Jet become friends, in a loose sense of the term, because they both need someone to bitch to about their weird friends skfkdkgmsk)
anyway so. spoiler alert: Donnie isn't frickin dead. and his distant cousin, one H. Shoe Crab, nearly died saving him from BLI. Crab is mute bc of this, Donnie, once he's back in his right mind, will never forgive himself. even though it was, yknow, out of his control (idk how it works in "canon" but I'm pretending you can save people who've been Drac'd ok? ok).
there's a whole... series of events I haven't figured out yet that lead to a reunion. Sandman is over the moon about having his best friend back (and he also knew Crab, way back when, but not as well) so they very naturally and also very chaotically end up becoming a crew — which is great, bc Dr Benze has this wild idea to use his medical knowledge to help anyone in the Zones who needs it. it's kind of a space that needs filled bc most organized crews have A Medic, but usually they're just... doing their best with very limited learning and recources. an actual doctor? with training? who knows how to do the hard things like amputate a limb Properly or fight a viral infection? that's like... insane and incredible. and also a little bit puzzling to the others, but they're all 100% in after a bit of convincing. it's uh... pretty chaotic and there's definitely some crap that could be considered medical malpractice but like they're saving lives however they can and it's not like they have general anesthesia in the Zones so... yeah.
and Donnie absolutely is Sandman's mechanic once they reunite. like they used to fix old stuff up like that for funsies as little kids there's no way you're keeping them from teaming up on the track when they have the chance to. it's a large hand in Donnie's healing process honestly.
(Crab ends up as basically lowkey the nurse to Benzedrine's doctor btw. those two have an insane dynamic going on. guy with language issues + guy who speaks really sloppy Zone sign language bc he's still learning it? oh it's a mess. they're so sweet. I'm rotating them in my head)
they're also kinda the reversal of my version of the Fab Four bc in my universe Ghoul is the only one of them born in the Zones meanwhile with the Suitehearts Benze is the only one of them NOT born there. it's fun

I'm so glad the PJO show stuck the landing. I've seen a lot of shows lately that have a habit of, uh, not doing that, so I'm really happy I liked the finale episode!
(Also because I watched it with my mum, and she hasn't seen anything but the first two episodes and my rambling recaps, so I'm glad my show didn't disappoint me in front of her lol)
MAJOR SPOILERS for the PJO finale past this point!
There are only two things I can think of that I didn't really like, and that Gabe's- whole thing, basically, soz. I get why they toned him down for the visual format, and I'm not trying to undercut the actual abuse that is still happening, I just personally like Sally turning her piece of shit abusive husband to stone and then selling his statue to get money for a degree lol.
And then also the dropped police plot line is a bit iffy. They probs cut it for time or smth, but it just felt weirdly unresolved. Like, they set it up so well, and then they don't follow through at all, just straight up don't mention it again. Idk, maybe they'll bring it back for the 2nd season? Not sure how that'd work tho. It's a minor issue, but it did feel strange to me.
The rest of it was very well done though, imo!
It starts with Luke saying The Thing but different?? Giving The Last Day of Summer from The Lightning Thief musical vibes fr fr.
The fight with Ares was hella cool, with the awesome wave, and the choreography was pretty well done to my completely inexperienced eye. The ichor looked cool, very handy that it's gold so they can show 'blood' on screen and still keep it PG lol. I was cheering Percy on so hard.
They did the flashbacks so well. Honestly, every episode's done the flashbacks well, but Luke? Oh yeah. As soon as he showed up on screen, helping Percy, preparing him, I knew the end of the episode was gonna hit so hard.
The trio is still amazing. They play off of each other so well, and all their actors are so talented!
The necklace!!
Ok, Percy had zero chill on Olympus. He straight up said his shit to Zeus, knowing he'd probably be killed for it and not giving a single fuck because that was his world and his friends and his mum that were going to be hurt if this stupid war continued, and he was going to make Zeus listen even if it killed him.
And then Poseidon steps in and surrenders and when I tell you I audibly gasped I'm not kidding. Like- The gods don't just back down when they're fighting, that's not how their power dynamic works, how the glory system works, how their pride and respect and status works. I'm probs not explaining it very well 'cause it's like 1:30 am rn, (I really should stop writing these essays at midnight lol) but yeah. Poseidon was giving up a lot. And he didn't care. Because that was his son, and his son was worth more than any glory could give him.
Also, funny side note: after they started speaking what I assume is greek, and then switched back to english, my brain for some reason decided to completely forgot my native language and just- didn't process english anymore. I kid you not, it just registered as sounds without meaning. Completely alien. I sat there without understanding the next four sentences they said until my brain clicked back in and I was like, ohhh, they're speaking english. And then I had to rewind and listen to it again lol.
Zeus smugly saying he'll announce his "swift and crushing victory" and Poseidon rolling his eyes was so sibling energy lol.
... So, does Poseidon yeeting Percy back to camp without answering mean he's too overcome by emotion to say 'yes' or that he's too guilty to admit 'no'?
I like how all the cheering and clapping is muffled out by the music at first, because Percy's still shocked that he's actually alive. It's only when Annabeth hugs him that he fully processes the fact that he's safe.
Gonna be honest, I'd completely forgotten that they thought Clarisse was the Lightning Thief. They did a good job of reminding me though.
Yeah, Luke's betrayal was executed better here than the books imo. First of all, the lighting is immaculate. The past episodes had an issue with night scenes and being super dark, but the fireworks lighting up selective scenes really works.
I like how Percy figures it out first, and almost challenges Luke to deny it. And Luke is- not prepared. He had a plan. He was going to ease into this. And it hurts all the more because Percy is scared and angry and betrayed and Luke never wanted to hurt him.
What's done so well is that you can see how Luke didn't want to fight- and then Percy mentioned Hermes and Luke just snapped. Trigger button. Wrong thing to say. Now, suddenly Percy wasn't the 12 year old kid Luke was trying to save and help, he was just someone who'd said the name of That Man and now Luke was just bitter pain and rage.
Also, Percy accidentally cutting Luke - with a sword that can't even harm him anyway - and immediately apologising, and then Luke only seeing a weakness to exploit and going in for the kill. That hurt.
Ok wait imma copy paste a small ramble I posted earlier to here because it stands true. Here we go:
A bit rambling, a might not make much sense, but had a thought about that scene when Annabeth saves Percy and reveals herself. There's two things that stuck out to me; she didn't let herself show any emotion but anger, and she'd been there the whole time but only interfered just then.
She'd been suspicious enough of something to go against the plan and follow them. She heard Luke confess his betrayal while invisible and alone. She heard his true feelings about the gods, about their parents, and now after everything - after Athena. After Percy - she understood him so much more and so much less at the same time. She'd been locked in shocked grief that froze her, and the only thing that snapped her out of it was seeing Percy beneath the blade of the person they'd both trusted, and the need to protect burnt away the numbness long enough for her to compartmentalise and lock away everything but anger so she could move.
Luke's face though. Oof. All I could think was "She's like a little sister to me." (Don't crucify me if that's not his exact wording, it's almost 2am now, I'm tiiiired.) But yeah, the fact that he probably could've taken them both if he truly wanted, but the moment he saw her and her betrayed, furious face, and then looked down and saw the kid he'd been about to kill- He just ran.
The parting of ways, with the trio at Thalia's tree, bright plans for the future, hugging and smiling and making a pact to come back to each other, no matter what- that was so toothrottingly sweet.
And then the cabin scene? Heartwarming af. The mother and son duo is just. You can feel their desperate relief and love for each other. It's so good.
A bit wary when Kronos showed up, wasn't sure if the whole prior stuff was 'just a dream' but I'm guessing Percy was just remembering how they reunited, and Kronos hijacked his nice memory. That was well done, too. Percy was just so Done with this guy, like c'mon, give the kid a break. And then him waking up with his mum again - like I said; they're so sweet. The fact that this happens often enough for them to have a dedicated book lmao. Also, him calling Kronos grandpa was on point.
It exits out of the window Sally was sitting on! And it's raining!! (Also, another side note, but whenever something exits with a window I just think of The Last of Us episode 3).
Ok so they have to make a second season. It's the law. They gotta.
Hmm. Think that's everything I can think of saying now lol.
(Thank you for everyone who worked hard on this! Even if I don't like some stuff, I know that so many hours of work was poured into this and I appreciate it so much!)
EDIT: OH WAIT I almost forgot Ares completely out of pocket line about Percy's mum, and yeah, no way was he getting out of that now, asshole. Also, the way Percy and Luke's parents are a trigger. The character similarities are similying~

ooookkkkkk so its been like. months since i last updated this blog so here we go im just gonna write my feelings out about the books i've read i will try to get through all of them but maybe won't i'll stop writing when i get bored soz. spoilers for many various books under the cut!
ok. first book i read since i last updated my reads on here was i will greet the sun again by khashayar j khabushani! this was such a beautiful piece of work and i really recommend it for anyone who needs a good cry, but still wants a happy/not extremely tragic ending. the writing was beautiful and i think one of my favorite scenes/settings was the beach... the way it was described. as well as the way iran was described, it was so lovely even though there were many bad memories attached to it. that and the K's relationship with Johnny were my fave parts. it was so sweet reading about them and even tho i read this a while ago so i don't remember much, this story has stuck with me throughout... not so much as the exact scenes, but the feelings and emotions i was feeling while reading it. definitely recommend!!!
next i read the life changing magic of tidying up by marie kondo! this was a great little book about organization and lifestyle and i recommend to anyone who maybe wants to get a different perspective on organization! i read and finished this before bed one night, woke up, and started reorganizing and cleaning up my space lmao. no it didnt stay that way, but the effort was there. i don't think that this book is necessarily life changing, however it does offer new ideas about tidying up, and gives some good tips on how to go about it. one of the things i thought pretty relevant to me were the steps in which u should organize, or choosing one thing to organize and only doing that one thing. like doing all of the clothes in the house at once, or toys, etc. instead of a room at a time. for me, i get distracted very easily if i'm doing 4 different things at once, so this is something i wanna try out more! the way the book is set up too makes it easily rereadable, just for a refresher, which i like lol
next i read braiding sweetgrass by robin wall kimmerer!!! 5/5 stars one of my top books i read this year 100%. easily. this book was wonderful and engaging and informative and i absolutely loved it. the way the author weaves facts and information along with the story and narrative is so lovely and makes me want to pick up her other book, gathering moss (i think) immediately. this shit was addicting! the stories from her life and the stories from her culture and history were so captivating and immersive oh my god. i think some of my favorite stories of hers where the ones with her students. the camping trip in the marsh (i think it was a marsh. some sort of wetlands....) was lovely; as well as the stories with her daughters. AND THE ENDIGN OHGHHHH MY GOD i had shivers literally all over me. like almost cried not out of sadness but awe of her writing. there were times i almost cried of sadness tho. 5/5 i need to read more from this author.
next - ok. OH KAY. oh also ive decided i'm just going to group all of the books in a series together, especially when i read them all pretty close in time to each other, because a lot of times they all blend together in my head. all this to say - i read the all for the game series by nora sakavic. i went into it knowing it was about gay people that play made up sports and maybe a little bit of mafia esque action was going on. i came out of it extremely entertained and needing to read the next one in the series LMAO this shit was so awesome and epic. 5/5 stars. i've aged out of YA so i usually steer clear of it (especially some of the newer ones. it feels like so much of YA has lost all amounts of trust in their readers and focuses more on publishers and algorithms and such but. whatever) however this is a tumblr classic and you know what i wanted to read something fun and entertaining so thats exactly what i did. i've seen a lot of people ok not a lot a couple people point out that the writing isn't good or isn't super high level or whatever. who give a shit. idk i feel like people are trying to justify liking or reading something that most would consider "bad" or "immature" or. idk the exact word im looking for, ig like a guilty pleasure?? theyre trying to justify it by saying things like "oh yeah, i know the writing is bad But the characters-" or "oh yeah its written like fanfic but-" like yall its fine. it's chill. calm down. personally i didn't think the writing was bad. i thought it was average. also there's nothing wrong with writing a fanfic-esque story, the problem is you people can't suspend ur damn disbelief for more than 2 minutes and have fun. sorry that was a huge rant that wasn't even about the book back to the books I HAD FUN. she did what she needed to to. will i read the sunshine court? yeah probably if i remember. would i recommend this to everyone? no. only people with taste. this was a blast definitely look up trigger warnings tho like. there was more mafia involvement than i originally thought there would be lol. characters slayed. relationships between them were fun to read about. go foxes.
ok this is long so i am going to end it here we are not even close to done but i will try to remember to continue going through everything and then maybe i'll try and compile some of my stats from storygraph for like an end of year thing even tho it's more than halfway through january lol.

Book Updates <3
hey guys - didn't take long for me to finish the book last night and OMG i could not put it down at all.
so much happened at the end of this book, so many twists and turns but all in all i absolutely loved every moment of the entire series.
yes the characters pissed me off every so often, but that's what makes a book so enjoyable. you don't want everything to be perfect because that is not how life goes.
sure, in a book you can expect a fairytale ending, but it's always better when it takes longer to get there in my opinion.
anyway, i wasn't planning on reading the rest of the series - the books about **SPOILER** Maxon and America's daughter - because i lowkey started to re-read this series halfway through another (The Edens by Devney Perry) which i am thoroughly enjoying btw, but i don't want their story to end quite yet, so i think i'll need to give myself some peace of mind on this series and finish it before returning to The Edens (soz Devney).
anyway, whilst this was not short, i just wanted to post a quick update with where i was at before i had to finish packing to go back to uni (year 2 already 😮)
love to anyone who read this whole thing lol <3
Loy xxx

Hi so I finished reading A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor by Hank Green the other day and I really enjoyed it! I do have a couple rambley nitpicks on how I thought the story was gonna go but I don't know anyone else who's read these books yet so I'm gonna throw it out here into the void. so spoilers below! (I do highly recommend these two books though so if you do read them we can talk about them hehe)
Okay I was SURE that the text that Miranda got from Maya about the the dresses was actually from Carl's Brother/One dgsdfgs like! I was reading that part and right when Miranda starts speculating on what Maya meant by that, I had a really incredible moment of dread when I remembered that, oh shit, April chucked Maya's phone out of the car earlier! I thought One got ahold of the phone or signal or whatever and sent that text to make Miranda feel bad and start doubting her friends so she would get mixed up in Altus easier! I believe Carl gives Maya her phone back in the next chapter and I was kind of waiting for that reveal to be made for a good chunk of the book, but then Maya said that she did send that text when she rescues Miranda from the Altus space. (And for a moment, that also made me wonder if that was actually a fake out too! But that wouldn't make much sense for One to do since Miranda didn't know they'd be coming to get her then anyway)
Which, isn't a problem and I know the whole book wasn't always strictly chronological so that's fine. Maybe I'm just a sucker for when the villain completely plays the protagonists (which, to be fair, was the case when it came to the Thread so I did get what I wanted in that way lol) but I was very slightly disappointed that my foreshadowing senses were slightly off there haha
And secondly. I was positive Robin was gonna die at some point lol. He's the only member of the gang who didn't have any chapters in the book, and Andy said something to the affect of "I never learned more about why Robin has issues with dating" after their heart-to-heat scene (Which was a scene I really adored btw). It just turns out that Robin just kinda...stopped showing up about 3/4th the way though.
While I definitely get that it probably wasn't feasible to have a SIXTH narrator in the book, and as an aspirational writer with a few minor projects under my belt I'm very aware that sometimes you just end up having a character that just kinda doesn't have anything to do later on and falls to the wayside, Robin's absence did kind of feel like a missed opportunity. Robin's reveal that he knew April's agent whos name escapes me soz was also working for Petrawiki was the partial catalyst that led to April "dying" in the first book, and he makes it clear to Andy that he's wracked with guilt about it. If I recall, the only interaction we get between him and April is that she hugs him when he shows up at the penthouse, and I'm pretty sure that scene ends up being his last appearance or at least his last major one. I think it would have been great if some time was spent in an April chapter where they make up. It's fine if April has forgiven him since then, but having some closure between them on the page would have been really great. Oh well.
At the very least when it comes to him not being a narrator, I can easily imagine them asking Robin to help write the book but he's just like "Hey it was your guys' job to do all the work on the ground, my job is to be your agent and get it out there, let me do that well."
Other than those two frankly minor nitpicks I thought ABFE was really good! I wish I had read them sooner but they came out while I was in the middle of my like five years where I didn't read shit, and also I hadn't been paying much attention to Nerdfighteria so I was only vaguely aware of the books for a while. I think I slightly prefer An Absolutely Remarkable Thing although I'm not super sure why I do, but you can't just stop at the first one!

Alright, crow thoughts on, drumroll please…
Dark Age!
Because wow! That ending was something else…
( @kool-kat1324 I know you drc but you might wanna read my ramblings anyways)
Also if it wasn’t made clear this will def have spoilers so soz to anyone who runs across this, I can’t find the cut feature on mobile lol
Anyways wow… I really can’t wait until Lightbringer comes out because there are SOOOO many ties to finish knotting up…. The biggest thing I can think of is Cassius’ arrival from what everyone assumed to be his ‘early’ grave… like I knew it was a little off to just assume Cassius the great would’ve died just like that but… Pierce Brown, my goodman, you SAVED CASSIUS BUT NOT ALEXANDAR??? Alexandar’s death was just… AUGHHHH ANGUISH- AND THEN RHONA NOOOOOOOOOO 😭😭
I guess the biggest question I have is… will Darrow end up actually succumbing to his lung puncture? Because it… wouldn’t make sense to have a Red Rising book without the man who made it possible… actually, killing off Darrow completely would turn me off so hard from this series… but I guess we’ll have to wait and see… as well as Sevro’s captivity- like Sevro being tortured by their enemy just- I stg if Lysander does anything to our smelly unwashed wolf man I will personally burn each one of his pov pages in an inferno
I am still super peeved about them KILLING EPHRAIM TOO LIKE GIVE HIM THE REDEMPTION ARC HE DESERVED YOU MONSTER NOOOO 👊😭

Janis & Casey Pt.2
Casey: [probably a good time for you to show up actually, obvs with your balloons like in the OG but also because I can go in more cos we’re more in love, loads of magazines for the model bants, I like to think including one or two you’re in gal if you really wanna be that bitch and show off lol but also a bit of old school pornography for those bants, including nuns ofc hence that lil spoiler, and we are not leaving the bub out, whatever toy there is would be really cute even if it’s not actually HUGE like he was playing it would be and I have to insist there’s something for her to put on like a little hat how newborns do or whatever that matches the colour of whatever top he’s wearing for those twinning and matching bants cos he made that joke before too]
Janis: [when we’re going to be so dramatically overwhelmed because we are actually being made to feel like shit here, however inadvertently like so we’re going to have to hug you for ages so you can’t see our face, also just ‘cos]
Casey: [just the longest and not at all platonic hug, excuse us everyone, then looking her over SO intensely how they do, checking and doing the same to this bub even though we do believe what she said about you both being okay actually, can’t help it soz not soz, but then finally you can give her all the things and take the cuteness from the OG of when you pretended you were gonna tie a balloon around this bub’s foot and float her out but add all of you to it this time, like let’s leave gals, cos you can tell she hates it, so as if you’re gonna tie one around her wrist so you can do a lil handhold moment, keeping busy lowkey being a nerd and not looking at her cos we’re not gonna force that rn asap]
Janis: [we will put this hat on this baby like now she’s ready to go, hope no one is gonna have a go about that ‘cos y’all are on thin ice lmao, soz this boy is the only person not making us feel terrible rn, not hard to see why this happens; but for now, when we have some composure, obviously checking you over in the same manner, smiling because you are a massive nerd ‘can’t believe you’re here’ squeezing his hand like we’re checking that too]
Casey: [she is literally also the only person not making him feel like the biggest piece of shit on the planet, like okay, y’all are not wrong being upset but also please calm down lol, simply gotta also steal from the OG him stroking the soft bub hair fluff before and as she’s putting this hat on cos it’s too cute not to and the love is real ‘took ages’ in every sense because you two did hardcore cockblock yourselves + having a baby is long + hospitals are like mazes, SUCH a genuine smile back ‘but yeah’ FINALLY making eye contact with this gal ‘hey’]
Janis: [obviously going to mess with your hair like we’re trying to match styles here ‘they didn’t have one in your size?’ like lol not with your giant head but we’re straightening your collar like we absolutely do not need to because as obviously, meeting your eyes with all the pent up emotion here ‘hey’]
Casey: [‘nor yours’ and playing with her hair like he absolutely does not need to cos he really does need to in this moment honestly, ALL the softness and lingering physical contact possible thank you, just continuing to do that while looking at you not at all casually]
Janis: [‘we’d look like overgrown gnomes’ ‘cos baby’s hats are always so silly soz baby Jac, sure you look cute hun, just shaking our head amused so we can rest ourself in the palm of your hands so casual mhmm ‘good flight?’ to highlight how uncasual how we’re looking at each other rn is]
Casey: [not moving or breaking this eye contact AT ALL, it’s fine ‘quicker on the way home’ cos always a thing but also we’re saying we were excited af to see you and actually looking forward to it not like the sad af energy of his flight there, doing a kiss on the top of her head/ her hair how he likes to do, so soft, like that’s so casual and friendly nbd]
Janis: [‘not quick enough’ like nothing could be because you should never be that far from me, but still just said like we’re having a little chat here nothing more, not like we’re casually leaning into you more and more here ‘they said it was pretty quick, for a first kid’ ‘cos I don’t see it actually being one of those insanely long labours, just felt like it hence we’re scoffing like don’t believe you ladies]
Casey: [‘gave me time to think’ again said like it’s so chill and casual and not layered with meaning about how serious we are and how much we love and wanna be with you lol lol ‘which she never gave you’ moving slightly so you can poke this bub ridiculously gently like oi but staying THE CLOSEST obvs]
Janis: [the lol noise like I KNOW ‘cos meant to be 3 weeks 5 days instead you got just the 5 days but we all knew what was gonna happen here anyway lads ‘she’s shameless’ like alright attention seeker, you got what you wanted ‘only wants the accent off you, like’]
Casey: [10000% taking and holding this bub like I know this is the attention you really want bestie, and running though the list of baby names you’ve thought of again like you did in the OG cos in this one you said you would while you were waiting and we can pretend it’s only cos you wanna hear them in your accent to see if it’s a yeah or a no lol, really giving it full manchester for the effect, like come on then, gotta throw in some bants ones too though, can’t resist]
Janis: [going to automatically correct how you’re holding this bub how you have to as the parent but obviously you know how so we just hold our hands up like stand corrected boy, just loling at your accent and these names ‘alright, Liam’ like steady on, she don’t need to go that hard with it ‘just call her our kid anyway’ like she doesn’t even need a name because lord knows we haven’t been thinking about it]
Casey: [scoffing at her SO hard in such an OTT bants way with sound and a look at this bub like what is your mother like ‘she ain’t my sister’ cos it’s only for siblings how dare you, you fake fan]
Janis: [waving our hand like oh you carry on then, I plan to be 0 help in this process and picking up the most blatant porno mag to flick through for the absolute bants]
Casey: [doing the thing people do where they flick the front of a book you’re reading if it’s upright purely to be annoying but probably have to with his foot cos his hands are busy cradling this bub so it’s even more of a ! thing and annoying as a result lol, and of course I’m bringing back the whole trying to get her to say daddy despite being a literal newborn bants cos while your mother is preoccupied is the perfect time haha, acting like you don’t want her to hear this but doing it loudly enough that everyone on this ward can ofc]
Janis: [putting it down so dramatically and sighing like a dad who’s trying to read the paper but of course, we’re just pissing about as always, so when we fold our arms like did I just hear that correctly, we can’t help being 😏 at the same time]
Casey: [😏 af as always, playfully and blatantly nudging her with his foot again cos gotta]
Janis: [just nudging you right back, casual footsie happening ‘were you expecting a response?’ so clear we mean from either of us so casual, look away gals]
Casey: [not soz, we love to see it ‘shameless, you said’ just LOOKING at her in such a shameless way ourself rn]
Janis: [‘if she takes after me’ LOOKING like you know I am]
Casey: [‘or me’ cos hard same]
Janis: [‘could do’ like you’re saying you’re the dad so yep]
Casey: [holding this bub up to make the comparison like does she everyone, these poor ladies ‘what do we reckon?’ as if we’re about to do an actual poll, but then back just at this baby more seriously like ‘could you be my daughter or what?’ cos we all know what we’re saying here]
Janis: [literally biting our tongue here because can’t say what we’re thinking which is that so far you’ve shown way more interest than Jimothy because no one is ready to hear that or deal with it]
Casey: [‘look like your mum anyway’ like ugh so unfair I have to lose that poll but she do and it’s feelsy and a compliment]
Janis: [‘yeah’ ‘cos she do, even if that’s a headfuck because not used to it remotely yet ofc ‘can thank you for her skin tone’ like Ian will be thrilled lol, stroking this baby’s cheek]
Casey: [‘good job I weren’t after paternity leave’ cos unemployed together bants, like ugh baby Jac so offended you don’t look like me hardcore rn but stroking her other cheek at the literal same time cos you two are just in sync like that ‘and that I’ve already banned any dickhead lads from ever hanging about making you blush’ makes me DIE that you are gay in the future gal it truly does]
Janis: [‘she’ll pay you well’ like it’s all coming from this gal’s non-existent pockets, stopping and resting our finger on her cheek ‘I wish-’ but not letting you finish that sentence even though Jimmy is not here because I know you feel it but it is mean and nope, just shake your head and join in these bants like you didn’t just blurt that out ‘show you how to deal with dickhead lads’ like I got you, babe]
Casey: [doing the action of turning out her non existent pockets and shooting the bae a look like um we’ve got a problem here cos cute nerd, but then she blurts out what she does so you gotta shake your head when she shakes hers like nope cos you feel it too and that’s a lot to be trying to deal with rn on top of your feelings for her mother ‘don’t forget how to drop the elbow and you’ll be sorted’ cos we all remember when she was freakishly popping out and beboping]
Janis: [tap this baby girl really gently on her forehead with one finger like omg, forgetful hoe, left your purse at home ‘put it on her tab’ looking around at all the stuff he brought for them like that too if you like, can smile at this memory as if it was forever ago ‘cos feels it at this point ‘she’s got it figured out, I reckon’ our work here is done]
Casey: [‘write your account number down for us’ taking her hand like he’s gonna either give her a pen or mime a fake pen like before you forget that as well gal, but then he’s just lowkey holding her tiny baby hand and doing an intake of breath involuntarily at how small it is like oh]
Janis: [just watching him have this moment for the first time because you’ve had time to have it already of course so you can fully just notice exactly how he reacts ‘fucking insane that one day that hand will be this big’ and holding up ours for comparison because how do we do it honestly]
Casey: [just doing a size comparison with his and this bub and then hers and his cos he’s in his emotions rn and also it’s just another way to touch and you want all the ways rn ‘mad’ with all the feeling ever like yep we’re in awe that you have made a person]
Janis: [just lacing our fingers through yours ‘maybe not that big’ like she is a girl, don’t wish that on her lol but now we’re just holding your other hand so then we hold baby Jac’s other hand too, casual seance vibes accidentally sorry we’re in our emotions]
Casey: [a little lol cos yeah that would be rude to you, giant hands curse, just having a moment here all together without a care in the world for or about the fact this isn’t your child or wife ‘she’s so’ cos what are words atm truly]
Janis: [nod because truly truly huns, we have none ‘I’ll protect her’ from what or who exactly we aren’t specifying but making this promise so seriously to you right now like you know I’m not gonna be a shit mum, don’t you]
Casey: [‘I know you will’ cos we do and we do think you’re gonna be great, no bullshit or hype for hype’s sake ‘and you know I will both of you an’ all’ cos literally he could not be in this any deeper or be more serious about that at this point]
Janis: [take our other hand from this bub and put it on top of yours that’s holding hers still because we know you will and we need this ‘we’ll always be there for you’]
Casey: [‘I’ll always love you’ cos he shall and fight me anyone who is listening in ‘and her’ cos also true]
Janis: [gonna say that we hospital kiss you first ‘cos makes the most sense right now sorry, can also say our ‘me too’ more quietly ‘cos proximity as if you didn’t just kiss him on the mouth however briefly]
Casey: [yay, so glad for the return of that kiss, it’s so important, oh y’all would need even more self control not to turn it into a full one this time, RIP, at least you can still do the gentle but hot af pushing her back against the pillows, boy, because forever a mood and a moment and you do still very much need that tiny amount of distance to be forced and do your speechless ‘I-’ that I love so much]
Janis: [‘yeah’ because always agreeing to and agreeing with things when we don’t even 100% know what was gonna be said ‘cos we know we would anyway, the way you can make TOO MUCH eye contact from further apart so we’re just doing that now]
Casey: [maintaining it as always, but having to bite his lip so he doesn’t make a sound because it’s tortuous everything we wanna say and do rn and cannot]
Janis: [it so is and we’re just ‘fuck’s sake’ ing at the universe as if we have anyone to blame but ourselves, really but we’re more bemused than like FUMING because still so good to have you here despite the blatant frustration]
Casey: [‘yeah’ cos we know what we’re agreeing to and we agree 1000% but we’re also very much in the same mood, which is why we’re getting closer to you again even though we should not, just doing that fully getting into bed next to you vibe, like budge up, cos the eye contact will kill y’all if he doesn’t switch the positions up lol]
Janis: [so happily obliging, never mind the fact that the nurses will be fuming because all the more reason we don’t even need frankly ‘hey’ again as if he’s been anywhere just because you weren’t literally this close to each other]
Casey: [just fussing with her pillow and the blankets etc making sure her and this baby are comfortable as possible like such a dad ‘how are you?’ with the same energy as the hey obvs ‘would’ve brought you grapes but all that healthy bollocks were doing your head in last I heard’ cos the saucy connotations of feeding you things especially the decadent goddess vibes there but also grapes are such a hospital cliche so everybody can mind their business]
Janis: [we know you’re giving 😍 can’t help it, trying to tuck you in with us like no how are YOU ‘might’ve made an exception’ because obviously we’re both on the same page about this here ‘think they’re banned as well’ because I’m sure you’re not meant to bring people grapes now which is dumb lol but all the more reason you two would ofc]
Casey: [I definitely think they are, like flowers which would make baby Jac fuming if she wasn’t a baby as it’s her entire brand ‘hang on, I’ll go get some’ meaning this 100000% seriously because he is that bitch, literally kissing this bub on the hat/hair/head as if he’s gonna go rn immediately]
Janis: [holding onto him so he can’t get off this bed like hold on a sec ‘where’s mine’ 🥺 only time it’s acceptable to be that bitch]
Casey: [kissing her on the forehead instead of the top of her head but purely so it can be more indecently than that suggests, we all know what I’m saying here gals, doing the most we can get away with on this day and in this hospital]
Janis: [the lowkey gasp we are doing when you do this ‘miss you’ before you’ve even remotely gone]
Casey: [the blatant effect that would have on the way he is breathing also, oh you two ‘do you want me to stay?’ like that’s not super obvious]
Janis: [‘only forever’ like you can maintain anything close to a casual tone now]
Casey: [‘alright then’ sounds super casual but we know his tone is likewise not at all]
Janis: [just pressing our forehead against yours like that isn’t the riskiest behaviour right now]
Casey: [allowing it and doing it back as if it isn’t, would like to point out he has not asked where Jimothy is, the boy could appear any second for all he knows and yet here we are, just running his thumb over his bottom lip how he always does]
Janis: [we must be out of visiting hours or something ‘cos like to think we would be like oh perhaps not at some point before now because this is too blatant to be explained away to anyone lol, just trying to kiss this thumb and smile at you]
Casey: [POV you’ve just had a baby and this is happening in the bed next to you, imagine, it makes me die, the noise he would simply have to make rn, quiet but so blatant, soz everyone]
Janis: [wouldn’t know where to look frankly, clearly none of you are hardcore karens making complaints because you already could honestly ‘Casey’ fully whispering but too much being unsaid making it the most of course]
Casey: [honestly, how out of it is everyone on this labour ward, you ladies are too chill about this, gotta whisper her name back as if that’s not dangerous too with how into it you two get]
Janis: [putting a finger to his lips to shh him despite being so into how our name sounds when you say it like that]
Casey: [trying to kiss her finger the way she did to us but a moment ago obviously]
Janis: [just giving you another finger to kiss one after the other, like that’s just a thing people do nbd]
Casey: [doing it as if you couldn’t get kicked out for this cos literally have forgotten there is anyone else here]
Janis: [taking these kisses and dotting them all over our own face/neck because likewise]
Casey: [maybe we should say he does get kicked out of here, not saying you have to leave the hospital entirely, can still have that chapel moment later, I doubt they’re going to the lengths of escorting you fully out, it’d just be like sir please you’re doing the other patients heads in lol]
Janis: [that makes sense just a like get off the bed and take a walk honey kinda energy]
Casey: [yeah cos he probably is kissing her neck or about to be, so they can be like that’s quite enough thank you]
Janis: can you go kick something for the both of us
Casey: *Someone’s head in
Casey: yeah, will do
Janis: right place for it anyway
Janis: dunno who they reckon they are, don’t get paid enough to act like that
Casey: so bothered about your blood pressure but they’ll take every chance to piss you off, makes loads of sense, that
Janis: probably got some tablet they’re flogging they wanna throw at me instead
Casey: fuck’s sake
Casey: I only just got here
Janis: I know
Janis: they’ll change shift in a bit, those ones will fuck off themselves
Casey: I’ll go for a smoke til they have, let me know, like
Janis: can tick that off your bucket list, at least
Casey: bit shit without you but least you’ll get the taste off me, better than nowt til we can get you out of here
Janis: I’m kissing you when you come back
Janis: how’d they think we all ended up here anyway
Casey: we’ll both be changing our minds about the convent if they don’t steady on
Janis: nuns have more fun, letdown, girls
Casey: chuffed I went top shelf for most of your magazines now, be bored to death, else
Casey: question is do half them lasses even need their stitches or are they too into the cockblock in this place
Janis: break from their bloke and their other kids
Janis: what I’m guessing, didn’t hear none of them complaining, anyway
Casey: Don’t be giving out my number to no lasses the state of that lot, however much ear ache you get for withholding it
Janis: you should know I’m not that sort of mate by now
Casey: I know what I’d have heard if I were listening to anybody but you, and no complaints is right
Janis: 😏
Janis: I weren’t complaining either
Casey: nah, you weren’t
Janis: you know you’d have loads to hear if we could
Casey: Can you not sneak out and meet me somewhere when they change shifts
Janis: and do what with her though
Casey: I dunno, ain’t there anything they have to do with her
Janis: I don’t really know either, might have to wait ‘til someone can stay with her
Casey: point of you having a husband if he’s not even here the once he’d be useful
Janis: I do have to tell him you’re here, I suppose
Casey: that’ll be a right laugh, you gonna tell him I’m staying or what
Janis: your house too, ‘course you’re staying
Casey: he does make it more and more piss easy for you to speak for him
Janis: it’ll be fine, promise
Casey: if he bothers looking after her for long enough you can come meet me, then it’ll be worth him driving over
Janis: I need to be with you
Janis: I’ve done more hours looking after her, it’s his turn for a bit
Casey: but I’m warning you now, we come back and she’s crying, or he’s not done fuck all proper, they are gonna wanna be chucking me out again
Janis: he remembers how it’s done too, like, can’t fault him that
Casey: he better
Janis: trust me, you don’t have to him
Janis: wouldn’t leave her otherwise, no matter how bad I might wanna
Casey: ‘course, yeah, sorry
Janis: s’alright, s’endearing, pretty hot
Casey: I just 
Casey: meant everything I said
Janis: I know you do
Casey: but I know you did too, she’ll be alright and knowing that she is, it can be your turn for a bit
Janis: no sharing
Janis: just me and you
Casey: Alone
Casey: I’m gonna find a place for us to go if I have to do laps of this whole bloody hospital
Janis: it was too hard not to kiss you more
Casey: and not to touch you more
Janis: not touching myself is hard
Janis: can’t stop thinking about your lips on my fingers
Casey: What happens when you need a piss, can you not say you’re desperate and do it there
Janis: don’t even start on peeing, that’s a whole thing
Janis: but I ain’t one of the lazy cows with a catheter in so yeah, I could
Casey: it’s total bollocks if you can’t think about me either, already been deprived of every fucking thing else
Janis: no one can stop me thinking about you
Casey: don’t stop then
Janis: I haven’t, for a long time
Casey: How long
Janis: longer than I should admit to
Casey: that only means you’ve gotta admit it to me
Janis: non-stop since you got me all those morning sickness cures and shit
Janis: not saying I never before then, like
Casey: I shouldn’t have made you have to chuck half of ‘em at my door
Janis: there was loads of shit we shouldn’t have, don’t matter now
Casey: I’m just really feeling all the time we wasted pissing about being dickheads right now
Janis: now you mention it
Janis: fuck you, like
Casey: more like it
Janis: what about my blood pressure 
Casey: Was all my fault, have to do better than some well expensive balloons far as putting it right goes
Janis: no it weren’t
Casey: none of that, there’s no need to lie to try and make me feel better
Janis: it wasn’t, we’ve talked loads about how my life were shit
Janis: that was loads of things, and blame to go around so
Casey: blame I’m taking my share of as it goes round
Janis: *trying to take more than your share
Casey: nah, you’re too nice, trying to let me off
Janis: that’s you, like I didn’t miss my appointment and not book a new one in
Casey: she were early, what was you gonna do about that, like
Janis: all her fault, when you think about it
Casey: her shit dad’s
Janis: he can have some blame too, yeah
Casey: it’ll not stick, hard as you fancy chucking it at him, we’ve been over all that bollocks before, he don’t think he’s doing nowt wrong
Janis: it’s obvious who the bad guy is, yeah, I know that
Casey: fuck it and fuck talking about this
Janis: I don’t care, I can’t live like that anymore
Casey: you’ll not be, I’m here now
Janis: we’re doing it different from now on
Casey: us 3
Janis: yeah
Casey: Bit rude they never gave me chance to take a pic of me and my best mate matching, she’ll not get insta famous and earn her keep if they don’t leave it out
Janis: you look well cute
Janis: already fucked for a username and # for her
Casey: you don’t fancy none of the names off the top of my head then
Janis: knowing where they’ve likely come from, nah
Janis: I dunno though, too much to think about
Casey: oi, I’d not do that
Janis: 😏 only be shooting yourself in the foot, honestly
Casey: anyway, dunno what makes you think I caught half their names on their way in or out
Janis: who needs names when any vague insult will work
Casey: failing that call ‘em all lass
Janis: if you wanna sound like you’re in a Bronte novel
Janis: very romantic of you
Casey: that’ll be why it works, tah for the insight
Janis: welcome
Janis: bet you never knew they were so well read
Casey: be the school nonce’s fault, won’t it, I read none for him but he’d have had them in detention til they’d gone cover to cover
Janis: okay perv, bringing him into this ain’t gonna do nothing for me, tah
Casey: oh didn’t realise you were mad into it before I mentioned him, crack on reminiscing about every lass I’ve had through the door and forget I said owt about your old english teacher
Janis: your idea of foreplay, other lasses
Janis: that’s what I heard 
Casey: it were you bringing them up
Janis: was not
Casey: was, I brought up baby names, nowt else
Janis: hmpf
Casey: What
Janis: I dunno, still pissed off they made you leave, clearly
Casey: I’ll be back in or you’ll come out and we’ll both calm down
Janis: you reckon
Janis: I’m less sure but 
Casey: or get worked up different
Janis: won’t tell ‘em about it, leave the BP monitor behind
Casey: maybe you did have it right with disappointing before, that machine weren’t what got me chucked out
Janis: you wanna give me a heart attack, bit rude
Janis: you really think any of that was disappointing 
Casey: if only you’d been that buzzing to see me, dunno what you was playing at not dying on the spot, like
Janis: well I apologise, try harder next time
Casey: tah very much
Janis: oh, that was a request
Casey: well demanding, you
Casey: wanna try requesting a private room and then I’ll be able to kill you piss easy 
Janis: being their least favourite patient has no perks
Casey: gutted you don’t know how to behave
Janis: are you though
Casey: now I’m on this side of the door
Janis: maybe if they were nicer to me
Casey: I’ll have a word
Janis: I have to keep reminding myself you’re actually here, for real
Casey: keep an ear out for me having a go, it’s genuinely out of order how they’re treating you like you did something wrong
Janis: I know if I’d rung before the time they’d tell me not to come yet, and I didn’t know about my blood pressure so I weren’t gonna push that I needed to, I didn’t think I did
Casey: you’re not some thick kid and you shouldn’t have to have had loads of babies for them to give you credit of fuck all sense, I’m not having it
Janis: if you make ‘em feel bad, might let you back in 
Casey: let’s see
Janis: go for disappointed not fuming, yeah, no point being in the shit with me over it
Casey: making dickheads who’re after more power than they’ve got work out they ain’t got any and should be the ones feeling like shit for it is 1 of the many skills on my CV, don’t worry
Janis: you ain’t a stupid kid either, I’m not
Casey: [after enough time that you’ve done that and it’s worked, come back in, boy, cos you simply could turn it around on these peeps where’s the lie]
Janis: [just following you with our eyes, grinning ‘do I need to be crying?’ when he’s close enough that we can just say that to you and not the ward like how absolutely in pieces do these nurses think I am lol]
Casey: [he is that dog sticker we used to love so much, full smug smirking emoji lol, until we’re hugging this gal as if we’ve been gone a thousand years ‘up to you, that’ in her ear like idk how happy are you to see me this time as you’re not gonna die on the spot appaz haha, falling into the shouldn’t sound as saucy as it does category, knowing what we know about how into it you both are later on, obvs doing his wiping her tears away even though she’s not crying thing because always]
Janis: [always hugging you tighter and for longer because have to ‘I am pretty gutted’ like ugh you again but the way we’re looking at you right now kills that bants right away, even if we’re smacking your hands away like get off, you ‘thanks’ more sincerely ‘cos actually getting real fed up of the attitude y’all were bringing tbh so we do appreciate that]
Casey: [literally shrugging off the thanks because he’s just that bitch and we all know he’d have done it even if they didn’t let him back in, obvs picking up this bub again like hello you must also have a hug gal and using our soft voice @ her ‘you’ll not cry either, will you?’ cos happy to see you and we do declare it do be mutual not soz that you’re a newborn and don’t actually know what’s occurring]
Janis: [‘she’s good like that’ elephant in the room that feeding is difficult and you’re gonna have to do it soon because it can be hourly in the first days, if not it’s usually about every 2 hours]
Casey: [giving the bae a look like ? what’s she’s not being good about cos he just would be able to work out what you were getting at, you two just know each other like that]
Janis: [just rolling our eyes ‘they didn’t tell you I dunno how to feed her either?’ like that should’ve been your first line of defence, gals ‘always end up doing the bottle, so far’]
Casey: [‘what’s the matter with that?’ cos genuinely, doesn’t need to be the hill you all die on ladies, as long as this child is being fed]
Janis: [just reel off the benefits of breastfeeding because there obviously are some but it’s not your fault if you’re too stressed or just cannot for whatever reason gal, deffo is stress in your case rn]
Casey: [the most unimpressed face and vibe rn at these preachy bitches ‘she’ll live, we all did’ Debbie wasn’t breastfeeding none of these children and we all know it so ‘chuck us a bottle then’ like I shall do it, cos what are they gonna do fight him, try it huns]
Janis: [‘I’m meant to give it a go still, ‘til she gets too fuming and I give up’ shrug like I better and gesturing like hand her here then]
Casey: [‘bollocks to doing both your heads in for no reason, if they really fancy having a row they can with me’ because we’re not happy rn, we be knowing you’re stressed gal]
Janis: [just get and prepare however you have to this bottle moment because you’re sure there’ll be plenty of other feeds where one of them comes along and tries to help you however well-intentioned they might genuinely be, least you can show him how to hold it so there’s no air bubbles, that’s as hard as bottle feeding gets tbh]
Casey: [just feeding this baby, fuck the haters]
Janis: [we’re watching and just thinking about how the hell we all got here lowkey, don’t mind us, remembering what he said and taking a candid photo that you can send to him]
Casey: [bringing back from the OG him just telling baby Jac how to make different drinks in a really soothing manner, like one day you’ll be able to have more options than this lol, you know damn well that he’s gonna post that photo, sis, I really hope the bub hat and whatever he’s wearing is pink cos that just makes me laugh]
Janis: [just amused like start ‘em young much ‘long as she don’t ask for [whatever we deem to be the grossest/weakest cocktail moment like don’t be lame baby Jac]’]
Casey: [shaking his head like no no she would never cos too cool bants 5ever ‘don’t want the sort of mates who’d ask for that either’ like no nerds allowed in the squad gal bringing down how cool you are]
Janis: [‘oh god, I forgot about birthday parties and sleepovers and taking her and her dickhead mates places’ like eww, parenting lol]
Casey: [‘you wanna watch yourself, little girl, well shit at driving, your mum’ cos never gonna let you live it down that you crashed the car and enough time has passed that we can be bants with it]
Janis: [😮 ‘when I’m in a hospital bed, too’ as if we’re still here regarding the crash, shaking our head like ffs]
Casey: [just nudging her with his foot again like ily really]
Janis: [‘embarrass me in front of your new mate’ like stop showing off but we’re nudging you back without jogging you or this baby]
Casey: [‘alright, when I’m done here’ like yes I shall do the most to try and make you blush/that blood pressure monitor pop off when this baby has been fed]
Janis: [‘such a pro already, yeah’ like you put me on that to-do list boy]
Casey: [‘doubt it, did you?’ like yes of course I am]
Janis: [‘not something I’d pictured for you’ ‘cos this was not how you were living even remotely, just biting the corner of our mouth]
Casey: [‘be a bit weird if you had done’ cos agreed, not how he was living remotely]
Janis: [‘weirder if I’d planned it’ like not as if we could see any of this coming]
Casey: [‘yeah’ cos none of us can say we did, not even you sir]
Janis: [‘I’m glad you’re here though’ ‘cos we are so no need to lie, just tickling this gal’s foot ‘her too’]
Casey: [a smile cos hard same ‘it’s the same now she’s out’ cos when he said that talking to her calms him when she was still a bump, we have not made that clear remotely but that’s what he means]
Janis: [‘awkward if you hated her’ but in a soft, we knew you would not ever tone because lowkey the most enthusiastic then and now ‘she’s alright’]
Casey: [‘Dunno how anybody could’ full shade at Jimothy, not saying you hate her but the lack of enthuasiasm has been noted many times over ‘she’s the best’ cos not soz we just love this bub bye] 
Janis: [‘sorry I didn’t leave her here like I said’ like you can’t just steal her now I’m afraid] 
Casey: [‘have a job to do it together if you had though’ because we’re a team here gal, again not soz] 
Janis: [‘you know I’d love you even if you were shit at it’ we mean it’s a separate issue and we aren’t just doing this with you because of this general mess here but not gonna put that all out like that right now]
Casey: [‘but you’d not have to put up with it for long, what kind of dickhead’ cos we mean we love you so much that even if we were shit we’d put the effort in, because sorry but if you love someone you can’t just ignore the fact they have a child or lowkey anyone who’s really important to them so]
Janis: [shrug because we can’t help but feel this is a lot because it is but that’s also not not correct so we’re leaving that there ‘it’s gonna be hard’ just as a statement ‘cos duh]
Casey: [a shrug back because it will be and we know that but also we can’t help but feel like it’s been really hard up to now and it lowkey won’t be worse cos at least y’all are doing it together this time and on the same page]
Janis: [shrugging more just to be silly with it otherwise we’ll just be shrugging back and forth here]
Casey: [‘you gonna kiss me or what?’ cos she said she was gonna when he came back in and we’ve not forgotten that]
Janis: [when we have forgotten haha like oh yeah but then looking at this baby being fed like probably finish that first so we just kiss your cheek as if that’s what we meant]
Casey: [gotta smile, can’t not, but also have to affectionately take the piss always ‘I get it, you don’t want no more trouble’ like she’s scared of these nurses and that’s why lol]
Janis: [‘rude to do it when your hands are full’ like excuse you, more trouble is exactly what I want lol]
Casey: [‘so I put her down and?’ like oh yeah, what are you gonna do gal]
Janis: [‘and pick me up instead’ like that’s obvious]
Casey: [‘if I didn’t know better I’d reckon you was starting to like it here’ with a look at this blood pressure monitor because it’s as obvious once y’all start you’ll just get more and more extra and they’ll never discharge you if you don’t calm down gal, but we’re saucy about it not concerned]
Janis: [‘as much privacy as at home’ like there’s less people there but won’t be alone, not acknowledging just how checked out Jimothy is but the point is we wanna be alone with you and we’re only gonna get so many opportunities] 
Casey: [‘let’s extend your stay then’ because okay if you’re greenlighting me to be extra af right here right now then I’m doing the same for you, truly we all know this boy has no shame and there are no fucks given about where they are remotely]
Janis: [😈 face like alright then and flagging down a nurse like oh hey I wanna have a freshen up and change is it alright if we shut the curtains for a bit because cannot refuse you privacy ultimately so thanks hun bye, doing a mini bow like there you go ‘easy’]
Casey: [have gotta say he’s done with this bub so he can actually put her down and then pick this gal up off this bed enough that he can get in under her and then put her back down in his lap in such a hot choreographed lil move how he do, still holding onto her so tightly obvs because not putting you down ever now that he’s picked you up is the entire vibe]
Janis: [the LOOK we have to give you from this position before we go in and kiss you properly for the first time casually, not at all dying here]
Casey: [returning both the look and the kiss as intensely ofc, and he’s clearly equally dying because the fact you two haven’t kissed yet actually sends me, we really did cockblock you that hard]
Janis: [going to have to let you just kiss for a really long time because truly, like the amount you did do IRL and online was a lot but you never actually technically did anything in person that you couldn’t sorta explain away if you had to in a court of law lmao ‘I don’t wanna ever stop’ because truly the energy of how intense this kiss is]
Casey: [how little physical contact you’ve had with each other before this point is honestly iconic, so yes, enjoy your really long and intense af makeout sesh, which I will keep going by doing his signature hair pull into another kiss like don’t ever stop then thank you]
Janis: [trying to keep all our reactions vaguely quiet here because you have to try even though hospitals are quite loud by default, but the reaction to the hair pull would be our loudest thus far, doesn’t need to be said that clearly all of this would result in you moving in his lap that’s the whole reason for this position]
Casey: [likewise please do have some chill, boy, in keeping your responses quiet-ish, until the one in direct response to hers post hair pull which is thankfully gonna be muffed by the kiss that followed it because yeah, you’re both very into that, we know, but it’s the first time y’all are experiencing it]
Janis: [can bite your lip in response and to also give you another first here because so many to come lads]
Casey: [all the firsts please and thank you, even though it would be killing him haha, gonna do it back but so much softer because not leaving any marks is just an unspoken rule forever that we don’t even need to acknowledge]
Janis: [keep opening our eyes shamelessly ‘cos still unreal that it’s you and we don’t care, we wanna see your reactions]
Casey: [no judgement hun, he would too if he could he’s just dying too hard, gonna let him kiss your neck because you were interrupted earlier when he got thrown out, even though he’ll have to have so much self control not to literally cover her in lovebites rn, he can at least look at her a bit then]
Janis: [you can feel all the noises we’re not allowed to fully let out here, gripping onto you even harder like okay now you don’t ever stop thank you ‘could’ve been doing this the whole time’]
Casey: [blatantly moving to kiss her throat when she speaks because it’s his forever kink we all know this and down to her collarbone too because why not obvs we don’t ever wanna stop either ‘should’ve’ like a * correction]
Janis: [turning the blatant moan we have to do into a noise of agreement like yes, definitely should’ve because we’re always into it, we have to copy you ‘cos did say we wanted to bite your adam’s apple so we will, gently for now]
Casey: [the NOISE sis, not soz to everyone who may have heard it because that would just be the hottest thing anyone has ever done to him to date and there is simply no stopping it, but soz a lil bit that he literally could not be holding you tighter atm]
Janis: [so obviously buzzing you liked that because we did, smiling at you so big before kissing you some more like it isn’t too late to shut him up because we’re both carried away now ‘go on, where do you want me to bite you next?’]
Casey: [just kiss her wherever you’d like that to be, somewhere on your neck probably because it’s v blatant, but doing it so softly for the contrast]
Janis: [‘you’re so gentle’ because we aren’t about to be ‘cos we don’t have to, just ramping it up ‘cos we wanna leave a bruise]
Casey: [biting his own lip SO hard to not be letting out the most indecent moan because have to spare this hospital that ‘with you’ like you probably didn’t just see me almost chew my own lip off cos you were a bit busy but here we are]
Janis: [‘don’t hurt yourself’ and doing kiss it better kind of kisses on your lip right now]
Casey: [absolutely has stopped breathing because that is just too much ‘I ain’t worried about surviving that’ like gal do not get it twisted you’re the one who is killing me here ok, running his fingers through her hair as she does kiss him though and making sure to get her scalp with his nails because that feels so nice]
Janis: [sighing because it do and we’re heavily touch starved so literally everything does ‘I just missed you so much’ like sorry, I cannot have chill ‘it’s been forever’ laying on him casually, somehow getting closer as per]
Casey: [keep playing with her hair obvs cos he could and would do that forever, but also lightly running his nails over the back of her neck as well because that also feels nice ‘I missed you too’ of course it’s just too true not to say]
Janis: [‘you came back for me’ closing our eyes and just enjoying this moment ‘we’re gonna take care of each other’]
Casey: [‘I love you’ like duh, of course I came back and obvs I’ll take care of you and let you also take care of me]
Janis: [positioning your arms around us so we’re fully cocooned here ‘I love you’ keeping hold of your hands resting them on our stomach, rip bump]
Casey: [have to kiss the top of her head again when we’re in the cocooning moment and also has to just fully run his hands over her stomach the way he did when it was a bump]
Janis: [‘it’s weird to not feel her moving’ ‘cos I’ve never heard anyone say but it must be strange to go from it being a constant to not, looking over at this gal in her cot like hello miss]
Casey: [‘yeah, not kicked us once today’ like how dare you and also we see you feeling less brave now you’re out in the real world bub, but we’re saying this pisstake with such love and affection]
Janis: [‘give her time’ like toddlers are nightmarish, won’t be long lol lol, giving him a fake little smack on the arm like if you’re missing the drama I can provide]
Casey: [‘state of me when she starts biting an’ all’ for the taking after you bants and general lols, but we know you were so here for it when the bae did it a sec ago and aren’t over it sir that’s why you’re really bringing it up]
Janis: [😏🥰 from here at being reminded ‘only be able to reach your ankles’ like I’ll have loads of skin left just for me, reiterating this point by touching you places we could possibly wanna bite you next]
Casey: [‘if I don’t pick her up’ and pulling you even closer to us to make the point that we don’t intend to have put you down by then or lowkey ever]
Janis: [‘you could hold us both’ the could being highlighted by us kissing, the licking, then biting your bicep like you’re strong but you’re gonna want it to just be me right now okay]
Casey: [saying her name with such feeling cos he do very much only want it to just be her rn no offense baby Jac]
Janis: [saying yours back with equal because a novelty that’s not about to wear off any time soon]
Casey: [another eager hair pull into a kiss we desperately need to stop himself v loudly reacting to how much he liked hearing her say that]
Janis: [‘fuck’ muffled by this kiss because likewise, it’s all too much and there’s going to need to be a nurse being like you okay in there in a sec to stop y’all]
Casey: [honestly, how hardcore this kiss would be and the way y’all would be moving, nosey nurse, come through before this goes way too far]
Janis: [we can say it’s not long until visiting hours so as pissed off as we’ll be it’s also very good you were stopped lmao]
Casey: [you’re welcome for your husband not walking in on that hun, and you can still quickly get changed like you said you wanted to and he can just watch you how he likes to do so]
Janis: [the way the people at this hospital know far too much of your business and you gotta walk awayayay lmao]
Casey: [my fave thing about this is the fact there is no gap between this bub and your next one so you know damn well some of these nurses will still be working there and be absolutely living because of all the drama, but for now go and take a walk to the vending machines to get tea, boy, because you’re too visibly turned on and you’ve gotta take a sec and calm down before your brother gets here]
Janis: [we’re giving the best gossip to y’all truly]
Janis: 🥺
Janis: bright side, when he gets here, we can go
Casey: But where
Janis: anywhere we’ll be left alone 5 minutes
Janis: oh, I’ve got an idea 💡 
Casey: go on
Janis: meant to be calming you down right now
Casey: fuck that, I’d put money on him showing up early, he’ll probably be walking in before I get chance to bring this tea back, tell me
Janis: 💒
Casey: takes the piss that I didn’t guess, one track mind, you
Janis: pretend that you’re fuming, like
Janis: and it’s not your favourite idea I’ve ever had 🙏🙌
Casey: only fuming we’re not already there
Janis: that’s more like it
Casey: cross your fingers nobody’s nan who had her own massive boner for praying is about to die
Janis: have to block the door/prayers, soz
Casey: *not soz
Janis: I’ll put a word in for ‘em, cover the whole hospital
Casey: so generous, like
Janis: you’ll see
Casey: soon, yeah
Janis: do you wanna see him or nah
Casey: What would I wanna see him for
Janis: you don’t have to
Casey: do you want me there or out the way
Janis: up to you, it’s going to be what it is whenever we do it
Casey: nah, it’s up to you if you can hack being alone with him before you properly are with me
Janis: I can do it
Casey: weren’t questioning that, but you don’t have to either, I’ll be there if you like
Janis: do you think they’ll let me leave soon
Janis: ‘cos if you wanna come home with us, gonna need to see you’re here
Casey: I can ask, might be chuffed to be rid of the lot of us
Janis: probably
Janis: we’re clearly both fine, what’s the point pissing about here 
Casey: it’s a bed they can have back, be doing them a favour by not hanging about how loads of the other lasses’ll be after doing, dunno why you’re not their fave, behaving well as that
Janis: as obvious they like having us about to look at
Janis: I’ll pinky promise to keep trying to feed her, health visitor be ‘round soon enough to have a go as well
Casey: can’t blame them, feels like ages since I’ve had a look at you
Casey: don’t worry, I’ll get her to calm herself down an’ all if she starts
Janis: I miss you too, keep looking at the photo of yous
Casey: be there in a sec, you can keep looking at me, make up for the shit tea
Janis: it’s like they don’t even want me to get better 😏
Casey: or they want me to have to smuggle everything in from outside, really keep the prison vibes up
Janis: least being treated like shit is par for the course then
Janis: still too butch to be a girl though, mate
Casey: it’s like you want me to crossdress, nice try, mate
Janis: hospital gown is doing no one any favours, you can wait ‘til you can wear something nicer, don’t worry
Casey: I dunno about that, neither of us would be short of mates for wearing one
Janis: been dressed in a bin bag for the point, not very original, these fashion types
Casey: what page of what magazine can I find that on
Janis: 😂 it was ages ago and you didn’t see it then for good reason, obvs
Casey: 💔
Casey: [come through with this tea so you can be doing an OTT pout about it obvs]
Janis: [‘be a better stalker’ like you’ve let yourself down boy but we are STARING at your lips clearly because rudely interrupted, still not over it]
Casey: [must do his first hospital kiss ™️ as he hands her this tea because likewise are not over it remotely and we see where you’re looking gal but cannot let it linger or you’ll both get too carried away again]
Janis: [you cannot, clearly Jimmy will be here soon so you both need to calm down and sip your tea, we’re never not reacting so dramatically though, can’t help it]
Casey: [drink your tea and find some chill please even though it probably tastes grim but at least that means you can pull silly faces about it like a nerd]
Janis: [acting like it’s absolutely vile here ‘get better in prison’ because really, get your own kettle too, serve diva]
Casey: [‘go on then, what crime you committing?’ like yes it’s that bad take us to prison rn immediately]
Janis: [looking ‘round as we sip, weighing up our options ‘not stealing none of these kids’ like already got the best one, soz gals ‘guess I’ll secure my next fix, you?’ 😏]
Casey: [‘ain’t a joke when it’s me’ like we can’t even make one the way we’ve been so close to going to prison of late, but shrugging like it’s so casual and we’re so fine]
Janis: [reaching out and squeezing his shoulder/hand/leg whatever would make sense for the position and what you’re both doing in the moment ‘that’s why you’re gonna stop being a total dickhead all the time’ said in that faux-sincere way like it is bants but it’s actually sincere we’re just not trying to bring drama to this]
Casey: [‘some of the time’ like it’s a bants * but he’s looking at her and doing a sincere lil nod like yep]
Janis: [‘just with me’ because we like that kind of dickhead and we balance each other out alright is the vibe]
Casey: [giving her a squeeze wherever she did him a second ago because agreed]
Janis: [oh we just love you so much, don’t even know what to do with ourselves rn]
Casey: [just flicking through one of the magazines he brought in case she wants to brag until he finds her and doing the biggest heart eyes as he looks from her rn to these pics cos likewise so in love]
Janis: [‘still reckon I’ll never get my career back?’ like he’s looking you up and down appraising you rn because otherwise we’ll be 😳]
Casey: [‘when were I meant to have reckoned that?’ like I would never say such a thing excuse you]
Janis: [a face like you definitely said that at some point boy but in amusement not actual offence] 
Casey: [a face like no I did not, also amused, as we point that one of the pics here like how could I ‘look at you’ genuinely so like omg in love about it]
Janis: [we are just fully blushing now ‘don’t take the piss’ as if he is at all or we think that]
Casey: [shaking his head in sheer disbelief ‘couldn’t get you looking a dickhead hard as they tried, fuck’s sake’ cos model vibes do be wild as we all know and she still looks great somehow which is frankly rude]
Janis: [my boo says I know all too well lmao but truly, they’re not here to make you look cool but we still managed it somehow ‘money won’t hurt now’ because truly x2]
Casey: [your future child is not at all managing it but don’t get me started, what’s important here is this boy do be reaching out to cup her lil blushing cheeks as though Jimothy isn’t likely to appear at any moment]
Janis: [when you’re so lowkey embarrassed about the whole modelling thing ‘cos it is the type of thing people would just be jealous of so you’re not really discussing it with anyone, using your head to gently push away his hands rn]
Casey: [just doing the their foreheads touching thing like hey I’m soz cos was not trying to embarrass you honestly, just are in awe of how great you are]
Janis: [‘it’s just-’ but we can’t verbalise how much we can talk to you about anything and everything and you get it, one because we simply can't and two because there is not time ‘-you don’t make me feel like shit for nothing’]
Casey: [brushing some of her hair out of her face so tenderly while we wait for her to finish that sentence if she is going to ‘none of it is owt you’ve gotta feel like shit for’ cos it cannot be overstated how true he thinks that is and how great we think she is in a not at all patronising way, just looking at her like I’m so proud of you without having to actually say it and embarrass her again]
Janis: [just staring at you with all the love in the world, gonna have to hug you insanely hard because you can hug him and if you attempt any kiss right now it will not be chill or over quick enough so hide that face in his neck ‘I wanna be with you’]
Casey: [the way that hug would turn into him just trying to pick her up and carry her away without him even realising cos that’s how much he wants to be with her rn and always too, literally have to put her down sir, SUCH a frustrated noise cos it’s beyond unfair they can’t just go now ‘he’ll be here in a bit and then’]
Janis: [our pout is matching it, we’re so fussy ‘then we can be together’ all the meanings because yep]
Casey: [playing with her pouty bottom lip because you’re not allowed to kiss rn, it’s too risky, but letting her know we would if we could]
Janis: [the way we just wanna run rn and will want to immediately as soon as he’s here and we’re making that as obvious as we can without saying it, all the eye contact ever]
Casey: [pushing her away from us cos can’t deal except not at all actually because we can’t deal with there being any distance between the two of you either, so it’s more like he’s just got his hand on her and is leaving it there until we use it pull her even closer to us than she originally was like no don’t go thank you despite the fact she barely if at all moved]
Janis: [when we are pulled in even closer, taking the time to be in your ear ‘don’t make me’ do we mean leave or stay here and see our husband or what, who knows but we are CLINGING to you like this is sensible at all ‘cos can’t not until we are once again literally interrupted]
Casey: [gonna have the baby cry and interrupt you eventually because she did get fed so it’s feasible she needs a nappy change and he can just be doing that when Jimothy arrives like everything’s so casual and fine instead of her husband having to walk in on y’all being extra as hell, but the way he’d untangle himself SO gently from her to get up and sort this baby out makes me emotional honestly, just whispering ‘it’s okay’ to her as he does]
Janis: [just get your shit ready ‘cos we know your excuse is needing a shower, trying to do anything that isn’t look over at him until Jimothy is here and we can update you on what you missed which is not much]
Casey: [oh the awks, it’s making me cringe to think about, plus I just know Jimothy is gonna take this baby off his brother/take over immediately cos he’s that bitch and also the dad so yeah okay it is his right but I’m sad about it nonetheless]
Janis: [sending Casey off to do whatever ‘cos it’s honestly irrelevant to you Jimothy and asking you to talk to the nurses whilst we ‘shower’ ‘cos obviously we don’t talk to them ever y’all have offended us, you will probably have to stay and talk to him for slightly longer so you’re not immediately running gal]
Casey: [literally, he could be going for a smoke or to the canteen or anywhere cos nobody is expecting him to stick around and have a chat with his brother, it’d be weirder if he did attempt that, soz that you can’t run off asap gal cos that will not be fun but]
Janis: save me a seat
Casey: If there’s other dickheads sat about in there, fuck knows where we’re gonna go, be carrying you out to the car
Janis: sure we could make ‘em leave
Janis: but it’s not like I need my hand stamped to get back in, that’ll be doable
Casey: I get it, you wanna tell someone to piss off and you can’t no nurse til you’re out the door for real, alright, that there’ll be your chance to crack on, girl, I’ll not say or do nothing 
Janis: I don’t like the sound of you saying or doing nothing
Janis: nope, definitely go with your plan instead
Casey: steady on, only as far as letting you get stuck into starting your own row
Janis: haven’t forgot how, don’t think
Casey: course you’ve not
Janis: if I had to hear one of those middle-aged cows tell me to mind my blood pressure for telling them where to go though
Janis: not gonna do anyone any favours, least of all them
Casey: I dunno, might do me one if I’m about to hear it
Janis: 😏 beats when I’m mardy at you, yeah
Casey: don’t always mind that, like
Janis: might know what you mean
Janis: don’t know if I can bring myself to pretend to be mad at you right now though
Casey: not right now, we’ve got loads of time, and I bet it won’t take ages for you to be actually fed up with me for some bollocks, you’ll have no need to fake it
Janis: don’t sound too sure, might think you’re planning it
Casey: Oi, who you calling a wind up
Casey: don’t sound like me at all, that
Janis: never
Janis: couldn’t be half the wind up the world is being lately
Casey: I ain’t accepting that challenge, tah
Janis: I’m nearly done here
Casey: Good, come here
Janis: ask nicer and I’ll not get lost on my way
Casey: you’re not gonna just leave me here on my own, it’d be loads ruder
Janis: yeah, to me
Casey: and me
Janis: more to me, I’m pretty sure
Casey: are you
Janis: yep
Janis: I want you more 
Casey: go on then, now you’re not in labour no more, what are you gonna use as your excuse for why you reckon you do
Janis: no excuses, I know how I feel
Casey: you should know how I feel
Janis: okay, show me
Casey: I have done and I will do
Janis: I’m gonna make you cum, for real
Casey: I want you so fucking much
Janis: We need this 
Casey: I said come here
Janis: [do, however many minutes it takes to excuse yourself and find this chapel moment]
Casey: [do we wanna keep the old vibe or is there anything you wanna do different?]
Janis: [it probably still stands but maybe you will actually wanna penetrate lack of a better word lol ‘cos you’ve kinda done things close to this vibe before now? Idk, we could say you don’t have the time still ‘cos can’t ‘shower’ for ages here esp. as you’re trying to leave]
Casey: [yeah that was my thought cos we’ve cockblocked you ridiculously for an age by now, so realistically you probably would just go all in, even though you’ll have to be quick about it cos she does also have to actually go shower lol]
Janis: [it’s a vibe, you’re gonna have a sesh when you get home, there’s no way this wouldn’t be the most intense quickie of all time]
Casey: [y’all deserve it, the frustration and feels are too high to not, and we absolutely have to bring back him accidentally making her milk come through cos that was a mood and a moment]

nick goode is so interesting as an examination of power structures and not just 1994 nick goode, but enamored-with-ziggy 1978 nick goode i think exemplifies a very clear dichotomy: nick wants to have his fucking cake and eat it too. he wants to be the good guy, the radical, the one who goes against the status quo and helps the less fortunate... but he also wants the systemic power handed down to him from his ancestors, and he doesn't seem to realize that these two cannot coexist. he cannot be the hero while literally invoking the system that creates the villain. just like in real life, those with systemic power cannot help oppressed people without tearing down the systems the privileged benefit from. a lot of people aren't willing to face that. nick goode certainly wasn't, and that's why he's the fucking worst. he's not sadistic, he's clearly perturbed by the death and the violence, but in the end he decides that his power is more important. just like a person in privilege can feel bad for the oppressed, can even bring those less fortunate into their sphere for a time, but as long as they are unwilling to give up the unfair advantages they hold, nothing will get better, and no amount of charity will be able to undo the damage they cause.
