Asking the L&Ds boys "What are we?" Part 1: Zayne

Summary: MC and her boy have been in a sort of situation-ship but MC wants to know why they haven't officially called her their girlfriend

a/n: This ended up being much longer than I thought so I'm making it into 4 parts (one for each boy) starting with Zayne. you can request who you want me to post next if you want

Genres/Warnings: angst, fluff, kinda slow burn

Word count: 635

Other parts: 2, 3, 4

You’re sitting in his office for your scheduled check-up. The bulk of the check-up was done and since you were his last patient that evening he asked you to wait for him to finish so he could drive you home. While he finished up some final notes on his computer you sat in the chair across from him mindlessly scrolling on social media while you waited. After a few minutes of silence, you hear a small knock on the door of the office.

“Come in” Zayne called as he looked up from his computer, you also turned around to see who it could be. A younger man in a lab coat similar to Zayne’s pokes his head in and starts talking

“Sorry to bother you Dr. Zayne… oh,” he stopped talking when he saw you sitting there looking up from your chair. “I didn’t realize your girlfriend was here, I’ll just ask you tomorrow, sorry again” Your heart skipped a beat at the word girlfriend.

The young doctor was about to leave when Zayne cut him off “It’s ok you’re already here now, you might as well just ask.

“Oh..uhh… ok” the young doctor awkwardly steps closer to Zaynes desk and hands him a few papers “Would you be able to sign these for me, since I’m shadowing you for my class I need you to sign them so I can get my class credit” 

“Oh he must be a student,” you thought

Zayne takes them from him and quickly looks through all of them, signs on the dotted line and promptly hands them back to the student. “You did very well these past few weeks, I was glad to have you as my apprentice. I hope to see you someday as a doctor here at Akso” Zayne’s voice sounded so sincere and sweet that even the student blushed a little.

“Thank you, sir, I’ll try my hardest” the student does a deep bow and quickly leaves the room

After he left Zayne went back to finishing up his work, but instead of going back to your doom scrolling you looked up at Zayne. “Why didn’t you correct him?”

Zayne looks up over his computer screen “Huh? correct him on what?” Zayne questioned

“Just now when that student called me your girlfriend, you didn’t correct him.” you scooted your chair closer to his desk and looked him in the eye trying to read his expression

“Why would I correct him? Was he wrong, are you not my girlfriend?” the feigned ignorance in his voice made you lose your words for a second. Once you regain your composure you stand up and look down at Zayne whose lips have now curled up into a slight smirk “no thats not… well you … uh... you’ve never called me that before” you sit back down and look away after that sudden burst of confidence.

Zayne chuckles lightly. “Naturally, I assumed you already were, since every night we have dinner together, I’m the one you call when you’ve had a rough day, we spend hours on the phone together talking about nothing and you stay at my house so often that you even have your own designated closet space and a toothbrush. ” 

You can still barely look at him “yeah but..”

“You’re right I should have corrected him,” he says with a mischievous grin

“What?!” you jump up from your seat worried that you accidentally messed up what you had with Zayne.

“Because at this point we’re basically married” he stands up, takes your hand and lightly kisses it. “But if you need to hear me say it I will” he looks up at your flustered expression, his smile gets even bigger and he looks you in the eye and says “Alright shall we get going, girlfriend?”

Final Lap !

POV: FemJournalist!Reader Pairing: F1 Driver!Percy Jackson x Journalist!Fem Reader Genre: Humor | Fluff | Romance | Tension | Slow Burn | Flirting | Suggestive Comments Word Count: ~3000 words Tag list: @simpingmyassoff , @shootingstargirl2001,@yintous (if you want to be added,comment below! !) Warning:English isn't my first lenguage,enjoy ! ! !

I. On the Starting Grid

Interviewing Percy Jackson was like trying to stay calm while a Formula 1 car sped past you at 300 km/h.

Inevitably, you'd get distracted.

Because Percy wasn’t just a talented driver—he also had that carefree boyish smile that made any professional question feel absurd.

And you, as a sports journalist, had to stay professional.

“Well, Percy, it’s been a pretty intense season so far…” you begin, holding the mic firmly, ignoring how his green eyes lock onto yours with a disarming intensity.

He tilts his head with that ever-confident expression.

“Intense in what sense? Competitive, or the part where I almost died in turn 3 last week?”

You’re usually good at keeping your cool during interviews, but Percy Jackson tests your limits every time.

“I’d say both.” You smile, trying not to play into his game.

“Ah, then yeah. Pretty intense.”

The mechanics and other reporters around him are used to his humor, but you notice something else in his tone. Something playful. Like he’s more interested in your reaction than in the question itself.

“Now that we’re halfway through the season,” you continue, regaining control, “a lot of people are wondering if you plan to renew with your team next year.”

Percy leans his forearms on the pit wall and gives you a slow smile, like he knows something you don’t.

“That depends.”

“On what?”

“On whether you’ll interview me again soon.”

The cameras are still rolling. His mechanics exchange glances. You feel a sudden heat creep up your face.

“Percy…”

He shrugs, unbothered.

“What? It’s a serious question.”

Your producer signals you to keep going, and you force yourself to get it together.

Percy Jackson was a problem.

One with a helmet, a Formula 1 car, and an impressive talent for getting inside your head.

II. Yellow Flag

The problem with Percy Jackson was that he didn’t know when to stop flirting.

From the first time you interviewed him, it became a kind of running joke in the paddock. His answers always included some offhand comment directed at you, and his teammates—pretty much everyone in the paddock—had caught on.

“So, has he proposed yet, or is he still pretending he only wants interviews?” Annabeth Chase, a reporter from a rival network, asks while flipping through her notes.

You sigh.

“Don’t start.”

Annabeth raises an eyebrow.

“Why not? It’s fun watching him fail at flirting.”

You won’t say it out loud, but you don’t think he’s failing all that much.

Especially lately, every time Percy looks at you, there’s an annoying flutter in your stomach.

Annoying… and very, very dangerous.

III. DRS Zone

The next time you interview Percy, it’s after a chaotic race where he finished second. He’s drenched in sweat, hair tousled, and his race suit is unzipped halfway, revealing the top of his fireproof undershirt.

And you… well, you try to stay composed.

“Percy, after that nail-biting finish, do you think there’s anything you could’ve done differently to win?”

He runs a hand through his hair, never taking his eyes off you.

“Yes.”

“Yes?”

“Yes. I should’ve made a bet with you before the race.”

You blink.

“Excuse me?”

Percy grins, clearly enjoying your confusion.

“Yeah, something like: ‘If I make the podium, you owe me dinner.’”

The crowd around you reacts with laughter and murmurs.

You try to come up with something professional to say, but Percy’s already won.

“I think that would violate journalism’s impartiality rules…” you finally say, knowing full well it’s a weak excuse.

Percy doesn’t flinch.

“Then let’s call it a ‘work meeting.’”

Mechanics and journalists around you laugh, and you know this moment will hit social media before you even process it.

Percy Jackson was a problem.

And worst of all, you were starting not to want a solution.

IV. Final Lap

The season’s nearly over. Percy is fighting for the championship.

And you… well, you’re still in denial.

Until Annabeth shows you a video on Twitter.

It’s a clip of Percy, just before a race, when a reporter asks if he has a lucky charm.

“I don’t carry anything special,” he replies. “Although…” He pauses for a second and smiles. “Lately I seem to do well when a certain journalist is on the grid.”

The comments are full of theories and speculation.

And you know Percy Jackson is playing with fire.

Or with you.

Or both.

That night, when you check your phone, there’s a new message.

Percy Jackson: So? Have you thought about the dinner?

You close your eyes and sigh.

Percy Jackson was definitely a problem.

But maybe…

Just maybe…

He was the kind of problem you didn’t want to escape from.

Do y'all want a second part of it? I was thinking about it but idk honestly LOL

Nobel prize winner wife pt2 (toto wolff x reader)

(Social media au)

Toto just revealed who his wife of 15 years is, but if he was going to reveal his family, why not all members of them?

or

in which Toto Wolff decided to let everyone know who is the little boy who made him a father

Note: I am sure this is not what you guys had in mind when you asked for part 2, but I just felt like a little teen in the mix is needed for our favorite it couple. WARNING: like 3 swear words, if I missed anything please let me know

Dad, I love you so much and I swear I will carry you and take care of you when you're old and tired

A/N: One day I may be one of those writers who is well organized and has a preplanned schedule for posting, but unfortunately (and as my first fic), today is not that day. Thank you for your patience during this writing drought. Another chapter will be on the way after this, hopefully in a couple of weeks after another round of edits. Shout out to @cutelittlefakejourneys for your help. As always, thank you for reading and don't be a ghost reader!

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10 | Epilogue 1

Daniel Ricciardo had been in your room last night. After a long race day filled with anxiety, media, McLaren, and subsequently relief and pride, he had stolen a bottle of champagne from McLaren’s afterparty, and your heart. He had hesitantly conditioned the gift on being consumed after the signing and delicately suggested you share the bottle, evidently afraid he would tear the fragile string that connected the two of you since the beginning. But you didn’t want to wait, so you had invited him in.

“So that’s how you open a bottle without spilling half of it?”

“What can I say, I’m a woman of many talents. Would you feel more comfortable if I gave you one of my heels to drink out of?” He laughed.

“Nah, not dirty or sweaty enough.”

He looked around to see what you had made of your private space. In contrast to the crisp outward appearance you presented as you strutted through the paddock in your tailored suits, your hotel room was a mess. Laptop open, papers spread out over every surface. Your petite figure was dwarfed by the oversized, plush hotel robe. Behind closed doors he realized you were quite ordinary. Not that you were unremarkable, but in the sense that you were perfectly imperfect.  

“What are we toasting to?”

“To finish lines.”

You started out at least trying to be prim and proper, using the hotel’s water glasses as vessels. But at a certain point decorum went out the window and you simply passed the bottle between you sitting cross legged on the floor. Even though it was late, the hours passed like sand through an hourglass.  

“Biggest celebrity crush growing up?”

“Leonardo DiCaprio. Easy. Man has been attractive literally at all stages of my life, from the time I was six watching ‘Growing Pains’ to now. Dude aged like fine wine. Unfortunately though I’ve aged out of his dating pool.”

He observed your lips wrap around the mouth of the bottle, how small your hand looked holding it, and his imagination ventured to unclean places.

“You?”

“Josh Allen,” he said without skipping a beat.

“You were five when Josh Allen was born. I know he’s your boyfriend but that doesn’t count.”

“Fine, fine, fine. I might have had a poster of Kylie Minogue in my bedroom when I was like, twelve.”

The two of you sat side by side at the foot of the bed, your hands inched closer towards one another as the night dwelled on.

“If you could do anything in the world, if money didn’t matter, what would you do?”

“Eh. I think I’d still be a lawyer.” He snorted.

“That’s the biggest fucking lie I’ve ever heard.”

“What? Someone’s gotta do it.”

“Come on. Do you actually love this? You’ve been away from your life in the States for months. And for what?”

“Well, I got to travel the world, meet cool celebrities… I got to know you. That must count for something, right?”

You tried to deliver the earnest statement as casually as possible, hoping he wouldn’t read too much into it. But the heft of your words hung in the air and blended with the little popped champagne bubbles that had evaporated. After months of Daniel tormenting you with flirty comments, it was his turn to try to ignore your flattery.

“Really. Money’s no object. Any job in the world. Go.”

“Ok ok fine. I suppose - Oh I don’t know… Maybe I’d be a food critic. I love to eat, I like to complain, and I like writing, so I feel like that’s the perfect marriage of all those things. Or… maybe I’d just drop off the grid completely. I’ve always dreamed about running off to the rolling hills of Italy and living off the land, maybe I’d open a flower shop or something. Really just live out my Under the Tuscan Sun fantasy. But it’s silly. I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am, I could never imagine throwing it all away.”

“It’s not silly.”

Your sideways glance met his deep pools of dark ember, filled with sincerity. You took a swig of champagne and passed the bottle back to him, wishing to wash away the palpable chemistry that swirled around you.

“What about you?”

“I guess I’d still be doing this.” You frowned, sensing his timidness.

“That’s not fair, you made me pick something.”

“Come on, it’s not like I have any transferable skills. I don’t know what else I could do.”

“You literally have two side hustles already. Wine maker and fashion mogul don’t do it for you?”

You thought you could crack a smile out of him, but instead the corners of his mouth downturned slightly.

“It’s not the same. We already decided the second time we met I could never have a desk job. I’m an adrenaline junkie, I’ve always needed to be in a car. Plus my parents worked hard to get me here, to get those opportunities for me, and seeing them happy makes me happy. I don’t know what else there is.”

“Your mother has a small heart attack every time you race.” You tried to placate his uncertainty, but the light conversation had turned heavy and there was no undoing it.

“Oh, that’s neither here nor there,” he brushed off.

“What about all the cameras constantly in your face? Don’t you miss being anonymous?”

This seemed to make him pause.

“I do… but at the same time, part of the fun was getting to make a name for myself. I’m not sure I fully knew what I was getting myself into, but I knew that fame came with the territory if I was actually good at what I was doing. Do I miss being able to walk down the street or go to a restaurant without being bombarded? Yeah for sure. But even when I had that, I don’t think I enjoyed it because I was always trying to get to the next step.” He paused, the furrow in his brow coming undone. “Do I love it right now in this very moment? No. I need a fucking break. I think you corporate people call it ‘burnout’ or whatever. But I’ve loved it up until now, and I know I’ll love it again eventually. I really can’t imagine doing anything else.”

The space between your fingers had vanished. As though your extremities had a mind of their own, you both looked down to study how they folded over one another. There was no recoiling. Your hand, that apparently had its own free will, sent signals to you to look up again. It was ironic that you had partially declined his invitation to the McLaren afterparty because you were afraid of winding up in a situation that vaguely resembled something exactly like this. Tomorrow was so close yet so far, and your wherewithal to resist the magnetic pull between the two of you was at an all time low. Over the last week leading up to the final race, flashbacks of the kiss in Brazil replayed on a loop in your mind. If you blinked you would’ve missed it when it had happened in real time. But the memory teased you and champagne was buzzing through your veins, clouding your judgment. You wanted to explore. Like a moth to a flame, you began leaning in, your eyes fluttering as his lips went in and out of focus.

Instead of being met with Daniel’s embrace, you toppled over as he got to his feet.

“Champagne’s gone, guess that’s my cue for bed.”

You propped yourself on your elbow as you looked up at him incredulously. How much champagne had you had, that you had so badly misread the situation? You averted your gaze in embarrassment.

“Yes, I suppose you’re right.”

His extended hand came into view. You slowly looked up again, his warm and inviting eyes conveying more than words ever could. You cautiously accepted his help as he got you to your feet, his strong hold steadying you.

“Do you need any help in the morning?” Yeah, just avoid Daniel until it’s over so you don’t lose your job. That would probably be a good start.

“No, I’m good, thanks though. Do you need any help?”He laughed, mostly out of astonishment that you could possibly ask such a question when you had already done so, so much.

“Yeah, if you could just sign for me too that would be great.” You rolled your eyes and shoved his arm. “Get some rest, yeah?”

And then he was gone. But how could you possibly just get some rest? You tossed and turned, never quite falling into a deep slumber. The scene of two friends on the floor sharing champagne and secrets played over and over. Friends? Colleagues? Business partners? Something else?

It festered as you got ready, before even the sun was up. The tried and true pink suit felt like it might burst at the seams, unable to contain the palpitations in your chest - a concoction of anticipation, nerves, anxiety, and excitement.

-

It was strange, having such a momentous deal take place outside the confines of a grandiose conference room with a dramatic, long, mahogany table overlooking some city skyline and perhaps a beautiful, shiny body of water. It was a status symbol of Big Law, the firm’s ability to peacock to clients how successful they were. The bigger the room and better the view, the more deserving they were of that outrageously high retainer fee they charged.

Instead, you walked into what was left of Red Bull hospitality after the big, final race weekend. Of course it was sleek and modern in its own right, but it gave an air of approachability that was lacking at the firm’s office. Nonetheless, you tried to import formality back into the space. You had printed and made matching binders of copies of the agreement for everyone present, appropriately tabbed and color coordinated. You brought blue, black, and red pens, highlighters, sharpened No. 2 pencils, and legal pads with the firm’s name emboldened at the top. You had gotten to Red Bull early to set up the space yourself, so that all materials were spaced out accordingly for each chair at the table. You took a step back to admire your handy work. Yes, this would do just fine.

Your phone went off.

DR: Where are you? We’re going to be late.

Y/N: I’m already here.

DR: 🙁

DR: You didn’t wait for me?

DR: It’s going to be weird walking there without you.

Y/N: I figured you wouldn’t want to be over an hour early and you could use the extra sleep. I’m sure you’ll manage.  

-

It was weird for Daniel walking to the paddock without you. The whole morning had been weird. It had been too quiet. There was no offkey musical number through his bathroom wall. He missed the sprightly knock at his door that came about ten minutes too early. He missed guessing which of your faces he’d get when you realized he wasn’t ready. He was amazed at how quickly he had gotten used to you. Had they really only been at this hotel for four days? Five?

His memory taunted him as he walked to Red Bull. He recalled himself holding his breath in anticipation as you closed in on him last night. He felt his heartbeat all the way up to his throat, his pulse points throbbed. It was an out of body experience, watching in slow motion as he pulled himself away from you. He finally learned it was for the best, even though the dejected look on your face pained him.

When he got there, he was disappointed to discover he was the last to arrive, wishing he had more moments alone with you. Christian, Joe, and in-house Red Bull lawyer bros sat around you, centering you as a vibrant glow in a sea of dull blues and grays. He was relieved to discover that you had reserved the seat next to you. He felt his face involuntarily break into grin as he noticed you notice him come into frame.

Christian, who was sitting across from you with his back to the door, saw the slightest twitch of your facial muscles. He whipped around, before a smile was fully formed, knowing exactly what it meant.

“The man of the hour! So nice of you to finally join us.” Everyone stood up for another round of hand shakes and self-congratulatory pats on the back. He could hardly maintain eye contact, his gaze constantly darting back to you. You rose to your feet, but remained in place, patiently waiting your turn for him.

He finally stood in front of his reserved chair, directly facing you. He wasn’t sure what to do – he knew you so well, a handshake hardly seemed appropriate. But you were in front of professionals so a hug wouldn’t do. He knew what he wanted to do, and that certainly wasn’t an option. Fortunately you made the decision for him, instinctively sticking your hand out. He would’ve been a little sad about it, but for the knowing twinkle in your eye. Your palms firmly met, and he appreciated how soft and delicate yours were. It was like you were holding hands.

“Eh-hem.”

You cleared your throat, eyes suddenly piercing. It wasn’t until he felt you try to pry your hand away that he realized he had been shaking it about six seconds too long. He finally relinquished his grip and you both sat down.

“Sorry, I spaced out,” he whispered to you. You only gave him a twitch of a smile and a curt nod in return before swiveling your chair to face the other side of the table.

“Now then. Let’s get started, shall we?”

-

Daniel almost felt silly for pushing this whole ordeal back an extra day. Almost. He could imagine you marching out of there muttering this could have been an email under your breath. The contract was, for all intents and purposes, finished and truly just needed to be signed. It only took twenty minutes to do a walk through of the terms, which of course no one objected to after the countless back-and-forth’s of redlines, late night phone calls, and negotiations.  And then, with a swift flick of his wrist, it was set in stone.

He stared at the wet blue ink on the page. He didn’t realize he was smiling until his cheeks started to hurt.

“I guess we’re engaged now. This feels familiar.” When he finally looked up Christian was beaming back at him like a proud dad.

“Welcome back, Daniel. Welcome home.”

-

“You do realize that could’ve been an email?” He laughed as he waited behind for you to pack up your stuff. Joe in typical fashion had exchanged quick pleasantries after the signing and was gone in a flash, off to the next client. The other Red Bull representatives followed suit not long after.

“It could’ve, but where’s the fun in that?” He watched as you stuffed the last binder into your bag, fighting with the zipper. When you finished you looked up to find him staring intently at you, causing you to nearly drop your bag.

“Can I help you?”

He leaned against the table, crossing his arms over his chest. You stared at his tan forearms, noticing his veins bulge.

“That depends… do you like surprises?” You did your best to hide a gulp, your throat suddenly dry. He couldn’t possibly be insinuating what you thought…

But if he was, two could play at that game.

“Depends on the surprise,” you purred, leaning forward ever so slightly to show off the v of your necklace that led a trail to your hidden cleavage.  

He leaned forward to meet you part way, not breaking eye contact.

“I think you’ll like this one,” he whispered. You felt goosebumps raise on your skin, giddy in suspense. Your heart was about to burst through your chest. Was he really about to take you right here in this office?

Without warning he pushed himself from the table and walked quickly towards the door, leaving you bewildered in the middle of the room. He stopped in the doorway and looked back at you innocently.

“What are you waiting for? Follow me!”

He proceeded to skip down the hallway, forcing you to jog to try to keep up with him.

“Daniel! Wait up! What the hell?”    

He led you to the exit of Red Bull hospitality before he finally stopped.

“I may or may not have called in a favor.”

“Daniel, this isn’t funny. What –“

You stopped in your tracks as the doors opened. With your jaw on the floor, you let out a silent scream as Geraldine Estelle Halliwell Horner, aka Geri, aka Ginger Spice, aka one-fifth of the iconic girl group The Spice Girls, stood in front of you in the flesh. As a child of the 90’s, this moment felt biblical.

Apparently Christian was also there. “Oh Darling, I have someone I want to introduce you to.”

You were already barely functioning when she turned away from her husband and made direct eye contact with you. Then, as though it were a conversation about the weather, she very casually said “Oh hello. You must be y/n, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s very nice to meet you.”

Your hand gripped over your chest. Eyes wide, you looked to Daniel to confirm she was not a hologram, but he only gave you a wide grin, then back to Geri who was waiting patiently for you to act like a human which was unfortunately too big of an ask.

“I-you’re-ohmygodIcan’tbelievethisishappening-I-hi-I mean…. You know my name.” You dissolved into fits of nervous giggles. Daniel stood there very pleased with himself. He was a little insulted you weren’t this starstruck when you met him, but it was overshadowed by the immense satisfaction he felt that he initiated something that made you so happy.

Geri gave a sympathetic smile. Clearly this was not the first time a fan lost their shit at her mere presence. “I do. I hear you’ve been very busy the last few weeks.”

“What? Oh, right. Yeah I’ve spent a lot of time with Daniel and your husband.” you blabbed, quickly changing the topic. “Do you and the girls still hang out regularly? Spice World was my favorite movie growing up, and-and-and I memorized all of the choreography to Stop and Spice Up Your Life.” You continued talking a million miles a minute.

“Well that’s good to know in case we ever need a fill-in,” she joked trying to put you at ease. Your demeanor quickly sobered and you put a hand over your heart.

“Oh, Miss Halliwell. I could never replace Victoria on your next reunion tour, but if you absolutely insist I would be honored to step in to ensure the show goes on,” you swore in earnest. Geri slowly nodded, locking eyes with Daniel behind you doing her best to telecommunicate with him. What the fuck. He only shrugged as he continued beaming.

“Well, I’ll keep that in mind,” she said slowly and politely. Daniel finally interjected.

“Y/n, you have to pack and I’m sure Geri and Christian have their own flights to catch…”

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to take up so much of your time,” you said, Daniel’s voice beginning to bring you back down to earth. You rummaged through your bag, before proudly presenting your hand to her. “Here’s my card in case you or any of the girls need any type of legal assistance, happy to go over any contracts for you or whatever else you may need.” Geri’s forced smile relaxed, appreciating your hustle and intellect.

“This is great, thank you. Girl power, right?” And just like that you were back on Saturn. You proudly held up a peace sign as though you were giving an oath.

“Girl Power. Forever,” you swore. Daniel gently put his hand on your lower back to try and herd you along, but you turned to look back as you walked. “And now that you have my number, let me know if you ever want to get your nails done together or get coffee or even a yoga class!” you called after her. Geri chuckled and waved.

“It was nice meeting you too,” she shouted back.

“Good seeing you too y/n – what am I, chopped liver?” You kept walking and waved him off.

“Oh right, sorry. Yeah yeah, nice seeing you too Christian. Pleasure doing business.”

You proceeded to gush about the encounter the entire way back to the hotel. Your hands flailed in the air as you excitedly repeated every little detail, even though Daniel had also been there to witness the whole thing. Your eyes were bright and wide, still processing the adrenaline.

“So did I do alright then?” he asked cheekily as you approached your rooms.

“Did you do alright?! That was one of the best moments of my life, I could kiss you!” 

The words slipped out before you had a chance to think, stopping both of you in your tracks. They hung heavy in the air, waiting for an answer. But for the tension that had dragged on, and built, and compounded on itself for months, the statement would never be interpreted as anything other than an innocent, facetious comment for dramatic effect. But Daniel looked at you intently hoping you meant it. He turned his body to align with yours as you remained frozen, and cautiously stepped forward to remove the space between you. Your mouth parted slightly, trying to find words to explain yourself but drew a blank. He leaned in ever so slightly, his hot breath beating on the side of your face and tickling your ear.

“So do it,” he whispered, just loud enough for you to hear him. You dared to lock eyes with him, searching for an answer. His hand finally did what it had wished to do for so long, gently pushing hair out of your face and finding a home at the nape of your neck. He left it there, but he didn’t have to use any force to bring you together as your heads naturally tilted and pulled inwards like magnets. It was dizzying having his face so close to yours, feeling his breath tickle your nose and your cheeks, stoking the flush that had your face burning.

It was only when your lips were so close that you inhaled each other’s oxygen that you suddenly remembered you were in a very public hallway. You were still in your suit, that felt like it was about suffocate you. To his disappointment, and yours, you fell into old patterns. You pried yourself out of his orbit, stumbling backwards.

“Would you look at the time? I, um, need to go pack. Long flight tomorrow,” you stammered, as you continued backwards towards your room. 

“y/n…”

“Congratulations again, I’m super happy for you.”

“Can we at least talk about this?” You fumbled with your keys pretending not to hear him, your focus on the floor.

“It was great working with you. You have a bright future back at Red Bull, I’m sure everything will work out. Have a safe trip back to Perth.”

And with that final, clinical, arms-length message, you left him in the hallway. 

[that-loser-101]

My headcanons about the preps! (Besides derby) :

Bif Taylor:

1. Bif listens to punk rock/metal music, I'm talking misfits and metallica on full blast headphones anytime he's walking down the sidewalk.

2. Bif had a punk phase back when he was 16-17 (I headcanon him to be 18), but stopped because derby thought his choice of fashion was "odd" and made him look "poor". Now he just dresses like an office worker (dress shirt, basic suit & tie, ect...) .

3. Back when he got bullied, he got stabbed in the arm with a pencil once (he still has the scar of it on his arm. He also has multiple other scars that have healed mostly).

4. Even though bif makes himself seem like a snobby guy, he often offers to do his dad's paperwork for him because he feels guilty about asking his dad for things and wants to repay him in some way.

5. He gives derby silent treatment anytime derby insults him (like when derby called him a "filthy Democrat", he stopped talking to derby for a week straight before derby eventually apologized).

6. He takes anti-depressants everyday in the morning (it's stated by Dr bambillo that bif is or has been on medication).

7. He was a mama's boy, but his mom passed away when he was like, 12.

8. (This is if social media existed in the bully universe) bif would most likely have a private account where he posts things about his life, maybe even hate posts about the greasers.

Parker Ogilvie:

1. Parker is half scottish (since the last name "ogilvie" is of scottish, I've figured that he's scottish).

2. He actually has a half-decent family (unlike most of the preps) and has made an amazing bond with his little step-sister.

3. He's probably an art kid. Not only cuz he likes art, but also because he hopes that maybe if he makes a drawing "good enough" Ms. Philips would fall for him (it's stated in his wiki that he has a crush on Ms. Philips) .

4. He likes to carry around a study sketchbook with himself and often draws the other preps, gnomey, and Chester (Chad's pet pit bull).

5. He reads spiderman comics and often draws different spidersonas' in the sketchbook he has at home (he keeps this sketchbook to himself and doesn't show anyone, it's basically filled with stuff he wouldn't want the others to see).

6. His house is actually in a town next to bull worth town, but because he attends bull worth academy and his house is far away, he usually stays over at the other preps' houses and goes home on the weekends (he doesn't find this exhausting since he goes home via subway, and he really isn't that big of a target because his family isn't rich rich like Derby's).

7. He'd post his drawings from his study sketchbook and post about scottish culture on social media (his account wouldn't be private, so the greasers would just be posting hate comments under his posts).

8. He uses emojicons whenever he comments something, things like: :) , :( , :/ , >:( , ect....

9. He'd be best friends with tad and Justin.

10. He probably wears grunge or street style clothes anytime he's out of school, but had an emo phase back when he was 13 (he sometimes wears emo make-up like messy eyeliner and stuff inside his room anytime he's bored).

Chad Morris:

1. He has a normal family, just that his parents are strict.

2. He either has a buzz cut, a full on afro, or just dreads (I swear I need fan art of him with hair. He'd probably have the sickest hair ever).

3. He has his left ear pierced (like in his beta design).

4. He's part scottish (just like with the last name "Ogilvie", "Morris" is a name of scottish origin).

5. Often wears old money or minimalist clothes.

6. He is freakishly obsessed with his pet dog Chester (not in a creepy way, just like how someone gets cuteness aggression anytime they look at something "cute").

7. He'd probably post photos of Chester every second like Chester would disappear if he stopped.

8. He's usually flirty towards Bryce and talks with him the most out of all the other preps.

Bryce Montrose:

1. He often complains about everything "wrong" with bull worth town and its people to try and "relate" with the other preps.

2. He's part scottish like Chad (This is the same with Chad and Parker, idk why most of them have scottish last names, I'm making all of them scottish atp :'] ).

3. He has Poliosis, specifically his hair. He has a lock of white hair and often uses boxed hair dye (cuz he can't afford to get it professionally dyed) to make it the same color as the rest of his hair because he fears people will make fun of him for it (not even Chad knows about it).

4. Anytime Chad tried to flirt with him, he reminds him that they're in public (or with the other preps) cuz he doesn't want to get "humiliated".

5. He doesn't really have that big of a fashion sense, so anytime he's going out, he just slaps a suit on and calls it a day.

6. He'd probably have the most blank social media profile ever.

Justin Vandervelde:

1. He reads an godly amount of Greek mythology books and has made it his whole personality (apart from his corny egg jokes and his love for sports and surfing).

2. He's part Dutch (because his last name is Dutch, I think you get the gist of it).

3. He loves to go surfing and swimming at the beach and even makes sand castles, the beach is basically where he lives atp.

4. He's good friends with Parker and tad.

5. Parker often jokes about him having a "crush" on Ted (the quarterback, not tad), and he always denies it (but he's honestly questioning himself on whether or not he likes Ted romantically).

6. He posts surfing videos on his social media profile (and gets insulted by the greasers in his comments like the other preps).

7. He wears indie and retro style clothes outside of school cuz he loves vivid and neon colors.

Gord Vandome:

1. He's part French.

2. He has his ears pierced for maximum customization. Sick B·)

3. He has an extremely high self-esteem and doesn't care that the rest of the preps dislike him (I don't even think he knows that they dislike him tbh).

4. He'd be caught dead wearing skinny jeans (to him, wearing skinny jeans is like betraying himself).

5. He likes to explore a lot of different fashion styles but usually wears elegant and old money style clothing.

6. He posts fashion tips and videos on his profile all while Johnny sends him death threats in his comment sections (he's also kinda popular and is basically bull worth town's version of wisdom Kaye).

Tad Spencer:

1. Tad is half British and is probably the only prep with a British accent (I know that his english accent is supposed to be "fake", but let me imagine it being an actual accent and leave me be pls).

2. Parker often comforts him about his father's abusive behavior anytime they're at school or out in town (he's also good friends with Justin, but Justin doesn't know much about Tad's family).

3. He, Justin, and Parker usually draw with chalk in the Harrington House's courtyard and often makes drawings about the greasers and how much they suck (the reason why I made this headcanon was because I saw chalk drawings of hopscotch and doodles on the floor of the Harrington House's courtyard and thought it'd be cool to add this).

4. Tad is kind of an age regressor, that's why he often draws things with Parker. Parker often praises him for his drawing skills and Tad just awkwardly thanks him cuz he has never been complimented about anything before (he looks up to Parker and Justin).

5. He often wears slightly oversized hoodies and sweaters cuz they're comfortable.

6. Even though he hates Gord, he often asks him for fashion advice and what to wear.

7. He'd post random memes he found on the internet without giving credit to the original creator of said meme because he thinks it's "unnecessary".

I'm planning on making a separate post for my headcanons about the clique leaders, so just wait y'all! Bye :D

⇄ ◃◃ ⅠⅠ ▹▹ ↻. ᴠᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ : ▮▮▮▮▮▮▯▯▯

tracklist: 19

1.- jealous girl → Jealous girl is about when you want someone who is already in a relationship. NOTE- y'all I SWEAR this isn't about something going on in my dr LOL

2.-Say yes to heaven → This is about about when Chris and I stopped communicating for two weeks and though I was so upset with him I still wanted to be with him.

3.-Edward Siccorhands → being with someone who is broken and in ways unfixable but as much as you want to be with them and help them you cannot and you're only hurting yourself in the process.

4.-Hollywoods dead → it's an melancholic point of view of lost love and disappoint with the culture of fame. With the use of stars from the 20th century and the pain along with it e.g. "Elvis is crying" showing that the life of hollywood is dead and over not like how it used to be.

5.-gods game → It's about the media hurting you but then also loving you at the same time. Which turns into a tug of war deal inside your head not knowing what to believe if that makes sense

6.-velvet crowbar → being so in love with someone it turns into an obsession and you cant be without them

7.-your girl → This is about being in love with someone you're not with and like it says wanting to be their girl

8.-russian roulette → this is a dark love song about how you will still love someone even through the hard times risking everything for them and wanting them to be the last love of your life

9.-sand → This is a sad song about no longer being with someone, and even though you're not together anymore, you still feel like they have parts of you. For example, the metaphor in the song is 'you have more pieces of me than the desert has sand.' Although they have pieces of you with them, you don't have any to hold on to, as in the lyrics 'and I have less pieces of you that I can hold in my hand.'

10.-ridin ft: ASAP Rocky → its honestly just a fun song about a guy and girl having fun together and the relationship is nothing serious

11.-Fantasize → this is about wanting to do the.. devils tango with someone already in a relationship

12.-stay alive → about a sad time in my life when I got so much hate from Chris's fans for being with him that it took a toll on my mental health but also having the people who love and cherish me be my side making me get better

13.-fragile things → this is about love being so fragile like a glass antique that it could break any minute if not taken care of

we are finally done with Hollywoods dead!! Now onto the deluxe

1.- tired of singing the blues → feelings of burnout and exhaustion, both physically and mentally. Also reflection on how you are tired of dealing with the same issues and problems over and over again, and longs for a change or a break from the routine.

2.-ride monologue → this is kind of like the song before the song think of 'Not My Responsibility' right before 'Overheated' by Billie Eilish the meaning play into one another if that makes sense. This is just me resighting a poem i wrote on freedom

3.-ride → the feeling of wanting freedom in your life wanting to go and be free from all problems and worries

4.-pink champagne → this is about being sad (not related to the relationship) and also in love with someone and wanting them to stay with you through it and love them even if you don't feel happy (abt me & my man Chris hehe)

5.-American beauty → about societal pressure and expectations for women to conform to certain standards of beauty and femininity. Along with my beauty, a lot of people talk about it, good or bad. People put me in a position where I'm considered the pinnacle of beauty, so I'm expected to uphold that standard.

6.-breakfast in bed → sad song for my sad girls ofc. This is about losing someone you didn't want to and struggling to come to terms or comprehend why it ended with not wanting to move on.

longest post of my life

Hi hi hiii :) super long rambling murderbot episode 1 + 2 episode thoughts under the cut ⬇️ it’s unlikely that anyone who follows me on here is into murderbot BUT! if you are please hit my line so we can discuss 🙏

I had surgery about a week ago and have had a really rough recovery from it (like. real bad.) so i have been SUPER looking forward to seeing the murderbot show and it definitely delivers!!!

First off I wanna say I loveeee sec units armor in the show. it’s definitely different than how it’s described in the books/art but i feel like that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. to me it makes perfect sense that MB would be absolutely COVERED in the companys logo and i think helps convey the specific kind of weird a sec unit is. like imagine if YOU 🫵 were a space communist scientist and you were forced to bring a robot with you on your mission that you dont want and it was absolutely covered in tesla and amazon logos? also it has guns. also its ALWAYS listening. and according to your beliefs it is the same as a human being. would be … creepy. also i think it helps hammer in the point of how MB is JUST considered a product its RIGHT THERE in your face every. single. time. you see its helmet.

the costuming in general is just really great :) i like how real everything feels and it just LOOKS GOOD like its made of real fabrics and not that cheep weird fabrics im seeing so much off in most tv shows and movies nowadays

The performance given by MBs actor is sooo good!!! i wasn’t convinced that fully convinced that the would be able to fully capture how autistic MB is. but I was wrong!!! and like. this is the most repented ive ever felt by a piece of media . this is of course largely how i felt about the book series already but the performance given really added to that. the way that MB speaks when it talks outloud is just!!! like i do a lot of the time!!!! especially when im uncomfortable or scared!!! the sort of awkward staggering sentences!!! the “weird” tone. I DO THAT!!! WE HAVE ALMOST THE SAME CADENCE !!! AND THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS!!!!!!!! MB not being able to control its facial expressions is something thats mentioned a lot and very relatable but like!!! the actor is pulling the same faces as i do regularly!!!!-!-!-$718272 ITS JUST LIKE ME FR 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ as well as its body language!!!! oh my god!!!!! all the acting is sooo so good so far :)) everyone is doing such a good job yayy 😁😁😁

Things that a bit worried about: in the books several of the characters of multiple partners and its a casual normal thing but it seems like. they might be changing this a little for drama?

in the books dr mensah is mentioned to having multiple life partners as well as several kids while in the show they ONLY mention the kids which by itself is doesn’t matter but with everything else makes me go…hrm. first off the way the present pin-lee and arada (? i get the humans named mixed up a lot so apologies if i do that here) as specifically being MARRIED instead of life partners is an interesting choice? combined with their conversation about not having a “contract” with an unnamed ex-third who pin-lee calls crazy while they discuss asking ratthi followed immediately by pin-lee going “if shes happy…im happy…” when arada leaves??? ermmm??? and then actually having ratthi sign a contract before getting together??? its not really a big deal because MB hates romance so it only briefly talks about it a few times and tbh i do nawttt remember really any romance stuff i also have a tendency to skip those parts. so maybe im misrepresenting it but i thought a society were it was normal and extremely common for people to have multiple relationships really interesting!!

they added a scene were MB gets interrogated by gurathin which wasn’t in the book if i remember right and i REALLYYYY enjoyed that. MB saying “i dont know what its like not to be me so i cant say what its like” when asked what its like to be a sec unit oh my god. oh my god. banger. this robot is AUTISTIC! also i love how they added mensah having panic attacks! i absolutely adore her and i think showing her struggling with mental health issues but still being such a strong and great leader is really cool and a good addition .

i loved EVERY scene with sanctuary moon!!! its so funny and campy and i love the star trek references ehhehehe i love the crazy crazy hair on that one guy. over all its really solid!!! and im excited for more! i just REALLYYYY hope they dont add an unnecessary jealousy plotline

Zayne vs Sylus x Female M/C Content 🩵🩶

—————————————————

Before you begin, some notes from the author:

I want this story to be personally connected to you as the reader, which is why I did not name the main female lead. Throughout the story you will see her referred as “M/C” abbreviated for Main Character. Feel free to use your name/nickname as you’re reading it.

Thank you, reader!

—————————————————

~ Between Shadows and Ice: Sylus and Zayne’s Battle for Her ~

Preface: M/C has been through a lot in the past year. Although she has faced many challenges, she continues to push past them by focusing on her career and well being. This all comes to a halt when she realizes she has feelings for her primary care doctor: Dr. Zayne, who lately has been very curious and protective about M/C’s other partners, including a recent hookup in a mission with Sylus, the leader of Onychinus in the N-109 Zone. Although M/C and Sylus have not seen one another since, that does not impede Sylus from being curious about his kitten’s day-to-day lfe. And now the arrogant leader of Onychinus is adamant to find her and not let her go again. How will Zayne react when he realizes his girl is about to be taken away? How could he ever let that happen?

Chapter 1: Pilot

I was sitting at the Hunters’ HQ when Tara came up to my desk. She was wearing her work out clothes and a damp towel hung around her neck.

“What’chu doin’?” She gleamed over my desk, which was covered in papers and binders of different shapes and sizes, all color coded to my investigation.

These past two weeks have been brutal, since trying to earn a promotion and reduce the percentage of Wanderers attacking Linkon. In the past year alone there has been a 2% increase in Metaflux fluctuations, causing Wanderers to wreck havoc. Part of my investigation has been to be able to reduce it at least 1% before the year ends, but that would mean—

“Hello! M/C? Are you even listening to me?” Tara interrupts my thoughts.

Since she got here, this is the first time I notice her. I glance up at her, a bit confused as to how long she has been standing there. I feel very tired all of the sudden.

“Are you okay?” She mutters, “You seem like you’ve gotten no rest.” I notice she has her workout clothes composed by a purple exercise jacket and some blue leggings.

I frown.

“You only work out at night before heading home.” I think outloud.

“It is night…” she looks even more concerned now, which causes me to panic.

“Right, right!” I say with a fake chuckle, rubbing the back of my head. “It’s time to—“

“Go home?" She suggests, getting closer to my desk and lowering herself to my level. Sitting on my white desk chair, I can see the water from the towel staining her jacket as she looks straight into my eyes.

“M/C, you don’t look well at all... I told you I was gonna work out this morning. You had less than half of these papers…” She glances at my desk and notices the pile. She recalls I was printing 10 copies in the morning and my desk was neatly organized. It was so organized, in fact, that she was able to grab my strawberry pen she loves so much. She had reminded me how jealous she was as part of her visiting my desk routine. And I, as I have done each time, insisted she takes it. Tara always refuses and says it’s a “special touch” to borrow it from me. She considers it to be her lucky pen that lives on my desk.

That pen is nowhere in sight. Maybe it's not so lucky after all? It is probably dead buried underneath all those papers.

I sigh, placing my fingers over the ridge of my nose and closing my eyes.

This causes Tara to giggle, “You’re making expressions like Zayne lately.” She says as she stands straight.

Shit. Zayne.

My eyes shoot open and quickly rummage through the papers to try to find my phone. Some of them fall onto the floor, which Tara quickly scrambles to pick up in a panicked woah!.

When I find my phone, the strawberry pen emerges. This causes Tara to immediately launch herself to grab it.

“I found it!” She squeals but I ignore her.

I have 10 unread messages from Zayne, and a missed video call.

05:30 - Hope your day goes well today. Be sure to drink plenty of water.

07:00 - Did you have breakfast yet? I recall you said your shift started earlier today.

7:30 - I will be having lunch at around 2 PM today. Can we video call then or will you be at work?

10:00 - I just got off surgery. There’s been a lot of injured people lately. Your calculations of Wonderers appearing more frequently was not off…

11:00 - I have a small break. I will be taking a nap. If you need anything you can call me. I don’t mind waking up to chat a bit.

11:45 - I got woken up with an emergency. Still, call me if you need anything.

13:00 - I managed to get things under control here. I will be eating earlier.

13:05 - Have you eaten?

Missed video call from Ice Prince ☃️

15:00 I hope everything is okay. I imagine you’re on a mission somewhere.

17:00 I’m going home now. The movie tickets I bought last week were for 7:30. Do I pick you up?

I glanced at the clock: 21:07.

Fuck.

“Tara, I really have to go.” I stand up quickly, more papers fall onto the ground. I reach down to pick them up and put them at the desk messily and neglecting the organized pattern I had on my desk before. As more papers fall, I pick them up and dodge Tara's head, who is also scramming to pick up the papers with me.

“You’re gonna leave it like this?” She looks up from holding some of the papers against her chest, “Just don’t let Captain Jena see—“

“I gotta go.” I snap, causing her to give me a soft look.

I raise my eyebrows in apology, realizing I have not even spent time with my best friend. “I’m sorry, Tara. I really just lost track of today and I had some things to do.”

“With Zayne?” She winks, a smirk growing on her lips as she places my papers down.

I blush slightly at her acknowledgement.

Zayne and I have been in a “situationship” for a while. Neither of us has really fezzed up about pursuing more, especially since we’re busy with work. I have not really told him that I developed some feelings for him, nor do I plan to. I have genuinely enjoyed the time we have spent and our nights together. Why would I ruin that with my selfish feelings? Just because I get some extra serotonin and dopamine when I am around him.

I feel my face hot as I remember the most recent one: it was in the parking garage at the Akso Hospital. We were inside his car when he called me after a hard surgery. One thing led to another… and…

I shake my head to clear off the memory.

Whelp. He’s gonna wanna have to do nothing with me after today.

“We were supposed to go to the movies today.” I explain to Tara.

“Shit.” Tara’s eyes widen, “You didn’t go.”

“I didn’t even bother letting him know.” I groan, “I was too focused with work and ignored his texts."

“Well, what are you waiting for?? Hurry! Call him back!!”

“No,” I sigh, “No. I think I’m gonna go to his place and apologize.”

I rub my face, realizing too late that I had mascara on and probably just smeared it. The moment I feel the texture I stop and click my tongue.

“Dammit… Today’s not my day.” I mutter.

Tara hands me the towel around her neck. I make a mortified face and she laughs.

“I will break out if I use that thing..."

“You will get gray hairs when you see what you’ve done to your eyes.” She winks, “Let’s get you out of here. I can you drop you off at Zayne’s…”

Now I’m the one giving her the puppy eyes, appreciating her for not judging me and giving me a hand.

Tara and I have become inseparable since we started our job as Hunters. Her desk is unfortunately nowhere near mine, but we make the effort to see each other throughout the day and send each other funny videos at lunch time or in-between missiong. We’ve gone on a couple of dates shopping and trying out new restaurants, and she tells me every morning what her Tarot cards said about how her day would be.

After Caleb and Grandma’s death, she stepped in to become the sister I never had. Of course, no one is ever going to replace them, but she has truly become someone special to me and has helped me countless times. Right after their passing she made me some carrot cake and brought it to my house. When I opened the door, I had not showered for days and was wearing some pjs. The first thing I noticed was the cake. I don’t even like carrot cake, but I ate it and cried with her that day. She offered spending the night and helped me with some chores so I could shower. That was when she became even more important to me. So even if it meant I had to hear her rambling about my strawberry pen and how much she wants one but won’t take mine, or how much I dislike carrot cake but she makes it, I will always choose her.

I smile.

“Sounds good.” I nod, pushing away her towel with an apologetic nod, “I’ll owe you.”

“An outing~” She sings as we walk outside of the office settings.

“T-“

“Ah, tsch, tsch!” She pouts, waving her finger in a ‘no’ motion. “I don’t wanna hear it! You have time for these boys but don’t ever go out with me anymore. I deserve a date with my bestie! Pleaasseeee” She makes an exaggerated look and heightens her voice as she begs.

I laugh, “Alright, alright. We can go-“

“Tomorrow!”

I stop walking “Tara-“ I see her disapproving glance. I sigh in response. “Tomorrow’s my day off, so we can go.” I say defeatedly.

I had intended to come in to work on those papers, but now that I promised her this…

“WOOHOOO!” She shouts through the empty offices, hopping as we walk together, “We’re gonna have so much fun!!!”.

*********************************************************************

I unlock the door to Zayne’s apartment using the keys he gave me and notice the living room is dark. Months ago, Zayne had given me the passcode to enter the building and the keys to enter his apartment when we rescued some puppies {coming soon chapter}. He never really asked for his copy back. I did try to give it back to him once by leaving it in his desk at the hospital while he was busy, but it managed to find its way back to me with some jasmine flowers and a note that said I was welcome to come in and out as I please. We don’t really spend that much time here, though I am familiar enough with the place that I know my way through it even though the lights are off.

I traverse his living room carefully, noticing that his bedroom light is on but the door is closed. The golden light underneath the door shines through the living room and illuminates my combat boots that I wear for work.

I take a deep breath before opening the door.

His bedroom is organized, as is the rest of his apartment. The bed is made except for the edge, which has the outline of where he probably sat moments ago. Next to his nightstand are his glasses, on top of a book, which indicates he was readying himself for bed. He always reads before sleeping to quiet his mind. It was probably some medical book like the ones he re-reads all the time.

The sound of the shower being on catches my attention. The door to the bathroom is open and steam comes from it, indicating that Zayne is indeed showering in there. From his bedroom, Linkon City is visible through his massive windows, that are essentially his wall connecting to the bathroom. He has curtains that are electric, they will wind down and black out the room for when he needs some serious sleep, but for the most part every time I have come they are wide open. If I had such a luxurious view, I would also keep them open as much as possible.

Guilt gnaws at the back of my stomach and the nape of my throat. I sit on the edge of the bed and think about what I am going to say when he comes out.

How do I even apologize for something like that?

Although we’re both busy, he as the Hospital Chief of Akso Hospital, and me working on my promotion, we always make time for one another. He isn't really a man of words, but I will receive pictures from him of things that remind him of me, or videos that he thinks I will enjoy. There have been many times where i have received gifts to my apartment as well: flowers, plushies, and some notes he will leave while passing by. Though these gestures don't have to mean much, they are meaningful to me because that is the way Zayne shows his appreciation. He may not say it, but he shows it through his actions.

The water stops running with a soft thud. My heart begins to beat heavily against my chest and I begin to feel lightheaded as time passes. What seems like minutes feels like hours until Zayne emerges from the restroom wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. His black hair is still wet and flat against his head. When he sees me, he has a serious expression.

I fucked up.

“Zayne.” I say, my voice cracking as I try not to cry. “H-How was your day?” I manage to say, trying to create a casual conversation but being too nervous to get the words out smoothly. I am sitting upright with my hands on my knees, as though I am about to be scolded.

He doesn’t answer me. Instead he just stares and blinks.

Oh no, he is really mad.

“Zayne…” I try again.

“Were you on a mission?” He questions, his tone serious as he folds his arms against his chest. His toned muscles on his forearms and biceps are revealed, causing me to blush for a moment. He is no longer holding the towel, but he does not care if it falls off. His eyes are fixed on me, demanding an answer.

Confused by his question, I frown and shake my head without breaking eye contact.

He walks closer to me after unfolding his arms, causing me to panic.

Is he gonna yell at me? Will he end things with me?

He places his index finger on my chin, lifting my head and forcing me to look up at him. He is so tall, and with me sitting down I feel like a prey trapped under a predator's jaws. His finger feels cold when he uses his finger. The back of my neck feels hot as I recall that being one of his signature moves when I am obedient and call him “Sir”.

I gasp a little from the sudden cold touch, closing my eyes as I feel it becoming slightly colder from using his Evol.

“Were you, perhaps, in the N109 Zone today?” His green eyes are drilling into me. Even though I am not looking at him I can feel the intensity of his glare.

I open my eyes and blink in surprise: “What?”

He frowns slightly and he rephrases the question more directly.

“Did you see Sylus today?”

Is he…

“Zayne, Sylus and I were partners in the N109 Zone months ago. We’ve only texted-“

“So you had contact with him, yet you chose not to answer me back?"

Oh my god.

He is jealous.

“No. Well, that’s a lie,” I mutter flustered, “I do talk with him occasionally but today-“

He uses his thumb and places it over my lips gently, pursing them together to make me quiet. A small flash of cold dissipates as he leans closer. I can smell his body wash on him, and can see some of the steam still radiating from the hot shower. My eyes meet his in panic, though I am blushing so hard my face hurts.

“You’ve been a naughty little girl. Haven’t you?” My legs become weak as he says that. I release the grasp on my knees and let out a breath.

I was very open with Zayne about what happened between Sylus and I at the N109 Zone. I never hid the fact that I had slept with him, just like he confessed being with other girls as well. Since we’re not exclusive, we’ve never really bothered one another about it. Although when I started to develop feelings for him, I preferred not to ask so I would not get hurt. But this… this is different. Zayne is never jealous. And he never mentioned anything about Sylus. Shit, I didn't even know he remembered the guys' name.

He slowly slides his thumb into my lips, causing me to gasp slightly in surprise. I close my eyes and open my mouth to allow his finger in. I teasingly lick the tip of his thumb, causing him to let out a small exhale as he raises his eyebrows in surprise. I make eye contact with him and suck slightly on the tip of his frozen finger.

“You’re two hours late to our date, naughty little girl” He emphasizes, his eyes flashing darkly as he pulls his thumb out of my mouth and runs his fingers across my chin, holding the base of my chin with his hand while holding eye contact.

“What are you going to do about it, Dr. Zayne?” I manage to say, glancing at him with innocent eyes.

He smirks with a small hmph of approval and reaches to grab both of my wrists. He pins them above me as he lays himself on top of me on the bed. His towel falls off, and I squirm to try to wiggle away. He overpowers me easily with his stature and strength, but he loves it when I put up a fight.

He leans into my ear slowly, which makes me stay still as I feel his hot breath when he speaks.

“You owe me compensation.”

He begins to kiss my neck, causing me to melt under him. Every kiss sends a jolt of electricity and adrenaline through my body.

“I know-“ I whisper, feeling his lips collide harshly with mine. It is not long before I feel his tongue engulfing the inside of my mine, causing me to let out a small moan.

When he pulls away, there is a string of saliva hanging between our mouths. He doesn't acknowledge it and runs his tongue from my collarbone, up my neck, until he reaches the tip of my chin. He then grabs my face with his free hand, still pinning my hands with his left hand, and pulls me in for a deeper kiss, this time hungrier and breathing into me.

“Zayne” I whisper between his kisses, feeling his member becoming hard even though I am fully clothed.

“Take your fucking clothes off.” He whispers, already reaching into my shirt to tear it off.

I crack a smile at his impatience, which is met by his growl.

“Now, M/C,” He commands, glaring at me. “Doctor’s orders.”

I nod understandingly.

“Yes, Sir.”

I see the hesitation in his eyes when I say it. He nods and lets go of my hands as I begin to undress, revealing my lacey green underwear, which happens to match the color of his eyes.

He lays down on the bed as I undress, his member fully erect as he watches me remove everything but my lacey bra. When I finish, he signals with his index finger by pulling it towards him in a “come” motion.

Feeling my heartbeat against my chest, I make my way towards him and await my fate. When I reach the edge of the bed, he signals again and I climb on the bed and on top of him. He pulls me in for another kiss as he runs his hands through my body, causing me to let out some deep exhales and heating me up more. Between my legs feels hot and ready to take him as I follow along with his kisses.

He reaches to unbuckle my bra as we continue kissing passionately. Right as I was about to feel his member, he pulls me up and begins playing with my right nipple. I let out a loud groan as he flicks it with his tongue and grips the other one with the tips of his fingers, moving them in a slight friction motion.

“Z-Zayne.” I manage to say, feeling out of breath. “D-Dr. Zayne.” I moan.

He switches sides, playing with the left nipple using his tongue. He devlishly looks at me, enjoying every second of the torture he is giving me as he bites down gently. I can feel him reacting to it as his member twitches, almost landing in the right spot.

I so badly want to sit on him and use him.

He catches onto this and his eyes flash with excitement as he pins both of my hands behind my back.

Motherfucker.

“Don’t tease me!” I angrily let out a cry, feeling hot and embarrassed that I was caught.

It’s like he knew what I was going to say because a smile unfolds on his lips.

“That defiant look,” he admires proudly, “there’s my naughty girl.” He makes me arch my back by pulling my hands away as he sits up. He kisses my breasts and collarbone.

I moan with pleasure, tightening my grip around him with my legs and try to move my ass closer to his member.

All I have to do is get him in. Right now he is teasing me, but once he is in he won’t be able to contain himself and he’ll stop torturing me.

A slap on my ass startles me. I glance at him wide eyed.

“Did the doctor say you could move down like that? Naughty girl. Didn’t you say you’d listen to your doctor’s orders?”

He firmly grabs by face and pulls me closer to his with his free hand. As if waiting for a response, he says nothing and just breathes into me.

I slightly shake under him, startled by the slap but feeling adrenaline and pleasure from the sting.

I shake my head in response.

“Good. And you will follow your primary physician’s orders from now on, right my dirty little girl?” He cocks his head to the side, still holding my face and cocking it to the side to follow his gaze.

“Yes, Sir.” I let out, biting my lower lip.

He is going to keep toying with me until he loses it. I have to find a way for him to be inside me…. Or else I am going to go crazy.

He releases my face and kisses me deeply once again, inserting his tongue into my mouth and deepening his kisses again. His grip around my hands tightens as his member occasionally twitches, causing me to feel more wet and tight in spite of the fact that he is not even in me yet.

It’s right there…

I move my hips slightly and feel him slide in me. He lets out a growl as he grips my body closer. I gasp as I feel how hard he is with the combination of my lust for him.

“M/C….” He groans as I shift and insert him deeper, “You’re so… fucking stubborn…” he weakly releases the hands he was pinning behind my back. I quickly take the opportunity to wrap my arms around his neck and begin to bounce on him, causing him to eventually join me.

I let out some moans as I hold onto his perfectly sculpted body. He now feels so warm as my hands move down his chest, caressing his nipples and down to his hard abs. I glance down at him and admire his handsomeness for a moment, continuing my rhythm. I then run my fingers through his wet hair and work my way down to his back. I feel his muscles tensing up as I quicken my pace slightly, and he places my hands on my ass to guide me into a faster and deeper thrust.

His tongue meets mine as we thrust together, breathing into each other, me begging him not to stop, him murmuring sweet nothings into my ear.

The ecstasy of the moment makes it feel like a dream. I glance at his eyes hungrily as he moves me even faster, causing me to pant harder and being so close to my release. He places his forehead against mine and closes his eyes as he breathes out.

“Come for me, baby girl…”

Shocked by the nickname, I become tighter around his member. I let out a loud cry as he grips my ass and moves me faster.

“Come on me.” He commands.

I obey, feeling my legs shaking uncontrollably and feeling the warmth of the liquid being released between our legs. We stop moving and I lay my forehead against his chest, panting and almost wheezing against him.

I was not expecting him to say that. He had never-

He twitches inside me. I let out a moan escape as I clench my fist and I am about to punch his chest in retaliation. He catches my shaky first and unravels my hand. He puts my index finger into his mouth. He sucks on it and I realize he is staring right at me when I look up.

“What… was that?!” I say breathlessly, my expression demanding.

He releases my finger after sucking it and pulls me closer to his chest, his member still in me. “You liked it. I can tell when you're ready by how the walls of your vagina hold onto me.”

I scowl at his doctor terminology, at the fact that he is literally a doctor and knows these things. Before I could protest he places his hands roughly on my back and turns us around, placing me under him. He disconnects by pulling out his member, causing me to whimper in protest. Before I have the chance to scold him, he lowers himself and puts my legs on his shoulders. He flexes his biceps to lock me in as he runs his tongue between my legs.

I squirm in protest, feeling sensitive and tight from our thrusting earlier.

“Z-Zayne.” I manage to beg as he licks me. I try to move my legs but I am unable to, his grip is too strong. I attempt to use my hands, but soon feel them restrained with some ice cuffs he makes with his Evol.

Fuck. He has me down.

“Baby girl,” he whispers into my legs, I tense up and stop moving, “let me clean your mess. After that, I can make a bigger mess and you can clean it up.”

I glance down at him, my legs shaking under his grip. He is looking up at me when he releases a side smile. He then nods and continues using his tongue for more than just cleaning. Before I know it, he is inserting his fingers and playing with my clit with his thumb.

At one point I am almost screaming as I grip one of the pillows between the cuffs and my back arches away from the bed. I feel myself let go again and feel even more embarrassed but he does not even give me the chance to acknowledge it. He uses it as lube to move his fingers in and out of me faster until I come again.

I feel almost lightheaded when he positions himself on top of me. I wrap my legs around him, feeling him insert himself and thrusting into me. I release the pillows as I feel myself melt under him and place my arms around his neck. He breathes into me: kissing me, licking me, biting my lips, moaning into me as he gets closer and closer to his climax.

Goddamnit, Zayne…. You’re so fucking sexy.

I notice his thrusting changes to an intense pace. He is moving faster and thrusting deeply into me, letting out more grunts and noises.

I place my forehead against his, he grips my body tightly as he moves me with him. His moans become more frequent as his breathing sharpens. He quickly pulls his member out and I feel his hot fluids on my breasts and abdomen. I let out a moan as he finishes, and the cuffs disappear before I can even ask him to release me.

Panting, he falls by my side and has his eyes closed. I notice he is blushing when I move his hair out of his face to caress his cheek. I turn to face him, kissing the tip of his nose and his forehead, which have a small amount of sweat.

I love you.

I wanted to say it. It would be the perfect time to say it. But he eventually opens his gorgeous green eyes and makes eye contact with me. He sighs in between pants and leans closer to me while pulling me in against his chest.

I lay there, quietly listening to his heartbeat coming to a steady rhythm. His breath evening out as he drifts into sleep with his hand against my lower back and the other one on my shoulder.

We spend the rest of the night wrapped in each others arms without saying anything else, as we have many times before and will continue to do.

This was our relationship. Our situationship. This would never change because of our own choices. I was okay with that, as long as I could keep lying here in his arms, pleasuring him, it was all worth it.

I was deeply asleep in Zayne’s arms that I did not notice Mephisto passing by Zayne’s apartment window. His eyes glinting red as he senses me and he flaps his wings against the night sky. Letting out a caw, he circles around the building.

“Good job,” Sylus’ voice radiates through Mephisto as he continues to fly around the building. “I’ve finally found my kitten.”

[spongebob-connoisseur]

Guess what I got! The recording scripts for all of the episodes of Spongebob season 13!! Gang gang

I got it from some guy from YouTube. He said this was leaked on internet archive and Nick tried to scrub it clean off the interwebz. He managed to salvage some and he gave me a link. His account was gone before I had an opportunity to say thank you, so now I have it. I'm sharing it here because idgaf if my account gets taken down lol. But also no one checks tumblr anyways.

I made sure to print out the Slappy Daze recording script because idgaf about the other episodes tbh. I only care about my beloved Peter Lorre fish's day in the limelight <3 I put it in this plastic slip and keep it in a nice binder. It's my most prized possession besides Slappy's character sheet. I also have the Squidferatu script as well.

To be honest a lot of these scripts are pretty similar to the final product of the episode. There are some minor differences like Slappy wasn't originally in the script for There Will Be Grease. Instead it was supposed to be some nerdy fish asking if everything juice will make him sound more manly. Bless whoever snuck Slappy in there because you all remember me tweaking for a week when the episode came out because I was so happy Slappy got a part in the song lol.

Also the episode Upturn Girls was originally titled City Cetaceans.

Slappy Daze is pretty near identical to the final product tbh. Nothing really changed besides a few words. I am fascinated by the fact that the first draft is dated as being July 30th 2021. By that point I already fully and completely developed Slappy brain worms and was already considering watching Lorre's movies to get my fix cuz the airings of the Patrick show were frustrating. Ahh the good ol days <3

I also do believe Slippy (Slappy's female counterpart) was made for Slappy Daze originally though. The episode gives a physical description of Slippy which makes me think she just made for the moment. I think she was added to Mid-Season Finale in The Patrick Star Show episode afterwards but Mid-Season Finale aired first. Nickelodeon actually did mess up with this episode and released it on DVD before it officially aired. Now the pieces are coming together. This is only interesting to me lol.

Spongebob fans are such h8rs fr. Where else would you find THE original dreamy haired emo boy Cesare the Somnanbulist working as an assistant for the primary care physician fish Dr. Caligari? I would LOVE for Cesare to rid me of my allergies😤😤

Squidferatu actually has the most differences between the script and the final product. Plus plenty of interesting details. Squidferatu actually has two scripts, part one and part two.

The first and most important detail to me is the fact that Slappy is still named "Laszlo". You've seen Slappy's character sheet where it mentions he was formerly named "Laszlo" (obviously a reference to Peter Lorre's birth name Laszlo Löwenstein).

But in the Squidferatu scripts you can actually find the EXACT moment where his name changes from Laszlo to Slappy. It all has to do with one specific gag.

These both are the same scene. The left side is from Squidferatu part 1 and the right is Squidferatu part 2.

I do think they absolutely fumbled the name Laszlo. There are enough cartoon characters named Slappy. Laszlo is much much cuter and brings the Lorre reference full circle but oh well.

I also keep forgetting to mention but the villager in Squidferatu who begs Spongebob and Squidward not to go to the castle was intended to be the same villager in the 1931 Dracula who warns Renfield, who actually was based on a villager from the 1922 Nosferatu who warns Thomas Hutter. This character respawned in 3 different pieces of media. I think he's the true star of this episode lol.

There is also the fact that carriage driver in Squidferatu is confirmed to be Nosferatu! I feel like this fact is obvious enough if you're familiar with Dracula media (1922 Nosferatu, 1931 Dracula, or even just reading the book) the count is always the carriage driver duh

Also the fact that in this episode he hisses like a vampire, is strangely humanoid, and briefly has the Nosferatu™ eyebrows which fully gives it away. Unfortunately the folks on the SB wiki do not agree >:((

The first time I saw the carriage driver I said "ohh he kinda bad" and you know what? I'm not retracting my statement. He IS a baddie. I'm tired of lying to myself otherwise.

Anyways this caused me to come up with a headcanon that Nosferatu is broke and likely does not pay Slappy. I mean that explains why Nos has taken on shifts at the Krusty Krab, but also explains why Slappy is working 2 jobs in The Patrick Star Show. I imagine property taxes on a castle really drains a vampire's family fortune. I'm getting off topic.

There are some extra gags that didn't make it into the episode.

There's also the fact that we've been robbed of Erik from the Phantom of The Opera giving the audience a cute wink uwu

My Thoughts on the Cancellation of PhileFest

So I am WELL aware that this is old news, but I was pretty busy at the time and/ or away from my laptop and I wasn't gonna type all this on my phone lol.

As most of you know, a few weeks ago there was an announcement from the convention that it was canceled due to low ticket sales. There was a few people going "hur hur" the x-files are a dead fandom" and while the size of the fandom nowadays isn't near what it was in its heyday, I am certain that it isn't its only factor. As tempting as it was to respond directly, I decided to make a whole ass post about it instead. Mind you, I don't have any inside scoop from the convention itself, a an just some girl on tumblr dot com with a stupid url. However, I am a convention vendor. I have been to many, many conventions over the years, and have a pulse on some things that some others may not.

TL;DR: Basically imo, there was a few factors that lowered both ticket sales, and as I suspect, revenue. A few reasons in their domain, but a lot not, and is unfortunately the way of the world right now.

First off, I am going to deal with their point of txf being a dead fandom. For one thing, I have been in much deader fandoms before. The thing about older fandoms is that there are some core fans that have been into it for decades, and probably will be in some way, shape, or form for decades more as it is a very important part of their identity at this point. With newer fandoms there tends to be a very flash in the pan spike until they wander off into the new big thing(tm). The fan base also tends to be older and have that sweet, sweet disposable income (kinda, I'll get into that), more than their teenage counterparts. The point is that that particular media means a lot to them, and they have the adult freedom and money to actually do something about it. At the same time, every day there is a decent amount of new material posted here by a shitton of different people, and on other platforms. On the hellscape known as facebook, there are plenty of normies posting on the txf group every day. Seems like a functional fanbase to me. Is it anything like it's heyday? I was a child then, but still I know the answer is no. Is it dead? Nah.

This is where it gets a little tricky though. A specialized convention of ANYTHING runs into the problem of it being too niche. Anime conventions are alive and well, but you don't often see one for a particular series, even if it is very popular. For example I haven't seen a My Hero Academia convention. At most, you typically see a a fan group in a city and they do events, like a tea party or at the zoo or something. Now, I have seen, and been to niche conventions before (star trek, there is a town in my province called Vulcan, so you know…), but there is two ways these things usually go:

1) It's essentially a party con. Rent out somewhere cheap, or have it as a camping thing, and a bunch of nerds use it as an excuse to nerd out together during the day and (probably) get drunk at night. This is how Vul-con ran. There wasn't very many guests and I can't imagine there was many long distance attendees, but that didn't matter as much

2) Do what I think PhileFest was trying to do. Be as big as they could be and try to draw in the crowds to cover the costs of doing this, including from people flying in.

Why number 2 failed this time is well, I am going to bring in the elephant in the room: World Politics, and speaking as someone that is not from the US. I reeeeeally don't like talking about politics, and admittedly I'm not the most knowledgeable on it, but here we go. I really do believe that it had a factor in this.

Frankly, as a Canadian, it is very discouraged to go down to the states, even as someone that is NOT from a marginalized group. If I was, there would be even more warning bells of why not to go. For my sanity, I do try to avoid deep dives of reports of what happens to foreigners going to the states for xyz reason (even for legal work or just as a tourist), but ultimately when you have new reports of people going and then ultimately ending up imprisoned somewhere, it's not a good look, and does a number on tourism. Meanwhile, for my country specifically, there has been a looming tariff implantation that really flared up a few months ago. Basically, Canada was super close on getting our stuff tarriffed from the states, and regular citizens were SUPER pissed off about it. Many boycotted American products, and cancelled plans to go to the states. The Canadian-American tourism is a decent chunk of money (to the point we have the term snowbirds: People that go to the states for warmer weather during the winter), and there was reports that there was an significant impact from the tourism trade there. Meanwhile here, there was definitely people getting the side eye and snubbed for mentioning going to the states, and you kind of had to clarify "oh it was already paid for before all this stuff happened". When I mentioned "I was considering going to the states but with everything going on, I decided not to" People around me were like "Do NOT go to the states right now. It's not worth it." And otherwise agreeing that now is not the time to go (also our dollar sucks ass right now, as well as some other countries).

Meanwhile, its not just Canada, even on their official cancellation page on social medias there was people saying essentially "I would have came, but I'm from (x country) and I'm LGBT etc. and don't feel safe going to the states." For others, I know that even if they are not in immediate danger, they don't agree with the current administration there and is refusing to go to America. ALLLLLLL of this makes an impact on the PhileFest turn out. With the route they took, they needed more than what the locals could do, and when you have people from other countries not feeling safe to travel there, you got yourself a problem.

Mind you, even within the states was a little bit of a problem. Apparently the location they chose (because they are apparently from there?) is a little out of the way, which unfortunately jacks up flight costs. With the current costs of living, that is a significant cut into people's tightened entertainment money. This is a widespread problem right now, and is Nothing anyone could do about, but it is a big factor.

Okay, so we got the world climate out of the way, what about the con itself?

Well, unfortunately, I really do think the prices were high, especially since they weren't able to get DD and/or GA. Die hard fans MAYBE wouldn't care as much, but that does make a huge difference for people that are "mid sized" fans, or fans that are living paycheque to paycheque (see economy reason above) which right now is an unfortunate reality. $120 USD for a weekend? Dayum. Highest tickets at $3999? DAYUM.

There is also advertising, which I can't speak of TOO much, but when you have people in txf spaces going " what there was a txf convention?? I didn't hear of this" You got yourself a problem. I'm not sure how much traditional advertising would work in this case, or how much local advertising was done, but perhaps being active in more of the platforms that fans are and even posting there may have helped.

Now on the vendor side. This is not as important, but its something I'm knowledgeable about so I'm going to blabber on about it. After the pandemic, there has been a surge of artists basically crawling over each other to get in conventions. For larger shows, there are literally thousands of applications for say, 300 tables and it has become a competitive field. Events that have ANY kind of fcfs is being filled within seconds, and/or crashing their websites. I tried to get into the artist alley for anime north last year, and remember it crashed google forms so hard that the coordinator couldn't even get in to open the document, because they said they were going to close it after the first 1000 applicants or something? I can't remember. Anyway. People are also panic applying, even if they know the show may not be as great. The thing for artists though, is they will usually not apply for a vendor booth unless they are large enough or it is cheap enough. The space is usually too big for them, and it is too much of a risk. PhileFest, according to the wayback machine, had no artist alley prices, nor were you allowed to share a booth. I feel that shows that they don't have a pulse on current convention trends imo.

The vendor tables themselves are decently priced, however there would be a couple of things that i would be annoyed at.

1) It states that ALL items would need to be txf or scifi themed: This isn't too egregious but for a convention this niche, it is much more realistic to have just an emphasis on such items, but allow other things to pad it out. Some people may roll their eyes at this, but its kind of the reality. I'm not talking about people selling their mlm's there, but actually if you have a popular item, it helps your sales to bring that along with your x files vhs tapes and your homemade frohike gloves you know?

2) It was open for the Friday but most people wouldn't be able to afford the tickets that got you in on the Friday? I would be pissed off and bored.

3) Its in the states, and the US is so anal about foreign artists and businesses selling shit there that I can't really give a fuck anyway or else I'd be deported (its a whole thing: extremely difficult to do it legally, most artists and vendors either has relatives or duel citizenship or lie and hope not to get caught. Not as hard to sell in other countries apparently though).

4) this is a pet peeve, but I really do hate when conventions don't include the attendee ticket with the price of a vendor ticket. For fuck sakes, I usually would at most be only seeing a couple things as that is all I have time for, and is paying more than your average attendee, I gotta buy more?

One other minor thing. Listen guys. I know "phile" is super meaningful to the fandom itself. But when I say "philefest" to a normie, at best I'm going to get a weird look, and at worst they are going to think I belong in the woodchipper, y'know?

Anyway this ended up much longer than I intended, but there you have it. My opinion why PhileFest had to be cancelled this year. Mostly the damn politics and the damn econmeny, but admittedly some other stuff too. Would it have maybe survived in a different location this year? Maybe. Maybe not. I'm biased so I would have thought Vancouver would have been a neat place, though Vancouver itself is different from 30 years ago, and is VERY expensive. So the locals are either stupid rich, or poor, and hotel accommodations are expensive. Nice gloomy atmosphere most of the time though and a bunch of nerds can have a "nice trip through the forest" outside of the city.

Pitching Shows to GMMTV [1/?]

Here, I ramble about some show ideas that I have and gmmtv should make because I need to see them being made. Lots of fangirling and heaps of delulu logic ahead!

Tagging: @dallasthetimetraveler

1. World’s Greatest Detective

GMMTV should make a series on Sherlock Holmes and call it “The Detective and The Doctor”. He is famous, interesting, and most importantly, queer. Why haven’t they capitalised on him yet?

It’s a surprise that they haven’t made this show yet. Ever since the copyright lifted, I was expecting some production company to make Sherlock Holmes explicitly queer and in love with Dr Watson (looking at you, RDJude). But since no one has done it (apart from “Furtive Festivity” and no, “The Irregulars” does not count), GMMTV has the golden opportunity to be the pioneer. The company is known for making QLs, then having a spin on the obviously queer detective–doctor duo will be iconic. 

I also think it will be a very profitable choice? Given that Sherlock is an insanely popular character among international fans and has also been a recognized part of fan culture. It was actually his stories that introduced me to the queer media.

I know it will be yet another adaptation, but hear me out. They don’t have to copy the stories as they are. It would not be a remake so one won’t know the story beforehand. And since Sherlock Holmes is public domain, they can just upload the show on YouTube (unlike “Cherry Magic”, “F4: Boys Over Flowers” etc)

And it will be relatively easy, a new case per week, while hinting at a bigger villain in the initial episodes and then setting him up for the finale (I know “Petrichor” is doing something similar but every mystery show isn’t about the consulting detective.) Sherlock Holmes is a character that works in every era– 1890s, 20s, 90s or the modern day, if you manage to capture his essence. Sherlock Holmes can be anyone from a 90 year old British man, a Japanese woman in her 20s or a pre–teen Canadian girl. 

I know GMMTV doesn’t make a lot of 2nd seasons (“TGG”, “Still 2gether” and now “Only Friends: Dream On” being some exceptions, and while “The Enigma 2” was announced, we know nothing else about it) but honestly? If they make this show, I hope they don’t stop at only one season. Milk it properly. Gimme like five seasons with six episodes each (no, it’s not a lot. “Granada Holmes” had 36 episodes, “CBS Elementary” had 154 episodes in total, spanning over 7 seasons).

The thing is, they have enough content to make it long. Plenty of source material (4 novels and 58 short stories is no joke) and several adaptations to draw inspiration from. Asian ones too– “Miss Sherlock” and “Sherlock: Untold Stories”. I watched the former and it was so good. A Thai adaptation will be thrilling if they utilise the local stories and settings and have a good direction. 

And that’s the thing.

They’ll need a very good director (and writing team) to pull it off. Mystery and plot twists are hard to do, if I take examples, “Not me” revealing Todd as the villain wasn’t shocking (perhaps they weren’t going for it), “The Gifted Graduation” overdid it with it’s plot twist after plot twists and the secret weapon suspense in “Home School” was straight up bad.

However, I’m sure they can pull together a good team to work behind the cameras. I hope a team that actually likes the characters and is willing to tell a good story. There is no scarcity of great detective shows, what makes Sherlock Holmes special is its characters. 

I want GMMTV to make it because I know for sure that they won’t queerbait me. They won’t make Sherlockians like me cry like the BBC version or leave us hanging like the Ritchieverse. No, they’ll have Mr Holmes and Dr Watson make out hotly in 221B Baker Street as soft violin plays in the background. 

Now, onto the Fancasts, because I obviously have some.

I want to see Sing Harit as Sherlock Holmes. Call me biased but I love him AND he’s a great actor whose potential GMMTV hasn’t fully utlised and that drives me insane. I just want to see him play a serious character without being the villain or the pervert.

helppp i cannot decide on a watson fancast

Either Namtan Tipnaree or View Benyapa would make a fantastic Irene Adler. And if they want to treat fans, they can genderbend Godfrey Norton and have her played by Film Rachanun. 

I watched that last one scene from “Home School” and since then Khaotung Thanawat as Prof. James Moriarty is stuck in my brain. He’ll be effortlessly good.

Also, Ohm Pawat as Col. Sebation Moran? I’ve seen people complaining that he’s been in too many serious roles and not to typecast but Ohm would work perfectly in action roles.

This post got way longer than I expected and I got to talk about only one potential show. I’m ending it here so more parts of pitching shows to GMMTV will probably come.
