Laugh please

hey fam

Is this acc still active?

Not really! I’m glad I was able to make so many people happy, but the older I get the more I realize that I can’t participate in RPF anymore. Just for me personally, I feel less comfortable headcanoning and writing fiction about real life people, with real lives and friends. If that’s what floats your boat, that’s totally still cool! All I ask is that people continue to respect boundaries and not violate the privacy of people they’re shipping ❤️ All the best!

throwback to the time my classics professor asked “does anyone know who sappho is?” and i immediately replied “she’s the OG lesbian” and my professor yelled “EXACTLY” and wrote the OG lesbian on the whiteboard

27 and 93 crankiplier?

Sick/Injured and Makeovers: Mark comes down with a nasty case of bronchitis (again). Once he stops being contagious and can stand up again, Ethan gets permission from Amy to utilize some old makeup and hairbrushes to give Mark a fresh new look, in hopes that if he looks healthy he’ll start to feel healthy.

For a prompt/request, maybe something about our poor lil blueberry getting jealous and Markie trying to calm him down? °~°

sure! here’s a little Drabble:

“Ethan?” Mark called, clambering down the stairs, “You down here?”

Ethan cleared his throat and called back, “I’m in the living room!”

Mark found him soon enough, greeting the younger man with the usual goofy smile, if a little faltering. “Hey.”

“Hey.” Ethan’s smile didn’t reach his eyes.

“Everybody’s wondering what’s taking you so long,” Mark said with a chuckle.

“Oh,” Ethan looked back down at his phone, frantically trying to think up an excuse. And, shit— his phone. He quickly turned it off, hoping Mark hadn’t seen the image Ethan had spent the last eight minutes staring at.

But, of course, this was Mark. Nothing was ever easy.

“Hey,” Mark said, in the soft and caring kind of voice he reserved only for when someone was upset, “Something wrong?”

Ethan bit his lip, desperately trying to hold back tears as Mark sat beside him and— oh, Christ— placed a hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

“I’m just...super tired,” Ethan tried with another small smile, rubbing his eyes for emphasis. “Lost track of time.”

Mark was still smiling, but his gaze was determined. “If you don’t tell me what’s wrong in the next three seconds, I’m taking away Chica privileges.”

Ethan snorted. “You’re not that mean.”

Mark’s smile faded, and his gaze hardened. “One.”

Ethan’s eyes widened.

“Two.”

“Okay! Jesus, you’re a terrifying person.”

Mark only grinned in reply, looking at him expectantly.

Ethan exhaled deeply. “It’s embarrassing.”

Without any indication from Mark, Ethan plowed onwards.

“It’s. Okay, I don’t...I don’t know how to put it. Do you remember when your university friend was here a few days back?”

Mark nodded in recognition. “Eddy, yeah. What’s that have to do with anything?”

“You and him were, you know,” Ethan tried, with no dice, before continuing, “Kind of soulmates. And him being here for two days straight, just like gazing into your eyes the whole time—“

“Ethan, are you jealous of Eddy?”

The abruptness stopped Ethan in his tracks. He blinked uselessly for a moment, two, before he finally stammered out, “What?! No, obviously not, I’m not—“

“Ethan!” Mark teased, almost amused, “You’re jealous.”

“Am not!”

“Are too!”

“Am not!”

“Are too!”

“Am— ok, a little.”

Mark’s triumphant grinned widened, just before his face softened and he outstretched his arms. “C’mere.”

“What?” Ethan asked, feeling as though he had whiplash from the sudden change in demeanor.

“Come here,” Mark repeated, impatiently drawing Ethan into his arms and giving the smaller boy a squeeze.

“You know I’d never replace you, right?” Mark said, voice that special kind of soft again.

“I- I know. Yknow, I wasn’t even worried about it,” Ethan was cut off.

“Bullshit,” Mark said, readjusting Ethan to get closer. He rested his head atop Ethan’s. “You’re our blue boy, that’s totally unique to you.”

“You sap,” Ethan teased, shamelessly nuzzling Mark’s neck nonetheless.

“Shut up,” Mark replied fondly, giving Ethan a half-assed noogie.

hi its been SO long please i am just a humble gay looking for some fluff - 🌹

Ask and you shall receive!

• Mark and Ethan are Adult Friends™️, and Mark trusts Ethan. Except also Mark is 8 years older and as much as he acts like he doesn’t care, he is literally so protective deep down. Whenever Ethan is doing dumb shit around an open fire or a sharp thing Mark’s heart starts palpitating and occasionally he can’t help but physically pull Ethan away from the Danger. Or he’ll actually say “Careful!!” all panicky, but throw a mean name in there so it seems chill.

- Additional Accidentally Protective Mark: Offering Ethan sodas and La Croix even after Ethan turns 21 because he’s baby. Mark getting a little too defensive whenever anyone but him makes fun of Ethan’s gaming skills. Mark letting Ethan win just so he can see a stupid smile and hear a victorious laugh. Mark dealing with rude servers or fans in public very aggressively because he’s worried about Ethan.

• Mark just has like. An urge to kiss Ethan’s head or smooch him on the cheek always. Whenever they finish a late night working on a project, the two always end up exhausted on a couch together and Mark inevitably, without fail, throws an arm around Eth. Snugglin ensues and Mark smooches his hair when he thinks Ethan is too tired to notice.

• Mark lookin out for Ethan’s health! Since Ethan doesn’t work for Mark anymore, Mark can’t ensure he’s getting a stable income so Mark will always pay for the meals just in case. They both just act like it’s because Mark is insanely rich but to be honest, Mark is always sending him home with groceries and homemade cooking too. If Mark can’t drive him home himself, he’ll pay for an Uber without even asking about it. If it wasn’t so tacky and overbearing, Mark would probably buy him a car.

send me...crankiplier headcanons or prompts or requests

[crankxplier]

Is that allowed? Is this allowed?!

I couldn’t find a gif of this moment so had to make my own.

[crankxplier]

oof, highschool crankiplier where Ethan and Mark hate each other, but the characters they play in the school play are in love. Boom, fluff ensues.

Bonus if Mark reluctantly helps Ethan with his costume because Ethan is a gymnast and always has some type of injury that makes it hard to move

[crankxplier]

Also Ethan and Josh have such good chemistry as far as comedy/acting goes

[crankxplier]

Alrighty I’m doing a masterpost with time codes of all the crankiplier moments from the Christmas stream because I love y’all, stay tuned

[crankxplier]

Here’s the crankiplier fic I was talking about! I’m self-projecting super hard on poor Ethan but just go with it. Also it’s nowhere near done, pretty sure it ends in like the middle of a sentence so sorry about that (my YouTube blog is olliepop7 btw)

[crankxplier]

Wanna read a super self-indulgent crankiplier fic I’ve started writing? So far there’s some fluff and there’s some angst! The fluffy stuff is super cute though - olliepop7

Yeah duh there’s hardly any good fluffy crankier fics pls send

[crankxplier]
