I think for the exhibit, I'd like to see the true fossil that's Alex's wedding ring 👀

Lmfaoooo me too, but let’s be real. He lost that thing four years ago.

Blog FAQ

What fandoms do you write? 

Exclusively bandom rpf, specifically All Tim Low. It’s always going to be Jack Barakat/Alex Gaskarth (Jalex) slash, sometimes paired with Zack Merrick/Rian Dawson (Zian). Sometimes, I include the boys with others for narrative reasons, but Jalex is it for me. Lol. 

What genres do you write?

ANGST. Not so much death, but I like soap opera-levels of drama and pining. If it doesn’t include emotional pain and suffering, I don’t want it. I love a happy ending after a long whump, but that’s not always how my stuff goes. Open-ended endings are my favorite. I have written fluff a few times, but it’s just not my favorite. A lot of my fics are smutty, but I haven’t written kink before, and typically the smut is necessary for narrative purposes. Friendly reminder that this blog and my fics are NOT intended for minors and I strongly discourage minors from engaging with my content. 

What can I expect to see on this blog? 

Hopefully, writing asks, updates, musings, reblogs, and memes. I also like to wax poetic complain about writing in general, so there might be a few of those. Respectfully, this isn’t the place to discuss drama and tea about All Time Low, but you are more than welcome to send that over to my main blog. I’m also hoping to get some writing challenges here. 

Can I send requests? 

Not right now, sorry. I’m trying to finish a novel-length work that I’ve been writing and developing since before 2019 and I can’t really have any distractions until that’s done. Maybe some day. 

Do you have any formal training? 

I was an English and Creative Writing double major in college and I also have a Master’s Degree in Liberal Arts with a focus in English and Creative Writing. Some of my original fiction, nonfiction, and poetry have been published, but I don’t know that this is the place to share them. Lol. 

Where can I read your fics? 

AO3: walkingonfirex Mibba: walkingonfirex (inactive) Wattpad: walkingonfirex  I have other, older fics on some other sites, but they’re not about All Time Low, so I don’t see any reason to link them. Besides, a lot of those older fics are also still on my AO3 and Wattpad. If you’re curious, message me and I might tell you, but they’re pretty niche fandoms, so I can’t see why anyone would be interested. They’re also not hard to find lol. 

How can I support you?

Literally, just the fact that people read my silly little stories at all means the fucking world to me. However, kudos and comments are the absolute best way! I get overjoyed every time I get an ao3 notification in my email. That’s all I really need. 

Thank you times one million to @ao3usermelancholyhues for letting me use her blog as inspiration!! Please follow her and read her stuff.

According to my fb memories, it’s been six years since I met atl. :’)

[jackinalex]

I don’t know why I just thought of this but get Alex away from Lisa for two minutes and he’s suggestively flirting with Jack in the comments and I’m here for it

Alex’s greatest compulsion is to flirt with Jack. And it seems like it’s vice versa, too. I would kill to see their text messages.

[jackinalex]

(I will patiently wait I swear) 🥺🥺 but I am impatiently asking when we get WCW!??

I was the anon that binged it in a day…. And now I have been waiting ❤️

I’ve started it! I’m hoping to get it out soon, but I got it MAD busy because these last couple weeks at work have been all about finalizing everything for our seniors and that’s been so fucking hectic. I’ve also been working on finishing this massive teaching portfolio to get my longterm teaching license. I really appreciate you being interested and your asks through that day was such a wonderful surprise. ♥️

[jackinalex]

I could write a whole fucking novel on All Time Low all being thirsty for each other. That comment is just the start I sweeeear 😂😂

There could be an hours long compilation of atl flirting and being thirsty with one another, I stg. One thing that people have always loved about them (including me!) is that they do genuinely love each other so much and they always have. It’s sweet and precious. 🥹

Not sure anyone has hated the New England states this much since the British Army circa 1775 - 1783...

☠️ y’all are so funny sometimes.

[jackinalex]

Kalina help, how I do explain to my friend that Alex in that promo vid looked both stupidly hot but also very baby girl. 🥺 (also that hand comment! Like don’t fucking tease us and just do it!)

It’s impossible to explain. The girls who get it, get it. Those who don’t, don’t. The hand comment was farrrrrrr too much and I had a crisis about it. Not really but I was not at all normal about it.

[jackinalex]

in regards to the rest of the dates, the only reason I love to see atl royally f up is when Alex decides to comment on the band post and only ends up getting clowned and dragged

I didn’t see any comments, but he does the same thing with everything they do.

[jackinalex]

Really bummed about the rest of their tour dates. Bunch of west coast and absolutely no new England states? Besides that, the one show can't be purchased separately. It has to be a bundle purchase with another show. Of course. Jokes on them if they don't want my money I guess? 😔

I have no idea who plans their tours because they are not fair lmao. I couldn't even tell you the last time they came to Arkansas or even fucking Memphis, so you're preaching to the choir. I guess they just think we all can drop our whole lives and travel ridiculous distances for them.

[jackinalex]

Have you ever noticed how some people go to therapy for years and years and never seem to make any progress?

I think everyone’s journey is very very VERY different and it’s not our place to judge anyone.

[jackinalex]

The funny thing is that I dream more about them when I'm NOT actively thinking about them. They're in my subconscious, and honestly, I couldn't be happier. Even if it leads to weirdness. My PC broke recently so its had me thinking about anything else, and yet there they are in my dreams, and honestly? Very happy for that, as it prevents me dreaming about stress, as my first night of sleep after that happened was a nightmare. Since then, they took over my brain again, much better sleep.

Well, I’m glad it gives you something else to focus on lmao.

MERRIKAT fanfiction where Jack and Zack get married or anything like that being cannon in Jack’s life…

All the proof that Jack thinks about it too 😂

(Although Jack and Alex always do so much more for each others bdays.)

Honestly this is very cute lmao. They never do too much for Zack for his birthday, but it seems like he’s just happy with what he’s doing in Hawaii lol.

[jackinalex]

Why does this fanbase sleep on Zalex?😭😭

I don’t know! It used to be a lot more popular (I’d say between like 2009-12), and probably more common than Rilex. Idk what changed lol. For me, it’s probably ranked third in the band ships. It’s cute, but I have immense Jalex brain rot.

[jackinalex]

I’m so normal about them (lying)

[jackinalex]

Had a dream last night I was, i guess just talking to Jack on Discord, wishing him Happy Birthday (???) And while he didn't respond, I then saw the dream change to IRL and Also suddenly Alex was there too. They both went in a room and I just stood there waiting a distance away. They both came out a bit later and Alex was wearing a green sweater and skirt and lipstick? They went to another room, door closed, this time Alex came out with a red dress on, still green lipstick. I dont know.

Just a lil Jalex roleplay dream nbd!!
