[5hr 32m 45s] The thing is, he’s had study nights and TV marathons in Chowder’s room. He’s gotten stoned in Shitty’s, and Lardo’s, crashed on Jack’s floor after a kegster, gone to Bitty’s for advice, and checked Ransom and Holster’s for ghosts. If it were anyone else’s, Nursey would at least have some indicator of what was going on, because he’d be able to recognise the decorations, the layout. But Derek Nurse wakes up in William Poindexter’s room and has no idea where the fuck he is. [Written by lenaballena.]

i know beyond a shadow of a doubt that no matter what age ransom & holster are when they get together as a couple, they rework their incredibly long & elaborate secret handshake to include a lil smooch at the end

actually now that i'm typing this out, this is definitely how they end up hard-launching their romantic relationship- which nearly fails before it can even start bc all of their friends have seen them do their secret handshake so many times after they win a game of beer pong or complete a great pass on ice or w/e, they don't see the point of being sat down to watch them do it again now

and even after they finally get everyone together, do the whole handshake, and finish with a dramatic kiss, and everyone sincerely congratulates them, holster gets frustrated bc their friends don't seem appropriately floored by this Brave Declaration of Love, so he asks what their deal is. unfortunately for him & ransom, that opens the floodgates of everyone listing examples of times r&h have openly kissed/ made out/ lovingly embraced/ gazed into each other's eyes in the presence of their long-suffering friends

chowder: ...well, there was that party last christmas with the mistletoe-

lardo: and the thing at holster's birthday kegster-

ransom: [laughing] okay, thanks, we get it!

shitty: yeah, pretty sure you laid one on each other during the big celly at that one princeton game-

bitty: you know i love y'all, but these haus walls aren't the thickest and-

holster: OKAY THANKS WE REALLY GET IT NOW

Ranking The ECAC's Worst Mascots - SMH Based on (x)

[larkral]

It's me! The person who's just now literally responding to comments from last year's EGF. (I don't know, I can't explain myself. Reading nice things about my writing is my one true joy ™️, and also looking at them for too long burns my face off.)

N.E.Way, I realized that Friday was Groundhog Day and my Holsom timeloop fic is called Friday Prime, and the humor (and waiting on hold during 12+ calls to medical bureaucracy) took hold and I posted Chapter 1. Excited for it to be out in the world.

BUT! Don't take that to mean I won't be posting the first chapter of Simon's mums soon too, because I WILL. I even went through and removed my weird notations of things like <<whatever a barrister does for their first job>> and <<government place>>, so we're getting closer and closer by the day.

Anyway, here's seven sentences (oops) from Simon's mums, which I've tentatively titled finally (already, always). Simon POV

"The Easter bunny?" "I don't think magical creatures are particularly attracted to Christian holidays."  "So no Father Christmas, then?"  "Nope."  "Too bad."  "Simon," Penny says, "You have magic. The Normal myths about magical creatures are just trying to convince kids that magic exists, you know it exists, you can't be disappointed that Father Christmas doesn't exist when you've seen a dragon." 

And another also seven sentences from Friday Prime, aka Holsom Timeloop:

"So, is this like, a thing now?" Lardo asks. "SMH defensive pairs hooking up—Ollie and Wicks, you two…" she looks at Dex and Nursey, who've gravitated towards each other through the course of the exchange. Dex flushes bright red. "Oh, we aren't…" "We could be," Nursey says, as smooth as he's always pretended to be. "I mean, if you want. I'd be down."

I think I'm kicking this off because it's, you know, just midnight, so I'm tagging everyone (below the cut)

Happy Sunday! Come out and play, friends. And if you're not feeling it, have a hug, chocolate truffle, or tall glass of water, to your preference. :) @stitchyqueer @thewholelemon @confused-bi-queer @raenestee @facewithoutheart @cutestkilla @hushed-chorus @sillyunicorn @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @basiltonbutliketheherb @ileadacharmedlife @asocialpessimist @bookish-bogwitch @aristocratic-otter @captain-aralias @petedavidsonscock @takitalks @artsyunderstudy @yeonjunenby @carryonvisinata @takenabackbytuesdays @martsonmars @nausikaaa @nightimedreamersghost @chen-chen-chen-again-chen @ionlydrinkhotwater @aroace-genderfluid-sheep​ @shrekgogurt @forabeatofadrum  @palimpsessed @fatalfangirl​ @blackberrysummerblog​ @valeffelees @imagineacoolusername @orange-peony @j-nipper-95 @whogaveyoupermission @wellbelesbian @rimeswithpurple @youarenevertooold @emeryhall @mooncello

[somethingnurseywoulddo]

[aristocrating]

ransom: sex. is. not. dating. holster: yeah, if it were, ransom and i would be dating.

Realized some days ago that I never posted my @omgzineplease stuff so ✨ after college: here's one of their slumber parties to see each other, have nice fun and REST because boy. Life is mad these days isn't it

[nonuniqueindie]

Ethan Katzberg has Shitty’s hair and ‘stache and Holster’s body

(Also an incredible fucking hammer throw. Just a beaut.)

My sister: “He’s Sholster!”

[dontnotcatchme]

Hear me out. Ransom and Holster Olympic synchronized diving. Is this anything

[zimmerdouche]

"Listen! The 90s were totally fly-"

"Well, except for when we died. That was kind of a buzzkill."

"Total buzzkill, homeskillet."

_X_

I sent in a prompt to @omgauplease months ago that I desperately wanted to fill, but knew I couldn't do justice without drawing it - which wasn't possible until recently. Enjoy a version of Ransom and Holster that died in the 90s and now haunt the attic, giving modern sorority sisters Mandy and Jenny "hella" advice.

And have a PNG as well - since Procreate totally butchers GIFs. (Or you can tap, especially on mobile, for full quality!)

Holster and Ransom are the type of people who would get married for tax purposes and medical benefits

[ernest-frankenstein]

Holster religiously celebrates Galentines' Day every year

Ransom celebrates with him because he likes doing things that make Holster happy and he is very carefully Not Thinking Too Hard About This

Shitty and Lardo celebrate with him because it sounds like fun, and presents! and Jerry's brunch! what's not to love about that?

Jack put up a token protest at first because he does not like doing things that make Holster happy and brunch doesn't fit in his carefully curated meal plan, but then Shitty yells at him for an hour about gender roles, and even though that's not why he doesn't want to do it he gives in anyway because it seems like the path of least resistance and not worth putting up a fight over
