Been playing around with my watercolor paints and used it on this drawing I did of Ace Austin’s card~ I hate that you can’t tell that the card was painted with pearlescent / shimmery paints.

PAC: Sister-to-Sister Messages

As promised, I said that I would post messages this weekend in regard to Women’s History Month based on the results of yesterday’s poll. This reading will be all about sister-to-sister dynamics. I am so thankful for the support that I have been receiving for these readings. It’s much appreciated! 🤌🤌 Anyway, today is the last day of the five dollar flash sale!! All readings will be $5 today! Come get it if you want it!!! Without further ado, choose your sister duo.

*** Disclaimer: These readings are meant to uplift, relate to, and/or inspire women!

Left-to-Right (1-3): Chloe and Halle, Beyoncé and Solange, Tia & Tamera.

Pile 1: If you resonate with the photo of Chloe and Halle, then this is your pile. First of all, your potential hasn’t even peaked yet, Pile One. Your sister wants you to know that you should continue to pursue your dreams. I feel like you have the tendency to start stuff but not finish it. What’s that about? She’s noticed this since yall were young but probably thought you would’ve grown out of it. But she still thinks that you will prosper. Those who resonate with this pile seem to be the baby in the family. You may feel like your sister acts too much like your mother, but she just wants what’s best for you. I feel like your sister is very successful/accomplished & you may feel that pressure to follow her footsteps. But in reality, she just wants you to be you. Be an individual, babe. And the last message that I got from this pile was kind of funny. Your sister feels like you work too hard. Where’s your boo thang? You need to let some stress off with a sexual partner chile, especially if someone’s been putting in effort to talk to you. Give them a chance! Maybe you can find a creative spark from messing around with them! In the end, your sister is supportive of your creative pursuits. She just wants you to put in more effort.

Cards Used: The Star: King of Wands, Four of Cups, Prince of Wands, Page of Discs (RX), 3 of Discs.

extras: “you’re being uptight.” “i’d put my life on the line for you.” spotlight. errands. ADD. chronic lip licker. “you stole my clothes.” new wardrobe. a kiss on the cheek. pillows. voluptuous. chanel. argan oil. tree climbing. golf. tennis. pierced earlobe. “i didn’t get you anything, sorry.”

Pile 2: If you resonate with the photo of Beyoncé and Solange, this is your pile. Damn Pile Two, you’re quite the looker aren’t you? Your sister sees the physical growth that you’ve made in the past two years and she is in awe of it! You’re absolutely flawless dear! But don’t forget to hold onto your vision. I feel like this pile is in high school? Maybe a freshman in college. But you have a lot of admirers. I feel like your sister is younger than you & they feel like you’re not paying attention to her as you as you used to. She feels like you mistreat her, not necessarily on purpose. It may be because you’re so busy. She wants you to not forget about them. Your sister is proud of your pursuit of higher learning (if you’re in college). She is going to follow in your footsteps because of this. But make sure you keep your promises, babe. Go to that yogurt shop with her. Go shopping with her at the mall. Go to the movies. Hell, go to the park with her. Paint with her. Spend quality time with your sister so she can stop feeling this way!

Cards Used: Nine of Cups, Ace of Discs, Four of Discs, Five of Swords, 7 of Cups (RX), Princess of Cups, 10 of Discs.

extras: strawberry & banana smoothie. teenage dirtbag. furry boots. sweet treats. calming down after nightmare. salad. elephant lover. french tips. sparkles. ribbons. bows. “speak up, honey”. abbott elementary. “i want more you.” “honesty is everything.” “keep my secret.” conceited by remy ma.

Pile 3: Last but not least, if you resonate with the photo of Tia and Tamera, then this your pile. Aw, Pile Three, your sister regrets the last conversation y’all had. I feel like this conversation could have been about how personal choices affect loved ones, i.e. bringing around terrible dating partners/friends, not paying off debts in time. It also could have been a conversation about codependency or feeling smothered. It feels like your sister understands why you left; you wanted to put yourself first. It took her some time to realize that y’all can be separate and still have love for you. Y’all need time apart to grow. Do you have a twin, Pile Three? Or were you extremely connected to your sister on a soul level at some point? There will be some time for y’all to reconnect but just not right now. There’s some stubborn energy between the both of you but y’all will reconnect once there is momentum in the both of you guys’ lives. She doesn’t hate you for being independent, but she does hate the way things ended, Pile Three.

Cards Used: Eight of Cups, The World, Five of Swords, Four of Discs, Two of Wands, Nine of Discs, Strength, 7 of Wands.

extras: “i have the balls, you don’t.” “it’s my prerogative.” oil and vinegar. liv and maddie. perfectionism. credit card debt. “drink up.” doodlebob. responsibilities. the old days. unplugged cords. cauliflower. fake vegan. bad eyesight. chloe bailey. drinking water. messy bedroom.

Pushed Away

Pairing: Bayley x Reader Word Count: 1,284 Description: In the weeks leading up to Mania, Bayley feels lost and pushes her girlfriend away.

@madhatterbri here you are lovely I hope that you enjoy it! Thanks for sending the request in.

Excluding her from nights out or just finding reasons why they couldn’t travel together. So, when they jumped her in the ring after she overheard them talking about her backstage Bayley felt betrayed. She had put so much into this group trying to make them the most dominant women’s fraction that had ever existed in WWE. The people she had considered her friends deserted her like so many before.

Originally when she won the rumble, she was going to face Rhea that way she and Iyo could be at the top of the women’s division together. That all changed the moment she realized she couldn’t trust them anymore. Bayley knew that the weeks leading up to Mania were going to be brutal she’d have to go after those she cared about. And given what Damage Control had done to the women’s division she knew that help wouldn’t be easy to find.

Every week she’d be looking over her shoulder waiting for an attack and every time it came, she felt like she was losing sanity. Bayley felt like she couldn’t trust anyone, not even the person who had been there from the start of it all from the moment she joined the main Roster. Her girlfriend Y/n. Someone she cared for more than anyone else she worked with.

After Bayley had limped to the locker room and changed after another attack she came out and spotted Iyo and Dakota talking to y/n. Her heart broke and not thinking in her right mind Bayley knew she needed to watch herself, even if that meant pushing Y/n away.

“Have you seen Bayley?”

Y/n asked for the fifth time to one of her coworkers when her girlfriend hadn’t returned any of her texts or calls. She wanted to be sure the other woman was alright after what happened in the ring and still hadn’t been able to reach or find her.

“Zelina! Please have you seen Bayley? I’ve been looking all over for her, and I haven’t been able to find her.”

“Yeah, I saw her limping outside to an uber, I thought the two of you left together?”

“We were supposed too that’s why I drove the rental here, but she must have been hurting really badly and just didn’t bother to wait.”

“Possible she did look to be in a bit of pain medical probably told her to just take it easy and rest. Let me know if you need anything once you check in on her.”

“Thank you I appreciate that.”

After saying goodbye to her friend Y/n continued to the parking lot and got in her rental heading for the hotel. She was still a bit concerned about why Bayley hadn’t answered any of her attempts to reach her but chalked it up to her possibly being in the shower. Once y/n finally made it to the hotel and up to their shared room she swiped the key card and peeked her head inside expecting to see Bayley laying on the bed. Instead, the room was empty, looking around the room she spotted the area that their suitcases had sat and only hers was there. A heavy feeling began to grow in her stomach as she searched for a note, finally she spotted one on a piece of hotel paper.

Dear y/n, I know you’re probably freaking out right now wondering where I am and what’s going on. Don’t worry about me, I just need some space to think. I seen Dakota and Iyo talking to you after I got cleaned up and I just can’t risk another person I care about turning on me. I know it’s not fair to just assume you would, but I need to be careful. I’m sorry if this hurts you but I need to do what’s best to ease my mind until this whole thing with Iyo and Damage Control is over. I don’t have anyone at work to support me against the four of them and if I want to be able to beat Iyo at Wrestlemania I need to be focused. Don’t take it personally but this is what I have to do. I need to protect myself and I don’t think I could take it if they used you to get to me. It would just about end me.

Bayley

Reading the note for a third time y/n sunk onto the bed staring off as she tried to think. She knew the group turning on Bayley had really shaken her confidence. That and the attacks Damage Control did while together took away every possible ally she could have. Or so she assumed, Y/n had spoken to Naomi and she felt for Bayley knowing sometimes you let things just go to your head.

Iyo and Dakota had been talking to y/n that was true, but it was only to see how Bayley was handling the storyline, she didn’t realize until this moment that it was going harder for Bayley than she imagined. Setting the note to the side y/n made the decision to respect her girlfriend and give the space she was asking for even if it was hard. And the three weeks that followed were very hard, seeing Bayley struggling on tv despite having Naomi’s help. Hearing her backstage trying to make amends so someone could take care of the rest of Damage Control so she could deal with Iyo. It wasn’t easy for y/n to sit by and watch, seeing the dismay on her face at every rejection.

When Jade, Bianca and Naomi decided to team up and fight Damage Control at Mania you were relieved. Now she could hopefully have some peace of mind going into her match. Y/n still hadn’t received any more text messages from her apart from the occasional check in text. It made her feel a little better knowing she still cared enough to look in after her girlfriend. The bed was lonely at night and deep-down part of her was hurt that Bayley didn’t trust her enough to know she’d never turn on her.

So, it was much to her surprise when she got a knock on the hotel door at nearly eleven thirty after the first night of Wrestlemania. When y/n saw that it was Bayley on the other side she opened the door confused.

“Bayley? What are you doing here?”

“I needed to see you, can I come in?”

“Yes of course come on.”

Stepping back, she let the other woman in the room and gently closed the door behind her, watching as Bayley looked around the room. Y/n couldn’t help noticing the dark circles under her eyes but remained silent.

“I’m so sorry y/n I’m so damn sorry.”

She said as tears sprung to her eyes and she covered her face, y/n frowned walking over and just as she started wrapping her arms around her. Bayley’s legs gave out, y/n quickly did her best to lift her and got them onto the bed where she held her girlfriend close.

“You’re okay, you’re just tired and you need to let it out you’ve been driving yourself crazy these last few weeks and you’re probably nervous about tomorrow.”

“I’m scared I’m not going to be able to do it, I think I can but I just part of me is scared I’m going to fail and lose this moment.”

“Don’t worry I’m right here and we can work it out together.”

Y/n said holding her still as they laid there her whispering soft words to Bayley as she did her best to console her.

🎶You’re the one that I want…

Across the large hall, amid evening gowns and tuxedos, he stood. Those intense blue eyes could not be mistaken by anyone other than himself, and even after two years they still held the same amount of power over her as they once did.

He always had the worst timing. Every time, without fail, he decided to reappear from the ashes like a Fenix after she somehow managed to get a hold of her life once again. A part of her thinks he does this on purpose, he has a silent pleasure in watching her suffer whenever he decides to show up in her life again. Whenever he decides to reclaim her body, her heart pays the price, but not this time.

She crossed the hall towards the dark corner of the room, confident steps guided her to him once more, to what she hoped to be the last time.

“Who let you come in? I don’t recall sending you an invitation” She stated. Her posture was impeccable, back and knees straightened, shoulders back, head never once looking down, hands confidently and delicately placed on top of each other in front of her stomach.

School me to what makes you shake shake it off…

She certainly changed, and that was the first thing Mox noticed when he instantly found her being the center of attention in a crowd of rich people. The confidence that once lacked in her was now abundant enough to be categorized as arrogance, and even from afar, Mox could tell that she had learned how to be one of them. She was incredibly smart and had a certain ease to adapt to the environment she was in, it was one of the qualities he most admired in her. She knew people from different social statuses, attended diverse gatherings and knew how to properly behave in all of them. But that wasn’t what surprised him the most, what did catch him off guard though was the wedding announcement in the gossip column of The New York Times.

“The public announcement was enough of an invitation for me. I didn’t know I would need a formal card asking me to come, although I have a feeling you wouldn’t want someone like me attending your high society party”

“Follow me” She demanded quickly, before turning around and taking the stairs up to the terrace.

Mox cackled as he followed her, his eyes roamed through her figure, drowning in the sight of the only woman who was able to keep him in check. The fancy clothes added to her natural royalty appeal, and that was the first thing that drew his attention to her in that indie wrestling show over 10 years ago: her royal aura. She was the princess that his bad boy self couldn’t wait to get a hold of, the proof that he could achieve something solid, good, and worthy in life even though he barely had money to keep himself alive.

Her heels stopped clicking once they reached the terrace, “Well” She turned around to face him, “What is it that you want this time, Jonathan?”

Though I'm degenerate he's the fool who's going to bore you to death…

“Jonathan?” Mox chuckled “Are nicknames not allowed in your world anymore, kitty? Are they too poor for your upper-class vocabulary?” He continued to stare at her and kept drowning in her beauty. She was still drop-dead gorgeous, only now her doll-like beauty had been covered by heavy amounts of makeup to make her lose her innocent appearance and gain more of a womanly look.

“Nicknames are reserved for friends” She shrugged lightly

“Am I not your friend?”

“You’re an acquaintance, Jonathan. Nothing more, nothing less. Just an acquaintance”

“Hmmm,” Mox hummed, his heavy boots now stomping on the hardwood floor as he took three more steps toward her until he was close enough to feel the warmth radiating from her skin.

“I don’t think acquaintances would do half the things we did, kitty cat”

“That’s in the past now, Jonathan. Things have changed”

“Did they though? Because I’m pretty sure I still have the same effect on you as you do on me” Mox’s fingers traced her exposed collarbone, and the electricity of his touch on her skin continued to be as alive as it ever was. The sparkle was still present, the desire, the attraction, the primal need, and the urge to get intoxicated in each other until nothing else existed survived the years and was as strong as ever.

“You’re wrong” She lied effortlessly as she did so many times before in front of the mirror whenever he abandoned her.

“Am I?” Mox wrapped his fingers at the base of her neck, subtly pulling her closer to his lips. “So you won’t mind if I put your statement to the test?”

He's super rich and privileged

Sleepwalking for so many years

He looks good stock, he seems well bred

Sleepwalking for so many years…

“I don’t have to prove you shit!” She hissed, fists balling beside her in an attempt to keep her anger under control.

A sly smirk plastered on Moxley’s lips upon hearing her small curse. “So there’s still some realness in you even after you sat on the money throne, huh? I knew you wouldn’t let me down”.

“What the hell do you want, Jonathan?”

“You’re not going to do that, are you?” Mox’s lips brushed against hers, his rough voice was low, almost a whisper as his warm peppermint breath caressed her skin. “You’re not going to destroy your life like that, I won’t let you do it”.

“Of course, because only you are allowed to destroy my heart and make my life miserable, no?”

“He’s the one who’ll make you miserable, kitten. I’ve seen his pictures, he doesn’t have what it takes to be with you”

“Says the lying asshole who never kept his promises and abandoned me whenever he had the chance”

“I’ve never done any of that and you know it” Moxley’s fingers teased the pulse point of her neck, he drew small circles on the sensitive flesh until they eventually traveled to her nape. “I never lied to you”.

“You said you loved me”

“I did” Mox tilted her neck back until her eyes could stare up at him.

You're the one that I need…

He laid a tempting peck on her lips before whispering “And I still do”. The intense baby blue eyes stared into her soul, and she could feel herself getting overwhelmed by his presence. Whenever she was with him, Moxley turned her into a shy young girl again, the one who was more than prepared to discover the world with the blonde bad boy.

“I kept all of my promises, even when I didn’t want to. I promised to stay away and I did, I promised to never get in touch with you again, and I kept my word. You didn’t want me anywhere near you again, so I did what you asked me to, even though my instincts told me not to”

“I thought you were going to come after me, Jonathan. But you left!”

“You told me to-“

“I was 21 for fuck’s sake! Do you think I meant any of the shit I said to you? I was just a dumb kid trying to get her boyfriend’s attention! I wanted you to come after me at least once, Jon. For the first time in our relationship, I wanted to feel like you cared enough to ask me to stay, I wanted you to fight for us-” She felt her words being swallowed by Mox’s lips.

His hands cupped her cheeks, fingers traced the hairline in her nape before pulling the metal side comb away from her hair. Moxley’s hands buried into the cascade of locks, reveling in the feeling of having her soft mane in his palms once again.

I'm a degenerate but no fool who's going to bore you to death…

“You always talked too much” He whispered in a teasing tone against her wet lips once they broke the kiss.

“You can’t do this, Jon” Her tongue darted out to taste the remaining flavor of his gum on her lips, “You can’t just show up whenever you feel like it and expect me to drop everything-“

“Come with me, kitty cat” His arms closed around her waist, pulling her closer to his body enough for her to feel his erection pressing against her stomach. “I want you to come with me, you know you want to come with me. You don’t belong here”.

“Jon, please. I can’t do this”

Mox intertwined their fingers and began to pull her towards the fire exit, “Come with me, kitten. I promise you won’t regret it”, was the last thing he whispered before the darkness of the stairs engulfed his figure.

MotA Ep 1!!!!

MotA ep 1 thoughts after a not-great night's sleep and before coffee

Very much contains spoilers

It's weird seeing credits like this that aren't BoB or TP. They're a little incredibly on brand but I trust my affection will grow.

John Orloff you must be so happy

MARGE

I love her you guys are just mean

Maybe she ran out of hair products. There's a war on. She's been out all night. It's fine.

I love that they have an established relationship already.

Winters distinction #1 Cleven doesn't even like sports

I was pronouncing and spelling his name wrong in my head

There's something about Austin Butler's face that isn't quite period drama for me but it's fine because the voice actually doesn't bother me at all (are we surprised considering my fave). My mom thinks he's too genre aware (derogatory) and maybe that's true (he does spend a lot of time gazing) but Callum Turner balances him out. I may be 20-34% in love with him.

Buck and Bucky have absolutely helped each other out in the biblical sense

BEAUTIFUL BRUNETTE WOMEN IN MY AREA

The gifmakers have already spoiled me for the coloring of this show

The unicorn is my favorite extinct animal/We're in a dell

Anthony Boyle's narration has an uncanny Nixon sound to it imo

Also I love him

I meant to learn about planes and then I forgot

My dad absolutely acing his "Dad watching WWII drama" report card

Forget Austin Butler's Elvis voice it is too weird having Jude Law Jr. running around

Also I want his outfit

I guess the children don't remember Jude Law???

I got emo during the music of the antiaircraft scene before the bombers show up, if it had gone on longer there probably would have been tears

I don't even want or need to check my phone rn

"We don't get any characterization or get to know anyone" I think that may be the point

Out of all the places I would not want to be on a plane the ball turret is #1. Runner up: every single other seat.

My mom thinks Barry Keoghan is the most real guy of them

I should have written down my parents trying to remember The Banshees of Inisherin

I can't wait to get caught up before this week's ep

Favorite moment and biggest laugh was throwing the salt

🌻

.*•…………………..•⊹•…………………..•*.

it started as one flower, then two. by the end of the week the vase that resided at your window sill had been filled to the brim twice over with beautiful, blooming sunflowers, those from the field just past the stables. you’d find them on your window sill each morning, with no recollection of how they got there or from whom gifted them to you. it was a strange predicament, one that certainly left you on edge slightly yet also the act felt quite harmless and endearing. 

at times you’d find yourself staring at them, admiring the beauty in their simplicity, how the vibrant yellow petals clouded around the rich, dark centre. other times you’d pluck at the petals in a hopeless game of “he loves me, he loves me not” with your so-called secret admirer. even when wilting they seemed so beautiful, you simply could not bring yourself to throw them away. 

“more flowers?” willow, spoke up amongst the silence. she stood in your doorway, leaking against the worn oak frame. she was stocky, but by no means big. her body full and curvaceous, and she was well endowed, much to your jealousy. her hair sat in taught ringlets atop her head, a couple of daisies sat effortlessly amongst the curls, shielded from her eyes by a lilac and white tartan bandana, the same colour and pattern matching the dress she wore.

the sleeves hung off her shoulders slightly, stopping mid forearm, where the cuffs were ruched and tightened slightly around the skin, a white corset tied tightly to accentuate her natural curves completed her ensemble. her skin was warm and sun-kissed lightly with melanin. her smile infection to say the least. a seamstress she was, owning her own tailor shop in town, although she was not against wrangling a few horses if need be. you’d befriended her some years back. she takes up residence in the ranch also, her bedroom only a couple of doors down from yours.

you could only nod with a small chuckle, patting the mattress as an invitation for her to join you. she squeaked with excitement, clapping her hand gleefully like a small child allowed to roam free in a candy store. she took a seat beside you, hands folded in her lap eagerly.

“so, who do you think they’re from?” she questioned.

“honestly i haven’t got the slightest idea” your remark was honest, you indeed had no clue which mysterious stranger would be doing such an act. there was no card, no indication of a name, a signature not even a letter 

“maybe it’s that boy from the theatre last month, the politician's son..oh what’s his name…” willow clicked to tongue sharply as if it were to regain her train of thought 

“…maxwell?” 

“maxwell! that’s it! that boy is always trying to court you!” 

you held your breath for a moment at that thought, a shiver sent down your spine with an almost repulsed expression. sure maxwell was handsome, impeccably dressed and had an outstanding aura in social settings, however, his personality lacks the charm his exterior presents.

“trust me, he’s not the type to court for marriage, if you know what i mean” 

 willow burst out into a fit of laughter, unable to contain it any longer at the thought.

“yeah right! like he’d be the type to send flowers!”

willow’s cheeks were warm with laughter, hot tears pricking the corners of her eyes, wiping them away as she tried to stifle her chuckles. a silence fell throughout the room, not awkward in the slightest, merely letting your mind continue to contemplate 

“are you sure it’s not you?” you jokingly poked her side with your index finger, one of which led to break out into a small fit of giggles once more, tufts of thick curls bouncing lightheartedly with her movement. 

“y/n my darling, trust me. you’d be getting more than sunflowers that's for sure” willow’s playful banter made your cheeks heat up in a bashful glance at your beloved friend. your fingers toying with the hemline of your skirt, the material smooth and silky against your fingertips, the colour, a muted grey-blue that complemented the undertones of your skin . 

“but really…” she continued 

“maybe it’s that new stablehand, he’s rather handsome from what i’ve heard” willow raised her eyebrows in a playful flirtatious fashion, tugging lightly at your arm. 

“what stablehand? father never mentioned a new one-”

“you haven’t seen him yet?” she interrupted, albeit unintentionally, a semi-shocked expression “well, we certainly must change that!”

“willow no-!” you tried to pry her grip from around your wrist, but by god the woman was strong. you were sure she’d leave bruised from how tight she was gripping you, although pain was never her intention. you held onto the metal framing of your bedpost, fingers barely clinging around the thin cylinder, holding on for dear life

“maybe you could ask him about the flowers too!” she mentioned completely ignoring your please

“are you insane?! do you want me to die from embarrassment?!” 

“c’mon don’t be such a scaredy cat, what have you got to lose?” willows voice was all too chipper despite your predicament. 

“only my sanity and dignity for starters…”

As I'm sure many of you know, Scott Patterson who played Luke on Gilmore Girls has a Gilmore Girls-themed podcast and Jared made an appearance in one of the recent episodes.

Before we hop into it from henceforth Scott Patterson is gonna appear as SP and Gilmore Girls as GG.

So this interview was uploaded on Oct 6th, but it was done after Kansas con weekend (23rd to the 25th Sept) we know this because near the end of the panel Jared mentions he had been with Jensen the past weekend in Kansas City.

SP asks Jared how things are going and how the family is doing, Jared says they're great and he gives the kid's names, ages, and school grades. Says O is 5 but thinks she’s 35, and rules the roost, and that it's his day off and he was an hour outside of Austin that he and G snuck out there to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I believe he got away from the hustle and bustle of the city, not sure about his supposed company.

Then SP says he’s in Nova Scotia right now filming a project. That it’s beautiful there, and one of his co-stars is Chad Michael Murray. He doesn't mention what it is he's filming but I was curious so I looked up it's a new show called Sullivan's Crossing.

Jumping right into the questions, was GG Jared's first acting gig that he got hired for? Not technically. Between junior and senior high, he won a contest to be a presenter at the first teen choice awards. At the afterparty, he met Dan Spilo who is his manager to this day, and Spilo asked if he did acting to which Jared replied that he acted in school, and did speech-and-debate, that he loved acting so Spilo gave him his card and told him to keep in touch.

Jared went back to San Antonio to finish his senior year of high school, and Spilo would send him scripts. He would memorize his lines in the script and his mom would film him while she was reading the other character's lines, and Spilo told him he thought he had talent and he could work.

Says his plans were to go to UT Austin and do engineering and premed like his brother had done. And that while his parents were supportive of his acting they thought it sounded like a pipe dream and wanted him to have a backup plan which he was okay with, he was excited to go to Austin and build a life there but then during spring break of his senior year, which fell on Pilot season, he flew out and got a Pilot for a series called Silent Witness which did not get picked up, and that at first his parents were like "okay, you gave it a shot" then the check came in for the Pilot and they were like "follow your dreams son!" 😆He put some of that money away for school then used the rest to drive to Cali with his papaw, his grandfather from his mother’s side. He stayed over at Spilos' house, and did some auditions, and he says back in the 2000s if you were a teenage white dude there was a role for you in every project being made so he got tons of auditions, he booked a guest spot on ER, a movie called A Little Inside, and a four ep guest stint on GG which hadn't aired yet.

At the same time that he got offered those 4 eps on GG he was also offered an independent movie that paid 10 times the money and another that paid 6 times the money. GG hadn’t even aired yet he was this kid who grew up in a small house he was thinking about the money but his agent and manager told him that they thought the show had legs, was intelligent, charming, and heartwarming, and convinced him to grab the GG role instead of the movies.

What does he remember about the audition? He remembers going in, and to the best of his recollection, his first audition was with Lauren and Jaime. They seemed to love him, and he felt like they dug him but he doesn’t know how much of it was them being lovely and professional so he didn’t want to get his hopes up in case they were just nice because he was a kid. Then they brought him back in to audition for Amy and Gavin and they also seemed to dig him, and it was a classic audition room some people were acting really calm and cool while others were acting like they didn't know what they were doing; he went into the room and he said his lines two or three times, had a good feeling from Amy, he felt like she could tell that he was an actor. That he didn’t want to be famous he understood that if he became a successful actor fame might be a part of the equation but he was there to try and tell a story, not for the fame. He had lived 17yrs in Texas, gone to school, and lived a normal life and he thinks that in Amy's mind at least that was refreshing for Dean cause he was a small-town-minded kind of guy even though he grew up in Chicago. He felt at home in Stars Hollow cause he was kind of a low-key guy and Jared was a low-key kid.

SP says the thing that struck all of them was how good of an actor Jared was at such a young age that he was blowing them away, and that his character had one of the greatest character introductions he has ever seen on TV when he meets Rory and they do the book exchange that he was the coolest guy and Jared really knew how to play it and how to handle it. So as critical as he can be with other people’s work he was stunned at how good Jared was and still is that every performance he gave was flawless, and they gush about Jared's performances on the podcast. It was above and beyond what everybody expected and SP didn’t realize until he watched the show how good Jared was.

What was it like meeting Alexis and working with her? She too was a kid from Texas who didn’t know she was going to be on tv, he doesn't know her exact story although he says he would love to know it. But she too was also kind of a fish out of water so that was helpful.

Jared says his comfort zone is acting and focusing on the story. When he got GG it was just 4 eps that's all he had signed a contract for and he thought it was cool that he got to explore a character in more than one ep cause a lot of auditions at the time were for one episode guest slots but with GG he was like "oh 4 episodes how neat".

That in the best way possible he always felt like a guest on the set, even in the seasons where he had more episodes or was more heavily involved in the eps he was in, and that he was famous for how many cookies he would eat every day. He didn't have a lot of money at the time, he had rent to pay so he would go at the end of the day and see if there was any leftover food and there was a big platter of Hollywood company cookies. He shares that one time, maybe during s2 or 3, he was getting more into fitness and aware of calories and it was the early 2000s lots of messages about avoiding saturated fat and getting more fiber, and he randomly called the cookie company one day cause he would eat 8 or 9 of the things and they were not small cookies they were like pancakes. He calls them up and asked for the nutrition like the fats, and calories and stuff so he knew how much to work out to burn it off and the response was "do you like the cookies?" and Jared goes "I love them!" and they tell him"let’s just say this. As much as you love them that’s how many calories they have" they made it clear those cookies were made with love and butter. Says he misses them, they were white chocolate macadamia cookies.

Honestly, fuck the early 2000s view on food, and the damage it has caused in all of us. I hope he has grown a healthier relationship with food, one that doesn't involve worrying about how many calories the cookies he enjoys has and how he's gonna work them off.

Anyways he says through school he had done plays, and debate, and speech and he just loved storytelling. He’s always been a fan of those people who tell a story and everyone is captivated and can make you laugh or cry or both. And at the time while he was filming he still had his housing assignment and secondhand books and thought he’d make as much money as possible and then go back to school. So he was like 'enjoy it while you can'; it wasn’t his career yet, he was thinking the money he could make filming those eps were gonna be helpful to pay for his loans. So he worked really hard on his scenes, and he remembers the exact amount of the paycheck for his first ep of GG. It was 1,234 and he when he got paid he thought he was loaded.

SP says Jared came at it with gratitude and no expectations and Jared comments that even now he comes at it with gratitude. For him, he just really enjoys the work that goes into it and the filming of the scene is the least exciting part what he loves is the rehearsal process whether that's with or without somebody else. His fav part is going through a tv show over and over again and then getting to set to see what sticks and what the rest of the cast and crew wanna do.

Is he similar to Dean? Was he similar to him in high school? In high school, no. He didn't have the confidence Dean had; Dean had a quiet confidence from the get that Jared learned from. He was still 17 he was a kid in every way he'd never left the country, only left the state like twice in his life and it was with his family. San Antonio isn’t a small town but he was kind of a small-town kid, his life was the 3-mile radius around his house which was made up of the grocery store, his school, and his friend's house so maybe similar to Dean because he grew up in Chicago but felt at home in a smaller microcosm. He thinks that was similar, and that he certainly had similarities- he feels like he learned a lot from Dean, that Amy and the gang wrote a character that was really lovable, he had some hiccups across the seasons, but he started out just a good kid.

He mentions there was a scene he was talking about with one of the crew members on Walker and she told him her fam and she were always team Dean and he was like "really?" and she said yeah that the scene where he and Lorelai are eating pizza and talking about his motorcycle seemed sweet, it was wholesome.

SP says one of the ballsiest things he's ever seen a character do on the show is when Dean was over for a movie night and Rory excused herself leaving him and Lorelai alone, and she gave him the speech (the don't hurt my daughter or I'll hurt you speech) and after Lorelie is done he doesn't miss a beat and goes my turn.

That it was very impressive, does Jared remember filming that? He does. He remembers they were all on stage and he remembers the set and he thinks they were on stage 14 or 16.

He also remembers that behind the camera early on in the first season he doesn't remember what he was doing but he was being a little shit and SP walked him into the school set and gave him a talking to because at the time Jared was just playing he was doing the things he would do in school when rehearsing for a play, and the message he remembers from that talk was "hey, we’re working here" and he remembers going "I needed to hear that, right here right now" cause if he wanted to make a career out of it he needed to remember they weren't there to play, it's a job the studio or network was spending millions of dollars. So he thanks SP for that.

The things SP remembers most about Jared on set were their discussions about training and Jared wanting to gain weight. Jared remembers there was a time when he got to set and shook SP's hand not knowing SP had been kickboxing and had like a fracture.

What does he remember about having to film the high school party fight scene with Milo? And how log did it take with that choreography? It was shot at the WB ranch and he feels like they shot it in a night.

GG was known for being a long day he remembers driving off the lot on other occasions at like 6am and driving past the guards and them being like "GG?". They shot in November or December from 6pm to 6 am and Milo was super fit that when you're doing a stunt sequence with somebody who is not super physically capable it’s worrisome cause you don’t know if he's coordinated and you think you're gonna get hurt but he didn’t feel that way with Milo. Milo is fit and seemingly always has been and still is and so he remembers thinking it was gonna be fun, it was a good time. And they’ve always gotten along extremely well, so it helps a lot when you trust and respect those you're working with especially in a physical sequence.

He also says Milo helped show him the ropes cause even a season into GG he was still a white belt, and shares the lunch story about how Milo is the one who let him know they were allowed to leave set.

Does he know or have any guesses as to who Rory's baby daddy is? He doesn’t know for sure, his understanding is that it has changed a couple of times. He has some guesses but he wouldn’t put it past the Palladino's to change it.

Says that when they did the GG reunion he was supposed to be in more of it but at the time he was shooting SPN in Van so they had to whittle it down and grab him on a free day.

Can he talk about his work when it comes to mental health advocacy? He doesn’t like to say that he has mental health struggles, he prefers to say relationship. Shares the quote about pain and suffering, and says he takes his relationship with his mental health very seriously that he sees a doc every week and has for years. It occurred to him that especially in the early GG years, he thinks he’s always had underlying anxiety mostly but also depression, at times he got pretty bad. He felt like there he was playing pretend for a living, buying a house with money he made, in magazines, making new friends but he would go home and cry sometimes, or sit and not do anything.

There was nothing on paper he could write down that he was unhappy about so he didn't know why he was anxious or sad, and he adds the note that you can feel sad and not be depressed. So he would wonder what was wrong with him, then one day with a lot of friends and family and the fandom it was a leap of faith to open up about this, and he was worried and anticipating judgement but instead, he was met with nothing but love and support. His main message is if you feel like you’re alone, you’re not. Humans are human, we all have highs and lows, and someone can be happy on the outside and sad on the inside and that’s okay no feeling is final; keep your head up and be honest about it. The biggest deal for him was to say he was dealing with something while on the outside he looks like he has everything someone could wish for but that doesn’t mean the brain won't do what it does.

Then there's a little bit of talk about spn, what can he say about that experience of being on a single network and dspn for more than two decades? Says spn was CW before the CW, that season 1 was on WB so for many years spn was the only show on tv that was older than the network that aired it. They had a lot of scares and moments they thought they were done for but they were this little show that could and much like GG, it had a very dedicated audience.

That spn was a really magical show and experience it’s where he met his wife who was on s4 (🙄) and where he got to meet people that have become close friends and family, and it's where he feels he earned his black belt. Anything that could be done on screen he did it on spn, it was a huge blessing and the fandom is outstanding that at the cons he'll see faces he's seen over the decades that it doesn’t feel like star-fan it’s like long-time friends. A shared passion. 

SP asks about Jensen. Jared says he just calls him Ackles that he doesn’t think he’s called him Jensen in 12 years.

Is he excited to see how the prequel unfolds? He says yes. This is where he mentions that he had been with Jensen recently in Kansas for the con. Says their kids go to the same school, and that they're dear friends. That he was texting him the day previous because Jensen was talking about some app that you can use to stream tv because sometimes Jared is in his trailer and wants to "watch Walker or whatever"....I love the domesticity but my boy, do you not know Netflix? Hulu? Disney+?

Continuing, he says they talk about all sorts of stuff, that Jensen's a fellow Texan, he grew up in North Dallas, has a wife and three kids and he's (Jared) is a Texan with a wife and three kids, both are country music fans they have lots to talk about; that he's got 3 young kids, and a wife, and a couple of jobs so he doesn't really see anybody unless their last name is Padalecki and live in the same house or they work on Walker (that's a load of bull) but Jensen has directed Walker and they're hoping to get him on board but he's filming in NM right now.

I imagine Jared's internal monologue when talking about Jensen during this podcast was "don't be suspicious" because if you listen to this part of the podcast it's clear, imo, that Jared is being cautious with what he says the most noticeable moment being when he has to pause to figure out how to describe who Jensen is to him after saying that their kids go to the same school, or how he mentions casually texting Jensen and then feels the need to mention they both have wives and that he doesn't really see anybody unless it's his wife and kids or somebody from the set.

SP says that Jensen is a heck of a musician isn’t he? Jared answers that he’s great, he has a great voice, great guitar- that always when they had late nights on spn he’d take his guitar over to Jensen's trailer or vice versa and they’d sit together and strum and play a little bit. Since the day he met him back in 2005, Jensen has been noodling on a guitar and singing his beautiful voice. Even when being cautious the husband jumps out.

Final questions how did Walker come about? During s14 of spn Jensen and he had a conversation and made the decision that it was time to hang up the flannel because their wives and kids lived in Austin and they were working in Van and they felt it was time for them to meet their wives and kids. So they approached the studio network and told them if they did another year it would be their last one. Then talking with Mark Pedowitz who was president of CW at the time he told Jared that if he was ever interested in getting back on camera or developing or something he hoped he would be Jared's first phone call. And Jared sort of tried to talk his way out of it saying it would have to be in Austin and he would want to be a producer to help develop it but Pedowitz was in total agreement.

Jared talked to his manager, and he once again for some reason added the detail that this is the same manager he has had since high school, but anyways he doesn't remember who it was that brought up Walker who is a Texas ranger and the HQ for the rangers is in the Capital of Texas which is Austin so basically it fit and from their initial conversations the idea was always about Walker being a family man who happens to be a ranger, a guy trying the best he can; that he’s been fortunate to have a lot of friends in law enforcement and military and they have difficult jobs but they’re just people. People are people they are human beings with emotions and feelings and highs and lows. He also mentions the oped that he read in the Times about the officer working the border who gave up the badge because they couldn't do what was being asked of them of separating a child from their family.

At the time of this being filmed, he was filming episode 6 of Walker. And he mentioned that Walker Independence had been in development before Walker even aired. That Seamus Fahey who is the showrunner on Walker Independence and was then co-EP for Walker started to think about the Walker family and their roots and he thought there was a story there, Jared agreed and they started to work on it.

Then they do a little GG trivia game and while doing it Jared shares a little LOTR story. So he read the books before the movies came out, and he thinks this was during s3 of GG they were doing a massive scene they shot it on the lot everybody was in it including Ed Herrmann who noticed Jared was reading the book. He went over to Jared and asked him if he was enjoying them, Jared told him he was loving them and that he wanted to get through them before the movies came out, and then Herrmann asked him where he was in the books, Jared replied he was reading Fellowship of the Ring and they had just gone through the mines of Moria. Herrman looks away for a moment then turns back to Jared and recites the passage he had just been reading 5mins ago verbatim.

And that was Jared's appearance on the GG podcast! And this was a lot longer than I expected oh my goodness, if you want to check out the podcast for yourself you can do so through Spotify, Apple Podcast, and iHeart radio.

Wrestlers as Types of Kisses: ii. Ace Austin - Kiss to the Wrist

Fandom: Impact Wrestling Pairing/Form: Ace Austin x Commentator!Reader / Blurb Warnings: N/A Word Count: 935 Plot: Part of your role as a commentator is being the biggest Bullet Club hater in Impact, but your offscreen relationship with Ace Austin is actually quite friendly. Just friendly as in just friends though, you definitely have no interest in him romantically, not even a little, not at all!

“1! 2! 3! And that’s another Inevitable win for Bullet Club’s Ace Austin!” 

You rolled your eyes as Matthew Rehwoldt raved. He playfully elbowed you, “Come on, aren’t you going to comment on that finish?” He was messing with you, playing up your well known on-screen distaste for all things Bullet Club.

“I’d be more excited about it if it wasn’t Ace Austin, and more impressed if he didn’t cheat.” 

Rehwoldt laughed. “Aw, come on, one little card, one little papercut, and what the ref doesn’t see, doesn’t count!”

“You’re not wrong on that last part, unfortunately, and I’m not wrong that it’s time to move onto our next match! If Ace ever stops his celebration and leaves the ring, that is.” 

Naturally, at that moment, the “Inevitable One” made eye contact with you, smirking when he saw your disdain, and blowing you a kiss for good measure. You rolled your eyes again as the crowd hooted and hollered.

While Ace eventually left the ring, you stayed under the lights for the rest of the show, manning the commentary desk with Renwoldt and Tom Hannifan. Doing commentary combined all the things you loved most - analysis, comedy, teamwork, and watching wrestling. The action in front of you and the antics of your co-commentators (including occasionally needing to wrangle them out of their arguments enough to call the action) drew you in and wiped the stain of Ace Austin and his Bullet Club shenanigans from your mind…mostly. Almost entirely. Absolutely entirely. 

Okay, so maybe your mind kept flickering back to his wink and to the way his lips looked when he blew you that kiss. Maybe. Just a couple times. 

Not that you would ever tell him that; his ego was bigger than his thighs (which you also never thought about) already, and that was saying something. 

Ace was so far from your thoughts that you nearly jumped when you heard him call your name backstage after the show. You’d been checking your email on your phone when he sidled up. 

He chuckled at your reaction, “You alright there, beautiful?”

You rolled your eyes but smiled and nodded. Your offscreen dynamic with Ace wasn’t nearly as hostile as your onscreen one. Really, you were friends. And that was all you wanted to be. Despite his flirtations. Just friends. 

“Good,” Ace grinned. “So Rehwoldt said you were saying all kinds of mean things about me on commentary again. So rude!” 

“Of course I was,” you grinned back at him, dramatically pointing at yourself, “Hello? Number one Bullet Club hater here!”

Ace playfully poked your arm, “You’re a great actress, pretending you hate us, pretending you hate me.” 

“And you’re a great actor, pretending to be a total douchebag. Of course, the part of your character that’s a total dork is all you.”

Ace laughed, “Is that supposed to hurt my feelings? Because I am proud of my nerdiness, thank you!” 

“As you should be,” you laughed too. Ace’s laughs, his smiles, they had that effect - they were contagious. 

“Well I know I’ve said it before, but I’m glad our beef is only on screen.” 

“Me too,” you playfully poked his arm. “I’m glad we’re friends.”

“Me too too!” He beamed, poking your arm in turn. “I hope we’re friends for a long time.”

You nodded, and the two of you lapsed into a comfortable silence. Well, it was mostly comfortable. Comfortable as in you felt safe, you felt secure. But you didn’t feel relaxed. He was much too close for you to feel relaxed. His pretty eyes kept glancing over at you. His broad shoulders flexed as he leaned against the wall. His hand nearly brushed against yours. 

“Hey,” There were those pretty eyes again, demanding your attention as he spoke to you. “Friends can hold hands, right?”

“Uh, sure?” You raised your eyebrows.

“So can I hold yours?” His glance flicked away for a moment before he met your eyes again.

“Uh, y-yeah,” you held your hand out, hoping it wasn’t shaking, and he took it, wrapping his fingers around your palm. You looked away, sure that you were blushing.

Ace stayed quiet for a few moments, but it wasn’t long before he squeezed your hand and said, “Hey, so friends can hold hands…can they give each other a kiss-”

Your eyes widened, but Ace finished off his sentence with, “-on the cheek? Or the hand?”

“O-oh,” you were so blushing, anyone would blush about that, right? “Sure, yeah, friends can do that.” 

Ace scooted closer to you, still leaning against the wall, his face now inches from your own. “You know, if I got this close to you on camera, I’m not sure you’d be able to pretend to hate me.”

You sputtered a bit and then rolled your eyes. “Of course I would. I’m a professional.”

“I don’t know,” Ace smiled, “your pulse is speeding up.”

“Wh-what?” A nervous laugh escaped before you could stop it.

“Yeah,” Ace wouldn’t look away from you. He smiled again before slowly, gently lifting the hand he held closer to his face, “I can feel it,” he pressed his lips to the inside of your wrist, “right here.” The last words were breathed against your skin as he lingered there. 

Your head was much too fuzzy at the moment to question if he could really feel your pulse, and you would only roll your eyes about that hours later; for now you simply looked up at him, caught in his eyes, blushing at his smile. Ace pressed his lips to your wrist once more before lowering your linked hands.

I just had the best conversation about ace Austin to a friend on Insta and I had myself cackling because I said this

Like I’d love for him to just shut me up by shoving his card in my mouth 🫠

Then I followed that up with this

It’s a screenshot of a gif but this alone is perfect

I got my friend cackling too

Enemies to lovers with Nick Jackson? He seems like the innocent one but I think he can be worse than his brother

🎶 Sweet dreams are made of this…

Tag: @theworldofotps , @writtingrose , @letsgivethisonemoreshot , @aerynscrichton , @daddyhausen , @damnnhausen , @starwithaheart, @unoficialy-married-to-ace-austin , @sophiewolfheart-blog , @sultryfandoms , @new-zealand-chic , @crowleysqueenofhell , @thealliasylum , @legit9thlunaticwarrior , @baysexuality , @josiewrites , @seeingstarks , @sldghmmr , @irish-newzealand-idian-dutch , @whenimakeitshine1234 , @blaquekittycat , @tahiri-veyla

His good boy face managed to trick everyone, except you.

No, you know there’s not even an ounce of goodness inside Nick fucking Jackson.

If anything, that bastard is the complete opposite. The perfect example of wolf in sheep’s clothing.

But of course no one believed you. They all thought you were being over dramatic. “He’s a nice guy. You just have to leave your doubts aside. I’m sure that if you have a chat with him, you’ll see him with new eyes”

*New eyes my ass* Was the thought you always had whenever someone stepped up to defend the younger Jackson.

That man was mean to his core, and you were determined to not be another one to fall for his innocent façade.

The fake innocence had you nauseous. The evil glimpse in his cornflower blue eyes and the subtle tone of mischief and sarcasm behind his stupid laugh never failed to annoy you.

*This is war!* You thought to yourself when you found out he had managed to steal your hotel key card from your bag.

Cursing your way towards his room - which was two doors down your own - you knocked on the door quite vigorously.

“C’mon, fucker. I know you’re in there!” Your every word dripped with venom. Anger made itself known in the depths of your being, and you could feel it rising to the top once you heard his unmistakable laugh behind the closed door.

“Such a dirty mouth” Nick leaned against the door frame after opening it “Good little girls shouldn’t have a sailor’s mouth”

Your loud scoff echoed through the empty hotel hallway as you stared into the sparkling blue eyes “Trust me, you don’t want to find out how dirty my mouth can be, asshole”

“Is that an invitation? Because I’m dying to find out if you can live up to your promises” The sly smirk plastered on his lips made your blood boil with rage.

“Give me my key card back, Jackson. I’m in no mood for this!” You tapped your foot against the carpeted hallway floor “I need a shower and some rest because unlike you who sat still and smiled for the camera, I actually busted my ass off at work tonight. So cut the bullshit and give me the card so I can go back to my room”.

“So sorry to disappoint you, angelface, but I have no idea where your key card is”

The bastard was a great actor, you would give him that. If you didn’t know any better, you would’ve completely believed him.

“Cut the crap, Nick. Just give me the fucking card”

“Again, that dirty mouth” Nick took two steps forward until he was towering above you “I know nothing about your key card, but if you need a shower so bad, my bathroom is available” He shrugged “The shower is big enough for two and I’m more than willing to help you wash that mouth of yours”

The jerk was sure charming and that was your biggest disadvantage. Nick wasn’t dumb, he was aware of his looks and the effect it had on people. Most of his life he was able to get away with pretty much anything just by putting his natural charm to good use. And the case was no different with you.

He had seen the way you looked at him. The subtle yet very present hint of lust and want behind your rage filled fiery eyes. The subconscious clues your body language gave whenever he was around. Sure there was anger, but that was simply gasoline being thrown into an already burning fire.

The way you struggled to keep an annoyed look on your face was amusing to him. Nick could see the small crack in your petty façade, and he would sure use that to his advantage.

“You wish”

“I sure do” He chuckled “Are you sure you don’t want to come inside?”

“Of course I’m sure, idiot!”

Nick gave a brief, mocking sigh “Pity, I was looking forward to it”

“You’re pathetic, Jackson. You think you’re so smart, so tough, but you’re just ridiculous!”

A wide grin took over Nick’s lips once he saw your desperation had turned into a fiery aggression. He was going to win this game, it was just a matter of pressing the right buttons.

“Yeah?” Nick leaned his head down, gaze fixed on yours and lips so close to each other you could feel his warm breath upon your skin. “What else am I, huh?”

“You’re…” The scent of his tropical body wash made you momentarily weak with need.

He was toying with you, making you fall for his trap and finally give in to him. Your mind screamed for you to hold it together, but your body had a mind of its own. And it was clear which one would win the minute Nick’s lips brushed against yours.

“I am what, angel?” His fingertips ghosted over the sides of your neck before going up to cup your cheeks “Tell me”

“Is your shower really big enough for two?” The words flew out of your mouth before you could stop them

Nick grinned widely in response “Mhmm, so is the bed. Big and comfy, made just for the two of us. All you have to do is step inside”

Your hands closed around his wrists, a last attempt to try to ground yourself before it was too late. But the battle was already lost when Nick softly pecked your lips “C’mon” The unspoken promise was all it took for you to break and give in.

Looking into the bright, blue eyes, what more could you do beside following him inside?

5-7 and all of the creator asks for oc pride? - @void-botanist

ohmygoodness, if I'm understanding your ask that's like 10 questions so I'm going to put it under a cut for scrolling. Thank you for giving me so much space to ramble!

5. I have answered here

6. How does your oc feel about labels? Theirs, or in general?

Most of them are quite comfortable and find them helpful. Reeve feels iffy about labels because he feels like the brain is too complex and contradictory for it but he keeps that to himself. (honestly, I just think he's flabbergasted by people who know themselves well enough to pick a label)

7. Is there something that could cause your oc to question their identity? What?

For sexuality, I'd say love, across the board. For gender, eh, just their own shifting experience. Creator asks- 14. Do you have ocs on the aro or ace spectrum?

Yes, answered elsewhere.

15. Do any of your ocs use neopronouns? Which ones?

Stormy uses they/them and Echo (in Arc 3) uses all pronouns.

16. Did you ever change an oc's identity when they were already established? Why?

Rarely when they've been established. I think just Hannah. The character was originally a guy but reading what we'd written of them, it was more like a woman we'd mislabeled. She also didn't start out as ace but they were created in 2006 or so before we had heard of asexuality as a thing. Still, whenever I tried to ship [him and then her] it gave me the ick so once we learned a word for it, it all made sense.

17. Do you share identity with any of your ocs? Which ones?

Sure. There are lots of bi/pan folks for me and Echo is genderfluid like me. Austin and Gage are both transmasc like my partner and my partner is also on the ace spectrum like Hannah.

18. Do you prefer to give your ocs specific labels, or keep it unspecified? Why? If applicable, do you change their labels depending on circumstance?

I try to give them if they would provide them/it's necessary, but not automatically. Reeve doesn't identify himself as queer for 50 some-odd pages because it's not relevant. And their labels change if they change.

19. Do you have preferences about depicting homo/transphobia in your stories? What, and why? Does it vary by story?

Okay, we have big feelings about this. While the story is not free of queer-phobic shit entirely (it's the world after all), we are not interested in portraying hate crimes. It's important to us that queer/trans people have stories and conflict and victories and losses that are unrelated to their gender and sexuality. Austin's life isn't fucked up because he's trans. He's just also trans while his life gets fucked up. As readers, we wanted stories about incidentally queer people who aren't being oppressed for plot or being self-hateful/shaming/struggling with their identities. Just comfortably queer people getting into shenanigans. So that's what we try to write.

They're here. They're queer. And nothing else is ever going to go right for them again but that's unrelated.

20. Have your ocs helped you in self discovery? How?

I'd say yes. We started developing the cast in our early 20s in college while we were also trying to sort out our own sexuality/gender stuff in a time before we had the sort of language/resources that exist today. I would say that sticking my brain into the POVs of different characters on the gender/sexuality spectrums certainly helped me find out where my head feels at home.

21. Free ramble card wee

I. Feel. Like. I. Just. Rambled. So. Much! I'm out of fuel lmao

Thank you again for the ask! You're awesome.

Elle’s Unsolicited Commentary on BOSJ 30 Night 1

WHAT A SHOW. BELOW LIE THE COMMENTS I RANTED INTO MY PHONE AS I WATCHED, HOPEFULLY PROPERLY EDITED THIS TIME XD

Match 1 - Clark Connors vs. Kevin Knight: okay so my first thing is that when the bullet club music and it wasn't Ace I was sad because like my mind is just triggered to react to the "BULLET CLUB 4-4-4-4-LYFE" being Ace and Bey because I am an Impact girlie at heart. Also I'm sorry I still can't take Clark Connor seriously in Bullet Club mode. Will I get there are some point? TBD. Why is Kevin Knight's title upside down also how do he and Kushi see in those sunglasses. The way that members of the crowd laughed at Clark when he shouted "WHAT?" at them - it was a fun moment,  good fun heel work, ya know? Clark winning this match makes sense because it boosts his credibility as BC's newest member. Gedo, oh Gedo, why must you introduce a chair. Also why didn't Kushi come help Kevin :(?

Match 2 - Taiji Ishimori vs. Ryusuke Taguchi:  Taiji, I love you, I do, but that hat and the mask are just not it (to me, to each spider their own web). Yes I love Taiji but I am rooting for Taguchi to win unironically. Can't be mad at Taiji for winning, but rooting for Taguchi in the next one. I'm surprised he kept his promise longer than 30 seconds this year...

Match 3 - Dan Moloney vs. Bushi: skipped (no hate to either, I just only have so much time to fit nooj in)

Match 4 - Douki vs. Kushida: I just let out the dreamiest actual chin resting in hand sigh when Douki came out - the silver and black look on him is just chef's kiss I just WOW. Kushida, I'm so sorry you know that I love you but I must root for Douki. Very important Douki update THERE ARE SPARKLES ON HIS PANTS. Also I should probably mention the onion? That is part of commentary today? The crowd cheering for Douki has me emotional also it does appear we may have disheveled-hair-out-of ponytail-Douki, so I must thank Kushida for that. Douki's reversal on that submission! Avert your eyes his nosey is out I repeat HIS NOSEY IS OUT and he's in a double wrist lock so he can't cover it back up! This just in Douki is actually trying to kill me at the end of the match where after he gets the pin he rolls back and there's a close-up shot of him with disheveled hair like coming out of his ponytail while dramatically moving his arms in victory which emphasizes his biceps and also looking like he's suffered. Post match, first of all I love the little lyrics with the Just Five Guys song that's hilarious, second, DOUKI VICTORY 😭😭😭

Match 5 - Akira vs. Wato: Commentary mentioned Ace Austin and it hurt me stop mentioning Ace if you're not going to give me Ace. I'm not saying the timing of me saying that into my phone and then Ace posting on Instagram is like a thing but it is kind of funny. Also my son  Wato should be allowed to kill anyone he wants. We have the Young Lions acting as human guardrails which is a like that makes sense and glad they're doing it hope they stay safe also kind of adorable and funny and also also because Kyle Fletcher has a feud with guardrails does this mean he has to fight the Young Lions? The reversals and counters at the end of this match were really really fun also I love a win for my son.

Match 6 - Lio Rush vs. Sho: Sho coming out with the definitely not a wrench in a handkerchief. Classic. Also, I appreciate his dedication to the Yugioh card aesthetic with that jacket. Two things - first, Sho immediately breaking his promise to play things clean? Hilarious. Second, Kevin Kelly going "YOU LYING ASSHOLE" or whatever like that's me, XD. I ended up skipping to the end of the match but I do love that Lio won.

Match 7 - Yoh vs. Robbie Eagles: ZSJ's son coming out with Robbie Eagles is very cute. Said son also needs to stop with his cute little smile. Was not ready for sassy Yoh was not ready for sassy Yoh WAS NOT READY FOR SASSY YOH. Yoh's calves are visible his calves are visible why can I see his calves??????  Okay he just took his ring jacket stuff off and he's wearing shorts made entirely of Jean Pockets I think and also cute little fringed armbands. Yoh doing the air guitar and then throwing it to Tana was very cute. My poor Yoh :(

Match 8 - TJP vs. Titán: skipped Good for Titán on the win!! Also I am shocked that TJP gave him a high five (most reluctant slap of hand when offered a handshake ever but STILL).

Match 9 - El Desperado vs. Yoshinobu Kanemaru: Commentary mentioning that Suzuki-gun is no longer a thing hurt me deeply. I knew that watching New Japan again would force me to recognize that this has happened instead of being denial like I have for the past several months but it still hurts.

Match 10 - Speedball Mike Bailey vs. Hiromu Takahashi: Chris Charlton is so correct: "I am blinded by his smile and his positivity." I'm so here for Chris fanboying over Speedball, he's SO RIGHT. Hiromu, dear strange cat man, this is going to be so good. CHRIS' DESCRIPTION OF SPEEDBALL'S PRESSER SPEECH IS SO ON POINT NOT ONLY FOR HIS SPEECH BUT SPEEDBALL IN GENERAL, THIS MAN WILL SMILE HAPPILY WHILE DEAD SERIOUSLY SAYING HE WILL DESTROY HIS OPPONENT AND IT'S SO. Speedball going for the handshake bow hug combo and then Hiromu pulling him in for the attack! Speedball's purple and gold gear is everything. THIS MATCH GOES HARD, AS EXPECTED. OH MY GOSH SPEEDY ACTUALLY WON I'M FREAKING OUT I DID NOT EXPECT HIROMU TO LOSE HIS FIRST MATCH IN THE TOURNEY BUT THIS IS SO COOL ALSO SPEEDY LOOKS SHOCKED TOO. Speedball, sitting next to Hiromu and reaching his hand out with the most desperate expression I'M FEELING EMOTIONS. HIROMU TAKE HIS FUCKING HAND. OKAY GOOD. OH WAIT, HE HELD UP A FINGER. HM. OH SPEEDBALL IS GONNA SAY WORDS NOW. AW I LOVE THE CROWD CHEERING FOR HIM. Speedball casually flexing Japanese, French, and English in the opening of his speech before going into English aldkjaldj. He's such a darling bean and I love him.
