Missing Jenna Playlist

Summary: Without your girlfriend's comforting presence, you take to youtube to find any form of comfort. Luckliy for you, your girlfriend is a celebertiy with a lot of interviews to watch.

Warrnings: None, just fluff, and maybe some errors

Author's Note: Thank you for the love on my last fic, seeing how many of you enjoyed it has really helped me feel more motivated to write. So again, thank you and I hope you enjoy. 🩵

__________

If anyone asked about your comfort playlist full of your girlfriend’s interviews, you’d deny it. Even as said playlist made an appearance in your watch history when she was away filming. 

It had been a particularly hard time spent away from each other when you gave in and made the list. Jenna was so busy that she barely had time to call or FaceTime like usual, not that your conflicting timezone was helping any either. You weren't getting any sleep, realizing just how much your girlfriend’s voice and presence had on your ability to do so. 

At first it was just one of her Wednesday interviews with Emma. Hearing both of them laugh and joke brought you back to the time you had a sleepover together while visiting Romania. It was comforting hearing her raspy voice coax you into a deep sleep. But it would always end too soon, just as you would start to drift off, they were saying goodbye and the video would end. 

So you’d search ‘Jenna Ortega Interview’, a hundred options popping up. You had your favorites and your least favorites. The ratings mostly consist of how much Jenna talked in them and the ones you knew she was excited to have done. 

One day after a week of not hearing Jenna’s voice from her phone calls you wanted your favorites to comfort you. But they were all scattered around, some from Wednesday press junket, Scream 6, her promoting her book, it was too many to just queue every time so you decided a playlist would be good. 

It’d keep everything together, no random videos to play afterwards, just all your favorite interviews in one place. You only did it as a convenience, not because you were desperate for her to be by your side, or anything. Just, supporting your girlfriend while she promoted her recent work. Plus you were tired, and fewer things to select so you could fall asleep to the sound of Jenna’s comforting voice was obviously the better option.

Maybe the playlist started to see the light of day however. Not only being played on your phone as it sat on the mattress next to you. But as the days went on you’d play it on the tv as you cooked, cleaned, or read a book. It basically became your favorite form of podcast without even being one. 

It started to become a routine, you’d come home from work, fix something to eat and watch a show you recently started, until you’d begin to miss her. Your fingers expertly pressing every button needed to enter YouTube and reach your playlist, as if it was second nature. 

It was one of those days, watching Jenna and Melissa die laughing at something Courtney said, the sound of keys unlocking your front door catching your attention. You perk up like a puppy hearing the bag of their favorite treats being opened. “Baby?” You hear the voice you’ve been wanting to hear for weeks and shoot up from your seat. 

Your socked feet against the hardwood making your trek to the door more uncoordinated than usual. “Hi, baby.” You say a little out of breath, a smile gracing both of your faces. “Hello.” She replies, cupping your face and pulling you down into a smiling kiss. You wrap your arms around her pulling her even more into you, your body buzzing with happiness. She sighs as she wraps her arms around your neck, tucking her head in the slope of your neck. 

“I didn’t know you’d be coming home so soon.” Not that you were complaining at all.

“We got a week off of filming and I wanted to see you.” Tightening her grip around your shoulder you feel her relax as you start to sway side to side. “I’ve missed you so much.”  You couldn’t be happier at hearing she felt the same. 

“I’ve missed you too.” Just as you couldn't feel any more at home, your heart sinks as you hear Jenna’s laugh, but it wasn’t coming from Jenna in your arms. No, it was Jenna prompting Scream months ago. You can’t believe you forgot to turn the tv to literally anything else. Jenna pulls away confused, you try pulling her back into you but she pulls away fully walking towards your shared living room. This is a great time to have the floor swallow you whole, you think. 

“Hey, why don’t we put your clothes up and get ready for bed. I’m sure you’re so tired and wanna sleep the rest of the day away. That sounds like a great plan, right?” Unfortunately, she continues on her way, towards the sound of her own voice. Your only comfort being the sly smile she gives you over her shoulder. She stops when she sees what’s on the tv and you sigh. You’ve been caught, and now you are gonna have to hide away for the rest of your life.  

“Did this just come on by itself?” You nod not making eye contact with her. “Yep, it just came on. I guess it got recommended after I watched the roundtable interview.” 

“Oh really?” You hum in agreement, your hands start to sweat as she looks back at you with a mischievous smile. “You didn’t just really miss me?” 

“You don’t even know.” That wasn’t suppose to come out, but it made her smile grow bigger. Her fingers reach out and grasp the hem of your shirt. Her smile and eyes softening at your admission, she pulls you in, her big brown eyes looking up at you takes your breath away for the millionth time. 

Your hand comes up and cradles her neck as your thumb rubs against her jaw bone. It’s quiet for a moment as you just take each other in. You lean down pressing your lips to hers. When you pull away her mischievous smile is back. “You missed me.” She singsongs, you lovingly roll your eyes. “Maybe a little.” 

She pulls you towards the couch, pushing on your chest until you fall into its pillows. “It’s very sweet that you watch my interviews but I can’t watch myself.” She says as she lays on top of you and reaches for the remote. You're so caught up in finally having her in your arms that you don’t realize what she's about to see. 

“You’re watching a playlist of my interviews?” She looks down at you, then back at the screen. “You made the playlist?” You groan, why didn’t you change the tv, why aren't the cushions swallowing you whole like you hope they would? Trying to hide your blush you hear Jenna giggle on top of you and her kissing your warm cheek. “Baby, you’re so cute. Do you know that?” 

“Shut up.” You mutter feeling even more flustered at her words and kiss. That makes her laugh more. You feel her hand slide up your body and find its resting place on your cheek. Pushing you to look at her, she smiles down at you. 

The overwhelming need to confess your feelings almost takes over but after a year of dating you wanted it to be her choice to say it without pressure. 

“I love you, Y/n. So much.” Relief and happiness floods through you, she said it and she meant it. She loves you. You can’t help but surge up, capturing her lips in a kiss, and confess the same sentiment you felt since you met her against her lips. 

“I love you too, J.”

extensive gig reports, Berlin 12.03.24 + Leipzig 13.03.24 💕

they got kinda long oops

Berlin

queue curse: missed jure walking by and nace and kris laughing at the queue for turning up the volume of cha cha cha because of looking for a public toilet and getting food respectively 🫠

jc stewart also walked by like four? times and people only started noticing around the third time or something, sorry jc stewart

bojan said that they love playing in smaller venues during soundcheck which made me laugh because of the downgraded berlin venue

kris ngvot but he looked so unenthusiastic about it and only did it after talking to bojan who I guess talked him into it? sorry kris, you were amazing though

bojan loved the shirt @zadig-fate made for him ❤️ he's such a nerd for being obsessed with eurotrip and was so excited to be like “this is a eurotrip quote!!!” lmao

bojan got a harmonica, said he couldn't play it, and then still played the wedding march on it because of course he was able to do that

bojan's slut leather(?) shirt 🫠 I hope damon suggested he should wear it because you could see his chest very well and he was moving so much and jfc

ended up on kris's side and since this was a no barrier stage he and his pants and ass were so close to me that I felt awkward directly looking at him 😭

jan just doing jan stuff. annoying jure and hitting his cymbals. casually sitting down onto the piano chair during umazane misli while continuing to play the guitar. this guy I swear

bojan got so emotional during EW that it actually made me emotional too. and the panic attack cheer 😂

the fact that the song can stay “schlager” for us german audiences and bojan yapping something about imagining that we're at an old people birthday party or something idk

the guys were very confused about the berlin flag 😂 jan was kinda holding it, very unsure, then went over to kiki, then went over to nace and they were just kind of. looking at the flag and then jan turned to kris and mouthed "berlin??" and kris signalled him a yes which was very funny

just. the vibes of the crowd. everyone was so respectful and we genuinely had an amazing energy. berlin crowd I love you so much

vita said they got the stage measurements beforehand and knew that racik's art wouldn't fit on the stage lmao. she's also super sweet and so easy to talk to. love u vita thanks for all the photos (selfishly glad she's pausing her studies for this)

hugged teya before she had to leave and didn't get to talk to nace and kris but managed to catch jan afterwards and had him sign in my gig book and it was? such a nice crowd? everyone was waiting and chatting for a bit and then when we were all finished jan was hovering there a bit awkwardly before saying bye and leaving. it was amazing and so chill (again. berlin crowd I love you.)

Leipzig

jure was walking by and we waved and a person turned around to see who we were waving at and let out a very loud “oh my god” after spotting jure. absolutely hilarious, we all burst out laughing

while the queue was being organised, kris, jc stewart with jure, vita, and nace behind them were walking down the street next to the queue and nace waved at us but no one paid attention (busy with the queue) so he kinda. stopped lmao

literally like ten minutes after that, jan seemed to try catching up to them but didn't know where to go so he just stared very intently at his phone and stopped in the middle of the street, turned left and walked right by us, then apparently went to far and had to turn back. top ten janči moments

kris walked into the soundcheck with a mug in his hand and left pretty quickly again after soundcheck was finished, he's just so funny to me

bojan said that it was a nice change that the EA crowd were mostly germans which like. ok.

the boys came down to us to talk and take pics with us after the soundcheck??? so nice of them but it confused the hell out of me (I wasn't prepared and was very intimidated by suddenly having a bojan directly in front of me)

a friend I was with asked bojan about the jo travel curse and munich because it's been horrible at least for us living in germany (snow chaos for munich, snow chaos when trying to travel to esns in january, train strike on the day of the berlin gig) and he just kinda forgot about munich until he was like “oh yeah right. it was still an amazing gig though.” 🥺

okay so. now we come to what was an absolutely insane concert

first we saw the eyeliner jure pic and went “oh my god??” and then he actually came on stage like that and we lost it. and then bojan came on stage with that lace shirt and we lost it again. not kidding when I say my favourite insane moment was me turning around to grip @itskrejsaitsparty's hand as I was trying to comprehend what I was seeing. Just. jfc.

bojan asked who had never been to a JO gig before and from what I could see it was around 50%? so there were a lot of new people which is probably also one reason why the energy was insane like that

bojan couldn't stop holding his belt and thrusting his hips, what the fuck 🫠

since I was in the middle I was also privvy to many cute jance looks and moments, they really are just like that on stage

the nace solo because someone requested a bass solo?? and how nace started and everyone joined and then bojan's “let's go nace” just. what even was happening at that point

everything surrounding metulji. first bojan giving jan that pic to “get him in the mood.” jan pretending to kiss it. it falling down making us all giggle and bojan already being on the brink of losing it and then losing it completely and jan stopping to just play different chords on the piano while bojan was trying to get it together. we really broke him 😭 and he was trying so hard to get back into the sad metulji mood and then he apologised for it afterwards like “i'm sorry this was so unprofessional of me” like dude. the was the best moment I've ever seen on stage

bojan was so keyed up that when kiki came to him to switch guitars he just bounced around him and started saying stuff to kiki and leaned his face towards him (I wouldn't be surprised if he expected another cheek kiss but shhhhh)

bojan AGAIN because he was jumping over the barrier and back on stage right next to me after umazane misli and I was like. what do I do. Do I, like, help him??? Can he do it by himself??? what if he topples over and I'm right next to him. Gah. In the end I just pressed myself back into @braveheart1418, stared at the back of bojan's lace shirt in slight horror and let Kiki do his thing 🫠 (I need a bojči break now I'm too anxious for any of this)

the gig went by so quickly because of all the stuff that happened that it was such a surprise when they said it was nearly over

I literally sank onto the floor after the gig because I couldn't understand what had just happened. so many memorable moments. I'm glad everyone just went down onto the floor with me, love you ❤️

everyone (except kris) came out to talk and take pics afterwards but bojan left quickly because of his health. and also, you know. damon baker. what a sweetheart. with all the stuff that happened, being able to talk to him about his art was such a lovely moment and I still can't believe that he was there

In the most funniest turn of events I managed to have everyone including damon baker sign in my gig book except for kris which is hilarious to me and so very fitting for him

I'm still trying process everything that happened but thank you so much to everyone I met and talked to and who made stuff for me, in particular @zadig-fate, @izpira-se-zlato, @braveheart1418, @esskuesli, @occhi-verdi-come-il-mare and @itskrejsaitsparty 💕💕💕

WWDITS KINK MEME

Why not start a revival? Send in your prompts!!

This is an experimental format, so hopefully it works out!

SUBMIT A KINK MEME

FAQ (also under cut for mobile users)

What is a kink meme? Basically a public (usually nsfw) prompt, popularized on Livejournal. One person will throw out an idea that they don’t or can’t fulfill themselves in the hopes that it will spark creativity in someone else! A kink meme can be as simple as pairing + trope, or a full well-thought-out AU!

How do I submit a kink meme? Use the ask button on this blog and it will go into the queue! You can submit anonymously (traditional), but it will be posted either way - make sure you click anonymous if you don’t want your face on it!

How do I fill a kink meme? Any way you like! You can write a fic directly in the reblogs, post it on another site and provide a link, or even post a 32 part series in the replies! We just ask that you link the prompt on your creative piece and/or reblog the submission with your piece included or linked (whichever applicable). If you are putting an explicit fill in reblogs, please remember to add a community label if the original post does not already have one!

Can I fill/submit an NSFW prompt if I am under 18? NO!!!!!!!! Doing so not only endangers you, but the adults in fandom, as well. We can’t stop you from seeking out certain content if you want to see it, but you should not be interacting directly with adults on sexual topics.

Can I fill a prompt with art? Absolutely! If your craft is drawing, painting, crocheting, stop-motion, needlepoint, cosplay, etc etc etc and you are inspired by a kink meme, we encourage you to participate! We also encourage adding alt text to any images.

What content do you allow in submissions? All kinks are welcome - yes, even that one. We will reject submissions that are not WWDITS-based, are hateful in some way, or appear to be submitted in bad faith. Venting, character-bashing, or incomprehensible prompts will be deleted. Transphobia, racism, homophobia, antisemitism, ableism, etc will get you blocked. Due to the limitations of the mods, we are currently only accepting submissions in English or Spanish.

How are kink memes tagged? Tags will include any and all pairings, kinks, applicable tropes, and potentially triggering content to the best of our ability. If we have missed something or you would like to request a certain trigger tag, send us an ask! We cannot guarantee that we will be able to tag for everything, however, and it is important to remember to protect yourself and your online experience. Submissions with explicit language will have community tags attached.

Can I submit SFW prompts? Of course! Despite the name, kink memes aren’t just for porn.

Can I submit prompts with characters from the WWDITS movie, too? Absolutely!

Can I submit prompts with my OC? No, but not because we don’t like your OC - we just don’t know them! These prompts are for someone else to fill, so it has to include characters they know.

Can I submit reader-insert or y/n prompts? Yes, as long as the other characters are from WWDITS!

Can I submit RPF prompts? No, as we prefer that this kink meme focus on the characters in the show rather than the actors who play them. However, celebrities who have appeared in the show as themselves count as characters and are fair game (within reason)!

Can I submit crossover prompts? Yes, under certain conditions. This is a WWDITS kink meme, and we want to ensure those characters have the spotlight! So if your prompt is mostly about the crossover property, or if the WWDITS character is simply one of a medley of different characters, it may be rejected. No Harry Potter, please.

Can I make my own kink meme for a different fandom using this blog as a template? Of course! We encourage this - please bring kink memes back to fandom!!

Who are the mods? Just some adult fans who long for the insanity that was LJ back in the day.

Mod the Impaler - they/them ModMilla - she/her

My trip is halfway over as of today; this afternoon I catch a train to Nice, and tomorrow I travel from Nice to Rome, where I'll be until I fly back to Chicago. (It is about 2:30am as I write this which isn't unusual for me; it'll be a long day today so I'll go back to sleep for a few hours when I'm done.)

I'm enjoying myself immensely overall, but I do miss home too. And I'm a bit shy of some things in France just because I don't speak the language; while Parisians have been by and large lovely, some have also been a trifle judgey. I think I'll feel more comfortable in Italy, but who knows. I have more meals out planned, anyway. Fried artichokes or bust.

Mostly I miss the cryptids. I keep having dreams where one of them is sleeping on my ankles like they both sometimes do. I was worried about Polk because the pet sitter hadn't seen much of her, but I looked in on them and managed to spot her. She seems fine -- I even saw her eating -- and Dearborn is her usual intense self.

[ID: left, Polk the tabby sits on the hallway carpet pointedly ignoring the camera; right, Dearborn the tortie sits in front of the bedroom camera, staring deep into its soul.]

Okay, time to stop staring at my brave babies through the webcams and get some more sleep. More pictures from the louvre are in queue for today, and I'll hopefully get to share some from the Musee l'Orangerie, where I have morning tickets before I leave for Nice this afternoon.

summary: when an accidental glance makes y/n's heart race, she's pushed to make a confession to her best friend, gilbert―who, surprisingly, seems open to a confidential agreement. word count: 1845

One glance. That was all it took. Y/n looked up momentarily from her slate, craned her neck ever so slightly to look beside her, and found a pair of hazel eyes already locked on her. In an instant she saw familiar freckles and curly dark hair, and an instant later they were gone. Gilbert's head snapped away the moment Y/n's eyes met his as he struggled desperately to look instantaneously busy in his studies, but Y/n's head stayed up, a crease forming between her brows as she gazed on, trying to work out why exactly Gilbert's eyes had been on her - and, even more, how long?

"Miss Y/l/n!" Mr. Philips snapped from his place at the desk. "Tear your eyes away from Mr. Blythe for once and focus."

A spattering of giggles from the girls and snickers from the boys coursed over the room. The only two who stayed truly silent were Gilbert and Y/n, who kept their eyes fixed intently on their respective slates so as not to draw any more attention to themselves - or to the other. Y/n's cheeks blazed red (as did Gilbert's although she was too afraid to look up and see it).

But it all begged the question, why? Gilbert and Y/n had been close friends from what seemed like the beginning of time. Well, perhaps friends wasn't the best way to describe how they started out. They began as all children do―by bothering each other. He'd pull her hair and she'd chase him around the schoolyard, throwing insults back and forth until they both ran out of breath. It happened so often that, at some point, they almost began to enjoy it. Soon enough they'd find themselves taking the same path to and from school. They'd use that time to bicker as well, not wanting to walk in awkward silence. Then, eventually, their bickering turned to casual conversation, then to enrapturing discussion about anything―reading, school, the goings on of Avonlea.

But they were friends. That was all. So why was Y/n blushing to high heaven over nothing but a momentary glance?

"Miss Y/l/n! Tear your eyes away from Mr. Blythe for once and focus." Y/n replayed the teacher's scolding again and again in her mind as she walked to town hall. Recently she'd been giving her time to help Miss Lind with the annual Christmas play she put on - with Gilbert. The two had long since grown out of participating, so they volunteered to help in other ways. Miss Lind had put Gilbert in charge of the lighting, seeing as he was the only one who could make sense of the queues and contraptions involved in the process. And Gilbert, quipping that he could only truly stand to be around her for hours at a time, elected Y/n to help him.

Until that day, Y/n had looked forward to rehearsal. But now she found her palms beginning to sweat as the town hall neared, despite the snow that was still surrounding her as she walked.

"Y/n!" Miss Lind exclaimed upon the girl's arrival. "Lovely to see you. Gilbert's already in the loft―go on up and see what you can do to help."

Miss Lind knew to phrase her request in such a way because it was common knowledge that Gilbert was the true brains behind the operation, and Y/n was his less knowledgeable but very teachable assistant. Y/n nodded at Miss Lind's request and left her to continue squawking at the young children singing a very off-key rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

Y/n climbed the familiar steps to the upper loft at the back end of the auditorium, feeling her heart race as she did so. She tried with all her might to scold it back to a normal rhythm, but it was no use. All the panic just wormed its way into her mind, her thoughts racing at speeds that were surely unnatural.

Gilbert was indeed already at the loft, close by the railing, tinkering with one of the stands as she tried to raise it a few inches. Y/n stepped quietly so as not to make her presence known immediately, hoping for a few extra seconds to plan how to address him (although she had never quite wondered such a thing before), but her heel brushed a paint can by the landing and caused a great scraping noise that in turn made Gilbert whip around in surprise.

Y/n pursed her lips. "Oops." she muttered.

She heard Gilbert laugh. "Could you stop knocking things over for a moment and help me?" he asked. "I can't quite figure out how this is supposed to work."

"Aren't you supposed to be the expert on lighting?" Y/n quipped, walking over and crouching to look at the light stand from below. "No, no you're doing it wrong―there's a fixture inside that needs to be turned, but it's locked. There should be something on here to unlock it..." she spoke, running her hands along the stand until her fingers grazed a notch. She seized it, pressing tightly until the button depressed, and there was a small click. Immediately the stand began to collapse into itself, lowering at a high speed. Gilbert and Y/n both reached out to stop it and found their hands on top of each other. At once the stand stopped its fall and came to halt, leaving both Gilbert and Y/n breathless.

There was a moment of silence as they both blinked at the stand, making sure it wouldn't fall. Then, Gilbert let out a breath, laughing slightly. "Now who's the expert?" he asked quietly.

Y/n smiled breathlessly back at him, now intently aware of Gilbert's hand atop hers. He froze as well, seemingly noticing the same thing. Y/n's breath hitched. In an instant she removed her hand from the stand and moved away to let Gilbert raise the stand himself. Y/n moved to stand by the railing and looked down upon the rehearsal on the stage. She picked at wood chips on the railing nervously, her hands growing cold.

Gilbert watched her for a moment as she did so before turning back away to fiddle with the light stand. Something gnawed at him as he did so, but he focused on the task ahead of him.

Y/n chewed on the inside of her cheek and fiddled with the railing. She couldn't do much about the lighting without Gilbert to instruct her―but she was dead set on not turning around and speaking to him unless absolutely necessary. And, right now, nothing seemed necessary. Not in the slightest.

Finally there was a sigh, and Gilbert moved to stand beside her, placing his own hands on the railing. "What?" he asked lowly.

Y/n didn't meet his eyes, but stared straight ahead of her. "What do you mean?"

"You seem upset." he said gently. "Anything I can do to help?"

Y/n almost laughed at that―Gilbert's not knowing that he was the root cause of all of her worries. "There's nothing you can do, Gilbert. Believe me." she said. "Unless you're up for murdering Mr. Philips?"

"Normally I would say yes, but today I'm feeling like an upstanding citizen. So I guess I'd say...make it look like an accident."

Y/n laughed this time, but a moment later she felt Gilbert take a step closer to her, and her heart beat resumed its incredible pace. She moved away to the other side of the loft almost immediately to try and lower the other stand to meet the other. Gilbert frowned as she moved away.

Y/n lowered the stand with a decisive press, making sure it was level with the one on the other side. Miss Lind was struggling to gather all the actors together on the stage to start from the top of the show, meaning that soon Y/n and Gilbert would be forced into silence as they focused on the show. For Y/n, that couldn't come soon enough.

The show began within the next several minutes, during which Y/n and Gilbert sat in uncomfortable silence as they shuffled around the loft, rearranging things and ensuring everything was in its correct place. Y/n set the light and left it, knowing that she needn't change it for the majority of the show. Gilbert set the other light as well and saw Y/n wander back to the railing, leaning against it and holding onto it so tightly that her knuckles turned white. He frowned.

In a moment, Y/n saw Gilbert lean backward onto the railing beside her out of the corner of her eye and stiffened, gritting her teeth. They stood there for a moment with Gilbert trying to figure out to phrase his approach and Y/n hoping against all hopes that he didn't try to say anything.

But, of course, he did. "I know something is wrong." he whispered.

"Shh," was all Y/n said in response, using the ongoing show in front of them as an excuse to shush him.

Gilbert's frown grew deeper, but he pushed on nonetheless. "Is this about earlier? Because what Mr. Philips said―"

"Shh," she said, more forcefully.

"Y/n." said Gilbert, taking her hand from the railing and holding it in his. Y/n looked down at it, her heart skipping a beat. Gilbert tried to meet her eyes, but she kept them craned down. "Y/n, look at me."

She bit her lip. How could she explain to Gilbert something she didn't fully understand herself?

Slowly, she looked up, worry knitting her brows together.

"Tell me what's wrong." Gilbert pleaded quietly. "Whatever it is, I want to help. I don't like it when...I don't like seeing you upset. So, come on. Talk."

Y/n, overcome with worry, looked away, fixing her eyes on the stage. She had a chance―a chance to do something that had the power to completely upend her and Gilbert's friendship. But she didn't think she could stand regret.

"I like you." Y/n mumbled.

Gilbert absently reached for Y/n's hand on the railing, a smile forming on his lips. Then, in one swift motion, Gilbert moved forward and pressed his lips on hers. Y/n, shocked, nearly jumped out of her skin. But, almost in an instant, she relaxed into his touch, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

But a moment later she pulled away, fear worming its way back into her mind. "Can we really do this? Nobody must know―"

Gilbert interrupted her by throwing his hands on her waist, pulling her in. "You and I know, and I think that's―that's more than enough, love."

Y/n smiled, the fear melting away as she looked at Gilbert.

"Hey!" came the shrill voice of Miss Lind. "That's the light cue! What's going on up there?"

"Nothing!" Gilbert and Y/n yelled in unison, scrambling back to their posts on the loft, hiding their smiles.

Author's Note: AHHHHHH MY FIRST FIC!! I've had this one in my head for a while now, but @urfriendlywriter 's prompts just really nailed it into my head that I needed to write it. I've been binging AWAE as school started and...I gotta say...I'm a sucker for dark hair and dark eyes. And the title, inspired by a Hozier song, just fits the vibe of the show so well I love it. But yeah! Enjoy my first fic and send in any and all requests you got!

ADULT!LOTTIE MATTHEWS X UPSET READER

summary: a new guy has joined the wellness centre and he’s a little too pushy with you…

pairing: adult!lottie matthews

format: headcanons

warnings: mentions of cannibalism, i can’t think of anything else so if i’ve missed one lmk!

lowercase intended! not proofread!

- okay so let’s say there’s a new guy who has joined the cult

- sorry the “intentional community” 🙄

- lottie is everywhere and nowhere at the same time, it’s very difficult to keep track of what she’s doing every day

- your job today was to clean out all of the animal… droppings

- yeah you were not happy about that

- after what felt like an eternity of endless shovelling you finally get a break

- lunch was your favourite time of the day because you knew you always got to see lottie

- every single day she made sure she sat down to have lunch with you

- she’s so cute i can’t

- being so overly eager to forget about what you’d spent your morning doing, you happened to be one of the first people ready for lunchtime

- the only other person in the queue of course, the new guy

- you shyly sneak up behind him trying your best to not alert him of your presence

- lottie had warned you the night before to keep your distance from him, refusing to repeat to you the inappropriate question he had asked her

- somehow you weren’t quiet enough, he turns around and gasps at the sight of who is queued up behind him

- he immediately starts berating you with questions and with showing his admiration of you and what you had to do to survive out in the wilderness

- you mostly just hum to what he’s saying, turning to look over you shoulders every few seconds to see if you could spot lottie somewhere

- “are you even listening to me??” he shouts, causing you to snap your head back

- “no” LMAO

- he then turns to insulting you

- thankfully as he does you can see lottie, graciously making her way through the now forming crowd

- lottie shoots you a look of concern, immediately being able to tell that something is wrong with you

- just as she gets closer to you and is about to say something, the guy who still hasn’t left you alone takes it a little bit too far

- “bet you’re not used to all this food they serve at lunch huh? how is it compared to human flesh?”

- silence fills the lunch hall.

- without even thinking you take off running

- lottie would LOSE IT

- she doesn’t lose her temper a lot but man is it scary when she does

- thankfully that guy is never seen again, lottie refusing him service and ordering lisa and a few others to drop him outside the gate with nothing

- she finds you sat alone in the sharing shack, quietly crying to yourself

- she’d come and sit opposite you and take your hands in her own

- “talk to me love, tell me how you’re feeling. we are in the sharing shack after all” she’d chuckle softly

- she just lets you vent to her, you tell her about everything you remember, everything you wished you could forget

- she’s so understanding

- when you really start to get worked up she gently lays you down in her lap, massaging your head and reassuring you that you will always be safe with her

- she would so cancel everything else she had to do that day and spend the rest of it with you caring for you

- if for some reason she couldn’t then she’d honestly allow you to have your phone so you could distract yourself

- “but that’s against the rules”

- “they’re my rules darling”

a/n: this is my first time trying to write for the adult version of any of the characters so i’m sorry if it’s not good! also i listened to ‘i know you’ by faye webster when i wrote these and i genuinely started crying LMAO

[fictionalmenxyn]

School Day,

Tw: attempted bullying (it’s not rlly a tw but I’ve added it just in case). And possibly mentions of inappropriate behaviour (it’s not that bad). Also a fight mentions of blood. That’s all

Platonic Task Force 141 x Y/n. Ages: all 15

B/n- bullies name (didn’t want to put a real name just in case it was urs)

Also the sport rounders is mentioned, if you don’t know it’s basically how I explain it is a British version of baseball. The difference is maybe some rules but instead they have sticks you tap instead of plates on the floor. Also you run on the inside (I think).

—————————————————————

Anyways… story time!

Getting ready, you grabbed your bag and quickly shoved your book into your vans bag. Hearing the multiple knocks at the door, you shouted “I’m coming!” Running downstairs you shouted “by mum!” Hearing her shout goodbye you opened the door. Seeing three of your best mates whom of which were Simon, John and Kyle. You smiled and said “let’s go” closing the door behind you , you all headed towards the bus stop.

But before you were going to wait for the bus you four headed towards the shop which was across the road. You all walked in and started to grab some snacks to last you the school day.

Once you all payed for your food you all headed and had waited for your bus to arrive.

Once at school, you walked with the boys towards the hall. As you were walking you was talking to Johnny about the art you both shear today. You asked “do you recon she is in?” Johnny nodded “yeah, most likely anyway” you nodded.

Walking into the hall you spotted the rest of your friendship group. They were Rudy, Alejandro and König.

Walking over and taking a seat, you sat next to König and Gaz. You all started up a conversation in no time. But the bell had caused the conversation to end. Grabbing your bag you all headed towards your registration classrooms.

After registration, you headed towards your first lesson, English. Walking over you noticed some of your classmates standing outside. You asked “is the door locked?” One of the girls said “yeah and the lights are off” you nodded and stood with them making small conversations.

Feeling a tap on your shoulder, you turned around and saw Kyle. You smiled and asked “what took you so long?” He said “went on a walk, besides I’m not late, am I?” You shook your head and stood next to him as you saw your teacher approaching. Kyle watched as miss started to unlock the door and he jokingly said “that’s a detention I recon, miss. You were six minutes late” she laughed and said “yeah yeah, come on take a seat” she opened the door and moved to the side letting you all into class.

Sometime later, it so happened to be break time. You walked with Kyle and Rudy as you entered the hall. Rudy headed towards the usual spot while you and Kyle headed towards the rather small queue.

Waiting in line, you asked “so you coming out later?” Kyle said “of course, heard we are going by the lake. Simon said him and Johnny are bringing their fishing gear” you nodded and said “yeah, I’m bringing snacks, mostly for me but I guess I can shear” you felt Kyle playfully nudging you as you both laughed.

You heard a voice from behind you say “she’s a right pick me, you know? She only bothers with boys because she thinks they fancy her.” Another voice said “yeah, I mean come on for a girl ugly like her I’m surprised they are even her friend” you raised and eyebrow and Kyle caught on and whispered “wonder who they are on about” then you both heard “yeah like Y/n thinks she is everything, like she needs to chill out” yours and Kyle’s mouths fell open. You turned around and said “excuse me?” The one girl said “just speaking facts, babe” you said “don’t babe me, cause if there is anything you should worry about is my fists connecting to your face.” The two girls scoffed.

After the small argument, you and Kyle headed over to the usual table with your food in hand. Sitting down you said “I don’t understand, am I a issue? She really needs to double check herself before she can call anyone else a pick me” Johnny asked “what’s gone on?” You explained “that blimming B/n, she had the nerve to talk about me calling me pick me and what not. Said ‘she thinks she’s everything when she’s not’ and ‘she only bothers with boys cuz she thinks they fancy her’ she can run her mouth but I swear one more bad thing about me coming out of her dirty gob I swear!” You huffed taking a rather aggressive bite out of your cheese on toast. Simon asked “why has she said that?” You shrugged and as if on cue she walked over and said “hello boys and it” you said “don’t start” she rolled her eyes and looked at Simon. She asked “doing anything after school” you mumbled “he ain’t doing you that’s for sure” she shot daggers at you. Simon said “why?” She asked “maybe you could come over mine and we could have some fun” sending a wink in his direction. He and you shivered at an attempt to get Simon in her bed. Simon said “no, don’t think so” she huffed and pointed at you “it’s because of you that is!” She seethed. You rolled your eyes, watching her leave you chuckled at the girl.

Now it being fourth lesson, you have P.E aka one of yours and the boys favourite subjects. As you all are quite athletic and plan on going to the army (what a coincidence😉).

As you were getting changed, you heard one of your friends say “we are doing rounders” some girls sighed massively at the announcement. You smirked, knowing it was one of your key sports. Grabbing a bobble and throwing your hair up into a pony tail, you left the changing rooms and went to the dance studio where everyone is waiting.

As the teachers did the registrar, you sat there talking to König.

Now on the felid, you had been split into teams. The teachers picked so you had no choice, but it must of been a lucky day when you have Johnny, Kyle, Simon and König on your team. Alejandro and Rudy weren’t in your pe as they were in a different band (year group had been split into two you lot are band B and the other two are band A).

Grabbing the bat you waited for the ball, as you watched the ball come your way you hugged it as hard as possible with your bat. Sending it flying, you had started your team off to a good start.

After switching from batters to fielders, it was now the final round. Which team was going to win? Grabbing the bat Kyle got ready to swing the bat and hope for the best. As he did it went further than expected. Running round the posts he managed to get to third base. Then it was Simon’s turn and eventually came to you. The last bat of the game, you got ready. Hearing the boys and girls on your team cheering you on it felt like you were a professional. Hitting the ball, you made a b line towards all the posts. Once you made it back to batting area you fisted the air. Winning another few points for the team. Ending up winning the game. You all cheered and headed back to the changing rooms.

Now getting changed ready for lunch, you heard your name being talking about “Y/n definitely cheated” you turned around as you put your tie back on and asked “how? Exactly?” She said “cause you did, you definitely cheated” you said “well that wasn’t an actual answer” she said “well yeah, it was” you said “how did I cheat then?” She only just looked you up and down. You said “you only think I cheated because I actually tried. Maybe try and attempt it next time?” She scoffed and said “why should I?” You said “maybe you can find something you are good at and enjoy it. I only enjoy sports because it keeps me physically fit and that will help me get into the army.” The girl and her friend laughed, the other girl said “really? The army? You won’t last two seconds” you said “I’ll last longer that the both of you combined, it runs through the family. Besides you two can’t even take care of yourselves.”

The girls laughed and the one girl said “didn’t last long though did it? Especially didn’t last long with your fath-” before she finished your sentence you said “at least he can do good for others. He served for this country and served for the people. And sadly served for the people like your parents.” She charged at you, you simply grabbed her shoulders and placed a leg behind her and shoved her. So you both looked like dancers as you leaned her on your leg. You seethed “don’t you dare try it on me. I may not be in the army yet, but I can sure fight like a solider” you let go of her and left the changing rooms.

You held back some tears as you subtly stormed out of the pe hall. The boys waited outside for you. Johnny asked “what took you so long?” You kept your head down and said “nothing, come on let’s go” Simon noticed a change in you, so he asked “what happened?” You muttered “nothing, don’t worry” he remarked “but we will, come on” you finally admitted “fine, those girls were saying I cheated but then I said I enjoyed sports cause of the fact I wanna go into the army. Then they made fun of my dad and then she lashed at me cause I said how he served for people like her parents.” Simon nodded and pulled you into a hug. Walking past said girls looked you up and down as they saw Simon pulling you into a hug. Johnny returned the dirty look and said “you’ve got a nerve” the girls looked away as Johnny turned back to see you.

Now it being lunch time the boys made sure to keep you smiling and laughing. Kyle felt heart broken for you, as his dad serves for the military now, Captain John Price. You looked up at König as he tapped your shoulder. He asked “would maus like a chocolate cupcake?” You smiled and said “do you mind?” He shook his head and spoke “I made lots with my mother yesterday” you were handed the small cupcake and thanked König.

After hearing the bell ring for the day, you grabbed your bag and headed towards the bus with Johnny. You said “so are you still bringing your fishing gear?” He said “yeah, you can have a go if ya want. We can teach you” you asked “what really?” He nodded and said “of course.”

Now walking in the bus you headed towards the back of the bus. Sitting down next to Simon and Kyle you said “are we bringing the fish home?” Simon said “if we catch a big one we could bring it back and cook it” you laughed at the idea of you lot trying to cook a fish without even knowing how to cook.

As the bud was brought to a stop, you all started to walk towards the front and get off. Once you hopped down from the last step you waited for the rest to get off. Once everyone was together you heard your name be called “Y/n!.”

You turned around to be met with a punch to the face. Feeling blood trickling down your nose you got your hands up and got ready for a fight. She shouted “yeah! I saw you hugging Simon! I wanted him you know! But no Y/n the pick me girl stole him!” You said “I’m not with him like that. We are friends” she snarled “then why were you hugging him then?” You said “cause of you, you bringing up my father when it wasn’t needed.” She just laughed, you felt another punch from the back of your head. Touring to see the other girl, she said in a mocking tone “doing to tell your daddy on us? Oh wait, he isn’t alive!”

That was your last straw, you punched the girl straight in the face. She started crying and back away. You turned to the other girl how tried to punch you again, but you quickly dodge and followed it with a punch. You then kneed her in the stomach and gave her an uppercut. She quickly punched you and making it land. You felt a small burning sensation on your face. You punched her a few more times and then she said “get the hell away from me!” Which being an actual decent person you did back away.

Turning to the boys, they stood there in awe of you and also shocked that you had just fought two people but you would argue you only actual fought one. Simon said “you have a cut on your face” you said “oh it’s fine, come on. We can go to mine so I can get cleaned up then we can go out” they all nodded and you all walked to your house.

What an eventful day you had, eh?

Hope you enjoyed!

Make sure to ask/message me if you want

Hope you have a good day/night!🫶

Press Play - A "Kissing You" Drabble

Pairing: Frankie Morales & f!reader

Warnings: Sharing of insecurities, blink and you miss it possessive Frankie. Truly this is just a boat load of fluff.

Word Count: 1k

Prompt #62 : Caressing your lover’s cheek

a/n: Not SPECIFICALLY saying that the show mentioned in this is TLOU, but if I happen to reference a highly anticipated show premiering at 9PM with an unnamed actor on the same day that TLOU premieres, then it's just COINCIDENCE. Mostly though this is just a self indulgent piece because I am lucky enough to have friends that put up with my shit but I still question it all the time and I'm so glad I found this community that is equally obsessed and where everything goes. I love y'all. Happy TLOU Day!

Masterlist | Previous Drabble | Next Drabble

You’ve spent two years waiting for this day. 

When it had initially been announced that your all time favorite actor would be headlining one of the most anticipated shows of the year, you’d been excited. When the first pictures from the set appeared, just pixels really, your excitement had grown to a frenzy. And now? As you scrolled again through Twitter looking at the red carpet interviews and press releases and the first of the reviews as you waited for the premiere itself? Near hysteria.

You’re sitting on the couch, snuggled beneath the blanket, your filled water bottle and a bag of peanut butter M&Ms sitting on the table in front of you. A specifically purchased box of tissues sits next to them - Puffs, without lotion because no one wants lotion in their eyes when they’re already crying. The apartment smells like popcorn, and when Frankie appears a moment later, bowl in hand, he’s quick to settle in next to you, pulling the blanket over both of your laps. 

“Are you ready?” he asks playfully, throwing an arm around your shoulder. You lean into his embrace instinctively, nerves rolling through your belly. It’s a weird mix - anticipation and nervousness because what if it isn’t as good as you hoped.

You check your phone again, just to make sure it isn’t time yet. Five minutes. “I don’t know if I’ll ever truly be ready for this,” you laugh lightly, “but I’m sure everyone else is ready for me to stop talking about it."

Frankie’s head tilts slightly in confusion, eyebrows furrowing as you turn away from him. You queue up the appropriate streaming service in preparation, avoiding his gaze the same way you hope to avoid the conversation you know is now coming. With his free hand, he reaches to cup your cheek, caressing it as he encourages you to look at him. “What do you mean?” 

“I don’t know, it’s just…” you start, struggling to find the right way to answer his question. It’s always been painfully obvious to you that those around you are quick to be annoyed by your obsessions. It comes across as a bit manic, and to the average outsider who couldn’t care less about most of your hyperfixations, you know it can be a bit much. “Sometimes I just feel like I bombard people with constant chatter about things they probably don’t care about. Or I feel guilty because I’m basically forcing you to like the things I like without ever stopping to ask if you actually want to watch the things I do.” 

You throw your arms against your lap in frustration as if to emphasize your point. The show hasn’t even started yet and you can feel the tears forming in your eyes, a fact that Frankie doesn’t miss as he runs his thumb over your cheekbone to catch them as they fall.

“Querida,” he starts, voice gentle and soothing, “you know I’m not picky about what we watch, and you do not bombard people any more than they bombard you.”

You choke on a sob as you try to respond, “yeah, but no one really cares.” Your brain reminds you that time is still ticking, and you cough as you reach for your phone, checking the time again only for it to remind you that there’s still three minutes left. “Everyone just thinks I’m ridiculous.” 

Suddenly Frankie is holding your face with both of his hands. “You are not ridiculous,” he states sternly, and you’re looking at him now, your eyes locked on his at the seriousness of his voice. “Seeing you light up about something you’re excited about is the most beautiful thing on this planet, and if others can’t appreciate that then fuck them. And I don’t care what it is you’re excited about, even if it’s not something I understand or would ever watch on my own, because all I care about is that you’re happy. Hell, you listen to me talk about flying all day long and you never complain.” 

You shake as your breath leaves your body in quick huffs, and you reach up to hold your hands over his, keeping them firmly locked in place as you lean your head into one of them. “That's different," you insist. "You literally fly helicopters and that’s fucking amazing. This is just a dumb show that happens to star an actor I really like.”

“It is not a dumb show,” he repeats back to you with emphasis. “It’s the biggest fucking show of the year!” That gets you to laugh, and you turn your head slightly to press a kiss to the pad of his thumb. “Sweetheart, believe me when I tell you that I always want you to share your passions with me, because if others can’t appreciate them the way I do, then that’s their loss. So let me ask you again. Are you ready for this?” 

A smile forms on your lips as the excitement takes over in your mind once more, “I’m ready.” 

“Good, because there’s only a minute left.” A glance at the clock on the wall confirms his statement, and he presses a quick kiss to your lips before pulling you against him, settling you so your back is against his firm chest, arms wrapping around your waist. His head rests on your shoulder as you pick up the remote, eager to press play the second the clock strikes nine. 

“And you promise you’re not jealous of my obvious infatuation with a certain actor?” you ask as the last seconds tick down.

His lips ghost behind your ear as he whispers his response. “Never, because only I get to hold you like this. And later?” he continues, tone becoming more possessive, “I’m going to carry you into our bedroom and my name will be the only one on your lips.” It’s a promise you know he’ll keep, and a shiver runs down your spine at the thought. “Now, you’d better hit play before I do it for you, because I can’t wait for this fucking show.”

[toomuchracket]

given recent events I’ve been thinking about a little city day out with matty just walking around holding hands, bumping into friends, him buying me whatever I want…

i miss birthday party matty so i'm making this about him lol. somehow, miraculously, work has taken you both to nyc at the same time; matty for recording and some press, you also for press and meetings and publishing negotiations. you stay in the same hotel because why wouldn't you, when you're in the same city for the same period of time, and it's actually quite domestic because even though you're thousands of miles from home you're still waking up together and showering and getting ready together and having breakfast and kissing each other goodbye when you leave for work. anyway, your final day in nyc is a free day for matty and a mostly free day for you - you have an early little press event/talk to do with an award you've been nominated for, which matty goes along with you to (the interviewer says something like "a lot of your new nonfiction seems to have more of a focus on love and romance than your previous writing" and you look at matty and smile like "yeahhhhhh that's someone else's influence" and his heart genuinely flutters lol), and then you just spend the day having a wander. in my mind, it's quite a crisp autumn morning (i'm rewatching gilmore girls again can u tell), and matty's doing cute shit like holding your cheeks in his hands and kissing your nose to warm them both up, and wrapping you into his coat while you queue for coffee; he holds his coffee in one hand and your hand in the other as you walk down the street, and does his usual thing of kissing you while you wait for the crosswalks (look at me using americanisms!!) to tell you to move. and you just spend the day slowly, dipping in and out of various bookshops and record shops and clothes shops, where matty (still on a high from your little interview moment earlier and even more putty in your hands than usual) says quite seriously "i will literally buy you whatever you want as long as you can fit it in your suitcase for going home"; you're like "baby it's ok lol i didn't really intend on buying anything", and matty hugs you tightly and kisses all over your face like "let me treat you! let me love you!", and you giggle like "you do already! but if you insist" and pick out some little bits to take home with you. he also carries your bags because he's cute like that, and does the cheesy little hand-in-back-pocket move while you walk so he can squeeze your bum - you roll your eyes at him when he does, he gives you a shit-eating grin in return, and then you both giggle and matty pushes you into him so he can kiss you again. later, maybe you run into jack and margaret and end up going for dinner with them, and seeing them in their newlywed bliss phase makes matty so delulu about marrying you (he is counting the days until the wedding. they are in the hundreds. but still), then you just head back to the hotel and share a bottle of wine and a bubble bath and... well, you know the rest. but it's lovely, the whole day <3

Weekend Update 05/12/2024

I’m back! Two weeks in a row!

Very good Nerdie. We appreciate this. We’ve been keeping tabs and you’ve been busy this week.

I did dabble in a few things this week.

A new discord server started by myself and my friend fhatbhabie for Latinx/Black/POC Pedro stans. It’s one of those things where I shouldn't have been as surprised by the overwhelming support for it as I was. It’s actually been pretty awesome and I’ve had very thoughtful DMs. The name of the server is Unhinged Clubhouse.

I wrote my first mostly smut fic in a while with Dave York. Trule wasn’t expecting him of all Pedro characters but, the smut fairy does what she wants, when she wants and I just gotta roll with it. It was another entry for Jett’s Flora & Fauna Challenge. 

Going through my inbox - mostly caught up but still a few outstanding replied to be made. Sorry about that.

Lastly, working on WIPs and deciding in addition to working more on Weddings 101 with Dieter, which other series I’ve been working on did I want to pop out there? Frankie and Ezra’s series are finished and I think I might wrap up the on Din series in the next part or two. The other Din series I have to workshop a bit. I have ideas of who I want to pop up next from Star Wars, I just need to work it in. 

Also Weddings Dieter: Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow and cheese? How do we feel about this? I also could use some help in deciding between the following for my next series: Marcus Pike vs. hot dogs + therapy, me finally writing nice things for Javi P, Dieter + brick house + you and a baby, and Pero Tovar + Dragon for revenge? 

Lastly, does anyone have some prompts for nipples? It sounds weird, but consider, this is me. Also with @mysterious-moonstruck-musings influence, I have a weird bullet point list and made a horrible drawing. I just need to write something so it will leave my mind. I hope. 

Side note: Nerdie now has reblogs queued up to July 21st. The queue shall know no rest! 😎

Nerdie, like are you sure there’s no recreational use of anything? Like really sure?

Nah, these ideas are all from a sober mind. And I shudder to think what I would be like if I did, so I don’t partake. Mainly because I’m a scaredy cat and also my alcohol tolerance is low. Plus I like mixed drinks. 🤭

Now it’s time for everyone’s favorite part:

we now also have two spotify playlists!

this first one is for songs that i could find exact matches for. there should only be original vocaloid songs in there, but this does mean that it's missing a good chunk of songs.

this second one is identical to the first one, except i put in the closest match to the missing vocaloid songs that i could find. for instance, since i couldn't find an exact match of "game of life" sung by hatsune miku, i put in a cover sung by sick2. the first playlist doesn't have "game of life" at all, unfortunately, because as far as i can tell it's not on spotify.

unfortunately both playlists are missing 60+ songs because they're either exclusive to youtube or i wasn't able to find it on spotify. if you see a song is missing on there that you know is on spotify, please let me know so i can add it to the playlists!

thanks for the support, y'all! <3

Actually I don't think I'm gonna publish that post afterall, half cuz I don't wanna rewrite it and half cuz judging by the posts I've seen a lot of people have already said what I was going to anyway- so here's a condensed version- and this is mostly just me getting some stuff out of my system tbh lol

I still really do not get why the server didn't close down for longer/do a hiatus, it just genuinely seemed like the most logical solution from every angle: a financial one, a burn-out one, a reconstruction one, and to strengthen credibility and trust- instead they just kept things going again as soon as they could and it just felt so careless and so cruel to the employees who'd been let go with no explanation or those left in limbo unsure if they still even had a job or not. It also was just not fun at all watching a server that felt like a soulless zombie-shell of it's former self.

I get needing to let go of the egg admins- I'd much rather say goodbye then have them strung along underpaid/not paid at all solely because fan loves them and they rake in views.

That said I wish the goodbye streams were better planned and it's a bitter feeling knowing some of the eggs won't ever get to say goodbye

Somewhat related to above, what Cherry (Em's admin) said on stream REALLY does not give me any hope that this new team will be any better then the last- At the very least I'm glad Cherry has the other former admins and Bagi there to support her.

same goes for the twitter translators who were canned and replaced with AI- like I can get those teams being cut because those roles were imo a LOT to ask out of an employee and not sustainable- it's the way they went about it that leaves an extremely sour taste in my mouth and makes me worry that there could be more fired employees who were treated similarly.

I still really do not know how to feel about the reset especially since we don't know anything about it- Common thought seems to be it is happening on the 24th which like...first of all why is this happening so soon why are you so obsessed with rushing back into things stop it- second of all... I just don't know if I feel comfortable sticking around for it cuz like I said above right now I don't feel like I can trust this new team not to repeat the same shit the past one did (and I'll most likely miss it anyway since I work that day of fucking course LOL)

I don't hate this project, I don't want to root for it's failure, I don't want it all to fall apart- I wanted it to get better- I'm critical of it because I wanted it to be better for everyone. I'm beyond devastated with how this turned out, all the wasted potential from every angle just eats me up inside, I truly thought things were going to get better. A naive hurt part of me is always gonna wish that things do get better and maybe somehow the stories I loved so dearly will somehow come back... but that is such copium lmao

I'm probably still gonna lurk around because I love the community on here and because I am morbidly curious to see what they're gonna do with this project next... I don't think I'll watch personally, but I'll keep up with the liveblogs. I stopped my queue awhile back cuz I felt so bad about the server and everything, but I'm gonna reopen it soon. Even though I still feel too bitter rn to look back on it all fondly I still want to support a talented resilient community that deserved better.

I wish I could feel better about it all, but I'm not gonna waste time getting my hopes up.

[gallavichmeta]

Hi everyone! I’m really enjoying running this blog and reading all your Gallavich and Shameless meta. However, it can be kinda time consuming because I like to read everything I reblog and going forward, I probably won’t have as much time as I’d like so this blog will mostly be on a queue. And the queue will mostly be Gallavich related.

I have said that this blog is open to meta about all the characters in Shameless, and it still is, but if I’m being realistic at the moment I just don’t have the time to read all the interesting meta about all the other characters that is currently being shared or take a deep dive to find older posts (of which I’m sure there are many - I’ve found so many interesting older posts when looking for Gallavich meta, so I’m sure there’s a wealth of posts about all the Shameless characters)

So, I’d like to put a suggestion out there - a Shameless meta blog that focuses on all the characters of the show (there is one but it hasn’t been active in years). There’s a lot of really thought-provoking stuff being shared and I think it would be so cool if there was a blog that could reblog all of this in one place. I know I don’t always have time to check every single character tag and I’m sure it’s the same for others, so it’s very easy to miss stuff but if there was a blog just for meta, perhaps more people would have a chance of seeing stuff?

I wish I had time to do it myself but I don’t so I’m putting this suggestion out there in case there’s someone who likes the idea and has the time to do it. 💖

(If anyone has questions about how I run this blog, please feel free to ask!)
