Barty and Evan were 14 years old
“Are you ready?” Barty hesitantly asked.
“Are you?” Evan countered in a tone that lacked as much certainty as Barty’s.
“Fuck it. Let’s get this over with.”
They looked at each other once last time as they walked through the doors that were sure to change everything: High School.
Then, Barty and Evan were 18 years old
“Are you ready?” Barty asked, a little eager this time.
“Are you?” Evan replied with a smirk.
“Fuck it. Let’s get this over with.”
Once again, they looked at each other once last time as they walked through new doors: College.
And then, Barty and Evan were 27 years old
“Are you ready?” Barty asked, excitement all over his body.
“Are you?” Evan replied with something reserved only for Barty: tenderness.
“Fuck it. Let’s get this over with.”
They looked at each other again, as they had been doing all their lives. Two boys that grew up with nothing to care for but each other. They were on the other side of a new door, placing a ring in each other’s fingers. A forever.

Omg yes! I don't understand why this rl has so many people so enamored and jumping ship so quick. He doesn't treat buck any better than TK did(they don't even have the "built up" og BT had!) I don't want to invalidate anyone's Fandom choices but you wouldn't catch me dead shipping them in any way, I actually want better for Buck
Right?! It's wild! Like, I tried when watching s4 to stay neutral on tay kay because of course the misogyny accusations were getting thrown around, and I GENUINELY, hand to god, thought every scene of her being mean to Buck was proof they were not going to get together because it was SO CLEAR how awful she was to him, but hey, that's on me for expecting a satisfying narrative from a tv show. You would think RNM had taught me better. But it had been a hot minute since I had seen s2 and I immediately was reminded that no, it's okay to be a hater and to think it makes zero sense to put someone like that with Buck (making HIM look bad for even wanting anything to do with her after nearly getting Bobby killed). And then to not even lean into the drama of the firefam calling out her shitty behavior, or noticing Buck looked fucking miserable, or even letting Athena be petty about letting that woman into her and Bobby's home?! To not even allow Buck to be pissed for the breakup and let it end amicably?? To turn him into a cheater?! Jail.
ANYWAY
Evan Buckley deserves better and HAS better in his life already. Let's goooooo Timmy! We're burning daylight!

Fun with lifeless NPCs - a collection
First up, the cuddle picture that Nico made me show around at book fair last year
The sequel
The love interest meeting the Prophetess's family (excluding Daddy because Daddy sucks is too busy demanding a nice crisp piece of meat)
Some ... erotic ... implications
The aftermath of The Incident when Loreena got bored waiting for the Father
And of course we can't forget Mithy

I love homophobic sam i wish i met sam at stanford in 2004 and was his first exposure to a gay man and hed be weirdly obsessed with me cus he likes men too but has such a narrow view of gay ppl that he doesnt realise it yet so instead hed just ask well meaning but still rly invasive offensive questions like "do your parents still love you?" "do you think god is okay with your lifestyle?" and "so who sticks what in where?"

another note re: the full chronological summer stock song list, being:
"Get Happy," "Happy Days Are Here Again/I Want to Be Happy," "Accentuate the Positive," "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows," "Always," "Always (reprise)," "It's Only a Paper Moon," "The Best Things in Life Are Free," "Dig for Your Dinner," "Me and My Shadow," "Howdy Neighbor, Happy Harvest," "Red Hot Mama," " 'Til We Meet Again," "You Wonderful You," "June Night," "Some of These Days," "Joe's Dance," "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows (reprise)," "It All Depends on You," "Always (reprise)," "Everybody Step," "Lucky Day," "How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm," "Hinky-Dinky Parlez Vouz," "It Had to Be You," "Get Happy (reprise)" and "You Wonderful You (Finale)"
with the general reference point that "june night" is the first post-intermission act two song, sure Looking at that act two's second "always (reprise)"....that first Always/reprise combo being the introductory wingates scene that we now know is where mrs. margaret widow "orville's mom" wingate is Already just pushing orville at jane to marry so that she can have the falbury farm & in turn that whole swatch of land, with no doughnut hole of someone else's farm in the middle, and we know that this is pretty transparent and just placed there before jane decides to agree to the "theatre troupe as farmhands" (and eventual theatre show as farm-saving fundraiser) as this like motivating push when nobody's really enthused about being pushed into marriages or having to sell their farm or lose it or anything but also nobody sees a world of other options, so the antics of dealing with productions in your barn is more appealing
all as leadup like, but for real if the first "always (reprise)" is a proposal push / orchestration, (and if "'til we meet again," a song that's pretty much its own marriage proposal, features orville/phil moments & literal orchestrations....) and the piano orville/phil duet is somewhere in act two, probably preceding a [Rehearsals] sequence, just sure going "omg. what if" like sure maybe mrs. margaret widow wingate gets that Reprise, but the other most likely candidate is orville, and hand on forehead "orvphil real" shirt on torso like omg the potential power of that, presuming it has a more Genuine invocation in one way or another in act two......but fr it might be like, a twist like "always (reprise) (even more openly: A Threat)" from margaret wingate gearing up for one more Stop The Show maneuver. still fun to imagine like goodspeed post these clips of everyone's favorite intense professional possible romance pleeease thank you
