[not-me-simping-for-blasty]

another helping of living w/ bakugou thoughts:

pls i am so sorry, i feel like i bombard y’all with these constantly, but u don’t understand, he literally lives in my brain full time

- if you’re rolling your sleeves up, to wash your hands before dinner, he’ll whack your hands away and do it himself. very much “you’re takin’ too long, idiot. i wanna eat already. let me do it.”,, don’t be fooled tho, you could do it in 2.5 seconds and he’d still open his mouth. bc it has absolutely nothing to do with u and everything to do with him wanting to be close to you

-ik he watches the mha equivalent of the history channel. i just know it. dude is a grandpa at heart, n im so confident he would 100% sit down and watch a 3 hr docu on like, old weaponry or some nerdy shit

-bakugou is annoyingly arrogant, but only about things that don’t matter. like, he’ll fully sit in front of you and tell you he’s stronger/faster/smarter in passing conversation,, but when he does actually impressive shit??? the man clams up. absolutely clams up the second you praise him, trying to brush off whatever ridiculous feat he just pulled to protect u with a “It’s not that big a deal, shut up about it already, dumbass.” 

- pls mans is an absolute simp. u ask him to do something and he’s on his feet in a second. ofc he’s complaining but he’s also then following that up by doing things you didn’t even ask him to do. fan behavior honestly.

-when you’ve had a bad day, he’ll make u food and throw blankets in the dryer for u. don’t expect much verbal comforting from him, bc obviously, but he’s pretty good with actions. you always feel a little warmer after he’s wrapped you in a blanket n fed you something ungodly spicy

- i have absolutely no basis for this but ik he secretly watches kids movies. like, if it’s animated then he’s there. ofc no one is allowed to find out about this ‘embarrassing’ behavior tho, except maybe you. maybe. if you accidentally happen to see it bc he’d never tell u himself.

- he’s a beast to wake up in the morning, but he’s a lot more easy to convince if u pet his hair. or rub his back/shoulders. maybe even kiss his neck. look, u cannot tell me that he doesn’t want to be absolutely coddled in the morning- especially when he can get away with it so easily. 

-bakugou always pulls ur legs into his lap if u sit down next to him. pls he’s so weird, he’ll just like, tap his fingers on ur calves absentmindedly while he’s watching tv

-he probably created a playlist of songs ur ‘allowed’ to play around him. meaning, it’s only the songs on ur phone that he likes 🙄

-bakugou always takes his work phone calls outside. like if his phone rings he’ll just stand up n walk tf out the door to take it. even if it’s cold. u ask him once about it n he just “Work stays at work. This is my fuckin’ home. Now shut up about it already.”

-you’ve never once seen this man wearing socks around the house. don’t ask me, i cannot explain this whatsoever, but i just kno this man walks around constantly barefoot 🤢🤮 unfortunately.

-he’s like, the most functional person ever in almost every aspect, but the stuff katsuki is bad at?? pls he is hopelessly bad. like, lets say art stuff. omg he just doesnt have the patience for it, okay, so say goodbye to any dreams of cute lil couple’s crafts. like, he’ll sit there while u do yours, but his will look like utter shit

- during the week, katsuki is either at work, training, or at home. pls, he works so hard during the day that i highly doubt he’s anything but an absolute homebody during the work week.

- bakugou gets pissy if u re-arrange any of the furniture on a whim. pls he likes comfort and familiarity n if he stubs his toe on the stupid coffee table one more fucking time, he’s going to scream

-its a rare occurance,, especially bc of the crazy hours he works,, but bakugou rlly likes making dinner for u to come home to. he just likes to feel like he’s taking care of u tbh

-he still goes to bed at like 8:30. or thats what u think, but rlly he just goes to sit in your room and have some time to himself for a bit. as much as he loves u, he prob still needs some alone time to recharge

-bakugou takes meticulous care of any plants u have in the house. like he’ll water them on a strict-ass schedule, n preen them when necessary. pls the way he’ll curse them out if they even dare to wilt under his care?? very much “What the hell, you bitch? ‘m doin’ everything fuckin’ perfect! Grow already!”

-katsuki is such a little bitch when he’s sick. he’ll be running like a 103 temp, brain literally melting, and still trying to get up and work out. the only way u can get him to chill the hell out is if u take a nap with him. ofc that means u always get sick too,, but hey- lil sacrifices right??

-he never lets you get the door. like, if there’s a knock n neither of u knows who it could be,, pls he’s on his feet so fast. waving u away n looking thru the keyhole w/ sm suspicion

-he has his spot on the couch, n u will not find him sitting anywhere else. like, that’s his spot. u better pray for anybody who mistakenly takes it

-bakugou doesn’t like dirt or grime, so he won’t allow you or himself, to sit on your bed with clothes that have been outside. like, even if you’re just sitting on top of the covers, he’s gonna throw a fit and demand you change your clothes first bc “No way in hell am I gonna let your dumbass dirty up my bed.”

-katsuki rlly likes when it storms outside. he’ll go sit in front of the window and watch the rain, sipping on a warm drink while he waits for more thunder. 

-living with bakugou is incredibly frustrating, bc he’ll just show up with new skills all of the goddamn time. like you’ll be like, “hmm i’d love to remodel the bathroom someday”,, and the very next weekend bakugou is meticulously re-tiling the bathroom floor by hand, probably also painting the walls in a new color, maybe even installing a new sink just to spruce it up. n then he’ll just present the entirely new, upgraded room with such weird nonchalance that it pisses u off. pls and if you watch him while he does these little projects, with all the weird precision and skill he suddenly gains?? pls you’re sure he must be possessed by the ghost of a craftsman

- when he hangs out with the bakusquad, he’ll drag you along every time. he expects you to sit with him the entire time and act as a social buffer?? basically, someone’ll ask him a question, one he deems stupid and therefore not worth answering, and bakugou will just look at you expectantly. he’ll just stare at you blankly, hardly even blinking until you pick up the slack and answer for him. you call him out on this many times, but it doesn’t matter. it doesn’t change anything. he does this over and over and over again

-bakugou gets really unsettled when you guys fight. like, he can’t sleep and he’s snapping at everybody, and is somehow more aggressive than usual. he always wants to just make up already, but the pride in the way won’t allow it

-he’s a weird stickler about intended furniture functionality?? like, the table is for eating, and the couch is for watching tv, and then only way you’re gonna get him to mix the two is if you ask him rlly rlly nicely

-finally- i have no basis for this one, but ik it in my heart: bakugou has a very intense fight with your thermostat nearly every single day. he swears up and down that it never ‘behaves’ for him, but every time you check it, it’s working perfectly fine

--/-- 

ahahhaa sorry y’all for the super random spam today,, but here were are back to our regularly scheduled bakugou programming,,,, bc idk if it’s obvious ur honor, but i love him

[bipolyjack]

Please tell me more about why you like sheith, I'm very curious to hear the rest of it.

(alright luckily i had the beginning of this saved elsewhere when tumblr just randomly sent it early so imma just begin by pasting. also spoilers for voltron s4 obv) 

the original ask was something like “curious why u like sheith? ive thought abt it and i think i prefer klance”

rubs hands 2gether Thank U for Asking

first of all, thats chill! if klance is ur thing, fuckin go for itmy dude, have a great time with that shit. the fandom’s huge andtheres tons of content. im all for ppl shippin what they want and imnot here to tell someone to ship or not ship something. if u do trulywant to know why im a sheith tho, buckle the fuck up cause im awashin sheith feelings at every moment and i got Things 2 say

alright so the main thing with sheith is that it feels realhealthy and good. (well it did. things are weird this season bc shiromay or may not be a clone but up until his disappearance at least.)they’re rly good abt checking in with each other to see how theother one’s doing and feeling, and they lean on each other a lotfor support. they also treat each other as equals and respect each other’s choices (again, with minor exceptions in the current season). they got that good good hidden backstory together. they got that good good star crossed lovers thing goin on where the universe keeps ripping them apart, fucking them over and tossing them back together more fucked up than before and my dude i Eat That Shit UP. also that good good height difference.the show gives them lots of moments where they’re either alone in a room together havin a private moment or havin an equally private moment in front of the whole fuckin team where fuckin everybody can see them (like the first Hug tm). they’re openly physically intimate with each other (which keith is not with anyone else) and they’re not like. ashamed of that. there’s so much canon content i cry daily. 

here lemme break it down

we know they knew each other in the garrison, and not just like in passing, like acquaintances, but enough that keith was the only person there to see shiro off when the kerberos mission launched. in s1ep1 lance says of shiro “omg that guys my hero” and of keith “you’re my rival” but neither shiro nor keith know who lance even fuckin is. bc presumably they didnt hang out. everyone in the garrison knows who keith and shiro are but they - keith especially it seems like - dont keep track of the other students. also theres this whole fanon thing where shiro and matt were best friends in the garrison and hung out all the time before kerberos, but in s4 when matt greets shiro hes incredibly stiff and awkward and calls him sir and shiro just goes “pidge never gave up on u buddy” which i guess could be a clone thing but could also be him bein like “i totally did give up on u tho, whatever” (and i can totally buy that considering how pidge’s whole personal arc this whole time has been looking for matt and their dad, and while shiro has been supportive of that, he’s also been like hey dude that’s not our top priority as a team). so from that i infer that matt and shiro werent best buds in the garrison, and that he must have spent a lot more of his time with keith bc in s2ep1 keith makes it clear that shiro made a significant impact on his life and that he still thinks about things shiro said to him before kerberos. which we havent seen. bc theyre hiding the pre-kerberos backstory from us and i cry. also their flashbacks in s1ep2 (i think, i dont exactly remember which ep but i think its that one) when they all put on the headsets and we see their fondest memories, shiro’s is the day they were separated and keith’s is the day they found each other again like jesus.

then there’s keith’s first scene in the show. the first thing we see him doing is kicking the shit out of like three garrison guys to rescue shiro. we get that close up of him touching shiro’s unconscious fuckin face and his first line in the whole show is him saying shiro’s name. like shit dude how am i supposed 2 not ship that. the first time keith and lance interact, its lance butting in on that moment and keith being like “who the fuck are u” and its. uncomfortable. we also know that keith has been livin alone in the desert and obsessing over these lion carvings bc he got kicked out of the garrison for basically insubordination sometime after shiro went missing. we get that scene in the shack where keith talks abt feeling lost until shiro showed up and everyone else in the room looking all confused and uncomfortable as these two dudes who clearly already know each other well and have been separated for like a year just stare into each other’s eyes or what the fuck ever. also the scene outside the shack where keith comes and finds shiro and puts a hand on his shoulder and asks him how hes doing - theyre alone for that part. also worth mentioning is that keith has no hesitation touching shiro’s galra tech arm, whereas lance hesitates before shaking his hand. we see a bunch of times that keith is touch averse with almost everyone except shiro, in a way that indicates a degree of prior familiarity and a good understanding of boundaries that keith hasnt had the time or inclination to set up with lance, hunk, pidge, allura, coran etc. also the one time he holds lance when sendack attacks the castle and lance is unconscious, lance sort of blows it off later and basically goes “no homo” when keith brings it up so that was a bummer

i also love some of the Pauses they put into shiro and keith’s dialogue, some of them are just. so choice. like when keith proposes a crazy plan that puts him in danger and shiro just takes a sec, closes his eyes, then goes “alright i’ll back u up, do what u gotta do” like!!!! boi!!!!!! thats good shit. also in s2ep9 during the blade of marmora trial when keith is basically having this nightmare about shiro rejecting him because of his connection to the galra, (which real actual shiro can see because this whole ep was a fuckin fanfiction) and he does that same thing where hes like “shiro... *pause, close eyes for Just a sec* you’re like a brother to me” which! by the way!! i have said the same thing!! to a friend i had a crush on!!! who was straight!!!! and i was a little baby who didnt know i was into girls yet and we used to say we were like sisters bc i? didnt know i?? was gay???? we shared her bed whenever i stayed over and she really did see me as a sister and i would just lie next to her and daydream about touching her boobs,, anyway keith is so relatable there i could yell forever but continuing on,

can we, real quick, talk abt the first time keith flies the black lion? bc in s2ep1 hes not the black paladin yet. real shiro is still around. and keith legit goes up to black, puts a hand on her big ole nose and goes “ur boi is in trouble, we gotta help him” and she goes “yeah dude hop in” like?????????????? thats some fanfic shit again! black Knows! also dont even talk to me abt how many times keith and shiro yell each others names in that ep its unreal. also the trope (that i eat the fuck up every time) of one member of the otp lying trapped and injured somewhere and talking to the other member of the otp thru a helmet comm or whatever and they cant see each other but they can hear each others voices, so they have to keep talking to like reassure each other they’re both still alive and okay?!!! im such a sucker for that shit!!!! ummmmm the fact that shiro keeps reassuring keith that hes fine when theres a gaping glowing wound in his side and hes like visibly in pain, clenching his teeth, eyes closed, groaning, sweat beading on his forehead, the whole fuckin thing?? and josh knocked it outta the park with shiro’s voice in that ep making him sound like he was trying not to sound hurt and exhausted so that keith wouldn’t worry too much like Fuck me up!! smiling thru the pain when keith talks abt how much shiro changed his life and made him a better person??? boi!!!!!

then there are the times when shiro talks abt something happening to him and keith taking over as voltron’s leader, and keith gets all panicked about it like he cant stand the thought of losing shiro again (this happens a bunch of times but the ones that are coming to mind are s2ep1 and s2ep9 bc. again. those are the fanfic episodes). and then he Does lose him again and he’s so clearly grieving, lashing out at the rest of the team, super obviously feeling shiro’s loss more than the others (and lance is a real dick about it a bunch of times which really rubbed me wrong), going out to look for him over and over bc he wants to believe so bad that shiro’s out there somewhere. omg the “please no” when the black lion accepts him that shit Fucked me right up!! he wants to honor shiro’s wishes!! but some part of him knows that’s like admitting that shiro’s gone and isn’t coming back. and then!!!!!! when they find kuron and its just the red lion and the galra ship floating alone in space just like. gently drifting toward each other. keith’s little tired smile there. fuck me up. and then we find out in the next scene that keith has been the only one in shiro (kuron)’s room while he’s recovering and shiro (kuron) hasnt bothered to shave or cut his hair or get dressed yet and he lets keith see him like that and not the rest of the team. fuck. keith looks Exhausted in that scene. hes got bags under his eyes, hes kinda hunched in on himself, arms crossed, like something in him Knows this isnt his boi but he wants to believe it’s him so bad and its. god. its a lot. and Then when hes turning to leave and kuron is like “how many times will u have to save me before this is over” and keith’s face just relaxes into this legitimately genuine smile when he says “as many times as it takes” like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck me

this is where it starts gettin awkward with them bc kuron isnt shiro and he doesnt treat keith the way shiro would but he Tries, like after keith fucks up that one mission and kuron comes and finds him (again, in private) to touch his shoulder and be like “im proud of u boi” when keith clearly Did Not Do A Good Job and keith just looks bummed like “thats. thats not tru” and it Hurts me bc we know real shiro doesnt do fake praise. also kuron orders keith to put himself in danger more than once and doesnt give a shit that keith and the others get hurt because of it which also real shiro would never do - we’ve seen him react when his teammates take hits before, but especially keith, like during the bom trial. then theres s4ep1 where keith sort of drifts away from team voltron in order to do more stuff with the blade of marmora and everyone’s pissed at him but then as hes walking out kuron’s like “you know we’re here for you if you need us” and keith gets that soft smile again like “i know and i cant tell you how much that means to me” and then they do that good good hand clasp that turns into a hug which by the way is a stark contrast to when other people hug keith and they just kinda grab him and he goes all stiff and it takes him a sec or three to put his arms around them if he even does that at all - with shiro they do the hand clasp first and then walk into the hug together and keith buries his face in shiro’s fuckin shoulder and smiles and closes his eyes and i wanna die. and theyve done this twice now which makes me think they probs did it before kerberos too and that also hurts me. 

then theres s4ep6 where keith has gone the whole season feeling like he was a bad leader. it seems like voltron doesnt rly need him and his friends dont need him and shiro doesnt need him and hes been hanging with the bom who have their whole philosophy of not going back to rescue their own guys if it means putting the mission or the rest of the team in danger (which keith already was saying when allura was captured - how very galra of him) and now keith’s having to readjust to that mindset after being part of such a close knit team. so when he sees a way to take that shield down, he just fuckin goes for it. hes started to see himself as expendable. when shiro thinks hes about to die, we get all kinds of flashbacks, the first of which is him and keith alone outside the shack. there are no flashbacks with keith. he just closes his eyes. and shiro (kuron) congratulates him. like obv its before he knows what keith was about to do, but still, thats some fucked up shit. 

now this wasnt rly part of ur question, ie u didnt ask me how i felt abt klance, but i feel like i gotta say: lance just grates on me. im sorry i know lots of people who love him but he just. isnt my cup of tea. and i do think the relationship shown in the show between keith and shiro is a lot more mature and healthy than the one shown between lance and keith. lance has some good moments! but canon lance and fanon lance seem like two entirely different people to me a lot of the time and thats all cool and fine if ur lookin for that, again im not here to stop ppl from having fun, but there are so many good sheith moments in the show and im just glad to see the relationship between two dudes depicted that way regardless of whether it becomes canon or not. also lance in the show is only shown being attracted to girls, and in kinda a skeevy way - like ive met guys who treat me like that and been Very off-put by that kind of behavior. and it would put me off if after all that they got him together with keith. like hes just superficially interested in all these hot girls but keith, who he has very few heartfelt intimate moments with onscreen, is his True Love? like thats,, not good bi rep. i Do rly like the bond hes been building with allura since they switched lions, that seems like its going in a direction that could turn out to be very wholesome and sweet. but again, if klance is ur thing, by all means have a ball.

k that was a lot but tl:dr i like 2 cry and sheith provides me with lots of opportunities to do that,, if u read it all then thank u deeply and truly for ur attention, u probs Understand me as a person a bit better than before lol

[spencer-quinn]

Posting for the link. This was 16th Jan ‘17. (Lost a lot of it sorry)

Arthur: Kinda high strung. Made him stick to a really boring schedule and he couldn't have any friends.

Jack: Oh no I don't mean that kind.

Spencer: Jack likes a man that can tell him what to do.

Jack: Not like that though, Spencer.

Spencer: Truth or dare, Josh?

Ray: I said I don't want to speak about dad like this.

Spencer: *He muffles a laugh.*

Arthur: -He leans back into his own space again, pushing Spencer's hand off his leg as subtly as he can in the process.-

Arthur: You don't have to. It's Josh's turn.

Josh: Dare

Ray: Do the macarena

Spencer: *He shoots Arthur a glare, his hand returning as he whispers,* it's not like I'm touching your dick.

Josh: That's embarrassing

Ray: Um...ok. Say the alphabet backward

Josh: *he looks at Arthur awkwardly and then back to ray* I can't

Arthur: Maybe I don't want you to touch me at all, -he whispers back, though he doesn't move his hand again.-

Spencer: The fuck is your problem?

Ray: Um...ok. Im not good at this. I'm sorry.

Arthur: That is a hard one, isn't it? Maybe you could... hm.

Josh: *he starts to do the Macarena but doesn't know it very well*

Spencer: What a cop-out.

Ray: *Ray applauds*

Arthur: Good job!

Josh: Thank you!

Spencer: *He nudges Arthur.* Truth or dare?

Arthur: Truth.

Spencer: What's got you all wound up?

Josh: No what's your favourite memory?

Arthur: I got to pet wolves when I was eight or nine. It was the coolest thing I've ever done.

Jack: *Jack moves away from Arthur and Spencer to go and sit in the windowsill.*

Spencer: That's still your favourite memory, huh?

Arthur: -He nods.-

Ray: Thats so cool!

Arthur: Yeah, it was really fun.

Arthur: Jack, it's your turn.

Spencer: I don't care, *he snaps.*

Jack: Oh, dare.

Spencer: I dare you to kiss Ray.

Josh: I dare you to not drink booze for a week

Arthur: I think you should probably kiss Josh.

Ray: He can kiss my cheek.

Jack: So what's my actual dare?

Arthur: I like Josh's dare best.

Spencer: Your call, sugar.

Jack: *He walks over to Ray, grabs his head and plants a kiss on his cheek.*

Spencer: Squash him like a melon.

Arthur: -He elbows Spencer's side.-

Spencer: Ow.

Ray: *Ray grimaces, but smiles slightly whilst wiping his cheek*

Jack: *He shoots him a wink when he's back sitting down.*

Arthur: Spencer's turn.

Josh: I didn't want him to kiss me anyway. I like when he kisses my friends. It's my favourite.

Spencer: Dare.

Ray: *Ray blushes slightly*

Ray: You should apologise to me.

Spencer: Fuck that off.

Ray: Spoilsport

Josh: I agree with Ray

Arthur: You should kiss everyone in this room.

Ray: Thank you, Josh.

Spencer: *He grits his teeth.* Fuck you.

Arthur: Choose between the two.

Spencer: No.

Arthur: No?

Spencer: No. Give me a truth.

Arthur: Are we allowed to switch?

Spencer: Yes.

Arthur: Does that seem fair to everyone else?

Josh: I suppose if he refuses.

Ray: I guess. Kind of.

Josh: Don't really want to kiss him anyway

Ray: Me either.

Arthur: I think you should tell us about your deal with Josh.

Josh: I don't like that one

Spencer: No, yeah, that's a good one.

Arthur: I take it back.

Spencer: He didn't want me to fuck Jack anymore. He wanted him to himself, so we made a deal. I said I'd stop sleeping with him if Josh did me a few small favours.

Arthur: Have you honored that deal?

Jack: What favours?

Spencer: He was real good about it, kept his side of the deal, got a hold of anything I asked him to, and you know what I did? *He turns to look at Arthur, head cocked slightly in questions.* I fucked him anyway. I mean - he's my main fuck. We fuck... What, daily now? *He looks over his shoulder, towards Jack.* Would you say daily? Every other day, maybe. Or we did before we left. *He looks towards Arthur again.* I'm going to bed.

Josh: *he messes with his sleeves, feeling his face heat up*

Jack: *He looks over to everyone, chewing on his lower lip, unsure of what to say.*

Ray: Uh. We should move on.

Ray: I choose truth.

Spencer: *Spencer stands from the sofa, stepping over Jack's legs to get closer to the door.*

Arthur: Hm. Well, that was a nice relationship while it lasted.

Spencer: I've learned my lesson. *He opens the door to leave, slamming it shut behind him.*

Arthur: Ray, tell us what it would take to make friends with Spencer again.

Ray: For me? I was never friends with him Arthur.

Arthur: Then tell us what it would take to become friend with him.

Ray: We spoke once. He used me and then decided he was better off not knowing me.

Jack: *Jack gets to his feet and looks around at everybody.* Sorry. *He mumbles to nobody in particular and rushes out.*

Josh: *josh nearly stops Jack but is already too embarrassed.*

Ray: I'd like an apology. Or for him to give me my dignity back. That would be nice.

Jack: Spencer *Jack shouts just as the rec room door is shutting to.*

Arthur: Right. Well, ask him nicely and he might be more willing to do that.

Ray: He can't give me my dignity back Arthur.

Ray: *he brings his knees up to his chin and wraps his arms around them*

Arthur: ...Everyone else ready for bed?

Spencer: *He turns, teeth gnawing his lower lip. He folds his arms over his chest.* We should go outside.

Josh: *shakes his head*

Ray: Yeah. *He mumbles but doesn't move*

Jack: I don't know what just happened.

Josh: At least there won't be any arguing now.

Spencer: Nothing, we were playing truth or dare. I got truth, so I told the truth.

Arthur: Right, it'll just be awkward silence instead. I'm sorry, Josh.

Ray: *Ray buries his face in his knees, hiding behind his arms* M-hm.

Arthur: What time is your bedtime, Ray?

Jack: So why did it end up with Arthur being mad?

Josh: I know it was own stupid fault for making that deal.

Arthur: It didn't have to come out like that, though. That was MY fault.

Ray: *Ray hums in reply*

Spencer: *He shrugs.* He likes to tell me I'm perfect but also likes it better when I keep the bad parts from him. Can we go the fuck outside, please?

Josh: I'm still a bit confused

Jack: Okay I'm not gonna say what I think. *He walks alongside Spencer.*

Spencer: No, go for it. What harm's it gonna do now?

Ray: What time is it now?

Arthur: Confused about what? I don't know what time it is.

Ray: Is it before 10pm?

Jack: Like... I dunno... Shouldn't he still think you're perfect even when he knows the bad parts?

Josh: About what just happened

Arthur: I don't think so. The staff would have come around if it was after 10pm.

Ray: Oh ok. I have to go to bed by 10.

Spencer: It's not as if I blame him. I guess I've been waiting for him to figure it out. 'Bout time, really. He lasted a damn long time though, I'll give him that.

Jack: Why are we going outside?

Spencer: Do you have any cigarettes?

Arthur: I was a jerk, then Spencer was a jerk, then I was a jerk again and Spencer left. Jack was probably embarrassed so he left too, and now you guys are sitting here confused and I'm pretty convinced I'm gonna throw up.

Ray: Try and breathe in through your mouth and out through your nose.

Josh: Oh.

Jack: Yeah actually.

Spencer: That's why we're going outside.

Jack: Oh.

Ray: Why do you think Spencer thinks Dad was like...that?

Ray: Do either of you think he was?

Josh: of course not

Arthur: -He tilts his head back against the back of the couch, eyes cast up at the ceiling.- Because it's kind of a creepy situation, Ray. This dude decides he's gonna be your dad and then takes you away from your family and doesn't let you communicate with anyone ever again.

Spencer: Sorry for, uh... You know. The Josh thing. Using you as a bribe.

Ray: Its not like I did any communicating anyway. He was trying to make me better Arthur.

Jack: *He shrugs.* I knew about it and let you fuck me anyway.

Arthur: Was dad number one not good enough?

Ray: He wasn't there. Neither was my mom. Adam was trying to fix their mistakes.

Arthur: What mistakes?

Spencer: You don't belong to him. You had no reason not to.

Ray: They were shit parents. I was a dick before. I was rude and inconsiderate. The me now is much better and its because of him

Jack: Always gonna fuck you, Spence.

Arthur: Right, but the you now also doesn't know how to socialize. That's bad for brain development, apparently. I read that somewhere.

Spencer: Just--. Hurry up a little, yeah? *He pushes open the doors leading to the garden.*

Josh: That explains a lot

Jack: Right, yeah.

Ray: Never knew anyway. Didn't have any friends. At least I know that with Dad if I disappeared somebody would be worried.

Arthur: Sure, yeah. At least you have that.

Ray: Is that supposed to be sarcasm?

Arthur: Nope. That got me in trouble the first time, so no.

Arthur: Y'know, I think it's probably best if all of us went to bed.

Ray: Oh. Ok. Sorry.

Ray: Yeah, probably.

Spencer: *Once they're outside, he crosses his arms over his chest again, his scrubs not doing a heck of a lot to keep him warm.*

Josh: We can still hang out ray. If you want to

Jack: *He gets out a poorly rolled cigarette and a lighter.*

Ray: Yeah...yeah if you want to. I don't want to sleep yet. Feel like I'll have nightmares.

Josh: Okay. We can go somewhere

Ray: Where can we go?

Josh: We can go to my room

Ray: Yeah...ok

Spencer: *Spencer tells Jack he wants to be alone. Jack buggers off.*

Arthur: I'll be here for a while if you guys need me. Have fun.

Ray: Sorry if I ruined stuff Arthur.

Arthur: Nope, that was all me Ray. Not your fault.

Ray: If it changes anything, I don't think you did anything wrong.

Josh: He doesn't deserve you anyway.

Arthur: Thanks, but if you don't leave, you're going to have to watch me puke.

Ray: I can get you more water if you want?

Arthur: Just go. Please.

Ray: Um...Ok. Night Arthur.

Josh: *josh grabs rays hand and pulls him out of the room*

Spencer: *He sits on a bench against the wall, rolling his thumb over the lighter in an attempt to light it.*
