i find it so cute when the 5 called uncle colm to the investigation & when their plan succeeded, they all celebrated him & he was smiling saying, "any time, weans! any time at all!" :)

Nothing will ever be funnier than that scene when Orla showed James her drawing and says “I ran out of brown so your eyes are red” and he just looks at it and says “ My eyes are green”

And then she says “ now you tell me” and cries a little

I just finished watching Derry Girls for the first time and now I can’t stop thinking with an Irish accent

It's Bridie's corpse. It's Bridie's dead corpse. It's just a dead body, James. We're all going to be one someday.

DERRY GIRLS - S02E04: The Curse

[lavenderbanisters]

rewatched derry girls earlier this year and it made me wanna draw the bestiesss

[fanaticbitchhh]

aye, gag me with a spoon will ye?

james maguire x fem!quinn!reader

warnings: fluff, mentions of blood

notes: this was so rushed but i wanted to get something out for james because we're lackin' james appreciation on this app !!

it was early in the morning, well 11 am but still early for y/n. she was packed and ready to go to portnoo with the rest of the derry girls, and james of course.

her and james have been dating a little over 6 months now, they couldnt be happier. they had awesome friends, well michelle was still a bit of a bitch towards james but he could deal, and he had the most perfect girlfriend he could ask for.

y/n headed downstairs, excited to see her boyfriend as she heard his voice from the living room. she wore relatively comfortable clothes, a pair of james' sweatpants and his hoodie did her just fine.

as she bounded towards james, she failed to notice the tent in her way and she tripped over it. she was absolutely mortified and felt blood trickling from her nose at the impact from the floor.

"oh god, y/n, are you okay?" james panicked, rushing to her side.

"aye dont worry yourself jamie, im fine. just excited to see you is all" she smiled to the worried boy infront of her.

"c'mon, lets get you cleaned up." he said, taking her hand and leading her up to the bathroom.

she reluctantly sat on the counter, waiting for james to do whatever he was to do so she could kiss him without blood going all over him. eventually, james ripped off a bit of toilet roll and shoved it under her nose to catch the blood.

they sat there for a few minutes, admiring eachother with lovesick smiles on their faces before james pulled the tissue away.

"you're alright, yeah?" james asked, kissing her forehead.

she hopped off the counter and stood by the door way.

"with you here, im always okay." she smiled, booping his nose softly.

he blushed and laughed a bit, he always got shy when she flirted with him, or did anything remotely romantic. it was foreign to him, he was so used to michelle always saying he'd never find love that when he actually did, it was hard to accept it.

he kissed her softly, smiles playing on both their faces as they did so.

"i love you jamie" she smiles as they break away.

"i love you too y/n/n, more than you know." he smiles back.

"aye, gag me with a spoon will ye?"

the two jump away from eachother.

"michelle!" they exclaim as she chuckles almost like a witch.

I’ve seen a few posts about how the Derry Girls would act in a Yellowjackets situation (love) but I also think it would be funny to just. add them to the Yellowjackets cast. like they were just inexplicably on the plane too. anyway here are my thoughts on the matter:

Erin and Michelle would fight over Travis

The Derry Girls, as Catholics, would be very on board with Lottie and Laura Lee’s whole deal. They would be the first to believe that Lottie is a bonafide girlprophet

Ben would try to help James understand that it’s okay to be gay and James would be like right, thanks, but I’m not gay

Sister Michael, if she was there, would take the rifle from Travis during the hunting competition and inexplicably be the best shot out of the group

Clare would be absolutely losing it over how much rations they have left. just a constant state of panic. she would be even less helpful than Jackie

Erin would be her annoying tryhard self. She’d go with Tai on her expedition for rescue and try to take over leadership. The expedition goes even worse than it does in canon

Erin would really admire Tai and she’d try to emulate her. She pretends to sleepwalk and have an “Other Erin” when she finds out about Tai’s sleepwalking. She is publicly shamed by Michelle when Michelle catches her smearing dirt on her mouth to pretend she also sleep-eats dirt

Like the JV Yellowjackets, Michelle would have no qualms about cannibalism

Clare would be extremely opposed to drawing cards and would be aggressively hyperventilating and crying until someone other than her is chosen. then she goes back on her word that cannibalism is inherently unethical and is all aboard the cannibal train. Michelle calls her out for this. (Well, I just think that because the wilderness chose, Michelle…)

Orla and Misty and Crystal would be friends and Mari would consider murdering them all because they’re much more annoying than just Crystal/Misty. Orla would not really care that Misty broke the flight recorder.

let’s be real, none of the Derry Girls are making it to rescue, but if they did Erin would be immediately publishing her journals. They’d be back for not even a day and she would have that book deal. They wouldn’t even need the likes of Jessica Roberts and other media outlets to snoop around. The Derry Girls would be calling networks themselves to get on talk shows.

Derry girls + textpost

[kenstewydyke]

in season 3's prom episode of derry girls, it was clear that the dynamics between the mothers when they were in high school were replicated in the next generation too. The four women attended the prom with Diedre's cousin accompanying her (and then all of them). So we have four girls and a male cousin of one of them which is just like the Derry girls' situation. And Rob was openly gay. Doesn't this hint at James being gay/queer too ?
