Spill Your Guts (OP81)

summary: after revealing what she listens to in order to wind down, y/n ends up with an invite from her favorite podcast host to appear in the next episode

driver!reader x podcast host!oscar piastri -> habs incoming... series masterlist

cw: not fia approved words, reader teasing lando (they're besties), kissing, fluff, bad flirting, oscar being bullied by hattie

wc: 2.9k

a/n: this one is written + smau, with a bit of different formatting for the podcast episode. this one was fun to write, I hope y'all will like it and show it some love.

-> TAKE 1

“Hi,” you said, flashing a smile to the camera. “I’m Y/n L/n!”

“And I’m Lando Norris,” your teammate, sitting in a chair next to you in the video set up, said while waving his hand. “And we’re McTeammates!”

“Lando,” you said, shaking your head as you turned to look at him. “We talked about this. We drive for McLaren, we’re teammates but,” you lifted a finger up, pointing it at him. “We’re not, McTeammates.”

He rolled his eyes, sticking his tongue out at you. “Whatever you say, McGrumpy!”

“That’s it!” You said, pushing your chair away from the table and standing up. “I’m taking away your Gray’s Anatomy privileges.”

“You can’t do that, you bitch!”

“Try me, you little termite!”

-> TAKE 2

“Hi,” you smiled, lifting your hand up to wave at the camera. “I’m Y/n L/n.”

“Why do you always start?” Lando complained. “Like why isn’t my name first, I’ve been here longer.”

“Because I’m the lead in the championship and your nickname is last lap Lando.”

“That’s so fucking mean, you muppet!” He sobbed, wiping the corner of his eye to add to the dramatic effect. “What’s wrong with you - you know I’m sensitive about that.”

You sighed, putting your hand on his back and rubbing along his spine in a comforting manner. “I’m sorry, Lando, I didn’t mean it.” You said, putting your fingers into his locks and ruffling his hair. “We can do your name first, and you can start the video. How does that sound?”

He looked up at you, eyes shining with excitement, the previous dramatics instantly gone as he started nodding his head. “Deal! No take backsies!”

-> TAKE 3

“Hi!” Lando said, his voice full of enthusiasm as he waved at the same with a big grin. “I’m Lando Norris.”

“And I’m Y/n L/n!” You said, smiling at the came and praying this take was going to work out because if you had to start this video over one more time you were going to strangle your teammate.

“Today we’re answering your questions. which you had the chance to send us on Instagram and we put them in this bowl.” Lando explained, holding up the said bowl full of folded papers.

You pushed your hand into the bowl, running your fingers over the papers before grabbing one and pulling it out. You unfolded the paper, looking down at the printed words. “What is Lando afraid of?” You read the question, laughing a little. “Fish!”

“Hey!” He interrupted, snatching the paper from your hands. “It’s my question I’m supposed to answer!” He looked down at the paper, humming while nodding his head. “I’m also afraid of the dark.”

You bit your lip to stop yourself from making a comment, wanting badly to tease him about saying he was afraid of the dark.

Satisfied with his reply, Lando threw the paper away and dug into the bowl for the next one. He unfolded the paper, clearing his throat dramatically before reading out the question. “What does Y/n L/n listen to, to wind down?” His eyes snapped up, looking into yours. “Uh, I know this one!”

“I don’t care,” you replied, snatching the paper from his hands. “It’s my question.” You told him, returning his previous words back to him, which made him pout. “To wind down, especially after a race I listen to a podcast hosted by some Aussie guy named Oscar. The podcast is called Spill Your Guts, it has no specific theme and the host is a funny guy. Plus, he sounds cute.”

“I could have answered that!” Lando said, poking your arm with his finger. “I knew your answer word for word.”

“I’m sure you did Lando,” you said, nodding your head at him. “Now why don’t you pull out the next question?”

It’s a few days later, the video already long gone from your mind, when you walk into your driver’s room after a practice and flop directly onto the couch as soon as your helmet and balaclava are off, letting your body mold into the cushions after the exhausting practice.

You grab your phone and open it, eyes focusing on the new massage you had gotten while you were in the car. Your expression is confused as your eyes swipe over the number, not recognizing whose it is.

You enter the chat and after a brief moment of hesitation, you reply.

Your hands are shaking as you try your best to shove your phone into your pocket before jumping up, a scream tearing from your throat before you’re running to Lando’s driver’s room.

“Lando!” You yell, grabbing the door handle and pushing his doors open without knocking. He stops dead in his tracks and turns around to face you.

Lando holds both hands up, his mouth full of a chocolate doughnut that is half sticking out. He quickly grabs the part that’s sticking out and pulls it out of his mouth, swallowing the rest as fast as he can. “Don’t tell my trainer, please!”

Your eyes slide over to the half a doughnut in his hands and you shake your head at him. “I don’t care about that,” you tell him. “You’ll never believe what happened!”

“Max Verstappen got a 100 points penalty and you secured the championship?” He offers, deciding to finish his doughnut while he has a chance.

“No, I don’t think that’s possible,” you tell him. “But it would be great! What was I saying? Oh, yes!” You clap your hand before putting them on his shoulders and shaking him. “Oscar Piastri invited me to star in an episode?”

“Who?” He asks, his voice muffled by the treat in his mouth.

“The Spill Your Guts, guy!”

“You got invited to Spill Your Guts!?” Lando asks, swallowing the doughnut before looking at you with a smile. “You’re going to be on an episode of your favorite podcast?”

“Yes!” You laughed, smiling at him.

“How?”

You grabbed Lando’s hand and moved him over to the couch, flopping down into a comfortable position, you patted the spot next to you, signaling for your teammate to sit down. Once he did, you cracked your fingers and locked your eyes with his. “Okay, so…” and then started explaining.

OSCAR: Hello everyone! Welcome to tonight's episode of Spill Your Guts. Tonight’s guest is definitely the most famous person I’ve ever had sitting opposite of me if you don’t count my sister, with her 120k TikTok followers. Anyways, it’s my pleasure to welcome Y/n L/n to the studio!

Y/N: Hi, Oscar! And hello to everyone who’s listening in tonight. The pleasure is all mine really - I’m honestly so excited to be here. Just ask Lando, I’m pretty sure he’s gone deaf from all my screaming.

OSCAR: [laugh] Okay Y/n, settle in and fasten your seat-belt, we’re starting.

Y/N: I’m ready!

OSCAR: I’m sure you’ve been asked this many times but what’s it like being a Formula 1 driver?

Y/N: Thrilling. Every race week is a new adventure and the sport is really competitive so you’re constantly trying to prove yourself and set new records. There’s really no time to slow down.

OSCAR: I’ll be honest, it sounds a bit exhausting. Now, if you were a driver what would you be?

Y/N: Maybe a doctor [sigh] I’ve always been interested in medicine but racing is my life. But yeah, if I wasn’t a racer I’d probably want to pursue a career in medicine.

OSCAR: [hum] I can see it. You’d look good in scrubs. [both laugh] What’s your favorite Grand Prix?

Y/N: Two words Oscar - Las Vegas!

OSCAR: That’s a night race, yeah? Seem fun. Are you ready for some rapid fire questions now?

Y/N: Go right ahead, pretty boy.

OSCAR: [nervous laugh] Okay then, ready steady go! Wet or dry?

Y/N: Wet.

OSCAR: Monza or Monaco?

Y/N: Monza!

OSCAR: Blondes or brunettes?

Y/N: Brunettes [laugh] Australian ones preferably.

OSCAR: [very loud laugh] How cold are the ice baths?

Y/N: Very fucking cold.

OSCAR: Vettel or Alonso?

Y/N: None of them - Rosberg. Catch the reference.

OSCAR: I did! Catch the reference, that’s it. I watched that video to come up with questions.

Y/N: Oh, is the next question bums of boobs then? Because bums for sure.

OSCAR: That was not a question but thank you for answering it either way. Let me take a quick peek at the chat. boy4norizz wants to know who’s your favorite F1 teammate?

Y/N: [loud laugh] Oh God, Lando I’m gonna kill you! So, the only answer I can give you is Lando, because he’s the only teammate I’ve had in F1. But if I had another, it would definitely be them.

OSCAR: Cats or dogs?

Y/N: I like both but if I had to pick - dogs. I’ve got a dog actually, a goldie. His name’s Apollo.

OSCAR: I love goldies!

Y/N: You should come meet mine sometimes.

OSCAR: I might take you up on that. Now, last I checked you are the current lead in the championship, right? How does that feel?

Y/N: Still feels a bit unreal, if I’m being honest. Obviously every driver dreams about winning the WDC, and obviously only half of the season is done so I don’t want to be getting ahead of myself with the talk, but to actually be in the lead and have such a big chance to win it feels amazing.

OSCAR: I hope you do win it.

Y/N: Oh! [small pause] Does that mean you’ll be cheering on me?

OSCAR: Absolutely! You mentioned half of the season being done so that means summer break is approaching right?

Y/N: Yes, summer break starts after the next race.

OSCAR: Got any plans for the break?

Y/N: Depends. Are you free?

[few moments of silence and then both start laughing]

OSCAR: [catching his breath] Alright, thank you everyone for tuning in - and thank you to Y/n, for joining us. Enjoy the rest of your night.

You look into the mirror one more time, raising your hands up to smooth down your hair for God knows what time that night. You push yourself forward, practically leaning over the desk so your face is directly in front of the mirror and run your finger over the edge of your bottom lip, making sure corners of your lipstick aren’t smudged.

“Stop that!” Lando says, picking up a makeup brush from the bed and throwing it at you. It’s times like these that make you wonder why you agreed to go on vacation with him. “You look great! I’m sure the pastry boy’s jaw is gonna dislocate from how hard it’s going to drop when he sees you.”

“That’s … definitely a mental image.” You reply, picking up the brush from the floor and throwing it back at him. “I’m nervous,” you admit, picking on the bits of skin next to your nails.

Lando gets up from the bed and approaches you. He smiles and lifts a hand up to pat your shoulder before deciding to pull in for a quick hug. “There’s no need to be.You’re a catch and if he screws us it’s his loss.”

You bite your lip, teeth digging into your bottom lip as you think it over. “Yeah, you’re right. Come on, I’m gonna be late.”

After pushing Lando out of your room you grab your purse and exit the room. The elevator ride down to the lobby feels like a small eternity, your stomach tied in knots by the time you finally step out in the lobby.

You make your way outside, a lump in your throat as you look around the busy street. Your eyes finally meet his and it’s like time slows down. He’s leaning against his car, dressed casually in pants and a T-Shirt, and holding a small bouquet of flowers.

You smile as you approach him and he mirrors your smile with his own. “These are for you,” he says, offering you the bouquet. “You look breathtaking.”

“Thank you,” you reply, taking the flowers from him, your fingers brushing against his. “And you don’t look bad yourself.”

He laughs in response, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards into a smile. He grabs the car door handle and opens the door, gesturing at it with his free arm. “Shall we?”

You can help but laugh, nodding your head you get into the car and he closes the door, going around the car and sitting in the driver's seat. “Where are we going?” You ask, settling back into the seat and pulling on your seat-belt.

“A little restaurant I used to go to with my parents and sisters when I was younger,” he tells you, starting the car. “Trust me, you’ll love it.”

f1wagupdates: new WAG in the paddock?

current championship lead and famous mclaren driver Y/n L/n, was spotted having an intimate dinner with Oscar Piastri, podcast host of Spill Your Guts, which L/n starred on and mentioned it being her favorite podcast.

after the episode she appeared in fans noted the flirting between L/n and Piastri. are the two finally together?

comments:

ynsmclaren2: I'm very happy for them but why don't we give them some privacy instead of photographing them going out to dinner

user332: hell yeah! my otp is real

user441: they look so cute together, I ship it

oscarpiastri: the term WAG stands for wives and girlfriends and is used for partners of athletes mostly because they are straight men dating women. the appropriate term to use in this situation is HAB because that stands for husbands and boyfriends and is therefore the same things as a WAG but for the other gender

oscarpiastri: if you're gonna gossip at least do it right user77: he ate I fear user667: f1wagsupdates you've been real quiet since this comment

oscarpiastri: #HABandproud

user11: please I love him user334: mclaren's media team is gonna have a field day user102: protect him from pr training at all costs

“Stop biting your nails, it’s disgusting” Hattie said, slapping Oscar’s hand away from his mouth.

Oscar tore his attention off from the screen to glare at his sister before returning it to the screen once more. This was it, Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

You and Max were tied in the points and this was not only the final race of the season but also the race that determined who would win the championship. Of course he was biting his nails, he was nervous.

“And to think mom said you’d never get a girlfriend sitting in a studio and hosting a podcast.” Hattie said, bringing a glass of water up to her lips and drinking from it.

“Why are you even here?” Oscar asked his sister.

“Your girlfriend invited me,” Hattie replied with a shrug of her shoulders. “She likes me more than you.”

Oscar was about to reply but the only thing that came out of his mouth was a gasp as he completely focused on what was playing out. He felt Hattie grab his hand, her nails digging into his skin.

“Verstappen is attempting a rather risky overtake on L/n, can she defend?” He heard the voice of the commentator ring out through the speakers. The whole crowd seemed to silence down as they watched the battle for first place, for the championship.

“Last lap, they can both see the checkered flag but who will cross it first?” Oscar held his breath. “Verstappen going wide … but L/n leaves no space! She moves fast, she moves fast and SHE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE!”

Oscar winced as Hattie screamed into his ear, both of them hugging each other before running down with the rest of the team to greet you when you got out of the car.

You pulled yourself out from the car, your heart practically in your throat, vision blurry with tears brimming in the corners of your eyes. You pulled your helmet and balaclava off, each searching the crows until they landed on Oscar who was smiling at you.

Without as much as a second thought you ran up to him, throwing your arms around him and kissing him. He kissed you back, full of passion, and his arms stroked your back.

When you finally pulled away he had the biggest smile on his face, lifting his hand up to cup your cheek. “So, about that championship win interview?”

You laughed, leaning your cheek into his hand. “It’s a date.”

Twenty Questions

Thanks for the tags, @eybefioro, @goodoldfashionednightingale, and @hoarder-of-dragons! I picked my favorites from the posts you tagged me on, and added a few more of my own:

Currently consuming: Good Omens everything

Currently consuming: Good Omens everything (it's worth repeating!)

First ship: I'm not sure. I think I was introduced to the concept of ships through Thomas Sanders' Sanders Sides

Do you have kids? Yes, birth and foster 🥰

What sports do you play/have you played? Dance, horseback riding, and martial arts

Are you more likely to be sincere or sarcastic? Sincere

How many tabs are open on your browser? Over 3,000, because Session Buddy doesn't work on mobile yet 😅

What's your favourite colour? There's no way I can choose! I love the play of different colors with one another. I tend to wear a lot of purple, burgundy, and teal jewel tones, especially in the autumn and winter.

Favorite drink: Hot cocoa with marshmallows and herbal tea for the winter

Last movie: Nothing Lasts Forever and Pride and Prejudice (Those of you as obsessed with Good Omens as I am might recognize a theme here 🤩 )

Scary movies or happy endings? Feel good media with happy endings, please! The world is already full of too many sad and awful things.

When was the last time you cried? I don't remember, but it was probably induced by sleep deprivation and stress. Or really big feelings.

Any talents? Photography! And I love to nurture things. Sometimes that means cooking for loved ones, or growing a jungle of plants in my living room, or organizing gatherings for an extended circle of friends and chosen family

Talent you wish you had? Drawing

What are your hobbies? Right now, the only honest answer is Good Omens 😅

Do you have any pets? Yes! I've shared my life with a whole zoo full of cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles, including an adventure cat, a part-bear part-muppet therapy dog, and a tegu lizard that I trained to walk on a leash and harness.

Super power you wish you had? Reading minds

Dream job? I don't know! I've had so many, and they've all been valuable stepping stones on the path of my life. The jobs where I get to teach and help people - especially kids - are my favorites.

Dream vacation? Seeing the northern lights in person is high on my list. Also, a wildlife photo safari in Africa.

How would you change the world if you could? (Or, what are you passionate about?) I would teach everyone the skills of DBT (helpful for absolutely everyone who has ever had a strong feeling or a connection to another person) and then I would give everyone universal healthcare and a universal basic income with an aim to eliminating poverty, especially among children, plus all the other long term benefits that would stem from that. (Read more from WaPo about UBI here if you're interested.)

Currently working on: Solving the ineffable mystery with the lovely people at the @ineffable-detective-agency, and finishing a new fanfic for the Good Omens Minisode Minibang. Hopefully I'll be ready to post that later this weekend!

No-pressure tags for a few mutuals who might be into tag games, and an open invitation to everyone else!

IMPORTANT: Addressing my Patreon

So to the few people who are/still subscribed to my Patreon, please unsubscribe. If you’re still hoping for art on there soon it’s not coming

I’ve been meaning to make a post addressing this and I held off in fear of how some people might react. To anyone who has been a follower of mine for a while you may already be aware of the Zoophobia drama I had when I decided to leave the fandom. To anyone knew I was guilt tripped with depression and other dark subjects by anons, hence why I now stay far away from that fandom

Being fully honest, the writing in Helluva Boss can be...pretty bad at times, and honestly the only appreciation I really have for the series at this point is for the voice acting, character design, and certain bits of animation. I’m not overly attached to the characters beyond “Oh, they have a cool design!”, not to mention that some of the characters themselves and their relationships are in dire need of being focused on (Namely Millie as a whole, and Stolas’s relationship to Via. There moment in episode 2 together was sad yes, but it wasn’t any tear jerker. We had been introduced to Octavia’s character for the first time in that very same episode and they where trying to tug at our heart strings with no prior focus on their father-daughter bond)

As for MHA I still enjoy the show and it’s characters, but mental health is still low and with how the series is still in a pretty dark arc I just don’t really have the capacity to watch the show with the themes it’s presenting. I love the show for it’s characters and world building! But currently I just cant handle the story in the present arc, some themes with Deku hit a bit too close to home

I’ve been thinking for a while what I can do with my Patreon, because it would be brilliant if I can turn that into a small source of income. I’ve been debating about posting small snippets of my stories to there as well as more art, not just limited to Hazbin/Helluva and MHA. Potential Muppet related projects, been entertaining the idea of making a puppet in the future, but things are still up in the air and nothing is set in stone

So yeah, to anybody who is still subscribed to my Patreon please unsubscribe!

Our Favorite Show

"...that's why you were my favorite show long before you had one." -- Kermit to Miss Piggy, The Muppets (abc) 2015

A/N: With the fact that MP had a traumatic child, this is a TW for PTSD.

---

Miss Piggy bears many secrets which Kermit knew early on within their relationship, and there’s only a few that Kermit, and him alone, knows. Her childhood is a huge trigger for her, or to be more specific her father’s death that induced her phobia of tractors.

But even when the pair broke up, Kermit keeps his mouth shut. Not a single secret she had ever told him is ever seen on TMZ or any tabloid site. He knows her heart, deep down, despite the television persona she displays.

They saw each other at their worst; funerals, job rejections, name it and they’ve dealt with it together behind closed doors.

The star of Up Late with Miss Piggy shines her bright star with the dark past attempting to creep up behind her. She can feel the constant knock on her mental door; its locks are shaking and on the verge of breaking apart like paper. Shaking her head, she listens to the Electric Mayhem play The Muppet Show theme song instrumental.

She turns over to the booth, she notices Kermit taking a few glances at her as if he’s able to read her mind. But if she’s honest with herself, he probably can.

Still, the show goes on for the next hour until she’s able to walk to her dressing room—her safe place other than her home.

Piggy closes the door behind her—doesn’t bother locking it because there’s not a soul who’d walk in without knocking—and instantly changes into some sweats and a t-shirt with a hoodie over it. She doesn’t remove her makeup, not until she gets ready for bed. Now, she sits down on her comfy couch with a glass of wine in her hand.

She remains there, sitting still, until her cell phone rings which startles her from a trance. Without looking at the contact, she answers, “Vote for Piggy.”

Suddenly, the dial tone dings, and she hangs up. “Well then.”

An hour passes, and she falls asleep on her couch.

The next morning, she wakes up to a blanket over her and notices a green figure in her recliner with a baseball bat next to him.

Kermit.

“You must’ve been exhausted to fall asleep here of all places.” He says with a smile.

Piggy sits up and nods, “Yeah, the show’s been rough this week.”

The frog moves to sit next to her. “I know.”

She can’t help but ask, “Why did you stay?”

He takes a breath as if he knew she’d ask. Considering the status of their relationship, he can’t blame her. “Because I couldn’t leave knowing you’d be here all by yourself. No place is perfectly safe nowadays, y’know.”

Piggy nods because she knows. “True,” she agrees and smiles. “Thanks.”

“Don’t do that. Don’t thank me for something that’s merely the bare minimum.”

They stand up in unison.

“We both better get the coffee before the gang grabs it all.” Kermit suggests, leading them out of the dressing room.

Piggy, despite her hair being a total mess, agrees and follows the frog.

They venture to the coffee and turns out the coffee was freshly made. The pair doesn’t waste any time to snatch themselves a cup to awaken their slumbered bodies and souls.

After the coffee slams into their bloodstreams, they walk outside and check out the parking lot which turns out to be filling up fast as the gang pull in one-by-one.

First, it’s Scooter who appears to always be glad to go into work. Okay, he’s a workaholic but doesn’t change the fact that the younger man adores his job. Then, Gonzo, the daredevil who likes to speed in like a NASCAR driver. We all get the drift, right?

It’s a normal morning full of chaos until it turns for the worse. Sweetums speeds in with a tractor that seems to be malfunctioning and it’s heading towards her.

Piggy freezes, unable to move, and Kermit doesn’t hesitate to jump between her and the incoming impact, shielding her in place.

A young piglet seems to be no older than eight, on a tractor next to an older pig. He smiles down at his piglet. They’re racking the huge property as it’s impossible to do so by hand.

“Daddy, look at that!” Piggy exclaims and points at the ground as the machine does its work.

“I know, sweetie, isn’t that neat?” Her father replies.

Then, it happens.

It starts to shut off and turn on, speed up, slow down, the signs of something that’s breaking down.

The older pig tightens his hold on her but the force of it all ushers her off and meters in front of the tractor.

She small piglet struggles to stand and braces for impact but is shoved to safety. When she comes to her bearings, she notices her dad on the ground, unmoving. She limps to her dad’s unmoving body and knows he’s not going to wake up.

So, she screams, not only in fear but in guilt, and grief.

Thankfully, Big Mean Carl shows up in the nick of time to shut the tractor down.

When Kermit lets go, he notices her features: her newly pale face, trembling hands, and knees buckling as she loses strength and falls to her knees. He hears a mantra coming from her.

“Not again, please, not again.” She mumbles where only Kermit can hear her distress.

Her throat is closing, she’s sure of it because it sure feels like it, and her whole body is trembling now as she lets out a series of coughs and wheezes. She can barely hear Kermit attempting to lure her back.

“Piggy, look at me,” he says, almost pleading. “I’m here. Wanna count with me?”

She nods and looks at him, only him.

Kermit smiles and nods before counting. “One…”

She struggles but still repeats, “One.”

“Two.”

Her head starts rolling slightly but green, steady hands catch her and gently guides her head against his chest. He hums to her and looks around to realize that they aren’t alone.

“Someone get her a cool washcloth, please.” He demands sternly yet politely while caressing his fingers in her hair.

As Scooter rushes to get the washcloth, Kermit leans his head against the outer wall of the studio.

“It’s okay, I promise, it’s over. It won’t get you, not while I’m around.” The frog whispers in her ear and presses a few kisses to her hair for good measure.

Scooter returns with the cool washcloth and hands it to him. “Here you go, boss.” The thing about Scooter is he doesn’t ask questions in this type of situation. He only makes sure things are safe for the one affected and at his moment, it’s Piggy.

He never saw the diva so contrast to her usual self but now, he wonders if the woman everyone sees around the world is her true identity.

Kermit doesn’t bother when he notices the younger man starring, he has other priorities. “Tell ABC to halt production until further notice.”

Scooter’s shock expression says it all. “What? Sir, what if they—”

“They have a problem; they talk to me and only me. Not a word is to be muttered to her, understand?” Kermit’s ‘I’m the boss and they don’t want to mess with me’ voice.

“Of course, sir. Should I gather them up for an emergency meeting?”

“That’d be a good idea.”

With that, Scooter runs to gather them up in the meeting room.

Kermit doesn’t ask her to move; instead, her lifts her up and carries her to her dressing room by using the back door where no one can see them. He lays her down, covers her up, and walks out but not before locking the door from the inside.

Time for business.

[HR]

The Muppets, except for Piggy, are waiting for Kermit to arrive. And, they have questions.

“Sweetums, what happened?” Scooter asks, concern growing in his voice.

“Well, I don’t know, it started acting weird.” Sweetums responds.

Bobo Bear tilts his head, “I can check into it later on.”

“Never mind that, did you all see what happened to the pig?” Dr. Teeth asks.

Walter shakes his head, “I don’t think we should talk about that.”

As they decide if asking what happened is a good idea, Kermit walks in with nothing in hand which is never a good sign.

“Okay, gang, we have to talk,” Kermit begins. “We won’t have a show until further notice. That’s my order, not the studio’s. I can’t tell you what exactly happened, but I will say that Piggy is in no shape to do the show. It’s our turn to assure her that she’s safe with us because we’re family.”

“Okay, but did she have a stroke or something?” Rizzo asks.

“No, but I won’t break my promise to her. I can’t do that. Please, just respect her privacy but also be there for her.”

Suddenly, Uncle Deadly stands from his seat and without explanation, heads straight towards her dressing room but not before nodding at the frog.

***

A few minutes later, the meeting ends and the gang retreats to their respective areas. Kermit makes his way back to Piggy’s dressing room and notices the door open. He peaks in and sees Deadly sitting across from her, starring at her with worry.

Kermit walks in and shuts the door behind him. “You already know, don’t you?”

Deadly looks at the frog and looks offended by the question. “Of course, I do. You know that eagle won’t be happy to hear about the show coming to a halt.”

“Well, he can go to hell.” The frog sits next to her feet. “She needs time to heal.”

Deadly was silently for a few minutes. “It could’ve gone much worse than what it did.”

Kermit sits on that thought, replaying the incident in his mind. “I know, and if I wasn’t’ there and Carl didn’t get here in time…” He pauses, not wanting to imagine the possibility of something happening to Piggy on his watch. “She would’ve been killed; she was petrified, Deadly. I would’ve been, too, but at least I’d die knowing that I was doing something right for once.”

The phantom listens to the frog and realizes two things: Kermit’s still in love with his best friend and the frog is willing to die if it means she’d be safe. “You still love her.”

Kermit’s looking out the window. “I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving her. Denise’s great and all, but all I see is Piggy. I mean, sure, Piggy’s a top-notch diva, but I know her in ways no one else does. “

“What are you doing to do about Denise if you’re still in love with my best friend, frog?” Deadly asks. “I won’t let her get hurt by you again.”

The frog sighs, agreeing with him. “Denise and I needs to have a chat.”

When night rolls around, Kermit decides to take Piggy home. The car ride’s silent as the usually outspoken pig is still reeling from the incident.

“You gonna be alright here by yourself?” He asks her.

Piggy nods. “Yeah, I just need some sleep and I’ll be better in the morning. I promise.” She smiles at the frog sadly.

The frog loses his trace of thoughts and parks the car in her driveway. He leans his head against the seat as Piggy gives him a concerned look.

“What’s wrong?” She questions with concern on her face.

He lets out a broken sigh. “You nearly got killed today, you understand that?”

Piggy nods, “So did you. Why did you do that?”

Kermit was never good with expressing his emotion and he isn’t any better today. “You think I could ever forgive myself or live with myself I just let it…” he pauses to take a deep breath. “I can’t lose any of you guys but losing you would destroy me; the breakup damn near killed me. I was hiding in the janitor closet because I couldn't shake the guilt of what I said to you.

“And I know I can never take words back, but I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have just left you out to dry like that, not in the middle of the city.”

Piggy sighs, “I didn’t leave you much of a choice. We’ve hurt each other.”

“So what?”

She sighs and presses a kiss to his cheek. “I’ll talk to you tomorrow, Kermie.”

He stares as she steps out of his car and doesn’t pull out of the driveway until she’s in the house. Then, he heads home for a needed conversation with Denise.”

As soon as Kermit steps into his home, he can smell the coconut perfume that Denise wears. He walks into the living room to see her waiting for his return.

“Hey.” He greets and sits down.

Denise looks at him. “Hey,” she sighs. “I heard what happened today. Are you alright?”

Kermit nods. “I’m okay, I promise.”

“And Piggy?”

He hesitates, “Physically she’s okay. She had a traumatic childhood. I won’t get into details because I promised her I wouldn’t.”

She takes in the information. “The studio isn’t happy with what you did. I understand why you did it, though. You’re still in love with her, Kermit. Did you really think I didn’t know about the photo of you two in your chest drawer?”

The frog doesn’t deny it. “You’re right.”

She gasps softly. “I already know. There’s a video of you holding her.”

“She needed me, Denise.”

“She needed you to hold her the way you were?” She asks.

“She couldn’t move, hell, she couldn’t even breathe; she passed out, and I made sure she didn’t hurt her head,” Kermit defends himself and Piggy. “You don’t know what she went through.”

“Like you fell asleep in her dressing room last night?”

“I wasn’t about to leave there by herself, and I won’t apologize for that.”

Denise laughs at herself. “I’m an idiot for thinking you were over her.”

He lets out a deep breath. “You’re a wonderful woman, you are.”

Denise stands up and grabs her bag. “Go get your girl back,” she presses a kiss to his forehead. “I know you can’t control who you fall for.” With that, she leaves through the front door.

Kermit looks at the clock on the wall and heads to his room for the night.

***

A FEW WEEKS LATER

The morning sun shines on Kermit’s face, waking him up. He sits up and gets ready for the day and relaxes in his recliner for an hour or two then heads down to the living room.

Suddenly, the front door unlocks from the outside and opens, revealing Piggy as she walked in and closed the door behind her.

“Hey, Piggy, how you doing?”

“I’m okay.” She answers and sits next to him.

Kermit looks down at his flippers. “I told Denise the truth.”

It’s Piggy’s turn to question, “What truth?”

He chuckles to himself and says, his voice deepens. “You really gonna make me tell you?”

Piggy clears her throat to compose herself from the deepened voice from him. “Maybe I am.”

Kermit moves to sit on his knees to be in her direct eye contact. “You and I are like polar opposites, but it attracts.”

Piggy looks away. “Kermit, you—”

“You know it’s always been you, don’t you?” He asks. “That’s why you manage to press buttons I didn’t even know I had.”

“How long have you felt like this?”

“I always have.”

#guaranteed all 17000ish yeerks in that pool were taught to hate and dominate and they could have been different if they'd been raised better

My Top Posts in 2022:

Had a dream where they tried again with the Animorphs TV show, and they made the following changes:

1.) Tobias is just never on screen in bird morph unless it's stock footage. When everyone is in the barn or outside talking, they just look up off screen/into the rafters/ into the conciently placed tree while the Tobias voiceover plays. The bits where Tobias attacks people from above are done with a muppet and fishing wire.

2.) Ax is actually a tiny puppet touched up with CGI and greenscreened in. Same goes for all the other Andalites.

3.) Rachel isn't tall. She's actually only a little taller than Cassie and Marco. She still complains about being too tall for Gymnastics to Melissa, who is an inch taller than her.

4.) Rather than age the characters up to fit the darker themes of the series, they cast a bunch of 14 year olds and then reduced the stakes and focus more on the kids hanging out. They just randomly run into Visser Three at the arcade and the amusement park and at school a lot.

5.) They have a real tiger, and try to find as many excuses to show it off as they can. When they can't figure out a reason for Jake to be in tiger morph, they come up with other ways to shoehorn it in, like the zoo thought it was okay to take a tiger to the mall for people to pet it.

6.) They finally have more than one Hork-Bajir costume to use, but they only have one Taxxon, which is played by two guys crouched under a long worm costume like a Chinese New Year parade dragon.

I think that's all I can remember.

If you acquired every animal you have ever touched on purpose in your entire life, what would be the coolest thing you could morph into?

Mine would probably be a nurse shark or a boa constrictor. The snake was from when a reptile specialist brought it to my middle school and let us pet it. The shark would be from a Pet The Shark exhibit at an aquarium.

Not gonna lie though, my favorite one (not the coolest, but definitely the most sentimental value) would be the tiny stingray I was friends with when I was 6.

Idea: The Animorphs get sent back in time because Ax was fiddling with the radio in Cassie’s barn and accidentally caused a Sario Rip. The Animorphs encounter their past selves. The past Animorphs are convinced the future Animorphs are actually Evil Animorphs (tm) from an alternate dimension. Except Cassie, who has a Timey Wimey sense, and Ax, who simply asks the other Ax <What happened this time?>

236 notes - Posted January 24, 2022

I can't tell if I shared this here, but...

[SCENE: Somewhere. JAKE and TOBIAS are waiting for the other ANIMORPHS to arrive.]

Tobias, seeing an approaching osprey: <You've got incoming. It's an idiot.>

Cassie, playfully: <Thanks Tobias. I love you too.>

Tobias: <Oh shit! Sorry! I thought you were Marco.>

Marco, flying in from another direction in his osprey morph: <This is why I keep telling her she needs to get her own bird morph! Merchandising is never going to go for it if we share morphs.>

Tobias: <And there's the idiot.>

My #1 post of 2022

Imagine going to a supermarket and finding a Taxxon with a shopping basket hanging off one arm and the Taxxon is weighing five different cantelopes with its other arms.

That is the world I want to live in.

[ rafael de la fuente, cis man, thirty ] Let’s give a warm welcome to one of Sparkwood’s finest, PEPE RODRIGO SERRANO GONZALES !! Before coming here, he once lived on the pages of THE MUPPETS. Though now they currently spend most of their time as an ACTOR and FISHERMAN. If you ask the townsfolk about what they are like, you will hear that they are CHARMING but also ARROGANT. If they had a theme song it would be CON ALTURA - ROSALIA. Let’s see how their story unravels this time.

pepe is just one of six children, one of the forgotten middle children. his house was always loud and chaotic, everyone needing to metaphorically claw their way into finding what made each one unique. and though pepe wasn’t the oldest with most promise, or the youngest who was babied, he was sure he was meant for something big. he was going to show his whole family that he could get anywhere he wanted with or without their help. this didn’t mean they didn’t love him, but there were less resources to go around for such a large family.

in school, he dived into theatre. he promised himself he was going to be a star one day. he wanted to see himself on the big screen, to have others admire and adore him. he knew he had the skill and the looks, all he needed was to refine himself. he took the plays and musicals he was in very serious, always begging him family to come see him. despite how busy and difficult it was, his mother did find a way to show up to at least one show per production. this gave pepe the hope that he really could make it.

after high school, he tried out for any auditions that he could. unable to afford going to university, he had a disadvantage. but, this did not deter pepe. he got a job as a fisherman catching local fish. it wasn’t an ideal, but he always stated that it was just a temporary side job until he hit it big. he managed to grab a few small, local roles and got involved with sparkwoods theater scene. however, he was failing to get any roles larger than that. still, he refused to give up and claimed he was a valuable actor to anyone who asked. within the last two years, he found a following online on adult websites. while most would consider it not a real job, it brings in enough income to make pepe feel validated.

will state he’s an actor before stating he’s a fisherman.

his online handle is king_prawn.

wears a lot of jewelry.

all of his online work is solo.

bisexual, but has never been with a man before.

visits his mother and the family home often, almost daily.

fluent in both spanish and english.
