#once is an accident twice is a coincidence three times is a pattern

[somnidasha]

watching teen wolf recently and i'm afraid no one told liam that he could just say i love you and he figured out that he could just break someone's nose as confession of his feelings. like yeah dude, i get it, you like him. there's no need to punch him in the face twi three times

Hokuto's on his fourth collab with WIZBLE and I'm like "So, someone at LDH is genuinely okay with Hokuto even tangentially supporting a LGBT charity."

One collab is you got it past censors.

Two collabs, there's still a chance someone wasn't paying attention to the sentence at the bottom of the website that says "WIZBLE will donate a portion of its sales to ReBit, a specified non-profit organization that aims to create a society where all children, including LGBT, can become adults as they are."

Three collabs, either the person approving this is genuinely negligent of researching companies for collaborations or they're okay with it.

Four collabs, they have to be okay with it at this point. It's been a year and a half, that is more than enough time to google WIZBLE and ReBit.

watched the Film kids discuss working together and their teacher asked “what advice would you give the other students who will take this class?”

and one of them said “don’t eat flowers”

and i was about to be like um duh don’t eat flowers

but then. i realised that i have, in fact, seen someone eat a flower during film class. clearly, at least two flowers have been eaten during film class in the last two years.

Okay so there's these two brothers who are both into cosplay and decide it would be fun to do a cosplay together, going as characters who are also brothers. Having suggested a handful to each other, both agree on making a cosplay as Boromir and Faramir to attend an upcoming convention.

And at the con they happen to make aquaintance with another two-person team of cosplayers, who are also brothers in real life and had had the exact same idea, except that they had decided on cosplaying Thor and Loki respectively. And they make friends bonding over this. Like an hour later the one cosplaying Boromir and the one dressed as Loki notice that their brothers are both missing, and neither one is answering their phone or even reading messages. So they come to the conclusion that whatever they're busy with, they're probably together.

They do end up finding the missing brothers, who were indeed being busy together, with Faramir sucking Thor cosplayer's dick. So things kind of get awkward after that, and the two brother pairs agree to go their respective ways.

The con is a three-day event and on the morning of the second day, by 10 am Faramir is fucking gone again. He has somehow found another Thor cosplayer to suck off. When asked about it, he shrugs and says that it just happened. And as they say, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, thrice is a pattern. And by the time his brother had found a fourth dude cosplaying Thor, the brother cosplaying Boromir is starting to get seriously pissed off.

He's not even mad about the dick-sucking. He knows his brother. He knows that he's got a type. He's not mad about his brother being into buff long-haired blond guys, or about him blowing through the entire goddamn convention like a fellatio tornado. It's the way that his brother keeps acting like this is some kind of a coincidence, like he just keeps stumbling upon random Thor cosplayers who just happened to be looking to get their dicks sucked. It's the dishonesty of it all that's pissing him off. So now, Boromir has to put his foot down, and he says:

"One does not simply 'walk into' more Thors."

once is an accident

twice is a coincidence

three time is a pattern

four times is....well, you get the point

[papayasector]

right. so. in a months time we have three men complimenting lando publicly on how good he smells

coulthard: “congratulations on that result and by the way, you smell spectacular. i don't know what mclaren cologne you have!”

thank you @racemelando for pointing out brundle’s comment that made me realize the whole “once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern” well. it's been three times now. which can mean nothing, but it can also mean a lot.

[crxzytogether]

Just a few examples

El's first word to Mike is no (Circumstance "When I stumbled on her in the woods... It's just simple dumb luck")

Will's first word to Mike is yes (Choice "I just walked up to you and I asked. I asked if you wanted to be my friend")

In the same episode too-

Honestly the scenes speak for themselves- (one made me giggle the other had my near tears then full on sobbing idk-)

(Bold Faced Lie) (Why are you smiling like that Michael)

Couldn't give El what she wanted

Gave Will exactly what he wanted

(another bold faced lie)

Mike's monologue for Will: unprompted, intimate, not distracting, emotional, no lies and worked :D

Mike's monologue for El: needed prompting, lots of distractions, not intimate, kind of emotional I guess, lots of lies and didn't work- D:

This isn't even all of them, and all of these ones can be talked about more, like there's so much more you can say while comparing and analyzing it's crazy-

Kinda weird that they've written the show this way that it makes me care more about the future of Will and Mike's relationship rather than Mike and El's-

Doing too much for a pairing that's not ending up together in the most beautiful way possible idk-

I've talked about parallels a few times but the ones that are really just insane to me are the ones between milven and byler- like they so very clearly contrast each other multiple times and like the outcomes are different each time and it's just wild to me that these exist in the show for everyone to see and people still deny all possibility that Mike could love Will when we're literally shown multiple times these contrasting parallels between one of Mike's love interests and his friend? bffr like this isn't a you have to ship them or else!! this is a you can't deny at least the possibility of them at this point in the show-

Endgame Couples parallels

"Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern"

The accident : Philip & Lukas

Strange! They are directly paralleling a friendship in which, one is a repressed gay and the other already accepted he was. Two "friends" who overcame homophobia and ended up together in the end. What an accident! Doesn't mean that will be the case for Mike and Will right...

The coincidence : Ron & Hermione

Hmm ok. We know HP2 was on the movie inspo board for st4. So Mike's arrival at the airport is an obvious parallel to Hermione coming back from the Hospital Wing. Hermione has no problem hugging Harry (who we expect her to end up with). But with Ron, she is unable to show him the same affection without making it awkward. Even though she shouldn't have any reason to feel this way. Just like Mike should not feel awkward about hugging his best friend. Unless, like El suggests, "he is acting weird [because] there is someone he likes".

Oh and coincidence! At the very last movie, Ron and Hermione stop repressing their feelings for each other and kiss. But nah, it's just a coincidence, right...

The pattern : Amy and Laurie

Okay if you've watched Little Women you know the Amy-Laurie-Jo love triangle reeks of Will-Mike-El.

Jo/El : The first love interest, the bold woman on a journey of self-discovery and in search of independence. Wants to be free of her need for male validation and become her own person.

Laurie/Mike : The man who feels so much love but doesn't yet realize he's putting Jo/El on a pedestal. Has a dramatic love confession moment, but because he idolizes the girl instead of truly loving her, it comes across as desperate and pleading. He doesn't yet realize his love is misplaced and his heart actually belongs to the girl's sibling.

Amy/Will : The girl's sibling (🤭). The painter, the yearner, has loved Laurie/Mike for so long but has resigned to him never loving them back. Despite this unconditional love, doesn't fear putting Laurie/Mike in his place because in this dynamic, they are on equal ground.

ST writers have confirmed they used Little Women as inspo, and there are scenes supporting this as well.

If you couldn't tell by now, Amy and Laurie end up together. Except this time, it's neither an accident nor a coincidence. This is a pattern. The message is very very clear. This emotional turmoil is going to pay off. Will and Mike aren't repressing their feelings and suffering for nothing.

Just like all these other couples, they will end up together.

[laurenairay]

so tell me to leave - W. Nylander

Summary: once is an accident, twice is coincidence, and three times is a pattern. You really needed to stop falling into bed with your ex-boyfriend William.

Happy (early) birthday @cellythefloshie – here is my entry for your birthday bingo celebrations! I managed to hit bingo too, with: one night stand, pining, quickie, ex’s to lovers, autumn birthday. I had a lot of fun writing this one, so I hope you enjoy it!

Words: 1.7k

Warnings: implied smut (off screen), poor communication, William being a flirt, William being an idiot.

Title from July, by Noah Cyrus

~

“This was a mistake.”

“Good morning to you too, käraste.”

You huffed, moving his arm away from your waist so you could get out of his bed. It took all of your strength not to roll your eyes as you saw blatantly check out your bare body.

“I’m serious, William. This can’t happen again,” you said firmly, shimmying back into your dress from last night, eyes desperately searching for your panties.

Three times would be a pattern, after all.

“Ouch, full name before coffee,” he groaned, “Just come back to bed, it’s so early.”

“Not going to happen,” you shot back, giving up on the lost panties in lieu of getting out of his apartment as quickly as possible.

You had other underwear at home – the sacrifice of one black lacy pair wasn’t the end of the world. Even if they were his your favourite. The longer you stayed here, the likelier you were to crack. You knew it. William knew it. It was a downside of having dated him for three years – he knew you far too well. Three months as exes was hardly going to change that all that quickly.

“I missed you this summer,” he murmured, propping his head up with a hand, bicep unfairly bulging.

“You looked like you were having plenty of fun in the UK, I doubt you missed me,” you snorted, picking your phone up from the floor.

The moment those words left your lips, you knew it was a mistake with how his face lit up in delight.

“And there I thought you’d deleted me from your social media,” he grinned.

Ass.

“I have,” you said dryly, “But I still follow your brother.”

His grin dimmed slightly, but he just shook his head.” You always did like Alex more than me.”

You just rolled your eyes. It wasn’t difficult to like his brother more than him right now – Alex wasn’t the one who’d left you in pieces.

“I have things to do, people to see. Or is it things to see, people to do? I always get that mixed up,” you said simply, eyes wide and innocent.

William just snorted. “You’re breaking my heart over here.”

“You broke mine first.”

He inhaled sharply, his composure visibly cracking, before a smooth grin slid over his lips. “I’ll see you soon, käraste.”

You hated how the words made your heart flutter.

~

From: DO NOT ANSWER I believe these are yours? [image]

Your jaw dropped at the message your received three days after the night you’d sworn to forget. The lost black lace panties. He’d had them all this time?

To: DO NOT ANSWER You thief. Why did you keep those?

Your eyes darted over to your coworkers, exiting out of the message thread with William while you waited for a response. The last thing you wanted was for them to see your waylaid underwear on your screen.

From: DO NOT ANSWER I didn’t keep them on purpose. Don’t you remember I shoved them in the back pocket of my jeans when I dropped to my knees by the front door? I definitely remember.

Your cheeks flushed with heat. Of course you remembered his hungry gaze looking up at you and the way he muscled his shoulders in between your thighs. How could you possibly forget that?

To: DO NOT ANSWER You are the worst. I want those back.

His quick response left you breathless.

From: DO NOT ANSWER You want them? Come and get them.

~

“You know, when I said come and get them, I didn’t necessarily mean straight after you finished work. That’s got to be a record for how fast I’ve gotten you from my front door to screaming my name,” William mused.

He just had to ruin the moment.

You lifted your head from the pillow, glaring down at him and squirming as he dug his chin into your belly button, your bare thighs framing his face like the artwork it was.

“And have you keep them like a weird trophy? No thank you,” you shot back, ignoring the jibe about the lightning-fast speed of your rendezvous.

He just cackled, smacking a kiss to your bare hip before rolling out of your hold. You shivered at the lack of body warmth, trying to keep your cool as he crawled up beside you to thump himself down on the pillow next to yours.

“I know you miss me, käraste.”

Something about the way he looked into your eyes, skin all flushed from your recent activities and a small smile on his lips – well, it left you feeling vulnerable.

“William,” was all you could murmur.

“I miss you,” he said firmly, “I miss you so much and I’m pretty sure my whole family is sick of me talking about you.”

He talked about you to his family still?

He missed you?

“You’re the one who broke up with me, remember?” you said shakily, pulling the sheets up to cover your chest.

“And I regret it every day. I was an idiot,” he said softly.

“You can’t just say these things! It isn’t fair!” you groaned, sitting upright.

William sat up next to you, running a hand through his tousled hair. “I know okay, I know. But I’m holding onto hope that you still miss me too! This is the third time we’ve fallen into bed together since we broke up. The first, when you came to pick up your belongings before I left for summer – once is an accident. But the second time three days ago? Twice is coincidence. Three times now…well, it’s a pattern. Three times when I didn’t deserve it, you still graced my bed with your presence. So I’m sorry if I’m not making things fair right now, but this is hard on me too.”

He was pining. William Nylander was pining.

Tears stung at your eyes and you turned your head away from him, but he placed a hand on your thigh over the bedsheet, staying silent. As much as your hated to a admit it, he had a point. Three times was a pattern. But was it a pattern you needed to break, after the way he treated you?

“You tossed me aside like old trash, William. You broke up with me out of nowhere, when all I’ve ever done is love you, and support you, and care for you. All because I dared to smile when Steph and Mitch joked that I’d be the one walking down the aisle next. A joke. A simple joke, because we’d been together for three years and they could see how much I loved you. But that wasn’t enough for you, or it scared you, or whatever the hell it did to make you break my heart and run away,” you said angrily, tears making your voice watery.

William’s hand tightened on your thigh briefly before it slid away, and you finally looked back at him to see tears in his own eyes.

“You’re right. I panicked. I messed up the best relationship I’ve ever had because before you I’d never thought about marriage, not seriously. And then they brought it up and it was all I could think about and I spiralled and I panicked. I’m sorry, käraste. I’ll never be able to make up for how sorry I am.”

Your lips parted in surprise at the raw emotion in his words, speechless for once. His tongue darted out to wet his bottom lip, and he took a shaky breath before smiling sadly.

“I’m sorry that I hurt you, and I’m sorry for breaking your heart, and I’m sorry that my insecurities and panic took control. I know that I don’t deserve your forgiveness, let alone even having you here right now, but I don’t know what I can do to convince you that I mean it. I love you. I love you and I miss you,” he murmured.

He loved you.

He loved you and he missed you.

Fresh tears spilled down your cheeks at the honesty in his words, every ounce of him genuine and soul-destroying. A whimper tore from your throat at the very thought of him still loving you, and it was all you could do to clutch at his shoulders as he leaned in and pressed his lips to yours in the gentlest of kisses, barely able to catch your breath as he rested his forehead against yours.

“I’m sorry.”

“I know you are,” you managed to choke out.

William smiled sadly, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead before leaning backwards to look into your eyes properly.

“Is there any chance that you can forgive me, and give me a second chance? Even the slightest sliver of hope?” he asked, chewing his bottom lip.

“I don’t know if I could cope with that kind of heartbreak again,” you said hesitantly.

He let out a shaky breath but nodded. “I understand.”

If ever there was a time to trust your gut, now was it.

“It would take a lot for me to trust you again.”

His lips parted, a stunned expression seeping across his face.

“And we shouldn’t sleep together until I feel like you won’t break my heart again.”

“You mean…”

He trailed off, eyes wide as he ran his hand over his hair.

You winced. “If that’s a deal breaker then-”

“No no no you’ve given me hope, don’t stop now,” William grinned, making you huff out a laugh, “It’s your birthday next week right? Do you have any plans yet?”

“I don’t have any plans yet, no. Why?” you said, raising an eyebrow.

Where was he going with this?

“Let me take you out for dinner. There’s this great Thai place that’s just opened up. They use seasonal produce and I’ve heard their fall menu is incredible. There’s no-one I’d rather go with, other than you. So let me take you out for your birthday, please?”

“You want to take me out for my birthday?” you asked, surprised.

“I want to take you out on a date. It just so happens that I can spoil you for your birthday at the same time. I want to treat you just like you deserve, käraste, just as I should’ve always treated you. And you deserve the world.”

How could you say no to that?

“You only get one second chance,” you warned him, unable to stop the smile that spread over your lips.

“That’s all I need. I’m going to make this up to you, I promise,” he grinned.

Fallen Angel | Grocery Delivery

AO3

The knock at the door came as a surprise.

Opening it you found several grocery bags filled with items. Lifting the receipt from one of the bags you confirmed the address matched, and the order listed S. Riley. You know Simon’s last name was Riley. Would he be home soon? He typically messaged you a heads up to avoid, well you don’t know, maybe awkwardness? You never had men over for sexual reasons, but a group of friends for wine nights and games wasn’t out of the question.

Sending off a quick text you let Simon know his food arrived.

You got a message back almost immediately.

>Won’t be home for another week. Can you eat anything that will go bad?

Looking over everything as you unbagged it and placed it on the counter you were confused. Almost everything he bought was perishable, would need to be used in about a week and would feed you for at least a week and a half if you stretched it.

<Sure, I guess?

>Thanks.

The shop was almost bringing in a profit, a few more weeks of eating the left overs from the day and you would be able to start paying yourself more than the amount that covered rent, and car expenses.

You hadn’t been suspicious the first two times; shit happens and getting reassigned after being ready to go home was pretty normal for Simon.

But the third time? Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but three times? That’s a fucking pattern.

<Stop ordering food for me.

>Something wrong?

“Motherfucker you know something is wrong, you can’t just keep doing this!” You growled down at your phone.

>Watch me.

<If you put cameras up in our flat, I will smother you on your next leave.

>Better men than you have tried.

<*Lord of the Rings Meme* “I am no man.”

>No cameras but I could feel the anger radiating off my phone.

Pursing your lips you decided to leave him on read, let him suffer. Fucker.

Hours later at the shop a message pops through on your phone.

>You struggle to let people help you.

<Help is asked for, this is intrusive.

You set your phone down to greet a customer. When you returned there was one more message.

>You don’t have to earn help.

A hot spike of emotion ripped through you. Fighting back tears and nausea all at once you stepped into the cooler to cry. Sometimes having an observant man for a roommate fucking sucked.

tim, oliver, and ryan are literally a bunch of liars who lie

just thinking about how - and correct me if i’m wrong - they didn’t say anything about buck’s bisexual awakening until 7x04 aired. that’s why they spent the whole episode focusing on buck’s jealousy over his “best friend,” because buck revealing he wanted “tommy’s” attention and kissing a man for the first time in his life at the end is supposed to be a big surprise for the audience

same with ryan talking about eddie’s relationship with marisol like they’re going to last in an interview - either because he genuinely didn’t know about kim at that moment or because he knew but couldn’t say anything for obvious reasons

we’re not supposed to know more than the characters at any given time in the story, and tim strikes me as someone who hates being figured out. that’s probably why he ���killed” bobby and separated buddie for these three episodes before 8x17 - to completely reverse the audience’s expectations

and of course, they’re not going to reveal anything in their interviews, because then what’s the point? they’re constantly playing coy or straight-up lying

and i really can’t with tim’s “it really wasn’t intentional,” especially with the new 8x17 episode

at one point, there are so many “which could mean nothings” that they turn into “it’s not nothing.” (and that applies to bobby’s “death,” too.) like, i can’t actually believe someone could write that many unintentional parallels and references. i could do a whole study on seasons 7 and 8. how does that saying go? once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. a hundred times is definitely a sign

if he doesn’t deliver buddie and alobby canon after everything he put in the script… he’s going to destroy himself, because i don’t think the audience will be happy with that. we’ve already seen how mad everyone can get. he can’t keep playing with this will-they-won’t-they forever, and seasons 7 and 8 tell me we’re finally getting a clear confirmation that “they 100% will, just in season 9” in the season finale (along with the bobby reveal. i’m never closing on alobby!!!)

also, literally, what could be a more true and authentic development for one bisexual and one gay-coded character who can’t keep any romantic relationship in their life but act like an already married couple and perfectly complement each other, hmm?

my brain just refuses to believe that they all don’t know what they’re doing. no one is that oblivious. and ryliver recently doing interviews together confirms buddie canon for me

Thy Kingdom Airways

Attention all passengers, please fasten your seatbelts. We are preparing for take-off. This time our analytic journey will revolve around planes as a recurring motif in Good Omens 2 and possibly Good Omens 3. Since a part of this post will add some new crumbs of information about the ongoing production to the discourse, please make sure to spoiler tag your replies accordingly.

We’re starting literally at the beginning, AND YES, I’m painfully aware that this is my third time breaking apart this particular scene from the new title sequence (Peter Anderson, I’m in your walls). We’re witnesses to the Second Coming brought to us via Thy Kingdom Airways.

And this big silver plane is actually a part of some good old — literally 20-year-old — spoilers from the never published Good Omens sequel:

Director Douglas Mackinnon personally chose the poster for A Matter of Life and Death / Stairway to Heaven (1946) to appear here as well. The movie itself is referenced multiple times in both seasons of the show, but what interests us here is the fact that its MC is a British pilot who dies in a plane crash.

He gets another chance at life due to an angel’s error and eventually must argue for his life before a celestial court, hoping to prolong his fledgling romance with a radio operator who shared his last moments on Earth over the airwaves.

Douglas is also responsible for the movie playing in the background of The Resurrectionist pub scene in S02E06 — The Spirit of St. Louis (1957), a biopic of Charles Lindbergh, the pilot who made the first nonstop solo flight from New York to Paris.

To finish the transatlantic flight, Lindbergh has to stay awake for 33 hours (33 happens to be biblically significant, i.a. as the age of the crucified Jesus). He succeeds by talking to a fly that had buzzed into the cockpit and reminiscing to it about his life (via flashbacks).

Once an accident, twice a coincidence, three times a pattern, right? So there’s a plane. And a character traveling through time and space to navigate some dangerous circumstances. Looking for help or… clues? The danger is either their own feelings or something more ominous here.

Flash-forward to 2025. It might be completely off, but considering the overall panic I think it’s worth mentioning that I found some crumbs of information suggesting a Good Omens film shoot with a certain amount of angels at an airport right now.

I was casually screening the extras’ profiles for Good Omens 3 the other day, as one does to learn that e.g., one of them is a professional contortionist (really!) and after a while, it came to my attention that a few of the profiles repeated mentions of “angels”, “2nd unit angels”, and “airport” across a few days in late February. Interestingly, some of them also listed sword fighting skills and law enforcement background underneath.

The implications seem obvious to anyone familiar with the plot of the unpublished Good Omens sequel and what I just shared above: please take a minute of your time to consider Aziraphale in a new suit, new hairstyle, a headset, and surrounded by at least one unit of angelic bodyguards in dark glasses.

Now, the filming dates in question consist of days and months only, so technically could also refer to their Good Omens 2 work since some (not all) of the extras were also employed by the show at the time. And Heaven’s corridors scenes could be shot at an airport instead of a studio, right? But the thing is, the background angels seen on screen in S2… don’t seem to match the profiles I found.

A perfunctory social media screening revealed one mention of Boeing 737 interior scenes filmed this month in the area, at Dunsfold Aerodrome. Is this connected? No idea, but if at least some of my speculations are correct, a follow-up exterior shoot at an airport would make sense.

Another interesting crumb that may or may not be related in some way is this photograph from the set shared by Guy Spangler, a professional dressing props specialist and armourer on Good Omens 3. Not quite the big silver plane of Thy Kingdom Airways we’re waiting for, but still!

Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern, sir!

Hey y'all just a little bot psa!

Obviously we all know that Tumblr is shit with managing bots. but this is a bit of a bigger issue. Cuz this isn't just a robot posting naked people in the fandom tags, now they're outright stealing posts.

Two examples are below, but I saw another a couple days ago of another bot stealing fanart. once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but three times is a pattern.

Take a look at the posts and tags, then their posters and times posted. In case it wasn't obvious, @/leggalese and @/aceattorneygamesfan are the original posters of both posts, with these bots copying them word-for-word, tag-for-tag a little bit later. What makes it worse is that leggalese's post was their own fanart. like, they MADE that. with their own hands. and then some bot swooped in and took it.

So I guess this is just a PSA to double check the poster of the fanart you're reblogging, and also for artists to watermark their stuff when possible so nobody can truly "take" it. It helps that @/leggalese is pretty popular in this fandom, so I recognized their artstyle, but it isn't always easy to tell with smaller artists.

afaik, this has only happened with image posts, but look out for bots copying textposts too.

once would be an accident.

twice would be a coincidence.

three times is a pattern.
