there were a couple days between the 2009 memorial cup and the draft when everything was perfect

Interviewer to Kent Parson: Can you tell me what your relationship with Jack Zimmermann is?

Kent: I’m Mr. Zimmermann right-hand arm. Man. I’m Mr. Zimmermann everything. Im his confidant, his best friend. His silly rabbit.

Interviewer: His what?

Kent: His silly rabbit.

Interviwer: His silly rabbit?

Kent: Yes.

Interviewer: Is that what he calls you?

Kent (lying through his teeth): Yes🥰😌.

the mythology of the parse update in year 4 haunts me to this day man. how this is not by any means closure, but kent still wants some semblance of it in his life. how the real threshold is to have a conversation with jack but he's tried in the past and has always ended in catastrophe - and so jack's college boyfriend will have to do. how talking to bitty allows kent enough distance to still treat jack as a friend and atone for some of his mistakes, which is something he might still be unable to do in front of jack himself. how this is the first step, and by no means the last (!!!)

growing pains

(bitty/parse, rated E, posting weekly)

Maybe moving to Las Vegas right after his breakup with Jack wasn’t the best move for Bitty, but here he is: lonely and sad, and not really sure what to do with his life. Luckily, there is someone who knows everything there is to know about being heartbroken, lonely and sad in Vegas.

or, as i like to call it: “lmao this kid gets his heart broken by Zimms then moves to Vegas and has the audacity to tell me idk what I’m talking about? baby, been there done that!!!!! shut your pretty mouth and lemme help you” - kent parson, probably

featuring: a heavy zimbits breakup :(, lardo & bitty being besties, slow burn falling in love, kent parson and his million snapbacks, the las vegas aces being a bunch of good eggs, excessive texting, lots of vegan baked goods, kent parson's cat (whatever you call her), a little hockey violence, and an eventual happily ever after

i have 5 out of a total of 8 chapters written and ready to go and i’m steadily working on the final 3, so while this fic is not finished, i intend to update every tuesday, meaning we’ll be all done just in time for kenny’s birthday!! here we gooooooooo:

chapter one: an oat latte and a carrot cupcake to go

au in which bitty (through a series of fortunate and unfortunate events) is the president of the frat that lives next door to the haus and he gets so sick of how unkempt the haus' lawn is, that he takes his lawnmower and in the dead of night mows the words "mow your fucking grass" into the lawn. jack, the hockey team's chosen and unwilling representative, goes over to try and mediate with bitty ("we don't have a lawnmower, so, uh, we just can't cut the grass"), but the only result is that the pie that bitty serves him whilst they're having this argument discussion has the words "buy a fucking lawnmower then" cut into the crust.

jack is blown away by a) how cute this frat president is and b) the sheer dedication and decides to do something similar in return (but only after buying a lawnmower and actually cutting the haus' grass). he figures out when bitty's figure skating practice is and goes out immediately after the zamboni to skate the words "we bought the fucking mower" into the ice.

later that afternoon bitty comes over to the haus with a pie, albeit with no message baked into it this time, and apologies for the passive-aggressiveness. and jack, being the occasionally smooth fucker he is, says "well, you could make up for it with a date"

Tourniquet

When there’s nothing left to do I will pull you close and wrap my arms around you No, I won't let you slip, I'll be your tourniquet - Tourniquet, jeremy messersmith

Jack said he was okay but Kent knew he wasn’t.

He watched him and saw when he zoned out, saw when he panicked, saw when he couldn’t breathe.

The draft was only a couple of months away and Kent was sure that was what caused Jack to freak out. But whenever he tried to talk about it, Jack shut him down.

So Kent decided to love him silently and hold him together even though Jack denied he needed it.

When Jack spaced out at a party, Kent distracted him with a bathroom makeout session.

When Jack got that panicked look in conversation, Kent changed the topic to something safer.

When Jack couldn’t breathe, Kent got his anxiety medication.

It worked — until it didn’t.

Until Jack slipped away and took too many.

Until Jack was on the floor and he wasn’t breathing at  all and Kent had to call an ambulance and they wouldn’t even let him in.

And then Jack wouldn’t let him in.

Kent didn’t blame him, though. He had promised — if only to himself — to keep Jack together and he had failed.

Kent let go.

I made a Parse/Zimms mix

It’s not exactly a shipping mix, it’s pretty canon-compliant from what we know about their past relationship in the comic, but I’m pretty proud of this mix so give it a listen if you’d like! 

[Link to 8tracks]

[Link to Spotify]

Song list under the cut

1) Teenager In Love by Neon Trees

I don't wanna go out I just wanna sit inside my bedroom And obsess over everything I say to you Young love is like a roller coaster You couldn't pay me to ride if you tried Teenager, teenager, t-t-t-teenager

2) Daft Pretty Boys by Bad Suns 

There's one thing about me that you should know That I can't help from speaking my mind I don’t like you You look so pretty from afar I despise you Why are you so fucking perfect on the outside?

3) Don’t Take the Money by Bleachers 

Will we fight, stay up late? In my dreams I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shave my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just sit (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)

4) Glory and Gore by Lorde 

You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't) Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure) It's clear that someone's gotta go We mean it, but I promise we're not mean

And the cry goes out (ha) They lose their minds for us, and how it plays out (ha) Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood

5) Run Run Run by Celeste Buckingham 

All is fair in love and war but all I do is love you more. Our love is crazy, unhealthy but I can't keep from you baby. So you said: "Why even bother?"

Set this love, set me on fire how I wish. You'd be the victim So you'd see

Just how I'm feelin

6) Poison by Beyonce 

You ain't right, take me high Then that high it subsides and my body flat-lines Then you come to revive; wait, wait, wait, I'm alive But how long will it last? Will it all come crashing down? How many doses am I needing now? What's the prognosis? Will you be around? Or am I just another victim of an assassin that broke my heart down

7) Hoodie by Hey Violet 

I used to put my hand in your pockets (holding on) The smell of your cologne is still on it (but you're still gone) Slip it on over my shoulders Someone I'll never get over Makes me feel a little bit closer to you

8) Hate That You Know Me by Bleachers 

So I keep talking about eighteen 'Cause I can't let go of the same dream Rubber band in my past time And you know what? I hate it!Sometimes I hate that you know me so well (so well) Sometimes I, I hate that you know me so well (and I hate ya) Some days I, I wish that I wasn't myself (No) No luck! (No) And I hate that you know me so well

9) Break My Heart by Hey Violet 

It's like a drug, I can't say no (break my heart) On paradise, I overdose (break my heart) I'm curious to live and learn (break my heart) So light me up and let me burn

Tell me you've never loved me Tell me that it wasn't real Just say you've found somebody else I wanna know the way it feels (break my heart) Tell me you've never loved me Tell me it was just a lie I wanna feel the pain I wanna see the light

10) All Falls Down by Alan Walker, Noah Cyrus 

What's the point in saying that when you know how I'll react? You think you can just take it back, but shit just don't work like that You're the drug that I'm addicted to, and I want you so bad Guess I'm stuck with you, and that's that

ok heres my justitfication for the omgcp mlp assignments do not argue with me i am right and listen i never would have put this shit into the world if fulbright had simply given me money.

anyway:

twilight sparkle ransom: test anxiety coral reef mode. lives in a library and regularly pulls allnighters researching. done.

spike holster: remember the chadification of spike in the time skip? yeah? great. moving on.

pinkie pie bitty: baker, cheerful, probably adhd, hides emotions under acts of service for others and a happy facade

fluttershy jack: specifically freshman jack. just-met-shitty jack. social anxiety, not a fan of the spotlight, big Please Leave Me Alone vibes, people love to trample their boundaries.

rainbow dash shitty: energy levels. hype levels. jocks. rainbow dash is also definitely in charge of tub juice recipes or whatever the pony equivalent is.

applejack dex: farm, lobster boat, same diff.

rarity nursey: artistes searching for authenticité. also rarity and applejack bickering parallels to dex and nursey bickering.

i think thats all? anyway dan kramer fund my research 2022.

post seven sentences from your current wip and then tag seven others.

I was tagged by @gaydereknurse (thanks jo) and this is from the next chapter of my Guernsey au How Delightful If That Were True

(email from Jack to Tater)

PS: Kent doesn’t write emails. He calls because he’s as stubborn as the day is long and refuses to believe that in this day and age there is somewhere in America that doesn’t actually get at least decent cell service. 

So inevitably he calls and we shout back and forth at each other with about 70% of the conversations being “WHAT?” and “DID YOU HEAR ME?” 

The other 30% is all the same: I should come back home and marry him. I politely disagree. In writing.

I am much less upset about it than I would have been a month ago.

I'm tagging anyone with a WIP who wants to because its fun but specifically @sincerelyreidburke because I'm nosy about the crickets literally always

He’s 9 years old when he first says his name. “Mom?” “Hmm?” “What was my name gonna be? If I was a boy?” “Kent. Why do you ask, honey?” His mom replies, her back to him at the stove. “Kent?” He says, wrinkling his nose. “That’s an old person name.” “We were gonna call you Kenny until you grew into it, honey.” His mom smiled, turning around to face him at the kitchen table. “I can live with Kenny,” Kent says, returning to his homework.
