sleepovers | noel gruber (hc's)

pairing: Noel Gruber x nonbinary!reader (platonic)

warnings: implied/mentioned homophobia, mentions of therapy, mentions of crying

word count: 306

fandom: Ride the Cyclone

request: anonymous on tumblr: May I request a Platonic Noel gruber x non-binary reader sleepover hcs? Make sure to take your time!

A/N: i haven't rewatched rtc in a while so this might be ooc. sorry anon i read 'take your time' and took it extremely literally, this has been in my drafts for months 😭

Uranium isn't exactly the most queer friendly town

so when you and Noel become friends you stick to each other like glue

he'd always been told to dial his queerness down, and you were no stranger to bigots trying to tell you what your gender was

but when you two are together, neither of you feel like you have to hide who you are

you two definitely do silly fashion shows and makeovers together

karaoke sessions are a must.

he'll gush about the guys he likes for hours if you let him

you take turns watching movies of your choice each sleepover

but depending on how long you stay up for (and how long it takes for Noel's mother to take his laptop away on account of it being too loud), sometimes you take turns choosing multiple movies throughout the night

when you sleep over at his, his mum always makes sure you don't sleep in the same bed (she doesn't think you're gonna do anything inappropriate together, she just doesn't think it's appropriate for kids your age to sleep in the same bed)

but you do anyway

Noel puts the spare mattress in his room for his mum to see but you rarely use it

Noel is always the first to fall asleep, and the last to wake up somehow

you two do face masks and skin care routines

not properly of course, you use literally whatever skin care product or mask you can find and make do with what you have

at around the 3 am mark is when you two begin confessing your darkest secrets to each other in an impromptu therapy session type of way

it almost always ends with both of you in tears consoling each other, before the 3 am sleepover energy kicks in and you're both cackling at nothing

[neverendingcarnival]

Mischa: Noel will you be my boyfriend

Noel: Of course

Mischa: *pulling out a ring* Keep that same energy because I have another question

Ride the Cyclone's Ableism Runs so Much Deeper than I Realised

Hi friends! Its been a while since I spoke about Ride the Cyclone, because it was a shitshow and I quite frankly wanted nothing to do with it anymore.

But I am a chronic ruminator, and its midnight and I am currently in a pain flare, so I have found myself ruminating on RTC. In my head, I jokingly introduced Ocean as "Ablest Extraordinaire!" - which led me to realise that while Ocean is the only one who is explicitly ableist, the others are inherently complicit in her ableism, as they stand by and do literally nothing about it. And they were most likely the exact same while they were all alive.

And then I had the realisation:

The choir only deem Ricky worth listening to - his story worthy of being heard - after he is magically cured of his disabilities and is all of a sudden able-bodied. Now that his existence is palatable to the ableds.

Isn't this an amazing message to be sending to disabled kids? (/s) That in order to even be listened to they should suppress their access needs (by ditching the mobility aids and/or forcing themselves to communicate verbally).

And this isn't just a mentality expressed in the show (and by extension, by Jacob Richmond/Brooke Maxwell), it is one that is expressed by the teams that produce this musical. Exhibit A: McCarter theatre. They hire yannick-robin, but try to dictate which mobility aids he uses, and when, in order to try and make his disabilities more palatable to them and their target audience. And the moment yannick experiences a symptom of said disability (*gasp* shocking, I know, that a consistent denial of one's access needs leads to intensified symptoms) that doesn't fit with the carefully curated image of disability they want to portray, they throw him aside and deem him too "inconsistent".

Fucking pathetic, if you ask me.

To any disabled folks reading this:

You deserve to be heard, as you are. Tell your story however the fuck you see fit. You don't need to force yourself to be palatable to the ableds. They need to pull their heads out of their asses and grow the fuck up, quite frankly. And don't let anyone diminish your access needs - you deserve to have equal access in EVERYTHING. I love you all xx

That's all for today :)

Okay real question now

[iliketodrawig]

Just read a perfectdolls fanfic in which Ocean goes to Penny's after a fight with her parents and then they go to the fair and the accident happens and all that jazz and when Ocean sees that Penny doesn't remember anything, she switches her faith with her (aka, she is decapitated instead) and PENNY WATCHES HOW OCEAN IS FUCKING MURDERED (CAUSE, YES, OCEAN SURVIVES THE ACCIDENT BUT THEN A MAN FUCKING KILLS HER IN FRONT OF HER GF) AND WHEN PENNY IS IN THE HOSPITAL RECOVERING SHE SEES HOW FATHER MARCUS HAS THE HEART ATTACK AND FUCKING DIES TOO

Btw I forgot to mention that Father Marcus is HER FUCKING FATHER IN THIS FIC

Give the girl a break istG

RTC-AU : No one makes it back

I haven't seen any ideas for this yet so here's my two cents :) part two

Summary:

The choir doesn't make it in time. It's just too late... Karnak dies before he's able to bring Jane back to life... Here's their life afterwards...

"I'd gladly take my 17 years over nothing... It should be her.." Ocean said, taking a step forward. The rest of the choir joined quickly but it was too late.

Karnak began to jolt rapidly, causing the kids to flinch and band together. The robot mumbled as he died, "Be sure to Ride the Cyclone.."

The choir stared in disbelief and utter silence. No one dared to speak a word or even breathe.

"Why..." Jane mumbled as her voice wavered, a tear streaking down her cheek.

"I.. Umm..."

For once, Ocean was at a loss for words. She couldn't make out a coherent anything. She was just stuck in shock.

Mischa tried to place a hand on Jane's shoulder to comfort her but no words came out of his mouth. He swallowed back the pain at this new development. He then placed a hand on Noel's shoulder.

Noel looked over at the Ukrainian boy and took a shakey breath in.

"I can't believe this.."

He muttered under his breath and leaned a tad closer to Mischa.

Ricky glanced at Jane and took a step closer to her, placing a hand on her other shoulder.

"It's alright... This means we'll all get to stay together for a little longer now.."

He spoke softly, trying to keep the mood up a little.

"How could this be alright?!" Ocean snapped before pointing at a small door. It was besides Karnak.

"Door.. There's a door!" She exclaimed and looked at everyone," I'm sorry, but I think that could be the way out."

They looked at each other hesitantly.

"It could be a way of getting out of here.."

"I will go check it out, for safety.." Mischa spoke softly and let go of the two, making his way to the door.

Slowly, he opened the door and glanced around. He took a step out, leaving for a moment.

Ricky hugged Jane gently as she began to sob into his chest. He patted her back and everyone else tried to comfort her.

"You guys got to see this..." Mischa said after a few moments of being gone. The choir looked at each other before walking out the door and into.. Uranium?

Except, it was but it wasn't at all.... It was like the town that they knew and loved. However, it was grey scaled and silent. There was no body there either. They all looked around in bewilderment but stayed close to each other. What was going on? Where were they actually? They saw the fair and the crashed Cyclone. But also, there was a small dirt path from the crash site. "Should we follow the path?" Constance said softly, keeping her hand intertwined with Ocean's. "Yeah.. Yeah.. I think we should. I don't recognize it from Uranium." Ocean spoke softly and gave Constance's hand a squeeze. The rest of the choir agreed softly. At the head of the group, it was Ocean and Constance. Ocean was still the "leader" and no one questioned it just yet. After them, it was Jane and Ricky. Ricky comforted her as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Jane had fallen silent. At the end of the group, it was Noel, and then Mischa. Noel was a step ahead of Mischa, as the Ukrainian tried to stay in the back to keep the others safe and in his view. But overall, they were still all very closely knit. While walking down the small dirt path, they made it through a small path in the forest. But after a silent agreement, they continued forth. Eventually, the choir stumbled across a rather large looking house. "I don't remember this from Uranium.." Ocean spoke softly and Constance nodded quickly. "I don't think this existed in Uranium." Noel said, crossing his arms and looked along the large house. "Someone knock on the door.." Ricky said softly after a beat of silence as they had halted on the porch. They looked amongst each other, but before anyone said anything, someone came out of the house. It was an old man with a big smile. "I've been waiting for you all to show up. You are late you know," the man chuckled softly and stepped aside. Ocean opened her mouth to say something but was quickly cut off by the man. "Now, this house is yours. Do with it what you will, but please don't destroy it... I've left a notebook for you all with all the info you need," He smiled at the children and put a big floppy hat on and grabbed a bag, seemingly out of nowhere," Well then, I'm off!" The man walked past the children, not giving them a moment to speak and just dissapeared off into the woods. "What just happened..?" ___ Extra notes! Let me know if y'all liked and want to see more! I have a few ideas how to continue this but it'll be if i get around to writing or people like it or not! : D

FORGOT TO POST THE UPDATE WHOOPS

[creapysummer]

look, I know you said ask about Six of Crows but…like…do you have any sickfic-related headcanons for Ride the Cyclone, cause I’ll take all of ‘em :)

OH MY GOD YESYESYES

sickfics are my most pleasured guilty pleasure i desperately need more about them in this fandom🙏🙏 (also nischa is my main rtc ship so there may be hints towards that oops)

-ocean is so annoying to take care of when she's sick she blatantly refuses to rest until she literally cannot keep going

-often times this results in constance trailing after her all but begging ocean to accept help

-noel is also kind of annoying but in a self pitying woe is me way also there's like a 50% chance that he will also refuse help simply because of his pride

-he will go from "fuck off i'm fine." to "i'm dying." in the span of two minutes

-he also cannot stand being alone when he's sick because he needs the distraction so he always has his mother or one of the members of the choir around

-he's also extremely emotional in contrast to being usually pretty apathetic, he will yell at you or just like. start crying. without warning so nobody actually wants to be around him

-mischa is the opposite

-he isolates himself from everyone so as to not be seen in a moment of weakness (talia is the one person he will talk to unless noel is around)

-he just falls off the grid all his social media followers are like ?? because he usually posts stuff every few hours

-ricky just stays home and goes online all day when he's sick

-he won't blatantly tell anyone he's sick but if they ask he won't deny it

-unless it's funny and ironic

-"you weren't at school yesterday, were you sick or something?" "no i was on the moon." "okay then..?"

-penny DISAPPEARS without a word

-she doesn't answer any texts, she just vanishes

-when she gets back she acts like nothing ever happened

-"dude where were you??" "what are you talking about? :)"

-constance is the only one who can be normal

-she stays home but she tells the choir she's not going to be at school so they (ocean) don't worry

-she actually takes care of herself like she should so she's usually back a day later

STILL HAVE THIS FUCKER SAVED

SAME HOMIE IVE JUST BEEN WAITING FOR MY OPPORTUNITY IT WAS TOO FUNNY TO NOT XD

[kingeorgey]

oh rtc buds !! did i mention that i’m the user who tiffany tatreau responded to on tiktok after flirting with the alliance theatre social media rep ?

[janedoebutimnotdead]

If I wrote a fanfic detailing how the choir still has the wounds that killed them in the warehouse and they hurt like SHIT and basically Karnak is torturing them with his choreographies, would anyone care?

[themetaphorgirl]

So I wrote a couple of other things for other fandoms during my hiatus and posted two of them!!

help me hold onto you

This is for Six of Crows/Shadow and Bone, I read SOC during my honeymoon cruise and got OBSESSED. Kaz’s backstory is so tragic that I had to write something. I’ve also started working on an AU fic, and a very whumpy bit of nonsense with Kaz and Nina because I love their chaotic sibling vibes.

be safe, she said, be good

I can safely say that in a million years I NEVER thought I would write something for Ride the Cyclone, but here we are! I can fully blame and/or thank Maeve for this though, we both love Mischa and his tragic backstory so much, and this literally just spilled out of me in a single writing session. But am I working an entire fix it hurt/comfort fic where all six kids survive the Cyclone crash? Absolutely I am.

And of course, I’m working on Patron Saint, and if I can manage it there will be a new chapter on Thursday!
