Part 2 of 2

Paring: Seth Macfarlane (yes you read that right you bitches that man is hot) x fem!Reader

Plot: After years of being together, Y/N and Seth broke up. She knows that it is all based on a lie, but will he be able to come clean before it's too late?

Read Part 1 here

Y/N leans her back against the cold door and slowly slides down, and judging the small vibration she understands that Seth does the same thing.

"Listen.", he starts speaking and clears his throat:" I'm sorry. For everything." Y/N who is shaking her head in disbelief feels how hot tears emerge in her eyes. "I know that this doesn't fix anything." After that, silence falls upon the hallway, and for a moment Seth thinks that maybe Y/N has left, maybe she went back to bed. After all, he doesn't even know if she's alone or not. Perhaps she has someone waiting in her bedroom and he is just one minute away from receiving a really bad black eye. His stomach turns at the thought of it… but if that meant he could talk to Y/N one last time, fuck, he would risk a broken jaw for that. A sigh leaves his lips.

"Then why are you here?" At that, he perks up:" What?" "Well, if you know that apologizing is pointless, then why are you in front of my door at 2 in the morning?", she asks, and even though she wants to sound sharp and cold a certain amount of softness leaves her tongue. When it came to Seth, she understands that she will always and forever hold some gentleness for him in her heart. Y/N wonders if he knows that too.

"Honestly, I have no idea.", he confesses, a small smile forming on his lips:" I- I think that I blacked out about an hour ago because I can't find my car keys, and if I didn't come here with my car- I don't know how I did it." He hears a small chuckle coming from the other side of the door.

"You were right by the way.", he adds:" I was lying to you. I never stopped loving you once, not for one second. And the last few months without you have been so painful." "Yeah, I know."

The quiet that follows is suffocating. Seth knows that he is in no position to demand anything from her. He broke up with her, not the other way around. He fucked up. This was on him. "And I thought that I could forget about you. I really-.", he chuckles dryly and shakes his head in disbelief:" I really thought that I could pretend that I wasn't lying. Every day, whenever my mind drifted to you I stopped whatever I was doing to remind myself that what I did was the right choice. But when I saw you yesterday, I realized that there is no one else on this planet that I would rather want to spend my life with. And I know this is so desperate, but fuck, maybe I came here to ask you to take me back."

The final sentence leaves his lips as a whisper, and parts of him were hoping that she didn't hear him. Maybe this was a dream, maybe in reality he was at home in his bed with his cats.

He closes his eyes for a second. Fuck, he is so pathetic. But then he can sense how the door he is leaning against moves. Seth quickly turns around, and when he looks up he makes eye contact with Y/N. His Y/N.

"Hi."; he says, and slowly stands up. He really wishes that he could have said something else instead, but the words are all getting stuck in his throat. "Hey.", Y/N replies, while a soft smile plays on her lips.

"Hi."

me taking american dad and trying to turn this dumb kinda simplistic sitcom into an edgy angsty mess through my hcs

[andsheloved]

🎵& “on the subject of heart” please! congratulations on the milestone!

hello there my anonymous friend!! thank you so much!! i'm sending all my best wishes your way!! mwauh!! without any further ado, here's a mini playlist!!

"golden" - lady a (contemporary country)

"i loved you once in silence" - seth macfarlane (show tunes??)

"when he sees me" - sara bareilles (show tunes)

"people will say we're in love" - rosemary clooney & bing crosby (show tunes)

"my foolish heart" - margaret whiting (jazz)

reasons why under the cut!

'golden' - this song is just generally about being sort of swept off of your feet by a person that just kind of strolls into your life somewhat unexpectedly, which in my opinion, is very much sherlock in this one!! i think he's just kind of shocked he could even experience something as strong as his feelings he has for you, and in a world that seems so horrible and in need of saving, to him, 'you are golden'!

'i loved you once in silence' - this one does get a bit angsty towards the end, bUT, the beginning and just the idea of sherlock silently loving you from afar :')

'when he sees me' - sherlock is always so critical of others and reads everyone so well, i can totally see this song in the readers perspective!! like the fear of sharing your feelings with him because you're afraid he'll just dig into you so harshly like he does with everyone else, (spoiler alert, he's in love with everything about you!)

'people will say we're in love' - TOP TIER SHERLOCK VIBE SONG!!!! INSANE OF THEM TO WRITE A SONG ABOUT HIM!!!! (i joke, but also...) sherlock's fear of being found out by mycroft is immense in this song, and also, this song is simply adorable.

'my foolish heart' - sherlock (at least to me) would 100% call his own feelings foolish, and the lyric 'there's a line between love and fascination' i mean, that's sherlock right there!!

i hope you enjoy these my friend!! thank you so much for the ask!! i send you all the best wishes!! mwauh!!

check out "on the subject of hearts" here!

join in on my 100 follower celebration!

Family Guy: 10 Funniest Running Gags, Ranked | ScreenRant

Just like any sitcom, Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy has a number of running gags. It’s a generally inconsistent show, because it’s been canceled twice and came back with a slightly different tone each time.

RELATED: 9 Best Family Guy Guest Stars, Ranked

At first, it was a vain rip-off of The Simpsons, then it came back as a dark alternative to The Simpsons with more graphic violence and sexual content, and finally, it has settled on being a meta, self-parodying shadow of its former self. So, for any running joke to stick through all that, it must be pretty endearing. Here are Family Guy’s 10 Funniest Running Gags, Ranked.

10 The chicken fights

Peter has had so many long, unwieldly fights with Ernie the Giant Chicken now that some fans are sick of them. As soon as they see Ernie giving Peter an angry look, they roll their eyes and settle in for five minutes that have nothing to do with the plot.

However, the writers have found creative ways to escalate the fights over the years. Now, the two will go onto a space shuttle as it launches or survive the explosion of an oil rig. And it’s also absurdly delightful to see Peter dust himself off, return home, and continue whatever conversation he was having before.

9 Brian’s novel

In the first few seasons of Family Guy, Brian was working on a novel called Faster Than the Speed of Love. Both the premise and the title made Lois laugh hysterically, and Stewie asking Brian about how his novel was going as his voice got higher was also a great joke.

Then, in the episode “420,” Carter published Brian’s book to get him to change his stance on pot laws, but it was a resounding failure that didn’t sell a single copy. Since then, a lot of recurring laughs have been gotten out of the terrible failure of Brian’s novel.

8 Peter’s barbershop quartet

Peter and his barbershop quartet when some bad news needs to be delivered in a chipper manner, like a hospital patient with HIV getting diagnosed with AIDS. The singers also showed up to educate Peter about vasectomies when Lois first suggested that he get one.

Family Guy has always been great at musical gags, because whoever’s in charge of writing the lyrics for the musical numbers has a strong sense of rhythm and timing, both in music and in comedy. The sound of barbershop music is replicated perfectly in these gags, so the juxtaposition with the dark content of the words is pitch-perfect.

7 Live studio ostrich

Very few sitcoms these days have a laughter track, or are “filmed in front of a live studio audience,” because TV producers have realized that these are tacky, contribute nothing to the show (and, arguably, detract from them), and condescend to the viewers by telling them when to laugh.

RELATED: Family Guy: 10 Best Stewie Griffin Quotes

Family Guy spoofed the idea of the “live studio audience” with a “live studio ostrich.” He’ll show up to punctuate a bad joke in a show like Two and a Half Men to emphasize how unfunny it is. The ostrich earnestly lets out a laugh, but since he’s the only one there, it sounds sarcastic: “Hah-hah!”

6 Corey’s World

Corey’s World is a YouTube channel hosted by Corey, a hilarious satire of millennial YouTubers. He makes how-to videos that the Griffins sometimes watch to get out of sticky situations. Corey opens all his videos by saying, “What’s going on, guys? I’m Corey!” and then implores everyone viewing to subscribe and says he’ll try to get around to answering all the comments, but can’t promise anything, and he’s just delaying the how-to information that one of the Griffins needs urgently.

He only made his debut on the show recently, but he’s already become an endearing running gag. In his fourth and most appearance, in the episode “Girl, Internetted,” Corey made his first in-person appearing at Streaming Con, a convention for online celebrities.

5 Holden Caulfield

To fans who are unfamiliar with the classic literature of J.D. Salinger, this character is simply known as the “Phony!” guy. He’ll show up when someone is doing something fake, like Peter pretending to play the mall piano that plays itself, and yell, “You’re a phony! A big, fat phony!”

This character is a reference to Holden Caulfield, the lead protagonist in The Catcher in the Rye, who gets mopey and angsty about the phonies at his school. He’s probably the biggest, loudest brat in the history of literature, and Family Guy has given us a terrific spoof of the character.

4 “Surfin’ Bird”

Fans are as sick of the Trashmen’s song “Surfin’ Bird” as Stewie and Brian got when Peter played that record a thousand times in the first act of the episode “I Dream of Jesus.” However, it was a wildly popular bit when the episode first aired – at the height of Family Guy’s popularity, no less – and the show has since come to make some hysterical meta-references to this.

For example, in the episode where Peter got amnesia and heard the song when he couldn’t remember anything, he turned it off after a few seconds, because he found it annoying.

3 Quagmire hates Brian

This running joke has only appeared quite recently, because if you look back at earlier episodes, Brian is hanging out with Peter and the guys and they’re all getting along. But it’s hilarious, because you can totally see why Quagmire hates Brian.

He’s just the only person in Quahog who’s willing to call him out on his B.S. – he’s a phony intellectual, he acts like he’s better than everyone, and he blindly holds liberal views without being properly informed. And ever since it was established that Quagmire hates Brian, Brian has been trying to win him over, and everything he’s done has only made it worse.

2 Peter hurts his knee

It’s been a while since Family Guy used this joke, but if the writers decided to throw it into an episode in the upcoming season, it would be a hilarious throwback. On one occasion, it was Lois who got in on this gag, and instead of hitting her knee on the ground, she hit her boob.

RELATED: The 5 Best (And 5 Worst) Episodes Of Family Guy

If there’s one type of joke that Family Guy is great at doing, it’s gags that go on for so long that the initial laugh wears off, then it becomes annoying, then it becomes funny again, just because it’s been going on for so long, and this is a perfect example of that.

1 Cleveland’s bathtub

Easily the funniest running joke in Family Guy, because it never fails to kill, is when Peter will destroy half of Cleveland’s house while Cleveland’s in the bath and the tub will slowly slide off the collapsing floor as he says, “No, no, no, no, no, nooo!” Cleveland even made a self-aware reference to it one time: “I’ve gotta stop taking my baths during Peter’s shenanigans.”

After Cleveland moved out of Quahog and started starring in his own Virginia-set spin-off series called The Cleveland Show, one of Peter’s schemes smashed up the side of his house and an empty bathtub falls out and smashes. A deadpan Peter says, “Oh, yeah, Cleveland moved.” This gag was used as the basis of an episode of The Cleveland Show in which Cleveland’s ex-wife died in a similar bathtub-related incident and Cleveland got survivor’s guilt.

A brief typology of bad shows

Bad show that thinks it’s good (e.g. Arrow)

Bad show that knows it’s bad, has fun with it (e.g. Legends of Tomorrow)

Subtype: Bad show that knows it’s bad, has fun with it, also musical numbers (e.g., Galavant)

Subtype: Bad show that sometimes seems to know it’s bad, and other times seems to think it’s good, and is generally entertaining in direct proportion to how bad it thinks it is (e.g., The Flash)

Curate’s Egg (some things are really good, some are really bad, e.g. Sense8)

Subtype: Show with superb acting, cinematography, and music, and even some compelling characters or moments, but also full of story choices ranging from questionable to “holy shit what is wrong with you” (e.g., Game of Thrones)

Show actively aiming for bad and consistently missing (e.g., Twin Peaks)

Show that is actually a solid example of what it is, but gets hate because people want it to be something it isn’t (e.g., Teen Titans Go)

Bad show that will never die because it stars angsty white boys (e.g., Supernatural)

Genuinely bad show that has no redeeming qualities and shouldn’t exist (e.g., anything made by Seth MacFarlane)

Types 1, 6, and 7 lose me fast. Type 3-5, I vary by the show. Type 2 I will watch every goddamn episode and remember fondly for years to come.

[ladyofdecember]

This first episode is good and emotional and angsty. Seth MacFarlane really knows how to write dialogue that is down to earth and real.

Part 1 of 2

Paring: Seth Macfarlane (yes you read that right you bitches that man is hot) x fem!Reader

Plot: After years of being together, Y/N and Seth broke up. She knows that it is all based on a lie, but will he be able to come clean before it's too late?

Warnings: Angst, heartbreak, lies

A/N: Made this for @taintedangelbaby because she is the best?? And also check out her tik tok @/skellinqton for really cool and hip and fresh and sexy content!! + Bella Ramseys pronouns are he/his from what I know and found online.

A yawn escapes her lips and Pedro who looks over at her chuckles. “Tired?”, he asks, but she only shakes her head before making a sarcastic face. “No, not at all.”

Bella who is sitting on her other side laughs at the her tone. He leans back. Y/N turns her head to face him:”I need you to tell me your secret. We spent nearly the same amount of time on set yesterday and you’re still bursting with- with energy…” What follows are a couple of sharp hand movements and Bella rolls his eyes.

“Just by being young, I guess.”, he answers. Y/N playfully drops her jaw and her hand flies up to cover her chest. She lets out a noiseless ‘ouch’, which only earns her a giggle from her younger costar. Pedro attempts to hide his smile by scratching his upper lip:”You’re being mean.”

“How old are you again?” “Twenty-one.”, Bella winks and reaches for his champagne glass. Y/N acts as if she’s having trouble connecting the dots:”So that makes me…eight years older than you?” “Still eight years.” Pedro giggles:”Oh god.”

Y/N rolls her y/e/ced eyes before turning her head to face Pedro again:”Anyway, looks like you and I are in-.” However, the words are suddenly stuck in her throat, while her smile quickly fades away. Pedro blinks at her:”Are you ok?” There is genuine concern and confusion in his voice as he studies her features. A couple of seconds later he ultimately twists around in his chair. His brown eyes scan the crowded room. “What are you-.”, Pedro begins talking, but stops once he discovers what has caught her attention:”Oh.”

"I'm- I'm sorry.", Y/N quickly gets up. "What's wrong.", Bella asks and bends forwards to catch the champagne bottle that is being knocked over by her rapid movements. " I just- I have to pee." Pedro, who is turning back around sees in the corner of his left eye, how the man Y/N was just staring at stands up as well. Bella tries to do the same, but gets stopped by his costar, who softly holds up his hand:" Don't."

Y/N strides down the corridor towards the restroom. She makes her way past actresses and musicians who are all attempting to get her to stop walking, but she merely shakes her head at them. "Later!", she smiles at them through gritted teeth:" I will find you later, okay? I promise."

Fuck. She had always known that sooner or later their paths would cross again. Considering how they are working in somewhat of the same industry it would have been pretty unrealistic to think that she would never see him again. Y/N looks into the mirror and swallows thickly.

Four years. They dated for four fucking years before he suddenly swore that they just didn't "work out".

"You're lying.", Y/N stated, biting her lower lip:" Seth, I know you're lying." "I'm not.", he replied, while his hands were tightly gripping the edge of the kitchen aisle, to the point where his knuckles turned white:" I just don't- don't love you anymore." She wanted to call him pathetic, maybe throw some plates through the kitchen. But she couldn't move a single muscle. All she could focus on was how the man in front of her couldn't look her in the eyes. Y/N stared at him for a few moments, feeling so much tenderness in her chest that for a second she could have sworn her heart was on the verge of bursting. Then she left.

A knock on the door brings her back into reality. Y/N quickly improves her posture and looks at herself in the mirror one last time, before spinning around. When she unlocks the door, she softly smiles down at Bella: "Do you have to go as well?" But Bella shakes his head:" No, I just came to get you because our category is up next. Just in case we win, I think it would be better if you are at the table." Y/N nods:" Lead the way."

"Excuse me.", a voice states and Y/N feels how a shiver runs down her spine. "Oh yeah, sure.", Bella answers and takes a step to the side:" Sorry." Y/N looks up and makes eye contact with Seth. His brown eyes scan her features in a matter of seconds, and she immediately knows that he came to find her. However, Bella somehow managed to get to her first. He strolls past the two towards the door of the hall.

"That's so weird. I could swear that he was in the main room just a second ago.", Bella speaks, furrowing his eyebrows:" Stalker much?" It makes Y/N's heart drop. Bella doesn't mean to, of course not. As far as she knows, he has no idea that you and Seth used to be engaged.

At the sound of her doorbell, Y/N whines. This has to be a joke. And for a moment she just lays there, hoping… praying that she only imagined things. But when the high-pitched sound continues to fill the calm of her apartment she decides to get up. "What the fuck?", she whispers and rubs her eyes, before peeking through the tiny hole in the front door.

It takes her exhausted eyes a moment to get accustomed to the bright lights of the hallway, but once they focus she takes a step back:" What the fuck?!"

"Y/N?", a hushed voice from outside asks:" Did I- Did I hear your voice? Can you please open the door?" There is a ringing in Y/N's ears that gets worse and worse with each second that passes. "Go home, Seth.", she leans her head against the door and shuts her eyes at the coldness. "Please, open the door. I just want to talk."

A scoff leaves her lips, followed by a tired smile:" No fucking way. I am not going to open the door. You can talk from over there." Y/N understands that as soon as she does, she will let him into her apartment. And fuck, she can't do that.
