Hey honey, happy new "year" (whatever that means), how are you? I've now seen all of superstore so was wondering if you have any hottakes theories headcanons or just random thoughts/rants/dreams about it you wanna share? Xxx

Heyyyya!!! Happy new year!!! And happy birthmonth or whatever 🥳😘 I'm fine, just a bit not around these days lol, but I'm fine! How are you?

OMG you finally watched Superstore??? What did you think? Did you like it? Do you have hottakes theories heacanons?

I don't really have that many theories or headcanons or stuff on the show because I'm simply an enjoyer of what it puts on my screen without further daydreaming, but here are some random thoughts and my main opinions on Superstore:

Dina is one of my favourite characters of like, ever. She's with Sister Michael from Derry Girls in that same club of absolute icons that holds a special place in my heart. I just love love love her absolutely batshit morality, her freakness, the way everything about her is logical but yet in the most insane way, and I'm a huge fan of Lauren Ash's acting when it comes to Dina. She's my fave character in the show.

Garrett is also my favourite character, for somehow completely opposed reasons: while Dina is objectively terrifying, I find Garrett the perfect embodiment of an IDGAF energy that I would love to spend an evening chilling with. I find it hilariously ironic that Dina and him kind of have a relationship together.

I just love how every character, despite being obviously quite stereotyped, has some complexity in the sense that you can't completely love or hate them. They all have adorable and despicable sides, even Glenn, or Carol, or Justine, and it gives a realistic touch to the show despite its general insanity.

Still on the realistic side, I love how diverse the cast is, and especially when it comes to body types.

I adore the way Garrett's disability is basically a non-existent plot point. It's here, he's in a wheelchair, yes you'll hear him saying that he drives to go to work and no you won't know how, yes he owns a gazillion pairs of shows, but no, you won't know why he can't walk, and to be fair, the mere fact that he's disabled will practically never be addressed in the whole show except for like one episode and a half where we'll make meta jokes about avoiding to give him a tragic backstory. I love this because you'll see so many times disabled characters (or LGBT/neurodivergent/racial token, pick your fave) reduced only to their disability as their unique definition. They're the Disabled Character™ and of course this will be used as a major plot point, otherwise what would be the point? I love how Garrett is Garrett before being disabled, and how it's not used as a tool for doom or redemption or what have you.

I completely hated the Amy's pregnancy storyline even though I know it was there to cover for America Ferrara's actual pregnancy

There's an inherent pro-union, anticapitalist philosophy to the show that I can only but command

The attention to detail!!! I love the joke about Amy's nametag having a different name with each episode, or the random shots of the store with no dialogue and customers going bananas in the middle of each episode

The lines!! Honestly this show has some of the most hilarious lines I've ever heard 🤣 "Justine, how are you on cutting cakes?" "Honestly? Weird." "He looks like a panda and a Disney princess had a baby" "I'm torn. On one hand, that doesn't look good on you. On the other hand, what would?"

Watching season 6 in 2021 felt familiar and normal. Rewatching it in 2025 feels like witnessing a terrifying dystopia. I forgot to which point 2020 was wild!

I think we should have benefitted more from Superstore's shared universe with Good Girls because Annie Marks would have thrived in the workplace environment of Cloud 9, it's a pity we didn't get to see that, especially when Asmita and Cheyenne's mom were played by the same actress!

Ship-wise, I'm quite indifferent to Jonah/Amy, I mean they're cute but that's pretty much it, I'm suprised Jerry/Sandra made it to the end, I'm very invested in Dina/Garrett obviously, also I loved Jeff/Mateo, I think they should have gotten back together in the end.

I find it awesome that despite having left the show, America Ferrara agreed to come back in the last episodes of season 6, it really added to a great ending

Speaking of, as someone who's more often than not disappointed by TV shows' endings, I must say that Superstore's is one of the most beautiful and satisfying one that I know? The ending is just perfect, emotional, makes perfect sense, gives closure to everything and everyone, I love that they gave the last words to Garrett since he's sort of the show's narrator through his announcements, I love how it's a happy-ish ending but also kind of bittersweet and also a quite open one, and it's just the show in a nutshell which is what I look for the most in shows. I feel sad for Jeff though, poor meow meow's still single and he's gonna have a tough time selling thoses Subarus...

Anyway, Superstore is one of my favourite confort shows, it's perfect in its kind and there's really very few things I dislike about it 🥰🥲💕

Deanrio there really WAS something there, exactly!

they were way too obsessed with each other for something to not be there. personally, i'm assuming rio was obsessed with beth's bedroom because he just wanted to see where dean jerked off.

Fanfiction word game! Onion, leg, dress ❔❔❔

hi hello 🖤 thank you for ask ✨

unfortunately there's no 'onion', but you are right, there should be onion in my fics. This is a big mistake on my part, I am ashamed 🫡

there only one 'leg' 👀

There was a movement behind him, a leg thrown over his hip and a growl that halted his mind quickly. His heart picking up its beat once again.

probably not a 'dress' you had in mind but it's the only one I got so

“Electro-bisento.” He said, and she hissed as if she felt the pain of his wound herself. “Wh-, I…,” her voice sounded lost, and he wasn’t sure why, “would you be able to dress it on your own?” She asked finally.

thank you for asking 🖤

🏹 send me a word to find in one of my latest wips maybe ?

5 for end of year asks 📆

5. TV show of the year?

Not sure if this refers to my favourite show that aired this year or just that I watched this year 🤔

If it's a show that aired this year, I really liked Alaska Daily!! It was really interesting and I liked getting to see a show that wasn't set in New York or LA like most American shows :)

Otherwise, I'd probably have to go with The Get Down. I wasn't sure it was going to be my kind of show but I ended up completely obsessed with it! It was so good!

I'm still upset that both shows got cancelled too soon, it really is unfair 😔

Thanks for the ask! :)

[juuuuunaaaaaooooo]

76. What’s your favorite “bad” font! 😘

Thank you <33333!!!! I only wrote in time new roman so....this one, I suppose (I don't like arial or calibri^^)

[inyoursheets]

11 & 14 & 40!!!

11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated.

coffeeshop!AUs that don't radically alter the way i operate in the world; any kind of high school!AU; those fics that end up pairing up every character with a romantic partner by the end (looking at you, h*rry p*tter fandom)

14. Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

HOW DARE YOUUUUUUUUU

There's only so many times you can beg your ex-boyfriend to bang you and his new beau at the same time without acknowledging that sometimes life's lemons are better off staying that way.

40. Write a 9-word fic.

If hope did its work, pain might be less lonely.

let's get ficcin'

[juuuuunaaaaaooooo]

@bourbon-ontherocks : remind me of your brio smurf post^^

Thanks for the tag @writeouswriter! :)

Rules: post the last sentence you wrote and tag a person for each word.

...I was falling asleep last night when I whipped out my phone to add to the ridiculous Miguel/Chico No Oz AU doc named "ChickenFingers". Please excuse:

Like he saw the hard swallow, bobbing under that thin, oddly delicate skin.

I didn't know 13 people (damn my rambling sentences!) to tag, unfortunately, since I couldn't remember who was actively writing. No pressure tagging (feel free to ignore me): @wawamouse @imposterzoe @faceless-inthecrowd @9cbffs @michelleelizabethtanner @blood-mocha-latte @brasideios @pilot-nobody @tocadoguara

I wish so much there was a script to screen for the infamous 🍣🥢scene! I am also so intrigued as to whether it was an acting or directing choice, but I'm not convinced anyone involved in creating gg was capable of telling the truth so perhaps we'll never know 😭

(x)

I mean!!!! Either way is hilarious bc either the script says ludicrous stuff such as

~ Rio methodically slaughters a maki. ~ It becomes gradually clearer he has no idea what he is doing. ~ Rio has increasing trouble coordinating his chopsticks.

... etc etc. In which case I wish I'd been a fly on the wall during table read because that must have been a Moment™.

OR, and I can't stress enough how equally hilarious that would be, the script just says that Rio's eating sushi, and you've got everyone onset while filming pulling faces and mouthing at each other "what the hell is he doing?" as it appears with enlarging clarity that Manny has never eaten a sushi before and has engaged in a struggle to death with vinegar rice right in the eye of the camera.

@faceless-inthecrowd ty for the tag!

New Writing Challenge; Write the first and last line of the five most recent WIP’s that you’ve worked on. Not opened, but actually worked on.

Tag your fellow writer friends to see what they've been cooking up.

If you don't have five, you can include the most recent--that's fine too :)

Haha, I most certainly don’t have 5 WIPs. But I do have one!

First line: “There was a weather warning in effect and Beth was waiting.”

Last line (that I’ve written): “But in the end she just texted back: “‘Okay.’”

Idk who to tag. @sothischickshe @riosnecktattoo @xstrawmari are you writing? … I feel like everyone else who I know is writing is already tagged. Consider yourselves tagged again! 😊

[pynkhues]

any new gg fic recs? thnx

Ah, sorry, anon, I haven’t read Good Girls fic in a while, so the recs I have would be pretty old. I think your best bet for newer fics would probably be to ask @sothischickshe or @michelleelizabethtanner, although maybe some of the people who follow me might be able to reblog or comment with recs? Sorry I can’t be more help!

[bensonstablers]

Shared History (Good Girls/Brio)

Degree of Separation (Good Girls/Brio)

Milkshakes (Good Girls/Brio)

Deep Sense of Belonging (Good Girls/Brio)

Sacred Art of Kissing (Good Girls/Brio)

5. Do you respond to comments?

i read all of them for sure but i'm terrible sometimes at responding although i do try my best

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

ooft, okay. there's probably more than this but the following have major character death warnings that could very well be classed as angsty lmao:

i wrote this little ficlet: Gone (SVU, bensler/EO) in which a raid goes wrong and it's just pain from start to finish and then there's Until Long After She Takes Her Final Breath which is a Good Girls/brio fic in which their reunion at the beginning of season 3 goes very differently.

Why don't we go to Venus? is another Good Girls/brio fic in which the summary is: Rio killed her and that was supposed to be the end of it but Beth doesn’t seem to be done with him quite yet.

that one is probably my angstiest overall but the ending is probably the least angsty bit about it??? haha

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

honestly? i have no idea and i have no clue how to check 😭😂

8. Do you get hate on fics?

there was someone going around the SVU/OC fandom leaving weird hate comments on people's stuff (anonymously) and i got one but while it felt rude, it didn't feel like hate, but also it felt like it was supposed to be hateful, y'know? pretty sure i just deleted it though (i for sure ignored it) 😂

but generally, no. i'm lucky to say that i tend to avoid hate on social media and that includes fanfiction.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

i have done and the variety isn't huge but it's there? i guess?

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

i have done! beyond the obvious (where shows, etc share worlds), i did a boondock saints/the walking dead one (which was also co-written) because norman reedus stars in both 😂

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i'm aware of?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

again, not that i'm aware of

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

yes! the aforemention boondock saints/the walking dead fic was co-written on ff.net and i co-wrote (with the same person), a fast and furious fic.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

i lost myself a ton in writing olivia/elliot from svu/organized crime as well as beth/rio from good girls so they'd probably battle it out for top spot.

BUT

if i'm being brutally honest, my all time favourite ever to write were fast and furious ships 😂 especially the OGs (specifically vince and leon) with my OCs (although there were canon ships i loved to write too!). it was just so fun and freeing and i constantly think about it.

(i also loved when i wrote random marvel/mcu pairings, winterwitch was probably my number one for them and again, i think about it a lot)

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i think it's unlikely i'll finish a lot but especially a degree of separation. i kind of hate it, i'm so sorry 😭😭😭

16. What are your writing strengths?

the thought of analysing my own writing right now sounds painful but two of the most common nice things people tell me is that: 1) they like how i write dialogue and 2) they like my writing style in general

(but of which i highly appreciate!)

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

i don't do it enough?

nah. true but seriously, there's a ton, however, i do tend to waffle on and write something in several sentences that could have been just one 😭

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I don't think i've ever done it? if i have it'll be dialogue or whatever that's already in the show/move/etc

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The Fast and the Furious 🥰

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

still on ao3: it has to be Why don't we go to Venus? but also Knock First which is a Beth/Rio/Original Male Character threesome fic that was SO MUCH fun

no longer posted: a fic for The Fast and the Furious. it was a Vince/OC story. it was so much fun to write and it was one of my most popular back when i was posting on ff.net and i miss this story all the time (even though it's probably awful 😂) and always think about re-writing and posting it again on ao3

Tagging: @conscience-killer @constant-sinner @astarkey @xstrawmari @blainesebastian if ya like! (sorry if you've been tagged before!)

[juuuuunaaaaaooooo]

@sothischickshe ❤︎‬ (ps : I hate you (affectionate); look what you made me do^^) also..I am sorry because i finish it few weeks ago but I was too concentrate for the brioficweek2024 <3

tagged by @kakinou (🖤) to post nine of my favourite first watches of 2023

which was a mission impossible (yes this is a pun, a MI pun 🫡) since it looks like I've only seen 39 new (not necessarily new new) films this year ??!! And I really don't like the word favourite and I don't do those (if you've been here long enough you're well aware) AND the films I've seen were 🌚 meh, mostly but here we are, an eclectic selection maybe but even if not my favourite, all of those movies did leave some kind of imprint on me in one way or another.

tagging 9, for fun and movie recs: @iceinherheart-kissonherlips, @colorfulmetaphors, @emotionalsupportwarcriminal, @sothischickshe, @fatalgift, @nynazenik, @lonely-night, @ressariot, @sdktrs12 (as always, tagging 'cause I think it's nice, but there's no pressure ever to do anything, feel free to ignore me)
