ockiss24 - valinter

Well hi there. I'm really just doing OC shipping these days, so <3. Happy ockiss24 to everyone! For @ockissweek! No theme used. title: bright, aching longing pairing: faustus valentine/winter collins (@narrativefoiltrope) rating: gen word count: ~1.2k ao3 link!

When Faustus opens his eyes, his bedroom is that surreal shade of blue before the sun can gild it gold. It must be very early. Winter’s alarm hasn’t even gone off yet. Her back is facing him, half bare with her summer pajamas. If he focuses he can make out the freckles on her shoulders, freshly vibrant from the weekend gardening.

Looking at her fills him with a bright, aching longing. They haven’t had a morning to themselves in weeks . Months, maybe. Between the kids and both their jobs, they can only manage to find their privacy at night. Faustus recognizes that familiar longing as loneliness.

He misses her.

The distance between them becomes suddenly, acutely intolerable. He wants her in his arms, like, right fucking now.

“Winter,” he says, voice low and rough with sleepiness.

After a moment, she hums so low he almost misses it. She’s probably tired. The weekend had been as hectically busy as they tend to be now with kid’s birthday parties and local events. He almost hesitates. It would be kinder to let her sleep, but he’s always been a selfish bastard.

Reaching out to stroke her spine with his knuckles, he says, more insistent, “Mm, no, don’t go back to sleep. We have to enjoy this while it lasts.”

Sleepily, Winter mumbles, “Enjoy what?”

“The joy of the kids not being up.” She shifts a bit in interest, head turning towards him. Faustus smirks, scenting blood in the water, and continues. “Nice, isn’t it? We could have a little morning snuggle.”

“Hm…” 

“Come on ,” Faustus whines impatiently. “Honeybee, I’m cold. I’m freezing. Come warm me up.”

“Freezing in summer?” Winter laughs quietly. Faustus grins, smug with victory. He can tell she’s ready to give in.  “Alright.” 

Then, with a little sigh of effort, Winter rolls around until they’re face to face. Their eyes meet across the sheets and Faustus is too shameless to regret bothering her.

Gripped with excitement, Faustus does a stupid little shuffle towards her. Winter giggles, but she’s shuffling too, sheets rustling noisily in their otherwise silent room. Then: Faustus sighs happily as soon as he gets an arm draped across Winter’s waist and she’s got hers curled around his back. She smiles at him, drowsy and imperfect. Her hair is an ugly flattened mess on one side. Creases line her cheek on the side she slept on.

I love her, Faustus thinks, overwhelmed with the force of it.

“Hey,” he says in a whisper, like any louder and he’ll break the moment.

“Hi,” Winter whispers back.

Settling into the cuddle is as natural as breathing for Faustus. That bruised, aching thing in his chest quiets with Winter’s solid warmth in his arms. He has always been so hungry for affection. It’s insane to him that even now that he’s married, that hunger still hasn’t left him. 

Maybe he would always be like this. Maybe it was a simple consequence of their constraints: his touring, her job, the kids now. Even holding her, he finds himself wanting for more. Wishing they had endless time to indulge.

“I miss this.” Faustus says, stroking his thumb along the curve of her hip. “Mornings like this.”

Winter’s mouth goes soft and sweet with understanding, sad with a little longing. “I do too.”

Her hand draws a line up the worn cotton of his shirt to the overgrown fringe of hair at his nape. Faustus closes his eyes as she scratches there lightly. He could sink into this shared warmth for hours and hours. He really, really would like to. He’d love for everything – her job, his music, even the kids – to fall away for a while so they could enjoy each other without worry. 

Not for the first time, Faustus feels that nasty twinge of guilt. He loves his kids. He loves that parenthood fills him with a huge love, bigger than he knows how to really hold, and he even loves that it scares him shitless. But there’s also that nagging desire to monopolize Winter’s time. Bad habit of his, really. He’s an insatiable beast.

Ah, whatever. This really isn’t the time for that conversation. Later, he thinks, he’ll have to admit they need to figure out how they can get more time together or he might, like, keel over from wanting. It’s kinda funny that, even married, he finds himself wanting for her. 

Kinda funny. Mostly unfair.

For now, all he wants to do is fully enjoy the luxury of having his wife in his arms, her fingers in his hair, before the day pulls them apart again.

Soon – too fucking soon – Winter’s alarm interrupts their happy cuddle time. The look she gives him is one of strained regret. Faustus groans, lifts his arm, and watches her roll over to silence her phone on the nightstand with a pout. He waits until Winter’s out of bed, feet stuck into her pink plaid slippers and standing at their closet, to decide to poke her a bit.

Faustus sighs loudly, dramatic and jilted. “Is it worth it to convince you to come back to bed?”

“You can always try,” Winter says lightly as she examines her wardrobe. There’s a note of teasing in her voice, the bully she is. 

“Five minutes, Winter.”

Winter pulls out two sweaters, one blue, one tan, both equally grandma like in style. She considers them both before putting away the blue one. “Skylar will need to get ready soon though.”

“Three minutes?”

“Oh Faustus, what could we do in three minutes?”

“Cuddle some more?” Only now does Winter turn to him, eyebrows slightly raised in the mild astonishment of someone who knows Faustus hardly ever stops at cuddling. Faustus raises his hand in mock salute. “Scouts honor! Just a cuddle.”

Unmoved, Winter smiles at him like she really wants to give in, but knows she can’t. Instead she crosses back to the bed and cups his face between her palms and kisses him in way of an apology. It’s very tender, very loving, and again he wants more . Faustus tries to chase after it when she pulls away, but she stills him with a gentle squeeze to his jaw.

Faustus looks at her, helpless. For the second time that morning, he aches to have her in his arms.

“I’m sorry,” Winter whispers against his skin. “How about we get a babysitter for the end of the week for a little date night?”

That stirs some definite interest in him. Almost enough to make him drop his primadonna act, but not quite. “You’ll make me wait all week?”

“I’ll give you extra cuddles tonight.”

“And the rest of the week.”

“You’ll get spoiled like that.” Winter grins wide enough he can see her little tooth gap, all sweetness and affection. “Alright, all week.”

The rest of the morning goes exactly as all of them have since they added Clover to their little family. Check the baby, wrangle Skylar into his clothes, get breakfast on the table. Put on the kettle for Winter’s tea, start his coffee. Winter kisses him goodbye and he steals two more before he lets her go.

Faustus spends the rest of the day, after the kids are dropped off at daycare and he’s plopped his tired ass in the recording studio, looking forward to their nightly cuddle.

Who is the weirdo who decided what better way to deal with stress over the mid-term election than to write a story about America learning about democracy and getting excited over the idea of voting?

Me. It's me.

If our democracy is going down in flames tomorrow I'm at least going to make it stronger in my imaginary world.

I honestly don't know what the crystal ball holds for US democracy after tomorrow night, but if you believe in any form of deity please pray that the American public makes the right decisions. Pray that we stood up and chose democracy over creeping authoritarianism. Hold on to your hats folks it's gonna be a very long few days, but hopefully the story I post will make it a little easier. Also depending on results binge watching West Wing & Veep again.

And here's a few gifs about democracy, choose whichever one fits best after the potential car wreck or miracle...

GENRE: COMEDY

a series of drivers in different sitcoms. thats it. thats the only description i can give.

originally, this was a series inspired by this tiktok i saw then @disneyprincemuke (no one's surprised anymore) corrupted me into actually making it BUT! i wanted to have my own twist to it so here it is;

special mentions to @foreveralbon @localwhoore for... being there

also i gotta be honest the deeper u scroll the more sloppy i got with the ideas cause i fr ran out of sitcoms (that ive watched and/or may not just be in my list for future watch since i ran out) and ideas so im sorry folks 🫠 also no promises on this series well

some of these MIGHT change because i am stupid. and, yeah.

they gave you one condition: be in this relationship or not be in the show and who are you to say no? you’re new after all, who did you think you were?

AGAIN; absolutely no promises cause im shit <3

plus i dont rlly know why im doing this considering i currently have a pretty demanding life but oh well!!

[brookheimer]

OKAY i have gotten many many asks about this so!!! my much awaited predictions for/speculation on this ep!!!

(barely a prediction ljke this is just known fact at this point) rome gets beaten up by a rally which, like, deserved lol

the obvious jess prediction is that she's quitting but who knows cuz jesse loves his curveballs

been too long since we’ve had meaningful ewan content so i’m betting on a ewan speech. also i said this in a prev post but i think that if we're going to get any rose lore at all then it has to be this episode and i'm an optimist so i'm saying we get some rose fucking lore!!! if we do it'll prob be from ewan esp if he gives a speech so: ewan gives a speech and we finally learn more about rose

look. it has been four episodes since kendall signed off on the logan smear campaign. it has been three episodes since logan smear campaign was mentioned (shiv brings it up to the brothers briefly in kill list, like 'uh hey guys im getting word some outlets are gonna release anti-logan reports are you on top of this' or something and ken was like uhhhh uh huh im sure it's fine Anyways The Deal etc). it has got to come back some point, and just dramaturgically speaking, what better way to drum up conflict at a funeral than same-day news stories coming out about how terrible of a person the deceased was? and if anything were to send rome over the edge and turn his eulogy into a category 5 disaster, it would be everyone in the world suddenly finding out logan physically abused him throughout his entire life (or maybe he just finds out those news stories r gonna break even if they actually come out next ep or smth). so. there's nothing to back this one, just pure speculation, who knows, BUT: possibly an update on logan smear campaign that ken initiated in e4 (either news comes out or the roys hear about it early like cruise scandal or something) and rome handles it, like, really well (sarcasm. obviously) OH or or or maybe rome does his Logan Is Great I Love Him So Much Aren't I A Bit Like Him eulogy and then like an hour later it comes out that logan fucking hated rome's guts and spent his whole life beating him or something lollllll #awkward

not really a prediction here either, just, like, obvious succession stuff -- the deal will continue being A Prominent Thing even during the funeral 100%. mattson is totally going to try and wheel n deal and talk business w shiv during the funeral, the bros r gonna keep trying to stop it, etc; being a roy does not stop just because dad's corpse is in front of you!

trying to think of what other threads i'm forgetting... OH i think tom sleep deprivation arc will keep being a thing because like that's just how sleep deprivation works man. the only way to stop being sleep deprived is to sleep and god fucking knows he doesn't after the election when he's public enemy #1 for every single news organization in the country. so yeah tom is going to be so eepy it's not even funny. like it literally won't be funny it'll just start getting sad and concerning

OH ELECTION lol yeah no absolutely nothing is decided, mencken is not Actually President yet guys lol. a news org can't just declare the president that easily. there's still bureaucratic processes to go through. my money's on a veep situation (altho in veep the votes were lost not burned so they ended up finding them and doing a recount) -- congress decides (and also maybe there's a revote in wisconsin or something? again veep was recount so idk) and that will probably be a long fucking process

not a prediction so much as a hope: MASSIVE cunt serving by caroline, marcia, ewan, and stewy

OH EDIT — kenrava fight bc ken basically chose racism over his daughter so… lollll

ok i prob have more thoughts because i'm me and i always have more thoughts but i need to go finish this fucking final lol

Hi, everyone!

If you're looking for something to do this holiday weekend besides watching Christmas specials, may I suggest binging Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous?

It's cringe comedy at its best, imo, and today is the LAST day you can watch it on Netflix!

For that reason, I wanted to share my top 3 episodes of the 2013 MTV show and why I love them:

1. Zach Stone Is Gonna Be an Actor

This is the ONLY episode Bo Burnham wrote himself, and my god is it hysterical and heartbreaking in that way that Bo does so well.

Bonus shout-out to Nelson Franklin playing the student film director. I ADORE him, especially on Veep as Will, the verbally abused underling to Furlong. Nelson is also 6'5 like Bo!

2. Zach Stone Is Gonna Make a Sex Tape

This is probably the funniest all-around episode of the show, and seeing Bo "preparing" himself for sex with Christy (including randomly strumming on a guitar) is a joy to behold.

The Jackson 3! Scotch and Soda! Zach's hands on her ass...so much to love lol.

3. Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous (No, Really) and the Pilot

This is a tie because, again, Bo wrote these episodes with fellow cocreator Dan Lagana, and they do SUCH a good job of introducing who Zach is and making you cheer for him by the end of the series.

The Dr. Pepper being warm and Zach talking about 9/11 and Facebook really feel nostalgic now. Remember when our phones looked like that? Haha

Runner-up episodes: The Zachelor (this parody of reality shows is SPOT-ON plus Greg gets a win of sorts lol); Recording Artist (Bo's ringtone songs are all brilliant).

Bonus fun fact: Zach's parents are apparently mirror images of Bo's IRL mom Pattie and dad Scott per Dan in this interview! Crazy 🤯

I had never met Bo's parents and we'd cast these people. And Bo's parents flew into Los Angeles and they came into the writer's room. And it was like...it was remarkable how similar they were in build.

Anyway, I hope this list inspires you to give the show a chance. It's well worth it and a hilarious alternative to the same-old holiday specials!

Enjoy the last day of Zach Stone on Netflix, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

Co-worker tried to claim my 15-page report as her own work to the CEO, got outed in front of him.

This was a young woman who only got her job (especially made for her) because her dad was golfing buddies with our CEO.

She regularly blamed her team for her numerous mistakes, and took all the credit for their hard work. Let's call her Bitch.

I used to do trade shows and after the fall season would be back in the office and create a comprehensive report on the results of the shows, normally 15+ pages. The Veeps always wanted paper reports, not attachments, so I normally printed them out and distributed them personally to the staff.

I handed Bitch her copy as we passed in the corridor, then watched in sheer amazement as she marched straight into the CEO's office and said, I kid you not; "Here Boss, I just put this together for you". Stunning, the report was all about trade shows, and she wasn't even in the same department!

Cue the revenge, I marched in there right after her, and said "Oh, Bitch, I just realized that my report has some numerical errors, let me have it back and I'll get you a revised one", all the while staring at the CEO with a slightly raised eyebrow.

As I left, I heard the most wonderful words from the CEO: "Aiku, would you please close the door as you leave?"

Bitch came out about five minutes later looking like a ripe tomato. I couldn't resist asking "How was your little tete-a-tete with our Boss?"

hhhhh there are a lot of shows i'd like to watch, but watching shows is such a Commitment. with movies i can just pop them in one night and if they're lucky i'll think about them for the rest of my life but like...in the back of my mind. with shows it's a whole brain takeover.

13-17 for nonia!

what languages do they speak? how fluently? Nonia only speaks English fluently. Bits and pieces of Italian from her New Jersey family and broken Spanish from her father's family.

are they any good with numbers? Only when she has to be. Unless Nonia needs to use them (like for work in her Veep or Office Space verses, or something like measuring or calculating for cars in Talladega Nights) she can't do math for shit. It's a matter of necessity.

how big or small is their family? who did they live with growing up? do they live with anyone now? Nonia's closest family are her parents, and even then they moved back to NJ from North Carolina so she doesn't see them. She always lived with them growing up. Currently, she only lives with Reese :) (or in her other verses, Kent/Bill/Ted)

do they have any pets? what do they call their pets? Not in her main verse Talladega Nights. In Veep verse, she and Kent have a cat named Fibonacci II, the spiritual successor to Kent's late Fibonacci.

how did they spend their summers/free time as a child? Nonia has always had a fascination with motorsports and cars. She loved (and still does) watching Nascar, as well as motocross. She's even been riding dirtbikes since a young age (despite her fear of driving she likes riding motorbikes and I'm totally not projecting) and spent these times with her dad. Fixing up cars or watching her dad fix them was always a fun summer activity. There's actually lore behind the Chevrolet pendant she always wears with this- she and her father always planned to find a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle to fix up and customize together, but when Nonia grew up and her parents moved, they couldn't, so he bought her that necklace to always remind her of their bond and their dream.

Thank you so much for asking!! 💖💖💖

The results of this poll make me so freaking happy

Let me explain…

See, I think Jonah would want a big wedding and he’d beg Dan on bended knee to have one. However, Dan only shows his soft side to a select few people in his life. Therefore, Dan would be his truest self and feel safe to fully express his love for the love of his life. Once Jonah realizes this, it becomes all he wants and he immediately goes from planning a big wedding to googling the closest wedding chapel. BUT! Dan insists they still marry in a small private ceremony and write their own vows. Dan’s vows are of course beautifully vulnerable and devastatingly poetic, and they make both men tear up. Jonah’s vows are endearing expressions of adoration and awe that he is loved by Dan, whom he worships. Their tears spill. They kiss with their eyes shut tight. They honeymoon on a tropical island (Dan in short swim trunks, Jonah’s long legs let’s go).

In the end, Jonah gets his big wedding. It’s in the form of a housewarming party in their home with anyone who’s anyone on the Hill invited, but attended by mostly B-level guests. Dan shows off his husband and Jonah beams all evening with nauseating heart eyes. The Veep crew is in attendance.

They have two kids and a dog (or cat ??) Dan has his own political commentary show on a major news network. Jonah is a former congressman turned stay at home dad who hosts a popular vlog about the joys and absurdities of being a parent in DC.

Everyone lives happily ever after🩵🩵
