a catalogue of non-definitive acts, chapter 6: Thirty years of hurt

//Jul 2006//Oct 2003//Jul 1998//Jun 2004//Jun 2016//Jan 2011//Dec 2005// ft. England's terrible, terrible track record at international tournaments

bonus snippet of one of my favourite pieces of dialogue I've ever written:

#every time I post a new chapter I have to fight the urge to not include dozens of newspaper clippings as reference #anyway. #beville

[player1064]

behold: standing lessons.mp4

#the song choice im particularly proud of #gary neville

[player1064]

I have a whole 'first day of standing lessons' compilation but im gonna be honest im almost in TEARS over this it's so funny

#its just so so much. idk. #gary neville

[player1064]

would u guys still like me if I posted a 2 minute long video simply titled 'first day of standing lessons'

#this is a joke im posting it whether u like it or not

[player1064]

in the post you just retweeted which is carra and which is gary !?

dfgsddsfd had to double check what the post was but it's very very simple:

Gary: guy who knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend

Jamie: guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay

also this reminded me of my carraville core beliefs post so feel free to refer back to that

#in that jamie is insane enough about gary that he doesn't have to actually like men to like him #meanwhile gary is insane enough about men to not realise that jamie is Different #carraville

[player1064]

funniest character dynamic in the world to me is when you have one guy knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend and another guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay

#carraville. sorry guys

my dream has come true they still hate each other

#ITS SO FUNNYYYYY

[player1064]

HE'S SO MAD THAT NOBODY'S CHOOSING BECKS DKJAFHGKJDFHGKFSGFS

#this is like watching a wife get passive agressive towards her husband when he's done something to offend her #gary neville #jamie carragher #stick to football #carraville #beville

[player1064]

jamie's been on a war path today. tbh

#first talking about the fit at the euros then the spiked drink then valencia #he's so abnormal about this little manc #jamie carragher #gary neville #stick to football #carraville

[player1064]

LOVE a jill and roy friendship moment it's giving 'brother annoyed by his much younger sister'

#stick to football

[player1064]

mocking the manc because words of affirmation are your love language and he has never given you a compliment, ok nugget

ROY MAKING JOKE ABT GAZ & BECKS???

[player1064]

loooooving the beville/carraville fic rn but also interested in becks pov bcos im assuming he may/may not have cheated while in madrid and whether he is also falling out of love at a similar time as gary or if gary’s thing w jamie is gna be like a sucker punch to him arghcjsk

ohohohoooooo well. I'm not gonna give spoilers but there IS more becks pov planned I just tend towards writing gary pov bc well hes my special guy....

the way I'm structuring the fic means that some scenes I've written don't make the final cut bc they don't fit anywhere into the sort of non-linear structure and a few of those scenes were gonna be like. becks having Issues with the relationship 😭 (though some may still make it in.... we'll see...)

crucially though I think that gary and becks are a little bit out of sync on Everything so make of that what you will.... we have a couple of chapters left centred around their playing days and then the focus is shifting to retirement......

#i mean we Have hinted already at the cheating in madrid #and in everything i write one of my central bits of characterisation for becks is that he has terrible object permanence #I think he wears his heart on his sleeve and when he's chosen someone that's IT for him he's completely devoted #but that means he struggles a Lot whenever he's apart from them #also love the phrasing'falling out of love' in the ask.... ANOTHER interesting thing bc for gary at least #a lot of his identity is tied to his relationship with becks so its like he physically cannot comprehend Not being in love with him #bc its just a part of him. like as unchangable as his eye colour or his obsession with utd yknow #BUT whether thats how life actually works. remains to be seen! might cause him some stress to find out!

[player1064]

🥺

#andy didnt get the memo that ur meant to be mean to gary and i love him for it #andrew cole #gary neville

PLS Don’t think Imma creep:

But I think I just read all your works up on AO3, ples know how appreciated your beville work is. Especially the current fic, I’m so worried for the upcoming angst but my lord it’s perfect. I have more thoughts but for now, thank you, thank you.

this is me n u rn:

but aaaaaaaaaaa tysm!!!!!!! this means a lot honestly it's always hard posting beville fics bc I Am ego driven and they just dont get as many comments as carraville fics do (plus im absolutely spoilt with all the lovely detailed comments people leave on my carraville fics which ARE appreciated thank u guys).

feeling insane about beville just hits different sometimes so i'm glad people are enjoying it and i'm glad you're all dreading the angst bc ooooooh boy. it's coming.

#someone left a comment on the chapter before last like 'this is the only fic i DONT want carraville' #and like. yeah. bc ooooooh boy. oh boy. jamie and gary are both in for some PAIN #becks not so much. he's just kinda vibing. king of self confidence etc
