#geoffs laugh makes me so happy
Note
For nightingale, aziraphale, and Crowley, could you write something with them going on holiday or honeymoon to a museum or historical site, and remembering old times together? Maybe they discover one of them in the background of a historic photo or they’re mentioned in a piece of writing or turn up in a painting or a statue? I just need more of those 3 so whatever you feel like, dealers choice <3
aziraphale x reader x crowley (good omens)
third chapter of this. kissing you on the lips anon for requesting it.
rated M for light smut.
1.5k words.
if you like what I do, here’s my ko-fi!
Your marriage is a quiet little affair.
It has to be, really. Can’t have a big crowd wondering how three people are able to all wed each other. It’s hard enough miracling the registrar to not notice anything out of the ordinary, let alone worrying about having a bunch of guests second-guessing the technical legality of the thing.
Luckily, it all goes reasonably smoothly. The registry office isn’t busy on a Thursday afternoon, it doesn’t take long to get in and out. Yes, all three of you sign these documents, that’s absolutely fine. Congratulations and I hope you have a happy future together.
Rings on fingers, plain gold wedding bands binding the three of you to each other. Chaste, meaningful kisses and wide smiles.
Being married to them doesn’t feel any different, but then again you suppose it wouldn’t. You’ve been together for longer than any human has ever been alive. You were all practically married anyway, getting the paperwork done was just… the cherry on top.
“Well, now what do we do?” you ask, stepping out onto the busy London street. Aziraphale and Crowley take a moment to consider this question, as if they hadn’t really thought about it either.
“Lunch?” the angel says, just as the demon replies “bed?”
You laugh, and the three of you end up doing one and then the other.
Crowley kisses you both hard the moment that the bookshop door shuts, pausing only to flip the sign firmly to ‘very closed’. You trap Aziraphale between your bodies, knowing how much he loves to be showered with attention, and strip off as you retreat through the nonfiction section to the well-loved sofa in the break room.
It feels like there isn’t time to go upstairs. It’s time to consummate this marriage here, now.
“Come on, angel,” you hum as Crowley sheathes himself inside him, making Aziraphale’s eyes roll in pleasure, “like Geoff wrote, ‘In wyfhode I wol use myn instrument as frely as my Makere hath it sent’.”
Despite the overstimulation as you sink down on him, Aziraphale laughs. Crowley cocks an eyebrow.
“What on earth are you going on about?”
“Inside joke, I suppose,” you reply wickedly, before silencing any further questioning with a kiss across Aziraphale’s shoulder.
When you’re done breaking in the marriage bed - after you finish breaking in the marriage couch and then the marriage kitchen counter - the three of you lie together, limbs tangled, the two of them feeling you breathe.
“You know what we should do?” you eventually pipe up, lost between twisting your fingers in Aziraphale’s curls and running your hand up the length of Crowley’s thigh.
“Look, I’m happy to go again, just give me ten minutes,” Crowley murmurs. You almost get caught up in it as the angel plants a kiss on your bare shoulder, but snap yourself back to reality before they can delay your train of thought further.
“No! - I mean, yes, but also, we should go on a honeymoon.”
“Oh!” Aziraphale says, lighting up, “That’s a wonderful idea. I can’t remember the last time the three of us took a holiday together. One where we didn’t have to also do some work, anyway.”
“It was Stockholm, nineteen-seventy-five,” Crowley states without missing a beat. The two of you both look at him, and it clicks.
“Oh god, it was, wasn’t it?” you laugh. Of course. Was it that long ago?
“The Eurovision final! Goodness, how on earth did we forget?”
“Repressing painful memories?” the demon suggests. It was one of those trips he’d clearly not been very pleased about, but insisted his chaperoning was better than the alternative of letting you and Aziraphale run wild around Sweden.
“I can’t believe you had a perm for that whole decade,” you say to Crowley, who just groans and slings his arm over his face to hide.
“I thought it was very fetching,” Aziraphale reassures, squeezing his husband’s - husband’s! - hand.
“Well, why don’t we go somewhere a bit closer to home?” you suggest. “Somewhere like, I don’t know, Edinburgh?”
“I like Edinburgh. Well, apart from one statue, but we don’t have to go and see it I suppose,” Aziraphale agrees. The two of you look over to Crowley. He lifts his arm just enough for you to see the sparkle in his yellow eyes.
You set off a couple of days later in the Bentley, boot packed up tight with suitcases (none Crowley’s, one belonging to you, the rest Aziraphale’s; he insisted he needed to bring at least twenty books ‘just in case’). With Crowley’s driving the eight hour journey takes about five, and soon you’re at your little bnb planning how you’re going to spend the week.
And it’s lovely. You do all the touristy things, the guided tours, the hidden gems, and slowly making your way around what feels like every pub in the city. You and Aziraphale eat a quite astonishing number of lunchtime finger sandwiches, and Crowley takes you out dancing to a little hole-in-the-wall joint he had a hand in founding a couple of decades ago. Your heart is full and you realise over and over again just how lucky you are to be able to spend your life with the two people you love most in this universe.
On the last day, you finally do the big one: Edinburgh Castle. You’ve been in there but only once, and that was a couple of hundred years ago. It’s changed but not as much as you thought: it’s nice to see the conservation work people are doing in old places like these. Saving little pieces of the past.
You’re walking through one of the little side corridors - a place you’re probably not meant to actually be on the tour, but one of your husbands has a way of making locked doors open and the other is very good at getting people to forgive you if you’re found going through them.
Up ahead they’re bickering. About what you can’t say. You’ve learnt to tune it out unless it’s about something actually important. Despite that you almost miss it, walk right past the bloody thing - but then you catch the flash of paint out of the corner of your eye and do a double-take.
Your mouth drops open.
“Oh my god. You two, come here and take a look at this!”
Aziraphale and Crowley halt their quibbles and double back to stand at your side. They’re both as shocked as you are.
“Oh,” Aziraphale gasps.
“Huh,” Crowley mutters.
“It’s us,” you state.
It is. An oil painting, ancient. The only description is a tiny plaque which sits beneath it in tiny lettering: a portrait of a gentleman and two ladies, c 1665. No more information is given, which is clearly why it’s been delegated to a back room rather than hung in somewhere more important.
But there’s no mistaking it: Aziraphale in his white jerkin and doublet, Crowley in a black dress with his hair down, and you in the middle. Dressed in rich colours, heavy jewellery hanging off you. Your lovers hold either one of your hands in theirs, the three of you looking out serenely towards the viewer.
“We commissioned this for your birthday in sixteen-sixty-five. Do you remember, Nightingale?”
You nod. Yes, you remember the two of them trying to surreptitiously get you to pose while someone caught your likeness in a sketch to transfer later to canvas. Portrait sittings were an exhausting thing and there was no way they were going to trick you into believing anything else was going on.
“I thought it was destroyed,” you whisper, gobsmacked. The three of you had lived in a little London townhouse around the time, when your relationship was still young. And yes, a birthday present it was: right before the great fire of London had broken out. You’d had to evacuate the city as quickly as you could, no time to save anything as unwieldy as a painting.
But clearly it hadn’t burned. Someone had saved it - or nicked it, more likely, before the blaze got to it - and now it ended up here. In this corridor. Where the three of you had just happened to trespass to find it.
“Miraculous,” Aziraphale breathes, and you can only agree.
“Should we try to get it back?” Crowley asks. “I’m sure there’s someone I can blackmail in this castle.”
“No. No, let’s leave it. I quite like it here. A little piece of us somewhere, preserved in time, you know? It’s lovely. Besides,” you turn to your husbands, “I get to have the two of you every day now.”
The three of you take a moment to let the idea soak in; and then you kiss in the quiet of the castle corridor. Happy. Looking forward to the future you’re now allowed to live.
“Now,” you announce after a beat, “I think we’d better get some lunch and then I’m going to go and graffiti that statue of Gabriel. You’re welcome to join me.”
“Oh absolutely,” says Crowley just as Aziraphale tuts “certainly not!”
You talk him round though, and by that evening, he’s doodled a moustache on the smug archangel’s marble face with a sharpie.

Fortune favors the Bold ⛓
TDI!Duncan x Juvie Bestfriend! Reader ⛓
Chapter Twenty Four: This is my boyfriend's, boyfriend, Geoff-
Chris was monologuing again. You watched as the man landed the helicopter, currently Duncan was giving you a piggyback while jumping on one foot while Heather and Gwen bet if he would drop you or not. (the answer was not)
The current bid was one-hundred-and-fifty bucks.
Chris gave you all the signals from above to line up. You let yourself fall off Duncan’s waist and skipped over to the line, dragging Duncan to join you. He laughed as unbeknownst to you stared at you with heart eyes.
As Chris landed he held up a pair of cuffs, and Duncan laughed. “Macy sent you a care package.” He smirked pointing at the cuffs.
“How do you know it wasn’t Marcel?” You crossed your arms. “Because Marcel loves me.” Duncan pointed out. “... Didn’t he sit on you until you admitted that you had taken drugs?” You covered your smile with your hand.
“It’s how he shows his love.”
–
Chris had you and Duncan cuffed up together. Duncan held up his hand which brought up yours as well. You both were staring at it and you resisted the urge to chuckle. “You know what this reminds me of…?” Duncan muttered.
“Christmas 2017!” You both laughed in unison.
Flashback
Duncan was thrown against a wall, and you were thrashing against the guards holding on to you. But, the guard happened to be Marcel who discretely made sure that you guys would be cuffed together. Duncan at his hands, as well as your hands, annoyed.
You gave the guards a glare that would make the world's manliest man shrink in his spot. That’s how you and Duncan worked, he thought of the future, how you both would get out of this mess, you focused on the present trying to put the fear of god in anyone who tried to mess with either of you.
End of flashback
“This isn’t fair, they’re a couple who can work well together.” Heather whined.
Chris bopped her on the nose. “When you get a guy that the viewers love then we’ll talk. Stay sadly single, kid.” Chris smiled and the girl fumed causing you to bite the inside of your cheek to stop yourself from laughing.
–
The first challenge was to feed your partner. You had to laugh at that. Duncan was beaten so often that growing up you had to feed him so he’d you know, survive. But the only problem was that the food looked strange. Duncan had an idea pop into his head and a smile on his face.
“Arm wrestle me for it.”
You smirked and took that challenge, you both clasped arms and laid your elbows on the table. You began the arm wrestle, smiling at your boyfriend. “Do you think we’ll have kids?” He asked randomly. “Hmm, maybe. I’d like a boy.” You gritted your teeth trying so hard not to fail.
“I think I’d like a girl, name her Lily after your mom, and then maybe have a boy and name him after James.” Your heart melted and an audible aw came out of your mouth.
“I think we’d live in New York. You’d open up a half-way-house for ex-cons, I’d open up a bar.” Duncan continued. The overly feminine side in you was eating this up and you were so distracted that Duncan slammed your arm against the table.
Fast-forward
“Where are my children?” You had a big smile as you entered your home. “Mami!” You watched as your younger son ran down the hallways of your apartment and jumped into your arms. “James.” you yelled back equally excited.
“Mama.” Your older daughter ran down the hallway, shortly after her brother and jumped into your arms as well. You twirled you children in the air, who were giggling, so happy that their mama was home.
“Now where’s your father.” You said with a mock-serious tone.
Suddenly your husband walked into the room, his hair freshly wet and patted against his head. “Hola mi vida.” He smiled and hugged the three of you close to his chest, and gave you a peck on the lips. Much to your children's horror.
“Mommmm.”
“Dad…”
“No fair you used our relationship against me.” You complained nearly pouting.
“I told you the truth because I want you to eat. I see the way you throw away your meal sweetheart. I want you to eat.” Duncan sighed and a sad smile crossed his face.
“Fine. But did it have to be camp food.” You complained as you looked back at the dish.
“Might as well start off with the worst of the worst.” Duncan shrugged, and you sighed. “You better be happy you're cute.” You lightly picked his cheek causing him to smile like a cheeky child.
You opened your mouth and in seconds your boyfriend was shoving food in it. T
hen the challenge ended really quickly because why do we not give an anorexic person too much food at once? Because they’ll throw up.
You emptied your guts into the trash can as Duncan held your hair back. He rolled his eyes as you flipped him off, still actively throwing up. “Love you too sweetheart.” He smiled sadly, rubbing an arm up and down your back trying to convey comfort.
—
You sickly glared at the camera. “Food can go suck my big fat **** for all I ******* care.” You grumbled holding your stomach, in the outhouse.
—
Unsurprisingly Owen and Heather won, because she has a partner that has a vacuum as a mouth. Duncan sighed, rubbing your back as you laid your head on the table, every nerve you had left screaming in pain.
“Dollface, I need you to start eating at least once a day. There wasn’t barely any food, and you still got sick. I need you to try, okay?” Duncan kissed the back of your head and ruffled your hair. You nodded curtly. You should try.
You would try for him,
—
Chris had you all gather on the docks. You had your head against Duncan’s shoulder and he had an arm wrapped around you, holding you close as if you would fall away from him.
“Last chance for a wimp key.” Chis waved the enticing key in front of you all, and you had half a mind to snatch it out of his hands and jam it in his jugular. You smiled at the thought, man whenever you get voted off is gonna be exciting.
“What’s the challenge, Chris?” Geoff asked, who was attached to Gwen, the goth-girl kept rolling her eyes at every other sentence the blonde spoke.
“There are three canoes on the beach, one for each team. Your challenge is to paddle the canoe while wearing handcuffs. All the way to Boney Island, once there you will get a package. Now go, go, go!” Chris was distracted by the herd of campers so you held your breath to stop yourself from laughing, when you saw Duncan shove the man to the ground.
Duncan sat in front, because sitting in the back made him seasick, and sitting in the front made you seasick.
You quickly got into the water, and began to paddle.
You had arrived at Boney Island, third, Chris’s helicopter dipped so he could yell out the next instructions. Yadda, yadda, yadda, put the packages back in the cave, while piggy-back riding the other. Before you could protest that you were too heavy, Duncan snatched your hand and put both of them around his shoulders and hoisted you up.
A blush spread itself across your face.
You got to the cave rather quickly but were met with carnivorous beavers. “Ain’t nobody that tough.” Duncan grumbled and you both cartwheeled back to shore. (Well you cartwheeled, Duncan walked on his hands)
–
The next challenge was to make a totem pole of shame using the heads of your ex-fellow-campers. That would be easy, hopefully. Your memory was amazing, but Duncan’s was the best, he remembered everything that happened from ages five through seventeen.
Everyone else was struggling, Owen was getting mad because Heather wanted to talk crap about Izzy, and Gwen and Geoff had terrible memories and couldn’t decide who was who, Katie or Sadie. You remembered that Katie was the one who was more quiet, Sadie was the one that helped you when you were sick.
You saw a carving of Izzy and Duncan tossed you his knife, sensing what you were thinking.
You carved the word ‘Kid’ and put a small heart next to it. Chris came over and saw what you had done. He had the audacity to laugh, and say “Aw, little Miss. Tough ain’t so tough.” which promptly caused Duncan to throw Courtney’s head at him.
“I love you so much.”
“I know.”
Duncan and you had won. Chris held up both of your hands and slurred his words. “The winnerz arep Dunkykim anndl Y/Nes.” you had to stifle your laughter and the second you guys got back on the canoe you almost cried laughing.
—
That night at the campfire, you and Duncan got your marshmallows first, then Leshawna, Heather, and then Owen. It was left between Geoff and Gwen. You watched your boyfriend’s eyes fall on Geoff, and the sad realization hit.
You squeezed his hand. “Geoff will be going home tonight.” Chris declared and you watched Gwen stand up in indignation and yell at you all. “He’s the nicest guy!” she screamed.
“Ciao dudes, y'all were cool, Duncan and Y/N invite me and Bridge to the wedding.” Geoff gave you the peace sign and you smiled sadly as Duncan nodded, biting the inside of his cheek to stop himself from crying.

Joy: No! Don't wanna! Don't wanna!
Wolfgang: Kätzchen... We talked about it.
J: No, no, no, no, no!
W: Yes.
J: Please, Vatti. No bwush.
W: Joy. You have to brush your teeth.
J: (sniffs) But... hurts.
W: I know, Kätzchen. You still have to, or it'll hurt even more when you grow up. And if you brush your teeth, I'll take you to the studio later.
J: The paint room?
W: Yes. The paint room. Now. What will you do?
J: Bwush!
Mal: Is my little princess actually brushing her teeth without making a fuss?
J: Uh um! Vatti said if I do, I can go to the paint room with him!
M: Really? What will you paint?
J: A pony! And Daddy, and Vatti, and unc' Zonny, and unc' Don, and oma Mila, and opa Macus, and unc' Lucas, and aunty Max, and ganpa Geoff, and a big doggie!
M: Not granma Nancy?
J: No! She's mean to Daddy and unc' Zonny! Vatti! I finish bwushin'!
W: Have you?
J: Yes!
W: Mmm... I think... You can go play while I finish getting ready.
Joy leaves the bathroom, running.
M: You're so good with her.
W: She's a good kid.
M: Still, you're a great parent.
W: I'm not her parent, though I love her as if she was mine.
M: She could be. Officially, I mean. You could adopt her, there's still room for one more parent on her papers, with Lily abandoning her parental rights.
W: I don't think I cou... What are you doing?
M: Marry me?
W: What?
M: I love you. You love me. Wait, you do, right?
W: Of course, you idiot! (laughs)
M: Just checking. Then marry me, and you'll be officially allowed to adopt Joy. We could be a real family. Please?
W: I... Yes? Yes!
M: Really?
W: YES!
M: You have no idea how happy you make me.
W: I might have, if it's the same way, you make me happy.
M: I love you.
W: Love you too!

Bonus under the cut of Joy and the "tattoo" she drew on herself to match Daddy (which, she doesn't know how to write)-but it's OK, she's not even four yet)
Cutest kid ever.
---
So. That was (more or less) my dream from last night. I don't know if it'll ever be canon, so I'll tag this as "extra", but I really like the idea of malgang getting married, I have to confess. What would that mean for Al and Jeb, I don't know (apparently, I don't know anything about this story), but we'll see.
#ts4#the sims 4#ts4 render#render#sim: malcolm landgraab#sim: wolfgang munch#oc: joy landgraab#extra: all that we are and will never be#gay sims#also joy says that brushing her teeth hurts because she suffers from sensory processing disorder#(more precisely: sensory disorality)

I stumbled upon a random LP almost 10 years ago. At the time I was deeply depressed and had barely any friends. From there I started watching Minecraft and GTA and fell more and more in love with AH the more I watched. And then I discovered RT as a whole. RT Podcast, Immersion, Million Dollars, but, On the Spot, Free Play and many more projects. Suddenly I had something to watch and comfort me every single week if not day. I watched the RT Podcast live for years, watched every LP as soon as I could so I could have something to laugh about every day. I watched some of these people grow into amazing human beings. If I think about how people like Gavin and Michael were at the beginning to now I get so emotional.
Watching Geoff overcome his alcohol addiction, seing AH members and others building families, grow beyond the company, seeing the love those silly people that you watch have for each other used to and still does make me so happy. I used to have Minecraft & 7 Days to die LPS going in the background all the time because their voices were comforting to me. There literally wasn't a single day where I didn't consume RT's content in some shape or form. And then there was the RH situation. Suddenly everything I watched felt tainted by his influence. Everything that used to comfort me suddenly didn't anymore. And for a while I tried to keep watching AH because other than RH I admire everyone so, so much. But with Geoff taking a backseat, Gavin not appearing as much, Fiona & Jeremy leaving I just lost interest. And with my other favorite shows gone (or changed) like RT Podcast, On the Spot, Free Play etc. I stopped watching RT comepletely.
But with the news of Rooster teeth shutting down I'm suddenly reminded of all the good times that were had. During the times I watched AH I was probably the most creative when it comes to making gifs and such. I watched a random Coup LP yesterday and I laughed my ass of. And then I watched the stream they did earlier today and I cried my fucking eyes out. If you knew me, you would know that I do not cry that often and definitely not over a span of an hour. Seeing people that I admire and respect so much like Barbara, Trevor, Geoff, Jack, Jessica, Kerry, Chris and others tear up talking about how much they all love each other and gonna miss spending every day together really just reminded me why I fell in love with the company. Because in the days before Full Screen and Warner Bros etc. Rooster teeth never really felt like a company to me, it felt like a family. And even if I haven't watched any of the recent stuff they made I still feel so upset for them. And I honestly just wanna say thank you to everyone who ever worked at RT for making so much (mostly) free content for us to consume and love. I wish every single one of you all the the best and hope to be able to support everyone the best I can in the future.
PS. I wanna give a special thanks to everyone behind the scenes who kept all the shows I watched going. Production, Broacast etc..
PPS. While I do admire everyone at the company I wanna especially thank all of the AH members for making me laugh so many fucking times. I also wanna thank all the founders for creating this beautiful company in the first place. I could name so many more people but this post is long enough as it is. Thank you for reading.

Buttons: *randomly approaches Elmer* do you want some week old Cheetos?
Elmer: no- actually I have to think about that... No...
Spot: *squeaking his drum harness* me and your mom last ni-
Jack: I need him to come back and just squirt directly into my mouth
Davey: *blinks aggressively*
Elmer: What did he say?
Davey: What?
Elmer: You just got like transported into another dimension
Davey: Oh my contacts shifted out of place
Elmer: Oh and you saw the future?
Davey: my legs hurt. We don't move for this one do you think I can lay down and play?
Denton: okay musicians just relax for this run, you can sit and play while the fronts figure things out
Davey: ooh I'm gonna lay down and play!
Spot: you're an idiot
Davey: shut up help me lay down!
Spot: *helps Davey lay down with his drums on looking at him like he's stupid the whole time*
Davey: oh yeah. This is it.

I finished rewatching Total Drama Island (and I only almost threw up five or so times. All on episode 25. I only had to stop watching for, like, five minutes though. Whoever came up with that episode is seriously fucked up, but I can’t help but to respect it.)
I just think that rewatching Island is hilarious with the foresight of World Tour existing. They could not have set up Heather’s future narrative mirror any better if they tried, like, it’s kind of amazing! I mean, I’m sure the creators had some idea that the show would continue, but that had to be near the end right? Otherwise, I’d have to assume that the creators gave so many of the characters nice, happy endings with the intention to fuck them up. Which, the creators did create TDI episode 25, so it isn’t outside the realm of possibility, but-
Anyway, none of that’s the point. Heather having to deal with Heather 2: Electric Boogaloo is the funniest thing they could have made happen in World Tour. I know it’s a redemption arc, and I think they couldn’t have given Heather a redemption arc if they tried anything else. Like, if Heather was antagonized and antagonizing Alejandro, who Noah says best is just like Heather only prettier more socially adept, Heather would never be redeemed. Some of the stuff she does in the first season is just cruel for the sake of being cruel. If they tried to redeem her any other way than making her deal with herself 2.0, it just wouldn’t have worked.
(And it wouldn’t have been as funny)
I really liked a lot of the episodes. It really takes me back to my childhood, you know? I was only 6 when Island first premiered. I didn’t understand a single thing going on. I think I liked Leshawna because I liked her shirt. And, Leshawna, I feel, definitely has the least second-hand embarrassmant scenes, so that was probably a part of it. I liked DJ because I could relate to his anxiety. Even at 6. That’s probably a bad thing, huh…
Anyway, point being, I totally watched this show as a kid and I absolutely hated every other moment and wanted to die and understood approximately none of what was going on (as a kid andanadultcoughcough I tended to zone out. I missed a lot of plot in movies and tv shows. I was busy thinking about something else) and I think I only watched the show because I wasn’t supposed to. My brothers told me not to, so I went out of my way to. Success.
I do think the series’ humour peaked in World Tour (“If it’s any consolation, you do get *gestures to Tyler falling down the side of a pyramid*” This makes me laugh every time. The line delivery, the timing, even the animation- everything is wonderful. Not to mention Tyler climbing the fence in Area 51 and getting electrocuted and Duncan and Alejandro going in through the open gate. Tyler is the funniest character in all of Total Drama (that I know of, which is seasons 1-3) and I will fight you on that.) but Island is still very amusing. DJ screaming at Heather, her saying “stop, it’s me, Heather,” he stops, then starts screaming again. A little joke I don’t see people mention a lot is Chef saying “25 of us went in, only 5 of us came out,” twice. The second time always gets me. Chef telling Chris he’s an inspiration while cradling Chris in his arms is only as funny as it is because of Chris awkwardly saying “thanks, dude.”
I really like all the characters. Watching it again, there really aren’t any characters I actively hate. I mean, Ezekiel just isn’t in the show long enough for me to hate him, and even Heather has her most redeeming quality (being very funny). The characters are fun to watch interact. I really like Geoff, who was voted off for being too good of a person. Of course I really like Leshawna, who connected the sewage pipe to the showers while Heather was showering to get revenge, which was just really satisfying. I like Gwen and Owen, especially because they’re just the most unlikely duo of all time and their friendship is kinda cute. Noah is fun if only because he is very obviously a 2007 stereotype of a gay man: calling people “honey,” being sarcastic, his voice, hanging around mostly with girls, not liking traditionally masculine things (sports), limp wrist, the scathing way he talks to people (he did kiss a dude that one time but it was in his sleep, so I’ll give him a pass on that one. Plus, it wasn’t even the only scene of a dude kissing another dude. Owen kisses dudes. Kissing someone’s ear and people’s cheeks, I just don’t know if I buy that being significant in any way other than the creators making gay jokes). Noah was obviously meant to be a gay caricature only for the creators to figure out he was a fan favourite and give him a girlfriend, most likely at the behest of the studio. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Noah’s popularity in the first season stemmed entirely from him being a gay caricature. 2007, man. Things were wild.
I guess you could say that I sort of understand Noah’s popularity, especially coming from seasons where he was not the third person to be booted, but also I don’t? He’s funny, which is enough for me to like him, but I don’t know if others agree. In fact, I can almost guarantee there are people who disagree, because I like Heather for the same reason, and people have claimed that no one should like Heather. Unfortunately, she made me giggle once, and now I will defend her to the death. That’s just the way I am, sadly, and I can’t change it, nor do I particularly want to.
Speaking of Heather, I really enjoyed the running gag of Chef being a good chef who purposefully makes terrible food for the campers. I like when he complains about no one showing any gratitude for him slaving over a hot stove all day. I really like that he seems to hate Owen, because he just can’t gross Owen out, but he also seems to like Owen, because Owen compliments his cooking.
Owen is such a weird character, because he is the butt (pun intended) of so many gay jokes. But my favourite Owen bit is him in the confessional spilling all of his secrets because the confessional makes him want to confess everything. Also, Mr. Coconut. Also also, Owen easily defeating the snake keeping them up in the treehouse and, upon being asked why he didn’t do it earlier, him saying “What, and miss out on all of this bonding?” I love Owen.
I quite enjoyed watching the show. It is nice to understand what’s going on. And to understand the jokes. And to realize how weird it is that Lindsay couldn’t talk about eating disorders or boob jobs but Harold could talk about seeing boobies (on American television). And now I get how weird it is that they aged down the cast, yet kept the adult themes. I mean, the teens very rarely act like teenagers, they more act like college students than high school ones, and the discrepancy between their ages and the ages they were meant to be portrayed as is incredibly funny to me.
All in all, I will continue to watch the show’s seasons. Because it’s either that, or pull my hair out trying to get myself to hyperfixate on something else. I can’t guide my hyperfixations, I can only ride them. And this is what my mind wants to focus on. I don’t really have a choice, y’know? If I did, I think I would choose literally any other show (any other show that didn’t make me almost throw up a dozen times). There are worse shows to fixate on, but there are definitely better ones too.
#the inane ramblings of a madman#total drama#total drama island#long post#very long post#i’m only tagging characters i talked about for longer than a sentence#td heather#td alejandro#td noah#td tyler#poor tyler#td chef#td chris#chris mcclean#td gwen#td owen#i have a new fixation#i wish it was anything else#but sometimes we don’t get what we want#sometimes we obsess over characters who don’t show up until season 3#and yet we watch the first two seasons for context#and because we feel like we have to start at the very beginning of series#maybe its ocd maybe its maybelline#who could say#just wanna say tho#trying to give alejandro a redemption arc would be so hard#narrative mirror who is heather 3: somehow even worse#mal was certainly pretty like the original and its sequel#but i don’t think he quite cut it

Since phillip is so uncomfortable shopping for adult items in person, I imagine he does his adult shopping online.
What about this scenario, Hyacinth notices a discrete package from a adult online store on their counter top.
She recognizes the senders name because she has ordered from them before.
Hyacinth saddles up to Eloise and teases her about the purchase and asks what she ordered.
Eloise looks Hyacinth dead in the eye and ask what's she talking about.
Phillips ears are bright red.
What is Eloises next move? What about Hyacinth?
Do the sisters end up wrestling on the floor?
What do you think poor Phillip tried to order?
I decided to make this into a little mini fic. So, you know, feel free to read more.
"El, I have that book you were asking for!" Hyacinth said as she waltzed through the door of Phillip's (and she supposed Eloise's, now that her sister had officially moved in) house.
Eloise walked into the entryway from the kitchen, a perplexed look on her face.
"Hyacinth? How did you get in here? Did the twins not lock the door?"
"Oh it was locked, I used the spare," Hyacinth smiled and raised the key in her hand, "You might want to find a better hiding place than behind a wobbly brick on the stoop. Who knows who could just waltz into the house."
"I'll keep that in mind," Eloise said flatly, turning back to the kitchen, "come on in, not that you needed my invitation."
"So, what are you up to? Where are Phillip and the twins?" Hyacinth asked, taking a seat at the kitchen island as Eloise returned to what she had been doing before her sister walked in.
"Phillip is doing some school supply shopping with the twins, and I'm cutting orange slices," Eloise said, picking up a knife and gesturing to the cutting board that held a combination of orange slices and uncut oranges.
"And... you are doing that...why?" Hyacinth asked.
"Amanda has a soccer game this afternoon and it's her turn to provide snacks," Eloise said, slicing an orange in half.
"Look at you," Hyacinth grinned, "from independent woman to soccer mom in less than a year."
Eloise looked up and gave her sister an inscrutable look, somewhere between an indulgent smile and a complacent grin.
"If you would have told me nine months ago that I'd be cutting orange slices for a child's soccer game, I wouldn't have believed you," Eloise chuckled, "but I can't say I'm not pleased with how everything's shaken out. I love Phillip and I love the twins. So I'm more than happy to slice up oranges for them."
Hyacinth shifted in her seat, "Well, I'm happy for you El. I'll get out of your hair, I just wanted to return the Chomsky book I borrowed"
Hyacinth really was happy for Eloise. She liked Phillip and the twins were an absolute hoot. But when she looked at how happy Eloise was with Phillip, and how happy her best friend Felicity was with her boyfriend Geoff, she couldn't help but feel a little... empty.
That empty feeling dissipated, however, when Hyacinth went to set the book down by a pile of mail and saw a package with a return address that she recognized.
"Well, what do we have here?" Hyacinth said gleefully, reveling in the opportunity to embarrass her sister.
"What?" Eloise said, looking up from her oranges.
Hyacinth lifted up the package and quirked her brow, "Atlantic innovations?" she inquired.
"That must be something for Phillip, I don't know why you're so interested," Eloise said, shrugging and looking down to quarter an orange.
"Oh I'm sure it's for Phillip," Hyacinth laughed, "Or maybe in place of him? Is he going out of town for a botany symposium or something?"
Eloise put her knife down, "Hy, what the hell are you talking about?"
"I know it's a sex toy, El," she said in an indelicate whisper, "I've received several discreet packages from 'Atlantic Innovations' myself..."
Eloise was about to open her mouth when the front door opened. Phillip came into the kitchen carrying a couple of shopping bags, as the thumps of two pairs of feet clamored up the stairs.
"Hey El, we're back," Phillip said, walking over to place a kiss on Eloise's cheek, "Do you want some help with the oranges?"
Phillip then followed Eloise's line of sight to Hyacinth.
"Oh, hey Hyacinth, to what do we owe the pleasure?" he said, settling his arm around Eloise's waist
"Hy was just dropping off a book she borrowed and snooping through our mail," Eloise answered before her sister could get a word in edgewise.
Eloise felt Phillip's arm tense once he saw the package in Hyacinth's hand. She looked up to see his jaw flex and the tips of his ears start to turn red. Ah, so the package was for Phillip.
"However she was just leaving since she knows we all have a very busy afternoon, and don't have time to answer her probing questions about the household's correspondence, " Eloise continued, knowing that if Hyacinth had a chance to sus out the situation, Phillip wouldn't be able to look her sister in the eye ever again.
"Yup," Hyacinth grinned as she set the package down and gave it a gentle pat, "I'll be on my merry way. Good to see you Phillip, give the twins my love."
Just as she was about to walk through the kitchen doorway she looked over her shoulder with a diabolical grin and added: "Have fun you two."
As soon as she heard the front door shut, Eloise turned to Phillip and immediately asked: "So what's in the box?"
"I'm not sure what you mean," Phillip said, avoiding eye contact and turning more crimson by the minute.
"Hyacinth clocked the fake return address right away and knew it was from an online sex shop," Eloise explained.
"Oh god," Phillip said with a grimace.
"And I know I didn't order anything," Eloise continued, wrapping her arms around Phillip's neck, "so I can't help but be incredibly curious about the contents of this unassuming box."
"It was supposed to be a surprise," Phillip said, leaning his forehead against Eloise's.
"I got all the surprise I needed today by learning about my baby sister's online shopping habits, I don't know if I could handle anymore," Eloise said with a laugh.
"It's uh, saliva-activated lubricant." Phillip let out underneath his breath.
"Saliva-activated lubricant?" Eloise inquired looking up at him, eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Yeah, so, when it comes into contact with moisture, it starts to tingle," Phillip responded blushing and looking away.
"Interesting...." Eloise said, standing on the tips of her toes to whisper in his ear, "I can't wait to try it tonight."
Phillip smirked and kissed Eloise's ear "Me neither."

Could we maybe please see bears reaction to Kate’s tattoo? 🥺
Let's take a look at Bear's reaction to Kate's new forearm tattoo that looks a little something like this. And she adds a tiny set of paw prints for each of their little cubs
Despite what Edwina might have to say on the matter: Kate knew she wasn't stupid. She had seen the look in Anthony's eyes when they'd stood toe to toe desperately clinging to one another before she left. She'd seen the resigned tone of his voice when they spoke on the phone. When he took a shuddering breath as she asked about his day and she could imagine that crease between his brow, his head bowed.
"Um- I saw some deer today. I took some pictures to show you um- and then I remembered you weren't here."
Her heart clenched, tears springing to her eyes, "Can you send me them?"
"I just- You're back in London and I don't wanna bother you anymore."
"I want you to tell me everything." She'd managed to choke out. "I'm not there right now, and I know this is really shit, but I love you and I'll be back soon, okay?"
Anthony had been silent for a very long time before he'd said "Yeah, you'll be back soon."
but she knew he didn't believe her. Anthony believed truly, that one day she'd forget about him. One day she'd call him and sigh Anthony, this isn't working, I'm sorry. Something she knew she'd never do. This was permanent, she knew that. So by the end of their first fortnight apart. She decided to make it so.
"So... You seem... happy." There was so much more in Sophie's voice as she tapped away at Kate's digital sketch, the bear frowning back at her like Anthony's adorable scowl. "The Forest was good for you."
"The Forest was really good for me. I'm... going back there after new years."
Sophie's eyebrows lifted as she moved over the the printer, not asking the question Kate knew she'd wanted to. It had always been like this, since they'd met in Art school, before Sophie had left to get her apprenticeship.
"I met someone and we're really happy, he's the bear."
Sophie paused for a moment, something a little incredulous before she burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, how the fuck did you go to the middle of nowhere and walk away with the love of your life?"
"I have... literally no idea. And you aren't going to believe this but the woman you did a feminist art installation with is in love with a man you chops firewood, is building me a chest of drawers, and checked my tyres for me before I drove home, He put snow chains on them."
Sophie guffawed, tugging her over to the seat. "Okay, I need to hear everything about how this happened. Jesus fucking- does he wear flannel shirts and lumberjack boots?"
Kate hadn't been able to keep the smile off her face as she'd flipped through her phone looking for the photo of Anthony, Newton tucked under his arm. "He does. And he has literally the softest hair, and he washes it with a bar of soap. It should be illegal."
Sophie had hummed, looking at the photo as she'd placed the stencil. "Oh he's a cutie! Jesus christ, only you. When am I going to find a man who'll pluck my dog out of brambles without complaining?"
Kate had laughed, her lower lip caught between her teeth, "Well feel free to bring Geoff out there, I'll invite Anthony's brothers out for Bramble plucking duty."
She hadn't been able to stop staring at it. The image on her skin that meant Anthony, burning a little. And she wasn't sure why she hadn't told him. She'd had no problem telling his mother, while her heart had thundered out of her chest while Violet had been openly hostile, the misunderstanding cleared up in seconds until they sat, amongst all of Kate's packing boxes, two cupsof tea between them.
"Did you already have the tattoo?" Violet had asked curiously, her head tilted curiously as Kate shook her head.
"No. Um- The first time I met Anthony, he was a little... grumpy. My dog had wandered off and he told me if I wasn't careful he'd be snatched by a bear. And... I don't know, Anthony's big and warm, and... he's Bear. It's for him."
Violet had looked away for a second clearing her throat. "You love him."
"I love him. And I'll look after him, Violet. I promise."
Violet nodded quietly, "It's beautiful work. Yours?"
"I did the sketch, my friend from school, Sophie she's the tattoo artist."
"Well Sophie's very talented."
But she hadn't told Anthony, she'd wanted to see his face when he saw it. When he saw how serious she was about their relationship. So instead she'd made sure her left arm was always just out of frame when they facetimed, when she sent pictures of her in lingerie, a ridiculous giggle rising in her throat when Anthony's mouth fell open as he stared down at the pictures she sent.
"Oh um- Thank you. You- you're so fucking beautiful."
He hadn't seen it, when he'd first found her at home, when his eyes had filled with tears and all she could think was how desperately she loved him.
It had only been when he'd carried her upstairs, throwing her on their bed, his hands tugging at her clothes until she was bare in front of him, his hand catching hers to place against his cheek, and his eyes had slipped down to the ink colouring her wrist and his entire body had frozen.
His breath had rattled in his chest as he'd wrapped his hand around her wrist, the huge span of it covering the tattoo completely his eyes fluttering closed.
"Kate is that a bear?"
She'd hummed, pressing herself closer to him, her lips moving against his neck, her teeth nipping at his adam's apple. "It's a very sweet little bear."
Anthony took a shuddering breath in her ear, his arms crushing her against him, she could feel his heart thundering against her chest. "Kate."
"His name's Anthony."
There were tears in his eyes, his hair tumbling around his shoulders, tickling her forehead as he brushed his nose against hers. "I am going to love you so fucking much, Kate. I promise I will. I love you, God I love you."
And she could barely breathe, tears stinging her eyes "I love you too. This is it for me, okay? You and me together."
And finally, when his eyes met hers she could tell he believed it.
But even so, the very last thing she expected to find on Anthony's chest a month later, inked in green, the same colour as the trees was
Kate, Always and Forever

…Wow. This is really sad for me. I grew up as a huge Abridged Series fan. And not just TeamFourStar’s Dragon Ball Z Abridged and LittleKuriboh’s Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series, all sorts of the old 2008-2012 Abridged Series; back when they were all called the Abridged/Abridging Community and were voicing in other Abridged Series videos. I’ve been a fan of Grant Smith (or, when I knew him, Master WGS) and Kirran Somerlade (LordMoonstone @urmoonstone) since my miserable teenaged days, when Grant used to make Pokemon The Abridged Series…which I admittedly don’t remember much of.
But the two of them, as well as Chris Zito in some videos like his and Taka’s videos on Nekopara and the Persona 4 Golden MEMEstream, joining TeamFourStar’s TFS Gaming channel alongside Lanipator and sometimes other guys was really phenomenal. Back when I used to watch every video in my YouTube Subscriptions (which I think might have been due to my Autism/possible OCD), there were so many days where their Let’s Play and one-off videos, streams and VODs made me laugh my ass off and/or cheer me up after a sad day.
There was all the random assortment of characters they made and played as, such as Dumplstiltskin from their Bloodborne streams, Dumplin from Xenoverse 1 and Puddin from Xenoverse 2, TANTOR, MR. STAKE and SLOWMARA from their Pokemon Soul Silver NUZLOCKE, Inspector Jenks from CONTRADICTION. There were their silly and cheesy running gags they did over and over again, like Lanipator and Kirran pretending to fuse and shouting “We Are Lirran!” and trying to speak in unison to simulate how DBZ Fusion characters speak, saying their uncle is “THE Johnny [insert intellectual property here]” who gives them the hot probably false information on whatever series or franchise they’re playing, Grant and Kirran calling themselves “Two Halves of the World’s Greatest Detective” and Fuck Box Geoff.
I don’t think I’ve felt this sad since Super Best Friends (another channel that I was a huge fan of and grew up watching in my teen years) split up. I know Kirran and Grant are going to carry on making videos but they and Lanipator were TFS Gaming. After having them there for years, it’s sad to see them leave the company. But I just gotta remember the good times and wish Grant, Kirran and Zito the best. Because they made me happy and I want them to be happy because they honestly deserve it.

The Chicken Song — VoicePlay live performances
For this post, I want to let you do a bit of compare-and-contrast. Below are two performances of the same piece, two years apart. As with a lot of VoicePlay's more theatrical skit-songs, every iteration is a little different, and delightful in its own way. Especially in comedic numbers like this, "Elvira", and "Road Trip", where the guys are trying to make each other laugh almost as much as they're trying to entertain their audience.
Details:
title: The Chicken Song
original song / performers: American novelty song also known as "The Rooster" ; first two verses included in the New Christy Minstrels' "Bits and Pieces" medley (1962)
arranged by: VoicePlay
.
version 1
youtube
This video was recorded during VoicePlay's concert at The O'Shaughnessy theater at St. Catherine University during the 2014 Arts Midwest conference in Minnesota.
performance date: 19 September 2014
My favorite bits:
Layne playfully admonishing the videographer while clucking
Eli's tokyo-drift skibble at the end of each chase
"Anybody wanna milk me?" ::delighted pointing at the audience response:: "Oh, okay!"
"Big guy." ::patpat::
::half-heartedly points at his raised hand:: "’T’s’muh branch."
Eli's smug grin at Geoff's reaction to him taking over, "And an awful lot of it."
Layne, Geoff, and Eli's startled smiles at one audience member's distinctive laughter
Tony repeatedly trying to refuse his assigned role, only to get annoyed when the others don't immediately back him up. "C'mon!" 😠
"I don't think we have that."
Trivia:
Tony's improvised dialog, "Hey, my name is Maggie. Welcome to Matt's," is a reference to Matt's Bar in Minneapolis, where the guys had been very excited to go for a lunch of "juicy lucy" burgers before the show.
Since they were in Home Free's neck of the woods for the conference, the guys had a chance to catch up with Rob Lundquist and Tim Foust.
Tim live-tweeted the show in his typical wry fashion, including some arboreal appreciation for his fellow bass singer.
.
version 2
youtube
This performance was part of a benefit concert for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation hosted by the Alpha Epsilon Phi fraternity at Stanford University. Tony got stuck in Florida because of Hurricane Matthew, so their old friend Paul from Vox Audio agreed to pinch hit. Which made it even more chaotic than usual.
performance date: 7 October 2016
My favorite bits:
Layne shaking his tail feathers
Eli and Layne's little finger wiggle high-five
Earl and Layne cracking each other up with livestock jokes, then everyone giggling even more when Geoff calls them out on it
Eli laughing so hard he has to take a knee
::elbow bump::
Geoff asking the audience, "D'you guys know what Chiclets are?" only for Earl to immediately pull one out of his pocket
Paul accidentally skipping the second refusal gag and grumbling about not getting paid enough
::wolf whistle:: "Shaddup."
Eli doing his darnedest not to laugh at Paul's waitress antics, to the point of angling himself away from the rest of the group
Paul's incredible scream
Trivia:
The "California cow" / "happy cow" / "best cheese" banter was referencing a series of ads from the California Milk Advisory Board that aired in the early 2000s.
The Chiclets gum question was asked at least in part because that brand had recently been discontinued.
Young lads Layne, Earl, Geoff, and James May recorded a live audio version (without the waitress verse) for 4:2:Five's album "Time Machine" way back in 2004.

Hey babes✨ I popped in and seen some HC sharing so here *throws these your way*
-When Courtney loses her shit due to stress and overworking herself and because she tends to neglect her mental health, it really gets to her sometimes, so to make her feel better Duncan will say some shit like “Babe you put the Hot in Psychotic!” It’s dumb and sweet in it’s own weird way, but it works.
-adding onto that, Duncan reassures her that she’s dating a criminal with daddy issues, he’s not exactly the most stable either lmao
-Thinking back to season 1 when they said that Katie and Sadie probably got eaten by wolves, I HC that they both have dark humour and enjoy watching South Park.
-Duncan has a bad habit of laughing when he gets nervous so in bad situations he can’t help but laugh and it triggers Courtney into laughing while people look on in horror, they truly do have hearts but can’t handle serious situations(despite Courtney saying otherwise)
-Courtney listens to Dad rock & Duncan decides to collect vinyls for her.
-IDC Courtney is superstitious while Duncan isn’t, until SOMETHING SPOOKY happens lmao Duncan ends up being the chicken while Courtney’s like “I got this, get behind me.” *she proceeds to smudge the place*
-Duncan loves it when Courtney mutters quietly to herself in Spanish and every now he hears swear words which makes him smile or chuckle.
-When the Paparazzi took photos of their matching tattoos after S2, Duncan stole the magazine that published it & put the picture of the article on his wall next to the picture of the KB5 in season 1 he stole from Geoff
-I always liked how Courtney had pink PJ’s despite having neutral coloured clothing, and people HC her to have a plain minimalist room but not me lmao I HC that her room is pink & full of soft things, and things that bring her comfort. Outside she has a RBF, intimidating af & dressed like she means business but in her room she’s chillin’ with her millions of teddy bears under 5 of her softest pink blankets & her princess canopy fr
-Courtney creates her own shampoo using oils & other natural shit which is her secret of why it’s soft, shiny & smells good. Her abuela taught her how to make it and Duncan smells her hair CONSTANTLY, if he hugs her in greeting she immediately hears “SNIFFFFFF” and his face nuzzling her head.
-Courtney looks godly in bell bottoms, so Duncan bought her some in every color.
-Courtney the type of girls to pop pimples & pluck his ingrown stubble, and eventually she starts cleaning his piercings for him, it calms her down & keeps her occupied. So if she’s getting on Duncan’s nerves atm then he’ll be like “hey wanna clean my piercings for me? I’m lazy” and she’ll immediately stfu & give him peace lmao
-I have a HC that Duncan gives courtney a stick n poke tatt, and of course she’s like “you better disinfect that shit GOOD” after he gives her one, she probably falls asleep and when she wakes up she sees him giving himself a matching one in the mirror.
-HC that Courtney really gets into Horoscopes at one point & Duncan’s like “sure babe whatever makes you happy” giving her his time of birth and everything lmao
-also I headcanon that she got him into stargazing and teaches him about the constellations and what star is which, etc.
-Cuz Courtney drinks a lot of coffee, Duncan sends her those memes of coffee making you need the bathroom immediately after & Courtney just tells him to stfu
-IDC Courtney is Coquette af, she drinks coffee, listens to Lana del Rey, loves poetry & has horrible mental health with mommy issues but atleast she’s cute✨
-Duncan’s the type of MF to blow up Courtney’s phone with texts so she doesn’t respond at times when he gets annoying or she’s busy, so she put him on DND(he always presses send anyways) and eventually he makes her pay attention to him by climbing in her window and being like “y aren’t u answering me” “I’M BUSY” “so?”
I miss your Duncney spam 🥹
- Courtney mid-crisis 🤝🏼 Duncan’s stupid one liners. She absolutely cracks a smile but then goes, “I’m spiraling stop making me smile!”
- Duncney spiraling together? Oh boy. Someone go check on them before they burn down the city.
- We 100% needed a moment after those two line deliveries where Duncney just look at each other and go, “Ew, stop that.” simultaneously because they were never supposed to just piggy back off each other like that lmao. Duncan definitely is the one to be watching it and Courtney is so annoyed with it but finds herself laughing during some episodes. Now it’s just something they use as background noise.
- It’s the way some of Duncan’s habits have rubbed off on Courtney. Like when he was laughing at DJ during the intro in season 1? You just know in his mind he was like “Oh shit!” and Court was just not having it. BUT NOW? Oh boy, if anything happens they can’t look at each other or they will bust out laughing. It’s so bad.
- Stop, imagine Duncan just seeing a bunch of things that Courtney loves and surprising her with little gifts every now and then?
- No because Duncan is 100% used to all the superstitions and all. It’s to the point where if something happens he even says what it means before Courtney and she’s just like stunned but so proud that he remembers? Like imagine Geoff dropping a fork and Duncan just going, “Oh. That means someone’s coming over uninvited.” And Geoff is just like dude wtf? And Courtney’s just like, “He’s right.” Now Geoff is freaking tf out with the, “WHO?”
- Duncan cannot get enough of Courtney speaking in Spanish. Don’t get me started on when she’s pissed and just goes off, he’s in love man. He also picks up and bits and pieces of whatever she or her family says because Italian has some similarities.
- Imagine Courtney going into his room and being like, “Is that us?” And he just rips it down like “what are you talking about?” But he’s already been caught 😂
- Courtney can’t even be mad when Duncan cals her princess because she indeed is one. Her room is proof of how much her parents spoil her. The vanity, the walk in closet, the big ass bed with silk sheets and a billion pillows. Like girl, who are you fooling? The first time Duncan sneaks in he’s like, “I knew you were a Princess.”
- Stop I can literally even see Courtney completing those online tests to figure out what shampoo/conditioner works best for your hair. She knows her hair is one of her assets and refuses to let it look unhealthy.
- Duncan subtly buying Courtney clothing pieces that make him go wild? 👀 He knows what he’s doing LMAO
- Sometimes Duncan is lounging around the house without a shirt and Courtney sees a bump that absolutely needs to be popped by her so she’ll just squeeze it without any warning. Duncan’s cursing and flinching and all Courtney does is tell him to stop being such a baby.
- 😱 I NEED FANART OF DUNCAN GIVING HIMSELF A MATCHING TATTOO LIKE THAT.
- *slams fist* LISTEN TO ME. Horoscopes and shit are so entertaining. I begged Marcus to find out his time of birth and even called his mom, grandparents, and was SO close to contacting the hospital because I NEEDED to know. So yes. Courtney is 100% finding out his chart just for fun. And this 100% ties into the stargazing 🥹
- Duncan has no chill. Let my girl enjoy her coffee without the acknowledgment of what happens after 😂
- LMAO YES AT LEAST SHES CUTE 🥲💅🏽
- I just know for a fact Duncan is so damn annoying. She could be in the middle of a meeting and he’s blowing up her phone for no reason at all, then probably calls her work just to be like “What if I got arrested again?”

Fortune favors the Bold ⛓
TDI!Duncan x Juvie Bestfriend! Reader ⛓
Chapter Twelve: Bubbling up
Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby.
"Todays challenge will test your minds, your teamwork, and your skills in the kitchen." Chris had the campers gather on the beach and Duncan groaned, you sucked at cooking, a lot.
"You'll be cooking a three course meal, and serving it to me for tasting. The winners will get a reward the losers will send somebody home. Each team will appoint a head chef." Chris put a hand on his hip.
"To cook you need ingredients. Every morning a truck brings us food. Today's task starts there." A truck pulled itself out of the waters and you saw it was lined with food on the inside.
"We could do a killer italian theme." Geoff suggested. "Hello, head chef." Duncan smiled wide. "Seriously?" Geoff smiled clearly happy with his role. "We get it you love each other." You pushed the two out of the way and started grabbing food out of the truck.
Geoff laughed and Duncan rolled his eyes. Then you all got to work grabbing the food Geoff told you to get.
You all met in your kitchen holding various food items. "Okay so we have to make a three course meal and there's seven of us. So I say we all team up." Geoff suggested.
You had to smile at how kind he sounded, he was a good guy but some people just couldn't be in charge. Too nice.
You, and Duncan had desert duty which you heavily protested. "Last time I tried to make oatmeal, Tarun it turned out burnt. Hell, I've tried to make you hot cocoa before and somehow made it curdle." You just wanted to sit out of the challenge all together.
"That's because your father was a terrible cook, idiot. I'll teach you." Duncan rolled his eyes and wrapped an apron around you before you could say anything.
As the challenge progressed Duncan had you roll out dough. "Doll, I love you but your not even rolling the outside of it. It'll have huge edges and a paper thin middle." Duncan nicely critqued you. You stuck your tongue out.
He rolled his eyes and got to work fixing your mistake. He leaned over your back his chest hitting you as he put his arms around your making you roll into the correct spots. You giggled, but to his surprise you were blushing like an idiot.
Geoff snapped a picture.

You didn't notice when Geoff winked at Duncan, but you did notice when Harold came into the kitchen wearing a pair of red underwear... and no shorts.
You gave the redhead one look and glared at Duncan. "I'm going to kill myself." You hissed.
"You'd never. You'd miss me too much." Duncan stuck his tongue out smirking. "Keep that tongue out much longer and I'll cut it off." You muttered going back to rolling the dough. Duncan quickly closed his mouth with a small smirk.
Geoff wanted to keep up with the classy italian theme so he had some old music playing in the background. The blonde also had made sandwhiches and when Harold had bit into his, he had spit underwear out much to Courtney's disgust.
Duncan pulled that trick on a bunch of dudes in juvie, frequently.
So it was to no surprise when you hit him in the back of the head. "أيها الأحمق، هل تريد الفوز بهذا التحدي أم لا؟ أقسم أنني سأدعوك بأمي إذا حاولت شيئًا آخر. توقف عن التركيز على رد الجميل لهارولد وابدأ في التركيز على التحدي أو ساعدني يا إلهي، تارون." You whispered in his ear (luckily the cameras picked it up). "Don't call my mom, doll. I'll stop." Duncan muttered looking a bit ashamed.
"Then focus on the challenge." You hissed.
---
You put the canollies in the oven and washed your hands. All that was needed to be done is the pasta sauce which Bridgette was working on.
Geoff, DJ, and Harold who was now wearing PJ's were talking about the dish pretty calmly to your surprise.
You were sitting on the countertop watching the people around you. Courtney was advising Bridgette on her tomato to water ratio, and Sadie was taking a picture of the meals to send to Katie.
"Put your head on my shoulder."
"Hold me in your arms, baby."
Duncan held out his hand to dance. You rolled your eyes taking it all the same. "I'm sorry I was a dickhead to Harold." He said not sounding all that sorry. "He deserved it, so it's fine." You smirked lightly punching his shoulder.
"This was Leo's favorite song." He commented quietly. "Was that the guard who always gave me pudding?" You asked with a small smile.
"No that was Jonah." Duncan quietly laughed as you both swayed together to the music. "Then which one was Leo?" You asked mildly confused.
"Squeeze me oh-so-tight."
"Show me that you love me too."
"He was the one who tased the dude with the blue hair on his first day." Duncan explained. "Oh! Dickface Leo!" You said remembering now. "He's the one that always took my extra pudding." You rolled your eyes.
"Mhm." Duncan smiled.
Sadie snapped a picture.
---
Sadie to Katie
S: *picture attached*
K: AW I LOVE THEM TOGETHER ROOTIN FOR THEM
S: ME TOOO
---
Duncan and you stayed like that for a while. Your head leaning against his chest as you stared at your feet swaying to the music. Duncan had his arms wrapped around your waist and his chin ontop of your head as you slow danced together.
You fit together like puzzle pieces.
---
Chris LOVED your team's food. Since DJ and Bridgette were definetely the more likeable ones on your team, Geoff decided to have them serve it too Chris.
Apparently, according to the blonde girl, Owen had devoured his teams plate.
---
You guys won dinner under the stars. Which honestly you could care less for. You would've been happy with hotdogs by a campfire. But instead you watched Duncan throw sushi into Geoff's mouth from five feet.
It was fun.
Sorta.
---
You and the girls dragged the tipsy boys back to the cabins. Once you got back you heard Heather berating Linsday for leaving her in the freezer. You had stepped out of the boys side of the cabin after tucking Duncan in and heard the words-
"For once in you pathetic life stop being such a ditzy bimbo blonde, and do something right!" Heather hissed at the girl who looked close to tears.
Leshawna was about to say something but this girl from the killer bass came up to defend the blonde.
"Okay just because no one likes your stuck-up rich white girl ass, ain't no reason to act like such a god damn bitch." Damn this girl must've had a death wish.
Leshawna watched as Heather's eye twitched and wanted to cackle.
"Go the fuck back to your cabin little miss crazy. I saw what you did to that intern." Heather hissed back getting in the girls face. "Then you know what happens when people call me crazy." The girl from the killer bass had this creepy smirk plastered on her face and Heather paled.
Y/N walked away not before giving Lindsay a hug. "Tell me if she doesn't stop being an ass." The girl whispered to the blonde who smiled gratefully.
Then the ex-con dissapeared back to her side of the camp.
Leshawna smiled. "I for one, love her." The girl laughed and Gwen agreed. "Hell yeah." The goth girl gave her friend a fistbump and Heather let out a frusterated scream. "Her cabin is over there! She shouldn't have even came over here." She whined.
"I'm glad she did." Leshawna muttered causing Gwen to laugh.

For the AH asks!! 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 17, 38, 44 and 51 (hope that's not too many to answer 😅)
Hahaha, love, no problem at all. It's like 2013 tumblr where I'm just doing all these ask games again.
How did you get into AH?
I'm boring and got into AH through Rage Quit, like all of them! My current (kind of) partner had never really heard of AH and I was going back through with him last weekend, which made me remember the first ever AH video I ever watched was The Impossible Game Part Two. Swiss-fucking-cheese-god-damn-it was the phrase that hooked me lol. Went through all the rage quits and then into the minecrafts and then to the GTAs and now here we are.
Who was your favorite when you started?
Immediately, Michael and Gavin as I was introduced to AH via Rage Quit and I loved their dynamic, like everyone!
Who’s your favorite now?
Favorite is such a tricky word because I love them all for all sorts of different ways. My partner asked me the same question and I didn't really have an answer. Of course still Michael (and Gav, when he's around). I adore Matt. I really love Ky and BK and their interactions. I am obsessed with Dad Michael and Kid Joe dynamic. Last but certainly not least I love the Red Web boyos. I really do think Treh has the softest spot in my heart right now though.
Favorite ship?
I am a ride or die OG OT5 girlie (Michael/Jack/Geoff/Gavin/Jeremy) even if it doesn't make sense with the current layout. FAHC isn't AH really, so it doesn't matter lol.
For new crew? I am a hardcore Alfreyo shipper and BK/Ky (what is their ship name...?)
Favorite AU?
I'm still such a slut for the FAHC, honestly. Although the new outlaw AU is super cute. I also have a huge thing for 7 Days, its one of my favorite games, and there's not a lot of 7 Days AU out there so a girlies gotta take what she can get.
Favorite experience meeting any of the crew?
This will be my 5th RTX, but one of the best experiences was meeting Michael after Theater Mode in like 2018. He was obviously stupidly tired and just wanted to go home but he stayed and chatted with everyone who lined up to take pictures with him. Me and my friend were one of the last ones and I was like "we don't have to get a photo, go home" and he was like "nah come here" and it was super sweet.
Also pulling Treh over for a photo and getting to say hi was awesome.
Poor Joe at RTX last year was just still so flabbergasted anyone ever wanted to meet him, he is such a sweet boy.
Double hugs from Ky and BK <3 <3 <3
Matt gives one of the best hugs I've ever had.
Jeremy was so happy I was shorter than him.
Not AH, but I met Greg Miller at PAX once and he came running over to ME to take a pic because I was in an AH hat and signed it huge so the real AH guys had to fight for the premium real estate lollllll
Favorite GTA mini-series?
Gotta say Criminal Masterminds despite the fact that I don't really feel comfy going back and rewatching it. Only series I've ever watched that I was literally on the edge of my seat. They gotta do something like that again.
Has AH ever inspired you?
AH inspired me to make the videos that I had on YouTube and because of them I have like 300 subs. I don't make them anymore but it was a really great time in my life. I haven't updated them though, so proceed with caution.
Any videos, series, podcasts, etc. You’d recommend to new fans?
My partner that I mentioned is just getting into AH so I'm trying my best to compile a good watch list for him. Survive Block Island is incredible. The 7 Days series is top notch. Weird Place. Haunter, if you don't mind a certain someone being in it. Red Web has my heart.
There's so much incredible content, even from 2021 onward. Binge. Enjoy. Smile. Laugh! <3

On friday, I finished Total Drama Island - Total Drama All Stars, so, I want to express my opinion about evey gen 1 character! ((Alejandro, Sierra, and Blainely will be included!))
also includes spoilers and mentions of both nudity and threats
— 🏝️ —
Beth - Honestly, I didn’t care about her much on Island and Action, but I do respect her for standing up to Heather and calling Courtney out. Someone had to at the time and I’m happy that it was her
Bridgette - God..what CAN I say abt her?? Her obvious worst season was World Tour, she was one of my least favorites in that season, but apart from that, she was a pretty decent character in both island and action
Cody - I forgot he existed for the 3 seasons he’s in until the final 3 tbh- He was so forgettable to me, but I feel bad for him in world tour
Courtney - 3 words; I hated her. She’s my least favorite character. I did try to give her the benefit of the doubt by trying to find her "iconic" moments, however, it was just her being a bitch and threatening people not once, but TWICE to split the million or die. The absolute ONLY time where she seemed like a good person was island, and she was part of the problem in that HORRIBLE love triangle story, I just don’t see the appeal of her
DJ - Bro was a soft giant- he didn’t deserve any of the treatment he got, I at least wanted him to be eliminated fairly, but nah, in all the seasons he was featured in, he was eliminated so unfairly like cmon..
Duncan -Apart Duncan being a big ‘bad boy’ , he didn’t strike me that way- he’s more like an 2018 gacha bad boy that tries so hard to be cool, especially at all stars, it was cringe-
Katie & Sadie - I forgot they both existed since they technically only competed in one season, but I do think they could’ve been minor antagonists since they’re best friends and could’ve been manipulative together
Geoff - Easily one of my favorite boy characters in the entire show, he was a chill guy ((although very chaotic)) and was honestly robbed in island, I was rooting for him
Gwen - If there was overrated put into one character, it’s Gwen, she is decent, yea, but Island was her best season, and only that- Although, she was a close favorite to me in All Stars, she was caring, but did not have to be in that damn love triangle.
Justin - He was OK. Not good, but not that bad either, he had some funny lines but I do wish he used way more than his looks
LeShawna - I do understand why she has the love and fame that she does, she isn’t afraid to talk shit and throw hands while being compassionate and competitive, it was a really nice mix of personalities for her, even tho I don’t understand her sudden turn on Heather when it seemed like they were gonna be friends in action
Noah - I HATE how this man actually got some development in World Tour when he could’ve had more if he’d just play dodgeball in island.. it’s still so annoying to me. But, his humor was fucking great and i’ll forever make fun of him for his gay ass running LMFAO
Owen - I never really understood his humor, and I don’t think that he should’ve won island, it didn’t fit him in the long run, no matter how kind he was..plus the nudity on NATIONAL TELEVISION was disgusting, he didn’t made me laugh in the slightest
Eva - I wish she stayed longer in the merge, she seemed like a hard worker and she was growing on me a bit-
Harold - Half of the time, I didn’t know what he was saying, he was super confusing but he did have good tastes in crushes, even tho he did get turned down
Heather - I know I’m going to sound like a hypocrite with how my opinion was with Courtney, but Heather is my favorite character in the seasons she competed in, and at least she’s mean and doesn’t manage to make it annoying to listen to, I love how she didn’t play and automatically started making alliances and talked strategy. Her win was definitely the most deserved one out of the show, and probably the most well written out of the cast
Trent - His derailment was so sad to watch like..He obviously cared for Gwen, and was probably the most sane person in Island- ..I think that’s all I can say abt him
Lindsay - She was iconically stupid and smart, I loved her a lot, and she definitely deserved to win action, very robbed there
Tyler - I felt super bad for him, his fear being used after bring eliminated, to Lindsay forgetting about him after action..I’m just glad that he’s finally remembered by Lindsay ((and hopefully dating))
Ezekiel - I see why people don’t like him..That’s it.
Izzy ((I forgot to add her)) - The IT girl of the show along with Heather, I loved her, and even tho she always lost, she never failed to be entertaining on screen, 100% my favorite crazy girl
Alejandro - Definitely the right love interest for Heather, he’s manipulative, simpable, and caused many eliminations. He played the game, and I like him because of that
Sierra - Apart from Courtney, she is also my least favorite character. Why? She’s stalkerish, knows NO personal space apart from Cody going to the bathroom, and is just overall a bad character- It seemed like the only thing she was good for was carrying Cody throughout the entire season..
Blainely: We’ve met this girl for like 3 episodes so I can’t provide much on her, however, she had the most iconic elimination ever..and you’ve really gotta be hated if you have a whole ass song dissing you by the chillest guy ever-

Spoiling The Game Awards Winners Of 2025
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/spoiling-the-game-awards-winners-of-2025/
Spoiling The Game Awards Winners Of 2025
Happy New Year! Now that 2024 is here, it’s time to push it the hell out of the way and look ahead to 2025. At least, that’s what it feels like the game industry is increasingly saying I should do. A number of recently revealed titles have been slapped with 2025 release windows, so I can’t help but wonder how next year will shape up and, most importantly, what the awards seasons will look like.
There are still hundreds of games yet to fill the 2025 release calendar, but let’s pretend they won’t exist. Let’s say 95% of the game industry collectively decided to take a year off. Making games is obscenely hard, and to avoid crunch, everyone decided to take some well-deserved (and well-compensated) R&R, so these seven titles are the only ones to launch in 2025. What’s Game Awards host Geoff Keighley to do come December? Continue the show anyway; those trophies aren’t going to award themselves.
To save yourself three hours of cringy celebrity presenters and Genshin Impact commercials, I’ve taken the liberty of spoiling the event here. Be sure to check back next December to see how right I am.
Monster Hunter Wilds – Game Awards: Best Role-Playing Game
Capcom’s tentpole games tend to do well for themselves during awards season, and people love huntin’ monsters. Wilds’ spiritual predecessor, Monster Hunter: World, nabbed Best RPG at the 2018 TGAs. Unless Bethesda hits The Elder Scrolls VI’s music, and it makes a surprise run-in to clean house like Stone Cold Steve Austin, let’s just tape the same award under Capcom’s seat before they arrive.
Big Walk – Game Award: Games for Impact
Developer House House’s follow-up to Untitled Goose Game makes my soul smile. It will likely do the same to everyone who plays it, and if someone has the foresight to get it into the hands of politicians, 2025 will be the year humanity achieves world peace. I think that qualifies it for the Games for Impact award. Big Walk likely has a deeper message hidden amongst its delightful nonsense; as a co-op game, it’s probably the power of friendship or something.
Pony Island 2: Panda Circus – Game Award: Best Content Creator
I have no idea what to make of Pony Island 2, and I’ve played all of Daniel Mullens’ games. No matter how incomprehensible his work may seem, there’s no denying that he creates fascinating content; sounds like he’s a shoo-in for Best Content Creator! At least pre-show host Sydnee Goodman can finally read a creator’s name that doesn’t make her sound like she’s speaking in tongues.
Usual June – Game Award: Best Independent Game
Usual June is a neat-looking indie game from a quality developer in Finji, but they will not be making an acceptance speech. At the end of the day, it’s an indie game. Unless Hideo Kojima falls into an open manhole on the way to the Peacock Theater, Geoff simply will not have the time to let Finji bask in the glow of a Game Award victory. Plus, he’s gotta make room for whichever Muppet hasn’t appeared on the show yet. Expect a deluge of angry opinion articles about how Geoff disrespected Finji so that he could play an awkward game of live charades with Scooter.
Mouse – Game Awards: Best Art Direction, Best Shooter
We all laughed when Activision said Call of Duy was taking a two-year break after Modern Warfare III to reinvigorate itself (let me dream, damn it), but the joke’s on us two years later. COD’s absence leaves Mouse as 2025’s break-out shooter. A good awards show needs a bit of controversy, though, so someone will inevitably point out that the game is inspired by a problematic period of animation, making it the spiciest winner of the event.
Crimson Desert – Game Award: Snubbed!
Oh snap, Crimson Desert might be coming out in 2025 now? But we already gave the Best RPG trophy to Monster Hunter. Well, this is awkward. Crimson Desert also looks pretty ambitious, but Grand Theft Auto VI has filled the “super mega game” quota. Since Pearl Abyss’ promising RPG epic joined the ‘25 party so late, and because one of the biggest stories of any awards show is how a deserving nominee won diddly squat, let’s say Crimson Desert does its best Marvel’s Spider-Man impression and enjoys a night of consistent disappointment.
Grand Theft Auto VI – Game Awards: Yes
Let’s be real; we all know GTA VI will be collecting Game Awards trophies like Thanos collecting Infinity Stones. That’s because the hotly anticipated game will not only live up to every sky-high fan expectation – no matter how unrealistic – but also surpass them. Did you see the hair physics on that one lady in the trailer? It will be the “everything” video game.
Expect Geoff to unfurl a six-foot-long scroll to breathlessly recite every category in which Lucia and her male cohort fed its rivals to an alligator. Rockstar president Sam Houser and a fleet of designers will then materialize on stage as holograms broadcasted from Edinburgh, Scotland (we all know Rockstar wouldn’t be caught dead attending this thing in person), to give an emotional speech. Rockstar will also insist it provides its own “Please Wrap It Up” music in the form of a carefully curated licensed song. Let’s just say it’s Cardi B’s “WAP” because Rockstar is cool like that. Anyway, here’s a small sample of the awards Rockstar is taking:
Game of the Year – GTA VI
Player’s Choice – GTA VI
Best Game Direction – GTA VI
Best Sports/Racing Game – GTA VI
Best Narrative – GTA VI
Best (Crime) Family Game – GTA VI
Best Score & Music – GTA VI
Best Sim/Strategy – GTA VI
Best Performance – Lawerence “Florida Joker” Sullivan as Leonidas Joker – GTA VI
Best Adaptation (of Florida) – GTA VI
Best Ongoing Game – GTA VI
Best eSport – GTA VI
Best Multiplayer prested by [INSERT MONEYBAGS SPONSOR] – GTA VI
Games For Economical Impact – GTA VI
Most Anticipated Game – GTA VI (On PC)

Sugar Punch - Chapter 42
*Warning Adult Content*
- Maddox -
It was fight night and I felt more pumped up than usual.
After I spoke with Clary about our relationship and how things currently were, it came to my attention that I wasn't the only one feeling like this relationship was working and as much as I wanted to try and make it work with her, it was hard to argue with how I really felt.
Clary and I broke things off two hours later because who was I kidding?
I wasn't making her happy and I didn't want to make her miserable with my shit and my schedule that clashed with hers.
We came to the point where we both agreed that we only had sex between us and no feelings, which I didn't disagree with, I had tried to be good to her but the connection I felt with Theo wasn't there when I was with Clary.
I hoped things wouldn't come to this but it always does and I was just surprised we lasted this long before I somehow fucked it up or before we both grew apart.
As much as I felt like a bastard for thinking but the moment the left my penthouse I felt the happiest I've ever been since I started seeing her, which isn't fair, I felt like a dick as soon as the thought came to mind.
Clary was perfect for me in every way, everyone thought so but that was the problem, I couldn't find anything wrong with her and for some reason it bugged me that everything she did was flawless and whatever she said was right.
In the end, all I got from the relationship with her was sex and even then, I felt like something was missing.
"Hey man the crowd out there is wild, we're a full house," Jordan said, coming into the room, his face covered in sweat.
"Hmm" I mumbled, wrapping my hands in tape as I cleared my head of Carly and started focusing on tonight's fight.
Victor Geoff was my opponent tonight.
He was a big name in kickboxing, when I first started I looked up to Victor as he was the only fighter who made it look fun, I became a fan and watched him fight whenever I could, so tonight meant a lot to me, that I got to go against someone I've looked up to since I was a brat.
I needed to get my head straight though, this shit with Carly couldn't have ended at a more perfect time, as bad as it sounds, if I was still with her, I'd be losing my mind out there, I just knew it.
Going up against Geoff got my blood pumping and because of that I was hyped to get out there and do my thing the only way I knew how.
"Oh, did you hear whose here tonight?" Jordan asks, as I look at him and shrug.
Lots of people were here tonight, the fight sold out in hours the moment the tickets went live, I knew big name celebrities were here tonight to watch this fight go down, it was a fight not only I was buzzed about but many other people too.
"Theo's here," he announced and I felt my whole-body flinch.
'Huh?'
"What?"
'Theo was here?'
Did I hear him right or was I seriously still out of my mind because of who I'm minutes from going up against.
"Yeah, you know, Theo," he laughed. "I just saw Tony and he said he gave him tickets on Thursday after their session together, brought his boyfriend too."
It felt like a gold bucket of ice water was poured over my head as I pondered what just left his mouth, my stomach twisted painfully as I looked away from Jordan's face and down at my hands, that were starting to sweat.
"Do you want me to go grab him? It's been forever since we saw him..."
"No."
I stood up, as my head felt like it was splitting in two.
If Theo was here, for whatever reason, I wanted to keep my head in the game and knowing that he's here, right now to watch me fight.
It threw me off more than I liked to admit, I half wished Jordan never told me.
"What happened between you two anyways? I thought things with Theo were... good?"
Hah... seriously, my heart felt like it was choking in my chest as he kept saying his name, it made me feel dizzy and nauseous as I pressed my hand to my chest, as I tried to control my breathing.
'What the fuck is wrong with me?'
It's almost like I'm nervous that he's here, it's been two fucking years and I'm still like this at the mention of his name, I must be out of my damn mind.
"Do..." I sucked in my bottom lip as I stared at the door. "Do you know his seat number?" I asked, hating that I asked, knowing fully well that this wasn't healthy.
"I think he said B side, second row... why?" he hummed. "Want me to go grab him real quick? We still got time before they need you out there."
Fuck... I wanted to see him, just to see how much he changed and how much he had changed, it's been so long and he's been working out with Tony for a while now, he was on a food plan and I knew from Tony that he was doing well with fighting.
My heart was hammering against my chest and it felt painful thinking about him, someone I can't have, someone I still think about.
I never should have let him go...
"No… I need to focus on the match, just leave him be," I forced out, as I felt my mouth get dry.
Theo wasn't here to see me, to watch me fight maybe but he didn't want to talk to me and I don't blame him, there was also the fact he brought his boyfriend here, I wasn't a fucking idiot, my match was a date for them.
It made me feel fucking sick and there was nothing I could do about it.
The door suddenly opened and in walked Carly.
"Hey," she said, closing the door behind her.
She was dressed in a short diamond dress that barely covered her ass, she looked good and if I wasn't such a fucking bastard still hung up on a guy with a boyfriend, I'd be all over her like a flea.
"Didn't think you'd show up," I joked, making her giggle.
I went over to her and she wrapped her arm around me in a hug, before squeezing my arm in her hand, grinning up at me.
"Just because we're over doesn't mean we can't be friends, Mads," she said sweetly, as I smiled down at her.
There was a knock at the door, making all heads in the room turn to see who knocked and opened the door just enough to poke their head inside.
"Twenty minutes, Mr. Zane," one of the event staff said as I nodded my head.
They left and I sighed out, wondering if I could really go out there and give it my best, while my head was a mess from the known fact that somewhere out there, Theo was sitting in the crowd, waiting to watch me.
"I need to go check a few things, so I'll come back to get you when it's time, "Jordan said as I watched him leave the room, closing the door behind him.
It was just Clary inside the room with me now, I went and sat back down to check over my tape as I felt her sit beside me, as her leg brushed against mine and her hand going to rest on my leg.
"I know we never dated for long but I know when something is bothering you," Clary started, her has rubbing my leg as I turned to look at what she was doing. "I could... help you relax."
I moved her hand away and got back up from my seat, I started shaking my head frustrated as a laugh escaped my throat, not believing she's doing this right now, when I was moments away from an important fight in my career.
"Don't be like that Mads, it's not like it's the first time we had sex before you fought," she said, as I turned around and looked down at her.
'Wait, what the fuck?'
"I don't need your help and if that's why you're here I prefer that you just fucking left." I snap out, my leg feeling itchy from where her hand touched me. "If that's all you want, just fuck off and don't come back here."
She got up and huffed out as she walked past me, just then the door opened and Jordan poked his head in, his hand covering his eyes before he opens his fingers to peek through.
"Oh great, uh... they want you out early to check some stuff."
I nod my head and move past Clary and open the door and step out into the hallway, where a bunch of screaming fans being blocked by security started screaming my name as I started following behind Jordan.
After the event went over a few things about security with me really quick, my name was being called as they told me it was time for me to head out as Victor went first from how loud the screams were that I even heard them from behind two sets of steel doors.
Fuck, this was it, what I've been working towards my whole life, a chance to prove myself against one of the best fighters I had ever seen, I felt high on the adrenaline that started pumping through my veins, as I started walking towards where I needed to go.
"You ready for this?" Jordan yells in my ear over the screaming as I stood by the entrance to the ring, noticing the camera was on me as I nodded my head and put my mouth guard in.
I was fucking born ready for this, there was no doubt in my mind that once I stepped foot in the ring, everything else would just vanish away, and there only would be Victor and nobody else.
"I'm ready."
I hit my gloves together and saw that the fight screw gave me the go ahead to walk out.
I emptied my mind and focused on the fight ahead of me, I took the first step and focused on nothing but what was moments away from happening, as I didn't tear my eyes away from Victor, who was equally focused on me.
Let the fun begin.
