Can we talk about how cute these two were in the "Skate with Me, Barbie" Episode in 'Barbie a Touch of Magic'?
I'm not sure if they are going to keep this pairing a one-sided non-reciprocated crush, but I really want Brooklyn to like him back. I also think that this episode has the biggest hints of them being canon.
First, Brooklyn enters the skate match because she wants to earn the award that her parents won. When did they get the award may you ask? It was on THEIR FIRST DATE and wants to give the trophy for their anniversary!!!!.
Who ends up showing up for her to be her skate partner? Trey, who has a crush on her since the first episode.
Comparatively, when Barbie/Malibu gives up being Brooklyn's skating partner, she tries entering with Ken before he sprains his ankle and goes with Rocki. Ken has been Barbie's canon love interest (And since 1961 lmao, but this isn't in this universe of the BCU) and slow-burn romance since the Barbie vlogs and Barbie Dreamhouse adventures. So having the clips alternate between Brooklyn and Trey and Barbie and Ken could mean there could be a future romance between Brooklyn and Trey between the skating parallels.
Yes, there is a point where she says "Let's do this Trey. But don't go thinking that this is a date or anything." Could just be her rejecting him again. But this is the one time in the episode where he didn't make an advance on her. She could've flat out said the date remark thing to him when she first agreed to be his partner. Also, she didn't have to say 'date' she could've said 'don't think this is going to turn into something' or 'don't get any ideas'. Date is significant because of the story with her parents. So she might've been thinking about how this connected to her parent's story if they won.
And if we bring it back to Barbie and Ken skating, Barbie entered that contest too to get the double chance of the trophy. Imagine if Ken didn't sprain his ankle and was a better-skilled skater (+ getting replaced with Rocki) to have a chance of winning with Barbie. That would mean both pairings (Barbie and Ken, Brooklyn and Trey) would be the only 2 left in the contest. If either of them won, they would be paralleling Brooklyn's parents.
Barbie and Ken are a canon romantic pairing, but in the story, Brooklyn and Trey would have to win. So they're paralleling her parents.
Trey was also the one who went and carried the trophy over to her to give to her parents for their anniversary. She even looked over at Trey and smiled when she said she had a little help from her friends. Her parents would've definitely suspected something if there had been more focus on that aspect.
They also wouldn't have had a scene with them alone where she thanked him for everything that he did for her that day. She could've thanked him inside the room. But it also looks like she's walking him since they're neighbours. This is also funny, considering that Barbie and Ken also live by them, why didn't they join in if this was mean to be read as platonic? Hmmm.
They're also walking home together late at night OoOOoooooOOO.
They also do a callback to earlier in the episode where she called him out for not being a very nice person. She thanks him too for letting her keep the trophy, he might have some idea of how important it is to her parents. This could also potentially mean that if he was a bit less obnoxious and a little more nicer that she could take an interest in him.
She's also being kind of flirty too, she's pulling him by his sunglasses which is adorable.
And lastly, she giggles at his life-size reiteration of the trophy and again is flirty when she says "Later, partner."
And he says back, "Later, partner."
So do with that what you will. I'm shipping this.

This is a post for any woman who has been just diagnosed with breast cancer. This post turned a little long pretty quickly, so Iāll likely be writing more on this in future posts.
First and foremost, Iām so sorry youāre part of this club. You likely are feeling a whole wave of emotions. I remember being in shock, scared and completely overwhelmed. Come to think of it, I still feel those emotions often but ādifferentlyā. The difference now is that I know a lot more than I did when I started off on this (crappy) journey. Knowledge is power and can make you feel a little more in control. Just be sure to get your āknowledgeā from trusted resources.
Thereās a lot of information out there and itās hard to decipher it all and what is actually applicable to you, personally. There are many, many, many books and even more articles, blogs, vlogs and forums. Thereās a lot of advice, opinions and terrifying stories. What I want you to remember more than anything is:
Their story is not your story.
We are all very different - not just genetically but by the different types of breast cancer we have. Yes, there are different types. I didnāt have any idea either. I figured breast cancer was just breast cancer. I never heard of ER+, PR+, Triple Negative, HER+, or Triple Positive. I never heard of lobular or ductal or in situ or, or, orā¦
There are different stages from 0 to 4. On top of that, there are many different treatments we can receive depending on the stage or what type of cancer we have. As individuals, we will respond to treatment differently, too. So when someone talks to you about their experience it is just ātheirā experience. Your treatment may be completely different.
You may be thinking, āBut it seems like everyone gets: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapyā (in that order). Youāre right - this is the protocol for some early stage hormone positive breast cancer patients which tend to make up the majority. However, this isnāt necessarily true for everyone. So before you delve into the black hole of what is the internet (like I did), take a deep breath and know that the best course of treatment will likely be prescribed by your oncologist. Which brings me to my first piece of (unsolicited advice):
1.) Be sure you like and trust your oncologist. When I was originally referred to my first oncologist, this guy was weird. He mumbled a lot and whenever I asked questions heād give me a confused look and brush me off. I went back to my breast surgeon and asked to be referred to someone else. I was thankful I did because the new one was super nice and kind. Never once did she make me feel dumb for asking a question.
2.) If you need a mastectomy, do not feel pressured to do reconstruction. I felt very pressured. On top of that, when I finally said Iād go ahead with it but didnāt want implants - I wanted DIEP flap reconstruction where they used your own body tissue - I was talked out of it. I was told I needed to go to a different plastic surgeon out of town and the process could take up to 2 years. It was presented to me as a very long, painful process. It IS a process but if I went that route, I wouldnāt be flat today. I ended up with implants, then those implants were recalled less than a year later (they caused cancer). So I got them out.
I was considering going flat initially but the surgeon was giving me all these stats that women who get reconstruction feel better about themselves and their bodies post treatment, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, when I finally went flat, I didnāt look back. I felt good with my choice but I wish I had it done right away as opposed to needing a second surgery. Iām certain my chest wouldnāt feel so weird if I felt confident enough to go ahead with it initially.
3.) Consider doing chemotherapy first. This depends on your biopsy and the results, though. If youāre ātriple negativeā, doing chemotherapy first is almost always protocol, anyway. If your breast cancer is hormone+ you sometimes have a choice. Looking back, I wish I did chemo first because then I wouldāve known if the chemo was working. Your oncologist may give you the opportunity of making the decision yourself. So itās beneficial to discuss this with an oncologist prior to going ahead with a mastectomy right away.
Of course, most of us just want the cancer gone so we want the surgery first. We also donāt know the extent of the cancer and our true diagnoses/stage until after our surgery as well. For example, I was originally told I had a low grade 1, slow growing ductal carcinoma after my biopsy. Turns out, it was mixed ductal and lobular, grade 3 and hormone positive (8/8 on the Allred score) which meant it was very hormone driven. You can learn more about hormone receptor status here.
Well, this post is already getting too long. š The last thing I want to do is overwhelm you. So Iām going to make one more point before I finish this off. It looks like Iāll have to make a part 2 of this or possibly a series. Thereās a lot of info but the human brain can only consume so much when theyāre new to a situation - especially one that feels scary - like cancer. So this brings me to point 4.
4.) Treat yourself well. Give yourself grace. Learn about self compassion. This sometimes means something different for everyone ā¦just remember to give yourself a break. Breathe. Be mindful of your feelings. Stay in the moment. Do something nice for yourself. Maybe do a vacation. The spa. Spend the day in bed with your cat reading a good book. Take a fold up chair, a thermos of coffee, a big fat joint and get high at the beach. Go for a walk or a run. Whatever it takes to take care of you.
Some people like to get together with friends. I found the entire time was spent me explaining cancer to them, and I felt stressed. So, that didnāt work well. š So I found a counsellor to yack to. Some people prefer support groups. A great resource is a book called Self Compassion by Dr. Kristin Neff. You can check out her research and resources including meditations, on her website. I listened to the audiobook when I was first diagnosed and I found it helpful.

Come What May, Letās Do Our Best! (Newsletter)
Hey everyone! I hope youāve had a lovely past two weeks. Iām feeling fairly positive myself, though there is a lot going on for me! Iāve been working hard on some theatre projects, had an in-person selling event, Iām gearing up for my mentorship, and navigating some deadlines, so itās nice to take a minute to sit down and connect with you all!
Before I get too far into my general ramblings, here is the schedule for the next two weeks:
First In-Person Vending Event / Selling Merch
I mentioned in our last letter that I was doing my first in-person vending event on July 30th. Unfortunately, I didnāt think to take any pictures, but it was a fun time! One of my friends was at the event, showing off their ball pythons. I got to hold my friendās small snake for most of the event because sheās young and a little bitey, and they were showing off their bigger snake to people so that they could pet and hold him. This event was both free to attend and free to vend, and I made about $35. Not bad for an event that I threw together an inventory for on short notice, without having anything for the theme of the event.
I do not know how often I will wind up doing in-person events, or if I will actively seek them out in the near future. I donāt keep a lot of inventory on hand because it is expensive to make and in the past has not sold very well, so I donāt want to throw money at the wall and see what sticks. That being said, if people local to me want me to do local events, I will do my best to please! If I do do events in the future, I think I will be sticking with smaller merch items such as stickers, patches, and pins. My prints do not sell when I have them.
That being said, I will put some limited time posters and art prints in the shop, to be made-to-print by a vendor, and have them available online. Maybe in the future I will have prints at in person events, but for now, I want to avoid it for cost and lack of interest. For right now, stickers are still going to be print-on-demand as well, but when Iām more solid on the idea of whether or not Iāll keep doing in-person events and if thereās more of an interest in my sticker designs, Iāll switch to having physical inventory and managing it myself. But for now, what Iām doing works, I think. Let me know if youād be interested in seeing me at local events, and I will make an effort to show up to them!
Website Maintenance
I feel like it may be time to change some things up with the website. I want it to come off as a more professional portfolio than just a place where I throw all of my artwork. Because of this, I want to shake some things up and redesign the siteā this will be happening over the course of the next week, and I will do my best to have all of the content still accessible throughout the process, but some things may go down for a little while. Please be patient with me as I work on this redesign.
New Merch
As you can see, Iāll have a sneak peek for paid members at some new merch designs. Without giving too much away, these designs will be focused on astrology and astrological events.
Just like the website, I feel like my merch needs something. It feels like time to refresh things a little bit, and itās been quite a long time since Iāve released anything thatās merch oriented. I am quite interested in astrology, tarot, cryptids, and various spooky things, and I want to start putting some things together to reflect that in my work. With my most recent piece (down in the Under Strange Suns section), I think Iām starting to finally take a step in the right direction. Iām finding more and more that the stuff Iām really interested in and like to draw fall under the category of dark fantasy, witchy, and the supernatural, so youāll see some more stuff like that popping up.
I also personally like to journal quite a bit, and want to start talking about that more in my videos and vlogs. This will also reflect in my merch choices ā Iām planning on mainly focusing on stickers, but I also eventually want to release patterned paper and washi tapes in the shop. Weāll see as time goes on.
Digital Painting Studio
The week of the 14th is when my mentorship starts with Digital Painting Studio. In case you donāt know, Hardy Fowler is the artist that runs it and is quite an amazing one at that. Just like with medical professionals or writers, one of the best things that you can do for your artwork is to regularly study with others, learn from more experienced people, and experiment with methods that are new to you or workflows that change up how you approach things.
Because of this, I donāt know exactly what Youtube or other ventures will look like. I may be a bit less active during this mentorship, or I may be about the same. Weāll see how things go. Iāll have more information either in the next newsletter or the one after it. Either way, Iām excited. I can see a huge level up in my skills this year, and Iām excited to learn within this mentorship and find even more growth this year.
Tarot Design Vlogs / Youtube Topics
So, the tarot project is under way again. This weekās Youtube upload is the last week of the Under Strange Suns contest entry, so I hope that you all enjoy seeing the final process. But, next weekās Youtube video will be centered around traditional sketching and Iāll be working on the tarot project in that one. When I originally put together the next few weeks on the content calendar, I wasnāt sure what I wanted to be sketching, but now I think I have a pretty good grip on what I want to do. Like it or not, I ideate faster on paper and can get sketches and thumbnails done in larger quantities that way. Because I want to work on the details of the minor arcana first, Iāll be doing it traditionally. This means that the sketching will probably be focused pretty heavily on suit variants, and maybe composition of some of the cards.
A lot of the coming months will be focusing on the tarot designs and/or teaching moments that I can do with those designs, though I may also take breaks throughout to talk about something else for a while. I also have my mentorship starting in a few weeks, and I want to be able to talk about the merits of that after I take it. One of the things Iāve thought about doing with these tarot cards is really slowing down and making teaching content with them. Iāve been largely focusing on speed paints since February because of some hard situations that have been going on this year, but I want to get back to my original goal of teaching art while Iām creating. Youāll see more educational stuff popping up in the next several weeks, including the tarot designs within. I may even talk about what the cards mean as Iām drawing if people are interested in that sort of thing.
Fiverr
Iāve been slightly overwhelmed with deadlines the past few weeks, and also still need to compile some examples for my Fiverr gigs. I know I keep saying āIāll have these up soon,ā but please bare with me! I promise the Fiverr gigs will be up and running by the end of September at the very latest. I want to make sure that I set it up right and that my examples are easy to understand for each gig. I also want to make sure Iām pricing things in such a way that is fair to me and not setting unrealistic expectations for the projects.
Under Strange Suns
I officially uploaded my entry to the contest on Friday, August 4th. Iām nervous. Contest always seem to really trigger my anxiety, though Iām not sure why. As anxious as I am, Iāll be fine whether I place or not. I enjoyed the prompt and I enjoyed the process, and seeing my growth between last yearsā entry and this yearās entry is more than enough validation for me. That being said, hereās my final entry:
What do you think? I worked pretty hard on it and it went through several tweaks before I was happy with it, but by the end I was really ecstatic with the results. I got a lot of feedback from friends and other artists, and they really helped me push this piece to the next level.
In Case You Missed It
Hereās a summary of the last two weeks, in case you missed what was happening. Most of what happened Iāve already talked about or shared earlier in this newsletter, but hereās whatās left:
The first in-person show was a success.
There hasnāt been many daily studies the last two weeks, because of deadlines, but hereās what was done:
The last two week's youtube videos:
Closing Thoughts
So, weāve hit the āuntil next timeā portion of the letter. Iām sorry most of the newsletter this time around was waiting and plans instead of actions. Hopefully the next one is a little bit more focused on action than plans, instead. I say a lot that itās okay to not get everything done, or that things can sometimes run away from you, but I have a hard time extending that to myself sometimes. So, I promise to not be so hard on myself while in this transition period. Remember to do the same.
I love you all. Make sure that you take care of yourselves, drink your water, and do what you can.

Everybody's Free (Part 11)
Wardlow x f/Reader
Just like all my other stories, this has not been proofread, but please enjoy.
Warnings: Some swearing.
Gifs & photos do not belong to me.
Story idea & request by @lghockey
Main Masterlist ā” AEW Masterlist ā” Wardlow Masterlist ā” Everybody's Free Masterlist
Daniel - Cash Wheeler ā David - Dax Harwood ā Ronnie - Shawn Spears.
Summary: F/Reader is friends with Sammy & everyone in the Inner Circle. She is also a member of his vlog squad. They found out she has a secret boyfriend & they try to figure out who it is.
YN's POV:
The holidays have come and gone, as has New Years. Michael and I spent it with his family in Middlefield, Ohio.
It was nice to be away from it all. Away from all the drama. Away from people who still need go get over my relationship.
It was nice to be surrounded by the people who made him who he is. Many people look at him and only see the intimidating figure that is Wardlow.
What they don't see is the kind, gentle man who will do anything for anyone. That he was a gymnastics coach and visits the children's hospitals to bring them gifts.
The kind, gentle man who loves his family more than anything in this world. The man who I want to spend the rest of my life with.
It hit me like a tone of bricks when we driving back to a suprise destination that he would not tell me where we are going, no matter how much I I begged.
"It is an late anniversary gift baby, but I know you will love it." Was all that he told me as he drove.
We talked about random things but mostly, just enjoyed each others company.
It wasn't a long drive from his Moms, but long enough. We stopped in front of an old home that had a sold sign on the front lawn.
"Michael?" I looked at him, trying not to get my hopes up.
"Welcome home baby." I felt like I actually stopped breathing. I looked back at the home and looked at him.
"When? How?" I had so many things I wanted to ask.
"You told me your dream home before. You wanted an older home that had character and if possible near the water or close enough that you could drive too."
I leaned over and kissed him. He really was my perfect man. The man of my dreams. Our moment was interrupted by someone knocking on the window.
It was the real estate agent I learned later on as the three of us walked through the house three floors, six bed rooms, two and half baths.
There was some work that needed to be done and Michael agreed but he told me we will hire people to work on it.
Once we got to the third floor, I just knew this whole floor would be our master bedroom and I said that to him.
He wrapped his arms around me and I leaned into his chest as the two of us talked about what needed to be done here.
We left our home and drove out to get some lunch.
We got to Mary Yoder's Amish Kitchen and placed our order for lunch. Michael reached across the table and took my hand in his.
"So you don't think it is all too much?"
Wardlow's POV:
I have been nervous ever since I finalised the closing of the home. I had no idea how YN would take it.
But I had nothing to worry about. "It is perfect Michael. A home for us to call our own. Where we can raise a family together. Where you can come home too." I breathed a sigh of relief at her words.
I felt my heart speed up at the thought of raising a family with her. Couldn't help but imagine what our future children looked like.
But that thought was interrupted by our waiter placing our food down on the table.
ā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”ā
The weeks went on and we have hired a contractor to start work on our home. I have been training almost none stop for my match against Sammy.
And YN, well YN has been busy. Her and Pam have started to speak again after finding out that Sammy and Pam called off their engagement.
At first I was spectacle of Pam and what her intentions were until I saw Sammy making out with some random woman at a meet and greet.
So now I am out with Ronnie and David while YN flew back to Houston to be with Pam and to also pack up her apartment as well.
YN and I talk every day and I knew I couldn't be away from her any longer. I am driving the guys crazy with how much I miss her but I told them that they also get like this when they are away from their wives.
Which I said yet again as I Ronnie was complaining.
"Speaking of wife. When are you going to ask her to marry you or are you just going to walk around with that ring in your pocket forever?"
"Shut it Ronnie. You know you can't rush these things. He will know when the time is right." David said.
"I am going to be flying down to Houston soon. I have it all set up and then I will ask her." I told them.
"Never thought I would ever see you settle down Mike." David said.
"Neither did I actually. My whole life, my main focus was always wrestling and trying to become the best and then YN came into my life and well, I have not looked back."
I told them more of what I am going to be doing for the proposal, just praying and hoping that YN will say yes.
ā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”āā”ā
It was only a few days later that I finally landed in Houston. YN and Pam met me at the airport and I literally lifted YN in the air in a bone crushing hug and kissed her, muttering about how much I missed her.
I put her back down but I didn't let her go. I said hi to Pam and she said hi back. Things are still awkward between the two of us and I know it will be for a long time.
But I am willing to try and make it work for YN.
The three of us drove to the almost packed apartment that belongs to my girlfriend and we went out to eat.
Many wrestling fans stopped us for photos and autographs while we tried to eat but I didn't mind and neither did YN.
"Doesn't it bother you?" Pam asked YN once I signed another arm.
"No, they don't stay long and that is just part of being with some one who is in the public eye."
"I hated it when people would interrupt Sammy and I. I hated it even more when he would get flirted with."
I looked at YN and then back at Pam and I was going to say something but YN talked first.
"It doesn't bother me because I know Michael would never cheat on me. He doesn't flirt back with them, not even when we were keeping our relationship a secret. I trust him."
Pam didn't respond but I knew she had a hard time trusting Sammy and from I saw, she didn't have any reason to worry.
I quickly changed the subject and we talked about something else.
But all I could feel in my pants pocket, was the velvet box, that felt like a buring a hole through my pants.
I literally had to stop myself from getting on one knee right now and asking her to marry me, but only a few more days.

I have so much fluff for this idea guys, Iām going to write some really cheesy bits for this and Iām going toĀ love itĀ >:] Also thereās a very intimate scene in this, not spicy or heated but idk I felt like I should mention it just incase. Ignore the botched plane stuff, lines that are off from the vlog, and the slightly rushed ending, I was getting a little frustrated with how long this was taking <//3 I promise tho I still love the request and Iām very happy I could fill it in a way that Iām at least mostly happy with.Ā Anyways as always please feel free to scroll past if anything about this makes you uncomfortable :)
Your fingers tapped on the arm rest, leg bouncing as you grumbled, how long does it take a plane to land? Immediately you laugh at yourself, it takes a while. You need to calm down, itās not like your one plane landing away from your closest friends and the man you quite honestly see as the love of your life! Of course not. Itās just a normal first ever trip to England. This is absolutely fine.
...
Youāre entirely lying to yourself, your heart feels like it's going to explode as it beats in your ears. Fundyās going to be there, the man whoās brought you endless hours of joy and smiles. The man whoās pulled you out of countless panic attacks. The man who youāve had to lovingly bully into making sure he eats and drinks enough. The man who youāve fallen asleep in call with countless times. The man who all youāve ever wanted to do to is yank into a kiss and never let go.
Fidgeting with your seatbelt for a second, you groan and you pull your hands up to your face, resting the heel of your palms on your eyes. You all have known each other for months and logically you know itāll go fine. But your brain isnāt known for listening to logic, or you for the matter, so when anxiety starts to boil in your stomach youāre not surprised. So many things could go wrong you couldnāt even begin to list them.
It took the plane actually touching the ground to land for you to pull your hands off your face and realize you didnāt hear a single thing the pilot just said. Quietly you waited for them to say your good to go as you readjusted your mask. Good god, your fidgeting is starting to annoy you, what are all of your friends going to think? You sigh as you feel the plane finally stop, waiting till you see other people standing up before standing up yourself.
Slowly the passengers started to leave the plane and carefully you followed behind, trying not to get too close per social distancing and all. Nervously you pat your hands on your thighs, waiting patiently while the flight attendant checked your temperature. Once you got the okay you shuffled off the plane, your eyes scanned over everyone in the airport, looking for any of your friends.
After a few scans you finally spotted Wilbur, how it took multiple tries to spot a man who towered over everyone is beyond you, but aside the point. As you started to jog towards him you see Tommy pop up next to him, "Ayyyee y/n!!" he basically yelled and Niki shushed him, whispering something to Tommy before you see him huff. The scene made you smile, he was definitely just as loud as you expected him to be.
āHey Tommy!ā you replied, youāre still anxious but actually seeing your friends in its own way has calmed you down. Once you get over there Niki pulls you into a quick but tight hug before Wilbur flung an arm around your shoulder.
You couldnāt see his smile, thanks to his mask, but you could recognize the way his eyes were crinkled. āHey, y/n! How was the flight?ā he asked as he started walking, pulling you along with him.
āOh it wasnāt-ā You looked around for Fundy, frowning slightly when you didn't find him, āIt was okay. Where- Whereās Fundy?ā You asked, unconsciously rubbing your knuckles together, you know he wouldnāt lie to you but a lot of previous relationships made an uncomfortable pit grow in your stomach.
Tommy from the other side of Wilbur let out a bark of a laugh, āThat dumbass overslept and missed his flight!ā he shrugged, āDonāt know why he still bothered getting another flight but he should be here soon.ā
āYeah, heāll be here. Weāre gonna go get your luggage then weāre heading to his terminal.ā Will said as he gave your shoulder a couple of pats, āDonāt worry your lover boy will be here soon!ā he couldnāt help but laugh at his own lighthearted teasing while you turned red.
You could hear Tommy gasp as Will said the second part, oh god. You guys never told Tommy you were dating, you both managed to keep it under wraps for an upwards of five months. āYou and Fundy are dating?!?!ā He yelled, earning himself another glare from Niki that he ignored, too lost in his own laugher, āOh my god, this is gonna be so great! Iām going to make this so awkward.ā
Groaning at the sound of Tommyās āIām definitely causing mayhem and you canāt stop meā voice, you sigh and pull Wilbur off of you before looping around to Tommy. He was definitely taller than you but that didnāt stop you from hooking your arm around his neck and pulling him down to your level āTommy. My main man. My good friend. My best bud, if you will... I swear if you ruin anything within the first thirty minutes, I will personally assure we leave you in an alley after 9 pm.ā You gave him a stern squint as he just stared at you. After a few seconds and Niki and Wilbur giggling, you give him a noogie before letting him go, āIām joking, Iām joking! But, seriously, at least thirty minutes.ā
Tommy huffed as he ran his hand through his hair a few times, āBro what the fuck?ā He stopped for a moment, seemingly remembering you asked something of him ā... Fine. But you owe me one!ā He insisted, you just rolled your eyes and agreed.
By now you had all made it to the baggage claim and you carefully looked for your backpack to make sure you didnāt grab someone elseās by mistake. Once you spotted it you quickly ran to grab it before returning to the group who had moved and sat on one of the rows of benches in the middle of the room. You could see Niki mumble something to Wilbur before he nodded, āYou guys whispering gossip without me?? God, my own best friends would really hurt me like this huh?ā you say dramatically as you pulled your backpack on.
The two immediately shook their heads, āNo, no! Of course not, how could we live with ourselves if we did?ā Niki replied, her voice sounding just as dramatic as yours. You both cracked into giggles, them falling into her words as she spoke āBut anyway, Fundy might be a little longer so weāre just gonna wait here.ā she patted the seat next to her and you happily plopped down.
The next ten minutes were filled with Tommy talking about basically anything he could get away with, future video ideas, Dream SMP plot, at one point you're pretty sure he started talking about SMP Earth, but you couldnāt be sure. It was a nice filler conversation, sometimes one of the others would jump in and say something but you just stayed quiet for the most part, stuck in between the weird middle ground of anxious and very, very tired from your trip.
When you accidently started to doze off you felt someone carefully wrap their arms around your shoulders. āOh, Fundy...ā You say quietly, leaning into the touch for a second before almost jumping out of your skin, āHoly shit, hey Fundy.ā You said pulling yourself out of his arms before jumping over the bench to tackle him in a hug. āYouāre actually here. Oh my god.ā you are trying your damnedest not to cry as you finally learn just how comfortable his hugs really are.
Fundy holds onto you a little tighter when he hears little hics come from you, changing his stance just enough to be sure you both donāt fall, āI'm here, y/n. I really, really am.ā he said quietly, burying his face in your hair. āI love you so much.ā he pulled you away from him, pulled down his mask so he could place down light kisses everywhere on the exposed skin of your face, making you giggle.
āI love you too, dork.ā You reply before pulling your own down and tugging him into a kiss, it was a slow one, full of unfamiliarity and so much love. It made your heart flutter more than he already did and you honestly didnāt think that was possible.
When you both pulled apart you were forcibly reminded by Tommy making very exaggerated gagging noises that you two were, in fact, not alone. āMy eyes! Wilbur my eyes!! Itās so gross it's blinding me!ā The teen jokes, still fake gagging. You and Fundy just rolled your eyes while you pulled your masks back up, neither you expected anything different from him.
Wilbur just sighed and lightly shoved Tommy, āGreat job, you lasted almost five minutes, thatās a record Iād say.ā Tommy just replied by flipping Wilbur off which sent the whole group into hysterics. He tried to defend himself but all his sentences just devolved into laughs so he gave up. All you can think about is how this is home, laughing so hard with your friends that you cry while you lean on your boyfriend.
Once everyone calmed down Fundy made sure his backpack was on fully before stepping over the bench. Niki let out a laugh as she jokingly scolded him, "The bench really isnāt that long, you could have just walked around, you know?"
Fundy just shrugged, "I mean, y/n just did it! I'm just following their lead!" he said, a shit eating grin on his face that made Niki sigh.
You chuckled as you walked around and the rest of the group got up, "Well, who's hungry? I know y/n hasn't eaten in at least five hours so why don't we go get pizza or something?" Wilbur suggested, fishing his keys outta his pocket.
āFuck yeah, pizza!!!ā Tommy yelled excitedly, quickly stealing Wilbur's keys and sprinting away.
Will stuttered for a second before running off after Tommy, "Motherfucker, not again! Get back here, you aren't even old enough to drive!!"
You, Fundy, and Niki followed after the two, laughing at their antics. Fundy softly entangled your guy's fingers, placing his forehead on the top of your head for a second in place of a kiss. "Oh my God, you guys are already attached at the hip-" Niki said, laughing more, you know it's lighthearted teasing but it still makes you blush.
"Aw, come on Niki! I thought you'd be the one to not tease us!" you said in a joke whiny tone, hiding your face in Fundy's shoulder.
Niki started to laugh harder, "Oh- Oh hell no, this is just the beginning!" she said, you couldn't see her face but you could absolutely hear the devilish grin. You lightly bonk your head on Fundy's shoulder a few times out of embarrassment which caused him to giggle. Oh. That's so much cuter in person, holy shit.
Sighing, you hear Tommy scream making you snap your head in his direction, Wilbur had him by the wrist, wiggling his keys out of his fingers. Tommy let out a loud laugh as he basically sprinted away from Wilbur to the doors of the airport. āOh, we got outta here faster than I expected....ā you mumbled mostly to yourself, watching Tommy fling the door open at full force and quickly close behind him.
āIt was probably longer than you think, you were just too distracted by a certain Dutch to realize it.ā Wilbur said while he pushed the door open with his shoulder, lingering long enough for the rest of you to walk though.
"Shut your dirty crime mouth, Soot." you say through a groan, you weren't actually mad, of course, but if they were going to be like this this entire trip your pretty sure your just going to stop existing.
Fundy let out a quiet laugh at your behavior before responding to Wilbur, "I don't know, I feel like this is a win for me! I get all of y/n's attention and you called me 'a certain Dutch' instead of other things." he smirked, still laughing a little.
Wilbur snapped his fingers, "Oh yeah! Of course my bad, a certain furry was distracting you y/n!" he said happily, as he directed the group towards his car and Tommy who was basically already there.
"Noooooo!!!" Fundy grumbled as he brought his free hand up to his face.
Tommy stood at the car now, trying to open the front seat door āShut up furry boy, I want pizza!ā he shouted, trying the door again.
A mischievous grin crossed your face as you lifted his hand up near your face, "It's okay babe, I love you even though you're a furry!" you teased him, which made him groan.
"No no no no no! Stop it!!" he pulled his hand out of yours, causing you to frown, before he crossed his arms and stopped in the middle of the parking lot "I'm not a furry and you know it y/n!! My own partner for fucks sake." You could tell from his high pitched voice that he was joking but you still felt a twinge of guilt in your stomach
Carefully you grabbed his wrists and tried to pull his hands from his face but he pulled against you, āNoooo, sweetheart Iām sorry.ā You say in a soft voice, now trying to pull his hands away with a good portion of your body weight. āBaaaaabe, please...ā you pleaded, you could feel him tense and shuffle his feet to better support your weight, his hands still not moving. āOh, this is just unfair now!ā you say exasperated.
Fundy tried to keep his pouting bit up but quickly broke into a laugh, it was the fox esque laugh he normally did, it still makes your heart flutter āUnfair!? Youāre the one supporting, like, all your body weight on me!ā You giggle as you start to lean down towards the ground more, making him wobble for a second before steadying out.
āHoly SHIT, I was supposed to make it awkward but you guys are doing a fine job on your own! What the fuck guys?!ā Tommy complained. You turned his way to see him grumpily crawling into the back seat of Wilburās car, āNow stop being in love, itās gross and I want pizza!ā He shouted as he slammed his door.
You immediately let go of Fundy, almost stumbling to the ground out of embarrassment, āListen! In my defense this is the first time Iām meeting my boyfriend! I feel like this is warranted.ā you said as you got up and made your way over to the car.
āY/n youāre gonna have to sit in the middle seat, Iām pretty sure the other two tall bastards would die if they sat there.ā Wilbur said as he checked everything up at the front.
You shuffled into the middle seat, trying your best to not get into Tommy's bubble too much as Fundy sat down next to you. The drive was relatively short, only about ten minutes, and he felt even shorter when you absentmindedly cuddled into Fundy. He happily wrapped an arm around you as he rested his head on yours.
Tommy tried to complain about being stuck in the back with you two but Wilbur derailed him and got him to go on about their trip to an arcade yesterday. If youāre honest you werenāt paying attention at all but he seemed very excited about his vlog guns and you were glad he was having fun. Sighing, you lean into Fundy just a little more and he hummed quietly, if the car ride was any longer youāre pretty sure you both would have fallen asleep like that.
When Wilbur pulled the car to a stop you both begrudgingly leaned up from each other and everyone filed out of the car. Quickly you guys made your way into the restaurant, you and Fundy ordered your pizza first, just a simple medium where it was half his favorite and half yours. After they handed you your table marker you went and sat down, you and Fundy had your own both while Niki and Wilbur had one near and Tommy sat at a table by himself.
Fundy looked at the table marker in disbelief, āOH- Y/n, y/n. Holy shit, look at what table number we have.ā he looks at you, quite literally making the pog face at you, which makes you giggle.
āWhat is it?ā you ask, trying to push your giggles down as he showed you the table marker, it was bright yellow and had 69 written on it, āYOOOOOOOOO!ā you said much louder than you meant to, making him break out laughing.
āGuys- Guys, you need to see this.ā Fundy insisted as he turned towards the rest of the group, presenting the 69 table marker. Everyone fell into a heavy giggle fit, laughing more at anotherās laugh causing a laughing feedback loop.
You bang a fist on the table a few times, struggling to breath, why were you laughing so hard? You had no idea, but man, the serotonin it gave you was wonderful. Eventually you all calmed down, the other three going back to their conversation while you and Fundy finally calm down. Silence grew between you two, it was comfortable but youād be lying if you didnāt want an excuse to hear your boyfriendās voice. You dig into your mind, looking for a conversation topic for a few moments before finally finding one. "So how was the plane?" you ask him, absentmindedly putting your hand on the table to tap some random tune.
His eyes flicked to your hand, smiling a little as he recognized the tune, one of Wilbur's songs, "Terrible if I'm honest, I'm unbelievably exhausted but it's okay. I'm here with you so it doesn't bother me at all." he said softly, his eyes full of love.
Blush creeped onto your face, something about him prioritizing you always made you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Before you could reply Tommy spoke up from his table, "That is the worst and cheesiest shit you could have said, you fuckinā Simp." he was deadpanned for about two seconds before he cracked up in his bark of a laugh.
"And what about it Child Innit? You couldn't talk to someone you were interested in if you tried." Fundy retorted but his words lacked any bite to them, still it made you giggle as you heard Tommy sputter. Your friends bickering has always been the funniest and oddly coziest things.
You stop tapping the table and lean over it to lightly smack his shoulder, "Come on that was just uncalled for!" you say though a laugh, which makes him laugh.
Finally your food gets there and you both dig in, it wasn't until you took the first bite that you realized just how hungry you were. Thanks to that, the pizza didn't last long and soon the space was filled with your friend talking again. Wilbur was asking what to do next, since he really didn't have a plan, Niki suggested they go walk around town to find something to do while Tommy suggested that you all go to Wilbur's and watch Hamilton since he hadn't seen it yet.
A little to your surprise, Wilbur agreed with Tommy, mentioning how Fundy looked like he was ready to drop like a bag of cinder blocks and you had to agree with him. So once you all were fully done, Fundy paid for your pizza, Niki insisted on covering all of them but he wouldn't let her. As you all packed up to get back into the car you watched Fundy slip the table marker into his pocket, putting a finger to his lips while you both giggled. Finally, you all piled back into the car and headed to Wilbur's, which was a much shorter drive than you expected, you were much too used to America's commute times for this.
Once you were they're you all followed Wilbur up to his apartment, carefully you pulled your shoes and mask off before flopping down on his couch and getting comfortable. Fundy followed after you like a lost puppy, a little tell tale of when he got tired is that he got clingy, it was undeniably really cute. Once you sat down he sat down next to you and cuddled into you, wrapping an arm around your waist and craning his neck slightly to rest on your shoulder.
You pulled an arm up to ruffle his hair before turning and placing a soft kiss on the top of his head. He just hummed, stifling a yawn. Pulling your arm down, you turn to Niki who sat on the other end of the couch, "So how have you been Niki?" you ask, it's been a while since your last one on one conversation with her.
"Oh I've been okay!" she said happily, her eyes vaguely watching Tommy and Wilbur fight over the TV remote, "Been thinking about getting into art again, I'm not really sure yet though." she continued, trying not to laugh when she saw Wilbur basically sitting on top of Tommy, remote in hand.
A smile spread across your lips as you also tired not to laugh, mostly not to disturb your almost sleeping lover, "Oh really? That's great to hear!" you say as Tommy curses Wilbur out, insisting that he should have just let him pull Hamilton up, "I think you should go for it, especially if it makes you happy! I bet your fans, especially fanartist, would love it." you encourage her, you didn't interact with the Minecraft Youtuber fan community often, but a hunch told you that you were right.
"Maybe, maybe..." she nodded, it was hard to explain but you could tell she seemed at least a little more sure of herself now. By now Wilbur had let Tommy off of the ground as he pressed play on Hamilton. You've never seen the actual musical but you've heard all the songs enough to know them by heart, whether that was a good thing or not you couldn't tell.
Once the musical started playing the Wilbur and Tommy scrambled to the two recliners on either side of Wilbur's couch, getting comfortable for the long show. You frankly didn't watch it all that much, mostly just listening as you closed your eyes and rested your head on Fundy's. All your movements were deliberate, you were being very careful and highly aware just to make sure you didn't jolt him awake. Not that you were sure he was asleep, but you'd rather be safe than sorry.
You basically spoke it into existence because within the next five minutes you notice his breathing even out and the hand on your hip becomes loose, limp even. You silently curse to yourself as you realize just how badly this is going to hurt his neck. After debating with yourself for what you would call way to long you decide to catch Niki's attention, "Psst, Niki, Nikiiiiii," you say quietly, dragging out the second 'i' till she looks over at you, "would you mind if Fundy rested his feet, well legs- heās fuckinā tall- his feet would be more on the arm rest- on you? I don't want him to hurt his neck." you say gesturing to him.
She gives you a quick nod and you lightly shake Fundy's shoulder, "Hey baby, lay your head down in my lap, I don't want you hurting your neck." you whisper, he grumbles some but listens to you. Once his head is in your lap he pulls his legs to his chest and seemingly falls back asleep. Noticing this you look up at Niki and shrug, she shrugs back with a soft smile before turning back to the musical.
Carefully you run your hands through his hair and he unconsciously leans into the touch making you smile. He's a lot more fox-like than he'll ever admit but that's okay, he doesn't need to admit it for it to be cute. With your boyfriend much more comfortable you happily turn your attention to the screen, absentmindedly messing with his hair as you sing along to the songs under your breath.
When the musical ended Tommy let out a loud cheer, which caught everyone off guard and definitely made you jump which in turn made Fundy jump awake. āOh shit- What happening?ā he asked as he sat up and straightened his legs while rubbing his face.
āYou passed out during one of the best musicals ever, dickhead.ā Tommy replied deadpan and all Fundy replied with was a very confused and tired face. Tommy scoffed and looked away, making you laugh, how and why that boy was always so dramatic you donāt know but it was undoubtedly entertaining.
Shrugging, Fundy leaned over and placed a soft kiss on your cheek, āHey, babe.ā he said, lingering just long enough for you to place a kiss on his cheek back before leaning away again. āSo whatās the plan now?ā he asked, yawning.
āWell, Niki did suggest we walk around and just look for stuff to do, so why donāt we do that?ā Wilbur asked, āEspecially since now Fundyās had a nap and all.ā he stood up and stretched, groaning quietly.
Fundy followed after him, much to your surprise, and as he stood up he looped his arm in yours and pulled you up with him. You halfheartedly groan but don't stop him, "I'll be honest I've barely seen the ocean, let alone literally any other country." you mostly mumble, processing just how embarrassing that is to say to a bunch of Europeans.
Tommy shot up from his seat, "You've never seen the ocean??" he basically screams, getting a lighthearted smack from Wilbur, "Guys. Guys. We gotta go to the boardwalk, y/n would love it, it's considered-" he faked gagged, "-romantic."
You roll your eyes but don't argue, slightly leaning on Fundy for a few seconds before you lean up and gently place a kiss on his lips. There was a slight second of surprise on his face before it melted into a lovestruck look as he looked down at you. Your heartbeat was in your throat, that is a look you'll never get used to, a look that says you're the only person in his world, or at least the only one right now.
Before you could kiss him again Niki lightly shoulder checked you, oh shit, when did she get up? "Get your shoes on lovebirds." she said, you looked around to see the other three were basically already to go and scramble away from Fundy, your face going bright red.
You quickly make your way to your shoes, pull them on and put your mask on, and open the door for the others. The other three filed out, Wilbur waiting by the door frame and once you shut the door he locked it. āAye, y/n, do you mind if I vlog? Iām a vlogger now!ā Tommy asked as you all made your way to the street, he dramatically dragged out how he said āvloggerā making you laugh a little harder than you meant to.
āGo for it big man, I donāt care if Fundy doesnāt.ā You reply, threading your fingers in Fundyās while the group starts walking, Tommy and Wilbur leading the group.
Fundy shrugged, āSince y/nās okay with it, go crazy.ā he agreed, Tommy let out a cheer and shoulder checked Wilbur just to mess with him. You canāt help but chuckle, āWhatās so funny?ā Fundy asks.
Waving your free hand you laugh a little more, āOh, just seeing Will and Tommy in person reminded me how I thought they were actually brothers before we all got close.ā
He looked at the two in question, squinting his eyes for a couple of seconds before he nodded, āYeah! I see it, they definitely act like it.ā he said as they burst out into a Hamilton song, Niki laughing as she joined in. Before you knew it Tommy had pulled out his phone, recording their shenanigans with a bright smile on his face.
It was all really loud and energetic so you and Fundy just quietly watched as the chaos unfolded. Tommy picked random times to start vlogging, catching half conversations and shots of the town. It all felt familiar even though you were the only one who didnāt really stream or do youtube, but it reminds you of when you just chill in their streams, mostly in the background to vibe. After a bit of wandering around you all ended up at a little food stand, getting a small snack before you went onto the boardwalk.
Once you all finished your snacks, Tommy started recording again, āI never know what I should record with these things.ā he said, turning to look at Wilbur who just shrugged.
āThe trick to making a good vlog is to just record everything, like just go up to people and ask āHey, can I vlog?āā Wilbur said, talking slightly with his hands.
Tommy groaned, āBut then I look like a dickhead-!ā
āNot if you ask!ā Wilbur insisted, interrupting the teen. āRecord your feet as you walk and go up to people and ask them random questions.ā he continued, you watched the look on Tommyās face turn mischievous as he turned the camera to Fundy and you.
āHey! Fundy! What do you think of women?ā Tommy asked, the phone all too close to Fundy. He stumbled for a slight second before pulling up the 69 table marker, barely holding a straight face as he tried to not laugh. āOh- Oh my god! That is so incredibly offensive. Is that- Is that all women are to you Fundy?ā Tommy asked while he cackled, causing everyone else to laugh with him. āSexist Fundy!! Sexist Fundy and his sexist by association partner!ā He joked.
That made you lose your mind, something about being sexist by association was the funniest goddamn thing youād heard all day. You leaned onto Fundy as you struggled to breathe, instinctively you repeated the joke under your breath as you laughed which somehow sent the group into another laughing fit as Tommy tired to move on with the bit.
Eventually you all dropped the bit and happily spent the next two hours just wandering around the boardwalk and talking about whatever came to mind. Around the hour mark NIki had to leave, giving you all light hugs before she left on her own. The other hour was basically Tommyās podcast, not that you were complaining, it was nice to listen too as the topics naturally jumped between each other and you did make sure to add your input when you felt like it was needed. It wasnāt until Tommy had gone on a long ramble about the youtube algorithm that you actually started to tune out. You swung your hand that held Fundyās with a little bit of force, a smile in your eyes as you looked out at the ocean. āReally pretty, huh?ā Fundy asked, knocking you out of your thoughts.
āOh yeah, Iām so used to fields I never thought oceans would look this pretty...ā You say quietly before you turn to Fundy and squeeze his hand in yours, āBut Iād say you're still the prettiest thing Iāve seen by a long shot!ā You whisper to him, your voice soft with adoration as you watch his face go red under his mask.
He quickly looked away from you, ducking his head a little, āThen you should really start investing in mirrors if you think Iām the prettiest thing.ā he replied just as quietly, his voice a little unsteady. It was cute to watch him flirt, how he tended to tiptoe the line of stuttering, rarely looking you in the eyes when he said it.
Your face heats up as you tilt your head, āOh, really?ā You ask, āI feel like I nee-ā you go to continue before Tommy screams, making you jump and everyone to stop in their tracks. Your head snaps in his direction as his phone starts to ring, which true to his brand his ringtone was able sisters.
The rest of you stayed mostly quiet, absentmindedly you teetered from leg to leg while you tried your best to not eavesdrop on Tommy's conversation. Which was a much harder task than youād expect, whether Tommy had his call volume all the way up or his dad is where he gets his loud persona from and you could hear his dad say heād be at Wilburās to pick him up in a little under an hour. Tommy said okay and quickly hung up, probably to avoid his dad saying anything that embarrassed him which made you chuckle. He swiped at his phone a few times before holding his phone up near his face, āOkay, we gotta finish this vlog up! Wilbur, it was nice hanging out with you and-ā He turned the camera to Fundy, laughing at his annoyed look, ā-and sad Fundy.ā He turned to the sky in front of you guys.
Quickly, Tommy and Wilbur devolved into banter as they ended the vlog and Fundy drags you to a bench on the side of the boardwalk. āTommy was right though,ā he says quietly and he wrapped an arm around your shoulder, pulling you to rest on his shoulder. āthe boardwalk is pretty romantic.ā
You giggle as you lean into him more, āAnd youāre pretty cheesy.ā
āOh, so you get to call me the prettiest thing youāve ever seen, but I donāt get to say that walking on a boardwalk with the love of my life is romantic?ā Fundy grumbles but thereās no bite to it.
āWell yeah! That- Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.ā You interrupted yourself, finally processing the words he just said, you bring your hands up to his face and cup it lightly, āFundy- Fundy did you just call me the,ā you swallow thickly, itās not a problem if did, itās just. You werenāt expecting him to care as much as you did already, multiple past relationships had taught you that you fall too hard and too fast for others to keep up, even if they wanted to. āThe love of your life?ā your voice drops to a whisper, like you hadnāt been dating for five months already and he could reject you right here, right now.
Fundy couldnāt help the light chuckle that left him and he brought his free hand to rest on one you had on his face, āOf course,ā his eyes soften as he watches shock and blush spread across your face, āI had fallen in love with you the first time I heard your voice and I only fall more everyday.ā He rubbed his thumb on your hand, you thought youād pass out with how your heart soared at the lovestruck look he gave you, āHell, y/n Iām pretty sure Iāve fallen in love with you more every second of this trip.ā he moved to kiss the top of your head before remembering the masks and just resting his face in your hair.
Any and all words had completely dropped out of your head, āIā¦ I donāt know how to respond to thatā¦'' You mumbled, moving your hands from his face to wrap your arms around his waist as you bury your face into his body.
He hummed quietly, rubbing your shoulder, āAnd thatās fine, I already know you love me, donāt worry.ā he yawned at the end of his sentence, snuggling into you more as he closed his eyes.
āHow are you still tired?ā You ask in a mumbe, surprised.
Shrugging, Fundy holds in another yawn, āMaybe you should just stop feeling as comfortable as home does, then maybe I won't be so tired.ā He replies, while his words held weight his voice was soft.
Lazily, your gaze fell to the horizon, then to an arguing Wilbur and Tommy, you couldnāt hear them but you could assume they were arguing over something trivial. āNever,ā you reply quietly, āif feeling like home to you means I get to hold you in my arms, then I never want to change that. I can deal with a clingy sleepy Funs for the rest of my life, frankly I think itās cute.ā you can feel him tense from embarrassment under you.
He quickly relaxes and grumbles and hides his face in your hair more, āIām going to never be tired again out of spite now.ā he said, mumbled by your hair.
You can help but laugh, your entire body bouncing with it as you replied, āYeah, sure love. Whatever you say.ā As hard as he tried he canāt keep a straight face and he quickly falls into giggling with you. After a bit you both calm down, simply enjoying each other's company while you donāt have any of your friends to, albeit lovingly, bully you. Neither of you are really sure how long you sat there, but before you knew it Wilbur was shaking your shoulder.
āGet up lovebirds or the offer to my guest bedroom is void.ā He said in a dead tone, if you couldnāt see him you possibly would have believed him but his eyes said the opposite.
Sighing, you wiggled your way out of Fundyās arms and tugged him up with you, intertwining your fingers. āOh nooo! Whatever should we do! Fundy, my love, heās going to make us sleep outside on this cold Brighton night!ā You dramatically lean on him, bringing your hand to your forehead, suppressing a smile as you watched him try not to laugh.
Wilbur smirked as he puffed out his chest and touched it with just his finger tips, āIt is all going to plan! Thy shall perish by sunrise!ā his voice sounded like a rich british person making it impossible for any of you to keep a straight face, Fundy was the first to double over in laughter, you and Wilbur followed close behind.
Slowly the wheezing calmed down and you all came back to your senses, wide smiles plastered onto your faces, āWait, did Tommy leave?ā You ask, frowning some.
Stretching his arms above his head, Wilbur nodded, āYeah, his dad picked him up while you and Fundy were having your moment on the bench. He didnāt wanna interrupt you guys.ā he shrugs.
You canāt help but grumble, āDamn, I at least wanted to say goodbye to him!ā
Reaching over, Wilbur lightly pats your shoulder, āEy, donāt take it personally. You know heās a busy guy, plus you know he cares for you.ā
Nodding, you lean into Fundy again as you all silently come to the decision to start walking home. It was nice to listen to Fundy and Wilbur ramble on about things together, going from DreamSMP lore, to Wilbur's new album, to Fundy's new plugins, before looping back to music as Wilbur opened his front door. You didnāt really pay attention to what they were saying, just enjoying the noise of their voices.
As you all step in you pull off your shoes and masks, moving into the living room, āYou can play my keyboard if you want Fundy.ā You hear Wilbur say, visibly perking up at the idea, which Wilbur noticed, snickering as moved further into his house, āSeems like y/n very interested in the idea of you serenading them with your piano skills.ā
Now theyāre both laughing and youāre pretty sure this is where you sign your will and accept your fate. Quietly grumbling, you bury your face in your free hand, āBoth of you shut your ups, I swear to god, Iāll go sleep in the airport.ā you threaten, even though youāre all aware thatās an empty threat.
Fundy just laughs, letting go of your hand to wrap an arm around you āAll you had to do is ask, you know.ā you could hear the smile in his voice as he spoke which only made you blush more. Stupid cute boyfriend and his cute laugh and smiles and kind touches and- You pull your other hand up to your face and drag them down before pull them back up and through your hair.
You looked at Fundy with a loving but exhausted face, āYouāre going to be the end of me, you know that right?ā You say, only a little exasperated, you can still feel the heat on your face.
He smiled at you, it's warn, genuine, as he replied, āThatās okay, youāll be the end to me tooā he placed a soft kiss on your forehead. Smiling, you snaked your arms around him and pulled him into a kiss as he moved so that his hands so that they rested on your hips. Before you pulled apart you both could hear Wilbur yell something from his bedroom, office? Broffice. Chuckling as you finally did pull apart, Fundy pulled you to the broffice, Wilbur sat in front of his keyboard before noticing you guys and getting up.
He dragged you over with him and sat down, patting the seat for you to sit with him and you did, leaning on him lightly as he played a few short things to get used to the keyboard. It was nice to listen to, the small mistakes made you smile as you watched his hands, āWill, you should tell me where you got this, my keyboard is all wobbly. Makes playing certain songs hell.ā he said, starting to play C418 Sweden.
Sighing, you close your eyes, sinking into the music and the warmth of Fundy pressed against you. Fundy switched through songs he knew carefully playing to be sure not to jostle you too much, youāre not sure when it happened but at some point you could hear Wilburās guitar. Quietly you hummed along while the two played, in the back of your mind all you could think about was doing this more often. Weekly would be nice, just a bunch of your friends get together and you listen to your boyfriend and best friends play.
Before you knew it Fundy was lightly shaking you awake, āBabe, come on, come with me to our room.ā He says quietly. You let out a hum, letting him pull you up and along to your shared room. You hear some shuffling and zipping of bags as you halfheartedly try to rub the sleep out of your eyes. āHere, go change out of your jeans, sleeping in those isnāt exactly comfortable.ā he said softly, shoving a pair of sweats and a t-shirt into your arms. You move over to the bed and set them down before stripping to change, which immediately makes Fundy squeak, āWOAH- Woah- I- Hold on!ā Fundy stuttered out as he turned around.
You canāt help but giggle as you pull off your shirt, āWhy are you so embarrassed? Youāre my boyfriend, you know?ā you tease him as you slide on the shirt he gave you, the first thing you notice is how big it is, had to be one of his shirts.
You watch him bring his hands to his face, you could see how red his ears were from here, āWell, I mean, yeah but Iām being polite.ā He mumbled, ducking his head as he moved his hands to the back of his head.
Pulling off the jeans quickly before slipping on the sweats, you walk over to Fundy and loop your arms around his waist, resting your face on his back. āOkay, Mr. Iām Very Polite and Nice, Iām all changed. Itās time for bed.ā You say, tugging him slightly towards the bed. He nodded and pulled himself out of your grasp, headed to the bed as he dragged you along. He flopped down and you soon followed, quickly he shuffled the blanket over you both and pulled you into his chest.
The two of you sat there quietly, relishing in each other's touch as you listened to the otherās heartbeat. It was almost overwhelming how much Fundy felt like home, how his touches brought a sense of calm you didnāt you could get to. It was weird, new, exciting even, in its own way.
Then the fact you were leaving tomorrow hit you like a ton of bricks. Your brain starts to spiral, unconsciously your grip tightens on the front of Fundyās shirt. You feel like you canāt breathe. Your eyes blur as you feel Fundy grab your hand, steadying it- wait when did you start shaking? He rubbed soft circles on it, his other hand felt grounding on your back as you curled into him just ever so slightly more. Two days wasn't enough. One night wasn't enough. You don't know how you're going to breathe now that you've learned what it feels like to actually have him by your side. "It's not fair." you quietly grumble, the words barely comprehensible.
His grip on your shirt tightens as he places a kiss on the top of your head, "I know, I know babe..." his voice was soft as he spoke, "Let's just enjoy it while we have it."
All you can do is nod, your brain too busy trying to memorize what it felt like to have your head tucked under his chin and your arms around his waist. After a couple of cozy silent minutes Fundy started to hum a tune, you couldn't recognize it but you know he's sung it to you before. You could feel the hums in his chest, the scene felt surreal, like every other part of this day. You didnāt bother stopping the tears that pricked your eyes.
You fell asleep like that, him humming quietly and rubbing calming circles on your back. Trying your best you committed every touch to memory as you slowly faded into sleep, just barely catching Fundy whispering "I love you, y/n." as you feel into one of the most comfortable rests of your life.
When you woke up your arms and legs were entangled with Fundyās gangly ones, his face softly tucked into the crook of your neck. You didnāt want to move and unless someone had a real good reason you werenāt going to. Youāre pretty sure this is what heaven feels like, holding the love of your life close as the sun poked through the half drawn curtains making the whole situation feel all the more unreal. That moment was cut short as Fundy started to wake up, instinctively pulling away from you as he did so. You whine quietly and weakly try to pull him back, after a few seconds he listens and reburies his face in your neck.
The two of you laid there like that for a while, probably around an hour, before you begrudgingly tell him you both should get up. Fundy let out a loud groan as you slipped out of his grasp, you sat up and stretched your arms over your head, looking over at him who now laid with his arms stretched out from his body.
Wait. When did he take his shirt off? Of course you've seen him shirtless before but something about seeing it in person is fundamentally different. It felt so much more, intimate, than before. You hadn't even realized you were staring till Fundy spoke up, a laugh in his words "If your gonna stare might as well touch." his voice was low, still laced with sleep.
"Wh- I- Uh. Well. I mean-" you stutter out, looking away making him laugh more. After a few seconds you look back at him, he didn't move at all, which didn't surprise you. Silently you turn towards him, you glance up at him holding his sleepy gaze as your hand hovered over his waist. He gave you a small encouraging nod and you lightly touched him, his muscles involuntarily tense at your touch, shit your hands were cold werenāt they? You internally cringe at yourself but just as quickly as he tensed, he relaxed, letting out a quiet hum as your hand started to warm.
You felt so dumb, looking at Fundy like you were a child seeing fireworks for the first time holding the same hesitation, even as if you could burn yourself or worse, you could hurt him. Of course, you knew you wouldnāt hurt him but unfamiliarity and anxiety boiled in your stomach no matter how many times you tried to tell yourself it was okay. Looking up at Fundy you can see his face soften, a smile on his lips as he leaves you to your own devices, not wanting to interrupt whatever process you were creating.
Silently grumbling at the lack of direction and you go to place your other hand on him, only to realize just how weirdly you were positioned. You pulled away from him, earning yourself an eyebrow raise from your boyfriend which you just wave your hand at. Carefully you straddle his hips, earning a soft grunt from him but he doesn't stop you, somehow you manage to just completely blank just how close you are as you continue to run your hands over his chest.
Despite how inherently not innocent the scene looked out of context, in context it was the exact opposite. Your movements were filled with both boundless curiosity as you tried to commit the feeling of his soft, pale skin under your hands and endless hesitation as you tried not to do something wrong. "You know, you are really, really handsome..." you say quietly, it's still hard to believe you're actually able to touch him if you're honest.
Softly you cup his face, leaning down and placing soft kisses all over it, making him quietly giggle. Pecking softly at his lips before you moved on to his jaw, then his neck. It was odd, to get to this point of intimacy without there being some sort of sexual motive threw you off, but it was a much welcomed change of pace. Something about leaving light kisses on the neck and collarbone felt different when it was just reassurances of love.
As you sit up away from him he hums quietly, finally awake enough to really process what's happening. After another minute or so he sat up quickly, knocking you off balance and sending you back towards his legs. Before you hit his legs he grabbed your waist, pulling you close, the situation happened so fast that by the time you realized he was fully awake you were already in his arms, both of you giggling messes. Fundy rested his nose in the crook of your neck, you could feel the smile he wore pressed against your skin.
It was a calm and serene scene, one you hope to have again and again and again when you guys can be together more. While you were lost in thought he smirked as he blew a raspberry on your neck, making you let out a loud laugh, "WH- Wait- Hold on! I! Fu-Fundy, what the f-uck??" you struggled to ask through your laughter as he continued to assault your neck with raspberries, moving in between each one.
You pushed against him, trying and failing to get away from his attack. After multiple failed sentences, giggles, and barks of laughter he finally let you go, his face plastered in a smug but still genuinely happy grin. You wanted to ask him what that was all about but air was not being your friend so you just rested your head in his shoulder, struggling to catch your breath.
"I'm sorry, but after I let you pamper me while I was half asleep I thought I'd just keep the train rolling." he said as if he read your mind, his hands resting comfortably on your hips as he placed a kiss on your cheek. "I couldn't resist your laughter, I love it too much!" he said happily.
You let out a quiet defeated sigh, moving so now your cheek rested on his shoulder, your nose nestled in the crook of his neck. "Did Wilbur have plans for us today?" you ask quietly, part of you wished he did but another part of you is completely okay with laying in bed with Fundy till you needed to go to the airport.
Fundy thought for a moment, fingers tapping lightly on your hips, "No idea, honestly." he finally said, shrugging ever so slightly. "I should probably text him." he pulled one of his hands off of you and leaned to grab his phone off the bedside table. He moved his hand to your lower back and he leaned over you to see his phone. Melting into his touch you let out a quiet hum as you placed a hand over his heart, feeling his heartbeat through your fingertips as he typed away on his phone. You two sat like that for a few minutes before he spoke up, āWilbur said he was gonna go get drinks with Niki, Phil, and Tristin later today, around four pm. Weāre free to join but he also understands if you donāt wanna drink before your flight.ā
Silently you thought, tapping your fingers lightly on his chest. On one hand it would be nice to chill out with Phil, especially since neither you or Fundy had met with him in person yet. On the other you know you, and if you were hanging around a bunch of people who were drinking youāre going to end up drinking as well. āAs much as I hate to say it, I really donāt wanna drink before my flight.ā You say sighing, Fundy just nods as he shoots a message back to Wilbur.
āWell since weāre gonna lay in bed all dayā¦ā Fundy started as he turned his body and flopped you both down onto your sides, both of you giggling messes. Carefully you moved your hands from his chest to his face, cupping his cheeks softly. ā... You know youāre really, really pretty?ā he whispered, grabbing one of your hands and placing a soft kiss on your palm.
You sputter and duck your head, trying to hide the blush on your face. āYou may have told me one or two timesā¦ā You say quietly, mostly as a joke.
His head perks up, āOnly once or twice?ā He asked, you chuckle and continue the bit nodding. He gasped as he softly makes you look at him, he holds your face as he gives you a serious look, āYouāre pretty, you are so goddamn pretty, y/n. I every fucking day think about how you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Any time my mind wonders it finds its way to you because- because, you just- y/n you feel like home. Whenever Iām with you, whether thatās in person or in some form of call, I feel like I should pinch myself and remind myself that Iām actually awake.ā He stops for a second, taking a few breaths as your face gets redder making him chuckle slightly. āGod- I am so in love with you. I- To quote you from last night: Youāre going to be the end of me, you know that right?ā he finishes his spiel.
Youāre on cloud nine. Point blank. āDamn it, how the hell do you always know what to say?ā you mumble before you snaked your arms around his neck and connect your lips. It wasnāt heated but it was passionate, full of emotions that didnāt have proper words but still needed to be communicated. Pulling apart you both were panting, only a few microseconds before you started laughing, āWe are so cheesy, oh my god.ā you say quietly through laughter, he joined you with a large smile on his face.
āMaybe we are cheesy, but weāre cheesy together so who cares.ā he replied, placing a soft kiss on your nose.
You laughed harder, fingers messing with his hair by the nape of his neck, āYouāre proving my point you fuckinā nerd!ā You basically cackled out, when you looked up the in love look in his eyes almost knocked the breath out of you. You tucked yourself under his chin, hiding your face as a hand still carded through his hair.
You two sat in bed for a few hours, scrolling through different platforms and showing each other funny or cute things. It was nice, cozy even as you fell into a simple routine, every once and a while youād switch positions and continue with your scrolling. All too soon five pm rolled around and Fundy reluctantly brought it to your attention, āHey love, your flightās at eight right?ā he asked quietly, you two were spooning, you as the little spoon as his chin was tucked over your shoulder.
Groaning, you nodded, āYeah it is.ā you say quietly, sinking into his touch more.
It was quiet for a few seconds before he continued, āWe need to get up..ā he slowly pulled away from you, making you whine but inevitably listen. Groggily, you make your way to your bag, pulling out a simple t-shirt and jeans. You stripped and Fundy did the same thing as last night, making you chuckle but you donāt say anything this time.
Once changed you walk over to him and lean up to give him a kiss on the cheek, āHow mad do you think Wilbur would be if I made us some breakfast? Well, ābreakfastā.ā You asked, making air quotes around the second breakfast.
He hummed, thinking for a second before shrugging, āProbably not at all, but if he does it was my idea.ā he said as he turned around and placed a kiss on your forehead, āIām gonna shower real fast so just come knock on the door when itās done.ā
You nodded and peeled yourself off of him, making your way to the kitchen. You make some simple eggs and toast, not wanting to use too much food from your friends kitchen and when you finished fifteen minutes later Fundy was walking into the kitchen, āAw man, you put a shirt on.ā you say in faux disappointment.
He sputtered for a second before shaking his head, āWe are literally about to leave and go out in public.ā he said, grabbing one of the plates from the counter as he looked through the drawers for a fork.
Rolling your eyes, you lightly bump his hip with yours when he finally finds the forks, dropping the subject in favor of some comfortable silence while you both ate. Or at least partially comfortable, the fact of the plane ride still hung in the air, uncommented on but there. Fundy finished before you, placing his plate in the sink and giving you a kiss on the top of your head before heading into the guest bedroom. A few minutes later you finished your own food and you washed the dishes that you guys used, eyes falling to the stove clock: 6:30 pm. Sighing, you placed the dishes into the strainer and made your way to the guest room, āFuuuns,ā you whine more than really say, āwe probably should go soon, since I wanna still say bye to Wilbur.ā
He jumps at the sound of your voice, zipping up the bag in his hands on instinct, āOh- Hey y/n!ā he said quickly.
You walk over and lean on him as you look at your bag in his hands, āWhatcha up to, big man?ā you asked, grabbing the bag from him.
āOh I just, I wanted to give you something but I thought itād be better for you to find it when you got homeā¦ā he said as you opened your bag up, smiling as you see one of his hoodies folded on the top, āI was just gonna give you one of my hoodies but it didnāt feel special enough, soooā¦ā he dragged out his words as you pulled out his iconic hoodie, āI gave you the hoodie.ā he finished with a large smile.
Your face goes bright red as you pull it on, it smelled like him, like home, youāre too lost in the gesture to notice when Fundy pulled you close and kissed the top of your head. āYouāreā¦ Youāre.ā You didnāt know what words you were trying to find, you knew he loved this hoodie, he wore it all the time even, it felt weird, both very wrong and very right for you to take it, āAre you sure?ā you asked quietly.
āOf course,ā He hummed, āwhat better thing to remind you that I love you and that Iām here for you than my favorite hoodie?ā you just stuttered in response and nodded, āPlus you look very cute in my clothes.ā he said as he leaned away from you before he pulled you into a kiss, it took you a few seconds to kiss him back, the cogs in your brain fighting between stopping entirely and going twice the speed.
When he pulled away from you, you were breathless, āMan. Iām going to die without your kisses, what the hellā¦ā You mumbled as you buried your face into his chest.
āNooo, donāt die,ā he replied dramatically, āif you die then how am I gonna kiss you when you come back?ā he jokingly held you tightly, but a small part of you knew it wasnāt a joke, that he fully processed just how much heās going to miss holding you.
You let out a sigh muffled by his chest, āWell, guess Iāll just live forever.ā you said quietly, which made him chuckle slightly. You know itās a joke but if you could find a way, you would. Just for Fundy. After a few seconds you reluctantly pulled yourself out of his grasp, zipping up the large hoodie before putting the backpack on.
Fundy let out a sigh as he patted his pockets, āWilburās letting me drive you to the airport using his car.ā He said as he pulled out Wilburās keys, showing them to you.
You nodded before you cupped his face and placed a soft kiss on his lips, āI love you so, so, so goddamn much, Fundy.ā you whispered, placing your forehead on his.
āI love you too, y/n. And the distance between us doesnāt change that in the slightest.ā he whispered back, his voice slightly shook as he spoke which made your heart hurt. Slowly he pulled away from you, grabbing your hand with his as he dragged you to the door, you both slipped on your shoes and masks before heading out to the car.
The car ride to the pub Wilbur was at with Phil and Kristin was quiet, not a bad quiet but quiet nonetheless. The radio played soft classical music as Fundy carefully drove the car through the town, you canāt tell if youāre surprised by that being Wilburās default station or not. Once you guys got there you quickly got out of the car, telling Fundy youāll be back soon as you ran in and told Wilbur goodbye. It wasnāt all that much, you gave him a hug and promised to text him once your plane landed to let him know you were safe. You quickly said hi to Phil and Kristin, apologizing that you couldnāt stay longer, which they brushed off, saying that thereāll always be another time.
By the time you and Fundy were finally on your way to the airport it was a quarter past seven, the drive there was viscerally different than the drive to say bye to Wilbur. He drove with one hand, his free one resting carefully in yourās as he rubbed the back of it with his thumb. The silence was almost oppressive as you sat there but neither of you knew what to say, so you both stayed quiet. The silence stretched on into the airport, it was odd but somehow fitting. It was the first time neither of you could really bring yourself to break the silence.
Fundy eventually did, though. After you had made it through security, you two sat down on the benches waiting for them to call your flight number. It started with a laugh, a sad one, followed by a quiet apology, āIām sorry I havenāt said anything y/nā¦ā He basically said to himself, youāre pretty sure if you had even an ounce less of self control youād start crying right then.
Carefully, you cupped his face, a sad smile in your eyes, āDonāt worry love. Trust me, I understand.ā you replied as you rubbed your thumbs over his cheek bones. He silently nodded, wrapping his arms around your torso as he pulled you close. You moved your hands from his face and wrapped your arms around his neck, āItāll be fine, just like Phil said to me in the pub today, āthereāll always be another time.ā Iāll visit again when this is all over, next time for longer.ā You promise him, voice hushed so that only you two can hear it.
āYeah, yeah. Of course, next time.ā he said, it was so soft, as if he said it too loud something would curse against it. The two of you sat like that for a few minutes, enjoying the last time youād hold each other for at least a long while. All too soon they called for your plane and reluctantly you pulled away from him. Quickly he pulled down his mask, looking at you for a long second before you do the same, softly he connected your lips, it was a slow and desperate kiss. One that knew you had to leave but so strongly wish you didnāt that you could have mistaken it for tangible.
When you pull apart, you smile at him, pressing a light kiss on his cheek before standing up, āIāll see you soon, yeah?ā you ask, fixing your mask.
He nodded, probably much more aggressively than he meant to, āYeah, definitely.ā

The Adventure - TMNT Bitches:Ā chapter 10
CHAPTER 10: Ā Through the Looking Glass Ā
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The four brothers exit the parking deck and are immediately overwhelmed by the steady stream of people walking to and fro. Ā Donnie has his eyes glued to his virtual display while Leo and Mikey each take up flanking positions on either side of him to guard his shoulders so he doesnāt trip over the crowds walking past.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āOh no-no-no, this is not good!ā, Donnie exclaims while panning left and right with his display, trying to find the trail that is quickly disappearing right before his eyes.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āWhat is it, Donnie?ā, Leo asks, the concern thick in his voice.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Donnie frantically pans in a wider arch, but the trail is fading too quickly. Ā The flow of the foot traffic is causing too much interference and the particle stream is all but faded away, āLeo, I think we have a problem here. Ā The portal residue isnāt as clear down here on the street as I had hoped. Ā Iāve lost the trailā.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āGreat! Now what?ā, Raphās towering figure grumbles from behind them all, where he has taken of the posterior position to keep people from walking dead-straight into Donnie as he stands stationary in the middle of a river of people.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āGive me a minute to think, Raphā, Leo chides but heās feeling his own sense of panic rising. Heās never been claustrophobic, after all he lives under ground, but here with all these bodies pressing in around them, jostling past them, the serum keeping them in human form already on its count-down clock, and their one clue to follow Shredder is literally disappearing before their eyes, heās never felt so out of his elementā¦so not ready to lead. Ā However, he doesnāt have the option to quit, to flake out, his brothers are looking to him for guidance.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Leo studies their surroundings, the people, the activityā¦.and then he sees it, the thing that gives him a new idea, a new possible solution to their dilemma. Ā Heās watching people all over pulling out their cell phones to take pictures of each otherās costumes, to stream and vlog about their adventures as they walk down the street, āDonnie, can you search through the media flowing around this event? Ā Maybe weāll get lucky can catch a glimpse of Shredder in the background of someoneās post.ā.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āCan I? Psssshhh. Ā Does Mikey like pizza?ā, Donnie throws Leo a sassy glance before flipping through his virtual screens again. Ā Almost as soon as he starts flipping and searching the data streams, a ping comes from his computer, then another, and another, āOh boy, BINGO!ā, Donnie exclaims.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Mikey leans in close from Donnieās right shoulder, omitting the concept of personal space, and nearly blocking Donnieās field of vision of the display, āDudeā¦thatās Shredder!ā.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āI KNOW, Mikeyā, Donnie says and grabs Mikeyās cute little human face with his large left hand and pushes him back a few inches in order to have some breathing room, āitās a video thatās quickly going viral of an altercation between Shedder some human kidā.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āWhatās he saying?ā, Leo asks, leaning in from the left.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āHmā¦not goodā¦heās looking for fighters but at least we know where heās going, according to my search this āMarriottā that the guy mentions is a hotel just down the streetā¦the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.ā
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āThen letās get movinā, Don, lead da way.ā, Raph shoves Donnie from behind, where heās still acting as a barricade between his lithe brother and the crushing public. Heās eager to get moving, standing still when Shredder is out there hunting for a new army is grating on his nerves.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The quartet of disguised mutants walk along in the crowd, still in more shock and awe of being able to walk so freely among the general masses. Ā The laughter, the smiles, the excitement, and comradery are palpable in the air. Ā Everyone is high spirts and the four brothers are right in the middle of it. Ā This is truly a new and welcomed experience for them.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā For too long they have watched from the shadows as people had fun. Ā They would watch club goers and weekend warriors living it up on Friday and Saturday nights in New York while they stood on roof tops patrolling and keeping watchā¦from a distance. Ā They often wondered, and in some of their cases daydreamed, about being part of the crowd below. Ā And, now, here they were, walking in soft human skins with the rest of the world. Ā Would they ever be able to go back to the shadows and not feel empty inside?
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā As they each ponder the experience quietly and the implications of these experiences on their future selves, they follow the flow of the crowd as it passes under the carport awning of the Marriott Marquis. Ā The voices and sounds of laughter echoing and bouncing back under the marquee, adding to the energy of the atmosphere.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā They enter the establishment through the double sliding doors and are immediately stuck speechless by the activity and the setting. Ā The hotel was architecturally beautiful, itās 47 stories visible in the main atrium with a cluster of stylish elevators quickly running crowds of people up and down the inside column of the atrium. Ā Hundreds, no, thousands of people, most of which that were in some form of costume milled about talking, taking pictures, and celebrating as one.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Donnie was sure that he had died and gone to nerd heavenā¦nerd nirvanaā¦nerd-vana. Ā A small tear rests at the edge of one of his eyes. Ā Mikeyās hyperactive mind starts to short circuit as his eyes jump around the celebratory scene in front of himā¦ānow THIS is a PARTYā, he thinks to himself. Ā Raph bringing up the rear, is stunned into silence himself. There are womenā¦EVERYWHEREā¦WITH VERY LITTLE ONā¦AND WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE! Ā
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Leo quickly assesses the scene and the effect that it is having on his brothersā attention span, heās got to set down the rules quickly and keep them focused on the task of finding Shredder. Ā āOk, guys, letās split up and find Shredder quickly as possible. Ā There are a lot of people here, so heāll have plenty to blend in with, or use as victims against us, we NEED to find him quickly. Ā Raph, youāre with me, weāll down those escalators and search there. Don you and Mike take that upper level. Ā If you see Shredder call for backup, donāt engage until we can be sure that we can keep the area clear and ensure that people wonāt get hurt.ā.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Leo and Raph descend to the lower level via the escalator. Ā The level is one large arching circle with various wings and ballrooms off its center. Ā There is a back entrance where other vehicles are making pit stops, picking up and dropping off of party-goers. Ā Leo doesnāt like this scenario, itās going to be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. āWe need to move through these wings to make sure he hasnāt made it to some of the maintenance areas.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Raph doesnāt hear Leoās directions as he is fully distracted by a group of women cosplaying as a Sailor Moon group standing around the lower level posing for pictures. He grins devilishly at them as they wave teasingly at him. Ā Leo lets out an alpha snort, which doesnāt have much impact coming from his smaller human lungs, and he punches the oversexed behemoth in the arm, āRaph, focus!ā. Ā
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āI am focusing, Fearless, Iām focusing on dat real hardā, he replies slyly while his eyes havenāt left the group of short-skirted women.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Leo shakes his head, āI knew I should have brought Donnie with me, but I couldnāt trust you and Mikey together.ā.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Raphās eyes finally leave the group of cosplayers to stare pointedly at Leo, āI donāt need ya ta babysit me, LEO. Ā Iāll find Shredda and kick his ass all da way back ta New Yorkā, he snarls aggressively.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āFine, prove it, letās moveā, Leo challenges and starts leading the way down through the bowels of the hotel.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā As Donnie and Mikey crested the escalator, their eyes saw even more of the festivities taking place on the main level. Ā People crowded around the bar and the dance platform, one story up overlooking the main level lobby, was packed to the brim with people grinding and gyrating to the beats from the house DJ.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āDon, I think Iāve died and gone to heavenā, Mikey whispers out reverently.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āWe need to find Shredder, Mikey, we donāt have time to play aroundā, Donnie says, even though his own eyes are wandering the crowds appreciating the costume designs, period replicas people are carrying, and theā¦.uhmā¦.nice outfits of the ladies. Donnie subtly adjusts the crotch of his cargo pants. Ā He may be slightly smaller in human form, but proportionally still quite sizable and too many āhappy thoughtsā still cause an uncomfortable tightness down below.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āOk, I canāt believe Iām saying this, but I think we need to split up to cover more ground. There is just too many going on and Shredder will be able to hide among it. Ā Mikey, PLEASE, donāt get lost and stay focused.ā, Donnie negotiates with his younger brother.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āDon, you can count on me, bro! Ā Detective Mikey is on the case!ā, he clasps Donnie on the shoulder before starting to walk off to circle the atrium from the left.
Ā·Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āWeāll meet back up by the barā, Donnie yells at him over the crowd before he moves off to the right, searching the crowds for a villain but appreciating the other visual interests as well.

sapnap ā fair date.
PAIRING: sapnap x reader
PRONOUNS: any !
SCENARIO: sappynappy invites you to a new fair with dream and george just to spend more time with you :]
WARNINGS: none at all!
ā ššš£š... š¢š® š„šš¤š£š rang from beside me on my bedside table. I groaned and rubbed my eyes before pressing the green button, instantly wincing from the loud mouth on the other line of the call.
"Y/NNNNNN!!" Shouted Sapnap.
I raised a brow, "What is it? You woke me up for what?"
"Well, theres a new fair an hour away from where we live and i'm wondering if you would wanna go together with Me, Dream and George while he's here with you?" I thought about it for a little while before agreeing to his offer.
I mean, it saves me sitting in the apartment with hardly anything to do for the day and i could spend some more time with him so i'm happy.
I got up after ending the phone call, a smile growing on my face as i saw a text pop up, 'See you in half an hour<3'.
I quickly threw on some on some of my favourite comfy clothes before sorting out my hair and as soon as i was done, i heard a knock on my door, cliche right?
I open the door and smile when i see the three males stood outside, "Hey! You ready to go?" Dream asks as I nod in response, making sure i have everything before walking out to his car, getting in the back seat with Sapnap, a soft blush creeping up on my cheeks.
"How have you all been?" I ask them, making some small talk before i noticed in the front that George had fell asleep, his head on the window beside him as Dream just shook his head, āHe never learns that heāll get a bad neck.ā He mumbled.
Sapnap laughed it off, āJust leave him be Dream, let him learn his lesson this time before he gets on all of those rides youāre probably going to drag him on.ā
Before long, we all reached the fair and it was pretty nice for a new upcoming one if i was honest. It had loads of rides, more than the one thats at the usual fair i used to go to when i was a kid but i wasn't complaining, it looked super cool but one thing that caught my eye was the mini arcade room.
George raised a brow at me, "Are you going over there? We could split up, i go with Dream and you go with Sap," He said to me as i nodded, smiling and intertwining me and Sapnapās arms together, "Lets go here if you want to.. uh, if you don't then theres the ghost train over there if you like that sort of thing?"
"You're so glad Karl isn't here because he would be taking us on that ghost train and other horror rides every single minute straight after it is finished.." The taller latter groaned, shaking his head at the thought but he smiled down at you, "Lets go to the arcades but one condition, i pay okay? It's my treat for waking you up out of your beauty sleep as they say."
"Well, i'm not going to say anything to that so thank you SappyNappy, that means a lot!" You smile and head over to the arcade, sitting on one of the stools and watching as he wanted to play a shooting game which wasn't that unusual for him.
You two played those sort of games all the time after he finished playing minecraft with the boys.
You felt your heart race as Sapnap side glanced at you, giving you a smirk as he moved his head down a little, motioning to all the tickets that was currently come out of the machine.
"Do you think we will get enough to get the same vlog gun as TommyInnit? Is that really possible?" You bite your lip jokingly, Sap raising his brows and chuckling, "Maybe it is, we can just flex on him with it so he can stop sending me so many pictures and titling them 'Can't wait to fight you with this'."
The day continued until it started getting darker and finally, you, george, dream and sapnap gathered back together and huddled into the car.
You were sitting in the front this time with Dream, just having a small conversation with him about youtube and what he would be doing for the smp, future streams, etc.
You smiled softly, listening in and agreeing with the amazing ideas he had came up with for any challenges and manhunts people had yet to see and it amazed you how his brain could work like this.
It felt like forever the two of you were talking but you were finally home and you felt sad that you had to leave everyone until god knows when.
"I'll walk you to your room, dont want anything happening to you," Sap mumbles to you, you nod and thank him for the kind gesture, walking to your apartment door.
You got your keys out and unlocked the door, turning around and looking at the taller male stood in front of you.
"Thank you so much for today, it was absolutely amazing, i enjoyed myself but i don't know when we will even be able to do this again." You smile sadly, running a hand through your hair as Sapnap nodded, "Agreed, if you're free tomorrow we could do this again.. just you and me?"
You nodded at that, "I would love that!" You smile and stand on your toes, leaning to the males cheek and giving him a soft kiss there which made him blush a very dark red, "See you tomorrow!"
"You too y/n, stay safe!"

FUCK IT, DREAM SMP HOMESTUCK AU
but it's only half shitposts and there are actual Thoughts in there.
You don't need to have read the comic to understand because I tried not to spoil anything major, but it'd help if you knew basic stuff about classpects, SBURB and the hemospectrum.
disclaimer: i'm not a good pixel artist and this is my first actual sprites ever so please be kind to my weird pixels
The Kids:
Tommy
Fundy
Techno
Tubbo
tommy, tubbo and fundy one of the kids because they're the kids in dream smp canon (with fundy being son of wilbur)
techno's there because i want to make a dave strider reference (haha get it because techno's name is also da-- *gets shot) and also because they are both coolguys except instead of using irony, techno has adhd
The Trolls:
Wilbur Soohte (fuschia)
?????? Ehrret (violet)
J????? Shlatt (purple)
Nihacu Niikki (indigo)
Skeppy Diamon (cerulean)
Quacki Tthiey (teal)
Philza Myncra (jade)
Dreame Wastkn (lime disguising as olive)
George Notfou (gold)
Sapphe Nahfpe (bronze)
Badboy Haelow (burgundy)
don't come at me saying only females are allowed to be jades and fuschias; gender is fake and this is an au
more of the AU and the talksprites are under the cut:
Tommy
Lunar sway: Derse. Types in: Red
chaotic. the first person to be introduced.
when he gets introduced instead of the āZoosmell Pooplordā bit, Tommy is initially going to be the name inputted but then backspaced it and decided that Tommyinnit was better and he was fuming until heās named Tommy.
Gives me big Blood/Hope vibes. Blood because a lot of the conflict of the dream smp connected to someone breaking his trust or harming the things he cares about, Hope because a lot of the plot of the dream smp stems from Tommy starting shit based on his ideals and what he thinks is right.
the first to instigate fighting against the trolls
bbh contacts him once and tommy keeps cursing until he disconnects from frustration rip
wields Gunkind and his only strife weapon at the beginning is the Vlog gun. He has Gunkind as his strife specibus mainly because he looked up at schlatt and he imitates him.
Fundy
Lunar sway: Prospit. Types in: Orange
it was his idea to play SBURB but only through Dream.
he talks to dream the most among the other trolls fwt stans getcha juice this is the rosemary of the session
dreamās the one giving him exposition about the game so thatās how he knows how to play SBURB.
wilbur trolls fundy once and instantly adopts him.
āYouāre my son.āĀ āHow does that even work??āĀ āI was one of the people whoĀ created your universe. Itās basically the same thing.ā
Fundy relents anyway.
Techno
Lunar sway: Derse. Types in: Pink
dave strider but dead-inside voice + rose lalonde english major vibes
he slices the text box when you try to name him "Dave " like in
techno gives me time player vibes (contantly on the move. his skyblock series, his āstays in the pitā monologue,) but also rage vibes (anarchy,Ā theĀ ātheseusā monologue, political alignment is Chaos) alas i am not sure what class
uses Tridentkind and claims "it came from god"
Ā it was dream, he accidentally transportalized one of wilburās weapon while he testing the transportalizer.
Tubbo
Lunar sway: Prospit. Types in: Green
the jade harley of this session. the only thing keeping them from going apeshit. where would they be without him.
but also jade harley in a sense that he seems nice and wholesome but also donāt fuck with them they can mess you up
Heart/Life vibes??? someone good at classpecting help
i put them in prospit bc of the "tubbo third eye" instead of tubbo having a sixth sense or smth, they see the future from the clouds of skaia when they sleep
wields Stress-relieverKind at some point
bonus: everyoneās actual hair colors
Ideas about the Trolls
no i havenāt done their sprites yet bc it would take so much time and iām not even sure if people wanna see more of this au skjdkdsakdfkl,, but i have Design Ideas.
events of the dsmp revolution are just a FLARP session drawing parallels to how the homestuck trolls had a FLARP session that spoiler alert: destroyed friendships. dtrio, eret, will are involved. eret betrays will's faction and wilbur's still Bitter over that.
on the context of alternia (highbloods and lowbloods) lmanburg and dreamsmp have their roles SWAPPED.Ā the emancipation theme thing is completely gone since highbloods are in more power than the lowbloods (the dream team) .Ā
wilbur made a faction called lāmanburg because he wants a place where he and his fellow highbloods could make drugs vibe.they take a piece of land that was owned by the dream team. in normal circumstances, they shouldve stood down because lowbloods aren't supposed to start shit with highbloods (especially a group of highbloods that has the alternian heir among them)Ā but dream turned it into an activism thing about lowblood rights. the story plays as close as possible without tommy or tubbo in it (which is pretty hard ik but this is the best can do).
like in the dreamsmp revolution, dream kinda let wilbur do what he wants but this time he has more reason to because heās in a lower caste. dream really only fought back when wilbur announced that heād be building lmanburg on their land and calling it theirs.
eret betrays wilbur by supporting the lowbloods and wilbur and co. technically won but only because he finally called the drones in, as a reference to how lmanburg absolutely got crushed by the dream team in the smp but technically won. lāmanburg keeps the piece of land and the dream team scatter away to find a new home.
wilbur soot's a fuschia because a) he's in a position that has a lot of power, b) yknow how he wrote a song about squids and his thing with sallyā¦ yeah.
eret's a violet because nobility!! dream looks down on him because he's ambivalent on fighting for lowblood rights when he's in a power to do so "you just sit there, and you look pretty that's it"
also like eridan he has a minor aesthetic mutation (herobrine eyes) that won't classify him as a mutant.
jschlatt is purple because it makes sense thematically because of the gamzee parallels (a. substance abuse b. if you know what happens in act 6, you know this already but spoiler alert, he ruins the main protagonists' lives) also he's a funnyman he deserves the clown caste
Ā quackity's a teal because heās a law student. moving on--
Ā ok but for real it also makes sense thematically because he's the one who wrote the thing that tricked schlatt into agreeing also he gets manipulated by schlatt which also draws parallels to certain events in the comic
skeppy and bbh are BEST FRIENDS despite being highblood and lowblood respectively. initially, skeppy just wanted to bother bbh but they grew to be good friends in time. yāknow like how they actually becane friends :D
philza minecraft is a jade because dad friend. also works thematically, because spoiler alert he gets to murder a seadweller for going batshit crazy.Ā
he also god tiers early. he dies fighting his quick undead denizen (haha baby zombie) but the consorts of his land carry him to his quest bed because heās treated them all so well.
dream was initially going to be another caste but then i realized that means i have to make his hoodie something other than green which is unacceptable so its a good thing the fact that he's a lime works out
dream was the one who thought of playing sgrub in the first place- initially only planned to have gogy, sap, and bbh in the session but then realized that they four won't be enough so he invited more into his session
heās also the first to go godtier ez clap blind speedrun not sure what classpect tho
the only reason why dream avoided being culled at birth for being a limeblood is because his rng is That Good. he quickly picked up the fact that heās not supposed to exist and masqueraded as an oliveblood and kept mostly to himself to avoid suspicion.
george is still colorblind but he has lazer eyes along with it instead. dream lives with him in the same hive since being a mutant means dream doesnāt get a lusus of his ownĀ (dnf fans getcha juiceĀ āand they were roommatesā)Ā
despite living in the same hive, he never really figures out that dream is a limeblood. possibly because a) heās colorblind and when he sees dream bleeding he just sees yellow b) heās just that fucking oblivious and itās so valid of him.
sapnapās a bronzeblood mainly because i know heās the instigator of the pet war with tommy also because i associate him with the color orang in my mind so bronze it is
thatās the end of this long-ass post!! if you have other ideas PLEASE i want to hear them. i donāt know the other streamers i mentioned in here very well so if you have ideas that would be fitting to them like with classpect or lunar sway that would be GREAT.Ā
the only thing iām confident about in here are the kidsā lunar sways. iām not an expert in classpects and homestuck lore so thereās that too!! i just wanted to make this post because adhd means that the idea wouldnāt shut up until i finished it. This initially started as a single shitpost edit of tommyinnit talksprite but then the hiveswap 2 trailer came out and that means i have to combine my two hyperfixations.
also i have ideas about potential quadrants but idk how much of that is breaking some streamersā boundaries about shipping (even the non romantic quads such as kismesistude, morallegiance and auspisticism) so i decided not to include it.
edit: apparently people want more so i made a discord server as a place to brainstorm!! please pm me to join!

My True Identity: foreshadowing and cruel irony
I promised this analysis long ago. I promised I would have finally started the rewatch.
And here I am. After all this time, it's finallyĀ rewatch time.
Before proceeding with this, let me clarify a couple points:
These analyses won't have a clear schedule. As you know, some episodes take a lot of time, while others are much simpler and/or shorter. I will just post every time I finish an analysis.
Not all episodes might be worth an analysis. Some might be fused into one post, others might be completely ignored. That doesnāt mean theyāre useless, but only that I personally have nothing to say about them.
For now, I don't plan to talk about episodes I talked about, like DWIT and POF. But who knows, maybe there will be something else to add, when I'll come back to them? Still, for now don't expect anything new for these two episodes.
These are all my personal thoughts, so I could be completely wrong about everything. If you disagree/agree/want to add something, please feel free to do it.
As always, I might talk about all sorts of themes, so read at your own risk.
And now, let's begin.
_______________________________
An unclear plan
When he looked back at the first episode of what would've becomeĀ Sanders Sides, Thomas himself admitted he had no clear plan about what he wanted to do. Would he film just a bunch of vlogs with these characters taken from his Vines? Would he do silly, funny sketches and talk about some random theme every time? He had no idea.
And this episode shows it: it really looks more like a simple, light-hearted vlog with funny characters, rather than what it would've become.
And this is probably what makes it a very intriguing start. Looking at it in retrospect, you can find a lot of stuff. You can see a lot of cruel irony, considering what these characters are saying andĀ whoĀ is saying what. You can see a lot of points that will actually be discussed throughout the series. And you can even notice a lot of foreshadowing.
_______________________________
The main point of Sanders Sides
[Thomas]: Do I really know myself as well as I should? (...)Ā I need to have a sit-down with myself, figure myself out, and maybe come to a better understanding that we all could learn from! Letās do this!
This first episode might not take the future developments of the series into consideration, but the main point was still here.
Thomas doesn't know himself well enough. There's a lot he has to figure out. He needs to talk with himself and learn more.
Considering who are the last two sides Thomas learned about, this is just adorable. Look at this young Thomas, so cute and naive, thinking: "Oh yes, I will learn more about myself and it will all be fun and games! :DDD". So adorable, he has no idea what the future has in store for him.
This also connects to another point I mentioned in myĀ analysis about the Dark Sides: before starting the series, Thomas didn't know his sides well enough. And we can see it in the way they interact between them and with Thomas.
For example, this part:
[Morality]: And no matter what, no one knows you better than yourself. Am I right, Tony?
[Thomas]: Not my name.
[Morality]: Then what is it?
I know it was a joke, but it was also a confirmation. Not even his ownĀ heartĀ knows him well. Thomas never truly spoke with his sides - and they never truly spoke between them. They've always played a role - the teacher, the prince, the dad. Now they can start knowing each other.
_______________________________
Possible foreshadowing about Roman's arc
[Thomas]: Like, okay, relationships (...) where do I stand in those regards?
[Princey]: I have a pretty ideal vision of love... There's someone out there for me... One true love...
[Logic]: But you tend to overthink things, rule out possibilities with logic, dream up obstacles with each new connection you make...
[Thomas]: And that when the anxiety kicks in. Maybe thatās why I havenāt found a person for me yet.
Oh boy, I can feel the last episodes and Asides looming over me.
Let's analyze each part of this conversation:
1) Thomas (and Roman) has a pretty ideal vision of love. One true love waiting for him. And now, guess what? Thomas is in love with Nico. And we all remember how Roman welcomed the idea of this new love in their lives.
[Roman]: I so... SO badly want this. I- I'm desperate for it...
And also how amazed he was, when they came back home:
[Roman]: A POET! To top it all off, he's a poet!
Considering the above premises, would it be so difficult for Roman to start idealizing this relationship with Nico? To consider Nico the āone true loveā he talked about? To put him on a pedestal and, at the same time, search inside him all the characteristics the one true love should have?
This could lead to a very interesting possibility: Thomas putting Nico under the pressure of being his perfect man, to have all those characteristics his dreamy, romantic side wants to see. All while considering him incredibly perfect to the point of becoming inhuman.
All of this could end up only one way: scaring Nico. Maybe to the point of driving him away from Thomas.
2) Thomas overthinks,Ā ārule out possibilities with logicā and dreams up obstacles. Could this also be a possible foreshadowing?
At the end ofĀ FWSA, when Thomas asked if they were ready for this relationship, Virgil stopped smiling, all while the camera slowly zoomed on him. The message was clear: Virgil isnāt ready for a change yet.
So we have Roman, who sees Nico as the perfect, ideal man of his dreams. And we have Virgil, afraid of changes, overthinker by nature and prone to self-deprecation.
The ingredients are all here: it is very possible that Thomas/Roman will put Nico on a pedestal and, the moment Nico is scared by Roman's adoration, Virgil starts to freak out and to talk bad about himself, because why someone so perfect and dreamy like Nico would ever love someone like Thomas?
This could potentially lead to a heated confrontation between Virgil and Roman that could be the metaphorical last nail on the coffin: Roman is already hurt because Patton sided with Janus. Nico drifting away from Thomas and Virgil's self-deprecation might convince him that yes, Thomas is truly bad and unworthy of love like Virgil says. He himself is bad and unworthy because he's not the perfectĀ Creativity he should be.
And this can be a great starting point for his character arc.
Ā _______________________________
OH THE IRONY part 1: no one learned anything (yet)
[Morality]: But thatās okay. The important thing to keep in mind is nobodyās perfect. Everyone comes with their own flaws.
[Thomas]: Including me.
[Princey]: Yes, someone will accept us, flaws and all. Until that day, I shall learn to love... myself.Ā
Oh hey, look: the end of POF and Roman who still hasn't learnt nothing.
Jokes aside, I love how Patton is the one who says that everybody hasĀ flaws, but he excludes Thomas. It's Thomas himself who says he has flaws as well.
Doesn't that remind you of anything? Like this moment in SvS?
[Patton]: Well... Nobody's perfect... Except for Thomas! He loves his friends!
Patton saw Thomas as perfect and pure from the start. I love this, because it's very subtle and you don't notice it - until the events of SvS and POF.
But while Patton is finally learning (after almost 30 episodes) that Thomas isn't perfect, Roman is still very far from his goal of loving himself.
That's probably why he needs a romance this much: by focusing on someone else, he can easily ignore how much he doesn't like himself and his flaws.
And hey, I can even guess the name of these "flaws" he doesn't like so much.
_______________________________
These words are not foreshadowing at all
[Logic]: Um... Are we bringing up flaws now? Because if so, get ready to take a lot of notes.
[Thomas]: Oh, uh...
[Logic]: -continuing- Okay, you ready? Here we go. You procrastinate A LOT.
[Morality]: You can be a bit selfish with your food and your other belongings...
[Princey]: Youāre definitely not the most adventurous person...
[Thomas]: Okay, maybe this was a bad idea if I'm supposed to be learning to love myself.
[Logic]: Ah, but remember, everyone has flaws.
Let's not forget that Thomas still had no clear plan, while filming this episode. This was supposed to be just a vlog.
But look at how the universe made these characters say these things. Look at dear sweet Patton, bringing up Thomasā selfishness. How cute, he really has no idea what episodes are waiting for him.
And Roman brings up Thomasā fear of changes. Awww, how cute, he has NO IDEA of the guy that will become his worst nightmare and his bestie at the same time <3
_______________________________
OH THE IRONY part 2: just look who's talking
[Morality]: Well, itās important to be nice to ourselves and cut ourselves some slack every once in a while...
[Princey]: Wouldnāt want to be our own villain, would we?
LOOK WHOāS TALKING.
Just look at the absolute irony of Mr. Selflessness talking about the importance of being nice to ourselves. Mr. Thomas-Should-Be-A-Martyr saying that cutting us some slack is good.
All while Mr. I-Thought-I-Was-Your-Hero tells us that we donāt want to be our own villain, right? Right?
_______________________________
Three fundamental questions
[Princey]: Well, what do you wish to look for in a relationship? What are you hoping to gain from having another person in your life?
[Thomas]: Um... I donāt know. Someone whoās a nice compliment to me... someone who wants a long stable relationship... someone who indulges in the same sense of humor, and um... someone who can binge-watch cartoons with me.
This might be considered another foreshadowing of Thomas and Nico's relationship - maybe even the solution of the drama that will take place, after Roman and Virgil's fight we suggested before. The best solution: not putting Nico on a pedestal and seeing him as the perfect man, but appreciating him for who he is, for the normal guy he is - a guy Thomas loves and nothing else.
[Logic]: With everything you've learned, what do you wish to do with your education?
[Thomas]: Ooh... I am not sure... Iād love to figure out ways to help the environment. Science was always my strong point and I love chemistry.
As I said multiple times, I think Thomas' decision to leave chemical engineering and become an actor will play a huge role in Logan's arc. And this question slighty hints at this.
At this point in time, Thomas still wants to use his education in a fruitful way. He still wants to use science, it's still his main goal. Doing silly videos is just an addition. "A good start", as he said:
[Thomas]: I think just being able to put out silly light-hearted content into the world is kind of a good start. It makes me really happy to do that.
[Logic]: Well there you go. A good foundation.
And that's how Logan considers it as well: just a foundation. Not something that will take a huge part of Thomas' life. These videos are just a start.
This explains his reactions in the following episodes, especially how much he insisted on Thomas having a real job: after all, these videos are not something serious. Why focusing so much on them?
This could potentially be the starting point of Logan's increasing frustration and the reason of his final snap in seasonĀ 3, that would also start his character arc.
But Pattonās question is what really surprises me:
[Morality]: What positive impacts do you inevitably hope to bring to this world?
Not only this screams POF, but it shows something for the first time: that Patton is silly, but heās also clever. Heās not a complete idiot. HeĀ likesĀ to be silly, he IS silly, but this question proves he's a lot more mature than he seems.
And if you think this is just a one-time thing, don't worry, we'll see it again in the future.
Is this a foreshadowing of my next analysis? Well, the episode was all foreshadowing, why can't I foreshadowĀ something as well? ;)

Happy New Year (Colby Brock Imagine)
Summary: *REQUEST*Ā Can you do one where they are strangers and meet each other during a new years eve party and then end up kissing each other when the ball drops and make it super romantic (not in covid times) pretty please
Written:Ā 2021
Word Count:Ā 2,040
Warnings:Ā Swearing, mention of being roofied, breakup
Masterlist
I sit in the uber, waiting for everyone to get out. Maybe theyāll be too excited about the party to realize that I went home. Maybe I should escape out the other door and disappear into the night. I didnāt even want to come out tonight in the first place. After the year Iāve had, going to an influencer party is the last place I want to attend. Unluckily for me, my best friends were tired of me staying in my apartment all day, every day, and refused to let me ring in the new year alone. Sadly, this meant that I had to go with them to a party because my apartment gave off ādepression vibesā and that āwasnāt the moveā for 2021. Thatās the only thing that I agreed with them on, the vibe thing, not going to a party.Ā
After nearly a year of quarantine and processing a breakup, my place is a bit of a disaster. If it wasnāt for Janie ambushing me every day last week to help/force me to clean up, my apartment would still look like that cave where the grinch livesā minus Max. There were various alcohol bottles collecting dust on the counter. Not in a āsheās spiraling very rapidlyā sort of way, but in a way that you could tell that I had a rough few weeks and the occasional wine night with the gals. There were boxes, mostly from March and April, that I still had yet to throw out after impose buying a bunch of stuff. My closet had turned into my bed because that was the only safe space that wasnāt cluttered with food packaging or tainted by memories that no longer bring me joy. I hadnāt properly seen my floor in months until we pulled back the layer of filth. I forgot that I had carpet. Still, after all that, I managed to make videos every week without fail.
āY/N, cāmon, youāre not escaping this time. Letās go so you can forget that asshole and that backstabbing bitch.ā Persephone begs as she pulls me out of the car. Once out of the car, she adjusts her long, dark brown curls and smooths out her dress before reconnecting to her boyfriendās hip. They both match with their gold and black outfits. All of my friends and their significant others match. Ophelia and her girlfriend are wearing silver and blue while Janie and her boyfriend are wearing maroon and gold. They all look like gods and goddesses and here I am wearing green and sliver on my own. Could I be anymore single?
āIām not going to do it, I was just thinking about it. Donāt worry. I have to get footage for the vlog anyway. Gotta prove that I did something other than stay home this year. My fans are getting concerned.ā I pull out my camera and get a few clips of everyone.
āMight as well get some pictures then so people will believe you.ā1 Ophelia winks before grabbing me and leading us to what Iām assuming is the designated photo spot. Thereās even a line. This is going to be one of those nights.
****
āAw, fuckā¦ā I mutter to myself as my drink gets knocked out of my hand. This house isnāt big enough for the number of people that were invited.Ā
āI am so sorry! Here, let me help you.ā The guy who bumped into me extends his hand for me to grab. Iām sober enough to know not to take completely random strangers' hands at parties, especially in LA, but Iām also drunk enough to not care. He looks nice enough and I can spot Ophelia and her girlfriend Zoe keeping an eye on me from the corner of the room. I guess everyone is taking turns to make sure I donāt bail.
Against better judgment, I take this beautiful strangerās hand and let him guide me out of the house to the backyard. Itās less crowded out here, maybe because there are more activities to do inside. Out here, I can actually breathe even though people are smoking and vaping out here. The music is quieter. The music is still loud, but like it would burst your eardrum like the music inside. I get a better look at the guy who brought me out here. Heās not bad looking, and I really hope thatās not the alcohol talking. He has the most relaxing blue eyes Iāve ever seen on a guy. His hair is dark brown with a bit of, I think, purple in the front. He looks as threatening as a pug, but looks can be deceiving.
āIām sorry, I didnāt get any on you did I?ā He asks as he scans my body, not in a creepy way. Which is a nice change of pace.
āMy feet but theyāre just shoes so I donāt care. I call these my going out shoes, theyāre made for moments like this so youāre all good. Iām Y/N by the way.ā I stick my hand out for him to shake. He looks at it puzzled for a second before it registers and he grabs my hand and gives it a firm shake.Ā
āRightā I spilled your drink on you and basically kidnapped you from the party and you donāt even know my name. Itās Colby, Colby Brock.ā Colby shakes my hand a little too long before quickly pulling it away.
āIām Y/N, you can get the last name later,ā I bite my bottom lip, close my eyes, and mentally slap my head. āThat was lame, wasnāt it?ā
āItās fine. Itās a thousand times better than anything I would have come up with. Just blame it on the alcohol.ā
We both laugh before Colby singles that heāll be right back. I watch as Colby disappears a small group of people. I take off my shoes and walk to the pool, dipping my feet in as I sit. The cool night air is soothing me. Itās a nice change from the stale scent of my apartment and the sweaty bodies inside the party. I look up to the night sky. The light pollution makes it impossible to see what stars and constellations are above us. Whatever Iām staring at right now feels peaceful, like they are aligned or not in retrograde. I have no idea what any of that means, but I do know that Iāve been around Ophelia too much.
Colby taps my shoulder when he gets back. He kicks off his shoes and socks before joining me in the pool, not even rolling up his pant legs. Heās going to regret that in a few hours. He hands me an unopened can of Truly. I take it from him and open it myself. At least I know heās not a creep. He opens a can of White Claw and sips it before breaking the silence.
āI have to be honest, Y/N.ā Colby looks forward, taking another sip.
āOh no, what is it?ā I ask nervously.
āThe real reason I dropped your drink is because I saw some asshole slip something in your drink.ā Colby finally looks at me and I can tell heās serious.
āWaitā¦what? Someone tried toā¦ Any you thought the best was to inform me was to spill my drink all over me?ā Iām more taken aback by the idea of me almost getting roofied than anything. That would have been the perfect way to end this shit storm of a year.
āIn hindsight, I planned to spill your drink. I didnāt mean to get any on you. Iām not a hundred percent sober right now so that was the downside of my plan. Donāt worry about the guy, my friend Corey went after him.ā
āWowā Uh, thank you. I mean it. I donāt think I could have dealt withā¦ that on top of everything else I had to handle this year.ā I take a sip of my drink and swing my legs in the water.Ā
āDo you want to talk about it? Iām not big on talking about serious stuff with strangers, so Iāll understand if you donāt want to. However, weāre both getting hammered, if we arenāt already, so the likely hood of us even remembering this conversation tomorrow let alone who we are slim. So if you need to vent, vent.ā
I weigh the pros and cons of actually venting everything to this beautiful stranger. Maybe itās the alcohol talking, but I decided to say fuck it. The year is almost over anyway, might as well get rid of this baggage and start the year fresh.
āLong story short: after months of quarantining together Axl, my boyfriend of 10 years, cheated on me. The entire time we were in quarantine. With my younger sister, who I let quarantine with us so she wouldnāt be alone and not have to fly back home to be with our parents. And to top it all off, I found out about it on my birthday when I walked in on them fucking each other on my bed.ā I take a larger sip of my drink before leaning back and staring back at the virtually starless sky.
āHoly fucking shit,ā Colby leans back to join me in looking at the sky.
āYup! We met in preschool and started dating when we were 13. Sheās four years younger than us to thatās annoying.āĀ
āNot to be that guy, but I donāt know what you expected when you started dating a guy named Axl.ā
āā¦ Youāre right, that is a pretty douchey name. I literally ignored the biggest red flag in my entire life.ā
Colby and I laugh again until it fades. I donāt think Iāve laughed this much, like actually laughed, in months. It feels good. Inside the house, the crowd starts counting down from 15. Colby must have heard it too because I watch him turn his head from the corner of my eye. I turn my head to face him. He really does have beautiful eyes. Like the ocean.
āThis may be a dumb idea and I know we donāt know each other, but do you want to be my new years kiss?ā
āI may regret this in the future, but what the hell.ā We both sit up and adjust our clothes.
It might be risky to just kiss a random stranger at midnight, but who cares. Weāre most likely not going to be in each otherās lives after tonight anyway. But by God, I could do much worse than kissing Colby. Unless Iām very drunk and the drunk goggles are seriously fucking with me. Itās not like Iām going home with him, my friends wonāt let that happen. Maybe after this party, weāll go our separate ways and never see each other again. Maybe weāll run into each other in a random store in LA or at some creator convention.
The drunken yells of party-goers inch closer and closer to midnight.
āThree,ā Colby whispers, moving his hair out of his face.
āTwo,ā I take one more small sip before finally setting my drink down. Colby does the same. My heart is beating a loud, steady rhythm in my chest like itās about to burst.
āOne,ā We whisper at the same time before slowly leaning in.
As our lips touch, it felt like time had stopped. The beating intense beating in my heart only intensifies the longer our lips stay pressed together. One of Colbyās hands finds my face why the other reaches for my thigh, but I can only focus on how soft his lips are. My stomach starts forming knots as he tries to deepen the kiss. I donāt know if itās everything I drank tonight coursing through my veins or the fact that I havenāt been kissed in months, but I slightly part my lips. The mixture of Colbyās scent and his body heat wash over me like theyāre intoxicating my senses. The kiss ends just as suddenly as it started. We both pull away and just stare at each other in awe.
āL/N,ā I breathe, fixing my hair.
āWhat?ā Colby takes another sip of his drink.
āMy last name is L/N.ā Ā

ROAD TRIPS WITH S/O [HEADCANONS!]
synopsis: headcanons where you go on aimless road-trips with the boys.
warnings: suggestive themes (in atsumu because heās atsumu), mentions of drinking (in terushima because heās terushima)
pairings: atsumu x gen!reader, yamaguchi x gen!reader, terushima x gen!reader, oikawa x gen!reader (i think, please tell me if i have any implications of fem!reader!)
a/n: i hate how my headcanon style changed dramatically through each of these. also, new banner and layout style! hehe <3
ATSUMU
atsumu was looking stressed so you planned a getaway
he thought it would be some fancy hotel with jacuzzis and like king-sized beds but no
you are in the car. together. driving to nowhere in particular
anyway atsumu is a little grumpy at first but then he warms up to it
if he's driving he has one hand on your thigh and if there is a song playing he taps the beat on it
he has a very interesting music tasteĀ
you guys play games like i spy or twenty questionsĀ
okay but atsumu treats i spy like its a major league sport but he just teases you when it comes to twenty questions
you: is it an event?
atsumu: yep *smirks aggressively*
you: is it an event done commonly?
atsumu: hopefully *more aggressive smirking*
you: is it a fun event?
atsumu: definitely
you: ....
you: shut up you horny pisshead
(if you don't understand that you're too young bye)
you guys argue about the most random thingsĀ
"MILK DOESN'T GO BEFORE CEREAL ARE YOU CRAZY"
"I DONT WANT MY FROSTED FLAKES TO GET SOGGY SHUT UP"
(guess who said what)
you know those annoying songs like "100 bottles of beer on the wall" yeah atsumu is singing that
the entire trip is just him being annoying or being softĀ
he talks to you if you're alseep it's the cutest thing ever
when you drive atsumu just looks at you
he has his head resting on the dashboard and his head is turned towards yours with a small smile on his face
"yer beautiful, y'know. i love ya so much <3" (i can't he makes me so soft)
it catches you off guard so the car swerves a lil and you're just like "'tsumu you're going to kill us keep to compliments to-"
"the bedroom?"
"MIYA ATSUMU-"
YAMAGUCHI
its literally so cute
you and yams are just going nowhere in particular, exploring the back roads and stuff
its for the āØadventureāØĀ
you blast the radio and coax him into singing along with you and its literally so cool because yamaguchi lowkey sounds amazing??
he likes holding your hand as he drives, he traces little patterns into your palm (it calms him down)
he's literally always asking if you're okay because he doesn't want you to be miserable and ruin the whole trip
hes saying stuff like "are you thirsty, baby? should we stop somewhere? do you want to rest your legs?"Ā
you have to reassure him that you're okay, but just because he cares about you š¤§š im so soft
you guys have nice conversations as you drive, sometimes you point out the scenery or just listen to the music
if you fall asleep he'll just look at you, if he can he might just stop the car and admire you because he loves you so much
when you're tired you stop in a relatively safe place and go in the backseat to just cuddle and fall asleep together with a weighted blanket, it's not too comfortable but it's good nevertheless
you guys find this empty field on a really clear night, and you drive out and just sit in the field and look at all the stars
yams tells you he loves you over and over again š„ŗš
TERUSHIMA
the summer coming-of-ageĀ movieĀ vibes y'all give off-
terushima somehow has a jeep, it's one of those convertible ones yknow
the top is always off. no matter how cloudy or sunny or how dark it is the top is always. off.
you guys scream song lyrics at the top of your lungs, even if you're on the highway (terushima listens to five seconds of summer fight me)
you're drinking pop and eating chips and popcorn the entire time
terushima literally has no idea where he's going but he doesn't care
you guys found a cliff š³ you drove up to it and just hung out there for a while (terushima wanted to cliff-dive, but you said no š)
teru is always making jokes and laughing and having the best time of his life
he puts his arm behind the back of your chair but sometimes snakes his hand through the headboard to play with your hair or tickle your neck
he's literally always looking at you, his eyes are NEVER on the road wHO GAVE THIS MAN A DRIVERSĀ LICENCE
you guys play truth or dare š it doesn't go well-
"I DARE YOU TO POKE YOUR ENTIRE BODY THROUGH THE WINDOW"
"BET!"
(you can decide who said what ā¤ļø)
terushima always wants to drive even though every time he's behind the wheel you end up fearing for your life
but the one time you drive is when terushima gets really drunk drowsy and you're driving at night on this really empty road
terushima is looking at you and he's quiet for once, and all of the sudden he's like "babe, i love you so much" and you're just like "i love you too, dork"
but then he's like "no really you're amazing, im so lucky to have you" and you just šš„°šš„ŗšā£ļøā£ļø
and then you start making out
OIKAWA
THE INSTAGRAM PHOTOS
LIKE SERIOUSLY OIKAWA PUT YOUR PHONEĀ DOWN
he'd be driving and then he'd see a place and he'd be like "omg y/n let's stop over there and take a few pictures"
at first it was good, you stopped in a sunflower field and an abandoned road and took some really good photos, but then it just got annoying š
Ā like yams, oikawa holds your hand while he drives. sometimes when he's driving and you're just chilling you'd randomly feel him squeeze your hand
he also does the thing where he kisses the back of your hand as he holds it š³šš
he's always stealing your food ššš¾ like he'd have a full container of fries sitting in his lap and he'd reach over to take yours
and then he'd have the audacity to give you that little wink and tongue thing afterwards
you guys fight over the aux... it gets heated but you guys still love each other <3
he vlogged like the first two days of the trip before it got boring and just took random videos of the two of you instead
basically the whole time you're usually just talking about random things (sometimes you'd have really deep conversations about the future or aliens) or just sitting in a comfortable silence as he holds your hand. it's just really relaxing
if its your turn to drive he's sneaking pictures of you (and himself) or taking naps (he'd complain about neck cramps as soon as he wakes up)
you guys find a really good place to watch the sunrise and you sit on the front of your car and just watch in silence
oikawa rests his head on your shoulder and places a tiny kiss on your cheek. "you know what's beautiful?"
"the sunrise?"
"no :3"
"you?"
"yes, but no :3"
"tooru, if this is a-"
"you are! :3"
he's too cute so you don't say anything else

I already made that point in the ask on a different blog but I dislike how they put Dream on pedestal and relate anything that happens with George to him. Jokes and more serious takes calling him covid warrior get me annoyed because it's the same person that allows his mom do groceries for him and didn't see any issues with Sapnap going to visit Karl, create irl content with him and other ccs and even make video with mr beast despite Sapnap apparently interacting with his mom and sister. It also surprises me how the fans push so much towards meet up when it's clear they are the ones that care the most about it. Don't get me wrong I do believe dream team wants to meet up however question directed at Dream if he would visit George in UK was meet with awkward silence and George had to answer for him that it means no. Clearly it's important but there is no feeling of urgency or even a maybe in there. Same with George, I feel like after experiencing irl content and hanging out more with ccs in UK he isn't in any real rush to get to the US when he knows neither Sapnap or Dream will be down to create that type of content which is fine but George seems to enjoy making it so losing advantage of meeting up with Wilbur, Tommy etc to create content might be something that he started to care more about. Wilbur also planned to move to US from what I remember so it's just a theory, not really serious but maybe George wants to move when Wilbur does so they both have someone to create irl content with? Sorry for rambling but this situation rubs me the wrong way in so many ways, hope you'll have a nice day!
(The following is a depiction of my own personal views containing fandom critical aspects which mostly dissolves into a general discussion. This isn't intended to speak on behalf of any DT members (S+G+D) in any sense or to insinuate how they feel regarding their following.)
In an effort to shorten the length of this, my thoughts on the "covid warrior" situation are in more detail here. In summary, It's not the best idea to hold a cc so high for the expected, eventually something will slip and the fall will be much greater than it deserves to be. As you mentioned, allowing quarantines to occur in his own home where other family members frequent doesn't fit the narrative created by some. No ones going to be perfect in a pandemic, yet we shouldn't act oblivious in favor of holding up this pristine image specifically crafted and implemented by fans.
Regarding the Dream association with George. I'll preface this with acknowledgement that getting the green light from the creators themselves to view their relationship romantically, will create a ripple effect of posts, clips, and overall more attention funneled to the cc's. However, I don't think the aim was to ever be overshadowed by the idea of themselves in a romantic sense. To be truly frank George is the one facing the brunt of this association. People think Dream and they imagine a high tier mc player, people think George and know him from being flirted with in tiktok clips. This link leaks into moments unintended to be related to one another, bringing up his name whenever George even interacts with other ccs? Expecting Dream to give George a slap on the wrist for attending a party? Unwarranted behavior. Dream is not responsible for George (or Sapnap) and vice versa. They are separate people responsible for their own actions.
-
The initial excitement at meeting each other was very clear in December/January due to both Karl+Quackity and Sapnap+Dream meeting up. Understandably over time the thrill at the thought began wearing off due to the shaky future presented by the pandemic (Yet I've no doubt they'll be glad to be together under one roof in the future). I think this was especially obvious during the puffy podcast in particular when Minx directed the question to Dream whether he would visit George now or wait another one and a half years before meeting him. Dream toyed with the question for a bit, confirming the timeframe before being pressured for an answer to which he responded he'd guess he'd go. It didn't exactly sound ecstatic and as you said it's not the first time the question has been dodged or answered with such emotion or lack thereof.
That being said, It's not surprising they don't want to get their hopes up considering the pandemic is too reliant on people to predict. However, I saw a lot of talk at the time concerning how sweet it was Dream said he'd go to London. It's down to personal perception but in all honesty the situation did not read that sweet to me. Although I understand the desire for a heartfelt sentiment declaring "Yes! Of course I'd go across the Atlantic for George!", this was not it. There is a tendency to romanticize and view subjects with a rose tint in this fandom but this instance was one of the more painfully obvious times.
A similar reaction occurred on Georges solo PkMn stream. Dream joined heavily insinuating him to end stream despite George explaining his plans to continue for a further hour. At a weak attempt at pleasing the fans Dream promised a dnf stream and within seconds the chat spammed "take the deal!". It felt very self exposing of chat, these joint streams are not uncommon but it had been five months since the previous solo stream. On top of that, some started claiming how whipped George was to leave steam when in reality there wasn't much of a choice presented. When watching a trailer to a game they might potentially play, commentating it with "what's happening" Dream responded "you're ending stream". Not everything is a "cute" moment (if anything looking back this was comical) and that's expected, but lets not act tone deaf when we bare witness to such.
Returning to your initial point regarding the meetup, Sapnap seems to be the one who carries the brightest torch for it publicly. During a GTA stream he excitably referenced the long awaited time in which he would collect George from the airport. George once expressed offhandedly how he thought S+D might not have room for him to which he joined the call expressing how they could do bunk beds together and reassured him they'd have space (although surely that was obvious from the beginning). Sapnap once posed the question to George where he'd take him if he showed up in London, asking if they'd go to Tesco. Even during the PkMn card unboxing stream (Karls), he told the camera George could have any of the cards he pulls and they'll be waiting for him in Florida. These were all such genuinely kind sentiments where you could tell he's been anticipating the meeting for a while yet, they've been talked about to a much lesser degree.
-
Regarding the content situation, there hasn't been a stream which consciously consisted of Sapnap and Dream together since the move in. Baring in mind Sapnap often disregards face-cam streams the odd joint stream could've occurred if they so wished. It's not apparent to a random viewer they live together, not to say that's a bad thing or that they needed to in any sense, but I feel like it's a good teller of how content will be once George moves in. Obviously Georgenap could do face cam streams together and I have no doubt that's what we'll get, which I can't complain about. Honestly it wouldn't be surprising if George and Wilbur do the plane journey over together. However, Wilbur has expressed his desire to travel America and as much as I'd enjoy Georgebur taking landmark after landmark, it seems more likely for George to travel on occasion to the states where Wilbur finds himself. Sadly indicating the real life vlogs with Gnf will regrettably be left in the UK.

My first attempt at an interview fic! Read this on Ao3, or under the cut.Ā
Spotlight on Eric Bittle
Ā Interview by Elizabeth Chu
Photographs by Jack Zimmermann
Ā The internet personality, author, and baker talks about his childhood, his relationship with Providence Falconers captain Jack Zimmermann, being a LGBTQ role model, why he struggled with his overnight success, and his upcoming cookbook.
Ā I meet Eric Bittle in person for the first time on a Saturday afternoon, in a trendy coffee shop in downtown Providence. Even though Iāve heard of it in passing, Iāve never been inside. Eric obviously has, since when I approach the table where heās chosen to sit, Eric is already chatting familiarly with one of the waitresses.Ā
Ā But after a couple minutes talking to Eric, I mentally revisit that assumption. Eric Bittle has a way of putting people at ease, of making even the most distant strangers feel like long-lost friends-- through his warm personality, but also through his seemingly-never ending supply of homemade baked goods. By the time I sit down across from him, Iām already in possession of a whole pie and two jars of jam.Ā
Ā Most of the celebrities Iāve met have on screen personalities that are vastly different in person, but the Eric Bittle I meet that Saturday could have been pulled directly out of his Netflix series or one of the episodes from his vastly popular vlog. Heās perennially bright and cheery, with a Southern drawl thatās been blunted by years in New England, but is still very present. When I mention it, Eric laughs. āI used to hate my accent, but I think itās become as part of my brand as pies are. Iād probably lose all of my followers if I started talking like a Yankee,ā he jokes.
Ā The source of Bittleās accent is his hometown-- Madison, Georgia, a town of barely four thousand people. When I ask what drove him to move up north, he gestures to himself as a whole. āNot too many opportunities for a baking, skating, Beyonce-loving gay boy in Morgan County.ā He turns more serious, though, when he continues: āI was bullied a lot as a child. When I think back to my childhood, to living in Georgia-- for people who looked or acted different, it could be suffocating. I remember feeling like my future was just so starkly outlined for me-- going to a state school, settling down with a nice girl, spending the rest of my life just pretending. It sounds like overdramatic teenage angst now, I know, but I always knew if I wanted to live honestly, I needed to get out.āĀ
Ā And so Eric applied-- and was accepted to--Samwell University in Massachusetts, which touts itself as one of the most LGBTQ friendly schools in America, under the motto āone in four, maybe more.ā According to Eric, itās where he began to come to terms with himself and his identity, where he finally said the words āIām gayā out loud, where he continued to bake and vlog and began to think seriously about a career in both, and where, perhaps most famously, he met his now-husband, Providence Falconers captain Jack Zimmermann.Ā
Ā āWe both played on the hockey team, but we werenāt exactly friends at first,ā Bittle says about his relationship with Zimmermann.
Ā So, of course, I have to ask him-- what is it like, being a baker married to a hockey player? Eric and his husband seem like almost comical counterpoints in every aspect of their careers and personalities. Eric makes his living through baking and cooking, Jack plays in the notoriously-macho NHL. Eric has built a brand and a food empire off of cheeriness and Southern hospitality, Jack has a reputation of being a āhockey robot,ā with his cold, generally disagreeable demeanor during interviews.
Ā āWell, with it all laid out like that, it really does sound like weāre night and day,ā Eric laughs. āBut honestly? We just work. We both love skating-- thatās what we bonded over in college, actually. We also both technically majored in history, even though we have very different specialities and did so for pretty different reasons. But even our differences are compatible. Like, I love talking, he doesnāt, so weāre never talking over each other or silent. Also, pro hockey players have to eat an insane number of calories, so Jackās always there to eat my cooking, and thatās really all I can ask for.ā
Ā Eric and Jack, who played on a line together briefly at Samwell, took the sports world by storm seven years ago when they kissed on the ice after the Falconers won the Stanley Cup, making Jack the first openly LGBTQ player in the NHL. The pair broke yet another barrier for LGBTQ people in hockey soon after, when Eric became the first openly gay NCAA Division I hockey captain.Ā
Ā When I ask Eric if he ever thought about following in his partnerās footsteps and pursuing a career in professional hockey, he just laughs. āOh, definitely not. I love being on the ice, but I donāt think I would have made it very far in the NHL or AHL.ā
Ā His fame may have started out in the (relatively niche) world of professional hockey, but since graduating from Samwell, Eric has found incredible success beyond the legacy of that historic kiss. His first book, published five years ago, spent several weeks on the New York Times Food and Diet bestseller list, and was applauded as a fresh, vibrant take on Southern cuisine and desserts. Ā Check, Please Ā reads as seventy percent cookbook, thirty percent memoir, with every page infused with Bittleās indomitable, ubiquitous personality. His vlog, which he started in high school and has updated continuously ever since, has millions of subscribers, who tune in every week to hear Bittle talk about everything from pies and cookies to relationships and family. Finally, and perhaps most famously, Bittle hosted his own Netflix series last year, applauded as a combination of Marie Kondo and Queer Eye, in which he taught baking with his usual brand of positivity and universal appeal, interspersed with feel-good moments and life lessons.
Ā It strikes me that while Bittleās career may have been jump-started by his relationship with Jack Zimmermann, heās certainly managed to make a name for himself in the years since. To the hockey world, he may still be an afterthought to Jack Zimmermann, but to the baking world (and a good portion of Netflixās viewership), the name Jack Zimmermann is an afterthought to that of Eric Bittle.Ā
Ā āJack definitely gets a kick out of it when weāre in public together and I get recognized, and he doesnāt,ā Eric says. āItās kind of crazy, actually-- I definitely couldnāt have imagined all this ten years ago, back in college or in high school.ā
Ā And what did Eric imagine himself doing? āTo be honest, I donāt think I had any idea. When I decided to go to Samwell, I didnāt even have a major in mind or anything. I just wanted to get out of Georgia. And at Samwell-- I mean, I majored in American History, of all things. Talk about a useless degree! I literally just chose the major that let me take the most baking or baking-adjacent classes.ā He pauses, and laughs. āIt drives Jack crazy, actually-- I never have a plan for anything, really, big or small. Iām the kind of person who just crosses my fingers and hope it all shakes out for the best.ā
Ā His husbandās opinion aside, this tactic seems to have worked out pretty well for Eric. His next, eagerly anticipated cookbook, which follows much in the vein of his Netflix show, is due to come out in two months this August. āItās going to be focused on easy, cheap cooking and baking thatās still healthy and fulfilling. I think thereās a mindset that to make tasty, healthy food you need to have expensive ingredients and tools, or a lot of time on your hands, or have a lot of experience. But like-- I made food for an entire hockey team in a frat house on a college studentās allowance for four years, so I know something about cooking healthy on a budget,ā he jokes. āI really just want to make good, healthy food accessible for everyone.ā
Ā Well, heās managed to do that, and more. Eric Bittleās career so far has certainly been a whirlwind. Heās gone from publishing his first cookbook to hosting his own show in whatās only been a matter of years.
Ā āI do have to pinch myself sometimes, ā Eric says about his dizzyingly quick ascent to fame. āLike, Carrie Underwood tagged me in a tweet about hockey husbands the other day. Carrie Underwood!ā The disbelief is clear in his voice. āI mean, Jackās always been the bigger fan of country music, but the Georgia boy in me had to lie down for a moment when I saw the notification. So I think-- I still canāt really believe all of it, you know? It feels like yesterday I was still about to graduate college, with barely any plan and procrastinating on my thesis. And I guess sometimes-- sometimes I do feel a bit guilty, you know? Like-- thereās so many people fighting for this, fighting for what Iāve got-- getting books published, getting a show, everything else. I definitely had a leg up in name recognition because of Jack and hockey, and even when Jack and werenāt married yet, I never had to worry about having a roof over my head if the vlog wasnāt bringing in enough money or the cookbook wasnāt selling well enough.ā He pauses, pensive, and itās not the first time in this conversation that I mentally reassess my first assumptions about Eric Bittle. Behind the nationally famous smile and welcoming accent is a thoughtful young man still grappling with becoming a public figure and a role model, with a sprinkling of imposter syndrome, who doesnāt understand exactly what millions of people across the country see in him.Ā
Ā But perhaps that as well is an unfair assessment. Itās clear that Eric has a refreshing genuiness that few public figures possess, and that this is part of what has managed to speak to so many people from all backgrounds. That on some level, his modesty about his own fame is part of what constitutes his appeal.Ā
Ā When I mention this, Eric flushes a bright shade of pink. āOh, arenāt you a flatterer. Well, I suppose so.ā
Ā So after this cookbook, whatās next? Is fatherhood on the horizon?Ā
Ā āI did mention that I never have a plan, didnāt I?ā he quips. But he does confide that he and Jack have been talking about having a family. āWeāve always wanted kids, but thereās always been something going on. Jackās job and being on roadies all the time, me trying to get my career started. We donāt want our kids to be raised by babysitters and nannies, you know? We want to be there for them, so while itās definitely something weāre considering, weāre trying to balance timing. But it has been a couple years, so.ā He blushes. āWeāre revisiting the idea.ā
Ā āBut other than that-- I have been approached about the possibility of some other projects and shows in the future, but I probably canāt talk about those,ā he says. āAnd though itās always been a dream of mine to own a bakery, that would be a pretty huge commitment. So I guess Iām just trying to say that Iām not really sure exactly what comes next.ā Nevertheless, he grins, as if to say, Ā and isnāt that exciting ?
Ā Fatherhood or his own bakery-- Iām sure that no matter what comes next for Eric Bittle, heāll forge ahead with his characteristic positivity and Southern grace, with plenty of baked goods along the way. *

hey elle! i saw your answers for the questions i sentāi love coffee and cookie dough ice cream too! iāve found that i like a lot of coffee-flavored stuff like ice cream, cake, and candy lol. i also really love cookies and cream! iād say thatād be my favorite with coffee and cookie dough being VERY CLOSE seconds
BABY DONāT STOP IS ICONIC WHEW but may i propose....haikyuu boys dancing to it.......
anyways today iāve got some headcanons for a past written on the margins question! first it was a karaoke party with the seijoh 4, and now itās a road trip! aka you and iwaizumi are the only ones with any braincells in this godforsaken car (they make you handle the gps stuff since youāre the best with it). i can imagine each of them rotating and driving for a set number of hours or at least until they reach a rest stop, especially on long trips. whoeverās sitting shotgun (they rotate between this seat too) has control over the radio and aux cord and oikawa jokes that itās the best part of going on road trips (but is he really joking though...)
makki and mattsun pretend to groan when you sit shotgun, but in actuality they donāt mind and will probably sing along to some of the songs you play (if thereās a rap part in the song currently playing everyone makes mattsun rap along i feel like his voice just fits it) while oikawa would be like UGH FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME MUSIC TASTE just to get a rise out of the other boys (but he really does think those kpop songs you blast lowkey slap heās been listening to some of them while he works out or goes on his morning runs). iwa generally doesnāt have much of a preference but i can see him being partial to more upbeat songs to keep him or whoeverās driving awake, but even during slow songs the rest of you guys sing loud enough and chaotic enough to prevent anyone from getting any shut-eye (oikawa, makki, and mattsun dramatically act out a whole SAGA)
when you guys reach any rest stop makki is the first one out of the car and he makes a beeline towards the bathroom because he drank a lot of water during you guysā impromptu karaoke session (gotta keep those vocal chords taken care of!). oikawa and mattsun are usually the ones in charge of getting snacks, they always end up getting a lot but they make sure to get everyoneās favorites! the amount of snacks they buy seems overkill but theyāre athletic boys with voracious appetites and getting this many snacks ensures that the car is never short on food. if this is during or post-timeskip iwa is probably a little more strict on the snacks everyone eats (especially with regards to oikawa, being a professional athlete and all) but eventually decides to let up a bitāitās not everyday he gets to go on a trip with his close friends, plus all those calories are gonna get burned right away once you guys reach your destination and go from place to place.
god help anyone who actually falls asleep in the car because oikawa and makki are taking photos of whoeverās sleeping with their phones AND with the polarioid camera you brought. despite this, though, everyone makes a conscious effort to be quieter when someoneās napping, and the volume of the radio is turned a bit lower. one of your favorite pictures on your phone is a selfie you took of everyone while you were sitting in the passenger seat: mattsun was driving at the time and though he wasnāt looking at the camera, a smile is on his face as he makes a peace sign with one hand; oikawa, iwa, and makki are sleeping in the back seats with oikawa and makki leaning on iwaās shoulders (he lost a few rounds of rock paper scissors and had to sit in the middle). this also extends to when youāre asleep in the car as wellāoikawa jokingly made his phone background a selfie of you leaning on his shoulder while napping (featuring a blurry iwaizumi at the side) but he actually finds it quite cute and doesnāt want to change it to his usually background quite yet.
itās evening when you guys finally reach your hotel and everyoneās a bit tired from being cooped up in the car all day but surprisingly enough no oneās really sleepy because everyone at one point had the opportunity to nap on the way there. if youāre dating one of the boys the others DEFINITELY make you two take one room while the other three take the room adjacent to it. after everyoneās gotten ready for bed youāre all gathered in one of the hotel rolls just vibing on your phones and you and oikawa decide itās the perfect time to bring out The Sheet Masksā¢ļø that you kept in the cooler in the car during the trip so theyād remain cold. many more goofy photos of everyone with the masks on their faces are taken.
by this point itās late at night and eventually you guys fall into having some nice, genuine heart-to-heart conversations. if this is during or post-timeskip everyoneās sharing what theyāve been up to ever since graduation or ever since you guys last saw/talked to each other. itās just such a nice and comforting environment to be in because everyoneās a little tired from the dayās events and so itās not as loud and boisterous, but at the same time this tiredness and it being nighttime means everyoneās filters are a little looser than usual and you could ask for advice on just about anything and everyone else would chime in with both lighthearted and actual suggestions. the boys are just SOFTER during this time like you could bring up how youāve been getting back into something you did during high school (like playing piano or guitar or something) and theyād want you to show them videos or pictures of what youāve been up to! maybe one boy brings up something thatās been worrying them for a while and you and the others are giving him words of encouragement while also cracking jokes. itās just really chill and nice and everyone likes these late night talks because they bring you all a little closer.
everyone ends up sleeping in the same hotel room. you wake up sandwiched between oikawa and mattsun (oikawaās got an arm thrown around you and mattsunās long leggies are literally on top of yours and you wonder how you managed to sleep soundly last night) and iwa and makki are on the pull out sofa bed and youāre like Hey Guys. What The Heck (makki takes this opportunity to snap a photo of the three of you wrapped up in the bedcovers) and when you guys go to get breakfast at the hotel buffet itās strangely quiet because almost everyone is still sleepy lol.
after getting some food in your system and getting ready for the day youāre all back to your usual energetic selves! you snap a mirror selfie of everyone gathered around the sink in one of the hotel rooms because oikawa was finishing getting ready (he takes the longest i just know it) and the other boys were just hanging around him talking about whatās planned for the day. the schedule you guys have isnāt super specific but thereās a few choice locations that you guys looked into in advance and try to visit no matter what! a day out with them is definitely filled with photos. youāve got a lot of them in which theyāre trying to recreate some funny pose in a picture oikawa saw online (like the one of nct in the ask i sent you earlier!!) and they either turn out really great or really horrible (funny) because you have a knack for taking photos where everything looks normal but someoneās face would be really blurry. but they would also try and take some really nice photos tooātheyāll all even help you if you want to take some solo shots! oikawa and makki know the best angles for aesthetically pleasing photos, mattsun has a knack for taking panorama photos that look perfect, and iwaizumiās really good at taking those types of photos of you guys jumping in the air without them looking weird. youāve basically got four tall hypemen itās great!!
overall i think itād be so fun to go on a trip with them because itās the perfect balance!! theyāre chaotic clowns but they also wonāt hesitate to give you a piggyback ride if your feet really hurt or if your shoes are giving you blisters (oikawa will try and make iwa give him a piggyback ride too, though). you guys end up getting a lot closer and having a TON of photos and inside jokes at the end of the trip, and though youāre all reluctant to go back, you also all know that this is only the beginning of a lot more outings together! if you take little clips of various events throughout the trip and compile them all together into a little vlog theyāll all probably watch it together through zoom or discord screenshare or something loool
THIS IS SO LONG take a shot (of water) every time i say one of the guysā names or if i say āeveryoneā or some variation of it FJDJSNS seijoh 4 brainrot things am i right.....i hope you enjoyed reading this as much as i enjoyed writing and thinking of this! i think in the future i might think of stuff for if you go on a trip with the miya twins (and maybe suna too?).....hmmm hmmm hmmm!!! āšø
ā from elle ! i love this so so much >_< like literally what do i have to do to go on a road trip with the seijoh four??? it would be so much fun and chaotic and i want that for me,, i love them and their friendship so much it's insane ;-; anyways, thoughts + additions under the cut <33 thank you for this !!
everyone who isn't driving makes it their mission to annoy the one who is; whether it's through repeatedly poking their cheek, asking how long of the drive they have left, etc. the person who can last the longest in driver's seat would probably be iwaizumi, all his years playing volleyball with them as prepared him for this moment ā but also looked up breathing exercises to avoid getting angry.
the best person to have riding shotgun would most be mattsun, especially when it's really late or super early ; keeps the conversation going and doesn't fall asleep, even when everyone in the backseat is. he shotguns energy drinks every hour or so.
i love the idea of oikawa, makki, and mattsun acting out a whole saga in the backseat omg !! in my head it's a song like taylor swift's love story wherein makki is the love interest, oikawa is taylor, and mattsun is like the dad who doesn't want them together. they really go all out on the acting ā oikawa might have let out a couple of tears ā and even iwa cracks a lil smile from the driver's seat.
awe timeskip!iwa watching out for everyone's diets ;-; but i do agree that he's gonna let up a bit considering that everyone doesn't see each other all the time. but i feel like he gives everyone the lookā¢ every now and then despite this.
aw cmon don't hit me with oikawa making his background me leaning on his shoulder as i sleep that's so adorable i might cry :<< but other photos taken during naps include : iwa leaning on oikawaās shoulder, makki sleeping with his eyes halfway-open ??? mattsunās face covered in stickers that you impulse-bought at a random stopover.
sheet masks with the boys ??? yes pls !! though iwa would definitely be the type to almost wash his face after and oikawa screeched just before he was able to splash water on his face.
but late in the night heart to hearts ??? ugh, peak softness from the boysĀ ā everyone cries at some point because woah all of you really grew so much since high school and it made everyone feel all warm and tender.
but at some point, without thinking, and also bec itās late and what does he have to lose, iwa just goesĀ āyou know, i had a crush on you when we were in high schoolā at yn and everyone just goes ?!?!?!?!?
yn : what the hell i had a crush on you ????
and oikawaās just cackling in the background like,Ā āi knew it !!!! both of you kept saying i was crazy for pushing it i feel so vindicated rnāĀ
meanwhile makki hands mattsun some money because they bet on it years ago and they were finally getting answersĀ ā makki thought you would confess first and mattsun thought it would be iwa ; several years too late but at least ;//
also i would just love to fall asleep in between oikawa and mattsun,,, please how do i get that
also onĀ mattsunās panoramas: everyone likes moving around a lot when he takes those photos and itās the perfect mix of weird and cool because yeah there are like fiveĀ makkiās but one of them looks like he has a third arm and a triangular head
and the vlog and we all get to watch it together over discord ???? thatās it, thatās what i want ;-;
tldr; I would give anything to go on a road trip with the seijoh four ;((
