What Turned me Gay: The first BGeast match I purchased - Troy & Brian Baker v Vinny Trevino & Joshua Goodman (bgeast.com)
It's no secret that Bgeast turned me gay. The combination of hot men in compromising situations, muscles straining, humiliating holds; all summed up to ignite something inside of me.  Now while all of that is worth a post in itself, I wanted to devote this time to rekindle a memory specifically about the first Bgeast match I watched, Tag Team Torture 3.  
What turned me gay (not really) ... 
Tumblr media
Troy & Brian Baker v Vinny Trevino & Joshua Goodman (bgeast.com)
This post, inspired by the sidelineland.com blog, takes a tongue and cheek look into "what made me gay (not really)" and in thinking about the topic of gay wrestling, it's helpful to go back to the beginning - at least my beginning as a gay wrestling fan.
The Background Now, when I first viewed Tag Team Torture 3, I had no idea what to expect.  Sure I had watched porn before, but the default for porn back then (and now) was a cheesy few minutes of story line followed by emotionless hard core action.  In those scenes the guys refused eye contact with each other, closed their eyes, and probably thought of their girlfriends or something while they did the deed so in a very big way, bgeast was different.  
Tumblr media
Baker and Baker - two reasons why I purchased this match.  Beefier Brian and Tasty Troy. 
Tumblr media
In hindsight, I love the Backstreet Boy Look on Mr. Joshua.  This was a very popular look back then - Highlights and a Soul Patch.
And boy was Tag Team Torture 3 different, from the opening scene I realized that the focus was on the wrestling and everything, from the guys lifting weights, to the trash talk; all of this led up to struggle between men.  
Tumblr media
Troy and Brian bonding before the match.  They build each other up saying stuff in the tone of 'you're the best, no you're the best'.  They support and encourage each other ... at least for now. 
Tumblr media
Compare that to the other team, bragging about how much they can bench or talking shit about their opponents the "beach boys".  There's no building anyone up here, simply tearing the pretty boys down.  
In lieu of porn which hurried to climax and rushed to "get the job done", gay wrestling highlighted the emotions exchanged between our guys and what is sex really except a bundle of intense emotions.  
The Action Finally, 20 minutes in the guys start to wrestle.  I told you that gay wrestling takes it's time and slowly savors each and every popping bicep and ab and now we have the Troy Baker reveal and boy was it worth the wait...
Tumblr media
Troy knows what we're all here for. 
Tumblr media
And later, Troy swooning over himself.  The man and I are on the same wave length when it comes to admiring that body. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But all that muscle just begs to be abused. 
Brian Baker is the powerhouse but he can't fight off two men by himself and it's clear that Troy is more interested in himself than on the match.  
Tumblr media
Mr. Joshua multitasking by dominating and making his infamous "adjustment".  I love how the back of his hand goes straight from his package to smacking Brian on the back of his head.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brian: [exasperated]: Lookout Troy!
Tumblr media
Vinny: You like that surfer boy?  Troy: *Moan*
The Finale At this point our heroes are done for.  All that camaraderie, the hours at the gym spent sculpting those muscles, all of that vanishes and we are left with a beaten Troy Baker.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To further the point, our heels double team the helpless Troy while his brother watches on.  Further emphasizing that there is no coming back from this one.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Troy's abs of steel are put to the test with yet another barrage of abuse.  That golden tan is starting to turn a shade of pink as even those abs of steel have their limits.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But the real crescendo for this match comes at the end.  When Brian seems to triumph despite the odds and an upset looks possible, that is until a weakened Troy folds under our heels.  It's that moment followed by a betrayal when our gay wrestling saga is complete and the Baker Brothers are finally broken with sound and fury. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In hindsight it's obvious to see why gay wrestling sucked me in and became my obsession.  I've always loved the emotional highs when I wrestled in high school and bgeast perfectly captured those stories of struggle and dominance multiplied by like 1,000.   You see this story, told through sweat and humiliation is so vivid, so real, that the feelings I get now from watching a 20 year old tag team match are the same as when I first saw them and  is undoubtedly what turned me gay (not really).

It was early morning, just before first period Spanish, when you finally decided to say something.
“Okay, so I can’t be the only one creeped out by that thing, right?” 
You looked around with a sense of judgement as six pairs of eyes immediately whipped around to meet your own. Taking a moment to observe the flower in Annie's hand, and the box of chocolates in Shirley's, you stopped biting at the end of your pen momentarily to gesture at said thing; which just so happened to be your school's mascot.
It was Valentine's day at Greendale community college. Something that, in between your day to day classes and usual group shenanigans, you had forgotten about. If the seven couples french kissing hadn’t reminded you of that enough on your way to the library, the pair of heart shaped boxers draped over the statue outside did. 
You had sat down at the study group as usual, expecting Britta’s rant about the patriarchal undertones of the holiday and a well timed meta quip from Abed, but instead all you got was a pair of artificially painted eyes staring at you.
The mascot in question turned to you and made what sounded like an offended gasp as it stopped wheeling its little cart full of gifts. Cards covered in pink hearts and lacey trim overflowed from it, all attached with tacky glue, and you got a good look at one of them as it was sent flying near your forehead.
“Jeez! Sorry, man! I didn’t know this job meant that much to you!” You swiftly ducked under the table to avoid the line of fire. Coming up once the sound of squeaky wheels on carpet faded away, you ended up glowering as Troy laughed at you.
“Shut up, Barnes. Abed got more muffins than you.” You glared, referencing the lack of valentines gifts he'd been given. Troy was quick to choke on his laughter after that. He straightened his posture consciously, only stealing a look or two at the goodie basket placed neatly in front of Abed.
“Great dodge.” The amateur filmmaker praised you in his usual quick pace as you picked up the card from the floor. “If you had been in the Matrix, and that card was a bullet, that would have been the second coolest scene in the movie. Next to the other part where Neo also evades bullets.”
“Neo’s? I have a few friends that are those.”
“Ignoring Pierce's questionable life choices and their daily allotted hazing— ” Jeff sighed from his usual spot next to you, “— I have more important things to discuss. And speaking of which!”
Jeff slouched further into his chair as the door to the study room opened once more. You all watched as an extremely hungover Britta stumbled in, a pair of reflective aviators resting on the brim of her nose.
“Sorry I’m late.” She grumbled. Going to sit down she nearly fell out of the chair, and all of you exchanged various looks. If the way Jeff was smirking at Britta said anything, there was some new weird sexually charged adventure to be had between the two, and you were not ready to be in another one of those. You had done your time last week, and you weren't eager to repeat it.
"Actually, you're very late, Britta. See you later!" You slammed your Spanish textbook down on the table with an overly cheesy smile to punctuate the end of your sentence. Britta jumped at the loud noise, hissing at you to shut up, but you were already walking out of the room by then. If the shuffling behind you told you anything, it was that the rest of the group had done the same. Sans Britta and Jeff, per usual.
You tilted your body sideways as you navigated through the busy hall full of various highschool dropouts and divorced parents, letting the sound of tennis shoes squeaking against the floors bounce around in your head. It was more annoying than usual today, and it took you a second to realize that it wasn't the shoes making the noise, but rather Troy as he called after you.
“Hey! Hey! Wait up!" He wheezed. "You are very fast when you want to be!” The athlete gasped for breath when you finally slowed down. Coming to a stop as you turned around to face him, you saw another pair of legs enter your line of sight. This time much thinner, and accompanied with a wicker basket full of various baked goodies.
“Troy, I know you like to have someone hold your hand as you walk to class, but normally that's Abed’s job. Please don't allow me to take that pleasure from him.” You said, face completely blank. If you looked hard enough, you thought Abed’s nose flared a bit to insinuate a laugh.
“No, that’s not what I'm here to— hey how did you know that?” Troy took another gulp of air as his brows furrowed.
“I took a guess based on the way both your bodies and hands are angled apart each morning as you walk into Senior Chang’s class. Also, when you eat Cheetos, it rubs off onto the back of Abed's palm.”
“I don't eat Cheetos that much.” Troy frowned. “Do I? For the record I am not gay." Troy made sure to ennunciate that last part as he stared you down. His facial expression reminded you of a nervous first grader doing a bad job in their school play.
“You do, and that's not important right now.” Abed answered back. His head snapped to you with the same amount of intensity that he always got when thinking of a movie reference, and you got the sense he was holding back for the sake of the conversation. 
Raising both eyebrows, you motioned for them to go on. The hallway was clearing out a bit more, and you didn't want to be caught late for Changs class a third time in a row. Last time he threatened to beat you with maracas, and you wouldn't put it past him to actually carry through with it this time.
“Listen, we have something important to say.” Troy began. Abed backed him up with a furious nod, or his equivalent of it. Which really just boiled down to a regular paced nod.
"Is this about Valentine's day? You should ask Shirley about that."
"Come on man!" Troy threw his hands in the air, turning away from the both of you and crossing his arms. "How did you possibly come to that conclusion so fast?!"
"We were just talking about us holding hands."
"Thank you Abed." The both of you said at the same time. Albeit Troy with a little more teeth grinding then nessicary.
"Did you become a ninja overnight? Did you take a ninja class?" Troy took a step forward as he pointed his forefinger in your face. You stared at it as it approached, going cross-eyed momentarily.
"Yes. And if you did, I would like the name to that class." Abed pipped up.
"No, I didn't go to a ninja class." You said while pushing Troy's arm down. "Does this mean I'm right?"
The lack of response from Troy and Abed's unbothered expression provided you with your answer.
"Are you two trying to ask for dating advice or something?" You frowned as you started to walk in the direction of Spanish. Both of them followed as you fixed your backpack strap. "Because if so, Troy you could learn a lot from Abed. And Abed, if you're having a problem, I don't know how to make you anymore appealing to the ladies than you already are."
"It's true." He responded, looking off into what he probably thought was the fourth wall. "I am devilishly irresistible."
"Stop that!" Troy waved his hand in front of his friends face, bringing both their attentions back to you. "Listen. We were wondering how to go about asking the same person to the dance tonight."
"Oh. So like a love triangle thing? I never liked that troupe."
"No no." Troy shut his eyes as he shook his head. "More of like, uh—"
"Neither of us exactly know." Abed cut Troy off in a matter of fact manor. "We both see ourselves hanging out with them at the dance, but aren't exactly jealous of the other being there too."
"If you wanted me to I could crack open Websters dictionary to find a word for that."
"No thank you." Abed echoed. You simply shrugged.
"Okay. So what do you want me to do about it?" You questioned while turning a corner to another hallway. The three of you were nearly at Spanish now, but this conversation had pulled you in more than conjugating verbs ever could.
"We don't. Exactly know how to ask this person to go to the dance." Troy sucked in a breath.
"You guys have seen plenty of movies. Do the typical thing. Flowers, chocolate, and not what they do in your sci-fi movies Abed." You grinned at him knowingly as you passed through the doorway to class. "Personally I'd take kickpunching robots over literally anything ever, but I tend to be the exception for most things."
"It's not a date though. It's, like, three really close people hanging out. Not in a gay way though! I like girls! With boobs. Yes." Troy stammered as you all plopped into your rickety seats.
"Nice save Troy." Senior Chang called from the front of class with a snicker. He brought his feet down off his teachers desk to lean forward and cup his hands around his mouth. "Or should I call you gay-lord!"
"I really hate this language requirement." Troy grumbled, sinking into his chair. You snorted as Abed stiffly reached his hand out to pat his shoulder, making robot sounds as he did so.
"Cheer up." You allowed yourself a shit eating grin. "It is Valentine's day after all."
Tumblr media
“Well that was a disaster.” You said over the sound of a ringing bell. Students and teachers alike passed you and Annie by as the two of you made your way through the hall, neither of them seeming to care very much if they bumped into you or not. To say that’d you’d almost gotten into a fight or two due to traffic here would be an understatement.
“I don’t know.” Annie frowned. She brushed her hair out of her face and clutched her books to the front of her chest. You made a face subconsciously, the sight reminding you all too much of the stereotypical school girl. “I thought it was very mean of Senior Chang to do that to Troy! And Pierce, I guess.”
“Annie. He called a balding senior citizen and a lonely freshman out on their sad Valentine’s Day gifts to themselves. It’s Chang. Of course it’s mean. But mean things can also be also be disasters.”
The girl next to you seemed to think about your words for a second. Furrowing her brows once or twice, she eventually let out what you could only describe as a harumph.
“Well I think we should do something about it!”
“Pass.” You said without a seconds hesitation. Annie deflated a bit at that and eyed the tips of her shoes. You stole a look down at her, and let out a sigh.
“You know me. I’m such a big fan of sticking my nose in other peoples business when it doesn’t belong— “ Sarcasm. “— but I think you and Shirley would be a better duo for this. She’s ruthless when she sets her mind to it, and you’re crafty in the way that you could have written the script for the movie Seven if you wanted to. Probably.”
“Aww thanks! I think.” Annie beamed. She regained some pep in her step as she skipped ahead of you, only turning back to say one more thing to you. “No wonder Troy and Abed like to talk about you so much. So many obscure movie references between you guys. Cute!”
“Seven was a box office hit, Annie— “ You began with the hint of a frown tugging at your lips, but she was already off. No doubt to find Shirley before lunch so they could cook up their plan in a flurry of giggles. That only left you with one more question.
“They talk about me?”
Tumblr media
Jeff huffed as he walked into the near empty classroom. His hands, which he had spent the last three minutes nervously slathering in expensive lotion as a part of his mid-day exfoliation routine, were stuffed deep into his jacket pockets. He wasn’t exactly looking forward to this interaction, but sometimes he’d throw his better judgment out the window. Sometimes.
Raising a single eyebrow, he glanced around at the spare video equipment set up; the bulk of which was sat right in front of his target. The former lawyer ignored as a kid in a yellow button up kicked a trash can across the room, instead making a beeline for Abed. Who was giving directions rather loudly to the angry kid.
“Wow. Do you normally deal with divas like this?” Jeff flashed his signature charming smile while commenting on the temper tantrum. Better to be friendly and break the ice rather than dive right in. Otherwise you’d scare people off. He learned that while working at the firm.
“One Papa Johns commercial, and he thinks he’s Christian Bale.” Abed pursed his lips comically.
“Look, uh— “ Jeff began to steer away from the topic of the questionable kid as he pulls Abed’s attention in. “You were right earlier. During Spanish. Britta is being weird around me, and I don’t know what to do about it.”
“By being right, do you mean my prediction that the accidental booty call she sent you while drunk is going to cause the imminent breakup of our fragile group?”
Jeff blinked.
“Yeah. That.” He spat out.
“Nice. So what can I do for you?” Abed leaned back into his makeshift directors chair while crossing his legs. “Do you need a drunk voicemail of your own to send to her so the score will be evened? Because I have nowhere to be for the next twenty four hours and personal dilema to avoid.”
Jeff inhaled with the intent to bulldoze over the younger mans statement, but ended up falling flat.
“Ignoring that last part, yeah I do, actually. How did you know that?” He squinted. Jeff would never admit it, but sometimes it creeped him out how easily Abed could predict what people would say next.
“Classic sitcom staple.” Abed shrugged without changing his expression one bit. “Goes hand in hand with the booty call. Now— “ He leaned forward with a glint in his eye. One that Jeff didn’t quite like.
“How well can you act?”
Tumblr media
You don’t know how you ended up here, and you had been ready to leave the moment you arrived.
A faint punch stain from years ago sat at the hem off of your slacks, reminiscent of a house party from a year ago that had ended in disarray. They were the good slacks too. Paired with what was thankfully an unstained button up polo shirt. This was the closest anyone was going get to fancy from you tonight.
Various pink and red hues cascaded across the dance floor, playing into the Valentine’s Day theme as the schools mascot continued to prowl around on the dance floor. You were sure that the dean would be happy with himself over that if it wasn’t for the fact that couples were making out everywhere. It was pretty fun watching him try to break them all up, actually. You’d made a little game out of it with how long you’d been standing at the punch table.
The toe of your shoe came in contact with a stray balloon from one of the tables centerpieces. With a downward twitch of your lips, you picked the rubbery material up into your hands and started messing with it. Sounds of latex on skin distracted you from all of the screeching and poor singing.
“Not having a lot of fun, huh?” A voice from your left asked.
Glancing near the onion rings that had been laid out as finger food, you saw the familiar form Britta peering at you from under some fake eyelashes. That would have been more of a shock to you if the skimpy red dress she was wearing didn’t overshadow it.
“Hey there.” You avoided her question as you threw the balloon back into the crowd it had come from. “Great disco ball costume. Very sparkly.”
“Ha ha.” She mocked you before crossing your arms. “For the record, I still think Valentine’s Day is a sham. I’m just doing this to see Jeff squirm.”
“Ah. Well then, I’m sure all of the women out there will forgive you for your transgressions.” You teased her with an empty smile.
Britta let out a cross between a laugh and a huff, gaze straying from you to look out at the mass you launched your balloon into. Occasionally someone in unusually high heels would fall, only to be swept back up into the bobbing heads.
“Have you talked to Troy lately?” Britta cut in suddenly. The tone of her voice made you narrow your eyes, and you hummed out a suspicious no.
“That question is both too casual and well delivered on a night like this to have come from you. What’s going on.” You had fully abandoned kicking around stray balloons for talking with her. Or at least, staring at her forehead while she talked. You didn’t know if you could manage eye contact right now.
“He was looking for you earlier at lunch. While sweating. A lot.” Britta scrunched her nose up as if she could still smell the body odor. “Sounded like he wanted to ask you something.”
You looked away from her for a moment, temporarily overcome with a feeling of nausea.
“Oh, yeah. My bad. I was in the study room.” A pause. “Studying.”
“Troy said that he checked there beforehand.” It was Britta’s turn to squint at you. “Why are you the one acting weird now?”
Rubbing at the back of your neck proved as a temporary relief to her question. Inhaling through your mouth, you pulled out your phone and messed with it for a second.
“I got a weird voicemail from Abed today. The main part is him talking to me about the dance scene from Breakfast Club, I think, and some weird phone thing with Jeff and you— " Britta coughed into her hand at that “— but the last few seconds really threw me.”
You opened your mouth to continue the story, but quickly shut it once you saw that Britta wasn’t paying attention anymore. You didn’t even have to follow her line of sight to know she was staring at a dejected looking Jeff— who had been standing by the cusp of the exit for six minutes now. You didn’t even have to nod at her to go before she took off, awkwardly waddling in her stilletos in an attempt to not trip.
It only took a few more minutes of watching the two of them go back and forth for you to give up on anything exciting happening to you. With a halfhearted grumble, you took one last grab at the punch bowl before starting towards the double doors. You hoped the juice had been spiked. If you made all this effort to show up to some lame school thing, might as well get a little tipsy.
“Well this is awkward.”
A harsh cough came from your throat as you choked on your own spit.  In an attempt to make yourself feel better, you turned around to glare at whoever had scared you, only to start coughing more.
“Abed?” You wheezed. Letting out another round of coughs, you caught a glimpse of yourself in the reflection of the sunglasses on his face.
“I came as fast as I could when I realized Troy was stuck as Senior Changs whore for the night.” He looked at you calmly as you continued to die a little right in front of him.
Finally taking one more gulp of punch from the table, you calmed down enough to string together a sentence.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Let me explain for any in the audience that might have missed it while in the bathroom.” Abed held up a finger. All you could do was deadpan weakly at him.
“Both Troy and I approached you a little bit ago saying that we had something important to say to you. He worded it wrong. We were supposed to ask you something, not tell you. Instead, Troy allowed Senior Chang’s torture to ruin that question, and later I with Jeff and Britta’s voicemail problems”
“Their what’s? What is going on with voicemails today.”
“Not important.” Abed carried on. “What’s important is that while I was fulfilling the spot of Jeff’s drinking buddy, I realized something.”
“That you shouldn’t be drinking??” You questioned wildly. It was beginning to feel like this night was a special episode in a really bad main cable show. Either that or this place was finally getting to you.
“No. I realized that while Troy was fitting himself and Pierce into extra tight women’s suits, that we would miss the opportunity to ask you what we wanted to. I called Troy to tell him to go look for you, but only after sending a call to you that I do not remember the contents of. I assume you have it?” He blinked owlishly.
With a pair of very wide and very confused eyes, you grabbed your phone for the second time that night and shook it with a loose wrist. The audio from a few hours ago began to play faintly. It’s sound was swallowed by the bass of the dances music, but the both of you could still make the words out. Abed’s voice tumbled out at twice the speed it normally does, his energy no doubt heightened by alcohol.
“— e’re sort of like Marty McFly and Jennifer Parker, but there’s three of us. Have you seen the second movie? I need to show you the second movie. There’s more of Jennifer in that than the first. And Martys mom isn’t trying to get with him. Oh, and you don’t have to have a time traveling car for us to want to go to the dance with you. Although that would be nice. Jeff stop drooling on tha —"
Abed looked at it silently as the message continued to run. It was as if he expected nothing more from its contents. For a second you wondered how he’d react to the twenty minutes before that where all he talks about is Breakfast Club, but you figured it would be the same.
The feeling of nausea from earlier was back, and this time was trying to crawl out of your throat with a ferocity. Swallowing both your nerves and that not so metaphorical metaphor, you inhaled.
“So. Troy’s okay with this?” You asked cautiously, as if this was a dubious prank. Abed nodded almost immediately after you asked. The nausea subsided.
“And you’re okay with this?”
Another nod.
“Alright.” You shuffled. It felt like ten pounds had been lifted off your chest, and you didn't know how to express that. “I’ll go to the dance. With the both of you.”
A brief period of silence stretched between the two of you. The lights continued to flair, and the music continued to shake the floorboards, but none of you moved.
“Abed?”
“Sorry. You made me so happy I peed a little, and didn’t want to say anything.”
The corner of your mouth lifted up once. Twice. It only took one more time for a tirade of laughter to escape you all in one go. Abed’s unmoving expression just watched as you laughed to yourself, waiting patiently until you had stopped. When you paused to catch your breath, Abed placed a hand on your shoulder and looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully.
“Normally this doesn’t happen in shows.” He hummed. “Do you think that this is a way of adding some diversity in the form of a polyamorous couple at a community college?”
“How about no lables?” You suggested. “It feels weird. What if it was just me, you, and Troy for now.”
Abed repeated your words under his breath, mumbling a little. He lifted his head back up to you with his thought on the proposition, which arrived in the form of a steady thumbs up.
“Cool. Cool cool cool.” You grinned at him. Abed’s nose flared at your use of his unspoken catchphrase, and he turned away from you to cup his hands around his mouth.
"They said yes!" He told the figure dancing on the floor; the likes of which responded with a yell of victory before getting back to it. It took you a minute to get past the skintight blue suit and floral scarf to realize who it was.
"Troy?!" You sputtered with an open mouth. He looked at you at the mention of his name with a painful smile before turning back to his dance partner with a dramatic sob.
"What is he wearing? And why is Senior Chang— oh god." Your eyes widened, unable to look away. "I think I'm going to puke."
"It's better if you don't question it." Abed told you, his hand just a few inches shy of touching his eyes as he hid behind it.
"Give me your hand Abed." You said blankly. Without questioning you, he held it out. You were quick to sheild your own eyes from the dancing.
"So." You turned your head to look at him after a moment of gross silence, both of his hands still in the air. "Movie date tonight when Troy is released from captivity?"
"I've been waiting forever for you to ask that."

Can interest you in a potentially controversial Stobin headcanon in what sounds like a trying time?
If so; Steve and Robin share girlfriend at some point.
Not in the “turns out that time we were both dating girls named Crystal? We were in fact dating one girl named Crystal. Who *somehow* never put it together that my Steve and the Steve she was two-timing me with were in fact the person!”
(This does in fact happen - I’m thinking when Robin’s in college and has met like, three different Crystals (one of whom has parents that lived in the same commune as Robin’s! Such a shame girls named Crystal have been *ruined forever*).
It’s a pretty surreal break up for Crystal; not only are her boyfriend and girlfriend turn out to be actually best friends (in her defence, Robin has taken to calling him “Stevie” at this point and the way she talks about him really conjures the image of a standard preppy bitch who’s been Robin’s best friend since kindergarten, and Steve (in retaliation) tends to use “Rob” and “Robbie”, leading Crystal to believe his Robin is male), and seem almost as angry about this as they are about the infidelity.
Crystal’s attempts at explaining herself and apologising result in Steve retorting that he’s not even mad that she’d want to date Robin - Robin’s fucking amazing! If Crystal had just told him that was what he wanted, he probably would have been okay with it - which Crystal takes as Steve being a bitch, but is something Robin will point later as her realising that this is something she might be okay with.)
Anyway, I figure this is something that would happen when they’re in their 20s and/or their 50s. They’re either approached by a woman who thinks they’re a couple (“does it make our marriage more or less of a sham if we’re sharing a mistress?”) or they approach someone they both have a crush on a la Troy & Abed asking out the librarian.
I don’t think either of them would identify as poly, per se - it’s very much “if it’s you, it’s okay”, and if the girlfriend breaks up with one of them, it’s assumed she’s breaking up with both of them.
I just kind of like the combination of Robin and Steve as Platonic Life Partners, trying to figure out polyamory and just how absolutely Buckwild (Robin’s Wrestler name!) it would be for their [potential] girlfriends and anyone on the outside of the situation. Jon and Eddie just sat there, listening to Steve ramble about the situation bc it’s Robin’s date night and just…bluescreening. Argyle smiling and nodding “happy for you, man. I mean, sucks you’re off the market, but glad you’ve found something that works”.
one yes always interested in controversial takes tbh. two. omg yes exactly you are so smart anon
The Crystal situation!! so true this is absolutely something that would happen to stobin (also true I know a few queer women called crystal). bad luck in love that's them!!
I think Steve is like. mostly monogamous...unless his gf/partner is also dating Robin. like it would make sense to him I think. He'd be like well. this way we don't have to worry you things being weird about my Very Normal Friendship With Robin That Some People Thing Is Weird!
I think I've mentioned before the funny scenario of stobin going "hey me and my platonic life partner saw you across the bar and liked your vibes" and I stand by that.
But also funny is that Steve or Robin's girlfriend being absorbed into their dynamic and realizing that she is..... sort of dating both of them? And her being the one to bring up dating the other and Robin and steve going well how would that change things? and everyone realizing that it would probably only change the amount of kisses gf gets and going well that sounds cool let's try it!
Maybe in their 20s it doesn't work out but they try again in their 50s and they go wow! this was a great idea we were just young and it just didn't work out.
that's so fun. I want them to have crazy dating stories. I want Jonathan and Eddie to sit there going what the hell are these two doing? because the complexities of stobin's dating lives have always confused them even before the poly V started, and argyle just vibing listening to the double date night shenanigans he's being told.

How do you think the study group would react to transfem Abed?
I may not be the best person to ask this because i've never had to come out to like a group of friends or anything but I shall do my best. Here is:
a journey back to my old post format (but with much less parentheticals (i'm lying I promise))
Abed: happy. she'd be happy.
Britta: WAY too supportive. which, you know, isn't technically a bad thing but she just doesn't know when to chill out sometimes. she's like yeah!! feminism!!! which is great, but she's also screaming and Abed wants to just Be
Shirley: hesitant at FIRST. but then she looked into it, asked some questions, and was more accepting. she took the stance of "if any of my kids were like this too, I want them to be safe with me" like how she is with queer people in general
Jeff: initially, a little confused. I think Jeff would take more of a step back for the first little while like maybe a day or two but then of course extend his own congratulations. the pull back isn't because of transphobia, no no no. it's because Jeff is too busy thinking you can do that? you can just like???? do that???
Annie: one of the first people to know, obviously. got really REALLY excited, decided to plan a second gender reveal party for her, and then dialed it back when that was a little too much. still super supportive, and will murder anyone who gets in her way
Troy: you knew it was coming. i'll also say.... somewhat hesitant. yes, I know, unexpected, but hear me out: Abed would also be hesitant to tell Troy because she doesn't know if their relationship is entirely dependent on them being both guys. she doesn't know if her identity is going to completely ruin their friendship, but Troy is like extremely accepting? so she tells him about how stupid she was to worry and it kinda hurts. like wow, you thought I would just abandon you? you thought you weren't going to be my best friend? and it takes them like a few days to get back to their normal relationship.
i'm not sorry

just went back to watching community again and I cant-
so this time it's about 'Regional Holiday Music' 3x10,, and adhagsjjsb it's so fucking good because in a manner it sort of addresses all the wants of the characters right? because to convince them to join the Glee club they need to be incentivised and the incentive in this case is what's so interesting to me:
because 1. it starts with Abed and we all know Abed and how he's all he wants is to be together and loved and he chases the belongingness that he didn't find before in the study group right? but also literally the only thing that cory had to do to get him on board was talk about making him and his friends feel better and be together,,, but also it's literally because media of any kind be it behind the screens or people singing is so much simpler for him to understand cause they are catered and made in such a way that they are easy to perceive and take in without it being more complicated and involving other people's feelings in it
which is Great on its own but the second person to get 'caught' is Troy (because obv Troy will follow Abed wherever he goes, because even when he can't follow he'll wait for Abed to come back to him and tell him about his side quests or just be there for him, but I digress-) but also it's because there's this one thing he's always wanted to be a part of and could never but then comes Abed giving it to him on a silver platter and letting him do the things he wants even if it is by providing him with a loophole
and then third is pierce who even though I loathe him, i do understand (ish) because at the end of the day he's a man out of time and place, he's within people he doesn't understand and who don't want to understand him because all he wants to do is relive his glory days instead of rooting himself in the present (which in large part the study group help him with) (he'll never be my favourite character or even a liked one but I see him and I feel sad because of what he is and always will be and the way he came to be this way) all he ultimately wants is to be 'cool' maong his peers even though both of them operate on different understandings of cool (and yeahhhh)
fourth is Annie which, is very very weird to me because we never really get to know what her song was, what her one wish/incentive was,,, but also is it really that hard to assume that she would cave in when confronted by one of the first few people that she could safely feel as if in the company of friends with? also and this is a straight up hypothesis but I do feel that Annie didn't really get a song to convince her because it wasn't that hard to do it because it didn't really matter because at the end of the day it started with Abed telling her that he stayed for that experiment despite being angry because she was his friend,, and this was her way if reciprocating that (because it was just that given, be ause some things don't need to be explicitly stated to be explicit) (but then why did troy have one? because he was technically going against his entire belief system and the way he identified and looked at himself and that is life changing in some manners and he was still the second one and yeah)... maybe
the fifth one was Shirley and this one is rather simpler because at the end of the day, she traces and finds herself within her belief system rooted in Christianity (which while not for mez i can understand the way belief systems can be very all or nothing for some people) and she just wanted to educate and empower children and people with things that she herself feels empowered by (she goes about it entirely the wrong way ofc because forcing religion on others is never an answer but I don't think nad never have that she's coming at it from a malicious position or intention
then we have jeff and like Annie it's very curious that he doesn't get something that he wishes to incentivise him (at least that's the way I understand that episode) instead, we get to see what Annie and further the audience thinks or is supposed to think about Jeff. He's still that impenetrable (hehehe) person that no-one can actually understand because yes he's an asshole but he's constructed in a very stereotypic asshole kind of way so that's all we get to see from him at that point in time (that's all we're supposed to perceive him as which is why unlike others he never joins in on the song) instead all we get is that he also succumbed somehow. but we're never told what made him submit and give in,, we're always made to look at him from a distance (at least till that point in time and show trajectory) and he might be the main centre of the show (ish arguably more around Abed but plot more centered around him (also I'm very very biased cause I deeply resonate with Abed)) and yeah
and then Britta who again doesn't get a song at all because,, and again throwing arrows in the dark here,,, ofc she has a bad voice and narrative voice isn't really imp to Cory and his performance but also because much like Jeff, there's an induced sense of distance, wherein she technically is supposed to be the main female protag at that point (at least that's the intention it seems to have started with) but in many manners, she's reduced to just that, they make her dumb and so unlike the other main heroines (and I will never not be angry with the way they changed her character post season 1) that at the end of the day that's all she ends up being (again till that point in the show's trajectory)
and yeah ,, and then then at the end of everything, Abed gives up on what he wanted for the group as a whole because he realises that this is not actually happiness that it's creating in everyone, because it's forcing them into roles that they've been tricked into and that's never what he wanted,,, yes he wants them to be together but not at the cost of the happiness of even one of them or all of them and yeah
also anyone that says community is just a silly little show, it is. But it's also so much more because the way it talks about created families and families of choice and being an outsider and trying to find belongingness,,, and in the end finding a place that lets you be the trainwreck that you are and helps you embrace it, is insane and great. And I love the way community as a whole does all of that while feeling so organic and experimental but also insightful and a well thought out piece of media with actual things to say and yeah
(also very unconnected to anything I've just said but I truly despise Shirley's song with everything in me,, I'd ironically and unironically listen to all of the rest of the songs in this episode but not that one (yes including whatever was going on with that Annie mean girls esque but make it worse and yeah)(they are bops honestly 🤷‍♀️)
i will go now but yeah I love community (also also last thing but this is the only way that I'll ever be able to fully digest random musicals in any show because community just does it better, I said what I said.)

This may be for too niche of an audience, but fuck it, I'm reaching the fixated audience of me.
The captain from BBC Ghosts and Abed Nadir from community share quite a few similarities, at least from the way I read them.
They both hyperfixate, and their broad hyperfixation shapes the very way they view reality.
For the captain every interaction is a battle he has to strategize through in order to succeed. People are divided into allies and enemies, ranked into inferiors and superiors. Everything is war to him.
And to Abed the world is a show, every event a plotpoint with tropes he can either embrace or subvert. Their sequence he can break down into genre and predict. Every person is a character with a role, with consistent traits and desires he can navigate.
It is through these lenses that they try to control others sometimes, and are occasionally controlled in turn. Though honestly, when he tries Abed is more effective in this regard. Think about the American poultry episode, the captain could never. The captain attempts to pull rank and order more than he manipulates. That's more Julian's thing. Whereas Abed isn't trying to be the leader, he knows he isn't the main character, but he does want to lead the story where he thinks it would be best
They are both outwardly stoic seeming. If you look at them as a stranger all you will see is a straight face and blunt words. But if you pay any attention to how they actually act, you can see that they actually feel things very deeply. They care a lot. Their way of expressing themselves just isn't the exact same way as everyone else. But if you know what to look for it is not subtle in the least. Every little action is practically dripping with their thoughts and feelings. The way they position their head, the way they fiddle with things in their hands, their habits are visible and consistent. If anyone so wished they could make a list of each one and what they mean. So what if they don't laugh or smile the same way that other people do, if when they try to do it normally to fit in it is a little 'off'. If sometimes people call them emotionless. If sometimes they think that of themselves. They aren't.
This is most visible when they get to interact with their fixation, or when that fixation is taken away from them. Their joy, or upset, is practically palpable. You can see them visibly brighten up when the opportunity to share or interact with the thing they enjoy arises.
And then there is the abandonment that fundamentally changes them. Havers and Troy. Both gone to another place far away, leaving The Captain to stare at an open gate and Abed at an empty chair. The person most important to them, who bothered to understand them more than anyone else ever did, ends up leaving them behind. And it hurts them. A lot. It's one of the last things they speak about with the other characters and audience before their show ends.
For the comfort of hetronormative society they appear as a friend or a working partner to them. Though there is clear subtext that there was something more underneath. That they wanted something more. Even though it was not something they openly spoke of.
They are also both just kind of silly. This is completely unintentional on the captain's part, who would prefer to appear perfectly serious and professional. Abed however does not really give a shit how others see his activities and interests. They just get so into everything they do that it quickly veers into ridiculousness, focused on their task long after everyone else gives it up.
I don't know, I didn't really have any point to this post other than to talk about my current favourite two queer autistic characters. I would highly recommend that if you like Ghosts and the Captain, or Community and Abed, that you also watch the other show. Both will make you laugh and also kick you squarely in the sternum. And if any of you have any thoughts please let me know, I am dying to talk about these things.

If you had to pick an episode for Jeff and Annie to get together, which one would it be?
Hmmm excellent question
I think that, because it’s community and the focus has never been on relationships too much, I would’ve liked them doing relationship stuff on the sidelines. Like—
Maybe have them just hook up in season 4
add a scene at the end of the Christmas episode where everyone else has gone home and they are laughing about the day and Annie is helping clean.
She says something like “sorry if I made that get out of hand. I know I can be… dramatic… and too much”
And Jeff can say something like “cmon Annie. You’re never too much. You’re a perfect amount and make every situation better even when you make it worse”
He goes to move into the kitchen, or tries to ruffle her hair but she catches his hand, looking gobsmacked, and they look at each other
End episode
Then the next episode is the body switching episode (a lot of people say the best ep of season 4 and that’s fair, except troy treats poor Britta like crap)
Start it with Annie waking up in Jeff’s bed and sneaking out
Maybe they are kind of avoiding eye contact that day
When Jeff has his speech to Troy about how he wishes he was brave enough to commit to a relationship, maybe a line about how knowing troy makes him feel braver? Implied he’s thinking about Annie
At the end of the episode he goes to talk to Annie and it’s obvious he’s going to suggest they actually date but before he gets there she cuts him off and says:
“Jeff, knowing you has really helped me relax. I love that I don’t always have to be thinking of the future! I can just live my life and see where things go. I guess I’m more mature now!”
As she wanders off, it’s clear that Jeff is devastated
Then never address it again in season 4
In season 5, maybe one glance in the first episode that makes it clear that they aren’t sure where they left off
In the polygraph episode just add a line where pierce conveys to the gang
“did you know Mr. Winger and Ms. Edison have been seeing each other since they got back to greendale?”
Everyone is shocked
Jeff cries out “how could he know that”
Annie is like “pierce promised our monthly coffee catch ups were confidential!” Or something
Then when questioned, both insist “we’re casual! It’s casual!”
The rest of the season, their interactions are a bit different. They hold hands when people aren’t looking, he’s shown holding her food or bringing her coffee.
Season 5 finale
in the show has the Jeff-Britta engagement. If we really need to keep that we can have Jeff/Annie say they’ve ended things at the start of the episode.
But I say we get rid of the subplot.
Maybe instead he and Annie are talking about ending things in their casual relationship since it’s ~casual~ and they are going to have to separate when the school is closed.
And maybe she’s like “it works out; Abed wants to downsize to a cheaper place anyway; I’m going to transfer out of the city because city college doesn’t have forensics so I guess I’m moving.”
Both are sad
After Jeff’s burst of emotion that opens the door, Jeff stops Annie at the end of the episode
He says “I’m tired of pretending not to have emotions. I don’t want us to be casual, we saved the school so you can stay” and she’s like “but abed already found a one bedroom”
He’s like “move in with me.” She agrees.
Then in season 6, they just are together but it’s only shown in a few throwaway lines an episode
She can even still leave him for her job in the finale if they want it to be sad, but I’d prefer if in their last scene together, he’s like “I’ve never left Colorado but I’ve always wanted to travel, can I come with you?”
Because I hated that Jeff never got to go anywhere in his life
I think this way would lead to minimal changes, like max one subplot would need changing and like one minute’s worth of scenes for every episode I mentioned.
In conclusion:
hook up in season 4 Christmas ep; get outed in the polygraph episode; make it official in season 5 finale

About a week ago I decided to watch Alison Brie’s new movie, Somebody I Used to Know, because I figured it was the closest thing I could get to seeing Abed and Annie together before the Community movie comes out. So I put it on and my first thought was “Why is Annie doing Abed’s job?” My second thought, immediately following the first one, before I had seen more than a few minutes, was “Trobed AU? Trobed AU?? Trobed AU???”
So I spent about the first half of the movie imagining what if it was Abed whose TV career went south and he came back to Greendale just in time to try and stop Troy from getting married to someone else. Except obviously I couldn’t make it work because if anything it should be the other way around – Troy is the one who left, so it should be him trying to stop Abed’s wedding. And Abed would love that because it’s so tropey. In fact, he’d probably have been hoping it would happen...
AND THEN I remembered that back in the early days of the Community Fandom Renaissance of 2020 there was a fantastic rollercoaster of a fic that was exactly like that, Troy coming back from his trip to stop Abed’s wedding, except Abed never actually planned on getting married and it was a ploy to get Troy to come back. It took me a while but I found it again and I just reread and it’s even more chaotic (in a good, Greendale way) and hilarious than I remembered. I haven’t laughed so much in weeks.
So this is just an extremely long-winded way to say please do yourself a favour and read (or reread) Annie, Abed, and the Long Con by callmealvinandthechipmunks, it’s so much fun.

Do you have a favourite fic you've written?
aaaa thank you for the ask. I will use this as an excuse to obsess over my own writing :D
I truly genuinely believe that my best fic is Lethal Game Design aka my trobed Saw au! I reread this fic so much and I'm so proud of how it turned out. Obviously since I'm autistic about Saw and Community, I automatically love the combination. But I'm also just really happy with how I wrote Troy and Abed to fit into the Saw universe. I feel like I did a good job of having them still be really close to actual Troy and Abed, while still having some of those Adam and Lawrence characteristics, and getting everything to play out like it does in Saw. It took me quite a lot of planning, and I'm sure there's ways it could've been improved, but I am so insanely happy with it. It makes me wanna write more combinations of horror and trobed!!
Im also really proud of Intro to Secrets and Homosexuality. This is my most popular fic and also my longest one, and I do genuinely love it. I got to write both trobed and lesbian Annie, and I think I wrote both plot-lines pretty well. I think if I were to write it now, I'd maybe make a few small changes, but overall it's another fic I'm insanely proud of!!!

Down The Rabbit Hole, Chapter 19
Word Count: 1.4k
Warnings: mentions of death and sperm. also slight smidgen of angst/and feels
Tumblr media
“Well that was a weird afternoon.”
“Yeah, I guess that I knew Pierce was part of a weird, futuristic cult, but I wasn’t prepared for a funeral with so much beeping!” Annie confirmed, as she removed her blue jacket; one that was identical to the ones that were required to be worn during Pierce’s funeral. 
“Well, let’s not judge!” Shirley added in as she sat down, and everyone joined her, while removing their own jackets, and blue hats, “Everyone has a right to whatever fake religion they delusionally choose.”
“Abed, you were by the coffin for a really long time,” Annie noted, “are you okay?”
“I’m okay,” he confirmed, “although…”
“Troy and Abed are in mourning!” Troy and Abed sang in harmony.
Jeff crossed his arms, “would you guys please stop doing that?”
“I can’t believe that you did it during your eulogy,” Annie announced, shaking her head in disapproval, “it was so uncomfortable.”  
“I don’t think that the audience got that we were singing mourning with a ‘u’ in it!” Abed frowned.
“We were singing mourning with a ‘u’ in it?” Troy asked, his eyes going wide in realization, “oh no!”
“I still don’t fully understand the Laser Lotus theology!” Annie frowned, “so Pierce’s body is in the coffin and we buried it, but his energy is in this energon pod and it contains his life vapor?”
“Yeah, it’s all right here in this incredibly persuasive literature that they passed out!” Troy nodded, pulling out a pamphlet from the church, “once you reach a level 16, you can see the color blurple.”
“Of all the ridiculous cartoon nonsense,” Shirley grumbled, pointing at what was little more than a lava lamp, “if there really is a blurple, the lord keeps it hidden for a reason.”
“What up n bombs?” Chang asked, coming in, “how was the funeral?  Awesome!”
“BEN!”
“No Chang, our friend’s funeral was not awesome!” Jeff growled, “it was deeply sad.  You know.  Funeral style!”
“Excuse me, I thought you guys hated Pierce!”
Everyone’s eyes went wide and they started arguing over one another, about how they really didn’t hate Pierce, but that he was merely an annoyance. 
“We did not hate Pierce.”
“Craziness!”
“Alright, are you sure you guys aren’t just doing the ‘respect the dead’ jig a lig?” he asked. 
Everyone started to talk about how they didn’t really hate him yet again, and you felt yourself going into a little bit of a trance, staring at the lava lamp.  You couldn’t help but to reach for Jeff’s hand as the tears worked their way up into your eyes.
You were broken from your thoughts about how fragile life was when a lawyer burst into the room, saying something about Jeff being right. 
“Who the hell are you?”
“My name is Mr. Stone!”
“That’s easy for you to say!” Troy remarked, “and for us to say!”
“I work for Mr. Hawthorne,” Stone commented dryly, “he stated in his will that no matter how natural the appearance of the circumstances of his death, a private inquest should be conducted to determine whether any one of you, his former study group, has murdered him!”
The group began to gasp, as a few scientists walked in with some technology.
“To be cleared, each of you will submit to a polygraph test!”
“Jeff, what’s going on?” you asked, confusion crossing your features.
“I don’t know…but it will be okay, Tawney.”
Tumblr media
“Tawney…did you know that I always looked at you like a daughter?” Stone asked, “Annie may have been my favorite, but you were beyond that.  You were like family!  Even after the rest of the group broke up the only people that kept in touch with me were you and Troy.  The two of you cared.  And that’s why I’m including you in my estate.  While I’m leaving Troy my shares of Hawthorne Wipes, I’m leaving you with what Gilbert had chosen to share with me.  My estate is worth an additional fourteen point three million dollars.”
You looked at Jeff, and he seemed even more speechless than when Stone told him about Troy’s bequeathment. 
“Jeff?”
“What the hell just happened?”
“I think Pierce just made me and Troy millionaires…”
“Oh my god…”
“There’s just one thing you have to do!” Stone commented.  Your brow went up as you looked at him, “Pierce had stated in his letter, that you and Jeff were in a relationship with one another.”
“We are…” you said slowly, not knowing at all where the line of questioning was going, “What of it?”
“Pierce noted that after the Christmas party, which he missed last year, you seemed different…”
You paled. 
You knew where it was going.
“Something’s different about you!”
“It’s not,” you lied, giving Pierce a fake smile, “I just haven’t seen you since break…that’s all.”
“No…I know it’s not your hair…and you didn’t do anything drastic like get new boobs…”
“Well, gee.  Thanks Pierce.”
“Your glowing, Tawney.  That’s what I’m trying to tell you.”
You felt a little bit of pride growing in the pit of your stomach as you looked at him, “really?”
He nodded, “yes.  So what is it?  What happened?”
You bit your lip and pulled your ring from the pocket of your jeans, before  slipping it over your finger, “Jeff proposed to me Christmas eve…”
His eyes went wide, before he wrapped you up in a hug, “oh Tawney, that’s great news.  But you know Jeff’s gay, right?”
“He’s not gay, Pierce…” you laughed, gently shoving the older man away from you, “and you can’t tell anyone.”
“You and him didn’t tell the group?”
“No…and we don’t plan on it until things are more settled,” you admitted, “Jeff and I talked about it, and we’re not going to announce anything until after he’s graduated and settled in at the firm he wants to set up.  We’re thinking about announcing it next Christmas, and then setting a date then.”
“Well I’m proud of you…I’m proud of the both of you.”
“Thank you, Pierce.”
“And I’m even prouder that I’m the only one that knows."
"About that...I was wondering,” you said slowly, "would-would you be the one to walk me down the aisle when we do set a date? I mean, if you don't want to, it's fine. It's just-my dad died a few years agao and-"
"I would be honored!" he smiled, holding his arm out to you.
“Tawney?”
“What’s Stone talking about?”
“Nothing,” you lied, trying to cover your tracks, “I-“
“She’s lying!”
“Thanks, lab coat!” you grumbled, turning your attention back towards the lawyer, “What about it?”
“Mr. Hawthorne wanted to let you know that you and Mr. Winger shouldn’t be ashamed of your relationship.”
“We’re not.  We just-“
“He wanted you, for your inheritance, to tell the group…”
"Tell us what?"
"What did Pierce know?" Annie asked, leaning forward.
“He wants it to be a very particular gift…” he hinted. 
You bit your lip as Stone slid you an envelope.  On the front of it was your name.  The rest of the group looked at you curiously while you opened it.  Inside, was a small note from Pierce.
Tawney,
If you’re reading this, then I’m gone, and you’ve met my lawyer, Stone.  But what you didn’t know, is that I’m planning on leaving you my estate that’s worth the same amount that I’m going to be leaving Troy with my share of the Hawthorne Wipes Company. 
But I wanted to leave you this, because you mean something to me.  While Troy has the heart of a hero, you have the heart of someone who was very dear to me.  A daughter...if you're reading this before you and Jeff got married, I'm sorry I couldn't walk you down the aisle. But I wanted to remind you of something.
You’re kind.  Always looking out for the group.  And you are always willing to help any of us…regardless of whatever we’ve done. 
For that, I want to leave you my estate, as a gift of sorts. 
A wedding gift.
I know that you grew up very poor once your mom got out of the military, and she raised you and your brothers in a cabin in the woods.  I know that your father had a hard time getting work because of the language barrier and when he passed, it was hard on you.  But I know, more than anything, that despite your families struggles, you always stuck together.
And that carried over through your friendship with me. 
I want you to never have to worry again.  At least about money. 
I’m not leaving you sperm like I left the others. 
Like I have said, you’re like a daughter to me.  And that would be incest.  That’s gross!  Please make sure that Jeff doesn’t drink his, and that Britta uses hers responsibly. 
Pierce Hawthorne
You laughed at the last few lines, though the tears were running down your face.  From beside you, Jeff put a hand on your arm, “hey…you okay?”
“It’s a wedding gift!” you whimpered, sniffling as you looked at your fiancé, “he doesn’t want us to have to worry!”
Jeff’s jaw dropped.
“A wedding gift?”
You turned to look at a very shocked study group.  Reaching into your pocket, you slipped your engagement ring on your finger and held it up to them, “we were going to wait to tell everyone…but Jeff proposed to me last Christmas…only Pierce knew. I'd asked him to walk me down the aisle when we set a date...”

ships: hawk/trap/oliver, hawk/bj, obiwan/anakin, troy/abed
i have so much to say lol
hawk/trap/oliver - yessssssssssss
What made you ship it?
specifically that scene that i believe you've giffed of hawkeye and trapper having their actual first fight ever over real estate of oliver's shoulder.
What are your favorite things about the ship?
it's really fucking hot. there are so many configurations about it i love too: oliver and trapper running a train over hawkeye and/or spitroasting him, oliver topping both hawkeye and trapper, oliver topping trapper while hawkeye lies around naked eating grapes and shouting pointers at trapper while he takes it from behind. like every cringe position you find in M/F/F porn but with these three.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
oliver is the hottest one of the three and it's not even close.
hawk/bj - also yessss, but with fewer 's's
What made you ship it?
I don't know what the right term to use is but they have.. good negative chemistry? i like to watch them fight. the best beejhawk episodes to me are the ones where they're fighting.
What are your favorite things about the ship?
it's messed up. angst and melancholy potentials off the charts. sometimes i'm in the mood for a bad ending. i'll never be as into that as i am into eventual happy endings, which i don't like for them, but sometimes i need some weird-bad vibes and they are that for me.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
all of my opinions are them are unpopular but i guess the big one that feeds all the other ones is that i think they're fundamentally incompatible as romantic partners.
obiwan/anakin - weird one, i appreciate the fanart for it, but they are too squicky for me to engage with in any other way.
Why don’t you ship it?
i don't mind saying it: it's because obiwan is in his mid-20s when he meets anakin as a child. i've seen episode i so many times and i just can't distance myself mentally from that little kid enough to where it isn't weird for me to read about them fucking, especially if it's fluffy or framed positively.
What would have made you like it?
literally if i'd never seen episode 1 i'd be all over obikin. the above reason i have for not being able to ship them is a technicality. the chemistry between hayden christensen and ewan mcgregor is undeniable, their rivalry is compelling, the possibilities for corruption kink are endless. i am annoyed that i'm squicked by them.
Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?
the above answer sums that up pretty well.
troy/abed
What made you ship it?
to me they're the flagship couple on community. their on-screen relationship only 'ends' because donald glover left the show.
What are your favorite things about the ship?
so many great gay moments on the show. "abed, i love you" "i know" - that happens to be one of my favourite episodes of the show for other reasons, but that was a bonus.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
aheh... i'm into more toxic explorations of their relationship. to me, it's right there. there are quite a few moments where i perceive abed to be doing things that actively hurt troy. troy's not perfect either, i think his indulgence of abed's every whim could be potentially bad for abed too.
i get why people like a fluffier version of their relationship, but the show has repeatedly dealt with the issue of the group being codependent upon one another and to me troy and abed are an extreme version of that. there's even an episode that deals directly with the fact that they "spend too much time together" but iirc it doesn't actually change much.
i have to say though, that for ~political~ reasons i do want them to have their gay kiss and happily-ever-after because it seems enough people are on board with that that it could actually happen. some may disagree but i think in this case, the value of having two racialized men on a mainstream show that debuted in 2009 get together is more important to me than seeing the aspects of their relationship that i personally find more interesting be made canon. i can read about the bad version of them in a fanfic.

Part 3 Noose Race
Guest are pouring in and drinks are being poured. Tommy and Adam greet and welcome the guest all looking dapper in their best tux and eye candy on their arms. Most are regulars of the annual event, some come from all parts of the world and there are a few newbies that are welcomed and given a tour of the mansion by a red-tie young men. Newbies are shown an introductory video and sign a confidentiality agreement- Betting and hanging people is still illegal in the state. Newbies are not expected to volunteer their names for the race but they sometimes do after being brought into the group by a sponsor that may have told them more than they should have. Most come to satisfy the fetish of watching a hot guy hang. Many come for the party or gambling which also includes card and dice games that go on in side rooms.
After a nice shower together Cory and Jared make the fine adjustments to their hair and tux before they go down to meet with the guest. Cory straightens Jared's royal blue tie on his neck even though it was perfect the way it was.
Cory :" This looks so hot on you."
Jared smiles " Thanks, don't think that you have to get one too."
Cory's smile always accompanied by his cute dimples makes him look so cute as he says :" It's not up to me." Jared kisses his cheek and says "This is going to be scary fun."
They pick the perfect time to go down and make a fanciful entrance. Most of the guest have arrived and an announcement is made to welcome Jared as last year's winner of the noose race. A few regular guest and some new participants gather to meet him. Adam and Tommy watch as their young protégés show off.
Tommy : "I don't think you have to worry that Cory will hang he's too cute. Most want to see a more masculine guy hang."
Adam :"Yeah, but his abs and body would look hot dancing in air."
Tommy :"Maybe in a couple of years."
Derrick, the hot young man they met last year joins Cory and Jared.
Jared :" I was hoping you would be here."
Derrick :" I have been lucky so far, I'm reluctant to try again this year. I used the money for college and now that I graduated I really don't need to take a chance."
Cory :" Forget the money, the antisapation is such a rush. And did you really come just to watch?"
Derrick :" Ha, We'll see after a few more drinks."
Jared :" I just wanted to see you shirtless again."
Derrick grins - his grin is the definitions difference from a smile and a grin -and drinks the last of his drink tilting his head back exposing his strong handsome throat. Videos of various hangings and music plays as most of the guest arrive and get into the party spirit. A handsome young man approaches Jared, Cory and Derrick.
" Hi, I'm Troy - in his Australian accent - I really enjoyed watching you guys last year and I am considering putting my name in this time, any advice?"
Jared :" Wow, you have a strong looking neck. And you weigh what 125 pounds?"
Troy :" About that plus or minus a pound of two. I lift and for my short stature I lift more than guys much bigger than me. My upper body is right where I like it."
Derrek :"Where I like it too."
Troy smiles " Thanks. This is my second time here and I am almost where I have the nerve to put my name in."
Jared :" we won't tell you to do it, I'm already going to worry about this guy (holding Cory's shoulder) but there's an exhibit that might give you an idea if it's something that you might want to try."
Troy :" Yes, the new gallows. I was thinking about that but it's very expensive and the list is long. I wouldn't be able to try it before be required time to submit your name."
Cory :"Let me see if I can get you a discount and an early drop time."
They go over the Adam.
Cory :" That hot Aussie there is thinking of putting in his name, I think that if he had a ride on the gallows it may tilt him towards going for it."
Adam nods his head :" Wow! He would get lots of bets, let's get him a ride."
Adam goes to Troy :" Let's get you a ride on the gallows, then you can decide if you want to put your name in, you're just the kind of guy we are looking for."
They all go to the exhibit and Adam gets him a early slot for a drop. He gets Andy, one of the hangmen for the exhibit to give him the ride when his turn comes up. Andy is the most popular of the four hangmen for obvious reasons. He's a fit and beautiful blond with a gymnasts body in the hangmans robe and hood.
Andy tells Adam :" I will give him a good ride."
They all stand and watch a few guys take a ride on the gallows. Then they call Troy over to a screened off area. Jared ask if he can observe.
Andy :" It's just prep so he can have anyone he wants."
Troy :" Then you all can come ."
Derrick, Cory and Jared follow him behind the screen. They ask Troy to remove his shirt and stand on a scale. Their eyes open wide when they sees his shirtless body.
Derrick :" Wow, can I touch?"
Jared slaps his hand as he reaches out.
Andy :" Since Adam ordered your drop you have the option of wearing what you want. If you want to simulate the final hour here I can get you the speedos they would have you wear. "
All the guys eagerly agree he should wear the speedos - then Troy asked to get them. Stripes and puts on the speedos. His dick already hard is stuffed into the speedo. Andy offers him a condom - "Some guys don't want to soil themselves."
Derrick :" Want some help with that?"
With his hands shaking a bit he looks at Derrick "Really?" Derrick reaches out his hand for the condom and Troy hands it to him. Derrick bites open the pack and takes it out. He gets down on one knee and gently pulls his speedo down exposing his fully hard dick. Cory and Jared watch with their mouths and eyes wide open. As Derrick carefully puts the condom on him it makes Troy's abs tighten making both Cory and Jared swoon with an "Ahhhhh"
Troy blushes and the veins in his neck bulge.
Andy:" That was a first. So hot."
He ducks out to see where they were in the queue. Troy pulls up his speedos as Derrick stands up.
Cory :" They decided to give out condoms after I went for a ride in the trial runs. Good thing I had a change of clothes. "
Troy :" Ha, Derrick almost made it a good reason and I didn't even have a noose around my neck."
Andy returns with two other guys. They take Troy's arms and tie his hands behind his back. Andy looks at the other guys :"it's starting, you guys should find a good place to watch."
They leave Troy with "Good luck, enjoy the ride and we'll see you after you drop."
They attach the harness to him and get him ready. Then walk him out to the steps of the gallows. Troy slows his walk when the noose is in full view just a few feet away. They move him over the trap door. Andy takes the noose and places it over his head. Troy's awesome chiseled abs betray his calm demeanor showing that he is breathing fast. Andy makes the official announcements of a legal hanging.
Finally :"Do you have anything you want to say?"
Troy shakes his head No. Andy adjusts the noose above his apple and makes it snug. By now a large crowd gathers to watch this beautiful body waiting to drop. Andy steps to the lever and waits for the signal. A dramatic pause is to let those watching enjoy the view of him with his hands bound behind his back and noose snug around his neck and handsome hangman standing next to him. Monitors thought out the mansion show it making most stop in their tracks to watch. Troy swallows hard making the rope bounce up and down causing an audible grown from the crowd. Andy reaches for the lever and gives it a firm pull. The door opens under Troy's feet with a loud bang and he falls through. The thin bungy cords are barely noticeable making it look like Troy is only suspended by the noose which holds a third of his weight. Troy's awesome body reacts like a real hanging making every muscle tense as he kicks and twist for the 30 second ride. The crowd watching cheers and whistles for the show he puts on making Tommy realize that he should have charged a fee to watch. Andy rushes down to stand under the gallows as they bring his body down. They quickly release the bungy cords and have him lie on a gurney like a dead body would after being hanged. Andy removed the noose and they carry him back behind the screen so they can do a quick exam and then he can get out of the harness and back into his clothes. After a quick check up he catches his breath and thanked Andy and his crew and went to find his new buddies. Still shirtless he sees them waiting for him and cannot hide the smile and excitement from the ride he just had. They give him high fives and pats on the back. Guys that watched from the gallery came to tell him thanks and good show.
Troy :" That was it I'm putting in my name for the big show. The condom came in handy, I have to go to a bathroom and take it off and clean up a little."
Derrick smiles :" Damn, I almost needed one watching you kick and twist."
Jared :" You can use the bathroom in our room upstairs."
Troy :" Thanks, you guys stayed here last night?
Cory :" Nice perk for knowing one of the founders."
They all go up to Cory's room. A lavish room you would expect in a mansion. Troy uses the bathroom as the guys relax and talk about Troy's hanging and body.
Derrick :" I am so glad he's going to put his name in he's so hot."
Jared :" Well only second to you. And does that mean you are too?"
Derricks famous grin : "Yes, I will also."
Troy comes out and joins the guys and ask Derrick for a drink from his glass. Derrick is happy to share with him. Troy takes a big drink :" Damn, I needed that after that ride. It was so real it's amazing!"
Derrick reaches and touched the red line still visble on his neck.
Jared :" You can watch a video of it down stairs."
Cory :" Actually you can watch it right here on this monitor. Here, let me put it on."
Jared gets out some minies from the rooms mini-bar as they get ready to watch. Derrick fills his glass and shares with Troy even though there are clean glasses there. They stand just feet from the TV to watch. Troy is transfixed on watching every detail of his ride. " Damm, look at my abs! I thought I was acting calm and cool ."
Jared :" Yeah, we have been looking at your abs."
Derrick :" It's a wonder that your not busting through that condom."
Troy is startled when the door opens and he falls through - they laugh as he jumped. He watches until he sees Andy take off the noose. " Wow, that was awesome! Again!. You can't even see the bungee cords. It felt so real."
Jared :" No, the Real thing feels 'Real' ! - I know!"
They watch Troy hang a couple more times then the phone rings and Cory answers it. " Ok, we will be right down."
He hangs up " We have 30 minutes to sign the release forms and get our golden noose."
They make their way down and sign in except Jared. They take off their shirts and tie and put on the Golden Noose to show they are in the Race.
Cory looks at Jared with his dimples in full view but no smile and says :"Wish me luck."
Jared gives Cory a hug and kisses his neck :" I don't know if I can watch if you are hanged tonight."
Cory :" You just have to be there after."
Derrick and Troy join them and go back out to the party and find the others that already had put in their names. They grab a drink and listen as they announce that all ten are registered and the betting windows are open. Their names and faces show up on the monitors all around the mansion even on the outdoor patio near the bar. Odds for Troy and Derrick go down right away making it more likely one of them will hang. They meet up with two others with a gold noose around their necks. After some pleasentries they continue to mingle and Cory catches up with Adam.
Adam :" You look really hot tonight, are you having a good time?"
Cory :" YES! We are really having a great time. Derrick and Troy are hitting it off and after Troy went for the ride you set up, they both decided to put their names in the race."
Adam :" Yes. I saw. Thanks for helping with that he's going to make us a lot of money tonight. And Jared looks handsome with the blue tie. "
Cory :" Yes, and when he takes it off tonight in my room."
Adam smiles " Go and have a great time, I have to check on the numbers coming in to the betting room."
The party roars on and the first name off the list is called "Randy I have $1,000 in chips for you."
The handsome young man runs up on the platform to get his chips, happy that his neck won't be in the noose dangling in front of him.
Derrick :" I don't know, there is something about this time when I don't 'Need' the money."
Cory :" I have to admit that the first time I saw you I wanted to see you hang. Now that I know you better I wish anyone else but you."
Derrick :" Even you?"
Cory :" Yeah, even me."
Derrick :" Thanks Cory that's sweet of you to say."
Jared to Derrick :" I still want to see you hang."
Derrick smiles " Thanks, I think. But hey $25 Gs. I can still find a way to play with that."
Cory :" $35 Gs - they upped it. The house made near a million last year."
Another name is called "Terry, come and get $2,000 in chips."
Cory :" What ever I get I'm cashing in right away."
They walk towards to the gallows exhibit when they run into Eric the Hangman. They introduce Troy to him.
Eric :" Hey I hope you are having a good time, sometimes guys get caught up in the antisapation and worry more than having a good time."
Troy :" I’m glad I met these guys they are making it very enjoyable."
Eric :" Good, and awesome that we have an Ausie with us."
Adam walks up and listens in. After he gets the guys together.
Adam :" All these guys paid a lot of money to see you, take selfies, have a drink, or just ask questions about what the antisapation is like. Have a good time but mingle a little more. Hit the gaming rooms and patio. Wish them luck for their bets.
They all nod and go throughout the mansion. They occasionally stop to watch the monitors of past hangings when they know who it was. After an hour three more names are called. In fourty minutes that last three will be taken into custody and preped. Ryan, one of the three finalist last year, gos to Cory.
Ryan :" Damn, last year you and I just missed dancing in air."
Cory :" Hey Ryan you look great. Do you think you and will be up there again this time?"
Ryan :" I have been lucky the last four years, I don't want to jinx it."
Troy :" Wow, this is your fifth time?"
Ryan :" Last year was the closes I came."
Twenty minutes pass since the last name was called. The announcement of the sixth :"Kevin ".
He goes and gets his chips for $6,000.
Jared and Cory go outside to the courtyard near the fire pit. Dimly lit in a beautiful romantic setting Jared hold Cory and gives him a long kiss. After Cory sees the concern on Jared's face.
Cory :"Even if I hang you know that I will be ok."
Jared :" I know. Do you want me to watch if..."
Cory :" I don't know why but Yes. I want to able to see you out there."
Jared :"Ok, I'll be there."
They hold each other and slow dance until they hear the announcement calling all partisapantst in.
Guards with the red ties start to get in position, locking doors and standing by to take the final three for prep. The faces on those left are serious and a bit strained. They force a smile for those that want a selfie or want to wish them luck.
Announcer :" After the next name is called the last three will be taken back and will return with Eric the Hangman on the center stage. But 'Cory' won't be joining them, Cory come and get your chips.
Cory jumps up and down then hugs Jared.
Jared :"Quick go get your chips."
Cory runs up on to the stage and waves as they hand him his chips. As he comes down he sees Derrick, Ryan and Troy being escorted to the prep room. They let Cory come in to retrieve his shirt and change as the others are stripping to get the speedos on. Cory puts on his shirt and says " Jared and I will be here after the drop."
All three are bare naked and hard and give him a polite wave.
They look at each other as they slip their speedos. They are given instructions as guards get their hands behind their back one at a time to tie their hands and spray their bodies with coconut oil. Beads of sweat builds on their bodies. They hear the announcer as he gets the crowd fired up. The crowd and music thunder through the wall. Eric comes in to talk to the them. "I will make it as painless as I can which ever one of you hang. I have never had one not stand up in less than an hour. This will all be over in less than twenty minutes. I will see you out there."
The announcer :" Here is the Hangman for tonight's event 'Hangman Eric!"
The crowd cheers and whistles and the kiltted hangman comes up on the stage. Then one at a time they announce and bring out the last three. "Ryan was in the running last year if you remember and pressed his luck now five times in a row !"
Eric shows off Ryan as he parades him around the stage for all to see.
Announcer :" Next, from Australia is Troy! This is his first time he entered the Race for the Noose! Let's welcome Troy!"
He is paraded like Ryan.
Announcer :" Our final contestant is Derrick pressing his luck for the fourth time. No one has ever made it passed five times so Ryan and Derrick are near the statistics of being chosen to dance tonight."
They look up to the monitors and see themselves on stage with the noose moved to the edge of the stage. The bright lights make their bodies glisten. Fear seem to make Troy struggle each time he swallows. His adamsapple being very prominent makes his struggle obvious. And again his abs and sweat betray the cool calm look.
Announcer :" Ok, the betting windows for this race are now closing in ten minutes.
The three look at each other and fidget and take a deep breath. They wish each other good luck.
Announcer :" The betting windows now closed. The crown stirs and the three ready themselves.
"Troy will get $8000 in chips. Let's thank Troy for letting us enjoy watching beautiful body in tonight's Race for the Noose. Betting windows are now open for the last race tonight."
They un-tie his hands and Eric the Hangman gives him his sack of chips. He parades Troy again and shows Troy the noose he nearly was hanged with. He pats both Ryan and Derrick on the shoulders :" I'll be back there after." Guards walk him down to the salon where he can clean up and put his shirt back on. Cory and Jared goes to help him dry off and comfort him after his close call with the noose.
Troy :" Did I look like a scared sissy up there?"
Cory wipes sweat off Troy's abs and shoulders. "No, No. You all looked very dignified. Besides they really loved looking at your body reacting to the announcements. You gave them a good show."
Troy :" I'm worried about Derrick. He has been very nice to me tonight."
Cory :" Where is your sponsor? Why isn't he here?"
Troy :" He didn't come this year, he was disappointed I didn't put my name in last year. I told him I probably wouldn't this year either. But after the ride on the gallows and meeting you guys I'm glad I did."
Troy puts on his shirt and buttons it up. Cory puts his gold noose tie around his neck and makes it snug around his collar.
Cory :" Want to go back out there? I'm sure Derrick would like to see your face in the crowd. We can stand inside the railing where the winners will stand so he will see you right away."
Troy nods and they both walk out to see the last name chosen for tonight. As they come out Troy immediately sees Derrick on stage. Derrick looks down and grins when he sees him. Troy reads his lips " I'll be alright".
Music blaring as guys make their final bets. The red ties service guys wipe the excess sweat from Ryan and Derricks body. Eric had stepped off to get into his hood and gloves and remove his shirt and tie. Ryan and Derrick make small talk and agree with each other not to feel bad for each other after the next name is called. The big clock is nearing the time to close the betting windows. The announcer returns to the stage. He walks around the stage and ask them both if they are ready. They nod and straighten up.
Announcer as he reads the clock: "The betting windows are now closed. The next name will be for the one that will wear the noose in tonight's race."
He stands in between them as a red-tie young man hands him a note. Derrick looks at Troy and smiles. The crowd cheering and music blaring then silence. A mild drum roll "Derrick will wear tonight's noose!"
Ryan tilts his head back and takes a deep breath of relief. In the crowd you hear cheers and whistles along with disappointed growns from those that lost the bet. They untie Ryan's hands and he immediately goes to Derrick and kisses him on the cheek. Derrick stands with dignity and maybe a little defiant. They keep Ryan on the stage as they recall Eric. Now shirtless and in his kilt he returns to a cheering crowd. He shakes Ryan's hand and hands him his sack of chips. He parades Ryan around the stage and tells Ryan as he shows him the noose "maybe next year." Ryan smiles and shrugs his shoulders "Maybe."
They escort Ryan off the stage with the clock showing just 12 minutes to midnight. Derrick sees Troy with tears in its eyes. He gives Troy a half smile. Eric puts his hands on Derricks awesome shoulder "You have seen a few of these, just like the others you will pass out and wake up in the recovery room with your friends near by. Do you have any questions?"
Derrick :"No, I'm ready."
Eric goes to the noose and makes small adjustments as the winners take their position inside the railing closest to side where Derrick will hang.
Troy :"Should I stay? I didn't think I would ever be emotional like this. I don't know if I can watch without crying. I don't want Derrick to feel bad if he sees me like that."
Jared :" I know it made me feel better that Cory was out there when Ithe noose was around my neck. I felt like I wasn't alone."
Jared :" Cory stay with Troy I'm going to check on Ryan."
By then Ryan has his shirt back on. Jared takes the gold tie and puts it around his collar.
Ryan :"Thanks, I'm glad it's this gold noose and not the one out there. I hope Derrick will be alright."
Jared :" We will all come back to check on him after."
A red-tie guy "They are making the final adjustments."
Jared :" Let's go out there I'm sure he would like to see our support."
They go out with just four minutes left. Lights and camera are positioned and the crowd ready to watch the final event. Ryan hugs Cory and Troy.
Ryan to Troy :" He's going to be OK. Look at that strong neck. We'll see him up and walking in just a few minutes. Watch."
Troy nods and wipes a tear from his cheek.
With three minutes Eric brings Derrick close to the edge of the stage and noose. He stands straight and stoic. His big, lean cowboy body does not show any sign of fear or regret. Even as Eric takes the noose and places it over his head. The noose sits on his big shoulders making the crowd go wild. Derrick looks around until he finds Troy. He looks at him until Eric adjusts the noose above his adamsapple under his strong square jaw. But he looks back again at Troy and gives him a smile and wink. The slack in the rope is taken up. One last adjustment of the noose and Eric steps to the side of Derrick. 30 seconds left for the crowd to feast on the view. Veins in Derricks neck bulge and his face slightly red. His chest looks like he just benched 300 pounds. He swallows one last time making the rope bounce. The crowd counts down the last ten seconds, cheering, music blasting. 3...2...1.
Derrick feels the stage moves then his feet leave the stage and barley falls but a few inches as the rope stretches and tightens around his neck adding to the length of the rope. Not heard over the crowd is the grunt he makes as the noose squeezes his neck. He kicks but seems to be in control of his body. The stage moves completely out of the way as his body slowly spins. Hands clinched behind his back and abs trying to get him a breath. The coils of the noose moves as it tightens now nearly on the side of his neck pushing his head to the side. After 20 seconds his feet still search for support, drool rolls down his chin. At 45 seconds it is obvious that he has past out but his body still reacting to the trauma. His tongue peeks out of the corner of his mouth. Troy puts his head on Corys shoulder.
Cory :" Hold on, I will tell you when it's over."
At 55 seconds his body slowly goes limp except for a few twitches in his feet. The rope buried in the side of his neck as the noose slowly squeezes tighter sliding more to the side making certain now that the blood supply to his brain has stopped. His limp body slowly spins as the last few second count down. Eric stand below ready to catch his body. Finally one minute is up. His body quickly lowered and noose loosened and cut off from the rest of the rope. They lay his sweaty limp body on to the gurney and the cameras follow them as he is taken to recovery.
Ryan holds his bag of chips with a look of guilt holding a bag of 30 pieces of silver.
Cory :"Troy, it's over. He's on his way to recovery. Let's give them a few minutes then we will go in."
His hanging is watched in a loop on the monitors sometimes in slow motion.
After a few minutes Adam comes out to brief his friends.
"He's on oxygen and breathing on his own. They didn't have to give him CPR and his body seems to be reacting well. Give them a few minutes to examine him and sit him up and we can all go in to see him. Don't be surprised, the noose will still be around his neck -It has to be carefully removed to avoid scaring. Best after about 20 minutes when swelling goes down and muscles relax. It's loose enough so it's not choking him. A green light illuminates over the door indicating the medical crew is finished and cleaning crew can go in. Adam heards the guys to the recovery room. Troy approaches him first and find him with his eyes closed. His body and hair still soaked in sweat. He asked a staffer if he can have a towel and help clean him up. They hand him a small towel and he gently wipes the dying drool on his cheek. Derrick opens his eyes and sees Troy over him and gives him a smile. Troy is still bothered by the noose snug around his neck even though Adam told him. "It looks like it's still too tight." A sad look on Troy's face as he touches the noose and feel his neck. The head of the clean up crew tells Troy to give them room to roll him on his side to un-tie his hands. Derricks abs tighten in pain of being moved. But his hands are quickly freed and he is rolled back. Red line on his wrists after being tied for nearly an hour. He reaches for his neck and his hand is quickly stopped. The coils are near the back and side of his neck making him turn his head slightly to the side. He swallows hard making the rope bounce and his face grimace in pain. Finally they watch as they sit him up and tilt his head back to remove the noose. They open the noose and slowly peel it off his skin leaving a bright red line. The skin dimpled from the rope with a long groove around his neck. They ask Troy if he wants to apply the lotion to prevent a deep scare. Derrick smiles and tilts his head back. Troy takes pleasure as his fingers spread the lotion on his throat hearing Derrick softly moans. He gently spreads it around his neck then wipes his hands. They hand the noose over to Adam and Adam offers it to Troy "do you want to hold this for him?"
Tory takes the noose and holds it as if it was fragile,
Ryan says "That was almost mine and yours."
Troy :" I would have hanged for him if they let me."
Derrick slowly rocks his head 'No'.
They let the crew clean his body and wipe his cum from his speedos. Not able to talk yet he welcomes Troy in for a hug. Troy kisses his cheek. The other guys come in and pat and rock his big shoulders. He motions Troy to hand him his noose. He takes the noose and looks at Ryan. His smile says "this was almost yours."
Ryan :"maybe next year."
Adam tells Derrick "There is a room for you here tonight, after they take you out for the crowd we will take you up there. There is no reason to change back into your cloths.
He looks at Troy and nods.
Troy :"I will stay with you if that's what you want."
Derrick smiles.

I cannot believe I wrote so much for Steddie this year! I’d never written for Stranger Things but the fourth season opened the floodgates!
11. A favorite excerpt from your writing
I’m going to do a title instead with We both have cigarettes and cufflinks because of the randomness of the story behind it. I was at a memorial for work and overheard a snippet of two old men’s conversation. That line was the only thing I caught and I thought it fit Steddie
12. How did you grow as a writer this year
I cursed more which is a big step for me :) it’s not in my daily vocab but it was fun lol
13. How do you hope to grow next year
I hope to have more time and inspiration. The media I’ve been consuming recently hasn’t given me much to work with.
14. Who was your greatest positive influence as a writer (beta, another writer, cheerleader?)
Like I said, anyone who comments or engages in any way with my writing makes me so happy I cry! I never expect to get 10 hits let alone kudos or comments. The fandom community has been more than I could ever hope for and I love you all <3
15. Anything from real life show up in your writing
I saw a shirt at the mall that blew me away so much I used it Psyched!
16. New wisdom you can share with others
You can always get back into writing, even if you’ve taken a break. People will be there to cheer you on. And never be afraid to self promote!
17. Projects you’re looking forward to in the new year
I have a Spicy Six (Stranger Things) in the works that’s been knocking around for a few months. Just need that last burst of motivation. A couple of Shus ideas in the mix as well. One angsty, one pure tooth rotting fluff. Aside from that, I have no idea but I can’t wait to see where inspiration will strike

Anyone who sees this and wants to join in :)

fuck you it's another one of these. community characters and black mirror episodes because YOU KNOW WHAT? seaons 2,3, and 4 were good
Abed is USS Callister - OUGH my favorite episode. the crew being stuck would really resonate with Abed, both because of the bullying he's faced and also because he's stuck trying to figure out how to fix himself, how to make people like him; the characters in this episode are stuck being punished for things they don't understand, are treated as inhuman, and were forced to exist just to be tormented and they most of all just want out. when they finally do get out, it parallels Abed finding happiness at Greendale and away from his father and his bullies. Abed wouldn't stop thinking about "I wanted to say all that... but you threw my son out of an airlock, so fuck you to death" for WEEKS (just like me. rip Walton)
Troy is striking vipers - IM SO FUNNY this is the funniest episode in the entire show and if you haven't seen it i can't spoil it because watching it for the first time is a SURREAL experience. my brother described this episode as "what if gay?" and i think that's what 90% of Troy fans also think about 90% of the time so it couldn't be anything other than striking vipers im NOT SORRY. if you want a serious answer to this I guess he could also be playtest because the guy in the episode has the same vibes as Troy but very muted. watch striking vipers it's so funny it will leave you so confused
Annie is San Junipero - lesbians. I wish there was more of an explanation for why Annie would be San Junipero but I'm afraid it is just the lesbians. also, the main girl being unwilling to accept her identity is just SO Annie. I feel like she has this fantasy in her mind that one day she'll get to run off with the girl man of her dreams and life forever in a heaven-like dream state -- she would absolutely go into San Junipero if she could, and she would never admit that, but she would.
Britta is The National Anthem - I also don't have much of an explanation for this one. guy fucks a pig on live television and you're telling me Britta Perry's not all over that? i think she would miss the point until the last few minutes when we get the shots of the crowds watching in horror and the empty streets (which by the way, fucking tore me apart) it kind of reflects her politics being super performative, she wants to do something good and meaningful that makes a difference and a statement, but she would never go through with it. she would think she wants to watch a politician fuck a pig because it's 'what he deserves' and is 'an up-yours to the system', but then she's watching it for hours and suddenly it's not funny anymore.
Shirley is nosedive - this one is just pulling from the show. the meow meow beenz episode is the same as nosedive beat by beat. it speaks to her holier-than-thou attitude, literally just watch the meow meow beenz episode it's the same
Jeff is White Christmas - i could go on for so long. first of all, John Hamm just has winger-if-he-was-a-better-person vibes, and this character accentuates that perfectly. I don't even know how to describe it, if you've seen it, you get it. I also think that the ending could be one of Jeff's biggest fears: ostracization. he's constantly trying to both fit in and make himself a distinct individual, but being so distinct that everyone sees him as a red mass and stays away from him would be terrifying, that man could not handle that kind of embarrassment
