dating george clarke...
Tumblr media
he's such a sweetheart fr 😘
buys you flowers n all 🌷
you're constantly featured in his youtube videos and the useless hotline
all of his friends love you 🙌
but grace, she becomes your long lost soulmate 🫶
you're literally inseparable, gets to the point where george has to drag you away
jealous bf 😔
living with george and his...interesting roommates is definitely something
jk jk arthur and alex love you fr 😘
if you're an aspiring singer, you and arthur definitely swap and criticize each other's lyrics
go play 'you're not a god' while you're at it!
alex is the type of guy to listen to 'queens of the stone age' for sure or 'foo fighters'
plays his music way too loud so when you and george are cuddling for example, george has to shout out to him to get him to turn it down lmao 😭
george is most definitely an amazing chef
brings you a cup of tea every morning 🍵
actually banging though
because you're born in london and have a thick accent, george loves to mock it while you imitate his posh bristol accent
you two are literally so in love
grace or max will take photos of him just gazing at you
"look at you! you big softie"
saw it on someone else's account but it's so true 😭😭, if you're influencer then you wouldn't really bring him to events as much bc he'd just stand in the corner with a little drink in his hand
literally wouldn't know anyone there 😭
you and max become really good friends so quick
back to that useless hotline headcanon, like andrew does you'd be on george's lap in the episodes that you're featured in 🫶
max is literally so invested in your relationship
double dates w him and andrew 👫🍜👬
you and george created your own lil podcast called 'honesty's the best policy'
gets so many reviews icl
it's one of the podcasts where you don't have guests, it's just the two of you
"google play 'just the two of us' by bill withers"
you talk about your relationship, you read random reddit stories and give your opinions, talk about upcoming events/the current news
it's a great way for the both of you to become really open towards each other, not that you weren't before
since the start of your relationship, your channel has received so much more attention
you're grateful always 🫶
you and george make a video looking back at your first few videos (you were, in fact, fourteen years of age)
you're embarrassed asf but laughing the whole way though
so glad you got out of your teenage clothing style 😘
was an actual disgrace against humanity
cooking together, reading to each other, cuddling while watching films
literally so comforting
when you meet his family, they LOVE you
can't get enough of your brilliant sense of humour
#comedian
before you moved in together, you two would ride trains to go see each other
running to each other in the station
#movieworthy
his hugs are literally the best, he's so warm it's like hugging a large cat
kinda sounds insulting but i swear it's not 😭
speaking of cats, you have one or two...
okay, when he went to yours for the first time you had four
😭
MILLIE BOBBY BROWN HAS THIRTEEN WHY SHOULDN'T YOU LIVE OUT YOUR DREAMS
they all love him
your oldest cat, sylvester, literally hates strangers for unknown reasons but loves george
he's literally full on purring and you're just like 'wtf??'
do you move all four cats into george, arthur and alex's flat?
yes, yes you do
luckily they all love cats 😍

anything you’ve been watching/reading lately that you��d recommend? i think you have stellar taste in media (aka it often matches mine lol) so am curious! hope you feel better soon 💖
Ummmm yes, love this ask!!! (Also I’m so flattered 🥰 you have great taste as well btw)
Books:
Mo Ryan’s Burn It Down! If you’re at all interested in the entertainment industry and how it all gets made, this is basically required reading
the Succession script books (pricey but personally worth it)
I just finished Jill Gutowitz’s Girls Can Kiss Now and felt very seen, a wee bit too relatable
And I’m currently also reading Ann Patchett’s This is the Story of a Happy Marriage, which is a great book for my fellow writers to read
Substack:
I’m a paid subscriber to Hunter Harris’ Hung Up newsletter and I’ve never once regretted it lol
Gotta shout out Dracula Daily as well as the one podcast I listen to rn, re: Dracula (I listen and read at the same time which is perfect for me lol)
Gilmore Women - a Gilmore Girls recap newsletter that talks about everything wrong with each episode lol. I sped through the first six seasons and now I’m depressed that I’m caught up lol
TV:
Minx s2 - it is on Starz which I know most people don’t have but this season has been EXCELLENT
Only Murders in the Building s3 - it’s like a comfort show for me at this point, despite being about murder it makes me feel so cozy. Nora Ephron vibes
The Bear s2 - everyone’s been talking about it already but I just finished and god it was GOOD
The Sopranos - everyone should be doing # Sopranos Sunday with me!!! It’s so fun!! This show is soooo good, really living up to the hype for me
Acapulco - really cute show, makes me wish I was still on vacation in Mexico
Poker Face - bring back standalone episodes like this!!! Bring back character actors doing incredible guest star roles!!!
The Other Two - just. It was the funniest show on TV. It really was. 30 Rock’s spiritual successor which is pretty much the highest praise I can give it
Movies:
Red Eye - I rewatched it after Oppenheimer and it really holds up. Fun, tight thriller that is only like an hour 20 lol. Also Brian Cox aka Logan Roy is in it (and Jayma Mays my beloved)
Theater Camp - as a Jewish theater kid who went to and/or worked at a summer camp every year of her life from ages 4-20, there was no way I wasn’t gonna like this
Mamma Mia series - obviously everyone on tumblr knows about these already but I made my family watch them with me for the Fourth of July and god if I could live in the world of any movie it’d be this one ❤️
Man Up - very cute & fun British rom com I first discovered in college and rewatched this summer. Everyone has incredible comedic chemistry in this, and Lake Bell & Simon Pegg have great sexual chemistry as well (quite a lot of British faces who were nobodies when this was made who’ve gone on to bigger things - most notably Phoebe Waller-Bridge who’s only in a single scene)
X-Men: First Class - my favorite superhero movie ❤️
Indiana Jones series - I rewatched the whole series and saw the new one in theaters this summer. The first and third are literal masterpieces. Second one is mean spirited and racist. Fourth actually has quite a bit of charm, but then it fell apart in the back half. The new one…woof. Nobody but Steven Spielberg should be allowed to direct Indy movies.
Asteroid City - the longer it’s been since I saw it, the more and more I think it might be Wes’ masterpiece
Past Lives - incredible. But I know you already know that one lol
Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret - perfect, perfect film.
The Other Guys - we need Adam McKay and Will Ferrell to get back together, the fate of studio comedies hangs on this (anyway this movie is hilarious - but also if hell is real Marky Mark is obviously gonna burn for all eternity)
Comedy:
John Mulaney: Baby J - I saw him do this special live when he was touring it and I’m mad he cut the FBI bit but he’s still got it

lotta true crime part 3
pairing: serialkiller!austin x reader
summary: serial killer Austin kidnaps reader who has a podcast about true crime with her friends cus she saw something she shouldn't
trigger warnings: mentions of murder and well death kidnapping Stockholm syndrome.. mentions of various serial killers talk of blood and knifes psychotic thinking... and smut knife kink blood kink huh just filth and my shitty writing
authors note: it's spooky month so here is serial killer Austin on the way to make you all swoon. hehe hehe please i swear i'm sane and honestly if you cant handle this subject please leave it and don't pay any mind to it
It’s been a few weeks since he kidnapped you. But it seemed like you were warming up to him. He was sitting in the kitchen writing something’s down. He had a job a pretty normal one he was a guest speaker at different colleges. 
He looked up when he heard the small footsteps walk around as his phone went of. It was his alarm system he sighed and leaned back in the chair sitting men spread. “Listen y/n! We talked about this you can’t escape .” He called out earning a groan from you. 
“Then can you let me go! Please people are looking I’ve been on TV for the love of god!” He heard you groan as you entered the kitchen. 
He chuckled and shook his head “and then what you’ll go to the police tell them who I am? Can’t have that happening princess”. He said rolling his eyes as he looked up at you as you sat down in a kitchen chair you put down your note book and hummed. 
“Like I said I won’t go to the police please just let me go” he heard you whisper. As he took a deep breath trying to keep his calm the best he could. “Listen little bunny, I like your company it makes me feel less lonely okay? Now have a seat and don’t disturb me baby” he snapped at you. 
He looked up at you as you spoke up again. “Your psycho you k-“ he laughed as he cut you of shaking his head. 
“Wasn’t that clear enough already that I’m psycho” he laughed as he shook his head. 
He watched you huff and roll your eyes as. You open your notebook “can I ask you some question seeing you’re keeping me HOSTAGE” you huffed making him laugh. 
“Okay bunny go on ask ahead” he said and looked up at you admiring how pretty you were he loved the way your hair fall in your face and the way your eyes shined in the moon light.  He loved your smile and the way you whined whenever he woke you up in the morning. 
He loved coming home to you dancing around his kitchen even tho most of the time he’d go for a shower right when he got home he noticed… he noticed every small detail he frowned softly to himself.
He never thought these kind of thoughts or had these kind of feelings towards a girl. Sure he had girlfriends before but all of them would wind up dead because they ended up either being unfaithful or annoy him at some point. 
He got snapped out of his thoughts as you spoke up again. “So…will you tell me about your first victim and how old you were, the way that made you feel?”you asked him. He saw you look at him trough your eyelashes and smiled softly at. himself before nodding his head 
“Yes ofc… uhm well… the first person I killed was my first girlfriend… “ he said and closed his eyes taking himself back to that night. “I was about 17… we were out and uhm she, she cheated on me that night.. I lived on my own so I took her to my house
we fought the whole way home, when we got inside I went into the uh kitchen and she followed me she kept screaming I remember grabbing a hold of the cutlery drawer and she shoved me” he paused and took a deep breath looking up at you staring right back at you making sure to make eye contact. 
“Something in me snapped… I pulled the drawer open and stabbed her … I didn’t stop after I stabbed her I… I enjoyed it I like the thrill you see.” He explained as he watched you write things down. “I hid her body in a dried up well in the woods she was never found again” he said so simply so cold. As if it meant nothing to him 
He watched you look back up at him. “How long did it take before your next kill” you asked voice shaking a bit. He chuckled and shook his head “like 3 years” he admit. “Can’t say I didn’t have the urge I wanted to feel that feeling again…. At first it were just the girls I dated uhm most of them cheated or just pissed me of..” he said smirking. He knew you could tell that he was enjoying it.
“And uhm .. what about your child hood” you asked shyly as he walked up and got behind you. “First of all… sit up straight lil bunny it ain’t polite to slump when your talking to your clients.” He said as he placed his hands on your shoulders. 
He heard you gulp as he felt your body tense up at his touch. He helped you sit up straight as he continued to talk again. “Also talk to your clients with more confidence than you have… don’t let them notice your scared by them.”
He walked back over to his seat after pouring the both of you  something to drink. He looked at you before he started talking again. “ my mom was a drunk she cheated on my dad an awful lot…. She hit me a view times… that I can remember at least so my dad killed her in front of my own eyes “ he said. No emotion whatsoever on his face.
He watched you  nod your head as he let out a sigh. “So that explains the 10 commandments thing…” she said and he let out a soft laugh “such a clever girl.. A+” he said as he watched the gears in your head turn wondering why it all felt so familiar. 
“What do you do for a living…? If I may ask” she asked as she cooked her head to the side like a curios puppy. “I’m a guest speaker at colleges.” He said a smirk appearing on his face as he saw the look of relation on yours. 
“You..! now I remember why I recognized you! You spoke in my class about Dahmer and Gacy! That was you” she let out a proud laugh. And that’s when he felt it… his heart flipped… 
Shit he was in love. 
*a few more weeks later your POV*
It’s been a few weeks now since Austin kidnapped you. And in full honesty you had warmed up to the cold boy. Because he didn’t seem so cold around you.
He seemed normal… sure he was still a serial killer… he hurt people he was ill you knew it you knew all of it. You knew every small detail of his murders and you should be trying to escape. But it was no use he’d find you. 
You were currently standing in the kitchen as the moonlight shined trough the blinds. It was currently 9 pm October 21st 10 more days till Halloween. And you just knew Austin was hyped it was his favorite month and holiday. 
You were wearing a baby blue oversized shirt that obviously wasn’t yours. You were currently working on dinner while Austin was sleeping. He didn’t sleep allot so when he did you let him be not wanting to piss him of or anything.
You were listening to music that you put on. He had a variety of records. He loved Elvis that one one thing you knew he had other artists too. The Beatles Bowie, you could go on for hours on end and well so could he.
He loved taking about his records or the books he read it made him feel more human. You softly sang along to the song not even noticing. You were so lost in your own world that you didn’t even notice the two arms wrapping around your waist pulling you close. 
You felt his head bend down to your ear as he smirked softly pressing a kiss to the side of your head. “Boo” he whispered as you smiled and let out a soft laugh. “Oh no please don’t kill me mr ghost I wanna be in the sequel.” You laughed as he tickled your side and kisses your cheek.
“What are you making baby?” He said as he looked at you. You hummed as you told him whatever you were making. 
Shit shit shit. It was in this moment you realized you were in love with him.
No y/n are you insane you thought to yourself. You can’t be in love with him.. he KIDNAPPED you and even worse HE’S a serial killer. You couldn’t be in love with him but you were you fell so goddamn fast and deeply in love with this man.
Besides the killing… the kidnapping he was overal pretty normal. And honestly he was a serial killer but what’s the worse that could happen to a girl that’s already hurt…
I mean if he’s really as bad as they’d say then you’re cursed.
You got snapped out of your thoughts by Austin his voice. “You okay y/nnnnnnn babyyyyy? You there.”  he said shaking you lightly back and forth. You giggled as you turned around and got a good look at him.
His hair was messy and he wasn’t wearing a shirt.  He wore grey sweats that hang low enough to expose his v lines. You but your lip as his hand moved to your jaw and grabbed it gently. 
You closed your eyes as he leaned in and kissed you tenderly. You kissed back it was a soft but sweet kiss. You melted in his touch as you wrapped your arms around his neck as he grabbed your waist. 
He pulled away after a moment and turned the stove off. He grabbed your hips and leaned his face down toward your ear. “Dance with me?” He asked as he grabbed your hips gently and the two of you started swaying to the music that was playing.
And in this simple moment you hoped no one would ever find the two of you. This was it … this was your life now and honestly you didn’t mind one bit . 
You looked up at Austin ad he smiled at you. You smiled back and played with the hairs in the back of his neck. For a moment it all felt so normal, it felt as if you didn’t fall in love with a serial killer it all felt so so pure and sweet.
He smiled down at you as you leaned back in for another kiss. This one was allot more passionate and a bit harsher. You walked backwards never breaking.  
Your back hit the wall as Austin pinned you against it.  He moved his hands to your hips and lifted you up placing you on the kitchen island. You whimpered softly as Austin pulled away attacking your neck.
He made his way up to your ear as he whispered. “I really really need you bad baby..? That okay I’ll try and be gentle you just … just gotta trust me”. He whispered in your ear. And you nodded your head “I-okay you can do anything m all yours.”you moaned as he pressed himself into you. 
You moaned softly at the friction pulling him closer. He pulled if your shirt leaving you in just your panties as he picked you back up again. 
He walked to his room unlocking the door and throwing you in the bed you’d never seen his room before. It wasn’t anything special he has a knife collection tho.
Austin smirked as he pulled you to him by your ankles you let out a soft yelp. In response he chuckled as he took your panties off. 
He bent his head down in between your thighs as he slowly started to lick your Clit.  You let out a loud moans as your hands made their way to his hair and slowly started to pull it he teased a finger at your entrance.
He slowly pushed his finger in as you let out a shaky breath. He smirked as he heard your breathless moans. You were practically screaming for him at this point.
Austin pulled away the minute you were about to cum. You whined softly as he shook his head “so so impatient for me “ he whispered and grabbed your jaw you nodded desperate as he let out a dry chuckle.
“Beg.. beg for me bunny cmon” he said as he took his sweats and boxers off. You whined desperately as he looked at you “please Aus please I need you please make me yours.”
you begged as you watched him walkover to his collection as he grabbed his favorite knife. “Now you trust me right baby” he said. Climbing back over you, You nodded your head desperate for his touch. 
“Yes yes I promise just please” you whined as he rubbed his tip trough your folds. You let out a moan as he smirked “feels nice doesn’t it baby?.” He said an amused smirk on his face. You noticed he was frowning slightly and before you knew it you were flipped over so he was sitting up with you hovering over him.
He grabbed your hips and looked at you. “Are you sure baby?” He asked and you nodded your head. Austin chuckled and shook his head looking up at you. “Oh no baby use those pretty words of you what happened cats got your tongue” he asked as he opened the knife. You looked him in the eye and nodded again. “Please just please yes I’m sure” you begged as he lowered you into him.
You moaned and threw your head back “f-fuck.” You breathed out as he watched the tears run down your face and you just knew that it was his favorite sight.
He moaned as a he thrusted up into your hips. You’re bouncing and his thrusting colliding as your walls squeezed around him. 
You moaned as you bounced up and down. Austin guiding your hip with one hand and cutting a cut just above your collar bone. It was deep enough to leave a scar or to kill you it was deep enough however to make the blood run down . Your boobs to your stomach onto his. 
You moaned at the feeling as his free hand reached to your throat. you moaned as the tip of his cock. Hit your cervix that set you over the edge and you came with a loud gasp as Austin cut off your air way squeezing your throat. 
He licked some blood of your chest and the taste set him over the edge. As he came into you his hot cum filling you up to the brink. 
You moaned as your collapsed on his chest eyes closing. Ready to pass out exhausted. “My good girl my precious girl” Austin. Whispered into your hair as you nodded your head feeling a slight kiss against it before you drifted off to sleep. 
Laying on top of your murderous boyfriend…

one man type of partner
Jshlatt x reader
Warning: Jake pal is in this but only for like a minute or so I promise now I’m a need y’all to hold in your vomit cuz he flirts with reader for a bit
summary: you, ted a shlatt where just finishing up a chuckle sandwich cas with jack pal as the guest and he ends up making reader really uncomfortable with his cat calls as ted and shlatt are rapping up the cas
I was like every normal podcast with you , Ted and your loving boyfriend schlatt and with a guest you weren’t quite fond of now the guest was the internet star known for being to creator of prime, Jake pal
You agreed with ted that you’d put on a fake face and pretend to suck up to him so and promised you’d never have to go through it again
you were sat next to schlatt on the outside of the table like you usually are ted and schlatt were asking jake questions and sharing stories
Now it was in the middle of the into recording when jack turns to you and asks you a really flirtatious question about your love life and ask if you were seeing anyone
You calmly told him “yes I am in fact seeing someone, it’s schlatt” you said motioning to him with a serious look on your face
why would he even ask that is so fucking obvious with how close Shlatt hold you to him his grip now tighten on you as a sign that he was getting fed up with Jake BS
jack of course didn’t notice and soon all most surprised, you were now at the end of the podcast you left the recording room and went to go stand off some were and wait for schlatt to finish up so you could go home and take a well deserved nap together
but as you where waiting Jake came out to head home himself but instead of continuing his walk out he stopped by you and started talking with you
he asked if you were really into men like shlatt and all you could do was laugh at him “ Yes unlike most men who lie cheat and fake schlatt Ioves me and sure he cube an ass so times but I love him
you said hoping he’d take that as targeting him “ wo wo wo doll face calm down” schlatt butted into your heated scolding section with Jake it end up with you apologizing bitterly to him
you’ll never forget the look on his face tho the look of per fear when the quiet shy girl snapped on him he nervously excepted you apology and continued his way out
“ Christ babe you chowed him up what he do this ti-” he “asked” before you cut him of with a soft passionate kiss To his lips
“ he was being a dick i could stand there and listen you his BS” you hugged on to him tightly “ I love you jay” “love you to doll”

hello yes I am prolpting the WRATH thing because your post about henry/jason from yesterday made me wsnt to know ALL THE THINGS OMG
Henry/Jason | The Final Girls | Angst with a Happy Ending | FR15 | 1,616 words Henry and Jason meet, face to face, for the first time in thirty-four years since their childhood romance went up in flames.
Normally, the tip-tap of the keys of his typewriter would soothe Henry. He would lose himself inside his fictional world, playing with figures he could control. Sometimes they would surprise him but, ultimately, they obeyed his every whim. Reverend Michaels should be outlining the mystery with David, the charming and suave head of the local village’s theatrical society. Someone had been found murdered in the churchyard and there was a crime afoot. But Henry just sat, slumped in his chair, as he stared at the blank page. It was difficult to write his own mystery when one lingered around him. Not just that pesky business with the tennis shoes and the mysterious cassette tapes. No. It was Jason.
Always Jason.
Yesterday was the first time they had seen each other face to face since 1989. The events at the Englund Theatre hadn’t counted, not really – Jason had barely registered anything as Henry had cradled the shell-shocked man close while police took away the bodies of his murdered cast mates. A small thrill had run through Henry, yesterday, seeing the coat he had draped along Jason’s shoulders all those years ago still draped along his lithe frame. Of course, Henry had kept up with Jason’s career. He’d watched every one of his films – even the truly awful Bonecrunch sequels – and most of his guest star appearances both in the US and the UK. His short-lived podcast had been delightful. Henry had listened to it as he’d walked along the Venice boardwalk, hearing the cadence of a man he had loved so dearly, so deeply thrum in his ears.
Now he was here. In Henry’s new life. Looking to stay.
He turned back to the blank page. The good Reverend would have to wait another day, it seemed. Sighing, Henry threaded out the sheet of paper and placed it in the recycling – tomorrow he would start afresh. Henry stood; began collecting his things. Then two raps on the door. “Olly, love, give me five minutes and then we can grab a drink. I think I need one.”
The door opened. Not Olly. “Sorry to disappoint.” Jason. “Can I—can we talk?”
“Alright.”
The last time they had stood face to face had been in the lobby of Ipswich Crown Court. Both of them had been dressed in ill-fitting suits; both weary, older than their years. Henry didn’t know how to hold himself in front of the man Jason had become. He tugged his hands at the hem of his undone waistcoat; black gloves hiding his scars from view. The bracelet Jason had given him was on his wrist. Had he spotted it? It appeared not. He, too, fussed with his appearance; uncertain, unsure. Henry’s coat had long been discarded. Threadbare jeans, a t-shirt from Last Known Survivor’s ’03 tour,black nails. Still weary. Still older than their years. Henry waited for Jason to speak. He had said the last harsh, biting word all those years ago. It only seemed fitting that he begin now.
“You didn’t tell her. Bernie. You didn’t tell her who I am.” Jason paused. “Why?”
Henry didn’t meet Jason’s eye. Instead, he toyed with a black thread at the fraying edge of his left glove. “Here, we, uh, we don’t tell each other’s stories. What happens to us…it belongs to us. It was not my place. Did you—”
“—I couldn’t very well not tell her, could I?” Jason ran two hands through his dark hair, longer than it had been when they had been at school together. “Can you honestly imagine me producing a podcast about survivors and their stories? Me? You know who I am. You know what—”
“—your father did.”
Jason’s eyes went wide. “Oh, it’s my father now, is it? Because the last time we saw each other, Henry, you said I was just like him. That you didn’t feel safe with me – that you expected one day I’d…that I would hurt you.” His voice caught on the last word, like it had done all those years ago. “You said that to me, Henry.”
“I know.” Henry finally met his gaze as the guilt washed through him. As soon as those words had left his mouth, he had regretted them. They had played in full surround sound, in the darkest moments of his life, over the past thirty-four years. The words stung, like an open wound, as Jason repeated them, now; the consonants and vowels spat at his feet. There was no excuse. “I’m sorry.”
“You’re sorry. Do you know what those words did to me? My father murdered six teenagers—”
“—including my best friend! Let’s not forget, darling, that you told me I could have saved Ben. Do you know what those words did to me?” Henry drew in on himself, putting some distance between himself and Jason. He sat on the corner of his desk, hand gripping the wrist that held Jason’s bracelet. It was a cheap thing, bought at some Essex seaside town. The elastic had broken twice; he’d had to replace it. Yet he traced the curves of the black beads as his breathing calmed. “I wanted to hurt you – and I did. So, you hurt me back. You broke my heart and I…I reacted poorly.”
Henry was tired of guilt. Of grief. He was tired of being haunted by words he had said so long ago – and he was tired of hurting the man he loved. So, Henry took a step forward. And another. Then another. He touched Jason’s wrist with the tips of his fingers. “I’m sorry.”
Jason drew in his own, calming breath. The fight fled the rigid line of his frame and he exhaled harshly. “I know you are. I do. And I am, too, you know. Sorry. About all of it. Lying to you; keeping who my father was from you. What I said about Ben—” He sighed. “I was madly in love with you. Crazy in love. And the moment you said those words I knew you didn’t love me back and I just…lashed out. So, yes. I’m sorry too.”
They didn’t draw closer. Didn’t come together in an embrace or hold each other through their forgiveness. Instead, Henry’s hand fell away and Jason stole to the small sofa in the corner of Henry’s office. He took a seat, bony elbows pressed to the ridge of his knees, body slumped forward. Henry busied himself with two glasses, the pitcher of water, and a bottle of apple and blackcurrant squash he kept in a desk drawer. Henry then joined Jason at the sofa, olive branch in hand. Jason lifted his head and grinned – the first time that Henry had seen him smile in over thirty years – at the familiar shade of juice.
“Still can’t stomach tea then, Hen.”
“No. Or coffee. I can just about manage it if it’s loaded with milk and sugar and syrup. Still three sugars and a dollop of milk?” Jason nodded. The smile remained. Henry took up position beside him, leaning back against the sofa. He observed the cords of Jason’s neck, the muscles shifting under his t-shirt as he settled back. You are still the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Henry tucked that thought away. They had put a quarter of a decade quarrel to bed. After tonight, he’d never see him again. No need to indulge in thoughts of what might have been. What could have been. “So, what’s next for you? Now that you’re not doing the podcast.”
“I’m doing the podcast.”
Henry’s eyebrows lifted into his hairline. “You-you are?”
“It appears so.I told Bernie who I was. Told her what my father had done. She told me it wasn’t an issue, that I belonged here. Especially after what happened at the Englund.” Jason took a mouthful of juice. “I feel like I’ve just joined a cult.”
“We prefer family.” Henry beamed. “But I’m not surprised. I’ve known Bernie over twenty years. Stubborn is putting it politely. And if she wants you here, she feels like she – or we – can help.”
Jason nodded once, twice. “Not surprised you two are close. She said that your word was all she needed. What exactly did you say to her?”
Henry paused. Sat, admired the ripples of burgundy liquid through the curvature of the glass. And then: “I said that you were a good man. That I trusted you implicitly. And it’s true.”
Their eyes met. Henry felt the floor of his office give out underneath him; he had never quite prepared for Jason McCallister staring at him so openly, so full of…emotion. Love, it had been then. Henry wasn’t sure what it was, now. Fondness, perhaps, for the days that they had once had, roaming through the Suffolk countryside as two halves of the same whole. Now the world had brought them back together. There was too much between them for them ever to be in love once again. But there was the hope of friendship. Of new beginnings.
“I should go. Got an early start; planning, arranging interviews. I could…” Jason shrugged. “…walk you home?”
Henry didn’t mean to laugh. “Darling, I live in Venice. A little further than the twenty-minute walk between your village and mine.” His fingers found Jason’s hand in the gap between the two sofa cushions. He squeezed. “But I appreciate the offer. I’ll see you tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow then.”
An empty glass of apple and blackcurrant squash was returned, and Jason fled Henry’s office into the darkening halls of The Final Girl’s offices. Henry did not immediately head home. Instead, he lingered, savouring the promise of tomorrow and the memory of yesterday.

I am sitting at a baseball game with James. I forgot that they said we were doing this today. I'm having a nice time but also I am really sleepy. Today was a pretty good day but I didn't sleep great and I just really wanted to be home.
I woke up and tried stretching and it helped a little. I got dressed and James would drive me to camp. They had a bagel for me. And it was a pretty nice drive in. We listened to a podcast and had big laughs about a game where you had to guess the host of a podcast based on the guests and we were having a great time.
We got to camp at 9 and James helped me get stuff out of the car. And then they left me at the office. Heather was just getting there but we both still had to wait because she left her office key at home. Opps.
So we talked about her trip to Zion national park last week. I got sure would love to go see that. Seems so unreal. And we also talked about pewter casting at camp. I would send her some stuff about it later.
Once Elizabeth got there she told me what needed to be done but also told me don't try to do everything because we had so much staff today. She was correct I would have just tried to do it alone and exhausted myself.
When I got outside Celia was pulling up so I asked if she just wanted to drive up to the low ropes course. And that was perfect. She was like yes but also my car is full of baby mice?? I did not care but I was like. Slightly concerned she is driving a mouse van.
We got up the low ropes and worked together to get that set out. She worked on the ladder and I untangled the ropes.
While we were finishing that up Sarah and Dachelle pulled up in the gator to get ground elements stuff to take over to the tipi feild. And then we headed over there to help untangle all of that.
It was kind of a slow wait. The bus was late. But it was fine. Once it did come I met it outside and helped direct traffic a bit until Elizabeth came over and we figured out what was up.
This was a sleepover group so they unloaded and went up to the cabins. I helped direct there too. And got to meet a few teachers that hadn't been there last week. Because this was the same school, just the highschool and not the middle school. And I recognized some of them from last year. And that was nice.
We got them all on the feild and they decided to do free choice to make their groups. Which would have been fine but then they did that again after lunch? So then the groups were all mismatched and there was no reason for that. It was so stupid and stressed everyone out.
But thankfully the programs all went super well. Me and Celia started with ground elements and would have low ropes the rest of the day. And it was lot of fun honestly. Having the larger groups allowed us to really do the programs more thoroughly. And when they didn't want to do it anymore I read a few of their fortunes. I had a big long chat with Celia about how neither of us believe in cards or magic or anything but card reading is so much for like. Story telling reasons. Interpreting and basically improve on the fly. It's just fun.
Lunch was quiet. Me and Celia ate on the porch. I paid some bills and did some accounting. It's half way through the head and I wanted to make some projections about the rest of it. And if things go the way I hope we should be in a pretty good place.
Like I said though they wanted to do free choice again in the afternoon. Which of course was super confusing and then we were all sort of thrown off. But it was fine in the end and we figured it out. I was a little stressed about it though and felt a little annoyed with the person who organized it but it would work out.
In the last group we did have one student who had already done low ropes. He requested we do the team wall though so we made that happen for him. And then got into low ropes. And while two people did fall, overall it was fun and everyone did great.
I checked in with the group about finishing early so they would have time to change for the pool. And that worked out great. Celia ran the swing while I watched the part of the group that was finished the program and Sarah worked on taking the ropes down.
We were very efficient.
Once the group left I headed to the field to put away ground elements for tomorrow. And then to the office to get the Gator key to go collect water coolers. Celia would come with me and we drove all around to find them. Finding Tony had dumped one out, which was only annoying because we were supposed to combine them to take to the pool. But whatever, with the others we made one full one. Dropped it off at the pool and then drove to the lodge to drop off the empty ones.
We got back to the office and of course then Elizabeth asked us to take the trash out at the lodge. Thankfully James was just pulling up to come get me so they drove us over there but it was already done so we were able to bust drop Celia off at her car and then me and James went home.
When we got back we ran into Nick in the hall. He just bought a house on 4 acres and is slowly moving and I'm so happy for him. It was also just really nice to see him.
I was happy to get out of my work clothes. I took a shower. I was coated in dust and it really made me feel better but I was still pretty tired. We laid in bed for a while. But at 530 we got ready to get out of there to go to the baseball game.
We walked to the lightrail station. Someone yelled out the window to ask if James was Justin Tucker, a sports person, and we got round trip tickets so we could get back easy later.
Taking the lightrail was nice. And we got here and got tickets no problem. James got us fries and they got themselves chicken tenders. Eventually we would also get cotton candy. And I've been having fun. The other team has 1 run and we have 7, which is very embarrassing for them. I've been enjoying people watching. And I'm tired and my earrings are hurting but I am happy.
Tomorrow I have an early day but we will have a short day as well. Ending after noon. So I'll come home and hopefully get some cleaning done. I hope tomorrow is fun. I hope we win. But even if we dont I am still glad we came!!!
Goodnight everyone!!

strip sessions: black book
podcast: strip sessions (with gareth hayes) host: gareth hayes guest: mitch harris (founder of black book)
Tumblr media
“What I’m trying to say is… Black Book was intended for, you know, guys, basically. Like, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard girls talk about sharing fuckboys, you know?” “Nah, man.” “Not openly, not… ever. Feels kinda weird, honestly, how big of a topic Black Book’s become. I was just tired of keeping an actual book and asked a couple of guys I know to help me make a simple enough app to make my life easier,” he chuckled, “turns out my friends told their friends and then one day I woke up only to find out Black Book was among the top paid apps on App Store. So, you know, been upgrading it a lot since then…upping the price, obviously. I do what I can to earn big bucks, not just for me – for everyone I work with, so… yeah, feels pretty damn good.” “Dude, I don’t even care how it looks, as long as it works. I mean, I’ve fucked a lotta 5-star girls on that app and I gotta say, best fucking sex of my life.” “I love that, yeah, that’s what makes it so good… and also, you know, we got a lot of hate adding those stars, mostly from… yeah, you know who.” “C’mon, man, we all know… let’s fucking talk about that goddamn elephant. Hell, maybe she’s listening as we speak. We love you Gemma,” he chortled, “yeah, anyway, we all wanna know… that dope-ass cartoon, it’s her, no?” “Okay-okay, first of all, I have nothing against Gamani, alright? I respect her. She’s a boss bitch, a damn feisty one too,” he hummed, “that being said, she’s-uhm, she’s made things more difficult than it has to be, for sure. And, no – it’s not her, I basically just asked a buddy of mine to draw a sexy, half-naked woman, you know, Grand Theft Auto-like shit. So he did, and it turned out awesome.” “Yeah right, we all know you’re lying – they have a tattoo on the exact same body part, for fuck’s sake.” “Yeah, it’s still a no,” he snickered, "like, Gemma’s one thing but like, your ex, Jackie – she wrote this article a year ago, saying my app was sexist… how some use my app for revenge porn, you know… she went as far as calling me a misogynist at some point. I–” “Woah, what? Hold up, she said that?” “Yeah, man, yeah… that honestly was the hardest shit, cause people believed it, for like, months… it was the worst, man, I kinda hid for a while there.” “That’s fucked up.” “It was, but it’s all good now – most people know I’m a nice guy. I honestly don’t even use the app nowadays. I like, got what I need, I live the best life and I do whatever the fuck I want.” “Hells yes. I’m glad, man, I’m glad. Hey, so, you up for some calls?” “Yeah, man… been practicing my therapy voice for weeks.” They both laughed. “Alright then, let’s roll.”

BSD AND THEIR PODCASTS !
Tumblr media
— modern!au . dazai’s part is a joke (kinda) . swearing . no proofreading, so possible grammatical errors !
fyodor : true crime podcast ft. nikolai
even in an alternative universe fyodor loves crime. maybe not committing it, but talking about it in a podcast counts too! he started off alone, however only a few people listened to him, because even though the cases he was talking about were interesting,, well let’s just say the way he presented them wasn’t. fyodor isn’t the type of person who would throw in lighthearted or even funny comments while talking about horrible, blood freezing crimes. however he did know someone who definitely was the type to do so, thus nikolai joined him to make the atmosphere more lively and intriguing for listeners. after they began working together the podcast actually got quite a lot attention!
Tumblr media
dazai : alpha male podcasts
you know those guys who gather around a table in a studio which probably has a ‘NO GIRLS ALLOWED!!’ sign on it’s door and talk about the hardships of being a true alpha male? yeah, dazai definitely would be one of them. he would drag akutagawa into it too. he probably tried persuading atsushi to join them too, however he respectfully declined the offer because what the fuck. the episodes usually pass with dazai rambling and akutagawa occasionally saying a ‘yes’ or ‘agreed’. unsurprisingly no one listens to them, but hey! at least they’re having fun!
Tumblr media
atsushi : random shit go brr type of podcasts
atsushi’s podcast is just wholesome: a bunch of storytimes, chats about topics that interest him at the moment and sometimes even music or movie recommendations. he couldn’t really decide what type of podcast he wanted to do, so he just went with his gut and posted whatever he felt like. but one thing never changed: he always has a surprise guest. kyouka could easily be the second host of the podcast with how many times she has appeared on it already. but other ada members like tanizaki, yosano, dazai, ranpo and even kunikida have taken part in it too. even though the podcast isn’t as known as fyodor and nikolai’s, it has a fairly big audience too, because people love hearing atsushi interact with his friends!

HI ALYSSA!!! 😃 What you wrote for grayson was beyond BEAUTIFUL. can you write something where they’re in a new relationship and she gets introduced on the podcast??? 🥰
i’m gonna try really hard to not go overboard this time 😭
The atmosphere was lighthearted and playful. Since 7am to the early afternoon, you’ve been extremely nervous and fidgety. Grayson recognized the early signs of an anxiety attack and made to bring out one of your sensory toys, the ones that make the popping and clicking sound. He brought you to a secluded corner of the house, away from everyone and all the noise, and blocked them with his body until you calmed down. The scent of him, the overall height of him, the gruffness of his voice, and the soft teddy bear vibes Grayson was giving off had you feeling more at ease.
“What if… What if they don’t like me, Gray? I mean, I’m not like the other girls you’ve hooked up with before. I’m not some insta baddie or a bad bitch. I’m me and they’re gonna hate it,” you quietly rambled to him while frantically popping and clicking your sensory toy, all the while keeping your eyes on your hand movements. Grayson allowed you to rant, not stepping in until you were fully finished. “I mean, Kris is different because she’s perfect for Ethan and she never really got any hate - not that I know of. She’s like a soft baddie, I’m not even 6% of a baddie.” This made Grayson smile as he crossed his arms and stared down at you. “Like, I’m not Tyson and it just… sucks feeling like this.”
“Look at me,” he told you, his voice low enough for only you both to hear. When you nervously peer up at him, no longer using your sensory toy, he places his large hands on your warm cheeks, thumbs gently stroking back and forth. “You’re not Tyson and that’s why I’m in love with you. You think I care about insta baddies? You’re the fucking queen, you hear me?” When you start looking down again, he quickly lifts your head. “Aye, I’m not done talking to you. You’re nothing like those girls and that’s what made me fall for you. Your kind soul, pretty eyes, and good vibes made me feel so comfortable that I always wanted to be around you 24/7. Ask Kris.” He smiles at the sound of your soft giggle and the way your eyes crinkled at the corners. “If I love with all my heart, the people who support us and want us to be happy will love you too.”
“Yo,” Ethan called out from across the room. “You ready?” He was looking at you, more so worried about your reputation than Grayson’s. “There’s no going back.” His tone was teasing and his eyes held no malice. You looked up at Grayson and he gave you a small nod and grin, as if telling you, ‘You got this.’ When you gave Ethan an enthusiastic nod, he excitedly claps his hands. “Lets do this shit!”
When you followed them to the room where they do their podcasts, you felt that anxious wave crash over you again. Grayson, being the extremely observant man he is, made sure you had your sensory toy in your hands as he rubbed your arms gently. He pressed soft kisses to your cheeks that felt like butterfly wings fluttering against your skin because of his growing beard. Kristina shot you a thumbs up from her spot in the kitchen as she ate some avocado toast. You felt more at ease as Grayson and Ethan shot playful jokes at each other back and forth. You took your spot beside Grayson on the swivel chair and took the headphones he hands to you. After setting up the mics and cameras, you got yours comfortable and sat a foot or two away from Grayson so that they’re able to do their intro without you in the frame.
“It’s now or never,” you quietly mumbled to yourself.
“Good evening, everybody!” Grayson enthusiastically speaks into the mic. “Welcome back to Deeper with the Dolan Twins. I’m one of your hosts, Grayson.”
“And I’m your other host, Ethan. If it’s a little harder to tell who is who, I wore white today and Grayson wore black,” Ethan states confidently. “Grayson is always wearing his greasy ass trucker hat.”
“It’s not greasy, shut up.” Grayson sucked his teeth and rolled his eyes, sending a look to the side as you covered your mouth to stifle your laugh. “So, today we are doing things a little bit differently.” You sat up straighter in your seat. “As all of you know, we had Kristina on our podcast to furthermore introduce herself as Ethan’s girlfriend.”
“And today,” Ethan rubbed his hands excitedly. “We have a very, very special guest. We are introducing… drum roll, please…” Grayson quickly tapped his fingers against the table. “Grayson’s very own girlfriend, Y/N!”
Grayson was quick to pull your chair closer to his as you held the mic and laughed quietly as they both cheered loud and clear. “This is my very lovely and very beautiful girlfriend, Y/N. Say hello to the audience.”
“Um… hello,” you awkwardly said, causing Ethan to snort. “Shut up, E! I’m nervous.” You shyly covered your face, groaning when Grayson pulled your hands away and placed his hand between yours. You immediately started playing with his fingers; a sense of calm washing over you. “Well as nervous as I am, I am extremely excited to be a guest on your podcast and I hope it receives good reactions.”
“On a lighter note, lets dive deeper into how the relationship between you and Gray… developed,” Ethan said and got comfortable in his seat.
“You tell the short story and I’ll tell the long story,” you told Grayson and lightly patted his shoulder while looking at him with such love-filled eyes that even Ethan can see from across the large table.
Grayson cleared his throat and never once move his hand from between yours. “Well we met a few years ago and started fully dating, I’d say, almost a year ago. And we met through Kristina because you’ve been really good friends story.”
“Okay, guys, people that are listening and watching,” Ethan interrupted. “Remember to get very comfortable because this story is going to be a fucking rollercoaster of emotions.”
“Oh god,” you facepalmed. “Now, for the long story. I’ve been really close friends with Kris since our childhood. I moved to Australia at a young age with my dad after my mom passed away, and we were just two peas in a pod. The way you and Grayson are with each other is the exact same way Kris and I are with each other.” Grayson leans his chin on his hand and never once looks away from you. His attention was all on you… and your lips. “And then, back in 2017 is when she started telling me about Ethan. And she had mentioned that you had a younger brother-”
“Younger by, like, 20 minutes,” Grayson interrupted with a scoff.
“Younger brother,” you emphasized a little louder, causing both twins to laugh. “And she had asked Ethan stuff about Grayson, to which she transferred back to me. So, she was like a bird messenger.” You giggled as you said that, causing a big grin to form on Grayson’s lips. “And then no sooner after that, we started talking more frequently and getting to know each other. And it just.. grew after that.”
“Didn’t Gray ghost you?” Ethan suddenly asked. Grayson groans loud beside you and covers his face embarrassingly. “I remember you freaking the fuck out because of it.”
“Yes, the motherfucker did ghost me for a few weeks. Wanna explain why, hm?” You teasingly asked him with a raise of your brows. Grayson blushed fiercely.
“So within the first three months of us talking, that was when I fully started developing strong feelings for you. And at the time, I had been fucked over so many times by so many people and was never really able to hold a long relationship. And I partially blamed myself for that because I tend to.. rush things, if that makes sense. I’m a romantic and when I fall for someone, I fall hard.” As Grayson passionately spoke and opened up his feelings, your eyes went from his eyes to his lips to his hands and back and forth. The way he spoke with his hands made you hide a smile by biting your lip. “And I was terrified because I automatically assumed that I was gonna fuck it up one way or another. The only way for me to cope was to push my feelings aside, and it just effected us both so negatively.”
“Yeah, from past experiences, it can be really difficult for someone to come to terms with the true emotions they felt. I was the same way with Kristina, you know. It felt like I had to walk around eggshells out of fear of fucking up the one thing that was good for me.” You and Grayson nodded in agreement. “I remember when we came to Australia after what happened and Gray was running back and forth, just writing what he wanted to say to you and he almost cried because his pencil broke.”
You quickly looked at Grayson. “Really?” You weren’t teasing him, you were shocked. Your voice was soft and you had a pout on your lips that he kissed away. “Stop, you’re gonna make me cry.”
“Nooooo!” Grayson yelled out and threw an arm around your shoulder to pull you into his side.
“That’s so sweet!” You whined and pouted some more. “I never knew that, Gray. I know that in the past, there were some hardships that we were able to overcome and the way we communicated with each other, it just made our relationship stronger.”
The conversation ranged from topic to topic. Your life growing up, the death of your mother, your dad’s rescue farm in Australia, your college degree, and some moments between you and Grayson. You felt so comfortable and carefree that Grayson noticed a changed. You laughed more and spoke louder. You playfully bantered with Ethan and provided your own insight on serious topics regarding the negative effects of social media and about mental health. He’s so sure in his heart that people who love and support him and Ethan are gonna love you the same.

we’re too stupid ~ the vlog squad
word count: 1885
request?: yes!
@iawaythrown​  “May I ask for a vlog squad x popular youtube reader
The reader has their own very popular youtube channel/podcast like a scientific/space podcast. (Like a Vsauce\GameTheory channel) The vlog squad and the reader fan base (somehow) always wants them to collab. One day David says "It won't happen because the reader probably doesn't like us." This ends up getting everyone on the podcast.”
description: when their favorite youtubers show interest in being on their podcast, they jump at the chance to invite them on
pairing: vlog squad x gender neutral!reader
warnings: swearing
masterlist (one, two)
Tumblr media
“You know what I’ve been listening to a lot lately?” Scotty asked David on the newest vlog David had uploaded. You were watching the vlog on your TV while you prepared to upload the newest episode of your podcast. You had a drink half raised to your lips when Scott responded to his own question, “The Spaced Out podcast.”
Your drink nearly slipped from your hand at the mention of your podcast. You were sure you had imagined it, so you went back and repeated the part just to be sure. The name of your podcast slipped from Scott’s lips again and you had to pause the video to scream with excitement.
When you placed the video again, David spoke next. “Oh wait, is that the one about space and shit? You played it for me before.”
“Yeah! Man, it’s so interesting. I could honestly listen to the host talk about space all day,” Scott said.
“He keeps bringing it up during the Scottcast, too,” Jeff commented. “I’m starting to think he’d rather co-host that podcast instead of our own.”
“Man, I’d love to be on that podcast!”
You could hardly contain your excitement. Your favorite YouTubers knew who you were?! They knew your podcast?! You had to be dreaming, you were sure of it.
“There’s no way they’d ever have us on the podcast,” David was saying. “We’re too stupid and immature, they’d probably hate us.”
“Speak for yourself!” Zane, dressed in some weird costume for a bit, called, causing the boys to laugh together.
This gave you an idea. You put your laptop aside and opened Instagram on your phone. You searched the name “David Dobrik” and went to his DMs.
~~~~~~
A week later, your podcasting room was filled with 11 extra people than there normally was. The room was only small with a handful of seats, so a lot of your guests were squeezed in together or basically sat on one another. No one seemed to mind, though. Every single person in the room was super excited to be there.
“What’s up all my space geeks? Welcome back to another episode of The Spaced Out podcast, the podcast where we discuss super nerdy space things,” you started with your usual intro. “Today’s episode is a little different, though, as today I am joined by not one, not two, not even three, but eleven special guests. You heard me right, eleven. Special guests, wanna say hi?”
All eleven of your guests rang out with a chorus of, “Hello!”s at the one time, making it all come out as just a shouting mess. You laughed and waved a hand to silence them.
“In case you had trouble understanding what they were saying,” you said, “my guests today are David, Scotty, Toddy, Zane, Erin, Carly, Natalie, Heath, Mariah, Corinna, and Jeff, better known as a large chunk of YouTube’s biggest vlogging group: The Vlog Squad!”
The Vlog Squad cheered at their introduction as you just clapped your hands.
“Can I just say,” Heath said once the noise started to die down, “that I am impressed with how fast you said our names and how easy it was. You didn’t even stutter once.”
“I’ll be honest, when David told me exactly who was coming I prepared myself for this,” you admitted. “I’ve never had so many guests on the show before. Actually, I don’t know if I’ve ever had any guests at all. I don’t really know anyone in my real life that’s as interested in space and science as I am.”
“To be fair, none of us are, either,” Jeff joked, causing the room to laugh.
“Yeah, you picked the wrong people to be on your podcast,” Corinna added.
“You don’t have to have any sort of interest to be on the podcast, really. As long as you don’t mind me talking about my nerdy space obsession every now and then anyone is welcome on the podcast.”
Your heart was beating so fast you were sure everyone else could hear it. You were shocked that you were managing to remain so calm in that moment. Your favorite YouTubers were sitting right there in front of you, being guests on your podcast, and somehow you were acting as though they were just friends that you had convinced to come on the podcast.
“Is there any cool space facts you can share with us to get the ball rolling?” David asked.
“Dude, I’ve made over 300 episodes of this podcast that is literally all about space, you gotta narrow down your parameters there,” you told him.
“What’s your favorite space fact then?”
You thought for a moment, going through all the little facts you had in your mind. There was so much you could share with them that you really didn’t know where to start.
“Okay,” you said finally, “I have one. I think David will like this cause we all know he’s made of money: there is a planet that is called 55 Cancri e. It is over twice the size of Earth and it is potentially made of diamonds.”
They all gasped and made comments of astonishment at the same time at this.
“Like, literally made of diamonds?” Corinna asked.
“It’s hard to know for sure. It’s roughly 41 lightyears away so it’s not exactly easy to reach, but they think it’s made of graphite and diamonds,” you explained. “My favorite fact, and one that’s a little scary, is that it’s actually completely silent in space. Like not a single sound, because atmospheres around planets are what contain the soundwaves to make noise.”
“I told you,” David said, turning to face Scott. “We’re too stupid to be on this podcast.”
You all laughed together. “You guys aren’t stupid! I was just fascinated with space as a child and my parents let me feed into that fascination. They always bought me books about space and brought me to visit certain space centers. I was that kid that always said she was gonna grow up and be an astronaut. Instead, I just talk about them on the internet.”
Everything was going so well. You were getting to know your guests and they kept urging you to tell them facts and stories about space. You knew a lot of what you were telling them you had talked about on the podcast before, so devoted listeners probably wouldn’t be too interested in a lot of what you had to say in that episode, but you didn’t mind too much. You just loved to see the looks of astonishment on everyone’s faces as you continued to tell them fact after fact.
When you came to a segment you did in the podcast in which you would read messages from fans, you decided to your guests choose which messages to read and respond to. David took the tablet you used for this first and read through the thousands of messages you received between uploading your most recent episode and recording the current one.
“Are you going to talk about the new 4K pictures of Mars?” he read.
“Oh my God, yes!” you responded. “That will be next episode. I haven’t looked at them all yet because I wanna have a live reaction to them, but I did see one picture and it looks absolutely stunning.”
“It blew my mind how it just looked like a desert here,” Carly commented. “Mars is a lot more like Earth than we think. Sucks that we’ll never be able to live there or anything.”
“I don’t think we’ll never be able to live there, but I don’t think it’ll happen in our lifetimes,” you commented. “But that’s a whole other thing, let’s move on from that.”
“What has been your favorite space related story of the past year?” Natalie read the message she had picked.
“I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but it’s definitely one that I was very interested in reading: a star just vanished in 2020,” you responded. “Apparently that’s something that can just happen, stars can just suddenly disappear and no one knows where they went. This star from the Kinman dwarf galaxy that shined almost brighter than the sun just vanished between 2011 and 2020, and they have no explanation for it. That story stuck with me the most cause I just find it funny that a star that bright just vanished and no one can figure out where it went.”
They continued reading you messages for a while before passing your tablet back to you.
“While I wish I could sit here with you guys and talk about space and your vlogs forever, unfortunately we are running out of time,” you said. “I want to thank the Vlog Squad again for joining me on this episode, and I hope I didn’t bore you guys to death with my stories and facts.”
“Not at all!” David spoke. “I can’t speak for everyone, but I really enjoyed myself. Listening to you talk was really interesting.”
The rest of the group agreed. You tried not to blush from all their kind words.
“I always wanna thank our sponsors again. As always I appreciate them supporting my show, and of course I want you guys, the listeners. Your constant support for the show means so much to me. If you wanna hear more fun facts about space that you’ll never use in live, follow me on my social media. If you’re not already following the podcast, follow the podcast! I upload episodes every Friday, and if you want to be involved in the show be sure to send me your space related messages and maybe I’ll read them out on the next episode. Have a good weekend, little space geek out!”
You ended the recording and the group almost cheered for you. You smiled and stood to thank them again for coming on the show. You were shocked when Corinna pulled you into a hug, which caused the rest of the group to hug you one by one.
“This was the most fun I think I’ve ever had,” Erin commented. “Would you be open to having more guests on the show? I’d love to come back and to just listen to you talk for a full hour.”
The rest of the squad agreed. You really didn’t think you could feel any more excited or on cloud nine, but they kept surprising you.
“I would definitely be open to having guests again,” you replied. “If you guys ever wanna be on the show again, just send me a DM. I’d love to have you!”
“We’d love to have you on the vlogs sometime, too, if you’d be open for that,” David told you.
There they go again, making you feel like you had passed cloud nine and now were on a completely different planet with excitement.
“Y-Yeah!” you managed. “Of course, I’d love that!”
After some more small talk, you showed the group out and thanked them again for coming. Once you were sure they were gone and unable to see you, you began jumping for joy and exclaiming with excitement. You couldn’t believe it! You had just hosted a podcast with your favorite people, and they asked you to join them for filming sometime?!
“This is the best day of my life!”

There is a light at the end of the tunnel
Hello, Stuck. Sorry, I don’t know your real name.
I wrote this long ass post to bring some light into the fandom and between the CSs, and I hope you can post it? I’m new in the Tumblr world, but not in the 5H fandom. I don’t quite know how it works yet and, for the moment, I only know your blog and those of @emisonme, @karlaswine, @sun-to-my-luna, @underthatimpression, and @mentesimploria because, in one way or another, you’re all connected to each other. I just wanted to tell you guys how much I appreciate every single one of you, the passion you have, and the hope you keep alive among those who, like me, love the girls. Also, the patience you guys have, especially against the haters, is admirable. I love the fact that you keep going. Because this is your sacred place, as it should be.
This is the very first time I’ve ever done anything like this. I’m what can be defined as a ‘silent fan’. I never commented on anything in the girls’ posts, not even on the fan accounts I follow. I don’t have Twitter. I have Facebook but it’s like I don’t have it because I don’t use it. I have Wattpad (obviously). I recently registered here on Tumblr, and I have Instagram. That’s what I use. It’s the only app along with YouTube that I use daily to keep up with the rest of the world. Especially the American part of the world. I’m Italian, but I speak American English well, and I apologize in advance if my lazy ass hasn’t noticed possible grammatical errors. I saw that a lot of you are into this stuff, so I thought I’d add it just because. I’m a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon, and Virgo rising.
I’m gonna turn 29 on December 22, and this is a BIG fuck off to all the people who have attacked you lately for your age. This is personal information that I give freely to make ignorant and small-minded people understand that, in this context especially, age is irrelevant. As you, little fucker who hides behind a computer to attack people just to feel stronger, have a life, we have it too. Like you, we have a life, a job, friends, etc. We also have passions. Passions that yes, my dear haters, also include shipping people. I don’t know why in your stupid brain we’re too old to ship people we love and to give opinions about it. I didn’t know it was something reserved only for those who still smell like mommy’s milk. But anyway…
I became aware of 5H existence just before summer 2015 thanks to ‘Worth It’. Being Italian, however, I had no idea who they were, and to be honest, I didn’t go searching for them. Randomly one day then, I ran into Camren on YouTube. I can’t remember which video I was watching, but I know for sure it was about ‘Heya/Brittana’ (Heather Morris and Naya Rivera/Brittany and Santana, my very first hard LGBT ship). And among the suggested videos, there they are. As ridiculous as it sounds, and although I liked them as soon as I saw them, I didn’t go searching for them. I did it when ‘Work from Home’ came out though. From there, I connected that they were the same ‘Worth It’ group and the same two girls I liked from those YouTube videos. I had officially become a fan. I was screwed. Screwed because, I’d officially entered one of the most messed up and yet most beautiful fandoms ever.
As I initially said, this is the very first time I’ve ever done anything like this. But after the recent events, seeing how many people gave up, it made me a little angry and gave me the strength to speak for the first time. I thought the first time would’ve been through the fanfiction I’ve been working on for over two years, but no. Lauren and her beautiful mouth had to terrorize, disappoint, panic, and make angry 80% of CS, thus fueling the hatred of all the other fandom towards us. So I decided to speak now. Maybe, just maybe, this very long ass post of mine is gonna help struggling CS. Maybe, just maybe, it’s gonna make them reason and bring them to their senses.
So. This, as I think you’ve understood, is about Lauren and what she said in the podcast. This is a reminder of the Laucy situation. These are things we already know and that I want to remind you of because apparently, my lovely fellows CS, either you have a short-term memory, or Lauren has the power to create amnesia in people’s minds and I knew nothing about it. Surely this power of hers didn’t work on me and a few others.
Oh and, before starting: 1) You may disagree with me. It’s normal to have different opinions. 2) You can search for information such as dates, easily on the internet. 3) I’m gonna use nicknames on PRs for fun. That doesn’t mean I hate them. I have my reasons for dislike each one of them as people, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with the fact that they were or are the Camren beards. An example to make you understand what I mean is Ty. I’m a huge Ari fan and I’ve been listening to ‘safety net’ non-stop for two days straight. I really dislike Ty as a person, but I separate the art from the artist.
Okay, that said, I can start.
Lauren said: “I knew I was queer because I fell in love with my best friend when I was like 15.” – “Her and I started to have a physical connection when I was 15.”
Lauren and Lucid Vivisectionist met when L moved to Carrollton in 7th grade. Lucille moved back to Puerto Rico in February 2012, returning to visit Miami occasionally (this explains the fetus pictures with Lucy and Camren at L’s house). In February 2012, Lauren was 15, Camila 14, and Lucy 16. And who did Lauren meet when she was 15? Oh yeah, Camila. C and L did the first phase of the audition, the ‘cattle call’, on May 1, 2012 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Audition where Camila took courage to speak at the (“Oh my God that girl is) literally so beautiful” girl from which she felt intimidated by starting that adorable brief conversation “Hi, I like your shirt”, “Thanks. I like your jacket” just before it was her turn to get in for her audition. In May 2012, Lauren and Camila were both 15 years old. Lauren and Camila saw each other again for the first time on July 25th, two months later, in Miami on the first day of boot camp, and it was Lauren herself who went to Camila: “You’re the Cuban girl!”. In July 2012, Lauren was 16 and Camila was 15.
Lauren said: “She came back into my life when I was 18. I was on tour and I was in my room in a hotel somewhere, and she called me.” Let me explain to you why I think this is true.
Lauren and Luxy reconnected with each other after Lucy’s car accident that took place on May 15, 2015. Lauren was really 18 in May 2015, and we can rule out The Reflection Tour dates because it started on February 27, 2015, and ended April 6, 2015. We can also rule out these other show dates that 5H did: April 11 in Jackson Township, New Jersey - April 13 at Live! with Kelly and Michael in New York - April 19 Lauren was at Coachella with Keana, Britt, and other friends - April 22 at the Worldwide Radio Summit in Hollywood - April 25 at Radio Disney Music Awards 2015 in Los Angeles - May 8 at Channel 93.3 Summer Kickoff 2015 in Chula Vista, San Diego - May 9 at Wango Tango 2015 in Carson, Los Angeles (May 9, rumors about Camila and Louis Tomlinson just because paparazzi believed they were together when Louis was actually together with Liam outside the Project Club L.A., and C who was at the club next door) - May 15 at KDWB Radio Show in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The rest of their program and possible date: May 16 at Kiss Concert 2015 in Mansfield, Massachusetts - May 19 at Dancing with the Stars in Los Angeles - May 30 at G-A-Y in London (rumors about Lauren and Louis Tomlinson this time, born because 5H went to Libertine nightclub with Louis and Niall) - May 31 at Britain’s Got More Talent in London - June 2 at Capital FM in Birmingham, England - June 5 at Good Morning Britain in London - June 6 at Capital FM Summertime Ball 2015 in London - June 12 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii - June 14 at LA Pride 2015 - June 18 at Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles - June 20 at B96 Pepsi Summer Bash 2015 in Bridgeview, Illinois - June 23 at San Diego County Fair 2015 - 28 June at Show Of The Summer 2015 in Hershey, Pennsylvania - July 10 at Rockefeller Plaza in New York. July 15, 2015, beginning of Reflection: The Summer Tour.
June 27, 2015 Lauren turned 19, and do you guys remember the events of those days? Because I do.
On June 24, 2015, Lauren celebrated her birthday in advance at the famous sushi restaurant ‘Katsuya’. Among the guests were the girls, her mom Clara, some friends, including Jill (the same Jill/Jillian Gutowitz who worked with Zack Sang and who 5H met on April 22, 2015, at the Worldwide Radio Summit, which lasted for three days but they were present for two: 22 and 23. The same Jill who wrote the article for AfterEllen on January 25, 2016, about her experiences with women who denied their sexuality. Remember the story of Lauren Jordan, right?), and Noah Benardout (may he rest in peace). Still no Lucia, not even on the days when Lauren returned to Miami to celebrate with her family before resuming the program from the 28. As I already said, The Reflection Summer Tour began on July 15, 2015, and Lucy’s first public reappearance took place on one of the tour dates, that is, July 27 at Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
From that moment on, we saw Lucille appear on multiple occasions in hops through time. After the July 27th date, we saw her during the trip to Hawaii with Lauren and Keana in September, followed by the concert that the girls had on October 10 in the Bahamas, where they stayed with their families and friends for a few days. After the Bahamas, the mess happened between 5H because they found out about Camila’s departure from the group which initially should’ve been immediate, but for which they fought and gained another year. That, was also the time when Laucy signed their PR contract. As we know from Lauren herself, that was the worst and darkest time for her. That was the beginning of her numbness.
On October 23, they were on their way to Italy and Lauren wrote on her dark diary, the one shown to us in Episode 8 of her Attunements. On October 24, they arrived in Milan for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2015 occurred on October 25, and on October 28, in Madrid instead, there was the interview with Alyson Eckmann, the journalist Camila flirted with while Lauren was sitting right next to her.
Going forward, in November we have:
- Rumors about Lauren and Julius Dein (his friend who is a YouTube magician).
-The release of IKWYDLS including the rumors about Camila and Shawn and Michael Clifford (who was already in the picture) who were ‘vying for her’.
- Beginning of Lauren’s coming out plan which included: 1) The release of The Vamps’ album on November 23rd, that is, a week after the release of IKWYDLS, and which included the track ‘I Found A Girl’. Joe O'Neill, the manager of The Vamps, liked that famous tweet. Despite the efforts to make us believe that Bleahren (sorry for the Italian pun I made here, but ‘bleah’ in Italian is equivalent to the ‘eww’ to indicate something gross, and therefore Bleah-Ren) Brauren was real and that the girl involved was Lucille and not Camila, they’ve miscalculated since Lauren and Brad ‘dated’ in 2014 when Lucy had not yet returned into Lauren’s life. But since the album and consequently the song came out on November 23, 2015, they tried to manipulate people’s minds as usual. 2) Jill’s article that served to connect and more or less ‘confirm’ the story between this Jordan and her childhood friend, Lauren-Lucy.
- December: completion of the 7/27 album + Dina LaPolt’s entry + renegotiation of the contracts (mostly DNA’s contracts) + FIFTH HARMONY MUSIC, INC. created by LAND on December 21 to prepare for the transfer of the 5H trademark, the FIFTH HARMONY PARTNERSHIP, of which they became owners from April 27, 2016 + change of management from Faculty Management: Jared Paul and Janelle Lopez, to Maverick Management: Larry Rudolph, Dan Dymtrow, and Tara Beikae. [All things that were possible ONLY THANKS to the exit of C from the group]
- January 2016, we have Lauren and Lucrezia who came back from Colombia to then taking a road trip for Lucy’s birthday week.
- Jill’s article came out and coincidentally, by pure chance, exactly two days later, on January 27, 2016, Camila and Dinah were hacked.
- On March 9, 2016, Lauren, Normani, Andrea, Dinah, and Keana went to pierce their ears, or rather, Laurmainah pierced their ears, mama Dre and Keana just accompanied them. During her turn, Lauren asked Keana to take her phone to make a video. In the meantime, Mani was filming Lauren, and again by pure chance, Keana, who was in the heart of the frame, took Lauren’s phone as she’d asked, and both the lock screen and the home screen portrayed a picture of Lucania during a photoshoot. Same picture Lucy herself posted on Instagram on April 10th to leave no doubt.
- April 24, 2016, Coachella together.
- Luciana went with 5H in London, in May, during the promotion of the 7/27 album. (+ Camren video of May 28, 2016)
- She was present during the start of the tour in South America on June 26th (in the evening during the concert, L danced Big Bad Wolf for her, but that’s not the famous video, that was on September 5) and 27th to celebrate L’s birthday together (picture of the 27th of them in Buenos Aires).
- June 27, 2016, on L’s birthday, Jill posted a picture with L from the birthday dinner of the year before, further confirming the story of ‘Jordan’.
- August 1, the national girlfriend day, L posted a picture of her and Lucy.
- From August 12 to 21, Lucy was with them. The night after the concert on the 13th in Rochester Hills, Michigan, videos in which Lucilla appeared during Lauren Fuller’s birthday celebration at the hotel for dinner. On the 14th in Noblesville, Indiana, during Gonna Get Better and Big Bad Wolf Lauren smiled in Lucy’s direction who was in the audience. On the 18th in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a fan met Laucy in a movie theater restroom, taking a selfie with Lauren (C posted a picture of her in the dark with the words of Bad Things “don’t think that I can explain it” the same night).
- On September 4 and 5 Lucippe returned. On the 5th in Houston, Texas, the famous ‘super HD’ video took place in which Lauren danced Big Bad Wolf for Lucy, even pointing to her during her verse. [On September 6, Midland, Texas, during the Q&A, Lauren wore the same dress that Lucy was wearing to the concert the night before, and at the same time, she sat next to C and got jealous when C complimented a fan by sending her flying kisses. Ahh… The irony]
Now. Let’s move on to the part of the podcast where Lauren explains about the kiss with Lucza at her uncle and aunt’s wedding, how her aunt “super innocently” posted the pictures on Facebook that her “unreal invasive fans” found and posted, how Perez Hilton outed her to the world by posting an article with those pictures, how she did nothing for a week, and that after thinking “Ok, it happened. People know. What am I gonna do?”, she wrote that letter against Trump as her own way of coming out.
On November 4, 2016, Lauren and Lucynda did the ‘famous’ photoshoot in New Orleans called ‘Bare With Me’. Lauren flew to NOLA right after Halloween, got back to Miami to vote, then returned to New Orleans on the 10th along with her family for the wedding. Lucianna was also with her on the 10th for the rehearsal/bowling with all of Lauren’s relatives. Meanwhile Orange Trumpeter was elected on the 8th, and many celebrities were preparing to write a letter through Billboard against him and his supporters. Labels and management saw it as a perfect opportunity to get her to come out also considering how much Lauren has always been vocal on the subject, and THEY contacted Billboard to get her to participate in exchange of the exclusive of her coming out. All that was missing was the evidence to make sure that there had been no connection with Camila, and that was the reason for the kiss at the wedding on the 11th.
On November 13, the wedding photographer posted those pictures on his website, including the one of the kiss. And I’m sorry, Lolo, I love you but, really? Who are you kidding? The pictures didn’t start spreading because her ‘unreal invasive fans’ found them on her aunt’s Facebook page where she’d posted them ‘super innocently’. The pictures started spreading after the photographer posted them! And you know what’s even more funny? That to see those pictures on the website, you needed an access password. So what are you saying here, Lo? That your ‘unreal invasive fans’ were so good, to even have hacked their way into the website for pictures they didn’t even know existed? It wasn’t your team, was it? Oh, okay. My bad.
Sarcasm aside. The pictures started to spread, Perez tweeted about it on the 14th, and in the meantime Lauren had time to write the letter that was approved by the labels and sent to Billboard (on the 14th), who approved it a couple of days after it was sent (on the 16th), and which they then published it in the article two days later (on the 18th). In all of this, on November 15, 2016, the girls all went to Epic’s party. Since we know very well that most of the cases of coming out as bisexual in the industry made by a female celebrity occur in succession with the connection with a guy, that night there was the PR proposal between Typo Dolour Signal and Lauren that he obviously accepted, and in fact, he was there that night at that party too (Picture of C with a tear mark on her cheek).
Now, the icing on the cake of the Laucy’s PR: Nicole Cartolano. Nicole is a friend of Lecy’s with whom she had already worked together and who also posted pictures of Lauren on November 17 and 22, 2016, one on December 31, 2016, together with Marian Hill taken backstage after Lauren’s performance with them on the 30th, the night before, for the Snow Globe Festival in South Lake Tahoe, California, and the one of Laucy (with the piñata) on January 10, taken the same night to celebrate Lucilia’s birthday at midnight and that Lauren also used to post it for wish her a happy birthday. That was the last public interaction between the two. *Slow entry of Tympans Dollhouse Signalized in the picture from January 4, 2017, thanks to that tweet*.
On January 21, 2017, Lauren and Lucy were at the same Women’s March, but separately (single), and we haven’t seen them together anymore. LuBYE. On March 22, 2017, both ‘Bare With Me’ and the interview article Nicole did with MTV News (she confirmed that Laucy had been together by having an on-again, off-again for years and also said a lot of other bullshit like the fact that the girls were nervous because they didn’t know how their parents would’ve responded) came out. On August 13, 2018, Nicole officially apologized to Lucy for being angry with her for posting the pictures and therefore for having outed her and for having taken part in the MTV interview without their permission. There was also the screenplay made by Nicole’s mom to make everything even more true.
Bullshit on bullshit on bullshit. Number 1, Lauren herself confirmed in this podcast that her parents knew about her, and said how much she loved Lucre’s ‘I’m out and proud’ part.
Number 2, Nicole posted a preview of the pictures on March 18, 2017, so if she really wanted to stop her before the publication on the 22nd, she would’ve had time to do so.
Number 3, Lucita came out publicly on her own with that Spanish post on Instagram on November 20, 2016, saying in summary that she was anything but straight because she didn’t want to label herself (she did it years later by saying she was a lesbian).
Number 4, as Lusia also confirmed in that post where Nicole’s mom left that comment, Nicole signed a non-disclosure agreement form. If she had actually violated it without having had a release and written consent form, she would’ve been sued.
Number 5, if Luciferase really wanted to have that conversation in private with Nicole’s mom, she might very well have done so. She could’ve contacted her and answered her IN PRIVATE for real, and not via IG where EVERYONE saw and took the side of poor, poor Luckless.
Number 6, the biggest proof that shows the hypocrisy of all this, Lucasta continued to work with Nicole. Their last work dates back to November 25, 2019.
Okaay, sure… sure, because it was normal for her to continue working with the person who outed her, wasn’t it? People’s lies never cease to amaze me. For that matter, Nicole also posted a picture of their ‘adventure’ as they made their way to the photoshoot location on November 1, 2017, and continued to wish them both a happy birthday with posts every year.
And lastly, on June 6, 2020, we have the Lucerne’s video leaked (+ old pictures and videos of 5H) where she burned pictures of Lauren and of the two of them together in 2017, accompanied by the tweets occurred two days later, in which she explained that she was hacked and that she burned the pictures for a closure. Then, exactly 20 days later, that is on June 26, 2020, the PAPER Magazine article of Lauren’s interview came out. What a coincidence! In that article, Lauren explained, along with other things, that she’d been in love with her best friend for 7 years.
Lauren, honey, the maths, the maths… If according to your words you fell in love with her at 15, got together with her at 18, and broken up at 20, how can these be 7 years? It’s 5 years… And as if it wasn’t enough, still according to your words, after 1 year and 8 months (from mid-May 2015 to mid-January 2017), 2 months of which public because of the wedding pictures, of the relationship you wanted at all costs, “all in” and “now we’re gonna be in this relationship”, you broke up with her because she was really toxic, and after less than a month, you started dating an even more toxic person without the proper time to heal?? How do you expect me to believe you? And I’m putting aside the fact that I know they’re both PR relationships. I’m speaking out of logic. How? How can I believe you? How does this make any sense?
Personally, yes, I believe Lauren and Lucy have a past. Lauren’s first kiss was when she was 13 (8th grade) with her boyfriend at the time, Dominic, but I think Lucy was her first kiss with a girl. And I think it happened when she was 15, but in 2011, so long before Lucy left. Lauren dated Paul Martinez from June 4, 2011, to the end of July (around 23/24). From after Paul, until her very first PR at X-Factor, Keaton Stromberg, she was single. I truly believe that before she met Camila, Lauren and Lucy did everything Lauren said. I really believe Lauren experimented with her in secret, but I don’t believe in anything else she said at all.
This is my opinion. And in my opinion, Lauren always knew she was queer, and Lucy was the first with whom she could experience the attraction and the feelings towards girls she had always felt and concealed deep inside herself. But they were friends. Just friends. Friends who messed around and experimented together in secret given the environment that surrounded them. Lucy then returned to live in Puerto Rico and they simply drifted apart because of the distance and Lauren’s busy schedule with 5H. When she came back into Lauren’s life, they rekindled their friendship. Just that. Also because, Camila, hello? Camila entered Lauren’s heart the same year Lucy left and never get out of it. Not to mention that Lucy had a girlfriend, Sarah Scott Narcise, before getting together with Nicole Marie Rendón in March 2017. I honestly think that Lucy was also giving advice to Lauren about her relationship with Camila, and I also think that now they really aren’t friends anymore for something we don’t know about, even though I have my theories… But anyway. Lauren needed a beard to be able to come out, Lucy needed visibility for her modeling career and, at the time, also for her music which, however, never saw the light of day. The labels approved because they would’ve done anything to keep their chosen one out of the gay light. Camila also approved. Boom, PR.
I don’t believe all the other bullshit she said during the podcast. Because if they’d been true, they would’ve made logical sense. A sense they’ve been trying, and failing, to give for years. If Lauren really didn’t want to come out, she wouldn’t have done a photoshoot with Lucy a week before the wedding with the intention of using that same photoshoot to come out. She would not have kissed Lucy in a public place during the wedding pictures in front of a professional photographer hired for the event, knowing full well that those pictures would eventually have been published by the bride and groom, her aunt and uncle, and the photographer himself. If she wanted so badly a picture of her kissing her girlfriend, drunk or not, she would’ve taken her fucking phone and take selfies. It wasn’t the fans’ or Perez’s fault. It was the management that was following the plan.
And I’m supposed to, what exactly? Forget all these things, things that have been proofed multiple times in the past, because Lauren, or Camila, or management, or labels, or their contracts, must continue with their stupid narrative? Because Camila must continue to look straight and continue to look in love with Shalt Menstruated because the señorito is about to release his documentary and his album? Because Camila’s movie is about to come out? Because Lauren’s own album is about to be released and because the subject matter of her female-pronounced songs must only and exclusively be related to Lucy? (Although I think her album will be out next year. I think a song with female pronunciation is coming out soon. And no, I’m sorry, I don’t think it’s Burning)
Guys, come on…
Think about it. She used Lucy as a shield to tell part of her story with Camila that happened in 2014. It all fits. Even the story told through songs from Camila’s cocky POV, including ‘Like Friends Do’, ‘Eyes on You’, ‘Cleopatra’, ‘Leave for Good’, and a couple from her last album like ‘Should’ve Said It’ and ‘Feel It Twice’.
I understand why many of you have been hurt by this podcast and by Lauren herself. I understand why a lot of you are angry about the things she said. I see you, I understand, I really do. And everyone is free to feel whatever they want, I’m not saying otherwise. But I really don’t understand why you’re hiding or why you’re abandoning the ship. Authors who don’t wanna write anymore. Accounts closed. Names changed. Hope lost. This, all this, makes me angry and hurt. Because you fell for it. And you know why you fell for it? Because Lauren changed her approach. Leaving aside the part just before when she said: “Even when I talk about it, and I don’t talk about it because I’ve learned to just ignore it because-” and there, I swear I had to pause because I burst out laughing, and I was like: “Bitch, you’re the one who pulled this out of your ass out of nowhere right this second, what are you saying?”. She went on by saying, and she knows us so well because of this: “I just chose to ignore it at a certain point because getting angry to them would it mean that it was real and validate it more for them”.
And it’s true. This non-angry approach of hers, worked like a charm. Lauren’s older, she’s more mature than before. Although she was very nervous, she managed to explain everything calmly. The fact that she was emotional and almost cried in many parts, it really gave an extra boost to what she tried to sell. And I’m not saying she faked almost crying. Hell, no. That was super true and hard for her. I’m saying though, that it’s really easy to manipulate people’s minds, and Lauren used her real pain, the real suffering she has gone through over the years to tell this charade. That’s why it seemed so real. And I’m supposed to fall for that shit just because that’s what they’ve wanted for years, right? Convenient much?
Guys, please. You’re smarter than that, use those beautiful brains. For example, the fact that Lauren said: “I was queer, but she was not”, wrong as you want it to be, and “Camila and I were just really good friends at that time”, yeah, sure, Jan. Doesn’t the very fact that she used the past tense make you realize that it was done to completely detach herself from her IN THE PRESENT? Everything she said was for something. Everything had a purpose. And the goal is always the same. Make us stop shipping ‘em. Putting a label on C only served the Shoestoremila purpose, nothing else. And those were words that came out of the mouth of the one who says she doesn’t like labeling people. The same one who was pissed that someone had outed her before she wanted to. Do you really think she’s that hypocritical?
The fact that she put all the CS in the same box, especially when she talked about the Daddy situation, WAS DONE ON PURPOSE. She couldn’t fail to generalize because their purpose is, and will be for a long time to come, to kill Camren. That means the whole fandom. Not just invasive elements. But really all the CS. The purpose was to make us feel guilty. The purpose is to make us accept that it was never real, and since we care about them, to make us continue to support them individually and not as a couple, even though she knows that the real CS do it regardless. This, is called manipulation, guys.
Think about everything else too. The inconsistency. The holes in her story. The lack of explanations. And the fact that during the story of how it all happened, she jumped from one theme to another and therefore managed to deflect and not completely finish one before moving on to the other, doesn’t it make you understand that she didn’t want to give too many details? And when does that usually happen? She knew we’d analyze her. She knew she couldn’t say too much. When she talked about Lucy, she knew that WE know she was talking about Camila, and with too many details, it would also have been obvious to the others because WE would’ve pointed it out to everyone. I mean, it’s obvious enough in itself, imagine if she’d fed us more information that we would’ve compared in the timeline.
Please, guys. I know that it feels like something’s changed, but it’s not. It’s really not. I’m appealing to all of you. Open your eyes. Reason. I know many of you still have conflicting emotions and feelings, and that’s okay. If you’re still upset, if you still wanna cry, then cry. Do whatever helps you feel better because, especially after the haters have come to bite your asses, you’re entitled to feel the way you do. But please, please, don’t give up. If you give up, you just play their game. You just do them a favor. You guys had invested so much of your time, so much of your passion, so much of yourselves to just, give up. Think of all we’ve been through, especially those who’ve been in the fandom for years. Think about how happy Camren makes you. They were there for you when you needed them. When you were going through hard times. I know they’ve helped a lotta people.
And think about this too. Lauren herself said at the beginning of the podcast: “The news and the media are constantly spinning narratives for your clicks so they can make money”. And what do you think this podcast was for? It’s always the same shit. Have you not noticed how the very same news and media have ALL talked about them? Didn’t you notice how My Oh My magically returned into the charts? How 50ft surpassed the 9 million streams on Spotify? And you still have doubts?
This is instead for the CS who get often angry about their actions. I personally think it’s pointless to blame Lauren and Camila for every single thing they do that has been PLANNED for them. Especially Camila as far as Shonas is concerned. There’s a pattern here too. Lauren had her light PR with Lucia. Lauren then had her heavy PR with Typic Dole Sight while Camila had a light one with Eatchu. And now Camila’s having a heavy one. C’s one is heavier simply because they’re much more famous than PRen (Tyren) were. So, guys, be patient. There’s really no point in getting angry and blaming them. It’s a waste of energy. It’s useless to blame them if they’re gonna continue to do so over the years to come. They’re just still trying to get past their original contracts and survive in the industry at the same time. Sooner or later, I HOPE, they will be free to tell the truth or the truth will come out on its own.
Well, I’m done. Jeez, that was long, wasn’t it? But I hope it was worth it. I hope I’ve cleared your heads a little bit and instilled some hope again. I also hope I made you smile with all those nicknames and my sarcasm. I especially hope that wherever you are, you’re having a good day, and if not, then I hope it has improved at least a little bit with this post. And thank you so much, Stuck. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to use my voice for the first time publicly/virtually. You, above all, keep on being one of the lights and NEVER let them turn you off. I love you guys. Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay patient. With love, F.
I leave you with these two pearls:
Number 1. Lauren said something else too. She said: “Don’t trust me. Go research. Go look this shit up yourself”. I know she said it for a completely different context, but I found it really funny given the situation.
Number 2. This is a small scene that automatically created itself in my head as soon as I finished listening to Wonder. I titled it: The sad and short story of the making of ‘Wonder’.
Enjoy:
*on the phone*
Shawl Mendicant: “Hey, buddy. I know you were a huge Fifth Harmony fan and I know you love my fake girlfriend, so I was thinking… could you help me? You know, I need her to stay relevant, but to do that, I also need to release music and completely take all the credit from other people because, you know, the most I do is change a sentence or two in my style to make people think that I wrote all my songs.”
Sam Smith: “………okay?”
Shawnita Menorrhagia: “So, I was wondering, can I copy your homework? You can totally refuse if you want to, but I’m hoping to appeal to the love you have for 5H and Camila, and maybe help a friend out?”
Sam Smith: “Yeah, sure, you can copy my homework. Anything for my girls. Just, change it up a bit so it doesn’t sound too obvious you just copied it.”
Shonas Mended: “Don’t worry. I’ve got this. Thanks, man.” - *ends the call*
Sam Smith looking at the phone with an incredulous expression and one hand over his heart: “I came out as a non-binary, you insensitive asshole!”
Shoes Mentionable from the other room: “Cameeela! He said yes!” *reaching then Camila and Lauren in the living room where Lauren is lying with her head resting on Camila’s legs who’s running her fingers through her hair with one hand and holding the book that she’s reading with the other one* “You were right, all I had to do was mention you girls.”
Lauren chuckling and continuing to pet Cleo who’s lying at the foot of the couch with one hand: “Told you”, to then adding: “And please, I know you’re excited because of the news but keep your voice down”, continuing to caress Sofi’s head who’s sleeping on top of her with the other one.
Shapeless Mentality: “Oh, sorry.”
Camila without looking away from her book: “Sam’s really nice. I’m sure they would’ve said yes even without the need of mentioning us.”
Lauren: “Hmm, I’m not so sure about that, babe. Yes, they’re very nice, but we’re powerful in their minds, so it was an added incentive for them to say yes.”
Shaved Mentholated: “Who are they? Weren’t we talking about Sam?”
Camila who was giggling at her girlfriend’s words:
Lauren:
Sinu from the kitchen:
Cleo who was nibbling her toy:
Even Thunder, Leo, and Eugene from outside into the yard:
*the end*
Chon Mendable: ‘Wonder’ - Sam Smith: ‘One Last Song’

OMG I am speechless. I’m really still digesting this whole story because it’s amazing but I wanted to start by saying hello to you and telling you my name, my name is Marite. It is a pleasure to meet you dear friend. I don’t want to write too much because your words are much more important than mine but I wanted to thank you for trusting me and my blog to tell me your story. That side of the story that, being new and not having been a harmonizer from the beginning, I never learned. I intended to ask for more information about Laucy’s Timeline but what you have told is a gem. A gem that shows that the bastards of the industry cannot fool the fans because we pay attention to everything and it is not easy for us to fall for their shit. I think the power we fans have is so great that if we all came together, we could bring down this whole fucking fake empire that they have created. That said, Laucy’s story is surprising. As planned and how each person involved had to do their part on the chessboard. Incredible. Now that you tell me that story, I think it fits the one I wrote in my once upon a time post. Sure, yours is true and has everything that mine doesn’t. I have tried to keep this blog open for all who wish to come and air their ideas, their thoughts, their tea. And you dear friend, you have been one of the best so far. You’ve given us that support that the fandom so badly needed and I really appreciate it. I also appreciate your humor, the nicknames have been so hilarious and I’m still laughing. Thank you for daring to tell this part of the story and reopen the can of worms of a PR that right now resurfaces with that Lauren interview. With a purpose, it’s true. And something tells me that we will see much more very soon. Thank you for your support, my friend. And you know, you have my blog at your disposal for whatever you need. And if you need to talk or anything else. I greatly appreciate that we can continue to keep this ship afloat among ourselves. Among a group of intelligent people who have been hurt by someone we have always loved very much even though we know the reason for all that. We can’t give up now because if we do it like you say they will win and I personally don’t plan to indulge them in that. Thank you very much for all dear friend and I hope you have a nice day. I send you a hug and I hope you stay safe.

It’s just a bad day... » Tom Felton imagine
Request: yes! @lindsayfosselman93
Word count: 2,037
Pairing: Tom Felton x reader
Note: I just hope you guys will like this. xx
“Hey, Y/N” my coworker called after me, just as I was about to leave my office “A couple of us are heading out to grab a drink or two at Casey’s. Do you want to join us?”
I looked at my phone to check the time. It was a Friday afternoon, and our boss said we could leave an hour earlier than usual, knowing that we had a very though week behind us, and all of us deserved a little rest after all. 
“Yeah, sure” I smiled at her and grabbed my bag from my desk “But I’m driving, so no alcohol for me today”
“Alright” she linked her arm with mine and dragged me with her, talking about how hot her new intern was. I liked Beth. She was my mentor when I first started at the PR agency, and helped me with everything I needed. She was very open minded, and loved to ask me about England, and she really enjoyed listening to me, mostly because of my British accent. She found it fascinating “So, how’s your boo?”
I laughed at her nickname for my fiancé. They had met before, and a love-hate friendship was immediately formed between them. Beth hated that I skipped a lot of end of the week pub hopping with them to go home to Tom, but loved to hear everything about our travelling stories and the romantic things he had done just to make me happy. And Tom hated that Beth would show up at our home unannounced, and babbled about her terrible dating life, and how much she already wanted to be married. These occasions usually turned into a sleepover, because she had too much wine, and wasn’t able to drive back home. But at the same time he loved the idea of me having a good friend at work. And I knew, that deep inside, he would have helped her if she needed it. 
“He’s working on a new movie, so he is quite busy” I smiled at her and opened my car “He was up pretty late last night just to learn his lines” I frowned at the memory. He came to bed almost at the same time I had to wake up to get ready for work. He looked quite annoyed and even sad. I was thinking about him, hoping he was in a better mood and slept enough. I hated how much he pushed himself sometimes. He wanted his act to be perfect, to give his best to the project he was working on and satisfy not just his fans, but himself as well. He tended to be hard on himself. 
The pub was quite crowded when we arrived. We weren’t the only people in Los Angeles, who wanted to kick back a bit at the end of the week. Group of friends were playing billiard or were just chatting over a table with beers and wine glasses in their hands. Here and there were couples, maybe on a date. I smiled at a few familiar faces from either work, or at those who were frequent guests at Casey’s and sometimes joined us for a drinking game or just to chat. 
“So guess who’s being a baby and won’t drink today with us?” I rolled my eyes at Beth’s childish behaviour, but I couldn't hide my smile “Nah, just joking. Y/N’s only being a responsible adult here, and is actually driving”
We sat down to our usual table where some of our coworkers were already seated and were sipping on their first drink. I ordered myself a virgin Cosmopolitan and listened to one of our new intern’s story about how one of his professors was caught with his TA. I was sipping on my drink when my phone lit up in front of me. Because of the bad service in the pub, I didn’t get the notifications right away, so I didn’t see Tom’s messages.
“Baby? What time are you coming home?” 
“Are you alright? I thought you were coming home earlier..”
“Y/N???”
“Babe, I need you. I’m having a very bad day…”
I quickly texted him back that I was only out with a couple of friends from work but I was just leaving. I was worried. Tom wasn’t the double texting or multiple texting type of guy. He only acted like this, if it was important or he wasn’t feeling well. 
“Sorry guys, as much as I love to hang out with you, I really need to leave” I stood up and said my final goodbyes to them, not giving them a chance to ask me about my sudden leave-taking. Before I left to go home, I stopped by a grocery store to buy the ingredients for Tom’s favourite comfort food. 
I could see Willow’s cute face at the window when I pulled up to the driveway. She was jumping up and down when she saw me getting out of the car and walking up to the front door. I swear that dog was half a dog, half a kangaroo. 
“Love, I’m home” I called for Tom when I stepped in the hall and kicked off my high heels, which were killing my feet all day. I went to the kitchen and put down the grocery bags, before I kneeled down to pat Willow and give her a few kisses “Where’s Daddy? Can you show me?”
“Woof” she probably had no idea what I was asking her, but the fact that she hardly left Tom’s side came to my benefit, because she ran to Tom’s office. I followed her there, and of course he was there. He was laying on his sofa, the script for his new movie on his chest. The wrinkles of the pages told me he was close to tear the whole thing up and throw it away. He was asleep, but the frown from being frustrated was still on his face. 
“My love” I sat at the very edge of the sofa and pushed his hair out of his face softly “I’m home” I kissed his forehead and caressed his cheek carefully. I didn’t want to scare him.
“Hey” he murmured and pulled me on to his chest. His hands hold me close and Tom buried his face in my neck. I planted plenty of small kisses into his hair and hold him just as tight “I’m having the worst day of my life”
I laughed at him a bit. He could be a little bit overdramatic, when things weren’t going the way he planned. “Mind telling me why it is such a bad day?”
And he did. He told me that because of the lack of sleep he has been having caused him to wake up with a terrible headache this morning, and no matter how much he tried and practised, it seemed like he couldn’t memorise his lines. And when he finally gave up on learning those, he wanted to interact with his fans, but came across with a lot of hate, which led him to ask himself, if he really was good enough of an actor. 
I listened to him. Sinking in every single word that left his mouth, and played with his hair the whole time to keep him calm, and to show him I was now there for him, and was ready to do anything just to make him feel better. He was feeling very down, and it made me sad how his self-esteem shrunk down because of what some mean people and the media was writing about him, without knowing him at all. 
“Darling” I said softly “Did you really have a bad day or did you have 20 minutes where you let your thought run undisciplined which led you to a bad vibe that you let carry you away?”
“What do you mean?” He looked at me confused.
“I let you think about this” I kissed his neck softly, which made him laugh a tiny bit. I knew how ticklish his neck was, and loved and hated it at the same time, when I blow on it or kissed it. It was good to hear his laugh. It was so contagious. So to make him laugh again, I started to kiss it rapidly and blow on it, while I caressed the back of his neck with my fingertips to tickle him even more. 
“Stop, please” he laughed loudly and tried to push me away “C’mon darling, I’m going to pee myself at the age of 33 if you don’t stop” he begged me but never let go of me. I looked at him and kissed his lips with everything I had. I wanted this man to know how much I loved him. I wanted to show him that no matter what those people out there say about him. They didn’t know who Tom Andew Felton really was. They were cowards, using the power of social media. I pity them. How miserable their life must have been that the only thing that made them feel better or happy was hating on someone they didn’t even know personally?
“I’ll let you to think about what I just said” I stood up from him “Meanwhile you do your homework, I’ll make dinner. Come downstair when you are ready. Alright?”
“I love you” his voice was smooth. I adored how he said those words. They were pure, honest and filled with love and lust. I left him alone. I knew he needed it. He had to go through his whole day in a different point of view. He had to think if it was really worth it. Letting hate and a rough day ruin his good mood. Before I started on dinner, I changed into one of his tie dye hoodies and let my hair out of the ponytail. 
Tom came downstair just at the right time. I already sat the table, and was getting the food out of the oven when he came up behind me, and sneaked his arms around my waist, kissing the side of my neck lovingly. 
“You made casseroles” I could tell by his voice that he was smiling “It smells delicious” he sniffed into my hair “You smell delicious too” he playfully bit on my shoulder and squeezed my waist.
“Someone’s in a better mood” I sing sang and put the tray down on the table. 
“Yeah” he nodded and sat down “Thank you. I really need that to see the whole thing in a different view. Sometimes I tend to let my bad mood to take over my mind and I act unrealistically”
I placed my hand on his and gave him a reassuring smile. During dinner, he told me about how his day was, apart from the bad part. Tom told me how happy he was when Oliver Phelps texted him and asked if he wanted to be on their podcast the next week, and how they already made plans about a golf marathon as soon as it was possible for him to take off a few days from shooting. He even mentioned a few days trip to somewhere nice, just him, Willow and I, because we both had been very busy with our own jobs. He felt like we couldn’t spend enough quality time together, and we really needed it. I just looked at him, and adored the man sitting in front of me. At our dinner table, in our home. All these years together, and it still amazed me, that he chose me to be by his side for the rest of his life. He was honestly the most beautiful man I had ever met and I was more than ready to make him the happiest as possible. 
“I really can’t wait for you to put me in my place and treat me just like you did today for the rest of our lives” Tom hugged me from behind when we were getting ready to go to sleep. He played with my ring on my finger and smiled at me throughout the reflection of the mirror on my vanity table “Mrs. Y/N Felton. It still sound perfect to me.”

verse: podcast. ( 1/??? )
the au where calum lives a double life as a nurse during the day and a podcast host at night ( when there isn’t a night shift to take over of course! )
mana, early on in their relationship, was the one who suggested him starting one. he’s a nervous person and will ramble to himself as a way of sorting through his thoughts when he thinks no one is around. and though seldom to reveal personal details about him, he likes talking to people.
initially it was strictly a baking podcast, henceforth the name, yeast and rise, but then he started to notice more people would listen in when he was in convo with other people...so now it’s come a talk show kinda podcast but they’re also baking at the same time. very relaxing.
that was also the reason he picked his alias - doe ( yes it was meant to be a pun ).
the topics will vary from person to person, but there’s always a new recipe introduced- calum always asks his guests beforehand what their favorite baked food/dessert is.
while he has had some big names come on, he’s also big on supporting up and coming talent from all fields of art. very good at putting the guest at ease and asking the questions that really puts the guest in a good light.
from the very beginning, he made a point to keep his podcast life separate from his personal and professional life. although podcasting is a large part of his life, he still insists on keeping his position as a nurse. especially after mana’s death- it keeps him busy. ( he does eventually go from full-time to part-time for his nursing job though the bigger his following gets. )
he’s never shown his face to his followers and anyone who comes on his podcast has to sign an nda not to reveal his identity. basically it’s a running joke amongst his listeners- the most they know about calum is that he’s male aligned, he’s been baking since high school, he has a child, and he has a daytime job.
there’s always one new episode every week save for the last two weeks of the year. although there were three months where his show inexplicably went on hiatus. followers noticed afterwards that he seemed a lot more reticent following that hiatus...
