BLAINE: Well, it’s good that you’re still friends, at least! A little, yeah - I think it’s weirder for Davlin, though. I know it bothers him more than it bothers me, at least.

BLAINE: I don’t think either of them knew what to do with three artistically inclined sons, ha. I think it’s a little easier now that we’re actually employed, and not jobless and penniless, at least.

BLAINE: No complaints! I may have to temper my Infinity War enthusiasm just a little bit, though, 😊 Your roommate’s an MCU fan, too, then?

RYDER: Do you think I shouldn't be friends with her? Like is that weird to be friends with someone you were hooking up with and are no longer hooking up with? Ah I see. I mean, as long as you both know what's going on and find a middle ground, I guess.

RYDER: Hahaha, I bet. But I think it says a lot that you all come from a pretty career norm home and all found jobs that you love in the arts.

RYDER: He's not as big of a fan as I am but he's into it. So I drag him to stuff.

SEBASTIAN: You're dating and don't know who her friends are? We're definitely not friends.

SEBASTIAN: It's all good. I have no clue what you do either. I'm a bartender, and work is good.

RYDER: I know who her friends are but I never knew how close you two were and she never really talked about you much anyways so I was just wondering.

RYDER: Recruiter. I find people to fill jobs for a few tech companies. Nice. You like it?

HUNTER: What could that possibly mean? Yes, I agree they make conversations less serious but I'm not sure if you can tell, but I'm not a light conversationalist.

HUNTER: Not particularly, no. I much prefer the company of cats. But adopting is the way to go.

RYDER: Yeah I kinda get that vibe from you.

RYDER: Never been a huge fan of cats. But Audrey has one, I like him a lot but he doesn't seem to like me. Or anyone, really. But yeah, I'd much rather adopt than go to a breeder or something.

QUINN: Sometimes weird cravings are a sign you're lacking in a vitamin or something like that. Like there are people who crave chewing on ice and it means they're low on iron. I'm not sure what pickles might mean.

QUINN: I appreciate it. Thankfully the flower industry isn't cut-throat so I always approve of helping out another business stay afloat.

RYDER: Really? That's so interesting. I'll have to look more into that cause sometimes I crave tuna and it's like all I eat for a week.

RYDER: Hahaha. But how interesting would that be if it were. I'm sure Hollywood would be all over that, flower shop rivals or something.

AMANDA: I couldn't imagine doing it, but she somehow turned my brother and I into mostly respectable adults. Sometimes two parents can't manage that.

AMANDA: Nothing fully. I actually came back to New York for a little bit so I can stop pretending like I have a family before I start working for a new one.

RYDER: That's true. And I thinking it's more important to grow up in a house where things are more stable and nurturing than a chaotic house where the parents fight all the time and just don't divorce because they're stubborn.

RYDER: Oh so you went home to visit your family?

QUINN: First I'd say you're completely wrong for disliking pickles and then I'd ask if there is a chance you're pregnant. I craved so many things that I normally wouldn't eat. Sometimes our bodies are just out of our control.

QUINN: We could pack them so they'd last, but I'd actually recommend ordering from a local flower shop in town so they get the extra business.

RYDER: HAHAHAHAHAHA. My assistant convinced me to try cucumber water and I swear to god it tasted like pickles and I wanted to throw up, I couldn't drink much of it. But no I think it's actually physically impossible for me to get pregnant. But that was my first thought when I was having such a weird craving.

RYDER: Ordering in town would probably be easier. But I'll come to you with all my flower needs for around here, I swear.

AMANDA: My mom was a pretty badass mom so I was never too worried about having a dad around. She could kick anyone's ass if needed.

AMANDA: Good point, but usually in this kind of business you're working with entire families. He'd be the first single dad I ever worked with.

RYDER: That's awesome. I don't think single mothers get enough credit. Like parenting is hard enough when there are two parents around but when there's only one, holy shit.

RYDER: Did anything ever happen with it? I know it's been a while since we last spoke, sorry about that.

wink message 😉 hunter

HUNTER: The face ones are just as hard to read. I rather someone just use their words, quite honestly. I don't like having to guess how someone is feeling.

HUNTER: You have a dog? Interesting. There are plenty of dog parks around here, unfortunately. Well, fortunately for you I'm sure.

RYDER: Some of em are pretty hard for me, yeah. The upside down smiley face stumps me a lot. I get that it makes conversations seem less...idk serious or harsh but they can be confusing.

RYDER: Yeah I adopted one a few months ago. Do you not like dogs?

BLAINE: Wow. That sounds - complicated, 😳 I thought it was odd that a couple of guys were flirting with both me and my twin, but that sounds even more dramatic, ha.

BLAINE: Mom’s in hospital management, so the ‘lawyer or doctor’ thing was all too real, ha. I can’t true - but it’s taken him a while to accept.

BLAINE: I did! I might have dragged Davlin and Kurt along to see it with me, just so I wasn’t derelict in my MCU duties, 😇

RYDER: It's a little strange yeah but I'm still friends with the girl and it's not like it bothers me knowing she's sleeping with another guy. Is that not weird? To know someones flirting with both you and your twin?

RYDER: Oh wow so that must have been really hard to get away from. But hey your parents should be super proud to have such creative kids.

RYDER: Yeah? How'd they like it? I went and saw it with my roommate so I got to geek out a little bit.

SEBASTIAN: I just assumed that girl you were into kept you on a tight leash.

SEBASTIAN: Everything's good, though.

RYDER: You mean Audrey? I wouldn't say she's got me on a leash or anything. I mean we're dating but she doesn't control who I talk to.

RYDER: Besides I thought you two were friends.

RYDER: Yeah? How's work? Forgive me but you'll have to remind me what you do again.

wink message 😉 sebastian

SEBASTIAN: I did, but I have to disagree with whoever you heard from. It's not at all like Spanish.

RYDER: Lol I swore I replied to this. But I just saw that I didn't .

RYDER: So anyways. How've you been? What's new?

AUDREY: 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

AUDREY: Training the dog not to cuddle-block us is one of the many things I love about you. 🤣🤣

AUDREY: I wonder if she'd go for it or if she'd realize what you're trying to do. I've heard that like, golden retrievers are super smart dogs so even if she's still young she's definitely perceptive.

AUDREY: You're forgiven. 😘😘

AUDREY: I mean, he might come around eventually, but I think he's mostly just prickly by nature.

AUDREY: Thank you. The party is on April 14, so... if you could come I'd really like that. 🤩

RYDER: I'll write you a 10 page love letter. Double spaced, MLA format, the whole 9 yards.

RYDER: Well I get to sleep with Maggie every night, I don't get that luxury with you, gotta soak it in while I can.

RYDER: I think she's totally gonna realize what I'm trying to do. I may just have to train her not to get on the bed until I tell her, that way we can get situated and she won't have any room between us. If you can't tell, I'm pretty hell bent on being able to spoon you when I want to.

RYDER: That's just not fair at all. All I want is to cuddle my lady, my dog, and my lady's cat all at once. Why is this so hard???

RYDER: You didn't even have to ask, just tell me the date and you know I'm there. I'm putting it on my calendar. 😘

RYDER: So I was thinking maybe this weekend we could go out for a picnic or something. Those are cute, right?

wink 😉 puck → ryder

PUCK: About half time. It's a fucked up schedule, but it's not like a every second weekend thing.

RYDER: Yeah I mean half the time is better than only once every other weekend.

RYDER: Did you figure out what you were gonna do about the nanny thing?

[ryderly-nn-blog]

wink match 😉 mandy & ryder

AMANDA: They don't sound that great so I might have to pass.

AMANDA: Maybe a little different? Finding someone to sleep with and someone to work for in the same place is kind of weird.

RYDER: HAHAHAHAHAHA. That might be one of the funniest things I've ever heard about shitty dads lol.

RYDER: I mean people fall in love at work all the time. Not saying that you guys are gonna fall in love or something but ya feel me?

BLAINE: You haven’t? And here I thought we’d overlapped matches so much that it was an app conspiracy, ha. He’s the one who’s all curls and quick wit, pretty easy to spot.

BLAINE: That’s a bit of an understatement, ha. I think Dad especially was holding out hope that one of us would follow him into law, but that wasn’t going to happen. No, I wasn’t much of a rebel at all - just not the kind of son he was expecting, I think. Cooper and Davlin at least liked girls, I didn’t even have that going for me, where he was concerned.

BLAINE: I’ve been preoccupied lately, that’s my only excuse. It’s being rectified this weekend, though!

RYDER: Oh it's still totally an app conspiracy. I just figured out the girl I was hooking up with before Audrey and I started is sleeping with or has slept with this guy I met on this app lol. BUT. The kicker is that I know of another girl from the app that he's slept with.

RYDER: Oh I'm sure every parents wants their kid to be either a lawyer or a doctor. My dad wanted me to be an engineer. But that didn't happen lol. Oh. Oh okay. Well it's not like you can control that, lol.

RYDER: Did you end up seeing it?

wink message - quinn & ryder

QUINN: So far so good. How is yours going?

QUINN: Mother's day is a huge selling point. I think father's day is less, but that also depends on the kind of father people have.

RYDER: I'd say it's gone better than expected.

RYDER: This is totally random but I just got a huge craving for pickles. But I hate pickles. You ever get cravings like that? Like for stuff you don't even like.

RYDER: Totally. I'm gonna have to send my Mom and my grandma some flowers. Could I buy em from you if they live in Colorado...?

HUNTER: Oh, I don't doubt that. I don't understand half of them on my keyboard.

HUNTER: Mostly just that, actually. How about you?

RYDER: Hahahaha same. But thankfully, she just uses the face ones so they're a little easier to figure out cause some of the ones that are like little people are just so weird, I can't see what they're doing and I feel like an old man.

RYDER: Whole lotta work and a whole lotta dog parks. I've been trying to get my dog to be a little more social lately.
