[imaginespazzi]

WELP IMPATIENCE HAS GOTTEN THE BEST OF ME, TIME READ WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS CHAPTER HAS IN STORE😇

Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me that I wanna keep (please don't leave) ISTG IF SHE LEAVES.

**“(In which an infrequently-updating writer finally didn't take a month to update)”** Which is code for finally didnt make me question whether or not it was DISCONTINUED

**“Pairing: Paige Bueckers X Azzi Fudd”** I WOULD HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY

**“Themes: Angst, Fluff and I guess a little bit of Hurt/Comfort”** NIVI,FLUFF,COMFORT?!?!? UNHEARD OF!!!!

(The angst is there by default I just ignore it)

**“TW: Swearing (and I believe that's it)”** OKK wait a damn minute you BELIEVE thats it, treading lightly.

June 2033 

**“Azzi hadn’t thought it was possible for her heart to ache as much as it had the morning after the proposal, when the regret had hit and she’d rushed into Paige’s room, only to be told by KK that the older girl was gone.”** OH SO WERE GOING IN STRONG HUH?!

**“she notices the one from Clémence”** Umm what😃

**“Dinner had been uncannily awkward last night“** DINNER?!?!? THEY WENT?!?!? LIKE ACTUALLY?! Damn Azzi are we really tryna send Paige into a self induced coma??

**when instead her door creaks open and she immediately throws the comforter off of herself, reaching over to turn on her bedside lamp as she sits up straight on her bed.** OHHH?!?!?

**Stephie stands in the doorway, a fluffy teddy bear cuddled to her chest as she stares up at Azzi with big doey eyes and the older woman’s heart constricts when she sees the hint of sadness sitting heavily within them.** HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO THIS ABSOLUTE SWEETIE PIE😞

**Her daughter, normally ever the commentator, had been dead silent, cuddling into her mother’s side and barely even chuckling at the comedy scenes. Truthfully, Stephie hadn’t been quite the same ever since they’d left Paige’s that morning** FIX THIS NOWWWWWWW (imagine me stomping on the floor like stephie wanting soda)

**“And there was a little girl too and they both gave her lots of kisses too,” Stephie’s voice is small as she says the fact and Azzi has to bite her lips hard to keep in the sob that’s threatening to escape her lips.** JUST LIKE THAT I DIED

**There’s a moment of silence before Stephie drags in a deep breath as she stares intently at her mother, “I never seen you and Miss Buecks kiss, Mama.”** Oh stephie bean trust me somethings dont need to be seen to be known honey. (CLOCKED HER ASS SO BAD GODDAMN)

EVERYTHING AFTER THAT HAD ME CRYING HOLYSHIT, THAT ENTIRE MONALOGUE WAS JUST INSANE.

April 2025

**“What are you doing?” panic filters into Azzi’s tone as she watches Paige slowly get down on one knee,** STOP STOP STOP STOP STOPPPPP OMFG THIS IS WHERE I DIE OMFG I CAN NEVER REREAD THIS EVER AGAIN.

I WILL NOT BE REFERENCING ANYTHING I READ AFTER THAT PART OF THE STORY FOR OBVIOUS REASONS (HO DID YOU JUST SLAP ME?!?)

**Azzi’s just a little too familiar with- blissfully unaware that they are currently being stared at. Actually, perhaps glared at is a more accurate statement** AZZI, GIRL real. I CAN JUST IMAGINE HER MEAN MUGGING THEM. Theres NO way they didnt see azzi burning holes into their faces😭

**They’re sickeningly cute.**

**And Azzi fucking hates them.** HAH HYPOCRITE 🫵🤣

WONDER WHO THAT SOUNDS LIKE AZZI🧐

**“You’re- you’re playing the Liberty right?” the little girl asks quietly, “that’s- that’s where Miss Buecks wanna go? New York?”** Yk where I wanna go stephie?😊 A BAR.

**“Honey no,” Azzi cuts her daughter off heartbrokenly, “we are not going to live in New York.** 

**“But Mama, Miss Buecks-”**

**“Stephie stop-”**

UM NO AZZI I THINK YOU MEAN “NIVI STOP-“

**“No Mama listen,” Stephie protests indignantly** MHM SPEAK YOUR TRUTH STEPHIE🗣️🗣️

**“Mama what if- what if Miss Buecks really needs to be in New York. What if it’s impo-tant. And that’s- that’s why she can’t stay here. With us. Not cause she doesn’t want to but cause she can’t. But Mama just because Miss Buecks can’t say doesn’t mean we can’t go Mama.”** HOW I BE DEFENDING PAIGE TOO FR🙏🐐

**“But what if I want it to work that way?” Stephie asks softly with all the innocence of a five-year old as she meets her mother’s eyes in the rearview mirror.**  THEN PAIGE IS GONNA CHANGE TRAJECTORY OF THE WORLD FOR YOU HONEY SIMPLE AS THAT JUST ASK HER.

**“That’s Miss Buecks car,” Stephie whispers softly, craning her neck to get a better view.** LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO wait no what if its bad…

**It’s Paige.** BRO WHERE HAVE YOU BEENNNN, atleast it aint clementine or sumshit (ik her name I just dont wanna say it) thats something to be greatful for

**It isn’t until Stephie hesitates, coming to a halt just a couple of meters away from Paige,** NOOO I THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA REUNITE💔

**Azzi feels Stephie’s hand slip away from her own and the little girl almost stumbles over her own feet as she races towards Paige, the older woman’s arms immediately opening to catch her and as she kneels down to pull Stephie into her her chest. It’s like the blonde’s confession had broken a dam, and the water that came rushing through it, had washed away the last little bit of pretence of nonchalance that Stephie had been holding onto.** STOP CAUSE WHY DID THIS GIVE ME INSANE AMOUNTS OF JOY

**“but I know- I know we could cov-ince her because Miss Buecks, Mama’s missed you so, so, so much too.”**

Me when I ask a stupid question that requires common sense: **Has she?” Paige asks,**

**Paige slowly tucks a strand of hair behind the child’s ears as she shakes her head, “no.”** Do NOT PLAY W ME BUECKERS

**“N-no?” Stephie’s bottom lip trembles at the rejection, “why not? Why can’t we go to New York with you?”** I KNOW PAIGE REGRETTED THAT WORDING WHEN SHE SAW THAT BOTTOM LIP TREMBLE

**“Because nobody’s going to New York, Stephie-bean,” Paige says firmly and Azzi’s eyes shoot towards the blonde, her lips parting slightly as she processes the meaning behind her words, her heart beginning to race with anticipation.** MHM FUCK NEW YORK AINT NOBODY GOING

**“It’s been almost three weeks-”**

**“It’s been two weeks, six days, five hours and around fourteen minutes,” Paige shrugs, a hint of a smile playing on her face, “give or take a few minutes.**

Tf are you a basketball player or a stopwatch pick (secret third option gay)

**“Well I’m an idiot,” Paige says matter-of-factly and Stephie snickers behind her, “you know me Az. Sometimes these things- they take me a little while to understand.”** DAMN THE SELF ROAST IS WILD I MEAN ATLEAST SHES AWARE?

**“how do I know you won’t run away again?”** Girl give it time,shes 32 her knees are NOT made of steel. You can catch her fleeing ahh.

**Paige chuckles, “well if uh- if they give me the chance, I think I’d listen to them for the rest of my life.”** CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE HOW SMOOTH THAT WAS?!?! PLAYER P IS SHININ THROUGH OR ULTIMATE RIZZLER PICK YOUR POISON.

**“I called the whole thing off,” Paige states nonchalantly,“I had Talia call Jonathan Kolb last night and I explained everything to Ohemaa this morning. Everyone’s on the same page. There is no deal anymore.”** AS U SHOULD🗣️🗣️

**“You called it off before even talking to me?” Azzi asks, knitting her eyebrows together, “you didn’t even know how this was gonna go.”** FINALLY OMG YES ILY NIVI, NEVER EVER DOUBTED YOU FOR A SECOND (lies)

**The words are barely out of Paige’s mouth before Azzi’s crashing into her, the weight of her body sending the blonde staggering back a few steps before her hands steadily secure themselves around the younger woman’s waist.** YES GAWD YES GAWD THANK YEWW.

**Stephie smirks triumphantly, “I figured it out myself Miss Buecks.”** Stephies a pazzi truther😭 dont worry stephie its cause we have something called common sense☺️

**Because now she finally has everything.** 

**Paige, Stephie, and the promise of a world the three of them can build together, it’s everything.**

AMAZING GIMME FOURTEEN OF EM RIGHT NEOW

GIMME THE FLUFFIEST FINAL CHAPTER OF P & A MARRIED AND A SECOND BEAN AND THIS SCENE YOU ANSWERED ABT W AN ANON:

“Omg I just realized when Pazzi gets married in GH, Azzi will be Paige’s ‘second wife’. Imagine how much she HATES that reminder that Olivia did it first 😂😂😭😭 I feel Jana would use that term a lot just to piss Azzi off 😂”

“For two weeks Jana has a scar right by her left eyebrow that she wears like a battle wound. Where did it come from? Well she made the mistake of making that joke during a team bar night and really Azzi didn't meant to throw the glass, she was just so drunk, it kind of...slipped.” NEED THIS WRITTEN BADDD

-🕸️🌊anon (moral of the story nivi is nice SOMETIMES)

LMAO I saw your ask right before this queen, so glad you got over your fear and just read it lol. Also to answer your question from that one, yes it is canon that they won the natty in 2025 (and 2026).

I BEAT THE DISCONTINUED ALLEGATIONS IKTR!!

I like to start off with the sharpest knife I can find tbh tee hee...

OKAY Y'ALL IT WAS DINNER WITH AN OLD FRIEND SHE HAD TO GO TO BE POLITE (she was not in fact polite during but oh well semantics)

Imagine a 🕸️ with tiny legs stomping...

I like that everything is in caps lock so this entire review feels like someone yelling at me which I'm pretty sure was your intention

LMFAO you said *SKIP* thanks lol

She saw a couple being sickeningly cute and got a taste of her own medicine fr fr

UM NO AZZI I THINK YOU MEAN “NIVI STOP-“ - okay but if I stopped we would've never gotten to the next part...

LMFAO you just know Stephie fumes every time she goes to an away game and anyone has the audacity to boo Paige or Azzi during freethrows she's their #1 defender

THEN PAIGE IS GONNA CHANGE TRAJECTORY OF THE WORLD FOR YOU HONEY SIMPLE AS THAT JUST ASK HER. - real actually

Well Paige does call her Clementine at some point so you're not far off (she's also in Atlanta but I digress)

KNOW PAIGE REGRETTED THAT WORDING WHEN SHE SAW THAT BOTTOM LIP TREMBLE - like she said, she's a little bit of an idiot

YOU GUYS NEW YORK IS COOL STOP SHITTING ON NEW YORK

CAN WE TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE HOW SMOOTH THAT WAS?!?! PLAYER P IS SHININ THROUGH OR ULTIMATE RIZZLER PICK YOUR POISON. - I mean I wrote the line so like who's really the ultimate rizzler?

FINALLY OMG YES ILY NIVI, NEVER EVER DOUBTED YOU FOR A SECOND (lies) - damn y'all trust me even less than Paige trusted Azzi...

AMAZING GIMME FOURTEEN OF EM RIGHT NEOW - you're getting exactly one more

LMFAO idk if that's gonna fit into my vision for part 15 but mayhaps I'll add it in as a throaway scene somehow lol.

“I’m just sayin’, wouldn’t wanna be you on judgment day. And considering the amount of blood on you, that’s coming pretty soon.” He motioned to her injuries.

She grit her teeth and sneered, pulling back.

“OR,” He looked at his nails, circling around her slowly.

“You can accept my offer. You wanna @$%&@# die a nobody? Or you wanna do something to actually matter?” 

-------------------

You can read the rest of the chapter on A03!

Thank you again @deadgirlwalking91 for ALL your help! I seriously couldn't have done this without you and I am SO PROUD of this fic! I hope you all enjoy it too!

As with all my arts the characters belong to their original creators, I am simply having a good old time drawing them. ;D

[waitmyturtles]

In this edition of FUCK, THINGS GOT REEEEEEEAL GOOD: Step By Step, episode 9 thoughts:

First off:

THANK GOD THAT BABY IS OKAY, BUT I'D LIKE A FOLLOW-UP UPDATE ON THEIR HEALTH, PLEASE.

I'm a mom. A slightly traumatic birth scene in a BL! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I'm talking with @lurkingshan about this, but I'm going to leave the timeline issues of the pregnancy to the real SBS experts. If the baby was OKAY and CRYING after a traumatic labor like that, my mom spidey sense says the baby was likely 34 weeks or above. Otherwise, that would more of a real emergency situation, with the need for a very sterile environment, and a really fast, emergency transport to a hospital and a NICU. (Also, around 34 weeks is when moms are advised to not be far from a hospital -- at least in the States -- in the case of this emergency onset birth situation, so that's what's leading to my guess about Ae.) Again, this means that the show may have made a big-ass timeline jump, and I don't think I'm expert enough to apply that to Pat and Jeng, so I'm gonna leave that alone.

Also, at THAT stage of pregnancy, late and belly-dropping.... yeah. Maybe a short stop on a bus can induce labor. We have a family member whose labor was induced when she tripped from a bus. (Real quick education, family: if someone around you breaks water, GET THEM TO A HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY if you can, the risk of infection SKYROCKETS after water breaks.)

Okay. Give me babies and I give you mom. Let me step away from that for a second to say:

The show FINALLY GOT GOOD, for my tastes.

Tee Bundit got an editor. We got CRISP dialogue. SMART writing. The episode fit what it needed in its runtime. That's all I was asking for, dear Tee.

We got words. We got real descriptions about boundaries. We got real resistance to CROSSING those boundaries. We got meditations on how to DEAL with those boundaries. We saw Jeng RECOGNIZING that those boundaries are preventing Pat from coming to Jeng intimately, and that Jeng HAS A RESPONSIBILITY to DEAL with those boundaries, instead of ONLY leading with his heart, in a difficult boss-employee situation. We got Jeng managing his heart, yes, but also DEALING ACTIVELY with being PROFESSIONAL as well, and recognizing that he has to STEP AWAY from his role as Pat's superior. GOOD, JENG.

We have Pat still Pat-ing. Pat's like, I'm not gonna date my boss, but also, he liiiikkkeess meeee? He's too good for meeeeeee! PAT, jesus. Thank you, Jen, for working on dusting off our guy. (@lurkingshan, I was literally JUST writing this, lol.)

But also, thank gawd -- at least we have PAT SPEAKING UP and using his words. Like an adult. (?!) And -- being EMPOWERED to USE his words by his WONDERFULLY COMMUNICATIVE PARENTS! So, now we see that Pat, while raised in a sad environment with the separation of his parents, is actually attuned to..... talking and using his words regarding his emotions! We know and see that he can do it -- because his parents can do it, and therefore modeled that behavior for him. (Amarin Nitibhon, great dad in 10 Years Ticket, great dad in Step By Step, keep being a great dad!)

But Pat's still gotta keep Pat-ing, and he's still confused, and... what? He's surrounded by snacks and might need the further reflection of another older adult in Jeng to get deep in his feelings.

I don't know if my read is accurate on this. Is Pat the kind of person that NEEDS people around him to help him reveal his complicated feelings to himself? I think so. He's a young adult, kind of overwhelmed by everything going on, his sister dropped a baby in public (HE'S AN UNCLE NOWWWWWWW) --

Homeboy is GROWING UP. Step by step? Maybe the point of this show is that you don't grow up as well in this world, step by step, without leveraging your family and community around you as best as you can. I like that read, but I don't know if it's accurate yet.

I'm gonna leave the rest of the meta to the real SBS experts. Thank gawd the baby was born okay, but I'm gonna need an update. If Tee Bundit gives me breastfeeding in the next episode, I WILL give him flowers in Thailand, FOR REAL. Come awn. Don't stop at birth! It'll be a good excuse to show SOME body parts -- maybe not the ones we expect, though, ha.

And we get funsies with Pat and Jeng, finally, next week?! Let's motherfucking go.

EDITING TO ADD: Any moms out there watching SBS? I need fellow moms to laugh/cry/emote at all that childbirth stuff with.

GO READ THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR RIGHT NOWWWWWWW!!!!!

(before scrolling any more on tumblr cause I definitely just reblogged some spoilers)

DO IT NOW ONLY LIKE 200 PAGES

[j0kers-light]

Hi hi 🫶🏻

So I'm reading His Lighthouse on A03 & got a tad confused when reading through the choices 12&3 chapters. After going through comments & back through the chapters, I got more confused thinking I missed something, so I switched to looking at them on tumblr & Choices part 1 & 3 are different on there but in A03 Choices 1 & 3 are the same chapters? Or am I missing something? Sorry for the ask, it's it no way meant to come off in the wrong way I just get confused easily and wasn't sure ♡

NO BECAUSE BLESS YOU @jaysmentalspace ! The way I scrompt and woke up my household. They thought something had happened UH YEAH A WRITER’S WORST NIGHTMARE!!!

“Sorry I died a painful death go back to sleep!”

I don’t know HOW I managed to update the wrong flipping chapter but it has since been resolved and nowwwwwww I’m paranoid and I gotta check everything. It was purely a mistake since I cross post on Tumblr, A03, and Wattpad. Ya girl is shaking rn

Guess I have homework now.

[carletes]

Hello it’s 2am and I need all you ppl who like tsor/my writing to go read A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland NOWWWWWWW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!!!

Deep Night Ep 4 Thoughts

I…took the day off of work for *cough cough* personal reasons. Don’t worry about it I’m only a little sick this time. I’ll be better tomorrow. I think. So since I am not working today, it’s time for Deep Night 4: Cuteness Galore

I mean it when I say this show is so unbelievably wholesome. I was told it was surprisingly communicative but the difference between believing and seeing it with my own eyes is insane. 

I wish I could read Thai. I do not know what is being said. 

Poor Khem just wants to spend time with his boyfriend but is being horrendously and adorably teased.

I love Pan. In case I haven’t said that a million times already.

I love how often these two kiss. They’re simply like “my boyfriend exists? I must kiss him” and sometimes its just a little peck on the cheek and sometimes its a full on make out but no matter what they want their lips on their man and I love it. 

Two people keeping snacks for you? Seiji is living the dream. 

My coworker just texted to say our friendship is over because she has to do one of my tasks. Someone remind me to buy her a little treat tomorrow she’s my favorite person

Oooooo love triangle. Nowwwwwww kiss they will love each other eventually why not start now with a little smoocharoo

Who is this gorgeous woman with Freya? I have a rival? That’s okay. We all have two hands. 

Let them kiss damn it! YAY. I love when the show listens to my inner dialogue.

Actually plans cancelled. I cannot watch right now. There is a truck idling outside my apartment and its making the texture of the air WRONG. I feel like I need to peel my skin off.

Okay we’re back. Fucking trucks. 

Oooohhhh Khem throwing the club's rule at his mother. Then outing his own relationship? I did not see that coming. 

ENGLISH? And holy shit it’s soooo good????

I might be in love with Mr. DJ Man. What’s his name?

Oh jealousy is back. I actually love the jealousy in this show a whole lot. 

Pannnnn. He’s so cute. I adore him.

I love that everyone has just decided to ignore the club’s rules. They’re all dating. All of them.

Khem stop kissing him. Your boy is uncomfortable. Khem. Bro. I know you’re jealous but my man you gotta calm down. I hope he apologizes because he did go a bit overboard. 

IMMEDIATE self reflection. Good for you Khem. I love you. 

Someone give Seiji a hug. 

Honestly I’m not the biggest Ken fan. I’m waiting for him to grow on me. I’m sure he will like other characters. But I’m still waiting. 

Seiji having a Moment™

Oh I love Mr. DJ man. He is me. I am him. We are one.

Okay you two. Now talk it out. Use your words. 

Okay so I have some thoughts on that confrontation with guests. I know Khem is jealous but I don’t think that’s why he said Wela is unavailable. He has already reflected on himself and so far has not had an issue bringing guests to Wela. I think Khem actually has a very good gut instinct of guests that could be inappropriate or potentially dangerous. And he is very attuned to his instincts. So he listens to them. In terms of customer service, he still has some work to do on not escalating. However, he presented reasonable alternatives and I don’t think he was in the wrong here. Now let’s see if I got any of this right. 

Yeeeep. That guest has roving hands. Pan to the rescue. 

Lowkey I don’t think Khem is wrong but I also think Wela should punch him. 

Pan is so smart. I love him. Have I mentioned that in the past five minutes?

Why are the cops here again? Absolutely absurd.

I would be demanding the results of the investigation every single time they came and found nothing. 

Khem leave your mother alone. She needs support now not your misdirected anger.

Oh no are we about to end on sadboi hours? I guess I have no choice but to watch episode 5 now. 

[charmercharm3r]

Umm so ... I was reading 9th member stories and I came back with an Idea.

What about smat or dirty things 9th x Felix? Hm? Tell me your opinion !

hmm hmm hmm i think i wanna keep it cute n fluffy…for nowwwwwww… mayhaps some smut if things progress further as the drabbles go on!
