#I LOVE AMANDA OKAY AND SO SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE

[muirmarie]

spock with memory loss but not emotional memory loss. he can't remember anything since he left vulcan, but he looks at jim's and leonard's faces and he's like. hmm. i appear to be in love with both of these men. fascinating.

except. y'know. they are absolutely NOT together.

[hi hey have some absolute crack underneath the readmore]

mccoy being a ridiculous mother hen in sickbay and kirk running down from the bridge every hour on the hour all "UPDATE, BONES????" is not. is not helping spock's assumptions.

mccoy GRUDGINGLY allowing spock out of sickbay because lord knows there's some big thing happening and they need the beds, and spock doesn't need immediate medical attention, he just needs, y'know, a cure for the weird memory loss disease he's picked up. you heard me, this isn't amnesia, this is a weird space memory loss disease that mccoy is going to CURE, thank you very much.

he only allows spock out of sickbay if kirk keeps an eye on him. spock's like =/ when will you be joining us, doctor? and mccoy, not nearly as suspicious as he should be because he's so delighted that there's for ONCE a version of spock who actually appears to not be running away from medical, is like !!!!! once i'm sure everyone in sickbay is stable i'll come down to check on you!!!! i'll check on jim too!!! i'll run my scanner over everyone who will allow me to make sure they're okay!!!!! (jim: >=| i did not consent to this. bones: shut up idc i'm already scanning you.)

kirk takes spock back to kirk's quarters figuring they'll bunk together so he can keep an eye on him/make sure the space forgetfulness disease doesn't make him forget anything else.

spock's like. hmm. is this where we live? why don't we keep it warmer for me =/

kirk, oblivious doll that he is, is like yeah, all the quarters are like this, this is indeed where we live! isn't the enterprise the most beautiful ship there is!! also i am so sorry let's crank this place up to a sauna asap

meanwhile spock is sleepy what with the space forgetty sickness but he's like. determined to wait until their bf joins them so they can sleep in a cuddle pile. it seems polite. he's pretty sure he'd be a polite bf. amanda would definitely want him to be a polite bf. plus he feels certain that he needs to make sure the doctor gets some sleep after working non-stop in sickbay. like. that feels like that should somehow be his and jim's responsibility. that feels right.

bones shows up two hours later with his tricorder and even darker circles under his eyes than normal, and is like all right, time to check on my favorite patient <3 (he's still not used to spock not snarking back at him, and is more than a little =/ when spock just sparkles a bit instead of slamming him with an insult, tbh)

spock and jim get a clean bill of health (beyond, y'know, the space-nesia), and mccoy's like, all rightie, i'll be back in the morning to check on you!!! tell me immediately if anything changes!! i should go back to sickbay and check on things

spock: =( what.

mccoy: i need to keep an eye on everything in sickbay

kirk: no he's right you need to get some rest, bones. the on-duty staff will keep an eye on everything, but you've been going non-stop between spock and this new thing

mccoy: i'll grab a nap in my office don't worry

spock: =(((((((

mccoy: ...spock why are you holding onto my wrist. spock why are you - spock why are you dragging me over to the bed. spock - jim why are you laughing

kirk: i mean it is an effective solution

spock: i have the space forgetties and i can't even sleep with my boyfriends????? illogical.

mccoy: ......

kirk: hmm.

mccoy: ????? hmm???? HMMM???? IS THAT ALL YOU GOT????

kirk: i mean, it does sound illogical when he puts it like that

mccoy: ????? i don't know what the two of you have going on on the downlow, but i'm not dating spock. spock, i'm not dating you.

spock: no, no i definitely love you both, so it would be extremely illogical for us not to be dating, and i am, above all else, logical, so ipso facto we must be dating. it's far more likely you just don't want to say we're dating because you'd feel like it would be a shock to my blank slate brain. occam's razor.

mccoy: we're - we're definitely not dating

spock: hmmm jim i am worried that leonard may also have the space forgetty disease.

kirk: bones, just sleep here tonight, it's not a big deal

mccoy, slightly strangled, because he is extremely in love with these two men and this is a bizarre situation even for them: JIM, I -

spock, aggressively laying in the center of the bed and then trapping mccoy next to him by sheer strength and mccoy's surprise, and unfortunately, having pegged mccoy within 5 minutes of meeting him again, saying: what if the space forgetty disease makes me worse during the night and my doctor bf isn't even here to help me =/

kirk: [unhelpfully giggling]

mccoy: gdi why would you say that now you know i can't leave - this isn't you winning this is me GRACEFULLY changing my mind and we are NOT dating and if you use this forced snuggling against me when i ONCE MORE SAVE THE DAY and figure out a CURE to FIX your STUPID VULCAN MIND then i will -

kirk: [leaning over and kissing bones' forehead to shut him up and then walking around the other side of the bed and getting in next to spock] you forgot the key word, there, bones

mccoy, visibly restraining himself from frothing with rage: what.

kirk: yet, bones. we're not dating yet.

Camping w/ Saw Characters

Characters included: John Kramer, Amanda Young, Mark Hoffman, Lawrence Gordon, Adam Stanheight. Plus, me and Y/N (because I said so)

Warnings: none, except mentions of smoking, getting hurt?? Idk

Notes: Reader is gender neutral and everything is platonic. Even our relationships with each character (unless otherwise stated in other fics I may write)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

John Kramer: I personally feel like John really enjoys the outdoors and seeing as though we see him chilling on a park bench, sketching his traps 24/7, I feel like he’d really enjoy it. Loves the peacefulness except when everyone (Amanda and Mark) are fighting. Definitely fishing at 7am. Struggling because he may or may not have to sleep on the ground. We definitely bought peepaw as many blankets and sleeping bags as possible. He gets cold so easily, bless his heart. Wants to enjoy the hiking trails but, can’t because he’s either in his wheelchair at this point or it’s just a struggle for him in general. (Mad at me because I complained about my knee the entire time even though I’m perfectly fine.) definitely giving Y/N a lesson on the outdoors.

Lawerence Gordon: Didn’t really want to come but he was sorta forced to. Definitely the group’s medic. Lecturing everyone on where they should and shouldn’t step. Pissed because Adam keeps smoking even in the non smoking areas like the woods where there’s been really bad wildfires. Adam does not care though. Dr.Gordon helped pitch everyone’s tent and tried to tell me and Y/N how we could easily pitch our tents but we didn’t listen. He actively carries the first aid kit literally everywhere. This man also had to pull me out of the fishing creek because I slipped on some rocks and nearly fell in. (He and Adam are sharing a tent shhhh ❤️)

Amanda Young: A little less than thrilled to be here. It’s cold and wet. Plus she had better things to do. Constantly at John’s side making sure he’s not too cold and that he’s enjoying himself. Pitched her own tent and probably is sleeping in it by herself unless Y/N wants to share it. Stays up all night worrying about peepaw and maybe other campers (or bears) Definitely one to tell the darkest, scariest, goriest story at the campfire. Is she fighting with Mark the entire time? Oh yeah probably. Is she yelling at me the entire time? Yes. Is Y/N telling her about their nature knowledge (if that’s your hyperfixations) Yes. Amanda definitely wants to go home but she’s sticking it out for peepaw.

Mark Hoffman: (My favorite camping headcannon to write lmao) Complaining about pitching the tents because no one else can apparently. Honestly would rather die than be out here but, he’s making the most of it. Yes, we do have his ass grilling, why wouldn’t we? It’s his job now. Did we make him make the fire? We did actually. Watched me fall off the rocks and into the creek and did not care. Thought it was funny, wished I had drown. Y/N is the only one who he isn’t mad at (congratulations!). Yet. Secretly enjoys the camping but won’t say anything about it. Probably sleeping in a tent by himself. (Maybe Y/N is sharing it with him?) I have decided that this man physically cannot stand me and that’s okay.

Adam Stanheight: This man has been chain smoking since we got here. Obviously taking as many pictures as he physically can. OF EVERYTHING!!! Tried to help Lawerence set up the tent but got bored. Almost started a forest fire but felt instantly bad. Definitely got a lecture from it. Sits at the fire and makes s’mores. Watched me burn myself trying to roast marshmallows and laughed at me (I deserved it, trust me). Loves the outdoors actually and he’s thrilled to be there. Like a little squirrel running around with his camera ❤️😭✌🏻 Y/N is forcing him to take cute little selfies of them with trees and mountains. We’re hanging up the Polaroids all over the place. We’re gonna look so aesthetic, trust me xoxo

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Notes: This was quickly made and probably shitty but, just bare with me lol this is my first one and I love it. I think it’s funny. A lot of this was pulled from my actual camping trip at the beginning of the month. I hope y’all enjoyed and feel free to request stuff! I love you guys!

[shesmore-shoebill]

we've talked about the scenarios where angela would lose her composure at seeing amanda (s&b outfit and billion dollar gf dress as examples) in the rpf world we've collectively built, but now i wanna know what specific scenarios about angela amanda would completely lose her cool/have a reaction from? (raspy voice like in the tapple video? seeing angela's tattoo? could be anything!)

Oh, fucking love this question, thank you for it. Lets see.

2 things: 1 Eternal disclaimer about this all being in RPF universe/my own hc's about characterization I've decided on, not the actual people. And 2 This is not an exhaustive list of the ways I think this could go/the only ways these can work, Im just tossing out fun options that come to mind that I find internally consistent.

Okay logistically, anything to make Amanda uncharacteristically lose her shit over Angela has to be at least slightly uncommon/unexpected. So as much as I'd like to say something like "Angela in a tank top /sleeveless shirt", stuff that happens regularly needs to have an extra edge to it to explain Amanda losing it this time and not the rest of the time. Or at least losing it more.

So that said:

- Raspy voice is so fucking fun, yes please. So much potential...

One possible route is Angela loses her voice semi-regularly (unfortunately) due to starkid and moon goon and also just regular yelling, and maybe Amanda thinks she's used to it, (and normally tries to offer her honey or checks to make sure she's fine). But she's used to Angela's being voice completely gone, and one day her voice is more raspy/rough instead of being gone gone, and Amanda's normal affectionate concern is completely bowled over by her 😳😳😳 reaction to it, because oh fuck. OR, Amanda is used to the raspy voice (so she thinks), but Angela makes a sex joke or a flirty joke In That Voice and Amanda is SLAMMED by the thought of the same comments/voice in a VERY different context and Completely Ceases To Function. Bonus if its on camera/during a shoot of some kind so Angela notices the initial reaction and plays it up for the bit and Amanda is just. Not volleying it back properly. Or is volleying it back with WAY too much energy and everyone else is in the room like. 😶👀. The tapple video... the tapple video with all tge sex jokes and angela's voice being gone could be a VERY fun starting point for a fic.

- Once again falling back to the thing I've been gleefully chattering about. Amanda being flustered by Angela being the one to initiate/flirt. Angela being really forward/aggressive with flirtation, or bring Very assertive with her flirting, or just. Commanding. I think Angela flirting aggressively when she's all decked out in some ridiculous costume or putting on a goofy voice or leaning into the absurdity is something Amanda is used to/can handle. But, lets say, Angela not in a completely ridiculous character, or Angela playing a character thats only a mildly exaggerated version of herself, and being very forward/flirtatious/assertive towards Amanda. And for Amanda its suddenly like Oh fuck oh god oh shit . Because it doesn't feel like a ridiculous character like Angelo or some mustachio'ed old man being horny, it feels like Angela leaning in and oozing confidence and dropping petnames and it should NOT be working on her but it VERY MUCH IS. So much potential. Sooo fucking funny.

- Angela dressing up hot. I haven't sorted out the most fun consistent headcanon I want for this but IF we were to lean into Angela not dressing up as often I think its. So fun. To have the alternate dynamic of Angela dresses up hot for an event (Shourtney engagement party?) and Amanda sees her and nearly fucking swallows her tongue and her self control falls out of a fucking window. I know that's the go-to Angela flustered by Amanda dynamic but I think it could be fun the other way too. 👀

- This might be. me. lmfao. shining through but if we went the tattoo route we could also go an Arms™ route.... tank top Angela.... I'd have to think about it, to explain why it ESPECIALLY gets to Amanda, and maybe the tattoo is why.

- If we want to lean into the more explicitly spicy options and kind of mirror the S&B Angela flustered headcanon..... Angela shows up wearing something like a choker or something and Amanda. finds herself thinking. Many things. Many many things.

- This idea has JUST come to me so I havent thought through the logistics of it yet but. Angela showing up with a hickey or something and Amanda should be professional and normal about it but. But. But. (this could be very funny, very horny, or angsty! Or all three!)

Pausing here bc this is getting long. But. I fucking love thinking about the hc's for this, thanks for this ask. and HEY HAPPY PRIDE lmfao.

A New Line Between Us

AO3 Link

Never did Angela wish for a bit, a sketch, something fictional to be reality, until Amanda.

Tags: one-sided feelings, unrequited love, platonic! changela, angst

Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a representation of those in Smosh, rather a fan made perspective on the characters they portray online. Nor is it a commentary on their feelings, their dynamic, or who they are as people. Remain respectful.

Word count: 2,670

Perhaps she should've been more careful. Maybe she should've drawn the line earlier, before any of this. Maybe she should've seen this coming from a mile away, because upon hindsight, it was obvious. It wasn't ever something that was subtle. She has always been close to Amanda, in a way that was different from anybody else. Yet, despite all of that, it was still completely shocking to her.

This couldn’t be happening. There was just no way she actually fell for Amanda. I mean it’s not like it’s hard to, rather Angela never actually thought she would. There were many bits where they were just in love with each other, or attracted to each other in some way. None of those were reality and would never amount to what reality is.

There were TNTL bits where they just sang about loving each other or having some prior relationship. Hell, they've played a married couple three times. Yet, with all of those times it was nothing but a joke. It was nothing but acting. Angela knew that, she knew that full well.

So the moment her heart raced faster than it should. The moment her heart longed for more. The moment she felt drawn to Amanda as if they were magnets. She knew full well she was doomed. She knew there was no denying it.

That's what led her to a green room by herself, cramped in a corner, hiding her from the world. It was a break from everything and everyone except for her own thoughts. Where those alone were tiring and draining enough. All she wanted was a moment of peace, something that seemed so hard in a workplace that was always so active.

She didn’t have any upcoming shoots today, most of it being in the morning. All that was left on her agenda was a meeting in an hour and a photo shoot. Angela glanced at the door from behind as she heard footsteps nearby. Not long after Chanse opened the door, calling out her name, before smiling as he saw her hunched up figure. He walked towards her and Angela looked away, positive that her face would expose more than she was willing.

"What are you doing here?" Chanse frowned. "Some of us are chilling on the Reddit stories set." He gently tapped Angela's shoulder, urging her to get up. "Come on, Ange. You're not going to start being antisocial today."

Angela mustered a smile, appreciating Chanse's gesture. "I'm good over here." She waved him off. "Don't worry about me."

He paused, letting out a sigh, before collapsing himself right next to Angela. "Okay, come on. What's wrong, Ange?"

"What?" She asked. Her voice was higher than usual as she looked at him in surprise. "Nothing is wrong."

"I'm your best friend. I know you." He glanced at her briefly. "Just talk to me."

Angela groaned. She put her knees to her chest, not minding her shoes that were on the couch. "Am I really that obvious?"

"Kind of," he said. "But I don't think that's a bad thing. Just tell me what's on your mind." He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her in for a side hug. "I've been a bit worried about you recently, Angela."

"I guess I've just been distracting myself a bit more often," she shrugged off, her voice coming out in a murmur.

"From what?" He paused. "Is everything okay?"

Angela took a deep breath, willing the feelings she's been holding in to come out. She might as well, rather sooner than later. The feelings she had come to realise a few days ago, with them only growing stronger and stronger by the day.

"I've been distracting myself from Amanda," she whispered. The moment the words left her mouth she felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders. "I just need to get away from her for a bit."

"Amanda?" He repeated in a whisper. "That's rare. Is everything okay between you two?" He paused, finding his voice as he glanced at Angela, knowing she'd fail to meet his gaze. "I know you two have that kind of flirty dynamic during shoots. Is it starting to become uncomfortable?"

Angela instantly piqued up at those words. "No. No. God no," she repeated. "She's not making me uncomfortable." If anything Angela was scared she'd make her uncomfortable. Even if Amanda is the one to usually initiate their flirty dynamic during shoots.

"Okay, so," he bit his lip. "What is this actually about, Angela?" He could feel under his hand the moment she stiffened at his words. "You can tell me anything. I hope you know that."

Angela let out a shaky breath as her hands grasped tightly onto her knees. Usually when she had feelings for someone it'd be followed by joy, the moment of happiness that would rush to every bone in her body. Yet, with Amanda, it was different. It was panicked dread, because from the beginning she knew she had no chance.

Her mouth opened and closed, as she tried to find the right words to say. It felt as if the moment she spoke it aloud, she'd have to accept it and it'd all be true. Grounding her to the present was Chanse's hand, as he reached down to squeeze one of her hands.

She'd be okay. It will all be okay.

Angela took a deep breath, closing her eyes as she sank deep into the pits of feelings that pulled at her heartstrings. "I like her," she confessed, her words cracking underneath all the pressure.

Then, as if the floodgates opened, she continued talking. Her words came off in a rushed ramble as everything she kept inside, bottled up, broke apart. Only further did she break, as Chanse pulled her into a hug, letting her forehead rest on his shoulder.

"I did the one thing I swore to myself I wouldn't do and I ended up liking her," she continued on. "God, I fucking hate this Chanse. These- these feelings they're literally stupid. I wasn't supposed to like her. I wasn't supposed to take any of it seriously."

As Chanse squeezed her she could only sink herself deeper into his touch, crying harder as a sob wrecked past her throat. He wasn't congratulating her, cheering for her, or teasing her. They both knew it was nothing but a hopeless crush that was doomed to go nowhere. She was married. They were best friends. Those were just the facts of life. All she could do right now was accept it. Where even though accepting it was easy, acting like her heart didn't long for Amanda was something else.

-

It’s been a week since she told Chanse and since then things have started to become easier. If she needed to talk about it, she would. It was a much needed comfort she needed especially with how long she kept it bottled up.

Shoots with Amanda were second nature, and something both of them grew to expect when it came to a typical week. Angela still acted naturally around her, something that she thought she’d struggle with more but she didn’t. Feelings that she compartmentalised for later was something that she was used to, so her feelings for Amanda were always easy to not dwell on when on camera. After all, she was an actress, they were on camera, it was a part of her job.

Though, something that Angela hated, was how easily Amanda made her forget. When in the moment with her by her side she made her forget it all. She forgot the hard crushing feelings that weighed in her heart, and everything seemed almost weightless. Jabs, bits and mindless teasing between them came out easily. It was never something she had to worry or stress about. They had boundaries, they talked about a lot of lines not to cross nor joke about and they respected it. That’s what made their dynamic forever growing as they got to know each other more. Things they’d never do one day could be natural the next, and it all relied on their communication.

Yet, life is forever changing and it is only natural for things to change when something in the dynamic starts to shift. She first started to realise that when something that was once natural, a complete joke between them, began to bother her. Even if it was just a little.

They were live on camera for Smosh games, in a table surrounded by a couple of their cast mates. Angela was at the left end of the table next to Amanda. With them was Courtney, Spencer, Chanse, and Tommy. They were playing a simple card game, meant to get to know each other, with a wheel behind them displaying ticket goals for another live show.

It was Amanda’s turn, a card asking her about her soulmate or whatever. Admittedly, Angela forgot, as soon as Amanda said her name. She forgot her question after a few jokes left her mouth. All she could do was smile and nod, watching as the world passed her by.

Before she could even start to compartmentalise and ground herself, Amanda moved towards her. She could feel one of Amanda's hands on her shoulder, the other reaching to cup her jaw. She could feel as her personal space was being prodded at, her heart thundering against her chest. Then she moved closer, her face going towards her before turning to her side. Never once letting her lips make contact.

Christ, she just had to do a fake kiss bit right now.

Angela could feel the shiver that rushed up her spine as she stiffened at the contact. Then, as soon as Angela reacted, Amanda pulled away.

She played off the joke with a laugh, glancing at Angela to meet her gaze. Angela failed to look at her entirely, grasping at the chair to put herself back to reality. Then, as soon as it happened, as soon as she was distracted, she was back in it.

Angela ignored the way her heart pained as Amanda asked if she was okay with her eyes alone. She ignored the way her heart beat could be felt so clearly, when she reached over for Amanda's hand underneath the table. She squeezed her hand briefly, as if to tell her everything was okay, then pulled back. All she could do was sit there, and let the emotion that lingered fester. The emotion that wanted nothing more than for a bit they did on occasion, to hold some truth to reality.

And for a brief second she was brought back. She was brought back to before she developed feelings. She was brought back to the first time Amanda asked about her boundaries for the kissing bit.

-

“Hey Ange,” Amanda called over as she walked over. “I’m just checking. I didn’t make you uncomfortable earlier, did I?”

“What do you mean?” Angela asked, squinting at Amanda briefly.

“The whole fake kiss thing,” she explained. “Kinda the first time we did that sort of bit, so I just want to make sure.”

“Oh.” Angela said, as if remembering the bit that happened. “No, no you didn’t make me uncomfortable,” she said, reassuring Amanda. “Don’t worry about it, you’re okay.”

“Okay. Good.” Amanda smiled. She put a hand on Angela's shoulder. “I thought I made you uncomfortable there. I probably should've discussed the bit with you beforehand, sorry about that.”

Angela shook her head. “There's no need to apologise, but I appreciate it. Thanks.” She smiled up at Amanda, letting herself be pulled into a brief hug. “Besides, if I was uncomfortable I'd probably just push you away and play it off as a joke.”

“Noted,” she chuckled. “Just make sure to ever tell me if something I do as a bit makes you uncomfortable.”

“That goes both ways Amanda.”

-

She had to tell her she crossed a line. Even if it's a line that was already crossed before. Angela just knew it was bound to happen eventually, given her feelings. The boundaries they had before would inevitably change. Things that were once normal or welcomed wouldn't be anymore, simply because Angela's feelings changed.

Whether it be because Angela needed to get over some feelings, or because she feared making Amanda unknowingly uncomfortable. It all just felt so wrong. As if the bit of them being together or something more was something Angela was getting some enjoyment out of. Even if she didn't. Even if she never dared initiate it. It all felt so wrong when something was once a bit, held more truth to it than Amanda would ever know.

Almost as if Amanda knew it was coming she approached her first after the shoot. She hadn't even bothered to bid the rest of the cast a proper goodbye like usual, obviously very focused on making sure Angela was okay. The crew was currently packing up the cameras, Amanda and Angela staying in a faraway corner. That alone made Angela nervous, her heart beating against her chest out of anxiety alone.

Amanda hadn't even uttered a word before Angela spoke. Yet, as she saw her face, as she processed everything that happened, a thought remained in the corner of her brain. Regret. Nothing but regret for changing what they had. Nothing but regret for falling when she should've been careful in the first place. She didn't want their friendship to change. It just had to.

"Hey, about earlier," Angela hesitated, hating the way her voice cracked as she spoke. Her gaze lifted off the ground towards Amanda, she looked at her like she was so concerned.

It hurt. She shouldn't be looking at her like that. She shouldn't be making this harder than it should. Angela shook her head, letting out a shaky breath as she clenched her fists tightly. Upon looking down at her hands she already knew she'd see the crescent moon shaped indents on her light skin.

She gulped, her voice returning to her in a murmur. "Earlier when you fake kissed me, could you- maybe," she shakily breathed out, "Could you stop doing that?"

Angela's heart broke as she saw Amanda's eyes. The instant shot of panic that rushed through her showed through her voice. "Oh god," her voice cracked. "Fuck, I'm so sorry." She apologised, just about to reach out towards Angela but she stopped herself. "Did I make you uncomfortable?"

"No, no," Angela panicked. "You didn't." If anything she was scared of making her uncomfortable. “I don’t mind most of your contact, trust me, you know I’m a pretty touchy person too. Just-“ The words died on her throat as she failed to speak. She couldn't even fully meet Amanda's gaze as it seemed almost trained on the floor.

“Please just stop,” Angela whispered. She looked away, as if ashamed, and from the corner of her eye she could see Amanda. The way her face morphed into regret and shock. She knew she wanted to reach out. She knew she wanted to ask more. She knew full well Amanda wanted nothing more than to comfort Angela.

“Are you okay?” She asked in a whisper, her tone gentle as she stopped herself from putting a hand on her shoulder.

She didn't have to hesitate as Angela leaned into her touch, letting herself have one thing as she closed her eyes. She leaned closer into the contact, being pulled into a hug. She'd miss this.

“I'll be okay,” Angela mumbled out. She stopped herself from crying, refusing to let the tears fall at work. “I just need a moment.”

“Take as long as you need Angela,” Amanda said, pulling her closer. “I'm right here for you.”

Angela smiled bitterly at her words. For this certain thing, she couldn't be there for her. Then someday, when the time is right, and things start to seem less real, she'd tell her. Just not now, when all Angela wanted was to go back in time to before the feelings started.

"My waist"

This is going on, I haven't slept properly for days. The end result was a really fucking big comig out that people just stared at me. "Lando, I said I have a child... I also went through this, which you say is just the sentence of breaking up with you."

"You've said it a couple of times, Amanda... But the fact that my bottom hurts so much that I almost collapse wherever I am is the shit. Braxton-Hicks, you also said that the pain and bleeding are getting worse."

"I know and we agreed that if this continues, the girls will be born at 28 or 29 weeks. If you don't stress anymore. If it really isn't, we'll postpone it until the 31st or 32nd week."

He caressed me while I stood in front of the mirror with tears in my eyes and for the thousandth time I couldn't do anything with myself after the breakup. Loki said he'll help me through all this, but I wasn't alone and it all started from the beginning, I'm full of traces of abuse, I have suicidal thoughts and I don't want to talk to anyone who loves me.

"Come here, my dwarf who lives in a little mushroom house."

Amanda hugged me where you know, but I couldn't really understand her because of my tummy.

"I can't stand it without sobbing, but Loki was a bastard, everyone warned him, he was even kidnapped for half a day."

"Oscar?"

"I don't know if it's been a long time, but if that didn't happen with me, we wouldn't be able to talk here."

"Lando, Lando?"

I stood there in front of his door, you are here again, as always, as I usually do because he does not come out on time... Although now we are going separately, separately, we agreed without hysteria... In Barcelona, ​​he did not succeed in breaking the hysteria that we should go separately and that he asked for buttered bread with figs and elderberry jam for lunch he asked for asparagus with onion soup and cola apple pie and fried onions sprinkled with chocolate.

"Come on, don't rush, little friend."

I said in a whining voice, my favorite sneakers are on one foot and on the other, Amanda is currently raping the other, according to her, and I also think that my feet have lost two or three men's sizes since I was pregnant.

I calculated it, but that much is a bit much.

"Don't whine, come."

"What if these are my favorite shoes and my feet don't fit."

I stepped out in front of him and showed him my middle finger, between three big breaths and started towards the elevator.

"Lift seriously? From the second floor down. I came up the stairs on foot."

"Yes, elevator. I don't want to open a debate about this, come on."

"I lift with a good bass."

I started walking beside him angrily, then I pressed the call button about ten times and he slapped my hand and shook his head.

"Let the sponge wipe it off there." * in Hungarian.

"I don't understand, okay?" *in Spanish.

“Carlos come see this!!!”

"What Kevin?"

“What the? Poor Max."

I giggled to myself, something else was standing in the place of his car, it seems that they are bored...

"Lando, are you fucking okay?"

“you're in a very whiny mood."

"And Carlos, my shoes are too small for me."

"Is this your biggest problem?"

I hugged the poor man, but he pushed me away, I really didn't understand.

"My stupid teammate didn't want to go for a walk!!!! He thought I was a fucking dog!!!!! Oscar is an idiot!!!! I hate him!!!!"

"So far?"

"Not on a fucking staircase!!!"

"Maximum could only have been shoehorned in."

"Still a dick."

"Good to pick me up and carry me."

I did it, it was heavier than a bag of salt. We looked at each other, but he is my best friend and I just want to help him.

"Thanks, but is this how you carry me in?"

"Yeah mate."

He giggled girlishly in my arms, Lando was so cute and for the first time after the breakup. He looked at me, brought his face close and almost kissed me.

"Sorry, it wasn't nice, it's too romantic for me."

"No problem, we are like newlyweds on their honeymoon."

We giggled at this when we entered carefully and I quickly put it down and Lando caressed my face with his fingertips and we almost kissed again. I think the guy is in love with me.

Silent Trio as incorrect quotes

I got all of these from this generator.

Amanda: Why do you let me win when we race up the stairs? You’re the faster one.

Danny: Erm... it’s nice see your smile when you win!

Amanda: They're probably just staring at my ass, aren't they.

Michael: Yeah, probably.

Danny: Love is weakness and an evolutionary mistake.

Amanda: You are literally making a Valentine’s day card for Michael.

Danny, pointing their hot glue gun towards Amanda: You’re on thin fucking ice.

Michael: I dropped Danny.

Amanda: Michael, what the fuck.

Michael, gardening: Hey, can you bring me the hoe?

Danny: Yeah, sure.

*A few minutes later*

Danny: Here you go.

Michael:

Danny:

Amanda: Why am I here?

Danny: How do you tell someone that you wanna have sex with them in a polite way?

Michael: Excuse me Mx. Would you give me the honours of indulging in sexual activities with you?

Amanda: What the fuck is wrong with you two?

Danny: I apologize for saying 'fuck' in front of Michael.

Amanda: You just said it again.

Michael:

Danny: I am not a role model.

Amanda: Michael, get that hidious thing out of the living room, would you?

Michael: Danny, Amanda wants you to get out of the house.

Danny, texting Michael: Michael! Help I'm being kidnapped!

Michael: Where are you?

Danny: I'm with some strange person. In a car. Help.

Michael: I'll call Amanda.

Michael: Will you two shut up? Some of us are lonely.

Danny: Thank you all for coming.

Michael, wearing a hospital gown: When I heard you couldn't get laid, I dropped everything and came straight here.

Danny: Well, I couldn't imagine anyone else being part of the "Fuck Danny Task Force".

Amanda: Yeah, I interpreted that in a different way.

Michael: Why is everyone so obsessed with top or bottom? Honestly, I’d just be excited to have a bunk bed.

Danny:

Danny: I'm gonna tell them.

Amanda: Don't you dare.

Amanda: I like your top, Danny!

Michael: I have a name, you know.

Danny: *sighs* Why. Why are you like this.

*Amanda is comforting Michael*

Amanda: Stop crying because it’s over. Start smiling because Danny is someone else’s problem now.

Danny: sapnu puaS.

Michael: What??

Amanda: What language is that.

Danny: Turn your phone 180 degrees.

*Danny was removed from the groupchat*

Danny: Is there a cactus where your heart should be?

Amanda: What’s up your ass this morning!

Michael: *walks in* ...Hey.

Amanda: Hmm… nevermind.

Danny: WAIT NO!

Amanda: Yo dumbass, get over here.

Danny: Okay-

Michael: *gleefully runs past* I’m coming!

Danny, sadly: I thought... I was dumbass...

Michael: Hey, Amanda. Why did the chicken cross the road?

Amanda: To get to the other side?

Michael: You were supposed to say “I dunno, why?“

Amanda: Uh... fine. I don’t know. Why did it cross the road?

Michael: To get to the idiot’s house.

Amanda: ...Ok?

Danny: Hey, Amanda. Knock knock.

Amanda: No.

Danny: You were supposed to say “who’s there?”

Amanda: Fine... let’s get this over with. Who’s there?

Danny: The chicken.

Amanda:

Danny:

Michael:

Amanda: Listen here you little shits-

Danny: Look at the buns on that guy!

Michael: *lying on the floor, covered in hamburger buns*

Amanda: This is the comedy police! The joke's too funny!

Danny: I'm not going back to jail!

Michael: *lifting weights*

Danny: Wow… They’re so intense!

Amanda: I wonder what drives them.

Michael, internally: Oh I am going to be SO good at giving hugs.

Amanda, staring upwards: So, Danny broke up with me… haha…

Michael: Why are you looking up?

Amanda: I need to cry, but my foundation was 48 dollars!

Amanda: Without ugly, there would be no beauty in this world.

Michael: Thank you for your sacrifice, Danny.

Danny: Michael’s gonna kill me.

Amanda: No, they'll probably make me do it.

*The Squad using an Ouija board*

Amanda: Tell us… Is there a spirit in this house?

Spirit, through the board: YES.

Michael: Great! Rent is due on the first of the month.

Danny: Oh, and movie night is on Friday if you want to hang out.

Spirit: WAIT, WHAT—

Michael: So… I’ve seen you’ve been spending a lot of time with Danny recently.

Amanda: No, Michael, it's not what it looks like, I swear.

Michael: Oh really? So no reason for me to be jealous?

Amanda: No! You’re the only one for me.

Michael: Is that so?

Amanda: I promise! Danny and I are just dating, okay? They’re my partner.

Michael: So there are no best-friends-feelings involved?

Amanda: You are still my one and only best friend! They’re just the love of my life, nothing more!

Michael: But I’m still the platonic love of your life, right?

Amanda: Of course bro!

Michael: Bro...

Danny: What the-

Amanda, looking through their clothes: Has anyone seen my top?

Michael: Danny's in the kitchen.

Amanda: Norwegia. Is. Not. A. COUNTRY!

Michael: Then where are Norwegian people from!?

Danny: NORWAY!!

Danny: We need to open this locked door. Michael, give me your credit card.

Michael: Here.

Danny, pocketing it: Thanks. Amanda, break down the door.

Amanda: I’ve never asked someone out. How do you even do it?

Danny: Oh, what I do is, I look them up and down and I say: “Hey… how you doin’?”

Michael, scoffing: Oh, please.

Danny, to Michael: Hey, how you doin’?

Michael:

Michael: *giggles and blushes*

Michael: What's worse than a heartbreak?

Amanda: Stepping on a cat's tail and not being able to explain that you're sorry.

Amanda: Who do we know that has handcuffs?

Michael: Well Danny and I-

Danny: *elbows Michael*

Michael: ...wouldn't know.

Danny: When I was married, you know what Michael often said to me?

Amanda: Please stop sleeping with other people?

Amanda: Danny just insisted Michael and I remember a code word in case we’re ever confronted by their clone or a cyborg doppelgänger and we’re not sure which is the real them and which is the imposter.

Amanda: Some families have a fire escape plan, but not us.

Michael: So, how long have you and Amanda been together?

Danny: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Amanda and I are not together. No. No.

Michael: Really? Sixteen ‘nos’? Really?

Amanda, watching Michael and Danny from afar: Two Bros, Chillin in a hot tub. Five feet apart because they think they’re not gay, BUT THEY REALLY ARE-

Amanda: Danny and I got married!!

Michael: Don't share your personal problems with everyone.

Michael: Anyone else feel good when their brain releases a bunch of endorphins?

Amanda: Can't relate.

Danny: Why would my brain release a bunch of dolphins?

Danny: Michael, I’m afraid.

Michael: Just stay close to Amanda.

Danny: That's why I’m afraid.

Amanda: You are irrationally angry 365 days a year.

Danny: Well, that’s just your personal opinion, I don’t have anger issues. Do you guys think I have anger issues?

Michael: Well, I wouldn’t really call it an issue. An issue is something you can fix.

Danny: Pfft, you should meet Michael, they're such a tsundere.

Amanda: They... they just stabbed you.

Danny: So cute.

Danny: Sorry, who are you?

Michael: Oh, I’m Michael.

Danny: Oh yeah, I’ve heard about you from Amanda.

Danny: Are you their friend or something?

Michael: No.

Michael: I’m their therapist

Amanda: Did you take out Danny as I requested?

Michael: Danny has been taken out, yes.

Amanda: You have my grat-

Michael: It was a great restaurant.

Michael: We had a romantic candlelit dinner.

Michael: Danny proposed afterwards- we’re filing the wedding papers.

Amanda: What happened to Danny?

Michael: They died.

Amanda: They what?

Michael: They died, but they’re okay.

Amanda: …Can you please clarify?

Danny: Clarification is for the weak.

Amanda: Please pray for Danny.

Michael: What happened to them?

Amanda: Nothing, they’re just very stupid.

Amanda: Hey, what’s up?

Michael: The sky.

Amanda: No, I meant like, what are you doing?

Michael: Oh, Danny.

Danny: *highfives Michael* Nice!

Amanda: Hey, Danny, are you free on Friday? Like around eight?

Danny: Yeah.

Amanda: And you, Michael?

Michael: Umm... yes?

Amanda: Great! Because I'm not. You two go out without me. Enjoy your date!

Michael: Did they just-

Amanda: I'm gonna eat the chicken breasts!

Danny, snickering: Yeah, eat what you lack.

Michael, deadpanning at Danny: Then maybe I should order brains on delivery for you.

Amanda: I just had a long talk with Danny and Michael about hitting and now they are yelling “it’s my turn to perpetuate the cycle of violence” before hitting each other.

Michael: In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Amanda: Wasn’t Danny with you?

Danny: In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.

Amanda: WHO ATE MY BREAD?!

Amanda: I'M GOING TO FUCKING K-

Michael: I did?

Amanda: Kiss you and buy some more, you haven't been eating anything today Michael.

Amanda: *walks away*

Michael:

Michael: They're gone Danny.

Danny, coming out the closet with bread stuffed in their mouth: Twankh uh!

Danny: Amanda got into a fight.

Michael: That’s bad.

Michael:

Michael: Did they win?

Amanda: I honestly feel like some of our conversations here are almost word-for-word accurate to the generator.

Danny: Yup.

Michael: Maybe the generator is watching us.

Amanda: Wouldn't that imply this conversation will be added?

Amanda: ...

Amanda: Wait—

Danny: We need a diversion. I say Amanda gets naked.

Michael: No.

Danny: I could get naked.

The squad: NO!!!

Amanda: H-how do you ask someone out?

Danny: Well, first-

Michael: Don't ask them, they asked me out in a McDonalds parking lot.

Amanda: ...And you said yes?

Danny: Uh, I think I got your lunch. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘I am very proud of you. Love, Michael’*

Amanda: Oh yeah. I didn’t think this was for me. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘Be good. For the love of God, Please be good.’*

Amanda: *sucking on a popsicle*

Danny: Pfft, you practicing for when Michael gets here?

Amanda: *takes a huge ass bite out of the popsicle*

Danny: *Concern*

Danny: God, I love Amanda.

Michael: Yeah, you fucking better.

Amanda: What have you done with Michael?

Danny: Nothing. Why, do you think I should?

Michael: Why don't we just call it, "M.C. Donald's?"

Amanda: Because it just sounds like a stupid rapper's name.

Danny: It'd just be like- "Eyo, it's ya boy, M.C. Donald!"

Michael: What do people in relationships even do?

Danny: Care about someone with your whole heart and dedicate your life to making them happy.

Michael: Okay. Didn't ask.

Amanda: Asks question

Amanda: "Didn't ask"

Michael: Thanks for the play by play, Captain Fuck.

Amanda: You get turned back into a baby but you retain all your skills and memory, what do you do?

Danny: Eat a nickel.

Amanda: A reminder: You have retained all your skills and memories.

Michael: Eat a nickel.

Amanda: Ok.

Danny: I have locked Amanda in a cage designed by their own art. Oh, they have been well and truly hoist by their own petard.

Michael: Could you put it another way? I didn’t understand a word of that.

Danny: I’m blackmailing them.

Michael: Oh, happy days.

Michael: *heading out to see Amanda*

Danny: Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!

Michael: I think I crossed that line when I got a date.

Michael: Is letting someone win at chess sapiosexual bottoming?

Amanda: Can everyone in this godforsaken group please learn the skill called "Think Before You Speak"?

Danny: Ya know... it might be.

Michael: So, what’s Danny's type?

Amanda: Brown eyes, kind, oblivious, good sense of humor, turtle lover.

Michael: Sounds kind of like me. Too bad we’re just friends.

Amanda: Did I mention oblivious?

Michael: Yeah, why?

Amanda: Okay, just making sure.

These are ones weren't from the generator.

Amanda: why does all our food keep blowing up?

Amanda: Danny. Why does our food contain explosives?

Michael: because no one will ever believe you

Danny: you sick son of a bitch

Okay - a long rant ahead and some explanations.

I would also like to point out that what I'm about to talk about mostly concerns the Christian community and it may not be interesting to anyone else or would just lead to pointless arguments that I don't want to be a part of, so - read at your own discretion after the explanations.

EXPLANATION

Yes, you have probably all noticed that I haven't completely stopped indulging in Miraculous stuff, especially after this post, and the reason is - I am simply enjoying (or have been doing so up till now) the concepts, the fan art and the never used possibilities and lost potential of the show and its characters. Which leads me directly to the second part of this post.

TO THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY WITHIN MIRACULOUS LADYBUG FANDOM

Yesterday, I gave this vid a watch and discovered something I wished I knew from day one of this show.

Among all the good points, something really struck me, and it was this:

.... Look.

I know Thomas Astruc is an atheist (or however he defines himself) and that he's a very anti-religious person - but this is downright offensive.

So, what I wanted to bring to attention.... was that this show really isn't just some goofy fantasy x sci-fi mix that doesn't delve into religion or myths - but that that is far from the truth.

Miraculous goes directly into everything and reshapes it to the viewing pleasure of people who have no religious beliefs whatsoever and are, like it's creator, of a mindset that it's all just nonsense, thus disrespecting culture and faith of humongous groups of religious communities.

As an (Orthodox) Christian, I can't talk much about people of other faith, though I know there were also big problems with the Muslim communities. Because of that, I am just going to stick to what I'm capable of concluding.

... You know, we all have the right to believe whatever we want to believe in. If atheistic people don't want to believe in anything, that's their choice. But spitting in the face of absolutely everyone who is of different opinion, especially through a worldwide known show (and directed at kids, to make matters worse) is definitely not alright. We have the right to choose our faith as much as any other individual and absolutely no one should be allowed to say that we should keep to ourselves as some kind of 'minority' and let the 'majority' take over, because they're right since there's a bigger number of them.

Speaking up about something negative within a certain religious community that affects everyone is one thing - telling them to shut up altogether is another.

If you think I am blowing things out of proportion with this.... do a little research on Astruc's X (formerly Twitter). I kid you not when I tell you that I have practically quoted him in the last line of the paragraph above my previous one. Amanda does the same in her video as well.

But what am I really getting at here with this post?

I wanted to send out a warning to fellow Christians that are watching the show and to boost up the awareness to this problem.

Literally... all the problems I've been having with the show for the past two years come down to this. The way the characters are treated, the direction the show is taking... everything. If I had known about the creators' opinions on this topic I would have seen disappointment a mile away, and it never would have affected me as bad as it did.

I stopped drawing for a whole year for crying out loud! And I've seen during that period that many people are absolutely unaware of what is lurking behind the curtains. The show is meant to take you to a certain point of viewing the world the way its creators believe are right, and it's not going to stop doing that anytime soon. What's more, I believe (and I am talking from experience here, from other disappointments in my past) that things are only going to get worse.

The Love Square is bait. The prolonged plot is there to keep the viewers interested. Heck, Astruc confirmed that publicly - it's needed to exist in order to keep the show successful and running. He thinks he's doing a good job at it, and, to be fair - business-wise, he is. That doesn't speak about the quality of the story though. But that's another topic I'm not going to bring up here...

I just wanted to give a heads-up to peeps, who do have an incorporated belief system in their lives, to not get swindled. It's not innocent fun, and that's going to get more obvious as time passes and the creators get more freedom to express their opinions.

I'm sorry if you've invested yourselves in this show as much as I have. I truly believed there wasn't another system directed against religion somewhere in its shadows and that it was a safe watch - however, it isn't. If you do have a life dedicated to something this show is against, all I can tell you is - re-evaluate what you're watching here.

For all the rest of you.... I suppose I have nothing to say. If you read all the way up to here and still disagree with me... well, feel free to do it. But I have no discussion to be made with you.

top 5 smosh series 👁👄👁✨️

its so wild that this ask was sent with 0 technical difficulties💖 xoxo @jovenshires

1. sword af

5. funeral roasts

i am here to see tommy serve cunt, and for everyone else to be lovingly humiliated by their dearest friends. i know what i’m looking for in “”content””, okay.

also a fun fact; this is how i got tricked into watching smosh videos— the combination of being a @tommybowefuneralattendee fan from another fandom, and my try guys playlist falling victim to the algorithym, showing me the roast.

i immediately developed a crush on damien which only grew after he said “stingussy” with his real human mouth :)

special mentions

[tacticalhimbo]

i knew u were gonna serve me gta LMAO so i am also doing the same for u 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

SAME BRAIN [send me a fandom] imma answer for 5 mostly bc i remember more about it than 4 but just know i have my thots and thoughts(tm) there too—

The first character I first fell in love with: oh man oh man.. it was davey. not even gonna lie. i was respectfully looking at the big three (michael, trev, franklin), but like. i dunno! i saw davey and was like yeah 😌💕 fdjasklfjaslfjsdf

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: haines. i just. i wanna put him in a test tube and shake him and then pour him onto a slide and study him under a microscope. what is his deal. i must know. i hate everything he embodies and he gives me the ick but also... 👀

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: ... lazlow. i'm sorry i just. cannot. find it in me. JFLKAJDSFLASJF. i see the appeal!! he's just a guy!! pathetic man! hell i love his comments with mikey in the tattoo shop calling him papa bear (bc same, honestly) but i still get too much ick from him.

The character I love that everyone else hates: hmmm... ngl i don't see a lot of content for her so i can't say if people really hate her. but tracey. i love tracey. if tracey de santa has no fans i am dead. she's spoiled and rich and yada yada but man... her idle dialog makes me so sad she deserves the love and care she is clearly not getting from her family.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: i can't think of an answer for this either! i still love brucie (again, he only shows up in online but whateverrrr) but not? as much? i'm actually normal about him. he's just a guy to me. so.

The character I would totally smooch: lamar... ☺️☺️☺️ i love him too okay he's the character ever. he has his problems but that is literally the entire cast. there is not one healthy motherfucker in the entirety of san andreas

The character I’d want to be like: hmmmmm... again, not one healthy motherfucker in the entirety of san andreas but if i had to pick one... gay tony. yea yea he only shows up in online whatever ok he is living his best life owning the pc's nightclub like he escaped everything from liberty city and is still in contact with his son (re: luis, who is not his actual son but may as well be) and spends his time browsing himplants enhancing surgery and fucking it up on the dance floor. as he should.

The character I’d slap: jimmy (affectionate). he's the younger brother i'm sorry as an older brother i am legally obligated. serious answer is dr. friedlander. fuck dr. friedlander all my homies hate dr. friedlander.

A pairing that I love: imma be real i don't look at many gta ships so i can't say i really love any of them if i don't know them. i see the appeal of trikey so i'll say that one-

A pairing that I despise: controversial take... michael and amanda. yes i know they are legally married. yes i know they "work things out" in the end bc they are both bad(tm) for one another. but my brother in christ if i were her and my husband threatened to kill me in front of my children during a therapy session... i'm sorry i'm going to our witsec contacts and telling them we need an OUT. i have so many gripes with friedlander in general (and yes yes i know satire; i will still complain about it as it's a big plot point in the central story) but letting that slide... OUGHHHHH.

[bloodgarnet]

second not!fic for smoshblr! I have notes from the first AU I should’ve added on but oh well. Just know that the thing Ian wanted to say was “I love you” and evil!Anthony is instantly reformed, everyone escapes to the surface (+bonus bridal carry) but then they both do a mutual “no homo though” while staring lovingly into each other’s eyes. end credits.

also these are all very Ian-centric and I will not apologise. barely mentioned but this AU has 'everyone knows Ian and Anthony separately but do not realise they have a history together', which I'd personally like to see more of. for the funnies.

2/3 – Ding Dong, the Coven Leader is Dead

On loop number five, they all sit down together to go over everything right from the drawing board because nothing is working.

“I never should have brought up the Geffen Magic Tournament,” Courtney mutters shakily, dabbing at damp eyes. “This is all my fault, you guys.”

Shayne pats them on the shoulder comfortingly, but it’s Noah who argues, “Did you hire the magic missile sniper to take a hit on our boss? No? Then it’s not your fault. I don’t think anyone on the dang Sorcerer’s Council could have stopped it in time; not Fischbach, Nestor, Padilla, nobody.” A murmur of agreement runs around the room. Courtney buries their face in their knees, shoulders trembling.

“I don’t get it, though,” Amanda groans, visibly twitching with stress, “Doesn’t a time loop make it harder to kill someone? I mean, sure, this is a torturous hell of failing to save each other from death, but why would the enemy create an opportunity for us to set things right?”

In times like these, Amanda’s specialty truly shines—not her situational clairvoyance and sub-specialty in psionics, but rather the much more invaluable ability to see things from a totally different perspective.

“That’s… actually a really good point,” Keith admits.

“Huh.” They stew in baffled, contemplative silence for a moment.

Angela looks around, waiting to see if someone else is going to take charge before starting with, “Okay, okay. Okay. Hey! So, first loop, we go to the tournament, Ian gets sniped. The day resets. Second loop, we try to avoid the tournament, big accident in the brewing closet, explosion, we all die. Third loop, Erica’s familiar goes batshit crazy and starts ripping throats out.” She earns a few winces from that description and hurriedly moves on. “And last loop, we play it totally safe and Ian chokes to death on a fucking turkey leg. Am I right so far?”

“Right. Time always resets the moment Ian dies.” Courtney’s voice is steadier now, even if they still look a bit teary. “Guys, I don’t think the assassin could have caused any deaths past the first one. Not unless they also remembered the loops, which they can’t because they’re not sharing the coven pact with us, and—and not if they can’t set up a teleport matrix in less than an hour to get to our base, which they shouldn’t even know the location of.” Their words flow faster and faster, tripping over each other as realisation dawns mid-sentence, suddenly grasping how impossible this whole situation is.

“So what? If the time loop is totally separate, then… then it all has to tie back to that first incident somehow. Are we assuming that somebody doesn’t want Ian to die, or is at least actively preventing him from leaving this plane?” Amanda tilts her head all the way back and closes her eyes, evidently praying for a guiding vision.

Right then, Ian walks into the room. “Hey, did anybody want to order in for lunch?”

With a mix of panic and poorly-hidden distress, they all manage some variation of “We’re busy!”

Ian backs out of the room, wide-eyed.

A long beat.

Shayne takes a deep breath. “We can figure this out. There’s a certain logic to this, we just have to work our way through all the unknowns and decipher the rules. And you’re right, Courtney,” a nod of acknowledgement, “malicious or not, this time loop is an opportunity to do good. We can do this.”

There’s an ear-splitting crash from the hallway, a prolonged and pointed stillness, and then the world around them swirls into a kaleidoscope of effervescent colours.

Eventually, they’ll come to realise that avoiding the issue only makes it come on faster. It takes fifteen more loops before they start really digging into the nitty gritty of spell research, cracking open forbidden archives and blasting into trap-laden tombs for information. Another ten rapid resets after that before they can start putting said knowledge to use.

However, the biggest breakthrough comes on loop forty-two, the next spontaneous rest day, when they sit down for a relaxing and hopefully non-lethal meal, and Ian casually responds to Chanse’s comment about youthful indiscretions with, “Everyone has a story like that. Like, you get drunk with a friend one time, accidentally summon a demi-god, and before you know it, you’re soul-tied for life, and maybe death too. Kids are dumb.”

Angela screams. Keith launches bodily over the table, ready to end Ian himself, and no one holds him back.

okay so shayne was actually on the first episode of culinary crimes. they have the whole reveal of the orange juice.

i'm guessing whenever we get damien on there he is going to be paired with arasha because I have been noticing that they tend to put these two in a lot of videos together. maybe want to try a new duo/dynamic for people to latch on? I feel like in maybe 100% of videos with damien in 80% arasha was also a part of it.

which is also a bone I have to pick a little bit. I feel like in games specifically, they are focusing a lot on the dynamics of certain groups, like angela, shayne, amanda, chance, courtney are one that people really enjoy so I think they push this group more. which ends up feeling a lit bit like they just stuck the ones that are not part of that group together when the "main" one isn't available? it might not be the intention but it ends up feeling this way, at least for me.

I love this "main" group, don't get me wrong. their improve game it's amazing but I also miss the variety that we used to get way more. I feel like any time one of them is in a video, angela for example, I already know who will be there with her without having to see it.

it feels kinda divided for me. two groups that don't overlap that much anymore and are kept separate.

anyway I don't know just felt like ranting a little bit

I totally messed up saying Shayne should be on lmao, I was meant to fact check if he was on already and I didn't.. My bad! (HOW COULD I FORGET THE ORANGE JUICE!?)

I do kind of agree with you about the "focusing on duos" thing. They have been casting Angela + Chanse + Amanda (all three or at least two at a time) in most videos one of them is in the others are sure to ALSO be there. Which I love their dynamics! but like you said, it feels like everyone else gets a little sidelined in favor of certain "duos/dynamics" which feels odd sometimes.

"I also miss the variety that we used to get way more. I feel like any time one of them is in a video, angela for example, I already know who will be there with her without having to see it."

Exactly. I want more variety OVERALL with everything Smosh is doing, with who's cast to what videos they do!

(although I'm wondering if maybe everyone is just such pals with everyone else that we are a little blinded?)(but hey, maybe I just miss Keith and Olivia in the bunch and have a longing for them)(orrrrrr I could be going feral over wanting the OG Games crew to meet the new cast.....I SO BADLY want Amanda and Angela to meet Joven...oh what I'd give to witness THAT)

In conclusion, I miss Damangela because I need their DRAMA. They bicker like no one else at Smosh and I've been missing it.. (EVERYONE IS TOO NICE TO EACHOTHER! ARGUE! COMPETE! I MISS IT!)

Maybe I’m being petty here but that snippy tlt comment reminds me of nothing so much as when everyone was really excited about Amanda Palmer, and loved that one song Girl Anachronism because it was about what it’s like to be in a psych ward.

And I got why people loved it but I personally wigged out because she has like, one line comparing it to being in a body cast, and I WAS in a body cast and just didn’t feel like she’d captured what’s so creepy about it. Like she didn’t mention the pain, or the needing PAS while loathing the people providing it, or the lack of privacy (I recall an aide noticing I’d been sexually aroused because she had to wipe discharge off me, and rather than letting me be a teenager quietly she asked if I was physically okay and I had to figure out how to say yes and forestall questions about why that was there that I really had no interest in discussing with an adult stranger), or or or… it just felt like a throwaway line where she obviously had zero idea.

Anyway I complained about it and got an avalanche of angry fans enumerating for me that she’d been in a psych ward and I hadn’t, and she could write what she wanted and what was wrong with me being so off the wall mad about one line, comparing pain is okay right?

And me just feeling helpless to explain how that didn’t make me feel any less like the line didn’t speak to The real experience, that it felt like using my pain as a cute image for the Victorian horror vibe and not much else, and I would never censor but I’d never like that line.

And then she did the Evelyn Evelyn thing and everyone went “oh my god is this person maybe weirdly obsessed with the idea of physically disabled people as freaks, and maybe is that not cute?”

And just the feeling, of everyone suddenly noticing and no longer screaming at me.

Anyway I don’t know if Muir is ableist, and my point here is NOT TO insinuate she is.

Just to say that sometimes I’ve noticed an image falls flat to me, and sometimes there’s a reason that ends up being a bit more nuanced than I’m just the fun police. That I’m not saying and no one should be taking me to be saying “that image can’t exist” but there is also something kinda… missing? That I was nervous about for a reason that turned out to be pretty grokkable in the end?

I dunno.

[shesmore-shoebill]

I read your shourtmanda rpf ideas i would totally read any of those as fics. very fun. especially courtmanda first and they loop shayne in. i love it.

ah thank you! :D i mean. ill make zero promises on if i actually write these fics or not. i love doing this kind of mapping/puzzling/dynamic exploration/plotting thing where I take characters and rattle them around in jars/put them in situations and see what i think they'd do. I find it very fun. But, it's not the same as actually translating it into a readable fic, sadly. 😔

anyway, you didnt ask for it but. sure i can keep talking about shourtmanda that starts courtmanda first.

obligatory "rpf F for fiction". Not about real people, these are all my little rpf universe characters I am Putting Into Situations.

Anyway, Courtmanda first....... I know i've talked a decent amount about how I imagine Courtmanda in rpf, so I'll try not to dedicate a few paragraphs to it but like. Ghhh so much fun. Okay lets see.

In this world- maybe Shayne and Courtney who have been around each other long enough to trust each other, where romance with each other isn't even an active question- not in an unsustainable, unhappy way. Just people who know the other has their back, who haven't had to question it for a while, who have settled into.. something comfortable with each other. Maybe dabbling in dating, and they like to keep each other updated. But there hasn't been anything serious for a while.

And then Amanda comes in, and.... Courtney likes her. A lot. And look, its all fun and games, it's fine. Courtney has a little admiration crush on Amanda and mentions it to Shayne but its, not a big deal, really. Amanda flirts with everyone. Courtney loves a lot of her coworkers! Is there a lot of flirting. Yes. Does it FEEL weirdly sincere at times. Yes. Have the fake bit-kisses been drifting closer and closer. maybe. Things slowly get more intense but it never feels scary. Just surprising. The friendship and trust between them continues growing alongside everything else, and if Courtney's feelings don't exactly subside even as she gets to know Amanda better- that's fine.

And then. Shayne befriends Amanda, and they're doing the pod, and. Getting closer. and its like. Oh. Fuck. First of all. He hears her talk about Courtney and how she'll gush about them on a whim, he gets to witness how, yes, Amanda flirts with everyone but there's a different quality to this. After all the time of Courtney admitting and then playing off her feelings. It seems like. Maybe. Those feelings are not unrequited. Shit.

And also, despite himself. Despite all odds. He gets why Courtney is enamoured with her, where those feelings came from, why they haven't gone away. Because maybe he likes her too. Double shit.

How this plays out/how much everyone is personally aware of depends on personal preference for angst levels, probably. I lean towards Shayne being the most aware of his feelongs, but in a way where he's hopefully not agonized over it as much as "ah shit. ah fuck. that's not great." I want Shayne playing matchmaker to an extent between Courtmanda because both of them are...... either unaware (Amanda?) or convinced it won't/can't happen (Courtney, maybe Amanda too) and he wants them both to be happy. It maybe takes some time for him to feel as confident on his read of Amanda's feelings, but once he's sure its kind of like. My friends are great and like each other and I want them happy. This could solve itself, or they should at LEAST talk to each other about it. #communication.

Either way. Courtmanda agree with each other first. And then figure out how best to talk to Shayne about it, because they know he wouldn't otherwise. OR they DON'T plan it out very well, and instead are flirting with him and Shayne is losing it a little because what the Fuck are they Doing He is In HELL. These are his friends who should be happy and dating each other and who he MAYBE he feelings for. and they KEEP FLIRTING WITH HIM. And is he evil for enjoying it but also they're together and he shouldn't be- oh god. Sorry Shayne. (Ladies!!! COMMUNICATE!! WITH!! HIM!!)

They do eventually talk. And more than talk. and they keep talking. and some way- some how- their feelings towards Shayne come to light. I'm open to lots of things in these scenarios, but I will say I don't see a world with my characterizations where Shayne is the one to try to bring himself in vs Courtney/Amanda making the move. Maybe Amanda talking to Courtney making Court realize their friendship with Shayne IS invaluable but their love isn't strictly platonic. Maybe Amanda realizing her own blossoming friendship with Shayne feels like its morphing into something different. Maybe Amanda feeling guilty because Shayne and Courtney should be each other's first and foremost. Courtney and Amanda both feeling guilty because theybhave each other! and yet. and yet. They both keeping wanting to talk to Shayne about it all. They both keep wanting Shayne around, maybe more than they should.

Shayne feeling odd because- he did it! He got his friends together and now has two happy friends, this should be objectively good. and yet.....

anyway. it all works out in the end either way. fun :) sorry i got a lil carried away lol.

Hey there! I hear you're rewatching The West Wing! I'd love to know when you first saw the show, what inspired this rewatch, and what's been standing out to you this time. (At least I find that each time I rewatch a fave, I tend to notice something new.)

Hey there new friend! So I first watched this show 2010/2011. It was because a lot of my friends on LJ loved it and told me to watch (shout out to Grace, Emma, Jordan, Jennifer, Amanda and many others who I am probably leaving out but who left many screaming comments on my post(s)). They were right. I blew through all 7 seasons in like a month and a half and then immediately convinced my younger brother to watch it with me so in a span of six month, I watched the show twice.

I am who I am. I make no apologies. :)

This particular re-watch has been at least two years in the making. I couldn't bear to watch it while a certain someone was in Office but right around January of 2021 , it felt like it might be okay to watch again. And then the tv watching stars aligned last month and here I am, re-watch an old fav.

A few things standing out to me this time (and granted, I have BARELY started s3):

Josh and CJ really do have a big sister/annoying little brother relationship

Sam doesn't feel like the main star despite his title card on the opening scene (and probably Rob Lowe's paycheck)

Ainsley should have been made a main member of the cast

Toby is a very loyal teddy bear softy underneath that brittle and temperamental exterior of his (s6 and s7 Toby, who?)

None of the senior staff ever goes home, there is no rhyme or reason to their hours, everyone is at work all the time.

Joey Lucas is also amazing. I really noticed on this go around that no one really made a big deal about her being deaf which I thought was pretty cool for 1999. In fact, more of a deal was made over the fact that Joey Lucas was a woman rather than the man Josh, and everyone else, assumed she was than the fact that she is deaf and has an interpreter.

Any scene with Martin Sheen and Stockard Channing together should have won an award because WOW, talk about two amazingly talented actors.

What now?

Time doesn’t make sense. The days are long and draining and yet I’m doing nothing.  It used to be filled with you. It took you forever to eat your meals (although I guess it’s because it was hard for you to do the work when your brain couldn’t get the messages through).  The house is quiet. You aren’t banging on your pots and pans in the play kitchen or throwing crayons off your table. Containers of play doh just sit there now. Not that you cared as much for the play doh as it was taking the lids on and off the containers. I went out with Miss Kelly, and Miss Amanda and Miss Cat yesterday then saw my friend Michelle. I cried to all of them.  Then I came home and felt lost again. There was still so much of the day left. I felt exhausted and sore all over my body. I took a nap. Napping isn’t right anymore either because I napped with you. If my hair was still in a pony, you’d reach your little hand under my neck and pull my hair towards you. So I made sure to put my hair down yesterday. I can’t even keep track of what day of the week it is. Nothing is comforting. I can’t figure out what to watch on TV. I could do some work but I can’t think up anything creative and it seems like too much mental effort. Reading is hard I’m too easily distracted by the silence. Since when does that make sense? I can’t even find a Twenty One Pilots song that helps. In some ways I guess that’s an okay thing because I would never wish this pain on anyone and to write something that would explain this you’d have to experience it. Which means I have to be the one to write it. And let me tell you Charlie, Mommy is not the writer Tyler Joseph is. I wish I could be. Music has often been a comfort to me. Now I’m pulling songs from Frozen because I don’t know where else to look.  You received a lot of Easter gifts - some stuffies and blankets and chocolates. Losing you on Easter Monday meant you never got to use them. You were like Mommy and were addicted to chocolate. We have so much chocolate now because you had to start every meal with a small piece. Weirdly enough though Mommy has lost interest in chocolate. I’ve had some but it doesn’t taste the same anymore.  I try to talk to you like you are here. I’d love to hear your voice though. You are supposed to be whole in Heaven now so in theory you may even be able to talk. You certainly understood what was being said to you. You did have some words at one point. If in Heaven those lesions are gone from your brain are you chatting up your grandmother? What does it sound like when you talk? I wish we knew Charlie. I wish we knew what you were going through so we could reduce the suffering a little bit. Everyone says it may be better that we didn’t. You experienced a lot - A Blue Jays game, Wonderland, Santa’s Village, Sauble Beach, Daycare - things we probably would have been too afraid to take you to if we knew. But I don’t forget your tired eyes and your sighs. I know now why and I wish I could have helped you through those moments. At least we think we know why. We are still awaiting the genetic testing to confirm it was Leigh’s. I don’t know how I’d feel if they came back still not sure of what it was. Today I’ve tried to do stuff. Daddy got me a new grief journal. Plus I had one I got another day. I tried to look at Disney Cruises. A little getaway. We had hoped to take you to Disney so I thought a cruise might be a nice alternative. I sent out more GoFundMe Thank you’s and but I couldn’t finish anything I set out to do. Somehow after trying all those things it was still only 2 something. That’s when we’d normally be napping. Riley then called home. She almost made it through the whole day. I don’t blame her I can’t get myself to do anything so why should I expect her to? Daddy described this as feeling almost like you’ve lost a limb. Mainly because you always were clinging to Daddy’s shoulder so he quite literally felt like he lost a limb. But I went on to agree because I was thinking something similar. When you lose a limb (modern technology aside) it doesn’t grow back. You can stitch up the area and it will heal up but the actual limb is gone forever. How you move forward in life is completely different. You have to learn to adapt without it. And most of your limbs are pretty important in your daily life. You don’t NEED them to be alive but they are important to your functioning.When they are gone you still can feel pains from where they were. You can still feel your brain try to use them and function as you did.  So we are still here. Trying to continue without an important piece of our family. Moving forward and learning to adapt but trying to accept that you won’t be coming back. We still feel the pain of losing you. We still anticipate seeing you in the hallway when we open the bathroom door, or pulling yourself up to stand by the couch when we are watching TV. I still think I hear your voice when you wake up from a nap then remember you aren't there.  I just don’t know what to do now.

Thoughts I had while watching the IMAX livestream of the Jingle Ball show today

Okay Jax can really sing

Who the fuck is JVKE... oh this song

God I'd let Dove do disgraceful things to me. Holy shit she's doing the Lil Nas X cover!!!! These dancers really are the moment. Should I dress up as Jingle Ball Dove Cameron for Halloween??

Red Carpet Ad Break: Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale being real life besties is so fun. Dove is so iconic, ugh. Omg HeMo! Becca Tilley! Becca tilleys cohost!(😂) Amanda Kloots!

Is...is Ava Max lip syncing? Like I think she kinda is. Okay she's singing some but lip syncing a lot. 🤷🏾‍♀️

This experience is just reminding me of the time my mom wouldn't let me skip ONE middle school band concert to go to the JingleBall concert even though she'd already bought the tickets 🫠🙃

Ava is on but I'm literally still thinking about Dove stepping on me with those boots 🥵👢

Second time "seeing" Lauv this year hehe. Poor thing is sicky and still killing it. His look is giving a little Aaron Carter?

I feel kinda bad that JVKE only got to sing one song. Does he only have one song? Hmm.

Lauv is such a good performer. And he's hitting all the HITS. I wonder what he'll finish with. I bet I Like Me Better. Yeah, of course, how could he not.

LIIIIVVIING FOR ALL THE WOMEN IN SUITS TONIGHT

Did they just repeatedly misgender Demi or did I miss something? Okay, I literally researched this while she sang Sorry Not Sorry because I could NOT believe they would do that and apparently she's been using she/they pronouns so we good fam 👌🏾🫡 Now I can focus again. Why does their audio sound so much muddier than everyone else? Demi is ROCKING tonight.

Red Carpet Ad Break: OMG LIZZO IS GOING TO BE HERE? lol Martha Stewart is so awkward. Y'all she makes he grandkids call her MARTHA. I actually admire that part though.

How long is this whole thing gonna be I wonder. Was gonna hit up Trader Joe's tonight 🤔

Are two of the AJR brothers twins? Because the third one looks so different lol. The horn player is SLAYING this set!!!!! And okay yes when they hit the drop for Weak I smiled so big. It was joyous. But the run off stage and return with instruments was unnecessary and I kinda hated it.

Lizzo!!! Not the nails!

Okay everyone saying MSG is fucking s e n d i n g me

Why ARE men great until they gotta be great??? She really said something with that line guys.

Hell yeah BSB 2000 BREAK IT DOWN NOW!!! The boys still got it y'all. 29 fucking years damn. Uhh they have Christmas music?? Wow. The all white outfits are really working for me. Okay I would've ended on I Want it That Way but their choreo for Larger than Life is very impressive.

Red Carpet Ad Break: okay I'm over these. Let's just get to the music.

Wow Tate McCrae looks so much like Mackenzie Ziegler.

Lol not The Kid LAROI being tired of singing Stay 🤣 like I get it but you can't say it. The acoustic set was a nice change of pace and showed of his voice so well. Okay but his guitarist kinda slays.

Is Dua gonna close the show? Because that would rule

OMG Katie Holmes looks gorgeous. Okay she sucked at presenting though...

So... I guess the person in all the red carpet ad breaks I thought was Charlie Puth is not Charlie Puth because this is Charlie Puth. And he's adorable wow.

People are showing up to the theater 4 hours in?

Charlie has way too much confidence in this crowd lol its cute. Do I have a crush on Charlie Puth? Interesting, I thought the eyebrow notch was a stylistic choice but I think he just has a scar.

Red Carpet Ad Break: Zoey Duetch is so right--DUA LIPA SLAYS. And she loves to eat--FRIED POTATOES ALSO SLAY. omg hi Dove!

I'm dead at this guy in the theater he hates the ad break jingle so much but he screams when the audio goes out. Sir what do you want??

Hell yeah, it's Dua time. And she's giving HAIR. Wait this is my second time "seeing" her this year too! I'm sorry the Dua umbrella dance break 😲😍 oh and now a chair dance 😍🥵 Incredible. What a closer!!

Okay y'all the people who came in 4 hours late were actually there to see Black Panther that was supposed to start at 8:15...and Jingle Ball didn't end until 9 😳 well at least they got to see Dua, that was incredible.

In closing: can't believe I almost didn't come to this because I thought 30 bucks was too much. Didn't know I'd be there for 5 hours but it was so worth it. Loads of artists I'd never go see in concert alone and they of course played the HITS. Non stop bops? Yes please! This healed my childhood trauma of not getting to go hahaha. It's too late for Trader Joes now but that's okay we're having McDonald's tonight!!

If you read this all, you deserve an award... so, here you go 🏆

Peace and love my friends, happy holidays ✌🏾
