Parings: Colby Brock Reader

Masterlist

Prompt List

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

It was a normal day for Sam and Colby. They had posted a new video recently and were going through the comments.

The comments on this video, however, were particularly negative for no reason. They also seemed to be mostly targeted at Colby.

Needless to say, both boys were a bit upset and wanted comfort. Sam had Kat up in his room with him, but Colby's girlfriend Y/N was still at work. Seeing the state her own boyfriend was in, she could only imagine what state Colby was in, seeing as they were practically targeting him.

So, making a decision to help her friend, she sent Y/N an SOS text. This was a message that the girls of the trap house had started using when the boys were all still staying in the first traphouse. It was a message that said there was trouble and to get there ASAP. She got a response telling her her friend would be there soon.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Y/N walked into the dimly lit house. It was way too quiet for the people who lived there. Now she understood why she had received the SOS from Kat. She walked up to her boyfriends room, figuring out that's where she would find him. Her heart ached as she saw her boyfriend, Colby, slumped on the ofice chair by his desk. Colby had always been a strong and resilient person, he almost always had that beautiful contagious smile of his on his face, but today, the weight of negative comments on his and Sam's video had taken its toll, dragging him into a whirlpool of doubt and self-criticism. She had seen the comments on the video. She had been absolutely furious when they had attacked the boys who worked so hard to make content for the fans who they loved. She had been beyond furious when she saw the ones targeting her love personally.

She couldn't fathom how these people could be so cruel to a man who gave his everything to give them content that they would enjoy.

Seeing this man, the man she absolutely adored, the man who had unkowingly saved her life, like this, slouching in his chair with his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking ever so slightly, didn't just break her heart, it shattered it into millions of tiny pieces.

Y/N aproached him softly not wanting to startle him too much, she knew he had noticed her when he lifted his head ever so slightly. The look in his beautiful ocean blue eyes broke her heart even more. She gently brushed Colby's messy hair away from his forehead and placed a tender kiss on his temple. "I love you," she whispered softly, her voice permeating the air with soothing affection. Colby's breath hitched as he absorbed her words, the depth of her love washing over him like a healing balm. He leaned into her body and buried his head in her chest. She continued to very gently run her fingers through his hair.

"Those comments don't define you, Colby, and they cerainly don't come from all of your fans. Most of them love you boys and you know that." Y/N spoke, her voice steady yet filled with conviction. "You are talented, creative, and so loved by many—including me. Your worth isn't measured by the opinions of faceless strangers."

Her words resonated, and Colby's tense shoulders began to relax slightly. Y/N knew that while her words were a start, actions would speak louder than anything she could say. She took his hand in hers, entwining their fingers as a symbol of unwavering support.

Y/N gently pulled Colby up off his chair and guided him to lay down on the bed, propping pillows up behind his back for support. Tenderly, she covered him with a soft blanket, creating a cozy haven that shielded away the negativity and doubt that had plagued him all day.

She lay curled up next to him and gently ran her fingers through his hair. Eventually, his breathing started to even out, and soft snores started to come from his slightly parted lips.

She continued to watch over him, marveling in just how much love she had for this man. He was the love of her life, and she knew and had known for a while now that his was her person. This was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

She reached over and grabbed her phone. She texted Kat, asking her how Sam was doing. After hearing that the man she cared for as an older brother would be ok and was also asleep, she bid her sister in all but blood a good night put her phone back on the nightstand and cuddled into Colby's side. Falling asleep content in the knowledge that her boys were going to be ok.

Birthday blues | Jake Webber

warnings: none, just some angst towards the end.

No hate towards tara, I love her.

Word count: ( 2.0k)

You hated conflicts. You hated how people get upset, and say things they don't mean, and how they tend to not be friends after the whole argument. That's sort of what happening with you and your friend Jake Webber. You and Jake. You two have been friends since the end of time.

Ever since he moved to LA after high school. Your other friends Sam Golbach and Colby Brock had introduced the two of you guys at a party when he just moved. However, you didn't officially become friends a month later, when bumping into each other one after noon.

Now here you are, in 2019. It's your twentieth birthday! Normally you would be spending it with your family, however they are in your hometown, which sucks. It was late at night, and you were getting ready for a birthday party that your best friend Katrina Stuart was throwing you. She is talking to Sam Golbach, and you hope the two of them get together.

Getting a knock at your door, you open it and see her. "Come on slowpoke! It's nine, and I told people to be there in thirty minutes!" She yelled while grabbing your arm, making you instantly take your purse and locking the door behind you.

"Okay, chill! I love that you're throwing me a party, Kat!" You annonce as she enters her car, and you two are on yalls way. She nodded.

"Anything for you [y/n]. Plus, we got this huge cake that should last for days!" She joked as you two laughed and sang along to the song on the radio. Pulling up to Sam and Colby's house, called the traphouse, where your other friends are living too, you see tons of cars and are already hearing loud music.

"If the cops come, we should film." you say to her while walking up. Seeing that she's on her phone, instead of laughing at your joke, you ask who she's texting. "What's going on?" You ask as she spun you around to face her.

With her hands on your shoulders, she starts to speak. 'Please don't be mad, but this is a surprise party. Everyone's trying to find a place to hide, and yell hello," she told you whole moving her hands along to the story. You groaned.

Yes you did love surprises, however you hated being in the spotlight. That's why tonight you thought it was just going to be your friend group, and not people you didn't know at all, trying to crash your party. Hell, some people that are already there don't even know who you are.

"Fine, but if they try to prank me tonight, I am not going out to any kind of parties for a month!" you told her half-jokingly as she smiled, and sort of blinded you with her hands. Hearing a course of Happy Birthday you instantly had a smile on your face, trying to show them that you had no idea.

You saw the decorations. It was a classic color, purple, since it's your favorite, with all kinds of balloons, and party hats ( jake had two on making you laugh), with a photo booth on some wall. It was mainly just your friend group who was there to welcome you, and a new girl? Standing next to your best friend, making you a little upset.

Walking up to everyone you tried your best to put a smile on your face. Yes, Jake was your best friend, and he could bring any one he wanted but it was your day. Why would he bring a date, you don't know to your own birthday party. It made you sick. You didn't have a clue why you felt this way, maybe it's cause you started to form a small crush on him, but you told yourself it would go away, and it would never happen.

Making your way to him, he smiled while pulling you into a hug. Rubbing your hair, he put his second birthday hat on your, making you let out a fake groan as you pretended that the string hurt you.

"Oh hush! I know it didn't hurt." He said while playing along. You and Jake fit together like two peas in a pod. You two understood each other when no one else can, not even Kat or your other best friend Colby. As he pulled the short girl beside him closer, she tried to let out a friendly smile.

It's obvious that she was a little awkward to be here, and so are you. With the biggest grin on his face, he introduced the girl. "[y/n], this is Tara, the girl I was telling you about." He said as she smiled, while you shook her hand politely.

Ah, Tara. Yes, it all makes sense now. Ever since October Jake has been talking about a girl named Tara Yummy. How he makes her so happy, and how she does the same. That's when your feelings came in, rushing in a little too late. You were slightly hoping that she isn't nice, just so it won't hurt much, but however she is.

She's probably the sweetest person your have ever met that Jake had brought into your life. Before it was time for cake, and for you to blow out your candles, you and Tara were talking, along with Kat. Music was blaring so loud that you couldn't hear a lot, but it was fine. You could see Jake on the other side watching the three of you.

"Again, it's so nice to finally meet you, [y/n]. Almost every day Jake brings you up, and I get to meet his best friend. Sometimes I even think he likes you more than me, which might be a little weird since we are talking, I guess." Tara announced as you and Kat looked at each other.

"What?" you asked her as she took a sip of her drink.

"Yeah, he talks non-stop about you. I wonder if he ever talks that way about me to you guys," she says while giving a smile to Jake, and he does the same.

You shook your head not knowing what to say. Kat was the one to speak. "I'm sorry, but i've only heard about you now and like two days ago.... I don't -" as Kat was stopped by Tara she thought it was a good time for cake, not wanting to get into a argument with the girl. So many thoughts were racing through your head, along with the alcohol.

Why would Jake talk more about you instead of the girl he was seeing, and to make it worse she seems so nice- you were interrupted as they started singing the song, while taking videos and pictures, probably for posting on instagram later, but for memories.

Blowing out the last candle everyone cheered as you stood up, excusing yourself and going to the bathroom before you had a piece of cake.

Shutting the door, you ran our hands through your hair, not knowing what to think.

A knock was heard at the door. "[y/n}, I know you're in there. I just came because I know how much you like cake, and since you didn't get a piece yet, I just wanted to check on you." He said, slightly yelling. Not knowing if you should open it or not, you gave in and opened it, letting the boy in.

He closed the door, probably thinking that I conversation was about to happen. "how come you talk more about me to Tara? And you never really talk about her to us, huh?" You asked him while pacing around the big bathroom. "Why would you bring her here tonight, if you haven't even talked to her more than three times, Jake! I mean, come on it's not fair to her if you don't even like her-" As your ranting was put to a stop, you felt his lips on yours.

Kissing back, you held onto his shoulders, making him lean down a little to make it better for you guys, because of the height difference. Knowing what you two were doing you pushed him off you, making him stumble back, with a confused look on his face.

"[y/n] what was that for?" He asked confused, why you would break the kiss. "your in a relationship with Tara! You brought her here on my BIRTHDAY, and now your kissing me?" Before finishing you had to stop yourself from confessing.

He was fidgeting. "I'm not dating Tara. Sure it may look like it, but I don't feel the same way about her as I do to you!' He said while pointing his hands towards you. "I've liked you ever since I met you! I think Tara was just something to show me how I truly feel about you. I liked you [y/n], I love everything about you." He said making you think.

Moving to sit on the side of the bathtub, he sat in front of you. Waiting for your response. "What about Tara?" You ask as he sighs. "I'm going to talk to her tonight, after I drop her off." You finally looked towards him, wanting to make your own confession.

"I won't lie, ever since Tara came into conversation three months ago, I became really upset. I noticed it was because I liked you, and I just didn't realize it. What happens now?"

He gets up, and takes your hand. "Will you go out with me? I mean, after I settle things the right way with Tara, and tell her how I really feel?'' He asked as you smiled.

"Yes," you said while he pulled you into a quick kiss. "let's go have some cake." He said while making you smile and follow him downstairs.

Criminal intent EP 1. Introduction

Sup G, im Matt Jones, I am a captian in a set called Wendigo Family Gangstas, we work for the Wendigo Rydas MC, my brother, Miles Jones, is the sgt at arms for the local chapter of the outlaws, my girlfriend is Jorja Hathaway, president of red eye outlawz, a bloods set that works for the outlaws motorcycle club. We live in ganjaville between Sault Ste Marie and Subury Ontario and my gang moves dope to both towns among many other operations, we sell dope in our hometown too. We go collect debts for both clubs i meantioned a minute ago, we have a protection racket going on a corner store in our hood; Bayview, it's run by pakis. We dont know if these guys are involved but theres a huge group of professional scammers and it operates all across northern Ontario and majority of the guys involved are pakis, all the native, white and dark skin folks here hate all pakis for it cause if one aint a scammer his uncle probably is.

So i guess i should get to the actual story. It all started back in may 2012, i just started dating jorga and miles gets asked to prospect for the outlaws, and i was about to by asked by my cousin; Jimmy Dafoe, to join Wendigo Family Gangstas because some members of the blue viper crips broke into my place, i knew it was then cause they screamed BVC when they busted the front window they had bats and brass knuckles so told Jorja to go grab the .26 i keep under my mattress and i pulled the nina from under the couch cushion, they ran so i followed outside and blasted a few rounds, killing one. I called up jimmy and miles while Jorja called her people, jimmy showed up with a bunch of soliders and we went to go meet Jorjas crew at the gas station, after we linked we drove to their block, a few guys got out and ran into houses that bvc members are known to live, jimmy said to me "lets go to their traphouse, if you kill at least one guy and help us grab their dope i can guarantee you a spot in the crew"

And thats how i joined WFG

Any and all opinions are my own, and are not law.

Sigh.

I rewatched the Witches Forest in its entirety, because I have no morals.

This gets...long. And rambly. And nonsensical. I started out with great intentions of writing out something coherent, but my brain had other ideas.

Sorry.

Before I get into this, I want to say: while I did miss their comedy and friendly dynamic, their paranormal content back then was just...annoying. And, to be honest- the traphouse did not work well together in the paranormal sense. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. Sam is too bossy and skepitcal of everyone else's experiences, yet totally fine with his own overreacting about everything; Colby is the tired mom that is over everyone's shit and is tired of keeping it together; Corey resents the secrets and the rituals and the way they don't take it seriously, which causes him to overreact and subconsciously sabotage by pumping the brakes every time they hear a creak; and Jake is trapped somewhere between not being able to take any of this seriously, and being completely apathetic about everything.

They are the freaking Bestles, and this is their Magical Mystery Tour era.

Anyway, onward.

First of all: I forgot how...kind of dickish they were about this poor Jennifer girl (who yes, was weird, but damn fellas, maybe don't call her out so callously in a youtube video).

Can I be honest? I still find this whole thing hard to believe. They meet this random girl at the Stanley Hotel, who is an actress and is totally cool with just following them around for the entire night. Before she leaves them, she ominously tells them that she knows of a super spooky forest they can film in, which perfectly sets up their next series. They call her weeks after the Stanley, and she immediately answers a random number she doesn't know, and is like, "Oh yea, weird kids from the Stanley that i dont really know...come meet me in the park at midnight so I can give you THE KEY TO MY GRANDFATHER'S CABIN. It's scarier than the Stanley Hotel, which is perfect since this video is a sequel of sorts to that, but we didn't set it up that way at all. Also, I have a bestie out there who will totally let you in her house and give you a tarot reading. Ok, bye now! Oh by the way, its super scary there. Ok, bye for real now!"

Fucking what?

*

Jake: "We're not some LA douchebags."

Colby: "Yea, we're Kansas douchebags."

Peak traphouse humor right there. 🤣

Honestly, and this is a running theme through this, so I'll just put it here: when the four of them were gelling, they were all did work fantastically off one another, comedically speaking. Their timing was *chef's kiss.* That is something that all four of them are lacking in any of their interactions with anyone else these days.

*

Another running theme with this video: holy fucking filler, Batman.

There is so much crap in this video that could've been cut out and we still would've gotten the damn point. I'm literally 16 minutes in and they haven't left the fucking apartment yet (except when they met Jennifer in the park to get the key). Like, get to the POINT.

*

Hey, remember that time Corey said he never said he didn't want to do haunted anymore?

Maybe he should watch this video.

Just saying.

*

"It's always been us four. If we ruin that now, it's not going to make sense. It wouldn't feel right."

Oh, 2019 Colby Brock, with your aqua blue hair and your delusions of grandeur, you poor, sweet summer child. 2022 Colby Brock has got some news for you.

*

18 minutes in and they FINALLY got in the car.

*

Ok, so, they promised Corey that they wouldn't do any seances or rituals, and then they took him into the woods and did a horribly researched ritual.

Maybe this is why he doesn't fuck with them anymore, lol.

*

Fast forward through another 5 minutes of filler and we finally arrive at Jennifer's Wiccan friend's house.

These boys are very afraid that everyone is out to murder them (Jennifer, the Wiccan...). Yet, this does not stop them from meeting these people in dark parks at midnight or going up into the woods to meet these people at their houses.

What I'm saying is, they have zero self preservation skills and I don't know ow how they've made it thus far.

*

The Tarot Card reading is actually still fascinating to me. She predicated chaos, the death of an era (👀) and "being more afraid than you actually need to be."

Maybe they should've listened to her.

*

34:50, they FINALLY get to the woods.

*

This is where my frustration kicks in.

They are in the woods. Woods with commonly used trails. Woods with commonly used trails on a windy, rainy night.

Every little creak and noise they hear, they go into full panic mode, for no reason.

At one point, Corey demands they leave the tent, which probably isn't the best idea. They get out of the tent, and Colby (who I lowkey think is done with them all by this point) is trying to say, "I think a pinecone just fell out of the tree guys," but the other 3 are just too far gone to hear him.

At one point, Corey gets a couple spam calls and gets so freaked out that he just...walks into the woods by himself. Sam and Colby follows him, and Colby is just mom voicing him so hard. "You can't just go off by yourself, Corey!" And I'm just over here, like...this man, who did not even want to go with them, who was terrified before they even got out of the car, decided to just wander off by himself on a foggy night because he was getting prank called?!

I can't believe I never realized this, but Colby was the voice of reason all along. He's over here, trying to wrangle everyone, begging them to calm down and get organized, reminding them of the tarot card reading they got that said they would be more afraid than they needed to be, keeping them from running off by themselves...

...and then he goes and ruins that by running off into the woods by himself, but I'll get to that shortly.

*

This ritual is fantastically stupid.

*

Interesting tidbit: Corey decides he's going to burn an XPLR sticker because, and I quote: "Ever since I stopped playing with the Ouija Board, the only thing that's made my life haunted is you! If it wasn't for y'all, I would have never brought back this Oujia Board crap."

But, you know- he's been into this consecutively since he was 16, independently of anything anyone else around him was doing. (Salty moment is over)

*

I remember Jake burning the Shrek VHS, but I totally forgot that Colby ripped half of his cardboard cutout face off and burned that.

This ritual really is stupid.

Ok. Now we're at the part where Colby literally flips ass over teakettle because he saw a shadow and, a couple things:

First: Sam accusing Colby of fucking with them pisses me the fuck off. This man is the only one who has been logical the entire night thus far, and he just did a backflip off his chair cause he was so shocked, and this is the man you want to accuse of lying? Bro.

Second: this is where everyone kicks their annoying into high gear. Corey refuses to leave the fire. Colby just flips out and jets into the woods like a bat out of hell (RIP Meat Loaf). Sam and Jake wander off to...look at a branch that they think looks like a hanging baby.

And they're all just yelling and talking over each other the entire time.

Ugh.

*

So, they've lost Colby. They put the fire out for some reason, and then start yelling, "Colby! Come back to the fire!"

Um...he can't? You put it out.

*

I cannot deal with this chaos.

*

So, we've finally arrived to Jennifer's cabin, after 42 hours of these idiots running around in the woods cause they heard a rustling noise.

I forgot that after Sam lost the key, Corey blamed him for losing Colby in the woods. I don't understand this leap, but sure.

*

"Let's go to this lady's house- who we just met today- at 3 in the morning to see if she has the key. Totally good idea. Not at all supremely creepy."

*

Sam (about the lady and her friends): "They were probably put in the woods doing some Satanic shit!"

Sam (in the next breath): "I'm not judging or anything."

Jesus, Sam.

*

"But nothing actually happened to us tonight."

And that is my problem. Nothing happens in this video, really. Nothing of true interest, at any rate. And yet, they react to every non-event like it's a full bodied appartion just popping down in front of them and punching them in the dicks. It's too much.

*

Corey Scherer (the man who never said he wasn't going to do haunted anymore): "This is definitely my last video with something like this. Not for y'alls kind of haunted stuff. I'm staying away from Ouija Boards, I'm staying from seances...I don't want nothing to do with it."

*

Ok, overall, this really did suck.

I'm honestly just tired and frustrated watching this. I didn't like this one back when they first dropped it, but time has really not done it any favors.

The one bright spot about this is that you can watch this, and then watch their newer videos and really get a sense for how far they've come, professionally and as people.

I'm literally giving this a 1 out of 10. Like, they're literally getting that tiktok trend treatment. If I could give this a 0, I would.
