ALiB Verse Texts: Alex & Hinch

[op81s]

Please tell me you’ve heard Alex talk about attempting to get revenge on Conor for his golf cart prank. I was dying laughing when I first heard it. This man has never ever done anything by half, committed several attempted crimes for failed revenge. He talks about it in the Off Track episode The Failed Key Heist and the 500. I cannot believe he is so casual about it all lmao

i had not heard this episode but oh. my. god. i'm dead. (i have done a deep dive into alex's eventual respone to this prank tho and you can find it here)

tagging @nico-di-genova 'cause this is very much relevant to your alib alex i feel.

my reaction below the cut 'cause it got fucking LONG.

my favorite parts:

hinch: i'm standing in the gym, minding my own business and alex just walks in right behind me, gets really close in my ear and just goes 'you're fucking dead.' + hinch: i was trying to prove my innocence, which he did not believe, it took a full hour for me to convince him to the point where i was having to show him my text messages- he was like an angry girlfriend, he was like 'sHOW ME YOUR PHONE' *alex starts cackling in the background* ... and i was finally cleared in the eyes of- alex: you were aquitted. hinch: i was aquitted in the court of alex.

poor hinchie, his bestie didn't believe him 😭

alex: i'm not gonna explain the way that i found out with complete certainty. tim: wait- why- why not? alex: well, no because- ....screw it i don't like him that much anyway, i was in the engineering office with colton herta.

lol, i'm fully convinced alex doesn't like 3/4 of the grid 😂

alex: i found her on instagram. hit her up in the dm's and said 'hey there, sorry to reach out to you kinda randomly. i really need your help with something, i'm friends with conor and some of the people you know, get back to me asap if you get this'. twenty minutes later she responds like 'hey what's up?' and i send a picture of the golf cart tyres on top of my bus and say 'i'm trying to get conor back for a prank, can i call you?' i call her and i find out when they're going to dinner, where they're going to dinner. i try and get her to see, if when she's in his car, to kinda look for bus keys and we had a whole plan that she was like gonna try and grab them and drop them outside the car. or when she got out she was gonna leave the car unlocked when she got home. so like, she was completely on board. it wasn't really going well, she couldn't find the key initially at all. so i found out conor was going to a resturant, i drove downtown to that resturant, got the valet in on this situation and got him to unlock conor's car while conor was at dinner. ... and the keyes were nowhere to be found, i was crawling through his tahoe for ten minutes, searching for the bus key. could not find them.

THEY WAY HE MANAGED TO DRAG A COMPLETELY INNOCENT WOMAN HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW INTO HIS REVENGE 😂 (which also... does kelly know you slide into random women's dm's alex?? 👀😂) AND A VALET??? just how persuasive are you alex?? 'cause that valet could lose their job???? (okay, they're friends with the valet. that makes more sense...)

cont: so then i decided to drive to his house and i tried to break into his house.

THE CASUAL WAY HE SAID THAT JUST STRAIGHT UP KILLED ME. 'CAUSE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ROSSI???????????????

alex: colton comes up to me and he's like 'i know where conor's bus keys are. they're in his front right pocket.' and i was like '...okay, cool? how would you like me to get those?' and he was like 'i don't know man, just make a mold of them.' and i said 'uhh, you're still not explaining to me how i'm getting the keys out first of all.' and he's like 'just put a bunch of putty in their and make a mold.'

colton...............i can't figure out if you were fucking with alex or if you're just a little dumb

alex: so that night, we were just going to get him back with his golf cart ... but that night, his golf cart was nowhere to be found. so not only was he claiming to be innocent, he felt the need to hide his belongings. and when i say it was nowhere to be found, i mean i had doug boles looking for the golf cart, the president of indianapolis motor speedway. tim: and his step-dad. alex: -and his sted-dad. i had mechanics. hinch: it was a search party. there was an apb out for conor's golf cart and it could not be located on the grounds. alex: nowhere to be found. and then i was like 'okay. we're not going to do it tonight, but his golf cart is gonna be in pitlane on carb day and while he's in the car there's nothing that he's gonna be able to do.' and sure enough, conor was so concerned his golf cart never surfaced and he rode to pitlane with either his teammate or his team owner. he stopped commuting all at once. 'cause he was so concerned about what was gonna happen. tim: he went to such great lenghts to inconvenience himself to stop you from minorly inconveniencing him. you were gonna mess with the golf cart so he was just like. no golf cart!

the way i can just imagine alex going through the entire fucking ims looking for conor's golf cart and roping in everyone around him to look for it too.

tim: i feel like we could do something else to him. hinch: yeah, i mean we could burn his house down but it's attached to other houses so that's risky. alex: so literally- i literally threathened that, i was so mad at him. 'cause he also, on media day took my golf cart key and hid it. and i literally walked by him and said 'i'm literally going to blow up your house.' i was SO PISSED. hinch: ...wait...i though hunter-reay hid your key? alex: well- hinch: hunter-reay took my key. alex: -still gonna blow up conor's house. tim: i think you've admitted to a couple of felonies on this podcast. alex: i mean. whatever at this point.

THIS MAN IS FUCKING BONKERS AND I LOVE HIM 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

TRAILER:

[sugdenlovesdingle]

ok Duncan winning eurovision is great but let’s talk hosts for next year.

let’s all agree to keep Geer&Goor, Albert Verlinde, and AliB (the guy is everywhere and he annoys me) well away from it all ok?

Maybe Paul de Leeuw or Andre van Duin? Definitely Claudia de Breij.

Alex Klaasen would be a fun host too. See how many dresses/outfits can he wear in one night.

And getting Douwe involved would be fun too. I think things would get messy with him around - as they should.

[frank-o-meter]

Recently I made some posts about the cast of “Space 1999”. That got me thinking about how a modern retelling might look like. So I thought I’d do my own “casting” of the characters.

For Commander Koenig and Dr. Russell I thought I go with another husband and wife team. I think both Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz could breath some life into those characters.

In general I kept the cast with the same race/country of origin as the originals but I thought the “Stars” needed a bit more racial diversity. The role of Professor Bergman was a good opportunity. I picked Laurence Fishburne but Morgan Freeman was a close second. Commission Simmonds would play a major role in the first film and Craig would need a good antagonist. How about Mads Mikklesen?

The role of Maya was difficult to cast. It needs someone who can add an alienesque quality while still being relatable. Alicia Vikander was terrific as the humanlike robot in “Ex Machina” and she could handle the resident metamorph. For her father Mentor, I picked Brian Cox who has the same blustery style as Brian Blessed (although I considered Ian McKellan). In a movie they would be introduced early, before the moon left its orbit.

For the Aussie Alan Carter how about Aussie Ryan Kwanten formerly of True Blood. For Sandra I picked Frieda Pinto.

Here’s the entire cast:

MOONBASE ALPHA

* John Koenig - Daniel Craig * Helena Russell - Rachel Weisz * Dr. Bergman - Laurence Fishburne * Commissioner Simmonds - Mads Mikkelsen * Alan Carter - Ryan Kwanten * Sandra Benes - Frieda Pinto * Maya - Alicia Vikander * Mentor - Brian Cox * Tony Verdeschi - Giulio Berruti * Paul Morrow - Dan Stevens * David Kano - John Boyega * Tanya Aleksander - Diane Kruger * Yasko - Rinko Kikuchi * Bob Mathias - Anthony Mackie * Bill Fraser - Alex Russell * Alibe - Janelle Monáe

ALiB Alex taking his photographer duties very seriously, because Pato and his influencer status is very important - who else is gonna pay for the three dogs they’re raising together?

Bonus: he’s gonna make this a side hustle like a stay at home mom with a spare Canon lying around.

[nico-di-genova]

for some reason i can't stop picturing alib alex having the most inactive Instagram ever, and then suddenly after not posting for about 5 years he just makes a post of him and pato <3

also.. will james make any appearances in alib (he and alexs friendship is so dear to me)

Oh yeah, no, that’s exactly it. He doesn’t know what a soft launch is, and he doesn’t care. Half his friends have no idea he’s even dating someone until he posts something like this:

And then they’re all like ??? One year??? Boyfriend???

James (who will not make an appearance in the fic, but who will be offhand mentioned by Alex) probably finds out through, like, an insta story, or something.

Alex mainly keeps to himself, and is super closed off, Pato’s really the first person to get close to him (James moves out of Florida once he graduates, so it’s hard for him to be there for Alex consistently). He doesn’t really think to keep his friends/family informed on his life, so they usually find out after the fact. His dad doesn’t even know Alex is getting married until he receives the invite in the mail (more out of obligation than Alex actually wanting him there). James is really the only person to stay somewhat informed, and that’s because he makes a habit of checking in on Alex consistently and ensuring they maintain a relationship. So yeah, he’s got an inactive social media presence and a hermit lifestyle and everyone who wants to stay close to him just comes to expect that.

James is still flying in monthly to see him though, and Alex visits him consistently, knows the guest bedroom is always waiting for him. That’s his best friend, Alex is stuck with him (affectionate).

[nico-di-genova]

feel free to ramble about alib alex all you want bc why are you making me love him 🤨

Bestie, you should not have given me permission to do this, because I am going to take you up on this offer and make you fall in love with alib Alex even more.

(Zoom in for little snippets about him if you want, sorry the quality’s probably terrible)

He’s from California (parents still live there, but he stayed in Florida after graduating because his internship turned into a full time job). He was a member of the same frat as Pato when he was still in school, actually held the treasurer position because he’s always just been weirdly good with numbers.

Known as “the cool guy” in that he comes off outwardly very calm, due to his introvert nature. At parties he’s typically the guy standing in the corner with a beer, unless he’s comfortable with you, then it’s a different story.

Raised Christian, says he’s agnostic now, but still has a Christian worldview that meant it took him a while to be okay with his sexuality. Hence, he’s in the unique position of understanding Pato and his struggle with his own sexuality.

Also like Pato, he’s a car guy. He own a McLaren, simple black because he doesn’t want the attention, just wants a car that can go fast. He and Pato go to a lot of car shows, which Pato is very excited about because he knows most of his friends didn’t really care for them. And Alex is excited about being able to go with Pato because he hasn’t really had friends/a partner at all to do stuff with since he graduated.

Lowkey, he got depression. Since he went straight into his career after graduating, and has been working as an accountant for 9 years by the time Pato meets him, he’s feeling very stuck where he’s at. He goes on vacations to get a break from work and he tries to talk to people, but since he usually comes off as brusque or rude he’s kind of a loner (once again, super introverted, just doesn’t easily trust either).

He and Pato start out as just friends, they don’t actually kiss or anything until spring of Pato’s senior year. But Pato spends the night at his place a lot, because of certain plot things happening by his senior year, and the guest room basically just becomes his. Nala, Alex’s dog that he adopted as a puppy, sleeps in the room with most nights and Norbi, Pato’s dog, actually ends up with Alex.

Alex is just a chill guy who’s maybe a little sad, but it’s okay because he has his dog and a cool car.

[nico-di-genova]

pleaseee share any pato/alex headcanons for alib? i miss them an unhealthy amount

I miss them, and I’m the one creating them. My brain when I think about ALiB Palex is honestly just this:

Which makes it hard to have cohesive thoughts about them most the time. But have this random headcanon dump:

They have a method when it comes to chores. Pato does the laundry, but Alex folds and puts it away. Alex cleans the kitchen, but Pato organizes/cleans out the fridge (and also washes the dishes because Alex hates touching wet food). They work around each other, basically in synchrony. If Lance and Fernando are ever over for dinner and they stay to try to help clean they usually just find themselves standing off to the side kind of watching Alex and Pato work together effortlessly.

They love beach days. Usually if they’re going to the beach it is a full day affair. Sometimes they rent a whole beach house because they need to get away from work and regular life for a bit. Pato has a favorite one at Anna Maria island that Alex is always sure to get if they’re looking to leave the Fort Myers area for the weekend. The dogs also love the beach, so there’s long walks along the shoreline in the morning and afternoon with pauses for Norbi and Nala to play and chase each other. They rent jet skis and race each other with no real finish line set. Afternoons are spent watching the sunset and lounging on a blanket, pato resting his head on Alex’s chest and starting to doze off to the sound of heartbeat. Pato always gets sunburnt, because he’s insistent on layering sunscreen on Alex’s back but usually forgoes his own. He’ll insist he doesn’t need it but then ends the weekend looking like this:

Alex learns to start stocking up on aloe Vera when they stop at the grocery story for sandwiches and snacks in the morning. Pato is always very grateful for it come nighttime when he’s laying in bed with overly warm skin.

Their wedding is perhaps a beach wedding at the beach house. The dogs are the ring bearers ofc 😌. Lance is Pato’s best man, James is Alex’s. Esteban actually gets certified so he can officiate the wedding.

They adopt a third dog after their honeymoon, because Brunner needs to be apart of alib, obviously.

They’re both super active. Alex because he likes the routine of working out, the consistency of it, and because it’s really good for his mental health. Pato for the same reasons, but also because he’s just really passionate about it, about taking care of his body (but he also maybe goes overboard occasionally). So they workout together sometimes, not all the time, they like having their space. When Pato wants to do intense lifting Alex is usually his spotter.

They buy insane amounts of dog toys, and Alex spends an equally insane amount of time trying to organize them.

Arguments over who’s going to drive are common, they both hate being the passenger because they both hate not having control of the car. Usually this is settled with rock paper scissors, sometimes they get inventive.

Alex is always going all out for Pato’s birthday, but he hates the same attention in return. Pato’s learned he’s more comfortable doing things when it’s just the two of them, or a close group of friends. One year he takes Alex horseback riding, calls around until he can find the best place with the most secluded trails. He makes sure it’s not all flat land and empty fields, tries to find a place that has towering pine trees because he knows Alex likes the woods. It ends up being one of Alex’s favorite birthdays.

Before they started dating, when they were in the extended friends with flirty vibes zone and Pato would spend the night a lot, they got really into Mario kart. Alex is always insisting they play the N64 version, ‘the real one’ as he calls it. He consistently beats Pato in every race until one day Pato starts coming over and just kicking his ass out of nowhere. Turns out he bought his own console and game and had been playing with Esteban and Lance until he eventually got good enough to beat Alex. He was training, as he likes to call it, though Alex is still trying to figure out ways he could have been cheating.

There was a massive hurricane that hit the area during Pato’s senior year, he rode the storm out at Alex’s place. This is how he finds out Alex has a fear of storms, and also how they both find out Norbi and Nala share this trait. Pato isn’t necessarily cool with them, but he ends up playing the cool and collected one by default.

The first time Pato kisses Alex he’s a little drunk, and it’s impulsive. Alex doesn’t kiss him back, because he doesn’t want Pato to feel like he’s taking advantage of him. Instead, he waits until he’s sober and then kisses him properly.

[nico-di-genova]

alexs follower to following ratio is killing me omll, truly the guy that everybody think of as a friend, when in reality he only considers a few people to be his friends, also hoping pato can bring a little bit of sunshine to his life!

No truly 😭.

He mainly gained the followers during college, just from fraternity stuff, and then no one really unfollowed him because he posts so infrequently they kind of just don’t realize he still exists (a little sad, but whatever). People from work also follow him, like the group of people he sometimes grabs a beer with do, but he only follows like two of them back.

And yes! They’re gonna bring light to each other’s lives 🥰. Pato physically tho, since he’s probably pulling Alex out of bed early to go on morning runs and making him actually see the sunrise.

[nico-di-genova]

i feel like it would be so funny if in alib alex still was on the amazing race 😭 he just seems like the type of dude to have the most RANDOM lore ever

Actually, you’re so correct.

And he’d drop it at the most random time too. Like he’s hanging out with Pato and Lance, Lance is talking about something completely unrelated and Alex just says “reminds me of the time I visited Zimbabwe.”

To which there is a pause.

And Alex just adds.

“You know. For the Amazing Race.”

Very much they did not know, and whatever conversation they were having quickly detours into how the fuck Alex ended up on the show. And then devolves further into them just having a full on watch party.

Pato quickly learns that there’s very little Alex hasn’t done, and yet he’s still shocked and surprised when Alex just drops lore on him randomly.

[nico-di-genova]

6 and/or 9??? and pairing is dealer's choice 👀

9. What is the most common cause of conflict between them?

Lance/Fernando

The future. Fernando never wants to get in Lance’s way, or prevent him from pursuing something because of their relationship. Lance gets frustrated that Fernando thinks he’s not smart enough to make his own decisions. They try to avoid talking about anything long term or down the road in the beginning of their relationship. And it takes them a while to learn how to navigate conversations pertaining to their goals and prospective life together.

Pato/Alex

Finances. Alex is big on saving and money management. He sits down and plans a budget at the start of every month and he has a savings account that he’s always trying to maintain. Pato, on the other hand, tends to be impulsive. He doesn’t think before he spends, and he doesn’t give much thought to savings because in his mind he could die at any moment and all that saving would be utterly pointless. It leads to a lot of tension when they move in together. Pato thinks Alex is too strict with his budget, so if Alex says he can’t pay for something because he’s hit his limit for the week, Pato would always just offer to pay. It was frustrating for both of them and they but heads a lot about money until they could eventually talk to each other and understand where the other was coming from.

[nico-di-genova]

A Lesson in Braking boys and their songs:

Lance

“I hate you for what you did, and I miss you like a little kid.”

Fernando

“You’re so much older and wiser, and I- I wait by the door like I’m just a kid.”

Pato

“Without ever touching his skin, how can I be guilty as sin?”

Alex

“God loves you, but not enough to save you.”

[nico-di-genova]

number 2 for palex 🥺

2.)  Who confessed? How?

Pato, a few weeks after he drunkenly tried to kiss Alex at one of their post-work hangouts. He showed up at Alex’s house late at night, panicking because he was worried he’d ruined their friendship. Alex had become a huge support system for him, and he didn’t want to lose that over feelings he was trying desperately to repress.

He was also panicking in general over a million other things. Alex brought him in, calmed him down, held him until he fell asleep and they talked it all out in the morning over the breakfast Alex cooked for him.

[nico-di-genova]

Sending hugs always!

11.)  How do they express their love?  (Some people are physical, others rely on compliments and gestures, some give their time, etc).

For the pair of your choice, please and thank you.

Pato/Alex

Pato: physical touch

He’s the friend who will hug you any chance he gets, rests his head on your shoulder, or holds your hand just because he can. For Alex, who is not a fan of frequent physical contact, it takes some getting used to. He finds he doesn’t mind it as much when it’s Pato who is resting his head in his lap or coming up behind him in the kitchen to wrap his arms around Alex as he cooks. It grows familiar, and becomes a comfort almost. And he knows if it’s too much, or if he’s feeling like he needs his space, that Pato will respect that.

Alex: quality time

Love, to him, is sitting on the couch with him and the dogs between them, watching a shitty reality television show because they both like laughing at the absurdity of it. You don’t even need to be talking to him, just being around him in silent company is enough. He likes the simplicity of just having someone he loves near, knowing they’re taking time out of their day to sit down and spend it with him. Mario kart tournaments where they’re both elbowing each other trying to get the other to mess up, or meals that they cooked together shared at the table, are truly some of his favorite moments with Pato.
