#also when I say he knows they’re together he has seen a few videos of them interact

[sadaveniren]

My sibling upon hearing the news of Holivia: so when does Harry go on a sad bachelors retreat and reconnect with his old friend Louis and then they end up married.

His knowledge of larrie is that he knows they’re together and they made gay teddy bears but nothing else. He is completely unaware this has been what fandom has been saying should happen for years (to get them back together)

jack champion x reader in behind the scenes of avatar where they're always seen asleep on each others shoulders?

THIS IS SO CUTE AAA

Good Days — Jack Champion ★

PAIRING: Jack Champion X gn!reader

SUMMARY: in Jamie’s little YouTube documentary he took of behind the scenes for Avatar you and Jack are always asleep on each others shoulders.

A/N: im going through my requests and doing my best to zoom through them also trying to get inspo for the new Jack fic 😛🫶 Hope you enjoy, my loves! ALSO THIS WILL BE TOTALLY INACCURATE idk what actors do when they aren’t filming I tried watching interviews to get info but they gave me nothing so this is the best I can do </3

this reminded me of good days by SZA 🥹

Since Avatar 2 came out in December a few behind the scenes clips have been released. The most popular one being Jamie’s documentary he made on YouTube. It was so cute it brought you to tears the first time you saw it, all the happy memories of filming overwhelmed you in the best way possible.

Before watching it you didn’t realize how you and Jack were almost always around each other. Specifically you guys were always asleep on each other. Your smile got even brighter as you watched a clip of you and Jack when you were younger resting before you guys had to film. You were both sitting in your trailer and still had the dots on your face and the performance capture suits on and your hair was still up. You could hear Jamie and Bailey laughing in the background as the went into they trailer and filmed you both.

Jamie and Bailey walked in the trailer, camera in hand, “Y/N can i get an interview with-“ he cut himself off when he saw you and Jack asleep. You were sitting on the small couch with your head on his shoulder. Bailey awwed at the two of you while Jamie boo’d and that made Bailey nudge him before they both walked out, playfully bickering with each other.

You kept watching the video and the second time you saw you and Jack asleep was in the car. It was taken at least a year later. The younger cast decided to go to the beach for a break and you two were asleep in the car. This time he had fallen asleep against you. Jamie was filming Trinity talking and she pointed out you and Jack.

“Look they’re asleep!”, she whisper yelled. “Oh, when are they not?” Jamie responded before turning the camera to you both. You were against the window and Jacks head was on yours, because of the height difference. “They look so peaceful.” Bailey quietly laughed before Trinity got bored and bugged her to play something with her.

You grinned as you watched different clips of you and your cast mates. Premieres, hang outs, dinners, little interviews. You were really glad Jamie put this together. There was a clip of Jack giving you a piggy back ride while Trinity chased you two around. You listened to what Bailey, Filip, and Jamie had to say about the whole process while clips of you and your cast mates having fun played in the background.

Near the end of the video there was a third clip of you and Jack asleep. You truly didn’t know that it was a thing between the two of you before watching this video, but it was special. In the third clip it was when you guys were a little older, at least 15-16 and you were in a hotel lobby. Bailey had the camera this time.

The camera was pointed at the two of you, “And here we have the two lovebirds!” She then pointed it back to herself. “I wonder how many shots Jamie has taken of them asleep. How many do you think, Trinity?” Bailey pointed the camera towards Trinity, who was next to her. She put her finger on her chin, pretending to think. “At least 10.” “10? I think it might be a few more but I’m not sure how many he’ll use.” Bailey flipped it to you both again while her and Trinity made bets. Your head was on his shoulder and your hands were intertwined.

The video ended and you closed your computer and smiled to yourself as you looked to see Jack asleep next to you.

THIS IS SO ADORABLE AND NOT PROOF READ!!

[loveinhawkins]

i’ve recently become aware of this starcourt mall commercial & i’m dying at the thought of Eddie seeing it, bored out of his mind, until Steve appears on screen with that stupid sailor’s hat and the world’s most awkward, “Ahoy!”, and, oh, Eddie’s grin is evil.

“Why did you tape over Dallas?” Wayne asks that night.

“Wayne,” Eddie says solemnly, “I needed to record the best moment of my life.”

Of course, Steve finds the tape later, because the universe likes to laugh at Eddie, apparently.

Spring Break of ‘86 is a few weeks away—thanks to one distracted moment, Eddie unknowingly puts the wrong tape in the case before returning a rental to Family Video, then speeding off to band practice.

Steve doesn’t notice the mixup until a few hours later, when he routinely opens the VHS cases to check that the tapes have been rewound. When he sees the tape devoid of any movie sticker, he can’t resist watching it; his shift is dragging by.

He gets 20 minutes into Dallas before it cuts off, and the commercial plays.

His jaw drops, and he groans in embarrassment, but he’s laughing when he calls for Robin in the back room, and then they’re watching it together, cracking up. They both remember filming it, remember looking at each other and swearing to never speak of it again, but they’d never actually seen it, and well… it is pretty funny.

Steve gets an evil grin of his own when he sees that the rental account is in Eddie’s name.

When he calls, he gets Mr. Munson on the phone, and because Steve can also be a meddling little shit when the conditions are right, he makes up some story about the store having new forms, that he just needs Eddie to sign one quickly.

The next day, Eddie strolls in, and Steve looks him right in the eye.

“Ahoy, Munson,” he says, deadpan.

Eddie freezes in place. He briefly considers turning around and walking into traffic.

“Harrington,” he says stiffly.

“Hey, man,” Steve says, relentlessly chipper, “so we’re kinda down on one copy of—” He glances over to the computer. “—Life of Brian, and up one copy of, uh…” He lifts Eddie’s tape off the counter, smirks. “I guess, half of Dallas.”

Eddie stalks over. “It was… for school,” he blurts out unconvincingly. “Recording Hawkins history. Nothing personal, King Steve.”

Steve lets the venom in the nickname bounce off him. “Starcourt was pretty, uh, historic,” he says mildly, fighting another smirk.

“Whatever,” Eddie snaps, losing what little patience he has left—despite all of his performances to the contrary, the thought of people laughing at him still makes his skin crawl. “Let me get out of your massive hair, Harrington, and I’ll bring your fucking video back.”

Steve raises one hand, palm out. “Woah, chill,” he says, and as Eddie’s nostrils flare, he feels a little twinge of guilt; he didn’t actually mean for all of this to come across as mean-spirited or anything. “Sorry, man. I’m not trying to be a dick, I swear.”

Eddie rolls his eyes. “Could’ve fooled me.” But he looks a little calmer, raises an eyebrow. Well?

“Here,” Steve says, handing over the tape, and he doesn’t react when Eddie snatches it back. “Oh, and I extended the rental on your movie.” He shrugs. “Saves you a double trip, y’know?”

“Thanks,” Eddie says, after a pause.

“No biggie.” And when Eddie makes to leave, Steve calls, “Hey, Munson?”

Eddie turns at the door, no longer quite as cagey. “What?”

Steve shrugs again. “Thanks for the mixup, I guess?”

“You’re kidding,” Eddie says flatly.

“No, I mean it, dude. Like, once I got over the, well, embarrassment of, um, everything, it was actually kinda… nice to see it.” He nods to Robin in one of the aisles, guiding a customer over to a movie. “Me and Robin, we—it was nice to have something about Starcourt that we could laugh at.”

Eddie considers him. “Were you in the fire?”

Steve smiles, and if Eddie didn’t know any better, he’d say there’s more than straightforward sadness on his face. “Yeah, got caught up in it.”

Eddie slowly, thoughtfully, opens the door but doesn’t leave, leans against it. He looks Steve up and down. “Damn shame you don’t have a hat in your get-up here, Harrington.”

Steve mock scowls, ruffles his hair. “I’m not suffering through that again.”

Eddie finds himself smiling without meaning to. “You poor thing. I guess once is enough.”

And Steve rolls his eyes this time. “Yeah, yeah, once. You’ve goddamn immortalised it, Munson.”

Eddie snorts. “Oh, but I had to,” he says, tucking the tape under his arm, “for posterity. In a hundred years, there’ll be sonnets written about your sailor outfit, Steve Harrington.”

And, whoops, that wasn’t planned, Eddie thinks. Laying it on a bit thick there.

Steve laughs, but not at him; Eddie can tell now. “Go enjoy your Saturday, Munson.”

Eddie gives a lazy salute. “Ahoy.”

And as Eddie leaves, he spots a note on the counter, next to the usual Be kind, rewind reminders. It’s handwritten, with a cartoony winking face: And check what’s inside!

SPOILERS FOR ST5 FILMING THIS WEEK+ A THEORY

Okay, I’m going to try and break down all the filming leaks we got this week and put them together into a theory.

In case you don’t know yet, ST’s production has moved back to Stone Mountain, GA this week. This is a woodsy area that’s been used before in the show to film all the UD forest scenes as well as just the regular forest scenes in the show.

On Monday of this week, someone who lives close to the area came upon a set. And it was the Castle Byers pictures we got. I’ll add them here too.

Some observations. To me this version of castle Byers doesn’t look like the original one we first saw. That one was much fuller and looked more stable. It also doesn’t look like the version Will left behind after destroying it in S3. We know the UD is stuck on the time Will was there, so imo the version of castle Byers we are seeing here is the one that was damaged by the demogorgon when it grabbed Will, back in S1.

Based on this pic and a little video of the set, we all speculated they could be filming something related to Will, perhaps even a flashback. Here’s where it gets interesting.

I was looking at the castingtaylormade insta page (they post all the casting for extras and photo doubles needed for the show) and I came across this.

Production was looking for a minor photo double and “adult” one to work on the 20th (aka Tuesday of this week) as well as some other dates in February and March.

Now, we know they were filming at the castle Byers set the same day that this minor photo double was needed. I don’t think I need to spell it out here. They were looking for a child, so younger Will scenes are basically a guarantee to have been filmed this week. As for the adult photo double filming the same date, well there’s quite a few options. If it’s a little Will flashback/vision we’re gonna see, perhaps the adult photo double is gonna be older Will himself. Maybe we’ll get current Will having visions of his younger self and his time in the UD, and we’ll see both versions of him. Let’s not forget he was able to shift to the UD in S2 without physically being there.

Another option for the adult photo double could be Vecna. Will and Vecna are bound to share scenes this season, so perhaps we’ll see whether Vecna was involved from the get go in Will’s disappearance.

Now it gets even more interesting, because today we got new pics of the “UD” set from this week. There’s a lot of fog, and a very poignant blue and red lighting mix.

We know the UD usually has a blue tint, but there’s been instances where it has looked red, especially in S4. However, the most red we’ve ever seen in the UD was when Will was having his S2 visions of the MF, remember how he would appear in a cloud of hellish red and lights would flash? Yeah. Another big use of red in this show has been for visions, like Will’s UD ones but also El in Billy’s mind in S3. And ofc more notably Max’s Vecna vision in S4.

I want to specifically focus on one picture.

As you can see, there appears to be a figure walking along the tree path, with perhaps a taller figure on the left but that is hard to tell because it could just be part of the tree. Stranger Things Spoilers was the account that got these set photos and look at the comment they just liked on Insta.

I think it’s safe to say they’re hinting that the figure walking is Will.

Which basically ties this whole week of filming together and seems to be pointing at the fact that Will is gonna be exploring his UD connection and that’s a major component of this season (duh).

I personally think we’re gonna see Will have visions of his time there as a child, but also he will be able to go there mentally like he did in S2, perhaps this time being taunted and brainwashed by Vecna. “He spies back”.

So there you go folks, it seems like our beloved Will Byers is gonna be greatly suffering from supernatural horrors beyond our comprehension, once again.

I wonder what will be able to pull him back from all this mental deterioration he’s surely gonna face again.

Could it be the power of family love and perhaps…gay love?

The Duffers did say to rewatch S2 🤷‍♀️

Let’s talk about “replacement”

If you’ve been in the dc fandom for longer than maybe a week, you’ve probably seen it before. It’s present in fanfics, tumblr posts, role plays, and fanart. On the off chance that you somehow don’t know about it, “replacement” is a sort of nickname often used for Tim Drake by Jason Todd

This post is going to be cut, I’m going to leave the explanation out but there should be two other sections under it as well

Where did it come from?

There are two possible places that the use of it came from

The first is from a Batman comic series from 2002 called “hush” and I’ll spare you most spoilers about the comic but the part of it that’s important to this conversation has to do with Bruce, Jason, Tim, Selina, and Clayface

While catwoman is fighting huntress (Helena Bertanelli) who is currently drugged by poison ivy, Bruce is worried that Helena is going to force Selina to kill her so he tells Tim (who is Robin at the time) to stay where is and look for someone

Before Bruce can tell him who he’s looking for a figure appears behind Tim and says he’s the one they’re looking for, before hitting Tim and calling him “pretender”

When Bruce finds Tim he’s being held at knifepoint by “Jason” who begins lashing out and then fighting Bruce. Eventually he melts in the rain and is shown to be only made out of clay, and the real Jason Todd is still dead.

The important thing about this, is that Jason never called Tim “pretender,” he never held Tim at knifepoint point (if you ever see anything about Jason “slitting Tim’s throat” that’s where it’s from, Tim was fine all he needed was a bandage), all of it was done by Clayface who was mimicking Dick Graysons movements and using what he knew about Jason to manipulate Bruce.

As to where “replacement” specifically came from, the only time I’ve ever heard about its origin was in a TikTok where the person who made the video said it came from a fanfic (which is very likely true), in the comics Jason has never called Tim by that name

Why does the nickname not make sense?

The nickname doesn’t make sense because if anyone would be a pretender or replacement, it’s Jason. Jason Todd is one of the original robins but he isn’t the original Robin. That title will always belong to DIck Grayson.

And in brining up something like this you have to acknowledge the origins of the moniker in the first place. The name “Robin” came from a nickname that Mary Grayson had for her son, I’m fairly sure the original reasoning was because he was born in the early spring. The reason DIck chose to go by Robin is because the name was important to him, it let him feel closer to his late mother, similarly to how the original Robin costume is based on his flying Grayson’s outfit.

But when Dick was 17 or 18 he was shot in the shoulder by the joker, and Bruce tells him that he can’t keep risking his life as Robin, so he fires him. Dick moves out to Blüdhaven, starts working almost solely with the teen titans, and gets a new moniker (nightwing) given to him by Superman.

And then Bruce adopts Jason, and he gives him Dick’s name and uniform, putting a new child in the way of harm. And yes, Jason did make Robin his own but it was not his, he would have no right to put a claim over the name.

Why does any of this matter?

In short, it doesn’t. There is nothing inherently wrong with writing Jason using the term but in my opinion for their relationship, it just dosen’t make sense.

In the comics Jason has a complicated relationship with everyone in the batfamily, he’s grappling with coming back to life and trying to find a place for himself while also working through his own grief and anger

When you read comics though, when they’re together they often work well together and even hang out a few times, there’s one panel where Jason is trying to take tim out to get a drink (underage drinking is bad don’t do it/lh), and they have a fairly normal sibling dynamic with each other

Which is why I don’t understand where the concept of all the hate and resentment came from in the fandom, I’m genuinely curious as to know why it’s so prominent everywhere

no. 5 - cabin firekey masterlist

    “welcome to cabin firekey.. terrible name, i know! i wasn’t the one to chose it though,” you open the doors to your cabin, turning around to look at all of the kids joining you for the duration of camp.

  they all look different from each other, all intrigued by different things. a few of them hold their phones, eyes lit up with the bright blue lights. a couple of them holding their bags while dancing on the balls of their feet. you could picture yourself in them, each of them, even the one who seemingly wants nothing to do with camp.

  “as you all know, my name is y/n, and i’m your counselor. we’ll be competing in activities, hosting a talent show, and having some fun in between. i know that this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but i’m hoping we can enjoy ourselves,” you take in a deep breath, clasping your hands together, “so pick your bunk and we’ll get to know each other.”

  as they filter into the cabin, you look back into the woods and spot atsumu with his group. he’s already engaging them all in a discussion, expressing himself with his hands and movements. you bite your lip, wondering if this counselor thing was going to be as easy as he’s making it appear from afar.

  you turn back to your cabin, looking around to see that most of the kids had already set their things down. the couple of them that seemed excited had quickly laid out their things, styled it some, their attention on their fellow cabin mates.

  “so, i’ve already seen the names of everyone joining, but how about you give some names to the faces and a fun fact about yourself?” your heart rate quickens as you see all of them looking over at you. 

  the looks on their faces practically scream that they’re all socially nervous, hoping for someone else to start the conversation, “uh, we can start with me.. i used to come to this camp when i was your age. i actually met a lot of my good friends here. mmh i also really like to play video games, so if this stuff isn’t your cup of tea, i’m always good to talk about that.”

  being welcoming was the only way you could think to get them involved. to bring about a side of them that they wouldn’t normally show to others, which is why you loved this camp. slowly, the girls all started to get out of their shells some. like amaya who joined the camp so her parents would buy her a new computer part. or kaida who wants to work in wilderness conservation, paired with her twin kaori who loves theater. 

  it slowly brought smiles to most of their faces, a few still stubborn.. and honestly, you couldn’t help but feel overjoyed that even if it’s your first day, it’s a better week than you could imagine. at least, it has been going well, now all you need for the perfect day is a great dinner. 

  “okay, tonight, the only thing on our agenda is dinner. they’ll have a few options for dietary needs, so please let the servers know if you need anything specifically,” you grab your phone and stuff it into your pocket, standing by the door, “and you can sit wherever. if you know someone from another group, feel free to say hi.”

  “could we sit with you?” hanae, one of the shyer girls, raises her hand slightly, pursing her lips.

  you nod immediately, “for sure, i’ll probably see some of my friends, but yeah, plus you guys can help think of some filler activities between the main stuff.”

  this seemed to make some of the kids a bit more confident, walking down the path together with a pip in their step. you subconsciously look towards where atsumu’s cabin is again, him and his group already gone from their area. almost instantly, you look back forward, scolding yourself for even wondering what he would be up to. you don’t care, you probably shouldn’t care.

  especially when he likely doesn’t even take a peek in your direction, unknowingly setting off a chain reaction of emotions within you-

  “y/n!” a voice comes from your right, the noise of someone running up to you forcing your head to look at the person.

  all you can see is a tuff of blonde hair as someone wraps their arms around you. however, the feeling of the short-stature automatically makes you know that it’s the nishinoya. “noya! i would’ve assumed you would already be at the mess hall.”

  “nah the dudes ended up wanting to catch some bugs so we lost track of time- but can you believe atsumu is here? the balls on that dude,” he shakes his head, completely ignoring the many younger kids surrounding the two of you. 

  you laugh some, shaking your head, “i can’t stop him from being a camp counselor here, and neither can you. besides he doesn’t even remember me! so trust me when i say that it’s not balls.”

  nishinoya bumps into you some, his two left feet unable to walk straight on the narrow dirt path. every little thing starts to help you remember things from camp that you never would’ve thought of. the two of you trekking through the trees, him constantly bumping into you cause he leans when he walks. his voice loud and quick, always making the conversation feel shorter than it is.

  “okay.. but i could fuck him up if need be!”

  “dude don’t you have like ten year olds in your group? and no, don’t even think about it. i will get my revenge when and if the time is right, young noya,” you bow a little, acting as if he’s your padawan. 

  he shrugs his shoulders, eyes clearly now focused on the mess hall. his mind switching between the conversation at hand and the mouth-watering food that the both of you could remember osamu making. you smile to yourself, trying to listen as he discusses some talent show thing his group wants to do. 

taglist (open): @lemurzsquad, @froyaoya, @localgaytrainwreck a/n: noya’s here!! i love writing him and hope you guys like it too

141 + Fangs with the reader who has a paper star making addiction. (Platonic) /nf

You feed me so well pooks 😇

For context: Fangs is also a CoD oc sorta thingy of mine 😚 I’ll add theirs at the end for anyone who’s interested 💟💟

-

141 + Fangs & Paper star addicted reader <3

Price:

• Really doesn’t get it. He adores how often you gift them to him but has absolutely no clue what to do with them.

• Ended up repurposing one of his desk drawers to fill them with. Also generally always has some laying around.

• Is irrationally pissy whenever someone insults them. Think they’re weird? At least his partner loves him enough to spend their time making things for him instead of shitty storebought gifts every other month, Samantha.

Gaz:

• Is absolutely giddy about them.

• Learns to make them with you so you two can make a collection together 😇

• Came up with the idea of making them out of sugar paper and incorporating them into food as well, bc why not??

• Puts them literally everywhere. He has little tupperware boxes and mugs full of them placed all over his room.

Ghost:

• Secretly loves sitting and watching you make them. Seeing your fingers curl around the paper with each other fold, it’s just mesmerising to him.

• Can’t get the hang of it himself, though. Poor lad’s fumbling, catching his fingers on every other corner, his hands are just too big.

• Has at least one on him at all times. On a mission? Scattered across his vest pockets. Out running errands? One on the specially made keychain his house keys are on.

• Gets surprisingly upset if any of them get ripped/damaged. Still has a few on his floor because god knows this man has knocked over piles or containers of them, and/or used them as extra ammo during pillow fights.

Soap:

• Similar to Gaz, also very happy about them 😇

• Incorporates them into random things in his life. Definitely shaved a few stars into his mohawk. Maybe even got a star-related tattoo.

• Has them literally everywhere. Whenever he cleans up or redecorates his room, he’ll find at least a dozen just strewn about.

• Can’t exactly get the hang of tiny paper stars either, so whenever he makes them with you he gets big strips of paper so he can actually fold them.

• Always complains about how disarming explosives/tinkering with the tiny, intricate little bits in his snipers is somehow easier than folding those stupid bloody bits of paper.

• Angst warning ahead - Have you lot seen that tiktok video of the person who’s father hid rubber ducks around their house, and after he passed they found one in the console of their car? Yeah. That’s what you’re met with after MW3. You’re welcome 😇 (edit: found it on reddit instead of tt 😚)

Fangs:

• A little confused at first, but eventually catches up with it.

• Will get deeply upset if they lose one you’ve gifted them. Yeah, they have at least three hundred others, but it was a gift from you!!

• Like Soap, starts bringing them into projects. Impulsively starts a full art project based completely around them, and has to shamefully slink over and ask you to make them more 😇

• Sorta gets the hang of them. To say they’re a bit wonky is an understatement, but they’re trying their best, and they don’t really mind as long as they’re having fun (silently raged for at least half an hour over them).

• Paints a star on their favourite rifle. Price wasn’t very happy when they went on a night mission and he spotted a little painted star glowing in the dark, and they very reluctantly peeled of the paint and replaced it with a less noticeable colour.

Giggle donee 😇 My brains been kinda rotting over this lately and I have a Farah ask that I’m going a liiil feral over so yippee 🎉 (if ur seeing this i love u farah anon(s?) /p 😋)

Okok yaya but thanks pooks this dragged me out of my like writing hole very happy 💪

[neonnoir-ao3]

Okay so I absolutely adore both high fantasy levels of storytelling as well as extremely mundane AUs. But when it comes to making my own AUs? I’m the ultimate slut for hilariously mundane slice-of-life stuff. (I literally made a domestic/family AU for what is considered one of the scariest analog horror series to date)

So as soon as I saw the words “carnival AU” in a post from @sm-baby about their carnival AU (I am begging you to check it out, it’s absolutely phenomenal), I had the stupidest fucking thought: a shitty little Showtime carnival AU

No, literally. A literal carnival.

Like a traveling circus with a midway of games and shit. County fair style rides that are literal death traps. The whole nine yards.

Pomni is a disgruntled wage slave (nothing new) who starts her new second (perhaps even third?) job: a temporary one at a local carnival. It’s like a month long event at most, but extra cash is extra cash.

Alongside her, Gangle and Zooble are also temporary workers for the event. Jax, Ragatha, and Kinger are circus members— Ragatha is one of those human pincushions in the sense that she has an insanely high pain tolerance (she also does sword swallowing). Kinger is a magician, and Jax does acrobatics or something idk. Caine, as always, is the ringmaster.

So Pomni & crew are working the carnival games and stuff while the circus does their performances, but they all share a break area so they know each other and shoot the shit, but she never sees the ringmaster. The circus members allude to him being… off. Ragatha says he’s just eccentric, but Jax basically paints them a picture of a genuinely unhinged man. Pomni is now extremely afraid of the guy that’s in charge of her paycheck.

She manages to get her check as an auto-deposit, but a few weeks in the system is down for their bank and she has to actually find Caine to get paid. She pussies out and is like “I’ll just hope the system is working by Monday, I can eat ramen and tap water for two days”.

It’s been a shit day overall— it’s pouring rain and there’s been like no customers, so she’s ready to get the hell home. She gets to her car, only to find her keys locked inside.

She’s cold, she’s wet, and she’s stuck out there. She’s trying extremely hard not to cry about it. She pulls out her phone, and googles lock-picking videos.

After like 25 minutes she gives up, just crying on the ground next to her car in the rain. She’s having the mentally ill equivalent of a Feel The Rain On Your Skin moment when suddenly the rain stops. She looks up to see a guy with an umbrella. She’s never seen him around before. He takes her into the backstage area of the circus show and gets her warm and dry. She learns that this guy is indeed the infamous Caine she’s heard about and tries not to panic.

*yadda-yadda-yadda slowly falling in love/aspects I haven’t fleshed out yet*

They’re interested in one another and want to stay together but the show leaves for the next town at the end of the week so they need to decide if one of them has to leave their current life or that they just can’t be together.

NSFW alphabet - Lando Norris

700 celebration 🎉

Thank you, you lovely crazy people ♥️

This was requested quite a lot and I started writing it a while ago, but now I was finally able to finish it. Hope you enjoy it 🤓

a = aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Lando has a thing for everything to be clean - so he always makes sure that after a session you and him getting cleaned up like taking a shower or having a bath together.

b = body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

his favorite part of/on his body, are his hands and his hair. driving one of the fastest car of the world, playing golf or even for playing video games - he has pretty skilled fingers and big hands. he is also very proud of his locks and loves it when you are stroking his hair and giving him a head massage.

Lando loves your tits - who would have thought? in overall he just loves sucking on your nipples and kneading your tits to stimulate you.

c = cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

inside you or on your tits - he just really loves the view, when his cum is dripping down in between your tits.

d = dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

he is known for being addicted to milk and also received a breastfeeding pump once from his secret Santa aka Alex Albon.

the thought, that you were able to feed your baby one day with your own "milk”, fascinates him. and to be honest, he would like to taste it himself.

e = experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Lando is young - but super eager to learn and wants to experience so much. he needs a little confidence push here and there from you.

f = favorite position (this goes without saying)

spooning & titjob

Lando loves being the big spoon. it gives him the feeling to be your guardian and this gives him extra confidence. when he adjusts your upper leg and holding it at a certain angle, his thrusts meet your g spot perfectly. also he loves to grab your boobs in this position, pulling you closer to his chest and leaving hickeys on your neck.

since you knew that Lando was so fixed on your boobs, you tried something new and instead of giving him a blowjob, you tried a titjob. he loved it! from that moment on, this became something in your sex routine.

g = goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

we’re talking about Lando?! goofy should be his middle name. actually it’s your nick name for him. you two are always joking around - even when having sex.

h = hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Lando is completely shaved!

i = intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

in the beginning of each of your sessions, Lando seems a little tense, because he wants to do you right and especially make you cum. after a few moments, he relaxes and performs even better so both of you enjoy the sexy time.

j = jack off (masturbation headcanon)

you haven’t seen Lando in 3 weeks - there were 2 race weekend after each other and on the free weekend before, you attended a wedding without him. since you and him were dating just recently, both of you are horny as fuck for each other. finally you were able to see him, but Lando had planned a live stream the same time you would arrive at his apartment in Monaco.

of course you weren’t happy about that, but still horny - so was Lando.

you teased him off camera, by drinking from your can with a straw and imitating to suck his dick. you also flashed him and did a little striptease. Lando really needed to hold it in and tried to put up a good front. he lost every single game and had to end the stream about half an hour earlier, as you were now under the table, freeing his already hard cock from his pants and boxers. after he ended the stream, he took of his shirt and threw it over the camera, just to be sure. that was your sign to start jerking him off.

k = kink (one or more of their kinks)

submissive & praising

he likes it when you take control and take him as you need him. you can also be a little rougher. nothing is more important to him than satisfying your needs. and if you praise him for it, it is the purest satisfaction for him. Lando may have a bit of a fuckboy image, but after all, he's a good boy for you.

l = location (favorite places to do the do)

usually you two have sex in bed or on the sofa, sometimes in the shower - but Lando would like to try public sex.

m = motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

for Lando it doesn’t need much - he still needs to learn how to control himself. mostly in public. whenever you are around and wearing some tight clothes.

n = no (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

anything that has to do with pain. yes he likes it rough, but he would never want to hurt you and is therefore not a fan of spanking or choking.

o = oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Lando's eating out skills need some improvement, but he's so willing to learn so you'll teach him how you like it best. he is a quick learner.

contrary to your blow job skills. especially on days when he is not feeling well, you can always cheer him up with that and it’s also the quickest way to make him cum.

p = pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

most of the time your sessions are fast and rough. your desire for each other is so big, that you can almost never restrain yourselves. however, as time goes by, you discover passionate sex for yourselves and take more time for it.

q = quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

anywhere and anytime..

r = risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Lando loves new things and variety. you can see that in his many hobbies. but, he always needs the necessary impulse from you to actually try something new or different. he doesn't want to be too brash and make you feel uncomfortable.

s = stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

he has the greatest stamina imaginable! it has also happened before, that you couldn't take it anymore after several rounds and had to hold him back. he can be really insatiable, because he is so crazy about you.

t = toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

toys are still new for him, so he is relatively restrained towards them. however, he enjoys it more often when you satisfy yourself with them in front of him. watching you do it on your own, increases his pleasure immensely.

u = unfair (how much they like to tease)

Lando is a tease in person. but in fact he's just playing and when it gets down to business, he's quite amazed at how wet you already are and what effect his cheekiness has on you.

v = volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

he is a little insecure when it comes to being loud during sex. therefore, he is usually a little quieter and prefers to listen to your moans. he is surprised every time you tell him how much you like to hear him moan and that he should always do this while fucking you.

w = wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Lando's latest passion is photography and there is nothing better for him than photographing you.

you're in the middle of a heavy make-out session, as you notice his camera on the nightstand.

"Wait." you murmur into his mouth, breaking the hot kiss between the two of you. you reach for the camera and hand it to him. astonished he looks at it and when he lifts his gaze again, you have already taken off your bra and covered your breasts with your hands. lasciviously you pose for him - Lando understands immediately and turns on the camera.

you give him some more poses and strip for him. he really gets into the act to capture the best angles of you and can't stop grinning. he shoots another picture of you, as you look directly into the camera lens and take his thumb in your mouth to suck on it.

quickly he puts his camera aside and pinned you down on the mattress. he got rid of his boxers and enters you without warning. during sex, you grab the camera once more and thanks to the small rotating monitor, you can shoot some more snapshots while you two are in action. some of them were blurry, but that's what made it a little more seductive and Lando had the best memory of you whenever you couldn't accompany him to a race.

x = x-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Lando is above average.

y = yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

he has the highest sex drive there’s ever been - get ready for some action.

z = zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

because of complete exhaustion, you both always fall asleep very quickly.

Trevor: Friends and Coworkers

Noah's quarantine is coming to an end. He's excited to go live with Simon, but there's something he wants to do first... if he can get through to his cute coworker.

(P.S. Ya boi's got Linktree and Bluesky now)

[First Chapter] || [Previous Chapter] || [Next Chapter]

“So… we’re not under observation right now, are we?” Noah asked. Even had they not been on separate tables, Noah was so small that had it not been for the collar he had created, it would have been impossible for Julio to hear him.

Julio glanced up from the screen he was looking at and glanced over in Noah’s direction. “All recent diagnostics have been favorable. They’re going to let us go home tomorrow,” Julio replied.

“Well, yeah, but I mean. We’re not being watched right now, are we?” Noah asked. There was a nervousness to his tone that would be obvious to most but was lost on Julio.

“If there’s anything, it’s standard lab surveillance. Security cameras and the like to make sure nothing is taken, but all wellness exams are on hold for the time being,” Julio explained.

“Yeah. That’s great and all, but… if we were to… have a little fun, no one would have to know, right?” Noah asked.

“No more than usual, I suppose. What did you have in mind? I’m not as much a gamer as you are, but I can still use my phone well enough and there’s a few games on there,” Julio replied.

“Look… you’re into guys, right?” Noah asked.

“Yes,” Julio replied.

“And I’m into guys,” Noah replied.

“Correct,” Julio replied.

“So… I’m saying we could be into guys together,” Noah said.

“Right, and I said I have access to my phone. There are plenty of videos we could watch,” Julio replied.

Noah paused for a moment to consider this. At his size, a phone screen would be like an IMAX. It probably would be a lot of fun to watch porn like that, however… “I was thinking something a bit more hands on…” Noah replied.

“Explain,” Julio said.

“Please. I know you’re slow on the uptake, but even you can’t be that dense,” Noah pleaded.

“I think I know what you are implying, but I’ve misread cues before. If I’m wrong here then… let’s just say the implications would be awkward for both of us,” Julio explained.

Noah buried his face in his hands and let out a stifled scream. “I just want to play with someone’s dick, OK! I’ve been this size for almost a week and haven’t gotten any action!” he cried.

“Simon will be by tomorrow to pick you up. It sounds like you’ll be getting plenty of opportunities then,” Julio replied.

“Yeah, but he’s huge! And I don’t just mean height! I’ve heard the rumors. I’ve seen his bulge! I’m… honestly a little worried it’d be overwhelming to see it! Like… I want to experiment a bit before I try to take on that!” Noah explained.

“Trevor is much smaller, and he’d be more than happy to let you practice on him,” Julio replied.

“Ok. Now you’re just deflecting! I’ve been flirting with you since before we shrunk! Why can’t you just reciprocate a little!” Noah whined.

“Well, I mean, I didn’t want to assume…” Julio murmured.

“That’s why I am telling you! You’re hot! I’m into you! I’ve seen you checking me out too! You’re awkward as hell but also very sweet when you let your guard down!” Noah shouted.

“Are you angry?” Julio asked.

“Just frustrated, really. I’ve been wanting to get through to you for ages now,” Noah replied.

“Ok, but why me?” Julio asked.

Noah once again buried his face in his hands and muffled a scream and then took a beat to try and calm himself before continuing, “I’ve had a bit of a crush on you since we first met, and being coworkers has given me time to get to know you a bit better. I actually really like being around you!” Noah shouted.

“I like being around you too…” Julio said.

There was an awkward silence. Something in the way Julio’s words trailed off made it seem like he had more to say and given how rare it was for Julio to not say what crossed his mind, this left Noah desperate to hear more.

“Is there… something else?” Noah prodded.

“Yes…” Julio replied. There was another maddening silence. Noah felt like he was going to lose his mind, but before Noah could scream into his hands again, Julio managed to speak up.

“As I’ve said. I’m not really worried about being shorter, but neither was I particularly interested in getting shrunk. A few inches is nothing, really. It wouldn’t change much for me,” Julio said.

“A few inches? You lost like five feet!” Noah scoffed.

“Correct. It’s an unexpected outcome but not a bad one. However, unlike you, I didn’t volunteer to get shrunk. I volunteered to observe you,” Julio explained.

“Yeah. You said as much. You wanted to observe the changes firsthand,” Noah replied.

“Incorrect.” Julio replied.

“W-what?” Noah yelped.

“There was not originally going to be someone on site as an observer. As you know, the effects are proximity based and have no effect on inorganic matter. The original procedures were to have it all monitored remotely, but since you were doing something experimental and potentially dangerous, I volunteered to stay close in case something went wrong,” Julio explained.

“Oh… so… you did it just so you could protect me?” Noah asked.

“I did it so I could be on hand if to help you if something went wrong,” Julio replied.

“That’s the same thing!” Noah protested.

“Is it…?” Julio asked.

“Semantics aside, why didn’t you tell me!?” Noah asked.

“If I told you before, you might have called it off. If I told you after, you might have felt guilty for what happened,” Julio explained.

“Well… maybe! But I also might have sucked you off sloppy style!” Noah replied.

“Explain,” Julio replied.

“You’re right. I might have called it off had I known you only volunteered just for my sake, but you were willing to do something life-changing and, as you put it yourself, potentially dangerous just to look out for me. That’s really sweet,” Noah said.

“Oh…” Julio replied.

“And… I’m glad to know you were looking out for me, and… I’m kind of glad you shrunk with me… Well, rather… I’m glad you’ve been here in quarantine with me. I think I would have gone insane being cooped up like this alone,” Noah explained.

“I wouldn’t have let you stay here alone. Even if I hadn’t shrunk, I would have stayed with you,” Julio replied.

Noah let out another whine, but this one was less frustrated than the previous ones. “I need you to come pick me up,” Noah said suddenly.

“Hmm?” Julio asked.

“Just… just do it… please,” Noah said.

“Very well,” Julio replied.

Julio hopped down from the stool he had been standing atop and made his way towards the opposite table that Noah’s enclosure was on. Once there, Julio had to climb the legs of the stool like a kid on the monkey bars on the playground in order to get to the top of the stool where he could climb onto the table. Once on the table, he found himself staring over the glass fence of Noah’s enclosure. The walls of the glass enclosure came up to Julio’s arm pits. He had to hop up and lean over the edge like a kid trying to pet a tiger at the zoo to reach low enough for Noah to climb up onto his hand. Even then, Julio couldn’t get his hand low enough for Noah to climb onto his palm. The best he could do was extend his finger and have Noah latch onto it like a koala in a tree. Julio’s finger was far too wide for Noah to get his arms and legs around it. Fortunately, Noah was able to clamp his arms and legs around the squishy bit of Julio’s fingertip.

As Noah sat there with the squishy bit of Julio’s finger clenched between his thighs and hands like a speeder bike, he couldn’t help but marvel at how tiny he was. Just the uppermost segment of Julio’s middle finger was as longer than Noah was tall. That meant that, comparatively, Noah was a hair shy of half an inch tall to his towering coworker.

Julio lifted the tiny figure up and out of the enclosure and then placed Noah into the palm of his other hand. He lifted the tiny figure up to his face and said, “So… what now?”

“Let me kiss you,” Noah said.

“Hmm?” Julio asked.

“I… It’s just… cheek… lips… your choice. I just… it’s the only way I can think of to thank you… for everything,” Noah explained.

“Oh. Ok…” Julio replied. He held the tiny figure of his friend in his hand for a moment while he ran the numbers in his head, but eventually, he lifted Noah up towards his lips. Noah took an awkward step forward and leaned in to plant a kiss right on Julio’s upper lip.

Noah was rock hard. It wasn’t just that being held like this excited him. Noah had dreamt of being tiny. He had fantasized about being shrunken down like this, and their positions made it clear just how tiny he was compared to his comparatively massive coworker. Noah was so tiny that he was only slightly taller than Julio’s upper lip. Noah was roughly half an inch tall when compared to Julio’s own reduced size. Noah wasn’t even half as tall as Julio’s thumb. Hell, he was maybe a quarter that! Noah loved how small he felt, and the knowledge that Julio himself was much smaller than the average person just fueled his excitement, but what really had Noah so hot and bothered was Julio himself. Noah had never been more attracted to the guy than he was right now. Learning about all that Julio had done for him got his heart pounding in his chest. Noah’s cheeks were burning bright red. He wanted to tell Julio how he felt, but he wasn’t sure how Julio would react. Julio could be incredibly difficult sometimes… especially in matters of the heart.

Noah took a step back. He took a deep breath to steady his nerves, and then spoke up. “I wasn’t joking earlier… about playing with your cock… It doesn’t have to be anything serious. You could just set me down and let me work, if you prefer…” Noah said.

There was a tense pause as Julio silently mulled it over. Noah wished his friend’s face gave him anything to go off of. Julio was hard to read at the best of times, and now that Noah was so tiny that he could only see part of Julio’s face from an odd angle, it made it even harder to tell what was going on in his head. Eventually, however, Julio nodded and walked towards the center of the table where he would have room to spread out. Once there, he set Noah down on the tabletop and began to pull off his own shirt.

“Shirt” was a bit of a misnomer. Julio wasn’t even a foot tall. Clothes didn’t fit him. Even the toddler sized t-shirt he was wearing was more of a night gown than a t-shirt. Still, it was a simple matter to lift it up and over his head until he too was as nude as his tiny friend.

Noah stared up in awe at Julio’s massive body. Noah was so small that he wasn’t even eye level with Julio’s ankles. He was only just barely tall enough to be able to see over Julio’s toes. Noah’s sights weren’t set so low, however. Noah was staring up and up at Julio’s heavy nuts and fat cock. Julio’s nuts were so huge that even just one of them could eclipse Noah’s entire body. Noah could be completely buried under Julio’s sack! The mere thought caused Noah’s already stiff dick to give a lurch of delight.

Julio slowly lowered himself down until he was squatting low enough that the tip of his thick cock scraped the ground below. Noah could only stare in awe at it. The huge, thick piece was far larger than he was. The whole thing was longer than a train car! Noah was shorter than even just the glans!

Julio sat down so that his legs formed an enclosed play pen for his tiny pal. Noah looked around him. His heart pounded in his chest and his dick throbbed as he realized he was surrounded on all sides by towering friend. He could feel the warmth from Julio’s muscles emanating from all directions, but more than that, he could smell the faint scent of sweat from Julio’s huge cock. The scent of dick and balls filled Noah’s nostrils, and for a moment, his mind flashed back to the moment when he first came to after the experiment and he crawled out from underneath the heavy fabric of his own boxers. Noah could easily see how Rex had gotten so addicted to spending time buried in a dude’s undies. Noah, too, couldn’t help but fantasize about what it would be like. Maybe once Julio had some real clothes, Noah would suggest they try it, but for now, Noah was fixated on the fat cock that now lay splayed out in front of him like a beached whale.

Noah stepped awkwardly forward as he stared down the head of the massive cock. At his size, even just the slit of Julio’s dick was about as long as Noah’s torso. Noah could easily fit an arm down that pre-drooling maw. Hell! He could fit his head in there! From top to bottom, Julio’s slit was about the same size as Noah’s shoulders. It might take some wriggling, but he could probably get his whole body nestled in that massive cock. Noah felt light-headed just thinking about how much larger just Julio’s cock was compared to him, and even as he stared down the behemoth, some part of his mind reminded him that Simon’s cock was even larger. Much, much larger. Simon’s cock was probably bigger than Julio himself! If Julio’s cock was large enough to swallow his head, Simon’s cock could easily swallow him whole!

But as much as Noah wanted to explore the head of Julio’s cock, he had something else in mind that spurred him on. He climbed up and over the tip of Julio’s dick, which, at Noah’s size was very similar in size to the play-yard igloo he used to play on as a kid. The imagery was not lost on him. As he slowly climbed up past the head of Julio’s dick and over the thick layer of Julio’s foreskin, Noah silently wondered what his younger self would think upon learning he had willing shrunk himself down to a quarter centimeter so that he could enjoy experiencing the joys of visiting a cock the size of a playground.

Noah could feel the giant’s eyes on him as he trekked up along the length of Julio’s semi-chubbed schlong. Noah could feel the thickening member twitching beneath his feet as he stepped over bulging veins that lay across his path like tree roots, but Julio still sat back and silently observed.

It wasn’t until Noah finally reached the base of Julio’s cock that he finally broke the silence. As he stood there staring into the dense tangle of Julio’s bush, Noah soaked in the sights and the smells. There was an intense musky smell coming from the giant’s thick pubes.

“I saw you the other day… when we were talking to Simon…” Noah began to explain. He stepped forward and held a hand out to touch the dense tangle which rose before him. Julio’s hair was surprisingly soft. Even though each individual pube was thicker than Noah’s own fingers, they still gave way under his touch. It was like stroking incredibly dense but silky Easter grass.

Noah turned and fell back into the dense tangle. The thick pubes broke his fall and kept him suspended. It was like lying atop a literal cloud.

“I didn’t know how to bring it up…” Noah explained. He paused for a moment to let out a sigh before continuing. “I always thought you were cute, but seeing you naked. You were so hot. It was more than just your cock. I wanted the chance to explore your body.”

“I’m a bit hirsute, as they say. Some people are put off by that,” Julio replied.

“And some people love it!” Noah countered.

“Which some people are you?” Julio asked.

Noah rolled over and grabbed thick handfuls of fur. He buried his face in Julio’s bush and breathed deep. He was so comfortable here, he almost wanted to burrow into Julio’s fur and drift off to sleep, but Noah was far too horny for that.

“I thought you wanted to play with my cock,” Julio said with a chuckle.

“So did I…” Noah replied.

“Hmm… I have an idea,” Julio said.

“Hm?” Noah asked groggily, but he was quickly snapped from his reverie as Julio reached down and plucked the tiny guy up between his fingers. In one quick motion, Julio rolled onto his stomach and dropped the tiny guy onto his fat, hairy gooch.

The hair of Julio’s taint wasn’t nearly as long as the dense bush around the base of his cock, but it was still so thick that Noah found himself wading through a dense tangle that came up to his armpits. The smell of balls and musk filled his nostrils. It was dizzying and intoxicating!

Noah glanced around. Through the dense jungle, he could see in one direction a nut sack the size of a manor, and in the other direction, he could see the large, rolling hills of Julio’s bubbly butt.

Noah glanced back and forth. Both directions looked amazing. He wished he could split himself in two and dive headfirst both into Julio’s ass and his balls, but eventually, Noah’s gaze began to fixate on the massive mounds of Julio’s hairy ass.

Noah pushed his way through the thick stalks of Julio’s grundle. His taint hair was not nearly as dense as the bush around his cock, but it was still dense enough that Noah felt like he was shoving his way through a rainforest. It was certainly as hot and humid here as one, and some of the vinelike pubes were almost as thick as Noah’s wrist! He almost needed a machete to get through it. Still, Noah was not one to be deterred once he decided to do something. It was exactly that mindset that led him to getting shrunk in the first place, and now his single-minded focus had him following his raging boner like a dowsing rod.

Noah stepped into the narrow gap between the two massive mounds of Julio’s ass cheeks. The pathway was so narrow that Noah had to squeeze through sideways. The beads of sweat the dripped from his body were wiped clean by the slightly damp fur that lined the inner passage of Julio’s ass. The damp bristles that brushed against Noah’s body made it feel like he was going through a car wash, but unlike in a car wash, Noah felt dirtier by the second. It was the fun kind of dirty, though. It was the kind of dirty you only got from sex.

The air was hot and humid with musk. The smell of Julio’s hair and sweat and crack filled Noah’s nostrils and flooded his mouth so heavily that he could practically taste it. Noah was as hard as he had ever been. He understood now why Rex was so keen to spend so much time here. As his gaze fell upon his reflection in a basketball sized bead of sweat that hung like dew from one of Julio’s hairs, Noah felt a pang of regret.  He regretted that he didn’t work up the nerve to move even closer to the beaker. Had he been just a few scant inches closer, he too could have been reduced to less than a millimeter. He too could have been smaller than the beads of sweat which rolled down Julio’s hairy crack.

Noah forced himself to focus. He had to remind himself that he only felt large because he was exploring the body of another shrunken man. Compared to full-sized guys, Noah was the size of a bug. In fact, he was smaller than most bugs. He was the size of a gnat at best.

Noah’s desires were split once more. On one hand, he wanted to fantasize about how much tinier he was compared to everyone else, but on the other hand, he wanted to enjoy where he was right here and right now. On some level, he still couldn’t believe Julio had agreed to this. Was this Julio’s way of reciprocating Noah’s feelings? Or was this just platonic fucking around? It was hard to say, but not nearly as hard as Noah’s cock.

Noah moaned and pressed himself against the inner wall of Julio’s ass crack. He buried his face against the exposed flesh of his friend’s body and breathed deep the smell, but he needed more. Without even thinking, Noah stuck out his tongue and licked a path along Julio’s exposed skin. The taste was amazing. Noah had never done anything like this before. He was mostly a virgin until this moment. The closest he had come to fooling around with another guy was stroking his meat to porn while Rex was in the room. He almost wished he had fooled around some more before he decided to get shrunk, but at the same time, he knew now that nothing he could have done in the Before would be anywhere near as much fun as this.

Rex was right. Noah had wanted this. Noah had always wanted this. This was a dream come true and then some! And as he basked in the sights and smells and the sheer enormity of his massive friend, Noah couldn’t stop himself. He began to rock his hips and grind his cock against Julio’s exposed flesh.

Noah was so into it. He was so close to cumming. He began moaning and gasping for air as he soaked up both the experience and the musk. His head felt hazy. His cock felt more sensitive than it ever had before. Even his ass felt surprisingly sensitive.

Noah slipped a finger back and teased his own tight pucker. It was practically begging him to put a finger or two in, and Noah was in no position to argue. His body was now so slicked with the mixture of both his sweat and that of the giant’s that his finger slid in with hardly any resistance. Emboldened by this, Noah slipped in another. His two fingers were in all the way down to the bottom knuckle. Noah had no experience with others, but plenty of experience with himself. He knew exactly where to press. He mashed his fingers down. His whole body tensed and shuddered. His dick lurched excitedly.

“Fuck. I’m so close…” Noah moaned.

“Do you need any help?” Julio asked. The giant’s voice seemed to resonate through the cavern. The sheer intensity of the deep, bassy reverb made Noah’s entire body tremble.

Noah had completely forgotten about his collar. Despite their size difference, Julio could hear everything Noah said! Noah’s latent anxiety began to flare up. Had he not been so thoroughly boned, he would have panicked upon realizing that his friend knew how horny he was, but Noah’s libido was going into overdrive. He didn’t have the necessary brainpower to freak out.

“Yes! Please! Do anything you want to me!” Noah cried out.

There was a pause as Julio seemingly pondered Noah’s request. In that brief moment, Noah worried that he said something wrong. He wasn’t worried about offending Julio so much as he was worried that Julio would misinterpret his request. Noah realized in that moment that he really knew nothing about the giant’s proclivities. Was he enjoying this too? Or was he just allowing it to happen because Noah had asked?

“You seem to enjoy my ass. Would you like to get better acquainted?” Julio said after a moment.

Some part of Noah’s mind shouted at him to consider his words carefully, but this part of his mind was quickly shouted down by his overwhelming horniness.

“Yes! Please!” Noah shouted.

Noah then heard and felt something akin to a low rumble. At first, he thought it was an earthquake, but he soon realized that it was a deep, soft chuckle coming from the titan.

“Let me know how you like this,” Julio said. He reached back and grabbed a handful of his thick, shapely ass in each hand and pressed the two halves together. Noah was suddenly pinned between two thick slabs of meat. It was so tight that he could barely breathe. In any other scenario, his claustrophobia would have kicked in, but he was so horny that being buried in ass just drove him even wilder.

“Having fun?” Julio asked.

“Y-yes!” Noah managed to scream despite nearly suffocating in ass.

“Good. Would you like some more?” Julio asked.

“Y-yes!” Noah screamed again.

Noah felt another rumble as Julio chuckled again. Then the walls which pressed down around him began to move. Still with a handful of ass in each hand, Julio began kneading his cheeks forward and back. The opposite walls of his ass crack moved in opposite directions while still keeping Noah pinned between them.

Noah would have felt like he was in a tumble cycle in a dryer had it not been for how wet and humid it was. The soft, sweaty hairs of Julio’s crack rubbed across Noah’s shrunken body with each jiggle and shake of the titan’s thick butt cheeks. Noah struggled to catch a breath in the sporadic moments where the pressure eased up, but despite the burning in his chest, Noah was hornier than he had ever been.

“Fuck. I’m gonna…” Noah moaned.

As if in response to his cries, Julio squeezed down harder and pinned Noah tighter. A cry of bliss escaped Noah’s mouth and a gush of cum escaped his cock.

Noah moaned and whimpered again and again as he came over and over again. It had been a week since he had shrunk, and it had been about as long since he had last cum. Before the day of the experiment, he had been plagued with almost nightly dreams of getting smaller and smaller. Each morning, he woke up with a cum-coated crotch and a cold sweat. He had wanted this so badly, but then once he had finally shrunk, he was under observation, and the only dude who he could possibly have fun with was so dense! Yet, despite the delay, this was everything Noah could have dreamed of.

Finally, Noah’s nuts squeezed out the last bit of cum they had stored away. With nothing left to give, his cock stopped spurting, and Noah’s body began to go slack as the afterglow overtook him.

“I take that to mean you’re done,” Julio said.

Noah was unable to form words. All he could do was let out a contented squeak, but Julio was able to figure out what he meant.

Julio sat up, and let the tiny figure slide out from between his cheeks and onto the table. He turned around so that his own huge boner was looming large over the winded and blissed out Noah. Noah was so groggy and giddy from the afterglow that he was barely even conscious, let alone coherent, but upon seeing Julio’s huge, pre-drooling cock, Noah began to snap back to reality.

“Since you’re done. It seems it’s my turn… if you don’t mind,” Julio said.

“Do it!” Noah croaked.

“Very well,” Julio replied. He chuckled softly, but his chuckle soon gave way to soft moans and coos as he worked the fat shaft with one hand and cupped his huge nuts in the other.

“I’ll admit, I enjoyed that…” Julio murmured between moans. He continued to stroke his fat cock causing massive, basketball sized beads of pre to crash down around his shrunken friend. Julio was quickly reaching his limit, and as he came close, he added, “… and I think… you’ll enjoy this too…”

Noah didn’t have the time nor the mental capacity to ask what Julio was planning. All he could do was lie there and stare up in awe as the titan angled his massive cockhead down towards the tiny figure of his shrunken friend and coworker.

A bead of pre the size of Noah’s whole head splashed down on his face. The impact was enough to snap Noah out of his afterglow if only long enough to clean his eyes so he could watch what came next. Noah quickly wiped the viscous fluid from his face just in time to watch as Julio’s massive cock shuddered and lurched and then everything went white.

The massive burst of spooge crashed into Noah’s chest so hard that it knocked the wind out of him. In an instant he was completely buried in cum. As he lay there gasping for breath, thick, heavy gobs of cum flowed into his open mouth. At Noah’s size, the cum was so thick that it was like trying to swallow rubber cement, but Noah still did so excitedly. It was more than just the taste that excited him. It was more than just the texture. It was what this meant! He was smaller than his friend’s cumshot! He was completely submerged in Julio’s spunk! The heat from the warm, sticky spunk soothed his tired muscles and invigorated his tired soul.

Noah was so content in that moment, that he wanted to drift off to sleep suspended in his friend’s spunk, but it was probably best that Julio did not allow him to do that. As Noah lay there hovering between consciousness and the afterglow, a pair of thick fingers plucked him up from the spunk.

Noah suddenly found himself pinned between Julio’s thumb and forefinger. Noah was so tiny compared to his friend that Julio’s fingertip all but eclipsed his whole body. Being held like this caused Noah’s completely spent cock to twitch to life once more. Despite having nothing left in his nuts, Noah was as horny as ever.

“Probably best not to sleep there,” Julio commented.

“I guess…” Noah replied uncertainly.

“Shall we get cleaned up?” Julio asked.

“Not yet… I want to enjoy this a little longer,” Noah replied.

“Very well,” Julio replied.

There was an awkward moment as Julio stood there with his tiny, cum-coated friend pinned between his thumb and forefinger. Noah did kind of like being held by this, but the awkwardness of the situation was dampening the hotness of it all. Finally, Noah broke the silence.

“I’m a little tired after that. Want to just take a nap and deal with cleaning up after?” Noah asked.

“I could do that,” Julio replied.

Julio glanced around the lab and took stock of his surroundings. There wasn’t much there, especially not on the table they were currently seated atop. He could put Noah back in his enclosure and then go back to his own bed, but that didn’t seem the best course of action. His eyes then fell upon his own discarded shirt. It was so large on his shrunken body that it would easily serve as a sleeping bag.

Julio walked over towards his shirt, knelt down to flatten it out, and then laid down atop it. At his size, the cotton fabric was so thick and firm that it served as a decent mattress in a pinch. It was comfortable enough for him, anyway, and he already had a great idea for a bed for his friend.

Julio reached down and deposited his shrunken friend at the base of his now mostly deflated cock. Noah landed softly atop the dense cushion of Julio’s bush. The dense tangle felt like floating on a cloud – a cloud that smelled of musk and sex. Julio had worked up a bit of a sweat and so the scent coming from his crotch was even more powerful even without the added smell of drying cum added onto the mix.

Noah was so tired and giddy from the afterglow, that he quickly drifted off to sleep. Julio smiled as he watched his tiny friend contently slumber. Thanks to Noah’s collar, Julio could hear his friend’s soft snores echoing in his ears. Julio was tempted to remove his earpiece for a moment, but he decided that he rather liked the sound. He instead left it in, and eventually, he too drifted off to sleep, lulled by the soft snores of his tiny friend.

s1 ep 6 rewatch notes

[yeah i am still doing these essays, everyone copes differently OKAY]

I wish i had the words to convey my love for the Simon-Rosh-Ayub dynamic when they’re sitting on his bed trying to talk about his video, not the Kim K. video. it’s an instance of one of the things i ADORE about YR, namely, the importance of the love and support of friends - “the gang is back together”. contra a lot of the teenage and adult movies that put romantic love on a pedestal and everything else goes to the dogs.

That shot of Wille set against the sky when the Queen leaves = is it the apocalypse or is it heartbreak and i'm not the only one seeing the religious imagery right?

“we haven’t done anything wrong.” Simon’s moral clarity, his unbreakable backbone - it’s a moment where it’s obvious the Court has no idea who they are dealing with. I’m not sure Wille even knows then.

Frida doesn’t get enough praise for her acting. that side eye of August as they cross in front of him loafing on the picnic table: sublime.

Another parallel I hadn’t seen before: Sara dresses up before dinner; she likes the image she sees of herself in the mirror. She is “someone she is not”, according to Simon (later that night), but she wants that false countenance. In S2, that same move will devastate Wille. But we have another Sara-mirror scene, in S2. Leaning on the Wille-Sara parallel, there’s something being done here about becoming who you are through artifice (dressing up ‘in costume’) or through love (revealing your true self). August (as opposed to Simon, i think …) ends up being a false or traitorous ‘coming into self through love’ for Sara.

Related … when Sara went to see August to confront him about the video, i have retrospectively imagined her as having planned what happened. But if you look at the scene as it happens, both Sara and August seem to just be playing the situation as it arises. Sara starts off by not even intending to tell August, I think that was honest. When she then confronted him about the video, she first asks why did you do this to Wille and then, how do you have the right, you destroyed Simon? none of it is about her. it’s when August asks her ‘what do you want’ - that i think the idea comes to her. And i think that explains her face after she kisses August - her revulsion at herself. it seems like a situation that spiralled out of control very fast.

i can’t really talk about the Sara-Simon fight scene because it’s my Point of No Return in terms of “This is a nice program to watch of an evening” and “These characters have become my entire waking and sleeping existence, is there treatment for this.”

in the scene that starts with them sitting on the floor in Wille’s room, there is that tender moment by the door, and one of the top two kisses and hugs in the whole of season 1 and 2 combined, punctuated with the forehead tap. and i’ve always thought it so lovely until this time i saw the “red flag” - the towel hanging on the hook - and it reminded me of the red ‘flag’ we see in the locker room every other time things go south.

the scene with kristina and wille in the car starts simply with him saying, “WHAT?” which a) comes straight out of fanfic; b) is hyper-realistic adolescent approach to dialogue but also c) actually shows that they are really close. as in, Wille might loathe his mother by the end of this episode, but also he knows exactly what she’s thinking and they can just skip all the usual staging aspects of conversation. it links, i now see, to the book scene, where wille admits that he can’t just throw out everything he’s been taught, b/c he’s internalized it so well

when K is lecturing W about all the public attention he’s going to get now, and how it will be even worse, it’s the same shot of him looking out the car window wishing he could be literally anyone else as in the first few minutes of s1ep1, after the club fight. and we see his reflection in the window, so we get him 'in double' - who he is IRL, and who he is seen to be by the viewer. very clever. very clever.

Top Tanin and The Reality Of Coercion

Disclaimer : Please leave your Top hate away from this post. I have no problem having a discussion about Top, but if you’re just going to blatantly hate & make comments that have absolutely nothing to do with this topic, keep it to yourself.

A few days ago I made a post explaining the scenes in which Top has been SA. In that post, I point out the two, in my opinion, most obvious times; however there is another time that I felt needed it’s own breakdown. Let’s talk about episode three of Only Friends, and the very harsh reality of coercion.

Before we get into the actual scene, I’ll be giving out some context to show how subtle coercion can be, and how it all adds up until Top finally “gives in”. So let’s first talk about coercion harassment (when someone pressures, repeatedly asks, or threatens another person in an attempt to change that other person's mind.) and how that leads to the scene we’re breaking down today.

One of our first Top and Boston interactions is them in the restroom, I won’t detail the entire scene, but we found out Top and Boston have had sex in the past. Boston expresses his interest in having another go at it, and Top tells him, “I already told you, once is enough for you and me.” Now what does this scene tell us? Well besides the fact that we know Top isn’t interested in a repeat, we also find out that this isn’t the first time Top has denied Boston. This is highlighted by his use of the word “already,” and the look he gives when Boston gets snarky with him after the rejection. After the first time in episode 1, we see Boston, on multiple occasions, try to urge Top to have sex with him again; even going as far as getting in a shower with him. I already made a breakdown of these other scenes so we won’t go into too much detail here.

For the record, it is completely fine to ask someone for a repeat performance when it comes to sex, I’m not saying Boston is wrong for that. However, problem arises when a person expresses that they do not wish to engage again, and your response is to try and convince them. With that being said, let’s talk about the day the scene happens.

They’re at a party, Boston waits until he sees that Top is completely alone before he acts. Top stands in the kitchen and Boston comes in to stand in front of him, we see Top try to leave and Boston uses his body to stop him. Myself and others have pointed out how being cornered seems to be some kind of trigger for Top, or just something that makes him extremely uncomfortable (rightfully so), and this scene is no different. Boston then proceeds to do what he does best, lie and talk. (I won’t go into the details of the dialogue in this scene since I’m on mobile, but I definitely encourage others to watch it back to see how gross it all is.) Top sees the picture of Ray and Mew, and is of course shocked by this but when he tries to reach for it, Boston moves it away. He then tells Top that he has something more to show him, a video. I don’t know what Top was thinking during the party or in the moment at Mew’s door, and I won’t pretend I do, however we can all tell that what he’s seen is still on his mind. He’s a bit snappy to Ray, which he usually isn’t, and keeps repeating that he’s Mew’s boyfriend.

Alright I know this breakdown is getting long but stick with me, it all ties together. I see a lot of people that say Top should’ve just discussed this with Mew, or that he should’ve ignored Boston but honestly? I think it seems fitting that Top went to meet up with him. Look, we see that Mew hadn’t been claiming him as a boyfriend (which is understandable from Mew’s perspective), Mew’s best friend (the one Top believes he kissed) has been rude to him for nothing, and Mew’s other best friend is now in his ear about apparent “evidence” of Top being played. Besides all this though, it’s never okay to say that a victim should have “seen it coming” or expressing what they should’ve done differently. Hindsight is 20/20 and everything obviously isn’t black and white, okay? Okay.

Now the actual car scene. Boston shows Top the video on his phone. While he’s watching the video, Boston is again in his ear about how he’s being played by both Ray and Mew.

In this scene, we see Boston do a thing that he does extremely well which is something called prevarication: meaning he skirts around the truth, or is purposefully vague about it. How does he do this? Well he tells Top that the video happened two years ago, but he immediately follows it up with saying something vague about how they could possibly still be doing it. He then of course brings up how Mew is definitely only dating him to mess with Ray. We all know this isn’t true, and Boston does too, but he does this in order to get Top where he wants him. I see a lot of people saying that Top shouldn’t care about something that happened two years ago, but that’s not the point. The point is that Boston, Mew’s best friend, is putting it in his ear that Ray and Mew are still fooling around and playing him.

It all comes to a head when Boston delivers the final blow, saying that of course he can do this too. Driving in the point he’s trying to make about Ray and Mew playing him. Now again, the point isn’t that it happened, the point is that it’s apparently still happening and he’s getting played. Also, for the people in the fandom who believe their own outlandish theories about Top, he’s not mad because he’s getting “outplayed”, or “losing at his own game”, Top genuinely likes Mew and is interested in him, so of course he’s hurt that this could be happening.

It’s also worth noting that during this entire conversation, Boston gets closer and closer to Top until he’s directly in front of his face. Which leads to Top being caged in and cornered once again. This is where I give everyone the definition of sexual coercion, which is when a person pressures, tricks, threatens, or manipulates someone into having sex. The scene itself is extremely uncomfortable to watch because of this, but also because of how reluctant Top looks in the first place.

To wrap this all up, this is another time Top was assaulted, and then made to be the bad guy. People keep bringing up how Top should’ve just explained everything to Mew and it’s a bit disheartening. I talked in another post about how I believe Top, just like most viewers, never sees himself as a victim. This is most likely because of the Perfect Victim Fallacy, and him not seeing himself as a victim explains why he wouldn’t tell Mew about this. Not only that, but it would be him against Mew’s best friend, of course he doesn’t think he can bring this up. As I said earlier though, hindsight is 20/20 and anyone can say what he should’ve done. I also see people talk about how Top “participated” in the end, and I need those people to read the definition highlighted above. Boston repeatedly corners Top, and tries to talk him into sex; this all adds up to what we see happen at the end. It doesn’t matter if he eventually “got into it”, the point is this: Top would’ve never laid a finger on Boston again if not for the days of manipulation he was made victim to.

Just watched the Halloween video from this year and saw screencaps of the Halloween video from a few years back… I just don’t understand how we can go from Frankenstein prosthetics for Logan in that episode to messy eyeliner with visible mess up marks for Janus in the new one. Like it’s not a difference of a new makeup artist, it just feels like a lack of caring for it to be as good as it’s been.

I just loved this series so deeply before, so it’s frustrating to see what seem like such flippant disregard for the quality of what they’re making

thank you for this ask because I've been thinking of going through each makeup look and analyzing them more. I totally agree with you about the lack of care. The whole thing is so insanely rushed when they could've taken like, a few more days of planning if they wanted to get it out for halloween, or hell a few days after and have them spin it as them being sad spirit halloween is gone for the year and what a spirit christmas would be like. Or like, the 12 days of christmas but 12 days of spirit halloween? I just feel like there could've been some better ideas. The makeup looks like they were given 5 minutes to figure out what each side would be and 5 minutes to do the make up itself.

onto the make up analysis that'll be under the cut.

Little disclaimer before though, I'm in no way a makeup artist, what I am is a cosplayer and I've pulled together some pretty cool shit with very limited supplies and knowledge.

editors note: so according to the comments it seems like everyone's a character from the nightmare before christmas? Or at the least, Remus, Virgil, Roman and maybe Logan. I don't know, I've seen the movie like twice. just keep that in mind I didn't know until after writing everything below. But it really doesn't change my criticisms of the makeup

first on the list: JANUS

now this is just, I don't even know what it is. I think it's from the I'm Mr White Christmas, song because every year people do half Mr. White Christmas and half Mr. Sun makeup and it looks very good. But you don't need it to look that good. Like, I'd personally make the contrast between the blue and red way more, because it just isn't there. Maybe to keep the snake appearance do like, orange scales or orange underneath then red? Something to look more like fire. the joker esque smile doesn't work, again the contrast is very bad. The blue sticks out but the red doesn't so I'd get some lipstick, maybe a blue eyeliner if you can't get a blue lipstick, and loose the black lines, maybe make the blue side white and the red side more of a very dark red?

VIRGIL

I've got no idea, it's just so generic. A ghoul? A zombie? Who knows, not me. first of all, make the eye makeup darker, maybe some dark contour to make his cheeks look sunken in. if the stitches have to be purple then I'd say make it darker and use a black eyeliner pencil to add some definition and some detail that's harder to do with the eyeshadow

LOGAN

Frankenstein's monster? Or Frankenstein, the thing on his forehead says monster, the lab coat says man. why the fuck is Logan the only one who's got something over his usual attire. I guess you could argue that he just has one laying around? I'm not going to get into the wonky line, straight lines are hard. but the screw, again could've been done better with an eyeliner pencil because they are very pale.

PATTON

also I'm not trying to take unflattering screenshots, I'm just trying to get a clear one of Thomas facing the camera

a clown! very simple, very easy and the makeup is fucking visible!! Personally, adding the triangles around the eyes would be nice, for Patton I'd definitely lean on the fun side of clows and not the scary side. I just think a little more could be done. But I'm just thankful there's an actual red nose. The bar is low. I have to mention Patton's verse again, it's so bad, so rushed, could there not have been a little more thought into it specifically?

ROMAN

Jack Skellington I believe? I don't fucking know. my issue is the eyemake up once again, Make it much darker and less blocky. maybe some nose contour or try to make it look like an actual human skull? the stitches are eh, but I feel like they could be darker, maybe a liquid eyeliner in this case. This is also the only one where I think they really tried to hide Thomas's mustache I guess for the lip stitches?

REMUS

THe boogey man? Also from the nightmare before christmas. Are Roman and Remus doing a group costume? Remus's is probablt the best, he is also the only other side with something over his costume. The makeup looks pretty good, the black is solid at least around his mouth. Again, the eye makeup should be darker. the things on his cheeks are worms I believe. those are alright, I'd probably try to make them stand out a little more

[minsungchronology]

Hi! First of all, I want to say I really appreciate your videos - they have given us all such a newfound appreciation for minsung 😍

I have seen some theories floating around since the fan meeting about Lee Know and his friend who dressed as Leebit during the whole of the fanmeeting. We all know that Lee Know often jokes that people are his boyfriends (this friend, Han, even Hyunjin) so generally no one takes those comments seriously but some people have started wondering whether they are actually in a relationship and whether this is a soft launch of sorts (it seems the argument is that being in a mascot costume for hours over three days just seems like a lot for just a friend). It also would make sense Han knows him since Han (all things aside) is very close to LK. I’m curious whether you have any general views on this?

I have also always seen LK as the type to like to keep his personal emotions, feelings and life quite private. I have shipped Minsung for a while now but I am curious to hear from you what you think about the fact that they have become much more “obvious”/affectionate lately - do you think that could suggest they’re not actually in a relationship (since both LK and Han seem like the private type to me) or that it’s the company trying to push minsung or do you think something has changed that has made them more open to expressing themselves? I’m loving it personally but it was shy LK (the “do you like me in that way?” comment) that made me start shipping them so I guess I am just not sure what to do with the major escalation in minsung land over the past few months.

Thanks again!

I’ve seen the discourse around the whole friend thing and I have to giggle. I think a lot of fans misunderstood what LK said when talking about his friend. He said that he was the friend that took “boyfriend” photos of him which is a common term that's used to describe how a photo is taken, not that he was the guy who he jokingly called “boyfriend” in the vlog to get a reaction out of Han. Idk if its the same friend though (unless anyone else here knows lmao).

And about them being “open” I think there’s a huge difference between stuff meant to get the audience hyped up (i.e: the teleprompter stuff at the Japan concerts) and them just naturally gravitating towards each other, interacting, or laughing together at something (which is like 90% of the their moments we got during the fanmeet, outside of their duet during the first day, the quick WSB performance, and maybe the sign that Han answered to). Other duos I say were more blatant about things during those three days (For ex. LK and CB playfully fighting over HJ, 2min’s antics on stage, FeIix/LK almost kissing eo on stage, etc.)

I think many fans underestimate how private they actually are together. It’s just that every moment of theirs gets hyped up since they’re a popular duo, even if other duos are much more (open?) about things (i.e: JiIix pretending to kiss eo, CB playfully flirting with HJ all the time). 

The members have said it during the 2022 kids room that they’re generally secretive about their bond and we see that even more in recent times. Remember when they went to France a couple of months back and fans saw each duo spend time together in their spare time? (The Maknaes, HyunIix, LK/Han, Chan/Changbin?) and then a week or so later we literally got a SKZ TaIker of vlogs of EVERY duo except LK/Han. The only thing we got was Han verbally saying that they spent time together. 

And then there’s the 2kids show episode where they were very visibly nervous (during the first half especially), they would downplay their bond like, “I don’t know this guy!” “We don’t pay attention to eo!” “The only time we hang out is when the fans see us!” and LK quickly fumbling over the whole we don’t need to sneak out thing, etc. (before they eventually loosen up a bit and contradict themselves on some things). I think a lot of things from that episode cemented them being private about things. Cause if it was all jokes and sayings to get the fans hyped up I don’t think they would have been nervous at all. They would freely joke about things like FeIix/CB did, for example.

Outside of the stage (where all of the members seem to visibly relax and have fun), they seem very “gatekeepy” about a lot of things they do together, especially in recent times, compared to prior years.

Personal opinion: I also think because other members/duos are very visibly affectionate on camera (some even more than LK/Han) and have been so since forever, that would probably make them feel more comfortable to be so as well.

[majaloveschris]

I would have a different opinion if they seemed happy or comfortable around each other, but to me, they don't. I can't imagine my boyfriend or somebody who is happier than ever with me acting like this, and we all can see that this is not his body language, not just around people he's been in love with but around people he just simply likes. //

But no one in the public has seen enough of his body language around her to judge. The videos that have been shared publicly are:

- The two pap walk clips; the official one where they’re outside the church that Page Six included in their article and the accidental fan video of the awkward handholding walk through the park

- The scare compilation video where each clip is a couple of seconds long and he’s literally doubled over on the floor laughing in one of them

- The chin video where he was very happy to have her lying on him in the couch and covering half her face with his hand to create the illusion of the face on her chin

- The brief interaction at the Ghosted premiere where she’s laughing with him

There’s also the Mario Bros video where you can’t really see him but you can hear him laughing and the Powerpoint Presentation slideshow, but there was no video in that.

If you’re judging through the videos listed above alone and the slideshow photos that isn’t really enough content to gain a genuine picture of his body language or what their relationship is like or how comfortable he feels around her. Is it really fair or sensible to judge their whole 1-3 years of knowing each other/dating/relationship and his feelings about it on content that amounts to less than 5 minutes in total?

You would need to actually know them or have reliable, trustworthy sources to have any real insight to that information. Many actual language experts will say it’s difficult to accurately tell someone’s body language from a still image because it’s literally a split second in time and it’s harder to get a sense of the actual context. Remember how a lot of people were saying he looked so happy and excited in the Four Seasons Portugal Hotel video that he made for the teacher? And then the context was revealed that he was 99.99% only there in the first place because he was visiting her? Yeah.

I respect that you have your opinion and I’m not trying to change your mind. I’m just offering another perspective. Mind you, I definitely feel like his energy has been off for a long time now but I objectively don’t know enough about the man or the situation, nor am I in his circle to be able to form a meaningful opinion to say that it’s because of her or their (I guess you would say “alleged” 😭) relationship.

To me, that NYC pap walk seemed incredible awkward. The way they were standing and walking next to each other (I'm talking about the staircase video and picture) seemed unnatural, like they were forced to be there. To me, the fact that he was holding her hands when he knew they were being photographed and when he didn't know they were being recorded (I'm talking about the video that the girl uploaded to Twitter), he wasn't holding her hands and didn't even pay attention to her, and when she saw that they were being recorded, she tried to grab his, but he didn't want that, shows that it was for the show. I know a lot of people say it was because of the pap walk, because they were in NYC, and because they knew what was coming next. Nobody asked them to make their relationship public by parading in Central Park, because I think we can all agree that that wasn't a natural sighting. They could've posted a few stories indicating they are at the same place; they could've posted a picture where they are together (getting one from the photo dump); or anything that would've indicated that they are in a relationship. But they wanted them to do that on the day her show premiered. For the show.

I don't think dropping on the floor was a natural reaction from him. We saw him getting scared by Scott, and he's never done that. During those videos, he either overacted (dropping, stamping) or didn't react at all (when he just walked away from her in his MA home). I don't think those were genuine reactions.

The chin video was too much for me. Trying too hard, same with the Mario Cart video; her acting was good in that one. It's not like it was any better in the scare videos; her fake phone dropping and her fake reactions weren't any better. Two actors, and they can't sell a relationship.

In the Ghosted premiere video, she was the only one laughing and smiling. Chris wasn't facing the camera, and Megan had a mask on, so nobody can tell for sure if they were smiling or not. To me, it didn't seem like they were.

Just because he was smiling on the teacher's video doesn't mean he was happy. He can fake a smile for a few seconds, especially if it's for something work-related or good cause-related. I'd also like to mention that you can see in those photos and videos, which they most probably took in the earlier stages, that it looked like he was trying a bit harder or more.

I'm also not trying to change your opinion, I just wrote down my takes on these things. Thanks for being respectful! ❤️

I think we've seen enough, or, should I say, even more than we wanted, or that we did of his previous relationships. You can see him acting way differently with those women, whom he was surely together with. I'm not saying we can tell everything for 100% sure about their relationship based on what we've seen, but to me, they seem unnatural and uncomfortable around each other; they don't seem like two people who are extremely in love with each other and happy together.

And one more addition: four pictures to compare two relationships of his:

9-1-1 season 1 ep. 2 “Let Go”

I’m not dead! I know it took me a while to post this second episode but real life has been hard (had my hands full with work). I’ve actually seen quite a few episodes since I last posted but haven’t been able to write a comment until now. Fortunately I take notes when I watch the episodes so I don’t forget my thoughts. Let’s go with Let Go (plz don’t leave).

Poor guy :(

I feel so bad for him, he’s clearly uncomfortable. Also I’m watching 911 so I KNOW it’s not gonna end well for him :(((

What the fuck. Such awful cgi. What?

I think I’m taken aback because the stunts were really great in the first episode and this… is not.

*sigh* Yeah Buck we know. Also I shouldn’t feel so fond and long-suffering for Buck already. This is the second episode for god’s sake.

Shit they have a protocol for that. I mean, of course they do but that’s so awful to think about… pretend someone’s not dead so others won’t panic.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO START THE EPISODE LIKE THIS, THIS CALL IS BREAKING MY FUCKING HEART 💔💔💔

He could die any second and is more worried about the humiliation that will follow him everywhere after people post those videos… ouch 🥲

Shit… he’s not gonna make it, is he?

He let go 😢

Guess I know why that’s the title of the episode now

Sometimes it’s not that easy buddy. Sometimes that’s the hardest part

But it makes sense that Buck would react badly. It’s pretty obvious that doing a dangerous job excites him and overcoming impossibile obstacles makes him feel important. In the first episode they make it clear that he’s competent and gets results even if he’s reckless so that would reinforce that kind of mentality. Someone like that would have trouble understanding that for other people it could be the opposite (kinda like… if I can thrive under pressure and hardships then so can everyone else).

What’s that famous quote? “The same hot water that softens the potato hardens the egg” or something like that. The same external input can yield opposite results depending on what/who it’s been used on

Yeah basically this, not everyone reacts the same way. Although that didn’t really seem to be the guy’s specific case… he didn’t freeze up, he let go. The same concept still applies tho

Well… that sucks. I was wondering if that was the case considering his reaction but I thought that would have been improbable considering their job. I don’t really know how long he’s been a firefighter for tho

I’m really curious how they’re going to tackle this

Chimney’s perspective is not wrong but it’s a bit… cold or distant? Which makes it realistic, people in this line of work can’t fall apart every time things go wrong or they’d never be able to DO the job. But it also feels like the wrong thing to say to Buck when he’s clearly feeling shaken about what happened. Telling someone to not take it personally doesn’t work when the person has already taken it personally. He should be helped to process his current feelings and then they can work on not taking it personally next time.

Hen and Athena! So they are closer friends than I originally thought! Hen even feels comfortable inviting her to eat together at her workplace (can they do that? Invite a cop on duty -or anyone for that matter- to eat at the fire station? Well she is a cop so it’s probably fine… right?)

Also I love that she took the first step to bury the hatchet with Buck! She’s a hardass but so far she’s not unnecessarily mean or harsh.

To be recognized by the public.

Hey that’s the answer Buck gives too! “So people can easily identify us”

Chimney’s answer of course is “for the sex appeal”. I mean……….. he’s not wrong lol

Athena’s answer is not the first that came to mind but is soo true “when we take the uniform off at the end of the day, it symbolizes letting go of all the sad, crazy, inhumane things we’ve seen that day”.

It makes sense to bring it up considering this is a show about first responders and their struggles. That speech in ep.1 about needing alcohol/drugs/sex to cope with the job also comes to mind. I like how they’re talking about this topic, hope they’ll keep exploring it in future episodes.

Also I clearly have too much to say about these episodes so I’ll split this comment too. I hope it’s not gonna be more than two parts this time. Oh well, here’s part 2.
