Faking It (Logan Howlett x Fem!Reader)

18+ blog!! you are responsible for your own media consumption. if any of the above makes you uncomfortable, do not proceed.

“Professor, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean—”

“(Y/N), it’s not me you should be apologizing to. It’s your team. That’s who you both let down.” He eyes flick between you and Logan.

“I’ll go apologize to them now.” You turn to leave.

“You too Logan.” Charles says.

On this latest mission, you needed to sneak into a factory and take down all of the enemies— But you and Logan were arguing so loudly, you alerted all of the rivals, turning a few quick sneak attacks into full blown fights. No one was badly injured but you still felt horrible about it.

“This is all your fault.” You mumbled, just loud enough for Logan to hear.

“My fault? You’re kidding.” He huffs.

“Shut up.” You walk ahead of him, on the way to the common room to see your team.

Everyone was sitting there, talking amongst themselves. Once you and Logan entered, they all stopped their conversations and looked at you.

“Guys. I am so sorry about this mission.”

“I’m sorry, extremely sorry, and I apologize for my behavior.” Logan mocked your expression of regret.

“You are such a child, Logan! I’m trying to apologize!” You raised your voice.

“I am too!”

“Can you two just stop?” Hank stood up, silencing you both. “Your attitudes have been getting in the way of every mission. If you guys can’t get along then maybe you shouldn’t be here.”

“Oh..” You didn’t know how to respond. You couldn’t believe you let your dislike for Logan get in the way of your job, so much that they thought you shouldn’t be an X-Man anymore.

They all left the room, leaving just you and Logan to culminate in your thoughts.

“I think it’s pretty obvious we’re not going to get along any time soon.” He broke the silence.

“We’ll figure it out.”

“Yeah, whatever you say.” He walked out, as you sat in the empty room.

The next day, Xavier called you and Logan into his office yet again. You were concerned, worried he might be kicking you off the team. But instead, he said he had a mission for you two.

“I need you to pose as a couple. You’ll be going to an upscale hotel in Manhattan. It’s a cover for a drug smuggling ring. You two will stay as guests in order to collect information. I need everyone that is there, guests and workers alike, to think you two are madly in love. We don’t know who could be involved, so we can’t have them think anything suspicious.”

“Professor, is that the best idea? We just blew the last mission because we couldn’t stop arguing.”

“If you two fail this mission, I will have no choice but to replace both of you. You are amazing at what you do, but your arguing affects everyone. Not just yourselves.”

“Okay. We won’t let you down.” Logan speaks up.

***

The trip to the hotel was long and frustrating. You two couldn’t agree on anything the entire time. You criticized his driving, he criticized what you put on the radio, and how loud it was. You called him an old man, which just resulted in the radio being turned off and continuing the last hour drive there in silence.

When you arrived, it was late afternoon. Logan, pretending to be your fiance, grabbed all the bags by himself and walked inside. The hotel was huge. It was upscale, classy. So fancy you were afraid to touch anything, in fear it might break.

“Hi! Checking in for Anderson.” He greeted the front desk clerk, giving his forged name. He dropped the bags on the floor and you wrapped yourself around his now-free arm, squeezing it.

“Hello, Mr. Anderson.” She smiled back, “Let’s see. You had the penthouse, correct?”

“That’s right.”

“We’re celebrating our engagement!” You beamed, holding out your hand, showing off your fake engagement ring.

“That’s lovely. Congratulations! We’ll have a bottle of champagne in your room for celebration.”

“Thank you so much!” You squeaked.

He finished the check-in process, then you headed to the top floor.

The penthouse was absolutely gorgeous. It was huge, the size of a decent apartment. Just like the lobby, you were afraid to break something.

“Wow.. This is amazing. Only time I’ll ever get to stay in a penthouse and it’s with you.” You said, as he shut the door.

“I was just thinking the same thing. Now, c’mon we gotta go to the pool. Get changed.” He handed you your bag.

You opened it, pulling out your bikini. It was the only one you had, admittedly from a few years ago. You didn’t have time anymore to relax by a pool or go swimming in the ocean, so this swimsuit had to do. It was a simple black string bikini.

You went inside the bathroom to change. Once you had your swimsuit on, you felt a little self conscious at the amount of skin showing, but figured it’d help with the whole ‘can’t keep your hands off your new fiance’ vibe you and Logan needed to exude for this mission.

You walked out of the bathroom, faking confidence you didn’t have. Logan had taken the opportunity to just change in the living space since he was alone. He was wearing black swim trunks. It was funny, it looked like you two had matched on purpose.

“Wow.” He said quietly, clearing his throat.

“What? You like what you see?” You joked at his clear uncomfortableness with seeing you in such little clothing.

“Whatever, let’s just go.” He spat, grabbing two towels, the key, and exiting the room.

The second you were out the door, you both had big smiles on your face. His arm was around you, holding your side as you headed to the pool.

It wasn’t too busy, just a few kids with their parents, and a bartender at the outdoor bar. You told him you wanted a drink, so that’s where you headed first.

“Hey, can I get two Mojitos?” Logan asked, handing him the room key “And can you just charge it to our room?”

“Of course,” He started working on the drinks immediately, while you two sat and people-watched. He finished the drinks, and gave you them and the room key back.

You said thank you as you walked off, hoping Logan would just follow. There was a small hot tub that was empty, so that’s where you went. You stepped in carefully, afraid of slipping, and sat down in the warm water.

“Really?” Logan whispered, a fake smile still adorned on his face.

“This is what couples do, Logan. And we’re a couple for this weekend. So sit down and act like you love me, sweetie.” Your grin was starting to hurt your cheeks.

He sat down across from you, and you mentally rolled your eyes. You got up, and repositioned yourself, sitting in his lap, “What part of ‘act like you love me’ are you not getting?” 

He was frozen for a moment, caught off guard but quickly acted like he was happy to have you there, to not draw suspicion. You both took sips of your drink, as you continued to nonchalantly looked around.

You two stayed at the pool for awhile, taking mental notes of the guests and employees you saw. Honestly, this hotel didn’t seem too strange. But Xavier said it was a front so you guessed that’s why it seemed so normal, for their cover.

Once your drinks were empty, and the sun had started to go down, you both decided to head back up to the room. He got out drying himself off before wrapping you up in your towel. He picked you up and carried you bridal-style to the penthouse.

“Logan!”

“What? Just acting like I love you.” He smirked.

Once inside the room, he set you down. “I’m gonna go shower.” You stated, not really knowing what to do. 

He just nodded, walking off to the kitchenette. You grabbed your bag and headed to the bathroom.

***

You mentally cursed yourself as you scrambled through your bag, searching for a pair of pajama shorts you thought you packed, but they were nowhere to be found. 

“This cannot be real.” You whispered. The only other clothes you brought were jean shorts, and you sure as hell weren’t going to sleep in those.

You pulled out your oversized sleepshirt, putting it on. The hem landed right above the middle of your thigh. It was a little shorter than the length of a nightgown, so you just hoped he wouldn’t notice. You slipped on a pair of panties, snatched up your things, and exited the bathroom.

You immediately bumped into Logan, who was standing right outside the door.

“What the fuck?” You raised your voice, annoyed. “Why are you right outside the door?”

“I was about to knock. You’ve been in there for over an hour.”

“It’s all yours!” You sassed.

You walked over to the small kitchen, and see he had already opened up the champagne. You had a glass as you sat on a barstool, writing down some notes about the people you’d observed earlier. Pouring yourself another glass, you headed over to the bed.

Just as you made yourself comfortable, Logan came out of the washroom, in just a towel. You stared at his wet torso for a moment, hypnotized.

“My eyes are up here.” He laughed.

You looked up, embarrassed.

“Forgot my clothes. Hey, wait, why are you in the bed?”

“…Because I’m the girl?”

“You're also the short one. I can’t fit on that couch.”

“Oh, c’mon. It’s a big bed. We can both fit just fine. Unless you’re nervous. Never slept with a girl before, Lo?”

He sighed, clearly not wanting to argue, before taking his clothes and escaping back to the bathroom. You silently celebrated your victory.

He came out a few moments later, turning off the lights, sliding under the blankets and getting comfortable. You both ended up facing the same direction. If he was any closer, he’d be the big spoon, but there was a few inches separating you.

You adjusted your body, and accidentally felt your ass rub against him. You went rigid from humiliation, before scooting away slightly, ignoring it since he didn’t say anything.

You tried to fall asleep, but it was difficult, for many reasons. One, you’re not used to having someone else in your bed. Two, he was breathing heavily. Three, you couldn’t stop thinking about how sexy he was.

Of course, you knew Logan was attractive, you’d thought that since the moment you first saw him. But today, probably because of the faux-gagement, the touching, the flirting, you saw him differently. He was still getting on your nerves, but the flames between you two… His body… It was unlike before.

You exhaled a breath you didn’t know you were holding. You twiddled your feet, moving around your body nervously, before unintentionally grazing your ass against his crotch again.

“Y’know, if you keep rubbing your ass against my dick, I’m gonna do something about it.” His words sounded gruff in your ear, but they gave you butterflies.

“Maybe that’s what I want.”

drdt ch2 ep 13 spoilers, just some general thoughts

This was a really good episode I think, the logical train of thought in this episode compared to the last episode feels a bit more consistent. I don't mean the last episode was bad, just that David is just wowza^tm. Speaking of David, dang dude, do you want a cookie to go with that face you made? drdt really is starting to double as a comedy for me but only bc it appeals to my weird sense of humor now.

I'm now really suspicious of Ace and Hu, congrats those culprit believers. I didn't actually realize how similar the attempted murder was to this one, but I guess now that I know that the mechanism used was shockingly simple(I would not have expected the support beams to hold under that much force...) it does make sense in hindsight. I think there's some merit to the idea that Nico, whether intentionally or unintentionally, covered up for maybe Hu's potential murder attempt(the wire), and that Nico was actually trying to save Ace. But something that gets to me is when Hu would have found the time to grab the fish(assuming Eden is being honest about being with her from 7-10). I have a hard time believing that Nico would willingly give up the fish to be killed, or would cover for her alibi in the morning, or would simply just... let her get away with even their life(killer wins the trial and all). This may in fact be where both of their secret quotes comes into play, if Hu really did attempt that, Veronika is the only one I see as willing to give Hu the fish, and I can't remember how long she and Teruko were together, so maybe it's possible. But if we're going off the assumption that the note is real, that still does not negate the fact that Hu was with Nico that time in the morning. I'm also really curious how Nico would have agreed to steal the turpentine for this purpose if they didn't try to kill Ace on their own. What, did Hu say she needed the turpentine to drink it or something?

At first I just assumed that since Nico is apparently a thief(/lh) they just stole the wire from Hu, but perhaps not. Perhaps they agreed to this and the condition that Hu would immediately confess if she killed Ace? But since that didn't happen, Nico is holding up their end of the bargain.

The main problem I see with Hu being the killer besides the fish is just that I cannot believe Nico would willingly cover for Hu with their life on the line. She'd probably know a lot about hangings and all, but when would she have found the time to commit murder? If it occurred between 7:30 and 8:00, that is a very tight timespan. I guess she also knows about the clothes too, but it's still one of those pieces of evidence that's like, I think anyone who went in the dressing room could have found it.

I do think that anyone could have gotten the tape(as Ace could have simply kicked it away while standing up) but ppl r right that it's a suspicious detail to just disappear. Levi is still a little suspicious to me(im sorry) because his whole secret did not, frankly, contribute that much to the murder besides getting the other motives out, and he could have investigated the gym after the murder attempt, but there's still no smoking gun yet, so I won't jump him.

Ace is clearly suspicious bc he could have followed Arei after her and David's convo, as well as his missing alibi, the fact that he def. has motivation to kill, and that he could have been eavesdropping on their convo specifically to find a moment to get the fish. He would also probably know best about the murder attempt besides, again, Nico and Hu. He also would probably know where the turpentine is later too.

Also dang, was Eden the one that stabbed Xander? Part of me feels very suspicious because this revelation feels far too early in the story, but of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that she's the mastermind or traitor. The figure in the prologue says they were wrong to trust them(i think...) so unless they're talking about nico it refers to multiple people. Also, the figure isn't wearing gloves in the prologue? though that can easily be explained through the bleeding, you wouldn't want to touch an open wound with dirty gloves. But anyway, due to their height difference, I'm guessing Eden somehow got Xander down on the floor based on the angle of the shot. What, did she tackle him or something? Guess she coulda gone pro if she hadn't joined hope's peak.(bad reference). She looks upset in the shot... that's all I can say about that scene really. I don't think it's enough to say for sure whether she's involved in the establishment of the killing game, it's just as likely she could have been forced to do that somehow.

(This is only relevant if you are one of my friends)

If Ace actually ends up being the killer, I literally haven't drawn anything that wasn't related to a diagram in years(basically I draw things but not like. what you'd consider high art/anime art... ) but I suppose. I am honor bound. I'm mostly a fanfiction writer but I'd better start practicing drawing Ace's face on my phone for that meme lmfao...

Rogue thoughts and reactions--->

not taking many notes this time cause i wanted to Savour this one tbh and what a blast so far

rogue and doctor so far is like. rtd striking gold potentially here (i kno he didnt write this one i mean more like. in the long run. i could see fans going crazy over this Type of ship and spending sweet $$$$ on it lol).

ruby looking at this "scene" like it's a tv show………. live…….. honey u best believe in ghost stories hyper post-modern genre tv show seasons cause u are in one

cushy… wordsmiths-ing count…

"ruby: you know how i forget about a man?" with a woman? (shot)

the parallel of these guys "dishonoring" these ppl while the doc and ruby do kind of the same all the time sdkflj

mmm second time i see a triangle logo (it was there last ep on the door to the MEP area that lindsey and rickey ran into. camera held on suspiciously long on it…) (triangles…. three…. susan TRIAD???)

doctor this says you're single and available. oh another word. "very" available.

COME ON ACE WE HAVE WORK TO DO

"wow" boner dialogue

mention of gallifrey.... "i might take you one day" oh man. oh man………..

"random barren dimension" yes this is not an equivalent to a silent confinement analogue at all don't think about it too hard guys

"i lost everyone"

they're leaning on……………. oh yaz just broke a coffee mug somewhere

maybe the real enemy was fandom all along

THOSE TV SIGNALS BEAM OUT ACROSS THE STARS. TV SIGNALS. TV SIGNALS. TV ISNGALS TV

SIGNASLKDJASLKDJASKLJ1!!SKLFDJDSLKJFSDLK JF SHUT UPTJSDLFKSDJ (i die)

ok im enjoying The Concept a lot, as expected…….. but gotta say rogue does feel a bit two dimensional so far :/ (maybe even a bit cliche?) i feel jack in his first ep had more depth at first for example (bounty hunter but also lost his memory. doing amoral things but being swayed by the doctor at the end. etc). but there's time THERE'S TIME. DONT LE TME DOWN EPISODE PLEA SE. there's always a twist-

you people and your bridgetons. in my time this would all be a big ass downtown abbey reference

sad thing is this is def one episode i wont be able to watch with my homophobic parents at all oof lmao

this dialogue.... kinda thoschei acadamy years coded ngl

"tell me what your heart wants or i shall turn my back on your forever" defining 15 character dialogue……….

(commitment phobe doctor moment. my girl hastn changed at ALL) (btw intrigued by rogue's "i lost them" bc it could mean a lot right. it's the most delibarely ambiguous of pronouns dklfjsd like it could be a nonbinary character but could also be a couple characters? or maybe im reading it wrong sdlkjf)

play our games on a magnificent scale…………… games motif……….

"i thought i was interesting- but you??" exactly!!! doctor who>>>>>>>> bridgerton/all other tv shows. case made.

god i feel so stupid. i dint catch that twist at all TOT

wedding season finale. chuldur's know where it's at.

oh finally there's the scene from the trailers!!!!!!!!!

"how long do they live for?" oh he's gonna says A Thing "thats a long time to suffer" I WASN'T WRONG /GOES FERAL ( i knew the family of blood coding was leading somewhere…)

the doctor beatiing these cosplayers with his "i object" tv tropyness……….. the meta of it……… theory gang we're gonna make it yet i swear

ok yes this is sad poor ruby but like. but literally last month 14 killed/sacrificed donna w/o sm hesitation so sdklfjdsklfjsdklfj (yes im still like. HEY THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT THING THAT HAPPENED. WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT IT.)

oh is rogue a chuldur as well? he feels too invested in the trolley problem of it all sdlkfj

im gonna say it.... i thought that resolution was kinda........ as the kids say..... weak sauce sfkdj

like oh nooo he got teleported oh noooo. like he's gonna be fine slkdfjsd didn't really hit that hard :/ should have had a proper death sacrifice thing.

"im sorry....." "....AAAANYWAY , it is what it is!!!! " my man is so broken holy shit. holy shit.

it's ok to be sad. !!!!! TOT

CONCLUSIONS!!

sdlkjf ya'll i really wanted this to harder but idk i didnt feel the depth or sensibility this called for was there tbh. but it was a blast!!! but … it missed a bit of that x factor thing. like some kind of universality to the romance w/ the rogue. i feel he was too sketched-in.... i was also a bit disappointed that ruby's friend was not her friend bc it meant her whole thing this ep of connecting to that woman was for nothing (and up until that point it was feeling very Important specially after the marti thing) (and speaking of, the chuldur's were kinda very sketched-in / surface-level as villains as well) … yeah. idk. kinda disappointing ngl (diodati > this i think). pretty fucking gay tho so that was nice.

[introvertedlass]

Every time I come on here I see blogs fighting about a wedding and engagement lol.

You are one of the most level-headed blogs on here so I thought maybe you'd appreciate this. If you don't, totally okay as well.

I've been pretty convinced of whose behind the "not so" recent engagement/dating rumors but I'm also suspicious of one of the earliest DM Anons that started talking about them dating back in like Jan-Feb 2022. I hope someone somewhere has the SS of the DM who said, "Can confirm CE/AB have been dating for OVER A YEAR." I don't remember the exact phrasing, but they used the exact over a year term, back in Jan 2022. If my memory serves correct, this same anon alluded to AB's circle knowing about it bc it being known in PT.

Like 10 months later, the People mag announcement drops and literally uses the phrase "over a year." Except, This was like 10 months later, so over a year from Jan 2022, according to the DM anon, would mean they met back in like early 2021 or earlier (2020??) which would be virtually impossible due to Covid restrictions and the fact that there's concrete Justin/AB IG proof that she was entertaining Lucas Bravo during late 2020-2021. However, this DOES potentially support the theory that the earliest DM anon was pushing a narrative for AB/CE to go public maybe spring 2022 (like some ppl theorized, due to AB's Paris movie/WN supposed to be dropping earlier). That people announcement also steered 1000% in AB's favor. Yes, it's CE's teams go to mag, but the majority of the article was singing AB's (limited praises), saying she was some type of humanitarian and can speak so many languages, and all of his fam/friends adore her. All they wrote about CE was that he was the SMA (lol). It felt very much like we're doing this for you, AB - so you get the spotlight. And yes, her show dropped that same day.

I'm sorry...but this never really sat right with me. Her debut 1000% took away from CE's SMA announcement, and the fans went berserk and the GP was also pretty blindsided. Nobody was really happy about it but just confused and the fans were melting down and angry. The only person who really benefited from all this was AB, who - at the time, seemed pretty happy about all the new attention and followers she was getting.

Something somewhere went wrong to cause her to post her shower nightmare. But since then, the "engagement" rumors started to make traction - first, from the dumb Pantene twitter, and later, making its way to the lame radar online gossip rag. The radar online article ending with, "we have reached out to CE's reps and awaiting a comment or response." Interesting that nobody needed to ask AB's rep, just CE's. Either she's that irrelevant even to third rate tabloids, or...you know the rest. Every single time, the engagement rumors push "AB is so amazing, CE is so in love, all of his fam/friend adore her, she's so modest and private, but he wants to go big for her".

PT/Brazil tabloids keep pushing the narrative, and more and more ppl are supposedly confirming, including Justin's Dad? (LOL)

All people have to do is look at who is continuously benefiting from these rumors. Even if every single one of AB's family members and ppl she went to grammar school with "confirm" the wedding to tabloids, I'm still not buying it. Mostly because AB may literally be the dumbest human on the planet if she STILL thinks that getting every single person on her turf confirming/trolling on behalf of her, doesn't make her just as guilty. Girl...you saying nothing and pretending you don't care and don't troll, but your cousin's sister's fiancé's best friend talks to tabloids confirming your marriage...who do you think all of this will trace back to? (Why would CE's team need to ask your grandma's hairdresser to spill deets to a tabloid? They could literally just go to TMZ themselves LOL bc of his status in HW)

It's completely valid for team real to believe they are getting married. By all "appearances," it makes more sense they would be than not, simply bc they made the relationship public and their names are attached to each other, and neither has denied the rumors. So team real does have ammo, and the Queen blog believing their source doesn't make them liars, it just makes their source convincing enough for them to believe them.

But what I need people to remember is that there's one person who's benefiting from these engagement rumors and it's not CE. His family/friends have virtually gone into hiding to avoid having to be harassed every time more rumors pop up. His fanbase is the one threatening to drop him if he gets married to her. AB's fanbase doesn't seem to care, and if she married him, it wouldn't be bad for her career or image, it would only serve her good. It's pretty darn easy to figure out who's most likely pushing the rumors and continuously in the most roundabout and manipulative ways. Whose relevancy will completely fall back into obscurity if the rumors don't end up being true? Whose name has benefited from these rumors since late 2021, and now has ppl outside of PT talking about them, simply bc they "got into a relationship?"

Thank you for sharing this detailed ask. You bring up a lot of valid points that explain what many of us having been thinking since the start of this show. And, tbh there have been times where I can see why people could see this as real. Not judging them, people believe what they believe- me included. However there have been so many anomalies for me that it is impossible to believe that this is anything but a manufactured show. I appreciate you writing this in such a concise manner as it has reaffirmed my thinking. 🙂

...your school was serious about pe? I thought these don't exist in this country. Like majority of people I know had "showed up - 3, brought uniform - 4, run for 15min - 5" experience

oh it was very deeply serious believe me. maybe we got unlucky with the teachers but they were all bitchy as hell and of course took their subject as the Most Important and always demanded 100% effort to the point of literal harassment & ableism

was always the universally hated kid in pe, both cuz disability n intersexness on top of gender nonconformity. people always talk abt pe being hell for a lot of us but oh my gawds for me it was NOT an exaggeration whatsoever, rest under the cut cuz you prompted me to talk & i shall

- was the doctors note kid. 100% of the time. we had multiple notes about our multiple conditions if needed. after a couple years when we stopped being a tiny kiddo and entered teens, the teachers just got tired of us always being impaired. they would act like it was just an excuse n yadda yadda... we still attended and done the best we could but it was maybe 20% of what the rest of the class did and then we would sit down but they wouldn't let us go into the changing rooms (for no fucking reason!) n sit while they played wtv ball game. the balls wld always fly in our direction 🫥

- started puberty very early. had short-ish hair. just a lot of gender ambiguous features fueled by our hormones n stuff, where different people will have different genderings and we suffered badly from this. we've really tried to like use either changing room and made both uncomfortable to the point we were just not allowed bc we made everyone suspicious and several ppl made a scene abt it so we were just changing in the toilets for the rest of our school years honestly probably from the sheer trauma n the odd comfort being alone provided, as opposed to 20 sweaty teens staring you down (this happened outside of pe all the time as well)

- this wasn't even the worst of it though... the worst were those yearly tests where you had to like pass these specific scores for a certain grade right n they'd always like really fearmonger abt it n make a huge deal of it. yk those uh 1km runs? that was 5 laps of our field, and i would /always/, without fail, pass out Cold as in drop to the ground, before the second lap and couldn't continue. the rest of the tests i wouldn't even passably perform (and they'd make us sore for DAYS) so they would have to pity me and give me the lowest.

and of course they'd again fearmonger w those in our last year too saying if we don't pass those we won't be let to take our exams n shit

needless to say i hate pe w a burning fiery passion

Holy Fuck I can’t believe this is actually a thing that needs to be said but. If you’ve arrived in 2023 with the (correct) take that a-spec ppl are inherently queer and infighting is bad but defend the ace discourse phase of tumblr with “well ace people did/said all of these fucked up things!” You Need To Shhhh.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend like there weren’t some really shitty things said by ace* people during that time but also that is not, and I cannot stress this enough, the fault or responsibility of literally every a-spec person that’s ever existed. We all agree (right. RIGHT.) that things like lesbophobia perpetuated on the basis of “lesbians are transphobic�� or the same for bi/panphobia are bad. Even if there ARE transphobic individuals in those groups that doesn’t justify being bigoted towards them I would think that’s obvious? But some of y’all seem to think differently with ace people which at best is showing your bias against us and at worst is. Suspicious. Not to mention that people with a-spec identities can belong to many of the aforementioned groups as well.

Holding individuals accountable for bigoted things they post is good! And I think the opinion that the a-spec community needs to watch for forms of queerphobia in our spaces is a reasonable one. But to say that several years of mocking, scorn, destruction of our spaces and terminology and repeated attacks on our history and validity as a queer identity is in any way justified because of that is a Bad Take. If you think this, please ask yourself why you’re clinging so hard to blaming an entire group of people with no other things inherently in common but an identity label for the actions of individuals. The VAST MAJORITY of ace people do not think the way that was often stereotyped to us because of a vocal minority on tumblr. A lot of us belong to or share experiences with communities that said vocal minority were being bigoted against. If you actually agree with the idea that we’re part of the queer community then stop treating us differently than any other group, holy shit.

TL;DR stop victim-blaming the entire a-spec community because of the actions of a few during the ace discourse period. It doesn’t make sense and it really doesn’t make you look good. Thanks.

*Asterisk here because there’s some debate over whether a lot of the most infamous blogs and examples of this behavior were actually real or were just trolls. Aphobes had (and may still have?) a habit of creating accounts and impersonating a-spec people to make us seem like terrible horrible bigoted cishet meanies that are cringe and/or trying to destroy the REAL queer community with our bare hands. Also a lot of these comments that WERE real were likely made by kids which, while it obviously doesn’t make it okay, does add a layer of complexity to the issue. But, in my opinion, even if every single comment was made by an a-spec adult person that still doesn’t justify any of the harassment our community faced. Stop victim blaming.

Why does some of the twst fandom hate trey so much:(? He's like the ideal male wife, ppl these days have zero taste at all😒 I would love to be fattened up by trey's baked goods

From what I understand, it's because many fans think of Trey as boring, average, and not standing out in personality or appearance. Some outright hate him though due to coming across as sketchy or suspicious, noting his whole dental hygiene thing as being a sign that he's secretly a weirdo (which is rich considering the rest of the cast *Side Eyes Rook*).

And like, it should be stated that literally every character in TWST is an asshole in their own way (aside for like maybe Jack, Kalim, & Silver) and have a heap of flaws that honestly, don't make them the best bachelors. Riddle's anger issues, Floyd's dangerous mood swings, Malleus's struggle with understanding humans and his at-times condescending tone, and even Trey when he unintentionally enabled Riddle's behavior due to their past together.

But the reason the others get more simps then Trey, I believe, is because they have certain traits that just naturally attract fans to them on a romantic/sexual level.

Leona: Alpha lion (kitty ears + fangs), fears respects women, sympathetic backstory, muscular with long hair, big dom energy

Malleus: Dragon fae prince, Tall, dark aesthetic but a huge dork, fangs + horns, Gothic elegance, teasing nature, sympathetic

Tweels: Eel mermen with abs, twins, dom energy, sharp teeth with which to maul you with, has their dorky moments, tall

Essentially, fans tend to be drawn to male characters that are physically attractive in a uniquely aesthetic way, are dominant in nature, but still have their sweet/dorky moments, are sympathetic (usually), and, unfortunately, Trey doesn't really have those things.

He's a baker with big brother energy, has green hair and yellow eyes (which not many fans tend to go for), has a good homelife and no real struggles, is a soft/mean dom at best, and activity tries to stay out of the spotlight in canon. Doesn't help that he's surrounded by multiple characters that do have those previously listed qualities.

tl;dr Fans want a stereotypically handsome and dominant fictional piece of manmeat with subtle yandere vibes to rail them, not whatever Trey is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

over the past few days I've been watching Empire of Influence, a mini doco series about the Murdoch family that was suspiciously removed from all official streaming platforms (including hbo) within weeks of its release. It covers the rise of the Murdoch family media empire and how much world politics it's influenced from ww1 to now and I highly recommend it to anyone who believes Succession is the best of the eat the rich media in vogue atm. Empire of Influence is truly eye-opening and I'm saying that as an Australian who grew up hearing about the Murdochs constantly. Succession really is pastiching this family as sad clowns and complex meow meows, but barely EVER taking a swing at how the family that inspired this show has single handedly eroded democracy and civil rights in the English speaking world for nearly a century. It's funny because I'd say the only episode that comes close to actually showing the kind of fucking evil the family systemically creates was 'what it takes' in season 3, but ironically so many critics and people in my life who love the show hated that episode because it didn't "feel like succession" to them when in actual fact - going to a fucked up conservative conferences to pick out a presidential candidate who will win because they want him to is what the Murdoch family have done in real life in several countries and I loved that ep. But it was so late in the run that people just memed it with everything else and said it was boring cos succession has turned the lore around the Murdochs into fodder for storytelling when they're still doing damage to society. Again, I love the show, but in many ways, it's no better than the menu or glass onion or ready or not, or any of those other flimsy eat the rich stories. it's resigned to the reality of these people, of capitalism, and has this attitude like "we can't beat them so we might as well make them into an interesting show to entertain ppl and give them a place to project their trauma onto while their real life counterparts continue to burn the world down". I'm not saying don't watch it, I'm literally counting down the days until season 4. All I can think of when I think about all this eat the rich media is that, for our pop culture atm, it really does seem like it's easier to imagine the world ending than it is to imagine an end to capitalism. It's easier for pop culture to reimagine these systems and people as entertainment for the very people they're oppressing because when they do that they still make themselves seem necessary.

[theangryjikooker]

Hey, I have thoughts after watching the first 2 episodes (10/10 entertainment wise btw) and thought this blog would be the best place to share lol.

I’m one of those ppl who used to subconsciously believe jikook were more than platonic but maybe less than romantic, but tried to keep an objective view uk? but then mainly 2 things convinced me of the nature of their relationship so far in the show:

1- we’ve seen that Jimin is a person who cringes easily- him being able to compare them to siblings with no reaction or making a face while they were shopping for the sponge feels very telling of their relationship not being anything of a more intimate nature imo

2- There’s some room for debate on this one, bc I cant tell if the slight awkwardness in the first half of episode 1 is bc they haven’t seen eo in a while or more bc jungkook was clearly a bit tired and sick and jimin had that stomach bug (i felt bad for him but also- is it rlly a group vacation without someone getting a sudden suspicious illness 😂). But if it IS the former, I just don’t think distance related awkwardness would exist/ be that obvious with a couple in a long term relationship if they were one?

This mostly leads me to believe that theyre more close friends with a slightly odd lack of boundaries than a couple. u said something before about only rethinking ur stance on jikook if in the far off future all the members r in a relationship/married and theyre the only ones still single, and after today i think i heavily agree with that, though my opinion is susceptible to change.

Agreed on points 1 & 2.

I think in Jkk's case, the slight awkwardness could be due to the fact that they haven't seen each other in a while and are also reconnecting with the knowledge that they're being "watched." Though this is speculation on my part because maybe they still would be awkward with no one around–I wouldn't know.

"[...] close friends with a slightly odd lack of boundaries than a couple." – I'm on board with this status.

"u said something before about only rethinking ur stance on jikook if in the far off future all the members r in a relationship/married and theyre the only ones still single" – The big boss at the end of a game. I still hold this notion close to my chest, and it would take a lot for me to change my mind about them sooner than the distant future in which this could feasibly (like 0.001%) happen. It's more of a fun theory rather than something I take seriously.

[xyberangelzparadise]

I just read @withthekeyisking-writer 's fic Into Being on ao3 and if you haven't read it go and read it (although pay mind to the tags). And I was just thinking abt how ive seen ppl write fics where Lucifer gets Sam pregnant instead of Kelly but ive never seen one where Sam gets pregnant in addition to her. I specifically loved how they wrote Sam feeling conflicted abt being pregnant with Lucifer's child bcuz although Jack is good he also had Kelly for a mother and Kelly is "human" and "good" in a way that sam isnt and therefore this new baby may be evil and corrupt bcuz Sam himself is evil and corrupt (or at least he believes himself to be). This ended up making me think of the theme of repeating cycles and how this could end up being a repeat of the original dynamic btwn John, Dean, and Sam.

Let's just say its a scenario where Dean and Cas are out of the picture and Lucifer is dead so Sam has to raise Jack and a new child on his own. For whatever reason Sam decides to raise them as hunters. Jack is of course the golden child. He's caring, kind, and good and of course he wants to hunt and support Sam however he can. However the new baby is different and despite Sam's best intentions, he can't help but be suspicious of the new baby. Bcuz Sam didn't die in child birth this baby is, in fact, still a baby. Sam loves the baby, but he's also terrified bcuz, unlike Jack, this baby isn't half human. And Sam wants this baby to be good so much that maybe he pushes a little too hard or is harsh when he should be soft. And maybe this baby grows up in the shadow of a seemingly perfect and obedient older brother with an absent and paranoid father. All the while, the baby dreams of a normal life that they can never have.

So yeah just like cycles and starting from the beginning again

[will80sbyers]

Yeah if ppl forgot Joey's birthday? Then i am afraid birthday gate is real. But without the involvement of Vecna i dont believe that theory sorry. Will got 16 candle'd and joey'd lol also thanks for sharing these sort of stuff btw. Ofc the duffers arent copy pasting everything but they certainly get inspo from their fav media stuff. And honestly the stuff that u shared made me think there is a high possibility of will rejecting mike at first but byler getting together later on. It is rather also ironic the same thing applies to lauire and amy storyline too.

It could be, we'll have to see!

There are a lot of weird coincidences with birthdaygate so I am still suspicious but I hope they write it in a way that I can like it too if it happens... I don't know!

There are so many parallels with the love triangle of Jen - Dawson - Joey so I think the Duffers shipped Joey and Dawson but then the TV show ended with Joey with someone else and I think they probably don't like that ending lmaooo

Dawson idolized Jen when they first met and she was Dawson's first real crush and he had his first time with her and they were in a relationship but then they break up because they didn't have any passion anymore and stay friends

Joey is an artist like Will and she fell for Dawson first and then Dawson realized he's in love with her too later because of the drawings she made and they end up starting something after Dawson remembers her birthday and they sleep together, they are childhood best friends to lovers

So so many parallels, it's suspicious 🌈

[stillresolved]

💕!!??! almost missed this 🥺 mx ferre, what if we... put (more of) our goons in (more) situations 🥺

@mythvoiced / send 💕 and I will tell you some muses…

ahhhh lenlen, the other person on here who enables me with 283948230 plots and dynamics...time for us to add like 8293048293 more 💕💕💕

okay so this was at the top of my list since you said?? That you were planning on bringing EUNJAE into our wonderful thg verse 🥺🥺🥺…and so the first person I actually though of throwing at them was ANNIE….I dunno?? I guess I just have a feeling that Annie would like eunjae for their personality- like they’re rough in mannerisms and a tad messy, both of which Annie doesn’t mind bc she’s used to being around ppl like that ( ie. Ga-ram & ara ) and also…I think she actually prefers…I think being treated completely like a piece of glass will begin to drive her up the wall :’D also my interpretation of annie is suspicious of most men/male-aligning individuals….so eunjae already checks all her boxes there <3

another dynamic I had been thinking about when you changed their fc :’D granted I’m not too sure how well these two would work out since SABRIEL isn’t the best at reading between the lines and ANNIE often operates in shades of grey but it would!! Be fun to see how they interact with one another especially at least for me throwing Annie at someone who is peppy and yet still for most part?? has good intentions?? even if sabriel can’t completely empathize with what Annie is going thru, I do think Annie would appreciate their good intentions at the very least :’D

DOE is a revolutionist (and a hacker, I could have sworn I read that somewhere but if not ignore me jfksljfsl :’D) and so is NELL, do I need to say anything more? granted they are on the same side when it comes to #revolution…but that doesn’t mean they agree to the degree which they should go for it. Doe is all for changing the system, where as team checkmate is more focused on….taking out one and only one enemy and looking out for their community. Perhaps interacting with someone like doe could radicalize her? also if doe is a hacker, nell can always have…a rival :)

okay HEAR ME OUT, I know that we do have EUNJAE and Patrick in verse one but WHAT ABOUT?? Eunjae and MYUNGDAE in verse two bc if Patrick is the competent if not a tad distant parent ( aka he had to adjust to fatherhood ngl ), then myungdae is…well think of say, jeo*ng jin*man from a shop of ki*llers, :’D aka parent that’s there, he just looks ( okay always looks ) a tad exhausted?? Out of it even? But he’s doing his best for four year old Yuri (Elise) even if he doesn’t quite feel his emotions fjskldfjs this is all to say since I’m seeing that lynnie is throwing Dante at them we might as well…bring the rest of the crime world to eunjae’s doorstep JFKLSDJFLD <3

If AERI knows of hyun, then she’s also gotta know…hyun’s sister, MIYOUNG 🤩🤩🤩 granted, Aeri might be a tad testy with miyoung since well, it’s not like miyoung could exactly be there for hyun when they were younger and is that really any different from the way bel and sera treated Aeri as condescendingly inferior :’DD ….but I also do like the idea of LGBTQ+ icons being friends with one another / media pals with one another….that and if hyun is hanging out with bel behind Aeri’s back, Aeri might as well…do the same 😂😂😂

you know who MARÍA reminds me of? Yeah that’s right, our favorite pink hair menace Nimona 🤩🤩🤩 they’re both little gremlins ( but very lovable) who wanna start shit. The revolutionary kind of shit…so this being said….WHAT IF?? Instead of Nimona being the cause of BALLISTER’S shift in mind, it could be maría instead?? We could even do it in their modern verse since I believe María does have one and is a werewolf there 🤔🤔🤔

so I know we already have a lot for them, PATRICK and MARÍA and I am a sucker for hurt/comfort with these two, but perhaps?? Later when the revolution is in full swing and should hyuk be kidnapped by the Capitol, a thread there? Aka Patrick cycles between being 💯 focused on the revolution efforts and being two steps away from a mental breakdown bc literally hyuk is his rock and his peace so take away that and uh….not good things happen. This is all to say, it could be interesting to see a scenario where perhaps maría for once is the stabler one ( however much Patrick will try to still be a pillar of stability for her tho 🥲 )

[dearweirdme]

taehyung is using taekook as a cover for taennie, and i'm not trying to say that he's using a gay relationship to hide a straight one, cause that's just stupid.

but let me walk you through this, over years tae's core fanbase has grown to be full of taekookers, and young y/n wannabes who think they have a shot with him one day, and those ones don't think he's gay and dating any member (not even jungkook) but they're comforted by the idea that ppl believe that tae might be dating a bts member because it means he's not dating a woman.

ok, so that's tae's fans. or at least most of them cause there's still normal ones who aren't avid believers that tae is romantically involved with any member, nor are they expecting themselves to date him one day, and are just kinda going with the flow and if he announces a partner one day (man or woman) they'll be happy for him.

tae starts dating jennie, and he's mostly keeping their relationship under wraps, until their photos gets leaked online by a supposed hacker(?) who got into jennie's phone. it blows up all over the internet and tae probably freaks out because his privacy was invaded. but as he watched the reactions and he sees that his fans denied it all and said that those were edits, he realizes that his fans got his back, and no matter what he does, they'll never believe him and jennie are actually dating. he won't lose his fans for dating after all!! cause they don't even believe it!!

taennie keep their relationship under wraps for a few more months but still wear cute couple necklaces that (again) tae's fans debunk as just mere accessories that don't have any deeper meaning. even though both jennie and tae have been wearing those necklaces for weeks, so it obviously means something to both of them individually. and seeing they're already rumored to be dating each other... it's not hard to put 2 + 2 together.

people start catching up on the couple necklaces and tae notices but he knows that if he distracts his fans with something he knows they'd like to hear about (aka jungkook) he has nothing to worry about. he does this for months, knowing very that his and jennie's rs isn't taken seriously because his fans think he's dating jungkook and are doing all the debunking for him.

so what do we have here? a taehyung who knows he can live his life with his gf in peace knowing his fans have his back and will deny anything sus him and jennie ever do, so he gets to have the best of both worlds.

until they get caught in paris, and the reactions are fucking crazy. taehyung's fans are doing absolutely everything in their power to debunk it, from cosplayer to PR narratives they tried it all, and it worked for the most part, in keeping his core fans still skeptical, and those are the ones whose reactions matter to taehyung, cause if those ones are disappointed in him and they leave he loses their support, and he doesn't want that.

so he comes back to korea to reward his fans by giving them another bone that keeps their faith in him going strong and they themselves know that their reward is coming, it's why they don't care about any taennie rumors, because they know taehyung will come to "prove everyone wrong".

taehyung can't be using taennie as a cover for taekook when taekookers were so sure that him and jk made their relationship official on the movie premiere day. he can't be using taennie as a cover while still being loud as hell about jungkook, and it's even more suspicious that jungkook isn't reciprocating the loud gestures. jungkook's latest live is the happiest we've seen him in a while, he can't be that happy while knowing his boyfriend is publicly dating someone else. he looked sad for months when him and tae were still "free" to do whatever they wanted without a third party in the picture, but as soon as he's publicly shoved in the closet again he's... happy?? weird.

i know you might not even reply to this, and if you do you'll most likely still disagree with me cause i know it's not that easy to change a shipper's mind on something they believed in for years. but i still felt like i should at least try to make you see things from a different angle, especially because none of us knows anything for sure and my explanation seems the most plausible, at least to me. taekook don't have to kiss in front of everyone to give tkkrs reasons to ship them, tkkrs already ship them based on things that are very much platonic but are seen from a romantic lens. taehyung knows that just a mere mention of jungkook online is enough to keep his fans happy and loyal to him, he's not queer-baiting, he's giving his fans what they want, and he knows that as long as he does this they'll keep believing he's not really dating jennie and will do all the hiding on his behalf. tae can go skinnydip with jennie right now in jeju island, and his fans will still debunk it because he mentioned jungkook on weverse yesterday, so it's obvious to them where his heart really lies.

Oh anon, your version of Taehyung is so different from my version of Taehyung. My Tae is strong and self assured, while yours is weak and cowering. No wonder we won't agree.

taehyung is using taekook as a cover for taennie, and i'm not trying to say that he's using a gay relationship to hide a straight one, cause that's just stupid.

Oh, I know you don't want to say that, because you do know it's stupid. You are trying very hard to say that Tae is mentioning Jk as much as he does, because he knows Army loves to see members interact, and if you'd just left it at that.. I might've agreed to some point, but you didn't... so let me walk trough your message with you.

but let me walk you through this, over years tae's core fanbase has grown to be full of taekookers, and young y/n wannabes who think they have a shot with him one day, and those ones don't think he's gay and dating any member (not even jungkook) but they're comforted by the idea that ppl believe that tae might be dating a bts member because it means he's not dating a woman.

This is you specifically pointing out that a huge part (according to you most, but I'm not sure that's correct) of Tae's fandom believes he is with Jk, or wants people to believe he is with Jk. This part believes Tae is queer.

tae starts dating jennie, and he's mostly keeping their relationship under wraps, until their photos gets leaked online by a supposed hacker(?) who got into jennie's phone. it blows up all over the internet and tae probably freaks out because his privacy was invaded. but as he watched the reactions and he sees that his fans denied it all and said that those were edits, he realizes that his fans got his back, and no matter what he does, they'll never believe him and jennie are actually dating. he won't lose his fans for dating after all!! cause they don't even believe it!!

How is 'fans not believing what he does' them having his back? Why would Tae be happy and relieved because of that? Is Tae really that weak in your eyes? Does Tae not call out people if he doesn't like what he sees? And you are actually stating (although not directly) that Tae sees it as a positive that the part of his fandom that believes he is with Jk (who believe he is queer) debunks his relationship with Jennie. Taekook against Taennie. "And no matter what he does, they'll never believe him and Jennie are actually dating" I cannot believe Tae would think that a good thing. Tae is proud, if he is in a relationship... he will be proud and behavior like that would hurt him. What you are still implying, even though you don't want to, is that Tae is relieved that people believe in Taekook and therefore don't believe in Taennie.

taennie keep their relationship under wraps for a few more months but still wear cute couple necklaces that (again) tae's fans debunk as just mere accessories that don't have any deeper meaning. even though both jennie and tae have been wearing those necklaces for weeks, so it obviously means something to both of them individually. and seeing they're already rumored to be dating each other... it's not hard to put 2 + 2 together.

Yeah, yeah...

people start catching up on the couple necklaces and tae notices but he knows that if he distracts his fans with something he knows they'd like to hear about (aka jungkook) he has nothing to worry about. he does this for months, knowing very that his and jennie's rs isn't taken seriously because his fans think he's dating jungkook and are doing all the debunking for him.

You know what would be a real simple and effective way to shut down those rumors that apparently give them anxiety... stop wearing the jewelry! Way more effective than using a rumored queer in-band relationship. Which again you are pointing out while not wanting to do so: "knowing very that his and jennie's rs isn't taken seriously because his fans think he's dating jungkook and are doing all the debunking for him." I don't know what to tell you anon, you are saying that Tae is knowingly using Taekook (the queer relationship, not the friend kind) to cover up Taennie.

so what do we have here? a taehyung who knows he can live his life with his gf in peace knowing his fans have his back and will deny anything sus him and jennie ever do, so he gets to have the best of both worlds.

Sigh, I'm quite sure at this point that you are not a Tae fan and you haven't even looked into him much. Something about this makes you feel comforted I'm sure... I can't really pinpoint what it must be, but it is far off from how I see things.

until they get caught in paris, and the reactions are fucking crazy. taehyung's fans are doing absolutely everything in their power to debunk it, from cosplayer to PR narratives they tried it all, and it worked for the most part, in keeping his core fans still skeptical, and those are the ones whose reactions matter to taehyung, cause if those ones are disappointed in him and they leave he loses their support, and he doesn't want that.

So, he doesn't actually care about a real connection with Army... he's only needs them to stay? Everything for fame and fortune? Not caring about people connecting Jk to queer rumors as well, not caring about Jimin getting shit, not caring about Jennie getting dragged? Only wanting to feel safe in his straight relationship, while being saved from discovery by fans believing in his queer one?

so he comes back to korea to reward his fans by giving them another bone that keeps their faith in him going strong and they themselves know that their reward is coming, it's why they don't care about any taennie rumors, because they know taehyung will come to "prove everyone wrong".

Again you pointing out Tae feeling safe because fans believe in his queer rumored relationship, Taekook.

taehyung can't be using taennie as a cover for taekook when taekookers were so sure that him and jk made their relationship official on the movie premiere day.

Not me!

he can't be using taennie as a cover while still being loud as hell about jungkook, and it's even more suspicious that jungkook isn't reciprocating the loud gestures.

Also not me!

jungkook's latest live is the happiest we've seen him in a while, he can't be that happy while knowing his boyfriend is publicly dating someone else. he looked sad for months when him and tae were still "free" to do whatever they wanted without a third party in the picture, but as soon as he's publicly shoved in the closet again he's... happy?? weird.

I don't think Jk looked sad for months. Some instances perhaps, but this is a very unsure time for BTS as a whole. They have to say goodbye to each other for a long period of time, going solo is very different from what they are used to... Jk might be worried, but there's plenty of reasons for him to be... it doesn't have to be his relationship with Tae (why am I explaining this... you don't even think it's real... why are you pointing this out? You are connecting Jk being sad to Tae.. that's not me.) Tae was almost on his way back when Jk did his live... seems a great reason for him to be happy to me.

cause i know it's not that easy to change a shipper's mind on something they believed in for years. but i still felt like i should at least try to make you see things from a different angle, especially because none of us knows anything for sure and my explanation seems the most plausible, at least to me.

I don't need a savior anon. If you've followed my blog you would have noticed that I do leave room for discussion and I do change my mind when a solid reason is presented to me. I need sound reasoning though and your reasoning is faulty. It took me no time to shoot holes in it. I'm fine with people disagreeing. I like having conversations with people from all sides of fandom. What I do have trouble with is people blaming Tae and people misconstruing his character when he has fought so hard to get where he is now.

To summarize, You admit that Tae knows a huge part of his fandom blieves in Taekook. You admit that he utilizes that to divert attention from him and Jennie. You admit that it the outcome he wants. "he's giving his fans what they want, and he knows that as long as he does this they'll keep believing he's not really dating jennie and will do all the hiding on his behalf. tae can go skinnydip with jennie right now in jeju island, and his fans will still debunk it because he mentioned jungkook on weverse yesterday, so it's obvious to them where his heart really lies." You might not want to say that he's using a queer ship to cover up a straight one, but you defintely are.

Remember the time when some girl catfished colby? I heard that the “catfish” was all the time the real girl that colby stood up for? I know this drama is old, but im still confused to this day💀.. like why did she do that

that whole situation is very weird and messy and we never got the full story of what transpired/the full truth.

so this is what i heard. idk how much of it is completely true, so if others heard differently let me know lol

this became really long so sorry if you don't want to read a novel.

there was this account named brocksbaby and she would post pictures of herself along with edits of snc and the friend group back in 2019. she became really popular, had her own fans (so to speak), and in general was really known in the fandom. she also had another account named alexsdead.

one day, colby commented on her pic saying “you can’t be real 😱” and then later on answered a dm of hers saying something like “please don’t be a catfish. ok? ok."

after this point, they started to dm back and forth, and eventually moved their convos to snapchat. around this time colby made it known to her and the fandom et large that his dms were broken, and that’s why he wanted to move his convo with her over there.

so the thing is… colby claims he had a suspicious feeling that she was a catfish from the get go, hence the comment. and brocksbaby at the time had this one friend, named sam funny enough, that she was sharing all of these dms to. colby said in his video that he wasn’t really talking to her all that much, just every once and a while. and the dms that sam saw and then gave back to colby once the account was deleted kinda show that yeah he wasn’t talking to her all that much, but he was talking to her regardless.

but it never went above a pg convo, so don’t go crazy yall lol

now, there were other fans in the fandom that felt that she was a catfish and really made it be known that she was. hilariously one of them was godcolby - which if you know your snc lore…. she was equally as crazy in her own way. what ended up happening is that bc brocksbaby had more followers, she came out and said how upsetting it was that these ppl were spreading lies about her. so all of her “fans” went after this group of other fans and sent them nasty messages, death threats, the whole nine yards.

how did it all come crashing down?

well somehow, one of the fans that didn’t like brocksbaby happened to randomly find Alex, as in actual Alex, not brocksbaby. they dmed her, asked her if she knew about this account, and Alex said she didn’t, and that apparently ppl had used her pics to catfish before.

so….. i gotta be honest with you, i find that statement very hard to believe. Alex was not an influencer at the time. she was a random girl who had roughly 1k followers on insta. she had a normal job and everything. she sort of became an influencer after this whole thing, but i’m getting ahead of myself.

so Alex reaches out to colby and tells him that that’s not her, and she apologizes for this accounts behalf (…even tho the account didn’t do anything?). all the fan accounts that didn’t like brocksbaby start going crazy, posting how brocksbaby is a catfish, she’s a liar, ect ect.

sam, the friend she had, finds out. and i was relatively friendly with her at the time. she started going live every day after this occurred. she was really heartbroken bc she told brocksbaby all of this stuff about her life, and she thought they were best friends, so of course when she found out she wasn’t who she thought she was, she felt betrayed.

i was watching her live stream when she said “you know, i have all of the ss she sent me of their convos. i’m gonna send them to colby.” and that’s how he was able to make his videos, bc once brocksbaby got backlash, she deleted her account. and sam stepped in and sent him everything she had.

and it was claimed that brocksbaby was actually a 16ish year old girl and not the 21 year old she portrayed.

so… how does all of this get turned on Alex?

colby made his first video and she EXPLODED in followers basically overnight. i’m talking going from 1k to 10k in like 24 hours. it was nuts. also ngl… i don’t get why so many fans followed her since like i mentioned (and like she said in one of his vids) she was just a normal girl and not an influencer.

she ended up doing a bunch of lives during that time, and eventually her and sam talked. and at first their convos were nice, with Alex trying to smooth everything over. but something went awry, and i’m not sure what happened for that to take place, but then all of sudden Alex was being extremely rude to sam. and mind you, sam is 17, maybe 18? and Alex is 21/22. so Alex should have known better not to bad mouth a minor. plus, it was very odd for her to all of sudden go from being really friendly to all the fans to turning on a random one. and this eventually bled into her being really mean and snarky to a lot of fans.

now granted, it's possible that fans were giving her slack and she just... didn't know how to handle that. but it's not like a gun is being held to your head, telling you to interact with fans. you don't have to. if i got an influx of ppl paying attention to me, i probably would remove myself entirely from the situation for a while. but i digress.

at some point during all of this, sam makes the joke "omg what if Alex IS brocksbaby. that would be so funny, but there's no way." bc according to sam, she "saw" what brocksbaby looked like, aka a 16 year old girl.

so..... like i mentioned earlier, brocksbaby had a second account that she surprisingly was still active on (that's what sam said, which is why i'm telling you this). i think the account was private at this point. i remember sam came on her live stream, reeling, saying that she found out that brocksbaby and Alex are the SAME PERSON bc of this account. according to her, or what i remember taking place, someone got alexsdead to click a link that saved their ip address, then did the same to Alex and ALLEDGEDLY it was the same ip address.

ngl, i think this is technically illegal, but you know what? i'm not gonna try to argue about old drama lol

sam tells everyone on her live, i think she might have showed it too but idk at this point in time, and then everyone started going crazy at Alex, calling her a fake, a liar, ect.

Alex tried to defend herself, saying that that wasn't her. she even tried to show her own ip address just to prove it wasn't the same one. but no one cared to listen. and she got pissed that colby wasn't standing up for her against his fans.

idk what she expected from a man that just found out she existed all of two seconds ago but... okay.

i also forgot to mention colby also replied to an email of sam's basically letting her know that he heard what Alex was doing, apologized on her behalf, and told sam to block Alex if she continued to be rude to her.

Alex at the time also gained a following on twitter, and that's where most of her hatefulness went rampant. her fans were fighting with snc fans for a long time, they tried cancelling colby for nonsense shit that just didn't happen. the last time i heard about her, she called snc pervs or something bc they posted that picture of them with jake and corey at the la house with their asses out and said "you guys have such young fans, this is gross", all while promoting her only fans so...... pot meet kettle lol

now, all of this is to say, was Alex actually brocksbaby?

i'm not entirely sure, but i also think she was. think of it this way, even if you take out the whole idea that their ip addresses matched, which to me feels so far fetched anyway, Alex wasn't a known influencer before all of this shit. the likelihood that one of her 1k followers was ALSO a snc fan that felt the need to catfish as her is slim. not to mention, colby talked about in his video how he would ask her to send a video of her waving or giving a thumbs up or whatever, and she would be able to do that sometimes. and that to me is a bit confusing. bc unless this catfish literally had EVERY piece of media Alex ever made saved and ready to repost on snapchat, how the fuck would she be able to, on a dime, send him what he was requesting to see if she was real? either a, this was a person that knew Alex (like a younger sister or cousin) and thus had access to all of her content, b, this was a very high ranking catfish that just... gave up immediately after getting called out OR c, it was Alex pretending to not be this fan for whatever reason.

maybe she was embarrassed when she got caught so she lied. maybe it was a younger relative that just wanted to be notice by colby. idk and tbh at this point, it's such old news i don't think we will ever know the real truth.

!!FEMALE/FEM ALIGNED PPL DNI!!

You two sat in Argyle's van, it was a hot summer day sweat glistening on your skin. This was a very familiar sight for the two of you. After school curled up in his van, some days you couldn’t even wait till then. Ditching class halfway through the fourth period, Led Zeppelin blasting from the car stereo. Faint clouds of smoke litter the air from your last puff. Here you sat admiring Argyle in all his glory while he rambled on about something you couldn’t remember perhaps something about pineapple pizza and how he insisted people were delusional for not having his same opinion, honestly, you weren’t paying much attention anyway, something far more important sat in front of you. His gorgeous jet black locks fanning wildly across his forehead as a result of sitting up from lying spread across the van’s floor. “ y/n… hello? Y/N!“ the man shouted tearing you from your trance. “huh?” You replied dazed. “I said that’s crazy don’t you agree?” “What yeah, yeah of course I agree!“ You exclaimed enthusiastically. “Fuck you, you aren’t even paying attention” he joked as he shoved you into the van’s wall with a thump. You yelled and rubbed your head after it collided with the van. “What we’re you even thinking about you looked super like concentrated bro, is the purple palm tree delight kicking in or what?”. You quickly diverted your gaze to the carpeted floor, deep in thought you panicked realizing he totally caught you drooling over him. Not like that was a problem you and argyle have been dating for the past couple of months, even still the little things like this never failed to bring a beet root-shaded blush to your cheeks “No yeah it’s purple palm tree delight… it’s kicking in right now I feel it dude…” you trailed off putting on your best front as if he didn’t just witness you blushing like a minute ago. “Nah you're suspicious…JUST TELL ME WHAT YOUR THINKING!” he burst to tackle you to the floor straddling you and tickling your sides. You cackled at the feeling trying your hardest to shove him off “Argyle come on, get off me” you blurted in between giggles. “Not until you tell me what going on in that pretty little brain of yours man” He persisted continuing his attack on you. “FINE, fine play it’s just that…” the room fell silent as if the music blasting from the radio wasn’t there at all and all of a sudden it felt like only you two existed in the entire world, only he mattered. “It’s just that you are so beautiful, you make me insane, I can’t believe your mine.” You confessed looking up at him and stroking his hair. “You doofus you could’ve said you thought I was hot earlier” You chuckled at the statement as he relaxed in your lap leaning down to place a chaste kiss on your lips. You groaned in frustration at the lack of contact when he pulled away from you to mutter another witty response. “I-“ he started being rudely interrupted by your lips crashing against his. He let a muffled protest come out as an inevitable groan silenced by smushed mouths rubbing against one another. Argyle melted into the long kiss as you put your hand back in his hair softly playing with it, tussling silky tuffs with your palm. After a prolonged amount of time you pulled away when the thought hit you that it was getting hard to breathe. “God I love this hair, I love everything about you.. I love you Argyle” His eyes widened “Oh my fucking god you said it, you said it!“ He hugged you back and you looked up at him puzzled. “Took you long enough” He huffed kidding. You slyly slipped up from underneath him while he was entranced in a fit of laughter and climbed on top of him wrestling him to the ground. “Hey, no fair I wasn’t paying attention” He yelped as he felt cold hands creep under his shirt getting revenge for the torture you just endured. “PAYBACK” you shouted tickling him mercilessly ignoring his unintelligible squeaks and begging for pity. The laughter died down as you gazed down at his glassy eyes, the whites coming out a light pink due to the copious amounts of weed ingested not too long ago.

Argyle jumped up from his position, reaching out a generous hand. Taking his hand you allowed him to lift you slightly just enough so you were sitting up straight. You shifted your gaze from his hand to his head and couldn’t help the laughter erupting from the pit of your stomach. “What’s so funny, pretty boy.” He questioned genuinely curious not aware of the mess his hair was. He resembled a lion, a wild mane sticking straight up. “What are we gonna do with that mop.” You bantered eyes following his figure as he got up from the comfy position on the floor to check his reflection in the van mirror. “Jesus Christ why didn’t you tell me this is how I looked earlier” he complained. “Oh c’mon it’s not that bad I think it’s cute actually”. “Of course, you do y/n your my boyfriend.” He grumbled rustling in the glove compartment of his van. “What are you looking for baby boy,” You asked. Wincing at the nickname he pulled out a hairbrush sitting back down on the floor but this time he settled between your legs as you both leaned back against the van wall. “Just brush it, please?” He pleaded to flash puppy eyes at you. You hesitated before grabbing the brush out of his hands focusing your undivided attention on the beautiful mess before your eyes. You got through the notes and began running the brush seamlessly through the man’s silky hair. “That feels good actually, keep going”. He relaxed in your lap fully laying his weight on you. A couple of minutes went by as you realized the strange silence surrounding the van. He was never this silent always a silly comment coming out of him or some random rant randomly coming up from the depths of his brain. Deep in thought, you were ripped right out upon hearing soft snores coming from the stoner below. You smirked to yourself letting out a soft chuckle back yourself. There you sat in the van, Argyle sprawled across your lightly petting his hair being sure not to wake him up. Just let him sleep completely ignoring the cramp in your legs. You did love Argyle.
