gay sex starter kit [david/patrick, E, 4,757] by mihaly

Patrick may be emotionally and mentally ready to bottom for David, but he is in no way physically ready to take David's massive cock. David has an idea to get him there.

Hurts 2B Human [david/patrick, T, 2,523] by @wildxwiredmakes

David has never enjoyed his birthdays, mostly because he’s never had anyone to celebrate with. Sure, there were people, but they were just bodies, just faces beaming up at him with fake sincerity as he bought yet another round of drinks. His birthdays always reminded him how alone he was... — OR what I think would happen if David didn’t go to dinner with Patrick on his birthday.

[Podfic] birth is a curse (and existence a prison) | written by monsterbate [david/patrick, M, podfic] by Tipsy_Kitty

“You’ve seen Beauty and the Beast, David.” Alexis is trimming her nails again. They seem to be growing faster than usual, like David’s hair, which is a thing he is not going to dwell on. “The Emma Watson vehicle?” Stevie scoffs. “Are you claiming to have never seen the original Disney masterpiece?” “Okay, excuse me for not remembering an early 90s cartoon like some kind of manual for living or something—” “Anyways, this is that. You’re trapped in an enchantment of your own screw-ups. Congratulations.” Stevie throws her hands wide like some bastardization of jazz hands. “Wait—am I Dan Stevens in this situation? Because that’s not going to work. Like, at all.”

[Podfic] Save the Date [david/patrick, G, podfic] by Amanita_Fierce @hagface @schittyfic

“I could go with you,” David offers tentatively. “Pretend to be your date?” An almost fake dating fic. [Podfic of "Save the Date," written by schittposting]

All the doors I closed one time will open up again [david/patrick, G, 100] by @simplymarleycat

A drabble where David's dreams take him back, but his present quickly reminds him of the truth.

Basically His Only Friend [alexis & johnny, NR, 1,414] by jmda4

(Takes place during 5x13 The Hike) Minutes after realizing that she'd miss her family, Alexis feels her stomach drop when she checks her phone and sees a stream of missed texts from Stevie."Your Dad's in the hospital. They don't know what's wrong.""We're at Elmdale Hospital. He was having chest pain and couldn't breathe.""Alexis?"

Budd is a dud! Vote Sands. [stevie/twyla, T, 7,718] by @samwhambam

Her and Twyla are friends. Not great friends. But friends who get high together at parties and have known each other for a long time. And up until right now, she thought they were better friends than a shitty, mean campaign slogan. The enemies to lovers fic where Stevie and Twyla are both running for the same seat on town council.

David Rose vs the House Hippo [david/patrick, T, 1,100] by @mostlyinthemorning

David and Patrick’s new house comes with a surprise tenant and David’s not sure how he feels about it. Patrick, on the other hand, is very excited.

Do we soon forget the things we cannot see? [david/patrick, t, 5,516] by @kiwiana-writes

David grimaces. He doesn’t not believe in ghosts, and he’s watched enough horror films in his time to know that summoning them on purpose does not, in fact, seem like a great idea. “Is that really a high school slumber party thing, though?”

Fall Off a Bridge, Please [david/patrick, T, 7,661] by @hagface

“I told you,” he says, “You’ve got to answer a question.” “You never said I had to do anything,” David bites back, the pitch of his voice climbing ever higher. “If you’re that hung up on semantics I should clarify that it’s actually a riddle.” “A riddle!” David knows he’s yelling now because he can hear his voice echoing down the bank and through the trees. “What are you,” he asks, “some kind of troll?” “Actually—” the man smiles again, “—yes.” OR: Patrick is a troll who guards the Schitt's Creek bridge. David must answer his riddles in order to cross into Elmdale, where he works at The Blouse Barn.

I had a thought dear, however scary [david/patrick, G, 511] by petrichor_apothecary

Patrick does a bit of thinking a couple weeks before proposing to David.

so this is the miracle that i've been dreaming of [david/patrick, T, 10,335] by @hullomoon

After finally accepting the arranged marriage his parents made, David meets Patrick. Sparks fly and now David has to figure out whether he will follow through with the marriage or be with Patrick.

You're As Cold as Ice [david/patrick, g, 1,026] by mindswindowsdoors

The door to the guest room squeaks open and David hears his husband's frustrated sigh. "David, what are you doing?" "Sleeping. What does it look like?" He doesn't care how petulant he sounds. "Baby, would you please come to bed?" "I am in bed. And we are not doing baby."

favorite fandom things

I still can’t believe our little weewoo show is ending. This is a bittersweet one, but it totally tracks with the vibes this fandom has nurtured here, full of feels and squee and passing those things on. Thanks to @thisbuildinghasfeelings for starting this one, and @welcometololaland @rmd-writes @reyesstrand @strandnreyes @nisbanisba @carlossreaders @bonheur-cafe @tellmegoodbye and @heartstringsduet for tagging me.

These are a few of my favorite things about being part of the Tarlos/Lone Star fandom.

All the Words I’ve been a Lone Star viewer since the very beginning — as a 9-1-1 viewer, a spinoff with Liv Tyler and firefighting Chris Traeger proved too great a pull to resist. And for years, It was one of those happy place shows — things like The Good Place, Ted Lasso, Schitt’s Creek — that I thought I’d just enjoy watching every week, without any real need or desire to write it. After all, the cast was diverse (but not for diversity’s sake), the stories were compelling, and my ship had been canon since day one. Then the Season of Carlos got underway, and the bunnies began to breed. It had been awhile since I really wrote anything — my previous show did my ship and fave characters so dirty that I couldn’t get far enough removed from my hurt and anger to actually get words out. But I saw the preview for 4x04, it planted an idea that wouldn’t leave me alone, and before the night was over I’d written the first two thousands words of to build a home (not the first scene, by any means, but the muse does what she wants). There have been so, so many more words since, both published and not yet revealed, and somewhere in there my brain started to spawn bunnies for another fandom I picked up in 2020 and never thought I would write. I love Lone Star for a lot of reasons, but here at the end, the very biggest is the fact that it gave writing back to me.

All the Fic When I say my old show fucked with my head, I mean it — it even stopped me reading fic for a long time. Which is a shame. That fandom, though small, had such a high concentration of ridiculously talented people, some of whom I’m lucky enough to still call close friends today. It spoiled me, and I think it even kept me from venturing into reading in other fandoms for fear of not finding fic at that level. Imagine my surprise when I started reading Tarlos, and found myself immersed in another sea of gifted writers. I am continually blown away by the creativity and care in this fandom. Especially on the heels of my last one, which was a genre show with actual magic and batshit storytelling and seemingly limitless possibilities — the fact that I’m no less entertained by or invested in or consistently in awe of the things Tarlos writers are able to do with these characters, overwhelmingly within the bounds and confines of a real-world procedural, is kind of amazing. (Shoutout to CIG’s beautiful Fire Island, which was the very first thing I ever read.)

All the Enthusiasm I’m going to keep this one short, lest I get overly emotional. But I wasn’t sure, when I first started posting, how my particular point of view would be received — starting out of the gate with something deep in Carlos’ head, exploring parts of his childhood and culture that I desperately wanted to see on the show. The reception that to build a home got still shocks me, to be honest, and I’m grateful for every comment and kudo and kind word. Now everyone go read What Is Sown, What Is Grown, which is a goddamn masterpiece.

All the Tag Games! Not gonna lie, there have been weeks with so many tag games that I wondered how any of y’all actually manage to write. But it’s so much fun to read everyone’s snippets every week, to look at your inspiration images and listen to your Music Monday choices and just take a beat to collectively celebrate this shared obsession with our blorbos. I’ve been writing fic for twenty years (yes, I’m a fandom old, or what the internet has deemed a “geriatric Millennial”), and I’ve seen my share of drama and wank and mean girl vendettas and fandoms soured by BNF culture. And it’s so refreshing to have seen so little of that here. I remember my early days of Tarlos posting, and the way Lola and Rae and a few other people took me under their tag wings and never looked back. And that’s still happening, with so many new authors who emerge — the list of people being tagged and tagging in return just keeps growing. Yes, there’s discourse, and there’s disagreement, and things can get a bit heated. But overall, this is such a great space to inhabit, and you guys have made it that way. If you don’t believe me, look no further than this accidental Tumblr storm about vaguenotion’s You Keep Coming Back with a Bird in Your Teeth, which remains one of my favorite examples of the way this fandom happily opens its arms and offers new folks punch and pie.

A very honorable mention goes to Lone Star being the thing that gave @ambiguouspenny and I a shared fandom again (and so letting them grace the world with more of their art).

I am late as hell, it’s almost tomorrow. So, open tag! (But also @liminalmemories21 @never-blooms @carlos-in-glasses @paperstorm @herefortarlos @lemonlyman-dotcom @walkinginland @reasonandfaithinharmony I’m looking at you.)

Wrestlemania thoughts

Night 1

Was not expecting the Gunther tap out

New Day needed the win bc they were losing momentum in their heel storyline

Insanely impressed by Rey Fenix. What a great Wrestlemania debut. Awesome wrestler. The El Grande Americano wins feels like it was done in poor taste with the AAA announcement

Jade/Naomi was actually incredible. Sets up well for more Bianca involvement. Skill set/acrobatics wise, I would love to see them go against Iyo or Tiffy

I love a Jacob Fatu moonsault 😍

Listennn this is a Seth Stan account and that match was awesome. And Seth’s entrance was music to my soul. Love the Paul betrayal

Night 2

The women’s triple threat should have been main event. Everything was *chefs kiss* (side note, I want a new heel faction with Biance and Seth like David and Alexis from Schitt’s Creek). I think they need to develop Iyo’s face character more beyond “im happy to be here, don’t discount me”

Happy that Dom won the IWC. I think we saw the beginning of the breakup of Judgement Day which I’m cool with. My guess is Finn will leave JD, Dom and Liv will spin off together with Raquel third wheeling, and Carlito will just tag along with whoever will take him. Because of the loss to Lyra, I think we will see Liv and Raquel begin singles matches and chase Lyra for the singles title. I think we will also see new rivalries between Penta/Finn/Dom/Bron

Actually pleasantly impressed with McIntyre

Best moment of the night was Joe Hendry. I did not see that coming.

AJ and L*gan 🙄

BECKY LYNCH MADE ME SO HAPPY

Cody/Cena was actually not as good as I was anticipating. We all knew Cena would win which meant they needed to do something big during the match and instead we got Travis Scott???

I don’t care for Travis Scott’s involvement. Enough with celebrity wrestlers who are not event top tier/beloved celebrities to begin with.

The crowd was way better this night, but still they felt quiet for a Wrestlemania crowd? Like the energy they brought to Cody/Cena should have been the energy both nights for all matches

Best Friends with Benefits

AN: merry late Christmas & happy new year @girltickles! I loved stepping in to write your fic! Thanks for being patient. It was so much fun, I love writing for this fandom! This fic is more ambiguously spicy than some of my other fics, but nothing really happens other than light bondage. Anyway, hope you enjoy!

They both knew this was nothing more than a fling. But it's not like Schitts Creek has much in terms of dating. Or in their case, just screwing around.

David was a surprisingly good lay, if a bit bossy and needy. But damn, did they have fun together. More importantly, Stevie trusted him. Enough to consider asking for something she'd wanted for a long time.

But she was hesitant. David was more than just another fuck buddy, he was her best friend, she didn't want to make things awkward between them. Although, she supposed by now, they were well past that point. David was only judgy about the little things; he knew better than to mock you when he could tell it meant something.

Still, that doesn't mean she wasn't nervous.

And apparently, she was being obvious.

"Is everything okay?" David asked, lying on his side to face her. The sheets were pulled up just above his waist, and Alexis found herself staring at his bare chest.

"Great."

"Okay, now I know something's wrong," he said matter of factly. She rolled her eyes, throwing her hands up in defeat.

"Nothing's wrong!" she insisted.

"Did you not like the tongue thing? I was just trying something new, and I-"

"No, no, the tongue thing's good. I liked it, a lot," she reassured, a slight flush dusting her cheeks as she thought back. "Just forget about it, it's stupid."

"Hey, whatever it is, it's not stupid. You can tell me," David said, reaching out to card his fingers through her hair. She hummed and leaned into the touch, eyes fluttering closed.

"Promise you won't laugh."

"I'll try my best, but you're very funny," he teased, smiling proudly when she chuckled, smacking his arm weakly.

"Oh I know I am," she bragged playfully.

"Sooo," he prompted, dragging out the word to help lighten the mood.

"It's embarrassing."

"We've both seen each other naked," he deadpanned, as if that was the pinnacle of embarrassment. Either he was right, or she was about to prove him very wrong.

"Fair," she admitted with a slight tilt of her head. He stared at her expectantly, and she sighed. "So I was with this guy-"

"Ooo, tell me more!" he teased, getting more comfortable.

"I was!" she lightly smacked his shoulder, a smile already tugging at her lips. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.

"Anyway, so he was just passing through, but we really hit it off. And oh my God, David, you should've seen him! He had this long dark hair, and beard, and abs for days."

"Okay, you did not just say "abs for days,"" David taunted, adding air quotes for dramatic effect. She scoffed, a bark of laughter slipping through.

"Shut up, he really did! But he was so hot, I already made up my mind that I was gonna do anything he wanted," she began to explain.

"Obviously," David nodded along, listening intently now.

"And one night, he uh," she paused, clearing her throat. Why was it so hard to speak all of a sudden? She could feel her face getting warmer and knew she was blushing. David bit his lip to suppress his grin. He'd never seen Stevie so flustered before... It was a good look on her.

Come on Stevie, just spit it out!

"He tied me to the bed and tickled me," she blurted out, pulling the sheets up to her mouth to muffle her voice.

"Oh," David said, blinking a few times in surprise. That certainly wasn't where he thought this conversation was heading. "Well, did you like it?"

She gawked at him, "Why else would I be telling you this?" A sly smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, small at first, but it grew with each massing second into a mischievous grin.

"Don't-"

"Aaaaaaw!" David cooed loudly, scooping her up in a tight hug before she could even think to escape.

"Shut up David!" she scolded, but didn't actually mean it."

"What, this wasn't the reaction you were hoping for?" he asked, his breath ghosting over her neck and making her smile.

It was actually better than she expected. David was a little awkward when it came to touch and affection, so the fact that he was so accepting must be a good sign.

"It's a bit much, to be honest," she teased, squeaking when he unexpectedly pinched her side.

"You literally asked for this!" he noted, unable to stop smiling. 

"I knooow," she whined, reaching up to hide her face. He couldn't help but scribble his fingers in her exposed pits. She snorted, and David was hooked.

"Oh I gotta hear that again!" he cheered, straddling her waist as he wrestled her arms above her head. He was stronger than she gave him credit for.

It was... kinda hot.

"Sorry I don't have a cuffs or anything, it sounds like that guy was really prepared."

Stevie swallowed the lump in her throat. "He was."

"So what was, like, your favorite thing he did?"

"Um- I-" she stuttered, unable to find the words. David noticed she was having trouble, and decided to help her out.

"Okay, maybe that's too specific. Just tell me what you remember enjoying."

How the hell was he being so casual about all this?

"Well, for starters, his stubble felt horrible in the most amazing way-"

"Wait, should I be taking notes?"

"David!"

"What? I'm trying to give you what you want. Now stop beating around the bush!" he demanded, delivering quick pokes to her belly.

"Okay, okahay!" she conceded, already giddy for what was to come. "I-I really liked when he tickled my neck and ears," she began, a dark blush already spreading. "And uh, thighs are a good spot. Pretty sure I'll scream."

"Oh you will," he added smugly. She grabbed the pillow to hide.

"And he took a fuckin' hairbrush to my feet."

David arched a brow, "And how was that?"

"Awful."

"Awfully good," he taunted, earning a pillow to the face.

"But he used some kind of lotion or oil, and I swear it made it worse. Don't ask me how, but it did.

David flashed her a soft smile, "Are you telling me this because you know I have, like, a ton of scented oils and lotions?"

Stevie froze.

"What? No-"

"Be right back!"

"Wait, David! Where are you going?" she yelled as he leapt from the bed, already standing in the doorway.

"Just grabbing a few things," he said, shooting her a wink before he left, only clad in a pair of boxers. She fell back against the headboard, shaking her head fondly.

He came back with a small tote, various items sticking out from the top.

"Okay, so, I lied. I did have cuffs, I just had to go get them," he chirped, reaching in his bag to pull out a fuzzy pink pair of cuffs, dangling them for her to see.

She was speechless.

"I- uh- wha- what all did you get?" she asked in a stutter.

"That's for me to know, and you to find out," he purred, twirling the cuffs around his finger before crawling on the bed and straddling her. "Now be a good girl and put those arms up."

She closed her eyes, but did as she was told. "You're gonna fucking kill me, aren't you?" she accused.

"I doubt it," he shrugged off her concerns. "If you can survive the tickle expert, I think you'll be fine with me." He locked her arms in place, effectively trapping her beneath him.

"Oho my God, don't call him that!" she scolded, her blush darkening to a shade.

"I'm serious! And if I'm being honest, a little nervous!"

"You're nervous?" she asked incredulously.

"Full disclosure, but I don't have a lot of practice with... all this. So just... let me know if I'm doing something wrong."

"David, it's just tickling. It's not rocket science," she deadpanned.

"Oh," he cocked his head to the side, leveling her with a playful glare. He slipped a finger beneath her bra strap, pulling it back to snap against her shoulder.

"Ow!" she hissed, but it was more out of reflex than actual pain.

"Don't get sassy with me," he warned, but he knew she would. He was counting on it, actually.

"Will you just get on with it?" she honest to God whined. So excuse him for reveling in the moment.

"Well, since you asked so nicely," he drawled, making a show of cracking his knuckles before he got started.

Stevie braced herself for what she knew was coming, and yet, she still screamed.

"Oh wow, so you're like, super ticklish! I honestly didn't expect that, it's actually really cute," he taunted playfully, scribbling up and down her bare sides. She squealed, twisting her body any way she could manage.

"HeheHEHEY!" she tried to protest, snorting before dissolving into loud, carefree cackles. "I ahaham nohot cute!" she adamantly denied.

"Wanna try saying that again, without laughing?" he asked with feigned innocence. He crawled up her ribs before drilling his thumbs in her exposed hollows.

"Ohoho FUCK you!" she snapped back before thinking better of it. David's eyebrows shot up to his hairline, and she immediately began to backtrack. "Nonono wahahait, I didn't mehehean thahahat!"

David retaliated by scribbling all ten fingers under her arms, enjoying the uncharacteristic squeal that escaped her.

"Really? 'Cause it really seemed like you did," he said without an ounce of sympathy. Stevie only dug her grave even deeper.

"So whahahat if I dihid?" she asked, sporting a cheeky grin that wasn't entirely a result from the tickling.

"You know, you can just ask me to make it worse. You don't have to be such a damn brat about it," he huffed, sounding more exasperated than he actually was.

"Whahat did you just call mehehe?" she asked breathlessly, staring up at him incredulously.

"A b, r, a, t, brat!" he spelled out, drawing each letter across her tummy, earning a shocked snort followed by bubbly giggles, finishing by wiggling a finger in her bellybutton. She arched her back with a shriek, falling into a helpless round of cackles. She shook her head back and forth, tugging uselessly on the pair of cuffs.

"OHOHOKAHAHAY! OHOKAHAY DAVIHIHID, I GET IHIHIT!" she managed to speak through her hysterics. David pulled back with a satisfied hum, giving her another quick breather.

"Glad we're on the same page."

She glared at him, a wide smile still splitting her face in two. "I fuckin' hate you."

"I wouldn't lie if I were you," he warned, wiggling his fingers threateningly. She flinched involuntarily, internally cringing at herself.

"Trust me, I'm not," she held firm, trying to look anywhere other than his hands, but her eyes kept darting back.

"Well in that case, you're about to despise me," he purred, leaning down to whisper in her ear as he straddled her waist. Without warning, he blew a raspberry on her neck, catching her completely off guard and shattering any tension that was building up.

"NOHOHO!" she screamed, trying her best to scrunch her neck for protection. David nuzzled in the crook of her neck, rubbing his stubble against her soft skin, nipping and nibbling lightly. Stevie felt her knees to weak, all the fighting strength she had in her slowly leaking out. "D- Davihihid, plehehease!" she whined, closing her eyes as tight as she could, as if that would somehow alleviate the torturous sensation.

"Please what, Stevie? C'mon, use your words," he cooed down at her, definitely intending to come off as patronizing. Before she could answer, he blew another raspberry, just to cut her off. She screams in his ear, desperately trying to squirm away.

She trails off into helpless giggles as he moves down to nibble against her ribs and sides, blowing small raspberries along the way. He gave her another quick break, just rubbing his stubbly chin on her belly, and she continued to giggle and hiccup as she caught her breath.

"You're sohoho mehehehean," she whined, hiding her face in the crook of her arm. David hummed in amusement.

"Actually, I'm being incredibly nice, seeing as I'm doing exactly what you asked," he so rudely pointed out. Stevie groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Ugh, don't remind me."

David chuckled, kneading from her sides to her hips, down her thighs. Stevie gasped before shocked, hysterical cackles filled the air.

"Okay, I won't," he chirped condescendingly, vibrating clawed hands into the muscle. She kicked and thrashed around, snorting and squealing all the while. He took his time, savoring every second.

By the time he reached her feet; she was nothing but a giggly puddle. He gave her another break, allowing her the chance to catch her breath and speak.

"You're ahawfully good fohohor someone so unsure of himself," she quipped through residual giggles.

David shrugged proudly, "I'm a fast learner." He drug a finger up the sole of her foot. Her leg instinctively jerked away.

"Lucky mehe," she scoffed, rolling her eyes.

David smirked, reaching a hand inside his bag to pull out a soft hairbrush and bottle of lotion. "Very lucky."

“Um, I do drink red wine, but I also drink white wine. And I’ve been known to sample the occasional rosé. And a couple summers back, I tried a Merlot that used to be a Chardonnay, which got a bit complicated… I like the wine and not the label. Does that make sense?”

“Everybody’s story is different. There’s your version, and my version, and everything in between. But the one thing that all of those stories have in common is that moment right before you say those words when your heart is racing, and you don’t know what’s coming next. That moment’s really terrifying. And then once you say those words, you can’t unsay them. A chapter has ended, and a new one’s begun, and you have to be ready for that.”

— John, Happiest Season

“The good thing about being different is that no one expects you to be like them”

— Ellie Chu, The Half Of It

"When I'm with Brittany, I finally understand what people are talking about when they talk about love. I've tried so hard to push this feeling away, and keep it locked inside, but every day just feels like a war. I walk around so mad at the world, but I'm really just fighting with myself. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm just too tired. I have to just be me."

“We’re standing here in Philadelphia, the, uh, City of Brotherly Love, the birthplace of freedom where the, uh, founding fathers authored the Declaration of Independence, and I don’t recall that glorious document saying anything about all straight men are created equal. I believe it says all men are created equal.”

— Joe Miller, Philadelphia

"Yes, I wear foundation. Yes, I live with a man. Yes, I'm a middle- aged fag. But I know who I am, Val. It took me twenty years to get here, and I'm not gonna let some idiot senator destroy that. F*** the senator, I don't give a damn what he thinks."

"Being gay is your thing. There are parts of it you have to go through alone. I hate that. As soon as you came out, you said, "Mom, I'm still me." I need you to hear this: You are still you, Simon. You are still the same son who I love to tease and who your father depends on for just about everything. And you're the same brother who always complements his sister on her food, even when it sucks. You get to exhale now, Simon. You get to be more you than you have been in... in a very long time. You deserve everything you want."

If they celebrate the holidays. What do they do if they celebrate? And what do they do if not? When she was alive, Rey's family celebrated traditional Filipino holiday traditions. Basically, their house was in full on Christmas mode from September to middle of January, and Christmas Eve was a big thing consisting of going to Midnight Mass and having their Noche Buena ("Good Night") feast while Christmas Day is spent with the whole family going to Misa de Gallo ("Rooster's Mass") and visiting her extended family. When she became a ghost, Rey couldn't do any of her traditions with her family, which she was devasted about. As a result, Julie, Flynn, and the boys tried to do some of the traditions with her so she wouldn't miss out on them. Reyna had never loved them as much as she did the first time they partook in that first Noche Buena

If they died today and turned into a ghost, what would they do in the afterlife? Haunt their loved ones? Waste away? Joke's on you, Rey's already a ghost haha! She became a ghost after being murdered while walking home from Julie's house one night, and her time in the afterlife is spent trying to figure out who killed her with help from Julie, Flynn, the boys and her bandmates while also killing it up on stage with Las Mariposas

Their favorite sitcom: Schitt's Creek (Rey LOVES Alexis and the growth she made throughout the seasons)

Their favorite drama movie: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Their current hyperfixation: Does creating lists of why Julie Molina and Luke Patterson, as well as Alex Mercer and Willie, are the OTPs count as a hyperfixation? Because, if so, then that’s it because my girl is crazy and doesn’t have much of a life as a ghost

Their favorite dish from when they were a child: Rey’s father makes an incredible adobo, which is a stew made with meat marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and spices. It’s still her favorite dish, even after she died

How they accessorize: Rey loves to accessorize by layering a couple different necklaces (she has a necklace shaped like the North Star that was gifted to her by her mother, a chain necklace with a Saturn pendant on it that Julie and Flynn gave to her for her birthday one year, and a choker-style bead necklace she made herself around her neck), putting butterfly clips in her hair (she and Julie both love butterflies), and her earrings are usually in the shape of stars (basically, her style is very astronomy-based usually with a splash of butterflies)

If they cry easily: Before she was a ghost, Rey didn’t cry all that often. However, after she became a ghost, the tears did not stop coming (and I mean, who could blame her? She was MURDERED, for god sakes)

What makes them feel secure: Being around her found family after becoming a ghost (Julie, Flynn, Luke, Reggie, Alex, Willie, and her band)

If they could live in another country besides the one they were born in, what would it be? The Philippines because Reyna loves her culture and would want to surround herself with it

3 non romantic duos:

1- Nell Jackson & Charles Devereux

Listen, they’re so chaotic in such a siblings sort of way (she says, having no siblings herself) that I just can’t help but love them as a duo. And because the brain rot is still very much present they are in my mind every now and then throughout the day.

2- Caitlyn Kiramman & Mel Medarda

They’re two bad bitches (and hot!), and so smart and strong (and hot!), both have gone through so much (and hot! wait…). I just think they’re neat and super bad ass and that they should be bffs.

3- Lena Luthor & Querl ‘Brainy’ Dox

These two are so special to me honestly, Brainy is so good for Lena. They’re both great friends for each other but I think that he’s just what Lena needed in a friend.

(Honorific mention of Beatrice and Camila from Warrior Nun cause they are so baby and such siblings as well)

A ship that might surprise others:

Okay so, I mostly don’t veer off from popular ships so this won’t be much but I’m rewatching The Handmaids Tale with my mom and I can’t help but feel like Serena Joy and June would make such a great enemies to lovers (if it weren’t for… well, yeah), I will not elaborate.

Last song:

Blood On White Satin by Skye Riley, Naomi Scott’s character in Smile 2. I don’t know what the songs in that movie have but I’m hooked, been listening to the EP a lot since I watched it.

Last film:

The wild robot. I cried so much, I’m a crier and it was a lot for my poor emotions. Loved it, tho.

Currently reading:

So, so many Supercorp fanfics. Like so many. Also procrastinating very much against my will on continuing to read Percy Jackson book 4 (battle of the labyrinth). Same for Lessons in chemistry.

Currently watching:

I just finished watching Arcane and everything hurts. I’m also rewatching Supergirl, Schitt’s Creek and Handmaid’s Tale. I’m about to start watching Teacup cause Yvonne Strahovski and Alice Kremelberg.

Currently consuming:

The tears of my readers (ie: me) as I’m wont to do

Currently craving:

Lil’ bit of choccy tbh

Also to fucking finish the wips I gotta finish so I can write new fics

Oh and an entire baggy of Jack Link’s original beef jerky.

[indestructibleheart]

petalwrites is now IndestructibleHeart

Hi, friends!

As some of you know, I've been through a lot of changes this year... and one of those changes involved a lot of thinky-thoughts about gender and coming to the realization that I'm demi-femme (or genderqueer; I use both terms). I started using she/they pronouns, which I'm really comfy with, but I've been thinking a lot lately about wanting a more gender-neutral name that represents all of me... and this is the safest place for me to explore that.

petal → stevie

As Charlie Spring would tell me, I don't owe anyone an explanation re: my gender or why I'm changing my name, but I actually want to open up a bit. I'm just going to do it under the cut below.

However, the tldr is this: I'm not a girl, but I'm not NOT a girl (hope that helps!!). I'm gonna start going by Stevie in online spaces because it better fits the person I'm becoming. I've changed my URL here, my ao3 username, and my nicknames on Discord. I love each and every one of you for cultivating a space where I can explore what being demi-femme means to me, since I'm not quite in a place to change my inherently feminine government name IRL.

cw for talk about both gender and losing my dad (spoiler alert — I didn't choose Stevie for Stevie Budd, as precious as she is to me):

The name "Petal" being pretty feminine is something that's been on my mind for a while now, and I thought pretty hard about what name felt most like me. When the name Stevie popped into my head, it was because of Schitt's Creek... but something else clicked right after.

It was my dad's name.

(Well, his name was Steve, anyway.)

And, while we had our differences over the years, he was the first person in my family to wholeheartedly support me when I came out. I told him I was a lesbian and he was literally like, "Cool. You want pizza for dinner, or...?" Yeah. Didn't bat an eye. Especially given that he passed in June, of all months, it feels like a fitting tribute to take his name with me on this journey.

For me, the gender spectrum is complicated. It's a place I'm still learning to navigate... and that's why I'm choosing a name that feels like it suits me wherever I happen to be on the slider at any given time. Having a place where I can make these kinds of changes and do some self-exploration is just... like... I don't have the words to articulate how much that means to me.

This community has been nothing but wonderful every step of the way here. Hell, this community half the reason I felt safe and comfortable enough to start doing all this self-reflection in the first place. So, thank you for that.

I know referring to me by a different name is gonna take some adjustment, but that's okay!

Just like I am both she and they, Petal is a part of me, too... It's just not all of me. I want to introduce myself with a name that fits like a comfy sweater, rather than a dress that I only wear on certain days. Y'know?

(And, really, this is more about me needing a space to safely explore some gender neutrality when I can't IRL than it is my being uncomfortable with the name Petal. So, don't stress about it.)

I hope that makes sense outside of my head... but I guess it's also okay if it doesn't.

🦇 The View From the Top Book Review 🦇

❓ #QOTD What's the last risk you took OR have you ever gone hiking? ❓ 🦇 Emily Janssen prefers playing it safe, still working at the inn her grandmothers own while dreaming of a day she can fully support herself with her art. Ambitious Diana Devlin is ready to take over as CEO of her family’s hotel chain when her father retires. Everything is going to plan until an unexpected run-in with an alluring artist on a mountainside throws Diana off course, resulting in one of the hottest nights either she or Emily have ever experienced. When Diana's plan goes off the rails, leading her to start her own company and buy Emily's grandmother's beloved inn, neither can forget their memorable—and steamy—night together, even when they're forced to play it professional. Will the view from the top be worth the climb, or will they both have farther to fall?

💜 Rachel Lacey always develops such well-balanced sapphic ships and realistic female protagonists. Emily and Diana are no exception. While Emily has fallen into a comfort zone (unknowingly allowing fears to take lead), Diana pushes past fear, allowing her goal-oriented mindset to take lead. While Emily has built a found family for herself, despite the lack of blood relatives, Diana is surrounded by blood yet still feels alone. Lacey also excels at creating queer found families in her novels. The Adventurers group is sweet, supportive, and gives Lacey the opportunity to expand this single story into a series for each member of their queer rainbow. Diana's relationship with her nephew is heartwarming and precious (hopefully he gets his own story in the future). I especially adored the contrast between Diana's ambitious mindset and anxiety, proving that we never really know how much a person is struggling (especially when they're so good at hiding it). The fall festival chapters make this a comforting read for autumn--I could have lived in those chapters (with a mug full of cider) forever.

💙 Crescent Falls, Vermont seems like the perfect setting for a small-town romance, and it IS. Unfortunately, we don't get to fall into the setting through descriptive language as much as I'd hoped. Even when Emily is painting the rich scenery around her or Diana is immersing herself in this new, charming town, the prose fails to draw us in so we're walking alongside them. That lackluster word choice fails to create the emotional entanglements and tension Rachel Lacey excels at in Stars Collide. Given that the author was sick with COVID and took a break while writing this, it's understandable. That emotion-based writing usually builds and builds until the FMCs can't contain themselves; until NOT touching is torturous. Unfortunately, there's a long stretch where the two FMCs are apart, which causes the story to stall. There's some longing, yes, but it doesn't grow to the point of impatience. I'm also a little disappointed that the characters didn't see the solution to their long-distance relationship sooner, though I do agree it presents a perfect ending. Also, the epilogue gave me total Schitt's Creek vibes, which I LOVED for them!

💬 Quotes ❝ Somehow she managed to look as sweet as the flowers she painted while simultaneously being one of the sexiest women Diana had ever seen. ❞ ❝ I’m damn good at wish fulfillment. ❞ ❝ “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” ❞ ❝ She was trying so damn hard to keep her attraction under wraps, and if she got tipsy and stumbled around a darkened pumpkin patch with Emily… well, she’d probably either end up kissing her or having a panic attack. ❞ ❝ "I see you weren’t only admiring my flannel for sapphic reasons." ❞ ❝ "Take a risk. Aim big. Fuck fear. What do you say?” ❞ ❝ Maybe she’d stood in one place for so long, she’d become rooted to the ground. She was terrified of what might happen if she set herself free. ❞ ❝ "Yesterday, I wanted someone to pick me for once. I wanted you to pick me." ❞ ❝ "You’re the first person to show me that I can let my guard down, I can be vulnerable, and you won’t take advantage. You let me be myself and appreciate me for exactly who I am— flaws and all— and I… I didn’t know how much I needed that until I found it.” ❞

Friends! Countrypeople! Townies! The farm witch community has gathered together again to bring a selection of favorites old and new for your reading pleasure.

Check out these fics, leave the authors some love, and enjoy your days in the ways that make you happiest.

==========

London, Love, and All it Entails (londonspirit) “Patrick and David’s long term, long distance love affair. Someone mentioned GOGO (Getting Over Getting Older) and this one came to mind: two people are destined to be together but they first have lots to do before they are both ready. I find it both comforting and inspiring.” 

Noble Beloved (AWorldOfDreams/@a-noble-dragon) “I love this story so much! The entire Dracotine series to be honest. It’s such a unique spin on our favorite boys and their romance. The longing is palpable. The sexy times are hot as hell. And, yes, Patrick is a dragon—a perfect, snippy, numbers guy of a dragon. 💙🐉🖤”

My misspent youth and my slow decline (@stereopticons) “Only 800 words but it hurts so good. Patrick, David, Stevie, and Alexis each get a devastating moment that ends on such a high. Loved this.”

People like that are the only people here (@likerealpeopledo-on-ao3) “Warm yet complex Brewer family vibes, a gigantic treehouse, and Patrick coming to terms with his past at Thanksgiving. Plus the Roses! Doing Rose things! It’s a fic that helped me see how Patrick developed the flawed communication style he’s perfected and how sublime David is as a supportive partner (housewarming not included).”

Shot glass of tears (@blackandwhiteandrose) “There's just so much good stuff packed in a short fic. David in NYC is a whole mood but the way he feels things and even changes over this little bit of time is crazy. it's sad but it's not. I love that it ends knowing right where they'll pick up in Schitt's Creek.” 

Too fast (@grapehyasynth) “I come back to this one all the time. David worrying about this date being wrong for him (mini-golf! who would think David would mesh well with mini-golf!) but realizing how much Patrick is trying, how hot he thinks Patrick is, and relaxing into it and letting himself be charmed while still agonizing over making sure he isn't messing things up with Patrick is so lovely.” 

The touch of your hand makes my pulse react (pandorasdaydream) “This new RPF manages to create a vivid world where Dan and Noah are together and it's a world with both love and tenderness but also melancholy and jealousy. Highly recommend if you were one of those fans who did a side eye at Dan showing up drunk and enamored at Noah's London show.”

True Blue series (ayes)" An inventive, sweet & hot early-relationship AU in which David’s escape with Roland’s truck after the events of S1 ends with an encounter with friendly and generous goat farmer Clint Brewer (and his family) instead of the cranky Mennonites…. So David meets Patrick even before he’s worked at the Blouse Barn. The story includes hilarious appearances by the Roses and Stevie, is told from David’s (very anxious) PoV, and is as insightful & funny & satisfying as we all deserve. The series comes in two parts; both are worth devouring!" 

Wild and Wooded (@lisamc-21) “This is everything I want in a non angsty AU fic. They meet, tease and banter, find a way to meet again, click boom, and a happy ending. Patrick is so earnest and wears his heart on his sleeve, not to mention those heart eyes. David knows that Patrick has something that he has never encountered before. He wants it, but history has him doubting. Great dialog, great intimate scenes, lovely story.”

[buckvrogers]

Get to know your mutuals: tag game

tagged by @musette22, thank you!!

What's the origin of your blog title: buckyrogers was taken and 'v' looks like 'y' so i went with buckvrogers lol

OTPs: the big one is stucky. i do like other ships but i'll feel obligated to list them all if i list one and then it'd just get too long lol

Favourite colour: green (sage, mint, emerald, army, olive)

Favourite game: as far as videogames go, it's been marvel rivals since it came out. are crosswords considered games? i do at least one a day, picked up the habit from my late grandpa, we used to do them together every sunday since i was a kid. i also really like monopoly and trivia.

Song stuck in your head: hsm2's gotta go my own way but only because i JUST sent @buckrogers a gif of it lol i haven't actually listened to hsm in so long.

Weirdest habit/trait: uhhhhhh

Hobbies: writing, reading, gaming, doing crosswords, watching tv, learning to cook better.

Something you're good at: checking in on the people i care about, i think? i try to be the type of friend i'd like to have. i'm also actually fairly good at acting and i sometimes still regret not pursuing it as a career when i think about all the what ifs, but i consciously chose a more stable/safer path. i also used to be very good at singing when i was younger and sang at disney's candlelight with my choir but i quit my lessons, stopped practicing and smoked for a little over a decade (i've since quit) so my voice just isn't what it used to be.

Something you're bad at: math (dyscalculia ayooo), having balance (i'm always losing mine even when i'm just standing and it's always been that way), aiming in video games, cooking but i've learned more since i got married and am still learning - my mom used to be a pastry chef and my grandma used to be a chef. we facetime and they've both been teaching me everything i refused to learn when i was younger because i just didn't like cooking. my mother-in-law's taught me plenty as well.

Something you love: my family, my friends, my pets, my body, my home, my things, the food in my fridge, the bed i sleep in, the warm water when i shower, my job, my husband's job, etc. i may not always love these things but i do always try to practice gratitude, it grounds me and reminds me of all that i have to be thankful for instead of wasting time and energy on the negatives. some days i fail at this.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: steve and/or bucky, marvel in general, symbolism in film, hidden meanings and character analysis stuff.

Something you hate: how hateful and unkind people can be. also my anxiety.

Something you collect: marvel collectibles, i used to collect pins and keychains but had to leave them behind after a move.

Something you forget: words. i was born in brazil and moved to the us when i was 4, then back to brazil, then back to the us, then back to brazil for college, then back to the us lol i learned portuguese and english at the same time, they're both actively running in my brain and i forget words in both languages daily.

Favourite movie / show: some of my favorite movies are catws, la la land, the shining, the invisible man, hp movies // shows i love and often rewatch: defending jacob, hannibal, dexter, the fall, himym, modern family, friends, schitt's creek, the haunting of hill house.

Favourite food: brazilian stroganoff and buddha bowls.

Favourite animal: all animals are great!

What were you like as a child: bossy, opinionated, stubborn, responsible, mouthy lol i think i've grown and learned a lot in many ways, i've certainly changed a lot, but i do sometimes wish i was a little more like the strong and ambitious girl i used to be.

If you could change any detail about your life right now, what would it be: i wouldn't mind a significant raise lol

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet? my brother. he's still alive and we're close emotionally, but not physically and not like we were as teenagers. a tough part about becoming an adult, getting married, moving far away etc, was accepting that our relationship had to change.

tagging: anyone who sees this and feels like doing it!

Alexis runs a fingertip from Stevie’s collarbone down her chest until it brushes under the lace edge of the costume slip’s bodice. “You’re sweaty, Ms. Bowles.” Stevie isn’t that sweaty, but she’s not about to derail this game. She says, “You know how I am with dancing.” “Sweat’s bad for silk. You should take it off.”

Getting clarity [david/patrick, G, 3,691] by JessX2231

The more time they spent together, the more Patrick couldn’t ignore that perhaps the feelings he had for David were more than just business partner chemistry and admiration for a brilliant business model. He liked this guy. And he didn’t quite know how to move forward with that. So he hiked.

Six Pounds, Ten Ounces [david/patrick, G, 2,685] by @erandri

“Have you ever thought about having kids of your own?” David asks. “Yeah. Yeah, i’ve thought about it,” Patrick's voice is calm and measured like he doesn’t want to spook David, “I love the life that we have, you and the store, that’s all I need to be happy… but I do like the idea of us raising a kid together. Have you ever thought about us having kids?” Patrick asks quietly like he already knows the answer.

Through Time [david/patrick, T, 20,442] by @mostlyinthemorning

I Bleed My Heart Out On This Paper [david/patrick, G, 1,276] by @blackandwhiteandrose

"David reached into his black overnight bag and snagged his journal, checking to make sure his favorite pen was still held in the pages between the leather binding. He put his pen to the paper, but with all the thoughts jumbled around in his head, he barely knew where to start. He glanced at the last entry – it was about Patrick, of course. What had started as a written account of the travesty of his life post-fortune had taken a quick turn when Patrick had arrived."

Quarantine, But Then Make it Fashion [david/patrick, T, 4,501] by @leopxld-fitz

They've been in quarantine for two weeks, and David seems more stressed about Alexis being in New York every day. When Patrick catches David wearing sweatpants around the house, he knows something has to change.

the rest of you, the best of you, honey belongs to me [david/patrick, E, 3,444] by HmmAboldclaim

David and Patrick have fun in the back room. Someone wants to watch. Just watch. Alternating POV which I suck at. Jake, a lot of David, a little Patrick POV. Just some word vomit about my post S6 feelings. It's my first David and Patrick story as I usually stick to rpf (come visit me in the rpf tag and read my fun stories).

When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns [david/patrick, M, 3,376] by @kiwiana-writes

David whirls to face Stevie, phone still in hand. “A couple who got divorced? Stevie, what the fuck did you say to them?” “I didn’t say that!” She raises her hands, backing away from David’s murderous glare. “I specifically said that you’d opened the store with your husband! And then I said something about how even as your relationship status changed the business had stayed strong, and—” She cuts herself off, clapping her hand over her mouth as both David and Patrick stare at her, incredulous. “Oh, fuck.”

why don't we full on pretend [david/patrick, T, 12,587] by @swiftlythebest

“Okay, if we’re going to do this, we need to set up some ground rules.” David had just turned the store’s sign to closed as Patrick began to deal with the cash register. At David’s declaration, he looked up, confused. “Hate to break it to you David, but we’ve been running this store together for a while now. It may be a bit late to retroactively lay out a bunch of rules.” David rolled his eyes and made his way to stand opposite Patrick, the counter between them. “I meant our whole fake dating thing. For the apartment discount.” Or the fake dating/roommates/mutual pining fic no one asked for, but I wrote anyway.

Intro Post ✨

Hi and welcome to the chaos that is my tumblr. I decided to make a pinned intro post, for the same reasons I do most things, just because.

I’m Anna (she/they), I’m 30 and I write fanfic or as some call it, ✨Quality Literature✨ Due to some adult themes in my writing, some things on my blog are only suitable for those 18+.

My Fanfic Masterlist

Ask me about my Fics/the Director's Cut!

A few things to know about me:

I'm queer and married. I don't share a lot about my partner or my private life because I value their privacy but they exist. We own 2 kitties, a calico and a siamese.

I have ADHD - predominately inattentive type. I was diagnosed recently but it was something I always suspected of myself.

I write, both fanfiction and OC. My hyperfixation usually decides what I'm writing, and I haven't touched my OC content in literal years. Hoping to change that one day 😅

I also rotate through fandoms, see I have ADHD lol. I always consider myself a part of a fandom even if I'm not actively following/engaging with/creating content. Currently, Hogan's Heroes has a chokehold on me and I'm shipping Hogan/Klink (Klogan). Crackship Hochstetter/Hogan, for which I coined the name StettiHo, also has a chokehold on me (heh) and is featured heavily on my side blog: Stetti-Ho

I also follow Kim Possible, Once Upon a Time, M*A*S*H, Stranger Things, Schitt’s Creek, Kevin Can Fuck Himself, just to name a few.

My writing is smut-heavy, you have been warned. It is pretty queer too (m/m). Feel free to check out my Ao3 😊 (again, 18+ due to the mentioned smut).

I post/reblog mostly about having ADHD and writing, with the occasional rb of fandom content.

The More You Know

I swallow the sound (and it swallows me whole)

People like that are the only people here

Such Great Heights

Some Days are Diamonds

Do you respond to comments?

Yes, both literally and figuratively. I try to write a response to everyone but I’ve noticed a pattern recently where I drop off at the end of posting because I have a hard time feeling finished and if I leave some comments unanswered, I never have to say goodbye to a story. Figuratively, comments water my crops and keep me nourished. Without them, my writing brain withers.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Probably a Mindy Project joint I wrote with @alittlenutjob where Mindy and Danny don’t end up together but Mindy and Peter do.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Probably I swallow the sound, which some people call the stroke fic. No spoilers, but the ending is one of my faves, mostly because I was able to write a joke in it that someone I deeply admire told me was Dan Levy show quality.

Do you get hate on fics?

Not so far, and let’s please not take that as an invitation lol.

Do you write smut?

Yes.

Craziest crossover

I can’t say I’ve committed to a crossover.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not unless podfic counts as a translation.

Have you ever cowritten a fic?

Yes, multiple times with multiple peeps. I love that process and I think I’m a decent collaborator because people offer to do it again 😂.

All time favourite ship?

David and Patrick will forever float my boat.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Aw, poor Mafia!Pat and accidental marriage in Vegas.

What are your writing strengths?

Emotional arcs, insight into behaviors, wit, warmth, and copious amounts of research to get details right.

What are your writing weaknesses?

My own self-doubt and quickly running out of words to describe kissing and touching. I would love to write smut in an uninhibited manner, but repression!

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

If it serves a purpose. I’ve never needed to use it, but I would.

First fandom you’ve written in?

The Mindy Project was the first I ever posted but I wrote fanfic as a kid, not knowing it was fanfic. Nor fandom lol. We shan’t speak of it.

Favourite fic you’ve written?

I would love to say they’re all my children and I can’t choose between them, but ackkkk, I don’t know. I’m happy to have produced all of them and there are none I’d take back or orphan. Some were easier to write than others. Fine! They’re all my children! Don’t make me Sophie’s Choice it!

Tagging @beyondxmeasure @jesterlesbian @sullymygoodname @ramonaflow @dinnfameron @alittlenutjob and anyone else who wants to do it!

3, 7, & 8 for the happy fic writer asks!

3. Have you received any bookmark notes? Which is your favorite and why?

Absolutely! Just a few of my many faves include: the person who bookmarked fae prince Henry with the note "Alex is a peasant boy and Henry is a faerie who is very much into consent" which is both completely true and just such a hilarious summary of that fic. So, so many incredible bookmark notes on the actor AU that made me weep, and one hilarious one that said something about printing it on papyrus and handing it down to their children—I hope desperately that that person discovers ficbinding. The Schitt's Creek pole dancing/pole instructor AU has one that's like "the concept that shouldn't work as well as it does". So, so many more, probably, but those are the ones that stick out.

7. What do you love most about being a fic writer for your fandom?

I started rambling about the fic community as a whole and then I realised this question specifies "being a fic WRITER" so I'm pulling it back lol. So: I love how much depth and richness there is to the RWRB characters which gives me so much to explore as a writer. I used to be someone who really struggled writing full AUs, but I find that I have a really good sense of what makes these characters who they are and so whether I'm writing them in college, as actors, as fae princes and peasants... whatever it is, I'm still writing THEM. And that's a really lovely feeling as a writer.

8. Talk about any friends/connections you've made as a fic writer.

God where the fuck do I START. This is gonna be like an Oscars speech where I inevitably forget some really important fucking people lmao. @ships-to-sail my dream team collaborator and someone I will fight DoorDash at 3am to send soup to their house when they're sick lol. @celeritas2997 was the first person to reach out privately when I started writing RWRB—I'd only interacted with her in the comment section of my fics before that and now she's a very dear friend. @clottedcreamfudge is someone I just clicked with immediately and now talking to her bookends most days (timezones are a scam lol). I went to Disneyland and Noah Reid with @nontoxic-writes @lilythesilly @reginahalliwell a few months ago and it was AMAZING. @minerforaheartofgold we discovered very early in our shared Schitt's Creek space that Aotearoa is SMALL and there was one hell of a venn diagram overlap between our friends, and now they're someone I'll always go out of my way to see when we're in the same part of NZ (and go to Harry Styles with).

But also like... all y'all? Anyone I've ever had a back and forth with in the comments section, flailed in the reblog tags with, DMed... fandom is community, I'll bang this drum until the drum breaks, and every single one of you makes my little corner of this community better.

What if Good Omens has a "sad" ending?

I am pretty sure Neil Gaiman has said specifically that it doesn't?

I mean I doubt it will. What do you consider a "sad" ending anyway? Because people have different views on that.

I think the ending is pretty much what we know - that they will end up living together in a cottage in the South Downs. Thats the ending Neil revealled years ago before he ever assumed there would be a TV show, let alone one that would give him the chance to adapt the unwritten sequel, otherwise I doubt he would have told fans about the South Downs all those years ago. But he did and now he kinda has to follow through I think.

I think it would be a little bit sad in a bittersweet way if for example, due to a series of events Crowley and Aziraphale both were given the choice to be human (look its a theme I've loved since SPN and I'm still reeling from the Barbie movie and all the Sandman endgame spec so its on my mind). A human ending for them would be interesting, but in a sense it would also be sad because it would mean they would both one day die (omg now im thinking about the song Follow You Into The Dark and getting emotional) but it would be a happy ending as well as a sad one.

The other happier alternative is that they manage to fix heaven and hell and get to officially retire to live out the rest of their long existence on Earth together still as immortal beings with certain miraculous powers but with no affiliation to either heaven or hell until the heat death of the universe.

You know suddenly I'm struck by that harrowing Neil Gaiman line from The Sandman. I'm paraphrasing but its basically:

"It's only a happy ending because you know when to stop. Otherwise all stories end in death."

But anyway, the second option seems to fit AziraCrow more because I don't think either of them has expressed a desire to be human. They enjoy human things, but also very much enjoy the comforts of immortality and the fact they can perform convenient miracles.

Also, just due to the genre of the show, the ending is likely to be happy. Comedies are supposed to have happy endings. Ending them on a downer defeats the point of them being comedies. Good Omens is a Fantasy Comedy show. Its not a drama. Its not gonna pull a Supernatural on us. Now comedies can certainly have bittersweet or deeply emotional endings - just look at the finale of The Good Place - which to this day I fully believe is the best ending to a show I have ever seen. The Schitt's Creek ending is equally bittersweet. Both these shows understood the assignment in that they were able to create the right amount of catharsis and emotion in the audience that left us feeling both happy, sad, and satisifed.

Few shows pull that off, but I have faith that Good Omens will be one of them.
