#elliot is a dork

[crab-in-elliotts-shirt-pocket]

The things I do for this little silly bean…

[erial-c]

i've grown to laooovv elliott . he's a bit like guy but less hyper and more magical

[pastelpeterparkerr]

Selkie!Elliott HCs

No one asked, but yet y'all shall receive, woot, let's get it, this is my first in-depth one of these so plz be nice lol. There are multiple versions of this that I've thought about so there are a few ways this could go down. Not proofread or anything so yeah

angst, selkie!elliott x farmer, farmer with magical knowledge, fem farmer, maybe some fluff but idk, new relationship, friends to lovers

VERSION 1

So the farmer and Elliott's friendship progresses as normal until

They're at the Saloon one night

Willy is telling fishing stories and talking about things he's seen around the beach recently

"Aye, and then there was a seal, which was odd since they don't swim here until winter!"

But it's early summer

The farmer handwaves this until she notices Elliott get anxious

Elliott is defensive and chugs his drink, leaving soon after

Worried, the farmer follows him out of the Saloon

He doesn't open up to her about being a selkie, but how could he?

She's the farmer, she's been one of the friendliest people he's met in Pelican Town and definitely one of his closest friends

(Also he's like... super into her)

What if she thinks he's weird, at best, or a monster, at worst?

Elliott's rationale for not telling anyone is that being a selkie isn't really who he is

Like, that's just not how he defines himself. He is a writer, a pianist, and maybe even a half-decent ballroom dancer. But a selkie is just what he is.

Also he's not confident that other humans would still associate with him if they knew his secret.

But the farmer runs up to him and asks what's wrong

"Nothing to worry about, just tired from writing all day"

She can tell he's lying. He brushes his hair behind his ear more often when he's upset, but she takes him at his word

A few nights later, the farmer is reading about magic on the beach from some books the Wizard lets her borrow. It's crazy late out too, maybe around 3 AM

She just likes it because it's quiet

She hears Elliott's cabin door open and he sneaks onto the beach with a fluffy coat before freezing upon seeing her

"I-I was just... " Elliott looks at the sealskin coat in his hand and back to her, sighing. Lying is futile and it's clear he was caught.

The farmer giggles, closing her book. "I won't tell if you won't tell... "

Elliott blushes, whispering to her. "But you don't think I'm... a monster? Or at least... bizarre?"

The farmer laughs. "Of course, you're bizarre! That's why I like hanging out with you!"

After this, Elliott opens up to the farmer.

There are tears involved too, duh

Overall, they're way closer because of this

Working towards a romance if you catch my drift

This is the less dramatic version, obviously

VERSION 2

This is the dramatic version, sorry not sorry

So Elliott and the farmer's relationship progresses normally with LOTS of flirting on the farmer's part

Side note that the farmer still doesn't know Elliott is a selkie in this version

Elliott feels awkward flirting IRL so he holds back quite a bit, although he still really likes the farmer

Somehow, the farmer flirts her way into a date with him and they decide on a brunch picnic on the beach. At 9:30 AM, the farmer is to meet Elliott at his cabin and they'll have a picnic

HOWEVER Elliott feels the urge to change into his seal form the night before

When that happens, he's like... a literal seal so he loses track of time easily

So he doesn't answer the door, and she's pissed, rightfully so

She doesn't know he's in the ocean doing selkie things

He changes back a few hours after the date and realizes what time it is

Poor guy FREAKS OUT, he feels terrible

Because he really likes the farmer, you know?

He ends up rushing over to the farm with a bouquet of fairy roses, the farmer's favorite

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, [Farmer]! I have no excuse! I didn't mean to stand you up. In fact, I meant quite the opposite!"

The farmer glares at him, quite hurt. "So where were you anyways?"

Elliott is tired of keeping secrets, especially from her

So he tells her he's a selkie

At first, the farmer doesn't believe him, but that night, he shows her

The way the farmer's jaw drops

She has SO MANY questions

After answering all of them, Elliott sighs, "So I suppose you're not interested anymore, especially since I stood you up this morning"

Poor guy has so much self-doubt :(

The farmer smiles, clearly teasing him, "I suppose I'll be able to overlook this morning's blunder if you plan another date..."

Elliott beams and hugs her

He takes a risk and kisses her on the cheek too. If he already put all his cards on the table, he might as well go all in.

SVU - 1x05

[asheoninactive]

I’ve come to realize my harvest moon/story of season/time factory type whenever I play these games is just “your grandmother would probably approve of them”

[booneysboyfie]

Got some dialogue from Elliot I’ve never seen before and feel in love with him all over again

[brunhielda]

This is the sort of crossover I LIVE for.

Harrison would be so OFFENDED by the “magic and tech don’t mix” thing.

Parker would somehow make it onto castle grounds despite the fact she shouldn’t be able to see it.

Sophie would be the only one even trying to defend the idea of boarding school, but would still agree it wasn’t for thier Evan.

They would all live in Bobble’s Bog and demand weekly visits.

Even Sophie can’t defend the absurdity that is Bobble’s Bog. But thier boy is there. So there they make base.

Nathan is almost overwhelmed (with glee) with the sheer amount of assholes to screw over there are in the Wizarding world, and how damn EASY it would be.

Okay, directly related to my last post, I am now fixating on the SPEED and INTENSITY with which the Leverage Polycule would adopt Evan Kelmp after maybe 30 minutes of hearing this kid's story.

Evan: I've been very... unloved.

Elliot: Kid, c'mere. Listen to me. Look at me when I'm talking to you. Look me in the eyes. I want you to know that stops today.

[quitealotofsodapop]

Just a funny idea;

Since I doubt Pierre's stocks that kinda stuff; Shane and Harvey both know who in Pelican Town are currently doing dirty business based on purchases at Joja Mart and/or requests from the clinic.

Harvey obvs never reveals who asks for what - patient confidentiality after all. But Shane def has had to look more than one villager in the eyes while on register duties and ring up their basket of cheap booze and "protection".

He bumped into Marnie one rainy Saturday when he was called in on a day off. That was how he learned that his aunt was currently boinking somebody in town. He needed a good few rounds of beers after work to quell his horror.

Shane is trying to sus out *who* it is though, as it isn't like his aunt to be so tight-lipped and embarassed about something. Sam and Abigail have helped him draft a "Suspect's List" based on who comes in for what at Joja Mart and Pierre's.

Sam suspects Gus the Barman since he's such a plump, happy person like Marnie. Similar vibes ya know?

Abigail is convinced its Marlon the Adventurer - eye-patch, beard, and a sword? Total babe magnet.

Shane personally is placing his bets on someone whos is a lot younger than Marnie - hence the embarassment. He has shot many a threatening look at Elliot (romantic seaside poet? any woman would swoon) and even Harvey himself (adorable dork with a mustache).

Eventually it becomes a huge topic of discussion that Friday evening at the Saloon and a bunch of the younger townsfolk are *subtley* offering their own theories.

Jas, holding a cola: "Are you guys trying to solve a mystery?" Leah: "I don't think this is a mystery you'd be interested in Jas..." Sam: "Yeah. The mystery of who's in love with your aunt Marnie." Jas: "I went into Aunt Marnie's room one morning to find some hair ties and Mayor Lewis was hiding under the bed..." All within earshot at the saloon: (⊙_⊙) Shane: "He was what?"

[writer-by-the-sea]

Can I ask for a gender neutral drabble request about farmer feeling insecure and asking Elliott if he thinks they’re sexy and he admits to thinking about them when he touches himself? 🥺

“Have you ever just felt so unattractive that you don’t even think a turtle would be interested in you?”

Elliot startled beside me, I forgot that we hadn’t spoken in a few minutes… Or was it more than an hour now? I wasn’t sure. We would often hang out at the beach together after Elliott finished his yoga for the day. I’ve even joined him a few times, but honestly I stretch enough getting eggs out from under the chickens little bums that I couldn’t bare to do one more damn ‘triangle downward pose’ even if I wanted to.

“In your defense,” Elliot began. “I don’t believe turtles can be sexually attracted to humans.”

I snorted. Of course he would reply with the facts. And it was a silly question to begin with, the man looked like a bronze god sitting next to me. Shirtless and wearing those god damn red shorts that have me drooling in my sleep. “Never mind,” I replied with a laugh. “It was a dumb question—“

“No, it wasn’t.” Elliott’s voice was firm as he stared at me, his frown actually making me feel bad for even asking. “And, for the record, you’re very good looking.”

Um.

What?

I said nothing and just stared back at him, his eyes soft and caring as he gazed back at me. He had a single elbow propped on his knee, smiling now as he watched me— waiting for me to say something, anything in reply.

“I think about you,” Elliot said before I could manage to mumble out literally anything. “As in, when I’m in bed, or in the shower…” He paused, pressing his lips together as he thought to himself. “In the bathroom at the pub once, it was the day you walked in after being at the mines and the monsters tore half your clothes off...”

Hang on.

WHAT.

I held my hand up, stopping him from continuing and shook my head as I tried to process what the hell he was saying. He thought of me? In the shower? In bed? At the pub? What the hell did that even mean—

“I cum so easily when I think of you.”

Well there’s my answer.

Elliott was so relaxed as he spoke, shrugging after he just dropped a bomb on me as if it was nothing at all. “You’re very good looking, I never saw myself fantasying about the only farmer in town. However, it’s become a daily event now.”

“Elliott,” I paused. How does one even reply to this? Sure, the question I asked may have been a been asinine— but! To reply, and to reply so causally. “Ar you— are you saying to jerk off to me?”

“Everyday, yes.”

I dropped myself into the sand, uncaring anymore about the hot sand as it burned the back of my neck and arms, my hair was going to be a real bitch to wash later but I couldn’t even think about that right now. Elliott, the hottest guy in town, who writes poems and short stories with ease, who does yoga on the beach, who laughs with me at Gus’ pub, who is actually a dork that’s obsessed with Star Wars—

Jerks off to me.

Every. Single. Day.

Elliott laid down beside me on his side, worry painted all over his gorgeous face. “Farmer? Do you want me to stop?”

I laughed, just amazed at the entire situation. “No, you don’t… no.”

“Thank goodness,” Elliot said with a sigh and rolled to his back. “I don’t think I would have been able to stop. Especially after today.”

“Elliott,” I said and sat up, looking down at him with narrowed eyes. “What on earth would have happened today that would make it any harder to stop?”

“Well—“

I gestured down to myself. “I stink like chickens, my jeans were so beat up I cut them into shorts, I’m wearing an old hole filled white tank top— none of this,” I took a beat to gesture to myself one again. “Would give you the material needed to jerk off to.”

“Your shirt is absolutely soaked from the swim you took earlier, I can see your nipples.”

….

I looked down and groaned. “Elliot!”

“They’re very sexy nipples.”

And I could die.

[lukesunbornn]

still thinking about how elliot & luke are both entirely convinced the whole world is in love with their boyfriend. and also are both entirely right. elliot is funny & attractive & interesting & flirtatious & smart & a hero. luke is ALSO funny & attractive & interesting & smart & a hero. like those are the two most desirable men in the border camp tbh like they both catch your eye immediately and take up every room they walk into. and the best part is both of them think they personally are unloveable and nobody would ever want to date them because they’re not as cool as the other. dorks

[vegaly-art]

Sunshine (Penelope) and Elliot let's goooo!!!! - Penelope (She/Her) is Greek, and really loves a lot of her culture's style, often buying cool hair pieces, rings, and whatnot. Also she's a Helenist, with Apollo, Ares, and Hermes as her main patrons :). I fucking love how warm her design turned out I must say. Also she does have a decent amount of scarring from her car accident, mostly being burns, but she doesn't really mind anymore. She wants to express herself, and how people look at her be damned!! >:333. She is also pretty close friends with Aaron and his partner, though they've never met irl. She has been on call with them a bunch thanks to Elliot though. - Elliot's Canadian, and also an absolute 90s and 80s dork. He loves the colors, all the wild patterns, old bowling alleys and nights outside playing hide and seek well past the time the sun set, and all that. He is so nostalgic and it shows with how he dresses. He mostly gets recreations (since he can afford it) but he does occasionally get vintage stuff. And a lot of hand-me-downs from Aaron from when he went through a slightly more 'alternative' phase back in high school. Aaron was always bigger of the two so his old clothes still fit Elliot great. Also... he hates hoods. If he gets a jacket with a hood he would not be caught dead wearing it. Hats? Great. Amazing. Perfect. Hoods? Kill him now.

[ellisupremelady]

That part in Elliot's story where he was hanging out with Philip and Addison and apparently girls were checking out Addison but not Elliot, which is wild to me because Elliot mogs tf out of Addison! Like Elliot I am so sorry, like what weird universe were u living in where that dork with blocks for eyebrows and less chiseled face pulls but not you??? It fills me with bewilderment to this day no wonder he said his world was twisted

Flowers Can Grow in Concrete C16

She called you mom~! She called you mom~! She called you mom~! She called you mom~! She called-Shut it! I know! I don’t need you to tell me! She told me that, like, 8 hours ago!

V was sitting on the bed, watching N and Uzi play their little chase game. They called it ‘Dash’ for some reason. V didn’t care all that much.

She could hear the storm outside. Its winds sounded like whispers and howls of the dead, like breathing, yawning, a heart beating.

V and N had been taking turns to get oil, not wanting to run too low.

N was running to V, Uzi moved out of the way, N passed her. You know what? V smiled.

She deployed her wings, and flew behind N. He wasn’t going fast.

N passed Uzi, and then she grabbed Uzi and lifted her up into the sky. Uzi squealed.

“Uzi?! Uzi!? UZI!” N ran around before looking up. Now. NOOOOOO WHY.

V tossed Uzi up and didn’t catch her. She fell screaming.

V glided down to the ground catching Uzi in her arms. Uzi clung to her like a koala.

“V! You're as mad as a cut snake! Why would you do that!?”

“Where did you learn that?” V knew where he learned it from, it was from the elliots. They used a mix of Australian and old English phrases and sayings. He just hadn’t said any so she thought he had lost that little bit of him.

“I don't know, But that’s not important right now!” N was pointing a finger at her, a scowl painted his face. 

V sighed and lowered herself to the floor, Uzi was still clinging to her, but was looking around.

“V if you weren't fast enough Uzi would have died!” N was speaking frantically. Worry glued to his face.

“She didn’t die, and I have done it countless times before!” She then directed her attention to Uzi. “Are you alright?”

Uzi sniffled “Y-Yea, I’m okay…” Uzi loosed her grip on V

V in a softer tone spoke “See? She’s fine, but if it will make you feel better, I won’t do it…”

“Thank yo-” N started to be less tense before V interjected.

“-To a certain degree!” V cackled madly and flew up to her nest with Uzi.

“V!” N called, deploying his wings for flight. Dork, You little lovable dork… Oh aren’t you clever, bet you think so.

—————

“Come on, time for bed ankle biter.” V said begrudgingly

“Nooooooooo! No! No! No! NoNoNoNo!” Uzi was run around the pod to V’s annoyance.

“Small fry you need sleep. End of story.”

“Nooooooo! Why me? I bet you're going to stay up late!”

“I’m not really, you drain all the energy I have.”

“Then can you sleep with me?” Uzi looked as sly as a fox

“If I do, will you go to sleep?”

“Yes.” Uzi put her hands on her hips.

“Fine. I will.” V scowled. You act like I won’t, I've done it before, what would change it now.

“Yay! I’ll go tell N!” Wait what? Oh, OH. Luzer. I knew what was going to happen. Get a rope and make a noose. 

As Uzi walked to the bed V flew ahead and landed. N was there fluffing the pillows.

“N! N! V’s going to be with us tonight!” V gave N a ‘End my suffering’ kind of look and N chuckled.

“Okay Z! You pick out a book and I’ll read it to you!”

Uzi looked at the books and she responded “V can you read? You’ve never read to me before!”

“Fine… I’ll read.” Uzi gave her a book. The cover had a blue background, tall green grass that had some pink flowers at the top, in the grass were two white bunnies, a mom and a baby.

The 3 of them laid down on the bed, Uzi in the middle, V on her right, N on her left.

As she read, she felt calmer, she was doing something she loved.

“Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away. So he said to his mother, “I am running away.” 

“If you run away,” said his mother, “I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.”” V read. I remember this book, one of the few kid’s books I loved.

After some time V had finished the book.

“I’ll go put it back!” N volunteered.

“I’m going to run away!”  Uzi said in a cheery tone, repeating after the book.

“Then I’ll fly after you~.” V calmly replied.

“Thank you mom,” Uzi whispered loudly. V froze a bit.

As N got up V felt something grab her arm. What is tha- Oh it’s Uzi.

Uzi nuzzled her head against V’s arm. N slipped back into the bed, readjusting the thin sheet that laid atop them.

“Good night!” N smiled.

“Night~.” V said, shuffling till she was comfortable.

"V one more book please” said with her puppy face

“Sorry sweet tea, no, but we can tomorrow, okay?”

“Aw man.” Uzi lightly kicked V.

“Oi! No! What did we tell you about kicking others?”

“Don’t kick other drones unless they are being meany heads Uzi softy said

“Bingo. Now it's time to sleep.”

As the storm quietly raged outside, they rested with each other's presents. V felt safe, secure, home.

—————

Thunder cracked outside the spire, hail fell down. nothing new to them, except Uzi. 

Normally storms pass them without them going through the storm’s eye, the strongest part. The spire always survived, but after one they always improved it, not wanting their home to collapse.

V could hear the storm’s soft wail… but as V’s eyes opened she realized that the cries were coming from Uzi.

V moved her arm to where Uzi could hold it, she latched on. V took her free hand and combed through Uzi’s hair.

One of the things the drones had programmed into them was the ability to affect others emotions. Caretakers could calm others, Bartenders/Waiters could make others cherry, And Paperwork/Construction could remind others of their tasks.

V hated to use it, but now seemed like the right time. Only use it as a tool to help, not control.

“Shhhh, You're ok, I’m right here, you're safe,” V repeated to Uzi over and over till she was only whimpering. V moved her hand to Uzi’s back and rubbed it.

N grogley raised his head up. 

“Everything okay?” N’s voice was scratchy.

“Yeah, storm just scared her, got her to calm down tho.”

“Mmmmh” N was already falling back to sleep. He draped his arm around them and started to rub her back. Helphelphelphelphelphelp! What do I do! AAGAGAGAGRGRGRGGRARAG! Calm down, Jeez, he’s just being affectionate. 

V slowly died on the inside from N and Uzi’s combined affection. Uzi shuffled closer to her, rubbing her head against V’s chin. N on the other hand had curled his tail around her leg and laced their fingers together. She tried to pull away, but N held tight.

Accept it, It’s your fate lol. Di-Uh-Wh-Ha-Aggggh!

V somehow was able to fall asleep, and not even a second later she leaned into Uzi, and intertwined her tail with N’s before wrapping around his leg.

🦋Life Is Strange: General Headcanons

🦋 just some pretty normal headcanons

🐺 GN!Reader, no specific pronouns are mentioned!

🦋 warnings: dorky stuff, bad mental health and swearing.

🎧A/N: Been super busy lately, thanks for the loads of support though guys! Gonna be writing more for Skip because nobody's writing for him and he's actually REALLY attractive??

🦋Chloe Price:

📄It's obvious that Chloe literally adores punk rock and possibly heavy metal music. She's also a HUGE PissHead fan, from listening to Skip's demo to then asking if she can hear more of his music.

🖤She doesn't wanna admit it but she definitely sees Skip as an older brother figure, they're basically family and they have such a sweet bond together.

📄Chloe and Steph are actually pretty close in Before The Storm, from how Steph asks Chloe for permission to ask Rachel out and how she's okay with Chloe venting to her if she wanted to.

🖤Her favourite songs are Nothing Wrong - Pisshead and Everything Reminds Me Of Her - Elliot Smith. (those are all literally my favourite songs as well..oops)

📄She is actually secretly a bit of nerd, like not a huge nerd but she's played Dungeons & Dragons multiple times with Steph and Mikey before and after Episode 1.

🖤Her favourite animal is the Palos Verdes Blue butterfly, since a blue butterfly is her spirit animal but she also really likes Tiger Sharks and 100% thinks she could take them in a fight.

📄She sucks ass at cooking and Joyce has tried to teach her before but she gets bored so easily.

🖤When she got her skull tattoo, she teared up and nearly started sobbing but told everyone she knows that she was totally 100% cool + badass during it.

(hella pissed about the zero skip gifs and lack of fanfiction, he's literally so attractive?? wtf)

🎤 Skip Matthews:

📄He secretly flips people off behind their back as they walk away if they've pissed him off, will totally freak out then switch to standing still and laughing awkwardly if they turn around.

🖤Listens to Taylor Swift but apart from that he's a huge punk rock + heavy metal fan.

📄Okay now, Skip is a HUGE horror game nerd. I'm talkin' Outlast, Resident Evil, Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Silent Hill.

🖤He can cook, okay?! He doesn't look like your average chef but he can definitely serve up some good fucking food.

📄Talks shit about anyone he doesn't like with you, if you guys are together of course or really good friends, he's like Victoria Chase sometimes because oh my god is he a bitch.

🖤Apart from listening to music, he'll also listen to urban legends podcasts on his way to work.

📄Skip comes from a pretty normal family in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado with two older sisters and a younger brother.

🖤(He's such a dork, I love him.) He's also pretty into fishing and is constantly taking trips for his band when he has to.

📄His favourite animal is the Polar Bear, like yeah he'd piss himself if he ever saw one in real life but he thinks they're pretty cute online instead of them being outside his door ready to beat his ass.

🍂Kate Marsh:

📄She's very religious but also very supportive. She just wants to settle down with someone, falling in love + possibly starting a family together, sitting on the porch swing in the afternoon while drinking tea/coffee side by side.

🖤Can Kate cook? Yes, she could totally make a living out of her talent but she just isn't into that for a career.

📄She never really has anything bad to say about anyone, she doesn't believe in being mean to other people because that just isn't in her blood.

🖤Kate is sort of sensitive, she won't cry if you bump into her accidentally but would tear up if you were to raise your voice/insult her in any way like any normal person. (so don't, you asshole)

📄Listens to soft, classical music sometimes but also some indie pop now and then.

🖤She's a walking angel, her personality, her looks and smarts, everything about her is just *chefs kiss*.

📄Her favourite animal is either the Florida White Rabbit or the Harp Seal, commonly known as Saddleback/Greenland Seal, Kate adores Harp Seal's so much and is always smiling while looking at photos of them.

🖤Hobbies? Playing the violin & the piano, back when she lived with her parents she was super into gardening + cooking.

📷 Max Caulfield:

📄She's always cooped up in her dorm either studying away, practicing her guitar skills or hanging out with Warren and Chloe.

🖤Max is a proud geek, alright? She's a board game, video game, everything remotely geeky fan, 100% played Dungeons & Dragons with Warren and has a few photos of the whole thing in a box under her bed titled 'W&M DND'.

📄Has overplayed Speedy Ortiz & Syd Matters so much but surprisingly never gets bored of their songs, but everyone else around her already has.

🖤Max sucks complete, utter ass at cooking and she knows it, she'll still try her best though but she can't even make toast properly without making it suffer through the toaster.

📄She can say some bad shit about people if they're assholes but she'd never say anything about someone who's innocent/someone she knows is a good person.

🖤Her spirit animal is a Doe and while she adores it completely, she also really likes Koala's and thinks that they're absolutely adorable.

🎭 Rachel Amber:

📄Rachel is that perfect, pretty and amazing popular girl that everyone knows, she struggles with her emotions pretty bad and I can see her going to Rose for help but never really her father.

🖤She wants to be an actor, right? Then that's what she's aiming for, to be in the public eye with a smile on her face and an award in her hands.

📄Multiple public bathrooms, walls and doors across arcadia bay are marked with 'RACHEL AMBER WAS HERE' or 'R.A'.

🖤Best chef in the world, clap clap! She's honestly so good at cooking and baking, has definitely thought about being a badass chef instead of a badass actor before.

📄She can sing really good, her and Chloe made a song together which was stashed away ..kept in a safe place after she went missing.

🖤She's heard about Skip from Chloe + always thought he was a cool older brother/father figure to any fucked up kid around the campus and 100% agrees with his nerdy horror game lifestyle.

📄Rachel's favourite animal is the Red Panda, she has a photo of one on a shelf somewhere and also has a Red Panda stuffed animal.

🖤Listens to punk rock and some heavy metal if she's in the mood, she loves PissHead and Firewalk.

🎬 Victoria Chase:

📄Her schedule is nearly always full, she's either bossing Vortex Club members and others about or practicing with her camera.

🖤She secretly listens to punk rock sometimes but will roll her eyes and say 'you don't look like the type' if anyone else like her takes an interest in her music taste.

📄She's got a geeky side to her from the figures in her room to the shit she's stuffed under her bed (video games, etc) so nobody else will find out about it and make fun of her.

🖤Victoria isn't the best at cooking but she isn't awful, she's told everyone in Blackwell that she's a master chef though. There's room for improvement, she needs MAJOR improvement cooking-wise.

📄She's really good at playing the piano, photography (of course) and she can make her own outfits with the right fabrics + tools.

🖤Her favourite animal is the Cheetah and she makes that very clear, even told someone 'i could claw you like a cheetah, bitch.' once before.

📄Definitely posts stuff about positive vibes on her socials while acting like a total bitch in real life.

🎮 Warren Graham:

📄He's broken his hand before during a fight, it sounds so badass but he's hella embarrassed and ashamed about it.

🖤Listens to small bands he found through his dorky websites that he's always on and always attends their gigs.

📄(Sucks dick at cooking), will totally hype his friends up about it then laugh awkwardly and act completely clueless at their grossed out reactions.

🖤He knows Skip pretty well since Warren was already in Blackwell at the same time that Skip was working there, they've exchanged opinions about games and movies way before the first game.

📄His favourite animals are Owls especially the Great Horned Owl, he saw one at night while he was hanging with Max and watched as she took a near hour taking photos of it.

🖤He hangs out on websites nearly all the time to read about the local bands, owl sightings, when the new video game he wants so bad is coming out.

📄Has probably searched up shit like 'how to get a boyfriend/girlfriend' before.

🧨 Nathan Prescott:

📄(He looks like a bent ass banana from the fruit bowl with the weird ass way he's sitting, fix your posture man.)

🖤He's 99% busy all the time, he's either attending therapy, in class, doing stuff for the Vortex Club or doing his usual..shady shit.

📄When he's texting you or his friends, the messages are barely readable because he texts like 'CU Thre, LOL, 2nte' and adds an unnecessary amounts of ?? and !!.

🖤Nathan doesn't have a specific music taste but he does sort of like listening to heavy metal.

📄Doesn't know how to cook at all, his parents never cared to teach him and why bother when you're filthy rich?!

🖤He doesn't really care for shit other than his fucked up photography or the Vortex Club, he'll maybe sketch some stuff here and there but even his sketches come out looking severly fucked up.

📄His favourite animal is the Indian Saw-Scaled Viper, he's into some scary shit because he's a scary asshole so don't be surprised. I mean, he also likes dogs..i guess.

🖤Huge horror movie fan as well like you sit him down, turn on a terrifying, traumatizing ass movie but he just rolls his eye and stays there completely unphased.

Boy Bands in 5 Minutes — VoicePlay music video

People have been singing together since there have been people, but the specific phenomenon of boy bands really took form during the mid-20th century. In that grand tradition, VoicePlay had been performing a medley of songs from their mainstream counterparts infused with their own trademark silliness at live shows for years. With a few tweaks and a lot of hard work, they created this incredible audio-visual tour through decades of pop, rock, motown, and hip-hop hits. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. That is, if you can resist dancing along.

My favorite bits:

easing into things with harmonies of a memorable song from their own youth, then jumping back to the early stuff

Earl at nearly 40 sounding just as good as preteen Michael Jackson on those high vocals

the clever camera wipe transitions that allow them to change outfits and positions to reflect each group

the rhythm section doing some air instrumentation during "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" 🎸🥁

J.None actually not being too proud to ask his bandmates to come back after they jazz-square-slide away

using the whip pan to and from the gossipers to make another costume change

Geoff pushing past Earl, which propels Eli off screen and into the right order for the next dance sequence

the beautiful juxtaposition of the "Single Ladies" choreography done to "Walk Like A Man" 💃🕺

the airy decending sounds Layne makes as they all fall down and the camera spins into the next song

getting back to their barbershop roots for "Candy Girl"

bracketing "Thank You" with the unmistakeable bell chords from "Motownphilly"

Layne doing the quick change "wrong" and yanking off his dickie with dramatic flair as he starts beatboxing again

the whole montage of "Pop"-able items, particularly the intense Bubble Tape™ stand-off, and J.None being showered in bubbles

playing up the dork-itude of the One Direction dance moves

that chromatic descent transitioning into the final song

the delightful floof of Geoff's hair as he rebounds the cascading movement back down the line

that lush ending, complete with Eli's fantastic riff

Trivia:

○ This video was the result of a Patreon poll, and the option the guys least wanted to win, because they knew how much work it would be. But they committed to it like the professionals they are, going all out on the music, costumes, and choreography.

○ The medley is an update / expansion of the previous version they had been performing at live shows for many years. They took the opportunity to swap out some songs in the earlier arrangement for others by the same artists:

Jackson 5 — "ABC" ⇒ "I Want You Back"

Four Seasons — "Sherry" ⇒ "Walk Like a Man"

*NSYNC — "Bye Bye Bye" ⇒ "POP"

One Direction — "What Makes You Beautiful" ⇒ "Best Song Ever"

○ To get the dance moves right, they called in a ringer — choreographer Kristin Denehy from The Sing-Off competition show and live tours, who they'd also worked with on their "Cheerleader" video several years before.

○ The group of gossipers during "Walk Like a Man" is all of VoicePlay's spouses at the time — Nick Perez, Kathy Castellucci, Cyndi Stein, and Ashley Jacobson.

○ The sandwich delivery guy in "Thank You" is the fellas' longtime friend and collaborator Rek Dunn. Given that Boyz II Men are proud Philadelphians, he's probably handing over a cheesesteak.

○ Eli sings some of the Korean lyrics in the closing BTS section. Given that he speaks Japanese, he was probably the most likely of the guys to get the pronunciation right. (And judging by the YouTube comments from BTS fans, he did a good job.)

○ When Geoff was rehearsing the choreography at home, he got some personal coaching from Kathy and little William.

○ The guys also had group dance rehearsals at a local studio.

○ Things got a little out of hand while they were filming the bubble wrap section of the "Pop" montage.

○ They got their act together for the transition to the next song, though.

○ The long day of filming and dancing aggravated Earl's old foot injury, so he spent the next day wearing a brace to help it recover.

○ The streaming audio version is separated into 4 tracks with 3 or 4 songs each, primarily due to licensing restrictions.

○ The 4:2:Five boys had opened for 98 Degrees at Sea World all the way back in September 2001, just a few months after they'd released their first professional EP. When VoicePlay appeared on the fourth season of The Sing-Off in 2013, working with Nick Lachey again was a little bit of a reunion.

Clean Sheets

Pairing: Elliot Euphoria x Reader

Warnings: A lil suggestive but overall relatively PG :)

A/n: This is a request by anon so I can't tagged them sadly :( but I figured I'd still post it :) "can I pls request a fic of Elliot from Euphoria in honour of Valentine’s Day? maybe use the prompt 'See I was gonna cover myself in whip cream and chocolate syrup but then I remembered I like my clean sheets'." I think this is the cutest thing ever.

"Woah." When I open the door to my room I'm faced with Elliot sitting crisscrossed on my bed, surrounded by plants and at least four bouquets of flowers with a huge smile on his face. "Uh, hi?" I laugh, stepping awkwardly into the room with a shocked expression, not expecting this at all.

"I know we said we weren't exchanging gifts but..." He trails off with a cocky smile, handing me the first present he can get his hands on. I pull the fluffy sweatshirt out of the bag with an excited hum, seeing the tag and realizing this is something I put on my wishlist at least a year ago. He pays attention...

"Elliot, this is-" The excitement bubbling in my throat stops my words in their tracks, my bright smile taking over. "Like wow."

"See I was gonna cover myself in whip cream and chocolate syrup but then I remembered I like my clean sheets." I reach out to shove him playfully, stepping between his legs so I can lean down and give him a gentle peck on the lips.

"You're such a dork, shut up." I mutter against his lips, unable to pull myself away from him, easily getting so addicted in the way that his lips taste after being away from him for such a long day.

"But seriously, I just wanted to show you how much I appreciate you." His thumb brushes soothingly against my cheek, his eyes flickering back and forth between mine with the softest look in his eyes. "You've gotten me though a lot this year."

"This is so sweet." I sigh, looking around the bed once more, completely taken back by the smell of the flowers and the amount of gifts. How did he afford this. "Thank you."

"Wanna unwrap them?" He asks with a bright grin, pulling me down to sit atop his lap with a teasing smile.

"Can you unwrap me first?"
