#greer chats

[charfletchh]

she shot him a satirical raised eyebrow. "i don't appreciate your sarcasm, mr. morrison." the name soured in her mouth - it was so much easier to not think about greer when she could forget cara and eddie shared her dna. but the compliment, however forced, diverted her attention. "of course it does," she agreed. "i wouldn't have done it if i didn't think it would look good." that wasn't entirely true - dumping the box dye on her head in the gas station sink, she'd been thinking less about the undertones of her skin and more about not recognizing her reflection, as if a different hue on her head could make her a different person. but she'd chosen to block that out, and she was an expert at that. "you know, i have a duty to the people of ogden to constantly serve. and i would love to continue to do so as your elected representative,” she winked.

“Yeah, wonder why…” He agreed with her in a tone of mock disbelief. Charlie Fletcher? Up to shady business? As if! Though, when it came to Ogden, that was what most people were usually up to; she just happened to excel at it… Ogden College: a world where being shady is the norm and honest people are a minority.

“I think it looks great on you.” He shrugged nonchalantly as though he wasn't saying anything she didn't already know.  “But then again, what doesn’t?” Because, really, he wasn’t. Charlie was the kind of person who would still turn heads if she showed up with a baseball cap and the plainest sweatshirt ever made – not that she would ever dress like that, but still.

He considered asking her how she had been after they’d last seen each other but ended up deciding against it. Even if he sincerely hoped she was doing better, dealing with the loss of her friend and whatnot, he didn’t feel like bringing up their awkward encounter and reliving the memories of how he really had no clue on how to console a person upon the loss of a loved one.

Mare Phantom: Part 6

@void-of-unparalled-chaos, here's some more!

Enjoy and be gentle ---

Standing on a rooftop, Marc pulled a deep drag of fresh-ish air into his lungs.

Maybe he was being a coward, but after faintly hearing a voice that might have been Doctor Doom himself over the Mission's phone, he had to breath for just a moment. "Shit's hit the fan, eh?" Jake asked into the silence. "Auugh." "At least, when the media finds about all this, everyone that 'law' victimizes will know that not everybody wants them dead," Steven pointed out. "Or deader than dead," Marc added in agreement, followed by another deep breath.

Oh, how he hoped no one would try to interview him when that finally happened.

A third breath, and Marc turned to head back to the Mission. When a familar sound came from behind, along with the usual voice with it. "Moon Knight!" Marc turned just in time to see a hurried Spider-Man land with a small bundle in his arms. Instantly, he closed the distance. "What happened?" "The GIW! They've built a lab in New York, a bunch of us just raided it. Lots of injuries," Spidey panted as he explained, "This one's the worst."

Marc allowed Spidey to pass the bundle to him. A glowing green dog, no bigger than a puppy, looked up at him and weakly yapped. "Got some webbing as temp stitches, but they're dissolving fast! Go!" Marc turned instantly and sprinted.

The Mission's doors slammed open as he neared. "Reese, we've got incoming!" he greeted as the screaching of tires sounded from behind. "What kind?!" she was imedieatly by his side. "Injured travellers," he stated, letting her see the dog. "Oh, my- Go, I'll direct everyone to the med-bay and join you!"

Instantly, Marc darted through the nearest door, and was there. "Wha-?" Danny and Badr said almost in sync. "No time, GIW base in New York just got raided," Marc breathlessly laid the bundle on a table and unwrapped the cloth.

The instant the dog was exposed, Danny's eyes widened. "Cujo?" he asked faintly. Cujo whined. The artifical webbing was visibly failing, showing off the deep cut in the pup's belly. "Marc, get the medical thread," Badr quickly commanded. "Wait, it won't work!" Danny staggered from his bed, "the ectoplasm will just eat right through it!" "What else can we use?" Badr asked. "The Fenton Ghost Fisher, the wire's coated in an ecto-based resin," Danny stated, "He's also going to need ectoplasm, but the only two portals are too far away, and if the GIW is here-"

"We'll deal with it," Marc promised, "right, Badr. Wrap that wound best you can. Kid, do you know how to get a hold of that device?" "I can do you one better, I can make the resin. I just need ecto and some supplies." "State what you need, we'll get it." Marc closed his eyes and swallowed, "The Sanctum might know how to get ectoplasm." As the med-bay suddenly grew new five beds, Badr nodded.

Marc ran out, yelling to Reese as he passed: "Supply run!" His phone only dialed for a moment before Greer picked up. "Marc, what's-" "No time to chat," Marc panted over the chlled night air as he ran, "Got several injured ghosts in the Mission, I'm heading to the Sanctum for ectoplasm. I need you to get some stuff for Danny." "Of cource, name it." "I don't know yet, but Reese or someone else should be messaging you soon with the list." "I'll be waiting. Keep me posted."

The call ended just as Bleeker Street appeared. Hopefully with good news.

Sup.

So, this would be like my intro? Presentation? I don't know. Something along those lines.

Okay, so the name's Jezebel Baz (either can be used, I'm good with both). I use any and all pronouns, and I'm omnisexual and genderqueer. I'm Argentinian (and very proud, babeyyy).

This is mostly a redacted audio account, although I may throw in some posts from different fandoms or no fandom at all here and then.

This is also a very nsfw and sexually positive blog, so if that does not tickle your fancy and you do not enjoy reading about how I want to do filthy filthy things to my faves, I'd recommend scrolling away now lmao

My top three characters are, in order: Regulus, Azmidi, Brachium, and David.

My top three redacted kins are: Gavin, Guy, and Angel.

My dms and asks are always open, so if you feel like chatting, go for it.

Uh, idk what else to say...

Here is random stuff that I like!

Reading, fashion, makeup, allegories and metaphors, history (especially queer history), poetry and complex stories.

I'm very talkative and passionate, so this is my lil corner to scream into the void.

Also I curse a lot.

DNI (do not interact) even though I didn't want to make this a thing, it apparently has to be made:

Homophobes (wtf are you doing here? Shoo)

Transphobes and terfs (which is basically the same thing)

Caelum sexualisers (I'm just not comfortable with that stuff, man, I don't wanna see it)

Racists (obviously, the fact that I even have to say this bro)

I'm a writer, or at least I'd like to think of myself that way, so I write a lot of fanfics. Also, I'm a perfectionist, so I may not release those fanfics for a bit.

Here's my tag list:

Sfw:

Nsfw:

Both: @indigo-greer-collins @ch3zzz @kxemii @darlin-collins @plutocries @ambrose-mp4 @elles-roses

Anyway, I think that's it, hope y'all get comfy around here and all that stuff. Bye-o

Coming soon: The girls are sneaking off from the Villa!

This fanfic will be LITG canon based but will include some bits from the actual TV show and Love Island Matchmaker. Including what happens in both the Main (Original) Villa and Casa Amor.

Bedroom

Bobby: Boys, where are the girls?

Bobby: I don't know, let's go and check upstairs?

Dressing room

Jakub: Where the hell are the girls?

(YELLS) Bobby: Girls? Where are you?

Ibrahim: Bobby, the girls are gone… 

Lucas: Maybe they are in the garden?

Gym

Gary: They've left the villa.

Ibrahim: They've left?

Bobby: They've all got really, really dainty, like, steps. Because I wake up quite easily. They must have been doing some mad ninja moves.

MC: "Girls on tour!" I cheered and we all clinked glasses. "Did you know, Casa Amor is actually Spanish for 'House of Love'."

MC: "I would be lying if I didn’t think a girl would come here and make a beeline for him."

New casa amor bomshells:

What's your Casa Amor strategy? "There’s no time to hold back, so I’m going to make sure I get to know everyone. I’m not going to waste any time thinking about what their current situation might be because I need to give myself a chance. I’m going to lay all my cards on the table and see where it gets me."

Why Love Island and why now? "I think it’s ideal timing and the perfect way to find someone. I don’t go out and party and I don’t use dating apps, I’m actually quite old-fashioned, so there’s no better way to meet someone than by going into a Villa in the sun with the potential ‘one’ in there."

What are you looking for in a partner? "I’m looking for someone who has good energy coming from them. Is fun and has good banter. The boys are waiting for someone to come in and steal their hearts."

Back in Casa Amor:

In the Beach Hut, Marisol: The Love Island gods have answered my prayers, they sent me in six fresh sexy new boys. It’s like day one again, do you know what I mean? It feels like this is my time to get to know all these guys and, hopefully, find a connection with one of the six. Or all six of them if I’m allowed. I mean, I will take all six, just to make up for lost time.

BH Chelsea: I’m like a kid in a candy store, right now. I’m just like, (points her finger in a pretend line) umm, um-um-um-um-um! I’m not sure which one I wanna try first.

BH Grace: I really think that Arjun is, like, a proper geezer. He's going to play a massive game. He is so confident. I could see the way he was looking at all the girls. He made me feel like he liked me within five seconds. I saw him doing the same thing to everyone. I wouldn't trust him.

Loungers: On the loungers, Hope and Grace are having a catch up. The others’ are in two smaller groups chatting getting to know the new boys.

Hope: I feel like I should be grating… But, then I’m like what’s going on. No. Not grafting, but…

Grace: Surely not. Who should you be grating?

Hope: No. Not grafting. As in like… Chatting. But, like, in sort of a big group I can’t get to know, like, any one of them one-on-one. There's Alex. (She points.) Carl. Mick?

Grace: Nick?

Hope: Mick.

Grace: No, not Mick.

Hope: The red beard. What’s his name? Mi-

Grace: There's no Mick.

Hope: Elijah?

Grace: Oh, I can’t even remember if there was a Greer, you know. There was defo a Greer.

Hope: Yeah, Greer’s that tattooed one, full red beard.

Grace: And there is a, um, Casey… Kayden… Casey?

Hope: No Casey.

Hope snorts and lowers her voice. “Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy?”

Grace: Oh, my days, Hope! Fuck, we’re so bad.

They burst out laughing.

Narrator, Iain Stirling: What we need here is, oh, I don’t know, a close-up of each lad, with their name magically appearing. Or we can just have our girls get some one-on-one time with the new boys.

Your phone beeps.

Grace: Oh, hang on. Guys I've got a text!

Girls, it's time to get to know these new boys a bit better.  Get ready for a round of speed dating. #icebreaker #cocktailshaker

[luriddaze]

"dating is a nightmare a lot of the time. i've dated both guys and girls, and it's the same stuff, except men actually end to be more dramatic, somehow. i guess that would explain that guy's freakout, huh?" the dark-haired woman remarked with a playful smile, gazing over at the girl and noticing the light flush of her cheeks. "well, he should appreciate that. if not, you dodged a bullet." she remarked with a gentle shrug of her shoulders. "that's sweet. i guess it could be worse, after all i am named after a pretty flower. i like greer, though. unique names have always been my favorite." she assured, handing over her phone after a moment when she realized they hadn't quite discussed a drop-off location. "if you want, you can add wherever i'm taking you into my gps - otherwise, i'll take you out for a proper meal."

"i mean, i don't need to to do that. i can just use it to show people why i don't date." greer said with a laugh as she felt her cheeks starting to flush as she nodded. "thank you. i just was trying to be kind." she said in a quiet tone. "i love the name daisy. i would much rather have a name like that compared to greer." she muttered as she rolled her eyes. "it's far from a stripper name, my dear."

@greer-morgan

Wiley felt like shit.

That was normal, she'd been told, when she woke up in some fucking hospital. The last thing she'd remembered was Gage's face. safe. safe. safe. but now, she knew. She hadn't won, nobody had. Gage was still alive, had even come to visit her. had made her cry. They were in the tower. those rebels that Wiley had been halfheartedly hoping would save her had pulled through, somefucking how.

She got to go home.

Just... not until she could stand up. As it was, she had capitol tech working on healing her, but she'd been perscribed a strict week of rest, just in case. apparently the rebel doctors were used to a bit more rough supplies than the tribute tower had in stock, and they didn't want to lose any more tributes in 136.

And all of that was fine, but it left Wiley bored. which made her a terrible annoyance to anyone who wandered into her view, very much including greer, sitting in some hospital hallway as she took one of her mandated walks. "Greer?" she asked, stopping her rollator for a moment (she felt older than Ms Royce, using it, but it was required) and looking at the woman she'd met before. "Who are you here for? That's not my room." she was grinning, clearly joking as she sat down on her seat, sitting to have a quick chat. "I know we're not old pals, but... good to see you. I hear stuff got crazy there. I was out of it."

[linkcache]

@greer-morgan

"oh, there's my ball buddy." It wasn't official, but this was something like the third ball that the two victors had had a brief chat. Link found herself seeking Greer out this time, to see her. "would you like to scout out the food table with me? I'm trying to decide what looks good."

[chaoticrebels]

There was a slight nod given in response before her head tilted, a quizzical expression on her features. Raine couldn't help but to notice how Greer looked away from her after pausing, which caused her lips to curve downwards slightly. Then her sister was speaking once more and her frown only deepened. She couldn't imagine how hard her sister's life must be, couldn't imagine what she's been through. It was almost heartbreaking to think that Greer had to mourn both their father and her for five years, probably much longer if she was being honest.

It was also weird because for Rae, it hadn't been that long since she last seen the female. But in reality it's been five years or longer and while she had no control over it, she still felt remorseful. Remorseful for a lot of things if she was being honest but she couldn't do anything about most of it, what she could do was this. She reached her hand out and intertwined her fingers with the other's, squeezing gently. ❝I'm sorry, Greer. That life hasn't blessed you with the wonders of those little moments that make life worth wild, it's truly not fair but life isn't fair. It's beautiful but it's cruel when it wants to be. And while I can't change the past, I can give you a chance to experience the beauty of what I was talking about. I may not be much but I'm here and I'm not going anywhere, again. I promise.❞ Rae voiced softly, giving her a reassuring smile.

❝Also you shouldn't be afraid to make connections, to share your life with someone, rather it be in friendship or romance. I understand that there are dangers out there lurking but a life of solitude, a life of being alone, isn't much of a life. And if life has taught us anything then it's the tomorrow isn't an guarantee thing so you should enjoy it while you can.❞

Greer couldn't quite believe that she was standing next to her little sister once again, that for the last five years she had been searching for answers only for her to appear out of nowhere it seemed. Greer just stared at her for a moment and sighed, quelling the urge to hug her yet again, she couldn't cling onto her forever. "That does sound wonderful. I've just..." Greer paused for a moment, looking down, her whole life seemed to be running and hiding even if she hadn't always known it.

"I've never met anyone I wanted that with, it's never been safe enough and now? Maybe? I don't know, I'm just afraid it will all be ripped away."

Join us Sunday, February 18th when we discuss Pulitzer Prize winner Andrew Sean Greer's Less!

Who says you can't run away from your problems? You are a failed novelist about to turn fifty. A wedding invitation arrives in the mail: your boyfriend of the past nine years is engaged to someone else. You can't say yes--it would be too awkward--and you can't say no--it would look like defeat. On your desk are a series of invitations to half-baked literary events around the world. QUESTION How do you arrange to skip town? ANSWER You accept them all. What would possibly go wrong? Arthur Less will almost fall in love in Paris, almost fall to his death in Berlin, barely escape to a Moroccan ski chalet from a Saharan sandstorm, accidentally book himself as the (only) writer-in-residence at a Christian Retreat Center in Southern India, and encounter, on a desert island in the Arabian Sea, the last person on Earth he wants to face. Somewhere in there: he will turn fifty. Through it all, there is his first love. And there is his last. Because, despite all these mishaps, missteps, misunderstandings and mistakes, Less is, above all, a love story.

greer in the group chat every time kate fucks up, while franny over here like

[clearwingedmaven]

Since I've chatted about Reacher, and have caught up with several of the books(yes, I mean several, because I'm very eager for Season 3), here's my favorites so far(In no particular order). (And recommendations for others!)

1) Killing Floor: Yup, an obvious choice(and my favorite of the bunch, I blame my love for Roscoe and Finlay), but it's really good. The mystery is tight and entertaining, I loved getting to where the book came to the screen for the series. I also really liked the lighter moments in this book too, like Finlay and Reacher dancing in excitement in the counterfeit money pile, and the fights were entertaining as heck as well. Loved both versions of the Killing Floor!

2) Tripwire: I didn't actually enjoy Die Trying that much, I thought the FBI sections were boring and the "trapped in a locked van" isn't my forte, so Tripwire was a breath of fresh air. The main baddie was terrifying, and I may or may not have kept screaming at the book for Reacher to turn around because who he was looking for was RIGHT THERE. Also felt really bad for Hobie's family, they didn't deserve the crap they went through. Bonus points for the "my muscles stopped a bullet" ending, it cracked me up.

3) Persuader: I can see why so many people have this at the top of their list, it was really good! I loved the undercover aspect, and folding in all sorts of backstory and drama was a lot of fun to dissect. Watching Reacher finally beat Paulie was amazing, and the end was beautiful. I also really liked exploring Reacher's more vulnerable side, this book shows he has a heart.

4) Worth Dying For: Probably the best written so far, everything about this one clicked for me, I loved getting to explore Nebraska and try to figure out what was going on, that twist at the end made my jaw drop in the middle of an airplane. 😅 Easily the best villain beat down of the entire series, I was audibly cheering by the end of it.

5) One Shot: My favorite opening sequence to one of the books, but definitely one of the heavier opening sequences. It really drove home the terror of the violence, and the mystery of what happened, why it happened, and who's behind everything. A more "thinky" Reacher was great, I loved seeing the detective work and slowly unraveling the mystery alongside him. The Tom Cruise movie is... interesting, I thought some of it was delivered pretty good, but the book was better for me overall.

Honorable Mention: Echo Burning-It was fine, I'm not overly fond of how fast to dismiss Carmen the book seemed to be, and how odd she came off at times. However, Ellie Greer is a delight and her scenes were my favorites.

And that's it for me!

[chaoticrebels]

// hehe XD Well that's fine, you can keep any and all my muse anytime you want :3

A soft chuckle escaped the male's lips as he shook his head, a hint of a smile beginning to grow. ❝Yeah, that poor wall would've probably been traumatized for weeks.❞ Peter quipped, instantly noticing the scape once he surveying the damage, despite her trying to hide it. Which made him feel bad, was positive his aunt would be so disappointed if he didn't try to make it up to her. ❝Oh I have no doubt you'll be okay, unless I don't know my own strength. But still, I'd never be able to live with myself if I didn't make it up to you some how. So is there anything I can do?❞

Thankfully whatever diluted version of the serum running through her veins usually saved her from being seriously hurt, though she was nowhere near invincible and would probably feel it later, she gave him a small smile in return. He hardly seemed like the type who meant it. "You're fine, it was that wall I almost felt sorry for." She did her best to hide the scrape and shook her head, it would heal in a few hours anyway.

"I'll be okay, I have my stubbornness to get me through it." Greer teased softly.

🗡️ Anon here with some Thoughts!

I think what fascinates me the most about this Yoongi character in Collateral is that we have definitely watched his control dwindle more and more over time in the main chapters, with how the Busan girls have been getting the upper hand more and causing some real problems, and also with his mental health. He keeps disappearing and becoming more quiet and distant.

So then to get a POV where he is having trouble with dissociation and thoughts about drugs (in almost a self-harm type of way) it really paints a much clearer picture of who this character is.

I am very concerned. It seems he is having some of the same issues as the mc, and I wonder if that is part of the reason her leaving (with the way that she did, with the note) is so painful?

In his POV and in Namjoon's POV, they both are like "we wanted a simpler life where we could be together" and I wonder if secretly their end goal is the same as the mcs?

Brilliant POV! Brilliant fic!! I don't know if I have been leaving comments about past chapters because this spring got very busy, but as always, I love your writing so much!! THANK YOU MOTHERRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on getting As! I hope you decide to write in your free time, but if not, I am looking forward to whatever you have to say!

(I saw somewhere that you were in your book reading era. Anything good lately?)

DAGGER, MY LOVEEEE!!! 🗡️😍😍

i peeked at the tag, and it has been 4 months since we have gotten to chat. thank you so so so much for popping in and sharing your thoughts and saying hi!!!

books i have recently read/listened to and loved include:

This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El Mohtar and Max Gladstone - my only 5 star non-fiction read. i am OBSESSED.

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro - i plan to read more of his books in the near future.

Annie Bot by Sierra Greer - i was on an AI kick for a bit. Annie and Klara could not be more different.

I'm Glad by Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy (memoir) - i didn't watch iCarly so i didn't know much about Jennette as a person or an actor, but it was fascinating and sad to hear her story.

tbh there are a lot more. i have a storygraph where i have been keeping track of everything i have been reading/listening to, if you wanna check it out!

NOW ONTO THE COLLATERAL STUFF, AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love talking about this fic.

yes, we have definitely been watching some parallels happen between a lo of these characters, whether it is with the wants/needs of some and the actions of some. MC mirrors Yoongi in some ways, Namjoon in some ways, Jeongguk in some ways. there is a big driving force between Namjoon and Yoongi that more or less boils down to the two of them being together no matter what, and worrying after one another. (i suppose this can be a natural occurrence when people spend a lot of time together, but in the case of MC, she hasn't quite been around as much, so it is interesting to see the ways in which she mirrors the men.)

you are correct to be concerned (lmao) and i hope that some of your questions and worries are answered soooooonnnn!!!!!! (do you have thoughts on the ex??? hehehe.)

THANKS SO MUCH FOR SAYING HI, MY DARLING DAGGER!!! it is always a pleasure!!! 💜💜💜

Some random photos I took in Chestnut Ridge because it's really pretty and I haven't played enough with the world. Plus I had Iseul go for a walk, and Tess was walking one of the paths as well. In this universe, she's married to someone else, and I dyed her hair this reddish color for fun and it suits her pretty well. 🤔😊

Anyway, Iseul continues her walk. She digs up a treasure map, a piece of metal, and even finds a frog. She decides to keep the frog for a bit, and then release her back before leaving for home. She names the frog Greer, and chats with her on her way home as she holds her gently in her hand. Greer is probably like what the heck? I didn't sign up for this, but resignedly ribbits as she listens to this human chatting about random stuff. 👀😂
