I was browsing BTR fanfiction and happened upon this:

[kenobivirgin69]

Gustavo: sometimes I wish I had become a father

James: but you already are!!

Kendall: yeah, what about us!!

BTR: yeah!!

Gustavo: *stunned, slightly annoyed but oddly touched* you dogs do realize I'm not your father, right?

*later*

BTR: *sadly writing in their diaries* "today I was disowned by my father"

mood.

anyone else remember the bit in season 3-4 of austin & ally where trish started managing a boy band called boynado, but she hated them bc they didn't get along with each other? my take is that they were a former boyband of gustavo's and he lied about them to get trish to take them, and now trish has beef with gustavo bc of it

"he's counting on my DOGS, bro...? He's not going down without a FIGHT ? He's managing a...BOY...? Band...? KIIIINDA Gay, bro..."

why does gustavo x kelly exist

i don't get it, gustavo's probably a decade or 2 older than kelly anyway do you really think that guy was even slightly interested in her? replace that with gustavo x hawk

it's giving enemies to lovers, it's giving rivalry, it's giving toxic old man yaoi bc y'all know they be sneaking out to meet up behind everyone's backs

i want my big time yaoi and i want it NOW!!!!1!1!!1111!!!11!

So the Gustavo sketch is actually part of a bigger post. The joke being that in our friend group, all of our favorite contestants got 0-2'd.

Yes, we're all sad.

Since Siivagunner is having a Spirit Week this week, I decided to join in by drawing a bunch of Mashup Week Characters with the prompts

do u ever think about how gustavo never really had friends or a loving family before he met btr. do u ever think about how hes said that theyve taught them so much about things he never got the chance to experience before. how he's said theyre his good luck charms. how the childless gustavo becomes something of a father figure to the four in the absence of any other male figures. do u ever think about that.

gustavo is such a fucking funny character

Big Time Rush remake idea:

I would like to share with you my idea for a Big Time Rush remake:

10 years after the series ended, the guys get back together and want to make music. Gustavo and Kelly are excited about the Big Time reunion and are planning a tour and the guys are releasing a new album.

But the boys have moved on with their lives:

Kendall and Jo are now married. Jo is a successful actress and Kendall has become a songwriter and producer. He had the idea for the reunion

James has started a solo career and continues to make music. He also became known as an actor and model. He is no longer with Lucy (sorry to all Jucy fans, but I don't like Jucy)

His manager of course is Katie

Logan fulfilled his dream and became a doctor. He and Camille are engaged to be married. Logan has never lost his love of music. Camille is a successful actress and has even won an Oscar for best actress

Carlos and Alexa are married and he has joined her and together they save the world as a spy couple. But Carlos has never lost his love of music either

So, like...how old is Gustavo supposed to be in Big Time Rush? I was pondering this earlier because Gustavo never seemed old to me when the show was on, but I probably would have put him somewhere in his 40s. After all, it's established that he was big in the 90s and produced a lot of successful boy bands during that time.

Except Stephen Kramer Glickman was only 30 when the show premiered! He's certainly not playing his own age because it wouldn't have been possible for him to have been a famous producer in the 1990s. He would've only been 20 at the very end of the 90s, meaning he was an 11 or 12-year-old starting to crank out famous bands at the start of his career, lol. The Gustavo wiki page lists his character's birth year as 1976, but I don't think that's an established fact? And anyway, I still wouldn't even buy that since it still seems too young. His career would've been over by the time he was 23. (Unless he really was some music producer prodigy managing bands in his teens/early twenties. Which I suppose is in line with the general absurdity of the BTR universe)

Anyway, all of this is to say that we're probably supposed to believe Gustavo is somewhere in his 40s, which works since he's one of those people who looked older than he actually was. And it's funny to watch the show now and see Gustavo be this big, scary, older authority figure over the guys when there was really only about a 10-year age gap between him and them. He ends up serving as sort of a father figure to them in a way at times, when in reality his actual age put him much more firmly in "older brother" territory. Weird.

This is totally random, but as far as the JONAS (LA) X BTR crossover (either one, really) goes...

Macy's favorite of the btr boys is carlos, because sports, and also bc he's just fun to hang out with. macy seems normal and put together at first, but she loves physical activity, as we know from s1, and carlos (platonically) matches her freak in the places nick doesn't

Stella's favorite is...and isn't james. she's basically that post that's like "you're in his dms. i'm pissing him off, i'm ruining his day" but in the most convoluted way possible, they also, platonically, match each other's freak. all in all, stella would rather spend time with the other girls, and she obviously adores joe, bc he understands her thoroughly, but james is like...the opposite. they understand each other and fucking hate it.

Katie and Frankie deserve the most insane sublot that builds up over time, until their scheme eventually collides with the main plotline and wreaks absolute havoc. they're ten years old and evil geniuses with famous brothers, you know the two of them meeting will bite everyone in the ass in the end.

I do think Nick and Logan would get along, but the thing is, logan is a science and math nerd and nick is a writing and music nerd. they're slightly different species of nerd. but I think nick would get along best with logan and kendall, bc even though they can go off the deep end sometimes, they're easier to handle than carlos and james.

I'm gonna ramble about Kevin and Lucy again bc I want to. it's so hard for me to imagine lucy with like, any other guy, just bc james is clearly gay, and the subplot with her and kendall was a total mess since he hadn't broken up with jo first... Anyway, they're both rockstars, and Kevin had a lot of character development in s2. he's kind, responsible, ambitious, and Lucy is headstrong, confident, and clever. I feel like they'd actually have a very normal relationship timeline compared to a lot of other ships/couples, simply bc by the time they're both in the narrative they're 18/19 and living on their own.

Joe...he would get along best with kendall, not just for the main character energy, but also bc I feel like they react similarly in a lot of situations, but joe is also a little more self-sufficient than kendall is, which isn't a bad thing, and is mostly due to living in la without his parents for a/multiple (depends on crossover fic) summer(s), whereas kendall's always had his mom and friends doing everything together.

Kevin's an interesting one, bc while s1 era kevin would definitely be best friends with carlos, by the time jonas la rolls around he's mellowed out. he's still a little dramatic sometimes, but post-HMA Kevin is very different bc of the responsibility for his brothers he gained over the summer. I feel like he'd sort of keep that older brother role he's grown into, so, besides his relationship with lucy, he's mostly helping clean up the trouble and not cause it. at the same time though, i think he'd get wrapped up in the katie and frankie subplot the most

Joe and Camille would also get along pretty well, mostly bc they have acting in common, with joe wanting advice from camille solely due to her years of experience. she's also easier to talk to than bigger names in the industry, so it's more of leaning on a friend instead of a mentor

Jo and Macy definitely spar every so often, mostly bc jo likes that there's another girl around that she can connect with about physical sports. it's not the same trying to spar with kendall, and now she has someone who's an even match against her.

Mona is one of the few people that aren't afraid to go toe to toe against griffin, given she doesn't work for him, and she's definitely screamed at him for Kelly's sake. gustavo is a little afraid of mona, and rightfully so. she's proud of that.

Still no one likes DZ
