the secret of us, chapter three.

charles was just about to to drive out the paddock when he heard his phone ring echo through the car. once he saw lewis's name appear up on the dashboard he hesistated to answer. sure him and lewis were friendly but they would never call one another.

pressing the button on his steering wheel, charles answers the call.

"hey lewis what's up?? is everything okay?" charles asks, a sense of urgency hidden in his tone.

lewis takes a breath before speaking. he didn't know how he was going to break the news to charles, in knowing that you two are so close.

"no actually um it's about y/n" he admits.

charles tuts once he hears that, a presumption entering his mind.

"i told u to stay away from her man god what did u do now?"

"i didn't do anything to her, it was her ex"

"did you just say her ex?!"

"yes"

"fuck is she okay"

"yeah i think so, i beat the shit out of that bastard and he ran off thank god but she seemed pretty shaken up"

"oh shit god i knew something was up why tf did i leave her alone"

"hey hey its not your fault all that matter is that shes okay"

"ik ik.....wait is she with you right now"

"no she drove off, and she got acc rly pissed at me"

charles shakes his head. "she always does this, whenever someone wants to get close to her and actually wants to help her she just pushes them away"

"can you please check on her, i just want to make sure she's okay"

at lewis's words charles smiles. he can tell that lewis actually does care about your wellbeing and is being sincere.

"i will ofc"

"thanks, okay bye then"

"wait lewis"

"yeah??"

"thank you for taking care of her"

"it was no problem"

"okay bye mate"

"yeah bye"

with that lewis hangs up the phone, now feeling much more relaxed after having had that conversation. but there still in the back of his mind lingered your scared expression and the way the tears slid down your cheeks and glistened in the moonlight. in that moment lewis had never felt more heartache over something he couldn't control. it was strange because he barely knew you, but that didn't matter, he cared about you and

༘˚⋆𐙚｡⋆𖦹.✧˚

the hustle of the paddock was exactly what you needed now. the sound of engines revving and the screeching of tires distracted your thoughts from reverting back to last night. you couldn't stop picturing his face once he saw you, it was one of concern and caring

ian had been sending you threats for the past month but you had tried to convince yourself that they were empty ones. your phone beeps as you make your way through the paddock to the media pen. there are multiple missed calls from charles and multiple text messages. you scan the it briefly only to find that lewis had confided in him. you sigh before texting charles back. you sent him a quick message confirming that you were okay and at the circuit but you didn't really want to talk about it, you just wanted to forget.

as you were strolling along, your eyes peeled to the contents on your phone you feel someone tap your shoulder. this frightens you so you jump in fear, because this interaction was displayed last night to you.

"hey hey it's me it's me" the voice eases comfortingly.

you sigh once you see it's george standing in front of you. you smile at him.

"are you okay?" he asked a bit confused by your reaction.

you nod in response to his question. "yeah no im fine, i was just so engrossed in my phone that i forgot everything around me.

george squints at you still unsure if you were telling the truth or not because all those times throughout your relationship with ian you had never come to him and told him the truth. he had to find out himself.

"hey why don't you hang out in the garage today?"

"i was actually just going to watch from hospitality"

your main concern was seeing him, so heading to hospitality seemed like the best option and you would do anything to avoid any possible interaction between the pair of you.

"but you enjoyed it so much last time.....and nobody even noticed you"

thinking back to last weekend brought a smile to your face and watching your brother looking at you pleadingly led you to take him him up on his request.

"okay fineeee"

"yayyy" george enunciates happily and pulls you in for a side hug. with george putting it on pole for this race you looked up at him with triumph. everyday you were proud of him and nothing would change that. you were lucky to call him your brother.

the sun had just begun to set and the grandstands had to begun to fill, and with that you and george headed over to the mercedes garage.

༘˚⋆𐙚｡⋆𖦹.✧˚

it was nerve wracking entering the mercedes garage because it wasn't a matter of if you would see him but when.

george handed you a headset before departing to get set up for the race. you watched as he walked away but then your eyes averted to the other side of the garage. lewis was zipping up his suit and placing his earpieces in his ears, his surroundings unbeknownst to him. when he looked up he met eye contact with you, and almost immediately smiles and sends a subtle wave your way. the small gesture warmed your cheeks and you reciprocated it with a shy wave. you watched as he chuckled to himself before hopping into the car.

the two cars exited the garage and lined up on the grid and before you knew it the countdown had begun. the lights went out and the cars leapt off the line. you held your breath as they made there way past the first corner, but you let out a sigh of relief once you saw that george still maintained the lead and unscathed.

the team clapped at this and you also. your eyes stook to george timings but you couldn't help yourself but to take notice to lewis's race. lewis had gone for an overtake on charles leclerc and for a split second it seemed as though they would make contact. your heart was beating rapidly and you bit hard on your fingernails. it wasn't long before lewis had made the maneuver and the garage cheered.

a short while later the pair came in for their pit stop and exited the pit lane to find george still holding onto the lead with max verstappen close behind and then followed by lewis. over the radio george's engineer informs him that there are five laps to go but that max verstappen was now looming closer and gaining on him. it seemed that george's tires were graining alot and mac would have the advantage here of pitting later.

on the last lap the whole mercedes garage was sat on the edge of their seats, unsure if george could keep max behind him. george was now approaching the final corner but max was now assisted by drs. the two drivers were now side by side as they raced to the line. you stood motionless, waiting for the outcome. just at the chequered flag george edged an inch ahead of max and won !!

the garage erupted with cheers and cries of joy and you jumped up and down in happiness. as the cars pulled into parc-ferme the team ran out to congratulate both george and lewis. george jumped into the arms of his team and hugged toto before giving lewis a respectful hanshake.

now it was time for the podium, from which you witnessed with the team and watched as your brother stood on the top step of the podium, beaming with the trophy in his hand. when george spotted you he gave you a nod. lewis was then given his trophy and lifted it up in celebration and you clapped for him. lewis looked around in the crowd for any sign of you and once he spotted those gorgeous eyes he winked at you.

༘˚⋆𐙚｡⋆𖦹.✧˚

after all the shenanigans of the podium celebration the two driver returned to the garage to celebrate properly with the team. you waited patiently as george was congratulated by many and watched on proudly. once you saw you waiting he interrupted a conversation and made his way over to him.

"im so proud of you" you say as you pull him in for a hug, he nearly has to bend down due to your height difference.

"thanks sis but truthfully i couldn't have done it without you"

you chuckle at this. "what do you mean"

"well you told me that my time would come and to never give up....and you were right".

you nod as you remember comforting him with those words after a tough race in f2.

just as he was about to speak again toto called him over to which he had to respond to. he raised his finger indicating he would be just a moment.

"hey"

a familiar voice makes you turn around. lewis is standing there smiling at you.

"oh hey.....oh um congrats today"

"thanks y/n". you liked the way he said your name.

"no problem" you whisper, looking down nervously because his gaze on you was making you flustered.

lewis clears his throat and hesitates before speaking. "are you after the other night?"

you look up at him and furrow your brows. "im fine" you say bluntly not wanting to discuss it further and especially not here. lewis nods and crosses his arms across his chest.

"you doing anything tonight?"

his question surpries you. "maybe why?"

"well maybe we could hang out?"

you smirk at his words. "that wouldn't be so bad"

lewis's eyes widen and just as he goes to speak and plan further george calls out to him.

"hey lewis me and some of the guys are going out for drinks, you coming?"

lewis looks at george and then back at you. you give him a stern look and a nod gesturing that he should go with george. he gives you a sympathetic look but you give him another look which involuntary makes him head over to george.

george stood there confused as to why his teammate was talking with his sister. you and lewis had never been introduced and you had never asked george to meet him. and from what george had seen it seemed as though the pair was friendly. part of him was convincing himself that he was being delusional and maybe simply you were congratualating him on a podium but it was the lewis had looked at you that had made him question. lewis had looked at you with a sense of desire and a sense of lust, one that would make someone question there entire existence. and yet you still hadn't the courage to admit you felt the same.

My pitch for a transformers movie

I forgot to mention that transformers are fully integrated into earth society in this universe but they're not very popular amongst most humans due to the whole "bringing an intergalactic war to our doorstep" thing.

(transcript ⬇️)

I have been daydreaming about a live action movie set post war about a human street racer and their tf car bff who have to join a redline-esqu grand prix on Velocitron. The race is for glory or w/e but is really about settling post war animosity, it gets dirty fast!

the main human was making good money in the underground racing scene but were kicked out when they realized his car was a Robot In Disguise and they assume they've been hustling. really the bot has a war injury that leaves him immobile in alt mode w/o a driver

He was a champion racer before the war and is teamed with the human to get back that glory despite his disability. Over the course they'll assemble a ragtag pit crew of obscure Bots and Cons from across the franchise to beat the odds and be a true example of "All are One"

[eemcintyre]

Random thoughts I had during my fifth viewing of the cinematic masterpiece "Cocktail" (1988)

Well... more like my 5 2/3 viewing bc I got like 2/3 through it and then my mom was like "why didn't you tell me you were gonna watch it, I would have wanted to watch it too" so I lied about how far I was through it "there's still a lot left we can start it over" and I watched the same movie almost twice in a row in the span of a few hours :)

"Wild Again" by Starship is one of the only good songs tbh, although "Addicted to Love" and "When Will I Be Loved" are also pretty alright. But the soundtrack is lowkey horrendous imo

I stand by my previous standalone post- no one has ever been that excited to get on a fkin Greyhound bus

Benefit of the bus, however- the scene with him and the baby; I feel like Tom just vibes really well w kids because he's such a smiley, fun, and chaotic lil guy and gREAT now I have baby fever again thx 💖

Oh the blatant plot exposition about his parents that they beat us over the head with oh-so-subtly

Oh the foreshadowing throughout that is even less subtle

One of my favorite quotes in any movie, bc it makes me feel better about my life being in disarray and not knowing what to do about it, I guess, is the “Most things in life, good and bad, just kinda happen to ya.”

Tom's still got his high little baby voice 😩

Even as a college graduate, the interviewing scene hits way too hard 🥲😩

Someone needs to acknowledge that the Red Eye looks like the most disgusting thing

Wish the dress shirt and tie fit had been featured more because it does things to me, but the scenes contrasting his first and second shift at the bar are when I first developed TC brain rot and fell in love w that lil goofball

I can’t judge the girl giving him the "fuck me eyes" bc have you seen him, plus she’s showing restraint compared to what I would do tbh

The adult learners usually drove me nuts in my classes (which I know is terrible but shhhhh) but I felt so bad for Sheila Rivkin

This professor really thinks he’s doing standup comedy or smth

Honey don’t put your face on the subway stairs that's arguably more disgusting than a Red Eye

The timeline of this movie is pretty hard to follow tbh; much as I adore it, you never know every time a scene changes whether it's been two days or like 3 months

What the actual fuck was the whole yuppie poet thing about- it's like when I used to watch those 60s Frankie and Annette movies where the weirdest shit would just happen for no reason and I felt like there was some social commentary or inside joke or smth that was just going way over my head that, if I had existed in that time, would have just been like "oh yeah that makes total sense"

The amount of raw sexual energy that this man exudes- I remember someone's post from a while back that was like "why is Cocktail like a 'mom' movie that all the moms are still obsessed with" but just like imagine if you saw this in theaters when it first came out

The only man allowed to wear beach shirts and look sexy, change my mind

I've always thought Elisabeth Shue is so incredibly underappreciated as an actress, smth about her line delivery and expressions just seems very genuine and naturalistic idk

She just orders “a beer” WHAT KIND???

So scary tbh how much he was becoming like Doug even being apart from him for a while

The side eye and shade Jordan gives Doug in this scene cracks me up every time without fail

The reggae singer absolutely popping tf off in his silver lamé suit ✨

Brian and Jordan both pulling the “I’m not like other girls” lmao

Sure she’s lowkey a manic pixie dream girl but I still love her

WATCH THE ROAD WHILE U DRIVIN THE CAR BRIAN 😤

If this movie was remade in modern times (God forbid) Brian would 100% be one of those guys with a hustle culture boss up motivational entrepreneur Instagram account. And Doug would perhaps be one of those cringy creepy pickup artists that talks about low-value women and compares them to horses and thinks he can mind-trick them into falling madly in love w him

If someone was waking me up early every morning to drink carrot juice I would commit crimes

The artist guy who made that exhibit looks like the oiliest man I’ve ever seen

Jordan’s dad says “bartender” like it’s a slur

When Brian tears up the check it always makes my lil heart just 💗💫🥺 the character evolution

Why did I only have this thought on my like fifth viewing of this movie, but I wonder if he hadn’t escorted Kerry back to her apartment if he would have gotten back in time to save Doug, and then who knows what would’ve happened bc then he wouldn’t have felt compelled to tell Jordan how much he really loved her and ask Pat for help and all that

WHEN HE FIGHTS EVERYONE OFF TO GET TO JORDAN what can I say, I'm a sucker for grand and melodramatic romantic gestures and proclamations of love

The teasing and singing along at the wedding is getting a little too real guys stop making this awkward 👀😬

I don’t care how unrealistic the end is, and that in real life they would have 100% soon gotten divorced, bc I want to believe that people can change and that all of the tribulation was worth it + enough for Brian to become a good dad/husband and successful but with it not being above and at the expense of his family; he would be such a fun and chaotic dad and their life would be so hectic w twins but I want to believe they could do it :( it comforts my cynical and depression-addled brain to believe they could do it :(

May I ask for another pope cody x reader?

My sweet babes! Thank you for stopping by ♥️ Let me preface this by saying, I don’t normally do requests because they stress me tf out. I can’t handle the pressure of them. 😆😭 B U T the world needs to show Pope way more love than he gets.

Soooooooo, here’s a quick lil drabble for you 😘 disclaimer: it’s been a really long time since I’ve written for Pope. I hope I still do him justice. 

Word Count: 2.3k

Playlist: Bad Moon Rising (feat. Peter Dreimanis) - Mourning Ritual

Warnings: swearing, drugs, drinking, Pope. 

“Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise“ Bad Moon Rising (feat. Peter Dreimanis) - Mourning Ritual

You sat in the cab of Deran’s truck, listening to him and Craig argue about something irrelevant. All you wanted was for them to pack their shit up and take you to the bar.

You knew you should’ve grabbed a cab, or even an uber, but no. Deran offered you a ride from the beach and you were just broke enough to use the free ride.

With an eye roll and an exasperated sigh, you laid back on the cool metal and relaxed. It wasn’t like you were in a rush. You just hated being at someone else’s mercy when it came to getting around town.

It must have been a good twenty minutes later when Deran smacked the arch of your foot making you yelp and sit up. He grinned over at you and you scowled.

“Let’s go,” His voice coming out in a whine that you knew was absolutely fake, “You’re holding us all up.”

“Yeah!” Craig yelled back, pulling himself into the passenger seat.

“For fucks sake,” You grumbled to yourself as you climbed over from the cab into the back seat, “You two are the most annoying assholes on the planet.”

They both looked back at you with matching grins.

“But, you love us,” Craig winked.

You shook your head at him and scoffed in amusement, “More like I love your drugs, but yeah sure let’s go with that.”

All three of you laughed. You loved the Cody family, having grown up with them. They were always there for you, even at your worst. You’d even met the newest member, J. He was adorable for a kid and you could see him picking up with the family super quick.

You reclined across the entire back seat with a sigh and stared up at the evening sky. There was only one brother who remained elusive, and of course that happened to be the one you wanted to see the most. You’d always harboured a crush on the oldest Cody. As ill advised as it was. 

You would never tell any of the other Cody’s about your crush but it was always there, simmering under the surface. Every time you caught a glimpse of them, you always did that cursory scan for the oldest brother, and you always came up short. It had been several months since you last saw him. 

Your body bumped along with the car as Deran drove you down to his bar. You briefly wondered if you’d get to see the one Cody you wanted to see more than the rest, but you clamped down on that hope, knowing it was all for nothing. 

Pope Cody didn’t do crowds. 

Pope Cody wasn’t a barfly. 

Pope Cody preferred quiet. 

You pulled yourself up to hover between the two front seats and immersed yourself with shooting the shit with the other Cody brothers. Letting yourself forget the pining etched deep in your chest. 

The drive to Deran’s bar wasn’t long and before you knew it, Craig was reaching out one hand to catch you as you hopped down from the back seat. Together, the three of you blew in through the back door. The bar was already packed but thanks to the fact that you rolled deep with the family, it wasn’t hard to find a seat at the bar. Deran ducked behind the counter and took up tending, while you and Craig milled around. 

Deran was nice enough to hand you the first beer on the house and you thanked him with a warm smile. From that point on, the night progressed nicely. You had flit between catching up with a few regulars and hustling a few newbies in pool. After a while though, you really needed to hit up the washroom. You didn’t particularly care to break the seal, but it had been too long a night to try and hold it any longer. 

Promising that you’d be back soon, you sank your last ball and then handed your cue over to Craig, heading off to the bathroom. 

It took you longer than you cared admit to actually get yourself righted after emptying your bladder, but between being sun tired and the few beers you’d had, it was to be expected. Finally out of the stall, you washed up quickly and then adjusted your shirt as you pushed the bathroom door open with your shoulder. As you entered the dim hallway, you stopped abruptly at the presence standing by the kitchen. You pulled back slightly, the breath catching in your throat. 

There standing in the doorway to the kitchen was Andrew “Pope” Cody.

Your heart began pounding in your chest and you felt your adrenaline spike with anticipation. You hadn’t seen him in months and now he was here, standing freely in front of you. You took a half step forward but paused. 

He hadn’t noticed you, too busy speaking with whoever was on the other side of the door. You floundered, unsure of where to go or what to do. You didn’t want to be caught standing here. He’d only assume the worst. It was in his nature to be distrustful and that wasn’t something you ever wanted him to think of of you. 

You burned through your options. Realistically, you only had two. You could turn tail and hide away in the bathroom until the coast was clear. But that also had a sure way of backfiring on you. Or you could straighten your shoulders and make your presence known. Yes, you had to take the most direct route. Swallowing your nerves, you made your decision. 

You walked down the hallway, back towards the bar and closer to the kitchen door. You made sure to walk heavily, letting your footsteps give you away. You kept your gaze trained on Pope’s profile. You felt as your stomach flipped in anticipation. You realized that you didn’t care what kind of reception he gave you, you only wanted him to see you. Maybe give yourself an opening to start a conversation. 

As you approached, you watched as Pope’s head tilted then turned to catch you walking forward. His eyes met yours and you felt as if you were caught in his gravitational pull. The world around you ceased to exist. Nothing mattered except that he was looking right at you, recognition sitting in his gaze.

Everything about him pulled you towards him. All you wanted was to get wrapped up and lost in him but instead you fought through the pull. You continued forward and then turned to exit back into the bar. Pope watching you intensely as you passed by. 

You heard Craig’s voice coming from the kitchen and you looked back to find both Pope and Craig looking at you. Craig gave you a quick smile but Pope’s expression didn’t change from his blank mask. You nodded to Craig and then slipped back into the main bar, letting the noise swallow you up. 

~(AK)~

It took you a while to balance yourself out again, after the encounter with Pope. Although, you weren’t sure you could even call it that. He didn’t even say anything to you, nor you to him. It was barely even a moment. Shaking it off, you threw yourself into another round of pool with a few friends. 

After a few shots, Craig came back to the table and leaned up beside you. You glanced at him from the corner of your eye and he caught yours with another smile, this one warmer than the last one he met you with. You smiled back, lined up your shot and then sank your ball. As you stood up, you wondered if Pope was already gone or if you could figure out a way to chase after him. 

However, when you backed away from the table to let Craig take the next shot, you felt a heat prickling on your neck. You shook the feeling off but when you looked up, you found out what was causing the feeling. Standing on the opposite side of the bar, with a beer in his hand, was Pope Cody, and he was staring at you. You met his gaze head on, unsure of what it meant that he was watching you, but damned if you wouldn’t hold his attention for as long as you could. 

You and Craig continued to play your game, racking up more money as the time went on. People still not learning to not bet against you when it came to this game, but Craig was thrilled about it because he was making bank. Finally having had enough, you called it in, splitting your winnings with Craig and pocketing your share. You stepped up to the bar, calling out for Deran and giving him a generous tip. He grinned over at you and then offered to call you a cab. You went to shake your head no, when another voice cut in. 

“I’ll drive you home.” 

Both you and Deran were stunned to see Pope standing there, offering you a ride home. Deran smirked, telling you that your secret crush wasn’t so secret after all. You opened your mouth to refuse the offer but Deran cut you off. 

“Thanks Pope,” He said, “Take good care of our girl.” 

You closed your eyes at how thick he was laying it on but when you opened your eyes again, Pope was watching you intently. You inhaled, letting the excitement masked as anxiety fill you. Pope waited for you to lead the way, and then together you both exited out the back door of the bar and into the parking lot. 

From here, Pope lead you to his truck and you climbed up into the passenger’s seat. He waited until you were settled before starting it up. You gave him your address and he nodded, turning in the direction of your apartment. The drive was comfortably quiet. There was a charged atmosphere around you, but it wasn’t one that had you on edge. It was one that had you relaxing. A feeling you knew was purely because you were in his presence. 

You knew that most people who met Pope ran scared but not you. In all the years you knew the Cody’s, he never intimidated you. He would always just be Andrew Cody to you. The oldest Cody brother. The protector. The one who would do anything for the ones that he loved. You settled further into your seat, relaxing and staring out the window at the passing scenery.

Pope didn’t try to spark up any conversation and that was perfectly fine with you. It had been a long night and the quiet he offered was welcomed. After a short time, he slowed to a stop in front of your apartment. You gazed up at the building then turned to him. 

“Thanks, Pope.” You said. 

He nodded but didn’t say anything in response. You reached for the door but then stopped yourself. This might be your only chance. You didn’t know how long it would be until you got to see him again and you’d be damned if you didn’t at least try. 

You heard as Pope said your name, noticing your hesitation, and that spurred you on. Licking your lips you turned back around and faced him. 

“It was nice to see you today,” You murmured, “Even though we didn’t get a chance to really talk.” You watched as an emotion flickered across his face but then fell back into the mask. You smiled, “Thanks again for offering to take me home.” 

Mustering up all your courage, you leaned across the seat and caught his far cheek with your palm, tugging him towards you and you pressed a kiss to his other cheek. You closed your eyes, allowing yourself a few seconds to linger, you reveled at the softness of his skin beneath your fingertips and lips. 

You broke away slowly, inching yourself back to sitting on your side of the truck, your eyes fluttering back open. Pope’s face was still tilted in the angle that you’d pulled him into but he was staring directly at you. You blinked, waiting an extra moment while he processed your advance. 

Proud of yourself for taking a chance, you smiled and went to pull your door open only to be stopped by his hand wrapping around your wrist. You paused again, looking down at his hand and then back up at him. You waited, knowing that he was working up to something, and didn’t want to rush the moment. 

“I’ll come - I’ll come check on you in the morning.” He said with a curt nod. 

You fought the urge to bite down on your lip and instead let the smile grow on your face at his statement. 

You nodded, “I’d like that.” 

After another long moment of unbreakable eye contact, he unwrapped his hand from your arm and you hopped out of his truck. You passed across the front of the it, then stepped in closer to his window as you made your way towards your building. 

“Goodnight Andrew,” You murmured as you passed his side. 

You watched as his head snapped in your direction at the use of his government name. You caught the subtle tick of his jaw and knew that response meant he liked it. You smiled one last time before turning away from him completely and letting him watch you until you were safely instead the lobby of your building. It wasn’t until you got upstairs to your apartment and looked out from the balcony that he finally drove away. Your heart fluttered, knowing that he waited to make sure that you got home safely. 

You dropped down onto your bed and grinned up at the ceiling. Pope Cody had a thing for you too.

our favorite recent tweets

You have to appreciate a good tweet or twitter thread when you see it. So here are a few of our favorites from the last 2 years.

Just putting the final touches on my sex tapes - Olivia

You know it pained us to put this one on the list, but we have to admit that this one made us laugh. We have to appreciate a good clap back when they happen.

——————————————————————————————

my mother says i've always been a serious young lady and i'm sure that's just code for not fun at all. - Joanna

At least Joanna can admit it? It sounds like we don't have to even bother to drag Joanna - her mother does plenty of that for us.

——————————————————————————————

Is it wrong if we say the whole of the LC fight? We might even dedicate a little section to it.

We know.. its a little mean. But you have to admit, objectively, that fight was hilarious. You didn't see it? Let me refresh you. Essence made a joke that he had an "amish hair cut" during a twitter q&a. After shading her on his own twitter, he responded to her asking who she was. She pointed out that she had millions more followers than him all while Quinton was obviously drunk tweeting along with her with iconic tweets like:

she’s right his head looks like a chess piece.

i thought a chess piece said smthn

The former LC member seemed to be confused on who Quinton was, claiming that he was famous because of LC.

Mia began jumping in with these iconic tweets:

someone slapping together his, idk eighth, shitty album in a year really talks alot about putting "time and effort" into his art.

my fav part is how he's acting like he's gods gift to music when no one knew who tf he was before LC and no one cares now that they're on break. All I see is a desperate money grab with all these subpar albums.

Essence jumped into responding to Mia responding that if someone is making that many albums a year - they're buying songs and slapping them together.

Mia: Right! Like, I respect the hustle but lets call it what it is. Do you but don't act like you're superior because you've released a million albums in two years?

Essence: doing the most =/= doing the best. callan and max will always be 10x more talented than him.

We've got to say - this was one of our favorite fights.

——————————————————————————————

well since y’all are here should i get my nips pierced LMAO? - Ema

Ema was a good sport about her sex tape being leaked - immediately going on twitter to ask if she should get her nipples pierced. If we're remembering right, she even made some jokes about making an onlyfans.

——————————————————————————————

List of places I've never been: 1. Cancun 2. Levi Astors DMS. 3. Antarctica. - Olivia

Olivia has had a few good clap backs over her time on twitter and this was definitely one of them. The accusations about her and Levi clearly didn't sit right with her and she had to set everyone straight. We're not sure we believe her, but that's another story.

——————————————————————————————

*levi&chloe* 6/10. shes too hot for him but it seems like she has him on a short leash so good for him! get that astor bucks. you won capitalism.

*essence & grandpa* pls turn yourself into the local police

*elsa&ryan* i dont think they're a couple but i saw a picture of them together once and you know what? good for her. she has 4th husband lined up & he has someone to help him with his mommy issues. 4/10. seek therapy.

*mitch&birdee* i hope you took so much fucking money. do you want to run him over w/ a car together? it can be a friendship activity. 0/10.

These are a series of tweets in Stella Bennett, Liv's little sister & Freddie's assistant's, ratings of celebrity couple. There were many more but here are just my favorites.

——————————————————————————————

women. that's it. that's the tweet. - daphne

We couldn't agree more.

——————————————————————————————

imagine giving birth the a man with a short dick. too many of your moms did. - chloe

Chloe has never been one to shy away from giving her opinion so her saying something like this isn't particularly shocking, but it is one of my personal favorite tweets of hers.

——————————————————————————————

Ryan's never getting an amazon delivery on time again - Levi

Levi Astor's documentary in Ryan Price's Vainglorious did cause something of a stir in their father, Mr. Astor. We need updates in Ryan's Amazon account. Is he getting random charges? Or is Mr. Astor more benevolent than we think?

[skinks]

Please Please talk to me about Maggie Tozier and what she’s like and looks like and what Dilfworth Tozier loves about her and made him put a ring on it and in general how much her two boys love her and how she loves them.

[cracks knuckles] here we go

I was looking through my copy of the book yesterday to answer this ask but then I figured, y’know what? Canon can suck it. I tend to beat myself up over accurate characterisation for Richie and Eddie, but they’re main characters, Maggie and Went are not, so the details are inconsequential. Their ages in the Dilfworth fic mean that they’d have a pretty different life experience from their book versions, what with growing up in the 60s/70s, but imo all that matters is that they love Richie and are good parents. Canon is ours now!!!

- my no.1 headcanon rn is that Maggie sings like an angel, and sings all the time. In the car, in the shower, gardening, housework, cooking. She and Went have a pretty good record collection, but if Went is listening to something and hears Maggie singing to herself in another room of the house he shuts that shit off quick so he can hear her.

- I wrote in ithots that Richie busts out into song at the drop of a hat, right? well, where Richie gets encouragement with his Voices through Went participating, Richie gets his incessant singing from Maggie, because he grew up in a household where that was welcomed.

- Maggie doesn’t even notice she’s doing it until Richie joins in, or she turns around and sees Went gazing at her all dopey, and she gets self-conscious

- until Went is like “I don’t know why. You know I think you’re a songbird” and then grins and calls her Magpie. She says stop. He says, Maggie-pie? She throws a dishcloth at him but secretly loves it because she fell in love with how frank and practical he is most of the time, but also how silly he is only when it comes to her and Richie.

- he only calls her that when they’ve had one too many anyway, otherwise it’s all sweetheart, honey, darling, Mags. Marguerite, in Richie’s stupid French Waiter Voice. “Yes ma’am” for when he’s rearranging her guts. Maggie’s the one to call him “my love” the first time, but she said it kinda exaggerated and jokey, and Maggie just doesn’t joke the way Went and Richie do so Richie noticed the way his dad just cracked tf up and was like wow, Mom must be really, really funny

- so y’know how Richie calls Eddie “my love” in the book, and is generally quite physically affectionate? He picks all that up from his parents, watching their example. Wants to make Eddie laugh like that

- for some reason I always imagine she speaks like, French or Italian fluently. I’m stealing @honeyreynolds hc that her maiden name is Avery for Tex Avery, but maybe her own mother was European. She tries to speak French with Richie as a baby/toddler so that he’ll be bilingual, and she’s so proud/frustrated because he’s clearly smart and has a knack for linguistic imitation, but his attention span is just. Non existent

- still makes lil kid Richie giggle by doing exaggerated Italian and making him guess what she’s saying

- I think she’s pretty elegant and reserved and almost shy on the surface with a rly wry sense of humour, so people tend to think she’s snooty, but she’s just... so concerned with keeping the peace and not saying anything bad about someone. Tries to see the best in people. This can lead to a lot of embarrassment when Went is so upfront and medical-frank about stuff or if Richie’s being a dumbass in public, but really she just envies their typically masculine lack of inhibition

- this is because she’s got this killer wicked streak. Maggie’s got a hidden well of scathing diatribes and Went knows it because

- they met on a plane in 1971 when Maggie was flying back to college for her final semester of senior year, and the man in the seat next to her started having an attack of some kind. The stewardesses appeal desperately for any doctors on board, nobody answers. Anyone at all? We’ll have to land the plane! Maggie’s trying to slowly shift away from this man and his spasms without seeming rude when she hears a deep sigh in the seat behind her and someone saying “I’m ethically bound to admit I have a licence in dentistry,” in a voice like he’s in on some joke nobody else knows.

- this guy unfolds the longest legs she’s ever seen and comes to squat right next to her and her apparently dying seat partner, she notices he’s nice looking and keeps glancing at her, there’s banter. Eventually he shrugs and is like “imo this man has a bad case of wind.” And Maggie just TEARS Went a new one like oh nice diagnosis DOCTOR DENTIST where’s your seatside manner?!?! what kind of name is WENTWORTH anyway! and Went’s like 👀😳😍 and then the dying man lets out a giant fart and Maggie recoils, all her pretty poise and indignation turning to base disgust and Went bursts out laughing and offers her the seat next to him

- turns out his first residency is in the next town from Maggie’s college. She’s only dated preppy meatheads before who only ever tried to flatter her and stopped listening when she talked about her music theory degree or the books she likes. But Went always grins and side-eyes her and cranks the volume whenever Maggie May comes on the hits station, because then she’ll whack him with a book. She’s so SWEET he loves goading her into releasing some more of that plane rage, like one day she’s prowling on the edge of a rant about her TA and trying to be reasonable. Went’s like, do it. You’ll feel better. So she fuckin rants her head off for ten minutes until her hair’s all dark and wild like an Arthurian queen and she looks over at Went reclining all impressed on her dorm bed and he’s like. I have never been more in love in my life. Can you sit on my face and make fun of my name again

- so yeah they’re both like, quietly distinguished and outwardly calm model citizens of Derry but in private Went is the fuckin roastmaster and is Maggie’s outlet for frustration whenever housewife suburbia gets too much

- I always picture her as having dark and quite curled hair, sort of Lauren Bacall eyes, and she’s probably tall too. Like 5’8 to Went’s 6’0 or 6’1 which is why Richie turns out to be 6’2 lmao. A family of giants. Honestly the whole time I was writing the Dilfworth fic I was imagining Mary Elizabeth Winstead, that’s my early-30s Maggie that Went is so excited to come home he’s stocking up on condoms. God I bet she’s got some of those single dark beauty mark freckles on her stomach 🥵 Wears hats with big brims. Sundresses. Secretly likes to pretend she’s on a mysterious trip to Rome as she sits in the park watching Richie catch dragonflies. Maybe when she’s older and Richie’s a teenager she looks kinda like Olivia Williams, bc I’ve had a big milfy thing for her ever since she was the mother in the 2003 Peter Pan.

- most kids in Derry have a crush on either Richie’s mom or dad or both and this is unfortunately quite damaging to his self esteem, even though Maggie INSISTS he’s just so handsome. She hates seeing him so insecure

- she tried pot once in college and hated it. The only times she comes close to getting hammered is on book club wine because it’s the only way she can get through them asserting the female orgasm doesn’t exist, then she comes home mildly tipsy and joins in on Went and Richie’s raucous game of cards

- felt a bit left out when Richie was small, with how well Went was able to go along with the silliness. Went sees this and gets Richie to make up a game where she’s Queen Margaret of the Tozier Court and made Richie a knight. They all spoke in bad Medieval Voices all afternoon, and it becomes one of those super long-running family jokes, and Maggie still feels all happy inside whenever Queen Margaret comes up

- ruthless decision maker!!! She had to be, because Went’s so laidback he’s horizontal and is always like “idc what we do as long as you guys are chill” and Richie can’t concentrate long enough to pick what colour gumball he wants, so she has to be staff sargeant. They go to Disneyland and she’s like C’MON BOYS HUP HUP HUP and Went’s like “oh cripes son we’re being hustled!!” but they love it as much as she loves them doing what she says

- great cook because of her indeterminidely Mediterranean mother.

- she genuinely wants to understand Richie’s strangeness but is also stumped as to what to do to bond with him, since she can only think of things she’d do with a daughter. She WANTS to brush Richie’s curls and bake with him but she thinks he wouldn’t like it, so they stick with singing. Is delighted when Eddie very politely and very intensely asks for her help making Richie a birthday cake. She sees how different they are together, and remembers Richie coming home at 5 years old declaring he was gonna marry Eddie Kaspbrak when he grows up, and she thinks... well, if I must have a son-in-law, I would love this one as much as I love my son.

This is how I understood the whole Reddit vs Wall Street GameStop situation:

Lets say stocks are a car

Their owner is a mafia boss

Short-stockers are Little Ed

And Reddit is Jerry

So up until recently Little Ed would borrow mafia boss' car to let it go for a spin around the block. But in reality Little Ed was hustling by selling the car, then spreading rumours there's blood and dead bodies in the boot, forcing the buyer to sell it back to Little Ed for a much lower price. Little Ed gets money, mafia boss gets his car back.

Now one day he decided to sell it to Jerry, not knowing that Jerry is actually a total nerd for mafia, always wanted that car, and just generally hate Little Ed. So Little Ed tries the same old method but this time it doesn't work. Little Ed begins to panic. Jerry won't sell it back to Little Ed unless he paid much more than he sold it for. But then other people also want this famous rare car so they are willing to offer more than Little Ed. And mafia boss is starting to ask where tf did his car go. So now Little Ed needs to spend all of his money and a wallet, as well as borrow or get into a massive debt to buy the car back, for if he doesn't, mafia boss will pay him a visit and, at the very least, break his kneecaps. Out-hustled, Little Ed is super desperate and mega pissed, so he tries to use his connections to outlaw whatever it is that Jerry is doing.

Euphoria: The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Pee While Depressed (1X7)

1. Cassie/Lexie’s dad can GET IT

2. Lexie was reaaaally going through it during puberty 😂 still love her ♥️

3. Of course we gotta have the pervy ass uncles that definitely need to share a cell with the Jacobs

4. I had a feeling the car crash scene was the dad but I thought he would’ve died. I think it is very interesting and very to theme that majority of these characters have some sort of addiction

5. I think it’s very telling with Cassie/Lexie’s dad with how he was the handsome guy everyone liked then turned drug addict

6. Extreme close up of Cassie’s eye crying was an amazing shot

7. I CANT BELIEVE RUE IS WATCHING LOVE ISLAND!!! I literally have tabs open ready to watch it after Euphoria 😂😂

8. Okay so I’m waiting for Lexie to get her shine... like they need to show her off in s2 like sis did not come to play games!!

9. I’m feeling this whole detective Rue/Lexie duo out here solving shit and putting pieces together lol (BROO RUE PUT THAT TYLER SHIT TOGETHER WITH THE QUICKNESS, that shit went way OVER my head 🤣🤣)

10. Soo Jules likes Nate... I know Nate likes Jules like deep down. (Which in the conversation about femininity makes sense. Nate is oozing (toxic) masculinity so I can see why being with him might seem like she’s more feminine bc of the girls he usually goes for

11. BRO I totally didn’t piece together that THAT Daniel was Daniel Daniel! Kat’s boo from 6 grade 🥴 (I know that asshole lying when he said he didn’t remember them together 😒

12. So Kat’s a cunt because she’s not at Maddy’s beck and call every time Maddy and Nate break up? Girl bye tf

13. Okay honest opinion, do y’all like the tangents Rue goes on about random shit? Like bladders and peeing?

14. Rue’s mama got a type 😎

15. Rue and Gia need to have a serious talk

16. Fez is such a good listener 😂 “Trust me Rue, she not gonna gossip”

- I wonder how old Fez is compared to Rue only because he’s referring to her as “kid”

- Okay I was wondering when the camera was gonna focus on grandma for a visual but I was NOT expecting tig ole bitties front and center

18. Y’all got me FUCKED UP with those damn talking pill bottles

19. “Children are fucking scary” lmao they aren’t Chuckie Dolls dude. Okay I saw some people coming at McKay for his reaction. Uhhh I think he can’t force Cassie to do anything but I don’t think it was wrong for McKay to express that he wasn’t ready to be a dad. I think it is wrong that the guy’s opinion has to be immediately shut down if it isn’t 1000% in favor of what the girl wants. Being a father will affect him too if Cassie decides to keep it

20. Kat talking to a fucking black screen huffing and puffing in some type of audio modifier was SKETCHY AS HELL! That whole screen creeped me the fuck OUT! I know a lot of people think it’s Nate but nah fam I don’t think so, HOWEVER I do believe that it is someone she knows. So many things wrong with this. 1st off the screen is pitch black so you don’t know what the other person looks like or if they are filming you. 2nd their voice is modified which should also tell you that it could be someone you know 3rd. Y’all notice how she was taking orders from him? He was telling HER to take HER clothes off

(PS. Did y’all catch what he said at the end that scared the hell outta Kat to shut her computer?)

21. Jules’s imagination is dominating Nate hmmm. There is just too much toxic shit involved like yikes. I do think aside from cat fishing Jules, Nate was being real and true about his feelings and the things that he said to her. Now I definitely think Nate deserves JAIL but that’s just what I notice

22. I love Fez riding for his friend! I just think Fez shot himself in the foot because he didn’t know the entirety of the crazy fucked up shit Nate was doing and just put himself in the lions den threatening Nate. You knooow I think Fez and Ashtray could’ve hid the drugs under his grandma? Or something idk. All those damn pills there is no way they flush it all down. You know maybe Fez could go to jail because of a gun related charge? Drugs would be tooo easy! I know Rue mentioned it so it could be a possibility?

Trailer predictions: I think Rue will catch Gia doing drugs and tell their mom and Gia will DENY DENY DENY and blame it on Rue’s addiction issues. I think papa Jacobs is going to find out about Nate looking at his self porn stash and confront him and Nate’s sexuality will be questioned. I think since Nate messes with Fez’s hustle Fez will get payback. Cassie will get an abortion. Rue will confront Nate at homecoming? Someone is gonna fucking die! I know that (we I don’t but I wanna feel confident about this)! Gosh Ethan might find out about Kat and webcaming. Kat’s secret creep-like admirer will be revealed!!

                                           𝔫𝔞𝔱𝔞𝔩𝔦𝔫𝔞 𝔠𝔩𝔞𝔯𝔢 𝔨𝔦𝔫𝔤

chicago’s very own natalina king has been spotted on madison avenue driving a rolls royce dawn , welcome ! your resemblance to barbara palvin is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty-third birthday bash  . your chance of surviving new york is uncertain because you’re hedonistic, but being committed might help you.

 i think being a aries explains that .  3 things that would paint a  better picture of you would be ashes on silk dresses, lines on bathroom sinks and loose hundreds in small purses. 

( she stole from her trust fund money and became a drug dealer, now supplying a lot of her entourage without her parents’ knowledge  ) & cisfemale + she/her 

bonjour, y’all! the name’s lana and this is my drug dealer mess of a child natalina! under the cut, you’ll find some background info that I have for her! not very developed right now bc she’s a brand new babe but hopefully i’ll be able to flesh her out with connections and stuff 😊 really excited to be here <33 

triggers: drugs, crime (?) 

BACKGROUND & STORY 

born to famous homeboi (insert a fancy job i have yet to determine here)  daniel king and his second wife vivienne reid

mommy is a designer and so natalina started pageants at a very young age, following on her sisters’ footsteps (she got two, connections hollaaa) 

she eventually started modeling for her mother’s line but quickly realized she really wasn’t made for that and rlly didn’t like 

she adored the spotlight but hated the work that came with it. she would find herself looking for the wealthiest of her parents’ friends instead and networking here and there, mostly out of boredom but also bc rich people just fascinated tf outta her 

at 19, she was introduced to the world of drugs and substances and quickly grew a liking to the high

she fell in love with the man who supplied her with all her goods and he showed her the tricks of the trade. very much stupid and naive at the time, she wasted no time in helping him out by providing him full access to her trust-fund money so he could grow his business

soon enough, she was making clients of her own, mostly at her mother’s shows and her father’s fancy events. nat quickly realized that literally everyone who attended those affairs had a dependence of some sort and it wasn’t long before she started supplying everyone around her 

when she turned 21, her mans got charged and locked up and she was left with a decision: take over his hustle or go back to her boring socialite life 

ofc, we been known she doesn’t know how to make decisions so she went for the fun option and managed to keep business booming 

now that she had access to most of the resources and having learned from the best, she quickly made a name for herself and is now the go-to for any substance need in her circle 

though she still hides it from her parents and has repaid what was taken from her accounts, she's very dedicated to her hustle. 

because she’s always liked painting, she’s made them believe that she’s been selling her work to justify the income. so far, her parents are uninterested enough to believe her 

she enjoys the steadiness of the cash flow and finds her ‘craft’ quite soothing. when she’s not selling, she’s out partying or shopping, or traveling. if her parents cared in the slightest, they wouldn’t really approve but  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

FACTS 

her ‘career’ is technically modeling but she only does it to please her mom and to shut her up at dinner. she doesn’t agree to many shows anymore but just enough to keep up appearances

she’s really good at math and that’s how she was able to help her ex-boyfriend at the time but homegirl can’t finish a book to save her life 

she will blow all of her money on pretty dresses, cars, and shoes bc college just ain’t an option rn 

 she actually does paint but no one really knows bc she’s very private abt that side of her 

she does a lot of drugs and no one gives a fuck around her so she’s like “meh, why should I, then” and so we’ll see where that takes her 

literally no ragrets/remorse, ever. she’s sold to people who ended up in the hospital/rehab but she’s grown desensitized to the whole thing and doesn’t really believe it’s her responsibility to monitor people’s consumptions (i can already hear you, quite the mother theresa, eh?)

honestly, she’s quite garbage but she knows how to have fun and gives mean head so hollaaaa

[aliferous-ly]

As the Certified SDV Anon, I feel obligated to say FARMER AND CITY BOY TROPE (i i get moxiety feels with that personally)

YESSSSS OH MY GOD IM !!!!!!! GEEKING

I like, adore the thought of farmer Virgil, who hides away and only comes out on a blue moon, who sells his produce on the DL, doesn't interact much . He's the farmer who's stuff is always gorgeous and amazing, and his surpluses he'll leave on various people's doorsteps , he lives on much of what he grows.

City boy Patton , though, I'm mmmmm yes. He loves the hustle and bustle of everyone, seeing the glimpses of people's lives. He has an office job, sorta, one that involves managing people. He's everyones favorite, because he's compassionate. But his true passion is writing

Patton who wears cute clothes and has an adoration that the city couldn't stomp out, goes to the countryside on the recommendation of a coworker -- she even rented her cottage to him. So he goes and falls in love with the area, and the nearby town is adorable, of course I'm adding sdv vibes I can't NOT

The other townspeople think he's a little weird, with his accent and priorities and the way he interacts with the world, but in a good, genuine way. One day, while chatting with some of the townspeople at a dinner party he was invited to, they mention Virgil -- the ever elusive farmer down the road. Patton immediately wants to meet him, right?

So he goes down the road and finds this frankly adorable farmhouse and knocks but, nobody answers. So he goes out back and oh no, oh, oh no

Virgil's out back, pulling weeds, wearing a sunhat and pants and big heavy boots and nothing else

So Patton's , out for the count, bright red, sputtering out a "hello! I'm Patton it'snicetomeetyou!"

And Virgil startles, stands up straight, squints, and sees this stammering, short, handsome man with light clothes and a harsh sunburn across his nose and cheeks. He makes his way over to Patton and the closer he gets the worse the sunburn appears, and he's like wow that's, devastating, damn

While Patton is currently Dying, Thank You because this gorgeous man is getting closer gETTING CLOSER --! and then he starts to Talk and his voice is absolutely Beautiful

So they meet. And Virgil's like "idk why tf you came all the way down here to meet me, I'm not much" while Patton, fanning himself, says "hahahahaha don't sell yourself short-" because well he still hasn't put a shirt on and he has the farmer tan going on and everything

The entire interaction is Patton panicking and Virgil being Very Confused, why is this Beautiful Man talking to him, What is Happening

So later Patton goes by more and more and he brings pies he learns how to make and the first one is frankly atrocious and Virgil laughs at him but promises to teach him how to make an Actual Pie. cue adorable kitchen antics

But as time goes on Virgil becomes more and more scared because, originally, it was just a one and done same relationship with the rest of the town, but now he genuinely wants to keep talking with Patton. He wants to be Patton's friend. and sometimes he wants to kiss him, too

But for now it's fine. It's fine.

Until, of course, it isn't.

Because Patton can't stay forever -- he has to go back to work sometime, back to the quick coffee runs and honking cars and stainless steel elevators. And Patton mentions this to Virgil and Virgil just, shuts down. He hates the city, more than he can say. And he hates that Patton is leaving. Virgil wants to say, "stay here, stay with me, I can change the art room into your room, or you could sleep with me, I could work harder and raise prices and I know there's enough food for both of us."

but he doesnt

and because he's scared, and vulnerable, he becomes sharp and jagged and Patton wants to stay with him one last time before leaving but they have a fight over it, Virgil saying he's just going to go back to his life and forget about "all of us jokes", and he's mean. Patton recoils, because he's trying, but there's only so much someone can put up with. They part on bad terms

So Patton's back in the city, much sadder, because he -- loved, Virgil, loves him. And Virgil's back home, depressed because wow, he just pushes everyone away, doesnt he?

And the coworker who rented her place out to Patton hears about all this and essentially goes "jfc", goes to her house and almost breaks the door down to Virgil's house. It's midnight, because she had to drive there after work, and it's six hours away, and he's like "okay wtf" and she tells him off for hurting Patton and for not bucking up and telling Patton how he felt. And Virgil's .. both indignant and upset because yeah she's right..

So he asks her if he can hitch a ride back and she agrees, only if he drives because she's uh exhausted (he doesn't have a car, only a worn down pickup that isn't licensed, to move produce)

And he shows up at Patton's apartment, after the nightmare that is the City, at 7 am, tired, bags dark under his eyes, wearing an old coat and an older flannel. And he apologizes, explains how scared he is, that he can't live in the city, but he feels deeply about Patton and doesn't want to screw things up because he was being stupid.

So Patton invites him in, makes him some tea, and accepts his apology, and they just. Talk. About everything. And anything.

LISTEN IM SOFT OKAY

so they make an agreement to see each other as often as possible, and Patton starts to transition into a part time gig at his place that's all online, and then, eventually, he -- moves in, with Virgil. There's a big going away party at his work (even though he'll go back for certain aspects of his job) and then he's , there. And they're always around each other, Virgil teaching him various aspects of the job and they just. Love each other and live in the same house and AGJ im soft

I imagine Virgil proposes first after freaking out all day and when he gets down on one knee Patton squeals and runs into the house, grabbing his ring from the nightstand drawer and running back out, back to Virgil who was panicking even more because when your partner's first response to a proposal is to Run Away that can't be a good sign, right? but then he's back , with a ring in his hand, and oh, oh

And then they get married and it's all very soft thank u for coming to my ted talk

Hurt

Reader request for some Marco goodness with disapproving parents (although who tf would not approve of their daughter dating the golden boy??)

Warnings: car accident, parent drama

——————————————————————-

“Marco? Marco, are you there?”

Marco sat up at the sound of her voice, wondering how he had managed to answer the phone in his sleep.

“Hey, baby, yeah I’m here, I’m here. What’s up, are you ok?”

“Not... not really. Can you come to the hospital?”

Marco flew out of bed and grabbed blindly at his nightstand for his keys. “What happened, are you hurt? I’m on my way right now baby, right now.”

“I’m ok. Well, I broke my arm. There was an accident.”

Marco felt his heart stop. “An accident?”

“It’s ok, except for my arm everything is fine. Really. Just please come get me.”

Marco drove as fast as he dared through the dark deserted streets, fully intending to play the celebrity card should he get pulled over. He tried to control his breathing, to quell the panic in his chest. She said she was fine, she said she was fine. Why had she only just now called him though? If she was ready for him to pick her up she had obviously already been there for awhile.

Her parents, he thought. Of course they had been there, and they would not have wanted him there. He felt that familiar mix of anger and sadness rise up, and he tried to ignore it. Now was not the time. He needed to get to her.

His saw her waiting at the entrance as he pulled in and his stomach lurched. Why was she outside? Why wasn’t she in the lobby or something? What in the hell was going on? He pulled to a stop in front of her and practically leapt out of the car, hustling around to her. Her right arm was encased in a bright yellow cast, hung in a sling, but she looked otherwise unharmed just as she’d told him she was. When he got to her, though, he could see her eyes were red and her cheeks tear-stained and he felt his heart break.

“Oh baby, hey, come here, I’m here now, it’s ok.” He wrapped her in the tightest embrace he could muster and she melted into him, letting out a heavy sigh as a weight seemed to lift from her shoulders. He pressed his lips to the top of her head and breathed in the familiar scent of her shampoo. She was here, in his arms, and she was OK. His own weight lessened.

She stirred after a moment. “Can we go to your place?”

He pulled back and looked at her. “Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Ok.” He opened the passenger door for her before walking around to start the car. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time she’d stayed the night with him, but he was pretty sure it would be the first weeknight and he’d expected to take her back to her parents’ house. He decided not to press the issue and just rested his hand on her thigh as he pulled out of the parking lot and headed home.

They rode in silence for a bit. She stared out the window at the city going by, and he tried to focus on the road. She finally broke the silence with a sigh. “Thank you for coming to get me.”

“Baby, you don’t need to thank me. I love you, I’d do anything for you.”

She turned her head and smiled at him. “I know. But thank you anyway.”

He squeezed her leg and winked at her. “Lucky for you I went shopping today and stocked up on those ice cream bars you love so much.”

She shifted her body to face him, reaching out with her uninjured arm to stroke his cheek. “You’re a good man. I’m lucky to have you. I don’t know why they can’t see that.”

He took her hand in his, pressed it to his lips and held it there. He didn’t say anything until they were parked in his driveway. “What happened tonight?”

She cast her eyes down. “It was so stupid. I ran a stop sign and another car hit me. I just didn’t see it, it was just an accident, you know? But once my parents got to the hospital my dad started in on how I was never this stupid until I started dating you, which is the dumbest thing. How the hell could it be your fault that I ran a stop sign? People do it every day, plus how am I stupid when I’m one single term away from finishing my degree? He doesn’t have a degree. He was just looking for yet another reason to dig into me about us, about how he raised me to be better than some dumb WAG.”

“Some dumb WAG? Did he seriously say that?” Marco felt his jaw tighten.

“Yeah. And Mom just stood there nodding. So I told them to leave. Then it really got ugly. They said if I wanted to throw my life away for a footballer that I wouldn’t do it under their roof. I think I just got kicked out.”

Marco sat in stunned silence. She was still looking at her lap, her free hand fiddling with her sweatshirt’s zipper. He could see tears glistening in her eyelashes. He clenched his fists, ready to strangle the people responsible for her pain. But he let it go. He unbuckled, got out, and walked around to open her door.

He held out a hand to help her out of the car, closing the door behind her. He took her face in his hands and tilted her head so she’d look him in the eye. “You are not some dumb WAG. You are a smart, kind, loving, gorgeous WAG and I’m the luckiest man in the world.” The tears started to fall then, and he pulled her to him, wrapping her tightly in his arms. “You live here now. I’ll send movers to get your stuff tomorrow. OK?”

“But my parents....”

“Are more than welcome to visit when they can speak to you in a civil manner and not treat you like dirt because of who you happen to love.”

She pulled away from him. “You’re seriously asking me to move in with you.”

“I think I’m actually telling you to move in with me, but we can say it’s asking.” He grinned at her.

She bit her lip. “Yeah. Yeah, that would be good. Yeah. Let’s do it. I’m gonna move in with you.”

His grin widened, and he scooped her into his arms and spun her around, causing her to squeal. “Marco I swear to god if you drop me...” He shushed her with a kiss.

“Come on, let’s get you into bed.”

“Our bed,” she said with a smile.

[the-energon-hole]

Your top three bots in TF having fun for a while with Human friend. (Not an S/O)

((A/N Now when you said top 3 bots- I had to stop myself from writing Optimus Prime from 3 separate continuities lol. Optimus Prime is the love of my life my good boy, in any continuity he is good. I Just picked my top 3 from the first continuities I could think of. Also sorry if some of these seem short- I have been having bouts of paranoia and I’m trying to distract myself by doing requests. This is a queued post and it’s a little early in the morning but I’m to paranoid to fall asleep…))

Transformers Animated

Optimus Prime

-Even though he completes all of his training, and was an official Prime, sometimes he never felt like he really fit into that title. Certainly, he thought he was a good and kind leader, someone his bots can turn to if they were in trouble and needed someone to bail them out, but he sometimes wished he had more time to goof off a little and be the yong bot he used to be in the academy. He had so much fun in those days, causing trouble and being a nuisance, that was why he gave Bumblebee and Bulkhead so many breaks- they were young and restless just the same as he was, only he finished majority of his training before he was prematurely kicked out in shame for what he and Sentinel did to poor Elita-One. He got what he wants in the end though- a loyal crew, his own ship, and a planet that needed him to protect it from the forces of evil that threatened the sentient life that inhabits this world. He couldn’t help but be a little selfishly and miss the good old days where he was the pick of the pack, and was highly prized for his appearance and his service- he missed causing trouble and being able to get away with it because of who he was. He knew it was very shallow and aclouse for him to think like this, but sometimes you can’t help but let that little dark corner in your processor take control and fill your conscious mind with thoughts of the what ifs and the have nots. He fully believed there was no such thing as a bad person, just people who did bad things, and it was enough to justify him wanting to be the big man on campus again like he used to be- to be able to act as Sentinel Prime does without so much as a repercussive action taken against you.

-You felt the same way at times, being an adult meant you had a lot of responsibility thrust upon you even if you didn’t want it to be- you can’t make a mistake like you could when you were younger and have people tell you that it was ok because you were young, and that you still had time to rectify a situation because you were naive and small. Well, you were still naive and small, just older and and had to much to think about in one day- bills, taxes, cars, money, work, food, rent. It was all too much for you and sometimes you just want to go back to being a kid again.Back to the times where people believed in you because you had potential to learn and grow, and back to when you had no responsibilities beyond that of homework and being to school on time. You can’t say you had an enjoyable experience in school, but it was a consistent and it was predictable- you knew the system. If you could go back, you would cause more chaos and do more bold things that you wished you could have. People would have said “oh, kids will be kids” and let you do so much junk, it was no wonder some of those jerks in school were so smug about getting away with bad behavior- if you would have known that you could have gotten away with all this junk, you would have done it more. You wouldn’t have been so prim and proper, and you would have been more of a jerk- oh, if only you could go back.

-This was something you an Optimus bonded over, strangely enough, it almost felt like you two were old biddies lamenting about good times past. It was comical in a way, two accomplished people complaining and being a bit selfish pinning for a world long since passed. You both knew you could never go back- but it was always fun to joke about what you would do if you went back- “That mean girl in school, boy would I give her such a problem if I could go back and change things” you know he didn’t understand what that meant, and you didn’t understand what he meant when he said things like “I would get a better score than Sentinel in the simulator, and then rub his stupid chin in it” but you were all for it and would goad him on with encouragement. You looked forward to your little sessions with the Prime, it was therapeutic in a way- and you always felt closer to him when you two would laugh about pretend conquests and lost opportunities. It was really just a fun contest between friends, because in the end you both wouldn’t change a thing about your pasts- you knew it and he knew it, you were the product of your past, and it was what made you both so great.

Transformers Prime

Arcee

-She felt a little pent up and trapped, it wasn’t that she hated this planet- in fact she felt this place was rather beautiful and even harmonious. It was just she had no luxuries like she had on Cybertron, nothing to entertain her or anything to do that wouldn’t expose her or her fellow bots to the human population. It was a little lonely when she stopped to think about it, certainly she had all her friends at the base, but she misses socializing and being surrounded by those who were just like her. She also had to admit she wasn’t a big fan of her surroundings, all this beauty in the world and they were stuck in the middle of nowhere Nevada with nothing around but desert and prickly plants for miles and miles. She knew it was probably the best hideout that they could get, but she missed being able to walk around in the warm sun amongst all the hustle and bustle of everyday life that existed on cybertron- that same energy existed here on earth, she just wasn’t able to be apart of it in her robot mode.

-You felt like you have been in this one town your whole life, not that it was a bad place to live- it just felt repetitive and sour seeing all the same people all the time doing the same things. There was an undeniable call to adventure that existed within you that you wanted to so badly answer, but the lack of time and money was a big factor in your inability to travel to far away places. If you could, you would just drop everything for awhile and just explore this world you find yourself placed on- but life doesn’t work that way sadly, at least not for the impoverished and the weak. You would give anything to answer the call to adventure, even the life you worked so hard to build up and maintain. It was your life after all, and no one had the right to tell you how to live it, just sometimes you were to weak to take that step forward.

-Arcee was there to change that- you two always managed to slip away and just forget about life for a long while. It wasn’t the hustle and bustle that Arcee wanted, but it was better to get out and just drive kn one direction for hours until you ended up in a different place than from whence you started. You were a good travel companion, and you always had information about the places that you two found yourselves in, it was interesting to learn about all of these places, even if she doesn’t retain all the information you tell her. You knew it was good for her to get out and explore, and it was good for you to, as being pent up and trapped was never a good feeling. Whenever life gives you the opportunity to travel you take it, and thanks to Arcee, you get that opportunity much more often. You felt lucky to have such a wonderful friend like Arcee, she understood the need to get away and cool off for a while, and she also understood that call to adventure- it was why she was an Autobot in the first place.

Transformers Robots in Disguise (2015)

Strongarm

-You were ecstatic to be lucky enough to be around beings from a completely different planet, those that were grown and evolved in a completely different way than the human race that came into existence. You weren’t allowed to tell anyone about your transforming friends, but that doesn’t stop you from nagging and asking for all the information you can about their culture and lifestyles. Most bots got sick of your prodding and poking for information, but Strongarm was always there to share anything and everything she could about Cybertron and its rules and laws. In a lot of ways they were similar to those that existed on Earth, which made your friends relate to you all the more- in the end your species were not that different, and you were all just life forms trying to get by in an uneven and unfair world. You loved finding these similarities and sharing them with your friends, but again it would appear only Strongarm cares about your research and similarities in species.

-Strongarm was more than willing to share everything she could about her home planet- as sharing helped ease her homesickness and despair about being stuck on Earth. She never got tired of sharing her optimistic knowledge with you, as you were just as excited to share with her. It was nice knowing all these similarities existed, and it helped her settle more and more into her new planet’s surroundings. She considered herself lucky to have you as a friend, even if Sideswipe and Grimlock didn’t like all your questions- it was their loss really, as your enthusiasm for their culture brought a warm feeling into her spark. It was always fun to just sit and share information with each other, it was a nice break from all of your responsibilities of everyday life.

-You both also shared sometimes grim information about your planet’s and those who inhabit them. Cybertron was far from perfect, and since the war with Decepticons all those years ago- it has delved into a more militaristic form of rule and law. Police officers and soldiers were highly revered in their culture,and other aspects of their society suffered for it. That was relatable to all the different cultures that existed on Earth, as almost all of them and glaring flaws that have yet to be addressed- mostly how almost all cultures encourages some kind of discrimination against other humans. You described what nationalism was to Strongarm once, and she didn’t really understand it, all of you are humans as all of them are Cybertronians- all are one in their culture, even if it isn’t always practiced. Decepticons can be treated unfairly at times, but there were rules in place to stop that. You always lamented how there are rules here to, just no punishments are placed enough to stop people from doing things like that. You both want to change so much, but it’s a slow change that will take years- it was nice to talk about it though.

Reveling in Richonne

#62: The Cat (7x10)

The cat. The cat. The cat. 🐱 Whoever sat in that writers room and thought to put this in this episode I have to tell them; Thank you one thousand times! It was amazing. In every way. 👏🏽👏🏽

And the fact that this was done in 7x10 when in 6x10 Richonne was officially born. 😭 Too much good stuff! It was like an anniversary gift and I’m so here for it. 🙌🏾

So before this solid gold moment, I love the shot we get of Rick and Michonne when some of the Trash Trio remind them that they want guns soon.

Like one; last time we saw R&M they were standing in different areas, but of course now they’re side by side once again. Two; it reminded me of a similar shot of them in the Kingdom…

These shots are great cuz first; the king and queen vibes are everything. And second; it really makes R&M feel like partners and a package deal. They are going into any new territory as a unit and they always mirror each other without even realizing it. 

And it’s subtle but you can see Rick look over to Michonne as the trash people walk away and I feel like he’s low key acknowledging how odd these trash folk are. 😂

And then, the next time we see these two, they are standing extra close to each other near that car as the rest of TF load stuff up. I love the way R&M are standing and facing each other in this shot. Like you can tell that their focus is only on each other in this moment.

And Michonne is really sounding like a wife when she says, “Once we get you stitched up, we’ll go right back out and find the guns, right?” Like I love that she says “we” and that she just automatically knows that they’re going to go get these guns together.

I always did wonder how it ended up that Rick and Michonne would be the only two who went on the gun run, but I feel like it’s in this moment where they both knew they wanted to do the run with just the two of them lol. 😋

And I love that she says, “right?” because neither of them ever command the other, they always speak in a way where they allow the other to co-sign and for it to be a joint decision.

And Rick says, “That’s right.” Again, I love how they always verbally validate each other. And you can literally hear the contentment in his voice. Like Homeboy is just in the best mood rn. ☺️

And then Michonne asks “Do you have any idea where?” and Rick says again with so much contentment and optimism “No, but that’s never stopped us before.”

First; The “us”. He means the two of them. Like Rick is so over the moon about the fact that he and Michonne are such a power couple and I love how hopeful he’s feeling. We really haven’t seen Rick be this hopeful in a minute and of course it’s Michonne who has gotten him to this point.

And I love that they are already standing so close, but Rick steps even closer when he says this cuz he really wants her to know by “us” he means the two of them lol.

And then the smile Michonne has when he says this is so sweet cuz you know she loves his hopefulness and his belief in them, cuz she believes in them too. Plus, you can tell she low key thinks his cheery mood is the cutest thing. 😋

And then Rosita tries it when she attitudinally tells them it’s time to go. I was like, “Rosita, girl…

And I’m glad that they didn’t listen to her and just hop in the car, cuz then we wouldn’t have got another one of my top ten Richonne moments. 😍

Rick says “Hold on” and then he hustles over to somewhere. I love that you see him hustle over cuz it doesn’t matter how injured he is, Homeboy is going to accomplish this goal. And he walks over to this cat sculpture…

He takes it and then walks/limps right back over to Michonne and she laughs and says, “Why are you…” I love this response from her cuz I love the playful aspect of their relationship. 

And you can tell she’s so amused and charmed by him before she even knows what he’s up to. And he really knows how to make her smile.

He hands her the cat and it legit looks like he’s handing her roses or something. Like all of a sudden this cat from the trash place looks like the sweetest gift possible. 😊 And then he says, “Because we won” And, again, you know he’s talking about the two of them. And I feel like he’s happier about the “we” than the “won” lol. Like he’s glad they won but what really has him smiling is that they won together. Then, because Rick stays one-upping himself, he goes on to reveal that he didn’t just get this because they won. He tells her, “And to replace the one you lost”. And it was at this moment that Rick won the Husband Of The Year award. 👏🏽👏🏽😋

Y’all! 🙉 This moment was amazing and gorgeous and precious and sentimental and it made me so happy. 

I’m proud to say that the literal second he walked over to hand her that cat, before I even heard Rick confirm this, I told my family “I’m pretty sure this has to do with that cat statue Michonne got in season three.” I hadn’t re-watched “Clear” in ages but that cat moment was still stored in my memory, so I was not late to this party lol. 👌🏽 And when he said, “to replace the one you lost” I was done. 😭 Perfection. Okay, can I break down the reasons I love this? One; The fact that this man remembered that rainbow cat from season three. He is the realest of the ones! 🙌🏾

It's actually so impressive that he remembered that cat from all that time ago lol. The fact that he remembered that rainbow cat is so amazing cuz think about all they've been through since then. You'd think a rainbow cat wouldn't stay on his radar. But that cat had to do with her so of course it stays on his radar.

And think about where R&M were at in their relationship when she got that cat. She was still pretty much a stranger and she wasn't even with Rick when she got it. But, even then, he took note of it cuz he's been taking note of her since day one. ☝🏽☺️ I love it too cuz I know so many people caught the Richonne bug and started shipping them during “Clear” and so for y’all to receive confirmation that, even in the beginning of their relationship, Rick was really paying attention to Michonne in a deeper way, had to be so validating. I love knowing that the rainbow cat was something stored in his memory and him alluding to it here reminds us that these are still those season three characters. Y’all, their journey is everything.

And knowing this, there is now no denying that their moment near the car in "Clear" was 110% flirting. 💯 (I just realized how much that “Clear” moment near the trunk parallels when R&M are near the trunk of this car in 7x10 🙌🏾) This cat moment also made me wonder; at what point did Rick notice the Trash Land cat? Like, amidst all this craziness with Jadis, there was still room in Rick’s mind to notice that cat and think, "Michonne likes that type of stuff. I'm going to get it for her." 😋 Like it’s now proven that Michonne pretty much owns 90% of Rick's mind. 😂 Two; I love that Rick stays getting stuff for his wife. And how sweet is this man to celebrate their win by getting a gift for his woman? Like he legit has so much gratitude and appreciation for her. Also, he loves courting her and I'm so here for that traditional romantic side of him. It’s cool cuz in the tenth episode of season six, Rick got Michonne mints and that helped lead to their romantic relationship, and now in the tenth episode of season seven he’s getting her a cat which will help lead to their honeymoon lol. 😊 Three; I love the way Michonne holds this cat like it’s a teddy bear that he won for her at idk a carnival or something 😉. And it's sweet that he stays looking right at her this whole time and she has the most genuine smile because of him. I repeat; Sis is smitten. 😊 

Like Michonne’s not just a warrior, she’s a woman, and I love that Rick makes her feel like one. 👌🏽 Four; Rick and Michonne have given off husband and wife vibes a lot in this series and in this moment they were so extremely married. But also their scenes in this episode also felt so youthful and fun and it was like they were simultaneously giving boyfriend/girlfriend vibes. This scene is also so amazing cuz this is Rick "Nothing to Play With" Grimes being all cute and getting a gift for his wife like this trash heap is Pottery Barn. 😋 Five; Rick saying "To replace the one you lost" is so very sweet and Rick has truly replaced so many things she's lost. Like phrasing it this way really hits home how much Michonne has gained in her relationship with Rick. They both have enhanced each other's lives so much. Six; I absolutely adore that Rick pursues Michonne even though he has her completely. He cares to give her every good thing he can cuz these two don’t just need each other, they truly want each other and they want to make each other smile whenever they get the chance. ☺️ I love that Rick just proudly smiles and walks away, after handing the cat to her, knowing full well what he just did. 😋 Like this was Rick's "Kiss of Life" moment in a way, cuz he got to do something that sweeps her off her feet, the same way she did for him in 7x5. And then he goes to the car and says “All right, let’s go” cuz he’s accomplished the most important thing of the day; making his wife happy 👌🏽, so now they can officially leave.

Michonne so deserves someone who will love her and do these little things to court her and make her smile and I'm glad Rick is so good at doing this. As he walks away Michonne just seems subtly stunned that he would remember that about her and she's so happy. And he’s so happy to have been able to give her a gift that was meaningful and to reveal to her that he's been paying attention to her for a long time now. 

Like I feel like he knows that, in this moment, he’s happily ratting himself out and letting her know she’s had a special place in his heart for the longest. 😊 I love that this last moment of their 7x10 storyline was a beautiful callback and a very loving Richonne moment. Like this was such a perfect button for their "anniversary" episode. And the fact that they've only fallen more in love since canon is so wonderful. What this scene confirms is that Michonne is always and has always been on Rick’s mind. It’s just pure facts at this point. 😂👌🏽 And it also illustrates that they are both equally good at captivating each other. Like it’s a talent they both possess lol. 😋 I knew that every Richonne moment in 7x10 was trying to give us clear insight of where R&M’s state of minds were so that, the next time we see them, we’d know without a doubt that these two are more head over heels than ever. And with everything that went down between them in 7x10 I was like okay this is totally gearing up for the love fest that's about to go down in just two weeks. All the Richonne moments in 7x10 were solid gold and nearly took me out, so I knew I would never be ready for what comes next. 🙈😋 7x10 was just the prequel, y'all. And they tried to prepare us with these cute scenes in Trash Land but let's be real, when you're trash; nothing could prepare us for the greatness that would become the illustrious "7x12". 🤗🎉
