hey. so.

didnt plan on reading sonic the movie fanfiction of all things, right? right.

but alas the picture of outsider pov mean bean customer witnessing stone pining on main between movies 1 and 2 was so utterly VIVID in my mind i ended up looking some up.

because i mean. the setup is so obvious, it is practically begging to be written and then read by some fanatical idiot like myself. no way an author hasnt yet taken advantage of the premise.

ONLY TO FIND OUT NOBODY HAS

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?????

BOAT BOYS ARE SEPERATED!?! *i am shot with bullets

Yep 🥲 they had a thing during the year Etho spent on an exchange with the university that Joel and a few other familiar faces attended. I'm gonna put the details below the cut in case anyone doesn't want to know, especially given that you didn't outright ask, but for anyone who's curious:

They meet through Grian, who met Etho through Mumbo, who's in the engineering program that's hosting the exchange. It starts off casual—literally on the same night they meet—which is already a bad sign because Etho doesn't really do casual and even from that first night, the other guys are constantly taking the mick out of Joel for his lifelong crush on a girl named Lizzie.

It's really more of a situationship than a relationship (though Joel does take Etho out on a stupid touristy boat ride where they accidentally end up on one of those two-person pedal boats with "The Relation" stamped across the side). It's sort of accidentally established as something to keep quiet very early on, and both of them are just trying to respect what they think is the other person's wishes to not tell any of their friends because obviously it's no big deal, right?

Unfortunately Joel is as chronically affectionate as he is abrasive and as much as Etho presents himself as aloof they're both very very attached to each other even if they both think it's just casual/physical. Joel thinks Etho's really a private person and doesn't need their nosy friends getting up in his business, plus he doesn't need anyone thinking that he's obsessed with Etho, or anything, especially when Etho is inevitably going to leave anyway.

Etho is a private person who doesn't really want their nosy friends being nosy, but he's also a bit insecure since it seems like Joel is a lot more experienced in relationships than he is, and with the other guys constantly teasing Joel about Lizzie, he doesn't want to add fuel to the fire. But as his program's end approaches, and he and Joel get closer, every next not-date and hookup feeling less and less casual, Etho starts to get bad ideas like staying, though it kind of freaks him out that he's even considering it. 

Then, out of the blue, Joel tells him that they should stop all of it, because Lizzie is coming back, and she's actually asked him out for a change. Etho is upset, more at himself for getting carried away on a pointless venture, and pretends (badly) that he's happy for them, and then packs all his things and moves back to Canada as fast as he can without saying goodbye.

Really it's all a classic miscommunication debacle + emotional constipation + a bit of right-person-wrong-time/circumstances. And also very much not Lizzie's fault she has done literally nothing wrong. In this world they probably wouldn't have worked out anyway, but a lot of the mess could have been avoided if they maybe had a single conversation about what they were doing, but they'll get to that conversation eventually, I just need to put them in situations ;)

"What was it like living with Barky?" versus a man sighing with his full body ready to go to war and protect the privacy of his very private teammate yet again and reveal nothing that hasnt already been talked about previously

"like people ask me even teammates they're like how is barky like? what does he do in his freetime? even guys that been playing with him for years, they're— (exasperated)" "ekblad said he's never been to his house." "(laughs) yeah, I think he really wants to go to his house."

conclusion hes just a normal guy absolutely to popular belief

first of all i should be able to block communities & not see things from them if im not a part of them in the first place but secondly this is exactly how i expected the average tumblr community experience to be

Watching iwtv and expecting to associate Kol with either Armand or Lestat (loves of my life) when in fact, he’s Daniel Molloy (also love of my life)

Been listening to the rwby books. After the Fall wasn't too terrible, but jesus fuck Before the Dawn is a lesson in frustration. What is Myers' beef with Sun and why was it allowed to assassinate his character?

wanting to hang out/get the tea vs not wanting to leave the house. fight.

[immaterial-girl]

god made me a lesbian so i could talk about girliepop music with my mom and classic rock with my dad

[colorisbyshe]

i know that technically this is nothing to be proud of but i love being a bullshitter. i love complaining about stuff i barely know about and then when someone tries to argue with me i know just enough to make a compelling case

it’s like that post… i have a court jester spirit and this is part of that

it’s like improv work at making people mad (or making them agree with me)

like this IS a picture of me talking about shit i don’t know or really care about

[gremnda]

hiiii grem!! How you’ve been? I woke up, scrolled the tag and sighed audibly a little but it’s ok. Hopefully. I’m just hoping for a big talk behind the scenes to fix some issues but idk how likely that is. Looking forward to what you do next!!! <3

- mossii

hii mossii! doing good thank youu, hope ur also well! i've seen people in the tag being devastated about Something but i actually have no idea what's going on LMAO i just know that bbh watchers are in despair kjhshskhk

i might need to watch bbh's stream to find out what's going on tbh but i feel like the whole gist of it is that there's a new update that puts red and green at a disadvantage? not sooo sure,,, i've heard things and screenshots from here and there but i don't want to come to any conclusions without actually watching vods myself :,D

thank you so much legend!!! i'm currently working on 3 pieces at once, that's the level of hyperfixation we're at rn!! <3 going insane smile ^-^
