#130-121

130. Mean (5.981) Highest score was 8; Lowest score was 2

I’ve never been a big fan of Mean, so I’m not mad at its placing here. While the idea of an anti-bullying anthem is nice, I’ve always felt it a bit... contradictory to pretend to take the high ground while also absolutely demolishing the person who you are pretending to take the high ground with!

Highlighted comments: @corneliaavenue​: “yee haw” @liabilitys​: “not my fav but her singing it at the grammys was a serve”  @everfolk: [gives the song an 8] “I said what I said. Mean is a GOOD song, she's underappreciated” 

129. Innocent (5.984) Highest score was 9; Lowest score was 1

Ah, another brilliant example of “I’m-taking-the-high-ground-but-I’m-actually-not”. However, in this case, I think Innocent is a masterpiece of passive-aggressiveness and I’m sick of pretending its not! I mean, “32 and still growing up now” is just such a perfect, condescending line. This might have been portrayed as the Kanye forgiveness song back in the day, but it’s time for us to realise it is THE original Kanye diss track.

Highlighted comments: @liabilitys​: “fuck kanye but lyrically this is gorgeous (also ever since i read about how "you're still an innocent" sounds like 'you're stealing innocence' and thus the double meaning of the song i haven't been able to function” @corneliaavenue: “I hope taylor changes the lyrics to 43 and still growing up now” @yourivysgrows: “Kanye didn't deserve the forgiveness” 

128. Jump Then Fall (6.025) Highest score was 8.4; Lowest score was 3 

This song is cute af, and it was a joyful surprise when Taylor sang it on the Rep tour, mostly because it was nice to know that Taylor remembers it exists! Aside from that... I don’t have much to say! It’s a nice song.

Highlighted comments: @corneliaavenue: “did I use to scream this song in my bedroom all of the time, yes. do I think she has better songs to do that to, absolutely” @yourivysgrows: “I listened to this recently and it made me happy”

127. Come In With the Rain (6.066) Highest score was 9.3; Lowest score was 2.7

Oh boy, I didn’t have much to say about Jump Then Fall, and I have even less to say about Come In With the Rain. It was kinda cool to see the page from Taylor’s diary in the Lover journals where she wrote some of the original lyrics and even had a little drawing to go along with it!

Highlighted comments: @itspeterlosingwendy​: “best on the album” @onceintwentylifetimes​: “love this one.” @corneliaavenue: “major New Moon vibes” (it’s been too long since I read Twilight for me to understand this, so I’m just going to trust you on it!)

126. Picture to Burn (6.103) Highest score was 8; Lowest score was 4

This used to be Taylor’s most problematic song! Wikipedia describes it as “an evisceration of a no-good adolescent male”, a description that is hilarious to me for some reason. The music video for Picture to Burn also gave Taylor’s original band their name “The Agency”, because they looked like secret agents in the music video. Just a little nostalgic fact for you there.

Highlighted comments: @tobesolonely​: “its too loud” @yourivysgrows: “A breakup banger but she has better”

125. SuperStar (6.106)  Highest score was 8.5; Lowest score was 2

This is my favourite of the Fearless Platinum songs - it’s just so sweet and full of yearning. Ironically, the secret message of this one is “I’ll never tell” - sis was more than happy to name drop guys from her high school but telling us her celebrity crush? No way! I don’t know who this song is about, and I don’t really care because it’s probably a country singer I’ve never heard of.

Highlighted comments: @yourivysgrows: “An underrated bop” @onceintwentylifetimes: “I'm emotionally attached.”

124. 22 (6.159) Highest score was 9; Lowest score was 1.3

The fact that the rerecordings are probably dropping this year, so I’m going to miss being 22 in the year that 22 rereleases by one year... a travesty. Listen, you rate this song low now, but what is going to be your Instagram caption on your 22nd birthday? I thought so. This song also has my all time favourite Taylor music video and we should all appreciate it more.

Highlighted comments: @itspeterlosingwendy: “not lyrically exciting but its fun” @liabilitys: “she invented the age 22″ @corneliaavenue: “A cultural reset, made 22 year olds cool again”

123. Sweeter Than Fiction (6.197) Highest score was 8; Lowest score was 3

This was our first introduction to the magic that is Taylor working with Jack Antonoff, a duo that would go on to provide us with some of the very best that Taylor’s discography has to offer. Sweeter Than Fiction... she was the blueprint!

Highlighted comments: @corneliaavenue: “GOD BLESS JACK ANTONOFF” @liabilitys: “underrated and taylor has paid it dust. one of my favs purely for the line "Someday you won't remember/This pain you thought would last forever and ever". also taylor's first collab with jack” @yourivysgrows: “This is one to shake yuh ass to”

122. Tied Together with a Smile (6.272) Highest score was 10; Lowest score was 3

This was another song that was an unexpected surprise song on the rep tour. A potential candidate for Taylor’s saddest song, this one is undoubtedly a powerful showcase of Taylor’s songwriting talent even at such a young age.

Highlighted comments: @corneliaavenue: “hearing this song live in the rep era is life changing” @yourivysgrows: “I love the message, it's just not a fave”

121. If This Was a Movie (6.322) Highest score was 9.5; Lowest score was 3

There was a time a couple of years ago where there seemed to be a lot of people stanning this song in the fandom, but it seems to have dropped off a bit. If This Was a Movie technically breaks the “entirely self-written” thing that Speak Now has going for it, since this is a co-write with Martin Johnson, but fortunately since its a deluxe song that no one ever talks about, we can let it slide!

Highlighted comments: @tobesolonely: “i think lyrically, this is one of taylors most underrated songs”

Eat all the cake you can for me! Happy birthday, love! I hope you know how much I adore you ❤

A/N 2: This is very much full of Donald Trump hate and despitement because who wouldn’t hate him anyways jkhkdjgh there’s also quite a bit of cussing 

Word Count: 2,613

Thank you @rigatonireid for pre-reading!! 

“This is bullshit,” Kurns exclaimed as Bryce and Dick were watching the events unfolding at the United States Capitol. “This is why you don’t vote for oranges.” She said while rolling her eyes. 

“Agreed,” the two men replied in unison. 

“Jinx!” They replied again at the same time that led to twenty minutes of them saying “jinx again” in response until Dick finally gave in and let Bryce win. 

“You win, Bryce-y poo,” he had said. Kurns had kept her attention glued to the television during their little game. 

“You okay over there, banana flavored moonpie?” Dick asked, directing his attention over to Kurns. 

“No, look at all those turnips. And the cult leader himself told them to do this shit. People actually voted for this moron? They should all get head CTs to check for brain damage which they undoubtedly have.” 

“Would it make you feel better if we overthrew the government while kidnapping Donnie?” Dick asked seriously. 

“Yes, actually,” she answered with a wide grin. 

“Okay, let me make a few phone calls and can you download some episodes of My Little Pony on Netflix for Bryce?” Kurns nodded her head in response, she also took the liberty of downloading Among Us on their phones so they wouldn’t be bored on the flight. 

The flight from North Delanois was a little over eight hours and being on a plane that long with a toddler, well Bryce, was going to be a challenge. 

It was a private jet so hopefully it would be more bearable, but just in case she also downloaded a few episodes of Max and Ruby and Yo Gabba Gabba. She also downloaded some episodes of Parks and Rec and Friends for herself. 

After packing the essentials; clothing, toiletries, handcuffs, whipped cream, ice cubes -who knew- and My Little Pony gummies, they were off to the airport.  

“Dick Kock,” Dick said introducing himself along with Kurns and Bryce. 

Kurns was decked out in a Taylor Swift 1989 t-shirt and a pair of leggings with her trusty white vans whereas Bryce was dressed in a rainbow colored polka dot shirt, black and white striped pants, one blue croc and the other was yellow, and socks with weed on them. Him and Kurns had forgotten about meth since it already landed them in jail one. Chris P. Bacon was still a sore subject for the pair. 

They boarded the plane and Bryce immediately went to find his gummies. Kurns took a seat next to Dick and pulled up CNN news to get an update on the attack on the Capitol. 

Suddenly breaking news flashed across her phone screen: Taylor Swift set to release her tenth studio album later today. 

“OH MY GOD! BRYCE LOOK!” Kurns exclaimed, jumping up out of her seat to show Bryce. 

“OH MY GOD! TS10! TS10! TS10!” He chanted. 

“Oh wow, that sure is exciting!” Dick chimed in. 

“By the way, D, I think we should call this Operation ‘I Did Something Bad’ in honor of Taylor’s new album.” 

“That’s a spectacular idea, Kurnel Mustard!” Bryce said with a smirk, it had been a new nickname he had given her after the three of them had played Clue one night.

“Shut up, Apple Bottom Jeans, Boots with the Fur,” she retaliated, mocking the Little Pony named Apple Jacks. 

“Stfu,” he said, crossing his arms over his chest. 

“You must be really mad if you’re talking in text.”

“Dick,” he pouted, “she’s doing it again.” 

“Be nice you two, we have a long flight ahead of us.” 

For the first two hours, they each did their own thing; Dick was reading a hunting magazine, Kurns was watching the news, and Bryce had already finished the entirety of My Little Pony. 

“Do you guys wanna play Among us?” Kurns asked out of the blue. 

“Hell yeah! I just bought the baby crew mate and I’m dying to use it,” Bryce responded. 

“I’ve never played before but sure!” 

“Okay so you’re either a crew mate or impostor and if you’re a crew mate, you have to do these tasks whilst trying not to die and if you’re an impostor, you go around killing other crew mates trying not to get caught in the process. You’ll get the hang of it eventually,” Kurns explained. 

“Thanks love bug,” Dick placed a quick kiss to the side of her head. 

The three of them found an open lobby and talked in the chat box waiting for the game to start and when it did, Dick asked the question of, “why is my name red?” 

“Oh my God, Dick! Don’t say that. It means you’re an impostor,” Bryce explained at the same exact time Kurns called an emergency meeting. 

“It’s purple,” Kurns typed in the text box, referring to Bryce’s color. 

“What the frick! It’s so not me. I’m not playing anymore,” he pouted, turning off his phone and crossing his arms over his chest. 

“Now, children, can you two not get along? Think about the bigger picture,” Dick intervened. 

“True, but I’m still not going to play with her.”

His statement didn’t affect Kurns in the slightest and she went back to playing the game. Dick joined her while Bryce was running away from an imaginary dragon and he ended up colliding into one of the seats, face first. 

“Ow,” he rubbed his forehead that was now bright red. 

“That’s what you get for being a baby,” Kurns said, not looking up from her phone while Dick went to go check on his blueberry muffin. 

“You okay, strawberry flavored fig bar? That’s quite a hit you took.” 

“Yeah, a kiss would make it feel better though,” he said, using his puppy dog eyes. Dick smiled softly at him before kissing his forehead all better. 

The three of them spent the next six hours playing games, eating, and watching movies from the age of the dinosaurs that Kurns had saved since she was over 10,000 years old. 

After landing in Washington D.C., the trio headed straight to the Whitehouse, if people could storm the Capitol, how much harder could it be to kidnap the president? That was Kurns logic at least and as it turns out, it wasn’t that much harder. 

Kurns went to the Oval Office while Dick and Bryce went to the bunker since that apparently seemed to be Trump’s favorite place in the Whitehouse. But unexpectedly, Kurns found the Donald Duck under the office in the Oval, tweeting away on his iPhone 4s. 

“Mr. Racist,” she called and he immediately turned to look at her. 

“What? I’m tremendously busy if you can’t tell.” 

“I see that, Mr. Pigman.” 

“That is hugely racist towards me. I happen to be winning very bigly at the moment. I’m trending on Twitter!” He said proudly, he then proceeded to show Kurns his crusty ass phone. 

“Come on, I have some candy for you if you come with me,” Kurns coaxed him out from under the desk and led him to the white van they had brought with them, you know, the kind your parents warn you to stay away from. 

“Fake news!” Trump exclaimed with a huff. “You must be friends with sleepy Joe.” 

“You’re right,” she winked. 

“You know, frankly, this doesn’t make America great.” 

“I disagree, I think this definitely makes America great again,” Kurns retaliated. 

“Does Mikey know about this?” 

“Yeah, we planned it with the fly,” she snickered. 

“Well, it’s fake news, believe me.” 

“What?” 

“Nothing you libtards wouldn’t understand it anyways. Anyways, what's that thing on your face?” 

“My mask?” 

“Yeah, what’s that for?” 

Kurns shook her head, not even being surprised by the question. “We’re in the middle of a pandemic, Donald Dump.” 

“What’s a panoramic?” 

“Don’t worry about it.” She got out her walkie talkie to talk to the boys. “The orange has expired. Over,” she said, their code word for getting Trump out. 

“Okay, bet, we’re on our way out. Over.” 

“Good job, K!” Dick said. 

“See you soon and thanks! Over.” 

Fifteen minutes later, Dick and Bryce arrived with a six foot cutout of Donald. 

“What the fuck is that?” 

“Hey, that’s me!” Trump chimed in. 

“Shut the fuck up,” Kurns said, she was quickly losing brain cells being in his proximity. 

“That is rude, quite frankly.” 

“We found it in his bedroom… along with some other, uh, questionable things,” Bryce explained. 

“Like what?”

“Like a, uh, dildo with Pence on it.” 

“Ew…” they all turned to look at Trump who was looking away and whistling, trying to pretend he wasn’t there. 

“Oh, um, about that. That was a tremendous invasion of privacy.” 

“Shut the fuck up,” they all said in unison and he pulled an imaginary zipper over his lips and threw away the key like a literal child. 

“I can’t be near him anymore,” Kurns said suddenly, getting out her phone to call someone. 

“Who are you calling?” Dick asked. 

“Joe, I was gonna invite him to go get some ice cream.” 

“OMG! I wanna go too!” Bryce exclaimed. 

“And me!” Trump said. 

“No, to both of you. You two have to keep an eye on Don and make sure he stays off of Twitter.” She was explaining when Joe picked up the phone. “Hey, Joe, do you want to go get ice cream somewhere?” 

“Duh! Taylor is actually here right now and you don’t care if she comes do you?” He asked to make sure. 

“Of course not! You can bring Champ and Major too! I know Jill is busy right now.” 

“Okay! On our way!” He said before hanging up. 

“Where are you going to go?” 

“Probably McDonald’s or something, Taylor is also coming with us, he said.”

“YOU MEAN THE TAYLOR?” Bryce asked in shock. 

“Yeah, him and Taylor are like BFF’s.” 

“I still like her music 25% less, okay?” Donald brought up. 

“Shut the fuck up,” Kurns said again. 

“Fine, fine. But could you make sure Barron is fed?” 

“Oop,” Bryce slapped his hand over his mouth. 

“Yes, now shut up.” 

Kurns was getting ready to go meet Joe and Taylor when Melania walked up to the van. “You have Trump?” She asked quietly. 

“Yeah, why? You need him?” 

“Yeah, could you make him sign this?” She placed some papers in Kurns hand. She read them and wasn’t shocked after realizing they were divorce papers. 

“No problem, hold tight real quick. Dick, make him sign these!” 

“Of course, ladybug.” He took a hold of Trump’s hand and wrote his name for him since he wouldn’t do it himself. 

“Here you go,” Kurns handed the papers back to Melania and she left without looking back. “Okay, I’m leaving. Be careful with that moron and for the love of God, don’t let his supporters know you have him.” 

“Roger that!” Bryce responded. 

“Don’t worry, vanilla brown sugar! We’ll hold down the fort while you’re gone. Have fun!” He called after her. 

She met Joe and Taylor at a local McDonald’s and greeted both of them with a hug. “Congratulations on winning the election and congratulations on album number ten!” She reached down to pet both of the German Shepherds who happily wagged their tails. 

“Thanks!” They replied in unison. 

“So how are the boys?” Taylor asked. 

“Good! They sent their regards. They’re actually, uh, holdingtrumphostage,” she said fast enough so hopefully they couldn’t understand but they are actually educated. 

“WHAT?” Joe exclaimed. 

“Miss gurl, how did y’all pull that off?” Taylor asked while hysterically laughing. 

“It was easier than I thought! Either security sucks or they wanted Trump gone and I can’t blame them for that.” 

“Amen sister!” Joe replied. 

“Can we see him?” Taylor asked. 

“I mean, yeah if you want!” 

“Okay let’s go!” She went to get up when Joe gently grabbed her arm. 

“But the ice cream…” He reminded her. 

“Of course, how could I forget?” She playfully rolled her eyes. They all ate their ice cream before heading back to the Whitehouse. 

Once arriving, Taylor and Joe headed straight to the front doors while Kurns stood there like 🧍‍♀️. “Hey guys, he's actually right there,” she said, pointing to the white van. 

Taylor opened the door to find Bryce half asleep on the ground, Dick was listening to ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ and dancing in his seat meanwhile, Donald had his lips glued to the side of the door, making out with it. 

“What the fuck?” All three of them asked at the same time. 

“OMG TAYLOR! HI! HOW ARE YOU?” Bryce shouted, jumping up off of the floor and pulling her into a hug. 

“Hi!” 

“Hello, Ms. Swift,” Dick greeted, gracefully bowing. “Mr. President,” he nodded. 

“How did you all meet?” Don asked. 

“We actually just met, our hate for you is what we bond over!” Joe explained in terms he would understand. Hopefully. 

“Oh,” was all he said and started to play with his fingers. “I don’t know if you knew this, but Washington D.C. is actually the capital of the United Stats. Did you know that?”

“What did you think it was? And it’s the United States, not… Stats.” Kurns asked in a surprisingly concerning tone. 

“I thought it was like a stat… or well state. Whatever it is.” 

“Oh,” Kurns said while Taylor called him an idiot under her breath. 

“That’s embarrassing miss gurl,” Bryce chimed in. 

“ARE YOU TALKING TIKTOK TO ME? I WILL BAN YOU,” Trump threatened. 

“Please, these empty promises you keep making are getting really old just like your term,” Dick said, making the others die of laughter… no literally, some Trump supporter that had been walking by had just collapsed and died. 

“And I oop-” Kurns and Bryce said at the same time. 

“IFHCBXNZNZ, HAHAHAHA,” Bryce barked out. 

“Can we get something to eat? I really want some Dino nuggies 🥺,” Trump pleaded. 

“No,” they all replied. 

“So what are we going to do with him?” Taylor asked. 

“I don’t know, what do y’all want to do with him?” 

“Excellent question, K, I say we feed him to some alligators!” Bryce exclaimed, flapping his two arms together to make an alligator jaw and started running towards Donald who jumped back in fear. 

“That’s not nice,” he pouted, a lone tear trickling down his cheek. 

“Fuck you, but not literally or physically,” Taylor said, making sure to explain what she meant. 

“I want some My Little Pony gummies!” 

“Me too!” Donald said with a smile now on his crusty, orange ass face. 

“No,” they replied again. 

“Fine,” he crossed his arms over his chest and turned his back to them, like the toddler he is. 

“Anyways, y’all want to go get Cookout?” Kurns suggested. 

“Yeah, of course!” Joe responded. 

The five of them headed to the nearest Cookout to get food and milkshakes, leaving Trump behind all alone. After hanging out with Taylor and Joe, it was unfortunately time to head back to North Delanois. With promises to meet up soon, the trio were soon enough taking off at the airport. 

“What ended up happening to Trump?” Bryce asked seriously. 

“He went to prison.” 

“As he should, period,” Kurns said with a smirk. 

“What are we going to do when we land?”

“Sleep!” Kurns and Bryce said. 

“Of course, my love doves. I’m going to try to do that right now, so please try to get along.” 

“Promise!” Kurns said, holding out her pinky finger which he took and kissed. The rest of the flight was surprisingly peaceful, Kurns and Bryce were able to get along while Dick slept. It had been a fun trip, one they hoped they would actually never have to make again.

Major:

○ Aerospace Engineering

Clubs and Activities:

○ Book Club (President)

○ Baseball Team (Pitcher)

○   National Honor Society

fun facts //  

○ Luxor Academy Alumni, he attended the high school from Freshmen year until graduation.

○ Zander really doesn’t trust easily, and he constantly is questioning people’s motives, he doesn’t think most people do things for him without wanting something in return.

○ That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about people however, he does feel empathy for others and it’s very possible for him to care about someone and not trust him. (Example: he can think of you as a friend but still be wary about your motives).

○ He doesn’t really like discussing his feelings, he expresses them; he feels them, but he doesn’t want to talk about them. He has to really trust you if he’s willing to actually tell you how he’s feeling when he’s upset/hurt instead of lashing out.

○ His sisters are very important to him, he’s in constant contact with Grace (just like Balo - is) and he tries to monitor Balo when he can, intervening in ways she won’t find out about if he feels like he needs to. His parents? Not so much. As for William? It’s complicated. (Family page here for more info on the Driskells)

○ He likes his motorcycle more than you, I’m sorry but it’s true.

○  Zander’s always willing to tutor if he knows a subject and you have a way of paying him. Something needs to pay for that motorcycle.

○ Extremely into space, he loves it even more than he loves his motorcycle and coffee. He’s always dreamed of creating spaceships and satellites, and his dream job is astronautical engineering (a subfield of aerospace, which he’s majoring in)

○ A few centimeters shorter than Balo much to his chagrin.

○ He may or may not get offended every time someone reminds him he’s not actually related to Lucy.

○ Loathes the word sorry even more than he wants to fight Jack.

○ Don’t ask Zander for his opinion unless you want it unfiltered. He will tell you to your face he hates everything about you if you give the platform to, and he doesn’t care if it’s offensive. Because as he sees it, you shouldn’t have asked a question you didn’t want the answer to.

○ The #1 LEGO stan at Luxor. Who needs therapy when you have plastic bricks?

○ I’m always willing to discuss my muses, so feel free to hit me up if you have any questions at any point.

a tl;dr history  //  

○ The Driskells come from an extremely abusive household. Their father is an alcoholic, and their mother tends to work the hours he’s home, leaving the children to fend for themselves. In turn, Zander resents both his parents

○ Zander has always felt like it was his job to take care of his younger sister, Balo, even since they were children. If she needed anything, if their father was going after her, etc etc, he was the one to step in to do what was best for her. This is a habit he still hasn’t broken.

○ This job became easier when their older brother, William, was adopted. Even if the boy was adopted to better appearances after Balo almost caused a social service investigation.

○ Zander is very antisocial and for his first year at Luxor, he mostly only talked to the baseball team and the book club. This eased slightly after Balo also came to Luxor, although he’s still not really one for socialization.

○ When he was home during summer break after his sophomore year, his father stabbed him. This caused some serious damage to his deltoid and the long head of his left bicep that needed surgical repair. After the surgery, however, he thankfully made a full recovery.

○ Zander has been at Luxor since he started high school, other than an occasional school break and having to go home during the summer of 2019.

○ I strongly recommend skimming Zander’s timeline page before interacting with him. These are just the bare minimum basics, and there're more things your muse may know on there.

wanted connections //  

○ Enemies, because Zander really needs more people who can’t stand his shit

○ People that Zander tutors

○ People from the baseball team or bookclub

○ People who hire Zander for his photography

○ Photography Friends

“Roamer of the Cretaceous period, the ‘Tyrant Lizard King’, Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the most fearsome predators on the planet. Boasting a set of 50-60 banana sized teeth, these carnivores were-”

Sebastian and Y/N stood in awe of the animatronics in front of them. A T-Rex on prehistoric land,  turning its head every so often and roaring unexpectedly, to give the startled kids a fright. Occasionally the sound of an adult shriek could be heard, followed by a simmering wave of snickering among the crowd.

“Woah, careful guys.” Sebastian bends down, protectively guarding the small group of children in front of him. A bunch of teenage boys had managed to push their way to the front, boisterously cackling and climbing on the railings to take pictures with the dinosaur. Defeated, the little kids retreat back to their parents as the boys continue with their shenanigans, with just one child standing defiantly.

“Hmph! Not fair!” She stomps her feet.

Recognising the little tot, Y/N bends down to poke her on the shoulders.

“Did you run away from your mama again missy?”

“Dinosaur lady! Caweey me again. I wanna see!” Izzy jumps up and down, her curly hair bouncing on her shoulders.

“Who’s this?” Sebastian whispers.

“My friend.” Y/N smiles before turning back to the girl. “I don’t think you should be running off like this, your mummy is going to be worried again.”

“My mama has to look after my baba sister, she can’t push the swoller here so she wait at the back for me.” Izzy points to her mother sitting on the visitor benches, cradling and cooing the bundle in her arms.

Clearing his throat, Sebastian decides it’s only polite to introduce himself to Y/N’s friend. He bends down to her level and extends his hand to her. “Hello dino lady’s friend. My name is Sebastian, what is your name?”

Izzy stares at him with suspicion, eyeing the strange man up and down before determining him to be a enough decent character and accepts his handshake with a beaming smile.

“Izzy!”

“Well hello Izzy, would you like to see the dinosaur?” Sebastian opens his arms but before he could say anymore, he finds them already full with the excited little girl who had leapt into them.

“Are you scared?” He whispers to the grinning child who shakes her head.

Y/N watches as the new friends become quickly acquainted, Izzy’s pitchy giggles erupting every time Sebastian says something funny. Both of them gasping as the T-Rex opens its mouth to roar, with Sebastian clutching his heart for added drama.

What a man child. Yet even so Y/N can’t help but laugh along with their silliness. To a bystander, they seem to be an idyllic little family spending a Sunday afternoon out at the museum. Mom, Dad and daughter. A modern day Norman Rockwell painting.

A passerby awes as she makes her way past the trio, to which Sebastian turns his head, smiling with unexpected pride whilst holding an oblivious Izzy who is still marvelling at the dinosaur.

“Psst! Dinosaur lady.” Izzy curls her finger at Y/N, bidding her to come closer so she could reach her ear.

“Hm?”

“Is Sebashon your boyfren?” She whispers, not so quietly.

Y/N looks at Sebastian, who returns the same uncomfortable expression on her face. The realisation of how bizarre this whole situation is quickly unravels before her. What is she doing playing happy families with her ex and some stranger’s kid? Has she stumbled upon some sort of alternate universe?

“No Izzy. Sebastian is…he’s just someone I used know.” Y/N smiles, purposely looking at him as she uttered every syllable. Fearing he has mistaken her goodwill for something beyond what it is, she needed to draw the line and clarify to him and herself, that this…meant nothing.

Sebastian doesn’t say anything, instead he clears his throat and turns his attention back to the child in his arms.

“Come Izzy, I think your mommy want to see you.” He tells the girl before carrying her back to her mother, leaving Y/N to stand alone.

Y/N inhales deeply, what is this feeling inside her chest?

Regret?

No, it can’t be. Regret implies that she didn’t mean what she had said but how could that be true? She doesn’t love Sebastian, not anymore. She had moved out the city, stopped seeing her old friends, all for fear that she might bump into him again. If there is regret, it would only be because she allowed him to run her out of her own life. If anything, that feeling inside her should be anger.

Resentment.

She curses herself for not turning a blind eye on the bridge. Who did she think she was kidding? Did she really think she could be diplomatic with Sebastian, act like they could be friends?

She watches as he talks to Izzy’s mother, who has obviously just realised who he is. Embarrassed that her audacious daughter had managed make a Hollywood movie star her personal nanny, she apologises profusely, trying her best to pry Izzy off of him; her little hands still grasping tightly onto Sebastian’s shirt. The exchange lasts for only a few short moments before Sebastian makes his way back to Y/N.

“Izzy says to tell dinosaur lady that she’ll miss her.” He reports back.

Y/N smiles, giving the little girl a final wave before she is led out the room.

“So, shall we continue?” Sebastian resumes.

“Actually, I think I should go.” Y/N grapples with the strap of her handbag uncomfortably. “There’s still some other stuff I want to do and it’s way into the afternoon now.”

“Well how about we grab a coffee before you go?” Sebastian interjects before she could slip past him.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Hey, it’s just one coffee. After that, you can pretend I don’t exist again.” Sebastian chuckles disingenuously.

Y/N continues fiddling with her bag, looking everywhere but him. The exit seems so close, she could just make a run for it.

“Just a quick one.” She gives in, figuring it’s better to get it over and done with than make a scene in the middle of a museum. The downside of knowing a celebrity is that there’s always someone watching.

“Okay.” Sebastian inhales uneasily, gesturing Y/N to the stairs towards the cafe.

———————————————————————————————————–

The museum cafe was unusually quiet for a Sunday afternoon. A small family occupying the larger table, with a smattering of both young and old couples dotted around the room; their chattering low enough to still hear the gentle pop song playing on the radio.

“A flat white for you and an Americano for me.” Sebastian places the drinks on their table, as Y/N types away on her phone.

“Thanks.” She smiles half-heartedly as she places her mobile back in her bag.

“So how long were you staying with Tara?” Sebastian quickly dives in.

“Just a few days, I hadn’t seen her for so long.”

“You know, she’s always telling me how much she misses you. Why don’t you come back more often?”

Y/N doesn’t respond, taking a large sip of her coffee as she stares out the window. She could feel Sebastian’s eyes on her but she’d rather pay attention to the traffic of visitors outside.

“Are you going to be back anytime soon?” He continues.

“I don’t know.” Y/N finally turns her head back to Sebastian, who still hasn’t touched his drink. “There’s so much going on at work and I’ve got a life now in Chicago. I don’t know when I’ll find the time.”

“Oh.”

A long silence ensues. Sebastian absent-mindedly rubs his thumb against the porcelain ear of his mug, a million thoughts rushing through his head.

“Are you okay?” Y/N mirrors his actions, gently chewing on her lip as she holds down the festering nerves inside her.

“Chicago huh?”

“Yeah.”

“You uh…you always did loved Chicago.” Sebastian smiles. “Do you remember that trip we took there for your birthday? It snowed so heavily when we arrived, we were trapped in our hotel the whole night.”

“Yeah, and we ordered room service and played black jack?”

“You mean I ordered room service and you ate those 7 packs of instant ramen you smuggled into your suitcase?” Sebastian teased.

“Well unlike some people, I like to travel prepared.” Y/N scoffs, masking her gentle titter behind her cup.

“Do you know what my favourite part of that trip was though? That day we went ice-skating and you pushed me and I ended up skidding and knocking over that old couple on the rink.”

“Sebastian that’s awful! You hit them so hard!”

“Well if you hadn’t pushed me!”

“I did not. That was all you. You do one Tonya Harding movie and suddenly you think you’re a pro! I can’t believe that’s your favourite memory.”

“Well if that didn’t happen, I wouldn’t have had you nursing me back to health all night.”

“Yes, piggy backing you back to hotel was so romantic.” Y/N rolls her eyes. “We missed all the reservations we had planned and I was stuck massaging your ankle.”

A solemn smile graces Sebastian’s face. “You always knew how to look after me. Even when I didn’t deserve it.”

The comment causes Y/N to look away. Her eyes retreating back to the cafe window, as she leans back into her chair, reinstating the distance between them.

“I’ve really missed you.” Sebastian continues. “Y/N?” He reaches for her hand but she pulls away defensively.

“Wh-what are you doing?” Frustration escaping through the cracks of her voice.

“I just want to talk.”

“No. No we are done talking. I should have never said yes to this. You think you can just buy me coffee, remind me of all the good times and then…and then all our problems will magically disappear?” Becoming mindful of the people around them, Y/N attempts to reign in her volume. “Do you know how hard this last year has been for me?”

“You think it’s been easy for me?” Sebastian fights back. “You don’t think, that I don’t think about you every day, every second since you left?”

“Oh poor Sebastian.” Y/N mocks.

“I tried looking for you. I tried calling. I tried doing everything to find you, to tell you how sorry I am. You wanted me to never see Kaitlyn again? Done. I’ve cut off all contact with her, I’ve deleted her number. Not once has she crossed my mind since you left because the only person that matters is you.”

“You still don’t get it do you?” A single tear trickles down Y/N’s face. “All I wanted was to feel needed, to feel wanted by you.” She pauses, her heart breaking all over again. “I don’t know when the pin finally dropped but suddenly, you just didn’t see me anymore. I was just a person you came home to. Your "I love you’s” became an obligation. It took me a while but I know now that, Kaitlyn was just a way out for us. She a way out for you.“

"Y/N, don’t. That’s not true.” Sebastian could no longer bare looking at her. The same cowardice that held him hostage that night, turning the corner to haunt him once more.

“I know you loved me but we got complacent. That was always your biggest fear.” Slowly draping her bag onto her shoulder, Y/N finally rises to her feet. Looking down at Sebastian, who still refuses to meet her eyes, even for the last time. “I need you to move on. Go enjoy your life, do the things you want and…find someone that makes you happy.”

“And what will you do?” He finally finds the courage to whisper those words. His head remaining low, his body too defeated to find the strength to stop her from leaving. It’s what she wanted, he has no right to inconvenient her any longer.  

Reaching out to rest her hand on Sebastian’s shoulder, Y/N recoils before he notices. She stares out at the window again, watching the people come and go obliviously, silently, contentedly.

“I’ll…live my life and I’ll be happy, whatever that may mean.”

Composing herself, Y/N wipes away the traces of tears on her face, ready to brave the outside world again. A world without him.

Is this what closure feels like? She questions.

“Bye Sebastian.” She mouths, her voice so low that she isn’t sure whether he picked it up. But it doesn’t matter.

Bye.

That word doesn’t even register in Sebastian’s head anymore as she disappears past him. His mind occupied by the statements still ringing in his ears. Too busy trying to run through every memory they shared over the past three years.

Is it all true?

Y/N was right about one thing. Sebastian’s greatest fear was that they’d become too comfortable in their relationship. To the point that everything the other person did, no longer bore the same novelty. To the point that their every action became a nuisance and eventually, they’d grow to resent each other.

He admits that their relationship was far from perfect and perhaps it did hit a point of stagnation. The more successful he became, the less time he spent at home and when he was there, his mind was somewhere else thinking about another project on the horizon. All those times, he’d walk past Y/N with his nose in a script. All those times, he’d usher her away because he was taking an 'important’ phone call. It all seems so trivial now.

He relegated her to a place where she felt she didn’t matter to him anymore, when that could be farther from the truth. Fame and fortune took its toll. The pressures of being a working actor and the fear of failure was something he couldn’t communicate to Y/N about. Maybe Kaitlyn was just an excuse for him to escape all that.

He loved Y/N  more than anything in this world.

And he still loves her.

________________________________________________________________

Staring out into the city lights, Y/N rests her arms over the bridge. Suddenly New York sounds so quiet. Peaceful. If that were even possible.

She is one of a few on the bridge. The others, a street merchant behind her, selling handmade jewellery since the day started, and a handful of commuters walking sluggishly to the station ready to go home. A parallel to the bustling scene this morning.

The sky pitch black, not a star in sight but the moon, otherworldly; illuminating and watching over the city and its people.

Y/N closes her eyes, comforted by the quiet breeze blowing kindly against her skin. Clutching her chest, she begs for the incessant aching to cease. If New York can find peace, why can’t she?

Her flight leaves early tomorrow morning, yet she finds every excuse to stay just a little longer.“A few more minutes, let me take in the city for just a few more minutes.” She tells herself. After today, she plans to steer clear of this city for as long as needed; until she can disassociate New York from him.

Y/N turns around to the soft touch on her arm.

“Hello miss, I’m sorry to interrupt. I’m selling a collection of some very beautiful and one of a kind jewellery that I personally hand crafted myself. Would you care to have a look?” The middle aged woman smiles earnestly, her eyes tired and her blonde hair slightly dishevelled from the day.

“I’m fine thank you.”

“Please, you might find something you really like! They would make the perfect gift for a loved one, I have pieces for men and for women. I have rings, necklaces, earrings…” The merchant begins to take out several bracelets from her pocket to demonstrate against Y/N’s wrist, which she reluctantly abides to. “In fact, if you come to my stall you’ll see I’ve recently created this gorgeous line of ruby jewellery, just right for a beautiful woman like you. That gentlemen over there just picked up one of my favourite pieces.”

Y/N looks up in the direction to which the woman points.

“Sir! Wouldn’t you recommend my work to this beautiful young woman here? It’s well worth your money isn’t it?” She shouts to the man standing behind them.

“Yeah…they’re very lovely.” He clears his throat, his eyes focusing solely on Y/N. “Could you excuse us for a moment?”

Y/N attempts to hurry past the confused the woman before Sebastian grabs hold of her hand. The woman watches with her mouth slightly agape, unsure whether she should intervene.

“No no, it’s okay. We know each other.” Sebastian reassures the street merchant, who nods slowly and returns to her stall. She watches the couple closely, alert in case she needs to call for help.

“Let go.” Y/N tries to pry his hands off her wrist.

“Not until you hear me out.”

“Let go now or I’ll scream.”

“No. You’ve said your piece, don’t you think I deserve the same opportunity?” Sebastian pulls her closer, forcing her to look at him.

Y/N’s struggles against him weakens, she glances at the woman watching them and quickly looks away embarrassed that this was all being played out in public. “What more could you possibly say?”

“You have every right to hate me.”

“Ha!” Y/N laughs sardonically. She decides to stop her efforts to rid Sebastian’s grip on her. She’ll allow him to finish and if needed, kick her way off this bridge if she has to.

“I was never caring enough, considerate enough.” He continues. “I thought my success would make up for everything else I was lacking and by doing that, I didn’t realise how far I pushed you away.”

Y/N turns her head from him, choosing to look over the bridge and into the city instead.

“There was never a second in those three years that I didn’t love you. Even now, I don’t think I can properly compute just how much I still do. You’re the only woman I do see and you’re the only woman who sees me…You mean more to me than you will ever know and the only thing that scares me now, is that you’ll leave here thinking otherwise.” Sebastian releases his hold on her, allowing Y/N to stand willingly by herself.

With her head still turned, Sebastian can see the tears quietly falling against her cheek.

“Y/N?” Sebastian pulls her into his chest, holding her head gently his hand.

“I can’t do this again.” Y/N cries.

“And you won’t. I won’t let this happen to us again. If it means my career taking a backseat, if it means I start taking on the little projects so I can be with you. So be it.”

“No. I don’t want that.” Y/N pulls away, finally looking at him. Sebastian’s gently cups her blushed cheeks, his thumb wiping away her tears which were still escaping her eyes. “I don’t want you to sacrifice doing the things you love.”

“Then what? You tell me and I’ll do it.” Sebastian whispers.

“I don’t know…talk to me? Share things with me? I don’t want us to be strangers.”

“We won’t. I promise. I have so much I’ve wanted to tell you but have just been too scared.”

“Scared of what?”

“That…you’ll see just how weak I really am.”

“Sebastian.” Y/N blinks back her tears so that she could finally see him more clearly. “You’re not weak. Just stupid.”

Sebastian smiles.

“I know how much you worry about your career and finding your place in the industry but no matter what happens, even if you lose all your money and your fame. It will never change my opinion of you. I fell in love with you, not the fancy actor.”

“I know.” Sebastian gazes down at Y/N. In this moment he cannot figure out why he ever doubted that. He lowers his head, tenderly placing a soft and longing kiss on Y/N’s lips. Her kiss, her scent even more perfect than he had remembered. Pulling away, he rests his forehead against hers. “So, are you still going back to Chicago?”

“I don’t know.” Y/N sighs.

Entwining his fingers into hers, Sebastian slowly leads her away from the side of the bridge.“You can make that decision tomorrow, yeah?”

“Yeah.” Y/N rests her head against his arm. Finally feeling the peace that she had sought long and hard for, she no longer needs the breeze to bring her comfort. She has found her peace, which always remained with Sebastian. She allows herself to be guided by him, holding her tightly next to him.

They both wave to the street merchant, as they leave. Her genuine smile sending them her deepest blessings as they disappear from sight.

“So what did you buy from that lady?” Y/N enquires curiously.

“It’s a gift.” Sebastian smiles to himself. His finger inside his pocket, circling the Ruby band.

Pining Stenbrough

I suck at endings but enjoy

Bill frowned looking around at his group of friends.  Everyone had a partner but him. Richie and Eddie had been together since sophomore year of high school, Bev and Ben had been together since senior year, Mike and his girlfriend, Kelsey had been together since freshman year of college, and Stan, the love of Bill's life, had been with his boyfriend, Jackson since last year.  

Bill hated seeing them together.  He wanted to punch Jakson in the face every time he was around them.  Jackson was perfect for Stan. He was funny, good looking, and Jewish.  He was basically everything Bill wasn't. Bill HATED being around them.  

"Yo Billy boy, you gonna get your ass up and dance or are you going to continue to shred your beer label?  It's a party man. Come party with us!" Richie looped an arm around Bill's shoulders.  

Bill raised an eyebrow tearing his eyes away from Stan and Jackson laughing on the dance floor.  "God how much have you had to drink?" Bill asked his drunk friend.  

Richie shrugged.  "Way too many man.  Good thing you're driving us home huh?"

Bill nodded.  "Yeah. Also no I don't feel like dancing."  He went back to watching Stan.

"You should tell him man.  This whole pining thing has gone on way too long."  Richie flopped down in a chair next to Bill. "He likes you too ya know?"

"Beep beep Richie."  Bill muttered tearing his eyes away when Stan kissed Jackson.  "He doesn't like me that way. He lives with his boyfriend. They're probably gonna get married."

Richie laughed.  "Dude they totally fucking wont.  Jackson is a slut. He sleeps around on Stan.  Stan is too much of a coward to end it."

Bill's head shot up.  "That's not a funny joke."

Richie held up a finger and pulled out his phone.  He showed Bill texts between himself and Stan where Stan admitted to finding Jackson cheating.  "It's true Big Bill."

Bill felt fury fill his body.  He didn't remember standing and going over to Jackson.  He really didn't mean to punch the guy in the jaw but he definitely felt the pain in his hand as Jackson fell backwards at the force.

"What the fuck?!"  Jakcson yelled over the loud music.  Stan rushed to his boyfriend's side.  

"Woah!  Way to go Big Bill!"  Richie yelled out holding Bill's abandoned beer.

"You think cheating on my best friend is ok?"  Bill yelled out rushing at Jackson again. Stan jumped between them.

"Bill what the fuck dude?"  Stan looked furious with him.  

Bill stopped mid fury.  He stared at Stan. "Why do you let him cheat on you?  You deserve so much better than this piece of trash."

Stan stared at Bill as if seeing him for the first time.  "It was a mistake. We are all human William."  

Bill's whole body felt like ice as he watched Stan help Jackson up and they left the party.  

Richie looped an arm around Bill's shoulders.  "You feel better after hitting him? Cause that was one hell of a hit."  

Bill shrugged Richie's arm off him.  "No, I feel like shit now. He called me by my actual name.  He's never done that."

"He'll come around just give him time.  He's totally in love with you." Richie grabbed Bill's hands.  "Now you owe me and Eddie a dance."

Bill yanked his hands out of Richies.  "No, I'm going home. Get another ride."  Bill grabbed his jacket and left. He drove back to the apartment he shared with Eddie and Richie.  He flopped down on the sofa and texted Stan.

I'm sorry Stan.  I don't know what came over me.  Can we forgive tonight?

Bill stared at his phone for a good hour before he got a reply.

Forget my number William.

Bill felt his heart break.  He scrambled trying to think of ways to make this right.  The only way he figured to make it right was by apologizing to Jackson which was something he really didn't want to do.  He sighed flopping back against the sofa. He stayed there until he heard Richie and Eddie come home. 

"Billiam!  You're awake!  You ditched us, Kelsey had to drive us home.  She swears she's never doing that again." Richie yelled out.  Richie was definitely drunk.

Bill sighed.  "Take some advil and go to bed Richie."  

Richie giggled doing as he was told.  Eddie joined Bill on the sofa.  

"Why did you hit him?"  Eddie asked softly staring forward at the TV.

Bill dragged a hand down his face.  "I don't know ok? I just got so mad seeing that he was cheating on Stan."

Eddie nodded.  "I get that but.."  Eddie trailed off. "Stan's really mad Bill."

"I know that!"  Bill covered his face with a pillow.  

"He doesn't want to see you anymore.  He texted the rest of us asking us not to have you around him."  Eddie sounded sad. "I don't want that. You guys have always been friends."

Bill sighed again.  He removed the pillow from his face. "I don't know how to fix this."

Eddie shrugged.  "Maybe give it time?  Stan can't hold grudges.  He's not good at them."

It turned out Stanley Uris was better at holding grudges than anyone thought.  He didn't talk to or hang around Bill for the next three years. Bill spent the next three years stalking Stan's social media just to feel like he still had his friend.  He wanted his friend back and every text he sent or call he made went unanswered. He and Stan finally ran into each other when Bill and the rest of the group was helping Richie and Eddie move into their house.  

Stan looked around at the shocked group sadly.  "Hey guys.."

Bev rushed forward and hugged Stan. "Jesus we missed you."

Stan smiled.  "Thanks Bev."

Bill stood back rubbing at his neck.  "Uh..guys I should go…" He turned to head to his car.

"Bill wait!"  Stan yelled out following after Bill.

Bill turned around.  "Yeah?"

Stan rushed forward and hugged Bill tightly.  "You were right, I'm sorry."

Bill hugged Stan tightly.  "Huh? What do you mean?"

Stan smiled at Bill.  "Jackson was a real jack ass.  I never should have stayed with him much less married him."

Bill's  eyebrows rose.  "Oh um..congratulations.  I didn't know you got married."  He felt his heart break all over again hearing that Stan was married.

Stan held up his left hand no ring on his ring finger.  "Divorced actually."

Bill felt his heart soar for a moment.  "Oh I'm sorry to hear that.."

Stan chuckled.  "I'm not. You were right that night you know.  I did and do deserve better. So I divorced him and found better."  

Bill felt his heart drop to his stomach.  "Oh well congratulations are still in order I guess."

Stan grinned taking his phone out of his pocket.  He handed it over to Bill. "Can I get your number again?  I missed my best friend."

Bill put his number in Stan's phone frowning a bit as he saw Stan's lockscreen.  Stan and his new man on a boat looking so in love it physically hurt Bill.

As the years went by Bill and Stan talked but Bill never dated.  He still held a torch for his best friend. He stood by Stan's side as Stan married Jesse, a nice enough guy but definitely not someone Bill saw Stan with.  He was there for the birth of their first kid, all the birthday parties and he was there as Stan buried his husband too young. A drunk driver hit him head on.  Bill straightened his tie and laid a hand on Stan's shoulder. "I'm so sorry Stan."

Stan turned to Bill.  "Is it bad if I say I'm glad he's free?  I mean our marriage was in shambles and he was depressed as fuck."

Bill looked surprised for a moment.  "Um..a little fucked up but I don't know."

Stan smiled slightly.  "Yeah it is isn't it?"

Bill suddenly felt the urge to laugh.  He didn't know why but the whole situation just felt so fucked up.  Stan smirked at Bill before masking his face into grief. Bill felt envious as he watched Stan work the room perfectly and the grieving widower.  When the funeral was over Stan had the whole losers club over to his house after the funeral. Stan played the role of the perfect host. Bill cornered him in the kitchen.

"Cut the act Stan.  You're around friends. It's ok to fall apart."

Stan shrugged.  "I'm not gonna fall apart Bill.  I knew my marriage sucked. I stayed in it for my daughter.  I'm free now. Jesse wasn't a bad guy but he wasn't the one I wanted.  We both knew that."

Bill's mouth hung open.  "Who did you want?"

Stan raised an eyebrow.  "You're seriously asking me that?  You don't know how in love with you I am?"

Bill froze.  The whole room melted away as he only saw Stan.  "What?" He whispered terrified he was dreaming.  

Stan stepped forward and placed his hands on Bill's face.  "William Zach Denbrough, I love you and I've always loved you."

Bill felt his heart pound as he stepped forward and pressed his lips against Stan's.  Stan kissed back feverishly. 

Bill pulled away first for air.  "Fuck, I've waited so long for you to say that."

"You should have said it first dumbass."  Stan teased going in for another kiss.  

"Yeah I should have."  Bill mumbled against Stan's lips.  

"Finally!  Can we party now!"  Richie yelled out.

"Beep beep Richie."  Stan and Bill said at the same time holding each others hands.

Writing Challenge!!

Writing challenges are always so fun to do, so I decided to make one myself for a change. It’s also almost (not really) my birthday and I want to celebrate!!

It’s that time of the year again where it is cold outside, the leaves are falling off the trees, you just want to curl up under a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and watch a movie... Or is that just me? 

Anyway, I love watching a good movie, or even a bad one sometimes.

This is why in this challenge, all prompts are quotes from movies! 

Rules are pretty basic, I’m not fussy about anything.  (prompts > “Keep Reading”)

You don’t have to be following me, but it would be nice of you, of course, if you did

Reblog this post to join and/or spread the word

Send me an ask wherein you choose a prompt 

Make sure you have a possible back-up if the said prompt is already taken

Preferably, I would like to have one story per prompt, but just in case anyone is really set on a prompt that has already been chosen, or if somehow by miracle every prompt is picked and more people want to join, each prompt will have two slots. (so one regular, one “emergency” slot)

All prompts are movie quotes, but your story doesn’t have to be based on the movie itself or have anything to do with the movie. Interpret the quote any way you want.

BE ORIGINAL! 

BE CREATIVE!

HAVE FUN! 

I would like to call myself a multifandom blog, but who am I kidding. I’m MARVEL’s bitch. 

Write about any MARVEL character/ actor (+ the Hollands/Harrison) you want but

if you want to do a different fandom, you are more than welcome!

Just don’t forget to tell me in your prompt request who you will be writing for.  

Fluff, angst, smut ... everything is allowed - just make sure to tag it.

NO UNDERAGE SMUT! Just don’t be gross, in general 

No, first person, but other perspectives are good to go

Any length of writing is good, but if it is longer than 500 words, make sure to use the “Keep Reading” option.

so the story can be a one-shot, two shot, a series < including a part of a series you already have going on.

When you post it, make sure to tag me and use the tag: 

#Z’s Movie Night Challenge

FOR AN EXTRA CHALLENGE (or if you just can’t pick): hmu with an ask telling me and I will pick for you! But do still mention who you will be writing for then.

Deadline is my birthday - December 18th!

The Weekly Rundown (10/07/18-10/13/18)

Sorry so late! I’m getting caught up on articles. Almost there :) Time to rundown what I’m watching, loving, hating and everything in between! Spoilers ahead!

God Friended Me (”The Good Samaritan”)

Confession time: I didn’t pay very close attention to this week’s episode, but Miles and Cara continue to be adorable. Pretty sure I ship it.

Manifest (”Turbulence”)

I’m not really feeling the chemistry between Josh Dallas and Athena Karkanis. However, the chemistry between  Melissa Roxburgh and JR Ramirez is smoldering.

Josh Dallas is my blue eye baby who makes me feel all the things. He conveyed so many emotions without saying a word in the scene where Ben and Grace discussed the man in her life. WOW!    

I want to believe Grace is in love with Ben and not Danny (because it's Josh Dallas and that's all the reason she needs), but I'm not buying it... yet

The whole twins being different ages is a never ending mind bender.

Seriously though what did Ben do for a living?

The Gifted (“coMplications”)

All I want is for Marcos to hold Dawn forever and snuggle with Lorna. Why can’t I have the things that I want?

But seriously though these Marcos and baby scenes are killing me.

Marcos fighting the Frost sister’s mind control was amazing. He was ready to tear everything apart to get his Lorna and his baby. SO HOT.

Andy, buddy what are you doing? Sure, they gave you a better hair cut and cool clothes, but Reeva is crazy. Tell me you know that boy!

I’m having trouble understanding why Reed didn’t want to tell his wife and daughter his powers were coming back. He has two mutant children! They tried to equate Lauren’s fear of “coming out” to Reed’s but it’s just not the same. He was her parent and he hunted mutants. She legitimately feared her father’s rejection. Reed isn’t in the same situation at all and I see no reason to for him to be lying to everyone for months.

Kate hugs Reed once he tells her the truth, which is nice, but were we really expecting her to reject him? Did the writers forget they have two mutant children?

The Gifted blew past all the build up to Clarice and John’s relationship and now they’ve sewn the seeds for the break up - in the third episode. This whole “Clarice is a spy for the Erg and lies to John about it” storyline is only going one place. John is doing his fair share of lying and pushing Clarice away. Needless to say I am unhappy with how this relationship is being handled.

F.B.I. (“Green Birds” and  “Prey”)

Finally got caught up on F.B.I. I thought “Prey” was a much stronger episode than “Green Birds.” 

I am so glad they cast Sela Ward! I love her. Her character is much more likable as Maggie and Omar’s boss.

I’m here for Omar doing hot things because Omar is hot. I feel warm every time he talks about his military experience. 

Still a little iffy about this show, but I’ll stick with it for now.

This Is Us (Katie Girls)

The depth of my hate for Jack's father knows no bounds.

"Or you can stay and I'll kill him." Honestly, I was okay with that option too Jack.

Randall is a mess watching his brother's movie and I stan this bromance so hard.

I am really freaking glad Randall is taking Kate on because I AM SO MAD AT HER.

Well that conversation swerved quickly. Stay on point Randall.

Okay well now we're off on a whole other thing and Kate is crying. Good grief children.

Not sure how Randall & Kate's discussion became a fight about adoption. The point was to discuss Kate's insensitivity regarding her remark about being the only person able to pass on Jack's genes. How did she turn it into Randall's insensitivity about her miscarriage?

Beth, Miguel and Toby having a group text to discuss their messed up in laws is AMAZING.

Randall is terrible at apologizing but also WHY IS HE APOLOGIZING?

I'm trying to hang with my girl Kate here. I've had a miscarriage and it's devastating, but your personal pain is not an excuse to be hurtful to others. Understanding where Randall was coming from was not a long bridge to cross.

I am so relating to Kevin putting the pieces together regarding Jack's service.

Beth got fired? NOOOOOO. My Beth!  

Toby's reaction to Randall showing up was gold.

KATE AND JACK ARE DREAM SEQUENCING AND I AM NOT OKAY. Btw Jack could you advise Kate to stop being such a jackass to Randall? Thanks bro.

Awkward Rebecca and Jack is the worst. You are soul mates kids. Get it together.  

Jack wants to marry you Rebecca and have lots and lots of babies. You are his dream.

I hope Randall and Beth have 9 months of savings. Suze Orman says you need 9 months of savings.

Marriage is never 50/50. But I think Beth and Randall have been going 90/10 for awhile and it's time for that ratio to shift.

I love how the writers find commonality in their characters in ways you never thought of before. Randall and Toby sharing their struggles with depression and anxiety was such a beautiful way to bond these characters

Kate wanted to marry Mark Paul Gosselar. Same girl.

"You came across the country to say you are sorry. That's the most Dad move ever." HELLO KATE. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. You could have added that he didn't need to apologize and you are the one who is sorry but I don't want to editorialize too much. Carry on.)

Rebecca pulled a Jack Pearson on Jack Pearson. EPIC.

Marry you the man who does dishes. 

A Million Little Things (”Save The Date”)

HOLY. FREAKING. CRAP. THEY. ALL. FOUND. OUT. That was fast y’all! Wow!

If we’re blowing past the big affair secret does that mean we’ll find out the reason John killed himself? It’s an annoying mystery. Cough up the answers, show.

All the awards to Grace Park. She’s been sadly under utilized on this show until now and boy did she come out swinging. The scenes where she confronts Eddie and Delilah were amazing. 

I cheered when Grace slapped Eddie. I have no sympathy for him. He’s cheating because his wife is gone at work all the time? It’s called a mortgage jackass. Guitar lessons aren’t going to get it done. 

It irritates me when people act like they have no choice in who they sleep with. Eddie is walking around like falling in love with Delilah was an accident. Listen pal you are a grown ass man. You made choices. Own it. Cheating is such a mean thing to do.  Nobody is forcing anyone to stay in these marriages. Get a divorce before you go hopping into bed with someone else.

I’m only slightly less angry with Delilah but that’s only because her husband jumped off a building. Her scene where she screams to friends to ask if she was the reason John killed himself was gutting. Guit is a bitch.

By the way, even if Jon made his peace with the affair it doesn’t make the affair okay. Also, nobody asked for Katherine’s opinon. Pretty sure she’d tell everyone where to stick if if they’d did though.

I feel like Gary is representing the audience in this episode, i.e. me. I don’t think the writers needed to muddy the water with Gary’s issues with marriage, his parents divorce and his birthday. I understand Jon and Delilah were his shining example of marriage bliss, but we didn’t need to make this about his childhood trauma. His anger was warranted by itself. Delilah and Eddie did an awful thing.

We need to move it along with Maggie’s storyline. She’s the friends-with-benefit-rando-friend-everyone-just-met-but-pretend-like-they’ve-known-her-since-always. Her impermanence in all of these people’s lives makes the level she’s included in things... odd. Let’s get the cancer out in the open and solidify her relationships - particularly with Gary. 

Blindspot (“Hella Duplicitous”)

Jane's hair is long. That's how ya know she's evil again

Seriously how do they not know Remi is back? She's so cranky. Jane is much more cheerful. Also, I feel like her voice is three octaves lower.

Remi can fight with samurai swords. Who knew? A list of all of her skills would be great.

Do I call her Remi or Jane y'all? I'm going with Remi for now.

Remi's impression of Jane being worried about Kurt was pretty spot on. Well played evil one.

Anyone else enjoying Remi looking all murdery every time anyone mentions Roman is dead? Same girl. Except I'm sad Luke Mitchell isn't on the show anymore not murdery because that'd be weird.

Jane's dying except she's Remi so like that's a double dose of suck.

Oh score. Cure. This is like Elena being vampire. They'll fix it. I ain't worried. Imma gonna get Jeller babies. Or should I say PLEEEEEEEEEASE give me Jeller babies.

OH MY GOD SHE'S HALLUCINATING ROMAN. Luke Mitchell IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so here for Roman being the crazy voice in Jane/Remi's head.

Sorry Remi. Your super evil terrorist group is canceled. Sorry not sorry girl. Watch Season 1-Season 3 and catch up girl.

Two Sandstorm operatives is more like a club than a terrorist group, but okay Remi. Gotta start somewhere I guess.

It's weird that the cure is re-erasing Remi's memories but also let's re-erase Remi's memories. I ain't a fan.

Damn. Blake is dead? That... was unexpected. Okay so now I'm imagining that Blake and Roman are happy in heaven together. Leave me to my dream.

Kurt is scared... I love you my cupcake.

Wiping her memory and meeting Kurt Weller was the best thing that ever happened to Remi because she's not nice and Jane is awesome. Kudos to Blindspot for reinforcing their central love story while also wreaking absolute havoc on it.

Is Zapata evil now? Is everybody evil now?

Weitz is director. Ugh.

"You can't keep watching me all the time." Girl, he does that when you are totally healthy. Kurt Weller giving Jane fuzzy bunny stares is the show. Seriously, someone show Remi S1-S3.

Haha. She squeezed Kurt too hard to hurt him. What a bitch. Also awesome.

Zapata's smile when she sees Reade on TV. Girl go home.

Rich and Patterson are gonna cure Jane using Santa magic and it's gonna be friggin awesome.

Reciting the wedding video is creepy Remi.

Noooo.... don't break out Mama Shepherd. She be crazier than you Remi and at this point that's saying A LOT.

HIGH SCHOOL AU

High school. Parties with stolen booze, a sleep schedule that is more fucked up than every student on Monday morning and Netflix being your only friend. Fun right? Maybe for most. But not for you. For you high school meant falling asleep at school every day, only eating junk food and making your homework at 3 am because you forgot to make it during school. You didn’t have time to go to parties, not like you were invited to them, and you didn’t have any friends to hang out with. You used to have them.

You were one of the ‘ popular ‘ kids in middle school even though popular kids are just always the bitches and backstabbers. But, that wasn’t you. You were a nice kid. When a new student arrived you would show them the ropes and make sure that they had a group of friends at the end of the week. Sadly, no one did that for you when you went to high school. You thought that you would stay friends with your old group from middle school, but when they all got a summer glow up and you got a summer glow meh, they ditched you. Even Sebastian. Sweet old Sebastian.

He was nice, athletic, his parents were friends with yours. Your moms used to joke about how you two would get married later. You two would just nod and smile. You would talk so much during the weekly dinners that your parents gave you a separate table so that they could have some peace. He still talks to you like nothing happened during those dinners. But there are a lot more silences in between those talks. And at school, he pretends you don’t exist. Or rather, his friends do so. Maybe it’s because they don’t know you. But Sebastian never bothered to introduce you to them.

“ Miss Y/L/N, what’s the answer to question six? “ Miss Smith askes. You quickly look at the paper laying in front of you. What happens if a car that is driving with 50 miles an hour shoots a ball away from it with 50 miles an hour? Wait, didn’t you read a Wikipedia article about this last night? “ It would just fall down? “. She sighs, probably expecting you to give the wrong answer. “ Okay, let’s move on to the next question. “.

You sigh in relief as you let your head rest against your hand. You look over each of your classmates, but your eyes stop on Sebastian. He too is looking your way. He smiles at you and you give him a little wave. He wants to wave back to you but is stopped by a friend whispering something in his ear. Of course, he has to be stopped.

You wait for him by his locker. You always waited for him on Wednesdays. Those were the days he would eat at your house. You lean against the cold metal doors as you see him approaching you. He takes a quick jog to get to you faster. “ Hey, “ he says as he brushes some loose hairs out of his face. “ Hey. “. You step away from his locker so that he can open it. “ So, what are we eating today. “. He closes the locker after grabbing his books and turns towards you. “ Lasagne. Are we gonna walk or take the bus? “. Please say walk, please say walk. “ Let’s take the bus, okay? “. Fuck. “ Sure. “. You hate the bus. Yes, it was nice that you didn’t have to walk but every time you took the bus you would sit alone because some girls in skirts so short they were practically a belt stole Sebastian away.

As the doors of the bus opened, everybody stormed inside to get the back row of seats. The best seats according to everybody. They were softer than the rest. Nobody knew why, but it was true. You sat there once. It was like sitting on clouds. Sebastian was quickly pulled away from you, like you expected, by a group of girls. “ Is it okay if I sit with them, Y/n? “. You nod your head. It’s not like what you would say matters. Those girls would still sit with him even if you said no. You take a seat for yourself. Everybody walks around you like you are some kind of rat carrying the pest. But who could blame them? Nobody ever said anything to people that don’t really have friends.

The bus ride went by to slow. You thought for a good minute or so that time had just stopped or that you were stuck in a time loop. Or maybe died and send to hell, because being stuck in a school bus? That’s hell. You quickly make your way out of the bus when it came to its first stop. Sebastian steps out of the bus, laughing at his friends, Chris, next to him. “ Y/n, is it okay if Chris tags along for dinner? “. You nod your head. “ Thank you. “ Chris says as you three start to walk towards your house. You like Chris. He is nice, kind, sociable. Everything you wished you could be. Plus Chris always makes you laugh.

“ So at five minutes later I find him, covered in barbeque sauce, sitting on the lawn while crying about the eggs he just at. “ Chris finishes his joke. You burst out in laughs and Sebastian does the same. You grab Sebastian’s arm for some support as you stop walking. Chris lets out a chuckle as he sees you practically dying of laughter. The phone in your pockets starts to ring. You calm yourself down as you answer it. “ Hi, mom. What’s up? “. you say. “ Hi sweetie, look, we are going out to a restaurant with the grownups, “. The Grownups. That’s how your mom would call them when they were going to do something without their children. “ So you and Sebbie can order some pizza. I left some money on the table. We won’t be home too late. Love you. “ she says as she hangs up.

“ Okay great news, our parent are going out to dinner or something so we can order pizza. “. Sebastian and Chris give each other a high five. “ You know what this means, Tiny? “ Sebastian asks you. Tiny, you have always loved that nickname. “ Pizza party! “ you three say together.

The pizza was a bad idea. Well, not pizza but eating five whole pizzas was a bad idea. It wasn’t a good idea to eat ice cream afterwards and maybe watching the Titanic wasn’t a good idea as well. It all escalated so quickly. One moment you were sitting on the couch ordering pizza, the other you were five pizza’s in with a spoon full of ice cream in your mother while two jogs were crying along with you as Jack died. “ There i-is enough room on the t-that door for both of t-them. “ Sebastian cries as he takes another bite of ice cream. “ Come back, Jack. “ Chris says as he rests his head on your shoulder. “ Jack! “ you cry as you follow Sebastian’s lead of eating ice cream. “ Come back! “ you three cry together.

We’re going to sleep in a hotel, you’re home alone tonight.

That was the text your mother sent. You knew what that meant. Your parents were going to have sex. It’s fucked up to think about your parents having sex but you quickly figured out that when they were ‘ sleeping in a hotel ‘ they were there to have sex.

You didn’t mind being home alone, no, you loved it. The castle to yourself. Being able to go the seven eleven at 3 am to get doughnuts. That’s a good life. You look over to Sebastian and Chris cleaning up the ice cream and drying their tears. They weren’t like those guys who would say that ‘ they aren’t crying, there is just something in their eye ‘. No, they would full on cry and own it. What’s wrong with crying?

“ Guys, great new. My parents aren’t home tonight. So I guess you could stay until the crack ass of dawn or something. “ you say as you help them by throwing away the pizza boxes. “ You know what this means, “ Sebastian says. “  Slumber party! “ he and Chris say in a high pitched voice to mimic some middle school girls. You laugh as you tag along with the happy scream they let out.

How was a sleepover a good idea again? It’s awful. Well, yeah it’s fun. But the position you are laying in is so bad. You three wanted to lay in the same room and your bed was too small for the three of you. So Chris decided that you could lay your mattress on the ground and surround it with pillows to create a big mattress. It was a good idea until you realise that both boys like one position most to sleep in. Starfish. Arms and legs stretched out as far as possible. So you decide to sleep on the small loveseat you have in your room. But that thing is almost as hard as a rock. “ Good night. “  Sebastian says with a sleepy voice. Chris replies with some murmuring, probably already asleep. “ Good night, “ you say back.

A/N: The end is bad I know but it’s hot outside and i’m dying

Thats So Us - South Park fic (beta)

Since I don’t have a AO3 account yet, I thought why not post this here. Leave a comment and your thoughts. English is not my first language and this has not been beta read yet. Thank you !  ------------------------------------------------- "Are you sure , you just don't wanna stay at home and help your mom out , son? " Randy said in a pleating voice. Stan stood at the door , suitcase in hand , awaiting his taxi to the Colorado collage campus. It was a bleak Saturday morning, just a full weekend before the start of the semester. He know some of his 'old gang' had already arrived there by now. "Randy, don't be so dramatic. You weren't dramatic when Shelly left either. " Sharon sneered at her husband, who was nearly crying. Okay, scratch that he was bawling his eyes out. Stan simply sighed and rolled his eyes before pinching the bridge of his nose. " Dad, please. It's not like I am going off the world map. Come on dude..." He sighed deeply.  He surely had cried the nights before, not only because Wendy decided to break up the night before he would leave, but also because he had so many memories here in South Park.  He hugged his parents one last time and waved his 110 year old grandfather good-bye.  The taxicardriver had already opened up the trunk and the door ,signing him to get in.  Stan got his suitcase in and get in the taxi, who quickly and mercilessly drive off to his destination. For a Saturday before the start of the new semester it was fairly quiete. At least so Stan thought. He had always assumed that it would just like high school. But with more groups and culture. The lad with dark hair and a beanie left the taxi, payed the man and unloaded his suitcase from the trunk. As the taxi drove off again, he came to realise how alone he was right now. Of course he knew he would meet up with some of friends again who were studying here as well. He and Butters would follow the same courses for most of the time . Kyle would probably be with him during calculus classes, seeing he was following some lawyer course or accountant.  He wasn't sure what Kenny would be doing , he did enter college as well. But he was always a tad vague on what he'd wanted to major in. Miraculously Eric had also joined the campus grounds. Stan wasn't too thrilled about it, but it was nice knowing a lot of familiar faces were here. It made him feel less anxious. He stepped onto his dorms porch and walked inside. Some fellow students were chilling and gaming in the living area , others were talking by dorm rooms. It seemed fairly okay and normal.   " FREE THE TIDDIES ,WOOOOHHH!!" A dude steaker ran past Stan.  ' Wait was that... Kenny?' He thought, but shook his head, pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.  Yes, just a normal and well-behaved dorm. He continued to follow the room numbers until he arrived at his assigned door. He knew he would get a roommate, but was happy he was ,so far, the only one there for the time being . He set up his stuff, unloaded his suitcase but kept his ukulele in it's bag and placed it near his desk. He decided to hang up some posters and place a photo album near his bed.  When he wanted to grab some of his clothes out of his bag, a collar fell out. It was of his dog Sparky who had passed away a few years back. He held it close and wrapped it around his wrist.  One of the reasons he wanted to major as a vetrenarian , was so he could perhaps help out animals , which he always had a deep interested for.   Once he had everything set up he layed down on his bed, resting his eyes.   --- Stan was always one of the popular people in school. No matter where he’d go, either his usual gang or some people he had never met talked so easily to him. It be about small talk, it be deep conversations about aliens or how cows digest their food. It was never boring to talk to the raven haired boy with the red poofball hat. He remembered getting it for his birthday from his grandparents. Back when they both were healthy and had joy in life. It wasn’t until after his grandmother had to move to a nursing home and his grandfather got worse, things slowly started to get more depressing. Funny how some small events, have such big impacts. His folks would fight more often, or perhaps he just noticed it more. His sister never really cared much for him, at least once he had his friends. Not that it really mattered, he had Kyle, Kenny and Cartman and Wendy Testaburger. Beautiful Wendy, they had on and off relationships more frequent that a light switch. He didn’t really get it, but they somehow managed to be together. Though in the later years it was more a facade than anything else. Still it really broke his heart this time. She wanted to have nothing to do anymore with him. Where it go wrong? Well, Stan knew where it went wrong. It was the weekend after the graduation party. And it was going to be a beautiful night, perfect for a date. He wanted to have a special night with Wendy, before he ran off to college. They had been having a great time again, after a mini pause in their relationship. The usual. They would go for dinner, a movie and remorse about memories they had of their little town in Colorado. Of the South Park elementary years and high school years. Stan got Wendy to his place, his room. He had planned it all out, his parents were out of town. His sister already out of the house and on her own. The two ravens would be together and spend the night together. Like they should have. They would have been drenched in each others sweet and waking up in the morning together, that was how it should have gone.  “Stan, what the fuck is this. Are you… Are you – “ Wendy couldn’t get the words out, holding a journal in her hands. A journal, belonging to Stan. “Jesus, Wendy don’t through my stuf-“ Before Stan could even finish Wendy pushed the journal in his hands. “You know what Stan, fuck you, this is over. Forget about anything. Have a great time experimenting at college. Or - right,  never mind, you already did. “ Crying, Wendy Testaburger ran out of the boy his room. Normaly Wendy was very understanding of stuff like this, but this was Stan. The boy she had been going out with since 3rd grade. The boy who changed for her, tried so many times to patch things up and still somehow made her feel special. The boy who had been through some pretty stupid shit, but would tell his girlfriend everything. The were no lies or big secrets in this ‘light switch’ relationship. Stan had promised her so many times , she was the only one he would ever love. And now that she had seen a differnt side of him, it almost seemed like he had cheated on her and made a fool of her. At least , that is how she felt. Continueing to cry, she ran away from the boys room, his house, his street.  The boy, falling into a slum , he grabbed the bottle of jack and Daniels from his drawer and began drinking it away like no tomorrow.  He sat up on his bed, crying and ripping each page from his journal. He looked at his phone. He could have called her, but he knew it wouldn’t solve anything. She now knew, a secret he had carried with him since 6th grade. He looked through his phone numbers, Kyle being on top of the list. His super best friend. Sure they had a major fall out somewhere in 2016, but somehow they managed to patch things up. He pressed ‘call’ and hoped for the best. Kyle had been on holiday in New Jersey for the summer until he’d go to college. The same college Stan would enter in about a small 2 nights.   It remained silent. “Hey, it’s Kyle –“   “Kyle, I-“   “-I’m not hear right now, so leave a mesg. “ Stan sighed and dropped his phone from his hand onto his bed. Tears rolling down his pale face.  “Guess it’s just you and me now…. Heh…” insanely laughing and raising his -already half emptied - second bottle to the photo of him and Sparky.  ---  “ Guess it’s you and me now.” A familiar voice said. Stan heard a door open and close, opening his eyes in front of him stood a man with ginger hair, styled but still a mess. He sat up straight on his bed when he recognised who the figure was. “ Kyle?!” Overly happy to see his friend he sprinted out of bed and glomped him. Stan noticed the boy who he had spent nearly his whole life with, had grown a bit taller since last time they’ve seen each other.   Kyle had arrived about a week earlier, not by own choice but more because Gerald and Sheyla had pushed him to do so. “So you can prepare. “Those words echoed through the ginger-haired boy.   His dad had drove him to campus and although he didn’t exactly like that idea, he had a few nice short convos with him. Though, he slept through most of the ride anyway.   Once there he had said good bye again to his dad before going off onto the campus ground with a way too heavy suitcase his parents packed for him. He would’ve much rather done it himself, but he guessed starting an argument before he left wasn’t a smart idea. His parents did sign him up for this college and funded the majority. Even though it wasn’t anything in his dream job field, he didn’t hate it. And the paycheck wouldn’t be too bad. Kyle quickly found his room and got settled in. He unpacked most of his stuff from his gigaton weighing suitcases. It was mostly just clothes and a few trinkets. He hanged all the clothes in his closet and put some books and a laptop on his desk. Even though it seemed like his folks had packed an entire house for him, the room was pretty much still empty. He didn’t have a roommate yet, but frankly he didn’t want one either. He just wanted to spend some relaxing alone time in his room not to be joined by some assdouche that smoked weed or played loud music. He didn’t mind any parties though, which were bound to happen at some point in dorms like this. He just wasn’t too fond of having chaos in a small confined room, that was meant for studying and sleeping. Plus, he had to share his space with a younger brother, parents and friends that would visit whenever they pleased. So, for once having a place to himself, was such a freedom.   He did imagine that, yes. He however did not imagine a few days later he would step into the room seeing his super best friend Stan again. It was pleasure to share that small piece of freedom with him.   “Hey, dude. “

JACK BENNY’S 20th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

November 16, 1970

Produced by: Irving Fein, Stan Harris

Directed by: Stan Harris, Paul Heslin

Written by: Hal Goldman, Al Gordon, Hilliard Marks, Hugh Wedlock Jr.

Starring the Cast of “The Jack Benny Program”

Jack Benny (Himself) was a Beverly Hills neighbor of Lucille Ball’s and the two were off-screen friends. Benny appeared on “The Lucy Show” as Harry Tuttle (a Jack Benny doppelganger) in “Lucy and the Plumber” (TLS S3;E2), later did a voice over cameo as himself in “Lucy With George Burns” (TLS S5;E1), and played himself in “Lucy Gets Jack Benny’s Account” (TLS S6;E6). He was seen in four episodes of “Here’s Lucy.” Benny and Ball appeared on many TV variety and award shows together. He died in 1974, a few weeks after taping “An All-Star Party for Lucille Ball.”

Mary Livingstone (Herself) married Jack Benny in 1927 and the pair remained together until his death in 1974. Initially an actor who appeared on Benny’s radio and television programs, she retired from show business in 1958, at the same time as Gracie Allen, wife of George Burns. Her voice (lip synched by Lucy) was used in “Lucy and Jack Benny's Biography” (HL S3;E11). She died in 1983.

This is Livingstone's first appearance on her husband's television show in fifteen years.

Don Wilson (Announcer. Himself) was a portly man with a deep resonating voice that made him very popular with sponsors in the early days of radio. He teamed with Jack Benny on radio and when Benny made the move to television, Wilson made the move as well, until 1965, when “The Jack Benny Program” ended.

Dennis Day (Himself) was an Irish singer who’s name and career were synonymous with Jack Benny’s, working with the comedian on radio and TV. It was Benny who gave him his big break in 1939 and Benny who kept him employed as a singer and naive comic sidekick. His “Gee, Mr. Benny!” became a well-known catchphrase. Day would play second banana to the comedian until Benny’s death in 1974. Day played an elderly bachelor hunting on a 1967 episode of “The Lucy Show” (S6;E7). Day died at age 72 of Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Day's real-life wife, Peggy Almquist, and his ten children Tommy, Pat, Margaret, Eileen, Danny, Therese, Cathy, Mary Kate and twins Michael and Paul. The childrens' surname was McNulty, Day's birth name. None of the family are credited.

Eddie Anderson (Rochester) was Jack Benny’s valet and sidekick first on radio and then on television. He co-starred with Lucille Ball on “Stars in the Eye” (1952) and one other Jack Benny special in 1969.

Mel Blanc (Sy / Airport Voice) is best known as the voice of Bugs Bunny and other Warner Brothers characters, but had acted with Lucille Ball on radio and in the 1950 film The Fuller Brush Girl. He did some voice dubbing (ADR) on “Lucy Goes To The Air Force Academy: Part 2” (HL S2;E2) in 1969.

Frank Nelson (Ticket Clerk) is the only actor to play two recurring roles on “I Love Lucy”: Freddie Fillmore and Ralph Ramsey. He also appeared as six other characters. He appeared in the first of the "The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hours” as well as a 1963 episode of “The Lucy Show.”

Benny Rubin (Information Desk Clerk) played the snarky Hollywood Bus Driver in “The Tour” (ILL S4;E30). His first “Lucy Show” appearance was in “Lucy and the Runaway Butterfly” (S1;E29) and he was also seen in “Lucy and Viv Open a Restaurant” (S4;E20) in 1964.

Guest Stars

Lucille Ball (Janet, Benny's Maid) played all of the women in Jack Benny's life (including Mary Livingstone) on her own show in “Lucy and Jack Benny's Biography” (HL S3;E11) which aired just one week after this special. Benny paid tribute to Lucy on “An All-Star Party for Lucille Ball” (1974) just prior to his death. 

Ball receives no screen credit but gets a verbal thank you from Benny at show's conclusion. Lucy has three lines and 30 seconds screen time!

Frank Sinatra (Himself) had appeared on “The Jack Benny Program” in 1951. Benny returned the favor by appearing on “The Frank Sinatra Show” that same year. Sinatra inadvertently appeared on “I Love Lucy” when a clip from his film Guys and Dolls was inserted into “Lucy and the Dummy” (ILL S5;E3) in 1955.  

Sinatra is billed as 'Special Guest Star' in the opening credits.

Bob Hope (Himself) was born Lesley Townes Hope in England in 1903. During his extensive career in virtually all forms of media he received five honorary Academy Awards. In 1945 Desi Arnaz was the orchestra leader on Bob Hope’s radio show. Ball and Hope did four films together. He appeared as himself on the season 6 opener of “I Love Lucy.” He did a brief cameo in a 1964 episode of “The Lucy Show.” When Lucille Ball moved to NBC in 1980, Hope appeared on her welcome special. He died in 2003 at age 100.

Dinah Shore (Herself) was born Fannye Rose Shore in 1916. She was a singer, actress, and television personality, and the top-charting female vocalist of the 1940s. She rose to prominence as a recording artist during the Big Band era, but achieved even greater success a decade later, in television, mainly as hostess of a series of variety programs. She later changed her named to Dinah after her success with the song of the same name. She was famous for blowing a kiss to her audiences (“Mwah!”) at the end of each show. She appeared on “Here's Lucy” as herself in 1971. Her passions were golf, cooking, and painting. Shore died in 1994.

Dean Martin (Himself) was born Dino Paul Crocetti in Steubenville, Ohio, in 1917. He made his screen debut in a short playing a singer in Art Mooney’s band, but his first big screen role was 1949’s My Friend Irma with Jerry Lewis. This began a partnership that would be one of the most successful screen pairings in cinema history. Later, he also worked frequently members of “the Rat Pack”: Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford, and Sammy Davis Jr. His persona was that of a playboy, usually seen with a glass of booze and a cigarette. Martin and Lucille Ball appeared on many TV variety and award shows together and made the TV movie “Lucy Gets Lucky” in 1975. He played himself (and his stunt man double) on “The Lucy Show” on Valentine's Day 1966. He died on Christmas Day in 1995 at age 78.

Red Skelton (Western Union Messenger) was born Richard Skelton in 1913. He left school after the third grade to join a traveling medicine show and from there entered vaudeville. His first film was Having Wonderful Time in 1938, which is where he first met Lucille Ball. The pair went on to appear together in Du Barry Was a Lady (1943), Thousands Cheer (1943), Ziegfeld Follies (1945), and The Fuller Brush Girl (1950). Skelton played himself on “Lucy Goes To Alaska” (LDCH 1959). He did two episodes of “The Jack Benny Program” in 1956 and 1958. He died in 1997 at the age of 84.

George Burns (Voice of the Talking Telegram) was born Nathan Birnbaum in New York City in January 1896. He married Gracie Allen in 1926 and the two formed an act (Burns and Allen) that toured in vaudeville. They had their own hit show “The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show” first on radio then on CBS TV from 1950 to 1958, airing concurrently with “I Love Lucy.” He appeared as himself on “The Lucy Show” (S5;E1) in 1966 as well as doing a cameo on “Lucy and Jack Benny’s Biography” (HL S3;E11) in 1970. After Allen’s death in 1964, Burns reinvented himself as a solo act. In 1976 he won an Oscar for playing one of The Sunshine Boys. He was also known for playing the title role in Oh, God! (1978) and its 1984 sequel Oh, God! You Devil. Burns and Ball appeared on many TV variety and award shows together. He died at the age of 100.

TRIVIA

This is the last television show that reunited the entire cast of the Jack Benny radio show. Most of the cast made appearances on Jack Benny's television show as well.

Jack Benny had his own radio program since 1932. He brought the program to television (along with his radio regulars) on October 28, 1950. Jack remained thirty-nine-years-old, kept his money in his basement, and drove his old Maxwell car, just as he had done on radio. The television show ran until 1965. For the first five years, the show aired concurrently on radio and television. The TV program produced 931 episodes. It won an Emmy Award for best comedy show in 1961. 

In October 1964, Lucille Ball was featured on a program where she played Mrs. Paul Revere. After the regular half hour show was canceled, Benny embarked on a series of bi-annual specials. Lucille Ball appeared on three of these specials.  

This show was sponsored by Timex.

As always, Jack Benny's theme song is “Love in Bloom.”  

In the subsequent special “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Jack Benny But Were Afraid to Ask” (March 10, 1971), Phil Harris thinks he's arrived in time for Benny's “20th Anniversary” show, but Benny tells him that it was four months ago.

Lucy, Benny, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, George Burns, and Red Skelton, all appeared in the patriotic TV special “Swing Out, Sweet Land” which aired two weeks after this special on November 29, 1970.

THE SHOW

Announcer Don Wilson introduces Jack Benny, live on stage. He gets sidetracked saying how ungrateful Benny is. Jack watches from the wings and finally comes on stage to rebuke Wilson. 

Benny: “You were just supposed to introduce me!” Wilson: “Introduce yourself!” (He walks off)

After a few opening remarks about his years on television and radio, Benny introduces Dinah Shore, who was also a guest on his very first TV show in 1950. They reminisce about that show. Dinah sings “All of a Sudden My Heart Sings” by Harold J. Rome, Henri Laurent Herpin, and Jean-Marie Blanvillain.

Dean Martin knocks on Jack's dressing room door to wish him a happy anniversary and dance “The Anniversary Waltz” with him. They sing and dance out the door. The bit lasts less than 30 seconds.  

After a commercial message from Timex, Red Skelton skips on dressed as a Western Union messenger to give Jack Benny a telegram. He makes Benny laugh when he says “I'm a dreamer, aren't I?” while holding his hand out for a tip. He is on screen / stage for less than a minute.  

Skelton has delivered a talking telegram from George Burns, which instructs Jack to hold it up to his ear to hear the message.  

Voice of George Burns: “Only an idiot would stand before 40 million people holding a telegram up to his ear.”

Benny has recruited Rochester to drive him to the airport for his trip to Mexico City. 

Wondering about the departure time, he asks at the information booth, manned by Benny Rubin. Whatever Benny asks him, his answer is “I dunno.” 

The ticket clerk is played by Frank Nelson, who greets him with his trademark “Yeeeeeeeeees?”

At the airport, Benny runs into Dennis Day, his wife Peggy, and their ten (!) children.  

Rochester gives Benny's overweight luggage to a Mexican man (Mel Blanc) on the same flight. 

In response to everything Benny asks, he says “si”.  The man's name is “Sy”.   He has a sister named “Sue.”  

Blooper Alert! Despite this familiar old “si / Sy / Sue” routine, Benny mistakenly calls Rubin “Sue” then corrects himself saying “si” before Rubin chimes in “Sy”.  

Benny hears hears a flight announcement that says his trip is delayed. Another voice comes on the public address system to say:

Voice (Mel Blanc): “Attention please. Attention!  Plane leaving at gate five for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cucamonga!”  

This is one of Mel Blanc's earliest routines from the Jack Benny radio show. Instead of a train station, here it is an airport.

Blanc's voice announces a flight for Alaska and three penguins come toddling toward the gate. These three penguins were also featured in “Jack Benny's Birthday Special” (February 17, 1969), which also starred Lucille Ball, Benny Rubin, Don Wilson, and Dennis Day.

Bob Hope does a monologue about Jack Benny. Benny joins him onstage and Hope sings “Thanks for the Memory” (his theme song) with special lyrics about Benny's age. In response, Benny sings a few bars of “Love in Bloom” (his theme song) with special lyrics about Hope.

A helicopter lands in the studio and Frank Sinatra steps out of it! Frank invites Benny to go to the movies after the show. The double feature is The Kissing Bandit (1948) and The Horn Blows at Midnight. The Kissing Bandit is a film starring Sinatra that he loathed. The Horn Blows at Midnight is widely considered Benny's worst film. Sinatra sings “I Get A Kick Out of You” by Cole Porter. Sinatra  substitutes the alternate lyric “Some like the perfume from Spain” instead of “Some get a kick from cocaine.” However, instead of following with “I'm sure that if I took even one sniff” he sings “I'm sure that if I took one look.”

After a commercial, the scene is set in Jack Benny's home, where Mary Livingston picks up the telephone. It is Jack calling from the studio. He asks her to join him after the show for supper. 

Mary calls her maid, Janet (Lucille Ball). Ball gets a huge round of applause from the studio audience.  

Janet reveals that Mary's been on TV the whole time because Jack has hidden a camera behind a painting of Betsy Ross!

Back in the studio, Benny introduces film clips from his past 20 years. Stars include Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Ed Sullivan, Humphrey Bogart, Fred MacMurray, Kirk Douglas, Liberace, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Nat King Cole, Ginger Rogers, Charles Boyer, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, David Niven, Carol Burnett, Raymond Burr, Johnny Carson, Andy Williams, Rock Hudson, Dan Rowan, Dick Martin,  Tom Smothers, Dick Smothers, Cary Grant, Billy Graham, Lawrence Welk, Dan Blocker, Robert Goulet, and Phyllis Diller.

Jack Benny thinks ahead to what the next twenty years will bring. Flash forward to Rochester with white hair and a cane answering the door to a bald Don Wilson and a stooped over Dennis Day. A creaky Bob 'Road-To-Medicare' Hope joins them, supporting himself with a walking stick. A gray-haired Dinah Shore comes through the door and blows everyone one of her famous kisses “Mwaah!” The kiss sends her reeling across the room. Jack skips down the stairs energetically, not having age one iota since 1970 and distributes scripts to his ancient co-stars. Even though Jack Benny died in 1974, only four years after this special, he will forever be only 39 on TV.  

After the last commercial break, Jack takes a moment to thank his co-stars, and all of his viewers throughout the world. The camera pulls back to reveal an unfurled stack of computer printout and Benny starts reading the names of his viewers – alphabetically! “Mr. and Mrs. Tony Ames, Miss Terry Arco, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Aaron, Mrs. Andrew Aaronson...”

The Horrible Boyfriend

Summary: Sebastian, your best friend, loves you. Like, he loves you a lot. But there’s just one thing in his way; an asshole of a boyfriend

Pairing: Sebastian Stan x Reader

Word Count: 2278

Warnings: swearing and some of my more nastier insults so I’m sorry if I offend anyone (he is meant to be a horrible boyfriend)

A/N: Oooh, I really do like this one, it was pretty cool to write. Thank you to @theimpossibleg1rl for requesting this awesome idea! 

Requests are open | Masterlist

The doorbell rings right as you’re taking a bite of your leftover pizza. With an exaggerated groan, you dump the remaining slice to the box. “Coming!” You holler through the apartment, fixing your pyjamas before opening the front door.

“Surprise!” Sebastian Stan grinned, holding out his arms. Your face goes from confused to excited within a second and you’re launching yourself into Sebastian’s arms.

“Sebby!!” You shout, holding him tightly as he, too, wraps his own arms around you. He lifts you for a moment, making you squeal, before placing you on the floor, grabbing the bags he’d dumped either side of him.

“Mind if I crash?” He grinned and you barely had enough time to agree before he was walking into your apartment. You didn’t complain, that’s usually how it was with him. You followed him through the apartment to the living room, where he dumped his bags before throwing himself onto the couch.

“Just make yourself at home, then,” You giggle as you grab two soda cans from the fridge before joining him on the couch, handing him one. Sebastian stretched out, placing his legs on your lap before stealing a slice of pizza, asking for you to flick through the channels.

Sebastian was your best friend, and you constantly felt super happy to be able to call yourself that. He was the greatest friend you could have ever hoped for, knowing that if there was anything bugging you, you could go to him.

He’d been away for filming for six months, so you hadn’t seen him. Of course, you both kept in contact, barely a week going by where you didn’t talk or send memes. But you missed him terribly, and knew that the next few months would be mostly dedicated to spending time with him.

“You’ve got the spare room, but I think I’ve stacked a few of Derek’s clothes in there,” You say nonchalantly. Sebastian resisted the urge to groan or make a negative motion at the mention of your boyfriend.

Derek was, as bluntly as could be put, an asshole. Seb didn’t know why you couldn’t see it. It was obvious that he was using you, turning up whenever he was horny and only being nice to you when the situation suited him.

He forgot anniversaries, special dates; even birthdays! Sebastian made to never forget your birthday, even going as far as to memorise your parent’s birthdays including some other special dates. Of course, you’d do the same for him, but this was different.

Sebastian was completely and utterly in love with you.

And, oh, how he planned on telling you. It was right before you met Derek. Seb had taken you out to a local party, introducing you to a few people he knew before you were both introduced into others you didn’t.

He’d been psyching himself up the whole night, preparing to pull you aside at any point in the night to tell you how he felt. But then you met Derek, and that put everything out of whack.

It hurt, seeing how happy you were with him. To be fair, Derek was an incredible boyfriend at first. Sebastian was always first priority, so he’d hear all about him from you. He heard about the dates and the presents and the surprises.

And all the while, Sebastian couldn’t help but think that he could’ve given it to you. All the wonderful memories you were getting, he wasn’t in any of them. And, just when he was about to move on, about to let his crush go, he realised just how cruel Derek was.

And Sebastian couldn’t leave you to this-this animal.

So he stuck around; for two years. Two years, is how long that bastard had been dragging you around. Sebastian knew you could start to see something, that something was constantly off with Derek, but he had a suspicion detector.

So, whenever you’d have doubts, he’d be the greatest boyfriend again for a week, tops. But Derek knew, he knew Sebastian didn’t like him. But he knew that Seb wouldn’t say anything. He didn’t want to compromise your happiness.

As long as you were happy, he was happy.

“Has Derek moved in yet?” Sebastian wondered, although he didn’t really much care. You sigh as you lean forwards, swiping a pizza slice from the box.

“No. We haven’t really talked about that kind of stuff yet,” You say, although, you were lying. You had mentioned, on several occasions that you wanted to move in with Derek. Clearly, he had other opinions.

“Wha—You guys have been dating for two years! You want to live with him, right?” Sebastian asked, sitting up from the couch a little.

“You… well yeah, but—Sebastian,” You sigh but he calms a little, shaking his head as he rolled slightly on the couch, opening his arms. With a soft smile, you take up his offer and slide down the couch until you rested amongst his strong arms.

“You know I’m just tryna look out for you,” He sighed, holding you gently, but close.

“I know,”

The doorbell rang. “Oh, that’ll be Derek!” You pipe up, standing from the couch and running to the door. Sebastian tried to bite back his annoyed look as you throw open the door. He watches as Derek half-hugged you before walking inside, not bothering to wipe his shoes.

“Derek, you remember Sebastian?” You offer, following behind your boyfriend to the living room. As soon as his name was mentioned, the Romanian stood from the couch, tensing his muscles and thanking his tough workout regime for Marvel.

Derek was taken aback for a moment, clearly remembering Sebastian being a little smaller. Sebastian grinned as politely as he could without looking smug, pleased that he was being successful at intimidating him.

“Oh, yeah. The actor guy. When did you get jacked?” Derek asked, shaking Sebastian’s hand slowly.

“Recently for a film. I had to play a soldier so I can shoot a gun and everything,” He grinned, unnerving the man further. You laugh, thinking that your best friend was making a joke before shaking your head

“Alright, boys, let’s go!”

There was a party on that night, that you, of course, invited Sebastian along to last minute. He wasn’t up to much partying, especially when he didn’t know a lot of people, but you were going and super excited for it so he couldn’t turn you down.

Besides, you’d spent six months apart; he was more than willing to take any chance he could get to hang out with you.

The venue was a relatively big one, and for good measure. There were plenty of people. Not enough to chase him away, but enough to get him slightly nervous. And Derek would try and keep you as far away from Sebastian at all times, so he’d have to try and entertain himself as best he could.

He found himself watching you a lot from the bar. He slipped away a while ago, counting the seconds until you figured out he was gone. Which you did quite quickly, but Derek made quick work of distracting you, ignoring your questions and introducing you to his friends.

Sebastian watched closely as you were all but ignored from then on. You attempted conversation, trying to get along with Derek and his friends, but nothing seemed to be working. After a solid half hour, you finally found Sebastian standing near the bar.

You slipped away, smiling with your best friend as you sat at the bar next to him. “Great party,” Sebastian smirked sarcastically as you order yourself a cocktail. You give him a pointed, mocking look before receiving your drink.

“It was Derek’s idea. It’s his mate’s cousins something party,” You reply, not completely sure of the true host of the party. Just as you were starting a conversation, Derek appeared, dragging you onto the dance floor.

He gave Sebastian a warning look over your shoulder whenever you weren’t paying attention as he danced with you through about three songs before he got distracted with other females. And, just like that, you rejoined Sebastian, pretending to look tired, even though, you could dance for another several hours.

As you sat back in the barstool, rescuing your drink from your best friend, you look up to find Derek already trying to surround a few other girls. Your smile faded before taking a big sip of your drink. He did this often; way to often for you to count.

You don’t know why you didn’t just leave him. You knew Derek was an asshole, that he was a terrible boyfriend. But you just couldn’t leave him, you couldn’t find the confidence just to shut the door on him.

You looked to Sebastian, catching him when he least expected it. He was drinking his own beer, and glaring in the direction of Derek. He knew. He knew exactly how bad Derek treated you, and yet he never said anything. You shared almost everything; why stay silent?

“You don’t like Derek, don’t you?” You asked, catching him off-guard as he looked up at you.

“What? Why would you say that?” He laughed, playing off his previous scold.

“Seb. How long?”

“Since you met him,” Sebastian said after a sigh, placing his beer to the bar counter.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Because you were happy! Because you loved him. I couldn’t ruin that for you,” Sebastian sighed, looking away. There was more he wasn’t telling you, but you didn’t want to pry. He didn’t seem to want to talk about it.

“Do you want to dance?” You ask, smiling at him as you place your cocktail on the table. Sebastian looked up at you, cocking an eyebrow before smiling and nodding, taking your hand and leading you onto the dance floor.

You couldn’t help your laughter when Sebastian started pulling out all these horrible moves. He did them on purpose, trying to hear your laugh. It was among many things he missed about you while filming.

Someone pushed you from behind and you tipped, managing to collapse into Seb’s arms. You giggled as he held you, brushing hair out of your eyes before looking up at him.

A explosion of emotions rippled through you, shocking even yourself. All these repressed emotions, feelings you’d had for years but ignored came spiralling through you, unbalancing you. Sebastian wasn’t saying a damn thing, and yet your mind was filled with his voice.

Kiss me.

You couldn’t tell if he said that or if it was just your imagination, but you didn’t hesitate for a second. You ran your hands up his chest before dragging them through his hair, pulling him down slightly so you could meet his lips with yours.

Sebastian was shocked for a moment, surprised that he was kissing the absolute love of his life. But he leaned into it, seizing a gentle control as he pulled you tighter to him, drawing a moan from the back of your throat.

This was perfect. Everything about this was perfect. Your fingers in his hair, your lips against his, his arms securing you to his chest; it was everything he could have hoped for. He wanted to stay in that moment forever, to never leave this point in time.

But then reality came crashing down around him.

“What the fuck?” Derek’s crude voice snapped in over the top of the music and Sebastian could feel a clamping arm on his shoulder before he was thrown away from you. Derek wasn’t strong enough to pull him to the ground, only staggering him slightly.

“That’s my girl you’re kissing!” Derek growled angrily.

“I’m sure I’m allowed to, considering you’ll kiss any other girl in the state,” Sebastian retaliated.

“Derek, leave him alone, it was my fault,”

“You shut your whore mouth! I’m gonna teach this two-faced, communist, fuckwit a lesson,”

“Excuse me?” You scream at him, surprising both men and the few people around you. You’d never yelled at Derek before, or anyone for that matter.

“What did you call me?” Sebastian growled dangerously, but didn’t fight back when you took his hand, dragging him away from Derek.

“We’re leaving,” You announced but the horrible boyfriend attempted to stop you.

“You can’t just leave a party! You’re still my girlfriend, and you’ll do as I say,”

With a fearfully dangerous expression on your face, you picked up your cocktail and threw it at Derek, letting the alcohol and cordial splash against his face. “Consider that our breakup!”

With a humph, you storm past him, dragging a surprised and ecstatic Sebastian. “And for the record, you’re thinking Russian, not Romanian, prick!” He shouted over his shoulder before you left the venue all together.

You let out the frustrated growl once you’re outside before letting Sebastian go, expertly kicking a nearby pole so you didn’t hurt your foot.

“So stupid! How dare he treat you like that. We’ll never see him again, I’m changing the locks,” You threaten, still fuming. Sebastian turned to you, unable to wipe the smile from his face.

“You dumped Derek, because of me?”

“Are you kidding? No one insults my best friend and secret crush in front or behind my back,” You say, not realising just exactly what you said. Sebastian’s cheeks flushed but the smile only widened.

He stepped forwards while you were distracted and took your cheeks in his hands, pressing his lips up against yours. He couldn’t believe he was kissing you for a second time this night, but he wasn’t about to stop now.

“I don’t think you understand how long I’ve wanted to do that,”

“Then shut up and kiss me again,”

So wait Lance was born on the release of the Emoji movie, and Keith was born on the Anniversary of Welcome To The Black Parade right? 

Well if you look at the meaning of both of the memes it kind of works along side of their (Fannon mainly, yet still cannon) personalities. 

The Emoji movie meme was created with such an impact because one man (Jack Douglas) meme’d the living hell out of it while it was still relevant. I’m talking Q&As, Frame by frame analysis of the emoji movie trailer, and getting invited to the world premiere of the movie itself. 

And if you really think about it, isn’t that what we Lance Stans essentially do? 

He’s so popular because he is given us so much to work with. He’s a very diverse character with a lot of hidden sides to him that pop in and out at will. And with that we’ve done essentially the same thing that Jack has done. We’ve meme’d him so much that we have grown attached. 

We’ve done stuff like back to back character analysis, development analysis, predictions, fan art, short happy fics (or sad), just posts with screenshots and gifs of him alone. Essentially, he is a meme, yet he is also something we love. Lance as a character is kind of corny, very extravagant and kind hearted yet, despite all of that, he is trying his very best to “fit in” essentially, with the team and the team’s dynamic. With the emoji movie it’s fucking corny and extravagant as shit and it tries to work with the new dynamic that modern society has created for it but ultimately fails to smooth itself into our standards of consumption. 

What I’m trying to say is that while lance definitely has some contrasts with the Emoji movie, it still stands that he is similar to it in terms of his fandom popularity. 

Now with Keith, the Black parade meme mainly originates from people making fun of either their past Emo phase or people making fun of other’s essentially (even lightheartedly). The Black parade itself (while is a kick ass song) comes from a very edgy band named My Chemical Romance. While Looking at Keith’s character, you can also notice similarities to the song itself. I.e. Keith being the “lone wolf”, stereotypical edge, emo hair™, social isolation (even though he doesn’t mean to do that), and fears of abandonment. 

Welcome to the black parade is arguably about a son who looses his father and has to get through life despite that. He seems to loose his father at a very young age and struggles through the obstacles of social life. Which Is similar to Keith bc we can assume from season 2 ep 8 that he still remembers what his father looks like, but not enough to really build a truly solid personality. As well as he himself admits in his vlog at “having some walls up” and he admits to not really being able to socialize the way he wants. 

Keith mirrors the boy in the song in that sense and through that understanding we get a sense of loneliness, edginess, and isolation all in one. But he’s still just a teenage boy trying his best to navigate the brutal waters of socializing. Especially since he is in a freaking war. 

Basically, Keith and Lance are perfect for the memes their birthday falls on thank you for coming to my ted talk.

And I’d give up forever to touch you 

Where Your Heart Is: Louis is ready for his brand new adventure. So what if he suffers from a genetic condition that prevents him from being touched? College is going to be awesome. It has to.

Forget about the gloves he has to wear at all times. He’s here to expand his knowledge, write and drown himself in books – No matter how distracting ‘Hallway Boy’ may be– The obnoxious, flirty frat wannabe determined to become the bane of Louis’ existence.

Don’t Let Me Go by Harry Styles

Somebody to Love by Queen

I just gotta get out of this prison cellOne day (someday) I’m gonna be free, Lord!

Atlas At Last : He doesn’t know what he had been expecting out of the road trip itself besides burping contests and too much shitty gas station food with Oli and Stan, but in the brief moment before Harry ambles up his driveway, Louis idly wonders if this is about to become some sort of Gay Coming of Age story.Maine to California in ten days. In which Zayn’s an open-shirt hippie they meet somewhere in Ohio, Liam’s the pastor’s son running away from home, and Niall’s the number they call on the bathroom wall.It’s 1978.

Right Now by One Direction

You know I can’t fight the feelingAnd every night I feel itRight nowI wish you were here with me

Love Is A Rebellious Bird : AU in which the boys still make music. Louis is the concertmaster of the London Symphony Orchestra, Harry is the New! and Exciting! interim conductor/ex-cello prodigy who “has made Mozart cool again” according to Esquire Magazine (Louis hates him immediately, which is definitely why he internet stalked him in his dark bedroom late at night that one time), and Niall is the best.

He bears it with dignity.

Just Hold On by Louis Tomlinson

If it all goes wrongDarling, just hold on

You Are The Blood : A seventh-year Hogwarts AU in which Niall gets all the girls, Liam goes on a journey of self-discovery, Zayn falls in love, Harry wants something more, and Louis tries to figure out once and for all why he, a Muggleborn, was sorted into Slytherin.

Baby Heaven’s In Your Eyes : A sixth form!AU where Harry is the fucked up bad boy with too many problems, Louis is the perfect rich boy with too much money and their schools are right across from each other. They meet at a party and that’s the last (and maybe the only) thing they need.

When their paths cross, there is no doubt they belong together. Except for that one, essential difference: they didn’t receive the same date.

Jumpin’ Jack Flash by The Rolling Stones

I’m Jumpin’ Jack Flash

Escapade : In the grand scheme of things, finding a date for a wedding should be no problem for Louis Tomlinson. He’s rich. He’s handsome. He’s reasonably well behaved. But when the wedding is for his lifelong best friend (and former boyfriend), and is happening in under a month, finding a date for the ceremony and accompanying festivities becomes more of an adventure than he ever could have planned for. 

18 by One Direction

Long before we both thought the same thingTo be loved and to be in loveAll I could do is say that these arms were made for holding youI wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18

Red Brick Heart : Uni AU. Harry had turned up at the halls of residence expecting fun, new friends, and maybe a life experience or two. What he doesn’t expect is a surprise roommate who’s loud and dramatic and obsessed with tea and is maybe, actually, all he’s ever wanted.

A celebrity among football fans, he knows how to play, he knows how to party, and he knows how to fuck (all of which is well known among his legion of admirers).Louis Tomlinson is a student and an athlete, but his similarities to Harry end there. Intelligent, focused, independent, and completely uninterested in Harry’s charms, Louis is an anomaly in a world ruled by football. A bet about the pair, who might be more similar than they originally thought, brings them together. Shakespeare, ballet, Disney, football, library chats, running, accidental spooning, Daredevil and Domino’s Pizza all blend into one big friendship Frappucino, but who will win in the end? 

No Control by One Direction

PowerlessAnd I don’t care it’s obviousI just can’t get enough of you

Asleep by The Smiths

Deep in the cell of my heartI really want to goThere is another worldThere is a better world 

Here In The Afterglow : 1970’s AU. In a tiny town in Idaho, Louis’ life is changed forever by the arrival of a curious stranger. 

From the Dining Table by Harry Styles

We haven’t spoke since you went awayComfortable silence is so overratedWhy won’t you ever be the first to break?Even the phone misses your call, by the way

These Inconvenient Fireworks : Future AU in which nobody tries out for X Factor but the boys end up finding one other eventually anyway.

Sunburn by Ed Sheeran

You scarred and left meLike a sunburn 

Empty Skies : For three years, Harry has been running from his past. Now, he is moving to London and pledges to fulfil his only dream – making it big in the music industry. Not everyone has a place, though, and the competition is tough. As is his past catching up on him.Louis is part of the biggest boy band of the world, and getting there had meant a lot of hard work, as well as sacrificing parts of his heart and soul. He’s still happy. Maybe not as happy as he could be, but who is he to complain?

Pine Trees by Jake Bugg

You can sit in the pine treesYou can feel at homeYou can breathe a sigh of silence in the woods

May We Stay Lost On Our Way Home : On March 31st, Harry Styles disappears. Though many speculate, only two people know where to find him: Niall, his former guitarist, and Zayn, who follows where Niall leads.The fact the biggest boy band in the world broke up two weeks earlier might be related to the disappearance. The fact Harry meets a fairy named Louis in the woods is a whole other matter.

Colors by Halsey

Everything was greyHis hair, his smoke, his dreamsAnd now he’s so devoid of colorHe don’t know what it means

Gods & Monsters : The instructions were simple: seduce and destroy Harry Styles. Not once did they discuss the option of Louis actually falling in love. So, naturally, that’s exactly what he did.

Weavers Wood Alpacas

The rain has driven me inside and compelled me to replace my weblog at last! Like everyone else we've been taking motion towards the mud and bog over the previous few days to keep our girls and boys as clear and dry as potential. On the day earlier than Christmas Eve, just as we had been in the eye of the storm of pre-Christmas preparations, our un-neutered boy Boris all of a sudden determined that he wished a girlfriend. He is now 3 and till lately he was such a quiet and gentle boy that we'd determined to maintain him entire and wait and see how he acquired on. He also has a slight heart murmur so I did not wish to risk an operation if it was unnecessary. However on the 23rd December (nice timing) I found him half-manner over the fence into the girls paddock orgling like crazy. It should have been the sherry and mince pies. Anyway he's now on the vet castration list for this Thursday and the women are in one other paddock. This was a lesson realized. Sooner or later I will all the time castrate my non-stud males. We had a fantastic autumn promoting our yarn and knitwear. We could not sustain with orders and did really well on the Christmas markets. There may be so much demand on the market for nicely-made alpaca merchandise.Our enterprise mannequin relies on our cottage-industry model and other people love to see photos of the actual alpacas that their gloves or beanie come from. It is extremely rewarding but super exhausting-work. Earlier than Christmas I was knitting about 6 hours a day for a month! My new 12 months resolution is to do extra blogging. Let's see if I can follow it..

His fleece was a dingy white from rolling before he even dried. Under Riphaeus is standing for the first time and the placenta is emerging. Riphaeus is awkwardly looking for the milk machine.
