[ulyflynn]

Dirty faced and still in something adjacent to shock, Uly had had to get away from the rest of the residents and the onlookers that were still crowding the scene of what had once been his home. He hadn't been able to salvage much in the chaos of the evacuation, just his scrambling boxer-clad best friend who had been couch-dwelling with him since the storm.

( As long as Asher wasn't ashes he could figure out the rest. )

He felt separated from it from where he stood in the park, watching the billow of the dark smoke ascending into the night sky like he hadn't been inhaling the very same less than an hour ago. All of his feeds were moving a mile a minute, information zipping around as well as things that definitely sounded false.

He had just been reading a tweet from his cousin's ex when he heard a voice speak to him, turning in the direction it originated from. It was hard not to know who Jackson Ellis was, especially after living in and around Aurora Bay for as long as he had. The nonchalance emanating from him was exactly what he would expect.

"I don't know, think that's the previews." His head gestured to the smouldering apartment building they had both been looking at in the distance before he holds his phone out to him and show's him the tweet that he had just been reading.

"I think chargrilling your daddy was the main event, Jacky boy."

Did he know that for sure? Not at all, but like most of his non-factual thoughts, he stated it any way.

Starter for: everyone & anyone // the city park

There wasn't much Jackson could do or wanted to do. The apartments were on fire and well, shit happens. All he could do was get the word out and hope that people were out in time. He did end up finding himself watching the smoke rise from the city park. He had been sitting on a bench as others either passed or were rushing to get to their destination. It was was weird witnessing the chaos that was occurring, but it wasn’t like that town hadn’t had it’s fair share of it lately. He stood as he needed to head home to check on his mother. Just as he was about to walk towards his car, he noticed another person watching the smoke as well. “Glad to know I’m not the only one watching the show.” He said as he approached them.

This post is long

Anybody feels disappointed there wasn't enough angst, mistrust or tension between Gi-Hun and In-Ho? Angst!Inhun

I love these old lovelies and this ship with all my heart but I can't help but feel like it was lacking in overall conflict. Two people working together,main protagonist and main antagonist being allies. Gi-Hun's massive trust issues that were played up in the first 2 episodes leading up to him joining the games didn't nearly impact enough as the episodes proceeded. The significance of #01 and that connection to the old guy from S1(help I forgot his name😭🙏🏻).

I needed In-Ho proving and bending over backwards to have Gi-Hun trust his ass. In-Ho was on a mission to infiltrate Gihun's trust before ripping it apart last second as a "I told you so honey".

Gi-Hun definitely had a stronger tense dynamic with Sangwoo in the game, yes you could argue their childhood besties and have known each other for as long as possible but it doesn't change the fact Gi-Hun was weary of Sang Woo and showed several moments doubting his authentic nature in the game, especially after glass Bridge.

GIVE ME A HANDOUT! I need them screaming at each other and having a power struggle with Team X, I need them driving each other crazy and wanting to beat the living shit out of each other(although they never come to blows😉). Fake player In-Ho and Gi-Hun's dynamic was IMO wasted and could've been so much juicier. I'm happy with what we got but...

The greedy desperate cunty that I am needed just a little more gravitas and sprinkles of a little bit of this and that in their relationship. Gi-Hun should have been 100% suspicious and kept his guard up with In-Ho after he was the sole responsibility why everyone continued in the games post-1st vote. His red flags should have been going off crazily. Gi-Hun joined the game with focus not to play the same game again and play as Level 1, nah bro. He had his stats and composure maxed out.

He should have made a mental note of In-Ho never being present(becausenowayGihunwouldsuddenlyforgetahandsomemofolikethat)for waking up,red light green light and before the vote. Blud just teleported in. Gi-Hun had no real reason to trust In-Ho either but let me run with it before I get cooked by everyone(I still ship but the writing was a little questionable)

I would have loved Gi-Hun and In-Ho to have a conversation after 6 legs about In-Ho 'crash out moment'. That's his first glimpse exposing himself to Gihun without this unpenetratable armor of confidence. He saw In-Ho at a stressed point and would've been nice of him to reach out, make sure he's okay. They have a heart to heart there and In-Ho gets some truth off his chest that he has all this pressure of maintaining a perfect exterior. It would show a sense of inferiority complex and a little more depth of In-Ho in Gi-Hun's eyes. Gi-Hun just has the reason why In-Ho voted 'O and nothing else.

Using the fanon brainrot with this last one but I would have Gi-Hun replace Jung-Bae in the last mingle round of 2 players. It makes sense they would go together, It would be very interesting and turning point in Gi-Hun's eyes regarding In-Ho. It sucks because the writers HAD it right there and just did nothing with it. Jung-Bae not telling Gihun or Gihun ever picking up a sign In-Ho cannot be trusted was so fluffy and for what? I love fluff Inhun but angst Inhun would have went TWICE as hard.

Gi-Hun trust would probably solidify after seeing In-Ho kill that player after he votes for 'X but the potential, the confrontation and doubt needed to be shown so we can see how In-Ho would tip toe around such questions. Gi-Hun asking him where he was during RLGR,why he really voted for 'O in the first game just to turn around and vote 'X afterwards. The writers really let me down with this one yall but still a super sexy toxic ship that didn't fail me. Can't wait to see what Reveal!Inhun has in store for us.

Who: @jcknxlibrm and Courtney

Where: Wingman's Pub

When: October 2024

While on the off night that Courtney wasn't working, she found herself at the pub before going home to an empty trailer. Cohen was working late so she figured grabbing a drink couldn't hurt. Sitting at the bar, she had ordered a maragrita on the rocks, sipping upon it while she scrolled through her phone. Looking up, she noticed she wasn't alone at the bar, but of course she wasn't interested in mingling with anyone. Though she did all of a sudden wish she was her friends or her husband.

[briarrosedahl]

Lars was being a tad difficult that day, so she decided to go to the park, per usual. Her two-month-old son was wide awake, but it was afternoon, and every day she went to the park to do two things, one to socialize with locals since she did not know anyone, and second to have fresh air, instead of being locked up at home. She took him off the stroller, sat on the bench, and realized someone she knew was right by her side… Ben. ❛ Ben, it is you? ❜ They met in Europe, it had been a while since she met him.

Where: The Body Shop When: June 2024 Who: @jcksonfields & kit

She didn't know why she decided to sign up for an one-hour personal training session. She didn't know why she wrote down her name, using Catarina instead of Kit even though no one would use her birth name, except for her late parents when they were mad, and the government. And yet, here she was, waiting for the trainer to show up, already regretting her decision. She was not into sports, but she thought that maybe it could be a nice way to just... unwind. However, Kit's regrets became bigger when she turned to the open door and saw Jackson. "Oh. Hi," she dropped. Didn't she read, somewhere, that he was working there? She should have known. Shit. "I -- I can cancel it, if you don't want to spend the entire hour with me," she stuttered, uncomfortable.

WHO: Lena & @jcksonfields

WHERE: The Festival, Pride Weekend

WHEN: June 9, 2024

So far, the weekend had been perfect. Lena had found herself staying out a little later than planned the night before, had walked in the parade with her friends, and now, all she wanted to do was eat! Which wasn't always the easiest decision to make in the world, when every event Merrock hosted seemed to have delicious food. At the moment, her eyes were scanning over a case of baked goods, when she noticed someone else standing nearby, looking up and instantly recognizing JD, breaking into a smile. "Food break for you, too?"

closed for @riverxjackson location: kismet harbor park

Simran had been on a run through the park when she'd stopped for a break and found herself once again struck by inspiration. How was it that nature could give her the most interesting ideas? She found herself taking a video of the birds that were perched on a tree and speaking quietly to herself on the idea she had for one of the scenes when she felt herself being watched and quickly stopped recording. "I promise I'm not a weird," she said with a laugh before realizing how that made her sound. "Okay so that came out wrong, I am a bit weird. But uh--I'm an author and I just had a burst of inspiration so I had to record it--does that make sense?" Simran could feel her cheeks burning up, she hadn't had to explain her erraticities to anyone in a while.

closed event starter for @riverxjackson

Sawyer had finished the last of her projects and was now free for the rest of the year. It always felt good to have some time off, even if she was thinking of the jobs she had lined up for the new year already. She knew she needed this break, though, and she was ready to do just that. She made her way to get some apple cider and took a drink before she headed to enjoy herself at the winter festival. She found herself overlooking the gingerbread houses and she stood next to someone there and turned to talk to them. "Pretty impressive, huh? If only I could do that with icing."

closed starter for @auroraxjackson location: cobblestone cafe

Diana always hated when her family wasn't the ones working the places they usually did around town. She found she usually got things free, but there were times like now at Stevie's cafe that the woman wasn't there and some new hire didn't know who she was. Leaving her stuff at home, she couldn't pay for her food and she rolled her eyes before looking at a woman at the table. "Hey! Would you mind paying for this? I promise I can pay you back. I just forgot my card and of course my cousin isn't here to spot me." Or just give her a free pass. "I swear I'm good for it."

[travisjackson]

closed starter for @benjaminxjackson location: Travis's new home construction site

The house was starting to look more and more like a home these days. Well, at least you could tell it was supposed to be a house now. There was so much that still needed to be done. He had spent the whole after noon up there and he was sure by now his brothers knew that's where he was if he wasn't at home; especially Andrew now that they lived together. Ben certainly knew as well as Travis heard Molly bark and looked up to see his older brother's car pull up. He stopped what he was working on before waving at him.

[jaceeverett]

WHO: Jace & @jcksonfields

WHERE: Cityview Park

WHEN: Grill Off (September 7)

This time around, Jason had decided to be an eater, not a griller. Although he loved to use his grill on his little deck back at the camper, and spent a good amount of time coming up with new things he could make, after the bake off, and that round of intensity, sitting it out and eating? Just fine by him. But the problem was... knowing where to start. "Don't you kind of wish that you could just give everyone a blue ribbon and call it a day?" he asked JD with a laugh as he stepped up beside him to look over the food in front of them. "Everything looks so good."

[himbovillains]

@awkwardcourage liked for a starter from an oc.

hey, has anyone ever told you that you look like soldier boy? it’s a regular question in his bar, one that he’s getting pretty sick of hearing, especially when you take into consideration the fact that he hasn’t got a single superpower whatsoever. and it’s only gotten worse since news of the attack on vought tower, to the point where he’s considering closing his bar for good. he’s even taken to speaking in lightly french-accented english again, despite swearing off ever doing so again, in the hopes that it might further differentiate him from the disgraced supe.

the sound of the door opening has him looking up from where he’s cleaning glasses, halting his movements as he does so. fuck, should’ve locked the damn thing. he sets down his towel, giving the newcomer a slightly apologetic look. ‘ sorry, i’m closin’ for the night. ’

[jasminexbaudelaires]

It had been a long day at the hospital, and to be honest Jasmine hadn't even thought twice about it when the ranch hands talked about how they were going into town to blow off some steam at the local bar. She had been monitoring a sixteen year old coma patient for the last six months, and today he had suddenly taken a turn for the worst; she wanted nothing more than to drink and distract herself from the feeling of failure that was radiating through her body. She needed distraction, and this was the easiest way to do that. Glaring slightly at the larger shot glass in front of her, she emptied the whiskey from the glass and then ordered herself another shot. She'd opened a tab and knew it would probably get expensive by the end of the night, but she didn't really care; she could afford it. Staring at the liquid inside the shot glass for a few moments, she soon picked the glass up and swirled it a few times before downing it again and setting the glass back down with a heavy sigh.

closed starter for @benjaminxjackson location: outside the pharmacy

Nancy's leg was feeling a little better, but she had to run into pharmacy to pick up her prescription just in case there was any pain. It was mostly at the end of the day that she felt anything, but she still tried not to take them if she didn't need to. On her way out, she wasn't watching where she was going and almost ran into a person. Looking up, she smiled and was glad to see she knew the man. "Ben, hi. Sorry about that. Should really be watching where I go." Especially after her accident.

WHO: Livvy & @jcksonfields

WHERE: Cityview Park

WHEN: November, 2023

After her divorce, Livvy had been pretty hopeless when it came to decorating. She had coaxed a neighbor into helping her the year before, her father before that, but this year... she was determined to get out there and do as much of it on her own as possible. And maybe have some fun with helping others out, too, which is what had led her to Cityview Park, bundled up in a warm coat and boots, hat pulled over her ears. Frustrated, as usual. Thankfully, a savior walked into her view and she called out. "JD! Could you help me? These snowflake lights got all tangled, and I'm trying to decorate this bush."
