so. a thought captured me the other day. about what kinds of cars the undersiders would drive if they could/did.
taylor - 1990 volvo 740. look at it. it just fits. practical and plain but kinda classy.
brian - i know everyone's thinking minivan or station wagon or sedan but honestly a 2005 ford mustang fits way too well. it's a muscle car that is generally widely regarded by car people as being thoroughly mediocre. brian, of course, would not know this. he would see a relatively inexpensive muscle car, think 'that looks cool' and buy it, not realizing that he is going through a midlife crisis at 17. aisha makes fun of him for it.
lisa - porsche 911 (paint: black with purple pinstriping). do i even need to explain.
rachel: older pickup truck, not sure what model (she doesn't care) with off-road tires and upgraded suspension. rusty, smells like dog food, and is probably pretty messy.
aisha: wins award for most terrifying car on the list. heavily modified dodge viper. swapped cams, bored cylinders, forged parts, turbochargers, upgraded exhaust, the works. also has a very cool paint job (something like jet black with neon pink and green accents). the kind of car the main antagonist in a movie about street racing would have.

okay in the tags of ur polyam ghostface cooking post you said driving with them would be worse? and I’d be really interested in hearing ur thoughts abt that 👀
A/N: nonny is referencing this ancient post. because the ask is that old. i am but an easily distracted creature of the night, once again. sorry for the wait nonny!
For starters, you can’t let Stu be the one driving. He does not obey the rules of the road. You’re not even sure he knows the rules of the road. If he does, he’s breaking the rules at a frequency level that implies driving unsafely is a casual hobby for him. Like knitting.
Billy is a better driver. Not always, just when you’re in the car. He’s not gonna risk your life because he likes to go fast and run red lights when he doesn’t see anyone coming.
He’s such a stickler for following the rules in front of you that he side eyes you when you don't do the same. Yes, ladies and gentleman, and gathered beloveds, Billy Loomis is an awful backseat driver.
He will comment on nearly everything you do while driving the car. Didn’t turn on your signal before changing lines? He noticed. Going over the speed limit? Noticed. Going under the speed limit? Noticed. Didn’t slow down for that curve in the road? Hmmm… lots of things you’re doing wrong. Maybe you should just let him drive.
If you want to be passenger seat royalty then congratulations! Here’s your boyfriend! If you enjoy driving you will be running to call shotgun on driving, every-time,. Running to beat your boyfriend to the driver’s side car door. Daily humiliation rituals, truly.
It’s enough that you guys have snapped at one another before and finished the drive home in icy silence. You tried to come around to apologize (even though you were not in the wrong) because you know he’s only worried about your safety.
Also, you were expecting a mutual apology (Billy always sounds pissy, he does not sound any nicer than usual as he’s correcting your driving habits from the passenger seat.)
So why on Earth did he have to piss you off by saying: “I accept your apology. Just wish you’d pay more attention to the road, honestly.” You have to kill him. It’s the only option left.
Stu certainly doesn’t help this hostile road environment because he blasts your eardrums to shit every time he gets the AUX. He will also play annoying music on purpose, because he thinks escalating situations is funny.
He starts playing break up R&B if you guys start really getting into it. Cue Billy turning around to the backseat: “What is your fucking problem, Stu?!”
(One time Stu turned on “I Should Have Cheated by Keyshia Cole” and Billy reached back and started hitting Stu at full strength. You had to pull over the car. What happened to car safety, Billy? What happened to there should be no distractions in the car, Billy?)
Stu would be in charge of navigation but Billy is such a control freak that he can’t let anyone besides himself do it. When he’s the one driving he puts on the navigation voice that tells you when turns are coming up. It interrupts whatever music you have playing every five seconds. He refuses to let you be his navigator. It’s for the better, because if you give Billy a direction too late for him to obey said direction he has to press his lips together very tightly to keep his outside voice from leaving his body in an inside space.
It’s enough to want to just take a fucking Uber.

@gallacrafts Theme 35: Let’s Ride
Ian should really have clocked the teasing smirk on his husband’s face as Mickey pulled up outside Ian’s work, but it’s been a long day and Ian is fucking exhausted, so excuse him if he isn’t at his sharpest. He falls into the passenger seat with a brief ‘hi’ and a heavy sigh, immediately closing his eyes.
All he wants is to sleep through to Monday, but eventually Ian catches on to the excitement radiating off the man in the driver’s seat, drags his eyes open and turns his head, drawing breath to ask Mickey what’s going on. Which is when he sees… it.
“The fuck, Mickey?”
Mickey immediately bursts out laughing. “It’s you, see?”
No. Ian does not see.
“I found it at the gas station, by the check out! The packet said it’s a ginger! … Get it?” Mickey gleefully explains, and Ian? Well. Ian does not have the energy to deal with this right now, so he shakes his head, closes his eyes again, and tries to ignore his husband’s continuous chortle.
He’ll get him back. After he’s had some sleep!
It takes Ian a lot longer than expected and several fruitless online searches - who knew cutsie car air fresheners were that fucking popular?? - but after clicking through seemingly hundreds of different ones - almost giving up and just buying the middle finger one cause… well… Mickey - he finally finds and orders the perfect one!
A grumpy black cat, with scruffy hair, blue eyes, and ridiculously angry eyebrows.
And the crowning glory? The cat is much shorter than the ginger!
“Oh, fuck off!” Mickey grumbles, while Ian beams, attaching the second air freshener to the rear view mirror of their car.
Mickey may bitch about how he’s not “a stupid fucking cat”, and later on that it “doesn’t even make sense. You actually are ginger!”, and even later still “And my eyebrows do not look like that!!”
And yet, Mickey doesn’t take them down.
In fact, Ian often catches Mickey glancing at them - swaying and bouncing against each other as the car rumbles down the road - and sometimes Mickey even cracks a little smile.
But only when he thinks Ian isn’t looking, of course.
The End.
Medium: Felt

I'm still reeling from the episodes but something about Gicheol being suspicious of both Junmo and Euijeong, desperately wanting to believe otherwise. Gicheol giving him his suit to wear, asking him, as gently as he can manage, to not let him down. Junmo going on a "date" with Haeryun, both of them unable to keep Gicheol's name out of the conversation. "He also had a tough childhood like me." Junmo wanting to ask Gicheol's permission before finalizing the deal. Junmo seeing Euijeong, while in Gicheol's clothes, while Haeryun kisses him. "You'll be fine without Mr.Jung, right?" Junmo immediately racing off towards the office, frantically calling Gicheol. The heartbreaking eye contact between Euijeong and Junmo. Gicheol holding her hand and prioritizing her safely above everything else. Junmo seeing red everywhere and finally letting himself go, staining his...Gicheol's pristine beige suit the deepest shade of crimson. "Why do you go to such lengths?" "Because I have someone I want to protect" He looks at Euijeong, but Haeryun looks at Gicheol. They both look at Junmo through the stained glass. What does this mean? Was it really just Euijeong that Junmo was trying to protect? Junmo going guard dog again in the Jaegeon office, one look from Gicheol and he's slicing the guy's achilles off. Sitting in silence, together, in the ER. "Seungho, are you okay?" "Sir, are you okay?" "Are you hungry?" "Yes" "Then let's go eat" Both of them worried about Euijeong. "I can't stop here. I have to see this through" Gicheol taking Junmo to his fucking home, like he only did with Taeho. Sleeping in the same room together, Junmo remembering how fiercely Gicheol protected Euijeong. Him looking at their high school pictures while Minju strolls in and asks him to take care of her brother. Them going back to work only for Gicheol to take matters to the heart while Junmo tries to rationalize. Junmo going to insane lengths and partnering up with Haeryun to see this deal through—for the mission? for Euijeong? for Gicheol? for himself? He's not sure. Actually, these days, Junmo is not sure of anything anymore.
