#not you shane madej sit down

[hotvintagepoll]

I just want to say to the person who submitted the Olive Thomas propaganda that it was specifically the throwaway line about meeting her ghost that swayed my vote. If you see this please tell us more!

The person who submitted that propaganda definitely saw the post and reblogged it, I remember their tags! Would the ghosthunter in the room please stand up?

[theghoulboysblog]

the best thing to come out of quarantine was this watcher weekly episode where shane is rocking a better oblivion community center shirt and a headband. this is my roman empire.

[judgementdaysunshine]

heyyyy soo im new here and i was wondering if i could get a shane madej and/or ryan bergara x reader (separate) with the “how long has has it been since someone hugged you?” or “can i hug you? you look like you could do with it.” from the touch starved prompts

sorry if its like odd or smth but you can skip this if you’d like lol im all nervy ive never requested anything before 😭🫶

Absolutely babes!

You needed this

Pairing: Shane Madej x Fem reader

Description: After having a rough day, your boyfriend helps in the sweetest way

You groan as you get out of your car and walk in your house only wanting to shower, change into pajamas, and watch tv but you stop when you smell food from your kitchen and hear music playing. You take your shoes off and walk in the kitchen to see your boyfriend Shane cooking and dancing to Let's groove by Earth wind and fire, you laugh as he dances while sprinkling salt in the pan as he notices you "Baby you're home how was your day?" you rub your face as he walks to you and puts his hands on your shoulders, you shake your head as you rub your temples and neck feeling the day physically wear on your body, "Can I hug you?" you nod and lay your head on his chest as he wraps his arms around your back and you wrap yours around his waist, you feel some of the stress melt away by the warm and long hug. "Go shower I got dinner going" you smile as you kiss his cheek, going upstairs and feeling the stress and frustration wash off from the hot water cascading down your muscles until the water gets cold, you change into your pajamas and head downstairs to see shane on the couch with both your plates on the coffee table making you smile big as you sit next to him and eat dinner while watching Star wars together "Thanks for all this sweetie" he shakes his head placing a kiss on your forehead as you lay on him with your head on his chest "You don't have to, you needed this for awhile" you smile as you hold hands feeling yourself grow drowsy until you fell asleep on him, he smiles as he moves you slowly to lay on the couch, he gently picks you up and carried you to bed joining you and having you back in his arms as he rubs your side with his thumb.

hear me out, guys .... paranormal streamer ellie

she literally gets unreasonably famous because she's hot and funny and is good with her hands— i mean plays guitar. and one day she's just like, i'd so beat the shit out of a ghost they'd never get me!! and now she just googles 'real haunted houses not fake!!' and goes to the first one that comes up.

she buys a go pro and night vision goggles that look absolutely ridiculous and bulky but she's convinced she looks cool as fuck so nobody says anything 😭 she's jumping out of her skin if the floor creaks but WILL deny it if anyone asks. she'll literally sit down at some point in the hallway and just eat snacks and offer them to the air and saying like, "i got snickers and i know you want 'em because it's been like a hundred years or whatever. come get 'em or something before i eat it all!" (then she hears a creak and immediately hops up, grabs the camera, and covers the mic so no one hears her frantically going "iwasjustplayingiwasjustplayingpleasedontcomeout" she's such a loser i cant 😭😭)

she's soooo shane madej coded i can't even. she'd absolutely say "hey demons. it's me .. ya boy" i can feel it.

if anyone asks, she's saying, "yeah no ghosts are dumb I don't believe in that dumb shit" but after every stream she's looking up every holistic cleansing treatment she can find 😭😭 (my girl owns a LOT of clear quartz and sage. but she'd never admit that.. unless.. you're into it?)

in short it's literally just ellie but with access to the internet 💞 (BIG mistake)

(p.s; this edit inspired this whole thing, i don't know where this came from)

↳ warnings: art not mine

↳ song: deaths song—shane madej

masterlist!

• Not even covid could keep Shane and his love for crazy puppet lore down

• Not that any of that came as a suprise to anyone—the entirety of Watcher was more than aware that it would take a little bit more than a simple lockdown to keep Shane and his musical numbers down

• And so Puppet University online was born

• You were overjoyed to receive a text from Shane one lonely Tuesday afternoon, asking you to star in not one but two episodes he had planned for the season

• "Hey!" It said. "The Proffessor and me were wondering if you'd like to be our special guest for an episode or two. It'd make him really happy!"

• Attached was an image of Shane and The Proffessor sitting on his shoulder and "waving" while the aforementioned brunette flashed what you knew as his closest imitation of puppy dog eyes

• Even without the puppy dog eyes you would have said yes immediately, but it was a pleasant add on

• "Sure. I'll even wear a special little outfit I've made durring lockdown."

• That had garnered his attention but you refused to elaborate further until filming day

• You wanted to get his reaction in real time

• So that's how you found yourself sitting in the cleanest room of your house you could find, donning a satchel and hat that mimicked the professor, smiling as Ryan and Shane—er, the professor, I mean—laughed their asses off at your get up

• "That is so awesome!" Shane said, pitching his voice a bit higher to play the professor, moving the puppet around in excited motions the whole time

• "And guess what else I got." You just grinned in response. Another round of cackles broke out from Ryan as you plunged your hand into the messenger back around your shoulders, pulling out a handful of colorful jelly beans. "I'd give you some if I could right now Ryan, but I guess I'll save them for later."

• "I don't care what you fucking do with them." Ryan had laughed, practically wheezing at this point. "That was just goddamn hilarious."

• "Tumblr is going to love this." Shane added as the professor, prompting more giggles to break out between the three of you

• The rest of the episode went smoothly. Well, about as smoothly as a show about sentient puppets singing about death and history could

• At the end, when the cameras had been shut off, Shane immediately tore the little stage curtains open to stare straight at you through the screen, letting loose a loud shout

• "I can't belive you haven't told me about your fucking hat sooner!!" He was practically glowing with how bright his smile was. You glanced at another part of your screen to see Ryan mimicking the look. "That made my whole week dude!"

• You admitted to them with a smile that you had been working on it since before covid had even begun, hoping to surprise them with it one day at the office

• But this was arguably better, you thought as you watched Shane hang halfway out of the cardboard theater with joy while Ryan clutched his stomach with laughter

• Maybe you'd dress up as a hotdaga character next

• Yeah. That would be fun

Hiii <3 do you have any demon!Shane fic recommendations?

hello! sorry it's been a minute but we've finally gathered some of our members' favorite demon shane fics for you!

fics marked with an ‘♦️’ are written by our server members, can have been written before or after they joined 💙

♦️ Hell and High Water by ouijaboy | T, 5K, ongoing

“I’m telling you, there’s something evil downstairs.”

“And I’m telling you that there’s something disgustingly holy upstairs,” Shane retorts, “but what else is new? It’s been years, Ryan. I really do think they’ve forgotten about us.”

- 𓆩✧𓆪 -

When Steven Lim moves his restaurant into a strange industrial block, all manner of prophecies and switcheroos start creeping into the forefront. Luckily, Steven’s managed to team up with an angel and demon duo… And they might even be halfway capable at saving the world. (Hopefully without bickering each other to death.)

A Good Omens AU. In progress.

Speak No Evil by drunkkenobi | T, 4K, complete

It was boring, sitting in the silence, waiting for any kind of noise. Everything was amplified, from the movement of their clothes to the various bugs chirping outside. Ryan’s heartbeat was loudest of them all, even in the relative quiet. He closed his eyes, repeating his mantras.

I am not my fear. I am not my fear. I am not my fear.

“Then what are you?”

For You Are With Me by goatman_entrapment | T, 36K, complete

“I’m telling you right now if my eyes turn black, murder me.”

“And I’m telling you right now, I will not kill you.”

“Why?!”

“Because I need to save you!”

Or: Shane finally gets possessed by a demon and it's not as fun as anyone wants it to be.

The Worst Demon Ever by drunkkenobi | E, 67K, complete

Shane is so bad at being a demon that he fell in love with his best friend. When he purposefully leaves evidence in an episode of Unsolved, Hell decides to punish him the best way they know how: by going after Ryan.

One True Weakness by blacktofade | E, 6K, complete

Shane steals Ryan's soul, but promises it isn't anything personal.

And I Was Never Afraid of the Dark (Oh, the Weapon You Made of My Heart) by sequence_fairy | M, 9K, unfinished

Shane pulls Ryan out of Hell at 3:37 on a Tuesday afternoon.

He’s not looking at his watch at the time, but he infers the time later after he’s finally managed to get up off the desert floor, and has hauled them both back to the car he’d parked in the lot at the trailhead a little over a week ago.

Ryan’s a deadweight in Shane’s grip, head lolling back against Shane’s shoulder and body limp and unhelpful in Shane’s arms. His eyes are closed.

Or: Demon!Shane WIP, unfinished.

defiant acts of creation by anarchetypal | M, 2K, complete

Ryan finds out Shane is Not Traditionally of This World, and that’s— that’s fine, really, when it’s all said and done. Adult life is already so goddamn weird; Ryan feels like he’s prepared to let most anything roll off his back, so. Demons. Sure. As long as Shane’s not going to drag him to hell or eat his soul or whatever it is demons do, Ryan’s fine to keep working with him and having popcorn-and-movie nights with him and tumbling into bed with him.

He’ll fuck a demon. Whatever.

Except Shane says he’s not a demon.

If It Brings Me To My Knees by orphan_account | T, 10K, complete

The boys make a detour to Satan's Hollow while in Ohio. A last minute trip that proves itself more dangerous than anyone could have ever expected. It's there that secrets are revealed and two lives are changed forever.

I'm clean out of air in my lungs by Hauntings | T, 16K, complete

Ryan and Shane have been moving around something that is coming to a head between them. After a car accident, on the way to an investigation, Ryan slowly starts to become suspicious that Shane might not be what he seems. He realizes, though, that he just might not care.

there's no use getting down by orphan_account | G, 2K, complete

ryan accidentally summons a demon while making a sandwich

or, the one where shane madej is the cutest little demon that's ever existed, and ryan just wants a hug.

The Devil's In The Details by chaoskiddeer | T, 87K, complete

Shane had never thought too hard about taunting ghosts and demons. But it only takes one badly placed joke to invite in something that is better off left alone. His and Ryan’s comfortable friendship is going to be tested to its limits when a demon unleashes a storm of uncertainties into both of their lives, and lies pile up on both sides. One thing’s for certain: Once the storm passes, his and Ryan’s relationship will never be the same again.

i carry your heart with me by abovetheruins | T, 4K, complete

“You… got me a dog?” Ryan looks more confused than displeased, which Shane counts as a win in his favor.

“Yep,” he answers, popping the ‘p’ and grinning as Ryan’s face scrunches up in annoyance. “You’ve been saying that you wanted one and she kind of… fell into my lap, so. Felt like a sign.”

Ryan laughs. “A sign, huh?” He’s playing at nonchalance but Shane can tell he’s curious now. “What does she look like?”

Shane bites his lip, recalling the red-eyes he’d had to magic away and the mouthful of teeth that would only grow sharper as she grew older. “She’s a little angel, Ry,” he fibs.

♦️Call it Magic when I'm with You by punk_rock_yuppie | T, 2K, complete

In a world where magical creatures exist, three dudes are just trying to live their best life. Together.

Myliobatoidei by izzyspussy | T, 1K, complete

“I am not a demon,” Shane insists. There, in his bathrobe, with his horns and scales and pitch black eyes, Shane insists that.

Point of No Return by saturdayskeptic | T, 1K, complete

In hindsight, Shane probably should have known better than to walk back to his apartment by himself after a night out drinking, but hindsight is 20/20. No amount of thinking back on what he could have done, what he should have done, would help him in his current predicament.

An Idiots Guide to Coming Into Your Demonic Powers and Social Standing by snapdragonpop007 | T, 35K, ongoing

Written by Shane Madej, Owner of Alton Bridge, Seventh Duke of Hell and Advisor to Lord Satan, Our Majesty, Edited by Ryan Bergara, and translated into Enochian by Lord Beelzebub, First Duke of Hell and Advisor to Lord Satan, Our Majesty

(Enochian copy only available in the Seventh Circle of Hell, by request only)

Lead us not into temptation by Agf | E, 6K, complete

"It's obviously a demon thing. And I know you're on board with the eyes and the horns and the-" Shane waves a hand over himself, "-but this is different. This is me, specifically getting off on the thought of corrupting your soul."

Look, having a demon boyfriend and not roleplaying demonic sex just kind of seems like a waste, leftover Catholic guilt notwithstanding.

if you enjoy, consider leaving a comment or a kudo! authors appreciate it!

confession time:

i haven't really been keeping up to date on the latest season of puppet history but what i DID do is get together with my best friend (a fellow watcher enjoyer, the ryan to my shane) and watch the final puppet history episode with absolutely zero context. what's even better is that she hasn't seen a single episode of puppet history ever. safe to say it was a phenomenal experience, as we were constantly on the edge of our seats waiting for shit to go down as we simultaneously pointed and giggled at the little dinosaurs and said "they're just like us". it felt like the ultimate game of russian roulette because all we could do was sit and wonder "what will shane madej do this time?" with absolutely zero idea what happened in the previous four or five episodes. when the professor and his adorable dino parents started to get all deep and existential we just sort of looked at each other confused as to why we were almost being brought to tears by this silly little puppet show we were watching in order to see ryan bergara fist fight a blue cotton ball. i was sort of in awe of how the episode took such a profound emotional stance on the meaning of life and how much people mean to you AND THEN IT CUT TO RYAN AND THE HOLOGRAM PROFESSOR BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER AND THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THOSE TWO SCENES ALONE SHOULD WIN THIS SERIES AN AWARD! let it be known we cheered immensely as we watched beef boy call the feral glitchy furball a "little blue ballsack" AND REPEATEDLY PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE (which OBVIOUSLY made us lose our shit). all that aside though, i think the best moment of this episode was the fact that shane madej decided to write a JINGLE for THE HOLO-PROFESSOR BEING THROWN OUT THE WINDOW. IT WAS PEAK CINEMA.

anyways the episode was so good and shane, ryan, and all the other folks over at watcher always slay

omg hi kit!!

in the words of shane madej: (...) i love television! it's the best thing that was ever invented.

this is extremely corny but animals always seem to really like me and vibe with me. i've yet to meet an animal that doesn't let me pet them, unless i don't try to pet them in the first place because they're wild and/or i'm respecting their space, in which case they let me sit down and chill near them

on that note, my sweet baby Enola (family dog)

easy livin' by sarcasticfishes

Shane has always fallen easy. He’s had a crush on every single one of his friends and can’t help that he really sees the good in people. And he certainly can’t help that Ryan, even at his worst, is so incredibly beautiful. -- The Wasteland - and Ryan - through Shane's eyes.

Santa Daddy by breathtaken

“Come sit on Santa Daddy’s lap, snowflake. Now. Are you ready for me to jingle your bells?”

Off the Shelf by makemadej (santamonicayachtclub)

The push notification on Ryan's phone is too enticing to ignore. You’ve heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for… He sets down his barbells with a groan Shane would definitely make fun of him for, then thumbs open the rest of the message. Attached is—and Ryan doesn’t know what the hell he was expecting—a photo of the Professor on a dresser.

everything i love gets lost in drawers by beethechange

“Seriously. No bullshit.” Ryan’s frowning now, his head cocked like he doesn’t understand Shane at all. He’s probably imagining himself on the back of a magnificent steed, crusading into battle, shirtless for some reason because that’s the kind of guy he is. “If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?” “Not a single thing. Time Scout’s honor,” Shane insists, holding up three fingers. “You don’t meddle with that shit, man. That’s how you end up starting a world war or seducing your own great-great-grandmother or something. I’m not about to return to 2021 and find out I’ve got a jaw like a Habsburg.” Or: Shane Madej has a funny new t-shirt, a decade of regrets, and a time travel dick appointment, in that order.

what are you doing new year's eve? ✨by PhyllisDietrichson

And Ryan knows. He knows that it’s probably been obvious for a while, how he and Shane have been circling around each other, pulled into a tighter orbit as the years have passed. The way that if Ryan is somewhere without Shane, he’s the first person people ask him about. The way that Ryan can’t remember the last time he’s gone out without Shane. He’s not sure that Shane’s noticed, though. He wishes that Shane would notice.

[skepticbeliever-bookclub]

Hello shippers and readers! 

This week, being the week following our anniversary, we took ourselves back to our roots; our members. Our nomination call this week was for fics by current members of the book club that we have not read from in the year 2022. 

With that in mind, we picked a Regency AU that slots right into the bodice-ripper loving section of many of our brains. This fic has some ghosts, some class strife and an extremely romantic confession that we all love, most ardently. 

We hope you’ll join us out on the lawn with your hats and gloves, as is customary, to sip on some tea and take a stroll through the gardens of Walcot Hall with us as we read A Gentleman of Spirit by breathtaken this week. 

Rating: Explicit

Summary: 

Newly impoverished and grieving the loss of his father, Mr Shane Madej is only attending Lady Bergara’s ball at Walcot Hall so that he can write an anonymous report on it for one of the gossip columns. He isn’t expecting to find the Baronet of Walcot’s eldest son – as rich and handsome as he is eccentric – attempting to contact a spirit behind the coach house; he certainly isn’t expecting to fall in love.

Book Club Thoughts: 

i'm a big fan of how the language of the narration matches the genre and setting and feels really like i'm reading an austen novel

it was so well written and i loved how easily they still fell into their like usual dynamic and banter but within the period

I loved all the period details of this. It just felt well researched and like, you know… researched. Like this felt bigger than a fic

I was sitting in a space of speculation about why this hits different and I think it's because it speaks to most of the saucy steamy regency romance novels I read as a teen which were probably formative for me to the point where the word "prick" had me spluttering with embarrassment lol

I really like the class stuff and while they're not that different class-wise irl, I think they are just enough to make this version really believable and sing

I also need to say that [author] really sells the world of this whole fic, the class system and how all the families know one another

shane loses his money and standing and quickly slips into 'eat the rich' mode, which feels true to life in a way

i like the contrast between what shane thinks he sees when he's first observing ryan at the dance, and then the real ryan that starts emerging as they get to know each other

i'm such a sucker for plonking the ghost stuff down in the middle of an apparently-incongruous setting

i love the like... boundary between what's happening and what Should be happening as is Proper, yknow? i think a lot of potential fics in this kind of world would have the Gay Stuff as the tension etc but i liked the choice to have it Not be that in this.

It has the perfect balance of regency au and also like, modern problems? Like usually you read about people in high class, and here Shane's struggles of having to do things for a living that are not so gentelmanely hits very well

I loved the inclusion of Shane's love of music in this a lot

I like how romantic it is, especially that comparison to the fire in the fireplace, and how they go from calling each other barely by the christian names to calling each other "my love"

fondle the pod 😠

cell block tango or whatever

not Shane expecting sexy evidence 💀

“I don’t want to die.”

“And watch everyone you’ve ever loved die?” “How do you know I haven’t already done that?”

you know what maybe Ryan is the demon after all 😃

Bernard is trying, my man, give him some time

a jealous rage murder 👀👀

or maybe blinded by passion

“We’ve got a barber?” - why is that so funny to me 💀

purple faced fella!!

why is Ryan always oversharing before solo investigations

he be sitting there and suddenly he goes “I’m scared of seeing ghosts, I’m scared I die, I’m scared Shane will find me dead, I’m scared of the future.”

like baby girl calm down you’ll be fine

Shane “ghost hunter” Madej: I do all of this to see historical sites without all the tourists

not someone screaming on Ryan’s solo investigation 💀

tho I have to say it sounded like a bird or something

not Shane predicting that Ryan is muttering his little mantra and then it cuts to Ryan muttering his mantra

AND THAT WAS ALCATRAZ

that’s now locked away in the ghost files

[drunkkenobi]

i read one of your fics a couple days ago and had a good chuckle at a throwaway line about someone’s love for spreadsheets and then today your spreadsheet of the view stats for watcher crossed my dash and i was like GASP that’s gotta be the author. and lo and behold…

your writing is really good and funny and i am eyeing your “it’s a wonderful life shane madej” wip title with great interest

Ha, thank you!! love is stored in the spreadsheet (column A, row 1) ❤️

That fic has been quite the slow burn for me. I originally had the idea during 2020, to be set during the year of making Watcher, but I got blocked on a couple details of it and now I mentally can't write fic about being excited about 2020. 😔 But! Earlier this year, I got an idea for a new framing device, so I hope this time it will come together. Here's a lil snippet:

The door to the bathroom opened, a black nose with a white and burnt orange snout shoving itself between the door and the jamb. 

“Ruth, not now,” Shane mumbled, trying to shut the door without hurting her. Undeterred, Ruth pushed her way in until she was all but sitting in Shane’s lap. As much as Shane did not understand dogs, he figured she was trying to help. “Nevermind, hi Ruth.”

She stared at him, her two different colored eyes piercing Shane’s very heart and soul. 

“I ruined it all, Ruthie,” Shane told her, his hands clutched in her fur. “Your dad’s gonna have to find a new way to buy you all those expensive treats. Sorry about that. He can blame me. He can blame me for everything, frankly. It’s my fault.” New tears fell down Shane’s cheeks. “I wish I’d never come here. Not to Steven’s house, not to Watcher, not to California at all.”

"Do you mean that?"

WANTED CONNECTIONS

;; people who build their houses in your heart. | friends!

coraline isn't very sociable most days but these people seem to've wormed their way into their life (and heart) without them realizing. it's fine, though - they wouldn't have it any other way.

;; it's pretty killer to sit and chat with you... | confidants / close friends!

the very few people (or maybe just one person?) that coraline trusts with late night texts/convos about real life worries and the like. someone they confide in (& perhaps who confides in them, as well.) this is who they message to come stargazing in the middle of the night because existing together side-by-side is so much better than existing alone sometimes.

;; hey there demons it's me, ya boy. | occult friends!

people who are also enjoyers of the supernatural/occult/horror stuff! perhaps people who also sometimes sneak into the cemetery at night hjsdhsk fun stuff, fun times !!

;; never knew i could feel like this. | crush or smth?

i'm a hopeless romantic idk what else to say on this one hsdjsk could be unrequited! must be someone they're already close with, as coraline is demi.

&& probably more tbh !! if u have an idea for a connection please just jump into my dms i will more likely than not be Stoked Abt It hsjdhsk i'm a Simple Man,,

SHANE MADEJ HEADCANONS ☆

• He has a thing for crafts

• You can not tell me that Shane Madej, a man that literally built an entire show centered around handmade puppets that he constructed from scratch, isn't someone to go all out when making cards for the holidays

• It helps if you're somewhat creative too. That way you and him could sit down together with a stack of colorful paper and cut and paste away to your hearts content

• If art isn't your strong suit though, he'll still have you help him in some way, just so he could spend some time with you doing some fun stuff instead of just seeing each other in the office

• Staying en route with styling things, please do his hair. I'm begging you

• When it's long, too. Especially when it's long

• He won't even pretend to hate you giving attention to his hair. Finds it interesting the weird styles you twist his locks into—if not laughable. Once Sarah walked in on you doing it and joined in with an evil smile

• You had just stepped back with a grin and let her take over, much to the horror of Shane

• All he asks is that you don't take pictures to share with other employees or god forbid Ryan

• You still do it anyways

• "And to think I trusted you (Y/n). Here you are playing devils advocate to my poor hair."

• "You'd be the one to know mister. And don't be such a big baby. You look spiffy anyways."

• "I do don't I?"

• "Oh shut up."
