#now that I’m thinking about this is basically just Connor bc he woke up at the very peak of the revolution

[timetojointheclub]

I think there’s a very interesting idea in the fact that in DBH when the androids “wake up” and become deviant they’re basically like babies. Babies in the fact that they probably don’t know how to deal with their (probably) overwhelming emotions.

The interesting part is what about the androids that had just woken up in a war? An android born in war will only know war(forgive my dramatics), so I’d love for another POV of an android that had been woken up in the midst of the android revolution.

After the revolution be it the pacifist route or the more aggressive one, how would they know how to live?

For a prompt: Connor and Hank celebrating an obscure holiday of your choice (ie hotdog day)

//it’s gonna be International Coffee Day bc Connor is a barista and I am basic

It wasn’t often Hank wondered if dating a barista was the best idea. One of those days happened to be today when he woke up to find every single mug, tumbler, heat resistant glass, and water bottle he owned spread out over the counter tops, the kitchen table, and the coffee table. Each one appeared to be a different drink entirely or a different brew of coffee from what Connor had taught him about the drink. “Connor,” He started, in a tone that he hoped conveyed his absolute confusion as to why his house had become a self contained coffee museum, “What his all of this?” Connor turned to Hank, smiling at him like he wasn’t pouring coffee into a soup bowl, “Happy International Coffee Day Hank!” “Happy what now?” Hank echoed, “Why are you pouring coffee into a soup bowl? More importantly, why is there coffee all over my house?” 

Connor lit up, and Hank had the feeling he was going to be here a while, “It’s International Coffee Day. So in celebration of that I made all of the the foreign inspired drinks from the cafe as well as brewed almost all of the international blends that we offer there too. I’ve got six more until I’m done.” He paused to take a much needed breath, “I ran out of cups, so I hope you don’t mind if I borrow a few bowls.” Hank just blinked at him and picked up the nearest cup of coffee, he wasn’t awake enough for this. “You’ve made enough coffee for the entirety of Detroit. There is no way we can drink all of this.” “That’s why I invited friends. They’ll be here soon though so you might want to get dressed.” He commented, and for the second time this morning Hank’s mind ground to a halt. “Who all did you invite?” He asked, feeling like he was going to regret it. “Jeff, the staff from the cafe, my brothers, and Gavin. I think someone named Allen is also coming with Silas.” Connor said as he set the bowl down. Hank groaned, “Never mind Connor. I’ll be ready in ten.” He sometimes questioned why he was dating Connor, but then he remembered the enthusiasm he added to the most mundane things, and he was reminded that he was here to remind Hank what joy felt like. He even made having a house full of peole at eight in the morning seem like it would be a good time.

(Prompt from this list)

That may be an odd question but since I've seen gifs about Robert choosing Aaron over Rebecca I wanted you to maybe talk about the same theme but in Rebecca's shoes imagine Aaron. Did Robert cared about Aaron? Like more than Chrissie during their affair? A woman he admired and loved. When he was asked he said to Bex "I care about Aaron more. I will never leave him for ya" but did that apply to Aaron as well when he was in Rebecca's shoes? There is 'I want u' 'I love u' and 'Im in love with u'

so like… you mean rob told rebecca he’d always choose aaron over her but he also, in the affair era, told aaron that he would choose chrissie? and what’s the difference, if there’s one?

i mean, you’re forgetting i think that robert during the affair era was driven by both a love of money and power and more importantly, internalised homophobia and internalised biphobia

we know that he loved chrissie but we know that ultimately his feelings for aaron were stronger and he’s expressed as much, both to aaron and to other people (ssw 2016 is a good place to find examples of this, but also aaron’s birthday 2017 has robert being very unambiguous about this and a whole litany of other moments) (he’s very prolific on this matter it’s kind of insane)

rebecca conversely offered robert everything he thought he wanted back in 2015 - money and power, as well as, in theory i suppose, an opportunity to be in a relationship with someone of the opposite gender, given that opposite gender relationships have, within the larger constructs of society, privilege over same gender couples and also offer less opportunities to receive homophobic abuse specifically etc - and i was going to say that maybe the show wasn’t using that specific angle with rebecca but actually if you watch rebecca’s scenes when she first arrives, she spends a lot of time making biphobic remarks to robert about how men can’t satisfy him the way she, a woman, can and generally undermining both his relationship with aaron and his bisexuality whilst trying to hit on him (and he hadnt even specifically come out as bi by that point and was still struggling which makes it even more 🔪🔪🔪), so maybe that was in fact an intended part of it?

but anyway, the best scene that demonstrates this is the first rob/rebecca kiss scene and the other scenes between them within the same episode (i mean, god, that happens literally the episode before robert uses the word bisexual to aaron because aaron also can’t quite understand it and unloads some far less aggressive and insane but still v much to the point biphobia towards robert)

(rip poor rob)

idk, this show’s track record on bisexuality and calling out biphobia isn’t great so i’m dubious as to how much i trust that this was an intended part of it, but rob has his relationship and sexuality undermined both by rebecca and aaron (and rebecca’s is so so bad - i need to point this out bc i don’t want to equate what aaron says, which is bad in and of itself if far less horribly intentioned, with the absolute insanity that rebecca comes out with, *too much*) (and if you haven’t seen it in a while you may have forgotten just how bad it is but it’s…. oh boy) (aaron at least is actively trying to understand through his own ignorance, whereas rebecca is honestly completely obstinate about it throughout those scenes) (it’s so gross)

and i think as a whole storytelling piece, rebecca was a good way to silence the people who believed that maybe the only reason robert chose aaron over chrissie was because chrissie wouldn’t have him back - because here was rebecca offering it up on a plate and robert had absolutely no interest

(didn’t work, i still get those asks fairly often and to each one i say that making that argument erases a lot of very explicit, unambiguous canon proving otherwise)

ANYWAY, basically - robert was motivated to choose chrissie over aaron because chrissie was what he thought he wanted for his life - all that money and power, but ultimately after he got shot and almost died, he woke up with a renewed focus on aaron (watch his scenes in december 2015/january 2016 for examples of this) and basically barely mentioned or paid mind to chrissie - and had certainly stopped trying to get back with her, all the while doing things like trying to buy the pub just to spend more time with aaron.

since then, he started very slowly to become more open about his own sexuality and his feelings for aaron and that’s only grown ever since

(and now he’s going to gay clubs and making bi jokes ✨💕🌈🌷)

which, to be very clear on what i mean here - he wasn’t with chrissie bc she was a woman (he was with her bc she was rich and bc he did love her) - it’s more that he was never going to be with aaron bc he was a man (and bc he was poor 😂). internalised homophobia was just one more thing preventing him from being with aaron or admitting his feelings too much for aaron - or being able to admit that his feelings for aaron were ultimately stronger than his feelings for chrissie.

with rebecca, when tbh it would have helped him to lie even more about his feelings because he was literally already lying to her about his feelings/implying he had feelings for her in order to use her to take down the whites and then get his hands on their money, he still openly told her over and over that he would always choose aaron, because that was the truth

they deliberately made his actions vaguely ambiguous when he was initially plotting against rebecca but i feel like he’s said enough times in between and since his true feelings to clarify the ambiguity there - and the only time he actually slept with her was directly after believing aaron was dead or some shit whilst in prison and then seeing him high on spice and a completely different person (see: the ons episode and the reveal episodes for further examples/more detailed explanation)

knowing that robert historically had pretty much followed Little Rob’s whims and happily cheated on chrissie over and over with at least rebecca, connor and aaron, it’s not hard to believe that the fact that he can’t do that with aaron outside of very extenuating circumstances (i.e. he won’t just do it for a bit of fun, as before) (or because he’s formed an entire accidental serious relationship with the local mechanic) would mean that it is in fact different for him, with aaron than it ever was with chrissie

(supporting every time he has said as much to aaron or to other people)

this answer is such a mess lmao sorry

why use 5 words when you can use 5000, yk

GHD prompt! on their one-year anniversary, phil and rita return to punx for g-hog day and this time rita starts looping. she tells phil and he is super cute and understanding about it and basically tries to make it the best experience for her, day after day, bc he never wants her to feel the darkness he did.

a/n: this has actually been finished for a couple days but i’ve been busy or distracted and therefore kept putting off the publishing of this. sorry!

“who is that? (who is that?) emerging from his burrow? who can see today what we won’t see until tomorrow… ”

rita groans, turning over on the mattress, back to the alarm clock. wasn’t that yesterday’s intro?

next to her, phil chuckles softly, saying, “no matter how many times i hear it, it doesn’t get any less annoying.” just like yesterday…

suddenly, rita bolts upright.

“phil?” she asks. “what day is it?”

“as if you don’t already know from that ,” phil says, sitting up with her. when she doesn’t respond, he grows concerned. “you’re serious. babe, what’s wrong?”

“what day is it?” rita asks again.

“it’s groundhog day.”

and rita’s heart rate spikes, as does her breathing, which she struggles to keep relatively slow.

“either i’ve had the strangest dream,” rita says. “or i’m stuck in a time loop like you were last year.” phil’s expression relaxes.

“come here,” he says, pulling her into a hug, rubbing her back. “you’ll get out of this, i promise. just have to figure out why you got here in the first place.” rita snorts.

“and how do i do that?” she asks, voice muffled by the fabric of phil’s shirt. phil sighs.

“it’ll come to you,” he says. “with time.” rita pulls back, sniffling, and that’s when phil realizes she’d been crying into his shoulder.

“that’s all i have now, i guess,” she says, wiping away a tear as it falls down her cheek. “an infinite amount of time.”

“then we’ll make the most of it,” phil says. “i can take you all over the town until you come to learn everything about it. maybe that’s why you’re here - to appreciate the small town more.” rita shakes her head.

“that’s why you were in the loop, phil,” she says.

“it was actually more than that,” phil says sheepishly. “anyway, i plan to make this loop as enjoyable for you as possible.”

“but you won’t remember this tomorrow,” rita says. “i’ll have to explain this to you all over again.”

“then do that,” phil says, before taking rita’s face in his hands, wiping away her tears with his thumbs. “but there is no timeline out there where i won’t be 100% willing to help you get out of this.” rita smiles softly.

“thank you,” she says. phil kisses her on the forehead, and she can’t help but let out a soft giggle, even as he puts his hands down. “now what?”

“now,” phil says, standing from the bed. “we have a broadcast to do.”

~

to her surprise, phil keeps his word, making the most of the day with her. when she felt the urge to head to the bar for a drink, he pulled her along, over to the park, where they had a snowball fight. (which, in itself, gave her an odd sense of deja vu that she just couldn’t place.) the fight ended in them rolling around in the snow, only until she pinned him to the ground, giggling and kissing his frosty lips before climbing off of him.

now, they’re right where they ended up the previous day (that rita remembers) - the groundhog day festival. unlike the previous year, though, a date with phil connors is something not up for auction, a fact that has everyone sending knowing smiles rita’s way, ones that just leave her to blush.

tired from the hectic day, rita settles into a seat at the table, watching as phil steps off the stage after his performance, gaze immediately falling onto her.

“may i have this dance, my lady?” he asks with a teasing smile, offering a hand. rita laughs.

“of course you may,” she says, taking his hand and allowing herself to be pulled up and onto the dance floor. once there, his other hand falls to her waist, her own settling on his shoulder. together, they sway to the music, fond smiles on their faces. feeling relaxed, rita lets her head fall against phil’s shoulder, and he lets go of her hand to settle both of his at the base of her back, lightly rubbing it like he had that morning. her smile grows.

it’s then that her thoughts begin to wander, thinking about how oddly perfect the day has been despite its obvious flaw, and how adorably sweet phil has been the entire time, making sure that the repeated day was as enjoyable for her as possible.

the more she thinks about it, the more she thinks she loves him.

she lifts her head, opening her mouth to say just that.

“phil!” fred calls out before rita can speak. “can we bother you for a selfie? it’s to send to debbie’s mom - she’s a huge fan.” phil laughs softly.

“yeah, okay,” he says, turning back to rita. “do you mind?”

“no, not at all,” rita says, letting phil go. she watches him cross the room, and sighs. one day, she’ll tell him how she feels.

~

to no one’s surprise, the day repeats. again, she wakes up to the annoying radio jingle. again, she explains her situation to phil, and again, he promises to make her day as enjoyable as possible.

and again, she lets him go at the exact moment she wants to tell him she loves him.

it takes her yet another day in the loop for her to realize that maybe this is why she’s stuck where she is.

and it takes her a couple more before she figures out how to fix things.

“where are you going?” phil asks on the eighth day of the loop (not that rita’s counting) when she starts running back into town as soon as the broadcast is finished.

“just have some errands to run!” she calls back. phil’s eyebrows furrow.

“errands?” he says under his breath, wondering just what, exactly, his girlfriend is up to.

~

this time, when phil walks over to where rita is, asking her to dance, she’s already on her feet, wearing her coat.

“actually,” she says. “mind if we head up to the roof?” phil blinks.

“i’d love to,” he says, starting to smile. rita grins back, grabbing his hand and pulling him along.

“any particular reason why you wanted to come up here?” phil asks once they’re outside. rita shrugs.

“no,” she says casually. phil smiles, gaze falling on the view of the town.

“it’s funny,” he says. “i’ve spent so much time in this town, but i never realized how beautiful it is - or how actually quite large it is, for that matter. an infinite amount of time spent here, and i still keep missing so many things–” he glances over at rita, and suddenly grows speechless. in front of him, she’s down on one knee, small black velvet box open to reveal a simple silver band. phil glances up at rita’s face, only to find her smiling, tears in her eyes.

“all these days spent in the loop, and i finally realized why i became stuck here,” she says. “because i was too chicken to tell you how i feel… i love you, and i can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else. you understand me like no one else has before and i–” she stops, a couple more tears slipping down her face. “i’m really grateful for that. so, phillip andrew connors,” phil laughs softly at the use of his full name. “would you do me the honor of being my husband?” phil grins, tears in his own eyes.

“of course,” he says. “how could i ever say no to a proposal like that ?” rita giggles, taking phil’s hand and slipping the ring onto his finger, before standing and throwing her arms around him, kissing him on the lips.

“you know,” phil says when they pull apart a few moments later. “it takes a lot of balls to get down on one knee and propose. that’s why the man usually does it.” rita rolls her eyes.

“shut up,” she says. phil just laughs, kissing her again.

~

“we have an announcement,” phil says when the two re-enter the room, standing hand-in-hand. he takes a deep breath before saying, “we’re engaged!” the room falls into chatter, everyone asking question after question and making comments, but one stands out to the couple.

“can we see the ring?” nancy asks. rita and phil share a glance, smiling knowingly.

“well,” phil says. “i could never say no to a fan.” he sticks his hand out, showing off his ring, and the room gasps, confused murmurs heard in the back.

“you proposed?” debbie asks rita. rita smiles.

“yup,” she says simply.

“that’s so cool!” debbie says. “why didn’t i think of that?”

“it’s a lovely ring,” fred comments, glancing up at the two. “you picked a good one.” rita blushes.

“oh, it’s nothing special,” she says.

“i wasn’t talking about the ring,” fred says, and rita’s blush deepens, which she tries to hide behind phil’s shoulder. phil just laughs.

~

the following morning, rita wakes up to no alarm, a fact which surprises her at first. she initially thinks she just woke up before the alarm, but then she glances at her clock, and finds that it just never went off. the realization leaves her smiling.

phil rolls over, an arm thrown over her waist, and she feels his rough stubble as he presses a kiss to her bare shoulder, exposed due to the thin straps of her camisole.

“morning,” he says, and she turns, smiling when her gaze falls on him, his green eyes softer with sleep, hair mussed up from his pillow, a fond smile on his face.

“good morning,” she says. “what day is it?” phil laughs softly.

“february 3rd,” he says. “not groundhog day.” rita smiles again.

“good,” she says, before kissing him.

Haven't given y'all an update for a while so hopefully this won't be too long (its so fucking long...If you wanna scroll to the last paragraph there is a long story short )but I know some ppl feel personally invested in my love/sex life so here it goes!! 

Last time I was posting I was still obsessing over my neighbor and going crazy over wanting to fuck him again / wanting the time of day from him. Well, now I'm pretty much over that and for a few reasons - ya he's totally hot, like a real life babe, but he's also like the biggest asshole I've ever met and I can't even believe I was dickmatized enough to look past how badly he treats me / most women when he's not trying to fuck them. The only time he was ever "nice" to me was like the days leading up to us sleeping together and the only time after that he's been nice to me is like 2am drunk in his apartment (and not even nice just him making comments about my boobs or waist or something) but still...not really including me in conversation. Every time I see him I just try to be cordial and say what's up but he's just like "hi" and that's it. Honestly he’s probably weirded out by me being into him after we fucked (bc of various social media followers, yall know i post EVERYTHING) which I guess is fair because ya... it was kinda weird. So if he's been rude to me the last month to get me over it -- it worked. Over him! He aint that great....I've definitely slept w guys w better bodies and better attitudes. Fuck him and his Connor Mcgregor tattoos lmao.

ANYWAY, so after that fiasco I went to New Orleans and had sort of a shitty time at first just because the friend I went with was on some other shit, and we weren't getting along. So I started swiping away on tinder and matched w this guy Johnny and I wasn't really into it at first but then once I got a little drunk I was like "meet me" but I actually ditched him (fell asleep for 3 hrs) anyway eventually I met him and he walks up and he's immediately x3 hotter in person than he was in any of his pictures AND he comes up with a thick Greek accent and y'all.....I love the whole (eastern...ish) harsh European accent so I was like DAMN! So we had a great time, has great sex and by the morning we were pretty amazed at how into each other we were and the connection we had both physically and emotionally was wild and we spent the next two days together basically just fucking and talking about everything ever in life and it was a really great time and I'm prtty sure he's my soulmate. We even have plans for him to come and visit me in Florida next month! So that's cool, got that little babe in my pocket. Some issues arise w the language barrier because hes not the most fluent English speaker (he's only been here for like 6 months) and I obviously don't know any Greek so it's tough buuuuuut there's that. Also, what's wild is he's only 21!!!! Which is CRAZY? Never really into guys romantically who are anywhere near as young as I am so having a connection w a 21 y/o is crazy to me. Also...he looks so young compared to the guys I'm usually with (with the exception of my neighbor who is only like 22 every guy I've been with in at least the last 6 months has been 28-48) but in 10-20 yrs when he is in his prime god damn is he gonna be a killer... he looks like the spitting image of a younger, leaner,Max Riemlet tbh (Wolfgang from sense 8)

But despite me having found my "soulmate" I still have to live a life in Saint Augustine and get laid somehow so I've just been going out, meeting people and occasionally tindering. Last night I ended up sleeping with someone who I slept w when I was 19 and it was underwhelming (AGAIN) just like it was when I was 19...he was better I guess. We watched TWO fucking movies and drank and then it literally was like 20 mins of making out and I couldn't take it and it was so late and I was like "ok can we just fuck now" and he finished in...you guessed it....less than a minute...and I was like "uh ok I hardly moved??" He was like "yeah but you were moving from the inside and talking to me and making sounds" and I was like like LOL. I mean I guess...because he did feel good for the 45 Seconds but i like tried to move my hips with him and he made me stop cause he was gonna cum and then like 10 seconds later I think all I said was "ur cock feels so good" then he was like "oh shit" and fucking busted GOD DAMN IT?? So to have sex...I can't move....and I can't talk??? Lmao ok. I rlly did feel like a 19 y/o. Luckily (or maybe unluckily?) he lives literally across the street from me so I just got dressed and went home but before I went I was like "uh do u wanna take my number?" Yknow, because he felt good for the bit and I was thinking maybe if he just gets used to me he can go longer and I'm like HOW convenient would dick right across the street be??? Because dick right upstairs obviously work out... But he like paused for a few seconds and I was like "ok nvm thanks for cuming in a minute and not even trying to give me an orgasm have fun dude" and left and then he messaged me on tinder and was like "here is my number if you wanted it I'm deleting tinder now because i cant deal with fucking peoples feelings up" and I was like HA HA HA "I'm literally chilling idk what about that could've hurt my feelings but I left my glasses there if you could put them in my mailbox that would be great" and he said some shit about how he got dumped a week ago and how it's "not a good way to get over himself" but I didn't reply and I woke up in the morning and my glasses were where I asked them to be so I guess that's good. 

Also, I'm back on my Mitchell bullshit. We matched on tinder and I didn't say anything because i was trying to BE STRONG but I think it was Friday night and I drunk called him and he didn't say SHIT all day then last night at like midnight before I went over to that guys house he messaged me "you rang?" and we fell into our usually rapport and then later today he texted me so now we are back to talking? Maybe? Probably not.... and if we are I already know how it's gonna go but I'm a weak bitch I know i’m sorry but honestly he doesnt even hurt anymore. 

So yeah, that's where I'm at. Long fucking story short: I'm done w my dick head neighbor crush, I met my Greek soulmate in NOLA and miss him everyday but a future w him is next to impossible, especially bc he goes back to Greece in April and has to join the military....so I need to fill the void by getting laid and going back to the familiar rollercoaster ride of pain that is Mitchell. That's all folks.

Word Count in DEH Fanfic, pt. 2

A lot has changed since I made my first post about the subject, so I figured I should go more in depth in my analysis rather than just “ooh fancy math! Divide word count by chapter numbers!” So I’ve put together a bunch of information about the five longest fics in the DEH tag on ao3. here you go. I’m so sorry.

Title: A Worthy Explanation Author: nameless_wanderer (aka me, @official-didney-worl-elmo ) Kudos: 241 Paring(s): Kleinsen, slight Galaxy Gals Type of fic: Divergence, Evan doesn't lie Summary: A divergence in the canon where Evan chooses not to lie to the Murphy family, turns into a Kleinsen slow burn. Total word count: 90,813 Words per chapter (avg.): 4,128 Reason for length: Basically a retelling of DEH, goes into almost too much detail at some points, adds lots of events based on the original story Rating/Personal opinion: I cannot objectively rate this as I am the one who wrote this. Series?: Kind of. Technically yes, the other stories are just one shots in the same au. Other comments: I mean if u wanted to read it that would be hella.

Title: The Desperate Type Author: chchchchchcherrybomb ( @ch-ch-ch-ch-cherrybomb ) Kudos: 1757 Paring(s): Treebros Type of fic: Plot transplant (i.e. taking plot elements from one story and using it with characters/setting of a different), using plot elements from "My Heart and Other Black Holes" Summary: Evan seeks out a "suicide partner," a depressed person like him who will help him make the decision to end things. The person he finds is Connor Murphy. Angst ensues. Total word count: 88,393 Words per chapter (avg.):  4,018 Reason for length: Due to the nature of the fic, it's pretty much a whole novel rewritten using different events, characters, etc. Rating/Personal opinion: Whoa, everything about this is so wonderful! Seriously, one of the best fics in the deh tag on ao3, I cannot praise this fic enough. The characters are realistically developed, the events are emotionally charged but not so much that it breaks suspension of disbelief, if you like reading long fics this is the fic for you. Series?: Yep. Other fics include retellings of events from different POVs, one shots in the same au, and a multi-chaptered prequel (also very good) Other comments: the author of this fic is also like super nice and I'd like apologize for literally every interaction we've had bc I am an idiot and everything about TDT and the related fics are fantastic

Title: Here, But Full of Light Author: InTheLoft ( @arequiems ) Kudos: 383 Paring(s): Treebros, Galaxy Gals Type of fic: Divergence, Connor lives Summary: In the words of the author, Connor Murphy didn't die and, for some reason, Evan Hansen is determined to be his friend. Total word count: 83,683 Words per chapter (avg.): 13,947 (holy hell) Reason for length: The individual chapters for this fic represent seasons of the year, meaning a lot of events happen in them. The "chapters" in this case are more like "parts" in certain longer novels, and there are almost kind of "mini chapters" within each of the written chapters Rating/Personal opinion: Honestly I haven't caught up with this one. I've started it half a dozen times but I get busy. From what I've read it's outstanding, and seems to be going in a good direction, but I can't give a really strong opinion on this. Series?: No(t yet?) Other comments: Honestly, I'm blown away that the author is this dedicated to writing a fic this long and it's still not done yet! I'll be surprised if after the next chapter is updated, AWE is still the longest fic in the tag. So well done, your dedication to this fic is incredible.

Title: Pain Author: faraandmera ( @faraandmera ​) Kudos: 1206 Paring(s): Treebros Type of fic: Divergence, Connor doesn't attempt suicide and becomes friends with Evan Summary: Connor and Evan are both sick. Maybe they could be sick together. Maybe they could almost be friends Total word count: 78,482 Words per chapter (avg.): 1,601 Reason for length: 49 average/short chapters. Several interludes in between plot. Rating/Personal opinion: Honestly the title is a misnomer. I loved this fic when I first read it, there's a little bit of angst in earlier chapters but it becomes really nice and a little fluffy in the middle chapters. I'm honestly not caught up bc I kept forgetting to read the updates, but it's so well written and includes probably my favorite line ever written: "Hello yes, I can’t go because I don’t want to, and also don’t even celebrate that holiday what the fuck." Series?: Yep, the Pain-verse, which right now is just "Pain" and a one shot taking place in the same universe. Other comments: Not finished yet, don't know if the author is planning on ending it anytime soon. Despite the title, this is a pretty good feel-good fic/slow burn if you want something a little bit lighter to read

Title: "You Know They're Gonna Think You're Lovers, Right?" Author: neglectedrainbow ( @neglectedrainbow​ ) Kudos: 857 Paring(s): Kleinsen, Galaxy Gals Type of fic: Divergence, Connor was gay and Evan pretends to have been his boyfriend Summary: Connor's parents knew about Connor's boyfriends. They think Evan might have been one of them. Jared told Evan just to nod and confirm. I wonder how this will turn out. Total word count: 66,029 Words per chapter (avg.): 2,201 Reason for length: Basically retelling the musical after "For Forever" with some divergence. Rating/Personal opinion: This is another one I haven't quite read. I got like ten chapters into it like one night but then I woke up and forgot what I read and forgot to keep up with it. I remember it's like super well written, and I really should read it considering it's the longest Kleinsen fic that I didn't write Series?: YKTGTYLR, but the titular fic is the only one in the series currently. Other comments: Honestly I really need to read the fic, like actually read it, I only remember that the writing was crazy good, on par with TDT if I remember correctly.

Conclusion:

Divergence fics yield huge word count.

Well written fics that are long yield lots of kudos.

People love writing long treebros fics

Almost everyone ships Galaxy Gals

The DEH ao3 tag has so many talented authors except me lol what the hell how are you all so good??? Also thank you for the amazing content?????

EPISODE 3: Go ahead and have a fucking sip babes.....(Rhone)

Connor

listen i will not win i dont want to be here pippa did this to me i hate everything no one talks to me i want to die that is all good bye

Lily

I've been on edge ever since the challenge began, oh my lord. Always a race to get the first common word like "elephant" or "zebras" before everyone else. It's stressful, but at the same time I can't deny how fun it can be to get that correct first guess. Or those moments when everyone else uses a word with the wrong number of letters so you just slide in there. That's nice.

Ricky

So Liana is basically forcing it to be a me vs her situation. if that's what she wants then that's what she's gonna get!

Liana

So Jay put me and Ricky together. I was maybe okay with this, but like, then Ricky wanted me to unblock him for a "proposition". I keep complaining that it's stupid that we won't even talk to each other even though it's Survivor, so I oblige, and he brings up how us and Billy and Jay should work together. I get Zootopia flashbacks, I also think about all the things he's done to me. I question him about it, and he explains his side, and it mostly makes sense. He still doesn't wanna be friends. I find it difficult to work with someone I used to be friends with who I'm not anymore. I never agreed to work with Ricky, instead I say, "Remember how you tried this in Zootopia and I immediately changed my mind and plotted against you?" and I took the receipts he gave me and showed them to Connor (they said that Ricky wanted Connor out). I tell Connor that I know this didn't work in Zootopia but here are the receipts so he can do whatever he'd like with this information. Connor IMMEDIATELY accuses me of faking the receipts because Ricky still has (Ba Sing Se Host) in his name on my phone. I'm pissed that Zootopia is happening all over again, I try proving to Connor that I didn't fake them, and explain that he's probably still that way because I just now unblocked him today. Connor says he's fine with voting Ricky out, but then later Connor and Ricky discuss it so I'm sure Connor's changed his mind (BECAUSE IT'S HIS BF, OMFG!!!) I'm also freaking out because Billy initially told me that he's not on Ricky's side on call, but now he says he's not writing either of our names down. (I mean, understandable, I wouldn't wanna get removed by Ricky either over a vote) I just misthought that he would. Jay tells me there's nothing to worry about, and that we have Carson, and Billy can throw away his vote so it'll be 3-2-1 at least. Now that we're actually going to tribal I found out that Jay hasn't talked to Billy about throwing away a vote and he also hasn't talked to Carson about voting out Ricky. So yeah I'm freaking out. After trying to talk to Ricky yesterday though I really can't handle being in a game with him and so I'd really like one of us to leave (and I have an idol sooo that leaves one person). anyway i don't know why I'm like this. Trying to think clearer headed and into the future, I'm trying to recreate what I did in Kanto as much as possible. I have 2 final 2s who I wanna let think that they're each my #1s. Billy and Jay both really trust me right now and I like working with them the most. I'm a little wary because when I talked with other people on the other tribes they're always like "You have Billy and Jay, you're fine" so I don't want it to seem /that/ obvious. I'm of course, freaking out about my choice of Billy right now because he's also close to Ricky but I trust him that he'll stay neutral and I'm still confiding information in him.

I got my first individual immunity my first idol and now i got a team that is pretty good. I sure do love this team of 5.

Drew

No major developments to report. Putting me, Ryan, and Rhone on the same tribe for that word game was overpowered, it was fun. I hope Jay doesn't go home tonight. I'm fully expecting to "merge" again for F17, I don't think we'll get two cycles in a row with the same tribes ever. I've only searched for the idol once, it's too much of a process to try and eliminate the options to track a bitch down, I don't even want to deal with it.

Jay

So Ricky is PROBABLY going. And I feel bad because I'm in two other games with him and that could fuck me over in both of those. Whatever though. My #1 ally on this tribe, Liana, wants him out so that's what I'll do. I'm just gonna give a little insight on my picks for the tribe. Ricky, for cannon fodder. Liana, because she has an idol and will always vote with me. Carson...I slightly regret picking him because he's a bit shady. I told him it's because we could play the middle between the two pairs, and I think he believed me. Billy, another really close ally. Connor, we got stuck with but I think it worked out bc he wants Ricky out.

Carson

jay picked this tribe bc he wanted me and him to be "in the middle" but what he doesnt realize is after we vote out one side, it's gonna be 2-2. but whatever i have to follow what he says even though i honeslee would rather vote out someone ese, but jay pretty much controls me bc hes good friends with liana, and liana's semi-chill? i think. plus shes making an effort to talk to me unlike ricky. oh welll lets hope ricky goes like planned?

Karen

anyway so i hear the tea that ricky is probably getting voted out which is honslee? SO UGLY..........annyway whatever tribe is going to tribal volvo or whatever, they better watch themselves bc i will get my #rickerrevenge

Billy

I fucking hate my life. And I hate these games.

Rhone

go ahead and have a fucking sip babes... ok so this round was fun! i got to pick one of the new tribes and i got FIRST PICK! i'm not typically this lucky in life so i'm not gonna lie i felt a little drunk with power. here was pretty much my line of thinking with each pick: drew - you know what i hate? going to tribal council. having drew on your tribe pretty much guarantees that won't happen lily - i'm trying to make amends with lily right now after the polynesia/westeros drama. i also really really like her as a person and she's competent in challenges so yeah this was an obvious one. figured she'd be down to work w me and drew. punpun - i knew i needed a fourth and they felt like the obvious pick bc they're good w me, drew and lily. we're all familiar enough that the four of us could easily align if we needed to. RTP - i want ryan to know that i don't hate him bc highkey i feel like he thinks i do because of weird hogwarts hosting drama from forever ago BUT he's also a beast in challenges and we were on tepelena together in the first round. i've never played with ryan before so i wanted him to know i think positively of him. karen - the choices were kait, karen and connor and i figured drafting karen would cause less drama than picking kait and i know her better than connor so...yeah. felt weird picking her last but it's not like she talks to me that much. my draft was clearly the best because we completely dominated the challenge. hopefully we can squeeze out another win before we inevitably swap again. as for this tribal i heard jay is gonna vote ricky out and i really don't want that but i feel like i'm powerless to stop it...there's this huge alliance that involves like jay and liana and people, this shit goes DEEP, deeper than i can possibly fathom as that fag who hosts HOS and doesn't know any of these people at all. but i really enjoy jay and feel like he'll work hard to keep me safe so i'm just gonna let him do his thing and hopefully at the merge he can bring me the numbers i need to go far. i also feel like people would vote for me at the end over jay, whereas with ricky or karen i'm way less sure about that. all i know is that everyone on my tribe is safe and they have ME to thank for putting them all together so they better be fucking grateful.

Alex P.

hey. its 9:05 pm and i just woke up from a bomb ass nap and i figured i should let you all know that.

Karen

also me @ this tribe swap [11/27/2016 12:14:55 PM] Karen :~): Damn I'm on the daddy tribe whew

(Ricky walked from the game)

[survivor-mindoro]

Ep: 1- “I don’t trust my own partner.” ~ Karen

OKAY FIRST CONFESSIONAL IM LAUGHING SO HARD AT THE POST SAYING WE BONDED U GUYS BEING SARCASTIC ALREADY HAHAHAHAHAHA no but fr i love karen but HaHAHA what a twist bc opposite sides last go around

Can't believe I woke up in head. Head same my autocorrect is a Christian  Hell*

d736163d DO WE HAVE TRIBES WHAT IS THIS

I'm shook that Julia is my partner I'm just blesst that it wasn't Kevin sjdbsjsvwjen whew!!! I think I can work well with Julia

FIRST GAME MOVE WAS SPENDING HALF AN HOUR ADDING EVERYONES DUO TO THEIR SKYPE NAME

AHHHH! it's such an interesting idea and bvw is so cool. i love being able to play with someone i know. these people seem really cool. hopefully i'm not first boot.

what what what up guys I'm back at it again with the white mans!!! me and my loved one are totally gonna rock this game(hopefully). he lives like 50 bajillion miles away so its gonna be hard communicating because of this little thing called "time zones" like who even invented those??? probably the Portuguese(s/o to mom). anyway I'm excited to play but I only wish it was Duncan..... how dare you for hosting!!!

I literally can't. These puzzles are so fucking hard like they are actually spawns of satan. SATANIC!!! I really wish i could talk to the other people more ...

Tag Yourself I'm Ricky not talking to anybody and putting me at risk of being a first boot even though I'm being social af

Whew so I feel like this tribal isn’t gonna end well. me and sydney have both been really busy so I don’t know how social we’ve been. Im hoping the people we have talked to will keep us safe but I have no idea what will happen.

abbey is my fave host

There isn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for this women.  I would even take off my clothes and give her a private show to the tunes of her soul because she's all that I need and more.  I would give birth to 10 of her children without using any drugs to help ease the pain and then I would give her one more just because our love is that insane.  There is not one thing that I would not do for my lover, my best friend, my honey, my Boo.  I can’t wait to meet her.

no one is PLAYING!!! NO ONE!!! It's annoying. Currently I'm just trying to pull together a five but that's providing to be difficult

So exactly what I thought was going to happen :D Happened Nicolas is targeting me for personal reasons and I can't do anything without this community literally shitting on my whole being I JUST SIGNED UP TO HAVE FUN

so much confusion

Cant wait to leave the game tonight!

When Karemom comes in clutch and makes an alliance chat to gather votes to help you stay? What a mommy. She's so nice I almost feel bad I had to tell Connor about her putting his name out to get the ball moving on him spilling tea that Julia was trying to turn the tables against me. But it worked out well. I'll write this in a more organized confessional in a bit

Um so this vote is messy as hell. I think the final decision is that Nic/Sydney will be getting voted out tonight but this is Survivor and anything could happen. I pray that Ricky and I survive this week

So, first things first Zack keeps saying he is writing cute things about me in his confessional so maybe I should do the same.....but I want to talk about my gameplay I don't want to talk about him so tough luck for him whoops. So coming into this game I have a sneaking suspicion that some people did not like me, but did I really think Julia and Nicolas could try to turn the tables on me that quick? No. I did not. But, it's alright. I had a few tricks up my sleeve to help me stay, or so I hope. I told Connor about Karen throwing his name out and he told me about Julia and Nicolas (I'm not even gonna bad mouth Sydney ever she is too sweet) throwing out mine. So, I went to Karen and told her what her partner was doing and we devised a plan to get Nic and Syd out while I solidified my alliance with Luke

I feel safe tonight, but I really have Mitch to thank for that. I feel like he will be a powerhouse in challenges. If I know anything about him, it's that if he can win, he will, and he usually can. So while I feel safe from the vote tonight I know that won't last forever. Unfortunately I've being hearing rumors that Nicholas and Sydney are getting voted off tonight OF COURSE because Nicholas and I seemed to be getting along. After tribal I really have to start thinking about my social game, because so far it's off to a slow start. But having immunity this round gives me more time, at least I hope anyway.

[4:57:37 PM] Karen :~): Kill me btw [4:57:43 PM] Karen :~): I'm literally [4:57:47 PM] Karen :~): This is so messy [4:57:55 PM] Karen :~): I don't trust my own partner [4:57:59 PM] Karen :~): Can y'all believe [4:58:56 PM] Camilla: i can because y'all didn't choose each other [4:59:00 PM] Camilla: hehe [4:59:13 PM] Camilla: what's going on, Karen? [4:59:17 PM] Camilla: i literally have no idea [4:59:36 PM] Karen :~): So at first I said that I'd wouldn't mind voting out Connor [4:59:58 PM] Karen :~): And someone's snake ass told him so he was ready to snatch me this morning [5:00:09 PM] Karen :~): And apparently I'm the one who suggested nic so [5:00:15 PM] Karen :~): Nic is coming for me [5:00:41 PM] Karen :~): And of course I'm suddenly a leader bc no one wants to take that role [5:04:02 PM] Camilla: i'm very sorry [5:04:07 PM] Camilla: people suck [5:04:25 PM] Karen :~): Tea

First off Karen like wtf? Does she want to be an early boot? Like everyone just listens to her and whatever she says goes. I'm targeting her without a doubt Connor is blowing up his own game and the game has hardly started

Hey y’alllll, so i’ve been super busy this weekend, but I’m so happy I got cast, I look forward to getting to know everyone, but I also know that I am socially pretty set in this game. I know a lot of people here so that’s super lit. Pat, Luke, and my mother Karen are here, so this is just great so far. And me and Danny shouldn’t be going!!!!

sooo I haven't been able to be on because I kinda was camping in the middle of nowhere this weekend!! But there are some friendly faces and people that dan know so I'm not too worried about elimination and I think me and dan can have some good alliances! I'm hopeful for this game and the weeks to come!! Kisses!!!

Hey everyone how's it going I'm back with my friend Kyla and we won immunity and I just got Pokémon Sun and Moon so I'm making a very short confessional because this game is my life rn. Today's candle is Vanilla Cardamom.

So everything is going well! Talking to a lot of people and getting to know everyone. I like Ting Ting and Seamus, they seem cool so far. They are already friends with Connor so that basically made that go off to a good start. I think for right now I am just going to ride it out and see how far I can float until I really have to get my hands dirty.
