How did all of the parents meet? This might be a doozy… I’m mostly curious about the Stokes parents. Something about them gives off Christian highschool sweethearts vibes that married immediately after graduating.

Great question! Stories below!!!

vvvv

> Jerry’s dad was the ultimate high school dork, the kind of guy who spent lunch organizing his baseball cards. His mom? A really popular cheerleader, always surrounded by friends and way out of his league. But somehow, she ended up sitting next to him in class and sweet-talking him into doing her homework. Turns out, they both loved baseball, and that was all it took. One game, one shared pack of peanuts, and suddenly that massive dork wasn’t so invisible anymore. They got each other promise rings and married after high school.

> Pete’s dad wasn’t exactly looking for love at the strip club, he was just… there. A lot. His mom was one of the dancers, rolling her eyes at guys like him but taking his tips anyway. Somehow, they kept running into each other, and one night, instead of a lap dance, they ended up sharing cheap wings and talking until closing time. Maybe it was a weird accident, or maybe they were both just a little lonely, but that one night turned into Tony. (First born / oldest) the rest kind of followed after that, they decided to start dating and eventually get married. Not a single pregnancy was planned, that’s all ima say.

> Bill’s dad had a way with words, and his mom had never been sweet-talked before. At the office Christmas party, he cornered her by the punch bowl and laid it on thick, told her she was the prettiest girl in the building, and she just melted. She wasn’t used to that kind of attention, and by New Year’s, they were practically inseparable. Marriage came fast, and kids even faster. But somewhere along the line, the charm wore off (mostly due to their kids fucking up everything). His dad packed up one day and moved far away, calling just often enough to remind them he still existed.

> Josh’s parents met the way most people don’t.. just bumping into each other at the airport. His mom dropped her bag, and his dad helped pick it up. Casual. They started talking while waiting at the gate, realizing they had both graduated college a few years ago and still had no clue what they were doing with their lives. It was one of those long, meandering conversations that felt too good to stop, so they just… didn’t. They missed their flights and ended up sitting in the airport cafe, swapping stories about odd jobs and big dreams. A few months later, they reconnected, and eventually, Josh came along.

Hope you liked reading! Asks r still open!

I like to think that after Ice died, Mav kept his shoes by the front door so that when he gets home after work and takes his shoes off it’s like Ice is still there in the house waiting for him to come home

[bronzetomatoes]

the images that i'm not sure are real of geoff and pete together drive me a little too insane for my brain 2 process. which begs the question: girl geoff and girl pete. y/n?

free money forever y/n?

this is a bit of an ask inspired by another ask (and also ridiculously silly) but what’s the boys’ relationship with penny like in the future?? i loved the little snippet of her at bradley’s wedding and ice trying to figure out if she’s a threat or not (and then maverick coming back from dancing and saying he couldn’t stop gushing over ice….ugh!!!) but do they become good solid friends? I like the idea of them expanding their circle now that they can trust more people…even if one of those people are one of maverick’s exes

additionally: do her and ice ever talk about their shared experiences (not sex, ice would probably keel over and die, but just…having a relationship with mav)? the thought of penny cornering him is ridiculously funny to me. or maybe they never reach that point of comfort 🤷‍♀️ i just need to know if she ever takes them both sailing and ice gets a chance to laugh at mav on a boat

[also, in all sincerity, I have an unhealthy amount of things to say about this series and I’m a bit sad it’s over, but I love everything you’ve done <3 I could compliment it for days on end and probably never run out of things to say]

ice to Penny at mav’s birthday party sometime over the last five years: Hey! Good to see you again :) thanks for coming …

Penny, apropos of nothing: so.,. weve never talked one-on-one… but. You and i have both been inside Pete Mitchell at some point ?

That's all i can think of... 🥊 Thank you for the ask!

I hope it's ok to throw up some Pete thoughts into your inbox, but that last rb of the fake vegaspete scenes has me thinking soooo many thoughts too. Even thinking about the original scene with Pete giving Porsche blocking advice... Do you think it's hard for Pete not to just see the violence in everything? Do you think it's hard for him to tell the difference? Was it easier for him to project his trauma onto Vegas than it was Porsche? Sorry sorry, my brain is kicking around so many hypotheticals that I almost want to write poetry

Oh anon, first of all, you can always come and throw at me *all* the Pete thoughts, I assume you've seen my blog and know how I'm like about that man. Second of all, damn, those questions are fascinating. I've never actually thought of Pete and violence and sex in that way before, at least not consciously (I think - I've only been thoroughly obsessing over him for almost 2 years lol). But anyway, for starters, I don't believe Pete is a stranger to sex. Even if he's a virgin in the show (something that was never confirmed), he's not oblivious to it. No matter the show's insistence at using Pete for comedic purposes in regards to him not knowing KP were a thing, I refuse to believe it! So, while, unfortunately, the scene with Porsche and the hickeys cannot really be interpreted in any other way than Pete having misunderstood what he saw on Porsche's neck, your question raises a good point for his character: does every act, including sex, involve violence for him? In my opinion, yes. Yes it does. Pete seeing the potential violence in everything could be a trauma response or a defense mechanism, both of which highly probable, as evidenced in ep4 with the table scene (though in that one, we had actual violence and potential escalated violence, depending on Tankhun's behaviour which Pete tried to control). Because of this, I don't think it's a matter of him finding it hard or not; it's a subconscious thing. I also don't think it'd be hard for him to tell the difference, but rather, Pete wouldn't *need* to tell the difference, because sex isn't something made for him. He's never thought it'd be something he would experience in his life before Vegas, so why distinguish one kind of violence from another? This is one of the main reasons why I utterly love their NC scene: it wasn't violent. Sure, it might have been painful - Pete hadn't completely healed yet, he was still wearing bandages and, depending on one's headcanon or not, penetration surely hurt to some degree - but it wasn't violent. It was hot kisses and licking necks and ass eating and slow thrusts and more kisses and.. yeah, you get the point. I believe it wasn't what Pete expected, same as the audience who witnessed it. Perhaps he expected another kind of violence, but got something completely different in the end, which is why Vegas using the handcuff again hit Pete so hard. The usual kind of violence returning, after the lack of it. He got too comfortable. He forgot to protect himself from the violence. Now, in regards to your last question, I believe Vegas' trauma is easier for Pete to project himself onto because it's a mirror (something @loveliesblood has actually said, because their brilliant character interpretations are brilliant). Pete's been there before, so he can empathize with a lost Vegas who's only response to the abuse is to blame himself. There's also the safety of distance: the days he'd been subjected to boxing against his will are over, so he's not in direct danger of his father abusing him like Vegas is. With Porsche, it's a little tricky. Taking as a hypothetical that he learns about what happened to Porsche somehow, the story hits a little *too* close to home for him to be able to process the trauma. There's no distance this time: it's here and now and he has to face it. But Pete is a hypocrite with no clue of what introspection means, so he shields himself from it, like he tries to do in ep13, in the infamous bathtub scene with Porsche, my favourite scene in the whole show. He cowers and hides and deflects. It's gorgeously agonizing to watch and I love it so, so much. This ended up being a little too long and I'm scared that I fucked up your incredible ask, but to salvage it a little bit, I'd like to highly encourage you to write the poetry you mentioned; we can never have enough of it, especially in the VP fandom. I'm sure it'll be wonderful ❤️ (Shoutout to @musictooth and their series of made-up vegaspete scenes, thank you so much for the brainworms haha)
