Hi, I was wondering will Will ever going to tell his little brother that he delivered his girlfriend to Frankie?

Ahahahhahahaha!

No.

Wow, that's a tough one.

In French we say, "all truths are not good to tell" and clearly, that's the case here. Part of it will be in the epilogue but basically, Ben does ask his brother what he knew. And Will, who is, in his own words, "the best of the best, able to shut down, control, manipulate,” will strictly answer that: what he knew. Which is that he guessed there was a history between Frankie and Gabrielle, and that Gabrielle told him, when he pressed her, that they were together very briefly but that it had been (much) more than a "one-off thing". And that's it (but you can already imagine poor Ben's feelings, as he realises how blind he's been).

One might say Will betrayed his baby brother. Ben would say Will betrayed him, BUT that wouldn't change anything, that would only isolate him, hence Will's way of handling the situation. In Will's mind, things were always going to play out that way between Gabrielle and Frankie, so he just did and keeps doing what he thinks is the least armful to all parties involved.

And he's so very soft on Gabrielle. He really wants her to be happy. He knows his brother will be fine in the end (once he meets a stunning redhead named Nicole...)

What do you think? Do you think Will was wrong, not telling Ben the whole truth? That he shouldn't have taken Gabrielle to Frankie? I'm really curious ☺️

What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It's very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it's now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.

i love the concept that carmilla and velvette have their own kinda one sided rivalry where carmilla generally thinks the vees are annoying and disagrees with their way of doing things but isn't actually invested in antagonizing them, but after like two meetings where she disagrees with velvette on anything velvette is like 'this bitch HATES me LOL she wants me DEAD' because a) she takes any offense very personally b) she's got an inflated sense of her own importance on other ppls lives c) she's the biggest holder of grudges on the planet d) she has this innate sense that other women hate her and want to tear her down e) gay reasons

robin cross and kevin day parallels actually go so crazy. they both spent their formative years in a basement underground with exy-obsessed captors. they both saw exy as freedom. they both were isolated even within the foxes’ group of outcasts. they were both under andrew’s protection. it cost kevin jean to leave the nest and it cost robin another girl’s life to escape her kidnapper. robin carried her racquet with her to self-soothe and kevin restrings the net of his when he’s anxious. they’re even bird coded

I think any fix-it mouthwashing au has to have the mandatory scenes of Curly either being able to blink again or speaking for the first time.

SORRY this is MORE dialogue from lucanis’ recruitment quest i just need people to be going through this with me

[electric-plants]

cyno: delivery for you.

alhaitham: …this letter is from you

cyno: yes. i’d already written it by the time i realized i didn’t trust anyone else to bring it to you

alhaitham: you could just tell me what it says then since you’re already here

cyno: i can’t say it out loud in your office

alhaitham: ah. so it must be a fairly sensitive case—

alhaitham: cyno.

cyno: what?

alhaitham: this just says that you think i’m pretty

cyno: yes, because i do and - considering the nature of our current relationship - i thought i should let you know.

alhaitham: again— you could just tell me?

cyno, frowning: we’re at work, that would be unprofessional. though i suppose you’ve already breached the line by reading it out loud so please be more considerate next time :/

Sweet boy isn’t use to Joe even SLIGHTLY raise his voice or having a tone with him lmao so much that he vividly recalled the one time he did “ scream”😭💀

😭 joe probably didn't scream like idk it was probably like when he was yelling loud about that bug in his mouth but more serious idk. but ja'marr, babyyyy ja'marr who was like 19?? a sophomore!! who was still learning how to navigate life while being in such a spotlight!! probably had some reservations on how he interacts with joe the first few years of being together yk?? i've never actually watched their lsu games lmao just compilations of their highlights but the screenshots of joe's faceee during the ole miss game and the recounts of him being weirdly pissy that game is so 😭😭 like my guy what goes onnnn ja'marr probably had his hackles up in response to joe's hackles being up. ergo saying joe 'screamed'.

hearing ja'marr's recount on how joe touched him (🥰) and told him he won't throw him the ball at all (😔) and then looking down dejected as hell saying 'okay' and taking it off like JOE IS A BULLY??????? /joking ofc but wowww ja'marr was just COLD 😭 and joe told him to suck it up basically or he won't be playing 😭😭 god what the hell is wrong with these two. joe being his star qb and senior etc ja'marr couldn't even defend himself!! his little face when he said 'i was like okay'?? cuteeeeeee had a brief urge to fight joe burrow for an event years ago that was probably not as dramatic as ja'marr made it seem lmao.

edit: i wanted to add a bit more sorry :")) when he said 'it was cool' quietly with that face!! cute as helllll etc sorry extremely biased here but anyways was it like....not cool at first? like did he pout for ages about it and fridge joe out from the entire thing that joe had to quickly change up and grovel slightly or he was going to deal with an icy ja'marr throughout what's left of their schedule 😭 just extremely cute to think about hehe

a wild moment at work today, when my boss (at the end of quite a long speech about why I should track my work better) essentially said, "but you're not getting any credit for your accomplishments!" and I realized I genuinely didn't care.

Hi! My brain won't leave me alone. Is Benny totally clueless what's happening with reader? I mean not about Frankie but she is definitely keeping her distance and secrets. She doesn't really opened up to him about her past struggles because emotions feel messy and she hates to be out of control (?). And she feels like she doesn't really connect with him because of being vulnerable means, she should trust another guy which she didn't do since Frankie. I wonder if he feels he is more invested in this relationship emotionally and he could never fully reach her no matter what he does.

Thank you so much for this ask 🧡 You get them, her especially, and it makes me very emotional, in a very good way 🧡 I'm afraid I'm going to ramble again, I'm very sorry 🤦🏻‍♀️

"emotions feel messy and she hates to be out of control"? Is a perfect way to describe her struggles. She was raised by a selfish, narcissist mother who resented her for just being there, so she grew up thinking she takes up too much space, and that her emotions were not valid. So she's learned to bury them, sometimes dulling them with physical pain.

This said, Benny has been a big step forward in her life. While Eric was her attempt at "normality", Benny makes her feel genuinely good. He's carefree, and his levity is contagious. But she's not completely herself.

I’m fascinated by the idea that some of us are complex puzzles who present different sides of ourselves to people. The idea that no one can know anyone thoroughly, and how it plays in the soulmate trope. That soulmates instinctually know each other entirely, and love each other wholly.

PTMY is a fairy tale because that's what Frankie is to Reader, and Reader to Frankie.

Regarding Benny, it took him a LONG while, where Frankie would have sensed it in a split second, but he's finally realised something's wrong. In “Love is Blindness”, their conversation on the phone was supposed to show that. He starts by talking about his drink with Frankie but then remembers to ask her about her night with Rosie, he wants to hang the curtains, in the end he plainly asks her if everything's alright. I've tried to be a little more obvious about the fact that he suspects something in the next chapter.

He thinks -poor baby- he might be doing something wrong, and he's willing to fix it. Benny doesn't pause to think, he acts. He's not good with words, but he does give her affection. I don’t think he's ever formulated it to himself, that he's more invested. He certainly is, but that's not how he perceives it. He's too straightforward. He thinks that she needs more time, and he's willing to give it to her.

And you are right, she's made a conscious choice to not open herself to anyone like she did with Frankie. She's waiting for him. She's been waiting for him her entire life. Long before she even met him.

Wouldn't you wait for this man?

I hope I’ve answered your questions?

THANK YOU, ILY 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Right and his work menaces (Brent and Karen).

I don't remember last I mentioned it but apart from crude nicknames to people (except Chris), he also just puts them in his phone really weird (except Chris, who is literally in his phone as Chris). And I bring this up because in Right's phone, Karen is saved as "Lawful Obligation".
