Awkward Omo Moments On Watcher #1

(Please note that this post is just meant for silly and depraved fanficcy shenanigans and that all of the quotes are real but I have edited the screenshots for crosstalk etc. Anyway, PROCEED). So, like you do on the Internet in 2023, I'm just listening to a podcast alone in my living room and minding my own goddamn business when, with MINUTES to spare:

Omo fans be like:

THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION DURING THE EP WAS A LOT BUT AT THE VERY END THEY JUST HAD TO ESCALATE IT LIKE...BRUH.

I have to wonder what the crew thinks when these absurd conversations are going on...anyway, Shane goes on to say he thinks Ryan is being a bit too uptight about this and--

WE ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS ABORT MISSION ABORT MISSION!

HOW TF DID THIS ESCALATE TO GOLDEN SHOWERS LIKE EXCUSE ME???? There were points being made about peeing in the shower vs. not peeing in the shower but I know I am not the only one who was just sitting there like

SHANE WTF SIR THIS IS A WENDYS

I KNOW WHAT HE WAS GETTING AT BUT OF *ALL* THE WORDINGS HE COULD HAVE CHOSEN

SHANE HAVING THE LION THE WITCH AND THE AUDACITY OF THIS BITCH TO BE ASKING US THIS AT THE END OF THE EPISODE LIKE MY BROTHER IN CHRIST PLS STOP BEING SO PARASOCIAL

[weareinastormoffuck]

Honestly I know these are all jokes and not to be taken seriously for the most part but the fact that everytime discussions get “heated” Shane interrupts Ryan to say they are still friends and he loves him is something else. The way Shane knows just how anxious Ryan is about everything he doesn’t want Ryan to ever question their friendship or question if Shane really is mad at him or anything like that. They are truly just too much sometimes.

[tasty-littl-snack]

You ever think about how Ryan involves Shane in all "what if" situations... "When I die, and Shane will be there of course..." And then Shane is surprised that he would be there that Ryan would count him in... "why would I be there". Bruh Ryan chose you as his platonic soulmate that's why.

[littlekingbergara]

.... right.

“Vacation, huh?” Ryan started, considering it (considering him). Shane raised his brows, waggling them to get a snicker out of his partner. “...Ah, fine, whatever. I’m telling you now though, I’m going to enjoy myself, and I’m not promising anything.” “Hm… guess I’ll have to find you ways that’re more fun than knockin’ some poor bastard out.” Aka: The Lim did owe them a vacation.

Ten Years With You (& Here's to Many More) by PlatinumPussycat208 | G, 1K, complete

The two men stepped out into the sunshine. The crowd cheered and the music crescendoed. Confetti flowers fluttered on the breeze around them, spirals of colour dancing in the air. “Welcome all!” Ryan’s voice boomed through the crowd. “To the grand banquet celebrating our tenth year of marriage!” He leaned his head on Shane’s shoulder, grinning up at his husband. Shane looked down at his King, his face flushed with warmth and love. “And to the unification of the kingdoms and anniversary of peace!” Shane announced. The courtyard was flooded with cheers and applause. - Kings Ryan and Shane celebrate their wedding anniversary

Proven by ouijaboy | T, 2K, complete

There’s a strange man wandering the corridors of Shane’s castle, which sounds like a really convoluted euphemism at first, but is in fact Just The Truth. (Or, Shyan from different kingdoms meet in court.)

Throne Woes by denimwrapped | T, 1K, complete

Ryan slips in through one of the backdoors, holding his key close. He's been coming to the throne room more often as of late, but it's still strange to see it so empty. The hall, usually filled with guards and tourists and citizens with complaints, now a great hollow monument to days long by. Only the portraits of past monarchs, all but one of them now dead, are still there to see him enter.

Beta Listeners for Podfic Wanted

I'm getting into making podfics, and I have a lot of upcoming ones that I could use some beta listeners for.

I know it's a stretch to post here, cause I don't know if I have any mutuals or followers that are interested in podfics. But here goes

Podfics are audiobooks for fics! Awesome right? And I wanna make sure I'm posting the best versions I can!

I'm looking for someone/s who can give me feedback on

-if there are pauses that are too long or too short

-repeat or missing words

-bothersome or missed background noise

You can look here for pods I've posted

I'd love a long term beta listener but if you can only help occasionally or one time, that's still awesome!

I'm doing all kinds of ships and fandoms, so if you see any that interest you, let me know.

I mostly do fluffy, pining, get together fics. I love AUs (college, neighbors, roommates, but also funky ones like space AUs or movie AUs), but also Canon divergent, trans fics, adventure, trauma processing. And I'm a sucker for extra long fics. (I sometimes do smut, but i prefer minimal smut, like at the end of a long fic).

I'm currently working on

-Teen Wolf (Sterek)

-Marvel (Stucky, Spideypool, Gammahammer, possibly some Clint Barton/Matt Murdock and Spidey/Deadpool/Daredevil)

-Stranger Things (Harringrove)

-Harry Potter (Drarry, have done Wolfstar and Dreville)

-Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (Narvey and Harvey/Nick/Sabrina)

-Mandalorian (Din/Boba/Luke, might do Dinluke and BobaDin soon)

-BFU and Watcher (Shyan)

(I'm highly debating doing some Witcher pods so we'll see 👀)

[skepticbeliever-bookclub]

Hi! Could you possibly rec some good recent good Shyan fics? Preferably set in the making/creating of Watcher but as long as it is new to the fandom I’m not too fussy...I get overwhelmed searching through the tag and was hoping for recommendations! Trust your judgement!

Hey there!

We weren’t sure if you were just looking for new fic, or fic specifically about making/creating Watcher, so we landed on the latter. If it’s the former you’re after, do send us another note!

How to make a business baby, starring the usual suspects.

Big Apple Steven and That Time He Obliviously Third-Wheeled His Friends All Summer - beethechange | T, 12k, complete

Steven Lim is not a stupid man. Steven Lim is a capable man, an ex-scientist, creator and producer of Buzzfeed’s most popular video series. He helped invent Tide Pods, for Pete’s sake. Tide Pods.

So he knows he’s no idiot. He’s naïve, perhaps. He has blind spots, like anyone, particularly when it comes to relationships, especially when it comes to sex.

Still, when he walks in on Ryan sitting astride Shane’s lap on the sofa, tongue fully in the guy’s mouth, hand fully down his pants, Steven reckons he should probably have seen this one coming.

an idea whose time has come - beethechange | T, 12k, complete

Or: 5 times Ryan Bergara sort of joked that they should blow this popsicle stand,

+1 time he definitely didn’t joke about it.

Lost a fic? We can help. Send an ask!

Steven: How soft are your lips?

Shane: Very veeery soft.

Steven: Really? Are you being serious?

Ryan: Can I sample them?

"[We gotta think of some other food] because if popcorn is thrown into the mix they might end up with [ressurecting either] me or Ryan" - Shane Madej pod watcher 47

I mentioned before how Ryan is so confident in his friendship with Shane he imagines him at the end of his life but this to me confirms that like this friendship goes beyond that huh. When someone would want to ressurect Shane they'd end up with Ryan and vice versa. Even after death they would love popcorn so much it would connect them and maybe bring them back. What an insane thing to say.

[tasty-littl-snack]

They are soulmates and no one can’t convince me otherwise.

Whenever I think of the "This is a dessert and most of these cakes are sweet but some have wasabi in it" and Ryan and Shane are the only ones out of the whole group who end up with the spicy ones I am convinced they really have some soulmate stuff going on.

Even if you think about it, the fact that they met and started working together because they happened to sit next to each other is one of these meet cutes that most romcoms start off.

And then you get deeper and learn of the popcorn lore how before they knew each other and still lived in different parts of the country they tried to game the system to gain more popcorn and thought this was some innovative things because nobody else in their group did this. Like imagine going "hey did you know of this hack I used to do" "Yeah I did the exact same thing".

Sometimes fate works in mysterious ways and it's to bring two people together who were "destined to be..." (actual words from an audio commentary of mystery files).

All the hypothetical scenarios they come up with the other is always there... like how they were like "if you weren't doing what you're doing what would you be" and then they were like "theatre" and still meet... I think that's some soulmate stuff as well.

You think "oh Shane wouldn't haunt Ryan if he were to die" and you think "that's because he's a skeptic" but then he's like "when you try to resurrect us don't bring popcorn because it could bring back either me or Ryan". And that's an implication of "We'd both be dead together and our souls intertwined so if you try to bring back one the other will appear" as if their souls are connected and there are many other timelines where they also meet and are important to each other....

Also the whole bit about ghoul boys having a bond that lasts forever that's unbreakable, and how it can't be undone. Them taking an oath... what's that about (all things they said at one point)

All these things happened to them for real I'm not really exaggerating when I bring these up. So yes I also think they are soulmates and meant to be etc etc.

There's so many coincidences that made them meet each other and it all worked out in the end and now they also choose this life (to work together every day and also spend free time together? They have to like each other very much I think.) How they are always looking forward to the tour (spending even more time together than they already do???). I think that's what soulmates are in whatever way you want to interpret it but this is the closest to life partners you'll get.

[tasty-littl-snack]

Thinking abt them saying that they can't take vacations at the same time.... no wonder they like touring so much it really is like a roadtrip and a way for them to spend free time together.

[shyanshippingsociety]

Heya was wondering if you had any ff recommendations for shane x ryan which are set like nowish (so the setting is at buzzfeed unsolved or like watcher?) Tysm, im new to the shyan community !

welcome to the community !! happy to have you <3

our server members recommended these fics, hope you like them!

fics marked with an '♦️' are written by our server members, can have been written before or after they joined <3

♦️Teacher's Pet || chapscher || 25k || explicit || complete

“You aren’t describing a teacher’s pet! You’re describing… I don't know the name for it. Someone who tries to seduce their teacher so they can get a better grade.”

“Isn’t that a teacher’s pet?”

“No!”

Ryan is tired of losing every episode of Puppet History and asks Shane to tutor him. Shane obliges and tries to keep the tutoring session on track even as they distract each other

♦️Puppet History: Bedroom University || idkspookystuff || 3k || explicit || complete

Ryan doesn't have a thing for the Professor. He might have a thing for being told what to do.

♦️friends kiss too || Zhalia || 10k || explicit || complete

So before his brain can stop him, he hears the sound of his words, “Do you always kiss your friends on their lips?”

Shane finds himself looking down at Ryan, curious about how he’ll respond.

Ryan simply smiles, and shrugs as he says, “It’s an old habit — friends kiss too.” Which explains absolutely nothing.

aka Ryan kisses his friends casually and Shane has only a minor breakdown over it.

blond(e) || drunkkenobi || 15k || explicit || complete

In which Shane is a late bloomer to coloring his hair and his own sexuality. Not necessarily in that order.

I Wanna Give It To You || Fraudgara || 14k || explicit || complete

It was only once Ryan had stared at the cube-shaped thing for a moment that he realized it was a remote control. It had a tiny screen, an on/off button, another button marked "interval", and + and – buttons labeled "vibration".

They hadn’t talked about sex. They hadn’t talked about a lot of stuff. Ryan figured it sort of came with the territory of knowing your best friend in and out and wanting to kiss him so bad your head hurt. It had to come with the territory when you knew said best friend wanted the same thing without his ever really opening his mouth to say it.

Or Ryan receives a butt plug for his birthday which gives him an idea of what to give Shane for Christmas.

as the world caves in || ghoultown || 14k || teen and up || complete

Ryan is stressed. Shane is stressed. They each have their own stressors. They are both more than happy to pick up each other's pieces.

Like Wildfire || makemadej (santamonicayachtclub) || 20k || explicit || complete

“Is this gonna be a thing with you?” Ryan demands. “You can’t keep committing to stuff that no one else knows about! When people online say they want you to be more open and vulnerable, this is not what they mean.”

“I know!” Shane wails. “I fucked up.”

“Again,” Ryan points out, which is true but really not necessary.

(Or: the one where Shane accidentally tells Ryan's mom they're a couple and they commit to the bit)
