#replies: the domestic pleasures of indie routledge

Are u going to do more indie and jj

so, this is what i'm in two minds about... i want to.

i LOVE indie and jj, and their little tilly... but there's one thing that really puts me off writing about them again...

it's going to sound petty, and i think i've spoken about this before, but it's kiara... i absolutely HATE her character in the show and typically i would just get rid of her like poof bitch be gone... but it's kind of hard. she's in the later years series which means i can't get rid of her in domestic pleasures and she still has to be around... and also i think she's also one of indie's bridesmaids in the later years... so she's not easily poofable...

i really despise her character now bc of what the show and madison bailey have done with her and it seriously just ZAPS my motivation to write having to write about her (hence why when obx3 came out i started writing something new)

so idk, idk how to get around this whole thing. i want to but i need to figure out what i'm doing with myself and just tumblr in general atm

i can neither confirm nor deny whether there is an indie x jj wedding in the future 👀 also, i was lowkey going to have them break up and have jj from my vodka martini series bu future indie series jj... does that make sense? but i totally agree! he wouldn’t ever be able to open up to anybody the way he has indie ever again which is sad 😩

i think indie drives everyone nuts but that’s why we all love her 😂 but she’s really matured over the last couple of chapters (sometimes she just needs shit to get real before she realises)! it’s all thanks to jj, though, without him she would be causing so much trouble that john b might actually spontaneously combust 😩

thank you for your feedback again 💛

i'm on my laptop rn so i apologise for the lack of emojis but thank you sm for sobbing in my tags!!

it's taken him a long time to get there but he finally feels comfortable enough to open himself up to her, and just be vulnerable with her like she is with him. it really is the two of them against the world when it comes down to things, because he would never tell anybody else the kind of things he's opened up to indie about, and although he hasn't got to the big thing just yet, he will do. he'll do it in time and when he's ready

indie can and always has been there for him in the same way that he's always been there for her, it's just she doesn't get half the chances to show that like jj does because jj is so uncomfortable being vulnerable and talking about his feelings. but he's getting there and there will be plenty of chances in the future for indie to show that she can be the mature one in their relationship who offers support and advice!!

"even when indie drives me nuts" i think that's a common phrase from everyone in her life tbh

but yes, they do love each other so so so much and they can show it sometimes (and even say it). sometimes they just need a bit of soft love in the midst of all their passion and chaos

i truly need for the two of them to stay together forever, simply because he feels that comfortable with her and loves her enough to open up to her like that 🥺 like i feel like if things don’t work with them (which they better 😡🔪) he’d have an even harder time opening up to the next girl, if he did at all.

pls even though miss indie truly does drive me nuts, i really think she’s on the right path to being a little more mature (especially with jj holding her accountable for all of her shit) and that kind of emotional and mental maturity, even when she’s still her chaotic indie self, is going to be such a good look for her.

ugh i love them so much 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Is Jiara being canon gonna change Indie and JJ?

yano what? the one thing that i regret the most is getting rid of sarah. i hated her character in s1 and i loved kiara but since s2 my opinions have flipped. i love sarah’s character and kiara is honestly insufferable. i really wish i could re-write things and have sarah still be around

i genuinely want to kill kiara off but i know that i can’t do it in the domestic pleasures bc she’s in the later years. but my issue is that i just really hate writing her character. i don’t like her and i find it really hard/draining to do so. i don’t envision her being a part of the universe whatsoever

but up until this point (mostly written during s1 and the wait for s2), indie and kiara have a sister-like relationship so i’m just stuck

hello frankie, i saw this tiktok and it really reminded me of indie and jj.. thought i’d share it with you!

omg this was sweet!!

this does give me indie & jj vibes

[cognacdelights]

domestic pleasures chapter tomorrow night? 👀

[cognacdelights]

since i see indie as this confident, no bullshit type of gal, it tore me up to see her so emotional and insecure when her mother was brought up. knowing that she has a great support system in her brother and her partner made me feel more at ease for indie. i loved your writing for this chapter … it ripped me up and then put me back together. can’t wait to see what you do next!

so that’s definitely the kind of person that indie projects herself out to be into the world!! and she can be that person, but there will always be a part of her that’s softer and more fragile, maybe even a little insecure. sometimes the no bullshit bad bitch indie comes out and sometimes her more sensitive side does!

and she really does have a great support system around her! it might not be the conventional or typical family but they make it work! she’s definitely loved and cares for by a lot of people (even if she doesn’t always feel it) and they’re always going to go running when she calls

thank you so much! i really appreciate this sm 💛

[cognacdelights]

i loved the new chapter! poor john b, i hope he doesn't stay mad at indie for too long. also very excited to hear about his hot boy summer

thank you so much!

john b was an unfortunate casualty in the whole indie and eve fall out but it's kind of just shown him sarah's true colours... so we'll have to see if he realises that or indie's in the dog house#

also we're all excited for john b's hot boy summer lmfao i have a list of names to pick from he's gonna have a new girl every chapter i kid you not

[cognacdelights]

JJ and indie always having each other’s backs>>>>>>

yes but calling each other out in private when needed. that is the winning combo

[cognacdelights]

I was bored, laying next to my boyfriend while he’s playing Xbox and I just re-read the whole indie series and ughhh I love you sm 💕 you’re such a talented writer

ahhh thank you so much! i love that people not only read, come back for the next chapter, but also re-read 😩 it makes my heart so full 💛

[cognacdelights]

were the three paragraphs you were talking about the conversation in the car between indie & john b?? the tequila leads to blowjobs convo?? bc i CACKLED at that part😂😂

lmfao yes i think it’s my favourite but if dialogue i’ve ever written 😭

also not me planning on having jj bring indie back a bottle of tequila bc john b’s told him about what she said 😭

[cognacdelights]

Ok wait…. If indie is pregnant, she’ll have to ask John b for his permission for the abortion…😳

you’ll just have to wait and see what happens bestie… 👀

i wonder what john b would think of that 👀

[cognacdelights]

WAIT A SECOND

i thought only nice girls who don’t wake jj up at at six o’clock in the morning by screaming at him to kill the spider in the bathtub get diamond rings

well he couldn’t just admit that he’d bought her a ring because that would ruin the surprise so bestie had to resort to sarcasm

[cognacdelights]

after the new chapter i’m just imagining if things had gone differently and indie just walked into john n’s house one day like “hey big bro, i’m pregnant. oh and me and jj are engaged!! 🤪” and what his reaction would be to that. i’m assuming taking a good minute to comprehend and then just “WHAT”

john b would go off for the first like five minutes and he would scream and yell and be angry and then once he’s got it all off he’s chest he would be reattached going his house to fit baby equipment 😂 you just know he would want to build like a play area and swing set for his little niece of nephew and be like “we could get rid of the bed in the spare room for a crib”

i don’t think he would have such an issue with the engagement, especially if she was pregnant, because he would see it as jj being committed and proving it

[cognacdelights]

am i like the only one that genuinely doesn't want indie to be pregnant???? like at all.

probably not, there’s probably readers out there that don’t want her to be pregnant

and, well, there’s jj flying the flag for team negative wearing all the merch

but we shall have to see 👀

[cognacdelights]

Everything I could’ve wanted in a jj/indie comfort scene about his dad🙌 I was so scared they were gonna fight but Jj is a ✨feminist✨

i’m really glad that you enjoyed it! i tried my best to make it as realistic as possible. i know that in these situations people often have reader/oc have the perfect speech lined up and i kinda based indie’s reaction of what mine would be like if somebody had unloaded that kind of trauma on me? and that’s basically that she doesn’t know what to say apart from that she loves him, and wants to make that known

there was potential for them to fight and it very nearly almost happened but i thought this would be much more of a true to them reaction

and yes! jj is many things but he would never ever force ind to do something that she didn’t want to actually do; he would much rather take on the burden of a baby he wasn’t ready for than push her into an abortion because he cares about her too much to ever see her hurt like that!

[cognacdelights]

OK LISTEN

i was half right because i got the first part right but i thought it was going to be sad because jj was mad and stormed out or like told her it’s him or the baby and storms out or some shit but i literally love what you did

except for the cliffhanger. i reblogged the fic and told you to go to timeout for that.

I AM LISTENING

see there was a part where jj was going to walk out after she had told him that she thought she was pregnant, and return hours later with a pregnancy test for her to take but i thought that might cause some irreparable damage between them and i didn’t want to do that because, at the end of the day, he wasn’t mad at indie… he just took things out on her 😩

thank you so much! i’m really glad that you liked what i did with the chapter! if there was ever a time for jj to completely open up about his past trauma, this was definitely it

guess who’s out of time out bby 🤪
