Kissing is for amateurs, we'd be ducking

[asherlockstudy]

Hi! Can you look at GMM today and tell us what to think of the ring situation (who's wearing which ring(s) and what it means)? And anything else you picked up on todays shows of course or anything else you want to share. Thank you!

The rings are a weak spot of mine cause I never notice whether there’s something off about them! Did you notice anything weird? I saw they both wore the wooden /“friendship” rings and Rhett still sports his oura ring. Link hasn’t for a while, maybe it doesn’t work anymore? Did anything else catch your attention?

Rings aside, that was one interesting day at work for them, wasn’t it? It is actually one of the rare cases I remember Rhett to be even more freaked out than Link. Like I had said recently, they definitely go through a phase lately. Link has been extra salty for some weeks and Rhett has become less patient than usual. Today it seemed like Rhett was barely holding it from the beginning and then some typical Link silliness was enough to set him off. Rhett all but exploded and Link was a little startled by that. Link tried to make light of it in GMM so that they wouldn’t just throw hands on the main episode lol but when they sat back on the desk for GMMore he took out some of his frustration on the Spork lady, because he knew confronting Rhett right then and there would send GMMore off the rails. In any case, they definitely had a fight before filming today’s episodes, there’s no other explanation.

I don’t know how this off phase they go through relates to the special videos they are preparing (like the “dig a hole” one) or the spring break they are taking. Did Rhett go anywhere? It seemed like Link went on a vacation but Rhett didn’t. We’ll see in the next Ear Biscuits. Rhett was in a foul mood during Link’s vacation as well, as he complained on Ear Biscuits about how nasty Link can be to him but it always goes under the fans’ radar.

So, I wonder, was Link’s trip a decision for them to take some time from each other and calm down? People are talking a lot today about their obvious anger and one commented she noticed things started being off when Link said he was going on vacation without Rhett. I am not sure this is the case though. Isn’t Rhett the NOT jealous one? They go on vacation separately many times as well, I don’t see why that would be a big deal. Also, those episodes today, were they filmed before or after Link’s trip? My bet is before as they usually film well ahead so this fallout might have been a little before Link left for the ski trip.

Ps.1: There was also some implication that Link cares too much about the way he looks? XD

PS.2: Rhett was mad enough that he also went for a lower blow, that of Christy feeling bad for loving Link, to which Link couldn't find a witty reply. That was uncharacteristically daring on Rhett's part and this means he was pretty angry.

[stuffandwonder]

Okay Rhetts definitely in a silly mood today-

Going on about it being a rave? Lol

Col-uhme 😅

Going off the screen and saying he was giving the bird cuz we couldn't see? Rhett behave 😆

'Its a snake!'

Uhuh. Big child energy so far

[memzhay]

Cuddle Time

Rhett’s guts were a proper mess this time, and his head was pounding. He felt stupid for not switching off the light in the office before flopping down on the brown leather sofa to rest and feel mildly sorry for himself. He threw his arm over his eyes and tried to take some deep breaths. It hurt.

The last of the main episodes they shot for the day had been fairly brutal by design. It was a trivia game designed to give Link an edge, with all the punishments being things specifically hard on Rhett. An electric shock from a hand buzzer that was no big deal. Link had accidentally shocked himself with it before punishing Rhett. At least they got a few laughs there. Liver, an eyeball, you know, the classics with the final punishment of a congealed blood cube. All things they had done before, some several times, but all together it was a bit much, and now Rhett couldn’t figure out exactly why they had agreed to it. The assurance of views most likely.

Link knew the bit, of course. While he had protested at the pitch, he had eventually agreed. It was supposed to be a treat for the fans who feel Link often has it too hard. Prince for a day. Let Rhett vomit a bit. Link had made it through the first few rounds jovially enough, but by the time the blood cube was up next, he had enough. He intentionally threw the last question, ate the blood cube, barfed like a champ, and had been surly and taciturn throughout Good Mythical More. Well, thinly veiled surliness with a few winks and smiles thrown to the camera for good measure.

Rhett hoped Link wouldn’t be in a mood all afternoon. He was a mercurial thing at times. Usually pleasant, kind, playful, but push him too hard, he can get in his head and spiral. Rhett was interrupted from his thoughts as Link slipped quietly in the room and switched off the light. Rhett sighed in relief at the darkness.

“You alright?” Link asked. His tone was strained, but not angry or sulky. Good. “Want some water or something?”

“Sure. Thanks Link,” Rhett replied. “You makin’ it ok?”

“I’ll be fine. I was a little harsh to Carney after the shoot, and I’m trying to decide if it was too harsh and I should apologize, or just harsh enough to let him know I mean business,” Link confessed.

“You can’t be tough on the writers, man. They didn’t do anything we didn’t agree to.”

“I know. I just didn’t know it would make me feel so sour watching you lose round after round and knowing it was on purpose. I don’t like watching you hurt, and I don’t like people feeling sorry for me. It’s just... Blech! I’ll apologize to him. But I don’t want to just yet. Let him at least think about it a bit. Besides, I’m not exactly feeling top of the line either.” Link opened a bottle of water from the mini fridge, sat it on the coffee table in front of Rhett, and wheeled his office chair over sinking down with an exhausted thud next to the sofa.

“You want the couch?” Rhett offered. “I can get up.”

“Nah. You’re fine where you are. You got the raw end of the deal today, brother.” Link thought a bit. “You remember when we had that white couch in here?”

“Sure,” Rhett answered. “It was big enough that we could both lay down on it when we had too much nastiness. This one just isn’t wide enough.”

“This one’s prettier though, and we are gentlemen of class and distinction these days,” Link said with a wink.

“Oh, you know it! You know, I bet we could both fit on this one if we laid on our sides,” Rhett mused.

“You mean like big spoon, little spoon?” Link asked incredulously.

“Why not! We could pretend Cuddle Queen Jean is here. You look beat, man. Come lay down with me. We’ve got time to relax. We can even skip that next meeting if we want.”

“Hell! We can skip all of ‘em if we want!” Link said defiantly.

“Yeah!” Rhett echoed, sounding macho. “We’re Rhett and Link! Nobody tells us what to do!”

“Except for all the people who tell us what to do,” Link chuckled sheepishly.

“Except for them. Now come be a little spoon,” Rhett said turning on his side and stretching his right arm out in front of him.

Link rolled his eyes, but kicked off his shoes and squirmed onto the couch.

“I’d still like to be the little spoon for a big ol’ dude someday,” Rhett said with a smirk. “Like Shaquille O’Neal or someone.”

“Well, I guarantee you Shaq would not fit on this couch with you!” Link wiggled into place trying to get a little more comfy. He ended up fitted snuggly against Rhett’s body, his head resting on his outstretched arm.

“See!” Rhett said sounding pleased. “We fit just fine! Now I just have to figure out what to do with this arm,” he said holding his left arm aloft and waving it a bit.

“Seems to me, it either ends up wrapped across my chest or on my butt,” Link chuckled.

“Across the chest seems more like a Cuddle Queen Jean maneuver. A sideways Baby Bear if you will,” Rhett said.

“Oh, I suppose I will,” answered Link, a smile in his voice as Rhett draped his arm over his friend.

“Speaking of your butt, what the heck is going on back here?!?” Rhett said in surprise.

“What? Oh, yeah. It’s my harmonica. I picked it up off my desk when I came in. I thought it might cheer you up.” Link reached back and pulled it out of his pocket.

“Can you even play, laying on your side?” Rhett asked.

“Might as well find out,” Link said, bringing the harmonica to his lips, testing it out, and starting a few bars of something that sounded like it belonged around a campfire. Something old. Down In the Valley, maybe? Who sings that? Gene Autry? Burl Ives? Something about someone not loving someone back and being in jail? It was nice, all languid and melancholy.

Rhett’s breathing slowed, and he realized his head didn’t hurt much anymore. He felt the weight and the warmth of Link pressed against him and his stomach didn’t feel that bad anymore either. Through the flat of his hand and his fingertips, he felt Link’s chest rise and fall as he played that sad, sweet song, and his heart wasn’t so uneasy anymore. He hadn’t even realized he felt so low until Link eased the ache of it just by being himself and being near. It happened that way a lot for them.

Turns out it is kind of difficult to play the harmonica when laying on your side and being snuggled by a large man. Link eventually set the harmonica on the coffee table and leaned back. Content.

“We should get some beds for the creative house,” Rhett mused. “That way, when we are feeling ill or down, we can go over there and take a nap.”

“Maybe one big bed,” Link said quietly. “We could do a bit for a vlog like we were talking about on Ear Biscuits where we have a sleepover. We stay up late. We drink. We play games. Then we climb into this big bed and tell the Mythical Beasts goodnight. Really give ‘em something to talk about.”

“We do that, they’ll think we just get in bed together all the time,” Rhett said.

“Well,” Link chuckled, gesturing to their current situation. They laid there laughing for a bit until Link about fell off the couch. Rhett squeezing him to keep him from ending up on the floor.

“Yeah. They would love that! We would even get big bold monogramed pillowcases!” Rhett said with a laugh.

They did miss that next meeting. They had earned the break. They laid there in the dark talking and laughing, sometimes about how people were silly for getting the ideas they get, and sometimes about how they should work assless chaps into a bit for GMM. They could wear underwear under them. Cute ones! With little hearts! No, lips!! It went on until they were ready to go on with their day, or possibly forever. Who can say.

Not to be a video game music nerd but the fact that Mary Elizabeth McGlynn’s Love Psalm rendition isn’t available on Spotify is criminal.  Theft.  I’ve being thieved from.  Every time I have to settle for the instrumental version I feel the thievery.

My current research prof dude does not seem to understand that we are under a very strict word count limit for the abstract I’m trying to submit in a week and every time I try to bring our word count down he’ll go in and be like “I liked your edits and made some myself too :)” and then we’re fifteen words higher than we were before I touched it to begin with.  Now I know how all of my teachers have felt while editing my papers in the past.  This is a nightmare (hyperbole, I know it will all turn out fine), made worse by the fact that I have to defer to this guy because he theoretically knows what he’s doing (he’s done this plenty of times before, I’m just impatient).

I take a bit of tongue-in-cheek pride (as in no pride at all, I just think it’s a funny thing to share) at the fact that I don’t really seek out fanfiction to read but every once in a while I do experience that sin of temptation and this month’s temptation is “Bones in the Ocean” an apparent pirate-Technoblade fic on ao3 and oh boy oh man I just I don’t don’t know anything more but that premise has very nearly got me hooked.

This is the first semester I’m on campus and I’m not doing a vocal solo audition.  Kinda wild that I’ve been so consistent, now that I think about it.  But there aren’t any fun belty-lady solos this semester, and I also don’t have the mental, physical, emotional, or intellectual constitution to focus on a whole additional part this semester.  I just... cannot.  I still... can’t help but feel like I’m missing out on something (there’s a tenor solo in that lovely part of my range which I heavily considered).  But I need to be focused this semester.

Today I’m thankful once again for one-class Mondays.  I’m also thankful for Rhett and Link.  Re-re-discovering Good Mythical Morning (I’m serious, this is like the third time I’ve picked the show back up) has been such a positively joyful experience these past few weeks.  They’re silly and they make me smile and laugh which is important as 1. the weather changes and my mood tends to change with it and 2. I begin another application cycle (I have sent out seven emails and received three replies and it’s driving me nuts [edit, next day: four now lol]) and my stress levels soar.

John Green made a tiktok about how good it felt for him to delete a few tiktoks from his account and he was contemplating aloud how it might feel to delete his account entirely and honestly, John?  Same.

Let's start off with some basics. Cool, I haven’t started off a survey with basics in a while. What's your name? Robyn, but y’all who have stuck around for a while know that already. How old are you? 21. What's your hair and eye color? Hair’s black, eye color’s dark brown/black-ish. How tall are you? I’m pretty certain I’m 5′1. What's your relationship status? In one. Alright, enough of that. Let's move on to the random shit.

What's your favorite song? Uhhh at the moment it’s Sam Smith’s cover of Donna Summer’s I Feel Love. They did their own twist to it and it sounds incredible. It would probably take a bit to get used to in 2019, but once you warm up to the sound, the cover is just brilliant. What does that song mean? What is the message behind it? It’s a disco song, the lyrics just repeat for three straight minutes and is not supposed to be any deeper than ‘I feel love.’ Is it your favorite because you relate to it, or do you just like the beat? I love the beat, the sound, and what Sam offered to the song. Have any pets? If so, what are they and what's their names? Yes, I have a cute Santa Claus-outfit-wearing dog at the moment :)) His name is Kimi. Have you ever met your idol? I have never met Kristen Stewart, AJ Lee, Hayley Williams, nor Beyoncé. And I’d most likely pass even if there was a chance to meet any of them; I’m too afraid that I’d mess up in front of them. If so, were they nice or were they kind of an ass? What's your favorite method of gaming? (PC, Xbox, Playstation, etc) I don’t play a lot myself but I do enjoy watching games on Nintendo or Playstation consoles. If you're in college, what's your major and why did you pick it? I’m in journalism. I picked it because I thought it’s what I wanted to pursue back in high school. I was good at writing and loved telling stories, the obvious path was towards journ so I don’t hate myself or regret picking such a major. But through the years I’ve learned to hate it more and more though – my interests lie within public relations and advertising now, a complete 180 from the world of journalism. How're you doing today? A little too early to be asking that, it’s 7:43 in the morning. I do feel quite nice because classes ended up being suspended today due to the incoming typhoon, but otherwise it’s just mostly meh for now. What color are your bedroom walls? They’re white. Describe your favorite shirt. Right now my favorite shirt is a halter tank top I got for ₱50 at a small tiangge booth in Feliz, hahaha. I just wish I could wear it everyday without anyone judging because I look cute in it. Use this space to tell someone off. I don’t think anyone I know deserves that at the moment. What's your view on smart watches? Cool or a waste of money? Waste of money, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting one lmao. What is one poster that you have hanging on your bedroom wall of? I still have that damn poster of Nam Joo Hyuk up near my bed lol. I haven’t seen a k-drama since 2017, but I’m just too lazy to take it down. How many times have you moved in your life? That I can remember? Two. I think we moved a couple times more when I was an infant. If you moved, do you like where you are now better than where you were? It’s definitely more peaceful, quiet, and much much cleaner in our house; but there are days where I still miss having my cousins and grandma under the same roof. What's your favorite color and why? Pastel pink. It’s pleasant to the eyes and looks good on most stuff. My wallet,  purse, main school notebook, one of my highlighters, my phone case, clipboard, backpack, and shoulder bag are all that color hahahaha Do you have a calendar? If so, what's the theme? I have one on my phone; I don’t really need a physical one. No theme because I don’t think my phone allows me to customize my calendar anyway. Have any famous person's autographs? I have AJ’s from a signed poster that I bought like 5-6 years ago from WWEShop. Was never actually sure if she actually signed it but it’s always easier to believe that. Do you draw well? That’s the worst thing I can do, or try to do at that. What type of cell phone do you have? I have an iPhone 8. Should you be doing anything else right now or are you just bored? I am actually supposed to be working on final requirements, but they’re all for my newspaper layout class and I cannot be ASSED to open Adobe InDesign and work on some dumb layout stuff right now. If you're in school/college, what's your favorite subject and why? This semester my favorite class is Kasaysayan 117, or Social History of the Philippines (‘Kasaysayan’ means history in Filipino). Social history veers away from the typical elite/heroes/war/colonization/what have you narratives that history books typically go with, and focuses instead on the developments of, say, gender, education, illnesses, and religion in the country. It basically focuses on the everyday life of the ordinary citizen, which I find more interesting and relatable than war stories. I certainly wish I can take this class more than once. Are you a cat or a dog person? Why? Dog person. They’re friendly and sweet and silly and will always stay by your side, which I love. I have never been able to connect with cats and finally at one point, trying just tired me out completely lmao HISS at me then, sis Tell me about the plot of your favorite book. Not my favorite, but definitely a memorable one – Scarlett O’Hara is in love with some dude named Leslie who’s married to his first cousin. Scarlett ends up gunning after him for a good chunk of time, even as she marries Rich Guy Rhett Butler and has a kid with him. Eventually [spoiler] kid dies and Rhett realizes Scarlett never cared for her just as Scarlett realizes she loves Rhett. Not a good ending for Scarlett. Bunch of people die. Oh and all of this takes place during the Civil War. Do you wear glasses or contacts? Glasses. I flinch at the idea of putting anything anywhere near my eye, so contacts are a no-no for me. What do you think about horror movies? It’s a hit or miss most of the time. Great genre with some even greater hits, though. If you love them (I do), what's your favorite? Misery or The Shining. Cliché picks, but I personally enjoyed both so why not. Got any cool Christmas presents picked out for family or friends yet? I dunno about ‘cool’ but I got Gabie a Hydro Flask water bottle and I’m SO excited for her to get it because she’s always been envious of mine and she’s always talking about wanting one because water tastes so crisp and fresh from those bottles. It’s kind of a bittersweet story for me though – I lost my own Hydro Flask a day after I got hers. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Do you do Black Friday shopping or wait for Cyber Monday? I do neither of those things because I’m from the Philippines and we have no idea what those holidays(?) mean. Have any mental illnesses? I’m sure I do, I just have never gotten myself checked. What's your favorite word and why? I’m not really obsessed with any right now. What is the most expensive thing you own, and what is it? It’s either my laptop or my phone...I’m not sure how much they were; my parents paid for both. Although I’m guessing the phone cost more because it was the newest in the iPhone line at the time of their purchase. Did you buy that item yourself? Hahahaha, nope. Super grateful to my parents for getting it for me despite knowing I have the tendency to crack and break all the phones I own. This current one is staying strong, though! Where do you work and what is your postion? I don’t have a job yet but I’m part of two organizations in college, if that counts. I’m the vice president for external affairs in my journalism org and associate editor in our graduating batch’s yearbook club. How often do you cuss? Probably once every few hours? Definitely way less than when I was an angsty, feisty, annoying little teenager lmao. What type of car do you drive, if any? I have a Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback. Are you happy with it? If no, what's your dream car? I’m happy with it; it’s small, convenient, and easy to drive. My dream car is something just as small but a little more fancy, so I’m wishing for a Mini haha. Do you have a lot of social media accounts? Which ones? Nah I just have three main ones – Twitter, Facebook, and this Tumblr. I’ve made accounts on other apps like Snapchat and Instagram, but I stopped using the former and I never use the latter. What is your favorite genre of music? I don’t have one. Does your family have holiday traditions? If so, what are they? It’s not a unique tradition but we go to my grand-aunt’s house and we do Monito-Monita, which is essentially a Filipino Secret Santa. We fix ourselves in a circle and when you’re It, you have to dance/walk/prance around with your gift while everyone sings the monito-monita song (which I’m too lazy to expound on, lol). When the song ends, you have to hand your ‘baby’ their gift. If you're in a relationship, are you happy with it? Yes. How long have you been with your significant other? Three years, but that’ll change to four by February. Do you like psychology? (It's my college major). I love it. It’s one of my the-one-that-got-away courses, along with history. I wanted to have a glimpse of psych by taking a psychology elective once, but I got a bad prof and never got in the mood to take another elective again, so that’s a shame. What is something your state is popularly known for? We don’t have states, we just have provinces and cities. Antipolo is known for their delicacies such as kasoy, suman, and latik. Do you like to do craft projects? If so, what's the coolest thing you made? Kind of? I don’t like anything I have to sculpt or mold myself; but lately I’ve been into paint-by-number kits and I asked Gab to get me a couple of them as a Christmas gift. It’ll help with my seasonal depression, so I’m excited to be preoccupied during the holiday break. Do you watch sports or do you think they're overrated? I don’t think they’re overrated. I just don’t find most of them interesting to watch. What's one occupation you think gets paid too much and doesn't deserve to? TROLLS Do you straighten your hair? No. Ever dyed your hair a color that isn't natural? (blue, pink, etc) I haven’t dyed it at all. How's your relationship with your parents? We have a best friends-type of relationship in that we banter and not opposed to insulting each other and cursing in front of one another, but I don’t let them know me any deeper than surface-level. The angst and trauma I developed due to my mom being horrid to me when I was younger permanently kept me from ever desiring a soft, emotional, intimate bond with her. And as for my dad, well he’s worked overseas all my life and I only get to see him once or twice a year, so it’s easy to understand why I have not developed a super super SUPER close bond with him as well. Do you still live with them or do you have your own house? I live with them but I’d love to have my own place soon. What's something you are currently saving money for to buy? More Christmas gifts for loved ones. I’ve only bought gifts for my girlfriend so far. Do you smoke/vape? If so, what brand do you smoke/what device do you use? I vape, but don’t smoke. Gab gave me her vape pen which is from a brand named Smok, because she soon learned after vaping a few times that she’s asthmatic. :( I do get disposable vape pens from Vedfun which I honestly prefer more, though. Ever done drugs? Other than painkillers, no. Tell me one of your worst habits. Letting myself go hungry because I’m a little obsessed with the thought of saving money. What's a weird quirk you have that no one else you know does? I have to lock my car doors three times in a row before I feel entirely secure. If you game, what type of headset do you use? What type of computer do you own, and do you like it? I have a Macbook Air, and I love it. What's the thing that annoys you the most? Metro Manila traffic. What brand of TV do you have? All of our TVs are Samsung, I think. Are you excited for Christmas? (It's December 1st today when I made this) I can take it or leave it. Tell me about your favorite vacation you've taken. Sagada x Baguio last 2014. I was hurting a lot that time because of recent shitty events that all happened to me, but the climate, the nature, and the peace and quiet allowed me to recharge and let everything out. It helped that there was a movie that had just come out then called That Thing Called Tadhana (Fate) wherein the lead girl was going through the same stuff I did, then she took a bus trip to Sagada, stood on top of a cliff, and yelled and cried her heart out. I set out to do the same (I didn’t scream though, just cry haha) and it was a good release. I’ll never forget that trip because I had never been more in touch with myself and allowed myself to be that raw until that week.

Tell me something cool about yourself. [continued all the way from 7 AM because I just got lazy for the rest of the morning. It’s now 4:41 PM.] Anyone outside of pro wrestling will probably not find this cool but I’ve been acknowledged by all three of my all-time favorite female figures in the industry (retweeted by AJ Lee, followed by Natalya, greeted happy birthday by Stephanie McMahon). All three are memories I’ll cherish forever. Did/do you get good grades in school/college? Not so much in grade school, because I was admittedly irresponsible and my elders didn’t pay much attention to my study habits, either. I got better in high school, but I still made sure not to tire myself out because I knew the grades I’d get then literally wouldn’t matter in college. Now that I’m in college and for once the grades DO matter, I’m working 15 times as hard and getting good grades throughout. What's your ringtone on your phone? They’re all ringtones provided by Apple. What's your favorite store to shop in? For clothes, independent stores would do. They can sell a tank top for ₱50 (1 USD) that I would otherwise find in H&M for like, ₱299 (6 USD) lmao. If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would buy and why? I’d pay off my parents’ various purchases like our house and cars so that the guilt doesn’t eat me up when I treat myself. How long have you had a Bzoink account? I don’t have a Bzoink account, but I’ve been using it to find surveys since 2008. My survey habit started veeeeery early, y’all.

Ever been to Field of Screams? If so, what's your favorite attraction? I have not. I’m not even sure I know what that is. Do you own a Polaroid camera? I don’t. Do you have hardwood floor in your room or carpet? Hardwood. It's a Saturday night, what are you typically doing? Taking surveys or catching up with work. Do you have a lot of friends or do you not have any at all? I have a lot, fortunately. College taught me to open up my circle. What's your all time favorite movie and why? Two for the Road. It just clicks with me. Audrey and Albert very both very passionate in their roles and their tandem worked amazingly to bring the story to life.

How many blankets do you sleep with at night? Just one. What's the last TV show you watched? Did you enjoy it? Queer Eye; I made Gab watch the Jones Bar-B-Q episode which is usually cited as one of the best of the series. I loved watching it the second time. Do you prefer cable TV or do you use Netflix? I use Netflix; I haven’t tuned in to cable TV for a good 4-5 years maybe. What is your dream job and why? Working somewhere in WWE. That company’s been a part of my life for...welp, my whole life. A part of me just feels as though I HAVE to end up there. Do you think you would be a good therapist? I know I’m a good listener and that I can read body language and signals quite well, but I don’t think I’d want people to dump their burdens and rants on me. What's your favorite brand of clothing? H&M. Did you like this survey? Sure!

Another Me, Chapter 9

Word Count: 2029 Rating: PG-13 Warnings: None Summary: This time, Rhett was really going to do it. He had tried maybe a thousand times over the past thirty-odd years to tell Link how he really felt, but this time he was finally going to actually succeed. At least, that was the plan, but when another version of the six-foot seven bearded internetainer appears out of nowhere during their weekend getaway, Rhett’s carefully laid plans are quickly pushed aside. Notes: AU, Present day, Rhett and Link aren’t married

“Uh, yeah.” Link backed up, motioning for Rhett’s duplicate to come on in. “Of course.” He ran his fingers through his hair, unconsciously making sure it was sitting right, as Rhett stepped past him into the room.

“I didn’t mean to wake you,” he began, second-guessing coming here in the first place.

“No, no, it’s fine,” Link assured him, looking around to make sure the room wasn't too messy. Of course, it wasn’t. “I was just reading,” he lied. “What’s up?”

“I still don’t know how I got here,” Rhett began, running his fingers through his own hair out of habit. “It’s almost like my universe spat me out because I didn’t fit there anymore. Tomorrow we’re going to try to get me back home and I just���” He paused, looking at Link with sad, green eyes.

“Come here,” Link offered, Moving over to the matching beds and sitting down on the nearest one. He placed a hand on the bed beside him as a casual invitation. Grateful, Rhett sat on the edge of the bed next to him and let out a shaky breath.

“Today was the best day I’ve had in years,” he began. “And I’m afraid that, in going back to my universe, my real life, I’m going to have missed a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

“What do you mean?” They were sitting so close. Not any closer than Link would have to his Rhett, but for the first time he could smell this Rhett. They smelled almost as similar as they looked.

“To get into the mind of Link! My Link, you know what I’m saying?” Link nodded, understanding completely, and ignored the tiny flutter of his heart when he heard Rhett’s voice say ‘my Link’. Sure it only meant the Link from the other universe, but he’d never heard Rhett use those words together like that, and it was… endearing. “I want to get into his head, understand him better, and who better to ask than his duplicate?”

“Well,” Link shrugged. “Here I am. What do you want to know?” He didn’t see any harm. After all, he never kept any secrets from the Rhett from his universe.

“You dated Missy, in college, right?” A strange place to start but Link didn’t question it. He nodded; he had dated Missy in high school and freshman year of college. It drove Rhett crazy when he would spend hours talking to her on the phone. Plus he didn’t think Link should have continued to date a girl that was still in high school, even if their ages were so close. “My Link, too. Did you date anyone after her? Anyone since?”

“Um.” Link had to really think about it, but not because he didn’t know right away. His first instinct was to say no, but that immediately bothered him. Really? No one? He strained his memory. It was about twenty years ago; surely there had to be somebody… but there wasn’t one. “I guess I’ve been too busy.”

“My Link would say much the same,” Rhett noted with a subtle sigh.

“What about you?” Link nervously asked, scared of the answer.

“Nothing serious,” came the vague reply. “Never really cared for anything serious.”

“Did you ever tell your Link about who you were dating?” The question fell from Link’s lips before he could stop it. He wasn’t sure why he cared, but all of a sudden he really did.

“I never made a point of it,” Rhett admitted, shame creeping up on his face. “Did your Rhett?”

“No, he didn’t,” Link admitted, sadly. “And I know he’s had girlfriends. I know he’s seen people in the past. He’s been dating woman off and on for the past few years, right? But the thing is, he never tells me about them, or introduces me to them. That’s weird, right?”

“Maybe he just didn’t feel like he could tell you…” Rhett began, but Link wasn’t listening anymore.

“I don’t even know, man,” he fumed. “I guess I’m just feeling like…” ‘Like I don’t know Rhett as well I as I thought I did.’ “Like…” He started again. “I just don’t want him to think he can’t talk to me about… things. He never hid his girlfriends from me before. Just like I’ve never had to hide my girlfriends from him.” After all, they had shared the same girlfriend, kissed the same girls in high school (not at the same time, of course) and ever since then they never had to hide even their crushes from each other. What changed?

“But you haven’t had any girlfriends to talk about,” Rhett countered, remaining remarkably calm. “Not for awhile, you said so yourself. Not since college.” Link didn’t have an answer for that. To be honest it wasn’t his business who Rhett dated, not really. He was just used to his best friend of over thirty years telling him everything, even about his girlfriends. If Link was dating someone he would tell Rhett for sure.

“But if I had I would tell him,” Link finally replied, much quieter than before. “Why wouldn’t he tell me?” Rhett hesitated before answering. It wasn’t his place to answer the questions about the Rhett who was actually from his universe, but he couldn’t leave Link without answers. He couldn’t sit here and ignore the forlorn face before him.

“Maybe he was afraid to tell you,” he whispered, hoping perhaps that Link didn’t hear him, but Link’s ears were keen and he turned his head sharply, a confused look on his face.

“What would he be afraid of? That I wouldn't like them? I don’t care who he dates.” A sharp pain through his heart told him that was a lie. “He was never afraid in the past. Every girl he ever dated in school I knew about. I knew most of them…”

“I shouldn’t speak for your Rhett. After all the last few years have actually been different for our universes, at least where my Link and I are concerned. So, I have no idea who your Rhett has been dating.”

“What happened in your universe?” Link wondered, switching gears slightly. “What happened that changed our universe from yours?” He sighed, frustrated but growing too tired to fight his frustrations. “Up until a few years ago they were identical. I can’t believe that the only difference was view count and that created the split.”

Link wondered; Rhett knew.

~ ~ ~

It was a hot day in the fall of 2015, Rhett and Link were doing a series of videos sponsored by Geico, and this time they were visiting Mike’s Animal Auction in Mira Loma, California. They, along with a small filming crew, had spent more than half a day at the place, collecting footage and shooting the episode, and it had been a fairly pleasant experience so far. Rhett had shone an aptitude for fast talking while Link was doing a good job of being a bit silly about it. He wasn’t sour about it, though. Besides, he couldn’t be in a bad mood after he managed to buy a very lovely horse table earlier.

“You really gonna put that in your house?” Rhett had asked him.

“Of course!” came his smiling response. He really did love the table, though he did acknowledge it wasn’t what one would usually find in a thirty-seven year-old’s bachelor pad. He didn’t care and when Link was happy, Rhett was happy.

Later in the day the two of them were going to put their newly-honed auctioning skills to the test with a genuine auction. They had to look the part, as Mike himself told them, so they changed into what they saw as appropriate attire. Well, appropriate for two internetainers posing as auctioneers. That meant cowboy boots, hats, and yellow cowboy shirts. They looked a bit more like rodeo clowns then real cowboys but it seemed to suit them just fine.

After selling a couple of goats, they ran out of things to auction. Rhett, of course, continued talking at top speed and turned to what he knew best: comedy. Still using his auctioneer’s voice he motioned to his best friend, Link, and continued to auction.

“We’re gonna take a break from the goats real quick,” he was saying. “We’re gonna bid this man off, right here.” He didn’t stop there, letting his comedian side take over. “You can win a date with this man, right here.” Link paused for a moment, confused, but he was a born comedian as well and saw the levity of where Rhett was going. Stepping forward he posed for the crowd, bowing and then doing a little jig while Rhett continued the bit. “We’re gonna start at seventeen dollars,” Rhett continued. “Seventeen dollars. Anybody want a date with this man? Seventeen dollars. Look at him! The famous Link!”

Despite Link’s performance, and Rhett’s enthusiasm, no one got the joke and the bidders were silent. Hoping to save the joke, Rhett took a chance and switched tactics.

“Okay, I bid seventeen,” he said, still talking fast. “I have seventeen to me, anyone wanna give me twenty? Twenty dollars for a date with Link Neal.” A steal, if Rhett ever heard one. Now Link was even more confused, and blushing slightly, but he didn’t stop acting. Holding out his arms he gave the crowd a slow spin, showing himself off like a showpiece. Still no bidders and from the look at the real auctioneer’s faces, the bit was getting old. “Seventeen going once!” Rhett finally announced. “Going twice! Sold! To me for seventeen dollars.” That got a few laughs, but they may have been just polite. “Don’t worry Link,” he continued. “I’ll cut the check later.”

And that was that. The day progressed normally, finishing the shoot before packing up to head back to Burbank before the sun could even set. Rhett and Link drove off in their company car, the FJ cruiser, while the crew had their own van to house them and most of the equipment. It was nice to have some peace and quiet after the long day of hectic crowds and noisy animals. Rhett let out an audible sigh of relief as the car pulled onto the highway.

“We’re not really going on date,” Link whispered, after a few minutes. “Are we?” Rhett had dreaded this conversation since he realized what he had done during the auction, after it had really settled into his mind. It had just been for comedy’s sake but then he started to think.

“You’re not gonna back out on me, now,” he replied, still trying to play it off as a joke. Even though he wanted nothing more in the world than to go on a date with Link, he didn’t want to scare him away. Maybe once they were at a restaurant... “I paid good money to go on a date with you.” Link glanced across the seat to his friend. He couldn’t be serious and his smile didn’t give any sign of what really lay beneath.

“What, like, dinner and a movie?” he wondered. It wasn’t like they hadn’t been to a movie together before, or had dinner together either, but they had always gone as friends. A date had other connotations.

“If you like,” Rhett shrugged. He didn’t really care what they did. “My treat,” he added, knowing Link’s next complaint. “We’ll make it a whole date night out of it.” The way he said it Link had to think he was just fooling around, and he never minded just hanging out with Rhett, especially when he didn’t have to spend a dime.

“Okay,” he relented, turned to look back out his car window. “As long as you’re buying,” he quipped with a smile. Rhett grinned broader, knowing Link had sort of agreed to go on a date with him. He immediately began planning what movie they would see, what restaurant they would go to. He wanted to make sure it was a real and proper date, as Link well deserved. Maybe if things went well -and he dearly hoped they did- then he could finally tell Link how he really felt.

Why Link left Buz... - GMM?

I've been going through some unpleasant October Monday feels with a hint of a headache today, but watching GMM cured most of my problems. I'll find some meds for my head in a bit.

So, I saw the thumbnail for today's episode, and despite realizing very quickly it was a clickbait, I think something inside me cracked a little. It was an irrational, involuntary reaction. There is a distinct difference between a "Why I left Buzzfeed" video and "Why I left GMM". Buzzfeed does not crack anything in me. Also, I click anything with Link's face on it, even with a bad title. I was hooked on mythicality a long time ago.

So, I think I fit somewhere between Link's "never fall for clickbait" and Rhett's "click on everything" views on online surfing. I go on clickbait binges every now and then, and just follow a link after another until I hit the one about celebrities who've aged badly with a photo of a random celebrity next to a photo of a person with a shrunken head claiming to be them, and I realize I've gone to the no-actual-content part of the internet. Never been hacked though. But most times I try to stick to actual informative articles instead.

So, out of the very clickbait-like titles on today's quiz, I actually had clicked on the one with the grass matress, and that opossum thing sounded familiar, too. But I would definately been forced to eat the bait with these, because I got most of them wrong. Good to know the thing about pickles, I love pickled cucumbers, and now I have a reason to eat them regularly.

I think Rhett's confession in GMMore about wasting 70 percent of company time on clickbait was just so adorable - he sounded so sincere, and Link's reaction was equally priceless. I absolutely adore Rhett's rule of clicking through seven minutes in heaven, until you find malware.

Poor Link had to eat the cod liver. At one time years ago, before going vegetarian, I tried to take a fish oil capsule every day. My breath smelled like dried fish all day, and it was horrible. So, good job, Link, getting that down.

I think I'll spend the rest of this day in a horizontal position trying to get rid of my headache. I loved the relaxed mood of today's episode, and especially the silly conversation on More. But now I'm off to find a migraine tablett...

Didn't they look cute today?

   i fucking always do.  about everything. have you ever had a serious mental break down?   you know, like, every week. how long was your longest relationship?   three and a half years did you ever honestly believe you were going to marry your high school boyfriend/girlfriend?   yes.  i did.  i still refuse to believe i won't.  he was my favorite person, and still is.  but what happens when you're breaking down your fp, entirely inadvertently, while they're building you up?  ka-boom.  i guess that's just what i did to him. are you a virgin? do you believe virginity is “sacred”?   i am, and yes, it is.  i refuse to just give it up to any 'ole body. what’s a song you recently discovered that you want to tell everyone about?   "breakdown" by seether.  i wonder  if it's how jason feels towards me. does the last person you kissed have freckles?   no, he doesn't. assuming you’re in love or have been in love before, how does or did it make you feel?   on top of the world.  that first realization that i was in love with him... it was like being born again.  but in a new dimension.  stick with me here.  i was in a new world where nothing could hurt me, because he was my shield, and i was also his.  we were one.  partners.  two names, one soul.  he was the reason i could rest, because his eyes were open while i slept.  i could reveal myself to him, because his heart and mind were opened.  he took all that shit and crushed it beneath his heel, though, so i guess it doesn't really matter. in school, what subjects did you achieve your highest grades in?   usually english or science. what’s the age difference between yourself and your best friend?   less than a year. has someone close to you ever told you they were going to commit suicide because of you?   oh my god, no.  i'd die. do you like opossums? do you think it is ethically right for others to keep opossums as pets?   i LOVE opossums!  they're so cute!  as for if it's ethically right to keep them as pets, i'm honestly not sure as i'm not well-educated on what they would require as a house animal.  i mean i certainly wouldn't agree with someone taking them out of their natural habitat to be a pet, but i guess i'd be fine with someone raising an abandoned opossum baby, so long they gave them the care necessary. what is your favorite unhealthy drink that you like to consume (if you have one, that is)?   mountain dew, the voltage variety being my favorite.  i know it's wiiiildly bad for you, but omg i love it. what are your thoughts on nihilism?   it's rather sad, and can also be so dangerous if you truly believe nothing has meaning/nothing matters. when and where was the last time you were or felt lost?   daily???  i haven't mentally felt like i'm "home" for a long, loooong time. has a tree ever fallen down on your house? 
  two or three times, lmao.  oh wait no, one of those times is where it fell on the propane tank beside our house (it didn't explode, it was literally inches from the top of it, though).  the only time i clearly remember a tree falling on the house is when the tree collapsed literally on top of my room, and i slept through it.  dad had to saw the tree multiple times to get it off the house, and we had to get some leaks patched. do you know anyone that actually looks good wearing bright red lip stick?   i don't think i look too bad with it. if you were poor, living on the streets, & had no family to aid you, would you take up a job offer to work in a slaughterhouse?   i... maybe.  living on the streets has to be a literal nightmare, so i doubt a slaughterhouse would be much worse... but killing animals, i would literally cry on a daily basis.  i don't know if i could do it. do you feel sorry for the people who get killed by their pets [some people own / tend to monkeys, tigers, lions, snakes, etc. & get killed by them] or do you think they had it coming?   i mean i would never not feel sorry for someone who died, but at the same time, i would agree it to be foolish to keep a dangerous animal. whose facebook password do you have?   no one's but my own. have you ever wanted to strip naked in front of someone?   and i did. how often do you go to church?   i try to go with colleen every weekend now.  she's just been really sick lately, so we haven't been going. speaking of church, are you going to heaven or hell?   ... i don't know anymore.  like, i accept jesus as my lord and savior, etc., but i feel so wicked sometimes.  like... i wish death upon someone i don't know.  i love someone more than i do god and jesus.  i've been furious with god lately.  heaven probably doesn't want me. would you date/hook up with your brother’s best friend?   no, he'd be too old for me personally. have you ever wondered what it’s like to have sex on a trampoline?   well.  hot damn.  there's another one on my bucket list lmao. what is the weirdest music video you’ve ever seen?   hmm.  not sure. what is something of which you need more in your life?   social interaction.  i'm an introvert and all, but i don't have enough company throughout my days. do you enjoy talking about music with others?   YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS I WILL TALK FOR HOURS what are the color of your walls? do you want to repaint?   boring white/beige/whatever.  i'd like to repaint, sure, but this house is rented, not owned, so we can't. do you have any siblings who neglect you?   ... i feel that way, yeah.  my older half-siblings i don't feel that way, 'cuz they live forever away and have busy, adult lives, and even ashley is very busy, but nicole, who lives with me... i feel like she doesn't care.  she's never home and acts like she lives with her good-for-nothing boyfriend, and when she is here, she doesn't talk to me.  doesn't look at me.  never says a word to me, even when she knows i need comfort.  she doesn't interact with me period unless i initiate conversation.  i just.  feel like when she/me/we move out, we'll never talk again.  i don't want to lose my little sister. what were the last three movies you watched in theaters?   "trolls," "the jungle book," and uhhh... i'm not sure. do you believe in ghosts, spirits or demons?   spirits/ghosts/whatever have you, demons, and angels. did your parents ever let you play in the pits of those multicolored balls?

  not much at all...  sat on the computer.  talked to a couple online friends.  talked with colleen.  cried a lot. something you really want right now?   honestly all i want is to cuddle with j right now.  underneath a big, fleecy blanket, and just watch our old, favorite shows. do you look more like your mom or your dad?   debatable.  i've heard both. describe your looks to us:   i am 5'4'', white and very pale, overweight with my weight pretty evenly distributed, i have lithe hands with long fingers and very small toes.  i have blue eyes that sometimes look more greenish or grayish.  my ears are pierced multiple times, as well as my nose.  i have three tattoos.  my hair just reaches my breasts and is ruby-red in coloration.  how i dress varies greatly. could you forgive a boyfriend or friend who physically hurt you?   no, fuck you. are you afraid of death?   i am.  i'm most concerned about how badly it'll hurt/how i'll die. do you think you’ll be one of those people that will get a divorce in the future?   no, because i'd literally refuse to leave my spouse unless he became dangerous. last person you kissed on the lips said that you were the only one they wanted, would you believe them?   if he leaves his current girlfriend, sure. are thongs sexy?   not to me... but then again, i'm not attracted to feminine garb. is penetration important to you?   considering i was fine doing purely foreplay with jason/having no penal-vaginal penetration, no, it's not very important. what is your sexuality?   i am heterosexual, but have some asexual tendencies, ex. i am not physically attracted to male genitalia. do you prefer long or short hair on the opposite sex?   long is fucking sexy. would you rather have 10 siblings or be an only?   ten.  that'd be cool. what is your opinion on legalizing drugs?   it's fucking stupid to even mildly consider it.  i know a lot of people think it will lessen crime with drugs, but ha, i HIGHLY doubt it.  besides that, why legalize something dangerous?  murder's wrong, should we legalize that shit, too?  and i mean, we already have enough controversy over things like cigarettes and alcohol, two very dangerous things, why add another to the mix? do you drink coffee on a regular basis?   no, i hate coffee. do you like country music?   no, i don't.  it's very rare that once in a while i'll hear a song i like, but it's seldom. are you afraid of black cats?   not at all. do you watch the lightning during storms?   omgggg yes what is the weirdest thing you have ever done with a crush or significant other?   i guess you could consider borderline fucking on a chaise in the open living room "weird?"  but shit was fun. do you shave your arms even though it supposedly grows back thick?   i shave my underarms, not my arms. do you ever get too lazy to clean up your pet’s pee and leave it for your parents to do it?   no, if teddy pees, i clean it up. what insects or bugs do you fear most?

  no, but that'd be soooo fun! :( what moment in your life have you been most scared?   those first moments after jason told me it was over.  the moment i told mom, "jason broke up with me," because it was my true acknowledgment that it was over.  can you imagine how it'd feel like to be skinned alive?  to have all your flesh ripped away, leaving you bare and vulnerable?  that's what it felt like. do movies such as ‘saw’ and ‘the grudge’ scare you easily?   "the grudge" is a fucking awesome movie (think i've only seen the second, tho), but i'm not a "saw" fan.  i just... eh, they're too bloody.  to an exaggerated degree.  and i don't like seeing people so scared. do you have an ipod? how many songs are on it?   yes, and over 1,000.  i sometimes have to delete songs to make room for more. how do you get to school?   i'm not in school anymore, but when i was, mom always drove me there. would you ever consider adopting a child with a severe mental illness?   i don't really want to adopt period, but i don't know if hypothetically i would, but merely for the child's own well-being.  i am seriously mentally ill, and because of this, i don't really know if i'm capable of raising said child in a completely healthy environment. gas prices...first thought?   lower than they used to be, at least.  i remember when they were over $4.00 favorite non sexual thing to do with girl/boy?   play two-player video games together. :D
