Smoke and Mirrors is a completed work.

My cowriter @tripwirealarm, a human who is not myself, and I would like to say thank you to those who've been following along and leaving comments along the way. We hope you enjoy the last chapter!

I'll speak for myself and say, it's really been meaningful for me to see folks sharing about what this story means to them. In the end, we wrote this for us, because it was what we wanted to read, but I'm glad to see it was something y'all wanted to read, too.

Without further a-boo, read chapter 14 HERE.

Or go back to the start with chapter 1 HERE.

Smoke and Mirrors, Chapter 10!

This chapter is spicy as hell. Be warned. Don't be reading this at work.

Read chapter 10 here!

Greetings you filthy little rats.

“What’s this blog?” You may ask

“Why, it’s the repository for all my ships that I can’t post on my normal blog!” I would say

“Well why can’t you post them there?” You might reply

“Because these ships are apparently too scandalous for mortal eyes to view!!” I would respond “ For you see….They contain …..GASP

REAL PEOPLE!!!!!!!”

Yeah. That’s it. This blog is the dedicated dumping ground for my RPFs because I got sent a LITERAL DEATH THREAT for posting art of Shane and Ryan from Watcher making out. So it’s gonna live here now.

Typical rules: Minors DNI I’m nearly 32 and I have no filter, if you know my main blog no you don’t, I don’t role play; nothing against it I just don’t have the spoons, and because for some reason this still needs to be said; don’t show the real people the ship art posted here.

My name’s Oli, thanks for asking

Ships will be tagged here⬇️⬇️⬇️

Yuri = shyan

[mythicalshipping]

It was not my birthday yesterday, but it may as well have been because OH. MY. GOD.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 

*“All I Ever Wanted” by Basshunter starts playing*

Not spook twins ;-; FROM WATCHER ;-; 

LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT THEM LOOKING AT EACH OTHER. 

Shane looking like an “omg I can’t believe we look so much alike” twin-but-not-actually-twin/long lost twin cinematic moment from the 90s. 

“Because we look so much alike,” as Ryan said, but you can tell how delighted they both were. Even Link with his lil’ clasped hands. 

IS SHANE’S ARM STILL AROUND RYAN?!?! It also looks like he has his hand on Ryan’s arm but that might not be the case because we CANNOT TELL WITH THE GIANT SHIP BLOCKING MICROPHONE IN THE WAY. 

Ah yes, two tall men. Two trees. Two gentle giants. Rhett with his beard out here looking like Van Gogh and Shane’s hair out here looking like a cloud from A Starry Night. 

Greatness recognizing greatness ;-; Look how excited Link is as well. Ryan is too just not in this screenshot lmao

Ryan and Shane’s faces on the table like, “Mr. Demille, I’m ready for my cloche up.”  (Also low-key wondering if Cali Boy Bergara and Midwest Madej have ever been referred to as “fellers.” XD) 

Shane holding his elbow ;-; Do Ryan’s lil’ feeties even touch the floor? (I say, standing over here at 5′1 lmao). 

Look at Shane’s FACE here, chin in hand, like he’s admiring Ryan across the table at a French coffee shop JFC. 

Link is baby ;-; I would honestly spontaneously combust if they were to do some sort of horror gaming ep together (maybe VR?) 

Link can’t handle Ryan’s AYS narration voice, and it’s hard to tell if Rhett is looking at Ryan or Link or both. HARD TO TELL WHERE TO LOOK WITH THAT MUCH HOTNESS ON SET LIKE DAMMMNNNN.

Ryan pausing before saying “but” and Link jumping slightly when he does ;-; So baby

We need “What?” counter for Link lmao XD

Shane is so charmed by Ryan wtf. I can’t. They aren’t being subtle about anything anymore. (I mean, why would they on GMM where a lack of subtlety is intricately woven into the show like a Mythical Store blanket?)

Link trying to get on an episode of Buzzfeed: True Cr*me and Rhett looking at Link like he’s on an episode of Southern Fried H*micide. 

(OMFG PLEASE KNOW I AM JOKING). 

Awww look how amused they are by lil’ Shaney over there ;-; 

(Also with how I took these screenshots, it low-key looks like Ryan and Shane are peeking over a wall and staring at the audience like “omg, they can see us?!?!”)

Ryan is also so amused by lil’ Shaney ;-; He cannot hide how much he cares about people in his life and he smiles like the sun how do people EVEN around him JFC...

Ryan fully having a “That’s So Raven” moment (”That’s So Ryan”, if you will). 

The way Shane looks at Ryan when he says this, and then quickly shifts his gaze to Rhett and Link. 

Ryan taking everyone to therapy. Hozier’s new song “Take Me To Therapy.” If “Let’s Talk About That” was a therapy-based talk show. Dr. Phil has nothing on Ryan Bergara. 

Oh look a Shane leg and a Ryan leg. <3 

Shane, don’t mention the multiverse to Rhett, or all of us are going to end up having a 45 minute existential crisis over here. 

Ryan and Link’s faces here though <3 11/10

A LINK AND RYAN HIGH FIVE ;-; 

Ryan getting to rile someone else for once. 

Link fully making the Kermit the Frog Scrunch Face in reply. 

Not Ryan and Shane teasing each other and Rhett and Link looking on longingly like “awww they’re just like us.” ;-; 

Awww Link being scared by the last story ;-; <3

HEH. *insert b*ner joke here*

Omg not Link playfully pretending to hit Ryan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 

Tbh, the scariest part of this whole ep was Rhett saying this to Shane, knowing all of the things they eat on GMM...

Ryan is prepared to eat *ss and Rhett approves. 

Well, now we have a vague idea of what Shane would look like with black lipstick <3 

Lmao XD Link really said “Shane, what that mouth do.” 

I AM NOT CRYING YOU ARE CRYING ;-; 

[casperghosty]

all I could think about was:

"Are you hungry for some hole?" -Charles Lincoln Neal III, 2023

[paranormalbadboyfiles]

So

Y’ALL

ANOTHER WATCHER GMM CROSSOVER?!?! 

We start this episode with Daddy!Rhett yup sure okay nothing to see here (and also Shane touching Ryan’s shoulderrrrrrr). 

Dude, don’t get Shane started on cousins...

UGH LOOK HOW CLOSE THEY ARE SITTING. They’ve come so far from “two guys, just sittin’ in a tub, in their swim trunks ‘cause they’re not gay” to being so much more comfortable with each other and I JUST...BYE.

RHETT STOPS LINK FROM INJURING HIMSELF WITH THE KNIFE WITH A SINGLE FINGER ON HIS WRIST SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.

Someone needed to see these two side by side as well. (It’s me. I’m someone, but I also wanna know who the someone was that edited this). 

O.O

I’m sorry...you what now?

I seriously thought it was just me being my own filthy minded self during this scene until things...well...escalated lmao.

Ryan you are a man of chaos. 

...WHY WERE THEY ALL SO H*RNY?!?!

I can’t...this is literally like some sort of start to a cheesy film made for adults. Notice Rhett’s palm flat on Link’s arm. It was such a gentle push I’m--

...AM I EVEN ALLOWED TO BE WATCHING THIS ON YOUTUBE?!?! 

Ryan follows Rhett’s example, Shane pokes at the tip, and Link is too hot and bothered to take it so he turns away. 

RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF MY SALAD?!?!

I am looking (dis)respectfully. 

It’s the (quiet guitar music) for me tbh...

JEESUS Rhett. 

AND THAT LITTLE SMIRK AFTER. THE MAN KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING. 

...is this real life right now? I feel like I need to stick the B*razzers logo in the lower right corner next to the Watcher logo. 

THIS IS NOT EVEN AN EDIT, RHETT STARTED HIS SENTENCE OFF WITH THIS AND RYAN JUST BURST INTO LAUGHTER. THE MAN KNOWS. HE KNOWS. 

Wait, what? How did we get here? How did we get from the banana to the a*us? 

RHETT DON’T YOU MFING PRETEND THAT YOU DON’T HEAR THIS ISH ON THE DAILY ON GMM AND BTS SIR. DONT YOU EVEN PRETEND. YOU JUST WANT HIM TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE. I SEE YOU.

LINK. Pls stop gesturing at the dinner table. 

...

Sir, this is a Wendy’s. 

(Yeah they are the same caption ‘cause part of the sentence is a close up of Link gesturing, and the second pic is Link gesturing as he faces Internet Jesus and his faithful disciples). 

THE WAY RYAN IS JUST LEANING INTO SHANE AS IF IT IS NOTHING. I STG THE PERSON ON THE WATCHER CREW WHO WAS LIKE “LET’S GET THE SMALLEST TABLE WE CAN FOR TWO OF THE TALLEST GUYS ON THE INTERNET WHOSE WING SPAN COULD FILL AN ENTIRE AIRPLANE RUNWAY AND THEIR BUFF COMPANIONS WHO BASICALLY HAVE FREAKING BOULDERS ON THEIR ARMS.” 

(By the way, this screenshot leads into): 

Also I cannot tell if this is a lie or not because this is where we are in November in the year of our Lord in 2022 

EX

FREAKING

‘SCUSE ME. 

SHANE GOT HIS HOLLONDAISE SAUCE ON RYAN’S LAP. I--

HOW IS THIS--

THEY MAY AS WELL HAVE HAD ONE OF THEM WEARING SKIMPY OVERALLS WITH NO SHIRT, PRETENDING TO KNOCK ON THEIR FRONT DOOR, SAYING HE’S THE REPAIR MAN WHO HAS COME TO FILL IN THE CRACKS IN THEIR WALLS. 

I have never heard this phobia phrased this way. Did he need to phrase it that way? No, but the air was so thick with UST, that here we are. 

So this is Rhett’s solution to that. I just--

WHAT EVEN WAS THIS EPISODE Y’ALL.

Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like...this...I guess...

The name of their Just 4 Fans page. 

Oh, and if you were wondering about the one word Link chose to describe this dish? It was SUBTEXT. ONE HE IS LIKELY ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH. THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE. ON THE GHOST FILES PHONE.

And the final dish is just...okay then, we’re gonna go super blatant with this and try to ignore Shane talking about his love of mayo like some sort of Midwestern ambrosia salad making mom whose “Macaroni Madness” wins every year at the county fair. 

I mean tbf, that is the face the collective audience makes when we watch y’all but DANG Ryan you didn’t have to SAY IT in front of ALL OF OUR SALADS that you and Shane, and Rhett and Link are just off in your own LITTLE BUBBLES THAT HAVE RUBBED THEIR BUBBLY CHEEKS TOGETHER FOR THIS DOUBLE DATE OF AN EPISODE. 

Link’s word for the last dish. ;-; I JUST. I CANNOT. WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THIS SURPRISE GIFT THAT JUST FELL IN FRONT OF MY FEET ON MY YOUTUBE FEED LAST WEEK. 

[casperghosty]

my dash just Did That but also.......same energy

[cellard0ors]

For the curious - goal is to try and get latest chapter of Changing Seasons out by Saturday - I've been doing my damned best to try and update it at least once a week, but - y'know - life.

Also trying to estimate how long it'll be overall - normally I have a very clear outline but this one's a bit more...fuzzy.

I do know certain plot beats and where I want it to end, but narrowing it down to an exact number of chapters is vague in my brain - so, just - come with me on this journey, if you're willing and able.

*ೃ˚.·˙‧̍༅; a psa.

look, I was supposed to have an actually constructive meta up as my first real post on Tumblr but this was a more pressing matter. I have recently stumbled upon the rabbit hole that is RPF which is shipping real people together, more often than not in a sexual manner.

I don’t think this needs to be even said but please, maybe don’t ship real fucking people—that’s kind of gross and disgusting. I don’t know why people have to be told this—I don’t know why adults have to be told to not write smut of real, breathing, thinking individuals but it’s a thing that exists and it’s not okay.

I’m all for ship and let ship, I believe everyone has the right to ship whatever they want to but I draw the line in the sand at real people.

If any real people shippers want to run up on me, screeching about their right to ship anything they want to—just know that it is also people’s right to not have smutty fanfic written about them and their colleagues/friends/families. How would you guys feel if you checked your socials and saw smut of you? You’d be the first person screeching about the ‘impeachment on your rights’.

That’s all I had to say. If you are a real person shipper, please block me so I don’t have to see that shit or give me the information so I can block you because this is gross and I do not want to ever see it again.

I am scared to search my favourite celebrities because I know some weirdo will come rushing with fanfic or smutty rule34 and I throw a little in my mouth. Please, back the fuck away from me if you ship real people. You’re gross, very gross, go sit in the naughty corner.
