#shane madej please can we talk about your work i have so many thoughts and questions

[ciderjacks]

interesting how the overwhelming themes of both puppet history and hot daga are about coping with a catastrophic loss and the transition from bargaining to acceptance. actually i might be reading a bit too deep into the themes within the lore but whatever its still neat.

secretive (shane madej x reader)

requested by anon “Could you do a Shane Madej x reader where he thinks the reader is cheating on him with Ryan. Like they whisper things to eachother and stop when Shane enters the room, they text all the time and hang out without Shane a lot. He ends up snapping at the reader about it but it turns out they were actually planning a suprise for him.”

summary shane madej has never been an insecure guy. but when it comes to you, that side can come out to play.

gif cred belongs to @ryanbergara​

shane was rarely insecure. he had learned to become proud of who he is, lanky limbs and all. but of course, there was the occasional slip up--especially when it came to you.

when shane first met you, he was smitten. your dorky personality, stunning beauty, and unrelenting kindness drew him into you instantly, and he chased that feeling to the ends of the earth. and now, almost a year and a half into your relationship, he could honestly say that he has never been happier.

but of course, those pesky insecurities come out to play sometimes.

shane had volunteered to do coffee run that morning before filming unsolved. when he came back to the office where he had left you both, he saw you two sitting unbearably close at the desk, talking and smiling and ignoring everyone else in the room setting up for the shoot.

trying his best to brush it off, he entered the office and gave you both a smile. “caffeine time?”

you leaned away from ryan, clapping excitedly. “caffeine time!”

he gave a wide grin at your cheeriness and grabby hands, handing you the order he had memorized on your first date. 

you stood up from the desk and giggled, “you can have your seat back. i gotta get back to work.”

“alright, have fun,” shane smiled. you gave him a quick kiss before skipping off to your workplace. after shane settled in his seat with his coffee, he said to ryan as casually as he could, “what were the whispers about?”

ryan gave him an entirely unconvincing confused look. “what whispers?”

“between you and y/n,” shane explained, motioning to the door you had just exited through.

“i don’t know what you’re talking about,” ryan said, shaking his head at shane. before shane could press any further, you came back into the office.

“sorry,” you giggled. “forgot my phone.” you snatched off of the small table and then pointed to ryan with a serious expression. “text me, bergara.” and then you left, just as quickly as you had come.

ryan looked up from his prepared manila folder to the camera crew, not daring to glance at the unintentionally glaring shane, and spoke, “are we ready to roll?”

..

“who are you texting?” shane teased when he entered the living room to see you curled up, smiling at your phone.

“just ryan,” you shrugged. that didn’t sit right with shane.

“you two seem awfully close lately,” shane tried to comment nonchalantly. but if he implicated that anything was wrong in his tone, you didn’t notice. you just giggled as your phone buzzed with another text. shane took a sip of his tea with a frown.

after a while of smiling at your phone, you moved over to cuddle with shane as he watched a show on netflix.

you placed a kiss on his cheek as you draped yourself over him. “i love you.”

that did lighten his heart a bit. “i love you, too.”

..

ryan and shane got lunch together many days of the week. then he would come back to the office, pay you a visit in yours, and get back to work. but today, ryan had a different idea in mind.

“why don’t we eat with y/n today?” the shorter man proposed. that unsettled shane a bit. supernatural beings were nothing to him, but a guy taking invested interest in his girl friend as of late? that rattled him.

shane excused, “she’s usually busy during our lunch.. but we can check.” he shrugged. “no harm in that.” and though his thoughts betrayed his words, he led the way to your office.

you were on the phone when shane peeked in. you waved him in as you spoke, “it’s alright, lea.” you tapped your pencil against your desk as the boys filtered in. “yeah, just send it and we can edit and complete. it’s no problem. just relax and enjoy a day off, girl. of course. see you.” you hung up and gave the boys a smile.

“what was that about?” shane asked, coming closer to your desk to give you a quick kiss.

“was that the girl who hasn’t shown up for the past few days?” ryan asked, taking the seat across from your desk.

“yes,” you groaned. “im trying to be patient with her, she’s using some sick days so i can’t really get on her, but did she have to take off in the middle of this project?” you let out a huff.

shane was slightly bothered that ryan knew more about this than he did. but instead, he asked, “would it comfort you at all if we had lunch with you today? or is this girl taking up your schedule?”

you grasped his hand in yours. “please have lunch with me.” you reached out your hand to ryan, who laughed as he took it. you squeezed both of their hands, though shane’s lips were now tightly pursed. “this morning has been insane.”

“we got you,” ryan nodded with a grin that you returned sweetly. when you looked up at shane, he quickly changed his expression into a grin. he felt his jealousy rising second by second during the entire lunch.

..

shane had just walked into the breakroom to see you and ryan laughing as you poured yourself a cup of tea. “that’s actually not a bad idea, bergara. where’d you come up with that one?”

“i’ve got so much in this noggin, you don’t even know, l/n,” ryan responded easily, making you laugh again. shane still hadn’t been noticed, but he felt as if his heart was beating so loud that he surely would be.

“but yeah, shane stays late every thursday,” you continued, “so if you came over right after work, we should be able to get it all done and shane wouldn’t even know!”

“im a genius,” ryan praised.

“that you are,” you agreed, holding your cup out. he clinked his water bottle against it and you both turned to the door. shane was long gone.

..

you had stayed a little bit late that day, and so shane was stuck pacing your shared apartment as he awaited your arrival home, thinking of what to say.

his blood boiled as he thought of the implications of the past couple of weeks. you and ryan were definitely planning something. and with how close you two were lately, it was probably something that shane, your boyfriend, would not care for at all. and if his thoughts were right, then had this happened before? is he only noticing this now? he couldn’t even begin with what he needed to say to you.

you were the most important thing to him. from the moment he met you, he knew he had to be with you. and now that you could be cheating on him with his best friend? his heart was pumping and aching in his chest, and he didn’t know whether to be angry or sad.

when you opened the door, his head immediately shot up. “hey,” you smiled. after you closed the door behind you and took in his frantic state, you asked, “something wrong?”

“we gotta talk,” was all he could manage as he shook his head.

you furrowed your brow as you slipped off your jacket and dropped your bag. “okay..?” you stepped toward him. “what about?”

but your innocence just seemed to frustrate him. “i know about you and ryan.” you stopped in your tracks, but he didn’t dare glance at your reaction to his words. he was worried about what he’d find there. “i heard you guys talking in the breakroom earlier about meeting up when im not home, and how you two always text lately, and you’re always.. touching and..” he took a breath. “i know, y/n.” he finally looked up at you to see your face frozen in what seemed to be shock and concern. you stepped closer to him.

“shane, what?” he stood his ground, arms crossed as you moved in front of him. “shane, no.. no, i love you so much, i would never cheat on you.” you placed your hands on his arms and looked him dead in his eyes. but his expression remained stone.

“why should i believe that?” he spoke lowly.

he wished he hadn’t seen your heart break in your eyes. “shane, ryan and i are your best friends, we wouldn’t dare do that to you. we..” you let out a sigh through your nose and removed your hands from his arms to fish your phone out of your pocket. you unlocked it and handed it to him, revealing the texts between you and ryan.

scrolling up, he found:

boogara, 12:38pm okay, this might be a stupid question..

y/n, 12:42pm i love it already, do tell

boogara, 12:44pm alright do you think it would be at all possible to get balloons custom made as characters from the hotdaga?

y/n, 12:45pm OHMYGOD I LOVE IT WE ABSOLUTELY CAN IM LOOKING INTO IT RN

boogara, 12:46pm shane better appreciate this idea as much as you do when his birthday comes around

y/n, 12:48pm ryan, that man will celebrate harder than he’s ever celebrated before

boogara, 12:49pm he better

shane didn’t know what to make of that as he handed his phone back to you.

“we were planning a surprise party for your birthday,” you sighed, tucking your phone back into your pocket. “that’s why we’re so.. secretive.” you twiddled with your hands nervously. “but i guess not anymore.” shane didn’t know what to say. you looked up to him sadly. “you thought i was cheating on you..?”

shane’s heart burned with guilt. softly, he spoke, “i did, yeah.” your frown deepened. “but not because i don’t trust you,” he explained, taking your hand in his. you looked to your hands instead of his desperate eyes for a moment. “but because i just..” you looked up at him, and the words spilled out, “i don’t know, im just always in awe that i get to be with you and... i guess i got scared that maybe you thought i wasn’t good enough for you, because god knows im not.”

“shane,” you said softly, placing a hand on his cheek. “you’re perfect for me. ryan is definitely one of my best friends, but he doesn’t hold a candle to the love i have for you.” he offered you a short smile. “i only have eyes for you, dork.”

“im sorry,” he whispered. you pulled him in for a tight hug.

“i am, too,” you sighed, resting your head on his shoulder. “will you still act surprised for your birthday..? ryan’s pretty proud of himself.”

“i’d do anything for that little guy,” he sighed, pulling away from you to gaze at your sweet smile. “let’s go watch drunk history.”

When faith fails, you can only hope.

Hello!

This is a small project that was born from a comment on YouTube, in Annabelle's video.

By the way, English is not my first language. Any errors you see regarding grammar please tell me!

Zarael, a guardian angel did not believe that his work was so bad, until he had the misfortune that Shane Alexander Madej is his new human to protect

He along with Yoven, Ryan's angel and other guardian angels must take care of all the entities that the boys will bother in each episode of Unsolved Supernatural

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They are in front of the Warren house at the moment.

The room emanates darkness. All the objects there are cursed and Zarael knows if Shane manages to get out of the fucking place without a curse, it's really because God wants it that way.

He has taken bad habits of humans. There are things in their own society, on their own planes.

For example, nobody wears a robe or dress since humans made more comfortable clothes, and the truth is for each Angel to see if he wants to dress like his human. After all, each angel has the power to materialize things from the human plane to theirs.

Of course Zarael doesn't dress like Shane (he has more fashion sense than the Hawaiian shirt) but he has materialized things from other places.

His clothes.

The cigarettes.

Yoven hates them, but he doesn't have to deal with the guy who yells at evil entities to tear him apart.

So he's smoking right now, watching the boys prepare to record. With Yoven giving him a look, but he wisely says nothing.

That's the good thing about Yoven. He knows when he needs to calm down, he knows that although he doesn't like it, it's what keeps him sane.

"Are you ready?" Barhiet asks, approaching him.

"No. But Shane is going to get in there anyway"

Barhiet claps him on the shoulder with a small smile in the face "Good luck"

They entered the place, with many things trapped and not happy to be there. As seen from the outside, is full of dark energy. But nothing like Annabelle, the devil is in the box, content.

"Well, well. Hi, it's been a few days since we received visitors and so many cameras!" The demon smiled "Tell me what your humans do?"

"A program on YouTube .. basically they are ghost hunters" Yoven replied, greeting the demon since the creature does not represent any danger, trapped there. Only direct contact with her could be a danger and Zarael knows what will happen but still hopes that Shane don't do it for once in his life.

The demon smiles "Oh ... It's been a while since we have ghost hunters as guests"

The creatures around laughed.

It can't be good. But, again, if the boys don't touch anything, they can leave the stupid museum alive.

Ryan seems scared enough not to try. Shane, as always, is more likely to do it and screw things up.

Then the boys finish looking around and go straight to the big plate. Annabelle.

Ryan starts with the routine, asking if the devil could prove his presence.

"Unfortunately I can't, honey. You're right to say that wood has holy water" replied the demon. Of course Ryan could not say it, and both Yoven and I, relaxed a bit with that.

They were silent for a while, waiting for an answer. Trying to record some response that Annabelle is actually giving them.

So, of course, Shane began to be Shane.

"Can you jump into my mind?"

I closed my eyes. I saw it coming, but "Son of-"

"I'm gonna block you up inside my body like a little canary. You can be stuck inside my rib cage forever. What do you think of that Annabelle?"

Why does it always have to be this way?

The demon looked at Shane, first smiling at the first part until the human went on to describe how he would have him locked inside him like a canary.

Completely taken by surprise, the demon turned to them "What the fuck is wrong with him?"

"Nobody knows. He is that fucked up." I replied, half true.

The demons or entities have two answers to Shane's shits -What the fuck is wrong with him? - And -...If you ask for it that much-

He learned a while ago that if he lets Shane's chaotic attitude hit, he is more likely not to be attacked. As well as infuriating the entity.

In the end it is almost a matter of luck.

Luckily Annabelle looks more surprised than angry.

Until they turn on the spirits box, but nobody likes that shit.

Ryan turned it off when he realized they weren't going to have an answer over there. Changing technique giving her a few minutes of silence to do what she wanted ...

Annabelle looked at Ryan, frowning. "Yes, I'd love to say your crap box-"

"You're just a doll" Shane cut her out, without knowing it and leaving everyone with his mouth open.

"What did he just say?" Annabelle asked, turning to them, taken by surprise once more.

"Nothing," I replied, maybe too fast. "I mean ... he's just an idiot of course you're not just a doll."

Annabelle smiled at me.

Bad.

Very bad.

It is never good for a demon to smile at you if there is no longer a dismembered body in the middle.

Then I saw it in slow motion. Ryan was talking to the camera when Shane raised his hand and moved. DIRECT. TO TOUCH. THE. BOX. THAT. CONTAINS. THE. DEMON.

I hate him so much.

Thank God, Ryan moved quickly and caught Shane's hand before he made contact.

Annabelle booed Ryan "Just when it was going to get interesting"

She believed that she had lost all opportunity. I knew that we still have to do the sessions alone

Said and done.

Shane was there again. Alone.

There wasn't much to do really. I stood in front of the box, looking at Shane face to face.

"What are you doing?" I heard Annabelle ask behind me.

"Trying that my human does not touch your box, so he can live a few more days"

"Boring"

"I will say. I do not respect you," Shane whispered.

"Well, that's not nice," Annabell spoke at the same time I released an "Idiot."

Annabelle laughed with that and laughed even more with "Our pal, JC"

"This kid is great. I love him"

I would say strange, but, Shane has that kind of strange influence with the entities. They can love him or they can hate him.

And well ... Then there is the matter with the Goatman

"... Make me bleed" Shane finished.

Then I felt a chill go through my spine and I turned quickly to Annabelle. I saw then that I was wrong. She was not as well contained in the box as we thought.

"I thought you said you liked Shane" I stretched my wings, covering him from Annabell's vision.

"And I do. It's just that he's asking me to make him bleed."

Well, shit.

I took my hand back and touched the handle of my sword.

"Zarael" Yoven entered the museum again, with his own sword already drawn. Being surprised with the dark energy emitted by the box now.

"Come on. Two against one is not fair!" Annabelle complained.

Yoven's response was to stand next to me and I think I couldn't love him anymore at this time.

To our surprise, she calmed down.

Then Ryan came back into the room, saying that Shane's time was up.

Either way none of us moved. We couldn't let her do something to Ryan.

Luckily for us, with Ryan she seemed only happy to turn the flashlights on and off and watch him get scared of it.

Sure. Shane couldn't just leave. He had to talk to the devil about how much time they spend in cars.

I fucking hate him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you liked it!

Thanks to Shane's chaotic nature most of the time Zarael wants to kill him, but, the truth is he will never have a human like Shane again in his care.

He likes him quite a lot ... Although that is not so well seen

See you next time!

[levyfiles]

People be saying “Yay! Finally the boys have their own channel! They are rescued from the evil buzzfeed corporation UwU!” as if (1) “”corporations”” aren’t like, a totally normal and common thing in society, (2) this “evil corporation” didn’t provide them with the platform, audience and funding the boys needed in the first place, and (3) Ryan and Shane didn’t voluntarily put in job applications to work at buzzfeed, and instead were kidnapped by masked assassins............

Ahh, nonnybabe, you raise some really great points here about the near malicious vibe that intermingles with the celebration of the success of fellas like the Try Guys and our favourite Ghoul Boys aimed at this faceless company called Buzzfeed. 

Now, while I do understand the masses’ innate distrust for corporations in general, especially when they’re run by people who are reprehensible, outrageously wealthy and uncaring about social inequality, I think it’s time for me to address something about this particular perspective because Buzzfeed  If we can just solve this issue together by allowing me to lay down some facts I know about Buzzfeed so we can all stop playing like we don’t have to do our own research.

Brace yourselves, this is gonna get long.

The very founder of Buzzfeed Jonah Peretti (brother of our beloved Chelsea Peretti from B99) is an ICON. Jewish and raised by a black woman, he grew up to work to establish the famous Huffington Post and at the same damn time sought to make a website that would track viral content. What made Buzzfeed actually blow up was the start of the website covering news that no other news source wanted to gather or cover because it was entirely too politically left.

Putting that aside for now (brace yourself because i’m coming back to that especially), what put Jonah on the map as a guy not to mess with was the very controversial and Brilliant move on his part to throw shade at Nike. All the way back in 2001, Nike held this campaign amid their open storm of using young children in impoverished countries to build their shoes for people to be able to order shoes with their own custom insignia stitched into the shoe. Jonah ordered a pair and asked that his say “SWEATSHOP’ on the side. Here’s the full easy to read story. Please read it and that’ll give an idea of where the founder of Buzzfeed was coming from when he began to craft the face and image of Buzzfeed as it was growing.

So already Jonah Peretti is known worldwide as that one leftist, socialist guy stirring up trouble. The number of times, websites like 4chan and disgusting subreddits have been after his ass to assassinate his character which, I’ll be honest, is really easy to do when you start telling angry straight cis white boys on the internet that some dude running a viral news website wants to support socialism, charities, and worse still, non white creators.

Here is a full memo that Jonah sent across the company back in 2015.

Here is an update he sent in 2017 about their mission statement to support and help a diverse crowd of young creators start and grow.

Here is an editorial published about Jonah’s frustration with the state of media last year (Note: He aims an attack at actual corporations like Google and Facebook)

Now here’s the deal that bothers me most about the trend of hating Buzzfeed, the sentiment comes from two different sources. The first source is Buzzfeed’s videos about LGBT perspectives, feminist perspectives and surprise!surprise non-white perspectives in general. The result can be seen in many of the youtube comments of these videos. Anti-sjws, alt-right, neutral white boys all have their two cents to put in as to why hearing about anything rather than the white North american perspective hurts their feelings.

I remember once seeing a video of Pewdiepie where he happened to glance, just glance at a cast shot of an As/Is video in one of his meme reviews. He took one look at Real Actual Living Human Beings in this video and he said the words, and I quote “I get diversity, but Buzzfeed is taking it too far.” This was a group of women and a trans man standing together just laughing and posing, all of different nationalities and sexualities and the first thought out of that guy’s mouth was how what he was looking at was ‘too diverse’. If that doesn’t send a message about the way a lot of the straight white male population of the internet looks at Buzzfeed and talks about it, I don’t know how best to explain this otherwise.

The Second source of ire from anti-buzzfeed posts comes from the long list of Why I Left Buzzfeed videos. This one is really complicated because it requires a person to understand how media companies work, external ad revenue, and creative copyright. As someone who has followed many media agencies due to enjoying talents, variety shows, international pop/music, and internet creators, I know that it’s absurd that Buzzfeed’s main detractor has been individuals who are extremely creative making the mistake of signing on with a massive media agency to get a jumpstart expecting to own all of their content they come up with and post under Buzzfeed’s name. Note that I use the word jumpstart. If people go in to Buzzfeed as a job looking to live the life of a youtuber, they’re in for a nasty surprise. The amount of content you’re expected to generate is on par with working at any production company especially one whose M.O. is current viral content and it is entirely anyone’s perogative to leave the company they work for and much like nonny said in their missive, Buzzfeed’s money goes toward funding, providing a platform, advertising, and merchandising all of which any creative on the street needs to work years and years to get. Buzzfeed as a company encourages their employees to work hard and consistently create and if their ideas hit the big time, they blow up. In order to preserve their branding and avoid incidents with fans, the employees are kept at a distance from their fans. This is the same sort of policy that goes with nearly any other agency out there (in fact most agencies are even stricter). Having such a huge company churning out viral video after viral video enough that they attract the minds of people like Ryan Bergara or Shane Madej (or name your favourite buzzfeeder) who manage to make the one thing that puts them in the position they’re in now, is immensely beautiful.

Basically, I feel you, nonnyb. While I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people unsubscribing to Buzzfeed Blue after the BFU Network went live, I feel really icky about the weird unfounded hatred people have for the company where these guys as adults looking to make stuff they care about, chose to work and still work with. They’ve got a platform and it’s still with Buzzfeed, they have a lot of fun making the stuff they do and they’re given free reign to go all out.

So maybe next time you wanna go out for blood because you wanna stick it to the man, stick it to when Buzzfeed leaves Youtube lol
