little red riding hood but there's no hood and the big bad wolf is a cat and I don't think there's anything to ride in the forest and ringo could be littler so really it's just. red.

Audio Script - A4A Car Crash Meet Cute

If we're not in peril, are we even trying to fall in love? I wrote this a while ago and would love to put it out there for audio artist to pick up if they're interested but I'm not really sure how to go about that, so we'll start here! <3

You're welcome to record this script but please give me credit and a link so I can listen too! And, you know, don't put it behind a paywall. But if you want to pay me to make you your own scripts, you're welcome to contact me. <3 <3

Audio artists be warned, I seem to make a lot of background sound notes. Good luck, brave creators! I believe in your sound magic! tags: car accident, minor injury, definitely could have died, meet cute in peril, older siblings friend

Car Crash Meet Cute

[cracking trees]

[muffled radio glitching]

[muffled engine running]

[rain patter]

[all sounds waving in and out before focusing]

[creaking trees as the car slides a little more]

[voice muffled from outside the door] Hey! Hey, can you hear me?

Are you awake? Can you hear me?

Don’t move! You’re going to be okay.

Hang on, I’m going to open the door slowly…

[door creaking open, wet forest sounds]

[breathing hard] Hang on, okay? Don’t move until I figure out… Shit…

Hm? No, I wasn’t in the car that hit you, but I saw it… When you went off the road and into the trees, I thought… Well, I thought you’d gone right off the mountain.

No, you’re not going off the edge. I’m getting you out, okay? It looks like these trees are holding the weight of the car but…

[creaking/snapping trees, radio cuts out]

I don’t think we can wait for help…

[creaking trees]

I’m going to reach in and undo your seatbelt, okay? I don’t want you to move yet.

[breathing close]

[seatbelt click]

[car groan]

[still close] Okay, I’m going to count to three and you’re going to hug me.

[laughs a little] Yeah, I climbed all the way down here just to trick you into hugging me. I’m going to count to three and then I’m pulling you out of the car, okay?

[car groan and trees crack]

Shhh, it’s okay. It’s okay.

One.

Two.

Three. [sharp inhale, pulling listener out of the wreck and falling to the side]

[tree snapping and car rolling off a cliff]

[heavy breathing, rain patter]

Are you okay? Yeah? [smiling]

Does anything feel broken?

That’s good. You’ve got a cut on your head there, but you look okay. Can you wiggle your arms?

And your feet?

Great. Can you stand?

Take it slow, I’ve got you. We’re not in a hurry anymore.

Don’t-Don’t look off the drop… [worried, listener realizing they almost died] Yeah, if you’d gone over… But you didn’t. You’re okay.

Hey. Look at me.

You’re okay.

Do you want… Is it okay if I hug you?

Yeah? Okay. [hugs] Deep breaths. You’re going to have a great story to tell when you get home tonight.

[laughs a little] Yeah, I’ll give you a ride. I’m not going to run all the way down here to pull you out of a car just to leave you by the side of the road when we climb back out.

Do you feel up to walking? Okay, but if anything starts hurting or you feel sick, let me know, okay? We’ll stop.

Yeah, I called for help on my way down but I lost connection and we’re almost at the top of the pass, I don’t know how long it’ll take for someone to get out here. When we get closer to the road, I can call again and find out, but you’re going to get cold if we wait around down here for help.

[laughs] Okay, you got me, I’ll get cold too.

[walking, foliage rustling and rain drops] Just straight up this way. Your car cleared us a path.

Saved you? No. I did what anyone would have done.

Okay, yeah, anyone but that asshole that knocked you off the road and then kept going…

No, I didn’t get the license plate, but I got the make and model. We’ll file reports when we get to the road. Don’t worry.

So, where were you headed?

Really? Looks like we live in the same town.

All your life?

Oh no… That means we have to know some of the same people. What was our name?

[laughs] Are you related to Alex? No! The notorious baby sibling?

Oh, you are definitely notorious… I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you. I mean, you’ve grown a lot. I think the last time I saw you, you were a freshman in high school.

Alex was painfully clear about none of us being allowed to even talk about you, let alone look at you. One of our friends said he thought he saw you at a café once and Alex sprayed him with a can of beer and kicked him out of the apartment for a week.

It doesn’t matter that it’s been years since high school. Alex is weirdly private about family stuff and super protective about you.

You really didn’t know?

But you knew about that bully you had freshman year, right? Yeah, that junior that kept pulling your hair and pushing you…

You thought he just stopped one day on his own?

Well, yeah, he apologized… After we threw him in the pool. Alex went on a fucking rampage that year to make sure everyone knew to leave you alone after we graduated out. You seriously didn’t know?

[laughs] That’s hilarious.

I wonder how much trouble I’ll get in for this… I mean, I am saving your life—

[half-joking] Oh, yeah, when I tell Alex this story, I’m definitely saying that I saved your life. Imminent peril. If I didn’t touch you, you would have died. That’s the only way I’m going to survive this too.

[losing their smile] Hey… Are you okay?

You’re shaking. The adrenaline is probably wearing off… Here, [clothing rustle] take my jacket.

You’re limping… Does your leg hurt?

Stop for a second. Let me get a look. I’m gonna touch your leg, okay? Tell me where it hurts.

[sympathetic hiss] Okay. I don’t think it’s broken…

No, you probably shouldn’t keep walking on it. We’re not too far from the road. How about I give you a piggyback?

[laughs a little] Yes, Alex will be pissed, but we’re way past that. I hugged you. I might be executed for my crimes.

What? [laughs harder] No, you’re not too heavy. Oh my god, come here.

[picks them up and starts walking again]

[far off siren]

Huh, looks like I don’t have to call again.

We’re almost there, hang on.

[smiling] You want my number? Oh man… you’re going to hate when I remind you about this but… you don’t seem to have your phone on you so I’m pretty sure it’s—

Yeah. With the car. Gone. Definitely gone.

[sirens closer, rain patter on the road] We made it.

No, I’m not going to leave you here to wait for the emergency crew.

Come on, you can sit in my car and warm up. We’ll wait together and I can drive you to the hospital when we’re cleared to go. [car door]

You are definitely going to the hospital. You drove off the side of a mountain…

No, it’s no trouble. There’s nowhere else I need to be.

[laughs] No, it’s not because Alex would be angry if I left you here. I’d rather wait with you and, honestly, I’d like to drive back with you.

[turning on the heater, low music]

[frantic-babbling]

I can't stop thinking about our favorite doomed-from-the-start gays

WDYM "shirt I GOT you"

(strangers best friends to lovers to enemies really got stuck in his head that night)

it has changed every single neural pathway in my brain, the spiraling I went down, the new thoughts have been thunk

pls enjoy my frantic babbling (hah) to myself from two nights ago

[thebramblewood]

I keep thinking I can see the end of HZID in sight, but I also keep coming up with ideas for new elaborate scenes. I guess the biggest thing I'm realizing is that what I thought was the last 25% of the story is actually the main 75%.

[morningnoodles]

very cheeky of hozier to write a song for bagginshield. i mean-

bagginshield coded.

[punkdragons]

I hatched these three dragons when I quit my last job in June of last year.

Brickley reminds me that it's healthy to quit. "If it sucks, hit da bricks!"

Revanche reminds me that other people's opinions of where you are at in life don't matter. "If I want your opinion, I'll read it in your entrails."

Finally, Imelda reminds me, somewhat more gently, that it's okay to put yourself first. "A lot of walking away will do your life good."

Keep hanging in there, friends.

[butchriptide]

mourning what could've been if the love interests in arc 1 got to talk to each other. mourning the peril-deathbringer friendship that only exists in my brain. what if you were raised to believe u were a monster and only capable of violence. what if u were raised always knowing your express purpose for the rest of your life was to take others' lives from them. what if i was heavily gaslit from a young age to never question this life set before me and you only shook yourself free of your reality through the loss of someone that both represented that future for you but was also your only tie to your innocence.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PERILS!!!!

⌨️💰🐜

⌨️ a fic that caused you to violently smash your own keyboard

"Treat Them With(out) Mercy" by @nobodysdaydreams Smashing my keyboard very aggressively while staring dead at you, Bods. You know what you did.

💰a fic that drove you to steal something out of their home (please share what was stolen and why).

"Rolie Polies" by @plentyghosts AAGGGGHHHHH THIS ONE. I haven't stolen anything from Wynn's house (yet), but I've been close. I love this fic so much, and it brings me such emotions each and every time.

🐜 a fic that compelled you to release household pests into their home

"Captain's Duty" Now, I don't know the author of this fic, but if I did and I knew it wouldn't offend them too much I would be infesting their house with centipedes.

[angsty-aliens]

I’m reading Lockwood and Co and these feral children are like “we’re gonna attend this fancy party, then AT the fancy party we break into a secret library, okay then there’s a wardrobe change and we steal a cursed object from a bunch of really bad guys who will definitely kill us. We have 4 hours. That’s enough time.”

Children. No. Please choose ONE dangerous activity a night. ONE. There is too much peril. You all need naps. I need a nap.

(I love these books.)

[gayszlen]

i keep seeing good posts about NtN and wanting to reblog them but i got me gf to read GtN and she's on HtN now so I can't risk her seeing spoilers sobsobsob

[spiritsong]

don't let the world harden your heart

[lem-argentum]

than/rudy/raha is an interesting concept to me becauseee. th.ancred deals a lot with words unspoken. his most meaningful relationships are hurt because he focuses on action to the point of miscommunication. and meanwhile, aside from what he keeps hidden very intentionally, raha says a lot more in terms of affection. because (from his perspective) his time is almost up, and he wants to leave those relationships with the other knowing how he feels without any doubt. y’know………

[akkivee]

bat fam, fans, and stans, y’all should get ready and start getting hype because 2024 is the year of the dragon which means 2024 is the year of kuukou it’s kuukou’s year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
