Thought of the day:

Billy and Steve unintentionally reunite in the late 90s because they both answered each other's lonely hearts ad in the newspaper.

[sciderman]

I really don't like how we're just glossing over the fact that Gwen cheated on Peter let alone MJ hiding this from him.

who's glossing? i'm writing a whole fic about it.

2. they were on a BREAK

3. you're forgetting that peter and gwen are dramatic irony the couple™ and at exactly the precise same time gwen had her tongue down mary jane's throat peter had his tongue down harry's. the exact same night.

the joke is that peter has been burying all this guilt for years thinking that he'd failed gwen and was terrible and dishonest and she was an angel who was too good for him until he finds out. gwen was always just as much of a messy bitch as he was. but he was too busy spiralling in his own messes to realise that gwen was just as messy as he was.

4. mj didn't tell him, sure. but that's because she assumed gwen told him. i don't think mj's the sort of girl to say "hey by the way i fucked your girlfriend shitlips" even if that would be hilarious. she didn't think it was a secret though and definitely thought gwen told peter.

and yeah. i'd hesitate to call it cheating - they were definitely on a break. they might not have laid down a law, and definitely both feel ridiculously guilty about it, but they. were. on a break.

i think it was just a necessary thing, for both of them.

i think for me, i'm not about the moral black-and-white of relationships - it always got me down when people point at the piña colada song saying it's terrible. it's about cheating. that's objectively bad and evil so says it in the bible thou shall not commit adultery yadda yadda yadda. no, no, shut up. that's not what the song is about. the song is about rediscovering there's stuff you've overlooked about your partner. that you can think you love someone, but not actually know them. and you can learn more about them, and realise they're not what you thought, and you can fall in love with them all over again. for me, that's like, the most romantic thing ever, actually. and those who look at it through the "this song is about cheating" lens completely sleep on how genuinely, sincerely cute and romantic it is. that it's a song not about cheating, but discovering stuff you didn't know about your partner, and falling in love with them all over again. finding out that actually, you're both the kind of person who's crazy and lustful for life enough to run away with a romantic stranger on a wild escape, but you were both too afraid to admit that to each other. i love that song. it's so much more sincere and human than any stupid love song. nay sayers get away from me.

i think peter and gwen are a lot like that piña colada song. neither of them are a villain. both of them make mistakes and both of them were messy and both of them had stuff to figure out before they could make it work together.

i... sighs... i'd like people to kind of stop expecting these guys to be right all the time. they're disasters. i wouldn't be interested to write them in any other way. and i promise you wouldn't be interested to read it, either. i'm here for the messy bitches who have stuff to figure out. shout out to the messy bitches who have stuff to figure out.

Rupert Holmes - Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

[tweedfrog]

You've heard of ethical non-monogamy now get ready for non-ethical monogamy

[friendshipgun]

wrote a short little extra scene for 'all i need is some sunshine' for the spring_renewal prompt 'a lot of boxes.' it's Karl pov and takes place after ch12 but before ch18.

Title: nobody's poet Fandom: RE8 Pairing: Karl Heisenberg/Ethan Winters Rating: Teen Excerpt:

He found the box of cassettes first. Ethan told him what they were later. Stood next to Karl in front of the open shoebox picking one out after another and making quiet commentary under his breath, a snort or a softly muttered Really? or Damn that was really only telling Karl that Ethan seemed pretty picky about his music.

of COURSE Taub's ringtone for his wife is the cheating song

[billyrussoapologist]

Not to be all “back in my day,” but I miss when lyrics would tell a story. Give me “Brandy,” “Famous Blue Raincoat,” “Billy Don’t Be a Hero,” “American Pie,” “Pina Colada.” I love songs that tell stories. Please comment/tag some of your favorites, whether it’s older or new.

You know the pina colada song? Isnt it so poetic how cheating on each other was the most romantic thing they could have possibly done to bring love back to their relationship

[sciderman]

okay so like assuming the budget cuts are somewhat canon, and assuming Peter is Anita's boy toy because of the fanfic, is Wade anything to Olive? Do they have anything established between them? Or has Wade not officially met Olive yet, is he going too?

hooh. hoooh. do i already have a playlist for this too? oh you betcha

wade hasn't officially met olive yet, but we kind of get an inkling to how wade would probably react to olive, just in how wade reacts whenever peter does present more femme.

[x]

wade's starving for olive. he's so, so... SO... just. be-yoing. cartoon boner sounds abound. wade's brain cannot function around him. his blood's just too busy flowing in the southernly direction.

i think olive delights in actually having the upper-hand in this dynamic. wade gets stupid. like. legitimately stupid when he's around olive. verbal diarrhoea. jaw stupidly agape. wolf sounds. salivating like pavlov's dog at dinner time.

yeah. yeah.

i'm kind of obsessed with peter and olive treated as two entirely separate identities, in the same way wade and anita are - so when peter goes on a date with anita - peter deals with anita as though she's an entirely different person to wade - and wade consents to that relationship, as though it were a polyamorous sort of a deal. peter's out on a date with anita tonight, and wade just has to wait at home for peter to come back, and he'll ask him how it went. it's just - it's cute. and similarly, wade and olive have an act going where wade has no idea it's peter. even though there's no mask and no arrangement or agreement between them - wade commits to the bit immediately on impact with olive, and honest to god, you'd believe it's genuine. he can't put two and two together – olive's so different from peter, there's no way they're the same person.

i think the hilarious thing is wade and olive's dynamic vs peter and anita's - god. peter is so, so respectful of anita - they take ages to get past first base, because peter's so sweet, and cautious, and also so respectful over wade's emotions, because - because he doesn't want to betray wade. spoilers for a peter/anita follow-up fic that i might finish. one day.

wade is no such gentleman. he cheats on peter immediately. peter ceases to exist when olive is around. peter? who's peter? i don't think olive cares all too much. and peter legitimately is none the wiser. while wade's aware of anita and introduces peter to her - peter genuinely has no idea about olive's existence. peter is getting cucked by olive and he doesn't know about it. please, please don't tell him.
