i couldn't for the life of me find it again but i saw this really great post about how rex seems like he has BPD or a cluster b personality and i totally agree and i feel like it fits into markrex quite well for a few reasons. when rex first sees mark and eve arriving together, he has a really dramatically negative reaction even after eve tells him they go to the same high school. i feel like this scene highlights how rex is really insecure about himself and the relationship, and that eve merely being around an attractive guy like mark makes him feel really threatened. he also later makes fun of mark, which isn't abnormal for him but i feel like was to try and make himself feel better about the situation and the perceived rejection he's probably feeling from eve. and when they contain to hang out it made rex feel even worse, so he decides to self sabotage by cheating with kate. and the line kate says to eve is also really telling IMO, because we know he wasn't telling the truth but the fact that he would say she's dating invincible now means he could feel as if that might as well be true, because of a perceived abandonment of him by eve for mark. and for markrex, i think this could also show that rex is insecure about his attraction to mark as well, and probably feels inferior to him.

anon i saw that post too!! although i'm sorry it took me days to get back to you 😭 i tried to search it up so i can link it but it seems like it's goneeee 😭😭😭

i did a lil more reading and digging about it the clusters in BPD and i totally see what you mean.

ik it's not canon that rex has BPD but it would be so interesting to have that type of rep in the show.

also, thank you for listing out the moments those are really still fresh in my mind cause i've started to ship markrex even then.

all of rex's appearances and moments are memorable tbh. and it is highlighted with how he reacts with the things around him (as you listed this includes his dramatic moments, his jealousy, possible feelings of inferiority, and his self-sabotaging ways).

these things does add a certain interesting aspects about markrex's dynamic. and the s2 ep1 is such a blessing tbh.

because in s1 we see markrex in a not-so positive light considering there were moments rex was mean to mark. but mark never really took any of it to heart. which, btw, bless. it speaks how mature mark is and i think it'll be a really good balance with rex's immaturity.

now with their moment on s2ep1, it's such a good change to see them interact this way. you wouldn't think that rex would comfort him — if anything, i genuinely thought the writers would have black samson comforting invincible — but rex was genuine about it. sure it wasn't the most comforting or eloquent reassurance, but it was a genuine attempt coming from rex.

i do have a lil fic in the works for it btw hehe, but that's for another time.

personally i'm looking forward for more markrex interactions. i think they can balance each other really well, the blue-red aesthetic is there too, and the one-sided rivalry to allies to friends to lovers arc is my jammmm 🫶

Any chance of director's commentary on Summer Series? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

summer series — (Ted Lasso, Jamie/Roy, Post S3, Dom/sub, Getting together)

“I would kiss you, obviously. I’d ask first, because I want to hear you say it.” “Because you want to hear me say it,” Roy asks, “or because you want me to tell you what to do?”

This fic is like. THE definition of "I wrote this for myself but you guys can read it too." I will freely admit that it’s a bit of a mess and probably under-edited but I have SO much fondness for it. I wanted to write team slice of life on adventures AND Roy/Jamie get together AND kinky fic and I combined all of it and it probably feels pretty disjointed overall (or it does to my critical eye?) and I can’t help but think I should’ve gone in harder on the kink. But even with all the nitpicks, I had SO much fun writing it.

One of my favourite things to do in Ted Lasso fic is to take football premises that are barely there and write a whole fic out of them (hey, Tolkien did it with LOTR and Elvish!) and it’s just so much fun. To me. Another of my favourite things to do is to take throwaway unhinged RoyJamie lines and make a whole Thing out of it, and Jamie being like 👉👈 Coach can I have a beer? 🥺 was as unhinged as it gets.

The end result is one of the most self-indulgent things I’ve ever written I think, and I had so much fun brainstorming it with fandom pals, and I’m just !!!! A bit overwhelmed with fondness every time I think about the process of writing this.

My favourite part to write, by far, were the throaway team scenes + all the bits where there’s an intense RJ eyefucking moment happening and Beard is just There. And then he excuses himself and doesn’t say a word. Anyway, I could write like five different fics that are just riffs on this.

Across the table, Jeff winks cheerfully and starts giving him shit for sleeping in even after he left early last night. “Was she fit, at least?” he says, so loud that everyone on their side of the table turns to look, half a dozen idiots all wagging their eyebrows. “I didn’t! Just went to sleep, swear down.” Dec nods to himself like he cracked it. “So it was a shit fuck.” Bumbercatch snaps his fingers. Points in Jamie’s direction. “Maybe he was the shit fuck.” “Your mum’s a shit fuck, mate,” Jamie says, even though Janet’s lovely and probably a brilliant shag.

There’s something about writing himbo athletes. It makes me HAPPY.

MODERN AU MACSUMMERS HEADCANONS!!

sean has his drivers license and lenny doesnt, which means he owns the car they take everywhere. he has filled it with so much junk, like toolboxes, ladders, a blender, empty food wrappers, pillows etc that no one can sit in the back.

“sean you gotta clean this car out.”

“why would i do that when it doesn’t bother me? it bothers you so you do it.”

“…no.”

lenny loves to watch all kinds of movies he sees on tiktok and since sean doesnt want to be alone he will lie and watch with him. but then he gets bored and plays on his phone, climbs on lenny, complains etc

“i don’t understand this is really boring…”

“its not boring you just have to watch it to understand-”

“but its just people talking its so boring”

“sean you have to pay attention to actually get it”

“ITS BEEN ON FOR HOURS AND I DONT GET IT”

“ITS BEEN ON FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES SEAN”

similarly lenny loves to go to the theatre/cinema so he can review movies and sean loves to go with him just to be there but then ALSO GETS JUST AS BORED after eating 3 quarters of the popcorn and drinking all his slushy. he says he “needs the bathroom” but lenny knows hes going for a wander around and is glad so he isn’t bothered anymore.

“i can’t get any signal lenny”

“you dont need to be on your phone anyway”

“just checking if my da’s messaged me…”

“sean be quiet”

“this is a bit crap isn’t it?”

“no, its really well made-will you just be quiet?”

“i need a wee.”

lenny makes the foodshopping orders because sean just adds a bunch of random things he likes the look of but won’t even eat.

“i don’t think we need that much oreo cereal…”

“i like it lenny”

“you don’t even eat cereal anymore because your teeth are too sensitive!”

“well what about when jack comes round?”

“…and why would jack eat our cereal?”

sean brought home a cat once and lenny was very annoyed because he thought they didn’t need the extra responsibility. two weeks later and lenny is more obsessed with the cat than sean.

“look sean he’s asleep”

“…oh aye.”

“awwh he purrs in his sleep!”

“yeah.”

“look sean, hes laying on the blanket too!”

“…i thought you didn’t like him!”

their apartment is very small and cramped, but they love it amd don’t ever see themselves moving into a house. sean is actually quite obsessed with the interior because he wants to show his da on his next visit how nice their apartment looks. he loves to go into charity shops to see what they have for decoration.

“so today i bought this wee fella to put on the mantel piece!”

“oh…is it a buddah?”

“aye!”

“lovely!”

“and i got this lady too but i don’t know where to put her because she’s quite big-”

“IS THAT A GNOME?”

lenny works at a convenience store while doing his online courses for college. sean does jobs like fixing sinks and mowing lawns for cash. whenever he’s bored, he’ll come to see lenny at work.

“did you miss me? i’ve come to save you from this shite job!”

“yes, very much, now you need to get out of the queue.”

“can i not come behind the counter?”

“no, i’ll get in trouble.”

“can you get me something for free because you work here?”

“no sean, i’ll get in trouble.”

“i’ll go help some customers for you!”

“do you not have an apartment to be tidying?”

lenny’s gallery is just filled with screenshots of sean on facetime because he’s always pulling faces or angrily ranting. they make perfect snapchat stickers that everyone in the gang ends up stealing.

“erm lenny. why does arthur have this picture of me?”

“probably from when you facetimed him…”

“im never facetiming you again you eejit”

everyone thinks sean is more likely to get into a bar fight but its actually lenny. sean has mastered the art of ignoring stupid drunks in the club from his years of experience, but lenny 3 drinks in takes offense to EVERYTHING.

“he’s challenging me.”

“he just laughed at what you said-”

“it wasn’t even FUNNY. he is ABSOLUTELY LITERALLY challenging me!”

“oh really? and i’m absolutely literally taking you home.” 

lenny has baths that last for at least 3 hours and sean always comes wandering in to sit on the bathroom floor and talk to him. he even brings cups of tea in with him and shows lenny tiktoks.

“you know you’re sat in a puddle of your own filth?”

“oh like you everyday?”

“…your going to look like a raisin when you get out.”

“yeah, probably.”

“…”

“…”

“PLEASE JUST GET OUT ITS BEEN TWO HOURS”

“no”

why do you wear a suit jacket everywhere??

Oh- It's not a suit jacket actually... It's my dad's old leather jacket, from when he was my age.

It's... one of the last things I have left of him, really.

3, 4, 11, 25

3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

Hmm. I always get kind of apprehensive about these questions, as though I'm entering into some kind of pact instead of poasting on my blog. I'm just going to go with 3 of my currently most-rewatched. Annihilation, The Wicker Man, In The Earth. There's a theme, huh.

4. what’s an inside joke you have with your family or friends?

The first actual house some of my roommates and I rented, back in 2015-16, was a real piece of shit. The bathroom caulking had all this brown stuff on it, and I wanted to know if it was mold--if we needed to be concerned. So I went to ask siri to google it for me. Crucially, what I said aloud was "Brown spots on caulk." You can imagine. Caulk mentions in our household are forever a reminder of that.

11. what do you consider to be romance?

Oh gosh. Making time for one another. Communication. Flowers. A healthy mutual interest in the sublime. Learning what positive touch means for each other. The ocean at night. Jazz in the summer. Eating together. Blood (in certain contexts).

25. fave season and why?

I have accepted that for me personally it is now summer, not autumn. The heat can be hard to endure when it spikes, but I love the fullness of growing things, long days and slow nights, green green green, thunderstorms...

[nagito-komaeda428]

[nerice]

DO you have hair pics from the metallic pink era? Sounds divine!

(speedruns my ask backlog) i unfortunately don't!!!!!! :(( was notoriously camera shy during my teens due to all the. self harm lmao & this was pre-smartphones (well. 2010 but i was poor) but if you want 2 recreate the look i can tell you the secret recipe: be 14 with no idea how tf hair dye works. have a friend slap (1) package of regular blond on ur dark hair that needs at least 3 for its length and then use the metallic pink (might have been more metallic red, actually, given the time) this is nothing. looks like shit. have ur mom freak tf out about it and try to salvage it by just slapping two more packs of the metallic dye over the mess you made. THIS SUDDENLY BECOMES THE HOTTEST LOOK YOU'LL EVER HAVE bc due to the weird half-taken blond on top it turned into this absolutely sick light-to dark redpink gradient. i tried to recreate it a year later when it had grown out a little but it never looked as nice as that happy accident. it did get me into a longterm relationship tho so absolutely worth lol

[liesmyth]

A, N, K!

A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

Genuinely can't choose, but this one has a special place in my heart and I haven't brought it up this game so far. Dublin Murder Squad series, post book 1, some supernatural elements and fairy folklore, and I had a great time trying to recreate the narrative voice of the book

K: Do you have a guilty pleasures in fic (reading or writing)?

I feel like I'm pretty straightforward in owning up to what I like, but I probably don't talk enough on main about my undying love for Peggy Sure fics (time travel into body of past self!!!) and amnesia fics (medical accuracy WHOMST). I also have read and enjoyed thoroughly the worst filth you can imagine. Like, whatever you're thinking "this is the grossest kinkiest most hardcore fic in existence", I've probably read worse (where "worse" is a feature, not a bug). I'm always happy to give recs if asked. Call me the smut whisperer.

N: Any fic ideas brewing that you’d care to share?

I believe it's my turn to write the RoyJamie get together in Marbella post S2 trope :D

[q list]

[thecursedanon]

hiii, i'm that anon who requested lee!yuji. i don't mind if he's not wrecked as revenge in part 2!

i'm excited for the part-2 and the yuji cheer up tickle fic! <3

tysmmm for writing!

Hi again Nonnie!!

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you're excited <3

Sorry for the delay, I've been doing most of my writing at work during down time and it got super busy right before the holiday with vacations and junk... It's calmed down now though so I'm getting back to work on them ^^

I also got sidetracked by another non tword original work/project I'm working on at the same time, I have to take the inspiration when it hits bc my muse is a fickle gremlin... Lol.

Here, have a fluffy/comfort sneak peak of the Yuji fic for your troubles! <3

---

Nanami, of course, saw this. He let out a small chuckle as he idly picked up one of Itadori’s blankets from the floor, folding it as he spoke. “Yuji, if something is bothering you… you know you can talk to me, right?” He asked, glancing up at the teen as he neatly set it down on the bed. “Even if you think it’s something minor…”

Yuji bit his lip and looked back out the window. “Yeah… I know that…It’s just my thoughts are so scrambled right now… I don’t even know how to start talking about what’s bothering me...”

Nanami frowned, picking up another blanket and approaching the pinkette with it. He carefully draped it around him and sat down next to him. “I understand…”

A memory flickered to the forefront of his mind, he recalled saying something similar to his best friend when he was Yuji’s age. Haibara had responded by looking for the fluffiest, most comforting blanket he could find in their dorm room and damn near smothered Kento with it as he wrapped him up in it and hugged him tightly.  

It was times like this that he wished Yu had still been alive, he’d be much better at this sort of thing than he was… “I’m sorry.” Kento said softly, his hands firmly grasping his students shoulders. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

Yuji looked at the window, the rain and wind had kicked up even more outside. “Can I… have a hug?”

Nanami nodded, not hesitating to engulf him in a big protective hug at his request. “Of course you can.”

Yuji smiled, the warmth from the blanket and the warmth radiating from the tight hug was soothing to him. He wrapped his arms around Nanami in response, resting his head on his shoulder.
