Tumblr media
It was Emma's quinceañera and you were so incredibly ready. About a year ago you remember a conversation you had with Amy that had stuck with you.
~*~*~*~*~
(One Year Before)
You were working the same shift as Amy that day and were just trying to make small talk. You asked her about a few personal things before bringing up Emma. She smiled and began talking.
"Oh, Emma? She's doing pretty good! It's her quinceaneara next year, I can't believe it. She's already started planning and begging me to go to Disney." She said with a light laugh "I keep trying to tell her we can't afford it but she still asks over and over again."
~*~*~*~*~
That conversation had stayed with you so you decided you'd begin saving up some money to purchase some tickets to Disney for Emma and Amy.
It was finally the day of Emma's quince, and you had arrived. You told Emma how beautiful she looked, and she thanked you with a small smile. You told her you had an amazing surprise for her. She tilted her head quizzically. You pulled her and Amy aside and told them you wanted to show them something. They followed you to a quiet corner of a tent and you pulled out a letter. It had 'Emma' written on it and you told her to read it aloud. She was slightly confused but as she read it her face lit up. "Dear Emma, I know how much you've wanted this for over a year so I decided to do it. At the bottom of this letter are the QR codes for your tickets to disney! Surprise! I've paid for both you and Amy to go to Disney for your birthday! Lots of love, (Y/N) xxx"
The two went quiet before shrieking and thanking you profusely. Emma hugged you tighter than ever whilst thanking you. She got called away so said thanks one more before leaving. Amy pulled you into a hug and thanked you for letting her daughters birthday dream come true. You spent most of that night in a grateful embrace with Amy and you wouldn't have it any other way.

I would so much rather it take longer for two characters to get together than for them to have a 3rd act break up. I mean this for any form of media but especially tv shows. It almost always ends up at least partially ruining the characters as they have to give them a reason to break up. So then when they get back together it’s always iffy bc they almost never fix the actual problem.

amy + jonah + reader
(platonic/familial)
ask: Omg you write for superstore!!!!!! Can I send in a request for it where R works at thr store, and Amy is a mother figure to them, and they're like sort of adopted into the Sousa family with them being an older sibling figure to Emma, and Jonah slowly becoming a fatherly type to R??
- It was only supposed to be a summer job, just something to kill time in between school. But you ended up there longer than you meant to, getting closer with all your coworkers.
- You kept to your own for a while, keeping your head down and working like you were supposed to.
The first real bonding you’d had at work was when a group of kids from school showed up in the store. You hadn’t exactly gotten along with them, and the concept of them knowing where you work was pretty awful. Desperately trying to skirt down the aisles to get the break room, you run smack into Amy restocking sparkling waters. The cases of water are stacked tall in the aisle and you duck behind them before you can feel embarrassed.
Amy barely gets out a, “Wh-“ before glances up to the end of the aisle. Knowing Emma’s reluctance to see anyone her age in public, Amy lets out a sigh and continues to casually stock water as you hide behind the pallet and wait for the group to leave. After a couple more minutes, she pulls out her walkie-talkie, “Dina, can you check the cameras for a group of high schoolers?” Dina launches into a rage-filled monologue as Amy tries to calm her down “No- Don’t- Do not call the police! It’s nothing.”
In another minute, Dina radios back, “They’re not here. Guess they escaped, it won’t happen again.” Amy rolls her eyes and waves you out from behind the pallet, “C’mon, someone needs to finish setting up the beach display.” Scurrying away nervously, you smile, “Thanks, won’t bother you again!”
- A couple days later, Glenn gives everyone a packet of paperwork at a staff meeting, regarding taxes for the next year. You stare blankly at the paper until Amy taps you gently on the shoulder, “Hey, it’s not as scary as it looks. I don’t think Glenn even knows these have to be mailed in.”
- On days that she notices you haven’t eaten anything, she always manages to have a granola bar on her to offer you.
- During days where you get assigned to freezer, there’s always a jacket shoved inside your locker. Amy plays dumb whenever you mention it, insisting she doesn’t play favorites.
One day, after an already difficult morning, Mateo slips on an orange peel and spills his entire iced coffee onto you, straw and all. Despite hurried reassurances that it’s fine and you’re not mad, you can feel your eyes prick with tears.
Mateo runs off and comes back pulling Amy behind him, gesturing up and down at your distressed state. Amy’s demeanor immediately flips into what the others call ‘mother hen’ and she waves Mateo away. Putting an arm around your shoulders, she pulls you into the bathroom, ignoring your insistence that it’s fine.
She only steps away to mumble something into the walkie, and within minutes, Cheyenne slips into the bathroom. She reveals three clean t-shirts with a grin, “I use my locker to store outfit changes.” She leaves them with you guys, hurrying back to cover the floor. Amy stands outside the bathroom while you change, and lets a small smile drift onto her face when you come out clearly feeling better.
- One day, you’re doing register and there’s a particularly obnoxious customer. Some man who’s furious that you can’t give him a refund even though he doesn’t have a receipt, the item, or his card. You stand there, trying to zone out while his voice gets increasingly loud. Suddenly, there’s someone else standing next to you. You turn to see Amy looking absolutely furious, pointing outside and explaing the refund policy. The man rolls his eyes and you turn to your other side to see Jonah trying his best to look equally intimidating, “Scram dude. No refunds without a receipt. Take it up with corporate.” The man mumbles some cuss words but leaves reluctantly.
Another day, Emma comes barreling into the store, eyes watery and clearly furious. You recognize her from the times she’s been in before, and walk over, “Hey, you alright?”
She shakes her head, “Where’s my mom?” You check your phone for the time and frown slightly, “She’s driving to one of the corporate offices to pick up more uniforms, I’m really sorry.” Emma groans, “Can you just tell her I need to talk to her.”
You nod, and then on second thought, gesture to the break room, “Do you want to sit and wait for her?” Emma nods reluctantly, “Yeah okay.”
When the two of you sit down, she wipes her eyes roughly, “I’m sorry- It’s stupid.” You smile softly, “It’s probably not stupid, and I’ve probably been there. Do you wanna talk about it?”
She shakes her head, but then starts to explain anyway. She’d got in some sort of fight with her friends, and she was clearly convinced they’d never talk to her again. She’d failed her chemistry test and forgotten her PE uniform and just generally had the day from hell. Like forty minutes later, Amy walks into the break room to see the two of you sitting on the couch, giggling about some boy in Emma’s class and eating snacks from the vending machine.
- During a staff trip to the nearby zoo that Glenn insisted would be fun, despite the 80 degree weather, you realize you left your wallet at home. Amy scoffs when you admit you can’t get lunch, and orders a meal for you, waving off your promises to pay her back.
- You can’t help but be bummed as everyone walks through the gift shop, picking up various shirts and memorabilia. When everyone gets to the parking lot, Jonah taps you on the shoulder and reveals a stuffed tiger he’d somehow bought without you noticing. Before you can react, Amy exclaims a loud, “Jonah!” and reveals an identical stuffed tiger that she shoves into your arms.
More and more, you get closer with the three of them. Carpooling to and from work, going to Emma’s birthday parties, going shopping with Jonah even though he doesnt really understand it, matching halloween costumes at the store. Gaining your own little family.

Geeta Patel on helming House Of The Dragon’s slow-burning season finale
The director discusses pulling off Alicent and Rhaenyra’s reunion, those Game Of Thrones nods, and more
House Of The Dragon closes its second season without big battles or dragons setting cities ablaze. Despite that lack of action, “The Queen Who Ever Was” still feels monumental because of the charged reunion of Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and Alicent (Olivia Cooke) that promises to turn the tides when HBO’s drama returns in 2026.  
Their conversation isn’t in the source material Fire & Blood, and it’s not the only creative liberty HOTD takes in the finale. Another big swing comes in the form of Daemon (Matt Smith), whose latest haphazard vision features a cameo from a Targaryen family member and two major Game Of Thrones characters. Clearly, the Ryan Condal-created adaptation is attempting to pave a unique path for itself
To do so, the show entrusted Geeta Patel to bring these key moments to life. The director had previously helmed two other HOTD installments, along with episodes of Ahsoka, The Great, Dead To Me, Superstore, and The Mindy Project. This year, she also produced and directed Hulu’s true-crime drama Under The Bridge, which earned series star Lily Gladstone an Emmy nomination. 
The A.V. Club spoke to Patel about how she framed Rhaenyra and Alicent’s big talk, why Daemon’s visions were her favorite part of the episode, and going back to her roots with projects like UTB. 
The A.V. Club: When did you find out you would direct the season-two finale? What did you want to achieve in the episode? 
Geeta Patel: Ryan called me after I had finished working on my season-one episode “The Lord Of The Tides.” I wanted to do a good job on it so I was just happy that he was happy enough to invite me back. It was a very nice surprise to do the finale. After that, I got all the episodes, read them, and saw what needed to happen, which was that we needed it to feel like a big rising action moment. I challenged myself to bookend the season premiere, so I went back and watched that the theme of it was sacrifice for duty. So I kept looking for opportunities to come full circle on that theme in the finale. It’s all in the writing because [episode writer] Sara Hess and Ryan had already spent probably a year making sure of it. So it’s just my process of understanding and finding my way through it visually. I also just wanted to make sure that the scene between Alicent and Rhaenyra was building off of the scene in episode three, which I also directed, I don’t think coincidentally. Maybe that was Ryan’s intention that we were all working together again. 
AVC: You directed the only two scenes that Olivia and Emma share in the season. Their conversation in the finale carries way more emotional weight. What did you all want to evoke with their interaction here?
GP: We wanted to feel as if there was that sacrifice made for duty and that Rhaenyra is pressing Alicent against the wall to do what she’s never done before, which is to take action. What’s interesting is that these two women were friends to begin with, and then it became an eye-for-an-eye type of relationship. Now there is so much pain behind them that this scene is a wrestling match with pain and forgiveness. They both were telling themselves, “I’ve moved on. I can’t feel anything.” But all we saw was emotion. All we saw were these two friends who still loved each other and yet had gotten a divorce. And you ask yourself, Why are they both in this room again? 
It’s because they couldn’t stay away from each other. Yes, we can reason that it’s because of the kingdom and the realm. But when they come together, they are young girls again. Both actors together become a little juvenile and innocent with their facial expressions, like Olivia biting her nails again. Emma contours their face like a child with exaggeration. That made it grounded and real. My hat is off to Sara, whose writing brought so much humanity to the scene. It was like watching a great film with two people who’ve taken this long journey together. It could have been boring, but the writing made it nail-biting and heartfelt. 
AVC: At some points, they’re close and face-to-face, while at other times, Alicent is moving around almost manically while explaining herself. What was your directive to the actors? 
GP: It’s a very collaborative experience. When we work on a scene like this, we’ve had rehearsals beforehand where we talked about the point of the scene. I mean Ryan, Sara, Emma, Olivia, and myself. What we came to is that the shift in the scene is when Rhaenyra says, “A son for a son” and then Alicent agrees. That’s what we’re building to, so if we think about that tone-wise, we’re already at a 10. 
The truth is also when we started the rehearsal, Emma and Olivia are such talented actors, they ran through it and started walking, and I was just watching. There is something to be said about allowing the performers to just be the characters. I do this quite a bit as a director. I say, “Okay, go ahead, do whatever you want to do.” I check that one moment that we know is about the shift and make adjustments along the way, some of which are technical because we want to make sure we can make the day if we have too many camera moves. I also thought it was lovely that at one point, there was a silence between them, so I asked them to keep that and exaggerate it if they felt it was right. I just said, “Don’t worry, keep going; we’ll keep rolling.” So those moments were beautiful and came from the two actors and me experimenting within the parameters set out. 
AVC: What was it like to prep with Ryan and Sara for this critical scene? 
GP: Ryan and Sara are extraordinary in that they’re very easy to approach. One of the things I love about the show is we got all the episodes before we started shooting, so I would write all my notes and questions, mainly questions at that point. So much of what Ryan and Sara want for the show is between the lines. For example, in the first season when I did episode eight, it was about linear analysis between Rhaenyra and Alicent in that episode. I remember thinking even back then that they never say what they’re feeling, but it’s intentional. That’s a great part about Ryan’s vision for HOTD, and that’s why it’s so exciting to work on it because it feels very real even in a world with dragons in them. 
I asked them questions, but it was not for them to change the script. Instead, it’s for me to understand what’s intentionally not on the page. And then from there, we start molding the scenes together. I’m constantly checking in with them about what I’m thinking. I push their buttons and say, “No, no, but what about this?” Sometimes they’ll say things like, “No, you’re wrong” or “Okay, sure, let’s try it.” So, at that point, I’m trying to serve them and challenge their vision in a way. 
As we start shooting, we usually have rehearsals for the bigger scenes, and Ryan, Sara, or one of the writers would come to help us understand what the writers intended. A lot of times, what we found in the finale rehearsals is there’s something we needed [to set up] for season three, so it had to be this way. It’s valuable to have the writers there with you the whole time because they know more than we do. Or sometimes there’s a change to another episode, right? So then they’ll make sure that we check that. A lot of things in this episode had to do with the tone of the characters since we were introducing a few new ones. 
AVC: I presume one of the questions was about Daemon’s visions of things like Rhaenyra on the throne, him in the water, the Night King, and Daenerys. What went through your mind as you read it in the script about how you’d execute it? 
GP: In the script, it was exactly like that: a list of the moments in his vision, almost like bullet points. Ryan and Sara wanted it to feel fragmented. So my first question to them was [about] what they want out of it in terms of story because it’s such a visual moment. And they particularly didn’t want it to be too literal. So they wanted me to run with it. Their main point to me was that this vision has to change Daemon’s point of view. It has to tell him Rhaenyra belongs on the throne, and everything he’s been doing this season or thinking about how his wife is putting him down and he’ll never work for her isn’t true. He needs to see that he’s part of something bigger than him, which was a huge undertaking. [It was] a huge challenge for me that definitely had some sleepless nights involved because Daemon is inherently someone who only thinks about himself. He is not someone who learns lessons easily. So we needed this to be powerful, and yet there are no words in it until the very, very end. 
I sat down with the storyboard artist, took everything they told me, and started filling in the blanks of what I thought we needed to get to what they were saying, finding transitions visually between them to give it an organic feel. Ryan wanted the tone of this scene to feel like something specific to HOTD and unlike anything you’ve seen in fantasy television before, or even in Game Of Thrones. So I spent some time looking to give it that treatment. I was quite honored. That was one of my favorite moments in my career as a TV director, to give this my voice and put it together with the storyboard artists. Once we came up with it, I presented it to them. I’ll never forget that day.
AVC: What was it like to put Matt Smith and Phia Saban in a scene? We rarely see Daemon and Heleana together.
GP: It was fun to put them together, and I think they both enjoyed it too. It’s magical because Matt had been playing in this different dimension in season two.  For Daemon, it’s exciting to find someone who shares his powers. Phia has always played this person who is lost in her universe, and now there’s someone else in it. So it’s random, but it also makes sense. 
AVC: One of the new faces you introduce is Admiral Sharako Lohar, played by Abigail Thorn, who was originally a male character in the book. Her scenes with Tyland Lannister bring a degree of comic relief. Was it refreshing to have this aspect in the finale?
GP: What’s great about Sara is she also has a comedy background, and it comes across in her effervescent writing. As a director, I’m trying to take her writing and make sure that everything I’m doing with it works together along with lighting, blocking, and tone. The second film I made, Meet The Patels starring my brother Ravi, is about my family, and it’s a comedy. What I learned while working with him was that a lot of comedy came from improvisation, feeling very comfortable, and having the space to play. As I started directing TV comedies, I would constantly work with the actors in that way and try to support them and give them space to do many takes. I know sometimes people say, “Oh, this great director can get a scene in two takes.” That’s fine, but I do love pushing the actors to take advantage of their talents. So many actors might say, “I can’t improv,” and I look at them and reassure them and say, “I’ve got you; if it’s not good, I’ll throw it away.” 
So when it came to this finale, it was the same thing. I would say [to Abigail and Jefferson Hall], “Go ahead, let’s do this” and later move to, “Okay, now forget everything I said and do whatever you want.” It’s like an exercise in theater, and these are excellent performers. Matt Smith particularly also loves to play, as does Emma, and when they do, every take is different. As for Abigail, when the audition process started, I think Ryan knew she was the one. She was so great to work with. If you look at the Lohar scenes, you don’t know much about her background. Abigail and I wanted to make sure that her character felt very lived-in and had history. I wanted to give her all the tools she needed so that when she said something, it was coming from a deep, authentic place. We spent a few weeks on and off training, and she would improv moments of Lohar’s history. We had one of our esteemed dialect coaches play against her. We played out her childhood, who her mother, father, and sister might be, where her pain comes from, and everything leading up to this episode. It helped shape her voice, the way she moved, and her tonality.
AVC: The finale ends with a montage revealing where every character stands. It’s a big season-three setup. Were you nervous about pulling that off?
GP: With the final montage, my biggest fear was it would be boring because it’s so many images. I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t, as a director, treating everything similarly. We wanted the montage to have rising stakes for the impending war. When you have that many images, we need to keep up the pulse of the sequence. So the first thing I did was to ask myself if I could break it into three acts and what the shift point would be so it doesn’t all feel monotonous. The big thing I settled on was a sacrifice, which is Aegon. His placement had to come at the two-third mark. I had hoped it would give the montage its shape and sustain it. It also tells a story because, in the previous scene, Rhaenyra says to Alicent that she hasn’t sacrificed anything, and they decide it’s going to be a son for a son. The montage is to show everyone’s going to war, but Aegon has now left. So the stakes have changed. What’s going to happen now? It’s an interesting way to leave the season. 
AVC: This year also saw the release of Hulu’s Under The Bridge, which you directed and executive produced. What drew you to it? What was it like to bring personal experience along with your expertise to this undertaking? 
GP: Yeah, so I’ve been looking to do a pilot for a few years. There are exciting episodes like House Of The Dragon, of course, but I’ve been wanting to direct a pilot. When I read the script for Under The Bridge, about an Indian girl in Canada who was bullied and killed, I couldn’t stop crying. I was bullied around the same age of 14 for being Indian, and that still stays with me. It’s shaped me. I know UTB is a true story, and I felt so bad that it happened. At the time early on, the project was small and no big stars were attached to it yet. There wasn’t a lot of money for this project. While developing it, it was about what angle and perspective to take, and when that was done, I got the job of directing the pilot. 
The next thing was to make sure the performances felt real and that we were doing Reena Virk justice. I particularly had four young actors who hadn’t done much yet simply because of their ages; they were 12 to 15. None of them had done anything that resembled UTB’s tone, which was going to be very 8 Mile and Fish Tank. In a method similar to HOTD, I spent a few weeks and weekends workshopping the characters with the actors. We improvised their histories. It was very hard for the girls, and it was hard for me to watch. We also worked on their voices. Vritika Gupta, if you hear talk, it’s very sweet. When she’s playing Reena, her voice goes down. UTB was a labor of love. Again, I had a collaborative showrunner and studio. I said to them in the beginning that I can deliver a show that’s just like something you’ve seen before, or I can deliver what you want, but you’ve got to give me time to work with these talented actors. 
AVC: As someone who’s directed big-budget dramas, TV comedies, and gritty documentaries, how do you think playing in different genres has developed your skillset? What do you want to work on next? 
GP: I grew up going to India almost every year of my life, and I’ve constantly recognized a clash of cultures. So I’ve always wanted to work on topics of civil and social justice through my work, which is how I started in the documentary space. But then I realized quickly that doing it was preaching to the choir because a lot of liberals were watching the movies made by me, a liberal. So when I entered the entertainment industry, I planned to hone my skills and come back to doing those kinds of things and expanding my audience. I want to make a difference. So it’s been eight years that I’ve been trying to hone it. The three episodes of HOTD feel like the Olympics for me. It’s what I’ve wanted to do for years along with the comedies. 
Now it’s time for me to switch gears. I want to bring more South Asians to the screen. I am working specifically on stories like that, which have my voice, having now learned whatever I have. I have an entirely Gujarati language film I wrote because everything doesn’t have to be in English anymore. You can make shows and films from other backgrounds. I don’t mean a Hindi-language Bollywood film, but something even more different. I mean, we watched and loved Squid Games, right? So I’m going back to my roots to explore these topics of race and gender. I also want to make things that are classics that I could watch over and over again like When Harry Met Sally.

Dating Garrett McNeill - SFW alphabet
Tumblr media
{ note: barely proofread bc I wrote this quickly in my post-superstore haze!! also if it’s ooc for garrett sorry— I tried >:p
edit: it’s been proofreading to the best of my abilities now, there shouldn’t be any more typos!!
warnings: some passing mentions of racism, ableism & fatphobia (like, once)
reader: no gender is mentioned for the reader!!, Cloud 9 employee reader}
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
At first, Garrett was hesitant to be touchy with you. Sure, he flirts a lot, and he’s had a couple of sexual relationships, but… a genuine connection with someone is hard to come by. After the whole on-and-off friends-with-benefits dynamic he had with Dina, he’s trying to take things at his own pace the second time around. Finding love in the workplace isn’t impossible (I mean look at Jonah and Amy) but it is shaky ground for Garrett.
And yeah, he’s a bit nervous to climb the whole relationship ladder with you instead of just hook ups…but you were different.
You’re sweet, smart, you thought he was funny and you were pretty witty yourself. You were confident but not abrasive… he could go on. Most of all, you’re interested in him for him— not just his body.
Slowly but surely, he starts warming up to being physically affectionate… on your first date, when you kept missing the little smear of sauce on your cheek from dinner, he leaned across the table to wipe it off for you. His thumb lingered against your skin a bit…it was a small gesture, but it made his stomach flutter. Touching you made him feel warm, and giddy (not that he would tell anyone that.)
On your second date, he bumped his hand into yours when you both reached for some popcorn in the theatre. You both glanced at each other out of the corner of your eyes, smiling sheepishly.
He tried to play it cool but a few minutes later, (once the popcorn was finished) he brushed his hand against yours on the armrest. You took the hint and held his hand, which made him absurdly happy.
By your third date, he’s worked up to having his arm around you or his hand on your thigh… 🤭
It will take time for him to do these things at work or around his friends, but eventually he’ll be able to comfortably do more domestic things around others like brush hair out of your face or give you chaste kisses hello/goodbye when you clock in/out.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
The title of Garrett’s Best Friend is widely sought after, Randy held it for YEARS until Jonah snatched it up. (At work, you and Jonah still compete for the spot of Garrett’s #1 .)
You became friends when you started working at Cloud 9, along with Jonah and Mateo. He showed you around the store a bit and he gave you the whole spiel about who’s who, which made you feel more comfortable since the other new hires weren’t having the best first day.
Garrett was easy to get along with. Being close friends with him means hanging out whenever you can!
You usually swing by costumer service for fake reasons, like returning pens that didn’t belong to him so that you could talk during your shift. You liked listening to his announcements, and sometimes wrote quips for him to read on the intercom, slipping little in-jokes into his scripts to try to make him break.
The two of you would come up with little pranks to pull on Glenn, or games for your coworkers to play during boring days. Cart Racing, Scanner Wars, Customer Safari, you name it…
You’d keep each other in the loop about gossip and speculate about the goings on in the store. Who is the secret shopper? Would Mateo and Eric be a good couple? Is the cereal bar just Zephra buttering up the Cloud 9 staff? It’s all getting talked about.
You go together to any coworker events like Emma’s quinceañera and Amy’s Golden Globes party. (((Of course, you hang out outside of work too, often casual hangouts (which could include Jonah & Randy) like binging tv shows, gaming, going out to eat etc!)))
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
He would like to hold you close on the couch while watching tv, it makes him feel more comfortable and sometimes his warmth and gentle touch is enough to make you drift off to sleep which he thinks is very cute <3 He would have one arm around you while you’re curled into his side with your head on your chest.
In bed, he would want to spoon until you fall asleep (of course he would be the big spoon :3) His chin would be tucked into the space between your neck & shoulder, and his arms would be wrapped around your middle.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
He’s not necessarily known for his long term relationships, I feel like at first he would be scared to rush into things and would be overwhelmed by the idea of settling down with you. He wants to treat you right, and to make sure he’s really in love before he makes a commitment like that.
He does want a future with you but would date you for at least 3 years before even talking about marriage…just to make sure. He’s seen how marriage to the wrong person can make people miserable (Amy & Adam—) so he just wants to take it slow.
He’s pretty competent with cooking and cleaning.
He can make a few really solid meals, something hearty and comforting that still takes skill to pull of. I feel like he would be really proud of making a good pasta dish like fettuccine Alfredo, spaghetti carbonara, baked macaroni and cheese…
(It’s unclear to me if he really is Swedish & Norwegian or if he was just messing with Glenn, but just in case: he cooks prinskorv (sausages) around Christmas, and makes amazing lapskaus (stew.))
The two of you try to split the labour, like ‘you make dinner/I wash the dishes’ arrangements. In general he makes sure that he keeps tidy enough, though some tasks are more difficult to do if they are very high to like dusting cabinets or down low like washing the floors so you compromise.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
As he says, it’s best to just rip off the bandaid, he wouldn’t wait weeks or months after deciding that.
He’d make sure to tell you in person, not through text or over the phone because you deserve more than that.
He would want it to be in private, so he wouldn’t take you out on ‘one last date’, he would probably sit you down at his place and explain that he doesn’t think he doesn’t think the two of you should be together anymore.
He also would have pre-packed the things you gave him/he borrowed from you through the relationship so that you can take them back. He wouldn’t cry in front of you, or maybe at all, but he would tell you he’s sorry that it didn’t work out and wish you well. :(
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Commitment is intimidating to Garrett. It’s not that he doesn’t want to have a committed relationship, it’s just that he hasn’t had much luck with it before. When he was at his lowest points, he thought that he might never get to have a long term partner because he just wasn’t good at keeping them around. Since meeting you, he’s changed his tune. He absolutely wants to be committed to you, it just takes a while for him to accept that and carry it out.
He wants things to happen naturally and not feel forced, and it’s been going pretty well so far! The two of you started as friends and had an organic connection, slowly you grew closer until eventually there were stronger feelings there, you went on a few dates and ended up really enjoying them, and now you’re…together. It’s the exact situation that he would want!
That being said he wouldn’t want to even talk about marrying you until he was sure you were going to last. 3 years in he finally breached the conversation, and found out that you would be interested in marriage too! It would take a while for him to propose, maybe a year or 2 after that conversation… he likes to take it slow :)
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
I feel like in general his touch is pretty soft but not light necessarily. By that I mean, he’s not an aggressive or grabby guy, but he’s not the type to skim his fingers across your skin— it’s a full, direct touch.
Though if you’re needing some deeper pressure for relaxation or grounding, he’s the man to go to. He gives good, enveloping, solid hugs. He’ll rub your shoulders in a deep massage. He can hold and squeeze your hand tightly. It’s all up to what you need in the moment :)
Emotionally, yes I think he’s gentle. He likes to take things slow with you, and won’t push you or himself to do things that aren’t well thought out or truly wanted. He’s a bit shy about it, it’s not “manly” to be seen as gentle, but that’s really how he is. He’s a good guy with a big heart, it just takes some time for him to show it.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Garrett does like hugs! In public, he goes for more of a ‘side-hug’, to seem more casual. (He also likes having his arms around you do show that you’re taken 🙈)
In private, he likes long, squishy hugs.
If he’s hugging you, he’s fully wrapping his arms around you and holding you close to him. He’ll hug you for as long as you want/need and it feels safe and comfortable. He’s not crushing you or anything, but his arms are strong, and his chest is solid and you feel little compared to him.
If you’re hugging him, it usually because he’s tired or stressed. He likes to bury his face into your chest and breathe in your scent. Just hold him close and let him listen to your heartbeat as he starts to calm down…
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
It would take Garrett a while to say it to you, to him, it’s a big deal to tell someone he loves them. I would say probably 2 or 3 months… if that seems long to you, sorry, but that’s the time that he needs!
When he does tell you, it’s in a quiet moment. Maybe the two of you are getting ready for bed, and he sees you doing your skincare, or brushing your teeth— something simple. He just watches you, thinking about how beautiful you are, how much he likes spending time with you.
When you’re done, you turn around to face him. You tease him for staring at you, and ask him what’s up.
“Nothing, I just… I love you.”
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Garrett would pretend that he’s not jealous even though he is. Logically, he knows that he doesn’t have to worry about any of his coworkers sweeping you off your feet. I mean, what do they have that he doesn’t?
It’s the customers that he doesn’t always trust. Sometimes you’ll be giggling at one of their jokes while scanning their groceries, or having some friendly banter about how much it sucks to work retail.
(((Sandra (who’s bagging groceries) will tell you that you have to tell Garrett what you did, even though you obviously did NOT cheat on him.)))
He doesn’t like other people making you laugh :(
He would get pretty jealous if he thought a customer was funnier than him, especially if it’s a regular. He’s a sulky kind of jealous, and would be passive agressive about it. “I guess everything’s just hilarious today.” if it happened a lot. If you confront him about it he would totally deny. “Hah…I’m not jealous, okay? I’m funny, I’m a funny guy… it’s kind of my thing, so…”
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
I think he would be a pretty good kisser. He’s really receptive to you, and is good at gauging the mood. He can tell if it’s going to be slow and soft, or if you want to kick it up a notch.
I feel like he’s got some sort of secret technique down, but he’ll NEVER tell anyone because it sounds so dorky. Works like a charm though!
His lips are nice and soft, and his moustache/beard sometimes tickles or scratches your face :) He likes to kiss your lips most of all, but sometimes he’ll hold your hand and kiss the back of it or your knuckles <3 If things are escalating between you he’ll kiss your neck, and he likes the same from you. He also loves when you kiss his cheek around others!!
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Garrett is not amazing with kids.
Not really little kids, at least… he can…kind of handle babies, I mean he and Dina did run an impromptu daycare in the middle of the store. He thinks his coworkers’ children are cute…Rose, Parker, Harmonica, whoever.
But to truly feel comfortable with a child they have to be at least, like, 5 years old. By then they can play games and entertain themselves without too much input from him.
Overall, he’s better suited to talk to teenagers, as seen with the horny teen guy at Emma’s quinceañera (😭) and Sandra’s son Tony.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
He’s not really a morning person, if he can he loves to sleep in. He’ll hold you close in bed and ask for just 5 more minutes because he really doesn’t want to go to work. His morning voice is all gravely and cute so you indulge him if you have some time to spare.
When you finally convince him to get up, he grumbles and lazily pulls on his clothes.
You do your little morning routine together and if there’s enough time have a simple breakfast, like toast or cereal. If you like having a coffee/tea in the morning you guys can stop somewhere on your way to work, or get something from the cafeteria after you clock in :)
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
If the two of you aren’t dating, you’ll spend nights up late texting and sending memes back and forth. I feel like he’s the type to send you tons of Instagram reels that you gotta grade like it’s homework🫡
If you’re a gamer, you might spend a couple of hours playing whatever new game the two of you are into, but you’ll almost certainly log off before he does to catch some shut eye.
If you’re into it, he’ll call you (FaceTime, Skype, Discord, whatever) so you can talk more personally and “hang out” from home. Maybe you even fall asleep on the phone with him… who knows? 😇
If you do live together, it’s more quiet. I think Garrett likes to unwind after work and have a chill night at home on an average day. Make some dinner, watch some tv, something lowkey.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
It would take him a while to start getting more vulnerable with you and telling you personal information. About 4 months into the relationship he would finally start opening up to you and dropping the facade of the “cool guy.” He would tell you about his childhood, his family life, his past relationships… slowly over the course of your months and years together more and more would he revealed about his secrets, dreams, fears, etc.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
He doesn’t get angry with you easily, or often. Working in customer service has really taught him how to be patient.
He has answered hundreds of stupid questions, argued with rude costumers, and explained the same concept multiple times…He has patience with people he doesn’t even know or like, so he’ll go above and beyond for you (because he loves you.)
If he does eventually get frustrated with you he’ll probably just tell you that you’ll talk about it later and leave :/
When he calms down he’ll speak clearly about whatever the issue was, and hopefully resolve it.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He can’t easily recall tons of things you told him about your life before you started working at Cloud 9, like what high school you went to or all the names of your childhood pets…but Garrett tries extra hard to remember things that you’re particularly passionate about.
Your favourite music, movies, books etc. He likes to bring up these things in conversation, to show that he was listening. Like, “hey, did you see the new episode last night?” or “so how was the last chapter of that book?”
If you’ve been dating for a while, he’ll make you playlists of music that you like, or artists that sound similar :)
He knows your favourite/ comfort food and cooks/orders it for you when you’re sick or upset.
He remembers more of your likes than dislikes, but he does listen to your rants and pick up on your pet peeves. (Sometimes the best way to bond with someone is hating the same thing!)
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
I think his favourite moment with you was during the tornado— yes I know that’s weird but hear me out. It was a scary situation for everyone, and just as Jonah and Amy comforted each other, you and Garrett stuck by each other’s side the entire time. It kind of made him realize like… this is it, this is his person. And he doesn’t say that to you, I mean, you’re stressed enough as it is without him dropping the whole “you are the only person in this world I want to be with” bomb… it sounds crazy but it’s totally true, when he thinks about his favourite moment with you, it would be him holding you while everything around him tumbled to the ground…in all the chaos, the only constant was you. <33
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Garrett is protective of you, especially if he becomes jealous. He doesn’t want to feel like he could lose you to someone else, so if he can he’ll try to limit your interaction with them. If he sees a costumer is flirting with you, he’ll page you to costumer service, or announce there’s something to clean up in a different isle so you have to leave.
He would want you to be a little jealous too, just to show that you really care :)
If we’re taking protection more literally, he wouldn’t like, go back into an active fire to save you 💀 he would yell at you to evacuate and wheel his ass outta there. But if it was a situation where something was going to hit you, like a car, he would definitely push you out of the way.
As for you protecting him, be careful… you don’t want it to come off as if you have to babysit him, even though he’s disabled he can do shit for himself. He’s a grown man after all, he’ll manage. Even if you’re not trying to imply that he can’t, he could interpret it that way. Maybe he needs to learn to accept more help from others, there’s two sides to the coin here. To be safe, just ask him if he needs help or backup when something intense is happening.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Don’t expect Jonah-levels of effort, there will be no glow in the dark stars on your ceiling as a grand gesture of love. HOWEVER, Garrett can be sweet in his own, subtler ways.
He’ll slip little notes/jokes into your locker or lunch bag at work to make you smile. Nothing overly romantic but maybe some silly quote from a tv show the two of you are watching together, or something he wants to talk to you about on your break like “remind me to tell you about the new bunker in Dead Chaser 4.”
Sometimes he’ll buy you an extra snack or drink from break room vending machines, especially if you’ve had a rough day. After your shift he’ll drop you off at your car… over all he tries to distract you from how boring work is, and that doesn’t always involve store-wide employee games.
When dating he’ll take you to that movie that you’ve been wanting to see, or the new bar you’ve been meaning to check out. He knows you and will pay attention to what you like & loves showing you that he remembers!!
For an anniversary, he could go either way. If you wanted something fancier and more traditional— you know, nice dinner, candles, some sort of shiny jewelry— he’ll do it for you. If you wanna do something more out there, like axe throwing or something… fuck it, he’s in.
As for gifts he’s not big into handmade stuff, but he will splurge on your gifts! He’ll buy you the next edition of the series you’re into (could be movies, games, books/comics/manga, whatever!!) that you’ve been trying to save up for. Collectors items for your chosen media will also be his go to, another Funko Pop for your shelf, or Lego environment. Basically supporting your little nerd hobbies :)
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
You love Garrett, but he’s not perfect. Here are some of his bad habits….
⁃ He spends too much money on shoes
⁃ (He’s totally the type to lowball people and haggle on Facebook Marketplace for them)
⁃ He double texts you a lot and floods your dms with memes (like he did with Colleen)
⁃ He’s a loud gamer, and competitive. expect some shouting when he loses, and especially when he’s playing online because if his teammates let him down he’ll let them have it
⁃ (He also stays up really late doing it 😭)
⁃ He is passive aggressive, and avoids his issues until it all bubbles up. Obviously he’s sarcastic and sometimes that can get him into trouble if you’re not in the mood for it. Especially if the two of you are in an argument and he lets slip some sort of passive aggressive remark that he had been holding in until now
⁃ Does not take criticism well, either brushes it off or interprets it very personally
⁃ And when you hurt his feelings he won’t tell you until he’s at his breaking point, he lets it stew!! :(
⁃ Not good at being sentimental at first, and genuinely showing his emotions to you is going to be difficult when you’re first starting out… he will act very nonchalant about your relationship at first because he wants to seem cool…give it time
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Throughout his life, Garrett has received snide remarks about the way he looks. Some of them have been truly awful, like slights about being black, or being a wheelchair user. Even though race and physical abilities are horrible things for someone to discriminate against, he’s accepted that the world is unfortunately full of bigots and that it will happen sometimes. (Make no mistake, he will stand up for himself, but he’s not like enraged about it.) He cannot change these things about himself, and he wouldn’t even if he could, they are apart of him (but do not define him) and he’s proud of that.
People (mostly family) have commented about his weight, but even that doesn’t bother him anymore. There’s nothing wrong with being a bigger guy, and he keeps himself healthy (yes, it’s possible to be plus sized and fit!!) so it’s all water off a duck’s back.
By now, Garrett is pretty comfortable with his appearance. When he was younger he probably was more insecure about it, as all teenagers were, but he’s 40 now and he’s become more secure in himself since then.
…Except for his chin. Or, lack thereof? Seriously, after he shaved his beard off he was really insecure about it so just don’t say anything about it until it grows back.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
‘Incomplete’ is a bit strong….Garrett can handle being on his own, sometimes he even prefers it. He doesn’t need to be in a relationship to be fulfilled, so he won’t fall apart without one or anything.
However, before the two of you were together there was some…loneliness on his part. He fell into bit of a rut, working, coming home, playing video games, ordering pizza for dinner�� rinse and repeat.
Dating you introduced a fresh variable into his life, and it excited him that you brought new opportunities and experiences. Even if the two of you fell into a routine, it was way better to share that with you.
So, yes, he does feel more ‘whole’ since being with you and some of that would be lost if you were to (god forbid) break up.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
He mentioned to Colleen that he’s an anime fan, I feel like he’s the type to watch all of One Piece…not because he fully loves it, but because of the sunk cost fallacy! He’s invested too much time in it now to give up. Also, he loved Naruto when he was in high school— it’s just a right of passage.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Garrett needs balance. He doesn’t want someone who’s too clingy, but he doesn’t want to feel neglected. He doesn’t want someone that’s ignorant, but you can’t be a know it all. He doesn’t want someone who’s boring, but you shouldn’t be funnier than him! It’s going to be hard to find the happy medium at first…
He’s learned from the Nikki situation (the transphobic protester from s1), and is keeping his morals in check; he’ll do his homework on you to make sure you share his values, bigotry is inexcusable.
Most of all, he doesn’t want an off and on relationship with you, he’s done it before and it’s exhausting. Don’t give him mixed signals like Dina, don’t ghost him like Colleen, just be honest with him about what you want and you’ll figure it out together!
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
He’s a bit of a night owl, I can totally see him staying up till like, 5 am or pulling all nighters to grind on a video game.
When he does finally get to sleep, he needs it to be completely dark and has blackout curtains for this reason. He likes it to be cool so he keeps a fan on, it doubles as white noise for him so it’s a win.
He would like to sleep on his stomach because it’s the most comfortable position (fight me) but it’s horrible for his back so he sleeps on his side.
He has a king size bed, and sleeps in the middle, but if he’s with you then he’s on the left.
As for cuddling, he doesn’t like your limbs to be all tangled up throughout the night because he overheats easily, but is the type to spoon you to sleep if that’s what you like. He’s a heavy sleeper for sure and definitely snores a bit (but totally denies it) :)
{ note: and that’s it!! not sure how to tag properly but I did my best with it :) }

Since you want NSFW headcanon ideas: do any of the counselors use toys?
OH FUCK YES. i can use this to push another ryan agenda. hell yeah. thank you so much anon you've saved my life
did patience wane? by meowclops injected the concept of closeted monsterfucker ryan into my brain and i am just so violently passionate about it. he probably already wanted to fuck a werewolf pregame. i feel like he probably owns a decent collection of 4 or 5 monster-esque dildos and toys from one online shop he's very dedicated to. he usually gets them in dark red, maroon or black- he says they look sleeker that way
abi is much too shy to purchase any toys- she really wants to, though. she's worried about discreet packaging but she browses toy sites at least once a week and wistfully wishes she had the balls to order a vibrator
however, emma has a decent collection of very pretty toys that are more art than function- glass toys, for example- and once abi gets the courage to order a toy, emma offers to have it shipped to her house so they can try it out together so abi can pick it up comfortably.
kaitlyn owns a wide range of vibrators- she wants options. the only reason she owns any regular dildos is for her strap-on- which she only buys fun colors of because she hates flesh-colored dildos. and dildos with balls. she thinks balls are gross
dylan keeps losing his bottles of lube, buying new ones, and immediately finding the old ones ten minutes later. his record is six bottles in his bedroom drawer at once. his adhd is personally contributing to the sexual lubricant supply chain. on the topic of toys, i am genuinely so on the fence about if he would own a tenga product or not and it's kinda driving me crazy
jacob owns a singular silicone gas station cockring that's lasted him years for some reason. it's in rough shape but it does the job. he cleans it every time and keeps it in his pillowcase for privacy
nick doesn't own any toys or even lube, not because he doesn't want them, but because he's nervous about going to an adult superstore. he does not realize they can be purchased online.
laura is a huge, and i mean HUGE, fan of the strapless strap-on. she probably works out her kegel muscles just so she can use them more. she gets ones that vibrate on her side as well so she can have some sort of a phantom dick situation
max knew he was into anal play before he ever met laura- he owns a well-loved training set of buttplugs as well as a small dildo- not too small, just small enough to be simple. malewifing it up. laura had to slowly work him up to the size she prefers to top him with

Okay so, I saw this tiktok about a girl who was out with her dad and she got her first period while they were out and she was freaking out😭 but then the dad was freaking out and it was really funny.
Anyways it made me think about how Emma was when she got her first period? Did she freak out? I also think it was be hilarious if she were with Bucky when it happened. They would definitely call Peaches freaking out! 🤦‍♀️😭
Wait omggg awww😂
Oh dear God, I'm thinking about myself back then and I got my period soooo late, like I was literally the last one among my friends! 😂
There was a scene like that Superstore and this ask made me think of it! 😱 So they would definitely call Peaches! 😂 I feel like Emma was freaking out and Bucky called Becca while Emma was talking to Peaches, and sent his bodyguards to buy her like a HUGE cart of chocolates and sweets because Becca told him to 😂
He's one hundred percent her father figure 😂

Paused my heartstopper reread to be here (If you can't tell, the Aled Last obsession is still very much present and dominating)
I've done nothing very productive today and am feeling extremely guilty... anyway going to reread heartstopper and watch youtube after I shower.
(Wonder why there's guilt, huh?)
alright a nice question because I'm a mood to be nice:
if you could read one book, watch one movie, and see one show, again for the first time with no clue what happens, what would they be?
An eye for an eye because I want to answer this one myself tbh:
Book: Radio Silence because... yeah. Aled.
(Alternatively: The perks of being a wallflower)
Movie: I knew what happened in dead poets society whenever I first watched it so probably that.
Tv show: Carmen Sandiego.
No comment.
Have a lovely day
Morning usaaa (I want to kill my friends. I won’t. But I want to)
I feel honoured that you think I’m better to talk to than Heartstopper (you’re wrong) enjoy your day dude!! It doesn’t matter if it isn’t productive!!
Book: Crimson Rivers ngl. I’d sell my soul to read it for the first time again (idk if this counts so alternatively Halts Peril)
Show: Superstore
Movie: West Memphis Three (more of a docco than a movie tbh)
did you see Emma Myers was cast as Pip in Good Girls Guide to Murder?? It was the first thing I saw after opening Instagram and I have no regrets. I’m excited to see who they cast as Ravi
Sweet Dreams <3

books or films?
an unusual song that’s your favorite?
your first celebrity crush?
a netflix series that’s your favorite?
used to be books, but now i REALLY don't get time so I watch films, so for that reason I'm gonna say films
Idk if it's unusual, but lately the most played song in my Spotify is Moonlight by Kuoga. And Elko. It just hits that spot🤌 actually I'm gonna give a few because I love a couple of songs that are *chefs kiss* to me rn Riverbound by Comaduster, Mari Kattman and ULTRAnumb - Acoustic by Blue Stahli
Emma Watson (and then Alexandra Daddario)
I don't really have a favorite? But if you'd ask me to recommend you something, Love, Death and Robots (I am IN LOVE with the animation styles, the story lines, the soundtrack, everything) is my go-to pick. But that's a bit for maybe mature audiences(?) so other than that Brooklyn Nine Nine , Superstore, Breaking Bad (also maybe for a bit mature audiences)
