The voicemail Carlos gets after TK finds out Paul is ordained

"BABY! Textmeassoonasyoucan *takes breath* you'll never guess what I just found out! Paul is ORDAINED! He can MARRY US! Whatdoyouthink? I think it's perfect, don't you? ITS AMAZING! IT'S PERFECT!" *Alarm goes off in the background* "crap gotta go ILOVEYOUSOMUCH! Please lemme know what you think!"

Carlos texts back "❤️ yes. Let's ask him together. Maybe actually get the chance for a heartfelt speech this time 😉"

[eclectic-sassycoweyes]

I have this general but also maybe oddly specific headcanon that Carlos is an announcer.

Like, bc he likes to be in control and to think and plan before he acts and speaks. He likes his environment being somewhat in his control, and foreseeable.

So when his body is going to do something he can’t control he ✨announces✨ it. TK thinks it’s the most funny and endearing thing.

(Trigger warning for mention of throwing up I put that it [] so you can skip that if you want to)

Like, say they’re at the pool ⛱️🕶️ and let’s say the others have convinced him to participate in shenanigans like trying to balance on a floaty or each other’s shoulders. Right before he inevitably falls or even while he’s actively falling he’ll be yelling out “GaahhImgonnafall!” In that same voice as his “Ohmygod” when he finds out Lou II is sitting on him, while TK is absolutely cracking up🤣

[[When he’s sick🥺 and going to be sick and very obviously about to, with TK rubbing his back and he’ll still have time to say “I’mgnathrowup” and TK, sympathetically, will just keep rubbing his back and say “I know baby, it’s okay.”🥺]]

When he and TK are snuggling on the couch and Carlos is about to sneeze, Carlos will have taken the gasping breath in,. Be making the sneezing face you know the one that’s a combo between 🤨😲🥴 and TK will raise his head a little from where it was resting on his chest and just be looking at him like, amused, raised eyebrows because he knows he’s gonna say it, and Carlos knows why the face, that TK is expecting it and he might even try and hold it back, but still, right before he sneezes, on instinct he announces “I’mgonnasneeze!” And they both collapse into laughter🤣🥰

And! When he’s going to come…. He might double or even triple announce it. One “I’m close” followed by the second “I’m gonna come” and sometimes he’ll go for the third “I’m coming!!”. He does it less and less the more comfortable he’s gotten with TK, but, TK also finds it very hot actually and gets crazy turned on and brought to the brink himself hearing those words so he definitely hasn’t laid off the habit completely. By now it’s just less of a question/warning and more a, well, announcement just bc it drives TK wild😏

TK and Carlos both have one (1!) guilty pleasure - individually and as a couple.

What are they?

I had to have a long think on this because it really is such an interesting question.

Guilty Pleasure as a Couple: Watching Romantic Comedies together the more cliche the better. TK is the one who gets Carlos hooked on watching them. TK always laughs and finds them funny and adorable. Carlos, more often than not because a hopeless romantic, ends up crying by the end of it - he just believes in love so much. They were 100% the first in line to see Bros at their local theater, both thrilled beyond words about there being a gay Rom Com. They both end up crying at the end of that.

TK's Guilty Pleasure: Listening to Billie Eilish. People know that he listens to her, but he still claims that it's a guilty pleasure. He knows all of her songs, little fun facts about her and has most definitely been to a concert or two. She is his to listening when he's having a rough day or is upset about something.

Carlos' Guilty Pleasure: Carlos likes trashy, reality shows. It's something he even hid from TK for awhile because it's not necessarily good TV. But sometimes Carlos just wants to shut his brain off and watch something stupid. His favorite is Jersey Shore and he goes back and watches the repeats a lot.

Send me asks!

I’m at the hospital visiting my great aunt and I’m chatting with the guy she’s in a room with through the curtain and the brain rot is real lmao I’m imagining a tarlos AU where they get to know each other from neighbouring hospital beds over the course of a week but dont know what the other looks like

[literateowl]

Hello! I voted early and all I got is a future voter sticker 😔 but I also found a picture of the normal stickers people were getting!

I would love to request a tarlos headcanon or drabble! Whichever you’d prefer ☺️💕

Oh wonderful! Thank you for voting 💜 honestly it's great that so many people showed up that they ran out of stickers and had to give you a different one.

Here is a headcanon for you 🥰

Even now when he's a married man Carlos still runs around meticulously cleaning the already clean loft when someone says they want to stop by, especially if it's either of their parents.

TK doesn't really get it, having lived with his parents for so long and spending 24 hours at a time sometimes with his friends. But he helps anyway by making sure all the things on the kitchen and table are neat and tidy and also following Carlos around reminding him to breathe and that they won't be judged for having a speck of dust on their bookshelf.

If you want to participate in my election day show and tell all the info is in this post

[eclectic-sassycoweyes]

Just saw a video of a guy holding his bearded dragon up to a huge spider with the caption “when you don’t have to call pest control because you have a bearded dragon” and, new headcanon unlocked!: this is one of the ways Carlos comes to love and appreciate Lou II and to not be afraid of holding him. Because holding Lou II is less scary than dealing with a huge spider when TK isn’t home.

Carlos @ Lou II: ‘okay. I’m going to pick you up now but you have to do this for me buddy. Remember, we’re a team. No escaping, no sudden movements. Please be nice’.

Lou II @ Carlos: O.O

And now Lou II is Carlos’ lil’ helper for dealing with bugs when TK isn’t home 🥰🦎🦎

[heartstringsduet]

You would find these two slow dancing to Lover, shaking things off, screaming to Ready For it, damp-eyed at Anti-Hero and letting their Bejeweled. Also, TK clearly talked Carlos into both Taylor Swift and into the outfit and he has a billion photos on his phone of Carlos in it.

Happy Birthday @alltheprettyplaces, this one's for you. I can't wait to dance and cry in Vienna with you. 💗

[rosedavid]

Okay but what if instead of having children, TK and Carlos become Animal People. It was only a matter of time, what with TK's adoration of all animals. And Carlos had always enjoyed most animals (not the the degree of TK and his bringing home a flesh eating lizard, but still). Of course, it began with Lou II, but overtime, and often unintentionally, they began gathering more and more pets.

Most of them were TK’s fault. There was that stray kitten TK found trapped in a gutter on a call who he couldn't bear to part with. And TK finds an injured bird outside that he insists they nurse back to health and release. But then, there's an old police dog who needs rehoming and Carlos has always wanted a dog, so they gain yet another furry friend.

Eventually, they have to leave the loft because their lease doesn't allow for all of them, and as hard as TK tries, he can’t pass off a cat and a German Shepherd as the same pet.

And once they get more space, along with all the animals they adopt over the years, they also foster and take-in animals in need when they can. Carlos makes TK promise not to adopt any stray they foster (he breaks that promise immediately). Still, they do have animals come and go. They even foster a snake for a brief period of time which Carlos refuses to be within a few feet of.

And soon they have this little family, maybe not in the conventional way, but they are both dads to plenty of pets who they treat like children anyway.

[kai-in-the-korner]

just a lil thought

whenever Carlos is cooking dinner, tk will sneak up behind him and just hold him and kiss his neck while simultaneously getting underfoot

[rhondashawarma]

I adore the everloving fuck out of the proposal scene in 3×18 buuut, it would've been hilarious if, when T.K says "I'll just leave everything to my husband", Carlos had responded with "Wait you're married too?" And the season ends with it cutting to black there. Now that I typed this out doesn’t seem that funny but yeah.

[carlos-in-glasses]

Happy New Year everybody and thank you for the tag @strandnreyes and @chicgeekgirl89 🩷 One more Seven Sentence Sunday for the 2023 road! Anyone else having a cosy NYE at home?

Chapter 8: Your Heart, As If It Was My Very Own of Where All This Love Comes From is now up on Ao3, so this is from Chapter 9: Coffee with Gutiérrez.

“Gabriel didn’t understand how people can play for the other team. He also loved you. Both things can be true, even if it’s confusing. From my point of view, I say live-and-let-live and fly the flag, power to the people, whatever. But then, I also slept with a guy in college.”

“You did?” Carlos leans forward, keen for all the information.

“He looked like River Phoenix. I pretty much cartwheel up and down the Kinsey Scale.” Gutiérrez wafts a hand back and forth, as if to represent a laid-back flipflop of sexuality. “I met my ex-wife a few weeks later, and that was that.”

“Fair enough,” Carlos says as he goes to take another sip of coffee.

“So, I’m open minded. And that’s what your dad did – he talked to people who were open minded. I guess, bit by bit, by the time you met your husband, he was feeling better about it all. The fact that he wasn’t seeking an echo chamber should mean something to you.
