#totally valid if you don’t want to watch because those are very offputting

[sewerratzz]

finch give me like a v short synopsis of always sunny in Philadelphia and then link like ur fav always sunny in Philadelphia fics uve written so i can read it please

ohmigosh you have given me a huge challenge here OKAY SO

very basic is that Always Sunny is about this group of people that absolutely suck !! and like, it's not even like they're nice to each other (well. sometimes. most of the time no), they literally are just the worst people ever. like this perfectly sums up this group

this is The Gang. in order, their names are Charlie Kelly, Dee Reynolds, Frank Reynolds, Dennis Reynolds, and Ronald "Mac" McDonald. yes his name is ronald mcdonald. the reveal of this being his name is hilarious

they all have many issues. like so many. severe issues. they refuse to acknowledge them or deal with them or change at all.

[ofc you don't necessarily have to watch the show before reading my fics but i will always reccomend watching it in general because i love this show an unhealthy amount. Charlie is literally why my url is sewerratzz & the reason my first chosen name was charlie. i <3 him hes my fav]

there's not really much plot at all to this show. it's just stuff happening. it's great & i love it

most of my sunny fics are Charlie/Mac, so a brief exposition for their relationship is that they both have horrible home lives and parents, and they've been each other's best & only friend since elementary school. god early seasons charmac save me. they have many moments throughout the show of being sweet to each other and they're my favourites

one fic of mine i love very much is a Deetress fic, so more exposition !! this ship is Dee [see above] and The Waitress, pictured here

she doesn't have a name in the show/in canon she is literally called the waitress since season 1. i also love her. she also sucks now !! she didn't before but the gang happened and she's really. yikes. poor her yk? she has a history with quite literally everyone in the gang, has slept with all of them (except dee. but you know, they're totally lesbians and if you watch the show they have 100% hate-fucked. TECHNICALLY HEADCANON BUT. yk. subtext :p) and Charlie specifically has stalked her for. years and years.

now my fics :p

Word Count: 1877 REQUEST:  Can you do a Joven x reader with prompt 46 as like a smosh ganes goes to Disney or Harry Potter world and the reader is new but tags along and Joven finally warms up to them? - anon

You didn’t know what you did but as you sat in the van on the way to Disney, you were feeling less than the happiest you’ve been in a while. You might have just been being sensitive but when everyone but one person had welcomed you with open arms, you were less than thrilled. 

Joven, one of the older members of Smosh Games, hadn’t been as keen to meet you or even warm up to you in the two weeks you had been here. You had heard about how friendly everyone would be and it was just a downer when one person seemed to not like you very much. 

You shook it off, however, because you were going to Disney with the people you had quickly become fast friends with. 

The way you had started to work for Smosh was not much unlike how Damien had, you were a low-level video editor for a company that didn’t give two shits about their employees and you had met Courtney when she put out a private ad for a part-time video editor. Long story short, Courtney hired you and you became more friends than having a boss-worker relationship and she recommended you to Smosh. 

They hired you as an editor but you soon started to appear in videos for Smosh Pit and occasionally acting as an extra for regular Smosh comedy sketches. It wasn’t until Smosh Summer Games that you had really met anyone from Smosh Games. Up until then, you only knew them from seeing their faces in the gaming content you got to edit.

Now, you were sat in a packed white van with those members. While the squad was off filming at an outdoor location, you had been scheduled to film a type of vlog at Disney. 

Well, the choice was between a day at the office and Disney and the latter won the vote. Obviously. 

You were sat between Mari and Damien, talking softly with the both of them. The rest of the crew were wrapped up in their own conversations, taking no notice when you asked Mari and Damien the question that had been harping at your mind for hours.

“Does Joven not like me?”

Mari stopped her snacking, her hand halfway into a chip bag. Her hand came out of the bag and she wiped her hand on a tissue, a worried look taking over her features. “No, he does like you. Why do you ask?”

“I don’t know, he just doesn’t give me the vide that he likes me very much,” you shook your head. “Sorry, ignore me.”

Damien closed his book, using his finger to bookmark his page. “No, this is a totally valid worry. I know Joven can seem offputting but there’s no doubt that he likes you.”

“I just feel like the way I joined was really unconventional and I don’t wanna seem like I’m intruding or,” you trailed off, biting your lip. 

Mari put her hand on your thigh and patted it, reassuring you that you were not intruding and that they were all happy to have you there. She went back to eating her chips, “Besides if Joven really didn’t like you he would make it known by actually telling you. He’s not very good at hiding his hatred.”

While what Mari had told you had put you more at ease, you still liked to think the worse. When you had all gotten to Disney and practically stumbled out of the van, you had accidentally stumbled into Wes who then bumped into Joven, causing Joven to stare at both of you incredulously. It wasn’t a bad look, per se. It was just not the look you would’ve wanted.

When you were in the park, you were sent into two different groups in order to capture as much footage for the day that would probably result in a roughly five-minute video after all the boring content like waiting in line and walking had been cut out. 

After deciding to stay with Mari and the groups had separated, you felt a sinking feeling in your stomach as you looked at Joven who stood there with his bucket hat and glasses, staring in the direction of the sun. Mari then proceeded to link arms with you and skip towards the man staring defiantly into the sun. 

“Where to first?”

By the end of the day with both cameras on red, you had piled back into the car. You felt better about everything, considering you had somehow gotten stuck sitting in the same row as Joven. 

It was you and Joven in the back, Wes and Damien in the middle, and Mari and Courtney in the front. The case of water that had taken up a seat was gone now which allowed you all to spread out. You almost considered how you all had drunk so much water that day before remembering the other van that held some of the crew members that had gone with you all in lieu of the squad. 

You were quiet for a few minutes before Matt Raub had announced that you would be pulling over to get gas. You watched as the van pulled up to the pump and everyone piled out once again. Everyone decided the buddy system would be your best bet, Mari and Courtney heading off to the bathrooms and Damien and Wes immediately booking it for the gas-station snacks. 

You and Joven had settled on a slow walk around the station, neither of you really hungry or really needing to use the bathrooms. You talked a little bit about Joven’s time with Smosh though he hadn’t really seemed to want to talk at all. You eventually stopped talking and just enjoy the walk you were sharing together. 

As you rounded the corner, you saw everyone piling back into the van and you started getting anxious. “They better not fucking leave us or I swear Matt Raub is gonna face some legal charges.”

You heard a chuckle come from your side and you turned your head to see a man with an infectious smile on his face. Your face fell slack as you stared at him in awe. “Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?”

He shook his head, the smile still stuck on his face. “What could you possibly mean?”

You threw your hands up in the air and let out a noise that slightly resembled a cat being strangled. “I went this whole day thinking that you hated me!”

“What?” he looked at you like you were insane. “Why would you think I hated you?”

“I don’t know you seemed so distant and you were kind of avoiding me a whole lot,” you shook your head. “And I was way overthinking things and blowing them wildly out of proportion.”

“Well now that that’s cleared up, what do you say to running to catch our friends because Matt Raub might actually leave us here,” Joven pointed at the van that was slowly pulling up to the exit area. You swore under your breath, cursing Matt Raub and all that he stood for before hiking up your shorts and dashing off toward the van with Joven not that far behind you. 

You crashed into the side, hands pressed firmly on the back passenger seat window. So what you might’ve scared Courtney into another life, they would not be leaving without you two. Not with your phone dead and your power bank in the car. No way.

You heard Matt laugh and unlock the car door allowing you to slide it open. You shot the man a look that read, I will kill you and everyone you’ve ever come to love. 

You and Joven clambered into the very back, everyone refusing to move back to allow you getting in any easier. 

“We thought you were both asleep in the back,” came the excuse. You knew that if they actually thought that, they would’ve been long gone by then. 

“I’m quitting,” came Joven’s sarcastic response, a playful venom in his words. You knew that you’d all joke about how you and Joven nearly got left at a gas station in the future so you let it slide, settling into the back seat for the long drive home. 

You plugged your phone in and the second it came back to life, you groaned out in what only could be described as misery. “Fuck,” you swore, furiously typing on your small illuminated keypad. 

“What’s wrong?” Joven lent over to read your screen and you let him. 

“My roommate decided to go back to visit her mom thinking I’d be out longer than a day though I specifically told her that I would need a ride home. She even said she’d be up to it,” you were halfway through typing your angry response when a hand covered your screen and pushed it away from your face. 

“First, anger won’t solve anything now. Second, I could drive you home no problem. I know you don’t live far from me,” Joven said matter-of-factly.

You gave him a look, “How do you know where I live?”

“I may or may not see you leaving right before me every morning.”

You snorted, tucking your phone away. “And what does your wife think of that?”

“She thinks it’s laughable how someone working for Smosh at the same job as I do manages to leave the house before me,” Joven laughed. “But really, I could drive you home no problem.”

“That’s really great, yeah thank you,” you smiled and pulled your sweater sleeves over your hands.

“And while you’re at it, maybe it’s time to move on from the roommate. I know it’s not my place but I do know this isn’t the first time this has happened. You get paid well enough to live on your own in the area we live in and I don’t think your pay will be going down anytime soon seeing as you’re basically doing what Wes did a few years back but less stressful.”

You nodded, “Yeah, Rebecca’s a sucky roommate anyways. But I’d feel bad just leaving her out like that.”

“You always complain about her being away so she never does any of the household stuff, where does she go?”

“To her boyfriend’s.”

“Problem solved, she goes to live with her boyfriend.”

You were silent, listening in on the other’s conversations. “I don’t know why I thought you hated me when we’re getting along so well right now.”

“I don’t know either, I mean I’m awesome.”

You lightly slapped his shoulder, laughing, “You keep telling yourself that, Old Man.”

“If I’m an old man, what does that make you? A baby?”

“Yes, of course! What else would I be?”

The time flew by and soon enough you were back at the office. You all left the van, waving goodbye to Matt as he left to go park it. Joven led you to his car, pulled out of the parking garage and drove until the office was out of the rearview mirror. 

Joven dropped you off at home with promises of dinners at his place in the future and you left his car with a smile.

[datingadviceonreddit]

Hey everyone. I'm looking for some opinions on how to go about my life and dating. Men, women, or whatever you identify as. All of your opinions are welcome. Don't hold back. Be blunt and honest. I'm a big boy and can take some criticism.I'm 27. I am about to lose everything. My girlfriend of 4+ years who I moved to Denver for just broke up with me a week ago and is moving out and taking the dog. Shit is brutal. I've cried. I've been insanely depressed. I have felt hopeless. Then after a very positive conversation with a very positive friend, a switch flipped. I realized how much I have to offer and what a catch I am. Oddly enough, I've never been more confident. I completely understand that I'm riding an emotional roller coaster right now, so I'm just looking for some validation that I'm on the right path.I took time off work to get away and hopped on a flight and came home to see friends and family. I'm not going to lie. I have been doing a good amount of drinking with the boys and bullshitting, but I've felt like a man again. I've looked back at my ex and seen things I don't like, and have seen how much I was not valued as an individual. I certainly took her for granted as well and can fully admit I didn't give as much effort to date her and make her feel special and be as empathetic as I should be. She claimed to want a real man, but wasn't very good at accepting criticism or being disagreed with. I found myself putting up with way too much shit, just to avoid arguments. I think she wanted a doormat and I think I lost my balls for a while.Anyway, that is a little bit of background on the situation. Back to how I'm feeling now. I've been going up to girls at bars and starting all sorts of conversations. Just quick-thinking wit and charm is the only way I can describe it. I have not been looking to get laid. My girlfriend is going to be my ex after our conversation tomorrow when I get back in town. However, I've never cheated on anyone in my life and I'm not even trying to pull that shit. We are going to end, but I have enough respect for her and myself to not be that guy. Plus, I still had a lot of thinking to do and I'm not sure some strange would have been the wisest thing.I've shown an insane amount of confidence. I'm not trying to make myself sound really cool or anything. I don't think I'm cocky. I'm keeping things light and just straight up putting smiles on girls faces and making them laugh. I am not trying to get laid. I'm trying to go out and have fun experiences and meet new people.A buddy the other night pulled the "Have you met Andrew?" move (I'm Andrew) on some really pretty blonde. It sparked a really funny conversation and her and I ended up chatting even after she flashed her ring at us. She had a smile on her face the entire time and was loving the group’s energy. I wasn't trying to lay out all of my problems to her, but I did fill her in on my situation and asked her some advice on a topic my friends and I were discussing. We were talking about how taken guys tend to be attractive to women when going out. I feel like I always got more attention from women when I wasn't trying and just going out and having fun, because I had a significant other. I believe laughter, positivity, and a good time tends to attract women. When I used to be single (we met at the end of college), I just remember putting so much pressure on myself to get laid and I struck out constantly. I'm a good-looking guy and very fit, but I was just super nervous and wasn’t even close to being as comfortable with myself as I am now.Anyway, the question was wondering how women prefer to be approached. In my mind, hot women get approached constantly and hear the same bullshit. There are pick-up lines. There is the boring "What do you do?". I want to know what you do for a living but I want to know what makes you you and have a good time with YOU. I wondered if this was the right approach. I said these things to her and she confirmed that I was handsome and confident, and if she was single she'd definitely want to talk to me and would be interested.I had another experience last night of talking to a really attractive girl. I think I was trying to flirt with her at first. I don’t even remember how it started but her boyfriend eventually showed up and I ended up making friends with the both of them and having a good conversation. My positivity was inviting to both of them and we had a great time. I asked this girl the question about how to approach women as well. She confirmed I was handsome and would totally be into me if she was single and would have loved how I went about approaching her. She was very handsy with me and might have actually been attracted to me, but she seemed happy in her relationship. I’m not trying to be that guy and respected her relationship, but it did feel good to know a girl that fun and gorgeous liked who I was. She seemed like a great girl. We were all talking for so long that I think my buddy saw from a distance, knowing what I was going through, and came up assuming I was bothering them. I think he tried to apologize for me or something like that. The girl shot me a look of “who the hell is this guy?” and confirmed I’m cool. No problem here. She even later said don’t be like him, LOL. Basically I feel like I am acting completely different from how most people do, and I’m loving it.I just watched the movie Everybody Wants Some and took a whole lot of life lessons from it. I found a lot of the characters to be very admirable, particularly Finn. I see a lot of him in myself. An alpha, but not in the way that many people think. An intellectual jock who isn’t afraid to live in the moment, show his strength and vulnerability, isn’t afraid to be sarcastic and funny and say outrageous things, but never be an asshole to people. A character in the movie says a quote that really stuck with me. As someone who embraces the weird, this rang true. He said, “We’re fucking weird man. We’re different. The trick is you can’t fight it. You gotta accept it. You gotta embrace your inner strange, just be fucking weird, and when you do that, you bring who you are, never who they want, and that my friend, is when it gets fun”.I'm well spoken. I know exactly who I am and what I believe in and I don't sweat the small stuff. I have a good job. I'm a great athlete. I love having a good time and usually have a smile on my face. I can admit my flaws and take responsibility for my mistakes. I can have a conversation with someone and disagree with them respectfully, while also considering their opinion. For all I know, maybe you will change my mind. If not, you are entitled to your own opinion on ANYTHING and I respect that. I choose my battles. I’m more than willing to say I’m sorry in an argument, even if I feel like I didn’t do anything wrong. That’s not because I’m a pussy. That’s because I realize maybe I raised my voice or didn’t communicate effectively. That’s because I can put emotions aside and take a look at things and realize I would rather end this and enjoy the rest of the night, because is this tension really worth it over DISHES(insert anything silly couples fight about)!?!? I feel like those are all very admirable qualities and I’m proud to have them.So Redditors, I’m about to embark on a journey that’s going to have its ups and downs, but I feel confident about who I am and feel like I have a lot to offer, and if you don’t like it, that’s cool too. The bar scene is not my thing. I loved staying in on Friday nights and making drinks and watching movies with my favorite person, BUT now I’m rolling with the punches and making what is best of the cards I’ve been dealt. I know this post is very long, and as I typed it it just became more of a venting session. I appreciate you reading through it and hope maybe you got something out of it as well. Below is a summary of what I want answered.Am I going about all of this the right way?At a bar, as a girl being hit on all of the time, would talking to someone genuine and different like me be refreshing? Would you rather have someone serious?What is the etiquette for asking for numbers or dates in a normal everyday setting? If I see a pretty girl walking down the street and I walk up and ask a really silly and out of the blue question with a smile on my face and some charm and confidence, would you be offput? Is it too much if I start like that and then say, “But really I just thought you were really pretty and wondered if you wanted to grab a beer sometime”. I understand getting hit on can get annoying, so that’s why I try and keep a positive vibe and smile on my face and make you laugh. I want you to know I’m not a creep and I’m a fun time. If you don’t like me that’s cool. I’ll leave you alone. IMO having a stranger walk up and make you feel good about yourself or give you a conversation NOBODY else would is something that makes you memorable and unique. It’s not the worst thing to try and put a smile on someone’s face. If you can’t see that, I can’t see myself with you.Thank you all for reading. I look forward to the responses. via /r/dating_advice
