TREV ITS TREV OOOUAAAGGHHHH

[boigrsmashorpass]

[leikeliscomet]

The only and I mean ONLY thing I've gotten out my Joy To The World rewatch is that I think the whole thing was (trying to be) a metaphor for hope to essential workers & ordinary people in the pandemic & lockdown:

All the cast are essential workers or normal people. Trev's a host, Anita's a hotel manager, Silurian guy's a hotel manager and bartender guy does what he says on the tin. Everyone else is just customers.

The suitcase latches onto people person to person, 'transmits' the upload & kills them but no one knew how it 'spread' at first. Joy's anger & self awareness about the govt in lockdown saves her life. Villengard could've prevented the spread on normal people but chose not to.

Fifteen's year involves him doing essential work in hospitality, catering & maintenance. His 'payment' for staying in the hotel is work. His main & only friend is Anita, a hotel manager. He's inside a year, doesn't talk to Ruby & self reflects.

When he gets out he's on the other end of his rant. As past Fifteen he was annoyed but now we 'get it' so its hurtful watching him lash out at himself. He doesn't understand staying inside for that year is important & 'saving' his life for the paradox.

The algorithm is made up of all the essential workers we saw before. Joy becomes the star filled with all those other uploaded people. Joy is made of ordinary people. Ordinary people create Joy.

***Generic disclaimer about how I wasn't on Steven Moffat's personal Google drive when he wrote the script and i have no idea if this was the plan all along & this is just my theory/cope of what we all just watched dont jump me thank yewww 🙏🏾

[goldfades]

can we have some touchy trevor content? I feel like that man would not be able to keep his hands off of you even in public and it’s making me kick my feet & giggle

you are so right nonnie, pda is sooooo trevor

─ warnings | slightly suggestive??? alex being a third wheel (poor bby), trevor venting and being a yapper, fluffy, nothing else?

"hey and that's exactly what i told him, and what did he do? not listen to me, per usual." trevor sighed as he pulled you closer to him, his arm around you and his hand gripped your thigh.

you were nestled into trevor's chest as he ranted enthusiastically to alex, you felt the warmth of trevor's chest against your cheek as he spoke. his voice frustrated. despite his exasperation, there was a sense of comfort in his touch, his arm around you like a protective shield.

"yeah, i mean, what's a guy gotta do to get a little respect around here?" trevor exclaimed, throwing his hands up in exasperation. "the guy's a fucking klutz. how he managed to get in the nhl will forever be a mystery to me."

alex nodded and continued drinking his beer, "he's a blonde, that's probably why he's such an idiot."

trevor continued to grip your thigh, ignoring the looks he'd got from alex. pda was your guys' thing, but tonight it seemed like trevor was feeling a little more touchy (if that was even possible).

trevor frustration seemed to boil over as he scoffed, "seriously though, it's like they don't even see me out there. i bust my ass every game, and what do i get? bench time. meanwhile, mr. butterfingers over there gets all the spotlight."

his grip on your thigh was firmer, almost possessive, as if he sought reassurance and comfort in physical contact. his fingers traced absent-minded patterns on your skin, a subconscious gesture.

the looks from alex didn't deter trevor; if anything, they seemed to fuel his need for closeness. pda had always been a part of your relationship, a way to express affection in public. but tonight, it felt like he was clinging to you, seeking refuge from the challenges he faced on the ice.

"don't even worry about it, buddy. they know you're a great player and it'll be fine, don't let 'em get to your head." alex spoke as he continued drinking the beer.

trevor's grip on your thigh loosened slightly as he turned his attention to alex, his expression softening. "thanks, man," he replied, a hint of gratitude in his voice. "i appreciate it. just been a rough season, you know?"

alex nodded understandingly, offering a sympathetic smile. "yeah, i get it. every player has their ups and downs. but you've got the talent, trev. don't let a few setbacks overshadow what you bring to the game."

trevor's shoulders relaxed a fraction, the weight of his frustration momentarily lifted by alex's words. you leaned to take a sip from your drink, realizing that it was empty. you pulled away from trevor's touch and got up, but momentarily paused with trevor's voice.

"where you goin', princess?" trevor's voice tinged with a playful tone as he moved to grip your hip to pull you back. you huffed dramatically but you couldn't hide your smile.

"i was gonna go get a refill," you explained as alex scoffed at your guys' antics.

"not without me, you're not." trevor gave you a smirk, his playful demeanor infectious. he gently tugged you up, his grip on your hip firm yet gentle as he got up with you.

his hand gripped your shoulders as he led you through the crowd, his hand remained securely on your shoulder. despite the chaos around you, his grip was steady, his touch grounding you amidst the loud energy of the room.

as you reached the bar, he pulled you into his chest as he called over the bartender. he already knew your order so he just gave a nod to the bartender, indicating that he wanted the same drinks as before. his arm remained wrapped around your waist, holding you close against his chest as you waited for the drinks.

you leaned into his embrace, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath your fingertips. as the bartender handed over your drinks, trevor flashed a charming grin and exchanged a few words with them, his charismatic demeanor earning a friendly nod in return.

with the drinks in hand, he gently guided you back to your table, his hand never leaving you. trevor's arm tightened around your shoulders as he handed you your drink, his gaze meeting yours with a soft, affectionate glint.

"here you go, princess," he said, his voice low and warm as you settled back into the booth.

Joy to the world review

that ending was incredible.

Fifteen meets someone who is his companion for an entire episode then it turns out this person is the one companion who's never going to die wherever the doctor goes, because she's there.

she's always there, she's been there since Jesus was born, she was there when her mom died and then was reborn as a star and they're shining together and she isn't lonely. She isn't sad anymore. She is the happiest woman in the entire universe forever. Because she got her mom, Earth is still rotating, the dear silly doctor is still running around.

She and her mother aren't alone, there's Trev Simpkins, the manager, the bartender guy, and the briefcase guy, they got to be part of something beautiful and they didn't let down people who counted on them nor the doctor. Even when they believed it were the case initially, it wasn't the end, thanks to psychic graft.

my God, that is the most emotional Christmas special from Steven Moffat. He just needed a really long break from Doctor Who from writing that fairy tale to deliver this gut punch.

Rivals the emotions delivered in the Van Gogh episode.

Every Christmas Special pales in comparison to this beauty.

I like how hope was weaved through the story like a nice afterthought after it all happened.

this is one unforgettable companion

oh, her name is Joy Almondo.

Stellar performance by her actress.

Rewatch material. 100/100

[drawthethingdoppelganger]

DTtttt~ what are some of your favorite headcanons? I guess they could be for any show but I’m really looking for Bob burger hcs (shocking I know)

Do I know you?

Jimmy Jr has suggested to Tina multiple times about a Footloose EFF

Bob and Linda get very competitive at boardgames, so much that they started a parcheesi tournament

Mr Branca hides a bunch of personal stuff in the school's ceiling. No one really cares but he still gets nervous about his collection of Bleach Boys (*limited edition*) CD records, hence a rumor about "dead body in the ceiling" spread around the school

The eighth grader gang has a group chat but it's mostly just Tammy and Jocelyn chatting with each other (Tammy talks shit a lot and Jocelyn's the only one who replies)

Louise tries to sell Gene's jar of milk teeth on eBay labeling it as "dinosaur fossils"

Jimmy Jr's running posture is also his swimming posture (he swims fine but looks like he's drowning)

Louise made a voodoo doll of Logan for a revenge scheme. He was actually impressed by the attention to details

Jimmy Jr and Zeke learn bartender tricks from Trev and try to impress Andy and Ollie with it (they try to spice it up with unnecessary parkour)

[noddlesock]

Trev has worked for Jimmy Pesto’s for a long time, he’s watched them have good moments…and definitely horrible ones. But everyone has to start somewhere. And everyone has their secrets

[gleaming-glasses]

What gift would your favorite character most like to receive and what would they give to their loved ones?

(assuming this is about Bobs Burgers, sorry if that’s wrong lol) This got a tad long so the response in below!

Rn I’m liking Trev a lot. I think he’d just want to spend actual quality time with Jimmy instead of making fun of people, but since that probably isn’t happening he’d like literally any gift he got from the Pestos, just to be included means a lot. He doesn’t expect anything from the Pesto kids but Andy and Ollie probably give him little handmade gifts now and then anyway. Jimmy Jr. probably gives him store bought cards with something hand written inside. I think Jimmy Pesto would give him merch for his restaurant or things related to his job as his bartender (like the bottle opener he got him), very surface level stuff.

I think he puts a lot of thought into the gifts he gets the Pestos. He probably gets the kids gifts anytime he sees something he thinks they’d like but is more hesitant to get anything for Jimmy Pesto since he’s probably not very outwardly appreciative when Trev gives him stuff. I think he’d also want to do little generic gifts for neighbors like cookies and stuff around the holidays but doesn’t give anything to the Belchers in case Jimmy notices (though he’d like to)

[pilotheather]

TRAILER

TRAILER TRAILER TRAILER DELICIOUS TRAILER FOR ME FOR EGGGIE

[unclefathersantateddy]

What's your opinion on Trev: Jimmy's bartender? And their relationship with one another?

Thank you for the ask, anon! Here's my first Trev drawing as a lil visual before I dive into answering this!

So, I actually LOVE what the show has done with Trev.

Pre-season 9 Trev - the nodding yesman to Jimmy Pesto - is mid. He's just a bootlicker and it's boring. So when S9E17 What About Blob? aired and Trev stopped mindlessly high-fiving Jimmy, he started to get interesting. There was more to Trev than being an obedient nodding dog, he actually had some semblance of depth.

"I don't wanna be a meanie weenie, I wanna be a nicey-weenie" :((( trev. He doesn't wanna be a clone of Jimmy, he doesn't even like how Jimmy treats him (e.g. S8E6/7 The Bleakening, Jimmy tells Trev "don't say stuff", Trev asks "what do you mean 'don't say stuff'? What am I supposed to say?"), so it's nice that he's self aware enough to know he doesn't want to perpetuate that cycle.

Then during the last season when Eric Bauza took over as Jimmy (S14E5 Bully-ieve It or Not), Trev returned with an all-new sass that I am HERE for.

His "back up" for Jimmy's insult is just "ha, [xyz] can be mean!" completely trivialising Jimmy's insult under the guise of backing it up. In a later scene when Jimmy is trash talking Bob about the Ball-Pit idea, instead of backing Jimmy up, Trev corrects his grammar (resulting in Jimmy sending him inside). And I know I've mentioned this a lot but he 'pranks' Bob by charging him $7 for tap water then says "got you! Classic me" which I just ADORE, best Trev line ajdhkdksai!!!!! Then later when Jimmy tells him to "zip it", Trev goes "okay zipping..." waits for Jimmy to walk away and then says "...unzipping" AJFJDISNSKDK!!!!!!!!

I LOVE that he's growing this confidence to resist Jimmy!!!!!!!!! He's come so far from the mindless "yes Jimmy, no Jimmy, whatever you say Jimmy" that he was pre-season nine. And yeah I am THRIVING with it, HE'S thriving with it!!!!!!!

He's also very vocal about wanting his mom to be proud of him he's so CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's official I am a TREV STAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lmao!

This was loads of fun to answer thank you so much for the great ask!!!

[neverfittedin]

@byronlc asked: [PROVOKING] Nick provokes Trev by talking about his attraction to someone else. (because we know how much Nick loves to provoke him) 

JEALOUSY

“Summer remains a true bisexual dream,” he casually mentions while settling on his lounger, drink in hand and sunglasses sitting on his nose. “The bartender’s pretty cute, but the life guard, phew, he has a damn nice ass in those trunks. How long do you think it’d take me to get his number as well?”

[ardentghcst]

grinning at the bartender, trevin turned to the man to hold up a reaffirming thumbs up, as if wanting the other to know for certain he was, indeed, paying. a part of him felt bad but... that was the nature of the sport. if the shoe was on the other foot, he was certain he'd be sulking just as bad but... even trev knew repping the losing team's sweater at a bar post-loss was a bold move. he could at least respect the dedication. ❛ i mean, shit, i'll take a name. that's more than i thought i'd be gettin' anyways, ❜ trevin grinned, taking the olive branch and holding his hand out. hinging at the waist to meet her eyes, he offered a charming grin, eyes alight with the afterglow of his big win but also from the fact he had gotten the pretty girl, with a brother on the opposing team, to even so much as humor a conversation with him; ❛ i'm trevin ackler — and who might you be ?? ❜

aaand he was still talking. pigs are likelier to sprout wings before men learn to take a hint. hell, ophelia wasn't even giving him hints; she told him flat out what she wanted from him, and here he was, offering to buy her a drink. she couldn't think of anything she wanted less. to accept would feel like a betrayal to her brother, but if it gets this guy off her back... she downs the rest of her drink and holds up the empty glass at the bartender. "he says he's paying," she says. instead of a thank you, she gestures for him to sit himself on the empty stool next to her. she'll give him however long it'll take her to down her drink, or just until her brother calls, inevitably in need of a pick-me-up and copious amounts of reassurance that no, evan, you don't suck; your career isn't over. you win some, you lose some. it's gonna be okay. "i suppose this is the part where we exchange names? not to be presumptuous, but that's about all you're getting from me. the drink makes us even. the names are a bonus. i'm feeling generous."

[jjdizz]

Oh my god

[hyperfixationheadcannons]

This one I feel like is very popular.

Jimmy Pesto and his bartender Trev are dating.

That’s it, that’s the whole post.

[alxnetxgether-moved]

Ask continuation for @scvenfeet

"Jack, huh?" Trevor says taking the half empty bottle and pouring a bit into a cup. If he was to be completely honest, it wasn't his favorite liquor, atleast not straight. He takes a quick sip, shaking his head slightly once it slides down his throat. "Ya, that's Jack alright," he jokes as he sets down the cup. "I could make this stuff a little more interesting if you want, what you got in the fridge?"
