#we do need to talk more about colton

[senditcolton]

don’t mind me dropping by in at four am (as i struggle to get back to bed) but i don’t feel like we discuss the variety that comes with being with a man like colton parayko enough. the guy is all big and muscular and can most definitely melt you into submission but rather than through roughness, it’s through his gentle touch and patience. by making you feel safe enough to just sink into that state where he can do whatever he wants to you — which is not to say he doesn’t enjoy using his size to his advantage. because after all, words out of his own mouth, he can do whatever he wants and you don’t stand a chance in stopping him when he’s a little impatient or the excitement is running high so you might as well just buckle up and prepare for the pleasure train you’re getting onto. not going to lie would much appreciate having him either way . — ☁️

y'all are after my own heart this sleepover/smut saturday! marty, casey, matty, tyson, and now COLTON PARAYKO!! MY BIGGEST BOY! love, love, love!! 💕❤💕

and you are so right, we do not talk about colton enough here. this MAN. 1000% correct, he would make you just sink into that sub-space with ease. and that is one of the best parts about being with him because he knows that you need/enjoy it as much as he does. like, the way he would make you feel so comforted, so relaxed, but at the same time be taking you apart in every delicious way. my god!!

i've also said it before, he gives me the vibes of "getting you off gets him off" like he enjoys giving you pleasure.

In the garden. 

The first puzzle was really hard. Riley says that usually the answer is hidden somewhere within the episode, but Amanda wouldn’t let her replay it to check. Good thing I take notes. Sophie thought to herself. She looks through her notes. She looks around the room. There are several posters on the walls and memorabilia from all of Hameln’s different productions, with notes around them of different actors and their family members that went missing during or after production, among other odd notes about the show. Her mother told her once they realized Hameln was associated with the cult they started doing a deep dive on all their creative properties outside of Amanda. The results of this research are posted all around in sticky notes and long stapled printouts taped around the room. Like a controlled chaotic masterpiece. That’s mom for you. Sophie thought with a smile. Of course, most of the merch and stuff was from Amanda the Adventurer. Which… didn’t make things too easy. Sophie figured Amanda was going to hide it somewhere within the merch. Finally, she notices a specific poster. “Amanda the Adventurer! New Show! Starring Rebecca Colton and William Scott. Soon airing on Hameln Jr!” The poster showed Amanda and Wooly, sitting on Apples and Peaches respectively. Could this be it? Sophie recognized this poster. It was a collectors edition poster mimicking the show’s initial announcement ad. It was crazy popular and really hard for her mother to get a copy. Sophie feels the poster and realizes there’s a weird shape behind it. She gently peels back the tape on the poster revealing a safe and two tapes. One being an Amanda episode titled: In The Garden. The other being a bright cyan colored tape. Never understood why they chose to record all their evidence against Hameln on colored tapes. Sophie chose to watch the cyan tape first. It appeared rather unassuming, simply being a collection of Amanda the Adventurer commercials. There’s got to be more here… something I’m missing. Sophie thinks to herself. Oh well… I don’t have much free time. I better watch the next tape now. Sophie puts the tape in the machine. 

“Hi friends, I’m Amanda!” Amanda beams.

“And I’m Wooly!” 

“Gee it took you a while to find that tape huh? I hid it well, didn't I?” 

“Well… it only took me half an hour to find it.” 

“HUH?” 

“I had like 5 assignments due today… I had to do the dishes… and the laundry… then I watched this other tape first… so yeah… not too hard.” 

“Grrrrrrrrrr…” Amanda grumbled. 

“To-today we’re planting seeds to grow in our garden!” Wooly announces, changing the subject. 

“That’s right Wooly! Say, what kinds of plants do you like to grow?” Cacti Sophie responds. “You’re weird.” Amanda responds. The tape glitches.  “First we’re going to need to go to the store to buy some seeds, can you tell me where the store is?” Sophie clicks on the store. “Great! Let’s go-go-go-go-go-” the tape glitches again. Wow, these are so old. Sophie thinks to herself. 

“Wow there’s so many options, what are we going to grow?” Wooly asks. 

“Vegetables!” 

“Vegata..bles?” Wooly repeats. 

“Yep!” 

“In our new garden?” “That’s right!” Amanda beams. Wooly looks disappointed. “What is it?” 

“Nothing, I just thought we’d be growing flowers.” Wooly mumbles in an annoyed tone under his breath. 

“Flowers are boring! Vegetables are flowers you can eat!” 

“Wha- No! Flowers are pretty! They’re nice to look at and they smell nice!” 

“And they die wither and rot come fall. Good idea Wooly!” Amanda beams. 

“Wha- no!” Wooly sounds angrier at this then he should be. He stops himself and takes a deep breath. “How about this? I get flowers, you get the vegetables. Okay?” 

“Okay…” Amanda seems a little confused and uncomfortable. 

“So can you tell me where the---------” The tape glitches as Amanda and Wooly talk over each other, both glaring at each other with annoyance. 

“Sorry, you go first.” Wooly chuckles nervously. 

“Can you tell me where the vegetable seeds are?” Amanda smiles. Sophie clicks on the vegetables. “Great job!” 

“Can you tell me where the flower seeds are?” Wooly asks. Sophie clicks on them. “Thank you!”

“Now we need to pick out which vegetables we want! I want to make some BLTs at some point. So we definitely need some lettuce and tomatoes. Then maybe some cucumbers so we can have salads.”

“Honestly… that doesn’t sound so bad.” 

“Can you tell me where the seeds are?” Amanda asks. Sophie clicks on all three seeds with no problem. “Good job!” Amanda smiles.

“As for flowers I’m thinking daffodils, daisies, and… lavender…” Wooly closes his eyes wistfully. 

“Lavender?” 

“It smells so good. And I remember once hearing that it can help with anxiety and sleep!” Wooly explains, “um… not that I have any problems with anxiety or sleep or anything. The point is it’s known to be a very calming flower.” 

“I guess that’s interesting…” Amanda sighs. 

“Can you tell me where those are?” Wooly asks. Sophie clicks on the correct flowers. “Yay! These are going to look so pretty in the yard.” 

“Now let’s go home so we can plant these seeds!” Amanda tells us. The tape glitches back to the back yard. “I have all the gardening tools laid out here. What do we need first?” Sophie clicks on the shovel. “That’s… right…” Amanda says, then she shakes it off. “First we need to plant the seeds!”

“Be sure to look at the instructions on the back!” Wooly instructs.

“Wooly… there are no instructions on the back…” “Oh… there are in real life though…” Wooly sighs. 

 “First we dig a hole about this deep, then we put the seeds in…” “I’m starting to think we should’ve gotten plants instead.” Wooly thinks out loud. 

“Well the store only has seeds, Wooly.” 

“Ah… haha… Bummer.” 

“Anyway we planted the seeds. Now what do they need?” “Fertilizer!” Wooly announces. Water Sophie types. 

“Water!” Amanda beams. 

“What? No, they'll grow faster with fertilizer!” Wooly protests. 

“But the only place we can get that is the farm.” Amanda replies. 

“No! I don’t want to go baaaack there!” Wooly panics. Amanda looks… a little guilty. 

“Yeah I know. Which is why we don’t have fertilizer.” Amanda sighs. 

“I’m sorry…” 

“It’s fine Wooly.” “What do we use to water the seeds?” Sophie clicks on the watering can. “Riiiight.” Amanda says slowly. She starts to water the plants. 

“Don’t water them too much!” Wooly warns. 

“I know Wooly, I got this.” Amanda sighs. “There. Now we wait.” Amanda and Wooly stand there waiting for a bit. 

“Huh? Usually when we do this episode they grow immediately.”

“It’s probably because we don’t have fertilizer.” Amanda deduces. “Guess we’ll have to… get some.” Wooly looks terrified. “Wooly, the episode won’t end until the plants grow!” Amanda reminds him. 

“So? We can play some more right?” Wooly laughs nervously. Amanda bits her lip. 

“How about this, you stay home and keep an eye on the plants so the birds don’t eat the seeds.” Amanda suggests, “And I go to the farm.” 

“Okay…” Wooly sighs. The tape glitches to the farm. But both Amanda and Wooly are there. 

“Oh… I guess… the show won’t let you do that.” Amanda notes, she sees Wooly panicking, “It’s just the farm stand, not the petting zoo. You should be fine. We’ll be quick.” Amanda reussers him. But he says nothing. “Wooly, you can talk, you know.” Amanda says. 

“Oh, okay…” Wooly mumbles. 

“Can you tell the farmer what we need?” Amanda asks. The “farmer” is a motionless scarecrow, placed between the crops and the farm stand. Sophie types in fertilizer. “That’s right! Now let’s go home!”

“Meow!” 

“Aww… it’s a lonely kitt-” The tape glitches back to the backyard.

“I’m fine? I’m… fine. I’m fine!” Wooly gasps, fully relieved and almost a little excited. Amanda looks away. “Haha! Hahahaha! Take that stupid farm! Sheep says Baaa! No more! Haha!” 

“Glad you’re happy Wooly.” Amanda sighs tiredly, “But uh… the flower bed is all dug up.” 

“They’re what now?” Wooly stops in his tracks. Amanda checks the beds for seeds.  

“No no no no! The birds ate all our seeds! Now we’ll have to plant them all OVER again!” Amanda screams. “GRAH!” she stamps her foot. 

“Don’t worry Amanda, we still have more seeds, we can plant them again!” Wooly reussers her. 

“Yeah but aren’t you frustrated?” Amanda asks, “Aren’t you mad?” 

“I… I uh…” Wooly freezes up, “Let’s get these… seeds… pla-planted…”  the tape glitches and the seeds are all planted again. “Whew! That was a lot of work! Now let’s add fertilizer!” Wooly smiles. Sophie clicks and drags the fertilizer to each plant. 

“Now what do we use to water them?” Amanda questions. Sophie clicks on the watering can. “That’s right.” 

“Can I water them this time?” Wooly asks. 

“Sure Wooly!” Amanda says cheerfully. Wooly creates little moats around the holes and waters them. 

“Gotta make a moat to protect the castle from invaders!” Wooly laughs. The tape glitches and the plants are watered. “Now we wait.” This time, Amanda and Wooly watch as the plants slowly rise from the ground. “Yay! Now we can pick our plants!” Amanda beams and the tape ends. Now to find that next tape… Sophie thinks.

Authors note: Finally managed to finish this one. Have been doing a lot more editing on the recent episodes. Trying to figure out the future of this fic series lol.

The Sports Agent

Azizsa was a down-on-his-luck sports agent. Once considered a rising star, his career had hit rock bottom after a series of scandals involving his clients. Unable to find anyone willing to hire him, Azizsa was forced to take a job selling concessions at a rodeo.

One day, Colton a rising star in the racing world known for his incredible speed and fearless driving and the brother to two of the rodeo’s rising stars Clayton and Carson, stops for some snacks.

Inexplicitly Azizsa is drawn to Colton. He admires his strength, determination and his slick silver racing gear. There is something alluring about the silver gear that he can’t take his eyes off of. Sensing that Colton’s popularity seems to have plateaued, Azizsa takes a risk. He leans over the counter, his eyes filled with earnest determination.

"Colton, I've been in the sports industry for years, and I've seen talent like yours only a handful of times," he begins. "You have what it takes to be the best, but you need someone who believes in you as much as you believe in yourself. That's where I come in."

He pauses, letting his words sink in. "My job isn’t just to sign contracts and shake hands. It's to be your fiercest advocate, to open doors you didn’t even know existed. I'll work day and night to ensure you receive the opportunities you deserve."

Colton raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his boldness. "And how exactly do you plan to do that?"

Azizsa comes out from behind the concession stand and the two begin walking.

Azizsa steps closer, his eyes locked on Colton’s silver gear. "I see you as more than just a racer. I see a brand, a legend in the making. Together, we can secure sponsorships, media deals, and endorsements that will not only elevate your career but redefine it. I’m talking prime-time spots, cutting-edge equipment, and the freedom to race on your terms."

Colton feeling a spark of excitement: "Go on."

"I believe in you, Colton. Let me handle the business side of things so you can focus on what you do best — racing. Give me a chance, and I promise you won’t regret it. We can turn your passion into an empire."

Colton looked at Azizsa, seeing the fire in his eyes. His pitch wasn’t just about business; it was about belief and vision. He nodded slowly, a smile creeping onto his face. "Azizsa, I hear you. However, I have a proposition for you.”

“I see your potential," Colton began, his voice smooth and confident with a smirk on his face. "I know you've had a tough run, but I've got a better offer that will change everything for you."

Azizsa feeling a rejection coming or a trick: "Yeah, what's that and what’s the catch?"

Colton holds up a pristine silver jersey, the fabric shimmering under the lights. "Join the Silver Collective. Put on this jersey, and you’ll gain the skills and connections to become the best sports agent in the world."

Azizsa stares at the jersey, almost seeming to glow with promise. He feels the silver reaching out and his whole body wants to take it but his mind resists: "What’s the Silver Collective?"

"It's a brotherhood, a team, where united by silver we harness and amplify each other's strengths and the strength of silver. You help me, I help you, and together with the power of the silver we redefine what it means to be successful."

Azizsa, driven by a mix of desperation and the fiery excitement the jersey is arousing in him takes it. The silky football jersey glistening in his hands sends tingles throughout his body. He slides the fabric over his shoulders, and it effortlessly conforms to his body, feeling like a second skin. The cool, smooth texture sends a shiver down his spine, igniting a mix of anticipation and exhilaration.

As the jersey settles into place, it hugs his muscles which grow to fit snugly in the jersey, giving him a sense of power and readiness. The light catches the material, reflecting the silver color, and he feels a surge of pride. This isn’t just any piece of clothing—it's a symbol of belonging, of being part of something greater. Part of the Silver Collective.

Each breath he takes fills him with confidence and determination. The jersey, light yet strong, amplifies his senses, making him acutely aware of the silver field, the silver purpose, and the challenges ahead. His mind sharpens, filling with strategies and visions of success. The path ahead is clear and attainable. He feels ready, like a warrior donning silver armor, prepared to take on whatever comes his way to grow the silver team.

Colton grins, clapping Azizsa on the back. "Welcome to the team. Let’s make history."

A few days later Azizsa is flown to a team meeting to meet the members of the Silver Collective Football team.

At the meeting Azizsa learns something astonishing: most of the players on his team are not only football players but also excel in other sports—baseball, swimming, wrestling etc.

Realizing the opportunity, the silver team's management tasked Azizsa with a new challenge. Represent these multi-talented athletes in their various sports as well as in football. It is an overwhelming yet exciting prospect.

Azizsa sets about meeting with the players and learning their backgrounds.

Azizsa immerses himself in each sport, understanding the unique demands and opportunities. He works closely with each player, helping them navigate their dual careers. Whether negotiating contracts with baseball leagues, securing sponsorships for gymnastic events, or arranging appearances at tournaments, Azizsa has his hands full and is constantly on the move.

While he juggles these responsibilities, Azizsa's skills and confidence grow under the guidance of the silver collective.

"Mr. Mulder, I Know Something About You"

(Dedicated to @baronessblixen for her fascinating idea: Bill Scully giving Tom Colton and Ethan Minette binders bulging with dirt on one Fox Mulder. This took a slightly different path, though.)

*****

The first time Bill heard the name Fox Mulder was the day after his sister and her partner were sucked almost dry and hospitalized in Washington State for nearly two weeks. One fuzzy, panicked call from Tara and one fuzzier, harried call from his mom sketched in the slim details: Dana was on the mend, she’d been investigating a missing loggers’ case with her partner--

“What 'partner'? She’s in the field?” 

She had been, for months. He’d forgotten to ask at their father’s funeral, convinced that her height and lack of experience had kept her teaching at Quantico. 

“Dana's mentioned him once before, I think. You know how tight-lipped she is about her life.”  

“Mom, do I need to come home? Is she….”

“No, Bill-- but I’ll call you if she takes a turn for the worse.” 

So, Bill stayed on board; and Dana got better, and Tara celebrated over the phone, and Maggie remembered the name: Fox Mulder. 

*****

The second time Bill heard the name Fox Mulder were the days following his sister’s abduction. 

His mother talked of little else-- with Dana’s captor dead, any possible leads had died with him. There was nothing now but faith and hope.  

“But I believe Fox will call as soon as he finds her.” 

Fox. His sister, Tara had told him, still called him Mulder. Then again, Tara’s attention was currently wrapped up in calendars and planners and endless negatives. For that matter, his was, too; and what little time he had to think of family he thought of her, alone, counting the rising costs of their countless tries, alone, while he worked as often as he could to forget to cover those costs and forget his own loneliness. And his sister, somewhere, alone; and his mother back in Maryland, alone.

Dana and her former partner’s professional relationship wasn’t a top priority, or even a distant concern.  

**** 

The third time Bill heard the name Fox Mulder was after promising his eldest sister that Tara would try her fertility herbs. His wife was curled up on one side, quiet, and Melissa stuck her toes in his other side, slyly smiling.

“Now that that’s out of the way,” she concluded, setting aside the herb pouch and pinning him with her eyes, “why haven’t you given Dana a call? She hasn’t said it, but she’s been expecting one.” 

“Don’t start, Missy.” He’d have disengaged, too, but Tara’s head was pressing into his shoulder, a sure sign she was falling asleep. And sleep was precious these days, what with the hormone shots and regular appointments and never-ending stress. He’d promised to shoulder her stresses for nine more weeks; and whether this was a test or not, Bill Scully had and would never back down from his word. 

Melissa, opportunistic woman that she was, had banked on it, waiting for her sister-in-law’s “dozing” tea to kick in before launching the subject. “Billy, you know you want to talk to her. What’s the problem? I mean, she almost… we almost lost her. Why can’t you let whatever you’re holding onto--” 

“Miss--” he stopped, his voice startling them temporarily.

“You owe it to her, Bill. You two haven’t talked in months; and you both say it’s because of your work but really it’s because of your pride. You’re both so like Dad; but at least Dad was blind to what it did to us."

“And what about Dana? She's back on her feet and running right back to her autopsies and late nights. You can’t point a finger at me without three pointing right back at her. At least I try to be there for my family.” 

“You weren’t there when she was gone.” 

He swallowed, stung and angry. “And who was, Melissa? You?”

Her toes gripped his hip, guilty. “Fox.” 

*****

The fourth time Bill heard Fox Mulder’s name was during his sister’s not-so-secret battle with cancer. His mother called often to vent and cry, unable to share her worries and pain with her only living daughter and unwilling to burden Tara with more stress.  

Fox had become a footnote of late, so consumed was he and Dana in their work. 

“Mom, how can you let Dana run herself down like that? She should be resting or looking into treatments-- anything rather than chasing after rag magazine cases half across the country!” 

“Bill, you know perfectly well not everyone can run to sea to escape their problems. Not even you.” 

*****

The fifth time Bill heard Fox Mulder’s name was after he’d met the man, watched him fill Dana’s head with insane theories about chips and government conspiracies, and backed off, awed, when Dana’s cancer miraculously went into remission. 

He was roaming the halls, searching for coffee to wash down the remainder of his rage at Fox Mulder’s red eyes and dazed expression when he noticed another government type walk stiffly towards the nurse’s desk, brusquely flash a badge, straighten his stiff spine and stiffer tie, and promptly demand to see “Fox Mulder.” 

“I know where he is,” Bill cut in, saving the nurse the hassle but still getting a glare for his trouble. “Bill Scully. How can I help you?”

“Yes-- I was sent to bring him back for questioning; and we’re expected in,” he looked significantly at his watch, “forty minutes. If you would take me to him--”

“Take Mulder where?” Bill snapped around to see Walter Skinner, A.D., striding over, eyebrows drawn and face grim.  

“Yes, Sir. Agent Mulder is being called in for--”

“The committee’s been disbanded until further notice, Agent Colton; and until I have those further orders, my agents are not to be bothered or contacted while they are in this hospital. Is that understood?” 

Bill watched the other man’s jaw lock, grind, and shift as it worked its stubborn way around, “Understood, Sir.” Then Agent Colton turned tail and fled, heels thudding down the tile on their thunderous path to the elevator. 

A.D. Skinner wasn’t done yet. “My apologies, Mr. Scully. That agent was out of line; and I'll see to it that your family isn't bothered again.” 

It was best to nod and let the A.D. think he was frustrated with the intrusion.

Mulder could have been mid-conversation or on his way out by now. Instead, he would still be on that bench long after the family had left for the night. 

He seemed the type. 

*****

The sixth time Bill heard Fox Mulder’s name was over another phone call, mere months before the birth of his child. 

“Bill Scully? You might not remember me, but my name’s Ethan, Ethan Minette, and Dana and I used to date back when, well rather, right after she was recruited by the FBI. She ever mention me? Yes? No? Anyway, not important. Calling about information you might possibly have on, lemme check… Fox? Mulder, yep, Fox Mulder. Dana’s partner? There was a case she was involved in recently, really gruesome, real Frankenstein abomination stuff; and Colton, Tom Colton? You know him? Dana’s friend? Anyway, we keep in touch, we’re related somewhat, you know? And he named you as a hot tip and I was wondering if you…. Yeah, yeah, I can wait.” 

He and Tara fought afterward: Tara, as big as a house, was ready to cave the roof in.

“Dana’s coming for the holidays, Bill! And you two will spend the week in stony silence avoiding each other and, and Maggie and I will have to try to keep the peace instead of celebrating our first Christmas as a growing family, and-- and how could you do that, Bill? After all Fox Mulder did for our family?” 

Bill was lacking even to his ears; and, after cooler heads prevailed, he dialed Ethan back up and insisted his name be kept out of the article. Ethan talked doubly fast, banging a pen up and down every other word for emphasis as he cajoled and steamed about losing necessary credibility; but, inevitably, gave in. 

“I’ll only do this because you’re Dana’s brother and she was a real sweetheart. But if I need to call you in future…?” 

“I don’t have any more information.”

Dana skipped most of Christmas, anyway. 

*****

The seventh time Bill heard Fox Mulder’s name was when he flew in for Emily Sim’s hearing. 

“I need him as a witness if I’m to have any chance getting custody of Emily,” Dana had stated carefully, meticulously avoiding eye contact as much as possible. Bill still caught her bewilderment and fear… and joy. 

“When’ll he get here?” 

“Tonight, tomorrow… he didn’t say when, just that he’d be here.” He caught her smile, too. 

“Dana…” Her head snapped up, and he paused. “We’ll be there.” 

“Bill, you don’t have to--”

“We’ll be there, Dana.” 

And they were. 

And so was Fox Mulder. 

Bill left with Tara, tired and emotional, and Maggie, displaced and confused, after exchanging silent, cursory greetings with his sister’s partner. While he slowly walked away, both women in tow, he heard a curt “Dana Scully and Fox Mulder” echo behind him. 

And, in spite of everything, he sent up a prayer for both.

coltonherta Everybody talks about the magic of love and how wonderful being in a relationship and finding your person is. But they don’t talk about is how unglamorous showing up for your partner can be, how sometimes, you want to tear your heart out of your chest when you see the pain that your loved one is in.

Y/N has struggled with severe anxiety and panic attacks since long before I knew her. Over the past few months, her condition had taken a nosedive for the worse. She found it increasingly difficult to get out of bed, and her intrusive thoughts made her scared to be left alone. When I came out to Indiana for the 500, many of you noticed that she wasn’t with me. She flew back home to the town where she grew up and spent time with her parents, time she was trying to use for recovery. Even though I told her that she didn’t need to come out for the two races in Indianapolis, she has always supported my career as I have supported hers.

The 500 weekend was the final straw for her. She felt on edge and overwhelmed, and struggled to enjoy a race weekend the way that she normally did. That night, I sat down with my dad and told him that I couldn’t do this any more. That I could not keep putting her through this. That I would not compete in another indycar race until I knew that she was okay.

We’ve spent the past three weeks in Maine, where we’ve focussed on reconnecting with each other. I am very pleased to announce that Y/N is faring much better. While she may never be fully ‘recovered’, I can now see the smart, funny, lovely girl that I fell in love with. Assuming things stay in this positive, upwards trajectory, we will both see you in Mid-Ohio

Peace out,

Colton and Y/N.

kyle_kirkwood Send y/n my love. Rooting for you both.

12willpower This is what real love is like. I know better than most what you’re going through, and I know that Y/N couldn’t be in better hands. Keep your head up, and I’ll see you in Ohio.

maybe you won't have to be mrs. spooky anymore

Squeeze is such an important episode for Scully. (And it's just a great episode in general! a truly classic motw) We've been talking a lot lately about Scully's autonomy and her decisions that led her down the path that she follows and I feel like Squeeze is a showcase of exactly that. Of how her decisions affect the narrative.

We start the episode with her listening to a colleague insult Mulder, completely unprovoked. They weren't even talking about Mulder. Colton asks her "How are you doing? Have you had any close encounters of the third kind?" He doesn't care how she's doing. He just wanted an excuse to bring up Mulder so that he could talk shit about him and then turn around to indirectly ask Scully to bring Mulder in to help on the case.

Scully wastes no time defending Mulder. I think it is very telling of someone's character when they stand up for people who aren't around to defend themselves. Scully certainly knows how it feels to be looked down on, especially as a woman in a male dominated field. Even though Colton asks for her help, it's obvious that he doesn't respect her the way that Mulder does. He even goes as far as to ask Scully to choose sides, to which she responds that she's on the victims side.

Ooooooh. That moment right there. It is a perfect example of why Scully chose to follow Mulder. They want the same thing. They want to catch bad guys. They want to help people. They want to find out the truth. She isn't throwing her life away, even though that's what her colleagues may see. She's choosing the path that she believes is right. This is the Dana Scully who chooses the side of the victim and stands up for her partner.

Another great moment is when Mulder says "you may not always agree with me but at least you respect the journey" This!!!! This boils down their relationship so perfectly. In the beginning, Scully disagrees with Mulder. A lot. But she's here for the exact same reason that he is. To find the truth. It reminds me of in season 6(?) when Mulder is defending Scully to Diana by saying the she makes him work for it. Yes yes yes. There's a great song by Tacocat called Dana Katherine Scully with the line "she wants to know what's out there, but she needs to know why". Scully doesn't take things at face value, but she doesn't belittle Mulder for what he believes. It's her scientific brain needing proof, and honestly, I think that's admirable. She wants to find proof not only for herself, but for the rest of the world. And for Mulder.

Mulder then tells Scully that if she wants to keep working with Colton, he won't hold it against her. He's not used to people sticking around. Scully was sent to spy on him. Of course he doesn't expect her to be in for the long haul. Her response is to follow him and say that she knows he has more evidence to back up his theory. She wants to find the truth! She's open to these possibilities even if they are kind of out there! She's following her orders to investigate(debunk) Mulder's claims of the paranormal with scientific evidence, and you bet your ass she's going to do it right! Scully and Mulder are on this journey for the same reason and by god she's gonna follow it to the end. She chooses to. It's her decision and no one else's. Maybe being Mrs. Spooky isn't such a bad thing.

I’ve read a few fics where someone either in the fbi or local/state law enforcement tries to recruit scully to their team. I like the idea (though I’d never want her to actually leave, ofc), and I think it’s realistic that it would happen - if you agree, how seriously do you think she entertains such offers, at various points in the show?

oh i love this question!! i think there are three times scully considered to his. the first time being squeeze, and colton helped make sure scully would dedicate herself to the victims & mulder. and mulder is really the one who solidified it because he's so considerate. he cares about people so much and what he does really is what she wants to do. she wants to make a difference.

the second time would be around never again, right before her cancer. like i think about paper hearts, and even el mundo gira. she couldn't really help mulder, she let skinner down. they didn't find the immigrants spreading the ... mold? they were "invisible." and obviously never again, where she was contemplating her work & her life & her choices. right after na, she needs the x files. and she needs mulder, he gives her strength and she would have had a much harder time without him. and even though he wasn't ready to say what she means to him, he needs her too and i do think she's aware how he values her. he's a very show over tell kind of person, and they both have a habit of talking around important things lol

the third time...would be the end of s5, the end & ftf era where she was really doubting herself and her importance to the x files & mulder. and more than that, how she's a deterrent to him. i think she became very aware in gethsemane & reduxes how they use her against him (and all the other times she was victimized). her abduction, her cancer. and then emily happened. the red and the black? she was believing and he wasn't. she willingly did a regression which she ran from when melissa asked her to do it...regarding her abduction. scully almost died again. and while that may not have been as targeted against her & mulder, it's all connected. diana just exacerbated the problem and made her question their partnership more. but he said what she needed to hear and she was roped back in.

more than anything, i don't think scully could abandon him and leave him alone. and the x files really are hers too, whether her name is on the door or not. she has just as much blood in this as mulder does. she wants answers too. scully will always be reeled back in. we see a hint of it in iwtb and plenty in the revival. mulder & william are who she fights for. and as mulder fights for everyone else, she'll be there with him every step of the way.

Happy birthday week, day 3, bestie 💜

Here's a StellaCordi coda i started in July but haven't finished...

The setup:

​​Geri soft breaks up with Cordell in 2x20, telling him it was too soon. Telling him they should ​focus on Stella Blue because she’s about to graduate. He looks at Stella for a long time, heart ​aching; wanting. They all move back into the ranch, and he and Stella have their talk over the ​game. Stella’s “or pick up where we left off” shows that she’s not sure if she’s ready to go off to ​Sauber, and Cordell reassures her she can go. They hug, but Stella still isn’t sure she’s ready to ​leave. She feels like she just got her dad back—Twyla is gone and Geri let him loose, too, and ​Stella’s finally an adult who can make her own choices. He doesn’t need to be worrying that he’s ​taking advantage of a child (he still is but it’s stella lol).

They’re hugging in the middle of the ​ranch house, where everyone is helping unpack, but as Stella tucks her head under Cordell’s ​she wishes they were alone. She puts her hands over his arms as he holds her, hoping he’ll feel ​her need through her fingertips. She can feel his intake of breath—soft; startled; hopeful—and ​he squeezes her and kisses her head, letting her go. He clears his throat, and Stella blushes at ​how obvious it sounds. There’s no one in the living room, but most of the family is in the house ​around any corner.

​“Uh…I just remembered something I need to grab—uhh, from the boxes they took up to the ​farmhouse. Something I wanted to give you before your party.”

​“Oh, I’ll come help you look,” Stella says, equally not subtle but too distracted by the sudden ​heat in her body to care.

​Cordell takes her hand, and she follows him to his truck and they get in. They barely get out of ​sight of the ranch before Cordell grabs her hand again, and when she looks at him she can see ​his uncertainty. She moves their hands to her lap, at the top of her thigh, her heart races.

​Cordell squeezes her hand once and then loosens his grasp, and she feels his fingers tremble ​as they drag across the edge of her shorts. Her breath shakes, and her hand jerks a little as she ​tries to pull his hand subtly higher.

​Cordell laughs, but he’s looking at her with elation, and he grips her thigh, fingers just beneath ​her hemline. “Let’s just hold our horses, babygirl. We’ll be there soon.”

​They pull up to the farmhouse and it looks deserted. Inside, the furniture is in place and their ​boxes have been distributed, but everyone’s been focusing on unpacking up at the ranch so ​they can have Stella’s graduation party like they’d always planned. Daddy leads her inside and ​up to his room, and Stella’s heart pounds so hard she feels dizzy. Finally… finally.

​“What did you want to give me, daddy?” Stella says. It comes out more goofy than suggestive, ​and Stella suddenly feels nervous and embarrassed. It’s been months since they’ve been alone ​like this. There’s been so much going on to separate them—the Davidson stuff, getting kicked ​out of their home and losing their privacy, Dad’s work stuff, and everything with Colton and ​Todd—and she’d started to think Daddy really was done with her; that the guilt she knows he ​grapples with over her had won out.

​Cordell smiles at her—that little quirk of one side of his mouth that he does when he thinks she’s ​cute. His eyes seem to twinkle at her with mischief as he kisses her hand and lets it go. “Well, ​we’ll get to what I’d like to give you in a minute,” he flirts back, so cheesy Stella feels her face ​​heating up at how embarrassing they both are. “First I do have something else for you, Stella ​Blue.”

Bestie👁👄👁 oh my goddddddddddd

First of all I love cheesy cordell because he is so cheesy but its so adorable.

The uncertainty!!!! They're trying to regain what they once had and they both want this and want it to work out so bad.

Too bad someone's gonna get kidnapped and just when things are on the mend they're about to break again👀👀👀👀

[cordelianewman]

who: Cordelia and Cage ( @cagenewman )

what: Cage and Cordelia attempt to get some time to themselves to finish up Christmas and spend quality time together.

when: late December, 2024

"I'll admit I'm still a little nervous about leaving them alone..." Her bright eyes glancing back towards the house as her feet crunched in the snow in her boots as they made their way towards Cage's truck. "Are you sure we shouldn't call Alice?" The babysitter was doing courses at the local community college now and she knew that she was off of school. "Maybe just to be safe? It's not that I don't trust Shawn and Colton but they're watching two girls who energy exhausts even me?" Really they had said multiple times they could handle it after making them go over the rules again and again. Not answering the door, nothing heated up on the stove or in the oven, and the few other safety rules. "Maybe I could just have her swing by just check on things?" Though she knew that would possibly offend both of the older teens who were attempting to prove they had things under control. They needed to be able to go out for a few hours without worrying, didn't they?

Once inside the truck she tugged her jacket tighter around her. "I just need to pick up a few more things and figured a little dinner wouldn't hurt." Since they had made sure to get pizza and appetizers for the kids, she wanted to be able to enjoy a nice meal together. They hadn't really had proper alone time since their honeymoon and any adults needed that even if it was out finishing up all Christmas related things. "Okay you should really drive before I change my mind and we head back inside." she chuckled softly. If anyone could talk herself into and out of things it was Cordelia and she wanted to do this for not only them, but the boys too.

[spiceberrie]

I love the way he approaches the game. I love that he's... One of my favorite things about what makes Jake Oettinger tick is, he loves being the bad guy. Like he loves to ride into town, black hat mentality. He's one of the few goalies I know who prefers road games to home games. He loves that mentality where everyone in the building is rooting against him. And it's one of those things where we saw it in the series against Minnesota. He goes back to a place where like, yes, it was really nice and cute that his grandma's there and in the crowd and everything like that. But really so much of his motivation is just shutting the entire world down more so than making six or seven people happy. I love it. They actually fixed what their issues were from the Jack Campbell time to the Jake Oettinger time. And like, he's great. I love the Jake Oettinger story.

— Sean Shapiro and Dimitri Filipovic talk about Jake Oettinger.

"And, you know, there's a fine line between kind of confidence and cockiness or whatever. I personally don't care, I love both from my athletes. I think to be successful you need to be that at least in some way. I think pretty much everyone is. It's just a matter of how you choose to express it or how much you're willing to show the world in that regard. But he, in that interview, he describes the feeling when (...) the Stars signed Brayden Holtby a couple of years ago to come in and take starts from him. He described that as feeling like a slap in the face. And then, you know, he praises Holtby and Khudobin for the things that they taught him along the way and being good mentors and all that. But he also says that, “I knew what I wanted and that they were standing in my way”, essentially, in reference to being the starter for the Dallas Stars. And so, I mean, that's a catnip for me, right? Seeing that and then seeing the performance back it up, I'm like, this is everything I could possibly want from a player that you should be marketing as the guy.

"** I also love that it's also a bit of vindication for the Stars franchise and organization because it's fitting, obviously, that the guy who's in the playoffs with Edmonton, albeit not as the starter, Jack Campbell, but with how they tried and failed with the first round draft pick goalie to, they actually did everything right.

"There's so many parts of it. Well, 944 save percentage in 13 career playoffs starts, right? ... And that interview that I was telling you about, I'm not sure if you had a chance to see it, but some of the quotes really tie into what you're saying there about him embracing that thing.

"In the Stars, to give Jim no credit, It was something I was privy to, before they signed Holtby, I remember I had a conversation with a couple people from the Stars about like, “Hey, what's the plan here?” And they were like, “Well, we're going to send Jake down to the AHL and we know we've pissed him off.” That was the internal dialogue. We know we've pissed him off. We're going to send him down to the AHL and we're going to see what he does. And then he went down, went down to the AHL, played like 10 or 11 games with Texas, whatever it was, and then never set foot in the AHL again. They knew exactly what they were doing. So credit for pushing the button the right way, but also credit to knowing your guy too.

"So there's a great story. Jake Oettinger has always been driven by competition. As a freshman in high school, he takes Lakeville North to the state title game and then joins the U.S. National Development Team program as a sophomore, junior. He goes to Boston University. He graduated high school after his junior year and goes to Boston University as a 17-year-old, then gets drafted out by Dallas in the first round or anything like that.

"But one of the things that… There's the Holtby conversation, Holtby-Khudobin at the end. But there was, before that, some people forget because... So the Stars had also drafted Colton Point who was coming out of... Who had a tremendous collegiate career at collegiate, was someone who was really good, was part of the Canadian team for World Juniors. The reason Colton Point came out of college a year earlier was because he thought he had to come out a year earlier to get ahead of Jake Oettinger. — He tried to beat him to the punch? — He tried. He thought he had to. Yes, he thought he had to beat Oettinger to be a pro. He's like, if I get ahead of Otter...

"Where Oettinger, and I've talked to people who know Jake well about this, so they looked at it, and they're like, well, he's like, “Well, I don't need gimmicks. I'm just going to go beat him straight up.” It's like the Mad Men meme with Don Draper in the elevator when his understudy is like, “I feel sorry for you, I feel bad for you.” And then he just looks at him, he's like, "I don’t think about you at all.”

"That's Colton Point and Jake Oettinger, and Jake Oettinger is being like, “Yeah, do whatever you want, man. I'm coming. I'm going to take that job.”  I love that. That's a fantastic story."

*Casually Materialises*

No one asked for this but I don't care.

Characters that I fucking love from Fazbear Frights that I see barely anyone talking about because they didn't read past books 1-5 usually. Or they forget about them. Because that happens.

Spoilers if you haven't read the books ig??

1. Toby Billings

My beloved boy

He's so depressed lmao

Definitely got some shit going wrong

But we love him

And he deserves better that being tormented by a fucking shadow rabbit

Literally has no mother

She fucking left ✌️

But he has a brother (who is a dick)

And a dad (who supports the brother)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Bestie I hope ur ok

2. Jeremiah (I don't he has a last name, if he does, I forgot it and I refuse to check the wiki out of spite)

Also depressed probably

Needs therapy

Parker was so mean to him what the heck.

He was just vibin

And trying to finish his fucking job

And this bitch put spicy shit in his chips

>:(

Also Glitchtrap kinda makes him have to find Hope and Parker's disembodied pieces

So that's rude

3. Hudson

Why are all of these people depressed

Poor guy

Literally was trying to just leave his past behind him BC he couldn't deal with it

uNTIL SPRINGBITCH DECIDED HAHAHAHHA NO

I have a lot of hatred towards William.

4. Colton

Surprisingly, not depressed

Just a moron

I love his stupid little brain

You little dumb dumb

*headpat*

5. Sam

Bestie

Broski does film????

I do film!!!!!

Also I find him goofy

And Nole definitely spent way too long on the first 3 pages describing how he sits and stuff

I have no idea what his skin tone is because everyone keeps changing it and I am just gonna stick with like the original one I know for him lmao

He's so swag

(probably fruity ✨💅)

Does anyone want 5 (or more) characters I despise for dumb little reasons?

[walker-extended-universe]

Season 2 Deleted Scenes featuring Cassie Perez that really deserved to make the cut

2x11- Boundaries

Cassie drives a very drunk Dan Miller home from the Side Step. Laying down in the backseat, Dan rambles about how his life is crumbling to pieces. He claims that Denise and Gale were the first people that ever felt like family. Then they adopted Colton and it was all “set in stone”. But now, it was all falling apart.

Cassie asks what his plan is: to drink until it all goes away or drink until he forgets he exists. Dan says that she talks more than other rangers; they normally stay quiet, likely afraid that he’ll snitch on them to his wife. Cassie cheekily reminds him that Denise will soon be his ex-wife.

He sits up, saying that she’s not being very nice. She then says that he still has a chance if he cleans himself up. Dan thinks for a moment and says that she’s right. And he’s gonna figure out a way to show Denise what she means to him. He then thanks Cassie for her help. She says that’s what she’s here for and Dan lays back down in the seat.

2x13- One Good Thing

We see someone setting a Ranger hat down on a desk. The camera zooms out and we see that it’s Cassie. She sits down and looks around the office, apprehension, amazement, and disbelief on her face.

She reaches into the desk drawer and pulls out a sketch drawing of Cordell. This was Micki’s old desk. Looking at it makes her emotional; she may recognize it as the work of her predecessor.

In the background, Captain Larry James sees her and smiles before walking over. He’s happy to see that she’s moved into her own desk. He asks if she thinks she can live up to it. She shakes her head. “Not even a little bit, sir.”

James assures her that he thinks she can do it, especially after everything he’s already witnessed from her. Then he walks away, leaving her to process her new position.

2x19- A Matter of Miles

Cassie and James stand in his office. It’s dark outside the window.

James is asking Cassie for her opinion on Miles. She knows him better than everyone but he thinks that Miles is guilty of something. Cassie assures him that, whatever Miles is hiding, he has a good reason for it. James agrees that’s a possibility but they need Miles to come clean, now. Cassie says that she can handle that. James asks if she’s sure she’s up for it and says it’s alright if she needs to step back. Cassie declines his offer and asks him about Cole.

James thinks that Cole is at least as guilty as Miles in whatever is happening and says he’ll handle it. He then tells Cassie to do what she has to do to get Miles to talk but to stay within the lines. There’s a beat of silence, then Cassie says that she will. Then she leaves the office.

[manyfandomocs]

Colin's brother Colt Masterson has heard from him, now it's time to talk to the other two in his office...and it doesn't start well...

A headache was starting right behind his eyes as Colton Masterson looked out of his office window to the street below.  Maybe it was a tumor and would take him out quickly.  The coffee in his mug wasn’t going to help much to alleviate it, nor were the ibuprofen he’d almost chewed a few seconds earlier.  This day was going to be pure shit, there was no way around it.  All he could do now was pray that someone assassinated his client for one of the many sins he was guilty of, no matter whether he could be proven that way in court or not  As he waited for his partner and their paralegal to make it into the office, he considered hiring the assassin himself.  Fuck, who was he kidding?  He was considering doing it himself.

Colt had sent text messages to Dimitri Andromedev  and Abbigail Cresthaven an hour ago, as soon as he’d reached the office and gotten his temper under control, a small feat in intself.  He’d been on the phone with his brother, Colin, the entire way from his penthouse to the office; getting screamed at for ever having Constantin Rakeovich as a client and somehow blamed for the current situation that was transpiring with Colin’s intern.  Colt had never been one to back down from Colin, he actually enjoyed pissing his brother off and did it very effectively, but this wasn’t a situation where he wanted to further antagonize the other man.  There wasn’t much he could argue with what his brother was saying, and he hated that.  While they were not close, hell they barely could tolerate one another, they were still the only blood that either of them had left on the planet and there was something to that.  Not liking Colin was a whole lot different than tolerating someone threatening someone close to him or even his brother, himself.

As much as the Masterson brothers were vastly different, they were also very much alike.  The longer the time stretched on, the more anxious Colt became and he began to pace from one side of his office to another.  One hand ran over the stubble on his jaw, his elbow perched on his other forearm that was across his chest.  Anyone that knew him knew this was his pensive stance, and approaching him required announcing yourself first so he didn’t take your head off for breathing.  When deep in thought or ruminating on a point of a case, it was how you’d find him.  What was rolling through his head now was what the fuck his brother had done to have one of his interns being tortured, most likely to death?  And what was going to happen to Colin when they ran out of parts of the young woman?

This was the condition that Colt was found in when Dimitri made it into the office. Not one to be summoned, Dimitri wasn’t happy about it happening now.  What had crawled up Colt’s ass to have him demanding his presence as the ass crack of dawn at the office?  He had been doing surveillance work to dismantle a case against one of their clients for the entire night.  It had been after 2 AM when he’d gotten home so being up and at the office less than six hours later was not making him happy.  Not that the Russian was ever truly in a good mood, but this morning was especially foul.

“Trying to wear the carpet out so we have to replace it?” Dimitri stopped at the door watching Colt pace.  There was something wrong, the man in front of him’s whole demeanor just screamed it.  Arms crossed over his chest, until Colt shared what the fuck was going on, he was going no further.  As stubborn as the Masterson brothers could be, they paled in comparison to Dimitri.

“Yeah, because that is what I wanted you here for.” The sarcastic bite in Colt’s voice had Dimitri’s brows raising, but he said nothing.  “Sit down.  We need to wait for Abby.”  Colt’s demeanor was brusk.  He wasn’t in the mood for Dimitri’s sarcasm or bitter wit this morning.  Normally they had a rapport that flowed easily, but after the call from Colin, his mood and entire day, week, month, life was spiraling.  He might hate his brother, but he wouldn’t wish what Colin was going through on anyone.

“I’ll stand.  You pace.  Get whatever is up your ass out of it before she gets here.” It was not a request, it was a command, and one that now held the heavy Russian accent that he normally hid perfectly.  Dimitri’s jaw also had tensed.  Many would miss it, and that would be a mistake.  “Last thing she needs is your moody ass ruining her day any more than your demanding text first thing in the morning did.  I still don’t know why she puts up with you.”  Dimitri leaned up against the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest.  Colt was as tight as a bow string and if he snapped, he’d prefer there be a buffer between him and the only sane one in the office.  He hadn’t been lying when he said he didn’t know why Abby put up with Colt, fuck why did she put up with him either?

Running late, Abby was the last one to the office.  She’d been half way there when she’d gotten Colt’s text and she knew she would be.  Normally punctual, it seemed like everything conspired against her and there seemed to be far more police on the streets than usual.  Not that it mattered too much, but it meant that traffic was more snarled than usual.  Add it to why she hated her commute, but loved where she lived and where she worked.

Rushing into the office, she was greeted by the sight of Dimitri’s back in Colton’s doorway.  She’d worked with them for five years, and in that time she’d learned to read both of their body language.  While to some Dimitri might have looked relaxed against the door frame, to her he looked like a predator who was calculating the best way to strike.  That was never a good situation. The last time she’d seen him like that, they’d had to have a bookshelf in Colt’s office replaced from a client’s ex-husband being put into it. “Oh geez!  I’m the last one here. Sorry guys, I can’t seem to be anywhere on time today.”  Abby hustled into her office and dropped her coat and purse in her chair before scurrying back towards where Dimitri was standing.  “You can dock my pay again if this is considered late.  I’m so sorry!”  She hurried over, this wasn’t how she wanted the day to start.

A droll stare was cast over at Colt who had finally stopped the fucking pacing.  “You dock her pay?  EVER?” There was a growl to his voice, Dimitri was NOT amused by that bit of information.  Good god, was the man daft?  “I hope you’re paying her a ton of overtime as well then.” The woman worked long hours and while Colt was the one responsible for her pay, Dimitri figured it was far less than what she was worth.  He had never considered the fact that Colt would actually dock her pay for anything, not after all this time and it just being the three of them.

A hand ran down his face as Colt looked at his partner. Great, now there would be a fight over what he paid their assistant.  “No, I don’t dock her pay.”  He’d told her he would, yes.  He never had.  He wasn’t stupid.  If she left, they’d be lucky to find anyone who would last a day with their combined temperaments anymore.  He knew they were damn lucky she’d stayed for the five years she had.  Once she passed the bar, he had a feeling they would have to make her a partner as well, or they’d lose her.  Not something he wanted to think about at the moment.  

“Yes, I pay her overtime.  I’m not looking to have to hire another one.”  Colt swore he could hear Dimitri’s teeth grind.  For someone who stood up before a judge or jury and made legal arguments for a living, that was probably the worst phrased way he could have put that.  He just sighed, the hits were not going to stop coming today.  He held up a hand. “Before you say a god damned word, asshole, it has NOT been a good morning, and you KNOW what I meant.”  Maybe instead of someone assassinating Constantin, he could have them take him out instead.

ok so i need to write out my thoughts and i don’t want to make a reddit account and i like the people on tumblr better anyways. i’m watching season 27 of survivor, the blood vs water season, and i am just so disgusted with brad culpepper.

from the start, he decided to have an all guys alliance. i don’t know if it’s bc he’s used to being around other guys, but someone even mentioned it (i forget which tribe member) about him having his little “locker room group” or whatever.

he definitely targeted marissa just because she made a comment towards him during the first day and he’s salty. it’s so immature. it’s clear it was just him being petty and the others following along. and the fact that he then is surprised and confused by being disliked by people is wild to me. yes, they blame you because even though the tribe voted them out, you’re the one that’s clearly calling the shots. and people can say “it’s just a game”, but in this case, it does feel gross to me because of how he treats people and makes decisions.

yes, candace told her husband to give the clue to monica. but immediately, jeff pointed it out and commented on the dynamic. candace did say it with a firm and sneaky tone of voice, whereas when brad told monica to put it in the fire, he was much more demanding. but then jeff didn’t call that out. candace did comment on it, good for her. caleb later pointed that out when he was talking with the others back at camp, but they’re all ignoring the sexist undertones that’s been going on. from the start, brad didn’t even TRY to include the women on his tribe and it was very much a boys club. even when he told monica to put the clue in the fire, he said “atta girl”. notice how people refer to the guys as “men”, but how brad referred to his wife as a “girl” despite her being a full grown woman?

i’m also not a fan of her defending him when she got back to camp. we get it, he’s your husband. it’s clear that she’s some trophy/trad wife that does what her husband tells her to do and doesn’t question it.

i think it was stupid for them to have voted out john instead of brad. yes, john probably had the idol (i forget if he actually did or not), but he was way more trustworthy in general, less bossy, and the only one that took initiative to try to make an alliance outside of the guys group. if they voted out brad, then the other guys would have more control and say in the group in general and the girls would have been in a better position (i guess even now i’m saying girls… to be fair, katie and ciera are pretty young). hayden, john, vytas, and caleb would be much more open to including katie and ciera and working with them and letting them have a say in what goes on if brad were gone instead of john. therefore, i think it was a stupid move.

also, why was ciera so salty that rachel was chatting with john and not sticking to the girl group? rachel explained it well in her confessional and the logic tracks. they’re at a disadvantage, numbers wise, so it makes more sense for her to try to at least bro down with one or some of them than to stick to the other women. she’d at least be able to stick around longer and not be picked off as soon if the majority are just going to vote off the women (or one would assume, in a regular season, but this is different because of the season theme).

ciera was overly confident in her abilities and seeing her and katie get their butts kicked by their moms in the first puzzle and the sumo match was satisfying.

for context, i’m on like episode 4 i think? i’ve seen it before but am just rewatching.

i also love aras shutting colton down. i love their tribe’s dedication to directing addressing drama and making it clear they won’t tolerate it from the start. it’s not that “no one wanted to strategize”, but it’s that they know there’s no point for unnecessary drama and are all mature enough in general and experienced enough in the game for the most part that they’d rather relax, bond, have a good time, and win challenges before things get crazy. doing challenges while running on subpar sleep and meals with reduced calories is hard enough as it is. they’re not trying to make it harder than it needs to be. colton just can only be in control if there’s drama and chaos, so that’s what he wants. if he were more patient and planned better, he’d realize that his tactics only work on newbies and won’t work on the experienced players he was with, but there’s still a way to turn it around. he needed to adjust his strategy. if he gives up just because what worked before didn’t work immediately now, then that’s foolish. i truly hated how despicable he was, but i did read the reddit AMA he did from 2019 and it does seem that he’s matured a lot and grown as a person, so i’m content with that.

i guess i’ve growed up on the receiving end of a lot of bullies and people taking advantage of their authority, power, social statuses, etc over me and it’s always bothered me when it happens. it’s gross to see it play out on tv and especially when it’s not addressed.

i just want to watch to enjoy tyson and his antics, but brad and colton make it hard. monica makes it hard as well. the fact that she’s there the whole time is grating. her holier than thou, trophy/trad/christian wife persona is grating. every damn time, she goes on about how she’s going “to start playing for monica” and then goes along with what tyson and gervase want. god, she’s so dense.

and while we’re on brad culpepper, the way he treated tai in game changers was gross. people say he apologized during the reunion and he did, but i don’t buy it. people on reddit have said he seems like a genuinely nice person outside of the game. people have also said he’s admitted that he hates how he was on survivor when watching himself on tv. i guess i could believe that he’s typically a nice guy, but gets intense and competitive during things to where he gets ugly. but in that case, i do think he generally lacks self-awareness then, such as during his confessionals in blood vs water where he seems pretty confused as to why people are hating on him for voting people out, but then admits that he’s trying to make it SEEM like other people have a say in what goes on. so idk. i guess i find it slimy when people can be genuinely nice but in other contexts really get ugly. i know it happens and we’re all only human, but there fact that there seems to be a limit where civility and integrity and morals end is gross to me.

My url.. *places down gently with pretty knives for bucky*

Send me your URL and I’ll tell you…

'I cannot put into words exactly what I like about your writing' - me in the replies to this post.

you motherfucker. /affectionate

… My Opinion on; Character in general: I adore Colton. the first time I read his about, I was like, oh, he's too good, because like. look at him. but also he's incredibly fuckin interesting in both his backstory and the overall vibes that he has. he has such vibes of like, someone trying to do better than they learned and I love him for it.

also the fc choice was immaculate. I would not have ever, in a million years, thought 'oh an OC son of Steve? Gosling.' but he works so well that it feels almost like it should be an obvious pick? if that makes like, any sense.

anyway, love this bitch.

How they play them: kind of blurred into this with talking about the vibes but I'm gonna hit specificity (I hate that word) here because you saw fuckin 'I can't put it into words' and went 'shame. [sends url]' so this is what we fuckin get now. (this is joking aggression; I love Colton so much that I'm very happy to just ramble about him.)

so, I truly haven't read that many in character posts for him, but I have now gone through the coltisms search (the tag kept taking me to 'page not found' and I was like 'motherfucker I clicked on the tag from a post what the fuck are you on about'; just Tumblr things, I fuckin guess) and the headcanons. the headcanons.

other mutuals, go follow sonoftheshield if only to go through the coltisms search.

because we love some details. we love some casual angst. we love a little bit of 'this character don't know who the FUCK he is'. we love that depth. that consideration of legacy and how it weighs on someone to have to hold it up when it doesn't even feel like them.

and because we have all of that, it means we get this character who on the surface seems like he knows exactly who he is and what he's about but then you get that vibe. you get that itty bitty vibe of something else and not in the inhuman way, but in the oh, there's something.

also he kinda feels like he's barely holding it together sometimes, to which I say... angst? wanna pull him apart at the seams and see how he work? I'll hand over the scalpal.

The Mun: we have barely spoken and should probably speak more but ye good with the rambling replies and ye didn't delete the ask that was a fnaf phone guy bit so I think you're great.

Do I: RP with them: yes. I've been trying to reply to our thread for like a week and keep getting distracted. I'm so sorry.

Want to RP with them: always also I was reading one of your headcanon posts (this one) and I need to message you bcus I had A Thought. this is my reminder to me to message you about The Thought.

What is my; Overall Opinion: I feel like I gave my opinion really well in the replies to that post up there somewhere, but I still think it's fuckin wild that you used to want to write with me from seeing me presumably turning up on your dash given some of the absolute unhinged shit that has been posted from me either in asks or just my own OOC posts (and it's still hilarious that you said that after I sent an ask rping as Phone Guy, like are you sure?) but I really am both surprised and glad that you wanted to write together because Colton is so damn interesting and you seem like such a great person.

wins all round, tbh, and people should be following you if they aren't already.
