We need to talk about this

#I have a lot of thoughts

This post is awesome, obviously, but it did not go where I thought it was going, and that is why I called this meeting. Ahem.

I took “it’ll be an experiment.” As the justification of the first time they have sex. And it goes well. Their friendship/working relationship is holding up. Maybe some hypotheses are being formed? Maybe some questions arise? The data is inconclusive. Theories have to be tested, and the results must be repeatable for the conclusion to be accurate. The data pool isn’t large enough. It’s not an experiment if it’s an isolated event. They need more sample data.

And the running gag is the need to collect more data. The first encounter would act as the control, and each consecutive time is testing, recording, and adjusting the hypothesis. Maybe not even in the literal sense, though it could be. There could be charts. It would be hilarious, and so long as it was funny, it wasn’t serious. Just an experiment. Just a gag.

And Peter’s enhancement could be included or excluded, and they would still be lying to themselves and each other about it the whole time. But then at the end when they catch feelings and their respective anxious/avoidant attachment styles kick in, they have all this data.

Anyway. My brain arrived here before my eyes arrived at the punchline and I wanted to talk about it without feeling like I was disrespecting the original post/blogger (I would never)

#that’s how they flirt with each other

Here he is. Politely watching true crime on the back of the sofa.

“I care more about my High Priest than I do about some backwater roving preacher hiding deep in the closet behind his JCPenney shirts"

Me, hiding deep in the closet behind my JCPenney shirts:

not a preacher and I never will be

Is this finished? I want to include this moodboard too.

Yep! Go ahead and use it

Done 2/3

Done 3/3

Done 1/3

What have I done?!?!?

I had a complete story. It was finished.

Now I'm trying to calculate how long it would take to walk from

Church of Our Lady of the Scapular–St. Stephen

to Washington Square if you went down 3rd street.... I've been writing since 2 pm...

What are you doing??? That’s so funny.

drkoestersmithrpg

I just added another 2,682 words to the story.

Hope you like longing.

I’ve been known to yearn.

OK I WENT TO A PROTEST AND GOT A COUGH.

That means I OBVIOUSLY need to spend THE ENTIRE DAY in bed. No exceptions. Going to bed right now.

I am going to flush out the story a little more - add some more longing, some more fleshing out of the concept that Tony now as Peter The Sweetheart, but just lost Peter The Model, and is mourning him. (If you didn't guess, THAT was the moment that I realized this story HAD to turn into a "Imagine your OTP." I WAS just going to summarize it as Starker, but then I realized I could just re-write the whole thing. Sadly it will NOT be the #9,000th Starker story. It won't even be the #10,000th story. Oh well.)

Anything else you think the story needs a little more of?

I can’t think of anything. I was on “vacation” and I didn’t want to put it down. It’s a good story.

I kept meaning to ask if your pronoun changes for Peter were intentional, but I guess I decided at the end that they were intentional and it worked and then I completely forgot to bring it up.

I hope you enjoy your nap/rest.

Okay, so this ⬆️ is the remake of this ⬇️

I will add this ⬇️ if the pics are right

drkoestersmithrpg

yes!

sweet! I’ll get to work!

These are the moodboards I'm supposed to be polishing, right??

#1

#2

Just going to to some slight color and light tweaking

Okay, so this ⬆️ is the remake of this ⬇️

drkoestersmithrpg

Okay. Coherent.

I think that these two are a must:

and this means we dont need any other pics of books.

AND

That will be all the skin for this moodboard.

Then... the only thing I think MUST be in the set is the wagon, Tony, and either the easel or the paint. (If you make more than one moodboard, i'll just post them both in the story.)

I don't really care if Peter's FACE is in the moodboard or not - that profile of a face is perfect and it will do.

I’m glad you like the profile. I like that one too. Couldn’t justify it, but It’s such a good pic.

These six, right??

drkoestersmithrpg

no, the other candle picture. The one of the candle in front of books on a shelf.

Oh, sorry didn’t catch that.

Wait wait wait, I forgot about this
