SHORT N' SWEET BY SABRINA CARPENTER.

TASTE.

i leave quite an impression.

you'll just have to taste me when he's kissing you.

just know i was already there.

i'm gone, but you're still laying next to me.

i know i've been known to share.

five feet to be exact.

he pins you down on the carpet, makes paintings with his tongue.

what are the odds, you send me a text.

every time you close your eyes and feel his lips, you're feeling mine.

if you want forever, i bet you do, just know you'll taste me too.

you can have him if you like, i've been there, done that once or twice.

well, i heard you're back together and if that's true, you'll just have to taste me when he's kissing you.

all his jokes hit different, guess where he learned them from.

you'll just have to taste me.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

i know i have good judgement.

if you wanna go and be stupid, don't do it in front of me.

please please please.

i'm just kidding. but really, kinda.

i know i have good taste.

i know you're craving some fresh air.

everyone makes mistakes, but just don't.

don't prove i'm right.

we could live so happily if know one knows that you're with me.

whatever devil's inside you, don't let him out tonight.

don't bring me to tears when i just did my makeup so nice.

heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another.

i have a fun idea, babe, maybe just stay inside.

it's funny and it's ironic that only i feel that way.

i heard that you're an actor, so act like a stand up guy.

i beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker.

GOOD GRACES.

i won't give a fuck about you.

i'm sweet like an angel.

you really like it being mine.

no one's more amazing.

you do something sus, kiss my cute ass bye.

it's not that complicated, you should stay in my good graces.

i know a lot of guys.

let me give you some advice.

that was cool.

break my heart and i swear i'm moving on.

no one's more amazing at turning loving into hatred.

want you every second.

it's not that complicated.

you do somethin' suspect, this cute as bye-bye.

i'll switch it up like that, so fast.

don't need other guys.

you should stay in my good graces.

dreaming of writing vows, rocking cradles.

don't mistake my nice for naive.

SHARPEST TOOL.

i know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed.

on a tuesday, send a soft hey.

we don't talk about it.

we never talk about how you found god at your ex's house.

we had sex, i met your best friends.

all the silence just makes it worse.

seems like overnight, i'm just the bitch you hate now.

lying to yourself if you think we're fine.

you're confused, and i'm upset.

then you logged out, leaving me dumbfounded.

if that was casual, then i'm an idiot.

all the silence is just your strategy.

you guilt-tripped me to open up to you.

left me with a lot of shit to second guess.

i don't hear a word 'til your guilt creeps in.

we never talk about it.

i'm looking for an answer between the lines.

we were going right, then you took a left.

i don't hear a word.

COINCIDENCE.

she knew, she's got a real sixth sense.

what a surprise, your phone just died.

this week you're holding space for her tongue in your mouth.

now she's in the same damn city at the same damn time.

last week you didn't have any doubts.

she's sending you some pictures wearing less and less.

damn it, she looks kinda like the girl you outgrew, 'least that's what you said.

you've lost all your common sense.

your car drove itself from l.a. to her thighs.

oh wow, you just broke up again.

the way you told me the truth, minus seven percent.

what a coincidence.

palm springs looks nice, but who's by your side?

that's what you said.

BED CEHM.

who's the cute boy with the white jacket?

maybe it's all in my head, but i bet we'd have really good bed chem.

come right on me.

i bet the thermostat's set at sixty nine.

you're not in my timezone, but you wanna be.

make me go.

i bet we'd both arrive at the same time.

i know i sound a bit redundant.

how you're looking at me, yeah, i know what that means.

i was in a sheer dress, the day that we met.

i bet it's even better than in my head.

are you free next week?

where art thou? why not uponeth me?

come right on me, i mean camaraderie.

i bet we'd both arrive at the same time.

who's the cute guy with the wide, blue eyes and the big bad mm?

how you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round.

maybe it's all in my head.

you talk so sweet when you're doing bad things.

see it in my mind, let's fulfill the prophecy.

oh, it just makes sense.

and what are the odds? you send me a text.

ESPRESSO.

now he's thinking 'bout me every night.

i can't relate to desperation.

holy shit.

i know i mountain dew it for ya.

i'm working late, 'cause i'm a singer.

my honeybee.

you can't sleep, baby, i know.

i got this one boy, and he won't stop calling.

walked in and dream-came-tued it for ya.

that's that me espresso.

my twisted humor make him laugh so often.

is it that sweet?

too bad your ex don't do it for ya.

that morning coffee, i brewed it for ya.

my give a fucks are on vacation.

switch it up like nintendo.

when they act this way, i know i got 'em.

i guess so.

oh, he looks so cute wrapped 'round my finger.

move it up, down, left, right.

DUMB & POETIC.

you're so dumb and poetic.

cherry-pick lines like they're words you invented.

you're so empathetic, you'd make a great wife.

baby, you put us in this situation.

i promise the mushrooms aren't changing your life.

try to come off like you're soft and well spoken.

just 'cause you act like one doesn't make you a man.

it's just what i fall for.

you're so sad.

fuck with my head like its some kind of fetish.

you're running so fast from the heart's that you're breaking.

don't think you understand.

just cause you talk like one, doesn't make you a man.

there's no communication.

save all your breath for your floor meditation.

you crashed the car and abandoned the wreckage.

every self-help book, you've already read it.

"love everyone" is your favourite quotation.

you're so sad, there's no communication.

just 'cause you leave like one doesn't make you a man.

SLIM PICKINS.

guess i'll end this life alone.

he's naked in my room.

the lord forgot my gay awakening.

all the douchebags in my phone, i play 'em like a slot machine.

if i can't have the one i love, i guess it's you that i'll be kissin.

these are just the thoughts that pass right through me.

i am not dramatic.

a boy who's nice, that breathes.

the good ones call their exes wasted.

i'll just be here in the kitchen.

can't find his ass to save my life.

jesus, what's a girl to do?

i'll just keep moanin' and bitchin'.

this boy doesn't even know the difference between "there," "their" and "they are".

it's slim pickins.

the good ones are deceased or taken.

if they're winnin', i'm just losin'.

JUNO.

don't have to tell your hot ass a thing.

can't help myself, hormones are high.

one of me is cute, but two though?

i'm so fuckin' horny.

you know i just might let you lock me down tonight.

if you love me right, then who knows?

god bless your dad's genetics.

mark your territory.

adore me.

wanna try out my fuzzy pink handcuffs?

give it to me baby.

wanna try out some freaky positions?

i showed my friends, then we high-fived.

you make me wanna make you fall in love.

i might let you make me juno.

have you ever tried this one?

i like the way you fit.

hold me and explore me.

tell me i'm the only, only, only, only one.

you just get it.

sorry if you feel objectified.

i know you want my touch for life.

give me more than just some butterflies.

late at night, i'm thinking 'bout you.

LIE TO GIRLS.

i'm stupid but i'm clever.

all of your best excuses.

you don't have to lift a finger.

like you, they'll just lie to themselves.

isn't ideal, but damn.

girls will do it till the day they die for you.

we love to read the cold hard facts, and swear they're incorrect.

it's lucky for you i'm just like my mother.

they don't stand a chance against all the chances i give you.

there's no need to pretend.

girls will lose their goddamn minds for you.

i can make a shitshow look a whole lot like forever.

girls will cry and girls will lie.

don't swear on your mom.

we love to mistake butterflies for cardiac arrest.

the girl outside the strip club getting her tarot cards read.

don't say it was just an isolated incidence that happened once.

i've never seen an ugly truth i can't bend.

you don't have to lie to girls.

you don't even have to try.

don't i know it better than anyone else?

if they like you, they'll just lie to themselves.

DON'T SMILE.

you're supposed to think about me every time you hold her.

i don't wanna be tempted.

my friends are taking shots.

don't smile because it happened, baby. cry because it's over.

i think i need a shower.

you can fake it, but you know i know.

i want one of them to take my phone, and lose your number.

i want you to miss me.

you think it's happy four, for me it's not.

cry because it's over.

fallin' faster than the way you love to shut me down.

my heart is heavy now.

don't smile because it happened.

[churchfoundlinga]

what if wrote things on here tomorrow?

[churchfoundlinga]

@startold gets a starter as a reward for doing things! (2 of 2), ruby & connor.

they still have some time before they need to leave for work and despite having the entire morning together thus far, ruby is still eager to be close to connor. oh, how their relationship has blossomed since they got back together. she's happy, she's pretty sure he's happy too... she adores waking up to him every morning, a fact she made known the moment he woke up! but now, she's waited for him to come out of the bedroom before practically jumping out. ❛ get over here you.❜ hands reach out for him, pulling him down towards her so the blonde can give him a kiss, though she does have to remind herself to keep it short. they do need to leave soon, after all. despite pulling back from him, her hands remain in his chest. ❛ you drive. i'll keep my hands t' myself, promise. could even grab a coffee before we get there! ❜

[startold-moved-deactivated20250]

❝ oh, did he? ❞ she turns to look at the other, face still revealing nothing. ❝ did you two talk? ❞ of course she did it on purpose. if she has to watch them pining for each other from opposite sides of the ARC for one more day, she might scream.

[churchfoundlinga]

❛ i'm thinkin' you knew he was there. ❜ that's an accusation right there. hearing jess ask that question makes her sigh. ❛ a couple words here and there, nothin' important. ❜ and nothing close to what she wishes she could say. ❛ i dunno if you did that so we would talk but it ain't gonna work. we're over, i messed everythin' up and maybe you should... i dunno, help him find someone that'll not ruin everythin'. ❜

[startold-moved-deactivated20250]

he's bleary eyed & sore when the plane arrives back in england. there's still forest debris in his damp hair, clothes clinging to him as he walks through the airport with the team. he knows ruby is here somewhere waiting for them- for him. he keeps his eyes peeled for her. it's only been a few days, but god, he's got so much to tell her. finally, he sees her & he waves his broken arm at her before wincing & letting it drop back down. oh yeah- he needs to get that looked at too. natacha did the best she could with the resources, but it needs a proper pot on it.

a starter for @churchfoundling

[churchfoundlinga]

a few days, a few weeks, a few months... it's still too long without seeing him. sure, she's missed abby and cutter too, worried about them. but her feelings for him are entirely different. she likes him. a lot. crushing pretty hard. and sure, no one has really told her what happened but, truthfully, all she needs to know right now is that they were going to collect them. which means she can just talk to him again. it's the little things. eyes fall on him and there's a massive grin that appears on her face. if her feelings weren't obvious already... ❛ connor! ❜ her excitement takes over and she runs towards him, arms open as she jumps. ❛ i've missed ya. ❜

Friends-to-More Starters

“You’re my best friend. I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else.”

“I’m glad I have you here. Being like this is easy with you.”

“At first, having feelings for you was awkward— but now I can’t fathom anything else.”

“I’ve known you for years, (insert name). Can we please drop the pretenses and be honest with each other, for once?”

“I know you don’t feel the same, but I need to get this off my chest.”

“Can you believe how far we’ve come?”

“You’ve been pouting ever since I went on that date. What’s going on?”

“I’m totally not jealous, but this time is for us— please don’t share it with other people.”

“But— you said you’d go there with me. Was that just something you said to make me feel better?”

“Come lie with me, please. I’ve had a bad day— I don’t want to be alone right now.”

“I told her we weren’t dating, but she didn’t believe me.”

“Wait— when did you get so beautiful/handsome/hot?”

“Are you sure you wanna leave the house in that? It’s awfully— revealing.”

“Okay— so maybe this is a date. Is that so bad?”

“Are you— trying to turn me on?”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to call you my girlfriend/boyfriend— it just slipped out.”

“I didn’t mean to kiss you. It just sorta— happened.”

“I had this dream that we were married.”

“I had this dream that we kissed— and a sorta want to try it now.”

“Okay— so maybe I am a little jealous. So what? I can’t help it.”

“Just remember, I’m the one who taught you how to (insert intimate activity).”

“I know this sounds lame— but they’re not good enough for you.”

“Are you saying you want to kiss me?”

“Why are you blushing so hard?”

“I’m actually really offended that you didn’t ask me to go with you.”

“Friends can make-out every now and then— right? That’s not weird or anything.”

“I know we’re not together— but I want you to be my first.”

“I want my first kiss to be special—and you’re the most important person in my life right now. Will you kiss me, if I ask, or would that be too weird?”

“Whoa— umm— will you excuse me? I need to run to the bathroom really quick.”

“Look, I know we’re not together. But— we’re both in good places in our lives, and neither of us have any prospects. Do you think there’s a chance we might — well, we already act like an old, married couple, so—”

“Is it weird if I tell you I could see you as the mother/father of my children?”

“I know we said this was a ‘pretend relationship’— but what if we tried ‘for real’?”

[startold-moved-deactivated20250]

connor opens the door & quickly ushers her inside & closes the door again. he doesn't need the two diictodon's getting out & starting a scandal. lester might fire him. again. he leads ruby into the living room where the dinosaurs are squawking at each other. ❝ ... this is sid & nancy. ❞

[churchfoundlinga]

she can't help but worry slightly more when he gets her inside with haste. she's ready to question his shady behaviour when she's brought into the living room, eyes falling on the dinosaurs, before she looks at connor. ❛ connor! why d'ya 'ave dinosaurs kickin' round this place? ❜ then she registers the names. ❛ names are good choices though. but seriously?! ❜

[churchfoundlinga]

@startold gets a thing for nick as promised!

❛ sooo... professor, what is it? ❜ she gestures to the thing on his desk, daring not to get too close. she doesn't know what it might do if she gets too near. or worse, if she were to touch it. curiosity may not have killed the cat but it did get ruby chased by a dinosaur. and now, here she was, part of a team that she couldn't have ever imagined existing.

[halfaghst]

"yeah. rough." he lays his head against ruby's shoulder.

[churchfoundlinga]

❛ i've got ya, kid. you're all safe now. ❜ and she wraps an arm around him, holding him close.

[e11evnth-a]

❝ oh! well, i wasn't expecting that! ❞

@churchfoundling / sc.

[churchfoundlinga]

❛ oh, i did! ❜ and there's a glance in his direction.

[driftvoid]

"Watch what you say. The trees have ears." | @churchfoundling LIKED.

[churchfoundlinga]

❛ what, like, literal ears? ❜ new planet, new lifeforms. it's not a massive leap that somewhere out there has trees with actual ears on them. ❛ do they judge ya? ❜

[churchfoundlinga]

i literally just logged on to post this but... connor: *does anything* ruby:

@startold

[starsbuilt]

#𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐁𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐓. she loved the stars so much that she built her entire life around them.

❝ i don't know what you're talking about. ❞ jess looks at her screens- she does have a very good poker face when she wants to. ❝ i didn't cancel on purpose, something just came up. ❞

@churchfoundling / sc.

[churchfoundlinga]

she doesn't buy it, not in the slightest. ❛ summat came up? last minute? ❜ she'll push further but, honestly, she doesn't have a lot of hope that jess will admit anything. ❛ jess, he was there too. meetin' ya. you triple bookin' yourself? ❜
