it actually makes me so soft that shane, despite not being into the ghost scene as much or even believing in them, is down to do whatever ryan asks him to do during ghost investigations because hey that’s his buddy.

on the other hand, ryan, despite being so annoyed at shane’s elaborate silly little stories (as we saw during the hot daga) , agrees to act out however shane asks him to during puppet history to add to the crazy lore because hey shane’s just being his creative goofy self and that’s his best friend of course he’d do what he’s asked to.

Gettin back into the watcher scene (was super into them for a couple years then fell out of interest at the beginning of watcher and now the hyperfixation is back with a VENGANCE) and I just wanted to say I’m super glad you’re still around!!! You were always one of my favorite blogs and I remember so many people being so anti of your blog in particular, so I find it entertaining that their blogs are all down or abandoned and you’re the actual faithful fan that’s stuck w the boys since day one. Goes to show how much they just cared about policing people’s interests rather than supporting our boys. Much love!!!! (And I hope this message makes sense/isn’t an overstep. Feel free to ignore if it is!!!) :)))

Welcome back! I hope you're having as much fun the second time as it was the first.

I'm really actually very happy to see a few old faces make their return this year and very moved that you remember my old antics around the tag. I've slowed down some and been focusing more on being on discord with some good friends I've made since those days so I don't answer asks with quite as much diligence as I used to but I do appreciate a message like this now and then.

It is funny that all the big name antis of yore have kind of scuttled away, but then again yes, I agree because I've always held that anyone who spends their time in fanspaces attacking and policing what others are doing aren't really having that much fun with the medium; they're really sitting there hoping they'll be rewarded in fan heaven for being righteous and pure. You know? To be "the good fan" who never did fandom wrong according to the standards and practice of something someone made up and it's also usually because interacting with transformative content is vilified so terribly now that people would rather think of creative ways to bully and terrorise other fans than interact with fanfiction or fanart. That is also why the rest of the fanspace, if they choose to ignore and block people like that, has a better longevity.

Since the dawn of fandom, that's been the case. It's the authors and the artists carry the yoke of the creator's influence and you'd be surprised how many more people just like me who say "ship and let ship" are at the helm supporting Watcher because we grew up in a time where it was deeply embarrassing to make your whole presence online revolve around hating a specific thing. Mortifying behavior but anyways....

IT’S SPOOKY SEASON! So I thought it would be a great idea to create a rec list with spooky-themed stories featuring the boys - let them find the ghouls they’ve been looking for this holiday season. 

ONWARDS!

Fate Bit by ouijaboy (nbfutureboy) | ft. ghosts | M, 30k | When Shane Madej goes on a spooky historical tour in an old mining town, he has no idea his worldview is about to be turned upside down. 

My Body Aches to Breathe Your Breath by trinityofone | ft. ghosts | E, 3k | “We should probably fight this,” Ryan says. “Probably,” Shane agrees, but his voice is muffled because he’s nipping at the curve of Ryan’s ass.

Modus Broperandi by strawberrymilano | ft. ghosts | E, 28k | Shane’s never had a bro bone in his body. Except, lately… Lately, whenever he sees a bro, he falls into natural bro behavior. It’s an out-of-body experience.

if you can find a way to love me, it’s all right by varnes | ft. ghosts | T, 11k | Ryan, personally, has three lists: “NICE GHOSTS,” “GHOSTS I DON’T FUCK WITH,” and, “IDK, SPOOKY STUFF.”

The Ghost of Ryan Present by Siria | ft. ghosts | T, 3k | "Great news!“ Ryan said, grinning ear to ear. "I’m dead!”

collapse in threads by sky_somedays | ft. ghosts | T, 20k | “Shane Madej, did you just use a basketball reference to tell me you want to be my superhero sidekick?” Shane’s expression is long-suffering. “Jesus Christ. You got me. That’s the insidiousness of your influence.“

A Local History by enjambament | ft. ghosts | E, 27k | Ryan is a real estate agent that specialises in haunted property. Shane’s new to town and looking to buy. 

two to fall apart by orphan_account | ft. serial killers | T, 38k | Ryan wants to investigate a case that’s just a little too recent for Shane’s tastes.

The Genius of the Western River by Siria | ft. serial killers | T, 13k | Shane’s totally working on being flippant about all those times he joked about Ryan’s godlike physique, never suspecting how true those jokes might be—the two of them just have to defeat a supernatural serial killer first. 

Caught In A Trap (but I swear I’m not the devil) by velarisstars | ft. demons | T, 10k | Ryan and Shane found a new location to shoot in for the seventh season of Buzzfeed Unsolved, but this place isn’t quite like the others. It’s pretty legit.

human-being is an impish creature by colazitron | ft. misc creatures | T, 1.4k | It all very nearly turns into a nightmare.

the light the moon sends back by bodhirookes | ft. misc creatures | T, 28k |  Ryan moves to Michigan to find himself again, and ends up finding more than he could have ever bargained for.

Sticks and Stones by sequence_fairy | ft. cursed object | M, 18k | Shane brings a little something back with him after an Unsolved trip to the Catskill Mountains in New York.

This...is....GOLD 😂

[psychicbergara]

here's a completely self-indulgent compilation of shane lovingly looking at ryan in a rough timeline order since 2015..

like wow he's still looking at him like that huh :')

[vvanvovietvanvovan]

I just need you guys to know that Shane moved to the slope for Ryan to walk the stairs

[levyfiles]

Ryan and Steven: *arguing about basketball* Ryan: You set the time and place, big boy Shane: Oh, you're talking to Steven--

[cue Ryan and Steven's argument fading to the background of the white noise in Shane's head as for forty-five seconds of hell Shane sits in the swamp of embarrassment that everyone now knows he thinks of himself as 'big boy' in Ryan's voice and he takes every inch of those seconds to recover. RIP.]

you know them as the ghoul boys, the berry boys, and now the pee pals ❃

For the fans who were sucked back in just in time for Ghost Files, here’s one Shyan fic posted in each month of 2022 for you to catch up on! Welcome back to us.

Now, THE CONTENT. 

The Wall Between Us by buzzfeedunwritten (loudmouthraccoon) | posted Jan. 25, 2022 | E, 29k | In order to get over his hopeless crush on Shane, Ryan finds himself at an establishment specifically designed for the purpose of safe anonymous sex.It goes about as well as you would imagine.

The Thermostat by GomorrahHillsides (Within_N_Without) | posted Feb. 20, 2022 | E, 12k | When arguing over the thermostat blatantly means ‘I love you’.

I Can’t Describe It, There’s Nothing Like It by withcoffeespoons | posted Mar. 11, 2022 | E, 7.7k | "Wait, oh my god, when you told her you were bringing somebody home for the 4th, she thought…“ "That I was bringing somebody home.” Shane shrugged.

i’ll pray you wanna get close to me by 2many2spirits (creature_from_the) | posted Apr. 17, 2022 | E, 25k | He went to raise the hand Shane didn’t have pinned to his own thigh, but he reached over Ryan and grabbed that hand too, effectively yanking Ryan closer to him. 

eyes of doe & thighs of stallion by Anonymous | posted May. 17, 2022 | T, 8k | Ryan has never been called “pretty” before.

For Now, We’ll Lay by The Ocean by jacarsia | posted Jun. 8, 2022 | E, 24k | The first two thoughts that ran through Shane’s head when he shook Ryan Bergara’s hand for the first time were: this is one gorgeous man, and there’s no way he’s human. 

The Grand Adventures of Suburbia Shane by idkspookystuff | posted Jul. 9, 2022 | E, 11k | Not quite remembering where or when he fell asleep is not an irregular occurrence in the life of Ryan Bergara; an expert insomniac, who often lulls himself to sleep by worrying about various projects. What is an irregularity is opening his eyes only to see an unfamiliar ceiling; feeling an unfairly soft mattress under his back, and, after stretching out, thunking Shane on the arm.

makin’ yourself up as you go along by drunkkenobi | posted Aug. 10, 2022 | E, 8k | Shane steps off-camera and gives her a thumbs up. Ryan squares her shoulders and clears her throat. When Annie gives the signal, she reads from the teleprompter the words that took her over thirty-one years to speak. “Hi. I’m Ryan Bergara and I’m a transgender woman.”

The Wolf King by PhyllisDietrichson | posted Sep. 22, 2022 | T, 4.9k | “Then let’s say it reminds me that I am a man. Will that satisfy you?”

d’aw.
