Bri || 23 || she/her or they/them || ao3: dearzoemurphy your friendly neighborhood lover of sitcoms from the 2010’s that utilize the found family trope • not-so-newly minted swiftie • writer • supporter of toxic hets • attempted gifmaker • Riverdale season 3 enthusiast
hi I am getting back to tumblr because every other social media is an absolute hellscape and I just got the Adobe suite back and I wanna share silly things and partake in the silly things of others. but many of the people I follow are inactive and I need some new mutuals!! (old mutuals I love you mwah feel free to stop by and say hi anytime)
my current largest fixation is the Disney Zombies franchise cause why wouldn’t it be. other interests always in the rotation are Community, Parks and Rec, The Good Place, New Girl, and other sitcoms from the 2010’s of that nature. love me some Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift. always carrying a flame for Ever After High. but honestly haven’t consumed that much media over the last few years and am finally in the position to change that!
come say hi and hang out with me here if we happen to both inhabit the middle of my weird and complex Venn diagram <3
watched some episodes of Community season 1 the other day and they hit like absolutely nothing else. I haven't seen any of it in sooooo long and the jeffbritta of it all. I feel like I'm 18 in my room watching my Community DVDs on my 10 year old Macbook that sounds like a jet engine when I try to watch and write at the same time
hi sorry I've been gone again and then re-appeared with a gif set of a 33 y/o white man. in short, I ended my relationship of two years :D due to repeated betrayals of various forms :D and I saw the band Waterparks about a week after our initial separation and did a meet & greet and it was genuinely one of the best nights of my life so now my breakup hyperfixation is the band Waterparks. everything else in life is still pretty chill! but y'know. the years start coming and they don't stop coming
I love popping on here and reblogging a random jeffbritta post every so often and then seeing all my treasured jeffbritta mutuals reblog it as well. treasured jeffbritta mutuals I think of you fondly <3
An Unspoken Attraction [stevie/twyla, G, 2,907] by @metalshootingstar

Patrick and David hold hands and Patrick has a lot of feelings about it.
you turn me into somebody loved [david/patrick, M, 11,872] by wardo_wedidit
“I thought you’d like winter, for someone who has so many sweaters,” Patrick teases him as they bundle up to head back to the store after lunch one day, smirking at David’s frown.
“I like it as an aesthetic,” David pouts, fumbling with the buttons on his coat with some difficulty as he’s already pulled his mittens on. “I’m not opposed to fireplaces and hot cocoa and scarves? It’s just frostbite, and snow on designer cashmere, and black ice that I have a problem with.”
Or, their first holidays together in Schitt’s Creek, David and Patrick decide to give each other homemade gifts, and David learns to love winter.

I like the way you let me lead you (When we go outside and walk) [david/patrick, T, 3,124] by Thunder_Cakes
David's feeling broody.
“I just…” One of David’s hands escapes to flail around his face. “I guess I’m realizing that I want to add to our little family. Like we’re missing a little piece.”
“Are you talking about looking for a third? I know it’s been awhile since we’ve invited Jake over, but—“
“No, no, no. Honey no. Jake is hung like a horse and has a mouth like a Hoover and we should absolutely give him a call soon, but that’s not what I mean.”
Inside Scoop [david/patrick, T, 2,024] by swat117
Patrick and David: ice cream elitists. It was an accident, they swear.
Lessons in Love [david/patrick, E, 81,449] by @mickeysmyheart

The high school AU you all know you want
Let Me Hold Your Crown [david/patrick, E, 4,606] by @asoftplacetoland

Size Matters [david/patrick, T, 1,441] by @agoodpersonrose
Patrick wonders whether or not David has any issues with his height.
So let my body do the talking [david/patrick, E, 2,733] by @kiwiana-writes
So really, what comes out of his mouth next is David’s fault: David, who is looming over him with that little half-smile he does like he’s trying to tuck it away and failing; David, who is gazing down at him with blazing eyes; David, who says “So what do you want for our last night here?”
Patrick can’t be blamed, given that he’s the focus of all of that, for breathing out, “I want you to spank me.”
Something a lil sexy [david/patrick, E, 3,547] by @samwhambam

better not let him in [david/patrick, M, 532] by @dinnfameron
When Patrick was bitten, when he’d first turned, he'd hated it. He despised what it turned him into for that one night each month when the moon hung full and predatory in the sky. He had felt out of control, powerless against the pull of the wolf inside him. He’d felt like a… well, like a monster.
But he doesn’t feel that way anymore.
Don't Let Go [david/patrick, E, 1,292] by not_the_label
Patrick's need had crossed the threshold into that heady place where it’s hard to tell what’s pleasure and what’s pain. But he knew from the times he’d played like this before, both solo and with David, that he could wait longer. A lot longer.
I Guess I’ll Just Lie Here [david/patrick, G, 842] by @thesleepyskipper
David flips the light on his bedside table off, plunging most of the room into darkness. He returns his phone to the charger. He lays back on his pillow, then turns onto his side. He puts his arm beneath the pillow. Too hot. He puts his arm across the pillow, then bends it, tucking his head into his elbow. Too cold. He pulls the blankets higher. He just can’t get comfortable.
“Patrick, come to bed, please.”
right where he left her [david/patrick, G, 1,317] by @patrckbrewer
It didn’t matter what happened in the in between, Rachel was always right where Patrick left her. Because he always came back. It didn’t matter what other girls he dated, Patrick always came back to Rachel, who was always waiting.
Rachel would have never anticipated David Rose.
Roland Around in Self-Pity [david/patrick, G, 574] by @walnuts-and-berries

The Proposal [david/patrick, NR, 1,345] by PositivelyBedeviledSchitthead
Patrick changes his mind and doesn't ask David to marry him on their hike--it's just not perfect enough. He decides on a different plan and gets the whole town involved.
The Softest Launch [david/patrick, G, 2,537] by @cheesecurdsgravyandfries
He gets three strides into the office-slash-storage space before he realizes exactly what he just did.
Oh fuck. Oh no. No no no. He couldn’t have just casually kissed Patrick, his business partner, whom he is 87% sure is straight, as though it was something they do every day and -
Fuck.
**Now with Patrick's POV in Chapter 2!**
There Was a Boy [david/patrick, E, 30,445] by @hippolotamus
The Moulin Rouge was the height of underworld entertainment for the rich and powerful of Paris, a place to escape the everyday and be plunged into a world of lust and thirst. Men wore their finest black tailcoat tuxedos; women like Stevie were adorned in suits or dresses with plunging necklines.
The dance hall swirled with scantily clad entertainers bedecked in jewelry, boas and far more makeup than necessary. It was a riot of colors and fabrics. Entering the hall, we were hit with a wall of music that took my breath away. Stevie gave me a knowing smirk and offered me her arm in escort. The look she gave me said, “You’ll get used to it, move along.” She breezed through the crowd until the five of us were seated in a private box, perfect for watching the show. Champagne and absinthe flowed like fountains, inviting us to give in to our most worldly desires.
“Stevie, are you sure this will work?”
She gazed casually out at the dance floor before turning to me, “No.”
-or-
The extremely self-indulgent Moulin Rouge AU that *some* of you asked for.

[Podfic] Ring Toss [stevie/ruth, G, podfic] by @lilythesilly @roseapothecary @sarahlevys
Ferris wheels, Stevie had long ago decided, were terrible rides.

if you think there ain’t lightning at the end of this kite string (girl, i’d say that’s a losing bet) [alexis/twyla, T, 4,823] by @turningtimeinthetardis
Your heart’s always felt more volcanic in the summers, when festivals and late sunsets and bonfires nearly stretch days beyond twenty-four hours, and it seems like a partner could want you for more than a night.
They never do, though.
But this time—maybe this time—you’ll find something promising, because this started in April, even if it’s one-sided, but when Twy calls your name—at the cafe or on roll call—you still get excited.
It'll Be Fun [alexis & moira, G, 3,548] by @neelyo67
Alexis is doing really well at Interflix, thank you. But then she gets a call for a job she just can’t refuse. Time to get the gang back together.
it's fine if it's with you [stevie/twyla, T, 3,349] by @hullomoon
Stevie and Twyla try fake dating. It's much harder than it looks.
Rescuing Roses [patrick & johnny, G, 100] by @legalgal421
Johnny gets the call to go and pick up David and Moira.
A missing scene from Moira Rosé.

actual life update post cause I always make one of these whenever I come back!!!
- good news: I graduated college, moved states to be closer to most of my friends, and live with my boyfriend of almost two years now!!
- yeah I have a boyfriend of almost two years, can’t remember if that’s been stated on the blog or not. unfortunately Bri’s Funny Stories About Terrible Men have come to an end. fortunately, Bri’s nervous system is much happier. except…
- bad news: I’ve been diagnosed with POTS and have been chronically ill/disabled for a little over a year now. aged out of WGI and my nervous system decided to shit itself. everyone say boooooo
- I work from home cause I can’t really reliably commute/work 40 hrs a week, but I have the cutest home office that I’ll prolly post pictures of sometime
- I got tickets to Halsey’s Back to the Badlands tour. my heart rate jumped up to 160, my hands started vibrating, and I nearly passed out when I did.
- I keep trying to write a book but I haven’t made myself just sit down to do it. I mean, I have five year old unfinished fanfictions sitting around so idk why I think that’s gonna work but I’m keeping hope alive
- ain’t it just the worst when you get your life together, become financially independent, sort out your romantic life, and invest in friendships both old and new just for the whole entire world to collapse around you. I will not be speaking on this further because otherwise I will cry, but it’s been frustrating to say the least
- the whole being disabled thing still sucks though. I can’t go outside much for like four or five months out of the year and I feel like I’m hungover after I do literally anything. fuck it we ball I guess but I’m still pissed that I didn’t even get like one normal year after WGI
- basically, I had a horrid case of the flu when my body was already severely worn down, but I performed three shows the weekend I had it, and my body started throwing a fit as a result. it has continued to throw a fit ever since. stay home when you have the flu kids
- I also got VIP tickets to meet Waterparks in the winter because YOLO or something
- that’s everything noteworthy that I can think of at the moment. honestly there’s not a lot when things are stable and boring like this, which I’m not complaining about! but oh boy, is this so much different than it was a couple years ago
I went into the Katseye tag looking for gif sets or art or something and instead I found copious amounts of x reader porn and a post detailing headcanons about what it would be like to breastfeed each of the girls. are you freaks okay or
“Wish we could hit the beach, drop all of our plans, just running free!!!” ☀️🌊🏝️
this drawing was originally to celebrate zombies 4 releasing but I’m a little late to posting it <3 I am so happy this movie is finally out I thought it would be a brilliant idea to draw everyone hanging out at the beach :D it’s a zombies summer anyway!!!
