i write west side story requests. ask me about my headcannons. i dare you. dms and asks open :)

[playitcoolboy]

Hello hello!

So I have decided I will be taking west side story writing requests!

Now, I don’t have a lot of time on my hands, but if you want me to write you a one shot based on west side story, please read below! :]

The forms of requests I will be taking:

Dms!(please specify if you’d like me to post it)

Asks!(can be anonymous if you want)

Reblogs!

AND FEEL FREE TO SEND MORE THAN ONE REQUEST! Just so you know I do have a queue of requests to do, but I don’t mind doing more than one!

What I require in the request:

The ship/characters you want

And that’s it! Plot can be optional, but I can always think of one myself. Also, please clarify if you do not want something in your request(ie. angst, unsympathetic!tony, or something like that these are just what came to mind)

Please keep in mind, if you don’t give any specifics I will automatically fill in what I assume will work best. If you ask for a jet x reader and don’t give me any specifics, I’ll automatically fill in what will go well with what I had in mind. Do not get mad at me if you don’t specify what you want and something isn’t perfect.

Here is what I will not do:

Smut most likely. If you want a smut request, feel free to ask, but just know I have the right to turn down a request. I am usually not in the mood to write it, but ask if you want! For an ace person, I’ve been told my smut writing is pretty good

Anything that includes !nc3st, p3d0ph!l!a, and generally disgusting stuff. If you support those types of relationships because “they’re fictional” just never interact with me <3/srs

Overly graphic scenes. I will write intense scenes, but I will only write what I am comfortable with. I will never go into depth about intense graphic scenes unless I am feeling in the right mindset to write it.

I am the writer, I have every right to turn down a request for any reason.

Here’s what I will write!:

AUs! Literally any AU(that doesn’t go against anything in the last section). I will also write your headcanons and incorporate them into the request!

(Almost) any ship! Tony x Riff, Anita x Bernardo, and Tony x Maria are the ones I feel most comfortable with doing. I also don’t mind doing Riff x Graziella as well :]

X reader! I seriously don’t mind doing this at all. My first piece of writing was an x reader so I don’t mind putting my hat in the ring again!

(Again almost) Any Angst! I love writing angst holy shit, so I’d you have an angst prompt I am more than willing to write it if I’m in the right mindset! I will also write literally anything with fluff, so don’t be afraid to ask!

Any perspective! First person, third person, past tense, present tense, you name it! I love trying new writing styles out, so feel free to get creative

Song fics! Got a song stuck in your head you’d like to see me write about? Have a song that is just PERFECT for your favourite ship? Know a song that you want me to incorporate into a scene? Perfect! Just tell me what song it is and I’ll gladly write a song fic!

I always try to reach 1000 words with every single one of my requests/one shots, so please understand if it takes a bit of time to actually get it done :] also please refrain from asking for too many things as I need enough time to get through everyone who wants one. Thank you in advance!

And other than that, just have fun! I wanna spread some positivity to everyone through my writing abilities <3 so don’t be afraid to request something!

[playitcoolboy]

Not me literally abandoning y’all I am so sorry

[playitcoolboy]

Hi, would you be willing to share more of your head cannons? I absolutely love them and also, I am starved of Riff x Tony content and it seems like you are one of very few people that supply enjoyable stories about it. Hope you have a good day :)

Hey! Thank you for asking! I’d be more than happy share some more headcanons, and yes I do have more Tony x Riff content coming soon. School is kicking my ass at the moment haha, but in the meantime I will give you some Tony x Riff headcanons! Hope this makes your day better, and I hope you have a great day :)

Riff once played guitar to Tony, and ever since then Tony begs for Riff to play it again, but Riff rarely budges

Riff loves to embarrass Tony in front of the Jets despite the fact Tony has much more blackmail on Riff

One day Riff brought a stray dog he found home, and Tony said he didn’t want the dog in the house. The next day, the dog and Tony are best friends

Tony and Riff always slept together in the beginning days of the Jets, not in a couple way, but just as best friends

Riff hates being in love with Tony because he feels comfortable enough around Tony to actually let his walls down and that scares him

When Riff and Tony get married, Riff puts his ring on a necklace to be able to hide it better

When Riff wants to open up, both Riff and Tony go into a room and turn off the lights, both of them are blindfolded as well. Riff then opens up to Tony, and he only does this with the lights off and both of them are blindfolded. its the fact they can’t see each other that makes Riff feel comfortable to open up to Tony

Riff stays up until midnight every night to kiss Tony on the lips as his way of saying “I’m here today”

Love to slow dance at night in open fields

Tony is an overworked wine aunt and the one to always bail Riff out of jail

They get matching tattoos because they can’t get married legally

All the Jets know about Tony and Riff’s relationship(duh), and they offered to help them get married in secret

Riff loves to get Tony flowers whenever he can and he hand delivers them to Tony while he’s working

When Riff proposes, he does so with a ring his father gave him. Once Riff gets a ring of his own, he puts it in a necklace so people didn’t get suspicious that both him and Tony have a ring

Often slow dance together at night

Those are to only name a few :)) hope you enjoy!

[playitcoolboy]

hello! its been a while!

i hope yall are doing okay, as for myself I’ve been dealing with a lot of stuff and I haven’t had time to do any writing. I have a handful of requests i need to finish but i just have no time now. ill get them done eventually, but im so sorry to keep you all waiting :(

MIKE FAIST as RIFF in WEST SIDE STORY

can we talk about how ice literally grabs baby john, just to make sure he gets out of there safely ???? 🥺

[faistncoffman]

some of the jets helping to clean the mural in between shots. tony kushner spoke about mike faist doing it cause he felt bad for the damage they had done. 🥺

[faistncoffman]

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲.. 

 ━ How you can literally see the tears in Riff’s eyes, and on his cheek. The significance of this entire scene, it being the epitome of Riff truly realizing he’s lost his brother. The fact that the entire shot of ‘Cool’ was the first thing they even shot for the movie… it says a lot. Just… the talent of Mike Faist man..

[starship21zedna9]

Listen, I am great at Photoshop.

[faistncoffman]

𝗧 𝗛 𝗘   𝗗 𝗘 𝗧 𝗔 𝗜 𝗟 𝗦 

 ━ the significance of riff handing the gun to 𝙞𝙘𝙚. facing the harsh truth of accepting that tony will never be his right hand man, and he’ll never be tony’s again. showing that he can’t trust him anymore and that he now puts that trust in someone else. from early on we understand that riff see’s ice as his right hand man. but there was still hope for him that tony would come back.. here, he truly realizes that all of that hope it lost.

Shout out to my bestie @sincerealev for my new username

[you-will-be-found]

is he… you know?

[that1fanficwriter]

can I request a fluff alphabet with Riff please !!🤍

Oh my god, yes! I haven’t done an alphabet in ages! Now, without further ado:

Fluff Alphabet: Riff❤️

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

He likes that you can control the Jets and that they respect you more than they respect him.

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

He isn’t opposed to the idea of a family but he’s very worried that he wouldn’t be able to support a family or that his kids would turn out like him.

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

He always hold you as close as he can because nothing has every been permanent in his life besides the Jets. He’s afraid that you might disappear on him and he doesn’t want to lose a moment with you.

D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)

Very simple, most of the time you either just walk around or hangout at Doc’s. Sometimes you’ll go dancing or see a movie.

E = Everything (You are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world…))

You are my sky. Get it? Because he’s a Jet?

F = Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

When he saw you from across the street he thought you were gorgeous. Then, some kid came up to you and was getting too friendly for your liking so you punched him right in the jaw. He liked that you were strong and could stand your ground so he went right over and asked you out.

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Yes, he is simultaneously very gentle with you,because he doesn’t want to scare you off, and very protective, because he doesn’t want to let you go.

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

He wants to hold your hand all of the time, it doesn’t matter how or when he just always wants to know that you’re going to be there for him.

I = Impression (What was their first impression?)

He thought you were stunning and independent so he knew he had to meet you.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

Very rarely, once he feels more secure in your relationship he doesn’t worry about it but he’s always concerned someone will come along that can offer you a better life and you’ll leave him.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

He kisses with lots of passion and emotion; like it’s the last time he might ever kiss you. You initiated the first kiss. He had walked you home after your first date and you gave him a quick peck. Just as you turned to go inside he pulled you back and kissed you again but with renewed vigor.

L = Love (Who says ‘I love you’ first?)

You did. He had just taken you out dancing and you had a wonderful time. It started to lightly drizzle on your way home. He even gave you his jacket to try and stay dry so when he dropped you off at your house you thought he looked so cute with his floppy hair that you couldn’t wait any longer to tell him you loved him.

M = Memory (What’s their favourite memory together?)

His favorite memory was when you first told him you loved him. (See also L)

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

He really wishes he could but he can’t.

O = Orange (What colour reminds them of their other half?)

Blue, because the day he first saw you, you were wearing a blue dress.

P = Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

He calls you dove or his dove because you bring peace to him and wherever you go.

Q = Quaint (What is their favourite non-modern thing?)

Surprisingly enough, he really likes sitting and reading with you which doesn’t happen as much as he would like.

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

He likes to go see a bunch of movies with you and then go out to dinner.

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

He likes to just hold you and have you talk about something to distract him from what he’s feeling. Usually, you only talk for a few minutes before prompting him to talk about whatever is on his mind.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

He likes to hear you talk about anything and everything. Anything to distract him from what’s going on in his head.

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

He likes when you hold him. No one was ever very affectionate with him so when you do he just melts.

V = Vaunt (What do they like to show off? What are they proud of?)

He’s obviously very proud of the Jets but he is even more proud of how amazing and independent his girlfriend is.

W = Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?)

It was really spontaneous. You didn’t think it was supposed to rain but when the movie ended it was only sprinkling so you decided to still meet up with the Jets at Doc’s. Right before you got there it started to rain harder and harder. You both were absolutely drenched and looked ridiculous. He looked at you standing in the rain with the sun setting in the background and he knew he wanted to be with you forever. So he asked you right outside of Doc’s and of course, you said yes.

X = Xylophone (What’s their song?)

“Singin in the Rain” because that’s how he felt after you told him that you loved him. It’s eventually what spurred him to propose in the rain on the way to Doc’s.

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

He wants to but he’s always so worried that you don’t want to be with him forever that he never brings it up until that one night when he finally popped the question. (See W)

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Probably a dog. He wants that stereotypical “American dream” life that he never had growing up.

Well if this wasn’t just EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO START MY DAY 😭😭😭
