I have some longfics in the works but I’m slow as a snail and inspiration is an elusive seductress so idk when I’ll start posting them as I’m a ‘write at least half of it to get a buffer before posting’ kinda guy.

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

stoic Minyards with unreadable expressions but they’re both so pale that they get that RED blush high on their cheeks/ears 🙂‍↕️

just dead eyed stares, flat mouths, neutral voice, but their flaming cheeks give them away in any given situation. The real tricky part is determining WHY they’re blushing

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

I don’t want to say too much (because I don’t wanna disappoint if they don’t come to fruition) but I do have a few aftg longfics (and marauders but it’s lwk been a while) in the works and every time I think about them I get so excited but then I think about having to outline them and it gets scary

I have actually made progress on an Aaron centric kevaaron fic (meaning I know what I’m doing/where I’m going) (yes it’s new, yes it’s loosely based on The Great Divide album)

and also a shorter kevsethaaron fic (less progress but we’re getting there)

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

I also do really want to finish my Steddie fic Everybody At The Party Seems To Know Somebody (Who’s Not Me)

I’m so sorry to all my og Steddie followers, the last part is hopefully on the way. The s4 rewrite was just kicking my ass and then s5 dropped and I distanced myself from the fandom to recover from that mess but I want to come back.

does anyone know where to find some kevsethaaron fics?

(Already read everything on ao3, even got desperate enough to dig up my old wattpad account and there was nothing)

Aaron falling asleep against Kevin in the bus on the way home from a game and Kevin not daring to move so he doesn't accidentally wake him up

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

sometimes the general heights of fictional characters get so ingrained in my head that I forget it’s not their canonical height/they don’t have a canonical height

someone will call a character I’ve decided to be tall a short king and it completely changes my perception of the character because I’d genuinely never considered it. like I have to sit there and think about it. people think that character is short. what a world we live in

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

for some reason I’ve been seeing a lot of The Pitt content on my internet even though I’ve never watched an episode. It’s mostly been Hucklerobby (?) and honestly I’m so sorry for judging Pitt enjoyers, yall have taste

unfortunately I will not be watching it, I have been peer pressured into watching a show for queer ships only to find out 2+ seasons deep that it was mass fandom delusion. You cannot catch me this time

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

who up loving Aaron Minyard?

who up thinking about Aaron Minyard?

[lauxtheshark]

Putting their style aside, Andrew and Aaron look the same for obvious reasons. Usually no one mentiones it because why would they? It isn't until Allison makes a random comment during a conversation and says that they look the same and Kevin immediately thinks no, Aaron's way more handsome and his own thoughts hit him like a truck

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

I love when Kevin accidentally outs himself to the foxes by getting as offended as Neil when they make these comments.

like he gets so offended because obviously the twins look soo different and only an idiot wouldn’t be able to tell them apart, Aaron’s literally so much better looking for one—-and the only person agreeing with him is Neil (in a relationship with 1 of them). Uh oh.

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

I know it came out years too late but whenever there’s an Eden’s/club scene in Kevaaron fics (specifically ones where they’re not together yet/have feelings and are Avoiding Them) I always imagine they’re dancing to Artemas’ I like the way you kiss me

again, it came out years too late but I feel like ‘Kevaaron dancing at Eden’s and trying to be all discreet about their feelings but also it’s a club and they’re Drunk And Yearning’ fits that song so well

Kevaaron fake dating with real feelings and dancing at the Clurb to sell it? This song. Kevaaron bumping into each other on the dance floor and just going with it even though this is literally my best friend who I have feelings for?? This song. Kevaaron strangers meeting for the first time to this song? This song.

this is my Heated Rivalry All The Things She Said club moment, personally. I think everyone should imagine the club scenes in Kevaaron fics set to I Like The Way You Kiss Me

what if all straights were oppressed by a horrific fascist regime. what then

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

can’t wait for the day I get top surgery bc I’ve been scheming up some chest scar tattoo ideas. the future is very very bleak but if I can have this one thing it’ll all be worth it

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

getting a midnight snack is all fun and games until you step on the creaky ass floorboard in front of the fridge and wake the whole house up

will never not be thinking of Naim and Arlene’s relationship.

Whoever was working their magic on that particular piece of the script really knew what it was like to be queer and have a mom. That sounds stupid because all queer kids have moms (whether good relationship or not) but it’s the only way I can phrase it. It hits so hard because yeah, it is like that.

she gets the genre name of the music you like wrong and it’s funny because she didn’t know what it was called but also she doesn’t know you

she brings you food at the funeral of someone like you and she says she’s picked the olives off because you don’t like them and she knows you but also she doesn’t like you

she lets you sleep in her room when you have a nightmare like you did when you were 7 or 10 but also she tells you to move your stuff out in the morning because you’re 17 now and adults shouldn’t need to sleep in their mom’s room anymore

she tells you she’s scared of people hurting you and she’s doing this to keep you safe but also she tells you that you need fear to survive and it’s funny because you’ve always been afraid, and you thought maybe she would understand this time but she just needs a kid who doesn’t start fights

I don’t think I’ve seen queer media that depicts this kind of relationship accurately until Leviticus
