[the-whispers-of-death]

thinking about a blooper reel/general behind the scenes footage for a movie actor!kali and actor!stone starred in. maybe it was for a movie by director!reader. or maybe reader just worked on it. lets say reader's both a director and prop designer here

something something one of them breaks a prop on accident in front of a camera and its just like "oh *fuck*. noone tell reader, holy shit, whatever you do, *dont* tell reader, we can superglue this back together-" and it cuts to the superglue doing absolutely nothing and just making it worse ghfsgsdf

maybe it cuts to reader just looking at it and deflating cuz. "come ON who the hell did that >:/// why didnt noone tell me about this!!!"

maybe its not even like that bad of a thing, maybe just a fake knife broke, or maybe, worst case, its a prop they knew reader spent a shit tonna time on and is important for the film itself. like idk a giant set piece thats gonna take ages to fix and repaint

~ rusty

Actor!Stone: What do we do? What do we do?

Actor!Kali: I can fix it!

Plot twist, he in fact could not fix it. Who saw that coming? Stone did.

[the-whispers-of-death]

what if movie director!reader.. yknow how some directors have like one or two actors that appear in every single of their movies? yeah thats reader with actor!stone and actor!kali

maybe progressively the movies strayed from being those epic thrillers with guns and gore galore and turned into more aesthetic, romance-y feeling ones.

something something reader mentioning in an interview that their work genre shifted because of those 2, and how much happier hes just gotten w them, and it just happened to reflect into their works.

... something something director!reader also starring in his own movie once. idk maybe it takes place in like a gay bar or whatever, and its the 3 of them as like extras for that scene, pure heart-eyes on camera for like only 5 seconds. straight up looks like a fancam, and the scene is primed and ready for those pink and heart themed edits people make

something something theres a one-off scene of the three of them getting in a car, also in the bg, being all over each other. just small scenes like that. things you *have* to pay attention to to even notice, even on repeat viewings

maybe in the credits its listed as: kali as: [x character] and himself stone as: [x character] and himself reader as: himself

maybe the whole movie was made as an excuse to announce their relationship and undying love, but its subtle. but the fans probably figured it all out the first time they appeared on screen together

~ rusty

The fans totally figure it out before the media does. The media takes forever to figure out that you, Actor!Stone, and Actor!Kali are in a relationship. The fans love making edits of you three using the movie scenes.

Some hardcore action fans hated the movie because they sat down expecting it to be action-packed only for it to turn romantic at the end, but those fans are few. Overall, mostly everyone loved the movie.

It gets nominated for an Oscar.

maybe in the middle of recording the sleepytired podcast, actor!kali and actor!stone just stop as the door creaks over. maybe the mic just picks up the sound of headphones dropping and someone running, and then theres just stone quietly talking like "hey, hey, youre s'pposed to be in bed, why are you up?" maybe a *barely* picked up mumble of "missed you.." from reader.

i see kali narrating this to the mic as it happens, probably with an audible smile.

maybe reader joins in from the side, but only with the condition of getting some warm blankets and proper meds. maybe he's not even plugged into the mic, just laying on the couch behind the table, speaking up every so often

idk i think this is adorable. no im not sorta-kinda-maybe sick rn wdym haha.. coUgh sickfics for the win either way

~ rusty

I feel like Actor!Kali absolutely refuses to have you sit in your own spot, you're sitting on his lap so he can massage your temple if it's hurting because of your congested nose. Also he gets cuddles, so win-win.

Actor!Stone just has him take vitamins beforehand because Kali's a bitch when sick and with you sick, Stone doesn't want to take a chance of having to deal with two sick people. (He loves you two, but considering how you two are when sick.... Well, his love can only help him for so long.)

[the-whispers-of-death]

When Actor! Stone finally worked up the courage to ask his stylist to put him in a dress for the upcoming event, they scoffed and sneered. Naturally, Kali fired them on the spot and introduced Stone to Stylist! Reader, who took one look at the huge, burly figure that is Stone and said “You would fucking rock a gown,” and immediately got to work hand-making a slutty dress with a slit on each side. 🫧

I at first thought the stylist in the beginning was Stylist!Reader and I got very scared and then I read the entire ask.

Actor!Stone would rock a gown, you're so right. He goes out to the event in the slutty gown you made him with Actor!Kali on his arm looking very dapper in the suit you made him. They sing your praises in the interviews, Kali twirls Stone around so the camera can see the gown from every angle.

You did such a great job that the media sings your praises in the news the next day, gushing about how well Stone and Kali looked in your clothes. And perhaps, your clientele goes up, every other celebrity wanting you to design their clothes for their next events.

something something that couples trend where they find nailpolish to match each others eyes. but like with stone, kali and reader so each hand is a diff color...

~ rusty

Actor!Stone and Actor!Kali go out somewhere and they have matching nail polish. It actually furthers the rumor that you and Kali are in a relationship and not you and Stone because only Kali has both Stone's eye color and yours on his nails (Stone only has Kali's).

[the-whispers-of-death]

stylist!reader flirting back with kali

Actor!Kali enjoys the flirting so much, his laughter is so deep when he's with you. He starts gushing about you to Actor!Stone.

Actor!Stone gets pouty because he's not getting much attention from you.

[the-whispers-of-death]

i hear your actor!stone & actor!kali and raise to you stylist!reader (who does hair and makeup) 🎰

I don't know why but I feel like Actor!Kali flirts with you, a lot. He'll be sitting in the chair with you doing his makeup and hair and is just flirting with you. It's smooth flirting, not cringey at all. His eyes twinkle when you're around.

Actor!Stone is completely silent when you work on him, but he refuses to get another stylist. He only trusts you with his makeup and hair, refusing to sit in anyone else's chair. And if you look closely enough, you'll see him leaning into your touch.

maybe a funnier route would be a podcast episode a day or so after reader gets surgery. like idk maybe just their wisdom teeth removed, or maybe smth more major ((like top surgery cough cough)

bro's high and sleepy out of his mind, just staring off into distance for the most part or giggling at everything.

i bet multiple times stone wouldve had to be like "hey-! youre not supposed to do that- *sit down for fucks sake!*"

it probably ends up being a fail and nothing is posted other than a short audio clip of reader just talking about literally nothing with the caption just being like "sorry for no episode this week, one of us just got outta surgery. we failed at staying on topic, see you next week. or the week after that, probably"

~ rusty

I feel like the fans wouldn't even mind not gettin an episode that week, since it means that the other two are taking care of whoever is sick. You do make Actor!Stone sigh constantly, while Actor!Kali is trying hard to hold his laughter in before Stone glares at him.
