Imagine MC is a famous actor and singer and Jack is an obsessive fan, in a parasocial relationship with MC, while MC not even knowing Jack exists. How would he try to get close to MC to form a relationship with them?
Ahh it's been so long since I've done one of these. Forgive me, my brain hyper fixated on something else *cries* and I've also been writing fanfiction.
Ugh! You're so in luck anon cause I just got really into Needy streamer overload and I literally was just thinking about Jack in a parasocial relationship yesterday.
Warnings: parasocial relationship, manipulation, gaslighting, doxxing, Jack calls MC psychotic, forced relationship, quite long
Jack was your first fan. Your first fan.
When you were small and nobody knew you, when your videos and posts only got 3 likes and were filled with spam comments, he was there.
There was just something about you, it wasn't just the fact you were talented and genuinely entertaining, you were different. Special. Had a glow to you the other performers didn't. And it pissed him off so much that no one else saw just how wonderful you are!
Though it's to be expected.
Of course only he would be able to see your excellence.
Admittedly, you also developed a bit of a relationship with S0nny_111. He became you're favorite. Your face would light up at the sight of his comments and embarrassingly so, you would begin to look for each time you posted a new skit or song cover.
"please, please," you hear yourself beg. "I posted a new video, did you not see it? Did you leave? Come ooon." Your whines echos throughout your room and you actually get a glimpse of how pathetic you sound. You shove your face in the pillow and groan. It doesn't matter, you don't care. You chuck your phone across the room. He's just another number, soon when you're famous you'll have thousands just like him. He doesn't matter. Who cares if he doesn't respond.
Ding.
You stage dive for your phone and scoop it up with flurry. "S0nny_111 says: Amazing Sunshine! Your voice is perfect for this song! I'd even say it's better than the original💙"
Better than the original.
You kick your feet in glee and roll around. You stopped when you remember what you thought a second ago. Your face now hot with embarrassment, you pick yourself up and start looking for another song to impress your favorite follower with.
Months past, and when you gain enough followers for merch Jack was the first one to buy it. He bought everything. His room now a testament to his undying love for you. And when you started doing commissions, it was finally his chance. He had to try. You allowed people to dm you song request just for 5 dollars, which Jack thought was way to low. How could you undersell yourself like that?
The text was shy and nervous, a simple "hello, I was wondering if you could sing this song?" It was "You are my Sunshine" you replied back like you would any customer, not realizing who this is. "Thank you! I'll send my cash app over now."
"No I should be thanking you Sunshine! Your voice is amazing! I've been a fan since 100 subs!💙"
Sunshine. And that heart.
"omg! Wait is this S0nny_111!?!"
"yeah! You know who I am?"
"YES!!! YOU'RE MY FAV-" you quickly delete that text. "Yah! You comment all the time I get so happy whenever I see it!" That was cool enough right? Yeah yeah.
Jack was beaming, you get happy seeing them? So...you love him? He completely understands why you haven't said anything, being so famous and beautiful, it probably bring fans down if you publicly revealed your relationship. Jack clutches the shirt of you he's wearing. This is only the beginning... he's sure of it.
When you finally, finally, gain enough attention, recognition, you do a live performance. A big stage with so many people. But Jack was sure you'd spot him, he's sure of it. He can hear his heart pumping in his ears so hard he gets a headache. This is how you make him feel, dizzy, nauseous, it's wonderful.
Your performance was perfect! The lighting, the stage design, everything. Just like you. The applause was deafening, and rightfully so.
Jack didn't have to wait in line for backstage passes since he bought his tickets online (and all the other tickets) he just had to show his receipt and get a pass. It almost broke his heart seeing your gorgeous face fall into a disappointed frown at the sight of just him. What is he not enough for you!? Are you seeing somebody else!? Who the fuck is it!?
"Oh, I was told we completely sold out on backstage tickets..."
Jack holds back a smirk and give an awkward smile instead. "Guess they had other things to do, I'm sorry Sunshine." Your eyes light up. There it is. "S0nny_111!?" Jack nods. "In the flesh. Though just call me Jack, my love." Jack pulls you into a hug and you feel just a little awkward, but choose to ignore the my love comment.
"Welp, should we get Started on the tour?"
Jack chuckles. "Come on, Sunshine it's just us. Drop the business attitude, let's just hangout." You looked a little nervous and Jack doesn't understand why. You've talked a lot over the months. Oh! He gets it. It's just hard seeing someone in person you've known for so long online right? Jack smiles. How cute, but you don't have to be nervous.
"U-uh, right this way." You lead him around the set, showing him props, introducing staff and then you show him your dressing room. "And this is where I get dressed! I do warm ups here sign autographs and sometimes I might even stream here." Jack nods, he definitely recognized the background, it just sucks he wasn't able to find the location using it, like how he did with your house, he should've guess It was in a trailer.
"It's really cool, you deserve all these good things sunshine. I mean it."
Your heart beats fast and you can't help but give a toothy grin. "Thanks," you chuckle out. "Everyone's been so nice so far, I thought when you get more famous people would get meaner but that doesn't seem to happen."
"Really? Oh I'm so glad! That means it worked!"
You tilt your head. "What worked?"
"Oh I just leaked the address of anyone who left a bad comment."
You blink and your stomach plummets to the floor. "What?" Jack nods as if what he said was normal. "I leaked the address of anyone who left a bad comment. I put some names on the black market too depending on what they said, trust me doxxing is the nicest thing I've done." Jack chuckles.
Your breath is raspy and you hyperventilate. "J-Jack! You- you can't do that!! Why would you do that!?" Jack shrugs. "Why? Because they were mean to you sunshine, I swear picking on someone who's just trying to share their talent! That's so awful."
"I filter comments! How do you even see them!?"
"The same way I see their IP address, hehe."
You feel sick. "Get out get out right now!" His face scrunches up. "I don't see the problem sunshine-"
"Stop! Stop calling me that! Just get out!" Jack begins to advance towards you and you back up to keep distance. "Sunshine, they're nothing. Forgettable. They're just numbers,"
They're just numbers.
"Sad people like that have nothing better to do then to bring other people down, I'm just getting rid of the clouds trying to cover your light."
"Stop, get away!!" Your back hits a wall.
"Are you seriously pushing me away! After all you've said and done! You're so manipulative, you were just using me, weren't you! I can't believe you would play with my feelings like that, who do you think you are!?"
"What the fuck are you talking about!? I only talk to you that one time for a commission!"
You were right. Commissions were the only time you talked to him, you left hearts and likes on his comments but other than that you never spoken to him privately. But the fact that you remember his first commission, blinds him.
"You liar! I've been here since day one! And this is how you treat your fans? You love me, I don't know whats going on in your life or maybe you had a bad childhood," You scoff at his audacity. "But you need to admit it to yourself and stop being delusional!"
"I'm delusional!?" You cackle. "I don't owe you my time! Your some blue haired freak who thinks that just because you leave some comments that I love you!? I'm not your friend! And I'm certainly not your partner!!"
Jack slams a hand near the side of your head. The shadow cast by the light behind him illuminates his eyes to a sickening degree. It's painful and scary, but at the same time beautiful like watching a sun explode. "Yes you are, and I've got the numbers to prove it" Jack holds up his phone, a drafted tweet has your real name, phone number, the place you work, and your address.
"I love you sunshine, I love you so much and I want to see you succeed. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't support your dreams. But if you're going to continue to act so crazy and psychotic...then I'm not sure if I can continue this relationship anymore...so what will it be Sunshine, we can work through your problems together, or this relationship is over."
You don't know what to do, or say. You could snatch the phone away but you're sure he's faster than you, you could report this whole thing but- but...will that even work? You second guess yourself. What can you do??? It's not like... he's...so bad? He's...nice, somewhat. Maybe, if we play along then we can figure out a plan, get evidence. It'll be fine. We'll be fine. You'll be fine.
"O-oh, yeah- I'm sorry for what I said. Please don't leave me." Jack doesn't budge. He's waiting for something. "I need you- I love you!" His eyes soften and he cuts his phone off. "That's better," he whispers, almost relieved. "I'm so glad you've come to your senses, Sunshine. I was worried for a second, but we can work through this together. You and me." Jack grasps your hand tightly, a charming smile painted on his face.
You try to return one, but In the mirror behind him you see it come south lopsided. What have you done? Was there anything you could've done to prevent this? Is it really your fault? What can you do? Who can you go to? Who would believe you?
The next day, you upload another skit.
S0nny_111 says: LMAO! 2:45 I nearly pissed myself🤣🤣 another amazing video sunshine!💙
You heart and reply.
"Thank you so much Sunny!😘 So nice to see a comment from my favorite."
Jack giggles from beside you. "Oh sunshine you really make me blush, ya know that?"
You smile, because that's all you can do. And most likely all you will do.
