I also really want to know DJ and Kathy’s reaction to the monologue since they know very deeply how selfish Deborah can be, to see her choose Ava, I’m so curious what their thoughts would be

their reaction would interest me as well yeah! also the reaction from these would be fun to see:

ruby

ava's mom

marty lol

kiki

marcus, josefina and damien maybe

actually, i might write sth now that i think about it...

edit: i wrote it

for the ship ask: avorah

from this ask meme.

what made you ship it? hm. okay, so i knew tumblr was shipping them when i first started watching the show last year, but i also thought that what little i saw of the show on my dash, the tumblerinas were just seeing a new iteration of the mirandy-dynamic from tdwp here. and then i watched 1.06 (yes, not the sex dream ep!) and i was just like "okay, yeah, i can see it." the sex dream was just the icing on top by that point lmao.

what are your favorite things about the ship? they are both so similar and yet different? like two sides of the same coin? i just like it when there is a genuine connection between characters that goes beyond just attraction, which i feel like media struggles a lot with to do it right. so, their unhinged thing is just so fun to watch

is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? i don't like what season 4 is doing with them and more importantly how this season is writing them :(

thank you for asking! <3

For ship ask, 2 for Shoot and 3 for Gelphie? 👀👀

from this ask meme. i'll just answer all of them for both if you don't mind because i can't sleep and have to kill the time somehow ahsfjkahf.

shoot:

what made you ship it? their on-screen chemistry from the very first shared scene is insane. so insane, it made the creators go along with it. pretty much also what made me ship them lmao. also the enemies-to-lovers vibes. chef's kiss.

what are your favorite things about the ship? how ride or die they are for each other.

is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? not sure if this is an unpopular opinion per se, but: they either should've both lived or both gone out guns blazing, side by side. what the show did is just unforgiveable, considering what shaw went through, etc.

______________________________________________________________

gelphie:

what made you ship it? a tumblr crush a decade ago made me watch and also ship these two. and here i am, years later lol.

what are your favorite things about the ship? i'm a sucker for enemies-to-lovers and these two definitely also scratch that itch, even if it's less serious and more superficial. and then ultimately how it just evolves over time.

is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? i don't think so? i mean i disagree with some people calling this ship "toxic yuri" but this should not be an unpopular opinion, i hope.

thanks for asking! <3

for the ship ask game: markhelly

from this ask meme.

what made you ship it? hard to say, i watched season 1 in a few days and then watched the season 2 eps that were released until then; i guess, season 2 made it more real to me? hm.

what are your favorite things about the ship? that they both fit together as innies AND outies. i find that very funny and i hope we get more than just the restaurant scene from season 2

is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? i disagree that mark s. x helly are the more interesting side of this ship, mark x helena have proven with the restaurant scene that this is not the case.

this was fun, thank youuu <3

thanks for sharing your talent this day with this crazy fandom because how do you do words like how do you manage to arrange them in the way you do 🥹 lovely update as always

THANK YOU <3

and i dont know, i stare at a blank doc for a bit and then i pass out and wake up to like 11k words suddenly being written there waiting for editing (derogatory).

but all joking aside, this chapter had to be split AGAIN because it got too long but hopefully HOPEFULLY i will stick to the number of five parts now... (famous last words)

thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to read my story!

109 for amberprice hashtag make me cry challenge

109. “i’d probably conquer the world for you if youasked me to.”

(from this ask meme, a little late BUT finally here: 1k for this prompt, bc i got dragged back into this pit by A Certain Someone, written with the mindset of: what is even canon and do we need it? hope i still got them right @postcitywave) 

Chloe is not having a good day. Her head is pounding,her bleeding nose makes her feel dizzy, and of course it’s raining on the oneday where her truck has not deemed it necessary to cooperate with her thismorning. Didn’t help that some assholes from Arcadia Bay’s prestigious little highsociety school decided to jump her on her way home. The Blackwell kid’s neverliked her, but things got . . . testy, when news broke that Rachel is mostdefinitely not just spending time out of pity with Chloe.

At least she’s got to punch Nathan back.

She smiles to herself and immediately regrets it.

Usually she’d not have to walk back home through therain, but because Nathan and some other short-brained minions of his decided towaste her time, she’s missed her bus ride back home. “Fucking assholes,” she grumbles,pushing the cloth she’s lifted from some first aid kit hanging in the schoolgym hallway right after getting her nose punched bloody.

Your usual Monday in Arcadia Bay, she thinks bitterly,licking her lip and tasting some more copper. Great, so her lower lip took abeating too. No way to cover up any of that. After a moment of hesitation shedecides to skip going to the Two Whalesdiner where her mom works and to walk straight home. There, she’ll ignore herhomework in favor of cleaning her face up and taking a long, well deserved nap.Maybe her mom’s jerk of a boy toy won’t be home yet. If she’s lucky.

And for the first time today the universe decides toalign with her wishes, and Mr Jerk isn’t home. She clambers up the stairs,vanishes in her bathroom and begins to inspect her face. It’ll swell and bruisebefore it gets better, but nothing seems to be broken. She just looks like a Halloweenmake-up well done, only that it’s spring. Geez, she can already feel thedisappointed and worried looks from her teachers and peers respectively. Goingto a less prestigious school means that no one really feels like it’s their duty to meddle as long as Chloe is not disruptivetowards the work flow. And how’s a swollen face going to do that, huh?

She smiles and curses right after. Then she cleans herface from any remaining dried blood, using cold water that makes her groan infirst pain, then appreciation and then she carefully uses a paper towel to dryher skin. Done.

With what seems the last energy reserves in her body,she carries herself with slow steps towards her room and falls into her bed facefirst, her backpack with homework kicked into a corner with no afterthought.She’ll do it later, she thinks, knowing damn well she won’t.

“You’re late.”

Chloe jumps up from her bed in what seems a flyingleap towards the ceiling. She sees black dots in her vision from moving so fastwhen she swirls around and looks at Rachel’s first amused and then worriedface. “Holy shit, Price, what happened to your face?”

“Someone didn’t like it,” she says, still a littlebreathless. “What are you doing in my room is the better question?”

Before Rachel says anything else she’s at Chloe’sside, making her sit down on her mattress and softly touching her bruised face.Chloe holds still, barely breathing. “I broke into your room. You should reallyclose your window.”

“I live on the second floor.”

“Yeah.”

“Meaning you had to climb to get to that window.”

“Are you stalling this conversation on purpose so Iwon’t ask you why your face looks like a dropped donut with red frosting?”

Chloe looks away. “Public school’s hell,” she says. “TheAmerican school system is failing its public schools.”

“I’m sure it is. Things were going fine for the pastmonths, though, right?”

“Do you mean to sound like my mom or. . .?”

“I think your mom’s going to do a lot more yellingonce she sees you, more than I ever would,” Rachel says and tilts her head alittle. Unbelievable that someone would use the words “aloof” to describeRachel when she seems so focused on Chloe’s wellbeing, more than Chloe’s everfocused on it herself. “Besides, I’m sure you’re going to tell me that I shouldsee the other guy, right?”

Chloe sighs. Deeply. “You’ve seen him already, huh?”

“Crying on his phone to daddy dearest, too.”

“Wimp.”

“Hm. And why was Nathan looking like a dropped donutwith red frosting that got stepped on and crying like a little baby?”

Chloe leans away from Rachel—to think more clearly,and also to lie down because she still feels a little dizzy. Maybe she shouldpop some Advil before taking that nap. And then Rachel is lying down next toher staring at her colorful ceiling. So far, it’s a mess of scribbles and onehalf-attached poster, hanging low from the ceiling and looking like it’s inimmediate danger of falling down any second now.

“He paid me a visit to say some shit, you know, aboutme, and a little about you, and then things . . .  got a little out of hand. A face-to-fistconversation, if you will.”

“I love your jokes, but please focus.”

“Fine. I guess Victoria was sick and tired of notbeing the main focus of the school year, or maybe Nathan and his merry band ofidiots are trying to score some points with her—whatever, he got what he deservedand that’s the end of it.”

“So, he was there because this was about me,” Rachel saysin a weird tone.

Chloe looks at her. “If you blame yourself for whatNathan fucking Prescott did, then I swear to—”

“But you just said it yourself. If Victoria is behind itand if Nathan did it for her, then it’s really because of me and you just gotcaught up in the middle of it.” Rachel’s face looks absurdly beautiful when she’sangry. Or sad. Which she seems to be both, right now.

“Hey, Rach, it’s not a big deal.”

“Have you seen your face?”

“I’d probably conquer the world for you if you askedme to. What’s taking a few punches compared to that, hm?” Chloe tries to makelight of the situation by using humor to deflect, but she realizes that shemeans every word she just said.

There is a moment of heavy silence between them, not longerthan a heartbeat and yet it feels like an eternity.

Rachel blinks at her with glistening eyes, shakes her headand curls up next to her, throwing her arm over Chloe’s middle. “You’re toofucking much, Chloe Price.”
