idea dump
this is just to help me develop random scenes and ideas so i can write actual narratives with real dialogue l8er
-i’m the worst at names so dude’s still Nameless as of rn, and in this post i’ll refer to greg’s bf as BF (for faster editing later)
-maybe BF was a beach city resident when Greg toured. (but maybe he just got to see greg on tour, somewhere) if he was, he’d just be a bg character at first, maybe you see him in the far corner during greg’s show, standing even tho there are plenty of seats. and mayhaps before RD goes to the merch table, you see BF leaving with his new Mr. Universe shirt all happy and excited.
-when Greg decided to hang in Beach City for RD, among his friend group was BF. vidalia is/was BF’s best friend and thru V is how the bois met.
- like imagine how many times Greg sought comfort through BF bc RD is legit a shitty ass manipulative asf lying ass don’t deserve shit partner and greg is so non-confrontational.
-but let’s say BF moved away some years after, and he’s that friend tht u fall out of touch with, but always wanted to reconnect w/ or just know what’s up with them in life now.
-BF is trans
-when BF is reintroduced it is decades later, they’re “Old” now, it’s present time in the show, and it starts off as BF returning to beach city. i daresay they reunite when he goes to get his vehicle/bike cleaned, and is hella surprised but happy to see greg is the only one working
-the next few “eps” revolving arnd them or w/e are about them catching up and reflecting, but also rebuilding their strong asf friendship. and it’s like undeniable to anyone who’s ever seen them interact growing up. they fall back into their old ways of having deep ass talks on the shore and playing tunes and laughing so hard it booms across the beach
-point where BF and greg are by the sea, BF is just playing smthn random with his eyes shut all very into it, and Greg is like ‘wow that’s rly beautiful’ basically, and BF is like it’s what i’m feeling. then he encourages greg to just play a little something about what he feels in tht moment and so he does. BUt... he gets so into what he’s playing, it’s clearly smthn v emotional, and half way thru it his face drops and he just stops. and us as the audience/readers knows thts him having a Sad abt rose... but then he starts up again and it’s like he’s tearing it tf UP and it goes aggressive and HARD just shredding it, and then slow and dragged out and open ended. greg opens his eyes after that and BF is just there beside him, like always, but with super sad eyes bc he’s never seen greg actually be open abt negative feelings abt his ex
-after tht bit, if it even happens 100%, greg finally, yet almost reluctantly, talks about feeling betrayed and lied to, and maybe even violated on various levels by rose. (but he emphasizes, despite that, he still loves his son, regardless of his mom being Shitty Queen Supreme.) BF consoles Greg and agrees what Rose did to him was beyond wrong, and that he can’t imagine how greg must feel havin built a life with someone who you don’t even know. greg looks off into the sea, it’s a pinkish sunset, fading, and he just sighs and expresses He himself doesn’t even know how to feel. BF assures greg it’s ok not to know, and regardless he’s glad greg finally started to share his feelings, bc you have to start somewhere (on the road to recovery)
-the pink sunset quickly fades and it’s a dark blue sky with stars lighting up everywhere, in that awesome su bg way we never fccn see anymore. greg leans on BF. the stars reflect off the waves and it’s like a universe they’re sitting across. the star outro thing focuses on the two of them sitting beside each other, and this scene could be a parallel w/a flashback of them in their younger years
-BF calls Uncle Andy tf out and runs him tf off after Andy makes a racist remark abt “interracial couples” (BF is a poc) and ppl “stealing our jobs” and we absolutely never see his ugly ass ever again in the show. and it brings more light as to why Greg’s songs idealized him wanting to get away from home. demayos r racist and homophobic and overall fucking shitty. BF takes uncle andy’s spot during the Thanksgiving episode and absolutely no one has to cater to a racist white man’s fweelings. BF already loves steven so there’s no need to endanger the kid’s life to show us he Cares, bc he lets him know as is.
-V, greg, BF, and amethyst have a reunion and absolutely take over the town for the night. they can’t do much of what they did when they were young, but they all still have a blast. V and amethyst tease Greg for getting starry eyes seeing BF play music, and reference to how he used to get the same sort of look when they were young as well. scene where after this BF shoots Greg a smile and greg’s face turns v v red -it’s been Decades but BF still has his Mr. Universe shirt, it’s more worn than Rose’s, more stained, a little torn even, bc it was his fav after all. BF sleeps w/tht shirt. classic gay -BF and Greg listening to their old records, BF bringing over his own vinyls, and them just kicking back listening to old stuff they used to love. they eventually decide to remaster their favs from Greg’s music Together
-when BF finds out Greg doesn’t actually live in the house he’s so proud he built himself, he encourages Greg to Stop living in his van, assuming he knows how much $$ greg got. greg mentions smthn about he wouldn’t want to live in a big house alone anyway, which brings BF to suggesting they be “roommates.”
-so they do. they build their house Together, it takes them time (months to a couple years) bc they’re aged, but it’s a v bonding experience for them. the house isn’t very flashy, it’s rather modest, and perfect for the two of them. they’re a lOOOT more “””friendly”””” *cough*gay at this point, no one has acknowledged their feelings or made any moves, bc they’re quite content going at their own pace
