Discord shenanigans giving way to my favorite description I've ever done for the moment Johnnic Got Somewhere (TM) in New Divide
general + wedding for nic and john!
General:
Rate the Ship - Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs
How long will they last? - 5ever, alternatively like... half a year in John’s dreams in the AUs where Jace exists.
How quickly did/will they fall in love? - In fic canon it’s over the course of months for John, years for Nic. In any of the AUs it was probably admittedly just a few weeks if that but they like saying months so they don’t sound too desperate.
How was their first kiss? - Fic canon: Rushed, emotionally/situationally charged mess. AUs again- cutesy, soft, lingering- a Movie First Kiss.
Wedding:
Who proposed? - John
Who is the best man/men? - In fic canon, uuhh haven’t thought about this. Sharky, Nick, or like... seven year old Cal I guess.
Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - Kim
Who did the most planning? - John
Who stressed the most? - John
How fancy was the ceremony? - In canon They technically have two, considering ones just a common law/”we should get married” agreement that leads to Whitehorse basically signing off on them being a thing, then once they get topside John makes a big-to do, as he would in AUs, so: Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.
Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - For canon: Hurk Sr, Joseph. AUs: Still Hurk Sr, maybe even Hurk Jr, Mabel
🎵 for Nic and for Rick and for Nic x John pls? 👀👀
I need you to know I read the first half of this wrong and you made me think I had to Think about songs for them as a ship or friendship so crisis averted.
Nic: just to mix it up a lil from her usual - American Sweetheart - Elle King
I think I'm pretty with these old boots on, I think it's funny when I drink too much You try and change me, you can go to Hell 'cause I don't wanna be nobody else Well, they say I'm too loud for this town so I lit a match and burned it down I'm not America's sweetheart but you love me anyway
Rick: Fuck You - Lily Allen
Fuck you, fuck you very, very much 'Cause we hate what you do And we hate your whole crew So, please don't stay in touch
Johnnic: Nemeses - Jonathan Coulton (and canon John/Deputy lbr, and that’s why I’m listing so much of the song I’M SORRY)
Being a brilliant man, going to great expense Devising a master plan doesn't make much sense Unless you find the one you're destined to destroy Now that you're here, I don't seem that crazy do I?
Sometimes it's hard to tell if you even notice me Maybe it's just as well it's better you don't see The way I'm running just to keep your back in view In your shadow waiting for the perfect moment Could it be that you need me To keep you out, to run you faster Promise me you'll let me be The one, the worst of all your enemies Say that we'll be nemeses

Tagged by @faithchel and I think @shellibisshe and one other person but I can’t see who else bc TUMBLR IS BROKEN AND I CAN’T SCROLL DOWN THE ACTIVITY FEED ONCE ITS SORTED.

(This is basically a redo from ages ago but I have twenty new peeps and Nemeses is their anthem that I just discovered two weeks ago. Anyway there are a few that didn’t make the cut so their ship playlist is here, fic playlist that has a few more plot specific ones here.)
Nemeses - Jonathan Coulton
Could it be that you need me to keep you out, to run you faster // Promise me you'll let me be the one, the worst of all your enemies // Being a brilliant man going to great expense devising a master plan doesn't make much sense unless you find the one you're destined to destroy // Now that you're here I don't seem that crazy do I? // Maybe it's just as well it's better you don't see the way I'm running just to keep your back in view
I Can’t Decide - The Scissor Sisters
Don't wanna be a bad guy // I'm just a loner baby and now you've gotten in my way // I can't decide whether you should live or die // Oh, I could throw you in the lake or feed you poisoned birthday cake I won't deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
If I Never See Your Face Again - Maroon 5
Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away // You say I'm not your type, but I can make you sway // I'd let you be if you put down your blazing gun // Now you've gone somewhere else, far away I don't know if I will find you // But you feel my breath, on your neck Can't believe I'm right behind you // Cause you keep me coming back for more // and I feel a little better than I did before And if I never see your face again, I don't mind ‘cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight
Maybe You’re Not the Worst Thing Ever - Galavant Cast
You're frigid and demanding I shudder at your call // Whenever you come near me my flesh begins to crawl // But sometimes, there are moments I'm not repelled at all // Worse than lice or plague but truth be told you're growing on me just like mold // And though you’re so annoying so easy to despise // although there’s something scary behind your cold dead eyes // and though I’ll never like you it’s nice to realize maybe you’re not the worst thing ever
Bad Things - Jace Everett
When you came in, the air went out and every shadow filled up with doubt // I don't know who you think you are but before the night is through I wanna do bad things with you
Problem - Natalia Kills
Sweat dripping down your chest thinking 'bout your tattooed knuckles on my thigh boy Cold // I'm your dream girl this is real love // But you know what they say about me, that girl is a problem // Don't you wanna claim my body like a vandal? // Don't you wanna save this Dirty little damsel?

A New Divide Moodboard
3, 4, 9, 14, 22, and 29 for johnnic? xx
3. When they are having a fight, what is it about and how do they deal with it? More often than not, John will still let his bastard side show to someone, and Nic will absolutely call him on it, which might spark something.
4. Their favorite physical feature on each other? Nic thinks John’s non-existent ass is adorable Eyes for both of them
14. Is their anything they associate with each other? Mostly locations. Post-Collapse the remains of the Yes sign, the Bunker but namely the red room, Landsdowne Airstrip...
22. 22. From the outside looking in, what is their dynamic like? Again, I feel like this is setting up a shot at a hornets nest when it comes to fandom feelings but it ain't gonna be like more than four people read this. It’s... multifaceted. Fairly problematic considering their past on opposite ends and the fact that they’ve tried to harm each other, but they worked through it so it’s extremely strong and they mesh well into one unit together.
29. What are your favorite moments that happen between them? Landsdowne and the lead up to The Reason Why It’s So Important To Them, Also just before that where they technically live a direct role reversal of the Confession and do a lot of silent communication ‘til John’s “Oh, I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to her”-like zing. I like that one moment in... idk that one ficlet where John sees Joseph for the first time since the Collapse so he lashes out and basically baits her into a fight to leave him and all she does is give him a Look and it immediately snaps him out of it and he has to hold her and asks her to stay, in We’ll Meet Again/AU, the end where they’re sitting on the bathroom floor together
1, 2, 21, and 24 for my Pack Parents or Johnnic please?
Why dont we have both
1. What drew your character to their LI and vice versa?
Pack Parents: It was mutually picking up on vibes without really knowing it. For both, the other just felt right in the sense that they felt good and honest and trustworthy.
Johnnic: In stark contrast, it was completely base level, girl/boy pretty. And sort of badass NoT tHaT i wOuLd AdMiT iT aBoUt An EnEmY.”
2. What was the first moment that they knew they were in love with their LI?
Pack Parents: Neither can really place a moment, it just kinda gradually built up and they were just sort of aware the L word was involved after a while.
Johnnic: A bit complicated, because for Nic, it was straightforward- in the Bunker, she saw him and Whitehorse talking about something the Survivors needed and how they should approach getting it done/John was finally helping other people not including her or Cal without any ulterior motive/apprehension. For John, he thought he was in love the first time he thought he lost her after everything they had been through when they got to the bunker with seconds to spare and she was in bad shape. However, that was more his heart and brain not being used to actively caring about someone that he wasn’t obligated to/trying to get something from. I made this joke before but it’s very much that bit in Galavant where Isabella has a crisis because she’s having a positive feeling about someone. Where he has the thought that he loves her and it’s genuine love - he walked into their room to see her napping with Cal and it got him right in his heart.
21. Personally, do you think they are a good couple?
Pack Parents: Best couple, but a couple of arguments a year would probably make them a more adjusted couple instead of too perfect uwu
Johnnic: Catch me straining to answer this question intelligently considering the topic of this week’s resurfaced drama lmao Again, complicated. For tropes’ sake, they’re perfect, they hit all the best ones, but in their ‘canon’ did originate with hella toxic elements, but they worked through it and didn’t start anything until way after there was an even playing field with no strained power dynamics which makes it a little better. In the Gatthew/It Was All a Dream/Most Other AUs they’re also perfect but their chaos would be INSANE.
24. Is there any moment that happens between them that you know happens and just makes you melt?
Pack Parents: They’re pretty soft and heart-melty most of the time but as far as moments that actually exist/hypothetically exist: on a rougher, less cutesy front: One of their first official moments of friendship, when she’s having the baby at the hospital and the Mutts know she’s there and come to get the baby. Jeremy arrives in her room to check on her while also trying to scope out the Mutts, and then he’s about to leave her with the Shady Doctor, and considering that she still doesn’t entirely trust Jeremy but feels that he’s a genuinely good person/has been kind to her/etc and is clearly better than the guy who’s giving her Mutt vibes, all it takes is her grabbing his hand and giving him A Look and Jeremy basically immediately attaches himself to her side because he Gets It. Also fast forward a couple of in-universe days where they’re back at Stone Haven and Alex wore herself out dealing with Baby Jamie and she’s out cold in the room so Jeremy covers her with the blanket. uwu
Johnnic: I think the only slightly heart-melty quality moment I’ve given them was that Christmas fic where it’s their first post-Collapse Christmas in the New World and Nic went out of her way to decorate the remains of the Ranch and they got a tree and everything and got to cuddle under a blanket watching Cal opening the presents they got him.
