hey jsyk that zombie apocalypse asexual post is actually pretty shitty (i understand why it seems nice on the surface tho) because it kind of like... implies that non-ace gay/bi/pan/etc people deserve to get a disease and die and... that... already happened... [stares at the AIDS crisis]. the op has since deleted it and apologised for it but i just thought i'd let you know bc i'm sure you had no bad intentions rbing it, but once it gets explained it seems pretty awful
I had not considered that implication? That doesn’t seem like the right phrase. Too blame-shifty. But yeah. Upon explanation I can see how bad it is. I’ll try to track it down to remove from my blog.
mymphr replied to your post:mymphr replied to your post:so i think ive fixed...
that was a bitter sarcastic ‘thanks paint tool sai for this hell’, i’m really annoyed bc i always liked it but now i actually have the money for it i can’t get it on my mac bc pen pressure doesn’t workkkkk smh,
ahh i get you now yeah ;; to be fair im using a cracked ver til i have a job but ill probably research other options bc pressure would be pretty useful :’)
a chatfic with ain about tross flirting via uni student radio song requests
avery: imagine ross & trott communicating through uni radio
ain: it starting as a joke
ain: trott sending in a request for some ridiculous song and dedicating it to ross and ross being like jfc
ain: and then it turns into An Actual Thing and they do it all the time
avery: they both listen to the radio a lot because they’re the kind of people who need background noise to focus
ain: what if they do it to the point where like. ross is hungry and can’t be bothered to get up but he knows trott has the radio on. so he asks for a song and dedicates it to him and asks the dj to also say ‘also he wants food or something’
ain: i’m laughing oh no
ain: this is Too Real
ain: trott going to stay with smith for a couple days and texting ross like ‘still listening to uni radio via internet haha’ and ross immediately requests a really gay song
avery: they WOULD
avery: “this song is for ross, can he pick up some bread on the way home”
ain: omfg
avery: ok but. a lot of people make silly or ridic requests because it’s uni
avery: but they’re like
avery: the most consistent
avery: so the radio hosts become Aware of them
avery: & so does anyone else who listens to uni radio regularly
ain: ‘another request for ross, hi there guys-’
ain: it becomes as though they’re recurring characters
avery: imagine other people dedicating songs to both of them,
ain: omfg
avery: oh god imaging they’re not dating when it starts
avery: & suddenly radio people are trying to matchmake
ain: ‘this song is for trott AND ross!’ and its like. a song about people being gay af
ain: omfg yes
ain: they assume they’re dating and one of them sends in a request along with ‘we’re not actually dating’
ain: the hosts dedicate every song on valentines day to them and are like cmon guys
avery: “we’re not dating actually, says trott, which - why?”
ain: omggg
avery: smith hearing about this
ain: finding it utterly ridiculous
avery: trott playing the radio when he’s over
avery: & smith’s like “are u a campus celebrity”
ain: trott is just ‘[finger guns] heck yeah]’
ain: ‘you’re a gay nerd’ ‘the fuck i’m famous don’t talk to me like that’
avery: smith sending in requests dedicated to both of them
avery: ala the gay songs on valentines
ain: omg
avery: “this song is for ross & trott who need to get their shit together & makeout already” & the host is just like “agreed” & plays the song
ain: omfg yes
avery: they’re both like. lowkey crushing on each other because lbr
avery: but they have yet to actually Talk abt the romance thing
avery: because they’re terribad at communicating
ain: yes,
avery: so they have this weird status quo for ages where they’re basically dating because they’re living together & they’re domestic af
avery: but. minus kissing & romance shit
ain: mostly minus kissing
ain: except for yknow. extreme drunkness
avery: yes
avery: ofc
ain: because i still firmly believe they got drunk and kissed on multiple occasions and then refused to acknowledge it
ain: like ‘i don’t need to talk about this to him. he has probably forgotten right. yes. its fine’
avery: it is not fine
ain: they are both thinking this
avery: imagine smith bothering trott about ross like everytime they talk
ain: ‘imagine’ this is real marlow this is real
avery: & one times hes like “just kiss him!! ffs!!” & trott blushes because this is like the day after a Drunk Incident & smith just Stares at him
avery: “have u kissed??? wtf when did this happen give me all the details”
ain: trott is like [squirms and falls on the ground]
avery: “its COMPLICATED” “oh god what did u do”
ain: ‘nothing its fine everything is cool. goodbye’
avery: stands up & leaves the room
avery: smith calling after him “were u drunk? did he push u away? were u asleep? cmon trott gimme answers, how tf do u complicate kissing”
ain: ‘SHUT UP LEAVE ME ALONE’ ‘ur starting to worry me was it really bad is he a really bad kisser’
avery: ‘u should recognise that for the opportunity it is & offer to teach him’ ‘SMITH’ ‘what? it worked on u’ ‘i didn’t have a crush on u!!!’ ‘ah so u admit u have a crush on him?’ [trott buries his face in a cushion]
avery: what if trott actually seriously dedicates a romo song to ross
avery: like. mostly at smith’s nagging
ain: smith helps him choose
avery: smith texting trott suggestions
avery: a million youtube links
avery: ross glancing at trott’s phone & seeing the text convo & being like ??? & trott’s just like “nOTHING TO SEE HERE”
avery: the radio host reading out trott’s dedication tho
ain: ‘aww congrats guys’
avery: “and this is yet another song for ross, but– aww, this is sweet” & then after that song they play congratulations
ain: omg bless
ain: yes
avery: imagine trott stressing over when to send it
avery: does he want to be in the same place as ross??? would that be awkward
avery: does ross need time to Digest this development
avery: distressing at smith for so long smith’s like “if u don’t make ur mind up im just gonna send it now”
ain: trott is like ‘fine fINE OK i got this its fine’
avery: he’s at home & ross is at the library working
avery: ross said he’d be at the library for a couple more hours
avery: but then like 10 mins later after trott’s song plays ross appears at home
avery: looking very out of breath
ain: chdgdjfk
avery: small flustered ross
avery: “did that… did that mean what i think it meant????”
ain: trott ‘UM YES I GUESS IDK WHAt did yOU THInnK’
ain: small children,
avery: ross just. kissing trott
avery: “that, i thought that”
ain: Good
ain: perfect
ain: wonderful
ain: ideal
avery: trott taking a selfie of him & ross kissing & sending it to smith with a load of celebratory excited emojis & exclamation points
ain: ksiddkfk
avery: & then they live happily ever after
avery: continuing to communicate via student radio
avery: because they’re NERDS
ain: smh! smh
ain: im so distressed
avery: imagine the dedications are all the same like “hey can u get milk” but like 60% of the songs are now romantic & gay
ain: God
avery: like before it was songs they knew the other person liked or thought the other person would like or a song theyd had in their head or whatever
ain: which is pretty gay anyway, lbr
avery: or like. they call up the radio with a message but not a song in mind so then blurting out the first thing that comes to mind
avery: DARUDE - SANDSTORM
ain: fuC
avery: imagine they pick certain songs over & over until they pick up a Meaning & don’t need an accompanying message
avery: like a song that means “we’re out of milk can u get some”
ain: omg
ain: yes
avery: or a song that means “i hate essays i hate uni im sleeping in the library tonight”
ain: yesp
avery: these songs being a mix of songs they both like & memes
ain: im so done
ain: that library thing
ain: them hearing a certain song and immediately packing up a blanket and some snacks and going to the library to find the other
avery: y es
avery: they send the message as a heads up like “oh yeah i wont be home tonight jsyk i havent been murdered” but then the other turns up with Supplies
avery: “thought you might appreciate these”
ain: bless
avery: aka why everyone keeps thinking they’re dating before they’re actually dating
ain: ‘also im staying here for a bit because why not’
ain: heavy sigh
avery: “u finished this essay yesterday…?” “yeah but im here now so. yknow.”
ain: ‘trott im just gonna’ ‘wh-’ [lies down on him] ‘ross no this is not conducive to work’ ‘shhh im tired and i don’t have to work you do’
avery: ‘ur v comfy trott’ [exasperated sigh]
avery: ross falling asleep on him
ain: God
avery: trott wants to wake him up & make him go home to his BED but he knows ross wont so he just. lets him sleep
avery: a couple of their friends seeing & smirking knowingly
ain: just lies down on the desk & is like ok fine
avery: one of their friends taking a picture & putting it on facebook or something with the caption “Whipped™”
ain: they’re like NO NO WE’RE NOT- NO
avery: commenting “*****PLATONICALLY”
avery: everyone else is just like. sure. whatever u say.
ain: ‘we’re NOT DATING also this is creepy and you’re a bad friend’
avery: “trott u saw me take this picture” “i didn’t think u were gonna POST it”
ain: ‘i hate you’
avery: i keep thinking of dorky reasons theyd pick the songs they do
avery: imagine one of them complaining about this song they have stuck in their head but they cant remember what it IS or any of the words
avery: the other working it out & dedicating it
ain: this is so upsetting
ain: oh no
avery: or like “this is that song that played in that film btw”
avery: & then getting a text like “ok wtf how long did u spend on google”
chatfic with ain ft. hatsome, a v done ross hornby & trott's life being a romcom
avery: the 'im dating someone but the person i crushed on in school is suddenly here' au = hatsome tho
ain: oh my god
avery: imagine smith & trott drifting apart a bit after college & trott starting to date ross & then reconnecting with smith through facebook or something
avery: smith who in the interim evolved into a beautiful out bi
avery: & trott is just 'oh. oh no'
ain: trott revisits facebook after like a year of not talking to smith and the first thing he sees is like
ain: Alex Smith: can't believe straight people continue to be a bane on my life
ain: and he's like oh... oh god
ain: it's happened... it's happening... i need to go lie down...
avery: they were totally mutually crushing on each other in college but they both thought the other was A Straight
ain: yup
avery: bc why communicate when u can PINE
avery: ok but. trott sending smith a message like 'hey it's been a while how's things?' & smith obvs backreads trott's profile a bit because his immediate response is flirting
avery: trott's listed as single on fb because family
ain: smith is like 'oh man i had a crush on him in high school haha, that's probably ok now tho' and then half an hour into talking to him again he's like 'fuck shit no fuck oh no shit'
avery: 'how could this happen to me, ive made my mistakes'
ain: trott is experiencing this exact same emotion
ain: after like three days he goes to ross and is like 'ROSS I'M TRASH HELP'
avery: + a crisis about how this might probably be cheating
avery: yes exactly
ain: ross is like 'i had noticed you'd been acting ridiculous over the last few days'
ain: and then trott tells him and ross is like [holds head in hands] trott when will you chill
avery: trott this is not that big of a deal
ain: trott polyamory, it's fine
avery: trott flopping dramatically about like 'but im a MESS ross'
ain: 'ROSS i'm in hell, he's so much'
ain: 'ROSS HE PLAYS GUITAR'
avery: 'HE'S IN A BAND'
ain: ross busts out the ice cream and sits on the floor with trott who rolls about eating it and whining
ain: 'HE SAID WE SHOULD MEET UP SOME TIME, ROSS, ROSS'
avery: 'he has to come here, i want to meet him' 'what why no-- that is a terrible idea no. n o'
ain: 'why would you ever suggest that' 'because you're painfully gay and it's cute and i want to see it, and also because tbh he sounds hot' 'ROSS'
avery: trott thinking but not saying that if smith sees ross he'll obviously lose interest in trott because like. ross.
ain: PLACES HAND ON HEART
ain: and also being worried he will pick up on the fact that they're dating, lose interest in both of them, and stop talking to him
avery: & then when smith does visit, he flirts with ross but also trott & trott is just 'is this real life'
avery: trott trying to pretend hes single.......
ain: trott trying to pretend he's single but not actually telling ross that he's doing this
ain: so ross keeps trying to put his arm around him or something when smith's there and trott's like 'UH I'M GOING TO GET DRINKS ANYONE WANT PEPSI BRB OKAY'
avery: imagine trott having to like. edit everything he says because he talks about ross So Much
ain: oh my god child
avery: overanalysing everything because is this a bro thing to say about a friend or is it obvious hes a gay in love nerd oh no
ain: 'i was out with my bo- no i cannot write that. with. my friend. my male human heterosexual friend no homo.'
ain: im so upset
avery: SMITH ASSUMING ROSS IS STRAIGHT,
ain: FUCK
ain: smith assuming that and also knowing that trott is Aggressively queer
ain: and one day being like 'how do u live with a straight guy like? is he really good or ? i commend u'
ain: and trott's like holy shit
avery: smith backing off on flirting with ross
avery: like. mostly. because hes still smith who flirts with everyone
ain: ross, naturally, finds it fucking hilarious
avery: trott spends a lot of time lying on the floor bemoaning his existence whilst ross laughs rly rly hard
avery: 'trott ur life is a romcom!!!' 'ur not helping' 'but trott!! ur life is literally a romantic comedy!! thats fucking hilarious!!!'
ain: 'trott you're failing to see the comedic side of this. you should make a film about your actual real life for the film course'
ain: im so upst
avery: omg what if trott is actually struggling for ideas
ain: HE ENDS UP ESSENTIALLY MAKING A BIOPIC
ain: i'm laughing so much
avery: ross just keeps suggesting it & nothing else
avery: & trott has no other ideas & hes ended up writing it half on accident
avery: so hes just like FINE
avery: FUCK U I WILL DO IT
avery: I WILL NOT ENJOY IT BUT I WILL DO IT
ain: he poSTS IT ON FACEBOOK AND SMITH SEES IT
avery: GO D
avery: & he gets a rly good grade & everything
ain: every single thing that happens he's just like 'i'm further into hell'
avery: smith has no idea what to think
avery: how much of this is fiction
avery: how can he tell
ain: actually what if smith ends up being in the film
ain: just an extra but
ain: like ross was like 'hey trott needs extras in his film are you available?' and then he turns up one day and trott nearly passes out
avery: imagine trott asking round to find someone to play the smith character & ross offering to ask smith & trott just GLARING
ain: trott is like how DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT
avery: thankfully theyre saved by smith not actually being that great of an actor
avery: so ross asks him and hes like "i mean i'll be an extra if u need me but"
ain: he is only good enough to be an extra because he's one of those people that grins through all his lines
avery: "mate trust me u dont want to give me speaking lines"
ain: they don't actually need him ross is just a prick
avery: 'ross is just a prick' is one of the working titles of the film
ain: omfg
avery: other contenders are 'i hate ross hornby' 'ross hornby is a terrible human' 'an analysis of wh yi, chris trott, am going to stab ross'
ain: my god
avery: & god, like. everyone else who helps with the film or is in their class or watches it is? aware? only smith is Out Of The Loop
ain: fcuk
ain: what if smith and ross end up having a conversation where ross accidentally lets slip that he is dating trott
ain: and smith is like 'huh. i. like trott. that's a shame.' and ross is like 'oh nO NO IT'S OK'
avery: plea se
ain: and then trott eventually facebook messages smith later without knowing this convo took place and like, panickedly admits his crush
ain: and smith's like i know, i'm hot as hell, but also. so are you
ain: trott has some kind of attack
avery: ok but what if this is around valentines because
avery: smith asks if ross has plans
avery: ross is like "well trott didnt want to-- oh shit oops"
ain: oh my god
ain: 'trott doesn't really do valen- wait'
avery: & then trott is like. trying to work up to a Declaration because its been AGES, he is PATHETIC, he might as well TRY or ross will probly hack his facebook & do it for him
ain: gdo
avery: god imagine. trott & smith getting their shit together but
avery: smith assuming ross doesn't like him like that?
ain: oh god
avery: & trott not knowing what the boundaries are here so just. letting smith think that.
avery: even tho it might not be true
avery: but ross has never said anything past like ‘yeah he’s hot’
avery: which does not indicate a desire for a relationship
avery: & ross is just. ffs. do i have to do everything.
ain: because i have a severe soft spot for random kissing: ross hearing smith be like ‘ur lucky to have ross’ to trott and then walking into the room like [HEAVY SIGH] and kissing him
ain: and trott and smith are both :O
avery: ross has been working on the assumption smith was monogamous & that was why he hadnt made a move
avery: but no turns out hes just an IDIOt
ain: BASically
avery: ross kissing smith & then being like “ok new rule, we have to actually discuss things, oh my god” & then going back to kissing smith
ain: fuckin
ain: i am on fire
avery: trott saying “shouldnt we…. talk about this now…..”
hey! i'm a mod from thatautismfeel and i just wanted to say it's really cool that you've created this and i'm glad we inspired u! this blog is cool as heck and i hope all goes well ;u;
how about you start making posts about why lgbt+ people deserve rights/ are actual people, rather than posts about how poor straight people are super duper oppressed? maybe then this blog would be less of a joke. if, you know, you actually used it to try and help people get rights and safe spaces and live like human beings. of course, i am sure you think your cishet opinions are much more valid and important.
hat films for the ask meme thing because i am predictable trash. also any other yog ships u wanna
leaves their dirty clothes on the floor
smith, & to a lesser extent ross. trott despairs of them.
forgets to run the dish washer
none of them are that good at remembering, but on a scale of 'occasionally' to 'maybe once after trott shouted at him', ross is the best & smith is the worst.
pumps gas for the car
they all have their own cars? so all of them?
drives when they’re going somewhere
ross drives the most (ross enjoys driving the most), then trott, then smith. smith is mostly a last resort. smith's driving is kinda terrifying.
rearranges the furniture
sometimes smith tries to organise their home computer/console set ups so theyre not a horrifying mess of wires. that is as close as they get to rearranging furniture.
falls asleep with the TV on
ross. he just falls asleep on the sofa a lot, regardless of what he's doing.
gets to use the bathroom first
trott.
decides the temperature for the ac/heater
also trott. trott is utilities king.
sets up holiday decorations
all of them. they bicker a lot. the end result is always v garish & potentially scarring.
leaves the lights on
smith turns every light on always & never turns any of them off, trott will exist in complete darkness if left to his own devices, ross walks round after them flicking switches.
uses the bathroom with the door open
i want to say 'wtf who does this' but. smith. smith does this. wtf smith.
