"Wait, Alex," George struggled to get out. He covered his mouth with his hand, trying to keep every mortifying noise that wanted out. It was just a lot. "I can pull out if you want," Alex offered, trying to help, but that only panicked George.

update: galexpilled now
Vettel had the whole rulebook memorised and everyone celebrated him. George does the same thing and everyone's acting like he just spawned the bedrock wither.
5 pm thought: he's gay lol
11 pm thought: unfortunately the sad but logical reality is that he is straight and just kind of a weird freak and also a misogynist but it's still beautiful how romantic his obsession with his best friend is and how its psychosexual nature haunts all his creative work
2 am thought: he's gay and he wants to fuck men and i know this for a fact. and also a misogynist
i love sluts i love perverts i love dykes i love faggots i love aromantics i love freaks i love librarians i love ibuprofen
I wish you would write a girl alex sequel fic ššš u know what it should be about
"Absolutely not," Lando says when George walks out of the bedroom in a frilly top, an a-line blue miniskirt and grey compression shorts long enough that they stick out well past the hem. Alex, who has seen George leave the house in worse than this, keeps her mouth closed and stretches on the couch, acknowledging that it's going to be a while before they can leave for the bar.
"Why not?" George asks, offended.
"It looks stupid," Lando says.
"If I don't wear them, then I'm going to stick to the barstools," George says, crossing her arms.
"And the layer of skin is the price you pay."
"Well, that's stupid," George says. Alex reassures herself that 'looks stupid' and 'is stupid' is still a slightly more mature argument than 'you're stupid - no you.' They're adults.
"I hate you," Lando says. Alex takes it back, they're at primary school level. "I can't believe you're making me enforce the rules of girliness. We're supposed to be enforcing them together, that's also one of the rules."
"You don't have to," George says and Alex stirs. They are now in the danger zone of a George rapture on the gender prison and it's just as annoying as her previous feminist rants, with less space for Alex to push back.
"I do, I won't be seen with you like that. Go change," Lando says. George puffs up. "And put some stickers on your nipples jesus christ."
George tries to look down like she can see them. Which maybe she could, she's got quite a pair of headlights on her. Her breasts haven't grown much, per se, probably the fault of their diet, but there have been some enhanced visibilities, as it were.
"What if you wore a longer skirt," Alex decides to get involved because she's tired and ready to go, and because she's all of those things she uses her power move. "That black one you have that's just like Susie's would go well."
It seems to work because George turns around peaceably and goes back into the bedroom.
Lando throws herself down on the couch, her own patterned skirt attempting to turn into a belt. "I'm going to kill her."
Alex pats her thigh. She hadn't anticipated how much George's experiences would bump and scrape her against all of the parts of her own experience of feminity that most made her feel trapped. It's like she's been living in a box with knives and had found a couple of positions where they didn't poke her and then George would get super frustrated trying to make her eyeliner match and whining to Alex; she wants it to look good and she wants it to be easy and she wants to do it herself and that's one of those time-money-quality triangles that George doesn't seem to have the patience for. She literally stomped her foot like a toddler and Alex imagined the 5 red lights in her mind until her brain went quiet. Attachment is the root of suffering. Like Lando said, she doesn't want to be the enforcer of all these stupid rules, just because she knows them. It's not like they were easy for her to learn; everything George is trying took Alex three times as long to master. George doesn't know she isn't supposed to complain about it.
Alex changes the subject, she's tired of running that hamster wheel. "You know what's worse? George was right about me." Lando hums an agreeing noise, hears the second clause and switches to a hiss. Alex barrels on. "I am a lesbian." She's dating a woman; she's been fixated on her for years, George had her number and she didn't even know.
Lando cackles. "Actually, yes, that's incredible, I'm going to tell Max." She pulls out her phone, and she's still typing when George comes out, barely sparing her a glance at her more reasonable outfit. She only puts her phone away to bend over to clip her feet into her shoes, at which point she sees the trainers George has put on. "Absolutely not. Change. Your. Fucking. Shoes."
Alex sighs and loads the lights into her head. It's going to be a long night.
hey siri what to do when the RPFact is stranger than the RPFiction
I wish you'd write everything we have ever talked about and also every single prompt in the pussy curse fest š¤”
Okay I also thought of a real prompt for you:
I wish you'd write a fic where Alex and George have been hooking up for ages and it's definitely nothing serious but then one of them breaks up with his girlfriend (fiancƩe) and the whole house of cards comes tumbling down
ill get right on that 90k 10 year galex pussy situationship brb in 3 business years.
ok I have thought about this and here is the scenario. Alex is friends with GeorgeandCarmen, the couple unit, as well as sleeping with George sometimes; the hooking up preceded their relationship and both of them rationalise that this isn't cheating because it's actually stopping cheating. George is away so much and on the road and Carmen can't always be there and George needs sex to perform, so Alex. If George went to someone else and it got out, that would be humiliating for Carmen, which is the worst thing George could do to her. She's in the public eye, really, so George needs to make sure he doesn't make her lose any face. No one would ever suspect about Alex, so George being in Alex's room or spending time with him is fine.
Alex, for his part, is really comfortable with this because he's in his head that he'd be a terrible partner cause he'd never be around (abandonment issues from his father), and he knows he's a flake. So the regular hookup with George is comfortable, and the way he gets to spend time with the GeorgeCarmen unit makes him feel domestic. They have shows they watch together, they know how to portion out takeout when they get it, Carmen loves silk scarves so Alex always brings her back one when he goes travelling.
But then George and Carmen break up, it's reasonably amicable, one a Carmen wakes up and realises the smell of fresh hotel room makes her nauseous, and the thought of packing and repacking is too much to handle, she just can't put up with the lifestyle anymore she wants to feel a bit more settled in her life.
So now there's no more Carmen and Alex and Carmen promise to stay friends, but when are they going to see each other realistically, and of course Alex knew George first.
Theoretically, nothing has to change between Alex and George, except. Getting dinner and sharing the pieces and then watching their show and hooking up on the couch (the couch!) and then why does Alex need to leave really so he stays over. And that happens a few times, and they meet on the road but now it's more frequent than before, which Alex gets, George just had a breakup he's obviously not ready to get back out there, he has to be a good friend and support him emotionally. So he also listens to George talking through his feelings or complaining about his day because George has this hole in his life now that used to be filled by Carmen.
And then George is telling Alex about his day, and Alex is hmming along, and then George knocks his head against Alex's shoulder and is like, "Ugh, so hard," and instead of Alex putting his arm around George his hands hang awkwardly. They've got food coming, and they just hooked up and everything suddenly feels very settled in a way that Alex doesn't think he agreed to.
Alex rationalises that George just needs a girlfriend, and then he'll back off Alex, so then he starts trying to throw women at George, which takes George a bit to catch onto, eventually leading them into having a big fight where Alex yells at him that he "just slotted Alex into the girlfriend zone," and basically accuses George of not really thinking about him and just using Alex for his own feelings and maybe that George doesn't know how to be a person without a girlfriend so he'll latch onto whoever is closest and Alex isn't convenient like that.
Ugly fight and George is hurt so he goes off for a while to think and Alex has some meaningless sex but suddenly all the other dicks taste like ashes in his mouth because no matter what when he hooked up with someone he could go to George's after and they'd laugh together and mix horrible cocktails of various supplements and it's him actually that wanted to be girlfriend and now he's fucked it up and George is going to date someone else that doesn't like Alex as much and then Alex is really going to be alone. So then Alex calls Carmen and is like take him back, I miss us and she's like haha no but I can tell you he also called me kind of pathetic so get me out of your man drama and sort it out.
So they do! and alex still freaks out sometimes but it's hard to actually be avoidant and run away when they spend 250 days a year travelling to the same locations and staying in neighbouring hotels so it all works out.

George has never, ever been able to get anything out of his system. Heās not sure why he thinks Alex will be the exception.

you actually feel gaslit when you try to tell white people of a certain age that pewdiepie, with a platform so vast and catering to youth, helped reinvigorate racism and casual dehumanization towards indians because they get all āomg you canāt blame One man for thatā like yes i can actually :) we were very incrementally making our way past the gas station indian popularized by apu and indian creatives were finally being given legitimate and serious opportunities (like say what you will about aziz and mindy in hindsight but at the time that was a shift culturally) only for this dumb swedish pig to get online and spark that vile shit right back up. ask any indian with a modicum of pride in their heritage and they can tell you how uncomfortable pewdiepie made us with ourselves
