nicky doll and gigi goode sexually confuse me

Hey guys, this is my first fanfic hope you enjoy! It’s about Gigi who had just moved from L.A to small town Missouri turns out she has a little crush on the girl across the street. But the girls heart might belong elsewhere. Might do a chapter two!

CRYSTAL

"Crystal! Come here please!" Mrs. Methyd called from the kitchen. Crystal sat up and got out of bed with a groan, and skipped her way down the stairs entering the kitchen.

"Yes mom?" Crystal said politely despite being slightly annoyed after being disrupted "We have some new neighbors that just moved in across the street! I heard they have a daughter just a year younger than you. Why don’t you go welcome her and find out if she’s going MSS (Massori Secondary-School)" "Uhm, okay" But before doing so Crystal went up the stairs looking to get changed out of her pajamas but still not really caring much about what she looked like while throwing on some sweats and a t-shirt.

Crystal slowly made her way across the road taking her time, and then making her way up the driveway passing two cars one was a fancy sports car she would’ve never been able to guess and the other was a BMW and then rang the doorbell. As she waited at the door she got a text from her friend Heidi and decided to wait to respond she then heard footsteps approach the door but she wasn’t expecting that when the door opened it would reveal a beautiful girl she began to examine the girl and caught sight of her she was tall with defined cheek bones, ice blue eyes, and golden blonde hair. Crystal was star struck and felt as though she should’ve prepared herself better instead of her grey sweats when she realized the girl’s beautiful sundress. "Uh.. my names Gigi, I just moved here" the girl stated. Then Crystal snapped back into reality "Oh, I’m Crystal! I uh live across the street" she said extending her arm out to shake the beautiful girls hand, and Gigi did the same. "I wanted to come and welcome you to the neighborhood, so welcome!" "Thank you very much" Gigi then said "Uhm.. would you like to come in?" She continued "I’d love to!" Crystal says a little too eagerly being thrilled due to how gorgeous Gigi is.

After briefly exploring Gigi’s house they run into her dad "...Hi dad" Gigi says "Hm? Oh hello Genevieve" he said politely but it felt strangely cold "Hello! I’m Crystal" Crystal began to introduce herself "Hello, I’m Mr. Goode" Crystal took a mental note of that 'Gigi Goode' they then made their was up to Gigi’s room where there are still a few boxes scattered around the room. It was a light purple that was decorated my posters and in the center a white bed complimented with black and grey bedding "Your room is very cute!" Crystal says while still scanning the room still and noticing a pride flag hanging out of a still packed box. Crystal was surprised at the sight because she pictured Gigi being a jock dating cheerleader time by her house and the way she dressed but she wasn’t complaining the only other two lesbians she know are Jackie and Jan and she’s pretty sure they’re into each other "Thank you!" Gigi said grinning. Crystal went to the box and picked up the flag as Gigi beganto look stressed "Oh sorry I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable, shouldn’t have touched your stuff" she chucked nervously "No, don’t worry" Gigi giggled "So are you going to 'MSS'?" Crystal asked "Yes, is that where you go?" "Yeah!" Crystal spoke thrilled. *bing* a noise came from Crystals back pocket, then reached to her phone.

Mom

Hey! Dinners ready!

Crystal

Okay! On my way Mom

"Hey, I gotta go. Will you be at school tomorrow?" Crystal asked the girl she found herself lusting after "Yep!" She replied "Well.. I could drive you to school if you want?" Crystal sheepishly asked "That would be great! I’ll see you tomorrow!" But before Crystal could leave Gigi grabbed her arm and a pen and wrote down her number Crystal said nothing but indicating she’d text her with a small wink.

She then went home and greet her mother and father then sat down to eat dinner with them "So was the girl nice?" Her mother asked while continuing to eat her enchiladas "Yeah she’s really nice!" Crystal then spaced out at the thought of Gigi, her mother picked up on it "Is she cute?" Her mom asked causing Crystal to blush. Crystals parents were very supportive of her being gay but they didn’t talk about it much "Uh.. I-I dont know" her mom laughed at her and then after diner Crystal went back up to her room and called Heidi "Hey! Sorry I didn’t answer your text my mom wanted me to welcome my new neighbour to Missouri" Crystal said after Heidi picked up the phone "Don’t worry about it boo" she replied "are they going to MSS?" "Yeah!" Crystal replied once again too eagerly "Ouu, is she cute?" Heidi said giggling "How’d you know they were a girl?" "You’re too excited for it to be a guy" Heidi teased "Oh shut up" Craystal said giggling then continued "She gave me her number.. should I text her?" "Obviously you idiot, but don’t forget about your flirt feud with Jaida. I think she might be into you" Heidi said quickly "Jaidas not even gay!" She said defensively "Not so sure about that girl, but seriously text this women" Heidi returned with "Okay! See you tomorrow love ya" then Crystal hung up the phone

Crystal

Gigi

Crystal

Crystal was very excited to see Gigi but she also couldn’t stop thinking about what Heidi said about Jaida.

GIGI

After a long night of thinking about the girl next door she woke up excited to go to school with her new friend. She got out of bed and got changed into a little black top, leather pants and some gold hoops. She posed in the mirror to see her perfect figure staring back at her she truly was perfect even if she didn’t know so herself, she then continued on with her daily routine and after siting on her couch waiting for Crystal to be ready. *ring* Gigi jumped up off her couch at the sound of the doorbell knowing it was the girl she met the prior night and rushing to the door. Then taking a breath and keeping herself composed to open the door and see the girl "Hey Crystal!" She said excitedly more so then she wanted to come off while noticing how beautiful Crystal looked today and how her red curly hair reflected the sun off it "Hey, you ready to go?" Crystal saying much more relaxed then Gigi had seconds before "Yup, and thank you again. I was slightly nervous about going into this knowing nobody.." Gigi confessed shyly "No worry’s!" Crystal said with a smile on her face that was worth framing a photo of. They walked up to Crystals car it was older and kinda dirty not what Gigi was used to but she figured it does the job of getting Crystal from A to B so it didn’t exactly matter.

They arrived and prepared to part ways for the day "Hey, you wanna eat lunch with my friends and I?" Asked Crystal "Really? Of course" she said as she grinned "See you later!"

* * * * * * *

The day flew by Gigi had done similar things at her old school in L.A so she wasn’t very far behind the rest of the students in her classes. She ended up having Crystal in her spanish and she then picked up on her being Latina by her tan skin and her perfect accent when forming the words and answering the questions of the teacher. Once lunch came around she asked one of her teachers the way to the lunch room and they directed her to where it was m. She felt weird going to the lunch which confused her since she’s usually very confident, but she ignored it.

"Hey Crystal!" She said walking up to her new friend at a table with one other person "Hey! This is my friend Heidi" "Hey, Heidi!" she said regaining her usuall outgoing personality "Hey Gigi, I heard a lot about you" as Jackie snickered which made Crystal blush and Gigi’s heart flutter. Then two other girls approached the table "Hey I’m Jaida! Gigi right?" One of the new girls said the sitting down next to Crystal "Hey, Baby" the Jaida girl then said to Gigi’s new neighborhood and the words made Gigi’s heart sink, but before she could here what else Jaida had to say to Crystal another girl approached Gigi "Hey, I’m Jackie! Nice to meet you" "Uh.. yeah good to meet you too, I’m Gigi" she said sweating a little after feeling so stupid about thinking Crystals wink the night prior was a signal so she kept her mouth shout throughout lunch.

The rest of they day passed by and Gigi decided to ignore Jaida calling Crystal baby, they just met anyway it’s no big deal. But she was a little let down because Crystal reminded her of her friends back home she was so endearing she just wanted to be around her all the time for some reason which wouldn’t be difficult living across the street from each other. As Gigi was about to walk home hoping to avoid Crystal because she was still a little let down but she then heard foot steps racing up behind her turning around to see Crystal "Hey! No need to walk I’ll take you home, we live across from each other anyway" Crystal hoping Gigi would wanna come with her "Oh yeah.. sure I guess" Gigi tried to sound normal

They walked to the parking lot side by side approaching Crystals car "So... do you not drive?" Crystal asked trying to prompt a conversation "Well I’m only 15, so no" she replied awkwardly "Oh yeah! I forgot you look older to be honest" Crystal replied "You’re 16 right?" Gigi forcing herself to engage in the conversation so Crystal wouldn’t think she didn’t wanna be friends "Yeah!" She said opening the car door for Gigi then going over to her own side. "Hey.. I know we don’t know each other well but you seem off are you okay?" Crystal asked puzzled due to Gigi’s quietness since lunch period "Yeah.. I’m okay"

Disclaimer: I don’t like to ship people irl because I find it weird and inappropriate. That said, Crystal and Gigi don’t seem to be bothered with people shipping them (as a matter of fact they are first ones to encourage Crygi), so in this case I don’t feel guilty about shipping them. That said, let’s get to it:

So yesterday we were watching the finale and after Gigi was done with her lip sync of Take On Me, my mom turned to face me and she said:

Mom: okay, hear me out. Maybe I’m watching the whole thing with shipping goggles, but what if Gigi is sending a message to Crystal with that song?

Me: the fuck?? What makes you think that?

Mom: each queen got to chose which song they were gonna lip sync to. Gigi is a very disciplined and meticulous person, anxious people need to be in control or something, and Gigi’s attention to detail is crucial for her to function. She didn’t pick that song just because she likes it; she is sending a message.

After that we proceeded to listen to the song and we paid extra attention to the lyrics:

We’re talking away I don’t know what I’m to say I’ll say it anyway Today’s another day to find you Shying away I’ll be coming for your love, okay?

Take on me (take on me) Take me on (take on me) I’ll be gone In a day or two

So needless to say I’m odds and ends But I’ll be stumbling away Slowly learning that life is okay Say after me It’s no better to be safe than sorry

The singer is trying to convince his romantic interest to take on him as a lover. However he is weird and shy, so it is difficult to express what he is feeling. The romantic interest isn’t sure about pursuing a relationship, the singer believes that it is worth the risk and he doesn’t want to live with the regret, but he is also preparing himself for the rejection. The song’s meaning is very obvious on itself, but if you look at it in Crygi context it makes even more sense.

If you watch the original video of Take On Me, it has two different settings: the real world and a cartoon world. In a way, Gigi and Crystal live in different realities: Gigi, a perfectionist, is very uptight and she doesn’t like to be vulnerable; Crystal, a free spirit, follows her instincts and is very authentic. Crystal’s apparent lack of control and chaotic energy can be very appealing to a person like Gigi who is very afraid of not being perfect, and who could use a change of pace.

Because of this, if you ask me it is clear Gigi is the one who feels something for Crystal, not the other way around—or at least not as strong—. After all, Gigi is the one who said “Crystal, I just wanna see you and I miss you”, “Crystal Methyd, I wish I knew how to quit you” and described her drag race experience by saying “El Debarge”. In her Whatcha Packin’ Gigi mentioned her state of mind is very 80′s; Crystal’s out-of-drag aesthetic is completely 80′s. 

Crystal’s attitude intrigues me because, at an interview, she was the one who brought out the fact that Gigi told her: “I want to be in a relationship with you, not your boyfriend.” We don’t know what Crystal answered, but if that conversation really happened then it proves Gigi is the one who is chasing after Crystal—and clearly she doesn’t mind, that’s why she keeps encouraging shippers—. If you add the meaning of the song into the mix, then it makes sense Gigi’s choice of song is meant to be a message to Crystal (also she drew Crystal’s face next to her when there was literally no reason to????)

“You’re beautiful, that’s for sure, You’ll never ever fade” is Crystal’s admiration for Gigi’s obvious talent and beauty, and their connection with each other.

“You’re lovely, but it’s not for sure, That I won’t ever change” is Crystal’s uncertainty of the situation, maybe because of the speed or intensity of these feelings or under the circumstances in which they developed (the craziness that is filming Drag Race).

Then we come to the chorus, which is kind of a heartbreaker:

“I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away, I don’t know where my soul is, I don’t know where my home is” Crystal lives close to his parents and stated on the show one reason he hasn’t left Springfield is to be with his parents, especially with his father’s declining health. He also has amazing friends in the Get Dusted crew and a great support system. But being on Drag Race, and doing well, typically means more money, fame, bookings, work, travel, and with Gigi being in L.A., does he or can he stay with what he knows while being thrust into a new world and new potentials with Gigi. The chorus perfectly encapsulates the uncertainty of the heart.

Other lyric gems include:

“And though my love is rare, Though my love is true”

Your faith in me brings me to tears… And it pains me so much to tell, That you don’t know me that well" they’ve known each other for less than a year, yet they have this amazing bond.

“It’s not that I wanna say goodbye, It’s just that every time you try, To tell me, me that you love me, Each and every single day, I know I’m gonna have to eventually, Give you away”

You’re beautiful, that’s for sure You’ll never ever fade You’re lovely, but it’s not for sure That I won’t ever change And though my love is rare Though my love is true

I agree with everything you said about the first verse. Now let’s move on to the chorus:

I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away I don’t know where my soul is (Soul is) I don’t know where my home is And baby, all I need for you to know is I’m like a bird, I’ll only fly away I don’t know where my soul is (Soul is) I don’t know where my home is And baby, all I need for you to know is

I agree with your interpretation, I’m just gonna add something else: Crystal is a free spirit, she goes with the flow of life and she does things because they make her happy, even though they might seem weird to others. Free spirits are independient by definition, and they fly with their own wings; like birds. Sometimes independient people, although comfortable with their own choices, can have feelings about not trully belonging to one place which can make them feel lost, and they find themselves longing for some stability.

Like you say, being in Drag Race and doing well brings you a world of possibilities. I have a feeling—and I’m certain most people have it—that Crystal will do great things with the platform she has been given. She is young, talented and everybody loves her, she has a brilliant career ahead of her and most of these opportunities will either be in LA or NYC. I doubt she will leave Springfield anytime soon because of the reasons you mentioned above (especially her dad’s health) but eventually she’s gonna have to make a decision. Like you say, a new world with new potentials.

Your faith in me brings me to tears  Even after all these years, years, years And it pains me so much to tell That you don’t know me that well

Gigi defended Crystal’s style and choices in at least two different occasions: first first when she said her portrayal of Poppy had been accurate despite not being funny and later when she said she had been the only participant who had actually listened to the judges’ critiques and applied them to her drag. At that stage of the competition literally no one saw Crystal as a threat, so I imagine it must have been nice for her to have someone compliment her on her work and, you know, having faith in her. 

It’s not that I wanna say goodbye It’s just that every time you try To tell me, me that you love me  Each and every single day I know I’m gonna have to eventually Give you away

This is honestly the saddest part of the song. Gigi is the one who has been more outspoken about her attraction to Crystal; however, looking at this whole thing with shipping goggles, this verse tells us that although Crystal reciprocates her feelings she doesn’t really see how a relationship between them could work right now. She doesn’t want to say it out loud but there’s just a lot of stuff in the way: their different personalities, the distance barrier, the fact that they haven’t really known each other for enough time—this is serious stuff. It is heartbreaking.
