Jimmy’s wet — under the arms, between his legs — and his knuckles are white, gripping the edge of the kitchen table.

“Have you figured it out yet, Tim?” Grian asks, across from him. “Time’s up.”

Jimmy swallows, gaze darting around the room.

Joel’s by the sink, Lizzie leaning nearby, talking quietly.

As though feeling his stare, she looks over, the corner of her mouth curling up.

“Lizzie?” Jimmy guesses and Grian clicks his mouth.

“Oh, that’s too bad, Tim.” He reaches into his pocket and sets a small remote on the table. “I was hoping you’d get to come.”

you're damn right I was right!!

I ship all of them! Though it's to varying degrees, ranging from "yeah they're cute together" (rendoc) to "frothing at the mouth bouncing off the walls consuming every scrap of ship content I can find like a starving man" (fwhimmy).

1. What made you ship it?

Fwhimmy - I honestly can't pinpoint it beyond it an interest that took root in e1 but didn't blossom until e2. Something about goblin Fwhip got to me and now they are Everything to me.

Scarian - My introduction to their dynamic was Grian pranking Scar with drowned at the start of hc7, and something about their interactions felt very, "I'm more interested in your attention than in just being a menace."

Rendoc - They happened to be basing together when I started watching Ren.

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

Fwhimmy - Put them in proximity and they cannot help but be obsessed with each other in some way or another. They might squabble and bicker and try to kill one another, but also they are utterly devoted.

Scarian - Grian being around makes Scar happy. I like it when Scar is happy.

Rendoc - Very chill vibes! There's a quiet sort of trust there; they don't need to be around one another all the time, but they both know they only have to ask and the other will be there.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't think so? Though, I can never tell if my opinions would count as unpopular or not, because my particular little corner of fandom is pretty chill about everything.

ooooooh boy ok. also @lascapigliata and @fairiewick asked abt this, so here we are.

tl;dr i find it amusing to watch handsome men have to reckon with the consequences of being handsome and i gave it a name.

ok so brad pitt, right. voted sexiest man alive twice. so handsome it almost loops around to being boring again. dude looks like a leading man bred in a lab. and he’s cast that way! they try to at the start of his career, at least. but years ago i read a review of....pretty sure it was burn after reading? that said he was a “character actor in a leading man’s body,” by way of explaining his weird performance. this is a dude who doesn’t WANT to be a square-jawed leading man with dreamy eyes, he wants to do weird shit. and you can tell by the kinds of roles he takes (when was the last time we saw him in something like mr. and mrs. smith?), but also by stuff like. the gross facial hair he spent years of his life sporting off-camera. dude's not trying to look his best, he's trying to look like "himself," and "himself" might be a little bit of a weirdo. or at least thats what he wants to be.

thank you so much! and it’s ok!

each ending has a piece of the code

each ending has a name

there’s something special about those names...

put those pieces in the right order, put them after the link in the first chapter, and see what happens :)
