irisbest : could we PLEASE get an update
irisbest : the peace of my family is at stake
oliverqueen : so dramatic
irisbest : excuse you my dad just found out we’ve been lying to him for a month this LITERALLY is my family peace
pipes : i wouldn’t say you lied to him
pipes : he never asked if you knew eddie right

heatwave : frosty u were literally the last person i meand
transco : even mick can’t stand an upset cait
pipes : so i talked to wally
pipes : joe did take their phones, yes
pipes : and the situation is Tense™
bilance : so i take it west doesn’t know that wally knew
pipes : nope
oliverqueer : this is another bomb just waiting to go off
transco : go off i guess
lesbianda : cisco rlly
transco : it’s a reflex i’m sorry
bilance : what else did you get out of the small west
pipes : nothing about snart
transco : mick if we all say we’re sorry are you gonna talk to us
bilance : ten minutes of silence
bilance : i think that’s a no
oliverqueer : maybe he just fell asleep
babybibibi : well im glad i didnt miss anything then
babybibibi : did any of you go to eddie’s room yet
pipes : oh
oliverqueer : this group has one brain cell and it lives in cait & ronnie’s apartment
lesbianda : now i feel stupid
bilance : eddie was right last night he really isnt allowed to pass on info
bilance : i vote we just. Wait
transco : but im impatient
bilance : well you can always go check in on your best friend
lesbianda : so can i
lesbianda : WAIT. i have an IDEA
oliverqueer : the brain cell jumps
lesbianda : hartley ask wally if joe has to work today
lesbianda : also when does everyone have free time
babybibibi : cait has a tutorium until 2
transco : while hart is busy texting wally
transco : he’s got work in an hour until 6
oliverqueer : why does he have a 5h shift
babybibibi : mercury is weird af
transco : y’all do realize that hartley obviously doesn’t work full time right
oliverqueer : oh right
bilance : what was your idea linda
lesbianda : we should ALL come clean with joe
pipes : what
transco : um sorry but i quite enjoy life
babybibibi : joe west doesn’t even know i exist
oliverqueer : i’ve been threatened by enough cops to last a lifetime
oliverqueer : plus, unlike the rest of you all i have no links towards him outside of this chat so it’s not like /I/ keep anything from him
lesbianda : and this is precisely why sara is the chatmom you coward
oliverqueer : i feel like we always keep circling back to the same three topics here
oliverqueer : and they’re all hateful towards me
pipes : come to think of it eddie hasn’t talked about incest in a while
bilance : ronnie you literally had dinner with the kid of his that’s not in this chat
bilance : face it we all have ties to him that might have been caused by this group but can be viewed as independent as well
bilance : that being said don’t you dare oull off another stunt without me
transco : when do you come back again
babybibibi : wtf what’s your tie to him
bilance : my dad you doofus
babybibibi : oh right
bilance : @ cisco in a week
lesbianda : soon!
bilance : yeah :(
pipes : don’t be too enthusiastic about seeing us all again
bilance : excuse you im leaving my gf and a fucking great country behind here shut up
transco : valid
oliverqueer : eddie is still asleep in his room and he HAS been out for quite a while so we’ll let him sleep
bilance : did dig say so
oliverqueer : yep
lesbianda : lmao
pipes : yeah so i guess it’s irrelevant that joe’s got the day off except for this talk with snart and singh?
babybibibi : since we’re rescheduling that intervention for a while,,
lesbianda : good so let’s discuss what we’ll do with the club next semester
oliverqueer : are you taking over that organisation too
lesbianda : obviously
bilance : linda you fucking legend
lesbianda : :^)
transco : i’d rather wait until we’re all back online tbh
pipes : yeah
babybibibi : agreed
oliverqueer : it’s only the first week anyway so we got time
lesbianda : if this all backfires i’ll kick your asses 6 years into the future
pipes : at least iris will be president then
babybibibi : iris west 2k24
transco : we stan
bilance : see that? They’d all gladly miss your presidency linda
lesbianda : hold my flower sara
bilance : gotcha

lesbianda : where is sara even
oliverqueer : idk maybe movie night with ra’s
transco : that’s nyssa’s dad right
transco : somehow he doesn’t vibe me like the guy for movie nights
babybibibi : don’t underestimate sara’s ability to manipulate ppl
oliverqueer : im glad i didn’t have to be the one to point it out
pipes : we don’t want you to die actually
snowflake : nobody does
irisbest : except that conspiracy theory on instagram
oliverqueer : the what now
irisbest : YOU DON’T KNOW????
irisbest : oliver babe you need to check your tagged pictures for once
oliverqueer : on my official acc? I never check that lmao
detectiveprettybi : why do you check that iris
irisbest : bc oliver is famous and has hot famous friends????
irisbest : anyway
transco : grabs popcorn
transco : am i missing my subway for this? Absolutely
pipes : mendez will kill you
transco : no he won’t. Mendez is a cinnamon roll
irisbest : there’s been a post claiming that oliver won’t make it to 2020 like idk it was kind of a joke but now it’s a whole big thing and meme like ted cruz being the zodiac killer and i can’t believe y’all aren’t unaware?????? I’m disappointed in the meme experts
babybibibi : first of all, ted cruz IS the zodiac killer
transco : im sorry that i don’t stalk memes about my friends
oliverqueer : well that does leave me one and a half years at least
lesbianda : does it say anything about the exact time? Like is it gonna be a last call, december or something
pipes : linda needs to plan the obituary already
lesbianda : rip oliver jonas queen 1991 - 2019. Beloved son, brother, husband and father.
oliverqueer : oh so im getting married with a kid, too? Jesus those are gonna be exciting months
lesbianda : yeah it’s a wild time, i got it all planned
irisbest : how do we make oliver’s impending death even sadder - an essay
transco : your kid should be born shortly before you die
lesbianda : giving him a few days of happiness? The cruelest
irisbest : i love it
oliverqueer : im glad you all enjoy my death so much
oliverqueer : doesn’t beat tommy’s death fantasies though
pipes : tommy’s what now
babybibibi : hart no need for a boner
pipes : fuck you
oliverqueer : tommy once told me that if he dies he wants it to happen in the middle of may so i can never have a happy birthday ever again
transco : IF he dies
detectiveprettybi : that’s so fucked up i love it
irisbest : give tommy a meaningful death 2k18
snowflake : why are we discussing deaths
pipes : why not
transco : i’ve always wanted to fake my death
lesbianda : you wouldn’t be able to keep your mouth shut cisco lbr
babybibibi : i said this once already but: going down in a motherfucking explosion
irisbest : stabbing. I wanna go down in close combat
spACEbar : iRIS
spACEbar : im not gonna let you go down like that
pipes : personally i’ve always loved the idea of just fucking off never to be seen again
lesbianda : that’s a good one
lesbianda : i discussed that with patty once and we decided it’s a dream
pipes : wally gave me the idea actually
lesbianda : you, me and wally, let’s go
transco : truly an ot3
babybibibi : should be a comic book
snowflake : cisco did you ever leave for class
transco : [image attached]

detectiveprettybi : don’t we all want that
bilance : im not around for a while and yall decide to recycle stuff we already discussed like a year ago
transco : no last time was death deja vus that we DID have, now it’s our dream death

Chapter Text
transco : i need holidays
spACEbar : it’s literally been only three days
transco : you know what? Actually i want joe to take your phone again
babybibibi : :0
babybibibi : cruel
spACEbar : woah
spACEbar : iris is back to being my only best friend
transco : she’s more your sister shut up
captaincold : damn ramon go and get laid
snowflake : protection activated
lesbianda : lmao cait
lesbianda : did we ever settle whether you guys are okay again @ coldbar
irisbest : you’re really going with that one huh
lesbianda : y’all will too and then any other shipname will look stupid to the world
babybibibi : i doubt that anyone in the world will care
snowflake : :o
pipes : engagement revoked
lesbianda : i want an answer!
captaincold : you’re usually so good at snooping
captaincold : stop texting mick you aint subtle
lesbianda : don’t wanna be subtle
lesbianda : y’all know i’m a nosy bitch
pipes : talking to mick truly ruined you
pipes : where’s the linda who would have had my head for saying bitch
lesbianda : i’d still have your head for that mr “afab ppl grow facial hair???”
pipes : … fu
lesbianda : bar got awfully quiet
bilance : don’t say anything save some drama for when I’m back
bilance : 4 days!!!
transco : do you miss us
bilance : nah
lesbianda : rude
bilance : I don’t see most of y’all irl usually so it’s not like I’d have more interaction with you
pipes : what about the quiver
bilance : i’ve spent most of my life with the majority of people there
oliverqueer : only laurel, tommy and me but ok
bilance : see y’all being so annoying is why i dont miss ya
captaincold : mood
transco : i was just gonna say sara sounds like possessed by snart
lesbianda : i’m seeing a clear case of “i soon have to leave my gf and i already miss her”
lesbianda : it’s highly infectious if you had it before so im :((
lesbianda : its missing my gf o’clock
transco : :(((
pipes : go call her idk sounds like a plan
spACEbar : how’s everyone so savage today
bilance : did we ever tell you about that time ray befriended some dude called savage
captaincold : there was a guy. Called savage.
bilance : yeah u jealous
babybibibi : sh i wanna hear that story
bilance : it was in hell
transco : good opener
bilance : well close enough anyways, it was public transport during one of the hottest days of the year. Naturally the AC was dead and everyone was annoyed bc the train also kept standing in the middle of nowhere for an hour, you know how it is.
bilance : but our dear ray of sunshine (heh) didn’t have any of it but made the dude stuck with him play some board game (i think it was jenga??? Only ray would randomly have that in his suit case i swear)
bilance : and yeah, he’s kinda creepy and shit but his name is savage and how crazy is that
captaincold : raymond truly is a lot to take in
pipes : ray is a snake charmer
transco : give him any snake and you come out with a balloon animal
babybibibi : that’s such a bad metaphor sco what the hell
transco : i’m tired
snowflake : then sleep!!!
transco : stellar advice thank you
irisbest : lmao
lesbianda : drop your sarcastic attitude towards cait right now
snowflake : ok this is cute but you do realize that cisco and i are best friends too and i can deal with him
oliverqueer : caitlin coming through with a reality check here
lesbianda : i--
irisbest : yeah that makes sense
spACEbar : sharing being cisco’s bff with cait is an honor
transco : ah so now we’re bffs again
spACEbar : <3
transco : ok you’re forgiven
detectiveprettybi : cisco and his hufflepuff bffs
bilance : isn’t cait a ravenclaw. I feel like she is
oliverqueer : ^ yeah
babybibibi : nah she’s a hufflepuff alright
snowflake : i spent my life believing i was a ravenclaw, then pottermore came along and told me i was a hufflepuff and then i realized it makes way more sense
oliverqueer : that’s the opposite of sara’s hogwarts house story
bilance : don’t start with that
irisbest : well now we wanna know
captaincold : are you telling me lance is no slytherin
bilance : THANK YOU
bilance : at least one person knows what’s right
oliverqueer : you are a gryffindor sara jkr personally said so
bilance : jkr also thinks she’s sneaky when she calls the werewolf wolf but in latin and the snake snake but in sanskrit
pipes : jkr also thinks the word of god is actual rep
transco : jkr also thinks romione would break up
irisbest : JKR THINKS WHAT NOW
transco : YEAH DIDN’T YOU SEE THAT ARTICLE A FEW WEEKS BACK
transco : [link attached]
babybibibi : harmione shipper rights!
lesbianda : i thought we made it clear that there’s no discussions on harry potter characters or ships in this chat here
lesbianda : on the other hand, ronnie i can’t believe you’d disrespect the most iconic slowburn like that
oliverqueer : lets go back to the fact that sara won’t accept that she’s a freaking gryffindor
snowflake : yeah our own hogwarts houses are a safe topic i guess
bilance : im not a fucking gryffindor im dangerous
oliverqueer : so are gryffindors!
bilance : im vicious
oliverqueer : peter pettigrew
bilance : are you comparing me to a RAT
pipes : hey what’s wrong with rats
captaincold : i have to laugh, did oliver queen just call peter pettigrew “vicious”
lesbianda : literally what the fuck did I just say
transco : the other day I saw someone on tumblr with a pettigrew url and I just went. The fuck.
oliverqueer : okay maybe vicious is the wrong word
oliverqueer : but actually what else would you call betraying your best friend in cold blood and keeping it a secret, framing your other best friend and blowing a street up while simultaneously cutting off your finger and transforming into an animal
lesbianda : i give up
babybibibi : is Oliver Queen a Peter pettigrew apologist
oliverqueer : no im just telling facts
oliverqueer : and another thing is people forgetting peter when writing about the young marauders
transco : damn we set him off
transco : so what’s everyone else’s Hogwarts house
irisbest : well sorry Sara but
irisbest : slytherin B)
bilance : i don’t know what you mean it’s just like me!
pipes : well, same
lesbianda : yup
babybibibi : where my ravenclaws at
transco : I think we’re the only ones
transco : unless?
detectiveprettybi : Nope gryffindor
oliverqueer : ^
pipes : Snart what about u and mick
captaincold : guess we’re both slytherins
babybibibi : what bc you’re criminals?
spACEbar : ambitious, cunning, resourceful
spACEbar : fits
transco : what do you mean “guess”
transco : I want pottermore results!
captaincold : I’ve never in my life fucking seen pottermore
pipes : Snart pls we need answers
bilance : i wanna Know if someone else gets lied to
oliverqueer : Sara i get that you’re literally the definition of a slytherdor or whatever the hybrid is called
oliverqueer : but please look at the forming traits of gryffindor and then keep telling us they don’t fit
bilance : …
bilance : fuck you
bilance : least I don’t defend the dude who killed off Cedric Diggory
spACEbar : were spiraling so hard I love this
irisbest : did we know Oliver is such a potter stan
lesbianda : no but I love it
transco : what’s next, Oliver had a secret twilight phase?
oliverqueer : i Pride myself in the fact that I have never read or watched any of that
bilance : Oliver “what the hell is Twilight” Queen
bilance : Tommy “you’re so better off not knowing” Merlyn
bilance : actual conversation
spACEbar : hmmm?
heatwave : yeah he’s been typing for a while
pipes : mick! what Hogwarts House are you
captaincold : The thing with twilight is that the characters aren’t explored enough, even the three main ones who you’d think you know best. Do we get more than the Basics about Bellas life before forks? No and its fucking bullshit to hear how she’s had to baby her mum all the time and yet whenever she shows up she seems like a capable woman who has her life in check. It could have been a factor of Bella’s caring and worry about other people (as seen when she constantly cooks for Charlie or worries about the cullens breaking their vow when she could’ve actually gotten hurt in comparison) but she remains shallow in that part. That being sad Bella’s one of the most stubborn characters we have ever encountered. Actually I think Edward is the character we learn and understand most of, then comes Jacob bc the part written from his pov demonstrates a lot of his past and present, as cringey as his future is, and then Rosalie and Carlisle with their stories. The others? Tough luck. Meyer screwed us over by creating interesting characters and never exploring them deeply enough. Hell, we don’t even learn anything about Bella’s school friends and while that shows her disinterest in them as a contrast to her behaviour towards the cullens it could’ve been done better
heatwave : no fucking clue
captaincold : that being said the world she has created is very interesting, though, with the volturi and shapeshifters she created opponents that keep the story alive, as does the dedication everyone has towards one another
lesbianda : what
irisbest : holy shit
spACEbar : yep
transco : SNART IS A TWIHARD?
heatwave : yep
babybibibi : FUCK
detectiveprettybi : this is amazing
heatwave : y’all shut the fuck up
heatwave : twilight ruined vampires
bilance : im guessing they’re settling this irl now
snowflake : I am genuinely worried about their hospital bills
pipes : mood
Notes:
don't worry, you'll get your coldbar drama soon. had to give them a break lmao
also, you know how hartley's "afab ppl grow facial hair?????" was an exaggeration on my part (or so i thought)? turns out lgbt+ cis guys truly have no idea about shit, my brother was shook to learn about that recently too when looking into my face too closely lmao
Chapter 5
Summary:
are we moving forward? nobody can tell
Notes:
exciting things this weekend:
- played jenga for the first time in my life and destroyed people's lives. how did ray and savage befriend each other over this when my friends and i were close to killing each other
- i saw a production of spring awakening!!!!!! it was by students so it wasn't the greatest and i'm probably the most critical audience for that musical so I have a lot of thoughts regardless. they're here on my twitter
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

spACEbar : bc there’s nothing to know
detectiveprettybi : shit u didnt even talk yet
spACEbar : no
pipes : shit
transco : oh what??
snowflake : that’s. Not good.
lesbianda : maybe one of his punishments is that he isn’t allowed to talk to you
derectiveprettybi : sure makes sense
irisbest : absolutely and very professional
bilance : i can JUST see Singh agree to that
captaincold : not that it’s any of your business
captaincold : but I was gonna wait until the weekend
transco : why
spACEbar : well you could’ve told me that at least
captaincold : bc i figured the beginning of the Semester would be stressful enough for bar
spACEbar : lmao.
irisbest : uh-oh
spACEbar : and you didn’t think having one less bullshit to deal with would actually help with that
spACEbar : or like
spACEbar : ask ME when I’d feel okay with having that conversation
babybibibi : anyone else feel like when you visited a friend and suddenly he and his mom start fighting in front of you and you don’t know what to do
transco : i usually was that friend
pipes : i didn’t have friends
lesbianda : did they move that argument into a private chat
snowflake : i sure hope
irisbest : pray for coldbar
bilance : we truly love our gallows humor
babybibibi : hart don’t drag us down here
pipes : well sorry that my childhood wasnt so wholesome
detectiveprettybi : you are the poster child for ‘money can’t buy you happiness’ huh
pipes : at least that
lesbianda : if anything he’s the poster child for ‘it gets better’
pipes : @ dan savage hire me
babybibibi : you should have played kenny o’neal
transco : ohhhh
irisbest : hartley as an actor? I cant see it
pipes : kenny’s bf was cute ill take it
pipes : rude, iris
lesbianda : we all have our talents hartley and yours just isn’t acting
detectiveprettybi : how are your fics maybe writing is your secret talent
pipes : i don’t actually write fics
detectiveprettybi : then you should try
transco : stop bullying my boyfriend
snowflake : aw
bilance : cute
irisbest : oh bar left the house
snowflake : eye emoji
transco : eye emoji
pipes : eye emoji
babybibibi : eye emoji
lesbianda : eye emoji
detectiveprettybi : eye emoji
bilance : eye emoji
irisbest : they didnt say anything but they were still fuming i think so maybe they’e just going for a run
pipes : bar goes running?
irisbest : yeah from time to time
babybibibi : jogging is a hobby i never understood
transco : yeah humans should only run when they’re in a hurry
bilance : I would never have expected Sara to fraternize with such lazy human beings.
lesbianda : Nyssa!!!!!
irisbest : hello Nyssa
detectiveprettybi : Oliver is not here to be roasted I’m sorry
bilance : It’s cute that you think Oliver is any of my concern.
transco : I love the badass aura radiating from nyssa
babybibibi : no fucks given
pipes : how can we help you nyssa
bilance : I just wanted to make sure you are all ready to give my Beloved the welcome that she deserves.
transco : are you talking about a party?
bilance : Perhaps.
babybibibi : were great at those
heatwave : im in
pipes : m i c k
bilance : Sara will arrive at 9:54pm your time on Sunday. Be prepared.
detectiveprettybi : dig is picking her up right
bilance : Yes.
bilance : Now, I want this to be a surprise. How to I delete messages?
transco : just hold them and then a window pops up where you can delete
pipes : we all better continue our conversation as it were huh
bilance : This sounds like the logical solution, yes.
bilance : You must be the clever one.
transco : oh no
pipes : :3c i’m the clever one
irisbest : bye nyssa!
lesbianda : im love you nyssa
bilance : You are a weird bunch.
bilance : But, regardless, thank you for cooperating.
bilance : Goodbye.
babybibibi : she’s so lovely
transco : really heartwarming
transco : anyway yeah im hella lazy i only run when im outta twizzlers
detectiveprettybi : how aren’t you fat
transco : dude did you see my face? Im blessed with hella good genes
irisbest : consider: pretty fat people exist
lesbianda : oh they sure do
babybibibi : in this group we love people regardless of their body type
detectiveprettybi : im hella bi for everyone
bilance : big mood
pipes : also cisco HAS a little tummy
transco : HARTLEY
pipes : what? It’s cute
lesbianda : awwwwww

transco : i feel attacked here
babybibibi : it really is adorable
detectiveprettybi : im sure it is
transco : now im blushing
pipes : oh when he speaks you blush
irisbest : :’DDD
lesbianda : okay that was weird
heatwave : hella
transco : hey mick anything about the coldbar situation
detectiveprettybi : suave
heatwave : idk snart’s left some time ago
snowflake : how long are we supposed to wait!!!!
snowflake : i feel like this drama has been going on for like three months!!!!
pipes : i agree we get updates so rarely
babybibibi : honestly i feel like we only get them once a week
transco : and they’re really dragging this out
bilance : i think they just don’t know how to resolve it
bilance : like? At least they’re finally talking apparently
detectiveprettybi : i just wish someone were to write that conversation down
irisbest : i wish someone knew how exactly that convo goes down
lesbianda : whoever’s leading our lives here surely doesn’t have a single clue huh
pipes : nope
snowflake : you talk as if God were an overwhelmed person who’s not happy with their life and uses us as a coping mechanism but doesn’t know shit about relationships so they can’t possibly imagine how to get them out of that mess
transco : i’m not supposed to have an image of god in my mind
transco : 1st commandment
heatwave : stop the existential crisis
lesbianda : better listen to mick
snowflake : #prayforcoldbar
pipes : ^
Notes:
- all comparisons between me and God are probably gonna land me in hell, no matter if they're a joke or not, huh
- @ everyone who knows the real o'neals: yes, that was a spring awakening reference. yes, i'm gonna come back to ramona young playing someone in the arrowverse now.

babybibibi : tbh i’d have thought he just… lets her be
irisbest : oh in case hart checks the chat: bar’s finally left too
detectiveprettybi : one day they will be on time

oliverqueer : not everyone’s the same ronnie

heatwave : now get out of the fucking bathroom
lesbianda : i love that snart is the person who hides when he’s on the phone
captaincold : the last ounce of privacy
bilance : don’t act like you aint gonna shack up together as well when you get out of there
captaincold : you got me there
captaincold : but consider: separate rooms
transco : whenever i think that my apartment is a shithole i think of you two and then i feel better
heatwave : glad to be of service
snowflake : everyone who has class at 9 let’s go!!
oliverqueer : sighs
bilance : see y’all @ the wests’ house later
irisbest : yeah wally’s providing a distraction, all of you better show up at 5
captaincold : have fun losers
lesbianda : coward
Notes:
in case you didn't know, alex boniello was the second connor murphy in dear evan hansen's broadway run. had his broadway premiere in (you guessed it) deaf awakening, where he stayed alongside andy mientus aka hartley rathaway. they bully each other on twitter. it's amazing
soon i will quit with the spring awakening reference that nobody gets i promise
also! shameless self promo: check out my dick grayson & clark kent relationship study if you're interested.

oliverqueer : I’m too tired for this
pipes : that’s what defeat looks like

Notes:
oliver's step-father looking like clark's uncle is a reference to krypton (a fucking great dctv pls watch it) bc they're played by the same actor - and also who clark's uncle is is the greatest mindfuck ever that i still doubt to this day - and i still can't believe sofie doctormissy beat me to including krypton to our messes smh
as mentioned, you're gtting two more interludes for this chapter. one will come on tuesday, the other on thursday, and i'm very sure you'll enjoy the second one in particular ;) (hm, whatever could they be?)
Chapter 9

birthdays to plan!

Notes:
idek what happened here i'm not too much of an ari fan myself and i know she's problematic as hell but i guess cisco's just a simple gay

pipes : i stanned him, he had nice character development
captaincold : ah great and i thought we found an evil version of bar
lesbianda : if you only watch the first half of s3 you can definitely have that
irisbest : eye emoji
bilance : EYE EMOJI
bilance : i don’t agree with oliver easily but he DOES look like bar
oliverqueer : told you
babybibibi : shit this is so funny happy birthday to me
transco : everyone lets meet up at the quiver to watch glee
spACEbar : he doesn’t look like me??
spACEbar : his face is, like, sharper and meaner and

oliverqueer : it’s very good
oliverqueer : ‘for rich ppl’ it doesn’t even cost much
babybibibi : ok we’re joining
spACEbar : can’t wait to show y’all that aint me
captaincold : ofc it isnt
snowflake : aw
pipes : that’s what you missed on
oliverqueer : GLEE
pipes : GLEE
lesbianda : GLEE
heatwave : wtf
Notes:
here a summary of references bc i promised to do that now:
- the image that hartley shares is a screenshot of this tweet, where kevin mchale (who played artie in glee) basically comes out to public lmao
- grant gustin was in glee in case you didn't know (as were many more actors of the arrowverse but if i kept making jokes about that doublecasting there would nothing else ever be accomplished. other popular contestants: stein, felicity's ex, felicity's mum, KARA, cat grant's elder son, the fire dude from the ep where iris is the flash, the music meister, SIN) so that makes that doppelgänger thing funny
- also hartley never watching anything beyond the pilot of smash is funny (hopefully) bc his actor andy mientus has been on the show (which i haven't seen because hey, it felt too much and too little like glee for me at the same time lol)
- i have no idea if vla exists in the us but here in germany it's a popular pudding brand (and vla is literaly dutch for pudding)

- they watched the first ep of grant gustin's character sebastian (3x05 the first time) where the glee club presents a production of west side story, seb and some other guys are going to a gay bar, he gets introduced during a performance of uptown girl and it's THE BEST
- the michael jackson ep is one where two glee clubs fight over who can do mj at a competition, it reaches its peak when grant gustin's character throws a slushie with rock salt into another guy's face. back in the day we really thought he did get shot based on promo stills and our craziness alone
- my sister and her best friend are looking for a flat together atm so you can see what rathathawne's??? thawneway??? thathaway???? idiocy is coming from

irisbest : using a dreamworks meme against oliver lol
oliverqueer : the incredibles is disney wtf
detectiveprettybi : so lemme summarize hartley is a genius who got in and outta school way too early, studies like a thousand things and got a job in it, knows 6 langauges AND an instrument
transco : can you see why i hated him for so long lmao
pipes : two instruments
detectiveprettybi : TWO INSTRUMENTS?????
transco : oh right i forgot about the piano incident
pipes : literally how the fuck
transco : it wasn’t the most memorable moment where i wanted to strangle you
heatwave : kinky
lesbianda : can we please get the story
detectiveprettybi : i’m overwhelmed
spACEbar : eddie’s too impressed to move in with hart after all
pipes : looking back at it now makes it even better tbh
transco : NO IT MAKES IT WORSE
transco : I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT NOW I UDNERSTAND WHY DANTE WAS *SO* UNCOMFRTOABLE ON CHRISTMAS
bilance : PLEASE TELL US
transco : there was some event at high school idek what anymore and we had to produce a band outta thin air
transco : bc our school mriaculously didn’t have one
pipes : nobody ever cared about that before so like
transco : so basically everyone who ever knew how to play any instrument got called together
transco : and hartley, because he is an ass, didn’t just take the flute even though he was the only one there for it
transco : no he had to go for the piano
spACEbar : isn’t the piano like the most basic instrument
pipes : next to the guitar it’s the msot popular, yes
transco : don’t call me out
transco : so yeah. Plenty of people

pipes : the start of being horny
babybibibi : ™
bilance : oh god no
irisbest : DID HE
transco : OF COURSE HE DID
transco : hartley, with zero experience in flirting, using fucking bad pick up lines on my BROTHER
spACEbar : how straight exactly is dante
transco : very
pipes : the best thing about it was how pissed cisco got really
captaincold : literally how were you unaware of your crush on him
captaincold : you flirt with his brother aka a person who looks somewhat like him and pay attention to how much it pisses him off
heatwave : typical mortal enemy behaviour
babybibibi : honestly enemies, mutual pining, same thing really
lesbianda : i hate this person so much i’m gonna spend all my waking moment thinking about them
lesbianda : sounds straight
lesbianda : it’s exactly my book fhgkghgjgkg
spACEbar : yeah shouldn’t you be reading

bilance : nah oliver would
oliverqueer : you know how are you always doing this when you obviously agreed to dating me
detectiveprettybi : 1 2 3 fight!
Notes:
Linda may advocate for everyone to shut up about Harry Potter, but here I am telling you to GO READ MY HARRY POTTER FIC IT'S GAY
Chapter 16
Summary:
a look into hartley's phone
Notes:
originally i had meant to write the scene set the evening before this chapter (as in, how does hartley end up at cait & ronnie's??) as an interlude, but that just wouldn't happen. so here you see how hartley actually communicates and deals with his breakdown, all the while cheered on by ronnie <3
basically, this is mostly set throughout most of the last chapter bc hartley can multitask (ofc he can)also: hart is that type of person who saves your contact name once and never in his whole life change it
i hope the formatting doesn't fuck up too much lol
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

How are you
11:18am
??? babe
jsyk i’m here if you wanna
Talk. like actually ABOUT stuff
Ronnie (TA Wells)
April 24 2018
1:29pm
Okay to summarize
i don’t need a fucking
summary
are you sure?
bc to me it seemed like
you’re going crazy without a list
fuck off
come on you like order
yeah that explains why
I’m friends with all of you
you love us shut up
anyway here comes the list
are you serious
i literally just left your
apartment
1. Ask oliver about the
scholarship
2. Talk to Cisco ffs
3. Ask snart/mick/iris about
therapy
4. Clear things up with Eddie
about the apartment
5. We’ll get together with Wells
and ask if he can pull some
strings at Mercury and get
you promoted before you go
crazy from all the boredom
6. Get laid
7. Ask Detective West if
Mick can burn down your
parents’ company without
getting into trouble
I love the last two
“Talk to Cisco” wtf am I
gonna say
just be open with him!!!!!
“Hello yes i love you so much
i’m gonna burst but you
don’t have the same feelings
and I feel like one day
that will kill me”
“also how is the only time
you say it back while i eat you
out behind a restaurant”
okay maybe not those
exact words
except if that’s the only
way you get the sentiment across
then those exact words yeah
lmao
i literally told him i don’t care
about that
god he’ll hate me for lying
dude
it’s fine!!! It’s a human
reaction about feelings it
makes sense
feelings don’t make sense
okay there spock
thanks
honestly. For coming to
get me.
thank mick, he’s the
one who called me
aw, he cares
he does
  
  
  
  
OLIVER QUEEN????
April 24 2018
3:41pm
so
how do I apply for this
scholarship
wait I thought your
tuition is covered
turns out it isn’t
????
my parents OFFICIALLY
disowned me and
withdrew the payment
what? When?
Friday
holy fuck
why didn’t you say
anything sooner
didn’t wanna ruin the moods
that would’ve definitely been
worth it
is that why you hid @
the braincells’
Not only
it was… an accumulation
of issues
:(
before you start
I do NOT want you to
pay my tuition
I want to earn it so tell
me how I apply for the
scholarship and don’t pull
any bias on me
hartley you’re literally the
reason this scholarship
EXISTS
ofc you’ll get it
if our friendship affects it
in any way I’ll poison you
without a trace
😧
we’ll go over it when
you’re home
  
  
Snart
April 24 2018
3:42pm
tell mick I said thanks
i dont have his number so
for what exactly
he’ll know
I don’t like secrets right
under my nose pipes so spill
i got drunk the other
night, he told ronnie to
get me
lmao did you get
wasted over a fight
with pretty bi???
more than that actually
it’s. A lot
and i was wondering, bc
cisco mentioned it to you
ages ago but i acted like it
was an outrageous idea but…
you are familiar with a
number of psychiatrists in
central aren’t you
is this what i think it is
are you agreeing to
look into therapy
i might need it
I guess? Everyone
seems to think so
yeah the docs will
decide that for you
like, if you get a
diagnosis, shit like that.
I feel like i should go
to iris with that tbh
would seem logical
then again she isn’t a
shrink yet
and you HAVE the
Personal experience
as do mick, bar
and your boyfriend
cisco’s only there for
trans reasons bc legal stuff
wants him to
true
look i feel awful bc
y’all have actual reasons
at least meanwhile i’m just
a whiny ex rich kid
I thought you were a
homeless poor deaf gay man
🙄
look you don’t need
trauma to have mental
health probs, sometimes
your brain’s shit without
reason and that’s how life
is so let me produce a list
for you
i was informed that lists
seem to be good for me
see
thanks
any time, kid
  
  
Hot Wannabe Cop
April 24 2018
3:46pm
ok look
my family cut me off
which means I’m nothing
but my income from Mercury
atm and that’s shit.
I’ll try to get a promotion
but I can’t guarantee anything
bc I don’t even have a single
degree yet and also I’m not
even completely an adult
yet so things are crazy
okay
and policemen don’t earn
that much either so we’re
trying to find a 3-room
apartment with so little money
according to you and I think
that’s impossible really so
that’s why i didn’t even consider
you’d want an extra room
we need to work with
each other here eddie
which means maybe you’ll have
to agree to one room less
i’ll even forget about my bathtub
you wanted a bathtub????
d e s p e r a t e l y
fuck you’re right
fucking hell i got so used
to not paying for shit i forgot
how expensive central is
it’s the industry
you know what’d be cool?
open kitchen
like in the quiver
exactly
🙄 why don’t you
jsut stay in the quiver
privacy
are YOU talking about privacy
sue me
let’s fake a lawsuit so we
get money for our apartment
sure I’ll break your leg
i don’t have insurance
any more you ass
ok break my leg
I’ll let joe do that
fucking low blow hart
when are you home?
i’ve got work
so like 6 but then
i gotta talk to ollie
yeha maybe we can
actually apartment hunt
together tonight?
look at us being functional
human beings
speaking of
yes I do really play two
instruments
fuckighell
take your time
  
  
Cisquito
April 24 2018
8:08pm
i’m better
thanks for asking
I could tell by you being
active in the groupchat
what was wrong?
um
mental breakdown so
to say
fuck
can I help???
it’s mostly things out of
your reach so not really
but i’m getting ahold of them
I think?
what are the things?
a whole lot
👀
for one, i’m looking into
therapy
YOU ARE
FINALLY
i swear things’ll look a lot
better then
yeah snart’s sending me recs
NICE
and eddie and me are
dealing with the apartment
hunt business
SWEET
also my parents withdrew
my tuition but i’m dealing
with that too
wait what
what
when the fuckk
um
friday
hartley rathaway if you tell
me you kept this information
from me bc it was my
birthday i’ll
you’ll what?
I don’t know! Do something!
you could tell me you love
me for being a thoughtful
boyfriend who didn’t want
to ruin your birthday
hart,
no i get it. Like i said
and i feel like this
should be done irl ofc
but i’m too weak to keep
my brain working when i
see your fucking face so
that was kinda……...
sweet???
let me finish
of course
i know that you just got
out of a relationship and
that you spent the majority
of your life hating me so of
course you don’t just fall in
love with me
and i know we kinda
turned that into a joke bc
that’s how we deal with
everything but it isn’t
because sometimes you
give me those vibes that maybe
it’s as serious for you as it is
for me and in the next moment
it’s a meme that you DON’T
love me and yet you’re learning
a whole new language for me
and don’t mind hanging out almost
24/7 and still you onyl told me
ONCE that you love me and
when? During sex
now i’m finished
that’s… a lot
and valid
i see you typing
no it’s my turn shut up
wow
I can’t believe you make me
do this via text you asshole
i’ve been thinking and
reflecting about this a lot
actually and
yeah you’re exactly right i
couldn’t just randomly fall
for you but i did and
that was scary and i
DEFINITELY didn’t mean to
blurt it out during sex
and i didn’t plan to say it
via text
but
i do love you, hartley. I
love you more than i
should be able to considering
our past
but i do
8:36pm
ARE YOU IGNORING ME
NOW
YOU ASSHOLE
STOP CALLING ME
I’M CRYING
NOW I’M DEFINITELY
CALLING

transco : i love my boyfriend
babybibibi : FINALLY
bilance : awwwww
spACEbar : hell yES
irisbest : the best news
captaincold : your ex having the most passionate reaction is poetic cinema
babybibibi : i’ve suffered the most under their unnecessary drama and mutual pining and whatnot
babybibibi : so thank FUCK they did it now
oliverqueer : in this chat we’re fine with ex partners
bilance : are we
heatwave : did the small one blurt it out during sex
transco : Who says I cant be fucking romantic
captaincold : you literally only realized you liked him when he popped a boner while you sat on him
captaincold : ramon please
transco : oh fuck off
heatwave : bingpot
irisbest : with Mick i hate that we cant tell whether that b99 reference was on purpose or not
pipes : glad we’re proceeding with the usual stuff
oliverqueer : speaking of
oliverqueer : Black Panther today?
irisbest : is Linda through with her book
transco : TODAY BLACK PANTHER TOMORROW INFINITY WAR

spACEbar : OKAY
pipes : we can always watch rent afterwards
spACEbar : hell yeah
babybibibi : isnt rent the sad one
irisbest : thyre all sad ones
irisbest : if there’s one thing i have learnt from bar it’s that all musicals are sad
spACEbar : shrug emoji
captaincold : hey bicon finished with crying
babybibibi : why would i have cried
lesbianda : hartmon
lesbianda : just like i cry about bi girls like IN MY BOOK
snowflake : we all did
bilance : Caitlin ur too wholesome
oliverqueer : on a scale from 1 to 10 how satissfying is it to see your fiance’s ex in safe hands
lesbianda : oh ym god ollie
irisbest : oliver.
snowflake : i am very happy to see cisco and hartley in a happy relationship!
snowflake : if you are implying that there has ever been an ounce of jealousy between the two of us in regard of ronnie, though, then you are greatly misinformed. We’ve all been content in our relationships as long as it worked out, nothing toxic at all.
captaincold : i would say you just got roasted but that was snow
detectiveprettybi : aw no puns today?
captaincold : no bc that’s probs not how she meant it at all
pipes : very likely
bilance : oliver we all know you have a problematic history with feelings for multiple people
oliverqueer : i don’t
oliverqueer : yeah
babybibibi : polyamorous relationships are founded on communication and trust
babybibibi : and, of course, agreement of all parties on that arrangement
transco : and this was today’s episode of ‘ronnie explains polyamoury’! Tune in next sunday for more
irisbest : it’s…. Not even sunday
transco : it sure feels like a sunday
transco : now y’all let’s get our asses to the quiver
lesbianda : idk man i feel like we talked less rn than usually
spACEbar : we can talk irl imagine that
captaincold : here i thought y’all would livetweet the movie
transco : nah some people just don’t know what they’d be talking about
transco : they’re missing the context
irisbest : it’s a black kingdom that’s enough context we stan black power
lesbianda : iconic
pipes : oh snart aren’t you joining us
captaincold : i’ve already seen that movie
transco : oh no
transco : you’re someone who only watches things once?
spACEbar : tragic right
irisbest : but… how
captaincold : it’s boring
snowflake : it’s not! You can discover so many new things!
detectiveprettybi : yeah like in fight club with the moments where the other dude appears on screen for a milisecond
transco : do you reread books snart
captaincold : certain ones
bilance : oh so twilight
lesbianda : he definitely read twilight more than twice
heatwave : yup
oliverqueer : rewatching IS boring
irisbest : oh no not you too
transco : it’s not so much about the content but more about the feeling of coming home
transco : how do you live without rewatching the first episode of your favourite show every time you’re sad, how you remember how young and naive the characters were
transco : WAIT. DON’T YOU GUYS HAVE FAVOURITE MOVIES
spACEbar : sometimes it IS about the content
spACEbar : so many new details you missed at first
irisbest : rewatching stuff is like coming home after a long day and sinking into the arms of your loved one
captaincold : you are a sad single west
irisbest : am not
babybibibi : a teensy bit
irisbest : you’ll die
transco : yes okay can we hurry up with that and WATCH THE MOVIE
oliverqueer : pls i liked the king in winter soldier
spACEbar : hmmmmm winter soldier
bilance : winter soldier: bisexuality the movie
transco : T R U E
transco : though you fucking idiots t’challa appeared in civil war
irisbest : nobody fucking liked civil war cisco
spACEbar : truth
lesbianda : i once heard someone say civil war is their fave mcu movie and i died
transco : better civil war than age of ultron
lesbianda : i died so much
spACEbar : i want to watch whatever alternate version of it they saw
transco : mood
oliverqueer : y’all have an hour to get your asses here with adequate snacks
transco : oliver KING
captaincold : youre rich why do they need to bring the snacks
oliverqueer : dont wanna leave the house
babybibibi : valid
irisbest : lazy babe
detectiveprettybi : stop hitting on oliver he is a happily taken man
captaincold : sad single as i said
spACEbar : let her be!
pipes : leave britney alone
transco : :’)
bilance : are you crying bc he used a meme
transco : i love him
heatwave : fuckin idiots
Notes:
- today 4 u tomorrow 4 me refers to a song in the musical RENT, which is a supergreat and supersad one. jesse l martin, aka our own detective joe west, plays a main role and i love his character so much
- polyamory is valid
- i have never seen black panther
- whenever i'm entering a depressive episode, i rewatch the flash pilot and do, indeed, look at cisco ramon and mourn the energetic sunshine with a love for all things supernatural. you small guy don't know what's gonna happen to ya and i love you
- while writing this i was like 'oh yeah t'challa back in winter soldier' and then i realized that was NOT winter soldier but i repressed all memories of civil war except the Bike Scene(TM) and civil war WAS msotly about bucky aka the winter soldier so fuck me if you're gonna call me out
- my sister's best friend thinks age of ultron is the best movie of the mcu and i wanna see whatever version of it he saw. this, too, is a movie i have repressed. can you see why i don't watch mcu movies anymore like holy shit you guys okay don't talk to me about marvel you know how it's gonna end
Chapter 18
Summary:
they watched infinity war
Notes:
okay, so this chapter includes spoilers for infinity war but, like, if *I* can write this chapter even though i haven't watched the movie bc i don't care for it in anyway, then i'm sure y'all marvel stans won't be surprised by them will you
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter 19
Summary:
there's planning, among other things
Notes:
i... i don't even know what this is. in my defense, i wrote this when i was sleep-deprived after reading through 100 pages on some philosophic politics that required my fixing the grammar...... sighs

babybibibi : you’re both slow readers how did sharing ever work
snowflake : patience my dear
lesbianda : i never read the sequels lol
transco : WHAT
transco : BUT MY DOPPELGÄNGER
captaincold : is it as much your doppelgänger as that glee dude is bar’s
snowflake : well i mean, leo is mexican. And has fire powers
heatwave : awesome
snowflake : but he tinkers a lot and keeps making popculture references and generally bad jokes
captaincold : huh sounds like the small one alright
transco : heh :1)
snowflake : linda you should read heroes of olymp, it really gets better with the diversity

lesbianda : finally somebody who appreciates me
oliverqueer : hey! I appreciate you a lot!
irisbest : so do i!
lesbianda : great then the two of you can help me put them up
spACEbar : somehow i feel like the “if you’re late, you’re straight” on there is aimed at me
lesbianda : it might be
spACEbar : rude
detectiveprettybi : how does your always being late and your anxiety even work together
detectiveprettybi : i always thought punctuality is an anxious trait
spACEbar : everyone is different,,,,,,,
irisbest : and bar gets distracted easily, they’ve been like that since forever
spACEbar : somehow i really feel offended
irisbest : i’m speaking of LOVE here
lesbianda : same, honestly
lesbianda : so now, if somebody could help me. I want posters in every faculty and if i do it myself i might never finish
heatwave : take red they’re fast
spACEbar : i was gonna offer my help anyway

captaincold : soon the detective will be the only one connecting pretty bi with any of us
oliverqueer : i still don’t really see what MY connection to detective west is
babybibibi : ^
transco : we’re all in this together
snowflake : [gif attached]
lesbianda : yes thanks for that song stuck in my head now y’all go to the uni
lesbianda : and bring me a coffee
oliverqueer : linda for how long have you been working on that
lesbianda : what do you think
snowflake : lindaaaaaaa
irisbest : eddie instead of dragging hart out of the quiver you should move in with linda
irisbest : keep her in check
captaincold : you really think pretty bi could keep ANYONE in check
lesbianda : nobody has power over me
oliverqueer : okay we’re gonna keep linda isolated and watched until wednesday
pipes : sleepover
spACEbar : a good idea
captaincold : [image attached]
transco : woah did mick buy coffee for the whole group
captaincold : nope they’re all for linda apparently
lesbianda : mick is THE BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD
irisbest : wow thanks for that
lesbianda : well i don’t see you bringing coffee
irisbest : [image attached]
irisbest : yeah not any more
irisbest : [image attached]

heatwave : valid
babybibibi : aw mick likes cait

snowflake : please
irisbest : reasonable
spACEbar : yeah,
lesbianda : NO!
lesbianda : MY POSTERS!
detectiveprettybi : linda, please. Shut up.
babybibibi : we literally can’t work like functional human beings huh
heatwave : thank fuck not
heatwave : gotta have fun
Notes:
linda thinks harry potter is overrated but she still has every plot detail and date ingrained into her brain, what an icon
rick riordan put out a new book last week (the one after the burning maze (which is the one mentioned here)) (i can't believe they'll still have to suffer through that one. god rip @ cisco & cait i guess) and while i can't read it until christmas, that doesn't stop me from promoting my fav author right here!!!! please read literally any of rick riordan's stuff but specially the kane chronicles because they don't get anough love
you know what else came out last week? the last installment of the backstagers by our very own andy mientus! i read it right away and if you want a wholesome queer musical-related story with magic then I got something for you
Chapter 21
Summary:
we got a few visitors and also there's some bruce content
Notes:
i love the beginning of this chapter because it's also ONE DAY MOOOOOOOREEEEE until the arrowverse is back. and also i go back to uni tomorrow but that's trivial
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

transco : [gif attached]
pipes : [gif attached]
irisbest : great now i don#t even know what song to have stuck in my brain
spACEbar : i mean. Annie is incredibly awesome but les mis is a classic
transco : OOOOOOOOOONE MORE DAAAAAAAAY BEFORE THE STOOOOOOOOOOOORM
transco : that was me agreeing
bilance : we kinda figured as much
detectiveprettybi : yeah.
irisbest : you can still tag along eddie
detectiveprettybi : i’m literally stuck in a car wih your father during that meeting
babybibibi : oh are you gonna talk about it
pipes : eddie be like “shall i join my brothers there”
transco : are you implying that eddie is marius
spACEbar : hartley you literally ARE marius
spACEbar : you went from rich kid to living in poverty
captaincold : and you know a shit ton of languages
heatwave : “living in poverty”
heatwave : he’s literally living with billionaires
pipes : SNART DID YOU READ THE BRICK
captaincold : perhaps
pipes : is it okay that i feel very attracted to you again
transco : lol that ever stopped
spACEbar : we’re all used to that
lesbianda : ot4
oliverqueer : just a few rules for tomorrow bc we don’t want to freak out the newbies already
pipes : why rules
babybibibi : yeah you make it sound like we’re weird
bilance : …
lesbianda : …
irisbest : …
heatwave : y’all are freaks
transco : thanks mick
heatwave : yo
oliverqueer : can i talk or do i need to make laurel write a contract
detectiveprettybi : oh pleaSE
transco : i heard about those an i’m genuinely curious
pipes : oh no please don’t
irisbest : let us talk to the legend
bilance : pfff laurel’s no legend
oliverqueer : fine laurel it is
lesbianda : oh are her and tommy actually back to being a thing now? Did we ever talk about that
oliverqueer : give me ten minutes
detectiveprettybi : yeah they’re disgusting
pipes : all heart eyes
bilance : they’re ALWAYS like that when they get back together
irisbest : what are they like after a break up
bilance : exaggeratedly polite and stiff
bilance : they don’t even hate each other! They’re just weird!
babybibibi : lmao we were more human
transco : definitely
oliverqueer : By the power invested in me by Oliver Jonas Queen, I, Dinah Laurel Lance, am hereby distributing the rules for the next meet-up of Central City College’s LGBT+ club. Addressees of those are all the members of this chat save for Edward Theodore Thawne.
detectiveprettybi : hey why
lesbianda : you’re no student any more
irisbest : you’re not there tomorrow????
detectiveprettybi : makes sense
oliverqueer : 1. No making-outs while the regular meeting is still active.
pipes : lame
oliverqueer : 2. No more than two people should be on Michael Lincoln Rory’s lap at a time.
oliverqueer : 3. Any discussions of kinks, death wishes/dreams/deja vu’s and crimes are to be avoided.
oliverqueer : 4. That includes any jokes concerning incest, too.
oliverqueer : 5. No threatening each other’s lives or body parts.
oliverqueer : 6. No alcohol, drugs or other similar substances to be around. Coffee excluded.
oliverqueer : The rules are established to not freak out any potential new members of the group who are in search of support. This is a safe space for minorities and should not seem too tightly knitted already, so best to limit the amount of inside jokes, too. Be friendly and open.
oliverqueer : That was about Oliver’s rules, but can I just say: You guys are a fucking weird troupe.
bilance : lmao don’t act like youre surprised sis
captaincold : pretty bi’s not even there and queen’s scared of his comments lmao
irisbest : why aren’t we allowed on mick’s lap >:(
transco : ^
transco : i thought that request was for linda and me but okay
detectiveprettybi : Mick won’t be there either!!!!
pipes : i love that coffee is explicitly stated
spACEbar : i’m a fan of these rules
babybibibi : course u are
transco : hey laurel how’s tommy in bed
oliverqueer : Why ask me when you have Oliver around?
detectiveprettybi : OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
pipes : SHOTS FIRED
bilance : im lauGHING
spACEbar : omg
babybibibi : if it weren’t for felicity there’d be another ot3 in town
captaincold : they weren’t called power trio for nothing
transco : anyone else keep forgetting snart likes gossip as much as the next person
heatwave : it was good for checking out rich ppl
babybibibi : did you ever even pull a stunt before west busted your asses
bilance : how did you get that mouth on you
lesbianda : honestly i’m shook did xe ever speak to them like that
transco : 99% chance xe’s high
detectiveprettybi : ronnie smokes weed??????
babybibibi : it’s for medical reasons
heatwave : sure
captaincold : i will not say anything about crimes that might have been committed
detectiveprettybi : thank you
captaincold : that being said robbers who take money out of the register are dumb as shit
captaincold : money only means its value but when you steal shit you can talk people into buying it for more
heatwave : oh no you got him started
transco : welcome to snart’s ted talk
pipes : he has a lot of those recently
snowflake : yeah it’s weird
lesbianda : wow cait called you weird

oliverqueer : ok so now you know
oliverqueer : he said it’s okay to tell you but guys, quiet to everyone else ok

oliverqueer : obviously?
transco : yeah that was more an ironic summary
heatwave : watch if anyone shows up
lesbianda : excuse you my posters are EVERYWHERE
lesbianda : i expect at least one little queer,,,,
captaincold : plot twist there aren’t anymore at this uni
snowflake : statistically that statement’s unlikely

detectiveprettybi : y’all gotta count all the people hartley and mick have fucked
transco : [a great big world voice] eeeeeeveeeeeryooooone is gaaaaaaaaaaay
lesbianda : that’s the spirit!
Notes:
-this is the gif Cisco used and this is Hartley's
- i wrote the "hartley has parallels to marius" joke before i remembered that andy mientus did, in fact, play marius pontmercy on broadway
- on an unrelated note, i do have a meerkat plush that i called marius pontmeerkat. i thought you guys would appreciate that. (also, i have a meerkat pencilcase that's called sebbo in reference to sebastian smythe. i don't do things without fandoms, as you can tell)
- did any of you read red, white, royal blue and also get some oliver/laurel/tommy vibes from alex/nora/june? (like. Slightly. We ain’t shipping actual incest here bc we aren’t that fucked up)
- yep, bruce did that.
- you're getting his instagram post in an interlude on thursday!!!! watch out for that!
- this entire fucking series is named after a great big world's song "everyone is gay". and finally i use it in a chapter
Chapter 22
Summary:
the first meet-up of the semester happened

oliverqueer : to us? Uh yeah it is
snowflake : oh have you guys heard there are zombies in seattle

detectiveprettybi : can we go back to the question
snowflake : yeah!
snowflake : well not literal zombies but they do share some characteristics, it’s a whole epidemic

pipes : exactly the same
detectiveprettybi : did Snart do the „ever sucked a dick“ convo

irisbest : wally knows her too
irisbest : GODDAMMIT LINDA
lesbianda : :*
detectiveprettybi : ???????? for real?????
detectiveprettybi : central city i swear to god
transco : yeah it’s wild
pipes : thank god we decided against adding them to the chat
oliverqueer : we already lose sight of the 11 people in here
babybibibi : i heard there are chats out there with more than 100 members
lesbianda : HOW
detectiveprettybi : so when’s the next party at the quiver
transco : eddie wants to see whom he can fuck
detectiveprettybi : shrug emoji
pipes : predictable
detectiveprettybi : as if you wouldnt think the same if you were single
captaincold : i see you guys living together will be wonderful
bilance : don’t encourage them
detectiveprettybi : and are the people nice?
irisbest : linda adopted a kid
babybibibi : iconic behaviour. The legend jumped out
detectiveprettybi : wait what
lesbianda : the poor girl needs some guidance!!!
oliverqueer : and i thought we’re still hung up on bruce’s guardianship
snowflake : oh we are
spACEbar : i think ralph’s older than you linda
lesbianda : idc i still adopt her
lesbianda : him? How do you refer to someone who’s current gender you don’t know but who explicitly doesn’t use they pronouns
transco : better ask next time
lesbianda : yeah duh
irisbest : oh yeah because by the way @ eddie @ mick we are now meeting biweekly
heatwave : twice a week?
captaincold : no every 2 weeks
heatwave : good
detectiveprettybi : oh good it’s bi
babybibibi : BD
detectiveprettybi : how come tho
bilance : ava
captaincold : wow you could hear the grumble in that
bilance : we were perfectly fine without her stupid organization and annoyance
heatwave : uh oh someone pissd off the actual captain
oliverqueer : idk if i should feel offended or if snart should
captaincold : nah you
detectiveprettybi : sounds like it was a wild meeting
spACEbar : it was actually pretty tame
pipes : for our standards
transco : yeah you didn’t miss much
pipes : except snart’s vest, really
detectiveprettybi : well thank fuck i got a pic of that then
captaincold : cherish it, it’s the only one you’ll get
snowflake : hey oliver?
oliverqueer : yeah
snowflake : did you say we’re 11 people in here
snowflake : we’re 12
oliverqueer : …………..
oliverqueer : case in point
transco : OH MY GOD WHOM DID YOU FORGET
oliverqueer : nope not doing this
Notes:
- zombies in seattle???? sounds like it's from a comic book/tv show, tbh.
- in case you don't know, in the new52 flash run, snart's costume is a vest and boy have i ever been more gay? i think not. anyway, picture this version here looking like wentworth miller and wearing a thin white sweater underneath.
- oliver's miscounting of the members of the chat is based on my own. whenever I try to count them I forget someone (and that someone changes every time. no favourism here)
- so yeah. no new chat members but new club members!!!! (there'll also be a few more to come, but I won't say who they are heh) the ones so far are as follows:
Ava Sharpe, 26, lesbian, she/her. I'm not quite sure what to let her study? I was thinking either history or somethig with politics, tbh. Suggestions?
Ray Terril, 25, gay, he/him. Light Design!
Zari Tomaz, 22, ace lesbian, she/her. Islamic Studies.
Julian Albert, 23, questioning nb, he/him or they/them. Forensic Studies. (yes, there's gonna be a Harry Potter reference)
Ralph Dibny, 23, genderfluid, he/him and she/her. Criminology.

babybibibi : what are we doing for oliver’s birthday
bilance : we’re having a party duh
bilance : at VERDANT
oliverqueer : but not on the actual day bc it’s a wednesday

oliverqueer : are you kidding it’s the besT THING
oliverqueer : i’ll see y’all and then it’s dinner date with felicity so a perf day

lesbianda : as long as she isn’t present, that is, when she is you’ll either see or she’ll tell ya
transco : sweet
oliverqueer : look at you making connections
babybibibi : linda is the king of connections
bilance : pardon me i brought my own new member
pipes : did you know her first or did wally
irisbest : pretty sure it’s been wally, they went to high school together
transco : ooooooohhhhhh
snowflake : that makes so much sense
bilance : yeah
bilance : but that was the past
bilance : we livin in the future now baby
babybibibi : bar isn’t here we can talk about time travel!!!! LET’S GO
pipes : you know, they weren’t so wrong about it being the solution to infinity war
pipes : it would only make sense, given the established timeline and the fact that marvel cannot possibly kill most of its characters
oliverqueer : yeah
heatwave : shut up with that bullshit already oh man
heatwave : where’d y’all wanna travel if time travel
transco : mick asking the real questions
transco : definitely the future. 23rd century. I wanan see star trek
bilance : i’d prove just how queer the past was
bilance : fuck those historians
heatwave : been there done that
snowflake : proved how queer historical figures were?
heatwave : no fucked a historian
oliverqueer : ah nate
heatwave : ofc
lesbianda : i’d go to 2020 and check if oliver’s still alive
oliverqueer : awwwww
irisbest : i’d go to 2020 and check if linda became president
heatwave : no need to check that
lesbianda : <3333
pipes : i’d want to go back to ancient rome or greece and see if demigods were real
captaincold : did they make you read pjo
pipes : bold of you to assume that i didn’t read them before
pipes : no but for real, our culture is coined by those two so immensely, it would be wonderful to see it for real
irisbest : don’t forget the many wars
transco : the homosexualité though
pipes : imagine living at the same time as achilles and patroclus
lesbianda : that book hurt me don’t
babybibibi : what, the illiad?
lesbianda : FUCKING SONG OF ACHILLES
babybibibi : that makes more sense
pipes : the iliad, too, though
transco : i am amazed you didn’t lear ancient greek just to read it
captaincold : don’t give him ideas
oliverqueer : i don’t even know where i’d go? I don’t think i’d want to change the past, really, bc it made me who I am but i don’t wanna see the future really either
transco : oliver wow that was the lamest answer possible
heatwave : i’d go to the after apocalypse
snowflake : post-apocalypse?
heatwave : that
heatwave : fire i imagine
pipes : you’d have a field day in pompeii though
heatwave : fuck yeah
heatwave : just anywhere firey
babybibibi : so snart’s going to the ice age, got it
captaincold : basically
babybibibi : i’d want to high five the inventor of pizza personally
pipes : pizza as we know it or its predecessors
babybibibi : as we know it my man
transco : no road trip to the antiques for you then
detectiveprettybi : screw the future
detectiveprettybi : i wanna see the past
transco : what did the future ever do to you
detectiveprettybi : nothing yet thank fuck
detectiveprettbi : my uncle eobard is way too obsessed with it
captaincold : the fuck kinda name is “eobard”
pipes : sounds evil
heatwave : looks like someone typoed lenny’s name
captaincold : does not
irisbest : ehhhh a little
captaincold : betrayal
detectiveprettybi : tbh it wouldn’t surprise me if he had an evil ploy all along
detectiveprettybi : either that or he’s jsut insane
captaincold : he’s related to you so i guess the latter is a given
babybibibi : damn snart what put you in such a good mood today
transco : ikr he’s so chatty
lesbianda : worth an investigation
detectiveprettybi : why is snart’s good mood more interesting than my villanous uncle
pipes : we’re used to bad guys
pipes : my parents literally ARE bad guys
oliverqueer : tommy’s dad is pretty villainous so in a metaphorical way i too have a villainous uncle
captaincold : your mother had a child with him, your relation to him is so much weirder
bilance : look at snart dodging the investigation
captaincold : i don’t go around inquiring why y’all are in a good mood either
transco : yeah but a) it’s not as rare and b) you don’t care
transco : that rhymed. I am hereby announcing my career as a poet
snowflake : wonderful!
babybibibi : cisco’s got a point though
bilance : did your old man bite the bullet snart
captaincold : not as far as i am aware
heatwave : snart’s known for his weird mood swings now let him have one onto the good side for once
irisbest : mick knows the reason
lesbianda : ofc mick knows the reason
bilance : how could mick not know the reason
lesbianda : i’m on it
heatwave : turning my phone off now
captaincold : great idea actually
pipes : and there they go
transco : it was nice while it lasted
oliverqueer : on the bright side his mood might stay like this if you don’t keep pestering him
babybibibi : but if he’s gone we have no way of witnessing it!
irisbest : that’s really unfortunate
transco : nothing we can do about it now
snowflake : we can only hope he enjoys it
bilance : oh cait, never change

irisbest : maybe
oliverqueer : i’m not kissing anyone except felicity
oliverqueer : it wasn’t even ME who pursed his lips just now
oliverqueer : and my lips certainly weren’t involved
transco : relax
babybibibi : maybe felicity’s about to hack his phone and read this
bilance : sadly she doesn’t do that
lesbianda : we stan couples that respect their partner’s privacy
spACEbar : so you mean like any healthy relationship
lesbianda : YES
snowflake : we deliberatedly share our phones
captaincold : we noticed
oliverqueer : i have no problem with giving felicity mine either but i won’t let anyone spread any fucking rumours about me
irisbest : there’s a difference between handing your partner your phone and them taking it themselves
bilance : definitely
babybibibi : y’all we missed our window to grill eddie and hartley about their apartment. What’s it like
transco : no bathtub
transco : hart was devastated
bilance : there’s three rooms at least
irisbest : did hartley bitch about eddie’s standards being met
bilance : of course

heatwave : you are really pissed at them for moving out
oliverqueer : WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE SHELTER I GIVE!!!

babybibibi : [image attached]
transco : don’t let this be about the burning maze i don’t wanna be sad
babybibibi : nope, shadowhunters
transco : ah
babybibibi : apparently someone died and two pretty boys are sad
bilance : i can see how that would affect cait
pipes : also oliver STARTED shadowhunters so don’t spoiler him
babybibibi : oh damn im quiet
babybibibi : but the thing is my fiancé’s been staring at the ceiling for two hours now
babybibibi : and that’s after she stopped crying
bilance : cait is so tiny
transco : lmao hart just shouted at oliver not to check the chat for a while
pipes : someone has to make sure he doesn’ get spoiled
pipes : he hates that
babybibibi : wait are y’all celebrating
bilance : no cisco’s staying over and tommy insisted we all have a toast on oliver
babybibibi : cute
transco : wait for oliver to tell us all what a good bestie tommy is
pipes : we stan their friendship
bilance : he’ll show off during the club meeting won’t he
pipes : oh yikes tommy’s confiscating phones
transco : bye ronnie

spACEbar : happy birthday ollie!
irisbest : [image attached]

heatwave : naaasty
lesbianda : no visiting my fav detective today, got it
detectiveprettybi : WAIT I’m stuck to my desk?????
spACEbar : THAT’s what you got from that
spACEbar : rude
oliverqueer : thank you <3333
oliverqueer : and tommy doesn’t hate this chat he just thinks i spend too much time on here
captaincold : that’s incredibly valid, actually.
captaincold : happy birthday, queen
oliverqueer : thanks
detectiveprettybi : of course i’m coming to the club meeting today
detectiveprettybi : i would have managed after parole, too, so i don’t get whyyyyyyyyy
heatwave : west’s just horny
irisbest : nooooooooooo
spACEbar : DON’T
bilance : your dad fucks, deal with it
bilance : like at least your dad did not hit on your ex’s new gf’s mother did he
captaincold : your dad hit on felicity’s mother.
oliverqueer : they even went on a few dates
bilance : and look, we’re all cool with that
detectiveprettybi : am i allowed to speak up
captaincold : honestly, please, be my guest
detectiveprettybi : at least everything stays in the family eh
captaincold : was that really the best you could do
detectiveprettybi : i’m trying to navigate through the city without being run over!
spACEbar : you really ARE weirdly civil
pipes : ikr??
irisbest : didn’t they behave like this since you properly rejected eddie
bilance : nah i think it was later
oliverqueer : idk but it IS a lil confusing
oliverqueer : please don’t change that during the meeting tho no fist fights on my birthday
heatwave : spoilsport
detectiveprettybi : bold to assume that i’m gonna show up
irisbest : my dad’s gonna kill you if you don’t
detectiveprettybi : i guess i’m gonna show up…..
transco : coward
oliverqueer : <3
spACEbar : oh btw i’ll be a lil late again
lesbianda : ofc you will
spACEbar : training’s till quarter past 6 it’s not my fault
pipes : oh right i forgot you left us to become a jock
spACEbar : …
transco : what did joe say about your new hobby
irisbest : he’s disgustingly pleased
pipes : what did he say about coldbar being back together
irisbest : he’s disgustingly pleased
bilance : iris still won’t accept that snart charmed the detective
detectiveprettybi : i think he pined harder after him than bar did
irisbest : definitely
captaincold : i honest to g-d don’t know what to say to that
captaincold : congrats i guess
transco : woah since when do you censor His name
heatwave : dating red has made him slip back into his judaism more and more
pipes : and bar isn’t even jewish themself. Impressive
oliverqueer : snart are you part of the kosher nostra
babybibibi : KOSHER NOSTRA
spACEbar : … kosher nostra?
oliverqueer : the term for the jewish mafia, it’s legit
heatwave : lol did ya gf make you study jewish history queen
captaincold : i fucking hate that term bc it only fuels all the prejudices about conspiracies that jews have going on regarding world domination
captaincold : so no i’m no fucking member of that group of jewish criminals
oliverqueer : ah fuck i didn’t even think about it like that
captaincold : do use that small brain of yours every once in a while will you
oliverqueer : sorry
spACEbar : yikes
captaincold : i’ll let you live bc its ur birthday but you’re on thin ice
transco : heh ice
pipes : do we tell the others that it’s Oliver’s birthday
spACEbar : wtf ofc we are
lesbianda : hartley do you really think cait would be able to stay quiet
irisbest : how is she even doing with her shadowhunters trauma
transco : she’s sad
transco : she has been spamming me for half the night
oliverqueer : do you even watch sh
oliverqueer : also NO SPOILERS
pipes : told them
transco : no i don’t that’s why she yells at me
transco : it’s taken me like 5 years to get that this one ship isn’t canon
oliverqueer : which one
transco : no spoilers
bilance : good
oliverqueer : sara i’m not throwing you out you can stop sweettalking me
bilance : bish maybe i wanted to be nice bc you’re old now
detectiveprettybi : so close to being wholesome
captaincold : i gotta say i really am curious about what your relationship has been like
bilance : we can’t all be as pure as you and bar
babybibibi : we’re purer
pipes : coldbar don’t have sex tho
spACEbar : the association of virginity/a sex-less life and purity is extremely harmful
lesbianda : damn the otp is out there calling out ppl today
transco : speaking of oliver are we allowed to interact with our significant others today
oliverqueer : again: it’s never been forbidden
heatwave : great now they’all be gross
irisbest : let them be we’ve all waited long enough for all of them
transco : iris is soft for coldbar
detectiveprettybi : damn snart you won over iris?
captaincold : ain’t the only one
detectiveprettybi : ????
irisbest : i just want everyone to feel comfortable
oliverqueer : same
oliverqueer : that’s why
oliverqueer : [image attached]
transco : oh my god i love you
transco : not as much as hart tho
spACEbar : :D
lesbianda : excuse me is that a whole tray of red vines
pipes : what the hell can’t they do
pipes : it’s fucking 2018 and i’m still pavlov’s dog to team starkid
oliverqueer : we went a lil overboard
irisbest : who BOUGHT this
irisbest : that’s like 6 bowls of chips
babybibibi : was it tommy
bilance : tommy and oliver, yeah
bilance : no idea about normal life i tell ya
oliverqueer : we went a little overboard maybe
oliverqueer : but it’s not like it won’t disappear as soon as we bring it back to the quiver
detectiveprettybi : is tommy joining the meeting
captaincold : shouldn’t you be doing paper work
detectiveprettybi : shouldn’t you be painting
captaincold : no only tomorrow
pipes : no tommy’s staying away from club meetings
babybibibi : rude
spACEbar : it’s almost like he doesn’t love us
transco : bar he barely knows you
spACEbar : that’s
spACEbar : a good point
captaincold : his loss
spACEbar : :’) <3
lesbianda : are you fucking softer than before
babybibibi : it’s gonna pull cait out of her funk at least
captaincold : didn’t y’all want us to get back together
captaincold : deal with it
transco : oh we are
pipes : you were the big topic of the nightly quiver discussion
spACEbar : really
bilance : mostly lisa is gonna kill her dear brother
captaincold : … oh shit
spACEbar : you didn’t
captaincold : nope i didn’t
babybibibi : you didn’t tell lisa you were back together????
irisbest : why do i feel like you forget about lisa’s existence until it’s time to be A Protective Older Brother™
captaincold : i didn’t even tell any of y’all
captaincold : wouldn’t even know if it weren’t for bar
bilance : which was very rude, by the way
lesbianda : yeah leaving us hanging like that
captaincold : y’all are so goddamn dramatic
heatwave : you’re one to talk
transco : shots fired
oliverqueer : don’t start drama right before my party
bilance : your party is on saturday you ass
bilance : don’t blow this tommy hired Someone
pipes : is oliver getting a stripper
irisbest : oliver is a happily taken man why would he get a stripper
lesbianda : bc tommy is sadistic
transco : tommy’s evil plan: hiring a male stripper and watching oliver pop a boner
detectiveprettybi : he is v obsessed with oliver being queer
heatwave : are you sure he is straight
bilance : that sounds like something he would do
oliverqueer : he’s just pissed i never had a crush on him
spACEbar : you really never had??? But he’s hot
oliverqueer : he may be but i also know his personality better than anyone so hard pass
bilance : ^ me @ u
oliverqueer : you don’t know my personality better than anyone
bilance : potato potato
captaincold : can we have the mini party now
detectiveprettybi : someone’s eager
heatwave : is there gonna be alcohol
oliverqueer : we’re at uni
bilance : ofc there won’t
bilance : not officially
captaincold : the only goddamn person i respect

captaincold : my pocket why
transco : Gay
detectiveprettybi : we really weirded out the ppl huh
snowflake : how could you forget that ramadan starts tonight!!!
babybibibi : babe that means they COULD still eat now dw
snowflake : yeah but oliver invited them to his party on saturday
bilance : they’re muslims they wouldn’t drink alcohol anyway
snowflake : i know!!! But now they’ll either feel bad bc they won’t come or they’ll feel bad bc there’ll be catering and they won’t eat or maybe they will eat and break their tradition and
bilance : omg cait i can see you freak out relax im gonna play oliver’s brain cell and text z it’s okay if they don’t show up
bilance : or that they can just show up after sundown, it’s a freaking party not a dinner
babybibibi : thank you
captaincold : goddammit y’all really can’t socialize like normal people huh
detectiveprettybi : be glad this meeting only last 2h
lesbianda : how are we gonna survive saturday

transco : guys we need to make a decision tho
transco : ARE furries LGBT
babybibibi : some of them?

pipes : IS he hot tho
transco : fuck you
transco : i didnt even wanna COnsIDER that possibility
bilance : shoulda put her up with gary
bilance : he seems like someone who’d at least be interested in the semantics
heatwave : put the other weirdos together
detectiveprettybi : speaking of why did zari glare at you like this
pipes : sara’s really been happy that ava left as soon as she saw there’s gonna be a party huh
babybibibi : a lil
heatwave . She’s annoying
spACEbar : who now z or ava
heatwave : both
irisbest : oh just bc zari called you out in class
babybibibi : OH WHAT
transco : story time!!!
irisbest : some people just aren’t used to the way mick phrases things
lesbianda : so he sounded sexist
irisbest : ofc
bilance : when was that
heatwave : few weeks
babybibibi : what
detectiveprettybi : wait
pipes : i’ll bite
pipes : WHERE did that happen
heatwave : class
irisbest : writing class ofc
transco : WHAT
babybibibi : whats mick to do with that????
lesbianda : oh y’all don’t know
captaincold : he does keep it under the wraps
heatwave : i’m a writer. I write. Big deal.
pipes : you what!!
transco : OH WORM
snowflake : That IS a big deal
lesbianda : he doesn’t let anyone look at it really tho
irisbest : yeah zari just caught a glimpse on random
captaincold : and didn’t have anything better to do than voice her unwanted opinion?
captaincold : fuck her
babybibibi : someone angered the bestie
captaincold : all ppl who create art should have the right to keep it to themselves, fuck ppl who won’t respect that
captaincold : that aside mick’s writing is good
irisbest : zari didn’t even criticize it beyond the sexism part
irisbest : but yeah she probably shouldn’t have just read it like that
pipes : that’s like when hearing ppl wanna test their asl so they eavesdrop on Deaf ppl’s convos
heatwave : that’s not at all comparable but thx i guess
heatwave : cat’s outta the bag, whatever
detectiveprettybi : i, for one, am intrigued
heatwave : change the topic
transco : I’m gonna go to church hungover this week can you believe
irisbest : are you really going to church every week
transco : I try
babybibibi : wow you’re really changing the topic
detectiveprettybi : god probably won’t be mad if you skip once
spACEbar : hes scared of mick
transco : ITS PENTECOST
transco : it’s already bad enough it’s not an official holiday
captaincold : oh excuse me aren’t your religious holidays not valued enough
babybibibi : damn Snart you’re being VERY Jewish lately
captaincold : might have to do with the fact that i AM jewish
bilance : you know what we should do before oliver’s party?
bilance : DEADPOOL
transco : fuck yeah i can’t wait for that sweet cablepool action
babybibibi : i am not ready to see josh brolin’s face again
spACEbar : will any of us ever be over infinity war
transco : maybe after the next movie
captaincold : bar you are banned from seeing deadpool 2, sorry
pipes : omg what
spACEbar : oh no
captaincold : yep
transco : i should not be as surprised that snart knows his deadpool comics and yet here i sit,
babybibibi : oh right cable is a time traveller right
transco : aw you listened to me :’)
babybibibi : am i suddenly painted as a bad datemate--
snowflake : No you are perfect
transco : you were brillaint
heatwave : cue why he broke up w u
transco : eyeroll emoji
captaincold : anyway hard pass on that collective cinema visit
bilance : now don’t tell me you don’t like ryan reynolds’ deadpool
detectiveprettybi : gasp
heatwave : we’re gonna watch it tomorrow
lesbianda : NERDS
spACEbar : they aren’t members of this group for nothing
captaincold : babe, my rep
heatwave : mine was ruined today anyway
snowflake : your rep is fine!!!!
snowflake : personally i am a FAN of you writing!!
pipes : cait you’re a fan of everything
snowflake : that does not invalidate the appreciation for mick!!
lesbianda : now drop the topic he really doesn’t like talking about it
babybibibi : we never asked iris what she’s writing about
captaincold : i’m envisioning a love story involving a blond blue-eyed guy
transco : iris are you really writing the oliver queen fanfiction gjgkgjgjg
irisbest : naturally
irisbest : i promised that didn’t i
detectiveprettybi : you freaking legend
captaincold : i’m giving up
Notes:
- oliver isn't there bc he's on his date with felicity, aw
- behrad is there!!!! he's pan and studies to become a dentist
- also mona!!! she's a furry, jury's still out whether she'll stay
- gary, the bi disaster
- i have a list of their subjects at home but i'm not there atm sooooo
- puppy play pride flags are real and i found them at pride while i was searching for an aromantic flag (which i did not find. but a fucking puppy play flag. wtf)
- i have a week off @ pentecost every year and my town has huge celebrations so you cannot IMAGINE my surprise to hear it's not even a full holiday in the US (do you guys even have them. are your shops EVER closed)
- i was lying face down on a row of seats in the cinema when i watched deadpool 2 and noticed that, since a time traveller is there, it's gonna be a big part of the plot, so I'm gonna save my babe bar from that
Chapter 28
Summary:
aftermath of oliver's party! also, there's two surprise appearances!
Notes:
this is a day late bc my wifi was cancelled due to lack of payment and also i'm out of mobile data, lmao. i hope the formatting doesn't screw up

lesbianda : thank god for a second I thought—
oliverqueer : between thea and Malcolm it’s a survival instinct kicking in
bilance : ugh why are you seeing Malcolm
oliverqueer : he keeps showing up!!
transco : lock him out
oliverqueer : that Does Not Stop Him
bilance : it really doesn’t
bilance : Malcolm is a known trespasser

oliverqueer : definitely not
bilance : are y’all hiding from him
oliverqueer : ofc
bilance : good on you
lesbianda : I’m torn between THAT gossip and the bar gossip
detectiveprettybi : nothing happening with bar, they’re still all in the office
babybibibi : maybe they’re giving them a stern talking to bc they’re back with snart
transco : they’d be given them a medal if anything
pipes : ribbon reading “thank you for sacrificing yourself”
oliverqueer : woah since when a we bullying snart
transco : well you’re not here for that are you
bilance : so yall are suicidal, got it
pipes : shrug emoji

lesbianda : superhero Caitlin snow

lesbianda : what about your purposes ollie
oliverqueer : … are you asking me when i’ll come back
lesbianda : yes
oliverqueer : sighs
oliverqueer : we’re on our way to the jet

bilance : jfc oliver you can’t mention something like this to nerds and then not continue
pipes : yEAH
oliverqueer : i could always refer you to my mom
pipes : i know your mother and i pass
bilance : hfkgjgkg that’s the biggest mood
transco : i want to meet moira i am curious
pipes : no babe you really ain’t
lesbianda : why moira though, technically walter is in charge of the company isn’t he
babybibibi : yeah i thought your mom stepped back from that when she became mayor
oliverqueer : i’m not sure what to focus on i am overwhelmed by linda referring to my parents by their first names
lesbianda : do you think your dad wouldve let me call him bobby
bilance : knowing you i think you’d probably have made him do that
heatwave : kinky
transco : mick you’re so chatty today do you know anything about the bar situation
babybibibi : where did eddie even disappear to
captaincold : maybe he’s stepping up and actually working
transco : SNART
captaincold : no
transco : was that a ‘no i don’t know anything either’ or a ‘no, i ain’t telling you shit’
pipes : do you really need an answer to that question
bilance : snart, when faced with the apocalypse and in possession of the only rescue: i’m not gonna tell you anything
captaincold : idk why you’re pointing it out like that when it’s painfully obvious that this is what would, in fact, happen
oliverqueer : lmao
babybibibi : ppl snart would rescue: bar, lisa, mick
pipes : pff he wouldn’t rescue mick
captaincold : yeah mick can go rescue himself
lesbianda : we’re not doubting him
captaincold : no, that was more in the tone of ‘he can go fuck himself’
transco : ah. Of course
bilance : naturally
lesbianda : anyway so oliver are you finally listening to me?
oliverqueer : it was more like a lot of people telling me the same thing over and over
bilance : takes a while to get through that thick skull of yours huh
oliverqueer : you’d know
snowflake : oliver are you, perhaps, scared of graduating
oliverqueer : NO???
oliverqueer : hell i’m looking forward to not having CLASSES anymore
oliverqueer : and, like, why would i even feel anxious about that, i have the best security net possible so even IF i fail in life it’s not like i’ll be on the edge of death
transco : oh god
lesbianda : oliver
captaincold : queen, you are scared as fuck
oliverqueer : i just gave you plenty of proof of how i’m not
babybibibi : yeah but in a way that shows that you are WAY too aware of what could go wrong
oliverqueer : no??? The only thing that could go wrong is that ivo does one of his asshole moves and goes specifically ONLY for the theories he knows i know jackshit about
oliverqueer : and, you know, higher math
oliverqueer : but felicity is helping with that, so!
oliverqueer : and it’s not like i don’t know what to do after graduation either, i have plenty of plans and options and also MONEY
irisbest : oliver babe you’re spiralling
oliverqueer : i’m NOT
bilance : i’m texting felicity
oliverqueer : there’s no need!!! I’m not spiralling!
oliverqueer : i’m gonna talk about my thesis with ivo later and then i’ll work towards my gradu
captaincold : smoak pulled the plug huh
bilance : [image attached]
transco : lmao she WATCHED him freak out
pipes : “he’s not good with change” wtf but he is
pipes : the quiver changes its inhabitants every week
irisbest : that’s not as life-changing as graduating
pipes : i found it v life-changing
bilance : and that’s why y’all are leaving us. Right
pipes : that again
transco : roasted
pipes : u stay silent
babybibibi : WAIT IRIS IS HERE
irisbest : i read up and no i do not know what’s happening and none of them are picking up their phone
lesbianda : did you try calling singh
irisbest : you try calling singh
lesbianda : maybe i will
captaincold : i have to wonder if lesbians have a special connection to middle-aged men or if it’s just you
heatwave : just her
captaincold : probably
lesbianda : wow was that a compliment
captaincold : don’t test me
irisbest : i for one am very for the whole “talking them out of dating snart” idea
captaincold : what did i ever do to you

lesbianda : you’re useless for intel

babybibibi : so goeth and snoopeth
bilance : you just get worse don’t you
transco : why isn’t snart curious at all
captaincold : bc i know bar will tell me if they feel like it?
irisbest : will they tho
captaincold : i said, if they feel like it
lesbianda : you’re boring
pipes : he definitely knows something
irisbest : no he doesn’t bc i won’t accept if snart knows something that i don’t
snowflake : does anyone else feel like we’re all barely paying attention in class this semester
transco : cait don’t talk of a ‘we’ when you obviously don’t fit to the rest
snowflake : ok
snowflake : i feel like none of you guys are paying attention in class this semester
heatwave : we ain’t
snowflake : noooooooooooo
lesbianda : for your sake, caitlin, i will continue to frown at my phone in silence then
irisbest : same
irisbest : should be working on a character description anyways
pipes : i’m at work and bored
bilance : fine i’ll text nyssa then
snowflake : i didn’t want everyone to leave :((

babybibibi : sighs…
Notes:
- the video hartley posts is literally just nyssa glaring at oliver at the breakfast table
- ollie-wan kenobi might be the funniest thing i ever wrote
- the pic eddie posts is the timmy turner trophy meme only that it says "THIS IS WHERE I'D PUT MY LOVE FOR MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER...... IF I HAD ONE"
- the glist is a list on glee where people are ranked by their hotness, season one episode "bad reputation" which also features not only one but two superb performances by the people in my icon, god bless

so how exactly am I gonna get
Singh to sign this without him
coming for my head
I don’t know, you could try to give it
to DA Horton. She always gets what
she wants.
ahhh yes. the famous Ce-Seal
Your Fate Horton
i don’t want the detective to
hear any about this tho
Why exactly? I mean, it does concern
his kid. And wasn’t it his case in the
first place?
until he took in bar yes.
then it got ‘too personal’
So, reopening his investigation…?
He will hear about that anyways.
I am aware
I just dont want him to think
thats how I try to manipulate
bar into forgiving me
And here I thought that’s what
you’re doing.
fuck you
when did I first approach you
abt this? Christmas?
Yeah, you’re right. Sorry.
cant you give it to horton?
aren’t you her intern
… I’m doing an apprenticeship.
At the DA of KEYSTONE.
y are you living in central then
Free housing :p
exploiting queen is a honorable
thing, Ill give you that
I’ll see if I can contact Horton, but
it’ll cost you.
sure, what do you want?
I don’t know yet. But I’ll think of
something.
aight

so
joe randomly gave me your
file today bc “you are my
partner so i gotta make
sure we’re on the same page”
i had no idea there was
private messaging on this
g*dforsaken app
-.-
anyway if you’ve read it
you’ll know i really aint
opposed to murder
yeah sure that was my grande
takeaway
not at all the fact as to WHY
you beat up fuller
that old story still?
well it’s not over yet is it
and my big takeaway actually
is that you’re a softie Snart
and not just for bar
shut up
no rlly
defending oliver‘s honor?
that’s noble
wouldve beaten up anyone
for throwing around slurs
that’s got nothing to do with
queen
sure
if you start any rumours
about me pretty bi, i might
tell the detective something
about you and his daughter
you wouldn’t
you wouldn’t dare to anger iris
don’t test me
fine
then your good soul is a secret
between us i guess
don’t make me laugh

babybibibi : HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!
transco : WE’RE AT OUR FULL POWER
lesbianda : i’m always at my full power
pipes : we have no doubt actually
lesbianda : uwu
bilance : it’s the time where you get all kinda shit in rainbow design bc capitalism makes corporations fake acceptance
spACEbar : damn that’s dark
bilance : it’s what nyssa got when i explained pride month to her
snowflake : wait, she didn’t know it?
bilance : i explained it to her some time ago, mind you
bilance : but yeah they don’t have it at her home :((
captaincold : that’s a good analysis of it, though
bilance : yeah my gf is clever
bilance : except when she befriends my mortal enemy
babybibibi : how did that go
bilance : i have learnt a lot of things about ava sharpe and all of them against my will
oliverqueer : me with the kardashians
detectiveprettybi : didn’t thea force you and tommy to watch the show with her
oliverqueer : … why do you know that
detectiveprettybi : she mentioned it when she was here
pipes : i think for a moment ollie thought you guys are texting
detectiveprettybi : who’s to say we aren’t??
captaincold : the lack of incest jokes
transco : that’s true
bilance : did you know ava is a triplet?
heatwave : damn how’s a stuck up gal as her have two partners
snowflake : no mick, i think triplet as in three siblings
heatwave : ah
heatwave : still weird
lesbianda : yeah she mentioned it
bilance : you talk to her????
transco : top ten anime betrayals
lesbianda : yes, it’s called socializing sweetheart
bilance : hmpf
detectiveprettybi : is this how it went when nyssa and ava talked
pipes : yup
detectiveprettybi : amazing
transco : maybe ava is so stuck up bc she’s had to hold her own against two siblings and never felt good enough
captaincold : you don’t need project your own issues onto others
transco : okay, first of all,
babybibibi : damn i thought iris is studying psychology how is snart the one who analyzes us all
detectiveprettybi : where IS iris
spACEbar : preparing game night
lesbianda : it’s game night????
oliverqueer : don’t cry linda
lesbianda : i wasn’t invited?????
captaincold : sucks to be you
lesbianda : SNART WAS INVITED
transco : i repeat myself but: top ten anime betrayals
pipes : linda being excluded from her surrogate family </3
snowflake : i thought WE’RE the surrogate family
detectiveprettybi : no, we’re the FOUND family, there’s a difference
spACEbar : it’s a pre-birthday game night ofc he’s invited
transco : ohhh right snart’s birthday’s tomorrow
captaincold : and here snart hoped you all had forgotten, thanks babe
snowflake : no it’s in my calendar!
captaincold : wow.

detectiveprettybi : snart doesn’t want us around :((
oliverqueer : here i thought we were finally becoming friends
heatwave : he aint celebrating so drop it

detectiveprettybi : it’s frightening
detectiveprettybi : and hot
transco : was THAT pun on purpose at least
detectiveprettybi : … no
transco : you’re killing me
pipes : are we at least allowed to congratulate then
oliverqueer : no answer for five minutes, i guess game night started
lesbianda : i hope they end up killing each other
snowflake : :(((
detectiveprettybi : do you wanna come to the quiver we can have game night too
lesbianda : you know what? I just might
babybibibi : mick are you also at the wests’
heatwave : work
oliverqueer : yes!!! Let’s start pride month together!!!
pipes : im not coming back to the quiver now, im almost at cisco’s
transco : i wouldnt let you leave anyways
bilance : cute
bilance : nyssa says we’re in, she can’t wait to destroy you all
oliverqueer : ofc she can’t
lesbianda : cool, yeah, i’m waiting for my uber
transco : while im waiting for my bf and y’all are waiting for linda, do you wanna read the poem i wrote for pride month?
detectiveprettybi : are you actually going through with that
detectiveprettybi : just bc one (1) sentence of yours rhymed
babybibibi : he regularly speaks in rhymes, i’ve always wondered if it comes with knowing how to sing
lesbianda : bar can sing and only ever accidentally speaks in rhymes

snowflake : don’t break oliver’s heart!!!!
oliverqueer : why do i feel like im being attacked when all i just did was BE NICE

lesbianda : that’s a compelling argument
bilance : oh god i feel like we really don’t want that

transco : we’re all fine with the age difference as long as nobody mentions it
detectiveprettybi : i… yeah

transco : aaaaaaaaayyyyyyy it’s always sunny
babybibibi : nice iasip!!!
lesbianda : …. No for real lets go to the farmer’s market
bilance : hmmmmm
snowflake : have fun!!!
Notes:
- there really is a book called "vanishing point" about william turner (the painter) and when i found it while researching for a paper i just CACKLED in the library
- the video hartley sends is the NOT ON MY WATCH!!!! vine
- there really is a play called "red" by john logan that is about mark rothko... and my relationship to it is so funny LIKE. a year ago i listened to it bc the cast has jonathan groff on it and i am a simple person, but i'm bad at auditory processing so i never actually GOT that it was a REAL painter and thought it was a fictional one, idek. fast forward to november 2019 when i sat in class and listened to a presentation about rothko and was like "fuck, imma make snart a rothko fan bc it FITS SO WELL". fast forward two more weeks when i was awake the whole night and decided to re-listen to the play and suddenly BOLTED UP and whispered THAT PLAY IS ABOUT MARK ROTHKO?????? and everything fell into place. that the name of the play gives way for jokes i only noticed while writing this chap, lol
Chapter Text
lesbianda : I hate twitter
lesbianda : i just had to see with my own eyes that a guy thinks he’s kinky for going down on his girl

oliverqueer : can’t relate
lesbianda : ahhh a connoisseur

irisbest : ???? no it’s plenty to do with it????

oliverqueer : i doubt that he’ll sell it, no matter the offer
captaincold : i love that you thought about it
transco : HE BETTER
transco : WE CAN’T HAVE THE WORST MAN IN THE WORLD OWN THE BEST COMIC
irisbest : considering what warrior angel stands for it seems a bit odd that luthor would like it
irisbest : like, at all
babybibibi : pfff we all know he probably thinks of himself as the good guy
lesbianda : hopefully he’ll never try to run for president
pipes : don’t give him any ideas
transco : im actually so sad about this like. What is he gonna change. Will the message be lost
transco : OH GOD what if he lets them pull a ‘steve rogers is an agent of hydra’ mess I’LL DIE
detectiveprettybi : didn’t it turn out that he wasn’t one after all
detectiveprettybi : what are even talking about
captaincold : scroll up
transco : im preeetty sure they’d have gone through with it if the fans hadn’t screamed
babybibibi : noooo they wouldn’t have been so ruthless
oliverqueer : well im pretty sure lex wouldnt care about what ppl think

pipes : [image attached]
transco : NOT the TIME for MEMES hartlEY
detectiveprettybi : oh daaaaaaaamn
bilance : gasps
babybibibi : damn we need someone who probably feels the same amount of pain as cisco does and has a rational mind to it
captaincold : bar is busy
babybibibi : well sco has to die then
heatwave : really sad
lesbianda : can’t you revenge buy something oliver
oliverqueer : sure! Shall i buy iron man while i’m at it
lesbianda : actually--
oliverqueer : i don’t have that kinda money
irisbest : i keep forgetting you only have a share of the fortune bc it’s still. So much
transco : where IS bar
transco : during the time of my greatest need they’re gone
captaincold : movie night with the anime nerds aka wally and jesse
bilance : pffffff
pipes : well WE’RE still here,,
transco : hartley i love you but it’s not the same
heatwave : nerds
transco : AND WHAT ABOUT IT
pipes : hey eddie
detectiveprettybi : yes
pipes : we DO need a bathtub
detectiveprettybi : so you can put cisco into a relaxing hot bath?
pipes : yes
detectiveprettybi : swell
bilance : awww you’re cute
snowflake : OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO CRY
babybibibi : :((( was work so bad
snowflake : DIDN’T YOU GUYS READ
irisbest : oh caitlin you’re a fan?
snowflake : ???????????????
snowflake : OBVIOUSLY????
captaincold : i hate to repeat myself but are you talking about the same topic
babybibibi : nah she’s no warrior angel fan
babybibibi : babe what happened
snowflake : THIS
snowflake : [link attached]
snowflake : AS IF THE FIRST SEASON WASN’T SHOT ON AN IPHONE IN THE PRODUCER’S BACKYARD
heatwave : damn snowy calm down
snowflake : DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO
captaincold : oh she’s killer
oliverqueer : oh NO
lesbianda : are you gonna buy shadowhunters
snowflake : oliver PLEASE
pipes : oh fucking hell
oliverqueer : i SURE AS HELL AM
captaincold : you mean if your mom allows?
oliverqueer : … yeah.
irisbest : if we saved b99, then we can do the same for shadowhunters!!!!!
oliverqueer : YEAH
lesbianda: then you can REALLY adopt clary fray as your daughter!!!
snowflake : im so sad
detectiveprettybi : maybe you should go cry with cisco
transco : that’s a FABULOUS IDEA
snowflake : can you come here
bilance : are you too sad to walk
snowflake : no but cisco’s apartment makes me even sadder
lesbianda : djfkfhjfkgjg
transco : we get it, y’all hate my apartment
babybibibi : is that our new running gag
irisbest : we’ll see about that
Notes:
- warrior angel is a comic series in smallville that gets frequently brought up (and lex IS a big fan). basically it's superman within superman bc we know how dctv is with meta jokes (hold up, is THAT why i like it so much???)
- the meme hartley posts is the spongebob screenshot of "marty i'm scared"
- i'm really toying with the idea of having them save shadowhunters in some way but then again i was quite content with the finale of the show so..... probably not. sorry, cait.
Chapter 38
Summary:

lesbianda : who IS that person
irisbest : personally i love checking up on genealogy
captaincold : holy shit babe
heatwave : oh nice

spACEbar : yeah turns out im related to two alleged murderers!!!
heatwave : the keystone killer is not “alleged”
spACEbar : yeah ava said so too
bilance : AVA????
lesbianda : i don’t even know what to concentrate on
spACEbar : ava is very much into true crime, as it turns out
bilance : why THE FUCK do you TALK to AVA
irisbest : why do you talk to ava before you talk to ME
spACEbar : she’s in that class??
spACEbar : pretty sure i mentioned that before
transco : dhfkfjfkf no you did not
snowflake : you really did not
spACEbar : ????
captaincold : think you told me
spACEbar : ah.
pipes : bar really goes out making friends that aren’t us huh
detectiveprettybi : can we go back to you being related to the dude who founded keystone
irisbest : wait i thought the gem cities were founded by the same person
oliverqueer : can a city even be founded by one (1) person
oliverqueer : that seems so dumb
babybibibi : CENTRAL WAS FOUNDED BY A *KILLER*
heatwave : yes?? It’s a well known fact
spACEbar : i don’t think it is
pipes : nope, i think it’s just for us weird crime obsessed kids
captaincold : mick did actually learn about it in school, so
transco : mick went to school??
transco : (that was a joke, how else would he be qualified to study)
lesbianda : im glad you have found your briancell, cisco
oliverqueer : anyone else think about arctic monkeys at that typo? No? Just me?
detectiveprettybi : wait i learnt about him in school too
detectiveprettybi : MICK are you from KEYSTONE
heatwave : yeah?
detectiveprettybi : WHAT
irisbest : damn mick i thought you were a homeboy
captaincold : nope, only got shipped here for juvie
transco : it’s funny that we have all these prison shit here when KEYSTONE was founded by a KILLER
spACEbar : same founder,,,
pipes : that YOU are related to
lesbianda : how old are the cities? Maybe we’re ALL related to him by now
oliverqueer : how did you even get that precise result
spACEbar : oh easy, our prof had us specifically test certain ppl out of curiosity
heatwave : fuckin weird
detectiveprettybi : which fucking teacher was that wtf
spACEbar : devoe, i don’t think you know him
detectiveprettybi : yeah no i don’t
transco : damn bar you’re the chosen one
babybibibi : barry, harry, it rhymes
pipes : you’re a wizard, bar
oliverqueer : HOLY SHIT
lesbianda : oh no he had a breakthrough
captaincold : more like a breakdown
oliverqueer : JULIAN LOOKS LIKE DRACO MALFOY
irisbest : oh god have we reached that level again
spACEbar : oliver, what the hell
bilance : that backfired with your bar/glee parallel too
babybibibi : all leads back to bar
lesbianda : are you sure it’s not just the accent that confuses you oliver
oliverqueer : no have you looked at him???
oliverqueer : y’all make me think i’m going crazy
captaincold : *going*?
bilance : what do you mean, going?
bilance : hah, nice snart
pipes : listen, as a harry potter nerd,
irisbest : well duh who isn’t a harry potter nerd
transco : no, trust me, he’s obnoxious about it
heatwave : you were 8 when the last part came out
captaincold : don’t remind me that they’re all babies
spACEbar : well, i was ten,
captaincold : don’t betray me like this, bar
lesbianda : aaaaand he’s spiralling
pipes : let’s go back to the fact that maybe oliver has a point
oliverqueer : I DO?
pipes : yeah, i mean
pipes : post-war draco or, like, modern AU!draco who ran away from home after realizing his parents are shit--
pipes : he’s got the aesthetic
transco : great now he’s spiralling too
babybibibi : the worst that could happen is him reading drarry fics for the rest of the night
snowflake : very likely
pipes : [reluctantly closes ao3 tab again]
irisbest : treat! Your! Self!
lesbianda : in this house we respect some good old enemies to lovers shit
transco : you do realize who you’re talking to
pipes : we invented enemies to lovers
heatwave : “enemies” you didn’t even try to kill each other you cowards
babybibibi : mick how many characters of yours have that plotline
captaincold : i’d say 90%
irisbest : mick lets you READ his STUFF?
lesbianda : :((( i haven’t seen the new shit
captaincold : finally im privileged
lesbianda : hmpf
spACEbar : i love that expression
spACEbar : ’hmpf’ looks exactly like it feels and sounds
snowflake : okay i feel like we’re slowly going crazy bc we’re sleepy huh
bilance : half the people here are insomniacs, cait
bilance : including my gf who says she only needs 3h of sleep to be functional
snowflake : noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
babybibibi : great HOW am i supposed to calm her down
heatwave : think of somethin, you know her best
detectiveprettybi : point for mick
captaincold : you know that ain’t helping you get laid
detectiveprettybi : that wasn’t even my goal, mick just made a real good point
transco : ronnie don’t y’all still have to watch the peraltiago wedding
oliverqueer : oh I KNEW there was a reason we didn’t scream about that yet
bilance : jeez your brain really only works from 12 to noon huh
babybibibi : CISCO YOU GENIUS
spACEbar : oh the ep is GREAT have fun!!!
irisbest : very true
lesbianda : oh thank god we can talk freely about it soon
pipes : cait should stop being so busy
irisbest : “tv > rl” - hartley rathaway
transco : words to be remembered for
captaincold : i’d never have seen pipes be the one to say something like this but okay
bilance : anyone else think that we progressed weirdly
detectiveprettybi : well did YOU see the linda/mick friendship coming
spACEbar : i think it’s safe to say nobody saw that
lesbianda : not even me tbh and i usually see everything
oliverqueer : we know
transco : somewhere out there is a parallel world where some of us never met
spACEbar : oh nooo
irisbest : well thank fuck that we did
bilance : hell yeah!
Notes:
- there's a run in the new52 flash comics where it's revealed that barry allen is related to the keystone killer (not to be confused with the criminal minds perp lmao), i don't remember if they retconned that later on or something bc i read those in... the summer, i think??? i've been meaning to bring this in since then!!! guess the latest legends ep finally gave me the power
- speaking of, legend be like "mick went to school in central" and i go "no thank you" bc this WAS PLANNED SINCE SUMMER STOP THIS @ CANON

babybibibi : rude
babybibibi : but very likely, yeah
snowflake : we’re not rushing to get married <3
heatwave : why get engaged then
detectiveprettybi : did you just ask someone why they got engaged
lesbianda : it’s the thing to show off the massive amount of love you are guaranteed at all times
snowflake : basically
babybibibi : plus fiance sounds more sophisticated than girlfriend
snowflake : and it’s genderneutral!
captaincold : isn’t it usually fiance and fiancee and doesn’t that hold a gender attribution already
pipes : in a heteronormative world, yes
pipes : otherwise it’s just the same as employer/employee
irisbest : so technically ronnie would be the fiance and cait the fiancee?
pipes : yes
babybibibi : we’re both using fiance and BAM
spACEbar : throwing down the cishets one at a time
oliverqueer : that’s the purpose of this whole chat here after all
bilance : oliver what are these people doing here
oliverqueer : i don’t know how to tell you this sara, but these are your friends
bilance : NOT THE PEOPLE HERE I MEAN THE PEOPLE IN OUR HOUSE
oliverqueer : i don’t know how to tell you this sara, but those are my friends. And my house. Ergo
pipes : oh he speaks latin
transco : literally one word and it’s one embedded into the english vocabulary
captaincold : away with the boner, pipes
bilance : y’all enjoy this too much
detectiveprettybi : Have you decided whether to come downstairs now, my beloved?
transco : oh jeez that was creepy as hell could you warn us before you steal eddie’s phone the next time nyssa
spACEbar : kfjfjfkfkg
detectiveprettybi : I will do no such thing because, regardless of who voices it, the question still stands.

detectiveprettybi : )-:

detectiveprettybi : Naturally they do, just as any human being does.
bilance : it only makes the effect so much worse tbfh
lesbianda : take one for all the wlw and go kiss your gf pls

bilance : fine
detectiveprettybi : Thank you, Sara. I love you.

spACEbar : actual quote, “they all scared of me or what”
irisbest : yeah so we told him the quiver’s usually where we hang out
irisbest : and he said if y’all ever want a change just head over here lol
irisbest : like after pride, he’s gonna be @ cecile’s so we can have an afterparty here if we want
lesbianda : thanks joe but the afterparty is at verdant
spACEbar : figured

pipes : like your house isn’t open already
transco : yeah we’re over all the time
lesbianda : dito
spACEbar : also we told him that eddie’s moving out!!!
spACEbar : which pleased him a lot

babybibibi : wlw fraction, rich kid fraction, no space for eddie
detectiveprettybi : y’all know that nora and laurel are straight right?????
irisbest : i refuse to accept that
snowflake : they have queer energy
babybibibi : listen to cait, she’s the only hettie with a working gaydar
captaincold : the most honorable ally
heatwave : i don’t even doubt that weirdly
oliverqueer : OKAY SO
oliverqueer : IT’S SETTLED
lesbianda : oliver did you make any life changing decisions without consulting me
babybibibi : i love that that’s a thing now
bilance : the brilliant fact that he’s announcing this in the chat first before doing it out loud
spACEbar : ollie loves us more than the newbies
heatwave : youre still hung up on the weirdos disliking you huh
oliverqueer : RAY NATE AMAYA AND NORA ARE JOINING US FOR PRIDE
irisbest : NICE
transco : AAAAYYYYY
babybibibi : sweet!!!!!
heatwave : hella
captaincold : i guess ill take that offer of staying at the west’s house after pride
babybibibi : get some mick
bilance : oh great we now have to tell ppl about this groupchat
bilance : watch ava get offended that we didn’t include the newbies
spACEbar : WHAT DID YOU DO
captaincold : isn’t it obvious
transco : no???
heatwave : queen made the announcement here, idiots couldn’t keep quiet and freaked, q ppl not present wondering how they know
oliverqueer : that’s… a pretty good summary, yeah
lesbianda : well look how you fix that
oliverqueer : yes ma’am
irisbest : that’s music to your ears isn’t it
lesbianda : yeah
lesbianda : speaking of, did i mention you’re out of milk
spACEbar : i know, im currently @ the store
captaincold : sorry
transco : you finished it off??? I thought i did
irisbest : no that was the carton before that
babybibibi : iconic behavior of you all
snowflake : if joe invites us all we should do a money jar for all the things we’re gonna eat and drink there
heatwave : nah he’s fine
bilance : i hate ava
snowflake : oh no!
bilance : she’s not even PISSED
lesbianda : she’s… not?
bilance : NO
pipes : lmao she’s going on about how it’s understandable that we’ve become such a tight-knitted group beforehand blah blah
pipes : it’s infuriating
snowflake : it’s sweet!
spACEbar : i’m not even surprised by sara and hartley reacting like this when someone is nice
transco : ikr
irisbest : and here i thought we were gonna have conflict
bilance : *IM* HAVING CONFLICT
oliverqueer : when aren’t you
lesbianda : so… our float is ordered, people are on board, verdant is ready and I’M PUMPED
detectiveprettybi : plus i don’t have to work!
detectiveprettybi : im at pride as a free man!
captaincold : right, the detective mentioned that
lesbianda : oh neat!!
detectiveprettybi : yeah singh said something about how we deserve to have fun at pride rather than work
detectiveprettybi : he also reminded me to think of my rep tho
heatwave : concept: no cops at pride
irisbest : no cops at pride only eddie
irisbest : and singh
transco : one week to go!!!
babybibibi : do the countdown right, it’s 6 days
spACEbar : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Notes:

transco : fucking hell what
oliverqueer : there’s a ramp for the lower level but to get on top you gotta use a freaking ladder
oliverqueer : felicity told me not to play “my white saviour move” but im fucking angry
oliverqueer : we got her and her chair up now but the fact that we HAD to. im so freaking mad especially since i KNOW shes just acting like it does not bother her
lesbianda : FUCK we’re definitely gonna give them a freaking call if not a lawsuit
snowflake : if felicity wants to go through with it, you mean?
lesbianda : hell we can have them for false advertisement
oliverqueer : hi, felicity here
oliverqueer : can we please drop the topic for the rest of today? i’m having a good view now and would like to enjoy it
oliverqueer : and so far my legs aren’t too bad today so maybe i won’t even need the chair!
oliverqueer : so until i have to get down from here again its just not a thing okay
pipes : okay
irisbest : are you sure you’re okay with that?
oliverqueer : i’m used to it

transco : but it’s true, you’re never at the quiver
transco : OH THAT WAS A RHYME AS WELL
pipes : never and quiver?
pipes : not a perfect one
transco : perfect rhymes are rare in general
pipes : how would you say? Ah, doubt.png
lesbianda : this is THE top anime betrayal
snowflake : IT IS
detectiveprettybi : im laughing
bilance : [vine voice] so, no bow?
oliverqueer : no, no bow
captaincold : we’re already escalating, i see
oliverqueer : so when are you guys showing up?
spACEbar : i thought the parade only starts at 12?
lesbianda : yeah but we’re already partying before
lesbianda : i thought that was obvious
pipes : uh….
oliverqueer : i love that there have been no exaggerations about your uselessness after all
babybibibi : who says we’re useless
oliverqueer : everyone
detectiveprettybi : that’s fair
bilance : okay guys you have t-minus 1h to get to the float, bring glitter and water!

oliverqueer : 1) we never said that
oliverqueer : 2) *I* didn’t do anything
spACEbar : eye emoji
oliverqueer : i guess you’ll just have to head here and see for yourself

oliverqueer : remember how we all thought it’d just be fun nonsense and then that shit cut deep
heatwave : we get it, youre queer nerds
irisbest : we’re leaving soon
irisbest : still trying to figure out whether wally already comes with or not
oliverqueer : if he doesn’t i think he’ll find us quite easily
detectiveprettybi : yeah, just head for the float that’s on fire
spACEbar : i know you’re joking but p l e a s e don’t joke about that

heatwave : bouta leave
snowflake : samesies!
spACEbar : HERE WE GOOOO
captaincold : i will personally keep you away from any alcohol
spACEbar : my hero <3
Notes:
- as always, I am not a wheelchair user myself, but my dad spent the greater part of the day using one. still, if anything is HELLA offensive (or said in a way that seems so... because, once again, not a native english speaker here) please tell me
- in case you didn't know: in a world before arrow, felicity smoak was only a minor side character in dc comics and - you guessed it! - indeed ronnie raymond's step-mother
- i rewatched glee's episode "props" recently and it is, in fact, the most incredible one
- i love y'all, thanks for sticking around
Chapter 41
Summary:
PRIDE!
Notes:
this chapter did NOT turn out how i wanted it, but what can you do. there'll also be at least two interludes to this but i couldn't write them yet as i am drowning in uni stuff and writer's block. yay! but that's something to look forward to?
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

irisbest : im riding with bruce
heatwave : theres a word too much in that sentence
irisbest : i sure hope so
lesbianda : LET’S GO TO MY PARTY
oliverqueer : i…
oliverqueer : sure, it’s yours
Notes:
- the first pic eddie sends is of iris talking to bruce
- the second is this
- the pic cisco sends is of hartley sleeping against his shoulder awww
- yes, you'll see more about lisa's situation and i can tell you there's some meta shit, because ofc there's some meta shit
- linda's pic is of iris and bruce kissing
- i've been meaning to give axel a redemption arc since i read the new 52 comics and FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM!!!!!! but it only worked out now and it's in no way the end of it, as you can guess by cisco's reaction. i just felt like sometimes bad behaviour really stems from being miseducated and that some people can, in fact, change. i will go more into that at some point, i promise, because apologies are uttered easily but you gotta show it, too

Captain David Singh
06 June 2018
Good morning,
Captain Singh!
This is Linda Park
speaking, I don’t
know if you have
my number still saved.
I was wondering
if you’d be interested
in a little interview
preceding this
year’s pride parade?
Linda, how did you get
this number?
Well, you never replied
to the requests I
sent to your work phone.
And, you know, that’s
totally valid! I know
how busy the protectors
of Central City are.
But I figured since Pride
may be a more personal
thing…
We could do an interview
about your work as
Central’s first openly gay
Police Captain!
I did plenty of those
when I first started,
Miss Park.
How about a little update?
Look, you’re friends
with Thawne. You can
do an interview with
him for all I care, I’ll
allow it. But please
don’t bother me any
more.
Oh, you know that
we’re friends?
You’re not exactly
subtle.
That’s right, I guess.
Also, tell Thawne and
Iris to make that
whatever that is they
have going on, it should
not affect the work
morale in any way.
… Damn, you’re
perceptive.
I did not make Captain
for nothing.
I’m also aware that Joe
doesn’t know about…
that, so I will remain
quiet about it. Just make
sure it won’t escalate
again.
Yessir!

I bought a ticket to fly
out for YOUR pride
LINDA
ill cry!!!!
i know the number
of straight coworkers
is like 0 in national
city
but find one and
persuade them to
WOOOOORK
yes ma’am
damn I REALLY do
like reading that
👀
do i need to be jealous
nah, it’s just oliver

jealous of, ever

Oliver Queen
11 June 2018
Here’s the statement
for the website.
[pdf attached]
Look over it, sign it and
forward it to Walter,
then you’re fine.
you’re a lifesaver, linda
why do you write like that
well that was a official
piece of work
gotta have my profesh
voice on point
wait, is that something i
should train
you just should never
write with anyone
professional
ever, youre fine
pretty sure thats not
how it works
you think bruce
wayne writes his
own texts?
you think he has a
ghostwriterfor his
instagram?????
maybe
don’t panic, yours
is fine
too late i already
texted him
goddammit can
you be cool for
once in your life
if you asked around
ppl would tell you
that, no
tru,
thanks tho, you’re an
awesome friend
keep paying your
friends, oliver
  
  
  
Clark Kent
13 June 2018
hi linda!!!!
Can i ask for a favor???
of course!
okay, so this is random
as hell
but it’d also be…….
quite awkward to walk
around the office and
ask….
and when i asked lois
about it she just told
me to “man up, smallville,
and do it” while chloe
never responded at all
bc she’s neck-deep in
idek what….
but the thing is i don’t
KNOW how to do it
clark kent you’re not
asking me about
how to pleasure the
fair sex are you
What???? No!!!
good bc that wouldve
surprised me ngl
so whats up
well you see…..
Perry asked me to
write a feature and i
dont see myself to be
able to.
For personal reasons.
And ive never had to
step back from an article
so how the heck do i
do that???
i dont want him to fire
me!!!!
well im not usually
someone to speak up
against star investigative
reporter lois joanne lane
but if you’re really
that unable to do it
then… don’t? Tell perry
white that you see
yourself unable to do so
ughhh but then hell ask
about the why and i
really dont wanna recall
my entire history with
that guy
pushing away my eye
emoji at THAT
comment
pretty sure you dont
have to display any
personal information
if you don’t want to
then again ive never
had a boss to report
to sooo
isnt oliver your boss????
shhh that’s a recent
development
and, tbh, im more
of the boss there
sounds about right
ugh……….. I guess ill
just tell perry this will
only end in a bloodbath
knowing him he
might like that tho
RIGHT?????
tell me how it goes!
  
  
  
Ralph Dibny
16 June 2018
boy or girl today?
boy!!!
though that may
change during the
day, who knows
alright
let me know if it
happens tho
I found this tutorial
on how to wrap
your pride flag like
a skirt and now i want
all girls to do it
oh that sounds cool
heck i mean if there’s
one time to go with the
whole “clothes have no

spACEbar : it’s wild
transco : [points at linda] she’s beauty
transco : [points at iris] she’s grace
transco : [points at sara] she’ll punch you in the face
Notes:
- the thing bar and cisco are referring to is the episode in s2 of queer eye where they help a trans dude, something i'd been craving from them since the beginning and i LOVED it
- bruce had to leave rather early bc he has a SON
- i know that cisco has another canon second name now (and frankly how fitting would it be for a lil trans cisco deciding to name himself after MR T!!!!!) but paco has been it in this fic since i saw it somewhere else - don't ask me where - so that's that
- raymond means 'wise protection' apparently
- edward means 'rich guard'
- all this time i've been fairly sure dc made up the name 'snart' but you CAN actually find some attempt at ethymology for it online according to which it could mean 'swift runner/messenger'. i kid you not. i lost my shit when i randomly learnt that some time ago.
- okay so listen. 'rory' means 'red-haired king' which in itself is funny bc what's the dudes hair colour??? and now in canon they gave him a certain RED-HAIRED someone (spoilers!). y'all. i've connected the dots.
- the image bar sends in reply to mick's "bald" answer is the 'i don't know what i expected' meme
- the image iris sends is mick flipping her off from the other side of the classroom
- all the name meanings can be found as such on the internet and it's BRILLIANT
Chapter 44
Summary:
miscommunication even happens in a fic based on CHATTING
Notes:
this is somewhat late bc i was struck down my massive back pain and finishing my longest ao3 work to date
also, fittingly, this chapter is a mess, yikes

spACEbar : well i could technically crash at kara’s….
babybibibi : are you randomly deciding to go along
babybibibi : what
spACEbar : i can be fun and spontaneous!
irisbest : no you can’t
spACEbar : yes i can

lesbianda : unless you can sleep on the bus though i’d plan on skipping class on monday
spACEbar : we’re back before tuesday? perfect
snowflake : what’s on tuesday??
captaincold : the third of july
transco : i spontaneously forgot about independence day (not the movie) (how could i ever) and for a hot second thought it’s on the 3rd
bilance : struggle when youve got multiple nationalities?
transco : yeah
captaincold : im fully american and wish i didnt know about it
irisbest : holiday invented by slave-owners? can’t imagine why you’d hate it
heatwave : firework’s nice
pipes : naturally
oliverqueer : oh god. Independence day
bilance : you picked the worst possible time for your bachelor thesis
oliverqueer : i keep noticing
spACEbar : i still can’t wrap my head around ollie graduating
spACEbar : it feels like… like the end of something, somehow
lesbianda : we aren’t letting this chat die
heatwave : i wish you did
transco : no you don’t
pipes : are we singing again
captaincold : nobody is performing annie shut up
pipes : GASPS
transco : snart exposed as broadway stan
Notes:
- i hope you all know the 'much to think about' tweet
- okay so. as you know i am a german bean who finds americans way to confusing, so this has been based on the way my uni works. and therefore oliver writing his bachelor paper goes the same way as it went for me. he has 6 weeks to work on it and then it will take a while until it's corrected and... yeah.
- me, remembering finals weeks has to happen: [sweats]
- 'no you can't' - 'yes i can' is from 'anything you can do' from the musical annie get your gun
- i also forgot about independence day until that second. i can't with you americans.and, now, a bit more serious: oliver's graduation won't mark the ending of the chat, but it'll pretty much be the ending of this series, which hurts me, to be honest. but everything has to come to an end sooner or later and i feel like it's a nice echo of the way the arrowverse did things, which is a method i love, as you might know :D i will finish this part and then the one about the summer vacation and when that's over, it'll have been a whole year in-verse. but fret not - knowing me, it will probably take another whole year irl for me to finish it. and then there's also interludes to still be written, things you can request and... yeah. it's not gone and it won't ever be gone BECAUSE I LOVE THIS FIC and i love y'all for reading it and enjoying it <3333 so, we still have a lot to live through together and i look forward to it!
Chapter 45
Summary:
KeepCalmandGay pointed out that some people still have some unfinished business, so we're taking care of that now.

heatwave : ur own family literally lives in central
lesbianda : >:(
heatwave : doesnt work w u
detectiveprettybi : mick is more fearless than captain singh pass it on
detectiveprettybi : fearlesser?
captaincold : shut up
detectiveprettybi : yeah i worked myself up into that one now
pipes : “less” already is the comparative
transco : wtf comparative of what
pipes : little
irisbest : you’re kidding
babybibibi : there stands braveheart, the fearlittle
snowflake : yeah it’s a whole new word it can’t possibly count
spACEbar : “LESS” IS A FORM OF “LITTLE”????
transco : i wish i could claim english isn’t my first language and therefore i could duck out of this convo but--
detectiveprettybi : wait IS english your first language?
captaincold : didn’t i just say shut up
spACEbar : awww
transco : i learnt english and spanish simultaneously so technically they’re both my first language?
pipes : god that’s so sexy of you
heatwave : interesting foreplay
babybibibi : fuck i failed at being bi-everything bc i only know one language……
babybibibi : but im kinda glad bc imagine having to define your gender specific wordings in multiple language no thank you
pipes : the real enemy: gendered languages
transco : one time i told my abuelo something about a non-binary person and turns out it’s gendered in spanish
spACEbar : oh god what no
transco : are you non-binario or non-binaria bar
spACEbar : neither, thanks!
oliverqueer : that defeats everything???
transco : tell me about it
irisbest : i’ve always wanted to unlock the mysteries of foreign languages hours before my birthday party
detectiveprettybi : not just foreign languages
spACEbar : not just the men, but the women and the children, too!
transco : why did my mind jump to the same place
captaincold : bc you’re nerds
transco : but you love us!
captaincold : well, one of you
snowflake : awwww
bilance : kinda said laurel didn’t stick around for this
bilance : it’s a nerdy discussion!
oliverqueer : and still as messy as ever
lesbianda : that’s us, baby!
Notes:
- oliver feels like he forgets everything bc he's still very much overwhelmed by everything going on (poor boy=
- how did everyone of y'all comment on cait's birthday but nobody on iris' smh
- it has taken me 3 and a half years to namedrop jonathan groff in this, i hope y'all are proud
- cait having the custory rights over the braincell might be the funniest thing i wrote since the ham issue in the snartphone chap
- "fearlittle" comes from me questioning the english languages
- knowing multiple languages while being non-binary is the worst. i know 4 live languages and question my gender in each of them, it's exhausting
- bar quotes star wars at the ending there
Chapter 46
Summary:
this might sound familiar, but iris' birthday party is a mess
Notes:
i've struggled to remember that it's june in this fic so i kept telling myself that and now i legit forgot what month it is in real life.... anyway, heppy pesach and easter to all of you who celebrate!
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

oliverqueer : oh you’ve been texting with clark lately huh
lesbianda : why do you think that
captaincold : y’all’dn’t’ve
lesbianda : shut up
Notes:
- the video bar posts is just cait being crying and saying how much she loves everyone but especially ronnie
- rolf is... not pretty
- the panic! song they're playing is high hopes and the video iris posts at that is after, hartley dragged ronnie and cisco to the dancefloor, them jumping up and down to it. i love this image so much. if any of y'all can draw, i'd give you my left kidney for it (that's my favourite!)in other news, since my one braincell lives at cait & ronnie's apartment now, too: in case you remember any plotlines i brought up but never finished, do tell me! there's a few that i already know will get revealed but maybe i forgot some

spACEbar : that me waving from the basement
pipes : did you just tell iris where youre hiding
spACEbar : no she loc ked us in here
oliverqueer : valid
Notes:
- [clutches my john diggle = world's best husband mug] it's me. i love dig too much to expose him to this madness
- i made happy harbor and ice cream parlor chain rather than a place bc... idk why, it just happened. yup, it's a reference to barry and nora w-a in the show ;A;
- snart's spirals at the age difference between him and bar is actually me spiralling about the age difference between him and bar
- the meme wally sends is this
- the second pic he sends is just one of bar grinning at their phone (i love them so much)
- birthdays at the wests' house means no real food and lots of movies and board games, i wanna be part of them
- rama would crush achilles with his left foot without even noticing he hit that whiny piece of shit and hector's ghost would be clapping as he takes a break from apologizing to patroclus for killing him bc they're all chilling down in hades bc thats where you end up after you died a hero's death and nothing back from your life matters anymore so it's all chill and that's that
- that being said i feel like once they settled that patroclus and hector would join forces and pull pranks on agamemnon for the rest of their undead life while achilles cries about having the power to rule over a small army of the dead (last bit is actually canon in the odyssey, thanks)
- that was brought to you by "yas finally finished a paper for uni after 2 months of working on it so now they need to make fun of it somehow"
- i hope you enjoyed

Chapter 49
Summary:
"delete your fucking e-mails" - my brother
Notes:
please note that i WILDLY underestimated how long a bus ride takes from illinois to california. let's just assume... that it takes half the time. like. 15h max. maybe there's no traffic. or the bus runs with nitroglycerin. or this is just a fictional work created by a small european. something like that.
ALSO WELCOME TO THE WEEK WHERE CANON GIVES ME BACK HARTLEY RATHAWAY WHO ELSE IS EXCITED
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
lesbianda : the dude in front of me who’s rubbing his feet with oil
lesbianda : whoops wrong chat
snowflake : i’m not even sure if i want the context
detectiveprettybi : you’re almost a doctor, you’ve probably seen way worse
pipes : what the hell
lesbianda : THAT WAS MEANT FOR BAR
lesbianda : STOP LAUGHING BACK THERE
spACEbar : she full on turned around to glare at me
spACEbar : [image attached]
snowflake : oh nooo you’re so far apart
lesbianda : yeah that’s why we’re playing i spy
spACEbar : she types this and still glares at me
transco : some people can type without looking at their phone,,,
irisbest : sounds fake but okay
spACEbar : seriously ^
snowflake : why aren’t you sitting together :((
lesbianda : someone else had gotten the seat next to me already
spACEbar : booked my ticket too late
captaincold : did you consider asking if the dude wants to switch
spACEbar : yes
lesbianda : no you didn’t????
spACEbar : i did consider asking
babybibibi : … but you didn’t?
spACEbar : no
pipes : why
spACEbar : i have anxiety
captaincold : what’s the worst that could happen
spACEbar : he could say no
captaincold : and then you’d be in the same situation as right now so it’s not worse
spACEbar : on the opposite, he’d Know
spACEbar : and he’ll spend the whole day thinking about what a dweeb i am for thinking he’d switch his seat with me and then he’ll go home to his husband and tell him about that idiot on the bus
bilance : i love that your anxiety is consisted about people being queer at least
spACEbar : thanks
lesbianda : bar shall I ask
spACEbar : no it’s fine!!!!!
spACEbar : we only have four hours left, it’s cool!!!
oliverqueer : four hours in a bus doesn’t seem so chill
transco : well it isn’t if you’re used to private jets, sure
oliverqueer : … fair
detectiveprettybi : i still can’t believe bar and linda are getting some extra pride
lesbianda : B)
babybibibi : while i have all of you here
babybibibi : how many unread mails do you have
bilance : like 80
oliverqueer : on my private address like 25, official 8
irisbest : the three newsletters that arrives just now
heatwave : i dont get mails
oliverqueer : you don’t get mails?
captaincold : he means he doesn’t check
snowflake : never?
snowflake : mick! There could be uni mails!
heatwave : if i miss anything important theyll tell me out loud
lesbianda : 0
captaincold : dito
pipes : 252
oliverqueer : god why so many
pipes : if the headline doesn’t interest me i’ll just ignore them completely
spACEbar : same, which is why i have 907
lesbianda : WHYYYYYY
bilance : disGOSting
transco : oh
pipes : honestly i never considered 250 many because, well, cisco,
oliverqueer : cisco.
irisbest : cisco do you have more than bar
captaincold : this gives me a migraine please just drop the number
transco : [image attached]
lesbianda : WHAT THE FUCK
babybibibi : yeah sco is horrible
oliverqueer : ALMOST 3000
transco : the goal is to collect 9000+ so i can go full vegeta
spACEbar : OOOOHHHH
detectiveprettybi : what
transco : [image attached]
captaincold : you’re collecting e-mails for a meme? That’s what i call dedication
transco : well actually im on a lot of mailing lists and newsletters and that’s the sum of three mail addresses but… yeah
babybibibi : so we all agree that cisco’s number of unread mails is ridiculous
bilance : did you only ask us to roast your ex
transco : hey!
lesbianda : i already found hartley’s number ridiculous
pipes : life’s too short to read e-mails
detectiveprettybi : did you read the one i forwarded to you at least
pipes : … i will
detectiveprettybi : jesus christ what if it had been pressing
pipes : then i’d have gone with the mick method bc you surely would have addressed it early enough just like you do right now
detectiveprettybi : you got me there
heatwave : see
irisbest : i gotta say hartley i thought you were more organized
pipes : that’s my organisation
oliverqueer : you should see his room, it’s chaos
pipes : it’s chaos to you, not to me
transco : yeah it’s not that bad if you get used to his system
pipes : thank you babe
detectiveprettybi : so many things i should have considered before deciding to move together with the dude
captaincold : bicon will you tell us now why you asked
babybibibi : wells addressed it actually
bilance : which wells
babybibibi : kinda both?
babybibibi : harry complained about hr having 500 unread mails so i guess i can tell him there’s much worse
transco : oh god don’t tell him it’s me
babybibibi : oh i already did
lesbianda : are you texting about us
babybibibi : no i told him right away bc cisco’s numerous unread mails are something i can never scratch from my brain
transco : i feel attacked?
irisbest : more than 100 unread mails must be punished by law
spACEbar : hey
snowflake : how can you even have so many!!!!
spACEbar : sometimes even deleting those is too much,,,
babybibibi : okay, valid
bilance : hey bar is linda still glaring at you
spACEbar : no
spACEbar : she’s back to figuring out what i spy with my little eye
pipes : what’s your tip
spACEbar : red, yellow and white
oliverqueer : that’s an ugly color combination
transco : hey i kinda like it
pipes : yeah, reminds me of firefighters
heatwave : eh
babybibibi : are you gonna tell us what it is
spACEbar : no???? Linda could be reading along????
irisbest : can you believe i only have one sibling this weekend and my best friends decided to skip town,,,,
irisbest : whatever will i do
snowflake : prepare for finals??
irisbest : pfffff they’re only in two weeks
transco : lisa was gonna force me to the rink
transco : you could join
irisbest : oh fun!!
captaincold : oh, so that she can do
babybibibi : are you still fighting
bilance : she’s certainly still pissed at him
oliverqueer : thats how lil sisters are sometimes, it’ll get better
heatwave : dont try to give him tips or hell flip
oliverqueer : ofc he will
irisbest : so what are the others doing this fine weekend
snowflake : … prepare for finals
transco : óh cait
oliverqueer : read through secondary literature
irisbest : óh ollie
transco : are you mocking my keyboard
irisbest : yep
heatwave : work
detectiveprettybi : we’re looking at another flat
pipes : wait we are?
detectiveprettybi : the email i forwarded you,
detectiveprettybi : i thought you checked for it now
pipes : well no
pipes : but cool! What flat
detectiveprettybi : please just open the damn mail
bilance : ngl i love how hartley is way more chaotic than you think at first
transco : it’s all an illusion
transco : the first time i had to work with him i thought stein wanted me to develop some more discipline
transco : now i think he’d meant for ME to teach hart some more order actually
pipes : and you failed
babybibibi : pretty sure he just put you together so others wouldn’t have to suffer
bilance : maybe he never actually pitched you against each other but figured you were the only ones who could work with the other
pipes : no trust me, he enjoyed seeing us fight
transco : one time hart almost poisoned me and stein cheered him on
irisbest : he WHAT
pipes : yeah he found it so funny
irisbest : i meant YOU actually
transco : it wasn’t so bad, he just coated my bag with some acid
pipes : i ACCIDENTALLY spilt some DROPS
oliverqueer : jesus christ
detectiveprettybi : i will die in my sleep won’t i
bilance : eh you’ve been fine so far
detectiveprettybi : great!
Notes:
- i am more chaotic than any of them bc my three e-mail accounts sum up to a number higher than cisco's and bar's combined. whoops. my brother has yelled at me about it two days ago so now i needed to cope
- the meme cisco prepare to copy is, of course, this one
- apparently 'i spy' is NOT a game about colours for americans? wild. again, clueless european at work. also, do you spot my meta joke about the colours there?
- in case you're wondering why lisa is pissed at snart (like she needs any new reasons): at pride he'd confronted her about going out with a guy who's got a grilfriend, remember?- i got most of next week's chapter written already (which is nice bc my laptop keeps dying so writing is a pain in the ass) and it's gonna be FUN!!!!
Chapter 50
Summary:
i received vibes from cisco's phone, so here we are
Notes:
first things first. last episode? I LOVE MY BF HARTLEY RATHAWAY????? I LOVE HIM SO MUCH IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW....... also, like every time we have a masked villain i am convinced that it's Eddie. Please. let them have rewritten godspeed's origin story to make it fit to eddie. i just want my man back. i miss him. plea s e
ANYWAY. this chapter is fun! there's lots of spanish here and i've contemplated just leaving it in english with, like brackets around to indicate it's another language, but then i decided to keep the authenticity (also i missed spanish) (shoutout to my friend kari who corrected my grammar lol)!!! the translations, however, are in the end notes.
hope you enjoy! i love this chapter a lot.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

maybe it’s not real.
mando(lore): no conozco a
nadie de esa gente

memes and stuff like that.
puto hermano: It’s not even
been subtle.

porque soy tu primo

sooooo cuál era tu
pregunta
¿te nombraste en

¿DESDE CUÁNDO

yo no
my boyfriend, however,
puede ser que en
este momento me
haya enamorado de
tu novio
[contact attached]

23 June 2018
[image attached]
what
oh that’s armando
your cousin?
yeah hope its ok i
gve him your number,
he wanted to yell
about glee
OH
no that’s cool
just… how much does
he know about me
wdym
he knows that youre
the nerd ive been
dating for half a year
no i mean… before?
oh
ohhhh
well.
figured
i might have vented
about you a few
times when you were
extremely insufferable
but it’s not like
you are any more!
i get it
do you really
you KNOW that i love
you right
yes of course
i love you too
you know what you
should do?
come with me on
vacation
what???
dont worry about money,
oliver said he’d fly
me out when he leaves for
his vacation anyway
so a second guest won’t
matter and my abuelo
wouldn’t mind either!!
i don’t know
it’ll be fun!
i’m not sure if i want
to spend however long
with people who have
all the reason to hate
me, cisco
that’s why you should
come!
show them that you’ve
changed and that i’ve
probably also
exaggerated a lot
lets be honest
yeah you tend to do
that
i’m still not sure
understandable,,,
and i’d have to check
in with mercury
that doesn’t sound
like a nooo
it isn’t
are you sure you
want me there?
abso-fucking-lutely
i’d love to meet your
family, actually
especially your abuelo.
I know how much he
means to you
does that mean it all
depends on dr
mcgee now
i suppose she’s not
the sole decision-maker,
but yeah, basically
SCREECHES
PUERTO RICO BABY
i’ve actually never been
out of the states
puerto rico IS a state

It’s a game!!!!
It’s not real!!!!!

linda deadass fell
asleep
omg
can you help me
pass the time
i keep spiralling
Sure!!!
about how i should have
stayed at home
like… finals are coming up
I should have studied
and joe’s probably pissed
too
didn’t joe talk to you
yesterday to make
sure you knwo that
it’s Okay
yeah
and i know he meant
it but anxiety,,,
I already hit up len
but...
u kno I love the guy
with half my heart
but sometimes I hate
how rational he is
what about the other
half
that’s where I store
my hatred for time
travel
you store your hate in
your heart?
yeah where else
huh
you got me there
soooo you want a
distraction?
if you can provide one,,,
in the form of a fic idea
I had?
oh YES pls
listen here my friend:
stargate texting fic
wait like a “I texted the
wrong number” one?
I was thinking more
along the lines of
a groupchat
OHHHH
shit that’s good that’d
be fun
ikr their verbal
conversations are
already funny now
imagine teal’c
learning about
memes
djfjfkfk
ohhh the people from
Atlantis could also join
at times!!!!
of course
it’s brilliant
if we keep it as canon
divergent we could
probably even throw
in other fandoms
StarStarStar?
you catch my vibe
nice
GALAXY BRAIN CISCO
I KNOW
ohhh we could use
our groupchat as a
blueprint!!!
so were doing a
collab????
oh shit did you want to
do it on your own
pal until this moment
I didn’t even think to
actually do it
SO YES let’s collab
NICE
so I was thinking,
Carter making
a groupchat for
communication purposes,
Notes:
- if you have a friend who's studying/working in a medical profession and don't annoy them with every random thing, you are doing it wrong, tbh
- optimus prim(e)os, geddit? bc.... optimus prime..... from transformers..... and 'primo' means cousin.... haha
- in the comics cisco has a brother called armando (who is actually rupture) and i made him his cousin. he lives in puerto rico and english is his second language so he makes typos and mistakes like all of us do. also, i was calling him 'mandolorian' at first but the show didn't exist yet at the time this convo is set in. the planet mandalore, however...
- you're more likely to drop words in another language/your native language when talking to someone who also knows it, which is why cisco barely ever speaks spanish in the main chat but does here frequently. THAT's how bilinguality works in fics, folks!
- one of my reading goals this year is the bible! from start to finish! so i had to put it in this fic. originally it was a book club with a friend but i think she dropped it by now.... but well. my reasoning to do it is the same as hartley's but my behaviour while reading is the same as sara's (in fact, i wrote a whole paper on how the tower of babel is the temple for marduk, lol)
- yep, that's rosa dillon. in the comics she's a guy so I Decided That She Is a Trans Girl and in the trans chat now. and a special treat for those who didn't catch it: she's dating sam scudder in the show. both sam and roscoe (og rose in the comics) have a history of dating lisa snart.....
- remember when my best friend won meet & greet tickets for a bieber concert and then the universe didn't let us go.... i swear, i'm over that, i promise.....
- yes cisco has permission to save bar under that name
- no i will NOT write a stargate chat fic
- also, the last flash ep was directed by amanda tapping (aka samantha carter from stargate) so.... it's all playing into my cardsand now the notes you all are actually here for: spanish!
- puta = bitch
- tienes razón = you're right
- no conozco a nadie de esa gente = I know none of these people
- estás mamando = you're kidding
- pendejo = idiot/asshole
- bochinche = gossip
- yo no fui el que vino aquí hablando inglés = I wasn't the one who came in here speaking English
- gringo = well... basically, like, a white and ignorant monolingual american
- and cisco & mando's convo as a whole:listen

pipes : i take it that you are clever

pipes : seeing others suffer is my favorite free-time activity
spACEbar : … how are you friends with bar ‘sunshine’ allen
babybibibi : opposites attract

transco : hey now we met lucifer, he was more easy-going than snart
spACEbar : i understand my friends now
detectiveprettybi : hey you’re kara’s sister right
spACEbar : yes
irisbest : ohhh you can give us so much dirt
spACEbar : karas life is the most boring shit ever
irisbest : lame
snowflake : do you have a fun fact?
spACEbar : i’ve been kicked out of med school when i coped with the stress by becoming a partygirl but now i’m working security so i can actually use these guns
babybibibi : actual guns?
spACEbar : those too
spACEbar : god i love guns
captaincold : mildly upsetting
irisbest : a wee bit
detectiveprettybi : well how often do you even use them, national city is pretty chill isn’t it
spACEbar : eh depends
snowflake : oh god where did we let bar go
spACEbar : i feel like i made things weird so i’ll be leaving
pipes : yeah flee from the consequences
transco : wHeN wIlL yOu LeArN tHaT yOuR aCtiOnS hAvE cOnSeQuEnCeS
oliverqueer : typing this is proof that you hate yourself
transco : yeah it hurt
spACEbar : Oh, great, Oliver Queen is here.
detectiveprettybi : oh god oliver who did you sleep with now
spACEbar : Ugh, no.
spACEbar : I have better taste, thank you.
bilance : hey we all made mistakes when we were young,
captaincold : why did you have to out yourself like that
bilance : impulse
oliverqueer : uhhh who are you
spACEbar : Lena Luthor.
pipes : ohhhhhhhhh
captaincold : my condolences
transco : have you told your brother to go fuck himself recently
spACEbar : Only yesterday, in fact. It never ceases to feel magnificent.
transco : can you do it again in the name of a warrior angel fan
spACEbar : Gladly.
oliverqueer : i still dont know what i did to you
spACEbar : Nothing personally, we’ve just been trained to have a natural dislike for every other billionaire on this planet.
irisbest : didnt your parents have meetings and let the kids play amongst themselves
spACEbar : Yeah, but those meetings were mostly for bitching at each other. Billionaire parents have no soul.
pipes : neither do millionaires
babybibibi : hey you’re dating two people right
spACEbar : Yes.
spACEbar : I’ll admit it’s a bit strange to be dating the cousin of my brother’s ex, but from what I have heard it’s nothing compared to the semi-incestuous things the media reported about Oliver’s sexcapades.
oliverqueer : i don’t deserve this
detectiveprettybi : omg it wasnt me for once
irisbest : wait…………… kara’s cousin dated your brother?????
transco : which cousin
bilance : which BROTHER
spACEbar : Considering Julian died before I was born and I have talked to Lucas for exactly one hour in my life, who do you think?
pipes : OH SHIT?
babybibibi : OH DAMN WHERE’S LINDA AT
spACEbar : … I feel like I have overstepped here. I didn’t realize this wasn’t known, so please forget about it.
spACEbar : Oh bloody hell, I really screwed up.
oliverqueer : we won’t tell anyone, don’t worry
irisbest : YEAH BUT DON’T EXPECT US NOT TO SHOUT ABOUT IT TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE
irisbest : DAMN
bilance : I’M HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN TBH
transco : SAME
spACEbar : oh no
spACEbar : i think i broke the universe
heatwave : linda isnt picking up
pipes : i love that you tried that
snowflake : i’m… shocked and appalled
Notes:
- the show snart watches is leverages and it's bRILLIANT. i'm watching it with my mum atm (started it after a friend of mine kept sending me posts comparing the leverage crew to the legends. it also helps that the guy on leverage who's responsible for beating up ppl has the sam edubbing voice as mick)
- kara's history with glasses is my history with glasses
- once at a party i didn't sleep the whole night because i had three people piled on top of me at all times. so i didn't even have the option of getting rid of my hangover (the first and only one i had in my life) and it was fantastic that on the day after that party my parents and me visited a marching band competition. my head still pounds at that memory
- i'll save you an embarrassing google search in case you don't know: a fleshlight is a sex toy.
- remember how mike was mon-el's human alias?
- i'm calling brainy "carl" in this bc it almost sounds like "querl", thank you
- julian and lucas are lex' brothers on smallville (lena is there too but with a different name). julian really died as a child, lucas is the half-brother lex didn't know he had. he's portrayed by paul wesley and, predictably, an asshole
- .... more about that... other thing.... to come
Chapter 52
Summary:
national city pride, baby!
Notes:
this part of the fic had it's first birthday on the 19th.... it's time to wrap this up at some point, jesus christ. how do these keep getting longer and longer???

transco : WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE WESTFOLD FELL
bilance : bar said that lena refuses to give us any more info (which is valid)
babybibibi : yeah it’s very valid considering neither of the people in question are present
snowflake : I never even thought anyone could feel anything but hatred for lex luthor
pipes : look even cait can’t have positive feelings for him
lesbianda : yeah and clark of all people????
lesbianda : i’ll…. Softly inquire kara about this later….
lesbianda : or lena.
lesbianda : james too. All of them
lesbianda : like. I don’t wanna out anyone or shit BUT I JUST CAN’T COMPREHEND
captaincold : you could ask kent
captaincold : aren’t you texting anyways
oliverqueer : yeah but then she’d snitch on lena
lesbianda : i’ll just… play it cool
lesbianda : we’re partying today anyways, so here’s to loosened tongues
heatwave : fill em up
lesbianda : that’s the plan
lesbianda : though we won’t make anyone drink more than they really want to because in this house we stan consent of all kinds
transco : hell yeah
snowflake : that’s so responsible i love you
oliverqueer : if that’s the way to your heart why are you dating ronnie
babybibibi : hey
snowflake : hey
transco : real talk ronnie is more responsible than most of us combined
captaincold : you’re only saying this to justify that you dated xem
irisbest : he’s dating hartley now though so it’s not like he has standards in that department
pipes : wow remember when you all thought i was stuck up and shit
pipes : kinda miss that time
bilance : you did a good job keeping up that appearance i’ll give you that
oliverqueer : until you moved into the quiver at least

babybibibi : HOLD UP IS THAT EYESHADOW
bilance : oh whaaat bar you look amazing
oliverqueer : you really do!
irisbest : holy shit how did you get roped into this
pipes : and how did you not get into this sooner
detectiveprettybi : HOLY FUCK
spACEbar : there’s many things you can do in life but disagreeing with kara danvers is not one of them
spACEbar : be glad i didn’t wear this to our pride bc snart would have killed you for staring at me
transco : i don’t know what looks better on you - the confidence or make-up
detectiveprettybi : [gif attached]
captaincold : it’s true
lesbianda : whoever did that needs to paint these lids too
heatwave : isnt ur outfit on point
lesbianda : [image attached]
lesbianda : of course it is but who says no to extra make up
transco : people with itchy skin probably
bilance : i look at linda and think shit maybe i’m a lesbian after all
irisbest : mood
bilance : jk i’m very secure about my bisexuality
irisbest : i wish i wasn’t so secure about my only being attracted to men
lesbianda : yeah why am i even friends with you
snowflake : why are we surprised that bar and linda look great? They always do
spACEbar : AWWW CAIT
lesbianda : cait if it weren’t for the fact that i’m sitting right next to my girlfriend i’d ask for your hand in marriage
babybibibi : hey i asked for that first
lesbianda : hey this is patty it’s cool linda can absolutely marry caitlin
snowflake : jhfkfjfj im so flattered
babybibibi : HELLO
snowflake : but i’ll have to decline considering i already have an absolutely amazing fiance
lesbianda : that’s valid okay - patty out
lesbianda : this should have been the part where my gf defends me by saying i am ALSO absolutely amazing tbh
transco : maybe she just didn’t want to advertise you to someone else after all
lesbianda : hmmm
spACEbar : we’re leaving now!!! Lena did not rent us a float to participate in the parade :/
spACEbar : but she did rent us a pavilion to watch from
lesbianda : oh nice i didn’t know that
oliverqueer : y’all need to inform us as to what was better
pipes : lena’s unnecessary hatred lured you into a competitive state?
oliverqueer : … no
oliverqueer : i just want to know what’s more fun so i can plan for next year
irisbest : we wouldn’t want to repeat the wheelchair disaster
captaincold : queen is totally up for a contest
bilance : definitely
heatwave : yep
transco : yeah
oliverqueer : sometimes i truly wonder why i like you guys so much
spACEbar : we’ll send you pictures!!!
transco : YES
detectiveprettybi : send joe some too so he’ll be in a good mood
lesbianda : incredible that you’re still scared of him
detectiveprettybi : nah i’m not
irisbest : doubt.png
detectiveprettybi : okay a lil
detectiveprettybi : but i also need to ask him a favor
pipes : eye emoji
irisbest : eye emoji
bilance : eye emoji
heatwave : eye emoji
oliverqueer : eye emoji
detectiveprettybi : … he just needs to drop me off at the apartment we’re looking at after work tomorrow
bilance : ohhhh
irisbest : oh yeah he’ll do that
irisbest : he’ll love that you won’t live with a snart any more
captaincold : probably, yeah
pipes : did you tell him about our moving plans
irisbest : nope, we figured eddie should have the honors
irisbest : he’s so good at untimely distributing information
detectiveprettybi : HEY
transco : “hey joe good news is that i will no longer be living with the sister of a dude you locked up, bad news is that i’ll be moving in with your son’s best friend who is also under-age”
bilance : sounds slightly fucked up when you say it like this
transco : hartley don’t panic at probably being wally’s best friend
pipes : … i wasn’t…………
oliverqueer : you were
pipes : how would you be able to tell you’re literally at felicity’s
detectiveprettybi : well if there’s one thing i have learnt it’s not to tell joe any half-truths
captaincold : so are you telling him you and iris fucked
irisbest : hey now dont get ME killed
spACEbar : [image attached]
spACEbar : lesbians!!!! Minus linda and patty
transco : alex’ make-up looks amazing, wow
babybibibi : why does national city have such a high rate of lesbians
babybibibi : meanwhile us…
oliverqueer : it’s like when glee started with one gay character and suddenly everyone was gay
pipes : fhfjjjgk YEAH
spACEbar : “fuck assigned gender” squad(t):
spACEbar : [image attached]
transco : is that brainy doing a slav squat
spACEbar : YES HE’S BRILLIANT
babybibibi : oliver when are you hosting a party where we invite all our queer friends from all over the country

spACEbar : hang on !!!!
transco : you two go have fun and keep those pictures coming
lesbianda : [image attached]
lesbianda : here’s a pic of your favourite lesbians
bilance : wow, i love women
Notes:
- bar's make-up is eye shadow in the colours of the ace flag. like, the colours fading into each other, you know? i don't even know if that'd suit grant gustin for real but i dig the idea
- the gif eddie attached is the "both is good" one from road to el dorado
- picture linda as whatever your favourite hot lesbian look is
- bar's lesbians are: alex, maggie and kelly and also kelly's fiance who is still alive in this verse bc we already established maggie/alex and don't want kelly to be sad, ever
- "fuck assigned gender" squad are: nia, bar and brainy who is absolutely a funky demiguy
- patty and linda? absolutely fantastic dream couple that has never been seen before. truly, my shipping of people who have literally never met in canon never ceases to amaze me (2011!yas is so proud of me right now)
Chapter 53
Summary:
one pride month ends (the fictional one), while another starts (the real life one)
Notes:
this past week i have been involved in a minor car crash (no people harmed!), got my eye infected, could not stop picking my skin so now i have wounds all over my face, strained a muscle in my neck while picking at my skin, hurt my back while applying a plaster to my picked skin so badly that i couldn't walk for two days, learnt that half our inner city changed in the two months i spent self-isolated as well as i could, accidentally stole something without realizing AND made my cousin angry at me. but i will take all this negative karma because by some miracle our car passed its inspection and i think i'm the one compensating for it.
note that i wrote this chapter last week before any of the minneapolis situation happened, so a few points could seem quite insensitive atm, perhaps
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
babybibibi : i cannot believe…. that pride month is over….
babybibibi : i feel my life energy fleeting already
babybibibi : soon it’s back to my invisibility cloak
transco : i’ll cling to the feeling of being represented by staring at the 300 pictures that bar sent me
irisbest : you too huh
detectiveprettybi : please tell me they didn’t share all of those in the family chat
pipes : you know about the family chat?
detectiveprettybi : yeah joe asked me to explain a meme wally sent one time
irisbest : poor you
irisbest : even i only pretend to understand the dank memes my brother thinks are funny
babybibibi : maybe it’s a generational discrepancy
detectiveprettybi : millennials vs gen z fight!!!!
transco : i LOVE dank memes
babybibibi : case in point
bilance : wait i’m always confused when does gen z start
pipes : about 1996
pipes : if i remember correctly
transco : when it comes to numbers he always remembers correctly
irisbest : wait so I’M gen z???
detectiveprettybi : google says millennials end 1996 and gen z starts 1997
irisbest : oh thank god
bilance : but shouldn’t we all bend together to fight the old anyways
snowflake : nooooo old people are sweet
pipes : well not every old person of course
transco : only rich mean white cishet people who use it for their own profit
transco : which is the majority, really
babybibibi : there’s also egoistical queer people tho we shouldn’t give those a halo
transco : that’s like the times dante introduced me to gay people and was so confused i didn’t get along with them immediately
transco : Queer People Can Suck Too And Not Necessarily The Good Kind My Dear Brother
pipes : sebastian smythe has joined the chat
irisbest : who
pipes : where are linda and oliver they’d get me
bilance : well ollie is at the library
snowflake : linda, i assume, with patty
transco : why are y’all acting stupid we’ve all been bullied to meet sebastian smythe because it’s bar’s doppelgänger from glee
detectiveprettybi : ohhh yeah that dude was an elitist jackass
irisbest : oh HE i forgot his name
pipes : HOW he’s iconic
bilance : maybe he was back in the day but not anymore
babybibibi : culture has surpassed the need for glee
pipes : TAKE THAT BACK
transco : if ryan murphy proposed a glee continuation in this day and age would you watch it @ hart
pipes : without hesitation
bilance : what about a remake tho
pipes : hmmmm
irisbest : is everyone still a minority just because they’re in the glee club
lesbianda : what would the show be without its most iconic quote
transco : LINDA
snowflake : LINDA
irisbest : LINDA <3
bilance : LINDA!
detectiveprettybi : LINDA
lesbianda : wow what a welcome
lesbianda : what’s up losers i’m out for some sweet sweet boba
transco : goals
bilance : we’re mourning the end of pride month
lesbianda : by discussing glee? Wonderful
babybibibi : we spiralled a lil
detectiveprettybi : once y’all are through with your exams we’ll just have our own pride month
transco : pride year
bilance : i like your style
lesbianda : eddie why are you online your lunch break has been over for a while
detectiveprettybi : you’re not the boss of me!!!!
detectiveprettybi : you’re not even here!!!
irisbest : … dad went to get a donut and never came back huh
snowflake : is he that much of a stereotype
bilance : my dad said you really learn to appreciate donuts when they’re the only sugar intake you have during your shifts
spACEbar : but what keeps them from eating anything else!!!!
spACEbar : in fact, donuts are horrible to eat in the car aren’t they???? powdered sugar everywhere,,,
snowflake : hello nia!!!
spACEbar : hello!!!!!!
transco : HOW could you possibly know that it's her
snowflake : i paid attention to our new friends yesterday
spACEbar : :3c
irisbest : so nia how did you like pride
spACEbar : it was so much fun!!!! brainy got me a kickball jersey of my favourite kickball team where the lettering is in trans colours!!!!!
pipes : what the fuck is kickball
transco : that’s so cool
babybibibi : do you guys really call him brainy
irisbest : i see we have our priorities in order
spACEbar : how can you not know kickball??????
pipes : first of all, i’m gay

lesbianda : me
snowflake : me
irisbest : me
babybibibi : me
transco : me
pipes : well
spACEbar : are you really homeless????
pipes : not for much longer
transco : he’s exaggerating he’s not only living in a house provided by oliver queen, he’s also on an apartment hunt TODAY
spACEbar : that’s amazing!!!!! Good luck!!!!
spACEbar : and to answer the *NSYNC fan’s question…. It’s a reclaimed nickname bullies gave him so YES!!!! we call him brainy!!!!! because he’s AMAZING!!!!!! AND SMART!!!!! AND THOUGHTFUL!!!!
irisbest : so….
bilance : are you dating him
spACEbar : no???? Why would i????
spACEbar : PFFF i don’t even like him like that!!!
pipes : are you sure bc you sound like bar whenever snart is mentioned
transco : so bar is like that no matter who they’re with
snowflake : absolutely
irisbest : speaking of no offense nia but how come you have their phone
bilance : we’re really pushing the national city couples together without even being there huh
lesbianda : worked well enough with alex and maggie
babybibibi : OH so they DID start dating
lesbianda : yeah!!!!
spACEbar : [image attached]
spACEbar : it’s a thrilling contest!!!!
snowflake : oh god they’re gonna get sick
irisbest : you don’t know just how much food bar inhales on a regular day
transco : it’s not pretty
pipes : where’s miiiiiiiick
babybibibi : why

snowflake : shriek is sick? :0
pipes : no he just needs his tiny claws being shortened and we’re all scared to hurt him
bilance : he’s baby
transco : hey do you think we pushed nia into a crisis
babybibibi : let’s hope the nc gang is as good with dealing with crises as we are
lesbianda : nah they have them far less than we do
bilance : rip i guess
pipes : eddie for the past week: hartley our appointment is at 4:30 you need to make absolutely sure that you are on time i beg you please don’t be late
pipes : eddie at 4:45: crickets
irisbest : … you do know that their shift only ends at 5…….
pipes : IT DOES WHAT
babybibibi : omg
bilance : GOD eddie is so clever
captaincold : who would have thought
transco : maybe hartley and eddie aren’t such a bad mix after all
transco : i mean… eddie really is looking right through hart’s chaotic energy
spACEbar : are we finally starting an eddie thawne appreciation trend
captaincold : no never
bilance : i feel like an eddie thawne appreciation trend is long overdue
babybibibi : eddie would DIE for any of us
transco : eddie is one of five (5) cops who matter
pipes : HELLO eddie TRICKED me
irisbest : and he did it maginificently
pipes : i would not! Have been! Late! For such! An important! Appointment!
babybibibi : you know, he’s kind of got a point
transco : i have never seen hartley be on time once in my life
pipes : LIES
spACEbar : i agree
babybibibi : he’s never been late to class
irisbest : excuse me ronnie we’re talking about important appointments here
bilance : that’s the spirit
pipes : i haven’t been late to mercury ever???
irisbest : anyone else feel like maybe hartley doesn’t actually wanna move out
irisbest : he would lose his brand as being homeless, after all
bilance : it would explain why he wasn’t more invested in the search too
bilance : or clearly discussing it with eddie, at least
pipes : excuse you i am HERE and looking very PRESENTABLE
pipes : plus i’ve had a roof over my head the whole time the only change will be that there will be less people to annoy the hell out of me
captaincold : oh so suddenly you haven’t been homeless after all
pipes : i--
pipes : oh fuck you guys
irisbest : snart get your ass over here sara and i need to high five you
spACEbar : oh what are you girls up to!

transco : what are you watching and why wasn’t i invited
bilance : we’re just out here appreciating the hell out of justice smith
babybibibi : as one should
transco : THE GET DOWN BROTHERS ARE DOWN TO HAVE FUN
bilance : the fact that they never let shaolin fantastic be his gay self
irisbest : throwback to that time bar and wally tried to sow themselves some sweet grandmaster flash jackets
spACEbar : they were so stylish!!
irisbest : yeah but your results weren’t
captaincold : please tell me those still exist
spACEbar : they don’t

irisbest : !!!!!!
spACEbar : good luck!!!
transco : hartley be at your most charming!!!!!

Notes:
- ryan murphy did share with us recently how glee would look like if he made it nowadays and tbh i wanted to crawl into a hole as i read it
- bar and kara are having an eating contest. hot dogs. kara wins by a half.
- haha crisis
- my life is an eddie thawne appreciation in case you couldnt tell
- haha eddie would *die* for any of them... haha........ hahaha..... i'll go cry in a corner
- iris and sara are watching jurassic world 2. sara has never even seen any jurassic park but there's justice smith
- okay so when i spotted the grandmaster flash jackets on the get down i've wanted one bc it reads FLASH in bold letters. now bar and wally ripped them out of my hands. geddit. flash.
- joe pats eddie on the back bc he, too, appreciates the hell out of eddie for tricking hartley into being punctual

transco : every so often cait is xyr impulse control
transco : tested and documented by yours truly
irisbest : were you three those ot3 memes with only one responsible member
babybibibi : i plead the fifth

irisbest : it’s the same for jesswallax
lesbianda : that is the ugliest effing shipname i have ever seen
irisbest : you come up with a better one
spACEbar : i love that you guys aren’t even concerned any more
snowflake : i am very concerned!!!
spACEbar : anyone wanna invest in a get-along shirt with me
transco : what even happened lmao
spACEbar : hang on
oliverqueer : do they…. need to ask….?
spACEbar : for permission to share, yeah
babybibibi : eye emoji
spACEbar : len had his job interview at the museum today and the curator was stuck in another appointment that ran long
spACEbar : so someone else was asked to show him around and
spACEbar : it was nate
bilance : don’t tell me snart didn’t know nate works at the museum
snowflake : wait, snart had his job interview????
spACEbar : well i suppose he knew nate works at /a/ museum
transco : nate has a job?
bilance : yes, it was a wonderful act of rebellion
pipes : oh yeah i remember how his parents wouldnt let him live his own life
babybibibi : what is wrong with rich ppl
pipes : well not to defend them but nate does have haemophilia
detectiveprettybi : i read that as ‘homophilia’ and was like same
irisbest : please get some glasses.
snowflake : so why did they get into a fight?? I’m confused
spACEbar : bc mick didn’t warn snart he’ll have to work with nate
spACEbar : and, put mildly, he’s quite annoyed by the guy in general
pipes : wait you used future tense there
transco : was that a confirmation??
babybibibi : omgggggg
spACEbar : hang on
oliverqueer : are they gonna keep doing this
lesbianda : like any of us have secrets here
irisbest : right haha
bilance : okay if we don’t: linda be honest how many time did you and patty have sex last weekend
lesbianda : would you believe me if i said i’m not sure
pipes : yes
detectiveprettybi : yeah, actually
captaincold : there’s really someone stupid enough to place me in the same room as prized possessions, yes
transco : wait
snowflake : YOU GOT THE JOB????
spACEbar : HE GOT THE JOB!!!!
bilance : wow, don’t sound too happy about that, snart
detectiveprettybi : i couldn’t imagine a genuinely happy snart
detectiveprettybi : content maybe, but happy?
spACEbar : yeah he’s just been moping about the curator’s stupidity on the way home
spACEbar : and, like, the nate thing
pipes : i cannot believe tbh
transco : [gif attached]
lesbianda : ah yes. I missed the dirk gently content
irisbest : snart you are literally the only asshole i know who’d be grumpy about getting a job
babybibibi : joe will be so proud
spACEbar : yeah he was
oliverqueer : damn you told him already?
detectiveprettybi : wait, you were at the precinct?
detectiveprettybi : when?????
lesbianda : eddie. I am so disappointed.
lesbianda : you are literally at the SOURCE of gossip
captaincold : who says we didn’t wait until you vanished
detectiveprettybi : you did not seriously time your dropping in with me searching through the evidence chamber
spACEbar : it was pure coincidence
captaincold : that’s what you think
heatwave : stop pretendin 2 be smug
heatwave : everyon just learned u dont kno shit
snowflake : stop fighting!!!
spACEbar : they’re just glaring at each other over their phones
captaincold : stop laughing
oliverqueer : anyway, congratulations, snart
transco : yeah!!!!
babybibibi : other good news to be shared?
babybibibi : [squints at eddie & hart]
pipes : the owner said she’d tell us later this week
detectiveprettybi : yeah but she said it looks good!!!!
pipes : tf when????
bilance : hartley don’t tell me you didn’t pay attention
pipes : okay listen idk who randomly decided to paint me as the most chaotic being alive but it’s getting boring
lesbianda : maybe your hearings aids malfunctioned in that very moment
irisbest : talk about coincidence
lesbianda : hey, stranger things have happened
babybibibi : can you believe that stranger things season 3 won’t happen for another year
lesbianda : like my bike tire randomly exploding, that was weird as hell
oliverqueer : i still refuse to believe that happened
detectiveprettybi : nah hart doesn’t know about it, i texted with bette last night
spACEbar : don’t sleep your way into an apartment eddie
detectiveprettybi : i’m not!!! I’m just having friendly chats!!!
snowflake : right, you have never had any ulterior motives ever before
captaincold : well, if even snow calls you out
detectiveprettybi : the rudeness of it all,,,
pipes : yeahhhh but anyways things look good!
bilance : i have passed the need to be pissed at you two
bilance : now i can barely wait until you LEAVE
oliverqueer : yeah we’ve been waiting for this for what feels like a year
transco : same with snart’s job, though, i cannot believe that’s happening
transco : they grow up so fast :’)
captaincold : watch it
snowflake : what exactly will you be doing at the museum, snart?
captaincold : tours, mostly
oliverqueer : oh that’s good isn’t it?? Will be less tempting
captaincold : you underestimate my skills, queen
detectiveprettybi : la la la la i cannot hear youuuuu
bilance : well you did catch hunter’s attention while mansplaining art to me
lesbianda : preeeetty sure that doesn’t count as mansplaining
heatwave : linda would know
lesbianda : damn right i would
irisbest : ugh now dad will sing hymns about snart at dinner tonight
babybibibi : seems pretty out of character for him
spACEbar : with how wild our lives are i doubt there’s any such things as “in character” for any of us
transco : maybe we’re living in an AU
bilance : we really can’t deal with news like normal people can we
Notes:
THIS IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HATE CHATFICS BC "THEY'RE ALAYS SO OUT OF CHARACTER": maybe so??? isn't.... every au out of character.... based on the fact that they're ripped out of their original content..... why do you guys hate fun....
Chapter 55
Summary:
maybe the prophecies were wrong and oliver dies in 2018, idk

captaincold : we been knew
irisbest : hey!
bilance : no for real i am about to skin him alive
pipes : fucking mood
transco : finally we’re finding out why oliver is gonna die so soon
babybibibi : yeah but why
lesbianda : is this paper related
spACEbar : it feels paper related
bilance : of course it’s fucking paper related
bilance : he’s stressing around and just. Being a bitch
snowflake : oh no! :(
pipes : it’s freaking annoying
captaincold : why don’t you just take out your hearing aids
captaincold : you have an advantage here, pipes
pipes : that doesn’t erase the face he pulls
transco : oh oliver’s vibes are off, got it
snowflake : :(((
spACEbar : hey it’s only for a few more weeks
lesbianda : pretty sure that’s the problem
captaincold : tbh it’s weird that he’s already stressing now
irisbest : i hate to agree with snart but yeah i always thought bachelor papers are something to panic about at the last minute
babybibibi : from what i’ve seen, yeah
bilance : well, i mean.
bilance : if everyone you know doesnt think you can do your own thing but that you solely rely on your parents no matter what you actually do and now this is something that nobody can help you with unless they wanna do something illegal, then i suppose you don’t wanna screw up and panic even more
transco : gasp
spACEbar : :0
snowflake : wow
lesbianda : damn sara was that compassion for oliver
irisbest : the plottwist of this text not containing any hate
bilance : oh trust me laurel already hid every knife that we have
pipes : she really did
spACEbar : i suppose i can see why oliver’s stressing tho
irisbest : sorry i am still not over sara being so… nice about ollie
bilance : i have known that dude since i was 12 i think i can know a little about him
heatwave : u also dated him
bilance : RIGHT
babybibibi : did you just forget you dated oliver queen
bilance : we dated for 3 months, that’s nothing compared to the lifelong suffering i had with knowing him in general
transco : i feel like you’re actually soft for him
bilance : pfff no im not
spACEbar : i agree with cisco
bilance : i’m n o t
snowflake : i sense softness
lesbianda : well, if even cait feels it
bilance : I DO NOT CARE ABOUT OLIVER
captaincold : sure don’t
bilance : if i had to choose between destroying the universe and killing oliver, i’d choose oliver’s death
heatwave : well fuckin yea?
babybibibi : you can sacrifice one person to save a bunch
transco : don’t forget the plants and shit
pipes : “plants and shit” - francisco paco ramon, STEM student
transco : well excUse mE
spACEbar : wow i could actually read that in your voice
captaincold : sara has a point, humanity as a whole sucks
captaincold : so queen and that are on the same level
snowflake : hey! Be nice!
lesbianda : cait is braver than us marine
babybibibi : damn gay she is
spACEbar : shouldn’t it say straight in caitlin’s case :/
babybibibi : let me have this, bar
spACEbar : okay
lesbianda : anyway, i’m not even writing any big papers yet and i already feel oliver
lesbianda : this semester has been going on for too long
irisbest : we did have some adventurous months
spACEbar : let’s hope the holidays are calmer
transco : [nervously eyes this group] [laughs hysterically]
babybibibi : point taken
bilance : oliver just snarled at dig
bilance : i’m. Someone WILL die here
captaincold : you haven’t lived until you die
irisbest : somehow that makes sense
irisbest : still fucks me up
lesbianda : guys, we’re not talking about death again
bilance : well you don’t have to fucking witness it
snowflake : how far is he with the paper?
bilance : fuck if i knew, you can’t get more than a hum out of the guy
spACEbar : that’s mick on his best days
lesbianda : great, i can deal with that!
lesbianda : im supposed to help him with something and i’d rather not die tbh
babybibibi : now look who’s talking about death
bilance : not to dunk on mick but oliver seems more murderous
irisbest : rip linda
heatwave : hey
lesbianda : mick you should come with me so we can test who’s more likely to kill someone
transco : you just want mick to be your bodyguard
lesbianda : maybe so
heatwave : aight
lesbianda : mick you are the only valid man in my life
transco : this is transphobia
lesbianda : oh my god that’s not how i meant it i am so sorry cisco
transco : dhfjfjfkd that’s not how i meant it either dw
spACEbar : well those were two very intense seconds!
bilance : less lethal than entering the kitchen
irisbest : why isn’t he working in his own room
bilance : he needs access to tommy for data and tommy won’t leave the couch
transco : makes absolute sense
lesbianda : yeah tommy really loves the couch
captaincold : i see it, at merlyn’s funeral one of you will mention the couch in your speech
bilance : probably, yeah
snowflake : mick - before you take up work as a bodyguard, how is your cheekbone?
babybibibi : it’s nice to know that snart throws such a hard punch
heatwave : bitch was wearing his ring
transco : it’s a sexy ring
spACEbar : ^
irisbest : you’re obligated to say that
spACEbar : doesn’t make it any less true
bilance : OH HOLY SHIT SOMEONE MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE NO
bilance : SOMEONE MADE A NOISE AND NOW OLIVER IS ZOOMING
bilance : BRB
lesbianda : oh damn rip :/
snowflake : oh no!
heatwave : oh yes
transco : okay bets in who do we think called oliver’s wrath upon themself
captaincold : pipes
spACEbar : hartley
babybibibi : hart
snowflake : hartley
irisbest : hartley 100%

lesbianda : yeah i’m pretty sure it’s been hartley
transco : damn i was gonna say lisa
irisbest : were you really
transco : sike nope i know my boyfriend and his wrongly estimating how loud he is when he’s taken out his aids
heatwave : kinky
oliverqueer : THEY DID IT

captaincold : who did what queen
oliverqueer : HART AND EDDIE
spACEbar : WAIT

oliverqueer : THEY GOT THE APARTMENT
lesbianda : !!!!!!!!!!!!
snowflake : OH WHAT
babybibibi : FINALLY

oliverqueer : FUCK THIS PAPER WE’RE CELEBRATING
transco : so suddenly you are a fan of them moving out
bilance : we told you, it became annoying
snowflake : i wanna celebrate too :(((
snowflake : this is such a huge step!!
lesbianda : yeah!
spACEbar : if i ever move out i’d invite all of you to stay forever
irisbest : really like the “if” here
oliverqueer : CELBRATING IS POSTPONED until eddie is home from work so feel free to come over or grab your favourite beverage and join us in a videochat
babybibibi : yikes i hate videochats
bilance : just hope you’ll never live in a time where you’re dependent on them
spACEbar : i like videochats more than normal calls
babybibibi : nah man normal calls give me the opportunity to rock my bed hair, wear a face mask and whatevs
lesbianda : if i ever videochat you feel free to look as bad as you could possibly want
babybibibi : <3 the support i need
transco : can’t wait to fuck you as loudly as i want while eddie is at work
irisbest : ……. wrong chat
irisbest : i hope
bilance : CISCO
spACEbar : fjkjgkgkg
transco : yeah that was the wrong chat YIKES
transco : but it’s not like y’all wouldn’t think about the changes in my sex life anyways
captaincold : it would have probably come up, yes
spACEbar : i’d rather have pretended that it didn’t
transco : sorry bar
pipes : YES YOU CAN
pipes : HOMELESS POOR DEAF GAY GUY NO MORE I AM NOW SIMPLY POOR DEAF GAY GUY
lesbianda : hell yeah!
Notes:
- snart's ring refers to the one he wears in canon which shin and wenty painfully reminded me off, rip

detectiveprettybi : hopefully yeah
irisbest : she said ‘coming’ not ‘cumming’
detectiveprettybi : ah well
detectiveprettybi : same answer really, i’m at ikea
pipes : you’re really going through with this
lesbianda : with what
detectiveprettybi : i’ve never not had a KRABB, hartley, and i won’t start at the age of 24
snowflake : a what
pipes : that mirror that looks like a wave
irisbest : oh the one EVERYONE had in their teenage room?
irisbest : the one people leave behind as they grow up, especially when they’re 24 and don’t need to take old furniture with them bc they’re not drowning in student loan debt like other people
irisbest : that mirror?
detectiveprettybi : what did my mirror ever do to you
lesbianda : eddie is that a coping mechanism for entering yet another new chapter in your life
snowflake : not gonna lie i’d have thought hartley would be the angsty one
pipes : jokes on you i danced my anxiety away in a mindblowing DDR championship with wally, bar and jax
lesbianda : who won
spACEbar : jax and wally are two cool black dudes do you think we had a chance
irisbest : speaking of i am a beautiful black lady eddie your mirror is literally an offense to me wanting to stare at my ass and boobs at the same time
lesbianda : those are some nice ass and boobs
irisbest : thanks i know
irisbest : like??? I thought that mirror was a relict from your youth eddie and not something you bought bc you wanted it in a year after 2010
detectiveprettybi : hey
bilance : oh god eddie pls tell me that wasnt the only mirror you owned in your whole flat
detectiveprettybi : it’s a surface you can see yourself in, it does what it’s supposed to do
lesbianda : iris girl how did you sleep with him more than once
irisbest : thank god for front cameras
detectiveprettybi : [image attached]
detectiveprettybi : he’s sexey
bilance : i’m sorry i can only see half a person
pipes : i’m literally emo and won’t own the mirror everyone had during their scene phase
bilance : you can accidentally shatter it
pipes : hm yeah
snowflake : no! That brings bad luck!
pipes : caitlin i am a scientist do you think i believe in such a thing
lesbianda : isn’t cait theoretically a scientist too
spACEbar : honestly who knows
bilance : tbh we have too many science ppl here
irisbest : call me skilled, i persuaded eddie to grab me a coffee
detectiveprettybi : and a donut
bilance : legend
irisbest : yeah it’s compensation for the pain i had on my walks of shame
irisbest : and i do not mean the fun kind of pain
lesbianda : eye emoji
irisbest : oh don’t act like that
babybibibi : if cisco does nothing but glare today please don’t mind him

babybibibi : well, you see, unfortunately cisco is an idiot
captaincold : yeah, and?
lesbianda : what no cisco isn’t!
transco : in my defense this semester has been crazy okay
transco : like the only way it could have gotten more chaotic would have been if a pandemic broke loose and there’d been riots all over the state
irisbest : don’t say such things or else bar is gonna have nightmares
snowflake : cisco what did you do
transco : nothing!!!!
babybibibi : which is precisely the problem
babybibibi : w#OAG HE JUST SHOVED ME
captaincold : i swear, someone is gonna taste my fist today
babybibibi : cisco didn’t hand in some of the papers wells requests
babybibibi : well, more like almost all of them
pipes : … the weekly ones.
pipes : the ones you literally CANNOT forget bc wells reminds you of them every time
pipes : and because, well, they’re due EVERY WEEK

transco : okay maybe i AM a little dumb
irisbest : sounds like a lot actually
bilance : ^

babybibibi : apparently I cannot be trusted to me objective about my friends
irisbest : well to be fair you also dated one of them,
bilance : well rip cisco i guess
snowflake : do you have to do that on top of your usual exams?
pipes : no cait we don’t have exams because we usually have to do the weekly papers
irisbest : wow i sure wish that were me
lesbianda : ^
oliverqueer : damn i leave for an hour and suddenly CISCO is he chaotic part of the relationship?

oliverqueer : dude reminds me too much of tommy’s dad to be comfortable to be around to
lesbianda : eye emoji
irisbest : eye emoji
captaincold : yeah give me ten
detectiveprettybi : i don’t know if the fact that all my fav customer service workers are dudes means im sexist or just gay

babybibibi : eddie has the hots for everyone
bilance : true
irisbest : can’t wait to meet him when i work there
detectiveprettybi : well when YOU work there it’s clear who my fav barista is
lesbianda : truly an act of feminism

Notes:
- in case you don't know what mirror we're referring to, it's this one. but only ONE.
- fedora dude is emerson fairweather aka allegra's ex in canon bc i don't have many random characters left to drop somewhere here
- the image sara posts is the "you're doing amazing sweetie" meme

lesbianda : callout post for whoever chose my birthday for putting it in finals week
babybibibi : are you calling out god?
lesbianda : actually? Yes. she can catch these hands
transco : don’t challenge god to a fist fight linda
lesbianda : why not
bilance : actually, i have a ranking of which gods to fight and the christian one is pretty high on the list of those you could easily win against
spACEbar : which one is high up that i wouldn’t win against
irisbest : oh i want to fight zeus
pipes : zeus has to be like top 5
lesbianda : LET’S FIGHT ZEUS
bilance : fun fact bar the first god i always think of in relation to you is savitr
transco : do you… associate us all with gods
bilance : no, not all of you
spACEbar : i am scared to ask but who is savitr
spACEbar : and how do you pronounce it
bilance : kind of like savi-tree and whoever the hell pronounces it differently, much less train a whole generation of comic fans to do it wrongly, can go to hell
pipes : that was weirdly specific but alright
babybibibi : by now that explanation of this savitr guy feels like a plot device that was kept secret for way too long and everyone already figured it out before the showrunners reveal it and it’s the most annoying thing ever
transco : oh you mean like when an obvious reveal happens in like the second to last episode of a season and they have too little time to really explain it so they gloss over it
bilance : DON’T COMPARE ME TO BAD SHOWRUNNERS I AM TYPING YOU ASSHOLES
bilance : disclaimer is that there’s not just ONE hindu religion but multiple different ones and western ppl like to forget about it
spACEbar : wow i almost guessed it’s hindu
bilance : so sometimes he’s associated with the sun and like… bar is a sunshine
lesbianda : yeah, checks out
bilance : also like… movement is his thing and bar is a track runner so HAH and sometimes he’s said to protect all people and things in general and isn’t that the sweetest thing you ever heard
spACEbar : i feel like im being complimented rn
spACEbar : <333
irisbest : oh that fits
transco : is he a god who’ll do a 180 when you’re mean to him like apollo
bilance : probably,
pipes : nobody insult apollo we don’t want a plague on our hands
lesbianda : i don’t wanna fight apollo i’ll go back to fighting the christian god
babybibibi : i thought the christian, jewish and muslim god were the same
bilance : yeah but they depict Him differently
transco : yeah the old testament God is quite malevolent, meanwhile new testament God is a softie
spACEbar : can we drop the god talk i feel like i’ll be smote any minute
transco : nice moana reference
spACEbar : thanks
irisbest : cisco how is your paper writing going
transco : ugh
pipes : yes please give him a stern talking to
babybibibi : he’s really Like That huh
detectiveprettybi : cisco stop procrastinating!!!
irisbest : i feel like that line should have gone to caitlin
babybibibi : yes but she’s stressed about her own 20 exams
spACEbar : 20????
babybibibi : i’m exaggerating a tiny bit but let’s just say if i die this week one of you needs to give cait an alibi
captaincold : you want them to give her an alibi after she killed you.
babybibibi : yes because i love caitlin and know it’ll only be a bad reaction on her part and she’ll never be happy again if i died
irisbest : okay that is sweet but also sad
babybibibi : that’s true love
pipes : don’t just talk to cisco about his procrastination but his writing process too
bilance : … do i wanna ask
babybibibi : oh.
babybibibi : oh no
spACEbar : … what is cisco’s writing process
transco : I wont clean this apartment until im done with this paper
lesbianda : bc you’re so focused on it???
pipes :I haven’t been over in days bc it’s. yikes
transco : nah im procrastinating plenty by staring at walls
transco : the mess vibes with my mental state tho
irisbest : wait what level of yikes are we speaking
detectiveprettybi : you… know different levels of yikes…
irisbest : well there’s ‘bar hasn’t left their bed in days bc depression and lets plates with food stand around until someone collects them’ yikes and then there’s ‘dad forgot uncooked meat in the microwave before we went to visit grandma esther for a weekend and now the kitchen smells very bad and is full of flies’ yikes
bilance : … yikes?
irisbest : yeah.
babybibibi : my experience says it’s more like the former
pipes : maybe without the food
bilance : you mean cisco cleans after cooking?
transco : bold of you to assume I cook
babybibibi : during finals week cisco lives off ramen
lesbianda : bad Latino
irisbest : ur comfort food is pizza
lesbianda : excuse you pizza exists on a whole different scale and has no nationality
spACEbar : pizza is the best wonder of the world
bilance : World Heritage Site
babybibibi : i love pizza
pipes : we know
transco : we know
irisbest : we know
lesbianda : we know
spACEbar : we know
detectiveprettybi : we know
bilance : we know
babybibibi : wow, i feel seen
lesbianda : okay role call who has which exams when
transco : that’s a confusing sentence
spACEbar : hella
irisbest : i have one exam tomorrow and another on your birthday, isn’t that cruel
lesbianda : not as cruel as me having ONE oral (ORAL) exam on my OWN BIRTHDAY
detectiveprettybi : heh oral
captaincold : thank you for that important attribution
lesbianda : and then a paper and a project again, ugh
irisbest : i have to write a paper too :/
babybibibi : i have a paper and other papers to correct
transco : paper of doom
transco : and asl “oral” exam
bilance : let me guess, you have to have a convo in asl
pipes : basically
lesbianda : well that can’t be too difficult for you can it
babybibibi : i don’t even know what exam cait writes but she’s been studying non-stop since wednesday
irisbest : we need to give cait a spa day
lesbianda : spa week
bilance : she deserves it
bilance : i have two exams and i hate it here
spACEbar : i have one
captaincold : same
captaincold : and a 20 page analysis to write
detectiveprettybi : a WHAT
captaincold : some of us have to display our brain, thawne
detectiveprettybi : aw, you mean mine is so obvious i don’t need to prove it? Thanks!
spACEbar : can you guys be nice
heatwave : gotta write a paper 2
lesbianda : mick!!! we can have writing sessions
irisbest : wow, to him you offer it
lesbianda : i thought it was obvious for you
irisbest : <3
spACEbar : when does ollie have to hand his paper in
bilance : 31st
captaincold : how much is he shitting himself
pipes : what do you think
irisbest : eddie, hartley, when do you guys move
detectiveprettybi : we’re packing things throughout the week and on the weekend tommy and dig are helping us move it
lesbianda : wait. You’re in your new apartment in a week?
pipes : that’s the plan
transco : yeah they kind of sprung that on me too
bilance : yeah who are you telling dude they dropped it on us during breakfast two days ago
spACEbar : jesus
detectiveprettybi : listen, being n adult is hard
detectiveprettybi : so many things to consider
captaincold : you are 24.
detectiveprettybi : don’t act like 24 is old. I can still be very much overwhelmed by my life
irisbest : valid
babybibibi : and hart is practically an infant!
pipes : hey
lesbianda : yeah stop saying 24 is old i am turning 24 this week
transco : with how many things are happening this week we can be glad if anyone SURVIVES
spACEbar : any last words before we’re dying
babybibibi : snart i always thought your sister kind of reminded me of my ex
bilance : what
babybibibi : i wanted to get this off my chest!
captaincold : the fuck
heatwave : tiny and lisa look nothing alike
irisbest : you know i thought bar’s joke would be the end of this chapter (of our lives, ofc) but now we gotta go on
babybibibi : … mick. I’ve dated someone before cisco
heatwave : yes snow
babybibibi : i’ve been dating before i met caitlin, too
detectiveprettybi : sounds fake
spACEbar : yeah i thought like you two were first love last love
spACEbar : now i’m sad
transco : wait is that that cara you mentioned
babybibibi : yeah
lesbianda : i am flabbergasted
lesbianda : bamboozled, even
pipes : great ronnie, you pushed the group into an existential crisis right before finals week i hope you are proud
babybibibi : I DIDN’T DO SHIT
irisbest : you did a bit
detectiveprettybi : it’s weird to picture you not completely enamoured with cait
babybibibi : then stop picturing it bc it’s irrelevant!!!
captaincold : i kind of want to revisit the fact that apparently my baby sister is your type
babybibibi : nope i’m too scared of you for this
heatwave : good
Notes:
- i've been meaning to call out dc for naming a villain after a pretty sweet god for so long, you have no idea. then again, though, Savitṛ's personality does fit to the gcau's bar, so here i am using it for MY things. screw you!
- also fun fact: when they dropped the brahmastra storyline in flash i was in my 2nd seemester of sanskrit so when we could choose our topic for the big Translation Paper at the end of the class i asked my teacher if i could have something about that and she was like "i have never in my life heard about the brahmastra" and i was like wtf???? anyway fast forward to last semester where i read the two big indian epics and it's was MENTIONED IN BOTH OF THEM. OPHIRA YOU LIAR IT WAS RIGHT THERE AND INSTEAD YOU GAVE ME A PASSAGE ABOUT A KICKASS GODDESS WHO DEFEATS ARROWS INSTEAD?
- given our current real life situation i think we should sacrifice at least one big nation world leader to apollo and see if it fixes anything. if not, we have plenty more to try
- the moana reference is maui wondering what the adjective to 'smite' is
- tag urself i'm cisco letting his apartment waste away as he writes a paper
- pizza is, in fact, a world heritage site! who would have thought
- in case you didn't know, robbie amell (ronnie's actor) and peyton list (lisa's actress) HAVE been in a show together where they played... love interests - really, it's been more an annoying love triangle that could have been solved by some sweet polyamory - and to this day i am angry that the world DECIDED TO CANCEL THE TOMORROW PEOPLE AFTER THE FIRST SEASON ENDED IN SUCH A CLIFFHANGER. IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS AND I THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY
and now, announcements:
1) i'd like to remind everyone that even though this fic only has two more chapters listed, it's not the end of the gcau. i'll write one more part about the semester break and then it will have been a whole year for the crew (and for us, presumably, 5 or whatever)
2) next week's update will probably be a bit late! i'm visiting my brother whom i haven't seen since christmas for the weekend and breathe some sweet north sea air for the first time since we moves away from there 14 years ago, so you'll have to excuse if we only cover linda's birthday on monday
Chapter 58
Summary:
linda gets a special surprise for her birthday
Notes:
surprise!!! turns out i was an idiot and my trip ended last evening already so here i am, providing the content
i also posted a new interlude a few days ago, you can find it here
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text
detectiveprettybi : my dearest miss park, i am sorry to start your birthday like this - and how the hell am i the first person to congratulate you at 08:57am - but i will have to steal your adopted kid
pipes : technically you still didn’t congratulate her
irisbest : some people text privately, eddie
detectiveprettybi : still i think it’s weird that nobody said it in HERE
detectiveprettybi : it’s like someone knew my text wouldn#t fit into the conversation later on and had me start of the day like this
spACEbar : … you’re weirder than usually eddie
irisbest : did you binge too much riverdale again
detectiveprettybi : NO
detectiveprettybi : i’m just telling you i ran into ralph at jitters so we chatted and now i want to adopt him
transco : damn eddie bar trusted you
spACEbar : BETRAYAL
spACEbar : MY ARCH ENEMY
babybibibi : i thought that hunter guy was your arch enemy
pipes : i had my money on julian
irisbest : i thought their arch enemy is somewhere in the future ngl
irisbest : that they’ll meet that person in the future ofc, we don’t agree with the idea of time travel in this family
transco : in this chat, even
spACEbar : you are the only people i trust
spACEbar : unlike SOMEONE
detectiveprettybi : listen i can explain!!!!!
detectiveprettybi : as a former fat guy who was bullied into hating himself and then lost weight in a way that wasnt healthy at first i NEED to show support to someone who’ll turn someone’s hate into an inspiring speech before even having his first coffee
captaincold : there’s so much to unpack here
babybibibi : well sorry bar but it seems like we’re gonna found a ralph dibny protection squad
spACEbar : >:/
irisbest : oh damn eddie babe i didn’t know it was like that :(
detectiveprettybi : i’m fine but thanks <3
bilance : you’re super fiiiine
bilance : also imagine being such an asshole you make fun of someone for their weight
babybibibi : yeah like??? Being heavy doesnt always mean youre unhealthy? Sometimes it’s really just genetics?
detectiveprettybi : you can say fat, it’s okay
lesbianda : YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STEAL MY KID EDWARD THEODORE THAWNE
lesbianda : ON MY BIRTHDAY NO LESS
lesbianda : I ALREADY HAD ZARI CHANGE HIS NAME IN SCHOOL DATA TO RALPH PARK
irisbest : no you didn’t
lesbianda : i did not but now that i have the idea….
oliverqueer : please don’t adopt people against their will, linda
lesbianda : you are not the boss of me!
pipes : technically….
lesbianda : well technically eddie still didn’t wish me a happy birthday
detectiveprettybi : happy birthday linda, our favourite curious person™ and welcome in the club of 24 year olds
bilance : the best club!!!!
snowflake : that’s us!
detectiveprettybi : you will be added to the cool groupchat soon
transco : wait you guys have a groupchat
snowflake : ofc!!!
bilance : i think ollie, mick and snart have one about being old too
oliverqueer : i’m not old!!!!!
detectiveprettybi : uh i can’t hear you there’s a wall separating us youngsters from the people older than 25
captaincold : you know that life expectancy is at, like, 80 right
captaincold : none of us are even halfway through
transco : if any person older than 25 ever gets ahold of these chatlogs here i just want to say that you guys are very valid and it’s okay if you haven’t figured life out yet, life isn’t a race and we all have different paces
spACEbar : not to mention that people come from different backgrounds too so not everyone can be as fast as everyone else and that’s really okay
irisbest : switching directions is also totally fine! You can always redefine yourself!
babybibibi : everyone is just trying their best and that’s what’s so wonderful, we’re all different and so are our lives
heatwave : y’all are annoying
lesbianda : damn we’re really inspiring for my birthday huh
lesbianda : i love it
pipes : did you have your exam yet
oliverqueer : no she didn’t
oliverqueer : i know that because i will escort her to big belly’s afterwards
lesbianda : YOU WILL???
oliverqueer : yes, you deserve it
captaincold : you are a billionaire and your idea of a treat is big belly’s.
lesbianda : damn i was gonna invite y’all over before i drop off the surface of the earth in the next two days but i guess if i’m at BIG BELLY’S living off oliver jonas queen’s money, i won’t have time for you mere mortals
babybibibi : totally understandable
oliverqueer : her comfort food is big belly’s!!!!
irisbest : and here i was, wanting to return the favor and spend the rest of the day at your apartment
lesbianda : oh you totally can, i just won’t be there apparently
oliverqueer : or… iris could come with
lesbianda : SHE CAN?
irisbest : I CAN???
oliverqueer : guys, i am a billionaire, i can pay for everyone whom linda invites
pipes : ugh your correct grammar is so sexy
babybibibi : cait is only free in the evening and even then i’ll have to make her drop studying
babybibibi : so just tell us where the party is at
spACEbar : wait linda what do you mean ‘drop off the surface of earth’
lesbianda : that’s one secret i’ll never tell xoxo gossip girl
bilance : are you gonna vacate at your actual family’s place for once
lesbianda : the caucAsity
transco : i’ll be real i kind of forgot linda had a family
lesbianda : HEY i visit my parents every two weeks!
captaincold : do you
lesbianda : yes
lesbianda : mick has met them!
irisbest : mick has???
irisbest : the disrespect
detectiveprettybi : linda drop some more park family content
spACEbar : please do
lesbianda : oh there’s nothing special, we’re just your typical asian-american family, you know
lesbianda : tho one thing is v funny
lesbianda : when my mum got pregnant w me i was too small for the doc to see
lesbianda : i’m baby
transco : u literally were
babybibibi : the nurses were busy the day i was born and kept forgetting to put those wristbands with your name onto the babies
lesbianda : WRONG i was a FETUS
babybibibi : so my mum had to decide between three babies in the end and guess who was me
detectiveprettybi : how did she decide
babybibibi : went with the prettiest
captaincold : she must be so disappointed by her judgement now
transco : HEY
irisbest : holy fuck ronnie that is so wild
bilance : how don’t we know how wild your lfie is
bilance : gotta say i feel like we never really focused on ronnie here
irisbest : yes spill the tea
transco : hey now it’s linda’s birthday we should focus on her
lesbianda : ARE YOU KIDDING
lesbianda : getting to know shit about ppl is the BEST present i could ever get!
spACEbar : you know, she’s got a point
oliverqueer : yeah that’s a very linda thing
lesbianda : spill some shit before my exam starts!!!
babybibibi : wtf im not that interesting
transco : pfff dont sell yourself short
transco : the amount of times you told me you got out of situation that could have been dangerous just by saying “no thank you!!!”
irisbest : … what
babybibibi : there was a time i was on a walk and discovered a cave and i was thinking about checking it out but the vibes weren’t right and i left
babybibibi : few days later they discovered it was a hide out of a murderer
spACEbar : WHAT
pipes : tell them about the ghost pizzeria
captaincold : the what now
babybibibi : either those people were ghosts or i turned invisible
bilance : what
babybibibi : yeah i was at a pizzeria trying to order a good one and everyone just ignored me? This one woman almost ran into my, like she didn’t acknowledge me At All
babybibibi : i’m sure that one time i was chased by a horde of boars when i was smaller but my mom assured me it was a dream
babybibibi : but to this day i am missing the glove i lost while i ran so
spACEbar : oh my GOD
spACEbar : i’m. Speechless

lesbianda : WHAT THE FUCK RONALD
captaincold : are you sure you aren’t just smoking too much pot
babybibibi : i don’t smoke too much!! Just what’s prescribed really
babybibibi : you think i’d get through with that when caitlin is my fiance
oliverqueer : wait it’s actually prescribed???
oliverqueer : i thought you were joking
irisbest : omg same?
bilance : anyone else being overwhelmed rn
babybibibi : ??? the weed is helping my epilepsy???
spACEbar : YOUR WHAT
lesbianda : ……….
lesbianda : i
lesbianda : how did we
lesbianda : wow
detectiveprettybi : holy shit you broke linda
transco : i suddenly feel like we should have postponed this until after her exam
irisbest : HOW DID WE NOT KNOW YOU HAVE EPILEPSY?????????
oliverqueer : holy shit yeah
bilance : shouldn’t we have known this to look out for you oh fuck
babybibibi : it’s fine!!!!
babybibibi : i haven’t had a seizure in ages and i know how to spot when one comes up!!!!
babybibibi : really everything under control don’t worry i just don’t announce it everywhere
lesbianda : my whole life just passed me by
lesbianda : RONALD BILIUS RAYMOND HOW COULD YOU KEEP THIS FROM US
lesbianda : FUCK I feel like i need to make an assessment of EVERYONE now
detectiveprettybi : you should do speed dating sessions with all of us but ask about our medical history
captaincold : don’t give her ideas
irisbest : holy fuck eddie i love you
irisbest : youre so brilliant
spACEbar : oh no
lesbianda : iris i know what we’ll do today
irisbest : gladly
heatwave : goddammit pig
transco : you guys really didn’t know about ANYTHING ronnie’s marvellous life throws at us
spACEbar : NO
bilance : absolutely NOT
lesbianda : holy shit man
lesbianda : i need to leave now but just know this will stay on my mind the entire time
babybibibi : god i am so sorry
captaincold : how did this never come up before though
babybibibi : … it wasn’t relevant to the story?
oliverqueer : oh man you’re gonna get such an earfull later
irisbest : i just keep looking at my phone trying to find something to say
transco : ronnie i hope you are aware they’re gonna wanna hear all your stories now
bilance : of course there’s more
pipes : ronnie is a cryptid sometimes, it’s okay
spACEbar : ronnie have you ever SEEN a cryptid
babybibibi : maybe
detectiveprettybi : i genuinely cannot wait for big belly’s
bilance : linda will explode in ronnie’s face
babybibibi : i didn’t do anything!!!
captaincold : exactly
heatwave : & on her bday
irisbest : basically you’re cruel
oliverqueer : and dead
babybibibi : fuck
Notes:
- when i brought in ralph into this fic it as solely to give the CW a massive FUCK YOU for their fatphobia when he first discovered his powers. i did not forget the jokes about his body and i won't forgive them lol
- BEING FAT IS OKAY
- shoutout to everyone older than 25 you guys are doing amazing
- contrary to popular belief linda does have a family
- some things i stole from my own life in this: fetus!linda being too smal for the doc to see her, ronnie maybe being switched at birth (my mum claims she picked me at random based on who the smallest kid was but i'm fairly sure she's just being dramatic and extra when she tells the story and in reality asked a nurse about it), the wild boar thing and the question about whether it happened or not
- i've had the idea of ronnie having epilepsy for a while. i wanted something that's slightly similar to the fits stein had in canon when he didn't have a firestorm partner and it seemed fitting. apparently marijuana can really help with seizures, but you should always ask your doctor about it!
Chapter Text
bilance : IT’S THE LAST DAY
transco : DON’T REMIND ME
lesbianda : have you still not finished your paper
transco : listen we can’t ALL have exams that are so fucking easy
irisbest : just because linda’s task was to analyze how sebastian stan fits into the american beauty standard
irisbest : and she went “sorry i’m a lesbian”
lesbianda : which i AM
lesbianda : and also SOMEONE scrambled my brain
babybibibi : sorry
lesbianda : AND THEN /CAITLIN/ GOES AND SAYS SHE’S SEEN A GHOST

irisbest : ohhhh where
bilance : is it the island
oliverqueer : mayhaps,,,
transco : oliver queen says mayhaps confirmed
lesbianda : bitch what island
bilance : lmao the one for stereotypical billionaires
oliverqueer : my dad bought this island before he died which is deep in the random as fuck chinese sea
oliverqueer : it doesn’t even have a proper name and we got so fed up by always having to search in all his things for the coordinates that i got them tattooed
spACEbar : you got what now
pipes : SO THAT’S WHAT IT IS
transco : where
irisbest : yeah where
oliverqueer : ;)
bilance : lower abdomen
oliverqueer : SARA
captaincold : let me get this in line
transco : FUCK
pipes : i love how you dodged the “straight” in that sentence
captaincold : your family owns a private island that’s so private you can’t remember its location
captaincold : so you got the coordinates tattooed
captaincold : and chose one of the best hidden places?
bilance : he’s a walking thirst trap
irisbest : he really is
detectiveprettybi : rip us all
transco : oliver do you happen to have any other hidden tattoos
captaincold : yeah like on your ass cheek for example
oliverqueer : wouldnt you like to know
babybibibi : yeah actually we WOULD like to know,
spACEbar : i’d like to go back to how you own an ISLAND
lesbianda : i feel like you don’t understand just HOW rich ollie is
heatwave : eat the rich
irisbest : hey mick you learned a new phrase!
heatwave : fuck u
snowflake : cisco are you going to puerto rico again?
transco : yeeep
pipes : yeah me too
bilance : oh wait, you’re taking hart to meet your family?
detectiveprettybi : ohhh that’s a big step
transco : why aren’t you latching onto the fact that coldbar are also going on vacation together
irisbest : they’re only visiting hal, that’s not nearly as groundbreaking
lesbianda : i thought our mindset was more of the “of course coldbar are going on vacation together why would we be surprised” kind but that’s okay too
bilance : those two are statements that can coexist
oliverqueer : hm yeah
spACEbar : ▼ω▼
pipes : i could use a vacation, you know
pipes : plus: i can finally improve my spanish pronunciation by talking to native speakers

Notes:
- last semester I had to analyze how sebastian stan fits into the american beauty standard and while i'm not a lesbian like linda, i was still unable to answer because i was flung back into 2013 where i was at the high point of my attraction to sebstan because i am a major gay
- caitlin having seen her dad as a ghost is based on my sister who has seen my dad's ghost while he had his first stroke. he claimed he has also seen her at the same time and now that's FUCKED UP right
- if you're wondering why hartley knows just how excited snart was for his class, i'll refer you to this brand new interlude!
- the island, of course, is lian yu. which makes snart's purgatory joke funny, i hope
- i have learnt recently that mormons have a long history of being associated with polygyny and while i still can't even wrap my mind around mormonism as a concept in general i'd like to apologize if anyone felt offended that i made a mormon joke about the poly character in this fic during the christmas chapter (... if anyone remembers)
- the image ronnie sends is this
AND THAT IS A WRAP ON THIS PART OF THE STORY!!! as i said, there will come one more, so don't worry. i won#t post it next week, though, because I have to study and also there's 40 fic ideas living in my brain at this point and i'd like to get out at least one of them, but the week afterwards we'll be back! I suggest you subscribe either to the series or to me personally to be informed when it drops.
thank you all for reading and leaving comments!!! i say this often but MAN i cannot BELIEVE people still think i'm funny, this is so sweet. i love you all
