lol this was supposed to be for day 2 of @omgcpanniversaryweek but it’s,, late

local bi flag trio makes a point to take a bathroom selfie whenever they get the chance and they make it Everyone’s Problem

a rec list for @omgcpanniversaryweek day 7, but it's a day late bc i was exhausted for absolutely no reason yesterday

(fghfhd i tried to rec specific things and then i realised that about 80% of the content i consume in this fandom was going to end up on the list. this is by no means an exhaustive list of everyone i'd like to recommend, but this was genuinely getting too long as i kept adding more and more people)

@parvuls is genuinely one of the most talented writers i've ever come across and i think i have almost all of their fics bookmarked on ao3. i'd strongly recommend checking checking out all of their writing, but i especially like right as things grow and at certain times!!

@unconventional-turtle! lucy is a phenomenal writer, artist and all-round content creator! if you're not following her already, her entire art nouveau series is just magnificent, whilst her fics are absolutely wonderful to read!!

@adambirkholtz! em's art is just absolutely stunning and i genuinely love every piece of art she's ever posted! here's her art tag for you to peruse and marvel at

necky (@bittysthesis) is a wonderful writer and she's possibly one of the only people that could ever make me care about pimms (her pimms tag) and her olliewicks fic lives in my mind rent free!

@bisexualnursey is such an amazing person and his talent continues to amaze me every day!! her bully/hops fic is so good, whilst i've been thinking about this art of nursey every day since she posted it!

@backwardscapsmh!! tess is such a skilled and wonderful writer and every single one of their fics is beautiful! i could talk about how much i love and appreciate tess all day, but i'm gonna be brief and just urge you to read her writing and let you see for yourself.

@virgosfr3ckles -> g's talent is genuinely unreal and all of her art is just *chef's kiss*. i think my favourite piece of their art is this comic, but i'd strongly recommend just scrolling through their blog and taking a look at everything they post!

nick (@omgchyeahplease) is such an incredibly talented writer and their work is always fantastic! i think i talk about say my name, say my name at least once a week and it's genuinely one of my favourite fics to come back to time and time again!

Steal Your Heart

In honor of @omgcpanniversaryweek Day 7: Fandom Creations, I decided to post the first chapter.

Dex really liked Samwell Academy. 

Sure, it was a preppy boarding school and the majority of his classmates were too rich and privileged for their own good, but it was normal.

Normal was not something that he had experienced in a very long time. That was the whole reason he even came to Samwell in the first place, for a chance at being normal.

Okay, so the way he got himself admitted was anything but normal, but it was worth it. Worth it to finally be receiving a regular education at one of the best schools in the country and to be around people who had no idea about his family or what they do for a living. Everything was going so well.

Until the night the headmaster’s Porsche was found in the Pond.

Keep reading on AO3.

i've been so busy i unfortunately didn't have the time to pick many recs (and choosing them would have been impossible, as the writers in this fandom are so incredible!)

but, for the final day of @omgcpanniversaryweek , i wanted to share my all-time favourite check, please fic, Ace of Spades by Etoiles_Filantes

It tells Kent's life from when he first met Jack to the end of the comic. It's not a happy fic and tackles mental health and homophobia, but it does end with kent in a relatively good place

It's a really thoughtfully written story that really gets into Kent's head and tries to explain who he is and how everything with Jack affected him, but it's also really beautifully written

I read it last summer and left basically novel-length comments especially in the later chapters, and there are moments in it i think about a lot and just feel so so much

quick transparent nursey for the end of @omgcpanniversaryweek <3

@omgcpanniversaryweek​

A while ago @adambirkholtz​ posted this art of the Frogs at graduation:

Pretend We’re in a Movie

12k, rated T

Posting for day 7 of Anniversary Week because it was inspired by @adambirkholtz , @bisexualnursey , @virgosfr3ckles and helped along by @lilacborrower, 4 of my favorite creators in this fandom! 

When Jack gets the call from his agent about the role his initial reaction is a flat-out no. He knows that all the serious, critically-acclaimed but not-all-that-popular historical dramas he’s been doing were just a strategy to rehabilitate his image, but he likes them. He likes doing serious roles that don’t come with all the media attention of big budget, blockbuster films. He’s not inclined to change what he’s been doing, and he tells his agent as much.

“Jack,” she says tiredly, “if you ever want to make it back on track you have to start doing bigger films.”

“Maybe I don’t want to get back on track,” he mutters.

She sighs.

“Jack, come on. Shitty Knight specifically requested you for this role. You know he and Duan are the next big thing. You should at least read the script.”

That actually makes Jack pause. He didn’t know they were directing.

He met Shitty when he was fourteen, and for three years, right up until Jack’s life fell apart, they acted in a string of movies and were something of a sensation. Jack was actually there the night Shitty decided that stage names were bullshit and that if he couldn’t make it as an actor named “Shitty” then he shouldn’t make it as an actor at all. Over the years he’s told numerous different stories about the origin of the name but none of them have been true. They’d been pretty good friends, but when he overdosed he cut contact with everyone in the acting world– Shitty included. Jack had kept up with his career though. He knew Shitty made the transition into directing and had formed a partnership with Larissa Duan. Their last two films had garnered lots of critical acclaim. And Jack knows Duan’s work too. To put it simply, her work is always of the highest quality.

Jack is wary of the idea of starring in a big film with well-known directors. It’s been eight years, but he still doesn’t know if he’s ready to do this kind of acting again. He feels guilty about the way he dropped all contact with Shitty though. It’s not like Shitty was responsible for his overdose. And honestly? Jack misses him sometimes. He also knows that with him and Duan directing it will at least be a good movie.

In the end it’s enough to make him say, “Fine, send over the script.”

As requested, Part 2! Posting as part of @omgcpanniversaryweek for Day 4: Free Day.

Patience was a virtue that Derek Nurse did not quite possess.

Which is why, when he had managed to make it three days before he found himself making his way down into the basement, he was actually rather proud. In the end, it was an increasingly desperate laundry situation that forced his hand.

A startled, “Chill!” forced its way out of his mouth when he came down the stairs to be met with the sight of a fully constructed house in the previously unoccupied corner of the basement behind the washer and dryer. He wasn’t quite sure what he had expected Dex to come up with after he’d announced his impulsive move into the basement, but it certainly had not included a pane glass door and window, mail slot, and rather impressive fake candle lighting situation around the door. He vaguely wondered if Dex might be some kind of magic or superhuman to complete that kind of construction in under three days.

Light was spilling through the glass, a clear indication that Dex must be inside, but now that he was finally so close, he was too nervous to bring himself to knock. Cursing under his breath at his own cowardice, he busied himself with getting his laundry started. Even if he was too chicken to finally talk to Dex, skipping his laundry was not an option unless he no longer wanted to wear clean underwear. Ultimately, the decision was made for him when Dex emerged from his new abode right as he started the washer.

Part 3! For @omgcpanniversaryweek Day 6: Headcanons. Because NurseyDex has not been officially made canon and I’m salty about it.

His name was Bryce.

Nursey thought it was rather fitting. A douchey sounding name for a douchey seeming dude. The third douchiest guy name, according to Ranker. He was not proud to admit that he’d looked it up.

It had been a few months since he’d apologized to Dex, and things between them were still feeling fragile. Nursey felt so awkward around him now, finally recognizing the growing sense of warmth in his chest for what it was. A big fat fucking hopeless crush on Dex.

And it definitely wasn’t fucking helping to have to watch him being romanced by the douchebag discount Derek Nurse lookalike.

At least Chowder finally took pity on him and spilled the deets. Apparently, Bryce was in one of Dex’s programming classes, a football player, openly gay, and Nursey’s worst fucking nightmare. Bryce had been flirting with Dex since the spring of their sophomore year. Dex didn’t show any interest in him at first. Not before the move to the basement, anyways.

And that was what hurt him the most. It felt like Dex had given up on him. He wasn’t trying to be conceited and assume that Dex had feelings for him without any evidence, but the fact that he started dating dollar store Derek Nurse within days of their own falling out seemed to speak volumes.

It was killing him to think that he could have had a chance with Dex if he’d just stopped being a little shit long enough to get his head out of his ass and recognize his own goddamn feelings.

Keep reading on AO3.

Another Hops hc for @omgcpanniversaryweek :

Hops' grandparents hail from Gullah Country, and his parents made a point to cultivate an appreciation in his heritage despite them living in the Midwest.

Besides SMH, a factor that made decide on Samwell is the research done there on Gullah linguistics and culture. And he doesn't hesitate to share it with interested teammates.

Golden Boy

Jack Zimmermann headcanon for @omgcpanniversaryweek​​ day 6

I’ve had this headcanon for YEARS.  You know that one music video from the 1990s of Jason Statham dancing in nothing but leopard print underwear, glistening gold?  Yeah, this one:

I have a headcanon that when Jack was a frog at Samwell, his mom’s friend was director shooting a music video for a song called “Golden Boy.”  The model they were going to use canceled at the last minute.  So Alicia volunteered Jack to be the dancing guy in the video. The outfit?  A pair of gold briefs.  That’s all. 

Of course, Jack is like, “No way!”  But Alicia promises Jack he won’t be recognized.

“They’ll cover you in gold body paint—head to toe.  I promise, no one will recognize you. You’d be doing my friend a HUGE favor.” “I can’t, maman.  That’s so embarrassing!” The director is like, “You can also wear a gold eye mask—like a bandit.  No one will recognize you.”

Jack hems and haws, but finally agrees after he’s assured again that no one will recognize him.  So, he shoots the video.

He’s covered in gold body paint, wearing a ridiculously small pair of gold lamé briefs, and a gold mask covers his eyes.  He dances like no one’s business.  The video comes out and the song is a hot flash in the pan that’s soon forgotten.  And no one is the wiser that Jack Zimmermann is The Golden Boy from that one song.

That is, of course, until years later. Shitty and Lardo are watching a funny video compilation on Watch Mojo, and that one song “Golden Boy” is included.

They’re laughing at how terrible the song is and cheesy the video is, until the backup dancer guy around the laughter stops cold.

“I RECOGNIZE THAT ASS ANYWHERE!” Shitty bellows.

And that is how the gang found out that Jack was the Golden Boy.  Sure, he will deny till he dies, but the gang knows.
