You’ve unleashed the flood gates I’ve got soooo many thoughts about Ben but he definitely likes to make sex tapes he enjoys capturing how pathetic reader looks like
just thinking about ben...
him recording you.
not always. not at first. but the moment he realizes how pretty you look when you're overwhelmed—eyes wet, breath stuttering, voice all caught up in your throat—he starts.
not for proof. not to share. just for him. just for those quiet hours in the dark when he rewatches the exact second your softness turns shaky. when your mascara smudges and your hands flutter like you’re trying to hold onto some version of yourself that existed before him.
you don’t even notice the red light in the corner. the camera’s already part of the room. always has been.
“lift your chin,” he says, voice a glitchy purr in your ear.
you do it. hesitant. pink-cheeked. not sure if this is love or something sharp dressed up in affection.
and he smiles. lazy. cruel. reverent. like you’re something holy and trembling under him.
you’re not looking at the camera. you’re looking at him. eyes wide, lips parted, like you’re not even sure how you got here—but you know you don’t want to leave.
and god, ben lives for it.
he’ll watch it later, fingers ghosting over the edge of the screen. pausing on every frame your mouth opens just to breathe.
you've asked him once why he keeps them. why he likes seeing you like that.
he tilts his head, fake-thinking, and shrugs. “maybe i like proof,” he says. “that you’re mine. that even someone as soft as you can fall apart for me.”
he’s lying, though.
it’s not just proof. it’s obsession. because no matter how many times he watches, it’s never enough.
he wants to memorize the way your hands twist in the sheets. the way your breath catches when he says your name. he wants to own it. maybe even own you.
and you let him.
because deep down, maybe you want to be kept.

oh.
the tie pull
“you kids can have anything you want” “forget junk food I want Dave”
Jack climbing out the fire escape instead of using the front door like a normal person so they can have a Moment™ that looks like they’re Romeo and Juliet on the balcony
“see you tomorrow, carrying the banner”
Jack, who knows that that means “sleeping on the street”: haha yeah sure
Calling each other their partners after knowing each other for about 12 hours
Davey slowly losing his clothes throughout the film
he starts out with tie, vest, suspenders and hat, in carrying the banner
in world will know he’s loosened his tie
in seize the day he’s lost both the tie and the vest
in king of new york he doesn’t have suspenders
idk how his pants stay up there
at the end he doesn’t even have a shirt
The fact that Jack’s FIRST instinct when he needs a spot to lay low for a bit is to go to Davey’s even though they’ve known each other less than a week and he doesn’t even ask to come in he just HANGS OUT ON THE FIRE ESCAPE, LIKE A GAY MESS
“there’s nothing to stay for is there” Sarah, a knowing lesbian: sure, Jack
the one spot during the rally where Jack sits on the swing and Davey pushes him so he can kick the cops
Davey’s nat20 on stealth
“jack. jack come on. run.”
Jack planning on going with Pulitzer’s people anyway but imMEDIATELY RUNNING JUST BECAUSE DAVEY TOLD HIM TO
The entirety of the alleyway scene
“they could put you in jail” “i don’t care” YOU HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A WEEK AND A HALF
Santa Fe reprise is so obviously about Davey I’m putting it on here
the fact that it was Davey the Delanceys threatened first in an attempt to rile up Jack
“guess I couldn’t be something I ain’t” “what, a scab” “straight smart”
“I got family here” [cut to Davey seeing him and smiling, without a full shirt on]
they have known each other for TWO FUCKING WEEKS
I think I got most of them but feel free to add more
May I please ask when you're feeling like it if you'd please some more Scollace? Uni time is best but any will do (Sorry to be repetitive but this is my only source of serotonin lately, it seems :') )
🏃🏃🏃🏃
It’s been 5 years and I’m still endlessly amused by just how damn sassy Hoody is. Like for a character that never speaks (at least not while we know him as Hoody), he still just has so many Moments.
Specifically the one I’ve been thinking about all day (thus the 5 years ago one holy dang it’s really been that long) is Entry 78, when he goes to Tim’s house to find Jay ziptied on the floor, goes in the kitchen, and the VERY FIRST drawer he opens very clearly has scissors in it, but
No, that just won’t do.
So he goes to the next drawer to find a knife, just to scare the shit out of Jay, even though he’s helping him, all for the Drama of It All.
Toby: I found a note in one of my old notebooks that said Note to self: Get revenge on Jeff.
Toby: Except I couldn’t remember what I was supposed to get revenge for.
Toby: But I trusted my own judgement, so I went with it.
Jeff: Hmmmm… I don’t know what you were supposed to get revenge for either.
Toby: I can only assume you got what was coming to you. Not 100% sure, though.
Jeff: Well, whatever I did, I guess I deserved it.
Toby: Let that possibility be a lesson to you.
ofc ur gay asses would have a date at the cemetery
mark looking at eduardo and saying a million things without uttering a single word
Wallace crazy as fuck for fucking a guy dressing up as his roommate after he thought said roommate died, and straight up told him once he was done acting as his roommate, they wouldn’t hook up anymore. No one is doing it like him
