Well I have no sleep schedule and your notifications on so I'll be here when you're posting!🍄

HAHA ur too sweet! glad to hear my impromptu uploads aren’t too inconvenient for people tho <3

Hi kait!

I'm so excited for your techno fic!!! beauty and the beast is my favorite fairy tale

-🍄

thank u mushroom anon!! i’ve always resonated with belle so i am so so excited for it too!

i haven’t decided if i want to break it up into multiple parts and do it slow burn style (which admittedly i’m not as good at but the practice would probably be good for me) or if i want to make it a longer fic but cut out some of the less important scenes that build up belle + beast’s relationship (maybe like the library scene where he just shows her his collection yk)

idk i think i’m gonna just write it all and then decide ?? we’ll see *shrug*

You can just dm me since you know my main lmao

-🍄

okay! huge dm coming ur way LOL

good cause I was gonna throw hands😤

-🍄

HAHA ily mushroom anon /p

crushing [georgenotfound]

pairing: georgenotfound x gn!reader

pronouns: they/them

synopsis: sometimes peer pressure can be a good thing, especially when it's pressuring your friends into confessing their feelings.

wc: 2.0k

anon asked: can I request a George x fem reader where they are crushing on each other but does not know the other likes them back? Maybe George gets teased about it (in a friendly way) by dream, Quackity and Karl. Then he actually goes to dream for advice and they have a serious friendship-talk moment. Meanwhile Karl asks the reader about her crush and they talk. It would be lovely if they later confesses!

a/n: wasn't gonna post this because of that stream but i think we all need some george redemption. also i made this gn! instead of a f! reader, i hope that's okay <3

tw: angst 2 fluff, slight peer pressure

“goodnight chat! i’ll probably stream tomorrow, maybe we’ll hang out on the smp or maybe some mcc practice? who knows! anyways, we’re going to raid sapnap now so make sure you say hi to him for me!” you waved to the camera, replying to a few more donations before hitting the raid button and ending your stream.

though you were living and working your dream job, you couldn’t help but find the constant demand for content completely and utterly exhausting at times. it had become a second nature to be in front of a camera, but sometimes all you wanted to do was call with your friends without the prying ears of over a hundred thousand viewers. it seemed like at least one of you was always streaming, however, and it proved to be quite draining.

“i think i'm gonna go shower and probably call it a night, guys. that stream really took it out of me.” you told your friends, and they all mumbled in acknowledgement, wishing you a good night. through the goodbyes, a certain someone spoke up and caused your heart to flutter.

“call me when you wake up tomorrow, so we can plan our next lore stream.” george called, and you smiled subconsciously.

“course i will, gogy! g’night guys!” you replied cheerily, before the distinctive sound of someone leaving discord echoed through the call.

quackity, dream and karl burst into immediate laughter, and george flushed.

“so we can plan our next lore stream?” dream questioned with a wheeze.

“course i will, gogy!” quackity mocked, his tone high-pitched and all.

“shut up.” george mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

it wasn’t uncommon for the boys to poke fun at your interactions with george, or as they liked to call it, your ‘flirting’. it was the same thing every time, george assuring them you were just friends and that you acted that way with everyone, and them arguing that you had always had a soft spot for him in particular.

oh how he wished it was true, that you had feelings for him. the truth was, george was enamoured by you the minute he met you. however, as most crushes went, he didn't believe in the possibility you could see him as anything more than a close friend, and so he kept it to himself. no need to make things awkward between you and him, especially since you shared the same close group friends that too would be affected. all in all, things were better this way.

at least, that’s what he told himself.

“george, you can’t seriously tell me you’re so blind that you can’t see how much they like you.” karl tried, and like the thousands of times they’d asked the same question before, george only sighed.

“they don’t. you guys are so annoying.” he mumbled, and quackity began to speak once more, but just at that moment, sapnap undefeaned on discord with a small “i’m live!” warning, and the boys launched into interacting with the stream.

a few long hours later, sapnap bid his stream goodbye, and then he dismissed himself to go to sleep. quackity left shortly after, mumbling about working on his next lore stream. karl hung out for awhile longer, before excusing himself as well to go get some food and a monster to prepare for a late night alt stream.

thus, only george and dream remained in the call, laughing at some stupid joke from the stream, when a comfortable silence fell over the two. they sat quietly for a short while, before george sighed.

“hey, dream?” he called, fidgeting with his hands slightly. dream hummed in acknowledgement, and george swallowed nervously. “why do you guys keep pushing me to talk to y/n? i know you guys keep bringing up the supposed ‘flirting’, but i’m pretty sure it’s all just for the bit.”

dream was quiet, seemingly pondering his response. “it’s not a bit.” he stated, simply. george frowned slightly, tilting his head, despite his camera being off.

“how do you know?” george fired back, and dream chuckled quietly.

“george, i’ve known you and y/n forever, hell, i probably know you both better than i know myself. i’ve seen the way they light up when you join a vc, and spent countless nights having them ask about you if you’re not around. they don’t do that for just anyone.” he explained fondly, and george fell silent.

“what if i say something and it goes completely wrong? what if it makes things weird? i’ll ruin everything - not only for us, but for the whole group. sapnap, karl, quackity. we share all of the same friends. i don’t want to jeopardize that for some silly little unrequited crush.” before he knew it, george had spilled all of his insecurities.

though dream was his best friend, and he trusted him with his life, george was never one to open up to many. it was never a trust thing, and it wasn’t a personal thing. it was a preference of sorts, to keep to himself. however, george’s feelings for you weren’t fading away, and day after day of being told to act on those feelings had him completely overwhelmed.

it was almost therapeutic, finally allowing his feelings out, even if he was only sharing them with one person.

“george, you know y/n. i don’t think you could mess things up with them even if you tried.” dream muttered, amused. george smiled fondly at this, his mind drifting back to the idea of you.

“you really think i should tell them?” george asked, his voice falling to a much softer tone.

“i think you should do whatever you think is best.” dream assured, confidently. he paused, sighing. “but i can’t stop karl and quackity from teasing you endlessly about it.” dream chuckled, and george joined in, content.

“thanks, dream. i’m gonna head off and think about it, goodnight.” he bid his friend goodbye, and hung up. leaning back in his gaming chair, he ran a hand through his hair, huffing.

you rolled around the bed, desperately attempting to get comfortable to no avail. your thoughts were running free, one particular topic in mind. after twenty minutes of failing to fall asleep, you gave up, reaching for your phone. you squinted, quickly turning down the brightness and hitting the imessage app.

you typed a quick ‘you free?’ text to your best friend, receiving an answer almost instantly. sighing in relief, you quickly hit the facetime button, waiting for a single ring before his face illuminated the screen with a bright smile.

“hey, y/n! what’s up?” karl asked, and you smiled, shrugging.

“couldn’t sleep.” you mumbled, tiredly. karl frowned slightly, glancing around your dark room.

“everything okay?” he asked, and you smiled reassuringly, nodding your head. he visibly relaxed, his bright smile returning once more.

“just wanted to talk to you.” you whispered, and he nodded, sensing something was on your mind. you sighed, biting your lip nervously as you looked away, unable to look him in the eyes. “i can’t stop thinking about him.” you admitted quietly, and karl lit up, cheering loudly.

“you guys are seriously the cutest couple.” karl awwed, and you rolled your eyes, adjusting yourself more comfortable to stare at the small device in your hand.

“we’re not a couple, karl. he doesn’t see me that way.” you mumbled, sadly. karl’s expression changed into one of sympathy, and something you didn’t register.

“c’mon y/n, he does. he’s just george, you know he’s not great with expressing himself.” he told you, softly. you frowned, shaking your head slowly.

“he hasn’t expressed anything, at all. not even a slight indication he has feelings for me.” you deadpanned, and karl sighed, smiling kindly.

“if only you could hear the way he talks about you, y/n. you know i wouldn’t tell you he feels that way about you if i wasn’t sure.” he told you, genuinely. you shrugged, but you knew he had a point. karl had a habit of telling it like it is, not wanting to get your hopes up only for things to go poorly.

you took a deep breath, nodding to yourself. “thanks, karl. i’m gonna sleep on it, but i’m glad we had this talk.” you two exchanged goodbyes, before you hung up and flopped back on your pillow.

the next morning, you groaned as you woke, reaching for your phone immediately. you had a discord message from george, which shot you awake in a matter of seconds. you smiled brightly upon opening the notification, but frowned when you saw the message.

‘we need to talk, call me when you get a chance.’

your heart began to race, nerves flooding your body as you shakily made your way to your desk setup, turning on your monitor and pulling up discord. you sent him a quick ‘ready when you are!’ message, and shortly after the familiar ringing came through your headphones.

“hey.” he greeted, his voice monotone. it really didn’t help the sinking feeling in your chest.

“hey.” you replied, quietly. george sighed, loud enough that his mic picked it up. you took a deep breath, trying to calm yourself down. “is everything alright, george? you really freaked me out, waking up to that ominous message.” you chuckled nervously.

“sorry, i didn’t mean to scare you. it’s nothing bad, at least, i hope not.” his voice grew quieter at the end, and you visibly relaxed, glad he was alright.

“well, what is it then?” you asked, curiously. you heard some shuffling around, before george’s camera was turned on. your breath hitched a little at his slightly unshaven face, his hair messy and unkempt. you couldn’t believe how cute he looked at this moment.

“i.. i need to tell you something. i’ve been meaning to for awhile, but i’m not..” he paused, taking a deep breath. you awaited with baited breath, having an idea of where this was going. “i’m not good with my feelings, but-” he stumbled over his words, and let out a frustrated sigh.

you smiled fondly. “you’re so cute.” you mumbled, and george tensed.

“what?” he squeaked, completely thrown off guard by your compliment. you laughed then, and he chuckled nervously alongside you.

“i said,” you emphasized, teasingly. “you’re so cute.” you turned on your camera finally as well, allowing the beautiful boy in front of you to see your bright smile. “i have feelings for you too, dumbass.” you added, upon seeing his awestruck expression.

he shook himself from his thoughts, a smile creeping up on his lips at your admittance. “that’s such a relief. i don’t know what i would’ve done if you’d rejected me.” he breathed, and you laughed once more.

“you really thought i was going to reject you? you really are blind, then.” you scoffed, and george pouted.

“i don’t know!” he defended, “maybe!”

you rolled your eyes playfully. “the only reason i might’ve rejected you is because now i have to tell karl he was right and hear him go on about it for the next few months.” you whined, and george giggled, agreeing.

“you know they’ll never stop teasing us about this, right?” he asked after a moment, and you thought about it for a minute, before nodding.

“i mean, it’s not like they haven’t been teasing us about it anyways.” you shrugged, and george laughed. “i’m gonna go get ready for the day, i’ll call you later so we can actually plan that lore stream we talked about?” you asked, and george rubbed the back of his neck, sheepishly.

“yeah, about that.. i didn’t actually have a lore stream to plan. i just wanted an excuse to talk to you.” he mumbled, embarrassed. you giggled.

“you’re so cute.” you replied, and you watched as he opened his mouth to argue, but you cut him off once more. “talk to ya later, gogy!” and with that, you hung up.

the two of you sat there for a moment after the call ended, smiling brightly. picking up your phone, you texted karl, mentioning you had ‘big news’, george sending something similar to sapnap and dream.

oh, how you two couldn’t wait to see the looks on their faces.

the prologue [a tale as old as time]

cast away from society, long since forgotten and cursed to a land as frozen over as his heart.

the only indication of the man he was once laid upon a large tapestry he’d long since torn to shreds, it’s remains scattered in a room he occasionally ventures, just to be reminded of the pain and suffering he’s endured.

the consequences for a shallow man fueled by the adoration of his people, the very people he thought of as nothing more than the dirt under his boot.

he spent his days reading, as the grand library was one of the few rooms still intact after the curse spread across his once lively kingdom. other times he spent in the greenhouse, where the only thing that he could maintain and cultivate were measly potatoes.

the rest of his time was spent brooding, or reflecting on his past life. sometimes, if he tried hard enough, he could remember the intricate details that lined the corridors he’d carelessly pass by on his daily endeavors. the small roses that could be found engraved into the pristine wooden frames.

oh how ironic he found it that they had been roses, as it was the very petals of a rose counting down his last chances at redemption.

he wondered if he could go back, if he would have done things differently. the man he once was was cruel, selfish. would he even believe himself had he been given the chance?

alas, the only way to come back from the beast he’d become was to have someone fall in love with the man underneath the snout and tusks. sadly, it was a lost cause.

for who could ever fall in love with a beast?
