I Could Use A Distraction Rn :(

i could use a distraction rn :(

my asks are open, if someone wants to interact...

you can ask me random questions about the show, send a prompt... literally, anything.

i just want a distraction.

Hyde: I suppose I owe you an explanation.

Jackie: No need. This is my curse. Everybody falls in love with me. They can't have me and it drives them to do crazy things, like date women who look like me after being hit by a typhoon.

Same! I have been trying to distract myself all weekend by listening to Taylor swift and have decided Renegade gives me some serious Jackie and Hyde vibes, especially season 7ish. (especially 'is it insensitive for me to say "get your s**t together, so I can love you"') I know there have been some folklore fics and such, I guess most Aaron Dessner songs fit them, lol.

Side note, I remember your post a couple weeks ago about Jackie being a polygot. If you feel like a ficlet that might be interesting? Especially with Red and/or Eric and Russian. I'm kinda new to this fandom but I've been really appreciating the dedication you and some of the other writers have! You've made a stressful week much better =) Hope you're well! Cheers!

renegade also gives me major burkhyde vibes, taylor is the biggest zennie ever! ;) gotta love her 💖 i don't really know many aaron dessner songs, but i'll make sure to check them out...

[I'm kinda new to this fandom but I've been really appreciating the dedication you and some of the other writers have! You've made a stressful week much better] well, first of all, welcome to the fandom! i hope you're having a good time here. and thank you for supporting my blog, you have no idea how much it means to me 💖 and i'm glad i made your week better. hope you're okay, hun!

i love your prompt. i love when jackie proves people wrong by showing off how smart she is! (and mila kunis speaking russian is the sexiest thing ever. god, she's so 🔥)

so, here it is. i hope you enjoy it! and i'm sorry it took so long...

"Guys, you will never believe what happened!" Kelso exclaimed, entering the basement followed close by Eric and Fez.

"Did you fall off the water tower again, Michael? 'Cause that's not funny anymore, we already know it won't harm you..." Jackie said, uninterested.

Donna was chilling on the couch, watching the amusing scene develop in front of her. Jackie was sitting on Hyde's lap, while he smirked at his girlfriend's surprisingly good burn.

"Ah, burn!" Fez yelled, cheerfully.

"Well, damn Jackie, that's mean!" Kelso shouted. "But it's a nice burn, I gotta admit."

Eric sighed, annoyed that his friends could so easily forget why they were so excited in the first place.

"Guys, hear me out. This is gonna change our lives!"

"Then get to the point, Forman." Hyde retorted, tightening his hold on Jackie's waist.

"Okay, devil's minion. Hear me out." Eric began, glad that Hyde did not react to the nickname. "Fez, Kelso, and I were hanging out at the basement, like we usually do. We had just had a circle with Hyde, but since he decided that Jackie was a better snack than a burger, we went to The Hub without him..."

"Watch it, I can break you in half..." Jackie muttered, interrupting Eric.

"Listen to me! We had the tape recorder with us, and we were having burgers, and fries, and milkshakes. Post-circle stuff..."

"Eric, sweetie..." Donna started, "get to the point!"

"Okay, my honey bun." He took a deep breath. "We accidentally recorded a Russian secret transmission."

The geek closed his eyes, waiting for his friends and girlfriend's reaction, but only received silence. They were exchanging looks, as if something was wrong with him.

"I'm serious!"

"Okay, Eric. Let's say you are serious..." Donna said, trying to keep herself from laughing.

"I am!"

The three of them still showed no real interest, so he made a decision.

"You know what? I'm gonna show this to someone who will care. Let's go..." He gestured so Kelso and Fez would follow him.

"I guess that's good day." Fez sighed, following his friends upstairs.

"But Fez–", Hyde said.

"I said good day!"

[...]

"You guys do know he's gonna show that to Mr. Forman, so this gotta be good..." Jackie informed, pretending to inspect her nails.

"Yep..." Hyde mumbled.

"Let's just go." Donna stated, standing up.

[...]

"And that's how we accidentally recorded a Russian secret transmission..." The trio, who had just came up from the basement, heard their geek friend say.

"Alright, son." Red Forman began, eyeing his son and his dumbasses friends. "We're gonna stop those SOBs. Play it again."

He played again. It couldn't be longer than a minute and, by the time it was over, they all turned to look at the giggling brunette who was holding her boyfriend's arms to keep herself from falling.

"What's so funny?" Mr. Forman asked.

"Oh, Mr. Forman..." Jackie said, taking deep breaths to control her laughter. "Your son is so funny..."

It took her a couple minutes to stop laughing. When she did, she looked at Eric and said:

"Oh, Eric. This is Scarlett O'Hara saying she'll never be hungry again in Russian. It's just voice acting."

His face flushed and he glanced at his father, regretting the decision to go to The Hub in the first place.

"Oh, yeah, how would you know that?" Even he could admit that sounded stupid.

"Well, not only can I speak Russian, but you can hear the soundtrack on the background, for God's sake!"

Everybody stood there, in awe. Jackie, their materialistic –slightly dumb– friend was bilingual.

"Oh, don't look so surprised. I can speak Spanish and French too." She told them, dismissively.

Bilingual? Scratch that, a polyglot.

Every single one of them was surprised. Except Hyde.

"Wait, you knew about this?" Eric asked his best friend.

"Sure, man."

"Well, since there are no commies trying to harm my country, I'm outta here. If any of you ever disturbs me during my game again, my foot is gonna teach your ass to speak Russian."

[...]

"How come I didn't know about this? We dated for two years, and we used to do it all the time!" Kelso asked.

They were back at the basement again. Eric and Donna sharing the couch, Fez sitting on the lawn chair and Jackie on Hyde's lap, while Kelso paced behind the couch.

"It's simple... you never asked." Jackie answered, her boyfriend's grip on her tightening. "All you ever cared about was sex."

"Because that's the good part, Jackie!"

That's it, Hyde had enough. He signaled to Jackie stand up and frogged Kelso.

"Damn, Hyde! There's no need for violence."

"Shut up, Kelso."

"Man, this is so cool! You're a polyglot, do you even know how empowering that is?" Donna asked, genuinely impressed.

"You'll never stop bothering me about this, will you?" The brunette inquired.

"Hell, no!"

[...]

thank you for your question, i hope you liked it! 💖

(sorry if there's any grammar mistakes.)

Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction using characters from That '70s Show, which is created by Bonnie and Terry Turner and Mark Brazill. I own nothing, except for my original character, Amy Hamilton.

Warning: I'm not fluent in English and this is one of the ways I found to learn on my own. So if you find any mistakes, please let me know :)

TW: Mentions of military dictatorship and political views. Based on facts.

Notes: If you have the chance to get the vaccine, please don't waste it. If you don't, please take care and stay at home if you're able.

Amy's political views will be frequently mentioned during the story. If you're not into politics, or if it makes you uncomfortable, or if you don't agree with her political views and feel the need to make a rude comment, I kindly suggest you to not read this.

And last, but not least: I hate you, Bolsonaro. Fuck you. I hope you die of a nasty, slow, and painful disease. :)

*during a phone call*

Jackie: Why didn't you come to the basement today?

Amy: Elis made a mess in my living room, I literally just finished cleaning her shit.

Jackie: Ew.

Amy: I know... but why didn't you tell me the president is coming to town?

Jackie: 'Cause you hate him?

Amy: Fair enough. But still.

Jackie: Amy, I'm serious. The secret service will be there, don't do anything stupid.

Amy: Oh please, Jackie. When have I ever done something stupid?

Jackie: You'd do almost anything to yell at the president. Especially if it's about your country.

Amy: Well, can you blame me? The US government supported financially the military dictatorship in my country. God knows what they would've done if that hadn't worked.

Jackie: Okay, I don't understand what you're saying. Just promise me you won't get yourself in trouble, please.

Amy: Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.

[...]

*school*

Principal: Now, as you all know President Ford will be visiting our fair city and I know there are some of you out there that might be planning some sort of quote-unquote social statement type protest...

Amy: I can't believe he interrupted cheer practice to give us a lecture...

Jackie: Yeah... ew! Those freshman creeps are staring at us.

[Amy glares at them until they stop]

Jackie: How do you do that?

Amy: I'll tell you later.

Principal: So let me tell you another thing Mr. or Mrs. Punk, protesting accomplishes nothing!

Amy: Bullshit!

Principal: Oh, sure, you might see a chance to prove your manhood or show you're cool...

Jackie: Amy, what are you planning?

Principal: But this is our President... our President, darn it! So no shenanigans, you hear me?

Amy: I'm not planning anything, believe me.

Principal: If that's your kind of attitude, you might just as well go home right now!

Jackie: Oh, you are planning something, and I will find out!

[...]

*basement*

Fez: If you hate the fuzz on your ass, then why don't you shave it off?

Amy, who just came into the basement: Who's gonna get their ass shaved, and why are you guys talking about that?

Fez: Hyde hates the fuzz on his ass.

Amy, giggling: Oh, okay. [to Hyde] You should apply some oil first, you'll be smooth like a newborn.

Hyde: That's not what we were talking about.

Amy: Then what was it?

Kelso: We're streaking!

Amy, suddenly interested: Like a... protest?

Kelso: Yeah! Say, Amy, you wanna join us?

Amy: Back off, asshole. [proceeds to take a seat on the couch] Why are you protesting?

Hyde: Against the corrupt electoral system.

Fez: Because people won't be chasing us with torches and pointy sticks.

Kelso: So I can run buck naked through a sea of people!

Eric: I'm pro-nudity.

Amy: Are you doing this too, Donna?

Donna: Hell no.

Amy: So, Hyde's got a solid purpose, Eric is a dumbass, Kelso is a sick perverted and Fez... [looks at him] That was awfully specific... are you okay?

Fez, tearing up: Well, you were the first person who asked me this today. But, yes, I am okay.

Amy: If you say so.

Eric: Amy, it's not that I don't like you or anything...

Amy: I know you don't like me, you don't have to pretend you do.

Eric: Why are you here without your "in" to the group?

Amy: I'm hiding from Jackie, and since she knows I wouldn't come here without her, she won't look for me here.

Donna: Why are you hiding from her?

Amy: I can't lie to Jackie, but if I tell her the truth she's not gonna let me do it.

Donna: Do what?

Amy, obviously lying: Nothing.

Donna: We already know you're lying.

Amy: But you don't know the truth and you're not gonna make me say it, I could tell you another lie and you wouldn't know.

Kelso: I don't understand.

Amy: I didn't think you would. But, anyways, Jackie knows me really well, she'd take the truth out of me.

[...]

*fantasy sequence, interrogation room*

Jackie: I know you're lying, so just tell me the truth!

Amy: Fine! I confess I'm planning something!

[...]

*back to the basement*

Amy: The point is that I'm gonna stay here until I'm sure she'll be back at her house. Then tomorrow, I'll just avoid her at school... So, what was that shaving talk about?

Fez: Hyde hates the fuzz on his ass.

Donna, Eric, Hyde, and Kelso: *groaning*

[...]

*the next day, at the electoral commission*

Kelso: You are so lucky I'm naked, pal!

Jackie: Amy, don't think I can't see you trying to sneak in!

Amy: Well, hello to you too Jackie.

Jackie: What are you wearing?

Amy, gesturing to her clothes: This is my outfit for today, and if you don't like it, you could leave...

Jackie: Why are dressed like a communist?

Amy: What do you mean? Just because I'm wearing a red shirt and a barret with a red star in it, does not mean I'm dressed like a communist. I always wear red clothes, Jackie! That's actually kinda stereotypical, we should...

Jackie: Quit the rambling! Do you want the secret service to call Immigration? Do you wanna get deported? You promised me you wouldn't get in trouble, Amy!

Amy: Technically, I did not promise you anything. I said, "don't worry about me, I'll be fine". [she stops when she notices that Jackie is crying] Don't cry, Jackie. I'm not gonna do anything stupid, like your boyfriend and his friends. I just want to express my frustration and try to spread awareness and, perhaps, help my homeland. Please, try to understand me.

Jackie: And I just want my best friend to stay safe and away from jail. Please, try to understand me.

Amy, now also crying: Do you trust me?

Jackie: Yes.

Amy: I'll be fine.

Jackie: Okay.

[...]

Mr. Forman: Hey, Jerry. Here's my question, how the hell could you pardon Nixon?

[...]

Jackie, clearly upset: What are you going to do? They'll be leaving soon...

Amy: I'm not gonna do anything, I'm a coward.

Jackie: How can you say that, Ames? You're not a coward!

Amy: Yes, I am! I had the chance to finally do something that could help my country, and I chickened out...

Jackie: You got scared, Amy! They could deport you.

Amy, crying: Even Eric did something!

Jackie: Don't remind me, I'll have nightmares about this... The thing is that you're smart, and you have me as your best friend, and you're hot because I only hang out with hot people. And even though you talk a lot about politics, you're really good company. You'll have another chance to make a huge protest and start a revolution, or something like that.

Amy, sniffing: Thanks, Jackie... Hey, you wanna sleepover tonight?

Jackie: Will that make you feel better?

Amy, nodding: Yes, we could do face masks and take turns on what we talk about, make-up or politics.

Jackie, huffing: Okay... you're lucky you're my best friend!

Amy, hugging her friend: I know.

[...]

*Amy's room*

Jackie, painting her nails pink: Your mom is so nice, is she really gonna bake a cake for tomorrow's breakfast just because I'm here?

Amy, painting her nails red: Yep, I hope you like corn cake, that is the only recipe she knows.

Jackie: It sounds good.

Amy: Believe me, it is! But if you don't like it, we can make a carrot cake with chocolate again... [winks]

Jackie: I love you!

Amy: I love you too!
