one of zazzalil's many skills: accidentally going viral on twitter

Summary:

BuzzFeed @BuzzFeed
Netflix announces new comedy special is coming, featuring rising star Schwoopsie, who has promised “A return of that oblivious lesbian couple”, to the delight of fans

replying to @zazzzyyy
listen i’m not the one with the name Jemilla's wife you did this to yourself

set in the same universe as my first ever fic on this site :)

Notes:

i started writing this for nostalgia reasons when i was having a big sad moment (TM) then when it was over i went back and wrote a ton more so i figured i could post it.

disclaimer that i'm by no means an avid twitter user and these usernames were entirely made up based on what i thought fit the character. they were based only on the characters and not any actual twitter users, and any resemblance is purely accidental. if there is a similarity to a username i've used here to a twitter account you own that you want changed i have no problem changing it, just ask me :)

Notes:

the link, if it works (i know it's not live, idk how to do that on here if it's possible at all) is 100% NOT an actual rickroll and you definitely SHOULD NOT copy and paste it WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T DO IT IT'S NOT A RICKROLL

in other non-rickroll related info: updates will not be steady. this won't have like a big plot this is mostly just silly little stuff for fun. this could stretch on for five years or it could go for a week. we'll see where it goes. i do have a little more written though as i'm writing this so there will be at LEAST one more chapter. who knows. i certainly don't.

lastly feel free to comment any ideas or requests of things you want to see i can't promise i'll write it but i'll give it a shot

Chapter 2: new challenge: embarrass zazzalil with a thread

Summary:

Jemilla's Wife @zazzzyyy

schwoopsie: ouch

keeri: don’t act like you haven’t gotten sketch ideas from them

schwoopsie: ........ fair point

Chapter Text

the tribe is alive and kickin
3:25 pm

tiblyn: lmao remember when we were tiny and like. specifically those months in high school when jmils and zazz were both crushing on the other but neither would tell each other and it was just so goddamn painful

tiblyn: like yeah high school sucked ass and so did that but looking back. a highlight. hilarious. i want a netflix documentary

keeri: REMEMBER WHEN, MORE RECENTLY, JMILS AND ZAZZ BOTH BOUGHT ENGAGEMENT RINGS BUT WOULDNT PROPOSE TO EACH OTHER AND IT WAS JUST SO GODDAMN PAINFUL

tiblyn: i repeat: netflix documentary

zazzalil: still don’t get why ur all so invested in lives that aren’t ur own

keeri: y’all are the funniest ppl we know we gotta keep ourselves posted

schwoopsie: ouch

keeri: don’t act like you haven’t gotten sketch ideas from them

schwoopsie: ........ fair point

jemilla: i still can’t believe you did that

schwoopsie: i didn’t even point you guys out!!! i just said friends from high school and said the group of you were over there!! you guys were the ones who proposed to each other at the same goddamn time, making it clear you were the ‘oblivious as fuck lesbian couple’ in question

zazzalil: i have no regrets on that. how often do you get the chance to propose to your wife whilst watching stand up comedy about your relationship? best day of my life

jemilla: except for the day you married me, right?

zazzalil: ofc babe ily

jemilla: mmhmm

5:06 pm

tiblyn: okay what happened to our conversation

zazzalil: i mean jemilla and i weren’t checking our phones because we were busy not having fan-fucking-tastic sex but idk

jemilla: zazz how many times!!!

keeri: listen to your wife zazz we don’t want to hear about your sex life

zazz: says the girl who forced me to admit my crush to jemilla

keeri: different circumstances

Emberly: So Grant and I were seeing a movie we just got out so I haven’t been on my phone and as such wasn’t aware we were having a conversation. But, as my high school self said many years ago; budding romance (I was right)!!!

zazzalil: embs it wouldn’t even be budding anymore second we’re STILL NOT CALLING IT THAT

Emberly: Sshhhhh

Emberly: Blossoming romance!

sb: emberly u say you were seeing a movie with grant but. where the fuck is your kid

Emberly: My parents babysat so we could have some alone time! We’re off to pick them up now :)

tiblyn: speaking of which what is your motherly advice of the day!! we need it to spice up this dying gc

keeri: heh yeah it’ll actually be useful to at least some other ppl here soon

keeri: to not one, but TWO mothers, so bonus

keeri: jmils and zazz i want u both to know that if your child is ever stuck in a go ask ur mother loop they are free to come to me, their aunt keeri

jemilla: haha thank you keeri! i sincerely hope we never have to do that, but we appreciate nonetheless

zazzalil: fuck yea dude thanks keeri

Emberly: Well, now that we’re back in the car and have learned that the child scraped their knee while we were away, I’d say my advice for the day is to make sure they wear knee pads

zazzalil: jemilla’s writing that down in her preparation notebook

zazzalil: because yes, she has a pre-parental notebook

zazzalil: it lives in her pre-parental binder with other articles and shit she’s deemed important for impending mothers

tiblyn: only jemilla

jemilla: i want to be prepared! sue me.

schwoopsie: dear god if y’all keep this up your sequel is going to get a sequel

zazzalil: maybe we could renew our vows? gotta keep the fans on their toes

Emberly: A baby won’t be enough to do that?

zazzalil: hmm. emberly could we borrow your kid for the day to make it look like we have more kids

Emberly: Sorry but that is a hard no

zazzalil: can’t say i’m surprised.

tiblyn: must admit i’m a little sad we banned posting screenshots of this gc on twitter. this shit would SO go viral

zazzalil: don’t make me remove you from the chat again

jemilla: zazz when did you do that?

tiblyn: yeah zazz you wouldn’t do that would you

keeri: oh poor innocent jemilla you wouldn’t BELIEVE the things zazz here has done in moments of personal crisis

jemilla: do go on

zazzalil: no i actually think that’s quite enough

schwoopsie: WAIT EMBERLY

zazzalil: NO NO NO NO

schwoopsie: EMBERLY DO U REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE IN THE LIBRARY ON JEMILLA’S FIRST DAY AND ZAZZALIL JUMPED BEHIND A BOOKSHELF AND CHUGGED HER STARBUCKS

Emberly: Oh my gosh! Schwoops I had totally forgotten about that but it’s all come back to me now.

schwoopsie: the bi panic is stronger in zazz than i’ve seen it in anyone ever before

zazzalil: y’all need to make this conversation a lot quieter

schwoopsie: texting? noise? incompatible?

zazzalil: invisible, whatever

schwoopsie: watch as zazzalil’s inability to scroll causes her downfall

zazzalil: actually now that i’ve kicked you both i feel much better thank you very much

schwoopsie: hmm. then you’ll have no trouble adding us back?

jemilla: she’s been staring at her phone looking deeply troubled and i looked over just now and she was staring at your contact, finger hovering over ‘add person’ so i’d say she’s considering
