I know it's true, I just don't believe it. And don't look at me like I'm being obtuse.

This post is just me coming to terms with the fact that I'll have no Jon or Stephen this week. By having silly silly fic ideas.  So, um, if you're not into the fakenews thang, feel free to ignore it.

...

...

I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THEY HAVE HOLIDAYS. I'm selfish, yes. This is evident. I acknowledge it, and do not change my stance in any way. But now to the silly idea. Which is this:

• I/We/You/Someone works out a set of rules Jon has for dealing with "Stephen". Say, 10 or 15 of them. Along the line of "when trying to work out if he is angry, ignore the content of his words and pay attention to the volume of his voice and as a last resort check his eyebrows..." but, like, better and funnier.
• Then anyone who wants to  can take them and, like, write little drabbles for each one using whichever characters you want (but, y'know, "Stephen" will probably make an appearance, obviously...)
• So it could be Jon/"Stephen" stuff, or examples of when people who don't know the rules interact with Stephen (Andy guesting? Bill O being a hurtful dick?) or maybe someone like Rob Corddry or Ollie is hosting cos Jon is sick and they're trying to stick to the rules and failing awesomely or... THE POSSIBILITIES. THEY ARE ENDLESS.
• And then we can all post/share/compare the drabbles and it will be made of sunshine and rainbows

Is this a stupid idea?

Um.

Probably.

*hides*

Looooove the idea:D - I just can't write. But I'll be happy to read! :D

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Awesome. got any list ideas? Fave "Stephen" psycho moments?

[sarcasticsra]

Ooooh, I like this idea a lot. RUN WITH IT.

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) Got any ideas to help a girl out in her list-constructing endeavours?

[shoebox_addict]

Here from the Faknews open thread - I really, really like this idea!! Go with it! :D

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Got any rule ideas? Favourite "Stephen" neuroses?

[shoebox_addict]

Hmm. I'm always partial to his "fear" of "the gay." Lolz. And the whole Sweetness thing, also.

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Of course, we must include the baby carrots! Haha... "at some point he will ask you to talk to his gun. Smile, nod, and just do it."

Awesome.

[shoebox_addict]

Yes! Baby carrots!! Oh...I really like that rule about Sweetness. XP

Oh - your icon! <3333

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) your icon is adorable too.

[infraredphaeton.livejournal.com]

oh, that's awesome. I've got this image of John O (who is hosting) finding a piece of notebook paper taped to the underside of the host's desk with the rules written on it and then desperately trying to remember during the toss and FAILING, leading to Stephen tantrums.
It's a totally cool idea, dude. Do it.
DOOO ITT.

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Flustered Ollie is too awesome.

Got any ideas for the rules to help a girl out?

[infraredphaeton.livejournal.com]

Rule number 27: Ignore all statement over 300 decibels. It's when he gets quiet you should start to worry.

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Perfect.

[infraredphaeton.livejournal.com]

Rule 13: Don't make fun of/ruffle his hair unless you are willing to deal with the consequences.

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Yes! Possibly with a sub-clause added instructing to under no circumstances mention the buzzcut?

[infraredphaeton.livejournal.com]

Of course.
Like so:
Rule 13 subsection (i) Do not mention the buzzcut
subsection (ii) Do not bring up the amount of hairspray used to create his hair style, either.

Rule 14: Do not acknowledge any claims that Democracy killed the dinosaurs.

Rule 14: Do not acknowledge any claims that Democracy killed the dinosaurs.

I love you so hard :)

[infraredphaeton.livejournal.com]

aw...thanks. :)
I love you equally hard.
(I have more, equally silly rules, if you're interested.)
Any idea how long this list will end up being?

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes please! Um... I was thinking of keeping the list to say, 10 or 15 rules. Then people can write a little drabble for each without too much trouble.

[shoebox_addict]

Can I just say that this idea needs to be seen through to a fic? What a great idea!

And your icon needs to be snuggled. XP

[erinptah]

I am all for this idea :D

Rules, rules...hmmm. "#4: Any time he begins a sentence with 'Hypothetically...', drop everything and run." "#11: Do not, under any circumstances, make any suggestion that involves fire." "#7: When Sweetness is 'talking', smile and nod."

"#1: Do not get so absorbed looking at his eyes that you stop nodding at appropriate moments."

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Awesome, awesome, awesome! What about... things he's scared of? Apart for teh bears, of course.

Ohhh...what about "he may occasionally need to be reminded that he is not in fact black."

[erinptah]

On a serious note: Being alone. On a silly one: Robots? Zombies? Socialism?

Haha, that's a good one :D

[greenpixiehair.livejournal.com]

Ah, brilliant. Something about how he lashes out when scared, so sometimes he needs to be assured there aren't any bears, zombies, Socialists or Socialist zombie bears around. And, failing that, make sure he knows he isn't alone.

Or something.
