Rue’s Voice:

They spoke every single day.
Every. Single. Fucking. Day.
About anything.
Fezco would call up Lexi to talk and she would do the same.
Laughing, smiling, sharing personal stuff.
They consoled one another.
One night Cassie didn’t come home.
Lexi felt bad that she started to not even worry about her sister.
To tell the truth, she didn’t feel like her sister anymore…
Lexi missed the old Cassie.
And Fezco was always there for her to talk to.
He would sometimes just close his eyes and lay back, listening to her voice.
He could listen to her forever.
And she would do the same.
As if they were meant to be there for each other.

————

Lexi laughed as she sat on her bed, knees up with a book faced down on her legs. Long forgotten as soon as she saw her screen light up with Fezco’s name.

“So what book was you readin’?” He asked.

Lexi actually forgot the item was still in her lap and blinked down at the book and then smiled.

“Oh! Erm…it’s just a collection of short stories from various writers.”

She looked at the cover and closed the book, putting it at the end of the bed and moved back to leaning against the headboard. 

“You really are smart you know that?”

Lexi felt her cheeks burn. He would always do this. Compliment her, and she wasn’t used to it but the feeling she got was intoxicating. 

“Fezco, I just read-“

“Nah, I remember when I first met you. And I thought, ‘damn.’ Especially when you started to come by more with Rue and hang out more. The shit you would say would just blow my mind shawty.”

Lexi smiled and bit let lip to hearing her nick-name. He started saying it a week ago and she loved it.

“You remember that?”

She heard and huffed laugh come through.

“Course I do. How can I not? Ya kno?”

————————-

Lexi thought back to that day.

Rue has asked her to hang out and of course she obliged. Rue told her they would just walk around, here and there and maybe get some food and watch a movie.

Sounded grand to Lexi.

“Can we stop by here?  Get some things for…you know later and stuff?” Rue asked and shrugged a shoulder, narrowing her eyes from the bright sun, trying to see Lexi in the daylight.

Lexi nodded and walked towards the store. “Yeah sure.”

Her eyes went to the ice cream freezer and a drinks cooler that was outside.

“Hey, you want an ice cream?” She asked.

Rue was more focused on getting inside and talking to the dude she was told about but she didn’t want to go alone and thought well if Lexi did see anything she wouldn’t say anything.

She quickly looked at Lexi and let out a, “yeah, sure, yeah.”

And went into the store.

Lexi was looking over the freezer and cooler, wondering what to get.She opened and closed the door after struggling to open it for a bit and then looked up through the window right in front of her.And there he was.

She saw Fezco talking to Rue but only saw him properly when he stood up and opened the freezer door.

She was just staring at them wondering what Rue was doing until he leaned in as if being handed something and then handed it to Rue quickly.

Fezco said something to Rue and motioned his head to Lexi as he was looking at her. She quickly looked away from his stare and walked into the store to buy the ice cream she grabbed.

She walked in with an awkward smile and lifted her hand with the ice cream.

“I grabbed us these.”

Fezco looked up and down at her and he nodded his head.

“Good choice.”

Lexi looked at him and smiled.

“Lexi this is Fezco. Fezco this is Lexi.” Rue introduced them and shifted awkwardly as if she felt a little awkward.

Little did Lexi know why at the time.

“Lexi Howard.” Lexi pushed her hand forward and then cringed at herself.

“Sorry, I don’t know why I did that.”

Fezco let out a laugh and shrugged one shoulder.

“Nah, you got manners and shit. S’all good.” He went to shake her hand but was too slow as she brought her hand up to hide her embarrassment briefly.

“Do we need anything else Rue?” She asked her friend who stood there watching them. She shook her head, hiding her smile.

Lexi walked closer to the counter to pay until Fezco lifted a hand.

“Nah, you good. My treat.” He let out.

Lexi smiled and lifted her brows.

“Oh… thank you! …you-you sure?”

He nodded and grabbed a neatly rolled joint that was hidden behind his ear that she didn’t see. “Ye.”

Was all he replied and he shyly looked away.

“Anytime you guys wonna’ drop by, feel free, kay?”

Rue smiled to this and told him she would.

Lexi just smiled and nodded her head and looked away from the glances he was giving her.

———————

“Luckily you liked those ice creams….’cause it got you to keep comin’ back.” Fez laughed.

Lexi looked at the phone in her hands. “It wasn’t the ice cream.”

She swore she heard him chuckle out “aw shit”

“Well…for Rue it was something else….” Lexi’s voice went sad at the thought of her friend. Rue’d sudden loss of her dad and turning to anything to take her away from the pain she was feeling. To feel anything other than the pain or nothing at all seemed to be her goal most of all. She just wanted to see her dad again.

And so did Lexi.

And that was probably why she didn’t tell anyone about Rue. She was also missing her dad. But her circumstance was way different to Rue’s. Her dad was gone forever, no way to get in touch, or just the thought he was still around.

Lexi’s dad disappeared, yeah he wasn’t around but the thought that he was still breathing, that she knew of, was one of comfort compared to the thought of her dad no longer even existing.

“You….you know I was always hopin’ you would come back with her to the store ya’ kno?” His voice sounded so soft and quiet.

Her stomach felt like it dropped to hearing that, but in a good way. “Really?”

“Ye. Every time Rue would show up…I….I’d be like lookin’ for you. Times when you wasn’t there, damn Lexi I’d be so hurt.” He laughed at the end which made her laugh too.

He really liked her from the first time they met.

“Remember when I tried weed?” Lexi randomly let out. The memory was burned into her brain.

She cringed thinking about it. She though why the hell not when Rue suggested it.

They headed to Fezco’s house one day, but just sat in the living room. Not seeing the rest of the house, not that she can remember that really other than waking up to Fezco and Rue laughing, calling her Bobby and saying there was a fire.

She didn’t know Rue drew a beard on her face until she got home and Cassie said, “Nice new look.”

Fez giggled down the phone.

“Yeah, I was worried about you tryin’ it. Didn’t want you to feel like you had to…”

“…..I dressed up as Bob Ross for Halloween because of that day.” She confessed.

She couldn’t tell because she obviously couldn’t see him. But Fez was grinning widely now.

He knew she did, and he saw her at the party when he arrived dressed as Tony Montana.

He saw Rue and Lexi sat on the sofa at the party and went to go over and join them until some guy grabbed his elbow and asked him for some pills.

He glanced back over to them before turning his back to make the deal, but by the time he turned around he saw Rue and Lexi both stand and make their way over to the other side of the room to another sofa, watching Rue bend down and talk to some young kid and girl sat down.

Fez thought he best just find a place to chill since he just came here to deal and relax, choosing to go sit outside near the pool with less people. He took one more glance of Lexi stood there, blue shirt, fitted jeans, that wig on her head and he smiled to himself before heading outside.

“I saw you. I wanted to come say ‘hi’ but….you guys were busy and I had some shit to deal with. But I’m sorry I didn’t get to tell you how cool your costume was Lexi.”

She was blushing again. “Thanks”

She wanted to tell him she saw him too. She spotted him in his suit, the white substance over the front of it resembling Tony from Scarface. She wanted to go up and tell him he looked great and she liked that movie too.

She wanted to tell him she liked him all those years ago.

But she was just happy they were able to reconnect and feel as if they’d been talking every day since he looked at her through the window.

it’s so hard being part of both rexi nation and fexi nation

getawaylicense:

ok so i’ve been obsessed with determining the timeline of euphoria. here’s what i have so far:

- rue was born on september 14th, 2001 (three days after 9/11)

- she’s currently 17, which means the show is taking place during the 2018-2019 school year and she is a junior (class of 2020) along with kat, jules, lexi, and elliot

- cassie is older than lexi by one year, making her a senior along with nate

- maddy’s 18th birthday just passed in late january/early february, most likely making her a senior as well

- as of 2x05, cassie and nate have been hooking up for a month, meaning eps 4&5 takes place feb 1-3 weekend (the decor from maddy’s party is still up in ep5)

-fez was initially 20-21, but i think they retconned that and aged him down to 18-19 so he could be with lexi

so basically, season 1 was fall 2018 and season 2 is winter 2019. based on the pacing of this season, i think next season will take place march-may 2019, so we won’t see any graduations until season 3

more euphoria timelining!

- rue, being born in september 2001, is most likely on the older end of the junior class

- in order to be in the same grade as rue, lexi would have to be born between august 2001 and july 2002

- jules and kat also most likely fall within these dates

- maddy’s birthday is all but confirmed to be january 31, 2001, making her 18 and a senior

- cassie is 433 days older than lexi (about 1 year and 2 months)

- for them to be one grade apart, the earliest lexi can be born is october 2001 (if cassie is born august 2000)

- not canon, but my personal theory is that cassie is march 2001 and lexi is may 2002

- fezco is most likely born in 1999 or 2000

Everything seemed too normal, no drama, no issues. Fezco was not used to everything being calm. Part of him was thinking it all was a calm before a storm or maybe in faith God really did send something good in his life, something stable. 

Neither you or Fez knew how you found you ways back to each other, or how you ended up in a relationship sneaking around Ash and locals. After that meeting it was like faith was playing tricks on you as you seemed to run into him every chance outside of the school.

First time was when you where on your jog before work, early hours in the morning. Fez was receiving a delivery at the store. You literally knocked the breath as you ran right into his chest. 

“Sorry ma” Fezco said confused not expecting anyone to be up this early. He thought he almost forgot how to breath when he saw you in bike shorts and a sports bra, and a glow from the sweat over your body. 

“Fezco?” You asked smiling up at him.

“Miss (y/l/n)” He said smirking down at his younger brothers teacher. 

“It’s (y/n), kinda weird calling me miss (y/l/n), we’re probably the same age.” You said chucking at the man in front of you. 

“(y/n), I like that.” He said making butterflies erupt in you stomach. You haven’t felt like this in a really long time. 

The next time you ran into him was the following week when you where meeting a few other teachers but you where a little too early. Fez found you sitting at the bar alone with a drink. He took a double take not recognizing you at first. 

“O’ Miss (y/l/n).” Fez said leaning on the bar as he came up next to you. 

“Oh shit, You scared me.” You said looking at him with big eyes like a deer caught in headlights. 

Some how that night you ended up ditching the other teachers to drink with Fez at the bar. And thats how you found yourself having to sneak out his place without Ash seeing you. 

It has been two months of late nigh dates and early morning sneak outs. You preferred Fezco to spend the night at your place but he couldn’t always with Ash and his grandma, and you understood the responsibility he held on his plate. 

Ash was slowly starting to put the pieces together thought he had no evidence of what was going on with his older brother. He knew Fez had a girl in his life that he wasn’t telling him about and that’s what Ash was trying to figure it out. they never kept anything form each other, their brothers, and business partners. 

There where a few things that gave away Fez’s new endeavors. Ash noticed how much more his brother seemed to be smile, and checking his phone. It was weird, it seemed like he was in a good mood like all the time. There where a couple of nights he wouldn’t come home either. 

Soon Ash started to piece together all the pieces. He was his room trying to sleep it was closer to 3 am. He finally heard Fez come home but he heard more foot steps with him and sight giggling. And he knew for a fact his brother wasn’t the one giggling. Ash tried to get a peak but it was dark and Fez already was in his room with his female friend. Ash could only hear some muffled whispered. But she sounded familiar for some reason. 

It wasn’t till a week later when Ash figured it all out. He walked into math class finding his seat in the back. You where at you desk giggling as you where on your phone. His eyes felt like they where going to pop right out when you stood up starting the lesson as everyone finally got into the class. 

You had on a dark green sweater, that was very much too big for you as you tried to have it tucked into the front of your gray work slacks and sleeves rolled up. That was Fezco sweater. 

Later that day Ash stormed into the store to find Fez sitting on the counter talking on the phone. 

“Tell me how your bitch ass has been messin’ with miss (y/l/n)?” Ash yelled throwing his book bag at his bother. 

“Hey ma, ‘ll call you back later.” Fez said before hanging up and looking at the his fuming brother. 

“What you talkin bout?” Fez asked trying to give away too much. 

“You fuckin miss (y/l/n)?” ash asked one more time fully knowing it was true. 

“Yeah kinda” He said honestly. He never lied to Ash and it wasn’t that he was trying keep this from him. He just wanted to know this was more serious before telling him. 

“What you mean kinda? It’s yes or no!” Ash said getting angrier but he didn’t even know why this was bothering him. 

“It ain’t just fuckin, I like her” Fez said feeling his cheeks heat up and the thought of you. He didn’t think he’d ever fall for someone so hard and so fast. 

“Yo better not fuck it up or make it weird, she’s the only teacher I like.” Ash said giving Fez a glare which only made him chuckle. It all started to make sense to him now. 

“I ain’t tell you till I knew it was somthin” Fezco said knowing Ash was more mad about him not telling him about this instead of the actual idea of him with his teacher. 

“whatever” Ash said making his way to grab a snack. Fez just laughed and finally feeling revealed that theres no secrets. He just wanted to know where you stand on all this now. It wasn’t like you’ve had the relationship talk yet. Fez didn’t even know how to bring it up with you. Nor did he want to mess anything up with you.

Euphoria (TV Series 2019– ) 

So I noticed this in tonight’s episode of Euphoria….

I KNOW A PAINTING REFERENCE WHEN I SEE ONE-

COINCIDENCE, I THINK NOT-

I took art class in freshman year of HS, so when I saw this reference, I flipped out. Life often imitates art I guess.

The painting is called Not To Be Reproduced.

euphoricfez:

lexi asking fez to send her voice memo’s bc she loves his voice and the voice memo’s are literally: baby ion know why you wanna listen to this shit… I uhh just made a sandwich… shit was fire. ash playin video games bein loud as fuck. aight I’m gonna stop talkin now. I love you baby Imma see you later

Episode 6, to summarize…

I guess from last weeks episode this one needed to be sort of still. But not without its tension.

It was a good filler before the last two episodes.

Jacob Elordi, we love to hate him, but he plays Nate Jacobs so, so well. There’s always that build of anxiety when he’s on screen as if he’s about to do something really terrible, even when he’s trying to do something good. He’s a brilliant actor in this series in my opinion.

Unpopular opinion, but Lexi is annoying. I know, I know. But something about her character just is annoying. Her and Fez are sort of cute, but…

In conclusion, they all do a stunning job. Can’t wait to see how this season ends.

6:53 PM, Opening Night

Lexi could feel the beams from the stage light hot against her skin. Along with her costume it brought a familiar- and oddly comforting- warmth. Tonight marked the opening performance of Twelfth Night at the high school, and Lex had the honor of playing Viola.

Outside of the theatre, Lexi was meek and shy. She never tried to make a point to stand out. There was an odd comfort in being a “social recluse”- she could people-watch. Get to know what made people act as they did. She thought back to the NYE party, and the short conversations with Fezco. No one had made conversation with her like that, and definitely not with the infatuation Fez seemed to have trying to get to know her.

“Five minutes til curtains are up!”

Snapping back to reality, Lexi prepped for her debut. She was amped up and ready to leave her heart on that stage.

“Okay this is it people, it’s fucking showtime!”, Lexi said, “Lets go!”

One thing Lexi was never expecting to see was Fez sitting amongst the crowd. When they made eye contact, he gave her that same smirk he gave her at the NYE party. She was sidelined but far from disappointed. It was like a free adrenaline rush seeing him there.

7:30 PM, Intermission

“You showed up?”

“Why not? You asked me to-“, he gave her that smile that made her feel like she was the only one in the room, “Plus, you really are a star when you’re up on that stage.”

Nothing could hide the rosy blush on her cheeks. He really did like her- without expecting anything in return.

“I kind of mentioned it as a one off and didn’t expect you to actually come.”

“I wanted to see what my Lex was all about. You really leave your heart on that stage y’know.”

i will LICHERALLY cry if fez goes to one of lexi’s theatre performances

endgxme:

im actually trembling, shaking, HYPERVENTILATING, thinking about a fexi hug. it would be perfect. they would be perfect. fez’s hands around her waist, lexi’s arms around his neck. fez’s face buried inbetween her neck and shoulders, lexi’s hands resting on the back of his head.

don’t talk to me I’m unstable

istg i no longer have life i breathe and see and hear fexi

imacoolskeleton:

If I’m not getting full fexi in the next episode I will not be responsible for my actions

Couches whenever Fez and Lexi are nearby

Lexi is living the dream

I relate to her on a spiritual level: always in the shadows, been the only one with nothing going on romantically when left and right people are always experiencing love and talking about sex and whatnot. She’s not a wild like everybody else, but at least in comparison with them, she feels real, because her struggles are real. She can be awkward, introverted, she can talk too much and say stupid things or never says the right thing. She thinks too much about what happened over the day and wallows in regret for the things she could’ve done differently. She fantasizes about a different life where people would listen to her and understand her. She longs for something everyone else seems to have, but she is out of reach for her, whatever that might be.

Enter Fez.

The bad boy with a golden heart, the only one that can truly see her. She is different, out of his league, his world, and he knows it. I’m already talking as if they’ve been in love for 10 seasons, but I feel like their chemistry is off the charts. They can be good to each other in a forbidden, frowned upon sort of romance. He’ll show her the ways of love and be her first boyfriend. Never pressuring her into anything, worring about her and treating her right. And she’d see the good in him, maybe try to “fix” him.

I think every good girl that rarely ever got male attention (and honestly I don’t even know is sexual orientation matters, cause, well… patriarchy :)))) dreamed of this kind of boy. The boy people would whisper about and wonder what the hell he sees in her and viceversa. I still dream of bringing such a guy to my highschool reunion as if I have something to prove.

If this ship ever sails, it will be like a win for girls like us, like Lexi. But I still think it’s a beautiful fantasy, an impossible scenario nonetheless, because the bad boy with the golden heart and the good girl That Can Be And Do More never meet and fall in love.

Thanks for listening to this.
