#rupert mannion
Crop preview, hmu on ao3 for the uncropped
I just,,,, really want rupert to be mean to him, i want the angst
Theres not a single gd ted x rupert fic i can find and its gonna make me end it all
spreading the nate/bex agenda to anyone i can, because it would be hilarious. rupert deserves to be cheated on. nate and bex deserve to get free from that asshole (hopefully exposing him in the process for the prick he is). and i think they’d look good together
“Makes no sense”? Believe in yourself bestie
so true
my bestie and i have gone from wishing for natebex in a “rupert gets cheated on without knowing” way to a “rupert orchestrates it all because he thinks that could make them easier to manipulate, but it backfires” way. just them being subtly pushed to interact more by rupert in a way that maybe even the audience doesn’t realise, until it becomes obvious. but then, it is real, more real than rupert could have hoped for, and it backfires (because i desperately want them to be the ones who expose rupert)
(and listen, yes, this has big “rupert as a master villain” vibes but it’s not like this will happen in canon anyway, so i can toy around with rupert! because he’s FUN to imagine doing stuff that can just be Messy without any need to justify him, because there just isn’t a justification)
genuinely can’t get over how angry ted looked when he saw rupert at rebecca’s dad’s funeral he was really like what are you doing at MY father in law’s funeral you little sewer rat
