summary: the multiple times you were caught having an interaction a little more than friendly with paige.

paige bueckers x fem!reader

(582)

notes: not proof read sorryyyy. also sorry for disappearing for the past three days i was preoccupied. anyway i actually like this i hope im not wrong. i keep watching this one caitlin clark edit someone save me she is so fine. - kate

1.

you had been known to the fans of UConn women's basketball, usually hanging out with the girls. you had met them through azzi, the both of you majoring in communications, and eventually, you had been indoctrinated into the team. you had grown close to many of the girls, befriending everyone. and maybe even going on a few dates with a special girl you had the privilege of meeting.

that being said, it wasn't common for you to be seen in tiktoks or lives. that's why fans went borderline insane when they saw you leaning your head on paige's shoulder in the background of one of ice's lives.

rumors of you being in a relationship were swarming the internet, fans trying to find even more "proof" of you together. they had been right, you were dating, but no one else needed to know that.

that's why you posted a video on paige's tiktok making a disclaimer that you guys were "just friends." however, the fans had gotten a taste of you two together, and weren't about to stop the edits or comments.

2. 

being a secret girlfriend to UConn's star player wasn't easy, you needed to go to all of the games to make paige happy, but you also couldn't be too public about your relationship.

you had thought you were doing a pretty good job, you sat directly across from the home bench and cheered when acceptable. you had been recognized more and more often now as you had officially posted with the team and were with them almost all the time.

your phone was blowing up with follow requests and tagging notifications, and your newfound fans wanting to get to know you outside of the girls. checking through notifications one day, you saw you had been tagged an abundant amount of times on one post.

clicking on the video, it starts to play a lovey-dovey edit audio as you watch clips of you a paige at the games. her pointing to you in the stands, you cheering as she shoots a three, and her hugging you after a game were all clips included in the edit. 

needless to say, that was not the last of those edits.

3. 

you and paige had been going on date nights frequently throughout your almost year-long relationship. along the way you guys had gained a bit of a following on social media, being spotted almost everywhere it was difficult to just be a couple in public.

you and paige had finally had a good amount of time where the both of you were open and could do anything, deciding you would go to a nice little restaurant near by your shared apartment.

you had been laughing about some funny story paige had been telling about her day when a fan came up to your table. "wait, oh my gosh, no way, ohmygosh, you're paige bueckers! and you're her girlfriend!" you had gotten flustered at the correct assumption, not wanting to deny it but knowing you would have to denounce it to protect paige's future.

"oh um," you were cut off by paige grabbing your hand, giving you a look before turning to the girl. "that's me, do you want a picture? i have some time."

you smile as you watch her pose for the photo, what you hadn't realized was that you were visible in the background admiring her like she was the sun.

the fans had a field day with that single photo.

[sillygh0st]

What I always wanted to say but i was too scared to say it its that >I< think that people are getting to be kinda parasocial with the ex-admins at the same way that people are with CCs. I dont know how to explain 100% and my english is bad but I think that:

Acting like ex/current admins are saints, that they NEVER make mistakes and are ALWAYS saints with NO mistakes is bad at the same level as saying/acting like CCs are 100% saints TOO.

please DONT get me wrong, but acting like all/some of the ex-admins/current admins dont do mistakes bc they are "ALWAYS right" and not realizing that they are also human and that they can VERY well make mistakes is also just as wrong as doing the same to a CC.

This is not a direct to ANY ex/current admin, just saying this bc SOME people are being kinda parasocial with them and well.. its not good to act like that, its VERY harmful to treat them like gods/saints, they should be treated as real life PEOPLE.

#nictxt #qsmp admin situation #admingate #discourse #kinda #probally going to delete later #idk im scared i just want to make people know that being like that is harmful :/ #like treating a CC like a saint is bad #and doimg this to a ex/current admin is ALSO bad #its just start to fell parasocial. #dont trown hate at me please im just a autistic guy that needs to say his opnion please #i dont think also that we should treat them like CCs too #atleast this is my opnion bye guys if this get a lot of notifications i will maybe delete this #reminder this is NOT directly at ANYONE. im not targetting anyone #tbis is just what i think

[freckleslikestars]

genuinely do not get the point of replying to someone's gifset with 'I hate these characters. I stopped watching after they were introduced.' sorry you feel that way, but I don't actually give a shit. now get off my fucking post.

#do people just...not remember the phrase 'if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?' because like... #now I just feel like shit. #and like...its happened three or four times in the past couple of months. where people will leave a reply on one of my gifsets that's not #negative towards the gifset itself its negative about the character or the episode or the series or the actor #and it's like...well okay you're allowed to not like it but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to like it yknow? but also I worked hard on i #and whilst you're not directly being negative about the work I put in #you are saying its less valid because it's characters that you don't like #it's also always been hidden blogs #which means that I get the email notification of the reply but I can't actually go to the blog itself and block them to stop it happening #I try not to let it get to me but honestly I'm really fucking tired of the userbase of this site right now #it's the constant stream of 'we've got to reblog gifmakers and artists otherwise they'll stop posting' posts being reblogged and then #gifsets that have a reblog to like ratio of 1:4 #and it's been getting bad for the past five years or so #but now its getting to a point where it does really fucking bother me #because what the fuck is the fucking point #and like...I get it. I'm not great at reblogging every single gifset I see. Not everything I like is something I'm interested in. #but there comes a point where you start thinking... where are all these people that like this gifset but not enough to reblog it coming fro

[vamp-a-day]

you have a good blog :3

holy shit a ghost

(ty btw)

#not vampire #vampire-cookie #<-has to put the dash to differentiate from canon tag #hey how the fuck have i never seen you pop up in my notifs /nm #and i have to like go directly to your url or tumblr just says you don't exist #are you a wizard #i have a compulsive need to check out ppls blogs if they say something to me #was just caught off guard

Hello! I apologize if this is a nosy question, but what is the silly feelings wheel app you were talking about in a previous post? My therapist and I have been working on identifying feelings but I still very much rely on a list of feeling words to have any idea what I’m feeling, so it could be a helpful resource. No worries if you don’t want to share, just thought I would ask :)

It's called How We Feel! I'm not sure if it's available on all devices yet, but it's on ios and the google play store for sure.

I've been using it for about a year. It's more of a chart than a wheel but people usually recognize the wheel better so that's what I call it. When you first start it has a 10-part tutorial about emotional acceptance and regulation, then it has suggestions for each category of emotion. You can access both at any time tho after those first 10 days.

It has a share option so you can have friends, which has been great for me cause it prompts me to check on friends and them to do the same for me. It allows you to just respond with a little emoji in like a "I'm here for you" little notification to your friend, or you can reach out to your friend on your own. Its really helped me cause I'm bad at reaching out when I need support so to me and I'm bad about taking on other's problems even when I can't handle it so being able to send a little emoji instead to make sure my friends know I'm there if they need me and them doing the same has been great

#I know I sound like I'm a being sponsored by this app but it's genuinely been incredible for my mental health #whenever I get frustrated in therapy now about not being able to describe a feeling my therapist asks me to think about the chart #he'll ask me what color I feel and go 'good! do you want to narrow it down from there or continue with just that?' and it's so helpful #I have such terrible alexithymia from both cptsd and autism #it took a year of working with him to even recognize when I felt angry or hungry or sick #my friends and I check in on each other regularly now but it feels less intrusive #cause it feels like indirectly reaching out so it's less pressure to directly respond #and it might not feel the same for everyone since it could be jarring to get a notification saying friend feels miserable #but now that I've gotten used to it I don't feel like I need to solve their problems and make them feel better #Like they might be miserable because they're sick! So I check in and they say they're sick but okay and I don't feel the impulse to solve #like I would if I just didn't see them then saw them in person and saw they looked miserable #I don't blame myself or feel like I personally need to fix everything because I know they felt like that from an outside source I can't #control but I can certainly help them if they want! It's their choice tho and I don't feel bad if they don't/I can't #I feel less need to control my emotions/force them to be positive like I used to cause nobody feels positive 24/7 and I can see it #I don't feel the need to be politely content like I did in church because no one can be 24/7. I've attempted to get my family to start but #they're still stuck in needing to not be openly negative. It also helps me accept that negative feelings don't last forever #Someone feeling miserable because they're sick eventually puts they feel tired. Then chill and I know they feel better and I feel better too #Anyways thanks for listening to me ramble about my silly little feelings wheel app I hope it helps you like it helped me anon <3

what do writing fic and playing scrabble have in common?

both make you question whether or not you actually Know Words

#just mentally rolodexing through synonyms because the only word you can think of is Obviously Not Right #im so tired but im not sleepy so i cant take a nap #and also tumblr is using me to pick on my friend so thats fun #i cant scroll up on mine and sticks dms and theres this one post of hers that refuses to show up Anywhere #she tries to send it directly it doesnt go through #i check her blog its Not There #its not on my dash i got a blank notification for it #makes zero sense and im gonna cry about it #on a more positive note though i got a REALLY GOOD title for my mute john fic #it is now officially called Louder Than Words and im so so so proud of that title

[wayfinderships]

AUGH,,,Thing I ordered that was supposed to come today didn't end up coming today;;;

#pan rambles #It was supposed to arrive directly to my place #but I just got the notification that they couldn't deliver it for whatever reason so I gotta go pick it up directly #It's too late for me to do that today and the earliest I'll be able to pick it up is Tuesday #which is a huge shame because I was really looking forward to it arriving today;; #Oh well;;; Tuesday it is then!

[ereborne]

Alright. Alright. All the problems I've been having with work, all the uncertainty and stress and anger. I have to set them aside. I have to figure this out. What. What the hell do I do with this. A white yankee cookout.

I just got added to this contributions planning gdoc. It has existed for nearly two months, and been edited seventeen times. These are the only three people who have signed up for anything. I am. Crying.

#yapping tag #I am sobbing I cannot stop laughing. the enthusiasm for soda pops. multiple forks but a single spoon. (bucket). #I am going to fall out of my chair #why are they liiiiiiiike this (I know why they're like this. /how/ are they like this) #no one has mentioned this cookout to me directly at all I just got an email notification that I have editing access to the google sheet #next week when I'm in office with them I guess I'm going to ask around and see if there's any more verbal planning been done?? #and if not then I'm just going to wait and when it gets close to time I'll sign myself up for whatever else the cookout needs to succeed #this is what I've been added to the team for after all. I am the ultimate support class. pinch-hitter extraordinaire. #fix the database. fix the cookout. same thing really. #I've been so bitter about the lack of direction but this is a new horizon. absolutely incredible. if only I'd known this was coming! #I cannot stop looking at (bucket). bless you for specifying Travis you're my favorite

[femmeidiot]

God everyone always has something to say. I don’t answer mean anons they send me more of them I do answer mean anons someone tells me not to engage. There’s no winning with you people and I don’t know what I do to make y’all all fucking hate me so much.

#Like I tried to make a funny post earlier and someone decided to be an asshole instead of just scroll past it #Y’all all know it’s harder to ignore shit when it’s SENT DIRECTLY TO YOU #If you don’t like me or my blog or whatever just fucking leave the unfollow button is right there I’m going to talk to myself #via text posts and I’m gonna look at my own posts so I can see the notes because I get too many of them to understand on the notification #page #also frankly my posts are hilarious and iconic and I am obsessed with them even if I often feel like shit about myself why does it bother #you how I feel about myself

[shima-draws]

Today has been so mega stressful I just

Smacks head against wall

#Shima speaks #Okay. Okay okay okay storytime #SO as many of you know I bought a new car back in April. Almost May. #I didn't get the title registration card in the mail until like June #So I registered my car and bought the plates. 100% bought the plates I KNOW I bought the plates #Fast forward to now it is August and still no plates in the mail. No notification that they've been mailed or received or ANYTHING #SO I'm sitting here going hey where are my plates my temporary tags have expired on my car and I could get ticketed for that #I decide you know what I'll go to the DMV directly and get this sorted out. Fucking hate the DMV all my homies hate the DMV #But what can you do you know. Idk where the plates are. #I was very worried bc the mailroom in my apartment was broken into so somebody could have stolen the plates out of my mailbox #And I'd be none the wiser!! Bc I haven't received any sort of notification that they were delivered! #So I decide to go to the DMV right but my coworker tells me that they don't do walk ins anymore. They only see you by appointment #The next appointment wasn't available until August 22nd. LIKE. THREE WEEKS FROM NOW #So I book the appointment. And I send them an email going like hey uh I kinda need new temp tags while I'm waiting to be seen abt my plates #And they email me back going oh lol this is the wrong county you need to go to blah blah blah county office #So I'm like jesus christ okay I'll go to the correct county office. LUCKILY they have walkins so I drove over there today #I walked in and the girl working the customer service counter asks me what I need and I say hey I'm having issues getting my plates #I hand her my title registration card and she looks it up and goes oh lol we have your plates. They were returned #APPARENTLY they fucked up my address and didn't include the apartment number on the package so it got returned to them #SO THEY'VE JUST HAD MY FUCKING PLATES FOR A MONTH AND A HALF AND DIDN'T TELL ME. NO EMAIL NO PHONE CALL NOTHING IN THE MAIL #The girl goes into the back and grabs my plates. Thank god I finally have my fucking plates #LUCKILY I didn't actually have to wait in line she just grabbed them and I didn't need to get a ticket to see someone at the counter #But oh my god. SO fucking stressful dude. #I hate adulting <3 #Also my computer had a hacking scare so there's that too #But that's a whole other can of worms #Lies down I'm fucking exhausted bro

[saint-nevermore]

there’s nothing more sad than growing apart.

going from texting daily, to every other day, to once a week, to once every few months, to once a year, and then to not at all.

#yeah there’s 3 ppl this applies to. so what? #keeping online friendships alive is hard #the only ones i’ve consistently able to keep are ones where the long silences sometimes didn’t change anything #moi #im feeling emotional rn #and i’m listening to ‘letzter song’ by cro so that’s not helping akxhxkhskgi #friends #kinda #not really anymore but yeah #and yeah logan if u see this i miss when we still talked #same goes for mara #miss y’all tbh #but idk reaching out doesn’t work. and i get it some things are just over #but they were amazing before they ended ^_^ #i’ll go back to listening to music now skdjkcjdkf #normally i wouldn’t mention anyone by name directly but i saw both of them in my notifications over the last few days several times and now #i’m being nostalgic again akxhxkjdkff #anyway whoever is reading this i hope you’re having a good day :)

old man at demi lovato concert harassed me and my roommate by talking shit about us to his wife because we weren’t walking down the stairs fast enough for him

#i told him to fuck off #bc what the fuck #everyone is leaving the concert… if i could run down the stairs i would #but no there’s ppl in front of me #and then i looked him #directly in the eye #and started fast walking and weaving thru the crowd #i said u want me to hurry up i’ll hurry up #do not talk to me like wtf #my phone screen turned on and he was like ‘quit looking at your phone. get down the stairs and then go on your phone’ #i wasn’t even on my phone #i got a notif and it lit up in my hand #i hate men #methinks #joshposting
