YES YES I THOUGHT THIS FANDOM IS DYING 😭😭😭‼️‼️‼️
The Ocean's Crew almost always live together in one big house during their planning phases. Sometimes they crash at Rueben's mansion, sometimes they all stay in adjoining rooms at a cheap hotel, and sometimes Danny has the money for an AirB&B.
When they do all live together, Rusty is the one who decides where everyone goes. Because of this, he gets hounded and bribed for weeks on end before move-in day because: Saul's very strong living preferences are always changing, Livingston's allergies mean he can't stand rooming with half the crew, Frank needs his own bathroom, if they bring Tess then everyone is going to want to room with Tess, Yen wants to be closest to the kitchen and simultaneously on one of the higher floors, Basher is very particular about who he simply will not room with, Linus has about a million asks (both said and unsaid), Danny wants to be wherever his scheming mind can scheme a little more, and nobody ever wants to room with the twins.
Rueben never has to tell Rusty his preferences. He knows that Rusty will put him where he likes best.
Rueben's butler knows them all by name and never needs to be asked what they want for breakfast.
When they live together they come up with random, stupid family rules like "if you're late for dinner, you have to sing 'I'm a little teapot' backwards" or "if you track mud through the house you have to do the dishes." The twins invented most of these rules just to mess with Linus but they become a staple of every good heist.
Domesticities like Taco Tuesday are mandatory.
If there is a pool, Basher will be in it. It gets to the point where Danny has to bribe staff to put less chlorine in it so Basher's skin doesn't dry out like a raisin.
Everyone gauges how well things are going by Rusty's nighttime routine. If he announces after dinner that he's going to bed by 9 or 10, it is defcon 5 and everyone should be tense.
Frank has jazz playing 24/7.
If they're staying at a hotel, they have to attack breakfast in the lounge restaurant in meticulous phases. Danny always goes first to get the freshest coffee. Rusty always goes last because he eats the most. Someone always has to go with Saul to make sure he's not upping his cholesterol.
Yen puts Mandarin subtitles on all of the TVs. He can understand English movies perfectly fine but it helps the rest of the crew learn Mandarin.
Everybody's making Rusty Ryan a dog. A fucking DOG.
No, ofc he's not a dog. But he's a dog.
In the back of my mind, I've always somehow knew that he's Danny's no1 loyal dog.
And now everybody's giving him dog manners.
And I fucking love that (sorry not sorry).
Well, yes, I write about George Clooney and Brad Pitt being gay gay homosexual gay boyfriends

Ocean’s 2
Hear me out on my list of everything that I want for the upcoming sequel of Ocean's Trilogy that they said in pre-production:
STOP FORCING DANNY AND RUSTY TO BE HET. THERE IS NOTHING STRAIGHT ABOUT THEM! Homies don't stare each other like they wanna eat each other (yk what I mean.)
I hope this one will be set in casino but instead of boring Las Vegas, we are going straight to Monaco. Even better when you think about it; it has Casino and is in Europe. Basically a perfect mix of Ocean's Eleven and Twelve. Also I'm daydreaming to see the casts on yacht again like they did during Cannes film fest 2004 lol.
We need Toulour back, probably this time he is going to be the additional person in the team.
I want the plot to be revolving around Danny faking his death, why? Because well, hehe, might be funny if Danny and Rusty were secretly retiring together and coming back for this last heist to end their criminal activities for good or they might be just bored. But all Ocean's Trilogy heists happened for good reasons so I hope they make it complicated as the predecessors.
I need more intimate conversations between Rusty and Danny. We also need to know their backgrounds and stuffs because although headcanons that writers and fans made are great, I need some closure because they talked like a pair of mind readers and we just like to assumed things (the worse thing is that all of our ideas fit so well with their dynamics.)
Cameo of Debbie and Lou! (SELF EXPLANATORY)
I don't need to put this on the list because we all want this one: bring all the remaining Ocean's Eleven back! AT ALL COSTS! (I don't care if the budget would balloon like crazy, this is probably the last time a franchise movie might be good.)
Don't make Danny and Rusty married to anyone (other than with each other) pls, don't make them have children or any sorta stuff that are so cliché. It's a fact that they won't be conforming to society's heteronormative child-centric ideals. Quoting from Captain Raymond Holt the badass king.
Interesting villain! Gotta be honest Terry is my favourite, both intimidating and as the films progressesed he became more and more chill like rest of the people who robbed him lol.
Tess and Isabel cameo (sorry I want this one to be revolving around the boys not like girls aren't invited tho hehe.) The girls need to meet the rest of Ocean's 8 plsss!
Bring back Toulour too and his absolutely mindboggling capoeira skill.
Dude, I know Brad Pitt's old now and probably needs to check his calorie intakes every now and then but probably a lil bit snacking won't hurt hehe. Basically I need Rusty to munch celery or anything.
I edited this on August and I posted it on TikTok but the sound was taken down. Anyway here's another Danny x Rusty edit and this one is ANGSTY •́ ‿ ,•̀
when your husband gets locked up for stealing incan matrimonial masks to get back at his ex wife <3
if we weren’t supposed to think they’re in love why do they literally always look seconds away from fucking eachother??
I MISS THEM 💔💔💔
…like hello
my honor
anyways I rest my case
LET ME SPEAK UP FOR OUR MAN RUSTY RYAN'S OUTFIT!!!
"Rusty dresses like trash." EXCUSE ME??!!
IT'S: “Rusty walks in like the runway”
In Ocean’s Trilogy, Rusty's always dressed to kill. You look at him and you know he understands what he’s wearing and why. Slim-fit suits, bold color choices that still look classy, layering done with surgical precision. Unbuttoned silk shirts, designer shades, luxury watches — he’s cool without trying too hard.
Meanwhile Danny plays it safe with his classic suits. And Linus… oh my god, Linus… the sweaters, the gray jackets —he looks like a lost office intern =)) And NOBODY EVEN SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT LINUS FASHION TASTE, while Rusty wears one slightly crinkled silk shirt and suddenly he’s “dressed like a dumpster fire” 🥲💔
To sum it up: Rusty’s fashion is chaotic but curated. It’s loud, yes. But it slaps. If Rusty isn’t stylish, then who is??
sometimes I wonder why y'all are obsessed with specific characters and I'm like "why them" but then I remember that sometimes its literally not your choice you just look at them wrong and all of a sudden they're taking up your every thought forever
I was very bored.
right 😩🤌
there is just something so old hollywood about them
TOO AMAZINGGG 😭🧎♀️🤚
Brad & George interviews are always amazing
noted
I’ve been back on my oceans kick and does anyone else think it’s cute that in the beginning Danny asked Frank “Do you know where he is?” You would think with the newspaper he’s reading he would be talking about Ruben, but Frank is like “ur bf is in Vegas go make hot and heavy eye contact” and they flirted over poker????? And everyone shipped them so hard except for Linus who was having a sexuality crisis while simultaneously having an authority crisis.
THIS IS SO TRUE *cough aggressively
“but what about platonic soulmates?? not everything has to be romantic. friendship is just as important—” shut uppp. i have plenty of friends. i don’t need to live vicariously through some fictional character’s friendship. i want to see them fuck nasty. i want to see them be weird about each other
linus' parents intrigue me so much. they're ridiculously rich and powerful people who just let their anxious, sweetheart only child run around with a bunch of gay criminals because they know said criminals are sooo protective of him and yet will also teach him independence and confidence and make him a better person and so they are truly just nonexistent in his life unless he's in True Trouble like do they think danny ocean's gang is a summer camp? and also how linus hates how his family fusses over him and it's implied they're relentless mother hens and yet you never see them and truly Are giving him space. but their relationship is also strained because he only ever pretends he's okay with them but with danny and rusty and rueben and the gang they're close enough with him to tease him, encourage him to grow and are attentive enough to know that he'd been crying for example in 13. like even the rough gruff criminal uncle #14 knows if linus caldwell is sad. and yet he barely talks to his parents and yet they also Vaguely have eyes on him at all times personal safety wise yet are so out of tune with him as a person. it's sooooo fascinating. his home life intrigues me so bad. #rants
Honestly, every single fic about Danny/Rusty (Ocean's Trilogy) might just be the most beautiful thing to ever exist on this planet. I mean, George Clooney and Brad Pitt are already some of the most stunning human beings to ever walk the Earth—no one even comes close. (Pitt was the first of the two to grace PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive cover in 1995. Clooney followed in 1997 and 2000, and then Pitt made a legendary comeback in 2006!!!)
But I swear, the words that Ocean's fanfic writers craft about Danny/Rusty are even more exquisite than the actors themselves. No, I’m not exaggerating. You’d understand if you ever let yourself fully absorb and appreciate the sheer beauty woven into their writing. These works are filled with deep psychological character studies, layered with scenes where the two of them explore each other’s bodies after pulling off history-making heists.
It’s the ABSOLUTE PEAK of everything. Or honestly—if there’s a word beyond “peak,” that’s what it is.
Their words have the power to reach straight into the heart of any reader—like a path of flowers leading gently toward the deepest corners of the soul, like cool spring water flowing through the mind.
There is no such thing as a bad Danny/Rusty fic—no matter the tone, length, or style—has something special to offer. I’ve never been disappointed. Every single one is a gift. I love every bit them (Seriously. I might end up quoting the entire fic because every line made me feel SO MUCH emotions).
As someone who’s read, reflected on, and mentally archived a considerable number of Danny/Rusty fics, I can say this with full pride: this fandom, though it may be a tiny grain of sand in the vast ocean of the internet, is truly one of the most precious things out there—a place where fanfic writers are among the most gifted, most intuitive, and most emotionally literate creators I’ve ever seen.
please help me fandom
im running on fumes. there’s a sad lack of ryocean content, ocean’s 11 content, everything AHHHHHHH
