Concert Experience Tips
As promised in my last post, here are some of the tips/hacks that I have learned coming from someone who went to the first live show.
Feel free to DM me if you have any questions, though, I am rarely on this platform.
TRANSPORTATION
Leave 2-3 hours before the gates open and take public transport / carpool / park your car in your preferred train station - In my city, public transport is included in the tickets, therefore, you're free to ride it on your way and back from the venue. Even Ticketmaster suggested to not drive to the venue as there are limited parking spaces around the stadium.
In terms of train stations, park at the station that is two or three stops away from the venue if you're leaving fairly early. Stations that is one stop away are guaranteed to be filled (and most likely that majority of people are also thinking to park there for its convenience).
ARRIVAL Outside
If you arrived at the stadium 2-3 hours before the gates open, it's also a good time to buy merch. When I went to Ed Sheeran, there are so many merch pop-up stores all around (also heaps inside the stadium). The best one to go to is the one near the train station. Worst one is just outside of the gates and also during the time when gates are about to open because I saw that the lines were long.
Speaking of merch, the total budget that you should allocate for this is around AU$200 - $250 (safe frame) because the items are very pricey. But honestly, it's okay because concerts are rare and they only come every 2-3 years. Even better than buying online and arriving 2-3 months later.
There are many food trucks outside of the stadium when we went, so you can have a bite before you go in. Of course, as it is a stadium where AFL matches are held, you also have heaps of food stalls inside. But, if you're buying from the inside, I think it's best to buy them minutes after the gates have opened since people are either taking photos of the stage or finding their seats and sections.
This is a lesson that both of us have learned – check the map beforehand. The stadium we went to was so big and could not find our gate, not realising that if we went the opposite way, we could have found it. But that's okay, at least we have walked around the stadium. Best for exercising.
Inside & During
If you're afraid of heights, do not get the stands, best to save up and be on the floor. Our seats were at the very back because they are cheapest ones that you can get. When we actually get there there, oh boi, it felt like you climbed up the stadium. Everytime I looked down, I suddenly feel nauseated, my hands were trembling and, my intrusive thought wanted me to faint and *** at the stands, which, thankfully did not happen and worst thing that could happen on the final leg of his show.. But I am so thankful that my best friend was keeping me calm and safe throughout this (btw, check on your friends too!).
Speaking of, stands get the best view of the stadium and the stage. Even better on the ground.
If you are overly sensitive/cringe on loud noises, earmuffs are a must-have - For a first-time concert goer like me, I was so overwhelmed by the loud sounds to the point that I am almost deaf. My ears were ringing after the show, but became okay after a few minutes.
Best times to go to the toilet: When people are still arriving/during opening acts or when your row is still/almost empty | Worst: after the show when everyone is going home.
Also, if you only ate a little meal, that's fine... you will never feel hungry throughout the show. Best to stay hydrated though, because there are some points where my throat is dry.
The rows are a perfect size for seating and there was absolutely no room for people to move. Therefore, as an act of courtesy, please stand up when people are trying to get to their seats
POST SHOW
Best time to contact your loved ones that you're heading home is when you have arrived at the station/place that you parked at.
Follow the crowd and be alert at all times. God forbid nothing will ever happen after the show.
Could not really say much about the post-show since everyone is heading home and has work the next day. Plus, transportation was smooth sailing on the way back.

They put this on their social feed to suggest they’re going to have a night out but then they spend the night sitting on the roof of H10 watching the city.

I came across your story "Flypaper" about the superhero convention (Fun read! Highly recommend!) and I was just wondering if you had any other interaction headcanons that didn't make the final draft?
Oh thank you... and oh, yes. I didn't include him because I knew no one would know who he is, but I love one special, incredibly charming boy... King Off-Putting himself... Bruno :)
Tumblr media
He is so very... uncomfortable to be around.
I had one line referencing Bruno and Danny in "Flypaper" but hhh... Dead Boy Duo, my beloved... I want them to be friends so bad, I want them to be sassy partners in the field, I want this with all my soul. They're brothers in spirit... Their moms have the same voice actor... Please, they would be so funny together.
I know there are oodles of fictional spy agencies in media, but I've always been a Bruno the Kid fan at heart. Ever since I first watched Danny Phantom, I've loved the idea of Globe getting in touch with Danny post-"Phantom Planet" and inviting him into the agency... Sometimes Bruno's villains canonically die instead of going to jail and I think Bruno and Danny would be a silly pair. Two "dead" (they got better!) cartoon boys goofing off and takin' names.
Specifically, Chick E. Love would have a flippin' field day burning holes in the Ghost Zone, unleashing wave after wave of ghosts into the world, and I just really want Bruno to do his "If I ever use a spy gadget the way it's intended I will die" schtick while Danny keeps dumping all the Fenton ghost-hunting gear on him...
I want the sassy boys to drive everyone up the wall. Bruno tolerated being bullied for about 5 seconds and then ruined that kid's life slkdjf. Cheerfully told Cy what he wanted to put on his tombstone. He does not mess around. I want Bruno to straight-up kill a man again and Danny to lose his mind.
Bruno is the boy who ran gleefully towards an electric fence with intent to climb it. He literally targeted HIMSELF with a missile in an attempt to win a chess game. I want the crossover joy of Danny throwing himself at everything that might kill Bruno and Bruno just Does Not Sweat It... Stupid.
Tumblr media
[More under the cut]
Anyway yeah I have very normal feelings about "Dead Boy Walking" as an episode. Bruno's enemies pinning him down and injecting a terminal disease in his system... Bruno stumbling around until he hallucinates his best friend giving him self-care advice... Bruno quietly sitting down and staring into the void, separating himself from the ongoing conversation, instead of engaging in his usual banter... Boy crosses Australia on borrowed time, his legs give out beneath him at the worst moment, he's still wheezing about how he's going to do everything in his power to save others, just a little kid lying on the cold floor alone while Sydney gloats that he only has minutes left to live... His enemies making out over his unmoving body... I am so normal about this episode.
I just want Bruno and Danny to be friends :) I think they would vibe with each other even though they'd both want to bonk the other on the head. I so very badly want to see the first moment Danny realizes "Oh... Oh, this guy's, like... serious. He will kill people if I take my eyes off him." sldkfj Bruno's so intense and I love him. Danny is so tired and I love him. I want to see the first moment Bruno blearily wakes up to realize Danny just saved him from a ghost's revenge attack in the middle of the night. I love the Dead Boy Duo.
I only threw one line about these two hanging out in "Flypaper," but in my heart they spent the whole convention together because they're co-workers... they are buddies, your honor.
I do not think WordGirl would like Bruno at all because he comes off as a smarmy, know-it-all creep to those who aren't familiar with his sense of humor... Kid Math should not be left alone with him because he's very impressionable and Bruno is a terrible influence slkjdf.
Here's a little deleted scene I had:
Tumblr media
I also had a loose draft for a scene of WordGirl and Super Why getting milkshakes with some other hero friends when Kid Math finds them again. WordGirl greets him like "Oh, how's your day going?" and Kid Math is just... very overwhelmed from his experience of interacting with two fast-paced sassy kids while he's still struggling to grasp the concept of superhero banter. Like. Bruno and Danny would destroy him. Blow his mind. There's no coming back from that.
So yeah, Bruno was definitely at the convention... I just didn't show him apart from that one-liner about him hanging out with Danny. "Flypaper" was really fun to write. I don't plan to do a crossover like this again any time soon, but the convention was a cool setting to explore and I'm glad you enjoyed! <3
One of my favorite stupid jokes in "Flypaper" is that Romeo was being a troublemaker in the daytime and WordGirl asked if he was "even allowed to do that" since he's supposed to be a "nighttime villain" in the PJ Masks lore... But tbh I watched a lot of Romeo clip compilations before this story and ?? apparently it's just a thing that Romeo regularly commits crime during the day and the PJ Masks literally hang back and wait until nightfall before they fight him?? That's SO funny to me.
(I also don't understand when the PJ Masks sleep and if anyone has the answer, please drop it in my inbox because I'd love to know but I also don't want to binge the series over this, ha ha)
I also wanted to make a joke about Alphapig being 5 years younger than the rest of the Super Readers because the amount I lost my mind when I saw that on the [unsourced] Super Why wiki was indescribable. POV: One of your friends is a princess, at least one is in college, and you're starting high school.
(I'm dying at the idea of three 10-year-olds running around Storybrook Village and there's a 5-year-old tagging along with them. The mental image of 7-year-old Whyatt taking a 3 or 4-year-old pig under his wing as his new friend... Such a good boy.)
After Tobey launched Romeo off his robot, I had WordGirl catch him, but I'd originally hoped to have Kick Buttowski catch him because I thought writing cool skateboard rescue mission would be fun. It seemed like it would just be shoving in an extra character who didn't need to be there, though, and it risked dragging down the scene with introductions and descriptions, but in my heart, Kick was at the convention too. Extreme.
I think another of my fave dumb jokes was just... WordGirl approaching the superhero panel she's supposed to speak on, she looks out into the crowd, but then she's like "Oh no the entire Paw Patrol are watching me, this is so much pressure."
Nothing to see here, just Baby Dog Squad taking notes... I still think about that randomly throughout the day and giggle. I love this 'fic.

I don't know if I really can pick a favorite Undertale song since I love them all but every single boss theme goes so hard... Death by Glamour is definitely up there though. Also this post was supposed to end here but I started infodumping in the tags and reached tag limit AHAHAHA
#i cant listen to Undertale the song because it makes me cry i get so emotional AHAHA#its a special game to me. same with deltarune but undertale came first#being able to experience the undertale to deltarune development in real time has been such a special experience#like when toby fox released chapter one on halloween and i just remember playing it with my friends in college#and then chapter 2 last year#i love finding new secrets in the game and in the code its so fun and i love the characters and everything#and yeah maybe some of the fandom is cringe but god tge normal people about it are so fun to be around and talk with#the fucking orchestral concert !!!!!#also seeing temmie change start streaming on twitch and her own gorgeous game#im just so excited for whatever toby fox does next. i will always be nostalgic for undertale but deltarune is so!!#like i love seeing the new stuff. i love that deltarune is a different game than undertale with new characters. like we get cameos of old#ones and a mysterious connection to the other game but its still its own thing and really is starting to find itself as something uniquely#separate from undertale and earthbound and tobys halloween hack and other pixel games#also unsaid but its funny as all shit#not to mention how the guy puts his whole tobussy into musical motifs#every note and harmony of every song feels intentional like one big song split into different parts#not to idolize the guy like hes still a guy and these games were undoubtedly supported by amazing creators and artists like temmie and patr#patrons#i do highly respect his anonymity though#gosh i try not to be all (foams at the mouth) parasocial relationship whatever with microcelebrities etc etc but i really am just a big fan#for all my shitposting about undertale haha#its the simple things in life. cassie is allowed to be buckwild about undertale and come up with the silliest game theories as a treat#also i just like papyrus . what a guy#sans too#like i obviously goob on him whenever i possibly can but my favorite character is without a doubt papyrus#also since im going insane in these tags can i just say that on youtube The Second Narrator composes some of the most amazing . amazing.#AMAZING orchestral covers of undertale and deltarune music. megalovania is so good but my current fav is his comp of smart race#its like a remix of smart race and berdlys theme and queens stuff but fuck fuck fuck its so good its so good it has ACCORDIAN#the composer adds in little flares of ? idk the music term for it maybe meleodies but theyre new strings of melody in the songs that fit#fit so well imo like they have a specific style that you can hear in every cover

So, for the past five or so shows I've gone to, I stop for food before and just leave it in my car.
I've yet to regret eating cold cheeseburgers.
Especially because nowhere is 24/7 anymore and I live in BFE

superfan! yandere boy x gn! popstar reader
✰ warnings: stalking, obsessiveness, breaking and entering, nsfw, masochist yandere, overstimulation, thigh riding, bondage, male masturbation, unhealthy behavior, average yandere tendencies, male yandere oc (he’s very pathetic and perverted, it’s giving “step on me” energy.) gender neutral reader
✰ a/n: heyyyyy guess who isn’t dead.. i literally open tumblr every 3 minutes i just haven’t been posting. but i’m hereeeee lol. here’s a random yandere oc post, sorry it’s not mortal kombat. (tbh i have faded away from my mk obsession and now i am obsessed with until dawn, the quarry, tlou, and rdr.)
part two here!
Tumblr media
superfan! yandere boy that buys all of your merchandise and streams your music on loop 24/7. even while he sleeps.
superfan! yandere boy that commissions artists to draw you and him together in different styles. some of them may depict him on a cute date with you, and some are more explicit and depict you stepping on him or choking him.
superfan! yandere boy that sneaks into your concerts if he didn’t manage to buy a ticket. no matter how strong your security is, he will always manage to find a way in and pretend he's just a regular fan.
superfan! yandere boy that will even sneak onto your house and film you through your window for hours, and then he would go home and touch himself to the footage of you.
superfan! yandere boy that wants to buy meet-and-greet tickets to see you, and be able to feel your presence up close and be able to speak to you personally. but as much as he craves your attention, he knows he wouldn't be able to handle it and would crumble immediately the second you look him in the eyes.
superfan! yandere boy that pays people to stalk you and take pictures of you when he can't do it himself. especially ones when you have a wardrobe malfunction.
superfan! yandere boy that goes to sleep every night fantasizing and dreaming of you. his particular favorite wet dream is of you letting him ride your thigh, grinding against your skin as a desperate attempt to feel any friction on his cock. your hands would roam around his body as he relishes in your attention, no matter where you touch him. any small nudge or brush against his skin would set his heart on fire and oh no where'd his pants go-
superfan! yandere boy that thinks you could do no wrong. you said something offensive and got yourself cancelled? he is your number one defender and would be threatening your naysayers on the internet. he would even go as far as to learn to hack just so he could delete their accounts.
superfan! yandere boy that almost WANTS to get caught. he knows he wouldn't be able to handle your attention, so he avoids it, but a part of him wants to get caught and outed for his perverted, stalker ways. he wants to hear you cuss him out and degrade him. he wants to see the disgusted look on your face as he is exposed for everything he did. spit on him, kick him, treat him like vermin, he doesn't mind. he gets off on the thought of you punishing him. he has a particular fantasy where your punishment for him is by tying him up and overstimulating him until he is crying, whimpering, and almost fainting. but he would still beg for more. no matter how long it lasts. it could be a week long and he still wouldn't be satisfied.

Fuck Taylor swift. I don’t know if she had a hand in the concert design or banning water bottles from the place or anything else that caused the fan’s death. However, I am blaming her for the aftermath. It’s fucked up that she didn’t address the fan by her name or her family in her post. It’s worse that she didn’t even have the decency to pay for the fan’s body to be taken back home or pay for the funeral. Her own fans did and Taylor is a fucking billionaire! She can waste her money on a jet that is super harmful to the environment but this bitch couldn’t even led a little bit of her money to send that fan’s body back to her parents? Taylor didn’t even reach out to the fan’s parents to send her regards, or apologies! She said nothing! It’s so fucked up.
Worst of all, some of her stupid stans are defending her yet again! They do realize that this could have happened to any of them and Taylor would have reacted the same way, right?
Fuck Taylor for being a awful person, fuck the venue for being money hungry bastards that caused this tragedy and fuck her stans for defending this talentless hack for being a awful person.

I feel a little bad bc there’s this guy at my work who has tried multiple times to start casual conversations with me and every time he just picked a topic that I couldn’t give my honest opinion on without it sounding rude or for other reasons so instead I just kinda dodged the question and made things really awkward.
Like he asked me, “Do you like taylor swift? My daughter is a huge fan and we’re going to a concert of hers next year” literally the day after the woman died at the Brazil taylor swift concert. It’s not like I could say “I think she’s a talentless hack who is only in the industry because of her dad’s money and her private jet is responsible for more pollution per year than you or I will ever make in our lifetimes. Oh also someone died at her concert yesterday because they didn’t let people bring water in on a day where it was over 100°F because they wanted to make more water sales”
Or later after he apparently overheard the metal music I was playing in my headphones he tried to start a conversation by bringing up Metallica. I’m not gonna launch into a rant about how they’re scum who fucked over the entire music industry and also their music is bad, so instead I gave a kind of non answer and pretended to be busy
The third time I think he was actually in the wrong by saying something about how he was watching the news about what was happening in Israel and that he hopes the hostages get released. I can’t exactly start talking about my views on that topic at work are you insane.
Like I think he thinks I’m just rude or don’t like him or something but like guy you’ve chosen terrible conversation topics every time

Idia Info Compilation part 15: Housewarden Role
Idia says he “can’t find one reason to be happy about being housewarden” and has multiple lines about how he does not want the position, even offering it to Azul.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idia blames Ortho for talking him into it, saying that he mostly leaves the students of the dorm to themselves and considers coding up an AI housewarden to take over the job.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idia explains that he only accepted the previous housewarden’s nomination because Ortho asked if there was anyone in Ignihyde more capable that Idia himself, “And I’m not about to march to the tune of some dude who’s lower level than me…so I grudgingly accepted the job. If there was anyone else who could handle being housewarden, I’d turn over the job in a heartbeat.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idia says he can barely name the members of Ignihyde that he has classes with, even though he has been living in the same dorm with them for two years. “But hey, the fact remains that nobody’s better for the job than me.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This conversation with Azul is overheard by multiple Ignihyde students, who are not impressed.
The Ignihyde students decide to “teach (Idia) he’s not housewarden material” by switching out his equipment in a practical magic class to embarrass him, but the plot is foiled when Idia ditches the class.
They get their revenge by hacking the website of Idia’s favorite idol group on the night that tickets to an upcoming concert go on sale, but Idia restores the site and tracks them down.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idia reveals that the script they downloaded from a hacker forum for their prank is one that Idia himself coded and shared when he was literally five years old.
Idia mocks them for being an insult to the spirit of Ignihyde, and the students decide that him telling them to “do better” was actually his way of encouraging them (“That roundabout display of kindness would’ve gone over most people’s heads”).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idia says that Silver is way more loyal to Malleus than any of the students in Ignihyde are to him (“No one in Ignihyde would go on patrol at night to keep ME safe”), but it is unclear how true this is: during the New Year’s event two Ignihyde students are quick to back up Idia and Ortho when they get into trouble with people from other dorms.
