Bestfriends - Mötley Crüe
Tumblr media
Authors note: Hello there! I was planning to write for Mötley for quite some time now but I was waiting for my book to arrive (I still don't have it so, well...). English is NOT my first language and I'm a bit rusty. Anyways, enjoy.
Requested?: no
Pairing: best friends!Motley Crue/reader
Summary: You punch Tommy's girlfriend in the face after she speaks badly of his mother.
Warnings: swear words (duh?), mentions of alcohol.
As best friends with the boys, you were always on tour with them, which means sleeping in the bus, partying all night after the shows, and getting in trouble with the terror twins. And even when you paired up with the boys to terrorize Mick, he still treated you like a baby sister.
On one of those days, you were drinking with Mick and Vince in the dress rooms,  Tommy was looking for his girlfriend/fiancé (you didn't even know anymore to be honest), and Nikki was missing too.
The three of you looked at each other with a knowing glance. It was obvious they were fucking.
"I'll introduce her to my parents, man," Tommy exclaimed excitedly. "She's the one."
Mick snorted, then tried to calm down.
"Yeah, man!" Vince said with thumbs up.
"Such a great girl!" You mock, but Tommy didn't understand your tone.
And that's when she appeared.
She wasn't exactly a pleasant company and everyone knew that, everyone but Tommy.
*
Chilling on the bus near Nikki, you were listening to Tommy's weird dream. Something about a floating drum. You didn't really catch what he was saying. That's when his girl stabbed him with a pen.
You and Mick exchanged a weird look and then she started to scream, insulting Tommy. You just couldn't stop the laugh that escaped your mouth.
The black-haired woman looked at you, her eyes burning through your soul.
"And you're just a fucking bitch!"
"Really? Never heard that one before." You mock pouted, making the boys laugh.
"A fucking cunt!"
"Wow, so creative!" You show your thumbs up.
"And you should have protected me from your mother." Another smack against Tommy. "That... that bitch! She's a cunt!"
Everyone's jaws were on the floor.
"A fucking cunt!"
You didn't know what the fuck happened, but one minute you were sitting by Nikki, and the other you were standing, punching her on the nose.
"Never speak about her like this again." You and Tommy said at the same time.
She screams in pain and tries to hit you, but at the same time you push her away with your foot, Nikki holding you to try and stop the fight as Tommy made sure she was out the bus in no time, ending things with her right then and there.

King Under Your Control-An Azris Playlist
It's the final entry to the ACOTAR Playlist Project? Can you believe?!
I wanted to finish with a bang. Azris, the crackship to end them all. I'm also of the opinion that Azris has some of the best writers in this fandom, and this playlist is for them. This tracklist was inspired by all of the art and fics I've been blown away by. @iftheshoef1tz, @ofduskanddreams, @secret-third-thing, and @krem-does-stuff specifically. But there are too many to name.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LISTEN HERE and take a look at the tracklist behind the cut!
King-Years & Years
I was a king under your control And, oh, oh, oh I wanna feel like you've let me go, so let me go Don't you remember how I used to like Being on the line? I dreamed you dreamed of me calling out my name Is it worth the price?
Zephyrus-Bloc Party
And all you said in your quietest voice Was "I needed you as much as they do" And all you said in your quietest voice Was "I needed you as much as they do" How fast must we run before we can just take off in flight? How far must we run before they do not recognise us? So let's take this from the start, you'll be me and I'll be you
Casanova-Allie X & VERITE
I'm here lying on the bed of your tongue My heart listens to the sound of your war drum Steady tiptoeing to your neck of the woods I feel danger on your lips but it tastes good
Sex and Violence-Scissor Sisters
Everytime I spend myself it never runs too low Woah, woah, woah I can't escape my need for
Sex and violence Never let you see them hand in hand One is with the other The softest touches deeper than the ocean Give it to me faster, feel it, feel it
NEW MAGIC WAND-Tyler the Creator
Ayo, take one look in the mirror, implications so clear I live life with no fear, except for the idea That one day you won't be here I will not fetch the ball Eyes are green, I eat my vegetables
Ties-Years & Years
And you're a dancer, well, I'm a spy It's so beautiful to see you lie Are you having fun? Then give it up, you don't need that stress You're still hungry for another test Are you having fun?
Under the Sheets-Ellie Goulding
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me In our house made of paper, your words all over me We're under the sheets and you're killin' me Like all the boys before
Bad Habit-Foals
'Cause if I go Where the flowers grow Into the deep below Oh, would you forget me now? And if I could Make the days okay Wash the stains away Oh, would you forget me now?
Pink + White
That's the way every day goes Every time we've no control If the sky is pink and white If the ground is black and yellow It's the same way you showed me Nod my head, don't close my eyes Halfway on a slow move It's the same way you showed me If you could fly, then you'd feel south Up north's getting cold soon The way it is, we're on land Still, I'm someone to hold true Keep you cool when it's still alive Won't let you down when it's all ruin
Sweet Dreams-Angel Olsen
Every time I take a breath Something once living inside me has left Yes, it's alive but it's just passed through It's just left me and it's just left you On your own
Only He Can Heal Me-Bloc Party
When the trappings of the body Lead me to that hopeless place And I feel my spirit crumble Under strain and under guilt Lay me down in rivers cleansing Where the tall grass grows and grows And let me wait until My saviour comes home
In My Room-Frank Ocean
Got this lust for life in me, yeah Horny for the game, uh First they kiss, then they bite soft, uh Then that bitch wanna play it off, huh Fuck it, I'm pretty still in a pit of snakes While serpents shake some brand new scales I need a new face, I'm tired of these weirdos
Wolf Like Me-TV on the Radio
Dream me, oh, dreamer, down to the floor Open my hands and let them weave onto yours Feel me, completer, down to my core Open my heart and let it bleed onto yours Feeding on fever, down on all fours Show you what all the howling is for
Genghis Khan-Miike Snow
I know there's no form And no labels to put on To this thing we keep And dip into when we need And I don't have the right To ask where you go at night But the waves hit my head To think someone's in your bed
Magnets-Disclosure
Dancing past the point of no return Let go, we can free ourselves of all we've learned I love this secret language that we're speakin' Say it to me, let's embrace the point of no return
I’m Done with the World (& It’s Done with Me)-Foals
The fox is dead in the garden The hedges are on fire in the country lanes And all I want to do is get out of the rain An autumn day, an autumn day My daughter's asleep in the garden The leaves are on fire in the country lanes And all I want to do is get out of the rain On an autumn day, on an autumn day I’m done with the world and it’s done with me All I wanna do is get up and leave Sun falls into the garden I’m on my knees
TAGLIST: @iftheshoef1tz @ofduskanddreams @krem-does-stuff @secret-third-thing @queercontrarian @born-to-riot @yanny-77 @acourtofladydeath @witch-and-her-witcher @fieldofdaisiies @chunkypossum @thelovelymadone @velidewrites @octobers-veryown @asnowfern

Imagine where in Twisted Wonderland people broke into songs .
So you know, we, the readers/players know what Disney characters are, right? Imagine if we get transported in Twisted Wonderland but we knew all the Disney characters, like "wow, this bitch acting like evil queen for real".
"Omg it's literally fucking Hades in real life"
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY DORM?!"
Anways, where I'm going with this, imagine expecting everyone or someone to randomly start singing and being so paranoid about it, like that's so awkward.
"Yeah! When I'm done with Vil I'll show him I'm not just some cute boy!"
"Are you going to start sing? That's where it is going?"
*Epel confusing look*
"Leona, please wake up!"
"...what herbivore?"
"Please tell me if I'm crazy or not-"
"You're crazy...."
"NO LISTEN! do you here any drums or trumpets playing right now?"
"No but I have a paranoid mouse squeaking in my ear, go to sleep".
After a year of no singing, we've been started to lower our guard, untill we go to Royal Sword Academy.
"Hey Neige! How have you been doing? I got your letter saying that you needed help?"
"Oh just wonderful! Yes! I do need your help! After all you are well known to help anyone in need!"
"Okay? With what?"
"I need you to stay here with me!"
*piano heard in the distance*
"Oh no..."
"You see-"
"Are you going to sing?"
"I've been thinking-"
"DOES ANYONE ELSE HERE THAT PIANO?!"
Tumblr media
This was rushed but I needed to get it out of my head, like, it's been sitting there and I don't know how to put it in the right words.

Adam X Oc
The first time they met, Adam's first impression was that she was boring and had very bad taste, at first he was a little curious about her, which was normal, but his attempt at rapprochement was not the best of all.
—And this cutie?— the man known as Ethan, whose purpose in the band was to play the drums, leaned a little towards the shorter winged girl with a subtly flirtatious smile, finding her sweet appearance and face attractive at first glance. tender and with a squashy appearance.
The angel tilted her head a little and retreated a little at her sudden approach, her eyes were a little drooping and everything about her revolved around colors with various shades of blue, her eyes, her hair. her. . . Her mouth, because it gave the impression that there were cyan marks on the sides of her mouth, simulating small embroidery.
—Leave her alone, she came for me, asshole.– She was named Laila, who was in charge of pushing away her dear friend's drummer, a dear friend she had met about a week ago, actually, but he was quite nice to her. . . And she reminded him of someone she knew during her lifetime.
Adam was elated and happy after being booed by some fans, and after handing out some autographs and exciting the girls with flirtatious looks, he made his way through the hallways so he could drop off his things and finally leave, he hummed a little under his breath, his Good mood could be quickly noticed, he still had a lot of energy, and he was thinking about releasing it, specifically on someone.
— Wait for me outside, dear, I'll just change.– He immediately recognized Laila's voice, who was in her band. From the hallway he watched her enter the bathroom and leave a girl behind.
For a moment the appearance of the angel seemed familiar to him, approaching her to inspect her one more voice, where do you know her from? There are many people in heaven, but he specifically remembered having seen her somewhere, not at the concert, he didn't remember. having seen it as a spectator.
But admiring her a little more closely, he remembered her desire to expel the energy he had from her into more physical action, and even though she wasn't his type physically, he didn't hesitate to approach her.
— Hey, cutie, are you waiting for someone?– Adam's sudden approach surprised the angel a little, but she just looked at him and nodded. Her face was a little curious to Adam, but that didn't stop him.
— Who are you?–
Adam almost drowned.
With a puzzled expression, she went blank, silently staring at the short one as she processed her question, what kind of question is that?
— What kind of question is that?! I'm the fucking Adam! Do you live under a rock or what?!– He frowned, leaning exaggeratedly towards the angel, who pressed his back against the wall. by that approach, but after trying to make sense of the situation, his smile suddenly grew, bringing his face closer to her, almost in a predatory way while his wings spread over her, giving a feeling of intimidation because this It made him look bigger than before.– Ohh, I get it, you're trying to play dumb to get my attention, aren't you? You fake little bitch.– The tone of his voice quickly became slightly mocking and seductive, as the angel Below him I looked at him with confusion and surprise, all of this was very fast and sudden.
— Since you don't know who I am, why don't I show you who Adam is?— Her hands held the angel's hips, causing her to jump a little because of it.
— No!– When this was too much for her, she pushed the man from her body, her cheeks were a little red and she was a little agitated, clearly this whole act worked to upset her, since you were not used to these things.
It took Adam a few moments to process that she had pushed him, so he stayed silent, staring at her until he scowled angrily, crossing his arms in indignation.
— Hey! How dare you push me?! You should be grateful that I, Adam, noticed a bitter bitch like you!
That was it, he was no longer in a good mood.
Without allowing the angel to say anything else, Adam began to quietly complain and mutter curses, turning around as he quickly walked away from her,
Who would reject HIM? It was the fucking Adam, she should be grateful that he noticed her! What bad tastes she must have to have pushed him away like that, how rude!

y'all it is hyperfocus scream time
Alright so sporadic Arknights posting is cool and all, but tumble here is THE website for info dumping your weird fascinations unto the world. I worry enough about being annoying or overbearing all the damn time, so fuck it, it's time to scream about something I love. I've always loved music, and I'm fascinated by splitting it apart and studying it, figuring out what makes things tick. One of my favorite ways to do this is via stems-- that is, when a fully mastered track is broken down into audio files for separate instruments or parts: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, synths, all that. This way you get to hear all the lil intricacies you might've otherwise missed! Unfortunately most music out there doesn't have stems just lying around, but sometimes we're graced with the next best thing: instrumentals. There's a lot to it but TL;DR, we can pull some fancy phase shenanigans between a full and instrumental version of a track to isolate the vocals! It's not perfect, there'll be bits of the full mix poking through, but it's enough to catch some cool things you might not have otherwise heard. Buckle up bitches, cause I'm gonna take you for a ride. Today I'm gonna take you through some of the intricacies of one stellar vocal performance: Suisei's TEMPLATE.
youtube
Let's get started!
In fear of the boundless wrath of the copyright gods, I don't wanna post any bits of the og or instrumental raw, so I'll reference parts in the original with timestamps like this (0:00)! I highly recommend you first listen to the song in full, then reference the noted segments in the og as we go through the audio examples. I really want you to appreciate how cool this all is xD To give you an idea of what our instrumental phase cancelling sounds like, here's a short bit from verse one (0:15 - 0:25)
Neat, huh? Already we're hearing the slightest touch of reverb that mostly gets buried in the full mix. It's subtle, but it gives a sense of depth and space that'd be noticeable if missing. As far as performance goes, I love the tension of power in this, the swell of intensity followed by reeling it back in. It's subtle at first but it really evolves as the song progresses. Let's dive a bit further. Here's the vocals for the first chorus (0:34 - 0:59)
Alright now we've got some interesting stuff going on. I wanna stress here that Suisei is a phenomenal vocalist, and the sense of careful control over power and projection she's got starts to show here. Specific syllables are thrown out like a gut punch, and just as quickly retract in this delicate weaving of intensity, and it is so goddamn cool. We also get to hear some harmonies that accompany the lead vocals, but they're still a bit buried under that lead. What if I told you there's a way we could further isolate those? Another technical TL;DR but in addition to left and right, we can also split stereo audio into mid and sides. Most modern mixed music will have lead vocals straight up the center, while backing harmonies are either doubled or effected to trickle out to the sides, to give that lead room to breathe. So what does this same chorus sound like if we listen to just the sides?
Okay so right off the bat we hear this harmony that has a graceful snap upwards to its last note. To my extremely limited jp knowledge it's something like: Boku wa zutto kurushi kattan da That kattan da harmony is beautiful in its own right, and it's not something you get to hear on its own. (also if u know better than me plz correct me if i'm wrong on that jp for the love of god) And after that? It turns out the whole chorus has a layer underneath that's sung an octave below the lead. Like. Holy shit. To my limited knowledge I don't know if we ever get to hear Suisei sing this low in isolation, so this is wild to hear on its own. Her tone and inflection is way different here. Notice the power and projection isn't really there, how it's a bit more lowkey? It doesn't get in the way of the powerful lead, and helps round out the bottom end into a wall of sound when combined. You don't notice it much in the full track, but you'd definitely notice its absence. See, often with music I do this hyperfixation thing where I latch onto the tiniest details imaginable and listen to them over and over again, just to appreciate how enormously fucking cool they are. This low octave chorus is no exception. I heard it when first listening to the full track, but it was awesome to finally hear it in (relative) isolation. ...when excitedly showing this all to some friends, one of them said "gubs you are so fucking down bad." And you know what? She was goddamned right.
Moving onto something a lil smaller, there's an additional higher octave for a moment in verse two (1:11 - 1:15)
And the same thing with the sides isolated:
Simple things like this really help add texture and dynamics to a performance. A harmony that persists for an entire song is often more boring than having it weave in and out! It's especially effective in helping to emphasize certain lyrical bits. The 2nd chorus has different lyrics, but from an arrangement standpoint it's mostly the same as the first. Let's fast forward to the start of the bridge (1:42 - 2:01):
This part isn't particularly buried underneath the mix, but I thought it was worth isolating anyway. I really want to point out how beautiful the additional higher melody is in the second half.
Alright, it's time for one of my favorite parts of this track. Let's take a listen to the latter part of the bridge (2:10 - 2:20):
...do you hear that? Do you fucking hear that?? There is something incredible in here. Let's isolate it.
That last line, with the lead taken out of the mix, has not only a harmony sung an octave above, but also an octave below. Holy fuck. Okay. I need you to understand. Being able to sing the same line in 3!! THREE!!! Different octaves! IS FUCKING WILD. For fuck's sake the melody line itself nearly spans an octave in range!? God. My fucking god. I'm sorry for losing my shit over this (not sorry at all) but this demonstrates an incredibly flexible range, and that is not something you'll hear flexed quite as hard as it is here. I've only heard a handful of examples of this sort of thing before. I adore this shit so much. I am such a gay fucking loser oh my g od *ahem* alright let's wrap this up by listening to this fantastic outro segment (2:42 - 3:01):
Personally I tend to dislike when a slowed, half-tempo chorus is replaced by/followed with a full-speed section in an effort to ramp up intensity. Speed doesn't equate to power, and if anything, I feel that a slower feel is often more methodical and powerful. But here? The chorus to this song is sublime, and it feels like all three have been building up this boiling tension that finally explodes in this segment. It's so fucking good. And while she still demonstrates a more than competent grasp on how to project and emphasize, Suisei gets to let lose and go all out here. And for funsies, here's the backing harmony behind that whole segment:
I love shit like this. I cannot sing to save my life (god i wish i could) but over the years I've picked up a lot on how different vocalists construct their backing harmonies. It's not something most people think about, but carefully crafted layered vocals can really enhance, emphasize, and expand on a performance. They add so so much color and personality to an artist's style. Fuck y'all this shit is so cool.
_____________________________ Welp, that wraps it up for this one!! I hope you got to hear and learn something new, maybe pique or cultivate an appreciation for the intricacies that often bury themselves in the mixes you listen to. Or maybe you just thought it was neat, that's fine too xD I'd love to scream more and do similar breakdowns of other songs and vocalists, so I dunno, I may or may not already be plotting another one of these :3c

Could you please do another Gareth one please! It could be fluff or smut! Thanks :)
Gareth Dating HCS/ scenarios
Hello Anon!! Just a disclaimer to you I dont write smut and the Gareth fiction you saw was a reblog of another wonderful creator! (Full credits to them on the post!)
Warnings: mentions PDA and kissing, slight cursing, fluff, No pronouns mentioned, mentions to It (2017)
Masterlist, Request Guidelines, Request box
Tumblr media
When it comes to liking you I feel like hes one to just keep you as a hallway crush at first. Just embracing your presence from afar. He believes, it wont get any farther than you not knowing he exists, so he just accepts his fate. That is until he is forced by hellfire to stop being a "bitchboy" and make the first move.
His first move would be him slipping cute little "secret admirer" notes in your locker. He waits behind a wall near your locker and likes to see your cute reaction once you read it.
Before you started talking he subtly asked about you through your friends to learn about your interests. When he first sparks up conversation, (which he practiced in the mirror multiple times before doing so) he begins to talk about your favorite albums or compliment something you enjoy! His research shocks you but creates a bond between you both.
I'll leave how you both started dating up to you and your imagination or another fic but, he is a wonderful boyfriend.
Even if you don’t ask, Gareth is big on gift giving. He doesn't expect anything back (just your company) but some gifts might include...
Custom Mix tapes with your favorite songs, and songs that remind him of you, lots of love songs, maybe even drum covers if he has the equipment.
Pins LOTS AND LOTS of them.
Something you eyed in a store or happy ranted about
His necklaces or a matching one
Rings!! (i feel like hes a big ring guy)
More about rings...
He plays with yours if you wear any. Likes to swap rings (sometimes he gets it stuck on his fingers since your ring sizes are different)
He also seems like one to wear your ring on a necklace to show off to the club.
Gareth puts up a resting bitch face, but MELTS into your presence because he can't help himself to smile at you. Your perfect and how can he keep a tight frown when you're in the same radius as him?
I just have a strong feeling Gareth is a big music junkie so, music everywhere ALL the time. Portable music player, loud speaker, car stereo, etc.
He breaks his walk man often by jabbing it, if it isn't working (sometimes it fixes itself other times it breaks)
WILL JUMP SCARE YOU!! He feels guilty about it after and brings into a hug and twirls you around while pecking your cheek.
"I’m sorry babyyy, your reactions are just too cute, I had to"
(like Ben from IT 2017) I firmly believe Gareth is a secret New Kids On The Block fan thanks to his little sister(s). He refuses to tell anyone in hellfire about it and doesn't even tell you! You found out while looking through his tapes. The poor guy is super embarrassed about it and makes you swear not to tell anyone.
Gareth is a big brother and loves his younger siblings to death.
His siblings adore you, and like to make childish jokes about you and Gareth.
Very bubbly and funny with you. He feels most comfortable and most like himself when around you.
The type to sing into a hairbrush and give a dramatic performance in his room with you and you only.
Speaking of hair! He has a unbelievable amount of hair products and has a full routine that he is very proud of!
He adores when you ruffle his hair and will even place your hand on top of his head while cuddling, signaling you to ruffle his hair
May not be THE strongest, but will do his best to gut ANYONE who makes you uncomfortable.
Has little to no clothes that ARENT flannel.
Encourages you to let him teach you how to play drums!
You sit on his lap while his hands are on yours, slowly moving to the rhythm. Gets distracted sometimes and just melts into your touch and kisses your neck.
Would learn your favorite song on drums to impress you.
As much as he loves his drums, you could light them on fire and he wouldn't bat an eye. (he is WHIPPED for you)
Bonus points for you if you play guitar or even drums!! He loves watching you play, no matter how skilled you are,
At Corroded Coffin shows, he gets PUMPED to see you in the crowd and is immediately a static ball of energy. (to which Eddie needs to tell him to chill tf out)
Honestly, he always gets pumped to see you and starts doing happy jumps and smiles ear to ear.
Saves heavy PDA for more private areas but always has physical contact with you. He likes to know your with him!
Very respectful around adults, more importantly your parents/guardians. Ex. “uhm.. hello Ms. L/N, is Y/n available?”
Overall, Gareth is the sweetest boyfriend, like EVER. 
I HOPE THIS WAS ENJOYABLE ANON!! I have SOOOO much more Gareth head canons so feel free to request Gareth! (I am chronically head over heels for him right now) My master list and request box are both open and are linked at the top of this post! Thank you for supporting my writing! Have a wonderful day or night!
-Ahzy

15 people 15 questions
thanks @girlfriendline @giveemgreef @tblueger <333
1. are you named after anyone?
i am not! my middle name was an homage to my mom's grandparents but i have since changed it and my parents are blessedly allergic to otherwise naming anything after anybody
2. when was the last time you cried?
few days before christmas
3. do you have kids?
no and i do not want to. i have one fur baby (that i co-parent with my parents lmao) though as you all well know (scout my baby boy <3)
4. what sports do you play/have you played?
played kids' baseball/softball until i was like 10/11 bc i was constantly in the outfield and nobody can pitch until you get to like. high school. so it was boring and i hated it so i quit. i was on dance team for a while until i had to drop it bc recital dates kept being on the same days as school band concerts. was in marching band throughout high school, which counts bc i was a percussionist and had to lug around those heavy drum harnesses
5. do you use sarcasm?
a ridiculous amount. if we also count like comedic lying in this i accidentally convinced a coworker that there were only three seasons of spongebob doing that whole pretending that only the good parts of a show exist. such a shame spongebob ended after season 3. there's no more of it! just too bad
6. what’s the first thing you notice about people?
hair probably
7. what’s your eye color?
brown! medium tending towards dark
8. scary movies or happy endings?
while i love gothicness and gothyness i am a Known Weenie and certain types of gore literally make me feel faint. like the finale of the terror s1 made me a little faint and gave me the sweats and i had to fully pause the episode and lay on the floor for a while. so i guess categorically happy endings based on that. if a scary movie isn't super gory though i'll go for it
9. any talents?
i’m very performing arts inclined! i play piano, sing, dance, and act (was a theatre major in college). i memorize things quickly if i set my mind to it, am great at navigating, have great pitch memory (like i can be exactly or near-exactly on pitch when singing something i’ve heard before even without backing accompaniment. this unfortunately drives me crazy when people post pitch-shifted versions of songs and i can tell they’re off. bearer of the curse), decent stage combatant, good crowd weaver, and somehow bear the ability to unintentionally come off as intimidating to basically everyone i’ve ever met
10. where were you born?
iowa, usa
11. what are your hobbies?
i'm something of a gamer in my spare time. basically only solo joints though i'm not like gamer nhlers that play like. league of legends or fortnite or counterstrike. i've recently joined a community band and a bar trivia team (with my old middle school choir teacher lmao. he's a homie), i write fic every once in a while, read, dance around the house, go for walks when it's not cold, snuggle my pup, and obviously watch hockey. i keep telling myself i'm going to learn how to sew but trying to find beginner projects for men types is fucking dire and i keep not going out to get fabric for the pirate blouse i keep wanting to make rip
12. do you have any pets?
ah there's a separate question for this. scout, my yellow lab baby boy whose breeder had a confederate flag up in his barn when we got him (we saved you buddy). have some pictures
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
13. how tall are you?
5'5". short king territory
14. favorite subject in school?
i was a band/choir bitch. probably followed by english (literature). i liked basically all of it but phys ed though fuck that class i hate distance running it gives me a stitch in my side and you have to run a mile at least twice a semester (fuck you presidential fitness test). on top of all the other running they make you do. loved when they just did games though. matball my beloved
15. dream job.
actor, either stage or voice. unfortunately i do not want to live where the big voice acting studios are located and regional stage acting is kind of limited unless you go all the way out to chicago, which i tried for a couple of months before multiple breakdowns told me i should probably be closer to home. i enjoy being a librarian though :)
tagging @get-hockeyed-idiot @amandaleveille @wildaboutmnhockey @girldewar @letkirillfight @yes-perwallstedt if you guys haven't done it yet and also anyone else who wants to

15 Lines Game
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture their character/personality/vibe. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you’re free to include those as well.
Tagged by @alwayskote , thanks! This was a bit of a challenge because I couldn't decide on which OC I wanted to do, and then I wasn't sure if I had enough dialogue for them that encompassed the entirety of their personalities (;′⌒`)

"His name was Jelly." They say. "And I killed him because I asked him to come with me to the 501st…"
"She likes pats on her hind-quarters, like playing a drum… And don't give her anything even if she tries to beg, she's already been fed and she knows it."
“Not enough pay in the world to deal with you.” They snarl, bared teeth and a fire in their eye. “But I’m not about to let Rey'vod’s little stupid Ey'ika rot to death…”
“We all look alike to them! They get to have identities all of their own without having to fight tooth and nail to distinguish themselves, and we… We’re interchangeable! Just copies!” CT-2525 hated them. They hated them for it. For the unfairness of it all. “I thought he was my friend…”
“Gender identity is, in my opinion, much more important than what goes on between someone’s legs or inside their bodies. It’s who you choose to be that should precede all things. Even natural processes that would mark you in a different box.”
"He'll rest, I'll make sure of it…" Sponge huffed, a mischievous spark in those dark eyes of theirs. "If he doesn't, Beau will get him for me."
"You're both gross…" Sponge grunted in revulsion at the sight of Pitch and Coric speaking with their mouths full. "Have some manners…"
"That's why you use thick gloves when handling bitey critters and kih'vode." Sponge pointed out matter-o-factly.
“Next you’ll be telling me to sign my own decomm paperwork and deliver it to the Chancellor’s office while tap-dancing in clown shoes…”
“I can’t believe Crayfish is somehow less of a menace to society than Conch…” Sponge snorted. “I think it was better when we used to try to smother each other with a pillow. At least then whatever nonsense came out of his mouth was heavily muffled.”
"Nothing that glows in the dark is meant to be pretty." Sponge pointed out with an exasperated grunt. "It's meant to lure you to the light so that it can snag you unawares."
"Krell is sending us on suicide missions, and ignoring what viable options we have for a swifter less costly success! He's is KILLING us, and your response is to roll over and show him your belly like a dog?!"
"What else did you do Captain? Get on your knees for him? Suck his big fat Besalisk cock like the little bitch you are?!"
"Admit it, you're nothing but a sniveling coward who'd rather save his own skin than do the right thing by his vode!"
“Bitter resentment hasn’t set in yet. It’s what makes them better…” Sponge had seemed resigned to that, but not in a way that felt particularly bad. At least not from the way they’d sounded. “It’s our job now, to make sure those of us that are still so eager to hope can live freer lives than the ones we’ll surely live.”
Riot Trooper Olly Olly Oxenfree
“Is it as annoying as the ukulele you showed me last time? Or the recorder? Or the clarinet?”
“It’s… Not as indigestible as the last one…” The somber lullabies had filled him with melancholic feelings.
“If you keep thinking so hard, you’ll burn out the tiny lightbulb that lives inside your thick skull…”
“You need to take things slow Rhythm. Something will eventually pop up into that scattered brain of yours. Preferably, something he might actually find enjoyment out of… I can’t imagine what degenerate actually likes the banjo…”
“I’ve been told I’m very good at slapping away rapidly moving objects… I suppose it had to do with the fact Pretty Boy enjoyed throwing stuff at both myself and Lichtenberg during training…”
“….Rhythm, that’s a frog. Not a dog. And its eating the tablecloth…”
“My body hurts sometimes, big kriffing deal. It’d hurt from long shifts and violent altercations anyway…”
“This stupid condition is nothing special, so DON’T treat me like I’m made of KRIFFING glass…”
“I’m being pragmatic.” He rebuked bitterly. “I was going to die anyway… Every moment of my life as a cadet I knew I was going to die. Might as well make myself useful before I do…”
"The medbay is currently off-limits to anyone who is not a part of the Coruscant Guard, due to unforeseen circumstances involving both a lack of resources and equipment. If you have any injuries you may need tending to, I would suggest going to your own battalion medics, an on-planet hospital, or sucking it up and dealing with it instead of bitching about it."
“This is Cabur. She’s a shiro that I found in one of the upper floors in a public fountain…” He offered as a form of explanation. “And I’ve been looking everywhere for her. I was afraid she’d gotten lost.”
“…. You never asked.” Olly shrugged in turn.
“Turtles can’t catch rabies.” Olly pointed out calmly.
“The Phase I armour was perfectly fine…”
“I really shouldn’t be taking painting advice from a vod who put volume sliders on his own armour, only to then nearly deafen himself by playing loud music all day…”

Paring: Gareth Emerson x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Guns⋆ Blood⋆ heavy language⋆ Fighting⋆ A bad bitch⋆
Summary: Jason and his boys pay Garth a little visit which leads to a fight and little do they know Y/n doesn't play about her Garebear and she stays packed with the strap⋆
︻╦̵̵̿╤──
"WHERE IS HE"
"I DON'T KNOW"
"WHERE IS HE"
"I SAID I DON'T KNOW"
All the yelling caused me to jump up off the couch and walk over to the window, sure enough, it was Jason and his dickhead friends, some of them were holding Greg and the others were holding Jeff back, Meanwhile, Jason was holding Gareth by his shirt and yelling in his face, Then Jason blew a punch to Gareths stomach and threw him into his drumset, I saw red after that, I walked over to the closet by the back door and grabbed the all black AK-47 and loaded it, I walked out the Garage door and nobody seemed to notice me except for, Lucas Sinclair, why's he here, Eddie is so gonna get his ass for turning on the club, his eyes went wide and he shook his no. "HEY let him go man," Jeff said trying to wiggle his way out of the grip the two jocks had on him, Jason walked over and put his knee on Gareth's back and his foot on his fingers crushing them, My babies poor fingers, he needs those to put inside- On his drum sticks, he needs those to be able to hold his drum sticks. Jason added pressure to his fingers causing Gareth to let out a pained groan, "It's gonna be hard to play those drums with a broken hand" Jason yelled, I cocked my gun back causing all attention to turn towards me, even Gareths, My poor baby boy.
"Nobodies. breaking. SHIT." I said threw gritted teeth pointing the gun at Jason, He looked scared before that stupid cocky smirk took over his face.
"Y-You're not actually gonna shoot that thing are you," one of the jocks asked, Jason scoffed and rolled his eyes. "She won't shoot, look at her" all the jocks laughed, this made my blood boil "I don't miss," I said walking towards him, he backed away a little but kept his knee on Gareth's back, I looked down and he was looking up at me like I hung all the stars in the sky, I smiled and blew him a kiss, I turned and shot Jason's car causing them to yell and let go of the boys, Jeff and Greg ran behind me, Jason remand on top of Gareth even though he looked scared out of his mind, I blew the smoke from the end of my gun and turned back to Jason.
"That was just a warning shot" I smiled and walked closer to him placing the gun between his eyes, "you won't do it, you won't do it" he gulped looking at the gun, I laughed, "I suggest you get the FUCK out of here, Jason," I said letting go of the safety and cocking my gun again, "I pull this trigger and I blow your brains out" he let out a tear and put his hands up in surrender.
"I'll go- we'll go- just don't shoot, please," he said, I lowered the gun and he got off of Gareth who jumped up and stood beside me holding his hand in pain, I'll have to look at that later, My poor Garbear. Jason and his crew left and Greg shut the Garage door and Jeff started to fix Gareths Drumset, Me and Gareth walked back into the house, "Sit Here" I pointed towards the chair at the dining room table, he obeyed and sat while I got an ice pack out of the freezer and walked over to him grabbing his hand and putting the ice pack on his bruised hand. "lift you're shirt pretty boy" he listened as he lifted his HellFire shirt showing off the already forming purple and light brown bruise on his toned chest. "does it hurt?" I asked and he shook his head in response. he removed the ice pack from his hand setting it down on the table beside him. I was about to ask what he was doing but before I could get a word out I was being dragged to straddle his lap. "You have no idea how hard that stunt you pulled back there made me," he gripped my hips and pushed me down on his now noticeable bulge. as much as I wanted to take care of his hand and his bruised chest he was making me extremely wet, "Tell your friends to go home, then you meet me in the bedroom, I'll be waiting for you... Naked." I kissed his cheek and winked before making my way to his bedroom. I have never seen him move so fast in my life.

Happy WBW! (Delayed 😁) What is the musicality and musical environment like in your world? Do the people sing? Do they dance? Play instruments? How about your protagonist and company?
Happy WBW! Thanks for the ask. Let's go Robots and Gardens! Though I'd argue music is kind important to multiple worlds I've written.
Green my angry angry woman Green actually plays two instruments. She can play the kazoo and the harmonica. She loves them so much she actually bought both. Yes she can actually play the shitty plastic ones but she has an actual metal kazoo. Some would argue Green plays really goofy instruments, even most of the main characters agree. But ain't nothing goofy about blues and jazz. Which is a quiet favorite of Green's.
Peace can't play any instruments and isn't much of a dancer. But she'll hum along. I don't think she's really ever indulged in singing or wants to. But she likes the stuff Green plays.
Donnie my mute cyborg. He's a whistler. Quite the whistler actually. Just cause he's done it so long. It's a general communication thing for them but also just a thing they enjoy. He listens to music but typically whatever they're subjected to in their environment.
When Hollis figured out how the PA system (that thing you speak into so everyone can hear you) worked she would subject everyone to her music. She probably listens to Apocalyptica on a regular. She used to play keyboard/piano because a part of her family are music enthusiasts and her grandma forced her. She didn't hate it. Didn't enjoy it. She can play a singular song from memory. And is definitely a person who plays by ear. Which is definitely a skill you have to have if you want to play music in this world. I would force a fucking theramin into this woman's hands and see what comes out just cause. I think she'd like it way more.
Digits would probably fuck up a bass or some drums if her hands weren't bitches. Maybe I'll find a way to drag that in somehow. She can probably sum up her musical experience as, "One time we played a recorder in school. Never saw that bitch again. Never saw that lady again. Actually was that school?" She will drum her hands on surfaces, Hollis does it too. They can tag team. Her instrument is surface.
I wouldn't say music is as present as I make it in Fucked at Five. But it's there. Playing in between shows, parties, drowning out other sounds etc. If you watch sports in this world you listen to music. They blare the shit at games as a morale thing. It's easier to do than have actual cheerleaders when you have shitty air quality and an open arena. The crowd is singing and cheering. Good times. If you don't come home with smokey lungs afterwards.

okay hi. i hate being succinct (like someone that starts with alex and ends with bitch) but here are my summarized first thoughts on the album
mirrorball: hooked me in from first listen when it was released as a single, that repeating motif underneath the whole thing, the melancholy that seeps from the music and the lyrics, those strings at the end and alex's falsetto spat in my face and called me a bitch. 9.5/10
i ain't quite: it's good, it's a good song. the "waaa" harmony def scratches an itch, and the best part of the whole thing is "the spare set of tingles will race up your spine if i get it my way" but it kinda feels like it's building towards something that never quite delivers nvjdnjdnf maybe that's the intention. but you know. it's good but my least fave so far. 7/10
sculptures: WHAT IN THE HOLY FUCK IS THIS. god jvfnjdkjkcnfjnfj i'll never ever forget the first time i listened to this. my jaw was on the fucking floor. the instrumentals are orgasmic. fucking period. it made me cry And made me horny. alex's vocal delivery and the lyrics paired with the music give me such a pleasant eerie feeling if that makes sense. "gasp [gasp!] and roll your eyes" is so vndnjfnfjnjf and i'm fucking incoherent towards an indie rock British band Arctic Monkeys (tm) song having an honest to god bass drop. never ever thought this would be a direction they'd be interested in but i'm so glad they are. 10/10
jet skis: i've only had this song for a day and a half and if anything happened to it i'd kill everyone in this room and then myself. the funk-ish blues-ish tone of the guitar is my best friend. alex's voice is a warm hug. the lyrics are sooooo bittersweet. this is the one that stuck with the most after my first listen (along with sculptures ofc), "jet skis on the moat / they shot it all in cinemascope" (with the instrumentals underneath!) is such an earworm. 9.5/10
body paint: body paint. how do i even begin to explain body paint. alex's voice is really impressive in this, the chorus and the solo in the end fucking scalp me every time (also loved it from first listen as a single like mirrorball). the lyricssssssssssssssss kill me. i'm a sucker for the persona/character/double life thing, i've said it a hundred times lol so i'm def biased towards it. the only thing that keeps me from giving it a 10 is that they gave me a taste of what a full on out of the water true rock n roll outro sounds like in the live shows (esp the brussels one) and they took it away from me here, but i do understand why it's more subdued in the studio too as it fits the overall vibe of the album more. so. 9.5/10
the car: if this song was just the folk-ish fingerpicking (GOD THE FINGERPICKING) and drums motif it would still be amazing but they went beyond. FOR US. that distorted guitar at the end paired with the haunting strings is very climatic. i def still need some time with the words to maybe get closer to what he's getting at but i love them! 9/10
big ideas: i love you big ideas i love you. the piano stabs and the darker strings (cello and double bass) particularly stand out to me and tick me in such a specific way. god i can't. i've talked about the lyrics (it's been like a week and i already have matured my opinion on them nfjnjfvn) which are heartbreaking in a beautiful way. the crunchy guitar solo is heavenly. alex's chuckle after "we had them out of their seats" shot me right between the eyes. 9.5/10
hello you: oh why hello tlsp song what are you doing around these parts jnjfjnfvjg that keyboard thingy that opens it and that appears again in the chorus (how i wish i knew music theory lol) is very pleasing and the guitar backs it up beautifully. ALEX'S VOICE;;;; def a stand out in the album (esp "why not rewind to rawborough snooker club" godddddddddd). i also need some more time with the lyrics in this one to get more what's he's talking about here but i have my theories and they're devastating fvjfvnjgn. 9.5/10
mr schwartz: finger fucking picking man. but surprisingly my fave part about this track are the drums! i love how retro they sound. reminds me of some sort of specific 40s-60s vibe i'm not well versed enough in to pinpoint exactly what it is or what it'd be called. def bossa nova but not Just bossa nova you know? the lyrics are about the persona/character/double life thing so yeah yeah ofc i love them and the way they break my heart. great song. 9/10
perfect sense: this song sounds like a goodbye. need i say more????? "if that's what it takes for me to say good night then that's what it takes" what a fucking Gorgeous melody my god. this one also sounds like it had the potential to crescendo into a grandiose orchestral solo moment in the outro and then it didn't, which i'm still scratching my head about but i'm not that mad about it, bc in the end it's just such a sweet sweet tune (bittersweet, but more sweet than bitter i think). i love the way it sounds i love the way it makes me feel. they just get how to do closers man, they do! 9.5/10

the rolling of his eyes is good-natured, truly, if not oozing with a sense of lightly rattled nerves. he felt marginally better after seeing that husker could still move his limbs, heavy & uncoordinated as they were, as well as being able to elicit a low groan ; nearly a growl clawing up his throat & over his tongue. this was not a sight that angel was unfamiliar with, but husk wore it like a shirt that was too tight. constrictive & uneasy. even if husk drank himself sick & fell into the drumming hum of alcohol poisoning, it wouldn't do him in -- not forever. but dying was still such a bitch.
dying or simply getting too fucked up -- whatever the case may be, angel was worried. he didn't let the thought linger.
" c'mon, handsome. lemme see those eyes, will ya ? show me you can open 'em, an' maybe i'll get outta yer fur. ya' think yer gonna be sick ? i can grab ya' a bucket, maybe some water. hold yer hair back. " jokes were easy. making jabs at husk was easy.

BINGO!
I'm still in love with the pilot there's just So Much going on. thoughts under the cut because i don't shut up
starts with a classic voice-over! i miss the cheese sometimes. Abby is absolutely a main character in S1 and also i love her
Hen calling Bobby "Captain" with two syllables?? who ARE these people??
Buck and "c'mon kid" with that first victim, Buck and kids just a theme from the start huh? him sweettalking the tiny baby later just fucking GETS to me
Bobby's "I've been where you are, I know how you feel" to the jumper?? s o b b i n g 😭 we see later that you can't always trust a story Bobby tells to a victim but this one? yeah this one is real and it hurts
also not reaching out for Bobby's hand vs Devon in the next episode!! I'm not counting this for the """foreshadowing""" square btw because I was explicitly meaning this to be unintentional-looks-hilarious-in-retrospect stuff, not legit storytelling
didn't remember that the audience got Bobby's backstory way way before the team!
"some are sex addicts" immediate scene transition into firehose!Buck!! love it when they do Scene Transitions with capital letters. the "can I get your actual number" bit hurts, I knew I was going to fall for Buck from here p much
"oh dang" Buck is SUCH a fucknig frat bro omg
"THIS IS NOT A FAMILY" says Bobby, you know, like a LIAR
"see the fire, put out the fire, the rest is blah blah" oh Buck you complete fool
Chim: "you know you're not helping him by going easy on him ... I'll remind you of that after he gets you killed" OUCH
the whole scene with Athena and Buck outside the hospital? yeah that's when I knew for sure I was gone for Buck. because he's a punk ass frat boy and literally every other character knows it and is not going to put up with his shit. as soon as he did his confident psshh demeanour and the camera panned to everyone else deeply unimpressed? chef's kiss, perfect. you know they're gonna buff those rough edges right out and he's gonna be a giant fucking softie all the way through
Michael & Athena's arguments were also when I knew I was down bad for the whole show because there's actual fucking NUANCE in them, they both have points, there's no easy answer
Buck: "as far as I'm concerned the world started the day I was born"
Hen's "why is [violence] always the first option for you white boy macho tough guys?" i love her i love her
also still not over Buck's ARMS in his "I always choose to save the more attractive one" scene like REALLY please
deeply in love with bitchy Bobby this episode. why DON'T we talk about what a bitch he is more??? straight up calls Buck a moron, his line about Athena saying Buck is an asset and him saying she's half right??? ICONIC. I'm counting this as a fanon violation honestly
Hen also is perfect, marching to the beat of her own drum as always "for what it's worth everyone things this sucks" / "it's my own fault" / "yeah, everyone thinks that too", i love her. also "I told [Bobby] he should just get a dalmatian instead" pffffft "I'm legit sorry to see you go, you got some skills, just not a lot of discipline" my boy has adhd and Hen reads him for filth so fucking fast
Buck with his "you're the real hero here" for Abby is perfect, he's a sweeheart, I ship them so hard in season 1 they're delightful together
Tumblr media
Best look: ruffled firehose Buck in the engine obv, interesting that we barely get anyone in civvies
Worst look: the unflattering dispatch polos
Character notes: Bobby is "50 years old" though it would be fair to take that as a general estimation rather than an exact number, "lost a decade of my life in and out of rehab ... back in the job 18 months"
Chim is terrified of snakes and Hen apparently Knows Snake Facts
Buck knows neither Rambo nor Conan the Barbarian

hi!! hope you’re having a good day :) what are some things you’d like to see or expect to see in season 5? 🥰
hello! i hope you're having a good day, too! :D
the list of things that i want is excessive and the list of things that i will genuinely allow myself to truly sit down and expect when i go to press play on s5 is nonexistent. so... !! i'll go for a happy medium, which is... (drum roll, please) 🥁🥁🥁 henry and will interactions.
i am trembling like a damn chihuahua at just the thought of it. not only because they're foils, because this show begins with them, because there's a reason the upside down is a version of hawkins "stuck in time" on the day will went missing and henry knows it, or because the third time that will fights back will surely be the charm, but... because it's just so fucking juicy.
because this is the man that's been after him this whole time. because jamie and noah are acting powerhouses that'll overwhelm me before their scenes together even start. because it's monster vs human, man vs boy, past vs future, despair vs hope, hate vs love, dark vs light, predator vs prey, big bad vs underdog.
because once again will is going to have to look evil in its face and fight for his life. because once again i will have the absolute pleasure of watching characters go batshit because of how much they love him and want to save him. because there's so much going on in will's mind right now after everything and henry is in there with him. because henry is fighting a war against the world, killing, and seething, and planning, and infecting this town with his cruelty, and will has to feel all of it with him through their connection. because SOMETHING is going to have to sever that connection eventually and it's GOING to be something Big and Dramatic because it's been years and somehow after everything, even after removing the particles from his body, he's still connected and he was before the mind flayer ever even came into the equation. because something happened that we're not entirely aware of to make it so.
because henry is evil, manipulative, and exact. because will is good, kind, and pure of heart. because henry is going to try anything to take him back and will is never going to go willingly. because henry wants to kill everyone but him and god fucking dammit I WANNA KNOW WHY!!! (SCREAMED WHILE GRABBING HENRY'S VINES N PULLING ON THEM LIKE A MONKEY WOULD THE BARS OF HIS ENCLOSURE) LET ME IN YOU DIRTY OLD BITCH I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE SEEN I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS WILL DID THAT MADE YOU WANT TO SPARE HIM I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HE DID THAT MADE YOU WANT TO KILL ELEVEN WHO IS UNDOUBTEDLY STRONGER THAN YOU AND KEEP HIM INSTEAD I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MAKES HIM SPECIAL WHEN HE'S SUPPOSEDLY JUST A REGULAR HUMAN IN EVERYONE'S EYES WHAT IS IT WHY IS HE THE CHOSEN ONE WHY HIM AND WHY YOU GRRRRRR LET ME IN YOU SICK BASTARD GIVE ME THE GODDAMN LORE OR I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD—

18. Excuse Me Miss
Ivan's judgemental tone didn't help Ivy in all her fear and anxiety. Her hands trembled on their own as she closed the curtains in the room.
"You don't even know if he's dead," Ivan taunted. The thought sent chills through Ivy. She could very well be paranoid at this point and acting irrationally with the running and looking over her shoulder, but after what she'd been through she had a reason to feel the way she felt. That dentist was batshit and had abducted her twice.
"What the hell you want me to say? I was scared Ivan. I never been in this situation, have you?"
"You had him down. You should've made sure he was dead right there on the spot and then found mom and you wouldn't be going through this shit."
Ivan blamed Ivy and it made her uncomfortable with guilt because she too blamed herself.
"You left her there with a murderer."
"My ass was shook bitch! What the hell.. I couldn't.. Ivan!" Ivy's shaking turned to anger. "..How was I supposed.. What if he grabbed me?"
"Then you beat his ass with the blunt object you knocked him down with, Ivy! It's not that hard to get."
"He's like 6'2 / 250, Ivan," Ivy spoke with tight lips. "Maybe your crack body beanpole ass could knock him out but my 4'11 ass already been drugged twice and carved like a pumpkin. You expecting a whole lot outta me."
"Aight. I ain't tryna fight with you."
"Then why you fighting with me, Ivan? Did you forget--" Ivy shut her mouth quick and rubbed her lips toward her temple feeling a headache creeping on. She was about to go off but she still needed him to come asap and he was fickle. "It's easy to say what you would do in my position but until you're actually here? You can shut the fuck up. You don't think I'm mad at myself? I am. I feel like I could've done more. I could've gotten her out. She didn't deserve or ask for any of this. She only in it because of me."
Ivy couldn't hold it back the tears as they fell. She was going through many emotions at once and Ivan wasn't helping.
"You should be mad at yourself, you abandoned mom. What if he slice her ass up too? What if he kill her, how will you feel?"
Ivy's eyes shut tight.
"Ivan please just come and get us," Ivy groaned, feeling her anxiety grow. "I'll get you some money when you get here, on God."
"I was coming anyway," he said, but Ivy knew it was a damn lie. His selfish and dodgy ass never showed up for anyone, not her, mom, his kids, or anyone else. It was always all about Ivan if it wasn't about the money.
"You want me to stay on the phone?"
"Nah, I ain't got no sleep and I need to eat. You could pay for that if you wanna do something."
"You could pay for that," he mocked. Ivy nearly hung up the phone. She didn't have the energy. "Sorry," Ivan backtracked after a pause. "I'm being a asshole, I know. You left my mother, I'm tight af about it but I'm glad you made it out.. So it ain't about that aight? I am glad you out. I'm a send you some food. You gone be aight okay."
"Yeah.. He's tricky but I think I'm okay here. I'll call you from the hotel phone."
Ivy hung up and held her head. She paced before requesting some rubbing alcohol be brought up from the front desk which she used for her thigh. It stung but she needed to do something for it.
"If he's not dead, I'll make him wish he was," she sighed through the burn. At least it wasn't infected.
---
"I wonder if her leg has any signs of infection," Erik wondered pulling the flashing cruiser lazily into a hotel parking space. According to the gas station attendant and the Locate iPhone situation he'd drummed up nearly two hours ago, Ivy was crashing in a Days Inn and had done well not staying at any nearby hotels. In fact, if she had stolen the phone of someone less tech savvy, maybe an old man.. she'd have escaped him. It was just her luck she stole the wrong person's phone.
Or maybe she thought he was dead.. his mouth turned up at the thought. Maybe she wasn't careful or running but simply distancing herself from the situation.. the nightmare in her now past. In that case, she was a bad, bad girl running out on her poor moms without a second thought.
Maybe he'd surprise her. The thought lit his face in the darkest way. He could imagine her shock when she saw him a little banged up and a little bloody, but alive and in the flesh.  He only had to figure out where she was inside the Days Inn. It wouldn't be difficult with a badge.
Aside from that, he had a rag and some chloroform. He rattled through his bag.. He already had an Arduino, a DC barrel jack, and a 5.6k resistor that he began to connect and configure together inside of a sharpie dry erase marker in order to build himself a master key for breaking and entering. Google was a great resource. All of these things were easy to get his hands on and he didn't need to be a programmer or tech expert to build it himself, though he did know a few things already which helped. He only needed directions and the guide video he'd found on a website. The key building only took about thirty minutes and was fairly easy he found. He turned it over in his palm and shoved it in his pocket. With this small dry eraser sized tool, he could enter any hotel room at a whim even after he was through with Ivy. In fact, he could probably even find his next canvas this way. Suddenly he was inspired to move faster.
Confident as ever, he approached the desk and gestured to the T. Howard on his glorified name tag. Angling his head down, he caught the concierge's eye. "Don't ask," he gestured to his rough appearance.
"Long night?"
"I'm responding to a domestic violence call, one of your rooms. I didn't get the exact number but I'm looking for an Ivy Stevens."
"Oh no." The guy located the room on the computer system, no questions about it. "That's happened before but not on my shift, it's so sad." He gave Ivy up as quickly as Erik had gotten there.
As if on cue, arriving on the floor, Erik heard a door close and an idea struck him.
"Excuse me miss," he whispered jogging slowly to approach the white woman leaving a room down the hall. She glanced around a bit nervously, looking for son or husband perhaps. The police badge ought to make him look trustworthy, he figured. Then again.. he did have some marks on him. A cut under his eye. "Duty calls," he shrugged. "I need your help surprising my fiance," he rushed flashing a smile that seemed to ease her just a little. "She's right over there. She doesn't know I'm here to see her. She thinks I'm working all night but I came just to surprise her. Would you help me? Five seconds."
She stood hesitant before marching on and he clubbed her in the back of the head with his fist catching her before she could fall. Taking her room key, he let himself into her room and stowed her limp body in the bathroom tub.
"Thanks," he whispered, hands folded in appreciation as he looked down on her body. He pulled out his homemade tool deciding to test it on the door of this old woman's room first. Using it was as easy as jamming it into a port under the door lock. The door unlocked and he popped it open.
"Aw shit," he whispered closing the door. Endless possibilities were in his hand. He could walk into any room. However, tonight he only needed to enter one more. It was finally time.
Slowly he approached Ivy's door and stood in front of it, his excitement building from the sneaky energy. He popped the door open quietly, spotting an empty room. He pulled his pocket knife and walked forward closing the door slowly and quietly behind himself.
The shower was running, he could hear, and when he crept up and peaked into the bathroom, she was in it.
Quickly, he marched into the bathroom and reached through the curtain wrapping her neck with his inner elbow and her mouth with the chloroform rag while lifting her off her feet. She was small and portable but the fight she put up was notable. She deserved her credit for trying.
