#idk joe just makes her so happy and i love it

[straightfromthetorturedpoetsdept]

the fact that joe worked with taylor on folklore and evermore and the idea that he possibly helped taylor accept her queerness makes me very emotional

Yeah, I forgot that while I was writing my post but you're totally right. He did help her on 3 albums now, it's very sweet and emotional.

Like, she looks so happy even im the pap photos with Joe. Like, I think it was definitely a planned pap walk to leave an easter egg for the interview that aired a little later on. Like, the fact that he helped her stage an easter egg publically, that makes me so fucking emotional.

He's so supportive of her career in every way, I love that he is realistic about love too. Unfortunately, when you get in a relationship you're still left with the knowledge that you once thought all your exes were the love of your life and the trauma that comes along with that is often given space in a healthy relationship to be processed without judgment or anxiety that it's going to end you if you're honest about your emotions in that moment.

It's so beautiful, sweet nothing is a song about your partner not wanting anything from you, just your presence. That's the unspoken moral of the poem, they're both in the kitchen cooking dinner probably and just existing together at the same time, on the same page, in perfect harmony in a universe that is unknowing, unfeeling and deadly in 99% of it and they don't need to do anything but just be together to be happy.

It's so beautiful, she is so happy and in love with him and I am so happy for them and I hope everyone finds that same moment some day, even platonically it doesn't have to be romantic. Every one should experience that feeling of this person doesn't need anything but my presence so I'm going to be the best version of myself for them. It's really giving if you shine, I'll shine for you ✨️ 💛

I was going to end it there but even just like she used to dream about being famous and finding prince charming (maybe prince charming was John meyer... superstar, superman fit- the change from star to man is really depressing actually) and then she got to wonderland and realized it's fucking nothing like it seemed in the movies.

Like, she used to sing about music being her kingdom (long live) and then in reputation, she really changed its meaning completely to be romantic love and that double meaning is only further highlighted in hoax. The lyrics themselves are very telling, because canonically look what you made me do comes before king of my heart.

In speak now, in particular, there is a certain unreleased song with lyrics going around that if true, would strengthen my lyrical analysis of this change because this song would be the bridge between her kingdom changing from fame into love and fame changing from kingdom to the woods. Taylor is a very visual person, so in my mind- a movie about her life looks like a girl who sees herself as a princess stranded in normal people land but her prince charming-meyer- is going to save her from boredom (which i think she means loneliness with this metaphor) and take her to her kingdom, fame for her music and her songwriting in particular.

But once she met prince charming, she realized he was the devil in the disguise and now she's stuck in the woods, with no way out. It's why folkmore takes place/is centered around leaving the woods.

Her kingdom is now very simple. It's her house with her lover and idk it's just all so beautiful.

lmg omg omg:: idk if anyone has requested this ficlet or not but what about house hunting in saint albans with Less, finding the right house and then r and less just having a moment at the front door where Less just is quiet and looking at the interior r hugs her from behind and Less is a bit homesick and stuff but r invites tooney and joe round without less knowing to make her feel more at home

homesick. | Alessia Russo

“So.. what do you think? Is this the one?” You questioned excitedly as you wrapped your arms around Alessia from behind as she stood still, investigating once again with her eyes.

“I love it..” She sighed, leaning her head back on your shoulder before you pressed a kiss to her temple.

You had been at arsenal for a couple of seasons now, whereas your girlfriend had just moved, still trying to adjust to the reality of moving away from home.

You owned a small flat which you knew needed a lot of work done, however you contemplated moving instead of doing it up.

“Hey.. we are going to try and make it as homely as possible, okay? I know it’s hard but we’ll make it work.”

“It’s just, i’ve been gone for a week and it’s already hitting me and i don’t know how i can get rid of this feeling. As much as i love you and being with you, i miss manchester.” She let the tears spill as she let out her frustration, refusing to look at you as she pulled away. The reality hitting.

“I know and i won’t hold you against it, it’ll get better lessi, i promise. I don’t blame you.” You reassured, gently placing your fingers around her wrists to pull her hands away from her face.

You wiped your thumbs across her cheeks and muttered sweet nothings as you leant your forehead against hers, the tears not yet stopping.

You only got to move into your own home a few weeks later, after trying to work around your cramped apartment as a couple.

You had managed to spoil her senselessly in those weeks, trying desperately to liften her spirits. Over the years, you had noted down every little scenic cafe you’d thought she’d like and took her to one everyday as well as buying her every single thing she showed interest in.

The worst of it all, however, was the ikea trip, she seemed to love it but you didn’t but anything that made her happy made you, even if your back was aching.

Although, it had been a couple of days since moving in, you could still sense the unsurety of her surroundings and you felt a little bit helpless.

“Who are you texting?” You questioned as you laid down two cups of tea on your new coffee table, noticing Alessia’s smile fade on and off.

“Ella, she’s updating me about everything in manny.”

“Ah, what’s happening?”

“Nothing much, they’ve gone out for dinner and she was just talking to me about Joe.” She rolled her eyes at the last mention, finally placing her phone down to focus fully on you.

“You okay?” You asked as her eyes fluttered, picking at her freshly manicured nails which she moaned at because they weren’t as good as her usual.

“Mhm.”

“Do you want a cuddle?”

“Mhm.”

You shuffled closer to her when she repeated herself, wrapping your arms around her neck and resting your chin on the top of her head.

Her fingers fiddled with your necklace as she tucked her head into your neck, distracting herself from the overflow of emotions she felt, she didn’t want to seem selfish.

Even though it was silent in the room, you could tell there were tears rolling down her cheeks, the light shakes vibrating from her body giving it away.

“Do you want me to call someone else, lotte maybe?” You whispered into the silence, the movie on the TV temporarily paused.

“Why?” She sniffed.

“Just wondered if you wanted a different face around..”

She lifted her face up to yours, the affect of her feelings taking hold of your expression made her lip wobble more, she didn’t want to feel like this. Pin it all on you.

“I don’t mean it like that, Y/N. You know i don’t..”

“I know.. i’m just worried.” Huffing, you looked away, reaching for the remote and Alessia looked upon helplessly, deciding to place her head back on your now stiff shoulder.

You knew you had to do something to sort this out, make Alessia feel like Alessia again. Otherwise it’ll affect your relationship, the only relationship she feels entirely comfortable in as of now.

Whilst Lessi’s focus was on the animated film she had asked for you to put on, you concentrated on your phone to try and come up with a solution.

You couldn’t lie, but you did look it up on google with the search being; ‘how to make your girlfriend not feel homesick.’

After miles of searching and quietly listening to people’s stories on tik tok, you decided to do what you were planning to do. Bring in some new faces.

She accepted the invited pretty much straight away before going on to admit her concerns for her best friend, willing to make the drive to make her feel somewhat better.

Sighing contentedly, you placed your phone down on the arm of the sofa and nestled down slightly, pulling your girlfriend in tighter as you now focused on the tv with no idea as to what was happening.

“What’s going on?”

Alessia snorted in reply before mumbling out the basics, throat still hoarse from earlier.

You decided not to tell her about Ella and Joes suspected arrival that following saturday, only instructing her to get dressed as you were having an ‘at home date’. However, you knew she was a bit suspicious to the amount of food you were cooking.

“Can i help?”

“No, go sit down in the living room. I have it all under control.” You pushed at her shoulders gently before you heard a loud bubbling noise, rushing towards the stove as Alessia giggled.

“As i said, all under control.” You smiled over your shoulder before you were interrupted by a knock at the door. “Can you get that, please?”

“Are we expecting anyone?” She asked, mostly to herself as she made her way down the hallway.

She opened the door with a blank face before looking at the arrival, furrowing her eyebrows as she took in her best friend who was expectedly waiting for her to be allowed in.

“What..” She scoffed a laugh. “What are you doing here?”

“We came to see you, silly, now come on let us in. I have the alcohol.” Her broad mancunian accent brought familiarity back to alessia, crashing into Ella for a tight hug.

“Alessia, sweet. Let them in.” You spoke before saying your hellos to joe and ushering him into the living room as well as taking the bottle of wine from Ella before leaving them to themselves for a minute.

“Alessia, as much as this is lovely, i can barely breathe.”

“Sorry.. i just missed you.”

“I’ve missed you too, but i’m here now. We’ll be having to get used to these trips, they’ll be weekly.”

Alessia giggled as she shuffled on her feet, allowing Ella to actually come inside before kicking the door shut.

“You okay?”

“Yeah, you?”

“Properly, are you okay? A little bird told me that you haven’t been doing well with the move.” She pushed Alessia’s hair over her shoulder, picking off a strand that laid rested on her shoulder.

“Is that the only reason you’re here?”

“What? No, i was planning to come down here anyways, it’s just that Y/N is very worried about you.. and so am i.”

Alessia stared at Ella before directing her view towards her fingers, which she was anxiously twisting.

“It’s.. it’s just hard and i’m annoyed with the way i’m handling it because i’m a professional, i should know how to deal with these situations but i just.. can’t.. and it’s pissing me off.”

“Lessi, you shouldn’t be annoyed at yourself because you can’t settle into a routine your not used to with a snap of a fingers.” She mimed as she said so, reassuring the vulnerable girl in front of her. “You’re human, everyone goes through it. Even i didn’t when i moved from city to united, and that’s in the same city.”

Ella watched as her smile was reformed, taking her hands in hers before mentioning that you probably need help in the kitchen from the amount of profanities she can hear.

The night was perfect for Alessia, you think it was the most she had smiled over the last coming days, eagerly joining in with whatever conversational topics were flown over the table. Never one being football.

A smile was drawn on your face for the entirety, catching yourself admire Alessia and her homely giggle as it reappeared once again, and that was all you needed.

Joe Liebgott x Reader.

two times Joe doesn’t want to come to you, and the one time he does… tw - swearing, talks of war and wounds, ptsd, 1940s terms, some descriptions of war and death but nothing too intense. I keep deleting and rewriting parts but I’m just not so happy with the ending, idk :/

The Crossroads, October 1944. “Joe… go see Nurse Y/l/n once you’ve done this.” Winters told him. “Yes, sir.” Yeah right. The last person who he’d be taking a visit to was Y/n, especially like this- all wound up and wounded. He’d report to nurse Smith instead, the other nurse for 2nd battalion to who he didn’t have such an… attachment towards. You see, it wasn’t that Joe disliked her. It wasn’t that at all. In fact it was more the complete opposite- his bond with Y/n was something he’d never experienced before. To get to the point, he was in love with her. But Joe refusing to be seen as anything other than the alpha male meant he sacrificed one vital human emotion when he was around her. Vulnerability. So instead of doing at Winters ordered, he simply stood a couple meters away from the aid station (it was a brick house they’d taken over) and just stared in contemplation. Joe had seen all the nasty side effects wound infections could cause, plus, he didn’t want to be taken off the line- but dammit he was fine. Just as he made the decision to turn back around, a voice called out. Joe stood, his shoulders tense as he stared up at the ‘aid station’. It was just a stolen brick, house which people once lived in. Now, the wounded took over, bleeding to death inside the walls. He felt himself shudder once at the thought and dammit- he was fine he didn’t need to bother you whilst you were hard at work with some scratch. Joe began to turn around, ready to head back in the other direction when he heard your voice calling out. Perfect timing.

“Joe!” She’d spotted him from a mile off, first from out the window, and secondly when she came to the door to retrieve the lost looking boy. “Joe, what’re you doing?” Her voice was gentle, yet somewhat laced with worry. He internally sighed at his inside melting into goo at the sight of her. He watched the way her brows knotted as she reached up, running her fingers over the bandage and grazing the warmth of his skin.

“What happened?” God she was angelic, Liebgott could’ve easily fallen into her arms if it wasn’t for- “oh my god, what did you do?!” Her concern peaked, pulling on his arm to take a better look.

“M’ fine, it’s nothin’. Winters sent me to Nurse Smith.” He muttered, it was a lie, one he felt horrible about as well. As soon as her brows perked and he watched the breath get caught in her throat, he knew he’d been caught out. “Oh. Nurse Smi- Alice left like an hour ago. Winters orders- so I don’t think… I don’t think he’d send you to her.” For the first time she felt jealousy towards her friend. A lingering pang of pain and sadness, one that she didn’t conceal very well and Liebgott could immediately sense he’d hurt her feelings.

“Um… but I’ll go get one of the guys for you, Spina was free last I checked.” Great. In all his stubbornness, he’d somehow wound up and turned this into backfiring on her. “Y/n/n-”

“No. It’s fine, Liebgott. I’m busy anyway…”

December 1944, Bastogne.

Blowing on her hands, Y/n cupped them together, eyes scanning around the town as she pulled her shoulders up, body rigid with the baltic temperatures of Bastogne. Her boots crunched under the snow with each step, and she was careful to walk around the piles of bodies that lingered the side of the streets. She was a mix between on the lines with second battalion and back in the town, taking care of the hundreds of wounded or mentally disturbed soldiers, haunted by the traumas of the battle. Even leaving the make-do infirmary couldn’t get her away from the horrors of war. Somehow, Y/n preferred being on the lines, at least then she was with familiar faces, ones she trusted and knew. She slowed to a halt when a familiar face stood not too far ahead of her. Her breath became caught before she let out a slight laugh, relieved for the first time in days to see somebody she cared so deeply for.

“Joe.” The relief on her voice was evident, his name was light and airy and lingered in the cold air that surrounded them. Joe’s head turned, heart stolen by the voice. The finger that had been batting against his thigh momentarily stopped, the last person he wanted to see here was her- surrounded by death, bombings. He didn’t even register the warmth he felt at the sight of her. The colour of her eyes were a stark contrast to the white of the snow below, yet they were rimmed with dark circles, red and puffy. You see, Liebgott recognised straight away how far she’d wandered, completely alone, standing no taller than an adolescent. If a Kraut caught her out here- well… Liebgott didn’t even want to think of what potentially may happen.

“What’re you doing out here?” He squinted, shaking his head in utter confusion. He felt angry, pissed off that such a fragile thing could be caught in the crossfire out here. He was already riled up, being moved to CP runner which had still yet to ease his stress. Her smile faded, and she momentarily just watched back up to him, feeling as though her relief wasn’t mutual. Liebgott looked tired, pale, just a shell of his previous self. “Well I’m stationed in the town today.” Y/n’s voice quietened noticing the strange way Joe looked at her. Usually she’d be met with smiles, hugs, relieved greetings on his behalf. He’d grin and call her sweetheart or doll- something she selfishly wanted to hear in that moment. “In the town, so what the hell are ya’ doin’ out here?” Usually Joe wouldn’t be this… harsh. Not with anybody, especially not to Y/n. “I just came for a walk.” She recognised how stupid that sounded as soon as she spoke. You don’t just go for a walk in the middle of war. But she wasn’t being silly, she didn’t even realise how far she’d trekked out.

“Well, why’re you out here?” She quickly chimed, preventing Liebgott from inevitably telling her off. He’d been extremely on edge recently, more so than the other men out here.

“Go back to town, Y/n.” Joe sighed, blowing out smoke from his cigarette. She winced at the harshness of his words, looking at the red band on his arm. CP runner. “Winters sent you back here?” She tried again. He finally looked at her, chewing on the inside of his lips.

“Yeah.” He finally responded, glancing around for any danger. “I gotta get this back to battalion.” He half-arsed lifted up a letter. Her eyes followed it, before falling back down to the snow below her. She gasped slightly, feeling something beneath her shoe, quickly recognising it to just be nothing more than a rock. Liebgott watched in concern, hearing a snapping sound from the right of him. It was instantaneous, he grabbed hold of her coat, keeping her behind him with gun held up in the other.

“Relax.” Out walked a guy from D-company. He’d obviously just been taking a shit or something in the woods- but he’d almost wound up shot.

“Dammit.” Liebgott dropped his gun, teeth clenched as the man disappeared back around the corner, towards the time. He could handle the idea of himself being hurt, but not her. It was too risky out here- he was angry at her for even being out here in the first place.

“Go back to the town would ya?” He snapped, voice raised as she stared back to him wide eyes. “Joe-” “No! Just get outta here! What’re you stupid for walking here in the first place?” Her mouth fell agape, breaking all eye contact and feeling her head begin to shake in complete disbelief. “No? Yes? Just leave!” Joe was completely unrecognisable, deep down she knew he was somewhat telling the truth- but he was so mean, the tears pricked way too fast in her eyes.

“We lost 10 guys in the last hour.” As soon as her voice wobbled she gulped the sensation away. “So forgive me for being happy to see you.” His blood ran cold, the minute she turned around Joe held his head in his hands, groaning. What a weird way to tell a girl you love her? Right…

May 1945, Austria.

Joe minded his business as he strolled through the streets of Austria. He’d just finished a gruelling course in preparation to be shipped out to the pacific. Despite the calmness that was here, most men were still on edge about the continuation of the war. Like most things, Joe just grumbled about it a couple times and got on with it. If they wanted him to fight the Japanese, he’d be just as brutal as them, there’s no way Easy would go through all that shit in Europe just to be sent out to the shitty- “Woah!” Joe dramatically spoke, stumbling over something as he completely didn’t watch where he was going. He heard somebody gasp from below him, a light voice, one belonging to a woman.

“Ow.” No other than Y/n sat there, perched on a rock as she looked out to the serene views ahead of her. She grasped at her ankle, wincing at the pain of where the soldier had practically stood on here. When Joe spun around, he felt his breath get caught in his throat seeing who it was.

“Y/n!” He panted out, recognising the tear stains down your cheeks. Oh fuck, he was just a klutz! Now he’d made you cry- potentially not for the first time either. “Shit, I’m sorry sweetheart, did I hurt you bad? Fuck, I’m sorry.” Crouching down, he placed a hand on her shoulder, constantly glancing between her face and ankle. What Joe didn’t realise at first was that her tear stains were old. Her eyes were slightly puffy from crying and he’d interrupted something. “No. It’s okay, you just scared me.” She pulled her leg back with a wince. “No, don’t be silly, here let me see.” Joe let out a sad kinda laugh, she smiled only a little, allowing him to outstretch her leg again. It had been months since the two were close, they’d grown apart in the war, Joe’s lack of ability to show vulnerability had pushed her further and further away until they were no more than old acquaintances. “I’ll be fine, Joe.” She let out a chuckle, amused by her own ability to get caught up in something unlucky. She figured she’d be alone out here, now here Liebgott was trying to massage her ankle.

“Are you sure? You- you don’t look it…” his voice lowered, watching through his eyelashes. She forced another half smile before her head dropped, “it’s okay, Joe.” He sensed she was doing the exact same thing he did to her all those months ago. “Hey, no. C’mere.” Moving around, he perched besides her on the rock, unable to help himself from wrapping an arm around her in comfort.

“You good? Did I hurt your ankle that bad, kid, or have I just interrupted somethin’?” She let out a sad laugh again at his words, wiping under her eyes. “I’m just… I’m just scared for the pacific.” Her chest felt lighter when she spoke those words. With the twig she had in her hand, she continued poking at the mud below, averting Liebgott’s gaze which cascaded over her face. For a moment he was stumped, his heart was beating at a furious speed and oh god- he was fuckin’ nervous. Not the time to be nervous when she was crying in his arms. He opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed them away before letting out a sigh, looking across the beautiful lake ahead of them.

“I don’t wanna do it anymore, y’know. And they’re… brutal over there.” She spoke up once more, fingers writhing together as she finally glanced up to him. When he did look back he felt his heart shatter to meet her glassy eyes.

“I know.” Was all he could manage at first, watching over her face as she waited for his response. “If anything’s good practice it’s being on the front lines though, right?” He attempted as she felt a breath of laughter leave her throat at his comment. Joe’s face turned slightly, visibly cringing at his response.

“Ah, shit Y/n/n, but seriously, we’re all gonna be there together, y’know. You’ve gotta whole company willingly to die before they let anything happen to ya’.” He squeezed her reassuringly to which she sadly laughed again, assuming he was being lighthearted.

“No, I’m serious. Look, kid, I know if it’s between me and you- I’m jumpin’ in front of ya.” He admitted without even thinking, this time it was her gaze on him. “I’d do the same for you.” Joe froze, not expecting the mutual terms of their speech. Something had softened inside of him, that fluttering in his stomach had returned in full force- it never really left, just dulled from the years of war and pushing her away. She felt her breath become heavy, blinking over his handsome face.

“Well, that’s if you’d actually want me around you.” She pathetically attempted to joke, wiping under her eyes to prevent her mascara from running any further. “What?” Joe’s head snapped up, meeting her gaze. “Hey, I always want ya’ around me, don’t be silly.” He spoke again, hand cautiously landing on her knee. “No but… I thought you didn’t like me.” The words caused something inside Joe’s chest to pang and twinge sharply. “Course I like ya.” The words fell more serious than be intended. “I wanna be around you all the time.” Y/n swooned at his words, still painfully head over heels for him all these years later. Her hand slipped into his, feeling his larger fingers squeeze a little around hers. “You didn’t seem like that before…”

“Ah, I was just being a dick.” He shrugged. “Sorry.” He glanced down to his lap momentarily. “I don’t hold it against you. I just- I just thought you never felt the same.” Her jaw tensed, head feeling hot at her sudden admission of feelings. Joe felt the corners of his lips tug teasingly.

“You wanna hang out with me later? Like just us two.” Finally, he saw a smile reach up to her eyes. It was a genuine kind, one that he didn’t think he’d actually seen in a real long time.

“Yeah, I’d like that.” Turning down, she wiped under her eyes once more, past worries seemingly forgotten about. She let out a giggle as he watched her with nothing short than pure delight. “I can’t believe I cried.” “I’ve seen a whole lot worse doll, don’t worry about it…. Haven’t you got enough points to leave anyway?”

“No. It doesn’t work like that for us nurses.”

“Ah crap… suppose you’re stuck with me for another three years then.” “Lucky me.” She teased, sarcastically digging her arm into his side as he nudged her back with a knowing smile. “Lucky me more like.”

“Yeah after finally making a move 3 years later.”

“Maybe I oughta’ have run straight past you, now you’re just getting bold.” He joked. “Or maybe you could’ve done that anyway, without breaking my ankle.”

Hi yes of course I can write that

his actions are kind of ooc

Wounded Dove

It was Friday night. Ginny and I had gotten into an argument over mom’s suspected murder. I knew mom would never hurt anyone unless it was for our family. Unless there was a reason.

I was the eldest daughter of Georgia Miller, y/n. Ginny and I are the same age but not twins. I came along when mom married my dad, Anthony. To be blunt, I’m her stepdaughter. He was a shit dad to be honest. After his death she took me in. Growing up we had moved between so many different locations that me and my siblings barely had any time to make friends or find where we belonged. Our newest location being Wellsbury. We’ve actually been here long enough to find friend groups and love interests. Mom seemed to be settling in quite well with multiple guys as per usual. I ship her the most with Joe, a total sweet eye candy. Although it seems she much rather prefers the mayor. Ginny has hit it off with this boy named Hunter. He’s good for her, he makes her happy. I happened to hit it off with our neighbor, Marcus Baker. He’s a total eye candy and he rides a motorcycle somewhat like Zion. Me and him had a connection ever since the first day we ran into each other and ever since we made things official between us he started to call me his dove. Lately he’s been sneaking into my room to have make out sessions but it hasn’t gotten to second or third base quite yet. I was hoping today would be the day until the fight with Ginny happened. Now I just sat pathetically crying in my room, having completely forgotten the fact that Marcus would come over. I didn't realize his presence in the room until I heard a slight coughing. “You good, dove?” he approached my side.

“Yea, I’m fine” fidgeting with my hands. “you know you can talk to me about anything, I’m always gonna be here for you” I sighed “thanks it’s just Ginny” I didn't really want to burden him about my family issues but I knew that I could trust him. “What happened? Did she do something to you?” he inquired whilst holding my hands. “it’s just we got into an argument over Georgia. She’s always being so rude to her and for whatever reason she believes she’s always out to get her. She’s our mom for Christ sake.” Speaking of this made me recall how Ginny called our mom a “dangerous woman” who could “hurt us” and it made me feel sick. “ dove, you know her relationship with your mom is complicated. Don’t stress yourself over it because I assure you, it probably won’t end any time soon.”

I realized I probably ruined the mood for the plans we had tonight but I really had looked forward to it so here goes nothing. “can we kiss?” when I said that his face turned slightly red and we began to make out. He certainly knew his way around these kinds of things. Things started to get heated and before I knew it, his hands were up my shirt fumbling with the straps of my bra while I tried my best to aid him. Finally with a bit of struggling we got my top off and we’re just about to take of the rest of our clothes when all of a sudden someone pounds on the door “Y/N YOU BETTER NOT BE GETTING FRISKY WITH WHITE BOI IN YOUR ROOM” ah shit… it’s mom. that’s kind of the end please let me know what you think

hi loves!!

doing a "double update" for all of you because i've been slacking with updates, so you all deserve this because of how patient you've been with me. i appreciate it so much🤍

but omg i had so much fun with chapter! these instagram chapters are always so fun to write. instead of writing just one moment or one vacation from yours and Joes off-season adventures, i decided to do a bunch of "posts" to show them all off :)

i hope you all enjoyed this chapter! the next chapter is full of surprises👀 (any guesses on what they could be?)

only three more left of this series ! i cant believe it.

thank you all so much for your love and support with this book. every like, reblog, comment and view means so much to me!🥰

[taylortruther]

That NYT piece is unhinged, and it will make the Kaylors feel like the New York Times agrees with them. Why can’t they just stan genuinely gay artists, not a woman who has only publicly dated men, and who has said this speculation makes her uncomfortable?

i think it's okay that the ny times wants to post opinion pieces like this - like it or not, taylor's sexual identity is a hot topic and has been one for years now, and the interest around it does speak to our societal concerns!

but i think this article in particular pushes a lot of thoughts that i have to challenge whenever i see them. primarily, that songs about fear or yearning in love are exclusively queer topics, and that a woman couldn't feel specific ways around a man. when it comes to taylor specifically, this article (and many similar ones) neglects to mention that she feels fear and trapped because she's felt hunted (by the media, "hunters with cellphones") every time she leaves the house. she's described men in her life being uncomfortable with her security or being seen with her or associated with her. she explicitly stated multiple times in her music and in miss americana that she found happiness with joe because it was happiness without outside input, and she had to unlearn an entire belief system (that she needed to be good and liked) in order to find security again.

i always understood why queer people saw themselves in her music. because fearing being "found out," needing secrecy, having to hide what you truly mean, is a completely relatable queer experience in a world that is so unfriendly to us. the writer touches on this at the beginning, too, with chely wright saying a huge star would need to come out in order to truly break up the status quo, and by saying that queer readings (even if they're "wrong") are necessary to normalize equality... but i think not diving deeper neglects a critical piece of this discussion. taylor's anxieties about fame and love are necessary to understanding her work, with or without the queer lens.

also, i think it's just glib sexism that makes people think that her tender love songs couldn't be written by a man. i don't know why the author thinks inthaf and hits different can ONLY be about women because nothing in them is gendered. maroon, sure, the line about lips is titillatingly questionable. but some gaylors have also said this about cardigan (men don't dance!), or treacherous (men don't use their hands in sex!), or so it goes (there's definitely not an extremely well-known sex act called a pearl necklace absolutely not) and like... even if taylor was a gold star lesbian, and wrote those songs about women, they still... could easily apply... to one's experiences with men...

idk like i hate this idea that queer people and straight people experience love in completely different ways. YES, societal/historical context changes how we experience the world. but we are still the same species. we still experience heartbreak and yearning and fear and joy and love and peace with people.

#this was rant #hot taykes

[spectres-fulcrum]

(I normally try to limit my Swiftieness to mostly music but sorry)I like Travis Kelce. I like him a lot. And he's not afraid of the media circus that is Taylor Swift's life right now. And he's making safe places for her to join his life, his family and friends.

Idk I just saw a video where he said he's welcoming the current chaos and he's spoken before about how the NFL is overdoing shit but knowing that until the NFL backs off he's all in for the chaos and not trying to hide her(Unlike another man), that they will continue their slow romance on their own terms and he can handle that...

She's sung about having to hide love to protect it for nearly a decade. Since Harry Styles. That's how long the people with cameras were hunters and she was an animal. And they were trying to kill her happiness. She believed romance wasn't dead only if you kept it hidden, that her greatest luxury were her secrets. She and Joe had such a love bubble that they so very rarely left.

But she seems so happy, learning there are men that aren't scared of hunters with cameras. Who wants things to calm, but will take chaos over hiding her. Who makes her feel safe at his games and talks about her-gasp-multiple times a week in public with a lovestruck grin. Joe Alwyn couldn't do that multiple times a year.

I feel like he'll probably go to her LATAM concerts on his bye week but I could be wrong/he could choose to see hang with his nieces and SIL and dad in Philly or whatever else he does.

I just. This feels good in it's bones. I can tell it'll be enough for him if she can never give him peace. And it makes me cry in hope.

Idk. You ever see a video and know-finally-your fave is loved by someone who can handle their anxieties? Nah. Just me. Okay

[joekeeryswife]

hi! i've never sent a request before so idk how to do this stuff so sorry if i do it wrong 😭😭, i was just wondering if you could do perhaps a fluffy joe keery w/ co-star!reader doing the vanity lie detector interview (or if you want just a simple ol' interview)

Lie Detector - J.K

i’m sorry for how bad this is. some of the imagines you guys come up with are amazing!! i love this concept, hope this was okay <3

you were sat in the lie detector chair, geared up, ready to be questioned. you thought you would be doing this alone but you found Joseph, Gaten and Joe all in your dressing room this morning. you had also found out that they would be reading questions fans had asked, you were shitting yourself. you were scared about the different questions you were going to get asked and now you honestly couldn’t lie.

the questions started with Gaten saying them first. “y/n. you have been in the public eye for a few years and are considered one of the most followed people in the public eye. if there was one thing you could do without being followed by fans and paparazzi, what would it be?” he said, this test made you think. you felt eyes all on you before you spoke up once you had gotten your answer. “probably go to my family’s house and sit outside” you said, looking at Gaten. he waited for the examiner to speak up and when she did she said a small ‘true’ which you were happy about.

you did get followed around quite a bit and once the paparazzi tried to get into your nans house whilst your whole family were there and you were fuming. you were trash talked by the media and newspapers after you went outside and shouted at them for being disrespectful but that was last year. “y/n, you have done many modelling shoots with different celebrities over the years, would you say your favourite shoot was the Vogue magazine cover or not?” Gaten said, reading the next question. to be honest, you loved every single shoot you did but when you got asked to be on the cover of Vogue UK, you felt as though you had completed every single life goal you had.

“yes, Vogue was definitely my favourite shoot” you said , telling the truth again. you didn’t want to lie and be called out so hearing Bonny, the examiner, say ‘true’ put your mind to ease after every question. then, Gaten passed the questions to Joseph and he read the next one in his head before laughing and showing the others. that made you nervous. you had done a few embarrassing things on set and out in public so you were hoping it wasn’t one of those questions. “y/n, since you get photographed by the paparazzi almost every day. they do get some awkward photos of you.” Joseph said, laughing out loud when Gaten push a photo of you, mid falling, on the pavement, ankle twisted. you started blushing and put your head down slightly.

“did your ankle hurt after this?” he said, looking at your face. you looked at the photo one last time before you burst out laughing. you nodded your head and then realised you had to give your response out loud. you all calmed down before you spoke up again. “yes, it hurt a lot. i went to the hospital after because it hurt so much” you said, making quick eye contact with Joe before turning to Bonny. she nodded her head and said a small ‘true’ before Joseph started saying your next question. “there are three questions left so, y/n, you have said in previous interviews that if you were going to get in a relationship, you would want it to be private but, have you recently got into a relationship or no?”

that was a stupid question. “no i am not in a relationship.” you said, looking at Joseph as you finished your sentence. you heard Bonny say ‘true’ before Joseph handed the cards to Joe. his eyes widen at the question in front of his and he started to read it out. “you have been in Stranger things since season 3, did you prefer the season 3 cast to the season 4 cast?” he said. that was kind of a shitty question. you loved all the cast and it was basically the same as last season but season 4 brought in Chrissy and Eddie, your best friends in the show, so you definitely preferred season 4 to season 3. “no i didn’t. i prefer the season 4 cast to the season 3 cast” you said, honestly, again. Bonny said a quick ‘true’ again and before Joe started talking, you quickly spoke up.

“god this is such a boring video, sorry guys” you said, looking into the camera. everyone laughed and then Joe started reading your last question. “do you have a crush on anyone on the Stranger Things cast and would you consider dating one of them?” Joe said, making your eyes widen in fear and embarrassment. you had always had a massive crush on Joe and Joseph knew. Joseph’s face turned from happy to shocked. he laughed out loud at your facial expression before you spoke up again.

“no i don’t have a crush on anyone and no i wouldn’t date any of them” you said, lying. your heart beat increased as you waited for what felt like an eternity for Bonny to say if you were lying or telling the truth. when Joe heard your answer, his face turned into a hurt expression before he looked down. he quickly looked back up and changed his expression when he realised he was also being filmed and waited for Bonny to talk. “that was a lie” Bonny said, looking at you. you muttered a quick ‘shit’ before looking down. you heard Joseph’s and Gaten’s laughs in the background of your mind whilst a million thoughts raced through it.

you didn’t want Joe to find out about your ‘silly’ crush that you had on him and here you were, being exposed by this stupid lie detector. “okay y/n, your questions are finished, you can switch places with Joe” your manager said. Bonny unclipped all the equipment from around you and once you were free, you practically ran to sit next to Joseph, your face covered in a bright red blush. “you’re an idiot. why didn’t you tell the truth, it would have been easier” he said, putting an arm around your shoulder. you nodded your head, acknowledging that he was right and the got given the cards by Bonny. Joe’s turn went pretty quickly before his last question came up.

“Joe, you’ve been on the Stranger Things set since season one and you’ve seen many actors and actresses come and go, is there anyone you felt a personal connection to on the show and did you have romantic feelings for that person?” Gaten said. you looked down at your hands and sighed softly. you ‘knew’ that Joe didn’t have a crush on anyone on the cast and that’s why you kept your feelings quiet. “yes” he said, looking you in the eye for a split second when you looked up before he quickly turned his head to Bonny. ‘true’ she said, making Joe’s cheeks turn into a bright red colour.

for the rest of the interview, you had a somewhat shocked expression on your face, Joe Keery had a crush on a cast member? you were utterly confused. after all the interviews had finished, you all got up and started walking to the dressing room. you and Joe walked together as Joseph and Gaten ran to see who would get there first. “so, i’m guessing your crush is Joseph” he said, making the awkward air even more awkward. “uhh. no actually. i don’t have a crush on Joseph” you said shyly, looking down at your feet as you walked. “wait it isn’t Joseph? then who is it, you have to tell me” he said, joking around. you sighed before stopping in the middle of the hallway. Joe stopped next to you with a confused look. “i don’t have a crush on Joseph. i have a crush on you” you admitted, your face turned as bright as a tomato as you looked anywhere but at Joe.

Joe was shocked. you liked him back? after all the years of him basically making his feelings obvious, you finally liked him back? Joe didn’t waste any time before putting both his hands on your cheeks, pulling you in for a kiss. your eyes widened before you practically melted in his touch. you kissed back, hands falling around his waist as the kiss continued. “i like you too” Joe said, breaking the kiss. you let your head fall into his chest as you blushed brighter than before. you guys liked each other and you were grateful for this lie detector test.

I WAS AT THE NERDY PRUDES SHOW WHERE THEY LOST POWER!!!

Here is my spoiler-free recounting!

After over a decade of being a Starkid fan, I traveled 3,000 miles to see Nerdy Prudes!! (The date just happened to align with a trip I was planning.) It was so surreal being in the theater! I saw Producer!Dylan and Corey L. running around with their headsets. Then right before the show started I saw Joe Moses and Tessa walk in. Also two rows ahead of me was someone in a Spiderman hat... I was like... Is that Nick Lang? No... why would he be in the middle of the audience? Later I found out I was right 😂

For context, it was raining really hard in LA and the streets were flooding. LA is not used to rain so they're not well equipped to deal with it.

Act 1 went great and then shortly after Act 2 started, BAM, the lights went off. Everyone froze. The person in the light booth said "We've just lost power." Then, Nick Lang stood up and said, "It's going to be okay everyone, we'll figure this out." And he left to help the staff. But for a good minute or so the entire audience thought it was a bit and couldn't tell if this was part of the show or not! But after a few minutes we were like holy shit this is actually happening. It took maybe half an hour or so but we were back up and running and everyone was so hype cheering on the actors when they came back on stage.

Then, during the final song, on what sounded like the final NOTE, the lights went off again. You could hear a reaction from the actors-- I can't imagine how upset they must have been in that moment! But the entire audience erupted in cheers and instantly gave a standing ovation. After the crowd calmed down a bit Nick came back out and was like "Yeah...... That actually wasn't the ending. There are two minutes left." And we freaked out 😂 They had us wait for a few minutes, but then they decided to call it. In the words of Nick, "You're the lucky audience who gets to see this show with a happy ending!" 😳😳 So yeah - I still don't know the ending. I'm going to have to buy the digital ticket so I can see the ending and also get the full experience uninterrupted. I can't wait for the YouTube version!

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT - Updated!

I think everyone's favorite part was the LORDS IN FREAKING BLACK!!! AHHHHH!!! JON AS HUMAN!WIGGLY was perfect! Also was he giving Onceler/TumblrSexyMan energy? 🤔 Can't wait to see how it looks on the YouTube version!

I loved Jon's anime nerd character. It was so damn good. The collective "Nooooooo" when the audience realized his death was imminent 😭😂

The parallels between Abstinace Camp and NPMD are very fun to me. "IT WAS GIRL JERI THAT DIRTY GIRL!"

DIRTY DIRTY GIRL WON'T YOU PRAY FOR MEEE?

Max's pronunciation of "skel-a-in" 😭 I need the story of how he decided on that or if it was written into the script?!

The Barbeque Monologues?! And that song? Jeff Blim pls. Lauren is a master through.

Someone pointed out that all the Hatchetfield shows have in-world productions: Working Boys, Santa Clause is Going to High School, and The Barbeque Monologues. Idk what this means, but it is a nice touch for worldbuilding.

The little musical reference to Nightmare time!!

I keep thinking about how Rob M fumbled the Starkid bag 😬 But Joey did such a great job as Pete! For some reason it feels like a full-circle moment between MAMD and "Joey Richter" with him playing the nerdy character 😊

Anglea was freaking fantastic as Grace. I just love her voice and how she makes it go so high it cracks! And Curt and Kim playing her parents was so good.

There's something so funny about Angela's characters being so different - Lex vs Grace - and the fact that they would hate each other 😂 Can Angela please play both of them interacting?!

Kim freaking Whalen!!!! I love her so much.

I LOVE seeing Corey and Mariah playing father and daughter again (but it's a very different dynamic than TGWDLM).

LOVE LOVE LOVE evil/slimly dirtbag Corey. HE'S SO FINE!!

I missed seeing Jeff and James on stage - I wonder if Jeff's chaotic energy would have been too much with the horny teenagers hahaha. But James would have fit right in! Oh well, we can't have them all in every show, unfortunately.

Gotta say I didn't expect them to say "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" so many times in the show 😂

The last song having pop-punk vibes?!

Anddd...... the last scene...... (yes I finally got to see it!) GRACE KEPT THE BOOK!!! Did she say "every perv must die"? Yeah, that's gonna be a lot of people on her list... Also very similar to the end of Abstinence Camp! This isn't going to go well.......

Crying Over Broken Pasta - Melissa Schemmenti/Female Reader

Melissa Schemmenti/Female Reader

Summary: A romantic evening cooking together. Melissa overloaded. Y/N commits the crime of breaking the pasta and things go wrong after that. A fight brings out insecurities.

Classification: Light angst, Fluff

Warnings: Some harsh words, Swearing

Note: Idk, Melissa might seem a little exaggerated in this situation and out of character? But I would be super pissed off if someone broke the pasta, just saying

Word count: +2600

Unrevised

There would be no better date for Melissa than cooking with her partner, the kitchen being a very intimate and important place for her, where she grew up, watched her parents fall in love again and again, made her first lasagna with nonna, had her first wine drunk with Kristen Marie, where she used cooking to take out her daily frustrations. Nothing better than a Pomodoro Penne after an exhausting and stressful day, to forget it all by enjoying the family recipe. But she never considered it a place of romance until Y/N, Joe, although he loved Schemmenti food, never shared this space with the redhead, much less in a romantic way. He ate, he complimented, sometimes he washed the dishes, and that was it. The arrival of this new person in her life also brought her a new vision for the sanctuary, she simply loves to see the girlfriend sitting on the countertops having breakfast, preparing the teacher's tea wearing only short pajamas, almost melting completely when she offers help, either to cut some ingredient or stir the pot. It's just adorable, very special, especially since there are dozens of kisses and hugs exchanged as they prepare breakfast/dinner. This is why, staging a romantic setting, Melissa has prepared the kitchen for the site of a monthly date with her girlfriend. There are fresh tomatoes scattered on the cutting board, bowls full of freshly cut ingredients, the kettle of water boiling behind the couple, while the teacher stands next to her girlfriend, one hand firmly on her waist as the other instructs Y/N how to cut the tomatoes in a correct way.

- Great, amore mio. - she celebrates seeing the little cubes, all the effort was worth it and this would be perfect on spaghetti, she decided to teach the simpler Schemmenti recipes first, hoping it would become a routine couple program - You are a good student. - and left a gentle kiss on the other woman's lips, taking a long time to purposely leave her lips.

- Thanks, Mel. - Y/N laughed, feeling happy and heartwarmed to have such a captivating and patient girlfriend, the task had taken more than five minutes and at no point did she get upset, not showing any irritation - What should I do now?

- The water's already boiled, you can put the pasta in the pot. - the redhead smiles and moves away, making room on the counter to prepare the rest of the ingredients for the sauce. - Meanwhile I'll finish chopping the onion. I should have prepared the pasta, but you know, this week has been really crazy. So we'll have to make do with the store-bought stuff, the fresh ingredients will save our recipe. - she shrugs, taking a sip from the glass of wine she had left there, trying to pretend not to be upset, but feeling guilty deep down for not being able to give her girlfriend the full experience.

- It's okay, love. Seriously, just the thought of tasting your family's sauce makes my mouth water. - Y/N tries to reassure her and walks by Melissa, giving her a half-hug along with a kiss on the cheek - Let's have spaghetti tonight! Made by us!

- Made by us! - this cheered her up again, after all, this dinner has been scheduled just to spend some time together in the kitchen and that's what matters - Amore mio, do you want to wi...? - Melissa turns to ask if she doesn't want more wine and can't finish the word, disbelieving in what her eyes see, the pasta is broken in two in Y/N's hands, that anguishing sound unmistakable for any Italian - What the hell are you doing?

- Putting the pasta in the pot. - she answers simply, not realizing what has just happened, and puts the pasta in the boiling water - Now I stir?

- Yes, you stir. - the redhead controls herself not to sound rude, suddenly very upset and offended by what she has just witnessed. SHE BROKE THE PASTA! And Melissa can't handle it. - It was supposed to stir anyway. - she whispers turning her back, low enough not to be heard, trying to control her own personality in order not to make Y/N upset and sad for cooking the pasta absurdly wrong. But not being able to express herself made her even angrier.

Minutes later they start the sauce when the pasta is ready, Melissa no longer asks her girlfriend for help, putting in and cooking the ingredients on her own, in her own way. No matter how much Y/N offers help every minute, she refuses every time, too focused on not letting her indignation show. She doesn't even respond when her girlfriend appreciates the smell of onions frying at the bottom of the pan, when she is hugged from the side no reaction is shown either, she just rolls her eyes and goes back to watching the sauce.

- I'm ready to eat our spaghetti Schemmenti. - the youngest celebrates, gesturing to the dishes on the table, perfectly presented except for the... incident - Wine? - she offers, shaking the rest of the liquid at the bottom of the bottle, they were sipping until Melissa drank the rest practically by herself.

- No, thanks. I need sobriety for this.

- What?

- Nothing, Y/N. Let's eat. - the two sit down, facing each other, the candle placed there earlier has been forgotten to be lit, Y/N takes a big gulp enjoying the spaghetti, groans that would once have been sinful to Melissa, but now it irritates her. She just stares at her own plate, being sure that her nonna would disinherit her if she ate that.

- Something wrong, love? - Y/N asks, finding her silently staring at the plate.

- Who taught you how to make spaghetti? - the redhead asks rhetorically on automatic, not expecting a real answer.

- A college roommate, I think, I don't remember making it before...

- I get it. - Melissa throws herself back in her chair and takes a generous sip of wine from her girlfriend's glass, sighing. The tension has taken over the environment.

- Did I do something wrong?

- You broke the fucking pasta! - Melissa's voice came out louder than she expected, almost like a scream, and as she gestured with her hands she ended up bumping into the plate, throwing it to the floor, smashing in pieces. - Oh, shit!

- Mel, why didn't you tell me anything? - Y/N asks staring at her girlfriend kneeling on the floor and cleaning the pieces angrily, carelessly - I...

- You don't know how to make a simple spaghetti correctly, that's it. - she rolls the eyes and watches the orange stain start to form on the floor, which frustrates her even more, the night that should be perfect is going down the drain faster than she can keep up with it - You are not from Philadelphia, not Italian and now spaghetti... My family would....

- Oh! - Y/N chokes in realization and looks away, trying not to look at her girlfriend who rubs the floor fervently, knowing that if he saw her in that state any more, she wouldn't be able to stop the tears from falling - I'm going to... I'm sorry. - she picks up her bag from the coffee table and leaves the house, unnoticed by the woman, too busy taking out her frustration on the cleaning to notice.

Walking back to her own apartment, since she is without a car because Melissa used to give her rides from work to her house and from her house to work, Y/N reflects on the night's events, mentally cursing herself for having done that stupid thing, she should have paid attention to the pasta and not taken the easy way out, although she was loving the night, the girl was as tired as Melissa after the school chaos and automatically broke down to save time, without thinking about her girlfriend's culture and much less her reaction. When she didn't show any reaction, Y/N didn't even realize what she had done. She wondered if she should send a message apologizing for the culinary crime or let her calm down first before making any moves, rare were the times she saw the redhead act this way, never a behavior directed at her. At the end of her ramblings she thought it best to give the woman some time to calm down.

And then Melissa's words came into her mind. She had talked about family, about how she is different from everything the redhead expected in a partner, Y/N still remembers the teacher's face when she admitted she wasn't from Philadelphia and had no Italian blood (or just distant family), a smile that died halfway through followed by another that didn't reach the eyes. Still, two months later a relationship began, secret both to her co-workers, except Barbara, and to the Schemmenti. Insecurities began to surface, some that she drowned out so many times so as not to affect the nearly two-year relationship, and some new ones. Several "What if..." took over. What if she is ashamed of her? What if being from Philadelphia is that important? What if dating a non-Italian bothers her? Y/N sighed and decided to try to let go, the tears already dry on her face, leaving a smeared trail of makeup. When she gets home that's the first thing she notices as passing by the mirror in the entryway. And she feels miserable.

The next day, Sunday, she is awakened by the doorbell ringing several times in a row and as she walks to get it she hears the wood being punched, almost getting accidentally punched as it opens. Melissa controls her arm to avoid hitting her and backs away, being very embarrassed by the desperation. Even trying to be rational the fear took over, Y/N hadn't answered any message or call, the redhead is trying to communicate with the girl since the night before, at first she thought it was grief and decided to give her time, but when she didn't get answers in the morning she started to get worried, finally deciding to run to the apartment to check her.

- Amore mio...

- What do you want, Melissa? - Y/N asks rubbing the eyes and then tries to stop Mel from touching her, failing, as she has a thorough check for Melissa to be assured that she is physically okay, she would never forgive herself if something happened to the girlfriend because of her, feeling extremely guilty for letting her go home alone and walking late at night.

- I... I should have come after you as soon as you left our house. - she takes the girl's face between hands and stares into her eyes Y/E/C, noticing the redness and swelling pointing out that she had cried the whole night, she knows this face very well - I made you cry, My God! Y/N, please forgive me. My reaction was disproportionate, there was the stress of school, the kids.

- Melissa... - Y/N quickly corrects herself - Mel, I can't say it's okay, but I understand you. I just didn't realize I broke the pasta. On automatic.

- It's okay, I made a mistake, if I could go back in time I would never say what I said. Nor would I act the way I did. I just wanted our night to be perfect and then everything was going wrong, I was frustrated, I didn't know how to act. - Melissa steps forward and hugs her lovingly, carefully, tenderly, as if her lover were made of glass. And closes the door behind them with a free hand, placing her against the wood, deepening the hug.

- So you're not ashamed of me?

- Where did that question come from? - the girl tries to get out of the woman's arms, but the redhead pulls her to herself again, a confused expression on face.

- You grumbled yesterday about me not being from Philadelphia, not being Italian, and that made me think about it all night. About the secret relationship and the reasons why. - she let the words flow and felt a little more relieved, finally speaking out loud and not in whispers to herself in the middle of the night.

- I was frustrated, it doesn't matter to me, I don't care where you come from and your blood. Well, at least not anymore... - Melissa confesses - If you weren't such a piece of work you wouldn't have convinced me. I'm serious. Forgive me.

- I know... - Y/N whispers and bites her lips, which does not go unnoticed by the teacher - Forgive me for breaking the pasta.

- All right, but I still can't believe you were eating spaghetti like that. You have to roll it on the fork, when you broke it, you can't do that, it's just wrong, unnatural. A crime! - both laugh and Melissa advances a kiss, pinning the other against the door again - I want to teach you again, properly.

- I wouldn't deny it, you're a great teacher.

- Amore mio, does keeping our relationship a secret make you unhappy? Insecure? - Y/N just nods positively and stares at the floor - Then let's tell everyone.

- What?

- We can organize a dinner with my family, formally introduce you to them. - a quick kiss - We cook together. - Another kiss - My parents will love you.

- Are you sure about that?

- Yes, they'll see what I saw in you. - Melissa interlaces her fingers and kisses her girlfriend's hand - And I will officially make you mine.

- Really? - the girl held her breath trying to think about the meaning of these words, when Melissa says "our home" is because she sleeps more at the teacher's house than at her own apartment, there is a space in the closet for her, they even share the dressing table and in the kitchen Y/N has a cup for herself, matching another one belonging to the teacher. But officially making her Melissa's could mean many things, including putting a ring on the ring finger and saying yes at the altar.

- Seriously, I'll make you a Schemmenti, but first you have to learn how to make spaghetti. - they laugh - It's almost noon, sleepyhead. We can try again today...

- I'm not in the mood now... - Y/N caresses the corner of the woman's lips and deposits a not so innocent kiss, pulling her lower lip between the teeth as she finishes, then finds a pair of green eyes staring at her hungrily - We have better things to do now.

- I think I understand you... - she is pushed against the wall by Melissa and feels a pair of hands grab her by the thigh, easily lifting her against the wood while coral painted lips wander up the neck, kissing and biting the skin carelessly, not caring about marks. Not anymore.

  Communicating better was something they both learned from this situation, Melissa hated herself for making the woman she loves cry and felt extremely guilty for every word, when frustration took over she didn't know how to handle it, so it's something she plans to work on and improve. For the sake of their relationship. Y/N, on the other hand, may have learned not to break pasta, but she would definitely come to repeat it if it led to reconciliation sex, which she found to be one of the best experiences. Even though she had to walk awkwardly the next day and hide the hickeys for weeks.

Author's Note : I am alway taking requests <3

m-rae23~randomstory56~palomam18~figmentofquinn~ hqtetsurou~gloomybrieyxb~irish-newzealand-idian-dutch

" Would you two stop it, I'm going to puke" Gaten jokily says as he rolls his eyes at the two of you, Joseph and you kissing each other. You pull away from Joseph, sticking out your tongue at Gaten.

" You are just jealous that I have a pretty boyfriend like Joseph" Joseph's cheek paint red hearing you call him pretty. He isn't used to the compliments, but it makes his heart swell with happiness.

Gaten rolls his eyes as he looks away, but a small smile is on his face.

Joseph and you had met on the set of Stranger Things, playing as Dustin's older sister and Eddie's love interest. Since Joseph has been casted, the two of you grown close together and eventually you asked Joseph out which surprised him. He was at loss of words but agreed, you always surprised him even asked him to be your boyfriend after the fourth date.

" Love birds " Jamie walks over to the both of you, hugging you on each of his arm as the two of you hugged him back.

" Lines are huge with fans dressed mostly as both of your characters. It's cute. Darling, you're going to be over the moon to see the little girls dressed up as your character. Look" he takes out his phone as he shows you one picture with a little girl in your characters outfit with Jamie who looks like he's going to eat her making her smile. her two front teeth were missing and it was the cutest thing ever.

You clasp a hand over your mouth.

" Awe, that's adorable" Joseph grins as he peeks through the curtain seeing so many fans were lining up to meet the both of you. But the crew decided to put Gaten in the middle of you both for some reason.

" You ready, sweetheart?" Joe says as he offers you a pack of sharpies knowing your hand was going to hurt by the end of the night.

" Ready" you put your hand up to your forehead as a salute making Joseph and Jamie laugh.

" You're such a dork" you grin, " You're dork"

" My one and only" before you know it the both of you were separated and you sat in your chair to meet fans. You gushed at the first one seeing a girl dressed as your character to a T.

" Hi! You're so pretty Y/N. You're character has done so much for me, I can't thank you enough" she says as she pushes your funko pop for you to sign.

" What's your name, beautiful?" you ask her uncapping the sharpie in your hands.

" Rebecca but can you write Becca?" you nod as you sign it, " Thank you for coming, you mean so much to me and continue being beautiful" you tell her. She takes the funko pop in her hands and smiles in happiness walking away.

You look over to Joseph to see he's greeting fans too but notices that you look at him, sends you a wink as he continues to sign what the fan gave him.

Gaten is greeting fans too, hugging them across the table and then when he sits down, one fan asks him, " I know your close to Joseph, is Joseph with Y/N?" Gaten looks at you to see your not paying attention to Joseph who threw a sharpie over his shoulder and took another and turns back around at the fan.

" yes, they both had great chemistry on the show and the two of them are crazy for one another. Trust me" he throws his hands up in the air, " I know they are from what I've seen"

The fan looks at Joseph seeing he looked over at Y/N to check on her and the fan looks at you to see you casting a smile towards Joseph and their heart is full of happiness.

A little girl walks over to your table, dressed as you. It was the same girl that saw Jamie.

" Hi there, Jamie was telling me about you! Look at you, you're the most adorable thing ever" she giggles as she leans up on her toes on the table. Her mom is by her side watching the happiness in her daughters eyes.

" She loves you so much, she wants to be like you when she grows up"

" Is that so?" you hadn't noticed that arms were coming around the back of you, Jamie was behind you putting a finger to his lips as he places his hands on top of your shoulder, scaring at you. You screamed ready to punch who ever scared you when Joseph runs over to see what's going on, stumbling into Jamie as the two nearly collapsed on your table.

" Such goofballs" you laugh watching as they both got up, nodding at each other.

" That wasn't nice Jamie, don't scare me" Jamie laughs.

" You're too fun not to scare Y/N. I'm sorry"

" I can only scare my girlfriend" Joseph says, the little girl mom is n shock hearing it.

" So it's really true, you and Y/N are together just like Eddie and Y/C?N? Joseph cheek paint red as he nods wrapping his arm from behind you and placing a kiss on the side of your head.

She tells the girl about it and the little girl claps as she jumps.

" She made this for you" her mom slide over a little heart drawing with E + Y/C/N on it. Your eyes tear up as you look at it, Joseph is looking behind you and watches as you put it to your chest with a little out as you look at the little girl.

" Come here, you" you pat the table for her to get on. Her mom helps her get on the table and you wrap your arms around her, hugging her. Joseph steps back a bit as he watches with a smile on his face.

" Thank you so much, sweet angel" you whisper in her ear before her eyes look at Joseph. You know what she wants.

" Joseph, come here" he leans in and you wrap his arm around her as the tree of you hug. Her mom is taking pictures and can't believe how you are making her daughters day. You love your fans.

She gets down from the table and thank you for what you did and skips away yelling how much she loves you with her mom running to catch up with her.

" For the final and last time, Y/N and Joseph are together" Gaten says clasping his hands together pointing towards you and Jospeh. " Just like Eddie and Y/C/N"

You reach over to Gaten and wrap your arms around him from the back.

" Are you okay?" He nods. Jamie emerges from behind the curtain and stands on the table.

" Hey! Everyone!" he yells, the fans that are standing like are looking at him. You, Joseph and Gaten are looking at him wondering what was he up to.

" Joseph Quinn and Y/N L/N are together as a couple! They are cute tougher and have so much chemistry! Quit asking Gaten, myself and the rest of Stranger Things cast about them. They are together, THEY TOTALLY ARE!”he motions to you and Joseph, " please stop asking us the same question. They are dating. Yeah?"

You hear the fans scream in happiness. The fans love the both of you and both your characters.

" But sometimes I share Joseph with Jamie over here"

" Only on the weekends, darling" Jamie jokes as he sends you a wink getting off the table.

Anything Goes Podcast | Backstage Girlfriend

Backstage Girlfriend!Universe Masterlist

Word Count: 1.4k

Category: Idk, angst-ish & fluff-ish maybe

Warning: Some swear words

Summary: Bsgf!YN sits for Emma Chamberlain’s podcast, Anything Goes, to talk about relationships after her break up with Harry and being with Joe.

.. 

“Ramble,” the podcast began with the robotic voice.

“Hello,” Emma greeted into thousands of people’s devices, “I’m actually not alone for this one,” she said, “I have Y/N Y/L/N here with me.”

“Hiii,” you said, your voice sounding as if you were smiling as you did.

“Dude, I’m literally, like, so excited to have you with me for this one.”

“I’m so excited, too,” you said, “Anything Goes has been like my best friend during so many days so I can’t believe my voice will, like,” you giggled, “Be on it.”

“I’m so flattered, I’m so flattered,” Emma said with a grin, “You know it actually means so much to me that you actually were, like, open to talk about that topic today, which is relationships, because,” she paused, “I know you’re like a very private person and things have been, like,” she paused again to find the right word, “Very hectic and just, too much for you.”

“I think I got a pretty good experience that I learned a lot from,” you said, “Like, so much was gained in the past, I don’t know, 4 years in my life–or like, it’s nearing 4. I wish I had someone stop me back then and just tell me, like,” you paused, “Don’t do that, don’t do this, avoid that, avoid this, and like, stop putting so much energy where it’s not appreciated. I wish I had someone tell me that so coming on here, talking with you, I don’t know I just feel like some sort of a big sister, maybe?” You chuckled.

“Awww,” Emma cooed, “I get that, I seriously do. Okay so, just to get it out of the way, you’re in a relationship right now, right?”

“Yes,” you replied, “I am.”

“How’s it going?” 

“Pretty well actually,” you giggled, “Yeah, I’m–I’m grateful for him and everything he’s done and still does. It’s–I think I can actually say I’m in a healthy relationship, you know?”

“That’s a huge thing to say, I’m so fucking happy for you!” Emma exclaimed, making you sheepishly giggle, “How do you come to the conclusion that, like,” she paused, “Like you pause and you reflect and think ‘hey, I’m actually in a healthy relationship right now’? Like what made you know that?”

“Alright so, my last relationship was–I don’t know how to describe it,” you chuckled, “But it just affected me so badly, you know? Like, he was a great person–an amazing friend, amazing son, stuff like that, but like, right in the middle, stuff happened and things just sort of,” you paused, “Got blurry. It’s always bound to happen when you’re with someone who’s creative and into, you know, the business. But I was getting hurt in the middle,” you said, “Like, now I go to bed, fully knowing that the person I’m with actually loves me and wants to be with me, and is just–Like, he’s not afraid of showing it, he’s not afraid to stand up for me if shit goes wrong–You know, stuff like that. They’re all things I wish I felt back then, you know?”

“Yeah,” Emma sighed, “God, feeling secure in a relationship.”

“Exactly,” you confirmed, “And I’m not saying that my ex was a monster or anything, love was definitely there. Like, I seriously don’t even feel like I hate him or want the worse for him or anything like I honestly thought I would, because I know he’s an amazing person.”

“So where did it all go wrong? Or like, when did you decide that you just couldn’t and there was like, no more fighting to do?”

You took a breath, organizing your thoughts and words before talking, “I think I just realized my actual worth, you know?” You chuckled, “And look, I know it sounds like cheesy shit people say on Instagram but–something happened and it just made me realize that I was avoiding so many bottled up feelings because I was putting that person’s comfort and, like, his happiness and success before mine. Like, way before mine. And it reached the point where all these things they’re going to get on the expense of my wellbeing,” you enunciated, “So like, something happened and I just–” you snapped your fingers, “Got a wake up call or something and was like, I can’t actually do this anymore.”

“Did he try to fix it or was it, like, beyond repair?”

“It was about priorities, you know? And like, principles that I thought neither of us would ever cross but then it just wasn’t the case anymore. So I felt like I was two steps away from falling into some kind of, like, an abyss or something and suddenly it was all just scary. Like, I think I’m actually losing myself in this relationship. I don’t feel secure, I don’t feel loved, I don’t feel appreciated, I just–It was very draining and always so worrying,” you said, “Like to the point where it affected my sleep, my–my diet, my relationship with people because I wasn’t comfortable, you know?”

“Look, I don’t mean to be offensive,” Emma said, “But I’m so fucking happy you’re out of that. Because–Because, I know you, right? We’ve known each other for like 2 years and I actually got to see your progress after the breakup. It was like, you were going through moon phases, am I making sense?”

“Yeah.”

“Like, I remember you were sad as fuck after it for a long while, and then you went through that phase where you just, avoid confronting or just, reflecting on the past years of your life, and then I saw you when you got into a relationship after taking so much time for yourself and to, like, you know, give it time so it doesn’t get fucked,” Emma said, “To right now, both of us sitting on my bed. Like, I’ve actually seen it.”

“You have,” you smiled, “Honestly, I think everyone around me saw it and at some times, I was just so sure that they gossiped about it, like collectively.”

“Dude, I made new friends from yours just because we were talking about your last relationship,” she said, “I seriously had a group chat with three other friends, mutual friends, and we’d update each other on your status,” Emma chuckled, “Like, hey guys, Y/N went out of the house tonight. Hey guys, Y/N posted a story on Instagram.”

“Awww,” you cooed, “That’s so cute, I’ll actually cry.”

“For real!” She exclaimed, “I think it’s because we knew how in love you were with your ex,” she said, “Like we knew it was serious from your side, you know?”

“Yeah.”

“So, now what? Has it affected your current relationship?”

“Well, I mean of course I was like, really nervous at first,” you chuckled, “I just didn’t want to go through something like that again, like been there, done that. But my boyfriend was–and he literally still is, just, so patient.”

“He knows the deets?”

“He knows the deets,” you confirmed, “I think that’s one of the most important steps to take after a breakup and like, getting into a new relationship. It was just so important to me to be 100% honest and transparent with my boyfriend when we were, like, actually getting into a relationship or you know, when something was just going on.”

“And how did he take it? Because sometimes, some people can be like,” she paused, “That’s too much work, I don’t want to be with somebody who’s like–who had a bad experience that actually affected them.”

“No, no, none of that,” you said, “I consider myself like, really lucky. Because he was so fucking understanding, so patient, you know? There was no rush, it all just, you know, flowed so naturally. And I think that–him being like that, and giving me my space to, you know, get out there and sometimes to just lock myself in for when it got too much–these were stuff that made me feel comfortable enough in like,” you snapped your fingers, “No time. Like it all just made sense, you know?”

“Y/N, I literally feel like crying right now.”

“Noooo,” you dragged with a giggle before a sound of shuffling was heard.

“If you guys can hear movement, it’s because Y/N is hugging me right now,” Emma said.

Idk if anyone’s asked this before, but do you have any tips for getting over the hurt you feel when you realize you were so wrong about who a celebrity was? I started listening to and liking TS because my sister did and we really bonded over it. I feel so stupid that I believed any of her activist stuff and I’ve wasted so much time obsessing over her and I don’t know what to so.

Now that I look back at it, I really resent the times I've spent obsessing over her and how much money I have wasted buying her stupid stuff or how many people I've fought with just because they called her names (they were right) . But I also try not be too judgemental because at that time it used to make me happy and go through my days. I also found two of my best friends online through this journey (one of them hates her now and one is indifferent). It's also true that I became a Joe fan and got to learn about him through her. But at the end of the day it did hurt when I realized the person I loved so much has switched completely opposite of what she once stood for. So I gradually started to step back (because this was not the person that I was stanning). I think I've stopped listening to her music since May last year. I haven’t listened to any of her vault songs, neither do I plan to. I heard that rerecordings are shit and I can see how she's downgrading as an artist. Also the amount of people that I've seen untsanning her in this short period makes me feel very relived, knowing I'm not the only one to see through these things. My only tip for you would be trying to point out the positive things you go out of it (eg. bonding with your sister) Don't feel stupid for believing her activist stuff because now you know how her image branding works. Feel proud of yourself that you didn’t become a part of her delusional obsessive fanbase who would even morally justify these actions for her. Take the positive feelings out of this situation and leave the rest behind. She's not worth it honestly.

[dearreader]

yk my biggest gripe with joe (right now) is he knew full well what he was getting into, and i dont mean this in a victim-blaming way. she's been writing songs about her life for a living since before he even hit puberty, it's her biggest defining feature as an artist and im pretty sure even behind the scene, she prob told him that there would be songs written about you, if that bothers you gtfo, and he didn't. For 6 whole years he had no problem with it when it painted him in a good light and she showered him with utter adoration, which honestly was just her doing what she always does - writing songs about her life & feelings. now, she's doing the same thing, but when it no longer benefits him, he wants to act like she's blindsiding him or sth. it's so fucking low, which is ironic considering i wouldnt have set the bar so high for him if it weren't for taylor praising his integrity in the first place.

i think this a good way to explain it. (sorry for the late response). but so much of our perception of joe and who he is is based on her songs, that’s a literal fact. he has been annoyed in interviews because he doesn’t want to talk his personal life and was always annoyed when anyone brought up his girlfriend of many years.

so we got one side of him from the media, which we assumed was because he didn’t like the media and thought it was invasive. but taylor gave us a different view of him as a person and that’s what the general public latched onto. but honestly… listening back to a lot of the songs it’s more about taylor’s feelings on the relationship rather than HIM, but we all assumed that she was happy because of their songs.

but… yeah. like even if he didn’t care about her public image when they met, he would still know it. especially since he was there at the worst. we even have a quote from a reputation photos that says “how would you feel having a song written about you?” that’s is a literal quote. so they obviously discussed it and worked out their relationship with it. but now that she’s doing the same thing, writing songs about her love life, the thing she’s been shamed over by the media for years, he is claiming it’s shady.

it’s just very… telling. like there’s something that happened that he is worried about being revealed. and the thing about relationships is they get messy and you say things you regret in heat of the moment, lord knows i have, so that’s a thing that happens and can be worked through depending on the situation. but if there’s something he’s worried about being revealed and tied to him… idk it’s saying a lot. he could’ve waited it out and it might’ve died down, he’s been quiet for 7 years, but him making an official statement says a lot.

[likeadevils]

I was wondering if you know who most of the songs on fearless are about? I always hear about the Joe J breakup ones etc but I guess I’ve always wondered who the love songs are about and if any are for him? I do remember she said fearless (song) was “the best first date I never had” but do you think it’s inspired by anyone?

obligatory i don’t know anything this is all speculation, and also i apologize if some of this is stuff you already know i just kinda threw it all in there

most of the vault was written before sessions for debut had wrapped, so probably drew (her first boyfriend who she dated for like a year and broke up when he went to college, our song and tim mcgraw are about him, teardrops on my guitar is about a second drew who she never dated) don’t you, that’s when, we were happy, and you all over me where all written around when they together/ breaking up (@taylor-on-your-dash’s fearless timeline is a really good resource, it’s in their pinned)

then there’s the sam armstrong chunk (normally i would feel bad putting a random guys first and last name out but he brings up at every opportunity that taylor swift wrote a song about him and has gone on like game shows and stuff about it so like idk)— come in with the rain, white horse, probably the other side of the door, you’re not sorry, and bye bye baby, maybe the way i loved you, and a slim chance of tell me why. tell me why and the way i love you could also be about a second, unnamed guy that she never fully dated, but also the degree to which she was fully dating sam is a bit hazy, so like, who knows (once again, @taylor-on-your-dash’s fearless timeline is really good, go check it out)

then we get into taylor’s single touring days. superstar is about joe nichols, probably (he was in the country music scene in the late aughts, an early version mentions the subject being born in arkansas, and there just isn’t that many famous people born there). fearless is in here, which makes me think it really is just daydreaming about a first date. fifteen mentions drew again but is mostly about abigail anderson. breathe is about emily poe, her fiddle player who left for law school. hey stephen is about stephen barker liles of the band love and theft who taylor played a gig with. he wrote this song in response, she was like 17/freshly 18 and he was six years older than her and i dont like how the song lowkey plays up her youth but whatever. you belong with me is inspired by someone in her band getting in a fight with his girlfriend but mostly fictional. love story is likely about martin johnson of the band boys like girls, who taylor was in a flirtationship with in spring 2008 (she was freshly 18 and he was 22 and her parents reportedly disapproved). they continued to be friends until 2009— she wrote two is better than one with him for his band, and you’ll always find your way back home, if this was a movie, and the unreleased drama queen together for her stuff. (gaylors like to claim she dated him for like three years because of this one reddit post and also that she wrote dear john about him, for some reason, which, no).

and then there’s the joe jonas chunk— jump then fall, today was a fairytale, forever and always, and mr. perfectly fine. and also if this was a movie, i’d you count that, which i don’t.

#asks* #sorry this took so long #also apparently i’m in a muse mood today so if you have timeline qi’s related to that apparently i’m up for it today

[taylortruther]

Do you think Joe was the first partner that Taylor had ever really considered a friend before he was a lover and consciously considered their friendship throughout the relationship alongside their romance?

I’ve been listening to a lot of Lover lately and I noticed that she refers to their friendship several times, which isn’t something she’s really sung much about before Joe. I think she’s typically someone who really likes that spark/instant chemistry/obvious romantic tension and it’s not like that was necessarily absent with Joe, but it does seem like she forced herself to hold back on jumping into the romance a lot more at first because of the state she was in at the time. I feel like because of this time and who they both are, they formed a kind of truly intimate friendship that she hadn’t really had with a bf before. Obviously idk her at all lol but she says things like “it’s nice to have a friend”/“I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this” and (imo) she seems to have had a lot of respect for Joe’s character, intentions and integrity, which isn’t something she really ever got into about her past relationships, (she has often sung about having strong romantic feelings for someone but also knowing they weren’t the best/safest person).

The way she talks about little things like “save your dirtiest jokes for me” and “sit quietly by my side in the shade” and “have my back, yeah, every day” really paints a picture of a deeper foundation between two people who just liked each other and genuinely got on with each other beyond the sex and romance — they were happy cleaning up bottles together after the party was over (“I want your dreary Mondays, too”) and I guess this was just an excuse for me to talk about how devastating the peace/NYD mashup was to hear after all that — to become a stranger whose laugh she could recognise anywhere. 👍🏼 ok :)

Glad she seems happier now though !

i love how you started and ended this ask, because i was literally thinking, "you answered your own question" jfkasld. i do think it's really notable and sweet how she weaves their friendship and romance throughout, though, because it does indicate it was special and important to her. "he built a fire just to keep me warm"... he wanted nothing from her, except to know she was safe.

for me, those friendship parallels explain so much of why this relationship was precious to her:

no one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so i've been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me and make it seem effortless -> say my name and everything just stops, i don't want you like a best friend -> all of my enemies started as friends, help me hold onto you -> bridges burn, i never learn, at least i did one thing right -> it's nice to have a friend -> please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh i could recognize anywhere
