TOMORROW X TOGETHER: 5 Things To Know About Band Performing At ‘Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’

Tomorrow X Together will ring in the New Year with Ryan Seacrest. Learn more about the K-Pop sensations here.

K-pop fans rejoice! Tomorrow X Together is set to ring in 2023 with Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. The news was announced on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022 and people couldn’t be more excited.

In a tweet, the Gen-Z band revealed they will be playing their hits “Good Boy Gone Bad” and “0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You)” from Disneyland for the celebration. Other New Year’s Rockin’ Eve performers will include Ciara, Fitz and the Tantrums, Maddie & Tae, Billy Porter, Shaggy, Ben Platt, Aly & AJ, Halle Bailey, Wiz Khalifa, Finneas, and more, according to Billboard.

Fans of the group may be well acquainted with the South Korean crooners, but many others are wondering who exactly they are. The band is made up of Yeonjun, 23, Soobin, 22, Beomgyu, 21, Taehyun, 20, and HueningKai, 20, and they’ve been singing together since 2019. In that time, they’ve become giant stars, with huge crossover vibes.

Ready to learn more about rising stars Tomorrow X Together? Find out everything here.

They debuted in 2019

Plans for TxT were teased in 2017 by their record company, Big Hit Music, but the band didn’t debut their first EP, The Dream Chapter: Star, until Mar. 2019. According to their website, their name refers to five individuals who “come together under one dream in hopes of building a better tomorrow.”

Since their start, they’ve only gotten closer. Talking to NME in 2021, HueningKai said, “Our teamwork is certainly one aspect that continues to further improve with each month and year that we spend together. We can see eye-to-eye and support one another on our journey of growth both as a team and as individuals, and I think it’s really a great thing! We’re brothers.”

TxT made Billboard history

The band’s lead single “Crown” was a big hit and it even made Billboard chart history for a time. The track entered the US Billboard 200 at number 140, making it the highest-charting debut album by a male K-pop group to that date. The song also debuted at number one on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart.

They perform in multiple languages

TxT’s first two studio albums, The Dream Chapter: Magic (2019) and The Chaos Chapter: Freeze (2021), were written and sung in Korean. They expanded their reach with 2021’s Still Dreaming, which is sung in Japanese. It consists of six Japanese versions of previous Korean hits, two new instrumental tracks, an original Japanese titled “Force”, and the band’s previous Japanese release “Everlasting Shine.”

They’re on the same label as BTS

TxT is on Big Hit Music, the same label behind BTS’s success. They were the first boy band that the label debuted since BTS’s blockbuster run began back in 2013. The project was a long time coming. Big Hit founder Bang Si-hyuk hinted at plans for the group all the way back in 2017.

The group made it clear they’re not a “little brother” band to BTS in a 2021 interview with NME. “We’ve always told our own story from our debut till today and it’s a story that many have been able to relate to precisely because it’s a very real story of people living within this generation,” they said. “We’ve worked with many genres to enhance our musical capabilities and hone our sound, and through this sound, we tell stories of our generation, a generation at the crux of growth.”

youtube

The band announced plans to release the album The Name Chapter in Nov 2022. It follows their earlier EPs The Dream Chapter and The Chaos Chapter.

They teased the album with a dreamy concept trailer in early Dec. 2022, seen on Billboard. In the teaser, TxT floats around freely before being pulled up by a demon via marionette strings. Left stranded, they’re forced to take a leap of faith.

Children of Anura - ( ideas and concepts )

A xenofiction collection/story that follows a young female american bullfrog named Cricket, who starts off as an egg and follows her journey into adulthood.

Below is a WIP of the bullfrog dictionary.

(updated periodically)

Anurani: The generalized language of frogs and toads. Each species has their own dialect, and even differing populations within the same species may have their own vocal quirks; similar to people. Salamanders, newts, and caecilians have their own languages- but any and all amphibians can learn to speak one another’s.

Anura: An important figure with most modern amphibians, past and present. She is rumored to have been the very “first” amphibian, who is believed to have lived hundreds of millions of years ago. She is also a representation of water, prosperity, heath, fertility, and life within amphibian culture. Known as Ichthyostega by humans.

Season of Song: The time of year when bullfrogs awaken and flora begins to sprout. Frogs spend their time finding mates and celebrating new growth and life. Akin to Spring.

Season of Spawn: The time of year when the sun is at its hottest and highest, tadpoles begin to hatch, while first or second year tadpoles develop limbs. Life and food is plenty. Akin to Summer.

Season of Sedentary: The time of year when the land begins to fall cold, and plants slowly wither and die. Food is scarce and the frogs become lethargic. Akin to Autumn.

Season of Sleep: The time of year when bullfrogs brumate at the bottom of a pond or creek, and earth is frozen. Snow begins to fall and they stay asleep until spring. Akin to Winter.

The Long Drowse: Brumation, the amphibian and reptile term for torpor and hibernation.

Brume: The astral or spiritual remains of an animal after they have passed. Akin to spirits.

Safepool: A place where bullfrogs gather to breed and live. Can be anything from creeks, ponds, fens, swamps, vernal pools, lakes, etc.

Stalwart: The largest, strongest, and healthiest of a group of male bullfrogs. Usually possesses the best patch of territory within a safepool in terms of food and shelter for offspring. Will dominate other frogs in regards to land, food, and mating rights. The highest ranking title a male bullfrog can have.

Dowager: The largest and healthiest of a group of female bullfrogs. Has seasoned more offspring than others, and often dominates most of the female frogs in terms of food and shelter. The highest ranking title a female bullfrog can have.

Colony: The general bodily population of bullfrogs in a safepool.

Wogs: Infant bullfrogs; tadpoles. (1 day to 1 year of age)

Tads: Tadpoles who have began to develop arms and legs. (2-3 years of age)

Freshies: Subadult bullfrogs who have fully and freshly metamorphized. (3-4 years of age)

Bull: A male bullfrog (5-10 years of age)

Sow: A female bullfrog (5-10 years of age)

Snuggery: A safe place designated for eggs and tadpoles inside the safepool, often in a deeper area tucked away from potential land or aquatic predators. Akin to a nursery.

Drifter: A bullfrog who does not live within a stable body of water or territory; a wanderer. Not many frogs commit to this risky lifestyle.

Croonsong: A special and unique mating call that every male bullfrog performs come springtime.

Crooner: A slang term for male bullfrog who often has the best sounding call and voice among others.

Nullcroaker: A slang term for cursing. Often used towards other bullfrogs.

Prill: Waste/droppings. May also be used as a curse word.

Slipping skin: To shed one’s skin. Molting.

Brume-warming: To sunbathe, absorbing heat from the sun and warming the soul.

Tag-legger: A best friend, companion.

Squark/Squarking: The defensive cry that a bullfrog emits when in danger. Can be defensive or offensive, and depends on the tone.

Freshcatch: Fresh prey; often insects, fish, and other small organisms.

Sourcatch: Toxic, old, or inedible prey.

Brutebelly: A cannibal. Done by choice or when opportunity arises. May occur more during the fall or winter when food is especially scarce. Many bullfrogs look down upon this behavior unless absolutely necessary.

Drub/Drubbing: A physical fight between bullfrogs, often intense and aggressive. Many males during mating season will often get into drubs with each other.

Wakelight: Akin to morning.

Weelight: Akin to noon.

Wanelight: Akin to evening.

Wakedark: Akin to dusk.

Weedark: Akin to midnight.

Wanedark: Akin to dawn.

Fink: Predatory animals, enemies of bullfrogs. Generalized for all predatory species.

Flee-The-Fink: A traditional frog game in which one player takes on the role of predator, and the others pretend to hide. Similar to hide-and-seek.

Bluff-drubbing: A traditional frog game in which young juvenile bullfrogs wrestle for fun. May also help with practice when the time eventually comes for them to choose a mate and battle for territory and dominance.

Gravesick: A fatal illness that often spreads to frogs and other amphibians, sometimes fish and reptiles. Known as Ranavirus by humans. The mortality rate is almost always deadly.

The restaurant where we had lunch was playing 50s/60s jukebox hits at an earsplitting decibel level but exclusively the white male crooner genre and it was so bad that it was actually starting to make it impossible for me to concentrate and my dad unprompted literally said we probably won't come here again when we're trying to talk

#play the supremes or something I'm begging you because I'm about to shoot paul anka with a gun #feel like I'm trapped in a mad men exposition montage help me

short version: if my great grandfather's family hadn't left austria, he wouldn't have met my great grandmother, who wouldn't have had my grandma, who wouldn't have had my mother, who wouldn't have had me

also, my mom is convinced i was my great grandfather's favorite for a divine reason and that we're very alike, therefore, i have his taste in music, therefore i like 1950s crooners, therefore, i found dean, therefore, because i am a male-attracted person with eyeballs, i have a crush

19,23 for your gorgeous Virgile, also i have a little crush on him☺️🖤

Awwww that's sweet ! Virgile is like

and blushes ♥♥ thanks for him

[oc asks if you’re interested]

19- are they quick to anger? what sets them off?

Virgile is a fake calm. It takes time to make him angry and even if you do, he'll rarely show it. He'll get annoyed and shut down, but rarely strike back. But if you do manage to make him angry, well done, but watch out. It's as spectacular as it is terrifying. Fortunately, it's very rare.

To annoy him, it's quite simple: just be stupid enough and stubborn enough to insist on something that isn't true; come and disturb him when he's busy…

To make him angry, all you have to do is touch the people he loves. His family, Panam, Valentin, his friends … you hurt them, you'll pay the consequences! He's a skilled netrunner, and he knows how to use it. He's already wiped out a Raffen den just because they'd kidnapped Panam, and he's burnt down a scav area to save Valentin. He hates killing, but he wouldn't hesitate to do it for those he loves!

23- how would you describe their voice? can they sing?

For a long time, Virgile had Italian male v voice for me. But baby blue doesn't speak enough Italian on a daily basis (unlike Enzo), but i didn't find the perfect one for now. For me, his voice is quite deep, calm, with a slight western accent and Italian on some words (the Italian comes out especially with strong emotions). Sometimes he rolls an -r in the middle of a sentence, which is pretty random because he lost a lot of his accent when he came to live in Night City. He doesn't speak very loudly and his elocution is very good. His voice is pleasant to listen to and he makes a very good reader (Panam approves).

And he sings well. His voice is deep, he'd be more of a crooner than a loud voice, he can't hit the high notes, but he covers Elvis Presley songs very well, for example.

Gossip Girl Playlists: Theatre Kid AU edition!—Serena’s

[Blair's] [Dan’s] [Nate’s]

I don’t even remember exactly how this started, but it’s @strideofpride’s fault.

The concept began as: if they were in this world, what would be in the GG mains’ MT books? What would be their go-to song? Their 16 bar cut? And then, I got on spotify, and got wayyyy too carried away (typical me), and it sort of morphed into: what are the NJBC’s (plus Daniel’s) senior musical theatre recital programs? And now I have this: a quartet of playlists of repertoire handpicked by me for these fake people, and I am very proud of them.

All selections based on my very particular taste, honed from a childhood in community theater, an adolescence in high school musicals, and a 4 year degree from a majority musical theatre school

And, as in the tradition of Glee and all plays within a play, the rep reflects something profoundly personal about the character, because you know I love a theme.

the meta:

So Serena’s type…it’s the same with Nate, too, in that people try to pigeon-hole her into one, but she’s not really into it. She isn’t one for the leading ladies for multiple reasons: a): her personality does not vibe, because the villains and the old ladies (and the overlap of both) is so much more fun to her, b): she’s kind of shut herself out of wanting to be for Blair’s sake, because she doesn’t want to compete with her for the same stuff, and c): she’s as tall/taller than most male leads in her program.

Her voice: hmmmmmm she IS a belter, or can be one, but it’s not — it’s not this weak sauce, nasal belting, and it isn’t high, like she’s not up in the stratosphere, yk? It’s a little rough and tumble, deeper, rounder, lower. She can get Up There, but it’s not where she lives. (Like S floated Laura Bell Bundy, but her voice is SO high, and rings in a way that’s so specific to her that I don’t really hear it for Serena. It’s a vibe, idk.)

Oh, and she’s a ~dancer~ like Natie.

References: Bernadette Peters, Jane Krakowski, Kristin Chenoweth (for the Comedy and for that oldies golden-age country crooner kind of belt), and early Idina Menzel, pre-Elphaba pre-let’s write roles that shouldn’t be physiologically possible, and a girl from my voice studio I’ll call Heather, because she looked a bit like Blake Lively and had the voice I’m casting in this playlist.

the tracklist:

Don’t Tell Mama — Cabaret

It’s just…so perfect. On so many meta-levels

Sally Bowles does not want you to tell her mother about her career change

A Trip to the Library — She Loves Me

Bc S’s au was so SPOT ON with this casting choice, omg.

The darling, if a little bit ditzy, Ilona is definitely over her ex now, after a meet cute in the library.

A Cockeyed Optimist — South Pacific

The only leading lady that both Blair and Serena are perfectly suited for. Imagine a plot where they both go out for it, then are double cast, all that delicious blairena drama…

Nellie talks to the dapper Emil, and reveals her personality, unshaken despite literally living in the middle of a world war

Sonya & Natasha (duet w/ Blair) — Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

I really think this works best with the duet and solo ballad playing one right after the other. it’s all that stuff all those web weaving posts are about, girls loving with claw marks and teeth and blood but nobody else will love you as fiercely and as loyally. It’s the best friendship of it all.

Natasha’s cousin-but-good-as-sister Sonya discovers and calls her out on her emotional affair with a RAKE to whom she is not engaged. Absolutely brutal girl-best-friend fight ensues.

Sonya Alone — Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

When her cousin shuts her out, Sonya remains determined to save her from herself.

Through the Mountain — Floyd Collins

A hidden gem in a hidden gem of an esoteric kind of musical. But the song is gorgeous (also composed by Richard Rogers’ grandson Adam Guettel, in a genre I’m calling neoromantic bluegrass)

I picked the Audra performance bc I love her, and for the guitar, because musician!Dan my most beloved

While her brother, Floyd, is trapped in an underground cave, Nellie sings this promise to save him.

Over the Moon — Rent

Like, ~serena the actress~ not doing Maureen is so implausible I cannot entertain the notion. Also, like, just imagine her in a performance—not even the whole show, just her recital or a cabaret—getting the crowd to moo with her. Only thee SVDW could.

Take It Like a Man (duet w/ Dan) — Legally Blonde

I stand by what I said earlier re: Laura Bell Bundy, and while Serena is not a “so much better” belter, she could so sell this. And with Dan!!! It’s perfect!

Okay I have strong opinions on this but this is actually a perfect, feel-good musical. So many bangers, a genius adaptation of a beloved film, a balance that not many musicals in the same genre strike. (a guy judged me recently for calling it perfect and honestly fuck that guy. anyways).

Elle takes her best law school friend, Emmett, shopping for grownup lawyer clothes for their case. Feelings ensue.

Gorgeous — The Apple Tree: Passionella

Okay so I’ve never seen this show, but this song is basically about a “homely” girl who magically becomes ~sexy~ and she is Living for it — it’s a twist on the Cinderella myth, essentially. It was made famous by KChen in a revival.

Turn Back, O Man — Godspell

For no other reason than I can imagine Serena having the most fun with it.

The legendary Stephen Schwartz musical in which the only named characters are Judas and Jesus, it’s a…loose storytelling of the gospel.

The designated soloist opens Act II with this song, which, for telling people to forswear sin and give up things of this world, it sounds hella sexy. (I chose the revival w/ Morgan James bc she’s one of my fave singers and hoooo. She can wail.)

Hard to Be the Bard — Something Rotten

A gender-bender song because Serena would. And let us never forget Serena, Founder of the Shakespeare Club my beloved.

Poor ol’ Billy Shakes is struggling with the trappings of fame.

Changing My Major — Fun Home

Harold.

College-age Alison wakes up after a night of passion (her very first one) and is adorably and emotionally changed forever.

The Life of the Party — The Wild Party

It’s Serena (one aspect of her character) wrapped up into one MT song. It’s perfect.

A musical about a Fitzgerald kind of bacchanal, during which things get truly wild: alcohol, abuse, adultery….murder. Kate, a flapper if there ever was one, opens Act 2 with a salute to the party life.

If You Ever See Me Talking to a Sailor — The Last Ship

Remember when Sting wrote a musical about some gruff northern english shipbuilders? No? Well, it kind of flopped, BUT I think it’s great. And the music slaps (it’s by Sting, hello) and this song slaps.

Meg, a badass MILF who’s been hurt one too many times tells everyone in the pub of this seaside town why sailor’s ain’t shit. because her first love ran away on a boat after he (unknowingly) knocked her up? maybe so.

If You Hadn’t But You Did — Two on the Aisle

Written for a 50s Bway revue, KChen revived this into one of her staples on a studio recording. The wronged woman, but make it both deadly AND hilarious. And patter.

Mamma Mia — Mamma Mia

Because S said it belonged here and she is RIGHT. Like, in a ~serena the Actress~ world, I see her starting off with the Maureens and the comic sexy relief before happily aging into Donna and everything Bernadette Peters ever did.

Donna, on this, the eve of her daughter’s wedding, discovers that not one, but three of her exes (and all incidentally the possible biological father of said daughter) have been invited. Shenanigans and Abba ensue.

People — Funny Girl

Idk if I would have her do this whole role, but I think she would love Babs and love this song (and she can absolutely do “Jingle Bells?” as a party trick at holiday gigs).

Fanny Brice, charismatic comedienne full of ambition sings this number towards the close of act 1, as she begins to fall for Nicky Arnstein.

Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again (duet with Blair) — as performed by Judy and Barbra

It’s about the BEST FRIENDS. And about that gorgeous, full, round, vibratoed belt.

A mashup duet made famous from Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand’s performance on the Judy Garland show. Judy sings Harold Arlen’s “Get Happy” which she made famous in the movie Summer Stock, and Babs sings Milton Ager’s pop standard “Happy Days,” one of her most famous singles.

#gossip girl #serena van der woodsen #*ggmt #playlist #theatre kid!serena is actually something that can be so personal #i think this is my favorite of them all #on today's episode of liz was a music major and she's gonna make it everyone's problem #help i can’t stop thinking about serena playling maureen #source: homeofthenutty #source: senamarais #fun fact one of my best friend's married a man named Joe. so he sings 'changing my major' but makes it 'changing my major to joe'#and it's the sweetest fucking thing #they're Goals tbh #i know I said she wouldn't play elle woods and then put legally blonde on the list #but let me defend that by saying 'take it like a man' and 'so much better' are not in the same vocal universe #so much better does slap though

Oh The Places We Will Go

Summary: Elvis Presley is refusing to go on the fair circuit without his younger cousin Sylvie, he doesn’t want to leave her behind like he has to leave behind his parents and girlfriend. After much begging, Sylvie agrees to go.

Rated T for language.

Mostly fluff.

Word Count 1176

Masterlist

There wasn’t much space in the small two bedroom apartment that the Presleys lived in and it had become more crowded when Sylvie, the daughter of Vernon’s recently deceased brother moved in. But they liked it that way, they liked having family close. And was the exact reason why Elvis was suggesting that Sylvie come with him on the circuit. “I don’t know El.’ Sylvie commented as she curled herself into the sofa, “Do you really want me hanging around and ruining things?”

She had briefly met Colonel Tom Parker on her way out of the apartment to her part time job at the diner and something about him creeped her out and he was against any sort of followers except for the band and male family members.

“What does Penguin Man think about it?” Penguin Man was the nickname that she and the other cousins were calling the Colonel behind his back. A nickname that at first annoyed Elvis but now it made him laugh.

“Who cares? You are family. Can’t have Mama and Daddy with me or my girl. But I can have you.” Sylvie chewed on her lower lip looking everywhere but her cousin. She knew as soon as she did that she was going to say okay, and uproot her life.

“Please Syliva, watch out for my son. For your cousin.” Gladys pleaded going to sit next to her on the sofa, “I will worry if he doesn’t have someone with him.” The elder Mrs Presley didn’t trust Scotty, DJ and Will as far as they could throw them. She grasped the younger girl’s hands, “Please.”

Inhaling deeply, she turned to look at them both and nodded her head, “Fine, I will go. But I will not, I mean it Elvis, I will not take orders from the Penguin man. I am not working for him. I am there for you. That is it.” The crooner nodded his head and pulled her into a hug muttering a promise to her.

** As Sylvie thought the Colonel wasn’t happy about her appearance with Elvis or how easily she fit in with everything he had going on. She had a better control of his boy and his band then he had, she spoke and they listened.

She had even gotten them and some of the workers to go to the local churches. Including Hank Snow, Jr, who followed her around like a lost puppy dog. If he had been so annoyed he would have found it funny. And he tried to get her alone to talk to her but she refused to be anywhere around him, and Elvis kept him away, saying that his cousin was his business alone. For this plan to work, he had to have her on his side.

It took weeks but he finally found the time to talk to the girl. She was alone in her hotel room, putting away clean clothes into suitcases.

“Sylvie, my dear, can I talk to you?” He asked, knocking his cane on the side of the door. Startled, the younger Presley looked up and dropped one of the pairs of pants she had folded onto top of the suitcase.

“What can I help you with, Colonel?” She was pleading desperately for Elvis or one of the boys to come in and save her. “We need to talk about your position with Elvis Presley Incorporated.” Confused, she raised her eyebrows and busied her hands with folding more clean laundry. “Your cousin’s company. I am surprised he hasn’t told you about it.” “Elvis tries not to talk about his career with me sir, I am only here to be a source of home for him.” The Colonel laughed at that, Sylvie meant so much more to his boy then just being a source of home to him. She was the little angel sitting on his shoulder, telling him not to do things that would embarrass his mama or his daddy.

She was a moral compass.

“My dear, you are so much more than just that. You are his moral compass, the little girl his family took in after your daddy died in a mining accident.” Sylvie’s hands crumpled the clean blouse she had in her hands, no one outside of their family knew the reason why Vernon and Gladys took her in. “How did you find that out?” “I know everything about Slyvia. I know that your mama died giving birth to you. And that your daddy was so devastated that he didn’t want you around and that you were all but shoved into the arms of Elvis’ family.”

“What do you want from me?” She questioned, “I am not leavin’. I made a promise to his mama that I would stay with him.”

“I know that, we are just going to give you a more defined role.”

She sank down on the bed still clutching her blouse, she was torn between anger and fear. Anger that Elvis had told this man that she didn’t trust her story and anger that this man was trying to use it against her. And fear that it was going to get out and she was going to be indebted to him somehow.

** Elvis let himself into his cousin’s hotel room and was surprised to see her sitting on the bed, a crumpled white blouse in her lap, and dark mascara tears down her face.

“What’s wrong?” He questioned as he lowered himself down on the bed next to her. “The Colonel paid me a visit. He brought my daddy.”

The older Presley ran his hand over his face before he pulled her into a hug.

`He wants me to be a part of your company.” “Well I do too sweetheart.’ He started, “I want to be able to give you anr our family everything we could ever want or need.” He reached for the worn out red leather journal, the first thing that he had been able to buy her after he started playing and winning contests.

“Don’t you want to go to Paris?” Sylvie had torn out a picture of the Eiffel Tower out of a magazine and stuck it in the book. “See Washington DC? And see where your great granddaddy died at Gettysburg.”

She nodded her head sniffing back the tears.

“Doing this we can see that. Any place you or mama want to see we will go.” He promised, “And if he tries anything again you can tell him off or come and get me.” Sylvie nodded her head, much like her aunt, there was nothing she wouldn’t do for him.

Europe – cities like London, and Paris especially. meticulous gardens, gambling, and the exertion of power. DISLIKES: the smell of fish, intensive labor (or any labor), household chores, pop music (groups like The Beatles, Herman's Hermits, and the Monkees he regards as exceedingly silly), rock music, flared trousers, denim, children, sweet flavors including fruits like strawberry and banana, his own son, his own wife, Burke Devlin, public transport, Midwestern scenery, foreign languages, calculations, fields, dirt. DISPOSITION: very snooty and thinks extremely high of himself, but lazy, and accomplishes little. functioning alcoholic. raised in wealth and reflects an old-money set of gentlemanly behaviors, but quite bitchy and rude even to his own family.

Bio:

Born eight years after his elder sister, Liz, Roger was always the runt of the Collins litter, the unwanted pup that could do very little right in his family's eyes ( or in anyone else's, for that matter. ) his mother, Catherine, had died in childbirth, and Roger never entire shook off the suspicion that his father and sister blamed him for his mother's death, instead of that insipid, stupid Collins family physician. he spent his childhood living in an heir's lap of luxury, playing on the grounds of the Collinwood estate, tormenting his sister, practically begging for attention from his father, and getting into all sorts of mischief along the way. as he got older, he was sent to a private boarding school ( mostly to get him out of his father's hair ), then to Branford College at Yale. he majored in business, mostly on his father's wishes (he would have preferred classics, or drama) but it was easy to cheat along the way and not too hard. job prospects didn't matter: his family would continue to cushion him, as they always had. so his school years were, by far, the best of his life: he cherished the homosocial, free environment of college boys, the absence of any responsibility, the strange rituals and secret societies, and perhaps most of all, the money. at Yale, more even than at home, Roger adopted a taste for the finer things and wealthier people in life, much preferring the pretentious, secluded social atmosphere.

When he came home from school, he took a minor office position at the cannery more out of boredom than anything else ( and bored he was. his father endlessly scolded for arriving late, leaving early, showing up drunk or simply not showing up at all ). his delightful sister had married truly the cream of the crop Paul Stoddard, who he couldn't much stand to be around, and Roger avoided home at all costs. his niece, Carolyn, was the only thing that redeemed Paul, and the only good thing he'd given his sister: she was a delightful little child, pretty, and happy, and always pleased to be in her young uncle's arms.

their father died when he was still in his early twenties, and although Liz cried for days on end, Roger couldn't have cared less about the old bastard. better, he'd left Roger half the money and shares in the company. he quickly spent up ever last dime of the inheritance, and put his shares up at auction to generate more –– though Liz swooped in to buy them up in some misguided notion of Collins family honor. shortly after the death of his father, Roger fell in with Laura Murdoch and Burke Devlin in a fine little trio, and they spent the majority of their time in Collinsport cruising the streets, drinking, and smoking at the docks. Laura eventually chose Burke as her official romantic partner, which irritated Roger to no end: he never stopped trying to prove himself superior to Burke in birth and quality, even after they were eventually married.

then came the accident. in 1957, Roger was cruising with Laura and Burke, all three piss-drunk and already angry at each other for some petty argument he's long since forgotten. the car hit a pedestrian and killed them. Burke Devlin would long maintain that Roger was at the wheel that night, and Roger that it had been Devlin driving. regardless of the truth, Elizabeth managed to protect her brother from a prison sentence for manslaughter, and Burke served the sentence in his place, forming a long-standing hatred for Roger and the entire Collins family and everything that they stood for. in exchange for her protection, Elizabeth ordered Roger out of Collinsport ( oh, twist his arm! ) sending him small payments to help get him on his feet. Roger married Laura the day after the trial, more of a final, smug victory over Burke than a gesture of true, lasting love, and the two relocated to Augusta, Maine. very shortly after they were married, Laura revealed that she was pregnant. Roger was never certain that he was in fact the father, not Burke, and the suspicions formed a deep-seated hatred for his son, David, from the moment he was born. he was nothing like Carolyn. fussy as a baby, taking away all of Laura's attention, and unusual, morose and disturbing as he grew.

Laura's own health and mental well-being gradually declined, due to a combination of alcoholism and mental illness, and Roger had her confined to a hospital and the two permanently separated, though without a formal divorce. shortly after, feeling financial pressures ( and sick of taking care of David on his own ), Roger returned to Collinwood –– much to the annoyance of his sister. his arrival very nearly coincided with the end of Burke's prison sentence and his old enemy's return to Collinsport.
