Feeling like dropping a random piece of information rn from my au
Tango and Jimmy have a grave case of "it's so painfully obvious they like each other but neither can see the other likes them " so bad that it is not only gossip inside Williams garage but in the WHOLE paddock
When Gem moved to Mercedes she got assigned Impulse as her race engineer, let's just say they bonded alot over the pain of seeing those two being so oblivious lol

from faith
ashlyn,
i didn’t write last month because last month was one of the worst i’ve had in a long time. i won’t go into the details (mostly because some of them have already resolved themselves), but the big takeaway is that my mom does not have cancer, being the only one left in your parents house sucks, 300 milligrams of wellbutrinXL is not enough, and bring a blanket the next time you spend the entire night in a hospital waiting room. 
petsmart can suck my dick. curious as to why, but ill take your word for it. fuck petsmart. i've always thought there was this unsaid understanding that if you ever needed me, regardless of what is going on with us or with ourselves, if you call i'll always answer. but ill say it still. there will be times when your heart feels broken, or things in life are all array, things that i wont be able to prevent from happening to you. but you wont ever have to go through those things feeling lonely- that, i can prevent. that, ill never let you be. i am so sorry about pokey, i could tell you loved him. sometimes when i lose things love, or break them or whatever, i find comfort in telling myself that i wasn't prepared for them at the time, we couldn't give each other what we needed. and when the time comes when im older, or more prepared, thats when ill meet them again. maybe in another form, maybe in different ways, but always inevitably mine again. i haven't been wrong yet.
writing these are kind of hard, because i cant remember what you know and dont know. it kind of just feels like you were with me the whole time. we can start with i almost got kicked out of school in january. ACTUALLY, i did get kicked out of school. they disqualified me. luckily, my circumstances were deemed dire enough and the appeal i sent in was accepted so they let me continue under the conditions that i got my grades up. which i did, which i probably owe to the fact that i moved back on campus. the whole thing isn’t such a big deal now, but for weeks during winter break i was hiding it from my parents, having panic attacks every night, crying and dreading every second i was awake. 
that’s how it is though. every time something bad happens, i think its the end of the world. i think, “there’s no way im getting myself out of this one, might as well pack my bags and give up on living the rest of my life”. day to day, i can never concern myself with future issues or taking preventative measures but when i finally do meet those issues i’ve put of my mind for so long, i mourn the hardest. its my worst attribute. where it takes a person 1 mistake to learn, it takes me 5. since realizing this, its the one i work hardest to erase now. prevents me from catastrophizing. plus, its comforting to tell myself that when bad things happen, its not the end of the world. even if i dont believe it.  
“the last few months, i’ve been working on me, baby
there's so much trauma in my life
i’ve been so cold to the ones who loved me, baby
i look back now and i realize”

Tumblr media
------------------------------------
Standing on your balcony you realized just how much of a beautiful night it was in New Orleans. The sounds of music and people talking downstairs echoed throughout the compound. But you could not bring yourself to attend the party your family was hosting tonight. All you could think about was you long distance boyfriend, Stefan Salvatore. It has been about half a year sense you father uprooted you again to move back to New Orleans.
Ever sense you started to walk, your life was a constant move. Your father, Klaus Mikaelson, constantly kept on your toes growing up. When you moved to Mystic falls, he had promised you a home there. That you could finally settle down, go to public school and be a normal human teenager. That changed though once you met a Stefan. It got worse when over time though, Klaus could never live a peaceful life. Wither he was trying to sire hybrids, dealing with his daggered siblings, or your “Favorite” when he tortured some of you newly found friends (Mystic falls gang) you had made at high school.
Sense Klaus had caught wind about Hayley and the baby you’ve been here ever sense. Sadly, though your father is not impressed with Stefan and you dating. In the words of your great father, he had exiled Stefan from ever stepping a foot onto New Orleans soil. If he had it, his way Stefan probably could never come to Louisiana.
Sighing you looked up at the sky watching as the stars twinkle. Maybe Stefan was watching the stars where he was at. You missed him so much the long distance was killing you. Even worse with an unaccepting family.
“You know, you look prettier when you smile” It was a voice you recognized oh so well.
Looking down a smile broke out on your face “What are you doing here? Stefan my da- “You whispered/yell at him.
“I’m here to see you. I thought tonight would be the perfect night to come visit you. You said it yourself, your family is distracted right now with the party they are throwing. *Jumps onto the balcony with you* They wont even know I was here. Ill be gone before the party ends” Stefan says smiling his hand goes to your cheek “Six months have been way to long” He says before kissing you.
“We’re going to get caught Stefan...” You whispered wrapping your arms around his neck.
“They won’t, the party so loud I bet no vampire or hybrid will be able to hear up here” he told you watching your eyes sparkle as you gaze up at him.
“I can’t believe you’re here” You whispered to him.  You needed this. Him being here its what you needed. The distance, and stress was killing you inside.
“of course, I am” He whispered to you. He moved his hand to you cheek to cup it. “I missed touching your skin so much. I can’t put to words how much I missed you. Damon was begging me to shut up about you” His chuckle echoing throughout your ears.
“Oh my god, Damon! I miss everyone so much. Especially Caroline, did I tell you she writes letters to me keeping me “up to data” with the drama” You smile taking his hand from your cheek guiding him into your room.
“I’m not surprised, she fought hard trying to get your father to let you stay with her. “He comments, his eyes though focused on looking around your room. Artwork hung on your walls, pictures of family and your friends from Mystic falls.
“I never thought you would have kept this picture” he says grabbing the picture of him and you kissing during Christmas.
“of course, I did its one of my favorites on this wall” You commented wrapping your arms around him.” I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the fact you are here…even though you shouldn’t. I just have a bad feeling something terrible is going to happen Stefan” You said laying your head on his arm.
Smiling he wrapped his arms around you “Nothings going to happen, the only thing that will happen is me kissing my girlfriend” he says kissing you again. But this time the kiss has more need in it. You missed each other in more than one way. He was your first, ever sense that day you’ve both been addicted to each other.
One thing led to another and you ended up on your bed. Your hips straddling Stefan kissing him. Both of you topless as you were getting lost in each other euphoria’s. His hands were rested on your hips helping you as you grinded yourself down on him. Removing your hands from him you reach back taking your bra off letting your breast free.
A low groan can be heard coming from Stefan’s throat. “Fuck y/n” he moaned again opening his eyes to flip you over, so he was in the middle of your legs now. He had sat up starting to remove the remainder of both of your cloths. Then here you both where staring into each other’s eyes as his manhood was lined up to your perky hole.
“please Ste- “
“that’s not my name baby girl.”
“Daddy please…. I need you so badly” you whined spreading your legs further apart for him.
“your wish is my command my princess” he says and with that he plunges himself inside of you without a warning.
You missed all the feeling you were feeling right now. You could only do so much with only your fingers. But this was pure heaven the way he worked on you he knew everything. And with how good this felt you could tell he missed you just as much, or maybe even more.
“I missed this pussy so fucking much. I’m never going to leave you again you hear me. I’m going to find a way to rescue you from your family” He moans to you as his thrusts pick up some pace.
“AHHH DADDY don’t stop!” You moan out loudly, the sound of the bed banging against the wall echoing all the way down to the party, but you didn’t care anymore. All you could think about was Stefan and how he was making you feel. He was everywhere, his kiss traveling all around your body. The way his hips rammed into yours it was addicting like ecstasy.
“I’m close daddy” You moaned out pulling at the dirty blonde’s hair.
“Then cum with me baby” He whispered into your ear. He was throbbing inside you. As soon as your walls started to clench around him that when both of you cumed.
Panting you laid down on the bed covering up with a thin sheet as Stefan stood up putting his boxers on.
“Y/N?!” You could hear your father. Your worst nightmare was about to come true.
“Stefan you have to- “You tried to warn but it was to late. Your door flew off the hinges revealing your father, uncles, and aunt.
“Klaus wait I can explain” Stefan says trying to calm him down before everything escalates.
“well, surprising to see you here Stefan?” Klaus began. It was all a blur from there. Klaus had Stefan up against the wall, his forearm on his neck pushing him into the wall while holding his arm behind his back. Elijah was next to him.
“Dad don’t!” You yelled wrapping the sheet around your body as you stood up.
“Why should I? You blatantly disrespect me and your whole family! And as for Stefan he is good as dead Y/N! I have told you countless times that Stefan Salvatore is no good for you!” he yelled putting more pressure on to his neck.
“I should bring him downstairs and execute him in front of everyone. Make a display of what happens when people don’t take my threats seriously” Klaus spat out wrapping his forearm around Stefan’s neck to move him now so you can see him.
“Elijah please! Don’t let him do this to me!” You begged standing up trying to reason with him to convince Klaus to reconsider. But Rebekah held you back standing in your way of Stefan. Stefan was trying to wrestle his way out of Klaus hold, but sadly the hybrid was stronger.
“You know the consequence of your actions y/n, and the turmoil that him and his friends have caused this family. You’re lucky that he was still alive after the things he pulled. I have to agree with Niklaus on this “Elijah said not daring to look you into your eyes though.
“Well, we better get going so we are not holding the party up” Klaus says.
“Rebekah pleaseee… Don’t let him do this to me. You of all people should understand the pain and torture of having them kill someone you love. Please, don’t let them put me through the same pain. I cannot deal with the thought of him being dead because he loves the wrong girl… Please Rebekah save him for me” You pleaded grabbing ahold of your aunts arm as tears streamed down your face. You needed to save Stefan, he needed to be alive. Your words clicked inside of Rebekah’s head. She always says that girls need to stick together. Plus, you were right, she couldn’t let her baby niece feel the same pain her brothers had inflicted on her so many times throughout the thousand years they have been alive. Looking into her sweet nieces eyes she let you go turning to face her brothers.
With that she looked at Elijah first snaping his neck so he would be out of the situation. She could only deal with one brother at a time.
“What have you done Rebekah” Klaus spoke in a state of disbelief at her snaping Elijah’s neck.
“Nik! You can’t do this to her! Take it from the girl that loves to easily, Y/N will resent you for the rest of her human life if you kill Stefan. There has to be another way you can punish both without just murdering him!” Rebekah says standing in front of Klaus as he read his sister.
“what are they going to say if I don’t kill him. *gestures to the party going on downstairs*He blatantly chose not to listen to me when I said to stay away from my daughter” Klaus argues looking at Rebekah.
“Who cares what those people think Klaus! We are talking about your daughter boyfriend. You are the king of New Orléans! But you kill Stefan now you will lose your daughter with him. Shell hate and resent you” Rebekah yells out to him as she threw her hands up in the air. Klaus looked at you then, the tears that streamed down your face. Your heart racing, your body shaking at how scared you were. You feared Klaus in that moment, and that’s what broke him.
“Fine you win this one Rebekah. I will spare his life for Y/N. But I only have one condition” Klaus says still holding onto Stefan preventing him from moving.
“Y/N I love you” Stefan mouthed to you as he tried to break free of Klaus’s hold one more time.
“Anything if it keeps this pour girl from witnessing what I have far too many times” Rebekah says.
Klaus nodded his head, ramming Stefan into the wall again. His hand grabbing onto Stefan’s face the other on his chest to keep him still. Staring into Stefan’s eyes he said “You will forget about ever loving my daughter. You will only know her as Klaus Mikaelson daughter and with that you know not to come near her. All the feeling of love and happiness with her you will now know as unpleasant and awkwardness. You will understand that you will never be enough for her. You don’t deserve her and never will. You will remember nothing about her whereabouts since she left. And when you return home you will tell everyone that you came to speek to me about past issues. But when it comes to y/n you said hi to her and that was it. You will return home and never look back.” Klaus says letting his face go as the compulsion takes control.
“Father no!” You yelled; Rebekah had to hold you again.
“Now my old friend, what do you think about my daughter” Klaus asks looking at him.
“She is a nice person, but she’s Klaus’s daughter.” He says with a hint of distaste in his voice.
“very good, now leave my house the way you came” Klaus says pointing to the balcony. Stefan nodded his head putting his shirt and shoes back on before he disappeared off the balcony.
“How could you?” You asked looking at Klaus as you were hysterical. “You might as well have killed him making him forget about me!” You screamed as the tears kept flowing down your face.
“Ill talk to you tomorrow morning. Better get some rest angel” Klaus says helping Elijah out of the room as he regained his composure.
Once your father and uncle left the room Rebekah had let you go. It pained her to see you so upset. You got dressed again once everything settled down. But you were numb inside.
“Ill stay with you for the rest of the night Y/N if you want. I don’t want to leave you alone while you are in this state” Rebekah says sitting down on the bed next to you as you just stared off into the balcony blankly.
“Do as you please… I just want this day to be over” You mumbled turning your back on her as you laid down curled up with a pillow that Stefan gave you.
“Well than, Im going to take that as an invitation to spend the night with you” Rebekah said moving closer to you. You turned to face her then wrapping your arms around her to cry into her shoulder.
“There there… we will fix this one way or the other” Rebekah whispered to you as she consulted you the rest of the night intel you had fallen asleep.

session 63 end
Tumblr media
okayyy. neat-fucking-o. thats done and boy OH FUCKING BOY i have a lot to say. and this is going to get mildly serious. sorry. theres a lot to uncover this session which basically is just one huge overall plot point. the whole timeline shindig. the thing that has messed me up for a few hours ngl.
man.... this is gonna be a long one. im not even exaggerating. (still, a tldr at the end)
so, the main thing besides from the time shindig plot, which is both important and essential and precious: DAVESPRITE <3 
k cool. ill expand on that throughout this whole note, but would rather like to make a whole analogy first before i do so.
so, to start off from last session, dave went back in time to fix jade and john’s death.
but i guess, from what ive read, GC never realized what she did was bad. she basically screwed everyone over and dave had to go back to fix things, which yes, does sound bad. but honestly? i dont think she really realized how bad it was until davesprite had the talk with her. and now they are both friends i take it, shocking development. but thats between davesprite, rather than dave himself so there may be two different views on how he sees GC. anyways, it was pretty bad. i wont just forget that. i love her character but she killed off two characters (who thankfully are now alive), making dave a sprite and future rose to just not exist anymore. or... well.... she does, but she seemed to have fused with PRESENT rose. which i guess we’ll figure out how that works the next time we see her. which will probably be on derse. 
but, tbh, GC wanted to apologize and felt bad about the whole situation. so im giving her the benefit of the doubt here.
now.. man...
can i take a second to analyze davesprite? and a little bit about the concept of john/dave’s friendship (just a tad)? ie the two greatest things in the world? thanks.
i think the thing that hit me the hardest was how davesprite (im calling him that to distinguish which dave im talking about but keep in mind i should be calling them both dave. but this makes it easier to write up.) well, davesprite explained how he’d continue to reset the timeline until john and jade are alive. which basically means he would use himself as a sacrifice to allow their survival. which ALSO means he cares more for them than he does himself. he’d throw his life away for them. he knew there was a possibility of him ceasing to exist if they reset the timeline again. he literally said it in such a nonchalant way that it makes me wonder how much his friends really mean to him. which in retrospect, is a lot. now pls keep this in mind for the next part.
now, dave also has so much appreciation towards himself. but not in the cocky way, of course. rather in the way that shows self love?? kinda?? like he genuinely wanted to hang with davesprite, brainstorm his comic and vice versa bc they both think their alt version is that cool. i know it should sound kinda narcissistic, but listen. a lot of people dont often appreciate themselves for who they are. and what i really want to emphasize on that here, is that this comes back to the whole putting himself before others thing. because that specific line i mentioned before is a BIG FUCKING DEAL. since dave thinks so highly of himself as a cool guy, rad dude, arent we so awesome type kid that he LITERALLY didnt care for his life in that one hot second. he made sure he was a pawn used to help out his friends rather than an actual human being who should worry about his life as well. he didnt care if he survived or not in the process of making sure everything was going alright. which is such a fucking leap from this whole self-respecting thing. its as if that didnt matter anymore. and that takes a fucking beating. that shows how much dave truly loves his friends. do you know how fucking BIG THAT WHOLE DEAL IS?
take john for example. dave didnt give two shits who the person on the other line was. he found out GC was the troll who killed john and basically threatened her with every inch of his life to make her back away from him. he knew what it would cause and said “fuck you” in bright and bold. all because he didnt want to see his friend die again. which? fair enough. and if we look back at the last session, god that could mess someone up. especially someone as young as 13. rose even got the worst end of the stick bc she flat out ceased to exist. but then again, thats in the same boat as jade/john. bc they all technically died. yet davesprite didnt. he remembers it. davesprite isnt just going to forget. he’s going to have surviver’s guilt for a long time, because being dave’s guide will forever be a reminder that he’s the version in the doomed timeline. he’s the only one who knows what happened, and he wont become the “true dave” in a sense that he’s now just considered “davesprite” and nothing more, since he cant just be dave since his timeline ended up fucked. not to mention he technically said he was fine with it, bc since it meant the others survived, he wouldnt care what happened to his life. even tho he should and it still probably hurts him idk. and that kills me a little. actually, more than a little. this is personally the most gut wrenching scene in homestuck (but i may just be speculating too much). but that wont stop him from helping dave and giving him all the answer, and also protecting john with everything he has.
and, man, i feel as if he’s gonna be such a good guide for dave. he already gave him the loot, the rundown and is very open about questions dave already has because he knows how tough it probably is to have a shitty guide. considering he was stuck with calsprite for 4 months. so obviously he’s going to help as much as possible. since he probably had little to none and didnt learn as much as he should have through the course of sburb. but now, as a guide, he can easily access all the info he lost during the pathway of his timeline. and share it with dave so he doesn’t struggle and actually completes the game rather than end up in a doomed timeline like himself.
but yes. dave’s blatant adoration for john basically saved them both in a way. and it seems as if its a little mutual considering john told dave he’d always believe him no matter what in the end. how he reconsidered everything, remembered the note and realized how good their friendship is to just give it up like that. and then vice versa. dave couldnt continue on the game without him or jade, so he went back in time. and showed his pissed-off protective side in order to save john again. which warms my heart bc they both mean so much to each other. and both got each other super sentimental gifts and wrote each other such touching cards.
and thats a good way to end the session, i think.
so there we have it. ive never wanted to hug a character so bad than i do with davesprite. i just hope everyone at least acknowledges him in some way, and gives him some amount of respect for what he did for everybody. ive only met him for like 10 pages, but i think he’s the most emotional character so far. and i guess since he’s dave himself, and i feel for dave based on his situation with bro, its safe to say i would protect him with my life. which i dont want to be *that* person but hey, its true. its just that he’s been through so much bullshit, and davesprite is the only survivor of his timeline, always will be reminded of it whenever he sees dave/john/rose/jade playing the game, is now a fucking sprite who wont be able to live his own path but just be a guide and god, i feel for him. i really do.
i shouldnt have written such a long note about davesprite.. but his whole story as to how he became a thing really got to me, alright?
i should write a tldr, cool. here yall go; i actually love davesprite, he’s been through some shit and he deserves hells of respect. GC is forgiven and we’ll find out next time how both version of rose.. fused together?

AP web exclusive: All Time Low tour diary
Posted by Scott Heisel on 08-Dec-06 @ 04:43 PM
Last month, Baltimore pop-punkers All Time Low took to the road with Sugarcult for a series of shows on the West Coast. Here's some of what they saw, in words and pictures. Learn more at www.alltimelow.com.
#1------------------------------------------------------------ Ooohooo So last night we celebrated two awesome occasions...well 3 since matt's molars finally grew in...anyways yesterday was Haloween and our first night of our tour with Sugarcult. I must say, it is pretty strange touring with a band who I spent the better years of my middle school life watching on MTV. Regardless of where this band has been, it definetly didn't eff with their personalities. They were all super nice to us and each came up and introduced themselves. The show went pretty well but it wasn't a good judgement of our the whole tour is going to be because Sugarcult didn't even headline, the Eagles Of Death Metal did, and the tickets for $25 on Haloween night :) I'm sorry but I would never go to a show if those were the circumstances...I'd be out expanding my collection of holiday treats. Tonight the 'real' tour begins so we will see how it goes. We are playing Washington State University in Pullman Washington. We haven't done too many college shows, so this should be interesting...anyways before we got on the road a couple days ago we were couped up in Ben Harper's (formely of yellowcard, now in amber pacific) house/studio in long beach, CA working on our new CD :). We demoed some hot licks that were going to send over to our producer matt squire so that he can put in some input. I heard my blogs are going to be posted on the Alternative Press website for this tour, so if that's the case then...helll yeah! Well I just woke up from sleeping in the van so I am gonna walk out into the freezing streets of Pullman, WA crack my back and grab some Qudoba. Much Love, Jack --jbstar #2------------------------------------------------------------ Yoo dooodds, So I'm gonna update you guys on the passed couple shows...on Wednsday we played Washington State University. Those kids are freaking crazy! Everyone seemed to be having a good time and we made some awesome new friends. I cannot stress enough, how cool the Sugarcult guys are. Which is really cool because I have been listening to those guys since 6th grade! Anyways before we played, matt thought it would be a good idea to have a fork and knife fight backstage...yeah it turned pretty ugly and we should have some footage online soon enough. That night we partied at 'The Christmas House'. Lets just say that I'm pretty sure alex made out with a dog...I really miss Hit The Lights :( Anways...we played Seattle after the college show and it was offf the hoooook. Everyone in the room was dancing and it got pretty redic. As soon as we told them the alex/dog story they went nuts. We met up with the Pink Spiders that night. We were nervous about that because we've heard some stuff...but for real those guys are the shit. There all super nice and we have no complaints about them. We have yet to tour with a band who we don't get along with (fingers crossed). We also heard that we may be doing a few shows with Cobra Starship in Dec, if that happends that would be sick. I'll keep you guys updated. Someone made us a bucket of the craziest donuts ive ever seen at the portland show last night!! They were reallly good. Sorry for the lack of pics, I'll make sure my next post has more, its just hard to take good pics on a sidekick :). Talk to you guys soon!!Jacko #3------------------------------------------------------------ Yo Babaayyss, Last nights show was off the hook! I love playing at The Boardwalk in orangevale calii. The crowd was as wild as usual and a bunch of kids were singing along. A lot of the same kids who saw us there on the Amber Pacific tour came back. Its always cool to see so many familiar faces,,,cough cough hint hint nudge...you get the idea folks! The next couple shows should be interesting...reno and vegas. I wont be able to gamble but at least ill be able to look at a lot of lights. We all have family comming out, so that should be exciting. I havent seen my brother and sister in ages and i know their gonna be wasted so that means they will be even more friendly :) Also Meg n Dia join up in vegas which is sick, SO SIKED FOR THAT!!! We met them on warped and their super nice. anyways i think its time, i go to In and Out because after this tour im not going to be able to go back for a while :( im going to eat there everyday twice a day until we leave Arizona. Ive attached pics from our set on the Epitaph stage at this years Bamboozle Left and also some pics of our acoustic set the 2nd day! Thanks to everyone who watched us either/both days :) love you peace peace n a bottle o' hair grease, jack #4------------------------------------------------------------ Wow...vegas has to be one of the strangest places on this earth. First of all we showed up in Reno (shity city) only to find that only sugarcults crew was there and the show probably wasnt going on. We were welcomed by a hooker in a pink tanktop and no teeth asking if we had any shirts we could give her...Thankfully we have power windows and middle fingers. Thankfully zack was asleep or he might have took her up on some of her offers...he's getting desperate you know..just kidding! Anyways we decided to hang out with sugarcults crew for a little then start the drive to vegas early since it was 8 house. We got to go over the Hoover Damn which was sweet. It's seriously Vegas Vacation all over again! Anyways, we got to vegas around midnight and it was a fantastic site! My bro and sis were staying at the MGM so thats where i headed. Rian to the Excalibur, Alex and Matt to the Venecian and Zack to the Luxor. We all split up and hung out with our fam for the evening. My brother took me around vegas and boyyy was it interesting. I was approached by numerous drunk people. It was basically like an Ocean City, Maryland for older people. It's just a place for adults to drink, walk around drunk, act like teenagers and maybe gamble a bit here n' there. it was Akward to say the least. Anyways the next day was the show at the House Of Blues at Mandalay Bay...probably one of the nicest venues we have ever played. We introduced ourselves to the Meg n Dia folks and got to know our new tour mates as we shared a dressing room. We soon found they are awesome people and they share a love for getting wild! The show was pretty cool, and the crowd was big. It was weird though because the merch was not in the venue, it was in the cassino haha. Anyways Vegas was an experience we wont forget, and I cant wait till we go there again. I hope the next time we go, were 21...actually nevermind because that would be three years :)stay rad, Jack #5------------------------------------------------------------ Lame! Tonight was our last show on the Sugarcult Tour featuring The Pink Spiders and Meg n Dia :( Damone will be taking our place on this great lineup. I am jelous that they get to join up! Anyways we made some lifetime friends on this tour and it was a great experience for everyone. Every single show was amazing and the fans never let us down. Traveling to bumfuck arizona and hearing a couple hundred kids sing your song is the coolest feeling ever. Sugarcult was very warming towards us and their personalities suprised the shit out of me. they were such cool guys and even when zack was sick they made him soup and gave him Emergen-C. WHO DOES THAT !?!? Thats like something my mom does...so in a way Sugarcult are our parents. They actually reffered to us as their younger brothers on stage. At the last show of the tour in Little Rock, Arkansas us and Meg n Dia ran on stage during "Bouncing Off the Walls" and started bouncing around and took over Tim's Guitar n Mic, Marko's (my twin) guitar and Airens Bass. It was so fun to bro down with a band that ive been listening to since middle school haha. Alex also got to soundcheck with sugarcult at Texas AM College because tim was at the hospital taking care of his sickness (i think he had a nasty cold). It was so crazy to see alex soundcheck with a band who for the past few years have held a special spot on my ipod and in my cd player :) I attached a pic of him sound-checking for fun. At the end of the show we said our goodbyes and gave our hugs. This is'nt the end of these friendships though, only the beggining...now we head home to write a new cd. Catch us on the road in the northeast in december when we head out with Cobra Starship! Stay safe, Jack

Tmi / talk about menstruation and iud / venting / but i just wanna get this out, and maybe someone else is in the same boat as me because ive never been able to find any accounts of similar experiences ... I wanna preface this by saying im 26 and have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia/chronic pain, which is probably related but i dont know how. I normally have super heavy periods and debilitating cramps, along with discomfort during penetration (or similar activities) on some occasions. Ive tried a couple different birth control options over the years and each one has given me constant cramping. Its weird because the cramping on the pill (2 or 3 different kinds of BC pills in different times of my life) and depoprovera shot were the same in that i would get terrible cramps whenever i did any kind of activity but especially when i stand up from a sitting position. I remember being in college and standing up and having to immediately sit back down hunched over until it passed. I got the depo shot a few months ago and it was the worst thing ever. I had severe cramping with all kinds of movement (and havent been able to even touch myself without setting off the cramps) and after a month of it i started bleeding for a month straight until a doctor gave me estrogen pills on top of it to stop the bleeding. The pills stopped the bleeding but not the cramps, so the plan was for me to wait it out and try an iud next since the medicine would be administered locally instead of by pill or shot through my whole body.... three months during the depo shot i could not exercise or do any physical activity, which of course is making my fibromyalgia and mood worse. I feel like ive lost a whole year to the depo shot, on top of other health problems that have been acting up before the depo. It sucked and im not trying it again. I had about 2 weeks until the mirena iud insertion where i was taking the estrogen pills and still cramping (along with getting a full heavy and bad cramping period during the vitamin-pill week while i waited for the prescription to come in. The cramping was so bad i almost wanted to go to the emergency room, but it lessened by the next day even if i was still going through so many pads.) Before the iud insertion i took a pill the night before which the doctor said could help loosen up my organ to allow for easier insertion since ive never had a kid. I knew i could expect a lot of pain given how sensitive i know i am, but the few people ive heard get them said it was only really painful during and they were fine after, so i figure i could be strong and deal with it if its going to help stop my monthly cramping and bleeding. Turns out the insertion was the worst pain ive ever felt in my life. Normally having a speculum put in already puts me in considerable pain (a speculum feels like a shard of glass shoved in me) but it pales in comparison to getting the iud. I was crying out and struggling to stay still during the proceedure but once it was over i hoped it would start to feel better. It burned with pain and still does days later. I didnt realise i would get severe cramping immediately after the insertion, but i could barely stand up. The doctors had to let me stay in the room for like a half hour before i could limp back to the car. Im lucky i had my mom to drive me home because i could still barely breathe it hurt so badly. I took tylenol about a half hour before the proceedure but i dont think it did anything. I couldnt take advil because of other medicines im taking. So the only other thing i could do is lay there screaming in pain with the heating pad pressed on me. A few hours later my mom had to call an on-call doctor from the same hospital and he said to go to the er so we went. The rest of the night is kind of blurry i was in so much pain and could barely think. The er gave me a painkiller and later a muscle relaxant before telling me i have to stop my other meds so i can take advil. I was there for like 6 hours i think, feeling waves of terrible cramps that feel like a knife is slicing the inside of me - the same feeling as the iud insertion. I feel bad for everyone who had to hear me screaming every 10 minutes and my mom who had to stay with me. The doctors kicked me out immediately after giving me advil and i went home barely able to even walk or move. It took me another 2 hours to manage to fall asleep even though i was so exhausted and had the worst chest and body pain from being so tense at experiencing the worst pain of my life. Nornally, if unmedicated, ill get periods so bad im screaming in pain, but it will only last 1-2 hours until the advil or tylenol kicks in and dulls it down to a bearable ache, so this iud was supposed to be my fall back on options to eliminate cramps. (I really wish the doctor would just let me get a hysterectomy i dont ever want kids and this whole situation is giving me severe gender dysphoria) Yesterday i spent the whole day sleeping off my traumatic er experience and today im still getting really horrible waves of cramping and nausea. Thankfully im not bleeding (...yet?) But it still feels like having a tampon being yanked out of me that wont come out. The knife feeling isnt there so im not screaming, but the cramps are still so bad and i dont know if i need to take it out. The er doctor said to take it out if the advil doesnt help, and that this is most likely anxiety making the pain get out of control. The er nurse said this is normal. Like??? How the fuck to people deal with this im scared about taking it out because thats probably going to hurt even more. I forgot to ask my prescribing doctor if theres a risk for toxic shock or something but like i dont have a fever its just so painful feeling it there. The placement is "right" according to the ultrasounds but it hurts so much and is still giving me cramps I really dont know how anyone could deal with this the whole thing is so upsetting i want it out but i dont want to deal with the proceedure to get it out and that same severe cramping i dont think theyll allow it to be a surgical removal but i wont be able to sit there and deal with it again!!!! Just thinking about all of it is giving me more anxiety too, i have such dysphoria about my internal organs and such a terrible phobia about even having them!!! This amount of cramping should not fucking be "normal" i hate being invalidated at the er like that God i just dont know what to do the cramping is so bad and im still scared of getting an ulcer from the advil. Thats another thing. A year ago i got an ulcer from taking advil because of period cramps, so ive been suffering taking tylenol! Thats why i want a BC that works to get rid of cramps and bleeding!! Now here i am with the worst cramps and bloating of my life!! How am i expected to function like this!!! I dont remember half of the past few days because ive been in so much pain!!! I can only hope this gets better because it feels worse today than it did yesterday, even if its not as bad as the day before when i had the insertion done. The doctor said if im still having the same kind of cramps ive been getting with the other types of birth control after a month i can look into other options (hopefully hysterectomy!!) But thats so far away and i havent been able to practise driving or apply to any jobs because i cant fucking do more than sit or lie down because of the god damn cramps Ive lost like all my personality and enjoyment of life and lost any one i could call a friend because this is consuming me and i cant fucking do anything i hate it i just want something to go right for once i want to be able to exercise again i love exercising and i havent been able to go for a walk without getting winded and severe cramping I cant even find other people that get cramping on birth control when standing up or doing activities so i dont know why this is happening to me ive looked everywhere i can and all i get is dysphoria because """"mensutruation is a womens health problem"""" and my phobia of pregnancy makes it impossible to browse forums I dont know what my point to all this is i just really need to vent because i feel so alone with this specific problem Life sucks and then you die i guess lmao

JM, the things my hearts been needing to say...
there are a few things i have been meaning to tell you but i cant. i cant get myself to find the courage to text you... not because im afraid of what you will say but because i know you dont care about me or i how i feel anymore. i know you wont have anything to say. Its almost as ny thoughts are too much sometimes and i.have so much to say i lose track what i want to say. ill try to keep it simple but i dont know if i can - because you meant something to me. you mean something to me to the point four months later i cant shake the feelings...or feeling.

five. you put my heart back together but then you broke it all over again.
six. the the time we had something i waz trying to fix myself. i was trying to see how things went wrong with chris. i was trying to be more for you.
seven. i wanted to be all that you wanted me to be. i wanted to do things for us. for once i wanted to better my life for us. but in the back of my mind there wasnt an "us"... really.
eight. im sso very very sorry joe for not trying to out the pieces in my life together so i could be more stable for us.. the maybe "us". i keep thinking joe if i would have gotten my lisence or did this or did that.. and got more stable than you would have choosen me. i wanted it to be.
nine. Joe, im so so so so sorry for letting what we had become public. i keep thinking about over and over again. i ruined your trust.
ten. how could you just leave me like that?!?! like i nevet ever fucking mattered to you!!! how could you?!?!? after you yold me every day that you going anywhere.. do you know how heartbreaking that was to be close to you ine minute.. and then me completely nothing to you the next.. it fucking hurt...more than you will ever know.
eleven. some days i just fucking hate you.. i just fucking hate you. i wish i never met you.
twelve. i cried for weeks. no not just cried. i sobbed in my bed at night and during the day. the whole Christmas break... i knew by then i lost you.
thirteen. even when we were something.. i had horrible nights and i couldnt text or call you and it drove me nuts because i knew you would be able to calm me down. i needed you there, and you couldnt be because of her. because you never really wanted to be there toward the end. i would have nights where i were up late night crying my eyes out becuase id had a horrible fight with my friends and you were the person i wanted to turn too. i needed you there. but you had her. i needed you in my arms and hold me so tight like you always did.
fourteen. although shit hit the fan, and you dont care anymore. thank you, Joe. thank you for everything because what i went through you had made me so strong.
sixteen. having your arms around gave me a feeling i never wanted to lose. being able to just lay here in my bed and look into those beautiful green eyes of yours did something to me i cant explain. i felt something different with you. some how i made myself belive you felt the same
eighteen. i never thought id lose you but my heart knew all along. something always felt so wrong.
nineteen. i wish i were her. not in the sense of you cheating on her countless of times but the way you love her. i want you to love me like you love her.. or so if you do. i get jealous sometimes.. i really do but then again.. you are probably cheating on het again with someone else besides me so no.
twenty. if you so called love her then why did you make love to me, hold me, touch me, kiss me..ect..? i know she works nights and you feel lonley but thats not a reason to do that.
twenty-one. i hope she finds out. not because i want her to hurt but because she needs to know what kind of man you really are. she needs to know she os worth more than cheating lieing ass. maybe she knows but stays for the sake of it.
twenty two. if you arent happy then just fucking leave her.. i know you got everything made there but come on? cant stay in a place you are miserable. hence why i left burgaflex. i know you got a house with her, i know you are stablr there.. i know you have her kids.. but those are hers.. you have no responsibility for them..point blank. you cane get your own house.. just saying.. you make enough.
twenty three: i fell in love with you at one point but no longer am. i got some love for you still and i care.
twenty four: it fucking puts a knife through y heart that you dont care anymore. it makes me feel like everything was a lie. i was nothing to you.
twenty five: somedays i think you are a narcissist. you pretty much gaslighted me.
twenty six: reall honesty? i really never allowed myself to open up to you because i knew i wouĺdnt get the same in return
twenty seven. i hate that you cant own up to what you did to me. i cant even get an im sorry for your lips. those lips that always said, i never want to hurt you or her.
twenty eight. i hate that its been what feels like months and you still cant say a fucking word to me. you got some issues to sort out. i know o was never the issue. i know i got issues but i have been working on them. like i said, i was making myself better for you. i really was...
twenty nine. some days i still have hope that your name will show up on my phone with some kind of apology so then i can tell you things ive needed to say. i guess this will help.
Thirty. id never take you back....
thirty one. i find myself thinking of you still. not as much as i use too.. just have my moments. you are not the first thought in the morning and last thought at night anymore.
thirty two. you lost me.. but a part of you still lives inside me of. the memories we made will live on forever. those were special to me
thirty three. i saw some kind of furture with you and that says a lot. i wanted to build with you. i found myself thinking what it would be like to take trips with you,waking up next to you, and living with you.
thirty four. hate myself some days for how i let you control this whole thing. i needed some control. you had it all. i hate myself somedays for agreeing when my heart wanted more when yours didnt.. but thats what your lips spoke to me.. sometimes..
I hope you come across this some day.

Love Will Find a Way, Well, Eventually : 2. In Between
“Where are you going?”
If it was inside Cartoon Network’s universe, everyone must be able to see the smoke fuming from both his nostrils and ears. Jinki looks beyond distressed when he’s lifting his ass from the chair. No one on the table was his partner, but Minho decided to throw some ridiculous question then played dumb as if he didn’t just ask one.
“Should I have number one here?”
He started getting irked, but that doesn’t stay long until Kibum casually munched his breadstick while spluttering his witty comments as usual, “Surely Taemin would be delightful.”
Taemin who didn’t do anything almost chocked himself with a piece of tomato and kicked Kibum’s shin under the table, eventually.
“Promise me you won’t run away?”
Dumbfounded, Jinki emptied his pocket and almost smashed the table with his belonging.
“Are you my husband? Here’s my wallet. And my phone!” and with that, he left the other three men finishing their meal.
“Is he always in this temper?”
Lee Taemin gave him another look, pleading him not to embarrass them further, but Kibum just shrugged and muttered ‘I’m just asking’ under his nose.
“He was mad with me since this afternoon. Plus, he has lots of stuffs to think about these days. But don’t worry, he never really got mad unless you disturb his nap.”
“What is he? A bear?”
“Yaa! Kim Kibum!”
Minho couldn’t help but laugh to the scene happened before his eyes. Taemin is famous for being friendly and very expressive only if you know him, even if he’s talkative. To penetrate his bubble is very hard at first, but this man sitting across him, he seems like he’s already inside that bubble since the very beginning. He really is someone closed to him. Kibum looks mesmerizing, even in his grumbling nature. The oversize sweater wrapped his lithe build perfectly.
A phone call arrived to Kibum's phone, he picked it up frantically and excused himself to take it outside.
"What do you think?"
“Eh?” Minho doesn’t even realized he got his eyes entailed Kibum’s silhouette until it disappear by the entrance door.
“You seemed in trance. I know Kibum is beautiful but I didn’t expect you’ll be this amazed with my friend,” Taemin’s sipping his wine, a smirk is very apparent in his devious face. 
“I guess it’s safe to say that you’re not a liar.”
Minho reopened his mouth few minutes after he’s assured that Kibum’s not going back any soon. Taemin is not ecstatic, sometimes he wondered if Minho has a decent sense of humor of a friend.
“For your information, I’m not and never been. I’m the most honest person you’ve ever encountered in your life.”
“Everyone in this room knows that’s not true.”
“Whatever. I might know my ways deceiving people, but I never lie to my friend.”
 “Did you just admit that you’re lying here and there, Lee Taemin?”
Taemin rolls his eyes, again, probably for the nth times already this evening. Without Jinki around, he can be more relaxed on throwing his tantrum on Minho.
“Choi Minho, people lies at some certain points of their life. Get over it.”
He gulped down the rest of his wine, Taemin then called a waiter near them to bring him another one.
“Kibum seems nice. He sounds smart.”
“Sounds? Did you even listen to yourself? No writer is not smart, Choi. Moreover, someone who’s been writing the past decade!”
“I only know him for one night. Who knows he’s just acting?”
“Dude, not everyone is an asshole like you.”
“An asshole wouldn’t agree to bring his best friend along in front of a psychopath like you.”
Taemin snorted and Minho’s smirk reappeared on his face.
“That is literally what a psycho would do, selling their friend for their own benefits.”
Minho wiped his mouth before washed down the dinner with cold water, “And that’s exactly what Jinki accused me for. You two shared a brain or what?”
“Any sane people would say the same, Honey,” this time Taemin’s smirk that made the other scoffed, “By the way, what’s the deal with Jinki? He looks like he’s been sitting on thorny cushion the whole dinner!”
Minho knows Taemin would ask such question eventually. However, he couldn’t say that Jinki hates the whole dinner date plan, it’s impossible. Besides that, knowing him for years, Jinki really is an angel in disguise, well, at least when he’s in the mood.
“People have different, what should I say, defense mechanism? And that’s how he is. What kind of person who talked nonstop during their first meeting, anyway?”
“Oh, I don’t know, me?”
“That’s why you’re a freak.”
“A freak who introduced you to your potentially next boyfriend.”
“Ha. Point taken,” Minho raised his hand to ask for the dessert, “Jinki is just not the type of person who will talk a lot and open up in a second. But I guarantee you, he’s a good person. Sometimes a little bit care too much for other at certain time so probably being brazen is his forte.”
“That reminds me of someone.”
Taemin and Kibum spent their high school days together. Separated for some years due to works and educations, their relationship’s all well maintained. They understand each other, including Kibum’s nature to always put others before him at any given situation.
“Appearance wise, though, what do you think about Jinki?”
“Choi Minho, I’m not a teenager anymore. Judging people around by its cover is no longer my habit.”
“But a designer like you must love a beautiful package, don’t they?”
“Well, to be honest, his lips and eyes itself could get me floored in one glance.”
“I knew it.”
“You’re a famous photographer for a reason.”
***
Cold wind slapped Kibum’s cheeks lightly when he pushed the door and parched to the corner near the valet post.
“Okay, now you can speak. Sorry, I don’t know why the reception wasn’t good enough inside.”
“Then I’ll be frankly here. There’s a possibility for making the special edition for the short story collection. But then, we’re still short of two stories at the moment.”
“Wait, wait, but we already have nine! I finished writing nine! Why should I add another two?”
“The publisher agreed to the preposition for at least twelve stories. You should be grateful I could pitch one less story!”
Kibum looks like he’s about to punch anyone passed within radius one meter around him, but nothing in reach besides a huge pot of short palm tree and concrete wall. And he needs his hand to finish his books still.
“But, Amber. Page wise, those are more than enough to make two new books. Are they out of their mind?”
There’s a loud groan banging on his ear drum came from the other line, “Dude, I almost flipped the table when I was at the meeting you have no idea. The board has new man and that guy is a pain in the ass.”
“Would it change the circumstance if I talked to them by myself?”
“Since when do they have time to talk to the writer directly? We’re head to head with bunch of snobs here, did you forget?”
“I should had not agree to let them touched my writings. Now we’re about to face dead end.”
It was a dream to work along this publisher. It was Kibum’s dream since he started writing when he took gap year after graduated high school. And as if it’s a fate, it was the only publisher agreed with his graphic novel concept five years he climbed his career professionally.
“Listen, Kibum. When I met you years ago, I promised I’ll work my ass hard to help you publishing your books. Not because I knew you, it’s because you’re good. You’re amazing writer and I’m not giving up easily. And neither you. Not when anybody can tell that you’re a gem.”
“I haven’t written any book since last year, Amber. I’m in a slump. Writer’s block is not even describing my bad luck at the moment.”
“Honey, you haven’t written any because you’re currently waiting two books released. And if I could do my magic, another one in, let’s say, six months.”
“If I could make up some words into another story within two weeks. If you could convince them to give me mercy.”
“Did you just know me yesterday?”
Kibum’s tired giving sane response, “What do you mean?”
“I’m waiting their secretary to call me in ten minutes. We’re going to discuss some new deals and I’ll make sure one of them is going to be your new nine stories book.”
“I actually have no idea if I don’t have you as my editor slash manager slash friend slash personal ranting partner slash whatever you want to be.”
“Rockstar. That would be cool.”
“You’re going to be a kick ass one to be honest.”
“I bet. Anyway, expect another call from me in the next couple hours. I’m sorry, but tonight we might need video call to resolve some issues.”
“I hate you for confiscating my time but you’re the best.”
“As always, ain’t I?”
The phone call ends already, but he still forlornly looking at his phone’s screen. With that, Kibum remembers all the works he needs to catch up for tonight. With that, he can put aside all the unnecessary anxiety and tension of tonight’s stupid match making session.
He took a glance of his watch and could only sighed, he better hurried inside to his dessert. The faster he finished, the sooner he can hit home and face the real deal. His deadlines.
Two steps away from the entrance however, he caught a familiar face sitting by themselves, staring to the busy street in front of the restaurant.
“Jinki?” he carefully calling the man, “Lee Jinki, right?”
The later tilted his head to the right and gave Kibum a simple smile, didn’t realize it dropped Kibum’s heart by the bottom of his gut.
“Aren’t you cold?”
Everyone would agree this winter is even harsher than last year’s. Jinki just lifted his left hand to make sure Kibum saw a cigarette slipped between his fingers, “Can I sit here?”
Jinki chuckles, “Aren’t you cold?”
Listening to the same question he threw a minute ago, he just rolled his eyes and took a place next to the other man.
“I’m waiting a phone call.”
“Important?”
“Kinda.”
Jinki blew some smoke out, “Hmm, I guess so. You sounded pretty upset over there.”
“Did I scream that loud?!”
“In my opinion? No. but a girl flinched and buzzed off rather hastily, so, you tell me.”
When he saw Kibum’s gaping like a fish in frantic expression, Jinki has no choices beside laughed again, surprising Kibum who’s quite convinced with his aloof personalities.
“I didn’t know you have so many jokes in store.”
“You learn something new every day.”
“Your face doesn’t show.”
“What about my face?”
“It’s handsome but with that attitude inside, seems like you’re the type who woke up at the wrong side of the bed every single morning and could kill someone annoys you at any time.”
“Well, to be fair, I did wake up in the wrong side of my bed this morning. But it’s because a certain dog occupied half of my blanket so I couldn’t disturb her.”
“You have a dog?!”
Kibum’s face lit up thousand times as if he just won some lottery. Strangely, it warms Jinki’s heart. No, scratch that, it would warm any heart, Jinki tried to generalize the situation.
“I don’t, unfortunately. She belongs to my friend. I’m taking care of her while he’s travelling abroad. Her father will pick her up this weekend.”
“Ah, too bad. We could have play date with my boys.”
“I’ll make sure to give you a call when I decided to adopt one later.”
“Do you think my invitation hasn’t expired yet by that time?”
“A man can only dream, can’t he?”
Kibum’s laughter is muffled by his own palm covering his mouth.
“Let’s go inside, you must be shivering.”
“But your cigarette?”
Kibum’s half stuttered caught red handed, Jinki already pressed the half-done cigarette on the sand bowl on his left, “I can always have another one at home. Besides, I doubt you would go inside without me dragging you along.”
Kibum thanked the universe that the place is not well lit, so he could hide the blush creeping his cheeks. Unfortunately, Jinki has a very good eye sight.
***
“Is my baby being a good girl when daddy’s away?”
Jinki scoffed when the man just entered his living room just literally threw his suitcase aside and scooped the little dachshund running toward his embrace. He gathered the suitcase and poor leather bag on the floor and placed it neatly near the saffron color couch.
The man later dropped himself next to Jinki who’s lounged himself there, checking his phone halfheartedly.
“Minho texted me the other day.”
“Why did he keep texting you?”
The man with dark grey hair didn’t catch the frown hanging on Jinki’s face and buried his face to the dog’s belly, making him groaned again. He lightly pushed the dog further and toppled his head on the other man’s laps.
The dog owner realized something’s happened when he’s not around. He put the dog on the ground and tapped her butt to send her back to her small bed near the pantry.
“Minho has my number and I have his name in my contact list. He can text me whenever he wants. Still jealous?”
Jinki closed his eyes when he started playing with his hair, “He’s still one of the reasons we broke up.”
“Baby, the only reason we broke up is because neither of us didn’t want to succumb into marriage. Minho was just a handsome face happened on the wrong time.”
“I have no idea why I still befriend him when it’s clear he wanted to shove his face to yours, all the damn time.”
“And I have no idea that you’re this type who holds the grudge for a long time. We were already out of relationship back then.”
“Still, a friend wouldn’t openly chase after their friend’s ex.”
“A friend wouldn’t, but a best friend would.”
“Whatever.”
He almost lost his control and slapped Jinki’s head of him, “Oh, come on. What’s bothering you this time?”
“Nothing.”
“Bullshit. It’s written all over your face the second I saw you behind the door. And I’m pretty sure it’s not because my daughter misbehaved while I’m on my annual pediatric conference.”
Jinki sighed, nothing he could really hide it from the other man. Since they were in their almost five years relationship, since they became best friends around three years prior.
“Minho invited me for a dinner night.”
“Wow, fancy,” actually Minho already texted him about the dinner a bit, how he wanted to introduce Jinki to some acquaintance he has, “He gave up on me so he went for the only option?”
“For the record, your mom agreed that I’m way much sexier than you.”
“Three years ago, before your cheek bones buried under those mount of fluffy fat.”
“Said a man who came to me and straight ahead told me I looked cute after leaving a piece of paper with their number on my table.”
“I will put aside the fact that I love how romantic you’re for still remembering our first meeting but let’s back to the right path here because I don’t like the upset you. It’s fucking annoying.”
“He introduced me to someone, Jonghyun.”
He let out inaudible gasp and thanked the universe Jinki’s still closing his eyes. Otherwise, he would stop at once and avoided any discussion of the main reason which distressed his ex-boyfriend. Knowing the scenario before hands didn’t prevent him with the sheer pain graze him when it came from Jinki’s mouth himself.
“So? Isn’t that great? Do you think it’s about time?”
“I was about to argue that two years are still not enough to get over you but I guess you’re not in the same page with me so I’d say that I’m not interested into some relationship whatsoever at this point.”
Jonghyun wanted to cry listening to such words. His heart clenched, he inhaled – a very long one – before he continued caressing Jinki’s forehead.
“I am flattered, but I know you’re just teasing me.”
“Ha, you know me so well.”
“I’m not gonna fall on the same hole, Lee.”
“You won’t. You’re too smart to repeat the torture on the loop.”
“It wasn’t a torture, Jinki. I love you as much as you do. Or maybe just slightly more.”
“Not a chance. I love you more.”
“Stop it or I will kiss you.”
“I dare you.”
“I told you I’m not gonna fall on the same hole.”
“Smart, very smart,” Jinki opened his eyes only to find Jonghyun sticking his tongue out, “Okay, so at first, I don’t like the idea already. You know I hate any type of match making method. Even the online one. But being there, I realized that my current focus doesn’t involved other party besides me, my business, and—“
“And your grandfather?”
Jinki looks annoyed, “Remind me to add ‘always-cutting-people-sentence’ on the list of reasons why I broke up with you when I’m writing my journal tonight.”
“It’s true. I think he was also the cock blocker during our relationship back then.”
“Dude, we’re talking about my gramps. And to put him on the same category with Minho is beyond weird.”
“We already broke up when Minho made his move, for Pete’s sake!”
“Okay, okay! No need to raise your voice, you’re so scary when you’re angry.”
“Then don’t make me! Now, now, can you please be a normal human being so we can talk like adults for once?”
Jinki pulled himself from the couch to the pantry, snatching a pack of cigarette on the tea table before slipped one on the corner of his mouth.
“Can you not smoking inside?”
He snorted and padded to the direction of his balcony. It’s in the middle of winter but he doesn’t care a bit to the wind ready to slaughter his bones. If tomorrow the cold prevented him to leave the bed, then let it be. For once, he just wants to free his mind from the business.
“You need to remember that I can only treat patient on certain age,” Jonghyun followed few minutes after with a blanket he spread as wide as possible to cover both of them without feeling suffocated for standing too close.
“The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people be under pediatric care up to the age of 21, though.”
“Did you just quote Wikipedia? And we’re not in fucking States! Above and beyond, shame on your wrinkles!”
“Rude.”
“You’re the rude one to your lungs!”
“Then tell me how to ease my mind without nicotine! Tell me how to forget all those troubled night and just sleep! Do you think it’s easy taking care of worrisome business and messy family without distraction?! Stop talking non sense if you do know how to save my days!”
Any word seems taboo once Jinki exploded. Both man just staring into the dark evening below Jinki’s unit. People paraded as quickly as possible on the street to fight the harsh weather. It’s not that late, but only few cars passed by. The dim light of the street lamp’s soothing the tense atmosphere in a way.
Jonghyun leaned closer to Jinki’s arm and rested his head on his shoulder.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you with that.”
“I’m sorry I yelled at you.” 
“You know that you can always talk to me right?”
“I’m tired bothering you. You already have a lot in your hands.”
“Besides my patients and Roo, there’s nothing really confiscated my time.”
Having someone like Jonghyun who would stand next to him, scold him then hug him right after, no matter how awful he behaved and treated the other man, Jinki every so often thinking what kind of good deeds he did in his previous life.
Jinki cocked his head, inhaling the trace of scent of Jonghyun’s favorite shampoo. Initially, he was about to kiss the top of his head, like he used to do when the other man leaned on him for whatever reason it was. He remember, though, the earlier period after their broke up – after settling their feelings for few months of course – the shorter man told him not to do that anymore because it was the doctor’s Achilles heel. So instead, he rubs his cheek over the thick hair, silently telling Jonghyun he’s sorry.
Some nights – especially right after that dinner date – he had thought, maybe one of the reason he reprimands Minho’s idea is just because he still has tiny hope that Jonghyun and him might had another chance in the future.
“From time to time, I was thinking that the more day passed, we’re closer to the image of friends with benefit.”
“Friends with benefit? Tsk,” Jonghyun slapped his forearm, “The only benefit I got from you is you’re the only perfect nanny for Roo when I’m away.”
“Those cups of coffee every single time you stopped by my shop?”
“Pfft. How stingy. I’m leaving.”
“Heartless.”
Jonghyun didn’t say anything more and returned inside to gather his things and called Roo. He desperately needs some hot shower. Somewhere inside him, he was expecting Jinki offering him to stay the night knowing how caring the man and the fact Jinki knows he bolted to the other’s apartment right away after landed.  
When Jinki handed him the leash, that hope vanished in second.
“What if later I really considered this person? Or any other person collided with me on the future?”
Jonghyun smiled, he looks tired, but very sincere, “Then good.”
“Because I’m not gonna bother you anymore?”
“No. Because you’ll have someone to share the happiness with.”

toffee!
no dont apologise! i didnt check until just then so np :)
mmm yeah it is a bit trippy. hehe ITS TRUE THO. yeah sadly i think ur right, and tag blocking is probably a good idea. sometimes smut written well or not in excess is okay but goddamn when its abt 01 line and thats the whole fic... *silently blocks tags*
hehe i do that all the time lol this conversation is carrying on threads from a month ago :) mmm yeah ur probably right sadly, same. HA HE DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE and now i have someone to talk to abt them, so thats good! I KNOW felix was actually the one who got me into skz with his iconique gods menu line so i guess i have a soft spot for him. i always tell myself my bias is chan but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess im more whipped than id like to admit. mmm yeah that does make sense dw i hope they do that as well. YES king seungmin hIMSELF. GODDAMNIT DONT GET ME STARTED ON MINHO IN GODS MENU I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE WAS PART OF THE GROUP UNTIL I STARTED GETTING MORE INTO THEM. BITCH (affectionate) THE LINE DISTRIBUTION HAS BEEN UTTER DOG SHIT but *deep breath* its better now so were moving on adn hoping it stays that way. sis same but i may or may not have gone thru a rlly depressed phase and actively sought out the elimination episodes so i could actually force some tears out of my emotionless shell of a heart but what cna you do? lmaoo i feel that irl, binnie deserves more vocal lines. yesss channies accent is rlly prominent then, i think also the way he structures his phrasing? is more english speaking than korean? but yeah i totally get what ur saying. AJKSAL lmao
okay then! im excited for whenever it gets done! (maybe tag me?) ahh the cold shrivelled heart of a dark au writer beats again at the thought of torturing another poor characters very soul (/j) :(( yeah that would suck not being able to see them. ohhh ur on the other hemisphere to me! were just going into spring rn. mmm smth to look forward to! YES you put it into words. they rlly are pretty independent from the company (remember how jyp rejected that other dudes songs after like 3 seconds and then how he was apparently nervous to show the song hed written to chan cos chan was so good at writing hits ahhh sweet revenge) mmmYES we rlly need a mute and remove notifications button for our brains dont we?
YES CORRECT i totally agree. some people jsut dont give it a try, adn assume its bad cos its korean smh racist assholes. yes! im coming up to my 6 month anniv actually! sis sAME, i feel like theyre being tugged into appealing to the western american market and theyre not staying as true to their artistic flair as a group, especially with only writing english songs atm. *sigh* ah well, at least theyre bringing recognition to the kpop world. AHUH dead on, theyre going to be discarded pretty soon and then where will bp be? theyll prob go solo paths which is rlly sad but what can you do when the company is run by a prideful asshole? yg is not going to last much longer in the big four if they keep this up.
hehe you get it. oooh very cool! whos ur ult? (sorry if youve said this before) mmmm yeah good decision, i feel liek thats probably a wise decision. this is my first album release as a kpop stan (not counting mixtape oh) so i think ill get it for sentiments sake. yeah! im excited for the new music! mingi was the one who got me into them, but atm my bias is seonghwa followed by san, wooyoung and ateez but jonghos high notes man *swoon* he, yeah atm ive got jake, jay, nikki, jungwon and sunoo down so just trying to get the rest :) heh, yeah kard i rlly only got into cos of bm, ive seen him like interacting with a lot of idols and he seemed nice so i decided to check out the group. ikr gunshot man *another swoon*
no noe! i didnt know what it was until i got it lol. thx toffee ill try and take that to mind :) yeah lol im on a waiting list thats not going to be free until late september so hopefully i can hold on until then. hope ur okay, that sounds like it sucks, hope you can find someone. maybe ill just take you along on my phone and the therapist can get a two for one patient deal lmaooo. mmm, sorry no i havent mentioned it before, i dont rlly talk abt it much. uhhh basically hypermobility? if you google it, it doesnt seem bad, jsut joint flexibility but ive got the severe end of the stick, leaning towards ehlers danlos syndrome so thats fun. basically it just makes it hard for me to exercise, run, jump, stand or just walk for long periods of time and gives me a lot of joint and muscle pain so... thats fun! but obviously so many other people have it worse than me, so i try not to complain. normally in young people it will improve as they get older, but my doctor said bc its severe in me, its unlikely to get much better. but again, i dont have the worst lot in the bunch, so its all g.
oh its good that its not the bad type of rain, a light sprinkling can be relaxing sometimes. aww thx darl, the concern is appreciated but it went pretty well and i managed not to cough too much on stage or kill myself trying to run around to the other side of the stage in the pouring rain so thats good! oooh tea buddies! my dogs a labradoodle, but shes a bit more of a feral poodle lol not much labrador in her at all, unless its her relentless urge to hunt down every bird that has ever walked this earth smh :((( hopefully they can come back on soon, does uni have dances?
ahhh a mood if i ever heard one. hopefully things will get better for you soon, ik anxiety sucks ass. ooh thats always good! when its sunny here, its always melt ur thongs to the pavement hot so the nicely cool sunny days are a lovely change. hehe impatience is not so good for you, but good for us that get to see ur beautiful theme early. ahh no worries, itll come eventually hopefully. and if not, then just things that make you not anxious are good. it doesnt have to be black or white, sometimes gray is good. mmmmm sames i have midterms this week to catch up on and then two weeks of end of terms so thats fun! i hope u can overcome that a little, heres some channie to be ur motivation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8LWyNjzOww. hah! i hear that all the time, he seems to be everywhere. did you see that tiktok of hans slowed back door rap, i stg it sounded EXACTLY like namjoon, it kinda scared me. also teh beginning of another day, sounds so much like joon i swear.
that reminds me! idk ur biases! i feel like this should be smth i should know so please! feel free to elaborate!
ahh im glad, i was worried it is. mmm same, so no hard feelings if either of us misses a day or smth. ill start worrying if weeks/months have gone by, but if its just a little while thats more than fine. ill just picture you studiously completing notes and i wont worry lol
<3 w.a. 🐺
at some point i really think i'm going to start blocking accounts because blocking tags won't be enough. i saw ask tags the other day and it just made me want to bleach my eyeballs.
i could talk about god's menu felix for hours man. the teaser for god's menu that featured his part on the bridge made me look forward to the mv release. you: biases chan, also you: lixiesbabyhands. yes you are more whipped than you think. i can't believe orange haired minho was given NOTHING during that era but they kind of made up for it in the b-sides. i also hope it stays that way. the distribution for this era was pretty fair.
"torturing another poor character's soul" in all honesty, i used to live for this. 2017 me leading up to early 2020 wrote nothing but angst. i have another aussie friend on twt and tbh i'm still really (O.o) about the seasons! jyp should be terrified skz could easily take over that company. heck if skz grow old and start their own company, they'd probably do a great job at running it. PLEASE. i have issues on muting/notifications both mentally and in real life. sometimes, i just wish to disappear.
some people in my country are just disgusting tbh. not only racist but homophobic too. they label kpop as 'gay' and it DISGUSTS me. it's a problematic behavior/mindset people in my country need to fucking get rid of. anyway, HELP ME 6 MONTHS??? and i've been in this shit for like a decade eye. tbh, i’m not fond of kpop groups trying to appeal to the western audience :// it feels like they’re losing their identity in a way. yes recognition but at what cost? yg has my favorite groups but that’s one shitty company when it comes to promoting.
okay my ult! it’s haechan from nct but i consider chan an ult too. like a close second above my whopping list of kpop boys. oh yes! you should get the album just for like a keepsake? remembrance? how did mingi appeal to you? omg did you start getting interested in ateez back when he was still on hiatus? NOT YOU BIASING THE SAME PEOPLE I DID WHEN I FIRST STARTED STANNING. the infamous ateez thot-line. jongho is easily one of the best fourth gen vocalists out here, no one can change my mind :( good luck with memorizing the rest of enhypen! just in time for the comeback too. i hope i’ll get into kard soon but i’m pretty content (and a tad bit overwhelmed) with the amount of groups i stan right now.
please hold on though, feel free to vent here if you like. thanks for the offer tho HAHA but like i’ll try to get checked here too when the cases die down a bit. i’m sorry to hear about your condition though :( please don’t ever overwork yourself to the point that your joints/muscles would ache. it’s completely valid to complain about it tho. i get that you have others in mind but keeping that mindset really doesn’t do you (like you internally) any better? so if you need to, vent your frustrations out and don’t keep it in.
oh my god, about your performance last sunday. was the stage out in the open? glad you didn’t cough too much and did well on your concert. i’m proud of you! i can never understand dogs and poor birds T_T uni doesn’t have dances unfortunately. i think there’s just one party at the end like a graduation ball. what year are you in anyway? if it’s something that you’re fine with sharing. if not, it’s cool.
good luck with your exams! and thanks for the link! AHA what a cutie. i think he does this motivation thing once in a while during his lives and it’s just comforting. yeah joon and han my irl just freaked when we made that discovery. ult crumbs for her. oh god not me forgetting about every biases when you asked. you can ask for my biases in a few groups just list down the one’s you’re interested in knowing. 
i missed yesterday because i was grinding and finishing what if we stay + school work. finally did it today. i’m sure i’ll reply in like a day or two, definitely not a month unless i state otherwise. if i ever decide to abandon this blog, i’ll let you know.

Dir en grey IN SITU - TABULA RASA DVD Translation
By DirengreyTranslation
02:15
-When your making a song, how do you normally start?
Kaoru; Well by playing the guitar, just kinda playing around, if something catches my interest then i start from that.
Die: From there, everyone listens together then decides what song its going to be, then we’ll add our own phrases, or Shinya adds his own patterns etc like  the guitar will be in this approach..
Shinya; Firstly I listen to the first impression of the song, then I create the drumming that I’m inspired to make from that, then its kinda back and forth.
Toshiya: While making a song sometimes the framework changes, there’s various patterns. About the way of the completion of it.. we each maybe have our own.. what would you say.. images. But until there there is nothing like a  realized completed form.
Die: If I put it into to words, in there, our thinking all collects so there’s like too many directions mixing together. But like that we’d be unable to do anything.Kaoru: to an extent_______?I’ll say something like “its this kinda feeling” or another member will say something like that, then from there it kinda changes, and we can see where its going. That happens sometimes.Die: So each member will take that, then change their approach, kinda turn it over and turn it overKyo: Even if I listen to the song and think uhh its this kinda song, they’ll change the tempo etc and the image of the song will change.( _____?) so I’ll just think “hmm that part’s interesting”. Its okay. If I enter into song making from the pre production stage then its all a waste. Even though they’ve finished the song, they may have have to redo the tempo.Shinya: If I think i wonder if  this is the A melody Kyo will come and read the A melody as a different part, then I make that the A melody.Kyo: The person who comes forward with the idea for the song first has their opinion as the main, if they go too off track, then well correct them butToshiya: In the beginning,_________? for my part, I’ll choose the part that had the best first impressionKaoru: Sometimes I think , well I’ve made so its okay like that, but recently I’ve been more like I should place more importance on that, and thinking like does it sounds like a phrase which is like “he has thought about it”. I like that kinda thing but in what this band plays there’s parts that aren’t like that like the first recording, I want to put importance on those parts too1013.05.15 shinkiba studio coast
13:13Kyo: Vocalists have to be seen on stage, have to talk on stage, ________?, that’s old , so i thought to reversely, hide myself, just express myself with my shadow, then I enjoy seeing how i want to perform? Its not like i think in my head “I want it to go like this so ill do this” when i stand there and do it am  i giving 100 percent?What ??ould i call it… hmm.. intuition? I have self confidence in that. I try it and then watch a video of it and think “of course, i did it” “of course, its interesting” I could express one more thing i wanted to._____________? so i just gradually do that.
Toshiya: I get nervous before concerts, i wouldn’t want to not get nervous before them. Standing on the stage and performing i don’t want it to become just like an everyday thing, I don’t want to make it normal. I want it to be something special. I want it to be like a dream.
(we have to think about that if hes still bad tomorrow he may have to go to hospital well, well let’s keep an eye on the condition of his throat today and see if there’s anything strange (something about if it hurts too bad for him to swallow anything?????????????????
15:21 Written on screen
“Yesterday Kyo took to the stage despite suffering from tonsillitis””The other members are increasingly worried about Kyo, whose fever isn’t coming down at all.”
”The other members held a rehearsal without Kyo.”
Kyo?(I think he says something about eating yoghurt and his throat hurting too much for something else?”)
18:44 (written on screen)
"Right after this performance, Kyo was rushed to hospital"Kaoru: At Studio coast, It was like we have no choice but to do it. Rather than thinking is he okay? it was more like, well its tough but lets work hard. There was a lot of that feeling. We didn’t sort of express a worried atmosphere.
Die: I was thinking that next time it could be another member. What if it wasn’t Kyo, but another member, they just have to do it. Its not that Kyo would get better. It’s the part of us that’s like “we’re prepared for war”, we’re always ready."5.20 in the studio"
"A rehearsal was held for the 5.24 Shibuya public hall live"(I can’t really hear this next part properly so its not all that they say><)Guy: Kyo feels like he wants to do it but we still don’t know if he can
Kaoru: If we can’t do it?Toshiya: I don’t want him to do it if its gonna be dangerous.
Kaoru: So we don’t need to over do it?
Guy: We wont tell you “You definitely have to do it”. You guys need to think about it yourselves.Toshiya: I understand his feels, of wanting to do it, wasn’t this a rehearsal to calm our worries? ___________?
Toshiya: It could happen to any of us, not just Kyo. With that thought we thought what should we do? as much as possible we want to think about what course we can take so that we can do it. And not just doing it, we want to do our best.The bands motivation, and the own persons motivation is also important, so if those all go together then we’ll do it.
Shinya: Its something he’d dealt with for 10 something years… so if it his condition is bad I think he should take a break.22:55
“Kyo, whose condition has recovered appears at the scene”
?????
Kyo:?The doctor said i had cured? but i still felt bad? (laughs) tours are often cancelled or postponed due to throat issues. It’s not that my body is too weak, its just overuse. So repeating that over again, it would have been okay to postpone or cancel the tour but I really hated the thought of “again!!??” Normally I don’t feel like that. The other members have memories of that place so they  told me not to over do it, but actually I felt even more than normal that i wanted to perform. It would be okay if i could put out 100 percent of my current self. I didn’t think at all about what songs to sing, I just sung what had already been decided. One of the songs that came up was Jealous, probably because when its come up in the past I’ve done it. If I had a choice I wouldn’t have included it, since I haven’t been able to rehearse, and being in my current state, I’m the main in that song aren’t I? Its just me singing.. its too much. Its like um, it’s not normal to go on stage without having practiced it at all
Kaoru: Until the end  of coast, that song hadn’t been included. 15 years ago at Shibuya hall we played it in an encore, though that was a different version, with the whole band, not the acapella version.  Then while thinking wonder how it would go, wonder if we could do it, I tried putting it out there. Well it was up to Kyo whether to do it or not, but he didn’t say anything so i thought, he feels like doing it and his feelings are forward facing, for the band __________?Kyo: It had been such a long time since I’d performed it, so I didn’t want to.30:52 Written on screen
"The tour in Europe started from Germany"31:37
"A sound check took place at the studio"
34:24Die:(in tour bus) This is only used in Europe, the ceiling’s so low
Camera guy: It is low isn’t it.
"During the tour everyone lives in this tour bus"Camera guy: The beds are that small?. So small!
Die: They’re so small right!Camera guy: So small!
Die: (outside the tour bus) When it’s been one month it’s a bit…Camera guy: So the longest you stay in the bus is 1 month?Die: Well, around 3 weeks. ______?fans try and climb it (the tour bus) that’s why there’s all these marks on it and there’s all this dirt. (cracks up laughing) We’re constantly using it throughout the tour so if it isn’t constantly cleaned it gets really dirty! Insects die on it and stuff.
Camera guy: This is the lounge. Is the bus the same every time you tour Europe?
Die: In Europe it’s normally this kinda of bus. Sometimes a newer one. This part is nicer? ____________?36:55
Die: This place is coolCamera man: Yeah it is.
Die: It’s different every time, the chairs.. and the sounds is,. closed voice rings out??______________? Here, its not that we’re cutting corners we’re just doing it more naturally… but Germany was the first place in Europe we ever played, in 2005, so it’s… how should I put it… like returning to our origins.Die: Today too, the lights and everything are being done by local people we’re working with for the first time. In Japan we have the same staff who always help us, they listen to our songs, and learn/ teach us?. But here it’s completely different, even if they listen to our songs to a certain extent, well, our world views are different, and we don’t win them?  But it’s interesting being completely different. Here, it’s not done perfectly____?
39:13
Kaoru: Ah, this is wrong, the final song before the encore is meant to be saku.Guy: Ah, that’s right.Kaoru: Didn’t you make this in Japan? Will it be okay..
41:06Toshiya: (pointing to arms of DEG hoodie) if I cut these it might be cool
Nora: Ah you’re gonna do it yourself??
Toshiya: yep!41:31
Toshiya: uh… Can i get another one?? (cracks up laughing)(are they calling Shinya’s top girly? I’m not sure..)50:15
"They weren’t performing that day so they did some sightseeing"51:48
Toshiya: This is really cool, I got a photo.55:17
Toshiya: For me, tours in Japan are itariritsu _______?tours overseas are for studying.Kaoru: In Japan everything is done very precisely, but overseas everything is much more lose.  like “about..”  I like that personally.
Shinya: Personally, my thinking is the same for both. Overseas is _________?Die: Overseas fans, and it’s the same for Japanese fans in the countryside, can’t go to our concerts often, so there’s a lot of difference with that. Because for them they don’t know when we will come again, or when they will see us again. The heart is different.Toshiya: ______?a world I’ve never seen before.while I’m fighting I want to try fighting.Kaoru: In Japan we often go to the same places, and we understand the ways of the place. But overseas we have no idea about the places, we’re really just going to do the tour… but I like that. I think if we knew more about the places we were playing then it would affect our concerts. and do something to our condition„
Kyo:I don’t like ____overseas I don’t dislike overseas tours, but I don’t like being separated from Japan? I don’t like moving around, I don’t like the food, I don’t like not understanding at all what?people are saying. Really don’t like it! (laughs) If I came overseas, and put up with all these things I don’t like, then did a shitty concert, I’d really regret it. So I think I need to make them the best.59:16
"What is Dir en grey’s unique weak point?"Kaoru: In a good way, and a bad way, our actions are a bit weak, we… what should I say… we often don’t have self confidence, but reversely, it becomes our power. If all five of us come together we can do all these things, but if we’re alone we don’t have self confidence. So in a good way and a bad way that’s like our weakness.________(also randomly)
Second dvd
39:00
Kyo: I’ve caused you a lot of worry this year. See you next year.
1:00:08
For you guys, what is an important source of negativity?
Kaoru: For me, how should I put it, choosing something that isn’t following someone else, or doing something just to go along with someone else. We’re doing the band like that. More than (______) defying people and from there kind of finding our own world, our own place. I have experienced these things firsthand, getting angry, losing your temper at yourself. It’s like a fight with myself, releasing what I’m aiming for(??) in regards to myself.
1:10:06
(written on screen)
"They arrived at the DOWNLOAD festival in England"
1:11:46
Die: It’s small!!! (when pointing to Dir en grey’s name on a list of the bands playing)
1:12:08
Toshiya: I’ve seen various things.
Camera guy: I think there’s a rest place over there.
Toshiya: Its probably going to rain.
1:12:24
Toshiya: We’ve stayed in America for one month before, on a tour. When I think about the first part of it now… man it was tough. But it was interesting. We were certainly young. No matter what I do it’s the same, more than material difficulty, when my heart breaks it’s like the end of everything. (____) When I think “This is bad” I feel like it’s the end of everything. (I think he then says something like “at that point if it wasn’t me could it continue”???) The reason that Japanese bands can’t make it overseas may be because of that. It’s really tough right (laughs)
1:14:31
(Written on screen)
"The staff check the equipment during the change over time"
”There are technical troubles right before they go on stage”
”There was a mistake in the harmony settings”
1:16:00
Nora: How long will it take you to play five songs?
Staff: We’re six minutes over
Nora: If we’re over six minutes can you play five songs?
Kaoru, Kyo: We can we can.
”In the end, due to the technical difficulties they had to cut 2 songs”
1:20:12
Nora: Good work
(laughing)
Kaoru: Wasn’t it bad?
Kaoru: Of course, I think I’m weak. Even if it’s like that(the technical difficulties) it’s like let’s do it. Thinking why did this happen? Would be strange. Talking about being uneasy, I think it’s okay if we feel uneasy. When I thought what is going on? It’s really the first time, what if it gets any worse? Then the thought “if I don’t take it somewhere to a certain extent then we can’t do it” was running around in my head. That’s how it was.
Shinya: Overseas, every time we go to festivals they’re inconvenient and firstly, the monitors(??) are definitely bad. But from that inconvenience we’re doing it and its okay. In a way like not assuming anything.
Toshiya:(_____) There’s no courage in saying, and I don’t want to say at a late time that it was fair(??)(or he may be saying something like there’s no courage in saying and I don’t want to say at a late time it would have been good to do it this way..??). Because the results appear there… yeah,  I didn’t do that, I couldn’t do that . Well there’s many times when we’re inexperienced or we couldn’t communicate properly. But anyway with those things, thinking what will we do next? is more worthwhile. We want to continue thinking like that.
Die: But I think the circumstances are the same for quality bands. But they’re still doing it properly. It would be strange if we said no, we won’t go on stage. There’s still a lot of (_____) in different parts isn’t there.
1:23:43
(Talking about travelling in the tour bus)
Kaoru: Some parts don’t put me in a bad temper, but there’s times where you can’t help it. Strangely, Going to a hotel is a bother. One day this hotel, then the next day a different hotel. Moving our stuff around each day. We don’t have to live out of a suitcase on the tour bus. And if we do that we run out of time (???)
(What do you feel is tough about overseas tours?)
Kaoru: The language barrier. I can’t speak any foreign languages. If I could understand, and speak the language then I could ask about how to go to places and stuff, but I can’t speak any foreign languages so I can’t ask. I can’t become more familiar with the places. Yeah, that’s the biggest difficulty.
(talking about previous days technical difficulties)
Kaoru: Everyone being unable to calm down, the members all go to the stage as quickly as they can, then while hearing that we can’t go on stage yet we were thinking what’s really going to happen?? (??) At the end we noticed our inexperience (??)(he mumbles something about in the members hearts then says “sorry”(this part was really hard to hear><))
1:25:41
(written on screen)
”They arrive at NOVA ROCK festival in Austria”
Toshiya: We came straight from England. Through Germany, France, Belgium
Kaoru: I’ve heard about that stage before of course since we’ll be performing on it I’m interested in it. How big it is, what kind of atmosphere it has etc. (____) No one’s here.
1:33:20
Die: It doesn’t feel like (we’ve played??) It’s tough.
Toshiya: How was it? Like this isn’t it. How I imagined it to be. It’s the same for everything, you need to hope.
1:34:07
Toshiya: What … what… what do I hope for? Well, it’s limited to what I’m able to do, so it’s just to step by step do what I can now. In the limits of what I am able to do, even if I have big dreams, life doesn’t really go that well?  (laughs) (He then says something about dreams?). If I live with this kind of feeling of fear (??) then I might fall but everyone’s lives don’t go better than what they think. I can’t believe that there’s a future I can hope for waiting for me.(laughs)Of course, there are some things I hope for.
Die: Playing on the third day of the festival the crowd was a bit tired. hmm not fresh? It was more (___) than the first time we played at a festival in Germany in 2005. I think we’re still in progress.
Kyo: Bands that do well overseas make the fans clap their hands, meet and talk with their fans, and make a feeling of being one. But originally Dir en grey doesn’t do those kinds of things. It’s not that we don’t do it because it’s overseas. I think thinking that if we don’t do those kinds of things then the fans won’t get excited is weak.  Even if we add them, I don’t want to get too absorbed into that kind of thing. It’s kind of like a conflict. But we have to, and there’s also the fact that the lyrics are in Japanese. I think there is also that aspect so I think its okay like this.
1:37:56
Kaoru: We’ve been touring overseas for 5 or 6 years now and to a certain extent there are parts that are the same, pragmatic parts. I think we need to consider how we can expand those parts. Of course we want to play overseas but in doing so we have to balance many things. There are many difficult and strict parts.
Die: Playing overseas, including when we do solo shows I want to do more with the stage, lights etc. I also want to show overseas what we show on tours in Japan. We still haven’t done that. I think we’ll return to Japan with well-informed/detailed thoughts.
Shinya: I wish that we could soon be able to play overseas like we play in Japan. Toshiya: I think there’s no welcome for Japanese culture. That’s something I’ve thought from going and seeing for myself. I think we’re maybe currently at a crossroads of do we continue holding on to our past heritage or do we carve out a new road.
Kyo: Personally I think if we found a band with the same kind of atmosphere and world view, I’d like to tour with them. But there isn’t really any. Overseas it depends on (___) for me.
Die: I don’t have any goals for the future, how I want to be etc. I think it would be good if I changed more. So I hope I can steadily change.
Kaoru: I hope I can continue and continue giving shape to what it seems like I’m able to do and what I want to do.
Shinya: There’s nothing in particular that I want to do, or evolve. It’s more like I’ll just notice that I’ve evolved.
Toshiya: I want to leave in preparation things that are like it’d be good if we could do this kind of thing as a result after finishing something
Kyo: My generation… (??) I don’t really talk, or know the songs. (???) But I’m having fun doing it a real, raw way.

Sorry for being abscent tumblr, I’ve been super busy with the work! I’ll make a mega update here to get us caught up, and ill upload more photos after.
Since unwrapping the environment I have taken it to substance, got all the maps generated, made some optimisations on render time (Still some noise but render time is at 18minutes at some points so wont push it any more - waiting to hear back from Sang on how good the render time is/optimised the scene is before i send render farm requests) and done my animating!! Phew!
The substance painter stuff was good fun - I learend some lessons with the character, and knew the best way to approach this was to put everything under one material that I wanted on one map. To that end I put the entire room (walls floor etc) as one material (due to its physical size and wanting to put text on the floor) and the objects within the room - computers, piping, platform etc - on another atlas. Both atlas’ were 4k, and the only exceptions to that was a few individual maps - one for the robotic arms holding her, as I made them seperate and couldnt/dont know how to combine maps, and one for the pistol (ill show in next post) as I did that after (I decided a couple days before starting animation to test myself to model, wrap and texture a pistol in one day - I did it!! :D
I messed around with colour palette a bit with the room. I wanted a dark ominous room, but felt that showing the room with grey or dark surfaces lost the clean room/labratory feel. I think its vitally important in a sci-fi environment to try to keep real world links as close as possibly as they act like markers for the viewer to follow. I.e. by maintaing an aesthetic in this room or a labratory or hospital with the clean shiney surfaces, and the screen terminals using words like testing etc, the viewer will hopefully understand that its a lab/test facility of some description for the robot - That’s the plan anyway. By making the room darker, it might all into question the use or purpose of building. For example. is she there to be interogated? Has she been captured? As opposed to thinking oh this is a new technology...
I’ve not done any animation before, so was both excited and concerned to start, although it was a nice change of pace and helped keep me interested with a change of the usual workflow.
Luckily, as my story focuses on her being restrained for a large majority of the film, I didn’t have any massively challenging animation to do. However this didn’t mean I would coast the work and get it done as soon as possible. I wanted to make sure her acting and performance read as clearly as possible, as I need her movements to be one of the key indicators of her “state” i.e. human, or robot. I also quickly created blendshapes for her - I planned on her being unable to emote, but I felt this was a bit of a cop out. I didn’t want her to open her mouth, sure, as I felt that was a one way trip to uncanny that I coulnd’t use within the story, and would make her impossible to empathise with (if I had time, sure it would be a fun experiment to see what worked better, but time isnt on my side). This did mean that her emotions were slightly limited , BUT, because i wanted her to see trapped in her own body, and like her faculties were limited (due to the fact her head has been removed and put on a robot!!) I think it worked well. I created blendshapes for fear, sadness, anger, a blink, and a frown (to augment the other emotions). I’m so glad I did these, as the became key in a few of the shots, and really make them pop, and make her “come to life”, so I’m pleased I took the time to do them.
The animation was fun, a few issues came up however, but for the most part it was pretty straight forward. I took some videos of myself doing some of the movements as reference for the animations. I tried to do it in a week or less, which I managed, to make sure that I stay on target time wise, and as I opted to use After Effects to show the screens, I wanted extra time to learn - I want the screens to flash and change, and thought it would also be a good oppotunity to learn how to use After Effects as I’ve not used it at all.
I’ve spent a bit of time too working on camera movement and set up. I’ve weant for a 25mm focal length for most shots to show as much of the set as possible, situating the camera more. I try to frame each shot as well as possible to make it look good, draw the viewers eye to key information, and on a few shots, frame screens so that they can get plot information as to what is going on. It’s been difficult to make sure the camera looks as natural as possible, and not like a maya camera, which is tough. Camera work itself is an entire artform in itself...
So, I want to discuss a few of the issues I’ve had and how I got around them or solved them.
So, as I mentioned I had some issues with the animatiom. These came from the rig, and the blendshape.
First of all the blendshapes for her face - as I think I mentioned before, I did blenshapes for her bicepts so that when she moves her arm, her biceps will tense and relax to show that movement. It’s very subtle and probably never be noticed, but it looks cool when you look for it, and it was a great learning experience. I had to move its order in the channel editor to make sure it moved at the right time within the rig, and it worked totally fine, and easier than I thought! I did the same with the shoulder muscles, but more as corrective blendshapes as the rig/deformations isnt perfect. However, the face blendshapes wouldn’t play ball... I tried adjusting their order, I tried every combination, I tried deleting their history and their transforms, nothing worked - everytime I applied them, her head would shoot off into the distance. I spoke with both Sang and Michael and Patrick Sloan, eventually the 2 Sloans worked out that by deleting the meshes post, and applying them all as one blendshape (originally I did them one by one) it worked. I tried doing them as one BS without deleting them and for some reason it didnt work. I took it as it was and even asked Sang if he knew why (he didnt). As long as it worked though, I didnt care...
The next issue with the rig was something that totally slipped by somehow; When I rotate her global control her chest and abdomen wouldnt deform right AT ALL. I had no idea how it happened and started freaking out. The 2 Sloans couldn’t work it out either. If I grabbed her chest and her global, she would rotate better, but her stomach would twist up strangely. Eventualy Sang diagnosed that the issue was the IK Spine not twisting right, and that I must have done something wrong during the rigging stage. This was super frustrating as I took my time with the rig and followed Sang’s video perfectly. It must have been one little step, a constrain or a parent, that i missed, omited, or applied incorrectly, and more than a month later, it came to the surface. I was especially confused/frustrated as I tested the rig post completion and binding to check, but obviously hadnt used the global control to twist her. Sang found a work around, but it did mean that one of her spine controls was lost. I then realised towards the end of the animating that a few of her poses caused strange deformations, like verts jutting our, or generally not following the rest of her body too well. I would go into weight paints and smooth out the issue as best I could even though I couldnt see anything glaringly obvious, like an arm joint effecting her lower stomach, but now that I’m processing this, I wonder if perhaps losing a handle reassigne weights and didnt do it right??
Another issue I had was her armor and torso/muscles being SUPER Shiny. I couldn’t work this out especially as she looked totally fine within substance. Initially I assumed it was an arnold render setting and that I hadn’t turned samples high enough, but after optimising the samples using Sang’s tutorla (which made the render time too high unfortunately) I realised the issue remained. One day I eventually decided it wasn’t right and that it wasn’t just me - it was too much. I worked my way through Arnold’s material settings, turning this up, down, off, every which way, to see if it effected the shine. I eventually found the culprit was Diffuse Roughness and nothing more, and that by simple adjusting the exposure/alpha in the settings, it reduced this shine completely. The way I set up my materials meant that it effected her whole texture (even though muscle/skin and armor are in different graphs) so I lost a tiny bit of shine to her skin, but I think it still looks fine - if anything before hand her lips looked too shiney, as if she had on lip gloss.
I also had some issues creating the cabling for her helmet. I needed the cabes to flex and bend with her as they moved. In my head the best way would be and IK set up. Initially I tried this, and I use a cube to measure the start and end points, and used an arc to create a perfect bend over the 90 degrees. This was a good idea, and the cable could go from a 90 degree bend to perfectly straight, but any additional bend didnt work and just turned the cable. I then started thinking about IK Splines, and watched a few tutorials online but couldnt get it to work. It made sense though, a spline would allow the perfect movement! Evnetually me and Sang spoke a few times and he was able to find a solution. An spline set up that didnt work like an IK and meant I had to do lots of manual adjustments, but for the most part it looks great. So for the small cables on the sides of her helmet, i kept the simple but effective “fire and forget” IK cables, and for the rear of her head I used the spline, as this area would move and twist much more. It took a while to create and solve, but meant that it looked good and only took a small amount of additional work to animate.
I will upload some more images, such as test shots, the pistol (which barely gets any screen time, but only took a day to work on so not a massive loss.
Only a few weeks to go! Waiting for Sang to get back to me on scene set up and optimisation, once that gets the green light I’ll start sending render farm requests!

Ep. #2 - “Shit ain’t over till the fat lady sings and I didn’t warm my pipes.” (Cameron)
Tumblr media
Day 4: Well. I survived my first tribal council of the season, and even though it went exactly according to plan, while I slept my entire day away, I'm still really hesitant to tell myself that I'm doing well on my tribe. I'm really nervous that my tribe mates are playing me, and that I'm really boo boo tha fool here. I called Megan post-tribal, and I was finally able to get some closure on something that happened between us in our personal lives, which felt really good. After that, she asked me about the idol, to which I had responded "Wait, Julian didn't tell you?", which hopefully sows some seeds of doubt in Megan about Julian. Ideally, if the Enlil tribe has to go back to tribal council, the four of us can bear witness to a Megan vs. Julian war. Because unfortunately, the connections I have outside Enlil, are shared with either Julian or Megan. If Megan and Julian are going after each other pre-merge, or during a swap scenario, I don't have to share those connections anymore. After that, Megan and I just talked about the nudes we received during quarantine ~ I then promptly ran to Will to tell him about the potential crack I just formed between Julian and Megan, which was met with genuine excitement. I think I'm really gaining Will's trust, and I think we vibe so well together. Love that guy! Overall, it wasn't a very productive day because I woke up at 4:30p PST. Love that for me, thanks for shading me @ Tribal Bodhi.
Tumblr media
going into this scavenger hunt as the tribe that went to tribal last is worrysome. It's a challenge that's fully dependent on our activity, so we are at a serious disadvantage against the other two tribes that get to choose someone less active to sit out. We don't have that luxury. The point/life system eases the blow, however, since we can get less active players 1 life while more active players can get 3. In case we lose, I'm trying to connect with everyone on the tribe. I really don't want to vote anyone out though. I have an alliance with Julian and JJ, and one with Will on the side. Chrissa wants to work with Julian, JJ and myself, and I think Megan and JJ have something on the side. I'm nervous for who would be the target in the vote, and any vote would hurt all of our games collectively. Hopefully we win because the next vote will not be easy AT ALL.

jj and zachary are so fucking annoying to this challenge and if i vote for you first at the swap, its probably because youre typing too much during this challenge sorry not sorry xoxo - sincerely johnny a month from now
Tumblr media
let me be clear with andrew I was not calling his hosting unfair i was calling the fact that a majority green item giving him a point unfair not the hosting but lack of yellow, also i have a headache i don't feel that good. and I just don't think zach should have had a point for it nothing against hosting obviously i watch a movie trivia thing where literally they have a challenge to challenge any questions that are unfair, that doesn't mean they are calling the question writers or the answer writers unfair. 
Tumblr media
Zach just won the tribal challenge for us which is fantastic. We can maintain the illusion of a unified tribe longer, which keeps us together in a swap situation, and Zach has clearly painted a challenge target on himself over the last two challenges which will make him go before me if our Triforce ever becomes the minority. I'm really happy with my position in the game right now

JULIAN’S HOST CHAT GUEST, ZEE:
I am filling in a confessional because you told me to. I am in front of my fan because it's hot. I'm thinking that it seems pretty stupid to ask me for a confessional. Julian's prod chat isn't very interesting because he's distracted.

Hello tumblr survivor world! Sorry I didnt confess for episode 1, I was going to but i accidentally exited out of the page when i almost finished writing it. Anyways, it was just a cast assessment for my tribe so tl;dr everyone on my tribe is great and its really sad that we have to vote someone out now. So this whole weekend I was away so I was REALLY worried that I would be voted out since I sat out of the challenge. But after talking to Johnny and Isabelle, it seems like Madison will be voted out tonight. Which is so bad bc this her first game in a year, but hey it's our first vote and it's not me so it's not really the time to make a stand. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Okay I took a break from writing this confessional and there's moreeeeeeeee so part 2 I guess. So I had a call with Johnny and we came up with an alliance of me, him, Isabelle, and Benji. What an iconic alliance, right? But also while Johnny and I talked we got onto the topic of idols and why it is that there hasn't been an idol post yet. I brought up that wayyyyyy back when in Malaysia and some other games around that time, some of the idol hunts were less clear cut. We ended up looking at the blog and clicking the "idol system" tab and it brought us to some weird crab video with audio that sounds like a pokemon cry? Idk part of me thinks its just a joke but I also have to consider that it might be SOMETHING. It said remember to like and subscribe so I sent a screenshot of me liking and subscribing to see if that would do anything but nope. Johnny said he'd do some thinking about it and get back to me later if he figures something out. Also tribal seems super clear cut so I'm a bit less worried now but y'know how it is I can't not worry about tribal.
Tumblr media
i just spent $8 on a spectogram and STILL cant find this fucking idol im gonna kms... monty im sorry im steam rolling ahead looking for this thing without telling you, but thank you for the first clue xoxo... if i get stumped in the future ill reach out for SURE (but idt you trust me that much so this seems kinda valid to me) ((FOUR HOURS LATER: i told monty lololol)) ALSO FOR FUCKS SAKE I think madison is gonna go, and truthfully, im fine with it because it's the easiest thing to do due to her poor performance in the past few challenges and just being the least AROUND the tribe, but i know that it'd probably be better for me long term to get rid of abby because i just dont see her as a long term ally for me. i think she's close to JJ and Megan on the other tribe, and she's becoming much more acclimated to the tumblr survivor community that i just BET that she maybe has an additional connection on the rookie tribe. If I can attempt to break that up before we get to a swap, I think that's what im going to have to do figure out if we lose another challenge before a swap... i dont really want to see ANYBODY else go besides abby if im thinking about a second boot. i bet it wont be easy to take her out tho also, if madison goes, this is like...... lowkey vindication for game changers???? last night i talked about this with monty and i was like hmmmm "is it ugly to bring up past game history?" and his response was "not if it's within the same series" .... so. vindication
---
omg i just told madison how to find the idol system thing i hope she doesnt tell anyone i told her about it LMAO........ this almost seems too easy.i got added to two alliances today. why do i not feel safe? is it me going? WTF IS GOING ON
Tumblr media
excited to be first boot because no one will TALK TO ME! 
Tumblr media
Things haven’t changed much since my last confessional! As far as I know the tribe hasn’t started into alliances and we’re all riding some excitement at having so far avoided tribal. I think the rest of the tribe and I are all feeling good and just focusing on making the tribe switch without losing any members.
Tumblr media
from round 2 https://youtu.be/fk002uG2HoI
Tumblr media
Hi sorry I forgot to do a confessional this round so this will be short imma just say a few things 1. I don’t trust julian one bit he can stop being shady to me 2. I can’t believe we aren’t going to tribal I’m so fkn happy i was able to pull out the win for our tribe because I didn’t want to lose anybody else 3. I love and adore will with all of my being and he’s my number 1 ally right now 4. I find it highly doubtful that there’s only one idol in this game and that you can’t find it until merge but that’s as far as I can get in the idol search for now so I guess there’s nothing I can do about it 5. I’m still having fun can’t wait to fuck up another flash game yay!!!
Tumblr media
My Purple edit is amazing right now. But having played more games than most of these newbies, I have decided to take on the role of teacher and becoming more of a "role model" for these newbies. I feel like I have the closest bond with Zach, and I need to get a little closer with Collin. I have Grace from past games, and then there are the others who I do not really have any strong bonds with at the moment. I guess I need to start going to them more and show that I want to work with them.

Fucking told him its a huge red flag if someone doesn't get rid of their apps. Multiple apps. Smh 😠 "oh yea i don't use them anymore" proceeds to use fb dating app" for real come on bro!
Some comments of the post:
"If you have to be checking up on your Partner then you shouldn't be with that person.. Idk how people have time for all this .. love yourself and know your worth.."
"If you're in a serious committed exclusive relationship you should not be on tinder. That's how I met my fiance and as soon as we said we are gf and bf and exclusive we both deleted it. Honestly if I was her I would have broken up with him too"
"a person also has a right to trust their gut feeling and check things out if something's not feeling right. Knowledge is power"
I've already discussed this but this news clip further validates my point of the topic, nothing more. I could call him out on hs bs further with detail, but I won't....yet, out of respect even though he probably doesn't deserve it. Til he reaches me & apologizes for everything he's done, i can say whatever tf I want & i could make a whole damn list.
Its the events of this what happened that started our downfall to begin with cuz i didn't trust him & he didn't even try to gain it back just left it as is when I could've turned my back right then & there, no apology either. Didnt apologize much actually, not even when i last saw him. But from then we spiraled & he got bored of me. I wasn't giving him what he wanted in whatever way & he wanted to find more. Closed himself off from the beginning & that created his boredom 😒
Would've had a blast together like a normal fucking couple if he was less closed off, & wouldn't have felt the need to do shit behind my back.
I'll stop talking about it for now, I have the anger & urge to keep going but I wont...actually no Screw it im pissed 😡 but ill keep it light. Its just not fair, I did so much for him but I was disrespected in different aspects of the whole relationship. Fuck! I've talked about the positives alot cuz i do love him..but the negatives are such bs too.
I want a good ass sincere apology for all of it so I can forgive him & move on, ive already apologized myself even though I dont think I should have to 😒. Didnt even give me a straight answer for the breakup, it was always a different excuse when I know he just wanted to pursue other women without me around im not fucking stupid. His own toxicity was too much even for himself & I was in the line of fire, to where i was the toxic one? No fuck that its unacceptable, he always lied when it came to covering his own ass.
For all i know he's watching me squirm & taking pleasure in all the pain I'm going through over him cuz he likes the attention. But no I actually don't think so on that one he's still good & ill give him credit where its due. But I gave him all the attention he wanted/needed & still wanted more from someone else. Really dude fucking really!?
Man up & own up to your mistakes, speak to me where I can actually hear ur voice speaking back to me with sincerity. We'll apologize together. Yea ull be pissed about this, but after u get over it & calm down. Give in & call me, granted when ur ready, & open up for once in your damn reserved life. Itll help us both with more closure & may even take a weight off our shoulders if we just talk it out, no arguing...since we're done there's no point anyway..a friendly non judgment zone cuz idc, i won't think of u any less.
U confused me during & especially after the relationship cuz i didnt know who u really were, i know the good cuz that's what u allowed me to see, ive accepted the bad that I knew already & from what ive learned...i accepted u regardless.
I always forgave u & not cuz im passive, cuz forgiveness is what the Bible teaches.. ive forgiven u & myself the best i could especially with the last things ive showed u, (accept this part cuz im pissed rn & standing up for myself, ill delete eventually maybe if u ask cuz nobody wants to be seen any less of a person. but I can make it alot worse, calling me the mistake was the worst thing u ever said to me & pointing out your faults so u can be better throughout the relationship was my only toxicity to u) we actually never really fought except the 1 time, just argued a tiny bit rarely about little things.
Ive tried using every ounce of my courage to show u how much im sorry for any wrong ive done. but its up to u now to make things right. U know me, ive always said that u can talk to me about anything. I want to be able to trust again & move on whilst staying friends. What else do u have to lose, might even have a great heart to heart convo dude to dudet
Everything ive ever said up to this point lies all my Questions. But here's most of the list, we both were equally in control of the relationship. Maybe u didn't want me to? But doing everything I had to for myself & the household, what u & ur parents wanted of me & just me being me cuz i had to, u had your own part to play & did provide...but did u actually not want me to cater to u if it were a sign u were lazy or something? Like did u not feel worthy of me? What is it u think is my "addicting personality" that isn't fixable on the surface? What is it really that u didnt like about me? This is why i don't have closure, u left me like this, confused as well as wanting more since u held back so much. Was that on purpose to give me even more false hope & want me to pine over u? Did u ever or do u still, love me at all? What did u want from me & out of the relationship, what was the purpose of it from ur perspective & why do u think i couldn't give that to u? What did i lack that u felt compelled to not tell me so I could improve & vise versa so we both could improve? Why wouldn't u allow me to help u become a better man when (I shouldnt have to btw), its exactly what u wanted but maybe didnt see it? Do u realize your own faults even as u do them? Lol. Like i genuinely want to know as much as the good ive seen, cuz to be better the more open of a person u are the more u understand yourself too.
Unless claiming u want to be a better man is part of ur alluring charm in love bombing process to land a caring girl on purpose lol...god I hope not, that would just mean u rinse & repeat like a for real narcissist 🤔 seriously tho look into that im not even kidding, im asking cuz i care. Im pissed now but 1 thing is that im trying to not put ur behavior against u cuz maybe u can't help it, its just the way u are, all ive seen & experienced points to maybe 50% of u lol. Ive always suspected narcissism, a real psych problem that might be worth looking into. But yea 1 of the reasons especially why im so forgiving & trying not to put it against u, why i still care despite u being a dick lol. I chose to look past it, all the time & up to now cuz I understand what its like to have psychological ailments. The worst part about it is most dont realize it, so i encourage u to do some research & self reflection & admitting it to urself are the 1st steps. Okay? There's different kinds & levels to being 1 too, i found that fascinating. bryan is definitely a different type, ur more lighter than that...definitely not the worst which is the physical harm type. Trust me its worth finding out more about yourself, just dont use it to ur advantage in a bad way but i trust u to do right & grow. Not sure a discarded supply (ie me) has ever tried telling a narcy what they might be for the benefit of their own self awareness 🤔,idk if its ever been done, but theres a 1st for everything? U can find alot on it in quora digest alone but Google is also ur friend.
You always were worth every effort of mine to help u in any way to be happy, & i was most happy when u were. U mean alot to me still, its the effect u had on me, I was under ur spell lol its hard to rid myself of it still, not sure when it'll pass. I chose to see it as a gift rather than a curse, that ur effect on me is still so strong when I shouldn't give a damn. If u really are a narcy, then I understand & don't put alot against u cuz its just the way u are & i need to accept it, but if it somehow helps u to help yourself cuz of it, then whats the harm? But, even in doing this or having my socials public for u...maybe just feeds into what u want...i still dont care, I want u to see how bad or good im doing without u in my life, so u know im okay at least. U promised friendship, least I can do is allow u to keep tabs on me too we spoke of, on my end of things.
The 18th of June was the last time i saw u. It'll soon be a month ago in about a week & a 1/2 & your birthday would mark 2 months. Cant believe we couldn't even last through to that 😔
Mark my words playa I will be contacting u on that day lol. Can't ghost your homie forever sweetie

I felt like i just managed to understand who you were and what you felt a lot of the time.
So here goes;
You want to forget me. You do, you want to dump the memory of me and move on. You belive its weighing you down before youve tried to bare it.
You feel that I am or was a negative influence on you.
You feel that you took the biggest risks in the relationship.
You regret taking me back in 2018, given that you said it to my face.
You probably feel like breaking up with me was the best decision you ever made.
You probably thought about being single for a while and discovering yourself but realised that you cant or wont do it.
I know, whole heartedly, that you think no one has helped you in your life. Well in the past two years I did. I helped you find the courage to take the supervisor position at work, I let you have my dissertstion idea because you couldnt think of one, I helped you with your fleabag essay, I helped you download stuff and so much more. I did so much to help you and contributed to your success but I gaurantee you dont think that.
You probably blame it all on me and never what you or we both did, you may notice that many things stay the same because they are a part of you.
And I hope im wrong but I bet you think I dont or didnt care about you then. I bet you tricked yourself into thinking that I didnt care when I cared the most out of both of us.
I bet you dont speak of me highly or in a positive way. I bet you focus only on the negatives of the relationship. And i hope that makes you realise how YOUR mind works and how you make yourself feel.
You always jumped to conclusions and assumed the worst. You always thought too much and never felt.
Do you remember what one of the things I asked you to improve on when we sat on the seawall and made up? Empathy, I asked you to feel more but you never did. You stayed the same with no hint or notion of improvement or betterment. But I know for a fact that I improved, we both saw and acknowledged it.
It makes me so frustrated.
You put all your wants and desires onto me but never thought if it was too much.
And its taken me time to process. To think and feel as you would. I feel ive gotten pretty close.
Andie, I love you. I will never have nor will hold anything against you. A part of me hopes im wrong with the stuff I posted.
My emotions and my feelings are MINE. And they are here because I want it, I want you. I failed to keep you safe and happy. I failed to keep my promises to you. I failed myself and you at the same time.
I now understand what my lies felt like. Like a knife that does just as much damage coming out as it did going in. And I never want to see the same face I saw on you January 3rd ever again.
I felt too much and never thought. I hate conflict and arguing so avoided it and by avoiding it, it only made things worse. I always tried to read you instead of ask how you feel or what youre thinking. Because I was scared. You broke up with me once before and woulsnt hesitate to do it again. And I lied because I had insecurities about my self esteem. I never felt good enough especially when you seemed bored of talking to me. But again i felt you were bored of me, you probably werent but I jumped to conclusions and I suffered too.
Ive learnt so much from you and during these hellsih 5 months. Ive seen a psychotherapist weekly, ive thrown out and uninstalled games that incite my toxicity. I havent yelled or cussed or spoke negatively about another player in 2 months. I dont lie anymore I tell the truth even when it may hurt someone, especially if it may hurt someone. Ive journaled all my thoughts and feelings, the good the bad and the ugly. Ive wrote down all my successes no matter how small and insignificant and im able to appreciate me. And ive also conquered my fear of the world.
And after all that. My for you burns birghter and longer. Ive never wanted to get up and go so much in my life before. The memories are happier and sweeter and when I flick through the photo album I made you I can smile and I feel like im there, reliving all those memories.
But the one fear, one flaw still persists. And thats us. Im scared that I may never get to see you again, or hold you again. Ill never get to kiss your lips or your head before I leave. The thought of not being able to do that is terrifying.
I risk so much posting this. Because you could see this, you could see the other negative messages on here and vow never to want to see me or hear me ever again. But I hope you see the positive ones outweigh the negatives so greatly. I hope you see and appreciate the diamonds instead of fixate on the coal. I need to take the risk. Its a leap of faith.
It was the home stretch. If we had made it through thr next 5 months I truly belive we wouldve been together for ever. No more uni, no masses of stress just us. Doing what we love with who we love. I wish we got to see it.

WHEW HERE WE GO amelia + charlie callista + kieran daniel + rae elijah + ariel gwen + mikey hayley + chris henry + kennedy julian + maddie logan + avery norah + tommy reyna + matt riley + paxton savannah + adam theodore + yara
so you sent this ages ago and i don’t think i’m ever going to finish it but i wanted to post what i have done!!
send me a ship (or several) and I’ll answer:
charlie & amelia
gives nose/forehead kisses:
this one is pretty evenly split. forehead kisses are definitely charlie’s things because he can be cute when he wants to be and he at least likes to think that they’re comforting when amelia is in a bad place. Nose kisses meanwhile are more amelia’s thing when she pepper’s Charlie’s whole face with kisses.
gets jealous the most:
oof i mean they’re both pretty jealous in their own ways but charlie get’s outwardly jealous the most tbh, especially because as we’ve already established amelia doesn’t always really notice when she’s being flirted with. he’s the typical boyfriend very hands on with her and has probably punched a guy at least once.
takes care of the other on sick days:
listen the side of charlie that’s most like his mother comes out when amelia is sick okay. he’s actually really good at taking care of people when he actually lets his guard down. amelia gets everything she could want, not to mention because he totally thinks he’s invinsible he’s totally down to cuddle as much as she wants.
drags the other person out into the water on beach day:
oh this is totally amelia. tbh the mental image of charlie at the beach is a really amusing because it definitely attacks the whole bad boy image he tries to keep up. on a serious note he really is likely to sit with a book all day, so she totally has to drag him or at least flirt with him a little bit to get him to do what she wants.
brings the other lunch at work:
i feel like this is quite an amelia thing to do. especially if charlie has been stressing out over a project. he just lights up when he sees her it really is the sweetest thing, probably tells all of the crew about that she’s his favourite human on the planet.
tries to start role-playing in bed:
again this is amelia. not to make it angsty but it’s probably connected to her feeling insecure and wanting to keep charlie interested in her despite the fact that we all know that she’s gotten him wrapped around her finger. their whole sex life is quite interesting though, because it’s really the first time that sex has really meant something to charlie even though they have an awful lot.
is an embarrassing drunk dancer:
definitely amelia. it takes a while for charlie to really see her without any form of inhibitions, so when he does see her drunk dancing for the first time it’s probably a really intimate moment between them that he just finds really endearing.
firmly believes in couples costumes:
i actually can’t believe that it’s charlie. like not at first obvs, but when they actually get used to being a couple charlie likes to be able to show everyone that he’s the one that gets to be her boyfriend. these aren’t cheap costumes either like they go all out.
breaks the expensive gift rule during christmas:
to be totally honest i feel like they both agree to one but neither of them keep to it. they’re both terrible at budgeting anyway being kids that grew up with money, not to mention that they both love spoiling each other. seriously holidays are an expensive deal with these two.
makes the other eat breakfast:
this is another both one. amelia reminds charlie to actually eat on a busy day and charlie brings amelia breakfast in bed whenever he can so. breakfast dates are also a very frequent thing especially at the start so the paps have plenty of pictures of them in that setting.
remembers anniversaries:
pretty big ones are remembered by both of them but charlie is incredibly good at remembering odd ones that shouldn’t even count as anniversaires like ‘hey it’s been three months since we went to that italian on the corner we should do something tonight’. he’s really trying to be better for her which really does just mean throwing himself in the deep end.
brings up having kids first:
wow this is a big one. i feel like this is an amelia thing, like maybe the two of them are talking about their upbringing and she’s just like ‘our kids are going to have it so much better’ and honestly charlie just kisses her there and then because the future is scary but he really wants one with her.
kills the bugs:
charlie does, although really he likes to take them outside where he can. just because they don’t bother him and killing them just feels a little unecessary.
first to define them as a couple:
they’re both commitmentphobes so this is a hard one. i feel like a really sweet way for it to happen though would be for charlie to be asked about her in an interview and whether she’s just another throw away fling and before he even really realises what he’s saying he’s like ‘no she’s my girlfriend’
who hides their guilty pleasures longer:
oddly i feel like this is charlie. it’s not even intentional he just is so used to hiding the sides of his personality that he thinks people wont like that it’s a whie before amelia sees him dancing around the kitchen to 80s music but trust me it does happen.
snorts while laughing:
listen i am fully aware that amelia has the prettiest laugh in the whole entire world, but there is this laugh she does specifically when charlie is teasing her and honestly he loves it so much because it’s just her being totally herself with him.
Tumblr media
callie & kieran
gives nose/forehead kisses:
this is such a callie thing, on the whole she’s the most affectionate of the two of them anyway, but she does this thing where she reminds him that she’s safe and she loves him by climbing into his lap and kissing just about every bit of skin that she can.
gets jealous the most:
without a doubt it’s kieran. especially while their relationship is still a secret. callie is gorgeous and people flirt with her constantly while kieran has to just stand there and listen to them which can be incredibly frustrating for him. to be honest i feel like cals notices and just teases further which just results in him pinning her against the wall about as soon as he can.
takes care of the other on sick days:
i feel like they both take incredibly good care of each other but cals has developed a really impressive talent of being able to get kieran to actually slow down when he’s ill. he listens to her in a way that he doesn’t anyone else, though i’m also certain that she barely leaves his side.
drags the other person out into the water on beach day:
this is totally cals again. She’s playful okay and has this way of making sure kieran lets off some steam, even if the watertight ends in a make out fest in the ocean.
brings the other lunch at work:
both of them. kieran runs to get cals food whenever she needs him to pretty much as part of his job anyway, but callie is really good at noticing when he hasn’t eaten too and sends him food often enough. the two of them just make a really good team ok.
tries to start role-playing in bed:
i feel like callie brings it up just to tease kieran okay, but i don’t really see it being their thing so we can say she’s not very successful. mainly because sex is such an intimate intense thing between them when they can really just focus on each other completely and kieran doesn’t wanna take away from that.
is an embarrassing drunk dancer:
please picture kieran who is hardly ever drunk anymore because he’s either on duty or just doesn’t really drink drunk dancing because i promise it’s a treat. especially with the way that callie giggles and then joins in.
firmly believes in couples costumes:
i mean they don’t really get to couples costumes for a while considering they’re trying to keep them a secret, but when they’re out publicly cals takes it for granted that their going to match because of course they would. the best year is when they’re cinderella and charming ok it just suits them.
breaks the expensive gift rule during christmas:
totally callie and not just because she has more money than kieran, but she genuinely really enjoys spoiling him. she brought him a beautiful watch for his birthday (that’s probably engraved with something incredibly personal on the back) and now he never takes it off.
makes the other eat breakfast:
kieran !! again the two of them are way more likely to listen to each other than anyone else so kieran makes sure that cals is taking care of herself. especially when they’re on tour and it’s so easy for her to get lost in everything that they have to do.
remembers anniversaries:
as much as they both tease each other neither of them are about to forget important anniversaries. they can’t always make the biggest fuss, especially when their hiding from the rest of the team, but they always find a to make it special for each other.
brings up having kids first:
i feel like it’s callie in the middle of a speech about the fact that she isn’t going anywhere. they both have lives that are incredibly transcient so i can see them being curious but it’s certainly kieran wants eventually wants callie has been able to really enjoy her career and settle down. it also means going public with their relationship so it’s a pretty important conversation.
kills the bugs:
kieran. i feel like cals objects to killing them, where as kieran just sees it as the quickest solution, especially because he really isn’t a fan of spiders and would quite like them to not be anywhere near him thanks.
first to define them as a couple:
it’s totally callie. please picture her describing him as her boyfriend to her friends and kieran choking on his drink because honestly given that they’re supposed to keeping what’s between them a secret, neither of them are very subtle, and really cals just loves to flirt with him.
who hides their guilty pleasures longer:
i’m not even sure that kieran has guilt pleasures, like he has things that certainly should be but he’s a pretty open book. callie meanwhile doesn’t necessarily hide things but it certainly takes him a little while to figure everything out about her. i love the idea of him teasing her for it tbh considering how often it’s usually the other way around.
snorts while laughing:
this is kieran, i don’t even really think he notices, but it’s just a really sweet image of callie teasing him for it as the nature of his job means that he’s mr serious nintey percent of the time. there’s such a specific side of him that on cals sees it’s really adorable.
Tumblr media
daniel & rae
gives nose/forehead kisses:
rae for sure. she’s so smitten with daniel, and we’ve already established they have their hands all over each other, but she loves kisses like that tbh just because they’re quick, intimate and reassuring. she likes to kiss his nose before a show, even when they’ve been all over each other a few minutes before.
gets jealous the most:
this is easily rae. it’s not that Daniel doesn’t get jealous he does, but are gets jealous far more often. it’s a well established fact that daniel can ignore attention from exactly no one. so rae often just pulls out the pda to make sure that other girls know to leave her boyfriend alone.
takes care of the other on sick days:
daniel is an idiot in many ways but he’s actually really good at taking care of rae when she’s ill or just hungover. we’re talking coffee and breakfast and snuggles, and probably hundreds of texts to the band group chat of ‘what the hell should i do????’ if things get bad.
drags the other person out into the water on beach day:
i feel like they don’t have to drag each other, it’s more like a race of who can get in the water first. especially if they’ve got a day off from tour. there’s lots of splashing and chasing each other and salty kisses. it’s actually really cute.
brings the other lunch at work:
ok but all i can think of is rae surprising the band with food at the studio, or her dragging daniel out of bed on tour long enough for them to go on a lunch date. it can be pretty tricky with his fans knowing where they are but they’ve learnt enough ways to sneak around.
tries to start role-playing in bed:
i feel like this would be something they talk about together, maybe rae brings it up as a joke but on the whole lets remember that they’re both terribly impatient with each other. unless rae dresses up as a joke for his birthday which she is totally not above doing.
is an embarrassing drunk dancer:
this is totally rae at a vagabond concert though. at first she’s self conscious and just focusing on photography but by the end of the tour she’s drunk, yelling about as loudly as she can and just enjoying the concert. she’s probably also incredibly flirty with daniel when she knows he’s looking at her.
firmly believes in couples costumes:
I can not be the only one that thinks vagabond go for group costumes whenever possible, probably also including maddie and julian. one halloween they were a big group of power rangers. short of that though i actually think it would be daniel mainly because he wants them to look as good as possible.
breaks the expensive gift rule during christmas:
listen it’s a widely accepted fact that daniel is a walking hot mess right but he’s incredibly good at knowing how to spoil rae and that matched with the fact that he has no impulse control means that they really shouldn’t have set a budget in the first place. it really is impressive the way that he always manages to get her something she loves.
makes the other eat breakfast:
this is totally rae especially if he’s had a big show the night before. she’s actually an impressive cook so she likes to surprise him with breakfast tbh.i can totally see the two of them eating it in bad because they’re both too lazy to move. though daniel tends to be the one to ring room se
remembers anniversaries:
it might seem a little surprising but this is such a daniel thing to do. like rae is stressed out and just busy but he just has this stuff just memorised. he probably makes a really grand romantic guesture that goes terribly wrong but honestly just give him a break he’s trying his best.
brings up having kids first:
neither of them ?? at the moment they’re both kids pretty much at the point, so if they do have a kid it’s gonna be an accidental pregnancy.
kills the bugs:
they both do tbh, although if it’s a wasp then you can bet that rae is going to run into a different room about as fast as her legs will carry her because who the hell decided to give those evil things wings.
first to define them as a couple:
okay this one is daniel and it’s super cute because honestly rae is too nervous to describe the two of them in case he doesn’t see her like that, but one of the band asks about their relationship and he just doesn’t even hesitate to describe her as his girlfriend because he thinks it’s obvious.
who hides their guilty pleasures longer:
i feel like this is rae. the two of them are so delicate at the start that she’s almost too timid to show that side of him at first, she does end up settling more tho, to the point that she can dance to taylor swift without fear.
snorts while laughing:
daniel does and it’s actually adorable. hot bad boy who has this giggle that you can really only here when mikey makes a bad joke or he’s messing about with his girlfriend.
Tumblr media
ariel & elijah
gives nose/forehead kisses:
to be honest it’s ariel. not all the time, usually she’ll just kiss him on the lips or this one specific spot on his neck, but if she has to say goodbye, or needs to cheer him up then it’s forehead or the nose. she can be incredibly physically affectionate when she wants to be and that’s something that’s heightened when she’s around eli.
gets jealous the most:
poor elijah tbfh. we know ariel is evil incarnate with this stuff, especially when they aren’t properly together. she’s also just flirty by personality so even later when they’re together he probably still gets jealous. she does also learn to pick up on his body language when it comes to stuff like this though and does her best to be reassuring.
takes care of the other on sick days:
listen elijah is such a sweetheart and is one of maybe three people ariel can really tolerate when she’s ill. she’s incredibly irritable but clingy when she’s sick. he has to call off going to the studio, no that he minds too much. if they’re apart because she’s on tour then lets be honest the band don’t even hesitate to phone him.
drags the other person out into the water on beach day:
i feel like when ariel sets her mind on something then there’s very little that elijah can do about it. even if that means running into the sea when it is simply not the weather for it. when it comes to being on holiday however these two don’t really hesitate to get into the water. ari does make eli carry her around though quite a bit.
brings the other lunch at work:
ok but this is the most eli thing to ever eli. he’s constantly taking care of ari to an extent that just takes her breath away tbh. bonus points if she’s been having a really bad day up until that point so he surprises her.
tries to start role-playing in bed:
oh god… ari??? ari. it’s not her best idea let’s be honest. as sexual as she can be, it’s that brutal honesty with each other which makes their dynamic work.
is an embarrassing drunk dancer:
can i say both of them?? i’m gonna say both of them. the image of the two of them wine drunk in the kitchen of their apartment dancing terribly to some old love song is really soft ok or on their festival trip just having the time of their lives because eli gives ari the confidence she needs to just be herself ok.
firmly believes in couples costumes:
this is totally elijah. ariel is not enthusiastic at first, but it’s actually really cute and she comes around to the idea. their most iconic costume is kim possible and ron stoppable fight me on this they’d be so cute.
breaks the expensive gift rule during christmas:
ari is just absolutely terrible for this. i think it’s in part due to the fact that she’s never really had anyone to spoil at christmas before, added to the fact that she’s still actually getting used to having money and hates being told what to do which means that she just gets what she wants to for eli no matter what the cost is.
makes the other eat breakfast:
i mean breakfast is ariel’s favourite meal, so having breakfast together is just a must for her. i think she actually really enjoys the fact that it’s quiet their attention is just fully on each other but even when they’re apart she’s sending him texts like ‘morning baby!! don’t forget to eat something before heading out for the day x’ as much as eli is her care taker, she also takes care of him to the best of her ability.
remembers anniversaries:
both of them do obviously, but eli always makes the bigger deal out of them. firstly because he had been completely 100 percent in this relationship from the very first kiss but later because the fact that they have stayed together this long is a miracle, and he really wants her to be certain that he’s so glad that she’s in his life.
brings up having kids first:
this is definitely eli. it’s also when ari is a little bit older and they’re a bit more settled. they’re curled up in bed, ariel most likely taking a break from being in the band when he just sort of blurts it out ??? idk we both know that he’s terrible at keeping things from her. he probably doesn’t even expect her to say yes but she does. she probably gets excited tbh.
kills the bugs:
this is ari. she hates bugs and just doesn’t hesitate. i feel like eli would be the one to take them outside. so that bugs fate really depends on who finds it.
first to define them as a couple:
totally eli. he probably says it in front more to chris at some award show and it scares the hell out of her. does she run off and do something stupid that night? you bet. probably finds herself going home with someone else just to try to maintain that sense of detachment. we’ve already plotted though that she calls him her boyfriend for the first time in front of a crowd of over a thousand people though so.
who hides their guilty pleasures longer:
neither of them. such a big reason why elijah doesn’t get simply discarded like all the boys that came before is that ariel is more of herself with him than she is with anyone else. eli meanwhile seems to be much more the type to just be honest about the things he enjoys.
snorts while laughing:
ok but this is such an adorable eli thing. please picture eli sat around with ari, harry and jen. him snorting at something harry said and ariel just looking at him like he’s her entire world because honestly it’s accurate.
Tumblr media
gwen & mikey.
gives nose/forehead kisses:
this is totally a gwen thing and mikey loves it. when he kisses her he tends to focus on her lips, but after waiting for so long to be together he really loves when she affectionate with him. though lets just be honest that pda is just a vagabond mood in general.
gets jealous the most:
alright so i think we’ve established that they both get jealous but mikey had a habit of actually showing it in his actions. especially when gwen is still with her ex, adam has to keep an eye on him just to make sure he doesn’t go and punch a hole
takes care of the other on sick days:
so here’s the thing mikey is terrible at taking care of himself at the best of times and that just get worse when he’s ill. so it really is all down to gwen here. luckily unlike 90% of the time mikey actually listens to her advice and just wants to be around his girlfriend which is difficult when he also doesn’t want to make her sick.
drags the other person out into the water on beach day:
i’m not sure there’s much dragging but mikey will fully pick gwen up and carry gwen into the water if she’s being cautious about getting too cold. these two adorable tho so he basically carries her the entire time and makes sure that she’s wrapped in a towel the moment she gets out the water. he just wants to look after his girl.
brings the other lunch at work:
neither of them. listen it’s not that they don’t but these two live in each other’s back pocket. so if they get lunch together rather than one bringing it to the other. what they do do though is get each other coffee and make sure to save each other post concert pizza if one of them is running late.
tries to start role-playing in bed:
listen these two make each other laugh constantly. so i feel like mikey suggests it and then they laugh for two whole hours because lets be honest mikey would be terrible.
is an embarrassing drunk dancer:
okay but this is mikey. everyone in the fandom knows it, and it’s actually terrible for him. there’s this one show they do where they’re past tipsy and adam and daniel calls mikey out from behind the drums and just… gwen’s boyfriend is a mess okay. for someone who does percussion he really has no rhythm when he’s had a drink.
firmly believes in couples costumes:
again matching with the vagabond vibe whole band costumes are a thing, but they’re both pretty up for it. listen i’m convinced they match even before their a couple ok. their most iconic look was antman and wasp okay.
breaks the expensive gift rule during christmas:
this is gwen ok. when they make a rule mikey sticks to it where as gwen just can’t help herself but spoil him a little bit. obviously mikey can’t complain but he does find it a little frustrating because he worries that he’s not doting on gwen the same way.
makes the other eat breakfast:
yells loudly: gwen! to be honest if mikey was given the chance he would sleep past noon so gwen probably has to drag him out of bed and force food into his hands to get him to function. mikey then kind of does the opposite for her making sure that she actually gets some sleep rather than just being awake all the time.
remembers anniversaries:
they both do, but i feel like mikey hangs onto the smaller anniversaries more, like someone needs to tell him that three and a half month anniversaries aren’t a thing.
brings up having kids first:
again right now??? neither. though i can totally see them having really adorable children in the future. even then it’s something that takes a lot of discussion between the two of them about how they’re going to fit a baby into their life.
kills the bugs:
like the majority of our musician babes these two live the majority of their lives living in hotel rooms so it’s not really a big deal but in theory it’s mikey even though he doesn’t like it at all, he’ll handle the spiders so gwen doesn’t have to and really that’s true love right there.
first to define them as a couple:
i feel like as much as mikey adores her i think it’s gwen. it’s not that mikey doesn’t adore her (really he does) just after everything he’s a little cautious. say he kind of waits for her to be comfortable. please imagine him kissing the hell out of her when he hears her say it though. 
who hides their guilty pleasures longer:
neither of them do. the two of them are in a band together and have known each other since they were teenagers so if they were still hiding something from each other it would have to be something more than just guilty pleasures tbh.
snorts while laughing:
that is such a mikey thing i love my son.seriously though mikey’s laugh has become a bit of fandom joke, something that only happens more as mikey and gwen figure stuff out and are just wrapped up in each other 100% of the time.
Tumblr media
mathew & reyna
gives nose/forehead kisses:
so reyna totally does this the most and it’s actually adorable. it’s something she does subconsciously when life gets busy and honestly mat adores it. the nose kisses are especially cute when you remember the height difference and realise she probably has to stand on her toes to do so.
gets jealous the most:
i’ve got to be honest mat can occasionally get jealous of reyna’s costars because they’re all incredibly good looking and spending time with his wife while they’re apart. luckily he just tends to mope a little bit, and feels better when he actually has her back in his arms again.
takes care of the other on sick days:
more often than not it’s mat. reyna obviously takes care of him when he’s ill but he has such a good immune system that it doesn’t happen very often. mat tries to be good at looking after her, and he’s certainly better than when they started dating but he still kind of has to be told what to do. he’s a mess.
drags the other person out into the water on beach day:
so this again is reyna. mat is such a dad i think he develops this ability just to focus on the kids and whether or not they’re having fun without any regard for himself. poor reyna has to take matters into her own hands a little bit, after all this is supposed to be a holiday for all of them, but really mat is grateful and really does have a good time when he has the chance
brings the other lunch at work:
so this is both of them. we already know that reyna has a habit of surprising him before games and that often involves bringing food and then whenever reyna is filming and they’re in the same state mat will usually check up on her at least once or twice. these two are incredibly good at supporting each other ok.
tries to start role-playing in bed:
oh man so this one is reyna, she probably read something about spicing up sex within your marriage. how far it actually works it is questionable, and mat may have pouted about the assumption their current sex was bad for like three hours.
is an embarrassing drunk dancer:
here me out on this one it’s reyna. mat doesn’t really drink right because he tries to take the best care of his body that he can, but reyna does it’s not a big deal. please picture mat picking up from a wrap party (that he couldn’t go with her to because of the two small children that are now asleep in the back of the car) but she’s tipsy and it’s just really soft and adorable when their song comes on and all reyna wants to do is dance.
firmly believes in couples costumes:
oh come on this is both of them. the internet adores them and they end up trending every year. a personal fave is the year they were mr. and mrs. incredible, or the time that they dressed up as each other.
brings up having kids first:
i feel like it’s a pretty constant source of conversation for both of them after they wanna get married especially with how chloe was a miracle baby. more recently though i feel like mat has been the most vocal about having another. he just loves being a dad and having a family is just everything to him okay.

Dear You
You said you liked me, you would constantly say it at the most random of times or that you missed me a girl you have never meant before and how could you possible miss me? but then you explained that you missed hearing my voice, it was relaxing to hear and being able to talk to someone tell them about your day and what bothered you and having that someone not reinsure you of anything but just be there to listen with no judgment. I felt so happy like an idiot for being able to hear that and for being that person for you to talk to but you were also that person for me. For 2 years we talked one year over the comment section of each others pictures on IG and here and there over the DMs of IG then in early 2016 we talked almost everyday over the DMs on IG  and then in late February you gave me your number we talked from then on texting and calling. Somewhere around March you already said you wanted to meet but i told you how impossible that was giving the distance between us but in December last year you brought up buying my plane ticket i told you how bad id feel about that because i know it wouldnt be cheap, you didnt bring it up again after that till sometime of this year in February and i wanted to meet you so bad that i agreed to it. So we planed for March but as time got closer for me to go to where you are there was still no message about a plane ticket i grew worried and upset and you never answered my calls or texts. It was the day i was supposed to go down there and nothing nothing from you i cried to my mom for hours so upset, 23 day pass its april now and i get a DM from you over IG like you couldnt really text or call you had to DM over IG like wtf but we talked about it and i shouldve brought up my concerns and what bothered me but i didnt because i didn want to fight i didnt want to argue and like you said "its not like we're together so who am i to say whats you can and cant do" you said you liked me and that you wouldnt mind pursuing more but not with out some sort of proof that i was interested in just you and not multiple people, my proof was facing my biggest fear just for you but i guess that wasn’t proof enough and everything before or after wasn’t either. you then said "again were not together but i dont think youre that interested in me if youre openly giving everyone the same attention " but we talked some more and we had things figures out but i shouldve brought up the fact that you were doing the same giving the same open attention to many other girls, i on the other was not giving that attention like you said i was it was just some 19yr old that left comments on my pictures and my only responses back were ever " thank you, lol, okay or hahah" but yours on girls pictures were stupid kissy heart eye emojis and comments like "damn girl look at you, so beautiful, so pretty, hot" and the list goes on but i bit my tongue because like you said we weren't together and i didnt want to seem i dont know possessive, i know now i shouldve spoke up. but you called the next day asking if we could start where we left off of and i asked with us talking or me coming down there and you said with me coming down there and that same night you bought the plane ticket and everything, there really was no going back and i was so excited that i couldnt sleep at all. I thought finally im going to meet this guy whos been nothing but nice and sweet to me, who ive had nothing but great conversations with where i could just be 100% me. but throughout all of april you still continued with commenting things on other girls pictures again i didnt want to start a fight before i came down there and i had planed to say something well i was there but i didnt want to start something because well id have no wheres to go and lord knows i have anger issues. We spend 4 days together i became sure that yeah i really like this person and maybe even love a little. but when i came home everything fell apart. 2 days go bye and i dont hear from you not even a single text but yet you're on social media multiple times throughout the day and commenting dumb shit AGAIN on girls pictures. we talk on saturday and i bring it up finally and you ask why it was an issue with the 19 yr old commenting what he did on my pictures and you said well its obvious and i said no tell me and you asked why and i said tell me why it was an issue and you said well because I LIKE YOU. so i said if you like me so much why are you commenting dumb shit on girls pictures over IG and you asked "who like you really dont know and i dont remember usernames and your excuse was "well the reason i was asking who is because its probably a client"and i asked "really come on now" and you continue with "well its my job their my client its my job to make them feel pretty or beautiful"like yeah thats youre job when their in you chair not for you to do over social media and like really is it normal for you to comment on your clients half naked pictures?? come on now get real. we end the conversation that night with you saying that wed talk about it more but we never did. sunday goes bye and monday comes around i didnt hear from you  but sometime during the day you unfollow me and i get confused more than ever. here you are or were telling me you like me and everything fly me down there to meet you spend that time together and for what what reason, what was the point! days go by i dont hear from you Thursday I tell you we need to talk something serious and you tried to make me feel stupid for it but you never called and you ignored my call we dont talk till Friday when i see you liking a whole bunch of these girls pictures on IG and i mean pictures from early 2016 and late 2015 like duuuude really and then i see theres a recent post from her and just so happened that in the video shes spinning around in a chair and i notice the background, its your room and then you walked in. I call you that night pissed off and you start off with a "hey!" like every things fine and dandy and continue to say "yeah sorry i havent talked to you in a while theres been a lot going on with work i ve been really busy and i could even lose my job" and i was like "oh so busy that yet you had time to be home during the day with a girl in your room" and again you go "well who" like as if you dont know just how many girls have you had over in your room since damn man. so i tell you the usuername because well this time i remembered it and you go "well let me look that up right now" like ohhhhhh COME ON! you know exactly who stop playing dumb and then you say "well we have mutual friends in common" i told you ones that havent ment her in person dont count and so you say "well my parents were home nothing happened" i told you i was there and your parents were home and shit happened so dont give me that and then its :well if it bothers you so much ill stop talking to her" i told you im not the kind of person who tells you who you can and can not talk to but it should be common sense of what your doing is going to bother me or piss me off because here you are or were telling me you like me and everything had me come down there and you sleep with me and all that and yet here you are doing this like really?!?! you say we'll talk about it but again we dont and im just left with more questions and im more upset and you clearly knew that you just didnt and dont care. Sunday i call and call and call because we have something to discuss we talk about it as much as we can and theres nothing that can be done about it that was clearly established. So again i bring up the other issues hoping to get those cleared up more and i ask what was the point of all this and where do i stand now but all you have to say is "well i just got home and i need to go inside ill talk to you more about this" an all i can say is "and then this happens, do you really get everything i just said do you understand" you said yes and i asked really because it seems like it just went right over your head and you said it didnt that we would talk about it. but guess what we never did and i never heard from you again. its been 2 months now since you ruined me and turned my world upside down. and im now wondering just how many other girls have you done this to, how sincere were you with all you said tome, did you even really like me or was i nothing more than a 4 day fuck?..you used me. and yet i cant forget any of it, i wish i could be like you and just forget it all and forget a person like they dont exist as if it never happened. but i cant and it hurts so much to know that i cant erase you from me or my memory and i just want to go back and never agree to it to meeting you not if i knew id end up hurt again after so many years of keeping myself shut up from the world of dating or feelings and i thought i could let down my guard and allow myself to fall again and to think that a guy i told all that to that knew of how i was treated before and everything to a guy who treated me like no other who took me on my first date and i know i shouldve listened to my family i shouldve seen the signs but i thought it would all be okay but i didnt just get a life lesson or burned in the "world of love" i got something far worse. and you continue on like every things fine...im upset with me and im most of all upset with how you handled this. you thought by ignoring or avoiding me that it will go away but it wont and youve only made it worse. I just dont understand why you couldnt be the adult that you so claim to be or to be a man and just fucking be vocal about things like i told you from the very start, why couldnt you just say something like "hey you know it was great meeting you but i dont like you like i thought i did" or something, you think by ignoring or avoiding someone and playing victim that people will get the hint or that it will solve everything but it wont and it doesnt it just makes you a coward and childish. and i cant believe that after everything youve done and put me through with how youve treated me that theres a part of me that still likes you when i should hate you with everything i am but unfortunately it takes more effort to hate then it does to like and you cant just go to hating someone with the snap of your finger it unfortunately doesnt work like that...trust me ive tried.
