Eddie: This person asked what’s the worst thing about you, babe
Steve: Oh, let me guess. You said my clothes? My taste in music?
Eddie: Nope. I said that you’re perfect and I love every ounce of you
Steve: …That’s actually really sw-
Eddie: Except your ass
Steve:
Steve: *offended*
Eddie: It’s very distracting. And I have ADHD. Think of all the songs that I could have written if not for your ass.
Eddie, laughing when Steve gets up and huffs out the room: Hate to see you go, love to watch you walk away, baby!
Steve, from a distance: I’m getting a cup of water to throw at you!!
Jeff reposts the Tiktok to his Twitter account with a picture from tour of Steve doing squats on the bus, shirtless and in his underwear because their AC was faulty and it was summer. In the background, Eddie and Gareth are clearly watching him. He captioned it: The ass that derailed dozens of band practices.

not to harp back to a few days ago but the whole "taking phone calls in public/loud music in public/playing music and videos outloud in public is rude etc. (the list could go on)" argument is not only absurd,
(not all public spaces are going to be silent its is unrealistic, outside cannot cater to every single person as everybody has different needs, but this is not me dismissing there are concerns for people who may have sensory 'issues' or may be bothered by loud sounds)
but has ties to racism and classism, especially considering that many nonblack and white people call the police about "noise complaints" on black and brown people and poor people because the music being played at a party is 'too loud' or music from a car is being played 'too loud', which leads to them getting arrested or killed.
It also has links to gentrification, it is known that people who do complain about a community being too loud are clearly not familiar with the cultures in that area and that loud noise being a nuisance is a clear sign you are coming into a culture that isn't yours
anyway i think some of you need to read the article linked because the influx of these types of arguments is concerning.

imagine being 21, like freshly 21, at the end of 2020 or really early 2021, and you're hoping the pandemic is ending. you've played the drums since like second grade and you're pretty good so you list yourself on fivrr 'cause people need a drummer sometimes for any number of reasons. and you take a gig for some little pandemic band to do studio drums for the EP they're trying to record. And after the first session one of them is like "hey you're actually a really good drummer, instead of us paying you would you like to just join the band?" and like, sure that sounds super cool, and their music's good, so you do. and then two years later you've got a top 10 EP and are being featured in fucking rolling stone. At the ripe age of 23.
i'm just saying, Mark Boardman's life is fucking insane, dude.

Random Band!Mizu hc
Her Bass
This bitch plays bass change my mind
She played acoustic guitar first but liked the way electric bass sounded more
Her bass was a hammy down from Eiji
He taught her a little but told her "if you do not learn from your mistakes, you have learned nothing" and left her to it
She started when she was 14 and the first day she played after 15 minutes she yelled "I GIVE UP!"
Then the next day she played again
Then did the same thing
Over time she got really good at it but she played differently then others because she had no help involved and learned what was best for her
She snapped one of her strings once and thought she broke the whole thing. She didn't even know they COULD break
She ran to Eiji having a whole break down and he just laugh
She got it fixed and felt like a dumbass
Her bass is this matt navy blue color and has a Japanese wave design strap.
Reference ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The Band
She joined after meeting Ringo. He saw her bass in the corner of her room and bombarded her with questions and if she would join his band. She was anxious but said sure
But her first practice when she saw Taigen she wanted to break her bass over his fat ass forehead
Taigen is lead guitar
Ringo is lead drummer and side singer
Akemi is lead singer and plays the piano in some songs
First practice she spent it learning from Taigen which was super fun to watch
"So then it's a E string-" "Taigen for the last fucking time I play bass you idiot" "WELL I DONT OK GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!"
Akemi record so many fights between them its insane. She could ruin both their careers if she wanted to
She HATES being in the spotlight and thank God Akemi and Taigen take it.
She never liked being seen and normal stands near Ringo, away from the light.
And yet people still make edits of her
First time they played was for one of Akemis friends, birthday
Taigen got drunk before hand and almost ruined everything but some how it went well
Mizu dragged his shit after
Band members
Ringo
He has special prosthetics for his drum sticks so he can easily snap them in. He uses thicker drum sticks so they fit better
His drums are a mix of things friends gave him and his first drum kit. He likes the different colors of his drums, he uses the symbols from his first kit because he likes the sound more then new symbols
Akemi
She plays a shit ton of things that her father wanted her to play, but when she was alone she learned she could sing
Her dad HATES that she's in a band that isn't basic. But Suki always supports her
She has a more higher pitch voice a bit like younger Billie Eilish but she sings like Lacey Sturm from flyleaf ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Taigen
He learned on acoustic first like mizu but he stuck to it
He started playing when he was 12 after finding his grandpa's old guitar in his garage and kept it ever since
Although he prefers acoustic, he plays electric for the band
His acoustic is this basic beaten tan colored guitar with old strings and a basic strap
His electric is this gorgeous shiny sage green color with a dark green strap
Reference ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I disappeared again guys mb
Also if you guys want a bass player! Mizu x reader just ask and we'll see what happens 👍
