#he’s so louuuuud

[kowaindar0u]

//

Can't sleep cause it's storming and hailing and it's louuuuud (and bright lol)

So naturally I'm thinking about this kind of severe weather at yuichi's honmaru 🤔

like obvious it rains... a lot, and regular thunderstorms are common

But I like to imagine perhaps during particularly bad storms everyone huddles into a central area both for safety and to just... Be comforted with each other 😭 perhaps it's underground so they can all sleep without the Ridiculous noise of hail (and like... I don't imagine there being tornados but the honmaru is sort of a pocket dimension (?) right? So who knows lol

Also you KNOW after a hailstorm there's gonna be toudans running around throwing the hail at each other lol

Also Yuichi can often be found with his doors open, on the engawa, or sometimes even on the roof just enjoying the downpour lol

Since he attributes the constant rain to matching the constant chunk of gloominess in his own being (I always liked the idea that honmarus also sort of manifest from the saniwa/their essence(?)), he tends to feel extra guilty (and a bit embarrassed/ashamed) about it being so present for everyone there, and it causing problems 😔

But sometimes he enjoys the rain and finds it refreshing and invigorating...

And any time he sees his touken danshi enjoying the rain, whether it be simply watching it or going out to play in it, it makes his heart happy

Then of course he remembers they are all probably deficient in vitamin D and is like damn

Actually yes I think between Yuichi, yagen, all the swords who help in the kitchen, and the...repair-ers? Smiths? (Honestly the smithing in-citadel confuses me a little), I think they would (or will learn to in time) have measures in place to try and compensate-- lots of vitamin D foods, making sure everyone has check-ins for their emotional/physical well-being ... Stuff they would do anyway I suppose but just checking more specifically

Honestly thank goodness there's plenty of pretty trees and flowers, it helps things not look quite so drab in the rain since there is no shortage of greenery and other colors

AGH i'm eepy but maybe I'll think more tomorrow

220826 Seventeen in Chicago

My ears still hurt

I bought a ticket literally at 4:30pm lol I was getting worried I wasn’t going to make it. $115 for section 106 row 12 which I’m really happy about. I hate doing that to a fan (would rather do that to a scalper but they weren’t dropping the prices). So I ate dinner and went on my way. I’m going to be honest I 100% went to see Mansae, the one song I was waiting for in 2020. I haven’t listened to their last ~3 releases so I listened through the setlist a few times. I brought the bootleg fan I bought in 2020 again haha.

The seat was pretty good! If I was there for a basketball game it would be amazing. The main stage was def too far but the extended stage I could see them ok (not their faces). But I was dead center it was cool to watch from that angle. Esp with their dancing! The person next to me was the jfan that sold me the ticket and she was louuuuud haha. Quote of the night is “Wonwoo ikemen!”

This is my third time seeing them but the first time with all 13  ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ  3 of them mentioned that they noticed the venue was more full than last time (Joshua, Seungkwan, and ...? I was able to remember this morning but I already forgot). Hoshi kept calling himself “Hoshicago” lol. 

I knew both of the performance unit songs (Moonwalker and Wave), they always have my fave songs.

During the dance battle, they asked a fan who was wearing an alien costume to dance and Woozi was literally on the floor laughing. And Mingyu and Seungkwan imitated her costume. 

If last time I fell for Jeonghan then this time it was Dokyeom lol he was looking gooood. After only going to small venue concerts for a while (this is why I forgot the earplugs) it was kind of nice to see a large-scale concert again. I wasn’t expecting pyrotechnics. I was literally so happy to see Mansae. I’m glad I could keep up my streak of seeing them every time they come here. They always put on a good show so even if I don’t keep up with them often it’s worth it. It was nice to bounce around! Getting home from the United Center can be rough though.

[moons-and-stars-and-shit]

Oh my god, your matchups are open!! I would love to request one for a Haikyuu bf. I’m a gemini and pretty energetic. I’ll talk to anyone but have a bad temper when someone hurts me or someone I care about. I’ll defend my friends to the death. I am 5’7” so kind of tall. I have pale skin with freckles and grey eyes. I talk a lot. I’m loyal and scared of those who aren’t.

🍰 for @xeno-fond

Romantic Matchup...

Tanaka Ryūnosuke

Oml this mans right here is you #1 supporter

Like he will take your side on everything

Whether your wrong

Whether your right

It does not matter to him!

If your ever telling someone off he’s right behind you

“Tell em babe!”

“Oh hell yeah that’s my gf right there!”

And if the other person dares to try to insult you

That’s when he gets involved

“Wanna say that again punk!”

You get the gist

Oh boy you wanted someone loyal

This boy is LOYAL

Like there was a point where Kiyoko was trying to talk to him and he was just like

“Sorry Kiyoko I have a gf now 😔✊”

You then had to explained him that it was still ok for him to talk to Kiyoko

He’s so happy that you can match his energy!

The team isn’t... but who cares what they think!

Jkjk they’re happy Tanaka found someone

But y’all are just so louuuuud together

But they see how happy Tanaka is with you so they just suck it up 🤐

You guys talk like ALL the time

It doesn’t matter what’s it about

Y’all just are always talking about something

And honestly the convos get HYPED

Quotes from your convos include

“Yessss pop off king 👑 “

“I- HE DID NOT I CANT-“

“OMG FOR REAL!”

“Ok but like...did you lie though”

Yeah you guys also like to throw in random TikTok lines if you can

Overall a really sturdy and reliable relationship

Friendship Matchup...

Atsumu Miya

Ok so you guys met at one of his games

He was about to do his serve

You know the 😠🖐✊ serve...

Where everyone needs to be quiet...

Yeah you didn’t really get the memo so you just kept talking

Not even loud talking

But talking nonetheless

And we know what happens when you do that

And unfortunately for you right after he served they called a timeout

So he came up to you and said

Atsumu: “Hey I get that your obnoxiously loud,but can you at least shut yer trap during my serve”

You in your mind: 🙂 now I know this crusty lookin Barry B Benson Sangwoo wannabe did not just say that to me

You: Well hello there I get that your selfish and inconsiderate of other peoples feelings but if you EVER talk to me like that again I will personally kill you, revive you, just so I can beat your ass 😐

Yeah... dramatic first meeting

He ended up apologizing to you after the game cause he was kinda scared of you he felt bad

And as a last ditch attempt to get on your good side, he invited you to lunch with him and his team

Y’all really just hit it off after that and became really good friends!

After his first meeting with you he gained a really high respect for you

And it’s weird how he acts around others vs how he acts with you

Like he could be insulting his brother then you walk in and all of the sudden it’s “oh hey y/n how are you 😇”

He doesn’t mind that you talk a lot

Hell he’s a chatterbox himself

So your guy’s conversations tend to get a little long

He is a loyal friend half because again you low-key scare him but the other half is because he really enjoys your company

He feels like your the only one who can keep him grounded

And he really likes how you don’t take anyone’s shit

Not even his

The stars say this is a perfect match for a friendship!

Atsumu is a Libra which should work great since your a Gemini

So you can always count on fun times with you two

You guys had a rocky start to your relationship but it was able to grow into what could be a lifelong friendship

(most of) the lyrics for I’ll Do The Best That I Can Do and Party Back At My House

(“???” Are things i couldn’t figure out unfortunately)

I’ll Do The Best That I Can Do:

Check, Check

(Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh)

Hangin out in my desert town sayin’ “woah, where’s everybody gone?”

Sometimes turn on the television but it never gives me what I want

When monsters come I betcha I wont run cause at least I got a part of a plan

(Ooh, Ooh,)

I’ll do the best that I can

(Hope that’s enough!)

Yeah, hangin out in my desert town gettin dizzy oh but we don't care

It don't matter if your ??? ??? just wave it around in the air

Oh my speech is funny and my nose is runny and I don't know what to do with my hands

(Ooh, Ooh,)

I’ll do the best that I can

(Oh,Oh! WAAAOOOOOH!!)

(Instrumental)

(Ooh, Ooh)

Ill do the best that I can,

I can,

Trust me!

Party Back At My House:

Oh yeah, Alright, Come on everybody! Listen up!

Old man river he’s a rollin’ along, happy all by himself

But you and me baby? We like a good time, with my friends, your friends, and everyone else!

So I’m pickin’ up my telephone, (Who ya callin up?) Callin’ everybody I know, (Whatcha gonna say?) I said HEY, that’s right, what ya’ll doin tonight?

Ready steady, real loud, party back at my house!

(Instrumental)

No need to get guzzied up baby, leave that all on the shelf, Cause there ain’t no dress code long as you can roll with it, Honey just bring yourself!

Now I’m pickin’ up my telephone, (Who ya callin up?) Callin’ everybody I know, (Whatcha gonna say?) I said HEY, that’s right, what ya’ll doin tonight?

Ready steady, real loud, party back at my house!

[oikaw-ugh]

asdfghjkl. Tysm for letting me send a request, Leia! You are so sweet! ❤ Hmm so about me, I'm an introvert and prefer to stay at home all the time. Apart from watching anime and reading a lot of stuff, I also like to listen to music mostly Japanese songs these days and playing gacha games 😅. Lastly, I have a 5 year old pug who is as lazy as its owner. Idk if this is enough but thank you again ❤

Hello, Ate Nich! And you're very much welcome! I love our convos they make me feel so old (in a good way. Like matured-) HEHEHEHEH I Hope I don't disappoint you with this!

I match you with...

Lev Haiba!

Kuroo's face is an everyday face

Chose Lev mainly because you seem so grounded? And matured? And Lev is SOOOO childish. The possibilities of this dynamics is insane!

We all know how Lev is to everyone, right?

He's soooo extroverted I actually feel Kenma's pain :((

N e ways! I feel like the first time you both see each other is at uni. But don't get me wrong, you're not friends with Lev. You're friends w/ Kuroo. And you're a year younger than the two.

And like, the first time Lev saw you is probably when you greeted Kuroo at the hallways.

Kuroo: Oh. This is Nich. A friend.

The extroverted that he is, he immediately bombarded you with his questions and random stories that you surprisingly listened to.

Lev when he noticed how you're actually listening to him because he got so used with Nekoma team laughing or disregarding him (ehem-Kenma-ehem-Yaku): 🥺🥺🥺

And I feel like the moment you speak your mind? Lev is blown away!

'Cause you seem so wise and Lev is in awe.

It's like he's younger than you thinking-wise.

Lev: Are you...a goddess?

You: No, Lev-san. I'm Nich.

Lev falling for you is like how a child is if in love.

He loves to boast around you, to impress you, and he does 'things' to make him seem 'cool'.

Lev: Nich! I aced the quiz at my last subject this morning!

You: That's great, Lev-san!

Lev: 🥺

Lev: Nich, let me uncap that for you! *Uncaps your water*

You: ᴵ ʷᵃˢⁿ'ᵗ ᵖˡᵃⁿⁿᶦⁿᵍ ᵒⁿ ᵈʳᶦⁿᵏᶦⁿᵍ

He wants to be with you all the time, which is almost impossible because you're both v busy.

Lev: Nich, where are you going?

You: Oh, to the Lib with my friends.

Lev: L-Let me come with you!

You: ???? But you have classes, right?

Lev: 👁️👄👁️

He also loves it when you're so kind to him? The genuine gentleness? What is that???

I SWEAR HE MELTS WITH EVERY LITTLE THING YOU DO

You: Lev-san, it's already lunch time. Have you eaten?

You: Lev-san, that's so funny!

You: Oh, what you said actually makes sense, Lev-san.

You: Thank you, Lev-san.

Lev: ᵂᶦˡˡ ᵘ ᵐᵃʳʳʸ ᵐᵉ

Truth to be told, Lev was oblivious of his affection for you.

All he knows is that he loves talking to you because he loves your mind and he loves how your words lift him up.

Well, that's what he thought.

When Kuroo asked if something is going on between you two, Lev was completely off guard.

Lev: Kuroo-san! I-we-nich-were uh...

You: That's crazy, Kuroo-san. Lev-san is like a brother to me.

Lev: 😳

He hated that.

And that's where it starts. He loves how you ruffle his hair but he hates the words that come along with it.

You: You're so cool, Lev-san.

If it's possible to feel uwu and mad at the same time, then that's what Lev is feeling.

The stupid honorific (san) makes him remember how you only think of him as a brother!!!

At first, he kind of brushed it off. But he's had enough it actually drove him to confessing out of the blue.

You: Oh, Lev-

Lev who just appeared in front of you at the library: Don't call me Lev-san! I'm not your brother. I like you, Nich.

Alexa, play RADWIMPS' Sparkle!

Dating is so chaotic.

Most of the days, you're lazy. But Lev is so extroverted he wants to go out with you ALMOST ALL THE TIME.

Lev at your door: Hello, Nich!

You w/ your bed hair: Lev, it's 7 AM.

Lev: I just taught it'd be nice to go to the theme park with you now...

You: 👁️👄👁️ Lev, it's still 7 AM-

Lev learned it in a hard way that it is, most of the time, impossible to pull you out of your house so he settles with domestic dates.

Nothing fancy, really. Prolly just you two chilling at the room. Like, you reading on the end of the couch while Lev curls himself up at the other end, scanning his phone while his legs playfully push yours and stuff.

You: Lev, stop it.

Lev: c: *kicks you still anyway*

And I can imagine the two of you blasting Japanese songs. Just loud enough for you to hear and low enough that you wouldn't be disturbing the neighbors.

When you watch anime, just imagine the giant laying on the bed and you literally hugging him like a tree.

Like, your head fitting at his chest while you both watch at the screen??? HSJSJSJJS (excuse me i rlly love it i can picture it happening)

And like, he's so LOUUUUUD! He always has something to say in every scene!

He screamed even though the MCs are literally just hugging each other

But when you speak though, he goes silent. Mainly because he loves your voice and also because he lovesyour thoughts.

Lev: THIS IS SO-

You: But for me though...

Lev: *seals lips*

The closest to cuddling is just hugging...

Because the moment you go beyond that, your cutie doggo butts in!

Doggo: i see u i dun approve

Your pug is so cute btw 🥺

Your pug was so intimidated by Lev when they first met, your pug actually tried to protect you even though ur doggo is so lazy!

But Lev was able to get your doggo's approval though when he brought you two to a dog's park.

When you have dates outside, I see you two visiting bookshops? Because you love to read.

And Lev is a simp so he gives in to everything you want.

Like, the look on his face when he sees you light up when you two pass by at a bookstore? He loves it.

Or like, you two are just walking then you kind of pause and stare at a shop, he's like:

Lev: Do you want to go in?

You: Uh, no, I was just-

Lev: Let's go!

You: Wait-

Cinemas and fancy restaurants are a thing. Coffee shops/milk tea shops, too. But I think you two fight when it comes to paying.

Lev insists he pays for you two but you're like.

Nich: Lev, let's split the bill.

Lev: No, Nich. It's okay.

Nich: Lev *glare*

Lev: 😳

Fights...

ABSOLUTELY!

Lev can just be...too much sometimes.

Like, he insists you two go out somewhere, he insist he does this for you and stuff.

"Nich, lemme do that!" "Nich, I'll do it instead." "Nich, it's on me."

And it just not feels good when he tries to be the only one balancing the relationship?

Nich: Lev, I'm here too!

And he thinks that it's offensive and like you don't trust him? Which is not the case!

IT'S MISCOMMUNICATION U 2 >=[[[

You're the more patient one in the relationship so you try to explain it to him?

But with how hardheaded Lev is? Nah. It doesn't reach his ears :((((

But give it a couple of days, or hours. Just let Lev sink the situation in, and he'd eventually understand that he did wrong and all

After his realization, expect him to suddenly pop wherever you are, with this cute look on his face while he brings with him a gift.

Dog food? A book? A cute notebook? Anything.

Lev: Nich, I'm sorry 🥺

And that just melts your heart? You happily accept him and his gift. You just hug him like, for a couple of minutes before you two settle down as you try to explain what he did wrong and THIS TIME, he listens.

HELLO, ATE NICH!!!! I Hope you like this!!! *Fingers crossed* I hope this is close to accuracy 🥺

Got relationship hc for Arthur and joker?

I do now! NSFW under the cut.

Arthur SFW

He would be super tentative at first, not sure why anyone would want to give him the time of day let alone be interested in him romantically. 

This leads to lots of laughing fits but you help him through them and reassure him that he won’t scare you away.

Lots of forehead, hand, cheek etc kisses. 

Wants to be close to you as much as possible but won’t admit it.

Loves having his hair played with (bonus points if he’s laying with his head in your lap)

He loves doing domestic tasks with you, just tidying up the flat or making coffee. 

Long talks late at night about anything and everything when he can’t sleep.

Puppy dog eyes when he wants something

Joker SFW

There is never a boring day with Joker, he always manages to find fun in the little things. 

He loves to treat you, buying you little gifts or giving you a massage when you’re tired from work.

Long passionate kisses which often leave your face covered in his makeup.

You help him redye his hair when it starts to fade. 

Joker loves to dance with you and you often play the fool in the living room, or if you’re tired you slow dance and talk about your days.

So much sarcasm and sass!!!

Very possessive of you, but he knows your boundaries. He wants you to know that you belong to him and you are fine with that!

He often leaves you notes around the flat when he is out causing chaos.

Arthur NSFW

Sex with Arthur is always loving, every touch is careful and gentle. He doesn’t want to hurt you and he always makes sure you’re comfortable. 

He loves to go down on you!!!! He gets so much of his pleasure from seeing you enjoying yourself.

He’s quiet in the bedroom, lots of hushed moans and utterances of your name over and over.

Sex with Arthur is quite vanilla but that doesn’t mean it’s boring. Neither of you feel the need to over complicate things, you just want to be close to each other and show your affection in the most intimate way. 

You often shower together, which leads to him fucking you against the shower wall. 

Joker NSFW 

Joker dominates you in the bedroom, loving the power he has over you as he watches your face contort in pleasure. 

He loves it when you call him sir, or daddy. Almost animistic type groans leaving his lips when you do. 

He leaves you hickeys and bite marks everywhere, he wants you to walk around when he’s not there knowing that you’re his. 

On the rare occasions you do top him, he ends up gripping your hips and fucking up into you. Not letting you have all the power.

Joker is louuuuud. He makes no attempts to keep quiet and you love it. Despite him being very dominant, it leaves you under no doubt that he is enjoying himself as much as you are.

[lokiondisneyplus]

Today I left the house wearing a face mask for the first time.

I had woken up to the sound of heavy rain, which is always surreal in Los Angeles, and when I look out of the window to the hauntingly dehumanising sight of bandana-clad dog walkers, an eerie weight settles as I remember: this is our reality now.

I’m standing in the supermarket queue, a line dotted by crosses taped on the floor of the underground car park to signify our designated 6ft distance. Easily 50 people long and snaking around the perimeter of the building, I make my way to the last available X-marks-the-spot and join the other masked Bandits. I haven’t food shopped for over a week and am in need of supplies.

There is an obnoxiously loud man two crosses ahead of me ranting into his phone with such a high energy, the surrounding Bandits have allowed an extended social distance of a cross on either side of him. I sigh, remembering I’ve left my headphones at home, so am unable to tune him out, I wait and exhale, wondering how I am going to get used to the claustrophobic sensation of hot air and fabric condensing on my face.

Loud Phone Man is not wearing a mask and it's clear we’ve passed the tipping point of mild judgement, at least here in LA, where Bandits exchange a raised eyebrow, (about the only non-verbal Bandit communication available) which somehow magnifies the annoyance of this shopper - not only loud, but breathing indiscriminately all over us in this confined space… what does he think this is? Last week??

It’s Monday on #Week4 of Covid-19 lockdown in La La Land and as I shuffle to the next X I reflect on the journey so far.

After a whirlwind press tour to promote the release of Misbehaviour in UK cinemas (sadly cinemas were shuttered just days after the film's theatrical release – but it's available to watch online at home from April 15th!) I returned to work in Atlanta for Loki, the Marvel limited series for Disney Plus I’ve been working on, so am on set when I get the news that we are going on hiatus as a precaution due to the accelerating coronavirus, initially for one week. Thinking it would be longer, but still unsure at that point, I book a flight to LA to sit things out there for the time being. The next day Trump imposes a travel ban on travelling in or out of the US for 30 days, and with my visa situation and the pace at which everything is moving, it feels risky to fly to the UK in case I cannot get back into the country when filming recommences, whenever that will be.

So, with my housemate and her dog for company, we embark on social distancing, self-isolation and Lady Macbeth-level hand-washing.

Managing a constant low-level anxiety about my parents and loved ones, and friends in New York, London, Johannesburg and all over the world, I become consumed by the news, glued to the BBC website and KCRW talk radio for the latest figures. Like families gathered around “the wireless” in wartime, everything is unfolding so rapidly and the news, never this dramatic in my lifetime, takes on disaster-movie proportions.

FaceTime and WhatsApp become my lifelines as the reality of the pandemic is tinged with a weird detachment… a numbness I later realise was a form of shock that lasts for nearly two weeks and puts me into a hyper-focused state as I race to keep up, stay informed and learn how to adapt to this new rhythm.

I am of course aware that I am so privileged to be safe and personally unaffected thus far, but grasping the truth from what is overblown, and fact from politics and propaganda, give everything an out-of-body zero gravity quality; a new normal we are all united in.

Things are kicking off in the food line as my attention is caught by an exasperated Valley Girl three Xs ahead who finally explodes at Loud Phone Man, “ OH MY GAAAAD, USE YOUR INSIDE VOICE, CANT YOU SEEEEE EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT YOU CAUSE YOU’RE TALKING SO LOUD… WE ALL HAVE TO STAND HERE, OHMYGAAAD!” As she stomps her Ugged feet to the next X the security guard and smiling store employee (no mask) approach and I can feel a repressed inside-voice-cheer emanate from the rest of the line in applause.

The Bandit Couple ahead of me raise another eyebrow in solidarity and Female Bandit begins to capture a video of Loud Phone Man on her iPhone. The air gets thin, the energy tightens, “Hey Man,” Smiling Store Employee intercepts, Security guard flanking, “You wanna keep it down a bit, people are stressed, y’know? Thanks Man.” Valley Girl scowls, Bandit couple exchange glances, while still filming, Loud Phone Man defends, “I WASN’T EVEN TALKING THAT LOUUUUUD!!!” (Collective Bandit eyeroll) “YESSSSS YOU WERE!!!” Hisses Valley Girl, “Yeah Man, sorry you were,” Store Employee placates. taking the referee stance. I notice Loud Phone Man is wearing flip-flops, on a rainy day. He continues his conversation into his device, phone held to his lips, like a dictaphone, barely any quieter. “We have to be prepared…”

I sigh and feel warm breath on my cheeks. Mouth drying I look at my phone for escape and see that Boris Johnson has been admitted into intensive care for persistent and worsening Covid-19 symptoms. I suddenly feel very far from home and very sad.

I remember the things I’ve been doing to keep grounded and my spirits up. One of the benefits of turning out old cupboards was rediscovering my long dormant art materials. Painting, such an absorbing and transporting activity for me in childhood, was once something I considered doing instead of acting, but found it a little socially isolating - so acting won because it felt more collaborative. Now, of course, painting in isolation is perfect and becomes the most comforting of pastimes and a creative channel as I make images of my family and feel like I am spending time with them.

Understanding how superfluous actors are in a crisis such as this, I come to terms with the fact that staying at home, as passive as it may seem, is my contribution for now. Having the luxury of not having to home-school any children and knowing my work is pretty much on pause until social distancing recedes, I try to reframe this time as a chance to rest and refill the creative well. I read novels for pleasure, something I rarely find time for beyond work-related reads. I take my first Zoom yoga class (alexdawsonyoga.com), I join a 21-day online meditation experience (chopracentermediation.com), I take local hikes for fresh air and make first ever batches of banana bread and chicken soup. I even buy a mini trampoline online which, after a mildly challenging self-assembly, I’ve been sweating it out on to streamed classes online (lekfit.com) with a friend in Toronto, followed by accountability FaceTime coffee dates to virtually high five!

By the end of week two, the adrenalin crash truly hits and I’m exhausted from the constant rhythm shifting, news consumption and uncertainty. I’m an eternal optimist and good at self-motivating, but even when you’re Keeping Calm and Carrying on, you need to crash at some point. I nearly cry when I get my mum an Ocado food delivery slot - nothing has been available for weeks - and the “what ifs” that I have been keeping at bay with all my other activities release with relief and gratitude.

That’s when I discover Brené Brown’s new podcast Unlocking Us and find such solace in her calm and thoroughly researched words and conversations. Since her TED talk fame as a charismatic shame and vulnerability researcher, I’ve read all of her books and there is always something practical and nourishing in her work, told with humour and in a deeply relatable way - which I’ve found comfort in while in the midst of folding laundry, cleaning the bath or chopping vegetables.

Back in the food line and things are moving; the tension of the Loud Phone Man Vs Valley Girl dispute still simmers but everyone relaxes as they get closer to the front-door finish line. Smiling Store Employee does his speech on the new system: no reusable bags allowed, sanitised trollies and a one-way system in the aisles inside marked by arrows on the floor, to minimise contact with other customers. It all feels so surreal and regimented, but the Bandits, already drained from the 30-minute wait, constant Loud Phone Man soundtrack, near car park fight and everything else they’re all adjusting to, nod wearily behind their moist makeshift masks. It’s a bizarre sight.

Still chatting, Loud Phone Man makes it in and there’s a collective “phew” eye-contact exchanged between Smiling Store Employee and the remaining Bandits. Then his smile drops and crinkles for a second. “Yeah, he’s been in every day this week. It’s kinda sad. There’s no one on the phone.” The Bandits' brows knot quizzically. “Yeah, I think he has mental health issues, he just talks but the phone’s not on and he has no ear pieces, he just talks into it… 'They’re coming, we have to be prepared.'… I don’t know what to do.”

The reality breaks my heart. It seems to highlight the collective insanity we’ve all been processing and in that moment I just feel so frustrated at the state of the world and how this pandemic has exposed so many cracks in our society - from mental health to healthcare to privilege and poverty, everything just feels so raw.

I try to look for the silver linings and, among all the fear and anxiety and loss, I’ve been so inspired by human resilience, adaptability and creativity. I’m hopeful this great pandemic leveller will bring a new era of authenticity. An opportunity to shift mentality from Me to We.

Week three in self-isolation felt almost normal, which feels weird to admit. I’m getting lots of sleep and take regular meditative baths, which I’ve renamed Home Spa. I’ve found ways to safely contribute in my local community. When the shelves were bare from panic buying, I chatted with the manager of our local grocery store, who seemed so overwhelmed, so my housemate and I volunteered to stack shelves after hours. Although not exactly the front lines, we have fun and it feels good to give something back in our small way.

We of course negotiated to be paid in baked beans and toilet paper.

Jonghyun laughed at us because we all got scared by the confettis that blow during the song hahah

Jonghyun was sooooo cute ♡ When he won his face was so suprised and soooo happy ㅠㅠㅠ

During the whole encore he was smiling soooo hard ㅠㅠㅠ

When the MC came on stage she showed Jonghyun all the shawols and he nodded happily ㅠㅠㅠ We'll always be there!

During the perf when the confettis arrive we could hear the sound but we didn't have them but Jonghyun got surprised and looked up ㅋㅋㅋ

The dancers threw confettis at him and one got stuck for a long time on his cap and he got really confused wondering what it was ㅋㅋㅋ

Our fanchants made him laugh and be shy, we were louuuuud especially the 김종현 김종현 part ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Jonghyun's face when the score were showing, he was so serious ㅠㅠㅠ But his smile when he won was amazing ♡

He hugged the MC and she kept congratulate him. 수고앴어 종현아 ♡

I put a shawol in front of me because she was too small to see and she gave me a Taemin sticker. I love KShawols so much ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

*I can’t help but let out a loud laugh when I seem to have frightened him, finding it oddly adorable* Idiot. *I smile at him kindly, wanting him to know I was only joking around with the name calling, walking over to him and standing on the opposite side of the island across from him* Couldn’t sleep. Got a room full of drunk snoring girls hogging the blanket so… figured I’d come down here. *I pull out a small grinder and bowl from my pocket, smiling sheepishly at him as I show him, tucking them away again* But, I’m nice so I guess I’ll help you clean up a bit. Besides, from what I remember, you’re pretty dirty so I don’t really trust you to clean that much. *I give him a playful look before starting to gather all the empty bottles and cups on the island, making a pile for Tom to grab and throw into the bag* Um… thanks for earlier. With Cal. I know he thinks of me as some 12 year old but… just thanks for not letting it get out of hand. Frankie is harmless and he didn’t deserve a beat down. 

________________________________________

*glares at you but it not being fully serious, shaking my head a little as I pull my headphones out completely and go back to picking up the rubbish, listening to you with a smile* Girls snore louuuuud when they’re drunk. In m experience anyway. *laughs a little before cocking a brow as you pull out the weed, surprised as you were so quiet and innocent in high school* Who even are you? *smiles a little, only teasing and not insulting you* You wanna share when we’ve done cleaning up? *rolls my eyes as you insult my tidying* Not sure if you’ve realised but I have grown up a bit. I can grow a beard and everything. *smirks, scooping the bottles into the bag, trying not to make too much noise* *looks up as you speak, shrugging as you mention the situation earlier, not wanting to make it a big deal* It’s all good. Frankie was pushing his luck and he knew it. *pauses with a slight frown* Cal’s real protective of you, huh?

- Dean he's not a puppy!

- oh he's gone. In the house.. does he sense stuff?

- ouuuuh Sam said it. And Dean's drinking. Good

- except Cas Dean, except Cas.

- CAAAAAAAAAS... MISHAAAAA. Is his voice raspier? Oh god The Empty is horrible

- whaaaat is thaaat

- ugh Jack's so cute

- Ok finally Sam has addressed some of the things troubling him

- whaaat the fuuuuck

- oh god Misha YAAAAS!! God his acting

Final thoughts:

- CAS IS BACK BABY!! WOOOHOOOO... haters can suck it. This was a great ep, specially Misha Wise. Give that man more roles, seriously.

- So Jack reaching out to Cas helped him wake up? And Cas basically threatened to never shut up so that he could come back to life? That's goals right there 😂

- cas got closure on his grief, Cas helped himself. I love glow ups

- Cas, that entity was wrong you are loved honey, so loved.

When in San Fran...

I’ve been and seen the big GG!

But before we get there…

Trips involving Milners are rarely without their fair share of mishaps, mischief and mayhem, and this one got off to a typically interesting start. We pulled up at a service station en route to San Francisco from LA, and in our search for a restroom were told that the water supply was not currently fit for public use. We were reassured that if we just continued a few hundred metres down the road we’d come to a memorial centre, and that there’d be loos we could use there. Having tracked down this really quite odd looking place we thought must be said memorial centre, several members of the party were really rather (*read VERY*) in need. We parked up, and amidst the ensuing dash to the door nobody noticed the big sign saying “ANNUAL MEMORIAL COMMITTEE LUNCHEON 12PM TODAY”; not until my brother Ben caught sight and pointed it out All. Too. Late. At what must have been about 12:35pm, the entrance double doors had been flung open and the four of us, who couldn’t have been more casually or scantily clad and windswept having experienced several hours on the freeway under 40 degree sun in an open-top Mini, were faced with 30 or more tables seated to full capacity with very serious-looking guests (the general expression was now fast becoming tinged with disapproving consternation), dressed up to the nines, and mid very smart and civilised meal. There was no going back for the most desperate of the party, who caught sight of the “Restroom” sign on the far side of the hall and made a dash for it. The rest of us, heads down, at first didn’t know which road to take. We decided not to abandon our fourth member, and followed suit across the sea of civility to the safe haven of the restrooms, wondering whether or not our actions were actually even legal - by this point we knew full well they were not welcome. Several minutes passed before we could steel ourselves enough to brave the return journey through the hall. Just as we’d resolved to take our first step back into our worst nightmare, we heard the only sound that could worsen our dread: the knife tapped on the wineglass - the call for the speeches to begin. One stood. They started. There was SO MUCH SILENCE. We half walked half ran. IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING.

I’ve already written lots, and that was only supposed to be the intro. Let’s keep the rest snappy…

Things I learned the hard way in San Francisco

1 - Long hair and convertibles are NOT friends

Following the five-hour drive down in our loaned Mini, de-matting the matted mess I was left with on my head was no small mission. I’d even had my hair tied back. Thinking about journeying for any length of time by similar means? Be warned: your hairbrush will become a weapon of torture, and even the best conditioners will struggle. 

2 - Cycling in tandem IS fun

Yup. We didn’t just walk or cycle over the Golden Gate Bridge, we (ehem - my sister) chose to cycle IN TANDEM over the Golden Gate Bridge. I hadn’t even ridden a normal bike in years and was totally against the idea. However, after an initial freak out when first we mounted the monster bikes, I did get the hang of it soon enough. So do not fear if, like me, your first reaction is “dgjdfijifgjk GET ME OFF THIS THING!!!” - it’s actually really easy and loads of fun, and I’d encourage anyone to try it. If you do happen to be giving it a whirl over the Golden Gate - go for early on or later afternoon. It was a little chaotic endeavouring not to leave pedestrians sprawled in our wake whilst trying to cycle along the rather-too-narrow pathway at peak visiting time, but our return trip later on was far better. 

How much does that bird to the right look like a cat that’s just been flung out to sea…?!

3 - Corn Dogs aren’t THAT great 

Ever since, aged ten, I watched Anne Hathaway take Julie Andrews for one in Princess Diaries, in my mind I’d romanticised them as some sort of Stateside snack of perfection. I just KNEW it was going to be amazing……… I finally tried my first on the pier in San Fran, aaaand: let down. They’re ok. Reality check: Princess Diaries isn’t the oracle of everything. (Gutted.)

It’s really hard to make the sauce look nice.

4 - San Fran streets are SO steep

My fitness levels are AOK. I walk for fun. But oh. my. goodness. was it exhausting merely strolling from one end of the street to the other. HOW do the locals do it?! What if they’re also carrying shopping?!?! Oh my word, I don’t even know. And it must be still more of a challenge driving and parking a car up and down them. Holy brakes. 

5 - Sea Lions BARK 

“Awww look at the cute sea lions”, “Wow I had no idea there’d be sea lions living here”, “Oh look he’s sleeping”, “How incredible, there are so many of the darling things”, “WEEOOGH. WAA WAAAAAA”. - Turns out the resident sea lions of Pier 39 haven’t mastered the sweet talk to match their outward appearance. I’ve since learned the noise they make is referred to as a bark, and my goodness it is truly terrifying when you’re not expecting it. A thing of nightmares. And louuuuud. 

Oops I missed the sea lions out of all my shots…. they were just to the right of here. Imagine, imagine… 

6 - The Coit Tower does NOT stay open all hours

We totally knew it wouldn’t still be open at 9pm. But we still went to see. Actually the Tower is SO beautiful at nighttime, it was worth the trip anyway. If you do want to stand a chance of getting inside the museum however, visit also during daylight hours… At nighttime - take company! Even as part of a mini Milner pack, it was a little unnerving feeling our way to the top of that poorly lit hill in darkness. (It was so obviously not going to still be open was it…). 

Coit Tower at night

7 - Two cold-infested travelling companions = A LOT of tissues

Fill your pockets, fill your bag. They’re going to be asking if you’ve got one on you every two seconds all day long and it’s easier to just be able to say YES - HERE GO.

Buff and Ben doing a pretty sub-standard job of pulling off the I’m-not-really-ill look

Buffy doing a top job of pulling off the I’m-not-really-ill look. 

I should’ve chosen a more pleasant note to end on…

It’s ok, we still have the SuSo to go: “Lady Percy” by King Charles / http://open.spotify.com/track/06aD8SKHXlKwGlJ4U81aLz - because we sang that one the loudest whilst road tripping.

to my future lover..

i’m sorry…

i stopped believing in love ever since he showed me every reason why i should stop. i know its stupid of me to just stop “loving” because of one asshole. but the word love disgusts me. i was in a relationship with.. i would say 2 guys? that was pretty serious? but the first one was more like a best friend relationship? idek how to explain but yea? but when i was with him, wow it was amazing till shit happened. okay, lets stop talking about an irrelevant person and talk about the future? i do have like this guy but i really don’t know? or i’m scared if i’ll fall in that hole again. i’ve “pushed away” several of guys because i was still stupid and couldn’t move on and scared. laugh out louuuuud. i’m glad that now after discovering my worth and my own happiness, i can see things clearly. “now i see that the grass is greener”. 

and here’s 3 things i want you or anyone in the future to know

i don’t want an official date. i don’t even wanna be official. but kalau dah jodoh then idek lmao.

i’m not gonna say i love you, but just know that i do love you. i feel like saying i love you is too much? because i loved that badak like shit and it’s so weird saying i love you to another person? when we say things like “i’ll love you, no matter what” like if we don’t work out and what if i get into another relationship? the word is gonna be so overused that i think i might as well just say i love you to anyone? like saying i love you is so cheap? i know i make no sense but i’ve talked to one - two friends about this and one got it but the other one was like huh? so ya bean.

you don’t have to promise me anything. cause we all know promises are meant to be brokeeeen.

will this perception of mine change? stay tuned.
