Hello friendsssss! We have an official tag on AO3, we’ve all grown so much in just a few days. Amazing work all around! 
I’m just dishing out some general HCs today! Hopefully, I can actually get the time to turn my main DreamTheory meeting as coworkers at Sparky’s into a real fic soon! 
Both of them enjoy their height difference greatly. Mike usually hates feeling smaller or shorter than people, but he’s never met someone as genuine and nice as Ness so it doesn’t bother him, and makes him feel kinda safe. Ness just loves his pocket-sized boyfriend. 
I know someone else has already said this, but Ness with freckles!!!! Ness with freckles is so very important to me. I think they’re super light during most of the winter, but once it gets warmer and the sun comes out they’re fairly noticeable. Mike likes to kiss each one he can find, it always makes Ness laugh. 
I know we all agree that Ness is Conspiracy Boyfriend, and I agree! I think he particularly loves those paranormal ghost-hunting shows that were super popular back in 00’s, and he’s a HUGE Unsolved Mysteries fan. When he’s looking to get the same thrill but looking for more fictional media, he loves the Twilight Zone. 
Mike makes a mean grilled cheese and tomato soup, this is in part because it’s Abby’s favorite food and he decided if he had to make anything really well it would be this. Ness actually doesn’t like grilled cheese, but Abby talked it up so much he gave it a try and he ended up really liking it. It is one of Mike’s proudest moments. 
I think Ness is really good with kids, he seems to me the type that was the oldest cousin at parties. (This is just projection), so he’s used to having younger kids following him around and having to keep them entertained. While he’s used to it, he’s really genuine and loves doing it. He’s always overjoyed to hang out with Abby, and she adores him because of it. 
Ness and Mike cannot draw to save their lives! They are horrible at it, Abby likes to hold “drawing classes” where she tries to show them how she makes her masterpieces. Ness always tries hard, but it’s just not his strong suit. 
They are the couple that slow dances in the kitchen or living room. Mike is always reluctant about it, he’s fairly paranoid at romantic gestures, and he’s always scared someone will see them, but he always enjoys it when Ness convinces him it’s okay. Abby thinks it’s the most magical thing, so she draws the two of them as princes when they dance during a Disney movie night.  
Ness absolutely tells Mike and Abby stories to help them sleep. They both think he has the most soothing voice, Ness just loves being able to help them, sometimes he’ll even sing to them, but he’s still really shy about it. 
I think Ness really loves listening to musical soundtracks, but he’s also a pop girly through and through, like, he loves Kelly Clarkson, Paris Hilton, and Brittany Spears. Meanwhile, Mike doesn’t listen to music super often, he usually lets Abby or Ness pick. Otherwise, I feel like he’s really into grunge or early rock. He listens to Nirvana sure, but also Radio Head. (I also think he’s a very big Weezer fan) 
I think Mike is a big writer, he started journaling to help him take note of his dreams/memories of Garrett, then really leaned into it once his parents were out of the picture since he didn’t really have anyone else to turn to to vent. Sometimes he can be a little poetic, and he’ll write lil notes to Ness and leave them in his apron or pockets for him to find later. 
Ness thinks this is simply the cutest thing he’s ever seen actually, and attempts to do the same thing. He’s a little cheesier, and are usually filled with lil hearts and things doodled around them, but he sticks them on the mirror or on Mike’s alarm clock. Mike saves everyone he finds and slowly they start to cover the walls in his bedroom. 
The three of them cannot have board game nights. They are all waaaay too competitive, and the last time they played Uno and Ness won, Mike pouted so much and Abby locked herself in her room. They settle for movie nights or puzzles when they’re doing things the three of them. 
When Abby first starts dabbling in painting her nails, she practices on Ness and Mike. Eventually Ness and Abby usually just have matching nails, Ness doesn’t let the looks he gets bother him any. 
Abby absolutely knows they’re dating, Mike tries not to keep secrets from her, especially after the debacle of Freddy’s, and what happened with the Aunt. She’s too young, so she doesn’t get why people are weird about it, but she understands enough that she can’t tell anyone that Mike and Ness are dating. When she does talk about them, most people assume Ness is a girl, just because of his name. Abby just stops correcting people, the only person outside of them who knows is Abby’s therapist(?), but she supports Mike so it’s not really an issue. 
Ness loves stealing Mike’s sweaters and coats, they’re so much bulkier than the ones that Ness buys himself, so they’re so comfortable. In the winter, he’ll steal them and wear them to work or around the house. Mike grumbles and pretends he cares, but he thinks Ness looks cute in them. 
Ness has the worst road rage, Mike is both horribly amused and terrified of this when it occurs. Ness always apologizes afterward usually followed up by an “If people could just learn how to drive, I swear to GOD”  
Mike and Abby will go into Sparky’s when Ness is working just to get desert and to see him. Most of the employees at Sparky’s know there’s something going on between Ness and Mike, but they all let it remain unspoken. It seems like everyone is taking good care of each other, so no one decides to interfere.  
Well, that’s all I have for now! I’m really loving seeing everything everyone is putting out, and getting to read everyone’s work and see their art is amazing!

I just learned (via today's [10/25] stream) that Tango is a hockey fan.
Hello and welcome to "Sky's brain cannot learn abt hockey fan cc without going hockey au? Ytbrs play fun ice game? Assign them a l l"
Partially bc there are stereotypes and V i b e s for each position and partially bc hockey fun lol. I have Ideas and too many of them /lh
Not only is Tango a hocky fan, but he plays. (So does Mrs. T -- there's a great clip of her hip-checking him into oblivion somewhere. XD)
Doc tried to talk hockey to several of the hermits once (I think he plays too?), and he and Joe nearly exploded each other in confusion because Doc was calling it eishockey (German "ice hockey") and Joe was hearing "ease hokey" and Could Not figure out what that was. I think he thought Doc was trying to say something in Japanese? lol Meanwhile Doc is just like "???? You Americans play this, I swear?" and trying to explain the game but he's explaining it weird because he thinks he's trying to describe this game that Joe is completely unfamiliar with... Anyway, they're hilarious.
I know approximately 0.05% of anything about hockey because I haven't watched a game since Al MacInnis played for the St. Louis Blues in the late 90s/early 00s.

Jonas Brothers - The Album
In the early 00s, Disney was a pop star manufacturing machine, helping to launch the careers of Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and the Jonas Brothers. Starting in 2005, they were mainstays on Disney, at least until their hiatus in 2013, where brothers and band members Nick, Joe, and Kevin went their separate ways, whether it was getting married, starting families, or making solo music (or with other groups). The band got back together in 2019, and since then, they’ve released two albums, 2019’s Happiness Begins, and this year’s aptly named The Album.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t listened to much of their stuff, but I did pick up a copy of 2008’s A Little Bit Longer, because the Target version of the album had a cover of The Beatles’ “Hello Goodbye,” and at the time, I was a big Beatles fan and I thought it was a good cover. I remember being embarrassed to get it, though, but that was before I just didn’t really care about “guilty pleasures.” The Jonas Brothers have always been good with hooks, and Nick and Joe are great singers that harmonize well with each other. I’ve been kind of curious to listen to The Album, ever since it came out earlier this year, and I’ve listened to the album a few times throughout the summer. This is the first time I’m sinking my teeth into it, however, so I thought I’d talk about it briefly, because there at least some things to talk about with it.
I’m also really mixed on it, and the reason why I keep going back to it is because I don’t know how to feel exactly. There are some things I really like on here, but this album is weird. I like this album’s sound, as the band opted for an 80s pop sound with funk and yacht-rock, and the hooks throughout it are quite strong and fun, but the issues lie in the lyrics, the overall length of the album, and how the album sounds compared to others that are similar.
The lyrics on this album, to start off my laundry list of kind of complaints, they’re not good. Lyrics have been their specialty, but the lyrics on this album are very vapid, uninteresting, and just boring. This album does have a specific vibe to it, being more about summer and vacations, especially with songs called “Vacation Eyes,” “Summer Baby,” or “Summer In The Hamptons,” but they’re all either about the same things, or they’re just not interesting enough. A few songs are, as the lead single “Waffle House,” and I genuinely enjoy that song quite a bit, but it offers something different. The rest of the album has no substance lyrically, not that it necessarily needs to, but there’s just nothing to latch onto. This also album doesn’t do anything unique or different that other bands and artists with an 80s influence, and even the funkier side of their sound isn’t fleshed out enough to really make an impact.
I want to like this album more, but I think what does it for me is that this album is only 33 minutes long, and hardly any songs are over 3 minutes. It feels like this album was written around the longer songs, and the rest are just fragments of songs that don’t feel finished. Sure, the band sounds good, and the production is nice (Jon Bellion is the main producer on this record, among others), but the album feels unfinished and it feels way too short. I wish the album was longer, but for what it’s worth, it’s still decent. The hooks are good a lot of the time, and a few songs are pretty cool, but the album is kinda bland, despite its catchy and funky sound, and the lyrics aren’t very good or keep me engaged whatsoever. It could be a lot of worse, and for 33 minutes, it’s a very lean album, but it’s also not quite one of my favorites of the year.

Just a little intro!
Hello tumblr! We are Roll4Music! Which is really just an on-topic pseudonym that we (two real human beings, and definitely NOT several cats stacked up on top of each other inside of a trench coat) use to promote our works in the TTRPG space! 
What We Do:
We create TTRPG Battlemaps with accompanying Music/Soundscapes! Every Monday, we release a new Map & Music Pack over on our Patreon! Our Patrons get access to high resolution versions of all of our maps (and in multiple variants!) as well as high-quality music files composed to match the mood and setting of each respective map. We currently have over 50+ Map+Music Packs in our catalogue, with more added every week!
But it isn’t just our paying Patrons who can benefit from our work! We have free versions of all of our Battlemaps! Check out our Free Releases Catalogue here!
Tldr: We create TTRPG Battlemaps with accompanying Music Tracks and we have over 50+ FREE Battlemaps in our Free Release Catalogue! So now that that’s out of the way, here is a bit about us!
About Us:
We are Artemis (they/them) and Naeva (she/her)! We are a queer, trans, lesbian couple in our early 30′s and we are huge fucking nerds! And also musicians! And that’s why we created Roll4Music; we wanted to combine our love for TTRPGs with our love for music, and maybe occasionally eat from the fruits borne of our labours...by which I mean literally purchase food to eat from the money we earn on Patreon 😅 (Have y’all SEEN grocery prices lately?!?) 
We have four cats, a respectable but not-quite-overwhelming amount of plants, a fondness for chocolate, and a slight sense of existential dread. We’ve both been playing TTRPGs for the last decade, and we’ve both been musicians of some sort since the early 00′s. Our current campaign is a homebrew setting played in 5e, but Naeva has a deep and abiding fondness for GURPS. Artemis is a massive Dragonlance fan, and is incredibly geeked about the new module being released next month. 
So now you know a bit about us and about what we do! Thanks for reading, and we hope you stick around to see some of our work! 😊 
- Artemis & Naeva, Roll4Music

My GTA V Online (late) Festivity Holidays - Weazel Plaza Shootout Random Event [Jan 3rd, 2023]
Hello, it’s me! And welcome back to another GTA V Online moment, the (late) Festivity Holidays edition! 😄🎄❄️
And today, I'm unlocking a new weapon (as well as a skin) from the random event called the "Weazel Plaza Shootout".
IMPORTANT NOTE: My apologies for the gameplay hiccups. So, please ignore it.
If you haven't watched my previous post, then please [CLICK ME!].
• Yet another video I recorded this 2023 🎦🎮⏺️, and I'm attempting the special random event. So, to spawn this, you must enter the "Public Session" & at least 2 players present in this session 👤👤, require no less than 20 minutes ⏱️, and the event will start from 8:00 PM (or 20:00 in military time) to 6:00 AM 🕗➡️🕕. Plus, you must be within 400 meters of the Plaza building. My strategy was to go early, I parked my flying vehicle (the Oppressor Mk II) on top of the building & wait until the time triggered at 20:00 / 8:00 PM. Good thing this season has only 2 players & it didn't come to kill me just for their sake of their fun; It wasn't 😠, and thankfully I didn't burst my emotions. 🧘
• Nonetheless, I made it in time by blasting police copters (with my flying vehicle's homing "nerf" missles) before the generators explode (outta nowhere) from the top building! Boom! Boom! Pow! 🏢💥(Hehe... Sorry said that 😅) Did I mention, that this scene was pay homage to the 1988's action film called "Die Hard" 🎞️? No? I guess you're not a fan of the series, but it's okay, and so am I. Anyway, I landed my flying vehicle in a safe spot & I go guns blazing with my carbine rifle & a little blast from my pump-up shotgun Mk II onto AI enemies, including the middle one who looks like Hans Gruber. Hmmm, the "real" Hans Gruber doesn't wear glasses, right? Well, all looks aside, I took out another police copter before I retrieve the new weapon called the "WM 29 Pistol" 🔫. Looks like that AI survived the explosive ammo from my shotgun, huh? And he cowardly run when I retrieved the new gun. Weirdo... Anyways, I immediately run with my flying vehicle & I escaped my wanted stars.
BTW: Here's a new livery called "Season's Greetings" for my Pistol Mk II looks like. ↓ Sweet, huh? 😁🎅🎄
Tumblr media
• Anyways, as for the WM 29 pistol 🔫 itself... Well, I'm no expert when it comes to gun enthusiasts 🤔, but I have to say for this gun, it's pretty average by some players. It's not powerful as other pistols and it has fewer cosmetics (from the Ammu-Nation store). In fact, GTA players prefer other usable pistols, including the aforementioned Pistol Mk II. But, on the plus side, it is literally "free" when you participate in special random event. So, overall? I'm fine with the WM29 & the gun skin for my Pistol Mk II. 🙂👍
🎆🧨Well, that’s all for now & happy (late) new year, my secret friends!🥳🥂
(😡 Except unwanted tresspassers!😡)
And If you want to see my previous car prize, and more, then please → [CLICK ME!]. 😉
(Where do all the links go you may ask? I made a post about all GTA V Online-related links. This will prevent error save drafts, in my future post. Plus, I’m always updating my link post.)

Jeff vs. Jane vs. Slenderman
by MoTHY013
A fan's continuation to the classic Jeff vs Slenderman + the Jeff vs Jane story. Not much to say. It's not even a full story sadly.
CW// guts, alcohol mention, laceration, murder
Click below to read the original unedited story
In a dark morgue, grim and depressing, went on a slow,nervous conversation."So,"the mortician said to the police investigator grimly, "they say it's him again." The officer looked to the two bodies warily. They were of a young couple,apparently going out for a hike in the now torched and desolate woods.The  autopsy concluded results so shocking, that the coroner had his lunch jump back into his throat. The couple were apparently iviserated,their organs hanging out by the time cops had seen them. His eyes stared blankly at them never once blinking."No doubt about it." "JEFF IS BACK." Janis had just gotten off of work at a local hair salon. Her and her colleagues decided to go out for a few drinks.After all, it was 5:00 somewhere,right? She stumbled slightly down the road to her apartment,her mind slightly buzzed from one too many shots of whiskey with her friends. Suddenly,a loud crash of trash cans startled her back into sobriety. She looked on cautiously as she saw the perpetrator stalk slowly out of the shadows. It was a large black tabby cat strolling down the road,directly past her.she stifled a laugh at herself for getting all worked up over a dumb cat. As she began walking,she heard a low chuckle."H-hello?" She asked. She looked around anxiously,her feeling of fear coming back slowly."Is someone there?" At that, the chuckles turned to full blown laughter. She broke into a full sprint at the very sound of it,tears of fear threatening to all from her eyes. However before she could turn the corner to safety,she tripped and fell directly on her ankle,a sickening crack resounded right after impact."S-someone please-!" She was cut off has he heard stumbling footsteps coming toward her. She turned her head slowly to the one after her,he was a young man in his early twenties,and had on a white hoodie and black dress pants on. The hoodie was stained red with what looked to be his own blood and as blood the innocents as well.A large gash was also apparent on his lower abdomen. His skin was unnaturally pale,almost white,his mouth ripped into a smile across his face.But,the most horrific thing to this man besides his ghoulish grin,were his eyes. They were bordered in black,seemingly never blinking."Shhhhhhh..." He rasped out,"It's time to  Go To SLEEP." And with that six word sentence,he pounced on the poor girl,blood pooling one again from the reopened wound. As he gutted the poor woman below him,she tried to say,"Why?" But came out as a gurgled whimper. He glared down at her,seemingly admiring his handy work and repeated those words once more."Just...Go To SLEEP..." Jeff limped down the empty street of the newest town he lay waste to. His lower abdomen was still raw and bleeding from his battle with the notorious Slenderman.Jeff had grown numb to the feeling of intense pain that rippled and intensified as he walked.. It was a subtle sting to him now; a small stinging reminding him that he had something to focus on.Revenge. Yes, the feeling of vengeance,pain,and his own insanity was the only thing on his shattered mind. But first,he would need to spill more blood. He walked along the sidewalk past the bar. This was the same bar he'd met another adversary,Jane the killer, that  single-handedly  had caused him a living hell. Knives.Anger.Vengence. The feeling. The fragmented memories kept replying in Jeff's mind as he remembered the last battle with her.Meanwhile,a sound of the clacking of footsteps on concrete was just behind him.
He noticed it after a minute and took out his bloodied blade,his eyes glaring at the darkness in front of him. “Who's there?” Jeff growled. His question was responded with a long machete flung just a few inches from his head,small pieces of hair falling to the ground. He whirled around (careful of his wound) and met the attacker. It was Jane."Hello,Jeff." She said venomously."long time no see." He  looked at he and grinned wider than usual, his mind once again dominated by the feeling."Heheheh Hello, Janie! Just the bitch I wanted to kill!" And with that, they both lunged at each other.  Jane was blocking the attacks and various slashes while Jeff used what energy he had left to end her.The effect of bloodloss and quickened  movement was beginning to take its toll. Still,Jeff was relentless.He lashed out at her,aiming for her chest."Oh Jane!! He screeched."HAVE A HEART!" Jane dodged it easily,and taunted back "Oh your fucking hilarious! You should've been a fucking comedian!"They were each unaware how deep into the remnants of the woods they were going into,but a vacant and derelict onlooker watch contently from afar. A static like voice could be heard whispering "LET THE HUNT BEGIN."

multi-parter epica thing. thought about it while i was making my albums of the year list.
so epica was like, a top-tier symphonic metal band in the 00s. you had nightwish starting to tarnish (then really going whole hog), kamelot entering their fan favorites era, and epica was really chewing the fuck out of the scenery. 2007’s the divine conspiracy is, god, top 2 symphonic metal albums of all time for me.
and then the 2010s hit??
so the thing about epica is that their sound is relatively stable for the genre. there are a couple of reasons for this: the simplest is that they don’t have the insane level of vocalist turnover that a lot of other symphonic metal bands have (hello nightwish, xandria, sirenia), so they never had to scramble to accomodate a new vocalist. they obviously have evolved in both sound and concept over time, but like… from album to album, you’re not going to get something like, i don’t know. like century child or neverworld’s end. 2012’s requiem for the indifferent (apposite. i am indifferent to this album) is, i think, the big obvious sea change in epica’s catalogue: thematically, they depart from their typical Organized Religion Bad Real Bad But Because We’re White Lib Europeans We’ve Got A Lot To Say About Islam In Particular (which does produce some mindbendingly awesome music, regrettably, e.g. the whole divine conspiracy). their sound gets more… ambitious, maybe, on this album? any symphonic metal worth its salt is ambitious (i was going to say it all is, by nature, then i remembered serenity and apocalyptica and decided against that). this is their first album with keyboard solos, which are one of my least favorite features of epica’s 10s catalogue— they just never really do anything for me, especially as they coincide with epica’s growing capacity to do these big ol’ symphonic numbers: you get a lot of songs that seem like the result of an embarrassment of musical riches.
i don’t really have much to say about this album. it literally made next to no impact on me. i’m listening to it rn and i remember it (at least, i’m in the front half now and i remember that), but it has no draw on me. the drum mixing feels super inconsistent— i think it’s because i liked it a lot on omega alive (where it is quite loud and prominent but also like, crisp and well-placed) that i’m hearing this and wondering why it sounds like the drums are all over the place. like, ok, near the end of monopoly on truth you get this really standout belted bit from simone (carry me slowly in the depths of your life!!!) where the already quite aggressive drums nearly drown her out as the instrumental gets pared back. i know a lot of the Simone Simons Bad Vocalist slander comes from live performances, but i do wonder how much of it begins with production choices like this, where specifically powerful vocal moments get drowned out or brought down against a backdrop choral arrangement. and there are some cool vocal moments! simone is really moving out of the affected classical/operatic style she had in the 00s, which i know is controversial among purported epica fans, but i think her voice sounds dope. there’s a cool moment on storm the sorrow (i think? i don’t care) where they slap a vocal distortion effect on her (which feels very kamelot somehow, like very futuristic dystopian yk) that sounds kind of dope in the moment (though weird in context). title track requiem for the indifferent sees a return to the orientalist aesthetics that were common in the genre in the 00s (think early xandria, therion), and it blunders a bit on the thin line between cool and goofy. it would sound cooler if the song didn’t kind of suck— i’m listening to it now, and the first verse is like… peak mark jansen lyricism, with literally zero prosody. this album has a LOT of simone’s lyricism which is frankly a blessing— see below:

SOMEONE knows about rhyme and metaphor! like i cannot tell you how god damn stupid “how can we justify the act / we’ve tried to look around and search for ways to (distortion amps up) shift the blame” sounds on an album where you get simone writing SooOOOO well for her own voice. but like i’m a simone simons lyrical miracle truther.
anyway like, unmemorable 3/5 album, i don’t have the musical vocabulary or the space to talk about what else i don’t like about it. mostly it’s unobjectionable if you’re not— as i currently am— sitting here with your nice headphones on having a good think about how it’s put together.
HOWEVER! they follow this up with the quantum enigma (2014) which RULES. like, the guitars get kind of swampy on requiem for the indifferent (i blame the drums in a lot of cases but i’m a babybrain music listener. it’s probably its own thing), but here they fucken sizzle. the concept also— like, okay, you can make good music with a total mismatch of concept and sound. i’m sure of it. not everyone seems to think that big cosmic things need big cosmic music, judging by the way people talk about like the mountain goats or whatever. taste! but the thing is, CONSISTENTLY, epica’s albums that are less esoteric are worse. like in the most.. my god. okay look at this
Tumblr media
we start with design your universe because it’s the start of their album art era where they didn’t just go HERE WE’VE GOT A HOT GIRL. but literally you can see in the design that 2 + 4 in this lineup are going to suck. it’s INCREDIBLE! why does no one at nuclear blast see this!
note to self— relisten to intro to quantum enigma on something else and fuck with the eq. there’s a weird buzz that sounds like it might be… horn? yikes.
anyway like, the quantum enigma is way more rip-roaring cool out of the gate. it still features very unfortunate lyrics from mark jansen, but what else is new. here. L-R mark, rob, simone
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
fuckin ONE OF YEZ knows how to write words for a voice! (it’s simone. it’s always simone. rob’s aren’t bad— in all conscience is my favorite epica song of all time— but like, simone’s over here toeing the line of impressionistic senselessness with bonkers flair).
i need to go give this album a relisten so i’m dropping this here but the album fucking rips. i think the keyboards have particular rizz here: they lead in (with strings, which technically are more prominent but don’t feel like it) on the essence of silence, and then have this kind of gorgeous toeing-the-edge-of-cacophony effect as they get layered into the instrumental around the midway mark. a lot of the success of this song is how they toe the edge of shrill, which i mean as respectfully as is possible— like a lot of really soaring high notes from both simone and the backing vocals (i THINK marcela bovio is featured heavily here, as well as simone herself doing double duty— but i’d have to check). the whole album’s got a solid balance of symphonic elements and just really tasty metal. the latter half of victims of contingency has this incredible effect of like, trading verses between guitar solos and symphonic strings, cools off a bit (with a delicious piano flourish) to let simone have a second, then just barrels to the end. it’s got MOMENTUM! it has momentum they didn’t have again until omega! i’m gonna go jam. the album fucks. and then after it they broke my grinchy little heart with the holographic principle, and then patched it up and nursed me back to health with omega, and then. man idk. fucked my brains out or rebirthed me or something on omega alive. bye

Hello! This might be to personal so feel free to ignore but I just binged Sliding Into Home (I try not to read fics until they’re complete but I couldn’t skip past a baseball AU for the 15th time). I’m assuming you’re from St. Louis with how well you write the Cardinals and the city but how did you get into baseball? And if I’m completely wrong and you’re not from St. Louis, how did you end up a Cardinals fan? Your passion and love for the sport shines through in every chapter and truly makes is such a well rounded fic.
Hello Nonny!
First off, I’m so glad that you like it and you gave it a shot! I know it’s not complete but I update every 2-3 days on the regular :) I also try to do art when I have the time, so I’d be more than happy to have you on this journey if you’re willing to jump on the crazy train!
So my love affair with the Cardinals began at an early age. My dad is a HUGE baseball fan and we do NOT like Chicago (we don’t support any teams from there which is a completely different ask). They tried to get me into Softball but I never wanted to play that. I thought it was dumb we had to throw underhand and I wanted to play with the boys. (Nothing wrong with softball players, it just wasn’t for me).
I didn’t grow up in St. Louis, but a small city about 2/2.5 hours away in a little town called Peoria Illinois (I don’t live there anymore so I don’t feel bad about saying all this) If you happen to be a Cardinals fan you might know that that is where the lower A minor league team is. Now I grew up in the late 90s early 00’s and lower A is where Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina started. So I’ve been watching them since I was just a kid. (NGL I thought Yadi was adorable and in my little 9-10 year old brain thought I had a chance of marrying him. Cause you know… realistic expectations))
I also got lucky, during two pivotal ages (14 and 20) The Cardinals won the World Series. Having something that you have some interest in winning a championship is a good way to keep that interest as you get older. It also helps that I grew up “one of the guys” and for some reason being able to talk baseball was a way to impress them? (I don’t know they always thought it was weird that I could talk baseball since I was a girl… remember early 00s) However, during all this time I was a pretty casual fan. I knew the basics of baseball, what players were what, what pitches were what, strikes, balls, that sort of stuff.
When I moved out of Illinois I was lucky enough to live close to an NL team that I could go see them every year, but about 2 seasons ago it really started to hit me… Yadi and Waino were getting up there in seasons, getting up there in age and I didn’t know how much longer I’d have with them, so I started paying more attention.
Suddenly ERAs and WHIP and put outs started being more important, I started getting to know the players AROUND Yadi and Waino, Goldy, Edman, Bader (we’re not talking about him it still hurts my heart, though I love Nootsy to death). Batting averages started to become important, line ups started making SENSE.
I started paying attention to our minor leagues, Gorman and Walker and Yepez (though Donovan took me by surprise). and then we got Arenado and Nootbaar and my love for the game got reinvigorated the same as it was when I was a little girl wanting to go to a chiefs game every weekend.
So long story short nonny, my love affair with baseball, while very different, has been as long as Bradleys has. And I’m glad that it shines through on paper.

Hii 🐸 everyone is talking/ complaining about noise music being the big trend in kpop rn and I thiiiiink i know what they mean? But I'm not sure I have the right idea of what the style is..? What are some kpop songs that you think are a good example of noise music? I don't mean that the song necessarily is good, just that it shows well what noise music IS... oh and what are your thoughts on the trend and why it became THE thing.. do you like noise music? (Sorry for the unnecessary length of this! Anyway I hope you're doing well 💜)
i miss when nct was indie. 
in general, i'd define noise music (according to kpop stans) as anything with a heavy bassline, loud EDM, and harsh grating "unusual" sounds. a lot of noise music is actually based in 90s and 00s hip-hop production, with a mix of hyperpop from the 2010s. you'll notice that a lot of nct's producers and early kpop producers are actually hip-hop producers too. fans want anything that follow a nice abab cdcd rhythm with a predictable chorus, it never feels unpleasant to the ear (good recent examples are bts' dynamite, joy's hello, cherry bullet's lovesosweet, twice's alcohol-free). it's nice to listen to sometimes, but this gets super boring quickly (this music is very 2017 radio friendly) which is why noise music has gotten a lot more popular over the years primarily due to the rise in nct's popularity
some key examples of "noise" music are 127's songs fire truck, kick it, kitchen beat, chain, cherry bomb, punch, wakey wakey, simon says, etc and nct u's boss. you'll notice that the songs never have a traditional chorus, have a heavy bassline, and very grating electronic sounds that actually work well with the production (if you really listen to the song). other examples of noise music would be zimzalabim (hated by everyone on first listen), attaboy (a controversial reve bside that was obviously an f(x) song), 70% of itzy's discography, skz's titles, shinee's dcm, everglows titles (minus la di da). actually a lot of 2nd gen tracks would be considered noise in todays context too (ring ding dong, electric shock, the boys, lucifer, come back home....the list just goes on).
personally, i do like noise music.. after all im an f(x) and nct fan... i only think nct has been able to do noise music well in the later gen, its always been their Brand. sm's production for nct is super well done, while the later groups are just bad rip-offs of nct's sound. the new producers are very repetitive with the melodies and sounds they use, hence everything sounding the same and the trend becoming the new kpop 2010s tropical house obsession. to this day, nct's "noise" production is very original and unusual, i remember in the early days their music stuck out like a sore thumb...everybody overall hated fire truck and cherry bomb (their true indie era...and why the term noise music has always been associated with their sound in the first place). now noise music is what everyone uses to call a song too loud and grating (plus the insult is the lyrics lack meaning...but the question is why does everything have to have meaning?). as a final thought, i always think its strange how much ppl dislike noise music bcuz it becomes very obvious they havent listened to anything outside of white pop radio for the past ten years

At the beginning of the first performance, BEYOOOOONDS pumped it up but,
Everyones spirit was super conveyed in their voices!
It was reallyyyyy cool!
BEYOOOOONDS songs, when everyone in in Beyo is singing it feels really lively, I think, as expected of them
Within the Hello Pro groups, they already have established
and everyone in these groups, are unique, funny and cute,
I can't stop watching them......
Also Tsubaki Factory!
Tsubaki Factory is, ah, also with Beyo but, Even though they had planned solo hall performances, they ended up being without audiences,
This time is the first with the live audience, they conveyed that they were havin a lot of fun
Everyones new outfits were cute
the lively Tsubaki now, I really like it!!
This time the songs we covered for the BEYOOOOONDS & Tsubaki Factory premium as Morning Musume '21,

The other of the 2 was Nonaka, it felt like the story was already overflowing at that time with Ishida and Nonaka? lol We both decided on the direction we wanted to talk, thats right, I was properly making the role lol
since there is a video posted of the two lady-like girls, On the official Morning account,
I want you to definitely watch this story
The BEYOOOOONDS songs, while thinking, since Beyo sings this!

Ishida's Bread
Its trending, and sold out the first day
thank you very much
I'm happy... having it be in the hands of the customers... it was sold...
It was a very early morning for the bakery! fufu
I also woke up early
the people around me got up even earlier, making the final preparations,
I am truly grateful for all the help we received
Deciding on ABC before buying
Preparing 500 yen
Thanks to your cooperation, I think the queue was going quite fast! thank you very much!
Immidiately after the sales started there was a line, settling down, then the line calmed down, and it seems like you were able to immidiately buy the remaining bread,
Even when it was crowded around 12:00 at lunchtime, the best time to go to the shop was around 12:45 when people were done eating, like that, it had that feeling, I'll whisper something it..... (that was just today's atmosphere)
When I heard Ishida's Bread was sold out, I was happy and relieved
But, it was faster than I expected......!
For myself personally, I hope it'll sell out quickly--! I wasn't in a hurry but, It'd be nice if people could buy it for the 2nd performance, I wanted there to be time, How was it,
Thats what I was thinking...!
Also it was 1 set person so,
Thank you to everyone who abided by that today Again, thank you
I hope it will reach many people tomorrow as well...
that is,
How can I tell people that don't read my blog? there are also certainly those who don't look at Instagram either right?
I'll whisper it to everyone...? lol
1300 sets are available at the venue,
and 100 sets are at the momom Aeon Mall Makuhari New City
Thank you very much for tomorrow too~
#IshidasBread If could trend tomorrow as well...I'd be happy...

Quarantine.69
Tumblr media
[Masterlist]
Beta: N/A Pairing: BTS x reader Friends2Lovers Genres: friendship, drama, romance SLOWEST OF BURNS. until the anticipation kills us all… Rating: PG-13 and above Summary: Your brother works with a few BigHit dance teams and whilst having permission to accompany him at work the city shuts down banning anyone from stepping outside for a whole WEEK while they disinfect the streets. If you step outside you might get arrested, shot, or poisoned by the chemicals they are emitting through the city. Words: 1.4k Announcement: Working hard and hardly working.
[Part 1] [Part 68] [Part 70] [Tag Yourself Here]
Stepping out from your appointment at the physio, you saw Mister Dong leaning against his car. He hadn't noticed you had seen him thank gosh. Immediately you became suspicious, what was he doing here, you glanced around casually and checked your phone only to see it ringing. It was his name on the screen. Could you pretend it wasn't ringing? Would he know you were lying? Would you care if he knew?
Sighing discreetly, you answered the phone, "Hello?" You asked starting to walk to the cafe Wendy had said she would be working but you were there to meet with Mal-chin. He had asked to see you and it seemed kind of important.
"Ah miss y/n, how are you this morning?" His voice was condescending and you knew he was hiding something and trying to lord it over you.
"Kind of busy, I am meeting a friend for lunch?" You said politely and yet still with authority.
"I was wondering if you had time for a quick chat, your brother and his girlfriend are going on a get away holiday are they not?" He said smugly and you bit your lip and continued to walk away, that asshole. "Do you still not have time to-"
You cut him off, "Hello?" You said trying to sound genuinely confused "Hello, Mister Dong are you there?"
"Hello, yes I am here?" His voice came through clearly and you held your phone up in the air having muted the phone and started shouting that the service was bad while muting and unmuting the phone stealthily with your thumb. disconnecting the call in the middle of your talking "Hello are you the-"
That ought to keep him busy for a while, you thought continuing down the road without looking back. But what he said really hit you, he had faked a get away holiday for your brother and his girlfriend, you dropped Thomas and Areum a text and they understood your warning that Mister Dong planned it to get them away from you. They agreed that they would keep an eye out for trouble but would definitely use the trip anyway for a free trip and paid leave from the company.
There wasn’t much time for thought as you arrived at the cafe, Wendy waved to you from behind the bad her Plum coloured hair standing out amongst the other staff members. She was such a bubbly young lady you honestly couldn’t fathom not meeting her. She reminded you of yourself when you were not so -- for lack of a better word -- Damaged.
She was a good influence, she reminded you to be happy in the moment, and not to dwell. Sure your mind was full of what if’s, but if you were out having a good time with people you love and trusted; she taught you to push the worries aside. If for a moment and have fun, it surprised you how afterwards you would think over the events. All the things you had worried about leading up to the events, seemed irrelevant, they were all for nothing. 
Mouthing to her and gesturing to her beautiful make up she blushed and looked down concentrating on her pour. Giggling you turned to see Mal-chin sitting at a table, his knee jutting in away that reminded you of a young teens impatience and boredom. His hair was on the longer side, with the whole quarantine thing, he wouldn’t have time for a haircut. Even when you met it was a tad shaggy, like your dark phase in highschool or the fourth year in harry potter.
Mal-chin gave you a brilliant smile and you took off your coat sitting down, you didn’t miss his glance towards your choice of shirt, it was a v neck but you didn’t think it was distasteful. The boy was a teen of course and he was respectful enough to quickly look away. It reminded you of Seokjin’s whining that morning about your choice of shirt.
“Hey Mal-chin, how is your dad?” “He is good, he has been a little busy though,” He smiled. It mustn't seem bad to have some space at his age. “I have been working hard and look here at my text scores, my teacher says if I keep this up I will get accepted in the S Medical University.”
“That is so exciting,” You smiled as Wendy came over to take your order. Mal-chin Ordered a Chai latte with cinnamon on top and you ordered a dark chocolate mocha iced. The conversation and banter between you three was great, they brought up your speech and cute phrase and you blamed Wendy. Who when she finished her shift she suggested you three go to the movies and watch some new romance comedy.
Looking at Mal-chin making sure he wasn’t uncomfortable he was smiling brilliantly, and the two were off leaving you to try and catch. They were walking along and window shopping and you received a call from Bang Si-hyuk who asked you to come for an important meeting.
“Hey guys, I have to go back early. I got a meeting but you too have fun and tell me how the movie goes” You grinned racing back to the Bighit headquarters and were ushered through security and up to one of the top floors for the meeting.
Everyone was there and waiting, bowing politely you rushed to your seat, “Sorry I am late, I came as fast as my leg allowed”
“Miss y/n, I saw you on television delivering a very powerful speech,” Mister Bang smiled cheekily, “We all have our memorable speeches”
Flushing as you remembered your fumble on stage in front of millions, “Ah yes, I have learnt the correct phrase now and will remember it well”
“We are here to revisit your relationship with the boys and I must say recently you have been in good favors with the Army and well, it doesn’t seem like they would be against you dating a member, we are thinking we can use this as a test. To see how they react to someone dating a member.”
You nodded listening intently “As Seokjin is the oldest, we are thinking perhaps he could be the other party public advertised in the relationship and then your presence with the band won't be questioned. Of course we expect to lose some of the fan base but we want to know how many exactly still support the band.” Mister Bang sighed before taking a drink of water.
“We don’t want a Hyuna and Edawn situation on our hands, if you can still be successful we won’t kick you out, if the effects are to negative we will deny the allegations and say you were working together for an upcoming project,” You watched the CEO discuss your relationship feeling kind of exposed but kept quiet. “If this works you can publicly move with the band if not, you will move behind the scenes in secret” 
“That sounds fair sir” Nodding to show your understanding he smiled before turning to the bored
“Before we finalise this does anyone have anything to say on the matter, I want the band, the company and yourself to be well represented.”
“I think you should see this sir,” Mister Dong said showing an article that had your picture on it dressed in a Hazmat suit with a gun and the article was exposing you for killing someone during quarantine and not being a saint or saviour. 
“This complicates things. I am so sorry, I cannot bring this onto my company and group, perhaps when everything dies down we can try again.” He said with a deep sigh rubbing his face “Ah… I was actually so happy and ready for you guys to start dating.”
“Hey whatever she did was self defense and we can have the article taken down and marked as defamation of character, we can say it was an attempt to tear her down.” Namjoon said standing and you slumped into your chair, head tilted back. This was like an earthquake, splitting your world in two. 
“It would be best if you aren’t seen entering our building for a while and I ask that you don’t stay with the boys anymore it is too risky to have you seen, it is funny how one little thing changes everything” Mr Dong smirked eyeing you with mock pity he walked around the table and touched your shoulder. “I will drive you home.”
“Hey y/n, before you go don’t lose hope, look everything is up in the air again let’s give it a week and revisit the decision” Mr Bang said trying to reassure you.

Bunny’s 200 follower event
Tumblr media
request: hi hi!! i just saw ur matchups event and i’m super excited... also idk if i’m doing this right 👀 but uh could i have 2 hq matchups? ☺️ i’m a cancer and most likely an infj! i am pretty loyal to people i’m close eith, but otherwise, i’m kinda quiet and closedoff with others. i’m also pretty sensitive and empathetic when i can be 😖 oh! and uhh some of my hobbies include journaling, crocheting, and hiking/walking. now, as for a s/o, i really admire determined and thoughtful people!! (part one ⛈) (part two ⛈) i also like people who are on the more quiet side, but ngl, i love people with a bunch of energy too... so i mean, i could go either way 😅 and uhh i would NOT like a partner who is too cold or insensitive... or anyone who is too immature 😳 oh, some things i didn’t mention before: i’m kinda short (barely 5’2”) and uhh yeah idk if that means anything loll 👀 anyways that’s it :D tysm!! congrats on 200!! 💕
Tumblr media
a/n: I’m happy you’re excited!! And don’t worry you did do this right lol! Thank you and I hope you enjoy! I’m also officially adding you as ⛈ anon so this will be easier for you to track :) hello ⛈ anon okok enjoy lol
Warnings: slight timeskip spoilers!
Reading your request, you have been matched with...
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ Sugawara Koushi
Tumblr media
Ok so hear me out, YES he’s a Gemini and yes you’re a cancer but this is so perfect on all other levels
This mf has to be one of the most determined and thoughtful people I know
Not to mention I think he’s the perfect balance of quiet but also energetic! And he has company that match both so he’s able to match your energy any day of the week
He’s also not quiet in a boring way ya know?
He will tease you lovingly, but in private cause he doesn’t want anyone getting the wrong idea that they can tease you too or something
He’s also mature in a genuine way, like understanding of other people’s perspectives type mature
Not that faux I’m a dude type mature
Ok anyways onto your relationship
He will shamelessly ask for a crocheted scarf, mittens, and sweater
And he WILL wear them
They can be a set or not doesn’t matter his heart might actually burst if you give him anything of yours that you’ve crocheted
Pls he has a scarf you made him when it starts getting colder outside and one day a kid in his class asked about it and he was so 🤩
It took everything in him not to talk about you and your scarf all day
He simply told them his spouse made it for him and yes every kid immediately wanted one ☝🏼
Your loyalty and dedication to the relationship would mean a lot to him and he’d always be doing his best to show you he is just as dedicated
I feel like he’d do that like trying out your hobbies with you!
He’d totally sit and let you teach him how to crochet and then try his best to make you a scarf it does fall apart the first try and it does defeat him a little but boy is DETERMINED to make you a mf scarf
Ok I’m sorry enough with the crocheting LMAO
He’d love taking afternoon walks with you!
I could totally see you guys taking a little walk around the block or at a nearby park after you’re both off work and just catching up with your days and then making dinner when you two get home
They’re the highlight of his day :)
His students would know probably so much about you LMAO
You bring him lunch ONCE and you didn’t realize his kids would be still be in the classroom and they’re immediately bombarding you, they are also calling you by your first name LMAO
“Hi (y/n)~~~!”
“Oh my gosh can you please~~ make me a scarf!”
“Yeah me, too!”
“Wait wait look what I made you!”
It’s a stick figure drawing of what you think is you and suga on a piece of construction paper that’s your favorite color, why suga told them that you don’t know
Your hair is also rainbow because, they’re children LMAO
And Suga’s just standing there like 🧍🏼‍♂️
But it’s very sweet and it warms your heart to know that he’s always thinking of you :)
Your vibe reminds me of...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another suitable match for you would be...
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ Akaashi Keiji
He’s a bit quieter than Suga for sure, but with the company he keeps - I mean cmon Bokuto? - he’s CLEARLY ok with being energetic or at the very least being around energetic people
Ok with akaashi you’re not getting rid of Bokuto let’s address that first, you’ve just gained a new bestie
He is ALWAYS fawning over you two when you’re all together
Candid vids of you guys are basically all his private snapchat story is at this point
He’s really your biggest fan it’s so sweet, allbeit overbearing at times but he means well ❣️
I’m sorry,... I’m bringing up crocheting again...
If you crochet akaashi anything you have to make a second one because Bokuto will want one too I’m sorry LMAO
SOmtimes he doesn’t fully grasp that not everything involves him in the relationship, he just loves y’all
He wouldn’t cross boundaries though he’s not like that :)
Ok moving on from Bokuto LMAO
You two are that quiet, really gorgeous couple that scares people asjdkskajs
Like seeing you two together in public and you’re both so quiet but OBVIOUSLY love each other with the way you’re so physically close in proximity and the way you keep looking at each other
You two communicate with just your eyes ALL the time, like y’all will basically have full on conversations
You’ll be tired and want to go home to cuddle, and you’ll just look at Akaashi and the two of you will exchange a few glances before nodding your heads and your walking out hand in hand bye
It scares Bokuto
Anyway
PINKY HOLDING
I do see him as a big hand holder in public but he’s also insecure about his hands :(
So I feel like he’d have a habit of holding your hand and then letting go soon after when he gets insecure, and lord help him if his hands are clammy oh no
But you’d be so !!! No let me hold it!!
So you’d just latch onto his pinky one day when he goes to pull his hand away and just share a look
So now pinky hand holding is the norm
Ok he’s the kind of guy who would lowkey like how short you are
Like it’s perfect for cuddle dates
His fav is to lay in bed with you in between his legs and your leaning against his chest, and he’ll rest his chin on top of your head or just hold you there in general while you watch movies on his laptop
Your height is just so convenient for him
Also lowkey loves having to grab things off the top shelf for you and won’t change his habit of putting things up there so he can still grab them for you
One time tho he came into the kitchen to see you climbing onto the counter to grab something from the top shelf and he thought it was cute at the time until he had a bad dream that night about you falling and getting hurt somehow absjskakjdjd

Dreaming of You - Bang Chan
3.5K words
Fluff
~Finally after so long I finally finished something 😭 I hope Y’all like it!
…….
Y/N
Tossing your bags on the ground you kicked your door closed behind you. You let out a sigh of relief, another long day finally finished. You entered your small apartment discarding your shoes and jacket by the front door, leaving them in a pile on the ground to deal with in the morning. You’re eyes watered as you let out a yawn you had been holding in since lunch time. Who ever knew a remedial office job could be so taxing. Everyday you felt more and more drained from your everyday life. You grabbed a slice of leftover pizza from the fridge and plopped down on your couch, not bothering to heat it up. Cold pizza was better anyways. A strong meow emerged from the pillow underneath your foot as you lounged on the long sofa. Out crawled your feline Mozzie, the long haired tuxedo cat gave you an annoyed headbutt on your foot and sulked off to your bedroom to claim his place at the foot of your bed. You took out your phone and began scrolling through your TikTok feed. Your eyes felt heavy as you watched the trends and fancams scroll by. Time seemed to slow and eventually it felt like it stopped all together as your head fell back on the arm of the couch and your phone dropped from your hand. Your eyes closed and you drifted off to sleep. 
…….
-Where am I- you asked yourself. The world felt hazy and unrecognizable. You lifted your head, confused and dazed. This is a dream, it has to be, you thought. Looking around, you were in a small room, a laptop and briefcase on a table in front of you. Why did this all seem so familiar to you? It was like you’d seen it on T.V. or the internet before. The orange walls and black chairs felt like a distant memory you couldn’t quite reach. The clock in the corner caught your eye. 2:30 am. Damn, that’s late, you thought. You stood up from the black swivel chair you were sitting in and a wave of exhaustion hit you like a bus. Your hands landed on the table in front of you as your vision went blurry. That’s odd, you’d never felt anything like this in a dream before. Was it even possible to feel tired while asleep? You looked down at your hands on the table. That couldn’t be right. Those weren’t your hands. The hands in front of you were male, a few rings adorned their fingers. Panicked, you looked around the room for anything with a reflective surface so you could see yourself. The silver of the briefcase was too dull, and the room had no windows. Suddenly you heard a knock at the door. 
“Hey man it’s late we should go home.” The voice sounded so familiar, but you couldn;t place it. It was weirdly deep, and was that an accent? You opened your mouth to reply-
…….
You jolted up from the couch to find a very impatient Mozzie staring up from your lap waiting to be fed his prompt 7:00 am breakfast. You rubbed your stomach where he had crash landed on you. That was a wild dream, you thought. You’d never experienced something that felt so real before. What was it that people called it? Lucid dreaming? You shrugged your shoulders and turned your attention to your day ahead. You emerged from your couch cocoon and trudged over to the kitchen, Mozzie following close behind. While getting his breakfast you threw on a playlist and began your early 2000’s movie worthy, get ready montage.
…….
CHAN
Chris stumbled into his room, dropped his briefcase on the ground and collapsed on his bed. He buried his face in his pillow, exhaustion hitting him like a brick wall. He could hear a small groan coming from one of his room mates across the room. Rolling over he pulled his comforter up to crash for the night, or whatever was left of it. He needed to stop getting old. It was getting harder and harder to pull these all nighters. His body felt heavy and head hurt from staying up too long. His eyes barely open, he reached over to his phone, 4:00 am it read. He plugged it in and his head dropped back to his pillow.
…….
Chris opened his eyes and found himself staring at a kitchen stove, eggs quickly crisping in front of him. He quickly turned off the burner and moved the pan before it started smoking. He looked around the room, a small apartment? Were the members playing a joke on him? Was he still dreaming? The apartment was small but bright. Sun filtered in from the windows and danced on contemporary furniture. The hardwood floors felt cold under his feet. He had lucid dreams before, but this felt oddly real. He ran his fingers through his long hair. Wait long? He looked around the room and spotted a mirror by the front door. He quickly ran to it.
 Okay now he knows he must be dreaming. In the mirror staring back at him was a girl, long hair, and bright eyes. He crossed his arms over his chest confused, He looked down surprised at how real he felt. He uncrossed them quickly as he felt heat in his cheeks. This was not what he meant when he said he wanted to join the committee. He’d never seen her before, maybe a face in the crowd or a fan. He’d see so many people everyday it was hard to remember. 
A sudden meow made him jump. Fear is normal in a dream right? That’s what nightmares are, he assured himself. He looked over to the counter to see a fluffy black and white cat perched staring at him with big blue eyes. 
“Well hello there,” He played with the tag around the feline’s neck. “Mozzie, that’s a cute name.”
…….
Chris awakened to pillows being thrown at him from across the room. He groaned, stretching and sitting up to see Hyunjin who was probably about ready to shake him awake.  
“Come on Chan hyung, we gotta go in a bit.” Chris groaned and looked at his phone. His reflection in the mirror showed his own face looking back at him. He sighed of relief knowing he was himself again. 
“Alright, I’ll be there in a few.” He stood up ready to begin their schedule filled day. He rubbed his head, he could barely remember being at JYP last night. One minute he was working the next Felix was dragging him home. And what was with that dream. He didn’t think he’d ever lucid dreamt not as himself, but he supposed it wasn’t impossible.
…….
Y/N
Your eyes couldn’t stare at your computer anymore. You couldn’t tell if it was the fluorescent lighting or the numbers on your screen, but your head felt like it was going to explode. Today felt like a blur. You could barely even remember getting ready this morning. You looked around your small little cubicle. You supposed it wouldn’t hurt to rest my eyes super quickly. You pushed your keyboard aside and laid your head down on your desk.
…….
Your surroundings were different this time. You were in a big space, what looked like a stage maybe? Your concert dreams sometimes felt vivid, but this was more vivid than being at a concert. The lights, the people, it felt too real. You looked down at your hands, they were the same from last night. Your outfit was noticeably different too, boots, black skinny jeans, and grey T-shirt. 
“Hey, Chan-hyung! Come on, it's time to practice. Dude are you okay?” You looked suddenly up from your hands to see a very concerned Kim Seungmin. This is definitely a dream right? “Hyung are you okay?”
“Uh, yeah I’m fine.” You said, but the voice wasn’t yours. Instead of your voice, a much deeper aussie accented voice came from your mouth. So, you were dreaming you were Bang Chan? Your dreams kept on getting weirder and weirder. 
“Come on hyung.” Seungmin grabbed your arm and pulled you up toward the stage. Much like the exhaustion last night you were surprised by how real his hand felt on your wrist. You could feel his grip on your forearm. When you reached the stage a staff member handed you both a microphone and ushered you onto the large performance area. Here the other members of Stray Kids sat waiting for you both.
“Alrighty let’s get this show on the road, we’re doing Levanter right?” Asked Changbin.
“Yeah, that and Double Knot.” Jisung called out. Your heart raced and you froze.. Levanter, Double Knot? Sure you knew the songs, but did you KNOW them. You did a silent prayer that your dream self knew what they were doing and lined up with the other boys.  
Thankfully you knew more than you thought and you performed the songs almost perfectly. It almost felt like you had done it a thousand times before as lyrics flowed from your mouth on cue, and your body moved to the music. Maybe you’d binged watched performances too many times and it was now stuck in your head. As you sat down on the stage your breathing was heavy. And was that sweat? Did someone turn up the temperature in the office? A phone fell out of your pocket. Facial recognition opened it. Looking through the apps you found Instagram. The Straykids official account? This could be fun. You held up your phone and snapped a quick selfie. In the caption you wrote “Can’t wait to see you Stay. #bangchan #LoveStay🐺” Here’s a gift dream Stays, you smiled, laying down and closing your eyes.
…….
Ding! Your head shot up from your desk. You could feel marks on your face left from the bumps in your sweater. Blinking the tiredness from your eyes you quickly peeked your head around to see if anyone had noticed you were asleep. Thankfully no one was really paying attention. You looked over at the source that disturbed your napping. When the screen lit up you were surprised to see a notification, @realstraykids posted. You slid the notification open and immediately dropped your phone on the ground. You scrambled to pick it up, your hands shaking. The loaded post was a selfie of Bang Chan and the caption read, “Can’t wait to see you Stay. #bangchan #lovestay 🐺”. What did this mean??
…….
CHAN
Practice was exhausting. At least Chris thought it was. It all seemed to pass by in a blur. One second he was getting ready backstage and the next he was collapsed on the floor after performing.  Maybe he was just tired? He wasn’t sure. It felt like he had woken up this morning more sleepy than when he went to bed if that was even possible. He rubbed the back of his neck and turned towards his kids. 
“Alright, everyone has to be back at JYP by four, got it?” They nodded and one by one stood up to go rest until their performance that evening. After they had left Chris trudged his way back to his studio where he hoped he could get some peace and quiet to nod off for a few hours.
…….
When Chan awoke he was back in the same apartment laying on the couch in the open plan living, kitchen, dining, everything space. He looked down. Yup same girl. He got up and began looking around for clues as to who she was. Her decorating style was simple, but trendy. There were a lot of potted plants on the window sills, monochrome grey furniture with accent throw pillows and blankets, and fairy lights that hung from the ceiling on the walls. 
He turned a corner into a small bedroom. It had the same style as the space outside, but something caught his eye. Over on one wall was a set of shelves adorned with pictures, Polaroids, knick knacks, books, and music albums. Chris wandered over to view the collection. He smiled as he focused on one particular shelf. This shelf held albums that were yellow, red, grey, and purple. He recognized the designs he had put his own input into.  The light stick they had worked so hard on. On that shelf sat a Polaroid that had a very familiar face on it, his own. He smiled to himself, so you’re a Stay huh?   
 …….
Y/N
As you relaxed into your seat on the bus you stared at the ticket in your hand. Maybe if you asked him about it he would know, or he’d think you were absolutely delusional. You shook your head, you were lucky enough to get into this fansign. You weren’t sure it was worth the risk of sounding crazy, not only in front of Bang Chan, but possibly other members as well. You gripped the letter you had written him tightly in your hand. The whole situation made your stomach queasy just thinking about it. You had been nervous enough to sit in front of them and actually have to talk to them, but with this on top of that your nerves were on a whole other level. You shook your head and pushed the thought aside. You were finally going to a Stray Kids fansign you should be excited and happy. You placed your letter into your album and stared out the window, hoping your nerves would begin to settle.
…….
CHAN
Chris took his seat in his chair ready for another evening with stays. He sat at the long table at the front of the room. It had been decorated to match their latest album. There were about a hundred chairs lined up neatly all the way to the back of the room. In each one sat a lucky Stay that was there to greet them. He was excited he was getting to see Stay again, they always gave him a smile and made his heart a little lighter. Although, he was a bit more tired than usual. These strange lucid dreams he’d been having really didn’t make for restful sleep. He hoped it wouldn’t affect his performance today and that Stays didn’t notice. He’d hate to make them worry. JYP staff began assisting fans lining them up to get ready to sit with each member. There were a lot of people here today. With each and every comeback their gatherings seemed to grow more and more, and the venues increased in size. 
It was like any other fansign. He sat and smiled and shared a brief moment with each and every Stay in front of him. A few Stays mentioned they hoped he was resting enough, but not too many, he assured them he was and that was that. He held their hands and laughed with them, and smiled for his fansites' cameras. Everything was going off without a hitch.
The last group was getting ready to stand in line to see them, when Chris did a double take. A wisp of long hair and a nervous smile had caught his attention. He shook his head. Minho, who was seated next to him, shot him a look of confusion. Chris shook his head and mouthed that it was nothing, but he couldn’t keep himself from peering over at a familiar head of hair in line. He did his best to focus on the stays in front of him, however in between he couldn’t help but glance over as she made her way closer and closer to him.
…….
Y/N
Your hands couldn’t stop shaking as you got closer and closer in line to see the members. At least he wasn’t the first one so you could relax a little. The line seemed to move so quickly, would seconds be enough? You’d never been to a fansign before. You thought about the letter you had stashed in the back of your album, there’s no way you could sneak that to him. You were going to have to hope for the best. 
“Miss?” You snapped out of it to see a staff member waving you over as it was your turn.
The first member was Changbin. He smiled a sweet smile at you and said hello. You spoke for a moment, commenting on how cute his hair was. And you moved on to Hyuinjin and the process repeated. Then Jisung, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N.. 
Everything was going smoothly until you reached Minho. He was right before Chan and you could feel your nervousness creeping back up on you now that he was so close. Your hands began to shake again and you could feel the heat rising in your cheeks. You did your best to muster up a hello to Minho. He smiled at you, a little concerned he took your hand.
“Are you alright?” He asked. Your eyes flashed to him then quickly to Chan and the down at the table. He leaned in a little closer to you so only you could hear. “Don’t worry, there's no need to be nervous, I promise he won’t bite.” You looked back up at him and he winked at you. You smiled at him and thanked him before standing and moving to sit in front of Chan.
…….
CHAN
Chris smiled and waved goodbye to the Stay in front of him. Reaching behind him to grab a bottle of water and began to greet the next Stay. “Hello there, how are y-” His sentence stopped, It was her, the girl from the dream. He remembered her long flowing hair, her eyes, and her smile. Chris felt frozen in time. She was prettier in person. It was different looking at her face to face instead of in front of a mirror.
“Hi Chan, it’s nice to finally meet you.” She said with a smile. “It’s almost like a dream.”
“Hi there,” Chris paused hesitantly, wanting to ask about what she knew, but worried she wouldn’t believe him. “You remind me of someone I’ve seen in a dream.” Her eyes widened a little.
“Really? I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t had a few dreams about you.” She looked like she wanted to say more, but her mouth closed and she looked at me expectantly. 
“What’s your name?” He asked.
“It’s Y/N.” Chris chuckled to himself. “What?”
“Nothing, it’s just, I’ve been trying to figure that out since the moment I saw you.” She blushed, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. “You look tired, have you been sleeping okay?” He asked.
“I could say the same about you, but I’ve been having weird dreams lately,” She paused. “Dreams that I was you.” Chris smiled. “I dreamt about your rehearsals today actually. In the dream I was scared I wouldn’t know Levanter or Double Knot.” She laughed.
Chris looked up at her confused. He thought back to last night and earlier this afternoon. The pieces of his memories that were blurry, the end of the night at the studio, the Instagram post he didn’t remember posting, and the songs that no one except the members and the staff knew they were performing later on this evening. Could it be this was a two way street? Chris looked behind him, making sure the staff weren’t paying attention. He took his pen and wrote something down in her album. 
“Well, I hope to see you again. Maybe we’ll meet in our dreams.” He smiled and waved goodbye as she went to go take her seat in the audience. He kept a close eye on her as she carefully opened her album and read what he wrote. 
…….
Y/N
Did that really just happen? You were so nervous you could barely even hint on what you wanted to ask him. Your hands were still shaking and your heart was racing a million miles a minute. Probably better you didn’t or he would’ve thought you were crazy. You were happy you got to speak to him at least. You made your way back to your seat and carefully opened your album. You flipped slowly through it until you reached the page he had written in. Reading it made your heart almost beat out of your chest. You looked back up to him still on stage, still looking at you, with a comforting but knowing smile. 
Y/N,
 I hope we get to see each other in our dreams again. And maybe when we’re awake too. I’m sorry you had to endure our rehearsals instead of me today. Say hello to Mozzie for me. 
-Bang Chan

todoroki shouto x first time pregnant!reader
warning: pure fluff!!!
Part Two  Part Three  Part Four
Tumblr media
Pregnancy can be a beautiful thing, and in this case, it typically was.
The day you had found out you were pregnant you could not stop crying, immediately calling Shouto, your loving husband of two years, to bear the good news. While giving you an initial scare by immediately hanging up on you when spilling the news, you were relieved to find him next to you in five minutes with a bouquet of your favorite flowers and misty eyes.
You could still remember holding him tightly as you two hugged as tears fell down your face as you whispered to Shouto that it was real and that he was going to make an amazing parent.
That was exactly thirty-nine weeks ago, and now being an entire week overdue with the same raging pregancy hormones, you wanted this baby out of you!
You were a Pro-Hero before this baby, and you planned on staying a Pro-Hero once the sucker was born. Through a lot of pressure from family, friends, and mostly Shouto, you had agreed to spend the your pregnancy with your alumni U.A. and teach Hero Basics even though you would not be participating in any actual lessons as soon as you couldn’t see your toes anymore.
So there you sat at home, your swollen feet elevated on pillows as a heated blanket lay over your simultaneous cold and hot body, dumb hormones were making you crazy. You were overdue, and you were ready to quite literally kick this baby out of you. Were you excited to be a mother, definitely, but this child seemed to be tap dancing on your bladder like it was life or death.
“Relax, tenshi,” You whispered to your baby, rubbing your swollen belly as you grimaced as a terrible heat flash went throughout your body, “Are you seriously craving donuts right now? We just had an early dinner!” You gasped as images of the sugary sweet dessert flashed through your mind making your mouth water.
“Okay, you convinced me!” You laugh, it took you a while, but soon you managed to squirm off the couch and onto your feet only after two minutes. “That’s a new record, I should tell Shouto…”
How you used to be an S-Rank Pro-Hero you had no idea because now you couldn’t even put on shoes without assistance. “Mama is gonna cry when she has to get back into shape. You made me so fat!” You coo softly to yourself as you waddled over to your purse and grabbed it.
Checking yourself in the mirror, you groaned. Your face was so round that it officially beat Uraraka’s for roundest face in the old class 1-A. You wore a maxi sundress even though it was still February because nothing else fits! Well, sweaty old XXL shirts did but it just was not acceptable in public! Slipping on your sandals, you yelled goodbye to no one in the house and waddled out to buy some donuts.
You eventually made it to the donut shop with drool just about coming down your mouth as you entered the store.
“Ah, Todoroki-sama, I was wondering if you were going to be coming in at all today!” The owner greeted you with a bow as you laughed easily.
“My little Tenshi got his little donut cravings really late tonight, Takashima-sama you wound me, your best customer would never disappoint!” You teased back, your face contorted into a grimace as you clutched your swollen belly, waddling closer to the counter with your wallet ready.
“This one is on the house,” The store owner Takashima said, sliding over a box of half a dozen maple bars.
You teared up, accepting the box while sobbing, and left a generous tip as you went to sit down. Calming down slowly, you groaned as you placed the box down and froze.
Why was your leg wet?
You looked down, hands waving with heightened anxiety and shrieked, “ TAKASHIMA-SAMA, MY WATER BROKE!”
⋆✭⋆✭⋆⋆✭⋆✭⋆
Twenty minutes away via car stood Todoroki Shouto walking down the crowded streets of Tokyo with Midoriya and Iida. The three of them had finished working together for a promo radio interview and were now patrolling near their agencies.
“You know, I’ve really come to miss y/l/n-chan walking around with us,” Iida confessed as he waved to a young fan who was pointing him out to his mother.
“It’s Todoroki, Iida-kun,” Midoriya reminds Iida for the millionth time, but knows that no amount of reminding will ever get Iida to not call you by your maiden name.
“Y/n will be back soon after of course, she feels ready to return to the field,” Shouto says silently agreeing with the fact that he missed having his wife with him while working, it had to be the worst thing about you getting pregnant by far. 
“Is she not overdue for the baby, as well? Don’t most pregnancies last only thirty-eight weeks?” Iida questioned as they stopped to take pictures with an obvious American fan.
“Y/n’s ob-gyn doctor said we shouldn’t worry, but that if by the end of the week if y/n hasn’t given birth naturally, she’ll need a c-section,” Shouto explained as he pulled out his phone feeling it buzzing. He saw your contact picture, a celebratory picture of you after finishing a rather intense hiking trail during your honeymoon. “It’s y/n.”
The two of them nod their head as they watched Shouto pick the phone to his ear as he turned around to give himself some privacy. Shouto spoke once, nodded three times and hung up after giving his love.
“Well, y/n is in labor, and I need to get going,” Shouto says eerily calm, his arms stiff by his side, and Midoriya just about jumps out of his skin.
“SHE’S IN LABOR?! OH MY GOD, I’M NOT READY!!”
“Do not panic, Midoriya-kun, it is Todoroki who is going to be the father, not you.” Iida reminds Midoriya who is looking in every direction trying to figure out a game plan for getting to the hospital.
“I KNOW THAT! BUT I–” Midoriya stops and looks over at Shouto who is visibly panicking. “Todoroki-kun, are you okay?”
“There are no more trains back to Musutafu until 21:00,” Todoroki says carefully and to their horror, it’s only 18:30. “Even if we take a car, we could be late.”
“No!” Iida and Midoriya yell.
“I’ll get you there on time!” Midoriya affirms turning his back to Shouto. “Get on!”
With a crackle of lighting, and the shout of “RECIPRO BURST” the three Pro-Heroes were gone without a trace.
⋆✭⋆✭⋆⋆✭⋆✭⋆
“It hurts!” You scream in pain as contraction after contraction plummets through you, obviously, your baby had no care in the world that 1. mama was in a hell lot of pain and 2. papa wasn’t here yet so you weren’t going to let him leave your womb.
“Todoroki-sama, you need to push! You’re going to get yourself or the baby hurt!” Your doctor yells obviously worried as you clenched your legs tightly together.
“I’m not having this baby without S-Shoucchan here!” You cry as the pain is quickly becoming unbearable.
“Y/n, I’m here!” A very frazzled looking Shouto walks through the delivery room, his body clothed in medical scrubs his face showing his fear and love. You giggle a bit like a lunatic seeing a few leaves stuck in his hair finding it amusing despite the pain.
“Midoriya and Iida brought y-yOU!?” You screamed again as your body is now fighting you on letting your baby come out.
You look up and see Shouto now at your bedside, his hand clutching yours as the doctor commands a few nurses to get things ready. “I was scared I was going to miss this…” Shouto admits as you clench his hand in yours as another painful contraction sears your body.
“You’re not missing anything!” You can’t help but snap as you throw your head back, a thin sheen of sweat covering your body. “Get this baby oUT OF ME!” You shriek at the doctor who has now positioned your legs for delivery.
“Alright, Todoroki-sama, I need you to push for ten seconds, okay?”
“OKAY!!”
And Shouto watched as his wife only tightened her death grip on his hands, curses leaving her lips left and right as she pushed with all her might. He stared over at the doctor who he knew was screaming at his stubborn wife to follow his commands, but he could hear nothing besides the roar of his heartbeat in his ears.
Shouto can’t stop himself from leaning over and pressing a kiss on your sweating forehead as you scream louder to get the baby out of you. Then, Shouto can hear a soft cry. His eyes widen as he watches the pink, white, and bloody baby being held by the doctor and all he can hear is the baby’s cries and the exhausted pants from you.
He looks down to find you slumping in the bed, your hair a complete mess, sweat drenching your body, and tears falling down your face.
“Shoucchan,” You murmur, and immediately Shouto is attending to you, wiping off the sweat, fluffing your pillow and kissing you a million times as both your shaking hands hold each other. “Baby, you’re crying.” You inform him with a weak but incredibly affectionate smile.
Shouto wipes away the tears that fall down his face, only to find himself crying, even more. The nurse eventually brings your guys’ small baby boy over to the two of you and gently handed him to you, and you cradle your baby close to your body. “Hi Kaito,” You coo at the baby who was now soundlessly sleeping on your chest, “I’m your mama, and I just want you to know that even though you were a pain in my ass, I love you so much…” 
Shouto snorts as you look up at him and smile, and he comes down to press another kiss on your lips. “Come here, Shoucchan,” You say handing your son over to him, and watched as your husband froze. You waited a moment and then grinned as Shouto reached for baby Kaito and you easily handed him over. You watched with tears in your eyes as Shouto gently bounced with Kaito in his arms, whispering about how much he was going to love him, and how he was going to make Kaito proud to be his son.
“I promise, Kaito, I will never ever let you or your beautiful mama get hurt, and I promise you no matter what happens, I will love you forever and always.”
this made me really soft and kinda was like “maybe pregnancy isn’t that bad???” anywho, hope you enjoyed and have a good rest of your day!!!!!
bonus!
The entire old Class 1-A shuffled through the hallways of the hospital, each claiming to see a different patient so that they could all visit your room.
“Okay, just in case you bozo’s don’t know how to behave around babies, do not scream when we walk in. They are shits to be put to bed, and if you wake up y/n-chan’s sleeping baby, I will end you!” Mina threatens as she eyes down the… louder members of the class. “Second of all, it’s a baby, so don’t talk to it expecting answers, and most importantly, do not. I repeat, do NOT, throw the baby around like it’s some game!”
She gave an obviously pointed glare at Kaminari.
“I’m so excited!” Momo squeals right before they open the door, and with numerous amounts of presents and balloons on hand, nineteen Pro-Heroes entered the room and froze. The sight in front of them making them speechless. Shouto was laying on the bed with you, his arm behind you giving you comfort, and the baby laying on your chest asleep. For the matter at hand, all three of you were asleep without a care in the world.
Some members of the party had to bite down on their hands to keep them from screaming.
Later that night when Shouto woke up for a few minutes and checked his phone for any messages, he then saw a picture of the three of them asleep on the hospital bed on the group chat, with a caption:
‘What a beautiful family, can’t wait for more pictures! Welcome to the family Todoroki Kaito! We love you!’
