#i feel like janis ian with you people
Text
i haven't been able to let go of glass onion (in a bad way) bc there's just something so frustrating about it and earlier today, i was trying to explain it to my brother and i said something about it feeling like "baby(aka rian) just saw get out and wants to write an equally clever script but for some reason it's also a murder mystery" and like. i think i got there. i think my main problem is how heavy handed everything is. but it's acting like it's so subtle and cool and smarT. saying "millionaire is bad bc he's dumb, actually!" is so lazy. saying "haha influencer thinks sweatshops make sWEATpants" is lazy. whatever the fuck he was saying about duke, the "haha alt-right man lives in mama's basement and is bullied by her hahaha" is lazy ?!?!?!?
get out(as my example of an actual clever movie) was smart because when you watch a second time you're like "oh shit that's why he said he couldn't bare to let them go after his parents died. he MEANT HIS PARENTS ANd NOT THE HELP" but in glass onion, a second viewing would just be you sitting there like "that's not actually andi, that's helen." that's not clever ?!?!?!?!?
#i'm convinced i would have enjoyed glass onion if they had shown us that andi was dead from the start#and cut between helen & blanc and the dickheads throughout#like. the “terminally online in 2020” references would have still annoyed me a lOT#but i would have watched it and been like 'sure whatever'#instead of 3 days of 'why the fuck did he exposition the entire fucking plot at me after i wasted an hour' 😠#i hate when a writer of a movie makes the audience feel stupid for watching their movie and buying what they showed us#it's not CLEVER that this woman was actually her secret sister all along!#that's lazy writing#i get so riled up abt this bc you know how much hype this is all buying rian sdfghfdsfg johnson?#every time this white mediocrity gets swallowed up by people en masse#i feel so sad for the good stories we won't get to see from miniorities#like. one rich white straight man writes some 'quirky leftist oneliners' and it's like we're back in the height of the mcu fandom#but now everyone thinks it's progressive bc it's making fun of unwoke people or 'elon musk'#i also hate how much rian's writing makes it seem like all these horrific rich people are bad bc they're dumb#i'm gonna go watch get out a 50th time and maybe some day glass onion will not be on my dash and then#i won't have to have a stroke abt it#i feel like janis ian with you people#the 'did you hang with AWESOME people and drink AWEOMSE shoooters?????' but it's about glass onion#i don't care if people enjoy it#i care that people genuinely think it's smart or good#i love bad movies#i love practically every early 2000s romcom#maid in manhattan is not a masterpiece just bc i love and enjoy it#i'm gonna go watch maid in manhattan and cry sdfvvds

Enjoy!
 “Janis, calm down, for god’s sake. You’re gonna pace a literal trench into the ground,” Damian voiced from the kitchen table, chuckling at seeing how uncharacteristically nervous his best friend was. The ravenette jutted her chin over to face him with a scowl at his comment, though concern still riddled her features, creasing her brows as she scoffed. “How am I supposed to calm down? You know damn well how long I’ve liked this girl, and you know I’ve wanted to ask her out for years now. If this doesn’t go right, and she doesn’t feel the same way, I-I don’t know what I’ll do.”
Cady, who had no idea who the two were talking about, watched the scene before her as she stood behind the island in the kitchen, her nails tapping anxiously at her plastic cup that she hadn’t taken a sip from since Janis left her seat. “Well,” the redhead started with a stutter, unsure of what to say. She hadn’t known Damian or Janis for very long, but even she was visibly surprised at how worried the goth seemed to be. “Maybe you should just focus on the positive?” Before Janis could bite back with a snarky retort, Damian chimed in again to agree. “Yeah, that’s what a lot of the group has to do for theater. It’s supposed to help with the nerves or something.”
An annoyed groan slipped through Janis’s lips as she ran her hands down her face. “Look, I know I shouldn’t be overthinking things, but it’s hard not to, okay? She just…she means so much to me. I don’t wanna make things awkward between us and lose her as a friend. I’ve known her longer than I’ve known you,” she said, lifting her hand to wave it in Damian’s direction, “and I just can’t lose all of that because of some stupid crush.”
At that statement, Cady left her spot behind the counter, setting her cup to the side to step closer to Janis and place a gentle hand to her shoulder. She had no idea how to comfort other people–she was still getting used to it–but she had seen girls in the hallway at school do similar things when talking, so she figured it was worth a shot. “Hey, look, I don’t know this girl, but if she caught your eye and makes you happy, then I don’t think that’s stupid. Do you really think that?” A moment passed with Janis glancing between the girl beside her and the hand still on her shoulder.
She let out a small sigh after a while, a defeated look forming on her face. “No, I guess not, but still. What if–” “Don’t focus on what ifs, okay? That’s what’s making you so nervous right now.” Again, Janis seemed at war with herself, though more confused about Cady’s sudden comfort. She chuckled quietly and nudged the redhead’s hand from her shoulder. “Since when did you know how to comfort people like that?” Cady laughed at herself with a shrug. “Honestly? Most of it is from what I’ve seen from those weird teen romance movies people told me to watch.”
The two of them shared a smile before Janis turned away, thinking silently to herself. Before Damian or Cady could ask if she was alright, she turned back to them, a genuine grin finally painting her lips. “Okay, okay, I’ll try to stay positive. But I’ve never confessed to anyone before, so–as much as I hate to say it–I’m gonna need the two of you to help.”
Tumblr media
Somewhere along the way, while multiple suggestions were being thrown out for Janis’s confession, someone in the trio mentioned asking her to the prom, which was right around the corner. Janis was hesitant, voicing her concern about people making fun of her and [Y/N] for being “gay in public” like they often did to her alone–thanks to Regina. It took a little convincing, but she ultimately agreed.
Although she agreed to go to the prom with [Y/N], if she accepted, she managed to persuade Damian and Cady into letting her confess and ask her privately to avoid everything being ruined by one of her bullies.
She hated cheesy romance, and she especially hated cliches, but she was willing to step outside of her comfort zone if it meant she could be with the girl she loved. Over the weekend, they threw together a messy plan. Damian brought [Y/N] to a seemingly random field after school one day, which made [Y/N] genuinely wonder if she had said her final goodbyes ahead of time. Janis, who had managed to get the day off from work after classes, was waiting there for her, which instantly eased her spiked nerves. She led her to a more remote location after Damian drove off. After a couple minutes of walking, Janis finally stepped to the side to reveal a small setup that was mainly put together by Cady.
Underneath a large oak tree rested a thin checkered blanket, topped with a basket packed full with pastries, drinks, and small sandwiches. To the side, a large sign was strung up between one of the branches of the tree and an adjacent metal rod that was once a tetherball pole. In large letters, decorated with doodles and drawings that were very clearly made by Janis, was the question she hadn’t even known she would ever ask.
Will you go to prom with me?
The two of them sat down after [Y/N]’s initial shock wore off. Janis began unpacking the woven basket to avoid eye contact as she asked what her answer was, hinting that she was wanting to take their relationship to the next level. [Y/N] chuckled at her, prompting her small amount of confidence to begin crumbling. “Janis, I’m gonna be honest, I already thought we were dating, so I thought going to the prom together was a given.”
Never in her life had Janis grinned so wide.
They spent the rest of the day together, ending it with Janis sketching [Y/N] still sitting beside her and talking about their plans for the dance before Damian finally pulled back up to drive the two of them home. [Y/N] was first to be dropped off, leaving Damian and Cady, who was invited in case the confession went either way, to bombard the goth with endless questions about how it went. Completely lovestruck and excited, Janis held no irritation or annoyance in her tone at the questions she would’ve usually greeted with venom.
Upon seeing his best friend so thrilled about the events that had happened only a couple of hours prior, Damian seemed far more excited about the two getting together than Janis did. He not-so-jokingly started planning what songs they should play at their wedding and what kind of suit Janis should wear. The ravenette brushed him off with a playful shake of her head and shove, though the smile never left her face. The rest of the ride to drop her and Cady off separately, all she could think about is what [Y/N] would look like in a wedding dress, walking down the aisle towards her--how she would look wearing a band she gave her. Then she got to thinking of prom.
What kind of dress would she wear then?
Tumblr media
Shortly after the confession, Janis and [Y/N] started to hang out far more often than they already did. There was a small tension between them, both too awkward to know what to do, though it was far from unbearable. Whenever there would be a long, outstretched period of silence, they’d usually bring up random memories they had made together, unsure of what else to speak of.
Three days before prom, the two of them managed to find a random movie neither of them had seen before. They bundled up together in [Y/N]’s bed as they watched it, snacking on a large bowl of popcorn that was washed down with the soda they had bought when they met up. Halfway through the film, which struggled to keep their attention anyway, [Y/N] turned to her girlfriend and tapped her shoulder. Janis turned to her and hummed curiously.
“I’ve been thinking about what to wear for prom, but I really don’t know what I should. I mean, I’ve never gone to a school dance before, so…never had to shop for a dress for one, y’know?” The goth nodded at her. “Yeah, I know. I’ve never been to one either–not with someone else anyway. But I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing some fancy-ass dress. Skirt? Maybe, but only if it’s long enough to cover my legs all the way. Don’t wanna be mistaken for the Plastics after all. By the way, have you noticed that Karen’s skirts are getting, like, half an inch shorter every single week?”
[Y/N] chuckled at her comment, making her smile without realizing it. “Hey, don’t speak too soon. Next thing you know, she’s gonna be walking around in bikini underwear.” Janis shrugged with a laugh of her own. “I don’t know, she kinda already is. I wouldn’t put it past her.”
They snickered at the remark. When she quieted down again, [Y/N] shuffled over to let her head rest on top of Janis’s shoulder, making the girl tense lightly and blush at the sudden contact. “But anyway, I was thinking. Now that I know that neither of us has ever really done this before, maybe we could try to surprise each other? Make it that much more memorable.” The goth hummed, finally letting her own head drop down to rest on top of [Y/N]’s.
“Yeah, that’d be cool. Not entirely sure if I’d be able to find something that would make me look as good as you will.” Playfully, [Y/N] let her hand gently smack Janis’s abdomen. “Hey, don’t sell yourself short. You’re beautiful–always have been.” Janis turned away shyly at that, her free arm coming up far enough to let her scratch the back of her neck. “Oh, I don’t know about that.” They argued back and forth for a bit about who’s prettier, and eventually stopped when they yawned. “I'm pretty sure I’m gonna crash, but don’t think this is over,” Janis teased, scooting up further on the bed to allow herself to lay her head down properly on her pillow. “It is. I win. You’re prettier,” [Y/N] replied, mirroring her motions.
They murmured to each other as they slowly fell asleep, still telling the other that they were prettier.
Days passed, and it was finally the day of the prom. Janis had chosen a suit in shades of black and purple, tying her hair up in a more formal fashion. She had planned on heading home before the prom to have time to get changed and steel her nerves, though she and Damian ended up sitting on one of the stairwells towards the main rear entrance to the school. The cool tile beneath them made Janis shiver and move to tuck her skirt further underneath her legs.
The two of them seemed to talk mindlessly about anything and everything. Neither of them realized what time it was until Damian finally looked up at one of the clocks hanging up towards the ceiling. “Oh shit,” he mumbled, looking down at his watch to confirm. Janis checked the clock as well, cursing under her breath as she moved to stand. A hand gripped her wrist firmly and tugged her back down. She looked over at her friend in confusion. “What the hell, man? I’ve gotta get back to my house to get changed.”
“Yeah, don’t worry about that. I actually brought your suit here in my car because I knew we were gonna stay late.” Now completely puzzled, Janis tilted her head. “You knew? What the fuck is this?” Damian smirked. “Yeah, [Y/N] and I planned a surprise. I wanted you to see her ahead of time. Her dress?” He pinched his fingers together and pressed them to his lips, kissing the tips of them before pulling his hand away and spreading his fingers wide. “Incredible. You’re gonna love it.” “You mean you’ve already seen it?” “Yeah, but only by itself. I haven’t seen her wear it yet. I know you’re gonna be blown away though. It’s pretty simple, but it’s definitely your style.”
“And that’s how you know I’m gonna like it, huh?” Damian nodded and grinned pridefully, crossing his arms and glancing back up at the time. “Yep. And she should be here any minute now.”
As if on cue, [Y/N]’s form emerged from the nearest hallway. With how Janis was angled, she couldn’t see her yet, but Damian could. His smile widened at the sight of her. “Holy shit,” he mumbled. “Yeah, you’re definitely gonna love it.” He could already picture his best friend’s reaction before she had it.
With now spiked nerves, Janis slowly turned her head at the sound of footsteps. Her mouth hung slightly agape as more and more of her girlfriend came into view, a deep shade of crimson dusting her cheeks as she froze. As the two of them made eye contact, [Y/N] shyly pulled her arm from behind her back to wave. “Hey,” she managed to whisper. Slowly, Janis rose to her feet to be closer to eye-level. Her green eyes traveled down [Y/N]’s figure, admiring the dress. As Damian had said, it was a fairly simple design: a black lace dress with extra fringe on the hem, which draped down to end about an inch or two above her knees. To match, she wore black dress shoes with small heels built in, basic floral designs etched into the toes.
A small chuckle managed to snap Janis out of whatever trance she stayed in for what felt like forever. She didn’t glance over to look, but she knew that it was Damian once she felt an elbow gently nudge her arm. “Damn, Janis. I’ve never seen you speechless like this before,” he teased, snickering when the ravenette could only blink in response, her gaze never leaving [Y/N].
“Holy shit, you look…” She managed to step forward and gently take [Y/N]’s hands into her own, her eyes once again studying her outfit and figure. “You look amazing. That dress looks perfect on you.” Shyly, [Y/N] smiled wider and lowered her head to hide the growing shade of red across her face. “Oh, thanks. I tried to think of what you might like, and this was pretty much all I could find on such short notice. I’m glad you like it.”
As Janis struggled to wrack her brain for something else to say to break the silence, Damian slipped away to his car, snatching the goth’s suit from the backseat and bringing it back inside. When he found the two of them again, he gently poked Janis’s arm, smirking as he watched her struggle to tear her eyes away to glance over at him. “I don’t know if you plan on going in that outfit or not, but the dance is supposed to start in fifteen minutes, so I’d suggest you suit up.”
Finally, Janis managed to nod and properly turn away to grab ahold of the suit. She murmured a quick, “be right back,” to [Y/N] before dashing to the nearest restroom to get changed. She had to mentally scream at herself to slow down so she wouldn’t accidentally tear or wrinkle the freshly pressed suit. Before leaving to find the two again, she checked herself in the mirror, quickly readjusting her hair into the neater bun it had been in all day. Her hands slid down her blazer to smooth it out even further. She sucked in a quick breath, glanced at her appearance once more, and finally left.
She met [Y/N], now alone, in front of the entrance to the auditorium, which had barely been opened within the past few minutes. A handful of students and staff had already made their way inside and started fixing themselves cups of the provided punch that centered itself in a bowl on a large table towards the side.
Before stepping inside, Janis gently took [Y/N]’s hand into her own and tugged her aside. In a whisper, she finally asked what she had been stressing about the entire time. “Are you sure you’re okay being seen with me? I mean, being seen together like this? I can understand if you don’t wanna deal with people treating you like shit because of it.” A confused tilt of the head was her response at first. “What do you mean?”
Janis sighed and glanced down at the floor beneath her. “You know. Like how Regina told everyone I like girls and how people call me–” she sucked in a breath to stop herself. “Certain names.” [Y/N] gently squeezed her hand in a reassuring motion. “Oh, I don’t care about all that. They can all fuck themselves, honestly. It’s none of their business.” Janis blinked, slightly caught off guard by the sudden use of language. [Y/N] hardly cussed so easily. It was usually hilarious to her when she did, but this time it felt strangely comforting.
She grinned softly. “So you really aren’t afraid to do this with me?” [Y/N] returned her smile. “No, not at all. I’d be proud to be seen with you.” Janis’s heart fluttered, a feeling she had long forgotten until the recent months when she finally realized just how serious her feelings were for this girl.
“Yeah,” she murmured. Her hand shifted a bit to allow her to interlock her fingers with [Y/N]’s. She squeezed her hand softly against her own palm, finally making eye contact again, accompanied with a far more confident smirk.
“I’d be proud to be seen with you too.”
Tumblr media
Just as the two of them had expected, there were several students who glanced at them with disapproving looks. It bothered Janis for a while when the dances began, but after [Y/N] managed to find a way to keep her attention on her, she was able to completely ignore her insecurities. A few fast-paced songs blared through the large speakers at the end of the room, leaving [Y/N] and Janis laughing as they struggled to keep up with the beat. Finally, the music began to slow, and Janis found herself pulling [Y/N] closer.
With her sheepishness left at the door, [Y/N] beamed up at the ravenette gleefully. She hummed and glanced down at the suit she was wearing. “I wasn’t able to say it earlier since we were trying to get in before everyone else, but you look so damn good in that suit,” she managed to say over the music. Even with its much slower pace, the song still reverberated loudly throughout the large room.
Janis couldn’t help but blush at the sudden bluntness of the compliment. She chuckled, glancing down for only a moment. “Thanks,” she mouthed, her suddenly shy tone too soft to be heard over the noise buzzing from the speakers the two of them had accidentally drifted too close to. Her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, wanting so desperately to free the outpour of compliments bubbling up in her throat. She finally gave up after realizing she wasn’t able to project loud enough in the moment, instead laughing and tugging [Y/N] even closer.
The two of them settled against each other as they swayed side to side. After glancing up at her to confirm that it was okay, [Y/N] gently lowered her head to rest against Janis’s shoulder, the tip of her nose barely grazing over the skin of the ravenette’s neck. A muffled shudder was her only response for a moment, though Janis’s head soon moved to lean against her own. The two closed their eyes just as Janis realized she could now speak audibly into [Y/N]’s ear. There, her lips parted to finally speak again.
“You know, I’m not one for surprises, but… I really am glad that we agreed to surprise each other tonight. You were right about it being more memorable.”
[Y/N] giggled and nodded. “Told you so.”
Janis playfully scoffed and rolled her eyes, though she still moved to press her lips gently against the girl’s temple. “Yeah, I guess you did.”

A/N: The song used in this chapter is by the amazing, incomparable Janis Ian. It's called Stars, and I'm attaching a link to the song here so you can listen to it and hopefully if you don't know it, fall as in love with it as I am.
WC: 1819
🎶 🎶 🎶
A weekend off in Santa Fe, Sam was ready to take a few days and recharge. To step out of the rockstar persona and come back to himself, even if just for seventy-two hours. He tossed his bags on the floor of his room and immediately went to the sliding door, pulling it open and looking over the balcony, down at the pool below. In the dry desert heat, he assumed people would be splashing away in the cool blue water, but it was quite the opposite. The sound of hundreds of window air conditioning units hummed and buzzed through the air, keeping the patrons of the hotel cool and locked up in their rooms. Sam welcomed the heat, tilting his head towards the sun and basking in the sun’s rays.
Sam was content to spend the day down by the abandoned pool, his short blue swim trunks making his tanned legs look even longer as he laid in the lounge chair, large aviators covering his eyes. His brothers filtered in and out of the area, as well as a few of the Blue Jean Babies, splashing in the pool and lounging around, drinking and smoking as they caused a ruckus. 
After a few hours of soaking up the sunshine and having had enough of the noise, he went back inside, padding up to his hotel room and drawing the curtains closed. Laying back on the bed, he let his warm body melt into the lumpy mattress and thin pillow, falling asleep in the mid-afternoon haze. 
He wasn’t sure how long he was out, but when he woke, it was pitch black in the room, save for the glowing red numbers on the alarm clock on the bedside table. Sam sat up, wincing as his head throbbed in argument of the movement. Rolling his head slowly in a circle, he listened to it crack, and pop and heard something else floating in the air. A guitar was being  played, perking up his ears at the soft melody. He stood slowly, his knees popping as he did, and he let his body stretch, his arms above his head as he wandered to the sliding door, and pulled back the curtain.
Light filtered out onto the balcony next door, and now that Sam was closer to the door, the guitar was a bit louder now, and a voice accompanied it.
“I was never one for singing, what I really feel. Except tonight, I'm bringing, everything I know that's real,” Harlow was sat cross-legged, hunched over a beat up ’68 Fender Palomino, a tattered journal in front of her on the balcony floor. Wisps of smoke floated up in the air around her from a small black ashtray, a half smoked cigarette resting in the holder. Her voice was softer and slower than he’d heard it before, and slightly unsure, as she worked through the song, re-strumming the same chord a few times and singing the same word, trying to figure out the song she was writing. He leaned against his doorframe, peeking out and watching her process. 
“Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey, but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
We can shake it away if you'll hear a story.”
Harlow let go of the guitar, leaning even more forward and grabbing up her pencil, scribbling in the journal. She was whispering to herself as she wrote, she paused, strumming a G chord, then a D6 before going back to scribbling.
“You know if you’re gonna watch, I’m gonna have to start charging you.” Harlow spoke without looking up. “A private performance costs a pretty penny these days.” Sam was caught off guard, he thought he had stayed in the darkness of his room, but found he was leaning out the doorway enough to make it obvious. 
“I’m sorry, I just-“
“It’s okay, Sam.” Harlow looked up with a soft smile. “I’d be glad for the company, if you don’t mind.” Sam stepped fully out onto the balcony of his room, over to the railing that only parted their rooms by a few centimeters. 
“What are you writing about?” Sam sniffed, uninterestedly, yet still peering over to the journal pages in front of her. Harlow glanced down at her scrawl on the paper, sighing.
“Just about life on the road, how fleeting all of this feels already.” Harlow shrugged, pushing her bangs out of her eyes. “How lonely it can be.”
“It uh, it sounded nice.” Sam cleared his throat, giving a small nod of his head. He was about to speak further, add something to diminish the compliment, when his stomach growled loudly between them.
“I have half of a club sandwich from dinner still, if you want it.” Harlow offered, moving the guitar from his lap, standing and taking a plate from the small table next to the unused chair. She walked over to her railing, extending the plate towards Sam. He glanced from the triangle of sandwich to her a few times, making her roll her eyes. “I didn’t poison it, if that’s what you’re thinking.”
“Thanks,” Sam took the sandwich off the plate, taking a large bite.
“No problem.” Harlow took the empty plate back, setting it on the table again before rejoining Sam at the railings. The night air was much cooler than the day, and a chill ran through Sam as the breeze softly blew through his and Harlow’s hair. “It’s crazy how cold the desert can get, huh?”
“You’re gonna talk about the weather?” Sam spoke around the food in his mouth, lifting a judging eyebrow. Harlow huffed annoyedly, crossing her arms over her chest.
“What else is there to talk about with a man who has done nothing but avoid me and refuse to acknowledge my presence until I force him to?” Harlow shot back coolly. Sam continued chewing as she shook her head. “Enjoy your sandwich, Sam.” he watched her clean up her balcony, tucking her journal under her arm and grabbing the guitar by the neck.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” Sam called out as she stepped back into her room, feeling awkward without saying something. Harlow stopped, turning towards him with a knowing smirk.
“We’ll see.”
🎶 🎶 🎶
“I’ve had an idea,” Sam looked up from his own journal to see Josh standing in front of him and his brothers in the hotel restaurant, hands in the air in front of him as if setting a scene for a fairytale over their scrambled eggs and bacon.
“Always terrifying to hear from you, but go on.” Jake nodded, waving the back of his hand to usher his twin to continue as he sipped his mug of shitty coffee held in the other. Danny continued with his meal as Josh sat down, pilfering toast and bacon slices from their various plates onto the small tea plate that used to house Sam’s coffee.
“When we get back to Nashville, we have those studio bookings, to work on our next album, right?” Josh began, and everyone at the table nodded knowingly. They had planned the tour around the studio time, to be honest, taking a three week break back home to try and hammer out a few songs for the label. “I want to bring Harlow in and do a song with her.” Josh glanced excitedly around the table, being met with tired shrugs and one shake of the head.
“We don’t need anyone else on our songs, man.” Sam pushed around the eggs on his plate, suddenly losing his appetite. “It’s gonna fuck up the dynamic.”
“No, no, it’s going to add to it.” Josh insisted, biting into a piece of bacon and waving it around. “Listen, she’s got this voice that just flows with mine like honey. And when we sing together it’s almost orgasmic.” Danny coughed, choking on his orange juice as Josh explained his reasoning.
“You getting your rocks off to the sound of your own voice doesn’t warrant bringing an outsider to the studio.” Sam pressed, shooting a glare at his brother. 
“Sam, whatever bullshit you have against her doesn’t have anything to do with the rest of us.” Jake huffed, rolling his eyes. “I’ve heard her and Josh together, and I think something cool could come out of this.”
“And what if it doesn’t?”
“What if it doesn’t?” Jake scoffed, tossing his crumpled up napkin from his lap onto the table. “Then it doesn’t go on the album and we move on.”
“And we’ve wasted studio time and money on something we should have never done.” Sam shot back. “It’s a stupid idea.”
“Okay, so let’s put it to a vote.” Danny cut in-between the bickering Kiszka’s. “All in favor of working with Harlow, say Aye.” 
“Aye,” Jake, Josh, and Danny chorused together.
“All opposed, say Nay,”
“Nay, a very strong Nay.” Sam retorted, glaring at his brothers.
“The Ayes have it.” Danny shrugged, giving his best friend a barely sorry look. “You’re just going to have to deal with it.”
“This is fucking bullshit.” Sam groaned, snapping his journal shut and standing up abruptly. 
“Where are you going?” Josh asked, watching his youngest brother start to stomp away. 
“My room.”
“Don’t forget you have to be at the bus in half an hour!” Josh called out towards the taller mans back. “Or we’ll leave you here!”
Sam took the stairs up to his room, using the exercise to stomp out his aggravation. He mumbled under his breath, cursing his brothers names, Harlow’s, anyone one who he thought of that could’ve led to this disastrous choice. Sure the song Harlow was writing last night had been decent, but it wasn’t up to par with where Sam and his brothers were, musically or lyrically. She was only going to drag them down, and ruin everything they, and especially Sam, worked for. 
🎶 🎶 🎶
Harlow’s ‘we’ll see’ from the night on the balcony was definitely a no. Sam hardly caught a glimpse of the girl over the next week, though he heard her. It was the same with Josh, he was always sneaking off and ended up being found with her, sharing a joint and a drink over sheets of paper, both of their messy, near illegible scrawls all over it. 
Sam would walk down the hallways of the hotels they stayed in, hearing her laugh as Josh spoke, and he would tighten his fists at his side, knowing the late nights they spent together in each others rooms was only going to give in to a doomed collaboration and bad press.
What was worse, Jake had taken in Billy as a protégé of sorts, jamming with him in the green rooms and making up little songs with him on the spot. Even Danny joined in with the assimilation, hanging out with their drummer, Frankie, and sharing tips. Everyone was in love with Harlow and her Blue Jean Babies. Everyone but Sam.

𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑪𝑨𝑳𝑳 !
here to say that i want even more sapphic stuff so i want to get some thing going with the muses under the cut ! if you are interested in a starter from any of them then please like this post ! ♡
𝑴𝑼𝑺𝑬𝑺 .
DAWN MENKEN LIAW / director / bi / she + they / chase sui wonders

HAVEN MAURY LIANG / weather girl / queer / she + they / havana rose liu
local weird girl who will flirtatiously read your palm at a party, has big dreams of joining cirque du soleil as a trapeze artist and is simply forecasting the weather until then, in love with love and everything to do with it while simultaneously being a commitment-phobe, victim of the perfect little rich girl to quietly disowned pipeline, the vibe of a drunk girl in a club bathroom, a lil ty lee inspired .
ROMINA ESCOBAR / reality tv star / lesbian / she + her / camila mendes
a part of a family reality show inspired by the kardashians, deeply codependent and therefore painfully loyal to those she deems deserving, more than kind of bratty, vain, and self absorbed, hates men and is loud about it, is probably the last one to figure out her sexuality because doesn't every gal just want to makeout with her bffs sometimes ? mildly inspired by jennifer check .
RUTH RANSOM / actress / bi / she + her / kristine froseth
daughter of a washed up rockstar and his groupie, mommy and daddy issues ( double homicide ), ran away from home at seventeen, energiser bunny adjacent girlie who never shuts up, the world's biggest flirt with the world's biggest commitment issues, stumbled into the world of acting half hungover and still in last night's glittery makeup, manic pixie dream just a girl inspired by penny lane.

𝑻𝑬𝑺𝑻 𝑴𝑼𝑺𝑬𝑺 .
ELM MOSSBACH  / museum tour guide / queer / she + they / taylor russell

FELICIA 'FLICK' RELF / actress / bi / she + her / madelyn cline + meghann fahy
was in a mystery inc crew when she was a teenager and is the star of a limited series inspired by their exploits, is seen as a sellout by the other members of that crew but does it really matter if she's famous ? grew up in a motel as the daughter of the deadbeat parents who owned it, swears all the supernatural stuff in their stories is all fake, but was it really ? semi inspired by scooby doo and the x files .
KINSLEY 'KIDNEY' BEAN  / petty thief / bi / she + her / abigail cowen
raised by two parents who had too many kids to truly give a fuck about all of them, the only girl in a hoard full of brothers, has the accent of a southern belle and the charm to match, will use that charm to walk away with your wallet, has never been single for more than a few weeks in her life, responsible for more than a few gas station hold ups, inspired by villains ( 2019 ) and bandits in general .
LORENA FONTBONA  / grad student / queer / she + they / jenna ortega
drenched in dark academia vibes but exclusively the weird ones, family owns a successful board game company that a lot of them are convinced they made a deal with the devil for but ren has their doubts, a legacy in a secret society, game theory student who reluctantly plans to take over the family business, a natural cynic, april ludgate coded and semi inspired by ready or not .

raised by a couple of zoologists who named all of their children after animals and dragged them around the world for their work, one of seven kids, grew up homeschooled and therefore chronically online in search of community and it shows, a goober who just happens to be tall and surprisingly athletic, the world's biggest romantic but they try to keep that on the low, in the wnba .

Does someone being attracted to an underage character played by an underage actor go past the bounds of proship? Is it too close to reality?
If yes, what if it was from a movie from ages ago? The actor being of age now? Does that change things for you?
I'd say proship is more of an anti-harassment stance than a "I'm morally okay with every content under the sun existing" stance. Like, there is some shit I'm NOT morally okay with, but that doesn't give me an excuse to harass people when I could just avoid them.
That being said, I'd say that an adult being attracted to an underage actor, as they're presented in the movie itself, is paedophilia. The age of the actor today doesn't matter. That being said, teenagers being sexually attracted to a teenaged actor is completely reasonable to me, and I think they should be allowed to talk about feeling that openly. (They should practise internet security to avoid creeps, but thats a whole nother topic.) Teenagers are going to be thinking and talking about sex no matter how much that squicks me, an adult, out. Personally, I'd like to live in a world where everybody I see simping for real teenagers is also a teenager that could be lying about their age. If its against site TOS I report it, and I'll block them for the grand crime of making me uncomfortable. I also don't care when the movie was made. A child from 50 years ago was still a child at the time the movie was recorded. That being said, I think there's a pretty solid difference between being attracted to an actor, and being attracted to a character the actor plays. For instance, for the longest time, I had a crush on Janis Ian from Mean Girls. That being said, I'm not into her actor Lizzy Caplan like that, due to the fact she looks very different outside of her role. I feel like that should be taken into account when talking about characters that were adapted from other mediums. If a character gets adapted from a book, book fans might not be picturing the actor's face when jerking off to them. That being said, I feel like childhood crushes are a bit of a grey area. Like, if you've been attracted to a 16-year-old actor since you were 16 yourself, it's less weird.
Either way, I don't think the age of the character itself is relevant. If let's say a 15 y/o were to play a 30-year-old character, I'd still instantly be grossed out to see them talked about in a sexual context.

if you gave them the aux
an: some of the boys! P.2 will have some of the girls<3
denki: just don't. People like to think he listens to electro edm pop but oh no. Nope, it's just like him, annoying high pitched and fast- bluegrass. He absolutely jams to that, he thinks it itches something deep down inside. Song: rocky top- the Osborne brothers
Kirishima: it's a gamble, but no matter what it's gonna be good. There are like 3 main options: r&b type funk like slow and groovy, Taylor swift-1989-bashful and sassy pop, and you know damn well he works out to 80's hard rock. Songs: you got it- vedo, new romantics- t swizzle, ace of spades - mötley crew
Bakugo: angry female country songs about murdering cheating husbands. It sounds really specific but it's a pretty big genre and i dunno i see it. Or he listens to things like SZA and doja cat, like studying to good days or cooking to need to know. Songs: before he cheats- Carrie underwood, mamas broken heart- Miranda Lambert, good days- SZA, need to know- doja cat, kiss me more- SZA and doja cat
Midoriya: let's be so real- bro probably still listens to old imagine dragons like radioactive, believer, thunder, you know it. I feel like his music taste is stuck in that era until he starts maturing into slower, sadder songs. Think Lana del rey, Bruno major, Mac Demarco. Songs: heart to heart- Mac Demarco, happiness is a butterfly- Lana del rey, at seventeen- Janis ian
Todoroki: he listens to sad music mostly but he also likes softer sweet songs too- like i dunno how to describe it so here are songs: cover me up- Morgan Wallen, only about love- grentperez, double take- Dhruv, yes to heaven- Lana del Rey, drunk walk home- mitski
sero: all i can think of is like late 90s early 2000s club and pop, I'm talkin Gwen Stefani, Kesha, Rhianna, lady gaga, hell yeah. Tbh i don't feel like i need to add specific songs, like look up a y2k club playlist and that's essentially it.

10 fandoms/10 characters
Many thanks to @tomatette, @jaynesilver, and @fallingdeeperintothispit for tagging me 😁.
Star Wars (Sequels): Armitage Hux. I really do love Kylo too—Ren is such an interesting, dramatic character, and he's absolutely perfect for Hux, seriously. But Hux with his emotional unavailability, hard, overly-composed exterior, his passion/drive to the point of his own detriment, traumatic past...he's everything I could want in a character, because I am also all of these hard-to-love things (though thankfully minus the space fascism).
Star Wars (Prequels): Anakin Skywalker. Look, I know he's a bit whiny sometimes but damn if I don't love a murderous pretty boy on a fool's errand for the person he loves. Mystical space powers and dramatic sweeping outfits are just an added bonus.
Beauty and the Beast: the Beast. For the handful of people following my BatB Kylux fic, this is TOTALLY shocking, I know (and also you guys are amazing ❤️). I do love Belle—she's a book-loving introvert, so that's a given. But the Beast (notice I didn't say Prince Adam)...yeah, I did NOT know how to deal with my attraction to him when I was younger. Mercurial, cursed, awkwardly endearing, dark-haired, passionate, and desirously fluffy?! Wears dramatic capes, has an enchanted rose determining his future, and has the library of my dreams that he is willing to share?? What the fuck more could I want?!
LOTR trilogy: Aragorn. Do I really need to explain that to anyone?? (Also: sorry, Legolas...you were a VERY close second).
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Jemma Simmons. Brilliant, adorable style, much more resilient than she looks. Her quote that goes "Past events...have shown me that I’m not good at improvisation. However, I excel at preparation" is not that great out of context here, unfortunately, but regardless, it was so validating to me. Me too, Jemma!!
Once Upon a Time: Killian Jones (Captain Hook). My husband loves this show, so we have watched it so many times. Hook is a seductive, charming bad boy who eventually really does try his best. And his pirate get-up? UGH, have mercy. (Also, wow, apparently I really, really have a thing for pretty, dark-haired, dangerous men who wear mostly black INCLUDING at least one garment that falls to at least knee length. Huh. That's...rather specific.)
Harry Potter: Hermione Granger. I related hard to a bookish girl who had a hard time making friends when I read these in grade school.
Howl's Moving Castle: Howl. I did not know how to process the extent to which I was attracted to him either, especially because he's not even human some of the time (which I liked, a lot). It was a revelation to find the world of online fanfic where I was very much not alone in those kind of thoughts!
Mean Girls: Janis Ian. Yeah, I know Janis does some shitty things in this movie, but she is unapologetic about who she is. I totally admired her boldness in high school, especially since I too dealt with the horror of rumors being spread about my sexuality (except the ones about me were true ahaha). And I always leaned much more Victorian goth than punk, but I nonetheless appreciated her style as well.
t.A.T.u.: Lena. I would be remiss to leave off this duo, even if they were a musical group, which is not one of my usual fandom sources. BUT they were the first pairing I actually read fanfic about online, way back when, and wrote a ton for them too (unpublished). For a 12-year-old who was struggling massively with...well, everything, but especially feeling incredibly alone and terrified of my sexuality, their music video/song "All the Things She Said" blew my mind. Unfortunately I never got my own chance to make out/run away with a pretty redhead in the rain, but still.
Tagging: I think I've seen this done by most people I follow already? But if you haven't done this and are reading it, please consider yourself tagged and do so, if you wish! I love these get-to-know-you things and would genuinely love to hear about you :).

hi! I was wondering if you have any ronance song recs?
YES omg, I love to talk about music (bet you couldn’t tell—)
I’ll link my favorite Ronance playlist I’ve made, and toss a few explanations for some favorites. Also!! If you’re into musical analysis, I’ve written some Long Ones under #lo’s music thoughts
The playlist in question
Maple Syrup by the Backseat Lovers - this one to me is a Nancy song. It makes me think about Nancy mourning Barb, especially if you are a past Barb/Nancy truther. I think it shows her guilt and grief very well
I’ve got a couple Conan songs, but: People Watching gives me Robin vibes, watching everyone around her find romance while she knows that as a lesbian in rural Indiana in the 80’s, the closest she’ll get is “people watching.” See also Family Line being Nancy and her family, realizing how toxic her parents’ relationship is, and how terrible her father is. (It can also be a Max song!)
For the comphet/GNC Nancy truthers, find a better song than Late Bloomer by Semler. I’ll wait.
Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine breaks my heart. It just has such soft falling in love vibes, from both perspectives!!
She’s My Religion by Pale Waves but it’s Robin falling for the force of nature that is Nancy Wheeler, and seeing her break apart too, finally helping Nancy learn to lean on others. (“She needs this love just as much as me”)
More comphet Nancy vibes for you in Crying During Sex by Carol Ades (recommended by @strvngerrose !!), and Kissaphobic by Makeout Monday
Some more just for fun:
Teenage Dirtbag Robin, come on, it’s just fun!!
The Chain by Fleetwood Mac is a werewolf Robin/monster hunter Nancy song, both of them working to end the chain of violence as well as generational trauma stuff!!
Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene by Hozier as monster hunter Nancy about werewolf Robin and vice versa, it works both ways
Steady, As She Goes by the Raconteurs gives me Nancy vibes, like she’s just stubborn and keeps going even when she’s tired, maybe Nancy from Robin’s perspective
Growing Sideways by Noah Kahan just gives such strong Nancy vibes. I want to analyze this one in more detail in the near future
I’ve based fics on:
If It Wasn’t For the Nights by ABBA as the group trying to live normal lives during/after the Upside-Down but struggling with nightmares, as well as a few becoming literal creatures of the night 👀
Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat, an opening queer band of the 80’s that I firmly believe Robin would enjoy, relating to the lyrics of wanting to run away and not being understood, I used this as her Vecna song!!
(The alternative to the above was At Seventeen by Janis Ian, which gives me Robin feeling like an unlovable outcast vibes, and it’s by a woman who later came out as lesbian, so Robin identifying with this woman without even fully knowing why)
And Trigger of Love by JAWNY as monster hunter Nancy being werewolf Robin’s undoing in more ways than one
So many of these are so angsty, have some fluff from the following:
All My Love by Noah Kahan
Everywhere, Everything by Noah Kahan
honey by Coastal Club
Slow Dances by Winnetka Bowling League
Talk Too Much by COIN ofc for our chronic rambler Robin Buckley
And I’ll shut up now ajskdkkskskskdk

Hi ❤
So this is really random, but I got the idea of f1 as the Mean Girls characters. It's probably been done before, and I don't even know if you have even seen the movie. But I was having too much fun with writing this, and you seem like the type to also enjoy this type of thought experiment 😉
Feel free to disagree with my picks and descriptions 😊
F1 2023 as mean girls:
Red Bull as Regina George
Rich, pretty and powerful. She owns the school whether they want her to or not. Even bully and manipulate the principal (fia) to get her way. She is the queen and mean girl over them all. She knows she is a bitch and doesn't care.
Mercedes as Cady Heron
Started out with good intentions, but became corrupted by power and competition. She still believes she is helping others and won't acknowledge that she is also a bitch. Had a falling out with most of the others.
Ferrari as Karen Smith
Clueless. Part of the popular girls, but not really involved on their fight. She is to busy trying to fit her own fist in her mouth, trying not to fail every class. Pretty but dumb.
Aston Martin as Gretchen Wieners
Rich and a part of the popular group. Always collecting secrets and gossip. Always looking out for who to copy from/become best friends with next. Sick of Red Bull dominating, but still copying her style.
Alpine as Aaron Samuels
Used to date Red Bull and was kinda a power couple with her. Got dumped and cheated on though, so he lost some status. Still rich, pretty and popular though. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
McLaren as Janis Ian
Used to be popular, but has become an outcast. Mean and obsessed with destroying the popular girls, especially Red Bull. Knows she is a bitch, but has embraced it and tries to focus on arts. Was a part of Mercedes becoming popular, but regretted it later.
Williams as Damian
Following McLaren and is generally nice to other people. He does go along with all her plans though, which usually hurt other people. The only ones that matter to him are McLaren and Mercedes.
Haas as Kevin G
Unpopular and usually seen as an annoyance by the others. Incredibly honest and not caring about fitting in to the popular groups. Loves to show of and thinks himself very talented, but often lack the final resources/parts to actually succeed.
Alpha Romeo as Mrs Norbury
Tired of life and all the kids. She is so done with all the drama and had had some of the worst luck. She tries to get her students so care for the finer details and not just the parties and money. Talks mostly with Haas, her spunky and weird student.
AlphaTauri as Shane Oman
Red Bulls boyfriend and supporter. Doesn't really care much for the drama and only follows Red Bull around. He can also sometimes give advise or help her, but is usually just used as a hook up by Red Bull.
this is probably the best ask i've ever received! i absolutely love silly stuff like this, so i'm honoured that you'd think of me 🥰 ofc i will always encourage everyone to post their ideas themselves so you get the credit, but i'll happily share stuff like this on behalf of others who might not wish to ❤️
lmao i absolutely love this sorting and i honestly agree with it all in the context of mean girls, but for some reason aston martin as gretchen is soooo accurate and hilarious to me 😂

Well, my stomach feels like crap, and a lot of things could be going better all over.
At least Ben gets to punch a Nazi this week.
Last time on Quantum Leap: Ian's shitty microchip is causing problems, Addison flushed her wedding ring, and Ben convinced a waitress to go into computer science.
And Ben gets to see that guy die again.
"GODDAMNIT LAWRENCE, 'PATHFINDER' ISN'T HELPFUL LAST WORDS!"
And Rock Paper Scissors time is interrupted by the computers breaking again.
"Do I have your attention?" If it turns out this is actually Janis hacking the Project again from Hawaii, and that's the real extent of the chip subplot...
"Look, Ian, I don't know why you're surprised that I'm the bad guy..."
Meanwhile, back in 1955, the cops are still not helpful.
"Hmmm... random guy finding a dying guy... ... ...you a Commie?"
"I'm gonna ask you to not leave town. Luckily, this episode is set entirely in this town."
Princeton 1955 is the most exciting place in the scientific community, right next to the place where the guy who discovered the BLJ in Mario 64 lives.
I honest to God hope they have Einstein cameo in this.
"Hey, we're three guys in suits and hats. Here's the waitress from the alien episode. And yes, that does mean a one-minute commercial break."
Hannah isn't a leaper, she just has an amazing skin care routine.
"Maybe the accelerator decided you needed a friend." Jenn, not for nothing, but that was unintentionally sad due to how you phrased that...
Oh shit, they invented the machine from Sliders.
Okay, so, knowing real world history, the Nazis are 100% gonna smash that thing.
"Look, I'm just a bald white guy talking to the guy from Quantum Leap, you don't need to be here, 1940s Waitress."
Oh, damnit, Einstein's already dead...
"You kept Einstein waiting, and he died. How does that make you feel, shithead?"
Hmmmmmm... I wonder if there is a connection between the evil spies circling the 1955 Project, and the subplot going on at the 2026 Project, that is a toughie...
Hannah just solved the formula for Red Bull.
MORAL OF THE STORY: The scientific community is misogynistic as fuck, even in the 1950s.
"Apparently, you're from New Mexico?" "Yeah, I had to move after this guy helped the sheriff bust a government coverup involving aliens and car crashes."
"Look, Hannah, I need you to stay in the episode, Einstein did secret science shit, I need your help."
"Have we met before, you remind me of Raymond Lee..."
The scientific method: Break into a dead guy's house.
"Magic picked a hell of a day to have a day off, it's almost like he's dealing with alcoholism or something..."
You went to Princeton in 2005, oh dear God, I am so sorry...
And we see that the guy Ben leapt into looks like a car salesman.
"Did you just refer to Einstein as 'Al'?" "Yeah, that means I'm cooler than you."
And Ben looks like he crapped himself.
"Okay, we're at the library that looks like Church."
"Look, Ben, if you decided to quit everytime Ziggy tells us there was a murder coverup in the original history, we wouldn't have a show."
I legitimately would not be surprised if it turns out people were lying and Hannah is actually a secret leaper.
"Is everything okay?" "Yep, totally fine, totally not gonna rip Ian's head off, what's a data breach?"
"Look, Ian, either you tell security what's going on, or I will be pissed."
At this point, just start throwing the books, maybe you'll get somewhere.
"Tell them to check the second floor. There, I did my job, I have a point in the show-" "Uh, I ain't going back into the Imaging Chamber, Ben fired me."
And Ben meets his replacement.
"Hi, Ben, I'm Tommy!" "(barely constrained look of resentment)"
"Look, I know Addison left you for me, but I went here in 2005, I know what I'm talking about."
"Wait, was it this wall, how do secret passages work again?" "Dude, what the fuck?!" "In my defense, I drank a lot!"
Oh, shit, I have that clock in my living room.
"Okay, if I were Albert Einstein... (fucks with the clock)"
And she has a Zippo, I'm starting to piece together how she died in that building fire...
Oh shit, a guy's doing jazz hands.
"Look, I don't care if you have a knife, you ain't getting in here!" "OH YEAH?! (shoves open door; causes a fire)"
[We are already lagging...]
[How many people are aware that M&Ms did a sequel to that ad a few years ago?]
Ben, you had a cane, why didn't you immediately clock him in the head?
"There, we got the journal, and we decided to not leave they guy behind to die in the fire for some reason, we are doing alright." "Ben, he killed Lawrence." "Okay, back into the fire he goes."
And there's the Nazis.
"Operation Paperclip": AKA, "The Governement wanted to make NASA, but didn't have enough scientists."
I don't know why, but the orange glow, plus the Kate conversation, makes Tommy look like he aged 30 years, I have to imagine that was deliberate.
"Oh, it's incredible, Einstein's journal fucking rules…"
So, what's the over/under on that journal getting burned?
"I studied Greek, it looks like Einstein was having a stroke…"
"If this works, it'll change the world." So, what's the over/under on that journal getting burned?
"Ben, that code will fucking break the world, it makes bombs." So, what's the over-
"Look, I don't care if you're Raymond Lee, but this is important science, I'm taking it with me-" "OKAY, FUCK IT, I'M BLOWING MY COVER, WE MET IN 1947!"
Okay, I meant that as a joke, I didn't expect Ben to actually do that, hot damn…
"Ben, stop breaking the rules!" "Fuck outta here, bitch boy!"
"I fucked up an Einstein quote, that's how you know I'm Raymond Lee!"
"Look, are you familiar with a guy named Samuel Beckett?"
"The most romantic bit of physics". Meanwhile, Addison flushed her ring.
"How long are you here for?" "My guess, I'm gone the second we burn that journal."
Uh oh, misogyny.
"Okay, I gotta dip, keep this." "Okay, cool. Zippo time!"
"Rachel, our secret shit fucked up the Project, I'm about to have a panic attack."
"What do you need?" "I need a data patch?" "That will cost me my job." "Again, panic attack-" "Ian, I was gonna say yes regardless."
"Hey, you wanna be a Nazi scientist? Let's take a trip to Glasgow! (slashes face)"
Oh, shit, the bald guy was the bad guy?!
"Ben, I need you to punch that bald guy, he's a Nazi."
"…um, I can't reproduce shit?" "… … …so, you know I'm a Nazi, eh?!"

Lonely Boy: a Dan Humphrey playlist (x)
Text version of the tracklist (and commentary) under the cut.
1. “Make You Better,” The Decemberists. But we're not so starry-eyed anymore/Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters/And won't it all just come around to make you/Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her
1. “Make You Better,” The Decemberists. But we're not so starry-eyed anymore/Like the perfect paramour you were in your letters/And won't it all just come around to make you/Let it all unbreak you to the day you met her
2. “Gun Song,” The Lumineers. I don’t own a single gun/But if I did, you’d be the one/To hold it, aim it, make all of the bad men run. A lot of this song is actually about finding out your father isn’t who you thought he was, but well. That’s pretty fitting too
3. “Wonderful,” Everclear. That thing about your dad? Uh yeah. I don’t wanna hear you say/You both have grown in a different way/No, no, no, no/I don’t wanna meet your friends/And I don’t wanna start over again
4. “Hand Me Down,” Matchbox Twenty. In which Dan is both singer and subject. You’re just one more tired hand me down/‘Cause no one’s tried to give you what you need/So lay all your troubles down/I am with you now
5. “Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now),” Cracker. It’s art kid hours
6. “Lonely Day,” Phantom Planet. I just got here, and I already want to leave/It’s gonna be a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely day
7. “Rabbit Hole,” Jenny Lewis. Something something derena breakup cycle
8. “Ache With Me,” Against Me! Have you realized all the things you’ll never be?/I’ve got no judgement for you, so come on and ache with me
9. “Other Boys,” Paisley Fields. And I am not like the other boys/Other boys fit in so naturally/Other boys are just who they oughta be. When he’s queer
10. “At Seventeen,” Janis Ian. I learned the truth at seventeen/That love was meant for beauty queens/And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles. He’ll be fine he’s just gotta be dramatic
11. “Nobody,” Mitski. And I don’t want you pity, I just want somebody near me
12. “Boy Like Me,” New Medicine. She’s the only girl I see/She don’t wanna be with a boy like me
13. “She’s so High,” Tal Bachman. I know where I belong and nothing’s gonna happen, yeah
14. “Wonder Boy,” Lesley Gore. If you’re so smart/How come you don’t know I love you? Have we considered: Dan POV excludes the fact that half the Upper East Side is in love with him
15. “Rasputin,” Boney M. Okay hear me out—*gunshots*
16. “Eleanor Rigby,” The Beatles. All the lonely people/Where do they all come from?
17. “I Don’t Love Anyone,” Belle and Sebastian. If there’s one thing that I learned when I was still a child/It’s to be alone
18. “Be Nice To Me,” The Front Bottoms. And I said, Daniel Humphrey is neurodivergent
19. “I’m Not Okay (I Promise),” My Chemical Romance. I’m not o-fucking-kay!
20. “Young Man,” The Chicks. This is the quintessential Dan&Milo song to me, in some ways—not for the arc itself, but for like. What happens. You’re of me, not mine/Walk your own crooked line
21. “World Spins Madly On,” The Weepies. I thought of you and where you’d gone/And the world spins madly on. Have you noticed I’m obsessed with the Milo arc yet?
22. “Baby You’re A Haunted House,” Gerard Way. ‘Cause, baby, you’re a haunted house now
23. “This Year,” The Mountain Goats. There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year
24. “survivin’,” Bastille. And I’m not gonna lie, say I’ve been alright/‘Cause it feels like I’ve been living in a world upside down
25. “Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You?” Stevie Nicks. Dan has a love language. Dan is lonely because no one says it back. This song is actually also about the Milo arc because of why it was written
26. “Love Song,” Sara Bareilles. You see, I’m not gonna write you a love song/‘Cause you tell me it’s make or break in this. We’re all fighting the publishing industry tonight!
27. “How I Survived Bobby Mackey’s Personal Hell,” Lincoln. And we can argue semantics over who left who first/But one thing’s for certain: I needed you most
28. “Freakin’ Out On The Interstate,” Briston Maroney.
29. “Dog Days Are Over,” Florence + The Machine. Leave all your love and your lonely behind/You can’t carry it with you if you want to survive
30. “Most Of All,” Brandi Carlile. To remember what comes back/When you give your love away/Give away your love

Viva Las Vengeance Opinions
Yeah nobody asked for it but it's coming anyway. As a Panic! STAN and all. And I'm also taking it as a personal attack since it's one day before my birthday. Feelin blessed.
The personal attack continues because Pretty Odd is my favourite P!ATD album. Probably still is if I'm honest. And Viva Las Vengeance is like if you mixed A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, Pretty Odd, aspects of Death of a Bachelor, and then gave it some kind of 60s and 80s rock vibes with strong Queen influence. It sounds like it should be a mess but somehow it really really works.
My overarching opinion is that this is an album Brendon Urie really wanted to make for the art of it. I doubt it's going to chart particularly well (ie High Hopes) but that's honestly okay. In fact I appreciate it. I feel like Panic! were always the band who just kind of happened to get popular (in fact Local God references this). And it really feels like an appreciation of those roots, without being a regression. I know a, uhm, take is that Panic! changed for the worse without Ryan Ross. I don't agree with that, though there was definitely a change. But this album feels like a kind of return to that style to me.
If A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is just the prologue, Viva Las Vengeance is the arc where we really see that fleshed out character development.
I know why the singles are the singles, but with the exception of Viva Las Vengeance they were the weakest songs on the album to me. Everything from God Killed Rock And Roll onwards was legitimately 10/10 for me.
Some highlights though:
Don't Let The Light Go Out - A solid banger. I won't be surprised if this ends up being most people's favourite. I adore that it (at least appears to?) samples Janis Ian's At Seventeen, which is a song I've loved for years.
God Killed Rock And Roll - He may as well have named this Las Vegas Rhapsody. Honestly, it's nothing like Bohemian Rhapsody actually, but it's clear it was a heavy influence. Considering I can't think of any other songs in that style, I have to commend them for actually pulling it off and in a distinctive Panic! way.
Say It Louder - Somehow this sounded like the most 'classic P!ATD song' to me, even though it's nothing like any songs I can think of. I think this will be another favourite for a lot of people.
Sugar Soaker - I think this is my favourite on the album, as a massive fan of classic rock. Definitely the one I've had the urge to listen to on repeat.
Sad Clown - Yeah I don't know. Panic really did opera. All I can say is I'm into it.

Why am I not surprised to hear the fatphobe out here openly admitting to making fun of and torturing the lives of others back in her school day? You come across as the Regina George type and while I know you're gonna take that as a compliment, trust me, it isn't. You need serious help if you think treating people differently from you in the cruelest of ways (at least through words) is okay. Go actually fuck yourself and look into getting a therapist. I feel SO bad for anyone who crosses paths with you and I'm glad I don't follow you anymore. Imagine being such a wretched bitch that you think bullying others is totally okay.
Ah I see the fatphobe-anon again.🥱 Feeling frustrated again, hm? So you decided to show up here.
Tell me why should I not admit it? It is like it is and I stand by the things I did in my life. Of course this is something a pathetic little coward like you who can only speak their mind while hiding behind an anon symbol can´t understand. Also, when did I say it was okay? All I said is that it happened. As we are already speaking of school, it seems like you might need to go back to it cause you´re apparently still not able to read correctly.
And I always liked Regina, but do you wanna know who I always hated, due to the fact that she was the most annoying and most off putting character in the whole movie? It´s her:
Tumblr media
Janis Ian, a dumb, frustrated, unhappy and chronically annoying person. Tell me do you like her? It wouldn´t surprise me, cause I feel like you two have a lot in common.
And I agree, it´s a good thing you´re not following me, cause I really prefer to not surround myself with people like you. So thank you for this, I very much appreciate it.🙂
And nah when I want to f*ck I just go and pick someone to do the honor for me, no need to do it myself. And I don´t really know what I should do with a therapist to be honest. Like should we go shopping together? Exchange baking recipes? Paint each others nails?🤔 Hmm... yeah maybe that could be fun.
And well, it´s still better than crossing paths with you, right Janis?😉

Episode two thoughts!
Pros:
that space shuttle set is fuckin' gorgeous
Ben does insane shit just like Sam does!
the basement continuation of the Project in a Calavicci basement!! I wrote about Al doing something like that in my fic Arlington.
OMG BETH (and the callback to her in front of a open car hood lmao)
Janis lives in Pasadena. I'm also going to point out that 1) she is an astrophysicist and 2) Pasadena is home to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I'm also also imagining her looking up so much to Sam when she was little, being influenced by his being a physicist and talking so much about the stars, that she goes into that field 🥺 She would've been middle school age or so when he disappeared, if we're still going by that Christmas 1999 picture.
I love that we got to see Samantha Stratton. Obviously got the love of flying from her dad lmao
Overall, this episode felt more cohesive and more like a regular QL episode. This show is starting to find its groove.
Cons:
Addison. ADDISON. Mmmm. We finally got the question about her ring but I have a feeling this relationship will be slowly built up until Ben finally figures out they're together. Sam and Al took a while to build up too over the first season.
I'm still getting Donna vibes from Addison but at least she isn't like that around other people like Ian. Also, what's going to happen six months from now?
Not enough time spent on the leap, too much time spent by the Project meddling. I'm with Janis, they shouldn't have used Beth like that, especially since Magic hadn't seen her since Al's funeral (!). That was dirty. And breaking into Janis' house?!
Let's say Al dies early-mid 2021, and Janis immediately retreats. It's possible Beth also hasn't seen Janis since Al's funeral. Makes me think Janis was working on something with Al before he died, and Ben is taking on Al's mantle more or less in this search for Sam. But I'm annoyed that it had to be so hidden, you know? What was going on behind the scenes here? Did the government give up on finding Sam past a certain point, while Al, Janis (and later on) Ben continued the search?
Also where are the other Calavicci daughters. I'm sure they'll get name-dropped at some point but yeesh.

Janis & Casey Pt.3
Janis: You said you’d not be a bellend today, think on that
Casey: and I’ve not been, nothing wrong with not being keen for you to piss about as long as you like when I’m waiting
Janis: Nah, you’ve not made me feel like shit or nothing 🙄
Casey: What
Janis: just stop banging on and leave me to it now
Casey: or tell us what
Janis: I don’t know, maybe telling someone they’re wasting their one life feeling what they feel isn’t the move but you know
Janis: if that’s what you want to do with yours, go ahead
Casey: I wasn’t talking about you
Janis: Call it what you want
Casey: my dad, Jim, dickheads like that, who I meant
Janis: Jim and me have it in common, that’s why we’re together, why it works
Casey: you and him have fuck all in common
Janis: We do though
Casey: you don’t though
Janis: we both reckon no amount of memories mean fuck all, that’s one
Casey: he’s a miserable bastard, you’re not
Janis: Ha, no?
Janis: You accuse me of doing a lot of fucking sulking for someone who ain’t
Casey: you ain’t doing much of it whenever I see you for someone you reckon is
Janis: Maybe I’m putting on a brave face for you, like I do with Bobby and Libi
Casey: you can fuck off saying that
Casey: nah, you don’t wallow in it or make a martyr of yourself to it, there’s the difference
Janis: You want there to be a difference, that’s all
Casey: there is, don’t matter what I want
Janis: People like your dad and Jim and whoever else are the people who pick up the pieces when people like your mum and my sister live their life exactly how they want
Janis: that’s the truth, I’m not going to sit here and glorify it
Casey: sit there and talk shit then
Casey: my dad lived his life exactly how he fucking fancied an’ all, he still is and he don’t pick up sod all, I do
Casey: Jim’s going about his days exactly how suits him, pissing about with you or bitching and moaning about how hard it is when he ain’t, that’s the truth
Janis: You should take it, it’s the only topic and time I feel a shred of sympathy for Ian
Janis: just raising the kid that’s left behind and missing out on any childhood of your own, yeah, you’re all living your best lives with it
Casey: like fuck will I, you never met my mum and he don’t say a word about her for you to know owt 2nd hand neither
Janis: Easy to be a fun-loving free spirit when you’re not around to clean up your fucking messes
Casey: shut up
Janis: there we go, my point exactly
Casey: how she hacked being round and what she done til she couldn’t is fuck all to do with you, weren’t you who had to cope with none of it
Janis: And she’s a hero for, what?
Janis: The rest of you are still there coping, get a fucking grip
Casey: she ain’t, nor’s your boyfriend so stop fucking patting him on the back while you’re at it, like
Janis: He doesn’t think he is, and he doesn’t hero worship either of your fucked up parents whilst he’s at it
Janis: none of them are special, just because they’re dead
Casey: and he’s not special ‘cause you fancy him
Janis: Where’d I say he was?
Casey: read back what you said, I can’t
Janis: I know how I feel about him and it’s not all magical thinking and bullshit
Casey: good for you
Janis: you better go
Casey: ahead of you there, mate
Janis: let's knock that on the head whilst we’re at it
Casey: knock yourself out
Janis: None of this makes any sense so
Casey: you weren’t bothered by that before, never has done
Janis: if anything, you’ve helped me realise
Janis: I don’t need anyone
Casey: you’re welcome for the head unfuck, chuffed for you
Janis: You aren’t but you are under no obligation to be now
Casey: tah, well big of you
Janis: you aren’t the hard done by brother 
Casey: 👋 then
Janis: bye
Casey: [leave it sir, and go back home or wherever you’re going but we all know it isn’t to meet that random girl because in no mood now, soz you’re getting ghosted hun x]
Janis: [so sorry ma’am except we’re not at all even thinking about you my love, it’s the way Bobby and Jimmy will be back unless he can talk her down off this ledge because imagine the awkward vibe of staying and she’s not there lol]
Casey: [what fun, it really snowballed from the little outing y’all had planned, well done as per lads]
Janis: [so sorry we got triggered and had no way to calmly explain that and let it go, appaz, you love to see it lol, lord knows how you’re going to talk after this when you inevitably return, whether that’s tonight ‘cos Jimothy calms you or whenever]
Casey: [yeah, it depends if we wanna say he was able to talk her off the ledge or we’re feeling a run away moment but either way jc clearly aren’t gonna be matey for a sec here lol]
Janis: [hmm, perhaps we should do some JJ from the back of this convo? We could just decide though, I’m sure whatever we could say we could make happen retroactively, not worried if not]
Casey: [I can try, I’ve only done depressed era Jimothy for a while so idk how good it’ll be and if I’ll flop though]
Janis: [up to you my boo, if you don’t think you’re doing well, we’ve got this and we’ll just decide and continue with JC because at some point she’ll have to talk to him again, it’s easy enough lol]
Casey: [I’m frighten]
Janis: [let’s just say he could talk her down because he’d agree with her obviously so I can see it happening easily, still going to have to leave Casey alone for a minute unless he starts it if they social’d? ‘Cos clearly not left hun lol]
Casey: [let’s say he reacts to said socials, be it a like or a story reaction which we all know is shady actually like oh you’re still here then, cos he’d be unsurprised, obvs Jimothy agrees with her and can thus talk her round, he can see it coming, the only reason it was a possibility she might go from his POV is cos he thinks his brother is such a big flop and therefore might make things worse]
Janis: I shouldn’t have gone off on you like that, if your genuine reaction is 😂 then I’ll be alright with it but still
Casey: Can only react with what I’m given, they don’t do my proper one
Janis: figures
Casey: still ain’t the hard done by brother so
Janis: It were uncalled for, we both know that
Casey: no shit, mate
Casey: except I’m not to call you that no more, weren’t it
Janis: I mean, if anything should probably still stand, hardly a good one
Casey: yeah, not like it should be up to me to make up my own mind about or nothing
Janis: Obviously you can
Casey: tah very much, again well big of you
Janis: Alright, you pissed me off, I was trying to piss you off back
Casey: obviously, read you better than I can a book
Janis: So I look like a dick now, can you at least take some satisfaction in that?
Casey: what for
Casey: since when am I someone who’s buzzing to see you make a twat of yourself
Janis: I mean, it’d make me feel better about being a bitch but I get it, not owed it
Casey: how you tell it, you love being a bitch
Casey: crack on taking your own satisfaction from having no mates how you reckon you want
Janis: It’s necessary, most the time, I don’t remember saying I relish it
Janis: as long as you read the situation how it was, not what was said, that’s what I came to make sure
Casey: it’s bollocks
Casey: but you heard, I get it
Janis: I can’t hack caring about more people than I do, call it pathetic, call it what you want, it’s true
Casey: I know
Janis: but I can’t help who I do, and you are one of them, however weird that is
Casey: same, even when you’re being a dickhead calling it weird
Janis: It’s weird to me, he might’ve had a girlfriend before me but I haven’t done this loads, alright
Casey: if it’s a competition, I’ve done this never, I win
Janis: You know what I mean, you aren’t Bobby’s age, it makes it more confusing but it’s still true and happening, I give a shit
Casey: yeah
Janis: I’m sorry for it
Casey: fuck that, I’m not having your sorry for it
Janis: I meant for, I don’t know
Janis: not being nicer, better at it
Casey: I’m not sorry, we wouldn’t be mates if you was nicer
Janis: You’re nice
Janis: even though it’s a shit word
Casey: I’m loads of shit words but that one’s nowhere on the list
Janis: I might have skewed standards if I’m using myself as the base level but still
Casey: you’ve no standards in mates or lads, we’ve talked about both before now enough times
Janis: alright, true enough we have
Casey: be ‘cause you’ve no dad neither, as we’ve talked about an’ all
Janis: Sure, I’d be focused on my studies and on my way to Trinity if I had
Casey: probably
Janis: were never on the cards so we’ll never know
Casey: you’ll live without them posh dickheads
Janis: my cousin still probably be there, can’t be seeing him that often, have me spiralling right back into my bad choices
Casey: and I can’t never have a look at you making no good choices, do my head right in that would
Janis: you’re keeping me ‘round to make yourself feel better about your own? That’s very nice, that
Casey: I’m keeping you round in the hopes one day you might make 1 decent choice, ‘cause I care about you too
Janis: I’ll do my best but clearly my track record ain’t to be discussed
Casey: all piss poor, no discussion needed
Janis: to think I ever called you charming
Casey: so long ago I’ve forgot you had done
Janis: Mm, be why I started being a bitch again 😏
Casey: my money were on the lass bleeding, but alright
Janis: why blame nature when I could subtly blame you
Casey: hang on, that was you being subtle
Casey: fucking hell, well done
Janis: piss off, I’m an incredible actress, you aren’t surprised at my skills
Casey: when
Casey: oh right, I get when you’re getting at, what you and him do behind closed doors is up to you
Janis: Um NOT when I was getting at, never mind, boy
Casey: loads of lasses fake it, what I’ve heard
Casey: you’re not the 1st or gonna be the last
Janis: and I’m sure it’s dead obvious if you aren’t hiding from getting your feelings hurt 🙄
Janis: no one is slinging my sister an Oscar any time soon
Casey: you’re not your sister, go after an oscar all you like
Janis: I’m sure you don’t want reminding that you know I don’t need to
Janis: 🤫 for your own sake
Casey: don’t bother neither of you usually
Janis: Were an accident and you don’t have to put up with it no more, yeah, another pro for the list I suppose
Casey: call it what you want, girl
Janis: normal person’d act like they hadn’t heard nothing to save from this awkward convo, you know
Casey: soz I didn’t have no accident to leave us deaf, your own advice about shutting the fuck up for your own sake’s right there
Janis: It’s alright, I was going to hell long before I thought how handy the whole deafness is for me
Janis: landslide down at this point
Casey: alright for you
Janis: changing the subject, I hear you
Janis: did you go on your date yet?
Casey: Change it again
Janis: Oh
Janis: hmm, that was my main in, beyond asking if you wanted to split the dog walking in half if you didn’t wanna see us 
Casey: in a bit then as you’ve nothing to say else
Janis: Hey, come on
Casey: go and piss about with him and his 📷 some more
Janis: I want to talk to you
Janis: I figured on it being more of an uphill battle, that’s all
Casey: you’ve already made it sound like I’m well hard to care about with your sorry and that, no need to add a climbing comparison in
Janis: Sorry it’s ME caring about you
Janis: and not some Mary Poppins type, not sorry it’s YOU, idiot
Casey: I don’t need a babysitter, YOU idiot
Janis: I know that
Casey: what you saying it like that for if you know
Janis: replace her with a really good friend then, I don’t even know any examples, for fuck’s sake
Casey: you’re an example when you calm yourself down
Janis: I’ve stood you up twice
Casey: and what
Casey: who cares, I’ve stood you up before too, other day even when I overslept
Janis: I’m most devvo’d not to have finished the film, has to be said
Casey: there you go, somehow that were my fault, I dunno how but let’s say it was
Janis: You weren’t just sleepy that day
Janis: how is the nose job
Casey: 👍
Janis: what’s that meant to mean, boy
Casey: you asked how I look, the answer’s top
Janis: Make me sound like I’m loitering in a phonebox, why don’t you
Janis: 👍 though
Casey: I’d work on your chat a bit, it’s weak for starting all that as your next job
Janis: 🖕🤘
Casey: doing nowt but proving my point, really
Janis: not about to disprove it, am I
Janis: get arrested for that sort of thing
Casey: might be able to watch the end of the film, they love that sort of activity in prison
Janis: like I’d get a moments peace, looking like this
Janis: need my own face transplant
Casey: I’ll find Grace, hang on
Janis: 😂 Mean
Casey: what, couldn’t be nicer, dream come true for her, the swap
Janis: I think her whole head is bigger, literally not in my way
Janis: going to be really stretching it over that skull
Casey: I’ll do my best not to be too gutted when the bandages come off, make the best of a bad situation with her in the days and weeks and years after
Janis: here’s me thinking you cared about my sparkling personality
Casey: nah
Janis: knobhead 
Casey: your shit personality, have a word with yourself
Janis: least I’ve got one
Casey: have to hope I can get her to shut up for her own sake, true
Janis: I think I’ll keep my face and deal with the lesbian sex crimes, you can go fuck yourself, mate
Casey: will do, you’ve given us something to think about and everything
Janis: 😆 enjoy
Casey: night, too busy to talk to you now
Janis: no need to act like it’ll take you that long, s’alright
Casey: I’ll keep going, house to myself there’s no reason not to
Janis: Fair, rude not to
Janis: where’s he?
Casey: out with a new one from work
Janis: cute
Casey: didn’t mess up his 💘 life with your kicking off
Janis: considered putting out a general warning to all middle-aged slags in the area but you know, take time to make the posters
Casey: Bob’s only the pair of hands and he has to use ‘em to chat too, in fairness
Janis: his ones of Ian are spot-on, would pick him out of a line-up, which is handy
Casey: I’ll stick to picking what I fancy on my pizza
Janis: knew the moment had passed, an excellent opportunity to talk about the lesbian line-up 
Janis: you’ll have [whatever we know to be his fave] of course
Casey: unimaginative, I remember
Janis: good news and bad news
Janis: very popular genre, lesbian prison porn
Janis: the acting is worse than face/off 
Casey: can always mute it, unlike you, mate
Janis: Aw, real women, eh, nightmares
Janis: 🤖💘 life
Casey: taking patronising off you by saying you’re hardly old enough to be called a woman don’t feel right, you’d have sod all lines left to chat to us again, for a start
Janis: I could ask you what sides you’re getting, if you’d like
Janis: I dunno when you started loving deep and meaningful convos
Casey: you’re alright, not very hungry
Janis: harsh, I didn’t say anything graphic
Casey: still, must be your 📷 PDA, like
Janis: you can mute me on there, like, that’s a plus
Casey: [do and send her a pic of it or whatever to show you have]
Janis: better?
Casey: I’m not suddenly starving, like magic, if that’s what you mean
Janis: 🥺 come on, fatty
Casey: what you lying for now
Janis: compared to me
Casey: you’re a girl, there’s no me vs you about it
Janis: convenient
Casey: piss off, ‘course I can eat and weigh more than you 💪
Janis: SO easy to wind up 
Casey: lucky you’re SO easily pleased, convenient for him as well as
Janis: and you’re both reasonably fit, we can’t really pretend otherwise for anything but the pisstake 
Casey: pisstake’s reasonably, dunno how you can chat that
Janis: you’d need a longer habit for me to totally write off your lungs, like
Casey: exactly, there’s sod all wrong with ‘em
Janis: I didn’t rate you out of 10 or make you do a beep test
Casey: wouldn’t worry me you did do
Janis: ⏱ for your next birthday then, sorted
Casey: that’s the best you’ve got and you’re gonna make us wait for it too, we can call it as far as being mates goes, yeah
Janis: wow, ungrateful much
Janis: very handy tool, have you know
Casey: be an app 👵🏽
Janis: and you can put your lips together and blow but you still liked that prezzie
Janis: have a list as long as Libi’s in a minute, cheek of it
Casey: you wasn’t teasing me with that one ages before
Casey: and I like a surprise
Janis: alright, alright, I’ll think on 😏
Casey: long as you don’t stand us up on my birthday, we’re going [idk what activity you’d wanna do for your bday at this age, laser quest or something like that]
Janis: I’m not that bad
Janis: current record don’t help but 
Casey: set a record there instead, you’ll be on my team
Janis: obviously 👾👾👾
Janis: haven’t been there in forever
Casey: it’ll be good
Janis: it will 🤝
Janis: no messing about
Casey: okay 🤝
Janis: glad you’re alright
Janis: you’ll have to get back to that girl now, yeah, then nothings wrong
Casey: Forget her, I have done
Janis: alright, if you’re sure
Casey: can’t be bothered to talk her round from how gutted she’ll be I never showed when I weren’t that bothered by her in the 1st place
Janis: be alright, girls love something to cry about with their mates, get mileage out of that, a favour honestly
Casey: ‘course you’ve engineered it so you done me and her a massive favour 😏
Janis: oi, I was willing to be sorry for you but you’re not arsed so I can’t help that my services ain’t required
Janis: if I have to start weeping for every random girl though, you can fuck off 
Casey: you’re busy with too much else to be keeping track of how many lasses are 💔 over us
Janis: exactly, not sorry
Casey: nor me
Janis: just two bastards, like
Casey: we’ve loads in common, you would pick that as what you’ll admit to
Janis: you pick the next one then
Casey: and you’d put me right on the spot an’ all
Janis: see, not that easy, boy
Casey: it is, I just don’t want to start down the road again or you’ll be off up it
Janis: sound like a headcase, fuck’s sake
Casey: yeah well
Janis: not a trap or invitation, I hear it
Casey: you who said something about sugarcoating being bollocks
Janis: and I stand by it
Casey: there you go then, were headcase behaviour
Janis: No money or will to chat to a real therapist so oh well, not my fault
Casey: no such thing as a real therapist anyway, they’re all full of it
Janis: guess the pricey ones dress up the flashcards and cups of tea, make it seem more legit
Casey: flashcards’ll be written on the coffee how Jim can do and your sister and her mates like
Janis: get your bad news with your caffeine
Casey: charge you for sorting anxiety they’ve chucked at you in a mug
Janis: 🙄🙄
Janis: not a disorder Gracie doesn’t think she has, like it isn’t just the consequences of how she’s living
Casey: and you’re on at me to give that lass a bell, nightmares the lot
Janis: that’s your type
Casey: What do you know
Janis: I know that girls who look like the girls you’re after are nightmares, obviously, they’re giving you every signal like a peacock or some shit
Casey: them ones are the lads, watch where you’re going with that
Janis: have seen drag queens in less slap but you know, just a reality you’ve got to deal with for your poor taste too
Casey: I dunno, never seen a drag queen, me
Janis: You’re so sheltered, baby 
Casey: can’t all of us have mums who lez off half the time, that’s you
Janis: Not much to recommend it, not missing out on anything major
Casey: sleep like the baby you called us then, won’t I
Janis: after your pizza-fueled wank sesh, yeah, 👶
Casey: makes it sound pizza’s the turn on, but otherwise, yeah
Janis: you do you, no judgment here obvs, thanks ma
Casey: not much to recommend it, maybe should’ve gone for 🥧 same as in the film
Janis: apple’s different from steak and kidney, not sure what is worse though 
Casey: I’ll do a poll for you, find out if I’m missing out on socials by not having ever done, seeing as you and your boyfriend are always at it
Janis: that sort of picture evidence will get you banned though, FYI
Casey: more lasses 💔
Janis: Idiot boy 😏
Janis: you’ll be surprised though, the unhinged weird shit people will say if you just ?
Janis: s’funny, that’s why we do
Casey: I didn’t ask why you and him do nowt
Janis: just saying
Casey: don’t need a hand with how to have a laugh
Janis: okay, don’t have mine off about it
Casey: head full of dogs, you
Janis: 🤑*
Casey: you’d not have stood me up for the [whatever the last name of that posh couple is] murder and robbery
Janis: Never
Janis: you might be a liability sometimes but who else is gonna help me
Casey: piss off, never been a liability even when I was 👶
Janis: weren’t there, I don’t know that
Casey: but you know I ain’t now, what you saying sometimes for
Janis: don’t want to get carried away, do we
Casey: you don’t
Janis: no, sure, you’d love it if I sat here and complimented you ‘til your head popped
Casey: no shit, girl, who wouldn’t
Janis: some people are humble and would be embarrassed, allegedly
Casey: nah, only if the lass isn’t fit but we’re on about you here
Janis: an alright line, well done
Casey: oi, what line, you’d be more than cringing hearing [some poor boy we are dragging from school] chat to you like he’s fit enough to and he’d need having a word with, proper awkward all that
Casey: compliments are near foreplay, them lot should keep it between themselves, ugly to ugly and weird to weird
Janis: 😬😬😬
Janis: s’why sports science is an absolute minefield, outnumbered and then some
Casey: you’re alright, whole school going for it you’d still be able to sort ‘em all out on your own
Janis: not hard, you only have to deal with them calling you frigid when they’re in a mood you told them to fuck off
Casey: they’re in a mood ‘cause they’d have no chance opposite way round neither
Janis: exactly, gotta have shocking self-esteem to fall for that trick and be begging to prove them wrong 
Casey: and you wouldn’t lose none of yours caught out and left mid Face/Off operation
Janis: 😌 tah, still keep away from me with a scalpel
Casey: love the threat of a good time with none of the follow through, you
Janis: 😤 YOU love to wind me up so I can’t
Janis: yeah, upgraded to entirely your fault now, mate
Casey: don’t sound like me
Janis: 🤔 oh, wrong chat, soz
Casey: be standing me up on here next, leaving us unread
Janis: never say never, if you’re chatting loads of shit, maybe
Casey: stop typing in the wrong chat, dickhead
Janis: Just trying to find loads of new mates, the juggle is real
Casey: Might teach you, ask me nice
Casey: pissed about doing it in summer when I was younger ‘cause dad were working and he chucked us into some bollocks activities
Janis: Sounds hellish, but I bet you ended up loving it
Casey: loads of mates from it
Janis: least you ended up with people to kick about with, it was more important when I was younger an’ all
Casey: What you really up to
Janis: what did I say I was fake up to?
Casey: stalking, I dunno
Janis: ohh, right, the obvious bullshit about reaching out to every twat in town
Janis: nah, nothing really, just at home
Casey: end of the film’s waiting for you, why not watch it
Janis: be missing out on your commentary but s’a good shout
Janis: they’re doing something with the animals, last I saw so
Janis: no accidental scarring them with the face/off of it all
Casey: only [however long they had left] til credits
Janis: thanks, only had a vague memory of [a scene roughly where y’all were] before I wanted to pour tea over your head
Casey: there you go again with your threats, do nothing of the sort though
Janis: you would call that as a good time, Yorkshire tea waterboarding 
Casey: I get it, ‘course you’re too shit scared to start owt with me, losing’d do your head in
Janis: 😂 not scared of you or something that’d never happen, mate
Casey: 👌 mate
Janis: if you’re trying to tell me stories, I’ll pause the film again, like
Casey: you crack on, pizza’s here
Janis: 👌👌 [with a pic of whatever screen you are watching this on rn]
Casey: [a pic of you buzzing with your pizza which is just an excuse to send her a selfie lol]
Janis: jealous
Janis: gonna have to get snacks now
Casey: I’d send one to yours but film’ll have been over ages before moped turns up
Janis: 🙄 tell us about it, have to plan well far ahead
Janis: still think we could leave Ro and her kids here and move us back into the flat over the shops
Casey: 🍕💔
Casey: be a right struggle to eat this now
Janis: 😩😩😩😩 bastard
Casey: wishing you were here’s gone less one sided all of a sudden
Janis: you caught me 🍕💘
Casey: [a pisstakey kind of zoom in slow mo vid of this pizza like she’ll be hearteyes lol, just having fun being a nerd don’t mind him]
Janis: should upload that 🤤😍
Janis: keep you busy and stop you torturing me whilst I find some bullshit in the cupboards
Casey: [do, because one thing about this boy, he does everything she says, we can pretend it’s bants but we all know, probably putting that song he identified as her fave to be playing as well, even if she’s already got a new fave now, for the mems]
Janis: [when you can react to it accordingly for a perfect full circle moment here, well done jemily]
Casey: [LOVE that and we all know he’s unblocked her like a sec after he blocked her so he’ll see it, idk if there are like face/off memes but there will be defs be some about those lads Nick and John you can add to your story to make her laugh]
Janis: [there undoubtedly are, have a little back and forth of shitposting about it, casually because you are friends again and the beef has been squashed for now honeys]
Janis: the 😂 is genuine this time, so you know
Casey: What I always want to hear, that
Janis: welcome 🤡
Casey: oi 
Janis: you’d look lovely with a red nose, it’s a compliment
Casey: give it some years and some [whatever gross drink is Ian’s drink of choice]
Janis: eurgh, no thanks
Janis: can’t be reasonably fit when your liver is dead
Casey: have to keep on with it pissing blood sometimes instead
Janis: is there anything you can do for that?
Casey: duck more often, like
Janis: preventative not cure
Casey: you’ve already cured me
Janis: the fact you were pissing blood somehow didn’t come up then
Casey: steady on, I’m talking about your red nose compliment, what are you
Janis: Jesus, don’t scare me like that
Janis: I read that wrong, as you were
Casey: I’d have put you off coming round harder, that were going on, be a proper no tah
Janis: not info you can just drop after, no
Janis: got my heart racing harder than this final fight scene rn
Casey: no real challenge but
Casey: I’m good, don’t worry
Janis: good
Janis: don’t diss it though, thoroughly entertained right now
Casey: soz, you keep your eyes on the telly screen, fuck your phone
Casey: I’ll shut up
Janis: Been waiting the whole time I’ve known you to hear that
Casey: [don’t reply cos you’re shhing but cos you can’t shh send her another selfie where your face is so OTT offended and oi vibes that she said that, even though he’s probs got his hand over his mouth or something like that to be extra so it’s just his eyes and brow really giving]
Janis: Oh, you’ve made me feel bad now, poor boy
Casey: 🍕💔 of my own
Casey: finish watching before it’s all gone cold
Janis: [do finish this film, liveblogging on your insta as much as you can about this film because likewise can’t really shh about it]
Janis: 🎬
Casey: Go on, rate it out of 10
Janis: [do a silly nerd review I cannot because not even seen it but you know the vibes]
Casey: [likewise add your own comments in because I have seen it but years ago and I cannot remember]
Janis: Go on, how many slices have you had
Casey: [do it like a fraction because of getting her to rate out of 10 before so however many of however many slices you had total, we know what I mean, gonna say this is a large pizza and he’s had like half to ¾ of it, seems legit but I cannot do the maths on how many that would be sis]
Janis: 🐷💘🍕 love story, 10/10
Casey: go on, show us the signs for all them, need practice you’ve said
Janis: [give it your best shot baby but say you deffo get one wrong, whichever one that may be, I imagine love and pig are probably easier than pizza so go with that]
Casey: [she’d deffo know love because JJ would have signed ILY to each other by now, but thinking about the other 2 logically, you might have more reason to know pizza if it’s a food Bobby likes than pig, because when are y’all using that in daily life unless maybe you have as a insult lol, either way, help her with whatever one she doesn’t know]
Janis: Did I make a faux pas and sign something really offensive instead though? Can’t be known as an ableist 
Casey: nah, know where I am if you fancy it though
Casey: [show her something offensive that’s nearest to what she did when she tried to do whichever of them that came out wrong, like there you go, god knows because idk sign language]
Janis: 😅 remind me that one isn’t for the kid
Janis: [try it back so he can check you, obviously]
Casey: [love this little lesson we’re having, show her some more offensive stuff just cos it’s fun like lol btw those definitely aren’t for Bobby either]
Janis: never knew I were missing so many ways to call you a dickhead, really did need this
Casey: sort of mate I am, might be you needed reminding there too
Janis: A good one, never said otherwise, whatever else I did
Casey: Weren’t me your massive strop had a go at mostly, to be fair
Janis: can we call them arguments, instead of massive strops
Casey: what for
Janis: so I don’t die inside every time you say it
Casey: bit dramatic, but alright
Janis: plus it really halves the blame which this time is a win for me 😈
Casey: such a lass when we’ve had arguments
Janis: no, I wouldn’t say you were, don’t be hard on yourself
Casey: wouldn’t say you’re funny
Janis: 🤏
Casey: 🤐
Janis: 😶
Casey: go on then
Janis: [clearly giving you that selfie back]
Casey: a win for me
Janis: [sign whatever rude is because gotta redeem your flop because clearly you’re trying]
Casey: yeah it is, you looking like that
Janis: my face swap surgery got cancelled, give me a break 
Casey: be a dead dramatic car chase scene of me on my way to put a stop to it if it were meant to be going ahead
Janis: how I know you care
Casey: nothing on worth watching over here, might as well
Janis: Gutted he’s got his car, right
Janis: love to let him know I weren’t the one joyriding it this time
Casey: pisstake caring over the phone, feel like one of your online fans
Janis: you’re like a VIP though 😘
Janis: don’t reply to just anyone
Casey: tah very much
Janis: you wanna go to the gym tomorrow at [a time that’d make sense whatever day it is]
Casey: Yeah
Janis: I’ll meet you there so there’s no chance I can stand you up
Casey: I’ll come looking if it’s [literally 5 minutes after whatever time she said because he’s in an extra mood about this given that there’s no way he didn’t get an immediate erection as soon as he saw her selfie]
Janis: I’ll get there [like half an hour before because we mean it and do need to prove that without having another strop at this point but also we’re extra lbr]
Casey: [when you’re dying about that, a note that purely for us that he’s touching himself here now because she wants to see him so badly she’s gonna be early and he’s not okay about it]
Casey: no chance you can stand us up
Janis: [oh lads, the level of cockblock you’re facing, got to enjoy this ridiculous tension limbo forever at this point, you are welcome/not soz]
Janis: none
Casey: none I’ll be a bastard then
Janis: 🏋️‍♂️🥊🤼‍♂️ if you get the urge
Casey: I’ve already got it, never goes away
Janis: I know
Janis: be why they have 24hr ones, like church and mcdonalds 
Casey: challenge accepted, I could go for 24 hours
Janis: Do you think they’d kick us out at [whatever your nearest 24hr gym is] if we really put that to the test?
Casey: might try
Janis: be a laugh to
Casey: have to ban me to get rid, off nowhere til I’ve done the challenge
Janis: how long am I giving you ‘til you drop 💀? Hmm
Casey: how long you giving us to prove myself, more like
Janis: going to have to come up with some rules, make it a proper competition and test, like
Casey: ‘course, we need to do it proper
Janis: I’ll keep thinking about it
Casey: me too
Janis: Can already feel the high
Casey: same
Janis: I think I might do the marathon next year, apparently there’s nothing like it
Janis: pushing yourself past the limit over and over like that
Casey: let’s do it together
Janis: have to look if they let under 18s, I have no clue but definitely
Janis: won’t need to drag you along, like you said before
Casey: meet you at the starting line soon as we both can
Janis: 😁
Janis: at least you’ll know where I’m running, no one can be mad
Casey: yeah, beside me to [wherever your local marathon route approx goes even if he’s guessing rn and is wrong cos he’s a bit busy to google it soz everyone]
Janis: we could do it now, if they’d let us 😒
Casey: we could do it unofficial, give a shit about the medal, long as we have the way we’re meant to go
Janis: that’s true… who’s stopping us? No one
Casey: nobody, I’ll have your back and you’ll have mine, all we need
Janis: standard
Janis: I wanna, my legs ache, being still right now
Casey: don’t be, you need to fucking move
Janis: I don’t know what to do with this energy
Casey: you’ll think of something, you can’t hack being this pent up
Janis: it’s always like this, when I don’t go, can’t
Janis: it feels worse somehow
Casey: holding back feels like shit, why I can’t
Janis: I wish I could be like that, all the way, not making the compromises I have to
Casey: who’s about to stop you right now, do it
Janis: I told you, not loads of people but enough, too many, depending how I’m feeling
Janis: and you’re one of them
Casey: I won’t tell none of the rest if you have a go at it, just this once
Janis: yeah? Keep my secret, like
Casey: what best mates are for
Janis: was that an upgrade
Casey: reckon you’ve earnt one, and my best, like
Janis: give a shit about a medal is right, wow
Casey: better high off us, guaranteed
Janis: you know you’re my only mate, still, s’no competition
Casey: you’d rather keep me and have there be none, what I know
Janis: You get it, like barely anyone else can
Casey: I get you
Casey: we get each other
Janis: Yeah
Janis: it scares me, just a bit
Casey: a bit is okay
Janis: we’re better than that, it’s good
Casey: so good
Janis: I’m sorry, for the shit I said, not turning up, it makes me feel sick now
Casey: I don’t want you feeling like that now
Casey: or ever
Janis: I have to try not reverting back, going on the attack so I don’t have to defend
Casey: you are trying
Janis: I am, for now
Casey: it’s now what matters, anything could happen tomorrow or the day after, we’ve both been there when it has and don’t need telling
Janis: yeah
Janis: people still keep score, all the fuck ups and lapses
Casey: fuck those dickheads, you’ve a clean slate with me
Casey: I’m not bothered how many times I’ve to chuck you one either, it’s hard, you’re trying, I don’t care about owt else
Janis: I’ll always give you the same, swear
Casey: it tends to just be bollocks said nobody means, but it ain’t with you
Janis: hold us to it, not saying I won’t have nothing to say or whatever if you’re a bellend but at the end of it, we can start over
Casey: all I want’s a bit of effort put back in, to go with mine, shouldn’t be loads to ask but it has been before this, with every twat else
Janis: don’t start me on how shit and disappointing most people are, been there, had the rant
Casey: yeah, and I get that an’ all, going about how I hack it different don’t mean I don’t
Janis: I know you do, you’ve just got a 🤏 more faith left than me, not a bad thing
Casey: it’s good, if I had none in you we’d not be mates no more after your massive strop, or our argument, whatever you fancy calling it
Janis: 😏 you can have it
Casey: you can’t stop me believing what I do about you so
Janis: we’ve established I can give it a good go but 
Casey: but it won’t get you nowhere, might as well give it up and let us win
Janis: putting it like that is NOT gonna help your case, is it
Casey: could be named for arguing, me, all we know, with what you’ve wrote there
Janis: I see it more than I see him consulting a baby name’s book
Casey: that or it’s some lad she wished she’d gone out with instead of him, since I were her fave
Janis: I’m not paying to have that psychoanalyzed, so I hope not, for your sake
Casey: worse they could lock me up in the loony bin for, I set foot in one of them dickhead’s offices
Janis: I know the feeling
Casey: told you we’ve loads in common
Janis: having shit in our heads that could get us locked up isn’t a win for either of us but fuck it, breaking even
Casey: the fact it’s there though, for us both
Casey: it’s not something I’d had with somebody, my other mates are all saner, even the ones with 🤏 shit in their heads
Janis: a lot of people have divorced parents, or one that’s a bit of a cunt, isn’t usually the level of the shit that’s gone down for either of us
Janis: unless they’re hiding it, possible but where’s the fun in that, everyone knows my business
Casey: I stand by what I told you about having them about, but you’re my only mate who don’t make us feel like I’m theirs for a laugh. ‘cause my head’s fucked and they’ve no clue what I’ll be up to 🤡
Casey: maybe I’ll chuck a desk at Lucas and be their top mate 1 week, but might be I’ll have a go in a way has them looking at me how I can’t hack the other
Janis: s’alright, we’ve established you’re the healthier/more normal one for doing it
Janis: I just can’t hack it ever, being there for entertainment 
Janis: but look, Rih made a whole career out of it, so, you could do alright from it as well
Casey: I’m not a fit lass, I don’t reckon nobody’ll queue up for me getting my arse out or whatever
Janis: It isn’t the only option, you could be a fighter, footballer, more likely as a lad
Casey: you can’t be fuming and do none of that, only the ref who’s allowed
Janis: fine, get your arse out, apparently there’s no rules about that
Janis: I don’t reckon all of your friends use you like that, just, by the way
Casey: yeah, alright, took bit dramatic off you there for a sec
Janis: people like people who are a good time though, but if that’s mutual then you’re nobody’s 🤡
Casey: fuck it, can’t remember what you said about deep and meaningful chats but you had a point, probably, somewhere
Janis: what happens when the scran is gone and the films over
Janis: all gets a bit 😰
Casey: I’ll piss off, go chat to them all, no danger they’ll have owt deep or meaningful to say
Janis: 😏 
Janis: You meant what you said, not saying anything to the rest
Casey: be at the gym tomorrow or we’ll fall out
Janis: of course I will
Casey: ‘course you will
Janis: have to burn this off, need to see you, make sure you’re doing alright
Casey: I’ll be alright once I’ve seen you
Janis: Hope so, s’the plan
Casey: can trust us on that one
Janis: gym make you pure 😁 anyway, win-win
Casey: right, nowt to worry about
Janis: 🤝
Janis: Better shut up, as you asked, what, hours ago, now
Casey: *👋
Casey: keep trying, this time to have a half decent night without your best mate and only them to hang about with
Janis: don’t be mean
Janis: you could be here, if you wanted to
Casey: I don’t
Janis: I know
Casey: night then
Janis: night, Case
