König attending one of his child's school event's.

Hopecore melts my heart, and I seen a video of people surprising their kid's by showing up too their school event's, and I, admittedly, cried because their reactions are absolutely heart warming.

It gave me an idea to write something about König surprising his little one by showing up to one of their school concerts (Did anyone else use to have those? I hated them as a kid).

I've already written a bit about how König would be as a father, and wanted to write a bit more about it. The trope of a man who's fairly awkward, and distant with other's, but is a loving father is one of my favorites. It's like chicken soup for my soul lol ♡

『⚊⚊☕︎︎⚊⚊﹄

König felt his heart pounding with every step he took, trying to keep his breathing under control with methods he'd learned long ago, and ignore the gawking of other parents, and school staff members as he roamed the halls that seemed to be never ending with ever corner he turned. It wasn't like he hasn't stepped foot in this school building before. In fact, he wished he'd been able to walk these halls more often with every event he ended up missing on his days spent deployed overseas.

It never seemed to get easier being away from his little one. Instead, the hole in his heart only seemed to grow bigger with every milestone he missed, and couldn't be apart of in real time. After all, videos, and pictures could never capture the feeling of warmth that would engulft his chest upon witnessing his child tripping over their own two feet to make their way over to him for the very first time, and fall into his waiting, loving arms.

Despite all of the difficulties that came along with his field of work, the way their eye's seemed to light up, and sparkle when they seen him, and the way they reached their little hand's out towards him as a silent plea to be held in his arm's after being unwillingly seperated from him for months at a time had always seemed to make all of the internal struggles he battled with during the time he spent away in order to provide for his little family worth it in the end.

After what had felt like an eternity, the faint sounds of a piano playing, and children singing filled his ears. Naturally, it sounded horrendous of course, like nails scrapping slowly down a chalkboard, but then again, anyone who would expect musical concerts performed by young children to sound like the next big thing would be sorely disappointed. He wasn't sure what sound was worse, what was most likely the music teacher playing the piano, or the small, high pitched voice's trying to remember the lyrics that went along with that awful tune. Either way, it drew a faint, amused chuckle from him. It was quite cute too listen to say the least.

He wandered his way over towards where he could only assume his child was, and mentally prepared himself for what would undoubtedly be the onslaught of various individuals, loud noises, and cameras. At least, that's what he hoped to see despite his nervousness to face it all at once. It was important for children's loved one's to show up for them after all. It wasn't going to be his favorite thing to endure, but he was looking forward to seeing his pride and joy's surprised expression of utter excitement once they noticed him standing there.

Stepping into the room, he stationed himself in a corner, leaning up against the wall too get himself as out of view as he could, while still being close enough to where his child could see him. Not that he'd be hard to miss anyway, much to his displeasure. Sharp eye's scanned the room, and it didn't take long for him to notice them trying to hide behind classmates in the backrow. If he ever had doubts before that they were his child, then they were completely washed away as he took note of their lost, nervous expression while they messed with their finger's in front of them, and tried to catch up with long forgotten lyrics.

It was clear they'd found comfort in the wooden floorboards in front of them, their eye's locked on them as they tried to ignore the gaze of the sea of people in front of them. Well, they had definitely got their anxiousness from him. König stood still as he silently thought of ways he could steal their attention, and keep their eye's on him in order to block out all the other stares in the room. He worked through the crowd to move closer to the side of the room where his child was, before moving up further ahead.

Thankfully, this was enough to grab their attention as they recognized those run down black boots they knew all too well. Their widened eye's met this, then a big grin began to tug at their chubby cheeks as they stared over at him. A little hand was pointed out towards him as it frantically waved in the air, and he could've sworn they were practically vibrating with happiness as a rush of excitement, and pure, unmatchable joy rushed through them at the mere sight of his towering presence alone.

With a soft smile, he subtly waved back, and gave a slight nod of acknowledgement as his own silent way of saying "I see you." Now, all he could only see, and hear was the apple of his eye standing in front of him as everything, and everyone else in the background seemed to fall nonexistent. The nervous energy that had built up felt like it had been drained from his body in an instant, and he found himself feeling at ease. Nothing else mattered to him in this moment. In his eyes, moments as precious, and as simple as this one is what made life worth living.

I Was Enchanted to Meet You

Summary: Yuu thought that Vil was the most beautiful man she has ever seen. That was until he opened his mouth. (A look into Yuu’s crush on Vil)

Note: I was listening to Enchanted by T Swift one day and then this fic was born. Maybe it was Taylor's purple dress but this song screamed Vil. This fic is based on the song! (unrelated: this was my favorite song from her concert)

Word Count: 1636

Warning: not beta read, possible ooc characters, and a bad take on Epel’s accent (you know it's bad when you have a similar one and can't write it)

Disclaimer: I do not own Twisted Wonderland and its characters. Those belong to Aniplex, Walt Disney Japan, and Yana Toboso.

Yuu and many people in Twisted Wonderland could agree that Vil Schoenheit was beautiful. The Prefect could recall the first time she laid eyes on him. It was during the entrance ceremony that she and Grim barged into when her eyes landed on the most beautiful boy in the world. Even more beautiful than the boys back in her world. His beauty was so enchanting that Yuu immediately developed a crush on him at first sight.

As many teenage girls do, Yuu began fantasizing about him. In a healthy way, of course. She would imagine how their first official meeting would go. She pictured a meet-cute where he saved her after almost tripping on something. He would use his lovely voice to sweep her off her feet and into their happily ever after.

But this was a villain school and not RSA.

Their first official meeting left a sour taste in her mouth. Did he have to call Ace and Deuce, two of her best friends, a potato??!? What was up with that?

In fact, Vil's overbearing self during the beginning of the VDC camp made Yuu change her perspective of him. Long gone were the "and they lived happily ever after" thoughts. They were now replaced with dealing with his attitude.

Everything improved after Vil's overblot. It shocked Yuu to see Vil admit his faults and how he wanted to improve. Their relationship changed even more after Idia's overblot. Vil had even kissed her cheek! If it weren't for the dire situation, Yuu would have fainted then and there.

Vil and Yuu have only remained as friends even up to now. Crowley, being the kind headmaster he was (ha), decided to host a ball for NRC. They were free to invite other people outside the school and show up alone or with a date.

Yuu could not hide her giddy smile when she heard the announcement. Suddenly, her earlier thoughts about Vil filled her head.

"You're making that face again," Epel's voice broke Yuu out of her trance. Ah, that's right, she was studying with him for their upcoming Alchemy exam since he was the best out of the first years. Where were they? In Epel's room. In Pomefiore, where the housewarden was none other than Vil.

"That is just my regular face," Yuu dismissed Epel's statement with a wave of her hand.

Epel frowned, "Ya look like the way my parents look at each other, in love. So who is it?"

Yuu blushed, "No one! Besides, we should be studying, not discussing my life."

Epel sighed and pushed his stuff aside, "Well, we are taking a break. Vil emphasizes taking one so your stress does not cause wrinkles or something like that. I could care less." He grabbed Yuu's stuff, pushed it aside, and sat up to look at the girl. "Who is it?" He repeated.

Yuu crossed her arms, "It's nobody."

"Yer lying."

"I'm not!"

Epel ignored her and placed a finger to his chin to think, "Let me guess, is it Leona?"

Yuu's eyes widen, "Why would I like him? He's not my type!"

Epel shrugged, "It was worth the shot, but now I know you have a type. Let's see…" He trailed off to think. "Is it someone nice, like Trey? Or mischievous, like Lilia?"

Yuu shook her head, "Trey is like a brother to me, and Lilia gives off grandpa vibes. I don't know why, but he does."

Epel nodded, "I see. What about someone strong, like Jack?"

"Jack is strong, but I like him as a friend."

Epel groaned in annoyance, "Can I at least get a hint?"

Yuu sighed, "I guess. what we say stays in here," she said, holding her pinky out to Epel.

The boy sighed and locked his pinky around Yuu's, "Fine."

"It's one of the third years."

Epel remained silent, deep in thought. "We already ruled out Leona, Trey, and Lilia. What about confident guys?" Yuu nodded. "That rules out Idia. Malleus?"

"Tsuntarou is strong and confident in his own way, but it is not him."

Epel hummed in thought again. Suddenly, he frowned like whatever was in his mind disgusted him, "No way it can be Vil. I would feel sorry for ya-" Epel looked up at Yuu's red face, and his eyes widened. "No way! You actually like him?"

Yuu jumped on Epel and placed a hand over his mouth, "Shhh, the whole dorm is gonna hear you!"

Epel pushed Yuu's hand off him, "Gross! Why him, Yuu? Don't you have standards?"

Yuu rolled her eyes and sat back up, "Sure, Vil was an asshole before, but now he's a lot nicer! I admire his confidence and how he is a hard worker."

Epel could only shake his head like a disapproved brother, "I can understand Rook, but Vil is a whole other story."

Yuu sighed before standing up and heading towards the door, "Look, you can think what you want, but that is my opinion. Now, I will grab something to drink, and we can return to studying."

"Does that mean we must start referring to Vil as Pineapple now?"

Yuu laughed as she opened the door, "Better get started on it."

Epel rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone, "Go get your drink and stop talking about yer precious Pineapple."

Yuu only laughed again as she closed Epel's door and went to Pomefiore's kitchen. She went back to thinking about Vil. He was like the unobtainable crushes she used to have back in her world. Those were the guys she knew she did not have a chance with, and she stuck to admiring them from afar.

The thing is, Vil had eyes turn to him every time he ended the room. His beauty outshone everyone, and his hard work to maintain it has paid off. If someone placed Yuu next to him, she would look like a potato next to a beautiful sculpture.

Yuu sighed. She wanted to do the same thing she did for her past crushes, but Vil's beauty was too enchanting to ignore. Even if she did not look as beautiful in comparison, Yuu wanted to be the one by his side, starting with the upcoming ball, assuming Vil didn't have anyone.

(Little did Yuu know that a certain hunter was misleading her admirers from asking her out. All under a queen's orders.)

Yuu was so lost in thought that she did not realize she was about to run into someone until it was too late.

"Watch where you're going, mein Liebling."

Yuu's breath caught in her throat. She was face to face with the most flawless look and alluring purple eyes she had ever seen. The girl internally cursed herself. Why did she decide to study French and not German back in her world? Her French was limited, so she never spoke it in case Rook bombarded her with it. Whatever Vil said sounded close to the language that there was a possibility she could have understood him.

Yuu immediately regained her composure. "Thank you, Vil." Her eyes wandered down, and she realized the predicament she was in. Vil had one arm around her waist, and the other held Yuu's arm. Meanwhile, Yuu (somehow) had her arms wrapped around his neck. Her eyes widen in horror, "Your clothes!" She exclaimed and immediately jumped away. Yuu began searching Vil for any wrinkles, unaware of the frown on his flawless face.

"Yuu, you didn't wrinkle anything. Besides, some things are a more important matter."

Yuu stared at him dumbly. "Like what?"

"Well, Crowley is hosting that ball, and I want to ask if you want to be my date."

Yuu blinked twice at him. Internally, she was jumping for joy and squealing like a teenage girl (she is one). Her dream was finally coming true, and she only had to say yes.

"But why?" Yuu groaned internally. Her mouth betrayed her instead.

Vil sighed and maneuvered Yuu, so she stood up properly but remained in his arms. "You must think you are a potato like Potato 1 and 2, but you're not. You are beautiful, like Fairest Queen. I, the prime example of her, wish for you to accompany me for that night unless you don't want to. I would understand."

Yuu felt her heart skip a beat, and she wanted to faint at Vil's charm during his speech. She could not believe he asked her, a magicless human out of all the beautiful women in Twisted Wonderland. There was only one thing she had to do.

"Yeah, I'll go with you."

A beautiful smile filled Vil's face. "Wonderful," He looped his arm around hers. "Now, where were you heading to? Let me accompany you, and we can discuss our plans for the ball."

Yuu's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Vil's arm, "Can I try on some of your designer dresses?"

Vil looked at her with tender eyes, "Of course, liebling."

---

Meanwhile

"So why do we have to call Vil a pineapple again?" Deuce's voice asked through the video call.

Epel sighed. He could feel a headache forming after explaining it for the third time. "It's a thing girls do where they refer to their crushes as food."

Ortho nodded, his eyes glowing, which indicated he was looking it up. "According to the internet, the codenames could be anything, but the most common ones are fruit-related."

Jack frowned, "But Vil does not even look like one."

"Yo Sebek!" Ace called out, "You have an older sister. Do you get the food-naming thing?"

Sebek scoffed, "You humans are not creative. I have never seen her partake in that."

Epel rolled his eyes, "We can ask Yuu when she comes back." The boy looked around the empty room and then at his textbooks. "Where is she anyways?"

The Concert

Iron dad and Spiderson

I've paid my dues Time after time

Tony mumbled the lyrics of the song playing while still focusing on his new project. Peter, sitting not so far away from Tony, lifted his head from his very much boring school paper he had to finish and smiled brigthly.

"That's one of my favorite !"

It was Tony's turn to move his head up and look at Peter.

"It's one of the best, but not my favorite though." he answered, returning back to his work.

I've done my sentence But committed no crime

"I didn't know you liked Queen."

"Why would I not?"

"I don't know. I just never heard it playing in your lab. I love it though." Peter's knee bopped on sync with the beat of the song.

Tony stopped for a second.

And bad mistakes I've made a few

"Are you sure I've never mentioned I like Queen?" Tony asked. Peter shrugged, tapping his pen on the desk.

"I mean, everybody does. But it just never occurred to me that you do too. You like your hard rock and metal better." Tony chuckled.

It's true that there wasn't enough Queen songs playing in his lab.

"Queen does a good job at that too. You should have seen them live, my god what an experience it was."

I've had my share of sand Kicked in my face

Peter whipped his head up so fast he thought he might have broken his neck.

"What did you just say?"

Homework now forgotten, his focus was on Tony and Tony only.

But I've come through

"Wait- the best part is coming, shut up."

As Tony started singing full heartedly the chorus Peter replayed his previous comment in his head.

You should have seen them live, my god what an experience it was

What does that mean.

"What does it mean?" Peter asked, still not quite sure he actually understood what his mentor said. He couldn’t possibly...

"That they're the champions it's kinda obvious Peter."

"NO. What do you mean when you say that I should have seen them live?!" Peter all but screamed. He wanted answers and he wanted them now.

That seems to get Tony's attention as he put down his tools - previously used as a microphone for his magnificent performance of the song.

"Peter, are you okay?" he asked and Peter's frustration only grew bigger.

"Do you mean to tell me you went to a Queen concert ?" he finally asked. Tony raised one eyebrow, confused.

"Uh- yeah?"

Peter's jaw fell open.

"WHAT."

Tony stared at a visibly shocked Peter Parker. "What?"

"WHAT?!" Peter repeated.

"FRI, is the kid okay there?" Tony asked, keeping an eye on Peter while checking his vitals on the screen next to him.

"Peter is fine, he seems to be experiencing shock after hearing about your experience at a Queen's concert." the AI answered as Tony huffed a laugh.

"Oh okay. Well, yeah I was 14 and on a trip to Paris with my mother. They were there too so we went to the concert and-"

Peter interrupted him, "Do not tell me you met them."

A silence fell in the room as Peter waited for a reply. He watched Tony who stood still.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Well you just told me not to."

That made Peter lose it completely.

"Oh my- don't- is that real? Are you lying to me?"

"I didn't say anything." Tony put his hands up in the air, showing his innocence.

"Did you?"

"Say anything?"

"NO! Did you meet them?" Peter asked again.

"Yes." he answered bluntly.

Peter blinked. One. Two. Three times.

"And you were 14." Tony nodded.

"And on a random trip to Paris." the man added. At some point, Peter was completely disconnected from reality.

How was this supposed to be real? You think you know somebody and then, yeah I went to a Queen concert when I was on a trip to Paris and I actually met them.

What the hell. How the hell. Why the hell.

Tony, who still hadn't move from his position over on his stool, snapped his fingers a few times to wake Peter up from his "daydream" or whatever happened to him.

"Were you ever going to mention this?" Peter blurted out once he was back in this very, very, weird reality. Tony smiled, no- he smirked that bastard.

"If i started telling you all the things that I did and the people that i've met, we would never be done Peter."

This only made Peter groaned in frustration.

"There's worse ?" he asked, although he already knew the answer.

"I have George Lucas' phone number."

Nevermind. Whatever answer he thought he would get could have never been worse.

"FRIDAY I broke him, didn't I?" Tony asked his AI as he looked at the very much not-functioning Peter in front of him.

"It appears so."

'Cause we are the champions of the World

a/n: THANK YOU FOR READING!! This is such a messy story. Also I cannot imagine Tony Stark not listening to Queen- like...impossible. Big Queen Fan here. Also this is a reference to a post I made a few weeks (months?) back saying that I can't believe there are people in this world who went to a Queen concert. Peter's reaction is definitely inspired by how I would react- and it's not over dramatic, it's accurate. Can we say under dramatic? Because that's what it is. Anyway, thank you for the support on my last post, it means a lot. You guys gave me the energy to come back to writing. Don't hesitate to send requests, I could try doing some stuff!!! XX

The dark side of Yandere Narancia

Author's Note: I wanted to make sure I established Narancia as a dangerous yandere. He is my favorite but he is more than just "UwU He baby". Also, this is a post-canon Everyone Lives AU.

((Warning: Threats, guilt-tripping, manipulation, unhealthy toxic relationship, implied stalking, delusional thinking, codependency.))

To summarize Yan!Nara: Narancia Ghirga is a bubbly cheerful ball of energy. When he's around you, he often shows off that signature big grin of his. Narancia is just so dedicated to you, and hangs on your every word. He indulges in your passions, even if he doesn't understand them, because he loves you so much!

Yandere MBTI: Reverent, Delusional, Manipulative, Lenient.

Yandere Type: Simp - The Obsessive Lovestruck type.

The biggest flaw(s) of Yandere Narancia Ghirga: He's a clingy, whiny, guilt-tripping, tantrum-throwing attention whore.

There are levels to Narancia's unhinged behavior:

Level 1

When he's not doing mafia work or hanging with the boys, he's bothering you.

He overtly invades your privacy and your personal space.

He doesn't see anything wrong with breaking and entering or even walking in on you naked.

"Don't worry! It's just me! I didn't break your locks! Oh, could you give me a key? I can help out with bills!"

Level 2

If you decline spending time with him, he will whine and insist you change your mind.

Doesn't matter if you're busy with work/school/drama. PAY ATTENTION TO HIM.

He'll try to bribe you for your time with expensive dates and gifts.

"There's this cool place I wanna take you to!"

"I got the new video game you wanted! Special Edition!"

"I got front row concert tickets to see Trish Una!"

Level 3

You also know his backstory, so he's hoping to use that to guilt trip you into doing what he wants.

If you insist on not going out with him, he will pout and tear-up.

He'll also complain how no one wants to hang out with him, giving a fake apology for bothering you.

"I just.... thought we were close...."

Level 4

If guilt-tripping doesn't work, he will resort to anger. It isn't towards you, it's towards people distracting you from him and his love.

His go-to move is threatening people with a switchblade to leave you alone.

If the problem is someone you're close to, he'll get the Bucci gang create a non-violent solution.

"Sucks that your sister cancelled on you! I got snacks to cheer you up!?"

Level 5

As a last resort, he will appear to you right after a mission. He's beaten, bleeding, barely conscious, and you'll have to rush him to the hospital.

You end up pitying him, leading to you visiting him and helping him recover. You'll even get Passione's gratitude for saving the Don's closest friend.

Ironically, gaining the trust of Italy's biggest mafia makes it harder to leave Nara, fearing it'd be seen as betrayal to do so.

You're not sure if Don Giovanna is the type to kill over minor grievances, and don't want to find out.

Hence, you're stuck with Narancia.

"I know it was meant to be! Everyone in the famaglia loves you! BTW, Giorno wants to have dinner with us! It's weird hearing you say 'Don Giovanna'."

Level 6

He really likes having a switchblade around.

When Narancia's presence puts you on-edge, he also becomes on-edge. He starts fidgeting with the knife in your presence.

What a 'coincidence' that whenever you let him do what he wants, the switchblade goes away!

"Chill! I'm not gonna hurt you with it. It's a nervous tic I got! I don't like arguing! Can't we just cuddle?!"

Extra thoughts on Nara:

It's not a matter of if you get to level 6. It's a matter of when. He will still call and text you repeatedly while he's on missions. If you don't attempt to text/call him back often, you will face his wrath when he returns home. If you get past Narancia's smothering, volatile, and delusional behavior, he's a gentle loving boyfriend who worships you. Things could get alot worse from here, but I want to keep this post Safe For Work.

if you guys have followed me for any length of time, you know i'm pretty open about my mental health. and since it's fall heading into winter where i am, and i know this is a difficult time for a lot of people, i thought i'd share what has kept me going when i'm at my lowest.

cw, this is primarily abt suicide.

i, you

when i was a kid, i was friends with a guy who spent the summers with his grandma down the street from me. we used to play knights of the round table together. as we got older, we drifted apart. we didn't go to the same high school. it was harder, then, to keep in touch. but it still hurt to hear that he'd killed himself in college.

when i'm at a point where i'm planning, what stops me is thinking about you. not just him, you. the person reading this.

i think about who will find me. my roommate? my partner? a stranger on their way to work? and then i think of you again. what will my partner say to my friends? my colleagues? people whom i've started to befriend?

i think about the conversations i have open on tumblr. i think about the conversations i have open on discord. i think about the people i've met through school and work and hobbies and who knew me and who want to know me. and i think about my friend from childhood and how if that still hurts years later, what would it feel like to do that to you now?

maybe you think you don't matter much. but i notice you. even if we're not mutuals, i notice you. and i would miss you.

ii, them

i started having breakdowns before i left my mother's house. she was cruel to me. there were times i thought she wanted me to kill myself. and in that moment, sitting on my bed and crying and so sure that the closest person to me wanted me gone, i buried my face in my dog's fur and i told myself, i can't, because they won't understand where i've gone.

the humans in my life would hurt, but they would comprehend. they might be sad or even angry with me, but at least they'd understand. but my dog? my cat? to them, i would just disappear. it would be like leaving for work, but they'd never see me again. they'd always be waiting for me to come back home.

iii, me

this is not about self-love, this is about all the things i promise to myself to keep myself alive.

i still haven't seen my childhood favorite band in concert. i still haven't taken my partner on a trip overseas. i still haven't finished all the tv shows i said i would. i still need to finish streaming games for my friends. i still have tattoos and piercings to get.

i've seen people ask if life is just a series of distractions. i know it seems bleak. it won't always be. but in the immediate moment, it's enough. we just have to get through today.

MARIANARA SAUCE!!!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!! there were so many songs on my playlist that i wanted to add but i stuck to the rules of the game 🫡

goo goo muck by the cramps

gay thoughts by the growlers

ghostbusters by ray parker jr.

the waves have come by chelsea wolfe

strong reflection by mars red sky

goo goo muck — the cramps: i owned 3 cramps t shirts from middle school to highschool (then i moved and lost em...i gotta find them again...): 1 was just black & white, 1 was black white & hot ass pink, and 1 was bright fucking yellow. all featuring that weird skeleton zombie man from the band's "bad music for bad people" album cover. i loved each and every one of those damn shirts. oh and every time i got my period id wear one of my cramps shirts to school. no idea if anyone actually caught on but it sparked a lot of joy in kid me LOL. the band itself is very grungy and reminds me sm of my childhood going to shitty backyard concerts

gay thoughts — the growlers: the growlers was one of the first bands i ever saw at a real concert, and it was one of the strangest grimiest experiences of my childhood. it took place inside this huge ornate theatre with barely any crowd. everyone was high, the singer kept leaving the stage in the middle of songs/during guitar solos to take a piss bc he kept drinking beers throughout the performance, there were boob shaped lamps lighting up the back stage. my sister was friends with one of the guitarists. and afterwards we got THE best sushi of my LIFE in THE most sketchy ass looking hole-in-the-wall restaurant. truly was just a huge vibe overall and one of the only fond memories i have with that sister. (also this song has the most ridiculous story ever?? questioning man keeps running off to gay drag shows and cheating on his girlfriend with men and it turns out his girlfriend's been using the time he's gone to ALSO cheat on him. but with women. queer4queer solidarity??? the yt video's great)

ghostbusters — ray parker jr.: ok yknow what. i keep trying to watch this movie and getting fucking bored midway through but my GOD does this song fuck. every halloween like clockwork i start blasting ghostbusters and the pure fucking euphoria it brings me is unparalleled. so i guess im not surprised i have it saved on one of my most listened to playlists SDGHJKFD

the waves have come — chelsea wolfe: different vibe than the previous songs and also i feel like i keep finding excuses to talk about this song but my fucking god it is just. so so very dear to me. i think it's genuinely held the number one spot for my most repeats on spotify for like. a DECADE. something about it dude i cant explain it. life changing. heartbreaking. like getting lost in a brutal storm at sea

strong reflection — mars red sky: dude that intro riff. bro... need i say more. low grungy riffs are EVERYTHINGGG if it isnt growling whats the POINT!!!!!!! this song feels like a cargo boat thats slowly rocking in an ocean made of smoke and tar. but also it's in the vacuum of space. and you're tripping balls

none of my super ridiculous cheesey 80s/90s songs got picked which is super fucked up... but oh well... next time maybe 🫶

#asks #music #marianara sauce #TY FOR THE ASK BELOVED #SORRY MY MUSIC TASTE IS..............................THE WAY IT IS

Nov 2022 Wk 3

Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying the most.

Ongoing Series - Thai

Between Us (Sun iQIYI) 2 of 12 - an even better kiss this ep and some background on how both of them are broken and need each other, this is popcorn worthy melodrama, keep it up. WATCH ALONG HERE.

Big Dragon (Sat Gaga) 7 of 8 - musical montage boyfriends date for most of this ep. I’m not mad about it. Like a 50 min OnlyOneOf MV. Poor P9! I think I finally realized why I like this couple so much, they remind me (when they are at their best) a little bit of We Best Love. Oh do we have a Kdrama separation coming in the final ep? Please no.

Ai Long Nhai (Mon iQIYI) 8 of 10 - Nhai’s dad is pretty awesome, and I don’t mind that we had all this time with him and Ai chatting. Tiny concert full of crumbs, but blessed no actual singing! And the nothing continues to happen, and it continues to be shirtless. So I’m happy.

Ghost Host, Ghost House (Weds YouTube) 7 of 8 - Even in a ghost story, if it’s Thailand we’ve got to go to the beach and frolic. Use of I/you pronouns is super interesting and cute. I think what I like the most about these two is that they are so easily and casually boyfriends.

Remember Me (Sun Gaga) 6 of 12 - LeoFiat are still the only thread that interests me, coincidentally they’re getting all the old school tropes too. Bus trip, earbud sharing, shoulder sleeping and everything.

I Will Knock You (Fri Gaga) 1 of 12 - This definitely has all the markers of a bully romance, not my personal favorite. SOTUS not withstanding. This can go into BohnDuen territory a bit too much for me. So far I don’t dislike this show, but I don’t like it either and it’s definitely one of those I wish I had the 10 second fast forward button on.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

My Tooth Your Love (Taiwan Fri Viki) 7 of 12 - Enter the faen fatal and anxiety baby is jelly - doesn't look as good on him as it does on our dentist. But HOW does he still not realize how hard he is being flirted with? I take that back, this isn’t flirting, this is courting. Like ritual old-fashioned gentlemanly marriage-in-mind how many crowns do you want in exchange level courting. I can’t believe it’s gonna be over month before this show finishes. I’m tense now.

Eternal Yesterday AKA Eien no Kino (Japan Thurs Gaga) 5 of 8 - This thing that Japan keeps doing with gay teachers killing themselves is not exciting to me. I really love how Michan is like “look after your own damn boyfriend and stop dragging mine onto ledges”... stupid teacher drama. But oh my goodness is this show achingly sad. This prevailing wistfulness between our leads about the future that they know they will never get to have. The way Michan is constantly listening and feeling for his Koichi’s heartbeat for a reassurance that is never going to come. The way he is reconciling himself with his own loneliness and returning to that solitary state, because he will never find a soulmate like Koichi again. It’s an aching extended wistful dry-eyed kind of yearning and pain. The counteraction to how good Japan is a thirst. This show is going to break my heart. In fact, it already has.

Choco Milk Shake (Korea Strongberry Tues YT) 5-6 of 10 - It’s Strongberry so the blind date is with the boy. Yay! No bones about it (no boning either but hey-ho). Really this is a show about connection and loneliness, it’s kind of gut wrenching for something so silly. I got to say it, because no one else will, but how is uncle’s business staying in business? I’ve never seen a single customer.

Kabe Koji (Japan Mon Viki) 7 of 10 - The date was RIDICULOUS - couple’s keychains and everything. Gah. These two are too much. And then the classic penultimate ep of doom.

It’s Airing But I’m Not Watching It

War of Y (Thai Gaga) 20 eps - it’s just all too much for me.

My Roommate (Thai YT) 32 eps of 2 minutes each + terrible production values? - I’m not bothering.

Fahlanruk (Thai Sun GaGa) 12 eps - I cut my losses at ep 5. DNF

To Sir With Love AKA Khun Chai 16 eps - could be sad v worried

2 Moons 3 (Thai Mon ??) 10 eps - Possibly a future binge watch. Rumor is it’s banal.

SELF (Thai Thurs YT) - DNF

Love Bill (Vietnam Sat YT) - Bah Vinh is back but I’m too distracted. Also there’s a lot of fund raising and stuff going on. I’ll wait and binge.

In Case You Missed It

I did a post on all of Strongberry’s offerings.

Restart After Coming Back Home (formerly Restart After Come Back Home) is now available on Gaga! Go and watch it, it’s wonderful. Now they just have to get Seven Days and my life will be complete and my subscription love for them eternal.

OnlyOneOf is really doing a BL.

I did my GMMTV 2023 predictions.

TutorYim (Cutie Pie crumbs) have been cast as the new leads in Middle Love (formerly Jimmy Tommy).

I think this is a really good choice, actually.

GAP the series (Sat YT) 1 of 12 has started, office set GL. WATCH IT! GL and this studio needs our support! (Also, the stairs are back!)

Coming to Viki: Love in the Air, ITSAY & IPYTM, Remember Me, and 2 new KBLs: The New Employee & Happy Ending Romance.

Next Week Looks Like This:

Starting this week:

Nov 24: Happy Ending Romance (Korea Thurs Gaga) 8 - stars Karam (The Boss), Ha Jong Woo, and Leo (VIXX). Formerly Happy Ending Outside the Fence - thank fuck they changed the damn title.

Nov 26: 609 Bedtime Story (Thai Sat WeTV) 11 - another OhmFluke vehicle that’s rumored to be a good story. A one night stand leads to a series of mysterious premonitions and a possible parallel universe.

Nov 2022 still to come?

Nov ??: My School President (?? GMMTV YT) tester trailer here - it’s Love Sick + Korea & Japan's influence.

This week’s earworm: Hello Hello FT Island, doing the blog post about Kdrama actors who’d never do BL made me think about Lee Hong Ki, which made me go back to their back catalogue. I forgot how fucking killer they are.

I’m so tempted to go to the last show but I already went to Saturday’s show and my mom will most likely not let me go because she’ll say that I already went. Might fuck around and ask my dad to get us tickets because I need to see this last show….

I am really sorry to trauma dump on your ask specifically, and this doesn't really seem like it's your situation. But. I've been wanting to tell you guys this happened last month. I didn't really know how because it was so extreme, even for me usually. But I get a lot of kids venting to me about their parents in my inbox. Just in general, but especially a bunch lately regarding Fall Out Boy concert ticket drama. So I guess this is a cautionary tale and advice for any kid following me with emotionally abusive parents who is having a hard time getting to whatever show on this tour, because I think there's got to be at least ten of you following me

Backstory, I'm 24 and got my first "real" job in February. It's like. An actual job that pays well and has health insurance and time off and benefits and stuff. I never thought this was achievable for me. This came very out of nowhere and was a huge shock to everyone.

My parents definitely did not think I was ever capable of doing this. I think they're kind of in a "denial" phase. They had me 100% convinced I was never going to be able to hold a job and I was always going to be dependent on them or homeless or something, IDK. Anyway, I’ve been there for almost 6 months, so I was taking my first vacation-- like my first-ever actual one with PTO-- to visit my friend and see Fall Out Boy.

My parents had offered to let me borrow the car to do this. They had been telling me everything was fine for months leading up to it. Stuff had been going fine between us for awhile. I delivered my mom’s favorite flowers for mother's day because I was on a business trip. Like a week before this I went out for a "really important" dinner with my dad and his boss and his boss' daughter as a "huge favor."

I also needed to be home that week anyway because I had to see my psychiatrist, and also it was my best friend from high school's 21st birthday. And my parents have 2 cars, my dad works from home and my mom works at a school a 5 minute walk from our house and it was July. So it made no logistical sense for me to get a rental. But if they hadn't offered or been okay with me taking the car, I would have said "Ok, no problem."

Anyway, as soon as I got off the Metra, I knew something was weird. They made me drive and my mom was screaming and gasping and saying I was driving "crazy" and "too fast" when I was going 20 below the speed limit. Also that my sunglasses "weren't safe" for driving. But instead of taking them off, I had to wear hers. She did this when I was a kid and I got anything nice like a sleepover or a Girl Scouts trip or something. She was trying to pick a fight that she could progressively escalate, and then tell me I couldn't go because of something I did or said. And sure enough, when I tried saying no to one of her weird power plays, she started saying I had to do it or I wouldn't see Fall Out Boy.

Except I'm not a kid anymore so this was meaningless. Once we got home I tried to disappear but my dad wanted us to "talk it out." It kept escalating because my mom was fake crying and saying she didn't know anything about the concert until the night before and wasn't okay with me taking the car. Which was all a lie. I started to get pretty agitated, because it was gaslighting in a non-post-ironic sense, and she started filming me. This was something she did a lot when I was younger.

I had been trying my best to ignore her. At this point though, I felt this was going to go on for however many hours it took for there to be some kind of insane drama, and my dad was going to enable it.

Again if they hadn't wanted me to take the car, that would've been fine. But by offering to let me take the car and then pulling this, they tricked me into a situation where getting to Fall Out Boy was either going to be a very prolonged and horrible emotional nightmare, or a a very expensive logistical nightmare. It was also about trying to punish me for going and make my special first vacation-slash-Fall-Out-Boy-Extravaganza as miserable and stressful as possible, I think, which definitely worked.

So anyway, she starts filming me saying I'm being hysterical and out of control. I was pretty upset but I was just sitting at the table and kind of crying.

I was holding a glass of water, so I stood up and threw the water at her. At this point I think everything went off the deep end. I don't want to get into all of it, but there was a lot of screaming. Other highlights included my dad grabbing a knife laying on the counter (lol) and me shattering the actual glass. Then things started getting very physical so I kicked my dad in the balls as hard as I could. After that my mom started trying to call the cops so she could try to get them to take me to the psych ward in a cop car again but I said some stuff that scared her into stopping.

So for anyone following me who's younger and has parents with like mental issues or is in an abusive household. There is nothing you can do to prove to your parents they should "let" you go. There is no magic age where you will be "old enough" to leave the house or do things. There is no GPA you can achieve or degree or even job you can get that will make your parents okay with you going places and doing things. There is nothing you can do to earn it. It is never going to happen.

You just need to get out as soon as you can and minimize contact. Better yet, find a way to go to concerts anyway. I had money and access to a car but I was afraid of drama and thought if I just tried hard enough someday they'd let me go. They were never going to. Just go to the concert anyway and ignore whatever drama happens and know it will be over eventually. The fact that you went will matter way more in three years.

My honest advice to any teenage girl whose parents won't let them go to a concert is this: Literally any slightly older boy will take you to a concert if you buy him a ticket. Do not mention anything about your parents not knowing because they will get paranoid. Be safe, only do this with people you know and trust, do not have sex with anyone, and use your best judgement about the kind of people you hang out with. But this is your best bet. Sneak out if you have to.

But as an example, my friend worked at Jimmy John's in high school and college. All her coworkers were guys and some of them were college aged. We'd go to their Dungeons and Dragons sessions. Literally any one of them would've gladly taken a free ticket to see Fall Out Boy, and none of them would've done anything weird. I could've just told my parents I was sleeping over at her house and not said anything. She could've gone too and then I could've actually spent the night at her house. It would've all been fine. I was just too scared of my parents to do anything like that. If it's on a weeknight just sneak out and deal with it or say you're working and don't come home. Make sure you go to school the next day though.

Also I had money and worked a lot but my parents were really obsessive about my bank account. If you're in a situation like that, just ask your job to start giving you checks, open an account at another bank, and start cashing only some of them there. It's hard and scary and a lot of responsibility, but it's easier than you think, and it's worth it. The people at the bank will help you, just don't mention your parents because they'll get paranoid. (The earlier you start doing this the better--I'm 24 and dealing with the bank drama now and it's way worse than if I had thought about this 8 years ago). You deserve to do things like this and you should not feel guilty about it

Just your gut. Do not sleep over or get drunk/high with a guy unless it's someone you really know and trust. If you're going anywhere with someone just actually be friends with them first. Also do not do this with guys that are too much older either, because they're definitely going to be weird. But if you're 17 and give a 19 year old friend-of-a-friend a free ticket to Fall Out Boy, they'll gladly drive you. If you're in college, just be smart, and be safer than you think you need to be. But this advice applies to a lot of like 18-20 year olds too. Good luck haha

In keeping with tradition, here’s my top ten list of the best events of 2023 and the worst events of 2023, vaguely ranked in the order that they most impacted my life. I'm using the above photo because most of the year I was at the whim of Magnus's sleeping habits.

Best

Magnus finally stopped requiring us to stay in his room while he sleeps. (April-May)

Mags went to daycare. (March 13)

At my 1,200-person firm’s annual meeting in Irving, Texas this year, my company president recognized my little hardworking video team with the highest honor we could have ever hoped for. And unbeknownst to me, my boss arranged for Liz and my mother to be there to see it happen. (October 26)

I committed to a gym. Between developing a regular fitness routine and celebrating a year without alcohol (September 7), I can see positive changes in my body – I lost weight, but now I’m gaining muscle. (March-December)

After attending daycare for almost two weeks, Mags made it through nap time for the first time, which led to staying full days at school. (March 27)

Gus pushed through some fear and developed a love for swimming, thanks to Liz’s commitment to taking him to the pool nearly every day this summer. (Summer)

I joined the board of directors at the UA-Little Rock Alumni Association and the Downtown Little Rock Partnership, two organizations I genuinely care about, and where I feel like I can affect positive change in the community. (January)

We upgraded Liz from a Subaru Outback to a Subaru Ascent, giving our family (and my back) more room to work with. (April 27)

Liz and I watched Chappell Roan put on a fantastic hometown show in Springfield, Missouri. (March 6)

Liz tagged along on a work trip that took us to Greenville, South Carolina, among other places, and we kind of fell in love with the downtown area there. (July 26)

Worst

Gus started playing baseball and I quickly became aware of how little time I have spent playing catch with him or showing him how to swing a bat during the first five years of his life. This is one of my greatest failures as a father to date. (Spring)

The tornado hit Little Rock. Beyond the devastation it caused to the city; I was at work, Gus was at school, and Liz and Magnus were at home – I’ve never felt so strongly the desire to have my family wrapped up in my arms. (March 31)

I couldn’t keep up with Argenta Reading Series, and put it on an indefinite hiatus. Again. (April 29)

Magnus came down with a double-ear infection and a cold at the same time, meaning he and his parents didn’t sleep for a solid week. And on the day he got better, Gus got what we suspect was the flu, keeping us from sleep again. We're still finding used Kleenex around the house, in our cars. (December 10-24)

At a concert this summer, I saw Conor Oberst unleash an immature and irresponsible political rant that’s made me not want to listen to his music anymore, which makes me terribly sad because he’s one of my favorites. (May 15)

I left my Fitbit at a hotel in Frisco, Texas. (June 11) (To raise awareness for my missing Fitbit, my team at work held a surprise mandatory fun walk, which made me so happy, and IT WORKED because when my friend Erin saw the video about the fun walk, she mailed me an extra Fitbit she had.)

The parking deck at the office added bollards to keep me from employing my highly efficient parking deck hack. It took me over a month to develop a new one, but I have and it’s better than the first, and I’m convinced they have given up trying to stop me. (August 3)

Each of my children had weird mishaps at different times that kind of sent me into a “what do I do!?” parenting panic. Magnus got a corn kernel jammed up his nose (July 9); Gus somehow managed to get a sequin jammed between two teeth while on a family vacation (January 4). [The corn kernel incident did payoff with some video footage in which I am the hero, so – given the safe outcome – this one could have easily landed on the “Best” list.]

Gus started getting carsick this year (although, he is pretty good at making sure his vomit stays in the bag we give him).

Gus got strep throat. (mid-May)

Previous Best/Worst Lists: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022.

@anotherghoul666 I AM STILL CONSUMED BY THIS TRILOGY I RE READ IT SO MUCH. It has me in such a fierce chokehold. Melisande??? The Bridge Scene in the 2nd book??? THE THIRD BOOK ENDING LIKE THAT?? Keeping things vague in case anyone wants to read it and doesn't want spoilers. AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I've only met one other person who's read it so I am VERY EXCITED RIGHT NOW :D !!!

And here's the Music Eras of my life. Mostly. Thank you for the tag again! I should probably figure out how to do a read more on mobile one of these days.

First song/artist you remember liking: We were a pretty strict household in terms of music, so probably some kind of religious hymn of I'm being entirely honest. I was permitted whatever played on the Christian radio station. I think the first CD I ever got was Hilary Duff from a cousin!

Middle school anthem: Still not allowed much variety in music...but I had my very first crush on someone who's nickname was "Bumblebee" so when I found Bambi's - Bumblebee, I thought it was a sign.

Road Trip Must Have: Dragonstea din Tai. No explanation needed. If you can't handle me at my numa numa then you don't deserve me anywhere else on my music taste. I will be generous in case I'm traveling with a metalhead and put on the Feuerschanz version. I found them on TikTok recently and they are delightful.

Guilty Pleasure Artist: I second the opinion about nothing being "cringe", but there are a few considered so just because of the fan base around it being weird teenagers. Who cares. Teen years are for being really weird and finding out who you are so you can refine that weirdness blob into a fun personality. I got really into Vocaloid and honestly? A lot of it still hits. And (about to show my entire ass here) Homestuck music. (Gold Pilot 👍) If you know, you know and I don't have to explain myself. We have An Understanding. The Undertale OST by Toby Fox as well by extension. (Bless everyone who got us Muffet and Spider Dance.)

know all the lyrics to: The entirety of the Electra Heart album. I view Lana del Rey gays with mild fascination. Same genus, different species.

A song that makes you cry: Respite on the Spitalfields has hit different since the Ritual back in September. It came on shuffle as I left: We're leaving the city/So this is farewell/ as I merged on the interstate and the tears would not stop coming as I careened down the highway, screaming myself hoarse. How I didn't get into an accident, I will NEVER know.

A song to yell to: Amon Amarth has slowly crept their way into my playlist and I'm very fond of screaming to any of their songs in my car before I put on my "Respectable and Closed Off Worksona"... I really like Heidrun and Shield Wall! So I was really happy to see those pop up in my shuffle game!

Current favorite music video: I'm still obsessed with the animation for Autoheart's Hellbent. My gender crisis has been over for a while but that's what the beginning of it looked like back in high school.

Current favorite Band: Ghost/Sleep Token/ Amon Amarth/Please don't make me narrow it down any further.

If I had to listen to one song for the rest of my life: That would suck. Do I really have to answer it? Alright fine. EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE/. - Shikata Akiko from the Ar Tonelico 3 soundtrack. Only because there WAS a period of time where I listened to it on repeat for a week straight. It's my happy song.

Stuck on repeat: Moscow - Autoheart, because it's the designated song of a very fluffy SwissAlps fic I have about 700 words on. It's also another happy song of mine.

Would Kill to see them live/Again: I have Ritual tickets so. No murder. But if Sleep Token comes my way? Watch out. Also would like to see In This Moment, Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, Dorothy, Autoheart. Ke$ha. Mad Gallica if she ever gets her stageshow dream come true. Would like to go to more concerts in general.

#long post #i tried to color titles to make them pop out but #I'm so tired right now.#Again thank you for the tag and AAaaaaaaa KUSHIEL'S DART!!!!!

Ok but dilf rafe taking his daughter to go see one of her favorite artists, she's about 7-8 ish and rafe's taking her to go see rockstar!r live, he gets her special backstage passes to go at least get an autograph bc of how much his little girl talks about her.

He's done some light research on the band when she first mentioned how much she loved the band. It started when he asked her what she was listening to when she used his iPad to listen to music when she's getting her homework done and her eyes light up when she mentions r and the rest of the band, talking about how good she sounds and how she acts in interviews bc she just seemed so nice and looks so cool. So he's sitting at the table looking at her as she goes on and on about r and decides to look up at any up coming concerts or at least some cool official merch.

When he does see that there is some live concerts coming up just in time for her birthday he decides to go all out with it. I'm talking backstage passes and bringing a couple friends with her. Then when rockstar!r show's up to like sign autographs and what not she ends up Infront of rafe and his darling little princess and he says something like "my daughter wants to be you when she grows up" because truthfully she does, the whole reason why he brought her and her friends on this trip, why he used his family's private jet just to go to LA (with the other kid's parents too) is because of his daughters nonstop praises about rockstar. She talks about rockstar!r when rafe takes her to school, when she's supposed to do her homework, and when they're making dinner together. She's obsessed with r, his little girl wants her hair like R's she wants her clothes to be like R's the whole nine yards so having her meet r in person, even just for a short time, would mean so much to him because it means so much to her.

Rockstar!r stops for a moment having heard what rafe said and smiles genuinely at the pair Infront of her, she walk over and bends down to rafe's daughters height and says something like "dream bigger little bird, you can be anything you wanna be" and signs her picture with a little note of encouragement on the back and she stands back up to look rafe in the eyes before saying goodbye "you guys are adorable and I hope you enjoyed the show" she looks down at the kids and finishes signing the other things little Cameron's friends give her before speaking again "but I've gotta go now, ok? And don't forget you can be anything you want to be" The little girl nods and squeals before quickly talking to her friends when she's out of earshot, rockstar!r takes one last look at the pair and catches rafe's eye. They look at each other before she heads off to her private room. He looks at her as if he's silently thanking her, she's looking at him and waves and then waves to the little girl who made her day and smiles when she rapidly waves back before finally reaching her dressing room.

Idk but rafe definitely buys more tickets to her shows after that, but only because his daughter really loves the band and what not... That's definitely the only reason 😉 It's definitely a fun thought to think about 🤷🏽‍♀️

🫠🫠 I love this!! So much!!!

100 questions about tremolo (my platonic tc) answered!!! PART 2!!!

50. Do you think your feelings for them will fade once they’re not your teacher anymore? i think he'll always be someone who i'll remember. he's made a huge impact on my life, so i genuinely don't believe i could forget him.

51. Have they ever complimented you? YES. SO MANY TIMES HE'S THE SWEETEST-

52. Have you ever hugged them? YEAH SO MANY TIMES AS WELL IT'S LIKE THE MOST PARENTAL HUG EVER TOO IM 😭

53. Have you ever given them a gift? If yes, how did they react? well, i wrote him a valentines note, and before you go off on your merry way it is NOT the valentines note you're thinking. our school had us write one note to a teacher for valentines day as an appreciation kinda thing. you could only do one. i chose tremolo. BUT BUT BUT he gave me a gift heheheheh- well, technically not a gift, but oh well- i had a really shitty bow in 7th grade and he was all "you are too good of a violinist for that crappy of a bow. here, you can borrow mine" and i just??? never gave it back???? HE ACTUALLY COMMENTED ON IT LAST YEAR (9TH GRADE WAS THE FIRST TIME HE NOTICED LMAOOOOO) AND WAS LIKE "wait is that my bow?!" AND I SAID "yeah 😭 you told me i could use it in 7th grade and i didn't know if or when i should give it back so i just kept it 😭" AND HE WENT "OH MY GOD- you know what? you just keep it. it's yours at this point..."

54. Do you ever dream about your TC? i've had a few dreams, but they were all really sad or weird

55. What is your favorite dream you’ve had so far regarding your TC? bro took the orchestra to his house to meet his mom for some wacky reason and made up put on an impromptu concert for her 💀 (his mom lives 6 states away from us)

56. Do you ever daydream about your TC? If yes, what do you daydream about the 2 of you doing together? hm, not really??? i mean, i've pictured in my mind what he'd be like as a father but that's it.

57. What is your happiest memory with them? OKAY ALL OF THESE ARE REALLY SAD WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT BUT IT SHOWS WHY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH- IT'S A THREE WAY TIE 1. this one was in nashville and i'll never forget it. it was like 10:30 at night and we had all just gotten back from dinner. in fact, i was the only one still up in my room (there were 3 other girls besides me). i had gotten a text on my phone, and guess who? tremolo. i had no clue why he was texting me until i saw the content of the text. (context: my friends had been concerned about me committing sui in nashville, because i had lowkey implied that i wanted to) he was like "hey, how are you doing? be fr with me... mental health and whatnot is important and i just wanna make sure you're okay." i then said "this is an obligation text, isn't it? did *the name of our principal* text you about my friends?" he had no clue that i knew that happened, but my parents already chewed me out on the phone for it, so there's that. he replied with "not obligation. in fact, they told me to not say anything about it and just keep an eye on you, but i know you better than they do, and you're pretty honest when someone's concerned, so what's going on?" me and him stayed up until 1 am just back and forth texting... it was... comforting to say the absolute bare minimum. it was nice to know that someone genuinely cared about my life. he never left my side during that trip. he was so determined for me to have a good time and NOT die so it was nice...

THE LAST TWO ARE RELATED TO WHAT THAT SON OF A BITCH DID TO ME (clover) 2. so, after she completely cut contact, i was having the biggest breakdown of my life. like, a 3 hour cry session. in the middle of school. it was bad. luckily, tremolo let me stay in his class for the whole time, and was always checking in on me. all he did was offer me a place to go, sit and listen, and make me feel less shitty, and that made such a difference... like genuinely, the best thing in the world, and the thing i needed 3. (TW: SUI DO NOT GO FURTHER IF HEAVILY TRIGGERED BY IT) so after the whole clover thing, we all know what happened. i attempted suicide. i was going to call my therapist as a last resort, but she was in the middle of a session, so i couldn't. i then decided my final call would be to the only person who was on my side through all of this, tremolo. i told him i was sorry, and i thanked him for everything he had done for me. he started getting panicky going "cas, where are you. i need to know, now." i hung up when he started asking and started climbing up the ladder to the school roof, and about halfway up, i heard a voice shout "GET DOWN HERE!!!" it was the vice principal and the school counselor. i got down the ladder as the counselor walked me to her office. on the way there, i saw him pacing the hallways anxiously, and when he saw me, his face lit up as he ran over to me and hugged me. he went "THANK GOD YOU'RE OKAY..." apparently, he called the counselor and vp in a panic. he was the one who saved my life that day. thank you so much, tremolo...

58. What is your least favorite memory with them? WILL NEVER FORGET THIS ONE. HE NEVER YELLS AT STUDENTS, BUT BOY WAS HE PISSED THIS DAY. my 8th grade ass decided to go against being a second for once in my life. i wanted to play the 1st violin part to one of our songs, but he wouldn't let me. he never said why, he just wouldn't let me. i assumed that he thought i wasn't good enough, so what did i do? i memorized the first violin part and played it instead of the second. i carried the second violins, because none of they were accurate or loud enough to make a difference, so i was basically the entire second section. he was already pissed that day, and i didn't know that. he handed us the sheet music, and i started playing the first part. at the beginning of the song, while conducting, he said "SECONDS?! LOUDER." and then he realized why they were so quiet. because i wasn't playing second. in the middle of the piece, he screamed "AND SUDDENLY, WE HAVE NO SECONDS. THANKS, CASPIAN. SCREWED UP THE WHOLE PIECE" i bawled my eyes out in the bathroom after that, and couldn't even look him in the eye when i left his class. the next time he saw me, he apologized profusely, because it was not what he intended to do or say at all. yeah i hate that memory, but hey, he said me being so eager to take first was what got me moved up in 9th grade, so good job for being a rebellious son of a bitch, 8th grade me.

Can you write in cursive? Well, yeah we had to take it up in school. We were also required to write in cursive in some classes in high school so to this day I can adjust easily between print and cursive.

Have you ever viewed the moon through a telescope? Sure, once. We had an overnight stargazing activity in school and they rented out a few telescopes to let us see the moon and some planets.

Where do you like to sit in the movie theater? Anywhere in the center section is ideal, but if those happen to be booked then I don’t mind sitting at the back-ish rows, as long as it’s not the literal last row.

Do you know how to properly eat food with chopsticks? Yup. I’m 100% sure I don’t actually hold the chopsticks properly when I use them, but I can at least keep my food up and that’s good enough for me haha.

Have you participated in a marketing survey? Eh, sure. You know those websites that send you money when you answer their surveys? I used to take those when I was a jobless fresh grad during the pandemic as a way to try to get some sort of income, no matter how small. I earned all of ₱30 during that time LOL because I wasn’t qualified for most of the surveys that were available.

Do you normally finish one book before starting another? No. I’m bad at reading in the first place so I usually jump from one to another without ever finishing any of them.

Do you prefer Chinese food, Mexican food, or Italian food? None of these are my go-tos but at this moment I’m feeling Italian the most. Then Chinese, then Mexican.

What genre of film do you usually watch? Drama.

What was the last TV show that you watched? Seventeen’s 13 Castaway Boys.

Which branch of science do you find the most interesting? I liked biology; I enjoyed the memorization that came with it. Also astronomy!

Do you prefer reading books, comic books, manga/graphic novels, magazines, or the newspaper? Magazines and the newspaper. I’ve always been partial to nonfiction.

Do you believe that people can change? Yes, but it doesn’t come easy.

What book are you reading right now? I’m not reading anything at the moment.

Was there anything that inspired you today? No. I actually felt down today, so I’m not in the best headspace. I did turn on a few songs that I usually listen to when I seek comfort, but it wasn’t to get inspired but rather so I can push myself to cry because I’ve been needing to let the tears out for some time now hahahaha.

Are you more of a leader or a follower? Follower. I can lead, too, but I always appreciate a little bit of guidance.

What is something that you’re looking forward to? My trip to Thailand.

If you were an animal, which one would you be? Dog.

What was the last performance/concert you went to? Seonho’s fanmeet back in January.

What is the last dream that you remember? Good one. I can’t actually remember the last that I managed to remember upon waking up.

How could today have been better? I wish I didn’t have to dedicate half the day for work. I wish I could’ve just rested. I wish I didn’t have to mentally prepare for a work event tomorrow (Sunday).

Salty or sweet? Salty; was never one for dessert.

What is the last song you listened to? Life Goes On by BTS.

Is there anything you’d like to buy right now? CLOTHES. I need to get new stuff for Thailand so my photos can look cute!!!!!! I also still need a concert outfit!!

How would you describe your job? Requires a lot of grit and patience.

What was the first thing you ate today? Siomai.

Do you know how to play chess? No, I never understood how it works :(

If you were given the chance to be immortal, would you take it? Nah.

What is your favorite hot drink? Not big on hot drinks.

Which meal of the day is your favorite? I usually splurge for dinner, so that.

Is there anything right now that you’re craving? Not really, I’m feeling pretty full.

It’s sinking in. I’m seeing My Chemical Romance tonight. After two years of pandemic postponements. After six years spent thinking my favorite band would never reunite. It’s really happening.

In 2016, I was….going through a lot. That was the year I was supposed to graduate from college, but circumstances forced me to drop out. I felt bitter, watching my former classmates graduate without me. I had also just gone no-contact with my abusive parents, and was attempting to live in my own place for the first time. My roommates were actively stealing from me. My old friends from my hometown ghosted me, and my new friends became….actual ghosts. 😞 Oh. And I also got run over by a fucking truck while crossing the street.

I… didn’t want to live anymore. But I stayed alive, telling myself, what if MCR reunite someday? Wouldn’t you want to be here, to see that?

The dark voice in my head insisted, they’re never coming back, it’s all pointless. But every night I used to watch some random clip of a concert in 2007, where Gerard pleads with the audience to never, ever “p*ss their life away on suic*de.”

Okay, Gerard.

If you say so, Gerard.

I don’t know why I’m doing this for you, Gerard, but maybe someday I’ll look back and be glad I did.

And then in the autumn of 2016, I started this blog. And I could never have predicted, all the wonderful, incredible friends I would make because of that.

Tonight I’m wearing one of the MCR shirts @au-revior-little-biscuit sent me for my birthday in….I want to say 2017 or 2018?

I’m wearing the incredible shoes that @thorn-apple-thekilljoy hand-painted for me.

I’m wearing the Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge eyeshadow @idontwannabetherightwayround sent me in the mail.

I spent the whole trip up here texting @robinruns and @thewordworrier and @eerie-von.

I feel like I’m not just going to the MCR concert. I’m carrying the whole MCR Tumblr community with me.

I feel so blessed to have been a part of this community for six years. Even though I don’t actively write MCR RPF much anymore, I just feel….so blessed to know y’all.

My irl circumstances have changed so much in the last six years, too. I went back to school and got an Associates degree. I got a better job. I made amazing friends in my own city, like @burning-river-ghost, who is attending the show with me tonight!!

I feel so abundantly fucking happy to be alive 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

#suicide tw #I’m fucking emo okay 🥺

Ooo lucky you actually saw them. I wanted to but I was a late-ish fan and I could never afford to see them. But thats cool, did you cry? Were they perfect? (My younger self could never) And honestly yeah id feel superior too if I were you lol luckily within my friend group I was the only one that liked Niall so I felt superior as well lmao they all liked Harry or zayn. Liam was another underrated one.

We all had the shrine lmao mine was just everywhere, my whole room was just 1D or the wanted smh it wouldve been the the cherry on top of I had candles back then lol

I havent seen the tik tok, I should look for it tho somehow. I have a love hate relationship with tik tok. I just create unhealthy habits with things I swear. At least a girl could own the cringe lol I cant lol I took his lil face everywhere, a school field trip and everything, I even showed it off to my parents like they should be proud LMAO and I showed my friends who for some reason also wanted a head of their favorites like bro no you don't want that lol I wish I had the girls confidence to keep bring his cut out😂

Dude back then all the Zains were gettin it. My cousin who was a zayn stan also met a guy named zain irl like bruh she was all heart eyes just cuz of that. Its funny that thats no longer an original experience for her😆

Idk were just a special breed of people lol

I saw them in 2014 with 5sos as support act. It was peak everything. Its also the only concert i travellec abroad for (also my first ever concert haha) because when they were doing my local show i was at 8th grade camp which is a big thing so i couldnt miss that. I recently found my/my mom's videos from it and jesus the quality is not it. All just screams and the bass blasting off the speakers but god if it wasnt the best nigbt of my life

And no but i the name wasnt even the reason i had a crush 😭 he was tall and funny and i was a tween and was falling head over heels for any boy that paid an ounce of attention to me. The fact his name was zain just made it funny (we bonded for both having Z names. Slay)

I literally never met a liam fav im sorry he was not it for me

Ooh, also, in 8th grade we had to hold presentations about songs. And my bestie and i did Best Song Ever. Never did i have to prepair so little haha. We knew everything by heart, from info about the boys to the lyrics to the script of that bit at the beginning of the video and all the choreos. I remember they asked us to do it again because we danced along as we were watching the vid and i felt so proud because they all seemed genuinely impressed with our knowledge haha

#ranking the boys would be #1. louis #2. niall #3-4 zayn and harry (interchangable)#and then sorry to payno
