Reality Show: Dateables (Obey Me!)
Tumblr media
Diavolo and the others agreed to become a part of a new demon reality show that revolves around their lives.
»Characters: Dateables // ->[Click here for Part 1: Demon Bros]
»Tags: Shitpost/Humor, Bulleted Style, Solomon On His BS LMAO, Slight Mentions of MC
»Notes: Now I do, thanks for asking Anon!♡ // CM= Crew Member
Tumblr media
Diavolo:
"Haha! Make sure you get my good side yeah!?"
He was ecstatic, this was the most exciting thing he's done in a while
His camera crew was nervous at first but then relaxed when they saw how easy-going the prince was
Then got nervous again when Barbatos threatened them to remind them who they're in the presence of
Filming him kept them on their toes, it was either going to be an easy normal day or a chaotic one
[Camera zooms in on Dia's photo album and zooms out to an excited Dia]
"Oh, oh! And this is me and Lucifer at the carnival! And this one is me and MC! And here's us all together!"
CM: "My lord may we ask how you feel about MC?"
[Camera pans to Dia reaching for a journal titled MC Fanfiction ]
"I'm glad you asked."
Barbatos shut that down real quick and made them cut that last part that day
[Camera cuts to Dia doing selfie POV and running from Barbatos and the crew] "-AND LUCIFER HAS THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS B-"
[Camera cuts momentarily, flashes of Lucifer and Dia struggling]
Naturally, the demons loved the prince even more after filming ended, it was nice to see another side of him
Tumblr media
Barbatos:
"Delete that. Understood? 🙂"
Hated the entire show idea and tried to talk Diavolo out of it however he lost that battle
His camera crew was scared the entire time but filming him was easy for the most part
Viewers liked seeing the day to day things the butler did for the prince like preparing meals and organizing events
[Camera shakes as they trail behind Barbatos]
"You can't follow me into my room."
CM: "But the contract states-"
"🙂"
(nervous) CM: "Wow what's that!?" [Shakily zooms in on a clean empty corner]
[Distant camera keeps panning between Barbatos and a rat having a stand off just outside the castle grounds... it runs at him]
"TELL THE YOUNG MASTER IT WAS AN HONOR-"
CM: (Scares the rat in the opposite direction)
[Camera cuts to a disheveled Barb up in a tree]
"...Do you like pastries? Luxurious rare teas? How do you like to be rewarded?"
Tumblr media
Simeon:
"Um...hello. I'm Simeon, an exchange student from the Celestial Realm."
Didn't mind being filmed but wasn't sure how to act so:
Main Character energy, he talked like he was on livestream, very show and tell; exactly what the show needed
His crew had a pleasant time with him and viewers loved the angel
[Camera zooms out and pans around his room, focusing on a sheep plushie]
"So this is where I live...and these are my things. I love to write in my spare time!"
[Camera pans to him looking out his window]
"You can see the House of Lamentation from this spot. Always seems to be on fire on Thursdays. Explosions are Saturdays. (BOOM) Ah, right on time. (sips tea)"
[Camera quickly zooms in on his shoulders and hips losing some focus] He's unaware of the fanservice he provides
CM: "Do angels ever get crushes, are they allowed? There's rumors with you and MC-"
"Um, well, you see, oh HEY LUKE! Sorry guys I promised I'd help him with baking!"
[Camera cuts to him pulling an annoyed Luke out the room]
CM to CM: "Can angels ever lie!? Is that allowed!?"
Tumblr media
Luke:
"For the last time, I'm not a chihuahua!"
(whispering) CM to CM: "Heh, the rumors are true. He's got a little bark in him!"
Luke was nervous about filming but Simeon helped
His crew had a hard time with him; not that Luke was difficult but more so the crew had to watch what they say or how they act around the young angel
[Camera zooms in through the kitchen door and catches Luke dropping a whole bowl of batter]
They caught him saying his first bad word
Demons liked this 👍 Simeon did not 👎
CM: "That's too high, let me get that for you."
"I can do it myself, thanks!"
[Camera pans to Luke falling, scraping his knee and tearing up]
(sighing) CM: "Come here, I got a band-aid."
Tumblr media
Solomon:
"Is this for a cooking show?"
Would not listen and made it a cooking show
His crew rolled with it anyway since it was easy to film him
"Welcome to Solo Cooking!"
Viewers were a little confused but continued watching
[Camera tries to focus on the fresh dish he made]
CM: "Oh that looks good can we try it?"
"By all means!"
His crew had to take a few days off from nearly dying so production moved slowly
One of the CMs ended up quitting and suing but Barb took care of it
[Camera catches Solo calling & inviting MC for dinner]
Out of good faith, one of the crew took his phone and chucked it
"...You could've just said you and the crew wanted an invitation? There's enough-"
His entire crew: (start running)
Viewers were a little disappointed, they thought they'd see more of the sorcerers life
There was one clip though
[Camera catches Solomon and the rarely seen Levi hanging out and laughing]
For some reason that clip became popular and was deemed precious

'Okay, Dracula.' I love this show
They have an insane system for categorising the supernatural. So many different subsections and numbers. Just lump em all in 15 vague categories and move on.
Gwen is such a bitch 💅
Time isn't real!
Now we're in therapy??? Fucking finally.
(But didn't Jonnny say that he didn't want to use recorded therapy sessions as a plot device? I thought that came up in TMA S4.)
Oh no eating disorder :(
Oh yay tattoo! Lol I also got myself new tattoos for my 30th. It's a good thing to have stuff in common with characters in horror podcasts, right?
Ugh getting a tattoo livestreamed would be the worst! Here's several hours of sitting perfectly still while experiencing a reasonable amount of pain and a stranger is touching you in ways that may or may not be very intimate the whole time. But now with an unknown amount of strangers watching!
Yeah this sucks supremely. I require a minimum of a year to be anxious about my prospective tattoo designs, the idea of getting something done without even knowing what it's going to be makes me feel nauseous.
'Cleaning their bloody tools'??? The fuck??? Not how tattoos work.
The design sounds cool tho
And it sounds like she didn't have to pay or do any aftercare? Maybe the cursed tattoo is worth it
Plus it has art magic!! Sign me the fuck up I need a cursed tattoo that makes me a good writer (and also eats me alive or whatever probably)
But I guess you never think your work is good enough and work yourself into exhaustion trying to perfect it? Yeah I'm still on board, I already never think anything I create is good enough.
Oh shit she doesn't mean adjusting the painting she's carving her face up. Uh oh!!
And carving her everything else up.
This is a boneturning tattoo. I've been tricked!
She was using acid???? 😬
Anyway Alice is right. Simply ignore the horrors and don't let them bother you. This is an effective coping strategy that never comes back to bite anyone or causes future problems.
Alice's sibling is in a band! Good for them.
Luke.
Sam, please. We don't do any extra research for this job. Stop caring and start coasting. The Magnus Institute is probably nothing and I'm sure it won't come up again :)

The Afterparty
Author's Note: The basic idea is that instead of thinking about going to the dance, MC decides to plan this event instead. I like associating songs with different characters and thought it would be fun to imagine a concert where those songs would be performed/covered.
MIDNIGHT CONCERT AT THE FALL
DOORS OPEN AT ELEVEN
FEATURING THE EXILES
۞۞۞
SETLIST
Hellraiser by Ozzy Osbourne
You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi (Blue)
Bloody Mary by Lady Gaga (Purple)
For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert (Light Blue)
VOID by Melanie Martinez (Orange)
Alone by Heart (Green)
INTERMISSION
For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica (Teal)
Money Make Her Smile by Bruno Mars (Yellow)
Feed My Frankenstein by Alice Cooper (Red)
She by Harry Styles (White)
bad idea, right? by Olivia Rodrigo (Pink)
ENCORE: Do Not Disturb by Halestorm (Black)
۞۞۞
FUN FACTS
MC always wanted to release their inner rock star but never felt confident enough to do so.
Diavolo was the one to suggest the concert as MC was sharing songs from the human world with him.
Each song on the setlist is attached to a color, and each color is associated with a person.
The songs (excluding the encore) get introduced by a color wheel.
Except for the opening song, MC wears something matching the color of the song they're performing.
MC sings and plays guitar and the piano.
۞۞۞
SONG DETAILS
Hellraiser is linked to MC.
Lyric: I keep saying that it's getting too much/But I know I'm a liar
Lucifer is Blue.
Lyric: You paint your smile on your lips/Blood red nails on your finger tips/A schoolboy's dream, you act so shy/Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye.
He is in attendance. One, he wants to keep an eye on Mammon and Asmo. Two, Barbatos had a extra ticket and invited him to tag along.
Part of him feels embarrassed to hear MC call him out like that, but mostly seeming them perform arouses him.
Belphie is Purple.
I mean, have you seen his battle sprite? The boy is a trained dancer.
The song is heavily choreographed.
The choreography is influenced by ballet.
He is not in attendance. He went straight back to the House after the dance to sleep.
He watches a video of the performance the next morning and is impressed by the artistry of the performance.
Simeon is Light Blue.
Lyric: Oh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet/You thought an angel swept you off your feet/Well, I'm about to turn up the heat
MC remembers how he behaved at the traveling carnival and decided to channel that energy into their performance.
He is in attendance. Solomon dragged him to the Fall after they settled Luke down in his bed.
He is BLUSHING.
Most people would think that he's horrified by the provocative lyrics, but no.
The song might as well be one of his diary entries describing how he feels about MC, so hearing them sing what's been on his mind...
Levi is Orange.
MC is attached to a wheel of death that magically spins and deteriorates as the song progresses.
The song describes someone who judges themselves harshly and has major anxiety.
If that isn't Levi to a tee, I don't know what is.
He is not in attendance. The dance drained his social battery, and he needs to be alone for a while.
However, he watches a livestream of the event on his phone, so he's witnessing the performance in real time.
By the end, Levi can barely see the screen due to the tears in his eyes.
Satan is Green.
Satan + pianos = match made in heaven
Plus, it's a rock ballad.
He is not in attendance for the same reason as Levi. He finds The Fall too loud for his liking.
He watches the performance the next evening after he's done studying.
He thinks the performance is beautiful.
Barbatos is Teal.
It's canon that he likes metal music.
I'm in the group of people that believe that he would enjoy Metallica.
You know the riffs played on the bass guitar? Well, imagine that they're played on a violin. Now, imagine that the person playing the violin is none other than Diavolo himself.
The reason for the intermission is so that he can disguise himself so that people don't suspect that he's on stage with MC.
As mentioned earlier, Barbatos is in attendance. He's the only person outside the band that knows about Diavolo's musical feature (which is basically how he got tickets to the show).
He appears stoic on the inside, but he's simply enjoying the music in his own quiet way.
Now, slight detour but still relevant to the song: I've seen a couple of posts that state that Lucifer has listened to Metallica. One of them presents the idea that he listened to the band a lot during his rebel angel days before he fell but that he only listens to them occasionally as a demon.
Needless to say, as soon as the music kicks in, Lucifer is literally this emoji: 😳
Mammon is Yellow.
It's literally in the title. What more could you ask for?
MC plays the role of an announcer, introducing a "new girl in town".
Who plays Mammon? A female doppelganger.
As mentioned earlier, he is in attendance.
He is BLUSHING (Part Two).
He has no idea what he's going to do the next time he sees MC. Will he faint? Will he compliment their performance? Will he pounce on them like an animal? The world may never know.
Beel is Red.
Food metaphors for sex? Literally Beel.
The second song that could be a diary entry.
He is not in attendance, for he doesn't particularly like the food they serve at The Fall.
He is instead eating at Hell's Kitchen when one of his classmates rushes up to him and has him watch a livestream of MC's performance.
Let's just say that he starts craving something else the longer he watches the performance.
Solomon is White.
I mean, he is the whitest boy in all of the three realms (lol).
In all seriousness, I know that in the original game, white was Luke's color and Solomon was a rainbow (like MC), but considering that everyone else has their own color and that MC wasn't performing a song about Luke...
Some background information: Harry Styles has admitted that he and his bandmates were on shrooms when they recorded this song and that the guitarist that plays the solo at the end (Mitch) didn't remember playing it (because he was that high) and had to learn it before they went on tour so that he wouldn't mess it up.
Needless to say, the song's trippy, and I think Solomon has a trippy vibe to him, so hence the song choice.
As stated earlier, he is in attendance.
He appreciates the work that went into the performance (which features some trippy set pieces).
Asmo is Pink.
Third song that could be a diary entry.
We all know Asmo's a slut, and we love him for it.
I also think he's a major pop rock girlie, and he would definitely be a big fan of Olivia Rodrigo (especially after GUTS).
He'd definitely be singing along and having a blast.
Not just during this song, but the entire concert. He LOVES seeing this side of MC.
Diavolo is Black.
*cough* Even if the devs can't settle on one shade *cough*
ANYWAY.
Out of all the songs, this is the one MC is most nervous to perform.
You see, they don't want to get in trouble for putting Diavolo on blast, and they almost don't perform the song at all.
However, after hearing the crowd begging for an encore, MC puts their fears aside and decides to just go for it (and worry about the consequences later).
MC has had a base costume that they've accessorized with different colored items throughout the evening. Underneath this base is a black lingerie set that they bought during a shopping trip with Asmo. This set gets revealed during a pause in the song where the lights go out briefly and come back on.
To make a long story short, MC is definitely getting railed after the concert.
Oh, and the "girlfriend" mentioned in the song? Lucifer.

Patreon Update (December ‘22)
Happy new year everyone, I hope everyone survived the hectic holidays and is doing well. I know that my Tumblr sort of fell to the wayside in 2022, but I’m hoping to find a better balance this year as I have done a slight revamp to my Patreon where I now only write 5 stories per month rather than 6. 
I’m already hard at work for the next few months of content both here and Patreon, especially the Learning A Valuable Lesson series for Tumblr, which has actually been expanded from a two-parter into a complete trilogy. So be sure to be on the lookout for part two, it’s going to drop on the 20th. In the meantime though, the blog will be kept updated as I’m planning on doing a week or so of Q&A so I can try and engage with my followers more since I appreciate all of the support.
Now with that tiny bit of housekeeping out of the way, here’s a quick little summary of the stuff I’ve released over on my Patreon over the past month. If any of the following stories intrigue you, please feel free to click on the title so you can sign up for the appropriate tier to read it! I’d love to have you join my Patreon and my Discord community, where you can view exclusive photo captions.

Wrestling With My New Life
This 10.4k word story was created due to a patron-voted poll that was meant to help influence who my new host body would become by picking a clothing item for me to base this new body on - the wrestling singlet option was the clear winner. 
After being forced to do a livestream by my followers and undergoing transformations that turned me into a submissive and big-assed twunk as a result, more followers begin to chime in and turn me into their ideal jock fantasy. By the time they're done changing me, will I be able to remember who I am and stop what's happening to me or will the straight himbo life they've given completely take over and leave me too stupid to stop what's happening?

After reaching out to an individual named Soul-Controller, Lucas' fantasies soon come to life as he possesses Kirk and immediately gets to work changing the man's image with his team by acting like a confident himbo while seducing and setting up a new power dynamic with Kirk's wife...

Rome, GA Ch D SF: Gabriel Decamps/Alex Rybakov def. Daniel Cukierman/Joshua Paris [3] 7-6(5), 6-3 Match Stats
Tumblr media
📸 ATP Challenger Livestream (via website)
It was close, but it was too far. Not merely one or several errors could be to blame, because keeping up with the momentum is a tough task to do on the field (despite it being theoretically feasible). And here was how everything unfolded.
While Cukierman/J. Paris relied mostly on their first serves (winning slightly 4% more points from there than Decamps/A. Rybakov), their second serves once again barely existed since they won 36% of their points from there. The 6 double faults could be blamed for some occasions, but that was a result of being pressured by Decamps/A. Rybakov's return games.
And speaking of their return games, it worked when it mattered. Down a break in both sets, they managed to find a way to keep Cukierman/J. Paris off the balance, sometimes ended up with either a forehand or a volley error in some crucial points. While Cukierman/J. Paris' working shots (some, somehow) led to them having 10 opportunities to break, Decamps/A. Rybakov converted four-seventh of their chances (including some that capitalized on the other pair's errors) to finally regain their serve, in which they held for the most times. That being done, in the second set, rewarded them the set and the match altogether.
Decamps/A. Rybakov will then face the second seeds, Luke Johnson/Sem Verbeek, who defeated Alexis Galarneau/Edan Leshem in rather a more straightforward manner, 6-1, 6-2. Despite this semifinal being a close match, knowing what Decamps/A. Rybakov could do, it would be interesting to follow what this final has in store! It could be a close match as well, to top how wild the Rome Challenger doubles draw has become!

In May of 2021, with zero advance notice or fanfare, Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and drummer Tom Skinner debuted a new project “The Smile” via a livestream at the UK’s Glastonbury music festival. It featured a few surprising elements: Thom (happily) playing rock music, Jonny on bass/harp/piano, and all three band members trading instruments from song to song. Never ones to make the same record twice, their set ventured into elements of prog rock, punk and fusion at times, and needless to say, I was mesmerized. I spent the next calendar year anxiously awaiting their new album. When it finally dropped, it was as great as I’d hoped, and (IMHO) ranks among the best work any of them has done in their previous 30+ years of making music together. They announced a tour shortly thereafter, and I then spent the next 5 months awaiting those dates. So, to say I was really looking forward to this weekend after that 1.5 year journey would be a gross understatement. The lads didn’t disappoint! Their two Brooklyn sets this weekend were fun, colorful and intimate events (even a cavernous theater like King’s felt downright cozy after seeing them in arenas over the years). They performed their whole record, along with an additional 5 new songs, and a cover of one of Thom’s solo songs. After being a fan of these guys since I was a teenager, it’s incredible that after all these years, they can still manage to create cool new material, reinvent themselves, and somehow still even manage to surprise people, despite being members of one of the biggest bands on the planet. My wingman in awaiting these shows was my old buddy Luke, who’s been a fan equally as long, and also attended on Friday (photo by his lovely wife Olivia). Already looking forward to the next time!

"Best Years" is Lashton AF
"Best Years" from 5 Seconds of Summer album CALM (2020)
Written by: Luke Hemmings and Ryan Tedder
Let’s take a look to see who the song is written about by looking at what Ashton has said, what Luke has said, looking at the lyrics, and observing the official visualizer video.
Tumblr media
Ashton Irwin 1 year anniversary of CALM ig livestream from March 2021
Ash is all smiles and happy talking about it.
The Edge played the guitar part.
Hoped it would be a big hit so people would play it at their weddings, if you believe in marriage.
“Beautiful thing to say, that ‘i'll give you the best years of your life. And that i love you and I commit to you and I'll nurture you, no matter what’.
Ash said he left the writing session because he tends to write sadder minor (scale) songs, and this was a happier major scale song.
youtube
Ashton’s word choice of nurturing and loving one another no matter what, I’m immediately reminded of the ig story/twitter post he made to Luke, about their time spent together during the Youngblood album era. Youngblood was released in June 2018. Post was made August 2018. CALM is the album released after Youngblood. So, CALM was quickly started after YB release.
Tumblr media
Also, Ash says he's not really into the idea of marriage but his tweet says he's into the commitment part. 🤷‍♂️ Though Ash says this should be used as a wedding song, the lyrics never says anything about marriage, only a long time commitment to someone.
Tumblr media
What Luke told Apple Music about "Best Years"::
“The first demo was just one guitar and my vocal. Me and Ryan [Tedder] wrote a bulk with the vocals on our own, and then we had The Edge from U2 play the guitar on the bridge. That was awesome. The song is a beautiful love note—something I felt I needed to get off my chest. That’s the best way songwriting can be: cathartic.”
The narrative currently being sold to the general public is that this love song is Luke writing about his current girlfriend/fiancée, Sierra. Let’s take a look at the lyrics and see if that actually makes sense.
"Best Years" - “Best” by definition means “of the most excellent, effective, or desirable type or quality”. “Years” is pluralized so this is about a multitude of years.
You've got a million reasons to hesitate
Knowing this is a love note, I’ll use that for figuring out the meaning behind each lyric. So, this leads me to believe Luke’s saying, ‘Look, I know there’s so many reasons why you could be unsure about being with me. Possibly reasons pertaining to things that I’ve done, choices I’ve made, how we’ve been towards each other, what you’ve been through, if you trust this could work, your own history with love and what you’ve seen of it, etc etc etc…’
Or it could simply be this person is a bit scared to commit to just one person for their future so they might use reasons to hide from love.
But darling, the future is better than yesterday
He starts with the use of the affectionate pet name “darling”. Luke wants this person to look forward to what they can build of a relationship together, learning from the past to improve and strengthen the love shared between them. Optimism, with an air of certainty.
I wasted so much time on people that reminded me of you
A bit of self reflection. Luke was with other people, but all that kept happening was there were traces of what this person he really loves is like, as well as they were missing what this person has so he missed those things about this person. In order to be reminded of someone when you are seeing others, you need to have been around the person you’re being reminded of before around other people. Possibilities: the realization of who he’s meant to be with didn’t fully register with him yet, or he knew who he’s meant to be with and was actively trying to suppress it, or this other person could’ve been with other people so Luke was being with other people because he wasn’t able to be with this person. Luke has only known Sierra since 2018, and that's when they were supposedly publicly dating pretty quickly. So, this isn’t about her since there was no time for him to be with other people or know her well enough before seeing anyone else, for this to even be possible.
Gave you a million reasons to walk away
Referring back to the first line. This person has seen Luke at his worst. Not only are there reasons this person could hesitate being with him, but there's also reasons this person could give up on him, if they so choose. This could be Luke being humbled about perhaps owning up to mistakes he’s made or things he’s done that could have driven this person away.
But I'll build a house out of the mess and all of the broken pieces
Luke’s “Build[ing] a house” could be interpreted as turning the brokenness, into a place of stability, so he and this person can then turn the “house” into a “home” that he and this person can share.
I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Repeating lines gives emphasis. Luke is really trying to reiterate to this person that the love they have is worthy of a long future and it’s what he’s offering this person.
Past love burned out like a cigarette
A cigarette is mind altering while smoking but ultimately is bad for you and only lasts a short term. It’s interesting that Luke chose to use a cigarette as a metaphor. Luke doesn’t smoke, but you know who does? Ashton does! And he doesn’t condone it. He’s tweeted against it and has said that he only does it when he’s stressed. Which further supports this lyric is about something that ls not good for you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years
Unhealthy, short term love is the opposite of what Luke is offering this person. He’s offering real, true, healthy, long term loving commitment. He’s making a promise to this person that it’ll be worth it and not something they’ll look back on and think they never should’ve made the choice to be with him.
I wanna hold your hair when you drink too much
Carry you home when you cannot stand up
Luke wants to take care of this person and to make sure they are safe and be their support whenever they can’t manage it for themselves.
You did all these things for me
This person has a long history with him, including partying together. Luke was through with his hard partying days when he lived with Ash in 2017, so, there’s no way Sierra had the opportunity to do “all these things” for him. On the other hand, Luke and Ash were known to party (which included lots of drinking) quite hard along with their other bandmates, for years. London was party time, LA was party time, and while touring the world was filled with plenty of partying. Also, Ash is a few years older than the other 5SOS guys. So he took on a dad role sometimes, but he’s especially looked after Luke. There’s lots of instances Ash has looked out for and had Luke’s back, throughout the years they’ve known each other. The way they met started with Ash coming to Luke’s defense. He was there for him from day 1, before they even properly knew each other.
When I was half a man for you
For whatever the reason was, Luke is saying he wasn’t at the level of maturity to be there for this person that he should have been with how this person was towards him.
Luke has spoken about being slightly more unsure of himself than the other 5SOS guys were when the band first started. Perhaps that inhibited him from knowing himself well enough to step up to the level of maturity his partner would need him to?
Also, if you are inhibited by out of control partying, that’s going to make it difficult to be there to your greatest abilities for a partner.
I wanna hold your hand while we're growing up
This again, hints at someone he has known for a long time and continues to learn new things and grow as a person with. But, he wants to do this alongside this person as equals. They would be on that journey together. Luke and Ash have already been growing up, in age, as bandmates, but also while they’ve grown through personal shit together. The way Ash wrote his reflection about 2017/2018 with Luke, it was life changing the amount they each grew, going through it together. This would take a strong kindred soul spirit type of bond to go through and still get stronger because of it, instead of giving up.
But I'll build a house out of the mess and all of the broken pieces
I'll make up for all of your tears
I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Past love burned out like a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years
The best years
I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Past love burned out like a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years
I'll give you the best years
“Best years” is repeated so many times in this song. It’s like a rally cry for love. This time he’s practically shouting over large drums. It’s like he’s yelling his love declaration from a rooftop.
The visualizer for “Best Years” (Audio) on the official 5SOS youtube channel makes use of only the colors pink, purple, blue for the whole song. The bisexual pride flag colors. The “Not In The Same Way” visualizer uses the same colors, which is a song that is also Lashton AF..
Tumblr media
youtube
In conclusion, "Best Years" is Lashton AF.

Hello!🤍🐥
5, 20, 43 & 51 for the 5sos asks
hi!! thank you for the ask!! hope you are doing well 💖
5. top five songs overall?
this is a difficult question LOL based solely on my tastes and preferences etc I’ll go with (in no particular order outside of the only reason as 1st):
the only reason, story of another us, os/co, close as strangers, and high (honorable mentions to moving along, over and over, red desert, and kill my time)
20. a song that indulges your emo needs?
I’m going to say over and out? first because drums. second because alex gaskarth writing credits.
43. what color do you associate with each of the members?
THANK YOU FOR THIS QUESTION! I have so so so many feelings about 5sos and colors that I’m putting it in small text to save space. if it’s difficult to read pls let me know and I’ll make it bigger. it just got a bit… long and honestly I have more thoughts about like their ships/pairings as well
okay so easily Calum is dark green. like specifically dark green like forest green-ish in terms of like range of green between yellow and blue, as well. this is because Calum is very very much a cool color—but blue is too cool, like even teal isn’t warm enough to capture the grounding that Calum has, yet he lacks the energized aspects of the warm colors. he definitely has some yellow—he’s pretty friendly and he has his brighter moments, etc (I’d say a lot of his luke and duke interactions are this) but he’s an earthy color. he’s grounded. he’s thoughtful and introspective and while that can be self-orientated he’s very aware and observant. like he’s just… he’s the dark green that resembles the non-creepy sort of comforting surrounding of a forest/trees.
michael is red and I mean bright red like his hair. an unforgiving and unapologetic red. the kind of red that sticks to everything it touches and sticks out in a crowd. which seems odd for michael, but to me he’s always comes across as someone who doesn’t go down quietly or without a fight. someone who wants to know they done something with their life. which is pretty universal, but michael is such a driven dude and he’s 5sos’ number one spokesperson regarding pushing them towards bigger risks and greater chances (them dropping out and the killer queen recording are two examples) and that’s something I find to be bright red? that it’s a fiery sort of passion that can be burning or just a light? that michael is emotions in the sense that I’m sure he has a bit of a temper? but also is so… when he’s happy and proud? he’s so genuine about it? like in general he’s very genuine whether he tries to pretend like he’s not and that’s bright red bc there’s no hiding bright red? it sticks to everything and I do think something about michael is so specific that he leaves behind something with everyone he meets.
luke is blue, usually a sky blue, but a wide array of blues. like everyone has duality but luke does in a way that’s unsuspecting? in the way that blue jeans aren’t usually bold but a swipe of blue eyeliner is a whole statement. he’s blue in that luke moves a lot between softer and harsher sides, deeper and brighter moments. that there are distinctions between front man luke and interview luke and livestream luke and luke posting things on social media that are… subtle but stand out. that he can take up a whole arena with his presence but just from an interview? hard to tell he’s the lead singer sometimes. he’s blue in how blue is full of things. full of meanings from stormy seas to clear skies. full of capacities from making an outfit go from dressy to casual to stepping up an all black fit to a focused statement moment. he’s also just a cool color in the sense he’s introspective and logically led (which is how I associate colors) but he’s a lot more free? airy? than a grounded color like green. he’s mostly clear skies though. and it’s a warm and happy that’s not necessarily the full warmth from the sun on skin? more like that feeling of “today will be a good day” that he’s a star but night skies and bright lights or going unseen in the daytime. just a whole lot of duality in this man i’d say.
last but not least, ashton is a deep red. the kind of red that’s usually velvety or viscous. to start, he and michael are both red (in general) for the emotions I associate them with. they both carry an ability for warmth (think red and fire etc) and they both are emotion dudes. passionate af. they’re the kind of colors with something to say and won’t go unheard. that said, ashton is the “layers” deep red can have. which is like more so the way ashton has very purposeful personalities for situations (like I said with luke) but they’re very *line down the middle* sort of distinct. that he’s the dad friend and the uncle and the older brother and the snippy cousin who won’t talk to you at family reunions and also that other cousin who will start up a conversation out of no where. he’s full of opinions and thoughts and it’s deep red in the sense that he won’t always share them? but they pull or reach out and sprinkle in things he creates. idk if calum’s the open comfort of a forest then ashton is the embrace of a library or comfy couch in a dimly lit room.
51. realistically, what member do you think you’d get along with the best and the least (based on how they appear to the public)?
I can tell you that I would get along with Ashton the least. Particularly as current Ashton, while earlier 2014 Ashton might’ve been the best for this question. I just don’t think I’d vibe with him? We’d probably get angry at each other lmao
Maybe I’d get along with Michael best? He comes across as a friend you don’t need to have a lot of shared interests to maintain a friendship with and I’d say he comes across as pretty patient with people. I think we’d get along regarding these burst of wanting to talk to people and hang out but also having moments of needing space and some realm of alone that isn’t lonely.
5SOS asks!

Obey Me! One Master to Rule Them All! Headcanon #10 Part 2
Tumblr media
Someone asked me and it’s been a while since I did a headcanon. I was planning on doing this, but, I got busy, and tired... But, now I’m going to attempt it! Inspired by this!
https://youtu.be/af0yjIYSezM
youtube
MC and the others had run Lucifer out of the House of Lamentation. MC had done it for the chaos, and he got backing from his Ride or Dies. So now came the harder part: RAD. Asmo, Satan, and Levi were going to be busy before classes, so they were out, but Mammon, Beel, and Belphie were still in. They had posted the video on Deviltube, and it went viral, they made a plan and set it into motion...
Before classes even began, but still when everyone was hanging around, suddenly... a funky beat came up on the intercom... it was Staying Alive by The Bee Gees, and yes, it was an hour long extended version.
Lucifer was walking with Diavolo and Barbatos when he heard the music. At Diavolo’s castle, he took it upon himself to do research on what the heck MC had his brothers doing. He found the first part with that cursed take on me song, and then he saw the second part, it started with the same song that was playing right now. Lucifer widened his eyes as he realized what was happening...
Simeon and Luke: The Angels were the first ones to see MC, Mammon, and Beel with Belphie on his back doing the funny jogging walk. Luke was horrified at what was going on, wondering what these demons do to make MC do this. Simeon however, not even knowing what was going on, found it fascinating that it was MC who was leading these brothers. And it fit in rhythm with song that was playing on the intercom. MC and the other brothers stop and keep up the stepping as they turn to face Simeon and Luke, Belphie hanging onto Beel, and waving at them. Simeon stared at them, and could feel himself feeling the rhythm. Suddenly, Luke was being left behind as Simeon had joined their game. Luke looked on in horror as his best friend fell under their odd, foolish looking spell. Belphie had given Simeon a bunny ear headband and huge sunglasses, and he fit right in.
Solomon: Heard the song playing on the intercom, and was grinning his butt off. He kept on walking as he looked back and saw the gang coming down the corridor with their funny stepping, and a bit surprised to see Simeon had joined them. Solomon honed in on MC, and he knew that it was their idea, they had been causing such a ruckus ever since arriving at the Devildom, and this was nothing short of chaotic. And he lived for chaos. Solomon put on a rainbow witch’s hat, and a polka dot bowtie, and started stepping with the gang. And little did Lucifer know that they were getting closer and closer...
Diavolo and Barbatos: They were with Lucifer when this was happening. Lucifer was desperately trying to get them to the student council hall, where they would be safe. But Diavolo was enjoying the music, and Barbatos saw this possibility coming, and could hardly contain his smirk. Unfortunately for Lucifer, this was not the possibility where he would be escaping the embarrassment. The group rounded the corner and stopped their parading to do their high stepping in front of Diavolo, Barbatos, and Lucifer, whom would be shriveling up in sheer embarrassment. Barbatos hid his mouth with his gloved hand, stifling a laugh at how ridiculous and amusing they looked. But Diavolo looked on at MC, Mammon, Beel and Belphie, Simeon and Solomon, and... it looked so much fun... Cut to the next minute, and Lucifer is defeated, as he sees Diavolo, with a half masquerade mask on, stepping with the group through the halls of the academy. Barbatos was chuckling at the livestream that Belphie had started on Devilgram of them doing this activity. Lucifer having secondhand embarrassment was understatement of the year.

I am not one to use social media, but this whole sh*t show is something I will not take sitting down. I’ve seen some messed up things on the internet, but the cyberbullying by the “Camily” is really disturbing me. Before I get to my criticisms and thoughts, I will briefly address Luke Deacon. The allegations against him are not without evidence, namely from a public social media account. One of these allegations is very serious, and can be considered “revenge p*rn which can actually lead to charges in the UK. I’m not sure if it’s the same in the UK, but in my country Luke can be legally labeled as a sex offender if convicted! This is all I know of the situation but since many of Luke’s fans are underage girls who are also fans of Queen and the Bohemian Rhapsody movie I don’t feel this issue can be totally ignored. I consider Luke “innocent until proven guilty”, as I am an inhabitant of Freedom Land. The first issue I will address is both of Cam’s parents, as I want to discuss them before the “Camily” as they’re not directly involved with the cyber bullying, at least to my knowledge. I admit that I have never met John or Veronica Deacon. I have no knowledge of the intimate details of their family life, and their parenting skills. I do have a fair amount of knowledge of John‘s time with Queen as he is my favorite surviving member of Queen. I find researching his life and trying to understand someone who seems an overlooked and complex figure in music. Yes, John is Cam’s father and to me he’s an interest, a subject I enjoy learning and trying to understand him like I do with other things I’m interested in. Meanwhile, to Cameron he is “dad”. I understand that it must be hard seeing people on the internet either make untrue statements or discuss aspects of one’s father that isn’t flattering. I get it, But Leopard (my nickname for the victim) made it clear when replying to asks that she doesn’t know things and addressed when discussions involved speculation or rumors. She also made it very clear that she didn’t like discussing John’s competence as a father and his children. These subjects made her uncomfortable but she still addressed them in a respectful way. John Deacon was a part of one of the biggest bands in the world. People are going to discuss him. Leopard didn’t do anything wrong. She admitted that John Deacon had flaws but was still sure to admit that she doesn’t know the whole story. I think her attitude is reasonable. I saw the stream the night Cam’s parents came on stream. At first I saw it quite humorous with a boomer bumbling in, ignoring his surroundings. He almost seemed senile. But as the stream went on things got uncomfortable and my attitude changed. Cam’s parents were doing the right thing as loving parents. They came over because Cam has a history of not managing his diabetes properly. His father (his mother explained) was becoming worried about his son’s glucose levels and tried to contact him. When he wouldn’t pick up his phone his father became worried and the two went over. Cameron was peeved and rude to them. I don’t think John cared about if people on the internet saw him. He was too focused on making sure his son wasn’t in danger and that his phone was charged. He only left when he knew his son’s levels weren’t too low and his phone was charging. He even mentioned off screen that he brought some treats (I have no idea what he said, and if it was a favorite sweet or what) from the store. I’m just making an observation of a stranger peeking in, but I think it’s clear John adores his son. Maybe the scant bit of interaction I observed of John Deacon as a person (instead of Queen’s bassist) was of a devoted father who was telling his adult son “I love you, I want you to be happy and I will be devastated if anything happened to you” without saying it verbally. People have different ways of showing their love. I know (per interviews with John) he experienced loss at a very young age when his father passed away. I don’t know John’s personal thoughts and relationship with Freddie Mercury and how his death affected him personally, but watching someone’s health decline due to AIDS is probably an upsetting and unforgettable experience. I bring these two examples up because this to me suggests Cam’s dad knows first hand how delicate and precious life is, wisdom that Cam seems blissfully unaware of due to his disregard of his parents’ anxiety. Cam obviously knows his father better than I can ever, but sometimes it’s good to have a different perspective. On to Mama Deacon. Yes, she was shouting at her adult son while he was live on stream. Like Cam’s father, she was completely in the right. When she said they were making sure Cam “wasn’t dead” and that Cam’s life was at stake, she was not being overly dramatic. If a diabetic’s blood sugar is too low their body can actually go into shock and than into a coma. If one doesn’t manage their diabetes this can happen and it can kill you. Diabetes is a life threatening condition. I’m not a diabetic, and I’m sure it sucks and isn’t easy to manage. Cameron is an adult at 27. His parents will not always be around to help him. If he wants to live by himself his priority should be learning to manage his diabetes without his parents’ help. His life literally depends on it. His glucose levels is far more important than his streaming career. Until he proves he can consistently manage himself to them his glucose levels are their business. Additionally, since they pay for his flat it’s technically their’s and thus can come over when ever they want. If anyone was being “inappropriate” it was Cam. His mother carried him for nine months, at age 43. For a woman her age, pregnancy can be risky and very hard on her body. She has cared for her son’s health issues, helped him through school and has loved him unconditionally. She seems to have done everything she can to protect Cam and pushed him to be the best person he can be. And this is only what I’m aware of. At her age, she should only leave her home when completely necessary to protect herself from Covid-19, for she is in the age group most at risk. Her son wouldn’t even leave his chair to greet her. Do you know how my parents would react to me if I acted the way Cam did Sunday? Most people can only dream about the privileges Cam has. Again, I don’t know everything about Cam’s life but what I saw was a mother and father trying to do what is best for their son. If Cam is so concerned about his parents’ privacy, why didn’t he turn off his stream? He could’ve even walked off to talk to his parents rather than continuing to play and yelling at them from his chair? This whole situation can be solved simply by Cam answering his phone, keeping it charged or even walking off camera to talk to his parents rather than barking orders from his screen. As I said earlier, to them their son seems more important to them rather than their privacy. Cam makes such a big deal over their privacy but I think he also has to respect his parents’ feelings and all that they do for him. Part of respecting them should include making a better effort to take care of himself. Five hours without food excepting a bowl of cereal could give me low blood sugar to the point of trembling and not being able to concentrate. Since Cam did just that, maybe his parents’ concern of his blood sugar is not without merit. Cam mentions his mental health issues and depression. One of the ways to help stabilize his mood would be stabilizing his blood sugar. The Camily should consider my words as they criticized Cam’s parents’ behavior. I have addressed the Mama and Papa elephant in the room, I will now focus mainly on Cam’s “Camily”. Due to time restraints, I will address the Camily in a later post. In the mean time, there is a difference between “haters” and critics. A hater says things simply to hurt or insult. A critic disagrees for a reason. If anyone thinks I’m a hater that needs to be “bunny blocked” go right ahead. I don’t care what strangers, many of them children think of me. I think bunnies are cute. Send me bunny emojis if you all think I’m spreading hate. This will only lend more evidence that the Camily is leading an internet harassment campaign. BTW I have been owned by pet rabbits since I was seven. Let me tell you, Mr. Bunny is unhappy to know his good name and image is being used as a symbol to bully. No, I am not jealous of Cam. I am proud of my family and wouldn’t trade them for any other. My dad has a profession I consider noble and was the one who raised me. The same goes for my mother. My extended and nuclear family includes firemen, a priest, nurses, teachers, librarians, a researcher studying cancer, a lawyer and engineers. None are famous but I don’t care. They are good people and it doesn’t matter how much the public knows about them or how much they earn. What matters to me is that they work hard and have a strong moral character. If you do wish to harass me, I ask of one thing. Show my post to Cameron Deacon and have him read my post (and any later ones I hope to soon put up) on his Livestream. If Cameron thinks I’m being a bully or am wrong about anything, please have him show this to his parents, the two people who love him more than anyone else does. If they think I’m wrong about anything or am bullying their son, have them PM me so we can discuss. Do not bully anyone who posts or likes this.

Best Years: CH
Tumblr media
Gif from HERE
A/N: So this is the first thing I’ve written since last year? A lot was happening but CALM came out and I saw the stream and I got inspired so I did it. It’s short and tiny but it’s here. And thank you to @5sosdrfluke​ and @whatmakesmehappyy​ for helping me cause I kinda lost my marbles at some points. I’m also posting this now as I have a panic attack so here we go dudes
Words: 977
Pairing: Calum Hood x GN! Reader
*Warnings*: None
Summary: You’re dating Cal and you accidently interrupt the CALM livestream but it all works out adorably
Masterlist   Taglist   Request
CALM was officially out and the live the boys planned had started. You were so proud of them for all they had accomplished but you were especially proud of Calum, your boyfriend. He had grown so much since you first started dating and it was amazing. Wildflower was quite the hit and it was all him, so of course you were in love with it.
Since this stream was about the boys and the album, you and the other girlfriends decided it was better to not join so everything could be focused on them. Of course you still watched it with your headphones in so you could still support them, but you couldn’t stay silent for long. You commented every once in a while, when something happened that you couldn’t keep to yourself. Your laughs were kept quiet so there wouldn’t be a chance anyone could hear you and it was all working great. Was is the key word. After Calum played Wildflower, he had gotten up to stop the record for a moment before resuming with the next song. Duke had followed Calum, being the sweet dog he was but he had come back and he tried to jump onto the couch but he missed. Before you could stop yourself, you began laughing, loudly. You felt horrible for laughing but it had been so funny to see him pop on screen only to fall. Comments flooded the live, asking who laughed and if it had been you. You tried to play if off and stifle any further giggles, but it was useless since Michael called you out. “Y/N? Did you just laugh at your dog missing the couch?” He glared at the camera and though you knew he couldn’t see you, you knew he was looking at you.
“It was funny!” You yelled back, hearing yourself come back on the stream. People began agreeing with you, saying they had laughed as well and since everyone knew you were there, you yelled again. “Everyone agreed with me Mike!” Michael only rolled his eyes and Calum came back on screen.
“What happened?” He asked, clearly confused as to why you were yelling and people were flooding the comments talking about agreeing with you.
“Your girlfriend just laughed at your dog failing to jump on the couch.” Michael sighed, leaning back into his spot to get comfortable, since this next song was slower.
Calum laughed and shook his head, picking up Duke and setting him on the couch. “He does it a lot and we laugh every time. It’s funny.” The two boys continued to talk for a few more minutes before the conversation turned to the next song. Best Years was a slow and adorable song that you loved. Luke had done an amazing job writing it and the song really conveyed what love is and how it feels. In fact, you felt like it summed up your relationship with Calum almost perfectly. Calum actually felt the exact same which is why it didn’t surprise you that before they played the song, Calum asked if you’d come sit with him and tell the stream how you described the song when you had first heard it.
Quickly, you threw on one of his hoodies and came to sit next to him, waving at the phone as you did. Calum’s face lit up when he saw you and as soon as you were set, he said, “Tell them what you think of it baby.”
“Well,” you began, stopping to gather your thoughts. You were honestly a little nervous because there were thousands of people watching the live video and there was a lot of pressure. “Well, I think the song is a perfect example of what it feels like to be with someone and to be so in love that you just want to give them anything and everything. It’s like you love this person so much that you make sure to tell them that yes, there were some hard times and you understand why they would leave but tomorrow will be better. You want to make all the hard moments disappear because you’re giving them the absolute best and you want life to be like that forever. You want your time together to be the best they’ll ever have.” Michael remained silent after you finished talking and when you looked over at Calum, you could have sworn your heart stopped. He was watching you with a look that could only be described as pure adoration. His eyes sparkled in the dim light as he looked you over, taking in your features. He’s seen you plenty of times but every time he looks at you, he treats it like it’s the first and last. It’s like he wants to memorize each and every mark and line and commit them to memory so if that’s the last time he ever looks at you, he’d never forget. His touch is the same way. In your most intimate moments with him, his hands lovingly traced every bump and curve, stopping to admire all of them. When his fingers danced over the spots you were most insecure about, he’d draw little hearts or kiss them and tell just how perfect you are. “Best Years is the way Calum loves me, like I’m the only person in the world.”
“And,” Calum added, grabbing your hands in his, “the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Can’t forget that part.” He smiled and gave your forehead a quick kiss, not wanting to do much more on a livestream.
“You guys are so cute it’s disgusting. Can we get on with the song now?” Michael asked, his voice coming through the speakers.
You and Calum only laughed and shared a quick kiss before you ran off to your shared bedroom to watch the rest of the stream.

Homily for St Charles Borromeo with First Communions
Phil 2:12-18; Ps 26; Luke 14:25-33
Tumblr media
In 1576-77, plague struck the city of Milan in Italy. And the bishop of Milan at that time was today’s Saint, Charles Borromeo. He has much to teach us today, and his example is still relevant to us particularly at this time. As he ministered to the sick and dying of Milan he told his people: “We have only one life and we should spend it for Jesus Christ and souls, not as we wish, but at the time and in the way God wishes.”
As a bishop, St Charles was attentive to the science of his time, and he accepted that the gathering of people for public worship could be a danger to public health. So, he closed the churches of Milan for up to two years as the city struggled to bring the plague under control. I don’t think the situation is anywhere near as severe in our times, and the medical sciences are more advanced today, but St Charles’s example reminds us that what we are facing – the closure of our churches for public worship – is not historically unprecedented.
But St Charles didn’t simply close the church doors. What he did was to celebrate the Mass outdoors and on street corners so that people could watch from their windows. The practice of not receiving the Eucharist in Holy Communion, and of only making a spiritual communion, was then a common practice for the majority of people. And for many of us at this time, it is a practice that we need to learn anew. St Thomas Aquinas reminds us that before we receive the Eucharist we should be spiritually united to Jesus, we should already love him, desire to receive him, and be trying to live a life pleasing to him. If we do so, in those times when we are prevented from receiving the Sacrament itself, then we are assured that God comes to us, and makes his home in us through charity, through the infusion of his sanctifying grace. Thus Jesus says in St John’s Gospel: “If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” (Jn 14:23) This is not the fullness of sacramental communion that we may wish for, but the reception of spiritual communion is a practice that the Christians of Milan in St Charles’s time knew well.
However, for six of our children tonight, the fullness of communion, of receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist is something that they shall enjoy for the first time. They have been preparing for this moment when Christ will come and make his home in them. So as to receive Jesus well, they will have been making a place for him in their souls, first by confessing their sins, and then learning more about the Lord Jesus, and trying to love him more. For the more we love Jesus, the more ready we are to receive him in Holy Communion, to offer hospitality to Jesus, our divine Guest who come to make his home in us. This is why spiritual communion is important, and I believe that the Lord has allowed all of us to undergo this period of Eucharistic fasting again because, all too often, people have received Holy Communion without being truly prepared, without having repented of their sins, and without having due reverence and love for the Eucharist.
Therefore, to facilitate spiritual communion if the Bishops agree to stop public Masses for the next four weeks, then, this church will be open for private prayer, from 4pm – 5pm from Monday – Saturday. On Sunday, the church will be open from 2pm – 3:30pm. During that time, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the altar for adoration. Go to him, speak to the Lord: pray, do penance, and invite the Lord to come into our hearts and to give us his healing and strength. In addition, there will be scheduled confessions from 4-5pm on Saturdays and from 2-3pm on Sundays. And during the week, anyone who needs confession can ask for it. As St Charles said to the people of Milan in 1576, during a time of pandemic they need all the more to pray, repent, and do penance.
St Charles then rallied the priests of his diocese, and he led them in going out to visit the sick and administer the Sacraments to the sick. Hence, I ask that anyone who is in need of a priest to visit them at home or in the hospital because of illness should contact me. My details are all on the parish website: rosaryshrine.co.uk
And just as St Charles called for Masses to be said at stations throughout the city so that people could adore the Blessed Sacrament and watch the Mass from their windows, so I have had a web camera and livestreaming system professionally installed in this church so that, even if we can’t come together for Mass and can’t receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist, we can still watch the Mass live, and be united spiritually. Mass will be livestreamed to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/c/RosaryShrineUK at 6pm (Mon – Sat), and at 12 noon and 4pm on Sundays. Please take note of the YouTube address - there are posters on the doors.
I realise that this is hard, and deeply disappointing, and not at all satisfactory, but, again, it is not historically unprecedented. St Charles Borromeo’s people had to do this for almost 2 years. However, during this coming lockdown, what we can do for our own good and for the common good of our nation and our world is to pray, do penance, and continue to write to the authorities. Let us bear the cross that Jesus asks us to take up in today’s Gospel, and let us be confident that the Lord does not leave us alone. For he always carries the Cross alongside us, leading us to Calvary and beyond to eternal life with him. In all circumstances let us remain united in faith, and ask for the grace of fortitude and patience at this time. For as St Paul says: “Do all that has to be done without complaining or arguing and then you will be innocent and genuine, perfect children of God among a deceitful and underhand brood, and you will shine in the world like bright stars because you are offering it the word of life.” (Phil 2:14-15)
Through our example of hope and faith and of love, as Christians in our country, therefore, let us shine. Let us spend this one life that God has given us to give glory to God. As St Charles said: “spend it for Jesus Christ and souls, not as we wish, but at the time and in the way God wishes.”
May St Charles Borromeo pray for us!

So I just wrote this post
I just wanted to tell you that there is a show that I started watching again called The Chosen. So it's about Jesus but it's really well done and it gives a new humanity and perspective to the Gospel while also respecting Scripture.
The first episode is a bit scary though I haven't watched it in a while. (Mary Magdalene is p0ss3ss3d (according to the book of Luke Jesus cast 7 demons out of her))
So the entire project is crowdfunded. Even streaming. They don't have ads in there app that I remember but you can also find it on YouTube because they had a livestream party. This includes stuff from the director and then the episode followed by usually an interview with one of the actors!
Also Matthew is autistic! And he has a DOGGO! And he STIMS! (Not autistic just excited but why wouldn't I be) I rate the portrayal as 2 (3 is max, 0 in not portrayed and harmful is negative numbers) on my portrayal scale because he is portrayed accurately and positively and not harmfully by someone who is allistic (not autistic)
I just watched episode 5 last week which is the wedding in Cana where Jesus turns the water into wine. That was Jesus's first miracle and it was kind of a "can't go back now" thing. At this point Jesus has some of his disciples following him but not all of them yet. That's all stuff directly from the Christian Bible and study of it.
So in the show, they are on their way. Mary Magdalene is with them. Jesus asks Mary Magdalene how she feels about having brothers and she says she always wanted them as a little girl to which Jesus responds "[well[?]] soon you will have twelve." And the boys are like "twelve?"
I love this scene. For one, they are just talking like regular people. 2 Jesus displaying genuine interest for his new family. 3 it sets up (better term? It makes it so there isn't any wiggle room to say they were romantic and stuff) the relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus and the Twelve 4 I CALLED THEM FAMILY. THEY ARE ADORABLE. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FOUND FAMILY TROPE BUT WITH BIBLE CHARACTERS! EEEE! (So I just realized that today and I've been thinking about it. This is why I wanted to make a post because a lot of people like the found family trope and I'm like GUYS LOOK I FOUND SOME)
So they wanted to make the show free to everyone and the director asked somebody at VidAngel why they couldn't do it in every country (they already had in the US) and was told it was due to streaming costs. So now it's free EVERYWHERE and it's because have a pay it forward system where somebody donates money and it pays for a certain amount of people's streams but some of the money also goes to fund the future making of the show. They actually have a thing in their merch store and the donation thing that shows you how far the donations have gotten and what has been funded.
They actually just found the new set. I think it might be in Utah or Colorado but it's this place that's a recreation of Jerusalem and they are going to film season 2 there.
I think they said they want to do 8 seasons?
So far it's really good. Each season is 8 episodes and so I'm going to watch episode 6 soon.
Okay I guess that's enough for now.
I love you!

I have literally re=watched every livestream countless times that the boys have done and my favorite one is the release party. Calum talks to Luke for like 40 minutes and still tells Luke he's going to call him after he finishes the stream. He's such a sweetheart and he makes me so damn soft I just- 😭🥺
I watch them when I need to smile and they never fail. He truly is such a sweetheart and loves his brothers so much and don’t even get me started on cake!!!🥺😫♥️
