#sam: andrew are you dating my mum????
Note
Oh gosh Sam would have an ENTIRE debriefing before him meeting them.
"So what gift do I get your mother? Flowers?"
"Unless you have cultivated them yourself and they don't come with plastic wrapped around them, that's a hard no."
"I could just take them out of the plastic and put them in a nice vase."
"She'll know."
Oh goodness the fixing while they wait for the door to open
*kind of messes with his hair because if its too perfect they'll get suspicious*
"You don't call them 'sir or ma'am'. 'Mr. and Mrs.' Is out of the question...is there any way we can get rid of your blazer? Never mind it's too late. The framed pictures and photo albums on the walls? Yeah, you don't see them. No, you don't see them. If your feeling overwhelmed and they start asking you things like your birth sign, you give me a nudge and I'll say we need to leave early."
AND IF THEY GET THERE SEPARATELY
Sam would still be waiting in her car for him, because she doesn't want to walk in alone. She knows she can train Andrew, but her parents listen for a minute and then it all goes out one ear.
"You're late. Why are late?"
"I didn't want to show up empty handed, so I got a bottle of something that you said your father liked and your mother this lovely box of chocolates."
Sam throws the box of chocolates in the bushes. "She doesn't like single-use plastic. Dad's somewhat okay with it, but she hates it. Just say the liquor is for both of them. She has a higher tolerance than him anyways."
I see Andrew and Sam's mom becoming drinking buddies 👀👀
THIS THIS THIS
Sam would be absolutely b r i c k i n g it all the way to her parents' house, giving Andrew the run through of like
Do:
talk to my dad about Tom Waits, you guys can bond over your weird junkyard man
compliment my mum on her place settings, she does the table up special depending on the guest (I'm guessing she'll get her favourite green ones out for her only child's boyfriend)
be your lovely, adorable, charming self
Do not:
under any circumstances mention that you're a pisces, do not even refer to your birthday whatsoever
ask my dad about his tattoos/photos if you aren't ready for a two hour podcast
ask about young Sam, there is no need for you to hear about stories such as the time I got the worst sunburn of my life from passing out drunk in a field - ah, ah, ah! no further questions!

Too Good At Goodbyes
Tumblr media
Another tour. Another time to say goodbye. Another breakdown. Right?
That’s how it used to be since you and Shawn started dating and he had to leave for promo tours. You began to feel like a fool when you didn’t cry, when he would leave for a small promo run last spring. The few fans who were at the airport, to say good bye to Shawn, had noticed you haven’t cried. Not even one tear in your eyes.
Shawn were saying goodbye to the last fan before he said goodbye to his mother, father and Aaliyah. His mother had learned how to say goodbye to her son, before a big world tour like this one. His father, however, did tear up. Manny was proud of Shawn, for everything he had accomplished. Aaliyah said a couple of jokes along their small conversation, but she ended up saying she loved her brother.
The Mendes family walked outside to the car and waited for you. They knew Shawn would love some alone time with you before he left. “Another goodbye, eh?” you said with a shrug and looked up at your tall boyfriend.
He sighed and gave you a nod. “Gosh I’m gonna miss you,” he said holding your hands in his large ones. “I’ll see you are your final exams, right?”
You gave him a nod in approval. “I’ll join you when you’re in Chicago. That’s when I’m sure I don’t have more exams to do,” you made clear for him.
He nodded his head, making his curls bounce a little. You heard him let out a quiet sob.
“Shawn, why are you crying?”
“Jus’ gonna miss my baby,” he looked at you with puppy eyes.
“C’mere,” you opened your arms to welcome him into a warm hug. When he wrapped his arms around your small body, you could feel how much he was going to miss you. You still had no tears in your eyes. The feeling when your loved one was breaking down in your arms, was not good.
Maybe being too good at goodbyes was a bad thing?
You noticed people began to stare at you two. It was a wired feeling to know that this situation was wired. “Shawn, you gotta go,” you whispered into his ear, softly.
He let you go and let out a deep sigh, trying to compose himself. It was hard for him to let you go for 3 months. But he had to. “Those 3 months will go fast, yeah? We will facetime everyday and talk about each other’s days, okay?” you requested. He gave you a nod in approval.
**
You were at the Mendes house. Karen invited you to stay there the next 3 months, since your school was 20 minutes away from their home. The first night at their house was horrible. Both Manny and Karen said you could stay in Shawn’s childhood room and you gladly took the offer. You tossed and turned in Shawn’s bed. Trying hard to fall asleep without a warm body to protect you.
You checked the time, seeing it was 3:38 AM. You quickly remembering he was 6 hours in front of you, because of time zones.
“Hello?” you heard Shawn’s quite fresh voice say into his phone.
“Hey,” you mumbled tiredly.
“What’s up babe? Sounds tired,”
“Shawn, it’s 3:38 am where I am right now. I haven’t slept yet,” you felt tears forming in your eyes now. Great, now the tears are coming you thought.
“Oh right. I’m sorry babe. You should try to sleep, okay?”
“But I can’t,” you sniffled and sat up on Shawn’s bed.
He went silent.
“Shawn?” you said a little louder than for anticipated.
“You are in my old room, right?” he asked softly.
You let out a small and fragile “yes” to him.
“Go to my dresser. In the top drawer, all the way in the back, I have a small diary formed note book. Take it, go back to bed and read it. I believe there’s a few songs in there I want your approval on them,” he said to you.
You got up, turned on the bedside lamp and went to his dresser, almost tipping over some old shoes he had. “Gosh Shawn. I thought your mum had cleaned your room,” you groaned.
“She should have though,”
“But she hasn’t. Gonna ask her to do it later,” you grabbed the diary and walked back to his bed slowly. “I miss you so much, Shawn. I’m sorry I was awkward at the airport. I froze. My feelings froze. I’m sorry,” you apologized, sniffling again
“It’s okay baby. I did notice it, but I choose to ignore it ‘cause I know you will miss me,” he sighed to himself.
“When we say goodbye in public, my mind just freezes. I just can’t think straight in those situations,” you confessed.
“Read page 4, line 5. Please read it out loud,” he changed the subject.
You took a deep breath and began to read. “Finding a soulmate is hard. Maybe harder that you’ve heard. But when you finally find that person, it’s like finding your other half,” you finished. “What’s the melody to this?”
“Something like Why. Slow, calm yet so powerful. It’s a song about us,” he said shyly.
You smiled at his words, fully imagining him smiling cutely as he played with his feather ring.
“I think you should go to bed. It’s already 4:15 where you are. I’ll talk later, yeah?” he softly requested.
“Yeah. I’ll try at least,” you nodded to approve it to yourself.
**
A few days had passed, and you missed Shawn more and more. Normally you were a straight A student in college but since Shawn left for tour, your grades have been dropping. Your friends had noticed your lack of attention, lack of sleep and lack of motivation.
“Y/n are you okay?” your best friend Emma asked you during a math class.
“Hm?” you hummed confusingly at her. Didn’t hear her question.
“I asked if you were okay? You’ve been down since Shawn left for tour,” Emma continued.
“Wanna know the real truth?” you looked at her.
“I fucking miss Shawn. I can’t function without him by my side,” you let out a frustrated sigh and putting down your pencil. “It’s like we are an equation. We have to solve both sides of it and, as of right now, I just can’t figure it out,” you continued.
“Miss y/n, do you have something to share with the rest of the class?” the math professor asked you through the class.
“Uhm no,” you shook your head and went back to your tasks.
“Maybe I’m just too good at goodbyes,” you mumbled to yourself.
“You’ve said goodbye so many times to him. You’re getting professional at it,” Emma whispered back to you.
You nodded. “What time is it?”
“11:22. Soon lunch time,” Emma looked at you quick and soot you a smile of reassurance.
**
After school you drove back to Karen and Manny. When you opened the door, you heard Karen talk to a person in her phone. “You sure you’ll be okay?” she asked the person.
You bend down to open the shoelace of your converse’s and took them off. “Listen you can’t just fly home. You are on tour, in Europe right now so you can’t just decide to push some shows a week so you can come home,” she said in her British accent she had grown up with. “Is it Shawn you’re talking to?” you asked quietly but loud enough for her to hear. She gave you a nod, “Shawn, y/n is here,” she then gave you the phone.
“Shawn?” you asked when you had taken the phone and put it up against your ear.
“I wanna go home and see you,” he confessed. “I miss you too much,” you sighed at him.
“You know how mad Andrew will get if he finds out you wanna push the whole tour at least one week,”
“But,”
“No buts Shawn. You’ll be back in May for a break and I’ll join you in late June. And I know facetimeing aren’t as great at physical contact but it’s all we can do for now,” you sat down on the sofa.
“I know. Can I get my mum back?”
“Yeah. One second,” you put the phone down and got up to go to Karen. “Karen? Shawn wants you back,” you gave her the phone.
You went to Shawn’s room taking off your denim jacket you had gotten from Shawn a few days prior to him leaving. Doing homework was boring without him. Sitting between he long legs while he, often would watch Grey’s Anatomy, as you did the homework. It just made you concentrate more, knowing fully he would watch Grey’s but would read along what you wrote.
You decided to connect your phone to Shawn’s Bluetooth speakers and selecting some calm music. First song to come on was When You Love Someone by James TW. A special song to you and Shawn. It was the song you and Shawn shared your first kiss with.
You finished your home work in the matter of under an hour, as the music still played. One of Shawn’s songs came on. It was Nervous. A song he wrote about when you two first met. The thought of the meaning behind it made you tear up.
You turned off the music and called Shawn over facetime right away. When he didn’t pick up you checked the time. 3:58 PM.
“Fuck,” you mumbled to yourself, “Forgot you had a show now,”
You texted him instead, telling him to call as soon as possible.
**
“Hi,” you said shortly to Shawn, who were in the other end.
“Why did you want me to all asap? What’s wrong?”
“I thought ‘bout something. Remember like a week ago we talked during the night? And I confessed why I didn’t cry?” your index and thump now rubbing your forehead.
Shawn hummed a soft yes in the other end.
“I figured out that I might be too good at goodbyes. I know it sounds wired but I’m so used to saying it,” you felt some weight finally coming off your small shoulders.
“Too good at goodbyes? Wasn’t it that song, Sam Smith wrote?” he thought out loud making you giggle a little.
“Yes Shawn. Yes, he did,” you now laughed at him. “here I am, trying to be serious about one thing, and then you come and ruin the mood,”
“You know I’m good at ruining the mood. Too good at it,” he giggled along with you.
You sat there for about a minute or two of dead silence when a knock on the door came. It was Aaliyah.
“Y/n, dinner is ready,” she gave you a soft smile.
“Wanna say hi to your brother?” you requested her.
“Nah,” she shook her head. “I’m starving here so he’ll just have to wait,”
You couldn’t help but giggle at her words. So much love for her brother you thought to yourself. “Gotta go now. Bye Shawn,” you said as you got up from his bed.
“See you soon,”
“Love you,”
“Love you too,” he said back and hung up.

For the film asks, all of them? (2010/Chris Evans/Brie Larson/Edgar Wright for the *insert here* questions)
ahh!!! thank you so much for asking anon! this will take a while so i will probs stick most of it under a cut :)
a movie you’ve seen most times in cinema.
i answered this one here!
your most rewatched movie.
that’d be between toy story, the lord of the rings trilogy, moulin rouge, to all the boys i’ve loved before and this weird animated film called tubby the tuba. my grandma owned it on vhs and i spent basically every school holiday at her house so i watched it more times than i can think of!
a movie you quote on a daily basis.
i quote dumb youtube videos more than films on a regular basis, but i do quote a lot of lord of the rings lines like “it comes in pints?!” or anything else that comes out of one of the hobbits mouths.
favorite movie soundtrack
probably moulin rouge? that or the first guardians of the galaxy. they’re the only two that i still own on CD..
top 5 films of your favorite actor and actress
okay so my initial thought for favourite actor is actually tom hanks, so in that case.
forrest gump
philadelphia
toy story
 the green mile
larry crowne (not the most amazing film in the world but it’s so endearing to me!)
and for actress i would probably say toni colette? her or blake lively, but i don’t have a top five for either of them. for toni it’d be;
about a boy
muriel’s wedding
miss you already
and for blake it’d be;
a simple favor
the age of adeline
elvis and annabelle
top 5 performances of your favorite actor and actress.
see above, they’re one and the same to me.
a movie storyline you wish you had actually lived.
about time. might be biased since i’m watching it now, but it’d be nice to do things over if i could.
a movie that reminds you of your mum.
local hero. i’ve watched it with her many times and it’s one of her favourites.
a movie that reminds you of your dad.
any of the harry potter films. we went to all of them at the cinema together.
favorite movies from your childhood.
it’s gonna be toy story again. this will likely be a running theme, i fucking love this movie.
favourite quote(s).
too many to count from the lord of the rings. sam’s monologue at the end of the two towers, gandalf speaking to pippin in return of the king. also sam saying “i can’t carry it for you, but i can carry you!”. this is really just a love letter to sam now, isn’t it….
top 5 favorite female performances.
i would have to come back to this, i can’t brain right now.
top 5 favorite male performances.
see above.
favourite year for movies.
after googling, it looks like 1993 was a bloody good year.
your favorite movies from [insert year].
2010 is the year you mentioned and from looking on google, my faves are toy story 3, how to train your dragon, black swan, scott pilgrim vs the world, easy a, megamind, tangled, AHH DAYDREAM NATION CAME 2010!! MY FAVE!! man, 2010 was a good one :D
favorite [insert actor/actress/director] movies?
so you said chris evans, brie larson and edgar wright. so faves in order would be:
short term 12
captain america: the winter soldier
hot fuzz or the world’s end (can’t pick between the two soz)
list all you’ve seen from [insert actor/actress/director].
so many, my dude. so many.
an underrated actor.
brain is fried. i’m sure there’s some but i’m blanking hard.
an underrated actress.
see above.
an underrated director.
see above.
an overrated actor.
johnny fucking depp.
an overrated actress.
scarlett johansson soz lol
an overrated director.
QUENTIN FUCKING TARANTINO
a film you wish you had seen on the big screen.
like any of my favourite 80s movies or the original psycho. also the lord of the rings, for some reason my folks didn’t take me to those.
a movie you’ve seen that you think no one else’s here will have heard of?
i am yet to encounter someone who knows the previously mentioned tubby the tuba.
favorite movie characters.
steve rogers, rapunzel from tangled, leia skywalker, lara-jean song-covey
a film that was better than the book.
i love to all the boys i loved before, but the film captured me in a way that the book didn’t as much.
best remake.
i’d watch tom holland or andrew garfield over tobey maguire for spiderman any day fight me.
your first favorite actor.
probably orlando bloom? back when i was a wee bab, i watched anything of his that i could find at the video rental.
your first favorite actress.
hilary duff probably. child me watched all of lizzie mcguire and any movies of hers.
favorite animated film.
if you’ve read this far and can’t figure it out, i don’t know what to say. it’s toy story, obviously.
your most anticipated films.
endgame and basically any other superhero movie coming out, toy story 4, the sequel for to all the boys i’ve loved before, the richard curtis movie called yesterday that is coming out in june (???) i think, STAR WARS.
last movie that disappointed you.
sierra burgess is a loser. fuck, no one else wanted that movie to be good as much as i did.
last movie that surpassed your expectations
nothing will ever match how blown away i was by pacific rim when i saw it. i went with my cousin knowing literally NOTHING about it. also i guess 2017′s it. i’m not big on seeing horror at the cinema and i didn’t expect to find it as funny as i did because the kids in it were so great.
actor in need of new agent.
idk bruh, i can’t think of anything right now for this.
actress in need of new agent.
see above.
share an unpopular film opinion you have.
idk how unpopular this is because i’m pretty sure thanks to #metoo most people want these kind of people want out of hollywood, but i despise woody allen and roman polanski films. the fact that i had to study them while getting my degree is despicable, and the argument that they’ve done a lot for the film industry is trash. don’t make their work important, studying it so thoroughly gives it power and i want to never have to speak about their trash again.
favorite Oscar win/speech.
who couldn’t say olivia colman’s from this years oscars. that warmed my cold dead heart and i cried for her.
biggest Oscar snub(s).
arrival should have won/been nominated for more than it did.
who do you think is overdue for another nomination/win?
amy adams!!! she was so fucking amazing in arrival, i wanted her to win all of the things.
how many movies have you seen (rough estimation)?
must be hundreds (not that these answers are any indication since i’ve talked about approx four films) since i own hundreds of DVDs, i go to the cinema regularly, i am constantly watching stuff on netflix and any other streaming services.
a movie that made you go ‘wtf was that’.
un chien andalou, requiem for a dream and mothlight. the first two because they’re fucking disturbing, the last one because its just close ups of parts of moths and i had to watch it for a film paper. it’s a no from me.
a film that scarred you.
the mummy. the beetle under the skin gave me nightmares and i haven’t been able to watch it since.
most movies watched in a single day.
i havent’t taken notes, but i did watch all of the mcu movies with cap in them recently in a day?
a film that always makes you cry.
coco. i’ve yet to make it through without having a full on mental breakdown for the last third of that movie. also marley and me because doggos. and the last part of mamma mia: here we go again. and philadelphia. the take away from this answer is that i cry a lot in movies.
a film that always makes you laugh.
hot fuzz. in my first flat we watched it nearly everyday for like two weeks when we all moved in and watching it makes me think of how much we all laughed and quoted it to one another.
movies that you think everyone should watch (not necessarily your favorites).
get out, psycho, star wars, at least one classic film noir, arrival, the cornetto trilogy, back to the future. there’s more but i think this is a good starter for what i at least find to be important viewing.
a movie that took you a couple of viewings to appreciate.
honestly probably the lord of the rings. they didn’t really click with me until high school, and then they really really clicked. also fight club i guess; the second time around watching it, i got the toxic masculinity themes more. it sucks that men read that movie as the exact opposite.
a book you want to see adapted to the big screen.
i believe i already answered this here!
a book you really, really, really don’t want to see made into a film.
does jk rowling’s twitter count? i want to see nothing more from the harry potter universe that she has had anything to do with.
favorite child performance.
the kids in the goonies and it 2017 come to mind. let kids act like kids!!!
favorite pre-code.
mate, you are making the assumption that i remember enough of the old films i studied in my degree, and that i remember the pre-code dates. i’m sure i have one, but that is buried far too deep in my brain to actually remember.
Favorite silent film.
i really enjoyed the buster keaton stuff we watched when i did my history of film paper.
favorite coming of age film.
boyhood, love simon, the edge of seventeen, my girl (i’ll be honest, i just googled coming of age movies and picked my faves from the top results. doesn’t mean i don’t stand by these!!)
favorite superhero film.
captain america: the winter soldier, spiderman: into the spiderverse, black panther and the dark knight rises.
best cinematography.
i still really like her and wes anderson for their cinematography.
movies you know you should watch, but can’t bring yourself to do it?
so fucking many, my dude. the amount of movies i wrote essays about when i had watched maybe three scenes and read the synopsis is insane. after getting a degree in it, and with how burned out i got, i found it very hard to give a shit about classics that lecturers told me were important. the big one is the godfather; it’ll be a cold day in hell when i finally watch that one.
favorite genres.
i’m a sucker for anything romantic. also film noir, superheroes, animated, female-led, stuff set in the 80s, lgbt film (that isn’t gross and exploitative), comedy horrors. idk man, it’s hard to describe.
least favorite genres.
dull as fuck period pieces that say approximately nothing new and hash out the same old tired shit about treatment of poc and/or women. comedies in the same vein of austin powers, napoleon dynamite and sasha baron cohen stuff. white feminist narratives. anything that is shitty about fat women. 
biggest movie pet peeve.
dark for no fucking reason!!! let films be bright and happy!!! ya girl hates having to strain her eyes to see what the heck is going on.

A: Who are their exes? Do they still keep in touch? N: Are they clumsy and/or prone to accidents? D: What time does their day usual start? R: When’s the last time they had a birthday party? E: Are they the happiest they’ve ever been? W: Would they be starstruck if they met a celebrity?
I’m gonna warn you this is gonna be long, since I asume this is for all muses (I will exclude the well selective ones) Also read more:
Who are their exes? Do they still keep in touch?
Irius: I don’t really have exes? I mean my job is busy enough and before that I was busy being away from my father. I was never one for dating.
Karnesh: I can’t remember, most of them are dead anyway. I don’t date krogan (well there are some excaptions but I don’t have contact with them). And ancestors forbid asari. So no I don’t have any contact with them.
Clavius: Probably all of them are dead or somewhere else. I don’t care that much. I just want my own life and that is enough. Well you could call a turian named Camilea Octatus my ex, but she is also the mother of my children, so yes we are in contact.
Renius: My wife and no we don’t have any contact she is dead.
Torana: Well I work with my ex but we don’t have that much contact, just friendly and civilized talks nothing more.

Haral: Well I had someone, she is the mother of my daughter Silia and well someone else. But the last one wasn’t really a relationship. We respected each other, but the first one Quitillia, she was before Lisell someone I wanted to settle down with. Too bad she had a crazy husband.
Oswin: Ehm you could say Liara is my ex, but yes we still have contact and I do trust her, I just ehm well…I don’t see as more than a friend anymore.

Maron: Do I look like I have time for dating? I am busy and no I am bonded to Karnesh that is different than dating.
Shaela: I well I never dated anyone before. I am just i will find someone.
Lorik: I don’t date, I have other things on my mind, but I do have exes, which is funny since i never dated them to begin with.
Marius: I was married for a long time, but now well, I don’t know what happend to her, so I more like divorced and married again.
Andrew: Ehm not really, never dated before Andromeda or at least not that i remember.
Tayus: Couple of them, not sure if any of them are alive or in the mood to talk to me, so I better stay away.

Renius: Too busy for that.
Torana: Last year.
Madadh: Too old for that bullshit. But Nyx buys me presents.
Cagar: No time for that.

Karnesh: If they owe the Shadow Broker money they will be more than just famous.
Clavius: No.

Torana: Not really.
Madadh: I am far too old for that kind of behaviour.
Cagar: If they are a cute girl, why not.
Haral: Nah fam.
Oswin: Hell I am a legend myself, why should i be starstruck
Noah: No way in hell.
Shaela: Maybe a little bit.
Maron: I doubt they can hold any meaningful conversation with me.
Lorik: Wel maybe.
Marius: Not really.
Andrew: I think so yeah.
Tayus: If they owe me money they will be famously dead.
Tachyus: I don’t know actually.
SAM: I cannot say right now.

It’s December. Yknow what that means! Let’s reflect on the year. When I made  a post like this last year, it was a hopeful thing. I was excited about the coming year, because I was excited that I’d finally met some people I could hang out with. I love Alea and Brooke to the moon and back, but only having two friends for most of my life is not the best. As much as I denied it for years, my mum’s right. I’m very social. I have social anxiety. But I am a very social person. So, if you wanna read about all that, it’s under a read more. Cause fucking hell did this get long.
So, this year started and I was single, I was in Unity, I was in school, and I was living with my parents. By May I was not single and I was not in Unity. Shortly after that- because end of the semester and stuff and things happening- I was no longer in school or living with my parents. At this point in the year, I’m still not single, nor in Unity (as I doubt I’ll ever go back. To the troupe at least, I absolutely wanna go back to taking classes), or in school. But I have plans to go back to school. I’m halfway to being able to afford a car, and then saving for an apartment, so Sammy and I can go to Cleveland. Because I wanna be close to my friends. I don’t like most of the people I live with presently, and neither does Sam. So we’re gonna move out in July when the lease is up on our place. 
When I made this post last year, I talked about the only table top rpgs I’d played was a D&D 5e oneshot, a game of Roll for Shoes, and was just then stepping into a campaign. Needless to say, that changed. A lot. I’ve played West Marches to it’s end. I’ve been in Alex’s Pathfinder campaign for a year. I spent a semester in Andrew’s Pathfinder campaign (and met my girlfriend through that). I’ve spent two semesters in Jacob’s 5e campaign. I’ve started a campaign of my own at Breakout to get those people into D&D. I’ve gone so far with this, and I love it. I love every second of it. I also mentioned that I’d kinda started in Magic, but hadn’t put any money towards it. That didn’t last either. I’ve built my own custom deck, and that def required spending money. Once Andrew got me a starter deck it was downhill from there. I don’t play a ton, but Magic def did get my interest.
Last year I kinda just made lil shoutouts to Scott, Trevi, and Andrew. But this year I have so many more people to talk about, and to be thankful for. Because they’re not just new people that I’m kinda sorta friends with. They’re my family. So lemme go through this. Lemme take a bit, to talk about this gaggle of people I’ve found, that I love. 
It’s primarily the Pathfinder group. The original Pathfinder group. Alex, Jacob, Andrew, Thomas, Susannah, Molly, and Will. Most of these people are also the people in West Marches, but there are some West Marches people that aren’t in Pathfinder. People like Joey and Adriana, Freddie, Michael, and of course, Trevi and Scott. Now, to go into detail about the specific people, and why I love them.
Alex is just, great. I don’t always feel like I’m super close with him, but he does pay attention to everyone in the group. We recently had a session that really hit that fact home. It was a Christmas session, because it’s December what else are we gonna do? Each of our characters had gifts, and these gifts meant something to each of us. Outside of games though, he’s just as attentive. He’s always supportive, and very understanding of when people need distance or aid. He’s encouraging, and frankly I’m not sure I’ve ever heard him say something bad against anyone. Ambiguous maybe, but never bad.
Jacob- fucking hell this guy. He’s literally the sweetest man I’ve ever met. He’s always trying to help, and encourage people. If he knows he’s done something wrong he apologizes and does whatever it takes to fix it. He knows I’m short on money, so whenever I’m around he’s always offering to buy me food- or just straight up give me his food. He even bought Sammy’s Christmas present for me, because I’m just too broke to do it. I don’t understand how someone can be that selfless?? Jacob wtf?? You’re too good??
Andrew. What an asshole. I love him though. He- quite frankly- is half the reason I’m so close with the Pathfinder group. I befriended him easier than I befriended the others. He’s the one that got me into Pathfinder. At first he seems quiet, and kinda apathetic, he’s incredibly forgetful. But he cares. I got scared one time that I’d fucked up a friendship, and in his awkward Andrew way, he gave me 3 Magic cards and a hug as comfort. It may not sound like much, but giving away Magic cards is a big deal for Andrew. This nerd is also the reason I met my girlfriend, so yknow.
Admittedly, I’m not as close with Thomas as I am some of the others. His personality clashes with mine, so I don’t typically talk to him one on one. But he’s part of the group. We all poke fun at him, but we all poke fun at everyone. This family of ours wouldn’t be the same without him. It’d be too quiet.
Susannah is a darling. I haven’t seen her as much recently, because she dropped out of the Pathfinder campaign, and I haven’t been at school. But we still talk from time to time here on tumblr, or the very rare occasion we see each other on campus we always stop to give each other a hug and say hello. Because our friend group had a hellish spaghetti mess of relationships, and we had a good relationship through that. The guy I liked liked her, and it was kinda rough, but we just helped each other. Then when that spaghetti mess was over, and I was getting with Sammy, she was one of the people I’d text like “Holy shit Sam is so cute HELP”
Molly is the best. She- like Susannah- isn’t in Pathfinder this semester, so I haven’t seen her as much. But she had a similar position in the spaghetti mess but without being so tied to me. She just was right next to Susannah and was super supportive as well. She was the other person I texted about Sam. Cause group chats. I’d text her and Susannah together. But even though we don’t see each other a ton, we’re still close. Hell we’re looking at getting an apartment together next summer.
I really never think I’m that close to Will. He’s very quiet, and he’s not very affectionate, so it’s sometimes hard to tell if he actually likes being around people or he’s just dealing with us. But, after a year of being around him, I’m pretty sure he does actually like us. I think he’s just introverted. He doesn’t want to get in people’s way, so he sits to the side and is quiet. But also, his character in Pathfinder was 110% tryna get another PC laid and Will and Susannah both were willing to let me in on that. So, yeah, pretty sure Will is cool with me. We just have different ways of showing that.
Joey and Adriana I’ll talk about together, because I swear these two are inseparable. When I first met them I thought they were dating, but no they’re just very affectionate- and I can’t blame them for that. I’m the same way with Scott and Trevi. I’ve still not gotten to talk to them a ton, but the conversations I’ve had with them have been good. They seem very light hearted on the surface, just comparing ourselves to our characters, but really that says a lot about us. 
Freddie and Michael, I’ll also put together. Not because they’re together all the time, but because I have less to say about them. I don’t know either as well, but they’re both very warm people. It’s easy to become friends with these two. Freddie loves to rub my hair, cause of course half of it is shaved. Michael’s just akin to a ray of sunshine tbh. 
Trevi. Where do I even start? To just say you’re my friend isn’t enough. You’re more than that. You’re fun to be around and talk to, and dance with. You’re relatable and silly and serious and helpful and supportive. You’ve given me a place to sleep when I was too tired to go home. When you graduated I was terrified of you leaving, either going back home or going out to Cali to get a doctorate, cause I knew you’d talked about it. I didn’t wanna lose you. I’d just gotten to know you. Then you stayed here, and I’m glad. Cause you’re my friend and I love you. A couple weeks ago as you were leaving you signed “I love you”. You had your back turned but there was a window in front of you, so idk if you saw, but I signed it back. Cause I really do.
Now Scott. You sir, have literally changed my life. I would not have met most of the people I’ve talked about. I’d have met Trevi, but without D&D as a common ground, idk that we’d have ended up so close. So thank you, for introducing me to D&D. Thank you for being my DM. Because honestly, no matter how many DMs I have, no matter how great they are. You will always be my DM, because you were the first. And now, you’re graduating. You’re leaving school, and you’re going to Columbia. I’m gonna miss you. As selfish as it is, I don’t want you to leave. I’m glad you’re going to keep moving forward, as we all should. But fucking hell will I miss you. You’ve led me on adventures, fighting monsters and demons, I’ve made pacts with Eldritch gods and become War itself. So you go. You go, live your adventures. Write your stories and play your parts. Keep Moving Forward. But you better get your ass back here and visit from time to time okay? Cause I’m gonna miss you. I’m gonna miss your free hugs, and the meowing, and the hair ruffles, and hugs so tight I feel like you’re bout to crack a rib, and the games, and the stories, and just everything. I’m gonna miss you, and I love you.
This past year, and every one of the people I’ve mentioned have changed me. There’s more people I could talk about. Alea, and Brooke, and Tommy, and Sammy, and Tahli, and Sebastian, and Kenna. My actual family. My cousin and my best friend, who I don’t feel the need to write about, because duh I appreciate them. Duh I love them. Tommy and Sammy who’ve both had their own impacts. Who have both changed my life in their own ways. Then Tahli, Kenna, and Sebastian. My nieces and nephew. Tahli, who wormed her way into my heart in an instant, and got me to a place where I actually cared for the other two. Because for so long I shrugged at Kenna. She lives across the country she’s not gonna know me. But then when Sebastian came along, I was so used to Tahli and her reaction any time I walk in the door. Then Sebastian got hurt, and it wrecked me. Because no, he’s tiny, he’s fragile, this shouldn’t happen to a six month old baby. I was so scared to hold him at Thanksgiving because I didn’t want to hurt him. 
I just. I love my friends. I love that I can say that. Because two years ago I hardly had friends to love, and I certainly didn’t feel like they should love me back. Last year I had a few more friends, and I was feeling a bit better about myself. But this year I’ve realized. It’s not just that I have friends that I love. But that they love me just as much. During intermediate acting Abby called me a yankee candle, cause I apparently had a warm, homey, aura. I felt like that was weird, cause I’m so used to being Shadow. I’m used to being ignore, glanced over. But then suddenly, I have friends that won’t do that. Friends that pay attention and love me. I’m still not sure how to handle that, but I’m doing the best I can.

Olly Alexander on harnessing the power of sexual fantasy in pop
The Years & Years frontman talks about owning his queer sexuality in the mainstream and writing a twisted disco album about ‘holy wood’
Owen Myers
9 March 2018
“It’s like my Rihanna Loud era,” declares Olly Alexander, before breaking into a laugh. The Years & Yearsfrontman is referring to his cropped curly hair, which is freshly coloured to the hue of a nice Merlot. It’s a cold February evening, and he’s puffing on a roll-up while huddled in the fire exit doorway of a Camden venue. His new dye job has to be kept under wraps, he explains, until its official unveiling in the band’s new video. “It’s so stupid,” Olly says with an eye roll. He then flashes me a grin, suggesting that this moment of starry subterfuge is not entirely unwelcome.
Olly Alexander really likes being a pop star. He says that it’s full of “fairytale” moments, like when his Years & Years earnings enabled him to buy his mum a house, or when he and his ex-boyfriend, Neil Milan (formerly of Clean Bandit), became embraced as British pop’s new golden couple. After winning the BBC Sound poll in 2015, Years & Years’ earworm synth pop was everywhere. They had an inescapable number one single, “King”, and their album Communion was the fastest selling debut that year from a signed British band. Olly says that there are downsides to the tabloid headlines and Twitter trolls that come along with being “a public gay man” – a phrase that he puts in self-deprecating air quotes. But right now, those pressures feel far away, as he prepares to change into a bright pink boiler suit and play to a boozed-up Saturday night crowd, at an Annie Mac-curated showcase. Or, as he put it on Twitter earlier today: bring his “gay agenda” to The Roundhouse.
Years & Years’ great new single, “Sanctify”, contrasts lurking vocals with an ecstatic synth-fuelled chorus, and is as unapologetic as any of Olly’s pithy social media posts. He was newly single when he wrote the song, and reading Andrew Holleran’s 1978 chronologue of gay desire, Dancer From the Dance, had got him thinking about a couple of hookups he’d had with straight-identifying men. “It would always be under darkness,” he says. “It had this added layer of eroticism because it was somewhat forbidden. But (being with me) was a window where they could be themselves, and I felt responsible not to fuck them up.” Those conflicting feelings come through in evocative lyrics about obscuring masks and sinful confessions, with a climax that’s about as on-the-nose as chart pop gets. “I sanctify my sins when I pray,” says Olly, quoting the chorus’s payoff. “What do you do what you pray? You get on your knees. So is it a sexual baptism?” He laughs. “I was just like, ‘There’s a lot to work with here.’”
Years & Years are a three-piece, but the other two members, Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Türkmen, tend to hunker down behind synths and let Olly take centre stage. His soul-searching lyrics give the band’s maximalist pop its heart, with a singing voice that pierces through a constellation of synths. Their videos bring acts which are often shrouded in darkness into the light, showing the singer cruising in a dank car park, or at a pansexual orgy. The new “Sanctify” visual riffs on dom/sub culture, with an elaborate sci-fi plot that is a device for Olly to perform “Slave 4 U”-inspired dance moves to an audience of androids. When he was commissioned to write a song for the Bridget Jones franchise, he made it about bottoming. “I have sex, I enjoy sex,” he says flatly. He’s sitting in his cosy dressing room the Roundhouse, which rumbles with bass as Disclosure and Mabel soundcheck next door. “In the past, I think gay men (in pop) have often shied away from being overtly sexual, or being commanding of their sexuality. But I believe that our sexual fantasies are a big drive for us all. Exploring that side of yourself is super empowering.”
In the past year or so, many well-known LGBTQ artists have begun to bring queerness into their music in sex-positive ways. Pop’s boy-next-door Troye Sivan strapped on Tom Of Finland leathers for a back alley moment with well-fluffed trade, Janelle Monáe caressed women’s bare thighs, Fever Ray returned with a concept album about queer kink. For better or worse, Sam Smith is now calling himself a “dick monster”on primetime telly. “Sometimes seeing a man express themselves in an overtly sexual way, especially a gay man, makes certain conservative people feel a bit uncomfortable,” Olly says. “I always wanna keep people a little uncomfortable.”
“I believe that our sexual fantasies are a big drive for us all. Exploring that side of yourself is super empowering” – Olly Alexander
Years & Years are far from the first mainstream British pop act to proudly put gay sexuality at the centre of their music – that’s a lineage that runs from Will Young to George Michael, Pet Shop Boys to Bronski Beat, and beyond. But Olly’s performances are a reminder that mainstream pop can be open to explicit queerness (at least, when it’s embodied in a handsome white cis man). Olly has faith that you don’t have to be “generic to be palatable,” and that “straight guys can hear a song that I’ve written about being fucked by another guy, but still relate.” LGBTQ+ people like me grew up seeing straight culture pretty much everywhere; seeing more of our community thrive is crucial.
Growing up in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, Olly was a flamboyant kid. That got him bullied at school, called a “batty boy” before he was even aware that he was gay, and meant that he retreated into drama lessons. While acting, he felt it was okay – a good thing, even – to be expressive. He always nurtured a passion for music, too; he taught himself how to play Joni Mitchell songs on piano, and obsessed over “Dirrty”-era Christina Aguilera. An early performance at a year six assembly blended intimate songwriting and outré entertainment: Olly played piano and sang lyrics about lost love, while two of his friends did a dance routine.
In his late teens and early 20s, Olly cropped up in whimsical micro-budget indie films like 2011’s The Dish And The Spoon, alongside Greta Gerwig, as well as Gaspar Noé’s Enter The Void, and Skins. But his early experiences at school stayed with him. “Your first encounter with your sexuality is often from people bullying you and calling you the thing that you just pray to god that you won’t be – but deep down suspect you might be,” Olly says. “Well, no wonder we have an incredibly conflicting relationship with our bodies and our sexualities, because we’ve had to experience all of that.”
Reflecting on these difficult early years in his dressing room, Olly speaks openly about his own decade-long experience with depression, and the inadequate NHS provisions for those who are struggling with mental health. LGBTQ+ folks disproportionately struggle with depression and substance abuse, he recognises, and there’s only one UK organisation, London Friend, that caters directly to the specific needs of the queer community. “I’ve been there,” says Olly. “They’re amazing, but they are over-subscribed, with a tiny office, old chairs, and not a lot of money. When you’re seeing that people aren’t getting the help they should be, there’s an issue there.” That’s something he knows from first-hand experience. Last year, Olly fronted a BBC documentary, Growing Up Gay, about young LGBTQ+ people struggling with their mental health. His openness around the subject made him a kind of ambassador for those struggles, and he’s trying to work out how to deal with the “almost daily” DMs he gets from people at their lowest moments. “I feel very privileged that someone is wanting to share that with me, but it’s frightening,” he says. “We’re all in fucking pain, and I don’t know if we’re communicating with each other that well.”
“What do we expect a male pop star to do? As a society, how do we want them to behave or present themselves?” – Olly Alexander
Years & Years’ second album, out later this year, mixes gliding pop melodies with churning bass and twisted disco. The new songs feel more varied and exploratory than Communion, thanks in part to new collaborators like current pop’s minimalist masterminds Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, as well as Greg Kurstin, who co-wrote “Shine”, Years & Years’ best song to date. The album’s centred around a motif of Palo Santo, a healing incense-like wood that you burn and waft around a room. (Olly dramatises this with hand motions as if he’s conducting an invisible orchestra.) Perhaps Palo Santo, with its power to expel evil spirits, could be a metaphor for the songwriting process? Maybe, Olly says. “But (when writing the album) I was angry about loads of things, particularly men. Palo Santo literally means ‘holy wood’ and I was like, ‘This is fucking perfect.’ Like, thinking that your dick is holy? I’ve known guys like that.”
Years & Years’ renewed vision also extends to creating a futuristic universe for their new music to exist in. That’s an idea that Olly’s idols – “Bowie, Prince, and Gaga” – have embraced, and “Sanctify” is the first part of an interconnected series of “weird, wonderful” videos. It marks the next step for a band aiming to join British pop’s pantheon, at a time when Olly, too, has been reflecting on his place in music. “What do we expect a male pop star to do?” he questions. “As a society, how do we want them to behave or present themselves? If I was asking myself, it would be like, ‘Well actually, I’ve always loved this kind of popstar. Maybe I should just be the pop star I want to see in the world.”

How both universes would handle it:
Andrew: *calls Sam over to listen to him playing a couple of chords*
Sam: *in full Regina George mom mode*
{Other universe}
Andrew: *starts playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the piano very loudly*
Sam: "STAY IN ACADEMIA!"
I'll let you guess which is which
the fact that both of these situations are interchangeable no matter the universe 😭😭😭
but i can totally see sam going full camcorder mum mode when andrew is just sat there being like "anyways here's wonderwall"
there will 100% be a insta story where she secretly recorded andrew while he is practicing and then the caption is something like "wasnt aware that im dating a musical genius!!!!"
the flip side is my favourite tho lmaooo andrew literally just sat there tuning the guitar and sams like "bro, dont quit your day job"
