#that was kinda not that great. but otherwise!! the band was Great even tho they were more ska than punk
shout out to the people at the concert that saw my small and easy-to-knock-over ass at the (edge of the) mosh pit and kinda watched out for me by shoving away the two or three people that danced ruthlessly away from me before they could knock me over they are literally the best

possibly strange question incoming: if you had to make a sandwich out of songs by your favorite artist, what songs would be which ingredient?
there must be bread, meat, cheese, and a condiment but you can add as many other toppings/condiments as you so choose.
THIS IS THE GREATEST QUESTION I COULD EVER RECEIVE.
Okay so off the bat, my favorite artist is a band called The Maine (I know my blog would suggest otherwise but there is just significantly less content of theirs in here. They are forever and always number one.)
I also know this isn’t the question but the best sandwich I ever had was a ciabatta roll with mozzarella and pesto, and all that would have made it better would have been a little turkey and some bacon. Delicious. So I will be recreating this in songs.
Ciabatta bread: the secret to good bread is crust-to-soft ratio. You don’t want it to stab your mouth, but it needs to have some structure to it to support your sandwich. So the first song that comes to mind for this is Slip The Noose. She is a little crunchy with that fast verse, but so very soft with that refrain that soars. Substantial enough to support that entire record. It’s even one of those that repeats at the beginning and end - it’s literally perfect sandwich bread. “I was on the verge of breaking down til you came around.”
Turkey: now we are talking good deli turkey, not thanksgiving level stuff. Nice and smooth and salty and delicious. That you can pile high. Gotta be something off Pioneer, that’s definitely the smoothest record. With a little bit of fire to it, as it’s absolutely a Fuck You To The Man record. I’ll go with Identify for that one. Great opening track, goes down easy, sets the stage for everything else. “3 2 1, here come the fireworks baby”
Bacon: what is not to love about our favorite supplemental meat. Everyone’s favorite. In that case I think I have to go with the crowd favorite song then. Which would be Black Butterflies and Deja Vu. If they’re not closing with Mars, they’re closing with this. You can’t help but love it. “I lose my voice when I look at you”
Mozzarella: I have a guilty announcement. I am not a big cheese person. The only exception. Is mozzarella. I could eat that shit forever. And it’s on everything. It goes GOOD on everything. It’s like the potato of cheeses. Fry it pizza it stick it on a Sammy. So we’re going for versatility. Play it for any kind of music fan and they’ll go “okay! Nice!” Which has GOT to be Dirty Pretty Beautiful. She’s funky (as good cheeses are) she’s fresh, and you gotta dance to her. “We got this thing that’s untouchable”
Pesto: on principle alone, the condiment is going to be Sticky. Because how could it not be (even tho pesto is not particularly a sticky condiment, as far as things go). But also, she is a bright song, makes you wanna stand in the sunlight and go “YES!” Which is kinda what pesto does. Or it’s at least what the pesto on this particular sandwich I had tailgating to see Bruce Springsteen did. “Wanna play you over and over again, sticky just like the song in my head”
AND THATS THE SANDWICH!!! This was incredible and so much fun that you dearly anon!

I'mma ask the Rasmodious one later cause I want revenge!(ʘ言ʘ╬) Kk so I want part 2 about Seb cheating on farmer(^▽^), k so I want Seb to fell out of love on the lady(hehehe)and realized that he love farmer and was happy about his life with farmer, the farmer can be with another bachelor(≧▽≦) or you can make them together again if you want oh! Can you write the reaction of pelican town about the cheating? And maybeee father figure Rasmodious?(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) Cause it will be interesting (I still simp for anime portrait tho just want the reaction) k so bye!(。•̀ᴗ-)✧
B) I gotchu (ps I did kinda take some creative liberties, I know it'd be better to keep it vague but I had a bit of an idea yk?) (The theory that Abigail is secretly Rasmodious's daughter is practically canon in my head btw so it is canon in my writing unless otherwise requested)
Warning: light profanity, sex mentioned (not explained)
Towns reaction to initial cheating (Highlights)
Sam was disappointed in his friend. He thought you were cool! And you were so good to him. He couldn't have picked a better s/o for his friend. He stops talking to Seb as much, wouldn't talk to him at all if it weren't for the band. Doesn't consider him a friend anymore.
Abigail is also disappointed, but she gets it. She's lighter on Seb than Sam is.
He refuses to tell his family, so they don't even know, but they're so curious, especially Robin.
Rasmodious is PISSED. He noticed your behavior was off when you were bringing him some mushrooms he had requested, and had pulled the story out of you. He mumbled something about needing to protect those young girls in town from someone like him before sending you off. You noticed from here on he requested more random things from you, and when you'd deliver them he'd ask you how you are and would give you advice.
It was rough getting back into how things were before. You didn't enjoy farm life as much without Sebastian there. It just wasn't the same around town without him.
You had isolated yourself after he left. Sebastian wasn't close with many people in town, but Robin was. She was the local carpenter, and he was her son. Instead of hanging around town, you stayed at the farm, fearing judgement from the townsfolk.
Sebastian was living both at home and with his new partner. He could never get over the guilt of what he did to you, but damn could this new girl make him feel things he never thought he could, at least, she could in bed. Day to day life was different with her. She never woke him up with breakfast, coffee, or even a good morning.
As time went on, he found himself missing those moments more than he enjoyed great sex. He realized that's all she could do for him. He realized he had fucked up. She would never give him the little moments to cherish.
While things took a turn for the worse for Sebastian after the breakup, you had finally started to recover. It wasn't long after the breakup that you and Sam started to get closer. He reminded you of Sebastian in some ways, but he was so different in so many others.
You two got close, and you had the idea that he wanted to take it further than just friends, but you couldn't see yourself with someone so soon, and he seemed to respect that even without you needing to say it.
Sebastian eventually stopped spending so much time in the city. He broke things off with his new partner, learning from his previous mistakes, and started dwelling in the basement at Robins even more so than he used to.
The next major catastrophe happened when the band went to perform in front of Gus's. You had been avoiding their little gigs, not wanting to see Sebastian, but Sam had begged you to come. He performed little mini gigs at the farm for you by himself, but he couldn't be a one-man-band, they were still a band no matter the tension between members.
So you watched them perform. It was nice, Sebastian wouldn't even make eye contact with you but you didn't know if you could hold it if he did. No, the thing that made this a disaster was Robin. She has to know why you two broke up, no one would tell her anything!
The performance reaches it's end, and the band members start packing up their equipment to go. Despite this, Robin still stands in front of you, trying to decipher everything by any means possible.
She doesn't take the news well. She's so upset, and that's when Sebastian and Sam appear. Robin turns to scold her son for his actions, you don't do that to a person! He still can't make eye contact with you, but he can with Sam, especially after Sam pipes up, agreeing with Robin that his actions were nasty.
The two boys bicker until Abigail shows up to yell at them both. You notice the wizard also seems to be watching, though he's a bit further away. He had also helped you through your funk when Sebastian cheated, though in a different way from Sam. He offered you advice, and you took it. It sometimes felt like your grandfather was still around when the wizard was there, giving you the fatherly advice you need.
Abigail manages to shut them both up, and you can finally talk it out. You all agree to be civil from here on out, and Sebastian admits to realizing his mistakes, and that he missed you. Unsure if you can forgive him, you accept his apology.
Sam still seems peeved that you'd even talk to him, and tries to claim he's been here for you this whole time and Abigail shuts him up real fast.
So, farmer, it's up to you. Who would you choose?

heyy!!! i honestly dunno how to write requests if im suppose to be really indepth or just give u a prompt or smth but if u could i would really like some roommates au kazuha and the antics that come with it
this was a very nice prompt lol thank you for sending it in! i think having kazu as a roommate would be such a fun experience i hope you like it
Tumblr media
synopsis: kazuha is your college roommate and he likes to bake really really late at night
warnings: none really i mean a little fire maybe
characters: kazuha
notes: this can be taken as platonic or romantic don't matter uh this was nice to write and i like the idea of kazuha having a little bit of adhd symptoms bc i can say myself i have baked cupcakes at 2 am and almost caused a fire....
⊱ ───── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.}───── ⊰
•you weren't too excited to have a college roommate, but when kazuha had introduced himself upon entering your small shared apartment, you assumed he was the quiet type so he wouldnt be a bother, boy you were wrong
•kazuha was definitely the quiet type, most of the time you couldn't even tell he was home until he crept up behind you tryna talk to you but instead just scares the mess out of you
•he always had little knick knacks sprinkled around the apartment, one time you found a wooden squirrel with a beanie on the counter
•he was practically the perfect roomie, he'd make breakfast in the mornings often and would clean up (of course you'd offer to help) buys you dinner and stuff , so sweet
•he luckily was not one of those roommates who had people running in and out, but he did have this little green haired guy come over every now and then. you tried to introduce yourself but he kinda ignored you lol
•you also found out he played guitar! he even pops into your room to just strum some songs for you or recite his little lyrics
•it can get kinda annoying when he's playing his instrument in the middle of the night tho :/
•he often asks if you want to go hang out with him like taking walks or going to coffee shops
•he tried to convince you to get a cat for the apartment, when you finally agreed, he instantly had to get rid of the cat bc the landlord saw you tryna bring cat litter into the room lol (we miss you coco)
•in all he is a great roommate
there was one time though...
you knew kazuha was an eccentric person and that sometimes he would have little phases where he'd hype fixate on new hobbies, but baking an entire two tier cake at 2 am had to be a stretch. you were cuddled in your soft blankets in your room, sleeping away from the rest of the world uninterrupted. yet, when a a foul energy entered your lungs and awoke you with a coughing fit.
you threw your comforter off and ran out of your room following the path of black smoke to the kitchen. you mouth flew open with hands on your hips, you found the culprit of the fire, ther was kazuha hardly dressed with just a red shirt on with an underground band on it and a pair of grey basketball shorts. his snow unruly hair held back with a hair tie like he had been working on something. he was hissing through his teeth while carrying a gray steel pan with pink mitts on, he placed the pan on the counter then closed the oven. kazuha's eyes were squint, he hunched over and let out a mess of coughs. the gray smoke accumulating in the air made your eyes stung.
"kazuha what the hell." you coughed out. he peered up at you with his strawberry eyes, a small smile grew on him happy to greet you. you scowled at him. "come on man what are you doing, its two am..." he shrugged and waved the smoke from his face. "making you a birthday cake? he quiped. you walked past him to the window and lifted it up. "dude, my birthday isn't for three more months." you heard kazu chuckle. he took the pan and began to work on his cake again, as if he didnt almost cause a fire. "oh good, it not burnt." you purvhased yourself against the wall, staring at him bewilderingly, he truly was a free thinker. "wow! that smoke you made could have told me otherwise." kazuha let out a bark of laughter, he turned to you with the brightest look on his face. "oh hush, i'll let you have first bit if you stop complaing." he sung. you couldn't say no to that, if the cake comes out right. kazuha definitely wasn't roommate of the year, but he was an amazing person to have by your side, you could never admit that to him though.

What are your favorite musicals? Besides Six and Hadestown, of course
Also also!
Assigne musicals to each arrowfam member. It can be what you think would be their favorites or just something that makes you think of them
besides them, legally blonde and newsies :] legally blonde the musical is better than the movie i will not be silenced. just cannot be topped. and i saw newsies live recently and it kinda changed my fucking brain chemistry, it's also the show that got me INTO musicals! also im so sorry if u actually know me enough to know how insane i am about hadestown and six, no one deserves to be witness to who i become when i talk about them
i've definitely done this in a groupchat but i cant remember if i ever posted it so if not this is a great excuse to actually do so, thank u anon
ollie - (this will ignore in-universe canon references to cats and singin in the rain, tho i do think singin in the rain would be my choice otherwise) hadestown or come from away, unions, romance, and community innit. (i'd add newsies but i think ollie would refuse to watch it out of anti-disney principals. also maybe les mis but i dont feel qualified to say that bc i still havent forced myself to watch the stage version ive only seen the shitty film adaptation ((im so sorry)))
dinah - hate mosts musicals for the principle of it, will however watch chicago any time (but she used to be mine from waitress makes me think of her)
connor - waitress, i dont even have a reason for this im just Right
roy - mamma mia! roy has 3 dads and also great frog were for SURE an abba cover band
mia - heathers and moulin rouge, if u get it u get it if u dont u dont (i also spend about 50% of my time debating mia's relationship with R.E.N.T in my mind so theres that)
emi - outwardly hates them, secretly a legally blonde stan
lian - matilda, yes im mostly choosing this bc she is a child
(these are all incorrect, all of them have the same fave musical and its hit show spider-man: turn off the dark ((i cant lie ollie would fuck with some of the songs in that show, just like me fr)))

Its that time again!!!!!!!!!!! Best music to come out in March PLEEEAAASE
.Sex by Alice Longyu Gao. Experimental as HELL and the experiments pay off. Indie meets drum and bass with some screaming and trance. It's a lot. I love it. One of the rare English tracks on my rec list so like... if youd on't like non-English music relish this while you can
Beat my Face by Rico Nasty. I really like the beat on the track and Rico's aggressive flow really suits its more laid back tempo.
Believing off of Babymetal's new album. I kinda miss their sillier sound but I don't hate that theyre making more serious, urgent music. I chose believing because the chorus sounds a bit like they're interpolating All The Things She Said (they arent but it still sounds like it)! IMO this is a good ~metal album for anyone scared off by how hardcore metal can be and they need something more symphonic
Eat your Young by Hozier. I don't have to describe hozier for y'all... you konw
It's hard to pick a single track off the album but Ebony Eye by Yves Tumor. If you like alt music, this entire album is worth trying out. It's conceptual clarity is a sharp contrast to the diversity of sound you'll get on the album.
Exit by So!yoon!. I was picking off of tracks that came out in March, otherwise i'd shout out Bad, but yeah... this track is dreamy and aching and fully in English despite being by a Korean artist. The vocals have a nice punch while also reverberating through your head and bones.
Fly Girl by Flo. The nostalgic sound keeps developing them and choosing to collab with Missy Elliot really elevates them even further. Sliiick production and vocals
Onew (from Shinee) released a lot of music in both Korean and Japanese. My fave Japanese track is the vibrant Inspiration that highlights how lovely his voice is and as for the Korean song... maybe Paradise?? Or Expectations. There is a WEALTH of great tracks to choose from. If you love good production, listen to this whole album, each track is seamless.
Mugen Loop by Buck Tick feels like a song that plays in a theater as credits roll and you're so emotionally wiped out by the film, you just sit there, taking it in. The echoing guitar and swirling instrumentals make you feel like you are being enveloped by clouds.
Rover by Kai. I don't know if Kai NEEDED to do a reggaeton influenced song but... it's fun. I feel a lil stockholm syndromed into loving hte song and I think some b sides are better (Sinner being the easiest pick) but I can't deny I can't stop listneing
BILLLIE'S ENTIRE ALBUM. Idk how to describe it. Just a girl group working at max power.
Notable tracks but not necessarily my faves:
Underneath My Raincoat by Studio Killers (Poppy, low key)
Fall Out Boy's album happened and I can't say I have a fave that wasn't one fo the lead singles? I need to digest it a bit more but I do really enjoy the title track and the drama of it all.
Kororon by Eve. More poppy Jrock.
Lights out by Sunmi and Be'o. Sweet, simple Kpop. Her voice is BEAUTIFUL and this is so relaxing.
Dumbest Girl Alive by 100 Gecs. Beat does go hard. I cannot lie but also I wanna shout out 757. Fuck the ska based songs on this album tho
Circle by Code Kunst. More just good, simple r&b influenced kpop
Free by Hur. Mostly english Cpop that literally shocked me because it used fuck twice in a single second?? I was like WHAT??? It's kinda generic as a pop song but like in a 2000s way.
"can you help me?" by Can't Swim. 2000s indie rock vibes a la Motion City Soundtrack
Go by Kan Sano. Jazzy japanese music.
the forbidden door by lynch. More japanese metal. It's fucking good, okay.
All Nighter bt Tiesto. Just good dance music.
Bad Intentions by Bayside. More modern (ENGLISH!! SURPRISIGN FOR ME) rock music.
NOT FROM MARCH BUT:
dramatic by mass of the fermenting dregs. band name sounds hardcore but really the song is a soothing balm. music for an indie coming of age movie (but in japanese.)
more japanese music idk why i cahnged gears so hard this month but not enough by rei yasuda. sounds like it could thrive on america radio, tbh
trigun stampede's theme song. it's aping juice wrld SO heavily it kinda makes me uncomfortable but it's good...
the new shakira song is a fucking bop i can't stop listening
sorry this was so long all i did this month was listen to music and laugh about my dead nana

Playing “Naked”
youtube
I feel there’s this misconception by laymen that jazz musicians are just playing complete nonsense that has no point, structure or coherence.  And in a lot of cases that’s true.
Think of jazz as finance.
Both are hugely reaching terms that cover a lot of ground, and are kind of hard to define in a singular “this is it” term.  They also share a lot of high-level intellectual stuff that can be off-putting, and purveyors of these industries (lol at calling jazz an industry) have little problem tossing around concepts that seem very complex and difficult to grasp.  Which makes them playgrounds for bullshit artists and conmen.
Conmen like John Scofield, for example.
When you take away all the surrounding noise, all the help from bandmates or clever arrangements.  When you take away tools and leave a musician with just their hands and mind...that’s playing naked.  Watch the video at the top.
Then watch this...
youtube
It doesn’t blow my mind to see shcucksters playing solo gigs with two amps (mic’d and including a gigantic wedge monitor for some reason...) and two pedal boards, one reserved for looping yourself.  It doesn’t blow my mind because these guys are everywhere...go to some rib burn off or some county fair and I guarantee you see some dude with an acoustic, a mic, and a quarter mile of pedals at his feet.
There ain’t shit “naked” about this.  Well, there kinda is...because his aimless melodies are more exposed than they typically are.
And I’ll admit, there’s some decent stuff going on here at first...almost like he’s restrained...oh wait, nope.  Go to the 3:00 mark and watch him vomit all over himself.  Listen for at least 30 seconds.
When you play “naked,” it can be intimidating because all those things that help fill up space...bass, drums, piano and horns...are gone.  Some guys fill this up with parlor tricks like slapping your guitar and making all this percussive bullshit...which is lame as fuck.
But, again to the video at the top...there are no parlor tricks here.  No loopers or giant pedal boards.  Sure, there’s a drummer, but his job here is to follow and mimic exactly what Metheny does.  There’s no support here for Metheny...he’s just got his hands and mind.
And what he does with it is incredible.  Compare what he’s doing melodically to what Scofield is attempting to do with great difficulty...those melodies are clear and defined, they’re coherent and each one blends into the other cohesively.  You can tell where he is in the harmony...even though there isn’t harmony there.  You can tell because his melody is so clearly defining it, which is what a musician is supposed to do, instead of just puke all over the floor and charge people to watch.
Seriously, that Scofield video pisses me off.  Why not just call it “I’m too cheap to hire a band, but I have a bloated lifestyle to maintain?”
The master of playing “naked” is my idol, Joe Pass.  You listen to him...yea, he’s fucking with the harmony and stretching sections out...but you know exactly where he is in the song, you can hear the melody in your head, and...if you catch yourself tapping your foot...you’ll likely match up with him during one of the many cuts where they cut from his Tommy Bahama shirt to show him tapping his old man walking shoes.  The man had groove.
youtube
The whole point is this...
If you’re going to be naked in public, you might as well invite the audience along with you.  Otherwise you’re just some weirdo making dumb sounds until the cops show up.
I’ve found a nice niche playing solo guitar in this vein and have probably done 15-20 gigs like this now since last October.  It was nerve-wracking at first, let me tell you.  Just standing there like some jamoke...and that’s before you play a note.
But once you get used to it, it’s a fucking blast.  People seem to like this shit more, and get more into it, than when I was playing rock gigs blasting ear drums out for drunk people.  Again tho...that’s only if you’re inviting them along to join in enjoying the music.
Because good god, I’d never get hired again if I showed up and did shit like Scofield in that video above.  The only thing keeping the crowd there is the fact that they paid, and if they walked out, they know they’d be wasting their money.  Because everything he’s playing is metaphorically no different than him standing on a stage with his dick hanging out while giving two blazing middle fingers to the audience.
It’s not hard...ok let me amend this...it’s incredibly hard to learn how to play melody that clearly outlines the harmony while still sounding interesting, and it’s even harder to add in chords and basslines at the same time.  THAT SAID...if you wanna play “naked,” and play “naked” well, this is what you gotta do.
Otherwise the audience will be even more lost than they were with bass, drums and piano.  And also, if you don’t, people will start to think all jazz musicians are conmen like Scofield.

July 6 2022
lol just when I said “wow i feel totally good lately”. I had a rough night the one before last. Full on anxiety wave in bed. I did my usual “more” routine, which is interesting. During it, if I go “is it working”, it makes it worse, despite knowing that it’s meant to. The mind is so tricky. Anyway it passed, I slept, but was a little dumpy the next day. Just negative and stinky. Today, I’m good.
I think something that perhaps contributed to my vibe was hearing (from Lawson) that Ethan was getting a band together. The bandmates were rather random… a couple 19 year olds… one, a really good country singer. The other some random guitar kid he played with a while ago for seemingly no reason.
The thing that ground my gears is that… it’s a band… like the one we had… but just totally undeveloped in all ways…
He’s going to have to do what he should have in this band, in this unnamed band. Or it will be turd.
It really shows what the true issue was. We had a band that made us feel big and cool. I had all the control, because I did everything. He wasn’t in control of the thing where he could show the world how cool he was. Now he is.
Ya, so. Triggered lol.
Just kinda hung out today, I feel mostly fine, but baaaaaaarely on edge. Just from feeling stinky. It’s always a bit surprising so, waiting for a surprise. But not. I dunno.
Izzy popped over after work. Went out for sushi. My mom made a roast, so I just had some sashimi. Mm. Met Lawson at Departure Bay after to give him wallet back, which he forgot in my car a few ago when we went to Spice Hut for food. He brought his new puppy (“Mac”, I think) for a visit.
On a more general note, about me that is, I’m not really sure what to report in regards to my mental state. I’m fine but rather bored, which doesn’t help that much. I feel like if I had some decent work, some friends, some music, I’d be good. Sounds obvious, not sure why I feel like saying it. I guess I’m good, but my environment isn’t making me super great, which is what I’m used to. Ya! Rambling now, but I remember when I had music going good, I just could NOT be bothered. Just didn’t give a fuck. At all. That’s perhaps an overstatement, but that’s how it felt. I was just content as fuck. Shit would just roll off my back. I guess that’s just science tho, when you’re feeling good, you’re not irritable.
Was thinking the other night. Last night, I think. You’re either day dreaming, ruminating, or meditating. (I dunno, is that right?) Normally, I’m rather heavily day-dreaming. Band this, music that. Always excited for whats on the horizon. When I… “lost” (?) that, it was really jarring. Really jarring. Like wtf do I do with my head now? Listening to Whole Lotta Love on the radio right now (parked at Piper’s), and the thought of just rockin out with a band gets me going. So good.
This whole period of my life has been incredibly valuable for teaching that balance and realism is needed in life. It’s not all rock concerts and jam sessions and fooling around with your posse. Even when things work out, they eventually settle down, and you need to learn how to live simply otherwise risk getting knocked on your ass. Like I did.
That’s all for now, going for a walk.

Assorted Monty HCs 5
(Running under the assumption of Organic/Human Monty unless otherwise specified) 
- While Monty’s place in the band is playing the bass, he also knows how to play the drums (I mean, come on, he’s totally a drums guy). Likely knows how to play the guitar and similar string instruments, too, though he doesn’t typically play them in concerts. Sometimes he does, though!
- He does practice the actual songs the band plays for concerts of course, but he also likes learning how to play various songs from his favorite games and shows, too 
- Can’t read sheet music - he used to be able to, but after a while of not doing it, he has no idea what he’s looking at. Doesn’t take much to jog his memory, but he’s very confused at first lmao
- Generally does a lot of his practice through hearing a song and playing by memory - absolute god at improv as a result 
- Also just like. gets really into playing when he does, too. This man loves being a part of a band and is really passionate about music in general
- Even if he’s just playing by himself, his tail’s thumpin along to the beat, his head’s bobbin, foot stompin, totally into it 
- Also really good at melding songs together??? And has a habit of doing it on accident, too 
- Like one minute he’ll be playing one song and then he’ll flow into a completely different one because the chords matched and it switched over really smoothly 
- Sometimes this derails rehearsal but he doesn’t mean to - it just sounded really cool in the moment n he got into it 
- This also likely means there’s been some really cool remixes of songs suggested by Monty, too - like one where Freddy’ll be singing the chorus of one song and Monty or one of the others will be singing the chorus of another song that matched up lyrically (like subject wise) really well 
- Also knows how to play a lot of meme-y songs and it’s fucking great. It’ll just be dead silent for a second after they finish a rehearsal or he’s just fucking around and you just hear the first few notes of Megalovania getting busted out bc he thought it was funny 
- Does tend to get a bit frustrated if he keeps messing up or something doesn’t sound right (keeps knockin’ him off his groove!) n sometimes ends up cutting his practice short to blow off some steam 
- He would never ever in a million years lay a destructive claw on his bass, same as his golf clubs, so he usually just sets it back on the stand and goes and does something else before he gets properly upset - usually meaning he’s off to go swim around in the golf ponds or just play some golf until he feels ready to come back to it
- it is kinda funny tho bc sometimes you’ll just be walking by his green room and all you hear is
* strumming * * wrong chord * 
“FUCK”
* strumming continues from where he started * 
- He absolutely thrives off the energy given by the crowd during their shows and loves dishing it right back. I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s a show off, it’s more like a hype feedback loop if that makes sense lmao. He gets hyped up by the crowd, his energy hypes the crowd, hyping him up more
- Usually means after shows he is absolutely fucking VIBRATING with energy, especially if the show went well - this can mean he can get a little destructive if the energy becomes a bit too much for him to handle, but otherwise he’s chipper as can be
- He can and will play for you whenever he can, be it inviting you to rehearsals or just playing for you one-on-one 
- He gets a bit embarrassed if he messes up during the little one on one performances he does for you but with a little reassurance he’s confident to keep going
- Also improvs funny little songs to get you to laugh, too - usually about whatever’s going on around you two or some random thing he thought was funny while you two are walking around the Plex or you’re working on something n there’s some awkward silence he wants to fill
- Should you be in the crowd during their concerts, you’ll find him looking to you a bit more often than the rest of the crowd
- Perhaps a cheeky flip down of his shades and a wink or two if he catches you watching him, too. or several 
- Honestly it makes his whole day to see you groovin right along with him in the crowd. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t crave that sort of validation, especially coming from you 
- Also is 100000000% down to teach you how to play, too - not so much the songs themselves as it is the techniques behind playing, though 
- Though if you wanna play something along with him on one of his other instruments he is SO down for it
- Like him teaching you how to golf, it’s another one of those things where that more serious/soft side of him really starts to show. There’s no teasing, no harshness, nothing. Just very soft, encouraging gator guiding your hands n teaching you how to play 
- And should you be allowed to play with the rest of the band, even if it’s just a fun thing between you guys, he is SO excited 
- He’s just very passionate about music, almost as much (if not equally as much) as he is about golf

This Week in BL
April 2021 Part 3
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
Second Chance Ep 3 - this is proper YA, they are dealing with actual high school issues, picking uni, first crushes, online dating, etc... We even got a senior prom trope which almost never happens in Thai stuff (just the freshman uni competition variant). Standard plot pacing means PaperFah’s kiss was too early, might indicate we’re moving to uni in the second half of the series? Tropes included: let me feed you, hand hold, black & white striped shirt, floppy drunk & first kiss. 
Y-Destiny Ep 3 - the first MaxNat ep. Such fun to see them playing different characters. This one is enemies to lovers, tutor/student, but it’s using the “poor little rich kid loose cannon” archetype. Nat is doing his best, but it’s leaving me cold. Lots of tropes tho: boyfriend’s closet, floppy drunk, pillow clutch, the loom & water bottle. 
Lovely Writer Ep 8 - solid installment, good use of many tropes. I really like the leads and I’m glad there isn’t much side dish action, SibGene gave us: punish, touch your face, boyfriend claiming, kissing, sleep cuddling, symmetry, rooftop, cheek kiss, hand hold, and pillow clutch. 
Call It What You Want Ep 3-4 - couldn’t find the subs, don’t really care, will watch if it crosses my radar, otherwise I’m just not into it.  
Brothers Ep 11 - the “everyone wants Chol” show continues (but WHY?), he and Tri are cute together, and now I kinda just want Prab to end up with the twins. I’m confused by the teachers, but Boston showed up (from UWMA), and my boys KhunKaow got together (YES!), so I’m ultimately delighted with the episode. 
Fish Upon The Sky Ep 2 - the makeover happened, and we go from cute with glasses and braces to cute without them. (I’m reminded of those 90′s Pygmalion teen movies where the girl has glasses + ponytail and then *GASP* does not and *GASP* she’s HOT. This was the BL version.) Meanwhile, writers better be careful with Pi, he’s getting too tsundere to like. Did you see they gave AJ a 2gether music intro & pick up line? Well, it’s actually his brother JJ who plays Ohm in 2g. I cackled. GMMTV - you so cheeky. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai 
HIStory 4: Close To You (Taiwan) Ep 5 - half way point. My poor confused babies. It was a really sweet episode... if what happened before hadn’t happened in the way that it had. Also, these boys have a GREAT friendship but are probably the worst advice givers ever. 
Most Peaceful Place (Vietnam) Ep 3 fin - so cute! Our boys confessed and got together. There was an adorable mutual kiss (I love me a mutual, like Ingredients). Afterwards, they actually seemed to communicate with each other about both sex and their relationship. OMG. How original for BL! This was the last episode, so the series is short, but I still enjoyed it very much. RECOMMENDED. 
My Lascivious Boss (Vietnam) Ep 1-2 - oh boy this one is rough, we started out with homophobia child abuse and moved on to family drama + drunken dub-con one night stand. But production values and subs are better than normal for Vietnam (You Are My Boy levels) + our queer babies are out & proud + it’s higher heat + I’m weak. So I’m watching. 
Word of Honor (China) Ep 25-27 - honestly not much happened, lots of back story. Things are looking dire for the ghosts unless they can turn the Scorpion (I LOVE HIM, he’s my precious deadly baby). Don’t know how they managed to make loosing a battle with an immortal sword god ex-friend cute... but they did. Did some calculations and at 36 eps, mathematically speaking, ep 30 will be the equivalent of a standard BL ep 11. Should I be scared for next week? 
Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding (Korea) Ep 1-2 - it’s so effing adorbs, soft bois do old fashioned tropes like arranged marriage + evil stepsisters meets the more modern fake relationship + secret identity in a surprisingly comfortable mix. It launched with baby is a floppy drunk, forced proximity, performative I saw you feed him, and some fun gay panic. It’s a lot lighter and faster paced than I was expecting, but this is Korea so I don’t know why I’m surprised. 
Tumblr media
Stand Alones 
K-pop band OnlyOneOf dropped a new MV that is basically BL bait, using many of the tropes we know and love. I promise I’m not trying to lure anyone into K-pop I just thought it was interesting how consciously they’re yaoi dipping. 
Spin-off We Best Love Fighting Mr. 2nd, Shou Zhen | the Only Love Letter Once Written (SERIOUSLY WITH THE TITLES TAIWAN?) anyway there’s a something or other 25 minutes featuring Pei Shou Yi and his boy that aired Friday. It’s about 10 minutes of reboot footage with 15 min of new content, mostly set in the past. It entirely rests on Chih Tian Shih’s acting, fortunately for us he’s great. However, it doesn’t substantially change or add to these characters’ arcs from the finale of WBL season 2. I don’t know if there will be more or if this was just an extra footage fan service. 
COLOR RUSH GOT ITS MOVIE!!! Okay this is almost the tipping point for me to get Viki Standard. It’s listed at 1:56 minutes long but the original series had only c.120 running time - that is a lot of new content. Although i was disappointed by To My Star’s movie I loved Wish You’s, so I am hoping Color Rush got Wish You level treatment. That said, I feel Color Rush the series is damn near perfect already, hard to improve on perfection. 
Tumblr media
Breaking News
Close Friend the series got an updated trailer featuring MaxNat (no subs) so if you like them in Y-Destiny or in Why R U get ready for them to play different characters again, this time for a sports romance segment. Like Y-Destiny, Close Friend looks to be another series of vignettes (Original trailer) coming April 22. 
2gether the movie (Thai trailer) was intended release April 22 but is now postponed due to a surge in C19 cases in Thailand.
Tell the World I Love You, a Thai BL movie that was supposed to release last week, is similarly delayed.  
My Ride has been postponed indefinitely with no airing date. 
The Miracle of Teddy Bear got a teaser vid, no eng subs. 
Tumblr media
Gossip
Thai BL actors Nanon (Bad Buddy), Yoon (YYY), and Mark Siwat (LBC, Bite Me) have tested positive for C19. Press releases stated they’re fine, tho filming has paused fore their various projects, obvs. (No word on whether Nanon’s current project was Bad Buddy or not, although it seems likely given his recent Arm Share episode.) 
Tumblr media
Next Week Looks Like This:
Some shows may be listed later than actual air date for International accessibility reasons.

Tumblr media
Feeling the cold night air filling my lungs with a faint smell of grass is much better than the smoky and sweaty, heavy air present among the public that gets worse near the mosh pit. I lean back against the brick wall, feeling the cold surface through the thick jeans of my jacket, digging into my shoulder blades as I try to control my breathing, quietly watching the band leaving the stage to give place to another.
My throat feels dry, aching the slightest after I swallow around the sharp and cold breaths, so I look around for a stand to buy at least a soda, ankling over to the nearest one. The line isn't actually that long – thank hell –, but that doesn't prevent a random bastard from trying to cut in line.
"Hey, what in the fuck you think you're doing?" I raise an eyebrow, pulling them back by their collar and they just look at me with this sulky face, bottom lip sticking out and lip ring glowing lightly under the reduced lighting. "No cutting in!"
"Says who?" they retort bitterly. "What you gonna do about it?"
"Aw, bold, aren't we?" I raise an eyebrow, glancing down and... the motherfucker is wearing school clothes, lacking the tie and shirt untucked. Private school. "What are you? Not like the other kids? The line isn't even that long, stupid."
"Fuck off," they sigh, shrugging out of my grip and harshly fixing their clothes.
"Frank– Fuck, Frank, the hell, can't we leave you alone for a single second?" A random voice suddenly interrupts our interaction before a tall person approaches, a motherly and worried air lacing their gaze. They look from me to Frank before exhaling, raising an eyebrow, at which Frank shrugs. "I'm sorry for whatever Frank did, he–"
"Fuck, no, Ray!" Frank cuts them off, "you're not playing the good guy here! I was just trying to–"
"Trying to cut in the line, yeah, very nice of you, isn't it?" I roll my eyes, twisting my mouth. At least he isn't lying, but is he stupid or something? Why would he try to convince us what he was trying to do was alright?
It looks like Frank is going to argue for a second, but ends up just groaning through gritted teeth and looking away with a sigh and tense shoulders.
Ray doesn't look any amused, only observing Frank like who looks at a puzzle after having tried to solve it for weeks without success. They shake their head, turning to me instead. "I'm Ray, he/him, nice to meet you. Sorry for Frank, what he did is... unfortunately usual."
I observe him looking at him from head to toes. School uniform just like Frank's, tucked shirt, loose tie. "Hi. I'm (y/n), (y/p). And don't worry, I would've done the same," I breathe, looking away from the two to hand the person behind the counter the money after pointing to the drink I want.
"What?" Frank gasps. "You would've done the same and still acted all like that towards me?"
I roll my eyes, sighing. "Me doing it doesn't mean I like being affected by it." I grab the change, shoving it in my pocket then step aside for Frank and Ray, cracking the can open.
"Y'know–" Frank crosses his arms over his chest, throwing his nose in the air, "–my momma says that you should treat the others as you want to be–"
"Aw, honey, so you'd like me cutting in the line right in front of you? Shamelessly?" I raise an eyebrow at him, unable to hold back a grin when his face gets bright red, hands balling into fists. Not gonna lie, it's kinda cute how he twists his mouth. Frank is about to curse when Ray is shoving a couple of cans into his hands – a sigh leaves his lips instead. "Two for each?" I question and sip on my drink.
Frank smirks, looking at me with humor. "Yeah, wanna watch me drink them at once?"
Ray rolls his eyes at Frank, shoving him out of the way after noticing there were people behind them. "We're actually with two other friends. Are you alone here? Do you wanna come along?" He smiles, ignoring Frank's complaints, so I opt for doing the same.
"I guess that'd be nice," I hum, shrugging. Otherwise, I'd be going home right now and Ray actually seems nice... I mean, Frank does too, but I'm not feeding his ego.
The other two stand against a brick wall when we find them, both quietly chatting to each other until seeing us approaching. The first one doesn't exactly react, more interested in the can Ray hands him, but the second, greasy punk, hums questioningly, straightening their posture as taking a good look at me almost like I did to Frank earlier. "And who are you?"
"(Y/n), (y/p)," I mutter, looking at them from over the rim of the can, taking a sip of my drink.
"Found lying in the trash when I approached," Frank adds, but doesn't seem so confident after I playfully shove him aside.
"Gerard, he/they," Gerard replies, eyes never averting away from mine. What is he, kind of a gang leader? Got a hell of an ego, though a bit differently from Frank – I'm noticing a pattern here, huh. "Mikey, he/him," he continues, nodding to the other guy.
I throw my empty can in a trashcan before leaning in towards Gerard. He tries to escape the touch, but he's against a wall, there's nowhere to go. How cute. "Belleville High," I say, finally able to make out what the small black letters embroidered on the chest area says, and step away, allowing Gerard to breathe. "Isn't it that private school? Catholic one? Wow, who'd know I'd find BH students here!"
"Stereotyping, are we?" Frank raises an eyebrow. It's impossible holding back a smile at him.
"No, never," I chuckle. "It's just a... rare occurrence. You came here right after school?"
"Not really." Ray shakes his head. "Just didn't have the opportunity to change. Good thing it's Friday, tho," he chuckles humorlessly and I nod in a silent agreement.
"And where do you study?" Frank takes a better look at my face. "If you study, that is."
I scoff, but don't reply just yet. Mikey is the most tidied up out of the four whereas Gerard has his tie loose around his neck, shirt untucked, blazer all wrinkled. "Of course I study, dumbass!" I glare. "But I'm in the public school near the park. But I've seen you before." I nod towards Gerard. "Just don't know where."
Gerard's eyes narrow. "Are you sure?"
"It's not always that I see a greasy vampire looking around, so yeah."
A silence hovers between us for a moment, both of us staring at each other until he feigns unamusement, looking away – I smile with a stupid pride swelling in my chest.
The night ends with us exchanging numbers after a solid hour of joking around and throwing sarcastic insults at each other. Teasing Gerard was particularly fun because he often ran away from the whole joking or at least tried to and even Mikey laughed when it failed, though sometimes succeeding when Frank finally managed to get the spotlight on himself. Ray is sweet, despite being the perfect example for 'looks like a cinnamon roll, but can actually kill you.'
Gerard got my attention, to be honest.
Saturday and Sunday go by quite slowly and thankfully texting the guys every five minutes doesn't make it as depressing as usual. Texting Gerard isn't the same as texting Frank – who replies a text to each word I send him –, however. Gerard often replies with a word or a vague comment and guess what? I'm only more interested.
No Gerard manages to slip between my thoughts during school, but it ends up happening as soon as I step past the gates. Belleville high, isn't it? Shitty elite, but they don't really seem to be like that... let's see if that wasn't just great acting. That's not even a mile away from here. I look down the street, the direction opposite to where I would usually go. It won't hurt to say hi, right? Not to mention I've got nothing to do for the rest of the day.
Belleville High's classes finish about ten minutes later compared to my school's, so I don't bother walking too fast, but not slow enough to let my palms get clammy or overthink anything. Amazing how I can feel like this about people I only met once. Okay, whatever, take a deep breath because I guess I know these curls.
"Look at who we have here!" I throw an arm around Frank's neck, interrupting whatever they were doing and attracting wide eyes towards me. Turns out I found them earlier than expected, hanging out in the park.
"Damn, are you everywhere?" Frank raises an eyebrow at me and presses his lips together, though never stepping away. Blood?
"Who knows?" I joke. "Also..." I trail off, only now taking a good look at them. "Man, what in the hell fucking happened to you guys? Seriously–" I yank a paper off Frank's back, sighing at the 'kick me' written across it and hand it to him, shaking my head. What fucking idiot did this? How the hell did they even get into a fight? It doesn't seem like they were fighting each other.
Frank groans poorly, wadding the paper into a ball and tossing it at the nearby trash can. He's got a few scratches above his eyebrows and blood trailing down the corner of his lips. Mikey and Gerard are probably in the best state out of the four – Gerard got blood trailing down his nose and same for Mikey, though on opposite sides and Mikey's cheek is smeared with blood. I can't say the same about Ray... I don't know how he's not even wincing with all that blood trailing down his face.
"Well," Mikey breathes, bringing a hand to the back of his head, "you can say that–"
"Why do you even want to know?" Gerard steps forward, hands clenched into fists by his sides. "You got nothing to do with it, okay?"
"Aw," I breathe a chuckle. So he wants things to happen like this? But does he have the nerve to keep it? I may not have known him for long, but the attitude is clearly foreign, unmatching. "And what, baby? You lost, didn't you? And you're a fucking sore loser!"
"I just don't see why you should know." He twists his mouth, looking at me uninterested, but it doesn't take long until he's looking at me with these eyes, irises barely seen, eyebrows scrunched close. "And don't talk to me like that! Maybe it would even be better if you fucked off and left us alone, don't you think?"
Man, he talks a lot. Too much. No wonder why he's in such a state. Maybe he'll shut up if I...
"Holy..." Frank trails off with a quiet chuckle and I'm certain Gerard would have glared at him if he wasn't processing what just happened.
Meanwhile, Mikey and Ray stare at me with wide eyes – as wide as Gerard's, but they're not as petrified as Gerard is, for sure, only with hesitant, unsure grins on their faces. I suppress the urge to laugh at Gerard, instead more focused on rubbing my tongue against the roof of my mouth, trying to get rid of the salty and metallic taste.
A quiet sound comes from Gerard as he finally moves, maybe a groan, not sounding really comfortable. He brings a hand up to his lips. The perfect trail of almost dry blood is now smudged, following the direction I licket it to, having the blood smeared across his chin and bottom lip. "Ugh, ugh, ugh," he groans, frantically cleaning his lips and chin with the back of his wrist, against the sleeve of his blazer. "What the fuck? You're gross!"
I roll my eyes with a sigh. "Man, I wonder why I thought being an asshole could be solved."
"Eh, trust me, he isn't normally like this," Ray says with a shrug, looking at Gerard like if he was a chained angry dog even after receiving a glare.
No one gives Gerard's tantrum much attention as we soon sit down on the grass and change the subject before we can notice. Surprisingly, Gerard sits down next to me. Even more surprisingly, he leans closer at some point and whispers, "well, look at who's the vampire now."
Saying Gerard's words got stuck in my head would be an understatement. Maybe it's a nightmare, maybe it's not, but it does get me randomly blushing or stupidly grinning during random times of the day. Nonetheless, school the following day does help a bit with cleaning my head a little.
After a few hours of staring at blackboards, the setting changes to staring at records hanging on the walls and it's honestly better. Incoherent, loud chatter being changed to music of my choice is a lot better, even if I need to talk to a customer now and then.
"This is the place I told you about. I've only been here once, but it seems good," a voice says from the outside, but I don't look up from my homework.
"Never been here," someone else says. A pause follows then their footsteps sound clearer and I sigh, shoving my things on the space under the counter.
"Hello, good afternoon," I say automatically, holding back a groan at how my eraser insists on falling and grabbing it fast. "How can I help you?" I finally look up just to freeze. And the four have the same reaction, to be honest. "I knew I had seen you before," I say to Gerard.
"What a small world!" Frank approaches, immediately narrowing his eyes and throwing his nose in the air as looking over to me. "So you're not a rebel who only wanders around and goes to free concerts during the night and stalks us?" He raises an eyebrow, looking around the place, inspecting the shelves full of records and CDs.
"So you only got one set of clothes?" I mock, staring at his school uniform.
Frank exhales, shoulders dropping. "We just got here from school." He motions vaguely to his messenger bag and I nod, humming, not like it matters a lot.
While we talk, Ray and Mikey wander around, talking quietly to each other and sometimes taking a record in hand, but Gerard... he stands there awkwardly, observing Frank and I with a lost gaze. What is he doing? Trying to act all cool like last time? Or doesn't know how to react?
"Hello," I greet, which sounds more like a question. Frank turns around to look at him, apparently understanding Gerard as much as I do.
Gerard presses his lips together and steps forward, also leaning against the counter. "You didn't mention you work here."
"Didn't have a reason to." I shrug.
The corner of his lips twitch and he's holding eye contact until sighing. "Okay, whatever. Got anything new on Misfits or Pumpkins? Also, Bauhaus." He glances at me, black strands falling over his eyes for a moment before he's pulling them away. Cute.
"Of course." I grin, moving to the cabinets behind the counter.
Frank eventually darts off as I show Gerard the records and cassettes like he wanted. I glance around to make sure Frank is paying attention to whatever Mikey is telling him and Ray before I turn to Gerard again, grinning lightly. "Y'know," I mutter, leaning forward with my elbows over the counter. "I've got passes for a bar concert tonight. Wanna come?"
"What do you mean by passes?" His eyes never avert from the records – he runs his fingers over them delicately, examining each of them closely.
"Each ticket was about ten dollars and they're sold out, but the store is sponsoring the event and I got free passes." I smirk, watching his eyebrows raise lightly. "I usually can get one person in with me. What do you say?"
He pauses. "Why me?"
"Because you're the one I know the least." And also the one I'm interested in. "Pick you up at seven, what do you say?"
He sighs. "I'll text you my address."
.
"Wow, you're..." Gerard stares at me with a blank face, standing there and letting all the cold air get in. He rushes into the car, closing the door carefully.
"I'm...?" I raise an eyebrow, sinking my foot down on the gas, pulling away from the sidewalk.
"I don't know." Silence. "Not what I expected."
"Glad to know." I grin. "You're also not what I expected. You're never what I expect, to be honest..." He wasn't all open in the beginning, but also wasn't the asshole he was in the park – in his defence, at least, he had just gotten out of a fight, nerves still on edge. At the store, however, he seemed more like himself. "Also, you're looking good."
Gerard's eyes are surrounded by eyeliner and a red eyeshadow – definitely nothing I would see him in, but also nothing I'm disappointed about –, bringing out his paleness. And for the first time, he isn't wearing that stupid school uniform and fancy shoes are replaced by platform boots. A leather jacket clutches his shoulders, decorated with a few studs and patches, and covering a nice Slipknot shirt. And there are his jeans, fucking tight and I swear I hadn't noticed this guy got such a nice ass and, fucking hell, it's difficult not staring at his thighs flat on the seat, with a chain falling over one of them.
"Thank you," he mutters quietly. Even in the reduced lighting, I can see his cheeks gaining a red tone before he looks away.
The place is crowded, but not overly – which is why the tickets were even sold, at first place – and it's fun seeing Gerard's chin drop when he looks at the sign of the place. To simplify, everyone is either always wanting to play in this bar or come watch someone play and the tickets are not only always sold in small quantities, but also expensive.
"Let's go," I chuckle after having spent a good moment observing Gerard.
We jog across the street, towards the entrance, just straight away skipping the whole line. The guy in charge of letting people in looks at us indifferently, in a silent question, muscles clear under the tight staff shirt. Even if there's no visible difference in his expression, he does relax a bit after I show him my pass and steps aside to let us in.
"Wow," Gerard mutters, almost inaudibly.
"You like it?" I ask as we walk through the people. No answer comes. He stayed back, of course; the boy is kinda shy and hesitant, after all. "C'mon!" I take a hold of his hand to pull him with me until we're in the bar area, which's much calmer. He stands there for a moment, looking around, until I point at one of the stools, sitting down on the one beside it.
Gerard shifts on his seat, hands resting on his lap and clenched into fists. He observes everything with wide eyes and I can't bring myself to avert my attention away from him. He's beautiful.
When the band starts playing, however, the atmosphere starts changing. It's a classic punk band – the kind of people you'd see around in skate lanes, spraying anarchist messages on a building's wall or behind a McDonald's counter – and the music is good, nonetheless, raw and emotional and demanding. Great to dance to.
Gerard is shy, as already stated – what makes me wonder how he even agreed on coming –, taking a good time to actually stand up from the stool and join me.
His hand is warm under mine, maybe not as warm as his cheeks seem to be. I had taken it in mine to pull him up from the stool, only, but he didn't let go and... oh well. Aren't you interesting, Gerard? I grin to myself and take his other hand to pull him to dance with me; that if you consider moving around to the rhythm of the song some kind of dance, but Gerard doesn't complain.
I'm not sure how much time goes by – I only question myself about that once the band is saying good night, breathing audibly as they get off the stage. The live music is replaced by a momentary incoherent chatter when loud music fills the place again, this time coming from the speakers. Gerard and I are out of breath when averting our attention from the stage to each other. My arms feel a bit sore after all of that, almost the opposite to my numb legs.
"Wanna grab a drink?" I nod towards the bar. "We can go to the alley to take a breath, then."
"Sounds good."
The non-alcoholic drinks are as cold as the night air, suddenly making it even more obvious how much we jumped around to the band's sound. We lean against the wall opposite to the side of the bar and I look at Gerard, watching his chest rise and fall fast, only coming to a longer pause when he brings the glass to his lips. He observes something above us, maybe the sky, but I don't care.
"Your nose is bleeding again." I suddenly note, seeing the dark red trail now almost reaching his upper lip. Not a surprise. He hurt his nose not much over a day ago and all the jumping must have opened the wound.
"Fuck." Gerard brings a hand to his nose and sighs when seeing the red stain on his fingers; I chuckle softly, halfheartedly. "What? You wanna lick it again?" he teases, raising an eyebrow at me. He apparently opts for not ruining the sleeve of his leather jacket, regarding it more than his school blazer.
I roll my eyes, smiling helplessly. "Well, if you'd like me to," I decide to tease back, looking at him through half lidded eyes.
"Ah, you wouldn't dare!" He chuckles, blood staining his lips according to how he talks.
"You think so, honey?" I raise an eyebrow. A few stutters come from him, but I just grab his glass and set it aside with mine, on the ground, before stepping towards him. "Tell me, why are you always so... bold around me? It's clear it's not part of you, as Ray even said." I suppress a humorous chuckle at how he frantically backs away against the wall, having nowhere to go. This brings me memories. "Maybe it has a specific reason?"
Gerard's eyes are wide, lips twitching, though no word ever comes through and his expression changes instantly once I get a hold of his hips and pin him to the wall. Feeling the heat coming from his cheeks is almost possible and all that resistance is gone, tendering into compliance and shyness.
"Look at you, Gerard," I mutter, rubbing circles into his hips as leaning in. "How surprising can you be?"
Having Gerard only letting out a quiet whine in response as his hands rest hesitantly over my shoulders make my heart flutter in my chest. I finally lean in, pressing my lips to Gerard's; he returns the kiss right away, lips sliding against mine easily.
And there it is; the rich metallic taste of Gerard's blood. I run my tongue over his bottom lip, snatching a hum from him, which turns into a whining-gasp once my teeth sink into it slightly.
His hands tighten around my shoulders, I grip harder onto his hips in consequence and he's sent relaxing back against the wall. He never had control over the kiss, but he's suddenly just giving up on the power at once with a quiet sound, slowly wrapping his arm around my neck to pull me closer and I gladly deepen the kiss.
"Wow, love," I breathe as soon as we part the kiss, lungs screaming for air. Gerard doesn't reply verbally, with his lips brushing lightly against mine and, by now, the blood is starting to get sticky, on its way to drying, also on my lips.
"I hope we can go out more often," he mutters shyly, not long before burying his face in the crook of my neck.

everyone's talking about music in your asks so i wanna know what your music hcs are for the genshin boys 👉👈
anon im so sorry for taking so long to reply but i really thought about it... and this is the first time ive ever made like a list of hcs so bear with me
i didnt know whether you meant hcs for the type of music they listened to or like them as musicians so i kinda did both
Genshin boy’s music headcannons under the cut!!
characters: kaeya, diluc, venti, albedo, bennett, razor, xingqiu, chongyun, zhongli, childe, xiao, scaramouche, aether, dainsleif
kaeya:
I get big sweater weather by the neighbourhood vibes from him
bi icon i guess
He loves the neighbourhood
Daddy issues by the neighbourhood yessir
He can play the guitar. his voice is okay, he’s not bad, he can sing and its really nice but its not the prettiest out of all the genshin boys
he loves serenading people and it just works bro, he knows exactly how to make people fall for him
diluc:
a lot of ppl say he would listen to like emo music or something but he listens to classical music
i mean he's a nobleman after all
he grew up learning the piano so he fell in love with classical music at a young age
unlike kaeya, he doesnt serenade people, instead you can find him playing piano at midnight, very captivating (i think i said this in a previous post lol)
hates it when kaeya gets control over the music
definitely the "pop music is so annoying and meaningless" bitch
venti:
nicki Minaj
I dont know why but nicki Minaj
Maybe doja cat too ngl
tbh venti just loves every genre of music
but he really loves everything the nameless bard has ever sung to him - whether it was an original song or not
Learnt every instrument just so he could play the nameless bard’s music wherever he went - venti loves him and his music very much
albedo:
Something magical
ghibli soundtracks maybe?
he likes merry-go-round from howls moving castle that's for sure
maybe chill vibey music
Luke chiang, maybe?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he could play the piano too but violin me thinks… or maybe viola just to prove how much better he is at music theory oooh so fancy he can read alto clef even though violas suck
Only sings lullabies to klee, doesnt sing otherwise, but he has a very calming and pretty singing voice, everyone wishes he sang more (khoi dao singing :,) )
bennett:
number one victory royale- no jk he doesn't listen to that shit unironically
bennett likes Wilbur Soot
really likes your new boyfriend
but other than that he really likes music with deep lyrics, he likes meaningful things
he also really likes singing, he's not that great at it but he loves it and he wants to get better at it
would probably be a band kid, probably plays the trumpet or something
razor:
razor doesn't really understand music
he doesn't have a favourite genre or artist or song
but he really likes bennett's singing
even if bennett thinks he's bad, razor likes listening to him sing, he thinks bennett is the best singer in all of teyvet
he doesn't know this wilbur soot guy, he thinks those are bennett’s songs and that bennett wrote im in love with an egirl about fischl and doesn’t know how to feel about that
Razor cant play any instruments but if he did maybe drums??? Hm… 
xingqiu:
everyone thinks he likes classical music - which he does, its just not his favourite
he listens to cavetown me thinks
like i think he listens to cavetown if you get what im saying
Sings lemon boy to chongyun even if he isnt a good singer
He plays the flute, not the best, he’s still learning
his older brother plays the violin and they often argue about which is the better/worse instrument
chongyun:
rnb? I get an rnb vibe from him
maybe krnb? like junny and crush
Chongyun is very swaggy imo so i feel like he’d like swaggy chill music therefore krnb
Not the biggest fan of cavetown but if xingqiu is listening to this is home then chongyun knows he has to be there to comfort him and sits through the song anyways 
Chongyun doesnt play any instruments, he sings all the time without realizing it though
he has a very nice voice and xingqiu always tells him this but he doesnt believe this (kinsens singing voice ;-;)
zhongli:
yet another classical music enjoyer
doesnt really mind other genres but he doesnt really like rap
also really likes old rock
journey, the Beatles, queen, he loves it all
but his favourite song is the song guizhong sings to the glaze lilies, nothing can replace that
Cant sing for shit, which is why he cant pick glaze lilies himself
Cant play any instruments either, playing music was always guizhong’s thing, not really his so he never bothered learning
childe:
pop music, whatever’s on the radio im sorry white boy
but also… hayloft? I feel like he would listen to hayloft but the question is would he listen to hayloft?
Surprisingly listens to rich brian bc he heard scaramouche listening once and loved it
Can sing, like he gets the notes right and stuff, nobody wants to hear it though (im so sorry griffin burns)
But sometimes he sings lullabies to tonia, anton, and teucer and :,)
Knows a little bit of piano - he had to teach tonia a bit back home bc they couldnt afford a piano teacher for her until he became a harbinger
xiao:
my chemical romance- nah I'm just joking he likes calming music, mcr and music like that would actually get on his nerves
he likes whatever venti plays
which makes him another big fan of the nameless bard - he doesnt know the songs aren’t venti’s though
JOJI
I think he likes joji, slow dancing in the dark and like you do are his favourites
Agoraphobic by corpse husband
Wishes he knew more about music but whenever venti offers to teach him he gets all “an adeptus doesn’t need to know such things”
He only sings to venti and the traveler whenever he thinks they’re asleep or sings them to sleep but he has sUCH A NICE VOICE (orz kinsen) - traveler and venti team up to get him to sing more
scaramouche:
CHOKE ME LIKE YOU HATE ME BUT YOU LOVE ME
Corpse husband.
literally just loud music with heavy bass I can see scaramouche listening to that
blasts that shit at the zapolyarny palace so that everyone knows he's there
signora hates it - childe, not so much but finds it a bit annoying sometimes
This man cant sing, he refuses to and he refuses to play an instrument
NO WAIT HE LIKES TAKAYAN
Cheating is a crime by takayan is his anthem
aether:
He likes whatever reminds him most of home, whatever makes him nostalgic
butterfly by bts
Youth by troye sivan
how to save a life by the fray
Mr loverman by ricky montgomery?
yeah sad music, he doesn't know where his sister is, he wants to go home, of course he'd be sad
Aether likes troye sivan, he gives me that vibe
Ukulele boy aether :o
He used to play the ukulele and sing with lumine (luyin kana’s voice :”) )
abyss prince aether tho hmmm… might be a different story, i feel like he wouldnt be a ukulele boy but he would still listen to sad music me thinks
dainsleif:
He doesn’t listen to music
Knows about music, but doesn’t listen to it
They say long ago he used to sing a lot, rumour has it he was one of the best singers in Khaenri'ah, he doesnt sing anymore
Hears aether singing and gets sad about lumine (or vice versa)

MILKY WAY for yotaro!!!! [is died] also megaphone 📢 for natsumi and alexandra?? 😳😳😳😳😳😳🥺
HEYYYYY sorry i'm like 2 days late I had little energy to write 20 paragraphs but I DO NOW.... prepare urself
🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?
OOOOHHJHJ good question. I'm gonna try to be relatively brief bc I was a baby at the time (like 10-11. maybe 12? good few years ago) and some of it is rlly embarrassing/i'm not proud of it :sob:
Okay so!! The origin for Yotaro even existing is because of this pet website I used to be on called Pony Island-- I used to be obsessed with it and I gave the ponies I adopted "lore". anyways I got a pony from like the Pony Market and was like "OOOH i will base their lore off wolf in sheep's clothing" and initially my idea was to name them something relating to that however I was an idiot child and it didn't go that way at all and anyways I like the name Yotaro enough to keep it now. I mean, I got lucky and it didn't end up being anything BAD which is great but. still kinda embarrassing
anyways, shocker (/j /s) but the first thing I decided about them was that they're a manipulative... wolf in sheep's clothing VBRGYHFDBDUHD LIKE THE TITLE OF THE SONG BY HIT BAND SET IT OFF anyways yeah. they used to be a completely unfeeling cold and ruthless power-hungry bastard who only cared about themself and liked treating others like dolls. anyways I didn't ever really expect them to be much more than a pony island character but then i made them a human design and then i thought "oh haha it would be so funny if them and Alexandra met" and i liked that so much that they managed to sneak their way into her story and uh Yeah. also originally Laila and Yotaro were Not siblings! the funny thing is Laila and Alexandra used to be a ship and then I thought "oh fuck but what if Alexandra and YOTARO...... :0" and in my head i was like FREAKING OUT like oh my god who do i pick. pretty sure it's obvious who won the ship war LMAO. then as i developed them more i went "... what if i made them Relatable" so now they're still a power-hungry bastard but their desire for power is not because they wanna rule over others but because they don't ever want to get hurt again. They still manipulate others but they don't know it's wrong to do so, they're very much under the impression that they have to do that to get by otherwise people will use THEM and they'll get thrown to the wolves. They don't even feel like a real person, just some sort of hollow husk who can only feel rage and bitterness. Also they have adhd LOL they also definitely have Other Things going on but i have to do a think bc a lot of the identity issues stuff is stuff I have and i don't even know what causes that LMAO
📣 MEGAPHONE - how loud are they? what do they speak like? got a voice claim?
UM UM UM I've never had a voice claim for Alexandra ;w; i got close with a song but APPARENTLY it was used for. Big Mouth. so. NO!!! i have never watched big mouth and never plan to it looks horrible anyways i'm sad cus i loved the song for her but eh who give a shit /lh anyways i always imagined Alexandra would speak in a relatively deadpan tone, not just bc she's autistic ofc (tho honestly same Alex we r rlly vibin) and she's ALWAYS been intended to have a deeper, more neutral leaning voice but still feminine. yeah. cannot imagine her with a high pitched voice lmao. She's not the loudest person but she definitely speaks clearly and yeah. As for Natsumi, she's more on the louder side, her voice would be kinda in the middle of "deep" and "light", not super light but def not as deep as Alexandra's-- her voice is also more fem, though she's done a lot of vocal training to get it like that (because transfem) and yeah. she's definitely not a very quiet person, she likes being Known yunno.

In terms of mobile gaming i can easily say it’s worth it to keep neko atsume and the ace attorney games; might give pkmn masters a go but i’m waffling on pgr because, while the combat is fun, adding controller support is confusing, the gacha rates are not great (though i did manage three new characters), and the backgrounds are kinda barebones. The daily rewards are generous, at least, and they need to be considering upgrade requirements. Tears of Themis is fun but clearly meant to be played on a phone since tablet support is not optimised for that kind of screen.
Starlight Revue was a massive disappointment, despite its very generous gacha for beginners (got a few high star stuff just for starting the game), good live2d animation, and full voice acting. That wasn’t enough to save it from (imho) its confusing ui, layout, character skill panels, and boring battle system. Worse, players who want free 10x rolls can do so easily…by watching ads. Immediate nope from me and what cemented my decision to delete the app. Just stick with the og anime.
In better news, omnyoji is so far an unexpected delight, with gorgeous character, asset and bg art style, solid voice acting, and some of the most beautiful animation for a 2.5d game i’ve ever seen; the opening film alone sold me on it. The gacha isn’t amazing but it’s not bad and character upgrades are easy to understand—my only gripe is the inconsistent text localisation (I chose Spanish text but the game still gives me a lot of infoboxes only in English!) and the disorganised character collection menu. Otherwise, I really recommend it.
And genshin, to my surprise, is pretty worth it. Sure, roll rates are absolute garbage, but the exploration alone makes up for lack of character access; there’s a lot to keep you occupied and a lot of materials to harvest, even if many enemy battles get repetitive fast. Challenges and events are also quite fun, and the lore is actually genuinely very interesting. Non Chinese or Jpn voice acting is all over the place though in quality, and the Eng fandom one of the worst ones I’ve ever seen. Am definitely not getting into idolish or any other boy band rhythm game because their fanbases are also unwelcoming, but mostly because those fanbases have a high proportion of very online 14 year olds 😒
Rip to dragalia tho. That p5 collab was the death knell and now Im hoping feh stays far away from atlus

Heyy. I love your Autumn Drarry Drabbles.. And you, my friend, are a great writer! Never let anyone tell you otherwise. I saw this prompt 👉: “You’d be a lot more intimidating if you weren’t dressed like that.” and was wondering if you could do a fluff/smut kinda Drabble. It's ok if you don't wanna tho, I completely understand. I guess that's it... so Bye and keep writing..
Tumblr media
That Touch of Pink
Explicit Rating
* * *
Harry orders the next round from the Dracula behind the bar and props himself up next to Ron to wait, surveying the costumed crowd from under the sailor hat tilted jauntily on his head.
On stage, The Golden Snitches, dressed like the Hex Girls, rock the pub. Ginny wails into the microphone, and Pansy leans against her, working her fingers over the guitar, their magic sparkling around them. Harry’s magic buzzes excitedly with them. It’s a perfect Halloween night, a night for losing yourself in the anonymity of a costume…
And in the touch of a stranger.  
“Sexy nurse, 4 o’clock,” Ron mutters into his drink, adjusting his cowboy hat. 
Harry had already clocked the nurse and while she’s very appealing, the bloke wearing a tophat, booty shorts and tails with no shirt may be the frontrunner for the evening. 
“Me thinks Tophat and Tails over there,” Harry says, indicating the bloke across the pub with a lift of his chin.
The bloke winks and Harry chuckles, sliding his gaze away. 
The evening is young, there’s time to play.
“Brilliant.” Ron grins. “Besides, I’m the cowboy in need of some medical attention tonight.” He wiggles his brows beneath his Stetson. 
They clink together their beer bottles, and Harry nods his head to the beat that Luna taps out on the drums, letting his attention be captured by the pub door opening.
And his jaw drops.
The bar, the band, the people all fade away and the only thing filling his vision, his mind and, if he’s honest, his cock, is Draco fucking Malfoy in head-to-toe pink — pink bodysuit, long pink tail, little pink ears peeking out of pink hair, for fuck’s sake.
Malfoy pauses at the entrance resting his hand on his canted hip for dramatic effect, the beautiful bastard, though he needn’t have bothered. Harry can’t believe he had the bollocks to show up dressed like that. His eyes trail down Malfoy’s lean body on display, over a sharp collarbone, the swell of a bicep, firm nipples, taut abdomen…  
And speaking of bollocks… 
“Oh, bloody hell,” Ron says, dropping his head back and sighing at the ceiling. He glances at Harry and shakes his head. “Well, fuck. That takes care of that.”
“What?” Harry says, absently, eyes trained on Malfoy.
Ron snorts. “Exactly.”
Malfoy lifts a long cigarette holder to his lips and only starts his strut through the crowd when every eye is trained on him. And everyone is definitely looking, Harry notes. 
“Pfft,” Harry exhales through tight lips. “As if I care about Malfoy.”
And the feeling seems to be mutual. Malfoy pointedly ignores Harry, clearly not caring one whit about him, lavishing his smile on everyone, and especially the bloke in the tophat and tails. A growling twinge settles deep in Harry’s chest. 
“Mate,” Ron says. “You just growled.” He pours the remaining beer into his mouth and nods his head in Draco's direction. “I mean. He’s still a bloody prat but he looks… fucking good.”
Harry jerks his attention to Ron, and Ron raises his hands in surrender. “Just sayin’. You’d better go capture your boy.”
“He’s not my—”
Ron plunks the bottle down on the table and turns Harry to face him. He reaches up and runs his fingers through Harry’s hair, re-adjusting the sailor hat. Harry presses his mouth closed.
“How do you even?” Ron tugs a knot through his fingers. “Did you try the WWW hair potion I got for you? Of course, you didn’t.” He licks his thumb.
“What’re you—” Harry presses his mouth closed again as Ron swipes his thumb on Harry’s chin.
“What is this, toothy-paste?” Ron’s hands are back on his hips. “So. You’ll use the disgusting Muggle teeth goo Hermione gives you but not my hair goo? Honestly, Harry.”
“I like the minty taste!”
“Here.” Ron places two drinks in Harry’s hands. “Take a drink to your boy.”
“He’s not my—"
Across the pub, Tophat simpers at something Malfoy says and places his hands on Malfoy’s waist. Harry’s mind rolls over black, and he’s across the pub so fast it’s as if he Apparated.
Malfoy smirks as Harry approaches, cheekbones gleaming with pink glitter. “Hello, sailor.”
The bright glow from the stage lights renders Draco’s bodysuit nearly translucent, and up close Harry can make out that the rosy hue of Draco’s nipples matches his pink hair.  “Hi,” is all he can manage.
Malfoy takes one of the drinks from Harry and sips, ignoring Tophat, and Harry practically purrs with satisfaction. Malfoy sweeps his gaze down Harry’s body, lifting an eyebrow at Harry’s snug trousers. His attention shifts to Ron trotting up, spurs jangling. 
“A sailor and a cowboy,” Malfoy says. “Where’s the rest of the Village People?”
“And what the fuck are you supposed to be?” Ron says flatly. 
Tophat smiles at Malfoy adoringly. “The Pink Panther,” he sighs. 
Harry frowns, the growl rumbles, and Malfoy leans into him, a pleased smile on his lips. “You’d be a lot more intimidating if you weren’t dressed like that, you know.” His warm breath caresses Harry’s ear, sending shivers down Harry’s spine.
Harry stares into grey eyes, imploring and intent. “Why don’t you undress me and find out,” he says.
Harry has hardly the time to be shocked at his own boldness before Malfoy grabs his wrist and drags him through the crowd. Harry looks back over his shoulder. Tophat pouts petulantly, and Ron gives him a thumbs up.
* * *
Draco crowds Harry against the dressing room door, sucking his neck and grinding his erection against Harry’s hip.
“Tell me right fucking now, Potter,” Draco says, expression serious, “do you really like my costume?”
Harry laughs. “Fuck, yes,” he groans, sliding his hands over smooth fabric and lean muscle. He cups Draco’s arse and gives the pink tail a little tug. “And I like the bloke wearing it, too.”
Draco brushes Harry’s lips with his own. “Aw, that’s sweet. Now take off your trousers.”
Harry hastily shoves his trousers and pants to his thighs. Draco’s eyes darken, and he fondles Harry’s bollocks, sweeping his palm up the underside of Harry’s stiff cock. “Anchors aweigh,” he says approvingly. 
Harry's eyes roll closed and he bites his bottom lip against a whimper as Draco works him with slick fingers, tugging and caressing delicate skin, encouraging Harry to fuck into his fist with a firm hand to his hip. Harry buries his fingers in Draco’s hair and guides their lips together, panting into his mouth between kisses, warmth building, groin tightening. 
“You’re gorgeous,” Draco says softly, and Harry climaxes and spills over Draco’s fingers. 
Draco kisses Harry’s ear and whispers, “I wore this costume for you.”
Harry drops to his knees and gropes Draco’s arse, mouthing his erection, wetting the fabric with his tongue. 
“That’s sweet,” Harry smiles, “now take it off.”
* * *
Harry finds Ron and The Golden Snitches seated at the bar. Ron hands Harry a beer, his eyes wide and darting. Harry frowns at him and shrugs.
“You’re glowing,” Ginny observes, lips twitching. “Like you just ran a marathon.”
“Or had an orgasm,” Luna adds, smiling brightly.
Ron inhales his beer, sputtering, and Harry evades questioning looks by tipping his bottle to his lips. 
“What’s that on your fingers, pet?” Pansy smirks.
Harry stares at his pink-stained fingers.
Malfoy walks by, Pink Panther ears askew in his rumpled hair. He brushes his shoulder against Harry’s. “I’ll see you later, Potter.” 
Harry watches him go, tail swishing back and forth with the sway of his hips, two big pink handprints on his perfect arse. The dye at the back of his head, where Harry had buried his hands in Draco’s hair, is almost completely gone. 
Harry takes another swig of beer, cheeks warming with what he knows is a touch of pink.

Omg hey how are you doing? ❤️ I haven't been on here in ages. I miss the time around end 2019-maybe June 2020 because that was my prime time in the fandom. I wasn't a huge fan of the 25x25 project so I kinda lost interest in SnC and their friends (idk if they're even friends anymore nobody interacts with them from what I've seen). I took a break from this blog but now that they're back with the ghost stuff I'm interested again. I'm so glad they stopped filming with Jake and Corey, the girls bring such a great atmosphere to their content and they matured so much I very much appreciate it. I don't really keep up with everyone else I occasionally see a tiktok of Aryia on my fyp doing covers or promoting his song but otherwise I'm out of the loop. It's kinda sad how everything fell apart 😭💔
I'm currently debating of changing my blog here because even tho I like SnC it's not my prime interest atm. The thing for me I go through so many phases I feel like I can't be a blog soley for one thing. Like I was into Criminal Minds for months until the end of May. Now I'm obsessed with an Italian rock band called Måneskin, thanks to Eurovision (I highly suggest for everyone to check them out they're amazing 😭❤️ I even started to learn Italian lmaoo) So who knows what I'm into in the next months, I know I will lose my mind when the new Stranger Things season comes out later. I don't really know what I should do with this blog maybe I'll start out fresh.
Anyway I just wanted to check in bc I saw the threads from yesterday. I miss you guys, its such a shame that basically everyone left here 😭
Hey!! I'm good, how are you? God, I feel that "prime time" so bad. I didn't join until April 2020 I believe, but my prime was definitely like May through July/August. Personally, I enjoyed 25x25 when it first started but as they kind of moved away from what the point of the series was (like about the time they went to Vegas), I got less interested. But I'm really into the paranormal stuff they're doing again. I didn't realize how much I missed it until they brought it back. I'm also glad they stopped filming with Jake and Corey. I feel like if they had done that, it would've just been the same stale content that they were giving back in late 2019/early 2020. At first I was a bit hesitant about the girls since I know Kat always got easily freaked out during Sam's rituals (which is understandable! I'd do the same!) but I was worried it would be another Jake and Corey 2.0 kind of thing but just with her and Stas. But they've surprised me with how calm they've been, and I really enjoy them being in the videos. And oh my god I feel that. I'm constantly torn between wanting the "good old days" of when everyone was together, but I just keep reminding myself that the last couple of videos we got with most of the friend group together just didn't do it for me. Better to enjoy the past than to have a bad present, or something.
And you should def bring in some of your other interests! Lowkey, I would've abandoned this blog if I didn't start posting about the mcu/seb/chris. Remember, this is your safe space and you can do whatever you want with it! Honestly, the best thing you can do is just go multifandom. That way when you cycle through interests, you can just say "hey, I mean, this blog isn't dedicated to one thing anymore, and I can do whatever I want with it". And you'll be surprised by how many of your followers are also into your other interests! Like, I knew the MCU was a big fandom, but I was still shocked at how many of my mutuals were also into the same things as me. And I know of at least a couple who are into Stranger Things/Måneskin/Criminal Minds. And you'll get new followers too from those fandoms who are into those things! So go ahead and start posting for them! And, just speaking for myself, even if I'm not always into the same things as you, I still love seeing you on my dash!
Lmao, lowkey felt bad spamming with all of my bottled up feelings, but yesterday was just a big day for me finally opening up about things irl and I had to get some things off my chest over here too 😂 And I know, there are so many people who have left or just aren't as active anymore (and that's fine! they have their reasons!), but I also miss the way things used to be. Honestly, idk if I'll get to that level of connectedness that we were all at in 2020 again, even in my newer fandoms cause I just get scared I'll get attached and then they'll leave and I'll have to start all over again 😭
