✯FreshLove For The Fit✯
pt1 pt2
Summary: an influencer party takes a turn for Chris and Y/N
Warnings: sex with no condom, fingering, kissing
✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯
"I want to fuck you while you wear FreshLove."
This is the proposition that was made two weeks ago.
Y/N has been thinking about it since then. She usually doesn't do meet-ups or let random dudes have sex with her, but she was tempted to bend that rule for Chris.
Her favorite influencer wants to have sex with her? It's like her Wattpad dreams come true!
Not wanting to look too thirsty, she told him she would think about it.
She thought bout it when they got off the phone, she thought about it when they started texting, and she was thinking about it as she was getting ready for a party.
Her friend started talking to some influencer guy, and he invited them to a party so here they are. She's standing in the corner watching her friend dance on this guy, bored out of her mind.
The party is in full swing, but she's not really having a good time. Guys who recognize her keep flirting and she is aggressively turning them down, the drinks are shit, and it's hot.
With an annoyed face, she makes her way to the bathroom...or tried to, it took her like five minutes to actually find it. She slams the door and sighs out in frustration.
She wishes she was at home in her bed, possibly talking to Chris.
After 10 minutes of trying to let her frustration go, she exits the bathroom only to bump into someone. They spill their drink and Y/N wants to scream at the top of her lungs. "Watch where the fuck you're going!" she barks.
"Damn Y/N I'm sorry." She snaps her head up in shock hearing Chris's voice.
"Chris?" to say she's shocked is an understatement. She wasn't expecting to see him tonight.
"Y/N" He has a smirk on his face as he looks her up and down. She's dressed in a pink mesh dress that isn't modest at all.
Her boobs look amazing and he has a clear view of her pierced nipples.
He licks his lips and grabs her waist, pushing her back into the bathroom. He shuts the door and presses her against it. Y/N looks at him with wide eyes. "You look good, I love the dress." He allows his fingers to play with the thin material. "Thanks, you look good too."
That's a lie, Chris looked good as fuck.
Black cargos, black shirt, silver chain, and black air forces. Y/N was ready to drop to her knees.
"So why are you at an influencer party?" Chris asks letting her go. He backs up and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a vape. The only sound being the muffled version of some King Von song. Y/N stares at him silently before snapping out of it and speaking. " My friend dragged me here because she started talking to one of these lil ass boys. Now i'm stuck at this dumbass party when I could be at home." She wets a paper towel and begins to wipe at her exposed skin to get the liquid Chris spilled off.
"I'm assuming you aren't having a good time?" He hits his vape, watching as she wipes in between the valley of her boobs. "Definitely not, all these boys think because they dance with their shirts off on a app, and because I have a big dildo collection, I want to fuck them! shits aggravating!"
Chris can't help but make a comment. "I may be biased but I really like the pink sparkly dildo... The orange jelly one is a close second" Y/N stops what she's doing and gives him an amused look through the mirror. She goes back to wiping herself off and Chris can’t help but stare at her.
The dress she’s wearing is doing nothing to cover her up. The mesh material sits right under her ass and he can see the pink thong she’s wearing. The front of the dress shows off her boobs and her pierced belly button.
“If I knew you were going to be here I would have worn something else.” She flirts softly.
“Like what? Because this dress, if you could call it that, is perfect.”
She throws the napkin in the trash and turns to Chris.
“My pink Freshlove shirt.”
He takes a deep breath and stands up straight. She giggles seeing him get so worked up over simple words. "You think you're funny?"
"Hilarious actually." He rolls his eyes and walks towards her. Seeing him get close, she backs up a bit but runs into the door. He hums to himself as he grabs her waist.
"I won't lie, even though this dress is doing things to me, I think that pink shirt would have me bricked up."
"All I'm hearing is you're not bricked up right now." He moves closer, pressing himself against her so she can feel how hard he is. "No, i definitely am."
She looks down at their connected bodies, eyeing the evident boner. his hand moves in between them, trailing down to her belly button. He leans down and whispers in her ear, "I bet you're wet too." He reaches under the dress, snapping her pink thong against her waist. She sucks in a sharp breath at the action.
He fiddles with the material before letting his hand trail lower. He's going slow on purpose. Mainly because he's waiting for her to back out, but also for teasing purposes. She bucks against him, urging him to go ahead. He smiles and pushes her down against the counter, rubbing his bludge against her ass. "You gonna let me fuck you?"
"Ye-mm" Her eyes flutter shut when he pushes her thong to the side and shoves two fingers into her. She's moaning softly as he begins to thrust his fingers, wishing he would add more. Her eyes fly open when he removes them, "why did you-fuck!" she grips the faucet and the edge of the counter when he unexpectedly pushes himself into her.
He could bust right now. He's been thinking about what she would feel like, and she's just as he imagined.
Warm, soft, and made just for him.
He wastes no time and begins to aggressively plow his hips against her ass, watching as the soft brown skin ripples.
Y/N can't help but let out loud moans and whimpers. She didn't expect him to feel this good or this big. He's stretching her out just like her favorite dildo. He lifts her leg up onto the counter and immediately hits that special spot inside of her. She lets out a scream and Chris is quick to lean forward and cover her mouth. "You gotta be quiet, Do wanna get caught right?" He groans into her ear. She reaches behind and tries to slow him down but he swats her arm away. "Stop trying to run and answer me Ma, or I'm going to stop." She quickly nods her head and Chris removes his hand, returning them to her waist.
She does her best to stay quiet but it's hard when he's hitting her in all the right places. The only noises being the lewd squelches coming from their bodies, and the soft whines and pants. Chris looks down and groans seeing the white cream pooling at the base of his dick. He's never seen anything like it, he's only had sex with a couple of girls but he knows from this single experience, he only wants to have sex with Y/N from now on.
She feels a familiar hot sensation in her stomach and her eyes widen, "chr--nmph wait!" She tries to push him away once again, but he grabs both of her arms and holds them against her back. He drills into her even faster, her eyes rolling back. "You're close, I can feel you squeezing me, fuck, come on baby. Let go for me." She feels like the wind has been knocked out of her lungs, tears forming in her eyes as the pressure builds.
He can tell she's holding it in. He cant figure out why, but he's determined to make her reach her high. He snakes his hand around her waist and starts swiping over her clit. Her legs begin to shake and she lets out a loud moan mixed with a scream, her head dropping against the counter.
Chris watches in amazement as her juices splash on the counter, his pants, and onto the floor. He quickly pulls out and cums all over her ass, groaning as he watches her body convulse against the marble.
When she stops shaking, he grabs a napkin and wipes her ass off, wishing he could take a picture. "Are you good?" He asks softly. She has yet to get up and he gets concerned. "This is embarrassing." She mutters.
"What is? nothing about that is embarrassing." Did she regret what they just did? She slowly pushes herself up and looks in the mirror.
Her makeup is fucked.
Her eyeliner and mascara are running down her face, and her lashes are almost off.
"I didn't mean to squirt...."
It's clear she's embarrassed. She always knew she could squirt, she just hid it from everyone (everyone being her subs and the guys she has sex with.) "Why were you holding it back?" He begins to wipe his dick off and fix his pants. "Some guys find it gross so I never do it." She turns around and attempts to fix her makeup. it's beyond repair so she wipes it off using the remover on the counter.
"gross?" She throws the wipe in the trash and turns so she's looking at him once again, "Leave, I have to pee." He smirks and shakes his head. "literally just watched you squirt all over my dick, I don't care about hearing you pee."
She huffs and sits down on the toilet. She kicks her thongs off seeing that it's drenched in both of their fluids. Chris gets to work on cleaning up their mess, sneakily stealing her thong and shoving it in his pocket.
She finishes peeing and washing her hands, "put this on."Chris demands, slipping off his hoodie. She looks at the hoodie and gives him a look, "FreshLove, really?"
"You can give it back when I make you squirt again, but there's no point since I'm keeping your thong," he smirks as he opens the bathroom door. At the mention of her thong, she looks around the bathroom in confusion.
she looks back at Chris in just enough time to see the pink material hanging out of his pocket as he walks through the corridor.
"Fucking perv," she has a smile on her face as she slips on his hoodie.

A CRESCENT LOVE, AN EPHEMERAL PASSION | joão félix sequeira.
summary: you and joão spent all the summer together. you even met his friends and brother. could this be the beginning of a crescent love or just an ephemeral passion? his friendship with his ex would ruin everything between the two of you?
author's notes: after the win against luxemburgo, where portugal national team set the record of goals, his ex just posted "mysterious" pics with floki, his dog. joão was also there, almost hidden, actually. we all know she always does it, never assuming anything maturely, but instigating the frustration of the fans who care about him and to make every gossip website and tv show talk about it, just like a teenager who wants attention would act. basically, this inspired me. i really don't hate anyone, by the way. even thought influencers who don't spread any impactful content and nepobabies with no talent and only standard beauty annoys me, i can't lie.
warnings: bad language (of course it's joão saying the words), chaotically humorous almost all the time, but also involving sadness and angst. implicit sex reference, i guess? maybe?
Tumblr media
what do you feel when you hear my name? shame? embarrassment?
does your brain even bring you any sign or memory involving me?
do you ever think about me?
are your moments with her comparable to ours?
can we talk? can we communicate?
is it my fault? do you miss me?
your head was drunk for the whirlwinds of questions that piled up and get bigger, like waves. they seemed to be drowning you. the glowing light and peace of your woody brown gaze gives you triggers. his smile remains embedded, in your heart, an eternal home. the numbness and wrapping of his lips, every inch of his tanned skin and firm muscles being appreciated and admired by you. his hair was shiny, soft and full by the salty waters of the european beaches: always caressed for you. his laughs at you giving him the most silly and lazy hairstyles, with you pretending to be a professional who was filming your customer to tiktok.
“do that pose! yes, your hand against your face! now, give me that playboy eye. just like that! you’re doing amazing, sweetie!”
when you get carried away in the game ‘who am i?’ and tried so hard doing the mimes, jumping excitedly and demonstrating your animation in a loud tone, before covering your own mouth and feigning naturalness, just to repeat the same instant acts.
when you made joão watch your random dances as soon as you won at uno and he’d tell how hilarious you were. when you cooked your regional foods and desserts for félix, his brother who’s hugo, alex — the photographer — diogo from the movemind channel and all of his friends. when he used to hold your face, rest his touch on your waist and thighs. tracing his fingerprints across your scalp, reveling in the ethereal smell of your hair, laying his lips against your entire face and stature, exalting you completely: from your ears, neck, collarbone, belly, legs and even your feet. being a gentleman, joão opened the car door for you, he intertwined the hands of you both in every single opportunity and helped you eat: having the cutlery for you to open your mouth and giving you support with the napkin. when you did his goal celebration. when the two of you invented a handshake, along with various inside jokes. for example, when joão posted many videos of him swimming and playing in the ocean.
“hey, flounder! ‘the little mermaid’? i loved it!”
“why am i not your ariel, tho?”
“why you didn’t say you’d prefer to be eric of the real life?”
“give me some respect, i’m the protagonist of this shit!”
“slay, king!”
you remember singing the songs that played in his car in the most chaotic way, using his hand as a microphone and taking the opportunity to kiss all over it and his fancy bracelets. you offered him affection biting his skin and enjoyed acting like his personal masseuse. you called him ‘my prince of portugal’.
“please, don’t become a stranger.” your last words, face to face. the intensity of the summer weeks of vacation, which were already ending, consuming you.
“you know i’d never do that. look, you’re such a unique person, and even though we’re gonna go back to our busy routines, i still wanna keep you in my life. i still wanna be that close to you.” joão declared and they both found comfort in each other’s arms. his perfume granted the beg leave and penetrated your lungs, giving you life. you felt like you shouldn’t let it go, but there was nothing else to accomplish. you were single, so was he. you ask yourself if everything would be different. maybe if you had tried your lips once again: asking him to give a chance to them, to have more. to not leave what you went through, together, in the box of forgotten memories. would that really suffice, though?
"it's obvious that you’d choose the blonde influencer with light eyes, slender body and member of a rich family. the one who was with a formula 1 racer days before she went to meet you. before you just disappear from my life, without saying anything. the one that doesn't show an ounce of authenticity and, of course, affective responsibility. who am i in comparison to her?! right, joão?" your voice flashed the disparity of fragility and indignation, trembling hands clutching the phone.
“y/n, listen to me. you’d never understand it, okay? you’re not inside this relationship, me and her are. you’re seeing it from the outside, just like everyone else. yeah, she was hanging out and making out with other people. so was i with you. but then, some things changed.” john seemed to be busy. echoes of other people's voices ran through the call.
“nothing has happened between us since the vacation, joão. what doesn’t make sense because i thought you were liking me. i only think about you!” you vented out and received silence. his answers tried to become existent and complete. he stammered, the audible sound of his familiar backwards cap being pulled off and his honey-colored hair being rubbed against his own fingerprints.
“do you think i don’t like you? holy shit, y/n. i even thought we could have so much more. a future together and everything. i think about you and i swear in the name of my family, and i already said that they mean the fucking world to me. the thing is: there’s something that still keep me going back to her. i don’t know if it’s because i’m with her since i was younger, but…”
“joão, this is emotional dependence. i’m sorry to tell you this, however, it’s necessary. i care about you. you’re so internally and externally beautiful, precious, successful and talented. you deserve better!” you interrupted him, stepping back and forth.
“y/n, i love her. when i looked at you…”
“she’s all that you see, right?”
“hm… yeah…” félix found himself in a bind. paralyzed, he remained without an answer for a while. the coldness of the material of his gold necklace touches his tongue: a way to combat the nervousness that generates the gnawed nails.
“my toxic behavior wants to help and fix you so badly, but i know i can’t get more involved than that. i’m not the one for you.” the words reproduced by yourself reinforced the fragmentation of your heart.
“j, baby… are you coming or not? i’m waiting for you, floki is waiting for his dad!” you heard that female voice call to him and realized the way that just this factor made his breathing destabilize.
“i think this is officially the end of whatever we had, joão. goodbye!” your voice was unstable and he realized it: sharp as deep, transparent and suffocating waters.
“i wish you the best, y/n. i apologize for not being what you expected, what you needed, and…”
“caralho, joão! que merda! (holy fuck, joão! what the hell?). come on, give me your phone!” the girl began to rant. her heels against the floor were exclamatory. she was running out of patience.
the call is over. again, you were superimposed on the ocean of blazing tears. you tried to convince yourself that everything went the way it was supposed to be.
but was it for real?

Steve Harrington Tears the Munson Doctrine to Shreds
Peachesandpears
Eddie had always been more than happy with the quick and dirty of Indy. He’d always been content to get his rocks off with some guy with the mutual understanding that they’d never have to see each other again. It was the beautiful symbiotic relationship of two gay dudes who would forever be a stain on the collective American moral conscious. And he loved being a stain on moral consciouses.
But Steve fucking Harrington, the goddamn bastard, is making him yearn. Tore the Munson Doctrine to shreds, the sacrilegious asshole.

Thank Our Lucky Stars (That We Can Call This Ours)
steddieeddie
A lot has happened in Steve Harrington’s life, specifically in the last six years. Too much stuff for one person to deal with, and he’s held onto it for too long.
When Robin tells him that shaving his head will help him let go, because hair holds onto bad energy? Well, he’s willing to try anything.

A King and His Poet
steviewashere
Steve makes his way to a stack of notebooks. All piled precariously on Eddie's way too cramped desk. One has a large beer stain on the cover. Another is burned in the corner from a dropped joint most likely. There's one more with an ominous yellow stain, Steve doesn't touch that one.
But there's one that catches his eye.
It's a leather bound, small journal.

listen to the siren's song
atimelessfiction
Corroded Coffin plays at The Hideout every Tuesday, but Steve doesn’t go because of them. He doesn’t go because of Eddie Munson, whose fingers dance over the guitar strings with such a beautiful precision that Steve sometimes wonders if he made a deal with the devil.
No, Steve doesn’t go because of a band with stupid music and a stupid band member who has stupid hair and a stupid voice. Steve goes because his friends go. 
That's the only reason.

There Is A Pleasure In The Pathless Woods
crow_of_crimes (Theyna_Shipper)
Hey, um… Do you want to go for a hike?”
If you’d asked Steve what he’d expected when he opened his door at 9am on a Wednesday in March, it wouldn’t have been Eddie, hands in his pockets, chewing on his lower lip, asking that, but somehow it doesn’t phase him.
“Sorry, this is weird,” Eddie adds before Steve can respond. He’s doing that thing where he rocks back and forth on his heels and darts his eyes everywhere, refusing to choose a single spot, like a rodent scanning his surroundings for predators. He’s not sure he’s ever seen Eddie Munson stand completely still. “Shouldn’t have just… showed up like this.”
“It’s alright, man,” Steve says, truthfully. He doesn’t get a lot of visitors alone in his parents’ huge house, except Robin, and she can’t keep him company all the time, especially now that she has her own friends. Dammit.

Dancing King
Tumblr media
It’s the way I was so mad at myself for accidentally posting this when I meant to save it as a draft😭
Ofc I can do this for you bestie!!!! Hope you have an amazing birthday! And I usually do make these pretty personal so it’ll be tailored to you:) (which means that while I usually write the TLB boys to be turned in their 20s, David and Star will have been turned at 17 for the purpose of this fic)
David x Webs & Star x Webs (he/they pronouns used) @gothamslostboy
Tumblr media
You and your girlfriend were free spirits, the kind of people who could never sit still. Whenever a song came on, the two of you couldn’t help your feet from tapping and your bodies from swaying. You and Star could dance the entire night away.
The two of you frequented dance clubs, parties, beach bonfires, concerts, anywhere you could move your feet.
You always brought your boyfriend along too, there was just one problem.
David didn’t dance.
In all the time you’d been dating him, the most you’d get was a nod of his head or a small sway of his shoulders.
When you would grab Star’s hand and take the floor, David would give you a small wave from his place at the bar, watching, but never joining.
Your happy place may have been under a spotlight, his was on a barstool with a glass of whiskey.
You promised him it didn’t bother you, and for the most part that was true. You liked that David was a little different than you and Star, he grounded you.
But sometimes, you’d wonder what it would be like to see David let go and move to the music. You imagined taking his hand in yours, pressing your chest against his and swaying together.
But David didn’t dance so you were satisfied to keep that dream to yourself.
Tumblr media
You stumbled towards the entrance to the cave excitedly, almost tripping over you own feet in your rush to see your partners.
Your friends had done an amazing job at making you feel special all day, but the night was for Star and David. They’d promised you they’d put together a surprise you’d “absolutely love.”
“Don’t be nervous, it’s gonna mean so much to him, he’ll love it,” you heard Star’s reassuring words as you shimmied down the ladder.
“I’ll love what?” you asked as you strolled into the cave’s main alcove.
“Baby!” Star exclaimed as she ran up to engulf you in a tight hug. You laughed as you wrapped your arms around her and pulled her in close.
“Happy birthday handsome,” David said with a smirk as he came up behind the two of you.
“My turn?” he asked Star.
She sighed dramatically, rolling her eyes but smiling as she pulled away, “I guesssss.”
You pulled David into your chest and kissed his cheek.
“Hey!” Your head snapped to see Star with her hands on her hips, though a joking smile played on her lips, “I didn’t get a kiss!”
Your lips turned up into a bright smile, “I’ve got kisses for everyone,” you promised as you pressed your lips to her cheek.
When the kissing, blushing and giggling died down, you put your hands up “ok, ok, what’s this surprise I’ve been hearing about?”
Star turned to David, “you wanna tell them?”
David smiled softly, “you go ahead,” he said as he pulled an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her.
Star beamed before pulling three tickets out of the envelope. “Platinum ABBA is playing at the boardwalk tonight, and we’ve got tickets at the barricade!”
You gasped, Platinum ABBA was the best ABBA cover band. You were touched by their thoughtful gift, tears began to well in the corners of your eyes.
“Thank you both, I- I love it,” you gushed as you wrapped an arm around each of them and pulled them in for a hug.
“We knew you would,” Star smiled as she squeezed your side.
After awhile David pulled back, “alright alright, enough with the touchy feely stuff, we’ve gotta get going.”
You laughed and rolled your eyes as David ushered you both out of the cave. Your smile turned to a smirk when his hand slid into yours.
Tumblr media
Though your spots at the front were a little tight, the venue was big enough and Platinum ABBA was niche enough that you still had ample dancing room.
As the band began to play Chiquitita, you and Star swayed to the beat, twirling and twisting around. David watched the two of you laugh and swing with admiration. Though dancing wasn’t really his thing, he loved to see you happy.
Each song was the same, you and Star totally lost in the music, and David observing nearby.
Until the last song of the night.
A smile stretched across your face as you heard the familiar intro to Dancing Queen. Before you could take Star’s hands in yours, David offered you his.
You gasped as you looked up to see his flushed face. “May I uh,” he cleared his throat, “may I have this dance.”
Your heart melted. “Of course,” you told him as you laced your fingers with his. The two of you swayed somewhat awkwardly through the first verse, while Star clapped to the beat in encouragement.
When the chorus hit, all three of you clasped hands and spun around together, singing along to the words of the song.
You are the dancing “KING,” Star and David yelled with you over the sound of the music.
Young and free only seventeen
Dancing “KING,”
Feel the beat from the tambourine…
You heart felt full as you shouted the lyrics and swayed until your voice had evaporated and your feet felt as if they could fall right off.
When the concert ended, the three of you walked back to David’s bike.
“Thought you didn’t dance,” you teased.
David chuckled, “for you? I’d do anything.”
You couldn’t stop the smile that stretched across your face.
“So,” Star began, as she rested her head on your shoulder, “what do you think? Good birthday?”
You smirked, “I’m having the time of my life.”

HIIIII!!!! ur blog is amazing! I was wondering if i could request a ficlet about a modern reader showing the others their music (if u could do Ice Spice or Nicki Minaj, that would just be the cherry on top) BUT IF U CANT THATS OK!!!!! Stay safe and don't forget that ur loved!
This gives me the same vibes as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court which was my favorite movie as a kid lol.
Characters: The Chain x GN!Modern Reader
A/N+Warnings: N/A, safe for everyone. Written by Mishwanders - pls do not repost.
The moment the Chain learned about your phone, they were rather intrigued by the amount of things it could do (and could not do). Although cellular reception was not a thing in the wide open spaces of Hyrule field, you did however have the foresight of having a few songs downloaded on your playlist, so it wasn’t a problem when it came to entertaining yourself with some music when things were slow.
However, the Chain was rather surprised by how different music in your era was from theirs. Some of them they could follow, simple Melodie’s but others of which they were completely blown away by - the speed at which some of the artists sang, especially in rap, was one of the bigger surprises. However, Wind and Rulie did cover their ears from the piercing sounds found in dubstep and phonk - finding some of those to sound akin to banging pots and pans together in a cave (which Four seemed to be alright with for the most part).
Wars and Wild on one hand thought it would be a good strategy to use your little music box as a distraction in their next fight against the Shadow and his minions, but you counteracted that because you didn’t want the Shadow to get a hold of your phone, no matter how good or terrible his music taste may be.
Legend and Sky found your music to be a welcomed change of pace from having to pull out their own and if anything, they found it rather creative, spurring a bit of inspiration for the songs they liked to play - and dance to as well.
Granted, you didn’t know that Time could dance (or even Twilight for that matter - he was in two-step Heaven when Chris Stapleton came on), but by the power vested in Nicki Minaj, you could have sworn you saw a little shimmy happening in the old man’s shoulders, causing a chuckle to leave you at the sight of it.
It was even better when you heard him attempt to play one of her songs on his ocarina while you hummed to the tune of it.
Who knew the old man would be such a fan?

So I went to see the Mexican production of Anastasia and I have a lot of feelings and thoughts:
Like the tour and international productions, there's a cut from Learn to Do It, and Crossing a Bridge is replaced with Paris Holds the Key (Reprise)- which is a damn shame because if there ever was an Anya that could do justice to Crossing a Bridge that's Mariana Dávila (apparently, she has an almost three octave range? The fuck?!)
Javier Manente (Dmitry) is 1.86m (6'2'') and Mariana Dávila (Anya) is 1.56m (5'2'') which is just insane.
And so Javi honors the ancient Dima tradition of being more of a mover than a dancer, way too tall, handsome and with the voice of an angel 🥰
Mariana is a powerhouse - her voice is stunning and her rendition of In My Dreams will haunt me for months.
Christy and Derek's dynamic was very confrontational for Act 1, very movie Dimya, while Mariana and Javi are more of a hopeful/cynic vibe which also works very well.
Manuel Corta's Vlad is more of a tenor than a baritone so that makes some of the harmonies sound a little hollow but that's me nitpicking because his voice is lovely.
He is short, taller than Anya but shorter than Lily - which makes for a few comedic beats to hit harder, mainly choreography and the line "from the first moment I saw you, I knew I was beneath you".
Carlos Quezada's Gleb is probably the slimiest I've seen yet (Ramin, Max and Constantine). In the scene in his office, instead of grabbing Anya by the arm to stop her from leaving, he grabs her by the waist and talks into her hair?!?! It doesn't help that the translation of Still emphasizes how childlike and innocent Anya is (yikes 😬). The vibes are fatal attraction and the last confrontation feels very much like Anya would rather die than be Gleb's which is a different take for sure.
Even if I didn't love his take on the character, his voice was incredible, he played up the growl at the end of Still into an almost metal/rock thing that I loved
(I just found out that he previously played Scar in The Lion King and Javert in Les Mis which makes so much sense in retrospect)
All song translations are the same as the Madrid production, except for Journey to the Past where they use the translation from the movie (God I wish they had done that for Once Upon a December too)
In the almost kiss for In a Crowd of Thousands they got so close 👀 Christy and Derek left a little room for Jesus between them and usually grabbed each other by the forearms. My boy Javi went straight to cup Mariana's face and touch her hair while she touched his hands and tugged at his shirt!!! Real romantic stuff
Their voices sound so nice together (if you haven't heard their cover of Hadestown you should)
Lily was fucking incredible. The dance scenes! I always thought it was crazy that she had two consecutive dance heavy numbers and she delivered!!! Her singing was superb at all times.
The ballet number was so good!!! All the dancers got a big ovation
Experiencing Stay I Pray You live? I felt it inside my chest, I was so close to tears! (I missed Constantine's voice though 😩)
Irasema Terrazas as The Dowager was amazing, she has that old timey, 1940s starlet quality to her voice that is just mesmerizing.
The costumes are very pretty, lovely quality, and almost the same as Broadway's. If I remember correctly, the ones that were markedly different in terms of fabric were Lily's Neva dress and press dress, and Gleb's coat. The silhouettes are pretty much the same (though The Paris Holds the Key dress was very much a maxi skirt on Mariana 🤭)

A fair exchange – part seven
series masterlist ; part six ; epilogue
Part seven summary: Blacks besiege King's Landing.
Pairing: Aemond Targaryen x (F) Targaryen!reader
Warning: incest, CHARACTER DEATH.
This is not the true ending of The Dance of the Dragons, it's just a reinterpretation ⚠️
Author's note: ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE! this is my first time writing a fic in English, so beforehand, i'm sorry 👀
All the rights belong to the showrunners of HOTD and George R.R Martin, author of Fire and blood & Song of ice and fire series ‼️
Word count: 1530
Tumblr media
Velarys descended from the sky on Vaghnar's back in front of King's Landing entrance.
The siege of the capital was carried out by land, sea and air, cornering the Greens in the Red Keep. The armies of the Valley, The Reach, Dorne, and the soldiers sworn to the Targaryen Queen waited at the gates of the city while the fleet of the Velaryon waited in the bay. Queen Rhaenyra's war council had agreed that this was the best strategy to defeat the usurper who called himself king, Aegon, her half-brother.
Syrax, Caraxes, Vermax and the other dragons that the Blacks had been able to recruit flew over the city, Velarys could see their shadow covering houses and roads.
Spies loyal to her sister had confirmed that the Hightower dragons were in the royal pit, so it was Vaghnar and his rider's job to guard the entrance and prevent the beasts from leaving or the keepers from entering to the cave. Vaghnar was twice the size of the other beasts that fought in the Dance with Dragons (a name that many had begun to use to refer to the Targaryen civil war), second only to the legendary Vhagar.
Vaghnar's footsteps echoed from streets away and his footprints left craters in the ground from the force that the animal made when he walked. As he rounded corners his tail struck tall buildings and houses, people who were bold enough to step onto their balconies or peek through doorways were scared away by the roars of the colossal two-headed dragon.
When Vaghnar reached the dragon pit with Velarys on his back, the Targaryen princess swung herself from the saddle and was once again amazed at the power of her dragon: Vaghnar scaled the hard stone walls, his huge claws snagging into the walls of the pit with enough force to keep him and his rider suspended in the air.
He reached the top quickly and both heads roared in the direction of the royal fortress. The white-haired woman could see how panic grew in the city and how the guards began to leave the castle, dressing in their armor in the process, since it had barely dawned an hour ago, the Blacks had taken advantage of the darkness of the night to spend unnoticed and avoid the sentinels, taking the Greens totally by surprise.
The ships of the Velaryon were seen on the shore of Blackwater Bay preparing their catapults and readying their archers, the horses of their allies entered the city gates with banners flapping in the wind, and the dragons of the Blacks surrounded the Red Keep.
Surrender was Aegon's only way out, Velarys thought.
The Targaryen princess had to face soldiers who were either brave or foolish enough to go near the pit and run into Vaghnar. The beast saved her from several arrows directed at her just by lifting one of his thick wings, enraged spitting blue fire and burning the Hightower soldiers.
Perhaps a few hours had passed, she did not know for sure as she had lost track of time, but when she looked at the great castle she could see that the banners of Aegon II had fallen, in their place at the entrances and on each spire at the columns of the castle hung banners bearing the crest her sister had chosen: a quartered with the three-headed dragon of the Targaryens, the falcon of House Arryn, and the seahorse of House Velaryon.
That was her signal: they had taken the castle.
"Sōvegon, Vaghnar" Fly, Vaghnar, Velarys ordered.
The dragon spread its enormous wings and took flight.
When he was meters from the fortress, Vaghnar scrambled down and leaned down so that Velarys could dismount from his back.
The Hightower soldiers were kneeling in rows and their swords and armors are stacked in a corner at the foot of the stairs leading to the palace entrance.
Velarys looked up to see Aegon, who was kneeling at the entrance to the Red Keep with his head bowed and his hands behind his back, while the audience that watched him be crowned in that same city years before would watch him die.
The princess herself noticed the absence of the rest of his family.
"Where are Otto and Alicent?" she asked Jacaerys, who watched from a distance the orders that his mother gave to her soldiers.
"The cowards decided to spend the rest of their lives in prison" Daemon answered before his nephew could say anything.
It was either that or be burned alive by Syrax, his sister's dragon.
She thought in the sweet Helaena who had ended her life last year, the war had ravaged her, and her heart eched.
Rhaenyra approached her family with a serious expression on her face, her father's crown on her head, displaying an aura of superiority.
"What about Aemond?" Velarys asked with concern.
Ever since they had met on Claw Isle that afternoon when she had confronted him about Lucerys's death and told him of the loss of their son, each had returned to their respective sides not entirely sure that continuing this war was the best course of action. But the damage had already been done and everyone's fury had exploded. The best they could do was to intervene so that all of this did not explode in their faces, and it had not turned out that well, because the war had lasted longer than they expected and countless innocents had lost their lives.
"I will not be the one to decide his fate" Rhaenyra said looking at her.
Daemon looked at the sisters with indifference, because if it were up to him, Aemond would have died the moment the guards notified him of the discovery of Lucerys's body.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Velarys surprised.
"As much as I want to kill him with my own hands, I will not be the one to end his life. That would make you a widow" Rhaenyra said firmly.
"You put my husband's future entirely in my hands?"
The Targaryen Queen only nodded once, turned her back straight and walked up to her dragon.
As Velarys watched the execution of Aegon II, she pondered the fate of Aemond Targaryen.
○ ੭ 𓈒 ˙ 🐉🐉🐉 ˳ ⊹ ˚ 𝅄
Velarys entered the room where Queen Alicent had locked her in when her father had died. Aemond was leaning against the same window she had leaned against spending her days of mourning he daughter watching the banks of the Blackwater Bay.
The prince heard the footsteps of someone behind him and turned to see who had entered the room that he previously shared with his wife.
Velarys had taken off her armor and was wearing a simple black dress, it had no decorations or emblems, only silver buttons that contrasted with the dark fabric.
"Are you coming to take me to my execution?" Aemond asked, since from the window he could see how Rhaenyra cut off his brother's head for being a traitor.
"No" the white-haired woman said simply.
She approached her husband and handed him a neatly rolled scroll.
Aemond took it and unfolded the paper. Velarys watched as his eye read the delicate handwriting of the Queen's hand.
"That is...?" He asked when he finished reading.
"A pardon signed by the Queen herself"
Aemond's jaw dropped.
"But, I committed war crimes…" she cleared his throat. "And I killed her son. I deserve death."
Velarys played with the only ring that adorned her delicate middle finger, one of her mother's favorites and which she inherited when Aemma died, along with many other pieces of jewelry belonging to her personal collection.
"Maybe, it's your lucky day"
"I don't understand... she want to spare my life?"
Velarys guided her gaze from her silver ring to her surprised husband.
"You want it"
His wife smiled.
"All Rhaenyra asks is that you leave Westeros immediately. You will become an exile.
"She wants me to give up my titles." Aemond turned to look at the scroll.
"It is the only way that no heirs are left and try to take what belongs to her again"
"I will no longer be Aemond Targaryen"
Velarys shook his head.
"Just Aemond"
"And where will I go?" he rolled up the parchment again.
"We could go to Essos" Velarys suggested.
Aemond didn't believe his ears.
"Would you come with me?"
The princess shrugged.
"I have nothing left to do here... I just want to forget"
Velarys walked over to her husband, reached out her arms and wrapped him in a tight hug, her cheek against his beefy chest.
"Make me forget, Aemond" the princess whispered.
The prince rested his cheek on his beloved wife head and then left a long kiss.
"Maybe the Gods will finally let us live a happy life"
Velarys sighed and imagined what her life could be like from now on.

Do you see any commonalities between Harry and Louis' post show playlists? Would love to know your view.
Too much? Can I just go for both pre- and post-show playlists, because Harry's post-show ones have mainly been songs from bandmembers and location-specific ones.
The list of songs that have popped up on both their playlists or during shows this year is now 18 tracks long (including Can't Help Falling In Love that a couple sang in the crowd during Harry's which was definitely out of his hands lol but it is one of Harry's favorite songs and his response was amazing I couldn't not include that)
Shout-out to Mr Brightside.
Shout-out to I'm Coming Out, Staying Alive, and I Will Survive jfc.
Shout-out to DMAs - The Glow which was a massive inspiration for FITF, randomly popping up pre-show at the start of Harry's 2022 tour (once? Back in june in Manchester, as far as I know).
On a similar note, Louis had The Strokes - The Adults Are Talking as a post show song (Rio on may 27th - dressed in some bluegreen striped laurel hell sidenote it were the backpack style days idk either), the song besides Take On Me that As It Was has been heavily compared to.
When Harry's preshow had one too many songs from Louis' change over playlist. If you missed it, I believe it's a list of songs considered to be exit songs, and they kept deleting and adding songs as tour went on. Also the playlist went private for a while after the fandom discovered it, but not after adding a few songs and then Louis following jdelf on instagram that same day. The list of songs usd post-show is here - songs that were ever on the change over playlist here, post here, but basically:
Tumblr media
Thinking about that time I asked twitter whether they thought a screenshot of Louis' change over playlist was Harry's or Louis', and a lot of people thinking it was Harrys.
Tumblr media
Louis wore a shirt with names of songs that include "dancing" (Let's Dance, Dance the night away, Get Up and Dance, Loose yourself to Dance) at the time the preshow playlist of Harry's show did just that, including Everybody Dance, Let's Dance (album), Dancing in the Moonlight, Dancing on the Ceiling, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (they were all played within 1 hr window). here.
They have both played their own X-factor audition songs. Harry also played Rebecca Fergusons audition song - the one that ended up on One Directions youtube and brought along a lot of theories yk that one (Womack & Womack - Teardrops)
They both play songs that are related to the location they're at, most obviously the the Theme From New York, New York in New York, but also songs from artists from that country, songs with a special history in that specific city, etc.
Returning artists with multiple songs across their shows include Amy Winehouse, Bill Withers, Bob Marley, David Bowie, Elton John, Kings Of Leon, Queen, Radiohead, Talking Heads, Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend.
They've both played a bunch of songs that they sang on stage in 1D days, obviously just One Direction songs but also songs they covered or just messed around with on stage I guess you can call it that (Louis').
This isn't a serious one but I did laugh my larrie ass off when after Harry's Amsterdam show we were met with Louis' Amsterdam post-show song call me a moldy dirtbag baby.
I think they both have used their preshows to in some way ease us into sounds of their new albums
And last but definitely not least: when Harry performed I Will Survive on the 22nd of April 2022, that same day, hours before, Louis' exit song said Disco Medley too with Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive, and after his show (on April 23rd European time - this to say was after his own show but it could've been before or after the Coachella show), I Will Survive was added to the playlist (+Play That Funky Music).

Hello. I shall thank you again for replying to my requests, which are really helpful. But there is a question that I would love to ask. Or maybe two
1. What are your personal favourite Arthuriana movies/series?
2. Which Arthuriana movies/series are the most accurate to the Legends?
3. Which ones shall I avoid? And why?
P. S. I have already watched:
Knights of the Round Table (1953) 9/10 (I loved Lancelot and Elaine together. He loved her, just not as much as he loved Guinevere... Arthur/Lancelot chemistry. Lancelot vs Mordred... Unexpected duel)
Lancelot du Lac (1974) 7/10 (I loved Gawain and the relationship with Lancelot)
Excalibur (1981) 10/10 (The movie is a gem. I wish we had more like this nowadays... The Lancelot redemption was amazing)
Cursed (2020) 6/10 (I only liked the Fae lore there)
BBC Merlin 8/10 (There were some wack moments. And Arthur wasn't really my jam. But the show is amazing)
hi! you’re welcome, i’m glad it was helpful. :^)
this is going to be a long multi-part answer, so i’ll throw it below a cut to avoid an obnoxious wall of text on the dash.
1. What are your personal favourite Arthuriana movies/series?
movies:
Knights of The Round Table (1953)
Sword of Lancelot (1963)
Camelot (1967)
Lancelot du Lac (1974)
Monty Python and The Holy Grail (1975)
Excalibur (1981) [review]
Merlin and The Sword (1985)
A Knight’s Tale (2001)
Tristan and Isolde (2006)
Kaamelott First Installment (2021)
The Green Knight (2021)
shows:
The Adventures of Sir Lancelot (1956–1957)
BBC The Legend of King Arthur (1979)
Merlin (1998)
Starz Camelot (2011)
2. Which Arthuriana movies/series are the most accurate to the Legends?
finding an “accurate” arthurian adaptation or retelling is an exercise in futility. no iteration exists without its own unique interpretation, including the medieval texts. gawain is obscenely inconsistent, so determining what constitutes an “accurate” characterization of him is literally impossible. the same can be said for every aspect of the legends. each author does their own thing! the other problem is that even if what’s there is reminiscent of the stories it references, something is inevitably missing. most of the time it’s gaheris. (okay, it’s always gaheris.) more often than not, the entire prose tristan cast gets cut. occasionally, one of the lads will show up on his own completely disconnected from the original lore… (palamedes in the black knight (1954), lamorak in sword of lancelot (1963) and again in kaamelott the first installment (2021), dinadan in camelot (1967), and tristan in king arthur (2004)) but i digress. if you’re looking for something that covers the majority of the story from arthur’s conception to his death, the choices are minimal.
BBC The Legend of King Arthur (1979)
Excalibur (1981)
3. Which ones shall I avoid? And why?
movies:
The Black Knight (1954): orientalist, black face palamedes. enough said.
Sword of The Valiant (1984): a remake of gawain and the green knight (1973) with worse everything from casting to costuming to pacing. tall, jacked gawain isn’t real and can’t hurt me.
Guinevere (1994): if i was persia woolley and they showed me this movie calling it an adaptation of my books, i’d maul them.
First Knight (1995): so ick it’s funny. wow this lancelot sucks. american accent, insufferable, entitled, gives face-hugger kisses? convoluted scenarios presented as romantic. lame costuming. questionable age gap between arthur/guin. he knew her as a child????? girl run.
Quest For Camelot (1998): rip author vera chapman, fortunate enough to pass before witnessing this abominable adaptation. why americanize the names lynette and gareth? why the hideous animation? the shabby song and dance numbers? the books are dark let’s make a kids musical out of it!
King Arthur: Legend of The Sword (2017): weaksauce attempt to cash in on existing audience. discombobulated the lore until unrecognizable. two women are fridged in the first half hour. strangely edited. nobody is likable. overall cringe.
shows:
King Arthur and The Knights of Justice (1992): nothing of substance here, typical 90s cartoon existing to sell toys.
The Mists of Avalon (2001): i’ll never support anything related to author marion zimmer bradley. she’s dead, let’s kill her legacy too.
Merlin’s Apprentice (2006): not sure what happened here but this sequel to the 1998 original is the biggest downgrade ever.
The Seven Deadly Sins (2014–present): every pitfall an anime can have, this one has in spades. beyond the bastardization of arthurian lore, it’s hard to follow chronologically bc the seasons are named not numbered, full of shameless fan service, lolis, a drop in budget resulted in ugly cgi animation.
Netflix Cursed (2020): take a shot every time a nicknamed character is revealed to be loosely arthurian. no don’t you’ll get alcohol poisoning. did netflix do it? did they solve misogyny by putting a sword in a girl’s hand? this was so disappointing it offended me.
anyway if there’s something i didn’t mention here then it’s mid. bbc merlin isn’t really my thing but it’s fun! transformers feels so far removed from actual arthuriana it’s not worth discussion, unlike some others that are trying really hard and suck so much. stuff like that. hope this gives you some things to check out next!

Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Celebration (Live in New York, NY) 2001 Pop / R&B / Soul / Adult Contemporary
Been posting about the Queen of Pop over the past few days, but now it's come time for some posts about the King of Pop too. And today we have an incredible, star-studded concert from 2001 that celebrated the inimitable career of the single greatest entertainer that the world has ever known, Michael Jackson, with this commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the release of his debut single as a solo artist.
But first, some crazy background about this legendary show: originally, it had been planned as just a one-night-only affair, and was set to take place on September 7, 2001, at Madison Square Garden; but demand had become so high, that just a couple days beforehand, a second date of September 10, 2001 was added as well. And the day after that second show, Michael was actually scheduled to go to the World Trade Center for a meeting, in order to return a watch that he had used, as well as a necklace that his best friend Elizabeth Taylor had worn for the occasions too. But thankfully, for his own sake, he overslept 😳.
Now, when I said that this was a star-studded event, I *really* meant it, because you'd be hard-pressed to find a concert lineup that's ever matched the magnitude of this one. In addition to a solo set from Michael himself, and another one with his brothers from the Jackson 5—who hadn't performed together in, like, two decades—there were also electrifying performances from a total who's who of the pop, soul, and R&B industries as a whole, from both past and present: Usher, Mýa, and Whitney Houston; Billy Gilman; Shaggy and Rikrok; Monica, Tamia, Mýa, Deborah Cox, and Rah Digga; Marc Anthony; Destiny's Child; Liza Minnelli; James Ingram and Gloria Estefan; 98 Degrees, Usher, and Luther Vandross; *NSYNC; and Slash. Either they covered one of Michael's songs, sang their own hits, or performed alongside him during his sets. 
And it's a very good thing that an agreement had been reached to set up two dates for the event too, because when it came time to assemble a TV broadcast, the best performances (and crowd reactions!) from each night could just be plucked and spliced together to form one whole, magnificent show for a national or international audience. Plus, according to some folks, Michael didn't seem to be fully there on the first night either, which people who claim to have been in the know chalk up to drug use, but he dismissed as only a lack of rehearsal and his own self-consciousness. Either way, on that original September 7th date, Michael didn't bring back his patented Moonwalk for very long, but on September 10th, during his performance of "Billie Jean," he managed to fully dazzle with his repertoire of slinky, physics-defying dance moves like he was back at the famed Motown 25th anniversary show where he had originally unveiled the Moonwalk in the first place. And naturally, that 9/10 performance of the song was the one that was chosen to be included in this amazing recording here!
So, such a wonderful time capsule of 2001 in this momentous concert that took place *quite literally* just before one of the most consequential events in world history. A pair of spectacular, unforgettable New York nights, followed by one horrific, unforgettable New York day. 
More fun videos here.

Okay since I mentioned it before…All the boys would have an amazing villain song.
Chucky’s would be very hardcore. Think of Lullaby from the Lion king two mixed with metal. That’s the vibe his song would be. Chucky’s got a good voice if he tries. There’s also a cover by Jonathan Young of the Bells of Notre Dame that would be similar to Chucky’s whole vibe
Slappy’s more the show man type you bet he’ll have a dance number while this dude is singing. And he’s got quite the voice.
Jig’s would be similar to hell fire in terms of the type of music no way would he sing about such content. But yeah Jig will nail it without even trying.
Billy he would have an entire musics number, dancing is a must. His would be upbeat with sinister lyrics if he allows the darker side of him to show. Or if he goes full on villain it’s gonna get dark, and Billy’s one helluva singer man can hit those high notes.

Winx Musical Casting - The Specialists and Stella Edit
This is a part 2 of this post:
ITS TIME FOR THE BOIS LETS GO
First up, here's a slight edit for the Stella casting. I had Stephanie Styles as Stella. Recently, I had an idea of who would fit better.
Bonnie Miligan.
oh im sorry its TONY AWARD WINNER BONNIE MILLIGAN
Tumblr media
This. woman. is. a. POWERHOUSE? Not only does she have AMAZING VOCALS, but shes an amazing actress with spectacular comedic timing and is just an amazing performer. Her credits include Pamela in the Original Broadway Cast of Head Over Heels, and Debra in the Tony Award Winning Musical, Kimberly Akimbo. Pamela already gives Stella energy so I think she would steal the show as our favorite ray of chaotic sunshine.
Examples:
youtube
youtube
these 2 songs ARE JUST STELLA OMG
Now onto the boys...
Sky: James Tolbert
Tumblr media
This man is OOZING with charisma. He's mostly known for working with team Starkid as a choreographer for A Very Potter Sequel, Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier, The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, Black Friday, and VHS Christmas Carol Live. His onstage credits include Snigglotts,/Vice President Bob Morris/Xander Lee/Ensemble in Black Friday, Blinky/Snigglotts/Ensemble in Nightmare Time, and The Ghost of Christmas Present in A VHS Christmas Carol Live. I think he could add way more charisma and character to the Wonder bread man that is Prince Sky of Eraklyon.
youtube
youtube
Brandon: Milo Manheim
Tumblr media
Now, I don't know if Milo has done any theatre BUT his credits do have him all the musical theatre skills (singing, dancing, acting, etc). He's mostly known for playing Zed Necrodopolis in the DCOM musical trilogy, Zombies. He also placed 2nd on Dancing With the Stars in 2018. From the videos I've seen of him, he seems to have the right kind of vibes for our favorite himbo squire.
youtube
Helia: Dean John-Wilson
Tumblr media
His credits include the title role in Aladdin at the Prince Edward Theatre in the West End, Lun Tha in the West End revival of The King and I, and, most recently, L in the English Premiere of Death Note the Musical in London. His voice is amazing and he really gets into his character's heads. The most recent example being L.
youtube
Timmy: Matt Doyle
Tumblr media
This man has played a vast amount of roles. His credits include Hanschen in Spring Awakening, Elder Price in the Book of Mormon, and Seymour in the Off-Broadway production of Company. But, he's mostly well known for playing Jaimie in the Tony winning revival of Company, WHICH HE WON A TONY FOR! I think he could definitely bring the nerdy and helpful energy to bring Timmy to life on stage.
youtube
Riven: Gus Halper
Tumblr media
What really sold me on him was his credit that that he's most well known for playing, Mischa Bachinsky in Ride the Cyclone. I feel like the character's two songs are both sides to Riven. He could bring the misunderstood bad boy energy while also getting vulnerable and emotional at moments.
youtube
youtube
Nabu: Michal Maliakel
Tumblr media
Currently, he's playing the lead role in Aladdin on Broadway. In the past, his credits include Cover Raoul in the International Tour of the Phantom of the Opera, George Nowack in She Loves Me, and Artie Green in the Kennedy Center production of Sunset Boulevard. I personally saw him as Aladdin and he was amazing. I feel like there are some similarities between the two characters so, I think he could bring the energy of the specialist that deserved better, Nabu.

Amazing, Showstopping, Glamorous Blue Lock Headcanons That Are Definitely True Ego Told Me So #2
Whoops I tripped and fell into the Blue Lock Dub we're back at it again WHOOO!
Now with shippy bits because I can :P
Rin likes to say words of gratitude in English to his teammates because none of them speak/understand him. He'll say something like: "I appreciate you. Thank you for making my time here at Blue Lock that much more fulfilling." And Isagi will just be all: "What? Whatcha say?" He always bullshits them after though. "I said you suck." "OI-"
Nagi and Chigiri like to quote dumb memes/vines/tiktoks at the most inconvenient times. They mainly does it to annoy Barou; It drives the resident King up a wall when it's 2 am and all he hears is: "FrEsh LeMonAID, FrEShly Squeezed~" There had to be a "No memes" ban placed after Barou threatened to strangle Chigiri with his hairdryer and shove Nagi's phone up his-
Gagamaru and Raichi have an ongoing slap war. Whenever one passes the other they make it a point to cuff the back of that person's head and RUN. Currently Gagamaru's got the lead by height alone, but Raichi gets creative in his return smacks. Junichi doesn't participate; he's witnessed one too many beds breaking when Raichi's retreat plan flopped and Gagamaru attacked back.
Reo's entire playlist post Nagi's betrayal consisted of "Kill Bill" by SZA on repeat. One time Chigiri and Kunigami heard Reo crooning in the shower "I might kill my Nagi~ Where to hide the body?~"
Sae likes massages but refuses having his feet touched. A lot of people assume it's because he has a superstition about "Massaging them removes the luck within" (Shidou's BS), but really he's just stupidly ticklish there that even the attempt to grab them will make him giggle like a child. (And yes- Shidou knows abou this. Yes- he has walked out of a tickle fight with a broken nose because of it.)
Aryu despises spicy food. He can't take the heat and it makes him all sweaty. "So not glam" he whined after accidentally ordering too hot a bowl of ramen. He also hates milk- so it's a constant cycle of eating the spicy ramen as not to waste it, and then chugging milk to ease the burn, and then eating more spicy ramen to get the taste of milk out of his mouth, etc. etc.
Isagi was over the moon when he found out Chigiri's favorite song was "Blue Bird" by Ikimono Gakari. Then he felt beyond betrayed when said redhead told him he'd never seen an episode of Naruto in his life and heard the song on his sister's playlist one day; hence why he likes it.
Bachira cannot take compliments. He get's all flustered and shy when even the smallest praise is passed his way. "Bachira, you did amazing last game!" Cue our monster dribbler covering his face and waving off the kind words with a "Staaaaaap~" Isagi finds it absolutely adorable and constantly finds things to compliment him on just to make the usually whimsical player stammer and blush.
Isagi is the only person who's effectively made Rin laugh. It wasn't a big one; just a small puff after Isagi made an off-hand remark about Ego giving "Big cheese stick energy" Isagi holds onto that memory like a trophy, forever proud that he was the first to make Rin smile before the younger boy looked away and refused to meet his gaze.
Kunigami does the thing where he'll go: "Chigiri, look at me?" And when said redhead does, he'll gently take his chin and kiss him. It never fails to fluster his boyfriend, even when he's prepared for it.
Niko once wore his bangs pushed back from his face. Everyone lost their shit because they'd never seen his eyes before and thought he was another person. (Also might have made some people heart-squeeze because he's adorable??? Have you seen his eyes- they're so big and green HELLO???)
Barou knows the Nyan Nyan Dance from Macross Frontier, along with various other anime dances. His two younger sisters are obsessed with them and begged him to teach them any new ones they discover. He absolutely refuses to share this knowledge with anyone and if someone were to suspect it; he'd threaten to kill them.
Rin openly despises Danganronpa because everyone keeps saying he's the "Blue Lock Shuichi Saihara"; but secretly he's thrilled at the comparison because he rather enjoyed Danganronpa. (Maki was his favorite). If asked though he'll say it's dumb.
Tokimitsu gives fabulous hugs- you just have to occasionally reassure him he's doing fine else he panics thinking he's hugging too tight or too loose. He doesn't really talk much, but the gesture says everything in itself.

I actually mixed this prompt up with my kind of song fic thingies that I do! This is both based on the prompt asked for as well as the song "Nothing New" by Taylor Swift ft. Phoebe Bridgers.
Sorry if Asmo seems a lil OOC, I tried my best for something with hurt/comfort!! Hope you enjoy!
(not really proofread so sorry if some parts suck lmao)
"You're worthy of my love." Asmodeus x GN!Reader

What will become of me once I’ve lost my novelty?
When I lose your attention and someone else lights up the room?
Will you still want me when I’m nothing new?
Dating the Avatar of Lust could be painful at times when he was the absolute definition of perfect, the personification of lust, and one of the most beautiful beings in all three realms. Yet, here he was, standing at the future Demon Kings ball next to a measly human.
You had your unique talents, your connections, and your interests, and you weren’t just nothing. You were truly one of a kind. But in a room full of regal demons as you stood next to one of the most popular and well-known demons who is known for being beautiful? You felt… dull.
You were once this new, amazing sight to see. A human exchange student? Amazing! He needed to have you. At first, it was just for the arm candy to say that he was the one who captured the human's heart, as if he had any doubts, but now he had your heart because he truly wanted it. And you held his and he gave it to you freely.
But it’s been a while now. You aren’t the new human exchange student. You’re not the talk of the town anymore, you aren’t what people turn to when you walk into a room anymore, you aren’t what people gossip about, you aren’t that person anymore. You’re a regular. So why did you feel like you were losing everything?
You were a regular! You’re accepted here! You have a perfect handsome beautiful gorgeous demon boyfriend, and you’re accepted! So, why does it hurt?
Oh, yeah.
You’re human.
You won’t always have your novelty.
You don’t light up the room anymore.
When someone else lights up the room when you’re no longer new, what will happen to you?
Will everyone leave you behind when you’re nothing new?
“MC?”
“What?” You were snapped out of your trance while you stood at the drinks table at the ball. Suddenly you were grounded to where you were. Future Demon Kings ball. Got it. Drink in hand. Which one is this? Boyfriend on the dance floor. Oh, that’s right.
“Are you okay? You’ve been here for a while and,” He sniffed. “You reek of liquor.” 
“It’s just demonus, right?” You scoffed.
“It’s champagne, MC. You specifically requested it, remember?”
“Oh,” That’s right. You did. You were anticipating this moment.
“What’s wrong?” It was less of a question and more of a demand.
“It’s nothing, Lucifer,” You passed a smile, turning to the table and pouring yourself another glass of champagne. “Have fun danc-”
One misstep causes you to trip on your own two feet and fall flat on your ass, covering your attire in not only your glass of champagne but the entire bottle as well.
The sound of a thud and the loud shattering of glass shocks the entire ballroom. You hear gasps everywhere, the livelihood of the room becoming so much dimmer as everyone stared at the drunk old human in the corner of the room.
“MC-” Lucifer sighed, leaning down to help you up, but you just shook your head and rejected his hand. 
You pushed yourself up, turned around, and left the room. Where were you going? You weren’t exactly sure. But you didn’t exactly care either. The only place you knew how to get to by heart was the House of Lamentation so you supposed that was where you were going to allow your feet to take you.
The world around you was a buzz, nothing seemed important and nothing seemed to catch your attention. Like how you didn’t catch the attention of others. Your eyes began to blur and you felt yourself beginning to bottle up that familiar feeling of needing to cry, until you were taken by surprise by someone running up to you.
“Darling, wait!” The heavy breathing coming from the man next to you caught your attention away from your own bubble, and you were grounded when he immediately tackled you into a hug. “What are you doing? Where are you going? Why are you leaving without me? Are we going home? Why didn’t you tell me!” He rambled on and on.
You stayed silent.
“Why didn’t you ask me for help with your clothes? You know for a fact I’m an expert at getting any type of liquid out of clothing. Any type of liquid,” He giggled, trying to obviously crack a joke to see that beautiful shining smile of yours that he loved so much. But nothing.
“Mc, stop,” He took the initiative and grabbed your hand, stopping your movement and spinning your direction towards him. “Talk to me. You’ve seemed out of it all day but I’ve been letting you have your time. You didn’t want to talk about it and I was okay with that. But you can’t hold back from me now. Not anymore. What is going on.”
It wasn’t a question. No, this was Asmodeus, the Avatar of Lust, demanding your words. He was so worried. You knew he was.
“I’ve had too much to drink tonight,” Was all you could mutter out before you broke down crying. “How did I go from growing up to breaking down?”
“Darling, don’t cry,” He rushed up to place the palms of his hands on either side of your face to wipe away the tears that were quickly falling down your cheeks. “What happened, my love?” He whispered with nothing but concern, sincerity, and pure and undying love.
“What will happen to me when I’m nothing new? When someone else lights up the room? What will happen to me? Will you leave me?” You continued to sob. “Am I even worthy of you or your love? You are lust itself, you are blinding with beauty, you’re perfect and always the talk of the party, and I’m a decaying human who’s just around. I used to be so exciting, people used to stare at me entering the room, but now no one notices I’m even around. I’m nothing new. Will you leave me when someone new walks in?”
“MC, please,” His voice seemed to get much quieter and softer and his eyes sparkled while they stared into yours. You know what he’s doing. He’s using the magic he can to level your breathing. He’s done it before when you have had your breakdown moments in the past. You tell him not to because you feel like it’s wrong, but you also couldn’t be more thankful for him wanting to make sure you are physically capable of knowing your surroundings and listening to his words. “I do not care of your status, of your looks, of who looks at you and who doesn’t, because no matter where we are, you will always be shining the brightest to me. Not a day goes by that I haven’t seen you as the most marvelous sight I have ever laid my eyes on.”
You chuckled. “Second to you, of course.” You rolled your eyes, knowing his next words.
“No,” He denied you. “I always believed myself to be the most beautiful of all three realms, but every time I look at you I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not. That I’ll always be second to you.”
“You’re worthy of my love, MC,” Asmo leaned forward to rest his forehead against yours. You shut your eyes and just paid attention to the feeling of his eyelashes fluttering against yours. “You always have, and always will be. No matter what goes on in the world, you will always be the brightest person in every room. In every story. In every light. In every realm.”
“I love you, MC. And don’t you ever forget that.”

Wip game: The Lyrebird King 👀❕
ask me about my wips 🌸
aaaaa Dav bless you for this!!
so The Lyrebird King is my own original novel i'm working on and you can read the chapters i have finished so far here
it features Caius who was one of my D&D characters for an old campaign that actually helped me realize i'm genderfluid, so he's very near and dear to my heart. last year while working on the novel i had a gorgeous cover commissioned from the amazing artist Cameron McCafferty (who i originally saw during a fan art segment of Critical Role and decided to reach out to)
the novel takes a lot of inspiration from Fire Emblem: Three Houses (particularly Yuri of the Ashen Wolves,) Skyrim (Riften's Thieves Guild,) Dragon Age 2, and obviously Dungeons and Dragons. i've crafted my own little world with it's own Gods and religion (based around the Major Arcana in tarot.)
there's also a playlist for it here that helps me get in the mood to write them and sets a lot of the tone. (we have it all and dear wormwood are the perfect songs for the overall story, battle cry is aries' song, and dancing after death is caius'.)
the story features Caius and Aries, two societal outcases with secrets that run deeper than the Mariana trench. they begin a friends with benefits relationship while transforming a set of ancient ruins into a safe haven for those "othered" by society. Caius works to bring down the corrupt members of the upper echelon, spurred on by unknown motivations but with an obvious grudge bared. Aries is hopelessly loyal to Caius, wishing he could find a way to bridge the gap between friends with benefits into something more.
i don't have anything for chapter 4 just yet buuuutttt (and i've never done this before) i'll put some of my future notes below the read more (CONTAINS SOME HUGE ASS SPOILERS)
Caius' mother killed by the king's advisor
After finding her dead Caius stumbles home to Aries covered in blood ("is that all yours?! Caius why aren't you saying anything, what happened?") and for the first time he falls completely apart, wailing his grief and clinging to Aries for comfort
Aries holds him close "I've got you, I have you" and simply lets him cry and scream and process, but Caius changes after that, is cold and distant and terrifying in his determination. Aries swears he'll do anything to keep Caius from feeling this way ever again
Every time Caius spends a night or has a very intimate moment with Aries he taps over his chest, over his heart, 3 times before he leaves or goes to sleep
When Caius confesses he loves Aries, Aries says he knows and when Caius asks how he could possibly know that Aries says "you tell me every time you tap over my heart. I don't think you realized you were doing it, but you do it each time, carefully and thoughtfully, and that's how I know"
