[maladaptivewriting]

it’s important to me that everyone remember that regulus didn’t start the hunt for horcruxes, he obstructed it. he did nothing but make the actual search a lot fucking harder lmfaooo

#this is in response to those tiktoks that are like we need to finish what dumbledore started #and reggie is like dumbledore?? :( #yes dumbledore you little idiot #at least then dumbledore would have found it and harry wouldn’t have had to break into the ministry #i love reggie with my whole heart but let’s be real here #regulus black #horcrux hunting

Made with love (Alastor x Baker! reader)

Description: Y/N invite their boyfriend Alastor to bake, of course he’s takes his own twist

This is inspired of a TikTok by @matineaux

Thank you thank you thank you @witchywriter18 for the idea!!

Warning: tooth rot fluff, established relationship, Alastor being Alastor, mentions of murder and cannibalism, polar opposite pairing

⛧☾w༺♰༻☽⛧ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧ ⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧

No ones POV

Y/N and alastor had been going out for a little over a year. Y/N met Alastor after Charlie employed you as head chef claiming “the best way to the heart is through the stomach.”, even though their personal talent was baking she happily took the job. Cooking and baking food for their good exercises along with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most of the food request were normal…expect one.

Alastor was a cannibal, so they couldn’t blame him, they tired to do what they to make him his meals…but he seemed to always be appreciative of their efforts. Cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner, Y/N was nearly always in the kitchen, after a few weeks of getting to know Alastor, he seemed to always appear in the kitchen, starting conversations which Y/N happily did even sometimes helping them prepare food, everyone knew he had a soft spot for them, after the extermination and Alastors brush with dead, made them not realize they liked each other. They were complete polar opposite pairing but they loved each other’s.

Both had their own responsibilities to attend to put always made time for eachother, if it be Y/N sitting in this little radio tour while he on air or having a conversation while you cooked. But Y/N’s favorite was their baking sessions. Alastor knew they loved to bake so he happily help them. Today was one of those days.

Y/N invited Alastor to bake with them after his daily broadcast, they had to prepare vegetables for tonight dinner during his broadcast, so they sadly couldn’t join him, while Y/N was preparing the baking tools and the ingredients, they felt a new familiar presence in the room, they smile and turn to see Alastor nearly looming over then due to his sheer height. “Hello my dear!” Alastor said happily to them as he kissed the top of their head.

Y/N smile at the show of affection, which in private was more than around the others. Alastor lend down to Y/N’s eyes level and cocked his head to look at the tools and ingredients. “Now what are we making today?” He asked curiously.

Y/N smiled putting on an apron, “Nifty asked for “cute cookies”, so we’re making heart shaped cookies for her.” Alastor somehow was able to smile wider at your words, Nifty was an important person to Alastor. “Sounds delightful? Where do we start?” He asked happily. Y/N knew he knows, the helped them bake cookies before.

Alastor love to help with the little things, if it be mixing cookie batter. Today since the cookies were heart shaped, Alastor was of course helped were is was needed. Once the two big pieces of dough was flat. Y/N open their knife drawer handing this a small knife, “you can cut a heart shape right Alastor?” Y/N asked jokingly taking another identical knife for themselves. “Of course my dear, I am a cannibal after all!” Y/N laughed at this word as they started to cut out little hearts.

After a bit Y/N was finally done, they slowly pealed off the dough around the heart revealing about a dozen of cookie hearts. “Done!” Y/N said as they threw away the extra dough. “How’s its coming love?” Y/N asked Alastor as they walked over to him. “Just finished.” Alastor said without batting an eye as he removed the extra dough. As Y/N peaked over his arm to see…hearts, but not normal hearts, they were human hearts.

Y/N batted their eyes at it for a moment before looking and seeing Alastors eyes. “Thoughts?” Alastor asked smiling wide. Y/N looked at him for a moment before smiling warmly. “They’re perfect..they remind me of you.” They said with a small laugh as they moved the cookies onto a pan and into the oven.

After they were done and cooled down. Y/N walked out of the kitchen with a tray of cookies, Alastor following close behind. “Ohh niftyyy~” Y/N Sang out. Soon Nifty was rounding the corner fast. “AHH, YOU MADE THEM!” Nifty screaming as she ran up jumping for the tray. Y/N laughed as they got on one knee showing her the tray of cookies, they were a mix of normal hearts and human hearts shapes. Nifty looked at them for a moment blanco faced before giving me a sinister smile. “THERE PREFECT!!” She screamed as she snatched the stray running away.

Y/N stood to their feet watching her scurry away quick before turning to face him, “she seems to like them huh Al?” Y/N said with a smile. “Of course she does!,” Alastor said with a smile as he took their hand, giving in a small squeeze. “You made them with love..”

Gavi no cuddles prank, fluff and he’s but sad. and I need more pranks with him.

Seeking attention

This won't be a prank but Pablo will certainly crave some attention <3

Pablo's POV

I was sitting on the couch scrolling through some TikToks out of boredom since my girl has been glued to her lap top for the past hour.

Although she looked absolutely adorable whenever she is focused on the task like this, I couldn't help but feel needy for some of her attention right now.

"Amor?" I said but she was way too focused on reading words of the screen that she didn't reply until I repeated myself a little louder.

"Mhm?" she said still staring at the screen and I sighed loudly turning off my phone and moving to sit besides her on the couch.

"What are you doing mi nena??" I said while nuzzling my face into her neck making her move a little since she was very ticklish but I cared less if that meant she will give me some attention.

"I'm supposed to annotate this article before writing a reflection for a class..and it's so long" she answered and I noticed that this assignment was due in a few days so she was definitely overachieving right now. Perfect time to distract her and make her give me some attention finally!

"Mmm you smell so good.." I said scening the skin of her neck before leaving a few sloppy kisses that made her cheeks blush and her hand go to my hair.

"Thank you cariño..but..I have to finish this" those words making me groan before getting even closer putting my hand underneath her shirt touching her stomach while leaving open mouth kisses on her neck.

"That assignment isn't due in a few days hermosa..and..I want some attention now" I said waiting for her response while she still read words on the screen. Ugh! I really hated this lap top right now!

"Nena.." I said again this time trying to move my hand higher towards her chest but she pulled my hand out of her shirt making me groan in frustration.

"I'm half way through it Pablo..let me finish this first" she said while holding my hand and scrolling further down to continue reading that stupid article!

"But..it's been so long since we..you know?" I said making her blush more before finally looked at me with those beautiful eyes and raised eyebrows. Díos! She was breathtakingly beautiful!

"It's been two days Pablito.." she said making me smirk which made her blush even more and roll her eyes at me before continuing to read. Ugh! Pay me some attention!

"I miss kissing you...and touching you..and feeling your body on top of mine..please hermosa..just give me some attention now??" I said as one of my fingers twirled a strand of her hair playfully and I noticed her smile growing.

"You're such a baby sometimes Pablito..." she said closing her lap top finally before putting it on the table and turning towards me with a big smile.

"But I'm your baby, right?" I said pouting a little knowing that was a perfect way to make her heart jump and she smiled hugging me tightly while moving to straddle my lap and kiss my lips gently.

"Yes you are!" she said into the kiss and I smiled and I took her in my arms standing up and carrying her into out shared bedroom for some quality attention time ;)

Ik it's short but show it some love in the comments <33

happy 11 followers!! can i have a scenario where in the DOA there’s the reader making fucking tiktoks of the DOA, and the police are frustrated as hell cause they can’t track you down 😭😭

ABSOLUTELY.

i made this from the pov of the officers >:)

grammatically correct shit post

genre: silly, platonic yall are just besties <33

"Officer, they posted another one!"

The collective shuffling of papers was heard as everyone rushed toward the original announcer's destination.

"Where?! What is it?!"

They all gathered around, trying to see the computer the guy was sitting at.

nearly drowning sigma with nikolai challenge!! (gone wrong) (no sigmas were harmed in the making of this video)

"....what does this mean?" Asked one of the older officers.

"DOES THAT MATTER?! TRY TO TRACK THEM DOWN RIGHT NOW!!" Yelled the commander and the other officers got to work.

And yet, every time they tried to get the IP, Fyodor's mouse-like symbol appeared.

"Sir-"

"TRY ANOTHER VIDEO!!"

The man sighed and clicked on another.

me, nikolai and sigma question fyodors life decisions and almost get murdered!!

The officer watched a bit, hoping for some clues this time, but all he saw was this supposed "Nikolai" and the person holding the camera, yelling... some statement he couldn't remember, before running away giggling. The third person with two different hair colors was screaming in terror.

Ok, that's kinda funny.

However, before he could try to get information, he felt heavy breathing on his neck.

"Jared. Did you just laugh at one of their videos?"

"N-no sir-"

"You're fired, Jared. You don't understand how LONG I've been trying to get those FOOLS. You can't just laugh when we could be SO CLOSE TO FINALLY DISCOVERING WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE."

Jared's mouth was agape, but he knew there was no correct response to this. Maybe he could work at a car dealership or something.

He packed his things and walked out of there, finished with the frustrated screams of his co-workers in anger.

He was gonna get that job at Toyota.

-----------------------

BEFORE YOU ASK, YES, I AM BRINGING BACK JARED IN THE FUTURE. JUSTICE FOR JARED!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS!!! MY REQS ARE ALWAYS OPEN BUT MIGHT TAKE A BIT LONGER FOR ME TO FINISH DUE TO ME R E A L L Y NEEDING TO DO MY HOMEWORK 🥶!!

Hey Lovelies <3 I hope that however you celebrated today, (Valentine's Day, Captain Cook's Murder Day, Your Birthday, whatever it happened to be) that you got something positive and fun out of it. I know this day is a mixed bag for a lot of folks, so any way you are able to get something good out of it, I'm excited for. A little gentle reminder, something that took me a lot of years to realise -- you are enough, with or without a partner, I hope you know that. Your partner or lack of one doesn't define you. You are you and you are wonderful and you are enchanting. You could be in the perfect relationship and that other person(s) could bring out the best in you, and yet, the best in you is still you. You shine because you are a beautiful, unique little radiant ball of starstuff, and don't you ever forget it. You deserve just as much love as you give to others, no matter what anyone says, and you deserve to be happy and to be you, just the way you are. Now matter how you feel on any given day, no matter how much energy, or spoons, or love you have for yourself, you are doing enough, and you deserve all the wonderful things this world has to offer. I know I speak for all of us on this safespaceship crew, when I say I hope tomorrow brings you joy, and love, and unhinged laughter. Get some rest babes, love you <3

[axerocknroll]

My thoughts on the triple header:

I don’t even know where to begin, I think we all got overdosed by lestappen content in the last three weeks. Starting with Charles’ Pole in Austin and with him and Max talking before doing their interviews and clicking the picture for the top three in qualifying. 

Mexico was a total banger with lestappen being posted and mentioned on RBR socials, F1 socials, Max’s inchident tiktok (that man knows it by heart, obsessed he is). And we also got lestappen podium. The smiles they had on their faces during that podium. 

Brazil qualification, fantastic (although extremely chaotic!)

Lestappen P1-2 and not to forget, Charles’ Austin 2022 sunset lap finally got a parallel, with Max’s Brazil 2023 storm lap (he was sunshine, I was midnight rain- these two are so Taylor coded). And the post qualification debrief? All that chit-chatting, Max ignoring the interviewer cause he was busy talking with Charles. Charles after finishing his interview, immediately walking towards Max, who was literally staring at him and not to forget that when Max was getting interviewed, Charles was just three feet away from him. Charles reaching out for Max’s waist during the top three qualification picture?? I can’t believe Charles initiated it this time. Poor Lance though, he now understands what third-wheeling is. Let’s all welcome to the third-wheel group with Checo, Lewis, Carlos, Lando and whoever else has faced it. 

RBR having Charles’ data on their pitwall? What is going on? Lestappen being mentioned on F1 official page again? Ferrari posting the inchident meme on their socials. MAX CALLING CHARLES, “CHARLIE?” I always knew that Max is the typa guy to call Charles, “Charlie!” It’s one of my headcanons. “Charlie, I have some space for you,” this is gonna be ingrained in my brain forever.

Also, when Charles came in the top three for sprint in Austin (I think), Max had his arm wrapped around Charles’ waist and today when Lando and Checo were in the top three, Max held his trophy instead of resting his arms around them. SUS IF YOU ASK ME. 

Now, as a Charles fan first and foremost, this triple header was not at all good. The disqualification cause of the plank issues, FUCK YOU FERRARI. The only good thing out of the disqualification was the rise of 1644 nation. I absolutely love the development in their relationship. With the collaborative post and with Charles’ weird ass blue filter on it too. Lmao. And then the picture of Lewis took of Charles in Mexico, WHICH HE POSTED ON HIS MEXICO DUMP. Insane! And Charles even said that him and lewis have to definitely play chess together someday. I’m gonna cry, I like need a pic or video biblically of that.  

And now the booing that Charles faced in Mexico, absolutely disgusted by that behaviour. It was not Charles’ fault. He didn’t deserve the booing. He couldn’t even celebrate it properly on the podium. 

And Brazil today, did I mention, FUCK YOU FERRARI?? I’m literally one more vein popping away before I fly to Maranello, Italy and stab the people responsible for today’s disaster. What has Charles ever done to you? For him to receive this sort of treatment? Honestly, half of their team should be fired, ASAP. 

Out on formation lap is just embarrassing from Ferrari’s side, why the fuck didn’t they check the car?? “We’re checking” is not a good answer. 

I’m literally writing an email to Piero Ferrari after this rant. Strict action has to be taken at Scuderia Ferrari, starting with firing Xavi and everyone who created sf-23. I don’t give fucks at this moment. Happy to know that Charles has stopped wearing those ugly ass fuck red quail pants though. I’m loving him in the non-ferrari merch. 

I am happy that we only have two more races with this tacky, ugly, motherfucking, shit ass of a car. BURN SF-23 after Abu Dhabi. 

#I am down an entire bottle of red wine y'all #I can't believe I wrote a 600 word rant of the triple header #lestappen #charles leclerc #max verstappen #i fucking hate that sf23 #FUCK YOU FERRARI #I WILL LITERALLY COMMIT ARSON #I AM GONNA BURN DOWN MARANELLO

Like Crazy Challenge

Park Jimin/Reader (requests for BTS and SKZ still open!)

Summary: You do the like Crazy challenge with Jimin.

Word Count: 684 M.list

You stood off to the side as you watched Jimin, along with Sakura and Kazuha from LE SSERAFIM, film for Jimin’s Like Crazy challenge. The  three of them moved so flawlessly, that you couldn’t help but clap as they held their finishing pose.

‘Thank you!’ The three of them bowed politely to each other.

‘Y/N! You should do the challenge too!’ Sakura bounded over to you excitedly.

‘Oh no I couldn’t!’ You held up your hands and waved frantically, eyes slightly widening.

‘Ah Y/N, I’d love that.’ Jimin spoke up, moving to your side.

You weren’t an idol. You were actually a makeup artist employed by HYBE, currently working with the girls of LE SSERAFIM. When you joined the company way back in 2014, you were assigned to BTS, which was how you met Jimin. You had been together since about 2017. Even though you weren’t an idol, fans still knew who you were, considering that you ran a very successful YouTube channel.

‘I’m sure people don’t want to see me.’  Jimin grabbed your raised hands in his own with a smile.

‘Your few million YouTube subscribers says different.’ He laughed, still playing with your hands.

‘It’ll be fun Y/N, trust us!’ Sakura exclaimed again, Kazuha nodding enthusiastically.

‘Are you really going to deny them like that jagi?’ Jimin smirked coyly, knowing full well that you loved those girls way too much to say no to them. You rolled your eyes and groaned.

‘Fiiiinne.’ You dragged out, finally giving in. The two girls let out triumphant cheers, and Jimin leaned in to place a kiss on your cheek.

‘I knew we could convince you.’ He whispered in your ear, you smiling in response.

The camera crew had moved you to a different location, so that the video wouldn’t be too similar to Sakura and Kazuha’s.

‘Ah! I’m so out of time!’ You were mortified as the crew played back the video. You thought you did quite good in the moment, but now you were just embarrassed.

‘It’s quite funny though. I think we should go with this take!’ Jimin was almost falling over laughing as he  watched you on the screen.

‘Not a chance!’ You lightly slapped him on the shoulder to scold him. ‘We need to go again right now!’ You demanded, cheeks heating up as you noticed some of the crew sniggering too.

‘Calm down jagi I was kidding.’ Jimin said, finally calming down. ‘ But I liked the pose we did at the end, lets keep that!’  The pose in question was just something you came up with on the spot, not really sure how to end it. You had turned towards Jimin and crossed your arms over his right shoulder and leaned your head down facing the camera, whilst he leaned his head against yours with his hands in his pockets.

‘I just did that cause I didn’t know what else to do! Was it really good?’ You asked timidly, wanting to do a good job for Jimin.

‘Yeah I loved it! Shall we go again?’ It took another few tries until you felt your performance was good enough to post. Jimin assured you that your dancing was great, but you weren’t used to making that kind of content, so you couldn’t help but doubt.

‘See Y/N, everybody loves it!’ Jimin excitedly showed you the finished TikTok, along with the comments.

‘You were worried over nothing.’

‘You’re right.’ You smiled, looking over the comments.

‘Maybe I should do stuff like this on my own account.’ You wondered if your viewers would like something like this.

‘You should! You hardly use your TikTok account so this could bring you more viewers!’ Jimin was happy that you were pleased with the result of your collaboration, and if he could help you with your own social media, he would love to be involved.

‘Yeah. I’ll think about it.’ You nodded, smiling wide. ‘Maybe I’ll make a new career of doing TikTok challenges badly.’ You joked, not entirely opposed to the idea. ‘You’re too hard on yourself jagi.’ Jimin chuckled softly, bringing you into a warm hug

We need a chippo crimes dating headcanons! 🥰

TheBurntChip Dating Headcanons

Yes you can have some Chipper dating HC's!! Bro is TOO FINE. Also, REQUESTS OPEN, REQUEST WHAT MORE U WANNA SEE ME WRITE!!!

---------------------

-I feel like dating Chippo would be such a roles reversed relationship -Like, he sort of takes the wifey responsibilities whilst you focus on the convential 9-5 job, smth heavy duty like law asw -He finishes his podcast/stuff and makes steaks on Tuesdays, but otherwise throws smth in the oven or gets you takeout with him before coming home -In love with his own steaks -Mf would litr be moaning at the table about how good his steaks are whilst u two eat together -Always wants to eat with you as well -If the two of you are long distance, i.e. you had to go overseas to work, he'd fuck up his sleep schedule just to facetime you and eat dinner (or breakfast) with you on call with him -Also tho he does book holidays for j you (sometimes with your friends asw) because you rarely manage to get down time from work + he knows getting a break is so therapeutic for you -Often go on holidays together to places too tho #baecation -Your favourite is when you went to Dubai together, because he decided to vlog "Giving my girlfriend her dream holiday", where he paid for your shopping, had your nails done, and took you to quadbike for the first time -Obviously then the next day he took you to the golf course so that he could have a full day of golfing to repay for the time spent "doing that boring spa shit" -He complains about spas and self-care things on the camera and to his mates -Secretly it's his little guilty pleasure to do the occasional facemask with you every so often -First time it happened he was drunk and showed you a TikTok of some guy getting his face fully masked, treated and rolled, and Chippo had the audacity to ask "Why don't you do that to me :(" With a sad little face. -His sad little face ofc made you get out all your products and lay him down on the bed to get his face done -Decided to film it for a TikTok -Started with a sheet-mask which he slurred that it looked like he was joining a cult… -Also had to get a hand mirror so he could constantly see himself bc he insisted on knowing what he looked like constantly -Used the quartz roller to roll the mask over which smoothed it out really aesthetically -Managed to convince him to pluck the stray hairs of his brows -He made a big fuss over the first pluck and said you were going to kill him with those things -You've not been allowed to touch his brows since. -Finished by putting some cooling and hydrating gel all over his face, which he babbled Felt like getting a facial, before continuously asking you whether that's what cum feels like, making you flush bright red as you wrapped up the video and made it into a TikTok -Next morning, Chip looks in mirror and wonders why his face looks so nice and nourished already -Sees the TikTok and is horrified at how he acted and what all he said -Shows you the video and cries WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO MY FACE!?! -Troops groupchat post the video in chat and are commenting allsorts of woooow, Chippo soft launch, Chippy's slaying 😜, one of the girlies 💅 -Chip got over it though. -Acts all unhappy about what you've renamed the skincare incident, but whenever you put a sheet mask on whilst watching a movie, he asks for one as well -He's had compliments that he's been glowing, whenever he does the sheet masks anyways, so he figured there was no harm in just putting one of those on

NSFW HC's: -Deffo an ass guy -Doggy's the favourite position because he loves seeing it shake + hearing the clap 👏 -I feel like he'd be into thick girlies asw, like, he doesn't care if you have tummy or stretch marks, he's just obsessed with the package behind that (one for my thick girlies bc i need more appreciation in lyfe) -Probs has a shared playlist which he sent with the message yo put songs into this playlist u wanna have sex to -Loves when you hickey him up -Absolutely loves going into the shoot, hickeys standing out bright purple on his neck. Wears them like a badge of honour basically -Isn't toxic or protective over what you wear either -Wraps his arm around you regardless of what you're wearing because at the end of the day he knows he's gonna be the one to take them off -I feel like he's a fan of face sitting asw -He was first to suggest it which was a bit scary because you felt as though he was just speaking spontaneously/impulsively and didn't actually know what he wanted -Was quite insistent on trying it- litr begged at one point which made u give it a try -Kinda cautiously hovering over his face, not sitting bc you j wanted to triple check "are you sure?" -He answered by wrapping his arms around your thighs n pulling you down + onto his tongue -Loves you pulling on his hair asw -Arching back, fingers knotting his hair + pulling him as you moan n grind down onto his tongue -Bro would get absolutely pussy drunk too -His arms are hooked around your thighs and basically clamping you down -Literally still eating you out whilst you're climaxing -Will not stop until you tell him to, he is perfectly happy just being down there and at your disposal -More of a giver than receiver in terms of oral -Has said on the podcast "I don't know what to do when I'm getting head! Do I put my hands on their head- but what if I accidentally hurt them?! And what noises do you even make, because I am NOT letting out a moan-" -He does moan in the bedroom. -Is always saying "Oh my God" or something else when he's bottoming out inside you -Doesn't rly talk much during sex tho -Jokingly degrades you whilst you're not having sex (Like calling you a degrading name just for jokes when the two of you are doing something) but leans more towards praise whilst actually having sex

Your songs + stories behind them: -City of Angel, 24kGoldn - Your lockdown spent with Chip consisted of doing everything with this song in the background. Just hearing it when it crops up in the 1000+ song playlist when you're on the road reminds you of the waterballoon fight in the kitchen, the TikTok challenges you'd film, and when Chip tried to cook something other than steaks every Thursday -Would I Lie To You? Charles & Eddie - There was a period of time where you were questioning whether Chip was cheating on you because of the way you knew he was lying when he said he was at the Fella's Studios after some stupid times like eight o'clock. Turns out he was organising your birthday celebration, and you felt stupid for even letting the thought cross your mind that Chip would be disloyal… You heard this song at the party and added it to the liked songs because of how much it resonated with your thinking earlier. -Bassline Junkie, Dizzee Rascal - highlight of your year is going to rave with all your mates (Harry, Mia, Will, Megan, Theo n the lot). First year you went you herd this song and you and Chip literally like unlocked a different version of you two. You'd never seen Chip looking so feral and Chip had never seen you so passionate over a song… Which might have had something to do with the bag Harry was passing around 😳

[unnoticed-poison]

My sister is...a fraud!!

Those two have been all over my TikTok and I couldn't resist writing a short fic for them (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)this is also posted on AO3 and Wattpad

Part 2 of this fic is posted

_____________─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───_____________

"Listen people of Mount Rageous.."

Veneer took a deep breath as everyone's head snapped towards him, he could feel Velvet's curious gaze on his back.

He glanced at Floyd, who gave him a reassuring nod.

'𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵.' he mouthed, Veneer smiled in response and turned to face the crowd. They were all watching him with curiosity and doubts clear in their eyes from everything that happened just now, he couldn't blame them.

"My sister is....a fraud!!"

There were gasps and murmurs among the people gathered here tonight as their eyes moved to his sister, who was staring at him in complete shock, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"I...What?!!" he winced at her outburst but continued to look straight into her surprised expression.

"Sorry sis but you brought this on yourself.." he said, as he recalled how they got in this situation in the first place.

...══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════...

"We make a good team aye little bro?" Velvet asked, tapping the perfume bottle lightly with her finger.

"Yeah..."

"After such a show I need a rest, watch him for me k?" Velvet said, throwing the bottle his way, Veneer quickly caught the bottle before it hit the floor. He looked up at her and nodded.

"Just don't lose sight of him or something okay?" she said, yawing.

"Will do Sis." he nodded as she walked away, disappearing behind a nearby alleyway.

"Veneer, please.. let me go." Floyd, who was stuck inside the bottle, pleaded, pressing his hand against the glass to get Veneer's attention.

.......

Veneer sighed. " You know I can't." he shrugged. "It's nothing personal really, I just love my sister and all my fame, and things I brought, you get it? I can't afford to lose all that you know?"

Floyd opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything for a moment. Finally, his lips parted again, helplessness plain on his features as he stared at Veneer.

"Is there no other way..?"

"I'm afraid not, I can't betray my sister sorry, like I said it's nothing personal."

Silence fell between them.

Veneer couldn't deny that he felt a little guilt about what he and his sister were doing, he didn't even want to be famous at first, but Velvet was so adamant about having him join her when she started her career, and Veneer loved his sister too much to deny her anything. Even if it meant risking his reputation and his life.

Floyd suddenly broke the silence, "Wait!"

Hm?

Veneer raised a brow as he waited for the red-haired troll to continue, his eyes brightened as he stood up and pressed both his hands against the glass.

"How about we make a deal? I'll help you so you can keep being famous and you let me go, and I'll promise that I won't tell anyone about what you two did."

Veneer paused for a moment, contemplating his words. "Elaborate.."

A glint of determination sparked through Floyd's eyes as he explained. "Remember the times you practised when Velvet wasn't around?"

Oh.

"You do have some talent, albeit not much, but with a couple of months of practice.."

"What are you trying to say..?" Veneer asked, his interest peaked.

"If you would let me finish explaining first, that would be great," Floyd replied, smiling slightly, sarcasm dripping from his tone.

Veneer rolled his eyes as Floyd continued,

"The plan is simple, if you train hard for a few months, let's say two or so, you should be able to sing and dance without resorting to kidnapping and torturing more trolls like me,"

Oh..

Veneer considered for a while, he had never actually thought about this, but the idea was intriguing.

"Sure.. but what about Velvet though, you know how she is."

"You can show your sister after that how much you improved and perhaps she'll change her mind and start practising as well!"

huh.

"And if she says no?"

......

Floyd shrugged, he'll find a solution for that later. "Then we'll just have to see then, won't we?"

"Well, it's certainly worth a shot.."

Veneer said reluctantly, he still wanted to make sure his sister wouldn't hate him after this, but..he was willing to give it a try.

"So do we have a deal?" Floyd asked, looking up hopefully.

.....

"..Fine." Veneer finally gave in.

He just hoped this wouldn't end badly for him.

And thus, they began their secret singing and dancing sessions, with Floyd as his unofficial music tutor.

Whenever he and Velvet were done with their shows, he would sneak out and return to the studio to meet Floyd and practice for hours and hours until dawn.

Floyd was a wonderful teacher and helped him a lot with getting his range and flexibility right.

"Good good you're doing great! now three turns to the left then a flip! very good, just keep going like that!" Floyd exclaimed.

Veneer was panting, sweat pouring down his face as he repeated the steps over and over again until he perfected what he'd learned so far.

After practice, he'd return home before it was time for Velvet to wake up, leaving him with only 2 or 3 hours of sleep if he was lucky, so he started taking naps in between practice hours.

But there seemed to be something wrong with Velvet, her behaviour seemed to be getting...real bad, worse than ever before, he could barely catch any breaks from her, she would criticise him constantly, whenever it was about his dancing or singing, she would always find something to criticize.

'What the hell was that?'

'You call that dancing? our fans would hate that'

'How many fans do you think we can gain by making up little dances? Don't be stupid.'

'You need to do better'

'I'm starting to think you need the troll more than me'

It made him angry and upset at the same time, it frustrated him beyond belief, but thankfully Floyd was there to comfort him every time.

'How can someone treat their own sibling this way..?'

'Don't listen to her, you're doing great.'

'I just feel sorry for you.'

'I know it's none of my business, but if she truly cared about you, she wouldn't force you to do this.'

Floyd continued to chip away at Veneer's doubts, planting seeds of resentment and doubts at the back of his mind during this period.

Veneer was exhausted by the constant arguments, he didn't want to think badly of his own sister, but that last comment from the little troll made him have some doubts.

if she really cared for him, why does she treat him like an inconvenience..?

........

No no, it's not like that, maybe she's just stressed from having to keep up with the shows and fans and stuff and that was her way of relieving some of the stress, yeah that's it.

She would never intentionally hurt him, she cares about him.

Right..?

✧Sometime later✧

Velvet and Veneer smiled as they basked in the people's praises and adorations for their last performance of the evening.

Velvet smirked as she glanced at her brother. "Oh don't you just love this Veneer, the cheer and praises from our fans, It feels so good to get all that attention."

Veneer nodded, the smile he had was a little strained, "Yeah I guess..."

Once they were out of sight, her smug smile turned into a frown as she turned to him.

"By the way..."

He flinched and awaited the unavoidable criticism coming his way.

"What's wrong with you lately?! you almost made me trip when you bumped into me earlier!"

Veneer winced, after several weeks of the same routine, the lack of sleep took a toll on him and his performance during the shows, his dancing moves were a bit sloppy but his singing seemed better than ever.

"Sorry, I couldn't sleep well the last few days," he said, taking a seat on the couch to rest and catch his breath.

"Well you better find a solution to whatever is bothering you cause you're making ME look bad!" she huffed, her arms crossed and glaring at him.

Veneer nodded and rubbed his neck in thought, he was a bit nervous.

"Sis, There's something I need to talk with you about, it's important..." He began, he kept putting it off as much as he could, but he and Floyd figured that it was time, and he finally worked up the courage to talk to his sister about it.

Velevt hummed. "Out with it then."

"I was thinking that maybe we can...stop using the troll..?" he muttered, his voice too low and filled with uncertainty.

"Huh? Stop with the mumbling I can't hear shit." Velvet said, and she used the perfume bottle again, making the troll inside groan in agony.

"I don't want to use the troll anymore!"

........

Velvet paused, while the previously blue, now turned grey troll stared at him with a proud expression, a small glint of hope can be seen in his eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, they both flinched as the girl suddenly burst out laughing. "My god, this is THE funniest joke I've ever heard! you're a real comedian, brother."

"I'm not joking, this is serious."

Velvet scowled, their 'talent' had won them countless fans and everything they had ever wanted, to see her own brother have doubts now about their doings, it filled her with rage. "Why the sudden change of heart, Don't be stupid Venner, you know we can't."

"But we can practice!" He pressed on, he didn't want to go against her, and he knew Floyd was the source of their success and everything they have now, but he couldn't keep on like this either. "it might take a while but we'll finally be famous in our own right without having to resort to kidnapping anymore trolls and drain their talents, we can tell our fans that we're talking a small break so they won't suspect anything!" he added, desperation creeping into his voice trying to choose his words carefully to not make her even more mad.

He then pointed to the tired-looking troll. "I mean look at this guy, he looks rough and pale as heck, and not in a gorgeous Victorian way, I don't think we can use him for much longer anyway, and look! I can show y-" he said, about to show off the results of his hard work, but Velvet immediately interrupted him.

"Ooo so that's what this is about, I get it now."

He blinked. "You do?"

Velvet nodded, shaking the perfume bottle lightly. " You are worried about what are we gonna do after this one kicks the bucket, huh."

"What? no, I-"

"Well, I have a surprise for you little bro," she said, before turning to their assistant, who was standing in the corner. " Crimp!"

The little creature jumped slightly startled. "Y-yes?"

"Do you have the thing ready?" she asked.

"What thing? oh, you mean THAT thing! Of course one second I'll bring it in right away!" she said, running off as fast as she possibly could, leaving the two siblings behind.

"What was that about...?" Veneer muttered, he had a bad feeling about this.

Velvet grinned as she walked over to the closet nearby. "No need to worry, I have already got this covered, look!"

"What do you mean- What the hell!?" he yelled out in shock as she pulled out a small cage.

"We can't let our career get ruined just cause one pesky troll died, can we?" she said with a wicked grin on her face.

"You let us go right this second you little brat!!"

"John?!" Floyd yelled out, staring at his brothers in shock and horror, "Spruce, Clay? how did you all get captured?!"

"It's a long story."

"All of you shut it." Velvet hissed as she shook the cage angrily, causing the trolls inside to stumble back and cry out in pain.

Veneer was stunned.

"You captured more trolls..?"

Velvet looked proud of herself. " Yes, aren't I so great and thoughtful? there's more than enough for the two of us, we don't have to worry about losing our 'talent' anytime soon, now where the hell is Crimp?"

"I'm here!" Crimp called out as she ran back in, this time with two tops with huge shoulder pads.

Velvet nodded, before walking over and putting each of the struggling trolls into the empty spaces.

"Velvet... What is this?"

"Oh, this? we just have to press this little button here and voilà!" she said as she pressed the button, causing the trolls to groan in pain as they felt their talent being sucked while Crimp and Veneer watched in horror.

"You're smart Crimp, I'll give you that, but unfortunately..." she suddenly grabbed the wig and walked over to the closed, "I can't trust you anymore, so you'll stay here until we get a new assistant."

"Wait please no-!" Crimp yelped as she was roughly thrown inside the closet before it was closed.

Fuck, this couldn't be happening...

"Please sis, we can't be doing this! it's too cruel, how about we practice like I sugges-"

"Oh my dear stupid brother, I have already said that I DON'T want to work to be famous, and nothing will EVER change my mind, besides, if those little things escape and expose us we'll be done for," she said, walking over to him and glared at him, making him take a few steps back until his back hit the wall. "So, If you ever think of doing something stupid, just remember that you'll end up in jail just like me, and believe me when I say I'll make you regret it, got it?"

She then scowled, looking down at the trolls, to her, those annoying little creatures were nothing more than power resources. "As for you, don't worry, you won't be alone for long, even more of you will be joining you soon enough." Velvet hissed.

"Now make sure to take a long rest tonight, we have a big show tomorrow night, and you better not miss it up like today." she patted his head with a small mocking smile "And remember, you're 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 without me, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have all this fame and money, and don't you forget it."

She then left before Venner could respond, leaving him staring after her in shock. The whole situation was getting out of control, and he knew better than anyone how dangerous she was.

He felt his knees give up as he slumped to the ground.

What was he going to do?

Floyd, who noticed the state he was in, turned to his brothers and placed his finger on his lips, signalling them to be quiet while he dealt with the situation.

they were confused, they raised an eyebrow at him but decided to keep quiet and wait to see what he was going to do.

Veneer lifted his head as he heard Floyd speak up. " Are you really gonna let her treat you this way..?" his voice was laced with concern. "family don't treat each other like this."

"I don't know anymore..."

Fuck.

Floyd cursed in his heart, all his actions and words those past 2 months were to stir up conflict between the twins, creating a rift between them in Veneer's heart just in case the girl refused to change her ways like now, he could see that he still cares about her a little bit, which made him panic, he needed to find a way to change his mind, and quick, or else he and his brothers are done for.

He just needed a little push.

" Look, Veneer, I know this situation is difficult for you, you care for your sister and want the best for her, but can't you see that she's using you?"

Hurt shone in the youth's eyes as Floyd continued. "She doesn't treat you as an equal, you're nothing but a pawn to her, she's only using you for her own benefits, and you're letting her do as she pleases, she doesn't care about you like you think she does, do you want to spend the rest of your life being controlled by someone who doesn't even respect you?"

He then delivered the final blow. "Is that what you truly want?"

Veneer felt a lump form in his throat, he wanted to deny what Floyd was saying, but a small part of him knew that it was true, he had been so caught up in trying to improve and prove himself to his sister that he was been ignoring the way she's been treating him, shrugging it off as her being stressed.

.......

He really couldn't deny it anymore, huh...

"Maybe you're right..." He finally said, his voice barely above a whisper. "but I guess it doesn't matter what I think now, what else can I do? I still need to do whatever she says, If I let you guys go now, both of us will go to prison for tax fraud and other crimes, I have no choice in the matter."

"Wait." he suddenly said.

The green-haired boy groaned. "What now?"

There was a dangerous glint in the troll's eyes as he gave him a small smile." I think I know how to get you out of this situation scot-free."

"How..?"

"In order for this to work, I'll need your full cooperation and trust, it's not gonna be an easy thing for you, do you understand?"

The boy paused for a moment, considering his words, finally he nodded his head. " Yes, I understand, please tell me what to do."

Floyd nodded his head in approval. "Good, now first things first, let Crimp out."

Veneer did as he was told, he took the wig out, who was shaking in fear. " I swear I won't tell any-"

"Relax, we just need your help."

Crimp gulped, nodding her head, not daring to say anything else.

Floyd coughed as everyone gathered." now that everyone is here, what we need to do is..."

...══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════...

And so here they are now, in the middle of the stage, surrounded by their fans and the now-free trolls.

Veneer tried to ignore Velvet's shocked and furious glare as he spoke again. "She wanted to be famous by all means necessary, though she lacked talent, so she kidnapped the trolls and forced both me and our assistant to cooperate with her, we had no choice but to play along and obey her orders."

Veneer looked around the stand as he said this, seeing all their faces filled with confusion and disbelief.

"What the hell do you think you're doi-" Velvet began but interrupted as Crimp jumped on her head before jumping again and landing beside him, she pushed up her glasses. "And I have the proof!" she said, pressing the button as the large TV showed yesterday's event, with Velvet shaking the cage containing the trolls and threatening him to keep quiet.

"Oh my god.."

"It's true then!"

"What a monster.."

"Those poor little creatures.."

Suddenly a loud screech startled them, Veneer gasped as Velvet jumped at him, wrapping her hands around his neck, squeezing tightly.

Velvet had mascara running down her cheeks from the tears as she growled. " YOU LITTLE BASTARD! HOW CAN YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THIS? YOU'RE IN THIS JUST LIKE ME! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON MY FUCKING SIDE!! HOW COULD YOU!"

The boy struggled to breathe, trying to hold Velvet off as she kept screaming insults at him.

Ritz, the DJ who interviews them regularly tried to get her off him but was punched in the face, making him stumble back and fall to the ground in pain.

One of the security guards immediately rushed in and tackled her off of him, dragging her away.

"You're coming with us miss," he said as the girl struggled furiously, causing him to tighten his grip around her arm and drag her out.

"Let's me go!! Veneer!!"

Veneer coughed as he tried to catch his breath, his hand touched his neck, which was now bruised and full of bloody nail marks.

"Are you okay?" Ritz asked.

"Yeah.. you?"

The DJ nodded as he held his broken nose. "Yeah, but damn that girl is strong, I can't feel my nose, gotta get that checked right away, bye!"

Veneer nodded as the guy rushed off, he suddenly felt a hand on his foot and looked down, seeing Floyd looking up at him with a proud smile. " You alright?"

Veneer smiled at him weakly, rubbing his neck. "I think so..."

"I know it wasn't easy for you, but you did the right thing," he said quietly, giving him a reassuring pat, watching Velvet getting dragged by the security guards, with her still hurling insults their way.

His plan worked better than he expected, now he and his brothers are free, and he got revenge on one of those two.

Veneer couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over him. " I guess.."

Huh.

This is strange..

He doesn't feel as sad as he thought he would.

Maybe this is a good thing.

══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════

"Look there she is..."

"She still has the nerve to act like she's something."

"What a bitch."

The two girls flinched as Velvet turned her head in their direction, her eyes holding a cold anger behind them.

"If you have something to say say it to my face, got it?" she hissed, glaring daggers at them, they both quickly backed down and ran off.

Velvet scoffed. "That's what I thought."

She grabbed a tray and went to grab some food, she almost gagged at the smell, the food here was absolutely vile and awful.

And this.. thing, this dark brown prison outfit was so uncomfortable and looked horrible on her.

She thought, taking a seat at an empty table and grabbing her fork.

"And now our time for our rising star, Let's have a round of applause for Veneer!!"

What..!

Her head immediately snapped towards the TV that was hanging on the wall to her left.

She could see Veneer smiling and waving at the camera as the fans cheered for him, she felt sick, a mixture of anger and jealousy consumed her as she watched him perform on stage without the help of any trolls, she couldn't believe it, and she hated to admit, but he was amazing at it.

The feeling of injustice and anger was becoming too much to bear, and the sight of him singing and dancing so confidently, only served to remind her of everything she had lost, her wealth, glory, fans, and her position as a rising star in the industry.

When did he suddenly get good at singing?! he was just as bad as her a few months ago!

This wasn't fair.

𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦!

𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰-

Oo I see what this is about-

Wait..

Is 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 what he was trying to show her back then?

Was he practising behind her back..?

Is this why his movement was a bit sloppy during those few times..

𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴..

His lack of sleep...

So that's why he had a sudden change of heart... he didn't need any trolls to begin with!

She growled, her thumb pressing on the fork until it bent under her pressure.

This wasn't fair, if he tried harder to show her back then she wouldn't be rotting in this damn prison in the first place, she would've been standing beside him, basking in the glory and fame that she know they deserved!

This wasn't fair..

This wasn't fair!

THIS WASN'T FAIR!!!

"Do you have anything you want to share with your fans?" kid Ritz asked him, handing him the microphone.

Veneer let out a nervous chuckle, his smile not reaching his eyes. "Well, I kind of miss my sister to be honest with you, I..tried to change her mind multiple times, I didn't want to do this to her, believe me, I wish things were different, but she...refused to listen, I wanted us both to be here today since we've always been there for each other, but..you know.."

He sighed. " I just want her to know that I still care about her deep down, and I hope that one day...we can get back to the way we used to."

.........

After a few minutes of silence, she finally let out a sob, her grip on the fork loosened, before slipping out of her hand and onto the floor.

'This isn't fair...'

_____________─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───_____________

Kinda want to write more for those two and others ngl (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

#trolls #velvet and veneer #trolls floyd #manipulation #velvet trolls #trolls veneer

[readerhead]

The project

summary: you're working on a project and can't share it with Matt

pairing: Matt x reader (I made this thinking of female reader but there isn't any word that imply it so anyone can read it)

warnings: just too much fluff

word count: 0.9k

a/n: this was short but I think it's cute. I saw a girl on tiktok doing this gift to her husband and I couldn't help thinking about Matt so I wrote it even I usually am not a fan of established relationships. Surprisingly, there's no song to this fic. I also would try to fix the Peter fic

———————————-

"Hey sweetheart!" Matt called from the door when he arrived. 

"Hi love!" you said putting some papers in a folder. 

"What were you doing?" crap, he caught up on your excited tone. 

"Just some project." you didn't want to tell him exactly what it was. 

"Oh. Can I know what's about?" 

"Not yet." he was a little taken aback by your response, you  would always take the opportunity ramble about your beloved work. "I promise to show you everything as soon as it's finished. Pinky promise." you extended your pinky and he intertwined his. 

"Okay" he was a little skeptical but he trusts you. "What do you want for dinner?" 

That was the first time you weren't completely honest with him. The worst was that you knew he knew, but it wasn't your fault that he had those fucking super abilities. You just wanted to surprise him, like a normal couple, but hiding anything for him was way more complicated. Obviously, this happened a few more times before you could finish your gift. 

"Yes, please. I need you to find out where those papers are from, if I run out of them he's gonna notice." 

"No problem, I'll text you." just when Foggy hung up, you heard Matt opening the door, you were sure he had heard the last bit of conversation at least and you would be so mad if the surprise was spoiled that he was obviously sensing your anxiety. 

"Was that Foggy?" he gave you a peck. 

"Yes, he was helping me out with some stuff."

"Your secret project?" you nodded but he calmed you. "Don't worry, I didn't understand what you two were talking about." he was a little confused as to why you could tell Foggy but not him, it made him a little insecure but he wasn't going to push you even more about having secrets. 

"You know? I have another project that I only wanna share with you." you got on your tiptoes before whispering something to him. Then you held his hand and headed to the room with a very happy Matt after, with your offer he couldn't find it in himself to care about anything more. 

Time passed quickly and it was almost the day as all the hearts and red stuff over the town indicated. You had spent the last three hours getting dressed and making the dinner, because of your schedules he always cooked but today you got out of work before as it was a special day to return the favor. Even if he couldn't tell your dress was scarlet, as his nocturnal activities' suit. As his glasses. Wearing a color so characteristic of him always made you feel even more connected to him, maybe it was silly but you enjoyed it. What he would definitely sense was the material: satin. You knew how he loves silk and even if it's not the same it was a good surrogate and way more cheaper. Just when you lit the candle he appeared from the little hall. 

"Oh, hey!" you smiled at him and got closer to kiss him. 

"Since when do we celebrate Valentine's Day? Not complaining, just asking." 

"I know you aren't the biggest fan of this day buuuuuut" you emphasized trying to change his mind a little. "years ago this was the day of our first kiss" his ears and neck turning light pink. "and a dinner won't kill. Would it?" he smiled sheepishly at you because even if he didn't care about this festivity, you being genuinely happy made him happy. 

"That sounds almost as good as it smells." you hugged him. 

While he finished his dessert you got up and went to the bedroom. 

"Sweetheart? Where are you going?" 

"Just wait a sec, Matty." you called from there, taking something out of a drawer and going back to the table. "This is for you, Valentine's was just an excuse." 

"What is this?" 

"A gift." his eyes pointed somewhere near you with a situation look, but your smile was still bright as before while he opened the envelope. His hands took all the papers from it and it smelled like your perfume. After a couple seconds of distraction he noticed with his touch that it was not any material, it was thicker and it had dots. He started reading the first line eagerly. 

"A letter?" he noted when he read the initial 'My dearest Matthew,' and you nodded. He didn't stop, not in the ten pages -being originally 3 pages on both sides in your handwriting-. You usually were more expressive with actions than words, so the fact that you took your time to make this and open up on it had his eyes crystallized. Just when he read the postscript he chuckled. "Hope you liked my project?" you hummed, nodding again. "Thought it was something work related." 

"I never said that. You just assumed and it was easier, it's difficult to hide something from you." he took your hand and sat you in his lap. 

"How did you translate it?" 

"I bought a braille dictionary. Now I admire even more that you can read it with such speed." you kissed him on the cheek and he left the gift on the table, relocating his hands on both sides of your face. 

"Thank" he kissed your forehead, "you" then your left cheek, "very" and the other "much," and your nose and he said your name before finally meeting your smiling lips. He kissed you slowly, grateful and in love. It then turned famished, as if he hadn't kissed you in years, as if he couldn't get enough. 

"Perhaps I should write you more love letters." you said when the kiss broke. 

"Yeah, maybe you should." before you knew it your lips were together again.

would that i had finished the deranged comic sans powerpoint 101 for sweeney todd by now i would link it here but as it is it still needs a lot of work before i'm even remotely comfortable posting it hOWEVER that doesn't mean i can't still be of some assistance

(disclaimer: i am about to throw a LOT of information at you and you are by no means obligated to try and digest it all at once please instead do so at your leisure/your level of interest instead)

sweeney todd 101 cliffnotes version for people who want to get into sweeney todd by someone who is way too invested in this show

sorry to anyone who doesn't like the office this is the only cold open that matters to me in this particular stage of life rn

so for those who aren't already familiar with sweeney todd (or have a passing familiarity with it either via sweeney todd related tiktok content or other similarly related content consumption) one of the first things i would recommend starting with is the 2007 tim burton film since it's a pretty good place to start (and also easily one of the best film adaptations of a musical imo). you can find it on hbo max or on youtube for 3.99 if you don't have and/or want to pay for an hbo max subsciption. (you can also 🏴‍☠️ it because capitalism sucks. remember to sail the seven seas* responsibly!)

now if you're interested in other productions (and/or not particularly interested in the film) there's the 2014 half concert half staged proshot starring emma thompson as mrs. lovett and christian borle as pirelli that you can find on youtube for FREE (here is a link to act one and another link to act two AND a link to the opening on it's own because it is absolutely PHENOMINAL i genuinely can't recommend it enough).

emma thompson and welsh opera singer sir byrn terfel jones in sweeney todd: the demon barber of fleet street in concert 2014

there is also the original 1982 proshot starring some of the original cast such as angela lansburry (unfortunately len cariou, the original sweeney does not reprise his role BUT george hearn does a phenominal job in the role). you can find this one on amazon for 3.99 to rent or it and a plethora of other musical proshots on BroadwayHD for 11.99/mo but unless you're interested in watching other musicals and plays on BroadwayHD i would suggest renting it on amazon or 🏴‍☠️ it for free if you know where to look (i honestly don't know what pirating musicals looks like outside of yt bootlegs and i am still very very new to actual bootleg trading so you'd have to ask someone else)

the late dame angela lansburry and george hearn in the 1982 proshot version of sweeney todd

and finally, my personal favourite, the 2023 broadway revival. unfortunately we only have five singles that have (officially) been released (which you can find here on spotify) but we also have the official ballad of sweeney todd performace from this year's tony awards AND there IS a way to watch it if you are like me and can't afford to fly to new york and see it at the lunt-fontanne theater (just dm me for the details). this is quite possibly my favourite version of this story and if great comet wasn't already an indicator that josh groban is a great fit for broadway this DEFINITELY is imo.

other recommendations include sideway's video essay on the music in sweeney todd, christine baranksi's version of worst pies in london (and her criminally underrated version of a little priest with kelsey grammar in a 20th anniversary concert version that i would give my left kidney to see in full), imelda staunton and michael ball's version of a little priest from a 2012 revival, patti lupone as mrs. lovett playing the tuba in the stripped down 2005 broadway revival, lin manuel miranda's sweeney todd themed hamilton parody for broadway cares featuring the funniest jonathan groff cameo i've seen in my life (and the recent ham4ham version performed by the current 2023 revival cast) and my last braincell when confronted with literally any sweeney todd related content these days.

#*it's always a good idea to use a vpn when you 🏴‍☠️ if you can #i personally recommend nord vpn because it's one of the best #but in terms of vpns that are a little more cost effective i recommend both surfshark vpn and proton vpn #the latter of which is the one my coworker uses and has a very user friendly user interface #answered #himbocampus #we are not going to talk about how long it took for me to write this post and how it's almost three pages single spaced size 11 font #what we ARE going to talk about however is how much this genuinely made my night and how much fun i had writing this #thank u so much for this kam i hope u have a wonderful night and that this is even a little bit helpful 🦁💖 #sweeney todd #sweeney todd revival

So excited to know that you also love Link Click...! I watched it first before JJK (I know, still kinda new in thw fandom), so Cheng Xiaoshi/ Lu Guang are special to me. And after 2nd season with that finale, wow, for me it feels like came out of a fanfic. So when I got to know Gojo/ Geto somehow they remind me of Cheng Xiaoshi/ Lu Guang, cause both couples are doomed by the narative....

And what do you think after you finished TGCF? Have you read the novels? Just so you know, it is worth it to collect the books. Their story is that good. Also when you finished it, most likely you'll also have some non-canon fav couples (I have 4 non canon fav couples from TGCF)....And have you watch MDZS or SVSSS?

Sorry for my rambling, MXTX is one of my favorite author ever and I like to talk about their works. (And now I'm still depressed with the latest JJK update and nervous with the BNHA update)......

OMG SEASON TWO FINALE OF LINK CLICK ABSOLUTELY SLAYED ME. Lu Guang, the enigma that you are. This whole time!? What a damn reveal! Just thinking about it, tbh, I'm gagged. I like to guess at things, obviously, but just never even fathomed.

I don't know if I'd mentioned that before RE: Gojo and Geto but same. It might be on an anime recommendation draft 😅 Like, sure, their character design is an obvious indication but it's really all the anguish bubbling just beneath the surface. And now I need to read all the source material because I'm not sure I can wait for them to animate (even though the animation is just 😘👌🏾

For background on my experience while watching TGCF, there are a lot of cultural/religious things that were completely out of my current realm of understanding re: ascension, conditions/relation of the supernatural beings discussed, etc. but I was still able to really enjoy it without and prompted curiosity to learn more before jumping into the novels. Like, having watched and read media informed by Japanese culture (and growing up on Inuyasha), you understand the idea of youkai, general types and their dispositions, even some religious aspects to practices by priestesses and even everyday people, etc. so it's a little easier to navigate. So getting into Chinese media of a certain time period where those beliefs and practices inform the story was a challenge but it also just kind of opens your eyes to how much you don't know which is exciting. I absolutely want to check out the books because I need to know Xie Lian's whole origin (including his 17th birthday and his parents backstory) and what transpired to have created the delicate soft spot San Lung has for him. I hadn't heard of SVSSS yet but MDZS is on my TBW and I'm wondering if watching it will help clarify my confusion from TGCF or if I should do some research ahead of time so I'm not as lost.

Never apologize, I love when people are inspired and passionate! Lol and makes the conversation I have with you guys feel less one sided (with my disproportionate essay responses haha). 💛 I'm sure I'll post when I start watching/reading any of the above so we can reconvene! I'm currently finishing up Stars Align and, from what I've gathered might need to add this to my TBR to get a satisfactory end to things, too. 😭

I've been running on an empty battery lately so Tumblr's really the only social media platform I've been consistently perusing and posting on (RIP to twitter, insta and tiktok, ig). The upside of this being that I see JJK and BNHA leaks less frequently so I'm out here living in ignorant bliss ✨ So if you're out in these virtual streets, be safe out there, anon!

╰─▸ ❝ HE'S AT YOUR WINDOW

𖦹 tags black!femafabreader, obsessive!leon, stalking, leon is very ooc, dead dove do not eat, mentions of emotional abuse 

𖦹 synopsis to sum this up, completely based on the “check your window, he’s at your window” trend on tiktok

𖦹 word count 1.1k

𖦹 a/n this will be the start to a series, how long? no fuckin idea, but enjoy this first part [story below the cut]

“Think the rain’s gonna let up?” Your close friend Vee asks as she looks out the window. It’s pouring outside of the store, causing the outside to have a nice blue hue to it. “I hope so, we don’t want to be here if it floods..” You responded, taking a sip of your bubbly soda after. 

You stare at the window too, slowly zoning out of what’s going on currently, and thinking about the past. When you and your ex, Leon, were together and it rained, you would just cuddle and watch movies all day. It was so perfect. Until.. until he went.. insane. His once calm and sometimes stoic demeanor would turn into a possessive and jealous one. “Hey. You alright?” You snap back into reality, facing Vee’s face. You shyly nod your head yes. But you assume that she has already seen the saddened look on your face before you could change it. 

“Babe.. he can hurt you anymore. He won’t hurt you anymore.. not as long as I’m here,” Vee says empathetically. You really owe her. To get someone out of an emotionally abusive relationship is hard, but she still pushed through for you anyways, even though it wasn’t her responsibility. She cared for you as if you were related to her. She placed her hand up to your cheek, caressing it softly. “I don’t want you to worry about him anymore, kay?” 

“Ok.” You smile at her. You’ve already told her this, but she would make an amazing partner if you two wanted each other non-platonically. “I’m gonna go to the bathroom real quick, text me if you need something, ok babe?” You hum in response, watching Vee get up from her chair, fix it, then take her phone and walk away. You take another sip of your soda, then go on your phone scrolling mindlessly on Twitter. Suddenly, a message pops up in your dms. Usually, you thought of it as those weird sex bots who desperately try to scam people. But it seemed too off, so you decided to check on it. 

Propped up was an obvious Twitter pre-made username, but they had a black pfp. The name simply said, KL. The message coming from them saying, I miss you. I’m lonely. You think nothing of it, deleting the message soon after. These people are just so weird behind a screen huh?.. You continue to scroll on your Twitter, giggling to yourself whenever you see a funny post. But then again, you see another message from the same account. You click on it again seeing something way more ominous. I miss your laugh. It’s weird, but there can be many reasons as to why someone would say that, and you were praying that it wasn’t because you were genuinely laughing just a moment ago. You decide to not entertain it by simply blocking and deleting the account from your dms. Then closing Twitter entirely. 

Vee comes back from the bathroom, walking back to the table the two of you shared. “Ready to go?” She said, visually refreshed. “Yea, let’s go.” The two of you walk out, then head to her car to go to her home. 

----

“Hey Vee, can I use this?” You say wrapping yourself in a towel and walking over to her. “My mielle? shitt girl.. you know those things rarely get restocked ‘round here,” You frown to that. Although you get where she’s coming from, you don’t need her to be stingy. “Pleasee.. I promise to go to the store and find you one!” You make a frown to try to convince your friend. She looks like she's deep in thought, but then she gives in. “Fine, put on your clothes first, then we’ll head to CVS quickly.” You hug her, then head back to the bathroom to finish up. 

The two of you walk into CVS, going separate ways almost immediately. You lift your head to find for the haircare aisle, walking to it when you see it. You accidentally bump into someone, mumbling an apology soon after. The person says “It’s okay,” with deep, raspy voice. You feel like you recognize the voice, but mark it off as nothing and continue to look for the hair product. 

The person you bumped into is still in the same aisle as you, but they have a hoodie on so you can’t make out their face. Not that you judge or anything, but they didn’t have the stature of a woman, and their muscles lowkey poked through their hoodie. They were tall too, maybe around 5’11? You quickly turn back to yourself so you aren’t caught analyzing someone. 

You feel your phone buzz in your pocket. Assuming it’s Vee, you take it out to see what’s going on. Another Twitter message. You unlock your phone to go look at it, another black pfp account, but with another name. KSL. It seemed similar to the other “KL” account since it had the same getup and all. The message they sent through, was what made you nervous. You’re still so clumsy as ever, princess. You look to the person next to you, them being in the same spot as before but staring at a product. What the fuck? This was getting too good to be true, and you were getting freaked out. But you did what you knew best.. block and delete the account from your dms. 

You go farther down the lane, passing by the stranger. “Looking for this?” The pale hand extends to you the Mielle Oil you were looking for. They turn to face you, and your heart drops in horror. 

It was him. You left him 6 months ago, and never spoke to him again. Just took your things and left. You honestly have never seen him around since then. His icy blue eyes stare down into yours, with his lips curling into a small smirk. Your toxic ex was back in your face, and you couldn’t believe it. You had no time to worry, you needed to get out of here. You run to the check out isle, seeing Vee scan her items. “Did you find it?” She says looking around your hands for the product. Her expression changes the moment she truly sees your face. She furrows her brows and asks “What’s wrong babe?” 

“He’s here. I don’t know how, but he’s here and we need to leave. Now.” 

Vee nods at your request, and you help her bag her stuff. You panic as you put the items in the bag, and the two of you hurry to leave the store and get to the car. “Go inside the car, I’ll put it away,” Vee says as she opens the trunk of her car. You get inside the passenger seat, putting on your seatbelt and waiting patiently for Vee to finish. She gets inside the driver seat, putting on her seatbelt then wastes no time to turn on the engine and drive away. A sense of relief fills you, but you see Leon in the outside mirror of the CVS, standing ominously. 

“You won’t get away from me. Not anymore.”

Intuition

Have you ever seen those "intuition test" videos on IG and TikTok, the ones where you have to guess the color/object/whatever that they're hiding? Did you know that those tests have absolutely nothing to do with intuition?

Intuition =/= guessing. If you have no information, no possible way to deduce the answer, that is guesswork.

Intuition is the ability to subconsciously and quickly apply your experiences to the situation at hand and make a logical conclusion based off that judgement.

If a random stranger comes up to you and says "guess what color shirt I just bought" and you blurt out an answer based on nothing, that's a guess. But if that says "guess what color shirt I just bought" and one look at him says "Goth!" you will intuitively say black. No thought needed.

The thing with intuition is that all of this occurs faster than your conscious mind can process. It's rapid pattern reading, even when you don't know those patterns are there.

Some ways intuition manifests:

Deja Vu - you've seen this before, and react based on that.

Gut feelings - if you have a strongly negative feeling about somebody, they're exhibiting behaviors that have been harmful to you before, or that your social training is against. For example, if someone's smile doesn't reach their eyes, we are trained to view that as a fake smile, which will set off alarm bells.

Vibes - vibes and gut feelings are literally the same thing. If someone is upbeat and laughing, they'll give off positive vibes, because we have positive associations with laughter.

Finishing someone's sentence - whether out loud or in your head, if you know the person or topic well, you can finish their sentence before they do. My husband and I do this to each other all the time. We can have entire conversations where only one of us speaks, because that one can answer for the other. It's uncanny.

Fear of clowns/masks/makeup/etc - fear/distrust of clowns and masks is a deep seated evolutionary response. We base so, so much of our ability to communicate on seeing someone's face, so not seeing someone's face at all, or not seeing their true face, can trigger distrust. Some people even feel that way about drag personae, Santa Claus, goths, kabuki makeup, etc. It's one of the reasons so many historical cultures have used war paint!

Uncanny Valley - Similar to the fear of covered faces, seeing something kinda human but not quite triggers an intuitive distrust. ther UV reactions from them. I want to do a research paper.) I, for one, am terrified of those humanoid AI robots. They look too much like people but they act like a computer.

Gaydar - gaydar is definitely a type of intuition, but I understand how straight people develop it. For those in the know, it's just more pattern recognition.

Neuro-dar - similar to gaydar, neurodivergents can almost always find each other because we can read behind the mask, since we experience a lot of the same things.

How do you improve intuition? Sadly, there's only two ways: know shit and experience life. As an average American, even without ever having walked down a strange dark alley alone at 0200 , if you were to do that, your intuition would take over to warn you of danger and make you hyperaware of other danger-cues...even ones you didn't know you knew. We know this from implicit and explicit teaching within our society. But would your average man from Denmark feel the same way? Probably not, because that -plicit teaching wouldn't be there.

Similarly, experiencing life brings intuition. For some, it comes too young. Children from abusive households are very intuitive. A teenager with a healthy childhood is as dense as a pound cake. Living through situations will hone your intuition and make it sharper.

Intuitive life isn't about a guessing game.

Unpopular opinion time:

I keep seeing people on TikTok crying for Simon to be recast, because Rege doesn't want to be in Bridgerton anymore but Simon and Daphne "need" to be in it

No. No, they do not

First of all - recasting is bad 90% of the time and works only when the original wasn't that good or wasn't a developed character. None of this applies to Rege's portrayal of Simon. Hell, Bridgerton took of as it did BECAUSE Rege was so fantastic as this character and had fantastic chemistry with Phoebe. You can't just recast any other tall black actor and think that'll do it

Second - Simon and Daphne both have NOTHING to offer to the story further. They had their love story, they're happily married and are currently raising their own family. Their estate is canonically far from London, so they can't just come whenever, with their kids and all. More than that - they have not a single reason to come to London during the social season. They don't have a daughter that needs to find a husband, and Daphne's sisters are not their responsibility in that regard. Like it or not, but Simon and Daphne have their own, SEPARATE family. Simon canonically stated to dislike London during the social season, why would he even want to subject himself to it, unless he absolutely had to? "But Daphne likes balls!" Yes, and she can throw her own at their estate outside of social season, as she stated to wish to do in season 1

I believe the vehemence of some fans over this has come from the fact that Kate and Anthony are present for season 3. So of these two can be there, why not the Bassets?! Kate and Anthony are Bridgertons. They're literally the heads of that family. Anthony now has two sisters out in society, both of whom need to be chaperoned to the balls, introduced to suitors etc. Of course Violet and Kate would share the responsibilities in this. And Anthony is literally the Vicount, with many family business to attend to, so that's where he's at - with his family. But Simon and Daphne are not and were never supposed to be a part of Bridgerton family in the same capacity as Kate had become. They're beloved relatives, no doubt, but they have THEIR OWN FAMILY

The only moment where I think Simon was really missing, was at Anthony's failed wedding. But then again, Simon is a Duke. He's a Duke of an estate that has canonically been left in a disarray and had problems with crops that probably wouldn't be solved in one year turn. They just needed to address it more directly in season 2, that he had an urgent estate business to attend to. After all, that wedding WAS on a too short notice

I can't understand why so many fans decided that if Bassets aren't present with Bridgertons during the summer, it means they don't see them at all. In season 2 we weee all shown that all of Bridgertons have met Auggie before we first met him, even Colin who's constantly at travels. The detective work isn't that hard here. The series notoriously only takes place during the summer because of the social season. We're not shown what's going on the rest of the year but it's SO EASILY DEDUCED I can't!

In conclusion: no, Simon should not ever be recast. His and Daphne's character arcs have been perfectly finished and they're happy together, raising their family in the country as they wanted. They visit Bridgertons a lot off screen, when everyone is free to do so. Would I like some appearances? Sure, they'd be lovely, Simon and Daphne are my favorite Bridgerton couple and season 1 will always be superior for me. But those appearances would just be lovely nod to the fans, because they don't have any further storyline to offer. And such appearances wouldn't mean anything with a recasted Duke. Rege is the only Duke of Hastings that can ever be

The Girl’s Got Rhythm | Eddie Munson

Add yourself to my taglist! | Here’s my masterlist!

Pairing: Eddie Munson x fem!reader

Warnings: just a bit of cursing? 

Words: 2,701

A/N: This is just something random I came up with while scrolling through tiktok past those female drummer accounts. Shout out to them, honestly. I tried to avoid using (Y/N) this time, I hope I did a good job? Enjoy! 

He hated absolutely everyone in school. Every student, from freshmen to seniors. All they ever did was pretend to be these picture-perfect students with their completely perfect lives. None of them were ever themselves. 

Forced conforming, he’d called it once. 

The cheerleaders and jocks were the worst of all. Everywhere they went, they had to be in those ridiculous green-and-white jackets, or the skirt-and-top combo. To Eddie, what he wore reflected how he felt, what he loved, who he was. He doubted any of them felt like wearing the stupid uniforms every day. 

It made them look like sheep in a flock. You could never tell one from the other. 

“We’re rehearsing in the music room tonight, right?” asked Jeff as he and Eddie made their way to their lockers to get their books for their last period – Mrs. O’Donnell’s. 

Eddie hummed. Just one more hour before he could finally be released from this hell. “Yeah, right after Hellfire… I still can’t believe Gareth’s parents decided to turn their garage into a fucking mancave. They really don’t want their kid in a band, do they?” 

“Mmh-mhh,” Jeff shook his head in response. “They always regretted buying him that first drum kit.” The boy patted Eddie on the back, saying “‘right, I’ll see you later.” 

“See ya, Jeff.” 

With a deep sigh, Eddie gathered his courage and made his way towards Mrs. O’Donnell’s classroom where he maneuvered towards the back. His head was far up into song-lyric land. The new song was coming along nicely, it just needed a banging bridge, but for some reason, he couldn’t figure it out. 

Eddie didn’t notice where he was going and only looked up when he bumped into someone. Her sparkling eyes met his as her lips curled up into a smile. “Sorry,” they both muttered before moving the same way again. Eddie chuckled before grabbing her shoulders and basically making her dance around him. 

The head cheerleader.  Pretty much the only one of the entire squad of girl sheep that gave him the light of day, even if it was just smiling at him in the hallway or not giving him weird glances. 

There was something about her that he liked a lot. But he couldn’t quite place his finger on it. 

It wasn’t the fact that she was drop-dead gorgeous, or the fact that she was nice to him. It was something different about her, but he had no clue what it was. 

Mrs. O’Donnell’s class always seemed to last longer than any other class, but it did give Eddie the opportunity to work on that one godforsaken bridge he couldn’t seem to get right. While he knew he should be paying attention, he didn’t quite feel like doing so. 

By the end of the class, his bridge was halfway finished and his friends were ready to get to playing his new D&D campaign. He, himself, was excited for them. There were so many plot twists he had an ‘aha!’-moment with and he couldn’t wait for his friends to react to it, too. 

But it wasn’t until half of Hellfire made their way to the music room with Gareth, Jeff and Grant gushing about the first part of the campaign that Eddie felt truly accomplished. Not a lot of people would understand what they were even talking about or why Eddie was so proud of himself for doing such a great job on the campaign, but he didn’t care that they didn’t get it. All he cared about was that his friends had liked it. That was what Hellfire was all about. 

The band stopped halfway towards the music room when they heard the beat of a drum echoing through the hallway.

“Didn’t we ask Mr. Franklin to use the room for tonight?” Gareth asked, his eyebrows furrowing. 

Eddie slowly nodded his head before his curiosity took over and inched closer towards the door to take a peek inside. There, behind the drums, sat a girl. Someone he didn’t recall ever seeing before. He would’ve remembered the long hair and the ripped jeans and the band shirt. Then again, he couldn’t quite see her face yet as she was all head banging and hair flying everywhere. 

He was perplexed. Whoever this girl was, he had to talk to her and get to know her. She could drum like Tommy Lee. He had never seen a girl drum. If he had, he would’ve married her already. 

Seemingly sensing the boys’ presence in the room, the girl suddenly looked up and halted her drumming. “Shit, sorry,” she mumbled and the smile she gave the boys had Eddie’s heart skip a beat or five. 

It was her. 

The head cheerleader. 

The only one of the flock of sheep that ever paid attention to them. 

Her name stuttered across Eddie’s lips. “Wha–? You can drum?! Where’s your cheerleader outfit? Wh–?” The girl giggled at his confused blabbering and let her hand glide through her long, loose locks. 

“I’ve been drumming since I was five, so yea, I can drum a little,” she shrugged nonchalantly. “My father has always been into rock bands and used to be a drummer himself. I had a bit of a frustrating day, so it always helps coming in here and whaling out on some drums. As for the cheerleader outfit, I always change clothes after practice.” 

“Can you play us something?” Gareth asked, his interest piqued as well. 

The girl nodded her head and started playing a beat. There was a smile that tugged at her lips whilst she played, showing the boys that she absolutely loved doing what she did. Playing completely transcended Eddie’s beliefs about cheerleaders. 

“I can do Michael Jackson too,” she shouted over her own drumming and switched the beat to a song Eddie vaguely recognized from the radio. “But I can also…” she started playing a Black Sabbath song the boys immediately recognized. 

“Can she become our drummer instead?” Jeff asked, earning a glare from their own drummer, Gareth while the others – including her – let out a collective laugh. 

“You should come to our gig sometime,” said Eddie nervously as she moved from behind the drum kit. “We play at the Hideout on Tuesdays. Maybe you could even join us on stage for a song or something?” 

She smiled at him, causing him to go absolutely feral. “Yeah, that would be fun.” 

The following Tuesday, Eddie was more nervous for their gig than he had ever been. He wasn’t certain if she was even going to be there. She said she would be, and for some reason, he totally and genuinely believed her. 

He hadn’t been able to think about something else but her. 

And yet he was still surprised when he saw her entering the Hideout during their set. 

She looked stunning, especially in that pair of jeans, the black tank top and the leather jacket. It was a completely different look from what he’s used to seeing her in at school. If she wore that at school, he’d have tried talking to her earlier. 

“We have a special guest in the crowd tonight…” The words rolled off Eddie’s lips before he could stop them. “Everyone, give it up for her!” He pointed at her with a slight smirk pulling at his lips. None of the drunks in the crowd even reacted, but he didn’t care. All he could see was the grin on her face and the sparkle in her eyes. 

“Why don’t you come up here?” Jeff suggested, cocking his head slightly. 

She shot the boys a confused look and shook her head. Eddie could tell she was just trying to be polite, so he gave her an encouraging nod. The girl’s eyes flicked back and forth between Eddie and Gareth before the latter got up from his seat behind the drums, vacating his spot for the girl to take. 

Hesitatingly at first, she got up on the stage and sat down on the stool. Eddie watched her for a moment as she grabbed the drum sticks and twirled them around, getting familiar with the kit in front of her. 

“What song have you got up your sleeve?” Grant asked her, away from the mic so the crowd wouldn’t hear. 

Her lips pursed together in thought for a moment. “You guys know your AC/DC?” 

All three remaining boys nodded their heads, and Eddie’s mind immediately went to Girls Got Rhythm and when the kick drum kicked in at the same time he started plucking away at his guitar, he knew he had guessed correctly. 

The girl smiled at him, causing him to go weak in the knees. He had to turn back to his microphone before he’d melt right on the spot like ice cream in the sun on a warm summer’s day. 

Grant and Jeff quickly picked up on the song and started playing along with them, recreating the infamous beats of the 70s band’s. 

“I've been around the world I've seen a million girls Ain't one of them got What my lady she's got”

The crowd’s interest piqued as soon as the song started playing, especially with the new drummer at the back of the stage.  

“She's stealin' the spotlight Knocks me off my feet She's enough to start a landslide Just a walkin' down the street”

Eddie glanced back at her for a second, witnessing her head banging along to the beat, much like she had done days prior when the boys had found her in the music classroom on the drums. 

“Wearing dresses so tight And looking dynamite Enough to blow me out No doubt about it can't live without it”

Together with Grant and Jeff, they lapsed into the chorus. Eddie took the lead vocals while the other boys backed him up. 

“The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) The girl's got rhythm”

Eddie turned towards her as he shredded on the guitar. Their eyes locked and he swore a spark crackled between them. She was energy and passion and everything Eddie had ever dreamed of. 

“She's like a lethal brand Too much for any man She gives me first degree She really satisfies me”

“Love me till I'm legless Aching and sore Enough to stop a freight train Or start the Third World War”

“You know I'm losin' sleep I'm in too deep Like a body needs blood No doubt about it, can't live without it”

Eddie noticed how the crowd was bobbing their heads along to the song. This was the first time they had ever gotten any interaction from the crowd, even if it was just a minor thing like a little head-bop. 

“The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) The girl's got rhythm”

Eddie hopped onto the small stage the drums were situated on and propped his leg up on her kick drum. As the girl smashed at her drums, his fingers slid across his strings. He noticed her nose scrunching up when her eyes fell on his fingers, playing his guitar like he had never done. 

“You know she moves like sin And when she lets me in It's like liquid love No doubt about it, can't live without it”

“The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) You know she really got the rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) Rock 'n' roll rhythm (rock n roll rhythm) The girl's got rhythm”

The crowd applauded – they actually applauded – when the song came to an end. Glancing back at the girl behind him, Eddie couldn’t help but mirror the wide smile on her face. She had absolutely loved doing that, there was no denying that. 

And he loved witnessing her and doing it with her. 

“Ladies and gentlemen, the best drummer of Hawkins.”

“You know, that actually wasn’t bad,” she said when Eddie approached her right after the gig. 

She was leaning against the bar with one bottle of beer in her hand and four on the bartop right beside her. Eddie tried to ignore the flutter in his stomach at the thought of her thinking of buying them drinks for after their set. 

“That wasn’t bad?!” Gareth exclaimed in disbelief. “That was the tightest we ever played! And you actually got the crowd moving!” He held out his fist for her to bump hers to, which she giddily did. 

The girl scoffed. “You could hardly call that moving, but sure… Happy to help.” She clinked her beer bottle to Gareth’s in a cheer before taking a sip. Her eyes then focused on Eddie, who was intensely staring at her too, hoping the boys would actually leave them alone for two seconds. Or more. 

“I’m gonna go and… do … something…” said Jeff unconvincingly, nudging Gareth and Grant with his elbow to follow. The two boys mumbled something about helping Jeff, but most of what came out of their mouths was incomprehensible. 

Eddie nervously bit his lip as her focus came back from the mumbling bunch. “Hi,” he chuckled, not daring to look her directly in the eye. 

“Hi,” she said back. “You were amazing up there. I always love watching you play.” 

Ignoring the heat that rose up to his cheeks, he perked up at that. “You’ve seen me play before?” 

“Yep,” she replied. “My father owns the Hideout and my sister works the bar most Tuesdays.” 

“How–” Eddie’s brows furrowed. “How have I never seen you before?” 

She shrugged in response. “I’m mostly hiding behind the bar or with the sound guy.” He followed where her finger was pointing at the sound booth. The guy was now playing some old playlist of his, one he always used on Tuesdays, Eddie noticed. 

“I can’t believe I didn’t know our head cheerleader was actually the coolest chick alive,” Eddie mumbled, shaking his head. 

“Eh, you can’t always believe the masks we put on at school.” 

Eddie took a sip from his beer. “I don’t believe in those masks – It’s forced conformity, if you ask me.” 

“Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do…” 

“Is that something you gotta do?” he asked. “Be a cheerleader, wear the outfit? I mean – don’t you just wanna be you? Fully-fledged, unapologetically you?” 

Her hand lifted to the necklace around her neck. “Who said I wasn’t?” 

“I mean…” Eddie let out a nervous chuckle. “You’re telling me you’d rather be seen as a preppy cheerleader than this cool rock chick that’s standing in front of me right now?” 

She smiled at him and tilted her head a little. “I suppose I’ve always liked the best of both worlds? I don’t really change my personality, no matter what I wear. I don’t pretend not to like rock bands when I’m in my cheerleader outfit and I don’t pretend not to love a good pop song and dance while I’m in… this,” she pointed at the outfit she was currently wearing. 

Eddie had never thought about it that way. He never thought about the fact that the cheerleaders might just enjoy being cheerleaders and the jocks might enjoy being jocks. Maybe his ideas were a little selfish and hateful towards his classmates. 

“I never thought about it that way…” he mumbled. “I always thought all cheerleaders and jocks were just mean bitches – no offense.” 

“Oh, none taken. We totally are.” 

Eddie waited a beat until she started laughing, to chuckle too. At first, he thought she was being completely serious, but he wasn’t entirely sure. 

“You’ve always been the only one to show me and my friends the light of day. I knew there was something wrong with you,” Eddie said, laughing a little as she did, too. It was becoming one of Eddie’s favorite sounds, second to the sound of a shredding guitar. 

“What can I say, Munson? I’m a freak like you.” 

She totally was, and that was what he loved most about her.
