⋆˚࿔ jock!billie x colorguard!reader headcanons

surprise (more like jumpscare) i do colorguard and need to publish at least one self indulgent cg!r x jock!billie thing. 🫀

if you’re not familiar with colorguard here’s a simple rundown: it’s a performance sport where you combine dance with spinning equipment. our equipment includes flags, rifles, and sabre. there’s an indoor and outdoor season, outdoor is marching band. i’ll stop yapping so here is that.

at a football game:

colorguard!r who cheers extra loud when jock!billie is announced from the box with the rest of the seniors as the team breaks through the cheer team’s banner for that week.

jock!billie who blows a kiss up towards the band section confusing her usual group of fangirls vying for her attention.

colorguard!r who sneaks away from the rest of the team rushing inside to get performance ready to wish jock!billie good luck on the field before the game starts (you know billie gets cranky without a pre-game kiss).

“my coach is gonna notice i’m gone.”

“just another kiss please, baby. need all the luck i can get.”

jock!billie who always pouts about you missing the first 3 quarters.

“but i’m sure your coach will understand if you tell her how much you need to watch your girl—and the star player—play.”

“billie i have to be in warm up.”

“but you miss me kicking actual butt out there. by the time you get to watch i’ve benched whatever suckers they tried to put on our field.”

colorguard!r who performs at halftime and of course jock!billie sneaks away from the rest of the football team during huddle to give a good luck kiss.

“catch everything and don’t hit anyone.”

“i never do bills.” you laugh

“well maybe accidentally hit that sax player, he’s been making eyes at you.”

jock!billie who ignores your directors and the band members who eye her whenever she does this.

“o’connell i’m sure coach redford needs you.”

“he’s got it. he believes in supporting the band every way we can.” she grins wickedly as you stare down at the track instead of making eye contact with your band director.

jock!billie who cheers the loudest when you take the field.

colorguard!r who can hear their name as they set up and knowing it was billie

jock!billie who never takes her eyes off you except to shush the rowdy student section who never respects the band.

jock!billie who gets in trouble with her coach when she’s caught trying to carry your equipment for you back inside.

- “o’connell! you’re back on the field in 3!”

- “coach she basically just ran 5 laps while smiling. my girl can’t carry her own stuff!”

jock!billie who makes sure to really put her game face on when you finally get to watch the fourth quarter—the scoreboard tied.

jock!billie who looks for your face first the moment she kicks a field goal and scores the winning 3 points as the clock runs out.

jock!billie who kisses you on the field as the crowd rushes it. your show makeup still on.

- “so glad i had my good luck kiss.”

outside a game:

jock!billie who uses the school’s track to run knowing you have practice that day in the peak of the summer heat wave just so she can see you sweaty in a sports bra. even though she can see you in the same condition in less clothing whenever she wants.

jock!billie who offers to pick you up from practice so she can hear your exhausted rants. she listens intently, smiling at your flushed face that keeps rambling when it needs to rest instead.

“this stupid sax player keeps standing in my drill and gets mad at me when he gets hit!”

“i’ll punt that nerd if you need me to, baby.”

jock!billie who gets distracted and stares at your lips.

“did you hear me?”

“huh? oh yeah. he’s an idiot and you’re right.”

“i know, thank you!”

jock!billie just chuckles and pushes a fallen piece of hair from your braid behind your ear as you continue unaware of her gaze.

jock!billie who attends all your competitions, no matter how far away they are.

“billie it’s 5 hours away in texas.”

“i can’t miss seeing you perform, baby. need to support my girl…and the band i guess.”

jock!billie who makes you teach her a toss and is amazed by any tricks you can do.

“is it like thi- OW! shit that hurts. baby, you do this for fun?”

“well I don’t get hit…”

jock!billie who practically drools the first time she sees that season’s costume on you. a tight unitard in a color that made your eyes pop with cutouts along your shoulders and sides.

“why do these nerds get to see you like this and not just me?” she asks while pulling you in, hands on your waist.

jock!billie who skips her first period weights class to watch you at morning practices on the field. your face natural and framed by baby hairs curled with sweat, keeping warm in the autumn chill in one of her hoodies.

“miss o’connell i hope your coach knows where you are.”

“of course! i’m on my way back from the bathroom.” she cheekily smiles at your coach as you hide your face in your hands on the field.

jock!billie who’s teammates catch her staring at you when you walk by.

“‘cmon guys. i never see my girl with our busy schedules.” she replies with her self assured cadence being betrayed by her pink cheeks.

jock!billie who didn’t fully understand what color guard was until she dated you.

“so that’s what those people do? wow, my girl is so talented. she dances with poles…”

“oh shut up billie!”

a/n. heyyyy… this is my first published fic in a long time, first billie and first tumblr fic. hope you enjoyed it, sorry if the colorguard topic isn’t too interesting but i wanted to get something posted to prove to myself i can do it. i do take requests! 🫀

[i-luv-honjoong]

No bc this how we actually be looking like

[quibbs126]

I’m remembering I had this color guard instructor, and we’d do drills to songs, but this one I know would play K-pop for some of them. I think it was just songs he liked that had timing that worked. I think that’s what my other one did too, he just had different tastes

Anyways, I’m listening to Takedown, and honestly, I can 100% see him using it for a drill. Probably cones

Other people who do color guard, can you verify that Takedown works for cones?

Final day of FemBlitzWeek on Bluesky: Sports! 🏳

I chose color guard. Clearly everyone's favorite sport.

[flightlesstrash]

been thinking about what instruments ace attorney characters would've played as band kids, and i've reached a few conclusions:

original trilogy characters:

miles edgeworth: we already know he used to play the flute so obviously that, i think he would also have learned how to play piano and violin at home. maybe he'd even be in color guard at some point!! then later on, maybe junior year and onwards, he'd be the drum major

phoenix wright: this one was tricky at first but then it hit me - he wanted to sit next to edgeworth in class so he based his decision entirely on miles' (sound familiar?) however, they never actually end up sitting next to each other because phoenix usually gets close to last chair and miles always gets first chair. maybe he joins edgeworth in color guard and ends up really good at it, becoming the captain after a year or two! the idea of him being a drum major with edgeworth is frickin adorable, i'm still unsure about it though. maybe he could help out color guard in his free time? very conflicted about this as i think he would really love being in color guard but also. they would be AMAZING drum majors together. so i'm leaning towards yes on drum major in senior year

larry butz: despite wanting to sit with edgeworth and phoenix, he thought flutes were too "girly" so he tried to learn the saxophone because he thought it would be cool and he'd have girls falling for him (i've witnessed this phenomenon many times). he could NOT make a sound on one without squeaking horrendously, though, so he ended up playing trombone instead after playing trumpet for a bit and being forced to switch because he was WAY. TOO. LOUD. (he was miserable for awhile after being switched each time, he thought he was doing amazing.....) let's be honest, he's a band drop out and switches to art once it becomes an alternative for an art credit. he still watches the band play for nick and edgey at games, though!

maya fey: this was another hard one, but i think she would play saxophone. it just fits!!! some other contenders were percussion (in the pit for marching season) and trombone or baritone

pearl fey: my initial gut reaction was flute, and while i didn't wanna choose something so blatantly obvious, i also can't ignore WHY it's so blatantly obvious. so, flute player it is (occasionally playing the piccolo for concert season)

mia fey: this one was TOUGH my goodness. i landed on bari sax but im still not completely sold, so feel free to suggest something better lol

godot: now THIS is a saxophone player if i've ever seen one. i think he knows tenor and bari, but only plays tenor for band stuff. he's usually the one who gets the solos because of course he does. he and mia play killer sax duets together for solo and ensemble :3

franziska von karma: at first i was thinking flute because she would wanna have that rivalry with edgeworth, but i think she'd actually play french horn!! she'd know piano and violin along with him anyway, so that's where the rivalry can be. maybe color guard for marching season? i think she'd like "accidentally" dropping rifles on miles during practice, hehe

dick gumshoe: TUBA. omg tuba. it's perfect. at first he wouldn't be sure what to play, so it's recommended to him because he'd be able to carry it easily and have the lungs for it. he'd fall in love with it pretty fast!

apollo justice characters:

apollo justice: trumpet. need i even say more.

trucy wright: clarinet OBVIOUSLY like this isn't even up for discussion. you could make an argument for french horn, but it's not even close. she also ends up in color guard, they basically make magic happen on the field so she'd love it! i could see her being captain of the color guard, too. when phoenix finds out, he gets all emotional and trucy gets stoked that she's following in her father's footsteps. i think she would become drum major at some point, and miles upon learning this would also become an emotional mess

kristoph gavin: this is the french horniest french horn that's ever french horned. i'm sorry i don't make the rules.

klavier gavin: he might play guitar, but not in band. he'd be a percussionist HANDS DOWN. i think he'd wanna be in drumline during marching season so he could be on the field or he'd be in color guard. in fact, scratch that first part- he's DEFINITELY doing color guard. i was also considering him being a trumpet player since he's kind of the trumpet to kristoph's french horn (god i hope that makes sense that's just so them to me), so maybe he'd play both! he's very musically inclined, after all, so him playing multiple instruments just makes sense!

investigations characters:

shi-long lang: another saxophone! i REALLY wanted to give him trumpet because he's one of my favs and i'm biased, but. c'mon. i mean, have you HEARD his theme.

raymond shields/eddie fender: don't give him saxophone don't give him saxophone don't give him saxophone WAIT. trombone. it was so obvious!!! i'm sure he learns sax at some point, but his main instrument is trombone. i could also see him playing percussion (pit for marching season) or trumpet

if you're here, ty for listening to me nerd out about this!!! more characters may be band-geek-ified in the future :>

if anyone has any ideas of their own, i'd love to hear them!!!
