#posting him with otter and delly...

[starscelly]

stuck in my office in the snow scrolling through your flying stars au tag, if perchance you would also like to have some brain dumping time I would love to hear about what the vibes are like on the road!

I have love listening to their playlists bc they overlap with my taste so much, but introduce me to new music as well, thank you for putting them together!

omggg 1. im glad you enjoy the playlists!!!! i put off making them for like. since i made the au lol but im really happy i did because i do rlly like how they turned out and im glad you agree :3 :3 <3

2. suuuch a fun question because i was literally thinking the other day about how like. the flying stars are Just Big Enough that i can have them have fun stuff like roadies and consistent shows and dedicated fans but Just Small Enough that i dont have to consider big fame and can have wyjo run a merch table and stuff like That. and going on the road for shows is for Sure under that umbrella of them being the perfect size for it to be fun to consider lol !!!

they are for suuuure in the worlds shittiest tour bus to ever exist, 3 pairs of bunk beds and everyones trying to sleep with each other all the time fdsjkfkds generationally unbearable (roughly following this floor plan but not really but kinda) i think On The Bus they have, obviously, miro roope otter robo on the two bunk beds across from each other and then well. they WANT harls and tydel as their trusted roadies on the other two bunk beds. but their openers are following them in an Even Worse van and hey would you look at that. they keep disappearing. mostly tydel bc harls likes to spend his free time bothering otter and robo and then staring at miro and roope but. occasionally the urge to go hang out with the younger guys comes over him.

(i also dont think ive posted this before bc i did wanna do it with character sheets but. ive been lazy. so without going into specifics their opening band IS wyjo + nils + mav + stank + bäck. all crammed in a van)

i think because of the size differences of the two vehicles every time they stop you really do get just a wild scramble of people switching but the flying stars do NOT really leave the bus. i think the younger guys kinda swap who gets the two bunks, occasionally theyll come crash on the teeny tiny couches or god forbid at the dining table booth thing. sometimes theres the expected 6 in the bus, 5 in the van. but more often theres like, 9 in the bus 2 in the van, 7 in the van 4 in the bus, etc etc.

this doesnt include their driver who i dont think needs to be a Staple of the Stars but would be fun to be a rotating cast member from the stars. one of those guys we all kinda get into for a season or two and then he disappears ie a csmith or a cmiller . a jhanley even!

BUT GENERAL SHENANIGANS RATHER THAN TECHNICALITIES like u were actually probably hoping for LOL.

i think theyre pretty clean and not super crazy rockstar lifestyle making everyones lives miserable - helped infinitely by miro and otter's den mother instincts as well as insistence from wyjo + bäck that they need to help clean whenever they come hang out on the bus because ): its just Nice to Do...

also because the total lack of two person space, the van DOES have the appeal of um. well . getting down and nasty. whenever they make a long stop and they guys are just kinda milling around for a few hours that Van is Rockin. tydel buys a sticker for it eventually that says if the van is rocking dont come knocking and everyone wants to kill him about it (mostly harls. Actual Owner of the van)

some like. rapid fire fun tidbits i guess! because otherwise i will spend all day writing long musing paragraphers lol!!!

whenever it's wyjo's turn to drive the van delly. shocker. is in there. and wyatt has driven actually maybe 30 miles the whole fucking tour because delly is like ahhh i can do it dont worry :D

sometimes nils and oskar get on the van with the flying stars and robo and otter (notorious swede lovers) just Observe Them interacting with miro and roope like a nature documentary... They Think They Like Each Other??? But They Also Keep Insulting Each Other's Whole Cultures.... Its Confusing

sometimes hair dyeing takes place in the teeny tiny shower. usually for roope. sometimes wyjo or nils need a touch up. every time its bad. every time they almost flood the fucking bus.

Manager Joe will come hang out on the bus if hes going to be at one of their shows, Manager Joe will NOT be stepping foot near that van because he KNOWS whats been going on in there with his pseudo son.... the vans rocking sticker........ sickos....

somebody hotboxes the van once (nobody will confess to it being them) and the sticking smell eventually pisses everyone off so bad for days that they only communicate in terse one to two word responses (and this is why nobody will confess) (i will though. its mav and stank. and guess whos complaining the loudest. mav)

robo almost gets tattooed on the bus once because roope swears he can do it and they get real fucking close before otter reminds him what theyve done at that table hes about to get tattooed on. numerous times. and robo is like. oh. i actually dont want to get an infection and die. and then miro and roope are mad as fok because what do you mean that was a Surface Option this whole time and also WHEN ARE YOU GUYS DOING THAT

theyre all just sharing clothes at some point. nobody knows what belongs to who. their wardrobes will never recover. stank almost wore oskar's pants once and didnt even notice somehow.

one night they have to keep stopping the bus because their driver is experiencing an Illness and theyre all like damn this sucks. and harls is like well I could just drive for a few hours. and this is how they unlock harls Lore ("you have a cdl?????" "im forklift certified too" "WHY")

but also he doesnt often volunteer to drive because. they have someone for that. and also he wants to hang with the fellers..

they can never agree on food when stopping so they can never just Go To a Restaurant. they have to go to one of those strip rest stops with like 6 different eateries. and then its always just like roope and wyjo getting something different from the group because they just whine the loudest abt it and everyone else was fine

the aux is a NIGHTMARE. the girls are all fighting. usually theres enough overlap they can kinda decide an order or queue that makes sense for them. except miro. they do not let miro pick the music. ever.

as up each others asses they are 24/7 while traveling, they do actually really respect the Need for Privacy to an extent. if miro and roope are having a quiet conversation on the couches robo and otter will go hang out in their bunks or in the van, they let wyjo spread a puzzle out on the table when he needs time away and nobody bothers him about it (that much), sometimes stank and mav request private driving time, robo will take a minute or two to sit up with the driver alone, etc etc
