HEYY I've got a question: what instruments does everyone play? also who usually writes the songs 👀

A hyperactive imp runs into frame, grabbing the camera and raising it up before exploding into a greeting 

“The people asked so the people will receive!! Don’t look at the gap between the posts, it isn't real and it can’t hurt me!!”

“Gonna just use this as a way to let you all know about the others. Just for funzies!! You’re gonna love em, I promise!” Tobi places the camera down and begins to rummage around his room, tail wagging around in the air as he does. “But FIRST… I’ll show you what I do!!” Loud clashing fills the room as things are flung around as Tobi searches for their instrument, eventually he resurfaces after noticing it was leaned up against the wall in broad daylight. He promptly grabs it and holds it up as if it were a cool fish he just caught.

“I play lead guitar!! I’m not the best vocalist or anything but our frontman lets me tag in whenever he needs a rougher voice and doesn’t want to talk to our bassist! So like, usually.”

They smile, but in the way a child who just saw their parents who are desperately in need of a divorce argue for the 5th time that day would.

“I really like playing guitar. I sorta got into it thanks to one of my uncles, he had an old one lying around from his old rocker days and let me play it when I was a kid and eventually my parents got me one as a gift when I turned 13 and I've been doing it ever since! I'm pretty sure if you look around you can find some old covers of mine. Don't listen to them, they suck!"

They put their guitar down and get closer to the camera once again

“That’s enough on me though, I’ll go grab the others! Cedar’s on the couch right now so I’ll go get him first! Be right back!"

The imp comes back a few moments later, dragging a somewhat groggy looking human into the room by the sleeve of his hoodie. His square glasses seemingly just frantically adjusted and his hair shaggy and messy, the type of existence you can only really achieve after being suddenly awoken from an accidental couch nap. 

“Are you sure they asked for me specifically?” His voice was tired and monotone - but not angry. More just bewildered.

“Well they asked for the whole band but one person asked about who writes for us plus you’re like, the easiest person to find usually considering the fact you just kind of rot on the couch-” “I get it Tobi- You don’t have to-” “I'm not saying that's bad or anything, don't worry! I know the job market’s hard for you Cece!!”

He stands there in silence, biting his tongue a little bit before deciding to change the subject “What did you need me to do again?”

“Just say your name, what you do and maybe a few things about yourself if you feel like it!” “So… basic introduction?” “Yeh!” “Alright…”

He looks to the camera, raising a hand to lazily wave at it

“Hi. I’m Cedar, I mostly handle the vocals for us… plus generally act as the songwriter for us all since some people never bothered to learn basic music theory” “Jasper knows it. He keeps rewriting your basslines, remember? He says you aren’t good at writing them.” “What does he know about that stuff-” “The actual instrument.” “Yea well- he can- he can fuckin…” Cedar’s face regresses into sour frustration as he struggles to think of a response to that. Tobi pipes up again after a prolonged awkward silence

"y'know there's still a bonus bit of info you can give... how'd you get into what you do?"

Cedar seems to be snapped out of his bubbling fit of rage by the question. He takes a moment to think before answering "I don't know... bunch of stuff, really. Mostly an old friend. He showed me how to pirate music and some bands from over here and I thought it was pretty cool. Tried making my own stuff and that's what got me into songwriting." "What about the singing though" "I did uh... what's the word.... that thing where people sing... in like, a big group and uh..." "Choir?" "Yea. Yea Choir." "Huh... I can kinda see it honestly!! Dunno how you forgot the word choir though." "Tobi." "Oh. yea, right, sorry..." He clicks his tongue as a sense of embarrassment forms within him from his blunder before making a sudden recovery, "Anything else you wanna say before you go?" “Don’t listen to anything that blue haired dickhead says about me.” “Cool… cool cool cool… You gonna go back to the couch?” “Nah, bed. Night.” “Cedar it's 2pm…” “I know.”

He walks away, leaving Tobi alone in the room once again. He remembers the camera is still rolling and to get back on with entertaining “SO! That was Cedar! I promise he’s cool to be around aha- Great at what he does though! Don’t think we’d be able to function without him!”

They put their hands on their hips and make popping sounds with their lips as they think of what to do next, eventually remembering a pretty important bit of information "So uh... I'm pretty sure the others aren't home right now. One's at work and the other one just kinda wanders sometimes? He'll probably be back in like, an hour or something. My phones about to die soon too so I'll just make this one a 2-parter!"

He throws up a peace sign before ending the recording

@bentbottlecap i LOVE RALSEI DELTARUNE!!! hyped for the new chapters this year!!!!

[noctiva]

tiva my darling my everythang… as soon as i thought about this i had to bring it to you and every anon here.. hear me out on puppy boy toby with a equally puppy reader. I JUST KNOW THEYD BE INSUFFERABLE TOGETHER…. tim and brian having to just stand there as these two idiots are grinding up on each other, marking their scent on each other, etc etc… and i know rut cycles GET WORSE. like ho why is my entire cabin moving can you guys stop! ( dont stop toby im so close )

-🐇

PUPPY!TOBY IS HAUNTING MY BLOG LMAOOOOO

I get it I get it and you my dear bunny anon are on to something

they would actually be the worst. scenting, licking, biting, play fighting that turns into something much more. king and queen of PDA and everyone else will simply just have to deal with it.

also? yeah. your heat would end up syncing up with his rut once you’re together long enough, and when that happens???? ohhhhhh boyyyyy. talk about a week long fuckfest. both of you so delirious with lust that neither of you will even think about taking a break until you’re both sated.

the room - fuck it - the whole cabin would be in complete disarray. because he’s fucking you on the bed, kitchen table, bathroom counter, literally anywhere and everywhere. no one better come knocking because his possessiveness will be off the charts when you’re like this. he would much rather rip someone’s throat out than let them have the chance of even catching a glimpse of you while you’re in heat.

[the-forgotten-one1]

I feel sometimes Toby has small fleeting moments when he remembers Lyra and has breakdowns but they only last for a few moments and when he forgets again all he knows is there’s some huge void he needs to fill. So something with the song in my room by Julia wolf fits him so well!

I probably could have added some things in the background but I got a little too ✨lazy✨

Still happy with how this turned out though! It was fun thinking of a pose that would fit. Another good song btw 👀

Wait shit you must be having a fuckin field day with the new *way too overly attached* lines and tweets from gaster holy shit. He's reciprocating your feelings congrats 🎉♥️♥️♥️

Meanwhile I'm like ",okay grandpa let's get you back to bed.,"

it legit took me 4 hours to sit and actually download deltarune because i had to lay down on the day

i love it when he does the thing where he sounds to be unintentionally invading your personal space. some will blush and faint(me), others will be genuinely creeped out (something that happened). yes please keep being a weirdo old man this is great characterization i love when my mad scientists are strange yet genuine and kind 🙏

there were no deeper conotations. he was summoning us back just like the first time through the soul, and it was pounding back to life with the final countdown after so long laying idle. he is glad to be having this wonderful experience with this intelligent force from beyond he's not even sure what it is, to be able to witness exactly the full extention of our power, to be bewildered and to cause bewilderment.

Our beautiful connection, his greatest achievement yet. The one he gave away his life for, his gift to curious types like himself.

anyway:

AHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!!?

[cheydler]

Since she’s Texan, does Chev like buc-ee’s?

YEEHAW BROTHER

she may not look it, but she's obsessed with everything texan.

Buc-ee's, HEB, Whataburger, Dr. Pepper, you name it!

though it all started out as just a normal enjoyment (like any other texan), but then the creeps started making fun of her for being from texas, and she leaned into the joke so much that it got pretty out of hand and she became obsessed with these things LMAO

“Yo!! DUDE STOP RIGHT THERE i gotta talk at you ok i gotta put you onto some shit.” The very loud imp produces a crumpled scrap of paper from his pocket before checking it over, he then pulls out a chewed up pencil from another pocket and crosses it off

“Hook them in… check! Man I’m already nailing this Claire's gonna be so damn proud. ANYWAY hi. Hello. My name’s Tobias but please call me Tobi WITH AN I i know its weird but it makes me happy uh- uhm.”

Tobi checks another, different scrap of paper

“Oh yea… If you’re seeing this post then HOPEFULLY you’re the kind of person that likes it when dudes are silly on the internet. This blog is kind of that? I’m part of this band and we’re trying to get noticed by people n stuff so we were told to maybe make some kind of account somewhere and I suggested this!”

As he throws his hands into the air, Tobi flings the paper scraps as if they were confetti, seemingly without noticing

“Basically uh we’re just gonna hang out here and you, people of the internet, can actually get to know us n stuff.. Just me for now though, the rest of the guys aren’t really into this kind of thing. I’m sure I can sneak you all some peeks of them though! wink”

That wink was spoken. It's not clear if he actually did wink considering his choice of hairstyle

“BUT I’m sure that’s not too much of a tragedy. I’m pretty endearing when I need to be.”

…

“Ok that's all I got ta say, hope to talk more soon, bye!!!”

(vv psst, under here! vv)

Heyyyy it's me, the actual owner of this blog and creator of back alley bard (you can call me box :3 I use he/they pronouns with a HUGE preference for the he as opposed to the they) here to drop some INFORMATION and GROUND RULES for this blog. 

I'm gonna start with some boundaries/rules first though. Just to get them out the way.

Any attempts to start NSFW rp will be ignored, this blog’s lore is that it's a band’s social media so none of the lads will be having e sex on main.. Or at all, really. Also it's just a boundary thing. Flirting is fine though by all means type the foulest thing you can in the inbox if it's for funny reasons, this blog is rated a solid 16+. Speaking of that

IF YOU ARE ANY YOUNGER THAN 16 PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS BLOG. The story this blog is based off is very mature in its content so it's more of a means to deter the hypothetical fanbase from being overrun with young kids than a “I FUCKING HATE LITTLE KIDS” thing. Nothing against you guys, I just don’t really wanna write something with sexuality as a relevant recurring thing with the knowledge it's mainly 13 year olds that’re gonna engage with it. Personal comfort, if anything.

Please don’t send asks that are fourth wall breaks. This is stuff like telling Tobi he isn’t real or trying to tell them that I exist and control what he says on here. I’ll just delete your ask and block you if you try sending anymore like that

Generally just don’t be a weirdo. No Zoos, Pedos, Proshippers or Hate Speech is allowed on this blog. Zero tolerance policy I will block you on SIGHT.

Don’t be rude if it takes a while to get a response, I have a life outside of this and am currently a student and will continue to be one for the next 4 years or so. Basically don’t RUSH ME

If you have any meta questions like “oh how long have you had the boys” or “can i have a reference for tobi” please redirect them to either my art blog @unboxt (where i’m more likely to see it) or my main dump blog @basement-hobo 

DO NOT ADDRESS ME IN THE ASKS. I AM FUNCTIONALLY NOT HERE. I DO NOT EXIST ITS JUST TOBI

Ok that's all my boundaries/rules, onto the fun bit! Actual info on what this blog actually is and how it works.

As summarised by the bio back alley bard is a fictional (somewhat punk) indie rock band I created and are my ocs. They are not a real band and I have no plans to make them the next Gorillaz or Yaelokre - I do still plan to publish something big about them though!

This blog is an experimental side project to me for now so all asks are limited to just Tobi (he/they) BUT if I like doing this you guys unlock full band perms. Should mention though, this doesn’t mean I won’t show them or have tobi give any information about the band. Do with this what you will.

My main goal with this is to get people familiar with Back Alley Bard so that when I get around to really working on my goals for it I’ll have a substantial amount of people to back me up for it. Also because its a fun way to put a bit more meat on the bones of the lads (and practice drawing them)

That's basically it. Happy asking, folks!

[bimbvx]

trick or treat!!

welp since there's a disagreement between them, my vote goes for treat (sry tobs)

[2hotskulls]

i really liked your latest toby drawing, just needed to let you know

sorry this was rushed i didnt wanna leave you hanging but Thhhhank you!!!! :D

[fishiteeth]

HI guys I'm exhausted what should I draw

[finleyforevermore]

what is chromesthesia? (if you don't mind me asking)

Chromesthesia is a variant of synesthesia, where an individual sees/associates/experiences color with sounds! It can be speaking, objects, or other everyday things, but for me, I mentally associate different musical keys with colors :] usually without even thinking about it/realizing it, I'll just know "Oh this song is green" or "this song becomes purple at the key change" or something like that.
