oh, i know you would. it's you and me, and chatting now — i see this good energy and such already. we'll be like a vibe together, i just feel it. though we could test it sometime, gives me a reason to hang with you. i would, yes ! i'd be honoured you wearing my clothing and raving on it. great, so fucking great. yes — i mean, we'll get a whole album out soon. they are, fuck — might need to properly doing one. only had whole set recordings before. damn, you're selling me. i'll bring it up to my people and maybe it's next for waterparks.

Going to be your co-host? What makes you think that I would be good at that? I could completely side rail your show and you'd never forgive me. You'd want me to be a model for your clothing line? How's the music coming along? Got something new coming out soon? I mean, tour concert movies really are what everyone is doing at the moment so I say that you do that for your next tour. I'll be sat there and watching it.

oh shit, that's crazy ! i've never written any and never read any then and now i don't either. only did the one time for the podcast and shit as i was on a work break in 2020 and we were bored. felt weird as hell, but also like — some of those writers are great ! i agree, my ocd ass has routines for a lot in my life and order that's needed.

When I was in school I had friends that would read and write horrible One Direction fan fiction and they would want me to read it, but I could never do it. I love that though, routines are good for the soul, especially in the careers that we have.

fuck yeah ! red is great, isn't it ? i love this chapter for you ! i'll have to rock some red hair at a future performance you do from the sounds of it. we do and i think mine, i have a few — but the style for me has been the same for ass long as time. i did, it was like a light pink when i actually did it. i had a red turn pink and that shit was sick too and maybe there's a new future pink awsten. i am too, it'll be amazing !

hell yeah! red feels very fitting for this era of my career - it's giving i don't give a fuck and taking back control. closing one chapter and the start of another. surely we all have some hair and/or style regrets from the past. ha, i bet you still rocked the pink hair though. looking forward to it! it's gonna be such a vibe.

awsten: you make me the happiest guy alive, lucy. 🥰 i'd love to be an official thing with you, and deal with you always. look, we can go to the music festival hand in hand, cute as hell. yeah? but you're like amazing and beautiful and just the best. without me seeing? real fucking shame here. they'd adore me too, btw.

awsten: i'm glad you thought so, almost wore a suit but wanted to save it. so just went nice button down. sometimes, i think good company makes it worth going though. i'm comfortable, especially with you, baby.

luce: i would be honored to go on a date with you, awsten 😍 official, huh? you want to put up with me for longer than just one date? i'm already pitying you, haha. stop itttttt. you've got me all blushing and red. and possibly kicking my feet, which has both my fur children staring at me oddly. luce: you were looking wonderful yourself, cutie. do you like to go to things like that? i know some people aren't into it and for future reference, i want to make sure you're comfortable in it.

[itsawsten]

this is going to give me such an ego boost and make me cocky as fuck, i'm so ready for it. i need something in my home with this title now. ooh — fuck yeah, i so will. i'll come your way when i need to be hyped then or just feeling down or want it. also of course to hang and such at times. i am, i give the best, come on now. i won't, i think i'd use my performance ego and give the best.

Blond overlord is a title you’ve absolutely earned, so wear it proudly. And yes, it really does just keep getting better, consider me your hype woman/bestie for life at this point. Ohhh, now we're talking. That’s basically the dream package. You’re setting the bar very high. Just don’t be surprised when I start demanding encore performances on top of it.

[itsawsten]

you're not wrong there as i've seen some friends be really fucking messed up ! i'm glad mine aren't too bad, honestly. well, i wouldn't say secrets but like — i have shared a lot, like what my parents do for work, how i met my band members and our main photographer. they also know my favourite foods, colour, music, shows and i tap into kayne west energy before doing a show as it gets me pumped. just like — we all have our things, you know what i mean and these are mind and then we connect or chat and they send me fuck shit.

Hey, every fan base is different. I like it when you can just sit back and laugh like friends with your fans, it's fun. I think everyone does that though. You want to seem relatable so you tell more and more of your secrets and hoping people can relate to whatever you say.

[itsawsten]

that i am — i also have a book out in the world. i want to be known as multi-talented over just some musician. thanks and i'm sorry ? yes, and thank you ! i do enjoy that show as well and look ❛ hoarders ❜ is my reality tv kryptonite — and ❛ my strange addiction ❜ had me for a time as well.

Oh, so you're just out here casually running fashion, fragrance and music all at once? I'm equal parts inspired and intimidated. 30 Rock, It’s Always Sunny, and The Office? Peak comedy. Your taste is immaculate, my friend. Are you a Parks and Rec fan too? And wait… Hoarders? You’re so delightfully unwell for that and I love it.

[itsawsten]

i think there's times we all don't always listen or appreciate shit, but look - in time you learn and really adapt with the advice. thanks ! yeah, does that include me, sammy boy ?

People, well me doesnt appreciate that enough and well I see it pal. I can certainly see it and good for you man. Thats causally what I do for those I love.

[itsawsten]

you think i'd be good at that ? i'd just throw in yours that you're gonna be my co-host if all things fail. though also tempted to make it something about being a model for my clothing line. aww, thanks ! i mean, i could — just need to think of an idea for it, as well, my mind is on music currently. shit, i could do a reality show just like letting the world see me and the band on a deeper more inmate level maybe, and with tour diaries. perfect way to brand our comeback.

Feels like you should be creating random bios for everyone - have a go at making my new one, please and thank you. It's been forever since I updated it. I believe in your hosting skills, too. Maybe you should just create your own reality show at this point. Day in the life of a musician or something like that. People eat those sorts of things up, especially when musicians are on tour. They wanna know every detail that goes into creating a show.

[itsawsten]

they're mean to me and bully me, what do you mean ? i'm joking, we do, it's all fun and i've flirted some before, mostly for a good mood boost, you know what i mean ? they do, it's why i stepped back some, plus as you get bigger things can get so crazy ! i have but probably doesn't help i shared a lot over time from my humble beginnings as a teen trying to make this band thing work.

I think that's good that you have a healthy relationship with your fans, I feel like parasocial relationships have gotten so out of hand, especially with social media. Was there ever a time were you like were like 'Whoa, these people that I have barley met know so much about me?' and it was kind of mind blowing?

[itsawsten]

because you're an amazing singer and actress and it'd be a dream to work with you on something one day. promise nothing else — maybe we could hang though and be like the best of friends as well, though. i mean it's you ! fuck yeah, we're so doing this, yes !

Is there a reason you're buttering me up, Knight? This feels only mildly suspicious. Well, lucky for you, I've got a tad of free time between now and For Good press really taking off, so -- are we doing this, or what?

[itsawsten]

awsten: is that so? well, you're only making this itch worse so, would you like to go out on a date with me, lucy? i need to treat a beauty like you right and maybe if i'm lucky we'll become something official ;) you get me! how can i not be just so infatuated by you?

awsten: sounds good to me too. too tempting to resist, right? i'm glad we're on the same page. ah, alright. i will say you looked stunning there and glad i got to go with you.

luce: if you ever get the itch to ask for a date, then go for it! i will never - ever - say no. especially when it's you asking ;) i had the best eye candy on my arm. that's awesome, though! you really do make great songs. they're catchy and get stuck in your head for days, even weeks after being heard. luce: another in person sounds like a good idea to me. especially with the cuddles and scalp scritches being tossed in there. i miss you too when you're away, just so you know it's not a one way street. i loved the vow renewal! if you thought you saw me crying, it was just dust in my eyes haha

[itsawsten]

now i'm feeling really special here, never thought the day would come i was called a blond overlord. i will with you. someone who gets me — it's just better each time, right ? sounds like we're best friends now, so i'll share with you. all for you, i give my friends the fucking best. you will, it's how i work, so enjoy it.

Really. I don’t hand out “favorite” status lightly, you’ve earned it, blond overlord. And please, lean into the ego. You’re allowed to bask a little when you’re putting out bangers. Oh, you know I’d never share it. I take sacred sneak peeks very seriously. Pinky swear, scout’s honor, all of it. And a video of you singing a couple of the new songs? That’s basically the VIP treatment. I’m gonna start getting spoiled.

my hair era right now is blond and having all the fun with the waterparks comeback. it has all to do with the music really as it all goes with my condition mostly just i can by chance recall my life through it all. i think the confidence and shit was all by chance more than the colour — but who knows unless i bring the colours back. i bet you were.

whatever hair era you are in right now i hope it's going well for you. i know the hair color really has nothing to do with it and it's all you, but i get how the color kind of helps with the confidence in what we do. kinda makes me miss my blonde era. i was fierce during it.

[itsawsten]

fuck yeah ! great, when do you finish ? i got a tour myself soon as well as reading & leeds. aside from that, i'm pretty free to hang. i wasn't planning to but, i got inspired by other bands i enjoy. they took one and came back with better shit so — i'm like fuck, let's do that.

you know what he’ll yeah, let’s do it. i’ll be finishing up tour soon and we can hang out. nothing like a hiatus, i wish i knew what that was not it was like everytime i try and take one i don’t really take one.

[itsawsten]

i did such with a podcast with a friend of mine back in like 2020ish, i'm not as present on that now but — i'm familiar and sometimes my fans tell me shit too. we're all so honest with each other and shit, you know ? i'd never go find it though but gave me and the guys a good chuckle and fuck — some fans write amazingly and should do more than write that. i get it though, trust me. i say keep it that way.

I am gonna be honest, I have never read a fanfic of myself or one of my friends, ever. It's just..I don't know, kinda feels like an invasion of privacy towards them. For me, it's like 'Oh gosh, they made me sexier than I am' haha. I don't discredit fanfic writers and I never will, everyone has a hobby and as long as it's done with respect, it's all good in my book.
