𝗮/𝗻: hey guys! so sorry I haven’t been posting recently. I’ve been super busy with school with finals and graduation coming up! will be a lot more stories being posted during my spring break! april 7-11!

𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: lando norris x chronically online! reader

𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: the one where the chronically online reader gets publicly exposed by lando, roasts him on stream, and swears they’d never fold

𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰: cloud 9 - beach bunny

𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: none!

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・

You had a reputation. Not in a bad way—at least, not to you. Some people called you “chronically online,” but that was just a fancy way of saying you were really, really good at the internet. You were the first to catch onto memes before they went mainstream, you knew every streamer’s latest drama, and your Twitter feed was a masterclass in unhinged yet somehow lovable posts.

Lando, however, did not fully understand the depths of your internet obsession. He was online, sure, but in a different way—his world was filled with F1 updates, Twitch streams, and the occasional chaotic group chat with his fellow drivers. Meanwhile, you lived in a universe where knowing whether a brand was about to get canceled was as essential as breathing.

And yet, somehow, he was absolutely in love with you.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・

It started with a joke. Or, more accurately, it started with a tweet.

@yourhandle: “if lando norris ever called me babe i would simply evaporate”

He saw it. He saw it, and you knew he saw it because his little gremlin self had the audacity to like the tweet. He didn’t reply, didn’t quote it—just a simple like that sent your notifications into a frenzy.

Your friends went feral.

BESTIE, HELLO??

Did he just acknowledge your existence???

This is basically a marriage proposal.

You tried to act normal. Failed. DMed him something casual like, “did you just publicly expose me?”

To which he responded:

“Just testing a theory. Should I call you babe and see what happens?”

And that was the beginning of the end.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・

It wasn’t long before you found yourself in Lando’s world—whether that meant sitting on his stream, half-distracted while scrolling your phone, or joining his Discord calls just to roast his gaming skills. The internet loved your dynamic.

“Lando getting cyberbullied by his own girlfriend is my Roman Empire.”

“Y/N being a menace online and Lando just going along with it is peak relationship goals.”

“Her: ‘He’s so dumb but he’s my dumbass.’ Him: ‘I just work here, man.’”

You two were a content goldmine, even when you weren’t trying to be.

One particular night, you were both curled up on the couch, Lando setting up for a Twitch stream while you scrolled mindlessly through your phone. You weren’t paying attention until you heard your own voice.

“Guys, I have a very special guest today,” Lando said in his usual mischievous tone. “My girlfriend, who is currently ignoring me for Twitter.”

You didn’t even look up. “That’s crazy. What’s Twitter saying?”

Chat immediately erupted.

“SHE DIDN’T EVEN LOOK UP LMFAO.”

“Peak chronically online behavior.”

“Lando, blink twice if you need help.”

Lando fake pouted. “See? She doesn’t love me, chat. She loves her parasocial relationships more.”

You finally glanced at the screen. “Why would I need a parasocial relationship when I already have you to annoy in real life?”

The clip went viral within minutes.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・

Despite all your time spent online, you did, in fact, exist in the real world. And the more time you spent with Lando, the more you realized how much you liked his world too.

There was something peaceful about watching him work on his racing sim, focused and determined, even when he was grumbling under his breath about understeer. There was something nice about walking into the McLaren garage and seeing how the team operated, how much they adored him.

And there was something absolutely dangerous about the way he looked at you when he thought you weren’t paying attention.

Like right now.

You were at a race weekend, standing just outside his driver’s room, eyes glued to your phone. He was supposed to be reviewing data, but you could feel his eyes on you.

“Lando,” you said without looking up, “why are you staring at me like that?”

He didn’t even try to deny it. “I think I’ve figured out how to get you off your phone.”

That made you look up. “Oh? Do tell.”

A smirk curled at his lips. “No.”

You narrowed your eyes. “No?”

Instead of answering, he took two long strides forward, gently plucking your phone from your hands and placing it on the nearest table. Before you could protest, he had you backed up against the wall, his hands resting on either side of you.

Oh.

Oh, he was serious.

“Lando,” you said, a little breathless, “are you—”

“I like your little internet world, I do,” he murmured, voice warm and teasing. “But sometimes I think you should focus on this world. On me.”

You swallowed. “That so?”

He nodded. “Yeah. And right now, I want your undivided attention.”

Mission accomplished.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・

You weren’t going to lie—you had expected the internet to roast you once they realized that your whole brand was being chronically online, and yet Lando had somehow turned you into a simp.

And they did roast you.

“So you’re telling me Y/N was ‘if he calls me babe I’ll evaporate’ and then Lando hit her with a real-life slow burn fanfic moment???”

“POV: You thought she was a keyboard warrior but she’s actually a simp in disguise.”

“Lando pulled a ‘look at me, I’m the main character now.’”

Lando, of course, thrived off the reactions.

You were sitting next to him on the couch when he turned his phone toward you. “Look at this one—‘Y/N has spent her entire internet existence roasting men, and yet all it took was one good wall pin for her to fold.’”

You glared at him. “I hate you.”

He grinned. “No, you don’t.”

You groaned, shoving his face away playfully before burying your head in your hands. “I will never live this down.”

He pulled you into his side, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “Nope. Never.”

And for the first time in a long time, you didn’t feel the need to check your phone.

YOUR BIGGEST FAN, joe burrow

pairings ➸ onlyfans!joe burrow x roommate!reader

warnings ➸ au, sex working, mentions of twitter, light smut, joe being a bit of a perv (?), roommate!reader's nickname is angel, joe with another woman (spookyyy).

a/n ➸ pleaseeee realize and understand that this a AU (alternative universe) where joe is a OF star, this fictional work has nothing to do with how joe acts and/or does irl. so please don’t start 😭 i just thought this would be cute and fun to write (which it was !) bon appetit! let me know if you would like to be tagged on future works! (ohh and much love to @raveszn for fueling my writing juices! MUAH!)

tags ➸ @raveszn

✮ onlyfans!joe who just happened to be bored and curious one day, and wondered what it was like to have an active onlyfans. 

✮ onlyfans!joe got a rush from the attention his first video received, quickly blowing up to a trending topic on of.

✮ onlyfans!joe who never once showed his face in that (or any) video(s), but people couldn’t get enough of him. besides maybe 2 or 3 videos, he was normally by himself. his fans love how intimate his videos are, how desperate he sounds asking “can i cum?”, and how gorgeous his sweat-soaked body looked underneath the warm pink lights.

✮ onlyfans!joe who can’t help but to imagine his pretty roommate everytime he pleases himself on and off camera.  

✮ onlyfans!joe whose mind is his greatest enemy (and biggest supporter) when it came to his roommate. “good morning, joey,” angel says sweetly with a smiling painting her face. 

“good morning, angel,” his eyes lazily ran along her body. the curve of her ass going into the dip of her legs. the things he would do to have those legs wrapped around his head. the cold air surrounding the kitchen causing her nipples to poke through her already thin shirt met his eyes. 

✮ onlyfans!joe who imagined what it would be like if his tongue ran against her nipples. what it would be like when he sucked against them, his lips wrapping on top of her skin. what it would be like having her sweet moans captured on his camera. 

✮ onlyfans!joe who slipped up one night during a shoot and muttered angel’s name as one hand slid over his tip and the other occupied his mouth, his teeth biting down on his finger, so he wouldn’t wake her. 

✮ onlyfans!joe who smiled down at his phone seeing the love and praise he got from his biggest supporter, swxxtangel. there was something quite familiar and warm about this supporter. they’ve only conversed through chats and comments, though never seeing each other over the phone, joe enjoyed every little interaction he had with her. 

✮ onlyfans!joe who didn’t know his favorite supporter was the same exact person that lived 10 steps down from his door. 

weeks ago, angel tossed and turned in her bed, unable to get her usual midday nap. her mind kept replaying her memory of joe earlier in the day. fresh out the shower, damp hair clinging to the bottom of his forehead, a white linen towel hanging dangerously low off of his hips. that same towel hugging the silhouette of his dick. the more he walked, the more his towel shifted down, she felt. 

she’s scrolled on tiktok, watched mindless reality tv, attempted to do push ups (with no athletic bone in her body), even reading a toji fic on tumblr (that was useless, it just made her hornier). 

angel whined as her clit throbbed against her pink cotton panties. her fingers found a their way to twitter, an app she swore to give up for good. scrolling and scrolling, she felt like she couldn’t find any good videos. irksome moaning, painful looking sex, and just downright sloppy (and not in the good way). starting to feel like her attempts were futile, one last swipe she stumbled upon a video of a couple.

their room looks so familiar. odd…

their bodies meshed together almost perfectly, almost. the man kept his palms on the cusp of the woman’s ass as he brought her up and slowly brought her down. you could hear small noises of them kissing, him humming against her lips as her moans bounced off the walls of the room. “i feel you baby. give it all to me, cum on my dick.”

her body shook against his body as he slid his hands around her waist, holding her close, “i got you baby, i got you.” as the same time as the woman, angel came undone. her breathing uneven as she pulled her hand out of her panties, softly grazing the wet spot she left in them. the way the man spoke to and fucked the woman had angel imaging that it was her. the couple kissed once more in the video, content with what they created. angel’s eyes fluttering, she wished that it was her lips and body against his own. there was something about him…

✮ onlyfans!joe who heard angel’s soft moans from the living room. he felt like such a perv stroking his cock to it, but to him it was like music to his ears. he couldn’t help but imagine what she was doing to herself. he didn’t hear a soft buzz come from her room, so he knew it wasn’t her rose toy she kept tucked away in her bottom drawer. oh how he wished it was his fingers circling her clit instead of hers.

✮ onlyfans!joe who quickly got himself together after hearing her door slowly creak open. he didn’t get to finish before she opened her door, he was left with a hard dick that painfully poked against his sweats, a pillow on top of it and his heart beating outside of his chest. angel, with the smile that drove joe insane, walked out and decided to sit next to him, unbeknownst to what was underneath the decorative pillow. “i thought you would be taking a nap by now,” joe breathed out, the heaviness of his balls and her tight tank top leaving nothing to the imagination driving him insane.

angel shrugged and looked at him, “guess i’m not tired anymore, joey. let’s watch a movie, hmm?”

✮ onlyfans!joe who knew that one day or the other angel was going to be his.

"Triple Threat"

Rating: General Audiences

Warning: reader is dating both....but separately

Paring: Paige Bueckers x fem reader, Chris sturniolo x fem reader

Fandom:Sturniolo Triplets x Women's basketball

Summary: Q&A's = free passes...

@chrissbbydoll

I never imagined my casual answer to an innocent question during a live Q&A would set off the wildest chain of events in my life. But here I was, sitting cross-legged on the couch in Chris’s apartment, nervously scrolling through my phone while he laughed at the chaos I unknowingly unleashed.

It started out simple enough. Chris and I were live-streaming, chatting about random topics, when someone in the comments asked, “Who’s your celebrity crush?”

I hesitated, glancing at Chris, who was lounging beside me with his usual nonchalant smirk. “You’re really going to make me answer that with him right here?”

Chris raised an eyebrow, his grin widening. “Oh, come on. I’m not insecure. Go ahead, say it.”

I rolled my eyes. “Okay, fine. Paige Bueckers.”

The chat exploded instantly, fans spamming shocked emojis and comments like: “PAIGE?!” “OMG SAME” and “Chris, how are you not jealous rn???”

I laughed, holding my hands up defensively. “Listen, if I ever had a free pass to date anyone other than Chris, it’d have to be Paige. She’s insanely talented, gorgeous, and seems super sweet. Can you blame me?”

Chris chuckled, shaking his head. “Honestly? I’d date Paige too.”

The chat went ballistic again, and we moved on, not thinking much of it. Little did I know, the internet never forgets.

A Few Hours Later

“Babe, have you seen Twitter?” Chris asked, walking into the living room with his phone in hand.

“No, why?” I frowned, setting mine down.

He tossed his phone onto my lap, and I froze. On the screen was a clip of my Q&A answer, captioned: “Reader has a crush on Paige Bueckers, and Chris is totally fine with it 💀.” It already had thousands of views, and people were tagging Paige in the comments.

“Oh my God,” I groaned, covering my face. “Why did I say that?!”

Chris snorted, sitting beside me. “Because it’s true? Relax, it’s funny.”

“Yeah, until Paige actually sees it and thinks I’m a weirdo.”

Chris shrugged. “If she does, maybe she’ll DM you. You could shoot your shot.”

I rolled my eyes. “You’re the worst.”

Two Days Later

I was in the middle of editing some photos when my phone buzzed with a notification. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the name: Paige Bueckers.

“What the…?” I whispered, unlocking my phone to read her DM.

Hey, saw the clip from your live. Gotta say, I’m flattered. Wanna grab coffee sometime?

I stared at the message, my brain short-circuiting. Chris walked in, munching on a bag of chips.

“Why are you just sitting there like a statue?” he asked, peering over my shoulder.

I turned the screen toward him. His eyebrows shot up, and he whistled. “Well, look at that. Your crush slid into your DMs. Guess you’re famous now.”

“Chris, what do I say?!”

“Uh, yes?” he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Go meet her. I’ll even drive you.”

Meeting Paige

Paige was even more incredible in person. She was warm, funny, and so down-to-earth that I almost forgot she was a basketball superstar. We bonded over our shared love of photography and basketball, and before I knew it, we were hanging out regularly.

Chris was surprisingly chill about the whole thing, often teasing me about my “Paige dates.”

“Don’t have too much fun without me,” he’d say with a wink whenever I left to meet her.

A Year Later

Paige and I had become close friends, and my feelings for her had evolved into a deep admiration. But I was oblivious to the conversations happening behind the scenes between her and Chris.

One night, Paige invited me to dinner at her place. When I arrived, Chris was already there, casually lounging on her couch like it was the most normal thing in the world.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, confused.

Chris smirked. “We’ve been talking.”

“About…?”

Paige walked over, her smile soft but knowing. “About you.”

I blinked, looking between them. “Me? What about me?”

Chris stood and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “About how amazing you are. And how maybe… we both want to date you.”

My jaw dropped. “What?”

Paige stepped closer, her eyes locking with mine. “We’ve been talking for a while, trying to figure out if this could work. We both care about you, and we don’t want to put you in a position where you feel like you have to choose.”

Chris chimed in. “So, we thought… why not try this together?”

My heart raced as I processed their words. “You’re both serious about this?”

Paige nodded. “Only if you’re okay with it.”

Chris grinned. “So, what do you say, superstar?”

Epilogue

The three of us found a rhythm that worked. Paige brought excitement and adventure, Chris brought humor and comfort, and I felt like the luckiest person in the world to have them both by my side.

Our unique relationship wasn’t without its challenges, but with love, communication, and a lot of patience, we made it work. And as Paige liked to remind me whenever I doubted it:

“You said I was your free pass. Guess I took that literally.”

Cooking Live Stream

Carlos Sainz x reader ｡･:*˚:✧｡

Masterlist can be found in navigation!

Word count: 1,123

Y/N didn't think of herself as a chef, she had grown up surrounded by a family of very good cooks, Y/N was always in the kitchen with her mom or grandma either cooking or baking something just for the fun of it. When covid hit, Y/N was bored so she set up her phone and just live streamed herself making her and Carlos dinner. Needless to say people went nuts for it.

They did enjoy Y/N’s presence, she would interact with the viewers watching her, giving cooking tips she had picked up throughout the years, sharing the recipe with the viewers, occasionally making a recipe on the spot just for fun. With all the practice she has gotten, her skills have definitely made a noticeable improvement.

Her boyfriend Carlos enjoyed her live streams more than anyone, if he wasn't away at a race watching through his phone in the paddock, he would be sat on the opposite side of their kitchen island, behind her phone just watching her in domestic bliss. Y/N loved when Carlos was there to watch her, making the occasional joke, popping into view to chat with the viewers, or just cheering on Y/N when she tried something new whether it turned out the way she wanted or not.

Tonight Y/N was making pasta, she had posted on her twitter that she was thinking about making both her pasta, and sauce from scratch. The replies were filled with encouragement, even some of the drivers responded, asking for a seat at the table or leftovers. Carlos had made it back home a few days ago, and was excited to watch his girlfriend do something that makes her so happy. 

Y/N sets her phone in the small tripod Carlos had bought her for her live streams, she loves having it, when he wasn't watching her from behind the camera, it was a reminder to her that he is always there, cheering her on. She starts the live show and waits for more people to join before starting the cooking. Carlos takes his usual place behind the camera, sitting in one of the island chairs.

Y/N shows the audience the finished pasta that she had made the previous day. She had attempted to make them on live, but they weren't turning out the way she wanted, ultimately deciding that it was better to do it off camera, giving it her full attention. Y/N started boiling the homemade pasta, talking to the viewers about how excited she was to try it.

“Carlos, come say hi, everyone is asking for you” Y/N smiles at her boyfriend. He gets out of his chair, making his way around the kitchen island before landing smack dab in the center of the camera view.

“Hola a todos.” he says, giving the camera an awkward wave. He was about to leave to go back to his seat when Y/N grabbed his arm, keeping him in the camera view. 

“And where do you think you're going?” Y/N asks the now confused Carlos.

“Back to my seat, why? Do you need any help?” Carlos asks, the man would do anything for her if she asks.

“Of course! Could you start the sauce? I already laid everything out” Y/N replied cheerfully.

Carlos gives her a kiss on the cheek, moving back around to the stove, starting to mince the ingredients that would soon be placed in the sauce. As Carlos’ back faces the phone, Y/N turns back the audience reading the comments as they come onto the screen at rapidfire pace. 

“Looks like we have a little sous chef with us today everyone” Y/N cheers.

Carlos turns around, faceing Y/N with his eyebrow raised. “Little?” Carlos moves to stand next to her, the man clearly towering over her. 

Y/N laughs at his antics, turning back to her phone “What do we think everyone? Who's taller, me or Carlos?” The chat blows up with people spamming Y/N’s name.

Carlos gets closer to the phone to see it. “What is this? Have I shrunk?” Carlos asks curiously.

“What can I say mi amor, I guess I'm just more macho than you” Y/N shrugs playfully, Carlos putting a hand on his heart pretending to be hurt. “Now go finish the sauce, you are here to work!” Y/N jokingly lectures, Carlos turning back to the sauce.

Y/N starts prepping the pasta, stirring it occasionally so it doesn't stick. As she does this, she talks to the audience narrating what she is doing step by step, even taking her phone over and showing everyone what she's doing up close.

While Y/N's doing this Carlos looks over at her every couple of seconds, the audience instantly picking up on his actions, watching as his gaze soften every time he sees her. Y/N brings the phone over to Carlos’ station, showing the audience his work, showering him with compliments at every little thing he does. 

Y/N grabs a spoon, taking some of the sauce and tasting it, nodding in satisfaction. She sets her phone back down, the pasta and sauce nearly done. “Shoutout to this dude right here for doing the hard part and making the star dish of tonight's dinner” Y/N says, giving Carlos a little hug from behind. The man turns around, Y/N face landing on his chest as he wraps his arms around her, planting a kiss on her head.

“Gracias for letting me join you tonight.” they pull away from their hug, Carlos keeping a firm yet comforting hold at her waist. 

“I really enjoyed having your company, maybe you should join me again sometime?”

“I would love to mi amor” he gives her a kiss on the lips before the timer goes off alerting them that their meal is ready to be plated. 

Y/N grabs two bowls, turning off the stove and grabbing utensils for both of them. Carlos starts setting the table as Y/N takes some pasta and sauce, placing some in each bowl. Y/N hands Carlos his bowl and a fork, the two of them taking some before cheersing the forks together and taking a bite.

“Wow! delicioso” Carlos gives Y/N a forehead kiss.

“I think this is a sign you need to become a permanent member of the cooking live streams” the pair looks over at Y/N’s phone, all the viewers screaming in agreement.

“You know? I think I just might.” Carlos nods in agreement. The pair say goodbye to the viewers, Y/N ends the live stream, the couple taking their bowls to the table, finishing another successful meal.

PLAYING IN THE CAFE . . . atomic vomit by steve lacy

it’s 10 o’clock. not in the afternoon, at night. she’s huddled in a corner next to keiji, the both of them leaning on each other and periodically dozing off and then shaking the other awake. 

kageyama is a few feet away from her on her right, playing with his hands as they wait for their manager who is late as per usual.

yachi is a little more energetic, sitting a chair’s distance away on keiji’s side, swinging her feet as she scrolls on her phone. she giggles at something which draws all of their attention.

“akaashi,” she says, turning towards him. “do you want to tell me about this condom thing?”

“oh god,” keiji removed his arm from around y/n’s shoulder to cover his face with his hands. 

y/n laughs as she sits upright in her chair, it had only happened a few days before, but it felt like forever ago.

“what more is there to say? keiji’s tweet summed it up pretty good,” she answers and keiji groans at the thought.

kageyama tries his best not to look as he listens. his phone is buzzing with texts from a group chat. his friends are trying to encourage him to talk to her after he told them she was here. but he can’t. instead, he’s on google researching condoms and microphones, something he never thought he’d be doing. ever.

then a bell chimes as the door opens and their manager walks in, a small corduroy bag around her shoulders over a white puffer jacket. 

“happy holidays, sorry i’m late,” she slings off her bag as she talks.

everything is pointless here. they’re all pretending to listen to her as if they respect her and she’s pretending like she actually does her job. but maybe that’s all his opinion.

“this last year was pretty good. we lost some people but you’re all new additions and you’ve been handling this great. i help out when i need to, i accommodate when you guys need some days off…” it was slowly transitioning into statements about her, which she realized and quickly cleared her throat, pulling out a folder. “the only things i can say is you all need to do better about getting to work on time and calling out. if you’re all gonna call out one day at least tell me a day ahead or something. it’s not like i can stop you guys from doing it, just don’t make it a habit,” she sighs, running a hand through her hair. “i think that was all, if you guys can hang out here for 20 minutes more, we’ll all get paid extra. everything’s free today for you guys, so if you want anything just let me know and i’ll make it for you.”

y/n settles back down into her chair with a steaming chai latte, curling back up against keiji, whose sipping on a brewed green tea. yachi is happy with a hot chocolate, and kageyama has a mug of warm milk in his hand.

none of them want caffeine right now, it’s too late. they all just want to go home but they aren’t going to miss out on being paid just for sitting around.

but something bothers her about the fact that kageyama’s been on his phone this whole time. he keeps texting someone, she assumes, and for some reason that sits wrong with her. she wants to know what’s going through his head and who he’s talking to. a part of her wishes he would look at her, or ask how she’s doing.

maybe that’s asking for too much, it sounds comedic just thinking about it. he’s never talked to her more than he needed to. he’s never been one to say “how are you?” but maybe after her havoc on twitter, she thought he’d be more interested.

he's unlike anyone she's ever met, and maybe that's what makes her care so much. she's never cared so much about what anyone thought, or in garnering a simple look from them.

but he won't look at her and she can't predict how he's going to act, and she doesn't know how to handle that except by telling herself that she hates him.

“look at him,” y/n can’t help but whisper to the companion she’s leaning against, still facing towards the boy who’s mindlessly scrolling on his phone as he sips on his drink. “look at the state we’re in and he doesn’t even care. he hasn’t looked at us once.”

keiji raises his brows in surprise at her comment. what did it matter what he cared? but then he pieces it together.

“well, he’s seen me like this once at the beginning of the fall during our first show. but yachi’s right,” he gives her a sly smile as she tilts her head back, looking at him confused, “you really do care what he thinks.”

her face turns red at the thought and she immediately sits up, staring down into the swirling foam of her latte. “i do not,” she mumbles.

"i don't care," she whispers again. but she can't even bring herself to say it confidently.

extras <3

kageyama literally knew y/n would be at the celebration because it was a mandatory and he had overheard her talking about in their psych class once to a classmate but he wasn't actually prepared

he immediately opened up his gc when she walked in and said "she's here" and the gc subsequently blew up

my boy was literally texting about yn the entire night but she thought he was just on his phone </3

the gc was trying so hard to get her to talk to him and he had the nerve to say things like "she looks busy" "she looks tired" "she's laying against akaashi right now"

which is when hinata with all the love in the world but not the brightness of someone intelligent said he should spill a drink on them so that she wouldn't be laying on him anymore (literally not said with any malice he's heard from bokuto how cool he is)

yams screamed no in the groupchat and outloud...because tsukki, hianta and him were all in the same room texting the groupchat in silence

other than that hinata was going off with the advice and giving kageyama all the reasons why he could talk to y/n

y/n keeps looking at akaashi because she wants to open her mouth and express how she really feels about kageyama (which would come up as a jumble of undiscernible words) but doesn't know what he'll say so then she looks away

yachi can't work on sunday because she's going to an art auction!! <3 how coincidental

(also my brain for some reason really wanted to write the written part in the present tense for absolutely no reason which i was trying to fight and then got confused so hopefully it still flows ok </4)

WIBTA for calling out my friend for writing RPF?

I'm in a friend group of about 5. We've known eachother for 5+ years but I'm closest with Sam because I've known them the longest. What Sam doesn't know is that when we first met I was browsing through their Twitter profile when I found a link to their AO3, it was full of RPF of two celebrities they were a fan of. At the time I thought it was kinda weird but said nothing because the fics were quite old at this point and we were both stupid teens, I didn't see it as a big deal. The AO3 stayed up (I am embarrassed to say I checked up on it occasionally out of morbid curiosity or what I don't know) but Sam never mentioned these fics around me and a few months later I saw that the account had either been deleted or renamed and all of the fics had been deleted too.

This was about seven years ago. Although Sam would still talk about these celebs they liked in our group chats (and still does) they never brought up shipping them seriously and only talked about RPF as a joke. I never brought it up all this time because I thought that they'd moved on from writing and the jokes were part of that.

However recently Sam started posting about a new thing involving IRL people. As we usually do in our friend group we were being supportive, asking them questions and letting them infodump ETC. But then one of our friends made an offhand joke about there being fic of this thing out there and Sam totally clammed up. It wasn't super noticeable but they suddenly started trying to change the subject away from it. We let it go but something didn't sit right with me, maybe because I knew about their history with this stuff, later that day I decide to check out the AO3 tag for this thing and lo and behold, there is an account that started posting roughly when Sam started talking about it. Not only that but I skimmed through some of the fics and they had very specific quirks of Sam's writing style and grammar, one of the fic titles even referenced a song by their favourite artist! This was 100% Sam's alt account.

Here's where I might be the asshole. TBQH I don't care about the RPF, I think it's weird and I would never write it myself but it's harmless. But recently Sam has been... kind of an asshole to our other friends about their own interests. We poke fun at each other all the time but recently Sam has been upsetting our friend Kai by 'jokingly' calling his current hyperfixation cringy a lot to the point Kai has privately told me he feels embarrassed infodumping about it any more. Kai is the youngest in the group and I feel really protective of him, this got me really angry. I told him I'd talk to Sam and I will but I feel like what I want to say to them is too petty and over the line.

So, WIBTA if I pointed out to Sam that they have no right calling other people's interests cringe considering what they write? They don't know I know about their AO3, it would definitely be embarrassing for them but that's the point if they think it's okay to embarrass their other friends like this.

Agent00 x reader

First story sorry if it’s bad hope you guys enjoy!

Summary: agent is on stream and chat is asking him to describe is type.. little did he know it would lead to something

Warning:

Might be some mistakes with grammar or anything *not proofed read*

Title: “Just His Type”

It was a chill Friday night, and Agent00 was live, vibing with his chat like always. The mood was light, the energy up. He leaned back in his chair, headset on, hoodie pulled up just enough to frame his face as he read through the flood of messages pouring in.

“Y’all always askin’ the same thing,” he laughed, scrolling. “What’s my type? Like for real?”

Thousands of people typed at once, the chat going crazy.

He sat forward, thinking, then smirked. “Alright, listen. I like confident girls, you feel me? Natural, beautiful skin, smile gotta be crazy—like, perfect teeth, the kinda smile that can make you forget your own name.” He chuckled, eyes lighting up. “Gotta be flirtatious, fun, real playful. And, yo—if she’s funny? Man… that’s the dream right there.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the chat exploded.

“Y/N”

“BRO JUST DESCRIBED Y/N WORD FOR WORD.”

“YOU NEED TO SEE Y/N RN.”

“AGENT CHECK HER OUT PLSSSS.”

“Wait wait wait—who’s Y/N?” Agent asked, eyebrows raised. “Y’all tryna put me on or somethin’?”

He typed her name into TikTok, curious.

And then he saw her.

The screen filled with a video of a girl dancing effortlessly in the golden sun. Gorgeous hair, perfect glowing skin, that smile. She twirled around and looked directly into the camera like she knew who was watching. Flirty, confident, glowing with energy. His jaw actually dropped.

“Oh my God…” Agent whispered. “Yo, she’s gorgeous.”

He leaned back, clutching his chest dramatically. “Chat. Yo this gotta be the finest girl i have seen in awhile. I would go for her no cap.”

Everyone in chat went ballistic.

⸻

A few days later, someone clipped the moment and posted it everywhere. It made rounds on TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter.

And sure enough, Y/N saw it.

That night, she posted a TikTok in response. It started with her watching the clip of Agent talking about her unknowingly, her face lit up with a shy smile.

Then the camera cut to her biting her lip, winking at the screen.

Text on screen: “Well… he’s cute too. I’d go for him.”

The internet broke.

⸻

Fast forward a week.

Kai Cenat had a special stream planned — some casual gaming with friends, a few surprises lined up. Isabella, being a friend of Kai’s, showed up to join for some TikTok reaction content.

She walked into the studio, radiant, wearing a fitted hoodie and jeans, that same confident strut in her step. Kai turned to welcome her in. “Yo! Y/N in the building! Wassup, wassup!”

They dapped up, hugged. Everything chill.

Then Kai’s door opened again.

“Yo! What’s good y’all?” Agent00 walked in with his usual swagger, his chains glinting under the lights.

Kai froze. “Wait… y’all haven’t met yet?”

Agent turned — and locked eyes with Y/N

Time stopped.

It was like the universe paused just for them.

“…Oh,” Agent said, voice low, grin creeping across his face. “You’re Y/N.”

She smiled, looking him up and down. “And you’re the guy who said I was his dream girl.”

Kai, completely unaware he’d orchestrated a movie moment, stood back blinking. “…Oh nah, what did I do.”

They sat beside each other on the couch, and from the moment their knees brushed, the chemistry was crazy. They flirted non-stop—laughing at each other’s jokes, leaning in too close, eyes locked like they were trying to read each other’s minds.

Agent whispered a joke in her ear, and she leaned back giggling, placing a hand on his thigh playfully.

Kai watched them, wide-eyed. “Y’all tryna turn this into a dating show? What’s goin’ on over there?”

Y/N smiled sweetly. “You brought me here, you tell me.”

Agent smirked. “Hey man, I ain’t complainin’. I’m just sayin’, this might be the best stream you ever had.”

At one point, they were reacting to a TikTok couple’s prank, and Agent leaned over, whispering, “That could be us, not gon’ lie.”

Y/N raised an eyebrow, lips parting slightly. “You serious?”

He looked at her lips, then her eyes. “Dead serious.”

She leaned in closer, noses nearly touching. “Then do something about it.”

Everyone watching the stream lost their minds.

The chat went wild:

“BRO RIZZED A WHOLE QUEEN LIVE.”

“AGENT BAGGED Y/N ON CAM.”

“THEY’RE SO CUTE TOGETHER WTF.”

By the end of the night, Agent and Y/N exchanged numbers in front of everyone. But the real moment happened after the cameras cut off. As they walked outside together under the glow of the city lights, Agent stopped her by the curb.

“I meant what I said on stream,” he said softly. “You’re everything I ever wanted, and now that I’ve met you? I ain’t letting that go.”

Y/N grinned, fingers intertwining with his.

“Then don’t.”

And he didn’t.

⸻

From that night on, they were everywhere together — making surprise TikToks, popping up in each other’s stories, going on cute dates and playful streams. Fans loved watching them fall harder for each other every day. But for Agent and Y/N?

It wasn’t just for show.

It was real.

And it all started with a single stream — where he unknowingly described the girl who’d end up stealing his heart.

Don't Tell | schlatt song fic

Summary: fwb Schlatt (sfw somehow)

Warnings: slight suggestive themes

Word Count: ~700

Author's Note: I don't think I'm too particularly happy about this one but it's here! Enjoy :)

Song: Greta Isaac - Don't Tell

Don’t give the game away I think they’re onto us

The gentle kisses pressed against your neck as your hands grip the edge of the cool bathroom sink basin. “Jay… We shouldn’t… Someone might hear…”

You feel his smirk against your warm skin as he continues to press those goddamn sweet kisses against your neck. He pulls his lips away from you, pulling further away so his eyes can meet yours.

“I think Ted is catching on.” You mumble, his smirk falters a little.

He pauses for a moment, looking down at you with glazed eyes. The silence between you feels heavy, despite the thumping music outside the door. His hand comes up to gently stroke over your jaw.

He chuckles quietly. “Ted doesn’t know anything, doll. Don’t you worry.”

There’ll be no compromise If they find out too much

You had brought it up a couple times, the secrecy is getting to you. “I just don’t get why you have to pretend I don’t exist whenever we’re with other people.”

He sighs, looking down at you as he stands at the foot of his bed. You’re sat cross-legged on the bed looking back up at him. His eyes glaze over your figure, his shirt draped over your shoulders, you looked gorgeous.

“C’mon, you know it’s not like that.” He says, running his fingers through his hair.

“It is like that.” You respond. “I’m not saying that you need a neon sign above your head saying ‘we’re fucking by the way!’. I’m just asking you to acknowledge me at a party, join me on a stream some time?” You suggest.

He groans, leaning against the foot of the bed. “The second people get a whiff that we know each other, it’s chaos on Twitter. I don’t need that right now.”

You scoff. “Right.”

Don’t say a word, no, don’t tell another Just one little white lie won’t hurt ya Keep it a secret and you’ll feel better No one has to know

The argument dissolves as soon as he’s close enough to kiss you. Your lips press together like puzzle pieces, quiet gasps escaping as he pushes you to lay down on the bed. You can feel the chain from his neck dangling down and brushing over your chest.

“Don’t worry ‘bout all that, sweetness.” He whispers against your lips, his thumb grazing over your jaw once again. “Just let me make you feel good, yeah?”

He pulls from you for a second, looking down with a silent want in his eyes. You nod, breath hitching as you ook up at him.

Later that evening, laying beside him as the cool draft from the open window blows through, hitting your warm skin and making goosebumps spread across your skin. Moments after, Schlatt is climbing out the bed and pulling his clothes on.

You frown, normally he stays. Normally, he’ll pull you into his arms. So why isn’t he doing that this time?

With his sweats pulled up, he turns to look back at you. “Listen… (Y/N)...” Oh. Oh no.

Told me to go away Then you came crawling back There’ll be no compromise My words are all you have

You hadn’t spoken to him for a couple weeks, it had almost been a month at this point. No one had really questioned it because barely anyone even knew that you two had known each other. So you spent many days just sitting in your own apartment, wondering what went wrong.

Soon, you get back into your usual rhythm. The final slot to fall back into place is your streaming. Getting back into that office chair, you pull a blanket up to you, getting cozy as you laid up all of your software.

Stream is going as well as you hoped it would, keeping it simple, playing Call of Duty and interacting with chat. But as you’re playing, you notice a little message pop up on the top corner of your screen.

Schlatt [Today at 20:47]

Hey, can I hop in and play a couple rounds?

Hide the truth, I’m telling you They won’t know a thing Hide the truth, I’m telling you It’s worth it

[shotmrmiller]

i usually am a silent watcher , i.e. likes + reblogs ( + bombing my friend's messages w/ your shots ) but i just got thia thought and i have to spill it ! 😭

remember the post about ps!simon taking longer than usual and that's because he's watching mc's videos have been living in my head rent free , and i can't help but think about him receiving a notif about you starting a live , and in his hurry he accidentally ends up using his personal ( i.e. GHOST ) account!

due to your unresponsiveness to his messages , he kinda sticks to being quiet at the beginning, simply jacking his own cock off , but as he watches your lips part and your body bounces on the dildo , he can't help , kissing his teeth and typing with one hand in a flurry , his eyes slightly hooded and focused solely on you! hell , he isn't even looking at the keyboard!

GHOST : you're doing good as always

GHOST : fuck , my favourite girl , can't get off without you

GHOST DONATED $$$$

GHOST : i heard you last time , please moan my name again 💦

and these comments would've been lost within the chat unseen as per usual with his other account , others commenting the same things , who would care! but this time? the commenters ?

### : is that THE ghost ?

@@@ : fuck , even ghost is watching Y/N , that's the pussy power

*** : i guess even pornstars have their own favourite pornstars , fuck ghost chose well

the chat is going in an uproar , but the pretty horny you is too busy chasing her high , your eyebrows furrow, your glossed lips let out loud whines and breathy moans , and the noise of the donations coming through only makes you rub your own clit faster till you're seeing white and cumming all over the fake dick , whining lowly "hnghh, g-ghost, please..."

only when you're done twitching and twisting with that aftershock do you look at the screen and your mouth falls agape

cAN YOU IMAGINE!?!!

WHAT DOES GHOST DO AFTER HE ACCIDENTALLY DID THAT?? WHAT DOES MC DO!?!!;?;?! THE PEOPLE GOING MAD IN THE COMMENTS OF YOUR LIVE, IN THEIR OWN ACCOUNTS, SCREENSHOTS ARE CIRCULATING TWITTER , INSTA , TUMBLR , EVERY OTHER PLATFORM KNOWN TO MAN!?! DOES THE COMPANY TRY TO COVER UP THIS SCANDAL , OR do they use it as a way to recruit mc to simon , perhaps if he got his hands on her he might get back to performing like before ;) (he does. except he only performs with her now)

( i hope it wasn't too long? i usually just pitch a tiny idea and run , but i , uh , idk what came over me- plus , I don't use those sites so i have no idea how that works exactly and i hope they don't "announce" who joined the live like they do in IG , uhhh , okok , this is it , byyyee!! 😭✨✨✨ )

there's no hiding. he'll tell his manager that it really was an honest mistake, but you've been ignoring all of his emails and he's up to his forehead with pent-up sexual frustration. it works though :>

he's got your attention now.

there wouldn't be any recruiting because she doesn't wanna be seen by anyone. it's just her and her phone at home. people are scummy and no one will hold shit over her head. this is where he shows up at her house with sweaty palms and rosy cheeks (he's so desperate to get his hands on reader that his vision's blurring lmao)

[slimyalienfreak]

———————————

- You and him probably met through the Mario Party game. More likely the Mario Party DS you pirated which he resides in but maybe by some rare chance a regular game. If you did meet through pirating then obviously the two of you kind of didn’t get along. He pretty much considers you a criminal like everyone else who pirates games. He wasn’t that bad but he wasn’t treating you like some innocent person. If you didn’t then obviously he treats you with decent respect. He’s actually a pretty good guy outside of ’piracy is no party’ policy.

- You know despite him earning the reputation of being this guy who prisons people who pirate stuff he’s actually a gentleman. To you at least. He can be kind and caring, he just doesn’t give to criminals and as far as he’s aware of you’re not a criminal. He just completely ditches his usual act and softens around you. Sometimes you have a hard time believing that the person you're dating and the usual DJ Hallyboo are the same person. That’s how much he changes around you.

- One of the things he likes to do with you is simply just relaxing and having a chat. Honestly I can imagine it being a hard time for him catching people who pirate games. So sometimes when he’s hanging out with you he just likes to lay down next to you and just rant about what happened to him that day. It may not be much but to him he really appreciates it. You just letting him rant to his heart's extent to him shows him that you care about him. He also likes to hear you talk about your day as well. He honestly really likes hearing you talk to him about whatever is bothering you.

- For love languages, I can imagine it being physical touch and quality time. As to why I think that I just see him being the type of person just to enjoy spending time with you and just snuggling up against you. I can imagine him just liking little pecs on his cheek or nose. Sometimes he just likes those things, even though some can be considered little things but he likes them. He’s kind of a romantic man.

- Considering he’s kind of a host I can imagine the two of you playing some games together. Probably Mario Party games more specifically since he pretty much resides in a game of a Mario Party DS. Well a pirated one at least. But you weren’t about to commit a crime so you just stuck with the original. Which he wasn’t complaining about for obvious reasons. When you do he may slightly rig them for you. Of course he does stay neutral most of the time but sometimes you can find him putting you in a slight advantage. Honestly he kind of wants to see you happy.

- Speaking of pirating games. Assuming the two of you didn’t meet through you pirating a game. If you were to actually pirate a game and he found out that you did he would probably be a little flabbergasted. I mean you're literally dating someone who’s against piracy and here you are. Pirating something. I could imagine him giving you a disappointing look. The ‘I’m not mad just disappointed’ look. Though he goes a bit easier on you compared to everyone else since you know the two of you are dating. He does use this as an excuse to hang out with you.

- When it comes to his sentient hat Tig Bop he actually really likes you. Probably more than DJ Hallyboo himself which honestly kind of offends him a little deep inside. When Tig Bop really likes to be around if possible considering he is mostly with DJ Hallyboo on his head. I can imagine Tig Bop being a little tease though mostly towards DJ Hallyboo then towards you, though has teased both yours and DJ Hallyboo’s relationship. Honestly he really likes to tease DJ Hallyboo love for you making him embarrassed as DJ Hallyboo tells Tig Bop to quit it but he doesn’t. He finds it funny seeing DJ Hallyboo being embarrassed. When it comes to yours and DJ Hallyboo’s relationship and how cute the two of you were. How the two of you should kiss etc. just embarrassing the hell out of the both of you.

- When it comes to jealousy I can imagine it actually being really hard to get him jealous. I just don’t see him as a jealous person. Like yeah sure he might get a bit off put when it comes to you being around certain types of people but I can imagine him being able to reason with himself, either through reasonable explanation or just simply chatting with you about it. He trusts you a lot and knows you wouldn’t mess with anyone so he doesn’t necessarily get bothered and if he doesn’t he just talks to you. No need to over exaggerate over it.

- Overall, he really does love you outside his job as a piracy hunter as long as you don’t pirate, the two of you have a lovely relationship.

[yuttikkele]

please tell me more about gen z lotf au 🙏🙏

OFCCC!! i wrote a lot more about this than i thought i could, and i feel like i could keep going but i do wish to go to sleep! ty for the ask! (there was also an anon ask with this question, idk if it was you, but i'm just gonna answer this one lol)

the choir boys all know each other irl (obvi they still have choir together). everyone lives roughly in the same vicinity, but no one knows that.

they all met online during the pandemic. possibly through video games, twitter, or tiktok

how did this ragtag group of people all become friends? idk fortnite probably

i don't know much about fortnite, but it seems like it would start some friendships and/or rivalries. maybe minecraft or roblox too.

how they met and became friends is hazy, like how the beta kids became friends in homestuck. point is: they're all friends. pretty much.

some boys are closer friends than others, but they're all mutuals. they're all in like the same community. what community? that is a good question i should probably think of an answer

piggy uses the nickname people bullied him with as his online name. he gets cyberbullied and has ended up on many a cringe account, but it doesn't really bother him anymore. he likes to spread information, but he was a little self-righteous about it before he quit twitter. now he argues with people on instagram. piggy's also a redditor.

ralph usually just watches other people's content, but sometimes he'll post something and it'll get pretty popular because he's ralph and being well-liked is an innate part of his character. ralph does prefer to go out and do stuff than being online all the time.

simon is chronically online. being shy, he gravitated towards the internet. he's definitely a fandom girlie and has a tumblr (hi tumblr). he spreads positivity on the internet all the time. he's one of the good ones fr. i do hc simon as a Christian, so he does spread the Word a lot as an lgbtq affirming Christian dude

jack doesn't spend too much time on the internet. he also isn't allowed a lot of these medias by his parents, so that may have something to do with it. he does get upset when his posts don't get as many likes as ralph's

roger ragebaits and leaves hate comments all the time, but he has moments where he's nice. maurice memer obviously. sam and eric are the voros twins. i don't have too many thoughts about these guys just yet

they voice chat and sometimes video call

meeting each other irl for the first time led to the utter disgust at ralph's blindness in the fashion department

ok onto them reading lord of the flies cause i think this is such a funny concept

they all miraculously start reading lord of the flies as a class assignment at the same time

they all tell each other this and they're all like "loooool that's crazy we're all reading the same book at the same time"

i saw someone on my last post ab this say exactly what im about to say. it is truly the only way to go with this.

everyone's all "oh haha ralph's got the name of the first character AND he's blonde!" "piggy has the same name as peter's online name! haha how sill-" "WHY IS MY FULL LEGAL NAME IN THIS BOOK???"

the last person is jack btw if you couldn't tell

the exact names and character descriptions matching up a little too well with the boys startles them, but they still joke about it A LOT.

i mean, think about it, if you were forced to read this book in class and you find out you and your friends are basically the main characters, you would NOT stop cracking jokes about it.

"'ugly without silliness.' wow jack, william golding really DID put you in his story!"

they do start to get a little more freaked out when, yk, stuff starts going down in the book and they have to analyze it.

piggy's eventually like "OK we, or at least i, have got to figure this out." and he goes and does some research.

aaaaand that is all i can tell you for now :))

i do headcanon a lot of the boys as queer, but my hcs of them as gen z-ers do differ a little from my hcs of them as gen silencers.

piggy is a strict ally, his aunt is an ally, allies all around, until he realizes he is not so straight as he seems and is not really just an ally. bisexual

ralph knows nothing about the sexuality and gender biz he just does what feels right. he's pretty much demisexual/romantic tho.

simon is a gay dude. he is gnc and on the trans spectrum somewhere

jack is the only one using queer slurs, everyone gets onto him for it. he's gay, but he doesn't know it/won't accept it (because everyone in his life is HOMOPHOBIC!!!). when he does finally accept it, he is still using those slurs as slurs he is not reclaiming them.

Chris Hayes, one of the MSNBC hosts, recently wrote a book about what he calls "the attention economy" - basically the way social media and most other things besides are vying for our attention and crowding out space for us to be alone with our own thoughts. It sounds a bit luddite when I put it like that, but hearing him talk about it, he's clearly thought it through and has something intelligent to say about it all.

At least one of his points is we should carve out time away from our phones and other screens. Like, take a twenty minute walk and leave your phone, your MP3 player, all that at home and just Be with ourselves. Which is a really good idea, actually. Fanfic authors know how easily Tumblr can kill the muses. It's like the scrolling taps into a very different part of my brain than what I need to actually tell a story. They pull against each other, and honestly, the easy fun of the Tumblr scroll usually wins out.

But the media landscape being what it is, the conversations so quickly turn to the evils of kids and screen-time. Or how The Algorithm (TM) blasts our mental health. Or the way we're alienated from our real-life communities because Twitter (or whatever) is Right There.

My whole life, so much of the relationships I value the most play out over a screen. Growing up, I had a hard time with the family I was born into, but was close with a particular part of my extended family in Germany, and between visits my cousin and I would write just absolutely mammoth amounts of email and chat on AIM every day. The Kid is in a different city than me, and though we can and do call, chatting and texting is so much easier. And more generally, growing up I just never really connected with people in person the same way I did with geeks online. But, like, specific geeks. The same specific geeks over years, to the point I knew their kids' names and visited a few of them in real life.

There's just something about having something in common that I cared about, and also having the time to think about what I wanted to say and how to say it. Maybe that's the little neurodivergent person I've always had in me. Maybe it's being a bit anxious and not easily understood by the people in my offline life. I don't know. It's clearly not the same, but it felt Real all the same.

Don't get me wrong. The algorithm really is evil and damaging, and the push to just keep scrolling needs to be reckoned with. I manage it by using RSS rather than the Tumblr dash, which takes a lot of set-up work and limits who I can follow, but also means I'm looking at and enjoying specific posts rather than trying to keep up with whatever people are posting. It makes it easier to do it for a certain time and then step away and do something else, knowing the new posts will still be there whenever I check back. And the news is the worst! We really do need to keep ourselves informed, but also set limits so it doesn't overwhelm our whole day. When I'm good, I check into Google news once or twice a day for maybe 15 minutes, and increasingly I'm seeing it as one more water-drop in a larger bucket rather than fresh outrages every damned time. On good days.

So, yes, there are dangers that need to be managed. I worry for teens who don't yet have the skills to do that. Heck, I worry for a lot of adults I know for the same reason. I actually agree with Chris on quite a lot of what he's said in those interviews. But also, I worry about that twelve-year-old Marta, if she hadn't been able to find people she was actually comfortable with on Prodigy message boards and listservs. And I certainly wouldn't have come out so well if my parents were always monitoring what I said and did. I needed that, and I'm sure other people did, too.

I don't know the solution. God help the parents and the teens navigating this all today; it really is a much less safe world in so many ways than the one I grew up in. But I worry for the little geeklets, and hope they find a comfy corner to grow up into proper geeks. Somehow.

Lilli! Hiii! Sorry to be annoying but I'm also here to talk about Great Comet! And sorry this turned out a lot longer than intended. Till a few weeks ago I had only known the show through some mutuals here and a couple of mentions on theatre specific sites. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and am very glad I managed to go. However, in the interval, a couple (in their 50s) chatted to me (30s) and they said they come here (Donmar Warehouse) all the time and were surprised to see the majority of the audience for this show was so young compared to what is usually is. I tired to justify it with its Broadway success but honestly IDK. I'm aware it has a following on tumblr and did ofc also check AO3 but to me it still doesn't feel like enough people. Is it cause it is about young people? Or do people just really like War&Peace? What do you think is the fascination behind it?

aw anon that's not annoying at all! when we went, my friend actually made the same observation as that couple, she found the audience really young for the donmar as well.

i think it's 100% because the show was a broadway hit that didn't make any international leap within its first few years. it didn't ever fully break into the mainstream, its original run was too short (and too tony-snubbed :') ) for that. it was critically acclaimed, but it did fold pretty dramatically on broadway, and unless you absolutely loved the show or were generally obsessed with musical theatre, there's a good chance you either never heard of its run or would have plain forgotten about it seven years later. but if you loved it, you really loved it.

that's why i think the only people who were immediately on the job to get tickets for its west end run - which sold out super fast! - were fairly online theatre geeks who have been waiting for it to return for years. people with that kind of enthusiasm for a specific show just tend to be younger, and most of them are probably less online in a tumblr way and more online in a twitter/insta way.

did the people you talked to say anything about how they liked the show? we had some of that generation in our row and they didn't seem to enjoy it very much, so i wonder if it's landing well with the more typical donmar audience.

Zayn, Louis, and Liam at the American Music Awards in LA last year.

BOYS TO MEN

WE'RE NOT KIDS

Few celebrities actually make that jump from teen sensation to adult A-lister, but One Direction have completely nailed the transformation. Harry, Zayn, Liam, Niall, and Louis are ruling the charts thanks to hard work and pure talent. CLEO's Jessica Bailey chats to the men from 1D.

They are hot, they are successful, and it's time you take notice.

Harry Styles stands up, straightens his black, unbuttoned, Jagger-esque shirt, and extends his hand.

"Hello, I'm Harry," he says, his English accent thick. "Can I interest you in a macaron or some sort of beverage? A water, even? No? Now, tell me, where in Sydney did you grow up?"

Yes, the 21-year-old mega-star (who is one-fifth of the dynamo act that is One Direction) is certainly a charmer. The last time he came to Oz, he made headlines for flirting through every interview. And it's easy to see why. It's that penetrating stare and his cheeky grin that makes you forget there's a full staff of media liaisons, videographers, and security in the room.

Story of Their Lives

The first time that we laid eyes on Harry, he was only 16 years old. Even then, he was pretty confident, but he was a kid. Along with his bandmates Zayn, Liam, Niall, and Louis, Harry has experienced unprecedented fame over the last five years. But it wasn't until their latest trip to Oz that those of us over the age of 14 took notice. Why? They've grown up.

The group were shaped into a pop band (complete with perfectly coiffed hair) by Simon Cowell back in 2010 on The X Factor UK. And while they hit the music scene wearing plaid shirts and pastel blazers, today these guys rock out in matching leathers.

"It's a strange situation to grow up in," Liam explains. "You know, we try our best to be role models, but it's difficult. We're 21, 22, and 23 years old. It's hard being this age. We feel the responsibility of having so many followers on Twitter and even more fans."

And then there's all that media hype. For every YouTube video that exceeds 300 million views, there are hundreds of paparazzi and journalists prying on these twentysomethings to make a mint. This usually involves speculating on the boys' love lives.

"Yeah, it can be frustrating," says Niall. "We can't really have friends who are girls, if I'm being honest. But then, on the other side, people have a job to do, so we have to let them write what they want to write, I suppose."

Who They Are... Now

In their new book, Who We Are, the group say they were naive when they started in the industry.

"We started this band with a naive and innocent view of the music business and also of life in general," they write. "We were a bunch of kids who thought it would be a good idea to stand in a queue for a TV show and see where it took us... A few years down the line, we have all become more experienced with our jobs, but we have matured and grown up as individuals. So we can't say we're the same people as those starry-eyed kids who got that break in 2010."

Forever Humble

Even after five years in the spotlight, not to mention performing on some of the biggest stages all over the globe, Harry says he is still surprised by the attention.

"I think (fame has) never been the norm for us, which is a good thing," he says. "The moment that fame isn't weird to you, you've kind of lost all sense of reality."

And Harry says the band will always be grateful for all of their success.

"When you are at school, there is nothing that really prepares you for this. It has been incredible, and we have worked really hard, and it has kind of worked out," he laughs.

"Well, 'kind of worked out' is an understatement, but for five boys who left their parents' house one day for an audition and never returned, it's, to say the least, still a little overwhelming.

"If you told me that this was going to be my life back at the audition, I would be very shocked," Niall adds. "What's happened to us over the last few years is absolutely incredible. To even stop and think that we're going to be touring Australia is just unbelievable."

1D are on tour in Australia this month.

Other Teen Stars Who Made It Big

Justin Timberlake: Like many of his fellow rivals, JT made his singing and acting debut on the TV show The Mickey Mouse Club, Mickey ears and all. These days, this superstar is performing sold-out tours, making platinum-selling records, and appearing in the occasional blockbuster film.

Ryan Gosling: Even when he was singing along to The Mickey Mouse Club theme song, we knew The Gos was going places. The actor (and guy of our dreams) is now a movie star and, most recently, a DILF.

Drake: We know him as a (ridiculously amazing) rapper, but Drake used to be known as Jimmy Brooks on the series Degrassi: The Next Generation.

Taylor Swift: The year of 2009 saw Taylor Swift catapulted into international stardom with her platinum-selling country album Fearless. These days, Taylor's hair is a little bit straighter, and she's hung up the banjo to crack the pop world, but she is still making songs that totally hook us.
