As the one time victim of a high school boyfriend-stealer, I personally hope Taylor kept every last word of Better Than Revenge intact. I was crushed and pissed off for months and then Speak Now came out and I heard BTR and I just ... I can't even explain the catharsis. The vindication. I'd just play that song in my head over and over whenever I'd pass that girl in the school hallways. It was a banger then, it's a banger now, and I'm sorry but I just literally DO NOT care about being "morally correct" or a "good feminist" or whatever, like. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, bitch.

Can we all please just work to keep the BTR(TV) discourse contained and not let it become the main talking point of the album when General public gets it tomorrow?

Celebrate the vault tracks! The amazing features lined up! The enhanced sound on songs we know and love!

You can listen to the og BTR yourself on an mp3 file or physical copy all you want, but don't let it become the identity of this rerecording.

[cant-get-enough-btr-forever]

I try not to make these polls about myself. But I recently took Buzzfeed's "Which Big Time Rush Member Are You?" quizzes, and here were the results: This one said I'm Kendall, while this one said I'm Logan.

Needless to say, this confused me slightly. In fact, I'm having a bit of an identity crisis right now.

So, I want to know what you all think.

Side note: I will be posting another BTR fanfiction tomorrow! 😊

[partiallypearl]

'cause i can't turn to you when it all falls apart - a rhogan fic

a/n: apparently i have no self control. as evidenced here, i have somehow managed to write a logan x rhuben fic?? idk man i just be doing things. no trigger warnings specified, but this fic centers around jealousy and anxiety over losing a friend. @raging-violets hope this is somewhat enjoyable lol! also tagging @ceruleanmusings and @happinessismagicc @myloveforhergoeson

heavily inspired by when it all falls apart by the veronicas

Everything is F'ed up straight from the heart Tell me what do you do, when it all falls apart Gotta pick myself up where do I start 'cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart

Rhuben wanted nothing to do with this. It was selfish, she knew but watching Camille and Logan fawn over each other for the entire day as they walked around The Last Bookstore - an independent bookstore that Camille had seen in a magazine, wasn’t exactly her idea of fun. 

But she had a soft spot for the brunette boy, and he knew it. “Please Bella?” He had asked and like always, she crumbled. He was nervous about hanging out with Camille one on one, he had explained, and having Rhuben there would make it less stressful. 

Now, she was deeply resenting her choices as she sat and watched him flirt with Camille. 

The two of them flirted, handing each other books that they felt matched the other’s personality, neither one paying any attention to Rhuben, who was the awkward third wheel. 

But could she be a third wheel if they didn’t even realize she was still there? The thought of that made her nauseous. 

“I have to go pick up Sydney.” She said, standing up, finally gaining Logan’s attention. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” 

Logan frowned, stepping back from Camille, and following Rhuben out of the bookstore. 

“You okay?” He asked, and Rhuben scoffed. “I’m fine Logie. Go back to your date.” 

Logan’s brow furrowed. “It’s not-it’s not a date. I thought you said that you didn’t have anything to do today? That’s why you said you could come with us.” 

“Plans change mate.” Rhuben replied simply, pushing her bangs out of her eyes. Logan’s eyes didn’t leave her. 

“Are you sure? We can go to the Grove. It’s less than 30 minutes away.” 

“No Logan.” Rhuben said, her voice snapping. “I do not want to hang out with you and your girlfriend at the mall. I need to go pick up my little brother. Just drop it god!” 

Her outburst was louder than expected, and Logan’s reaction made her cringe internally. 

He shifted back slightly, like he was scared of her hitting him. She could see him realizing his actions and crossing his arms over his chest - one of his tell tale signs of anxiety. 

“Fine. If you want to talk or… whatever. Let me know.” He said, looking her up and down before walking away. 

She swallowed slowly, her eyes brimming with tears before she shook her head. She wasn’t going to cry over a boy. 

She hadn’t done so in the past, and she wasn’t starting any time soon. 

% 

Avoiding Logan was surprisingly harder than Rhuben anticipated. 

Logically, she knew that it wouldn’t be an easy task - since so much of her life was tied into her music and subsequently whatever shenanigans BTR was up to for the day. 

Plus, with Riley and Kendall being…. whatever they were now, Rhuben often found herself accompanying her sister over to the Palm Woods so she could hang out with the boys. 

Case in point, she was currently in apartment 2J, watching as Carlos attempted to eat corn dog after corn dog while Riley was somewhere off with Kendall - either pashing him or wishing that she was. 

Rhuben rolled her eyes as Carlos choked and began coughing. 

“I told you that I didn’t think that was a smart idea mate.” She told him, and after he was able to swallow, he gave her a toothy grin. “I’m fine Rhubes.” 

She shook her head, turning her attention back to her phone, scrolling back and forth between her texts and her photo gallery. A photo of her and Logan as little kids caught her eye. 

It was a blurry photo, probably taken by Logan’s mum. The two of them were in his bedroom, dressed in pyjamas. Their arms were wrapped around each other in a fierce hug as they grinned at the camera. 

She had found the photo a few months prior in one of the few photo albums that Robert hadn’t destroyed. She had taken a photo of it on her phone, not wanting to loose it. Now, she was just sitting there, staring at it.

Before she could ruminate on that further, the front door to 2J opened, and Logan and Camille came in, lips locked in an intense kiss.

Carlos snorted before wolf whistling, and Rhuben rolled her eyes as it took a moment for the couple to realize they weren't alone.

"Sorry," Logan said breathlessly, his face covered in Camille's signature red lipstick. Camille had a blooming hickey on the side of her neck.

"Having fun mate?" Rhuben asked, doing her best to keep the hurt out of her voice. It was ridiculous, she knew that, being jealous of them for no real reason. Camille giggled, wiping her mouth. "Y'know how it is."

Rhuben raised an eyebrow before nodding slowly. "Yeah. Sure. I'll see you later Carlos."

"Are you sure?" He asked, and she nodded, giving Logan one final look. He looked at her as well, and she walked out without a second thought.

For the rest of the week, Rhuben did her best to stay away from Logan. She avoided the apartment, the studio and even the Palm Woods as a whole.

She was being unfair and she knew it. But she’s never been good at emotional regulation and she knows if her and Logan talk about this, everything she’s feeling will spill right out.

The soft ba dum of her AIM account gets her attention as she sits at her computer. She looks up at the screen, biting down on her lip when she sees that Logan’s typing before his first message pops up.

Dr.Logan: are you mad at me?

KangaRhubes: what makes you think that?

Dr.Logan: idk, the fact that you aren’t speaking to me? or that youve been avoiding everywhere that i usually see you?

KangaRhubes: not everything is about you logiebear

Dr.Logan: well this feels like it is

KangaRhubes: it’s fine logan. just go have fun with camille or whatever.

Dr.Logan: is that what this is about? me hanging out with camille? bella, i thought you were okay with me dating her?

KangaRhubes: i am.

Dr.Logan: then why are you being so weird about us together?

Rhuben sighed, running her fingers through her hair as she typed before erasing the message. She sat there for a moment before replying.

KangaRhubes: i just don’t like being a third wheel.

Dr.Logan: third wheel? when were you third wheeling?

Rhuben snorted, rolling her eyes.

KangaRhubes: the entire day at the bookstore mate? look, i get it, you wanna hangout with your new gf. that’s fine, but don’t abandon our friendship bc of it

She logged off just as she saw Logan begin to type a response.

“God.” She mumbled under her breath, smoothing her hands over her face.

“You’re mad at me.” Logan said and Rhuben rolled her eyes, turning away from him.

Her best friend, could she even call him that at the moment, grabbed her arm, forcing her to turn back to face him.

“Let go of me.” She said harshly and he obliged, still continuing to speak. “I know it. But you won’t tell me why.”

“You don’t need to know everything Logan.” She told him flatly, and he scoffed. “I think I do. Especially when my best friend ignores my AIM messages for four days in a row. Seriously Bella. What’s going on? Is it your meds? Your treatment plan?”

Rhuben rolled her eyes, scoffing. “God. I’m so glad that Dr. Logan is here to diagnose me right now!”

Logan’s brow furrowed. “I’m just trying to help.”

“Yeah well your help sucks ass.” She crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against the wall. They stood there in silence before she finally spoke again.

“Fine. You want to know why I’m mad?” Logan nodded and Rhuben barrelled on.

“You invite me to a date with you and Camille. You act as if she’s the only important thing in your life. And then,” she stepped closer to him, poking a manicured purple nail into his chest, “only when I start pulling away and giving you space, you notice that I am not around as much. Do you know how unwanted that makes me feel?”

He doesn’t say anything in response and Rhuben looks down at her converse, her chest heaving and her hands shaking.

“I’m sorry.” Logan said, and she looked up at him. Brown eyes meet blue. He went to grab her hand and she stepped back, shaking her head.

“I fucked up. I know that.” He said , and she raised an eyebrow at him. “You’re my best friend Bella.”

“Doesn’t feel like it.” She replied, looking away again. “Feels like I’m just who you call when you’re too scared to make a move on the girl you really want.”

And it’s the most honest that she had been with Logan recently. Logan nodded, his hands swaying at his side. She watched him for a second before speaking.

“I just…I need some space. From you, and Camille.”

She could see the hurt flash upon his face for a split second before he schooled his expression. “Yeah. That’s okay.”

“Okay.” Rhuben said, her eyes welling up with tears. They stood there in silence for a long moment, neither of them speaking before she sighed and pulled him into a hug.

She buried her face in his shoulder as his arms wrapped around her waist. They weren’t okay. They probably wouldn’t be after all this.

But right now, she still had her best friend. For as long as she could hold onto him.

Hi friend! I’m heading to bed. I hope you like speak now TV. I love seeing your thoughts! I like most of it a lot. As a debut stan some of the vault songs give me that same energy in a way I really like. I think BTR lost its teeth and I have extended negative feelings about the lyric change. (Not cutting stuff about pushing people down and having no dignity but cutting slut shaming feels like saying someone’s a slut is worse which is just like a very Evangelical opinion and not really in line with my values) Overall I remain impressed by how she redoes songs. I had a long day today (doctor and work 🙃) and tomorrow I have clients from 10-5 with one hour break. I love you and hope you’re having a good day 💙

Oh you put it into words like the change in btr seems very 😵‍💫 especially after recent events, but she's really good at replication and the album has definitely outdone red and fearless tvs for me! Hope you have an easy day tomorrow oof, love you!! Good night <333

[myfriendtheghost]

goodnight pretty boy

[idsb]

I'm literally 32 years old, but it's not 2010 anymore... it was a banger, of course it was, BUT good we move on from that mindset, I don't want to get back to it. Not as 32 yeas old or I don't need that energy for younger fans. I know if younger fans who will hear BTR for the first time tomorrow would not become bad people because of it (if the lyrics stay the same) lol , but also we don't need that energy, the sense of the song stays the same, but we don't need to bring people's mattress skills in to petty fights

Teenage girls are allowed to not have their anger sanitized into a more digestible format.

[myloveforhergoeson]

man at this point idc what the btr boys are doing lmaoo im so invested in how roxy & dak are gonna go. do we ever see roxy's pool date with jo & camille? i wanna know what they think about this whole roxy dak mess he's putting her through....

hello! i wanted to respond to this rq bc i've literally been thinking about it all day

thank you for being interested in dak and roxy i was so scared people would stop reading after i introduced that little plot line! all i've gotta say is... roxy writes based off life experience or scenarios she creates in her head... so... yeah... hahahaha

i did not originally intend to show roxy's pool date with jo and camille but i will write it tomorrow after i get off work and post it asap! i've been writing the season one finale for literal weeks at this point and i'm starting to go crazy over it so itll be nice to get into a different little one shot for a bit. i'll post it in a reblog of this question so we can all find it :)

more under the cut !!!!

right now i will give you a little sneak peek about how EVERYONE feels about the roxy-dak mess because i'm generous like that, and i don't really get to show everyones feelings on it in the story bc we only get inside her head... there's a bit in chapter 13 where we see a little bit of how the guys feel about it, but i didn't want to make it a whole thing and then it kinda turned into a whole thing 🤷‍♀️

anyway: how my characters view love and roxy's relationship through some cannon events and my own personal beliefs

jo: takes absolutely no shit when it comes to love, we see this when kendall has his thing with lucy... she grew up listening to boy bands and has a standard for how men should treat her <3 plus i think she's been in one non-serious "we went on a few dates so i guess he's my boyfriend" relationship from back home so she has a little experience. she thinks dak isn't worth any more of her time after he stood her up but she is afraid to voice this to her bestie...

camille: is a hopeless romantic and would go nearly to the ends of the earth for the ones she loves. she's a "if it's meant to be, it's meant to be" kinda gal and at age 16 fully believes logan is the love of her life. i think he's her first partner! she wants roxy to be as in love as she is and thinks that, while shitty, the whole standing her up thing is just a bump in the road on their way to everlasting love

carlos: pre-established to have never been in a relationship but he's like a silly jock so i'm sure he's been on at least a few dates! he has older sisters in my story (because he feels like he was written by a woman (me. i'm that woman.)) so you know he knows the proper way to show a date a good time! he thought roxy looked so pretty on her first date and he just wants her to have a good time and be happy. if dak makes her happy, he's happy! and he was actually kind of okay with the stand up thing because they got to hang out and dance together <3

kendall: captain (?? i don't think i made this up... this is in the show right?) of the hockey team in a midwestern high school. he's had a few partners and i know his mother whooped his ass (metaphorically) into shape after she found out he goofed around too hard and hurt someone he went out with on accident... as for the roxy and dak affair, he may or may not have picked up on the fact one of his good buddies may or may not like her... he's not a fan but will not say anything bc he isn't in the business of telling her what to do (she will hit him with her songbook very hard)

logan: while a believer in his love science, he's yet to find a way to quantify how he feels about camille after the party in chapter 10 :) he dated a bit his first few years in high school (mostly double dates with james? i also think is a fact from the show), and has had a few non-serious partners but he's never felt this way about anyone else! in his love science-y world, he can tell that dak does not feel the same way about roxy as she feels about him. if he did, he would've come to the party. simple love science!

james: good lord! he has dated anyone who is someone at mountain aire high school and it's always been to elevate or retain his own social status. so when he's normally a flirt for fun, or because it makes his boring little small town feel less boring, it's always been a game to him. except somewhere along the way of flirting out of habit with his new friend, he might have started to actually mean some of the things he's said. he thinks dak's a douche for standing her up and he's trying to make that clear to her the only way he knows how: vague hints and comments here and there. another established james fact is he's never been dumped, so i imagine this brings up a little bit of fear of rejection in him as well. he has trouble voicing his own feelings as well, since he's always trying to come across as perfect.

whoo boy that was way more than i though it was gonna be lol. if you make it this far, you deserve a medal. thanks for the suggestion! i'm excited to write the pool date... we haven't had enough roxy/jo/camille in the fic lately

[bejeweled-wahlberg]

How the fudge did I just officially realized that I’m gonna go to the BTR concert tomorrow😳
