･ﾟﾟ･｡ my beautiful girlfriend | WEN JUNHUI

pairing: idol/actor!junhui x ff!reader // genre: oneshot; hurt, comfort, angst(?) // warnings: petnames; (baby and love), misunderstanding, overthinking, crying, lowkey self-depricating, proofread quickly. // wc: 1.6k

a/n: merry christmas <3 @honajoong hii lex!! I'm your secret santa :> despite starting a little late, I wanted to be involved as well and I got you!! I will admit I struggled to write for junhui since he's the first seventeen member I've written about, but hopefully I think I managed to grasp his characteristics(?) 🥹 I hope it's okay!! also 'yn yln' is 'your name' and 'your last name' :>

Two years. Two whole years since jun asked to be your boyfriend. Two whole years since you started supporting him through his acting career. But never in your two whole years together were you jealous about his co-stars or fans. You've always been hidden away from the public, not going to any events together. Not even getting barricade tickets for his and his group's concerts for the sake of not getting caught somehow.

It's always been like that though. But that's because no one knew about your relationship, not even the rest of his group members.

Jealousy has never been an issue for you until you read an article regarding jun's new upcoming Chinese drama. See, this was new to you. Usually you'd be excited; treating him to order take out from his favourite place, or buying him small gifts to add to his collection of other things you got him within your relationship.

As you read article after article the majority published about how jun and his co-star make such a good couple. Some even published pictures of them together at the premier event they recently attended, while others are scene captures from the said drama.

There was this one picture you saw that made your heart drum disturbingly loud in your ears, not because of the photo itself but because of the comments regarding it. Your eyes dart from comment to comment, 'Wen Junhui and ____ have incredible chemistry', 'A new couple in made in the industry?', 'I hope they're dating in real life.'

Your breathing pattern becomes ragged from the thought of feeling like you're hindering Jun in his life. If you were just making things difficult for him since you were no one but a regular person who works a 9-5 job. In times like this, which was rare, you had no one but yourself to console you.

A single tear runs down your cheek which has you vigorously wiping it off your face, refusing to let yourself become so weak because of this.

You see a text appear from the top of your phone, a text from your boyfriend asking how you were and letting you know when he'll be home, but a part of you felt like you were sinking inside. All these comments getting to your head about Jun and his co-star, but you know you shouldn't think that way. Besides, you never used to think that way initially.

Thinking that it's best to sleep off the thoughts gathering in your head, you grab the folded blanket beside you on the couch, splaying it over you as you play music from the t.v, hoping that would help you get your mind off it.

Hours pass, the living room dim from the lack of light but only from the t.v itself. You pick up your phone to check the time, and while you were asleep, you received multiple texts and a missed call from Jun; all the messages asking if you've eaten, what you want to watch later in the evening, and so forth.

However, you didn't feel like messaging him back, or even calling him back either. You thought your nap would rid of the uncomfortable overthinking, but it just has you questioning, 'why is he even with me?' He could pick any other girl, but why did he choose you. He has a beautiful co-star with incredible chemistry, why doesn't he just ask her to be his girlfriend instead—

"Yn?" Jun's voice echoes in the room and cuts off your trail of thoughts.

You refuse to turn your back and greet him, instead, you pick up the remote and search through films to watch as if he wasn't calling your name again.

"Hey, did you get my texts? Have you decided what you wanna eat tonight?" Jun asks again, caressing the top of your head and missed as he tried to kiss the top of your head, but you flinched away.

"Not hungry." You reply curtly.

He could sense something was off, not wanting to think too much into it, he lets it slide as he goes into the bedroom for a quick shower and change of clothes. He hasn't seen you behave this way before, wondering what possibly could have happened recently to tick you off. His mind was thinking of every possibility but to think of articles since his shoots for the drama were quite a while ago.

As he walks back into the living room, you're still sitting in the same spot on the couch. He walks around the couch to sit beside you, lifting the side of the blanket to share, but you take it off and let him have all of it instead.

Jun turns his head to look at you, a questioning expression on his face yet you don't turn to look at him. A straight, unbothered face is what he sees as your eyes are stuck on whatever movie you put on the t.v.

"Is everything alright? I feel like I've done something wro-"

"Everything's fine." You lie, cutting him off and not wanting to think about it anymore. For the first time in a while you almost didn't want to be in his presence for the sake of keeping sane.

"Well it doesn't sound fine." He turns his body, attempting to test the waters as he places a careful hand on your lap. This time you don't flinch.

You sigh. Pausing before you answer him honestly, "Because it's not."

"Love, how am I supposed to know what's bothering you if you won't tell me straight?" Jun's hand starts caressing your thigh in attempt to comfort you and allow you to open up to him, like you usually do.

You try to gather your thoughts and stare at one spot, but nothing in particular, on the t.v as your breathing becomes uneven. It's difficult talking about a feeling you never thought you had to ever talk about, but it was bound to happen at least once in your life. And that was this current moment in time.

A stuck, choked up feeling in your throat starts to erupt as you struggle to find the words to say, leading to you struggling to stop yourself from tearing up out of frustration.

You explain about the articles you've read about him and his co-star, the ones headlining and the comments you've seen. Your breathing hitches a little while you're talking, and Jun couldn't help but scoot closer to you with his arm around you.

"I tried my best to not let it bother me, but it was a lot to take in. I'm sorry." Jun wipes away at your tears, listening intently as you continue, "I know it's your job, I understand if I'm being unacceptable and if you don't want to be with me anymore."

Tears are non-stop streaming down your face, also because you're mad at yourself for becoming so weak and letting this get to you in the first place. You feel Jun's hand resting on the middle of your back, rubbing it with comfort.

You continue letting out your hushed cries, burying your face into his chest with muffled sorries leaving you. Jun's never seen you cry so much and his heart drops at the sound of your irregular breathing pattern in attempt to stop yourself crying. How could you stop when he hugs you tight momentarily, slowly swaying you side to side as he rests his cheek by your temple.

"Hey, hey. It's okay." He cups your cheek, pulling back to hold your face close to his. "You know you're always going to be the one for me. I'm sorry that hiding our relationship has been difficult, I know. I want to let everyone know that I'm yours, but right now it's a little tricky, and I know that's no excuse but I swear I will let people know. Sooner than later, I promise."

Your sobs quieten down, a little exhausted from the thoughts occupying your mind the whole day. But you respond with a slow nod and a tight lipped smile as you both shuffle on the couch and lay your head on his chest as his hand finds its way to skim up and down your back once again.

･ﾟﾟ･｡ ･ﾟﾟ･｡ ･ﾟﾟ･｡

It's been a few days since Jun had comforted you. Your phone pings from a notification about another article that had just released with the headline reading, 'Wen Junhui breaks rumours about dating co-star and is a relationship with Yn Yln"

You read it once more. And another time, expecting there to be hate thrown at you, but there was nothing but love and support from Jun's fans. It was entirely different to how you thought they would take it, but you're just grateful that it didn't go that way at all.

Your boyfriend's tall figure walks through the door with a bouquet of flowers, not even a couple of minutes after you had read the article, and he's making his way to you sat by the breakfast bar.

His subtle smile curves his lips as he holds the bouquet out for you. While you, on the other hand, are pouting; worried that it might ruin his career and receive potential hate, but Jun was unbothered. He was certain about it.

"You didn't have to do that, Jun." You insist, receiving the flowers from him. "I don't want this to affect your career."

He stands by your knees as you face him, towering over you ever so slightly.

"I wanted to let them know. I can't keep hiding this relationship forever," he kisses your forehead as his hands plant on your shoulders, giving them a tight squeeze. "And honesty, as much as I love to keep you to myself, they need to know that you're my beautiful girlfriend."

You let out a sigh as you got into your car. It had been a long day in the studio, recording new songs for your latest album. Your throat hurt, but you were happy with the progress you had made today. Starting the car, you made your way home to the apartment you shared with your boyfriend, Jason.

It was his birthday soon, and you'd planned a little surprise, not only for him but for your fans as well. You had written him a song, one that would be on your newest record. You smiled only thinking about it, you couldn't wait to pull off this surprise.

The show you were performing tomorrow in Gotham was no ordinary one. You'd called it the "Jazz on Special", which was just a a play on Jason. Your lovely, yet sometimes a little daft lover had not gotten the hint. Good.

He always attended your concerts, watching from backstage, giving his support. The moment you stepped off stage, he was immediately one you, showering you in compliments and kisses, telling you how proud he was of you.

So you figured this was the least you could do to show your appreciation for him. You wanted the whole world to know how much he actually meant to you, scream it into the crowds. So that's excatly what you were going to do.

Unlocking your apartment door, you stepped in, dropping your keys in the little dish right by the entrance. You could hear footsteps the minute the door closed. Jason came towards you, with a big smile and open arms. "How was your session today, Baby?" He asked, wrapping you in his strong and comforting arms. You snaked your arms around his waist and hid your face against his chest. "Was really good. My throat is sore though, I need some tea." You mumbled, letting a content sigh to be in his arms. He placed a kiss to the top of your head.

"I'll make you some, got get comfy, okay?" He said softly, stroking your hair. "Thanks, Jay," you replied, slipping from his embrace with smile. You went to put on a change of clothes. You did wear comfortable clothes to your recording sessions, but you had to dress it up at least little bit with some jewelry. It probably wouldn't be the best look to show up to work in your kitty PJs.

After having changed into said kitty PJs, you plopped down on the couch next to Jason and your cat, Nyx. She was a black stray with a white streak on her forehead. You'd picked her up from a local animal shelter, you just couldn't resist her cute little white paws that made her look like she wore socks and the fact that she matched Jason. It was supposed to be his Christmas gift one year, but you just couldn't keep her to yourself.

Although you got her for Jason, he insisted you name her, his reasoning being that she got her looks from dad so her name should be from mom. And yes, you do treat her like your child. You named her Nyx, after the greek goddess. She was the first, daughter of Chaos, night incarnate. You thought that it fit, with Jason being the protector of Gothams street at night. And in a way, you were grateful to her, to Mother Night, for holding Jason safely in her dark yet loving embrace.

"Nyxieeee!! There you are my sweet girl! I missed you SO much, yes I did," you beamed in a high pitched baby voice, scratching her face. You stole her off Jason's lap, making him huff. Taking her into your arms, you placed overly dramatic kisses on her tiny head. She didn't seem to mind, though, rubbing her cheeks against your hand and purring. Jason's face softened at the sight.

You looked so precious like this, the cat curled up in your arms as you cooed at her. You'd be a little embarrassed about your habit of talking to animals in a baby voice if Jason too, wasn't guilty of it as well. He put an arm around your shoulder, pulling you close to him. "You know, technically that's my cat," he said with a smirk on his face. You shot him a glare.

"Technically, you wouldn't have her without me and you asked me to be her mom. She's my child too, Jason!" You responded playfully. He threw his head back, laughing. "I guess she is, huh. Thank you for being the mother of my furrbaby." He sighed, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. "It's my absolute pleasure, baby."

You were getting sleepy, your eyes unvoluntarily fluttering shut ever so often. Nyx was curled up on your lap, peacefully snoozing away while Jason was intently watching whatever was playing on the TV. You took a sip of the tea Jason had so lovingly prepared for you. Setting the mug back down on the coffee table, your gaze shortly fell on Nyx and- wait

You had to do a double take. She had one of her small paws reached out towards Jason who was gently holding it and without paying much mind, softly stroking his thumb over it. Your heart was about to explode. Your lips were slightly parted and your eyes were wide, looking at Jason completely bewildered. He noticed your stare, turning his head towards you with furrowed brows.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" He asked, the question slightly muffled by the hand that was supporting his head. "That's the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen," you mumbled, the shock pretty evident in your voice as you gestured to his huge hand that was ever so softly caressing Nyx's comparably tiny paw. His eyes softened.

"It is, isn't it? The first time she did it I was practically shaking from excitement," he laughed, the sound rumbling through his chest. Your brows shot together. "What do you mean 'the first time'?! Has she done this before? AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?!" You yelled in disbelief. How dare he keep something so precious from you.

"Sorry, Baby."

"Unbelievable."

Today was the day. The day you would pour your heart out in front of Gotham. To say you were nervous would be an understatement. The blood in your veins was at boiling point and you were seconds away from a panic attack. Fiddling with the two colorful paper rings you had made for today, you took a deep breath, trying to calm your nerves. This was fine. You were fine. You've literally done this hundreds of times. But would Jason like it? God, you hoped he would.

Before you could overthink more, you heard your cue through your earpiece and it was showtime.

The 'normal' part of the concert went well, you performed some of your best songs, the crowd was amazing and it was overall an incredible night. You'd talked to your fans a little on stage between songs, receiving some nice little gifts here and there. Flowers, plushies as well as a bra was thrown on stage. Well that was a first. Not that you complained, you were rather flattered, actually.

It was nice to know that you had the ladies on your side. Jason, who was watching from backstage, almost keeled over with laughter when he saw you pick up the under garment, completely bewildered. He would never let you live this down.

"Alright, Gotham," you said breathlessly, "before our lovely night comes to an unfortunate end, I have prepared a little something. Not only for you, but also for my special someone, who might or might not be here today," cheering could be heard from the audience as you fixed your earpiece and chuckled breathlessly into the microphone.

Singing and jumping around stage sure was a work out.

"This is a song I've not shared publicly, as it is from my new album, but I thought I'd make a little exception for all of you and at the same time be the best girlfriend and make the coolest birthday present ever!" You laughed. The moment you mentioned that it was a new song the crowd absolutely lost their shit. You don't think any of your concerts have ever been this loud. Your eardrums nearly burst at the sheer volume of teenage girls screaming their souls out.

"Here's Paper rings. This is for you, Jason." You said with a smile on your face. The music started playing and it's like all your worries faded away. You'd been waiting for this moment for weeks, to finally share this song and your love for Jason. As you sang the lyrics, a compilation of cute and silly pictures of you and Jason ran over the huge screen behind you. Some were of you and Jason in a face mask, others were of Jason cuddling with Nyx. You occasionally glanced over to Jason who was doing his best to hold back his tears with the biggest smile on his face. Your heart swelled at the sight.

With the last bit of music fading out, you finished the song and bowed. The picture remaining on the screen was of you and Jason kissing with a sunset in the background. A heart was drawn around it. The minute the last words left your lips, Jason was storming on stage, showering you in kisses. He held you tightly against him, peppering kisses all over your face. His actions made you giggle into the microphone and the crowd went wild. The security guards were really struggling by this point.

You grabbed Jason's hand and slipped one of the two paper rings on his finger, pulling him in for a sweet kiss. The dam broke. There were happy tears rolling down his cheeks as he continued kissing you. Managing to pull away, you addressed your fans one last time. "Thank you, and Good Night, Gotham!"

You squealed when Jason unexpectedly picked you up bridal style and whisked you off stage, your head thrown back in laughter. It was safe to say you were on the front page of the Gotham Gazette the next day.

Jason was talking his heart out on the way home, talking about how much he loved it and how much he loved you. You were listening patiently, holding his hand while a big smile was plastered on your cheeks.

Now, you found yourself in the familiar spot on the couch, Jason's arms wrapped around you with little Nyx making biscuits on your thigh. "I have one question for you, though," you said, turning your head to Jason. "What is it?" He replied softly.

"How the fuck did you not get the play on your own name?"

"Oh, shut up." He pouted, burying his face in the crook of your neck. You let out a soft laugh.

"I love you too, Baby."

Hi! I love your Lords of Chaos writings,(love how you describe Pelle)

I wanted to ask if you could do a necrobutcher x reader(fem)... To be hones anything. But if you want an idea, you could do something where reader is friends with necro, and Eronymous made a party where he invited reader.( I dont really care what kind you do tbh, its just annoying that no one really writes for necro and hellhammer.

If you do, thank you sweets! Have a nice day!

Party and a cold night

warning : drinking, fluff, kissing

Info : Happy that you like my writing (and on Dead as I'm always saying I try to keep the characters as realistic as possible) I could work with your request don't worry a sweet kinda things have fun reading :)

masterlist

Disclaimer : I don't want to glorify anything, it's about the actors who play a role, not the real events.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a call he had needed that the band no the group of friends of darkness knew where they would get not only free beer next but also the best music. Black Metal.

The black circle had planned not to terrorize the city this weekend but to do something quiet like a small home concert, a concert that the founder and messenger of the only true music Eruonymous had announced to his friends on the phone. He knew that at a party for all young adults, teenagers and metalheads the best inspiration and music could be heard.

It would be almost like a dark fair because a few artists would also come and with Dead's art and his almost poem-like words, everything would be perfect with Faust's music collection. And in the end they would all wake up drunk with a hangover anyway just to either carry on or go home and make music again the next day.

There was only one or the other. Including the calls from his one and only album cover artist who came across the group by chance with the help of her then chance acquaintance Necrobutcher.

She almost ran him over with her car on her way to a showcase in some music store but now. Now, as her gaze turned out the window towards the street, she could see the light shining on her car, the light that was pointing towards her apartment, the machine that led to the tyo she almost killed.

He was here she hurriedly put black lipstick on her lips and took one last look in the mirror, grabbing her bag before running down the stairs out of her apartment and falling into his arms outside in the cool darkness of the night. The smell of leather and flowers on him was almost cute.

She knew that he liked flowers, unlike the others, he was still "normal" and always helped his mother plant flowers because of the sweet smell. ,,Evening, my love," he greeted her and gave her a gentle kiss before she got on the bike behind him and they both rode through the night towards Euronymous.

The one who was responsible for the fact that they would all soon be ruling the world if you overdo it either way was a thing they both agreed on. Even though all the rumors and incidents had told them both to be careful, the last thing they wanted was to have the police with them.

But that was something they wouldn't worry about now that night she could feel his warmth despite the elder jacket wrapped around his upper body, the light muscles from his training, his motorcycle, the trips they had always taken together and so many more to come.

,,You sweetheart must have missed me, didn't you?" he asked, looking briefly over his shoulder and winking at her before she gave him a kiss on the cheek and he was able to concentrate on the road again.

But his grip on her as they drove around curves he put his hand on her thigh he was gentle warm and tender he loved her she knew it and she loved him they both held each other no matter the time. ,,I miss you every second," she said, smiling before enjoying the cool breeze of the night as the minutes passed and the conversation moved from small talk to new artwork, flowers and date ideas.

One thing she appreciated about him was when he told her exactly what he wanted and didn't hide behind the cool façade like the others. He put a little heart in her eyes and she gave him another kiss, which he returned as they slowed down.

They stopped in front of the shack that served as a house and music studio but like everything, it was the inner values that counted. ,,The incredible castle," he mumbled, getting off the mojo bike before offering her his hand, which she accepted with a grin.

,,Quite incredible," she replied and the two of them walked to the door laughing and banging on it as the doorbell didn't work and they both knew that Euroynmous wouldn't spend money on such a thing. The music was loud and they thought they would have to smash another doorbell to get in.

But luck seemed to be on their side as the door opened and the black-haired band founder stood in front of them with a beer. ,,Guys! Come on in, it's nice that you're here, you're missing Dead's singing, come on in!" he shouted through the music and simply pressed his beer into Necrobutcher's hand and gave the artist a new one and closed the door behind them.

But his two friends could only smile, they didn't know their mutual friend any differently when he was drunk, he was exuberant and in a celebratory mood.

And that's exactly what they did: they drank, celebrated, sang along and had a damn good time together for themselves and with their friends at this amazing party night.

Day 9 of @corrodedcoffinfest "THE HIDEOUT"

wc: 690

pairing: eddie x reader

rating: T

cw: some curse words in my writing, mentions of underage drinking (if I missed anything pls lmk)

a/n: not my best work lol i was trying to get it out before midnight, enjoy <3

"You can catch us every Tuesday, playing to a crowd of...about 5 drunks! But it's still a good time I swear!"

Is how Eddie munson had posed the idea to you at lunch yesterday. He asked if you wanted to go to a concert and given that you had jack shit after school, you said yes, and then he said it was "This band Corroded Coffin" and you said, "Isn't that your band?" and then he said, "yeah, come watch!"

The smile that crept onto your face was inescapable, you had been waiting for this weird little metalhead dude who sat next to you in biology to ask you out all year and it finally happened. You remembered him from middle school, when he would talk about having a band and making it big in New York, playing Madison Square Garden, the whole thing. He had big dreams, and you had full confidence he'd achieve them.

They started playing at the hideout when they started high school, Gareth knew the manager and practically begged him to let them play there. They loved it, though it was hot and sticky and probably violated many health codes. The five drunks they played for were the only people who cared to listen, even if they were only half conscious. Plus they got free beer out of it. Getting blackout drunk every time they played was just half the fun. At least thats what eddie always said.

---------

They played at 8 o'clock he said. You showed up and sat at the back, a coke in hand. Eddie spotted you almost immediately, his eyes lighting up. You didn't clock him until you saw him giving you a shy wave from the stage. He hopped off the stage from tuning his guitar and lightly jogged over to you, leaning against the table and offering a soft smile.

"Hey, you made it" he said, smiling almost childishly and rocking on his feet.

"I did." You said, giving a small nod.

"Y-You look nice" He said, shyly, a hand scratching the back of his neck.

"Thanks." You looked down at your dress, a little white bow amidst the black right between your chest. "I was worried I did too much"

He rubbed his neck in an awkward habit, "...No. I mean look at me" He said, motioning to the chains on his pants and the eyeliner he'd put on moments before.

You let out a small laugh, and Eddie's face lights up. "That's fair. But you look good too"

He smiles again but looks away briefly, trying to find the words "Do you have any plans after the show?"

You sipped the coke in your hand and looked up to him from your seat, "Go home probably.... unless you had something in mind?"

"You wanna grab a bite after?" He said, looking nervously to his shoes.

"absolutely. It's a date" You say, smiling up at him.

---------

You watched from the table you sat at, sipping your drink and singing quietly the songs you knew, occasionally catching eddies eye as you did. He looked so happy, like he fit in. He was so in his element for someone performing to five deadbeat 40 year olds and a bartender. They played a couple metallica songs, and near the end a cover of ring of fire by johnny cash. He fit that song, plus it wasnt so terrible watching him pluck the guitar strings. They ended with an Eddie Original as he called it, and then the show was over. It's a real shame they don't have a bigger crowd, you thought

You awaited eddie outside the hole in the wall bar, and watched him as he talked to the guys and threw glances in your direction. "So did you like the show?" He questioned, anxiously awaiting an answer. "You guys were so good. You better not forget me when you're famous, munson." You said, smiling.

He chuckled at your response, "Wouldn't dream of it."

"wanna go get greasy diner burgers?" He questioned, walking backwards toward his van. "Is that even a question?" You retorted, chuckling and following him.

[jojodelaguerras-wooden-stick]

Some Christian Borle works that I hope vox fans will know about !!

I assume that there are many hazbin fans who are discovering CBorle or my tiktok has just been fueling this misunderstanding. Anyway, live laugh Christian Borle

Spamalot (OBC) - Historian/Prince Herbert/others

He is so funny in this, especially as Prince Herbert and not-dead-yet Fred. Being ragdolled and shaken around by the king as Prince Herbert or insulting Sir Robin with his tambourine as a minstrel

Legally Blonde (OBC) - Emmett Forrest

I know this is one of his most iconic roles but Emmett deserves more love literally the sweetest character and CBorle played as him so well. His "little miss woods comma Elle" AH and the little things that makes Emmett RAHHHHH

Some Like it Hot (OBC) - Joe/Josephine/Kip

Did you know that he does most of this show IN HEELS. Not only that, TAP DANCING IN HEELS like are you kidding. He also wrote some lines for the show! I love the whole show in general, it is so funny and so real in how they talk about identity and how you present yourself. I can write a whole essay but that'll be for another day. I love this show with all my heart

Little Shop of Horrors (2019 off-bway revival) - Orin/others

Speaking of heels, he too was in heels for this production, but much much less than SLiH. Still, the talent is there. Especially when he plays all the different characters, from a crazy dentist like Orin to Skip Snip. He is also super unhinged and likes to drag out his death as Orin to make the audience laugh. I recommend watching the tiny desk concert first if you are not familiar

Thoroughly Modern Millie (Replacement) - Jimmy Smith

There's not much for this show, just a video of him singing What do I need with love. I liked his singing in this and the small details he does during this song to show that Jimmy has fallen for Millie is cute

Mary Poppins (Replacement) - Bert

He may claim that he was the worst tap dancing Bert but he was still a champ for learning all that choreo and even going upside down in step in time. Another one with crumbs :" Gosh what I would give for a boot cuz rn its just the disney on Bway videos and jolly holiday. He did it with Laura Michelle Kelly :)

Me and My Girl (New York City Centre) - Bill Snibson

He did this show with Laura Michelle Kelly too :))) AND THE SHOW IS SO FUNNY it's so underrated and has very funny lines. Someone said that it was basically 2 hours of CBorle being silly. I also love his and Laura Michelle Kelly's dynamics as Bill and Sally. Speaking of this couple, Bill and Sally are literally as healthy as Emmett and Elle and i love that for them

Peter and the Starcatcher (OBC) - Blackstache

Literally my favourite show of his. His blackstache is so animated and silly I love him. And his agility sliding over the trunk and running around. His moments in Mermaid Outta Me ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽ silly lil guy. Similarly to Orin, he likes to drag out his hand pain to make the audience laugh. AND HIS CURLS omg this era of CBorle hair is the best imo. And he won his first tony for it! That goes to show something about his portrayal of Captain Hook and how it needs more love !!!!!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (OBC) - Willy Wonka

A lot of people seem to see this role as the role he went bald for. We joke about Borled Egg a lot but he brought such beautiful unhingeness to this role that really brought out the joy of this show.

Footloose (The Muny) - Director

He also directs! Though there is no boot for this production, he talks about his experience directing and working on the show in some interviews and a reunion zoom call. The cast talks about how he allows them to be free in their portrayal of the characters while giving advice and proper directions, especially since he was in Footloose for tour and bway. I would have loved to watch it since footloose is a show I like too. NaTasha Yvette Williams is also in this!

Anyway, he has done a lot more shows, he's been in the industry for nearly 30 years so he has a lot under his belt and I wish he wasn't just reduced to Vox's VA, Marvin or Shakespeare. He's a brilliant actor with impeccable comedic timing and seriousness. He's not a two-time Tony award winner for nothing!

Scandal in the Spotlight Part 1 - Kyohei Rikudoh Route (up to S3 Give Me Forever)

I really like Scandal in the Spotlight!! I've only played like two stories though hahaha. I'm hoping the sequel stories are just as good so I'm excited~ Lmaoo when Kota called that creep a pig in a wig😂 Anyway, Kyohei is the first guy (which is usually the most popular one) but I've actually never played his story before! It's pretty funny because his looks are definitely my type! Lol when she accidentally sees him half-naked and she stares at him for so long, he's like why don't you take a picture😂😂 HAHAHAH OMG the heroine got a nosebleed😂😂😂 Now he thinks she's a pervert, that is hilarious but so embarrassing!!🤣 Honestly, I understand their desperation and stuff of needing a new lyricist after Ryo left, but I do remember thinking the guys are usually quite harsh with the heroine when it comes to writing lyrics. I mean, yeah they don't have a lot of time blah blah, but still.. Kyohei is an ass with how much he forces the heroine to write and says he'll destroy her screenwriting career if she runs away. Like yeah, he's probably doing it for "her sake" because she's giving up too easily, but really, his attitude and way of expressing it is veryyy unpleasant. I appreciate him for showing her how much people like the lyrics she wrote (that Ryo took) but yeah.

Wow, I knew Kyohei was harsh on himself and resolved to be at the top for some reason, but I didn't think he felt guilty for causing his father's death when he was only 27 because his father saved him from drowning and basically died in his place. It's something his father wouldn't regret, but I can see why it would hurt Kyohei. His father was so loved by his fans and everyone around the world, so if he's not as big as him, it would feel like his father "wasted" his life saving him, when really, Kyohei being alive and happy would be enough for any parent who loves their child. I'm glad that Kyohei showed such care for the heroine and tried to relieve a bit of the pressure he gave her before by telling her that Revance's success or failure isn't her problem nor is it solely dependent on her. It's silly of the heroine to be so focused on thinking about the lyrics that she ended up fainting in the bath, but the good thing is that at least Kyohei can see how seriously she is taking it. I love how when Shinya found out her real role in Revance and asked her to write songs for him, and she looked at Kyohei, and Kyohei told the heroine to not look at him because this is her life and she should decide for herself. Yeah, honestly his attitude isn't the best, but he's straightforward and honest, and I like that about him. He tells her how much he wants and needs her to be their songwriter and he doesn't hide how he told her more about his dad because he doesn't want her to leave and I admire how honest he is about trying to get her to stay with his own methods.

Honestly, Shinya liking the heroine is so random, but I guess he likes her more because she's interested in Kyohei more than for himself, since he seems obsessed with Kyohei lol. Considering how much experience Kyohei has and everything, I'm sure it's easier for him to deal with Shinya than it is to find a new song, so I definitely think the heroine is silly for giving up her lyrics in exchange for Shinya to keep her secret of being a ghostwriter etc, like lady, he's just going to keep doing this! Shinya is such a...weird guy lol. So creepy but just randomly redeems himself at the end? Naaah I don't think so lol, he's been such an ass. So I guess the romantic ending where the guys save Kyohei from making a scene is much better haha. Personally, I think the dramatic ending was better because it put more emphasis on the song, and I love how Kyohei showcased at the concert his ballad which was a reply to her love song. I just thought it was really sweet. But they do get some sexy time in the romantic ending so I guess you don't want to miss that out😂 Overall, I wasn't too impressed with Kyohei's main story since it definitely felt more like he was using her most of the time than he was in love with her, she was just like a bonus lol. Hopefully the sequels are better! I'm glad we got to see Kyohei's PoV because alot of the time I wasn't too sure how I felt about their relationship, and it felt like he cared but also didn't, so it was nice to see clarification that all along, he really did notice the heroine and care for her haha.

Honestly, even though it was frustrating that the heroine couldn't communicate with Kyohei properly even when he knew something was up and asked her directly about it, I couldn't help but feel for her. She is dating a celebrity that so many people love and want, it's hard for her to not feel like she's "nothing" compared to him and feel lost about whether she can handle seeing him with other women in commercials etc. I'm so glad Kyohei acknowledged her feelings and reassured her that they're valid, that he loves her, that he thinks she's amazing (which she is considering how great her lyrics are lol) and that if he's amazing, then the woman who made him fall for her must be even more amazing haha. I'm so happy that Kyohei got through to her how much he loves and cherishes her. Omg Kyohei getting into the bathtub with the heroine, hugging her from behind and kissing her is so hot, I love it. I agree with Ryo that he really did something unforgivable as a songwriter, which was to steal the heroine's lyrics, but you can tell how desperate and broken he must be if he was driven to do that. It doesn't make it better, but seeing how sad, how jealous he is of the heroine's talent and how he doesn't know how to get out of his slump is just heartbreaking imo.

It was sweet to see how confidently Kyohei answered that even if Ryo comes back, the heroine would still be their lyricist and that her songs are different from Ryo's and that her songs are just as important to Revance as Ryo's are. LMAO when the guys started playing the characters in the heroine's script. Legit died because of how corny the lines were but it was so funny seeing the guys act it out haha! On another note, it was really nice to see how strict Kyohei was in giving his opinion on the heroine's screenplay. He's harsh but direct and honest. Omg Kyohei enacting a wake up call for a show was so hot, I can see why the audience went crazy haha! So cool for the heroine that her script will be used for a play, that's definitely a great achievement! It honestly broke my heart when Kyohei said they should stop seeing each other, my first thought literally was, I don't want to break up! What is he saying! I know and recognise that it's difficult if he plans to expand into the international market while the heroine wants to stay here and focus on screenplays rather than lyrics but still! I am actually so glad Kyohei changed his mind and went back to apologise to the heroine and win her back. I loved how he used the audition to tell her that he wants them both to chase and achieve their dreams together and that he can't do it without her anymore. I think I especially loved the talk on the radio show when he said "even if it took longer to reach the end, I'd want to go with the person I love". Considering how long and how much Kyohei wants to achieve this dream of his, knowing that the heroine is important enough that he feels like delaying it to achieve it alongside her makes me happy. I really enjoyed the Sequel His PoV, I think it's always great to see how the Revance guys support each other, but it was also nice to see Kyohei struggle with his "selfishness" and his desires against what's best for the heroine.

Did the story ever mention Kyohei having a sister because I'm shocked!! I didn't realise he had a mother either hahaha! Anyway, I love how he helped the heroine get acknowledgment for her hard work as a writer on stage after the play, that was very sweet. Surprisingly, Kyohei's teenage years are much more interesting than I thought! Like it's basically what I expected minus the fact I didn't realise he had a sister and mother haha but it's really nice to see how everything fell into place as he gathered up the courage and ambition to live up to his father and surpass him. At least they get along haha, it's nice that the heroine has been accepted too. It's also nice to see that the group once upon a time had another guy that ended up leaving for his respective reasons and then meet him again. I'm quite happy for the heroine that she's getting to pursue her dreams as a writer and focusing on that, just not sure about the new guys lol. It's sweet to see Kyohei supporting her and encouraging her by checking in on her. I loved it when the heroine and Kyohei didn't meet for a week and she was so happy to see him, and he was like why is she just staring longingly when she can leap into his arms like she wants hahahha. Honestly, with how exhausted she must be churning out stories for Fumito to read, she definitely should because I would definitely want to haha! Kyohei's encouragement is honestly the best, it makes me feel touched and motivated too. He's right, our goals aren't something flimsy, just because we haven't been acknowledged yet doesn't mean we're no good! Ritsuto really is the type of guy to be really nice once he acknowledges or likes someone lol. I like his straightforward attitude towards Revance's first LA performance and I enjoyed the heroine giving her honest opinion about them not being able to capture the audience here, which is very understandable imo. They're nervous, it's their first gig, they're not used to the country and they haven't grasped the feel of the audience here even if they've done their research, and honestly, Japan and LA is very different vibes.

It was understandable for Kyohei to feel jealous of Ritsuto in terms of being close to the heroine and as an established celebrity in this country. Especially considering how nice he is to the heroine and how much he helps her when that's what Kyohei used to do for her, but the best thing is that Kyohei didn't hide how bummed he was about it and actually told her. Ritsuto was definitely too much when he did what he did, that was really terrible considering they're not exactly on bad terms and he's trying to steal the heroine from Kyohei when he's down. Anyway, I loved how the answer they both reached was to stay true to themselves when it comes to their work and their life. I think it would have been better if we had a better grasp that the heroine was writing stories that's not her style as well but it's okay, the story focused on Revance and their struggles in adapting to a different country. It was nice to see Kyohei realise that regardless of what country it is, the people watch their performances wherever they are in the world so they'll love who they are and not what they expect them to be. Overall, I wasn't sure how to think of it when I first started but I actually really loved S2 with the heroine and Kyohei separated but in the same country working hard towards their individual goals with their individual struggles. Even though their work was different and they had different aims, they both found it difficult to adapt in a different country catering to the people around them rather than being true to themselves and what they love and want to show to people. Of course, not everyone gets to be like our main characters and get to stay true themselves and still be loved, but at least for this story we can relish in that, and that makes me happy for them. Seeing things from Kyohei's perspective really displays well how dejected he was all this time. Not only was he hit with rejection after rejection but with a lacking fanbase and no clear direction on how he wants the band to be, coupled with Ritsuto being amazing and popular, it's hard to stay cheerful and positive. I'm so glad Kyohei took the heroine out to Las Vegas and spent some quality time together whilst getting to watch a performance there and be inspired. I really feel like Fumito needs to let the heroine have time to experience things outside instead of just holing up at home writing lol.

Honestly, I find the heroine's decision to go back to Japan kind of weird? She has such a great opportunity to learn from Fumito aiming to improve her screenwriting, and he tells her what she needs improvement on and gives her opportunities etc and she wants to go back to Japan when she hasn't really learnt that much at all?? People would be dying for this opportunity! Like I understand that she feels like she's relying on others but when you first start out, having someone experienced look over your work and help you improve it is a dream come true. Like it's probably because Kyohei and them are going to go back so she needs an excuse to go back too but seriouslyyyy. It was so sweet how supportive all the guys were when the heroine was down from all the rejections, and it made me so happy for her that they tell her that at least one of them has to be free to hear her out whether it be happy news or good news, she's so lucky haha! It was so great to have Kyohei properly acknowledge the heroine as Revance's lyricist in their comeback concert, it made me so smile so much! Hearing Kyohei say he wants to write the lyrics for the song himself made me so happy for him, he really wants to surpass his father in everything he could do and do it even better. I like how even when the heroine is imagining Kyohei proposing to her, he's still as arrogant (in a cool way) as ever 🤣 I wonder if Kyohei feels like he's limiting the heroine and doesn't want her to be fixated on being Revance's lyricist when she can do so much more if she's not exclusive, and yeah being a lyricist and scriptwriter for her movie would be great and appealing, but more important than that is what the heroine wants to do. She didn't work so hard all this time to do stuff she doesn't want to do just because it gives her more fame or something, otherwise she could have stayed in LA. I'm kinda glad that she was able to feel things when Shinya played the song for her, it is her work after all and if she wants to do it, she should, otherwise she'll regret it. And I'm glad Kyohei knew that and that's why he wanted to push her, I think it was really cute when he called her Little Miss Rival haha, but I'm happy that the heroine finally truly feels like she's stepping into the world. I find it very silly that Shinya made a move that jeopardised the drama and didn't do anything about it and didn't get reprimanded or anything lol, but I admit that seeing Kyohei do that press conference with her really showed how much he cares for the heroine. I don't know how I ended up on the dramatic love ending lmao but I loved it especially when Kyohei used the heroine's rejected lyrics (that sounded too much like a proposal to Kyohei) to make a song and sing it to her at the concert, it was so touching! It also made me really happy that Kyohei achieved his dream and the heroine's song was a success. I loved Kyo's PoV because it was so wonderful to watch over him, Taka and Ryo band together to create the song that will surpass his father, and to see him play it for his mother to hear, that was really beautiful.

Overall, I am smitten with Kyohei. I actually love him and the heroine so much because it was so beautiful to watch them grow together. They both had dreams of creating hits in the industry whether it be for recognition or to surpass his father and I loved how step by step, they both encouraged each other, supported each other and loved each other despite all the setbacks and issues coming at them trying to break their determination. They wouldn't have been able to do it alone, but you could really see how by having each other, even if they were physically apart, just knowing that they respectively were working hard towards their dreams made them both never want to give up and do their best and I think watching over them do that was so touching and sweet. It also helps that Kyohei is charming, exudes confidence but not arrogant and is very loving. You can really feel how much he cherishes the heroine, how much he needs her just as much she needs him and how they really are equals by the end. I really enjoyed their story and their love and I'm not sure who else can top them!

Life update

Dear mum and dad. I wish I had the courage to visit you, or even call you, but I fear that you would close the door in my face or hang up the phone. So I’m doing this over e-mail so that I at least get the chance to tell you what I have to say. I have been trying to write it in to words for an hour now, but can’t find a better way to say it than purely the way it is.

First of all, I want to say that I miss you so much. I wish we never would have had that fight. Or I wish we hadn’t needed to have it. But my point still stands, much stronger now then it did then. I’m gay. I’ve always been and will always be. Only recently have I been able to accept that about myself. My biggest wish in life is for the two of you to accept it as well.

Second of all, I want to share something that is really important to me. If you’ve been following my life through the news or social media, which I hope you have, then you know that since October, I’ve been the bass player for the band Joker Out. Joining them was the best decision I ever made, not only for all the fun concerts I get to play, but for the guy’s as well. They’re some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and I’m so grateful that I get to call them my friends.

But that’s not the point I’m trying to make. One of the guys is extra special. His name is Jan, and is one of the guitarists. He’s the kindest, funniest and prettiest person I’ve ever met. I had been flirting with him for a few weeks, he had flirted back, and one night when we were hanging out just the two of us, he kissed me. We kissed a bit, but it didn’t go any further that night. But then a week later we went out with our friends to a bar, and afterwards he stayed at my place to not have to go all the way home. Then he stayed for all of the Saturday too, and that night, the kisses didn’t stay just kisses. I’m blushing just writing this. Anyways. It happened three more times, and after the fourth time, he asked me to be his boyfriend. I said yes. 

It makes me so incredibly happy that I get to have someone as amazing and caring as Jan in my life. It makes me so happy to be able to call him mine. If you only take one thing with you from this e-mail, then I want you to know that I’m happy. I’m so, so happy now, living the way I do. Again, I also wish you can accept me like this. I love you so much. 

Best wishes from your son,

Nace

ps. If you’ve read this entire e-mail, I can give you some other existing news that will go public tomorrow. Joker out will represent Slovenia in eurovision! Okay, bye for real now.

Re: Life update

Nace. I want to start by saying sorry for not replying to this email when we got it. We both read it the very same day, but we couldn't come up with a decent enough response.

We also want to congratulate you and your friends for your eurovision performance. We are so proud of you for that. It also seems as if you're playing multiple festivals this summer. We wish you the best of luck with that. 

Now, to the main subject of your email. As parents, it is our obligation to love our children. We do still love you, as our son. But that doesn't mean we aren't having a difficult time accepting this whole gay thing, let alone the boyfriend. It seems as if it's becoming more common these days, so it is something that we at the very least will have to get used to seeing.

We are however not there yet. We aren't used to it yet. We might not be for a long time. But that doesn't mean we won't ever be. As a mother it is my job to try getting better in order to help my kids. I hope that we can meet sometime again, in the future. We miss you too.

Best wishes from your mum and dad.

DALLAS LIU SEES YOUR TIKTOK THIRST-TRAP EDITS OF HIM

Dallas Liu may be playing the Zuko in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but you won’t catch him with the Fire Nation prince’s restrictive, gravity-defying ponytail in real life. 

“I would never, ever out of my own personal choice rock the ponytail. It’s a haircut that not even cosplayers are willing to take on,” he tells NYLON. “I can gladly say that I would not recommend it to anyone.” But the 22-year-old actor does admit to what fans of the original animated series have known since the show debuted back in 2015: “The ponytail does look super badass on screen.”

Liu says he knew the challenge of bringing such a beloved character to life, but not only did he grow up watching the animated series and loving the Fire Nation prince for his fierce loyalty, but the show inspired him to start practicing martial arts. Ahead, Liu takes on the NYLON 19, revealing his thoughts on ghosts (or “spirits,” as he prefers to call them), TikTok thirst-trap edits of himself, and more.

1. WHAT’S YOUR ASTROLOGICAL SIGN (AND DO YOU BELIEVE IN IT)?

I am a Leo! Unfortunately, I don’t believe in it because of my experience meeting people with the same birthday, but us being different personality-wise.

2. DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS (AND HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE)?

Yes, most definitely. Although I think the word “spirits” would be a better way to define it. I’ve never seen one — thank God — but I have felt uneasy in very old hotels or rooms that have a very long history.

3. WHO WOULD BE THE THREE HEADLINERS OF THE MUSIC FESTIVAL OF YOUR DREAMS?

Dominic Fike, Beach House, and Sade.

4. WHAT'S A BAD HABIT OF YOURS THAT YOU'VE BEEN MEANING TO FIX?

Honestly, I’m so bad at parking my car. Not that I’m bad at driving, but when it comes to parallel parking or even in a parking lot, I don’t put much thought into it.

5. WHAT WAS THE LAST INTERNET RABBIT HOLE YOU WENT DOWN?

I spend too many nights doom-scrolling on Instagram or TikTok, but it was probably a compilation of Avatar: The Last Airbender lore.

6. DESCRIBE YOUR WORST DATE IN THREE WORDS OR PHRASES.

Short, McDonald’s, Black Ice Car Freshener

7. WHAT WAS THE LAST DM YOU RECEIVED?

My friend sent me a TikTok thirst-trap edit of myself this morning which was interesting.

8. IF YOU COULD BE IN ANY MUSIC VIDEO, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I would have to say either the music video for Bow Wow’s “Let Me Hold You” or Chris Brown’s “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” just because the music videos in the ‘00s were just built differently.

9. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CONCERT, AND WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES OF IT?

Daniel Caesar performing in LA for his Case Study 01: Tour. It was my first one, so I remember everything about it. At the time, he was taking the music industry by storm and I was a major fan, so that concert was everything to me. I also was introduced to how much of a different experience listening to live music is.

10. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE AS A KID?

The Polar Express.

11. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MEME/INTERNET JOKE AND WHY?

The personality that comes with wearing a fedora. It’s always funny to me and forever will be. Maybe one day I’d get to play a character that wears a fedora. Maybe Zuko.

12. WHAT'S YOUR GO-TO BREAKUP SONG?

“I Gotta Find Peace of Mind” by Lauryn Hill.

13. WHAT IS ONE THING EVERYONE SHOULD BUY THAT IS UNDER $10?

A sweet latte with oat milk from Blue Bottle. A must. Just try it. It’s so good. I could live off of it.

14. WHAT PIECE OF CLOTHING FROM HIGH SCHOOL DO YOU WISH YOU KEPT?

My vintage Green Day shirt. It had the perfect shade of a faded black and the fit of it was immaculate.

15. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PAIR OF SHOES THAT YOU OWN, AND WHY?

Military boots because they look the coolest.

16. WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO SAD SONG?

Anything by Elliott Smith or Duster.

17. WHAT REALITY SHOW WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO APPEAR ON?

Love Island UK.

18. WHAT IS YOUR BEST BEAUTY TIP OR TRICK?

Korean skincare products.

19. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FAST-FOOD PLACE, AND WHAT’S YOUR ORDER?

Wingstop: four lemon pepper classic and four original hot classic, all flats. Lemon pepper seasoned fries cooked well done. A side of ranch and bleu cheese. Root beer.

Scan - Klaus Voormann's drawing of George Harrison giving him a hug at Abbey Road Studios in 1963, as published in Voormann's book Warum spielst du Imagine nicht auf dem weißen Klavier, John? (2003).

George and being affectionate, as requested. A companion post to this one.

"George giving me (Klaus) a bear-hugggg My first time in London and... what a welcome!!! ‘It’s Klaus!’ George Harrison called, setting his guitar aside and walking toward me to give me a firm hug." - Warum spielst du Imagine nicht auf dem weißen Klavier, John? (2003)

"[W]hich Beatle was the better kisser? 'George,' [Iris] says with a smile. 'He gave me my first kiss. He was lovely. Paul was charming. George had something else.' [...] 'They’d all come round at two in the morning and my Mum Vi made chip butties. I met George at the ice rink when I was 12 and he was 14. Every night he would come round to our house after school. 'He used to play guitar and wanted to get into Rory’s band but Rory said he was a bit young. We went out for ages – but it was a totally different concept to boyfriend and girlfriend today. 'We’d walk down Lilly Lane which was like a lovers’ lane and kiss and cuddle. George was the best kisser ever. 'Rory opened a skiffle club and I wasn’t supposed to go because I was under 15 so I put cotton wool in my bra and blue blusher on my eyes. 'At the end of the night, Rory made a joke about his little sister having cotton wool down her bra. I was so embarrassed I ran out in tears. 'Then I heard footsteps behind me. It was George. I ran into his arms and he gave me the best kiss ever. 'I can still feel it right in my tummy, even now. He was lovely.'" - Mirror, October 6, 2012

"'At all clubs [in Hamburg],' says George, 'they used to read out a notice every night saying that all people under eighteen had to leave. Someone eventually realized I was only seventeen, without a work permit or a resident permit. So I had to leave. I had to go home on my own. I felt terrible.' Astrid and Stu drove him to the station, got him his ticket and a place on the train. 'He was just standing there,' says Astrid. 'Little George, all lost. I gave him a big bag of sweets and some apples. He threw his arms round me and Stu, which was the sort of demonstrative thing they never did.'" - The Beatles: The Authorized Biography (1968)

"I was surprised to see how affectionate he was with Olivia, holding hands, heads touching as they talked, snuggling up next to her at every opportunity." - Chris O’Dell, Miss O’Dell (2009)

George hugging Alla Rakha during the Dark Horse, 1974: here.

"Olivia was in the room and asked Madeleine her name. The next thing she knew, George was walking across the room directly to her, and as if they were old friends, put his arms around her! She was so overwhelmed and she automatically put her arms around him and hugged him back. He asked her her name, and she told him it was Madeleine. She said something to the effect of 'I love you George’ in her cute and charming way, but George only replied, 'It’s Krishna that you love.’ He was told by Bill how many concerts she had attended, so he asked, 'This is your 11th?’ In her shock, she said yes, but when he asked again, she said no, it was her 8th concert. He was knocked out that she had gone to that many. She told him, 'I would have gone to all 50 if I could,’ to which he jokingly replied, 'If I could I wouldn’t have!’ During this time George was holding both her hands in his." - Harrison Alliance, December 1974/January 1975, with thanks to Meet The Beatles for Real [x]

"Even hugging George was a psychedelic experience, what a gem of a man. Love him forever." - Dave Stewart, Facebook

“Just a few months after his death, I was in Bungalow 8, a New York club that Paul Shaffer had dragged me to, when I noticed a skinny fellow who was the spitting image of George, only young George, coming right toward me. Before I could say anything, this young man embraced me in a tender hug. And then pulled back to explain himself. ‘I’m Dhani Harrison,’ he said. ‘One of the last things my father told me was that if I ever come across people who were important to him, I should give them a hug.’” - Martin Short, I Must Say: My Life As A Humble Comedy Legend (2014) [x]

"The last time I met him, he was very sick and I held his hand for four hours. As I was doing it I was thinking ‘I’ve never held his hand before, ever. This is not what two Liverpool fellas do, no matter how well you know each other.’ I kept thinking, ‘he’s going to smack me here.’ But he didn’t. He just stroked my hand with his thumb and I thought ‘Ah, this is OK, this is life. It’s tough but it’s lovely. That’s how it is.’" - Paul McCartney, The Mirror, April 7, 2003 [x]

“George was the kind of guy who wasn’t going to leave until he hugged you for five minutes and told you how much he loved you. We knew where we stood with each other.” - Tom Petty, Rolling Stone, January 17, 2002 [x]

[steddieas-shegoes]

This is probably gonna get long and it’s personal and it’s just me having sad feelings so please don’t feel like you need to read ❤️

If it isn’t like really clear from just the way I post about Liam, it’s always just been me and him.

It was just me when I was pregnant (and that’s a hell of a story because I didn’t know I was pregnant until I was already almost four months along), it was me during labor (and my mom but if you’ve ever been in labor with your mom there you know that’s kinda hit or miss), and me 24/7 since he was born.

It’s just me on the birth certificate (even though I could have done things differently).

It’s just me.

And like most of the time, especially as he’s gotten older, I’m pretty okay. Kind of glad actually. I can raise him the way I want to and I know that we have a bond that’s really incredible and unique. I know that because he’s such a good little human, I’m doing alright.

But there are some days (like Father’s Day) where it hits me way harder than it probably will ever hit him that it’s JUST me.

I don’t have a partner in this. I’m 100% responsible 100% of the time for him. Physically, emotionally, financially (hence, the fundraising for hockey).

And it’s not necessarily sadness that we call Father’s Day Papa’s Day instead (he always gets my dad a small gift), but more just an overwhelming feeling of failure?

Even though I know really I’m not failing him, I’m working hard every day to make things better for both of us, days like today are just a reminder that I have to keep doing better.

It’s a lot of pressure.

Every parent feels it regardless of the support they have (and I do have a lot of other support!), but at the end of the day, I’m the only parent he’s got.

He’s never had questions. Honestly, I’ve been mentally prepared for them for years because he’s always been a very curious kid. But not once has he asked about who I refer to as his sperm donor (it’s okay you can laugh it’s a coping mechanism and it’s funny as fuck), and I’ve never felt the need to tell him unless he asks. I’m sure a lot of it is because he has SO many amazing people who love him. My platonic soulmate is his uncle just as much as my sister is his aunt, I’ve lived with my parents since I had him so they’ve been around constantly, we have a second family who always tells us to “come home” when we’re gonna be at hockey for two days in a row.

It sounds whiny because I DO have so much support.

But I think it’s just hard to know that the support I thought I would have wasn’t there and my entire life had to adjust because of it. Liam’s entire life is different because of it.

In the long run, it’s for the better. But some days, like today, it really hits me that we both missed out on something.

I’m also coming down from the adrenaline of last weekend and I always have a hell of a crash after concerts/time with my person/overwhelming things like my first pride. And my period just ended. That definitely doesn’t help.

So if you read this, you’re a real one. I’m not one to shy away from my personal life much, I find a lot of value in sharing things in case someone else feels the same way and is looking for validation. Plus I don’t have insurance/money for a therapist so this is the next best thing!

Shumori chapter 7

TW: Diabolik Lovers, implied body dysphoria, mild sexual harassment, horror, angst, nihilism, mental illness. A depressing chapter, probably lol. Don't worry, I have dopamine ready for my next post to make up for it!

Kou Mukami's schedule looked very unusual today, even for a professional idol who was actually a vampire.

According to the Hello Kitty post-it's he'd pasted on his dressing table, he'd start the night by getting ready for the upcoming live show, then he'd go extort some neighboring royal vampires to retrieve his brother, then actually performing at a concert.

After that, he was planning on drinking some of Eve's blood, unless they really had to exchange her for Yuma, who was missing since the day before.

His very personal premise since he'd started the Eve mission looked fake and like that of what people on the Internet called a male Mary Sue, with a jewel-like eye and everything.

And on top of it, he'd had a mysterious dream right before Yuma vanished! It was like un-life was mocking him.

It would show some respect to him soon, if he managed to become Adam.

He started to apply the standard base for idol makeup- he didn't need to cover any kind of blemish, since being a vampire guaranteed having the perfectly healthy, smooth skin humans could only dream of 99% of the time. However, the lights onstage were so bright it was best to comply with the rules and mark his natural features.

He knew his face was beautiful and all, but he wondered how much longer until the mask slipped, until everyone saw who, what he really was, or was not. He had the skill to fool anyone he wanted, except himself.

An antique mirror. The powder is making a haze behind you.

An antique mirror. You reflection is not you anymore. Or is it the real you?

...

...There's something behind you

Kou shut his eyes and turned the other way; he tried to breathe until it passed before he called any of his brothers.

It was still embarrassing he got this kind of thing; like he had really lost his mind back then.

He hadn't lost his mind. and if he had, if nobody knew, it wasn't real. Just like whatever that shadow was.

It's not real, you're not real!

A painful silence passed until Kou convinced himself the thing wasn't there with him. Just like all those times before. That hurt little boy dressed in rags was very far from reality, too.

His reflection gradually turned back into a handsome, charismatic and cheerful vampire young adult, Kou Mukami.

He could perfectly give the concert and continue acting like the perfect Adam for Eve to fulfill his master's wishes; he wasn't broken.He had a magical eye and could be whoever he needed to be. He was determined to succeed.

First things first, though; he cannot expect to become Adam if he neglected the Masokitty!

Yui was trying to wash her face in the marble bathroom wearing a rather small yet beautiful silk robe, which were the only sleeping garments they provided her with. She was extremely uncomfortable in this mansion, but somewhat resigned that there was no exit she could use.

Her stomach sank as she remembered she was told rather menacingly that even if she left, only punishment would await her.

It was like when she first had arrived at the Sakamaki house, but this time she had literally been snatched by force, and on top of it, some extremely pretty guy was making advances on her, despite him knowing Subaru was the only one she wanted.

He made it difficult to resist, but she didn't understand why her body, at least, would stray so easily if her love for Subaru was genuine; she felt maybe she wasn't the partner he deserved.

She heard humming outside.

-Hey, Masokitty! Is everything ok? -the pretty guy in question had opened the door without knocking, entering the bathroom and closing the door again,

-You look a bit stressed, do you want a massage? -Kou purred and slid his hands onto her shoulders and kneaded slowly,

-Kou! -Yui gasped, at a loss, looking at both their reflections. If Subaru saw this...

He continued massaging her back and her mind drew a blank.

-Or... -he lowered his voice and brushed his left fingers toward her neck- would you prefer a small, harmless bite? -he whispered and squeezed lightly, making sure her eyes never left the mirror in front of her, and him, with the other.

Yui blushed as her mind came back and gently removed Kou's hands, much to his visible disappointment. She told him she only wanted to go to Subaru's side.

-Subaru, Subaru... -he hasn't really come to get you despite having god-knows how many powers, has he? -Kou rolled his eyes but tried his best to remain calm. Making a face trying to convey "feeling bad for her" would probably push his point. Resistance was futile, in his opinion, as he could just resort to force, but he'd need patience.

He removed himself from Yui's personal space and sat down on the large, double sink, looking at her in the eye.

-Do you think a guy of his status would ever wait for you to return? -he shrugged, pouting- He probably thinks you ran away, I saw he doesn't trust you...

-You're unnecessarily cruel, Kou -Yui felt sad but tried to dissimulate- Subaru is not like that... you don't know him!

Kou saw the crack of doubt just beneath Yui's surface. He did have a chance at breaking them up and take Eve for himself.

-Why did they take Yuma instead of coming to get you? -this time Kou's question was genuine- Your beloved has strange priorities.

Yui fell silent. She wanted to trust Subaru, but sometimes it felt like him being possessive over her was more a matter of pride rather than because of wanting to really protect her as a person.

Kou brightened up again. It was rather terrifying. She couldn't tell what his real mood had been the entire time he had confined himself with her alone in the bathroom, had massaged her, squeezed her neck sinking his nails ever so lightly into her skin, and later probably tried to be sincere with her about his brother. It was all so unsettling.

Somebody, let her out of this nightmare.

-Anyway, make yourself cute for school, lil' kitty! -he put a lock of her hair behind her ear- I'll be in my room if you need me -he winked and left the bathroom, noting to GENTLY close the door for Yui to change into her uniform.

Ruki knocked on Kou's door and regretted it as soon as he opened. The excess of layers upon layers of hairspray slammed his extremely sensitive nose like a furious runaway train; it was concert day.

-We need to arrive at the Sakamaki estate before they leave for school, Kou; are you nearly done?

-Yes, I keep wondering why they have Yuma! I mean, aren't they super powerful and all that? -Kou put on even more perfume to avoid any kind of hint of sweat during performance- What brute force should we use if they won't give him back, when he IS our brute force?

-There isn't much we can do in that case. -Ruki sneezed, a remembrance of his former human nature- Except studying the mansion grounds for an entrance and-

-Can't we just tell that person we resign if his kids kill our brother?

-We can't do that, Kou...

Kou was overwhelmed with anger and confusion. How could Ruki say that? How was that woman, who was a mere human they'd just met, more valuable than Yuma, their brother?

-How can you value the mission more than Yuma, Ruki?!

-Kou, we haven't even started looking! -he put a hand up in a stop signal- Don't jump to conclusions. We're not going to abandon him, we'll see a way; remember we've had worse scares.

Kou nodded, worried,

-Those people must have too many first world problems to even want to hold a hostage by themselves -Kou said applying the 7th layer of hairspray and transparent powder- something about not wanting to do riffraff duties... Can't they just get some other girl?

-The car is here. Let's go.

Kou sulked. he wanted to keep arguing. Oh well.

After knocking the heavy Sakamaki estate gate profusely for about 3 minutes, insistence paid off and the tall, blond one called Shu opened the door for them.

-Yo! -Kou greeted, cheerful- You are Shu, the oldest brother, right? We've sort of met, we're the Mukamis, the new kids on the block! Nice to officially meet you.

Shu almost cringed but he saw no point and let him continue.

-Hey, do you happen to be holding our brother hostage? -Kou pulled a winning smile and Ruki's face contorted into mortification as Azusa subtly hid his behind Ruki- You know the one...

Kou gestured to indicate "very tall guy" with his hand; Shu looked genuinely confused, and Kou noticed with his "eye of truth" he was afraid as well.

-We don't have any kind of hostage at this time, not even our usual, but you do, don't you? -Shu was baffled at this surreal exchange, Kou noted- That woman?

-Indeed, that woman is now living with us; we're taking good care of her. -Ruki said- but we're willing to give her up for our brother.

Kou noticed Shu was sad, what the hell! Where were the others? There surely was a pureblood that was more proactive than this one, right?

Laito was returning from his trip to the bakery. A kilogram of macaroons could help ease himself out of that disturbing experience of a dream; it was kind of interesting, but for some reason he was unsettled and the sinking feeling wouldn't go away.

He entered through an attic window; there was something going on at the entrance and he didn't want to share the macaroons.

His ears perked up when he noticed this wasn't just some sibling encounter in the foyer.

-Indeed, that woman is now living with us; we're taking good care of her. -a husky male voice said- but we're willing to give her up for our brother.

Shu was entertaining the terrorist family, or at least, 3 impure vampires; he knew of no other group like it so far.

He hadn't seen them up close yet, but from the attic he could smell one of them had practically soaked in a bathtub filled with hair beauty products. Was this a vampire girl? He hadn't seen one in a very long time! Curiosity couldn't kill him like it did the cat.

Laito had a look through the hallway upstairs. There was no girl, but a guy who was practically posing in shiny idol clothes and sparkly accessories was obviously the one with the hair product waterfall.

The youngest-looking guy out of them looked like a sweet, but tormented artist up close. His style was interesting, but he could smell blood on him and some open wounds. Had he been on another mercenary assignment before he paid them a visit?

These guys were sure active. The expensive looking clothes probably signaled they were either great thieves, or were paid very well for their sinister work.

The tallest out of the trio looked polished, well-mannered and handsome. Almost normal, but Laito wondered why he was carrying a cursed-looking book like Kanato carries Teddy around.

He winced as he remembered the afterimage of that guy with a spell book.

The other guy, a tall one Reiji would probably describe as an oaf, wasn't with them. The situation was pretty chilling.

But he couldn't help himself.

-Why, hello there! -Laito came down to the foyer- welcome to the house of the people you robbed the day before! -he took off his hat ironically to greet them and grinned- What's up? Did you forget something?

Was this guy the house clown? Wait, all of them were a different brand of clown; but this one seemed more likely to talk the the blond one. Kou would have preferred the one with glasses, but the creepy hat guy would do.

-We're here to get our brother Yuma. You must be holding him hostage.

-Why would we have him here? Having a hostage is a lot of work and dedication, you know? -Laito giggled and Kou narrowed his eyes- Now though, how did you lose a guy who's like 5 meters tall? I'm intrigued.

An annoying one. Crap.

-Didn't you guys or that Subaru vampire kidnap him to get his personal snack -I mean, Eve- back?

-See, some of us have physical strength. But none of those have the motivation! -Laito gestured dramatically at Shu. He was starting to have fun. Maybe he'd only eat half the macaroons later- Maybe Subaru could have wanted to do that, but he's not strong enough to trap a gigantic mega-

-Ugh, cut the crap! -Kou barked- Why would he disappear the very next day we rescued your brother's prey from him!? Huh!?

-How should I know? You know where we live and our names, but we know nothing about you... -Laito's turn to narrow his eyes and smirked- ...Yet!

-You can just tell by your calm the lot of you have never bothered to give a shit about any of your brothers; of course not -Kou gestured toward the mansion's entrails in general- there is absolutely no need!

-It is often the moment you start to give importance to anything, that it destroys you... -Laito remained calm but stopped smiling- and in the end, when it comes to the world at large, said person or thing is very likely inconsequential, and perishable, immortal life or not. So in a way, can you really say it's unusual to avoid meaningless pain?

-I don't care if wanting my brother back is meaningless; when you have everything, it is normal not to treasure anything, not even someone you protect and who protects you, let alone a goddamned prey. -Kou wasn't sure this guy would laugh in his face or not, but his scars got the better of him- I do wonder if you people ever knew in your long overstayed welcome in this world what having noone, or nothing is like. Or even having any odds against you.

-That is not a bad question at all... -Laito looked him in the slightly sparkling, jewel-like eye he hid behind his blond bangs- sometimes having noone at least might spare you some terrible fate.

Oddly, Kou didn't think he was making fun of him. That eye irradiated magic. He reminded him a bit of those shoujo manga magical girls with a double life, but dark.

Ruki interrupted the sinking silence,

-Sakamaki Laito, right? Do you have Yuma as hostage, or not?

-We do not -Shu replied rolling his eyes, tired of all this sudden emotional philosophy- you can leave now.

Kou got a chill. This was just like yesterday's mysterious dream! He was becoming a bigger Gary Stu each day; now he was having prophetic dreams????

While Shu, Laito, Kou and Ruki were talking, Azusa, who was an expert at sneaking into places, had already scanned the mansion. He'd found a few disturbing and extremely interesting items, including a recently polished scythe he almost tried on, but no trace of Yuma.

-Ruki... they are telling the truth... -Azusa chimed in- Yuma is not here. Shall we leave and look for him... elsewhere?

Shu noticed him but couldn't be bothered to care his mansion had just been invaded and Laito looked too dumbfounded to say anything.

-Alright. We won't bother you with this again, Sakamaki family. Goodbye.

Do they know about you?

-Wait. -Shu called Ruki- I know you might not answer because you have my brother's girlfriend hostage and it's rather pointless to ask but... Yuma... where did you see him last time?

-Right after we took Eve with us. He said something about feeling bad for a guy passing out in the garden and leaving his apple with him. -Ruki thought of Shu's reaction to their visit,

-If my judgement is correct, that was not some trespasser, but you, Sakamaki Shu. We'll see you again.

They turned and left. Shu's throat had a huge knot. So he disappeared right after meeting him again?

-That was strange. That idol guy is an interesting vampire, isn't he? -Laito casually mentioned- I wonder if they meant they were taking "good care" of Bitch-chan like I thought -he laughed- and they all look good. Subaru will be furious... Hey, Shu, would you rather have Bitch-chan be alive and "having fun" with other people, or dead, but yours only forever, if you were him?

Respond to Laito? Talk to him about the dream?

-I'm going to take a nap. -Shu said in apathy and disappeared, leaving Laito to hear nothing but the the distant echo by himself in the cold, silent foyer.

-These here are our memories together.

Shu and Yuma were in a forest clear where they used to have snacks together. A tree nearby had a carved drawing of them playing with a dog, and another one a scribble of them on a rowboat with a bucket of fresh fish they'd caught. So many trees had stuff like this in this place.

-They are a little sad now. Even if we should be glad they happened at all.

Another tree had Edgar in formal, vampire world clothes that were a little small on him; they were Shu's. But he was smiling. Shu was leading him through the palace's elegant tables.

-Let's make some new memories together, okay?

Shu turned to Yuma to try to say something, but Yuma stared with suddenly frightened eyes at the drawing of his younger self in formal clothes, and as Shu followed his gaze he noticed a new red and black shadow behind Edgar; at once, the tree the were looking at suddenly exploded in a cloud of carbon.

Shu flashed his eyes open. He'd skipped school and laid down to sleep in the garden corner Yuma had set him up on last time before he left.

It looked identical to the day before, except the pillow made of leaves had already been swept away by the wind.

He'd go to school tomorrow night; he needed to talk to Ruki, hopefully Subaru hadn't obliterated him today during recess.

If this had anything to do with him... he just wanted Yuma, or whoever he was, out of his head and dreams. Whatever would bring him peace.

My Sweet Enkeli: Chapter 8

"Enkeli": finnish word for "angel".

When Noah Sebastian met Nori Nurmi for the first time, he knew he wanted her more than anything. She was beautiful like an angel and dangerous like the devil.

♡ Characters: Noah Sebastian × Nori Nurmi (OFC).

♡ Words: 3.022

Five months after the European tour, Forever Damned is about to start their U.S.A. headlining tour. Nori is beyond excited because Los Angeles is one of the cities where the band is going to play in two weeks and that is going to be the perfect opportunity to see Noah since he is not touring and focused on working on the next Bad Omens album. There's a calendar hanging on the fridge door at the tour bus, a heart drawing marking the date: October 21th L.A. GIG - Nori's handwriting. 

After Noah left Finland, Nori started to feel a huge hole in her life. She got used to being next to him everyday, listening to his voice and adorable laugh, looking deep into his brown enchanting eyes that always used to make her lose her posture. The hickeys that he left on her skin disappeared and she misses them, how they were the physical mark that he left on her to say that she belongs to him; she didn't even try to cover them with make-up. Nori never liked the thought about belonging to someone, she is a free woman and a free soul. But, for the first time, she likes it. Even though they talked everyday, things were not easy for them. Besides the time zone difference, they both got very busy with their careers so they almost had no time for proper phone or video calls. When they could finally make some time, it was not the same. Talking via phone calls was bad but seeing each other only by the cameras on their phones was torturing: they could see but not touch. All these difficulties made them realize that it's going to be better if they are still just friends. This is obviously not what their hearts want but is what their heads are telling them to do. Maybe, if they forget the idea of even trying to be a couple, they will get used to it. But that doesn't stop them from seeing each other when they have the opportunity and that's why Noah and Nori have plans to meet in a few weeks. He is going to watch her concert and she can't wait to look at the side of the stage and see him there, cheering and admiring her like he used to do when they were touring together. 

The band is staying in a hotel for the night because they didn't get lucky with the tour bus this time: the bunkers are extremely uncomfortable. Their tour manager found a nice hotel which had enough available rooms to shelter the whole band and the crew.

Meanwhile, Noah is preparing a surprise. He decided that he couldn't wait two weeks to see Nori so he traveled from Los Angeles to Seattle to meet her. Auri helped him with everything as she told him the address of the hotel the band is staying at and gave him her keycard to the door of the room that she was supposed to share with her bandmate.

It was not easy to make this decision. Noah had to think a lot about the consequences and had a serious talk with his bandmates before making any move, but he realized that it was what he wanted to do and his best friends supported him. Bad Omens is working on their next album so they are all settled at home, experimenting things and writing. That's why Noah decided that it's time for him to go after his happiness. 

He enters room number 504 slowly, trying to not make a sound. He takes his shoes off as he hears the sound of water running, his hand slowly turning the handle of the bathroom door as he hopes that it is unlocked. It's open! He lets out a silent “yes” while he takes a few steps in, seeing Nori's silhouette behind the water splashed glass. She is humming a random melody that makes Noah want to laugh but he holds it - he wants to surprise her. Carefully, he opens the glass door of the enclosure, peeking at a distracted Nori wiping the shampoo off of her hair. He stands there just looking at her for a few seconds, his eyes looking at her naked body from head to toe as his mind tries to reason. She looks just perfect as he remembered, like the Finnish goddess she is.

Soon, Nori opens her eyes and her heart beats fast when she sees Noah right there in front of her, biting her lower lip. Her eyes widen with surprise and a large smile appears on her face. She would never expect to see him now. 

“Are you real? Is that really you?” She asks.

“I think so” he giggles “I couldn't wait two weeks to see you so I decided to come after you”.

“Jesus christ! You're… insane! What about the album? Aren't you and the boys busy?”. 

“Kind of but we all agreed that it would be good if I take some time to travel and get inspired”. 

“That's perfect because I really needed someone to scrub my back”.

Nori quickly pulls Noah and makes him join her in the shower, his clothes and hair getting wet while their lips finally meet for the first time in months. They missed each other so much, how deliciously good it is to feel their tongues playing together. Noah has been counting the days to finally be able to have Nori in his arms again, to kiss her slowly so he can enjoy her taste, the way her tongue knows how to twirl with his own in the most perfect way. Her lips are still as soft as he remembered, tasting like strawberry lip balm like always do. It became his second flavor - it only loses to the taste of her pussy. 

“Fuck, I missed this…” she murmurs while Noah leave kisses on her wet neck.

“Lucky you I left my phone in my bag” he says.

“So what? Would you punish me if I had made you get your phone wet?”. 

“Definitely”.

“What would you do? Spank my ass?”.

“It sounds nice” he smirks. 

He rubs his nose on her cheek before kissing her again, her hands already working on his shirt. Their bodies are urging them to feel each other again, desperately wanting the maximum contact they can have. Noah pulls down his jeans and underwear together, quickly stepping out of them. He grabs her cheek as he pins her against the wall, tongue swirling inside her mouth as his cock starts to twitch against her crotch. With the other hand he grabs her thigh and lifts it around his waist so he has a better access to her arousal. 

“Fuck! How I missed your pretty wet pussy” he murmurs against her ear. 

“Fuck me, then”. 

Noah finally gets inside of her, feeling every inch of her core as he goes deep right in the beginning. Nori moans as she feels his length completely, they fit so perfectly it's like they were made for each other. He goes in and out at a steady pace, their eyes glued on each other as her hands grab his back. 

“I don't know if I can take much longer, angel”. 

“Shit! How I missed hearing you calling me angel! Don't worry baby, just go like that. It's feeling good already”. 

“Yeah, angel? I know you like me to call you that. My angel whore” he smirks. 

“I think I'm gonna come just by hearing your voice”. 

“So cum for me, then. You want me to go faster?”.

“Yes, please” she whimpers. 

“Anything for my angel”. 

Nori is so turned on and desperate that she quickly feels her orgasm growing, taking control of her as she tries not to moan too loud so the others in the hotel can't hear.

“That's right… Fuck, you're so beautiful when you are cuming” he says, a satisfied smile on his face.

“Now it's your turn, baby. Fill me”.

“I'm almost there… Shit!” He groans.

“I love to hear you groaning with pleasure” she giggles.

Knowing that, Noah makes sure to be louder when he feels his apex hitting, groaning and cursing right next to Nori's ear. They are both mesmerized by the moment, they waited so long to be together and it's finally real. They can't wait to spend every single minute of the night together. 

After taking a few minutes to catch their breaths, they wrap themselves in towels. Noah can't take his hands off of Nori as they walk towards the bed, his fingers digging through her hips while he holds her from behind. He rubs his nose against her neck, feeling the smell of her shower gel. Everything about Nori is so good to him that he feels his cock getting hard again. 

“I still can't believe you are here” she says before laying down on the bed.

“Me, too” he giggles shyly.

“We definitely can't be just friends, huh?”.

“Nope. Not a chance”.

“Will you stay to watch the concert tomorrow?”.

“Of course, I wouldn't miss anything!”. 

Noah doesn't want to mention the fact that he wants to stay longer than two days. He doesn't want to scare Nori with his hasty action. Maybe, tomorrow will be the perfect time for him to tell her about his plan and he wishes she also thinks that staying is a good idea.

•

The morning sun shines outside and the band is enjoying the good weather to visit the city before they have to go to the venue. But in Nori's room, the singer is sleeping tight. Noah is already awake, he's anxious to tell Nori that he wants to travel with her. There's two voices in his head, one saying that he should wait to tell her and the other one saying that it's better if he tells her as soon as possible. 

The room service just delivered a cart with a complete breakfast: pancakes, bacon, eggs, muffins, coffee and milk. There's also a red rose that he asked for as a gift for Nori. 

He carefully brushes the rose petals on her cheeks, waking her up. She opens her eyes slowly, the sunlight that comes from the window making her eyes even brighter in the most beautiful shade of green. She smiles as she sees Noah sitting on the bed, wearing just a white robe. His brown eyes watching her while he also smiles. 

“Good morning Enkeli” he says.

“Good morning… you remember!”. 

“The word? Yes, I do… my enkeli”. 

He locks his lips on hers, feeling how sweet it is to wake up with her - Noah really missed this.

“I'm starving!” She says, sitting on his side.

“There's food waiting for you. Really good waffles with strawberries”. 

“Thank God!”. 

Nori leaves the sheets that covered her body behind, walking naked towards the cart. She grabs a strawberry and gives it a bite. 

“Amazing” she says “What time is it? Did we oversleep?”.

“It's not late”.

“What time is your flight?”.

“Chill, Nori! Why don't you eat first?”.

“Because I want to know how much time I have with you before you leave”. 

Noah could make up an excuse but he decides to tell the truth because he knows Nori hates lies. 

“Actually I'm thinking about staying” he says, his voice soft just like a kid telling his mom he did something wrong. 

“What? How?”.

She is standing there facing him, one brow arched as she waits for an answer. Of course she would love to have him at her side, but she doesn't have any idea of how he is going to do this without prejudicing his role in the band. 

“I want to tour with you” he says like it's a simple thing.

“But honey…”.

Nori is extremely worried. The last thing she wants to happen is Noah having problems with his bandmates. If their relationship is going to cause him any trouble, she prefers to leave him. 

“I already talked to the girls, they are okay with my presence” he continues. 

“I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about your career. I know that you and the boys are working on the next album”.

“Yes but we all agreed that it's not a big deal if I work on the lyrics while I'm touring with you”.

“Noah, please…” she approaches him “Promise me. If I become a step on your way, you will let me know”.

“Angel…”.

“Please” her eyes start to water “I would hate myself if I become a problem. I will not be mad with you if you put your career in first place because I would do the same”. 

“I know” he caresses her cheek with his thumb “I promise. But I need you to promise me that we are gonna try”.

“Okay, I promise. I can do this”. 

A kiss is what seals their promises, Nori already working to open Noah's robe. He is also naked, which makes things easier for her. She grabs his butt, making him laugh between the kisses. Soon, they are in bed together, their bodies wrapped around each other as they face each other, their skin glued together as Noah's hands roam on her back going down to her butt, squeezing her buttcheeks. Noah's cock twitches when Nori bites his lower lip, her lips kissing his neck and biting his skin making him get even more turned on. 

“Aren't you starving?” He asks. 

“For you”. 

Noah lifts her leg and wraps it around his hip, finding the entrance to her arousal. He quickly penetrates her, making her leave a long moan of satisfaction just to feel him inside of her. His moves are slow, deep and hard while her moans are intense like he is killing her but is too much pleasure for her to handle. She closes her eyes, mouth open as she grabs her back and digs her nails on his skin. 

“Fuck…” she whimpers. 

Nori is still sensitive because of last night so her orgasm approaches her quickly, her core leaving Noah's cock milky and wet. She feels like she can't control her body anymore, her legs shaking while her appex takes over. Noah can feel how her walls are contracting around him, making it hard for him to hold on but he tries his best. He wants to make her cum one more time. 

“Can you give me another one?” He asks.

“I don't know, honey” her voice is weak. 

“I know you can”.

He goes faster, his thumb rubbing her clit in circular motions. He finds her sweet spot again and keeps going faster as her eyes become teary again. Sweat drips on her forehead and she shakes when a second wave of pleasure hits her, she doesn't have any strength in her body anymore. She grunts loud when a squirt comes out, wetting Noah's body and turning the sheets a huge mess. It's so damn sexy that Noah can't hold it anymore. He is about to cum, thrusting intensely inside of her. 

“Fuck… I love you Eleonoore, I fucking love you” he says before spilling his warm seed on her core. 

Nori tries to recover while Noah looks for a towel to clean the mess that they both are in. He said he loves her - two times! She doesn't know if the words came out in the heat of the moment or if he truly meant it, but it impacted her really hard. So much happened since last night and is too much for her to process. She feels so good on his arms, it's like her favorite place to be. If Noah really meant to say that he loves her, does she really love him back? 

•

The show is about to end and Nori feels like her heart is about to explode with happiness. Noah is standing at the side of the stage like he always did, watching her proudly. His eyes follow her movements like she is the only person there, his lips singing the lyrics of the songs that he has listened to every day since the end of their tour a few months ago, when he wanted to make sure what he feels for her, deep inside his heart, is something strong enough to survive between all the barriers that are going to be on their way. He wishes he could jump there in the center of the stage and sing with her, but he feels like it's better for his privacy if people don't know about their relationship. The last thing he wants is to see Nori being bothered by annoying people online. Now that they are physically together again he feels like he wants to be with her forever. 

When the show ends, Nori runs towards him and jumps on his arms just like she did that night in Helsinki. His perfume fills her nostrils as she buries her face in his neck, her heart beat loud and strong. Of course Nori thought about her feelings towards Noah, too. It was faster for her to realize that he was everything she ever wanted but the fact that they both have busy careers was what made her keep her feet on the ground. But, hearing him saying that loves her made her stronger to keep going and be with him for real. 

Their eyes are locked together, Noah wanting to say again something that he already did. He didn’t want to scare Nori but the words just came out of his mouth like he couldn't control it. He was feeling something so strong that he lost his direction. Looking at Noah's brown eyes and being in his arms after such an amazing concert makes Nori realize that she liked to hear it and she definitely feels the same. She promised him that she would try to be with him, and she is ready to commit to that. What the future holds for them is a mystery they are both longing to solve.

“I fucking love you too Noah Sebastian”.

“I love you enkeli”. 

♡ THE END ♡

I’m currently stuck sitting in LAX waiting for my flight home, so now seems as good a time as any to write my sappy little piece about the tbagg/dig era coming to an end.

(Tw - mentions of depression, death, and suicide)

I discovered this band in September of 2021. I’ll be honest, I don’t remember much from this time, I was depressed, working at the same shitty job I’m still at, I had very few friends, and I felt stuck. Like absolutely, no chance at anything but what I was doing kind of stuck.

For the first little while of me listening to GVF I was alone, listening to their songs on repeat. I hadn’t was at a dead end with writing, nothing was giving me the inspiration I needed, and I felt like shit.

But one night I was listening to them, and I just had this feeling, this warmth that filled me that I hadn’t felt in a long time and it was the best thing I could have asked for. I hadn’t touched tumblr since I was like… fourteen, maybe fifteen. So I started writing on Wattpad cause that’s what I had been using for all my older writing. I had previously posted my work for other fandoms on my page, but I hadn’t really touched it for anything else, so when I decided to redownload the tumblr app and post my GVF work, I wasn’t expecting much.

I especially wasn’t expecting what would be what I think is the best thing I could have ever asked for. Because of this band, and through this app, I’ve met some of the most amazing people.

I was twenty when I found them, and within the first month of listening and writing for them, I had found a group of friends that I couldn’t be more thankful for. These wonderful people, along with the music from this band, got me through the experience of my uncle going missing, and soon after finding out he had killed himself.

Within days I was back home, turning twenty-one on the day of the Troubadour show, switching between choppy livestreams of the show with a group of people on discord, and soon after I was waiting impatiently in a presale queue for tickets to a show in a different country, making plans with people I had met over tumblr to see the boys in Wisconsin.

The shows were postponed/canceled…

But I was already in the US when it happened. I had taken my first flight ever, on my own, to a country I had only been in once, fourteen years prior, because a band gave me the courage to make my own path, to choose the road.

I never did get the chance to see them with the group I had met that week, but I’m thankful for every day that I got to spend with them, entertaining ourselves in Wisconsin.

I’ve seen them three times since then. Twice in my own province, having gotten the chance to see them with @amouratomique and two of my best friends from home. Once at the barricade, and once in the bowl, stoned with my friends as we experienced the music that changed my life.

I thought those would be my only chances to see them on the Dreams in Gold tour, but on the drive to the airport to send Alba back to California, she asked me if I would want to go to the Anaheim show with her… and of course I said yes.

So I booked a flight, bought my ticket, and impatiently waited for the chance to see the boys again.

Then the show got postponed… but it was alright. I got to spend a week in Cali with one of my best friends, and instead of saying goodbye, we got to say see you soon. Now I’m sitting in LAX, after seeing them one last time for the DIG tour, trying real hard not to cry as a think about the amazing I’ve met because of this band, and all the experiences I would never have had if I had ignored that stupid fucking TikTok.

So to anyone I have talked to since the beginning of my time here, and to those I haven’t had the chance to get to know yet, thank you for changing my life. I love you all so much, and I couldn’t imagine where I’d be now if I didn’t know you.

Edit: I explained this to Alba after the concert, but early this month, I lost my grandfather after he had a stroke, and on the day I got the call that he had passed, after saying goodbye to him for the final time, that any choice I made to travel, and to further myself for the sake of me, and no one else, would be in memory of him. Because I knew that he was proud of my choice to explore for the sake of exploring. So despite the fact that I was already aware that I was going to cry at the show in Anaheim, it felt incredibly special to be at the barricade when the boys played the new song, and I could feel him with me.

Let's Hear It for the Boy: Finn Wolfhard

from STATUS Magazine August 2017 feat. Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp

by STATUS Magazine

While some kids hide underneath their blankets once they discover the monsters underneath their beds, Finn Wolfhard didn't need a lot of growing up before he decided to face them himself. Sure, the underground creatures he takes on are a bit fictional, but the young actor is braving the real world with promise and precision.

It’s not that hard to be smitten with Finn Wolfhard.

Just like the characters that he portrays, he’s a charming young boy who views the world with eyes of wonder and excitement. At 14 years old, he’s already been in two huge thriller franchises that most kids his age wouldn’t even dare to watch. He first hit our frequencies last year starring in Stranger Things as the determined leader of the pack, Mike Wheeler. The series might’ve catapulted his career, but his love for the craft has been keeping him grounded. “The only thing that’s different now is that I get stopped on the street for pictures and have a lot followers on social media, but that never changed my personality or anything. I’m just happy to be an actor in general,” he adds. Making his way from Hawkins, Indiana to Derry, Maine, he’s also set to star in the upcoming movie adaptation of Stephen King’s horror classic It as the buck-toothed goon Richie “Trashmouth” Tozier. While both involve a plot where children mysteriously go missing, we’ve found ourselves a star in Finn Wolfhard. He’s definitely got the “It” factor, and there’s nothing strange about that.

Despite being a middle-schooler, Finn is wasting no time kidding around. Although it seems like he’s shaping up to be sci-fi’s It-boy, he’s been gradually showing different sides of himself. When he’s not busy slaying strange creatures and dancing clowns, Finn can be seen shredding his bass and guitar, and he’s got an impeccable taste to match the skill he’s been refining. His covers of Mac DeMarco and Nirvana have been circulating across the Internet, in addition to the buzz he’s been creating with his band Calpurnia–and it doesn’t stop there. He recently hosted and performed at Sweet Relief’s benefit concert called Strange ‘80s alongside Sarah Silverman, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Tenacious D, and Slipknot’s Corey Taylor. And now, he’s stepping behind the camera with his latest project, co-directing a crowdfunded music video for Spendtime Palace’s Western rock tune “Sonara” with former Viner Josh Ovalle. With It premiering this September and the second season of Stranger Things streaming this October on top of his personal ventures, Finn might’ve seemingly bitten off more than he can chew, but never underestimate a small kid with a big appetite.

: You recently dabbled into the world of filmmaking, co-directing a Westernthemed music video for Spendtime Palace with Josh Ovalle. Can you tell us some of the directors that inspire your vision as a director?

A: I think my favorite directors would be Spike Jonze and Edgar Wright. I like Spike Jonze because he’s so versatile in a way that he can make skateboarding videos but also win an Oscar for Best Screenplay. That really gives me faith that I can be an actor and still be a director. And Edgar Wright’s incredible because he just knows how to create something visually. He has perfect vision. Oh, also Sofia Coppola! That’s another director that I admire a lot.

Q: We’ve also been seeing a lot of your band Calpurnia online. Can we expect any music release from you guys soon?

A: Yeah, it all depends on my schedule, but I think we’ll be doing an EP that’ll be out in the next couple of months. Hopefully next year, we’ll do some shows. We want to do as many shows as we can ‘cause we love performing so much. We want to do shows in Vancouver and a tour maybe next summer.

Q: Going into your upcoming projects, you’ve been into a lot of scifi and supernatural stuff so far. Was this a conscious choice or a mere coincidence?

A: It’s a weird coincidence for sure. ‘Cause when I auditioned for Stranger Things, I was auditioning for everything. That was just the right thing for me to do at that time. Same thing with It, and I’m glad that they were. It’s just complete coincidence. Acting is my favorite thing to do, so whatever comes to me, I’d do it as long as the script is good.

Q: Both Stranger Things and It are set in the glorious decade of the ‘80s. How were you able to play a character from a time period you have no memory of?

A: The cool thing about playing a character in general is you have to add yourself to it, so I try to put as much of myself into every character that I play as possible. Like in Stranger Things, I read the lines like how I would say them in real life. I think the only thing that really has to do with the ‘80s is that it’s set in a different time. If you know enough about it, it’s easy enough to do.

Q: You got the chance to work with Sean Astin for this season. How was it like working with him?

A: He’s so amazing. He was open to anything. I asked him every question I had about The Goonies and The Lord of the Rings. He just gave me so much knowledge and told me to enjoy being a kid but at the same time, be comfortable with what you’re doing as well as the projects that I’m in.

Q: How different would this season of Stranger Things be from the first one?

A: The second season is just like the first season, but better. It has the same sense of wonder and adventure, but adding more horror and drama aspects to it. I even think it’s funnier than the first. It’s taking everything that the first season did and just improving it.

Q: Moving forward into your career, what kind of projects are you interested in doing next?

A: For acting, I’d love to do a comedy or a drama. I don’t want to do too many sci-fi and horror stuff ‘cause I would just get typecasted. Obviously, I enjoy doing Stranger Things, but the genre in general isn’t always my favorite. And I’d also want to continue directing anything that’s written by me. I don’t want to misquote Matt and Ross [Duffer], but they told me, “If you want to be a director, you have to write your own stuff.” And I really like that ‘cause you have full control of everything.

Q: Being a kid yourself, do you have any tips for other kids who want to follow the same path that you thread on?

A: I think anyone my age who’s into acting should go to open casting call websites like Craigslist and just find whatever they can find. If you want to do acting classes, that’s fine, but acting classes never worked for me. I’ve learned to access my emotions way more as I went along. But it depends. If you want to study it, that’s a different thing. I only advise that you go to school for it if you don’t know anything about acting. But if you already know enough about it, then I think that you should just do your own thing.

I MISSED YOU TOO TUMBLR IS AGAINST ME IT KEEPS EATING MY ASKS THOUGH IT SAID THEY SENT

OKAY SO THE PEOPLE FROM YOUR CORNER OF THE WORLD ONE DIRECTION I love Louis tomlinson so much. I loved him in 1d and loce him now. We had lots of pride stuff at our shows because well do you know the story of Larry stylinson? -Louis probably isn't straight (I mean being in love with your male best friend would suggest) but he has never specifically said what he is also he's so support of his LGBT fans and we love and support him so so much. He's so sweet and his music is great and real and he writes about sad things too!

soooooo I drove 3 hours to Ohio to see him on Thursday after work. I almost got heat exhaustion so hot. They did not have plain water for sale at like 80%of the vendors it was just beer and cocktails (yuck and also NOT HELPFUL IN 90 DEGREE HEAT), got upgraded for free Cuz they had empty seats closer (oh my fucking gosh I almost died of excitement l) IT WAS AMAZING HE WAS GREAT. I then proceeded to drive back and go to work on literally an hour or 2 of sleep and since the pandemic no where's open late anymore so I didn't eat for a day and a half opps.

I went to his Detroit show yesterday and it was lit. He literally said we were fucking unbelieveable a minimum of 4 times and thanked us and called Ohio then michigan(both of which I was at) the best shows his entire tour. I just wanted to hug him like a bazillion times.

#one directioner forever sorry to ramble about my lifelong love for 5 boys from the UK. I just love things veryyyyyyy intensely. Maybe not the normal amount but hey

The staff wouldnt let us get streamers from off the ground :( I know that's probably an odd thing to want what can I say it's a memory. Although I didnt basically sleep for 3 days it was so amazing and completely worth it. I wish I could live it a million times over. Everyone was happy, and Louis was happy:) I am not social, but the atmosphere of concerts and to a different degree professional theater is just something else. We're all there for one thing, and it's so Beautiful. It's one of those times that for me personally my depression anxiety and borderline are far from my mind. I feel euphoric on top of the world and being happy is very nice. Being happy with others; seeing two friends dance or shout words to each other or smile it makes you happy too. Even when I don't know them. So I guess I am social in liking to be around people but just not good at speaking to them.

I also lost my car in a field because they have no signage and in a sea of cars where the fuck did I park. Who knows I wandered for 20 minutes until I finally stumbled upon it. I can't even imagine those people who drink then look for cars like my human you bad decisioned.

My most unfavorite part of concerts is just getting out of the traffic jam afterword. I've learned to get to your car and sit there until there is no line of cars waiting and you're golden. (That usually takes a while bit is worth the headache and wasted gas. )

THAT IS SUPER EXCITING!! I wish you were going next month, lol. I hope you have the most fun!!!! Ahhhh boo tests BUT YAY CONCLUSION!!! That means in a few weeks I can annoy you with all the newsies thoughts xD
