#Rhythms

[carlos-in-glasses]

Thank you for the tag @heartstringsduet @strandnreyes and @orchidscript 🩷

Chapter 3 of Rhythms is now on Ao3! So here is a moment from Chapter 4, in which we return to Lake View High and Carlos might be regretting every decision he has ever made:

“Hey – did you know there’s a gay kid in school?”

“What school?”

“Our school, dummy.”

“What? No way!”

A third voice says, “You can’t be serious!”

“Read the poems, dummy!” the first person says.

Carlos concentrates on getting to his locker. He focuses his eyes on the end of the corridor, which seems impossibly far away, funneling off into a sharp point. The whole school balances on the head of a pin.

A lot more interesting to listen to than it has any right to be.

[Run motor. Run the motor. Run spinning rotation. The spinning rotation. And finding the rhythms. The motion. The aspirin. You could wake me up with silence and i could lose all control. Cause i said that i can't. That i'd stay and i'd never change.]

Rhythms

118k, 17 chapters all written, E, updates on Sundays on Ao3.

TK swoons when he discovers a sentimental scrapbook full of notes he and Carlos have left for each other – but he also unearths a book of poems that closeted teen-Carlos wrote about his struggles, including a few dedicated to his high school crush. An adorably mortified Carlos recalls the stir he caused when he was published anonymously in the high school paper, and everything he went through to write his wedding vows for TK years later. With TK as a hype-man, maybe Carlos can embrace his creative side again.

Read on Ao3

Chapter 1 - Love Heart: The day after TK and Carlos’ first wedding anniversary, TK is sent home from work sick. Back at the loft unexpectedly, he makes a surprising discovery about Carlos.

Chapter 2 - Club Can't Handle Me: In 2011, sixteen-year-old Carlos is both in the closet and in his high school’s wrestling team – and it’s all a bit too much. Perhaps against his better judgment, he turns to poetry and makes a decision that will change his life.

Chapter 3 - Crossroads: Daydreaming about his wedding vows mid-drive, Carlos gets pulled over for a traffic violation – and Gabriel isn’t happy. Reunited with TK, Carlos might be lost for words, but he finds another way to express his love and desire.

“I was just remembering–” Carlos says, “The first time you stayed for a while after one of our hookups. It was, like, the third time we hooked up, I think. I asked if you wanted tea and cookies and you looked at me like I’d said the weirdest thing ever.”

TK’s exhausted, puffy face breaks into a dazzling grin. “You were being such a Boy Scout.”

“But then you said yes and you ate half the cookie jar.”

“You called me the Cookie Monster.”

“That was the first time I really made you laugh.”

“Tea came out my nose.”

“It was beautiful,” Carlos says, pausing then to qualify: “Your laugh.”

TK gazes up at him, his clear green eyes large and shining. “I can’t believe you remember that.”

“The first time you made me laugh was when we were dancing at the honky-tonk.”

“Hey!” TK swats his arm. “I was trying my best!”

“You were so goofy,” Carlos chides. “I just loved it. I loved you.”

GS || Rock N Roll, Rief!

If I only could think about some Rock N Roll ideas with a fictional character that I want to think over, so I decided to draw Rief from Golden Sun & in Dark Dawn playing his electric bass (that kinda sounds like an electric guitar) to the Rock fans who wanted to hear him play the guitar bass, so I hope they're all jamming all over to Rief's rhythms & tunes! You'll get rocking & rolling, Rief! & Oh, not to mention, but I tried doing a Gacha trend for Rief's bass practice showing the musical points due like playing the Guitar Bass for My Chemical Romance, but it's unfortunately not the case.

I don't know about you guys, but I did this on TikTok for his guitar bass practice, & just did the fanart of it since I can try this if I like.

Rules: DO NOT STEAL MY ART! No Rude Comments please.

Rief belongs to Golden Sun/Dark Dawn (Gameboy & Nintendo).
