The Eras Tour | The Tortured Poets Department section | Version 1

Vivienne Westwood custom

For my own predictions post guessing at tour designers for The Tortured Poets Department set on the Eras Tour I noted: “When it comes to designers, I feel Vivienne Westwood would excel at this assignment.” The theatricality, the dramatics, the corsetry, the Britishness of it all (that cavalry / Black Parade moment). It’s the perfect style match and I’m so happy that Taylor and team fully hit the nail on the head when it came to selecting the right design partner for this moment.

The white colour of the gown ties into the established colour-leached palette of #TTPD while also adding to line of similar white gowns she wore for the 2024 Grammys announcing the album and in the album’s lead single music video “Fortnight”. There’s of course the wedding gown comparison, particularly for the way the skirt seems to mimic the gathers of a bride making a harried exit after being left at the altar. The way her lyrics are scrawled all over the garment also seems to combine Taylor’s emotive vulnerability in wearing her heart on her sleeve (and centering the ownership of her work) while also reading a little like the scribbling psychosis from The Shining when a single phrase was repeated in a typewritten manuscript. A part of me wonders if there will be additional variants of this skirt with other TTPD lyrics as we saw on the backs of the different album variants and Taylor’s grief playlist titles.

It also feels notable to me that this is an area in Taylor’s costuming that is absent of her signature sparkle. Sequins aren’t just a glittery aesthetic that Taylor loves to wear, but they also serve a function for stage to draw eyes to a performer and catch the light. In the same way she’s said that she can show us lies when “the lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night” in bravely going on stage every weekend amidst trying to heal a broken heart I also think there was a lot of catharsis and healing in performing these songs, her proudly owned body of work, for tens of thousands every weekend.

Live Emotion Game Introduction 1 - Live Performances

Out first proper look at Utapri's upcoming mobile game, Live Emotion is here!

The game is now confirmed as a rhythm game, and a short preview of the beatmaps has been showcased in a brand new clip.

As described on the official twitter account: In Live Emotion, you can play rhythm games and enjoy concerts. The idols will show off their brilliant performances in songs with live music videos, and in these music videos you will be able to change their outfits to costumes you have obtained during gameplay.

Further analysis below:

This matches up with the original preview image for Live Emotion, in which we can see the memebers of Starish realised in 3D looking out into an audience of fans and getting ready to perform. 3D dance visuals during songs has been a common element used in many rhythm games since Shining Live's release.

Dance: In the new clip, we can see Starish wearing outfits from the promotional art for the game (likely the initial 'UR cards' or equivalent) and performing their new group song from the Live Emotion Theme Song CD, 'Kirameki Emotion.' As with other similar games, there is possibly an option with less camera movement to negate potential motion sickness from long play sessions. The models used for Starish look the same/similar to those used in the recent 3D concerts (Song Parade, All Star Stage Music Universe, etc).

Beatmap Style: As seen in this clip, there are only 2 rhythm icons, (one on the left and one on the right) compared to Shining Live's 6. It is likely that this is an easy level of the song, and higher difficulties (hard, expert etc) will have more challenge with faster beatmaps, more touch types (swipe, tap, hold etc) and potentially more rhythm icons. The same tap noises from Shining Live are used.

User Interface: The score gauge in the top left (including ranks C, B, A, and S), and energy meter, and pause button in the top right are similar to Shining Live's layout.

Special Time Gauge: At the bottom of the screen is a 'Special Time Gauge' that raises with every rhythm icon hit (possible only perfects). Unknown what exactly this affects.

If you notice anything else, let me know! Otherwise it looks like we can look forward to mroe clips like this soon!

BROADWAY SHOWS SET TO PERFORM AT THE MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE ON NOVEMBER 24, 2022:

Funny Girl

"This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she'd never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.

Featuring some of the most iconic songs in theatre history including “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People,” Michael Mayer’s bold new production marks the first time Funny Girl will return to Broadway since its debut 58 years ago." - Playbill

Some Like it Hot

"The new musical comedy, based on the classic MGM film, has a book by Matthew López and Amber Ruffin, music by Marc Shaiman, and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman. The world premiere Broadway production will be directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw." - Playbill

A Beautiful Noise

"The story of the legendary Neil Diamond comes to life on stage in a gripping and uplifting new musical featuring his hit songs “Sweet Caroline”, “America”, and “Cracklin’ Rosie”. Directed by Tony Award® winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), choreographed by Olivier Award winner Steven Hoggett (Once, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), and written by four-time Academy Award® nominee Anthony McCarten (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Two Popes). Good times never seemed so good." - Playbill

The Lion King

"More than 110 million people around the world have experienced the awe-inspiring visual artistry, the unforgettable music and the uniquely theatrical storytelling of this Broadway spectacular – one of the most breathtaking and beloved productions ever to grace the stage. Winner of 6 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and based on the beloved 1994 Disney film, The Lion King brings together one of the most imaginative creative teams on Broadway.

Harry Styles gives Werchter audience a new home

"Harry Styles needed neither lasers, fireworks nor confetti to pack up Werchter's festival park: his charm was enough.

Pink T-shirts, boas and trousers flooded the Haachtsesteenweg on Saturday - we also spotted two jet-black Slipknot shirts on the way to the festival park, but they hurriedly legged it in the other direction. A parade of bright colours was the dress code that accompanied Harry Styles' 'Love on tour' concert series, which was due for its 161st stop in Werchter. That means more than 3 million people already saw the show - Werchter added another 60,000.

It makes the 29-year-old Brit an exceptional pop star. In 2010, he first found fame in The X-factor and ended up in the boy band One Direction. Those are rarely harbingers of a lasting career and sold-out Wembley stadiums (unless your name is Robbie Williams), and yet Styles managed to pull it off. He owes that mainly to his charm and irresistible personality - there were better singers in One Direction*, but that didn't stop Styles from gracing the most bedroom walls.

At Werchter, Styles did not show exceptional voice either: during songs like 'Adore you', the endless tour seemed to hang in his throat. But in the festival park, the Brit proved that few are his equal in entertaining. Styles incessantly handed out thumbs-ups, waves and winks, as if he were not on a pop stage but at a reception with old school friends. He adorned himself in boas, rainbow flags and cowboy hats from the audience, asked if everyone was feeling emotionally stable ('no' was the convincing answer) and congratulated the birthday and pregnant people in the audience. At times, Styles seemed more talk show host than pop singer: he inserted a chatting quarter in which he had a girl tell a joke about an apple playing the trumpet and asked another audience member about her summer plans. A third girl got the grand prize: she had written 'help me tell my girlfriend I love her' on a sign and Styles had the entire festival park declare love in her name.

Not the star shines, but the audience

That frequent chatting, musing and thanking sometimes took the pace out of the show, but picking up speed never seemed to be the intention. Styles is not a whirlwind that overwhelms the venue and leaves it dazed. He left the big, banging pop choruses needed for that with One Direction. Now he prefers to opt for nuance, as in the stunning ballad 'Fine line', the long-spun rock song 'She' or the frequent soul jams of his latest album Harry's house. In it, he left plenty of room for his ten-piece band to shine: drummer Sarah Jones played a starring role in 'Satellite', a wind quartet made 'Cinema' doubly catchy.

And Styles himself? Who focused mainly on his mission. 'The idea that we are separate, solitary beings is a hallucination,' he bellowed from the speakers before the show, a message he underscored by regularly bringing the audience into the picture. At their core, after all, mass concerts are not about the star on stage - who often seems smaller to many audience members than the beer glass in their hand - but about the connection in the audience.

Styles' songs that touch the most also allude to that search for a place to belong. In 'Matilda', the main character finds that place when she allows herself to break away from a toxic home situation. In the dreamy, romantic 'Keep driving', that place lies at the side of a lover, with all the world's problems in the rear-view mirror. On stage, Styles found that new home for 161 nights in the arms of a loving audience - and they in his. For a brief moment on Saturday night, Werchter's meadow was "a place to feel good, where we can treat people with kindness"."

(automatic translation by DeepL - it's not great but I'm too lazy to correct it)

*there is a hyperlink under "better singers" to an article about Niall being the third One Direction guy making number one, after Harry and Louis. It says nothing about the quality of anyone's singing so it's a bit of a weird auto-reference.

Searching for a Reflection Beneath the Waters

[twistedoverbloat]

you have yuu singing mcr now get ready for yuu singing " The Greatest Show" (brendon urie's version) at monstro lounge.

also i have no doubt that if they let yuu sing northern downpour or black parade at VDC they would've won

The Greatest Show.

In their third years they wanted to show the school how much Yuu did truly run this show and now they are passing it on to someone else. The crowd waited for Yuu to come through the doors. Then the music started and the song began. The lights were lowed down.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

There was Savanaclaw boys that stomped on the ground along with the who's to hype up the crowd.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

The crowd heard the doors burst open and saw Yuu with a top had, cane, and a suit. They smirked as the lights began to

"Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for. (whoa)"

They posed in a different pose. As they smiled another smile. The crowd watched with intensity waiting for Yuu's next move.

"Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor. (whoa)"

Another pose was striked as they tipped their head and threw up their cane.

"And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore. Taking your breath, stealing your mind. And all that was real is left behind!"

They began to walk to the stage as they singed the lyrics. They turned to Vil for taking your breath and looked at Jamil for stealing your mind. The old third and second years came to see the performance.

"Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya! It's only this moment, don't care what comes after! Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer! Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over!"

As the temo got faster Yuu twirled and spines as they waved their arms showing off as they get closer to the stage.

"It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open! It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion There's something breaking at the brick of every wall, it's holding! All that you know! So tell me, do you wanna go?"

They slammed their cane down on the stage as the lights shined off all the new third years doing circus acts.

"Where it's covered in all the colored lights! Where the runaways are running the night! Impossible comes true, it's taking over you! Oh, this is the greatest show!"

Yuu walled around stage as the acts continued everyone's eyes didn't know who to look at. It was all so amazing!

"We light it up, we won't come down! And the sun can't stop us now! Watching it come true, it's taking over you! Oh, this is the greatest show!"

Yuu ran around as a student shot fire out of their mouth. And another threw glitter along with it making it green. The growd gasped.

"Colossal we come these renegades in the ring! (Whoa) where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king!"

Yuu opened their arms as everyone watched the people around them show off all their unique talents and acts.

"Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya! It's only this moment, don't care what comes after! It's blinding, outshining anything that you know! Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go!"

Yuu's hat was passed around as everyone watch it go to one act to another. Everyone touched the hat once as it slowly got back to Yuu.

"Where it's covered in all the colored lights! Where the runaways are running the night Impossible comes true, intoxicating you! Oh, this is the greatest show! We light it up, we won't come down! And the sun can't stop us now! Watching it come true, it's taking over you! Oh, this is the greatest show!"

They watched as Yuu stood in the middle of all the big crowd of circus acts as everyone continued and showed off. All of then different types of stars. Yuu smiled as their friends had an amazing time.

"It's everything you ever want. It's everything you ever need. And it's here right in front of you."

They saw that Epel was handed the hat as he hit a high note.

"This is where you wanna be (this is where you wanna be!) It's everything you ever want. It's everything you ever need. And it's here right in front of you. This is where you wanna be. This is where you wanna be!"

Yuu grabbed their hat as they walked to the crowd to where the first years were. They were looking for the Ramshackle student they took in as their apprentice.

"When it's covered in all the colored lights. Where the runaways are running the night. Impossible comes true, it's taking over you."

Yuu smiled at the kid as they handed the hat to them. They smiled and took it and belted out the lyrics.

"Oh, this is the greatest show! We light it up, we won't come down! And the sun can't stop us now! Watching it come true, it's taking over you!This is the greatest show!"

The new Ramshackle perfect showed off how good they can control Yuu's role.

"When it's covered in all the colored lights! Where the runaways are running the night!Impossible comes true, it's taking over you! Oh, this is the greatest show! We light it up, we won't come down! And the walls can't stop us now! I'm watching it come true, it's taking over you! Oh, this is the greatest show!"

The circus acts were slowly getting replaced with the new first and second years as the third years now go and walk out leaving the new generation taking on their legacy.

"'Cause everything you want is right in front of you! And you see the impossible is coming true! And the walls can't stop us (now) now, yeah!"

The new Perfect of Ramshackle singed with their lover and new friends they made. They would love up to Yuu's legacy of helping this school from overbloats.

"This is the greatest show! (oh!) This is the greatest show! (oh!) This is the greatest show! (oh!) This is the greatest show! (oh!) This is the greatest show! (oh!) This is the greatest show! (oh!)"

The older generations of NRC watched as the third years joined them. They were getting teary eyed seeing all the kids who were first years now in their thrid year and almost graduated from this school.

"(This is the greatest show!)This is the greatest show! (oh!)"

They watched as everyone showed off the new Ramshackle perfect.

"This is the greatest show!"

And the lights were cut. After it was all done the new perfect came up to Yuu to give then their hat back and their cane. Yuu shook their head "These are your now. Make me proud kid!" They Wave as they walked out of the arena with their bow third year friends who were waiting for them. Yuu smiled as they friends grabbed them pulling them into a new world once again.

[chanandlersstuff]

Tell me if it's mutual

Pairing: MGK x Reader.

Summary: A concert, one specific song, memories flowing and you realise something important.

Word count: 2.521

Author’s note: I had this idea in my brain sience the album came up and now I got the time to make it happend. Also I inspired in this post and this song.

Colson and you had been a couple since a while but neither of you felt the need to come clean with the fans. He didn't have the best reputation with relationships and you were new to all that famous stuff, so keep a low profile just for now it was for the best.

Colson had invited you to the first concert of his last album and you were thrilled. All the gang was there, Casie too. You were looking at him shining just like the star he was, he was in his happiest time. Rocking with his friends, with his fans. He runs on the stage like a free animal, jumping from here to there, yelling all the lyrics with his fans and you just admire him with a big smile on your face. Seeing him happy made you happy. You still remember the bundle of nerves that he was when the album came out, the tears of joy when the album got the recognition it deserved, you were every step of the way.

“It's amazing isn't it? ”- Casie said and you nod with your head. He was singing Jawbreaker and he was smiling and singing from the top of his lungs.

“Yeah, he is his true self. I love that.”- Casie looks at you and smiles.

The song finished and the lights changed color and he was silent looking around. You frown your eyebrows and look at Casie but she was smiling.

“Where are you?” He said and you don't understand anything, Casie looked at you and she raised your arm and made you wave. You see him through the big screens on the stage and he was smiling. “There you are. Hello.”- You smile and wave, although you're not sure if he sees you. “Guys, this next song means so much to me because the person that inspired it is someone very special to me. You were with me when this album was just an idea and you are here now, I hope you stay by my side for the rest of my life.”- You open your mouth surprised. You had no idea that he was planning this. “Sing it like that day in the car babe. This is your song.”

The song starts and you smile like an idiot, all the memories that that simple song helds means the world to you. Every verse had its own memory.

Wake up, still drunk from last night

The first dates are always uncomfortable

Stayed up, I couldn't sleep last night

I'll admit, I'm a little dysfunctional

Are you okay with the fact I'm a little off track, to be honest

I've been through relationships, I've never been in love, but I want this

You remember your first date, oh god it was a disaster. You meet him thanks to your clumsiness. You were filming your first movie and in your enthusiasm for finally living your dream you entered the wrong truck, his truck.

He was stepping out of the shower and he was like naked, he thought that you were a crazy fan and called security. All that mess finishes with the director of your movie telling him that you indeed were an actress and not a stalker. In a way of apologizing both of you invite the other for coffee, at the same time. But at the time both of you were done filming that day it was late at night and instead of coffee you went out for drinks. One drink leads to another and both of you end up wasted.

At first the “date” was really uncomfortable because of the past events, but with a drink or two the night hit it off and was a very fun night. After that day both of you bring coffee to the other and take lunch together. One day you wake up brave enough to ask him on a date and he said yes. He tells you that he was a little rusty in that area but he hoped not to make you regret asking him out. And you didn't regret it, at all.

Ever since you walked away, I can't wait to taste your breath

Sunset on my black parade, and I can't wait to see what's next

When the clothes are off and the phones are off

And the lights are on 'cause you turn me on

He didn't kiss you at the end of that night, but he didn't regret it. He wants to do things the right way. All of you were a ray of sunshine, funny, sassy, a little bit clumsy and childish. Everyday you come to set with a new crazy idea in that brain of yours. He remembers perfectly that one day you came to set wearing a PJ of a unicorn, with the horn, tail and with a lot of shine. All of that because you were cold. Oh god the way he laughed when he saw you. You were like a minion beside him, so seeing you like that was funny and cute.

But oh boy that image was nothing compared to the image of you in a sexy red dress dancing in a nightclub on one of the days off you two got. Just the two of you dancing and partying, singing from the tops of your lungs. Sex drive by him playing in the background and lust and desire in both of your eyes was too much, the heat from the bodies and the huge need to kiss until you brains explote was too much to handle.

So you took his hand, rushed from the nightclub and got the hell out of there. In your hotel room, clothes gather on the floor, the light letting you see every part of him, every tattoo, every scar, every little thing. He sees every centimeter of your skin, every little mark and imperfection, according to you but to him you were a goddess.

Pick up, pick up your phone

I know you just gave me your number but I wanna know

What's up with us because I got a feeling

Tell me if it's mutual

Are you with anybody right now?

Or could you step out and talk to me?

I'd text you but it's better to call

'Cause tomorrow there'll be less that I have to delete

The film that Colson was working on ended before yours, so now he dont see you more often and that was killing him. He was used to seeing you everyday, and spent time with you. He was in his house with his friends partying but you weren't there and he was drunk.

So he did the first thing that crossed his mind. Call you. You give him your number the day before he finishes the movie. It may sound rare but all the time he knew you he didn't ask for your number because all the talking was in person. It was two a.m and he was praying that you were up. When your voice, fresh as a lettuce, appeared on the other side of the line he was relieved because he didn't wake you up. The voice in the background made him panicked and the first thing in his mind was that maybe you were on a date.

When you ask him why he called and if everything was fine, he started to ramble about god knows what. In his drunk state he declared his love for you but told you that was totally fine if you didn't feel the same. It was obvious that you were with someone else that was way better than him and started to number all his defects. You tried to stop him and tell him that you were filming a night scene and that's why all the voices were in the background, not a date. You tried to tell him that you like him too, that his so-called “defects” don't matter to you but he ended the call before you could open your mouth.

Cover my mouth with yourself, there's nothing to say

After that incident he didn't call you anymore so you take the matter in your own hands. In the moment that you had days off you took the first flight to his house and made things right.

You had to talk to so many people to have his address and prove that you weren't a stalker and in fact knew him. But after all that you were standing at his door re-thinking if that was a good idea. The sky looks like it may be falling in any minute, the rain didn't stop even for a second. Maybe not, maybe yes but you only live once so fuck it. Maybe you will catch pneumonia but that doesn't matter right now.

His face when he saw you in front of him was priceless. He was so fucking confuse and surprice. You did the same thing that he made you, you didn't let him talk.

“You call me in the middle of the night and scare the shit out of me. And assume that I was on a date and feel sorry for yourself, underestimate you and on top of that you hang up. So now you are gonna shut up and listen to me Baker.”- She always calls him Cols or Kells or MGK but never for his last name. “You assume that you weren't enough for me and put me on a pedestal. You were so fucking blind to see that I was drooling like a fool for you. The day we got drunk I knew that there was a 95% chance that I will fall in love and I was alright with that because you were worth it. And look at me, I don't know how many month later, stadinding at your door telling you that I’m so fucking in love with you that thats all that is in my brain, that I cant even count the months. So never ever in your life Baker take for granted my feelings again.”

Said that he was shocked was an understatement. “And the other 5%?”

“What?”

“The other 5%, what about that?”- The water soaked the clothes and the rain was falling harder.

“From all the things I told you. You hold on to that?”- She was looking at him like he was fucking nuts. And he simply nodded.

“The other five porcent scream to me that I was being a fool and that you will never love me back. But I choose to ignore her because she is a little unhappy bitch.”- He laughs and kisses you. Like in a fucking romantic movie.

And all the doubts that both of you had, disappeared. None of that matters now that all the cards were on the table. The music and screams from inside the house were louder.

“Are you having a party or what?”- Your hands were in his neck and his in your waist. Those blue eyes were shining and his smile was beautiful.

“No, the boys are having a game night.”- He was looking at your eyes and he lost it in them.

“Okay. I'm gonna go to my hotel and let you go back to your game night.”- You peck his lips and walk from him but his fingers intertwine with yours and he shakes his head.

“No no, you are going to come to my house, shower because you are gonna catch a cold and you are gonna tell me everything that I miss from set, missy.”- You smile and kiss him again.

This time he lifts you from the ground and makes you intertwine your legs in his waist. One hand in your ass and the other in the doorknob, both enter the house and his friends look at you.

“Col stop eating her face and introduce her, dude”

“Boys this Y/N. Y/N the boys. Later you can meet her, now we gotta go. Bye.” He didn't let you say anything that he was climbing the stairs to his room you assume.

And that's how you spend your days off, with him. Talking with him, watching movies, getting to know his friends and sometimes in his studio, just sitting there because you like to see him working.

Even the silence that I have with you’s okay

Let's do it like it's the first time, like it's the first time

One time when the house was too noisy and his head too he just held your hand, climbed to one of his cars and drove nowhere in particular and just parked the car, rolled the windows down letting the hot air of Cali and the sun hit your skin and didn't talk at all. Your head in his lap, legs out of the window and looking at him. The way the sun glows in his skin, his features, his perfect nose and jawline, his perfect face.

Later that day he told you that he sometimes needs to go to some quiet place and just enjoy the silence, but he needs you there because you bring him peace.

When he finished the album and his management hadn't listened yet. He made you climb to his car in the middle of the night, it was a usual thing by now, and listen to the whole album, even the songs that will be in the deluxe version.

Of course you listened to some parts when he was in the studio but seeing the hope and fear in his eyes when he looked at you in his car seat thinking every word, every melody, everything, made you realise how important you were in his life.

You spent all the night listening over and over the whole album. By the time dawn comen both of you were screaming at the tops of your lungs every word. You tell him what was your favorite song and what you think about every lyric. The first time you listened to “Hangover cure” you looked at him with tears in your eyes and a smile on your face. By the second time you tried to memorise every word and by the third you were singing and dancing in the car making him laugh. You even make him get out of the car to close his eyes, let go and listen to his own music. And that was how at 6 am in the middle of nowhere a langy 6 ft 3.5 blond boy and a minion were jumping and playing invisible instruments like mad people.

When the song ended you were crying tears of joy and screaming from the top of your lungs, that was a thing you have done since you met him. He was wearing that smile that you like so much, but he tried so hard to cover, glossy eyes and a loving look in his eyes. In that moment you knew he was your ride or died, that you wanted him for the long run, that he made you the happiest person in the world, that you actually and truly loved him.

3Dライブ「うたの☆プリンスさまっ♪ SHINING STAR STAGE -SONG PARADE☆-」開催決定！

#うたプリ

[geraskierslut]

sing where the other boys can’t watch you dance

(a geraskier au where jaskier is a burlesque dancer, and he immediately becomes the new object of geralt’s adoration) (full fic here)

warning: slightly nsfw descriptions, but no explicit sex

~~~~

As the applause for some performer-- whose stage name Geralt had already forgotten-- had died out, Geralt was getting ready to get up from his seat to find a restroom for a much-needed break.

But suddenly:

“Now please give a warm welcome to our first and only double-talented act of the evening… Dandelion!”

Geralt hadn’t thought much of it, at first.

But then the curtains opened and a single white spotlight gleamed on the side profile of a toned, brunette man in a sheer black robe sitting legs-crossed off the side of the chair in the middle of the stage.

And then Geralt couldn’t bring himself to move.

No music was playing yet, but the entire room seemed to be captivated.

(Geralt noticed that, unlike the other performers, Dandelion seemed to be wearing a mic. Which would probably wind up making sense within the next few seconds.)

The performer’s head tilted back-- earning a whoop from an audience member. Dandelion grinned ever so slightly before his red-tinted lips parted and he slowly, sultrily sang,

“Stars shining bright above you...”

Dandelion shut his eyes and continued,

“Night breezes seem to whisper I love you…”

Dandelion gently opened his eyes and turned his head towards the audience.

“Birds singing in the sycamore tree…”

The man leisurely leaned back, making a hypnotic display out of the way his back arched as he sang,

“Dream a little dream of me…”

Then the instrumental music came in to accompany him, as he rhythmically brought himself off of the chair and continued to sing the rest of the song whilst parading about the stage.

And Geralt was watching him with such devotion that he didn’t hear any of Yen’s amused whispers in his ear while Dandelion was on stage.

Geralt was watching when Dandelion eased the sheer robe off of his shoulders, letting them dance down his body to reveal the way his fair skin contrasted with his black-lacy lingerie.

Geralt was watching when Dandelion carefully ran his delicate fingers down his lovely yet exposed torso.

Geralt was watching when Dandelion slightly bent over, giving everyone a perfect view of the flawless curve of his ass.

And Geralt was listening to Dandelion’s entrancing voice the whole time, but especially when he sang the last, “Dream a little dream of me…”

(Because, whether the message was meant for him or not, Geralt was almost one hundred percent sure that he was going to dream several little dreams about Dandelion later on.)

i don’t wanna walk alone

somehow i never posted this? i wrote this last summer and i love unrelenting fluff so! song insp

pairing: royality

content tags: long-distance relationship, SO much fluff, proposal fic, brief mention of anti-gay protesters 

words: 1,277

tag list: @residentanchor @royally-anxious @bewarethegrammarpolice @jemthebookworm @arandompasserby  @sparkly-rainbow-salt @astral-eclipse​ @thelowlysatsuma @adorably-angsty @max-is-tired @almostoveranalyzed @potestessemagishomosexualitatis @hawthornshadow @mariniacipher

and, of course, @notveryglittery. perish😘😘😘

⁂

Patton missed Roman. Roman missed Patton. But they couldn't complain, could they? Not when they knew exactly what they were getting into with a long-distance relationship.

They'd made the choice for their jobs. And they loved their jobs, almost as much as they loved each other

Patton had gotten the 'better' end of the deal - still at home, surrounded by their established friend group. But they'd met Lo & Virge as a couple, had introduced Remy & Emile as a couple. Pat hadn't realized how lonely it could be surrounded by such dear friends.

Roman was the one on the road, with an ever-changing cast. Of course he had friends - he attracted people like fire draws moths. But he was, admittedly, a lot, all the time, and had a tendency to consume those who surrounded him just the same way.

They found time to visit, but even once a month was expensive, and never felt worth how short the visit was, and it could never be enough

Patton trudged through the city one day, admiring the sun and trying not to spend too much time thinking of the last time he'd walked through this park.

Roman, in London this week, did the same, trying his hardest to picture their hometown activities here in Berkeley Square. They could get ice cream, and Patton would get something bright-colored and sweet and it would melt down his hand because he'd get distracted while eating it.

Patton was suddenly called to the present by shouting voices. An anti-demonstration against last week's pride parade. He felt his heart sink, listening to their shouts.

He took out his phone, looking down to avoid eye contact with the yelling mob. But as the screen lit up, the picture was of him and his boyfriend at last year's Pride. Roman had been in full form: a rainbow cape, the trans flag powdered into his hair, killer eyeliner... and the shirt that said 'The First Pride Was A Riot'.

Patton stopped in his tracks. He looked up at the protestors, then down at his phone again.

He turned on his heel and walked directly home. He had some things to arrange.

⁂

Roman was definitely not at all worried or antsy that Patton hadn't yet responded to his 'good morning' text, and definitely had too much else to do to keep checking his phone over and over.

They had a new cast member, so a full dress rehearsal in addition to their punishing performance schedule. He was focused, for the group. But he may have quickly sent Pat a picture of the marquee, just to be sure that he'd seen their thread today.

The cast finished their run and started to drift away, laughing and handing out water bottles. They had a whole three hours before that night's call. One of the swings asked Roman if he wanted to join them for a snack, but Roman couldn't shake the itch of no response from Patton.

Finally, his phone buzzed, and he practically dove to check his phone. 

🐶💙: Hey honeybunches! Are you in the middle of rehearsal?

❤️🌟: Just got out, Pattycake! Can you call?

🐶💙: How about FaceTime?

Roman grinned and pushed his hair back self-consciously as the camera turned on. They usually saved FaceTime for their off days - they'd learned fast how much time could disappear into just staring into one another's eyes.

Patton's smiling face appeared on the screen. He'd redone his hair, a clean cut and newly-shaved fade. He was also wearing... a bow tie? a white bow tie? Roman couldn't make out the background either. It was too dark, but Pat's face was visible.

"Hey, sweetie," Patton chirped. "How was rehearsal?"

"It was really good, love, the new guy is great. Where- you look so good!"

"Awww, you charmer, this old thing?"

"Where are you Pat?"

"The real question is, where are you, Ro? I think you missed your cue."

Roman's heart started to jump in his chest as he stopped short by the stage door. No, he couldn't be... 

But his romantic heart urged him to walk back towards the wings all the same.

One of the techies, a wonderful human named Kai, was waiting by the greenroom door. He caught sight of Roman and grinned. "No going onstage without full costume, Roman, you know the rules."

Roman's heart had dissolved into butterflies, but he nodded in agreement.

"Which costume?"

"The ball, of course."

It was his fastest quickchange in the show, and he and Kai had gotten it down to a science of exactly 30 seconds

So less than a minute later, he was opening the door to the stage wing, fairly certain he'd already died and ascended to heaven based on his heart's current lack of function.

His suspicion was confirmed when he came face-to-face with an angel.

Patton was standing there, in the flesh, wearing a beautiful tuxedo that matched Roman's stage suit perfectly. He was smiling so big, his face looked like it was about to split in half.

"Hello, sunshine," Patton said, reaching out a hand. Roman meant to just take it, but couldn't wait a moment more. He grabbed his hand and pulled his boyfriend into his arms for a desperate hug.

"My sun and stars," Roman murmured into Patton's neck. "I miss you so much."

"I miss you too, Roro. Always, every day, and I don't want to miss you anymore."

Roman pulled his head back up, looking into Patton's eyes. They were shining in the stage lights, but had something on the edge of tears. 

"Ro, do you remember our first date?"

"How could I forget? You'd seen me in Beauty & the Beast and brought a single red rose with you."

"I also tripped over my own feet when I tried to do the fancy bow."

"But I was the one who fell."

"We both were, silly."

Patton finally revealed the hand that had been hidden behind his back, and then behind Roman's. It was another rose, perfect and red. 

"Ro, my dearest love. I hate being apart from you, because I don't get to feel that spark and joy of when we're together. I know it lasts until we reunite, and I know it will last for as long as we want it to. But I want to remind myself that it's always here, no matter where we may be."

Roman's heart caught in his throat as he saw that Patton's eyes were starting to glisten, and he was suddenly reaching into his pocket. 

"Pat?"

"Yes honey?"

"Are you-?"

"Shh, let him finish" Kai whispered from the wings

"Roman, I want the whole world to know what you mean to me. Will you wear this?" Patton slipped down to one knee, pulling out the ring box from his pocket. It was a beautiful rose-gold band with a ruby set in the middle. 

Roman was dumbstruck, and his mouth started talking without him. "How will this tell the whole world?"

Patton smiled up at him. "Because it's telling you."

Roman blessed his waterproof stage makeup as tears started to leak from his eyes.

"Yes, Patton, yes. Of course, yes. A hundred thousand times yes."

And then Patton was on his feet, and their arms were around each other, and they were kissing, sweet and slow and with happy tears turning their lips salty. And they were laughing through both tears and kisses, laughter of relief and isolation and joy and love.

They finally broke apart, and Patton grinned up at Roman. "Let's get married, honey."

Roman smiled back, kissing his boyfriend's cheek. "Just you try and stop me."

Musicals Ranked On What Percent of the Cast Album is On My Spotify Top 100

So fun fact about me: I pretty much only listen to musicals. And as a result, my entire Spotify Top 100 is musicals. I also tend to listen to musicals on repeat, so there are only 13 shows on this list. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to see how much of each show was on my playlist, so I compared the number of songs from each show on the list and compared it against the number of songs on the cast albums, then I found the percent. Here’s the results.

13. Matilda (1/26, 4%)

I’m kind of shocked that there aren’t more Matilda songs on this playlist, considering that I would have been in it in April. And yet, only one song ended up on my playlist.

12. Something Rotten (1/18, 6%)

I love Something Rotten a lot, but I don’t listen to it all that often. I actually have a poster signed by the touring cast hanging up in my room at my mom’s house.

11. Hedwig and the Angry Inch (1/14, 7%)

This is one that people on Tumblr might not have heard of as much. It’s an absolutely fantastic show that’s staged as a concert and it’s incredible and I love it. Shockingly, my favorite song from this show was not on this playlist. 

10. Frankenstein (2/26, 8%)

I think most people don’t know that there’s a Frankenstein musical. This one is shockingly accurate to the book, which I loved. Something you may not know about me is that I really love the book, it’s just so interesting. This musical even included the letters, which was super cool to see.

9. Groundhog Day (2/19, 21%)

Groundhog Day is one of my favorite shows that ended too soon. It closed on Broadway too early, and then the national tour was cancelled. Even without the pandemic, I don’t think you’d be able to find a production of Groundhog Day that you could watch live.

8. The Lightning Thief (5/24, 21%)

I actually only listened to this for the first time a few months ago, but I think Spotify might put more weight on the later months. I’m pretty surprised that so many songs ended up on here, considering I only listened to the full album a few times.

7. Billy Elliot (4/15, 27%)

I watched the proshot of this back in April or May, and I did not expect to like it as much as I did. When I saw Angry Dance I knew that I had to see this in person at some point. Obviously, I haven’t gotten a chance to see it yet, but hopefully one day I can. Anyway, every time I listen to Once We Were Kings I tear up a bit.

6. Trail to Oregon (5/17, 29%)

And here’s Starkid everybody! I haven’t actually listen to TtO in awhile, but for a while I would listen to it as I fell asleep. I didn’t listen to the full soundtrack during that time, I actually made a playlist with only the songs that I enjoyed listening to.

5. Starship (4/9, 44%)

Okay, so maybe this show is so high on the list because there’s only nine songs, but I still really like this show. I wish there was sheet music for it because I’d love to learn how to sing Life or Status Quo.

4. Apocalyptour (13/22, 59%)

Okay, so technically not a musical. But, it is entirely composed of musical songs, so I say that it counts. I really like listening to the medleys on this album, and it’s fun to hear some different people sing Starkid songs.

3. Hadestown (28/40, 70%)

Yeah. Over 25% of the playlist was Hadestown. All five of my top songs were from Hadestown. My five top artists were all people from Hadestown. According to Spotify I listened to this for a total of 933 minutes. No, I don’t know how I did that. I guess I listened to it on repeat a lot.

2. Tuck Everlasting (18/24, 75%)

Another show that closed far too soon. It’s so good, and I love it, and it’s extremely underrated and underappreciated. I love the album so much. I listen to Time and I cry. I listen to Time Quartet and I cry. I listen to The Wheel and I cry. 

1. Moulin Rouge (16/19, 84%)

So I know this one can be kind of controversial because some people thought that it got too modern when they put it on stage. I, however, love it. Shut Up and Raise Your Glass slaps. Crazy Rolling also slaps. I love Come What May so much. Plus, Karen Olivo is Satine, and she’s my favorite actress, so I was doomed to fall in love with this show.

So I also wanted to share exactly what songs are on the playlist, so I’m putting it under the cut. Get ready for a lot of Hadestown. For everyone who doesn’t know Starkid, I apologize for the titles of the songs in Apocalyptour. I did not name them.

And The Award Goes To...

After seeing this suit AND this walk, I had to come up with something lol

Pairing: Chris Evans x Black Reader

Warnings: None

“Well thank you for speaking with us and good luck tonight!,” the interviewer, Zuri, smiled, opening her arms to give you a hug which you gladly accepted.

The way your nerves were right about now, you felt like you could use a million of them and would take one from anyone offering.

Being escorted down the red carpet, your emerald green, satin dress seemed to reflect the sun rays the way it shined with every step you took in your gold, strappy stilettos. With simple spaghetti straps and a v-neck, the material clung to you from your chest to mid thigh where the left side split open down to just above your polished toes to show your leg, equally shining thanks to Rihanna’s Fenty Body Lava and you’re hydrated melanin. Photographers call out for you to stop for pictures as the sounds of cameras clicking and flashing lights seem to come in waves.

“I don’t think I’d ever get used to this,” your best friend, Hazel, whispers to you as you both pose for a few pictures.

“I’m not used to it either, this is just my first award show,” you answer as you resume your walk down the remainder of the carpet to the inside of the building.

“First of many though! Trust me, you just getting started girl.”

Being called the breakout star of the summer, you hoped that more roles and invitations to award shows were to come. Ever since you were young, you always dreamed of accepting an Oscar or a Golden Globe, and yes even practiced your speech in front of your parents, which they of course recorded and tended to bring out whenever they wanted to reminisce on your childhood.

In all honesty though, yea the accolades were amazing and you wanted them, but if they didn’t come you’d still be ok. You loved acting and to be able to do what you loved every day was all that mattered.

Waiting for everything to start, you sat at your table talking with your director and a couple of your other cast mates, as well as took selfies with Hazel. Looking at the picture, you see a blurry, yet familiar figure in the background prompting you to turn around to see if you were truly correct in your thinking.

Sure enough, you were and began quietly freaking out.

In what looked to be a chocolate brown, velvet suit with a white button down shirt and black bow tie, there stood Chris Evans looking as amazing as ever and currently walking pass your table to get to his. You never though you’d be hypnotized by a walk, but here you were openly gawking and wishing his table was across the room so he’d have to do the movement a bit longer.

“Dang Cap, bring that walk this way,” Hazel speaks, pulling out her phone to record him walking away.

“Put your phone down creeper,” you laugh lightly smacking her arm.

“Takes one to know one Miss let me openly stare at my celebrity crush and his booty.”

———

“Looks like your award is next!” Hazel softly squeals lightly shaking your arm. “I wonder who’s presenting for it?”

As if hearing her question, the announcer introduces Chris as he walks out smiling with card in hand.

“Whoaa that’s crazy!! You could receive your award from THE Chris Evans!,” she gasps. You managed to keep it together as the camera panned to you, softly smiling and being gently nudged by your director making you giggle.

On the inside though, you were a nervous wreck. You were already worried about falling if you had to walk to the stage, but now you had to worry about literally falling in front of Chris and never being able to show your face again due to embarrassment.

“And the winner for best actress in a comedic performance is...Y/F/N Y/L/N!,” he reveals causing everyone to applaud and your table to go crazy. Quickly hugging the rest of your friends seated next to you, you slightly lift the un-split side of your dress so it won’t potentially get caught on your heels as you walk.

“Welp here we go,” you thought to yourself, making your way up the stairs. Being the gentleman that he was, Chris met you halfway up the steps offering his hand to help you the rest of the way.

“Congratulations!,” he sweetly whispers handing you the figurine, which surprisingly had a good amount of weight to it.

“I’m really gonna try not to cry right now but chances are I will so I apologize in advanced for that,” you start, causing a small amount of soft laughs to erupt in the room.

“First off, I want to thank God because he blessed me with this opportunity, and I want to thank my parents who sadly aren’t here because of the flu but I know y’all are watching and I love you!”

“I also want to thank my friends both old and new, my director James, the cast and crew, and everyone else in my life that’s supported me and helped me in any way whether small or large. Ok I’m gonna go backstage now and cry and hope you all have a good night!,” you finish with a small wave as you turn away from the mic, applause behind you as you make your way off the stage followed by Chris.

“That was a really nice speech,” he says, now beside you.

“Really? Thanks! I feel like I sounded like a rambling mess.”

“You might’ve felt that way, but I assure you, that’s not how it sounded,” he replies.

“Y/N! Congrats on the award! We need you to come this way for another short interview with the press,” a tall, slender man with glasses interrupts smiling as bright as the camera flashes coming from the room where the interview was to take place.

“Well I um guess I’ll see you later. Congrats again!,” Chris smiles.

“Thanks and yea see you later!,” you reply smiling as he walks away to return to his seat.

“Yep this definitely will take some getting used to,” you thought, walking into what felt like a sea of cameras and questions.

———

“Tonight has been surreal!! Just being here in midst of everything, you winning, AND getting said award from Chris Evans!!! If I were you I’d be dead right now,” Hazel says grabbing a glass of champagne off one of the trays being carried by servers.

“I know!! I feel like none of this is real and I’m gonna wake up any moment.”

“Well it is real and I’ll even pinch you to show you if needed. Or better yet we can get your new bestie Mr. Evans to do it.”

“He is not my new bestie, and I definitely would not ask him or anyone to pinch me,” you laugh sipping from your glass.

“Whoa pinching? What kind of party is this?,” you hear from behind you causing both you and Hazel to choke on your drinks.

You from utter shock and disbelief he heard that, and her from laughing at your reaction.

“Chris! Hi! Um sorry about that I-,”

“You don’t have to apologize, it’s ok. Also if you did ask me, that’d certainly be a first,” he laughs.

“Um Chris this is my best friend Hazel,” you introduce as the two shake hands.

“Nice to meet you Hazel. And this is my brother Scott, Scott this is Hazel and Y/N,” he responds to which Scott shakes both of your hands and congratulates you on your award. “The answer is probably obvious, but how’s your night?”

“Amazing! I don’t want this night to end!,” Hazel excitedly answers causing you all to laugh.

“I agree it’s amazing, but I don’t think everything’s set in yet. And this probably will sound weird but I feel like Cinderella and as soon as the clock strikes 12, I go back to normal.”

“No it’s not weird at all, like you said everything is kinda unbelievable and it’s still a bit shocking. I totally understand,” Chris lightly nods before drinking from the beer bottle in his hand. “Also can I add that I love that movie.”

“Same! She’s not my favorite princess though, but I still love the movie.”

“Who’s your favorite then?,” he asks, leaning on the table with his elbow.

“I have two. Overall, it’s Tiana but for the songs it’s Ariel,” you answer.

“Can you believe? 2 grown adults going on about Disney movies like kids,” Scott whispers to Hazel, to which she nods agreeing with him.

“You should see her on the weekends. When she’s bored, she watches videos about all the rides, parades, and stuff in all the Disney parks,” she adds, lightly laughing along with Scott at you and Chris’ excited expressions as you guys continue on with your conversation.

“Hey you thinking what I’m thinking?”

“That we head to the bar and let the Disney fanatics enjoy their time together?,” Hazel answers as Scott links his arm with hers.

“Exactly!”

“I have the feeling this is the start of a beautiful friendship,” she smiles holding up her glass as he clinks his with hers.

“And hopefully a beautiful relationship between those two,” he adds as they reach the bar.

“Wait? How did you know Y/N likes Chris?”

“She does?! I didn’t know at all, Chris kept talking about her at our table during the show and when we saw you guys here I suggested he go talk to her.”

“If they end up getting married, I’m expecting a shout out for the both of us for getting them together,” Hazel replies making Scott laugh as they cheers once again.

———

“So Y/N, the people need to know, how was your conversation with America’s golden boy?!,” Hazel asks joining you on the couch, plate full of waffles, eggs, and fruit in one hand as she holds out her fork pretending it’s a mic to your face.

“Girl you need to relax!,” you laugh lightly pushing her fork away. “But it was good, I mean he’s super friendly and we like a lot of the same things.”

“Yea Scott and I heard a bit of your conversation and let me say if there was a couples Disney jeopardy game, you guys would more than likely win.”

“Hey don’t judge us, it’s not our fault that’s something we like,” you laugh. “He said how he goes to Disneyland pretty much every year and said that I should come along-,”

“Umm say what now?!?! He invited you to Disneyland?!?!!!!,” she interrupts after momentarily choking on a piece of egg.

“I wouldn’t call it an invitation really. It’s like when you’re talking to someone about a nail place you go to and say how they should try it out sometime. Plus it was after I said I hadn’t gone since I was a teenager.”

“Either way you got invited by a guy who’s interested in you to Disneyland, which is a dream date of yours!!”

“Just because he was nice to me doesn’t mean he’s interested Hazel,” you reply taking a bite out of your omelette.

“Well let’s just say an EXTREMELY close source, aka his brother, confirmed that Mr. Evans was definitely into you and checking you out the whole award show,” she squealed.

Now was your turn to choke on your food.

“Really?,” you ask pulling yourself together. “He didn’t try to get my number or anything though so maybe it was just a ‘she’s pretty’ type like versus an ‘I really want to get to know her’ like.”

“I don’t think so, but we’ll see. Even still though he definitely invited you to Disney and you better take him up on that offer or I’ll smack you then go in your place!,” Hazel adds, picking up your now empty plates to put them in the sink.

“Noted,” you laugh now looking at the messages on my our phone. Of course there were the usual ‘congratulations!’ from family members, your team, and your other co stars who were unable to come to the show.

Although he was there, your director even messaged you telling you congratulations again on your award followed by one of the sweetest message you’d ever recieved saying how much he appreciated you on set and that you were surely about to change the acting game.

Y/N: Aww James, I was trying not to cry today lol!!! ❤️😭😭 that was so sweet and I thank you so much for giving me this chance that has surely changed my life forever!

😎Bond, James Bond🎥: You’re so welcome love and deserve it😘! Also I have some news...

Y/N: Ohh another project you want me to be in?? Wait I don’t have to give the award back do I👀?

😎 Bond, James Bond🎥: Lmao no not yet and no it’s yours🤣🤣. The news is a certain someone who you were talking to ALL night asked me for your number and I wanted to ask you first before I gave it out just to be sure

Y/N: 😳😳😳🤯

😎Bond, James Bond🎥: Mhmm 😏😏

Y/N: Lol yea it’s fine you can give it to him

😎Bond, James Bond🎥: Done! Have fun you two 😉😂!

You expected that he was probably busy and you’d more than likely hear from him later. However the running theme of your life recently seemed to be how nothing turned out how you expected.

???: Hey Y/N! It’s Chris

???: That is Chris from last night, in case you know another Chris lol

“Oh my gosh he’s such an adorable dork!,” Hazel gushes from over your shoulder, making you jump.

“Can I have some space ma’am?!”

“Oh sorry,” she innocently smiles going towards her bedroom. “If you need me, just call!”

Shaking your head as she exits, you turn your attention back to the screen in your hands and hoping that you don’t make a fool of yourself.

Y/N: Hey😊! And can honestly say I don’t know any other Chris’ lol

Chris: Lol ok good. I mean not that other Chris’ are bad or anything. Looking back at it, I should’ve just left it at “Chris from last night” my bad 🤦🏼‍♂️

Y/N: 🤣🤣 it’s ok. Exactly how many drinks did you have last night?

Chris:😶....lets just say I’m not totally hungover, but my head is hurting a bit 😂

Hearing you laugh to yourself from downstairs, Hazel contently sighs before turning on her laptop as she plops down on her bed.

“Yep, I can hear the wedding bells and thank you speech now,” she speaks to herself as she smiles.

A/N: So this turned out longer than I expected and not gonna lie, kinda didn’t know where I wanted to go with it by the time I got in the middle of it😓 lol but hopefully you guys like it!
