If i can request. Can i request a floyd x male rock troll or techno troll reader headcanons

And maybe his brother’s reaction to it I’ve just been obsessed with floyd being with different types of trolls

Floyd dating a Male! ROCK S/O

Pairings: Floyd X Reader

Warnings: Floyd being an cutie patootie, Fluff

A/N: OMG YESSS ROCK TROLLS ARE SO NEHFBERHSVBNAIWB I LOVE THIS OKAY OKAY OKAY! I'm an Goth person but I LOVE Rock and lots of other music genres Rock and Metal is one of them so I was excited for this request! I hope you like these! I did this for fun and I enjoyed it so much thank you for the request lovely! <33

- FUCK YESSS ROCK N ROLLLL!!!! - OKAY I'M LIKE SCREAMING FOR THIS REQUEST ANYWAY! HOPE YOU ENJOY LOVELIES! - Rock trolls were known for well their history and one of them was working with Barb for the rock apocalypse and were also known for their music wit some trolls saying "Rock n Roll and Metal is all noise and screaming!” which was half right and wrong but was also stupid stereotypes -  Rock trolls looked like pop trolls but they have more fierce looks. Rock trolls clothing is often tattered, and they commonly have piercings and heavy black makeup. Most Rock Trolls favor dark colors such as grey, dull blue and black, as well as the occasional white and bright red. Their noses are usually arrowhead-shaped, and their ears have a sharper point, which is a defining trait of their Tribe - And the fact they were more wilder looking terrified some trolls yet were interested - Floyd was traveling to 'find himself' after his argue with brozone and ended up to rock volcano city to check out different genres and ended up at an concert which you were apart of.

- Floyd saw you when you were playing with the other rock trolls singing loudly and happily while playing your instrument with an huge smile

- He was invested in the music but also Invested in you... your wild appearance your smile and many piercings along with your tattoos made him feel lured in as he was close to the stage staring at you most of the time

- Blushed when you winked at him while playing your instrument and was attracted more to the music and how you maintained eye contact with him while some rock trolls snickered at floyd and his blushing face

- Once the show was done barb introduced herself to Floyd and introduced you to floyd as you greeted him with an smile before winking at floyd who blushed looking away pushing his hair behind his ear while staring at you - When Barb dragged floyd around to show him more of rock culture you were walking behind the group listening to your music as floyd soon walked over smiling at you shyly "hey your (name) right?" "Oh yeah" you said taking out an earphone as he blushed

- "Uhm you were cool on stage it was awesome you think you can show me how to play? Rock sounds cool" Floyd said blushing as you grinned "Oh damn! really?" You said looking away as floyd nodded "well... I wouldn't mind teaching you" Floyd looked away "I'd like that"

- He would come by every two weeks to have you introduce him to rock music then two weeks came to once an week and once an week came by once every 2 days

- You got close and sometimes you two would play guitar together and would exchange favorite songs

- He learned how to play your favorite song on his acoustic guitar

- You two would do duet songs of rock songs but if he could convince you to sing pop songs he'd melt into your hands

- Would realize he likes you when you hugged him goodbye after he came to volcano rock city for your daily hangouts - Randomly shows each other affection at the most random moments

- Sometimes you'd hold each others hands whenever talking to other trolls and you two would kiss each others cheek and go back to your conversations to others who just stare with their jaw drop

- You two soon started to date after 4 months of hanging around each other as usual

- When he got taken away you had to find Branch for help

- Once you're reunited you two basically run to each other and hug with tears streaming down your eyes as you held his waist cupping his face “Did they hurt you?!” “No, I'm okay! Did they hurt you?!” “Who cares?” “I do!” you two literally cry and kiss each other for an moment before pulling away as you held him close

- Would beg you to please understand how he didn’t mean for that to happen to him and you’d have to cry as-well holding him close telling him it’s alright.

- you moving his hair out of his face makes him melt as you pepper his face with kisses telling him he’s safe and your there.

- You would go back to singing pop rock covers of songs together as you sing together sweetly before kissing eachother with an smile

Curls

Ledger!Joker x Fem!Reader

Warnings: None just pure fluff

Summary: J and the reader bond over their shared hair type.

Author’s Note: Okay this was pure self indulgence 😅 I have curly hair. J has curly hair. I just had to write this. I’ve been up since 4am so I decided to make use of my time by writing this little oneshot. It’s current 8am now so I managed to finish this pretty quick. As always, enjoy! 💜

Taglist: @alittlesmartcookie

If anyone else wants to be added to the list let me know! It’ll be for all my J x Reader fics ☺️

It was late in the evening and pouring rain outside. Your ideal night in with J. The sounds of a thunderstorm helped you both relax and fall asleep faster, especially J. You weren’t quite ready for bed yet but you began your nightly routine anyway.

You started with a shower and washed your hair. Now, your hair is different from most people’s. It’s curly and has a mind of its own. It gets tangled very easily and has oh so much frizz. But you loved your natural curls and how they look. 

J loved them too. His hair was a bit shorter than yours but he had curls of his own. Unlike you, he didn’t care too much about his hair to try and tame them. 

You finished up in the shower and wrapped yourself in a towel. With your hair temporarily straightened out from the wash, you took the opportunity to brush it out.

If you brushed it out when it was dry and curly, one of two things would happen. Your hair would become extremely bushy or the brush would get stuck. You didn’t want either to happen.

When you finished brushing, you walked out into the bedroom and changed into a hoodie and shorts. Your hair was already beginning to take on its original shape again as it dried. 

You crawled into bed with J and nestled close to him. You were pleasantly surprised that he had already taken his shower and washed his hair. His make up was removed and he smelled like his shampoo.

You chuckled. “You took a shower? Who are you and what have you done with my J?”

J huffed. “I needed one. Today’s work was gruesome.”

“I know,” you shuddered, “You were covered in blood when you got home, especially your hair.”

“Yeah. Speaking of that, can you, uh, untangle it? It’s still damp. There’s a huge knot towards the back.” 

“Of course. Hang on a second. Let me go grab some things.”

You went into the bathroom to get a comb and your detangling spray and climbed back onto the bed. J sat up, leaned back towards you, and let you work. He’d watched you do this before. You had mastered the art of detangling stubborn hair. From years of practice of course. 

You divided the big knot into little knots and went from there. You hated to pull on his hair but J didn’t seem to mind. You sprayed, picked the tangles with the comb, and pulled some apart, repeating the process until J’s hair was tangle free.

You set the comb and spray down on the nightstand and admired your work.

J exhaled. “Ah, thanks doll. Feels much better now.” 

You smiled. “I just like your curls. They’re prettier than mine.”

“Nah. I wouldn’t go that far. You know, I used to have hair just like yours back in high school.” 

You laughed. “What? No way.” 

“Yes way. It was long and pretty like yours. I looked like I belonged in a rock band or something. It went down to ‘bout the middle of my back. But I cut it short because it got annoying after a while.”

“You should grow it back. I’d love to have seen that.”

“No, this is as long as I’ll go. Long flowing hair is a weakness when you’re fightin’. One yank and I’d be thrown off balance.” 

“Yeah. I’d still like to see it though. I bet you pulled it off nicely.”

“Oh I did. I hated to get rid of it but it just became a nuisance. I like this a lot better.”

The thought of J having such hair was so amusing to you. You laughed out loud again.

J raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“I’m just picturing you headbanging to your music with that hair.” You told him through a fit of giggles.

J grinned. “I did a lot of that actually. You can’t listen to a good metal band and not.” 

You regained control over your laughter and you kissed J’s scarred cheek. 

“I’ll love your hair no matter what you do to it. I’m glad I can share my curls with you.”

“Back at ya, bunny.”

I feel like the ot7 "love all members equally" became such line pushed from some of the fandom in response to solos acting up and attacking anyone who they thought/think doesn't support the member they stan. It was almost a direct response to the "fake ot7, you're a ot6 or x member anti" that has become such a copy paste attack, so it almost became a copy paste response.

A world where each solo work is as equally supported or successful was unrealistic to anyone not too caught up in stan life. Taking member popularity out of the equation, even Bts songs perform differently and have different success levels depending on the actual song type, the release strategy etc. I think some people forget that despite army being massive they are not a hive mind for one, but also Bts have a lot of fans who aren't actively engaged in online fandom life or stan culture. Casual listeners, people who consider themselves fans, but don't spend any time online in kpop spaces, general music fans who like them. People like to put all their success on fandom, which yes Army play a massive role in, but they end up being very dismissive of the mystical gp people talk about so much. Bts have general music fans as listeners. If army was singularly responsible for everything then every bts song would perform as well as if not better then the previous and we know that in itself isn't true. It was the goto after Dynamite and Butter to treat anything not reaching those levels as a failure. If we can acknowlege their own group songs perform less well (well less well by chart watchers anyway) by being a korean ballad over an upbeat pop song, then that also extends to their solo releases as well. Infact most music artists have songs that hit and songs that miss charting wise despite having their own fanbases to help push them.

It's also perfectly normal for people to have preferences. Nobody loves each bts song equally. People prefer different genres and will act accordingly. Personally I'm more rapline biased so I naturally prefer and listen to their solo music more. On opposite side I've never really connected with Taes solo music prior to chapter 2. Does it mean I hate him? No it just means I have a musical preference.

People criticise army for being brainwashed and mindlessly supporting everything whether they like it or not, then criticise army for not being brainwashed and letting preferences show.

I guess my point is that we can't say Bts have broken through beyond kpop meaning getting on the radar of non kpop fans and then try and pin everything about them at this point onto only their kpop fandom. There's a difference between being a stan and being a fan and Bts don't just have stans they have fans. Look at how wonderfully diverse army can be from race, gender, age etc and you think all those people are sitting on twitter or tiktok? That every single butt that fills those stadiums also has an online stan account? It might come as a shock to solos, but even people whe might like one members solo music won't automatically develop a hatred towards their group and other members because general music fans are not hyper competitive in that way.

It's like Yoongi talks about people seeing the world in black and white, when most people are grey. Stans, certain factions of army, solos etc they see things about Bts, the members, Army and achievements in black and white, but there are many Army or general Bts fans that exist in the grey area and the grey area isn't a hive mind so people need to stop expecting the actions and results of one.

Anyway sorry for my rant, it's not directed at you bpp because I feel like you'll understand what I'm saying. I've been thinking about it for a while and its a topic you've been discussing recently, so it just came out.

***

Yeah, I get what you mean and agree for the most part.

I'll copy-paste what I said in the replies earlier:

"The notion of ‘equal in every way every time’ is a mantra that actually comes from solo stans, that ARMY started mirroring back because in group systems, nuance isn’t well communicated. The reality is that while all the guys are equally responsible for the group’s success and should get similar support over the course of their careers, the nature of that support will likely change depending on year/era/concept etc. It requires us to focus more on ‘equity’."

I don't really blame the fandom because I understand it's easier to say 'treat the members equally' when what you actually mean to say is 'Recognize all the members contribute equally to the group and should get your support if you claim to support BTS within your means, preferences, and ability, no matter how that support looks like. Also, 'support' doesn't mean interloping their team and management to push your own preferences on them if what you see isn't what you like.'

BigHit has always seemed to highlight different members or sub-units of members in different eras, rather than equal focus on all seven all the time. It's like the line distribution discourse: they select different members to use in different ways depending on the song. Someone doing only adlibs could just as much to add to the quality of the song as someone with half the lines. Like I've said, BTS is a team, a utility tool, or a room of weapons that they all decide on strategically using to elevate the whole group from time to time. From my observation it was:

JK + rapline - 2013

Jimin + rapline - 2014 - 2015

Jimin + Jungkook - 2016 - 2017

Taehyung + Seokjin - 2018

Seokjin + OT7 - 2019

Jimin - 2020

Taekook - 2021

JK / OT7 or Chapter 2 - 2022 till date

It doesn't mean the other members were being 'mistreated' during those times either despite the akgaes of those members being absolutely convinced this was happening. BTS is just continuing in Chapter 2 a pattern they've showed throughout their career. All the members' debuts have been of outstanding quality and have been some of the best releases this year. It's clear the members ideas drove the music, concept, and presentation, and they're all reflecting on how to improve based on the feedback they've received. That to me is the most important thing in Chapter 2, and why I simply cannot force myself to be worried for them. That also would not have been possible under a company that's looking to stifle them or limit their potential. It's simply not how these things work here. Jungkook and Seven is the weapon they've decided to use this time and I hope they're successful.

"People criticise army for being brainwashed and mindlessly supporting everything whether they like it or not, then criticise army for not being brainwashed and letting preferences show."

Like I keep saying, it's a myth that people in the fandom are being coerced to support everything BTS releases. The fact is everyone here does what they want, and the overwhelming support BTS gets is because they have that many fans who genuinely like what they put out and want to support it. The results frankly speak for themselves and many narratives from multis, mantis, akgaes, and other k-pop stans, haven't matched the reality for a long time. The only reason it's still spread is two reasons: copium and hate.

*

It doesn't surprise me that the fandom is in this state tbh. I did a poll three months ago asking when people joined the fandom, and it showed ~60% of the responders joined after 2020. And many of these people are in jikook spaces (given I posted the poll on my blog) so I'd assume many could be very heavily biased to one or two members, and that's usually a pre-cursor to becoming a full-blown akgae unless someone actively de-radicalizes themselves. The only limiting factor for that transformation, is time.

I've been getting an ask from an acct for months asking the same thing. It's like they copy-paste the exact same ask into my inbox at the same time every week. I've never replied. One time they slipped up and posted the ask without being anonymous, so I saw their profile. This person was asking me why people in the fandom hate Jimin, how there were many OT6s, how they think I'm one myself, how they didn't understand how someone as sweet as Jimin would have people dislike him much less hate him. I looked at that person's profile, saw their following list filled with self-avowed PJMs whose blogs were more about 'Tedros', 'Payolakook', 'arrogant, selfish, stingy Yoongi and Namjoon', 'useless Seokjin', and 'sweet j-hope' (I'll come back to this), than anything about Jimin, his words, and his art. In fact, j-hope who was initially lauded on one blog as Jimin's only true friend in BTS (it doesn't escape me how he's had the furthest debut time from Jimin), was a fave until someone pointed out how he 'hogs' the dancer position in BTS and that he actually released On The Street close to FACE, and then Hobi became an asshole too according to those PJMs lmaooo. Like, these people just have such a simplistic, juvenile approach to BTS that I'd assume they were children, if not for the fact we see the same thought process play out in our politics - the realm of so-called adults.

Looking at that account's posting history, it was clear this person likely wouldn't think of themselves as a solo stan. Maybe just someone with a heavy bias who 'doesn't want to be in an echo chamber', or feels interacting with that part of the fandom is necessary to properly support their bias, or who wants to see frequent updates related to their biases; but it amused me how they could not draw a connection between their actions, their tolerance of hate towards members they don't think are as important/talented/etc as Jimin, and the state of the fandom towards the member they like. Like, do they think they're the only 'heavily biased ARMY' who casually scrolls pages that treat their bias like a god but nitpicks and tear down other members for real and perceived slights? Do they not see how they are creating the very problem they're observing? A lot of people are comfortable with supporting relentless 'criticism' or flat out hate thrown at other members (maybe even a member that person also doesn't like), but then act surprised that someone else in the fandom is just as comfortable with that mindset towards their bias. These people are mirrors of the exact same behaviours they say they hate, just towards the members they don't care about.

It's one of the most curious, hilarious, cognitive dissonances I see in these parts tbh.

But anyway, unless there's something drastic that splinters the ease with which people like this can stay and move around in the fandom, the situation will only worsen towards a full implosion. And if JK indeed gets a nomination, I'll be very happy. For many reasons. But the tantrums and resulting chaos will be a pain. If he doesn't get a nom, the heaving sighs of relief from the fandom too will be a separate problem loool. And then, *gasp* another k-pop act snagging the nomination and/or winning? Might as well become a prepper and plan for Armageddon.

Fun times ahead for the Purple Bloods! :)

Sing Yourself to Sleep - Part Six - Bucky x Y/N - Secret Love Song

This part has been my favourite to write so far, which is why it is the longest. And this song is actually what inspired the series. Based on Secret Love Song by Little Mix feat. Jason Derulo.

Some people say this song is actually an LGBT anthem, I feel that more so for the version with just Little Mix. In this version Derulo clearly sings 'Nobody knows, I'm in love with someone's baby.' So I take it to be that this version is more about an affair type situation. Music is always up to interpretation, so if you feel the song is about something different, that's okay. Anyways, Enjoy!

Bucky was sad, and angry, maybe mostly angry. He had been offered a weekend pass to go to London, but he didnt want to go. He did want to go, but not without her. He could picture it clear as day, walking through Hyde Park hand in hand, sitting in a cosy little pub with their arms around each other. Nobody would know them, nobody would know that she was married to another man, people would just see a soldier and a girl, his girl. Then at night, oh boy at night... Bucky imagined all the ways he would show her his undying love for her. The way he would touch and kiss her. It would be heaven.

Sadly his fantasy would stay just that. There was no way she could come with him. He would go alone, spend his days in a bar alone and his nights in bed alone. While she would be in bed with her husband.

Today was Tuesday, and Bucky had one more mission tomorrow before his weekend pass commenced. This was a big one, more planes going up at once than they ever had before. It was dangerous from what the CO's were saying. A lot of the men were nervous, Bucky didnt have time to be nervous when his thoughts were consumed by Y/N.

As with every mission they were treated to a big breakfast the morning of. Bucky walked into the mess hall to see Y/N laying out muffins for everyone. He walked up to her, eyeing the selection of baked goods. 'You always make such tasty treats.' She jumped, not realising he was behind her. 'Good morning, Major. What tickles your fancy today? Blueberry? Or Raspberry?' He looked at her, with the ost sinful of looks. He was undressing her with his eyes. 'You know exactly what I fancy.' She looked around to make sure nobody was within earshot. 'Someone might hear you!' she whisper-yelled. 'Its fine, nobodys listening. All too worried about todays mission.' She suddenly looked worried too, like she had forgotten the reason for such a spread of food until now.

'Are you nervous?' she looked up at him. 'Ah I'll be fine doll, don't worry about me. If you want though, I could use a good luck kiss..' he winked at her. She once again looked to make sure nobody was listening. 'Our closet? Thirty minutes?' 'Its a date. Or as close to a date as I can take you' He looked almost sad as he said it. He went to sit down next to Buck, ignoring his judging look.

Thirty minutes later they were in the supply closet kissing. Bucky wished he didn't have to be crammed into this tiny space, but it was the only way he could touch her or hold her. 'I'm going to miss you.' She said between kisses. 'I'll only be gone a day doll. How you gonna manage a hole weekend?' 'Weekend?' she said confused. 'Uh yeah, I've got a weekend pass, going to London for some R'n'R as they say... I'd love to take you with me.' She looked down, unable to meet his gaze even in the dark closet. 'You know I want to, but I can't.' He took her chin in his hands, forcing her to look at him. 'I know Y/N, a man can only dream of getting to spend a whole day nevermind a weekend with you. Maybe someday.' 'Someday.' she said half-heartedly.

The men left no more than an hour later. Y/N busied herself by baking. She figured the men would want something sweet when they came home. And they would come home. She settled on vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. She baked six dozen cupcakes. Perhaps a little too many, but when she was baking she could pretend she wasnt anxiously waiting for her secret lover to return from a deadly mission. When she had baked all she could, she returned to her quarters. She decided to take a bath, shave her legs, style her hair and redo her makeup. I want to look nice for when Bucky returns. Not that it would matter, its not like she could run to him when he stepped out of the plane. She wouldnt be able to be anywhere near him, less she cause suspicion. Unless...

She walked up to the control tower where Albert and the other CO's were waiting for the planes to fly in. They were due back in around twenty minutes. Albert noticed her standing in the doorway, 'Hello sweetheart, what are you doing here?' He gave her a kiss on the cheek. She showed him the cupcakes she had brought with her. 'I made far too many, thought you boys might like some.' 'Thanks darling, oh chocolate!' As Y/N put the plate down in the middle of the table, Albert and the other men each took a cupcake. She sat talking to Albert and the other CO's until suddenly the sound of planes filled the air.

She watched one by one as the planes rolled in, mechanics and medics meeting them on the tarmac. 'How many do you count?' asked Albert. 'Eleven. Were missing five.' Harding replied. Please let Bucky be okay. Please. Then she saw him. Behing helped out of the plane. He was covered in blood. Oh no.

The flak had been more intense than Bucky had ever witnessed before. Five planes went down, with many more experiencing heavy damage and injured men. They barely made it out alive. He looked worse than he was though, A piece of flak had embedded itself in Bucky's shoulder. The doctors told him if it had just been a few inched over, it would have hit his heart and he'd be gone. He was covered in blood, most of it wasnt his though. Murph got hit pretty bad, Bucky did all he could to try stop the bleeding. He still wasn't sure if his friend was in the land of the living or not. All he wanted to do was ask for Y/N, tell someone to go find her. But he couldnt. The nurses woud wonder why he was so insistant on seeing the Colonel's wife.

Once he was checked over and stitched up, a nurse offered to take him to the washroom to get rid of the blood he was still covered in. He insisted he go alone however, wanting time to himself.

After some time, Y/N was desperate to get to the infirmary to check on Bucky. She didn't know how to go down there without causing suspicion. She then remembered the cupcakes. She could take some to the injured, the nurses would appreciate them too. She quickly excused herself from the controll tower, went back to the kitchen to grab another tray of cupcakes and made her way to the infirmary.

When she arrived, it was only slightly chaotic. Most of the injuries had been taken care of, the men resting. She went to the nurses station. Looking around her frantically, nowing she couldnt ask about Bucky specifically. She then saw a nurse changing the sheets on a bed, a bed covered in blood. Her thoughts ran wild. Oh no, he didnt make it. 'Mrs Clarke, what a lovely suprise.' it was a nurse, Marie, she thought her name was. 'I.. I wanted to bring some treats down to you all. Lift the mood.' 'Oh they look delicious. Thank you!' Just then another nurse walked up to Marie. 'Marie, where's Major Egan?' 'Oh he's in the washroom, insisted he go alone.' Thank God. 'Go check on him will you? Last thing we need is someone passing out in the washroom.' The older nurse replied before walking off. 'I best get back to work Mrs. Clarke, thanks again for the cupcakes.' With that the nurse walked away in the direction of the wash room.

She knew she shouldn't, it was risky, but she had to. She followed Nurse Marie to the washroom. She watched from around a corner as the nurse went inside, no sooner had she came in than she left again. Once she was gone, Y/N made her way in. The washroom was small, just two shower stalls with a curtain each and a basin on the other side of the wall. 'John?' she called out to him. 'I said I'm fine!' she shouted back. 'John, its me, Y/N.' His head poked out from behind the shower curtain, 'Y/N? What are you doing here?' She came further into the room, just the shower curtain separating them. 'Are you okay? I was so worried! I saw you come out of the plane, and you were covered in blood..' 'I'm fine doll. Got hit in the shoulder but I'm okay, most of it wasnt my blood. I didn't realise you were there when we landed.' 'I was in the control tower with Albert. It was the only way I could see you without rousing suspicion.'

That's the way it would always be. He would never get off a plane and see her standing there ready to run into his arms, he could never kiss her in the officers club the way other men kissed their red cross girls. It would always be cloak and dagger, hiding from the world. He wanted to badly to hold her, have her touch soothe away his aches and pains. 'Join me.' he said softly. She was taken aback 'Bucky, I can't... I shouldnt even be in here someone could walk in at any moment.' The look on his face near broke her. 'Please doll, I need you.' He pulled back the curtain, revealing himself to her. She could see his stitched up shoulder, the bruises along his chest and ribs. He still looked like a Greek god. His eyes were pained, silently begging her for comfort. She slowly unbuttoned her blouse, stepping out of her shoes and letting her skirt drop to her feet. She undid her bra, pushing her panties to the floor. He looked at her in awe. Like an angel ready to guide him to heaven. It was the first time they had actually seen eachother fully naked; every other encounter they had was rushed in dark spaces, most clothing remaining on. 'You're beautiful.' he said softly. He held out his hand to her, she took it and stepped inside the shower with him, letting the warm water wash over her.

Arms around eachother, her head on his chest , they stood there silently. No words were needed. Most of the blood had been washed away, except for a few stubborn bits where it had dried in. She took the washcloth and some soap, gently moving the cloth over him, careful not to hurt him. 'That feels nice.' he whispered. Whispered, as if he was afraid any sudden movements or loud noises would shatter the dream he was in.

His dream was shattered when the door to the washroom opened. Y/N panicked, backing herself into the corner of the shower as if it could somehow swallow her. 'Bucky? You okay in there?' It was Gale Cleven. 'Yeah.. Yeah I'm all good Buck. Just relaxing.' Bucky shouted back. 'You've been in there a long time..' Buck replied. Bucky shouted, perhaps a little too forcefully; 'Dammit Buck I said I'm fine!' 'Alright, if you say so...' Buck's voice trailed off as he left the room, but not before he noticed that not all the clothing lying on the floor belonged to Bucky.

'Oh god, that was close.' Y/N breathed a sigh of relief. 'I wish we didn't have to hide from him like this.' Bucky replied sullenly. 'I know, me too. But its the only way.' Bucky looked at her, he wanted to shout to the whole world that she was his. 'Come to London with me.' he said suddenly. 'What? Bucky how on earth could I-' 'It will be great! A whole weekend of just me and you, no hiding, no stolen moments in closets. Just me and you.' She could see the desperation in his eyes. 'I would love that, but what would I tell Bertie?' 'I don't know, I don't know anything. I just want to be with you.'

They had left not long after, Y/N drying her hair and quickly running back to her quarters, Bucky leaving a few moments later. Bucky was told to stay in the infirmary overnight so they could keep an eye on his stitches. He wasnt best pleased. He had too much time to sit and think, think about her, think about her and her husband. It killed Bucky that Y/N was lying next to him at night while Bucky lied in a small infirmary bed. Y/N was torn. She wanted so badly to go with Bucky to London, but knew it was next to impossible. She was afraid Albert was starting to sense something was off, he asked her 'Are you okay dear?' more often than she could count. It was when she was once again baking enough muffins for the whole air force that she had the idea...

Bucky lay in his army-issued pajamas in the infirmary. He had hardly slept and was in a crabby mood, most of the nurses were avoiding him. Then he heard a nurse speaking not too far away. 'Mrs. Clarke! Back again? With more muffins oh how kind of you!' 'Well I once again baked a little too many, and I thought you nurses as well as your patients might like some.' 'Oh thats so thoughtful. I'll hand them round later.' the nurse said. 'Oh no, I can do it, its no trouble.' Before the nurse could protest Y/N was making her way round the infirmary handing out muffins.

She reached Bucky's bed and his face lit up. 'Hello Gorgeous.' he said smiling. Y/N kept looking around incase someone was listening. 'Major Egan, how are you feeling today?' 'I'm much better for seeing you.' he said with a wink. Y/N moved closer to him lowering her tone, 'Someone might hear you! I've brought muffins, it was the only reason I could think of to come see you.' She handed him a muffin, he held onto her hand far longer than necessary, the muffin placed between their hands. He stroked her hand with his thumb. Once again afraid of getting caught, she wiggled her hand from his grip. Hi face turned down in dissapointment. 'You better get going, I'm sure you still have plenty of those to pass 'round.' He said, avoiding eye contact. 'Yeah you're right, but I cant leave without knowing what time our train leaves tomorrow.' He looked up in shock, certain he had missheard her. 'Our train?' he asked hopefully.

'Yes, our train. I've found a way to come with you. We're going to London Major, together.'

Ateez as other r&b songs

Listed below are the r&b songs released by other artists. It's gonna be a mess since I listen to other artists besides Bryson Tiller lol I thought long and hard about which songs I associated with Ateez

Hongjoong - Say You Love Me by Kai

We all know how possessive the captain is of Atiny. Literally the lyrics in this song say "Just say you love me tonight. Don't make me jealous tonight." Plus, the instrumental is something that Hongjoong would produce if given the chance. Idk. Maybe I'm just being delulu and manifesting an interaction between him and Blaq Tuxedo. Blaq Tuxedo are an r&b producer/singer duo who have worked with big name artists such as Chris Brown, Doja Cat, and Tank. To name a few. Anyways, I'm getting off track here. So. Manifestation. Hongjoong did say that Ateez will be in the States for a while so yeah. Hoping this happens.

Seonghwa - When The Rain Stops by Hoody

I'm not going to lie. I was going to originally have a Miguel song but I forgot which one so this was my backup plan. If ya'll don't who Hoody is, she's the Korean r&b QUEEN! And that's on PERIOD! Fight me hoe. Anyways. I took a listen to this song and bruh. Tell me why I imagined Seonghwa's soft voice covering this song. If he decides to do another cover yet it isn't another DPR Ian song, I highly recommend this one. It'll be a musical asmr type of thing.

Yunho - Ice Queen by Baekhyun

Let's face it. This big bitch is the human embodiment of sunshine. If he ever sang this song to me or another hotteok, they'd fucking melt on the spot. Yunho's vocals are heavily under fucking rated and they need to be showcased more.

Yeosang - Open Passionate by Kehlani

Ever since I heard this doberman's deep ass voice in Halazia and Dune, I always wanted him to sort of test his range a bit. This Kehlani track is two songs in one and I feel that he can handle the transition. Plus I can't hear the lyrics "What if you slip up? What if tequila grabs your neck and says, 'Don't bitch up?" without hearing his soft voice entering my ear and hitting my brainwaves.

San - With A Little Help From My Friends [Soul Mix] by Omarion

So for a bit of context, the original artists of this song is a band called The Beatles. I'm sure everyone knows about them so I'll spare you the explanation. When Omarion covered this track and then put an r&b twist on in, I immediately thought of San. This man has such a huge heart and he loves his bandmates more than anything. The airiness of his vocals would fit perfectly with this track.

Mingi - We Need A Resolution by Aaliyah

There's really no context or connection to this. Mingi is my ult. This track is my all time favorite r&b song that isn't made by Bryson Tiller. If Hoody is the Korean r&b queen, then Aaliyah is the American r&b queen. I guess the only thing I have to say is I can picture Mingi's raspy voice singing the lyrics and doing the adlibs and stuff.

Wooyoung - Die 4 You by DEAN

Like San, Wooyoung loves his bandmates more than anything. However, the way these two boyfriends go about it is different. While San would prefer to stay professional and handle a scandal or conflict in a calm manner, Wooyoung will not hesitate to call you out on your bullshit. I feel like another reason why he and Yeosang are best friends is because they will stick up for each other no matter what. But that's a different story. Anyways, musical aspect. Like San, Wooyoung has an airiness to his vocals yet I feel as though he won't put as much power into it like San will with his cover. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course! I just feel like he'd have fun with this song a lot. I'm unsure if he listens to Dean but if he does, I want him to cover this single.

Jongho - Bad News by Kehlani

Contrary to Next To You by Bryson Tiller, Jongho can showcase his powerful vocals in this Kehlani track and even do some insane harmonies. However, due to the soft nature of this otherwise slow jam/ballad, he would definitely have to focus on balance. That way, his high notes can be heard yet still put the listener at ease.

draft of the chapter where Luis wins his first award because it's cute and I'm impatient

Best Rock Vocal Male Performance – 1981

“When I started this album, I was so close to just giving up on music entirely. I'm only standing here because of one person.”

Leon is now the boyfriend of a Grammy winner. What the fuck.

Two sentences into Luis's award speech, and Leon is running off to the bathroom because he knows he will cry his makeup off if he listens to Leon gush and praise him up there.

Leon comes out of the bathroom to see a panicking Luis, who immediately rushes to him.

“You're okay? You need to go home now?”

“No, no. Just the shit you were saying. I knew I wouldn't have been able to listen without crying.”

“Well, can I show you off at the after party without you crying? I know lots of people want to see my muse after the speech… But your needs are much more important. If you need to go home, that's okay.”

“Think I can handle that.”

“Just remember you can always change your mind. You feel like you're going to start crying, or feel too tired, or for any other reason you want to leave, squeeze my hand and I'll say I need to go early because you're not feeling well. I'll make some unfunny joke about takeout and food poisoning, everyone will laugh anyway because I'm famous, and then we'll leave.”

“Yeah. Thanks.”

Leon doesn't talk much, just hangs on Luis's arm. He can do social functions like this with the assistance of alcohol. If he wasn't sober he'd be talking more, jumping in while Luis talks about their relationship to crack jokes and tease him a bit. But without the social lubricant, he just smiles and looks pretty while Luis does all the talking. Smiling and looking pretty is his job here. Luis has a literal trophy, a pretty gold-plated gramophone, in his hand, but Leon is the real trophy he wants to show off.

Leon doesn't mind not talking. He doesn't feel awkward or out of place at all. He doesn't mind that his feet are starting to kill him. Of course Luis is the focus, but occasionally Leon catches some eyes too. Particularly the eyes of the musicians who had asked Leon out in the past. Every time Luis notices, he untangles their arms so he can wrap his arm around Leon's waist, then kisses the top of his head for good measure. Just to make it even more abundantly clear that Leon is his.

The possessiveness should piss him off. He should hate that he's being shown off like a prized possession. He had an ex boyfriend who was the jealous type and loved doing shit like this, and it always annoyed the hell out of him. But it's different with Luis. He likes it. All of it.

Luis is also more in tune with Leon's needs than he was during their last outing. He makes a conscious effort to slow down his pace enough that Leon can keep up without having to catch his breath. Occasionally he starts walking a little too fast like before, but now he always catches himself and slows back down even before Leon can say anything.

Luis smoothly deals with the peer pressure to drink too. There's so much alcohol, so there's constantly people noticing Leon isn't drinking, and shoving glasses of champagne into his hand. Luis handles it. To most people, he says that Leon prefers beer, and all the champagne and wine is just too fancy for him. He lets the people who are too tipsy to listen to reason hand him the drinks, and then takes it from Leon and drinks it himself when they walk away. 

“There's the dance floor…” Luis states playfully. “Dance with me, Prince Charming?”

“Sure, princess,” Leon rolls his eyes, but smiles. “But just junior high slow dance swaying type of shit. Nothing fancy. Don't try to twirl or dip me or anything like that.”

“Deal!”

Luis slips his suit jacket off, and finds someone to hold it and his trophy while they dance. Luis takes one of Leon's hands and sets his other on his waist. Leon puts his free hand on Leon's chest. All Luis had under the jacket was a mesh tank top, so Leon is almost touching bare skin when he puts his hand on his chest. While Leon wouldn't say he knows how to dance, he can do the basic swaying without embarrassing himself.

Leon notices a photographer prowling the dance floor, and gets excited. They don't have many romantic pictures.

“Hey, Luis?”

“Done? It's okay, thank you for dancing at all.”

“No, not done! Just changed my mind. You should dip me or something.”

“Seriously..?”

“Yes.”

“Why the sudden change in heart? You were very adamant that I not do that,” Luis's eyes wander, and then he gets a knowing smile. “You want to show off for the camera! You're not just tolerating all this, you like it!”

“Just shut up and do something dramatic.”

“I will. But not until you admit why you want me to.”

“God. You're annoying,” Leon rolls his eyes. “But fine. I love all of this. I love that you keep making it clear that I'm yours. Makes me feel special. Want you to do something that'll get the whole dance floor looking at us, and a picture to remember it.”

“Wow. I just thought you liked the attention, didn't realize you were that into the possessive stuff too. You are mine. You are special,” Luis's smile is almost blinding. “As soon as the photographer is looking our direction, I'll dip kiss you, give him a really good picture, okay?”

“Do I need to do anything?”

“Just hold on and trust me to not drop you.”

Luis wraps his arms around Leon's waist, and then waits. When he sees they caught the photographer's eye, he leans forward and dips Leon. Leon clings to his neck desperately. It's scarier than he anticipated, giving up all control and relying on Luis to support all of his weight. But he doesn't regret anything. He trusts Luis. He knows Luis wouldn't have indulged the request if he wasn't 100% certain that he wouldn't drop him. The clapping and whistling from others on the dance floor and Luis's mouth on his (he's kissing with tongue, which is definitely unnecessary for the the picture) also make it easier to ignore the fear.

Luis holds him like that for a few seconds, waiting for the camera flash before pulling Leon back up. Leon rests his head on Luis's shoulder to hide his face. He's a blushing, giggling mess. He hasn't had a drop of alcohol, but he feels wasted. Drunk on Luis and the attention. Luis keeps his arms around his waist and they sway like that for a couple more songs.

Then Luis goes to take his trophy and suit jacket back, and then he's dragging Leon off god knows where. Down a maze of back hallways. He's half convinced Luis wants to find somewhere for a quickie, and, well, he certainly won't object to that.

“Thank you for the dance. We take a break now,” Luis whispers, after finally finding a secluded bench to park Leon. “You and babies are still holding up okay?”

So this isn't a sex thing. Luis is just concerned. Which warms his heart a little bit, but he still manages to roll his eyes. “Darling, I'm fine. Don't even need to sit down yet.”

“You're still going to take a break now! An ounce of prevention, a pound of cure. Better to rest before you feel like you need to,” Luis insists. He kisses his forehead and gently pats his belly. “I'll be right back.”

Leon fidgets with the trophy while he waits for Luis to come back, running his fingers over the engraving. Then he looks around, making sure there still isn't anyone around.

“Hey. Your other dad just won a Grammy. It's a big deal,” While Luis was already pretty obsessed with talking to the babies, Leon felt awkward. It was hard for him to wrap his mind around the fact that it wouldn't be him talking to his own stomach like a crazy person, it's talking to his babies. But at the most recent appointment he was told they'd be able to hear soon, so he's trying to bury the awkward feelings and make an effort. He smiles when he gets a response. Not quite a kick yet, but a little flutter of movement. “But he's way more excited about you than any award. Bet he'll lose his shit when you get big enough that he can feel you moving too. You're really lucky, he's gonna be such a good dad to you.”

“Leon! Swearing while talking to my babies!” Luis scolds, with over dramatic faux outrage. Leon jumps, startled because he didn't realize Luis was already back. “Sorry I snuck up on you. But I brought you food!”

He sets a couple plates down on the bench. One piled with fruit, cheese and crackers on the other. His stomach is definitely the way to his heart, and Luis knows it.

“I gave up my movie star abs, alcohol, and my motorcycle,” Leon happily devours the plate of cheese and crackers in between words. Luis eats some of the fruit. “I am not giving up my favorite words too. Their first words being 'fuck' and 'shit' is a price I'm willing to pay.”

Hello! Do I spot another Kid Icarus fan? :))

Anyways, I was wondering if you could perhaps write headcanons (or anything else, whatever you feel like doing!) about a reader who is best friends with Pit and Pittoo, and what that would be like :D

Hello anon! Yes you do, hehe! Besties with Pit and Pittoo, comin’ right up! Going with a human reader as it wasn’t specified. And I’m gonna do both of them together, I hope that’s what you meant!

[Platonic] Pit x Dark Pit x Best Friend!GN!Human!Reader General HCs

Sometimes things can get a little… chaotic…

”They like me better!” “Not true! They like me better!”

…they both fight over you. A lot.

But if you ask them both to shut up—and reassure them you love them both equally—chances are they will

Pit asked Palutena over and over to try to make you fly like himself and Pittoo, but she refused :(

Unlike Dark Pit, Pit is really open to long and tight hugs! Pittoo is more of the type to give you a loose hug, or just a fistbump

Pittoo DESPERATELY wanted to teach you everything he knows about weaponry, but… it was a lot to take in

Pit sometimes will try to carry you and fly at the same time to let you feel what it’s like to fly!

Both of them LOVE video games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros; Pit sucks at Smash Bros while Pittoo sucks at Mario Kart

Lots of platonic “I love you!”s from both of them (although rarer to hear from Pittoo)

Pit has dragged both you AND Pittoo to many different hot springs (and he still refuses to take off his clothes… just the rule follower that he is)

One thing you all agree on is listening to music together! And by the way, show them one of your favorite songs and they’ll both learn EVERY. SINGLE. LYRIC.

You all make a silly yet strong best friend group! Neither of the Pits would let anybody hurt you! <3

I think that these are somewhat alright… apologies if it’s not too much in character for them! I haven’t played in a really long time and I’ve not actually got to interact with the fandom in a while so… yeah. I did rewatch a few cutscenes and conversations though to try and sort of brush up on their personalities. But I’m super glad that there’s other people out there that still like KIU!

“If you ever want to hear more, just let me know!”

In the spirit of heart day tomorrow I wanna write some stuff about Vanichai from (mostly) Chai's POV

OKAY LIKE I feel like I don't talk about how Chai feels about Vanilla well...I have a joke with friends that he's getting Rose Quartz'd because I haven't been able to tell them much about VaniChai because I don't wanna spoil HFR for them but ahem...maybe I can rectify that by just talking about how he felt in college.

So, I think he's pretty chill about Vani the first time they meet because they get to talk about music for a bit. He doesn't have to say anything about himself much, just his opinion on a band's newest album! Though the conversation gets a little dizzying when Vanilla starts using a bunch of technical terms that Chai doesn't understand. He's totally the type of guy who just listens to music and goes "this slaps!" but doesn't know anything else. I mean, apparently he doesn't even know what being a rockstar entails according to info on his wiki, so...he definitely doesn't know what the hell percussion instruments are by that categorization but he'll see some cymbals and go "oh, cymbals!"

Anyway, he has to really fake it when Vani goes into those kind of tangents so he just nods and agrees with whatever he's saying and Vanilla is none the wiser. He definitely looks up what the hell he was talking about later and goes "oooh...damn this guy knows a lot about music!" And find its really impressive and cool.

So, yeah, we all agree that Chai is the type to keep people at arms length, and that's a result of bullying growing up. I agree with the folks who have said he probably had to deal with fake friends and pity friends and that also reinforced his friendship moat. So when Vanilla is here being genuinely excited to be around Chai and talk to him and hang out, it wigs him out quite a bit on the inside. He tries to reason with himself though, like, why would Vani want to pretend to like him? They're both grown adults! This kind of crap is typical of kids growing up but...this is college, it's different, right?

He also doesn't want to admit that he wants a friend deep down. He's convinced himself he's better off by himself and he doesn't need others, but c'mon...it's very obvious Chai still yearns for something. The fact he wants to be a rockstar proves it. Being a rockstar allows you to be loved and admired by millions without them getting too close! You don't have to worry about any of the crap you had to worry about growing up because security will get those fans out of your hair, but they'll still shout about how much they love you from afar! Perfect, right?

So! Chai tries his best to push aside the thoughts that Vani is just pitying him or faking that he wants to be his friend. He'll give this guy a shot! He seems so genuine...and Chai actually likes hanging out with him, too. He's never really had someone in his life that listened to what he had to say so attentively. Well, anyone besides his parents. It's just nice being able to hang out with someone and feel like the fun is real and it's not at anyone's expense. There's never a moment with Vani where Chai thinks he's being laughed at instead of laughed with, unlike those other times growing up.

Things were going pretty well the first year they knew each other! It was especially funny when they realized Vani was delivering pizza to Chai's two years before and how he has Chai's favorite pizza order memorized from how many times he'd get pizza from their pizzeria. But, the fun goes downhill once Vanilla shares the idea of starting a band together and Chai agrees in excitement. (At this point I've been re-working the iced tea lore because I want it to make more sense and also properly convey that both Chai and Vani were in the wrong in their own respective ways!)

Vanilla runs the idea by Chai after a late night snack run. They're a bit hyper off some soda and candy and it just sounds like the perfect plan! Vanilla wanted to be vocals and Chai wanted to be guitar, but both not being able to fulfill those roles, they agreed that Chai being vocals and Vani being bass would work. They'd just have to find a drummer and a guitarist and if they wanted a keyboardist they'd work that out later! Chai was super stoked! He had a friend for the first time in what felt like ages, and now they would be rockstars together!

It all sounded perfect...until Vanilla started to go into overdrive. He'd do his best to pressure Chai to pick up on his school work, but Chai didn't really see the big deal. He was mostly here in college for his parents' sake. Chai strikes me as the type of guy to think making music should just happen and there shouldn't be a huge emphasis on school stuff to achieve the dream. Vani doesn't agree with him, but not being one to push a confrontation, he would find a way to push Chai along...by secretly doing some of his work for him in classes they shared.

Once Chai finds out about this he feels awful. He knows Vani is very serious about school and if he got caught doing this, it could get them into big trouble. He only really cared about Vani ruining his own chances, so he tells him to stop that and just let him handle it. Vanilla trusts him enough to keep his word, and Chai does put a little more effort into his work, but the shitty attitude from their professors pushes him back onto his slacker tendencies as a way of not letting them push him around. An act of defiance.

This makes Vanilla panic a bit and he tries once again to nudge Chai along, but Chai tells him to seriously not worry about it and let him take care of it! He can't let them push him around! Vanilla tries to understand but he's so bad at this kind of thing. He only knows how to be sneaky about stuff and he's horrible at standing up to people in authority! So Chai doing this with their professors is WHOA to him. He probably tells Chai to just let stuff go when professors mock him and Chai is like "absolutely not, Vani." Vanilla gets kinda mad because him back-talking and not doing his best on his work may get in the way of everything, but he just keeps it to himself and acts passive aggressive for a bit. Chai groans and does the bare minimum for Vani's sake, but not by much. He still doesn't want to seem like he's bending to his shitty teachers' insults. He hates seeing Vanilla anxious more than them, though.

Which brings me to my next point! Chai notices how much of a nervous wreck Vanilla is in college. He may need to squint to see the giant QA center sign, but he doesn't have to in order to see Vanilla's stress levels. Chai often does his best to get Vanilla to take naps and get decent sleep whenever this dude stays up all night to do homework. He also does his best to convince Vani to stop and smell the roses and goof off/take breaks. He'd take him to the record shops or arcades outside of campus or hang out casually in their dorms to get some proper down time and not overthink about essays and exams. Seeing Vanilla happy and at ease made him feel great. Really great...How could he not when this, admittedly cute guy, was smiling and laughing so much and he was the reason for it! Yeah, Chai thought Vani was cute but he didn't wanna think about those feelings too much since he wasn't sure Vani was a boy liker like him and he knew Vani was too busy with school stuff and wanting to be a musician to probably do any dating stuff. So! Even though Chai has good intentions, his actions could come across as him being a bad influence, something Vanilla's other friends misinterpret and don't like. The cocky attitude Chai has also doesn't sit well with them and they start to dislike him, even though Vanilla insists Chai is a cool dude.

It's thanks to people like their professors and Vani's friend group that Chai starts to believe that maybe he is a bad influence on Vani down the road. He starts to think Vani would be better off without him and that maybe he should burn the bridge to friendship he built for him and let the moat take over again. (Boy, I hope that sentence made sense!) He starts to act more like the douchier Chai we meet at the start of Hi Fi RUSH as a means of getting Vani to stop liking him so much. Maybe then when Vani stops talking to him altogether it won't hurt so bad. (Oh, the irony.)

The attitude plan doesn't work. Vanilla doesn't stop hanging around Chai no matter what dickish thing he says or does to him! Ditching him didn't work, calling him a ditz or making fun of him didn't work, nothing did! And honestly? Chai was kind of glad nothing worked! He didn't want to stop being friends! But the more he saw how much potential Vani had and how little he did, it all started to make his head spin. His 'fake it till you make it' attitude started to dip and he got moodier thinking about his professors being right about him. Didn't help when they'd make those jokes about him and Vanilla. Jokes about how much of a better student Vanilla was than him and how they hoped he wouldn't drag Vanilla down...Didn't help to see Vanilla sheepishly laugh them off. Then the guest speaker band in their other class came and...yeah...a mixture of Chai's insecurities and his guilt towards Vani clash and make him have a whole "FUCK" moment.

Soon enough they have the argument on their snacking roof. Chai tries to tell Vani that maybe he should find someone else to be vocals in the band. Vanilla freaks out and tells him that it has to be him! He doesn't want anyone else to be in the band if it means Chai has to go. Hell, he doesn't want a band at all if Chai isn't in it. It kinda freaks Chai out how upset he gets so he tries to shrug it off like "alright! jeez!" Vanilla apologizes for snapping like that but he just...really wants to do this with Chai. It makes Chai feel even more guilty about things, and then Vani shares a song he's been working on with him.

Chai reads the lyrics to himself and he keeps feeling all his guilt and insecurities pile up again and he decides to trash the song, still trying his best to get Vani to stop sticking around him. Chai harshly critiquing it also doubles as him letting out his frustrations with himself. Vanilla just gets embarrassed and thanks him for his feedback. Tells him that this is why he needs him in the band and now Chai wants to snap and tell him that no he doesn't!!!! He doesn't need a guy who doesn't even know what the hell he's doing to be in a band with him!!! But then he thinks about it...thinks about how Vani's friends think he's an egotistical prick...

He scoffs and nods. "Yeah, maybe you do need me! I dunno how a band with songs like these could get anywhere." Fuuuck does it suck to say something like that to Vani. Chai always really liked Vanilla's songs, even the ones with lyrics that scared him! He can tell that stung for Vani and he bites his lip but keeps at it. Vanilla asks him if he always felt that way about his songs and Chai tells him yup. It makes Vanilla panic and he asks Chai what he should fix. Chai sweats nervously and just tells him all of it and Vanilla asks how in clear distress. Being told a band with his songs would get nowhere makes him think about his parents and how they would react to his secret major. They'd definitely say something about how he wouldn't get anywhere with this too...and hearing it from Chai? He's fucking SHAKEN.

Chai instantly regrets saying those things upon seeing him freak out. It reminds him of when his fake friends growing up would drop the bomb on him that they kept him around as a joke or they only pretended to be his friend out of pity or because of some cruel bet. It sucked. He doesn't know how to backpedal after all of that, and knowing how bad Chai is with talking, he just keeps at it. He tells him he doesn't think any of his advice could do much. He can't make Vani a better songwriter. Vanilla feels like he got punched in the gut and still tries to muster up some kind of hope. He asks Chai if maybe he can still try? Still try to help him? Chai feels like shit about all of this so he just shrugs and tells him "sure" to ease some of the guilt.

So they head back to their dorms, both feeling like utter crap. Chai decides that he should just drop out because of how pointless this is. His parents wanted him to try because any good parent wants their kid to secure a job and take care of themselves in life. But he just couldn't take the ableist professors, how he didn't really know what else he wanted outside of the rockstar dream, and now this feeling that he's dragging someone who does have it figured out down with him. If Vani wasn't gonna stop hanging around, then he would. It sucks, majorly. Vanilla is even more fucked up by Chai eventually leaving and not responding to any of his calls or texts. His friends convince him it is for the best that Chai left and that he should keep focusing on his dream. Vanilla takes their advice and keeps giving school his all out of spite for his parents and now Chai. It doesn't help that when Vani told them about their argument his friends put the idea in his head that Chai probably thinks he's better than Vani and would have just used the band as a stepping stone or something for a solo career.

I mean, Chai does cope by being self centered and pretending he's the coolest dude ever after all the disasters in his life...better to fall back on a crappy coping mechanism than be miserable and let the insecurity eat at him. After the events of Hi Fi RUSH, I think he would constantly argue with himself about hitting Vani up again and explaining himself to him, apologizing even! But it's hard...it's hard when he thinks that Vani is still better off without him in his life.

Then Vani gets a job as the band that came to visit their class' songwriter. He'd normally be overjoyed over it, but it's all such a bitter experience. He's bitter about not being the one play his songs, he's bitter that he was driven by his spite and anger to get this far, and he's bitter that he did everything the way he thought he was supposed to and didn't really achieve what he wanted in the end. The band is kind to him, and they praise his work a lot, but it's just not the same. He's not a part of the band and he doesn't always write the songs too so he's just...sooo bitter. Then he goes to get an enhancement from Vandelay because his parents gave him some guff about his ice powers being the weakest in the family during a get together and he snapped over it. Seeing posters with Chai's face all over the campus because he's the new ambassador and face of Project Armstrong...oooo...when Vani finds him...

The boys will be fightiiiing...

[blubushie]

HIEY BLU.. i jnwk i said i was sending this in the mornknv bug k LIED i'm sending it now...

also if you don't read this bc it's so farting long just listen to the dreaming pls it's literally one of my favorite songs ever....

HERE WE GO... 💥

kate bush is a musical artist that was mainly active throughout the 80s. she was born in a small town in the middle of nowhere in the uk, in 1958. she's most well known now for her song "running up that hill", which was popularized by the show *stranger things*. while her music falls under the "pop" label, it's very eclectic , experimental, and incorporates lots of traditional celtic sounds.

in 1980 she released the album "the dreaming". the dreaming is my favorite of her albums im SOOOOO EVIL ABOUT IT 💥💥💥.... anyways she released that at 22 and on this album is a song called "the dreaming" where she talks about the genocide of aboriginal people.. and it's genuinely my favorite song of ever bro like actual it's so good. screaming throwing up. 🐈 sorry thsi is progressively getting more evil i was trying to have it make sense and now it doesn't anymore 😭😭😭 BUT WHATEVER... so yeah she wrote the dreaming and it has the MOSF INSANE SONGS EVER like they're all so good AUGHH my favorites are the dreaming, houdini, night of the swallow, & suspended in gaffa. :3 IF YOU LISTEN TO THOSE I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER...

Shes most popular now for "running up that hill", off of "the hounds of love", but all her other music is SOOOO much more interesting than that song. running up the hill is a wonderful song and it's written insanely well, but it by far is her least interesting song. (at least stranger things didn't pick a different song of hers tbh i think i would've imploded..) Kate also occasionally used her music as a way to speak about social/political issues, like in army dreamers and the dreaming. Fun fact, army dreamers was actually one of the 67 songs blacklisted during the gulf war!! 💥💥 i just think that's interesting tbh... i love kate bush so mych blu yiuwdont undefstand..... she was my grandpa's favorite and my mom's favorite and i... UEUEUEUEUE...

ANYWAYS SOERY THIS IS SO UNORGANIZED AND SEEMS KINDA UNFINISHED PROBABLY IM LIYEERALLY ABOUT TO FALL ASLEEP TYPING TJIS RIGHG NOW.. NIGHT NIGHY BLU BUSHIE MH BEST FRIEND FOR REALZIEZ

-goblin five🥳🥳🥳

also if you do listen to kate bush, the songs i recommend to listen to first are the dreaming, wuthering heights, hello earth, and babooshka. :D

So I listened to The Dreaming and (while the fake Aussie accent fucking killed me) did some research and had to stop myself from laughing because the original title of the song was "The [Racial Slur] Song" and I had a few minutes of laughter as I wondered how the fuck that got past censors. Did no one check?

Anyway, good song. I'm familiar with Running Up That Hill but wasn't aware Kate Bush sang it. :]

Clarissa, Joe, Rooty, and Lacey

🎭,☘️,❤️, 🎵

🎭MASKS - do they act differently around certain people? what's different between the way they act around friends, family, strangers, etc.? Clarissa - She's pretty much stoic around everyone but Dice and her grandkids. (it's odd, but yes, her grandkids kind of includes Cuphead, Mugman, Chalice, Siphi and Holly too.) She's less stiff around Tea and Joe as well since they were always so kind to Dice. She's a little too friendly to Kettle Joe - He's pretty friendly to everyone. He has individuals he... doesn't like at all, but still is kind to with the best of his ability. (He has pretty bad anger issues though, so sometimes he blows up anyways) Exceptions being people like the Devil and Ludwig. Even Porkrind, though he hates his guts, he knows Tea and him are friends so he's still nice, so Porkrind's tolerant back. (now anyways, he learned to control himself after that incident.) There's other people who Joe becomes an absolute child around, like Dice, or Philip (I mention him a lot, I will hopefully make an actual post about him one day) and of course he loves his wife dearly, even if he goofs around and pisses her off sometimes. With his kids he's really gentle and playful, though stern too- even if they don't really listen without discipline. His mom he adores and would do anything for, a mama's boy, but his brother... they're doing better, but not quite there. Cinnamon and Joe still butt heads, but they can now share laughs and make new positive memories with each other. They've both done shitty things to each other, and they've both apologized for it. Rooty - She's just- man she's just a dingbat to everyone. She doesn't care who you are. If you treat her like shit, she'll treat you like shit. If you treat her nice, she'll treat you nice, fair is fair to her. Lace - Being like- 5 she just kinda has that not biased type of attitude. Give her candy, she's happy. Don't give it, you're the worst person for 20 minutes. ☘️CLOVER - do they believe in luck? are they lucky? Clarissa - Nope XD Joe - To an extent he does- he believes he has shitty luck XD Rooty - Yeah she thinks she got shitty luck too yet she continues to do stupid shit so XD Lace - Too little to really know. ❤️RED HEART - their love language(s)? Clarissa - She barely believes in love any more Joe - He loves physical and vocal affection Rooty - She's really bad with words, so she likes to display that someone's hers by showing it through physical affection Lace - Child 🎵MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them? This one doesn't apply XD

AAAA HI MOOTIE❤️❤️ could I request a romantic Hazbin hotel match up?? (Help me I'm shy) ANYWAY

I'm bi with no real pref, I'm a Taurus and an INFJ!!

Appearance!! : 5,5 with shoulder length black hair, Blue-Green'ish eyes and Glasses! People tell me I look very Intimidating and unapproachable, I have a very vintage 1950s women's way of dressing with a hint of cottagecore into it! I'm also always wearing heels <3

A lil about me! : chronically ill ex dancer and writer, I also sing and I love to act aswell!! I love walks alot even though I can't much anymore, I have a cat his name is Morty!! I can be kinda loud and hyper, I'm usually very in your space if I know you well (and ur comfortable obviously) I also love doing things for others! Id like to say I'm a pretty skilled cook and baker, I also love card games and board games (oh and video games y'know) I always have music running in my headphones, I'm super clingy to the people I hold dear and I absolutely love showering my friends in love and appreciation; I can also be quite the hassle, I'm not all smiles and kisses which I'm trying to work on; I struggle with empathy and love, I can be very brutal and rude and sometimes borderline cruel but I try and reserve that for people that do me wrong!!

I love birds and Foxes! Oh and deer and moose those are my favorite animals I love them sm ( I'm Scandinavian don't look at me weird) I'm the kinda friend you can come to with anything, to listen or for advice or a solution I'll always be here for everyone :3

YEAH THAT'S ME ILYSM KOKO DO THIS ON UR OWN TIME DONT FEEL PRESSURED!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You got…Rosie!

Already, you've got the cutest height difference and aesthetic match in the world. You come to just about her shoulders and that's not counting her hat! Fortunately, since you wear heels you can inch a little closer to her—unless she's also wearing them. 

Rosie loves fashion, so you two go shopping together a lot. She's always offering her clothes to you, but when they wind up too big (as always), she will tailor them herself to suit you or bring them to a proper tailor to fix them up. You don't wear exactly the same style, but Rosie will incorporate more of your elements into her wardrobe so people know you're together. 

Oh my, and you can dance? No matter the kind, the moment you tell Rosie that she is already talking about the pep she used to carry in her step, and she wants to go out dancing with you a lot more. Rosie is an amazing dance partner because she is very good at following your lead or showing you how to do what she has going on. 

She also LOVES your kitty Morty. Oh yeah, shes going to spoil that cat to death because, isn't it just the cutest furball ever? Rosie is the type to get bit by a cat and coo about how strong a bite it has. 

Now, she isn't one for video games, but she is more than happy to learn all about the various types you play! Be it board, video, or card! Rosie is actually really bad at these games and often reveals her hand or her plan, but she still loves trying it out with you. The one game she could beat you in 99.9% of the time is chess.

One thing that really surprises her is your ability to get along with Susan. Knowing you have a habit of being cruel to those who deserve it, she expected you to hate the woman! Instead, you bonded over your hatred for a lot of things, and Susan insists on you always being the one to help her in the emporium. 

Expect a lot of listening to oldies music while she shows you her old dance moves, working in the emporium with her, and the cannibals being extremely protective of you when it comes to other demons.

Author’s Note - I'm sorry I know its OBVIOUS but when I was going it Rosie got 7/8 and Alastor was the closest with 3/8!!! I just think she really is your match made in heaven 🖤

[yandere-daze]

HIIII DAZE!!! i hope you're doing wellll, its been awhile since ive opened tumblr and then i saw all the self-aware enstars posts and now i just finished catching up KSJSJ AND LORD. FIRST THING I SAW WAS UNHINGED AND DERANGED ANZU. GODBLESS. girl i can fix you. I CAN FIX YOU. SHAKES U WAKE UPP!!! OH! AND ALSO!!! i've been listening to a lot of double face's music lately and i think i just unintentionally fell into the pool of double facePs AND IM AFRAID I CANT GET OUT... (1/3)

Welcome back!! Yeah, there has been a lot of new stuff about the self-aware AU indeed! I think the masterlist is up to like 37 posts now? Which is kind of crazy to think about when you remember that the inital ask that started all of this wasn´t even to long ago ksdbbd

But I´m really pleasantly surprised with how enthusiastic everyone is about this AU! I never thought it would catch on this quickly and now everyone is sharing these cool and interesting ideas! I´m kind of behind right now with answering all of them but be sure that I will get to it eventually if you sent in an ask ^^

Also yes, how rude of Tumblr to cut you off like that! I don´t understand either how the word limit works and why some are able to get through that somehow and just type to their heart´s content. Maybe it has something to do with the platform you send the ask on? Like maybe there´s a difference between the app and the website? I truly have no clue though, Tumblr works in mysterious ways skjnflsbf

gn reader

tw yandere, murder, possessiveness, jealousy, kind-of torture?

Double Face as partners in crime

Yessss unhinged Anzu my beloved! You might not be able to fix her but she appreciates you trying because it means you will spend more time with her <3

And omg yes double face! I love pretty much all of their songs, how do they keep doing it?? My favorite is probably Stippling, I don´t know why but it just gives me this really calm and comforting vibe, it´s become some sort of a comfort song for me honestly. I might be biased because Kohaku is one of my favorite characters anyway but he sounds so soft and lovely in that song 🥺

Once again having to out myself as a fake fan because I actually don´t know too much information about double face in particular? I´ve been wanting to read A dark night´s passing for so long now but I´ve just kept putting it off because I´m anticipating that it will probably be pretty angsty? I also really want to read the Valkyrie x Double Face tour event story but I don´t think that one has been fully translated yet so I don´t want to start reading and then be stuck on a cliffhanger :/

But from what I know about them so far, the partners in crime thing sounds very possible! I´ve already talked about Kohaku in his general yandere headcanons and his horrortober oneshot, but he literally would not hesitate killing someone for his darling. He may not like this type of dirty work too much when it was demanded of him due to being part of the branch family but when it´s “for the benefit” of the person he loves? Well, he sure is grateful of all the experiences he´s gathered so far, to say the least

Madara is also someone that would go very far for a loved one, all with a smile on his face that looks more unhinged the longer you look at it. He´s so fiercely protective and he´s just willing to do anything to protect his loved ones, even if it´s reprehensible. He´s already willing to do some messed-up stuff in canon but when he´s a yandere? Yeah he can be for real scary under that cheerful demeanor. Around you he would be very friendly and passionate so you would never even imagine that there are these dark thoughts hidden inside of him. I mean sure, he has his overprotective moments but that´s nothing too bad, right?

Since they´ve gotten closer due to their work as a unit now, they´re also bound to find out about each other´s willingness to do anything for you. I think for Madara it stems moreso from an intense urge to protect you from any possible threat, while Kohaku likes to pretend that´s also his motive even though his true reason probably has a bit more to do with jealousy than he would ever like to admit.

So for that reason, they would be happy to partner up with each other if there was a target that needed to be removed ( in their opinion at least). Though Madara is the older one of the two, I feel like it´s more likely that Kohaku is going to do the actual killing most of the time. He´s been trained to do it quietly and efficently so he´s the safer option if they don´t want to get caught. Madara may serve as a means to get their victim to go to a specific place where Kohaku can ambush them. I mean he seems very friendly and caring to most people so there´s nothing to be afraid of when he leads them into a pretty dark and secluded part in the middle of the night, right?

If he´s especially angry at something their target has done, then Madara might throw some insults their way or throw a few hard punches of his own, but he´s mostly involved with the cover-up and cheering you up if you happened to be close to the person they killed. Kohaku isn´t that good at comforting words so he just kind of sits beside you awkwardly as he pats your back.

Kohaku meanwhile obviously shines when it comes to eliminating the target. He doesn´t feel any kind of remorse while doing it, believing that they deserved their fate. And while he´s usually pretty quick about it, he may sometimes let his emotions get the better of him when he´s especially jealous of today´s victim because they happened to get too close to you for his tastes. Maybe he takes some more time with this person, not striking any vital organs on purpose to draw out their death so they´re able to feel the sort of anguish he goes through when he saw them talking to you so casually.

In the end he´s relieved knowing that he made your life a little easier by getting rid of this troublesome person.

So in a nutshell : There´s a lot of potential here! ^^

[sk3tch404]

I have so many yandere idv concepts but there's this one that's been engraved into my mind . Yandere composer, and antonio with a j pop idol darling since they all have music talents plus this gives ideas for the yandere stalker type as well

YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

Idol darlings are sooooo unique! They can sing, dance, and put on good face (With their beauty and social ability)

And yes! Perfect stalker material for these guys.

They probably wouldn't understand jpop well since they only ever heard music coming from tangible instruments.

All these 'electronic beats' and strange sounds are very noisy but very catchy??? What is a bass beat and why is it so loud and deep? Recording studio? You can record your vocals and instruments within a studio? How does that work?

Antonio is intrigued and confused. Maybe he will get used to it since it's his darling who's introducing it to him.

Especially when he's stolen a couple of photos cards of his darling... Perhaps he'll start to even get to know the other members just so there's finally something else he could talk to them about. Doesn't actually care about them tho.

His darling's abilities are fantastic to say the least! Antonio noticed lot of the songs are about love, self esteem, and hope. Though it's kinda cheesy, its something he hasn't felt or experienced in a looong time (Well, something that wasn't apart of his violin that is)

He honestly thinks his darling should've went solo after their contract ended with the group. Even if they weren't as popular as their other members, they'd soon show their success within time. They'd shine much more beautifully if there wasn't such incompetent trash in their way.

The composer is a tricky concept indeed. We barely know anything about him, but by looking at his official announcement art, it seems that he's kinda timid and a bit serious.

I believe that all he wants to do is make good music with everything around him as an inspiration. The composer would also be intrigued, but cautious. This advanced technology seems kind of dangerous. Is his darling sure that this 'phone' isn't some sort of supernatural object? Well, yeah it does look like something powered by electricity due to it's bright glow, but how can he be so sure?

Anyways, he would totally enjoy what his darling does! Even if he doesn't quite understand or like it as much as they do.

He'd listen to every song and change the notes to fit his darling's vocal tone and style better. There's no need to have these fake high pitchy vocals when his darling could execute it with their natural voice (no hate to idols who do sing higher. Respect that shit)

Do not ask him to dance with you. He may have musical coordination due to his composing skills, but lord does he not know how to move his stiff legs.

That orchestra posture is just 2nd nature ya know?

Please do keep sending in your ideas if you want to! They're creative, refreshing, amusing, and uh, I kinda need to feed my followers after starving them for so long uh hehe.

I don't listen to jpop that much, but I do listen to kpop! Thought they're two totally different things lol

Review #46: Graceland, Paul Simon

It makes sense to do Graceland next, right? Ha. You might think I’m gonna fucking rip on it after that last post but I did say I loved it, and I do.

Here’s the thing: I think Paul Simon is a twerp. I could write a white paper on his ego and pretentiousness. That ego and pretentiousness would factor into whatever section that covered the controversy surrounding the production and creation of Graceland. That’s a nuanced discussion. He’s still a twerp.

However, he’s a twerp that made a damn near perfect album on this occasion. I’m going to have to keep myself in check or this review will itself turn into a white paper. Simon recorded some of the album with South African musicians including The Boyoyo Boys and Ladysmith Black Mambazo in Johannesburg, and remaining parts in the US with other guest artists like Linda Ronstadt and The Everly Brothers (!!). Unlike his previous work, since he had always been a singer-songwriter type, the music came first and the lyrics came last. This, is SO fascinating to me, because the lyrics are two things in Graceland:

One: Completely disconnected from the sound of the music behind them compared to the lyrical content, which I have always thought just somehow works. Songs about Memphis, songs about New York City, but sung over South African street music.

Two: Absolutely stunning. Masterful. Some of the best to ever be written and sung. I will have a lot of trouble not quoting entire verses. And I don’t always feel this way about Paul Simon. Sometimes I think he misses in a big way. He just didn’t on this record.

I’m going to start with Graceland itself. Make no mistake: this song brought my ass to Tennessee. It did. I listened to this record more in the year preceding my decision to move back to the US more than any other. So much so that I got banned from playing it in my office (true!). Consciously or not, when the time came for me to decide what the fuck to do with my life, I was hearing “I’m going to Graceland, Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee, for reasons I cannot explain, there’s some part of me that wants to see Graceland”. I actually have never been to Graceland. Well I have, I’ve been to the parking lot and the gift shop. But that’s it. I’m not paying that much money to look at some weirdos weird lair. You’re never going to get me to care about Elvis like that. Anyway, I digress. This song breaks your heart. Knowing your love doesn’t love you anymore. Everyone seeing directly inside your totally deconstructed heart and soul looking at the ruins of your future. What do you do to recover from that but hit the fucking road? Accompanying those soul crushing lyrics is a guitar riff that feels like how tears feel. It sounds like you’re in a bath tub and you go under for a minute. It’s under water. And that’s exactly right. It hurts so good.

Next! Oh my god, I want to say my favorite but this is one of those where they’re all my damn favorite. I Know What I Know. Firstly, this is the wittiest Paul Simon has ever been:

“She looked me over and I guess she thought I was alright

Alright in a sort of a limited way for an off night”

But he then describes her as moving so easily “all he could think of was sunlight”, and that’s pretty fucking special. I can’t lie. You could be a twerp but with talk like that, if you were a little funny, and you could sing pretty songs, yeah maybe plenty of women would give you the time of day. Maybe the ego makes sense. This song also reminds me of a former boss, who was actually from South Africa. He just sung the last words of each line, because they were really pronounced “moooooney”, “fuuuuuunny”, and it was annoying as hell. Probably because he was a real racist piece of shit, and one day when I really just told him I had nothing left in me and thought I might kill myself, mans looked me dead in the eye and told me to “pick a different thought and just keep showing up for work”. Money. Funny.

Moving on, there’s this chaotic accordion in Gumboots. I don’t really know how to single out any of the lyrics, but I’ll pick “I said hey señorita, that’s astute I said, why don’t we get together and call ourselves an institute”(the fuck???? Come on! I want to be mad at it, but it’s just the right damn side of the line where he’s not high on its own supply, it just is really that good). It’s a vocal performance for sure. It’s witty again. It’s conversational. It’s confusing. It’s unresolved. There’s joyful happy percussion and trumpets backing that up. It doesn’t make a damn bit of sense and yet it works perfectly.

I can’t get into every other song because they’re all amazing. But a poor boy is “empty as a pocket” in Diamonds of the Souls of Her Shoes. There’s a “roly-poly little bat faced girl” in You Can Call Me Al. In Crazy Love, Vol. II, “the fire in your life” is “all over the evening news”. I really can’t cope with it all.

Here’s my two stories. They’re good ones, too. Like I said, I really got to know this record in 2012, when I found it in the charity shop across from my shitty apartment at my shitty job that ruled my shitty life. I found so many good ones there (Joni!). I listened to it non-stop. Got banned from listening to it. Did it anyway, etc. Wouldn’t you know, it was the 25th anniversary of it being released? Paul Simon toured that year, with all of the original musicians. I saw it. My life was a disaster, and I was miserable all told. The people largely responsible for the misery bought tickets for everyone but me, knowing how much I loved it. But I was given VIP passes by my former housemate who worked for Columbia Records, because yeah! Sometimes you catch a break! I know in spite of all of the misery and pain of that time that felt all consuming, there was a sunny day in Hyde Park where I saw this album performed from start to finish by the original musicians. I wore a cute leopard print dress and have a picture from that day with my very dear friend Sophie, and I can see in my eyes that I was happy. He threw in some other classics too. Even some Simon and Garfunkel. I got drunk. I was in the moment. I was the roly-poly little bat-faced girl. Whatever that means. For me it means I was happy.

Fast forward a year, I moved to Tennessee. Fast forward a few more years from there. I’m married to a man who works for a nice couple who happen to be South African. One Saturday I stop in to see him at work, and he says “Hey girlreviews, I need to introduce you to someone”. That someone was a tall, slender, aging white man that I recognized from a documentary I had watched some months ago. He had a lovely South African accent. My husband tells me, “he worked on Graceland”. I didn’t know what to say, but I shook his hand and told him how much I loved the record and how special it was. I was so overwhelmed I don’t even recall his name without rewatching the documentary, or what role he played in the making of the album.

Brb, crying about that guitar sound for the 87546490075734643th time. If you’ve never heard a guitar under water, all you have to do is get in your car, put on Graceland and head to Memphis. Only the putting on Graceland part is actually required.
