5 analogical

#5: Can we just pretend like we’re normal for once? Pairing: AnalogicalWord Count: 1060Warnings: Cursing, Depression, Anxiety, mental health problems, near panic attack, mentions of bad parentingSummary: Humman! Au analogical getting together. 

Logan and Virgil were not a normal couple. One was a child protegee, everyone was always so invested in his academic accomplishments, he never had the chance to truly be a child and really be emotionally and mentally healthy. He had to grow up much too fast, so more often than not he simply chooses to ignore all of his emotions, this has earned him many unflattering titles throughout the years. Simply because he’s not empathetic, prefers to work out issues using logic rather than tact, and at times doesn’t yawn when somebody in his immediate vicinity does, does not mean that he’s a psychopath, thank you very much. The other partner was a depressed, anxious child, one whose parents neglected his mental health, and told him to simply get over it. This caused his mental problems to get bigger, and bigger, until he finally got a therapist, Dr. Picani, when he moved out.

 The two men were both emotionally and mentally vulnerable. They needed to find solitude from their problems, and they found that in each other. They met in their sophomore year of College in the library, Logan was perusing a thick book that was nearly the size of his head, writing down notes every once in a while, and Virgil was a few tables over, nearly edged into a panic attack.

Logan had noticed the other man’s erratic breathing, abandoned his task, and helped ground Virgil. He asked if he had permission to touch Virgil, and upon receiving an affirmative, he began to slowly rub circles into the anxious man’s back, directing him to use breathing exercises and to look around for five things he can see, four things he can hear, three things he can feel, and so forth. After getting Virgil down from his near attack, Logan introduced himself. Virgil was drained from the high emotional state he was in, so his mental floodgates could hold less of his thoughts in, so he mumbled “I’m Virge, and you’re kind of pretty.” at that time, many other patrons of the library could have attested to have hearing the human equivalent of the Windows Error Noise coming out of Logan’s mouth. Eventually, he helped Virgil back to his dorm. The encounter was a little awkward for Logan, but he felt that it was the right thing to do, awkwardness aside.

Second semester came along, and with it came some new classes. It just so happened that Logan and Virgil had a class together. Near the end of the first day, Virgil approached Logan somewhat awkwardly and apologized for his actions in the library all that time ago. Logan brushed it off. He didn’t need an apology for something so small in the grand scheme of things. Logan honestly tried to shake off Virgil after that, he had never needed a friend before, and he wasn’t going to start needing one now. Logan had logged into his tumblr after the fiasco of a class and began vaguing about college life, and then posted a few lines of poetry to clear his head before going to his next class. He checked the social media after class and was a little surprised when he saw that someone had messaged him. @panic!ateverywhere…? Was that a reference to something?

Logan opened up the message, and it was a fellow college student. they somehow related to Logan’s position. Apparently they had approached someone in class today, and they had simply brushed them off. How curious, that situation was nearly an exact parallel to Logan’s own. He offered a few objective words of advice to the student to speak to the fellow classmate… if he had only known that the man, Virgil, would use those exact strategies that Logan had suggested to the online user just a few days earlier. Logan raised an eyebrow at that, and then remembered a post that he had saw a while back, saying that you should comment on one’s shoelaces to see if they are also from tumblr, because apparently asking somebody if they are on that specific social network isn’t a “thing to do”.

Logan asked the question, and Virgil looked at him in confusion for a few moments before it dawns on him. He mumbled back “Thanks. I stole them from the president.” Logan nodded once. “Am I to infer that you are @Panic!ateverywhere?” Virgil nodded dumbly. “Yeah, that’s me. Does that mean you’re @LogicallyInfered?” Logan held back a smirk as he copied Virgil’s prior action. “That would be correct.” “Oh… cool.. So, would you- like mind my company… or? Ugh- nevermind.” Logan rested a hand on Virgil’s shoulder. “I would not object being friends with you.”

After a while, everyone on campus knew that Logan and Virgil were the dynamic duo. Virgil became more open and snarky the longer he was around Logan. Logan became more emotionally open, going so far as to yell “falSEHOOD!” on more than one occasion, and shocking the entire room. The two were inseparable, and it wasn’t really a surprise to anybody when they began dating about a year after meeting one another. Their relationship really didn’t change all that much except now there was a title, a little more cuddling, and kissing… thing is, even with all of this progress that they’ve made throughout the years, they were still damaged.   Day of graduation, Virgil was combing his hands through Logan’s hair, trying to get rid of his nervous energy. “Lo, I don’t know if I can go through with this. I’m too fucked up for actual society, society won’t let me live off of tumblr commissions and existential crises. I can’t be normal like everyone wants me to be, I just can’t! Logan, they won’t understand… they can’t!” Logan turned around, stopping Virgil from playing with his hair. He grabbed Virgil’s hands gently and pressed a kiss to the back of one of them, his favourite way to show affection. “My dearest, we can act normal for just one day. After today, we can be as odd as we want, I shall help you make your living off of tumblr, and possibly even your many crises. That one British man did it via YouTube.” “Dan Howell?” “Affirmative. We shall figure something out for you, my love.” The two were undoubtedly still damaged, but they had each other.

(A/N) I know I changed the prompt a little bit, but supportive Logan is my lifeblood. I got really into this one. goodness, I love my boys.  If you want to send me a prompt, click here!

yes hello so i love what you've done with the other prompts from the list, so would you mind doing 18 with logince? im also logince trash and id love to see what you'd come up with

#18: How did you talk me into this?Pairing: LoginceWord Count: 855Warnings: Alcohol mention, Roman is v suggestive.Summary: Human AU! Roman drags his husband to a karaoke bar.

Logan groaned at the antics of his husband onstage as he attempted to look dignified in this crowded, sweaty environment. Somehow, Roman managed to drag Logan here. To a karaoke bar. The place where Logan stuck out like a sore thumb. Many people here were younger than himself, in ill fitting clothing, either too loose or way too tight, and shouting drunkenly, where, in contrast, Logan was still in his work clothes. He was in a button up shirt, and tie. He had his patented “teacher look” on his face as he surveyed the crowd, he was desperately trying to regain his focus so he could grade his student’s papers, and he had not touched a drop of alcohol all night.. Thus far.

In his peripheral, Logan spotted Roman on the stage. He was pointing straight at… at Logan. God no. At this time, his ears caught up with his eyes. His dear, sweet, Roman was singing Take me or Leave me from RENT. Logan sighed in resignation and packed his student’s assignments into his bookbag. Logan obviously wasn’t lucky enough for Roman not to heave heard him singing this exact song in the shower a few days prior. Logan accepted Roman’s silent request by walking onstage aside Roman, taking the microphone that Roman had offered to him. Roman grinned at Logan with his normal devious look in his eye. He pressed a kiss to the back of Logan’s hand “Don’t fight, don’t lose your head, ‘cause every night, who’s in your bed?” Roman wiggled his eyebrows at Logan and Logan had to fight very hard with himself to not giggle at his husband’s antics. “Who? Who’s in your bed?” Roman repeated, more teasing Logan than actually singing at this point. Logan was ready with the next lyric… and the next one, and at some points, Roman and Logan each sang their respective harmony. Logan was pleasantly surprised. They didn’t sound too bad.

“Guess I’m leaving. I’m gone.” They both said at the same time. Logan walked off of one side of the stage, and was well pleased with Roman’s ability to follow along with whatever he was given once Roman exited the stage on the side opposite of Logan. After they both finished acting their parts, the two men quickly sought each other out in the crowd. It was a little awkward, what with all of the screaming people in the crowd, but eventually they found one another. Roman immediately threw his arms around Logan’s waist, and spun him around. He squeaked indignantly. He had a reputation to uphold, thank you very much, Roman… he did smile nonetheless, though. His husband was simply too cute. It’s a scientific fact. Once Roman set Logan back on the ground once more, and finished peppering his face with little kisses, Logan shook his head fondly. “Roman, how did you talk me into this night? Even more, how did you, albeit silently, talk me into going onstage and performing with you?” Roman flashed his pearly whites once more, and shrugged. “I guess I’m just too irresistible for you, Mr. Baker-Prince.”

Logan actually snorted at this. “I would hope so, seeing as you are my husband. I cannot begin to see you as irreplaceable in any way, shape, or form, can I? In any case, I wanted to thank you for dragging me outside of the house.” Logan felt Roman hum against his chest. “I suppose later on you could also thank me for dragging you back inside the house tonight?” Logan looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “Absolutely not. I had the students turn in their book projects tonight, which means that I must not only grade them, which is already time-consuming, but it is also imperative that I double check sparknotes seeing as I used to know people who would copy that website word-for-word on all of their projects.” Roman pretended to look shocked. “Wow, I wonder what kind of horrible, awful student would do that… absolutely not one that was in the drama presidency, a named part in almost all of the school productions, and was on the football team, and as such, had no time to do homework on top of all of that. What a terrifying thought that some students simply have no time to do that.” Logan chuckled at that, and raised himself up on his tiptoes to press a quick kiss to Roman’s lips. “Well, I will be sure to go easy on any students if they happen to have all of those conflicts along with the name Roman Baker-Prince. Until that becomes a reality, I fear I must adhere to the district’s policies, especially on plagiarism.” Roman sighed dramatically. “Well, I suppose the sooner we get you home, the sooner you can get the dumb assignments graded… but for the record, I’m glad you let me have a song with you.”

 Logan hummed softly in agreement. “As am I, dearest. As am I.” Then came the immediate response. “I love you.” Logan paused, as if he had to think over his response. “Your company is adequate.” Roman scoffed in mock-offence.

(A/N) Anon, you’re so sweet! I also really love human AU’s, especially ones where my logince boys are married and get to share last names. it’s so sweet. Anyway, If you want to send me a prompt, click here!

Damon Locks & Black Monument Ensemble share new song, “Stay Beautiful”, a love letter to his hometown

Damon Locks & Black Monument Ensemble share new song, “Stay Beautiful”, a love letter to his hometown. The new track was recorded live at Chicago’s Red Bull Music Festival in late 2018 at Garfield Park Conservatory, and was released alongside a video which features that performance plus behind-the-scenes preparation. Black Monument Ensemble started as a solo sound collage project by Chicago-based sound & visual artist Damon Locks piece, where artist used samples from Civil Rights era speeches and recordings to create an improvisational pallet for performance on his drum machine. Over 4 years the project has turned into his 15-piece Black Monument Ensemble – featuring musicians (including Angel Bat Dawid on clarinets and Dana Hall on drums), singers (alumni of the Chicago Children's Choir), and dancers (members of Chicago youth dance company Move Me Soul). Their phenomenal debut album “Where Future Unfolds” (International Anthem) is a live capture of the ensemble's epic debut at the Garfield Park Botanical Conservatory on the West Side of Chicago. Recalling the spirits of Band inspired by works of Phil Cohran's Artistic Heritage Ensemble, Eddie Gale's Black Rhythm Happening, or Archie Shepp's Attica Blues mixed up in innovative way jazz, spoken word, gospel, dance, samples. Listen to Damon Locks & Black Monument Ensemble new song “Stay Beautiful” below: Stay Beautiful by Damon Locks – Black Monument Ensemble Message from Damon Locks: “An ode to Chicago: In a hospital room, doctors and nurses come in and out, evaluating, recommending, prepping, and testing. But once visiting hours are over the patient is left alone with their thoughts, ruminating on the intimidating lack of agency and loneliness of losing control of their own circumstances. Drifting towards despair, they discover flowers in the room. There is a note attached that expresses what I would say to Chicago in its most precarious condition. We see you. We love you. Stay beautiful. I am very happy to be able to share this song at this time. It is a fitting message for this moment we are living through. I hope you all stay safe.” Watch Damon Locks & Black Monument Ensemble performing a new song “Stay Beautiful” below: Damon Locks & Black Monument Ensemble “Stay Beautiful” personnel: Musicians: Angel Bat Dawid (clarinets), Dana Hall (drums, percussion), Damon Locks (electronics, bells, voice), Arif Smith (percussion).
