Cult Sando

Book review:

Sando, the evolved form of the sandwich, is an iconic Japanese food. Crustless, thick milk bread firmly pressed around a diverse range of possible fillings. Optimised for maximum photogenic cross cut and immaculately packaged, they sit in konbini and vending machines everywhere. Cult Sando is a recipe book by Australian pro foodie Jimmy Callaway. Tastefully presented in both senses of the word.

According to the book, the origin of the sando can be traced to a bread boom in Japan in the 70s. The origin of milk bread is slightly less clear cut. Bread historians vary on what qualifies and when the accepted form arose. Also referred to as shokupan, this faintly moist, fluffy bread is sliced thick and crustless in all recipes. In something of a reflected takeover, the Japanese sandwich, and its vital milk bread are both increasingly appearing outside of Japan.

An early footnote explains about the difference between US, UK tablespoons and Australian tablespoons. This telling localisation reflective of the intended readership. Jimmy Callaway is an indeed an antipodian. He comfortably drops various Sydney references in interviews and an early book signing was held at Balmain's Roaring Stories bookstore. He was formerly chef at Firedoor restaurant. Cult Sando is his debut book.

Its officially been a week since I started my 3-month diet 1700 cal, and here are some of my thoughts:

I’m honestly really happy with this diet. I don’t feel restricted by it, and I am certain it’s something I can sustain.

The only thing I should be worried about is not seeing any results— which is normal for the first week (i think)—, and ‘gaining’ 1-2 pounds.

I’m not really worried about this because it could very well be period weight, and I’ve been sticking to my caloric deficit— definitely eating less than I had been. So, I’m definitely going to wait it out before I take that number on the scale to heart.— I actually did reduce my caloric intake by 100 just incase though (it was initially 1800)

I also do want to implement some other things to make this diet into more of a self-improvement effort:

Drinking a gallon of water every day

Prioritizing hygiene and skincare

Getting enough sleep

Run more

I honestly can’t wait to see how I turn out— I already believe that I am beautiful, but I want to feel more comfortable in my skin— I also want to look more photogenic and flattering in clothes.

Sea Otter Heaven, Morro Bay (No. 8)

Cute, furry, and playful, Southern Sea Otters make their homes just offshore along the SLO CAL stretch of Highway 1. Sea otters are native to the north Pacific Ocean, with Monterey Bay, Big Sur, and the Central Coast as hubs of activity. They are friendly, and often stay close to shore to raise their young. This makes otter spotting particularly easy on the Central Coast.

Sea otters haven’t always been so easy to find. Their extremely dense fur attracted fur traders of the 18th and 19th centuries, resulting in a severely decreased population along the West Coast. Today, the Southern Sea Otter is considered a threatened species, listed on the Endangered Species Act since 1977. They are also recognized as a depleted species under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, having only reinhabited 13 percent of their historic range.

Southern sea otters don’t rely on blubber or fat to keep them warm, as other sea mammals do. Instead, they rely on their rich, dense fur and a high level of activity to stay warm. And that high level of activity makes Southern sea otters ravenous eaters! They can be on the move and foraging up to 50 percent of their day. In other words, to glimpse a sea otter cracking open a sea urchin for lunch is not uncommon. Mothers of baby otters are especially active, feeding their young and floating their young on their belly.

Otters can be spotted year-round, but the best seasons on the SLO CAL stretch of Highway 1 are often winter and spring. Sea otters avoid inclement weather, so look for them toward shore, near coves, kelp forests and estuaries during these seasons. Here, sea otters can be found during oceanfront walks and hikes, from piers, beaches, boardwalks, and most certainly from kayaks along the shore. And each September, the Defenders of Wildlife, Sea Otter Savvy, and California Department of Parks and Recreation sponsor Sea Otter Awareness Week.

To make the most of your otter spotting experience, bring binoculars and wear layered clothing, as weather can run cool to warm. You may also want to bring a camera as Southern sea otters are extremely photogenic! Make sure to read our Wildlife Viewing Tips, too, for ways to see these sweet, funny creatures up close without threatening their safety.

Sea Otter Fun Facts

A group of sea otters is called a “raft.”

Sea otters have a pocket under their arm where they may store prey or a rock tool used to crack open their food.

Sea otters need to rest 10-12 hours every day, and often prefer napping in kelp beds to stay anchored and safer from predators.

Morro Bay Sea Otters

The protected inlet of Morro Bay serves as habitat for about 40 sea otters, primarily females caring for pups. This number is growing as the sea otter population continues to stabilize in the wake of fur trading. Both the Morro Bay Embarcadero and Estuary provide safety for otters to find food, raise their young, and avoid predators like sharks.

Near the Morro Bay State Park marina, at the south end of Morro Bay, otters can be found near the shoreline. Walk the marina to see otters at work (and play), and be sure to bring binoculars. Perhaps the best way to see otters in the Estuary is from a kayak. Work with a kayak outfitter and/or guide to find the hot spots of sea otter activity. Often, otters will pop up right beside your paddle, just inches away.

Morro Rock provides another way to see otters in the wild. Look for kelp beds in the water to the left of the rock (just by the parking area). If you come around 8am, you’re bound to see at least a few otters bobbing on the water’s surface. The Morro Bay Embarcadero offers yet another viewing opportunity. Walk the town’s waterfront street and find plenty of places to “pull over” for a sea otter spotting. Just be sure to look for kelp beds, as those are common feeding grounds for sea otters.

Photogenic Interludes: Olympus OM-1N Photojournal #1

Photogenic Interludes: Olympus OM-1N Photojournal #1

On March 5th of this month, I was lucky, and healthy enough, to go out on a photo excursion nearby at Los Gatos Creek County Park. It’s a nice little nature reserve less than 10 minutes away from where I live here in Nor Cal city of San Jose. H.A.K.M. – Harsh Drone 4 from the Tacoma Sessions I have been meaning to get in some time to work on my photography starting with a 35mm SLR camera. My…

[daintifuldaydream]

hiyaaaa update i had 475 cals today aAaand i p!rged it so yeah that’s so fun

love it love it i am complaining into the void

BUT today i wore this dress i like with a leather jacket and docs and i was having a cig outside college and this woman approached me and said i looked “nice and serene” and wanted to take portraits of me cause she thought i was pretty!! and we had a mini photoshoot before my class. she said i was photogenic :) that was some nice random validation. i’ve been complimented by strangers before but that today was quite nice haha

[zairapvrker]

So I was thinking about Cals girlfriend being a fan of the band for a long time and she has a 5sos tattoo, maybe the tally mark and fans are rude to her because of it but one day Cal posts a pic of her maybe in some merch, showing off the tattoo and he writes „my number one fan“ and it’s all fluff 💓 I love your writing btw

thank you so much for requesting! i’m so glad you like my work🥺💖

masterlist

At first you didn’t want Calum to find out, not necesarrily. You’d told him you knew who he was when you first met and you admitted to liking his music very very much. When you went on your first date, you remember how you’d tugged at the sleeve of your sweater to make sure it was covering the little tally tattoo on your wrist - a reminder of your favourite band that you treasured very much. He didn’t need to know yet.

When he first came to your house after having finished a small promo tour, just the day when you hit the mark of a month of dating, you’d been lounging around in a short sleeved shirt despite the chilly weather and completely forgot about the tattoo. However, it took Calum a little while to notice. “Hey, what’s that?” he asked as you passed him the salt over the table. You immediately glanced down at your wrist, your eyes a slightly wide in shock. Fuck.

“A tattoo...” you said, almost sounding like a question.

“I can see that” he chuckled sweetly, taking the salt from your hand and putting it on the table, before taking your hand in his and observing the mark that adorned your wrist. You thought you could faint. “Is that our tally?” he asked with a ghost of a smile.

“Yes” you nodded, heart drumming in your chest. What if he thought you were some sort of weirdo? What if he would want to stop seeing you? What if-

“I like it” he stated, interrupting your spiral of thoughts. You looked at him surprised. “I like you” he smiled again, intertwining his fingers with yours. You felt the blush take over your cheeks as you looked away from his warm eyes.

“I like you too” you admitted in a whisper, making him chuckle.

After dinner, as you were laying on the couch, he’d asked you why you got a tattoo for his band. He sounded genuinely interested, because he was. Although a little sheepishly, you weren’t embarrassed to tell him the story behind the tattoo. Truth was, you’d liked the band for a long time and their music had accompained you through some of the shittiest times and cheered you along through the happiest. He was so happy to hear that, he couldn’t help the smile opening up on his face. When you stopped talking and looked up at him with a shy smile Calum had let the words slip out of his mouth, not sure he could contain them anymore. “Be my girlfriend” he whispered, and the rest was history.

As the two of you became more comfortable with sharing your relationship, months after he’d asked you to be his girlfriend, the comments of the fans on your tattoo weren’t lacking. Some loved it and admired you for “living the dream”, most of them called you pathetic. It hurt you to see those last ones because you didn’t think people that loved the band as much as you did, and were fans as you were, would go to that length to tear you down. Calum knew and he didn’t understand as well.

At least, it comforted you that neither Calum nor the band cared for it. They would always joke around and call you the fifth member since you had it as well as them. It warmed your heart. Calum loved it especially.

He was so happy that the girl he loved had supported him and his brothers even before he had the chance to meet her.

So when the latest merch items were to drop he decided to step in and try and put an end to the endless rudeness directed your way. That day he came home with some shirts and hoodies to have you decide your favourite.

“Cal! You didn’t have to” you exclaimed as soon as he showed you the clothes, laying them out on the bed next to you.

“But I wanted to” he cheekily replied. You laughed, observing the items.

“I like this one” you mumbled picking up one of the shirts.

“Well then, put it on” he smiled, you rolled your eyes not questioning the antics of your boyfriend anymore. As soon as you were done he grabbed you by the hand, walking you to the white wall in the hallway.

“What are we doing?” you asked as he stepped back and took out his phone from the back pocket of his jeans.

“A little photoshoot” he smirked as you sighed.

“I’m not that photogenic” you rolled your eyes. “I don’t even have that much make up on! Hold on” but before you could make your way to the make up in the bathroom he stopped you.

“You look stunning just as you are” he brought you close, leaving a sweet kiss on your forehead. Nodding, you went back where he had positioned you earlier.

It wasn’t so bad as you thought it was going to be, you had a lot of fun trying to be serious, laughing along to Calum’s jokes to make you smile and being guided by him. The pictures came out good and you even convinced Calum to let you take a few shots of him in the merch. “Love you, thanks for doin’ this” he pecked your lips softly after you were done. “No problem” you kissed him again. “Love you too”

Unbeknownst to you that night, as you were slowly dozing off to sleep while the movie played on, Calum had taken it upon himself to post his favourite picture of you that he’d taken earlier that day, and choosing between the shots had proven difficult since he loved all of them. At the end he chose one where your tattoo was showing more than in others and your smile was so bright the sun could only envy it.

He smiled while writing the caption.

My number one fan.

Fighting Flirty: Character Select PT4 (Act 4.2)

A five minute break, and Alex discovers her muse

Ok, you two take five, and then we'll do some official art recreations," Alex announced, as she looked through the pictures on her camera. Her smile growing larger at each new pic "Ey, do you guys want every photo in an album or what?"

"Uhh?!" Steven started before turning to the woman on his lap.

"YES!" The eagerness in her voice caught Steven off guard. "I don't ever want to forget this feeling, this day, these moments," Connie added in a low admiring tone.

"Neither do I," he kissed her neck, getting her to squeal in delight. 

"Well said." Alex agreed. "Still, it's hard not to think of you as a romantic couple, with the way you two carry-on and all this shipping gold in my hands." She sighed," If only I were an illustrator, instead of a photographer. You two would be perfect fanart subjects…Though I wonder if 'fanart' even works here in this pretense."

"Why wouldn't it?" Connie asked as she leaned back, caressing Steven's whiskered chin.

"Well, you're not fictional characters or celebrities. So maybe it'll just be art."

"I have, you know,  you are in the presence of a very successful Tube-Tube star." Connie asserted, implying a prideful thumb at Steven, evoking a laugh from the hybrid and the slyest of smirks from the photographer.

"Is that so." Alex rubbed her chin, mischievously. "How many subscribers you gathered, Steven?"

"My personal channel is at 680+ thousand  but ...Our s, meaning the channel Connie, I,  and two of our friends run… Is at one-point-five million, last time I checked; haven’t been on either for a couple months or so. ."

"1.7 now on G-squared , and Your  personal channel is at 700+ now, Mister." Connie interjected, "at least that's what I saw last time I went to the channels."

"How…Am I at 700+?!"

"Your vlogs have been used in compilations about traveling and self-betterment. While your people used your music in their 'Let's play's ' and ' AMV's '...I think there's even been a few memes and reenactments based on your stuff. There's a real popular source film of last year's panel at Kansas vid-con; during that game of 'scenarios,' we played with Daniel, Patricia, Jewels of Cal, Steve Da' Duck, and Akira Mas."

 "Oh, I remember that," his eyes broaden in remembrance, "That was a fun game, and the audience loved it." 

"I think they were surprised at your capacity for swearing and sarcasm and how smoothly it flowed out." She teased, getting a nod from Steven.

" I was just following the scenario, and I got a bit heated. Not like you were any better." 

"True enough." She gave him a peck before turning to Alex, looking smug. 

"Okay, okay, didn't know he was a big thing." Alex relented with a smirk, "gotta check out your pages then, Steven." 

"Yes, you do that, subscribe too."

"Ok, miss proud wife." 

Despite blushing a deep maroon, Connie leaned back into his hold and kept her smugness, " Go-go check the pictures."

Alex gave her an affirmative nod before doing just that. As she plugged up the camera to the nearby laptop, she heard Steven scream.

"I JUST REMEMBERED, YOU ALL WAS READY TO SACRIFICE ME TO CHUTHUL BY THE SECOND CHOICE!"

"BUT YOU BECAME A GOD!"

Alex looked over at them to see Steven ticking the woman in his lap as he simultaneously rained down kisses upon her neck, making her squeal in delight.

*click!*

Of course, she took a picture of the cuter scene. "I still don't get how you two are not together." She muttered." Maybe I can find out the full story later tonight…." She sighed, "oh god, I need a date or a 'jambud' of my own."

"Hey, Alex!"

 She looked back over at the two to see Steven trying to get her attention 

"Can you pass one of our phones, please!" 

Alex looked over at the table and spotted the two devices, a darkish pink and a forest-blue. They both had a text notification. With a shrug, she picked them both up. "How well do you catch?"

"Not well enough to catch my phone!" Steven yelled.

"I am," Connie announced confidently.

"That's all I needed to hear." 

With that, she grabbed both phones, a bit of masking tape, wrapped it around both, and launched them both. 

"Oh, it's coming." She heard Connie's voice raised. The silence of the stage got her a bit worried.

"Got' em; thank you!" Steven called back.

"Welcome, now let me do this so we can get back to it," Alex expressed with a thumbs up, her eyes going over the pictures on the screen. 'These two could do some real couple modeling. Photogenicity aside, they just look excellent as a unit, and their body language towards each other is at the forefront. They come off as innocent yet impassioned, cute yet coquettish, loving yet libidinous.' Alex surmised as she gazed over the photos, selecting and adding them into both a folder.

"Hey, they came out beautifully." 

"They really did. Thinking about adding a background." Alex looked up to see Wanda with a camera in her hand as she named the folder."What's up, boss lady?"

"Got a couple more for you to add."

Alex took the camera with an arched eyebrow, hooking it up to the laptop. Her teeth kissed as she looked at pictures. She placed her fingers on her lips, thumb under her chin, and slightly nodded her head. "These two… I want to see these two in the bride and groom looking just like this. We have to; they're just…" 

"Yeah, I know," Wanda said as she looked at the pictures. 

The first picture was Connie pulling up a video, most likely the video they spoke about prior; Connie was sitting in his cross-legged lap while Steven drooped his arms around Connie's shoulder comfortably. A firey, determined look in her raven eyes and on her face as she tried to find the video. On the other hand, Steven's attention was all on her.

His smile was small but so genuine. Full of pure love and affectionate pride for the woman, treasuring her, favoring her, adoring her..all with his deep brown-eyed gaze. All without her being aware.

The next photo was its companion and mirror in away. Connie seemed to have found the video by the mid-chuckle grin that threatened to split his face. Phone in his hand, head on her shoulder. Utterly oblivious to the goings-on beside him. The gaze his best-friend was giving him.

'And what a gaze it is.' Alex mused. 

Connie's eyes were half-lidded, her mouth a relaxed grin, and to the untrained eye or someone who hasn't been around these two for more than an hour, they would have written off as merely teasing, and they would be wrong. 

That expression radiated exceptional pride, heartfelt tenderness, and limitless affection for the man beside her. The unbridled joy and the way he was the only one in those raven orbs was something to be envious of.

"How?"

Wanda looked at her employee in question.

"How can two people, not in a relationship, look at each other like that? With such…

"Reverence and intimacy."

Alex nodded. "The way they act and such is one thing...but..this. These seconds….These moments caught in between the playing and teasing..."

"You seemed quite taken with them, Alex."

Alex looked at her witch adorned boss with a bit of a scowl. "It's not like that...It's not just them… More like. I'm intrigued by what they have. This thing..this type of romance..naw too weak...this bond..they won't or can't name...It's..ugh!"

Wanda laughed. "Alex, you just accidentally found your muse." Before she could continue, her phone rang. "Gotta take this. Alex, get ready for the next shoot. We are actually behind time and have more costumes to try." Wanda ordered gently with a wink before pulling her phone out the top of her costume.  "Hello? miss Jewels, yes, we'll be ready for you tomorrow..yeah ..yes. "

Alex sighed as she got up from the desk and got her camera before walking over to the two. She paused at the scene, feeling a surge of excitement. 

"Why am I the one getting sacrificed…Again?" Steven's voice could be heard through the phone, annoyed and desperate, and also trying not to laugh.

"It's not personal, it was a majority vote, and you're kind of suspicious, Traitor." A feminine voice answered.

"Screw you, Jewels!" Steven answered as everyone in the audience and on stage laughed, "You're the one sabotaging us, literally try to drag the party into the room called 'your soulmate is 50%  Zach Callison and 50% hamilton."

"Better than the, 'everything you love is canceled' room."

"AT LEAST WE GOT A KEY IN THAT ROOM."

As Steven cackled at the admittedly horrible animation, Connie leaned upon him, gazing up at him with eyes full of bottomless adoration. This close lip smile displayed her protectiveness for him. It was an expression of accomplishment as if she was watching a dream come true or something she fought so hard for finally came to fruition. A treasure she had searched for and would stake everything she had to keep.

It told a story of the hard times and struggles they had to go through without saying anything. If seeing him be so relaxed and carefree, place something so determined and passionate on her face. 

Well, she'd be a fool not to take its picture.

[softforcal]

Omg could you please do a poly!5sos where reader gets pregnant and they tell the fans and everyone’s reaction and how they act around reader. You can choose who like got reader pregnant lol

-i just want to start by saying i’m in love with this

-so you’ve been in this poly relationship for a while

-it was a huge shock when you all came out to the fandom as being in a five person poly group? like, shook. hard core

-people were skeptic at first

-you all had to deal with your fair share of disrespectful radio hosts saying shit like “okay, but how long is it going to last? i mean don’t you all get jealous?” or “how exactly does that work? you know, in the bedroom.”

-but those questions died down after a while because the boys made it clear that they were not about to take that shit

-anyways, you’ve been together for a while and people are used to the idea

-all of you had just come back from their tour, it had been wild to say the least

-we’re talking all kinds of exhibitionism sex and quickies and all the good stuff

-condoms of course, because safety first kids

-and you’re all finally back in LA and you’re all cuddling and watching a show and there are kids in the show being so cute and kid like and you’re all kind of melting at how adorable the kids are

-”i want kids so badly.”

-everyone kinda looks at Ashton because everyone knows he wants a lot of kids but its not something you’ve ever talked about as a group before

-you turn off the tv and begin talking

-”i mean, if we even consider it, who would be the father?”

-”we could do surrogates for each of us.”

-”and then just have like four children all at once?”

-”wouldn’t be the worst thing.”

-you all talk for hours about it because there are so many possibilities and there are so many things to consider in a poly group that regular two people couples don’t have to worry about

-”i’m just worried that if we do this, the three who aren’t the dad will be kinda sad about it.”

-”have you guys heard about that thing where a woman gets pregnant by two different guys and then has twins but they have different fathers?”

-you all look it up and someone’s just like “apparently you can have triplets with three different fathers.”

-”can you imagine?”

-so much laughter

-”do we think we’re ready for a baby?”

-all of you deciding to sit and think on it for a week

-Michael and Ashton are the first to break and a day later are both just like, yeah, we want kids

-Luke and Cal agree too and then it’s up to you

-”if i get pregnant, what if we don’t do a dna test to see who the father is?”

-i mean, there would probably be signs and you all know that, but yeah, not doing a dna test is a thing. because that way, its all of theirs. its all of yours

-going out clubbing together and being a huge clump of hands and lips as you make it back to the house, all managing to get to the bedroom and Ash goes to get the condom box when you’re just like “no. no condoms.”

-wild, raunchy sex fam, i know it, you know it, we all know it

-and the thing about pregnancy is it doesn’t always happen the first time you try so lets say a full week of high frequency sex and they’re all so loving

-like, because you’re actually trying to create something, it’s this entirely different level of intimacy and love and commitment

-and they are so doting on you

-you look it up and find out you probably wont get an accurate pregnancy test until after the first day of your missed period

-waiting is so excruciating because you all want to know so badly

-”hey, should you have had your period by now?” Calum asks one day

-”i don’t know, let me check my calendar.” you do the math and you realize Calum is right, if your cycle happened exactly as it was supposed to, you should have had your period the day before

-you and Cal rushing to the store for a pregnancy test while you call all the guys to tell them that you’re grabbing it

-showing up home and the other three have raced there and are waiting for you and Cal

-”wait, i don’t really have to pee.”

-they all run to the kitchen and fill up glasses with water for you to drink

-sitting in the living room waiting for you to drink

-”okay… i think i could pee.” “then pee woman! pee!”

-they can’t all fit in your bathroom so they all pace outside while you pee on the stick

-you set it down in the sink facing up before it has a result and go back outside, “we should wait a few minutes then we can all go in together and see what it says.”

-so much pacing

-especially Ashton, he is freaking out

-and him freaking out is making Luke freak out, he’s standing too, shifting on his feet

-Michael’s knee is bobbing anxiously

-Cal has his head in his hands

-a timer goes off and you all stop and look at the bathroom

-”okay, we all go in and don’t look down, then look down together, agreed?”

-you all file in, it’s a bit squishy but Michael counts down from three and you all look down

-”holy fuck!”

-they all want to hug you but there’s no space so you all go into the living room to celebrate

-but they’re all so worried about your tummy

-the softest kisses

-Calum is the first to go down to his knees and kiss your tummy even though there is not even a slight bump at all

-”thats our baby in there.”

-”lets throw a fucking rager!” this is classic Ashton celebrating

-but they don’t want to tell anyone why they’re celebrating yet? they want to be the ones to break the news to the fandom and don’t want any possibility of it getting out

-so a bunch of people come and your guys are just so sweet to you

-Luke making you a non-alcoholic cocktail

-Michael freaking out when he sees you drinking what looks like an alcoholic beverage and you have to explain to him that its virgin, he even has a sip

-and thus begins the great non-alcoholic cocktail competition on who can make the best cocktail for you

-people at the party are so confused

-your guys are protective of shit now though

-going outside while Cal is smoking and Cal throws the cigarette away and is just like “baby, you can’t be near smoke right now!”

-as soon as Luke sees you yawn for the first time he’s just like “thats it! party is over!”

-between the four of them they somehow get everyone out in under ten minutes?

-Ashton carries you to upstairs bridal style and he sets you in bed but you’re like “guys i need a shower, and you’re all sweaty and-”

-before you can even finish Ashton is carrying you to the bathroom

-but they can’t all fit in the shower, Ashton gets in because he’s the one who’s carrying you around, and before anyone can stop him, Michael is getting in too

-they both wash you and Michael’s like “is that a bump already?” and you’re just like “yeah, that’s my non-alcoholic cocktail baby.”

-sleeping in a huge mass between all your boys but they all are somehow touching your belly

-you would think that they’d calm down with the whole ‘treating our woman like a fucking queen while pregnant’ but they dont

-finding time to sit down and call all their families

-its kinda confusing because they’re fam’s dont really want to ask the question on who is really the father

-their fams for the most part being super accepting

-(imma be real here, i dont know jack shit about their families yo)

-you’re able to hide the small beginning of the bump with loose shirts but it gets to the point where you can’t hide it

-plus, the boys are being super protective of you and everyone has noticed

-”are we going to be that couple group that does a whole pregnancy photoshoot?” you joke

-”why do you not want that?” Ashton asks, “because i can cancel the photo shoot if you don’t want it.”

-a week later you’re at a super hush hush photoshoot with a hella professional pregnancy photographer but even they have to take some time to work out how they’re going to include all four guys

-but they’re all hella photogenic? so it don’t matter

-it being actually super fun? and they’re all so giddy and excited

-spending an entire day choosing the perfect photo to use to announce the pregnancy

-spending two more days coming up with the perfect caption

-spending another whole day working up the courage for you to post it

-you all have the post open on your phones on insta just waiting to hit the post button

-finally Michael says “fuck it” and just hits all the post buttons

-fans flip their shit

-like it actually practically breaks the internet

-trending on twitter

-people posting reaction videos on youtube

-the instagram picture posted showing up in so many articles that are up within 24 hours about it

-so many congratulations from people on twitter

-an official 5sos post about welcoming a new member to the 5sos family

-they want to just stay with you all day and take care of you but they have to go to work things

-going to the first interview since the announcement and the interviewer is an asshole and asks “who is the father?” and Ashton straight up leaves and Cal has to follow to make sure he doesn’t punch a hole in a wall somewhere

-they make it very clear that shit like that won’t fly

-making a twitter post about how people shouldn’t be ignorant and that you all made a choice to not know the DNA and that no matter who’s the baby ‘actually’ is (whether that be Luke, Or Calum, Or Michael, or Ashton) that its all of their baby

-Cal getting worried about the pregnancy being so public

-like… celebrity babies aren’t respected by people and internet trolls will come after anyone, even children

-they all get kinda worried about it tbh

-Michael really pushes you all forward and focuses on the positives

-like baby names

-your group chat consisting of entirely baby names and polls on names and screenshots of name meanings

-Luke probably snuggles against your tummy the most

-but Cal loves the way his tattooed hands look on your growing tummy

-they definitely all go out on a group shop one day and come back with baby things

-Michael finding the cutest onesies that are gamer related, seriously, look them up, they’re so funny

-Luke trying to set up the baby crib but Ashton ends up doing most of the work while Calum hands him things

-you get food cravings like a motherfucker and one of them is always down to go to the store to grab you things

-usually its you, Cal and Duke going to a corner store at three in the morning

-and Luke is not allowed to cook for you

-i can see Ash especially trying to do stuff to make you laugh

-half the time he has a hoodie with a basketball in the tummy area and pretends to be pregnant with you

-so many bubble baths with your guys

-you are legit being treated like a Queen

-they look it up to see at what point research says maybe the baby can hear things

-and then they take turns playing their favourite songs they’ve made

-”can’t we play something not 5sos?” “and make the baby prefer some other musician? i think not Y/N!”

-Ashton tapping little beats onto your stomach

-the baby kicking for the first time while Ashton is drumming and he screams

-everyone comes running and when Luke says “what’s happening?” the baby moves again

-four pairs of hands on your tummy

-so much cooing

-realizing the baby likes certain voices and certain songs

-so if its moving around a lot and you can’t sleep you play a slow song like “ghost of you” and the baby settles down a bit, or when Michael sings for the baby

-ya’ll have no idea if the music or Michael actually helps but whatever

-this is such a soft concept

-the request was only for pregnancy not birth or toddler so here’s this, also i never really understood baby fever or anything but jesus fuck if this is what i’d get? i’d be down fam

Went to the Ontario Reign game, had a great time, they lost, Cal Petersen didn't allow 6 goals for the first time in a while, Martin Frk scored a goal, Kale Clague is so photogenic, and I got this picture of Mikey Eyssimont so my life is complete. Oh wait, he scored a goal too. So it was worth it. Now to go back to watch them win!

Edit: I watched Matt Villalta take notes all game like what is that and it was super cute. Also he has the most beautiful eyes on the planet. I could've watched him sit and take notes all game. And we really need to stop making backup goalies hold doors open like why is Matt working his butt off like that and like why the notes? Anyways,what a beautiful human being. Ok I'm done. Thank u.

Hey T it's Betty! flannelpunkcalum is a side blog so this is how i have to live. All you really need to know about me is that i impulse bought an entire chocolate cake this afternoon. and uh... obviously he's my husband but you WOULD be really cute with cal like he'd think you were so cute and funny and photogenic and you're so majestic and tall... sexy resting bitch face couple... if i can't have him i'd like you to have him. backup is mikey bc he's sweet and down to earth and your dogs match!

(i’m tagging your blog so this is easier for u to find ur welcome @flannelpunkcalum) BETTY! LOVE OF MY LIFE! MY ANGEL! i wish you’d shipped me with yourself bc then we could be hashtag shishter married sobs in gay

-ship: CALUM! i’ve got a lil college!calum blurb cooked up just for you ;) so let’s say you and cal were assigned lab partners for chem lab your first year of uni, and we all know how clumsy this kiddo is so he probably broke like seventeen stirring rods during a distillation (which shouldn’t even be possible, because why the fuck would you need a stirring rod for distillation? ask your dumbass lab partner cal) and you’d be 100% over his shit so you’d just take over but the kid’s too cute to really be mad at, especially when he’s pouting out an apology at you, so you just shoo him away to go sit at a stool as far away from the experiment as possible, and by the end of the lab you’ve come to terms with the fact that you’re just gonna be doing all the experiments for the rest of the semester and it’s fine, everything’s fine, you just have to do the work meant for two people in under 2 hours while the pretty boy just sits on that damn stool impatiently waiting for lab to be over so he can go to practice. but at the end of lab as you’re walking away you hear some footsteps behind you and a hey, wait, i know i’m not the greatest at this and i really appreciate how you’re doing this so would you maybe be down for coffee? like now? and that’s the beginning of your weekly coffee dates that somehow turn into study hangouts in the library at 3am while the both of you cram for your micro midterms, and somewhere between studying together and doing all his lab work for him the two of you become friends. he starts inviting you to parties and you start having him over for movie nights and people start forgetting there was ever a time the two of you weren’t best friends and spending every second together. something about you just feels right to calum and even though he once tried to use the wrong end of a scalpel during a dissection you can’t really imagine not having this dumb boy over at all times of the day. but that was before he joined that stupid frat. once he gets past initiation and he’s a full brother, he starts going to parties by himself and you start reviewing your flashcards alone, and the two of you are still friends, of course, but you both just have different lives, you know? (at least, that’s what you tell the nosy people who ask.) but it’s not until he’s searching for your laughter in the corners of every party that he realizes how he feels about you, and why he’s been feeling so empty these days even though he’s been trying to fill it with amsterdam and suddenly he’s drunkenly pounding at your door at two in the morning and you’re hissing at him to shut up, my roommates are fucking asleep calum are you insane? you go ghost for like three months and then pull this shit? and his drunk ass just stares at you, taking in your sleep mussed hair and pissed off eyes and those pajamas he got you for christmas and all he wants is you and before he can stop himself he slurs out a look, i’m sorry for everything and i know i’m a fuckin mess and you deserve so much better than this but mate, can i please just fuckin kiss you? and you just stare at him because of course he would do this, of course he’d tell you he feels the same right when you’re getting over him and you want to smack him for being such an idiot but for now you settle for grabbing him by his dumb shoulders and kissing him before mumbling about how you’re lucky you’re cute as shit and i like you or else i’d be murdering you right now and i’m so sorry for how long this is and i know it’s shitty and a mess but you know what that’s what my life has become

-song: you’re gonna hate me for this but left right - yg

-compliment: okay betty FULL HOMO you’re one of my favorite human beings ever and you’re so cute and snarky and witty and you write so well and you’re gorgeous and wOW i love you

Initial Character Ideas

Main Character - Joe

Having myself as the main character feels like the best move, I feel a little more comfortable on camera having acted in my previous film as well. I also can let go of that nervousness when I pass the camera over as I feel really comfortable with my friends and classmates behind the camera.  

so my character is going to be the one who I want to go through the biggest change. In the film I want there to be some off camera conflict between him and his father figure. And the resolution of the film comes from his closure.

Younger Brother - James

James was great in the last film, he is incredibly reliable and has an amazingly photogenic face.

James plays Joes younger brother, I wanted James to be the closest to Joe, but I feel like he only has a role as exposition. James welcomes Joes return with open arms but also explains to the audience that he might not be welcomed by everyone else,

Older Brother - Reuben Davies Lindley 

Reuben is a frequent collaborator of mine having lived with him last year and having been friends with him since first year. I worry only because Reuben isn’t any kind of actor nor have done any before although I do trust him and do feel like I can rely on him.

His actions in the film while short display how angry his family feels after his departure. I want his character to have a whispering outburst which I think could lead into the initial conflict of the film.

Uncle - Cal

Cal is not someone who I have collaborated with before but he does have a good faceCal plays the drunk uncle who has been sleeping with Liv, Hence the drunkedness. Again I am replying on him as a first time actor which could prove really difficult in selling the situation to the audience.

Dead Father Figure - Fraser

With most coming of age films there comes a father figure that dies or disappoints the main character. Fraser I think would be a perfect candidate.

I think it would be fitting for there to be a vacant presence over the film. I don’t want Fraser to be in the film at all, I am thinking of doing a test with some kind of 18mm film where we could present the group in a familial situation. and Joe and Fraser could be fighting in the background. However this is a simple test idea

Widow - Liv

Liv is Frasers actual girlfriend, She isn’t an actor and I thought it would be fun having a weeping widow through out the films run. Her role would mainly consist of crying, but within those tears I think there could be something more, some indication of infidelity. 

Sister - Eve

I think that there should be a sister to Liv who would naturally comfort her in this situation. I think also that this character could display some anger towards Joe, and represent how the group may truly feel towards him. 

Priest - Sam

I think that there should be an outsider thats presence may triggering the groups to fracture and argue. I think that his presence could also be a gateway for the audience to get to know the rest of the cast, as they are introduced to each other

Uncle - Laur

Laur is another friend and flatmate that has a very vampiric look. His look could go a long way for this film. i am not sure where I can put him in this film but another uncle figure could put him along side Cal as the more put together or sorted version.
