Getting to Know Comedian Silas

I would say every comedian I’ve been on stage with...

1. What made you want to explore comedy? I think I’ve always been a silly kid and I kinda just stumbled into it when I started telling jokes, and I was getting laughs, and I would think “I kind of like that.’’ So, I would sneak in my little jokes; I would write, and people would laugh. Long story short, I went to an open mic, I didn’t bomb, so I said “Okay, this is something I could continue…

SILAS CLINE ... for @wrixie's JUMPING for JUNIPER Bachelorette Challenge!

let me introduce to you silas cline! aka everybody's dream trashy wannabe music artist boyfriend.

silas cline grew up in the sleepy suburbs of san sequoia, starting a small band in high school, before immediately jumping ship to san myshuno after he graduated. there, he learned that not everything was sunshine and rainbows--and it especially wouldn't be as easy as he hoped for his idyllic pipe dream. still, he didn't let any of his troubles get him down! it's all part of the "journey," as they say.

more info below the cut!

full name: silas cline age: young adult (~26-27) pronouns: he/they sexuality: bisexual occupation: unemployed "aspiring musician"

traits: muser, goofball, slob, music lover

likes: playing guitar, alternative music, video games, sausage pizza, road trips, stand-up, rom-coms, large dogs, dancing (even if he has two left feet), karaoke

dislikes: having to fix things, airplanes ("what's the deal with airline food? hahaha i'm deathly scared of flying"), snobs, cooking for himself, long lines, thunderstorms, crime films, confrontation, parrots (they think they're better singers AND comedians than he is!!)

fun facts:

the band they started in high school was called "rat mouse"

he was homeless for a few months after his savings ran out. fortunately, a friend let him crash at their apartment until he could "get back on his feet." he still sleeps on their couch.

he has a younger sister who is currently attending medical school.

if they had the money, they would treat their partner extremely lavishly. unfortunately for them, they're incredibly broke...

he once owned a motorcycle... before he crashed it, totaled it, and broke his arm. he now owns a beat-up van.

(feel free to dress him how you want if chosen. he has some cc but most of his outfits are from the new "grunge revival" kit. he literally owns like 3 pairs of pants and a bunch of band t shirts. sorry.)

hihi ! could we get a lvl 3 cyno fictive ? we have a cyno fragment that needs to be fleshed out ^ . ^

sure can! fun fact: we met his voice actor in person :] alejandro is a super cool guy -🌳

meow used mostly arabic and egyptian names fur him beclaws of Sumeru’s theming ~ theres some non-ethnic names aswell do be aware of that!! :3 - 🍥

name :: cyno, cyrus, silas, amun*, nassor, zafar, jabari, usi, amir, sayf, horus*, seth*

age :: 18 to 21

pronouns :: he/him, hy/hym, ty/tyr, sae/saer, se/sem, thae/thaer, thon/thons

roles :: coach, comedian, confidence holder, disciplinarian, jailer

species :: human, wielder of Hermanubis’ power

gender identity :: genderqueer, anubiagender, desertarian, electrobodiment, aesumerun, anubisic (will coin on request)

orientation :: vincian/achillean, erosian [only use if the body is poc!]

source :: genshin impact

aesthetic :: ancient egypt, fantasy, sigma (jokingly)

appearance description :: born to followers of hermanubis and the long-deceased king deshret, cyrus has all the hallmarks of a desert-dweller: deep, dark skin, earth-toned eyes, and a strong build. tyr pure white hair and severe red eyes stand out from the crowd — as it should, given that these are the hallmarks of royalty last seen several hundred years ago. it is because of amun’s oddities that thae were chosen to hold the ba fragments. in silas’ continuity, hy was given both pieces instead of just one. this further impacted his appearance: soft features like those of the deity before hym, along with much more muscle due to the intense training regimen sayf went through as a child. nassor still left the temple of silence while he was young, moving to sumeru and joining spamtamad with saer mentor. such great accomplishments and raw power saw jabari become the general mahamatra at the young age of 17. thons severe gaze and no-nonsense expression gets the criminals talking every time.

personality description :: usi’s stern demeanor and muscular build appears intimidating at first glance. indeed, thon is, making thon ruthlessly effective at capturing akademyia’s criminals and rule-breakers to bring them back to the matra for punishment. thons face usually dons a frown and narrowed eyes, sizing up the criminals who try to get away with horrendous things. in truth, cyno is not always so stern. while sae may seem strict on duty, seth is quite playful: cracking constant bad jokes and horrible puns in his deadpan voice, challenging friends and colleagues alike to tcg battles, and spending the majority of his time with his partner-in-crime tighnari & his forest ranger assistant collei.

likes :: desert views, sunlight (even if it seems harsh), warm sand under his toes, gentle wind over the dunes, buried treasure, justice for the wicked, delivering punishment, hermanubis, the matra, respect for his accomplishments, his job, absolutely awful “dad” jokes, puns, card games, trading card games, deck building, al haithem, kaveh, collei, and tighnari

dislikes :: those who break the rules, misuse of academic supplies, braggarts, complainers (this is why thon can only hang out with kaveh for so long), stuck-up students, those with superiority complexes, being cooped up for too long, negative reviews left on the akademiya public message boards (he’ll leave a witty retort back), being told his jokes suck or that he’s a terrible comedian (thon takes pride in his bad puns), and azar.

front triggers :: card games (specifically tcgs), academic misdemeanor, disrespect towards teachers, dad jokes, and bad puns

signoff :: 🐪, 🌵, 🏜️, or ☀️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Speedy Acquaye, Hirohiko Araki, the 1969 debut of Blind Faith, Beryl Booker, Gwendolyn Brooks, Royce Campbell (Funk Brothers), THE JOHNNY CASH SHOW 1969 TV debut, Georgiana Cavendish, the great Johnny Clegg, Silas Roy Crain (Soul Stirrers), George Ezra, Tal Farlow, William Forsythe, Gordon Gano, Paul Gauguin, Nikki Giovanni, Juan Luis Guerra, Damien Hirst, Nihad Hrustanbegović, Tommy James & The Shondells 1969 “Crystal Blue Persuason” single, Mickey Jones (Man), Tom Jones (great to have met you), Paddy McAloon (Prefab Sprout), Dave Navarro, Liam Neeson, Ken Osmond, Prince, Jack Ryland (3 Dog Night), George Szell, Jessica Tandy, Karl Urban, Clarence White, and the legendary, consummate entertainer, comedian, singer, and actor, Dean Martin. In the late 1940s he broke out in a hugely successful comedy duo with Jerry Lewis, then was seared into public conciousness with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. in The Rat Pack. My respect for Dino grew around his musical choices and catalogue of material. I do several covers of his songs (especially in my care home set) and my original song “Somebody Loves You (Like Dino Said)” has a direct refraction on Dean’s “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You.” In 1955 he had a #1 hit with the folk-doo wop song “Memories Are Made of This.” It became a theme for a book written by his daughter Deana, a singer in her own right whose career intersected with The Monkees and Davy Jones (they also dated back in the day), and there was a phase where she’d sit in on our gigs + she sang with us at Davy’s 2012 New York memorial and a Monkees Convention in 2013. Davy was also close friends with Dino Martin (of Dino Desi & Billy), and when they weren’t driving old army tanks around in the desert, they played pool with Dean at Dean’s home. Davy was quite a comedy quipster, and he often said, “It’s OK to steal my jokes. I just stole them from someone else.” One of his “someone else” sources was Dean Martin. 

“Memories Are Made of This” was written by Richard Dehr, Terry Gilkyson, and Frank Miller—as The Easy Riders, they provided the vocal harmonies on Dean’s version. After the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, the song was adapted into the "Honvágy-dal" ('The Song of Homesickness”) and used as an unofficial anthem for refugees scattered around the world. Recorded by Ida Boros, it became a cultural phenomenon and a sign of protest against the communist government. The standard English version has been covered countless times (notably by Little Richard, Johnny Cash, and Cliff Richard & The Shadows), and here’s how I do it in my assisted living home set. Meanwhile, HB Dino—thank you for the hours of humor and song you left us.

[the-diary-of-bernard-sims]

Well.

That was infuriating, but ultimately fruitful.

My name is Bernard Sims. I am Archon for Justicar Juliet Parr, on assignment away from once-great London to prevent the rise of thinbloods creating a new free state in the Appalachian region of the United States, and we are finally, FINALLY on our way.

But not without a hanger-on or two.

Upon returning from delivering the document to Mr. D, Chikara informed us that a request had been made for us to give a ride to one Tony Depp, an Embraced comedian who needed transport to Knoxville. Initially, I thought, "well, as long as he's not a hindrance, it will be fine". And initially, I was right.

... initially.

So, in order to gain audience with Mr. Willow, we would need two things - a token in the form of a gold coin for entrance (one that Mr. D provided... I am far more amenable to him now that he is not actively making my task harder), and appropriate clothing. Thankfully, motion pictures are a big industry in this city, and our Mr. Depp had a contact that could get us into a wardrobe department to acquire our garments. There was a hitch (when getting payment for the man, he tried to isolate and hold up Silas, who drank from him and paid him off for his trouble) but ultimately we acquired our attire without major incident. (Shame about the golf cart. Depp's man left it behind after his encounter with Silas, but it proved too logistically difficult to bring along. Too bad. It might have served us well in the backwoods.)

So! On to the freehold! I in my doublet, the ladies in their dresses, Silas as a plague doctor, and Depp... as a jester.

I should have seen it as the omen it was, and I don't mean Silas' attire.

Upon arrival in the opulent (imagine the purest definition of the word; this was it) space of these Fair Folk, we were greeted by one of their barons, Sabrina, and, as a breath of fresh air, mostly wanted us to STAY OUT of their affairs. We were given passage, and even a guide, one of their number, Fiona, to take us through the territory, on the condition we make ourselves scarce as quickly as possible. We were nearly on our way...

... and then Depp saw a stage.

For some, unknown, bizarre, FUCKED UP reason, Depp decided to ascend to the stage (even after our host made it EXCEEDINGLY clear that our presence would be respected, but barely tolerated) and perform a... tight five? His mediocre comedic performance. Thankfully, the crowd was amused, rather than livid, and Depp was allowed to make his exit.

Once we arranged to meet Fiona to (finally!) leave the city, I let my displeasure with Depp be known. In short, if he has the gall to pull a stunt like that again, I will reintroduce him to sunlight.

He seemed to get the message.

But, things are successful. We have transport, we have our guide, and we have a route (driving wide of Clinton and its power plant, going through Witherville, then Barlo, and then as close as we can get to the anarch campsite by vehicle until we have to track on foot). With any luck, we'll have this put away in a few days.

We dropped off Depp in Knoxville. Good riddance.

... blast it, I still need to get boots.

Sincerely,

Bernard Sims

Hanabishi, “Bossing” Vic Sotto Continue Partnership

MANILA, Philippines - Hanabishi Appliances recently renewed its partnership with its first and long-time brand ambassador, actor-host Vic Sotto. This is the ninth year that the two icons -- one in the appliance sector and the other in Philippine entertainment -- will be working together.

“We believe in keeping lasting relationships. We have been working with Bossing since 2014, and it has been a really fruitful collaboration. Throughout that time, we have seen consumer preferences evolve, challenges like the pandemic come up, and more competition enter the market. Our partnership has helped us navigate all these obstacles. He is more than just a kapartner for us; he has become part of the family already,” said Hanabishi President and CEO Jasper Ong.

Bringing Joy and Help to Filipinos

The brand’s collaboration with Sotto goes beyond product promotions.

“It is a partnership that is built on a shared mission of bringing joy to Filipino families. Hanabishi is committed to making household work easier and helping people put up their own businesses through our various appliances. Likewise, Bossing, through his movies and TV shows, has brought laughter and happiness to Filipinos across the country,” said Cherish Ong-Chua, Vice President for Finance and Marketing of Hanabishi Appliances.

Sotto lauded Hanabishi for taking part in the various community projects of Eat Bulaga, the country’s longest-running noontime show.

“Maasashan ang Hanabishi pag dating sa mga quality appliances. Gayundin, maasahan mo sila sa paghatid ng tulong sa mga nangangailangan tuwing may krisis. Malaking bahagi sila ng mga community initiatives ng Eat Bulaga (You can count on Hanabishi when it comes to quality products. Likewise, you can count on them when it comes to helping people during times of crisis. They are a big part of the community initiatives of Eat Bulaga),” the veteran actor and TV host said.

 A Fiesta-Themed Welcome

Hanabishi celebrated their renewed partnership with Sotto through a fiesta-themed event. He was welcomed by Mr. Ong and Ms. Ong-Chua along with Hanabishi VP for Operations Candice Ong-Ang and VP for Purchasing and Merchandising Jevon Ong.

In keeping with the theme, the guests were served a buffet of Filipino dishes prepared by Milky Way Cafe. Hanabishi products that are perfect for the hot summer months were raffled off. A “guess the price” contest was also held, with three winners taking home Hanabishi appliances. Comedian, podcaster, and content creator Stanley Chi hosted the program.

“As we mark our 37th year, we would like to thank all the people like Bossing who have become part of our success. We are grateful to all the consumers who have made Hanabishi their brand of choice when it comes to their home and business,” said Ong-Chua.

expressions + answering the age old question of how tf his outfit works

[esmecarmona]

I told you it’d work out.

[likeahorribledream]

ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍᴇ

TWO: HOT AND COLD

CHAPTER ONE

SUMMARY: You and Chris finally get Silas' approval to officially join his crew. The stakes are high now that you and Chris need to move in and act like a couple at all times.

REQUEST: Chris and reader at the party scene and one of the bad guys get a little too touchy with reader and Chris almost breaks cover.

PAIRING Chris x Reader

Word Count: 4.4k

NOTES: This series will have 5 chapters + epilogue and potentially even a few bonus chapters. I’m just obsessed with Chris and can’t get enough of him. Hence why this request inspired such a long story! Also there weren’t specific details as to who the reader was supposed to be so I went with an agent!

WARNINGS: Angst, fluff, any warnings that apply for the movie.

ᴍᴀꜱᴛᴇʀʟɪꜱᴛ

Two months, that’s how long it took to be completely in. The vibe changed greatly once Chris started to show that he trusted you and it helped speed up the process. You and him are friends now and it’s much easier to pretend you’re together when you have another kind of relationship with him.

‘’I wonder why Petra wanted us to come early tonight.’’ You say to Chris while he’s driving you over to Silas’ house.

Usually on Fridays you show up around 9-10 pm but tonight Petra was very clear that you needed to be there by 7. ‘’Do you think they know?’’

He shakes his head. ‘’No, otherwise they would have pretended like everything was normal until we got there.’’

‘’Makes sense.’’ You agree with him.

‘’You wearing the knife I got you?’’

You nod. ‘’Put it in my boot, like you told me.’’

‘’If things go south at least we’re not unarmed.’’ He glances at you. ‘’What do we do if things go south?’’

‘’We try to convince them that we’re legit, if they don’t believe us then we fight our way out, we get in your truck and call for backup while getting our asses out of there.’’

‘’And?’’

‘’If I make it out and you don’t, I have to leave without you and not go back.’’

He squeezes your hand with his, the coldness of his rings giving you goosebumps. ‘’We got this.’’

You take a deep breath as he parks and you get out of the truck at the same time he does. He locks the doors and rounds the car to join you. He puts his keys in your pocket, in case you need to make a run for it, then takes your hand as you walk towards the door. Chris walks in without knocking like he’s been doing for weeks. Silas’ the one who told him that you were always welcomed and didn’t need to knock anymore.

Chris likes it because that way if there’s anything bad going on, he can take them by surprise and the surprise can give you advantage for either running away or making arrests.

You shut the door behind the two of you and follow Chris deeper into the house. He puts his arm around you as you walk and brings you close to kiss your cheek.

‘’Game face on, Dove.’’ He whispers so close to your ear that his facial hair tickles you.

‘’The lovebirds are finally here!’’ Petra says when she sees you come in. ‘’Get it? Lovebirds? Dove?’’

‘’You should quit your day job and become a comedian, sold out venues every night.’’ You tease her.

‘’Whatever.’’ She rolls her eyes and invites you to sit down next to her on the floor. ‘’Silas wants to say something to you guys.’’

Chris sits on the couch behind you, always staying close, while you sit with Petra.

Silas walks in a few seconds later, the man does love being dramatic and loves making an entrance even more.

‘’We’ve been making you do a few jobs for a month now.’’ He starts and you nod. ‘’So far everything’s been going great and my dear Petra has been vouching for you since day one so… Welcome to the team.’’

‘’That’s why you wanted us to come over so early?’’ You look at the blonde sitting next to you.

‘’Yes and no.’’ She grins. ‘’Now that you’re part of the team, you gotta get the ink!’’

‘’Now?’’ You ask, surprised. Petra nods. ‘’And who’s going to do that?’’

‘’I am.’’ She says proudly.

Great, you think. Now you need to get three black blobs somewhere on your body. Somewhere you can hide, hopefully.

‘’You ok?’’ She asks you, staring at you.

‘’She’s fine.’’ Chris answers for you. ‘’My baby’s never gotten tattooed before and she’s a bit nervous around needles.’’ He chuckles.

‘’I’ll be fine. Let’s do it.’’

Petra stands up while holding one of your hands, tugging on it so you’d follow. ‘’Where do you want it?’’

‘’Back of my neck?’’

‘’Perfect. Let’s put you in a tank top.’’ She drags you to her room to make you change out of your t-shirt and into a tank top that will give her full access to your neck. ‘’You and Chris will move into the room at the end of the hall, to make sure you never miss anything.’’

‘’I remember you telling me about this.’’ You follow her back into the living room.

‘’The sooner, the better.’’ She makes you sit back down on the floor while she sits on the couch behind you.

You bring your legs to your chest and wrap your arms around them to keep them in place. You rest your forehead on your knees to give her enough space to work with and avoid getting stiff in the neck.

‘’We’ll get to it tomorrow.’’ You promise her.

‘’Ready?’’

‘’No.’’ You laugh. ‘’Do it anyway.’’

‘’Stay still.’’

It doesn’t take long before you regret choosing a spot that’s basically just bones. It hurts like a bitch.

‘’One down, two to go.’’

‘’Fuck me.’’ You hiss.

‘’You called?’’ Chris says after hearing you.

You chuckle, trying not to move. ‘’Dork.’’

‘’I’m going to blame the fact that you’re in pain and forget you called me a dork.’’

‘’Petra?’’

‘’Yeah?’’

‘’Please remind me to call Chris a dork later tonight when I’m no longer in pain so he knows I mean it.’’

‘’Chris, Dove says you’re a dork and she means it when she says it. Here, done.’’

You laugh which quickly turns into a painful hiss. Petra’s tattooing right on top of your spine and it’s even worse than earlier.

‘’You ok, baby?’’ Chris frowns.

‘’Never better.’’ You give him a thumbs up, your forehead still on your knees.

He sits on the floor, facing you, and asks Petra to stop for a second.

‘’Don’t stop, it’ll hurt more.’’

‘’It’s just for a second.’’ He wraps his hands around your calves. ‘’Look up.’’

You lift your head, surprised to see him on the floor in front of you. Chris puts his legs on each side of your body and does the same thing with your legs with his body, your legs on top of his. He moves to sit as close as possible to you so that you can rest your head on his shoulder instead. He puts his arms around your waist and looks at Petra.

‘’She’s good, you can start again.’’

The moment she starts again, your hands fly up to Chris’ shirt to grab it in your clenched fists. He starts rubbing your back with both hands to try and take the focus away from the needles stabbing you repeatedly in the neck.

‘’You’re doing great.’’ He kisses your cheek and keeps rubbing your back as he notices that it helps you relax your body.

‘’Thank you.’’ You whisper.

‘’I got your back.’’ He smiles, even if you can’t see him.

‘’Still a dork.’’ You chuckle.

You hiss at a particularly painful stroke.

"Karma."

"I hate you."

"No one believes you but ok."

"You guys are adorable." Petra says. "A little annoying, but adorable."

"He's the annoying part, I'm the adorable part."

"All done!"

"Finally!!"

"We'll put some cream on and cover it."

You nod and let her do her thing until you're finally able to look up. You stretch your arms and your neck before patting Chris' thigh.

"Your turn, big guy."

"Where do you want it?" Petra asks him.

"Like hers." He takes your spot on the floor and you take his.

You let him rest his forehead on your shoulder and take his hands in yours. Your tank top didn't have a whole lot of fabric to grip on so you gave him your hands to squeeze instead.

"Your shirt is in the way." Petra tugs at his collar.

"Is it really or are you just trying to see him shirtless?" You ask her.

"Guess you'll never know. Off."

Chris rolls his eyes and takes it off, putting his head back on your shoulder once he's done. "There."

You had been holding out your hands between you and Chris so that he could hold them again but instead he chose to grip his shirt. You let your hands fall on your thighs, feeling a little bit like an idiot for thinking he'd want to hold your hands when he doesn't have to.

He doesn't hiss or complain once, unlike you.

"Done." Petra announces, letting Chris sit back up to put his shirt on.

Once he's no longer leaning on you, you stand up and go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"I was gonna get pizza. Wanna come?" Arturo says to you when he sees you searching for food.

"Sure. Let me go change."

You walk back to Petra's room and change back into your shirt, leaving the tank top on her bed.

You walk out of her room and get stopped by Chris.

"What are you doing?"

"Arturo is going out to get pizza and asked me to go with him."

Chris glares at you. "Stop letting him flirt with you. It's making me look bad."

"Again with this?" You sigh. "Fine." You look around for Arturo. "Go on without me." You say loud enough for him to hear you.

Arturo shrugs and leaves.

"There." You roll your eyes and walk around Chris to go sit on the couch.

Petra looks at you, frowning. "You ok?"

"Yep." You nod. "Just hungry." You smile at her.

Chris comes to sit next to you, putting his arm around you and you let him, although you're annoyed with him and want to sit far from him.

You watch the TV in front of you, trying to understand what exactly it is that you're watching.

"We have to move in." Chris says after a while.

You nod. "Petra told me."

"We're going to share a room."

"Yep."

"You ok with that?"

"It's fine, I trust you."

You just wish he would trust you too but no matter what you do, no matter how long you've been working together it doesn't seem like he ever will and it stings but there's nothing you can do about it.

The ride home is quiet, just the low humming coming from the radio and the engine roaring can be heard.

"Do you need help packing your things?" Chris asks as you're getting out of his truck.

"No it's ok, I don't have a lot, but thank you."

"I'll pick you up at noon."

You give him a quick nod. "I'll be ready."

You close the heavy passenger door and walk to the front door of your apartment building under Chris' watchful eyes.

"Good night." He whispers under his breath as he watches you walk inside, only pulling away when the door is completely shut behind you and that you're safe inside.

You go to bed as soon as you're back and wake up at 10 am to pack all of your things which are basically just clothes and a few books. You shove everything into two duffel bags and do a quick walk-around to make sure you aren't forgetting anything. The last thing you need is a lecture from Chris because he needs to give you a ride back here to get something you forgot.

At 11:50, you grab your bags and go downstairs to wait for Chris outside. Chris hates to wait.

He pulls up at 11:59 and gets out of his truck to take your bags.

"You got everything? Did you double check to make sure you weren't forgetting anything?"

Living with him is going to be painful.

"Hi. Good morning. I'm good, thank you for asking. How are you? Did you sleep well? Of course I've got everything, and I didn't double check, I triple checked."

You sigh and get in his truck while he throws your bags in the back.

"I'm sorry." He says after sitting behind the wheel again. "This is just-"

"Stressful, I know." You cut him off because every time, he says the same thing. You're his human stress ball, you've gotten used to it. It sucks, but you're used to it.

Moving in wasn't that hard or complicated. There was already a bed and furniture so all you had to do was put away your clothes and you made sure not to take more than one drawer to not give another reason to Chris to think you're no good.

As soon as you're done, you turn to look at the bed.

"Which side do you sleep on?" You ask Chris.

"Take whichever side you want, I don't mind."

"Which side is it?"

"...Left."

You nod, take off your shoes and climb on top of the right side to lie down.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes, I'm just tired. A lot of late nights and early mornings."

You close your eyes.

‘’Do you want me to go get you something to eat? Maybe get you some water?’’

‘’Water would be nice, thank you.’’

‘’You got it.’’

You hear him walk out, closing the door right after. After a few minutes you open your eyes again and turn to lie on your other side, away from the door. The mattress is extremely uncomfortable and you have no idea how you’re going to be able to sleep on this thing. You bury your face in your pillow and sigh. There’s nothing you can do about it now, or ever for that matter, so you might as well give up right now.

Chris comes back with a bottle of water 15 minutes later. ‘’Sorry, Silas wanted to talk.’’

‘’No worries.’’ You say, still awake.

‘’Are you done napping already?’’

You sit up and take the bottle of water he’s handing you. You take a few sips and put it down on the makeshift nightstand next to your side of the bed.

‘’I haven’t slept at all.’’ You shrug. ‘’This is the worst mattress I’ve ever seen in my life. I think I’m just going to sleep on the floor.’’

Chris arches a brow. ‘’It can’t be that bad.’’

‘’See for yourself.’’ You gesture for him to sit down.

He quickly sits at your feet. He moves around a little, nods his head and stands back up. ‘’There’s no way in hell we’re sleeping on this thing.’’

He opens your bedroom door and pops his head outside. ‘’Yo, Toby. Do you know if there’s mattresses somewhere in this house we can use? Ours is shit.’’

‘’Sorry, man. If you want another mattress you’ll have to go buy one.’’

‘’Thanks.’’ He walks back to you and holds out his hand in front of him. ‘’Come on.’’

‘’What are you doing?’’

‘’You heard him. We’re going to the store.’’

You shake your head. ‘’I’ll sleep on the floor, it’s fine. I don’t want to be a pain in the ass.’’

‘’The only pain in my ass in this room is that mattress. Now come on.’’ He takes your hand and tugs gently on it to get you to stand up.

‘’Ok, ok.’’ You put your shoes back on and stand up while he gets his keys.

He closes your bedroom door, though you’re both 99.9% sure that at least one of them is going to go through your stuff while you’re gone.

‘’Where are you going?’’ Toby asks when he sees you walking to the front door.

‘’We’re getting a mattress.’’ Chris says over his shoulder as he steps outside.

You end up at a store that sells almost brand-new mattresses for cheap.

‘’Oh, Dove. You gotta try this one.’’ You turn around to see Chris lying down on a mattress, looking extra cozy. He’s been testing them all and every 5 minutes he finds ‘’the one’’.

You come to lie next to him and this one is actually very comfortable.

‘’So?’’

‘’Can we afford it?’’ You ask before getting excited.

‘’Of course we can.’’ It’s not like he was using his own money anyway.

‘’That’s the one.’’

‘’Yes.’’ He sits up and looks down at you. ‘’Get up before you fall asleep.’’

‘’I’m not falling asleep.’’

‘’Yeah you are. You have a look when you’re getting sleepy and you have it right now.’’ He chuckles and pokes at your side.

‘’Fine, fine.’’ You sit up. ‘’I’m up.’’

As you walk over to the counter to pay for your ‘’new’’ mattress, you stop Chris.

‘’Hey Chris?’’

‘’Yeah?’’ He turns around to look at you.

‘’Can we get new sheets too?’’

‘’Good call.’’

Judging by the state of the mattress, whoever slept there before you clearly didn’t care about anything and you doubt the sheets got any kind of care aside from a few times in the washing machine.

Once everything’s paid for, you go wait by Chris’ truck and watch as he and one of the store clerks get the mattress in the bed of his truck. He tips the guy even though you would have been more helpful than he was and you get in the truck, holding the new set of sheets.

‘’Want me to help you get it inside when we’re home?’’ You ask, looking at him. resting the back of your head on your seat.

‘’I’ll ask one of the guys.’’

You nod and close your eyes.

Chris glances at you a few times. ‘’Are you sure you’re ok? You don’t look so good.’’ He reaches over to you with his right hand and cup your cheek, his thumb stroking your cheek as he tries to get a good look at you while also not crashing the car.

‘’I’m ok. Just need a good nap. We got home late last night, only got a few hours of sleep.’’ You almost lean into his touch but stop yourself in time.

‘’You gotta be more careful, take care of yourself. You can’t be this exhausted, if something went down and you were like this-’’

‘’I could get you killed, I know.’’ You move away from him to look outside. ‘’I’m sorry.’’

Chris lets his hand fall on the empty space between the two of you, shaking his head. He knows he’s been hard on you because he wants you to do well and he wants you to get out of this alive but he’s starting to realize that maybe he’s been too hard on you. All he wanted to say is that you could get seriously hurt and right away you close yourself up, put his well being above yours and apologize for something that’s out of your control.

He’s noticed you’ve been doing it a lot, you’ve done it this morning when he wanted to make sure you had all you needed. He’ll talk to you about it later tonight, once you’ve rested a bit.

Once you were back at the house, Chris asked for Toby and Arturo’s help to get the old mattress out and the new one in. It took them 35 minutes to make it work, it was actually quite sad to watch. And hilarious. Mostly hilarious. Seeing 3 grown men fight about how to get a mattress through a door is very entertaining.

While they fight you put the new sheets in the washing machine and they are almost completely dry by the time the 3 of them stop fighting.

You wait by the dryer while the sheets finish their cycle and once they’re done you go to your room and start making the bed.

‘’Do you need any help?’’ Chris asks from the doorway, arms crossed over his chest.

‘’I’m ok, thank you.’’ You say without looking up.

‘’So, um, I’ve been thinking and maybe you should take the night off? Just take some time to rest.’’

Did he just bench you? You totally just got benched.

‘’You’re the boss.’’ You simply answer back. You look at the clock to see that it’s barely 4 pm.

Tonight’s going to be a long night. Hopefully you’ll be able to sleep through hearing everyone having fun without you. You grab the things you need to take a shower and the clothes you usually sleep in, and walk past Chris to get to the bathroom you all share. You’ll have to be quick because the last thing you need is someone barging in while you’re naked in the shower. You lock the door and block it as best as you can by opening a few drawers, that should give you enough time to cover up if needed.

You take a shower in record time and quickly get dressed once you’re out. You take care of your damp hair and look down at yourself in the mirror, already regretting choosing to wear a sweatshirt and a pair of shorts.

You close the drawers and unlock the door to then open it and leave the bathroom holding your clothes you changed out of and the things you had brought in with you for your shower.

The annoying thing about this house is that walls are barely existent and you can see everything from everywhere, forcing you to walk in front of everyone sitting in the living room to get to your room.

Toby lets out a low whistle. ‘’Nice legs, Dove.’’

Now you feel like you need to take another shower.

‘’Hey.’’ Chris slaps his arm. ‘’Eyes up.’’

‘’Sorry man.’’ He holds up his hands. ‘’But how are you not all over her all the time?’’

Every time he opens his mouth your skin crawls. You hurry to get to your room and away from Toby’s wandering eyes and thoughts.

‘’It’s called boundaries, you should try it sometimes.’’ Chris rolls his eyes and sits back on the couch.

‘’Come to think of it, you barely ever touch her. You got a girl on the side or somethin’? Because I’d be more than happy to take care of Dove if she’s not doing it for you anymore.’’

‘’How about you focus on your girlfriend and I’ll take care of mine. Oh wait, you don’t have one.’’

Toby flips off Chris and goes back to playing video games.

You fall asleep almost instantly once you get into bed and sleep for a few hours before Chris wakes you up.

‘’Arturo just came back with food, are you hungry?’’

You’re just about to say yes, happy to get out of the room and be with everyone else and have some fun.

‘’If you’re hungry, tell me what you want and I’ll bring it to you.’’

Ha. It looks like you’re not even allowed to eat with everyone else now.

‘’I’m good, thanks.’’ You close your eyes again.

‘’Dove, when’s the last time you ate?’’

‘’I don’t know.’’ You mumble under your breath, hoping he would leave you alone.

‘’Yeah, I’m getting you some food.’’

‘’I’m not hungry.’’

‘’I don’t care, you’re going to eat.’’ He says while he walks out, shutting the door behind him.

He comes back a few minutes later with a plate for you. ‘’The only thing left was mushroom pizza.’’

‘’I hate mushrooms.’’

‘’I know, that’s why I picked them off I don’t think I missed any but just check before you bite into it to be sure.’’

You take the plate and sit up to eat. You look at the slice of pizza between each bite. Chris sits down on the edge of the bed.

‘’Toby said something to me earlier.’’

‘’What?’’ You ask, covering your mouth with your hand as you chew.

‘’He said I’m not affectionate enough with you. He asked me if I had someone on the side, if that’s why I acted like that.’’

You look at him, waiting for him to continue.

‘’We need to go heavier on the PDA.’’

That’ll be easy with him keeping you in your room, away from everybody.

‘’Ok.’’ You give him back your plate and get out of bed.

‘’Where are you going?’’ He watches you.

‘’I need to brush my teeth and I need to pee.’’ You frown, grabbing your toothbrush.

‘’Oh, ok.’’ He nods.

‘’Don’t worry, I’ll come right back here when I’m done.’’ You leave the room and walk to the bathroom.

‘’Nice legs.’’ Toby says again, chuckling to himself.

You turn to glare at him. ‘’Learn some manners or shut the hell up.’’ You slam the bathroom door shut.

Chris drops your plate in the kitchen and comes back to sit with everyone else.

‘’You’re definitely not getting laid tonight. Looks like your girl has her period.’’ Toby tells Chris when he walks in.

‘’Or maybe you pissed her off by being an asshole.’’

‘’Highly unlikely.’’ Toby scoffs.

Everybody stares at you while you walk back from the bathroom.

‘’Going back to bed, baby?’’ Chris asks, as if he hadn’t specifically told you to do just that tonight.

‘’Yep.’’

‘’Wait for me.’’ He says, getting back up and catching up with you.

You climb back into bed while he gathers some of his stuff. ‘’I’m gonna take a shower and I’ll be right back.’’

You nod and lie down, closing your eyes to fall asleep again. You wake back up when you feel someone getting into bed with you, it was especially dark in the room but somehow you know it’s Chris.

He pulls you to his chest with an arm around your middle, holding you there.

‘’What are you doing?’’ You whisper.

‘’Holding you.’’

‘’Why? No one can see us.’’

‘’Because you look like you could use a hug, or ten, and honestly so could I. If it makes you uncomfortable, I’ll back off. ‘’

‘’No, it’s fine.’’

A minute goes by before Chris talks again.

‘’You know, you can tell me if something is wrong.’’ He whispers, unsure if you are asleep and trying to be safe in case someone is trying to listen in.

‘’What makes you think something is wrong?’’

‘’You used to smile a lot. You laughed, you joked around. You were always in a good mood. Now you barely even smile, you don’t joke or laugh.’’

‘’Chris… You’re the one who told me I needed to stop being so carefree and that I needed to take this job more seriously.’’ You say, confused as to why suddenly he’s worried when you’re just listening to what he says.

‘’I did? When?’’

‘’3 weeks in, when you were driving me home. You said that I would never fit in and screw up everything if I keep being ‘’bubbly’’, your word not mine.’’

‘’I’ve been an asshole to you, haven’t I?’’

‘’Again, your word not mine.’’

‘’Get dressed. We’re going for a ride.’’

CHAPTER THREE

All the same-sex couples on Dancing with the stars -affiliated shows I could find about

(aka a very elaborate way to procrastinate homework)

Dorit Milman & Gili Shem Tov - DWTS Israel (2010)

Gili Shem Tov is a lesbian TV sportscaster. Her and her partner Dorit Milman were the first ever same-sex couple in the franchise’s history.

Giovanni Ciacci & Raimondo Todaro - DWTS Italy (2018)

Giovanni Ciacci is a fashion designer, and apparently Raimondo Todari is his real life partner. They went to the Grand Finale, and are the first male couple of the franchise (I think).

Jakob Fauerby & Silas Holst - DWTS Denmark (2019)

Jacob Fauerby is a comedian, and they were the first same-sew couple to actually win!

Courtney Act & Joshua Keefe - DWTS Australia (2019)

Courtney Act is a Drag Race alum, and as you can see she performed in drag.

Nicolas Puschman & Vadim Garbuzov - Let’s dance (Germany), (2021)

Nicolas Puschman is a reality TV star and they came third.

Bilal Hassani & Jordan Mouillerac - DWTS France (2021)

Bilal Hassani is a singer, youtuber, influencer that you might reckognize from 2019 Eutovision (you know, when France and Italy weren’t at war ?)

Jojo Siwa & Jenna Johnson - DWTS USA (2021)

Well you all know Jojo Siwa. I wish the best of times on the show :)

John Whaite & Johannes Radebe - Strictly come dancing (UK), (2021)

John Whaite is the winner of The Great British Bake-Off season 3.

Conclusion : I had no idea we had same sex couple as early as 2010, and it seems crazy to me that we had to wait 8 years for another one. Same sex couples are great representation on mainstream media but it is also a great way to make the dance world evolve, especially with it’s strict gender norms. Besides I learned that you can actually go on Wikipedia in a language you’ve never learned and actually understand something, which is incredible.

Hello everyone! I apologize for not being able to do the AU event yesterday. I unfortunately was too busy to give it the attention it deserved. To make up for it I will be doing two AUs today.

The first will be a Spy!AU. Which I feel like is pretty explanatory. I don’t really have any set roles for them, because I felt like this one was the one where you all could have the most fun with it. Hopefully that’s alright.

The second will be a Modern!AU— an actual one that’s not in a school.

Aeleanor/Aeson: Foreign Ambassador

Elaria/Ezra: CEO

Catherine/Caleb: CFO

Lydia/Luca: Either an Actor or a night club owner

Samara/Silas: Comedian

Lauren: Surgeon

Faolan: Park Ranger

Aidan: Either an Actor (like L) or a diplomat

Nagkabiglang yayaan nanaman yesterday going to Tagaytay. Yung mga highschool friends kong alam naman na night shift trabaho ko pero pinish pa din nila pag kidnap saken. Ako naman pumayag, gala din yun eh haha! First stop was Cecilias, bumili muna ng pasalubong baka kasi masaraduhan bago kami umuwi. So i bought cassava cake, espasol and sansrival.

For dinner time, nag ramen gaming kami sa Surugin Ramen House located in Alfonso Cavite. Konti lang menu ng resto, okay naman yung ramen, maliit lang yung place. I would give it a 3 stars out of 5 for an overall rating.

Last stop, syempre hindi mawawala ang kape everytime na mag gagala. Ako lagi ang bangka sa entertainment. Sila yung tipong tawang-tawa sa mga banat ko. Napaka natural comedian ko daw na pwede na ko mag vlog. Tapos pinatry pa nila ko mag tiktok eh hindi ako marunong sumayaw eh patola ako, ako naman si sunod. So ayun yung tawa nila sobrang lakas! Mga daot na kaibigan.
