#everyone who plays guitar knows wonderwall

[mimixmunson]

When Eddie was learning to play guitar, all of the tutorials were suggesting one song.

Eddie: *plays that song flawlessly*

Steve: “I swear to fucking god, play Wonderwall one more time and I’ll wonder you through this wall.”

Eddie: *smirks and starts to play it again.*

More Modern AU Rose in Bloom stuff! Okay, so I definitely feel like Mac RickRolls Rose at some point. Either once they start dating or as an early attempt at a confession that probably goes over Rose's head. I just feel like Mac would appreciate that it's not only a meme but is also a pretty good expression of his feelings for Rose.

Maybe he even gets Steve to help him recreate the music video. Mac works super hard learning all the dance moves and such and at least tries to do the singing himself. (I don't have headcanons about whether Mac is a good or terrible singer, so his singing may not make it in the final edit depending.)

Oh my WORD—HELP—I’M DYING 😂😂😂😂😂

I love this, but alternately, I raise you—all of the above, but Mac has no idea it’s a meme. (I also can’t decide whether he’d be a good singer or not. I want to say yes, though Charlie is really the one who does the most singing—but he does write the lyrics to that one song for Phebe, and he does sing “The Birks of Aberfeldy” near the end of the original. Good enough evidence for me!) He just kinda sings it at Rose sometimes as a joke because he likes the song and Rose thinks he knows about the meme and is just being a dork, because, of course, while her boyfriend is a brilliant med student and poet, he is, fundamentally, a Dork. Maybe guitar is even one of his latest hobbies that he’s picked up of late and that’s one of the songs he’s teaching himself. Anyway, one day maybe they’re hanging out with Phebe and Archie and Rose makes a comment to Phebe about Mac constantly Rickrolling her, and Mac goes, “Wait, what? What’s ‘Rickrolling’? Oh, wait, do you mean that Rick Astley song? I dunno, I just like it. You know, what’s really interesting is that the song follows the royal road progression, which is a chord progression more commonly found in Japanese pop music—what’s so funny. Why are you laughing.”

Sam teaching you guitar!

A/N: I've finally gotten around to writing this. Hopefully it's good enough. I do not know how to play guitar so…be warned. Also no offense to anyone who enjoys Wonderwall!!! I just would not enjoy learning the song lmao. From this ask! Song!

TW: cursing? Playful bullying?

WC:0.6k

"Sam, I swear if you make me look stupid, I'll beat you up."

The blonde laughs at your words, the situation was supposed to be cute but after seeing what you learned yourself it was more comical than anything else.

"I won't! I promise! You'll be playing Wonderwall like a pro when I'm done."

"Wonderwall? I asked to learn to play something cute or cool, that way when someone asks me if I have any talent I can say 'yeah the guitar' and pull out my guitar and impress everyone. Not 'yeah i can play Wonderwall' what the fuck?" 

"What? Wonderwall's cool!"

You look at him as if he's crazy. If you hadn't already planned all of your day around learning guitar from him you would've walked out, but since you're already here you might as well learn something. So, with all the annoyance you can muster, you allow him to play the song for you so you know what you're learning.

"Okay down, up, down-"

You growl under your breath in annoyance, you had been trying to learn the stupid first verse for an hour now, it had gotten to the point where Sam decided that you should skip to the chorus because no one really cares about the verses anyways when someone is playing the guitar. 

The only bright side was that Sam seemed excited to be teaching you, his radiant smile and his voice had admittedly made you want to fall in love with him, even if he was singing a basic song. The way he threw his head back as soon as he got into the music made your mood lighten up during some points, so the entire learning wasn't a bust. 

After another 2 hours you had gotten the chorus down well enough that anyone would be able to tell what you were playing. It wasn't good persay, but they would be able to tell. You just hoped that Sam would be with you to keep the vibes up, he would be able to distract from your bad playing. 

The two of you go over the chorus once more, Sam was smiling so brightly at you, that you think that you made his week. No one really cared about his music, at least not enough to spend 4 hours in a room with him going over the same couple of chords over and over again. Seb and Abby had their own things, the band was just their side gig, for Sam it was his life. 

"There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't know how~"

You quirk up your eyebrow at him, amused with how passionate he was being even if your playing was trash. He just grins as he continues to sing.

"Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me. And after all, you're my wonderwall~"

You huff out a breath as soon as you finish the chorus, the tension was too much, at least to you in this moment. To relieve yourself you let out a chuckle that you hope is natural. "What's a wonderwall?" 

He shrugs, putting the guitar he was holding away, eyes shining as he stares at you. "So…"

Your breath hitches as your mind races with what he's going to say next. You know if he asks for a relationship, you would agree in this moment, even if you would end up regretting it later on. "Yeah?"

"You think you wanna join the band now?"

You groan and deflate in half relief, half disappointment. Your friendship remains unchanged, for now.

"Absolutely not."

Random hazbin hotel headcanons

Adam

In Heaven he is that one uncle who always gets drunk and tells dirty jokes at the family dinner: no one really wants him there, but he is part of the family so everyone just stands him.

He likes to play Wonderwall, Stacys mom, Never gonna give you up and All star on his guitar.

Sera

Works very hard and is a perfectionist

I think one of her hobbies would be meditation (let's remember that the poor woman has to deal with Adam on a daily basis)

Im pretty sure that when talking about the exterminations Adam suggested that the exterminators should wear a bikini armor, but Sera said "nope" as politely as she could.

Is a nervous wreck on the inside, but a proper lady on the outside

Emily

Curse words are like a foreign language to her, she doesnt know most of them or has no idea what they mean, she just knows that they are bad.

Loves animals and has lots of stuffed toys

Always wants to help and is one of the nicest and most innocent angels in Heaven

[ghostradiodylan]

I'm on a four hour car drive, singing at the top of my lungs (terribly, I'm so congested right now, not gonna stop me though lol), and having quarry brainrot. Who among the counselors do you think can sing well and who do you think can play an instrument?

I looove this question and I have to admit I haven’t thought about it that much so this is gonna be kind of off the cuff, instinctive stuff and I’m sure I’ll refine my opinions if others chime in (please!).

It’s kind of weird we never get any campfire singalong action in the game when there’s a guitar in Chris’s bedroom and he mentions Kumbaya, but maybe they’re tired of that from camp by the time the plot line picks up.

Miles obviously is a musician and Dylan’s the music guy so I’d imagine he’s musically inclined in some way. I’ve seen headcanons that he plays guitar and I could see that but I lean more toward thinking he would have taken piano lessons when he was younger and moved on to keyboard and adding on techie stuff like the Mellotron and Moog synth. I think he loves dials and buttons and weird sounds and he can sing but he’d rather fuck around in the noise. Any instrument he plays is gonna get a bit sad if he loses his hand but maybe he’d get more into sampling and remixing and looping computer generated beats as a result.

I think it would be funny if Jacob had a surprisingly angelic singing voice that was completely uncoached and no one ever expected out of him, sort of like Finn from Glee (RIP) but less auto-tuned. I think he’d be an acoustic guitar guy for sure just for the romance of it. Anyway, here’s “Wonderwall.”

Actual footage of Jacob serenading Emma, feat Abi.

Kaitlyn does not strike me as particularly musical though I headcanon that she and Jacob slay karaoke together. She just kind of shouts into the mic like a 90s riot grrl and sings Alanis or Joan Jett and kills.

Abi is so high school marching band nerd coded to me and I feel like she’s a total flute/piccolo girlie or else clarinet/oboe. Or maybe she plays violin in the school orchestra. Something sweet. She’s good but too nervous to perform or audition in front of people very much so it’s just a hobby she shares with people she trusts.

Emma I think would have a perfectly nice mid range singing voice that she’d wish was better. She probably started her influencer career recording Taylor Swift covers for YouTube but she’s a much better actress and dancer than she is a singer. Not quite triple threat material but she believes in herself so she’s trying.

Ryan has such a unique voice that I can’t decide if he definitely can sing or if he’s practically tone deaf. I kind of lean toward the latter. I imagine he hates his singing voice and rarely sings even for fun but if Dylan catches him singing or humming he’s like smitten times one million about it. I could see Ryan playing drums though, I’d imagine he has a good sense of rhythm.

Max, on the other hand, cannot carry a tune but sings ALL THE TIME anyway. And Laura cringes but finds it endearing all the same. He probably plays the ukulele. He just seems like the type.

Laura was a choir kid for sure and probably got solos in school plays and Max was accompanying her on ukulele and playing unnamed roles or else he was painting backdrops or something. We know Siobahn can sing and I feel like that would carry through with Laura for sure. I imagine them doing elaborate musical routines together on car rides even with their vastly different musical abilities.

Nick reminds me of a bassist I know who is maybe the weirdest human being alive. So that’s where I see him. He can sing a little but it’s definitely a backing vocals voice. I feel like he’d be in a stoner jam band just fucking around, playing the same song for an hour while both the band and audience are too high to know the difference.

Chris Hackett obviously plays guitar and Travis accompanies him on harmonica. Bobby plays blowing air over the lip of a jug and also cowbell.

I LOVE THIS ASK EVERYONE TELL ME THOUGHTS!

mh instrument headcanons from ur local music school attender

tim owns an ancient battered acoustic guitar + a equally battered electric guitar. if it’s vaguely guitar shaped he can probably play it. i hc that he was in college for music composition so yeah he can play most instruments at a basic level buttt he loves his sad little acoustic. plays the forbidden songs in guitar shops (yes he’s that guy)

jay plays bass. doesn’t know how to slap and honestly cba to learn,, is mostly just content playing along with what everyone else is playing in the moment even if it means he’s just stuck doing the 8-bars-of-root-notes-then-repeat. he has such bass player energy (totally not biased) you don’t notice he’s gone til he’s gone yk. he can also play approximately one song on guitar (it’s wonderwall)

brian’s one of those annoying people who can play anything. guitar? no problem. bass? he can slap the fuck out of a bass. piano? sure. voice like an angel, deep and baritone. but his main instrument is totally drums… loves being the driving backbone of the song AND he gets to stress relieve on his crash cymbal! one of the more relaxed/humble drummers out there imo. happy to play whatever but can really shine when he wants to. actually really talented he just never shows off

alex doesn’t play anything (not properly anyway) BUT he had a soundcloud at one point where he made breakcore remixes of his fav songs. but he’d rather die than admit that, it’s long deleted

Set Lists (a Ross Gaines x Joseph Lisgoe fanfic)

This is purely self-indulgent. Nobody asked for a Band!AU, but I love the idea of Drummer!Lisgoe, so we have a band AU!

If you wanna know the name of the song the band is playing, it's Jobseeker by Sealford Mods because the song slaps and I like irony

CONTENT WARNINGS: Smoking and car makeout sessions because that's the life of a rocker innit?

If there was one thing Ross hated about the bar he went to, it was the Open Mic that happened every Thursday night

It had gotten to the point where he was playing mental bingo just to keep his sanity:

"Open Mic Thursdays" set list

A girl screeching her way through My Heart Will Go On

A group of drunk milennials singing ABBA

Some guy with a guitar (bonus points if he plays Wonderwall)

A wannabe rock band

A couple that thinks they’re in a Disney movie

The theatre kid

The one that can actually sing and wants to make it everyone’s problem

The try-hard crooner

So far, he’d managed to tick off almost everything (tonight they had a couple that was particularly gushy and it almost made Ross want to hurl his guts up), and now he was scanning the room for those rock wannabes. It was slightly shameful, the child-like excitement this game gave him, but it was keeping his morale up. And after the day he had at work, it was the least he deserved

And right on cue...

He watched as a group of black-clad 30-somethings took the stage to set up. Surely there’s an age cap on when it’s acceptable to still be in a band was Ross’ immediate thought before turning to his whiskey

Ross could hear a voice through the microphone, but he wasn’t paying too much attention. It wasn’t until the sound of heavy guitar filled the air that he could no longer focus on just his drink due to the sheer noise of it. The joys of live music. Always a racket

What it did mean, however, was that Ross was finally able to see what exactly a bunch of washed-up rockers looked like

"Weird Rock Band" set list

The singer: A slightly weedy guy with shoulder-length hair and glasses who, in all honesty, stuck out like a sad little thumb

The guitarist: Girl in a black bomber jacket and some sort of weird, messy updo; she looked like she’d jumped straight out of an 80s music video

The bassist: Another girl. Undercut, lace button-down and a silver chain. Looked a lot like the drummer, speaking of which...

The drummer: Who was now slamming his drumsticks down on the instrument like it had done something to personally wrong him

If Ross had to pick, and he only ever would if he had a gun to his head, he’d say the drummer was perhaps the most convincing rocker. He certainly had the jewellery, and he had that look of intense anger that was very prevalent in the scene. Ross was slightly ashamed that he could recognise it

Even though he didn’t want to admit it, this band was one of the better ones. Not that it meant much, considering the last time a band performed it ended with the guitarist grabbing a drumstick and volleying it at someone in the back of the pub

In particular, something about the drummer caught Ross’ eye. He’d never seen someone give it the way he did. Despite there being four people on that stage, the drummer was the one clearly pulling focus. And it wasn’t the usual desperate pandering, he was just present in the moment. Ross was slightly concerned that he was going to put a stick through a drum, but at least he was interesting to watch

Well, he wasn’t sure about the rest of the audience, but he was intrigued

The song reached its end and recieved a generally warm atmosphere. Ross' eyes still found themselves on the drummer as he twirled his drumsticks around with his fingers. He'd hardly noticed the singer step forward until he started talking, much to the disappointment of Ross

“We enjoying ourselves!”

I was until you showed up

“I said are we enjoying ourselves!”

Clean out your ears

He spoke a little more, and the people watching were having a good time, but Ross only started really paying attention when he started introducing the band members

"Weird Rock Band" set list 2.0

The singer: Admittedly, even Ross didn’t catch his name. He just wished he’d shut up and finish the song

The guitarist: Ruby Louganis

The bassist: Jodie something

“And of course, last but not least,”

Jesus christ, this is dragging on

“Please give it up for our drummer-“

Can we wrap this up?

"-Mr. Joseph Lisgoe!”

... Joseph

Drummer of a rock band

And his name’s Joseph?

There wasn’t anytime to ponder this though, because the band had started up again, playing another song Ross didn't recognise. Ross went back to his drink, allowing the noise to fade into the background

The band weren’t up for too long, only about two or three songs, before they packed up and went off into the backrooms. Not emerging until a bit later, well, two of them did. The girls. Ruby and Jodie

The closer she was, Ross could really see the resemblance between Jodie and the drummer. It was strange, they looked so alike yet extremely different. Though that could’ve been due to the thick eye makeup she was wearing-

“Show’s over, cunt. Eyes on your glass.”

Damn it

“I was just wondering-“

“Bet you were.”

“Nothing like that! You just looked like your drummer, wondered if there was a genetic reason.”

Jodie gritted her teeth like she was about to launch at him, but was stopped by Ruby placing a hand on her shoulder

“We’ll take your word for it,” she said, zipping up her bomber jacket “Jodie and Joseph are twins.”

“Makes sense. How long have you been playing together?”

“We don’t.” Jodie piped up, still wary of whether she could trust Ross or not “This was just a laugh. I like guitar, he likes drums. Thought ‘fuck it, why not?’ and found out Ruby and Jezza were looking for substitutes. This is a one night only deal.”

Ross nodded and tapped his fingers against his empty glass. For some reason, his mind shifted to the drummer. He always thought twins were attached at the hip

“Does your brother not hang around then? Early night for Little Drummer Boy?”

It came out a lot more condescending than he’d intended, but it got a slight laugh from both of the girls, so at least it eased the tension

“He’s probably outside,” Jodie said “smoking it up-“

“Or having it on with someone.”

“I’ll break his fucking teeth if he is, I’m not staying after hours so he can get a quick shag!”

“And I’m not dragging you off him when the fight breaks out, so get a shot down you and ease up!”

Since Jodie and Ruby seemed to be enjoying their drinks, Ross figured he’d leave them to it. Besides, he needed some fresh air

As Ross approached the side of the pub, he noticed a figure wearing a vest top on the far end. Lanky, cigarette in hand, back against the wall. He couldn’t make out the face until he took a few steps closer

“Can I help you?” Came the figure’s voice, slightly nasal

“I can leave if you want.”

“Nah. Public place, innit?”

Ross leaned against the wall next to him, keeping a slight distance out of respect. Close enough to see the many tattoos that covered his arms, upper chest, and the one on his neck. Usually, Ross thought tattoos were either gross or a desperate attempt to appear intimidating. But he had to admit, the barbed wire that travelled up his arms, the black bird on his neck and what looked like a crack on his chest looked quite good

Obviously, by 'good', he meant objectively speaking

Once he saw the slicked-back hair and the hardened gaze, he recognised who the stranger was

“It’s Joseph, isn’t it?”

“Yup.” He threw the cigarette down and stomped it into the ground “Most people call me Lisgoe.”

“That a stage name?”

Lisgoe gave him an incredulous, amused look

“No. It’s my surname.”

“I’ve never known someone use their surname as a first name before.”

“Puts a boundary up. Helps with my job.”

Right thought Ross he’s not a musician

“I collect debts,” Lisgoe explained, as if he could read Ross’ mind “well, I mainly deal with desk stuff. But I deal with the more difficult targets. Ones that need an extra push.”

Ross thought back to his aggressive drumming and decided that he didn’t want to know how he convinced those ‘difficult targets’

“What?”

Ross snapped out of his thoughts with a soft “hm?”

“You went off somewhere, have you been drinking?”

“What? No! Well, a little, but I can hold my alcohol well. And I never get drunk.”

“Wowee!" Sneered the drummer "We're in the presence of Mother Theresa!"

"Was that necessary?"

"Yeah, I'd say it was."

After that rather snappy altercation, Ross was ready to turn right around and walk off, the only thing that stopped him was the sound of Lisgoe's voice

"You a regular then? At this bar, I mean."

"Yes?"

"No clue how, the drinks are shite and everyone that goes here is a twat."

"Like me?"

That, admittedly, came out as more of an accusation than a legitimate question, and he very nearly asked him to forget it, but that was stopped when he noticed the way Lisgoe was looking at him. As if he was taking the whole of him, really studying him. Reaching into his eyes and grasping his brain, taking it apart with a scalpel to see what was inside

In a word, it was exposing. But not in a creepy way. Ross was frozen in place. Under the watchful eye of Joseph Lisgoe, he felt both anxious and completely at ease. It was a strange feeling, not unpleasant but extremely unorthodox

It was the man's voice that broke him out of his thoughts

"Nah. Well, you seem a little stuck up."

Rude

"And you dress like a secondary school History teacher."

Rude, but annoyingly accurate

"But you're not a twat like most people are." He gestured vaguely with his cigarette "You go to bars and you see all kinds of people. The ones that try to fit in. The ones that think they're God's fucking gift because they don't fit in, the ones that are so desperate to fit in they'll do fucking anything."

"And where do I fit?"

"That's the thing," Lisgoe took a puff of his cigarette "you don't really seem like the kind of guy to fit any of those boxes. You're just... you. You wear your clothes, you drink your beer. And if you don't like the band that's onstage, you don't bother watching. Unless you're making eyes at the drummer."

That last part was accompanied by a playful smirk that made Ross roll his eyes

"I wasn't making eyes at you."

"Would you rather I called it 'gawking' then?"

"I'd rather you didn't exaggerate."

"Whatever," he waved his cigarette dismissively "my point still stands. You don't give a fuck about what people say, you don't seem like the kind of guy that bends to how people think you should act. It's pretty punk."

"I'd hardly call myself a punk."

"You don't look the part, but you're more punk than most twats that wear the badges."

There was something strange about Lisgoe. For someone that spoke so casually, with such a relaxed and colloquial atmosphere, he was strangely philosophical. Contradicting, that's how Ross felt it best to describe Lisgoe

As they stood in silence, Ross' eyes were caught by Lisgoe taking out his cigarette box. Well, for some reason, was specifically watching his hands. Clearly, he wasn't new to this, and his fingers were equally as skilled. That must've been due to his drumming hobby

Why he didn't just look away, Ross didn't know, he can't recognised he was staring until he was pulled out of his trance by Lisgoe's voice

"Did you want one?"

Ross just shook his head, suddenly finding the floor fascinating. Not fascinating enough to stop his eyes from darting over at Lisgoe as he let the cigarette stay in his mouth, stretching his hands down by his sides. The tendons fidgeted as he moved his fingers, bending and shifting in a way that was almost hypnotic

He had rings on. That was how Ross excused his fascination. Silver, some had small black gems, they were quite pretty. Suited him. Suited his hands

Those hands-

"If you want a smoke, I don't mind sharing."

"I was looking at your jewellery."

"Is that right?" Lisgoe's tone was smug and biting, cigarette still in his teeth "Just my jewellery?"

Usually, Ross would just deny it and move on. And he knew he was for the best. But he watched as Lisgoe moved to stand directly in front of him, slowly reaching to take the cigarette out from between his teeth. There was something about the way his canines caught his lower lip as he smiled that caught Ross' attention and refused to let it go

"What else would I be looking at?"

"Dunno," Lisgoe's right hand jolted out to grab Ross' left shoulder, standing in front of him as he brushed his forearm against Ross' throat, causing him to let out a strangled gasp "what else could have your attention?"

Well... this is new

The eye contact between them was thick and glowing like an ember. Ross' eyes darted towards Lisgoe's forearm and he made the mistake of glancing at his shoulder. Because he was instantly met with the sight of Lisgoe's hand tightly gripping it

And that made it incredibly hard to make rational decision

"I'm not a hook-up sort of person," Ross said softly, the way he spoke sounded more like a challenge than anything else "you'll have to do more than push me into a wall to convince me to spend the night with you."

"You may not wanna hook up, but you want something." This was followed by a hand slipping down Ross' back, resting on his ass "Something a little more hands-on?"

"And you're alright with acting like this in public? Where anyone could catch you?"

"No big deal," came the drummer's response as he pulled away, which caused Ross' more disappointment than he cared to admit "part of the fun. But you look like you don't get much of that."

The glare Ross gave him caused him to laugh, and he took another smoke of his cigarette

No fun, is that what you think?

He had the decency to wait for Lisgoe to stop inhaling the smoke before tugging him in by his vest. But, just as their lips brushed, he hesitated. It felt odd. Not bad, not at all. Hell, as he heard Lisgoe exhale the smoke into the tiny space between them, Ross could feel his head spin quite pleasurably. It just wasn't what he was used to, none of it was

Oddly enough, it was as if Lisgoe could read his mind through the web of thought he was tangled in

"Could leave you alone," he said casually "just say the word and I'll fuck off. The others are probably wondering where I am anyway." A pause. As if he were trying to work out how to speak without pushing "Or... if it's publicity you don't like, my apartment's free. Up to you really."

"Logical Things To Say" setlist

"No, I've just met you"

"I have work in the morning"

"This is a very bad idea"

"We could get caught"

"Not very decent, is it?"

Ross opened his mouth and responded with the first thing that came to mind

******************************************

After a long day at work, or a long day anywhere for that matter, Lisgoe often enjoyed sitting in his car, in some secluded area, accompanied only by his thoughts and the radio

This time, however, he was in his car, in some secluded alleyway

The radio off

And his tongue down someone's throat

What a fucking night!

*********************************************

Ross' brain had been yelling at him about his complete lack of dignity as soon as Lisgoe started leading him to his car. It had been somewhat quietened by the feeling of Lisgoe's hand massaging his thigh as he drove, but it didn't leave him alone until the car was stopped and Ross felt his chin being grabbed and his head turned to face the man in the driver's seat

The man he was currently straddling the lap of, in that exact driver's seat

"Making Out With A Guy You Just Met" set list

The buzzing in your stomach at the potential for getting caught, a combination of fear and thrill

Cramped spaces that aren't exactly comfortable, but makes everything feel that much more sensual

Jesus christ, I'm making out with a stranger in the front seat of his car

All of Ross' thoughts came through as static, every time he felt Lisgoe grip at his sides, tug his shirt, run his hands across his bare skin, the static got more intense until his head was completely empty of what had happened and what might happen next. All he could focus on was cold hands on warm skin, the sound of the drummer's breathing becoming more laboured and heavy

He didn't even realise he was making gentle sounds of his own until Lisgoe broke the kiss to tell him in a breathy tone

"You sound so fucking good."

"Do I?"

Lisgoe just nodded as he pulled Ross back in, as if replying simply wasted too much time. Time he wanted to spend completely melting into him, surrounded by the combining scent of cologne and cigarettes. Strange, but somehow added to the thrill. Made it feel more rebellious

"Just realised," Lisgoe muttered against Ross' mouth, unable to pull himself away for more than a few seconds "never got your name."

"Right."

"So what is it?"

"Um, Ross."

As Ross placed a hand on Lisgoe's chest, he could feel the way a chuckle rumbled gently through him

"You didn't sound too sure, that an alias or something? Are you a spy-"

Ross put a stop to the teasing by trailing his lips along Lisgoe's jawline

"It's Ross." He said gently in his ear "Ross Gaines. And I'm an auditor at the job centre, not a spy."

As he kissed down Lisgoe's neck, taking his time as he did with most things, he could hear his saying something under his breath

"Ross Gaines. Ross Gaines."

Each time his name was said, more heat started to pool within him. The way it sounded in Lisgoe's voice wasn't quite something he'd prepared for

"It's fun to say, 'Ross Gaines' all those s sounds." Lisgoe's lips moved to his ear, nipping at the lobe "Ross..." his hand slid up his shirt, digging slightly into his skin "Fuck sake, Ross Gaines," he grabbed the hem of his trousers, moving to undo his belt "you taste so sweet."

The hissing of the sibilance, combined with the feeling of the words hitting his skin, was enough to make Ross slightly dizzy. And the feeling of his belt being unbuckled was not helping his critical reasoning skills in the slightest. The words were bubbling up through his throat, arms wrapped around Lisgoe's neck as pulled him in, as if searching for a way to distract himself. To stop himself from falling off the edge

"Ross-"

"Wait."

Lisgoe pulled his hands away, holding them up like he'd been stopped by police

"You said your apartment was free?"

"I live alone, so I'd be fucking confused if it wasn't."

That made Ross roll his eyes, laughing a little. His hands made their way to cup Lisgoe's face, looking at him with considering eyes

"Do you do this often then?"

"Not as often as people think." Lisgoe answered, his hands on Ross' hips "Yeah, sometimes I like a quick one before I go to bed, but I'm not exactly a hook-up expert. I just get horny." His hands moved slowly up his sides, sending a chill up Ross' spine "You're the first one I've invited back though, I like your company. You're hot as fuck, but you're also easy to talk to. I respect that."

"I thought it was common decency to kick the person out of bed after you're done with them."

That got a gravelly chuckle from the drummer and he let his hand travel to Ross' ass, squeezing roughly

"I like spicing things up every now and then."

"Really?" Ross, in a sudden wave of boldness, leaned in and brushed their lips together "Because I think stalling things would make it quite boring."

The sound of Lisgoe's stuttered breath bounced in Ross' head

"Was... your fucking idea." He replied with a sly smile "You changing your mind, Ross?"

"I'm allowed." He bit Lisgoe's lower lip and god! The low, raspy moan it produced caused his hips to buck, which only drew another groan from the drummer's lips "Any objections, Joseph?"

"Say my name like that again and I won't be able to fucking talk, let alone object!"

There was no more time for set lists

What happens at a sleepover with AGS, Zack, Cloud, and Kunsel?

Sephiroth thinks a sleepover means that sleeping is an instant physical requirement. He is the only one in this vast sea of morons who is bundled up in a sleeping bag with a blindfold trying his best to get some rest while everyone else keeps cackling like a moron.

Genesis instantly gets everyone drunk by spiking the punch. He then subjects them to 90 minutes of pure Loveless info-dumping while everyone covertly plays with their phones.

Angeal has eaten exactly twelve full bags of chips. Of various flavors. He then crinkles them up into compact, merciless little balls and chucks them repeatedly at Genesis while he's in the middle of his Loveless recital.

Zack tries to impress everyone with his mad guitar skills. And after Wonderwall is continuously requested over and over again, he reveals that he actually just knows how to play the first four chords of All Star and that's it. Completely out of tune.

Cloud is the youngest and a sleepy baby on top of everything else. He falls asleep next to Sephiroth and remains there the entire night. Sephiroth doesn't even notice. Genesis gleefully takes the most adorable pictures of them together.

Kunsel got locked in the bathroom. Everyone forgot he was invited.

If you wanna keep doing the summer headcanons, I've got an idea: going camping

hehehehehh goblin laughing thank you so much galaxy brain idea tbh

I'm gonna go with like, roughing it camping, no campers

2-D He's convinced he's going to be stabbed the entire time, super scared in the woods. Murdoc takes advantage of this and scares him with a mask, Courage style (Russel beats him up after don't worry). He's actually the greatest at ghost stories around the fire, though. Like. Scarily good. He can spin the scariest shit out of the most mundane objects- once he made Russel afraid to touch doornobs. Also, he's the one to play Wonderwall on his guitar for no reason- plus he's really good at identifying edible mushrooms for reasons he'd rather not admit

Murdoc Doesn't take it seriously, doesn't help- thinks the whole thing is cheesy and a waste of time. He just kinda gets drunk and trusts the others to babysit him. Once he stuck his hand in the fire trying to light his cigarette, screamed, then ran off. Woke up wearing only his boots 3 miles away from the campsite. Evidently he tried to fight a bear while intoxicated. He won

Russel He's the only one they trust to make the food- and he makes a killer s'more. He's the one who thought of most of the supplies because nobody else seemed worried about it. He makes sure everyone is wearing bug spray, though he had to sit on Ace to get him to wear his. He was grateful later on when he saw Murdoc (who refused. Russel didnt care enough to force him, and he was covered in bites later) though he'd never tell Russel that. He doesn't need to, he knows. But yeah Russ really enjoys camping, even if it's a bit stressful that the responsibility tends to be on him. He enjoys coming across dead animals, finds them interesting. Insists on taking them home in the cooler

Noodle Really loves to explore the woods, likes climbing trees especially. This is really just an opportunity for her to let loose and be a kid for once, and she really takes advantage of it. Loves pitching the tent, likes the puzzle of it, and really loves mimicking animal noises. She's always the saddest to have to go. She's usually the one to push for activities- while Russel is okay chilling at the campsite, Noodle really wants to do things like go hiking or canoeing or anything really

Ace He's a pro at this. His entire childhood was a step down from camping, so this is a breeze. He lowkey scares the other band members with all the weird little tricks he knows and with his willingness to kill a squirrel with his bare teeth. He's the only one that knows how to start a fire without a lighter- heck, he's the only one that doesn't own a lighter. He also tried to fight a bear, but he lost

Ever had a poem or song written about you: funnily enough, yes! in fifth grade, my crush wrote a poem about me called " blue eyes, " which was very sweet and also how i found out everyone thought i had blue eyes instead of green asdfg  

When was the last time you played air guitar: i did the other day bc i was messing around while getting too hyped over some songs :' ))

Who is your celebrity crush?: i have a lot of people i admire, but p.ark j.imin ( and b.t.s as a whole ) is about the only one who is on my mind regularly uvu

What’s a sound you hate; sound you love?: i love the sound of thunderstorms and actually listen to them to go to sleep! i hate the sound of dogs barking or people chewing, but specifically when i'm tired bc i get overstimulated? irritated? very very fast. typically most sounds don't really upset me, though.

Do you believe in ghosts?: unfortunately asdf my sister keeps joking she's got a friendly spirit hanging around her and i believe it tbh 

How about aliens: i don't necessarily believe they're lil green guys, but i do believe there's gotta be life somewhere else. space is too vast for there not to be!

Do you drive?: i'm working on that, but not at the moment.

if so have you ever crashed: nope!

What was the last book you read?: i caught up on j.jk the other day, but i really should pick up something else. i just haven't had much motivation tbh. if we're talking novels, though, i read the time machine for class.

Do you like the smell of gasoline: ...maybe 

What was the last movie you saw?: i watched umma with my mom the other day, and it was pretty good! it's a supernatural horror movie. 

What’s the worst injury you’ve ever had?: i twisted my ankle pretty bad a few years ago. i had to stay off my feet, and if i moved, i had to use crutches. how'd i hurt myself?? took one step onto a trampoline asdfg

Do you have any obsessions right now?: i've had r.esident e.vil 4 on the brain bc of the remake, and i have been thinking about j.jk quite a bit, too. demon slayer is a long-standing hyperfixation ofc :' ) i've also!! been thinking about yubari and other supernatural/fantasy oc's a lot.

[kragehund-est]

i do actually like to teach. i think i'm good at it and i generally have a good amount of patience. here are the actual reasons i don't teach guitar anymore:

not keen on teaching people who don't take me seriously. whole lot of people doubted my abilities because i was young and female. i am not exaggerating, people would tell me as much. i literally had to slam down my trophies and play the hardest licks i know. no one else i worked with had to do this.

it took all the fun out of playing when it was my job to teach. not everyone has this feeling, but i sure do. for some reason, this has only happened for guitar. idk why.

teaching is something i like to do, but not as a primary job. at least, not at this point in my life. i want to be learning more than teaching right now. as a side duty to my regular work it's fine.

shit pay.

not a whole lot of room for growth compared to my other interests (linguistics and biology). it's hard to "make it" teaching guitar.

if i heard smoke on the water / wonderwall / stairway to heaven ever again i was going to kill myself

What’s something they’re expected to enjoy based on their hobbies / profession that they actually dislike / hate?I

f they’re scared, who do they want comfort from? Does this answer change depending on the type of fear?

for the Alan Wake girlies <3

What's something they're expected to enjoy based on their hobbies/profession that they actually dislike/hate?

Navy: Probably the expectations that all musicians love "the classics" like the Beatles and shit bc Navy HATES the Beatles.

Jillian: When it comes to her job working on the docks, there's not really anything that comes to mind, but as a musician, if someone sees her with a guitar and asks her to play a song, especially Wonderwall, she will lose her mind.

Josephine: As a CNA there are obvious things that everyone working in that type of medical setting hates (like. The gross stuff. Cleaning). Otherwise I can't really think of much else, even as a musician.

Lilith: Lilith is a murderer and tormentor like Scratch, so I guess the preparation to cause terror and violence and such.

If they're scared, who do they want comfort from? Does the answer change depending on the type of fear?

Navy: Before his death, TJ, and of course Josephine and Jillian. In the Dark Place, she always finds comfort in Tim and Alan. Even Tom if she's really distressed (but sometimes he makes it worse). If she's scared like, in general, it could be any of the above, but if it's some specific Dark Place shit she wants Alan.

Jillian: Ilmo of course, and Jaakko too. She'll seek out a twin brother hug sandwich from them when she's upset and scared, and she's only really scared of Taken so she also trusts they'll take care of that real quick.

Josephine: Rose!! Rose always knows what to do for Josephine. She'll reassure her in weird ways, but reassure her regardless. In some circumstances, like her irrational fears of losing Rose or something, she'll confide in Saga.

Lilith: Well the only person she has is Scratch, and since she is technically part of him, her instinct would be to cling to him if she were to feel fear. But she doesn't really feel fear.

Thank you for asking!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

[analtyranny]

let’s play gore screaming show, part 5

that got us a relationship point with...kiika?? huh??? maybe kiika also likes the hot nurse and we can bond over that down the road

or she'll just happen to show up that moment. that works too

let's not tell her about the insane brawl...yet?

"nope, don't care"

five guys: haha im stuff kyoji: omg five guys nooo

okay she figures out immediately it was a fight

but kiika already knows him from their old school, so. whew

hey akane's back WITH HOT NURSE

........she doesn't have a portrait. invisible nurse route NEVER

and now we're back home (yamiko is the hot older cousin he lives with now)

so the room's still kinda bare but has SOME personality. i just moved so i know how it is [author’s note: “just” = 10 months ago]

he's gonna sing wonderwall

kyoji just wants to rock the fuck out

[link]

THERE she is, we may not get hot nurse but there's still hot cousin

she's wearing a Denkishiki Karen Ongaku Shuudan (AKA DenKare) shirt. they sing the OP

she'll say this again during the yamiko route won't she

oh my god okay so she used to have a friend who also played guitar and collected monster figures. inch resting

it's digimon, they're all ugly

DREAM WOMAN also the pudding is meat pudding

honestly i get it. ive tried those weird coca-cola flavors for this reason too. space coke was really good. dream coke sucks

that's not a color name

also that makes her kyoji's uhhh first cousin once removed

FUCK YEAHHH yamiko also agrees they probably deserved it, and makes a cryptic comment about how "tomorrow's going to be a long day" but won't elaborate. hmm is...is she the clown

like, in a yuri way, or...

so kyoji's like "yeah everyone thinks kiika's gorgeous" and yamiko's like "oh so you LIKE like her"

m-maybe 😳

no. blue and/or red all the way

this game has a lot of choices, huh? this one’s a pretty blatant "do you want kiika's route yet" choice

[author’s note FROM THE FUTURE: it looks like kyoji brings up whoever you have the most points with? so yeah this scene is a general “just making sure but you DO want this route right” choice]

[colourblue]

the rage I feel growing inside me whenever I see a boy pick up a guitar at a social gathering or party, or like anywhere in public.

[bumbleklee]

college majors (all genshin characters (idk if that’s true anymore it’s been like two months))

diluc

business administration major but only because he’s inheriting his father’s company and wants to know what he’s actually doing.

kaeya

pre-med student due to his parents’ wishes but eventually said “fuck it” and transferred into an art program. his parents aren’t paying anymore but now he can do what he loves <3

thoma

culinary student with a minor in hospitality. this is self explanatory. he wants to be a professional chef, or maybe a private chef. either way, one day he’ll be cooking food for someone. 

zhongli

library science major. super, super niche but he wants to work with museum archives. he probably internships with the university library. 

beidou

albedo

neuroscience with a focus on human development. 

sucrose

the same thing. they’re currently competing for a super high-tech internship. 

childe

a pre-law student. he’s the type of kid that’s so confident, it makes sense that he become a lawyer. he just has to put his brain to work for once. 

yanfei

also pre-law. she’s actually in a lot of childe’s classes and is always complaining that he’s bullshitting his way through the courses. she needs to get a better score on the bar exam than him. needs to. 

yoimiya

hospitality. she wants to be a professional party planner >:3

yae miko

journalism. she probably already is, she has the connections. she definitely did an internship at the new york times.

kazuha

liberal arts major. he wants to be a writer, somehow, someway, and he will get there, maybe. good luck. 

venti

he’s a music major for sure. doing what? who knows. sometimes he stands in the music hall and plays wonderwall by oasis on his guitar until someone joins him. 

xiangling

also a culinary major but she wants to own her own restaurant one day (and she will). determination slays

gorou

he wants to become a veterinarian so he went for animal science. something about dogs really pull him in...

chongyun

tried to apply as an exorcism major (deadass) and was QUICKLY shot down by everyone around him. now he’s a forensics science major but still tries to bring a ouija board to class.

klee

she joins the army. thats all im saying.

barbara

goes to julliard for broadway theater and probably makes it big a few times. imagine rachel berry but without the bitchiness. 

jean

a medical student. she’s currently doing her residency to become an ER doctor.

amber

torn between exercise science and early childhood education. either way, she’s going to be working in a gym. it just depends on what kind.

xinyan

technical music major. she works with soundcloud rappers and is the background guitar riffs on a ton of tracks. she’s the one who joins venti. 

keqing

political science major that definitely is president of an activism club. she kisses her lesbian girlfriend in front of sister cindy and gets slut shamed. 

razor

i am so sorry but he doesn’t get into college.
