MASTERLIST | MY PATREON

The night had been one for the books.

Harry became a Grammy winner for the second time within the first 30 minutes of the ceremony, getting the award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and your heart bursted with joy and pride and you watched him collect it.

He also delivered an amazing performance even though he had a stage malfunction that was out of his control, and after a few minutes of pep talk backstage, you convinced him that he should be proud of what he did no matter what.

Nights like tonight made you look back at your journey with Harry, from getting frustrated each year when the Grammys refused to give One Direction a nomination, to consoling him when his debut single Sign of the Times got overlooked and celebrating when they finally ave him his long overdue nomination for Fine Line. And now, being one of the most nominated artists of the night and a winner already.

Harry was not an artist that let awards or numbers define his career at all, but you knew that deep down he appreciated getting a nod and recognition for the hard work he puts into his music.

"What's on your mind, honey?" Harry asked and he noticed that you had been quiet for a few minutes, the show was on a commercial break so you could talk freely.

"Just thinking about how am I getting a picture with Beyoncé before the night ends," you joked, making him laugh along, "I'm also thinking about the bub, do you think she's okay?"

Harry couldn't help but smile at the mention of your daughter. Little baby Styles had been welcomed into the world a year and a half ago, looking like an exact carbon copy of Harry with curls, dimples and charming green eyes.

It's safe to say that she became Harry's entire world from the moment he saw her for the first time.

"I bet she's fast asleep by now after snuggling with mum for hours," you smiled at the thought, "You know she's obsessed with mum."

"She just loves her nana," you almost cooed, "And her Grammy winner daddy, even tho she doesn't have any idea what that means."

"You know," Harry began, and by the look on his face you knew he was up to no good, "She could become obsessed with her bay brother or sister too, if we decided to give her one."

The smirk on Harry's face after his statement was almost devilish, making you look him with wide eyes and a grin on your own.

"Are you asking me for another baby in the middle of the Grammys?" Harry shrugged, the smirk not leaving his face, "You're a menace. But, maybe if you win, I'll think about it."

Before Harry could reply, the lights dimmed signaling that commercial break was over and it was time for more awards, more specifically, the most important award of the night: Album of the Year.

Trevor Noah, the host, talked about the importance and meaning of the award, the fans the production had invited to support the nominees stood beside him in a line.

You could barely focus on what was being said because your eyes were fixed on Harry's hand gripping yours tightly, and you felt like throwing up from nerves if you looked at the stage.

And the Grammy goes to…” Trevor spoke into the mic, making a dramatic pause that felt way too long and made you finally look up no the stage, noticing that he was standing in front of Reina, Harry's fan.

And that was the moment you knew, the Album of the Year was Harry's House.

“It’s you!” both you ans Jeff whisper-yelled in unison, looking at each other with shocked faces and making Harry give you a confused look.

“What do you-” and before he could even finish his sentence his name was being called out and the trumpets from Music for a Sushi Restaurant filled the place.

Harry immediately covered his face in disbelief, shaking his head and taking in in the moment. You couldn't help but stand up and jump in your place, adrenaline and excitement, but mostly pride, running through your veins.

"My love, you won! Harry's House won!" you said into his ear when he finally wrapped his arms around you, pecking the side of yiur head repeatedly before kissing your lips quickly.

"I love you," was all he said before getting rushed into the stage along with his collaborators and friends.

"Shit!" was the first thing that came out of his mouth once he had his Grammy in hand, making everyone laugh, “I mean,shit! I’ve been so, so inspired by every artist in this category with me. At a lot of different times in my life I listen to everyone in this category when I’m alone,” he took a breath,"I think on nights like tonight, it’s obviously so important for us to remember that there is no such thing as best in music. I don’t think any of us sit in the studio thinking, making decisions based on what is gonna get us one of these.”

You stood with your hands clutched to your chest, your eyes filled with happy tears and nothing but love and admiration for him.

"I'd like to thank my mom and my sister for being my biggest supporters and giving me a great childhood, I would be nowhere without you," he paused to look directly at you from the stage, his eyes immediately watering again, "And of course my beautiful wife, YN. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with me and giving me an amazing daughter who is the reason I do what I do everyday,"

You were unaware of the camera focusing on your and catching the moment you mouthed an 'I love you' to him from your place.

"I love you both so much, you mean the world to me. And YN," he paused, the devilish look from earlier making his way to his face again, along with a teasing raised eyebrow that told you that he was about to do something major, "I want another one."

The entire arena erupted into laughs and cheers, Jeff clapped and whistled from beside you and you couldn't help but cover your face in shock and embarrassment, astonished by Harry's anctics.

"You said, maybe if I won, and I did!" the crowd laughed even more, "I love you, so much. Thank you for this, I'll never forget it."

Harry got off the stage and you met him backstage to congratulate him properly, after a final performance the night came to an end and everyone headed outside the arena to celebrate.

"Do you feel like partying tonight? The label is throwing a celebration but if you feel tired we can skip it," Harry said as you both sat on the back of his Range Rover.

"Honestly, I just want to go home, kiss our baby goodnight and celebrate with my Grammy winner husband in private," you smiled at him teasingly, "Maybe get started on that second baby making."

The smile that appeared on Harry's face after hearing your words was bigger than the one from winning a Grammy.

"Home it is, then."

First Date

word count: 1157 || avg. reading time: 5 mins.

pairing: post-time skip!Sakusa x chubby!Reader

genre: fluff

warnings: implications of xenophobia

When you finally said Yes to a date with Sakusa you had an inkling it would get fancy, but not “five star rooftop restaurant” kind of fancy. The sushi place was hidden, out of sight of tourist attractions and other major travel spots, giving it an air of “if you know, you know”. Sakusa was a regular.

His considerate gesture of sending you a link to the restaurant’s dress code a week before the date, only sent you into a panic spiral. You never owned a dress even close as fancy as was required and even if you had the money to afford one, Japan didn’t exactly cater to a foreigner’s chubby body type. Only after nearly losing your mind did you find a place at the other side of Tokyo that rented dresses that you could barely fit into and with half a month’s rent now clinging uncomfortably to your squishy tummy, you met Sakusa outside your apartment on a Friday night.

“You look gorgeous.”, he said with a small smile, opening the passenger door to his car. With your tongue tucked between your lips for concentration you accepted his hand to help you inside. The dress didn’t exactly allow for much movement.

You chatted about your day at work as he drove and he invited you to his next game before you even reached your destination. He handed his car keys to a valet and offered his arm to lead you inside.

In the elevator you made sure to smooth out any wrinkles in your dress, real or imagined, and gasped when the doors slid open.

The atmosphere was intimate and calm. Over the quiet hum of voices you could just make out the sounds of traditional Japanese music and smartly dressed waiters brought mouthwatering, jaw-droppingly beautiful designed plates of sushi to the tables. Floor to ceiling windows allowed the patrons an unobstructed view of the city lights.

“Sakusa-sama.”, the lady at the reception greeted him with a professional smile, “Welcome. Please follow me.”

You saw her hesitate for a moment when she finally noticed you, but led you to a table in the corner of the restaurant. You held your breath when you sat down, the ride was already a challenge for regular breathing and you had no idea how you were supposed to fit any food inside you with the restrictions of the dress. But you didn’t care when Sakusa smiled at you.

“Thank you for coming.”

“Thank you for inviting me.”, you beamed.

A waiter appeared at the table and said with deeply faked apologetic tones, “I’m very sorry, sir. But it seems we cannot serve you tonight.”

Sakusa raised an eyebrow, then glanced at you, then back to the waiter.

“This is not going to be an issue.”, he said coolly, then turned his attention back to you. But the waiter didn’t leave.

“Sir, we will have to ask you to come back another time.”

“Please explain it to me. We are right on time, we are appropriately dressed and I made reservations.”

“Sir-“

Sakusa glared at him. “Please tell the chef that if he has any issues tonight to come tell me himself.”

And with that the waiter poured some water into the empty glasses before you, bowed and left.

You looked after him thoughtfully and took a sip. It happened before that you were turned away from restaurants due to a “no foreigners” rule, but you didn’t think that such an issue could arise at a place like this.

Sakusa smiled again and steered the conversation back to lighter topics, making you feel at ease within seconds. You were about to inch your hand closer to his when another person came to the table. He was undoubtedly the chef, dressed as he was. The waiter stood a little behind him.

“Sakusa-sama.”, the man in the spotless black uniform began.

“You’re not serious.”, Sakusa couldn’t help but scoff.

“Please understand that we are not able to provide the full service to foreigners.”

“She speaks Japanese.”, Sakusa informed them, “And even if she didn’t, I would translate for her.”

The chef shifted a little, throwing some kind of glance in your direction that you couldn’t quite interpret.

“We won’t be able to accommodate any dietary restrictions, Sakusa-sama.”

“I don’t have any.”, you said with a strained smile.

The chef was quiet and looked at your date imploringly. He held his gaze, then Sakusa quietly pushed back his chair and stood up.

He offered his hand to you.

“Thank you. The water was delicious.”, you said sweetly to the waiter who avoided your eyes.

“I can’t wait to tell everyone about your hospitality at my family’s next gala.”, Sakusa added with a cold smile and gently pulled you along, past a few gawking people to the elevator.

When the doors closed and the sounds of the restaurant disappeared, Sakusa let out a long sigh.

“I’m sorry.”, he said, leaning his back against the paneling, crossing his arms.

“Don’t worry about it. I think that’s about as much exposure as I would ever need to a five star restaurant.”

He chuckled. “The next one will be better, I promise.”

You smiled and went to stand next to him, lightly brushing your shoulder against his to cheer him up. The elevator began its slow descent.

“Bet you can’t wait to get out of that dress.”, he noted, then his eyes widened a moment later, “Wait, I didn’t mean it like that.”

You laughed. “You’re not wrong actually. Breathing does not come as a standard with this one.”

He considered you for a moment.

“Turn around.” He said it gently. More as a question than a demand.

You blinked in confusion, then did as he requested.

“Don’t be alarmed.” He stepped closer, his breath brushing against your neck.

You felt his hands work on the zipper on your back.

“What are you-“, you began feebly, your voice not quite having the grasp on your vocal chords like you would have wished.

He slowly ran the zipper down, the buttons by your nape holding the dress together but you felt the immediate relief around your tummy.

He shrugged off his suit jacket and draped it over your shoulders.

“There. Better?”, he asked. You nodded, your heart still beating too fast to turn around without revealing the intense blush on your cheeks.

The elevator came to a stop and the automatic voice announced you arrived at the lobby.

“Your bra is pretty.”, he said quietly, almost whispering it into your ear as the doors opened.

“You still hungry?”, he asked when the cool night air brushed your faces as you waited for the valet to get his car.

“Starving.”, you admitted.

He grinned. “I know just the place.”

People stared but Sakusa couldn’t care less.

He rolled up the sleeves of his black button down and offered to trade you a chicken nugget for some French fries.

Aziraphale doesn't drink coffee

My friends, it feels obvious now, but I finally managed to put my fingers on what was bothering me about this specific exchange of lines:

If you think about it, this exchange doesn't make sense. Aziraphale says:

"But I… I don't want to go back to Heaven. Where would I get my coffee?"

and the Metatron answers:

"You know, as Supreme Archangel, you would be able to decide who to work with."

What does being able to decide who to work with have anything to do with coffee?

At first, like many of us, I had interpreted the scene as Aziraphale using the coffee as a metaphor for expressing his love for Earth and earthly pleasures, and the Metatron slyly throwing the Crowley's restored angelic status card on the table to force him to change his mind, as if Crowley was the one important thing that could make Aziraphale forget all other things on Earth.

But here's the thing - and I don't know why I never noticed it before: as far as we know, Aziraphale doesn't drink coffee.

If I am not mistaken, there are only three explicit coffee references in the two seasons: the "six shots of espresso," the espresso cup that sits in front of Crowley on the table at the Ritz in s1ep1, and the two mugs in s1ep2 when Aziraphale and Crowley stops at a sort of dining place to discuss how to find the lost Antichrist. Now, unlike with the expresso cup at the Ritz, where we have an above shot that clearly shows traces of coffee, we don't see what's inside the two mugs here. But I don't think Aziraphale's one contains coffe: he's not even aware that caffeine is definitely does not "calm people down," it's very clearly not his thing.

Furthermore, we do know what his things are: little restaurants, sushi, classical music, old bookshops, tea, crepes, French wine… not coffee.

When the Metatron asks him to become Supreme Archangel, he could say "where would I get my sushi?" or "where would I get my books" or "where would I get my records" which is an actual line that he pronounced earlier while talking to Maggie.

Instead he says "coffee."

And then it struck me: Aziraphale is never associated with coffee. But Crowley is.

That's what he's saying, probably unconsciously: when he says "where would I get my coffee?" he's not expressing his love for Earth, he's expressing his love for Crowley.

He could even be doing this without realizing it, as a form of involuntary codification (codification like in Freud's or Matte Blanco's theories of unconscious mind: where something seated deep inside you hooks onto some minor detail outside and starts speaking through your words as if on its own accord). After all, this particular morning, after the emotional strain of the ball, the demonic attack during the night, and the unexpected revelation of Gabriel and Beelzebub relationship, seems to me like the sort of moment in which some amount of brain fog is to be expected, even for an angel.

But the Metatron sees straight through him, possibly even more clearly than he sees through himself, and gives an answer that ignores the superficial codification and address directly the deep meaning. He doesn't say: "as Supreme Archangel you would be able to pop down here whenever you want and have as much coffee as you like." He immediately sees that "where would I get my coffee?" means "how could I be together with Crowley?" and makes his dirty move of dangling the idea of restoring Crowley to his former angelic status in front of Aziraphale's face because he knows that this is the one and only point.

And now I really, really, really hope that in s3 we will see Supreme Archangel Aziraphale sending someone on Earth to get him some coffee - maybe a big cup with six shots of espresso in it and nothing else - and then grabbing the paper cup with a pain, strenght, and desperation that nobody else would understand.

Need bandmates reaction to harry ripping his pants

Leather Pants

A/N: i wrote this so fast lol hope you lovies enjoy! 💚

GENRE: 1dbandmember!yn, married YNrry!

SINCE 2010 masterlist

YN can’t necessarily pick her favorite part of Harry’s shows: to the soft piano introduction for Daydreaming to the crazy beginning of Kiwi. To Harry singing Matilda to walking around to pick some signs to read. It changes every now and then and it’s not until the introduction for Music For A Sushi Restaurant begins to play that she realizes that she dearly missed the sound of the infamous addition of the trumpets on stage.

It never fails to put a smile on her face at the thought of Harry adding trumpets to his songs any chance he gets ever since the whole Olivia fiasco. She remembers how he rambled on and on to her about how 1D’s producers took off the brass instruments from the song after the two spent a great deal of time getting them right. 

Now, the couple dances from their respective spots in the arena to the beautiful, jazzy sound every night he has a show.

Sushi rotates into the number one spot of her favorite part of Love on Tour, especially now as she watches Harry skip over to her side of the stage. He spots her easily as she stands to the wall behind the massive crowd of fans in the pit. He leans down to one knee, head thrown back as the crowd sings back at him. In a blink of an eye, she sees the way he spreads his legs a little too wide and the leather that covers his groin splits apart.

In an instant, YN stops dancing and yells out a oh shit! before covering her mouth in shock. Being the professional that he is, Harry continues the show as he tries to cover his exposed self with his hands and a small towel before settling on a pride flag wrapped around his waist. 

As humorous as it was, she grows worried that Lambert isn’t moving as quickly as he needs to be to help with the wardrobe malfunction. Not that it’s bothering Harry much as he continues to prance around the stage with a bright smile and letting his hands wander over his body.

So with a quick word with her head of security guard, he escorts her down the backstage hallways to his dressing room. They meet Lambert halfway and in an instant, she has an extra pair of brown leather pants in her grasp. Running in her heels certainly isn’t an obstacle for her as she’s quickly making her way down the small gap in between the barricades in the pit. 

It takes a second for the fans to register what’s happening, but soon enough the entire arena is screaming out at the sight of her and begin chanting her name. She quickly ducks under the open flaps of the stage and soon she finds her husband amongst the crew’s set up with his hands clasped in front of his groin, rocking on his heels to his toes as he waits for his stylist to come in. A big smile spreads across his face at the sight of his wife but before he even gets a chance to greet her properly, she’s shoving him into the corner of the small area where there’s a black curtain set up for when he needs to use the restroom. 

He can barely get a word out as she’s quickly untucking the flag around his waist and undoing the buttons of his torn leather pants. She barks out a laugh when he playfully reaches out to undo the buttons of her trousers and it earns him a slap on the hands.

“Oi! Hands off mister.”

“What? Thought that’s what y’came in here for,” He teases as he shimmies out of his pants and grabs the new pair that rests over her shoulder. The smirk on his face only grows wider as she crouches down to gather the pants pooled at his feet. “Certainly looks that way.”

“You’re certainly feeling yourself tonight, huh?” YN smiles warmly at him.

“I feel so fucking good right now. First show of the year, the crowd is insane, first show as a married man, got my fucking gorgeous wife here with me—I don’t think anything can top this.”

“Just wait until we get back to the hotel,” She hums and giggles when he stops zipping up his trousers and gives her a boyish smile. 

“Maybe in the dressing room?”

She reaches around him to finish tucking in his yellow shirt, “Hmm, if yeh don’t rip your pants again.” 

“H, 10 seconds man!” They hear one of the backstage crew members yell from the other side of the curtain. 

In an instant, Harry’s taking her jaw in his hands and leaning down to press his lips to her, taking advantage of her close proximity. She’s quickly reciprocating his love and can feel him smile against her. 

Their honeymoon went by far too fast for their liking and if they weren’t as physically affectionate before, they certainly were now. Fans have noticed this recently as paparazzi pictures (and a handful of fans lucky enough to have witnessed it themselves) capture the way the couple walks the streets with their hands tightly clasped together, Harry’s arm thrown over her shoulder, and YN with her hand in his jacket pocket. Some even show more intimate shots of the happy couple as Harry presses his lips to her temple outside of a small café or as they share a few kisses while sitting on a park bench.

Both of them are having a hard time keeping their hands off of each other—now more than ever before—but do either of them care what the media is saying at the moment? Hell no.

“I love you,” She breathes sweetly against his mouth and he’s this close to canceling the rest of the show and taking her back to his dressing room.

“You’re on, Harry!”

“I love you more.” 

YN can’t help but giggle as he tries to pull away from her because while his legs lead him towards the exit, his hands still cup her jaw as he continues to peck kisses to her lips.

“Go!” She laughs, literally pushing her hands against his chest to encourage him back on stage before she keeps him trapped down all for herself. Her cheeks must be sore by how long the love sick smile has stayed on her face ever since...well, ever since she married the man almost a month ago. Blowing her one final kiss, he’s making his way back out on stage to the excited crowd.

Coming back down to Earth, she gives a sheepish smile to the backstage tour team working underneath the bulk of the main stage. 

“Yeh doing amazing everyone. Keep up the good work,” She compliments the workers, acting like she wasn’t all lovey-dovey with her secret husband moments ago—shamelessly showing more PDA than they ever have before their crew. All of the crew members just give a warm smile back to her and a hand raised letting her know that her compliment is well received. Once YN exits the small area, it’s not long after that chatter passes around the tour team—and eventually their fanbases—about the couple’s undeniable and genuine love they have for each other.

Marauders’ House !

“Music for a Sushi Restaurant” is the opening song to The Marauders' third studio album, Marauders' House. In a combination of smooth jazz and freaky ‘70s pop, Potter (writer of the song) sings about making sushi while relating it to his desire for a relationship. In a May 2022 interview in The Valkyries podcast, the lead singer revealed the story behind the funky song:

"I was in a sushi restaurant in LA with someone and one of our songs came on from the last album, and the person I was with pointed out that it was a "weird song for a sushi restaurant" which obviously lead to an argument and ended on this perfect song for "those type of restaurants".

see the lyrics of the song here.

— Jegulus au. 676 words. no tw. Based on MFASR by Harry Styles.

"Hey!" exclaimed James excitedly, tapping Regulus’s outstretched hand to get his attention "Do you hear that, baby? They’re playing Canyon Moon!"

At Regulus' request, both had decided to go out for dinner. Regulus hadn’t stopped talking for weeks about a restaurant he had visited with Dorcas, and finally after so much insistence, he had managed to drag James to a round table in the far corner of that tiny restaurant. 

James will never admit it out loud, because it would feed her boyfriend’s obsession, but he too had fallen in love with the place the second he put his foot in it. "I hear it, yes," Regulus replied, rolling his eyes without looking away from the posters hanging from the ceiling, apparently today’s menu, as the waitress explained, "Sirius couldn’t be more obvious, "Canyon Moon"?"

Quick pause in conversation

He plays songs I've never heard

An old lover's hippie music

Pretends not to know the words

And I keep thinking back to

A time under the canyon moon

After singing quietly along, James laughed while leaning on the table, glancing at the ceiling to look at the menu himself, "When has Sirius been subtle?" 

“Touché” said Regulus, making James whisper “hot” under his breath right before the waitress came to their table to take their orders. 

After the sweet lady left, Regulus looked around checking the restaurant before leaning on the table to whisper to James “To be honest, I don’t think this is a fitting song for this type of restaurant” An offended gasp left James’ lips, and he smacked Regulus’ shoulder gently. 

“How very dare you”

“You’re gonna tell me that I’m wrong?”

“Of course, our songs fit into any sort of environment”

“Yeah, no, I don’t think so” a bratty tone tint Regulus words, leaning onto the back of his chair, crossing his arms with a small smile on the corner of his lips. 

“You’re mean” 

“I just pointed out a fact. Not every song you guys do fit anywhere, especially not this little and pretty restaurant, it’s a weird song for a sushi restaurant”

“I bet I can change your mind with a song. In fact, I will write a song that fits this restaurant so well that you’ll be embarrassed by what you just said”

“Oh will you now?”

“Hell yeah, before our food comes, I will have the perfect song”

Regulus laughed a bit too hard for that, giving James the perfect view of his pale collarbones under that slim t-shirt. James arched an eyebrow, ready to challenge his boyfriend’s attitude, 

“You don’t think I can do that?”

"Of course I don’t think you can write a song before our food comes" said Regulus with a witty tone, sharing a small smile with James who looked too cocky by now.

"Is that a challenge, my love?"

"You bet it is" a cheeky smile spread across Regulus' face. James felt his heart racing. 

So, for a whole half hour, James kept writing and re-writing a whole song he finishes five seconds before they have their food on the table. And when he shares the lyrics with his boyfriend, the only comment Regulus says is:

"You have the imagination of a three-year-old”.

Two months later, James was in the studio recording "Music For a Sushi Restaurant", with Remus' bass track in the background and the background vocals recorded before by Sirius and Peter complementing his vocals in the chorus. Regulus’s laughter penetrated his track even from outside the booth, making James smile broadly at Sirius grimaced.

If the stars were edible

And our hearts were never full

Could we live with just a taste?

Just taste

It’s 'cause I love you, babe

In every kind of way

Just a little taste

Know I love you, babe

Not even the high volume of the trumpets dampened the scandalous cry of Sirius, who pounced on the microphone of their producer. 

"We are so over, James Potter!" 

Regulus smacked his brother on the side, starting a nasty sibling fist fight. 

James never felt so alive.

Music for a Sushi Restaurant

To me, in Music for a Sushi Restaurant Harry says the music industry is fickle and Harry and his muse should not shelve a real romantic partnership for fame. The music video shows Harry is a squid siren who becomes a star attraction in a restaurant as long as he can sing. When his voice fails the industry turns on him and he becomes sushi.

Harry told NPR:

"I was in a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles with my producer and one of our songs came on from the last album, and kind of said like this is really strange music for a sushi restaurant. And then I was like – that would be a really fun album title, but then as the song started being made I kind of just set on Music for a Sushi Restaurant."

To Zane Lowe Harry said that

You put so much love into an industry that is so fickle, that if you're doing well it loves you back, but if you aren't then you're just out. It's understandable for it to be really scary to go away and have no one talking about me, no one cares, I have to go onto social media and remind people I am alive.

He spoke thinking about who he is without fame, needing to find something else to make you happy. He said the best people, 'the unicorns of music' do it and then they are gone, when they come back it matters.

Lyrics

Ba, ba-ba Ba-ba, ba-ba Green eyes, fried rice I could cook an egg on you Late night, game time Coffee on the stove, yeah You're sweet ice cream But you could use a Flake or two Blue bubblegum twisted 'round your tongue

The first verse mixes food references and innuendo. Harry comments his green eyes seeing that this muse is hot.

They have a late night game time is late night making out. Along with a reference to late night coffee, similar to You are in Love, "Coffee at midnight."

To me, the last 3 lines are innuendo for... 'watermelon sugar'. A flake is a chocolate bar that is served in soft serve ice cream. Ahem... 'this is a family blog post'.

I don't want you to get lost I don't want you to go broke I want you It's 'cause I love you, babe In every kind of way Just a little taste Know I love you, babe Ba, ba-ba Ba-ba, ba-ba (You know I love you, babe) Ba, ba-ba Ba-ba, ba-ba

Music for a sushi restaurant explores Harry's relationships in the context of his and his muses Music careers. The muse is someone who's livelihood (going broke) is at risk by dating Harry. Something Taylor has also sung about in Suburban Legends and Slut! In Now that we don't talk "I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost"

In line with the theme of “pay for it” suburban legends says Taylor didn’t come for love and it cost her reputation and bullying from fans and media. Harry is saying he cares more about being together, he doesn’t think they have to choose between career and love.

Excuse me, green tea Music for a sushi restaurant From ice on rice Scuba-duba-do-boo-boo Music for a sushi restaurant Music for a sushi restaurant Music for whatever you want Scuba-duba-do-boo-boo

The line 'Music for whatever you want' to me is a comment that Harry's music has commodified his innermost feelings and in the end they are not treated with care. When talking about the song Harry has said the title came from hearing one of his songs in a Sushi restaurant, implying it was the wrong song/setting pairing. Harry curates his tight discography carefully. To me, verse is sets a chaotic scene of the sushi restaurant where something from Fine Line being used as background music.

I'm not going to get lost I'm not going to go broke Staying cool

In the first pre-chorus he didn't want his love to go broke, (who is seemingly also in the music industry) presumably as he was entertaining giving up his own career to be with his partner, as he has in past songs like "If I could Fly". But now in the second pre-chorus he also won't give up on his love, or go broke himself. Harry is saying they can stay cool and chose both.

He's also cool in Suburban Legends "Flush with the currency of cool" and Gorgeous: "You’re so cool, it makes me hate you so much"

If the stars were edible And our hearts were never full Could we live with just a taste? Just a taste

In 'If I could fly' and Taylors 'The Lakes' they have both sung about giving up their careers to be with their muse. To me the bridge in Sushi is saying, what if they never had enough of being famous, can they just have both? Can they live with just a taste of real love.

He asks if they can live with just a taste of their love, can they get by with only small doses of time together. This is the same idea as JALBOYH's "Just a little bit of your heart x2 / Just a little bit of your heart is all I want"

Alright.

I h a v e to know what Padak is about XD

Oh... Oh you sweet summer child, you don't know?

Well I'm glad I can tell you instead of you like, stumbling on this movie and having all of it jump out at you XD

Ok ok, I genuinely love this film and I'll admit, I really want to take a moment to geek out about it. But that would involve in me getting into spoiler territory. So, in case you decide to look for this film yourself, I'll just give you the generalized story here.

The movie is about a lone mackerel, later in the film named Padak for trying to 'padak padak her way to her death' (she jumped out of the tank and was flip flopping on the ground. I'm guessing Padak is Korean for Flip-Flop? It's a good thing this film wasn't Australian, or else she'd be named Thong. I'm sorry) is fished out of the sea and dropped into a tank at a local restaurant, and has to escape back to home, all while trying to convince her new tank-mates to escape with her. Simple plot, right? Well... Here's a quote from the YouTube review that introduced me to Padak that pretty much sums up the whole movie perfectly.

"Imagine if you took the fish tank setting from Finding Nemo and mixed it with the graphic violence from Watership Down, drizzled it in the depressing tone of Plague Dogs, and gave it a garnish of that sushi scene from The Isle of Dogs. That's basically this film on a plate."

Steve Reveiws, Padak

Now, why is the sushi scene prevalent? Because this film takes place in a Korean restaurant where their food is as fresh as possible. Meaning that the fish are prepared and even eaten while still alive. And this film pulls zero punches in showing the horrors of this kind of delicacy (no, I'm serious. A fish is literally cut up and dissected on screen. This movie takes off the kid gloves and throws them in the God damn incinerator). So yeah, there are a lot of images in this film that will be upsetting to veiwers. But this film isn't gorey just for the sake of gore. It tells a genuinely very sad story and will wring out emotions from your heart, and can also be breathtaking with its musical and 2D animated segments.

I'd recommend checking out this reveiw before trying to find the film, though. Even if watching a reveiw is not at all like watching the movie, this guy does censor some of the more extreme gore (like the scene I mentioned above). He doesn't censor all of it, but I think this video is still the best introduction to this movie.

However, if you want to check out the movie, I could only find it on this website https://online.potlockermovies.com/full-movie/padak/ it's free, and it does have English subtitles (the movie doesn't have an English dub), but there are a lot if pop up adds and it's probably going to get frustrating clicking off of them, but this site was still the best I could find to watch Padak.

It's interesting to note that this film does not go in the direction you might expect it to. If it weren't for the fact that I had watched the video above before the movie itself, I would have been just as shocked with how it ended and what happened to our characters as Steve was. But at the same time, the film does establish right away that it's going for more... For lack of a better term, realistic approach. So although the film goes in an unexpected direction, it's also hard to say that it cheated you out of your time to view it.

Again, to try to keep this as spoiler free as possible, I'm only going to sum up the third act in lyrics from the last song of the movie that speaks mountains once you realize it.

Destiny tricks us like fools.

He also gives off a kind of viscious cunning vibe in the movie? Like he's the second in command character that's a bit of a bastard. I think you might like him if you watch this movie. And the old Flatfish who is 'The Master' of the tank.

Oh yeah also, there's this eel (who I think is named Anago? Or Jooldom? His name is never mentioned in the film, however the video above calls him Jooldom, and I've seen people on this site argue his name is meant to be Anago. There isn't much information for this movie online, unfortunately.) who everyone wants to become the next tumblr sexyman. All because of his voice. To be fair, it is a nice voice.

high infidelity | twenty five

You’re the king baby, I’m your queen. *Noah’s POV* “So where are you taking me?” I looked over at Ellie and just smirked, not daring to tell her where we were going. I kept my eyes on her for a little longer than I expected, I couldn’t help myself. She had her hair in a sleeked back ponytail, black ripped skinny jeans, white tank top and her signature checkered vans. The past 24 hours with her have been absolute heaven. My home has been such a safe space for me and having her in it made it feel complete finally. She was so patient and understanding with me last night and I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. Sex with her felt like a drug I wanted to use for the rest of my life. Between last night, this morning and fucking her quickly in the shower before we left the house, I still couldn’t get enough of her right now.

“I’m not telling you.” I replied as I backed out of my driveway and headed down the street. She crossed her arms and I could feel her eyes on me. “Great, I’m gonna end up on the news. Newsflash, Canadian women missing in the Hollywood Hills.” I was having a hard time holding my laughter back at how dramatic she was being, “do you really think I’m taking you somewhere to murder you?” “I don’t know, Noah Sebastian…are you?” She sarcastically replied. “Ok fine, I’ll ruin the surprise. I wanted to order from my favourite sushi place, and take you to my favourite spot in the city to have a little picnic. I figured since most of our time has been taken up with my shows, we deserved another quiet night together before you leave.” 

She leaned over the console and kissed my cheek, almost making me run through a red light.“That sounds great. I’m sorry for accusing you of murder.” “I am capable of it but I’ll save it for another day.” I winked. She just rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand as she looked out the window. I felt my heart skip a beat over how happy I was feeling right now. The windows were down, music was playing, and the sun was shining, making Ellie’s dark hair shine. I don’t think it could get better than this.

We left the restaurant with enough sushi to feed an army and headed over to White Point beach. This place was so special to me for so many reasons. I got a lot of my writing for the death of peace of mind done here and it was just my escape from the pandemic. It was the one place I actually felt my nervous system calm down. I’ve tried chasing that feeling elsewhere and honestly, I never found it until I met Ellie. “Wow…Noah.” Ellie paused, putting her hand over her mouth as she admired the view in front of her. I wasn’t sure what her reaction would be since she was also surrounded by beaches and mountains at home but she still looked awestruck. The beach had a hill that towered over everything, giving you the perfect view of the ocean and an even better view of the sunset. “This is my hiding spot.” I replied turning off the car and locking my fingers with Ellie’s. “I’ve never shown anyone this spot. This place has given me more peace than therapy ever has. I just wanted to show you it cause … well because you give me the feeling this place does.” “Noah…” She whispered as tears filled her eyes. She took her seatbelt off and grabbed me by the back of my neck, guiding me to kiss her. I pressed my mouth to hers, wrapping my hand around her throat the longer we kissed. The kisses were so soft and gentle, giving me time to taste the strawberry flavour from Ellie’s lip gloss. We pulled away and she smiled so sweetly at me, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I just sighed deeply, this girl was something else.

I came prepared and grabbed blankets, a cooler and hoodies out of the trunk before we headed over to the beach. Ellie raised her eyebrows at me as I walked past her and found my normal spot was free. I laid the blanket down, Ellie put our food down and sat beside me. I pulled out two white claws, giving one to her as we dove into our food. “Who knew you were such a romantic.” Ellie smiled before taking a bite of her sushi. “This is better than any expensive restaurant.” “Good, I’m glad.” I replied, not taking my eyes off her. “That’s one of the biggest reasons why I love you.” She face flushed a little as she met my gaze, “what do you mean?” “I guess what I’m trying to say is that, you’re probably the first woman I’ve ever won over by being myself. You don’t have unrealistic expectations because of who I am, so I never felt like I needed to hide behind a mask.” I stuttered a little near the end, I was trying to tread lightly and not offend her by any means. “Noah, I fell for you because of your heart, and who are you are as a person off stage. Your band, your success, any money you make from all this comes secondary. Sure I met you because of your band but in another life if I just met you on the street and didn’t know who you were, I’d still be here ridiculously in love with you.” “Ridiculously huh?” I joked, nudging her arm. She smiled at me as I got closer to her, caressing her cheek and kissing her again. I couldn’t stop myself from wanting to be all over her right now. Not even in a sexual way, just affectionally. My heart felt like it was going to burst because of her. “I love you Ellie.” “I love you more.” After we finished our food, we got cozy and watched the sunset together. The sky was so beautiful and reminded me of cotton candy with the shades of pink and blue. Ellie was nuzzled against my chest, listening to the sounds of seagulls in the distance along with the sound of each other’s heartbeats. I didn’t want this night to be over. The sun began to disappear and the sky glowed a dark blue, all I could see was Ellie’s bright eyes piercing through the darkness. As we got to the car, my phone buzzed in my pocket and I pulled it out, it was Jolly. “Hey man, we’re thinking of hitting up the pier in 30. Last night for Matt, both Nicks and Bryan in town. You two want to come?” “Hey Ellie do you want to head to the pier?” She just nods, polishing off her white claw before getting into the car. I pouted a little bit hoping she’d just want to go home, but this could be fun as well. I should also be thankful my friends love her as much as I do and want to include her in things. Before I got in the car I went to text Jolly back but I opened my conversation to Nick, taking a deep breath before I started typing. “I wanna marry this girl.”

After Hours - Pt. 2

pt.1

A week had gone by and Colleague was still giving Civilian a daily coffee. After two weeks, civilian started baking treats for Colleague in return. In fact, sunday had become “baking night” for them. After Civilians first cookie drop —that’s what they called them— Colleague had left a note the next time he gave Civilian their coffee. This turned into full blown conversations between the two.

Civilian now stared at the yellow sticky note attached to their latest coffee cup.

Join me for lunch? It read in swirly cursive handwriting.

Holy. Crap. Lunch? He wants lunch. With me?? Civilian was baffled. Sure they’d grown very fond of Colleague. But lunch? That was a whole other playing field. There was deciding what to eat, of course. And then the matter of paying and conversation. Civilian could make it totally awkward and then Colleague would feel uncomfortable. They’d probably regret asking and the only joy Civilian found in this dreary office would be gone. Before their thoughts could run any farther, Colleague appeared at their desk. They stole a glance at there watch and holy crap it’s already lunchtime?

Civilian looked up at Colleague. He raised an eyebrow expectantly, “Ready?”

I guess it wasn’t a question

Civilian nodded and stood from their desk —gathering their things.

—

Civilian was in Colleagues car. His car. This was crazy. I mean, they hardly knew the man! They felt so awkward and like their heart was going to beat right out of their chest at any moment. Then Colleague spoke.

“So”, He glanced over at Civilian. “Any preferences?”

Colleagues voice was silky smooth like music to Civilians ears. They could hardly think, really. “Umm, no. Not really…”

“None at all? What about sushi?”

Civilian scrunched their nose almost subconsciously.

Colleague let out a light chuckle, “I’ll take that as a ‘No’”

Civilians face flushed pink with embarrassment and then fumbled with their fingers. “Um, I know this really good sandwich shop.”, It was almost a question and for a second Civilian wondered if they had even been heard.

“Where’s it at?”

“Up on twelfth street.”

Colleague smiled, “Sandwich’s it is.”

—

They arrived at the sandwich shop shorty. Before Civilian could even unbuckle, Colleague had made it to their side of the car and opened the door for them. Oh my.

“And they say chivalry is dead.”

Colleague laughed at that, placing his hand on the small of Civilians back and leading them to the door of the restaurant. They were sat by the waitstaff and ordered fairly quickly. Things were going surprisingly well and Colleague even ordered a sandwich Civilian recommended.

“Civilian.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t think I’ve ever heard you call me by my name. It’s always ‘Mr’ with you.” Colleague cocked his head slightly and a lock of his dark hair fell in front of his forehead. How boyish.

“Well, I guess I just seem to be on the professional side. A corporate prude, if you will.”

Colleague smiled again. Gosh— that smile. “Do you… know my name?”

Civilian averted their gaze, “Umm, well.” They sighed and looked back at Colleague, “If I’m being honest… no.”

“Ahh I see. That’s ok, you can call me -Civilian Name-“

Before Civilian could respond, their waiter came and gave them their food. They decided to take a bite of their sandwich to avoid further conversation. They felt bad for not knowing Colleagues name.

“Civilian.”

“Hm?”

“This sandwich is absolutely delicious.”

Civilian couldn’t help the smile that spread across their face.

—

Another week went by and Colleague and Civilian were still making their exchanges. Their co-workers had long noticed and Civilian couldn’t help but feel embarrassed whenever they heard gossip about the two. They really tried to pay the others no attention but it was hard. Especially when they had gone to such lengths to avoid their co-workers. A dozen prying eyes followed Civilian as they left the office. They also worried about the things that were being said about them. It doesn’t help that they had never talked to the others or tried to at least be acquainted with them. However, Civilian didn’t blame them. Nothing interesting happened around the office. Like, ever. So, when the opportunity arises, of course the others are going to talk. It’s basically free entertainment. Something a little juicy to keep them going throughout the day. Civilian stepped out of the elevator and began their walk home. Perks of living in a big city: it’s walkable. They really liked walking so it wasn’t too big a deal. Especially after being cooped up in an office all day everyday. Before going home, Civilian decided to stop and get take out. After all, the groceries in their fridge were scarce and they were really craving some Chinese.

The sun had long set and finally civilian was on the last stretch to their apartment. They just had two more blocks to their home and then they could finally relax. Civilian had gotten to an alley and was walking past when something caught their attention.

Slam

They stopped.

Another slam and a scream

What the heck

Everything in Civilians body screamed at them to keep walking. This didn’t pertain to them and it wasn’t any of their business. However, curiosity killed the cat. They set their precious Chinese take out Down and slowly back tracked towards the alleyway. Spotting a garbage can, they decided this would be a sufficient hiding spot. Civilian couldn’t see very much of what was going on but could hear almost everything. They could hear punches being thrown and prayed that what they heard wasn’t blood splattering against the concrete. This was so stupid. What were they gonna do anyway? Fight some random guy?? He clearly had some experience fighting. Civilian peaked their head around the trash can to steel one more glance at the action. Sh*t. Was that villain?? The Villain. The cities most dangerous and feared individual?? Civilian was an idiot indeed. They decided now was the time to get out of there. SLAM. Before the could even move— a body landed right beside them with a wheeze.

THUNK

THUNK

THUNK

Oh no

Villain was slowly walking toward Civilians hiding spot. Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t. They curled up against the wall as much as they could. Foolish as it was, Civilian hoped that maybe, just maybe, Villain wouldn’t notice them.

They were wrong, of course.

Before they could even think, they were slammed up against the wall. Their feet dangled off the ground and hot pain spread all throughout their body. Villains grip on their arms strong and unrelenting.

“Mind telling me why you’re here and who you work for, sweetheart?” Villain crooned

His voice silky smooth. Like music.

Civilian couldn’t breath. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t do anything. They were panicking. Villain pressed them harder when he got no answer. All Civilian could do was whimper and try not to burst into tears. He let one hand grip Civilians chin and forced them to look at him.

“Open your eyes, sweetheart.”

Civilians heart beat impossibly fast. They opened their eyes and tried not to let tears fall down their cheeks. Villain squinted at them. Amongst their panic, Civilian couldn’t help feel a sort of familiarity about Villain. His dark hair, his eyes, the way his voice ran like velvet in their ears.

“Sh*t.” , Villain mumbled.

Civilians eyes widened, “-Civilian Name-?”

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

I hope this makes sense 🗿

If the naming of colleague/villain got confusing basically: Civilian refers to him as colleague in their head and they don’t know he’s a villain until the very end. “Civilian name” is just that. It’s his civilian name… or at least the one he goes by.

Anyway, thanks for reading 🥴 I can’t tell if I like it or not. I like it in my head but putting it on paper (or online) the way I want is annoyingly tricky.

I Have Been Playing With A Superstar Chapter 6

Sitting around with the boys and enjoying the chinese food they ordered, everyone seemed to be getting really close. Han and Felix were glued to your sides as the three of you sat on the floor. Mini sat on the couch with Lee Know, the two seemed to really get along together looking to becoming fast best friends. And Hyunjin on her other side which you knew was heaven for her as he was her bias, something you and Felix looked at each other and giggled about when Hyunjin first sat next to Mini. 

Of course you told him her bias when you told him how she got you into their group, sending you gifs of each member with a small one line description for the first three which happened to be Hyunjin, Felix and Chan, before just sending a gif and a name for the other boys and then told you to pick a bias. Not even getting you to listen to the music first or anything just photos and a name. 

Seungmin and I.N were on the arms of the couch, Chan and Changbin had pulled up chairs and completed the circle. 

Changbin was telling a story from earlier in this trip where Seungmin and Han were getting into some crazy shenanigans or something you weren't sure, not completely paying attention at the moment. Instead having most of your attention on trying to use the chopsticks to eat, as never having really learned how to do that properly and usually having some kind of a struggle while trying to eat with them. 

Unlike Mini who from the times you’ve ever had sushi or gone to a raman restaurant never seemed to have a struggle. 

So utterly focused on trying to grab the piece of chicken you were trying to eat you didn’t notice how slowly one by one everyone had turned to focus on you and watching you struggle. Han, Seungmin, I.N, Mini and Changbin all start to quietly giggle as you continue to struggle, Felix wants to help but isn’t sure if you would want and accept help especially since everyone is watching you now and about half are laughing at you. 

“Ahha!” you cheer, finally keeping a hold on the chicken and quickly popping it into your mouth before it would fall from the chopsticks. The proud smile on your face slowly falls as you finally notice that everyone is staring at you and about half are laughing. Swallowing you give a pout “what?” you ask looking at each one “yes I’m not very versatile in the art of chopsticks, i’m used to using forks as i do live in a North American country” you cross your arms as you say to everyone. Felix gives you a pat on the back “it’s okay and here i’ll show you how to hold them to grab food” he said, and proceeded to show you how to hold on to the chopsticks to grab and hold onto your food. “Ahh why you gotta do that Felix it was cute the way she struggled” Changbin said which brought a blush to your face in both embarrassment and that fact that the fastest rapper in all of k-pop just called you cute. 

“Yeah and it was hilarious to watch” added in I.N, to which you just stuck your tongue out at him like a petulant child. “Would you like a fork instead?” asked Chan, understanding the predicament of your honest response to all of them watching you struggle to eat with utensils you are not used to using very often. “I’m okay thank you Chan. I'll try it for a little longer with the way Felix is showing me before I really give up” you told him with a smile. He just nodded and pulled out a fork from the takeout bag and sat it in front of you for if you wanted it. 

Finished eating everyone counted to tell stories about each other till the door opened and the boys manager stepped in “it’s almost time to let the fans in, the girls need to go back to the main area so there are no stories about them” he told the group. Han let out a loud whine, grabbing on to you and pulling you into his lap in a tight hold “do they have to can’t they stay back here till we have to go” he pleaded “Han the girls will want to see the show from their seats we will see them again later” Chan told Han. Han refused to let go, even tightening his grip on you. You were a blushing laughing mess and Mini was laughing at you as well. It wasn’t until Lee Know got up and walked behind Han that Changbin also got up and stood in front of you and Han, when all of a sudden Han let out a loud screech and released his grip on you as he also jumped and tried to twist around to behind him where Lee know was jabbing into his sides. 

As Han tossed you forward when he jumped and turned to face Lee Know, Changbin caught you and pulled you to his chest as he backed the two of you away from the other two as Han was now trying to get his revenge on Lee Know. Once Changbin seemed to deem that you two were a safe distance from the other two did he set you on your feet. You looked up at him for a minute before Mini grabbed you by the arm and started to walk you to the door “thanks Changbin and Lee Know for the save and Felix message later and it was nice to meet you all” you call out as mini also calls out her goodbye as you both follow their manager out and to the lobby to go find your seats to watch the concert. 

As the concert ended you and Mini screamed goodbye with the rest of the crowd and your sure mini also can taste blood in her throat from tearing your throats raw from screaming at the top of both your lungs the whole time. The two of you waited for things to clear up a bit knowing the fight to get out of here was going to be a long one since you have front row seats. You hear mini’s phone go off and look at her questioningly as to who is texting her and she shows you it’s Lee Know asking her how she liked the concert and for feedback. You laugh not even sure when they traded numbers and then heard and felt your own phone go off rapid fire with multiple notifications. Pulling out your own phone you see both Felix and Han have sent you messages asking the same thing. Laughing and showing Mini she laughs too and you both settle into telling the boys what you thought of the show. 

Finally walking out of the concert hall and into the lobby the two of you were so excited for the next time you got to hang out with the guys before they left.
