#hoo boy. fun stuff

[edwinisms]

you ever think about how edwin got like. no warning, no time time to process, nothing, when he reappeared on earth faced with the fact that virtually everyone he knew in life is dead. his parents? probably died in the 1950s or so (at best) almost forty years prior to edwin’s return. if any of his classmates were still around, they’d have been elderly, possibly senile, and in a few years they’d all be gone– except, of course, edwin. nothing looks the same, cars look like spaceships, there actually are spaceships, he can no longer see the stars, and everyone he knew is dead.

Babysitting

Nico, walking into the bathroom: Wow.

Jason, in the bath: Don’t judge us.

Nico: Kinda hard not to. What’re you two doing?

Percy innocently, pointing to Estelle on the floor: Giving the baby a bath.

Nico: Then why isn’t she in the bath?

Percy: Because I’m in here, Jason’s in here -

Jason, holding up his boat: And with all these toys, there isn’t any room for her.

Just finished my personal UTY true pacifist playthrough and streamed it to my frens. my qpp cried. good day

[feline-evil]

Do we ever see The Fury at all outside of his boss fight (not including like in photographs), i don't think we do or at least i don't remember him in any cutscene where we see members of the cobras together The Pain and The Fear do their cute lil team thing right at the start, those two are bros, but what about The Fury; did he just suck to be around, did nobody wanna chill with him on the team? Was the helmet, did it make him feel unapproachable, or was it the fire thing, the like constant fire flying everywhere thing?

[prettydaisygirl]

hey!

i'm so in love with your streamer James, so i was thinking if you could do somenthing where James discovers that reader likes other streamers besides him, or maybe has an hyperfixtation and doesn't receive that much of attetion, how would he react? offended, jealous, sad? (in a funny way, i don't want to hurt my baby boy)

btw, i love your writing, so if you do this, tysm!

hope your okay! 🩷

heyyyy bestie :) Thanks for requesting this, I'm sorry it's been a while since you requested but obvi we had the celebration and that was fun too. Hope this is kind of what you were looking for, it got away from me a bit. <3

streamer!James Potter x fem!superfan!reader who finds a new streamer ✿ 1.4k words

cw: fem reader, established relationship, mentions of James and Lily (previous), a hint of wolfstar

°˖✧✿✧˖°

previous part

James can see the moment he loses your attention, not that he was truly focused on keeping it. The two of you are snuggled together in his bed, him playing Minecraft with the marauders and you’re on your phone. You’re sitting between his legs with your back to his chest, and it’s when he feels your back shake from little giggles that he knows he’s lost you.

“What are you giggling at, hmm?” He asks, placing one final block down before nuzzling his nose into the side of your head. He presses a kiss to your hair and ignores the sounds of protest in his ear from his friends. You squirm a bit from the affection before settling back against him. 

“Just this new streamer I’ve been watching.” You say, like it’s a casual thing and you haven’t been cheating on him by watching someone else. 

“Hey, woah!” James sits up abruptly, jostling you in his lap. His controller falls to the comforter below the two of you, and this time he can’t hear the yelling of his friends because he slides his headphones off. His hand grabs your phone, and he sees your eyes widen when he does. “You can’t watch another streamer, that’s cheating!”

You give him a look and roll your eyes, even though you know he’s just teasing. “I watch the other Marauders all the time!”

“That’s not the same!” Your boyfriend argues, holding the phone above his head. “Now tell me, who is this other streamer that has stolen your heart and taken you away from me?”

The corner of your lip parks up and you raise your brows. You’re used to his dramatics, but James doesn’t back down. He mimics your look, raising his own brows. You scoff.

“James.” He shakes his head, then gestures to the phone in his hand, waiting for your answer.

“Who is it?” James’ voice is playfully tense, the spark in his eyes shining bright and giving away that he isn’t serious. Or at least, not entirely.

“It’s just this gamer girl,” You say, but his dramatics don't budge.

“You’re committing adultery with a gamer girl?!” He’s practically clutching his pearls.

“James, it’s not adultery. I’m watching a live-stream.”

“So then, tell me! Who’s your side piece?”

You take a heavy breath, realizing that he isn’t going to let up. You don’t know why it’s such a big deal anyway, so you roll your eyes and tell him.

“Her name is RedHotLils? She plays a lot of the same stuff you do. She’s cute, I like her community too.”

James’ reaction isn’t… bad, per se. It’s just not really what you’re expecting. 

“Oh.” He says, and lowers his hand to give you the phone back. You take it back, immediately picking up on his change in attitude. “Well, that’s… yeah. That’s fine.”

Okay. That’s odd. Jame is not awkward like this. You eye him a bit suspiciously as your gaze returns to the phone in your hand. James gathers you back in his arms, pressing a few kisses to your head before returning to his game, but you know something is wrong. You expected a bigger reaction, especially given how much banter you’d had. Maybe him going into her chat and declaring that your love is for him and him alone. Or maybe a dramatic boo-hoo where he playfully begs you to never watch anyone but him again. You didn’t expect… nothing?

Is he upset? Is he actually jealous, and you just thought he was being silly? Normally, James is very open about his feelings. You’ve never questioned yourself like this, never had a problem reading him before. 

It’s like… it never happened. James is back to his usual self. If it weren’t for that lingering, icky feeling in your gut, you probably would’ve forgotten all about it. It stays until James is asleep in bed next to you and it’s all you can think about. His soft snores and the heavy arm around your back don’t help your mind to stop racing. 

Eventually, you slip out of his hold as gently as you can, holding your breath and praying he doesn’t wake up. You place a pillow in the space where your body had been, his arms instantly cradling the soft cotton the way he would you. You wait just a moment, hovering over the bed, seeing if he’ll wake up. 

When he doesn’t, you slip out of his bed, out of his room, and down the hall to Remus’. You knock softly, just a tap, but there’s no answer. You peek inside to see the sandy-haired man asleep, sprawled out on his bed. It doesn’t surprise you to see Sirius curled up next to him despite having his own room next door. 

You tiptoe to the side of the bed, crouching beside Remus. Part of you feels guilty for waking him up but also it’s eating you alive. 

“Remus.” You whisper, just loud enough to have him blinking awake. He groans a bit and you panic, trying to gesture to him to be quiet. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry for waking you up. But I have a question and I can’t sleep.” 

He sits up on his elbows, pushing Sirius’ arm off of him. Sirius doesn’t move a muscle, sleeping like the dead. “‘s going on?” Remus asks you.

You purse your lips for just a second, take a breath, and say, “I… don’t know? James was acting weird earlier and I think I might’ve said something that hurt his feelings.”

Remus blinks slowly, brain still a bit sluggish from sleep. “Well, I’m certain that you would know if you hurt his feelings. He’s quite forward.”

“I know,” You stress, leaning your cheek against the edge of his mattress. “That’s why I’m confused. We were just… y’know, talking shit, and then he stopped. And went back to playing with you guys and he hasn’t mentioned it again.”

“What were you talking about?” Remus asks, interrupted once by a yawn. He rubs at an eye, and only now do you see Sirius shift a bit. Oh good, he isn’t dead.

You fill Remus in on what happened between you and James, how everything was great until it wasn’t, and then it was again. By the end, Remus looks just as confused as you do. “Who was it?”

“Huh?” You ask, and then you register his question. “Uh, her name is RedHotLils? She’s just another gamer, she’s-”

Remus laughs. Like actually laughs out loud, enough to have Sirius jumping awake and glaring at his boyfriend. 

“Lily?” Remus shakes his head a bit, and the name seems to catch Sirius’ attention too, even half-asleep. “You were watching Lily?”

“What about Lily?” Sirius rubs at his eyes, voice practically a groan, “Are we talking about the Valkyries?”

“James accused her of cheating on him with Lily.” This has Sirius laughing too, and you look between the two men.

“Why is that funny?” You ask, clearly missing something. 

It’s Sirius who answers, voice still bubbling with giggles as he speaks. “Because James and Lily used to hook up.”

Oh.

“Oh.” Your voice mimics your inner dialogue, and Remus is quick to shake his head and quell any doubts you might have.

“We adore Lily. Really, all of them, they’re all wonderful.” Remus speaks as Sirius flops back down next to Remus with one final chuckle. “Our groups were closer before, when the two of them were together. But Lily, she ended it. Because, well, she-”

“She likes girls.” Sirius finishes for his boyfriend, reaching to tug him back down. Remus complies, becoming Sirius’ pillow once again. 

“Exactly.” Remus says, and you nod in understanding. “James assumes everyone knows about what happened with Lily. You probably just shocked him, love. It’s been awhile since any of us have really talked.”

You thank Remus and he waves you off, already falling back asleep and Sirius starts to snore right on cue as you leave the room. You slip back into James’ room, replacing the pillow you’d placed in his arms, and let yourself wrap around him. 

It makes sense, then, why he was awkward if the two groups used to be friends. You snuggle into James, letting his body envelope yours. It’s a little sad that the group fell apart after Lily and James broke up. As you start to drift off, you wonder if something, or maybe someone, could bring them all back together again.

Hawaii - Frank travels to Hawaii to lay it all out on the line.

Frank doesn’t attend Jana’s wake.

It’s too much heartache for him, too much temptation. Booze may not have been his drug of choice but it’s a slippery slope especially with NA. He opts to take Shen’s shift instead, allowing the other man to attend the event with Cici.

Work and the lawsuit are the only things that have been keeping him out of own head recently. His house has been sold and as agreed with you back in Hawaii, he’s now living at your place until he can find a new one.

“You just want someone to look after your garden.” He had teased you when you suggested the idea.

“That’s an added bonus.” You’d informed him as the two of you sipped coffee on the balcony of his hotel room, watching the sunrise in the distance.

Being around your things, it balances him. It reminds him that you aren’t gone for good, that despite the fact it’s been three months, you’re still planning to come back to him.

It’s ten pm when you turn up in the E.D, to say that Frank is surprised is an understatement. The last time he spoke to you, you were on the beach playing with your nephew and now you’re here in Pittsburgh, dressed up like a wet dream. You’re wearing a black sequined dress that cinches at the waist and thigh high boots he desperately wants locked around his hips. Your hair is swept to one side, falling over your features in a dark wave. He can’t speak, he can only stare as you stalk towards him in a long wool coat that wards off the nighttime chill.

“So, I thought you were going to be at the party and I wanted to surprise you.” You say as you stand before him with your hands on your hips. “And now I feel like an idiot for not asking.”

“I’m being a good boy, making sure I don’t compromise myself.” He tells you, signing off the patient’s chart with a final flourish before setting the tablet down on the desk. “So are you back? Like back, back? For real back?”

“Yeah, I dropped my stuff off at the house this afternoon.” You say, tucking your hands into your pockets as you look around you. “I feel very overdressed for this conversation, like super overdressed.”

“You look like every single one of my wildest dreams come true.” He says, biting his lower lip as he reaches out, his fingertips trailing along the lapels of the coat. “What’s the chance that you’ll still be wearing this when I get in later?”

“At seven in the morning? After a 12 hour flight from Hawaii this afternoon? We’re lucky I’m still upright right now.” You tell him, shaking your head. “I just couldn’t wait any longer to see you. I wanted to come by and say I’m back and… that I don’t want you to move out of the house. Seeing your stuff around like that… it kind of felt like home and I want that for us. I want my house to be our house.”

“Ivy Williams.” He smiles, his palms skating down to your waist, drawing you closer against his firm body. “Are you asking me to move in with you?”

“Well you’re already kinda moved in so this is just a formality.” You say as you tilt your face up to meet his gaze. “I was going to ask you at the party, where there would have been fire dancers, rose walls, probably sex in the bathroom. All of that would have added the element of romance I was looking for.”

“Well I am very sorry I missed all that but my answer would have still been the same.” He teases you, his forehead coming to rest upon yours.

“And that would be…”

“Yes.” He laughs, his lips brushing over yours. “Yes Ivy, I would love to live with you.”

࿐°♥ Dates with the Hoo boys! ࿐°♥

♥ Jason Grace ♥- would love restaurant dates and picnic dates. Anything that involves food. Camp Jupiter had never really allowed Jason to 'devour' meals because "he had to maintain his body" and he mostly had to eat extremely organic/healthy stuff. So sometimes he likes to go crazy on nice food to fill the void that has left him all these years. He'd also LOVE vacation dates like boating in Venice and all that cool stuff. According to him, life's way too short to not travel the world. Dates with him would be so calm and chaos free because he has everything planned so well :( he wants your dates to be perfect and doesn't want you to get stressed with the packing/planning. One thing about Jason though is that he's a worrywart, so he'd always be stressing out about the airplane schedules and when it would depart and stuff lol but love to be cheesy like kisses you whenever there's a fancy fountain in the name of being 'romantic' 🥹💝 also buys you souvenirs and cute lil stuff. Also, museum dates, he's a history nerd!!

⟢ Leo Valdez ⟢ cooking dates!! Or amusement park dates, but Leo, as social as he is, prefers staying at the comfort of home because he's gone through so many foster homes. He loves cooking Mexican food and loves to use you as a taste test participant haha, if he's feeling energetic then he'll probably go to a carnival with you, trying out all flavours of cotton candy, all the rides, and would even do cute shit like win you a plushie from the games :(( he would be dedicated! Also he loves celebrating latina holidays with you, if you aren't latina, he would love to teach you about the festivals and the cultural practices and stuff! He's a very proud man of his culture

𓇼Percy Jackson𓇼 - as opposed to the fandom's popular opinion, i personally think Percy would hate aquarium dates. He would hate aquariums in general tbh. They're basically just tanks with sea creatures confined in them, Percy hates that canonically, doesn't he? Anyways, I'd say Percy loves the arcade/movies, and for some reason he's definitely a skater boy, so he'll talk you to skate park dates where he teaches you how to skate, so cute!! So far he gives off the most "american teenage boy" vibes. Just youthful and cheerful dates. You guys eat blue popcorn while watching romcoms and sitcoms together, skate at night where New York is just bustling with city lights, also baking dates!! You both have a competition on who makes better blue food and Sally is the judge ahh

𓃰 Frank Zhang 𓃰 - hiking dates and camping dates! Frank is definitely pro! wilderness (duh) so he loves the outdoors, also hiking is super fun with him because he can change into whatever animal he wants and takes you on cool rides as a big swamp lizard or a crocodile lol roasting marshmallows with him while telling him scary stories>>>. Frank and you have a huge picnic in the middle of a forest, and you both sleep in the same tent, cuddling <33

HoO Boys x Heavy Music Lover!Reader

Characters: Percy Jackson, Jason Grace, Leo Valdez, Frank Zhang

Summary: How the HoO boys would react to their partners liking heavy music!

Warnings: the use of y/n, my grammatical ability, MENTIONS OF WEEZER

Word Count: 2.7k

Liv Yaps: hey so this came from the depths of my brain and i put this all together at like 5 am after no sleep so idk how in character this is, tbh it's all based off of vibes... personally, i think that all of the hoo boys have gone through a weezer phase (it was never a phase for jason sorry not sorry) but yeah... also if it seems like i'm making fun of any bands i am not all of the artists mentioned in this are ones that i thouroughly enjoy! i may or may not have gone a little overboard with jason but hey what else is new i guess... and i'm also tagging @jjsblueberry for your daily does of leo haha

ALSO ALSO ALSO my requests are open so pls pls pls send some in !!

Percy Jackson

In the books, Percy is a big fan of like '80s rock because that’s what Sally plays, and those are the CDs that she has around, so I don’t think that it would be too far-fetched for him to end up liking heavier rock music

Odds are, when he starts to get like angsty in the later books, he starts listening to heavier rock music anyway 

So when you get the aux on the drive to camp half-blood and you start playing Sleeping with Sirens, he’s all “oh wait I know thi—”

Doesn’t even finish his sentence before he blows out everyone’s eardrums because he needs to be singing along off-key and with a strained voice, and he is not sorry at all

But anything heavier than bands like Sleeping with Sirens/Pierce the Veil/Bad Omens (I'm so sorry I'm writing this at 4 am, I can't think of any other bands, but you get the idea) he isn’t very familiar with

He 100% has a superiority complex when it comes to music, cause his mom introduced him to the music he likes now, so of course, 80s rock music is in fact the best music… but whatever it is that you listen to is a close second 

“Y/N, I think that Pierce the Veil is great, but Led Zeppelin is so much better, I’m putting them on after this.” “Can’t we just listen to one album all the way through?” “… no.” Cue his evil smirk as he changes the music.

Percy WILL go to concerts with you because odds are he also wants to go with you

already have a vision in my head of Percy moshing at a rock festival somewhere in the middle of nowhere, upstate New York, that you managed to find tickets for

He literally grew up in nyc, he would totally be down for basement shows or ones in dive bars 

The lock screen of his phone is a 0.5 selfie that he took of you guys in a super crowded show at a random dive bar in Brooklyn 

As long as you were there with him and enjoying yourself, he probably wouldn’t even care if he didn’t know the bands or didn’t like the music itself

He would be so fun to go to concerts with, like yeah, he would carry all your stuff too

Percy would let you have aux in the car even when he drives because he likes the music you play

My man would love Tyrants by Pierce the Veil (currently listening to this song as I write these lmao)

If you’re more into grunge, he would scoff at first (cause he’s convinced that 80s rock is superior to literally everything) but then quickly eat up Alice in Chains and Silverchair

He cried when you told him that, like almost all of the lead singers of the big grunge band from the 90s that you showed him are dead

“What do you mean that Layne Staley is dead, Y/N? Couldn’t you have told me that before I started listening to them?!"

Driving from the city all the way out to Long Island together would go so hard, it’s just you guys going back and forth from 80s/70s rock music, and then 90s grunge, and then early 2000s rock music.

By the time you two get back to CHB, you'll both have lost your voice ‘cause you were scream-singing for five hours driving from Manhattan all the way down to Long Island

Percy is literally so in love with you the entire time, trying to drive and watch you sing at the same time is not a good combo for him, he almost swerves into the divider like three times before he decides to lock in 

Jason Grace

This poor, poor man 

In my head, the only music that Jason puts on with his own free will is like smooth jazz and soft rock so when you offer to drive him somewhere he needs to go and you hook up your phone to the car and a Korn song starts playing Jason goes into fight or flight and quite literally flies out of your car

He panicked and flew right out through the sunroof like 

“What the hell was that noise?” “That was music, Jason.” “That sounded like someone was banging metal pipes together and growling, Y/N, growling.”

I am fully convinced that the heaviest song that Jason will listen to voluntarily is song 2 by Blur

He is the complete opposite of Thalia, he cannot handle the sound of a double kick drum

Like, mostly because when he isn’t actively fighting, why would he want to listen to something so aggressive?

Which is like fair, but if you showed him Linkin Park after showing him something like Knocked Loose, you could be like “wow, this is so much lighter”

The only heavier music that you can get him to willingly like is Linkin Park, but that’s because he’s hella sad and listens to the lyrics instead of just vibing

You’re all “I TRIED SO HARD AND SO FAR BUT IN THE END IT DOESN’T EVEN MATTER !!!” 🗣️🗣️🗣️ But Jason is like “I tried so hard… and got so far… but in the end… it doesn’t even matter…” 😔😔😔

Like that’s lowkey it though, I do not think that he would enjoy listening to any other sort of metal/hard rock music, but he would soldier through for you

You show him Radiohead, starting with the softer stuff and when he’s like “yes, now this is music,” you know that he’s hooked on the pathetic sadness that is Thom Yorke and you show him other Radiohead songs that are more adventurous for him and THAT is like toeing the line for him

THAT BEING SAID 

You do manage to drag him to concerts and festivals by showing him videos of what the pit looks like during the song you’re looking forward to 

“What do you mean you want to be fighting for your life while trying to enjoy the music?” “It’s fun!” “You can’t be serious—“ “Bet your bottom dollar.” “… then I’m coming with you.”

He tries so hard to have fun for you, but man is stressed the entire time (he does carry all of your stuff though, cause in my head he wears cargo shorts and he uses those pockets)

Begs you not to go into the pit because then he would have to go in with you

You go anyway, of course he follows, and then realizes that he’s taller than everyone there and can see the tops of everyone's heads, and suddenly maybe he was being a bit dramatic / over-protective

Jason has a decent time waiting in line, getting merch, etc., until the band starts actually playing music

HE WILL BE SHIELDING YOU FROM PEOPLE IN THE PIT WITH HIS BODY

Like standing behind you, arms wrapped around you, head on a swivel

He sleeps for ten hours after the concert

You have a selfie of the two of you, and it’s you having the time of your life while Jason looks like he’s trying so hard not to sweep the entire band away with a particularly strong gust of wind (he doesn’t)

You absolutely gang up with Thalia to bring Jason to as many shows and festivals as possible to get him acclimated, like people do when they get a puppy and the trainer tells you to take them to as many different places as possible so that they get used to it

You and Thalia drag Jason to a Green Day concert, and he doesn’t hate it, but that’s probably because he’s with you and his sister, and your good mood rubs off on him too (and bc Green Day is not that heavy, it’s a good introduction for him)

You show Jason Deftones, but songs like Sextape (“y/n, that’s kind of a crude name for a song, no?”), No Ordinary Love, Diamond Eyes, Passenger, Rosemary, and he actually doesn’t mind it

That’s how you get him to a Deftones concert, and you convert him just enough to where you have found a middle ground, and it’s all of the less hectic Deftones songs

You don’t get pit tickets for the show cause they’re hella expensive, and he actually has the time of his life because he isn’t trying to keep both of you from getting trampled

It’s definitely like how dads will say that they don’t want to watch a movie, but then end up standing behind the couch for twenty minutes looking at the TV until they sit down and lock in

Jason does that at the concert and is like “I mean it’s better than the other one, I like these seats much more… oh that’s kinda cool… they sound much nicer live…” and then he’s standing up with you out of the seats and bobbing his head a little bit, mouthing the words that he knows (he is having a phenomenal time)

He has a picture of him kissing you while they played Mascara, and it’s in his wallet now

I don’t mean to make him sound so boring because I love metal and all that, and Jason is literally my husband, but heavier music is just not his scene, I think

Jason seems like he’s the kind of guy to listens to music to calm down, so listening to heavier rock music isn’t something that he would have done on his own

But ultimately, if you like it and have fun listening to it, he’ll get used to it and think of it as a thing that he does when he’s with his partner 

So, of course, he would get Pavlov-ed into thinking of you whenever he was listening to the radio, and a heavier song would come on

“Hey, this song is playing, thinking of you,” texts from him when he’s walking around and hears a kid walking by with the music leaking out of their headphones

Leo Valdez

HE LOVES LIMP BIZKIT FIGHT ME

Leo absolutely has enough angst and pent up feelings to be a Limp Bizkit enjoyer and so when he finds out that you like heavier music—forget it

“Y/N, have you heard this one? It’s much more fun than listening to whatever snooze-fest Jason is listening to right now.” *Leo starts blasting Rollin’ with an insidious smirk*

He can do an amazing Fred Durst impression no one can convince me otherwise

Leo’s karaoke song is Limp Bizkit’s cover of Faith by George Michael because I can hear him singing “~well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body, I know not everybody, has gotta body like me~” in a voice that sounds more like Goofy than Fred Durst because he is quite literally screaming at the top of his lungs

You walk in on him singing My Way to himself in Bunker 9 to hype himself up before he has to go do something important

“Uh— oh, hey Y/N, didn’t see you there—uhm…” *starts doing an interpretive dance to the beat of My Way because he doesn’t know what to do*

You two went to a Limp Bizkit concert and he absolutely dressed up like Fred Durst, long khaki shorts, baggy white shirt, and a backwards red cap (he made you match with him)

You guys listen to the wackiest songs together when you’re with him in Bunker 9 while Leo is working on something

I feel like Leo would like them because of how funky the band is, so I don’t think that he would like other heavier bands

If you play any other kind of heavy music in front of him, he thinks it’s funny, especially if the lyrics are kind of extra.

You get aux in Bunker 9 one afternoon and play Werewolf by Motionless in White, and he laughs at the song

“What—what is this?” Leo is actively trying not to roll on the floor laughing when he hears the electronic voice say “werewolf” in the background of the song “It’s a song?” “Is it though?”

Leo, similarly to Percy, has a superiority complex when it comes to music

He truly believes that his music is simply so much better, but he will listen to what you put on… he just won’t be quiet about it

THAT BEING SAID

… Leo listens to Weezer and then has the audacity to tell you that you shouldn’t play Motionless In White or The Plot in You because it’s cringy

“Leo, you’re literally listening to a song called Pork and Beans ???” “Mhm, and you’re listening to a song called Broadcasting from Beyond the Grave: Death Inc., what’s you’re point?”

You two learn to love each other’s cringey-ness more and more, and suddenly you know the words to all of the Pinkerton album, and he knows a lot more Motionless In White than he would ever admit to anyone who isn’t you

Equal trade

Leo would so be down to go to a concert or a festival with you, even if he didn’t like the band(s), he just likes to spend time with you, and he likes that kind of atmosphere

If you do like a whole makeup look for the concert, Leo is invested

“This is so different from what you usually do… It’s really cool.” “Well, we’re going to a Motionless In White concert, I do have to look cool, Leo.”

He watches you do your makeup like he’s in a literal trance

Leo becomes your assistant too, handing you whatever you need, he’s just happy to be sitting next to you and being able to look at your face tbh

Frank Zhang

Frank doesn’t even know that there is music heavier than whatever is on the top 50 hits radio station

Whenever you’re in the car with Frank, he always lets you pick the music, even if he’s the one who’s driving

So one day, Frank is driving you somewhere, and you just have to listen to the new Spiritbox album that just came out

Frank hears the first few seconds of the song and ascends

I’m lowkey pretty sure that in like the first pjo book, it’s canon that the ares kids like hard rock/heavier music (I may or may not have just made that up, sue me, I guess), so I’d like to think that the same thing applies to the mars kids

But regardless, Frank most definitely has enough feelings to thoroughly enjoy heavy music

Anyway, back to business

He actually loves the entire song 

“Y/N, I need to hear more—who was that?” “That was Spiritbox, pretty good right?” “It-it was, that was really cool—“

Frank insists on you showing him more, and it speaks to his soul

Frank was meant to be a bit of a metalhead, sorry not sorry

Like this dude had anger issues that he had to work very hard on to get under control and is a bit pessimistic, but is overall a pretty nice dude who tries his best to be chill, yeah, he was meant to blow off some steam headbanging to some Knocked Loose

You are his guide into metal music, and it’s such a fun thing that you guys do together

You make him little playlists for each band or for a specific vibe, and this man listens and takes notes 

“So, I really liked it at 2:54 when the guy did that thing with the guitar—very cool, very cool.”

You get him into Spiritbox, Kittie, and Poppy 

He absolutely gets a shirt that says “Spiritbox is my favorite male-backed band” 

(It’s a play on how people would say, like “oh yeah, this is my favorite female-led band” instead of just calling it their favorite band)

Frank likes the women artists better than the bands who are just dudes, sorry that’s just a Frank FactTM

He will absolutely go to shows with you and will happily go into the pit because he’s a huge guy, so literally what would there be to worry about? 

Frank does enjoy the shows better if you guys are in the stands as opposed to the pit, because he can’t help but feel like he would hurt someone if he were there

He never does, but sitting in the stands just makes him feel a bit more comfortable 

You guys make a list of bands you both want to see live and assuming you both are still in New Rome, you get to see most of them pretty quickly (i swear to god all of these bands are always touring in cali)

Frank absolutely goes and finds the tickets himself and will just suprise you with them

"Hey, I found these... the show's in three weeks..."

You and Frank shop for vinyls together all the time since you two like the same music

It turns into a shared collection between the two of you !!!

But if anyone asked Frank who’s vinyls they are he says that they’re all yours cause he’s whipped sorry

[ganxiously]

You ever notice how your side akways has the same arguments that you keep repeating over and over again like that will bring your baby boy back to the show. There was a helicopter chase, they slept together once, they still loooove each other, boo hoo. Keep being pressed about all this little stuff knowing it will never compete with a relationship they have invested 7 years in! We get new proof every other episode while that man hasn't even been seen in a long time

My dear, your statement has so many holes I could use it to strain my evening tea. And let me tell you how fucking weird it is that you guys show up like clockwork every single time I make a post. Do you just camp under the tag? And if so, is this really the best you could do?

I'm not going to waste my time arguing against every little thing you said but let me tell you something really fun about this post-truth world we are living in - the bullshit is always going to be more appealing and manipulative and persuasive than the truth. We can only say they were in a relationship, they aren't now but there's a fair chance they might get together again. On the other hand, you can say they met! and they fought! and they looked! and they touched! and they stood in a kitchen and they sat on a couch and you can spin a web of lies to drag people in. But don't think we can't do that. I and a lot of the people in this fandom (because believe me when I tell you, there are some really smart people here) could sit down and churn out the most gut-wrenching tale of fate and missed opportunities and throw it at everyone and invade every fandoms space and we would have people believing BuckTommy were meant to be since the pilot episode like it's the word of god. I assure you our fandom would double, or triple in no time. Instead, however, like the sane people we are, we just shrug everything off as a happy coincidence, stick to facts, mark our theories as just theories and keep our stories limited to fanfiction. And I know there are a lot of people on your side who do exactly that and are good people and are really fun to interact with. Try to be more like them.

Since we’re talking about periods, Swindle versus the human menstrual cycle of his little pet. Definitely trying to find you some birth control because with all the development of this relationship it had completeoy swept your mind that you didn’t have access to the usual stuff or the birth control you take on the reg. So when you see red? Hoo boy. Time for fun conversation.

Swindle of course listens attentively to explanation, because you know, this is definitely some information he needs to keep on hand when billing human pets. But also he’s definitely trying to think what to do here. Because apparently you bleeding for a while is going to happen every month for a bit until it one day when you get to a certain age, unless you take or use a contraceptive and if you aren’t on one you need something to handle the blood. He can handle taking you to stock up now, since you guys are close to earth but he’ definitely wondering about other solutions, especially if he wants to make human pets a big thing on Cybertron.

ohohohoho yessss this is what I'm living for Swindle is very receptive to it, and his mind's quickly going into "hm, how do I deal with this financially?". I'm sure they have some equivalent to cotton/something similar to menstrual cups (who knows - maybe Swindle could start selling this stuff too in special care packages). But he quickly realizes this hurdle is actually a selling point. Your valve is much more sensitive during your period, and you're so deliciously receptive to his touch
