Includes: Todoroki Shoto, Bakugou Katsuki, Midoriya Izuku, & Iida Tenya
warnings: mentions of food
genre: general, fluff, opinion piece

Todoroki Shoto
Tumblr media
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮?
hmm he does sometimes!! he usually makes lunch for you when he has time off, but it's mostly stuff you can make without using an oven. he makes a GREAT sandwich
𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
yes! and by yes i mean he watches as you cook. he'll probably prep the kitchen for you- he cleans up the kitchen and helps chop vegetables so you dont take extra prep time
𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤?
hmm i think he'd like baking more! he's not much of a sweet tooth but its easier to mess up when you cook rather than just sticking something in the oven and waiting for it to rise
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥?
he's decent!! he doesnt like handling hot liquids for reasons (except soba duh) but anything other than that hes fine! it might take two tries to get a recipe right. he doesnt really make anything fancy
𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
absolutely!! he loves finally being able to sit down with you after a long day. the first words that come out of his mouth is usually "how was your day?" nd you two easily fall into a pattern. he almost NEVER misses dinner
𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞?
you already know!! baby loves his cold soba!!
𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬?
if you had a claim on a room in his house it would be the kitchen. yea he lives there but thats YOUR kitchen.
Tumblr media
Bakugou Katsuki
Tumblr media
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮?
Everyday!! He strongly believes providing and cooking for you is one of the easiest ways to show you how much he loves you. his food speaks for him. He loves trying out new recipes for u!! nd theres no snark if you ever request something for dinner. When you two first got together he'd make breakfast and then say he "accidentally made too much" so you can have some. It gradually evolved to "What do you want to eat?"
𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
rarely. he doesnt want u anywhere near the kitchen. On rare occasions when he's done cooking u make desert, but usually you bake in advance bc he doesn't want anything in his way when he's ready to make something
𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤?
hes the cook and ur the baker!! He doesnt see the joy in baking and thinks it's useless to him since he doesnt really enjoy sweets. that is- until you make KILLER Shu kurimu. he cant get enough of the cream puffs you make and does not know when to stop. u usually only make them once a month. he gets mad if you make them more bc he knows hes going to ignore his meal plan and inhale them lol
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥?
You already know Bakugou is Gordon Ramsey 2.0!! man can make anything. every time you see him head to the kitchen you get excited. you KNOW he's abt to go hard and make the best food you've probably ever tasted
𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
hmm not much- You know bakugou is an overachieving perfectionist. He works and works and works until he drops. He doesn't have time to sit down and eat, he's always on patrol. That doesn't mean he leaves you with nothing to eat, though! He'll get up early to make you both bentos and makes sure to prep for dinner if he isnt cooking in advance. On off days (rare) he'll make you American styled breakfast in bed 🥰
𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞?
Tantanmen! its the japanese take on Sichuan Dan Dan noodles. u know baby loves his spices
𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬?
HIS. dont even THINK about trying to get in that kitchen while he's cooking. he needs his space and cooking is his time to shine!! he'll get irritated if ur in the way. he likes when you sit at the bar top of his kitchen and talk to him while he cooks. even distracted he cooks perfectly. he doesnt add much to the conversation since he's still focused, but he loves hearing ur voice and knowing you enjoy being around him enough to just sit and watch
Tumblr media
Midoriya Izuku
Tumblr media
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮?
ummm- he tries?? He makes you two a lot of no-cook dinners since hes not good with cooking yet. But babyboy definitely tries!!
𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
all the time!! izuku is usually watching you cook. whenever you're in the kitchen, hes there. He watches and takes notes so he can get better. He helps with all the non cooking parts- chops up everything and preheats the oven. He'll help clean up your mess as you go!!
𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤?
hmm both! he's a decent baker but he wants to learn more about both. baby never gives up on learning something new
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥?
hh at first? NO. You're surprised he's survived this long. You have no idea how he follows meal plans to stay in shape for hero work when the man barely knows how to boil water. He's admitted he used to go to Bakugous and annoy him until he was kicked out with a full stomach. but!! Once a week, you'll give him a lesson and watch over as he cooks, you know he'd rather die than give up trying to perfect something. He's a really fast learner and is actually starting to get good!! Next thing you know you'll be coming home from work and finding that dinner was already made- maybe a bit dry, okay. But its not that bad!!
𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
He tries- he really really tries. He loves eating dinner with you, but being the #1 hero takes sacrifice and dinner with his loved ones is exactly that. He's too busy for his own good; completing patrols and missions, attending events, making appearances, writing reports??? Its all a LOT. He'll probably come home to eat dinner with you once (twice, if hes lucky) a month.
You know how hard it is on him. He would always sit down and eat dinner with his mom when he was younger and not being able to sit down and relax was stressful. One day you decided to surprise him! You two share your locations so you made dinner and went out to bring him food. You two ate on this agency's fire escape- He was so happy!! You remember that scene when spiderman ate a churro while sitting on the ledge of a building? thats yall. After that, he makes sure these midnight picnics are a daily thing- he wouldnt miss patrol dinners for the world
he always wraps an arm around you when you two eat during a patrol. He gets grumpy because you never bring a jacket and he doesn't have one on him to give you since hes in his hero suit ): you sit side by side, arms brushing against eachother as you two eat whatever you made
𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞?
Tonkatsu!! its one of his favorite foods and it doesn't take that mich effort or time to make
𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬?
Yours!! you're usually in charge of food- he's too busy and if he rushes cooking the food will turn out inedible. He doesnt have time to clean up after you- so he hires someone to clean the kitchen daily. A hero's salary has its perks!
Tumblr media
Tenya Iida
Tumblr media
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮?
not usually- its not because he doesnt want to. It just doesn't cross his mind. Cooking for him is more of a chore- He'd rather take you out someplace nice
𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
All the time!! You two work around the kitchen with eachother effortlessly- never getting in eachothers way. He'll stop to watch you work your magic sometimes. Cooking with you is such a mundane yet enjoyable experience
𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤?
baker!! he mostly makes rolls and baked goods that arent too sweet. I strongly believe Iida likes to bake bread
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥?
He's decent- he follows all recipes to a T so if its a bad recipe the food will turn out a little bland. u know when you see a recipe and it has little to no spices so you add some? Iida doesn't do that- a recipe is made to be followed
𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
Yes!! You two try to eat together at least three times a week. On fridays his brother comes over for dinner- its always a grand time! The dining room booms with laughter and chatter
𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞?
beef stew!! thats one of the meals he makes thats really really good!
𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬?
shared! you both cook and bake equally and u never kick eachother out the kitchen. He loves being in the kitchen with you!! He'll press up against your back, resting his head on your shoulder and wrapping an arm around your waist as he watches you cook
he's tried being romantic and dance with you in the kitchen. poor baby just doesnt know how to dance. but humor him!! he loves dancing with you! Theres a speaker in the kitchen just for when you want to hold eachother in the kitchen and listen to music
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading 🥺 If you wanna leave constructive criticism i'd really appreciate that ❤️ I take requests btw! lemme know if i should do a pt 2 w the other boys & shinsou! hope u enjoy ur day

ADA: Songs the BSD characters remind me of (even though no one asked)
I’ve recently watched all 3 seasons of the Anime, the movie and the OVA and have started reading the Manga from the beginning. Right now I am only at chapter 40 because I started reading like 2 days ago, so idk stuff that would happen after the Anime storyline (if it goes that much further than season 3 ending, I wouldn’t know). I based this off on either specific lyrics that made me think it would fit the character or a certain vibe I was getting from a character. For some characters it was easier, for some not so much lol It is why some characters have multiple songs that make me think of them while others only have one (if they even do have one, that is – but the ADA does, except for Katai). So please do not rip into me because you think a song might not fit them as well as I do, because I just have not gotten to the latest chapter of the Manga yet, so there are some characters I do not know that well yet but I wanted to do this for fun. Other than that, I hope you enjoy this list~ Also, feel free to add to my list if you have songs that I haven’t mentioned but think would fit the characters, if you want to~
My taste in music is also pretty broad and not limited to certain languages or genres (though I do have my preferences), so I will provide translations of the lyrics in different languages from English. The German ones (like Kontra K, Elif, etc.) were translated by myself (on the spot), for other languages like Romanian or Korean, etc. I had to look up translations on the internet.
Disclaimer: For the songs for Dazai, one might want to consider a TW, for one of his songs has extremely open-no-room-for-speculation suicidal lyrics. If this affects you, please skip that one, I will put that song last on his list.
And, well, because this is 12 pages long in the document, I will be making a cut here…

💙 Wölfe (Wolves) by Kontra K 💙
It’s about so much more than just strength, it’s about solidarity and virtue / It runs so much deeper than your wounds could ever get / We’re walking through the fire together until the day we die […] /
And we are so infinitely far away from being perfect / But what doesn’t kill us will make us stronger / And hope dies last / It dies last /
A lot of the members have been through quite some shit, but they hold it together all the time and always pull through and manage to keep moving forward sooo (some random arsehole I talked to spoilered me about Yosano and Mori  -_-)
💙 Born For This by The Score 💙
A force that they can’t stop / They just don’t get it, I think they forget / I’m not done until I’m on top / I know I was born for this / I know I was born for this […] /
We are the warriors, who learned to love the pain / We come from different places but have the same name / ‘Cause we were born for this / We are the broken ones, who chose to spark a flame / Watch as our fire rages, our hearts are never tame /
.

💙 Believe by Hollywood Undead 💙
I can’t believe / That when I breathe / That there’s something good inside of me / Just one good thing inside of me / So close to me / That memory / Of that one good thing inside of me / Just one good thing inside of me /
If I went out the back door, nobody would stop me / But, where would I go? / ‘Cause I ain’t never had a real home / So, what do I know? / So, I could keep runnin’, hide until they find me / But, what would that do? /
That he really hates himself that much and how insecure he is in his right to be alive not just simply because he is a living being really hurts to see.
💙 Face it by NF 💙
Don’t know how to face it / Let’s go back to basics / Yes, say what you mean, do what you say, but man I hate this / I just don’t know what I’m chasing, don’t know what I’m chasing / Yes, somebody told me / Life is something you don’t wanna play with / But I just keep on playing like life is just a playground […] / I look at myself and I ask what the goal is / Yeah, tell me what your goal is / I’m just so lost in emotions, I don’t even notice / I just slip into a place and I don’t think straight / Devil in my ear tryna tell me everything’s great / And in a year realize I’m in the same place / Running in the same race, same pace […] /
Get that sickness out my mouth / I feel like my train is derailing / I can feel it / Yo these words are only words until they actions / Words until they actions, strive on empty satisfactions / Yeah, the fact is I don’t know, fact is I don’t know /
💙 월식  (My Tragedy) by Taeyeon 💙
At the end of an empty day / Everyone busily returns from somewhere / In the red night sky / I disappear into the darkness little by litte / These many sparkling lights / There isn’t a single light that’s mine / Under the cold shade by myself / Like it wasn’t there from the start /
💙 Oceans by Jacob Lee 💙
I learnt to let go when I was younger / Scared of growing old / I would swim far into the ocean / And try to stay afloat / Until my lungs would cough up water […] /
I don't want love no more / Though it's the one thing I've been searching for / Though it's the one thing that I miss the most / Now I'm afraid to be alone / I learnt to grow old when I was younger / Scared of staying young / Afraid of the thoughts that I had conjured / That sat atop my tongue / Knowing I'd change the worlds opinion / If they would just, listen up / But they won't, now /
I feel worthless / Maybe I should open the drawer / Burn the pages / Write poems with the ash on the floor / Pour the ink, into the sink / And watch it drain from the shore /

I know Dazai has a looooot of songs, but tbh I could’ve added at least another 15 because. There. Were. Just.  S O .  M A N Y .  T H A T  F I T  H I M  S O  W E L L ‼‼ (Well, at least the ones I could think of off of the top of my head right away.)
💙 Believe by Hollywood Undead 💙
Don’t you know, little boy, they’ll lay you to waste, man / Little do they know, every song is a lifespan / Yeah, they’ve taken one, but I’m takin’ my last chance / To hold all we know and let go with both hands / Though, don’t you know that plots are made from concrete / Right through the stone, can you hear my heart beat? / Beats through my bone, like no memory left me / Not for a second or a minute when I dream […] / My heart beats heavy in an open chest / And, I wanna say goodbye, but there’s nobody left /
I broke it all, and I put to the test / Put your hands in mine, and feel this emptiness / There’s no beat in my chest / ‘Cause there’s nothin’ left / No, it ain’t goodbye, its a last caress  / What’s another dream? / You could hardly sleep /
Makes me think of Oda aka the bond they had aka the admiration Dazai had for him.
💙 Face it by NF 💙
I ain’t sleeping lately / I ain’t sleeping lately / Yes, I know that I’m the only person that can change me / Maybe, that’s why I ain’t changing / That’s why I ain’t changing / I got too much on my mind, I guess I don’t know how to face it /
He obviously has a lot of issues, and I bet he still doesn’t think of himself as a good person. It strikes me as if he’s thinking that Agency Dazai is not much different from Mafia Dazai. “Your hands are black. Mafia black,” as Higuchi said. I think he did not deny it when she said that, so he doesn’t disagree with her.
💙 Rain by Hollywood Undead 💙
I don’t mind, no I don’t mind, I don’t mind the rain / Simple things and subtleties, they always stay the same / I don’t mind, that I don’t mind, no I don’t mind the rain / Like a widow’s heart, we fall apart, but never fade away (fade away) /
Run like a child, do you know where I came from? / No, I don’t, but I’m singing all the same songs / I’m alone, and you’re looking for your anyone / Does it hurt just to know that it’s all gone? / I can feel the pain in the words that you say / Hidden in the letters that were written to no name […] / Buried in red, white, and a side of some blue / Some will die too late, and somebody too soon / If he could come back, we’ll see what it cost him / We had to lose it all, just to know that we lost one /
💙 Lass mich lieber allein (better just leave me alone) by Kontra K 💙
Man, don’t explain the world to me, it isn’t perfect / And just as imperfect are also you, her and me / All of that isn’t a problem to me / But tell me, since when does hatred laugh so audaciously into my face? / But it’s somehow alright for me […] / Man, I wish for a minuscule part of naivety back / But it seems it’s somehow too late for me / Somehow already too late for me […] /
Already been wandering for so long, you forget / Who is worthy of sacrificing yourself for and for whom you better not do it / You run along the street of success without any luck (on your side) / But she walks out of hell into heaven only once and then right back / If you end up where you started then where is the meaning? /
Because I also have my baggage to carry all on my own / Just like all of the fuckers that think I’m living in heaven all by myself / But the fire and the flames in which I’ve been standing in for so long already / Man, they refuse to see them / But it’s somehow alright for me /
You better just leave me alone / Because when they carry you on their hands, they will (eventually) let you drop / I’d rather fall alone/by myself / Rather alone/by myself /
💙 Lies by Will Jay 💙
I'd rather tell myself if I ignore / These thoughts they'll go away / And my toxic friends have changed / Truth is I hate confrontation / Deal with it tomorrow / 'Cause there's nothing I can do / That's my favourite excuse / Feeding my procrastination […] /
And I think I just realised I would do anything / To keep hiding the pain I've been burying / That's why I tell / Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lies /
💙 Du willst es (You want it) by Kontra K 💙
Only the good ones die young, and not long after the best ones follow / No idea, ask death why he thinks that I am so damn bad / Still here, we’re almost not worthy of heaven / Working day for day, only the hatred kills the pain / Life will shoot you in the chest but only ever hit your heart / Thank God that place in my chest has been emptied a long time ago […] /
We asked God, “why” / But the devil said, “doesn’t matter” / We’re swimming in a pool full of misery / But bring us another glass of it /
💙 Wie gemacht dafür (like we were made for it) by Kontra K 💙
Pretty normal, normal / Because you can’t get me, get me further down (the hole/ditch) / Than I’ve already been, you get it? […] / I’m going one-on-one with my inner demons, and I’ve been doing that for the past 13 years / I’ve been there, no matter what happened / Ask your gangsters, they know my voice / Have respect, respect for the realness / But fucking piss me off, and I’ll be sending you to heaven […] /
What pressure are you talking about, I inhale this city deep into my lungs / Put it on the beat and I’ll be giving you a new reason for your hatred /
Like we were made for it, we’re running through hell barefooted / We’re living rent-free in their heads, with the real ones, with the real ones / Like we were made for it, always loyal to my people / Swapping none of my friends for money, for the real ones, for the real ones […] /
If you’re my enemy, I’ll give you lead (bullets) / If you’re my friend, I’ll give you love / Because a wolf stays fucking loyal only to his family /
💙 Lonely by Nathan Wagner 💙
Is everybody lonely? / Is everybody scared? / Is everybody worried / That no one really cares? / See I'm afraid to love, but afraid to be alone / Still I wonder why my heart is always broke / What a way to live, let the fear take all control / Oh, this ain't life, no / I'm not alive […] /
'Cause I'm afraid to show the people who I am / I'm not special, I'm just a simple broken man / So I will hide my face with my picture perfect mask / Oh, this ain't life, no / It's just a lie […] /
If I looked you in the eye / And showed the broken things inside / Would you run away? / Would you run away? / If you saw my darkest parts / The wicked things inside my heart / Would you run away? / Or are you the same? /
The following one makes me think of Mafia Dazai
💙 Body Count by Grey ft. Thutmose 💙
I got a hunger, I got a fever / And it just won't quit / I got a temper, I got a bullet / With your name on it / Everybody wonders what it's like on top / I don't gotta wonder 'cause I call the shots […] /
My blood runs cold and my feet run faster / I still got heart, I hear a heart don't matter / Say what you want and it'll be your last words / It ain't a secret, I got a hit list / And baby, you're up next /
Stack 'em up, stack 'em up / Teach 'em not to fuck with me / Bag 'em up, bag 'em up / Let 'em know who runs these streets / Take 'em down, take 'em down / Count 'em out like one, two, three / Add a-na-na-na-na-na-na-nother one  / To the body count /

💙 Bullet by Hollywood Undead 💙
Gone too far and yeah I'm gone again / It's gone on too long, tell you how it ends / I'm sitting on the edge with my two best friends / One’s a bottle of pills, one’s a bottle of Gin / I'm twenty stories up, yeah I'm up at the top / I'll polish off this bottle, now it's pushing me off / Asphalt to me has never looked so soft / I bet my momma found my letter, now she’s calling the cops / I gotta take this opportunity before I miss it / 'Cause now I hear the sirens and they're off in the distance / Believe me when I tell you that I've been persistent / 'Cause I'm more scarred, more scarred than my wrist is / I've been trying too long, with too dull of a knife / But tonight I made sure that I sharpened it twice / I never bought a suit before in my life / But when you go to meet god, you know you wanna look nice /
We hit the sky, there goes the light / No more sun, why's it always night / When you can't sleep, well, you can't dream / When you can't dream, well, what’s life mean? / We feel a little pity, but don't empathize / The old are getting older, watch a young man die […] /
When you were young, you never thought you'd die / Found that you could but too scared to try / You looked in the mirror and you said goodbye / Climb to the roof to see if you could fly /
So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow / Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow

💙 Brunette Ambition by Qveen Herby 💙
'Cause it's been three weeks and four days / No days off, just runways / I’m fucked up, I'll throw shade / Outwork you on a bad day […] /
On a mission, got no competition / It's hard to sleep with brunette ambition / Revenge is sweet, pussy: my religion / They say slow down, but I never listen /
Old me forsaken, these rules are for breaking / I get lonely with no new friends / Associate, but they can't relate / When you want the world, they’re uncomfortable /
This one is 50% lyrics, 50% overall energy of the song. Yosano is a bad bitch, and I love her.
💙 STFD by TeZATalks 💙    [Flash Warning for epilepsy]
I'm not here to take no names or reservations / I'm the devil telling Satan I'm just wild / Sit the fuck down / Imma kill it let me live just how I'm livin' / Ghetto heart with good intentions / I'm just wild / Sit the fuck down /
I'm chasing freedom for the fearless / I gotta do it 'cause I can't chase fear myself / I'm 'bout as broken as I confess / But better than most that lay cower / Proud of who they crowd / You don't know me / Coming to take your crown / Bow down / You know that I can do better, better / I don't need you to come in and show me how / Settle down / Cause you know that I can do better, better /
This song is mostly just the vibe for me. Quite…. unapologetic. Like the badass bitch vibe Yosano gives off, despite (or probably especially because of) her past.
💙 Nur mir (only to myself) by Elif 💙
Can’t believe what’s happening to me / Your words have manipulated me / I shouldn’t lose the connection to myself / Because otherwise your words will always stay with me / At first, you were there for me / But then you wanted me as your property […] / This city is big enough for the two of us / I have to share it with 4 million others anyway / I get onto the same train, stand on the same platform / Oh, everything’s profit (to you), everything’s yours /
But I only belong to myself, only to myself / Belong to myself, only to myself / Not to her, not to him, not to you /
💙 Disease by Hollywood Undead 💙
Our words are broken but they’re spoken aloud / So come together, come together again / The time is now, let Armageddon begin / They say beginnings always start with the ends / I say forever and forever, Amen /
Forget what you are / Forget what you feel / We stand apart but fall together / Nothing ever lasts forever /
We’re born to live, we’re born to die / We’re forced to swallow these pills and to never ask why / What I’ve become, why can’t you see / That everybody, everybody, everybody’s got this disease? /

💙 The Wolf by SIAMÉS 💙
Each and every day / Hiding from the sunshine / Wandering in the shade / Not too old, not too young / Every night again / Dancing with the moonlight / Somewhere far away / I can hear your call […] / Ain’t no fairytale / What I see in your eyes / Awaiting your mistake / Not too close, not too far /
Honestly, finding a song for Ranpo somehow was harder than it should’ve been lmao Originally, this song is about addiction, but if you read them in the sense of it being about a criminal, whom Ranpo is about to catch, it makes more sense. I am sorry I can’t provide a better song for him right now djhfksjlhdfujhhgkfc

💙 Fuck You by Silent Child 💙
Am I wasting my breath on you / Feels like my words are never getting through, yeah / I never said I hate you to someone so much before / I'm light headed when we talk and then you shut the door, god damn / Like what are we still talking for, yeah /
I really hope you don’t see tomorrow  / I tried to play nice with you / 'Cause all you ever do is try to fuck up my day / And you were successful / (But I know the truth) / No you don't have anything better to do / Everything you ever loved has tried to escape you / So why would I want anything to do with you /
Fuck you /
Don’t lie, he would blast this at full volume when Dazai fucks up his schedule again HAHAHA (I love their dynamic)
💙 Waiting by Zhavia Ward 💙
The truth is you don't even / Know what the hell you believe / But you should believe / Lions don't lose sleep / Over the opinions of sheep /
So if you're waitin' / To watch me fall / Watch me fall / Watch me fall / I'ma keep you waitin' / To watch me fall / Watch me fall / Watch me fall / I'ma keep you waitin' /
Empire State kinda view / And I'm up here with the crew / I got the feelin' that you wishin' / You could be up here too / Maybe I should feel bad for you / Be a little sentimental / But I don't, no I won't / Make excuses for you to hide behind /
This one makes me think of the time Fyodor tried to break him mentally by making that little girl sacrifice herself (Season 3), but he got back up pretty quickly again after having his ideals get shaken like that.

Here's the massacre, a mausoleum fit for me / Lived a hundred years, a hundred years I didn't see / Gave all my hope away, isn't any left for me? / Bombs are splitting atoms, what can the future bring? / We can fill a million choirs and wait till children sing / We can walk a million miles and end up in the sea / And our lungs just keep filling and lying when we breathe / The world's filled with liars, liars like me / And I look at my child, it's finite, this feeling / Eyes blue like the sky, I see all of this meaning / I reach up to God and I ask if I'm dreaming […] /
Everybody says greetings and goodbyes / Everybody pays, no one knows the price / We know the price of sin, the sin of sacrifice / I know I'll sin again, but who can save me twice? / How much can we ask? You'll get the answer first / How much can we kneel with the air that chills the earth? / The air keeps getting colder, my knees keep hitting dirt / The innocent can cry without the guilty getting hurt / You ask who you love and you don't know, no, do you? / The spirit of God just passes right through you / You gave away heaven, handed right to you / And I can see it all, tell me, is it true? /
Fukuzawa is that anime character that’s visibly been through a lot of shit (and has done a lot of shit as well, even morally grey or black), which could be why he’s so stern and not a man of many words. Marked by life, if you will. He also gives off a very “wise man” kinda vibe right from the beginning, so I think that this song somewhat fits him because it is wondering about the state of the world and human nature.
💙 Courtesy Call by Thousand Foot Krutch 💙
This is your last warning / A courtesy call / I am not afraid / Of the storm that comes my way / When it hits it shakes me to the core / And makes me stronger than before / It’s not a question about trust / But will you stand with us? […] /
There’s a rumble in the floor / So get prepared for war / When it hits it’ll knock you to the ground / When it shakes up everything around / But survivial is a must / So will you stand with us? /  
This song just has that badass vibe. And no one can deny that Fukuzawa has a badass and intimidating vibe as well as he seems so stern and stoic most of the time.

💙 Nesimtit by Mark Stam 💙
I don't have lots of cash / But enough for me to buy you an ice cream / For us to go on a walk / And for you to whisper to me in the waves of the ocean / I've taken some days from the border / And I put some behind the door, on ice / For cloudy weather / So that we can have them when the movie of life passes […] /
Let me be your lifeline / When your world is in the process of demolition / Let your dreams fly / I promise, we'll catch them somewhere around the sun /
Oddly enough, the Tanizaki siblings were just as hard for me as Ranpo… There aren’t really that many songs that would make me think of them. But this Romanian one made me (partly) think of him, I also think it’s cute and would probably fit him lol Especially the last four lines make me think of him and Naomi. After all, he’d even burn down the whole world if it was for her sake. All in all, this just sounds like him in the sense of a really supporting person/friend/brother.

💙 You Should See Me In A Crown by Billie Eilish 💙
You say, "Come over, baby / I think you're pretty" / I'm okay, I'm not your baby / If you think I'm pretty /
You should see me in a crown / I'm gonna run this nothing town / Watch me make 'em bow / One by one by one / One by one by / You should see me in a crown / Your silence is my favorite sound / Watch me make 'em bow / One by one by one / One by one by one /
Naomi isn’t giving me the same “badass bitch” vibe as Yosano does, but she does have that “badass princess” vibe. Is that making any kind of sense? Like, she does not have an ability, but she is neither dumb nor completely helpless in all situations. So, there is a slight badass vibe, but not the “I can and I. W i l l . Kick your stupid. Bitch. Ass.” – so a…. “badass princess”? Because she also has that elegant aura about her. I hope I am making sense…?

💙 2! 3! by BTS 💙
We know that you are happy right now / That you're slaying right now / You have all what you deserve / And we are so damn proud / But you're people, like us / You have spars, you get hurt / You get tired of the pressure / You get tired of the rush / God, thank you so much! / For giving us the chance / To tell you that we're here for you / And this will never change /
Lay on us / When dark times come and surround you / Our light will help you to get through / Our love is gonna heal you / Lay on us / The ones who would go to space to / Steal some stars just to give you 'cause it would make you feel good / We're gonna stay with you forever, until the end / We swear that we're not going anywhere / Yeah we're not going anywhere / We know the road can be so tough / But with holding hands / Together we take a nice deep breath /
Haruno strikes me as the kind of person, who’d be a really supportive friend, so I thought this might fit her. I have not seen much of her and her character neither in the anime nor in the manga yet, so I don’t really know whether this is any good or if it does her any justice.
On the other hand, I feel this song would also fit the Tanizaki siblings well.

💙 Puste sie weg (blow them away) by Kontra K 💙
Love in the air – blow it away / 9mm on the chest – then blow it away / 3g on the mirror – better blow it away / And the wind will do the rest / Hate in the air – blow it away / Pressure on the chest again – then blow it away / Seven sins in my head – better blow it away / And the wind will do the rest […] /
Because everyone’s talking, talking, talking too much / But unfortunately never do it, do it, do it / And I don’t hate, hate, hate the player / But I’d rather kill a whole team by myself /
I’d rather have three, four warriors than one thousand “brothers” / I’d rather pick up cents from the ground than break bread with liars / I’d rather be broke like I used to be than be a part time dealer / I’d rather have a heart of gold than sharing with no one at all (no one) /
Hatred in the air – blow it away / Pressure on the chest again – then blow it away / Seven sins in my head – better blow it away / And the wind will do the rest /
Take the lyrics quite literally, “blow them away”. The feeling of this song fits him, I think, because of his sheer strength. He just blows away hatred, malice, etc. and is unaffected by any of it as his heart and his head stay innocent and pure, even if naive.
I have to say though, it can be a pun, especially the part of “9mm (gun) on the chest” would be most obvious for it (especially considering that the “on the chest” part does not specify in German whether it’s your own chest or you are holding a gun to someone’s else’s chest lol). In general “puste xy weg” means to blow it away with the air out of your mouth, but colloquially it can also mean gunning down something or someone. And if you apply that meaning to every single line with “blow it away”, the meaning turns around from not letting it bother you to killing it, which I find interesting with this character. (Because he definitely has great potential to actually kill someone with his ability alone.) Though what I thought when I heard this song was that it might fit him with the meaning of him letting nothing bother him.

💙 Alaska by Elif 💙
Sometimes I’m thinking, I’m going insane like everyone else / They said I’d be going nuts and yeah, I’m starting to believe them / -7°C, I’m walking through the city park by myself / The down jacket is keeping me warm, but in my heart, there’s Alaska /
I don’t know what love is / No matter how much of it I get, I need more of it / It’s tearing me apart on the inside / When I, once again, don’t know where I’ll be getting it from / Even my therapist says, he doesn’t know any further / My dark side, it’s stronger than the good one / My youth was poisened, the future is uncertain / It is how it is yeah, it is how it is /
💙 Godsent by Smash Into Pieces 💙
I used to share, I used to care / The good in me is gone I'm bad / I used to give, I used to feel / The things you did will never heal / Take a look at me now / See what I've become / I will no longer feed the machine / Can't control the monster in me, no / The way that I feel / Makes it harder to breathe / When I'm thinking about you / The monster is real /
This makes me think of her in the Port Mafia.
💙 Boomerang by Smash Into Pieces 💙
I've been gone for a while now / But only to gain my power / I've been fighting my demons / And I'm back up on my feet (and now) / The harder you fall down / The stronger you come back later / Now I feel like an army / And I've only just begun /
This one in turn makes me think of her in the Agency.
💙 Circles (제자리) by G.Soul 💙
Oh, we know the ending / No matter how you escape / Here again / Always come back to me / Back again / Eventually / Here again / Why is it so hard to leave? / Here again / We always stay here […] / Answer me, I don’t know, no / Just don’t know / You’re getting stuck / Forever / Oh, we know the ending / No matter how you escape / Here again /
This makes me think of what Kouyou (I hope I am remembering her name correctly) was saying about her as a flower of darkness, as she was kind of turning in circles (no pun intended)–between wanting to be in the light and “accepting” that she only belongs into the darkness–at the beginning before she finally joined the Agency.
💙 Excuses (변명) by G.Soul 💙
I told you not to be too good to me / That it would make it too hard on you / No matter what you say now / I don’t hear a word of it […] / Even though I may be making a mistake / Even though I may regret this as time goes on / Baby, I think that we should just end it here now /
Even though the song in total has a different vibe (and story lmao), these parts of the lyrics makes me think of Kyouka telling Atsushi that there is no saving her, and that the light is no place for her (directly after saving her from the Port Mafia). It kinda makes me think of the part, specifically, where Atsushi suggests going on a “date” and at the end of it, Kyouka wants the last place they go to to be the police station.

💙 Sing To Me by Missio 💙
Somehow I got nominated as a king of sadness / Got so much I know that I could even feed the birds / And that's why / I prayed, I prayed, God sent me right to voicemail / It's like, all day my vanity is for sale / Take it away, my head is in my own hell /
Sing to me, I am not doing well / Getting tired of my own words / Sing to me 'cause I can't hear myself / Through the loudness of my own hurts / Call me selfish when I say this, say this / I'm kinda helpless, and I need you / Sing to me 'cause I'm not doing well /
Somebody told me that there's two sides to this life / I think I might've chosen darkness over light /
These two are two sides of the same coin, but no side is brighter than the other. I feel like they are kind of mirroring each other in the way they feel about themselves, which is why these lyrics mirror both of them towards each other as both are in need of salvation as they’re drowning in their own minds. Dazai is just better at hiding it from Atsushi.
💙 Namae wo yobu yo (Call A Name) by Luck Life (Season 1 Ending) 💙
I was searching / For the reason I’m able to remain as myself / If there’s a version of me / That exists within your heart / That even amid the darkness on this long, hilly road / I feel I can become a new me / Able to make my way through / So that each of us, walking our individual moments, can keep on smiling / So that we can keep moving forward, exploring the meaning of life together / I’ll call out a name / Your name / So that you can remain who you are /
Technically, lyrically it’s the entirety of the song, but I will not write down all of it lmao And it’s the Atsushi and Dazai parallels here again. It’s not just the ending with the animation that shows it for me, but the lyrics reflect both of them in them as well. I absolutely loved this ending. I never ship characters as I do not care about that, but I really love these two (separately)~ (What they mean for each other aka what they might mean for each other in the future [peace of mind/finding worth for Atsushi, and a reason to live for Dazai, etc.], how they’re already helping each other [Dazai helping Atsushi with feeling worthless, and Dazai finding a bit of piece of mind], etc. etc. etc.) I haven’t loved 2 characters in an anime as much as this in quite a long time (The last time was Kougami and Akane in Psycho Pass) as I find making up characters as complex as them and make them fit together as well as them/make them complement each other/balance each other out is actually pretty hard to do really well.
.
Making up this list took waaaaay longer than it should’ve. (I did not include Katai because I couldn’t think of a single song for him, sorry.)

Always Yours, Emily
Tumblr media
Chapter 3 - Lilian 
A/N: Its been a long time since I updated this story! Reviews are welcomed! This series is quite cute!  “Hey babe” Tito called as he walked inside the room, holding two cups of coffee. There was a photoshoot today with Emily’s friend Michelle and a couple of other models. Emily invited Tito to hang out with her since he had a day off, Mat was enjoying his day off with a couple of friends and would meet Michelle for dinner later. Emily was busy with Michelle’s make-up and the blonde looked over at him and she broke out into a grin “I knew you would make it!” She said jogging towards him and bringing him into a tight hug. He chuckled and he kissed her temple before handing her one of the coffee cups “Just how you like it too” He said, he always made sure to pay attention to the small details such as her coffee orders and the things she liked to snack on.. He always made a note to buy those snacks and put them in his apartment. Emily took a sip of her coffee and she hummed “My favorite.. Thank you so much” She whispered and leaned in to kiss him and he happily accepted the kiss. It wasn’t until there was a cough, they both forgot Michelle was there “You guys are cute and all, but I’m here.. Eagering waiting for that cup of coffee you’re holding” She said, smirking at the two. Tito chuckled and he went towards the model and hugged her “Always nice to see you too, Mich” He said and the woman smiled softly “I enjoy your company Ant” The two became fast friends with Tito dating Emily and Mat dating Michelle. It was a very new view on the world of the spotlight with Michelle being in it so much. He knew that it bothered Mat with people with cameras following him and Michelle and having to see the stories.. But dating Michelle was worth it to Mat. Michelle took a sip of her coffee and Emily went back to doing her make-up. Michelle was doing a shoot for H&M. Other models were there, but Michelle was expecting to be the huge billboard of Times Square. Something she was very excited about and Emily was super proud of. Soon the director called for Michelle and she got out of her chair and hugged her best friend “Thank you, I love it” She whispered and Emily smiled softly “Go kick some butt. Get on that billboard” Michelle smiled and she waved to Tito and Emily before leaving to get her pictures taken. The door closed and Emily sighed and sat in the chair “I’ve been here since early this morning.. The other make-up artist called out, she got a very bad stomach virus. So I’ve been doing all the models” Tito grabbed a chair and dragged it next to her and he sat down and held her hand “You’re doing an amazing job, I bet the girls all love the looks you gave them” She said and Emily let out a breath of laughter “Some do love the looks… Others are divas.” Emily said and Tito nodded. Suddenly the door opened and slammed shut and there was a model with bleach blonde hair with brown eyes, looking at Emily with narrowed eyes “Hey Emilia, fix my make-up” The woman said as she grabbed a chair and slammed it down the ground and set up, taking a seat. Tito narrowed his eyes a bit and Emily got up from her seat, not bothering to correct the model about her name and grabbed her kit and went towards the model “Okay Lilian,” Emily said, getting some blush out to touch up. Lilian narrowed her eyes and shook her head “Darker color.. I wanna make sure I pop out with the pictures, so they don’t use any photoshop” Emily nodded and removed the previous blush to add the new one. Lilian leaned back into her chair a bit and scoffed “My agent told me that this would be a good gig.. But it sucks. The director sucks. The other models are so not classy.. Don’t get me started on that Michelle Wilson” She spat and Emily frowned a bit and Lilian went on “She’s too overrated, everyone loves her, she’s like the stupid Hadid Sisters.. She doesn’t deserve the hype she’s getting” “Michelle has been very kind, she does lots of charity wo-” “Did I say you could speak?” Lilian snapped and Emily flinched and Tito was about to say something until Emily gave him a look and he sighed and sat back into his seat. Lilian went on “May I add you’re not the best make-up artist.. Your work is nice but I would rather Paisley.. Shame she’s gone today” Emily remained silent and Lilian shooed her away “I have to get back, have to take a couple of pictures with that overhyped wanna-be” She said hopping out of her chair and walking off. Once the door closed, Tito narrowed his eyes “What a bitch” “Thank god she’s not one of my usual clients. She’s someone else’s problem” Emily muttered as she closed her make-up items and put them back into her kit. Tito shook his head “I would have talked back to her, she think she’s all that” He muttered and she sighed “I’m not some famous make-up artist that could just talk back.. If I say something wrong, I could possibly be black-listed and my career is over. I just have to suck it up and go on” She said and Tito sighed “I just don’t like anyone talking to you like that” Emily smiled softly and she leaned down to kiss him “Thank you babe.. I can handle it” The two were catching up, Tito showing her pictures of the latest city he visit until the door opened and it was Michelle and Lilian, Lilian was laughing at something that Michelle said “Oh my god Michelle, you’re so funny!” Lilian said as Michelle shrugged “I wasn’t trying to be that funny” She said and Lilian smiled, but Emily could tell it was so fake and the blonde model nudged the brunette “We have to get dinner later, you could show me around New York” “Um.. Sure” Michelle said and Lilian nodded “It’s settled then! We could also talk about possibly you joining my father’s agency? He would love to have you with his company” She said and Michelle shook her head “Sorry, not interested, I’m fine with my agent. She looks after me” “Marie is washed up.. She doesn’t know what she’s doing anymore. My father’s company takes care of all of their models and you can have all the money and cars you want.. Get a better make-up artist while you’re at it” Michelle narrowed her eyes “I’m fine with what I have.. Thank you” She said, slightly annoyed. Lilian could sense it and she sat down and Emily went to do a touch up and Michelle took a seat next to Tito who was glaring daggers into Lilian. “I could get your a dinner appointment with him” The blonde bragged and Michelle shook her head “No thanks, I’m perfectly fine with my ‘washed-up agent’ she treats me well” Lilian narrowed her eyes and shrugged “Okay” Michelle got up and grabbed a water “I’m heading out there to speak with the director about a couple of looks” She said before smiling at Emily and Tito “Later you two” Emily smiled at her friend and went back to the task at hand and Lilian narrowed her eyes “Okay, I don’t need that much eyeliner, do you take me for a raccoon?” She asked and Emily’s eyes widened “Sorry!”   Lilian scoffed and got up and walked out “I need to finish this shoot so I can get away from all you trashy people” Tito got up and was about to say something until Emily grabbed his arm “Don’t, she’s just being an asshole right now..” Tito narrowed his eyes and sat down. Emily went towards him and sat down on his lap and he sighed “I don’t like this..” Emily smiled sadly and shook her head “It’s okay.. As I said, you get the bad ones sometimes. But you got the good ones like Michelle that treat you nicely, the nice ones always outshine the bad ones” Ttio sighed “You’re beautiful, why don’t you just model?” He asked and Emily shook her head “I may be beautiful to you.. But I don’t think I’m beautiful for the camera, I’m scared of being judged and being told I’m not good enough. Michelle has a tough skin and could deal with all of the comments and the media going after her..” Emily sighed and shook her head “I’m just some normal girl who could do amazing make-up. If it wasn’t for Marie who believed in me and for Michelle having so much trust in me, I would still be in LA, probably still making Youtube Videos and failing college” Tito nodded and he kissed her cheek “But you’re wrong..” He muttered and she looked at him and he had such a soft smile “You’re not just some normal girl who could do amazing make-up.. You’re the most amazing make-up artist who knows how to make women feel more beautiful with your art and your confidence, Michelle is real lucky to have you” Emily chuckled and she looked at him “How did I get so lucky with you?” She asked and Tito chuckled “I’m being honest” He said and the two laughed. It wasn’t until the door slammed and there was a screech, Lilian looking at Emily, fury in her eyes “Eva, get over here and fix my make-up.” She snapped and Emily got up but Tito stopped her and he cleared his throat “Her name is Emily, you could at least be respectful and know her name as she’s doing your make-up” Lilian narrowed her eyes at Tito “Who the hell let you in here? Security can’t do their job and let random strangers inside” Tito crossed his arms “I’m a guest of Michelle and Emily” He said and Lilian snorted “Well whoever the hell you are, get out of here. I don’t need to get distracted” She said and Tito laughed “And I don’t have to witness you treating this poor make-up artist who was kind enough to do your make-up today. If I was her, I would have walked out with how much of a bitch you’re being” Emily’s eyes widened and Lililan laughed “Well, one phone call and I can get her blacklisted and she never gets a job again. Don’t test me, you dick. Because I have all the right numbers in my phone” “Why? Because your daddy is the biggest agent? Newsflash” Tito said and smirked “No one really knows you as much as they know Michelle, and it’s killing you and probably your father that you’re not as good as her” Lilian took out her phone but they all heard a throat clear and there stood Michelle and the director, at the door-way. Michelle’s arms were crossed as she had a look and the director didn’t look very pleased. “So, you wanna keep on going on? Or you got more things to say” Michelle said and Lilian was stunned. She kept quiet. The director shook his head “Pack your things and leave, I don’t want this kind of work ethic and negative energy in this photoshoot. I’ll report to your father’s agency on how unprofessional you’ve been acting”
Lilian’s eyes widen “He won’t let me do anymore gigs if he hears about this! Please don’t” She begged and the director shook his head “You’ve done enough damage, treating this make-up artist poorly and speaking poorly of the other models? We are meant to help build each other up.. Not tear each other down. So leave” He said and marched off. Lilian grumbling and grabbing her things before the guards escorted her out. Michelle grabbed her arm as she stopped and she gave the disgraced model a smile “The next time I ever see you, trust me.. It won’t be pleasant. I’ve watched a lot of hockey fights, I learned a thing or two” She said and Lilian’s face paled and she walked off. Emily chuckled as she went to Michelle and hugged her friend “You don’t have to threaten anyone for me” “She was a bitch, hopefully karma get to her” She muttered and she looked over at the two “Come on, I’m finished anyways, we gotta go meet Mat for dinner.” The three of them smiled and got ready to go. Mat was chewing on his food as his eyes widened and he looked at Michelle “Did you really threaten someone by saying you watched us fight?” He said with a smile and Michelle narrowed her eyes playfully “I have to be threatening! She was treating everyone poorly” She said and Mat gave her a look “Michelle Wilson being a badass? Who the hell did I fall in love with?” He laughed and Michelle chuckled and punched his arm lightly “Oh yeah? You wanna be the first to get the fists of Michelle Wilson?” “I’m so scared!” Mat joked at her and Michelle pouted and Mat kissed her nose “I’m proud of you babe” Emily was sitting across the table and she reached forward to grab her friend’s hand “Thank you seriously..” She whispered and Michelle squeezed her friend’s hand “You’re my sister basically, I’m not going to let anyone mistreat you”

Hope Idiotic | Part 40
By David Himmel
Hope Idiotic is a serialized novel. Catch each new part every week on Monday and Thursday.
LOU AND MARK DRANK BEERS AT DOUBLE SHOT, the next-best local hole in the wall since Zigler’s Tavern was overrun by the ultra hip. On a Thursday night, Double Shot was busy with the perfect mixture of hipsters, frat boys and after-work stiffs. Lou and Mark liked it for its patron variety—a slice of Chicago life—the food, the affordable drink specials and the friendly waitresses.
It had been three months since Lou last saw and spoke to Michelle, but it seemed that every single conversation he and Mark had somehow led back to her. While Mark debated the benefits of L.A. and New York, Lou managed to connect Mark’s future to Michelle’s past.
“We never went to New York. We talked about it but never went. I wonder whether Michelle will move to L.A. She talked about that all the time; how she wanted to be closer to her parents and where it was warmer. Her firm has an office out there. God, wouldn’t that be weird if you and Michelle both moved to L.A.? I don’t know, I hate to think that Michelle…”
Mark slapped Lou across the face.
“What the fuck!”
“That’s it. No more.”
“No more what?”
“Every time you say her name, I’m going to smack you. Right across the face.”
“What? Michelle?” Mark slapped him again. “Oh, come on!”
“You have got to stop talking about her. You need to start moving on.”
It wasn’t that Lou was hung up on Michelle, it was that the past three years of his life had been so focused around her. She was central to everything, and it was all he had to talk about. Talking about anything before The Age of Michelle seemed entirely out of context. That’s the hardest part about breakups: finding a new definition of yourself. Since the breakup, Lou had continued sinking in a sea of whiskey and cigarette smoke while searching for that new definition among the fragments of the past three years. He didn’t talk about Michelle because he missed her; he talked about her because he didn’t know how not to.
“All right. Jesus,” Lou said. “No more Michelle.” SLAP! The sip of beer he had just taken shot out of his mouth and sprayed across the bar. “Goddammit!”
“Are you boys okay over here?” asked the cute waitress who had been serving them for the past two hours.
“We’re fine,” Mark said. “I’m just breaking my friend of a bad habit.”
“What habit would that be?”
“Talking too much,” he said.
“Okay then. Can I get you boys some more beers? It’ll help keep you quiet.” She looked at Lou and flirtatiously touched his arm. “Maybe some ice for your face?”
“Is it swelling up? Jesus, Mark.”
“No, sweetie, it’s fine. I’m just teasing you. Another round?”
“Yes, please,” Mark said.
“Did you see that? She was flirting with me,” Lou said.
“She flirts with everyone. That’s how she makes her money. Be careful of waitresses and female bartenders. They care less about you than strippers and work twice as hard to get you to like them.”
When she returned with the beers a few moments later, Lou asked her name.
“Niki,” she said.
“Niki, you are the best waitress we’ve ever had here. And we’re here all the time. Are you new?”
“Nope. I’ve been here about a year.”
“How is it possible that we’ve never seen you before?”
“I usually work the day shift. I have another waitressing job across town.”
“I guess we’ll have to start coming in here for lunch.”
“You’re getting creepy,” Mark said.
Niki smiled. “No, he’s fine. But unfortunately, this is my last day. I start a new job tomorrow.”
“Another bar?” Lou asked.
“Nope. A real, big-girl job. I’m going to be an assistant editor for a magazine.”
Lou’s eyes grew wide. “How about that,” Mark said.
“Which magazine?”
“Chicago Style.”
“Sure! I know that rag. It’s all society and fashion and travel.”
“That’s the one,” she said.
“You use freelancers?”
“Of course. That’s how I got the job.”
“Well, look I’m a writer, and if it’s okay I’ll send you some pitches, and you can throw some work my way, or both.” He dug into his wallet and pulled out a sad-looking homemade business card.
“Oh, that’s great! We’re getting ready to start putting together the next issue, so yeah, we’ll need some good story ideas. I’ll definitely email you.”
She asked if she could get them anything else at the moment, then returned to her other tables.
“Don’t let anyone ever tell you that nothing good comes out of drinking yourself stupid in a bar,” Lou said.
“You got a story in mind?”
“I don’t know. I did a little blog writing for a minute a while back for this interior-design guy. He does some pretty interesting stuff. Could be something there.” Mark gave him a look of uncertainty. “Hey, it’s not a column in Vanity Fair, but it’s a gig. And it’s a writing gig. Step by step. This wouldn’t have happened if I were still with Mich…” Mark raised his hand. “This wouldn’t have happened if I were still with What’s-her-face.” Mark took hold of his beer glass and raised it up in a toast. Lou did the same. “Shots?”
LOU WAS ABLE TO WRITE HIS STORIES FOR CHICAGO STYLE AT THE SHEET-METAL SHOP since business was so slow—the economy had affected the construction industry, as well; America as a whole, was on hold. The editor in chief loved his first piece on the interior designer. When the magazine hit the stands, Lou grabbed a free copy from one of the kiosks on the street. Seeing his name in a byline again made him feel incredible, like he belonged to the huddled masses. He went home that night and sent an email to every other Chicago magazine editor he could think of with clips of his stuff, including his most recent piece, asking them to keep him in mind for any assignments they have lying around and to forward their editorial calendars along so he could create story pitches to fit with each editor’s plan.
The work slowly came in. There wasn’t a magazine for which he wouldn’t write. There was Chicago Style, Chicago Brides, Chicago Agent, a rag for real estate agents about the real estate business, Avenue Magazine, a high-end society glossy, which seemed to exist solely for the city’s wealthy elite to be able to read stories about themselves. The stories were fluff pieces, advertorial junk, restaurant, bar and hotel reviews, travel stories about golf courses, and B & Bs that he never had visited, profiles of the movers and shakers throughout Chicagoland. It wasn’t the kind of writing for which he wanted to be known when he died, but he was racking up a few extra hundred bucks a month. Lou was back in the game.
And then he received an email from the HR manager at a small marketing/advertising agency called Spark. It did a lot of packaging, product development and brand marketing. The HR manager said she was looking for a copywriter to add to the team. She said she found his résumé on ProCore.
Holy shit, he thought. ProCore actually worked.
The company’s office was located in the West Loop in an old loft building that used to house the world’s leading casket manufacturer. His interview was held inside of a small conference room that had been where the oven that dried the casket’s wood stain had been. The room’s door was a giant metal fire door that required an inordinate amount of effort to open and close it. Lou liked the old industrial look of the office. It inspired the idea of manufacturing creativity—blood and sweat of the mind rather than with the body.
He had called in sick to Don at the shop so he could attend the interview. He managed to avoid drinking anything the night before to make sure he was at his best for the interview. It took him twenty minutes to fix his tie since he wanted to get it perfect. He styled his hair three different ways before settling on the way he usually wore it; casually combed over. Nothing could be out of place. Lou had to give the impression of his life. And he did. Despite his tendency to joke himself out of countless good situations when important matters were on the line, Lou charmed and impressed the HR manager. She pulled in the agency’s creative director, a friendly and confident guy named Ted, to meet with Lou. Ultimately, Lou’s employment was Ted’s decision and after an hour-long conversation, Lou had the job.
The smile never left Lou’s face as he rode the bus back to the apartment. The HR manager was at first impressed with his wide range of experience. Ted was looking for a clever mind to join the small creative team at Spark, which was made up of Ted and two designers. The crash had hurt the agency, and Ted was well aware that his may be the only one hiring creatives, but for it to survive, he said, it needed to provide its remaining clients with the best work possible and be ready when more work began coming in. That, and he wanted a writer who was going to approach the work from a different perspective. Ted was tired of working with copywriters who had spent their careers in advertising and who prayed daily to the almighty power of the Apple brand. Lou’s inexperience as an agency writer was a benefit. The compilation of his media, marketing, corporate communications and journalism was ideal. His starting salary was sixty thousand dollars a year, more than he’d ever made. He would begin as soon as he could gracefully walk away from the sheet-metal shop.
It was late afternoon when he got home, and he was excited to call Don, apologize for lying about being sick, admit to going on an interview and let him know that he would work another two weeks while Don found a replacement estimator. But first, he called Chuck to share the good news. Someone answered in Spanish, and Lou’s gut twisted as he remembered that Chuck wasn’t answering phone calls anymore. He quickly hung up and called me while he poured himself a glass of scotch.

Zlatko ist als Kandidat bei “Promi Big Brother” dabei: Das ist der Grund
Ein aktuelles Foto von Zlatko fehlt noch. Jahrelang lebte der Kult-Kandidat aus “Big Brother” abseits der Öffentlichkeit. Sat.1 hat jetzt seine Teilnahme bei “Promi Big Brother” bestätigt, aber noch nicht verraten, Zlatko heute aussieht. Er soll am Freitag in der Live-Show ins Haus einziehen.
“Willkommen zuhause, Zlatko!”, begrüßt der Sender seinen bis dato prominentesten Teilnehmer in der neuen “Promi Big Brother”-Staffel (Sat.1) in einem kurzen Video-Clip. Gemeint ist kein Geringerer als der ehemalige Kult-Kandidat Zlatko Trpkovski (43) aus der allerersten “Big Brother”-Staffel, die im Jahr 2000 für Furore sorgte.
Zlatko Trpkovski ist heute 43 Jahre alt: Comeback bei “Promi Big Brother”
Zusammen mit dem heutigen Ballermann-Star Jürgen Milski (55) bildete er damals das Container-Dreamteam der Auftaktstaffel. Während Milski Zweiter (102 Tage) wurde, musste Zlatko das Haus bereits nach 41 Tagen verlassen. Der Automechaniker brachte danach ein Album und einige Singles heraus und verabschiedete sich dann aus der Öffentlichkeit… bis zum heutigen Abend.
“Ich arbeite in meinem alten Beruf: Autos schrauben”, erklärt er im Interview mit der “Bild”-Zeitung, was er nach der TV-Karriere gemacht hat. “Ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich das wirklich wieder mache”, sagt er weiter über die “PBB”-Teilnahme. Warum er nun ins Rampenlicht zurückkehrt, hat einen simplen Grund: “Geld!”, so Zlatko.
“Geld”: Das ist der Grund für Zlatkos Teilnahme bei PromiBB
Für Jürgen Milski ist das keine Überraschung. “Ich wusste, wenn jemand mit der richtigen Summe um die Ecke kommt, wird man ihn irgendwann mal wieder im TV sehen. Was ich auch absolut verstehen kann”, erklärte er auf Anfrage der Nachrichtenagentur spot on news, nachdem ein Gerücht um Zlatkos Teilnahme am Dienstag aufgekommen war.
Wie viele frühere Zlatko-Fans könne es auch der 55-Jährige kaum erwarten, ihn wieder im TV-Knast zu sehen. “Ich freue mich sehr darauf, ihn an alter Wirkungsstätte wieder zu erleben! Ich bin sehr gespannt, in welche Richtung er sich in den letzten 18 Jahren entwickelt hat!” Die beiden haben sich seit 18 Jahren nicht mehr gesehen. “Ich glaube, er wird sehr polarisieren und hat das Zeug dazu, wieder zum Publikumsliebling zu werden”, meint Milski – der für eine Teilnahme übrigens nicht angefragt wurde.
Das sind die zwölf Kandidaten von “Promi Big Brother” 2019
Mit Zlatko sind für die neue “PBB”-Staffel nun zwölf Kandidaten bekannt: Partyschlagersänger Almklausi ist der andere Neuzugang. Bereits bestätigt waren: Schauspielerin Sylvia Leifheit, Ex-“GNTM”-Kandidatin Theresia Behrend Fischer, Ex-Dschungelkönig Joey Heindle, “Köln 50667”-Star Janine Pink, Ginger Costello-Wollersheim, Ex-“Bachelor”-Finalistin Eva Benetatou, Promi-Hellseherin Lilo von Kiesenwetter, Ex-“Love Island”-Kandidat Tobias Wegener, Jürgen Trovato aus der RTL-Dokusoap “Die Trovatos – Detektive decken auf” und YouTube-Star Chris “Killadigga” Manazidis.
Die erste Folge und damit der Einzug wird am heutigen Freitag, den 9. August, um 20:15 Uhr live in Sat.1 gezeigt. Ab Folge zwei wird die Show täglich um 22:15 Uhr ausgestrahlt. Das große Finale steigt in Folge 15 (23. August) wiederum um 20:15 Uhr.
  English
How does he look today?
Zlatko is a candidate for “Celebrity Big Brother”: That’s why
A current photo of Zlatko is still missing. For years, the cult candidate from “Big Brother” lived away from the public. Sat.1 has now confirmed its participation in “Celebrity Big Brother”, but has not yet revealed Zlatko looks today. He should move into the house on Friday in the live show.
“Welcome home, Zlatko!”, The station welcomes its hitherto most prominent participant in the new “Celebrity Big Brother” stats (Sat.1) in a short video clip . This refers to none other than the former cult candidate Zlatko Trpkovski (43) from the very first “Big Brother” season, which caused a sensation in the year 2000.
Zlatko Trpkovski is 43 years old today: Comeback at “Celebrity Big Brother”
At that time, together with today’s star of the jumper, Jürgen Milski (55), he formed the container dream team of the inaugural squadron. While Milski was second (102 days), Zlatko had to leave the house after 41 days. The car mechanic then brought out an album and a few singles and then said goodbye to the public … until this evening.
“I work in my old profession: Cars screw,” he explains in an interview with the “Bild” newspaper , what he has done after the TV career. “I’ve been thinking for a long time about whether I’ll really do that again,” he continues, commenting on the “PBB” participation. Why he now returns to the limelight has a simple reason: “Money!” Zlatko said.
“Money”: That’s the reason for Zlatko’s participation in CelebriBB
That’s no surprise for Jürgen Milski. “I knew that if somebody comes around the corner with the right amount of money, they’ll see him on TV someday, which I can absolutely understand,” he told spot on news agency after a rumor about Zlatko’s participation in the Tuesday had come up.
Like many former Zlatko fans, the 55-year-old could hardly wait to see him again in TV jail.”I am very much looking forward to seeing him at his old place of work! I am very curious to see how he has developed in the last 18 years!” The two have not seen each other for 18 years. “I think he’s going to polarize a lot and has what it takes to become a crowd pleaser again,” says Milski – who was not asked to attend, by the way.
These are the twelve candidates of “Celebrity Big Brother” 2019
With Zlatko, twelve candidates are now known for the new “PBB” season : party hit singer Almklausi is the other new signing. Already confirmed were: actress Sylvia Leifheit, former “GNTM” candidate Theresia Behrend Fischer, ex-jungle king Joey Heindle, “Cologne 50667” star Janine Pink, Ginger Costello-Wollersheim, former “Bachelor” finalist Eva Benetatou, celebrity Lilo von Kiesenwetter, former “Love Island” candidate Tobias Wegener, Jürgen Trovato from RTL’s docusoap “The Trovatos – Detective Reveals” and YouTube star Chris “Killadigga” Manazidis.
The first episode and thus the move-in will be shown live in Sat.1 today at 8:15 pm on Friday, August 9th. From episode two, the show will be broadcast daily at 22:15. The grand finale will be in episode 15 (23rd of August) again at 20:15.

Hop Take: The Beer Industry Grapples With Racism, Again
Dave Hyndman, owner and brewer of Reckless Brewing, recently made a series of truly terrible business and social media decisions regarding Reckless’s black lager, Surly Black.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Hyndman wrote, “I have something very serious to talk to you about today. It’s about the discrimination that I have observed in the craft beer industry. Specifically, the discrimination against black beers.” It then mimics Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech (“I have a dream of a world where beers are judged not by their color…”) and accuses those who have not tried this beer of being “anti-black-ite.”
The final, painful punchline: “I am renaming Sultry Black – Black Lagers Matter.” Signed, “the most woke brewery in town.”
This “woke” brewery also produces beers with such names as Crazy Stupid Bitch and Genocide.
Twitter and Facebook users reacted quickly, calling Hyndman out for being on his bigot bullsh*t for longer than this post’s brief existence. The posts were deleted, but several people, including a VinePair staff member, saved screenshots of the originals. We’ve shared one above.
Hyndman initially followed up with a “people can’t take a joke” non-apology. It sounded depressingly similar to last month‘s non-apology from Bill Metzger, formerly of Great Brewing News.
Later, Hyndman posted a lengthier reply, saying he is “incredibly sorry,” “would do anything to take it back,” and “the fact that people are calling me a racist is hurting me to the bone.” He notes that it “didn’t occur to [him] that it would be harmful or offensive.”
In his second statement, Hyndman joins a long line of people who apparently feel victimized when they’re made aware their racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive actions impact others. I couldn’t help but think of a similar sentiment written by Louis C.K. after a series of sexual assaults became public: “There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am.” (For what it’s worth, I don’t think Hyndman is as much of a psychopath as Louis C.K.)
I also started thinking about last month’s congressional hearing regarding Michael Cohen. When Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., accused Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., of racism, Meadows cried. Tlaib apologized.
I would have thought it would go without saying that a brewery should never, in any case whatsoever, promote itself or its beer by making light of Black Lives Matter.
I love black lagers and can think of many ways to get people excited about them. None involve making extremely hurtful “jokes” about black Americans who have been killed in their cars, in front of their children, and in the street. That does the opposite of make me thirsty for schwarzbier. It makes me ill.
‘World’s Most Refreshing Beer’ Needs a Refresh
After a recent announcement that it would be revamping its “World’s Most Refreshing Beer” bit, MillerCoors is launching a “creative agency review” for Coors Light, AdAge reports.
MillerCoors cited “the stated need to better connect with younger legal drinking age consumers” for the review. The current agency, 72andSunny, has worked with Coors Light since 2015.
Although Coors Light is the second best-selling beer in the country, right behind Bud Light, its sales have been declining, with shipment volume decreasing 6 percent last year. And considering the current #corntroversy affecting the beer industry’s biggest players, perhaps it’s time for the “world’s most refreshing beer” to hit refresh.
Bud Light Losing, Bud Light Orange Winning
Although Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) sales are declining in the U.S., the world’s biggest brewery reported 2018 global revenue growth of 4.8 percent, to more than $54.6 billion, Brewbound reports.
Volume, however, declined 0.3 percent worldwide, and U.S. revenue declined 0.7 percent.
Globally, Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Corona increased 9 percent in 2018 and account for more than 20 percent of AB InBev’s total revenue, Carlos Brito, AB InBev CEO, said.
In the U.S., although flagship brands like Bud Light are slipping, success of other “premium offerings” like Michelob Ultra, Michelob Ultra Pure Gold, Bon & Viv Spiked Seltzer, and Bud Light Orange are boosting market share.
It saddens me that consumers are moving away from beer — even regular ol’ Bud Light — and toward alternatives like Bud Light Orange and spiked seltzer. I’m a champion of beer in all its forms, but there is something disappointing about the need to make up for market share by moving further and further away from the core product.
Criminal-Inspired Wine Label Launches Beers
On March 1, 19 Crimes, a wine brand with labels inspired by 19th-century convicts, announced the launch of three craft beers: an IPA, a pilsner, and a lager.
The beers will be available in 6-packs for a suggested retail price of $12.99, and cans will feature the faces of “convicts-turned-colonists” John Boyle O’Reilly, Michael Harrington, and Cornelius Dwyer Kane, who were criminals sentenced to live in Australia and later became “pioneers in a frontier penal colony,” according to 19 Crimes. Like its wine bottles, the beer labels will have augmented reality capability, by way of the Living Wine Labels app. Users can scan the can and watch its respective visage tell their story.
“We know that our 19 Crimes wine lovers also highly index as consumers of craft beer … and our retailers and customers have been asking us to expand into other alcohol beverages,” Michelle Terry, CMO of Treasury Wine Estates, producer of 19 Crimes, said in a press release.
There are several examples of boutique brands successfully making both beer and wine, but this feels like a step backward. Beer is suffering as a category, losing market share to wine and spirits. The craft beer market is increasingly competitive with more than 7,000 breweries vying for consumer attention. Why, then, is a gimmicky wine brand entering the craft beer space?
Booze is confused. In a world where spiked seltzers are considered beers, the biggest beer corporations are investing in alcohol-free alternatives, and PBR is a whiskey, maybe it’s not so shocking that a millennial-facing wine brand would try its hand in the beer game. After all, it’d be criminal not to try.
