#in memoriam - the oh hellos

[hornet-s]

held her long and hard like a scream

[theohhelloslyrics]

well it's a long way out to reach the sea

but I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me,

and by the time I blink I'll see your wild arms swingin

just to meet me in the middle of the road

and you'll hold me like you'll never let me go,

and beside the salty water I could hold you close

but you are far too beautiful to love me

- In Memoriam, The Oh Hellos

[spindrifters]

[since-times-long-forgotten]

the oh hellos in memoriam save me

Holes in My Pockets Burned by Liar's Gold

“I don’t care about the money. I don’t care that you took the deal. I care that you got so caught up in feeling sorry for yourself that you abandoned your brothers when we- when I needed you.”

~~*~~

In which Jack never went back to the lodging house after the strike went south and didn’t see Race or any of the other newsies until the rally. When he finally comes home, talking about the latest plan to defeat Pulitzer, Race… has some words for him… to say the least.

Orion's Kiss

————

TFP Optimus x human!reader

A cute lil fic of you spending quality time with your autobot lover <3

Warnings: None

Word count: 747

————

It was an overcast night; the soft rumbling of thunder can be heard in the distance as Optimus Prime begins to return to the place, he unknowingly began to call home. The small pitter patter of water droplets on the asphalt reached his audial receptors. It will not be a good night to observe the Earth’s night sky, he thought.

In his alt form, Optimus Prime sped slightly faster than he usually would. He was eager to get out of this rain, but more eagerly, get home to you.

His spark mate, the love of his life. He had met you a little over a year ago, around the same time he met the other humans. Your protective nature over those kids made his spark sing, whether it was helping them with their homework, helping build projects or just sitting with them and listening to whatever was on their mind. He couldn’t help but smile as he observed you mothering them.

Optimus reached the base, drenched in rain and transformed back into his bot alt. He hums as he shakes the water off himself. He looks to the designated human area, expecting to find you laying on the couch bundled up in soft blankets, however you were no where to be found.

He looks to his old friend, huddled over the main computer. “Ratchet, do you perhaps know of (Y/n)’s whereabouts?”

“I saw her take the elevator up top,” He replies, not even looking up from his work. “Silly human will catch an illness in this kind of weather.”

Optimus hums, giving his medic a small pat on his shoulder plates, “Thank you, old friend. If you require my assistance, I shall be with her.”

Ratchet nods his helm, glancing a look back at Optimus as he walks towards the roof top access for the bots, then returns to his work.

Up on the roof, a small human sat with a raincoat. She was leaning against the many rocks stacked upward in the memoriam of their fallen team member. She shivered a little as the rain hits her cheeks. She starts to smile as she hears the rough sound of pedes behind her.

“Hey, love.” She smiles as her lover settles down beside her.

“Hello, my sweet spark,” Optimus greets, he looks down to his human. He follows her gaze which is pointed out towards the misty horizon. “May I ask, what are you doing out here in this weather?”

She hums, “Waiting for the stars to come back out to play.”

Optimus looks back down at her, a soft smile returns to his faceplates. The one thing out of everything that he admired about her, was her love of the stars. Often, they would venture out of Jasper to more unpopulated areas just to have a clearer view of the wonders of the galaxy. It was one of their favourite activities to do together. While on these dates, he can remember countless conversations about his experiences when he was Orion Pax, how his favourite place on Cybertron was the Observatory of Iacon. Oh, how he wished he could take her there, knowing how much her beautiful eyes would light up as she explored his most treasured location.

 Optimus holds out his servo to her. She could hear him doing so and took the invitation to climb up. He holds her close to his chassis, the soft thrumming of his spark making her relax. She sinks deeper into the embrace. Both sat there in comfortable silence, listening to the rain become less and less heavy until it became a soft sprinkle.

The lovers both watched as the moon began to break through the clouds. Optimus strokes his thumb over her back, the exhale of his vents indicating that he is completely relaxed. The clouds slowly dissipated over time, and the night sky began to make itself known.

“Look Optimus,” (Y/n) pointed towards a constellation in the sky, “There’s Orion’s belt.”

Optimus looks up towards where she was pointing. He softly chuckles as he brings his love closer to his face plate, giving her a light kiss. She happily returned the kiss, resting her hands on his face plate.

“And that, my love, was Orion’s kiss.” He presses his helm on her forehead, enjoying the little giggles that escaped from her.

The rest of the night was spent right there, enjoying each other’s embrace, and enjoying the wonders of the universe. He absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way.

IN MEMORIAM IS WAY TOO UNDERRATED LISTEN TO IT NOW!!

[twnstr]

✶ ──── don't bring me down ‘cause i dare to be different! the rise of twinstar’s girl group, teenstar

auditions were held in secret in 2015 as the agency performed as usual, being able to coast under the cover of their models and actors’ fame. the goal was to search far and wide for four girls who fit the twins’ standards—from vocal abilities to performance and presence to even their personalities. the trainees all underwent strenuous singing and dancing exams, all to see who would tap out and who would push on for the chance at stardom. and by the time 2016 rolled around, they had their polished four ready.

debuting with a bang in 2018, teenstar entered the idol scene with their hit debut song ‘달라달라! (dalla-dalla!)’. unashamed and loud, members hyewon, sora, loua, and janelle were introduced to the world in loud colors and an expressive anthem celebrating their differences and being proud of them. despite the debut’s commercial success, the song received mixed reviews from critics and new listeners eager to sink their claws into the company’s first dip into the music scene. due to their growing popularity, it wasn’t long until the girls had accumulated something akin to a diehard fanbase that gained a split reputation for either being some of the nicest people to rabid fans who would not stand any shred of negativity towards the girls.

it seemed that teenstar had it down to a science when it came to their discography, each song amassing millions of streams by both their dedicated fans and strongest haters. from pop ear worms fancy you and asap to fun! and hello! now becoming tik tok famous for silly edits, you were tuned in to whatever the girls brought out whether you liked it or not. the girls and company understood their fanbase, growing in popularity for being the girl group with the cute and energetic sound. though, like all stars, they seemed to be destined for an explosive demise.

the group disbanded not too long after the devastating loss of members sora and loua, leaving a gaping hole in the hearts of fans and the company alike. after three years of silence, an album of unreleased tracks would be released on the anniversary of their deaths to celebrate the talented lives they had lost in that horrible crash. to this day, fans still block off the street where twinstar is located in memoriam three times a year: on sora’s birthday, loua’s birthday, and the group’s debut anniversary.
