“what’s wrong with y/n?” theo asked draco, pointing towards the uncharacteristically quiet girl in the slytherin common room. “y’know family issues. the usual,” draco answered casually, barely looking up from his homework. 

“family issues?” theo asked with furrowed eyebrows. as far as theo knew, your family was one of the only normal, non-toxic, pureblood families within the community. aside from that, you were always so positive and happy that theo never would have suspected that something was going on in her life. “i’m going to talk to her,” theo decided, closing his potions textbook as he gathered his belongings and moved to sit next to you. 

“hi. i’m theo,” the boy said as he sat down next to you. “um hi,” you answered, eye flicking towards him nervously. “i just wanted to get to know you better, i hope that’s okay?” he said, eyes watching you intently. your breath hitched and a light blush coated your cheeks. “yeah that’s fine. i’m y/n,” you introduced yourself, settling back into your work. theo smiled before following your lead. 

weeks went by and you continued to meet up with theo. the two of you would hang out in the common room, great hall, library, or sometimes the astronomy tower. that’s where the two of you are now, sitting on the astronomy tower at midnight. theo was transfixed by you and the way your hair blew slightly in the cool breeze. your lips were moving as you confided in him, telling him the truth about your family. 

“and my mom, well she had her doubts. my dad was never around, so i did everything by myself,” you explained softly, swallowing down the bitter taste in your throat. “i’m sorry love,” theo whispered, placing a soft kiss on your cheek. 

“it’s fine theo, you couldn’t have known,” she replied, releasing a deep breath. “anyways i moved out this past summer,” you continued casually. theo’s eyebrows shot up in shock. “but you’re only sixteen.” “sixteen but twenty one,” you answered sadly, tears welling up in your eyes at the look of pity and realization that crossed theo’s face. “all i’m doing is coping,” you said softly as you finally let the tears pour while theo held you tightly in his arms.

I found this pic on Pinterest & I know like 10 things on the list lmao. How much are you aware of/know the stories behind, and maybe have stored in your large collection of various Jackass-related tomfoolery? (Like the "Too Hot for MTV" which I badly wanna see if possible lol)

https://pin.it/1u5rBYL3i

Just for credits sake, the person that made this iceberg is @loomisfallsgf

Tip of the Iceberg:

Most if not all of these are known-about mainstream things that most fans would know about. All of these things are available on the discord server.

Jackass the TV series (TURD remux & TV rips) & Movies (All available in varying qualities)

Viva La Bam, Jackass spin-off focused on Bam & the CKY crew. Basically a CKY series. (DVD & TV Rips & Spring Break special)

Big Brother Skate Videos, Boob, Crap, Shit & Number Two (not in that order) were movies that went along-side the Big Brother skateboard magazine, they're essentially early Jackass featuring folks that worked on the magazine in the early days, like Knoxville, Tremaine, Kosick, Cliver, etc. etc. A lot of folks that came from the magazine and videos ended up working on Jackass (These are on the server including a custom ISO with all the movies on it and a DVD menu etc.)

Jackass Shark Week & Shark Week 2.0 were discovery channel specials aired in 2021 & 2022 featuring some of the cast doing things with sharks, they're are both available in 1080p

Wildboyz, Jackass nature spin-off with Steve & Chris. (DVD & TV rips available)

CKY Skate Videos - Landspeed, CKY2K, CKY 3, CKY 4 & CKY the documentary. These were videos that the CKY crew made before Jackass, from when they were in high school to after Jackass began. Available on the server in DVD, VHS & Remastered versions.)

Dickhouse, the original production company for Jackass, run by the cast & crew & former big brother magazine workers.

Bad Grandpa & Bad Grandpa.5 were a Jackass Presents spin-off of the original movies featuring only Johnny, Spike and the crew of the Jackass franchise. The other cast members weren't told they were making it not were they asked to be in it. (Available on the server)

Wee-Man's chronic Tacos is Jason's side business, he runs multiple taco joints. He was meant to have a TV series focusing on this, but it never got picked up. We have the promo on the server tho.

r/Jackass is... well. I have nothing really to say about it. (We have all AMAs from there tho.)

Wendy from Peru refers to a dog that Steve saved from the streets of Peru while he was there filming Ultimate expedition. He still has Wendy. (The youtube video where he talks about Wendy is on the server.)

Bam's Unholy Union was a VLB spin-off that focused on the lead-up and planning of the Wedding between Bam & Missy back in 2008. Dunn was missing from it due to him dealing with his blood clot and Lyme disease issues. He attended the wedding and he was around but as far as I remember he wasn't featured regular. (Available in both DVD and TV rip quality on the server.)

CKY, I assume just refers to the band. We have their entire discography, DVDs, videos, specials, BTS, etc.

Steve-O's Rap. A bad time in his life, during the worst of his addiction, Steve made a rap album named "The worst asshole in Hip-hop." It was horrendous, is still horrendous and is a hard listen. (We have the full album & Bonus DVD on the server.)

Steve-O in clown college could refer to the actual attendance of clown college, but there is a video from his website specifically named that, so I assume it's talking about that. Yes we have that on the server.

Tier 2:

Jackass the Game: Released after Number 2 for DS, PSP Playstation 2, the game is pretty fun honestly and still a fun little game to play today. (We have the game files, the manual, the actual game, the videos & montages, the voice overs etc. on the vault.)

Big Brother Magazine, I'm not sure why this one is below the videos, because I feel like the magazine was more known but I digress. (We have a number of issues of BB magazine on the vault, not every issue but a good chunk with the intention of adding more soon.)

Rick Kosick, I mean... does this just refer to him in general or? Rick's a long-time member of the crew, who also wrote, edited, filmed/photographed for Big Brother Magazine & videos. He's been heavily featured in most of the Jackass franchise content.

HIM, being Bam's favourite Band and heavily featured in anything he produced. We do NOT have their entire discography on the server *yet.

Action Point is a 2018 movie that featured Johnny & Chris that told the story loosely of Action Park which was a condemned amusement park that really had no rules, regulations or cares. The movie is avaliable on the server along with a lot of other movies featuring Johnny.)

MTV's Dunn Tribute was a special that aired on MTV in 2011, it was a documentary about Dunn, his life, his career and featured interviews by his family members, the jackass cast and crew, Ape & Phil, etc. An absolute must watch if you haven't seen it. (Yes, it's on the server.)

Haggard was a 2003 film made by Bam & the CKY crew loosely telling the story of Ryan's fucked up relationship with Lauren, his girlfriend back in the early days. She cheated on him and treated him like garbage. Obviously the movie is CKY-core, so it's not all serious but it is a good movie and definitely a must-watch for any fan. (We have it on the server & a HD remaster version.)

Dudesons, self explanatory I think. 4 Finnish men who've been doing their own version of Jackass since before Jackass began. This is referring to the relationship the Jackass guys have with the dudesons who've been heavily featured in Jackass media, the guys have also featured in a lot of Dudesons media. (Yes, we had a dudesons collection but it's currently down.)

Homewrecker was a TV show hosted and featuring Ryan which saw him "redecorating" people's homes/bedrooms in absolutely insane ways while in between teaching at-home pranks and generally being Ryan. One of the only things that doesn't feature Bam along-side him. (Available on the server.)

Bam's Bad Ass Game Show came out in 2014, it was one of Bam's first moments of "recovery and coming back to TV" but it bombed pretty hard. It was just a typical game show, where folks took part in stunts to win. Novak featured heavily in it with him. It ran for one season. (Yes, it's on the server.)

Dr. Steve-O was considered lost media (not to us tho, we have it) and it was basically a shitshow at the beginning of Steve's lowest point. It was essentially Steve-O trying to turn "pussies/nerds" into real men who could get a woman. Hard watch, but if you haven't seen it, a vital part of Steve lore. (Yes, it's on the server.)

#FreeBam refers to the batshit insane, idiotic fucking stupid movement created by that dumb bitch "Thatsurprisewitness" whos obsession with Bam and attention led her to create a movement to specifically hinder any progress or healing Bam had the potential to make. It's essentially a movement to keep Bam unhealthy, struggling and leading him to his death. The movement specifically targets the Margera family with harassment and blames them for any time Bam tries to get help, claiming they're "harming him." Anyone who supports the movement hates Bam and wants to see him die, period, full stop. (We have got interviews with him by that silly bitch, but I'd never suggest to anyone to watch them.)

Minghags was a 2008 movie created by Bam & Dico. It was essentially supposed to be a sequel to Haggard but it isn't fully if you watch it. It's not good and doesn't compare to Haggard at all. I watched it once and have never watched it again. (Yes, it's on the server.)

Manny Puig is a nature dude who's heavily featured in Jackass, Wildboyz and Shark Week. They seeked him out and asked him to be on the show back when it was on TV and they enjoyed his energy so much he became basically part of the cast & crew. Manny's also had his own shows, such as Ultimate Predator and Savage Wild, which are nature shows. (Both available on the server.)

Bam VS HIM refers to the DVD "Love Metal Archives: Vol 1" which had a bonus disc featuring behind the scenes, storytelling and general buffoonery with Bam & Ville while working on the DVD & multiple music videos. (Yes it's on the server.)

Ignited Farts in bathtub, Turbonegro - I'm not sure what specifically these are referring to, especially Turbonegro, besides them being a band Bam liked.

Jackass by Sean Cliver I assume is referencing the Jackass the movie companion book. (It's available on the server.)

Tier 3:

Ultimate Predator, as mentioned above was a movie featuring Manny, talking about and encountering various wild animals. It featured a number of crew members from Wildboyz like Mark Rackley & members of Jackass like Johnny, Chris and Steve. (Yes it's on the server.)

Jackassworld.com was the original Jackass website which shut down a number of years ago. The cast & crew would regularly share videos and photos on the site that featured shenanegans in the dickhouse offices, interviews, skits, bits, behind the scenes and specials. The majority of content from the website is lost media, though we do have a number of the lost videos available on the server (not all), which includes the jackass road trip also mentioned in this iceberg, minus part 12 which was corrupted.

Bam's World Domination was supposed to be a multi-part series of Bam going around the world doing random shit, however after one episode it got dropped and they came out and said it would only be a one-episode special. It featured Bam, Ryan & Tim O'Connor travelling to England and partaking in the Tough Man Challenge obstacle course. (Yes, it's on the server.)

23 Hr takeover refers to the special takeover of MTV studios by the Cast and Crew in 2007. It was a 24-hour livestreamed event that started off pretty great and then devolved into chaos. Ryan was notably missing because he was still dealing with his Bloot clot & Lyme Disease, and Steve-O got kicked out of the studio for being too fucked up. The takeover was when people realised how bad Steve was. (We have 19 hours of the takeover & the best bits special on the server.)

Dunn's Lyme Disease refers to the diagnosis he recieved when he was being seen about his blood clot he got from filming the ending of Number 2.

Gnarkill was a CKY-esque comedy band featuring Dico & Bam. (Yes we have their full discography available)

OG Lambo tooth pull, refers to the original take of the stunt which originally featured Don Vito getting his tooth pulled. It was initially filmed for Number Two, however due to Vito's legal issues and subsequent ban from being on TV, the whole bit got pulled and never used. Bits of it have been seen before, notably the actual moment the tooth is pulled but the full skit is still lost.

Jackass backyard BBQ was a special from 2002 where the entire cast and crew got together to have a BBQ and a party. AFAIK it was originally on Jackassworld.com (Yes, it's on the server.)

I'm not sure why Steve-O out on bail is so far down the list, because it's one of Steve's mainstream videos. The 3rd in the Don't Try This At Home series. Steve filmed this while he was out on bail for drug smuggling if I remember correctly. He then got re-arrested during filming of it. (Yes, that and all the other old Steve-O movies are on the server.)

Jackass: Too Hot for MTV was never actually supposed to be released. It was leaked by a production member on dailymotion and features never-before-seen moments filmed for the show that they couldn't air, like the convict, the gun part of the self defense test, the original vomelette, the body in a dumpster, etc. Definitely a must-watch if you've never seen it. The quality is poor because it's a VHS rip. (Yes, it's on the server.)

Idk why the lost tapes are in here twice, nor do I know why they're below too hot for TV because it's much more known-about and also technically mainstream. It's basically too hot for MTV, but the approved released version.

PurpleStickey is the name of a band Rake is a member of.

Don Vito's Crimes refers to multiple legal issues Vito had pertaining to inappropriate touching, groping and underage molestation. This led to him being banned from portraying the Don Vito character on TV, meaning all bits they filmed with him for Jackass Number two (which was actually a lot) had to get cut and have never been seen. The limitation for him appearing in media is long past.

Darf is referring to Dave's drunk alter ego.

Tier 4:

Loomis Fall's music. Simply refers to Loomis's music, it's not well known and he's not really known as a muscian, but he has a couple albums out. (Yes, they're on the server.)

Novak's House refers to Novak's rehabilitation centre and journey.

Laskian Striggoi is Bam's made-up language he began creating at the beginning of his mental health collapse. He still regularly uses it.

Dave's one testicle, refers to... dave's one testicle. He lost it during a snowboarding accident, I'm not sure what year exactly.

Stephanie Hodge's Injury is referencing when she shattered her spine and pelvis doing a stunt with the cast where they were going down a large hill on random objects. She stated that she understood it was just an accident that couldn't be avoided and she said it helped her better her friendships with the guys, eventually getting better and starring in the movie with them.

Fuckface Unstoppable was Bam's attempt at a Gnarkill ripoff, but it never hit like it was meant to. Bam and FFU toured for a number of years and then after drama with Alex flamsteed, they stopped, their tours were batshit crazy filled with drugs, alcohol, novak dancing around stage naked, Nikki getting her tits out and Bam screaming drunk into the mic. (yes, we have their discography on the server.)

DiCamillo sisters, essentially was like Gnarkill but focused on a more pop sound. Featured Dico, Bam, Jimmy Pop, Raab & Rake. Mostly known for their song "why's it so cold?", I think that's really the only song they did. Oh, and Santa's coming, but that one was branded as a CKY song which I'm not sure why.

Wax.... a little too broad, I have no idea what this is about.

Jackass presents tribute to evel knevel was actually a Nitro Circus special which featured Johnny & Steve-O and was created by Jeff and the crew behind Jackass. Johnny ended up breaking his pelvis during a jump. (Yes, it's on the server.)

Jackass: The Beginning is a documentary about how Jackass started and the lead up to the first movie. It was featured on the bonus features of jackass 3. (Yes, it's on the server.)

KatieMarie88 references a youtube channel which used to host most, if not all, of the Jackassworld videos. A lot of them have disappeared and the channel isn't active anymore.

Bam's IG rants. Self explanatory, during his moments of mania/bad mental health, Bam goes on social media rants about his friends and family, talking bad about them and just being manic.

Jackassworld Roadtrip 2009 was a Jackassworld.com special that aired in 12 parts, it followed the Jackass cast on a roadtrip and visiting Steve-O in his rehab facility etc. (11 parts are on the server, part 12 is lost media.)

Scrad and Charlie refers to the characters Johnny played in Men in Black II.

Jenn Rivell ebay, I'm not sure about this one. Didn't know she ever had one, I only ever knew about Jess's ebay.

Tier 5:

Bam's Sex Tape, self explanatory. It was a sex tape with Jenn. Loud ass music, quality camera garbage and it was only around 1.5 minutes long. Used to be on pornhub but idk where you could find it now.

Steve-O's ghost story I think refers to the ghost story he told on H3's podcast, I'm not sure.

Jackass Totem Pole skit. This one.. ah. I wish we'd left this one out. It's referencing the blatantly racist Jackass skit in S3E9, where Preston, Jason and Steve don blackface with totem masks and the cast and crew threw things at them. We don't talk about the totem pole skit.

The Note (bar) was a local in WC which Bam and his friends regularly attended. It closed down in 2014.

Greg Wolfie Brozillian refers to a deleted scene from the 3rd movie where Wolfie gets a brazillian wax.

Dave on reddit, I'm not sure what this is specifically referring to.

Amanda Lanise Vadis Myres is the name of a woman who aggressively stalked Bam between 2011 - 2013. She was known as the "florida stalker" and she was caught inside his house masturbating over his bed where he was sleeping, he called the cops on her and she got arrested.

MTV Random Hero show was supposed to be a show featured around Ryan, who would seek out the next "Random hero" from contestants who partook in stunts and whatnot. It was never picked up, the most we got was a promo. (Which is available on the server.)

Extended Playgirl Pontius refers to the whole Playgirl pontius bit that was never aired due to the nudity.

OG Butt Chug refers to a never released bit from the original show, where Steve shot gun a beer through a tube in his nose, Knoxville said it was lame so he should shove it up his ass. He did, the footage never got released and they re-did it for the movie.

Zachary Hartwell was the passenger in Ryan Dunn's car during his 2011 car crash. Both of them were killed in the crash. He was a known friend to the Jackass cast and the CKY crew. Most of the reports about Dunn's death never mentioned Zachary.

Angelfire fan websites. Self explanatory. Basically tumblr blogs from back in the day before Tumblr.

Dreamseller, Novak's book title and documentary name. Tells the story of Novak's life through addiction, etc. (All available on the server, includes audiobooks.)

Ryan Dunn Haunted Car Parts is in reference to an ebay listing after Dunn's crash, people were selling parts of the wreck.

Tier 6:

Fanfiction, self explanatory.

FantASStic Whores 4 featured Bam and Novak and was essentially a porn movie where Bam had sex with Gina Lynn.

Barvarian Dumbasses Death refers to the death of a 20 y/o german man who was attempting to recreate a Jackass stunt for his amatuer Jackass social media pages with multiple of his friends.

Chris & Loomis on Rodge & Podge, self explanatory, they were featured on the show. (Not on the server.)

The career ending footage of steve-O is a bonus movie on the Don't try this at home first video. It features Steve masturbating and repeatedly cumming on his production manager's phone and keyboard in his office.

Cunt: the movie, idk about this one.

Ryan's last photo references the photo of Ryan and Zachary at the bar right before they left and got into the deadly car crash.

Stevie Lee was featured in Jackass 3, he died of a heart attack in 2020.

Steve-O's overdose is in reference to Steve's drug addiction climax before his intervention.

Bam's Bulimia, not a very well known fact about Bam but he's had bulimia since the early days. It's very briefly mentioned by Ry in some sort of special, but I can't place which one.

Desert Blues has no reason to be at the very bottom of the list, but regardless, this was a soft-porn movie featuring Johnny before he ever featured on TV or in Big Brother.

So basically, everything that is media on this list with the exception of the things I don't know about or the things I've specifically mentioned are lost media is available on the discord server.

[jossujb]

@puella-peanut tagged me into this, thanks :D

3 Ships: 

SPN: Sabriel. I mean like, there are people who ship Sam and Gabriel and then there are people who are wrong ahahahha xD

No but seriously, their character beats mirror each other, they are little brothers who got forced into situations they don’t wanna be in. Besides, tho Sam and Dean are the protagonists, the writers favored Dean that he became de facto the main character. Gabriel is one of the very few characters in the whole series who paid primary attention to Sam. I dunno, i ticks me, every time I think of I am done with this fandom I get fond feelings over them

Cobra Kai: Lawrusso. Oh my fucking god with these karate trainwrecks xDD No but, they kinda compliment each other too. Neither of them is completely stable in the head, Johnny is more outwardly trash, but sometimes I am like, you know, Daniel is kinda sad sod too xD Plus admire balls to the walls lets ruin our lived over karate kinda attitude. Mach made in karate heaven, I mean, what are the changes of finding that person who is just equally as fucking wild about the special interest. Besides I started karate classes myself because of these motherfuckers.

Jago & Litefoot: Prof. Litefoot/Mr. Jago :D I man, what I can even say, other than list Chronoclasm and tell me Litefoot didn’t just like declare his love in action right there. Not mention the the triangle drama with vampire, couple shenanigans on the run or in another universe. Jago was crying when he though Litefoot was stuck in that snowglobe and giving a full I love you speech. Only reason thy might not be in the books as canon is the fact that they’re both Victorian idiots who can’t express their emotions right.

Last song? Kiss from a Rose by Seal. I’ve been listening the Soundtrack album for Batman Forever on repeat for couple weeks now, I dunno. Gives me the feels.

Last movie? I watched the Puss in Boots in theaters. That was quite honestly the best movie of the year, not gonna lie.

Currently consuming: I have some sugar free ginger soda I bought from post xmas sale.

Currently watching: I am in the middle of Sophmore year on D20′s Fantasy High, even though I know I am not even getting more content for my shipping feels xD

Currently reading: I got a vintage edition o Yrjö Kokko’s fairytale Pessi & Illusia about a little troll boy and a fairy and that’s a classic. 

Currently craving: I just really want to eat all the sweet stuff, candy and chocolate and whatnot, but I am trying to be healthy so like. Suprssing those feels I guess.

Anyway, thanks for asking :D

Borealis - Illusions (2022)

Borealis – Illusions (2022)

Ultimul album Lannon mi-a plăcut foarte tare în special datorită stilului vocal pe care îl are Johnny Icon. Discurile Evergrey au mereu un soi de haikai în special datorită vocii lui Tom Englund. Iar recentul material Borealis aduce laolaltă tot ce-i mai sensibil din numele amintite. Și o face nu doar prin formidabila prestație vocală semnată Matt Marinelli, ci și dovedind că încadrarea în…

Christmas with Dionne

In 1993 Dionne Warwick joined Spanish opera singer Placido Domingo for his televised special event, Christmas in Vienna II.

Sometimes referred to as Celebration in Vienna, the pair were joined by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Mozart Boys Choir as they performed a mix of carols like O Holy Night and well-known songs such as Over The Rainbow.

“My Favorite Time of the Year” was Warwick’s 2004 Christmas album. With songs like Joy to the World, White Christmas, and a cover of My Favorite Things, it’s 13 classics sung by Dionne.

In 2019 Dionne released another album, “Dionne Warwick and The Voices of Christmas”. Unlike the 2004 version that only featured Gladys Knight as a guest, this one co-starred Johnny Mathis, Aloe Blacc, and Andra Day among others.

Besides watching the entire Vienna show at the first link above, the last two albums are official playlists on her YouTube account:

Nueva noticia publicada en LaFlecha

New Post has been published on https://laflecha.net/los-nominados-de-los-premios-grammy-2023/

Los nominados de los Premios Grammy 2023

Los temas “Easy On Me” de Adele, “Break My Soul” de Beyoncé y “As It Was” de Harry Styles, entre otros, han sido nominados en la categoría a Mejor Grabación del año para la 65ª entrega de los premios Grammy, que tendrá lugar el próximo 5 de febrero en Los Ángeles.

Además, Beyoncé (“Renaissance”), Adele (“30″), Bad Bunny (”Un Verano Sin Ti”) y Harry Styles (“Harry´s House”), entre otros, competirán en la categoría a Mejor Álbum del año.

Beyoncé lidera con nueve nominaciones, Kendrick Lamar le sigue de cerca con ocho, y Adele y Brandi Carlile con siete. Cuatro contendientes ingresan a la carrera con seis nominaciones cada uno: Future, Harry Styles, Mary J. Blige, DJ Khaled y Randy Merrill.

She is friends with WJSN XuanYi and Meiqi, besides that, she is friends with AKB48 Team SH, Liu Nian. All of them  were Produce 101 China contests.

She and her father moved to Macau due to her father’s businesses and her parent’s divorce. 

Became an NCT member in 2018 together with Kun, JungWoo, and Lucas. But didn't promote any song besides Boss and Yestoday. After promotions for Empathy ended, she went MIA. She would only appear three months later in Produce 101 China. Then in 2020, together with Shotaro and SungChan, she came back and promoted From Home.

She has had trouble sleeping since she was little and thinks she works better at night, so she is almost always the last one to record her parts in the songs as she finishes it by 1-3 am.

Due to that, she used to share the dorm with her manager (HaYeon), because if she had an insomnia crisis the manager could help her without waking up the other members.

She had a nose job, a septoplasty, that helped her breathe better. Due to allergies, she always felt her nose was "closed".

Even though she likes dancing and is good at freestyle, she is kinda slow when grabbing choreography, so the choreographers and Kun + MarkTae (when she had BOSS + Resonance) always try to help her, going until sunrise passing the choreography slowly, so she could understand. She felt bad taking precious sleeping hours from the members but they always say it is fine.

She can speak Mandarin almost fluently, due to the increasing number of Chinese people that are going to Portugal, she decided to learn the language and help some of her school friends (she started when she was 7). And then living in Macau helped too.

She was scouted in an EXO show in Macau in 2015 (when she was 13). Her actual Manager, HaYeon at the time was a scouter and asked if she wanted to audition in SM ent. She auctioned and started training in 2016. 

As the years passed, she thought that she would debut together with Ningning as they were the only SM trainees that continued at the company.

She debuted in Rocket girls together with XuanYi and Meiqi from Cosmic Girls. When both Cosmic Girls' members were withdrawn from the Group, Maeve was too, due to the inability to arrange a contract. But after a while, it was announced that they came to an agreement, and  Maeve was going to promote together with them. She was promoted with the group from June 2018 - June 2020. Rocket Girl’s last EP was in May 2020.

When promoted in China she was a Zhang Yixing Studios trainee. Then when she debuted at WayV she became a Label V artist.

SM couldn't debut in WayV in 2019 due to the fact she had competed in Produce 101 China. 

As a WayV member, she only took part in Resonance and Kick Back comebacks.

Fans are speculating that Yuta, Maeve, and Shotaro will form the Japanese subunit. Fans also speculate Maeve will enter a hiatus in WayV (just like WinWin and 127) when the Japanese subunit comes around.

You Can’t Keep My Friends

Pairing: Mikey Way x Reader

Genre: Romance, Drama

Summary: Written for Gothtober 2020, Day 4. Prompt: “Bat Country”. 

It’s the summer of 2005, and you, and the other members of My Chemical Romance, are on Warped Tour. You start making friends with your tour-mates, Avenged Sevenfold. But, an unexpected comment from their guitarist, makes Mikey jealous. 

You were relaxing on your tour bus, reading the new issue of Fangoria, when you heard a knock at the door. You got up, wondering who it could be. 

“Hi,” greeted an unfamiliar, black-haired man, when you opened the door. “Is Mikey here?” 

“Sorry,” you shrugged. “He’s not around. I think he went over to Fall Out Boy’s bus, to hang out with Pete.” 

“That’s okay,” the man shrugged, brushing his bangs out of his eyes. “Oh, I guess I should introduce myself.” 

“Yeah, what’s your name?” you wondered. 

“I’m Zacky Vengeance,” the man smiled. “Ok….I’m actually Zacky Baker. But, you gotta admit, my stage name sounds cooler.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Vengeance,” you laughed. “I’m Y/N.” 

“You plays drums for My Chem, right?” Zacky guessed. 

“Yeah, that’s right,” you nodded. 

“I’m in Avenged Sevenfold,” Zacky explained. “I play guitar.” 

“Good to know,” you smiled. “Did you want me to tell Mikey, when I see him, that you stopped by?”

“I actually wanted to thank him,” Zacky confessed. “Our bassist, Johnny, broke one of his strings during soundcheck.” 

“Oh, that sucks,” you said sympathetically. 

“Yeah, and somehow, we couldn’t find our replacement strings anywhere!” Zacky frowned. “But, thankfully, Mikey let us borrow some of his.” 

“Oh, that was nice of him,” you replied. He really is a kind person, always going out of his way to help others. It was one of the things you liked most about him. 

“I wanted to give him this, as a thank you,” Zacky said, pulling a beer bottle out of his pants pocket. “Could you give it to him, for me?”

“Sure,” you shrugged, taking the bottle. “I’ll put it in the fridge for him, and let him know it’s there, when he comes back.” 

“Thanks, Y/N,” Zacky smiled. “It was nice meeting you.” 

“Yeah, you too, dude,” you replied. This was one of your favorite parts of Warped Tour - you always made new friends, with other bands. 

Now, you thought, back to reading about the new Romero movie.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You looked up from the page, when you heard the bus door open. 

“Hey, Y/N,” Mikey greeted, wiping sweat off his forehead. 

“Hey,” you smiled back. “Hot out there today?”

“Scorching,” Mikey laughed. “What’s up?” 

“Zacky from Avenged Sevenfold was here,” you explained. “He gave me a beer, to give to you. He said thanks for helping them out.” 

“Oh, sweet!” Mikey grinned. He went into the fridge, took out the beer, and twisted the cap open. “He got me my favorite kind, too!” 

“I wish we had our own supply, this year,” you confessed. 

“Well, Gerard’s trying to stay sober,” Mikey pointed out, taking a sip. “So, for his sake, we can’t really keep them on the bus, like we did last summer.”

“Yeah, you’re right,” you sighed. “I was being selfish.” 

“If you want one, I’ll try and find you some,” Mikey offered, having another swig. 

“Nah,” you declined. “It’s not like I need it that badly.” 

“Speaking of which,” Mikey wondered, “where is Gerard?”

Your vocalist had been staying on the bus, like a hermit, for most of the tour. It had to be boring for him. But, you supposed it was the best way, for him to avoid temptation. 

“Apparently there’s a comic book shop, not far from the venue,” you explained. 

“Oh, so, he went shopping?” Mikey realized, finishing his drink, and tossing the bottle into a trash bin. 

“Yeah,” you nodded. “I mean, we’re not going onstage, til like, eight o clock tonight, so he’s got plenty of time, to get there and back.” 

“That’s true,” Mikey reasoned. “It’s kinda crazy, isn’t it? How when Warped Tour started last summer, we were on at like, midday, because nobody knew who we were…”

“And then our time slot got moved!” you recalled. “Because suddenly, Revenge was like, the hottest album of the year.” 

“And now, this summer, we’re headlining,” Mikey said proudly. 

“We really have come a long way,” you agreed. 

“Since we have so much time on our hands,” Mikey suggested, “do you want to go check out Avenged Sevenfold’s set?” 

“Sure!” you agreed. “Do we need to take a couple security guys with us?” 

“Nah,” Mikey chuckled. “Just put your sunglasses on, and your hood up, and we’ll be fine.”

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You joined the crowd, just as the band was starting to take the stage. The vocalist, you noticed, was a buff-looking guy in a muscle tank, wearing a backwards baseball cap. He was almost the antithesis of Gerard’s pretty-boy aesthetic. 

“I’ve met him,” Mikey said, following your gaze. “He’s actually a pretty cool guy.” 

“What’s his name?” you wondered. 

“He calls himself M. Shadows,” Mikey replied. 

“Edgy,” you joked. 

“Maybe I’m the lame one, for using my real name,” Mikey considered. “I could have been, I dunno, Mikey Nightmare, or something.”

“I like your name,” you assured him, taking his hand. 

Mikey blushed. 

“WHAT’S UP, DENVER?!” M. Shadows screamed into the microphone. 

“....Is that where we are today?” you blinked. 

“I guess,” Mikey chuckled. “I’ll be honest, the cities start to blur together, after a while.”

“WHO WANTS TO HEAR A SONG OFF OUR NEW ALBUM?”, M. Shadows bellowed. 

The crowd cheered. 

“ALRIGHT!”,” the singer announced. “THIS SONG IS CALLED….BAT  COUNTRY!”

You banged your head to the beat, as Avenged Sevenfold launched into the song:

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay

I tried to drive all through the night

The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights

No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone)

Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction

My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone)

No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

After the set ended, you and Mikey showed your passes to their security guy, and walked backstage. 

“Dude, your show was amazing!” Mikey complimented. 

“Oh, hey, Mikey!” Zacky grinned. “Y/N, you came to watch, too?”

“Yeah,” you smiled. “He’s right, you guys really killed it up there today.”

“Thanks,” Zacky replied. “Oh, hey, let me introduce you to the rest of the guys!” 

“Sure!” you nodded. 

“This is my man, Synyster Gates,” Zacky introduced, indicating a man in a grey hat. “But, you can call him Syn.” 

“Hi, Syn,” you greeted. 

“Hey,” Syn waved. “Nice to meet you. I’m the other guitarist.” 

“He’s lead guitar, and I’m rhythm guitar,” Zacky explained. 

“Oh, so, basically, the same setup that Ray and Frank have,” you figured. 

“I feel like I need to meet this Frank guy sometime,” Zacky quipped. “People keep telling me I look like him.”

“You kinda do,” you confessed. You glanced over at the drummer, who was sitting down in a folding chair. “Does he have a heavy metal stage name, too?”

“I’m the Reverend Tholomew Plague,” the drummer grinned. “But, my friends call me Rev.” 

“Hi, Rev,” you chuckled. “I’m Y/N.” 

“Nice to meet you,” Rev replied. 

“I’m Johnny Christ,” said a third man, who sported a fauxhawk. “Hey, Mikey, thanks again for the assist earlier!” 

“No problem, dude,” Mikey said casually. “Where’d Shadows run off to?”

“He went to get drinks for everybody,” Zacky told him. “I’ll text him, and tell him to bring two extra, for you guys.” 

“Thanks,” you smiled. 

Just then, a summer breeze blew through the backstage area, sending Syn’s hat, flying off his head. 

“Shit!” Syn swore, watching his hat blow further away, back onto the main stage. “This is why I hate outdoor venues.” 

“I’ll go get that for you,” you offered. 

“Thanks,” Syn said gratefully. “Quick, before it blows over the barricade!” 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You ducked past the crew members, who were taking down Avenged Sevenfold’s banners, and preparing the stage for the next band. The Offspring, if you weren’t mistaken, were supposed to go on in an hour. 

A tech was taking down Rev’s drum kit, and setting up Atom Willard’s. You spotted the hat, next to the bass drum. 

“Excuse me,” you muttered. The drum tech got out of your way, and let you take the hat. 

“Oh my god!” you heard a fan gasp, who was still by the barricade. “That’s Y/N, from MCR!” 

You turned, looking at the gaggle of teenagers. They had probably stuck around, so they didn’t lose their front row seats. 

“Y/N!” a second fan called out. “Will you please sign my shirt?” 

“Sure,” you smiled. You leaned over the edge of the stage, taking a marker that was held out to you. You signed your name on the blushing teen’s band shirt. 

“Thank you so much!” he gasped. “I can’t wait to see you and the guys perform tonight!” 

“Thank you for coming to see us,” you replied. 

“Y/N, will you sign my ticket stub?” another fan pleaded. 

“Yeah, why not?” you acquiesced. You stayed by the barricade for a few moments, signing autographs, and posing for pictures. 

“Alright, guys,” you said finally. “I really do need to go give Synyster his hat back.” 

“Ok!” the fans said agreeably. “Thank you for taking time for us! Say hi to Gerard and Frankie for us when you see them!” 

“Will do,” you chuckled. The MCRmy were such nice kids. It made you feel special, to be loved by such a great group of people. 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You were about to turn the corner, and re-enter the backstage area. But, you froze, when you heard your name. You realized, that the guys were talking about you. 

“So,” you heard Zacky ask, “is Y/N single?” 

“Uh….,” Mikey hesitated. “Yeah, as far as I know, she’s not seeing anyone.” 

“That’s surprising,” Syn commented. “She’s, like, really pretty.” 

“If I asked her out,” Zacky wondered, “do you think she’d say yes?” 

What?!, you stifled a gasp. Zacky was interested in you?

“No!” Mikey blurted out. “You definitely don’t want to do that!” 

“Why not?” you snapped, revealing herself. “You think I’d be a super annoying person to date?” 

“Y/N?” Mikey gasped, turning his head around, towards you. “How long have you been standing there?”

“Long enough,” you frowned. “Why are you warning people not to ask me out? Am I that unattractive, when I don’t have my stage makeup on?” 

“No!” Mikey said quickly. “Fuck, that’s not what I meant, either!” 

“Then, what did you mean?” you demanded. 

“I….,” Mikey trailed off, his whole face turning red. “I can’t tell you.” 

“Bullshit,” you barked. “Here’s your stupid hat, Syn.” 

You practically threw it at the guitarist, then turned, and began walking away. 

“Where are you going?” Mikey cried, following you. 

“Back to the bus!” you growled, walking faster. 

“Y/N, please, slow down!” Mikey begged, jogging to keep up with you. 

“No! Buzz off!” you told him. Your cheeks burned. 

Does he think I’d be a shitty, clingy girlfriend? you wondered. Why would he tell some complete stranger, that I’m not worth dating? I should’ve known...he’d never be interested in me. 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

You climbed back onto the bus, and immediately threw yourself into your bunk. You pulled the curtains around you, as if you were going to sleep. 

Mikey pulled the curtain back again, and sat beside you. 

“Can we please talk?” he implored you. 

“What is there to talk about?” you huffed. 

“Y/N, I’m sorry,” Mikey said gently. “Look...do you really want to date Zacky? If that’s what will make you happy….I’ll go back there, and I’ll tell him to shoot his shot. I can even give him your number.” 

“I don’t want to date Zacky,” you confessed. 

I want to date you, you stupid man. You wished you could tell him that, but you didn’t have the guts. But, that will never happen. 

“I didn’t tell Zacky, not to ask you out, because I think you’re annoying, or unattractive,” Mikey explained. 

“Then, why did you say it?” you demanded, wiping tears on your sleeve. 

“I said it because….,” Mikey hesitated. 

“Spit it out,” you insisted. 

“I said it, because I wanted to ask you out myself,” Mikey said finally. 

“Wh…..What?!”

“I’ve been trying to find the balls, to ask you out, all summer,” Mikey confessed, reddening. “But, I could never find the right time, or the words. I’m an idiot.”

“You’re not an idiot,” you said softly, moving closer to him. 

“I have no right, to tell you who to be with,” Mikey sighed. “Y/N, I hope I haven’t ruined our friendship, by telling you how I feel about you. I understand, if you aren’t interested in…”

“I’m interested,” you interrupted. 

“Huh?” Mikey’s eyes widened behind his glasses. 

“I’ve been interested in you for a long time,” you confessed. “I just didn’t have the balls to tell you, either.”

We’re both idiots. 

You leaned over, and lay your lips on his. He kissed you back, eagerly grabbing you, pulling you closer. You kissed him, again, and again. 

“....So,” Mikey gasped breathlessly, coming up for air, “does this mean you and I are dating now?”

“Now,” you grinned, grabbing him by the collar, “and forever.”

How NCT 127 would confess to you

A/N: This took way longer than it was intended, but here it is! Hope you enjoy~

Taeil

Taeil went over the plan at least 50 times to make sure the delivery would be as smooth as he hoped it would be

Probably couldn’t really sleep the night before cause what if you reject him????

Plans on singing a love song specially for you, like a private mini concert in a rented out café you two frequent a lot

When you get to your usual hangout spot, the lights were out and you were confused af

But then as the lights went back on again you saw Taeil standing on a makeshift stage and the café was decorated with cute fairy lights and balloons and all

Then music started playing as he serenaded you sweetly and honestly you were already sold from the minute he started singing ngl

Kinda messes up what he prepared to say to you afterwards because he doesn’t want to screw it up but also when he looks at you his mind kinda goes blank

So happy and relieved when you tell him the feeling’s mutual that he lowkey almost tripped on the way back to his seat cause he lost feeling in both his legs

Lots of shy and awkward gazing and blushing on both parts, but when you meet each other’s gaze he gives you the brightest smile ever

Overall just really adorable????

Johnny

I swear 10/10 this guy had something elaborate and romantic planned out the moment he realized his feelings for you

Would probably pull out something kinda cheesy to impress you, like playing your favorite song on the piano (or teaching you how to play,       o o f)

I can see him taking you on walks around the city afterwards, someplace quiet with a nice scenery that would provide a nice backdrop for his confession

Tells you he’s gonna go pick up a call real quick, then kinda disappears

You get lowkey angry like wtf Johnny w h a t are you doing, but then he sends you text messages to a sort of scavenger hunt

Was actually planning on just telling you verbally what you mean to him and how he feels for you but then realized he’s not really good at doing that face to face so this is his fun alternative

Anyways, he gives you hints and directions through text message and at each ‘landmark’ he directs you to, you find small notes where he wrote down what exactly he likes about you and moments he realized he’s in love with you

Basically the boi wrote you a love letter but scattered around at least 7 different spots while he’s hiding who knows where

By the time you get to the final spot you see him standing in front of you with a large bouquet in his hands (for you) and this silly grin on his face

Lowkey almost moved you to tears as he told you he likes you

You spend the night looking at the stars and walking hand in hand as you two talk about anything and everything at the same time

Taeyong

Y’know those smooth pick-up lines he pulls out of his sleeves? Yeah, prepare for those cause they are definitely coming your way

Would probably go for a sweet and sentimental confession

Lowkey tries to hint at his feelings for you by recommending love songs every now and then

One day he randomly shows up at your doorstep with your favorite flowers in one hand and a gift in the other (and also some snacks and sweets cause why the heck not)

I can see him gifting you something very meaningful, like a photo album with pictures of you two and places you went together or an entire playlist of songs that made him think of you

You thought it’d just be a normal hangout with your best friend

But then he tries to coyly recommend a song to you and asks you to listen to it and tell him what you think of it

5 seconds in you realize it’s actually him singing a self-made confession song for you

He gets embarrassed halfway through you listening to the song cause you keep staring at him with this touched expression on your face

But when the song’s over you’re just kind of left speechless until you tell him “me too.. I like you too” and it’s like his heart stopped skipping a beat and he was sent straight to heaven on earth

All in all just a really sweet and thoughtful confession asdfghjkl;

Yuta

Ever since Yuta realized how he felt toward you, he’s been trying his best to not impulsively blurt out that he likes you, especially because he’s not sure if it’s mutual

Occasionally can’t help but murmur “you’re so cute” under his breath when he’s spending time with you though

You know he tends to be quite playful and flirtatious around you, so whenever he tries to make advances you just play it off as him joking around (half the time he’s actually seriously stopping himself from stealing a kiss ngl)

One day he decides to ask you out on a date over the phone and you agree thinking it’s just him being goofy again cause what else could it be??

Yuta takes you on a hiking date, aiming to take you to this nice and scenic viewpoint and confess there

But things take a different turn when halfway through the hike you realize that he was actually being serious about this date and he realizes you thought he was playing around

Then he kind of goes off on this impulsive rant like ‘Damn it Y/N I’ve been flirting with you for an entire year why do you keep thinking I’m not being serious about this’ and yeah he kind of floops out that he’s been crushing on you ever since y’all met

So things didn’t really go as planned but you had a serious conversation about it and by the time you reached the viewpoint you were already holding hands and smiling fondly at each other :’)

Doyoung

Has been torn for weeks about how to confess to you and it’s showing

He wants to plan something that would make sure you knew how much he cared about you, so he scoured every possible source he could find, including the internet, all his good friends he could confide into, and even asked his parents who confessed to the other and how..

Anyways, when Doyoung meets up with you he still hasn’t made his mind about how to confess

And technically he wasn’t planning on doing so either, until he saw how battered up you looked from an ugly fall off the stairs last week and how you tried to hide that wearing a big hoodie and sunglasses

During winter

You thought he didn’t notice though until he kind of had enough of your act and just pulled off the hoodie from your head and took off your glasses to reveal this bigass purple bruise on your face, still evident beneath your make-up

Doyoung couldn’t help seeing you so vulnerable and inattentive toward your own wellbeing and so gave you an entire lecture nagging at you to be more careful

Over the next few days he comes by unannounced to check the safety of basically your entire home to make sure you wouldn’t trip again and also takes care of your bruise and minor grazes on your arms and knees

And it just so happened that he accidentally murmured “How did I fall in love with such a clumsy human being” just when he thought you didn’t hear it

You replied with “How did I fall in love with such a nagging mom-figure” and well, the rest is history :’)

Jaehyun 

Actually, you kind of knew for a while now that he probably had a crush on you because of that one time he accidentally sent a text to you that said “I don’t know what to do, should I confess to Y/N?”

You read the message before he quickly deleted it and since then both of you pretended that never happened

Anyways, I can see Jaehyun taking you out for a nice dinner at this new and trendy restaurant (complete with lit candles and fancy music and all)

He’d try his best to appear calm and composed, and he would’ve succeeded had his hands not been trembling when he poured more wine in both your glasses

Probably has this whole speech ready in his back pocket just in case he forgot what he wanted to say

But before he can start on that you casually say “So is this how you’re planning on confessing to me?” and Jaehyun automatically answers yes before he’s processed that you in fact knew all along how he felt for you

You let him finish his confession speech though cause he worked so hard on it, and you obviously accept to be his girlfriend

He even prepared a little surprise for you together with the staff, it was a cute cake with both your names in the shape of a heart

The date ends with you two talking and having fun conversations at the restaurant until it closed (and you had to be kicked out)

Jungwoo

I see so many ways in which Jungwoo would confess, simply cause he can be so shy and reserved but also really sassy and goofy at the same time

Anyways, I think he’d go for something a little more subtle than his hyungs would, kinda secret admirer style?

The first time you realized you had a secret admirer was when you found a note in your bag containing a compliment directed toward you and a cute drawing next to it

You thought it was really sweet and so Jungwoo continued sending you love notes and putting it in random but somewhat inconspicuous spots, like your locker, your books, etc.

This went on for a couple of months until one day Jungwoo decied it was time to make it known that he was the secret admirer, so he started announcing in a note that he was someone you knew well

That’s when you started finding notes at the most random of places: inside your phonecase, heck even the inside of your shoe

You had absolutely no clue who this person was and were growing kind of agitated at the fact that you couldn’t send him notes back, until Jungwoo slipped up once and complimented you in the exact same way as your secret admirer did

On the day he planned to confess, you were just casually studying together (or more like, you were trying to study and he was just staring at you boredly)

Jungwoo waited patiently until you finished, then told you you had something stuck in your hair

And as you reached for it, you found it to be a folded piece of paper stating “I like you”, with Jungwoo smiling knowingly at you

Mark

Would be a panicking mess, let’s be real

Asks all the hyungs for advice on what to do

Mark would take you to someplace special for the both of you, like the place you first met or where he first realized he has feelings for you

He wouldn’t hold a big speech or make it into a big event, he’d want to keep it simple and to the point so as not to burden you too much

I see him just wanting to make it a fun day when you two meet up, confession or not

Like a walk along the river or at a park, some icecream, maybe even biking or (roller)skating around and picknicking

Tries to find the right timing to break the news to you, fails miserably at doing so most of the time

You knew he had something to say though cause he avoided making direct eye contact with you throughout the entire day

But when he’s ready, he musters up all his courage, coughs a little as a way of making clear that he has something to say, and then just goes for it

Panics halfway through the confession, like he just turns into this shy blushy mess, especially when he stutters or messes up his words

Kinda rambles his way through it but looks you directly in the eye when he says that he likes you

Would add something like “I hope this doesn’t affect our friendship” after confessing cause that’s legit been the nr. 1 reason why he was hesitating confessing to you

Overall would be really nervous about it, but also very sweet and sincere!

Haechan

9/10 would go for an over the top public confession, just cause he can

You two met up at this arcade, your usual hangout spot to relieve yourselves from stress and play fun games together

You originally thought it would be just a normal day meeting up with your longtime friend, but turns out you were completely wrong 

Cause the minute you stepped into the venue, you were met with all kinds of festive decorations, balloons, and familiar faces shouting “SURPRISE!!!” at the top of their lungs

Turns out Haechan planned a surprise party for you complete with hilarious banners with him making heart signs

When you turned around to look at Haechan, he was kneeling on the floor holding a big bouquet of your favorite flowers and this giant teddy bear 

As he looked up to you, he asked you to be his girlfriend, to which you said yes and were met with a rainfall of confetti and cheering

You spent the day playing fun games with your boyfriend and friends

(And to Haechan’s discontent and envy, you kinda beat him at almost every arcade game there was to play)

someone will love you better

<<<previous next track>>>

“y/n? do you ever wish you were still in love?” robby asks while the two of you sit on a blanket under the stars. you laugh at his question because how can you wish you were still in love when you are in love right now? “what do you mean wish? i am in love with you,” you answer, poking his side playfully. 

“that’s the problem,” he whispers, causing you to freeze.

the playful mood is gone as realization sets in: robby was breaking up with you. “robby what?” you mumble, still trying to process the inevitable. he looks at you sadly, a frown on his face and regret deep in his eyes. “we can’t do this y/n. you know we can’t. i’ve been running for way too long and now there’s nowhere for me to hide,” he explains, licking his lips. “with me. you hide with me,” you say, reaching for his hand. he pulls away before you can grasp it. “robby,” you gasp, the first few tears falling. 

“i’m sorry y/n. i am, but i can’t keep fighting this war with my mind. i have to let you go. you don’t deserve to be with someone like me. someone with all my baggage,” he tries to reason, eyes pleading with you to understand. “that’s not your choice to make robby,” you shout, still trying to reach out for you, and for some reason, robby embraces you. 

he pulls you flush against his chest, rubbing your back in soothing circles in an attempt to calm you down. “this is going to hurt y/n, but it’s for the best,” robby whispers into your ear. you step away from him, keeping him at an arm's length as you pull your his sweater tightly around your torso. “i don’t understand,” you start to say but he cuts you off. “i’m joining cobra kai because fuck my dad and mr. larusso. kreese will teach me shit; he’ll help me.” “let me help you robby. i can help you,” you beg. “not the way i need you too. besides, i’m a criminal y/n and you deserve someone better than that. someone who can give you more,” he continues, causing your heart to break even more. 

“i think we should just call it a night robby. you’ll regret this in the morning and…” you try to say but he doesn’t let you. “no, i won’t regret it because i loved you first, but someone will love you better,” he says with nothing but sincerity in his voice before walking away, leaving you heartbroken and alone.

What if Johnny debuted in EXO?

If you didn’t already know when Johnny joined SM Entertainment he trained with the EXO members and he was actually part of some initial line-ups but ultimately not debuting until years later with NCT instead. As EXO are one of my favourite groups and Johnny happens to be my NCT bias wrecker sometimes I wonder what would happen if he had actually debuted with EXO so if you’re interested in it to, do join me on this ride!

✰

Position, Unit, Symbols and first Teasers

For position I think he would have the same as he currently has in NCT: Lead dancer, sub-rapper and vocalist. These positions really fit him and I think he would specially be a good addition do the dance line. He would also be replacing Sehun as the maknae as he is the youngest of the EXO final debut line-up.

Since EXO initially debuted with the Korean and Chinese sub-units concept I think he would fit more with the members of EXO-K than EXO-M so I believe he would be placed there until eventually the units are blend.

From the existing powers I think the most fitting one for Johnny would be Fire (because let’s face it, he does light a fire within us, right? No? Just me? Ok). But if he was an addition to the line-up instead of a replacement they would give him a new power so I think it could be something like speed, that would be a good addition to the existing ones. As for his number, since most numbers are based on their birthdays or favourite numbers he could either be 09 or 02.

EXO was announced in December 2011 but only officially debuted in April 2012, in the meantime we were presented by several teasers introducing the members. I believe Johnny could have easily slayed the “Lightsaber” teaser (originally by Kai), be part of one of the teasers that feat several members or even having a brand new teaser with another demo that SM teased but never released (the fact that we never got a full version of Metal still doesn’t sit right with me…).

Mama (EP)

“What is love” was the first pre-released track sang by D.O and Baekhyun (Korean version), and being the vocal song it is Johnny wouldn’t be part of it much like the rest of the members.

“History” was the second pre-release single and all the members are included in the vocals and dance so he would too. Johnny would probably get Chanyeol ad-lib’s in the beginning of the first and second parts of the song, as for dance he would probably be centre at least in one of the chorus and mostly in the front line of the formations. Out of the 3 singles for this EP I think this is the one that would fit him best.

“Mama” was the last single promoted for this album. I don’t think Johnny would have a lot of lines here because most of the song they all sing together. Honestly I do believe this choreography could’ve looked better with 7 members instead of 6 as some parts look a bit strange, and I think Johnny could have quite a few centre parts instead of Kai (don’t get me wrong, I love Kai but we gotta admit SM was way to biased in the beginning).

As for the other songs: “Angel” is sang by the vocal line and “Two Moons” by the rap line, I think Johnny would fit “Two Moons” better. “Machine” would also be a song he would fit in well.

XOXO (Studio Album)

“Wolf” is the title track for this album and there are a lot of parts for Johnny to slay, from the beginning divided by the rap line to the last section of the second part before the chorus. I would love to see him being another branch on the EXO tree (I love this choreography so much) and since all the members come together on this song he could have a lot of time in the front line.

As for the other songs: I don’t think he would participate in “Baby Don’t Cry” like Kai and Sehun because I think it’s really well split between the other 4 members. The songs that would most fist him in my option are “Let Out the Beast” as it has some good parts that would fit his voice, “Heart Attack” (I might be a bit biased on this one as it’s my favourite track on this album) and “My Lady” as I think the all vibe of the song would be very interesting to see him in.

XOXO (Repackage)

“Growl” is a very fitting song for Johnny in my option, he would absolutely kill this choreography and the whole school concept would look so good on him.

As for the other songs: he would be freaking adorable singing “XOXO”.

Bonus note: I would love to see his acting skills in the little drama they did for this album. SM could’ve done so much more with it if that concept had been more developed.

Miracles in December (EP)

“Miracles in December” this track is only sang by the main vocal line so again I don’t think Johnny would be part of it, although he would look gorgeous in that music video (the acting scenes).

As for the other songs: the most fitting one in my option would be “The Star” as I think it has the best vibe for him. Also can you imagine him in the elf costume? A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!

Overdose (EP)

“Overdose” would also be a good tittle track for Johnny from styling to the choreography. In this one the rap line barely has any lines but I think he could’ve blend in with the vocal line instead.

As for the other songs: he wouldn’t participate in “Moonlight” as it’s only sang by D.O and Baekhyun but I would love to hear him in “Thunder”.

EXODUS (Studio Album)

“Call Me Baby” has a very nice vibe for Johnny, again styling and choreography wise he would absolutely slay this and I feel like he could also get quite a few lines (but last face it, this would be the perfect song for EXO if they stuck with the original tittle “Call Me Daddy”).

As for the other songs: he would participate in “My Answer” as again is focused on the main vocal tine but I would love to hear his voice in “What if…”, “El Dorado” and obviously “Playboy”.

Love Me Right (Exodus Repackage)

“Love Me Right” has such a beautiful aesthetic we would get so many cool Johnny shots. And even thought the stylist screwed up making them wear American football uniforms with baseball hats (logic where are you?) I would love to see him with that. For this one I don’t think he would have many lines but there are a lot of parts in the choreography where he could easily be centre.

As for the other songs: “Tender Love” would suit him so well.

Sing for You (EP)

“Sing for You” is a slower track pretty much sang by D.O, Chen and Baekhyun so I wouldn’t see him having a lot of lines, but also it wouldn’t be the most suited concept for him.

As for the other songs: obviously I think he would fit “Lightsaber” as I previously mentioned he could’ve been in the initial teaser, but also “Girl x Friend” has some good lines for him.

Ex’Act (Studio Album)

“Monster” has a very cool choreography for Johnny to slay and there are a lot of good lines for him too. Visually we’ve seen dark Johnny a few times so he would fit right in.

“Lucky One” would have me go crazy with Johnny in those white suits. Also if his power was speed, like I mentioned in the beginning, it would be cool seeing him use it in the music video to trick those women who are keep EXO locked down.

As for the other songs: in terms of side tracks this would be a very good album for him as most songs would fit his vibe, except “Stronger” that is sang by the main vocal line and I don’t really feel like there would be space for someone else as the original distribution is really good.

Lotto (Ex’Act Repackage)

“Lotto” is my favourite EXO tittle track (I don’t even understand why some many people hate it) and I would love to see Johnny there. The whole concept just screams his name, even if they didn’t gave him a lot of lines he would still stand out here.

As for the other tracks: “Can’t Bring Me Down” would also be a great track for his voice and I think he could’ve also joined the line-up for “She’s Dreaming” even though it’s not sang by the whole group.

For Life (EP)

“For Life”, just like “Sing for You” would also be a track where Johnny wouldn’t have many lines.

As for the other tracks: like in their first EP we have two songs one for the vocal line “What I Want for Christmas” and one for the rap line “Twenty Four” and although I would love to hear him on the first one he would’ve definitely be in the second one instead because it’s so much his vibe.

The War (Studio Album)

“Ko Ko Bop” is the tropical vibe I crave to see Johnny in. Ever since I saw him in that floral shirt for the “Resonance” teaser pictures I knew he would’ve slayed this. Also it would be amazing to see him dance this choreography.

As for the other tracks: let’s just cut to the case and admit we just want to see him do the choreography for “The Eve”. Now that we got that out of the way I can also say that this would be a very good album for him in terms of side tracks as I could see him fit any of them.

The War: The Power of Music (Repackage)

“Power” is my least favourite EXO tittle track but honestly I could see Johnny in this music video with the other members fitting that weird spaceship with Doctor Octopus arms and they could’ve even used his speed power to defeat the villain. This would be a great opportunity to show case his bright and corky personality. It would also be amazing to have his ‘superhero’ cards and have him included in the comic that you get from the physical albums.

As for the other songs: “Sweet Lies” would be an amazing song for him.

Universe (EP)

“Universe” is another slow song so it would pretty much be like “Sing for You” and “For Life”.

As for the other songs: this album has my favourite side tracks so I’ll be biased and say he would sound amazing in all of them. Well, except for “Lights Out” which I think is the same situation as “Stronger”.

Don’t Mess Up My Tempo (Studio Album)

“Tempo” would make all our biker Johnny dreams come through. There are some pretty good line options for him and he could also have some killer parts in the choreography. Overall another great tittle track for him.

As for the other songs: this would be another great album for his vibe, specially “Sign” and “Oh La La La”. Also I would die hearing him sing “Smile On My Face”.

Love Shot (Don’t Mess Up My Tempo Repackage)

(There are no individual pictures for this shoot)

“Love Shot” is another tittle track with a great choreography for Johnny to slay, can you imagine him dancing that chorus? Anyway, when I saw the editorial NCT 127 did for Elle Japan I just knew his yellow suit would have looked so good next to EXO’s suits for this era.

As for the other songs: I would’ve loved to know how his voice would complement “Wait”.

Obsession (Studio Album)

“Obsession” has such an amazing duality concept, I would love to see Johnny against x-Johnny. Styling wise it would be something very interesting for him to try. In terms of line I think this would be the hardest one to fit him in as I think this is probably the best EXO distribution of their discography but anything is possible.

As for the other songs: the best ones for him in this album would definitely be “Trouble”, “Jekyll” and “Ya Ya Ya.”

✰

Wow, this took me so long to put together but it was worthy to walkthrough the EXO memory lane with Johnny. In my honest option I think it was the right decision to not debut him with them as I feel like he fits the whole NCT vibe way better but it’s always fun to wonder!

Do let me know your thoughts on this and also if this is something you’d like to see again maybe with other groups or members.

Thanks for reading ❤︎

[Personal] Happy Birthday♡

it’s this time of the year again^^ 

Happy, Happy B-Day Yuuichi-kun♡

off to one of my favourite posts: tell me about your №1

I really ♡ Nakamura Yuuichi (中村優一; ← actor, not seiyuu!!!! )

He is and will ever be the person I will LOVE the most of all those j-actors^^

He is such a lovely dork and I really like his smile.

Some facts first:

① born October 8, 1987 [he is 2½ weeks older than me笑] ② nickname ~Channaka~「ちゃんなか」(Naka-chan backwards) ③ best known for his role ‘Sakurai Yuuto’ (Kamen Rider Zeronos) in Kamen Rider Den-O (2007)… but did you know that he actually played ‘Kiriya Kyousuke’ in ‘Kamen Rider Hibiki’ (the first actor to portray 2 Kamen Rider)

④ assigned to G-Star.Pro ( ジースター・プロ ) ⑤ has 2 Chihuahua ~Zero~ (Kamen Rider Zeronos) & ~Spica~ ↓ ↓ ↓ (Futatsu no Spica)

⑥ was part of Johnny’s Jr. (~2003)

⑦ had poor health as a child (asthma) [same here!!! in and out of the hospital] ⑧ loves reading shoujo-manga (ex: Good Morning Call グッドモーニング・コール / he had a cameo in the drama adaptation epi.15/16) and listening to jpop (Shounan no Kaze, Kis-My-Ft2, EXILE, CHEMISTRY, AAA ← friends with Nishijima Takahiro & Atae Shinjirou since ‘Delicious Gakuin’) ⑨ former member of a group of actors called D-Boys

as I talked about in one of my earlier posts… I really feel connected to Channaka and he kinda ‘helped’ me during the hardest time of my life. [check out my post about ‘Doukyuusei’ if you want to know why^^]

… when I heard he would be in the special unit called D☆DATE (together with Araki Hirofumi, Igarashi Shunji, Seto Koji & the new member Horii Arata) in 2010, I was so happy for him… because he deserved some more attention! He is one of the few boys who didn’t act in Tenimyu and that was really hard for him, because most of the D-Boys acted in it and became kind of “famous” for it.

In interviews he often talked about that he couldn’t get over the fact the he didn’t have a chance to be in Tenimyu and he couldn’t understand why, especially because he came out first at the 1st D-Boys audition.

And finally he got the attention he deserves, the most unthinkable thing ever happened. Right before his new stageplay (D-BOYS STAGE 2010 trial-2 ラストゲーム ) it was announced that he will take a break from work to cure his ‘chronicle back pain’. It was a huge shock for me because they announced it right before I moved to Japan. I still remember that I was sitting on my packed boxes in the livingroom when my friend called and told me the news…

almost a 1 year later we still had no real information about his condition… it was really depressing. I went to almost all D☆DATE events wearing orange things/stars (his member colour) and was even on TV (はなまるマーケット hanamaru market) with these ↓ ↓ ↓  uchiwas ↓ ↓ ↓  just to show that we were still waiting for him T^T

At the 1st Concert Tour of D☆DATE we finally got some ‘news’. They talked about him, said that it’s sad he couldn’t make it in time for the concert, but he would be trying his best to show up on stage again as soon as possible. I was crying while they showed pictures of him during the con because I felt so helpless.

After all the terrible things that happend in the first half of 2011 (the Fukushima-incident, the sudden death of my aunt, trouble with my former workplace…) I was kinda happy to hear that Channaka was still part of the group and the members where all waiting for his comeback!!! I thought that it would be only a matter of time until I could finally see him safe and sound on stage again… I was soooo motivated that I created a photo album with many pictures from fans all around the world to cheer him up and show him that soooooooooooo many people are waiting for him!!! I wrote the first fanletter (~8pages) of my life and told him that his fans would always support him and would wait for him as long as it would take for him to recover… and I wrote something that some fans would never understand… ‘If you wanna quit, don’t worry about us… we will respect your decision!!’ actually there is a reason why I wrote something like that…  

I heard from a friend who worked as a model for Watanabe Enertainment, that he had no ‘back-pain-problems’ at all!!! He was suffering from depression… [he had a hard time in August 2010 and realised that he couldn’t perform with this unstable condition, so he stopped coming to rehearsal 2 weeks before the actual stage… I can understand that the other D-Boys member were not amused about it… but what I heard from my friend made me really sad: they started to bully Channaka and told him to quit… especially the D☆DATE members didn’t want him to come back!!!… from my experience with the industry in Japan, this is quite common (especially Johnny’s Enertainment) but I still find it hard to understand]  ← I got this information from a friend, no official statement!!! + I don’t hate any D-Boys members… I’m just sad about the fact at all!!!

And than,on November 8th, 2011 (4 weeks after I handed out my letter & 2 weeks after my B-day) it was announced that he would retire from D☆DATE/D-Boys ＿|￣|○ (I had never expected that this would happen… I cried a lot!! who would think that this little sentences in a little fanletter from a little foreign girl would come reality. I don’t believe that it was the trigger for his decision… but still… the timing… I was shocked) The ‘official’ statement was ‘in order to recover he needs to conentrate on rehabilation more’… but I couldn’t believe this anymore!!!

The following year Watanabe announced that he would completely retire from the entertainment world and I was crashed… I met soooo many people from the industry (not only because I went to a lot of events… my job gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of people in private) but the only person I ever wished to meet in Japan ‘disappeared’ and my chances to ever see him in person were almost 0…

And than in the beginning of 2013, he all of a sudden started his new blog where he posted pictures of him posing with friends (O_O) Rumors started to spread that he opened up a café/bakery with a friend (but I have no detailed information about that). I was so relieved that he was doing fine^^

AAAAAAAND 1½ years later the best thing ever happened!!!! August 30th, 2014: Nakamura Yuuichi returned to the entertainment industry. I was jumping up and down in my room, called my best friend (who isn’t even a fan at all笑) and poured my whole soul out^^

It took a while for him to come back on screen, but it was worth waiting for!!! The first role he represented after his comeback was ‘Sakurai Yuuto’ in  ‘Superhero Taisen GP Kamen Rider 3 Gou’ (スーパーヒーロー大戦GP 仮面ライダー3号)

I think you get it by now… Kamen Rider Den-O (Sakurai Yuuto/Ootsuka Houchuu aka Denebe) means a lot to him!!! and if you are still not convinced… try to listen to the recording from ‘Kamen-Raji-Ranger 仮面ラジレンジャー’ I was at the venue when they recorded the show T^T aaaaaand just for the records…

this was the first time seeing him in person right in front of me!!!!!!!!!!!!! (August 18th, 2015 will go down in history^^) can you believe it… it took me almost 5 years to meet him (O_O)

(the pic I posted on twitter after I saw his post^^)

since then he acted in soooo many great productions and had a few leading roles (薄桜鬼SSL ~sweet school life~ / 舞台 裁判長!ここは懲役4年でどうすか 2016 / スレイブメン / 舞台 警視庁抜刀課 / 舞台 BRAVE10/ 舞台版 ヘルプマン! ~監査編~ / 最後の晩ごはん)

Seeing him working this hard after all that happend in the past, I decided that I will follow and support him as a fan for the rest of my life笑 He will always be my №1 ♡

If you feel like supporting him or just got interested in him… here are some things I recommend:

① check out his: twitter official blog wikipedia

② (re-)watch Kamen Rider Den-O

③ take a look at his photobooks^^

1st shashinshuu (2008)

2nd photobook (2010)

aaaand his newest photobook (was released October 8th, 2017 to celebrate his 30th B-day)

④ if you want to get emotional… watch:

Doukyuusei [同���生] Futatsu no Spica [ふたつのスピカ]   D-Boys Stage Vol.3: Karasu [10 D-BOYS STAGE vol.3「鴉~KARASU~」-10]

⑤ or consider buying any kind of media you might be interested in^^

if you made it to this point… thx for sticking along!!!! ♡ I would love to hear/read from you about your  №1 and maybe some thoughts about Nakamura Yuuichi^^ (maybe you want to make your own post and add @leenaevilin to it so I get notified)

Explaining Vale’s Character with OK Orchestra Lyrics

I tried to keep this to one verse or a few lines to each song so I don’t overload this post!! Yes I love A//J//R yes this album came out like a week ago and im still recovering

OK Overture: Vale’s Exhaustion, baybey!! And their optimistic tendencies!

But I'm too fucking young to feel so fuckin' old But I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try But I'm not dead yet so I guess I'll be alright

Bummerland: Return of Vale’s optimistic tendencies!

Bummerland, it's kinda weird But you're only going up from here

3 O’Clock Things: Anxiety about truly opening up to those around them!

Would you go running if you saw the real me? Maybe you'd love 'em Yeah, maybe you'd feel me But I'll never ask you, no, that's super scary

My Play: It’s the ‘when I’m you’ for me. The You, We, I. Hi Johnny!

You did everything, everything, everything that you could We do everything, everything, everything 'til it's through I'll do everything, everything, everything when I'm you

Joe: Vale knows they have friends, yes, but they literally cannot forget their own fears and insults used against them. It all still stings.

I got friends all up the coast Proud of all the songs I wrote But I can't take this backpack off It comes with me where I go

Adventure Is Out There: The Vale ADHD and Fear Of Missing Out experience! They cannot and will not plant roots! Until they find someone they love but listen that’s another post entirely

Adventure is out there Adventure is out there So why am I in here So why am I in here today?

Bang!: ENDGAME DESTROYIN’ ARASAKA VALE

I'm way too young to lie here forever I'm way too old to try so whatever Come hang Let's go out with a bang

The Trick: Ah ha ...... ah.... vale telling their s/o about the relic and their impending doom....and also the fact johnny’s mannerisms pop through more and their s/o doin’ the “you’re changing” sorta talk...

We'll get out of this 'Cause I love you, I do We'll get out of this 'Cause I love you, it's true But if you're doubting this If you're doubting that I do Then oh my God, I'm screwed

Ordinaryish People: BABY IT’S THE BEING HAPPY AND SEEN AS STUPID BY OTHERS

Your downer friends think you're too happy, too happy 'Cause you still celebrate sometimes / ‘No, you're not stupid, you're just special, special' Well, that's what all your smart friends say

Humpty Dumpty: THE ENTIRE SONG

I’m not kidding please look up this song it’s about mental illness and hiding it in order to make other’s happy and wondering if people would really love you no matter the “face” you show and it mentions the expectations the world places on you to put on a happy face and it slaps and also the way his voice breaks when he sings “Aren’t you excited that I’m givin’ you the best me” is a bIG VALE MOOD

World’s Smallest Violin: Once again, a Vale going “no im fine im okay other people have it worse” to ignore their own struggles

Somewhere in the universe Somewhere, someone's got it worse Wish that made it easier Wish I didn't feel the hurt

Way Less Sad: Vale’s normal mood!! Night City is a mess and they’re having a rough time but they’re optimistic and fightin’ hard to help others feel way less sad too!

Don't you love it Don't you love it No I ain't happy yet But I'm way less sad

Christmas In June: This is Vale, post-game, older, wanting to have a family/married to their partner, but they’re so attached to the Merc life that takes up their entire life. They’re trying to balance merc and a “normal” life and it results in many “All I know is my streetkid past, but I don’t want to lose you” moments

Holy shit Now I'm sittin' thinkin' 'bout what else I'll miss Darling, if we're ever gonna have a kid Don't wanna miss it Can we just have him in June?
