Introduction to Bollywood and its Music
Bollywood, the vibrant and thriving Indian film industry, has captured the hearts of millions worldwide with its captivating storytelling, colorful visuals, and, of course, its soul-stirring music. The music of Bollywood plays an integral role in shaping the emotions and narratives of the films, creating a unique identity that sets it apart from other cinematic experiences.
Bollywood films are characterized by colorful costumes, vibrant music, and elaborate dance sequences. Bollywood movies are often musicals, and feature songs that are integrated into the story. These songs are known as “filmi” songs, and are often very popular in their own right.
Bollywood music is characterized by catchy melodies, energetic rhythms, and emotional lyrics. Filmi songs often make use of traditional Indian instruments such as the sitar, tabla, and sarangi, as well as Western instruments.
If you’re looking for some Bollywood tunes to get you in the mood for your next beach vacation, check out our ultimate Bollywood beach playlist below!
Top 10 Bollywood Songs About Beaches
Bollywood has always been fascinated by the beach. Whether it’s shooting a romantic song against the backdrop of the setting sun or a group of friends frolicking in the waves, there’s something about the beach that just makes for good cinema. Here are our top 10 Bollywood songs about beaches:
“Oh Girl You are Mine” – Housefull “Party On My Mind” – Race 2 “Tumhi Ho Bandhu” – Cocktail “Sunny Sunny” – Yaariyan “Shut Up And Bounce” – Dostana “Salaam Namaste” – Salaam Namaste “Slowly Slowly” – Go Goa Gone “Ghungroo Toot Gaye” – War “Besharam Rang” – Pathaan “Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai” – Blue
These songs are known for their catchy tunes, beach visuals, and foot-tapping beats that make them popular choices for beach parties or a fun day at the shore.
How to Create a Beach Playlist for Your Next Vacation
When it comes to packing for a beach vacation, there are a few essential items you’ll need: sunscreen, swimsuits, and of course, a great playlist. Whether you’re headed to Goa or the Maldives, we’ve got the perfect Bollywood beach playlist to get you in the vacation mindset.The right music can create the perfect ambiance, set the mood, and make your time by the ocean even more memorable.
Consider the Vibe:
Start by envisioning the overall vibe you want to create with your playlist.Are you looking for a relaxing and laid-back atmosphere, or do you want to infuse your beach experience with high-energy and excitement? Consider the type of beach you’re visiting, the activities you plan to engage in, and the overall mood you want to set. This will help you select songs that align with your desired beach experience.
Include Beach-themed Songs:
To capture the essence of the beach, incorporate songs that directly reference the ocean, sand, sun, or summer. Look for tracks that have lyrics or titles related to the beach. These songs will instantly transport you to the seaside and add a touch of tropical charm to your playlist.
Explore Genres:
Beach playlists don’t have to be limited to a specific genre. Experiment with different styles of music to cater to different moods and preferences. Consider including genres such as reggae, tropical house, surf rock, indie pop, or even Bollywood beach tracks. Mix and match various genres to create an eclectic playlist that keeps things interesting.
Balance Upbeat and Chill:
A well-rounded beach playlist strikes a balance between lively, upbeat tunes and more relaxed, soothing tracks. Include energetic songs to keep the energy high during beach games, water activities, or parties. Simultaneously, include softer melodies that allow you to unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy the serene beauty of the beach.
Timeless Classics and Contemporary Hits:
Blend timeless classics with current chart-toppers to appeal to a wide range of musical tastes. Iconic beach-themed songs like “Kokomo” by The Beach Boys or “Under the Boardwalk” by The Drifters will evoke a sense of nostalgia, while recent hits can add a fresh and modern touch to your playlist.
Collaborative Playlist:
Involve your travel companions in the playlist creation process by setting up a collaborative playlist. Encourage everyone to contribute their favorite beach tracks, ensuring that everyone’s tastes and preferences are represented. This collaborative effort will make the playlist more diverse and personalized, creating a memorable soundtrack for your vacation.
Mood Transitions and Flow:
Consider the flow and mood transitions between songs to ensure a seamless listening experience. Group together songs with similar energy levels or complementary themes. Arrange the playlist in a way that builds up and eases down when needed, creating a dynamic yet cohesive journey through the music.
Conclusion
With this Bollywood beach playlist, you can look forward to an exciting vacation full of fun and unique experiences.

warnings: intoxicated (but consensual) kissing

also this was requested!! i'm so sorry anon i lost the ask but i hope u see it and like it anyways
Tumblr media
Day 1
France is a place that isn’t easy to forget, but having lived there your whole life made it seem ordinary. The country that saw me grow up, and that I was glad to call home, failed to impress me every day because I was used to it. The beautiful architecture, history, and tourist attractions weren’t as beautiful to me anymore; it was my day-to-day life.
That wasn’t true for the beach house in Nice. It wasn’t mine, or my family’s, but that place never failed to impress me, even if it was my day-to-day life every summer. The Leclerc summer home was my favorite place on Earth. From its blue and white facade, the soft beige interiors, the pool and beach view, the big dining room, and the incredible company, there’s no place I’d rather be in right now.
“Y/N L/N, you have arrived!” Charles Leclerc, the ultimate reason for this place’s beauty, yelled out to me.
“Charles Leclerc, I have arrived!” I replied blushing, and opening my arms into an embrace. As every time I hugged him, my body relaxed and tensed somehow at the same time, safe and nervous, loved and not loved back. But aren’t all childhood crushes like that?
“I’ve also arrived, pote. If you even care,” my wonderfully annoying older brother, Alexandre, interjected. Charles let me go to greet my brother, and I turned to find the youngest Leclerc, Arthur, on his way to hug me hello.
“Hi, chérie,” he said with a smile on his face, ruffling my hair affectionately.
“Hi, Arthur. Up to no good once again?”
“I’m always up to all good!”
Pascale Leclerc, the boys’ mother, greeted me with cheeks kisses and pinches. Everyone then swarmed my mom, Alice. Sometimes I think my friends love her more than they love me, but that was deserved.
As every year before, everyone finally felt at home. And as every year before, the inaugural pool party started.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Y/N L/N, will you do me the honor of joining me at the pool?” Charles exaggeratedly held out his hand, as if we were Royals in a ball. Antics that I was happy to oblige with. Too happy for my dignity to recover. 
As we made our way inside, and swam a couple laps playing around on who is faster, we wound up floating peacefully on a corner with the sun beginning to set. 
“I missed you,” Charles said out of nowhere, making my heart do a somersault. 
“I miss you too,” I managed to reply, feeling the blush on my cheeks. 
“I want to hear from you more often. I know I’m busy with racing, but I always can make time for you Y/N.”
The thing about unrequited love is any show of affection feels like a marriage proposal. But of course I could not deny his request. He was, above all else, one of my best friends and one that I needed to be there for. 
Hervé Leclerc passed away the year before, a couple months after the summer vacation. We didn’t know it would be the last time we spent with him, and I was worried about what this year’s vacation would be like with the boys’ father missing. 
“I’m always here for you,” I vowed and he gave me a quick, chaste kiss on my forehead. To make sure I wouldn’t forget my promise. 
As I looked at Charles’ glistening face against the darkening sun, I realized we would be okay.

Day 2
“Chérie,” was the first voice I heard as I woke up, with Arthur knocking on my door for show and letting himself in.
“Too early,” I whined back and hid under the covers, to have them ripped from me by the guy in my room.
“It’s time for the sunrise beach walk,” he replied and I knew he was right, so I let myself be dragged outside the house. I couldn’t say no, since the sunrise walk at least once during the vacation is also a tradition between Arthur and I.
It was also worth it; we silently agreed for that to be time to catch up, be honest, and be vulnerable ever since we began taking the walks. This one would be particularly hard too.
“I really, really miss my dad,” he said, putting his arm around my shoulders to walk side by side.
I didn’t know how to handle Hervé’s death with the boys. 
Enzo was older than me, even beyond his years, and there was nothing I could say that would be wiser, or better than what he had to say.
Arthur was quiet and reasonable, way more accepting of inevitables than me, more useful to himself than me.
Charles was passionate but closed, a master at compartmentalization, never letting me in even if I’d like to.
But Arthur, ever my closest friend, still needed my support.
“I know you do,” I replied softly and squeezed his hand. “It’s only normal, and I’m sorry you’ve been dealt these cards.”
Grief is a strange thing, but on the beach I hoped I let Arthur know that I would always be by his side, and that the sun will always rise again for him. With his steady breathing while leaning on me as we sat on the sand, I knew he understood.

This was the third year Arthur and I were invited to parties that Alexandre and Charles went to. The promotion from little siblings to cool siblings opened up a new world in Nice. Especially one where I could ignore my schoolgirl crush on Charles through alcohol.
So I happily got ready, into a pink summer dress and into the car that would drive us all to an even bigger house filled with a bunch of privileged European kids ready to drink the night away.
The first drink came from Antoine, who sadly had a beautiful girl around his arms that indicated he wouldn’t be a good distraction. The second one came from Amelie, my Nice girlfriend, who was happy as ever to see me and catch up with me before she also found an arm candy and promptly left. The third one was on me, as I was forced to stare at Charles making out with a girl I learned was named Charlotte.
After that, I stopped counting and kept drinking, joining the dance floor to enjoy the numb feeling in my face, the new found careless attitude, and the music blasting in my ears.
Before I could process it, Arthur was in front of me, the blush on his face indicating he was also intoxicated. What started as a normal jumping around like one does at a party, progressed to a point where his hands were on my waist and my hands were on his neck.
I couldn’t even recognize the song anymore, too entranced on the way his eyes were on mine. There were no words, as was usual between him and I. We just knew.
I wouldn’t take the first step, but he would. Arthur’s lips met mine in a strong, messy kiss. I didn’t pull away. I did want it. And it wasn’t scary.
When we stopped to take a breath, I realized I wanted to kiss him again. As I was leaning in, taking the initiative myself now, another force pulled me away.
I walked by inertia, trying not to fall down in following who was leading me away from the crowd. When I looked up, I recognized it to be Charles.
I couldn’t breathe from the adrenaline of the kiss I just shared, but also from the touch of Charles’ hand on mine, even if it was to take me out of the party.
My reaction was all too slow, finally starting to protest.
“What are you doing? Let me go,” I defensively said, snatching my hand away from his. The butterflies didn’t leave anyways.
“You’re drunk, let’s go home,” Charles coldly replied and held my hand again on his way to the car.
“Why would I want to go home? I’m having fun,” I continued to protest and he continued to pay me no mind.
As he put me inside the vehicle, despite my clumsy attempts to fight it, and slammed the door, I continued to think about what this could possibly be about. Where was Charlotte? Where was Arthur? What was happening?
My head spun and he got in the driver’s seat, turning the ignition on.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“You’re drunk. You don’t kiss people when you’re drunk.”
“That makes no sense.”
“You don’t kiss people you haven’t kissed sober.”
“Its Arthur!”
“Exactly!”
The back and forth continued all the way to the house, my thoughts sobering up with every passing moment.
“If you don’t want me to be with your brother because you don’t think I’m good enough, that’s really not your choice,” I told him decisively, crossing my arms and pouting like a child throwing a tantrum.
That was the only explanation for what Charles just did. He didn’t think a Leclerc should be with someone like me, and was doing everything he could to prevent it.
When he started laughing, I wasn’t so convinced anymore.
“What’s so funny?”
“You have no idea what you’re talking about. I just made the biggest scene out of jealousy, and you’re saying I don’t think you’re good enough.”
Time froze and my mouth went dry. The confession made its way through my entire bloodstream, replacing the alcohol effects with pure shock. My head was spinning for entirely different reasons, and my brain couldn’t bring the words out. What would I even say?
I opened my mouth but nothing came out, and Charles put his face on his hands in frustration, before leaving the car. I still could only think what is happening?

blu lock top artists on Spotify??? i need your thoughts on it
anon you had me pulling up my spotify playlists and browsing through the entirety of genius.com for three hours straight. i'm going to tweak this prompt a little bit and include specific songs that best represent them since it's easier for me to explain that way.
Tumblr media
RIN
the fanon answer for this is chase atlantic. while their songs do encapsulate parts of his personality (mostly the edgy teenager and disillusioned youth persona), i feel like this choice does not do his full character justice.
the canon answer for this is king gnu, more specifically the song "prayer x." i can picture this since rin seems like the type to enjoy alternative rock/indie, but the fact that it's the ending theme to banana fish is what gets to me. like...do you see yourself in ash or something? i hope you don't cus it doesn't end well. that anime had me bawling my eyes out for months, and i still can't think about it without breaking down again.
furthermore, the lyrics and music video to this song are very cryptic and borderline nihilistic. for example, "hiding behind this nonchalant smile" and "my life's spark will wink out of existence." i feel like this speaks volumes about rin's mental health and internal thought process. he obviously does not process his emotions normally and instead represses them. he also struggles with the idea of finding a purpose in what is otherwise a cyclical routine with no end. he's worried and, quite frankly, afraid that if he ever stops pursuing his dream, everything will come crumbling down, and he will have to face all the demons he's avoided for so long. the main theme here is that he cannot face his reality (the fact that sae's dream is not his own.) so he does everything in order to escape this fact even if it ultimately destroys him.
from my own playlists, i'd assign him the following songs/artists:
"beautiful boy" by john lennon
this is a love letter to baby rin. i feel like he would've enjoyed this song as either a lullaby or something he listened to on car rides to the beach during summer vacations. he probably still listens to this when it's raining outside or he's had a bad day. reminds him of his childhood and the good parts of it.
"the love club" by lorde
this is something pre-teen rin listened to. the irony is spot-on, and i feel like the lyrics would be relevant during a time when he was going through his rebellious phase and fully fleshing out his place in society. in this instance, the club would metaphorically be wherever his brother is at, whether that's the guys sae meets in spain or the group of football players considered "top-notch" in japan. everything is about finding a place in this club/clique in an effort to become free and differentiate himself from others. the only problem is that rin ironically loses his freedom because he tries so hard to be among the best. he signs his life away in pursuit of a dream, and it's something that now defines him.
"the only problem i got with the club / is how you're severed from the people / who watched you grow up"
this lyric in particular could apply to either one of the itoshi brothers. it's one of the caveats that comes with fame. you gain everything, but you lose everything before that. both of the itoshis likely experienced some amount of separation from their loved ones, including each other. also lorde's vocals are beautiful as always, so there's no reason not to include this song.
"howlin' 404" by DEAN
the production for this song is on point. the intro has a segment from a 1930s american horror radio program which is fitting because rin canonically watches horror movies. i think this song is something rin might listen to during cold autumns or midnights when he just can't sleep.
lyrically, there is the motif of a time loop which is also present in "prayer x." rin's character itself just has this connection with the raw grittiness of existentialism and this idea of repeating days without purpose. (in fact, he would make a great psychological thriller lead.) rin is also a control freak. if he lets one loose end go, it will unravel the entire thing. that matches up with the idea of "killing me softly." rin would rather prolong his pain than have it ripped from him all at once and leave him with nothing. i find this in a lot of people in real life too. even if your trauma wasn't good for you, it sometimes becomes the only thing you truly own. it's like that one quote from bojack horseman. "if i don't, that means that all the damage i got isn't good damage, it's just damage." rin feels like he has something to prove, and if he fails, all his suffering would've been for nothing.
"moonchild" by RM
i may be a bit biased since i love the mono mixtape, and i've written a rin fic about celestial bodies, but....this song just fits him. there's also a remarkable similarity with the lyrics of the previous songs i've listed. i'm just going to list a few:
"smiling in endless pain / you know / there's no freedom when you say freedom out loud"
one thing i love about RM is that he doesn't shy away from character flaws. he writes songs specifically for those who are always picked last, who aren't remarkable in any way, who feel weighed down by their normality. he gives them their spotlight and due diligence. for example, the entirety of the chorus is a repeat of "moonchild, you shine." i find this interesting since it's usually the sun that shines. but the sun is already sae, and rin is relegated to being the moon. yet even though the moon doesn't have its own light (it merely reflects the sun), it still shines bright in the darkness. rin doesn't know it yet, but he himself is a big role model for others such as isagi, his fans, and people just like him. so yeah....i'd take this song as a message of hope for future rin.
Tumblr media
SAE
the fanon answer is lana del rey, and i would agree to a certain extent. under the right circumstances, he could become one of those dreamy, emotionally stunted, and tired men you guys all lust over. if y/n ever wrote a romantic song about him, it would be either "west coast" (for the spanish influences) or "art deco" (for the vibes.)
the headcanon answer is nothing. i don't think he listens to music much. even if he did, it would be probably classical/instrumental or just white noise for his long flights. i imagine him listening to erik satie's "gymnopédie no. 3" on a train ride or something.
from my own playlists, i'm going to give him these songs/artists:
"remind me" by röyksopp
i don't know how to explain this, but this song gives a bittersweet sense of nostalgia. think early 2000s when the TV footage was still grainy and had retro graphics. you're carrying around your mini mp3 player whilst wandering through the airport and wondering how the hell you even ended up there. that's the general ambience of this song.
lyrically, the song also matches well with sae. i'm going to give you a few examples:
"it's only been a week / the rush of being home in rapid fading"
again, this is a tribute to the disconnection sae feels from his home. he goes everywhere, but he belongs nowhere. when he finally returns to japan, he finds himself missing spain. when he's in madrid, he thinks about the ocean back in kamakura. there never is a place that truly fills that gaping hole in his chest. i also feel like sae experiences FOMO on a whole other level. he constantly feels like something is wrong/missing and he's not doing enough.
"brave men tell the truth / the wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles"
the idea here is that though sae is blunt with his words, he is a coward with his intentions/true feelings. he can brutally call out someone without hesitation, but to actually reveal his own truths and motives? he'd rather shrivel up in a hole and die. this is especially applicable to love. to him, a wise man is someone who doesn't open his heart up easily. instead, he hints at his feelings, and whether or not you can figure that out is on you. sae hates it when others play games with him. it's where his hypocrisy lies. he demands straightforward honesty from others, but he himself will unintentionally play games with you if it means he can hide himself behind his walls.
"a woman holds her tongue / knowing silence will speak for her"
this is the closest you guys are ever going to get to sae itoshi's ideal type. he loves people who don't need to say something for him to believe it. they just get it. your silence is automatically enough for him to know that you love him. similarly, you don't even need to speak a word to understand what he's feeling.
"night shift" by lucy dacus
this song is sae if he was that one ex-boyfriend who really fucked you up emotionally, and you never got over him even though you said you did. now that i think about it, the story could be told from either POV. this could be sae trying to erase you from his mind, or it could also be you post-breakup.
"you've got a 9 to 5 / so i'll take the night shift / and i'll never see you again / if i can help it"
i know this one lyric caused controversy all over tiktok, so i'm going to add my own interpretation. at face value, this is exactly what it says it is. sae doesn't want to see you again, nor do you. he's willing to go out of his way just to avoid you, and truthfully he would. when sae finds himself in trouble, he doesn't look for something new to fix him. instead, he cuts everything off and subtracts anything that is deadweight. if you're out of his life, then you're out of his life. he's not coming back for you (or at least that's what he says to convince himself). same thing with rin. he knows he hurt rin, but he's not going to go back and try to make it right. he's going to move on and try to justify his actions every step of the way. one day, rin will move on too, and then sae would have been right all along. (unfortunately, that is not the way things work, but that's a lesson for another time.)
the alternative interpretation is that y/n is the other woman. this could be literal as in sae already has someone else in his life, and he only sees you at night. you're only ever going to be the night shift. it could also be metaphorical as in you're merely a distraction in the grand scheme of things. you're the mistress, but football is his wife if that makes sense. his career will always take precedence.
"you get me so high" by the neighborhood
this song is all the words sae wished he said to rin but never did. it made me cry because everything would have been so different if they had just set aside their pride and truthfully sought each other out.
"hope you don't regret it / i pushed a lot back but i can't forget it"
repressing feelings seems to be a recurring issue with the itoshi brothers. like....maybe if i just push it out of sight, it will also go out of mind. and at its core, this all stems from fear. fear of facing the consequences, the hypotheticals, the terrifying realization that you did something you regret and there really is no turning back from it. but realistically, if you think about it, a lot of this is the byproduct of overthinking. sometimes the situation isn't as complicated as we might make it out to be. sometimes an apology doesn't fix everything, but it's a proposition to be something more, an attempt at a solution. but sae and rin are so blindsided by their own internal turmoil that they cannot see this.
"for a long time i took it all for granted / i really thought we had it / but at the time it was more than i could manage"
ah....the "taking for granted" part. i could ramble on about that for hours. i think it really is some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy that we never miss something until it's gone. and in a way, it's not something that we can always control. the value you assign to a person/object when you have it is going to be fundamentally different from the value you assign to it when it's no longer in your grasp. that's how scarcity works. something with a limited supply is always going to be worth more. the vice versa works as well. you might yearn after something but then throw it away the moment you finally have it and grow tired of it. this sort of dilemma that comes with appreciation is so common i really wouldn't blame the itoshi brothers for what they did. it is immensely difficult to know when you're going to lose something or when you need to let it go. and sometimes it's hard to be constantly grateful for what you have because many of us are wired to want something more. tbh that's what makes the itoshis relatable.
"if we can leave it all behind us / and meet in between"
now sae would never say this unless he himself had actually reflected on what happened and fully processed it. but maybe in the future, they could set aside their differences and reach out to each other. (this is how i cope)
"but i just had to let you know / i never meant to hurt you, though / i had all my motives / i didn't know they wouldn't mix with your emotions / i just had to reach my goals / never knew i'd meet you though"
that's the thing with personal ambition. sometimes you get so caught up in yourself, you forget all about others. and this isn't really selfishness, or at least intentional selfishness. it just sort of happened that way. you never meant to hurt them, but you still somehow did.
"we should stick together / you're my best friend / i'll love you forever"
yeah....this line was the one that did it for me. something about the dysfunctional sibling dynamic just eats away at my insides. like....i could've loved you, we could've been so much together, but why aren't we? what we have isn't hate, but it isn't the love i know and crave either.
"we could be the greatest / it doesn't matter if we're never rich or famous"
ok but if rin ever heard this leave sae's lips, i think all of his trauma would just be magically healed. he just wants his brother to see him. like fully see him and love him. but alas, what is blue lock without angst, am i right?
"love in the dark" by adele
now i don't think sae would ever listen to adele, but the lyrics are just too fitting. i was going to write a fic on this, but it's going to have to ferment a bit in the drafts for now. basically this is the entire rin/sae traumatic scene but as a melodramatic torch song with adele's heavenly vocals.
"take your eyes off of me so i can leave / i'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me"
um...this is literally sae's internal monologue??? i feel like letting go of things is something both the itoshi brothers struggle with. their lives are constantly pulling them in different directions, and eventually they become numb to it all. they don't form any strong attachment to anything besides football because that's the one thing that won't change for them. in a way, this is necessary for their character development (in the sense that they need to discern for themselves what to keep and what to let go), but it also destroys any sense of belonging they might have (hence why they feel lonely.)
"don't try to change my mind / i'm being cruel to be kind"
sae would definitely say this. like word for word. if only he wasn't a vague dumbass with no communication skills.
"i can't love you in the dark / it feels like we're oceans apart"
this is literally their dynamic in one lyric. there is the physical distance, and then there's the emotional distance.
"we're not the only ones, / i don't regret a thing / every word i've said, / you know i'll always mean"
this sort of reminds me when sae said that the world is huge, and there's so many players way better than him out there. i think spain really gave him a reality check, and he grew angry at rin when rin couldn't understand his disillusionment.
"everything changed me / and i don't think you can save me"
adele sort of echoes this softly at the end of the song. i feel like sae would do that too. he wouldn't admit his own insecurities until the very end, and only then does the truth come out.
"i'll sleep when i'm older" by bruno major
this is sae when he's older and fully mature, preferably after he meets you. he finally decides to damn it all and do what he wants.
"conversations with elders and the wisdom they bring ... / the view from an aeroplane at twelve thousand feet"
sae views things that previously annoyed him in a new light. he used to hate his elders, but he visited you and your mother once, and something changed within him. now he calls his parents more often, and his eyes linger on the old couples near the park benches. sometimes, his gaze softens just a bit when he imagines the two of you growing old just like them.
flights used to be a mundane part of his routine, but now he finds himself leaning over your window seat to see the mountains down below. the clouds and sunny weather set him aglow. and you just look so pretty when you fall asleep on his shoulder. he doesn't ever want this change.
"meet god on a mountain top along with the stars / find love somewhere, anywhere / fall deep from the start"
sae used to avoid love, but now he's running at it full-force. people tend to shy away from making sae a romantic because it seems too ooc. however, in the right situation, i think sae could entirely abandon his previous ideals and become someone else entirely. (that's why it's called a character evolution guys.)
"misplace my mind and follow my heart"
again, if you're able to make sae lose all rationality and let his heart guide him instead, then you've really done something. kudos to you for penetrating the walls of the coldest asshole known to mankind.
"i'll be a firework, not a flickering flame / treat life all around me like a one-player game"
this one lyric applies both to younger and older sae. younger sae is someone unafraid of risking it all if it means he can achieve something worthwhile. it doesn't matter how many players he has to defeat, how many people he has to leave behind. in this world, it is just him and the goal he has to accomplish.
however, after he's mellowed out after a few years (i'd say around middle age), he probably reinterprets this as something else. he's not going to constrain himself to his tunnel vision anymore. there's so much more to life than that.
"i'll go to the party and forget all the names / should it climb back to haunt me, / it ends all the same"
sae finally lets himself live the life he never thought he'd have. he does stupid things like get drunk and make a fool of himself. but you're there for him, so he doesn't really care. in fact, he can finally say that for the first time in a long time....he's having fun.
Tumblr media
KAISER
the fanon answer is the weeknd. i'm not going to lie, i completely agree with this one. i saw this one edit of him to "party monster," and i can say i have been fully enlightened and converted. however, this is not just about a toxic male manipulator anthem. it's much more than that.
this is about running away from the ugliest parts of yourself, becoming a slave to your vices, knowing you're broken somewhere and you can never fix it. i would say his character is most similar to "starboy" in the fact that he literally flaunts everything he has to hide the fact that deep down inside, he really has nothing else to hold onto. "starboy" is all about the status symbol (money, red lamborghinis, glass table girls turning into ebony table girls lol). but at the end of the day, he doesn't really have anything except an empty heart and a satirical quip for all those who made him famous. the same theme applies to "the morning" and "house of balloons."
in the romantic sense, i think "don't break my heart" would represent kaiser. and no, this is not a justification for him being an f-boy. it's more so an exploration of why people might think he is an f-boy. i do not condone his actions, but i do try to understand them. in particular, i feel like the lyrics of "sacrifice" also fit him well.
"i was born in a city / where the winter nights don't ever sleep / so this life's always with me / the ice inside my veins will never bleed"
i headcanon kaiser as being born in either berlin or munich. and if you don't know anything about those two places, just know that you freeze your ass off during wintertime. i think it's interesting how his past could be intrinsically tied with a place, and he takes a piece of his past self with him wherever he goes. the ice in veins part also made me think about how kaiser would rather freeze up every weakness within himself than let them run free and make him human.
"every time you try to fix me / i know you'll never find that missing piece"
guys...did you hear that? to all you delusional people out there, this is your service announcement. you cannot fix someone who does not want to be fixed. write that down and memorize it. all meaningful change starts with a shift in mindset, and if they themselves are not in the right headspace to recognize that something is wrong and actively want to change, you're not going to get anywhere. so yeah....kaiser is not going to change unless HE starts doing the changing.
"i hold you through the toughest parts / when you feel like it's the end / 'cause life is still worth living"
i think this lyric sort of explores kaiser's dynamic with ness. on one front, he is the one picking ness up from his miserable past and instilling a sense of hope into him (intentionally or not.) but on another front, this could also be a problem. kaiser is almost forcefully optimistic in the way that he believes anything is possible. it has to be possible because there can be no other way. but the thing is.....you have to know your limits sometimes. blind optimism is, ironically, similar to cornering yourself.
"i can break you down and pick you up / and fuck like we are friends / but don't be catching feelings"
this is definitely the type of bullshit kaiser would spew. i could picture a fwb or situationship with him where y/n just constantly receives the short end of the stick. now this may be reaching, but i also feel like this is how kaiser projects his own trauma onto others. he himself clawed his way up to the top and put himself back together every time he fell down. the problem is that he also expects you to be that resilient. he's going to treat you badly because you're supposed to be like him: someone who can overcome everything and strive towards the impossible.
the headcanon answer to his top artist would be keshi. in particular, i think kaiser would fit the vibe of "2 soon" and "drunk." long story short, you finally broke up with him, and he's still reeling from the impact.
within my fics, i envision a dialogue between kaiser and y/n from each one of their perspectives. so based on that, i'm going to assign him the following songs/artists:
"gibson girl" by ethel cain
i know i said earlier that kaiser's character is not solely about toxic manipulation, but you have to understand that all bad habits originate from somewhere. kaiser is innately self-destructive, and he brings you down along with him. this song is about that but from y/n's perspective. there's this idea of trying to find agency in a situation where you have none. i don't have the word count to explain ethel cain lore in all of its naked glory, but all i can say is that this song is a banger and deals with themes like femininity as a performance, finding power in pain, religious motifs, etc.
"glory box" by portishead
this song is y/n's last plea to kaiser before they fully give up on him and leave. i'm also a sucker for anything that involves an exploration of gender dynamics and what it means to be a woman, and this song is riddled with it.
"suffocation" by crystal castles
this is kaiser post-isagi defeat (cue that one scene where he was trying to choke himself.) similar to sae, it's all or nothing with him. he suffers from this feeling of inferiority. everyone made him out to be this great figure of impossible dreams and legends, but look at him now. he's nothing. aren't you disappointed? he had you fooled, but he also fooled himself. so yeah....kaiser is definitely the most self-deprecating out of all of the boys at blue lock.
Tumblr media
ISAGI
the fanon answer is laufey, and i also agree. he's so sweet, and laufey's music just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. he would also be that one love that came creeping up on you when you least expected it. "valentine" would be the song for that. i picture a reader who's had a series of unfortunate breakups and is right on the edge of giving up entirely. but then isagi comes along, and it's just so easy to love him. as easy as breathing. and then you think maybe it wasn't so bad after all. you just never found the right one until he came into your life. furthermore, isagi is a jazz pop princess, and you can't convince me otherwise.
the headcanon answer is IU. more specifically, i would say "troll" from her lilac album. i feel like even if you and isagi broke up, it would still be like you two never broke up at all. you're both on good terms, and even though you know it's counterproductive to keep cycling back to each other, you do it anyways. and it's okay because you're both still in love.
from my own playlists, i would assign the following songs/artists:
"winter bear" by v
this is my comfort song. it feels like those big sherpa blankets you tuck yourself under when you're lying next to the heater in winter. isagi would kiss your forehead and nuzzle your nose before you two drifted off to sleep.
"a boy named pluto" by hailey knox
this one is so romantic lol. i also like the dynamic where one party is afraid to love, but the other person loves them unconditionally. that would be isagi. he'd respect your decision and wait for you as long as you need it. but if you're ever ready to give him a chance, just know that he's going to treasure all of you.
"put your records on" by ritt momney
the inspiring thing about isagi is that he never lets anyone put him down. he takes rejection as redirection, failure as room for improvement. and in that way, i think this song encapsulates his resilience. he'd be such a good boyfriend not just romantically but in the way that he would literally pick you back up to your feet, dust you off, and make sure everything was alright.
"fairy of shampoo" by dosii
i picture isagi as someone who falls first and falls harder. he just loves you so much, and he doesn't even need a reason why. i saw somewhere that sometimes you don't love someone because they're your soulmate/twin flame/supernaturally fated other. you love them because you consciously made the decision to. isagi is like that. he loves you on purpose.
Tumblr media
helppp why does this sound like an academic paper...i'm sorry anon. i got carried away with this, but i hope u like it.

For the pookie au, how did Nando propose? Were Carlos, Oscar and Lando around for it? Did he discuss it with them? Did they help him plan it? I would love to hear your thoughts
[This turned into a whole thing again, so... You're welcome? 😭]
They're all on a family vacation in somewhere like Greece or a Spanish island and at the beach.
Lance is draped in towels and has a sunhat and shades on. He's lounging under a massive umbrella to try and keep his sensitive Canadian skin from burning in the sun. Everyone else is beautifully golden brown and enjoying the beach and sea.
Fernando stumbles over, bringing Lance a new bottle of cold water and slumps down beside him on the sand.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Here, cariño." he says while giving the water to Lance, who snakes a hand out from underneath the towels and rests the cold bottle against his chest to cool down.
"The guys seem to be having fun." Lance says and they look over towards the shore, where Carlos, Lando and Oscar are trying to drown each other in the shallow water while manically laughing and scaring the other beach-goers.
"My boys." Fernando says proydly. He then digs a loose piece of dried up seaweed from the sand and starts to fiddle with it.
"Next time we go somewhere like Sweden. Or Antarctica. Somewhere cold." Lance quips and takes a swig from the water bottle, enjoying the coldness going down his throat. Fernando humms and keeps fiddling with the seaweed.
"I'm going to get a heatstroke, then burn to a crisp in the sun and ultimately die and you all look so comfortable." Lance nagged. "I don't get it. Is it the Spanish genes? No, Oscar is Aussie... Or is it hot in Australia, too? I don't fucking know... You're all freaks."
"Here," Fernando interrupted his rant and stretches his hand towards Lance. Lance moves his shades up to see what he is offering. "For you."
"For me? What is this?" Lance asked and studies the tiny seaweed creation Fernando had fabricated. He had somehow managed to weave it into a perfect little loop.
"Will you marry me?" Fernando then asked and Lance snorted, amused at the sudden question. It must be a joke, so he laughed and put the seaweed ring on his left ring finger.
"Wow, this is beautiful." the Canadian said, half impressed that it actually fit and half mockingly because it was so dumb.
"I'm serious, Lance." Fernando said with a little more gravity in his voice. "I want you to marry me."
Lance looked at him, eyes big and in shock. But Fernando's expression didn't crack, he was serious. Lance swallowed and then continued:
"Really?"
"Sí, really."
"Okay..."
"Is that a yes?"
"Yeah."
Lance was a bit flustered. He hadn't expected this at all. Sure, he and Fernando had been together for a while, but this? Yeah, it was still sudden. He didn't mind it, though.
"Tomorrow we go buy you a nicer one. Gold. A diamond, whatever you want." Fernando smiled and Lance huffed. Fernando would always buy him something super expensive only for Lance to lose it somewhere or wear it once.
"Buy a nice ring for you, how about that?" Lance said. Fernando chuckled and nodded, climbing back up and dusting sand off his legs and butt. He then leaned down once again to plant a big, wet kiss on Lance's lips and ran off back towards his kids. Lance sunk deeper into the towels around him and looked at the seaweed ring.
"Hmm..." he hummed and trailed a careful finger over it. Married. Sure. That could be fun.

Where the Bad Batch would go on Vacation
Tech
He would want to visit somewhere with lots of nature. With new plants and animals so that he can study them.
He wants to show Omega her first water fall.
He would love to take a safari, but Hunter says no because at least one of his children the batch is bound to wander and end up in a fight with a rhino or something(his bet is on Wrecker, but Tech bets it would be Crosshair)
He chooses hiking trails and spends all day in them.
Wrecker gets poison ivy because Crosshair pushed him. Omega runs ahead all the time and climbs on all the rocks and almost twists her ankle (almost gives Hunter and Echo heart attacks)
Batcher loves it.
Crosshair and Wrecker
Him and Wrecker finally agree on something together. They choose an amusement park. The whole batch wins a bunch of carnival games for Omega. She comes home with a dozen stuffed animals.
Omega loves all the kiddie rides. The whole batch is willing to try all the rides ("Can't be half as bad as Tech's flying").
Omega eats too much cotton candy and popcorn that she gets a stomach ache.
Tech is fascinated by the rides' mechanisms and always asks the employees about them (he gets a bit frustrated when none of them know the answers)
Hunter
He would like to go somewhere calm with nothing dangerous where he can finally get a good night's rest. He would probably choose a cruise - he and Echo can just sit on the poolside and sleep while Omega and Wrecker hit the kid's casinos, Crosshair plays pickleball, Tech goes and bothers the captain because he's "steering the boat in an inefficient way"
Echo
Unbeknownst to anyone, Echo is the ultimate trip planner. He chooses a beach hotel (that allows dogs) with lots of activities for children, a shooting range, pickleball courts (Crosshair has gotten obsessed), lots of museums (Tech drags them all to one for a day). There are sandcastle building contests and the batch wins one day after building Omega her own sand castle (big enough for her to play in).
Echo likes seeing everyone getting along and can relax (Hunter deals with all the arguments, it's Echo's time off)

JUST FRIENDS ⋆
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: bestfriend!sarah x kook!reader
synopsis: sarah cameron is your best friend.
tw: alcohol use, pining trope, fluff, toxic relationship, kissing, feminine described character (no use of y/n)
any type of interaction including likes, comments, and reblogs is appreciated! but ultimately not necessary. let me know if im missing any warnings!
Tumblr media
your friendship with the champagne-colored locks, indigo scattered irises, sarah cameron, began in the first grade. your dad had done some business with ward, sarah's dad. both, your dad and ward, had got stuck with you and sarah, meeting at their house instead of the usual— country club.
you were less outspoken than sarah. making your way through the entrance of their house, into the foyer, you were met by her practically smothering you with a hug. before you could comprehend what was occurring, she grabbed your hand yanking you up the stairs of her house. pulling you into her room, without saying a word, she grabbed her newly released american girl, handing it to you.
and from that day on, you guys were inseparable. see, you didn't have any siblings, so it became lonely most of the time. but with how much you and sarah hung out, wheezie and rafe became family. god, how you loved each other. hanging out every day of the week. after spending all day together in your private school, sarah and you would spend all afternoons together— either pissing rafe off or hanging out at the beach with your boyfriends, which also included pissing off rafe.
rafe's friends, topper and kelce were like douchebag one, douchebag two, and douchebag three. 3 douchebags in a pod. sarah was dating topper thornton, and you were dating kelce. you knew from day one that kelce was a tool, and well, sarah was more native to that fact, also, being true about topper.
"you just don't get it! h-he's different around me!"
"is he really that different? he was pressuring you to have sex!"
the amount of distain that you felt towards thornton was unmeasurable. your jaw seemed to simultaneously lock and anger coursed through your veins when you saw his stupid face. no one was worthy of sarah, especially that dick face.
though, there was great reason for you not to like him, from the time that he insisted on driving a jet ski instead of sarah, even though he was too drunk to drive, and crashed. giving sarah a concussion. rather than taking care of her, he left a day after to vacation. leaving you to tend to her every need. though you would have done that either way.
or another time, again, he was too busy messing around with his friends and being drunk to notice that they had left sarah at a party. the same party that he practically begged, or guilt-tripped, her into going to. yet, again, you had to console her as you took her back to her house.
"i swear he doesn't even love me"
Tumblr media
your legs began to ache at the lack of movement you had provided them with. standing, slightly swaying back and forth, you were becoming increasingly irritated.
the party, you and sarah were attending had started two hours previously, yet you stood in the same position for the past forty-five minutes. watching your ex-boyfriend— kelce attempt to win against sarah in a game of beer pong. he had been convinced that he could win if they played just another round. they had already played two, now on their third. they both had won one game each.
the whole game had caught the eye of many people that were previously partying, now surrounding the table. standing closer to sarah's side of the patio furniture, your eyes darted between their moves. sarah had 2 cups left, kelce had 1. a window had opened for kelce to tease sarah. and, again, him being the douchebag he is, he took it. though it didn't faze sarah in the slightest.
his offputting behavior was the whole reason that you had broken things off in the first place. sarah had come to the same abrupt realization not long after finally noticing her worth. both guys dumped within a week of each other. kelce was proving your entire point of breaking up with him, at that current second.
now, having one cup each, it was a matter of time before kelce was either being obnoxious out of excitement or acting like a total crybaby.
kelce missed.
alright, it's now sarah's turn, etching near her, you watched. actively hoping she won. looking intently towards her, she sent a giddy smile towards you before guiding the ping pong towards the last remaining alcohol-filled cup.
with the sight of her making the ping pong in, you began jumping up and down with her in unity. wrapping your arms around her, you both hugged.
the scoff that left kelce's mouth interrupted the hug, "i-it's not that serious. you won by chance sarah, let's play 'another game."
looking at each other, you and sarah simultaneously roll your eyes, leaving it to sarah to speak, "getting a little desperate aren't we kelce?"
getting a laugh from the crowd that had formed, not leaving a millisecond of a moment for kelce to spew some of his bullshit, sarah grabs ahold of your hand, pulling you towards a more secluded area of the host's house. an unoccupied hammock that overlooked a small portion of the beach.
laying across from each other in the cream-colored hammock, sarah let out a laugh before speaking a word, "i don't know why you even dated that asshole"
lift your head, you sent a glare towards her, "i know you're not talkin"
letting out a cough, sarah began to seek out a change of subject. pulling you by your hand, both of you, now, are straddling the hammock.
"alright! enough about stupid boys, lemme read your palm"
"what?!"
"you heard me!"
letting sarah lay your palm flat— her nimble finger slid tracing the lines of your palm.
"no no no, this is bad", sarah said shaking her head in disbelief.
it seemed that you began to overindulge for the sake of sarah, though you would always do that.
"s-sarah w-what is it?"
genuinely concerned by her own made-up delusions, sarah spoke, "when i read your palm lines, it says that you're gonna have what seems to be like six kids, with a lousy douchebag"
letting out an obnoxious scoff, you began to giggle, "i would die a painful death before i would let that happen"
"and i would kill that lousy husband of yours before he could marry you"
your face dangerously close to hers, "oh really, is that so?"
before sarah could come up with a witty response, her breath began to hitch when she began to feel your breath against her pale complexion cheeks— now pink in color.
connecting your line of sight from directly in her eyes, gradually moving to her rose, plump lips. sarah doing the same. once more, looking back into her eyes, you slowly moved your face, a mere inch away, now very close in proximity.
just like always, sarah had to be confident. slowly leaning forward, she captured your lips. naturally, you froze for a moment before you started to lead the kiss.
ding
the kiss only lasted a moment, only to be interrupted by a message from your mom. breaking the kiss, you looked down at your phone.
"ah shit i didn't realize what time it is"
although sarah was sad you had to leave, she knew your mom worried a lot. jumping up off the hammock, you began to walk away with haste.
"j-just let me know when you get home"

One Last Time
Tumblr media
TW: angst. Heartache. Smut. Cheating. Dark JJ.  
SUMMARY: JJ begs you to give him one last night before you choose Rafe. 
WORD COUNT: 1800
REQUESTED:
Angsty sex with JJ where reader has to choose between Rafe and JJ and she tells him that she loves him but that she also loves rafe and she chose him and JJ is heartbroken and begs her to be his just one last time 🥺
One Last Time
Being in love in the Outer Banks was a tragedy. Even if you were Kook or Pogue, everyone knew everyone. Because of this, you found yourself torn between the princes of either side. Neither of them you should have loved, and yet both you did, helplessly. 
Rafe was fire and JJ was water. Rafe was a future and JJ was a moment. But where their similarities made them your type to perfection with their natural rebellions, your decision was made by the idea of what you needed. 
Commitment. 
And if Rafe had a former obedience beneath the thrall of his father now shifting to your relationship, JJ had a loyalty to the pogues. It was this ultimate fact that sent you to the steps of The Chateau at two in the morning. 
"It isn't me, is it?" His voice broke your heart. The tone alone making it impossible to look into those ocean blue eyes and commit to why you came. Because you knew if you looked at him, he'd convince you to change your mind. But it would be a never ending cycle of this. 
"It's…"
"Not that complicated. You either want me or him…" You couldn't say anything as memories invaded your convictions. 
The days spent on the beach and the night spent in his arms. The ideas of trips made on a whim and promises of what could never be fulfilled finally brought you to look at him. And it was the face of anger looking back that sent you upwards. 
"I don't want to hurt you."
"So you don't mean to rip out my heart? Look at that," he motioned to the ground, "looks like your shoe print, doesn't it?" He held his palm across his chest and gripped his shirt as you used to during his anxiety attacks. Only now, it was because of you. Making matters worse. 
"You know what, I should've known. You want the nice shiny thing, right? Not the backyard thrift shop version? Well you might get the trips to wherever the hell Kooks vacation, but you're always gonna have a cold bed when you realize you're actually alone." 
"JJ-"
"What do you want me to say? Thank you? For the best summer of my life and then you're gone? Sorry, guess I'm not feeling grateful." 
"Please!" Tears cascaded down your cheeks. 
"What?" 
"I don't want to end it like this…" His jaw cocked as he turned in pensive rest. His eyes moving in every direction before he suddenly charged you. Taking your face between his hands and staking you between him and the side of The Chateau. 
His tongue tangled well against yours to keep you from stopping him as both hands came to either breast and squeezed and twisted your eager nipples beneath your tank. He growled, lifting you around him, until he could bring you into The Chateau. 
"JJ-" You stopped him as he moved to your neck after you straddled him. His hands eager to undress you and bypass the usual foreplay that had you beyond wet for his later thrusts. 
"Give me tonight. One last time where I know what to expect when I wake up and you're gone." Your eyes swelled with tears. "Give me one last time feeling your lips…hearing you moan my name…making you drip down my cock when I make you come…Please, princess?" 
You should have walked away. But you wanted terms like this. Desperate for them, you nodded. It was all he needed to undress you. Your naked breasts a quick devotion for him as he pushed them together and took turns nibbling and sucking your nipples as you moaned for him. 
"I want to hear everything you feel. Give me those memories, sweetheart…" You clenched your eyes tightly to ignore the tears as he flicked your nipple with his tongue. 
"Are you gonna miss my tongue or my fingers more?"
"All of you." 
"You did come so pretty on my cock…didn't you?" He tried to focus on the vulgarity in believing that made it easier. But with the glossy tears in your eyes, he fell apart the same. Tears down his cheeks as you brushed them away. 
"Fuck…I can't do this…" he turned away and you were absent his touch. Cold and abandoned in the way you knew your heart would feel tomorrow. But right now, you wanted, no needed, this. 
"I want you. Please, JJ…" When he didn't look at you, you moved to your knees. His belt removed and his cock exposed as you took him slow but deep. He didn't grip your hair as he usually did until you drove your nails into his thighs. 
"God, I'm gonna miss your mouth on me…" He inhaled sharply before watching you take him to depth. Sunken cheeks and watering eyes that hid your genuine tears, the salacious suction and guttural groans made you drip down your legs. 
"Get back on top of me…put me inside you deep enough to remember me…" You were guided by his grip before gasping to the familiar stretch of his cock. Eight throbbing inches you had down your throat not even a second ago, now reaching to your hilt, where you abstained from bouncing. 
"I could never forget you, JJ…" Your words motivated him as he held the back of your neck with one hand and wrapped his arm around your waist as he pounded into you. Tears, kisses, and moans were exchanged until you began to ache. But no pain was enough to rival the growing fissures in your heart. Every rise of his hips or fall of your own brings you closer to your orgasm, but also closer to your goodbye. And for that, you wanted it to last forever. 
A mutual idea as he pulled you to the bedroom and slammed the door. 
"The first time I kissed you, I was so nervous…" He spoke into your neck. 
"JJ-" He ignored your whimpered plea as he sunk two fingers in place of his cock. 
"You looked as beautiful as ever and when you made that first move, I fell in love. I promised myself I would do everything it took to keep you-"
"JJ… Why are you making this harder?"
"Because I want you to leave knowing everything. That I care and I love you. I want when you look at him and feel his fingers that you regret that they aren't mine. And I want you to say my name when you come by his touch because you knew it should have been me…" He was between your legs, tongue and fingers exchanging for the sake of your pleasure as you began to tremble. 
"That's it, sweetheart. That's my girl…" 
You wrapped his hair in your grasp, savoring every sensation and flick until he held your hips flat. Every vulgar sound brings you closer. 
"Please don't stop! Oh JJ!"
"Fucking come…I need you wet for how hard I'm gonna take you-" 
He bowed over you, fingers pistoning into a bend as his mouth worked your clit. A rush of satisfaction coming down his fingers when you nearly squirted by the former edgings, stopped by your emotion. 
"If this is the last time…you're gonna do that again until I'm dripping…" He was slower between your legs. Lapping up every drop he caused until you were coming again. Faster but harder. Overstimulated and begging as he licked you up through this second wave. 
"Fuck…" he stood between your thighs before you climbed to your palms. Sucking him into a breath as he bobbed against you. 
"Let me see your eyes, princess…I wanna remember how they look when you're choking on me…just…like…that…" You moaned to the way he was. Velvet shaft. Salty precum.. those moans that made you forget how uncomfortable this could be by both positioning and taste. Every second well worth it. 
"Shit, I wanna come down your throat…But I need to feel you…" He forced you onto your side, pulling one of your legs between his as the other came to his shoulder. 
"I love watching you take me," He moved forward, hips flexing into a smash to your hip. "It's gonna bruise."
"Good…" He growled, turning you completely on your stomach and taking your hair into a fist. 
"How am I supposed to forget about this? You're like a fucking glove around me…" His words made you freeze. 
"A condom! JJ-" He pulled your hair. 
"If I have to say goodbye, I'm not doing it without feeling every inch of you-"
"JJ! I-"
"Take me…take all of me…" He bit into your shoulder as you were pulled against his hips. Thrust after thrust until only sweat and grunts remained. 
"On your back…I need to see your face when I make you come." No sooner had you obeyed had his middle finger made vicious swipes over your clit. Your body convulsed as he took your breast into his mouth and continued his thrusts. 
"Come for me…scream my name and stain my sheets. Give me something to hold onto when you lie and say he can make you this happy…" he groaned into your neck. "I'll leave something for you too…and you're gonna take every. Last. Fucking. Drop."
"JJ!"
"Not right now…I'm coming, princess…" he clenched the sheets desperately beneath you as you dug your nails into his ass. Ropes of cum warming your inner walls as he seated himself at rest, almost painful with the aftershocks of overstimulation and heartache. 
He winced as he pulled himself out of you. As you went to close your legs, he kept them wide. Two fingers pushing his cum back as deep as your body allowed. You tugged around his wrist and he winced at how you thrust against him, riding his hand. 
"I want you to cum again. God, I wanna watch you fall apart."
"I'm so close! Oh God! Oh JJ!"
"Fuck….no!" He stopped, pushing his cum to your hilt before retreating. 
"JJ…"
"You always said things happened for a reason…" He began to dress as you wrapped yourself in his sheets as you read into his words. 
"A reason?”
"The same reason I didn't wear a condom to come inside you…"
"JJ!" 
"If you're meant to be mine…" he crawled towards you. "What I left will prove it and it will make us a family-"
"You asshole! I-"
"I made the choice easier for you, sweetheart. If you have my baby, you don't have to choose. You'll always be my girl."

finally got around to putting this into words so here is my submission to the q!bad newsletter titled "q!bad is a good person but a bad human".
arcs like the one q!bad is on are naturally polarising and bring out a lot of strong emotions from views which is amazing, but i think a lot of people are missing the forest for the trees here -- more specifically, who we saw q!bad be for almost six months every day (who we still see him be now).
q!bad is a fundamentally good person by all accounts -- yes, he's a mischievous gremlin, but he's insurmountably generous, selfless in the way he gives without ever expecting anything in return, is dependable at every single turn. even in his lowest moments, he didn't turn his back on that dependability to his own detriment -- he prioritised everyone above himself, not just the eggs but also the other islanders.
q!bad is also... kind. not nice, i actually wouldn't call him nice per se, but he's kind, and loving, and gentle if you know how to read his actions -- just because his lovingness is at times odd to read, it doesn't mean it isn't there.
now, everything i've pointed out so far is not only factually true but also just a spot on indication of what makes a good person, right? well... yes, and no.
by human standards he's not a good person. he lies, cheats, is deceitful and cunning at every turn, is a gaslighter and a manipulator, and his moral compass ends when his emotional attachment does -- he won't hesitate to put his friends through tests and trials that he knows hurt them just to reach a goal, even if it's an ultimate "greater good" type goal.
luckily for q!bad, the man isn't fucking human and so the lense through which we see his character need to be adjusted not only to accommodate his life experience (as we would any character) but also the fact that he's just... not human, he can play pretend and he certainly has spent enough time around humans, but nature vs nurture only goes so far and he was a grown ass adult when he sunk atlantis.
it's honestly just painfully obvious that for better or for worse, q!bad doesn't function like humans do, and i think the best indicator of that is how he views interpersonal relationships, connections, love and trust.
for us, love and trust are intrinsically connected and ultimately need to be present for us to form attachments -- if we don't trust someone, we might get along with them at a superficial level but we won't engage further, right? q!bad sees those two as fundamentally separate parts of relationships -- you cannot argue he doesn't love his friends, or all the eggs, but does he trust everyone? no. because q!bad is very much capable of loving you without trusting you, because his default is distrust. while most of us start a connection with existing trust that can then be broken, he starts them with no trust that needs to be earned.
he doesn't see what's wrong about his friendship with q!foolish, he doesn't see the issue with having been sightseeing at the salem witch trials, pompeii is "the reason he doesn't do beach vacations" and not... yeno, a massive historical tragedy. for q!bad, all of these things are normal because he's a millennia old demon who fundamentally lacks the grasp on some pretty basic human concepts despite his time here (i.e. his whole conversation with q!baghera about lines and mortality).
my point being, q!bad is not a good human, he never claimed to be (on the contrary) and his recent actions show that very well...
... but he *is* a fundamentally good person, without question.
as long as you view the cubito through the lense of our own morality, you'll be depriving yourself of some pretty awesome insights into his character and also just not giving him a fair shake!
he's a terror! he's wiped out civilizations! he's eaten people! he is terrifying and bloody and dark! he's also just a little guy who makes care packages and watches kids and won't turn away anyone in need! all of this is him and for a fair analysis you need to consider the entirety of him for better and for worse!

Thoughts about being sandwiched between Riddle n Azuzu <3
<3 the best sandwich to be in hehe!! Maybe it’s vacation Azuzu and Riddle, who both allow themselves to be just a little less uptight and high-strung, and so since they want to spend as much of their vacation time with you as possible they become incredibly clingy. On your left, Azul clings to your arm and on the right Riddle’s there, insisting on spending the day doing anything that doesn’t include Azul lol. The two of them bicker over you and your time as if it’s the most precious resource on the planet (and in their eyes it is).
Azul ultimately wins when he suggests the three of you go swimming. I feel like Riddle doesn’t know how to swim because he rarely visited the beach as a child. >_< but maybe you also don’t know how to swim, so you and Riddle end up bonding over it while Azul is made teacher.
As for sleeping arrangements!! :) imagine sharing a bed with one of them, but the other sneaks in and so you wake sandwiched between them hehe. <3 sleepy morning sex… orz

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~°~❦~°~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     “Everyone say vacation!” 
     Courtney smiled as they took a group photo of you and everyone else at Smosh. You grinned, looking forward to the time  away from work and daily life. 
     You and the rest of the cast had all flown to a sunny beach town for a week-long company retreat and you now stood in front of a large, bustling resort taking in the warm air, the pinkish glow of the now-setting sun, and sounds of laughter and shouting.
     “Alright everyone, we’re going to have to share rooms because apparently this place is busy this time of year and someone forgot to check availability,” Ian announced, turning to his best friend. 
     “Why are you looking at me?” Anthony said.
     Everyone began discussing who they wanted to bunk with—Shayne moving to stand closer to Damien, Courtney and Olivia linking hands, and Anthony and Ian were already discussing who would sleep in the bed closest to the window—and you watched as everyone paired off. You turned to find Angela next to you.
     “So, everyone’s paired up…what do you say? Roomies?” She asked.
     “Roomies,” you answered, trying to smile. Of course, just your luck. You were glad, in a way—you didn’t want to start your vacation off not finding someone to share with and be stuck feeling like this was middle school all over again—but you couldn’t decide which was worse, that or having to share a room with your ex for the whole week. You figured Angela would have felt the same way. 
     You were over Angela. You thought. You two had dated for the better part of 6 months but you had ultimately decided your relationship was better off as strictly coworkers a couple of months ago. You had both had your part in the relationship failing and you recognized that things were better off this way. But you couldn’t keep away the nagging part of you in the back of your mind that constantly thought what if? What if you had made a mistake ending it? What if your story wasn’t over? 
    You pushed those thoughts away—they were no use to you now—and tried to focus on getting though this week without any uncomfortable experiences. 
     You were brought out of your thoughts by  your party moving towards the resort and you quickly hurried to catch up with them. You saw Angela glance back at you but you ignored it and the feeling you got in your chest as she did so.
     You all found your rooms relatively easily after a long trip up many stairs—of course the elevators were out of order for service this week—and many of them were on the same floor. You walked towards the door of your room and slid the keycard in.
     Small. The first thought you had as you walked into your and Angela’s room some hours later was that it was incredibly small for a five star resort hotel. You figured since they were so booked it must have been all they had.
     Which explained why there was only one space that doubled as a bedroom and a living area, one closet, and, you realized with horror, one bed. 
     You heard Angela come up behind you. 
     “This is it,” you gestured to the room. 
     “Where’s the rest of it?” She asked, stepping in and looking around. 
     You set down your suitcase and sighed as Angela glanced around, her eyes landing on the bed.
     “I’ll sleep on the floor,” Angela offered.
     “Angela, I can’t let you do that. I’ll sleep on the floor.” 
     Angela threw up her hands. “So, we’ll both sleep on the floor then.”
     “Doesn’t that seem like a waste of a perfectly good bed?” You asked.
     “I wouldn’t say perfectly good,” Angela mumbled, “I’ve seen documentaries about how they don’t wash those.”
     You rolled your eyes at her internally, but you had to try not to smile. It wasn’t the first time you’d heard this spiel.
     “Well, someone has to sleep in it,” you said.
     Angela pulled at a strand of her hair. You looked at your shoes. This was ridiculous. You could be adults about this. What was the harm if you and Angela shared the bed? There wasn’t anything weird between you. You were…acquaintances, weren’t you?
     Before you could change your mind you said, “We could share it.”
     That got Angela’s attention. 
     “I mean, there’s no reason why we cant, right?” You added. The words even though we broke up were left unspoken between you. 
     “Of course not,” Angela said but she looked like she would rather sleep on the floor. 
     You figured this whole thing must be awkward for her too. Of course, you knew she had moved on from you. You had no doubt of that. But still, you assumed sharing a bed with your ex had to be uncomfortable for everyone, right?
     Either way, it was settled and so a few minutes later you found yourself climbing into bed with Angela on the other side of you, careful to keep your back to her and your body as close to your edge as possible. 
     The last thing you remembered before you drifted off to sleep was hearing Angela’s snores and thinking that you were right back where you were a few months ago. 
                ₊˚ ✧ ‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿ ✧ ₊˚
     When you woke up Angela was already out of bed and you breathed a sigh of relief that you didn’t have to face her and could avoid a potentially awkward situation. At least that was something, you thought, as you made yourself get out of bed at what you thought was far too early a time to start a day on vacation. 
     You heard the water water running and decided you would shower that night rather than cross Angela in the bathroom. You threw on the first pair of pants you found in your suitcase and began looking through tops in the closet. You finally settled on one and had just taken off your pajama shirt when something made you pause and you stopped moving as you heard a familiar sound. 
     Angela was singing in the shower. You instinctively took a step closer to the bathroom. She was singing some show tune that you didn’t recognize but the sound was so familiar, so comfortable that you felt as if you’d heard the song before.
     You took another step closer. It was a quiet sound, but her voice grew louder as you stood outside the bathroom door and all you could think of was that it was beautiful. 
    You didn’t know why this was affecting you so much. Probably because it reminded you of when you and Angela were you and Angela. You’d heard her sing plenty of times when you were together. In fact, she’d always made you sing with her so she didn’t hyperventilate trying to sing all of Non-Stop. You’d say you had a lousy voice and she’d tell you the angels were jealous of the way you sounded. You stopped yourself before you got lost in the memory. 
     Unfortunately, you didn’t stop yourself in time to hear Angela’s shower water turn off or her singing stop. 
    You were made aware of this by the door opening and nearly hitting you in the face. Angela looked as shocked to see you as you were to come face to face with her. 
     “(Y/n), what are you—” 
     She cut off and her eyes widened as she looked at you. You caught your reflection in the mirror of the bathroom and you immediately understood why. You had forgotten that you were in the process of changing when you had stopped to listen to Angela.
     You now stood in your pants with your shirt in your hand and nothing but your bra on top—you praised all that was good and holy that you had been too tired to take it off last night before you went to bed—and you stood there in shock. You quickly covered your chest with your shirt but it was too late. The damage had already been done.
     Angela stared at you and you couldn’t read her expression. Surprised? Annoyed? That had to be it, you supposed you wouldn’t be too happy either if you got out of the shower to find someone half-naked lingering outside your bathroom. 
     “Angela, I’m sorry, I was just—” You tried, but she interrupted.
     “It’s ok, bathroom’s all yours,” she said, stepping past you and looking at the ground. You figured it was in your best interest to go along and pretend that you had been waiting for the bathroom so you just stepped in and locked the door, trying not to notice how the room smelled like her. Like her perfume, her conditioner, everything that you remembered from before. You looked at your weary reflection in the mirror.
     It’s going to be a long vacation, you told your reflection, but all it did was stare back at you.
₊˚ ✧ ‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿ ✧ ₊˚
     The next day passed in flashes of beaches and gift shops and avoiding Angela. You had been having fun, or trying to really, despite your living situation.
     Things with Angela were especially awkward after that morning. What was wrong with you?
     I am over Angela. 
     And that became your mantra. As you watched her laugh and talk with all of your cast mates. As you tried not to stare at her and her adorable blue bikini. And especially as you dreaded that night and the horrors it would inevitably bring. At least with everyone else around you could safely navigate your vacation without really having to interact with her. But then you would have to go back to your room and back to your bed and you didn’t know if you could take it. Maybe you were wrong about being able to be perfectly fine with this. 
     I am over Angela.
     And maybe if you said it enough times you’d actually believe it.
    “(Y/n), did you hear me?” Angela tapped you on the shoulder.
     “Oh, no sorry, what?” You asked, dazed.
     “I just asked if you wanted a snow cone, I was going to buy us some,” she gestured to a stand a few hundred feet away. 
     “Oh, no thank you,” you answered and all you could think of was her touch on your arm. 
     You were doomed. 
     “(Y/n), are you ok?” You felt someone come up beside you and you turned around. Arasha was looking at you with a concerned expression on her face. “You’ve been acting weird all day.”
     You supposed you had. “Oh, I’m just tired, that’s all.”
     You risked a glance at Angela and Arasha just nodded but you didn’t think she believed you. 
     After that, everyone started to part ways and go off to explore the city on their own. 
     Amanda turned back to you from where she and Shayne were standing. “You coming with?”
     “I’ll catch up,” you called. You weren’t in any hurry. You stopped to look in the window of a cute little candle shop. There was no reason you couldn’t enjoy your vacation on your own. You were glad of the peace and quiet for a moment. 
     “Hey, where’d everybody go?” Angela ran up to you with a tray full of snow cones. You shrugged.
     “That’s the last time I do anything nice for those lousy—”
     You let out a chuckle. She smiled at you and it was impossible for you not to smile back.
     “So, any place you particularly wanna see?” Angela gestured around as she began eating a snow cone. She held one out to you and you took it.
     “Nothing in particular,” you answered honestly. 
     “Well, then we can see nothing together,” she began walking and you kept pace with her. 
     This was good, you thought. Just a nice, casual walk around the city with Angela like two coworkers would do.
     You made small talk about your job and the things around you and it was easy enough. Angela talked enough for the both of you, so you just piped in when necessary and kept your eyes firmly on the snow cone in your hand. Which was probably why you didn’t see the pole in front of you. 
     “(Y/n), watch out!” Angela jumped in front of you, throwing down the tray of snow cones, and pulled you out of the way just before your forehead connected with the metal pole.
     Your heavy breathing had nothing to do with the near-accident that had almost occurred. Angela gripped your sides tightly and you were closer to her than you had been in a while. For a moment you two just looked at each other before you pulled away and mumbled a quick “thanks”. 
     You were debating wether or not to say more when Chanse walked out of a shop in front of you and fell in to step with Angela. She looked back at you briefly before continued again and as you walked behind them you repeated the only thing keeping you sane. 
     I am over Angela. I am over Angela. I am over Angela.
₊˚ ✧ ‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿ ✧ ₊˚
     By the time you got back to your hotel room it was late and all you wanted to do was fall asleep and not think about Angela or this day. You were just about to climb into bed when you realized that someone was already there.
     Angela. She must have gotten back before you and was already asleep. You paused a moment to watch her sleeping form—she looked so calm and peaceful—before slipping in to your side of the bed, staying as far away from her as possible. You shivered under the sliver of blankets that you had—Angela had wrapped them all around her. You supposed it wouldn’t be the end of the world if you scooted a tiny bit towards Angela in order to be covered by the warm sheets. It wasn’t exactly comfortable, but it would do, you thought. Your eyelids began to droop as you shivered again. Maybe if you just…shifted… a little…towards…
…Angela. You awoke that morning and the first thing you saw was Angela. Her head was on your chest and your arms were over her back. Your initial horror dissolved into contentment as she nestled her head into you in her sleep and her hair tickled your collarbone. She felt warm in your arms and you didn’t want her to wake up quite yet. Because she wouldn’t be doing this is if she were conscious. You knew you should just sneak out from under Angela and out of bed before she woke up and found you like this but you couldn’t make yourself. 
     Because as you lay here like this with your ex-girlfriend you couldn’t seem to remember why you broke up. This felt right.  You knew you could never say any of this to Angela—she’d moved on from you like you’d failed to do with her. Because you realized then that you weren’t over Angela. 
     You felt Angela begin to stir and you tried to move your body out from under hers but you only got about halfway when she opened her eyes and blinked at you.
     “(Y/n)?” She took in your close proximity and her head in your chest. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. Her voice was gravely from sleep as she said, “Well, I guess we were cold last night.”
     You nodded and let yourself pretended that was it. 
     “I’m going to go get us some more towels,” you said, standing up and walking towards the door. You didn’t even bother putting on a robe or clothes and figured you’d take your chances wearing your pajamas in the hall rather than staying in here with Angela.
     Once you were out of the room you leaned up against the door and took a deep breath. Your cheeks were hot and you ran a hand through your messy hair. 
     “(Y/n), what are you doing?”
     It was Arasha. She walked towards you from a room down the hallway and you met her in the middle.
     “Getting some air,” you said, “You?” 
     “Couldn’t sleep” she answered and you looked out a window, seeing the dark sky and realizing it was earlier than you thought. Probably no later than 5:30 in the morning. 
     “Are you ok, really?” She asked hesitantly when you didn’t answer.
     You sighed. What was the harm in telling her really? She knew you and Angela had dated. Everyone did. She could probably guess on her own; maybe she already had.
     “It’s Angela,” you admitted. “I thought sharing a room with her would be fine since it’s been a couple months since we broke up but it’s not fine.”
     Arasha frowned, “You’re not on good terms? I thought you two stayed friends after your breakup.”
     “No, it’s not that,” you said, swallowing. “I—I think I’m still in love with her.”
     Arasha’s eyes widened and you fumbled for words.
     “Everything she does reminds me of how things used to be and I’ve tried to keep my distance and remind myself why we’re not together anymore but none of those reasons really seem compelling anymore and I know it’s a bad idea and it could never happen but—”
     Arasha put a hand in your shoulder, interrupting you. “I think if you really love her, then tell her. What’s the worst that could happen?”
     “I could make things more awkward than they already are?” You bit your bottom lip.
     “If worst comes to worst, you can stay with me. Amanda snores anyway.” She laughed and you joined her, grateful for her help and advice.
     “So does Angela,” you remarked fondly, “Thanks, Arash, I appreciate it. I’ll find a way to tell her. I just don’t know what she’ll say.”
    “I think she’ll say that she completely agrees with you.”
     You spun around at the sound of Angela’s voice. 
     “Angela, I—”
     She put up a hand. “I heard everything. I was going to ask you to bring up some muffins with you.”
     Arasha backed up. “I’ll catch you guys later.” She gave you an encouraging smile as she went back into her room and left you and Angela alone in the hall. 
     You said, “Angela—”
     At the same time as she said, “I love you too, (Y/n).”
     “I didn’t mean—wait, what? You do?” You stared at her in shock.
     “I still love you. Actually, I never stopped loving you,” she said, more quietly now. She looked so vulnerable then and you wanted to reach out to her but you didn’t.
     “But we said we were better off as coworkers, as—”
     Angela shrugged, “And how’s that working for us?” 
     You thought about the way this week was going so far for you and realized you hadn’t even considered that Angela felt the same way. That everything was just as hard for her as it was for you. If this trip had taught you anything it was that some things—some people—were worth second chances. 
     You closed the distance between her and kissed her. Kissed her like you’d been waiting to kiss her for thousands of years. In a way, it felt like that. As she kissed you back, you thought that this was how it was meant to be. 
     “You know what? You’re right, I think this works a lot better,” you said breathily.
     She smiled at you. “So, what do you say we go back to bed?” 
     “As long as you stay on you’re side,” you teased her, starting to walk towards your room. You were glad things were more comfortable between you. It wasn’t perfect, but you’d make up for the time you lost together. You still had five whole days of vacation, and you were going to make the most of them.  
     “That,” Angela responded, walking through the doorway and turning back around, looking at you with a twinkle in her eye, “I can’t promise.”
