#yes I’m- I’m a walking rainbow band

[eqt-95]

Hi hello! I found the ask game related to the hearts finally so I’ll ask for 🤎 for supercorp if it sparks joy?

oh it does, it does spark joy! many thanks for the ask from both of you.

🤎 multiple kisses / kisses all over / kiss after kiss

- - - - - - -

“We’re playing Doctor!” Kara shouted excitedly when Alex, Kelly, and Lena walked in to find the apartment in absolute disarray, Kara mummified with ace bandages, covered in stickers, and talking past a thermometer sticking out of her mouth, and Esme unraveling a ball of yarn.

“During an apocalypse?” Alex asked, bypassing the pile of forgotten pillows and cushions, over the stacks of books, and through the disaster zone of puzzle pieces and legos. 

“I’m a warrior injured from battle,” Kara scoffed, annoyance on her scrunched face. “See the armor?”

It was nearly impossible to see the cardboard cutouts from under all of the gauze.

“Yea, and I am her princess and the world’s best nurse,” Esme added. She reached for Kara’s hand and began tying the yarn around her wrist. “We just need to lift your arm to rest,” Esma continued, trying gallantly to hoist Kara’s arm.

“Is that my emergency med pack?” Alex asked, eyeing the black canvas bag wearily and the equipment scattered around it. 

“We ran out of band-aids,” Esme explained. “But don’t worry, we didn’t use yours. They were too boring.”

“You should get the colorful kind like the Bluey ones,” Kara added.

Before Alex could get a word, or sigh of resignation in, Esme extended her hand toward her: “Can you hold this, please?”

And that’s how Alex got roped into holding the length of rainbow yarn to elevate Kara’s very unbroken arm while Esme removed the thermometer from Kara’s mouth.

“Uh-oh,” she scowled.

“Uh-oh?” Kara asked with exaggerated worry. “What’s wrong nurse?”

“Just what I susepted.”

“Suspected, babe,” Kelly offered from the kitchen where she and Lena exchanged smirks at Alex’s expense.

“Right, suspested,” Esme said. “It’s bad news.”

“How bad, Nurse?”

“We need to cut off your arm.”

“What? Isn’t there anything else? A disgusting herb? A powerful potion?” Kara rambled. “I really need my arm to hold a sword.”

“Hmm,” Esme pondered. “There is one thing. But it’s magic” “Anything,” Kara said without missing a beat. “Please, Nurse, please!”

“Ok. Are you ready?”

Kara grimaced, clenched her eyes shut and nodded. 

In turn, Esme gave Kara’s elbow a quick kiss. “You’re healed!”

Kara opened one eye and peered toward her arm still held up by Alex and yarn. She cautiously flexed her fingers then rolled her wrist and rotated her elbow. “I’m healed!”

“Yes, you’re healed. Now please leave my house,” Alex mumbled.

------

“Hey,” Lena said when Kara stirred. 

“Hey, back,” Kara mumbled, reaching for Lena’s hand to squeeze. She hummed then opened her eyes, finding Lena then offering a dopey grin. A sign Lena could sigh with relief. “Was I out long?”

“A couple hours. You didn’t completely blow your powers, so you should recover quickly.”

Kara nodded then winced as she sat up. “And the others?”

“J’onn and Dreamer handled the rest,” Lena explained, helping adjust a pillow. “You provided enough distraction that no one else was injured.”

“Tell that to my face,” Kara huffed, lifting a hand to rub her jaw. “I think I need Nurse Esme to make me all better.”

“I think Nurse Esme is in the middle of show-and-tell,” Lena replied. “But I’ll see if Alex has a Bluey band-aid for you.”

“Or,” Kara said, then blushed beet red. “Or we could try magic.”

“I am not about to…” Lena squinted then rolled her eyes. “Oh, I see. You don’t mean my magic.”

“Well, it-it would kind of be your magic,” Kara replied, fingers worrying at the blanket in her lap. “Just, a different kind.”

Lena refrained from rolling her eyes again when Kara offered the biggest, sappiest look. 

“If you think it’ll work,” Lena answered, and she pretended not to see the glee in Kara’s face.

“It would. It really would.”

And that’s how Lena found herself pressing a kiss to Kara’s eagerly lifted cheek.

“There. Better?” Lena chuckled, leaning back into her chair and missing the way Kara’s face chased after Lena’s retreated lips.

“Um…” Kara answered, a bit downtrodden with her lower lip beginning to protrude outward.

“Um?”

“It’s just that, actually I’m pretty sure it was my left side.”

Lena tried containing a smile and resisted letting a disbelieving eyebrow arc. “Is that right?”

“I guess I forgot?”

“Maybe I should get Alex in here to check for brain damage,” Lena teased.

“No, no, it’s ok. I just… I’m still groggy and sleepy, but I just need a little more, um…”

“Magic?”

“Exactly. Then I’ll be all better.”

A kiss landed on Kara’s other temple. “Was it here?” Lena asked, lips still pressed against warm skin.

“A-a bit lower,” Kara answered, face flushing red.

“How about here?” Lena asked, offering another kiss an inch lower.

“Getting uhm,” Kara coughed. “Getting closer?”

Lena continued trailing kisses down the length of Kara’s jawline, no longer waiting for Kara’s fibs to guide her. 

“How’s that, darling?” Lena asked when the final one landed at the edge of Kara’s mouth.

“Just one more,” Kara answered, tugging a laughing Lena onto the bed and pressing a final kiss to her lips. “There,” she sighed. “All healed.”

After Show

Eddie Munson x F!Reader

Eddie takes care of his girl after her first Rock Concert

Fluff

Eddie could feel Y/N’s hot breath on the back of his neck as he carried her from the venue to the car.

Half asleep, she grumbled when he hitched her up his back to be able to get his keys from his pocket.

“I know, Sweetheart. I’m sorry. Go back to sleep.”

She nuzzled her nose under the collar of his band shirt and leather jacket before she settled.

He managed to unlock the passenger side door of his van and open it with the limited mobility he had. He let out a sigh as he stared at the sizable space between the ground and the chair.

“This should be interesting,” he murmured.

It took a bit of creative problem solving and a nearly thrown out back, but Eddie Munson still managed to get his beloved girlfriend in the seat without waking her.

He buckled her in and shut the door. He gave a stretch to loosen his sore back as he walked to the drivers side.

He turned the volume dial of his radio down before he switched on his car and began the two hour journey back to Hawkins.

Every now and then, he looked over at Y/N. Her head laid against the headrest, her mouth opened and released soft snores. Her chest rose and fell under the matching tour tee he bought with each of her steady breaths.

He grinned, satisfied. Her first ever live metal concert a success.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Metalhead pulled up to his trailer and shut off the ignition. He climbed out of the van, and jogged over to the passengers side. The creak of the metal door made him grit his teeth. He held his breath until it was fully open. When he saw her undisturbed, he exhaled.

He grabbed the belt before he unbuckled the seatbelt so that it wouldn't go sliding up and hit her. He gently picked her up. Eddie cradled Y/N in his arms and carried her up to his trailer, using his hip to close the van door.

“Eddie,” she mumbled against his neck, sleepily. “Are we home yet?”

He smiled at the fact she considered his trailer as home. “Almost there, Baby. A few more steps."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eddie placed her onto his bed. She gave a little stretch before she rolled over and snuggled into his pillow.

He touched the back of her head and ran his ringed fingers through her hair before he leaned in to press a kiss to her temple.

He walked to the end of the bed and gently removed her beat up converse. He stared at the light wash denim she wore.

"Sweetheart," he whispered.

"Hmm?" she responded.

"Is it okay if I take your jeans off so that you can be more comfortable?"

"Pajama pants?"

"Yes. I'll give you my pajama pants."

"The plaid ones."

"Yup."

"Okay," she mumbled before she buried her face into his pillow.

He removed her jeans and replaced them with his well worn plaid PJ pants. He grabbed the blanket off of the end of the bed and draped it over her.

He kicked off his own shoes and removed his jeans, vest, and leather jacket. Eddie climbed in behind her and pressed his chest to her back. His arm wrapped around her waist and gently held her.

Y/N unconsciously snuggled back into him. Eddie grinned into her hair as his eyes slipped shut.

"Night, Eddie."

“Goodnight, Sweetheart.”

 Later when he’s back at the apartment with Oli, as Louis is somewhat dreamily waxing poetic about Ethan, Oli interrupts.- “Does he quote Shakespeare when you fuck?” he asks, poking at the sizzling eggs on the stove. Louis’ cheeks turn suspiciously pink. Oli peers at his face. “Oh my god, he DOES. I KNEW IT.” He triumphantly brandishes his spatula in the air.

2) Shut Your Mouth, Baby | Explicit | 3028 words

While fooling around in a closet at a New Year’s Eve party, Louis can’t seem to keep quiet. All he needs to do is hold off until midnight, when Harry will finally uncover his mouth and let him come at full volume.

3) Bank Holiday Weekend | Mature | 4135 words

8) Cat Got Your Tongue? | Explicit | 5523 words

“Who the fuck are you?” Harry screeches and jumps back in surprise. The man drops the popcorn bowl on the carpet and stands up, raising his hands in surrender, “Hey, it's me.” Harry frowns. He has never seen this man in his life. He stares at the wide blue eyes and… holy shit. There's no way. Harry rephrases his question, “what are you?"

9) I’m So Drunk On You (Baby, You’re All That I Want) | Explicit | 5875 words

A lucid celebration yet of nothing in particular, and it was that he found alluring, begged to make himself a part of. "Come on, H live a little." Louis pleaded without care for the sigh that slipped his lips, for the smile that they both formed were proof enough he'd given in. So giddy within skips toward the centre where they gathered, the smaller carried Harry close behind to join the chaos.

10) Snow At The Beach | Mature | 7885 words

The little Matthew Styles had been throwing objects into his cute omega neighbor's yard only for the adorable blue-eyed boy to come to his house to return them and talk to his father.

11) Don’t Let The Fire Die | Explicit | 8850 words

Harry makes a long trip to take back what is his.

12) The Box | Explicit | 8895 words

The last sight that Louis is presented with before Harry is gone from view is the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen arching his back, with his head thrown upwards, mouth slightly open. And fuck. 

13) Touch Me (Like Nobody Else Does) | Mature | 11459 words

The alpha’s grin returned tenfold, deep dimples popping into his cheeks. Holy shit, he has dimples. “No, I don’t mind at all. I know where to find you when I need it back,” he said with a chuckle before leaning back into his seat. Louis let out a small giggle before nodding. “I’ll be sure it gets returned to you…?” He trailed off, one eyebrow raised at the other man. “Harry,” he replied, amusement still shining in his eyes. “And you are?” “Louis,” the omega responded before leaning back into his seat averting his eyes once again. “Thank you, really, for the charger. You’re a lifesaver. I’m not sure how I would’ve made it through without my Netflix.”

14) Cause I’m Really Not Fine At All | Mature | 13679 words

Louis Tomlinson, one of the famous members of One Direction, is involved in a car accident that caused him to have amnesia, wiping all the last five years of his life from the memory.

Harry is baffled and shocked at the situation that's thrown in his face. He finds himself learning how to be a good boyfriend for Louis. It has to be easy.. 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵?

15) Roommates | Mature | 18604 words

16) Play By The Rules | Explicit | 21835 words

“Okay,” Harry clears his throat. “Sit on the bed, um, slut.” A beat of silence passes between them as Louis raises an unimpressed eyebrow. “You want to try saying that like you mean it?” Harry pouts, jutting out his lower lip. “But I don’t mean it, Lou. I feel like I’m being mean.”

17) You Bring Blue Lights To Dreams | Explicit | 30177 words

A body slid up behind him and he tensed until he realized it was Jailen, “So… Louis’ pretty cool huh?” He whispered so Louis wouldn't hear from the other side of the barn. “I mean yeah,” Harry responded, brows furrowing together before he realized what Jailen was really saying, “Jailen no that’s not- no. Nothing’s going to happen so don’t meddle, I’m serious.” “I’m not doing anything my dear Harold, I cannot control what happens naturally. Come on Harry, I know you’ve been getting restless with the whole finding your soulmate thing, it might be time to just try and put yourself out there for a while.”

18) He's Driving Me Crazy... But... I'm Into It | Explicit | 56219 words

The boys are organising a holiday in France for Louis, and Harry is able to make the trip at the last minute thanks to Niall. While things seem to be off to a bad start between them, it seems that some of the behaviour is just pretend. And of course, Louis is annoying, and Harry is his usual calm self... But the others don't seem to understand Louis' feelings, and that's not something Harry will let pass. If they gain more than friendship, that's just a bonus.

19) Your Eyes Are Tired But Keep Them Open Cause You Wouldn’t Wanna Miss A Thing | Explicit | 137451 words

Louis is an omega in an abusive relationship everyone forced him into; he’s miserable until he meets his favorite student’s uncle, Harry, a gentle alpha with a big heart.

20) Sewn Into You | Explicit | 167485 words

Harry Styles thinks soulmates are a fairytale, or in other words-a lie. He has no interest in entertaining anything that has anything to do with the very name that had been etched along his collarbone since his eighteenth birthday. Louis Tomlinson won't be answering to another alpha for the rest of his life if he can help it. Fuck happy endings, his soul mate can choke on it. Problem is, Harry needs a personal assistant to save his family's business, Louis needs the cash to officially move off of his childhood best-friend's couch. They can manage. Surely, nothing will go wrong.

i meeeeannn like so much shit man!

I spent the entirety of last year following on livestreams. That was my experience, dodgy sounds and extreme barricade closeups. So this was like a slap in the face a punch in the stomach.

-His voice is phenomenal. After watching almost every livestream last year I was always anxious what it would sound like actually live and it was beyond perfect. The confidence added to it as well. There was a discussion before the tour started on one blog saying how Louis doesn’t sound loud enough (as loud as harry’s show because surprise, that’s always the metric to measure) because he doesn’t turn his mic high enough. And the suggestion was due to his confidence and blah blah blah. Wow fuck man, you were wrong. His voice was loud and crystal clear. I’d say my seat definitely helped in that as well, but yeah no he was fucking loud!

-Him liking the SIBWAW lights and then telling us to keep going and us being like “yes master” and continued to lift our hands up and down to finish the song. Giving us an unnecessary workout. Like my right arm is going to be sore af tomorrow.

-Him completely forgetting his first speech. I’m like ‘why the fuck is he angry at us for?’. Me and my friend were discussing how he’s going to say Toronto because the Academic singer pronounced the second ‘T’ so heavily...but then he completely forgot to speak and I thought we’ll end the show without finding it out! It felt personal ok?!

-The screens malfunctioning and completely turning off during holding onto heartache, made me question every effect in the screens later. Like was everything on purpose or was it the effect of the screen fuck up esp since there was a dead pixel that was driving me nuts. Regardless, the visuals on the screens are unreal. I can watch them with the music overlaid on top all day. Also the color palette of the lights on the stage for different songs were so so so nice. Mixed with the smoke mmmm beautiful vision.

-The rainbow project. man oh man. I saw the videos and I saw my own video and it does it no justice. I was in the upper red section so I got to see it all with a good view and it was perfection. Literarily surrounded by light. I always admire the fan project organizers. They are so fucking good and don’t get enough credit. Honestly I want to send them a gift basket or something.

-505 killed me. Like on the floor dead. “I crumble completely when you cry...” is a moment. I want to be in a session with him when he picks a song to cover. Like what goes on in that process?

-The band. Incredible. Michael. Incredible. So grateful he gets to tour with Louis so he can give him his moments. Like he OWNS his solos.

-People at the first two shows were saying how young the crowd was...I was surprised by today’s crowd. From the moment we walked in, people were definitely younger than me (34) but it didn’t feel as young as I thought it would be. Also loved seeing plenty of people older than me being there with their friends and you can tell they’ve been here a while. Diverse age group is always welcome.

agh man the only reason I’m not keyboard smashing is because I did that already in the streetcar but out loud to my friend. But my reaction to the entire gig is essentially one endless keyboard smash.

-Also finally after the show me and my friend got the orange hoodies because we wanted to look like traffic cones.

Definitely suffering the post concert blues. But at least I get to visit new york in july and attend the final one. Although nothing will beat Toronto because Toronto is home!

Never Lost Pt1

~Ongoing~

Drukkari x female reader

College Au

Summary: You meet your new roommate Makkari and her friends at college. Something begins developing between you, Druig, and Makkari, but will insecurities and sorority girls get in the way of your blooming romance?

(disclaimer! This series is unedited and will have errors- I apologize)

You smiled as you felt the fresh warm air hit your face, stepping out of the car you admired to view in front of you.The dorm buildings were huge and lavish, you could only imagine what the inside looked like. 

You were snapped out of your thoughts by your mom nudging your shoulder

“Come on Y/n, we don’t have all day and I have a flight to catch” She grabbed some of your bags from the backseat and began walking towards the dorm doors, you playfully rolled your eyes- it was 8 AM you both had plenty of time to get your stuff unpacked.

Your mother had gratefully made the drive up to California with you in your car, but she was catching a flight back home this evening in order to get back in time for work.

You grabbed one of the duffel bags and slung it around your shoulder before grabbing a box and following after your mom, you found her talking with the receptionist at the front desk of the building, they both looked at you as you approached

“Hi! You must be Y/n?” the woman questioned and you groaned

“Mom, what have you told her?” your mom just shook her head with a small smile

“I’m just trying to find out where your room is y/n” She stated, you squinted your eyes at her in suspicion

“Right, I just need you to sign a few papers and then i can give you your keycard- it’s used to get in your dorm, foodhall, and lounge rooms” 

“Ok cool” You set down your stuff and grabbed the pen handed to you, briefly reading over everything before signing

“So she has a roommate right?” Your mom inquired

“Yes, she arrived yesterday so all of her stuff will be in the room already, i’m not sure if she’s there currently but i guess you’ll find out” The receptionist said

“She?” Your mother turned to you with an inquisitive smirk on her face and you had to physically restrain yourself from rolling your eyes again. 

It was no secret that you were bisexual, and you were lucky to have a mother that was accepting but it also meant that she was buying you anything and everything that had a rainbow and assumed you were going to fall in love with every girl you met. You were lucky you did most of the shopping for your dorm by yourself or you’re almost entirely sure your bedspread and school supplies would all be rainbow.

You waved a polite goodbye to the front desk lady as you picked up your bags and new keycard and began walking to your dorm, you had to take the elevator because your room was on the second floor but you didn’t mind as you didn’t have anything too heavy to unpack anyway.

You scanned the keycard until the lock flashed green and entered the room, you looked over to the other side that was practically already fully decorated and noticed a few track trophies and posters of older bands of music, they had good taste you decided. 

You set your stuff down on your side, throwing the duffle bag onto the bed before following it and laying down. 

Huh, the bed wasn’t as bad as you thought it’d be. 

Your mother huffed “no no no Y/n there is no time for resting, we’ve got to unpack the rest of the car come on” She left no room for arguments as she exited the room, she was always one to worry about time crunches.

You ran after your mom as she nearly speed walked out of the building, stopping in the lobby to catch your breath when you noticed by far the prettiest girl you’d ever seen walk into the building, she was dressed in a crop top and leggings showing off her beautiful caramel skin and good physique as she wiped sweat off her neck with a towel, obviously coming back from some sort of run.

She looked over at you, catching you staring and giving you the most beautiful smile you’d ever seen before waving and walking away. Oh yeah, you liked this college already. 

You and your mom grabbed the rest of your stuff and you locked your car before making your way back, this time when you opened your door there was someone inside and you thanked the heavens for whoever assigned the roommates. The same girl you’d run into downstairs was sitting on her bed and scrolling on her phone, looking up when you and your mother entered

“Oh look Y/n! Hi, I’m y/n’s mother it’s nice to meet you” You mother set down the boxes she was holding and walked over to the pretty girl who sat up to shake your moms hand 

“What’s your name darling?” your mother questioned, you could see the girl paying avid attention to your mom’s mouth, you were about to question it before your eyes were drawn down to her hands as she signed her name M-a-k-k-a-r-i. Ah, now you understood, she was reading her lips.

You smiled to yourself as you put down your boxes and walked over, introducing yourself in return, the girl looked mildly surprised but more pleased than anything.

“You speak sign language?” She signed

You nodded “My nephew is deaf so i learned it so I could communicate with him-, you explained

“That’s very sweet of you” 

“Thank you”

“Well i’m glad to see you two getting along already” you mother interjected “but we need to get you set up Hon” she turned to you and you sighed

“Alright”

Makkari offered to help and despite you telling her you didn’t want to inconvenience her, she still helped you set up a few things, the three of you working together got the unpacking done a lot faster than you’d excepted and by the time noon came around you were practically finished 

“Shit that was fast” you expressed, Makkari smiling and your mother swatting you on the shoulder

You sat down on your bed as your mother announced she was going to the bathroom, Makkari sat across from you on her bed

“So,” you began signing “You do track?” you nodded your head in the direction of her trophies

She beamed “Yes! I love running, it’s always been very therapeutic for me”

You snorted “couldn’t be me, exercise is not my thing, the most I can do is like 2 push-ups and a hike to the nearest ice cream shop”

She shook her head, pretending to scold you “exercise is very important, helps to keep you healthy”

“Amongst other things” you muttered to yourself, trying hard not to look at the abs showing slightly under the crop top she was wearing, when you looked back up she was smirking. Shit, had she read your lips?

Your mother burst back in right at that moment, complaining that you hadn’t moved since she left and forcing you to get off your bed to continue setting everything up, there were still some things you needed, like food for the next week at least and a few textbooks so after finishing your room you waved goodbye to Makkari and went off with your mom.

You had a feeling this school year was going to be interesting, to say the least

Yay Chapter 1! As always, Please leave a comment to tell me what you thought!- Starry

Pt2.

An Unexpected Guest (a Trolls fanfic)

Summary: A Bergen wedding is interrupted by the arrival of a newcomer

A/N: Yes, this is my take on the full opening scene of Trolls Band Together 😀

__________________________________________

Celebration was in full swing in Bergen Town.

Trolls – from all over Troll Kingdom – and Bergens alike were there, setting up lots of decorations and getting into a festive mood. Well, mostly festive. Cloud Guy, who was lying belly-up in a pizza box from Captain Starfunkle’s was feeling stuffed (that bachelor party was wild after all) and it wasn’t long before he sat up and vomited a bunch of rainbow glitter.

So, what was the occasion this day though? Only one that everyone had anticipated for a long time: it was the wedding of King Gristle and his soon-to-be bride and former scullery maid, Bridget! It was something that was inevitable to happen, given how much in love the two Bergens were, and in a matter of time it had happened – the king had proposed, Bridget had gladly agreed to marry, and now the big day had come! Since Trolls loved to sing, and singing in turn made the job of setting up go faster, the Trolls were happily belting out a well-known tune, their voices carrying out loudly and melodically.

“We are family!

I got all my sisters and me,

We are family!

Come on everybody and sing!”

Overseeing everything as they rode along on some fuzzy bug-like creatures were Queen Poppy and Branch - the Trolls who’d had a hand in saving the Bergens from their misery, bringing Bridget and Gristle together in the first place, helped to unite the Troll Kingdom, and were now an official couple. Down below, they could see much of their friends making preparations. Cooper, his brother Prince D, and some of the other Funk and Pop Trolls were helping the Bergens decorate the aisle that Bridget was going to walk down. Guy Diamond was fitting Tiny Diamond into a flower costume, gushing when he was finished.

“Tiny Diamond,” he said in his techno-like voice, “You make the cuuuutest little flower boy!”

Tiny Diamond on the other hand did not share his father’s enthusiasm. He frowned. “Come on, Daddy, I told you. I’m the cutest little flower MAN!” He flung the flowers from his basket up in a flourish, trying to make himself look cool.

Branch and Poppy chuckled, their focus shifting from the wedding prep to each other. The pink and blue Trolls happily high-fived each other, loving the great connection they shared, and began to sing.

“Everyone can see we're together

As we walk on by,

And we fly just like birds of a feather,

I won't tell no lie,

All of the people around us, they say, yeah, yeah,

Can they be that close?

Just let me state for the record,

We're giving love in a family dose!”

Laughing, the two Trolls descended for a brief moment.

“Everything looks gorgeous so far!” Poppy squealed, in awe of everything and how it was coming together.

Branch nodded, smiling and agreeing. “Yeah, this is gonna be pretty good.”

“I know! And, to make things even better, I brought all of my records so we can pick some stuff to play at the reception!” She demonstrated, pulling out a bunch of albums from her hair and sifting through them.

“I just can’t decide what to put on first – there’s so much good stuff!” Poppy exclaimed. “ChristTrolla Huguilera, Justin Timber and Lakes, Britney Sparkles, the Spice Trolls...” Poppy trailed off when she got to the last one in her pile, her words turning into one big squeal. “OHH! I got it!”

“What?” Branch asked.

Poppy held up an album with five multi-colored Trollings on the cover. The queen was overjoyed. “BroZone! We should totally play BroZone!”

Branch flinched. Of all things, she had a record for BroZone ?

Well, duh, they were the ‘hottest boy band of the century.’ Supposedly.

Poppy, however, completely missed the expression on Branch’s face at the mention of the band. She was already pulling out a record player and bumping the CD, the music ringing out loud and clear for all around to hear. Trolls nearby clapped and sang along to the beat as four voices perfectly harmonized from the speakers.

“Ooh, yeah,

You might been hurt, babe,

That ain't no lie,

You've seen them all come and go, oh,

I remember you told me,

That it made you believe in,

No man, no cry,

Maybe that's why,

Every little thing I do,

Never seems enough for you,

You don't want to lose it again,

But I'm not like them,

Baby, when you finally,

Get to love somebody,

Guess what?

It's gonna be me!”

Branch gave a weak laugh, trying to hide the sickening feeling that was rising from his stomach up into his throat, and addressed his girlfriend. “Poppy, you don’t want to put that on.”

Poppy gasped at him. “What! Why not?”

Branch gulped. He couldn’t tell her the real reason why. So he quickly thought of something else. “Well, because… you should go for the classics! Like this.” Before she could say anything, he whipped out another CD from his hair and bumped the record. The Cha Cha Slide began to play, and the Trolls instantly got into the rhythm of the new song. Poppy was a little confused, but didn’t pay much mind to it. Branch was right. The classics did fare well! The two Trolls grooved to the beat (Branch happy that his diversion had worked) before Branch took note of the time.

“Oh! Poppy! We’re going to be late for the royal wedding. Come on! Let’s go get married!” He grabbed her arm and tugged her along.

The Pop Queen stopped him however, gasping. “Branch!”

He paused and turned around, confused to see her wide eyes and shocked look. “What?” Then, all at once, he realized what he had said. Let’s go get married! “O-OH! I… I mean, let’s go get Bridget and King Gristle married.” He gave an awkward chuckle, his cheeks already starting to get hot at the slip-up.

Poppy breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, okay! Because that would be weird if we got married.”

Branch hurriedly agreed. “Yes, very weird. Yeah.”

They awkwardly looked away as they continued to bounce agreement off one another, Branch finalizing the point with a seemingly disgusted “bleh” which Poppy copied. By then, the awkwardness had lifted some, and they were ready to make their way over. He extended his arm out to her, which she intertwined with his and they skipped off, merrily continuing their singing with the whole village.

“We are family!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah,

I got all my sisters with me,

We are family!

Get up everybody and sing!”

__________________________________________

It had been an energetic preparation for the wedding, but now, things wound down as the actual ceremony began to commence.

Bergens and Trolls alike sat in the aisles as the wedding march began to play, composed by Trollzart and the Classical Trolls. Walking – or rather, sashaying – down the aisle first was the flower boy man, Tiny Diamond, flinging the petals in his basket into everyone’s faces with a very stylish flair. Next came Poppy and Branch, the maid of honor and best man respectively, who strolled up to the altar where King Gristle was already waiting with the officiator, a Bergen named Miss Maxine. And then, finally, from all the way down the aisle and making everyone’s heads turn in delight was Bridget. She looked very pretty in her white dress and veil. The Bergen elegantly came down the aisle, the Bergens gawking at the future Queen of their town. She seemed both confident and shy, the last part evident when she had finally reached the altar and blushed as Gristle glanced at her lovingly.

The Classical Trolls toned down their music a bit, still playing softly as Miss Maxine began to speak. “Dearly beloved,” she started, nearly unable to contain the excitement in her voice, “We are gathered here today to witness the joining together of two worlds. I stand here before you to proclaim that our beloved King of Bergen Town, King Gristle the Second, and his lovely bride and soon to be Queen Bridget, have opened their hearts to one another and found love.” She paused, a smile dancing across her face as Gristle reached out his hand to Bridget's and gently took them in hers. She gripped firmly as Miss Maxine continued speaking. “Today they will vow to forever cherish each other and share the blessings that come with their love. So, without further ado..." She turned to King Gristle first and asked the big question. “Do you, King Gristle the Second, take Bridget to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?”

King Gristle smiled softly at Bridget and gave a small nod. “I do.”

Sniffles were already heard in the audience in response. But before anyone could start bawling, Miss Maxine proceeded, addressing Bridget. “And do you, Bridget, take King Gristle the Second to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?

Tears swimming in her eyes, Bridget nodded. “I do!”

Poppy sighed blissfully, snuggling closer to Branch and swooning over the romantic moment. Branch glanced down at her, grinning, wondering for a brief second what it would be like if they had been the ones in King Gristle and Bridget’s places. He was pulled out of the thought when Miss Maxine was about to conclude.

“Then, by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and - !”

“STOP THE WEDDING! ”

An unexpected voice suddenly yelled out, stopping Miss Maxine before she could finalize their marriage. Trolls and Bergens whirled their heads up towards the sound, gasping in surprise when a Troll swung down from up above, landing right in the middle of the aisle with a dramatic thud, causing many more Trolls and a few Bergens to jump in their seats in surprise. The Troll was teal colored with dark aquamarine hair. A thick snow coat was on his person, and he toted a pair of goggle-like sunglasses on his head. The crowd began to murmur. Who was this Troll? Nobody in any of the kingdoms thought that they'd ever seen him before.

Upon the altar, Poppy and Branch were just as surprised as their friends. Poppy squinted at the newcomer. He looked awfully familiar for some reason, though she couldn't place exactly when and where she'd seen him before. Branch on the other hand had the realization dawn on him much sooner than he probably would have liked. He felt himself go stiff as the Troll casually walked down the aisle and up towards the altar, greeting the confused Trolls and Bergens as he passed with "hello"s and "hey, how you doing?"s.

“Hi guys, what’s up? So sorry for the interruption, you’ve got a lovely wedding going on here, very nice event! Allow me to introduce myself. My name’s John Dory.” He waved a hand in greeting, now having made his way in front of Branch and Poppy. Branch gulped as the next words he knew were inevitably coming were spoken by the Troll. “And I am Branch’s long… lost… brother.”

His pauses in between the words gave the effect that he’d wanted. A collective gasp was heard from the audience. Jaws dropped, eyes widened, more whispers were heard.

Poppy was shell-shocked. “WHAT?” Was this for real? She took a closer look, her eyes flitting between Branch and this new Troll, and right away she could see that they kind of did look a bit similar. Their skin tones were the same, and the shape of their faces. Then, in taking that closer look, it suddenly struck her where she’d seen this Troll before.

“Waaaait a minute…” she said, snapping her fingers and smiling widely. “You’re the guy! From BroZone! ” She bounced in place, excited when he affirmed with a nod. She turned to Branch. “Oh my gosh, we were just listening to them!”

John Dory chuckled. “Well, I’m glad to see that we still have some fans, miss…?” He trailed off, extending a hand to her in greeting.

“Poppy! Queen Poppy of Pop Village!” She gladly took his hand and pumped it up and down furiously, grinning. Then she realized even more . “Wait a second… then that means…” She gasped. “The other guys, from BroZone… you’re all brothers too, right?”

John Dory once again confirmed with a “You are correct!”

Branch frowned, crossing his arms and turning himself away from JD. “But that’s all in the past,” he said icily.

Poppy squealed, addressing her boyfriend. “BRANCH! How come you never told me you had a secret brother?!”

Branch frowned, glaring at John Dory. “Correction: used to be my brother. Because the way I remember it, my brothers walked out on me, and never came back. ”

This got Tiny Diamond riled up. “ Ooooo, drama! Corn me, Dinkles!” He extended a hand out to where Biggie was standing with Mr. Dinkles. The little worm mew ed in reply, and spat out a small bag of popcorn for Tiny to catch. Tiny began to happily munch on his snack as he watched the two brothers reunite.

“Look,” John Dory said, trying to sound reasonable, “I know that things were not so hot the last time we all saw each other. But I think it’s time for that to change.” He stepped closer to the frowning Troll. “Branch, it’s time we find the rest of our brothers and get the band back together!”

Poppy gasped. “Seriously?!”

“No, not seriously,” Branch counteracted. “Because if he thinks he can come here after all these years, give some lame apology, and think we’re all going to be one big happy family again just like that, then this can’t be anything more than a joke. ” He gestured angrily. “You just ruined our friends’ wedding!”

Bridget and Gristle were standing off to the side on the altar, having watched everything unfold silently. They glanced at each other, silently communicating, and then back at the Trolls. “Well…” Bridget began. “This does sound pretty important. We don’t mind postponing the wedding until you guys get back. Right, Grizzy?”

The king nodded. “Yeah, it’s cool. We don’t mind!”

Branch gaped at them. “What? No! I’m not going with him.” He put his hands up and spoke to the audience. “Nothing to see here, guys! This is all one big misunderstanding! This… guy is going to leave right now!” He began to push John Dory away, who resisted.

“Whoa, whoa, little bro, I’m not leaving!”

“Oh, yes you are,” Branch growled, “Tell him, Poppy!”

“Tell him what? I’m not asking him to leave!” the Queen said, completely opposing her boyfriend. “We totally have to help him. They’re your brothers, too!” Poppy clasped her hands together, envisioning it all now. “We’re gonna have the best family reunion ever!” She began to shoot out album title ideas in quick succession. “BroZone 2.0! BroZone Reunion! BroZone: Here We Bro Again! BroZone: Where Did They Bro? Oh, I Don’t Know, But WE’RE GONNA FIND THEM!!”

Branch, who had tried to cut in amongst her excited rant, sighed and decided against it. He had learned that it was no use to try and get Poppy calm after she was overjoyed about something. And maybe, he thought to himself, maybe this WILL be a good thing. He blinked. Whoa… where had that thought come from? Maybe Poppy’s positivity was rubbing off on him, giving him that little hopeful thought that maybe it would be beneficial for him, John Dory, and the other brothers to reunite - perhaps not to get the band back together per say, but to at least clear the air, maybe even be on good terms again…

But then his reasonable side kicked in again. First of all, they didn’t even know where the other guys were. Second, where would they be traveling in? Third, who was going to watch Pop Village while they were gone for who knows how long? Fourth, why should he even bother giving them second chances? They sure didn’t seem to care when they all left the first time. Fifth - would this mission even be worth it?

As though the universe had heard his questions, much of them were suddenly answered.

“Don’t worry,” John Dory was saying, “I’ve got all the maps and references we need to find our bros, all on my caterbus!”

“Sweet!” Poppy exclaimed, pumping her fists in the air.

“And I don’t mind watching Pop Village for a little while,” said the former King Peppy, who was confident as he’d done it before. “With a little help, of course,” he added.

Trolls from the audience piped up, primarily delegates from the other kingdoms. Among them were Val Thundershock, Demo, and Blaze Powechord (all from Rock); Holly Darlin’ and Gust Tumbleweed (from Country); Dante Crescendo and Minuet Sonata (from Classical); Lowtone Jones and Rhythm & Blues (from Funk); and Synth and Laguna Tidepool (from Techno). “We’ll be glad to lend a hand!”

Everything seemed set thus far, but there was still one obstacle to get over.

“Come on, Branch, pleeeease? ” Poppy pleaded. “This is gonna be so awesome, I just know it!”

Branch pulled her aside, speaking in a low voice so that John Dory couldn’t hear. “You really want to do this? You trust him? Because I sure don’t.”

“Branch, of course I trust him. We gave the Bergens another chance. The whole Troll Kingdom gave each other second chances. Look at where we all are now! Why is this any different?”

Branch wanted to groan, realizing that his girlfriend had a point that she was making. Plus, she had less reason to feel so apprehensive. It wasn’t her brothers that left her in the dust, after all. She could be right in going off on this mission.

Or maybe she just wants autographs from them.

He pushed aside the pessimistic thought, and sighed, not believing what he was about to say. “Okay. Fine. We’ll go.”

Poppy beamed. “YES! YES! I KNEW YOU’D SAY YES!” She leaped at him, wrapping her arms tight around him for a hug.

The Trolls and Bergens in the audience clapped and cheered, happy for the Trolls.

John Dory laughed. “Ha, ha! I knew it, too! Bring it in, little bro!” He reached for Branch and wrapped one arm around his neck, using the other to give him a noogie.

Branch struggled free, glaring at him. “You do that again, and those sunglasses won’t have a head to be on,” he warned darkly.

Tiny Diamond in the meantime threw his popcorn in the air. “OOOOHHHH, sick!” He eagerly looked up at his father. “Can I go too, Daddy? Please?”

Guy Diamond looked a little uncertain. “I don’t know, Tiny…”

“Daddy, I told you, I’m a man. I can take care of myself, and them, too!” Tiny Diamond said, trying to defend himself.

Guy sighed and looked down at his son with a smile. “Okay. You can go. But please, just be careful.”

“I will, Daddy!” Tiny assured, giving his father a quick hug before rushing over to catch up with Branch, Poppy, and John Dory to let them know he was tagging along.

Guy looked on with a wistful smile. “My little boy is growing up!”

[Indulge This Night of Dreams With Me] - Rustica SSR Card Story Translation

Ft. Akira with brief Chloe appearance and Western Wizard mention

The Flowering Wonderland With You ~An Invitation for Rustica~ - Chapter 1

[Manor Main Entrance]

Akira: Rustica and Chloe. Welcome back.

Rustica: Hello, Master Sage.

Chloe: We’re hoome! Whew, that was fun!

Akira: Whoa, that’s a lot of stuff! Did you guys just come back from the West?

Rustica: Yes, we were catching a play in the City of Affluence.

Rustica: Then, on our way home, we came across a delightful little sweets shop and picked up a few things… Ah, where did they go?

Casting his spell, the pile of boxes began to unpack itself, teacups and buttons scattering through the air.

Akira: Ahaha, you really went all out on your shopping spree.

Chloe: There’s just so much to see that we always end up buying too much, but just look at these gloves I got for Rustica!

Rustica: Right you are, Chloe. All the designs were so lovely, oh if only I had ten hands to wear them all…

Sensing that the conversation was about to derail, I quickly interjected with what I’d actually come to say.

Akira: Um, before we get to that, there’s something I wanted to ask Rustica…

Rustica: Me?

Akira: Yes, I’d like to invite you to the Flowering Wonderland.

Chloe: Oh that’s right! It’s Rustica’s birthday soon!

Rustica: Ah yes, I’ve heard about this from Shylock and Murr. It’s like a pocket-sized playground, is it not?

Akira: That’s right. It really is an incredible place, so I’d love to take you there for your birthday!

Rustica: Why, it’d be my pleasure to come along. I’m already looking forward to it.

The Flowering Wonderland With You ~An Invitation for Rustica~ - Chapter 2

[Rustica’s Room]

When the appointed day arrived, I made my way to Rustica’s room. A gentle fragrance was lingering in the air when I arrived.

Akira: What a lovely smell… Are you drinking tea right now?

Rustica: Why yes, it’s a blend we picked up the other day. I thought I’d drink some to relax before you came by.

Rustica: I was simply beside myself with excitement for today’s adventure after all.

Akira: I’m really happy to hear that. I’ve been looking forward to today too.

Akira: By the way, are you alright with leaving this late at night? It’s around bedtime, isn't it?

Rustica: That’s perfectly fine by me. It’s a privilege to be able to stay up late, and the atmosphere of the night makes everything feel like a pleasant dream.

Akira: I suppose you have a point. In that case, let’s head off!

I handed Rustica the invitation—a card shaped like the door to a park—which he placed upon the table.

Rustica: The flowers on here are just lovely. Did you decorate this yourself?

Akira: Yes, I thought I’d personalize just for you.

Akira: Now, all you have to do is write your name on the invitation and cast your spell. After that, a door will open and take us to the park.

Rustica: Oh, what a fun little trick. …<<Amorest Viesse>>

As the card began to glow, a door manifested before us, slowly creaking open and filling the room with mist.

♡♥♡

[Flowering Wonderland]

When the fog cleared, the scenery before us had completely changed. We were surrounded by all sorts of magical rides and attractions—a setting straight out of a fairy tale.

Rustica: Oh how wonderful! The rainbow-colored clouds, the benches dressed in flower petals… Just the sight of it makes my heart soar.

Rustica: Oh? When did I change clothes? I must’ve been so caught up in my surroundings that I completely forgot.

Akira: Every guest who comes here gets their outfit changed by the park itself. I think it suits you perfectly.

Rustica: Why thank you. Not only do I get to spend the night with you, I’ll look my very best doing it as well. How wonderful!

Akira: Don’t forget that I’m the one who’s treating you tonight! Why don’t we take a walk around the area?

Rustica: I’d be delighted to.

As we explored the park, we came across a band of tin dolls popping rainbow-colored corn and playing toy instruments on a wagon by the roadside.

With a look of wonder on his face, Rustica seemed enchanted by it all.

Rustica: Haha, how cute. It feels as if I’m strolling through the loveliest dream.

Rustica: Ah… Look there, Master Sage. The horses are dancing to the music.

Akira: Do you want to ride them with me? The other wizards liked these flying horses too.

Suddenly, two of them descended to the ground, allowing us to climb on their backs. After we got on, they whirled back into the air.

Akira: How are you doing?

Rustica: I’m having a wonderful time. It’s quite fun to soar through the skies on something other than a broom for a change.

Rustica: …Oh? It seems like there’s something coming towards us.

The Flowering Wonderland With You ~An Invitation for Rustica~ - Chapter 3

Looking upwards, I could see a large gondola making its way through the sky. The oars on both sides were moving on their own, rowing through the air like water.

Akira: How pretty… It sparkles like jewel stones.

Rustica: Its passengers appear to be enjoying their dazzling trip through the skies as well.

Following Rustica’s line of sight, I saw a group of brightly colored birds perched on the edge of the boat. Just like the gondola, their beaks and feathers glittered and gleamed.

Rustica: Hello, my darlings.

Akira: Ahaha, how cute. They’re landing on your arm.

The little birds began to tug on Rustica playfully, nipping the fabric of his coat with their beaks.

Then, they began to flap their wings, gently lifting him into the air as if they were carrying him away.

Rustica: Oh my.

Akira: R- Rustica!

He leaned towards me and I instinctively reached out my hand to grab him.

Grasping it, he came close and whispered in a soft voice, almost like he was comforting me.

Rustica: There’s absolutely nothing to worry about. I don’t intend on parting from you tonight.

Still holding his hand, I began to gently float into the sky as well.

Like an invitation to ride, the birds slowly lowered us into the gondola.

Akira: That scared me for a second… I really thought they were about to take you away.

Rustica: I suppose the birds simply wanted to show me something special.

As the gondola glided through the air, the two of us gazed down at sparkling scenery that drifted by. It was a beautiful sight.

Akira: (It feels like looking down from a ferris wheel. What an incredible view…)

Rustica: This is a truly marvelous place—perfect for spending time with the people you love.

Rustica was looking downwards, fixed upon the scenery that spread out below us. However, I felt like there was a tinge of sadness in his eyes. Was it a trick of the light?

Akira: Um…

Hearing my voice, Rustica raised his head to meet my gaze once again. His lips curved into a gentle smile.

Rustica: It’s truly my pleasure to be here with you on this special day.

Rustica: Tonight, you are my one and only partner.

As he spoke, something soft and white landed on my knees. Flower petals were drifting down from the sky like snow.

Akira: (I suppose it’s time to go back…)

Once the park deemed its guests sufficiently satisfied, the door to reality would open once more. The flower petals were a sign that our time was nearly finished.

Rustica: Oh, how lovely.

Rustica closed his eyes and stretched out his hands as if catching the falling petals. Before long, the entire area was enveloped in mist.

♡♥♡

[Rustica’s Room]

When everything cleared, we were standing back in Rustica’s room.

Akira: …Looks like we’re home.

Rustica: Indeed we are.

Rustica’s gaze dropped to the card in his hands, eyes gleaming with fondness.

Rustica: I’d like to thank you for the wonderful evening. I had a truly delightful time. Thus… it’d be a shame to part now.

As Rustica spoke, he conjured a little bottle out of thin air. Uncorking the top, a sweet fragrance filled the room.

Akira: Oh? That smells like…

Rustica: It’s floral liquor. I thought it’d be a perfect accompaniment to the flowers on my card.

Akira: I think so too. It smells wonderful, and the bottle design is really cute too.

Akira: I didn’t expect alcohol though. Aren’t you more of a tea person?

Rustica: Perhaps I simply wanted to lose myself in a dream for a little while longer…

Rustica: However, this is but one of the many souvenirs we bought the other day. There are still stores of tea and sweets to go through.

Rustica: Thus, would you mind staying a bit more and keeping me company? We could call Chloe over and have our own little late night tea party.

It was just like Rustica to make a request like this, but I couldn’t help but smile and nod anyways.

Akira: That sounds like fun. It’s a privilege to be able to stay up late, right? And besides, today’s your special day.

Akira: Happy birthday, Rustica!

Party in the Skies - Card Episode

[Rustica’s Room]

Akira: This tea is delicious!

Rustica: I’m glad you like it. Us Western wizards have grown quite fond of it lately.

Rustica: The others threw a sky party for my birthday recently, so I thought I’d treat them to some tea in return.

Akira: A sky… party?

Rustica: Yes. After I told them about our little trip to the Flowering Wonderland, they took it as a challenge to throw an even better party for me.

Akira: I- I see. Well, having a party in the skies seems like it’d be a lot of fun if the weather’s in your favor. There’s certainly a lot of open air to play around in.

Akira: Were you flying on your brooms? Or perhaps you were having a floating tea party?

Rustica: We did both among other things. However, if I had to say, the bathtub was probably the most delightful part.

Rustica: There’s nothing quite like soaking in warm water and simply letting the heat wash over you. It was a truly wonderful, relaxing way to pass the time…

Akira: You were doing what!? In the sky!?

Rustica: Taking a hot bath while drinking and chatting. It’s not often that you get the chance to do that, right? Especially in the skies.

Akira: I- I suppose you have a point… I mean, it’s certainly the first I’m hearing of something like that.

Akira: (Western wizards sure come up with some pretty incredible ideas…)

Rustica: Last of all, Chloe gave me a handmade bathrobe for my birthday. The material is so soft to the touch that I’m sure it’ll have me sleeping like a baby tonight.

Rustica: However, I would like to have a sky party again some time. Would you care to join me then, Master Sage?

Home Screen Voice Line

5: Marengo & The Rainbow Avengers

Take Two - by BTS  

[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]

–🐺–🐺–🐺–

I meant to post this yesterday, in honour of their birthday, but, 24 hours never seem to be quite enough do they? So, here it is, the SUPER-LONG-DETAIL story of how Marengo was unexpectedly saved by 7 Rainbow Avengers, also known as BTS.

CHAPTER 1: MY HEART WAS BROKEN

The date was January 27; 2019. ARASHI japanese boy band that debuted in 1999 got together and in front of a well organised, and somewhat serene, press setting, televised to their fans all over the world including myself, announced that they would go on an indefinite hiatus starting January 1, 2021. Not sure why I wasn't expecting this. This was the first time they every did something like this, and the tell-tell signs had been plenty, but still, had I been ready, it still would have hit as hard as it did.

I remember silently crying, as Ohno their leader and my bias, who is the one in the middle of the above picture spoke and told us how, basically. he was tired and just wanted to spend his time on his boat fishing his days away. Fishing had always been his passion, but he also always dreamed of becoming the captain of his own ship Monkey D. Luffy watch out!. ARASHI had quite a few of their own shows and in one of them (Arashi Ni Shiayagare) we the fans, and the other members, got to cheer him on as he studied to get a licence to drive a boat. He succeeded, got his boat and for the rest of that year’s show he’d take us on adventures with his boat, fishing with famous Japanese celebrities as guests it was still a show after all. Every time he was on his boat he looked so fucking happy. So when he finally made the announcement, yes, I was shocked, yes, I was distraught, but ultimately I was happy for him. Just a whole STORM arashi means storm of emotions really. 

You need to understand, at that point, I had been their fan since 2009. If my Japanese is at the level it is right now, 1/10 of it is definitely thanks to them, since I used to regularly translate all their songs, dramas, shows, etc. To imagine I only started listening to them as a fun way to help me study Japanese … Anyways, back on track … their announcement happened on my 10 year anniversary (their 20th) and I remember the following day coming back from work, with their music in my ears, stopping at a traffic light wanting to cry as I kept thinking about them and right in that moment, I looked up at the big screen and so the following ad:

That evening was the first time I actually EVER seen the boys. Before that evening I had only  heard about them, A LOT,  and now in hindsight I know why. The first time had been some time in 2017, while I was looking for japanese articles to translate, I happened upon one that was about ARASHI, obviously, I got super excited and decided to read it. Only to find out how this journalist was basically describing why according to him ARASHI stood no comparison against this 7 boy band sensation “called BTS”. I was so irritated by that article I didn’t even bother to read their country of origin and for the longest time I decided they were Chinese 🤡. Mind you, I never once thought of BTS even after reading that article, my mind was ARASHI ARASHI ARASHI FOR DREAM! but that evening when I saw that ad I hated them. So I walked away, sad and angry O THE DRAMA! 🤡 but just like the first time I heard of them, I never thought of them again.

2020 rolled in, and just right before COVID, I started exploring new things on the internet amongst which I discovered a certain at the time budding actor and become a big fan not about to give myself out, so I won’t tell you who 😜, Let's call them X. What does a fan with extensive editing knowledge do? Why fan-edits of course! So I started making edits of X, and one day, as I was helping make X trend on Twitter for an event they were attending, on my timeline a particular video kept reappearing. So I clicked:

CHAPTER 2: I WAS LITERALLY SPEECHLESS AND MESMERIZED

Within ARASHI, only Ohno could actually dance, but these boys ... these boys could ALL dance and apparently they also sang, some holding one hell of a tune, and that beat, ooh the entire production…: JUST WOW. I must have watched the video another 10 times at least and all the while it never got old, in fact it only got better with every listen; so I then ended up adding ON to my playlist.

This day was February 25, 2020 and this is the date I unknowingly became ARMY and also the day I celebrate my anniversary on. Now you need to understand, my COVID days were mostly making edits of X, supporting X, trending for X on twitter so at this point I didn’t have the thoughts of wanting to find more about BTS. In my head, I found a song I liked, and thought "cool, I guess I don't necessesarily have to hate them ..." I quickly looked up JUNGKOOK because you don't belt a not like that and act like it didn't happened and kept it moving. 

Couple of days later, I’d start working on my first edit of X which blow up. This edit was was made using this one song I heard on a compilation which was circulating on twitter, it had a “certain dancer named Jimin” doing high kicks. The background song they used was named; UGH!. Sure, the dancer was hella skilled … but that song, I couldn’t stop playing the clip and though it was probably because of Jimin, my brain decided that it was the song can’t believe I found the exact edit!!! 👇🏾

Did I realise that UGH! which took me forever to find as I didn’t understand it was the name of the song at first 😂😂😂 was sung by BTS; as in THE SAME BTS I apparently didn’t hate so much anymore? NOPE. It didn’t even occurred to me because THAT BTS was a 7 member boy band not a hardcore 3 member rap group 😬😬😬. Anyways, I became obsessed with UGH! And as one does when in confinement, I started looking for people who would share my same enthusiasm, and since I had already fallen into the world of reactions on youtube for TV series THANKS A LOT COVID 🙃I thought I’d look to see if there was anyone who would react to songs, in this case, UGH! By the rapper group named BTS still to this point I had NO CLUE that they were the same people… I had to download an mp4 version from the internet in order to do the edit, so I didn't even know if it came from an album or where else and what I found was:

They were hella excited and I really could relate with that because that song always made me wanna turn the fuck up, but most of all, they were black people interested in something asian, and that for me was something I could heavily appreciated. Everyday I kept coming back to watch that reaction because it just made me so happy, and gave me so much energy, so I decided to see if they had any more songs from this rapper group. The first video that came up was their reaction to ON KINETIC MANIFESTO. THE AMOUNT OF DOTS THAT STARTED CONNECTING IN MY HEAD WERE SO MANY YOU’D THINK I DISCOVERED THE THREE LAWS OF EINSTEIN!

You should have seen my face when I discovered that UGH! was on the same album as ON: 🤡. This also made me want to look up the one member whose features really appealed to me the most, not gonna lie to y'all, it was love at first sight: RM. Wanting to know who he was I went on wikipedia, typed BTS and kept clicking every members name until I found him wikipedia has them ordered by age. I started reading about him and chuckled when I found out he was the leader what can I say, i seem to have had a type! aaaand he thought himself english and that made him even sexier in my eyes. When I tell you I spent a couple of days being obsessed with Namjoon 😬😬😬 ...

Anyways, I think a part of me wanted to start being invested, thus, before continuing watching more reactions with FoSquad I decided I wanted to listen to MOTS7, in its entirety, by myself and aside from ON and UGH! The only other song that I absolutely adored was Filter. AND SO began my search for the uncredited female singer that sang Filter, whom I couldn't find anywhere, NOT A SINGLE GOOGLE PAGE HAD THE NAME OF THE FEMALE SINGER THAT SANG FILTER ON ONE OF THE BIGGEST ALBUMS OF THE YEAR. For a couple of days this is what my google search looked like “What is the name of the female singer that sings Filter with BTS”. … 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

CHAPTER 3: A THREE MONTHS BLINK

Not finding an answer with regards to the mysterious Filter Singer and also concluding that the internet was still so lacking on proper representation of Asian artists, rather than me being the one who was dumb AF, I went continued my supporting X life, while constantly listening to ON, UGH! and Filter. Eventually, it was time to make another X edit, meaning I needed to search for new songs and since X was obsessed with BlackPink I decided to give them a chance and at the time the most recent song was SOUR CANDY feat. Lady Gaga. It was very Gagaish I just so happen to really like Gaga and the beat was perfect for editing, so I used it. On top of that, I joined X's I don't remember how many days countdown to the premiere of “How You Like That”. As I said, X was obsessed with BlackPink, hence, I became a Blink for 3 months.

The day How You Like That dropped I was just as excited as X and at the time I was staying with my directors at their place and they became my "covid bubble". The 3 of us were trying to save our company during COVID inactivity, which meant that during the mornings it was an incessant string of calls with lawyers, with rightfully desperate landlords chasing for money we didn’t have, third parties also needed money we didn't have ... basically, just a whole lot of heavy grinding. But in the evening, we'd cook dinner and we’d all watch a movie once we had quickly gone through the most recent Queer Eye season, even Queer Eye in Japan! and after they’d go to bed, I’d step up, talking with my X Twitter GC, while watching other shows and right before going to bed I'd watch How You Like That to get my spirits ready for the next day.

This was my routine at their house, every day from the release of that song, for a good 2 months. When August rolled around I decided to go back home, as the situation with the company seemed at least a bit stable. So it was back to self-distancing by myself and to my own surprise I didn’t feel the urge to listen to BlackPink at all. X was all that really mattered after all, and they had stopped talking about them, for the time being. So one early ass morning on August 21, 2020 I just so happened to be awake and twitter was buzzing with people waiting for a new BTS song to drop. As I was already awake and had another hour waiting for X to appear at their interview event, I decided to silently wait with ARMY; I did like ON after all. Thus, came Dynamite

CHAPTER 4: LIKE AN ECHO IN THE FOREST

It was nothing like ON. So at first I was a bit confused and didn't know what to think, as it was clear that I hadn't understood their genre. Yet, somehow, that boy winking at me at the end of the MV kept making me want to replay the song and before I knew it I was “shining through the city with a little funk and so-oul!”. Eventually, I looked him up and found out that the cute boxy smile boy with the light blue outfit’s name was V. Just as easy a name to remember as RM. By all means, he wasn’t RM, but that smile just was the cheekiest thing I had seen in a while.

But there was another person that was also FINALLY "introduced" to me through this video, the one who was my mysterious female voice and "UGH! dancer": JIMIN. Not sure why it didn’t connect with ON but the second I heard his voice in Dynamite DOTS WERE CONNECTING LEFT AND RIGHT, AND IT WAS FINALLY CLEAR IN MY MIND THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY A HE, WHO WAS PRETTIER THAN A SHE AND SANG & DANCED LIKE AN ANGEL 🤯🤯🤯. ... Basically Dynamite introduced me to VMIN. 

It goes without saying, my queer-senses were all over the place with Jimin. So, as i usually do, not at all knowledgeable of the South Korean culture, I dove into the internet to ask and see if JM was part of the community: nothing came up. In fact, it was full of people going to a great length to explain why there was NO WAY IN HELL THAT JM WAS QUEER. Funnily enough, as I kept trying to look for connections between JM and the community, all that came up with connections between RM and V and the community (as they had made posts and connected with queer people, music, etc). The strong denying of any sort of connection between JM and Rainbow nation did discourage me a little, NGL. I had spent a year trying to not fall for queerbaiting and I didn’t want it to happen again. However, as I didn’t want to jump the gun since I didn’t quite know them at all, I decided that even though he wasn't a Fred Mercury he perhaps was a Bowie or a Prince. I was okay with that and decided to close that rainbow chapter at that AT THE TIME, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WHERE I STAND NOW 🤡. 

The weeks following Dynamite things around X’s management start to look very dodgy and fishy. As a fan you want to be positive, hope for the best, but as more and more evidence was brought forth I had to start to at least dissociate X from their company. This really made me and my X-friends incredibly sad and pretty disenchanted I will admit. Day by day we tried to look at the bright side but, it kept looking rather grim and right about that time somehow I was exposed to STAY GOLD and LIFE GOES ON. Thought Stay Gold wss the one in Japanese, the one that stuck with me was Life Goes On. I remember walking around the still empty studio we hadn’t been able to reinstated none of my colleagues with Life Goes On playing rather loudly. The comfort that song provided me in that moment I will never be able to explain. Is probably the same feeling older ARMY have with Spring Day. Life Goes On came to me in a moment when I really needed to hear those words, gently and promising, like an echo in the forest. 

As it started to become clearer that X was just as cowardly as their company I took a break from my Twitter page, which also just so happened to fall around Xmas time, so I got to actually have a real break with my sibling away from all that nonsense and into a different more secure looking world.

CHAPTER 5: WHO IS BTS?

I spent a good deal of my xmas break watching people's reaction to BTS, their story, their struggles, their MV. Through these reactors and “BTS experts” I was introduced to SOPE. In my baby ARMY experience they came as a set, Ying&Yang, one the opposite of the other, at least this was how majority of the old BTS edits and explaining videos would portray them luckily we now have many updated and more extensive videos out there. While watching all these compilations I also eventually learned all their names and started watching RUN BTS from episode 1 when I figured out tha utmost of the edits were from there I thought “Let’s go straight to the source, if I want to learn really what they are like”. 

The first thing that became pretty clear to me was that for example HOBI and YOONGI weren’t quite exactly like the compilations had been describing them all of them in fact. And it wasn’t like all the boys tried to act reserved or hide certain parts of themselves, they seemed so open that if people paid even just the smallest amount of attention they would know. So for the first time in a long time I found a group that wasn’t giving me doubts, worries … I really didn’t have to think too much but at the same time I knew that if I ever fell back into being depressed from my post-COVIDic environment, they’d also be able to find me down there, because they didn’t seem to shy away from those situations either. 

Going back to RUN BTS real quick, the one thing that it did for me, was introducing me to none other than KIM SEOKJIN. Before I knew it I always found myself following jin on the screen, waiting for him to talk and say a pun or dad joke, or just wanted to see and hear him laugh … I developed a crush for Jin and a small pointy edge every time someone would leave comments on youtube like “why is jin even in this band”, “ there is a reason why Jin dances in the back”. “Jin is not even handsome”. GURL/BOI/ENBY. Taking a break from X meant I would stay well away from Twitter, so I had no idea about BTS proper solos, antis, etc and like a moth to a flame, I’d fall for any troll and start defending Jin against the world. MFers … how dare they disrespected him like that! AND IN FRONT OF ME!

That being said a person called me a Jin-solo in a comment and the second that happened I was about to reply that "Yes I love Jin-" the implications of being a solo, COMPLETELY lost on my Baby ARMY ass but the second i started typing I immediately thought of Namjoon, and then Jungkook, and Jimin ... eventually I thought of all members and realised that I liked each member for different reasons and I couldn't choose one. Further research would eventually teach me that meant I was 0T7.

On my way back from my Xmas break I decided that I would stop associating with X and just move on with life. On my journey back home we were told we had to be Lockdown again, which really depressed me, but as if it was second nature, I played Life Goes On and tried to think of any positive thing. So I got back home wanting to watch more BTS reactions, while listening to BTS and wondering what Jin was doing. And from that moment on for a good month I’d go into my still empty office but this time knowing we could start calling back at least 2 of my colleagues, which made me so ecstatic sit down with my coffee and say “Alexa, play BTS” and Alexa would reply “Shuffling songs from BTS” and ALWAYS the playlist would start with a familiar whistle …

And the rest is history 😜.

So who is BTS? They are the 7 boys that came to my rescue when I felt heartbroken. The 7 boys that had so much skill and love to share with the world and wanted for me to join and not be left out. They are the boys that never pressured me into needing to like them, but somehow were always there when I unknowingly needed them. They are the 7 boys who reminded me that it was okay to not be okay and just go with the flow of things, even if it is against the flow of all. They are the 7 boys that keep trusting us with their everything and all they ask in return, if possible, is to be there, at end of this gigantic rainbow. And that is exactly where I plan to be. I am so grateful for all 7 of you and words could never describe how much I love you.

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY MY RAINBOW AVENGERS.

Always incredible respectfully yours,

Marengo.

Poppy’s Heal to Help Chapter 4 - Mysterious Masked Magician

[Fade to the secret room of Howdy's Place/Bugdega, Howdy wears black tuxedo, black top hat with blue hat band, red bow tie, yellow gloves on his upper hands, purple gloves on his lower hands, cyan/turquoise shoes, rainbow antennas, and black cape with orange interior. He smiles at the reflection of the mirror.]

Howdy: I'm lookin' good! But something's missing... (Snaps his fingers on his upper hand.) I know! (Takes and puts a magenta mask on his eyes, then takes off top hat as he puts it on hair with green paint as dips and his hair covers his right eye, then puts it back.) Perfect! (Holds up a wand on his upper hand.) I'm the most mysterious and famous magician! I...am... (Echoes in happily; in a middle-high toned voice.) Perry Preston! (Spinning himself to turn a purple cloud flying out of Howdy's Place/Bugdega, then turns into a normal form as covering his cape; in normal voice.) My plan is to take care of Poppy from Wally and Frank while I try to get away from their attention, even Eddie. (Rises up the wand to start loads of magic.) Presto!

[Howdy blasts himself to disappear. Cut to woods in the night as Eight Neighbors walking on the path as led by Wally and Frank while Barnaby, Julie, Poppy, Sally, and Eddie follow them as Eddie looks at Wally and Frank.]

Eddie: Don't worry, guys. We'll make you remember what happened last night.

Julie: Halt! (She and Six Neighbors stop walking as she points at a silhouette person.) There's a mysterious person!

Mysterious Person: (in male middle-high toned voice) Hello, friends.

Poppy: Oh! (Nervously.) Hello, mister. We need your help! We can't find our friend! His name is Howdy Pillar!

Mysterious Person: Howdy Pillar? Ahh! I know him! Let me introduce myself. My name is... (Hold up the wand to blast himself to disappear which Seven Neighbors surprised and look around.)

Barnaby: Where's he going?!

[Big magic explodes in front of Seven Neighbors screaming in surprise, uncovers the purple cloud as Howdy disguises as Perry Preston, he smiles at Seven Neighbors while he is spinning his wand on his upper hand.]

Howdy: (as Perry Preston) Perry Preston!

Sally: (delightfully while clapping) Wow! Amazing magic trick!

Howdy: (bows as holds his cape) Thank you so much, Miss Starlet!

Sally: He knows my name!

Poppy: Did Howdy tell you about us?

Howdy: Yes, he does, Miss Partridge.

Barnaby: Mr. Preston! Howdy went and lost in the woods!

Howdy: Don't worry, friends. Follow me.

[Howdy/Perry walks and Seven Neighbors follow him while Frank starts to get suspicious and worried about him and Eddie looks at Frank.]

Eddie: Oh no! Not again!

Julie: What's wrong, Eddie?

Eddie: Frank's gonna be suspicious... (Worried.) AGAIN!

Julie: What?

Eddie: He's got suspicious of Dr. Grady, then he's getting suspicious of Perry!

Julie: Like he's suspicious of me while I'm disguised as Wally's old girlfriend.

Eddie: Yeah... This is getting weird and horrified now.

[Fade to later at noon, Howdy/Perry and Seven Neighbors still walking while Frank gets trembling in discomfort, then he twitches his eye while looking Howdy/Perry, then he screams in frustration.]

Frank: (uncomfortably) How long walking to find him?! This is getting longer than last time!

Howdy: We're here! Welcome to Faithful Flower Field!

[Cut to colorful flowers and insects in the field as start with a sign that says "Faithful Flower Field" with rainbow texts which Seven Neighbors look at it in amazement.]

Julie: Look at those flowers!

Frank: And bugs! Especially butterflies! Yes! (Paused to surprise his friends who smile at him, clear his throats.) I mean... (Fake sarcastically.) Yeah... we're here in a wonderful field. (Shows up to be amazed.) Okay, okay, guys! I just love the field with butterflies!

Howdy: (smiles while chuckles) I know you like a field where there are butterflies. (Snickering into laughter.)

Frank: Thanks, Perry. I think Howdy likes this place.

Eddie: Good! Guys! Let's find him!

[Howdy/Perry and Seven Neighbors toward Faithful Flower Field as they search Howdy while Frank looks at a butterfly.]

Frank: What? He's not here? (To Howdy/Perry and Six Neighbors.) Guys! He's not here! But he disappeared here!

Eddie: (shocked along with his friends) What?!

Howdy: I know that was a pretty accident by me!

Frank: What? You did what?!

Howdy: Look, I'm trying to spell Howdy reappear!

Barnaby: You're trying?

Howdy: Yes. He's on my stage. Come on. (Walks off.)

Wally: He has his own stage? On a flower field?

Frank: I think he lives here.

Sally: (amazed) Wow! Look at that!

[Cut to amphitheater with style of nature theme along the seats where Howdy/Perry steps on the stage along a magic set while Seven Neighbors sit on the front row of seats to look at Howdy/Perry.]

Howdy: Thank you for coming in.

Sally: Ohh! Can't wait for more magic tricks!

Howdy: Okay, Miss Starlet! Don't get too much excitement!

Sally: Okay!

Howdy: Now... Let's time to-- (Cut off by Poppy whose shortness of breath while Six Neighbors look at her worried, screams in surprise.) Poppy!

Frank: (To Wally, whispers) She's on Stage 4! (Wally nods.)

[Poppy runs onto the stage towards Howdy/Perry, she holds his coat which he starts feeling scared.]

Howdy: Poppy! What are you doing here on my stage?!

Poppy: (in an eerie voice) I'm so worried about Howdy! Please, Mr. Presto! Please!

Barnaby: (runs toward Poppy to hold her) Poppy! You're making him scared!

Howdy: (nervously) It's okay, Mr. Beagle. (Happily.) Thanks to her! Please is...a magic work! As it's a request!

Poppy: Thank you!

Howdy: You're welcome, Miss Partridge. (To Barnaby.) Mr. Beagle, could you go down the stage, please?

Barnaby: Sure, Perry. (Walks down the stage to sit in the seat next to Wally.) You know, I really worried about her.

Wally: Don't worry. She will wear off in 5 minutes.

Barnaby: Thanks goodness!

[Cut back to Howdy/Perry holds the wand on his upper heads while he looks at Poppy who sighs in relief.]

Howdy: So, it is done?

Poppy: (in a normal voice) Yes, it's done.

Howdy: Good! Now, it's showtime! (Turns on the spotlights as it shines to him and Poppy who starts to scare.) Miss Partridge, don't worry about that with a stage fright.

Poppy: O-okay! I'm trying!

Howdy: Great! First trick is... (Hold up the cards.) Card trick!

[Howdy/Perry doing a card trick while dancing; card flourish as either switching upper and lower hands until upper hands in a 4 times, then riffle shuffle, then overhand shuffle, and then pick-a-card to hold it which Seven Neighbors applaud and cheer.]

Poppy: Amazing!

Howdy: Now, you must pick one card, please? (Poppy picks one card as she sees the card is a Four Hearts Card as he picks it.) Okay then... (He shuffles the cards until he stops to fan out the cards on the table.) You remember when you picked one card, right? (Poppy nods.) What is it?

Poppy: Uh... Four Hearts.

Howdy: Nice! (Look at the cards.) Where is it? Where is it?

[Cut to Eddie eating an apple while Frank looks at Howdy/Perry suspiciously.]

Eddie: Wow! Card trick starts to amaze. And also... (Shouts.) STOP SUSPICIOUS TO HIM!!

Frank: Ouch! You're breaking one of my eardrums!

Howdy: (offscreen) Mr. Dear, please, stop shouting at him right in front.

Eddie: Sorry!

[Cut back to Howdy/Perry and Poppy on the stage to continue searching.]

Poppy: Wow, Perry. Please is a magic work to you.

Howdy: (touch cards in lower right hand) Yes. Yes, it does. (Holding up the card to flip as revealed to Poppy.) Ta-da!

Poppy: Woah!

[Howdy/Perry shows Six Neighbors to hold Four Hearts Card as revealed, they applaud and cheer. He does card tricks while dancing until the card flourishing flies up and then down into his top hat, then holds up his wand to charge into top hat.]

Howdy: Presto! (Blasts to top hat as the butterflies and flowers come out from it.) Ta-da!

Seven Neighbors: Wow! (Cheering and applause even Frank looking at butterflies happily.)

Howdy: Thank you for applauses, everyone! (Puts his top hat on his head with a trick.) Now... are you ready for a special trick?!

Seven Neighbors: Yes!

Howdy: Okay! (Points at the trap door open itself to raise the magician box while wand on the hand moving together to raise the magician box until stop.) Ta-da! (Seven Neighbors applaud.) This box is the cause of Howdy's disappearance.

Seven Neighbors: (surprised) What?!

Howdy: You see... I saw Howdy running in the woods and then a flower field. He hid the box when I didn't know what was wrong with him as I was going to tell him, but then...

Poppy: (nervously) Then what?

Howdy: I saw the bag fall onto the table with knives flying into a box...which Howdy inside it! I tried to save him with my wand. Then I opened the box... He's disappeared!

Seven Neighbors: (gasps in horrified) Oh no!

Julie: That's terrible!

Howdy: I tried to spell him in the box. When you guys are here, I need your help.

Poppy: Help? (Happily.) Yes! Someone needs help!

Howdy: Great! Come on! Let's go to your place! (Lifts the magician box and crack sounds of his back which make Seven Neighbors surprised.) Don't worry about me! Just a little back pain.

[Howdy/Perry and Poppy walk off the stage, then they join Five Neighbors to walk away. Cut to the auditorium of Sally's House, Howdy/Perry puts the magician box on the stage, then he stretches his back and then dust off his hands.]

Howdy: There! (Looks at the window as the sun goes down, in a normal voice as quietly.) Oh no! (In the impressive voice of Perry.) It's almost night, guys!

Sally: (To Frank and Eddie) You heard him, guys? Let's start changing you!

[Seven Neighbors runs off the auditorium while Howdy/Perry in a blank expression for a moment. When footsteps faded out, Howdy removed his disguise to his normal clothes and hair except wearing lab coat, cyan gloves, turquoise windsor glasses, bag, and goggles on his forehead as he opened the magician box.]

Howdy: (in a normal voice) Okay then. (Looks around until notices a mannequin of himself, speaker, duct tape and headphone with microphone. Snaps his fingers as he gets an idea.) I got it! (He heads towards four items and then back to his place, he picks a top hat.) I'm speaking out to act while I'm sneaking in to see. (Holds up the remote while laughing maniacally.)

[Cut to dressing room where Seven Neighbors adjust their outfits and put the makeup on themselves even Frank and Eddie as Frank wears hot pink and red butterfly themed outfit and Eddie wears sky blue and blue art and craft themed outfit while they are feeling sad.]

Wally: Hey, don't worry about him. Perry is gonna make the right spell to bring him back.

Frank: Thanks, Walls. I know you are counting on it.

Sally: Okay, guys! It's done! (Six Neighbors muttering in agreement.) Nice! Let's go to the stage!

[Seven Neighbors run off the dressing room, cut to inside of Poppy's Barn in the dark where Howdy wears goggles as night vision to sneak in as he walks into the closet and then press his headphone to hear Seven Neighbors' voices in through it to listen.]

Howdy: Nice! They're on stage! (Clear throats as speaking to the microphone; in the impressive voice of Perry.) Hello, friends! Thank you for coming in here!

[Cut back to the auditorium of Sally's House, Seven Neighbors look at the magician box as inside of it is a masked magician outfit on a mannequin of Howdy and a speaker on the back of a mannequin with duct tape.]

Howdy: (through the speaker) Reason of why I'm in the box is because I am trying to focus on myself with a spell.

[Cut to green filter view on Seven Neighbors as revealed is view of Howdy in his goggles.]

Barnaby: (onscreen) That's good to know!

[While Howdy speaking, cut back to the inside of Poppy's Barn as the kitchen where Cookie of Poppy on a Silver Serving Tray which Cookie of Poppy starts to glow with green. Cut back to the auditorium of Sally's House, Wally and Frank are surprised with eyes winking in their theme color as they look at Poppy who starts to get nervous.]

Howdy: (through the speaker) Tonight as before the party, I finally made a right spell to bring him back on time!

Wally: Poppy, are you okay?

Poppy: Oh no! I forgot!

[Poppy runs away while Six Neighbors start to be surprised.]

Julie: What's going on?

Wally: Poppy, wait!

[Cut to view of Howdy in goggles when Wally and Frank run to follow Poppy which Barnaby, Julie, Sally and Eddie muttering among themselves in surprise and confusion, cut to Howdy in the closet as he holds up the remote on his lower right hand while he start to be scared.]

Howdy: Wait! If you don't want to see it, you'll be-- (Cut off as surprised by the sound of the door and then footsteps as he covers the microphone in his upper left hand, in a normal voice as whispers.) Oh no! They're coming in!

Eddie: (in Howdy's headphone) Perry? Perry! What's happening! I'm coming to you! (Sounds of footsteps get louder when he gets closer while Howdy grows whimper to loud.) Say something!

Howdy: (whispers) I'm so sorry, Eddie!

[Howdy presses a big red button on the remote in his lower right hand. Cut to the auditorium of Sally's House where the magician box explodes inside with purple gas coming out as surrounding at the auditorium which Barnaby, Julie, Sally and Eddie cough and try to cover their mouth. Cut to the view of Howdy in goggles, Barnaby, Julie, Sally and Eddie started to dizzy and then passed out as unconscious. Cut to Howdy who starts to feel guilty as a remote and headphones are put into his bag.]

Howdy: (whispers as tears come out) I'm so sorry... But you will forget it. (Wipes his tears with his lower right arm, then sighs and presses the goggles.) There. It's in night vision.

[Meanwhile to the kitchen of Poppy's Barn where Poppy looks at Cookie of Poppy on a Silver Serving Tray in worry as Cookie of Poppy in glowing green gets brighter while Wally and Frank run to her and Howdy sneak out of the closet and behind the piles of boxes to peek at them.]

Poppy: Guys! We've got a problem!

Wally: We've heard the explosion from Sally's House!

Poppy: I know! But this! (Points at Cookie of Poppy.) I'm getting so worried about-- (Start crying as anxiety; in an eerie voice) HOWDY!!

[Poppy's eyes turn into red eyes and black sclera as glowing brighter while Howdy starts to run out Poppy's Barn as looking through the window, Wally and Frank stay back and start to smile as their eyes turn into glowing red which Poppy screams.]

Wally and Frank: (in an eerie voice) Welcome to The Watchers, Poppy!

Poppy: (shocked) WHAT?! (Clouds move away to reveal the full moon shining through the window on him which starts screaming as falls down.) What's you mean...?

[Howdy gasps in horror and runs away while Poppy glowing green himself which starts to transform while Wally and Frank transform into The Watchers. Cut to Howdy running into Howdy's Place/Bugdega in the dark, then going up the floor on the stairs to his bedroom as he locked the door and windows, blocked the door with drawers and bed and covered the windows with blinds. He's breathing heavily and wipes his sweat as walk away from the door.]

Howdy: I'm so scared of that! Likes an incident in the dark! (Three unknown people with glowing red eyes behind him slowly walk away while he speaks.) I'm so guilty about that! Like I did it to my friends...

Wally: (offscreen) You really think you did to them?

Howdy: Huh?! (Turns to Wally and Frank in The Watcher Forms as they glow to their clothes, eyes, and dips of hair in the dark, he screams.) Wally?! Frank?! How did you know I was h-- (Realized as snaps his fingers.) Oh, right! (Facepalms in upper right hand.) Chrono Vision!

Frank: Now, you know as you're figured that out!

Howdy: (walks away from Wally and Frank as they walk to him) Look! I'm trying to keep away from you and never concentrate on you two and Eddie! (Bump into someone behind him and start to shock.) Oh no! Poppy! (Start to run but Wally and Frank holding him as Wally hold lower arms and Frank hold upper arms which he starts to struggle.) Let me go!

Frank: Poppy! Now it's chance!

[Poppy plugs Howdy's neck with green liquid on a syringe which makes him scream, then pulls it out as Howdy starts dizzy.]

Howdy: (dizzying) Guys... What did you do to me? (Passed out as unconscious.)

Wally: Okay, he's passed out. Let's go to Home.

[Cut to inside of Home in the dark where Wally, Frank, and Poppy in silhouette with glowing to their clothes, eyes, and dips of hair even Poppy as her theme color is green while they're holding Howdy as walking to bedroom where Barnaby, Julie, Sally and Eddie laying on the floor with bed sheet, they put him on the bed as Frank takes goggles from Howdy.]

Frank: His goggles have a night vision, which means he's never afraid of the dark while he's alone.

Home: I see... Howdy has... afraid of the dark, known as Nyctophobia.

Frank: Yes. Caused by an incident when he was a child.

Home: Wow... That's horrifying to him. But don't worry, he'll wake up to heal him as you help him.

Poppy: Thank you, Home.

[Wally, Frank, and Poppy walk off the bedroom as light shines on them, even Poppy to reveal her The Watcher Form is a rainbow beak and tongue, wearing black modern cooking/nurse outfit with rainbow scarf, and green gloves and shoes. They're all walking to the kitchen as Frank holds up Howdy's bag and puts it on the hook, then Wally holds his paintbrush to paint Howdy's bag as it camouflages to match color on the walls.]

Wally: There! He'll never find it! For a while...

[Wally, Frank, and Poppy laughing, cut to Howdy start to despair in sleep as tears come out while laughing echo in the background. Fade out as a pitched black screen.]

[heretherebedork]

Two points! First, I can’t fully blame a shoulder to cry on for not having a kiss considering it stars two members of the same band. Given how intense kpop member shipping can get and just the general culture of the industry I wasn’t expecting one. I also am still unclear how much say the boys had in taking the role given the abusive situation the group was in, but they seem to be happily promoting it now so that is good! I’ll give them more slack for not having a kiss than other shows, but I think it shows why casting two members of the same group may not be the best idea.

Second, the eighth sense!!!! I’m SOOO intrigued by this one and it has so much potential. I’m super excited about the longer run time and I’m hoping it’ll mean a lot more fleshing out of characters and motivations than the typical KBL. I have some predictions on what’s to come in the next couple episodes based on synopses I’ve seen and I’m interested to see exactly what’s going to go down. I’m also really intrigued by the ex girlfriend. You’re right Korea doesn’t tend to do the evil ex (but they did do the jealous classmate with a crush in light on me!), but we’ll see how far they go with it here. I’m really curious to see what she knows. Jae Won’s friends only mentioned girls when talking about him dating, but she seemed immediately jealous of Ji Hyun. It makes me wonder if Jae Won might’ve told her he likes guys while breaking up with her or something. KBL and BL in general does seem to be trending more towards having more characters who 1) are actually queer (a lot less “it’s just you”) and 2) have figured out their sexuality before the start of the story. I also think Ji Hyun’s little rainbow light in his dorm room is there for a reason as well. Anyway, I’m super excited to see where it all goes! I’m sensing a lot of angst coming our way lol.

Yeah, I understand why there isn't a kiss but I still find that it felt like a romance that needed a kiss and the story didn't work as completely as I'd like without the final kiss. I get it but I also find it a bit frustrating and I do think it speaks to the choice they made in casting and the way fans act and that... that I am not gonna talk about because it's just terrifying.

I am definitely intrigued by The Eighth Sense. It's doing a lot for me in terms of the characters and the story and the progress we're making already in terms of what we might be dealing with and what the story might be about.

I do strongly suspect that JaeWon is bi or gay and that his ex knows but she's the only one who knows... but it honestly might also be about the kind of attention he's paying to JiHyun and her own recognition of that kind of attention when it's turn to someone else so... it could go a lot of ways.

The synopsis definitely promises angst and I don't know what to expect. It feels like they're trying to walk a line between queer media and BL (which is a specific subgenre of queer romance) and that is a line that I... tread carefully with. Because I definitely like BL for what it is and the more the romance turns into a Realistic Queer Story the more I tend to struggle with the media as I consume it.

@absolutebl mentioned the idea of this ending sadly and the more realistic it gets... the more likely that is, honestly. And that scares me. Even bittersweet endings only work for me very occasionally. I like my sap and joy and unrealistic endings filled with fluff.

Yes, social commentary but also mostly fluff and tropes and sweetness.

So... I am definitely enjoying The Eighth Sense and Unintentional Love Story (just to add it here) but they are both walking lines that can change. I actually think ULS is a lot more on the BL side than Eighth Sense, tbh, but I love them both. This is a line that I like treading but then the line snaps and suddenly I am Not So Pleased.

Anyway!

I like the way KBL is going with the honest queerness in the show but I also know that my preference is for BL over more realistic queer media so... we shall see how the story goes!

[innytoes]

Back on my Willie + Furbies bullshit with a fic idea I will never write: Sunset Skater AU where the band makes it big and they have all this money that they can spend on frivolous things, which somehow ends in them each commissioning Long Furby Creator Willie. 

Some of them are well intended, like the first one. Reggie wants to make Bobby Junior, his and Bobby’s child. Obviously it needs to be red and black themed, and Willie has a blast discussing options. He even makes it a little birth certificate to go with it, and swaddles it before putting it in the box to ship.

Bobby is amused, and even more so when Alex recoils, because he thinks it is terrifying.

Obviously the next time Alex really annoys him, he contacts Willie to make the pinkest, gayest, most creepy furby on the planet. Can you get fur in the colour of his hoodie, please? Yes please can it have little creepy hands. Obviously it needs rainbow tufts at the ears. Can it have a little necklace that says ‘come play with me Alex’.

Bobby hides it in Alex’ room, and Willie gets a video, clearly taken from a closet, of Alex walking in, seeing the Furby on his desk chair holding his drumsticks, and shrieking. The video cuts off when Bobby can’t hold his laughter anymore and Alex chases him all over the house.

It’s only then that he realises this is like, Sunset Curve. That’s the drummer he’s had a crush on for the past six months. That means that Reggie and Bobby weren’t just a coincidence, he’s actually been in contact with Reggie Peters and Bobby Shaw!

He sends a little ‘Dear Alex, I’m so sorry I didn’t know this was a Spite Furby, he just wants to love you, let him into your heart’ message to the official Sunset Curve Instagram. He wakes up the next day to find four new private users follow him. When he follows them back, he realises it’s the guys Finstas, the private accounts they use to be normal people (or chaos gremlins).

Reggie’s account is filled with not only cute dogs, but also Bobby Junior having Adventures around their house. Bobby’s has at least two more videos of scaring Alex with the pink Furby. It takes a bit of courage (and some ribbing from his friends about being a coward), but he starts commenting on the Furby posts. And then other ones. And the guys always comment back and heart his comments. And somehow, everything gets kind of flirty? Willie has no idea what’s going on but he’s living for it.

Luke is next, because he’s kind of jealous he doesn’t have a Long Furby now. He’s annoying to Bobby plenty!

For his birthday Bobby and Reggie team up to get him one. It comes with a little orange beanie (with gaps for the ears to stick out). They didn’t ask for that, but Willie’s seen him wear it a lot when he stalks casually looks at the guys’ Instagrams. He gets many delighted comments back. The three Longbois have a tea party on Reggie’s account. They’re found in between the remnants of Luke’s birthday party, passed out and wasted, on Bobby’s page.

Willie delights in it all. On his business account, he posts his non-custom creations, taking inspiration from the guys’ shenanigans. He even brings one of two to Caleb’s house for his monthly ‘gotta have dinner with the Uncle who took me in while he casually grills me about if I’m dating yet but hey free food’ dinner. Caleb watches amused as he wraps the Furby along the banister of the fancy stairwell in the hall. And maybe even gets a ladder so Willie can put one in the chandelier.

When he announces he’s going to be at a convention in LA on his business account, he immediately gets four hearts. He spends a lot of time making new Longbois and other creations for his booth, sometimes working deep into the night with the Sunset Curve soundtrack on.

When he looks at his latest creation, black with a flannel plaid belly, and pretty sparkly eyes, and cute little deer horns and a little cowboy hat accessory, he thinks: oh no.

Because that Furby is clearly for Reggie.

He almost doesn’t take it with him, but well, he needs stuff to fill out his booth. He wraps the Reggie Furby along the bar that holds up his backdrop, hoping nobody will ask him if it’s for sale.

He’s doing alright, selling mostly his smaller pieces, artwork, and furby inspired jewelry, though someone dressed up as Miss Frizzle does purchase the galaxy inspired long Furby he made. She leaves with it draped over her shoulders, and he passes her some extra cards just in case.

And then it happens. What he’d been fearing, dreaming about. From up ahead, he heard a familiar voice say: “Oh my god there it is!”

Sunset Curve had come to the convention. Most of them were in costume, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker and Poe Dameron... and Alex, though his familiar pink hoodie was swapped out with a Baby Yoda t-shirt and jean jacket. Willie didn’t miss how he was using Reggie as a human shield, put between him and the furbies.

“Uh, hi!” he says, trying and failing to be casual. “It’s so nice to meet you in person.”

They talk, he shows off some of his wares. Alex even comes closer to look at some of the non-Furby art Willie is selling, when Reggie’s eyes wander up and he gasps.

“Guys,” he whispers, pointing. “It’s perfect.”

They look up and oh no, there it is. They’ve spotted the Reggie Furby. Willie feels his cheeks flame, but he can’t very well look away. “I ah... maybe made him with you in mind,” he admits. “Not that you have to buy him! I mean I just... I was listening to your album while working and it just happened and...”

A giant wad of cash is slammed on the table, Reggie making grabby hands until Willie unwraps the Furby from the stand and hands it over. He tries to argue that it wasn’t a custom job, so the price is actually lower, but Reggie doesn’t listen, cuddling the Furby close. 

“Well,” Bobby sighs dramatically. “If you feel that bad about it, maybe you should just take us out on a date to make up for it.”

I will do a post-show write up, but I think this sums it up the best. I asked my mom after the show which of the three that she has seen did she like the best (Harry, Niall, or Louis) and she said, “I think Louis. They are all very good. Niall really like the music and is very talented, Harry puts on a show, but Louis is all heart. You can tell he’s all heart.”

And like if that doesn’t explain Louis I don’t know what does.

Ok, a few notes on the Louis show.

I was in the VIP viewing area so I was right in front of where he came on. Security kicked EVERYONE out aside from press. Like Elie Goulding’s crew even had to move to the back of my section. His whole team (Matt and Mark managers) and people who look like they were in the BMG camp were there and behind me.

The way Louis walks with the absolute BDE energy is insane. Seeing it in person is just truly, truly unreal to witness. He truly is a wonderful person to just admire.

Josh runs around everywhere and sings as he is filming.

Krystal is shorter than I thought she would be!

People did the “woo woo woo” thing Harry does during his shows and the people from Elise’s crew were so so confused so I had to explain why that was happening. They found it odd (as did I.)

While Louis wasn’t overly chatty, he was so fucking amazing and had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Everyone was into him and basically him alone. I truly don’t know if anyone came specifically for another artist. (Speaking as an Oldie™️) who is Young Gravy and why is he a thing? He was disgusting.

Oli got stopped for trying to go backstage. My friend goes “what does he do?” And I explained his role and she found it amazing.

I love Louis so much. Bigger Than Me sounds so good live. It’s just going to get better.

They played Harry like 5 times before/during the sets.

I love him. I love him. I love him!

There was also a huge ad for his album on the screens as we were leaving!

Sometimes I’m reminded of Louis going to Barcelona and Harry showing up with the Barcelona coin bracelet just as soon as Louis came back and like I need to lie down. Must be the mold.

Coachella was an opportunity for the general public and (mostly) non or casual fans to see Harry. These are the people who read the headlines, believe what they are told, and (probably) believe the womanizing het narrative they’ve been sold. But instead of playing it safe, instead of toeing the line, Harry didn’t play. He said rainbow sequin jumpsuit and gay cowboy fantasy with my initials on the ass. These people saw the Harry we have known for 10 plus years. The flamboyant, supportive, funny, talented, flamboyant, goober he is. I hope that at least a small percentage of these people will leave and go “that was gay. That wasn’t the dude I’ve been told about” and question the narrative they’re forced. He isn’t that, and I’m really glad Harry got to prance in front of 100,000 people and be the Harry we know and love. I hope everyone else catches on that HARRY is enough.

Harry having a pretentious music festival forced to sing and listed to “What Makes You Beautiful” a song and fan base that has been constantly disparaged and overlooked by music snobs and executives is probably the best and biggest flex ever.

Watch List- Foreign Language Television and Movies (Latest Update Aug. 4, 2024)

Foreign movies and television I want to watch. Because many if not most of these are not dubbed I have to dedicate more attention to them than those in English. I'm the type of person that usually writes, does a craft, etc while I have a show or movie going so I use this list under less common circumstances than most of the others.

Because of the sheer number of things I want to watch I’m separating my watch list posts into four categories. I keep them separate primarily for organization so I can decide what to watch based different variables (mood, time, language, etc)

I’m pretty much constantly adding things to all of my lists- hence why I’m amending when this was last updated to the title itself- and will update this post anytime I update the wheel I use to randomize my next choice, which usually happens after I’ve added or subtracted a significant number of options.

Rainbow in the Dark Eddie Munson x fem!cheerleader! reader

summary: you go to eddie’s trailer for music recommendations after having a pretty crappy day. feelings are revealed when eddie asks what your type is.

word count: 2.2k

warnings: reader thirsting over eddie’s arms and tattoos, crappy friends, unlikely friends to lovers.

notes: please listen to the song rainbow in the dark by dio it’s literally so so good. also i suck ass at writing summary’s lmao

requested by: @dilflover3333 <33

it was just a small teeny tiny crush… right? thats what eddie told himself as he looked at you from across the lunch room.

he loved game days, not because he actually had school spirit or anything, but because he got to look at you in that beautiful cheer uniform. it hugged all of the right places on your body, which by the way, he considered perfect. on any other girl, he would’ve taken the cheer uniform as a symbol of snobbiness, but on you, it meant the exact opposite.

you two had english class together. which by the way eddie was a god at. it was the only class he could maintain a B or above at all times. he’s had a lot of experience with writing by being a dungeon master. the both of you sat next to each other in class. it was the highlight of eddie’s day. you two would talk non stop about anything and everything. but alas once that bell rang, you would go back to your snobby friends and you wouldn’t talk to eddie until the next day.

it’s not like you ignored him. you did the opposite actually. anytime you would see him in the halls you would wave or say hi, leaving eddie being a lovesick mess. he just wished you hung out with him more often. but he knows that you’re much too busy with cheer practice or hanging out with your more “popular” friends.

one day you walked into class, not having the best of days, with your walkman clipped to your hip. eddie immediately noticed.

“watchya listening to princess?” eddie asked, a smirk painted along his face.

“rainbow in the da-” but before you could even finish the name of the song, eddie’s loud voice interrupted yours.

“DIO?! there’s no way you listen to dio!” eddie shuffled in his seat with excitement bouncing off of him. he grabbed the neck of his jean jack and turned around. displayed on the back, was the devilish monster that’s on the cover of the album ‘Last In Line’ by Dio. with the sleeves being cut off of the denim jacket, and the sleeves being cut off the Black Sabbath tee he was wearing, his whole arm could be seen. his muscular, tattoo painted, beautiful arms. if you were being honest, it was hard to look away from him.

“yea i got this album recommended to me by this really cool metalhead guy i know.” you said teasing him. eddie’s face dropped and he looked at you with confusion. “i’m talking about you eddie.”

“oh! right! i knew that.” he said, obviously lying. eddie didn’t actually expect you to listen to the bands he recommended you. god, this was any metal heads best dream! a pretty girl listening to music he recommends you. “so i’m assuming you like the album then?” but before you got to tell him how much you adored the song, the final bell rang indicating that class was starting, and the teacher started shushing the class’s conversations.

eddie cant stop thinking about the fact that your actually listening to music he told you about. the fact that you went to the hawkins music store and picked it out and bought it, just because he told you about it was mind blowing to him. eddie wanted to talk to you about music, but today was sadly one of those days where the teacher did not stop talking. luckily sooner than later class was over. eddie got up to leave class when he felt your presence next to him.

“before we were rudely interrupted, i was going to say, yes, i loved the album!” by now you two were walking in the halls together. it was weird, you never really talked to him other than in class. by now your friends usually would’ve met you in front of the class room, but today they were no where to be seen.

“that’s great! you know i could always give you more recommendations from my amazing music taste.” eddie joked, and it brought out a smile on your face.

“what about tonight?”

“huh?” eddie was confused.

“i could come over to your house and we could… i don’t know order a pizza or something, and you can give me more music recommendations.” you suggested like it was nothing. eddie’s heart was soaring! you wanted to hang out with him?! you’ve been over to his place once before, but that was for a project, and you were with two other classmates.

“yea! that’s sounds great! come to my place at 5? if that works for you?” at this point you two were standing in the halls for so long that people gave you guys weird looks.

“yea works for me! i’ll see you later eddie, i have a seventh period… sadly.” you gave eddie a frown that looked so adorable to him.

“okay, bye!” eddie waved and rushed to his car. thank god he didn’t have one more class because he wouldn’t have been able to contain his excitement.

as soon as eddie got home he called gareth.

“i’m sorry man but i’ve gotta cancel band practice tonight!” on the other end of the line, gareth rolled his eyes.

“dude you can not be serious! this is the second time this month! we have a gig on tuesday!”

“i know! i know! but i have a legitimate reason this time, and before you even ask, no, it’s not another drug deal!” gareth was sick of eddie canceling all the time. “i have a girl coming over tonight!”

“jesus eddie! i hate you so much right now! what girl could possibly be more important than band practice?”

“y/n. y/l/n.” eddie took pauses between your first and last name for dramatic effect.

“eddie stop lying! i’m being serious here!”

“so am i!” eddie said, defending himself.

“oh my god you’re being serious. ok… that’s a legitimate reason i guess.” gareth was in disbelief.

“thank you! relay the message to jeff okay? bye!” eddie hung up so fast, it left gareth confused. eddie now had to clean the entire trailer. uncle wayne has been bugging him about it anyway, so now might be the best time to do it.

once you got home you freshened up your makeup and put on a cuter outfit then what you were wearing at school. it’s not like it was date or anything, just a casual hangout with the guy you’ve been crushing on all year! but other than that, all you did was count down the minutes until you got to see eddie again.

if your friends knew about you going over to eddie’s house, they probably would’ve looked at you weird and then insulted eddie. luckily they didn’t know about it. earlier that day you overheard your two bestfriends talking about you. that’s why you put on your walkman before you walked into sixth period, not only did the loud music flood out your thoughts, but it also reminded you of eddie.

you weren’t sure why eddie was talked about so badly by other students. eddie has been nothing but nice to you since the first day of school. yet people still call him freak and loser whenever they see him. it honestly doesn’t make sense because most of the people that talk bad about him, also buy weed from him.

once 4:45 rolled around, you got in your car and drove to the trailer park. you were so nervous. spending so much time alone with eddie was going to make you fall even harder for him. once you pulled up to his home, you got out of your car and knocked on the door. within seconds eddie opened the door with a goofy smile on his face.

“why hello there m’lady! welcome to my humble abode.” he got out of the way and motioned his hand towards the cozy home.

“why thank you kind sir!” you did a curtsy and walked in. it looked the same as last time but much cleaner. eddie looked good, he had the same shirt on from earlier that day, just without his denim jacket.

jesus h christ she is so beautiful! eddie thought to himself as you walked into the trailer, looking around with curiosity.

“do you want to order the pizza now? or…?” eddie asked.

“yeah! that sounds good!” eddie called the pizza place to have it delivered while you sat on the couch observing eddie.

it should be illegal for him to have his arms out like that, tattoos on display! christ was he hot. although their opinions meant nothing to you, you couldn’t help but think what your friends would think of you right now; being in eddie “the freak” munsons home!

“follow me” eddie knocked you out of your trance. you hadn’t realized he hung up the phone already. you followed eddie to his room. when you worked on the project earlier that year, you hadn’t been in his room but somehow when he opened the door it was exactly how you pictured it.

“your room is pretty cool!” you looked at the huge amps, the anthrax banner, and his beautiful guitar.

“thanks sweetheart.” the nickname made you blush. “so! here is my beloved music collection. i could bore you with all of my nerdy facts about all of the bands, but i don’t want to bore you, so you can take a look yourself.” if you were being honest, you wouldn’t mind if he “bore” you with his facts. you would love to hear him talk about something he’s passionate about.

“cool, thanks.” your eyes immediately caught sight of an album with the cover of a man screaming in pain; it was Anthrax’s ‘Spreading the Disease.’ You picked the cassette up.

“that right there is one of my favorite albums ever! my favorite song on that is ‘A.I.R.’ you can take it if you want.” eddie was so sweet.

“really? thanks eds!” the nickname just slipped. but eddie didn’t correct you or anything. “you’re so sweet to me.”

“how could i not be sweet to a pretty girl like you!” the words didn’t register in his mind until they were already out. his eyes got big.

“you think i’m pretty?”

“uh duh! so does majority of the school!” eddie was in disbelief! were you really that oblivious?

“no way! no one really talks to me in class but you.”

“what about your little cheerleader gang?” you giggled at eddie’s words. god how he loved that sound.

“well today i caught my friends talking about me behind my back so… guess they’re not really that trustworthy.” eddie looked at you, you had a sad look on your face. eddie felt so bad.

“what bad could you have possibly done? you’re perfect!” eddie complimented you. eddie has a way of making you feel better no matter the situation.

“i’m far from, but thanks. to be honest i’m not really sure. they don’t even know i heard them. all i heard was that someone saw me with jason carver, and one of my friends has a huge crush on him! like i would ever do that to her! or to myself! why would i willingly spend time with that douche! he’s not even my type” eddie laughed.

“what is your type? if you don’t mind me asking.” eddie smirked, and right before you were about to answer, there was a knock on the door. eddie got up and you followed him. it was the pizza. eddie paid the delivery guy (like the gentleman he is) and served you a slice, before both of you walked back into his room.

“so are you gonna answer my question?” eddie asked. dammit he remembered you mentally cursed.

“i like guys who are unique, and stand out from a crowd. they have to have a good music taste. they have to be nice to others. i would never go out with a douche. it also helps if they have long hair….” you said that last sentence quietly so he wouldn’t hear. but knowing eddie, of course he heard you.

“are you saying you like my hair?” he said, flipping his hair dramatically. you two were sitting on the floor against his bed, thighs nearly touching. so very close to one another. when he said that he leaned his head closer to yours.

“yes i love your hair.” you said softly. eyes glancing to his lips. eddie doing the same. soon you felt a hand rest against your jaw.

“can i kiss you y/n?” eddie asked. you nodded, and you felt his soft lips meet yours. it was the best kiss you’ve ever experienced. his lips were so gentle against yours. eddie, feeling more confident now, slipped his tongue into your mouth. he was so heavenly. you guys kissed until you had to pull away to catch your guys breath. maybe you should get music recommendations more often from eddie, if this was how it would end up.

both of your guys cheeks were painted a light shade of pink as you two got ahold of your breathing.

“if it wasn’t obvious, i really like you y/n.” eddie mumbled.

“yea i got that.” you gave him a smile. “i like you too.” you two ate your pizza slices, while stealing glances at eachother making you and eddie blush.

gareth was never going to believe what just happened.
