Eddie manages the band's TikTok when they are on tour. The content is mostly behind the scenes of them on the road, news about where they will be going next, band practice, jam sessions, etc. The boys have been friends since high school and get along amazingly, like family. But also like shit, just like family. So there are also videos of Eddie laughing while Frank yells at Jeff for farting on his pillow in the tour bus or Eddie filming himself while running as Gareth chases after him for eating the last cookie. HIS last cookie.
The channel is pretty popular even though it doesn't update often. And the links to their merch store and ticket store while on tour, help a lot with the band's expenses. Music being online makes people buy fewer albums and vinyls. And Spotify paying 0,03 cents per song makes being an up-and-coming band that needs money to rent a studio for recording, bus fares, hotel accommodations and to pay the roadies and technicians… kinda hard.
But the TikTok helps! So Chrissy, Eddie's best friend, Gareth's fiance, and their manager, suggests that Eddie keeps the TikTok going while on break from tour.
It doesn't take long to come up with the perfect idea. Restoring Eddie's old van to make it a small house on wheels for road-tripping. But they’ll need a handyman, someone who knows what they are doing.
Luckily, Chrissy has a solution to that. Her cousin Vicky, just came back from traveling the coast on a huge RV with her girlfriend and her girlfriend’s best friend and, according to Vicky, the man is an expert. He built the whole thing himself, from the ground up. So Chrissy tells Vicky, who asks Robin, who talks to Steve, and the meeting is set up.
On the day of the meeting, Eddie parks the van outside his place, sits on the back, and hits record on his phone, “Morning!” he says to the camera, squinting one eye as the sun hits his face because it’s actually noon, “I’m gonna do something fun during the tour break and I wanted to take yall with me. You see, ever since I was young, I've had this dream. Well, other than becoming a musician who can live off his music, thank you for that by the way,” he smiles and tips an invisible hat towards the camera. “The second thing I've always wanted is having one of those built-in movin' houses, a little RV, a camping van, you know the ones” he wiggles his brows and moves the phone a little around him, to show where he’s sitting so people know where he’s going with this.
“Sooo I asked a friend of a friend of a friend, who is an expert on making dreams come true, to help me and we are gonna mod my van. My lovely Haley, my faithful baby, who has been with me since the beginning… I'm scared. This dude better be good.” he laughs nervously.

And then his focus shifts to something behind his phone, “Oh, here he comes now!” he waves enthusiastically and keeps looking, either forgetting he’s still filming his reaction or too distracted to save face, he squints a little and then frowns, blushes and, chuckles nervously again, “Oh no. he’s hot.”

The charm to polin is that at their core they are both losers. They make corny ass plant puns that never land with whatever crowd they’re with. Penelope’s idea of flirting is to act like you're seconds away from fainting from heat stroke. She runs a successful gossip column and yet she's extremely shy outside of that. Colin can't help making dick jokes in the presence of his own mother. He's set on ruining the love of his life and he follows through with about as much backbone as a snapable glow stick ( I mean, he succeeds!!! but not in the way everyone knows he meant). Their idea of being bad together is to drop an eclair into a potted plant as if they're five again. Neither of them can register a damn social queue. The two of them break every rule of propriety there could possibly be between them unintentionally. They both somehow think that dating lessons with each other are going to be no strings attached. Polin at its essence is boy and girl cringefail being so disgustingly in love it makes everyone else around them sick. You need to understand, love, and accept this to be on board with them.
@lazylittledragon has been killing me with platonic stobin\mombin
So mom Robin is living in my brain.
Robin picks at her fingernails when she's nervous. It's something Steve has picked up on in the years he's known her. Her rambling is more obvious but if she's quiet, it's the nail picking that's her tell.
Robin called because she wanted to talk. She came over almost an hour ago and she's still sitting quietly just picking at her nails.
Steve grabs one of her hands. Putting a stop to it before she makes on of her fingers bleed. “you know you're safe with me.” he is saying without words. Because they don't need words.
She gives him a watery smile. It says, “this is hard to say.”
He pats her hand. A sign to take her time. The keep sitting still in silence.
Finally Robin makes a choked sound, and says, voice a little shaky. “I want to be a mom.”
Steve nods. Sure, they were at that age, right? Robin just turned 32 on her birthday. “Ok.”
“I want you to be the dad.” She rushes out.
Steve's heart thuds.
“There's no one else I would want to do this with.” She gives him a bigger yet still teary smile.
“Robin, you know I'd do anything for you.” He looks her in the eyes so she knows he means it.
