— ISAGI ! on the back of his phone
Oh, he’s obsessed with this one polaroid you let him take, his cock slotted between your pretty tits. Your nails sparkled in the photo due to the flash, acrylics all shiny as you held your breasts together to keep him nice and snug
That night was one where he had earned himself a big win, the celebration you gave him was timeless. Your face was all sticky, smeared in pearly cum and runny spit, little bubbles all around the corner of your mouth
Clear case and all, everyone can get a good look at his favorite girl, see just how much of a cockslut she was with a fat dick between her tits and a pearly smile on her face
— BACHIRA ! shoebox
As deranged as Bachira is, he likes to keep you for his eyes only. That being said, the Nike shoebox that’s stored under his bed is full of filth, softcore porn, downright sin
Pictures of your leaking cunt just pumping cream all over the base of his thick cock, pictures of your fucked out face all flushed and dazed. Constant memories that he happens to keep ahold of for lonely nights
There’s enough to nearly fill up the big black box that once held his soccer cleats, so full that the lid can’t even fit on properly to do its job. It’s a tradition for him to snap a shot of you when he’s got you cockdrunk, after all
— CHIGIRI ! trendy altoids wallet box
Did we expect anything else from our artsy princess? He follows trends and those metal altoid mint boxes aren’t an exception, he carries it around with him at all times, decorated to perfection
He’s got tons of miscellaneous shit in there, ranging from a mini bottle of fragrance, a roll of tums, a fortune slip from the fortune cookies the two of you got at the local chinese restaurant in your area
Oh, but his favorite item is taped at the top of the box, sealed in place with a hello kitty sticker. A polaroid of you with his cock down your throat, taking it so deep that you can see the outline in your esophagus. He just so happens to be pressing a palm flat against, Chigiri was real proud of you that night
— KUNIGAMI ! scrapbook
A man of class, really. He’d hate to see all of those precious photos of his princess getting damaged or scratched, his best bet was getting a plain book to store each pola in their own plastic slots
They’re even organized, ranging from you sucking his cock, to your back turned to him as he’s plowing your guts from behind, to you on your knees with glossy nut covering every goddamn inch of your body
It’s his prized possession, stuffed in his bookshelf next to all of his old soccer books and manga. A good flip through is enough to make him chub up in his joggers
— NAGI ! playstation
That playstation was damn expensive, he’d be a fucking fool to not add a breathtaking picture of you bouncing on his dick like it’s your lifeline. It’s taped with washi tape, front and center for him to look at anytime he’s within reach of his console
You’re purely glowing in the photo, the sheen of sweat he got you worked up in making your skin glisten like a goddess. The flash managed to catch the details of his veined up arm as he wrapped a huge hand around your throat
He’s obsessed with the expression on your face too, brows furrowed and jaw slacked with a fat glob of spit dripping past your lips like a hungry dog. His girl was a whore for big dick, a fact that made him smirk lazily when it crossed his mind
has a really long drawn out hair care routine that takes him a couple hours to do.
really enjoys to do a deep clean of his dorm once a year and is totally the type to see something while cleaning and get so distracted for hours
sends letters to Yuta frequently and there always about the most random stuff its so funny. they get so long that sometimes he has to use three pieces of paper. he likes to send little gifts as well, and will send little trinkets like stickers he found at a cute store or a little polaroid picture of all of their friends.
he knows they can text, but he feels like sending letters is so much more personal
he does text Yuta a lot though, and usually its pictures of things he saw throughout his day like a pretty sky or a funny sign he saw while walking down the street.
his room decor is absolutely crazy
a lot of it is random stuff he found -he's a collector- and the other half of it is funny stuff he printed off or pictures of his friends.
his room is really comfy actually. he has a large collection of bean bag chairs and the LED's he has set a nice mood for his room. his friends spend a lot of time there, its like the hang out spot.
also collects shoes, and has them on display. really likes Jordans and Nikes.
really good at buying gifts for his friends birthdays. knows EXACTLY what his friends want, and always includes some sort of little gag gift or something to do with an inside joke.
he may not be able to talk, but he really likes to show how much he cares about them through his actions, and has a big habit of giving things to his friends. he's kind of like an outside cat- bringing little things to the people he cares about, but instead of bringing dead mice or birds he brings little trinkets.
even though he doesn't talk much, his voice is SO PRETTY and he is a GREAT singer. honestly, its a blessing he can't speak more because everyone would constantly be in awe of him.
cw: fem!reader, nsfw mentions so minors scamper away please!
- you met during one of coop & remer’s driveway baseketball games
- in fact, you were used as a method of a psyche-out on remer, when one of the bigger opponents whispered to him “holy shit, you see the legs on that girl sitting in the grass over there remer?”
- and he’s a sucker naturally and almost threw the game from how quickly he looked in your direction
- and there you sat, smiling at him as you leaned back with confidence, digging your wedged heels into the grass and picking at your nails, your face rosy and kind
- one miniscule ringed finger wave & and a smirk from you and remer was HOOKED
- came up to you RIGHT after the game (like as soon as it ended) to tell you how much he liked your pretty skirt
-“what’s that fabric? velvet? cotton? it looks real pretty on you honey”
- he is a SUCKER for you batting your eyes at him & he frequently calls you “angel eyes” because of it :’)
- remer is absolutely the type of boyfriend to switch shoes with you when your feet hurt
- like there are multiple nights where you leave one of his games wearing his scuffed up vans & he’s still in his sweaty scrunched nike socks (with a hole in the side, literally always) hobbling out in your heels with a smile on his face
- and when coop brings this up (or rather hysterically laughs in remers face) remer shrugs and continues hobbling to the car, where he obviously opens the door for you
- besides him always paying for your clothes and nails, he absolutely loves when you give him little fashion shows & show him outfits you’ve come up with
- “rem, what do you think… pink top with the denim skirt, or green top with the denim skirt?” “well your tits look great in both…” “DOUG” “YOU DIDN’T LET ME FINISH…. but the green brings out your eyes… so green”
- but this conversation was held strictly while he stared at your chest
- he loves giving you jewelery with his initials on it, ESPECIALLY sellout!remer
- he bought you this gorgeous, dainty little (gold or silver) anklet with an “R” charm dangling from it, and you wear it to all his games
- “baby please wear the ankle bracelet, it’s good luck for me… you want me to win, don’t you?”
- of course coop thinks you’re gorgeous, i mean everyone does, but remer isn’t threatened by that
- in fact he’s always showing you off, whipping mini polaroids of you out of his wallet to show all the guys
- “look! this is the playboy shoot she did for my birthday!”
- naturally buys you a magenta baby tee that says “PLAYMATE OF THE YEAR”
- if he’s feeling extra annoying he puts a giant picture of himself on the back LMAO
- whenever you stay over at coop & remer’s house, the whole entire house smells like a nice floral perfume, and almost all of doug’s toiletries sit neatly on the floor in his room because he swipes them off the bureau to make room for all of your makeup and accessories
- speaking of makeup, he goes to multiple red carpet events covered in your lipstick stains
- i’m talkin all over his face and his chest & his shirt, just a ton of red lipstick stains & his dopey smile and red cheeks
- one time while coop was doing laundry (shocker) he caught a glimpse of your red panties with a big “DR” embroidered on the front of them & nearly shortcircuited running to squeak’s room
- they thought that it must’ve been a joke remer was pulling on them, but later that night you pulled up to the game in your low waisted jeans & the straps of the panties pulled over your hips, peaking out from your pants & they were distracted for the entire game, meanwhile remer had a shit-eating grin on
- frequent ass slaps, from him or you
- “where you goin’ sweetheart?” followed by a rough slap to your ass as you walked by “doug!!”
- he LOVES lip gloss, like he’s absolutely enamored with the stickiness and glowiness, and he’ll honestly just smear it all over your mouth with his two fingers cause he just loves the way you look with it
- will show up to multiple post-game interviews with the same sticky lips… and cheeks… and neck…
- god forbid coop ever accidentally spill something on your purse or shoes, remer goes nuts
- “DICKHEAD!!!!! THOSE ARE VIVIENNE WESTWOOD!!” “baby its okay—” “NO! YOU REALLY LIKE THOSE AND HE’S BEING A DOUCHE”
- for the denslow cup, you wear his extra jersey and a v cute, v short cargo skirt & platform sandals as you cheer him on from the front row of the stands, and when he spots you he literally wipes his glasses and puts his hand on his heart like hes been winded
- “oh my god” and coop comes jogging up, concerned for his friend, “remer! what’s wrong dude?” and remer’s literally gripping the post holding the dugout up & hunching over grabbing his stomach LIKE HE’S IN PHYSICAL PAIN, “dude i’m so hard i might pass out right now” “EW DUDE!”
- overall, remer LOVES having a hyperfem/bimbo/high maintenanced! girlfriend
- he wasn’t popular growing up, or in high school… or college, but it makes him feel so happy to be able to walk around with such a confident, beautiful and kind girlfriend <3
words and items yet to be filled - - mason mount x reader.
gif is not mine! it’s @canirove gif!
the original post isn’t popping up on the tag so i’m “reposting again”.
this is the link to the first part!
“Are you going to pretend we didn’t have a good time the other night?” asked Mason. His bed hair is in full display wearing a black Nike tracksuit and a pair of sneakers. You stood there in awe, getting deja vu all over again. “No… But what difference does it make?” you said raising an eyebrow and your left hand coming to your hip. He cocks his head to the side and forces a tight smile.
“A huge difference Y/n… You have no idea.”
“Mason, I don't know what else you want from me” you attempt to say calmly, not trying to sound nervous. “I just want to talk, simply talk Y/n. Is that so much to ask for?” his brown eyes plead, desperately just trying to pry you? You knew you shouldn't but reluctantly you nodded, “I don’t know if I'm ready to talk to you. This could go one or two ways Mason, and I'm afraid… I’m afraid to end on a bad note again and that is the last memory and thing I have of you.”
“Let me come inside. And we can just talk, I won't force you to accept anything. I just want to try and amend things. Clear the bad air between us,” Mason promises and you find yourself giving in, how could you refuse this pleading man infront of you? “Okay, but keep in mind I wasn't expecting to have guests over,” you note making him let out a small chuckle but accepting the invite into your flat.
Mason's chest feels heavy and cold as he walks in again after so long. He notes nothing here has changed as much except for new plants and some paintings, including the ones the two of you did while on a beach trip. He finds himself walking around the living room to take any details, he lets out a laugh when he sees the polaroids of your relationship still hung up, concert tickets, the sucker wrappers where he wrote small notes before you started dating, and even the plastic rose that had slight dust on it.
“Along with the necklace you have on, is there a reason why you haven't taken these down?” he asks, you stare at his back feeling caught. “Uhm, no. I guess I forgot to take them down when I packed the rest of your stuff and memory box,” you say. He turns around and flutters his eyebrows confused, “What memory box?”
Again. You feel caught as if you've done something bad. You try to push down the tears and lump in your throat, “I made a memory box after we broke up. It just has small items, letters, photos, the bracelets we got in Portugal, an old CD we found, just some stuff from our happier times when we were together.” You still kept all those things he wanted to ask but didn't because that's just who you were, you kept the small meaningful things with you at all times.
Mason had the urge to see it, wanting to re-live the memories all over again, maybe even for the last time depending on if things don't go as expected. He walks closer to you, and you grow shy and anxious at the serious look on his face, “Can I see it? The memory box?” you nod quickly and dodge to the second bedroom in your flat. While you do that, Mason walks over to the corner again and steals the photo that Ben took after the champion league ceremony. Such a special and memorable night for both of you.
You walk back into the living room seeing him sitting down on the couch, still looking around. “Here we go,” you set down the red box labeled “Y/n and Mason’s Box <3.” He reluctantly removes the lid, but his heart flutters at the stuff inside. He takes out so many pictures and re-reads letters, all while you stood back and let the man you still love go through them. “This hurts one Y/n,” Mason whispers after he read the page where you wrote your ‘Vows to you’ if the one-day marriage did occur.
“I honestly forgot about that one, guess it won't happen, ill get rid of it you-” you try to take the sheet of paper back but he pulls it away from you. “No don’t. Don't get rid of it,” he begs shaking his head. “You envisioned it too? The happy ever afters? The future we would’ve built together?” Mason breaks his own heart by saying.
“Yes… I pictured everything Mase,” you croak feeling your bottom lip quiver. He moves closer to you craving to hug or hold your hand. But before he could, you let go and launched yourself into the familiar muscular body, wrapping your hands around his upper body and hiding your head into the crook of his neck, breathing in the cologne and aftershave. He brings your warm body to his lap, your legs almost straddling him, and his hands find their way home inside your shirt and around your waist.
He hears the pain he caused by the way you sniffle and sob, especially as you've never been the one to cry or show what pain can do to you, it almost felt foreign again to him. All he can think about is you finally in his arms, selfishly never wanting to let go. He rubbed your sides and drew small shapes on your back, while yours remained wrapped around. He wanted to pull you close when he felt you pull back after a while.
“Tell me what I did for you to break up with me. Was I not lovable anymore? Was it something I did, say? Did you just simply fall out of love with me?” you asked wiping the remaining tears away from your face, attempting to compose yourself. His hands still stayed at your sides, “You didn't do a single thing Y/n! And of course, you were and are lovable, I can’t and will never forget what you did for me to bring me to where I am today, only you could do it.”
“I'm trying Mason. I'm trying so hard to move on from us and what we had, but your image constantly appears in my head over and over again, reminding me you're still there. So help me understand mason. We were doing so well, we were happy and stable. Why did you end something so perfect and loving for us?” you cried out.
‘Please don’t move on from me. Don’t move on from us,’ wanted to scream and let out Mason. But he didn’t just stared at you losing his confidence little by little.
Mason let a few tears fall, you had seen him at such vulnerable and down states before but never like this, especially because of you. “I began to compare myself to the people around me, I lost myself once our team began their downfall, it was too many differences to resolve at once, the confrontation scared me and I kept pushing you and everything away because I didn't want to face those challenges. In doing so, I lost you because I began to think I wasn't the person meant for you, I didn't want to hold you back from doing what you loved,” Mason continued, now tugging on the string of his hoodie.
“But you wouldn't have! We could've worked things out! You left so suddenly and expected to be good friends afterwards? The reason I never called or texted back was because I couldn't be friends with someone I deeply love. It was either you were with me or you weren’t. But I wasn't going to make that decision, I could never hold you back from achieving your goals. The number of times I saw photos of you and I wanted to hate you but I couldn't because, at the end of the day, you treated me so well,” you tell him watching as his stare bore down to you.
You could see the pain on his face, his sad eyes, the wrinkles in the outer corner of his eyes, the small vein in his temple popping out, you desperately wanting to be the only one getting rid of it but things weren't like they were and this was the life the two of you created since then. “You don't know how much I’d love to close my eyes and start all over again. There's no way I can forget about you Y/n because it’s you, the woman I love, and the only one who can heal this pain you left inside when you left.”
“I know I fucked up, I live with it because it's me who caused us to be like this, but I can and will change that. We both know deep inside our hearts the passionate love and feeling for each other is still there. The history of two lovers who found their way back to each other,” he says whipping your tears away with the soft pad of his thumb. Your hand goes up and slowly removes it from your face, the feeling of uncertainty coming back, “How do I know you won't leave again? That you do what you did again?”
“You came into my life at such a correct time, and I can't afford to lose you again Y/n. I love you so much to let go of our love that easily and freely. If anything being apart has reminded me of how much you did for me, for us, and I took it for granted sometimes. I was stupid and immature to let you go, listening to others rather than myself who knew deep down what the right thing was,” Mason says interlocking your hands and rubbing his thumbs over your delicate and soft knuckles.
“I promise y/n. I won't leave or lose you again. I can't promise those days where we will have our downs, but I can say that from now on it will be better and have loving days, if you allow me back into your life…” he whispers along your lips after a few moments of stillness, your faces suddenly so close to each other you can see the small scar on his lip and freckles that adorn his skin, the redness on his face, and lashes that touch his cheeks due to his closed eyes.
“You have no idea how good it feels to be back in your embrace Mason. It feels so right and perfect, I almost forgot how your touch leaves a permanent sensation in my skin,” you whisper and surprise the both of you. “I spent almost 9 months without you completely lost and incomplete because I had lost the person who was there to pick me right back up. I can’t deny what I feel because it is so strong and present always, only you have made me feel this way…” you say along his lips watching as he began to breathe in deeper.
This is what you caused him to do…
“I love you Y/n…” he breathes out and closes the small space between you by brushing and locking his lips with yours. He groans at your sweet taste when he kisses you, kissing you slowly yet so passionately it makes your head spin. “Mine, always will be mine,” he growls and pulls you closer by the waist. You gasp and tug at his hair but keep kissing him. You pull away and rest nose to nose seeing him bite his lip with a playful smile on display. “I love you Mason, but please don't break my heart again.”
He holds out his pinky waiting for you to wrap your small one around his, and when you do he declares and seals the promise. Mason knows not everything is yet to be solved but with time and little by little he will prove it to you and demonstrate just exactly how much you mean to him. His chest fills with butterflies when he hears you giggle at his actions which were leaving and plaster kisses all over your face, jaw, and neck.
“God I love you. So beautiful baby…” he compliments causing you to blush. “Stop it, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much,” you say standing up when you feel your legs beginning to tighten and cramp. “Let's bake like old times and then we can head to bed. We have no training tomorrow so I will be able to sleep and make breakfast for you, how does that sound” Mason suggests causing you to stare at him in awe.
“It sounds perfect handsome but, is this actually real? Or a dream?”
“Its very real baby, and get used to it because were forever my MJ,” he says, referring to the spiderman movie. He picks you up causing you to squeal and wrap your legs around his torso, holding onto dear life. He sets you down in the kitchen, watching as you go and look for the required ingredients, after doing so, you tiptoe and give him a chaste kiss, he meets you half way.
He brings you into his chest and dances with you swaying side to side after putting the cookies in the oven. Kissing your temple from time to time and whispering just how much he missed and loves you. You set the table with some glasses of milk and the plate of cookies cheering to your love. Safe to say the cookies were finished in the span of minutes.
After showering and getting ready for bed you gave some clothes for him to sleep. You set the bed and sat down waiting for him to return with some water bottles, knowing the cookies will cause thirst later on in the night. He returns with the two bottles and the red memory box. “I hope we can still add stuff inside here?” he says shyly, his voice filled with nervousness.
“Yes Mase. Anything you want,” you smile at him, and observe when he pulls out the photo from when they won the UCL trophy and places it inside. “When did you-” you say curiously, “I was going to steal it if things went downhill, but since they didn’t… its now inside with other cherished memories we both built together.”
He changes into some plaid pj’s and a tight grey longsleeve that defined his body, his muscles in full view causing you to feel like a innocent schoolgirl again. He lays down and shuts off the lamp, facing you. Mason kisses you fervently once more and brings you closer to his chest, holding the back of your head while he kisses you once more. But you had different plans wanting for him to feel the love. “Lay on my chest, let me rub your back and play with your hair. You deserve well rested sleep.”
“But what about you?”
“I have you back in my arms, that’s all that matters, I sleep better knowing you are…” he wasted no time into laying on your chest snuggling his head closer to your neck and his arm wrapping around your front. He sighs deeply when he feel you small hand guide up and down his back and then play with his har. “Goodnight Mason,” you kiss the top of his head.
I would recommend listening to Hatachi No Koi - Lamp while reading this! The vibes just fit the story imo!
no warnings!

Zohakuten was spending the day at Rui’s place. They were actually just going to the city but he told his brothers they were going to stay at Rui’s place.
He needed to escape from this house. He had enough of Sekido’s yelling, Aizetsu’s sobbing, Karaku and Urogi’s carelessness. He couldn’t stand it so he went to escape with Rui.
Zohakuten could finally drive. Rui’s father, Muzan, bought him a car despite all of his attempts of saying no.
Muzan just really likes Zohakuten.
Zohakuten left after saying goodbye to Sekido who was glaring at him. Sekido always seems to know when Zohakuten was going to do something bad.
He just swung his car keys around his finger and hurried out of there.
His car was nice, he loved it. Zohakuten climbed into the driver’s seat, pulling down the mirror ot examine himself. A bandaid was on the bridge of his nose and a patch on his face.
Of course, Zohakuten got into a fight. It was with that stupid Genya kid. He pisses him off so much and is annoying.
He wore a wifebeater underneath his letterman jacket. His jacket was black and has white stripes on his collar and on his arms. The back of his jacket said “Zohakuten” in purple with a dragon on the back. He designed that jacket himself. His pants were simple sweats and his shoes were nike blazers.
His shoes had little spots of blood on them from the fight that happened earlier this week. He didn’t bother cleaning them.
Zohakuten went to close the mirror but he paused, looking at the polaroid photo he had. It was of him and Rui at the skating rink.
It was a shameful photo for Zohakuten because he was clinging onto Rui. He had no idea how to skate and Rui was laughing at him! But to see Rui smile and laugh made his heart swell. He likes when his best friend is happy.
Now he couldn’t wait to hang out with him even more.
.
.
.
Rui stepped out of his house and started walking to Zohakuten’s car.
Zohakuten couldn’t help but examine his outfit to see if they were somehow accidentally matching like they usually end up doing.
Rui was wearing black pants and nike blazers but his shirt was a white sweater with a cat on it. Zohakuten loves his best friend. He is the only one who has shown him such kindness even though he was so rude to him during their first meeting.
Zohakuten hopes that they would meet in another lifetime. He wants Rui to be his best friend in every single life that he lives.
He hopped in, a small smile on his face. “Hey, Zoha.”
“…Hey, Rui.”
“Did you hear that Obanai and Mitsuri broke up?”
“Good! Obanai was so fucking annoying!”
“Zoha!”
.
.
.
They were finally in the city. Zohakuten had parked in some random parking lot. They would just be walking around really.
They walked around a bunch, going to stands to view the items.
“Look, Zohakuten. It’s you and me as bunnies.” Rui pointed at a black bunny plushie and a white bunny plushie.
Zohakuten thought it was funny how different they were but yet so alike. Zohakuten always admired Rui. He was kind, gentle but yet weak and fragile. He, on the other hand, was harsh and mean and a lot stronger than Rui physically and mentally.
“Do you want it, Rui?”
“No, it’s okay, Zo. I just thought they were cute.”
“…I’ll buy them.”
Rui didn’t have much of a choice because Zohakuten bought them. He had said, “if not for you, then for me.” So now Rui hung onto the white bunny plushie for dear life.
Rui thought it was funny how everyone thought Zohakuten was scary and mean and weird. He knew that his best friend had been born sick with a strange unknown illness with purple vein-like cracks under his eyes, he just thought it made Zohakuten look even more beautiful.
His best friend is the kindest person in the world.
.
.
.
“Oh my God! Move out of the goddamn way, you old hag!”
Maybe not the nicest…
Zohakuten was annoyed about that crowds. It made him extremely anxious and set him into fight mode.
Rui just looked up at him, hugging his bunny plushie close to him still.
“Rui, these people are pissing me off!” You can practically see the steam coming out of Zohakuten’s ears.
Rui didn’t say anything but just grabbed the sleeve of Zohakuten’s jacket, leading him away from the crowds.
They stopped by a nearby lake and Rui plopped himself down on a bench.
“Sit down, Zo. Relax.”
Zohakuten frowned for a moment before taking his seat next to Rui. He sighed out in relief, finally feeling like he was able to breath. He still had his bunny plushie in his arms and he just squeezed it closer.
The cherry blossoms trees around them were beautiful. Rui loved cherry blossom trees. No wonder why he dragged Zoha over here.
Zohakuten glanced at Rui, his face was flushed with excitement from the trees. He almost scoffed when a petal fell in Rui’s hair.
“What?” Rui looked over at him with a raised brow. He was caught off guard when Zohakuten brushed the petal from his hair.
“You got petals in your hair, idiot.”
“Must you call me that?”
“…Yes.”
Rui just rolled his eyes playfully at him, enjoying the spring air and how quiet it was where they were.
The silence wasn’t long though.
“Did you enjoy today?” Zohakuten asks, a tremble on his throat. He wanted Rui to have fun and not miss out on anything in life. He was scared of somehow disappointing him.
“Hm? Of course I did, Zoha. It was fun plus now we have matching bunny plushies.” He held up his white bunny plush to Zohakuten, a smile on his lips which seemed to make Zohakuten relax.
“…You know you’re my best friend, right?”
“Zo, I’m your only friend.”
“Tch! Whatever! I was going to be nice to you but you wanna be a brat!”
“I was joking!”
“So was I.” Zohakuten chuckled a bit, turning his head to smile at Rui.
“Thanks for coming with me, Rui. I really needed this.”
Rui stared at him with wide eyes, the smile on Zohakuten’s face had him frozen. He just blinks before embracing Zohakuten tightly.
“Of course, Zohakuten. Anything for you.”
For once, Zohakuten felt happy as he wrapped his arms around Rui. He felt pure happiness.
If you're reading this, that means I have the opportunity to sell you something. That's because I have your attention. Celebrities make their careers off of your attention. With a highly recognizable face and name, and with fan-bases become increasingly devoted with the rise of the internet, celebrities can attain a near cult-like following. This makes them excellent promoters- whether it's a club, life style, or brand- because their name guarantees attention. It guarantees sales.
Chance's are, if you've been on the internet long enough, you've seen that clip where Kanye West talks about Lady Gaga being the newly appointed Creative Director of Polaroid. While talking about brands using celebrities for promotion, Kanye says "...look at Gaga. She’s the creative director of Polaroid. I like some of the Gaga songs, but what the fuck does she know about cameras?” (Kayne West, 2013). Kanye West was using this quote to backup his argument on the absurdity of many celebrity endorsements (here's the link to an article that discusses the interview in-depth). Yet in 2009, Kayne West created, alongside Nike, his shoe own brand: Yeezy. The company quickly grew to incorporate ready-to-wear and ditched Nike, before partnering with Adidas, and is now a solo brand. Yeezy is now worth 400 million dollars. What the fuck does Kanye know about shoes?
Chance's are, it doesn't actually matter whether Kayne West knows anything about fashion or Lady Gaga knows anything about cameras. What matters is that they're public figures who garner a large amount of attention. These celebrities and brands know the power of attention, and they know its value. In the modern day, when anyone can create a website with a computer (that's literally what I'm doing right now), creating a business doesn't have nearly as many hurdles as it used to. If you're a celebrity, you have even less challenges to overcome. You already have direct access to thousands or even millions of people on your social media pages alone. You already have people working for you on Public Relations. You already have a public image and a well-defined, likeable personal brand. All you need is something to sell (really, it can be anything) and you'll start making sales instantly, with a single social media post.
So that's what celebrity side-quest is: a promotion or pursuit taken on by a celebrity that is separate or unrelated to their typical celebrity lifestyle and career.
It is my responsibility as a citizen of America and as a student of my Consumer Behavior class to inform you (yes, you) about the wacky, extravagant, and questionable promotions and pursuits celebrities have taken in the name of the good ol' fashioned dollar.

Steve woke up in a much calmer state than usual, He was tired and also had just remembered he had to be going to his boyfriend, Eddie Munson and his best friend, Robin Buckley's graduation. He knew that every awful piece of shit from hawkins has graduated and is long gone, but he felt tingles of anxiety run all over his body the type that didn't go away, but nonetheless he dragged himself out of bed and showered. He chose to wear something simple, A tears for fears t - shirt, a leather jacket, light blue jeans and some plain white nikes. He hopped into his 1983 BMW 733i and drove over to eddie's trailer park and got out of the car. He ran over and knocked on the door, "hey" he said to eddie who was wearing his usual vest along with an abundance of jewelry and his usual black clothing. "Where's your graduation gown and stuff?" 'it's in my bag" he said, he ran to steve's car and hopped into the passenger seat praying that robin wouldn't get pissed. Steve ran over and got into the driver's seat. He kissed eddie's cheek before starting the car and drove to Robin's place. "Seriously Dingus?!" "Is eddie your new best friend or what!" She said whilst getting into the back of the car, Both steve and eddie started to giggle. They got to the school building and ran inside ( except for steve who respected his friend & lover's privacy ) After they were done changing, They ran into the gym to finally get a fancy paper which held no meaning whatsoever! Steve sat in the way back to not disrupt the graduates and their parents ( In which Eddie's uncle came and so did Robin's parents ) They were called in order of what year they were born and so eddie came before robin. "Congratulations class of 86' , I hope now that all of you will be using your adulthood wisely" said Principal Higgins. After a couple boring words later, People got up and shook the principal's hand and got their papers, It was officially eddie's turn. The only people who cheered for him were steve who was cheering and clapping for him like a maniac, his uncle who was smoking a cigarette from afar but gave him a "i'm proud of you" look and Robin who cheered like she did when tammy thompson came to sing like a muppet at the championship game. He went up to the small stage and was about to grab his diploma when - "Wait..eddie!" said his painting friends Gareth , Jeff and some other guy who drove all the way from band practice just to see him finally give Principal Higgins the bird . And so that is what he did, He saw the diploma..snatched it out of his hands, flipped him the bird and ran the hell outta there "See ya never, fuckers!" was eddie munson's official speech to the shithole that was Hawkins, Indiana. Robin soon got called as well, She walked up there in a polite - ish manner and grabbed her diploma and made a short semi - heartfelt speech about how she'll miss it here and how her friends would miss her as well. Steve knew she was lying through her teeth. Eddie and Robin talked to their relatives and their friends as well, They came up with an idea to have a small after - party at eddie's trailer. Steve finally came over to robin and talked about the party. "Hey Eds...um i have a question?" "Sure what is it?" Steve tried his best not to sound rude with his words. "How did you know you were gay?" Eddie looked at him with a look of shock. "August 8th, 1982. My dad was reading the Newspaper and i was chilling in my room. I was only seventeen at the time but it feels like i barely remember anything, I was strumming my guitar and my dad suddenly bust down the door..."WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!" "I looked up and it was a polaroid of me kissing another boy." "I told him it was just a misunderstanding, some stupid dare at a party, but that didn't stop him from calling me all sorts of names." Eddie started to tear up and cry, Steve hugged him and told him everything was gonna be alright and that he'll have the best after party ever with all of his friends, Robin soon found them and tried her best to comfort them. He felt regret for asking such a question.
