#bc that was their walk on music. and i was front row for that show

[carcarrot]

i wish i could articulate the experience of seeing a band you're into live like actually seeing them in person because its so strange yet fascinating

#every time i hear take me for a ride by sparks it makes me think of the nyc show - the first show of theirs i saw #bc that was their walk on music. and i was front row for that show #and like. it was so surreal. so strange. obviously in a good way but its just something id never experienced before #and i noticed this especially with russell in that i had a weird thought that went 'oh wow thats him. he realls looks like himself' #and like of course he looks like himself but what i meant by that was he looks like that guy who ive seen 5 billion images of. hes that guy #like not only does he look like the him in more recent pictures but seeing him in person like 10 feet away #its like i could recognize every era of him. i could see like 70s russell in his face. bc of course thats his face! but still #is this making any sense. #like i feel like if you met 70s russell once and never saw him again until now youd immediately recognize him #and sure thats because of two other things - one that he has distinct facial features kinda and also that hes aged so well #but it was again so surreal to be like. in the same space. right in front of. fairly close to. that guy whos been in my phone. you know? #this was true for ron and the other guys in the band too of course its that feeling of wow its them! those people ive only seen pictures of! #and again being front row for that was bonkers insane. its like what do you mean these people are real #but the thing w russell i just especially noticed almost immediately when they came out onstage like hes that guy. for real #is this making any sense . anyway i just had to finally get this one out #the only downside of this experience was that yes these people are real and yes they can see me. a little anxiety inducing #its like nooooo dont look at meeeee im such a weirdo i bought a ticket to see you like everyone else here #anyway. concert thoughts

[yawnjunn]

:*:✼ TXT attending your concert ✼*･ﾟ

Woahh its been a while huh...got super busy with life, just failed my physics exam 😜✌️ and now im on my school break, i decided to write this post bcs im SUPERRR bored rn but anyways

╰┈➤ idol!ot5! txt x idol!gn!reader

╰┈➤ no warnings, just fluff

╰┈➤ quick guide : y/n = your name, y/g/n = your group's name, y/f/n = your fandom's name

yeonjun(연준) :

☆ This man isnt afraid to attend your concert WITHOUT covering his face, yk how some artists covered their face and attend their friend's concert? yeah...not yj tho

☆ He might only bring a lightstick, not those extra banners or signs or whatever

☆ The only reason why he only brought a lightstick was bcs, he treats your concert like its his monthly/weekly routine

☆ Youre having a 2 day concert in seoul? You know damn right he'll be there despite his busy schedule

☆ Having a concert in japan? Finds a way to get to japan just to attend your concert

☆ so thats why he didnt feel like the need to bring extras cs in the end, yk hes gonna attend anyways

☆ but that didnt stop fans from screaming whenever they saw yeonjun

☆ he'd probably try to make a conversation with your fans while waiting for you to perform with your group

☆ "so how long have you stan y/g/n ?"

☆ "im a y/n biased, and you?"

☆ when you came on stage and during the breaks between performing, you called out yeonjun

☆ "yeonjun i know youre here somewhere, cameraman pls find yeonjun and point the camera at him"

☆ and when the camera is on him, hes smiling brightly and covered his shy face after getting those cheers from your fans

☆ you'd probably ask him to dance to one of your songs

☆ "yeonjun dance this song for me pls" then hes like shaking his head and all, refusing

☆ but the moment the music started, he danced so well that he literally became the hot topic of your group's show

soobin(수빈) :

☆ well soobin however, he'll come 2 hours early before your concert starts

☆ the reason he came early was because he was excited to give out his handmade freebies

☆ the night before, soobin had asked if he could hand out some freebies to your concert and you found this soooo cute that you told all your fans to find soobin for freebies

☆ he may be a little bit biased but all his freebies are just you.

☆ you wonder, what did he made? well...he made a banner, your photocard that he printed himself using his company's printer, candies of your fav and pastries that he had bake

☆ believe me or not, he woke up as early as 4 am just to make cute little pastries as your concert take place in morning

☆ he believed your fans wouldnt get breakfast, so he baked the pastries for them 😭

☆ as soon as your concert starts, he whipped out his phone so fast and record it and whenever you came on screen, hes like "wahhh theyre so pretty"

☆ when you start singing, he starts crying???? hes way too proud of you that he starts crying and vent to his friends sitting next to him

☆ "you know how hard my baby worked? im so proud of them, i remember them crying every night to me because of training and now look at them, theyre on stage now"

☆ his friend sitting beside him was like, soobin are u okay??? are u drunk?? but either way, his friend can only smile and nod while listening to soobin rant

beomgyu(범규) :

☆ idc what anyone says but this man will be fighting for a front row ticket

☆ literally camps outside the venue like..literally

☆ you had offered him to enter the venue earlier than anyone before the show starts

☆ but he refused this bcs he wants to get them freebies from your fans 😭 instead of giving them out, he wants the freebies himself

☆ goes from fan to fan, if he sees a fan handing out freebies? he'll be speed walking, another fan giving out freebies too? he'll be speed walking

☆ receives the freebies until it couldnt fit in his little bag that he brought with him

☆ as soon as the security lets everyone inside, he'll be running just to get close to the barricade

☆ since hes an idol, i know its ridiculous but he'll be surrounded by 2 of his protocol team 😭

☆ even though he had brought his 2 protocol teammates, he'd somehow make them enjoy your concert too

☆ like when your group tells the fans to jump, beomgyu would convinced his protocol buddies to jump aswell

☆ you spot beomgyu in the crowds and he'd wave you like crazy, like a fan boy 😭 ...does beomgyu knows that youre his lover???? 😭😭😭

☆ but anyways, he'll go on weverse and post the concert pics and take a photo of the freebies he received

☆ "what an amazing night, they look so beautiful tonight and thank you to y/f/n for giving out the freebies, i'll be keeping it forever"

taehyun(태현) :

☆ this man is quite lowkey but he is a hardcore stan of yours

☆ hes a bit dissappointed when he founds out that he wasnt the first one to arrive at the venue, he was like "2 hours before the concert starts, and theres alot of people waiting..." poor him, he thought he was the first 😭

☆ he'd show up with his mask on and a cap as he didnt want the fans to know he came to see you

☆ but that kinda failed as your fans started to notice his famous boba eyes in the crowds

☆ this made him open his mask, since theres no point in using it 😭

☆ as soon as y/g/n performs, yk damn well he'd be taking tons of videos

☆ he'd sing along to your songs and dance to some of it

☆ he memorised the fanchant too !!!

☆ bro got jealous when he sees y/f/n got the banners like...ugh he wants one too????

☆ he was like "see i knew i shouldnt have brought lightstick only"

☆ politely asks y/f/n for some extra banners

☆ believe me or not, he'd use those digital text on his phone that says, "y/n please notice me"

☆ luckily you noticed this and blew him a kiss and in return, he gave you a big heart which made you giggle on stage which also made y/f/n cheer louder

hueningkai(휴닝카이) :

☆ you think hes gonna go alone to your concert? nope

☆ he'll invite everyone he knows, his members, his family, his staffs. literally everyone to show how talented you are

☆ as much as you would love your boyfriend to bring in alot of people, apparently it has limits

☆ so in the end, he only brought his 2 sisters, lea and hiyyih

☆ dont worry, he paid for their tickets lmao

☆ LOVES receiving freebies from y/f/n

☆ when lea or hiyyih got your photocard from the freebies, he'd say smthn like "can i have that..?"

☆ not only he likes receiving freebies but hes also a merch buyer. sees a cute wristband for the lightstick? he'll buy. a cute shirt? he'll buy. a batch with your face on it? he'll buy.

☆ he'll buy everything that has your name or your face on it, until lea told him to stop unless he wants his bank account balance to be $0

☆ he'll do anything to get noticed by you, even tho he knows youre his lover

☆ before the concert, he texted, 'i'll be on the middle row, 3rd line from the front!!'

☆ but he decided to go extra as he thought you'd forget to see him so yk what he did? he brought glowing light sticks with him to make him more noticable 😭😭

☆ when you noticed him, you gave him a heart and him being a fanboy of yours, he started giggling and bragged to his sisters, "did you see that? they definitely gave that heart to me"

☆ after the concert ends, he'd ask one of his sisters to take photos of him doing cute poses whenever youre on screen, like him doing a big heart whenever you show up on the screen

☆ fans found this cute as they started uploading his leaked pictures doing those poses

☆ people may or may not label you guys as the couple of the year 🤭

🎸 bent down to you after the show to just chat

🎸“ive seen you here before . . . you a fan ?”

🎸 you explained you were and he invited to his next shows, you kept going to every show you could until he asked you out for a date after one

🎸that date turned into more and more until he asked you to be his after a show after singing a song written specifically for you

🎸 brings you to every single show and always makes sure you’re in the front row

🎸 has had to check the fans and his bandmates on several occasions to make sure they know that you’re his.

🎸“flirt with her again and you’ll be walking into the bar with your drumsticks inside your rectum, mkay ?”

Linked Universe / GN!Reader - Random Headcanons abt the Chain! :)

Part 1 / Part 2 (ur here!) / Part 3

Sun: Reader (you/they/them)

Orbit: Headcanons-ish

Stars: Hyrule, Time, Fierce Deity, Twilight, Warriors

Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: light cussing, & Trigger Warnings: none known.

☆

Hyrule (The Legend of Zelda - OG game, Zelda II: Adventures of Link):

Lost easily, obviously, you know this

What you didnt know was that its very easy to get lost with him

Bc he's so excited/curious for new sights he doesnt give any fucks abt where he is, so it devolves into that "wait, I thought YOU were leading us there?? Then where tf are we??!!" very quickly

Does feel bad he stressed u out smtimes but he somehow manages to get into such wild shit that Hyrule's kinda preoccupied being confused/amazed/finding his way out, or any combo of these situations (once again, usually with you unfortunately)

Is the luckiest when it comes to getting lost or anything to do with "natural" things

Like he heard u rlly like this one fruit? Accidentally gets lost all day and panics all the Links + You until he shows up at midnight with a shirtful of them

("I found a few fruit trees/plants in the woods while wandering! I tried to grab a few for you and before I knew it, it was dark, sorry...")

Likes learning little skills from other people, like learning how to do makeup from Legend, or how to spot collections of rupees the Minish have left somewhere from Four, or how walk on any terrain from Wind (good at walking on a ship, on land, climbing etc)

More of a "sunset" hiker than a "sunrise" one

Likes to do your hair! Whether that be braiding, putting accessories (he handmade shhh) thruout it, or helping with hair maintenance, likes how strangely intimate but domestic it feels together with you (u return the favor ofc)

(All the other heroes are looking at you both like kicked puppies jfcccc🙄)

Time (Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask):

Gets anxious if he's late to things, likes being fashionably early (or ungodly, when u let him get away with it)

Has absolutely been that meme from Parks and Recreation where he's like "Alright. I'm not mad, I just wanna know. Who broke it?"

(Abt the coffee pot for the camp)

Knowing full and well-

"I broke it. It burnt my coffee for the 3rd morning in a row, so I punched it. I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a moblin head on a stick. ...good. It was getting a little chummy around here."

MF LOVES GOSSIP (wouldn't admit this even at swordpoint)

Wars has absolutely been the person in the meme of:

Wars: "...why would you tell me this??"

Time: "Bc no one will ever believe you."

Wars: ...😦

Has a resting bitch face and knows it, actively cultivates it, scary dog privileges for you,

Type to take ur side in whatever situation ur in, even when Time has no idea whats going on, always, without question <3

The same height as First, (Twi's a close 2nd), and feels most secure when the 3 of you are at the front of the group, but First/Time are slightly in front of you

Like ur literally the person walking their 2 huge scary doobermans/mastiffs one leash in each hand basically 💀

(Once again, Link is deeply comforted by ur voice just over his shoulder/just hearing u even without seeing you)

Very subtly sarcastic, u dont even know he made a dig at you until 3-5 business days later

Likes ur sarcasm more than anyone else's in the group, or even his own lol

Fierce Deity (Majora's Mask):

Likes music, any music (amused at drunk karaoke)

Casually cradles ur arms or back whenever ur falling asleep/tripping/being clumsy near him

Very warm and smoothed calloused hands

Thinks abt what he's about to say so hard/long, that the conversation's moved on by like, 3 rounds/subject changes by the time he's actually ready to talk

Scolds ppl (in like a sentence) who neglect their needs, like sleeping/eating/hygiene

Finds peace in nature, if hes ever upset, u can bet he's already taking a walk by a stream

Likes teaching u/other Links little skills he has, its nice to feel appreciated/needed for something other than fighting or big moments

He falls in love with small moments, like the first time u made them all a dessert recipe from ur world, or repaired First's scarf (for the millioneth time) and bc everyone had gotten their clothes scratched up, everyone needed repairs so most Links were sewing smth lol

Enjoys watching ppl experience smth for the first time, or even himself exp smth for first time

Fierce smiled fully for the first time when you got into the mountain hot springs in Wild's Hyrule for the first time and were super excited

Also the type to hold ur hand while stepping in to make sure u dont fall, or just subtly boost a Link that was abt to fall from climbing smth

Like for being the tallest, he's surprisingly sneaky, the energy of the biggest cat in the house yet somehow also the quietest

Does that thing where someone takes ur hand and like massages ur fingers, palm, wrist and shakes them out kinda for you <3

Twilight (Twilight Princess):

Trips UP the stairs.

Cold start LMAO

ok ill be nice to him,, sike

Easy to bully?? U mean that kindly, he's just such a golden retriever sometimes u cant help urself (tho u make sure to reign it in and not take advantage of it so as not to genuninely hurt him)

Lol likes to "herd" his favorite people, like those dogs livestock farmers have u kno that they say end up herding their owners/their family lol

Like making subtle circles around the Chain, wrapping an arm around Hyrule and teasing him to quietly bring him back into the group before he gets lost,

Tugs on Time's armor to slow him down, mf may be in armor head to toe but he'll outpace all of u 💀

Likes to put his hand on ur lower back to guide u back into the group from whatever scenic thing u got distracted by

(so sue you, ur literally in The Legend of Zelda's Hyrule, surrounded by pretty blondes, why tf wouldnt you be distracted all the time??)

The only time he doesnt herd actively is in Ordon, just subconciously lol <3

Terrible sleep schedule, but sleeps like the dead when he does, has collapsed with a limb on top of you and u couldnt escape

Hard time waking up in the morning despite being country boy, who usually have to do chores first thing in morning on a farm

hates/envious of Wild (up at 5am even on days off?? Foul.)

Runs warm, but complains abt a slight breeze?

Would sleep with no covers if it werent for morning dew

Wishes cats liked him more (its the wolf smell)

Twi has the constant energy of a tall person carefully maneuvering around cluttered/low doorways while someone a head shorter runs by him and bounces off of him

U get onto/scold the Links and he's immediately the first to just sit on the ground, or put down whatever he's holding no matter what he's doing LMAO 😭😭

Keeps his eyes on u too the whole time lol

Warriors (Hyrule Warriors):

Cries over romance novels/dramas

A virgo in all stereotypes of the word tbh

Invented the red-string conspiracy theory board before the red-string conspiracy board existed in Hyrule

Also likes to take care of your hair! (What?? He and 'Rulie don't fight over ur hair, that'd be childish, he's not a foolish boy- Hyrule, hand over the brush.👹)

Remembers the little things abt u type of person, like ur favorite drink, ur favorite stories like tv shows/books even if theyre from ur world, ur favorite clothing pieces like shorts vs. pants, etc.

The only Link who can single handedly claim he could take your closet and dress you in something you'd actually wear.

Honestly once he got the hang of it, would get better at dressing you, than you

(Another domestic thing he adores, picking outfits for u/finding that perfect piece of clothing you've been needing lately)

Born to night-owl, forced to morning-bird 😔

Wars wakes up stiff sometimes bc soldier training is sleeping on ur back, hands to ur sides, laying straight in ur bed, so as to fit into bunks/bedrolls close together

It got better as he was promoted to Captain, so he could have his own quarters but its still a hard habit to shake

One of the few Links who works up the courage to genuinely pitfully ask if you'd mind massaging his shoulders again? He slept badly last night, please?? 🥺👉👈

(Ur so weak for pathetic hurting pretty blonde twinks lol)

The most lowkey abt taking care of Chain, but u make sure to take care of him as a gift back, and you've definitely caught him tearing up abt it 💖

☆

Debated writing smth else first but figured this was easy and short and i started it first so youll have to wait like one more post before more Masc Reader stuff guys 😔

Starstruck [rockstar! reader x tomura shigaraki]

cw: obsession(?), cursing

other: fem! reader, modern (quirkless) au, format is a bit funky bc i didn’t intend it to reach this length

wc: 3k

synopsis: tomura didn’t plan on falling for the frontwoman of some band he’s never heard of before, but once he saw you something changed. 

✦ Tomura’s favorite band was in town and he wanted to have a good view of the stage, so he made sure to queue up early. Like most people, he was solely going for the headliners, without any real knowledge of the openers. 

✦ When doors finally opened, he managed to snag a spot close to center barricade. He was already annoyed at how close everyone was to him and he knew it would only get worse as the night went on. 

✦ The first openers went on and they didn’t catch his eye nor did they distract him from the bodies pressed against him. Their music felt too generic for his taste and the band members were dressed like every other person in the venue. Once they finished their set, he pulled out his phone to check how many songs the next band would be doing. He read that they would do anywhere from 5-8 songs depending on the night and he impatiently drummed his hands on the barricade and let out a sigh. 

✦ The crowd cheered as each member walked onto stage and he clapped along half-heartedly. That was until his eyes fell on you as you strutted out on stage towards the mic with your guitar in hand. He felt his chest swell with excitement as you introduced your band to the crowd. He took note of your name and watched eagerly as you began to play. 

✦ A couple songs in and everyone and everything else in the room disappeared in his eyes. All the bodies pressed against him faded, the murmurs of the strangers beside him were drowned out. Hell, even the other members on stage weren’t there to him. He was simply hooked on you, he found your presence alone intoxicating. 

✦ Tomura was so focused on you that he hadn’t noticed how he excitedly clapped his hands at the end of each song or how loud he yelled when you hit your high notes. You took note of him and made sure to flash him a smile. He felt his own smile on his face as he cheered you on. You sang some lines as you looked at him and again he felt something in him, a tinge in his chest. 

✦He had been to tons of shows in the past, but never had he gained so much interest so quickly. Maybe it was the way you carried yourself with such confidence or the way your eyes closed when you sang, clearly giving it all you had, or maybe it was the way the stage lighting hit you perfectly. Tomura couldn’t quite place it, but he wasn’t complaining. He was happy to have his eyes glued to such a beautiful girl like you, especially when you interacted with him so much. You made him feel special, and in his eyes, he was. It didn’t take that long before he was convincing himself that you thought the same things about him. 

✦ Before he knew it, you were announcing your last song and he frowned. You saw this happen in real-time and even gave him your own little pout and mouthed a little “I’m sorry.” 

✦ You were used to crowds writing you off as an opener and not really caring. You were also used to people who knew all the words by heart. The silver haired boy stood front row lay in a weird grey area. You could tell he didn’t know the words, yet you could hear him above all else. You wanted to win him over and unbeknownst to you, you already had. 

✦ You were sweaty and tired as you told the crowd that you’d be at the merch table after the show. You made sure to make eye contact to hopefully coax him to come by after, you saw his eyes light up as you did so. You and your band mates thanked the crowd. You pulled up the setlist that had been taped by your mic stand and saw a wall of hands fly up when you held it above your head. You watched as your bandmates tossed their setlists and picks into the crowd, but you already knew who you were giving yours to. 

✦ You walked to the edge of the stage and stretched your arm as far as you could to give it to your biggest supporter of the night. You thanked him with your hands over your heart and a little bow. You saw him smile and nod at you as he held the setlist in his hands. You walked off stage waving at the other attendees with your smile shining bright, head held high. 

✦ He held it in his hands astonished that you handed it to him. Most times artists just crumple it and throw it to someone, but you made the effort to come over to him. The way you smiled at him made his head spin, he looked at the paper in his hands and saw that it had kiss marks on it. The shade matched the lipstick you had been wearing and he assured himself that it was a sign. 

✦ The energy in the crowd grew as the minutes until the headliners came on stage edged closer to zero. Tomura’s energy grew as the minutes until he would get to see you dwindled down. He heard the first chords of their opening song start and immediately perked up. He had waited all day for this and he couldn’t believe it was happening. But, whenever there was a pause in between songs he found that he couldn’t keep focus on the band on stage. He loved their music, but he felt something different when it came to you. He zoned in and out when the music would play through the speakers, bass booming through his body. He jumped around and sang, he was having the time of his life. 

✦ When the band announced they were on their last song, Tomura froze. He felt a jolt of electricity through his body, he was nervous because the set ending meant he would meet you soon after, he wasn’t ready. He shook himself out of his head and lost himself in the music once more. 

✦ The drummer had thrown and drumstick into the crowd and Tomura ended up catching. When he turned to make his way out of the pit, his eyes fell on a young kid. He overheard the kid’s brother say something along the lines of “next time you’ll get it, buddy.” So without any hesitation he tapped the kid on the shoulder and extended the stick to him. The kid turned and squealed excitedly. “What are you supposed to say?” The brother chirped. “Th-thank you!” Tomura smiled at the two boys and went about making his way to you. 

✦ Most people would’ve kept it for themselves, but Tomura had a soft spot for kids at gigs. Reminded him of when he was young and all he wanted to do was go to shows. Plus, he already had the setlist from you and as far as he was concerned that was better than a drumstick from a drummer he didn’t even know the name of. 

✦ He saw the line at the merch table and his heart sank, no way you’d stay that long. He wasn’t going to give up though, but he figured he had enough time to fix himself up a bit. He wormed his way through the crowd and slipped into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and shook his head in disbelief. He combed his hands through his shaggy hair and tried to make himself presentable. He took off his hoodie and wiped the sweat from his body best he could. He took a deep breath before returning to the line, which was even longer now. 

✦ You looked at the line in between meeting people and signing things. You were amazed the line was this long, usually you were lucky if there was a handful or two waiting for you guys. Your members were visibly tired and they could tell most people only wanted to meet you anyways. You heard them mutter something amongst themselves as you posed for photos. One of them settled behind the merch table to take over sales, whilst the others walked off to help move the stage equipment to the trailer. 

✦ Shortly after, a worker from the venue came over to and said you had to pack up and get out of the venue. You looked at the people in line and frowned. You walked over to the merch table and told your fellow bandmate what the worker said. “What about these people?” You said. They proceeded to stand on the table and shout to the line that you’d be finishing the meet and greet in the parking lot since security was kicking you out. 

✦ Tomura heard what they had said and checked his phone for the time, it was already past midnight. His phone wasn’t even halfway in his pocket before a security guard came up to him and ushered him out. He looked at you waving to the line and smiled to himself. When he neared the doors he felt the cold air and quickly pulled his hoodie over his head. 

✦ He thought about the weather and how cold it was. He was hit with a wave of guilt, you would be waiting in the cold because of him. He saw the line form near the back of the venue and contemplated just walking to the subway station. He realized how silly it would be to leave after waiting this long and he had himself convinced that you’d be upset if you didn’t get to meet him. 

✦ You put on a jacket, but felt it ruined your outfit. You dug through your suitcase and found a flannel, you figured it was better than nothing and its colors matched your fit well. You walked out and saw the line, it was significantly shorter than it had been, but you didn’t blame them for going home. Your eyes trailed down the line and at the end you saw him, the boy that had looked up at you with such adulation during your set. You smiled and waved at him and he waved back sheepishly. 

✦ Tomura’s cheeks flushed when you waved at him, he was hoping that he could just play it off as the cold when he spoke to you. His hands felt tingly and his stomach was doing flips. With each step he took, the reality set in more and more. You were right there mere meters away from him. He saw how you smiled with the others and brought them in for hugs. He heard your laugh and nearly fell to his knees. He couldn’t believe how pretty it was. Your voice grew louder as he was the next person, and the last person, in line. He completely froze up as your kind eyes met his, he was starstruck. 

✦ You waved goodbye to the girl whose album you’d just signed then turned your attention to him. You smiled in his direction and opened your arms for him. He didn’t move and you pouted. “Come on, I don’t bite.” You tried to lighten the mood and cocked your head. 

✦ Slowly he walked into your embrace and wrapped his arms around you. Your warmth felt so comforting that he let the hug linger for a couple seconds before breaking it off. He mustered up all the courage he could to speak. “You were amazing tonight.” You held your head high and smiled before thanking him. “I’m glad you think so…” You trailed off trying to get his name. 

✦ “Tomura. Sorry, I should’ve led with that. I’m Tomura.” He looked at the ground when he spoke, hands shoved in his hoodie pocket, nervously twiddling his thumbs. “Well it’s nice to meet you Tomura, I’m y/n. Thank you so much for waiting, I know it’s cold.” You could see redness on his cheeks and felt bad for the poor boy. 

✦ “I’m sorry for keeping you out in it.” Tomura was beating himself up mentally. “Don’t worry about it, being with you is enough to warm my heart.” You tried not to cringe at your words, but you figured artists said things like that all the time. This time his face went red and you could tell it wasn’t from the cold this time. You let out a little laugh and he felt the warmth in his chest return. 

✦ Your words just affirmed his delusions. He took his hands out of his pockets and reached them out to you. To his pleasant surprise, you took his hands in yours. He was ecstatic that he didn’t have to ask, it’s like you knew what he wanted. “y/n, I’m so glad that we got to meet. Next time you tour, I’ll make sure to come cheer you on.” He spoke whilst holding eye contact this time and saw your doe eyes staring back at him. 

✦ His hands were warm as they held yours, you didn’t want to let go of the warmth. You took in his words and were touched. “Thank you, it means the world to me. I feel so lucky that I have someone like you.” You meant a supporter like him, but to Tomura it meant that you were lucky to have him in your life period. His thoughts began to spiral, but he held his tongue hoping you would continue and you did. “I’ve got to get going so we can make it to the next city on time. I look forward to seeing you again. Next time we come through, I’ll make sure to look for you, Tomur.” You gave his hands a slight squeeze before letting go. 

✦ Hearing his name fall from your lips felt heavenly. He was so drunk off the feeling that he hadn’t realized you let go of him, his hands still hovered empty in the air. Once he felt the cold, he was brought back into the moment. “Thank you for taking this time to be with me.” He opened his arms for a hug goodbye and you stepped into his arms. His eyes shut and he took in the moment. The way your hair smelled, the warmth of you against his body, your little hums of whatever song was stuck in your head. He was assured he was in heaven.  

✦ Again, he was sucked back into reality when the cold returned in your absence. You took a couple steps back and waved. “Get home safe!” You said with a smile. He waved back and nodded before turning about-face and heading towards the street. 

✦ You knocked on the van door before opening it. “God, you took so long with that guy. You think he’s cute or something?” One of your members said as you climbed in. You hadn’t really thought about it, you took a second to process it. He had red eyes that you’ve never seen before, his hair was fluffy, bangs were cute, he was visibly nervous, and he had that little mole under his lip. “Maybe.” You wondered if he would actually show up at your next gig in the city. You had heard it so many times before, part of you hoped it would be different this time. You couldn’t tell if it was because you wanted a fan to stay for once or if what you really wanted was to see Tomura again. 

✦ He sat on the subway and swiped through the videos and pictures of you he had taken. He was still in awe of you. He admired your lyrics, loved the passion you emitted when you performed, and the sound of your laugh made him feel something he hadn’t felt before. But most of all, he was enamored by the way you looked at him. The way you smiled at him as you sang, the way you scanned the crowd to find him with the setlist in your hands. The little look of excitement when you saw him in line. The way your face seemingly lit up when you spoke his name. Your words played on repeat in his head. 

✦ When he got home he couldn’t help, despite how tired he was, but hop on his pc and look you up. He saw that your band’s instagram had already posted crowd photos of the night, he clicked through and stopped when he saw one with him in it. A photographer had caught the moment you handed him the setlist. Immediately he set it as his desktop photo, tracing your image with a finger on his monitor. He pulled out his phone and checked your instagram. A smile grew on his lips as he saw you had posted that picture on your story. He took note that you had drawn a heart over the photo, you drew one on the center of the photo, right where he just so happened to be. 

✦ He felt a tinge in his chest, it felt nice to have his feelings validated. He opened up your band’s website and made sure to buy all your merch, he streamed all your music and promoted you however he could. He loved you and as far as he was convinced you loved him too. He opened up a ticketing app to see if he could get a ticket to another stop of the tour to see you. He frowned when he saw that every stop was sold out. 

✦ He pulled up the tour poster to see which date was the last one you were doing then headed to a reseller site. He didn’t care about the price, he was seeing you again. Once he confirmed his purchase he created a countdown on his desktop. Tomura leaned back and it hit him how tired he was. He didn’t even bother to shower, partially because of the aforementioned tiredness, but mostly because he wanted your fragrance to stay on him as long as possible. Tomura settled into bed and thought about the two of you together, hoping it would help him dream of you.

Rent?! No one ever talks about rent. Tell me rent things.

AUGHHHH RENT!!!!

i went to watch it at the stratford festival like three days ago!!!

(press for better quality)

I LOVE RENT! FROM SO MANY PERSPECTIVES! IT TALKS ABOUT THE AIDS CRISIS AND TRANS PEOPLE AND GAY PEOPLE AND DEATH AND GRIEF AND HOMELESSNESS AND SO MANY IMPORTANT TOPICS IN JUST ONE MUSICAL

keep reading if you want to see my theatre nerd side, i basically swoon over set design, backstage, lights, model choices, etc.

AS SOMEONE WHO LOVES THEATRE PRODUCTION A LOT MORE THAN ACTING, THE STAGE THEY USED TO CONVEY THIS MUSICAL HAS SO MUCH AS WELL!

LIGHTS, SOUND, PROPS AND MANAGEMENT OF SPACE WENT SO WELL AT THE FESTIVAL THEATRE!

its something called a thrust stage at the festival theatre, which is different than your usual type of stage, aka the proscenium stage. the thrust stage thrusts to the centre of the room, making it so that you can watch the play from all angles, and not specifically need to get centre, front row seats. you can see with the second photo below that even the people at the edge get an interesting perspective.

the actors and designers also have a fun time with thrust stages! you have to act with your entire body, as all pov seats can watch you, and designers have to be careful about props and use space wisely, especially since its a much smaller space than your usual, and theres no curtains meaning that scene changes have to be imaginative as well.

as you can see with the photo i took, i did in fact get centre front seats, only because a huge tour group backed out last seconds and my mom was able to snag the tickets.

(i actually watched it twice! first time at the festival was with the theatre group where i was looking at all the lights and cues and analyzing shit, but second time was bc my siblings wanted to watch it live and i could sit back and enjoy the show, looking at some things i wanted to rewatch that other campers had talked about that i missed (the first photo i took of the stage is from camp, on the balcony, while the second is the most recent and from in front of the stage))

from theatre camp, i also got the absolute privlage to get a tour of the festival theatre, and watch a changeover. since the festival theatre goes through multiple plays a day (richard III for a matinee, rent as a night show just as an example) they change the entire set.

i dont care about shakespeare, so were here to talk about the changeover to rent. they expanded the stage and made it much denser material, since people will be dancing on it, and changed the sudden drop to stairs, so the actors wouldnt trip on stage or while dancing. they also added that small platform to the centre of the stage, and did so much with it!

at first, that small platform was used as mark and rogers apartment, and there were metaphorical walls that everyone could see. even though collins was standing RIGHT NEXT TO THEM, he wasnt on the platform and was looking upwards, while mark was looking downwards, signalling they were on different floors.

for the 'la vie boheme' dance scene, they used it as a huge table to seat all the people around it, on the ground. they simly laid a cloth on the edges to make it a table, and the audience could take it as a table.

there was also a trapdoor in the centre of that thing, so for one musical number involving rogers and mimi, they were brought up, being the centre of attention while everyone else danced around them. it also became a small table for one scene.

the next thing the trapdoor did. it went down under the stage, where angel would climb onto it, and 'today 4 u' song, she rose out onto the stage in a puff of smoke and a badass christmas fit!!! so cool!

trapdoor was then used as a makeshift bed for angel, where collins helped her lie as she died of aids. they covered her with a huge cloth, which each of the group threw in and yelled 'im done!' and walked away, leaving collins still clutching it with angel underneath, the trapdoor going inwards as her grave.

let me tell you. they transitioned so well. the trapdoor went back into the trap room, where collins would also let go of the cloth and got it to sink into the hole. id assume the actor got out, the people down there would take the cloth, and while everyone on stage was doing the funeral scene, the people down there would put angels bucket with a bouquet inside and place it on the trapdoor.

theyd then let the trap back up onto stage, replacing the cloth and angel with her bucket and a bouquet in it. that made me sob the first time i saw it. holy shit.

now, away from the sad stuff and back to set design.

if you look at the photo, you can see windows in the backgrounds. they look like normal windows, until you look closer to see silhouettes in them. men and woman.

those were used A LOT to convey the scene. i cant remember the orders, but the main examples that stuck out to me:

for the 'tango maureen', the windows lit up red and you could see the people a lot better, which implies all the people shes slept with/cheated with

when they got together for the aids meeting, the windows lit up in rainbow colours to signify all the people who suffer to aids and the general lgbtq colours

when they were talking about homeless people with benny, the lights shone in different cold hues, showing all the people in tent city and how they must be freezing in the winter

'rent' the song, the windows were flashing with the song, and when the power got cut, all the lights went out except a faint blue from the lights above so the audience could still somewhat see what was happening

sound. all the cast used mics, id guess that the chorus would trade mics based on who had huge lines. before it started, you could hear general city sounds, cars, beeping, general business that you would get from new york that i found a bit cool. i think you can tell im not that passionate about sound.

alright, what else? costumes. costumes, costumes. I LOVED ANGELS FITS. HOLY FUCK, HER NEW YEARS EVE DRESS WAS SORTA TRANSPARENT BUT HAD A RAINBOW SHIMMER TO IT?! I LOVED IT SO MUCHHHHH AAAAAAAAA other than that i have little to no things about costumes... they were all wearing basic fits that were usual for the 80's, all sorts of hip-hop, t-shirts, jeans, your usual.

found some from the web! first photo is that outfit i scream about up there, and the second is her coming out of the trapdoor for 'today 4 u'!!!

okok now actors... I MET THE GUY WHO PLAYED COLLINS FOR THIS SEASON AT THE FESTIVAL!!! or, me and my entire theatre production camp did. we all got autographs, and got to speak to him bc we waited for everyone else to leave the theatre before we could go as a group, so all the actors had the time to change out of things and stuff. it turns out that someone he knew died of aids not too long ago, so his reaction to angel's death is pretty spot-on. he was so cool! the name's Lee Siegel if you wanted to look more into that.

last thing (i think). at the end, after an amazing scene where the cloth used on angel to lower her down the trapdoor was used to present all the little clips mark got over the year they all had together, angel came out of the centre door draped in this blanket, which all the cast would lay onto the stage.

and everything would go to applause.

in all, rent is amazing! <3 especially after watching tick tick boom!

(sorry for ranting i love theatre (realised i should probably save this to talk about in drama class when school starts...))

[lizzypuppet1711]

things about toronto’s production of the great comet at crow’s theatre/musical stage co that i need everyone to know about because i am obsessed with this show.

as of writing i have seen this show five times.

very long under the cut:

full cast listed here. at time of writing, donna garner replaces louise pitre as marya, tyler pearse replaces lawrence libor as dolokhov, and ben carlson replaces marcus nance as andrey/bolkonsky. currently i’ve seen the og cast four times and the replacements once.

the stage is set up with seats on three out of four sides, with front rows at tables, back of house left and right sides at barstools, and a small balcony with some seats on house right. there are balconies on either side, with a revolving platform in the middle of the stage (revolving by being pushed by cast members or stagehands). seats around 200 people or so.

the actors are EVERYWHERE. it is so incredibly immersive

the music is very punchy

during prologue, everyone is taking shots as they’re introduced, except dolokhov, who drinks straight from the bottle and sprays it into the air

i’m a dolokhov girlie through and through and once he nodded hello at me during the prologue and i legit swooned

mary is walking around holding a program showing off the family tree, actors will point to them on tables etc

once anatole pointed at his face on it, pointed to himself, all in a very flirty manner

he winked at me during prologue once and i’m still thinking about it

evan buliung is acting his ass off as pierre

he is definitely is more gruff and acting focused (think dave malloy over josh groban)

at “hours at my screen”, pierre takes an audience member’s phone (from one of the tables… or once out of someone’s hands LMAO) and mimes tapping, scrolling through it etc

two stagehands move things on and offstage (such as the sofa, church props etc) and they are also in little costumes. it’s very adorable

dolokhov’s little soldier walk thing??? during moscow????? i’m sure there’s a reason for it bc both of them do it but i have no clue why it’s there???? love it tho

heeyun park as mary is also acting her damn heart out

private and intimate life has a faster tempo and is SUCH a banger as a result

an audience member gets briefly pulled up on the platform to be the cheap french thing, he typically kisses up their arm, hugs them, and sometimes sits on their lap a bit

pierre is playing the tambourine in the background during natasha and bolkonskys and it is honestly kind of funny

hailey gillis plays natasha very emotional and headstrong. her no one else has a sense of urgency, desperation, and deep longing

the platform is spinning and people are walking around and she is singing like an angel…

basically i want to be hailey gillis when i grow up

actors are rotating the platform during no one else and it ends with andrey standing behind her and pierre standing in front of her. no one talk to me i’m losing it

as the run has continued, dolokhov’s adlibs during his intro in the opera have increased drastically

lawrence libor as dolokhov had such an air and presence (rizz?) about himself i cannot DESCRIBE. the comphet he gave me… i miss him v much. he was also very much giving toronto mans. and he made SO MUCH eye contact. he loves to look at you. i miss him. i need him. who said that

tumblr theatre girlies you would go insane over lawrence libor. if this show had ANY b roll footage i know i would be seeing edits all over the place

i am president of the lawrence libor fan club and everyone should join me

tyler pearse as dolokhov has heavy frat boy energy. he is also gayer, and somehow, sluttier. gives short king energy despite only being an inch shorter than lawrence (apparently)??? don’t ask bc i don’t know either he just does. anyway thank u tyler pearse for making dolokhov bisexual for real

either way dolokhov is doing SO MUCH in this production. he is wild he is a whirling dervish he is arrogant he is a bastard he is everything to me

“YEAH BABEY LETS GOOOOOOO” -lawrence libor as dolokhov, upon his entrance

in one performance he would go YEAH BABEY three separate times in act 1. yeahh

flirting with a girl in the balcony, dabbing up a guy in the balcony, generally being hilarious

and tyler pearse leaning over the balcony, rose in his mouth, wolf howling… i can’t.

basically i can’t with this production’s dolokhov. i’m obsessed

anatole’s entrance… he’s a whore. all i can say

rita dottor (ensemble) does the high soprano bravooooooo and she always sounds so fantastic. live laugh love rita dottor

george krissa, who plays anatole, is probably the most attractive man in ontario. like if you googled hot guy he would be the first result.

“where did they find this anatole. was he made in a lab or something. he was perfect” — my friend after seeing it

tumblr theatre girlies you would also be obsessed with george krissa. like jeremy jordan andrew rannells level obsessed. please love these toronto actors with me

i’d let him ruin my life ANY DAY. it is a fact that lesbians love george krissa. i hope he knows

the way he plays it… my friend described it like “lucas steele is like an alien david bowie, and george krissa is a bridgerton man. just a very charismatic, but normal, guy”

while i would say that lucas steele’s anatole believes he is truly in love with natasha, i would not say the same for george krissa’s. some of the manipulation happening here during the opera is. quite clear

when he is entering the box natasha struggles to open her fan, fans herself frantically, under the arms etc. then when he enters immediately shifts to fanning in a cool and collected manner. hailey gillis master of comedy

“we are speaking of most ordinary things” is especially like. this is a male manipulator if i’ve ever seen one

natasha lost was added back in!! fantastic obviously

anatole checking his hair in the mirror before waking pierre up. fucker

“look dolokhov’s coming around… and we’re off to the CLEURB”

brendan wall (ensemble) walking around during the club scene with a glowstick necklace on is peak comedy to me

i’ve said it but tyler’s dolokhov is an absolute slut at this scene. and for what AND FOR WHAT!!!!

also fun tidbit but all the glasses (other than shots) and any clear bottles have real liquid in them. i am very concerned something will spill one day

when dolokhov gets right up in the audience’s face during “known only to his intimates” i LOVE it idk

during the duel, marya and rita steal off to house left directly beside the barstools and chatter about how bad of an idea this is, they’re so drunk, etc

special shout out to divine’s “he will kill you STOOPID HUSBAND” so good

dolokhov’s adlibs during the duel… i need him. sorry

dolokhov gets shot in the side rather than his shoulder, and unceremoniously rolls off the platform as it’s moving. looks painful

hélène screams when dolokhov is shot but not pierre. so much to think about here

a life changing dust and ashes from evan. i can’t describe anything more just that he’s incredible. i’ve learned so much about acting just by watching him a few times

natasha’s face at “am i guilty…” breaks my heart she is so tormented

we are canadians we are going to pronounce our french correctly! no more charmantay

hélène has started adding some very fun runs into charming as the run has gone on. divine brown marry me

anatole is shirtless during charming. btw.

again i know he’s gay and i’m gay but.

the entirety of this rendition of the ball has been stuck in my head since december

his “don’t lower your eyes i love you” that whole section is delicious i want to eat his voice

plus “BEWITCHING AND I LOVE YOUUU” UGHHH such an ear worm but only when it’s their voices

the choreo going on here is very nice btw

i love the way he says natalie at this part idk. it’s not overly enunciated and the vowel is just right <— vocal nerd

the kiss feels like it lasts forever

music gets very very loud at the end and you can feel it in your skin

also fun fact the house music before and after the show is orchestral but during intermission it’s electronic. bc. anatole. gah details

when marcus was still in the cast you could really hear his voice during letters and it sounded sooooo.

dolokhov’s stupid little thumbs up to indicate he will be ok. pleaseee. i laughed i did

generally lawrence would grab at the place he was shot at a lot; while pushing the revolve etc. loved that detail. (tyler does too but less so)

sonya and natasha just sounds so great. like they just always sound fantastic i love that song

sonya alone. yes i am weeping. yes camille eanga-selenge is everything i want to be and more. she’s phenomenal

dolokhov sitting in a big fuckin chair at the beginning of preparations just absolutely clearly regretting every decision he’s made to facilitate this. is great.

i know i keep talking abt lawrence libor but the image of him at this part is just. really great. to me. sorry

very campy and exaggerated scowling and grimacing from anatole

dolokhov is so sick of anatole’s shit

“here feel how it beats” is NOT entertained he pushes him back immediately

lawrence dolokhov’s “dawdling” business was him tuning his guitar i miss musician dolokhov sooooo much gah

balaga truly does not sing any of his lines. he is basically yelling the entire time. i don’t know how he does it. it’s chaotic and hilarious and so fun

sonya and mary hand out the egg shakers on house right and left respectfully

near the end of balaga, four audience members are brought up to dance with the cast! (i got to dance with mary once!)

dolokhov writhing on the floor during anatole’s long held note thank u

during the goodbye section, anatole comes around to said audience members and interacts with them; dancing with them, booping them on the nose etc, and at “kiss me one last time”, invites a lucky audience member to kiss his cheek. (this once, was me. yup. still processing it.)

once he accidentally knocked someone’s egg shaker from their hand, dolokhov picked it up, laughed, gave it a shake, and handed it back, and yes i’m still thinking about it

when they sit down, balaga and dolokhov will sit on the house right stairs, though once there was an empty seat nearby so dolokhov wedged his way in between two people, guitar and all. so fucking good

anatole will squeeze himself between two audience members on house left, put an arm around each, and look around at everyone sitting in that area, out into the audience, etc. if one is going to make eye contact with him, it is now

once he threw his head back to look at the people behind him, and someone, at the speed of light, took their phone out and snapped a picture of his upside down head. i scream laughed

lawrence’s BETRAYED BETRAYEDDDD was sooooo good. so so so good

hailey gillis is an absolute powerhouse during in my house

usually when “natasha’s whole body shook” she falls to the ground silently but last time i went she YELLED and i gasped so loud

at “i have refused him” louise would go NO in shock and i FREAK OUT ABOUT IT.

and i loved her “what then? would that be alright???”

“NATASHA CRIED OUT! GO AWAY! GO AWAY YOU ALL HATE AND DESPISE ME” sounds SO FUCKING GOOD!!! I LOVE YOU HAILEY GILLIS

when the call to pierre music starts i always get goosebumps

the fight choreo when pierre grabs anatole by the collar is very good

if we’re comparing to broadway, it feels less like anatole’s life is in danger here but like i’m not upset about it

at this point anatole does not seem sad or upset to me more just. pissed off that it didn’t go his way. like annoyed

as anatole leaves during pierre and anatole the staging has him stepping around/over natasha as she is choking from the arsenic and it is such a. show of his shallowness

his petersburg note is fantastic obviously. live laugh love george krissa

marcus nance (andrey) has such a deep and beautiful legit singing voice. it’s sooo gorgeous. any word that raises against marcus nance will fall.

I MISS HIMMMM ok sorry.

i am more sympathetic to ben carlson’s andrey, however. marcus was Incredibly stoic ben has a bit more emotion to him i think

i could swear sometimes hailey is actually crying during pierre and natasha

her “pytor kirillovich” sounds so tiny and fragile ugh my heart breaks

and his “…pierre” is so assuring AUGHH

it’s such a beautiful scene obviously. i love the two of them so damn much i hope only good things happen to them forever

“it was clear and cold” also. chills EVERY TIME

“having traced its parabola” and “like an arrow piercing the earth” hit me so hard i cannot explain

genuinely evan buliung gives the most effective inspiring fantastic mind blowing performance i maybe have ever seen on stage. he is such an incredible actor and he inspires me beyond belief

the end when the lights get really really bright and then fade out. god. so simple and so fucking beautiful

now this post is very long. thank u for reading it all if you did! (will update after seeing it more times if there’s things to say!!)

if you’re anywhere near toronto i BEG of you to go see it!! it’s closing march 24th :(( so if you get the chance i deeply implore you. beg borrow or steal a ticket just get there! best comet production ever in my biased opinion :)

[heyftinally]

Swifties do love setting Taylor up.

Just what I saw on Twitter Yesterday:

1989 is a pop Bible that everybody knows. - Well if it's trash maybe.

Reputation is hip hop ??? - What?

Reputation is goth Rock ?? - Lol

That Reputation is also supposed to be R&nB - like where?? wtf?

And her new album the Treacherous Dead Poets Default is an album with a new sound.

Or this yt lady on tt that was claiming that no other artists has transcended genres as successfully as taylor did. 😭 And she mentions Rock? Girl where? And literally there are tons of artists who did it way better than her.

Or that one video which they have now deleted bc taylor was getting dragged. It was a video of her just walking on stage and singing (not live) and the caption was like: I can't believe she was doing that for the first time. ' - Some small part of me does feel sorry for these delusional fanbase. Cause she has the highest grossing tour right now. Big emphasis on right now cause that record is not forever. Anyways they can not post much about her performance anywhere without people using it to drag her. Cause let's face it. She can't perform. She's not serving. She's giving nothing. Her dancers slay more than she does.

Pffffft Taylor went from pop country to pop and never changed again. Slightly different vibes? Sure. Still pop. She wouldn't know rock if it smacked her in the head.

Missy Elliott is hip hop. Early P!nk (ie Most Girls) is R&B. Sumo Cyco is goth rock (+ others, but still). Taylor Swift wouldn't touch any of those genres with a 10ft pole, and quite frankly she'd suck at them if she tried lol.

She doesn't "transcend genres", and considering she can't even make different versions of pop sound good, I think we know why.

And no, she can't perform. Let me flex my expertise here: I'm a trained dancer. Specifically with 26 years of training in tap, jazz, ballet, theater, and contemporary, with additional training in commercial/street jazz (aka music video and tour choreography) and various other styles in sporadic classes. I've literally been choreographing since I was about seven years old, and have been analyzing commercial choreography since I was 15.

That said,

Her performances are not only weak, but they show me that her tour choreographer either

Doesn't exist and she created all of her own "dancing" herself

Doesn't know how to adapt choreography for someone with virtually no dance technique

Actively has something out for Taylor and is trying to make her look bad

I'm going to reference "Look What You Made Me Do" from the Eras tour, because that's the most recent and clearest to illustrate my point

A video of the performance in question, for reference.

Okay, first off, right off the bat, her hand floating on her hip looks awkward and uncomfortable. It's giving "over-excited 8yo at recital". For someone with as much experience as she has performing, I'd expect her to look more settled in her beginning pose. She looks like she's overthinking, and thus it looks under rehearsed.

Then we have that flexed hand - yes it's a nit pick, but that pose belongs very few places outside of a 6yo's tap dance.

Movibg on, her robotic movements look messy as fuck. Sharp isolations like that are HARD. A lot of dancers with years of training struggle with getting the kind of sharpness you would expect to see from that choreography. And on the scale of a stadium like she's in, everything is amplified. If it's messy, it's going to look five times as messy as it might on a smaller scale, because the further away the audience is, the more detail gets lost. So you're movements need to be SHARP in order to translate to the audience. Add to that that this is clearly filmed professionally/intentionally, and it really just looks unprofessional/poorly planned.

Meanwhile the things like the "don't like you" scolding (besides looking childish) are so small that you wouldn't see them beyond the front row. When you're choreographing even for a normal stage, the #1 rule is make everything BIG and intentional. If you're kicking, you're hitting AT LEAST a 45° angle, and with the force of trying to kick the winning soccer (football) goal. Taylor doesn't do that. Those movements are small, sad, and weak, and it honestly looks lazy. I know a 10yo currently doing a competitive dance solo to this song, and I shit you not that 10yo is 50x more interesting to watch perform than Taylor.

So yeah, her music has been one note since Fearless one note (uninspired pop), and her "stage presence" is about on par with an 8yo who doesn't want to be here.

in a heartbeat [part 1]

part 2 part 3

Summary: When your best friend, Eddie, is down a bassist in his band, Robin Buckley joins to fill in. You immediately find yourself drawn to her on and off stage.

Word Count: 2,613 

A/N: I am so excited about this new series!! a new part will be posted each Wednesday. This takes place in the 90s bc i want to use a song that came out in 92 lol everything else is canon compliant though. As usual, likes, reblogs, and feedback are much appreciated!

CW: swearing, alcohol, weed

“This fucking sucks,” Eddie groaned as he sat down at the head of the table in the Hellfire Club meeting room. 

You and Eddie always came before the other club members to set up, partially because it was a time where you could catch up with your best friend one on one, but it was mostly because the other members never wanted to help set up. Still, you cherished the alone time with your best friend, especially since he started hanging out with Steve Harrington’s group. 

“What’s wrong, Eddison?” You teased as you fished through Eddie’s bag for his dice set. 

“You know I hate when you call me that,” He grumbled before continuing, “Scott just told me that his family is  moving out of Hawkins like next week. Corroded Coffin is down a bassist now!” He plopped his head down on the table with a gentle thump and enclosed his head in his hands. 

You took your hand out of his bag and sat beside him. 

“You have to know someone who can replace him, even temporarily.” You thought for a moment, “What about that girl from band that’s in Harrington’s group? She’s gotta have some musical knowledge.” 

His head snapped up from the table, “I totally forgot that Buckley plays bass! y/l/n you’re a genius!” 

He pressed a quick, affectionate kiss to your forehead, not an uncommon gesture for him, but it made you feel special nonetheless. 

You chuckled and shrugged, “I kinda pulled that one outta my ass because I vaguely remember you telling me that Steve hung out with someone from band, but I’ll take the genius title.” 

Eddie rolled his eyes and shoved your shoulder playfully as he got up from his chair.  

“Come on, y/n/n the little freaks will be here any second. Let’s get set up.” 

****

About a week later, you headed to The Hideout for Corroded Coffin’s usual Saturday gig. You were always there for Eddie, cheering him on from the front row. The place smelled of bitter alcohol and smoke, the aroma only getting stronger as more people filed into the dingy dive bar. You looked around, noting that the turnout was one of the best you’d ever seen for one of Eddie’s shows. 

You felt someone squeeze in beside you as the lights dimmed slightly and the members of Corroded Coffin filled out. Immediately, a lanky, short haired, sandy blonde girl caught your eye as she picked up her bass, slinging it around her neck. Your mouth went dry as she tilted her head side to side to stretch out her neck. 

You were snapped out of your trance when Eddie introduced the band and announced the first song. Throughout the entire set, you stared at the bassist, who you knew as Buckley or Buck from your conversations with Eddie. You watched as her fingers expertly strummed and swooned as she propped a foot up on the amp and tilted her head back as she played. 

When their allotted time was up, Eddie closed out the night by thanking the crowd, reintroducing the band, and running off stage. You knew the drill after spending countless nights in the tiny bar. Eddie would come get you and bring you to the greenroom after chugging a bunch of water and debriefing the band. You knew the way backstage and could find the greenroom yourself, having been taken back there almost every weekend, but you liked your little ritual with Eddie, so you always waited. 

“Hey y/l/n,” Eddie smirked upon realizing that he startled you, “How’d you like the show?” 

You pretended to think about your answer as you linked your arm with his and began walking, “Fine, I guess,” You shrugged, “That Eddie dude could use some improvement, though. You should really talk to him about that.” 

“Yeah, yeah,” He flicked your nose with an affectionate roll of his eyes, “You think you’re so funny, don’t ya?” 

You rounded the familiar corner into the greenroom and whatever snarky retort you had planned died in your throat upon seeing her. The pretty bassist sat on the couch beside Gareth, engrossed in a conversation with him and a group of 3 others. 

“She’s heeere!” Eddie called out as he plopped down on the empty loveseat. 

You shyly took a seat in the spot beside him, knowing their eyes were on you; her eyes were on you. 

“Steve Harrington,” The brunette boy introduced himself with a warm smile as he shook your hand, “Eddie talks so much about you. It’s good to finally put a face to the name.” 

You nodded and watched as Eddie blushed at the mention of his name from Steve’s lips. You’d be sure to tease him about that later. 

“Robin!” The bassist piped up much too enthusiastically, a pretty pink blush rising to her cheeks, “Robin Buckley, the new bassist. I wish Eddie told us how pretty his best friend was. Maybe I’d have asked him to bring you around more. N-not that I wouldn’t be happy to meet you if you weren’t pretty… though I’m sure it would be impossible for you to not…be pretty…” Robin averted her eyes and trained them on her Doc Martens. 

Eddie mentioned that Buckley was a rambler, but what he didn’t mention was how adorable it was when she talked so fast that her cheeks turned pink, hiding the freckles that were peppered over her nose, cheeks, and forehead. She was even more beautiful up close. It intimidated you, even after it was clear that was embarrassed by her outburst. 

“Eddie didn’t tell me you were this pretty, either.” You giggled, “He’s kind of useless like that sometimes.” You joked as an attempt to coax a smile out of her. 

She beamed at you, her eyes shining, even in the dim light of the small greenroom. 

“Hey, don’t you two start gangin’ up on me now,” Eddie warned, “You’ll be kicked outta the greenroom,” He smirked, pointing a lazy finger at you.

“Oh, come on Eddison,”  You smiled innocently at him, “you know you couldn’t kick me out, no matter how much I tease you. You’d never break an after show ritual.” 

“Eddison?” Robin asked with a chuckle. 

“Huh, I always thought your full name was Edward.” Steve said, mostly to himself. 

Eddie threw you a dirty look that you returned with a dramatic bat of your eyelashes. 

“Because it is!” He snapped, obviously having to correct everyone that’s heard you call him the nickname he hated. 

You couldn’t hold back your laugh, which spurred on Robin, Steve, Gareth, Jeff, and Steve and Robin’s other two friends. 

The group of you spent about another hour in the greenroom, messing around. You were introduced to Jonathan and Nancy and invited back to Steve’s for an afterparty. 

That's how you ended up in the front seat of Eddie’s van as he drove through the rich part of town in his clunky vehicle. Neither you or Eddie came from such backgrounds, nor did you usually hang out with people who did, so you looked out the window at the large houses and bright green yards in awe. Eddie, however, wasn’t phased. You assumed that he’d hung out at Steve’s place a number of times since he started hanging with his group. 

“So,” Eddie started, obviously about to say something to get on your nerves, “we gonna talk about your crush on Buckley?” 

You scoffed unconvincingly, “I don’t have a crush on Robin, Eddie. I’ve meet her once.” 

“Maybe so, but you stared at her the entire show and you called her pretty in the greenroom,” He smirked, knowing he caught you, “So fess up, y/l/n.” 

“Ugh, fine,” You relented, “But you’re no better. What about your crush on Steve?” 

Eddie shot you a warning look, but you knew better than to back off. That was how you and Eddie worked. You loved eachother, but relentlessly pushed each other’s buttons. It was your love language. 

“I saw the way you blushed every time he said your name and when he complimented your playing and singing tonight,” You watched as he blushed again, training his eyes on the road in front of him and gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles, “So fess up, Munson,” You echoed his words back to him. 

Lucky for him, you had arrived at Steve’s house and the van pulled into the driveway before he could answer. You’d bring it up again, though. He knew you wouldn’t drop it until he at least admitted to his attraction to the man. 

Eddie led you through the back gate, where the rest of the group sat by the pool, smoking joints and taking shots. Their laughter could be heard even before you reached the gate. As you walked through the gate, Robin bounded up to you a bright smile splitting her lips at the sight of you. 

“y/n! Can I get you a drink?”

You nodded, breaking away from Eddie when she took your hand and led you to the folding table that held all the alcohol. You looked behind you as your best friend threw himself down in the lawn chair beside Steve and took the joint that the other man was holding out to him. You shook your head at the pair of them before turning back to Robin, who was holding a plastic shot glass filled with clear liquid out to you. You didn’t question what was inside before throwing it back. You lingered by the alcohol table for a minute as you mixed yourself a drink. 

Robin stood beside you, her shoulder brushing yours as you reached out for various bottles on the table. You had to say something. Her close proximity and the silence that accompanied the two of you was making you nervous. 

“You played really well tonight,” You complimented as you mixed the contents of your drink together, “Never would have thought that it was your first show.” 

The blonde blushed, starting the walk back to her spot on the patio couch and plopped down on the loveseat, retrieving her drink that sat on the side table, “Thank you,” She patted the spot beside her, gesturing for you to sit, “I was so nervous. Eddie said that you usually mess up when you play your first show.” 

You took a seat beside her and took a sip of your drink, “Well, if you did mess up, I wasn’t able to tell.” 

She blushed and tried to hide it by sipping her own drink. 

“So, how’d you meet Eddie?” She asked, clearly trying to shift the attention off of her. 

“Hellfire,” You stated plainly, “and we’re neighbors.” 

The alcohol in your system gave you the courage to scoot closer to her. 

Before she could respond, Steve and Eddie interrupted. 

“What are you girls doing all the way over there?” Steve called out, “Come sit!” 

The two of you looked at each other, neither of you really wanting to move. 

“Come on!” Eddie urged, “The weed’s over here!” 

You sighed and stood up. Robin followed suit and offered her hand for you hold as you crossed the yard. You assumed that the alcohol made her bolder, as well. 

The rest of the night was spent sitting shoulder to shoulder with Robin on a lawn chair beside Steve as the group of you talked. You shared a joint with her and found out that she was the giggly type when she was high, but you didn’t mind. Her raspy laugh filled your chest with warmth, especially when you were the one to draw it out of her. 

You noticed Eddie and Steve subtly flirting as well. Your best friend abandoned his lawn chair to share one with Steve and once they were seated together, they were extremely touchy. Hands on knees, shoulders brushing, knees touching, and playful shoves confirmed your suspicions, even if Eddie hadn’t. 

Towards the end of the night, when everyone was drunk, high, and sleepy, Robin’s head dropped to your shoulder. You froze mid sip, but she didn’t seem to notice. 

“Looks like Rob’s gonna be out cold in a few minutes,” Steve chuckled, “Maybe we should all head to bed.” 

You nodded as Robin lifted her head for a brief moment with a single, “Yes, please,” before her head fell back down again. 

“I could share with Eddie, you know if there aren’t enough rooms for everyone.” You offered, mostly to avoid having to share a bed with the beautiful bassist beside you. 

“Oh,” Steve said, clearly disappointed, “Yeah, okay. I’ll share with Robin, then.” 

It was unspoken that Nancy and Jonathan would share, as well. 

“Hey, y/n,” Eddie said standing up, “can I talk to you a second?” 

You allowed him to pull you across the yard, far enough to be out of earshot.

“Why are you being a cockblock right now?” 

“What do you mean?” You chuckled. 

“I was gonna share with Steve,” He pouted, “Share with Buckley. Please?” 

“So you admit you have a crush on Steve Harrington, then?” You smirked, not about to give in until he admitted what you already knew. 

“If it’ll get you to share a damn bed with Robin, then yeah. I admit it.” He rolled his eyes at you. 

You thought about it for a minute. If you freaked out that much about robin putting her head on your shoulder, you definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep in the same bed as her. You loved Eddie and wanted things to work out with him and Steve, but you knew you’d make a fool of yourself if you had to share a bed with the very girl you were trying to impress all night. 

“I don’t know…” 

“I know you don’t want to because you’re scared of Robin. Just… share with her, get laid. It’ll do ya some good.”  He patted your shoulder twice before turning back to the group and announcing the change in sleeping arrangements. 

A few minutes later, you’d changed into one of Steve’s Hawkins High t-shirts and brushed your teeth. You’d done everything except actually get in bed. 

“I could sleep on the floor if you’d be more comfortable,” Robin offered from her spot in the bed. 

“N-no I’ll be okay,” You reassured and slipped under the covers, making sure to leave a fair amount of space between you and the girl beside you. 

You flicked the lamp on your bedside table off, covering the room in darkness, before laying down completely. Minutes of silence passed and you were sure that Robin was asleep, until she quietly spoke up. 

“I had fun with you tonight,” She admitted quietly, “You should come around and hang with the group more often, o-or you and I could just hang out together…” 

You nodded, although she couldn’t see it in the darkness of the small guest room, “I’d love to hang out with you, Robin.” 

“Cool.”

An awkward silence passed over the room for a minute. 

“Well uh, dingus and I have work tomorrow morning so I should probably…” Robin trailed off. 

“Right, right, yeah. Goodnight, Robin.” 

“Goodnight, y/n.” 

You turned away from her, laying on your side. She was asleep before you, her soft snores filling the room as you anxiously stayed awake, hyperaware of her presence in the bed beside you. She had scooted closer to you in your sleep, her legs not quite touching yours, but her warmth could still be felt. 

You finally fell into a peaceful sleep about an hour later, when your tiredness won over the swirling thoughts in your head. You were already hopeless.

- [ ] okay so kacchan doesn’t really seem like the guy to follow many idol groups at all, he seems like this rough and tough rock and roll listener right?!?

- [ ] nah he loves that bubblegum music shit, something about it makes him want to bust a fuckin move lmao

- [ ] your group is very cutesy and also hero themed

- [ ] your personal lightstick color is orange and you are the main dancer of the group!!

- [ ] you were in the general course and performed in an idol group formed by the business course to see how to manage a talent group

- [ ] your debut performance was at the school festival your first year, an hour after class 1-a’s performance

- [ ] you were nervous since you saw how hyped the crowd was for their performance, but all your group members made you feel better and promised to give it their all and make people dance and smile !!

- [ ] your debut was a success !! when your group was taking their bows you noticed a certain blonde in the audience looking kinda blown away by your performance, but only if you tilted your head a little and squinted

- [ ] he didn’t want anyone that dragged him to this cutesy shit know that he was actually a fan of it !!

- [ ] he grumbled “good job” under his breath towards the stage before walking out of the building to go to the other events with his classmates

- [ ] years down the line you were part of another successful idol group in the same company as one of your friends who was also in the ua idol group

- [ ] the way you met dynamight again was , definitely something…

- [ ] he was so pissed off at the fact that he had to drop off something for deku’s partner, that he didn’t notice that there was someone walking in his direction

- [ ] he will learn every single dance, and he’ll do them even better than you sometimes

- [ ] will invite you to hero galas and award shows with him , not even trying to hide your relationship, he thinks hiding is for stupid nerds

- [ ] he’s your biggest fan ever, always being in the front row and yelling the fan chants as loud as possible whenever he can come to your performances

- [ ] always boasts about you online to his fans, and has gotten into whole arguments online about you with people who say that you’re only with him for publicity

- [ ] (which was never the case, you two eventually bonded after seeing him around all the time)

- [ ] ^^he always would come around saying that he had something to deliver for izuku’s person but really he just needed an excuse to see you when you weren’t busy

- [ ] he’d buy you your favorite drinks and send over you favorite food even though your agency had you on a stupid little diet

- [ ] “ahh who gives a fuck about what those idiots online say about your body, just as long as you can do your dance moves and can look good doing it that’s all that matters, eat your damn food !! stay fuckin’ healthy you idiot”

[idiot-mushroom]

i dont have much in the way of parent stories, but there's one that still sticks with me. i was playing music out loud on a family roadtrip a couple years ago, and there were two songs i played in particular, in a row, that i really really liked at the time but mom did Not. the first one she wanted me to skip (which i did) and the second one i just remember we hit the bridge and she was like "TURN IT OFF" or smth (not mad, v stressed sounding tho) and i still cant play music in front of other ppl irl without it being a transactional thing where they're showing me Their music too. like i Cant make myself vulnerable like that unless theyre exposed too.

(the songs were burning pile by mother mother and bruno is orange by hop along btw. mom didnt like the vibe of burning pile or the bridge of bruno is orange. which tbh is understandable and knowing her as someone whos lived with her for 17 nearly 18 years i know that it was not ooc for her at all to be upset by those songs) (but it still sucks)

and it was funny bc it was such a noticeable 180 in my behavior. i Shut Down during that roadtrip and everyone noticed that i wasnt playing my music anymore. mom and dad Both noticed that after that i stopped playing my music out loud and started listening with headphones all the time. i still stop my music when my roommate walks into the room. earlier this year i told mom about it and she didnt even Remember it. ah well thats life i guess

yeah shit like that happens smtimes, cool songs tho, you seem to have good music taste 👍

[taylorswiftstylequestions]

Noah anon here! 1st I want to thank the other anon who said they’d recently been to a show of his & that it was a blast—that person got me more excited, in the way that happens when you’re going to a show with friends, so I really appreciated that :)

They were right, it was indeed! I’ve been to concerts alone before, but it was the city I wasn’t used to that was making me uneasy, but I ended up being lucky that my hotel was the only one within walking distance so I didn’t mess with parking lots!

Back to the show! 1) the artist on his playlist before he comes onstage was Lorde 2) he mentioned that he loves Phoebe Bridgers & his #1 collab that he’s never done would be with boygenius and 3) the song after the show is over is “22”, so we can see Noah has ✨taste✨

He & his band put on a phenomenal show. I’d never been to an amphitheater show before, but I loved it. I’m shocked how close I was without being in the pit. I was closer to him in my front row “lower bowl” seat than the only Taylor show I sat on the floor in row M. It was wild. His voice live is truly special, and well controlled. The places he chose to cut both the music & his singing, to allow the audience to sing gave me chills, especially during “Orange Juice”. He didn’t play “Paul Revere” or “Call Your Mom”, 2 of my tippy top favorites, bc he swapped them for “Maine” & “Shape of My Shadow”—I was def disappointed at first when I realized, bc I relate so heavily to those 2. But when I saw the masses of other people who clearly related to those songs, especially “Shape of My Shadow”, I got choked up & teary in a good way. I’m glad he’s giving representation to a different kind of eating disorder that’s not usually talked about in mainstream media. I’ve personally never heard a hetero, cis-male speak of it, so I can hold a tiny, compartmentalized box of disappointment for me, while being hugely glad and genuinely happy for the others who got to hear their special song. Everyone deserves it.

It made me think how amazing it would’ve been to see Taylor at this point in her career bc I’m an acoustic girlie at heart, and the choreographed shows are fun, but if I had to give up those shows forever for only acoustic, with talking to the audience between songs? Easy choice for me, but I do know it’s not all about me.

I thought of TSSers several times throughout the night because I wouldn’t have had that experience without this space, & I’m so grateful for Sarah & TSSers. Thank you 💚💚💚

Thank you so much for this rundown. I'm so glad you had an incredible time! We were all thinking of you too and so so happy you had a BLAST. 💚

Seeing REO Speedwagon and Styx ON THE SAME NIGHT- Part 1

Firstly this was at the Allentown fairgrounds, and it was the opening night of the fair, so it was CROWDED. I was 5th row which was a major disappointment to me personally bc I'm ALWAYS at the barrier for every show I'm at. I bought these tickets over 6 months ago, so much has happened since then, and the night has finally arrived...

When Rachel and I got to the fair we walked around for a short time until I saw an alley that looked like it led to the grandstands/concert area. I swore I heard music coming from there, so I let it draw me in and just kept walking towards it

It was Music Man. REO Speedwagon was soundchecking. We stood there and watched their soundcheck from afar

I went to search where the busses were JUST IN CASE i was able to give Kevin and Tommy prints of their portraits

^^I called this my Mission or The Mission. But in order to not get my hopes up, my prime directive was: Go to this concert and try everything you can to take whatever you can get under the circumstances you are given.

I stayed true to this Mission right until the very end, so in that sense, the Mission was completed.

I was so excited before REO came on i almost cried. The sky looked so beautiful and you could just FEEL something in the air

they were playing music on the speakers and then suddenly the song cut, and Allentown by Billy Joel started playing, signifying that they were about to come on, and that something you could feel in the air only got STRONGER

I tried going up to the barrier when REO first came out but only front row ppl were allowed to do that so I got turned away by security

should point out i was not exactly within pick-throwing range- like picks went over me but all in all it wasn't an ideal spot for that

I stg i was the only one dancing and jumping

BRUCETHAN ELIZABETH HALL. I had him WHIPPED the whole set. It started with him looking at me probably during the first or second song and nodding at me and smiling and it just rolled from there

The last (and only other time) I saw REO i was right in front of Dave the entire time and I had him whipped too so it was only right that I had Bruce this time

I'd be makin hearts and blowing kisses n shit and he'd laugh and smile and nod at me

At one point early on in their set he was at the back of the stage in between songs and I saw him looking in my direction, so I just kinda fluttered my fingers sheepishly at him and the MOTHERFUCKER COPIED ME SROGNSOGNIDFGIAENTIH i LOVE HIM

during Keep On Loving You- JUST like last time when Dave was singing it to me- BRUCE WAS SINGING IT TO ME AT THE PEAK OF THE SONG YHGFPHFGMHRISRYSM HE STUCK HIS TONGUE OUT AT ME I STG I NEED TO FIND A VIDEO OF IT

I was also being stupid and trying to hold up my prints at the end of the set int he hOPES someone would see it

Bruce definitely saw the Kevin portrait but idk if he could actually TELL what it was

unfortunately Bruce was the only person whose attention i got in REO this time

Kevin saying how Rick Springfield is the best guy to go to for beauty advice

Kevin's patriotism is a little alarming as always soigneorginaergonr he always makes this speech before Golden Country that's like very pro-nationalism yet talks about achieving peace and then plays Golden Country- the most radical song out there- and it's all very confusing tprthrprtkdtdthtsptjh

REO's setlist was short :( they cut out at least 3 songs because they weren't the "headliner" i guess... they didn't play That Ain't Love, Building the Bridge, Keep the Fire Burnin', or even Music Man ?!? they soundchecked with Music Man but they didn't play it ?!!?!? all those songs have been in all their recent setlists so i was disappointed in that

Derek (the replacement for Neal) is also phenomenal

the sky behind them (there were like nylon curtains at the back of the stage instead of a wall bc it's the fairgrounds) looked hEAVENLY- it looked like they were playing iN THE SKY

I cried a bit during their set ngl bc I was just like I Love REO Speedwagon So Much They Are Part Of My DNA

but all in all nothing will EVER top that very first time I saw them. That was my very first concert and it set my expectations EXTREMELY too high for every single concert I go to now

EDIT: they always pay tribute to Gary and when they did that, Bruce put a hand over his heart and looked up at the sky and i think that's when i cried

A/N: I haven't posted on this acc in so long but I was reading Eddie Munson fics as one does and felt the immense need for domestic fluff with Eddie so this is what I threw up idk if anyone is even gonna like this also sorry if the format is weird I wrote this on desktop(unedited)

Eddie Munson x Reader

Life with Eddie after he graduates and all the upside down stuff is resolved. (tried to keep as gender neutral as possible)

Warnings: disgusting domestic fluff, showering together ig

Eddie finally graduated high school two months after a battle with the demo bats and defeating Vecna and you were so unbelievably proud of him.

Chrissy’s death was blamed on a drug over dose and the other deaths were deemed freak accidents but you guys knew the truth and tried to honor Chrissy in your own ways

Word got out about Jason rampaging around town and threatening and beating up innocent people and he was arrested and thrown in jail overnight until his parents bailed him out but after people weren't so hell bent on tormenting Eddie

All of the Hellfire club showed up to cheer on Eddie as he walked up on stage and ‘snatched’ his diploma and then you all ditched diploma in hand to get food and celebrate the end of Eddie’s high school career

After graduation you got away from your shitty parents and moved in with Eddie which uncle Wayne was more than pleased to hear as you were like a child to him and kept Eddie out of trouble for the most part.

A week after graduation Eddie decided to finally get a steady job that wasn't dealing drugs so he got a job at the local diner 

Eddie wanted nothing more in life then to wake up to you every day and he knew you guys couldn't live with uncle Wayne forever so he did the early mornings and almost 40 hours a week while playing dnd and practicing and performing with corroded coffin on the weekends while spending his nights and afternoons with you.

So every morning your alarm went of at 5am about the same time Wayne got home and Eddie woke up to your arms wrapped around him and your legs tangled together 

lay in bed for a few minutes before gently coaxing you awake so you could eat breakfast together before your early shift at the cafe in town and his at the diner.

Monday trough Friday you would wake up with him admire his pretty face and study his tattoos and then you guys would listen to music as you put his hair in two French braids for work (imagine how fucking pretty he would look!!) because he refused to wear a hairnet

Eddie would drop you off at work and then come pick you up when both of got off at 2pm the short drive back to the trailer was full of complaining about the shitty customers you both had to deal with only to arrive home to shower together, get half dressed and lay around together until you decided wether to make dinner or order take out.

after 6 months of the same routine you guys had enough money to get your own little apartment furnishing it with found and cheap second hand furniture but you loved it all the same it was your own safe haven together 

A few months later Eddie was offered a better job with less hours and higher pay so every Friday he would preform with corroded coffin with you in the front row cheering them on

Eddie was happier than he'd ever been and even bought a ring and kept it in the glove box of his van waiting for the perfect moment to properly ask you to spend the rest of your lives together 

I'm now brain dead and didn't know what else to write so this is the end ig anyway this was entirely self serving bc I had a thought of Eddie with his hair in braids wearing an apron and then I wrote all of this from this one thought

finally got back home ik this joke is getting old but thankfully sara didn’t also want to stop the buses today because i would’ve been stuck in tampere otherwise and i finally have time to watch umk so i decided to write down some thoughts from the whole experience

- tampere as a host city was perfect. we didn’t have time to do anything before the event but the whole city looked so beautiful in purple light

- we arrived there at 7pm i think and there was almost no line to the floor seats, but the third floor was jam-packed with ppl bc all the activities and restaurants were there

- when we went to check our seats, they didn’t exist 🤠 we asked a staff member about it and they were like yeah we had to move your seats due to safety reasons, but you can pick a seat from this row that’s multiple rows back from your original seat. i’m now in the process of figuring out if our new seats were from a section with lower-priced tickets because if they were, i don’t really think sitting on the same row as some important people really made for the value lost

- the pre-show was great! the dance performance was good and we had so much fun singing along to all the songs they were playing while waiting for the actual show to start

- ylivoimainen/hoida mut mashup was indeed very kuumaa 🔥ylivoimainen was my most played song ever on spotify until a certain slovenian band took over and i love that they brought them back

- kuori mua. the song itself is fun and it really grew on me before umk, but sini was not the strongest singer that night and the staging was not my taste. wig snatched though

- dancing with demons. i liked this song, but idk why it feels so dated to me. susanna is a great vocalist though!

- glow. we were instructed to put our flashlights on for this song. this is a song that would’ve done better at melodifestivalen. it’s a bop and the most danceable out of all the songs and could become a huge hit this summer

- vox populi. i had mixed feelings about this one. i like it as a song, it’s catchy and i love nublu’s voice, but something in it feels a bit off. also the staging just wasn’t working.

- paskana. this reminded me too much of tattoo. she did give a great performance and she’s a very good singer, though pitchy at some points. deserved the jury points though.

- mania. the one that surprised me the most! the staging looked good live and even though he’s not the strongest singer of this year’s artists, his live vocals still surprised me in a good way.

- no rules. when they brought in the jegg and hung up the jorts, i didn’t know what to expect, but this was definitely not it. i didn’t like the song when it first came out, but the performance itself made it the best song that night and it deserved the win.

- the yle app didn’t even let me in when i wanted to vote :(

- pilvi’s performance. i’m not even exaggerating when i say that we just stood there with our mouths open for like half the song because we couldn’t believe we were witnessing such a bop. i’d heard pilvi sing before because she actually starred in a musical in my hometown before she became well known but i didn’t remember she was that good

- katri helena is a legend ❤️ ngl hittiputki has ruined me because i was just waiting for someone to sing señorita por favor after that 💀

- when they started announcing the international jury votes there was suddenly a huge camera right in front of us and at that point we realized that the people who sat next to us were the ones announcing the spanish and swedish votes (btw thobias seems so sweet! he was so excited when they announced the winner!). i was also worried that the camera would block my view from seeing joker out giving the points but luckily they went away for that 😂

- ruoska!!! it’s a banger and worked well on stage. at the end of this häärijä walked right in front of us wrapped in something dark and i didn’t even notice it before my friend was like omg was that häärijä 😂

- cha cha cha! loved seeing all of the dancers and it looked amazing on stage with the pyros and the lights and it actually got me kinda emotional

- the results were kinda surprising, but not really. i didn’t even think of windows95man as a contender for the win before that day, but hearing how much the audience cheered for him just when he was entering the green room before the show was kinda telling

- the afterparty was nice, imo there were too many people but what can you do when suddenly all of finland loves eurovision. there was music and some of the artists came to sing for us, we saw the winners and keira from last year!

- there were so many youtubers and influencers and other celebs i feel like everywhere i looked there was someone whose face i recognized

- at one point we went to the bathroom and just when i closed the door i heard the words mi bomo celo noč plesali and immediately ran back to the dancefloor by myself 😂

all in all it was a great event! me and my friend had so much fun and there was lots to do and see. hope to be there next year too :)

#now that umk has been wrapped i can finally go back to posting about my fave slovenes #umk24 #umk #personal
