Summary: Our lovely reader and her clever best friend have gotten their hands on tickets to the nearby BTS world tour concert, which had seemed impossible thanks to scalpers and jacked upped prices. Now, preparing to meet her beloved artists, she faces dealing with insecurities, anxiety, and a hell of a lot of just-plain-scared-out-her-mind.

This journey will follow her as she meets the boys of BTS and surprisingly catches their attention by means of her tattoo work, bright and shiny on her best friend's shoulder.

Warnings: none so far

Part 1 Part 2

“Hey there, darlin,” came the sly laugh from behind me.

“Hey, Smurf,” I responded, sniggering down at the copy machine as I made the 50000th copy of the day.

My coworker and partner-in-crime, Sarah, or “Smurf” as I affectionately named her, leaned against the Beast of a machine to my right, crossing her arms and feigning a nonchalant sigh of boredom.

It had been a long day. A ghastly week. In some ways, it mirrored the movie “Office Space” with the same monotonous routine, over and over and over again. The same managers droning on and on about better customer care and faster call times and working as a team, blah blah blah. Us worker bees of course just side-eyed each other with subtle rolling of the eyes, knowing we had to devote time to each individual customer to fix the problems, which meant longer call times. Which, of course, upper management just didn’t seem to get and completely ignored.

All in all, it was just another week, stuffed into another month, dragged into another year in this slightly stifling office job in the middle of the midwest, surrounded by cornfields and cringey political signs. Honestly, my only saving grace was the few tattoo gigs that popped up every now and again. Usually the loyal clientele that needed a touch up or new artwork done. I was a favorite at the only tat shop in the little town and was allowed to pick my hours. Nice, right?

Smurf huffed out another sigh, this one edging on annoyed, and I huffed one back at her.

“Whatchu want, Smurfs? I’m trying to get His Majesty’s sheets done before closing time.” His Majesty was none other than the Big Boss’ son, slave driver and all around mysoginistic jackass. He really enjoyed giving out the lesser jobs to his more feminine employees. Seemed to get a kick out of lording his authority over them. I swear, he was born in the wrong decade.

“I knooooow,” Smurf grinned, studying her acrylic nails as she swayed her curvy hips in place.

Taking my eyes from the Beast and rolling them in my bestie’s direction, I copied her stance and leaned against the wall behind me. “Smurfs, it's Friday,” I whined. “We’re almost outta here. Why you buggin’ me?”

Smurf finally let her inner demon glee shift her mouth into a huge grin and looked up at me. “So,” she spoke in a bored voice, betraying the utter joy evident all over her face, “You know The Concert That Shall Not Be Named?”

I stiffened. Of course. She HAD to mention the damned concert. Of all the gigs in all the world she had to bring me down with this shit.

I was an ARMY, through and through. Lover of all things BTS, a solid fan, albeit for only half a year, I had been taken into the massive group of fans by a random tiktok that played a piece of their animated music video, “We Are Bulletproof: Eternal”. The vocals, the harmonies, the lyrics, the beautiful artistry, and their incredible dedication to their fans all smacked me right in the face. And I knew it. I was hooked.

Of course, living in the midwest meant I had to show my love from afar. I lived too far away from any concert venue and was way too poor to travel to any shows in the neighboring states. But it was ok, I didn’t allow that to dampen my adoration. The boys were hardworking, dedicated, talented people and I absolutely admired their commitment to their craft and their followers. Honestly, I had never witnessed such love for the fans in any other musicians, never seen the power the fans hold acknowledged in such a precious way. Their humble hearts and minds continued to surprise and endear me with every new song and episode of their shows discovered.

However, the Impossible had happened. On their newest world tour, the PR team announced several new locations to their travel venue. And my heart had nearly lept out of my chest when I realized the boys were coming to the Big City merely an hour away from my little town.

Smurf had called me, nearly in tears, wailing that the tickets were already sold out and the scalpers were selling the hacked tickets for 4 times the original price. It was a Dark Day for us midwestern poor ARMYs. There were many mourning candles lit.

Hah, not really. But Smurf and I were happy for those who could attend, and continued to live our humdrum lives, secretly vibrating in excitement to have the boys in close proximity to us in just a few months.

And now, my traitor of a best smurf, decided to remind me of this damned concert. Right as I was about to declare freedom and make a run for the exit. I already had my weekend planned. Bubble bath, pineapple rum, stuffed crust pizza, the new Dr. Strange movie….

I glared daggers at my friend-turned-traitor. “You dare to mention said concert? On this, the day of my cat’s quinceañera??”

Smurf burst out laughing at the mention of our favorite cat meme. After a moment, she quickly returned to her former stance and glared back at me.

“Be prepared for your life to change, bitch.”

“What the fuck are you on about?” I laughed, clueless to her ramblings.

“I. Got. Tickets.”

My heart stopped.

“I’m sorry, I just hallucinated. What?”

Smurf huffed and dropped her hands, gripping my shoulders. “I. Got. Tickets. To see the babies. Our boys. The fine ass brigade. The glorious hip thrusters, the—”

“SMURF, YOU WHAT??”

My slightly unprofessional shriek in the middle of the large room filled with small cubicles and people readying for the weekend caused a sudden silence.

Ducking low, avoiding eye contact with anyone in the vicinity, I grabbed Smurf by the elbow and dragged her into the nearest conference room.

Tossing her dumb ass at the massive table, I slammed the door shut and stood staring at her, chest heaving.

“You, what… how??” My brain refused to believe anything that was said in the last 5 minutes.

Smurf placed her hands together in prayer form and giggled maniacally. “I got tickets. To the BTS concert. The one close by,” she gasped out.

My brain reeled, trying to imagine how this dirt poor office worker could manage to afford thousands of dollars worth of scalped tickets.

“Smurf, did you take your meds today?” I asked cautiously and slowly.

“Oh pfft,” she replied, waving her hand in the air as if to shove that very important inquiry aside. “You remember back in the day when they would give away tickets on the radio?”

“Oh. Yeah, sure. But… how the hell would they manage the phone lines for a BTS concert?” I pondered, imagining millions of phone calls bombarding a poor haggard DJ.

“See, that’s the thing. My uncle has connections, right? And it was a private giveaway. Apparently for certain… members of his club.”

I… did not even want to delve into that information. The infamous uncle of a supposedly… shifty background was also something we never really discussed. Even with some of the seedier clients that passed through my tattoo shop, we really tried to avoid dipping our toes in that area of the underworld. It was just acknowledged and then put aside.

“So… you called in.”

“I called in.”

“And won tickets.”

“Won front row tickets.”

I blanked, jaw hitting the floor. Front row… the ones that cost tens of thousands….. Holy fuck.

After my brain came back online, cue the AOL start up noises, I blinked several times and closed my mouth.

“....How many tickets did you get?” I asked in a very tiny voice, my brain starting to vibrate with the smallest of hope.

“Bitch, I got 2. Two mothafuckin tickets to see mothafuckin BTS!!!”

We both screamed and batted our hands at each other like absolute twelve year olds, shrieking and jumping around and losing our ever loving minds.

Suddenly, reality came crashing down. In the form of His Majesty himself.

“Uh, girls?” he shouted, head peeking in through the open doorway.

We immediately froze and turned, smoothing down our skirts and hair (damn dress codes).

“I believe it's a bit early for a sexy pajama party,” he sneered, laughing at his joke like the arrogant ass he is.

Smurf and I laughed weakly and nodded, apologizing for making such a ruckus.

“Now, get your butts back to finishing up the week, we aren’t paying you overtime. I’ve got a table at Delgado’s with my name on it.” He winked disgustingly and slipped his oily self back out into the beehive/workroom.

Smurf grimaced and gagged. “Ugh, woe be the woman who got snagged into that date.”

“Mmhmm,” I mindlessly agreed, my hindbrain going over every single detail of every single thing that we need to do to get ready for this experience of a lifetime.

Huffing and shaking off that creepy encounter, Smurf wrapped her arm around my shoulders and dragged me back out into the work room, shoving me at the copy machine.

“Alright, babes, finish up, we got planning to do, this shit is going down next weekend!!”

My heart skipped a beat and I gripped the Beast in shock. One week. Holy hell, the concert is in one week. I need a drink. I need a Xanax. I need a fucking horse tranquilizer.

All silly fangirling aside, my soul shivered in happiness, goosebumps spreading all down my skin. I would have the chance to watch these boys perform right in front of me. I will have the chance to witness their talent and voices and silly goofing and see the adoration in their eyes as they serenade their beloved ARMY.

I will have the absolute honor of witnessing the most acclaimed group of musicians perform on stage.

And I was absolutely panicked.

4, 20, 22 :)

4. favorite thing to draw

vb au my absolute beloved <3 but more generally i love drawing characters interacting? super vague way to describe it but like... idk just trying to showcase the dynamics between characters?

20. a piece from this year that you’re really proud of

there are so many to choose from already this year! here are a few:

sleeping santana

furtana family bonding trip

corset vest!kurt

santanaverse

vb au uht glow up

the fact that they are all vb au is genuinely a coincidence aksdjfh but i guess that just goes to show how much i love that au

22. what inspires you

a lot of things! i think u know this more than anyone mist, since you put up with a lot of my thoughts on a very regular basis :)

i think music is a big one. i've drawn a couple of stuff directly inspired by songs/performances, but i also really enjoy trying to capture the feelings that certain songs give me! like i channeled at last by etta james for the diner!brittana, i have a vb au furtana playlist that i listen to when i draw them bc those songs perfectly encapsulate the dynamic i picture for them, and in general i try to put on playlists that match the mood of whatever i'm drawing. not to mention the stuff like musicals, tv shows, and movies that inspire some of my aus.

the other thing is just like... everyday life? lil experiences, memories and feelings that pop up and that i want to capture, yknow? part of why vb au in particular is so vibrant and full of energy is bc vb was a highlight of my high school experience, orchestra au happened bc i was watching an orchestra concert and i found myself missing the time in my life where i did play musical instruments regularly and i wondered what it would be like if i hadn't dropped them, i put a lot of effort into the forest for that furtana camping trip art bc i love walking around in nature, kurt with a basket of fruit literally just happened bc my art history class talked about that painting for a bit and i thought it was cool, the santana glee advent drawing is based on a painting i made in high school, which in turn was based on a lot of the conflicting thoughts and feelings i was dealing with at the time.

idk what to say about the cursed aus lmao. i blame u and fellow tumblr user fettuccinecaterpillar for spongeblaine bc i genuinely had not thought of that, and unfortunately i have no one but myself to blame for shruck (except maybe you for encouraging me every time i pitch bad ideas?)

idk i guess what i'm trying to say is that i get inspiration from many different aspects of life? it's fun to think of these lil mundane things and then translate them into bigger moments in art form, or to sprinkle in lil feelings that mean so much to me. i think it helps me cherish every single artwork i make, even if i may not love the final result, yknow? not to mention seeing so much incredible art from other artists that i admire... it really pushes me to continue creating my own stuff too!

art ask game :)

#ask md #mist <3 #ask games #art asks #im so sorry i started rambling i hope it all makes sense

Do I consider the Glee concert movie as canon? Yes.

Do I just say this so I have an excuse to rewatch it for the article I’m writing? Maybe.

#glee concert movie my beloved #my dad got me it on DVD for my birthday because he wanted an excuse to watch it #glee #I spent the whole time complaining that Chris didn’t have enough solos #Kurt Hummel my beloved #chris colfer is god #and then the warblers has their section and I showed off my unnecessary knowledge of all of their names #and the spent the entire rest of it complaining about the fact Wes wasn’t there (which stressed me out more than it should’ve)#this is a Wesley Montgomery stan account #wes warbler my beloved #he’s the side character I picked for the next couple of months to care about too much

Star Wars: In Concert “A New Hope” Review!

Bobby Roberts attended Star Wars: In Concert’s performance of “A New Hope” in Portland and shared his night at the theater with us.

The first thing that jumps out at you is the size of the screen, really.

You’d think it’d be that you’re at the symphony at all, with all this ornate decoration surrounding you—everything all fancy-schmancy and super-expensive and quietly intimidating—a sense of opulence hanging over your shoulders like a thin blue haze of privilege and smoke from decades back, when people were still allowed to do that indoors. But no, the immediate jolt upon entering the concert hall is the size of the screen suspended directly over the orchestra. Looming, really. A pop-culture behemoth imposing itself on highbrow tastes.

And then you go up the stairs and the gold-trimmed, curli-cued extravagance is cut through with the smell of cookies and pretzels, and echoing in the hallways behind you is the happy burbling of a venue filling up with excited families, and the tinny electronic sound of toy lightsabers sparking to life. And suddenly that giant rectangle, the words “Star” and “Wars” big as life and holding a spot for the landmark film that’s about to be thrown upon it, fits perfectly.

Star Wars: In Concert is a nationally touring concert series featuring live performances of John Williams’ full 1977 score timed (almost) perfectly to picture. Every performance is unique, and if you were a motivated fanatic of the Maestro’s work (and also unfathomably rich) you could follow the tour like some sort of film score Band-Aid enjoying the myriad variations on orchestral genius as each city’s symphony brings the score to life in their own unique way.

In Portland, the 70+ piece orchestra (featuring a violinist wearing Leia buns), conducted by Carlos Kalmar (rocking some bright red sneakers he put through a workout while hopping and bouncing through the performance) filled the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall with some of the most beloved film music ever written, starting with the 20th Century Fox fanfare hitting the crowd like a tiny surprise. The Fox logo illuminated the screen shortly afterwards to a rolling cheer that didn’t let up until the 2nd paragraph of the scroll cleared the top of the screen, and just like that, the Schnitz became the best movie theater Portland’s ever had.

Star Wars: In Concert is a transformative movie-going experience. Muted lights illuminate the orchestra, shifting colors to accompany the visual and emotional tones as the film progresses. There is an intermission as the Millennium Falcon is sucked into the Death Star, and the subtitled 2011 blu-ray cut of the film has only the dialog and sound effects present.

A good percentage of the audience probably has that score memorized, and that level of familiarity can trip you up at first. Differences in performance, filtered through unfamiliar acoustics, might initially get interpreted as mistakes. And in brief, rare instances, that’s exactly what they are; my performance featured two missed transitions (which—again—not bad considering you’re asking a 70+ piece orchestra to one-take-jake Star Wars in front of a live audience). But the point of Star Wars: In Concert isn’t to bring the soundtrack in with you like a nun wielding a yardstick. Nobody—neither the audience and or the musicians—are there for a Gus Van Sant-ian Psycho-esque note-for-note recreation of music you’ve heard a million times before. The point is to see, and most importantly hear Episode IV in a way you’ll never hear it again.

It’s startling just how enveloping the music quickly becomes, and depending on the dynamics of any given scene, you can either forget there’s an orchestra providing that music right there in front of you—or be so aware of the beauty in their performance that you wish there was no dialog, sound effects, or subtitles at all. Just Gil Taylor’s imagery, the actor’s (impossibly!) young faces, and that music taking on subtle nuances only a new orchestral interpretation can reveal.

But you’ve got to be willing to go with those slight—but meaningful—changes. Star Wars: In Concert forces re-evaluation of a film you think you know front to back. Because once the music changes, so does the picture; once your brain stops keeping score against the version in your head, the textures of the film and its music begin revealing new things constantly; the lushness of the strings during “Burning Homestead,” the snarkily dismissive drop of Alec Guinness’ chin while Harrison Ford is running his yap, the crooked jank of Artoo’s dome hanging onto the barrel by a pair of wires, the guttural glee of tubas blurting out Jabba’s theme.

In the bigger moments, counterintuitive as it may sound—try to peel your eyes from the screen to watch the performers digging into the gold John Williams gave them. Even studied professionals will let go some childlike excitement at what they’re getting to do on that stage if you look at just the right moment. A percussionist animatedly bringing the Tusken attack to life, a cellist smiling as Luke and Leia go swinging across a chasm—there’s just as much joy on the stage as there is in the audience.

That joy is infectious and contagious, and by the time the last crescendo builds to a final, beautiful explosion, and the Star Wars logo bursts onto the screen one last time, I found myself—wet-eyed and grinning a mile wide—thinking a thing I’d never expected: “I believe I’m all good with this movie for a long, long time.” Because it’s not often something that familiar is utterly renewed like that. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve never had a theatrical experience with Star Wars remotely similar to it. Kalmar’s conducting of the Oregon Symphony’s performance was warmly extraordinary, immersive, and above all, transformative. And after all those years spent chasing after the nostalgia-tinted memories of my first trip to that galaxy far, far away, I have an amazing, vivid, new experience to cherish, and I think I wanna just let this version of Star Wars take up much-deserved room in my head (and my heart) and just be for awhile.

…at least, until The Empire Strikes Back: In Concert comes through town.
