Here Kitty-Kitty!
V x Nandor, though actually a majority of this is V interacting with Guillermo
Word Count: 1226
Tag List: @heavenshipped @ghostlyvenus @fangedwife @the-schizotypal-cryptid
Summary: V meets their neighbors for the first time while looking for their lost cat, Claude. Something about said neighbors is... odd. From the way they dress, to the way they act. And by the time they’ve parted ways, V can’t stop thinking about a certain someone.
Warnings: None, as far as I know. As always, never hesitate to ask me to tag specific things if I haven’t already!

“Claude!” I called out for my cat in the dead of night, searching the yard. He had gotten out before I could lock the cat door for the evening, and I had only noticed when I had finally decided to get some sleep. “Claude, I don’t have time for this!”
I shook a treat bag at some bushes, but with no luck. I felt guilty and frustrated as I shown my phone’s flashlight up and down the sidewalk. Eventually, I took a breath and ventured to the other side of the street, wary of the neighbors.
“Here kitty, kitty, kitty… surely you haven’t gotten far… gods, I hope you haven’t gotten far.”
I froze in my tracks when a door suddenly opened, having not realized I had tread into someone’s yard. I straightened up and turned toward the neighbor, reminding myself of how I looked… a baggy sweater, tiny athletic shorts, hair resembling a bird’s nest, and glasses likely slightly askew.
“Er, sorry, did I wake you up??” I asked awkwardly, “I-I lost my cat.”
I could just make out the shape of a noticeably tall man with long, wavy hair in the doorway, but other than that his features were obscured by shadows.
“Cat, you say?” He asked in an accented voice after an extended beat of embarrassing silence. “What does it look like?”
“White and fluffy. He doesn’t have his collar on him since he was inside but he responds to the name Claude, most of the time.”
“Nandor, who in the blue blazes are you talking to??” Another voice came from inside the house.
“Our neighbor! They’ve lost their cat.” The man named Nandor turned back to me after calling over his shoulder. “Would you like to come in? It’s late. I’m sure you’re disoriented, and I have a few housemates. We could work together to find your precious…”
“Claude.” I finished for him before hesitantly approaching the steps. “I…”
I was cut off by a rumble of distant thunder.
“Sounds like a storm…” Nandor hummed, glancing toward the sky.
“I better come in.”
The man stepped aside and I entered the large home, closing the door behind me. I sighed, putting my phone in my pocket and running a hand through my hair. “This is all my fault…”
Nandor led me into a cozy lounge where a few others sat. In the warm glow of antique lamps, I realized how… eccentrically my neighbors dressed. Yet, it was incredibly familiar, considering my own tastes. I smiled a little.
“Didn’t know I was living across the street from other goths…?” I ventured, not wanting to offend them if it was another alternative subculture but it was the first thing that came to mind. “We should hang out sometime. Outside of trying to find my cat, that is, heh.”
My words gained no comment and I stood awkwardly beside Nandor.
“Guillermo!” His sudden call made me jump slightly. “Go get our guest something to drink while I discuss with Nadja and Lazslo about how we shall find their kitty-cat.”
“O-oh, okay,” a chubby man stood and guided me down a hallway, “c’mon. What’s your name?”
“I’m V.”
“V, are you a virgin?”
I stopped in my tracks, blushing furiously. “Th. That’s none of your business, what the fuck??” If I was only half-awake before, I was certainly well aware of myself now.
“Forget I said anything,” Guillermo showed me to a mini-fridge. I shook my head, bewildered. Maybe I heard him wrong??? He opened the fridge. “Let’s see, we’ve got water.”
He paused. There wasn’t much else in there. He closed the fridge. “Or I have a stash of lavender tea in my room.”
“Tea sounds great,” I told him as I heard the faint patters of a storm beginning. I frowned, thinking aloud; “I hope Claude finds some place dry if we can’t find him…”
Guillermo led me to his room. “I’m sure he’ll be okay.”
The “room” was not much bigger than a closet, with enough room for a bed, a bedside table-dresser combo, a cabinet above the bed, and a portable stove. Guillermo retrieved a teapot, a mug, and of course the tea, from the cabinet.
“Could you go fill this up in the bathroom for me, please? It’s just down the hall and to the right.” He offered me the teapot. I took it and stumbled to the bathroom, beginning to question if entering this strange house with strange people was a good idea… but then again, I would’ve just been caught in the rain and probably given up on my search. I filled the teapot with water and returned. Guillermo set it on the portable stove and waited for it to simmer.
“You can sit down if you want to,” he gestured toward the bed. Instead, I sat on the floor, not quite comfortable with sitting on a stranger’s bed.
“I’m alright here.”
When the pot whistled, he put a teabag in the mug and poured the steaming water over it.
“Sorry I don’t have sugar or anything like that, not much room in the cabinet.”
“How’d you get stuck with a room like this??”
Guillermo simply glanced away sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. I decided not to push it, instead thanking him for the tea as I waited for it to steep. I drank in silence before Nandor called for Guillermo again and we headed back to the lounge.
“We think Claude may be on the property,” Nandor told me. My expression lit up.
“Really??”
“We heard some yowling in the backyard when lightning lit up the sky. He probably found a dry place near the shed, the roof has a bit of a lip to it.”
I turned to leave, excited to retrieve my cat, but was stopped by Nandor’s sizeable hand on my shoulder. “We should wait until it’s dry, no? Don’t want to spook your little kitty if he has found a dry spot by taking him in the rain.”
“I don’t want him to catch a cold…” I frowned, “don’t you have towels or something?”
“No.”
Something odd occurred, then. We made eye contact, and something seemed to change in the large man. “Maybe. Guillermo, grab Colin.”
Guillermo skittered off and soon returned with a rather average-looking man.
“What’s all the hubbub??” Colin asked.
“You’re going to help our neighbor retrieve their cat from our yard. Guillermo, towels.”
Guillermo skittered off again and I gave Nandor a quizzical look.
“Why do you talk to him like that??”
“Who?”
“Guillermo. Do this, do that. He’s not your servant.”
He didn’t respond, and soon we had a couple of towels to scoop Claude in. I moved on, simply wanting to grab my cat and leave by now. Myself and this Colin fellow stepped out into the pouring rain after I was lent a jacket from Guillermo, and wandered around to the back of the house. I did eventually find Claude, huddled and shaking behind the shed, as Nandor predicted. I scooped him up in a towel with Colin’s help, thanked him, and dashed back home, forgetting to return the jacket.
It was not long after this encounter that Nandor began to show up in my dreams, more and more frequently as months went on, driving me batty. What the hell was up with my neighbors?!

KENDRA – TEEN IDOL (FALL SESSION) 2
FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / FLICKR / TWITTER photo by: Roman Kajzer @FotoManiacNYC
You can see the entire session here: KENDRA – FALL SESSION
TEEN IDOL
A teen idol is a celebrity with a large teenage fan-base. Teen idols are generally young but not necessarily teenaged. Often teen idols are actors or singers, but some sports figures also have an appeal to teenagers. Some teen idols began their careers as child actors, like Leif Garrett, Lindsay Lohan, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Hilary Duff.
The idol’s popularity may be limited to teens, or may extend to all age groups. Many teen idols are targeted for adults for nostalgia purposes.
There were teen idols before there were teen magazines, but idols have always been a permanent feature in magazines such as Seventeen, 16 magazine, Tiger Beat and Right On! in the United States, and in similar magazines elsewhere. With the advent of television, teen idols were also promoted through programs such as American Bandstand, The Ed Sullivan Show, Soul Train and in the UK Top of the Pops. Today’s teen idols have spawned an entire industry of gossip magazines, television shows, YouTube, and whole television channels such as E!.
Many American teen idols achieve "cross-over" success internationally; however, this list is not limited to American artists alone with some people such as German popstar Bill Kaulitz of the pop-rock band Tokio Hotel. In Asia, idols range from Japanese pop megastars Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro as well as Kana Nishino and Japanese music groups such as Momoiro Clover Z, Morning Musume, AKB48, and Perfume and Johnny & Associates boy bands Arashi, NEWS, KAT-TUN, and Hey! Say! JUMP among others while Chinese pop icon Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai, music groups F4 and Lollipop F, and South Korean singers BoA and Rain and music groups TVXQ, 2PM, 2AM, Beast, Shinee, EXO, Super Junior, f(x), 2NE1, BIGBANG, Wonder Girls, BTS, T-ara, Kara and Girls’ Generation are examples. In Latin America, idols ranges from Mexican pop stars Thalía, Timbiriche, Lynda Thomas, Magneto, Puerto Rican born Mexican Luis Miguel, Puerto Rican singer Marc Anthony, and the very popular Puerto Rican boy band Menudo in the 1980’s and 1990’s, and Paty Cantú, Anahi, Belinda. Ha^Ash and RBD in the 2000s and 2010’s. Besides, former Menudo member Ricky Martin, their chief rivals Los Chicos and former member Chayanne, Venezuelan actor and singer Guillermo Davila and more, to Argentina, where telenovela, Chiquititas, ushered in a new era of teen-idols for that country, including actors Benjamin Rojas, Felipe Colombo, Luisana Lopilato and Camila Bordonaba, who went on to form teen band Erreway, precursors to Mexican band RBD. In Spain, La Oreja de Van Gogh, Miguel Bose, Mecano and Hombres G all enjoyed teen-idol status. Even in the classical music field, a British-Chinese violinist Vanessa-Mae became the first "teen idol" in that category.
In the past, young sports icons and Olympic athletes during their competitive times were considered teen idols such as Jean-Claude Killy, Peggy Fleming, Joe Namath, Dorothy Hamill, Mark Spitz, Jim Craig, Nadia Comăneci, Mary Lou Retton, Michael Jordan, Dominique Moceanu, Michelle Kwan, Carly Patterson, Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, Michelle Wie, Mia Hamm, Ryan Lochte, Michael Phelps, Missy Franklin, Katie Ledecky, Shaun White, Apolo Ohno, Simone Biles, Tom Daley, McKayla Maroney, and Gabby Douglas.
Early teen idols
The first known person to have been treated as a teen idol was Franz Liszt, the Hungarian pianist who, in the 1840’s, drew such a following among young women that the term "Lisztomania" soon came to describe the phenomenon. The kind of idolizing following Liszt drew in Europe would not be followed for several decades. Geraldine Farrar, American opera singer, had a large following of young women nicknamed "Gerry-flappers" in the early 20th century. Rudy Vallée, who became a major success in 1929 with hits like "Honey" and "Deep Night", may have been the first American popular singer to have been idolized by hundreds of teen-aged girls at sold-out concerts. He was also possibly the first popular singer to have a star vehicle created for him: The Vagabond Lover. Frank Sinatra, whose early career is often linked to his appeal to bobby soxers, is also regarded as having been amongst the first teen idols.
1950’s–1960’s
The great success of young rock stars like Elvis Presley and Pat Boone, film stars like Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, James Dean, Tab Hunter, and Sal Mineo in the 1950’s, as well as the wider emergence of youth subcultures, led promoters to the deliberate creation of teen idols such as singers Frankie Avalon, Fabian Forte, Frankie Lymon, and Connie Stevens. Even crooners like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra were still considered idols and rather handsome. Actors Edd Byrnes and Troy Donahue and other artists deliberately cultivated a (safer) idol image, like Paul Anka.
Anka initially modelled himself on a particular generic type, the teen idol [who] carried on the process … of changing the image of male youth … from wild to mild, by providing a cleaner, more wholesome image of masculinity than that of the previous era’s rebellious rockabilly heroes and (working-class) so-called juvenile delinquents, like those in West Side Story….
Post-war teens were able to buy relatively inexpensive phonographs — including portable models that could be carried to friends’ houses — and the new 45-rpm singles. Rock music played on 45’s became the soundtrack to the 1960’s as people bought what they heard on the radio. The great majority of the music being marketed to 1950’s teens was being written by adults, but 1960’s teens were increasingly appreciating and emulating artists closer to their own age, to teen fashion, and to lyrics which addressed their own concerns. Their parents worried about their attraction to artists (and DJs) who were edgy and rebellious. Faces on magazines fed fans; fans buy records, see films, watch TV and buy fashions.
Marketing of the teen idol generally focuses on the image…. The teen idol is structured to appeal to the pre-teen and young teen female pop audience member and children in general…. [They] are commodified in forms and images that are relatively non-threatening to this young audience and to the ancillary market of parents… The teen idol never appears to be autonomous and therefore never appears to be threatening as an adult; he remains, as long as he is popular, perpetually childlike and dependent.
Some marketers turned to film and TV for fresh, attractive, ‘safe’ faces. Tommy Sands’s debut in a television film about the phenomenon, The Idol, made a teen idol out of Sands himself. Ricky Nelson, a performer of rockabilly music, also became a teen idol through his parents’ television series, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Some young TV stars were being hustled into studios to make recordings; for example, ex-Mousketeer Annette Funicello became one of the first big female idols as well as the Lennon Sisters whom had cut out dolls and were always on the covers of the gossip magazines; another, Johnny Crawford of The Rifleman, had five Top-40 hits. In 1963, Luke Halpin made a big splash as a teen idol in the television program Flipper. After Bye Bye Birdie was released in 1963, Bobby Rydell became an instant teen idol.
In the 1960’s as situation comedies and dramas on television using child actors became more popular, actors Paul Petersen, Patty Petersen, and Shelley Fabares from The Donna Reed Show, Dwayne Hickman from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, Sally Field of Gidget, Jon Provost of Lassie, Jay North from Dennis the Menace, Billy Mumy of Lost in Space (and later of novelty group Barnes and Barnes), Sajid Khan of Maya, and Keith and Kevin Schultz known as the "Schultz Twins" on The Monroes all became younger preteen idols and grew into being teen idols.
Likewise, Tommy Steele, the Beatles with Beatlemania, the Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys were teen idols, especially during the earlier part of their careers, although they quickly grew out of that status. The Rolling Stones did it through a more rebellious image, the Beatles did it through their more developed (or "grown up") music. Similarly, Neil Sedaka had two distinct eras of his career, with about a decade in between: one as a teen idol in the 1960’s, and a later career in adult contemporary music. From the family band the Cowsills, Susan Cowsill, John Cowsill and Barry Cowsill became teen idols and were on teen magazine covers for many years. Many of the teen idols of the era were the sons of older, established stars; Dino, Desi & Billy were active as teen idols during the mid-sixties. The group included Desi Arnaz Jr (son of bandleader Desi Arnaz), Dean Paul Martin (son of singer Dean Martin), and Billy Hinsche (a mutual friend whose parents were not famous). Gary Lewis, son of comedian Jerry Lewis, fronted the Playboys during this era.
All of the Monkees became instant teen idols in the late 1960’s after their TV show became an overnight success, especially for Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones. The British born member of the Monkees Davy Jones was regularly featured in all time teen idol lists. In 2008, Yahoo Music named Jones the number one teen idol of all time, and in 2009 he was ranked second in a list compiled by Fox News. Davy Jones still to this day tends to win many number one’s and the top of the list in best teen idol contests.
Tiger Beat magazine, an influential teen music magazine, began publishing in 1965.
1970’s
After Davy Jones came Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy, who held the title of Teen Idols from the late 1960’s until the mid-1970’s. Both Sherman and Cassidy were actors on television and chart topping musicians in the pop-rock category at the time; with David Cassidy in particular enjoying immense international fame and success. Sherman was on hit TV shows Shindig! and Here Come the Brides among many others. Musical series such as Cassidy’s The Partridge Family, the animated series The Archie Show, and (to a lesser extent) The Brady Bunch integrated television and teen-pop music to significant success during this time frame. The Brady Bunch’s Barry Williams and Christopher Knight, as was tennis pro/actor Vincent Van Patten all were constantly in the fan magazines at the time. Actors Richard Thomas, Robby Benson, Peter Barton, Leif Garrett, Mark Lester, Jan-Michael Vincent, William Katt, and Jack Wild were the talk of the teenagers in the 1970’s as well. Musicians the Hudson Brothers were on many teen magazine covers for a number of years as teen idols. They had two shows on TV during the 1970’s and recorded many albums.
One of the features of many teen idols is that their fans (and, in some cases, the musicians themselves) tend to develop a distaste for the music once they became adults, and it is not much listened to by adults, except for nostalgia: the legacy of bubblegum pop. Teen idol performers in this category would include Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, the Osmond Brothers (particularly Donny Osmond and their teen idol sister Marie Osmond), Andy Gibb, Tony DeFranco of the DeFranco Family, and the Bay City Rollers. Even modern classic hits and oldies outlets, which cover this time period, rarely play cuts from the teen idols of the era. A notable exception is Michael Jackson of the Jackson Five, who began his career as a teen idol along with his brothers, but whose individual career eventually evolved far beyond the limitations of that description and into super-stardom.
The Jackson Five were the first African-American music group to become national teen idols, appearing alongside white idols in magazines such as 16 and Tiger Beat.
1980’s
In 1985 actress Alyssa Milano from Who’s The Boss became a major teen idol and was dubbed "The Teen Queen of the 1980’s. In the mid-1980’s there was a group of young actors called the Brat Pack; the whole group collectively and separately became teen idols. They were Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy. They starred in many coming-of-age films. The film that would help invent and popularize the genre was Francis Ford Coppola’s coming-of-age drama film The Outsiders (1983), which starred C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swazye, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Leif Garrett, Emilio Estevez, and Tom Cruise. The movie would receive critical acclaim, and would also become a box office success, and later a cult classic.
Actors such as Patrick Swazye, Matt Dillon, and Tom Cruise were teen idols who would later become successful A-list celebrities.
Actors Corey Feldman and Corey Haim also became teen idols during the later part of the 1980’s with films The Goonies and together The Lost Boys, Dream a Little Dream and License to Drive among other films. They were dubbed "the two Coreys". Before Corey Haim’s death in 2010, they did a reality TV show for two seasons (2007–08) on A&E named The Two Coreys after their 1980’s moniker.
Actor River Phoenix during his teen years became a teen idol during the later part of the 1980s.Phoenix’s work encompassed 24 films and television appearances, and his rise to fame led to his status as a "teen idol".On October 31, 1993, Phoenix collapsed and died of drug-induced cardiac arrest on the sidewalk outside the West Hollywood nightclub The Viper Room at the age of 23.
Australian-American singer Rick Springfield was regarded as teen idol from 1971, after releasing his solo début single "Speak to the Sky". His career matured over the next two decades with more hit songs. He gained further fame as a television series actor.
In the 1980’s, Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, caused a sensation in Latin America, nicknamed Menudomania that became compared to the Beatles’ Beatlemania.
Also painted with the Beatlemania brush was British pop group Duran Duran. Dubbed "the Fab Five", this group is recognized as pioneers in the then relatively new area of music video, that started with the Monkees in the 1960’s. Their exotic videos, such as Hungry Like the Wolf, being fixtures on cable channel MTV coupled with their exposure in teen magazines instilled them as teen idols in America and around the world though the majority of the 80’s. Another British pop band Culture Club were dubbed teen idols, with Boy George’s androgynous outfits that were copied by his teen fans and young adults alike.
At the end of the 1980’s, actor Kirk Cameron became a major teen idol teenage heartthrob. Cameron was best known for his role as Mike Seaver on the television situation comedy Growing Pains from 1985 to 1992. Also Scott Baio and Willie Aames of Charles in Charge fame found themselves regulars in teen magazines.
In popular music, the late 1980’s was the boom of teenagers dominating the music charts. Debbie Gibson became the youngest person to write, perform and produce a number-one single, "Foolish Beat", and also had many hits from her first two albums. Tiffany, another teen icon, became a pop sensation at 15 years old thanks to an aggressive marketing strategy. She promoted her debut album in shopping malls of the US. She is also the youngest person to have a debut album hit number one and have multiple number one singles from that album ("I Think We’re Alone Now" and "Could’ve Been"). Having become a household name, she had then-unknown band New Kids on the Block as an opening act for her shows. However, the sudden popularity of the New Kids caused their roles to be reversed. Gibson and Tiffany’s careers had stalled by the early 1990’s; so had NKOTB by the mid-nineties. The other boy band from Boston, New Edition was very popular with the teen set by the end of the 1980’s as well.
Madonna, was another example of teen idol and became a fashion icon between teenagers. Even, professor Joseph Straubhaar in the book Communications Media in the Information Society (1997) called a teen idol by 1992 year.
1990’s
The manufacturing of teen idols has been marketed more aggressively and with greater sophistication since the 1980’s. The rise of MTV in the 1980’s and the success of the boy bands of the 1990’s and 2000’s has continued to fuel the phenomenon. Besides a combination of good, clean-cut looks and a ubiquitous marketing campaign, such bands typically include a variety of personality types (e.g. "the shy one", "the smart one", etc.) Classic examples of "boy bands" include Menudo, New Kids on the Block, Take That, Backstreet Boys, and ‘NSYNC, all becoming the best selling pop groups of the decade. Hanson was initially marketed as such a band, but eventually outgrew this label to become a successful indie band. Female pop super star Mariah Carey, was very popular with teens in the 90’s decade. Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, and Britney Spears, along with mega girl groups the Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child, also became very popular at the end of the decade. Other notable examples from the 1990’s are female R&B singers Mýa, Aaliyah, Monica, and Brandy. After Brandy’s television show Moesha went on the air, it brought her many teen fans and she was always on the cover or in the teen magazines for many years. Brothers Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys and pop star Aaron Carter were both teen idols in their heyday, as was, to a much lesser extent, sister Leslie. Robbie Williams of boy band Take That had teen idol status as did Ricky Martin during the Latin music explosion of the late 1990’s.
Many of the major teen idols in the 1990’s were from boy bands and musical acts. One major exception was the situation comedy Home Improvement ‘s Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who appeared from 1991 to 1998, but never embraced his stardom. Another major teen idol was Freddie Prinze, Jr. who skyrocketed to teen heartthrob status after starring in successful teen horror films.
The 1997 film Titanic made Leonardo DiCaprio a teen idol; during "Leo-Mania" his face appeared on many teen magazines. Other teen idols from TV were most of the cast of Saved by the Bell, Joshua Jackson and James Van Der Beek of Dawson’s Creek, Ben Savage and Rider Strong of Boy Meets World, Joseph Gordon-Levitt of 3rd Rock From the Sun, Jonathan Brandis of seaQuest DSV, Jared Leto of My So-Called Life, Joey Lawrence of Blossom (and to a lesser extent, Joey’s brothers, Matthew and Andrew), Jason Priestley and Luke Perry of Beverly Hills, 90210 fame, and Erik Von Detten of various TGIF shows. These actors were often found on the covers and pages of teen magazines during the 1990’s as teen idols as well. Sarah Michelle Gellar was a major teen idol in the late 90’s, as a result of her lead role in the popular television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Fraternal twin sisters and TV actresses Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen were major tween idols, and as they grew up they later became teen idols during the 1990’s. After the movie Clueless, Alicia Silverstone found herself a teen idol. The comedy duo of Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are also teen idols, in which they star in the Nickelodeon sketch comedy All That, their own sitcom Kenan & Kel, and the 1997 film Good Burger. Nickelodeon also produced The Amanda Show which featured Amanda Bynes as well.
2000’s
The Walt Disney Company and its numerous outlets (e.g. Disney Channel, Radio Disney and Walt Disney Pictures) have successfully developed a new generation of teen idols. In the early 2000’s, the company developed the careers of actresses and singers Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, initially targeting youth and female teen audiences. While still teenagers, Duff became famous for her starring titular character in the Disney Channel teen sitcom Lizzie McGuire, and Lohan became famous for her starring roles in many successful teen movies, including Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Herbie: Fully Loaded, and Mean Girls. Other Nickelodeon and Disney Channel stars are also teen idols, including Jesse McCartney, Raven-Symone, Kyla Pratt, Ashley Tisdale, Vanessa Hudgens, Drake Bell, Josh Peck, Emma Roberts, Miranda Cosgrove, Miley Cyrus, Victoria Justice, Jennette McCurdy, Elizabeth Gillies and the Jonas Brothers.
In 2002, Canadian singer Avril Lavigne dominated the music scene and eventually became a worldwide teen idol. Listed at number 4 on Yahoo!’s Top 25 Teen Idols of all-time. Other teen idols are in the R&B and hip-hop realm, including JoJo, Ciara, Keke Palmer and Chris Brown.
2010’s
Disney Channel stars Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, YouTube star Becky G, and The X Factor alumni Little Mix have come to be teen idols. Ariana Grande was a popular teen actress before gaining mainstream popularity as a singer and teen idol.
In Japan, more and more "idol groups" have appeared. In Japanese culture, persons called "idols" are media personalities in their teens and early twenties who are considered particularly attractive or cute and who will, for a period ranging from several months to a few years, regularly appear in the mass media, e.g. as singers for pop groups, bit-part actors, TV personalities, models in photo spreads published in magazines, advertisements, etc. One of the most successful groups is Momoiro Clover Z. Their performances incorporate elements of ballet, gymnastics, and action movies. During 2016, about 636 thousand people attended their live concerts, which was the highest record of all female musicians in Japan. The group has been ranked as the most popular female idol group from 2013 to 2016.
Since their rise to fame in recent years, pop singer and YouTube sensation Justin Bieber, country-pop musician Taylor Swift, boy band One Direction, pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer, and girl group Fifth Harmony have become examples of modern-day mega teen idols who have achieved international success, known for their devoted teen female fans, as well as an adult fan base making them all international superstars as well as teen idols.

ship ask, WWDITS edition
@amariemelody sent me the ship ask for WWDITS on main (@lonesparkthefriendlykraken) but I’m gonna answer here:
First and last and always, my WWDITS OTP is Guillermo/Happiness!
but also I am very much on Team Get Guillermo (a) Boyfriend(s)
I love nandermo and I want it to be canon endgame and I think it could be and I wrote a whole slightly popular post about that: https://mapnerdbloodbag.tumblr.com/post/648362985548595201/lonesparkthefriendlykraken-i-want-nandermo-to
In the mean time, I am big into Guillermo/Claude. Join me! Let us put our pool noodles together and make a raft! 
I also like Guillermo/Derek,*  Claude/Derek/Guillermo, and Team Polycule: Mosquito Collectors Edition (but Derek, you gotta stop bringing that up to new people at the first meeting.) 
(Watched The Curse last night with the beloved ex-GF, and she suggested Guillermo try to recruit the Collectors as fellow bodyguards, with or without explaining that the guarded are “suckers,” & now I really want that AU! (I think this was in service of Guillermo/Sleep, another beloved OTP!))
On a similar note, Shanice/Jenna, past or future, and Guillermo/Jeremy, past or future, requited or not.
The show ppl say everyone is queer, and they don’t limit it to vampires or main chars that I’ve heard, which is just perfect for me as the target audience for that kind of thing. Like obviously a few chars like Charmaine & Sean seem straight-coded, but otherwise...
Also like Nandor & Laszlo as like, complicated BroTP w/ benefits
Interested in Nadja & Jenna’s relationship. I think it’s mostly a mentor thing, but see no reason that wouldn’t include sex, which seems to be a very important bonding ritual in vampire culture
I want someone to date a werewolf, so I am in favor of Get Guillermo a Werewolf Boyfriend, do have fic draft notes for Guillermo/Toby...
IDK if there’s a point to doing canon pairings, but I freaking love Nadja & Laszlo providing me with Dumbass Pansexual Married Ppl Rep! The show does show a lot of the relationship, but I’d still love to see past stuff. The particular fighty dramatic thing they have going on isn’t my Personal Bi/Pan Brand, but then again I don’t have eternity to avoid boredom in...
Nadja/Jeff is interesting too, especially for what it says about vampire conception of gender & souls or whatever. (+reincarnation AU things to HC or contradict...)
In AUs I can be convinced of almost any ship. It’s helpful that everyone could potentially be attracted to anyone else, with the fuzzy caveats that Guillermo Probably Isn’t Into Women and The Roommates Are Just Bros, but any of that could be overridden for pragmatic reasons or just different versions of the characters...
TL;DR: 
Everyone is Queer 
I love minor characters
Light a candle for nandermo endgame
Get Guillermo A Boyfriend
SHIP ALL THE THINGS!!!**
* (he can be miraculously fine, just like Sarai & Boromir & all my other favs)
** (I will gladly beta)

also: Nandor’s outfits, hnnnggghhh. Nandor’s hair. all the vampires’ outfits...
