Tired
warnings : mentions of mental health and negativity, feelings of depression and sadness
word count : 811
pairing : johnnie guilbert/reader (romantic)
enjoy!!! <3
Content creation could take a lot out of a person, especially when they were already struggling with their mental health. Despite the fact that it could be more flexible than a more average job, it can still provide the same, if not more, amounts of stress. Once you start a career like that, especially when it gains following and attention, you have a large internet presence, and people on the internet can be so incredibly cruel. People are more confident than ever when they are hiding behind the safety of a screen, unlikely to be revealed, and that shows in any career with a majorly online platform. 
This wasn’t to say that there weren’t a lot of positives to having a more internet focused career, like the flexible hours, and sometimes the pay is even better than any other job, if your following is big enough. And most of the time, the positives are enough to keep you going through the negative portions. However, sometimes those negative portions feel like they’re going to be the end of your career. Johnnie had been growing a large internet presence for years now, and had seen or gone through just about everything there was to see or go through. But that didn’t mean that it affected him any less, and sometimes, the fact that he had seen it before caused it to affect him more. 
Today was one of those bad days, where the negative parts had gotten to be way too much. You weren’t aware of this quite yet, due to the fact that you weren’t home yet. You were on the way home, and had no idea that Johnnie’s work day had not gone as planned. His stream had ended abruptly, you knew that, and way before it was scheduled to end, but you had chalked it up to some technical mishap or something of the sort, as that difficulty did happen every once in a while. It wasn’t often, but you knew that it wouldn’t be too out of the norm, and it wouldn’t have raised many alarm bells with his fanbase. So, you weren’t worried at all, thinking you had no reason to be as you pulled into your garage, walking into the house and calling out that you were home. 
You did become a little confused when you got no response. Johnnie always called back to you, regardless of whether he was working or not. You always came home at nearly exactly the same time, and he knew that, so whatever he had or was playing, he always had the volume down low enough so he could hear when you came in and began talking to him. Due to this, you went looking for him, gently knocking on his bedroom door when you realized it was locked. He had a key above his bedroom door, in case of any emergency, but you would never open it without his permission. You respected his privacy, and because of that, you spoke through the door, asking if he, or you, could open the door. 
Once you received his affirmation that you could open it, you reached up to grab the key from the top of the doorway, and easily unlocked the door. Walking in, your heart felt like it was breaking. The room was as dark as possible, the shades on the windows closed tightly, no lights on, not even his monitors. Your boyfriend was nearly invisible, seemingly attempting to hide under his blankets, his back to you, completely ignoring the fact that you had just walked in. You sat down on the side of the bed, softly pulling the covers back and resting a hand on his shoulder. 
“Baby, what’s going on?” 
He didn’t turn to look at you, simply shrugging. 
“Nothing. I’m fine.” 
You stayed silent for a minute, laying down next to him and throwing the covers back over you both. 
“You’re clearly not fine. But if you don’t want to talk about it, we don’t have to. Do you want a hug?” 
He immediately turned over, letting you wrap your arms around him, and your heart broke into even more pieces when you saw the tear tracks staining his makeup free cheeks. He hid his face once he realized that you had noticed how it looked, refusing to speak, and just letting you hold him. You had absolutely no problems staying there as long as he needed you to be there, and it ended up being a couple of hours. You were hugging him, reminding him that he was loved, and that you were proud of him. You were sure that he would be back to his normal self soon, but you were more than happy to help him carry the emotional weight while he was struggling. After all, that’s what you do for the people you love.

Heyy, I was thinking about a concept with Fyodor (or whoever from BSD) having a streamer bf, but like, one of -those- streamers where every word they say can be quite questionable (in a “good” way/ironically). For some reason it amuses me to imagine it with Fyodor and Reader occasionally teasing him, calling him their ‘discord kitten’ or streaming for 5 hours (or more lol) saying nonsenses or playing video games instead of paying attention to Fyodor. What do you think?
Tumblr media
“Get Off The Game ♡⁠˖” BSD x GN!Reader ੈ✩‧₊˚
╰┈➤ Fyodor Dostoevsky, Dazai Osamu
Warnings;
Description; BSD men with a streamer!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/n; these are in headcannon form, I hope that's alright!!! I think Dazai or Nikolai would be a better person to have this occupation w so I also did headcannons for one of them
Fyodor Dostoevsky ★
• Fyodor thinks it's stupid at first, but when he realized you made money from it he learned to tolerate it. He wasn't too fond of the noise, though.
• I don't think he was too fond of the nickname 'discord kitten', always raising an eyebrow when he's called that, he also strongly dislikes brainrot cause what do you mean you're so sigma? No you're not, you're y/n. That's unrelated, but I thought I'd add that in there.
• "A discord what? Kitten? What even is that? I am nothing of the such."
• Catch him dead before he makes an appearance on camera, he much prefers to keep his business private. He doesn't mind you talking about him though, he loves that. He loves that people know you're already taken by him and that all those losers in your chat don't have a chance with you.
• Sometimes he'll watch your streams from a different room in attempt to understand your work and the art of gaming. He enjoys when you play horror games, especially the ones that get you thinking. He sometimes finds your facial expressions when you get jumpscared funnier than anything else in the stream.
• When it comes to the duration of your streams, Fyodor can entertain himself for as long as you need him to, but he can't help but feel like he'd rather be spending that time with you every now and again.
• He usually just takes the time to work on his DOA stuff, and occasionally he'll get so lost in it that he doesn't even realized you've finished with your stream and on whenever that happens, you make some tea and go to fetch him to spend some quality time together, whether it's you laying in his lap while you both read a book or having a conversation about whatever comes to mind
Dazai Osamu ★
• Dazai is your #1 supporter since day one. There's a conversation going on about content creators? He's immediately bringing you up. You need new items for your set up? He's manifesting that said items go on sale ASAP!
• Oh my god, and he LOVES it when you get recognized in public. He's very prideful of you and likes that it's only him and a select group of people that get to see the real you outside of the camera frame.
• He, unlike Fyodor, does have an issue with the long hours, so he busies himself with the ADA and otherwise to keep himself from walking in and talking your ear off while you play your games for umpteen thousand people.
• He doesn't despise being called a discord kitten, but it does confuse him a little bit. But whatever, as long as you have 'my' in front of any name he doesn't care.
• Dazai watches your old streams when he's bored and can't help but giggle at the out of pocket or questionable things you say. He likes to watch the compilations of you on YouTube, too.
• Sometimes he'll quote you out of the blue.
• He doesn't like people trying to flirt with you or talk to you on the Internet as any partner wouldn't, so he is in the comment section of every post reading through individual comments. Type guy to see '❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥' comments on your posts and reply '🧯🧯🧯'
• All in all, Dazai is well received by your fanbase, especially the ones who don't try to romance you and are normal. They think he's funny and a good match for you.
Tumblr media
A/n; I hope it wasn't to short!!! I thought it was a cutsey idea, I think Nikolai would be pretty similar to Dazai in this scemario.

MORE MUTUAL BREAKUP 🙏🤲🧎‍♀️
i need a break from trying to write smut 😔
moments of u two!!
Tumblr media
a lil comp of silly scenarios, dialogue, etc. i think would apply to reader n schlatt
— — — —
a guy who asked to do a podcast interview with you obviously flirting while schlatt is sitting along side the camera man, sucking his teeth and biting his tongue, staying quiet
you ignore the flirting until you notice schlatt is getting jealous by the second and a few more flirty remarks away from punching the guy
so you do the only thing you can think of
“it’s a little cold in here” you say rubbing your arms
“really? i think it’s kinda hot” the guy says taking off his jacket about to hand it to you before schlatt sprints into action
he takes off his hoodie and hands it to you
“thank you honey” you say grabbing it and receiving a small peck from him and putting it on, completing the rest of your interview with the hoodie on, all warm and cozy in schlatt’s jacket
———
you held a volleyball tournament (very similar to the dodgeball tournament)
everyone showing up in shorts and shirts meanwhile you were in your highschool volleyball uniform, fitting you tighter in some places than it used to
everyone sees the way schlatt’s brows raise when you first arrive
everyone noticed schlatt not taking his eyes off your ass whenever you would bend over, go retrieve the ball, receiving and in general doing anything
during breaks he’ll take you into a corner when he thinks a camera can’t see and kiss you, parting with a smile and slapping your ass as you walk off with a dopey grin
———
“my favorite song right now? it’s probably that song from juno” you say smiling “here is the church and here is the steeple”
“we sure are cute for two ugly people” schlatt chimes in
“i don’t see what any one can see in anyone else but youu” you both sing smiling
“she plays it all the time, it’s so annoying” schlatt teases as you stick your tongue out at him
———
schlatt talks about you when asked or if you’re even referenced
“y/n, she is genuinely the best most incredible person i know, the way you see her on camera is the way she is in person, just that she’s softer and sweeter. I am her biggest fan, genuinely, she’s the most perfect person i know and i love being with her, not even just sex, i like being around her as a person, they make me a better person and it’s like every time i have to leave her, i feel empty. a piece of me is filled when im with her. She could ask me to get back with her in five minutes, tomorrow, fifty years in the future, i wouldn’t care, i’d get back with her in a heartbeat”
———
“my gum is out of flavor” you say looking around for a place to throw it out
“hand me it” schlatt says putting his hand out before you spit out the gum softly onto his palm, schlatt wastes no time putting it in his mouth almost immediately after causing you to look at him with wide eyes
“Schlatt! that’s disgusting”
“eh, i’ve had your tongue in my mouth before” he says blowing a bubble
———
“hello?” you ask putting your phone on speaker for the chat
“hey toots”
“oh hey schlatt”
“so, jambo has been cryin, sittin in the spot he always sat down next to you n he jus’ misses you” schlatt says sadly “i was wonderin’ if you could come over n comfort him since he jus wants his mommy” he asks softly
“yeah, i’ll be over in a few” you say before quickly ending your stream and going over to schlatt’s
“oh my poor baby jambo” you say picking up the mewing cat “you missed your mommy, didn’t you” you ask the cat softly, sitting down next to schlatt and giving jambo small kisses
eventually you fall asleep with jambo in your lap and schlatt carries you both to his bed, laying you down gently and he takes a photo
it’s his background for the next few months
———
“you got any sauce for this?” you ask schlatt as you bite into your fries before he goes into his pantry and fetches a new bottle of your favorite sauce
“schlattie” you chirp “you hate this sauce” you say opening up the bottle
“i know, i just had it left from when you lived with me” he lies
“i took the last bottle with me when i moved out” you say downwards smiling “you bought a new bottle for me”
“whatever” he huffs, knowing that you were right, he hated that stupid sauce but found your reaction to him having it adorable
———
“yeah, i’ve always wanted a surprise birthday party, but i’ve never gotten one” you say softly as schlatt makes note of it
a few months later on your birthday, you realize that very few people have said happy birthday, one of the few being schlatt
it’s a lonely day, you spend some of it alone before you get a text from schlatt at 2 pm
cat babydaddy: get ready, i’m picking you up at 5
you happily get ready, showering, shaving, everything
once he arrived he has a large bouquet of flowers, a teddy bear and a box of chocolate covered strawberries, smiling at you lovingly
“you look great toots” he says handing you your bouquet and bringing your gifts inside, you thank him with a few kisses before he tells you to hurry so you won’t be late for the reservations he made
you giggle the whole way there, holding his hand as the both of you talk before you notice that he’s going past a bunch of restaurants before he makes you put on a eye mask which you do confused
he leads you out of the car and in through some doors, gently he takes the mask off of you to reveal a beautifully decorated venue
your friends and family jumping out to yell happy birthday at you as you feel yourself tearing up, turning to schlatt with tears of joy
“don’t cry, happy birthday toots” he says wrapping an arm around you and planting a kiss on your lips
Tumblr media
lmk if u guys want some more, i gotta feed my mutual break up lovers

dating younger quackity? like 2018-2019
.✦°. • Dating younger Quackity ( ´∀`)
warnings: none^^
a/n: thank u so much for the request! This was super fun to write, took me back to 2019 when I started watching him :D either way hope you enjoy! (Sorry it took so long 😭 life’s been busy)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I feel like he’d be the type to fall in love with his best friend, or generally someone that he knows fairly well
Expect nights spent talking on the phone with him, laughing your asses off at memes and stupid games instead of doing homework
Or endless bike rides around the city, as if you didn’t do that one route million of times
Maybe even little lessons on the basics of boxing (he isn’t a very good teacher though, he’s too afraid to hurt you)
It comes naturally, his heartbeat starts to pick up every time he hears your voice, your laugh, you saying his name ugh
And you won’t stop leaving his mind, you’re always there, in every each one of his thoughts (might as well pay rent at this point)
Have you always sound this pretty?
Have you always been this pretty?
Before he knows it, he’s noticing all the little details that make you, well, YOU
He’s in love.
Fuck.
He wouldn’t know what to do about his feelings, either he ignores them and buries this secret deep into his heart, or, after a scary amount of convincing from his friends, he confronts you with the shyest demeanor you’ve ever seen him wear
Assuming this is one of his first experiences, if not the first, he would be very cautious in his actions, not sure yet about how to handle a relationship, especially if it gets more serious
He wouldn’t talk about being in a romantic relationship for a while, mostly cause he doesn’t like to share his personal life too much, especially when it comes to romance
But is there a teenage boy that doesn’t like to brag about being in a relationship?
Would mention it once, casually, you know, to be cool and all
Like “yeah I have a partner” a little smile to top it off, nothing big, just a bit of something to feel swag
Nobody believed him.
The loud boy who screamed about the president 24/7 having a partner? Yeah nice try kiddo, go back to play your stupid videogames
At some point in his young carrier he got tired about the running joke of you being an illusion
“This is what too much screen time does to a person KEKW” chat would say, haha how funny (if you hadn’t notice, he’s being sarcastic)
As frustrating as it was to battle against hundreds of people on whether HE was in a relationship or not, he’d never ask you to do anything you are uncomfortable in doing
So, even if showing up on stream would probably help with this little problem of his, he’d encourage you to actually think carefully if you want to make an appearance or not
“I do have a partner!” Alex says for what feels like the fiftieth time that evening. He should probably give up, after all who cares if chat doesn’t believe him. He knows the truth and that’s enough. Right?
WRONG.
His credibility, and his pride, are in the way. Plus is he even that bad of a catch for people to think he can’t pull?
His head falls onto his hand, resting there as he lets his thoughts run while the fast stream chat on his monitor lights up his face in various dull colors.
You were sitting on a little chair, not too far away from him, staring at something in your phone. He did feel bad for inviting you over just for him to stream an hour later, but you had always said that you didn’t mind watching him since you liked seeing him do something he enjoyed. As if he didn’t enjoy spending time with you, but fine.
So he put his insecurities aside, most of them being about you possibly not liking his streams, and provided you a chair to at least sit comfortably as he robbed you of your time by going live yet again.
It had been going fairly well: he was checking out some horrible games in Roblox, or rather he had been screaming his lungs out for an hour straight, and of course, when a random kid on Roblox asked him to be his girlfriend, chat got back on their “no relationship, you are a loser” (he knows it’s a long name, he couldn’t come up with anything better okay??) agenda.
Your hand waving in his peripheral vision brought him back from his mind: he hadn’t realized he had zoned out.
He looked at you briefly, almost feeling bad for the worried stare you were giving him. He usually doesn’t feel this defeated after an unserious bickering with chat, but to say that this all situation wasn’t playing with his self-doubts would be lying. He’s fine though, he just feels a little gloomy today.
You turn your head to the side and give him a thumps up, voicelessly asking whether he was fine or not. And he just nods, giving you a little, forced, smile before going back to the bright monitor. He doesn’t like the thought of you being concerned about this. While, admittedly, it does feel nice to have someone worried about him, Alex never quite liked to be a bother to anyone. He could handle this alone.
Then why is his head so heavy? And why does he feel without energy all of a sudden? He just needs to do what he does best: push the pain away and walk forward. But even something as easy as that sounds impossible right now.
Maybe he should end stream.
He’s too lost in his own thoughts to realize you had stood from your chair, steadily approaching his setup. When he realizes what’s going on, it’s too late.
“You don’t-“ before the frantic words can leave his mouth, you were already behind him. You cross your arms down his chest, whilst your head, resting on the top of his beanie, being high enough to not get seen by the webcam.
Many things were going trough Alex’s mind, a lot of them being about how nice it felt being hold by you, but only two words left his lips:
“Who’s got no game now, huh?”.
At that point it would go from chat not believing him to chat teasing him endlessly about him being a simp
You two could do nothing and he would still be accused of it, just because you were there
Is it true? Yeah, but it was nonetheless a bit annoying
He WOULD bully you on stream when the secret is out
Chat: “do you like (Name) or Thanos more? Don’t lie”
“Well…” he’d say, scratching his neck in faux uneasiness.
“Don’t think about it what the fuck!”.
His chat took your relationship quite well, after all the time he wasn’t famous enough to have fans being jealous and obsessing over him
Actually you became kind of an icon of his channel
And he did milk this for content but it’s not like you didn’t encourage him, quite the contrary, so expect videos like “playing Roblox with my partner” or “The best Habbo raid ever w/(Name)”
As sweet as this all can be, we haven’t forgot about his light teasing (borderline bullying) on stream, have we?
Don’t worry, you got back at him with the help of Aksel countless of time, he’d be your partner in crime when it came to bullying Alex
You were watching meme compilations with them on stream, occasionally sharing some little laughs and snarky comments, and, one way or another, you somehow ended up talking about shampoos. Yes, shampoos.
“Honestly, I think 2 in 1 are gross” Alex says, spinning around in his chair while still keeping an eye on the running chat. You were sitting next to him in your usual simple wooden chair that he usually stole from his kitchen. It wasn’t much, and you could feel your thighs getting painted with the hard design of your seat, but it feels very homy, heart warming in its simplicity.
Yet, as comfortable and happy as you felt, you really couldn’t help spatting out the comment that had been dancing dangerously on the tip of your tongue, begging to be freed.
“And what would you know about it you bald fuck”.
Silence filled the room.
.
.
.
You start to grow worried you stepped over the line as you shoot guilty side-glances at him, trying to evaluate whether he was or wasn’t okay with your stupid joke. His spinning was getting gradually slower, and his eyes wide and open jaw came to view.
You’re able to let out a silent sigh of relief as Alex’s face sinks into a, clearly exaggerated, offended pout.
“Have you heard them?? Defend me Aksel what the hell” he cries dramatically, his mindless spinning coming at a halt to stare into the soul of his screen, specifically at the man that is lightly grinning right back at him.
“I mean.. they’re kinda right man..” he mutters in his typical monotone voice, barely holding back an amused snicker.
Alex’s look of betrayal was probably the funniest shit you had seen in a while.
“Why are you two ganging up on a Mexican guy huh??”
“Awww the Mexican card? No better come back??” you laugh smugly, your face screaming “triumph” as he gawks at you.
“You truly found your match” Aksel laughs, adjusting his bucket hat as he leaned down on his office chair.
“Shut the fuck up” he mumbles before looking away from you with a huff.
Oh God does he love you.
Moving on though, these were harsh years for him, so he needs lots of love and support from his partner
I think it’d be too soon to have full on cuddling sessions, but i see him loving your touch, especially if it’s something domestic like a simple hug or a little caress down his back
Not really into PDA either, but he would find comfort in holding your hand whenever he’s tense or even just cold
It’s a reminder you are still by his side despite all of his flaws and insecurities, you chose him
(Ended up being way longer than I intended but had fun :D sorry for the long wait :( I had two very stressing weeks in the middle of writing this)

MCYT ; songs that they associate with you
includes tommyinnit, tubbo, freddie badlinu, ranboo, quackity
warnings ; horrible music taste. Did a few for each of them lmaooo. also let's act like dmca doesn't exist on twitch or whatever. if schlatt can play Fleetwood Mac on stream then who cares yk
masterlist
Tumblr media
BADLINU
Kiss From A Rose ; Seal
You guys watched Batman Forever together and this song came on during credits. Life changing experience.
You had the DVD version with the music video bonus, that was being replayed for like twenty minutes
He has it on almost every playlist he has
He seems like the type of person to make a private, bad quality edit/music video of you two to it
Goosebumps ; Sorana
Dude this song perfectly reflected how he felt before you guys got together 🙏🙏
Plays this on stream when you're streaming with him for background noise.
Before you get together, he still plays it, just makes sure to not let you know that he feels that exact way about you.
Little inside joke between you two, it's kinda your song in a way
Editors love editing you guys to this song omg. They're always cute as hell too
TOMMYINNIT
FaceTime with my Mom (Tonight) ; Bo Burnham
You guys karaoke-d the shit out of this song on stream with Jack and Freddie.
It became a core memory for him. You were only friends at the time but it kinda made him realize that he wanted to be more than just your friend.
He actually FaceTimed his mom afterwards and she said hello to chat and everything
Little funny moment that he loves to think about
Someday (Remastered) ; Sugar Ray
He found this song on your older music playlist
He plays it a lot and thinks about you
Like daydreams that you're on a warm beach with all your friends and stuff
The song has like a warm, summery vibe to it so all summer he makes sure this comes up on your queue when streaming or in the car or whatever.
You guys probably dance around the living room to this song idk
TUBBO
Where The Lines Overlap ; Paramore
"No one is as lucky as us" REAL.
He cherishes you in his own special way yk?
He thinks he's so lucky to have you when you're surprised you could even pull someone, let alone him
Before you guys started dating, he saw an edit of you two to this song and he religiously watched it LMAO
You're both Paramore fans so this worked out perfectly.
Orange Show Speedway ; Lizzy McAlpine
the guitar sounds exactly how you feel to him if that makes sense
the happy nostalgia/dopamine rush kind of feel makes him all smiley and makes him think of you
he literally fell in love at a car speedway show that you two went to together for a little "first date" vlog so 🙏🙏🙏
it's just perfect idk man
RANBOO
Already Over ; Mike Shinoda
this song reminds me a lot of genloss so yk I had to include it here
but yeah, genloss vibes
reminds them a lot of yours and his genloss characters and their relationships and whatnot
when on set for s2 they listen to this on repeat bc your dynamic is so cool
although the viewers r desperately trying to kill you bc you're kind of at fault for genloss! rans trauma/predicament
they'll figure out that's not totally true tho
White Noise ; James Marriott
"I'd quite like to go home now" mother fucker you are his home :(
you're the "What's the point of having a friend when you're on your own in the end" outlook and they're the "I'll make an attempt knowing that I'll fuck it up" in a /pos outlook
you two go perfectly together
like two puzzle pieces, straight the fuck up
the cutest of dynamics
QUACKITY
Le Jardin ; La Femme
you guys watched Fresh together (10/10 btw)
this song came on halfway through and you soundsearched it and quickly dove into the la femme rabbit hole
he thought it was adorable cause you kind of understood the music but he understood completely
honestly got you into learning Spanish more
he literally only sees you listening to la femme to the point where he's a little concerned
you're just addicted to the paradigmes album you're fine
but he does play this on stream a lot just for you
editors go crazy after figuring out its always being played for you omg
Don't Want It ; Lil Nas X
holy shit this song goes hard
anyways yall always play this to get hyped up
he found an edit of you guys to this song and he thinks about it 24/7
literally the "people in my life should know I am not the old me" and the "wanted happiness, wanted forgiveness" duo
I can't explain it it's just vibes

hiii can I plz request a tangerine x soft/femreader where they’re on a cute date at a nice restaurant and they’re having a great time. Tangerine gets up to go use the restroom and while he’s gone some musty crusty dude who probably looks like a divorced Librarian walks up to reader and harasses her. Reader doesn’t know what to do since she’s more of the quiet and shy type and then tangerine (who is fuming when he sees some Walmart wearing dude yelling at his girlfriend) punches him and starts a fight. Meanwhile the reader trying to stop it cause her anxiety can’t take any more of this when the crusty dude accidentally ends up punching reader. Now she’s basically crying and tangerine quickly stops throwing hands and gets her out of there. (Obviously he’s gonna kill that guy some other time but yk he’s an amazing boyfriend so) then they get home, tangerine apologizes and takes care of reader, and she ends up falling asleep while cuddling w/ him.! Although tangerine is loving this moment they’re sharing, he can’t stop thinking about just how much pain he’s gonna inflict on the crusty dude. Sorry for this being so long and thanks! 😅
hii!! the way you described it made me giggle😭 i love stuff like this. thank you for requesting, hope you like it 💌
uncomfortable encounter
tangerine x f reader
wc: 1.2k
warnings: reader gets hits and hit on, little bit of violence- just him being protective for his girl
a/n: this was in my drafts, im not back from my break just yet. I just felt bad and wanted to give you all something
masterlist + rules
taglist
Every couple of weeks, Tangerine would take you out on a cute little date of your choice. He’d do the whole get-up; dressing up nice, buying you flowers, opening your door, anything to make you feel like a princess. He would always be chivalrous but during your dates, he’d go the extra mile to show you how much he loved and appreciated you.
For this date you had decided on a quaint pub by the river, specifically choosing it for its calm and serenity that Tangerine desperately needed after his week at work. Enjoying each other’s company as you both indulged on your dessert, chatting and sharing playful remarks throughout the entirety of the evening.
Everything was all flowing perfectly, you were gossiping about your job while you finished your drinks, both occasionally gazing out at the swan-filled stream that your table was overlooking.
He places down his glass and picks up your hand, pecking a sweet kiss on the back of it before excusing himself to the toilets. “I’ll be right back.”
“No problem.” You smile, taking another sip from your drink as you watch him walk away.
Turning your attention to the bay window, looking out at the view, your eyes darting as they watch over the birds and wildlife.
“That was quick.” You grin, turning around when you feel a presence behind you. “I’m sorry— I thought you were someone else.” You wryly smile as you apologised to the stranger.
“No problem, sweet cheeks.” He grins, causing a shudder-like feeling over your whole body. “Feeling lonely?”
You didn’t enjoy talking, especially if it was to a stranger that made you feel wildly uncomfortable. You didn’t really know how to respond, just awkwardly smiling as you try to distract yourself by playing with your straw.
“You not like me or something? … that’s not what your lips are telling me.” Nodding down to your mouth, noticing the way you were biting the bottom lip. You weren’t biting them provocatively, it was just something you did when you were anxious, harmlessly chewing on your bottom lip to deter you from thinking about your nerves.
“You’re cute.” He smirks, brushing over his greasy hair. “Let me buy you a drink, and maybe the more you drink… the more you might wanna come home with me.” Stroking over the sleeves of your upper arm, staring down at you.
Flinching at his uncalled touch, waiting impatiently for your boyfriend to return.
The man trails his dirty hands over the fabric, breathing heavily with his mouth open, itching his stubby fingers lower.
You felt stuck, it was as if you were paralysed in fear. When you hear the familiar voice of Tangerine yell “Oi” from across the pub, it felt like you could finally breathe again. “What the fuck you doing?” He grits, yanking on the back of the man’s collar to pull him away.
“Hey, man. Nothing. She was practically begging for it.” He groans, stroking his throat.
“Excuse me?” Tangerine grimaces, his eyes displaying nothing but fury as he looked at the man. “What did you just say?” His words were slow and taunting.
“Nothing— nothing.” He stammers, trying to back away.
You knew where this was heading, you’d seen this a dozen times before. You could tell by your boyfriend’s furrowed brows and contorted face that he was about to do something. Something aggressive.
“Say it again.” He whispers, his demeanour nothing but cold and rigid. “Go on.” Provoking him as he tightens his grip on the man’s t-shirt.
“N—no.” Shaking his head, looking at you with hateful eyes.
He grips the man’s face, holding his cheeks tight as he forces his gaze away from you. “And why’s that?”
“What you gonna do? Huh? Cause a bigger scene? We’re in a pub for fucks sake.” He snarks, his features suddenly shift and grow taunting.
Tangerine takes the bait and lands a firm solid punch to the side of the man’s face. Hitting him repeatedly until the man stumbles back, flailing his erratic arms as he landed unsuccessful strikes on your boyfriend.
“Hey.” You say softly, looking nervously around the room. Eyes dart between the two in fear as you make a step towards them, speaking a little louder than before. “Come on, that’s enough.”
The man momentarily sends a scowl your way before wavering a wide lunge that accidentally catches you across the cheek in the process. Tangerine immediately drops the man to the floor and rushes to your side, his hands now tender and soft as he cups your jaw. His worried eyes searching your face, honing in on your tear-filled eyes.
“I’m so sorry… are you okay? Are you hurt?” He questions, his tone scared and rushed.
Nodding with uncertainty, he carefully takes your hand, holding it in his as he leads you away from the man on the floor. He picks up your bag in his spare hand as he leads you out of the pub, guiding you through the crowd of people that were circling around.
“I shouldn’t have done that…“ he says regretfully, searching your face. “I’m so sorry.” Smiling painfully as he wipes his thumbs under your eyes, delicately swiping away your tears. “How bad does it hurt?”
“I’m fine.” You lie, burying your face in his chest. Hugging him tight.
He sighs, resting his chin on the top of your head as he wraps his arms tighter around you, comfortingly stroking your back as you stood under the fairy lights of the smoking area. “People are coming… let’s get you home.” He says softly, slowly separating from your embrace.
Nodding your head as you sniffled, allowing him to take your hand and lead you to his car.
The journey home was pretty quiet, with occasional sniffles and ‘you okay?’ diluting the silence. Spending the majority of the way home with your eyes glued to the floor of the car.
Once you get back home, he immediately sets you atop the kitchen counter, standing between your legs as he gently holds a bag of frozen peas to the sore parts of your face. His free hand carefully stroking over the other side of your face.
After a little while, the swelling starts to go down, so he changes you into his hoodie and pyjama bottoms that he was warming up on the radiator for you. Dressing you before carrying you into the living room and laying you down on the sofa.
He returns shortly after with two teas, a pack of biscuits and your favourite blanket. Snuggling beside you as he cocoons your head in his bicep, holding you close while he flicks through the channels on the tv. He glances down at you, watching your eyes flutter while they attempt to stay open.
He knew he should be enjoying this quiet moment with you, but once he notices the growing red patch on your face that was lit up from the tv, he couldn’t help but plan exactly how he was going to get this man to pay. It wasn’t solely the fact that another man touched you, hit you even. It was because of how uncomfortable and uneasy he made you, how strained your features were when the man looked at you. How frightened this man made you feel.
Tangerine would do anything for you, he’d kill for you. And that’s exactly what he was planning to do.

Lando Norris x reader
well kind of, I going to be honest I hate writing with y/n so I'm almost always going to write with Olive.
Olive will be used mostly but if it is different people with she is with its like a different universe lol.
PSA
I do not know these people so its all made up.
Lando and Olive have known each other for years now, they meet through Max and what happens when people start to notice their connection on one of Max's live streams.
Sorry about the French It is translated so if it is wrong please let me know. It will make more sense later why she speaks french...
Part 2
Olive's Pov -
Max is streaming once again, meaning I get to sit here and listen, well I could be a part of the stream and I will probably make an appearance, although I know a lot of the fans will be sad during today's stream.
Lando is moving to Monaco, and honestly, I am also sad, but I do not really want to think about it and instead decided to sit on my phone and scroll through Instagram.
I jump when all of a sudden the drums start to be played. I roll my eyes knowing that it is Lando. I walk into the room and just look at Lando giving him a look like are you serious.
"Can you stop" Max ask
I roll my eyes knowing that he will just continue and that is exactly what happend.
Max continues to thank everyone for all the subs and I just look at them.
Lando finally stops and walks back over to sit down.
"Are you serious" I look at Lando and say
Max begins to laugh and Lando follows.
"Here I am peacefully scrolling through Instagram to be disturbed by the loudest and most obnoxious noise possible," I say
"like please learn some impulse control Lando" I laugh
Max and Lando are dying at this point holding onto each other as they laugh.
"je ne peux pas te supporter tous les deux" (I cant stand you two) I say while rolling my eye.
"Oh no everyone watch out the French is coming out" Max jokes
"I'm leaving," I say and walk out of the room.
"Nooo come back" Lando shouts.
Fine, I think and go back and sit next to Lando and continue to scroll through Instagram.
Although I am sitting uncomfortably and so I lay my head on Lando's shoulder and continue to scroll through Insta like always.
But it doesn't last long because Max reads a chat
"AWW Lando and Olive are so cute together!"
This caused Lando to lean back up and me to pick up my head, I looked at him and realized I missed the contact we had.
It doesn't take long for them to move off the topic and back to how the chat is sad over the move.
But I keep thikhig about Lando. Recenlty me and Lando have gotten closer hanging out a lot, but many people have been guesing that we are dating and I think that it had made Lando uncomfortable.
I mean maybe I'm just over thinking it I mean he hasnt said antyhing and we still hang out all the time but that defintley will be changing, he moving to another country.
How could something even start with him moving, wait do I even want something to start.
There is no way that I can like Lando Noriss. Its impossible.
My thoughts are cut short by me feeling a nudge, I look at the person who did it.
It was Lando and he smiles and me and shows me whatever he was looking at on his phone. I laugh at the stuipd instragram post.
Both of leaning close are arms begin to brush against one another, smiling at the contact I realise that I need to stop, he is leaving Olive and he's a huge f1 driver there no chance he would ever look at that way.
Lando most have notice me getting lost in my thoughts once again because he nudges me and says
"what going on in that little brain of your Olli"
God the way my name rolls off his tongue, no one can say my name the way he does.
The way my heart speeds up evertime he says "Olli"
I have to respond so qucily I reply "nothing" and just smile back at him.
Lando gies me a look like he doesn’t believe me but then gets distracted by Max asking him a question.
Although the touch between our arms does not end. Sitting here I can’t focus anything but the butterfiles that start to form.
Max looks back staring, I look at him and smile and all he does is shakes his head and turns back to the stream. I always wonder what Max is thinking, no way he thinks I am being to close to Lando right. Wait what if I am being to close to Lando. I start to freak out that maybe the fans said something causing Max to turn and I didn’t even realsie. What if they are upset.
The only way to end this long out burst of thoughts is to leave, so I abruptly stand up and walk out fo the room, to the kitchen I decided that I needed water.
I also decided maybe I should click on the live to see what the fans were saying.
twitch comments -
User2 - are lando and Olive dating?
User4- Lando and Olive are so cute next to eachother.
User5 - Lando and Olive?
User7 - what is happening between Lando and Olive back there.
User9 - Max turning into the third wheel.
Obviously, there were other comments in between them, but I was right, people were talking about me and Lando, and I had no idea how to feel about it.
Of course, I like Lando I mean look at him how could you not, I continued to stare at the sink not realising that my cup had filled up and water was just running all over my hand and into the sink until someone came up behind me and grabs the cup and turns off the sink.
"olli what is going on with you tonight" Lando says.
Of course it had to be Lando.
"Nothing I just, I just have a lot on my mind I guess" I reply.
"Olli you know you can tell me if something is bothering you, I will always listen, and I can take a break from the stream".
"Lando I "
"I promise. It's nothing" I say while looking away.
Well, that is until a hand comes under my chin moving my head to look back at him.
Our eyes meet and he just stares at me as if he is trying to read my thoughts.
My breath gets faster
I want to kiss him but I know that feeling is not mutual.
"You know you can just say you're going to miss me," Lando says while still staring right into my eyes.
God hes green eyes are so intoxicaiting making it hard for me to even understand what he said in the fristplace.
"Of course, I'll miss you, Lando. It's going to be weird that I won't be able to just walk over to your house anymore" I reply while dropping my eyes to look at the floor. I can't make eye contact with him, not right now.
"olli you can come and visit anytime and I have to come back for Mclaren a lot so do not worry we'll still see each other". He says.
His comforting voice makes me want to believe him, but why would he visit a girl like me. I mean were only friends because of Max and me and Max only met because of our mothers.
I keep thinking about the days recently, the walks, the talks, and the laughs we shared, knowing that they will probably not continue.
I look at him again and say "go back to the stream Lando"
He looks at me almost shocked.
"Don't push me away Olli" he says.
It was almost as if he could read me like a book.
Knowing exactly what I was doing.
But in life, you learn what is easier, after watching person after person leave sometimes it is easier to be the first to leave. Well, you think it is.
I have no reply for him, no words come to my head, and all I can think about is leaving first because then maybe it won't hurt as bad.
"Olli I'm not leaving you, Just because I am moving does not mean I am leaving you". I promise Olli"
I cut him off before he can continue "That's what everyone says but people grow apart Lando and your moving on, and I will be stuck here working in a stupid little coffee shop pretending to be a writer."
my words break my own heart and the truth revealed itself in my anger.
I look at him as the tears build in my eyes "Lando you an F1 driver and I am a want to be writer who has to work in a coffee shop to earn just enough money to live. You grew I didn't. I would just pull back and so I understand that once you leave I will just be a memory".
I can't stand to look at him anymore so I pull away from his touch, grab my jacket and bag, and run out the front door.
But then it hit me, my roommate has her boyfriend over and I promised I wasn't coming home tonight.
I head back to the front door and just stare at it trying to build up the confidence to make my way back inside.
Hoping that Lando has returned to the stream I go to reach for the door but it is pulled open by someone from the inside.
Lando and Max stare back at me.
Max grabs me a pulls me inside.
"Olive where were you going, Lando said you were upset and left and I was worried," Max asked
"I Just have a lot on my mind, okay, so I was just going to head home for the night but then I remembered Leah has Alex over so yeah"
"well just stay here Max says, I'm going to head back to the stream, are you sure you're okay. Do you need anything" Max asked
"No I am fine Max" I reply.
Max walks away and then there is just me and Lando left standing in the kitchen but this time I can't look at him, I can't think or prepare myself for what he is going to say.

I’ve Got You (e. williams)
——————————————————
A/N:Okay, so this is entirely self indulgent since I was having a bad night. Mental illness was kicking my ass so here’s the result of that. I’m too tired to know if it makes any sense but I hope you guys like it either way. PLEASE read the content warning below, it’s a bit heavy because as stated, I wrote it for myself originally. I figured I’d share this in case anyone else is struggling. Love you guys, and I’m always here if you wanna chat <3
cw: mentions of heavy intrusive thoughts, and mentions of mental illness and its various symptoms as a whole.
˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖ ˖⁺‧
You’re not sure what causes it. Maybe it’s the stress from work, or maybe it’s just something in the air.
The moment you get home, Ellie’s sat on the couch playing a game. She darts her eyes towards you quickly, still focused. “How was your day,baby?” She asks, flicking the joystick with her thumb.
You don’t say anything. This catches her attention, and she pauses the game and looks up. By now, there are tears streaming down your face.
“Oh, sweetheart.” She coos, placing the controller down and standing up. She opens up her arms, and you barrel towards her.
She strokes your hair gently as you sob into her chest, no doubt in your mind that you’re probably ruining her favorite sweater.
She doesn’t seem to mind though, as she lifts your chin to meet her eyes. “You wanna talk about what happened babe?” She asked. You shrug, moving to sit down on the couch.
She follows and plops down next to you, putting a hand on your back. You lean into her embrace and sigh, sniffling lightly. “I-I don’t know. It’s nothing really specific, I’ve just been upset lately. I’m not sure why.” She nods in understanding, rubbing your back softly.
While she’s silent, you suddenly feel bad. She probably just wanted to relax and play her game, and here you are, bothering her about nonsense. You knew she didn’t actually feel that way, but you usually preferred to not bring these thoughts up to her.
You were worried that if you did, she’d be upset that you saw her that way. You’d had many intrusive thoughts of harming either yourself or Ellie, and even though you know with absolute certainty you’d never act upon them, they still scare you. Some days, you felt like a monster. Incapable of loving or being loved.
Deep down, you know Ellie loves you. You love her too, more than anything in the entire world. You’d come to the conclusion one day though, that your brain wasn’t wired properly.
Before your thoughts could spiral more out of control, Ellie spoke up. “I get what you mean, baby. Some days it’s just tough, yeah?” She said. You nodded, a few stray tears slipping down your face. “The world just fucking sucks sometimes. Everything’s just so overwhelming these days.” You reply, curling into her side.
She laughs dryly. “You’re not kidding. It’s like in my case, I’m fine most days. But on the days I’m not, well you’ve seen me. It’s like a switch gets flipped or something.” Ellie said, running a hand through your hair. “It’s an exhausting feeling.” You reply, turning to face her.
She smiles. “It is. You wanna know how I get through it though?” You nod, and she cups your face between her hands. “I just think about you. World’s going to hell in a handbasket, but you’re always right there by my side. Remember that time I had a fight with Joel?” She asked.
“Mhm, I remember.” You say.
Ellie smiles. “Well, I was super upset that day. As soon as I stepped in the door, you knew something was off. I didn’t wanna talk about it, so you just kissed my cheek and went into the kitchen.” She paused for a moment, smiling.
“You made me chocolate covered strawberries, cause you knew they were my favorite. Then we cuddled on the couch and watched Star Trek. I’ll never forget that day.” She recalled fondly, her free hand tracing soothing circles on your thigh.
Your eyes well up. “I love you, Ellie.” You breathe, looking up at her. Her smile nearly splits her face in half. “I love you too, sweet girl. Always will, now and forever.” She replied, pressing kisses all over your face.
You giggle. “Ew gross, I’ve got snot and tears all over my face.” She fake pouts, brushing a piece of stray hair out of your eyes. “I don’t care, you still look adorable. Now c’mere.”
You playfully roll your eyes as she pulls you into a proper kiss, her hands cupping your face. When you both pull away, she leans her forehead against yours, stroking your cheek with her thumb.
“We’ll get through the hard days together, yeah? We’re a team, you and me. Like the byronosaurus and the citipati. Did you know their nests were adjacent?.” She asks you with a smile.
You laugh, nodding your head. “Yeah, exactly like that. You learn that from one of your little documentaries?” You ask her.
“I did, I watched a really good one last night.” She said. You chuckle, adjusting yourself to lay on her chest. “You’re a dork.” You tell her, playing with the strings of her hoodie.
You feel her chest vibrate beneath you as her laughter fills the air. “You love it.” She tells you, a cocky grin on her face.
You can’t help but roll your eyes and smile back at her. “I do. Not as much as I love you, though.” Ellie blushes, a nervous little smile on her face. No matter how many times you’d told her you loved her, she still got as flustered as the first time. It was one of your favorite things about her, something you’d never get tired of.
“I love you the mostest. So ha!” She exclaimed.
“That’s not a real word baby, but I’ll give it to you.” You told her. She fist pumps triumphantly. You cuddle further into her, and she sighs contentedly.
She picks up her controller and saves her game before exiting it. “What’re you doing?” You ask her. She kisses the top of your head. “I’m gonna put on that space documentary you like. That okay with you, doll?” You blush at the pet name and nod your head.
Ellie smiles lovingly at you before pressing play. As the documentary starts, you completely forget about the stress of life. Sure, things were hard. They wouldn’t change overnight, and it would take time for you to feel okay again.
But right now you had Ellie at your side, and you knew she would be with you every step of the way. She was the love of your life, and you were hers. With her, you knew you could face anything that came your way.
You fell asleep in her arms later that night, surrounded by her scent and warmth. You’ve never felt happier.

I'll stream for a small bit~~~~
bgm: 撞地球 (Earth Collision) by Yu Er Qi LYN: Hallo everybody, good evening! - /sings along/
bgm: Fall in Love LYN: Hallo everybody, good evening. I am Modern Brothers Liu Yuning. Welcome! C: The beanie doesn’t look good. LYN: /smiles in pain/ There’s always a group of you causing me trouble. I just came here to stream and as soon as I’m here you have to nitpick at me? You can’t even let me wear a beanie? LYN: If you don’t like seeing it, then don’t watch. It’s not as if I collect tickets or anything, so you can watch if you want. I’m not trying to show off the beanie today, anyway. I’m trying to show off the microphone. :) Ning-ge bought a new mic and wants to show it off. 
bgm: 一念关山 - Richie Ren [YNGS OST] 
LYN: I didn’t really have a lot to do today, so we wrapped relatively earlier. It’s still not early, though. I just looked at the clock. It’s already 9p. This counts as a late night stream, then. I hope I can help you have a relaxing, happy, and wonderful night. I just feel like I haven’t been streaming as regularly as I was before, so if I wrap early I want to stream more often. LYN: Oh- not holding anything in my hand feels weird. This mic has a stand- it’s high class. Now I’m not holding anything and my hands feel empty. C: How about you grab a string of beads? LYN: /claps/ Good idea! Wait for me~ :) LYN: No fighting back, I take your advice. Straight to rubbing beads. LYN: Some people who might be new friends- their reaction to “how about you grab a “chuan”?” was: “Oh. I thought you went to grab a lamb skewer.” You thought I was going to do a mukbang? Grab five lamb skewers and a bottle of beer? [t/n: it’s the same character for both, which makes sense because they’re both items lined up on stick/string: ​​串] - C: Lao-da, can you wish me a happy birthday? LYN: /softly/ Happy Birthday. Is it your birthday today? That’s nice. - LYN: If there’s anyone watching who has the same interest and likes to play with beads, you can grab yours and we’ll do it together.  - C: Lao-da, wish my son a happy birthday. LYN: /throws a look into the camera/ … I wish everyone who is celebrating their birthday today a Happy Birthday. I hope this year for you goes smoothly and happily.
LYN: I wrapped up a bit earlier today, and I think later in this crew that will be difficult to do, so I thought to come stream for a while. Even though it’s already 9p, but I still wanted to stream. Later when I’m tired, I’ll send myself to sleep. Don’t tell me to spend the new year with you (stream past 12a)- don’t give me that pressure and don’t try to morally kidnap me. When I’m tired, I’ll go to sleep. LYN: There’s nothing much going on, so I just came to chat. There’s nothing in particular I want to talk about, unlike when I had some things I wanted to come here to set the record straight about. There are no topics for today. I’m just here to chat.
C: Ning-ge, stream while you sleep. Don’t turn it off. LYN: I- you want me to sleep wearing this? I’d be uncomfortable. Forget it.
C: Ning-ge, is there not a copyright issue when you play other people’s songs? LYN: ?! First, there’s no monetary transactions going on in my stream, so it’s okay. If I were here for business, and received 400rmb from weibo to do this stream.. Let’s say they ask me, “Ning-ge. We'll give you 400rmb. Could you come do a stream on our platform on this date/time?” In that situation, any song I played or sang during my stream would face a copyright issue. But in a situation like now- I’m only playing the music (not having been paid or accepting monetary donations), I don’t think anyone would see that as a violation and sue me. It’s not worth it.
C: Xiao Ning-ge, you have 伤痛 (pain (from a wound)/sorrow) fans now. LYN: “I’ve heard people say, that longing is like the wind- it can go anywhere.” It’s that, right? I saw a bunch of people and different languages dubbing it and I thought, “Wow, so amazing.” There were some that really gave the emotion. They were really very great. My friends are all multi-talented! LYN: I saw a bunch of you also dubbing the clip and I also shared it. You all are so amazing. I admire you. [t/n: the video in reference: https://weibo.com/5456865382/O1kOv9DiN]
C: How’s your foot? LYN: My foot’s okay. Its just that I probably can’t dance anytime soon. You won’t be seeing any dance videos from me for the time being. My FOOT’s okay- but running is a no. Last time I sprained my ankle a little. Running is no good. It still gives echoing pain. Especially because I’m tall, so my balance is not great. If I’m not careful I can easily twist my ankle. C: You can no longer be a singer-dancer. LYN: Right.
C: Ning-ge, I’m on a plane. I can’t watch your stream. LYN: What are you telling me for?? Do you want me to feel regret, or that it’s a great pity? Or do you want me to say, “Don’t go. Get off that plane and watch my stream.” How do you want me to answer? You tell me. LYN: What are you telling me for? If you can’t watch because you’re on a plane, then don’t watch. When you get off the plane there will be the playback waiting for you. Why are you telling me this?? And spamming, too. Annoying!
C: Ning-ge, what date are you streaming until? LYN: I think you typed that wrong. You wanted to ask me what HOUR I’m streaming until, right? I’m only going to stream a small while. I only just started a few minutes ago. I’m here to chat and when I’m tired and sleepy I’ll go wash my face and go to sleep. 
C: You’re a little mean. LYN: That’s just how my streams are. But if you want me to be an obedient and nice big boy, I can be that, too. Do you want me to “pinch”? Not only can I “pinch” my voice, I can also “pinch” my character. I can act as a… very normal artist for you. I’ll do it. I can- I know how to do it all. C: Do it. LYN: Let’s not… last time I did it, it seems like a lot of you wanted to throw up. 
-- 奉上 (Offer) [YNGS OST]
LYN: I sang a song for a drama recently- it’s called 大理寺少卿游 (White Cat Legend), and the song is 莫问前程 (Don’t Ask About the Future). If you don’t have any dramas to watch, you can check this one out. - /starts a cat fight/ -- 莫问前程 (Don’t Ask About the Future) C: What song is this? LYN: I already said, it’s 莫问前程 (Don’t Ask About the Future), the theme song from a recently airing drama called 大理寺少卿游 (White Cat Legend). If you haven’t got anything to watch these days, you can check this one out. It’s good. I think it’s not bad at all.
C: The effect of the new mic is great! LYN: :D It’s not bad. 
C: Lao-da, why do you wear gloves when playing with beads? LYN: I’m the type of person who does a lot of homework when he starts something. These ones are called “feng yan” (phoenix eye) bodhi. These are very easily dirtied. Once your sweat gets on it, it will turn very dull and dark. So when I’m wearing these gloves, not only do I keep it clean but also the beads will turn a nice peach-red color. Not dirty. So I wear a glove for this one, but you wouldn’t wear a glove for all of them. For people who sweat easily from their hands, it will turn the beads dark. So I try to keep it nice. C: Ning-ge, please recommend good beads for a beginner. LYN: Do you think I’m a seller, and now I need to tell you all about it? C: How do you use Jingang Bodhi beads? LYN: If you’re using jingang bodhi beads then that means you’re trying to test me. There is no “how”- you can play with them however you want. C: Are there ones that are already finished? LYN: No. I only just started, a little more than 6 months ago. These beads are supposed to be done within 3 winters and 2 summers. LYN: What am I doing? I’m a singer. I’m an actor. Why am I telling you about bodhi beads now?? Now I seem like I’m trying to sell you something. // I’m a bead-playing singer. C: Liar. The ones you’ve finished you gave to other people. LYN: I didn’t give any away. These beads are usually done within three winters and two summers. By that time they’re red. I’ve only just been playing for half a year, now. It’s still early for me. The main purpose of them is to keep you company. 
bgm: 落了白 by Jiang Xue’er
LYN: With some of you, I fear that if you have nothing to say, you try to force it. If you really don’t know how to communicate with me, you can choose not to type anything at all. Or, you can comment with, “LYN is so handsome!” Someone just commented, “Ning-ge, your beanie looks like a pair of underpants.” … If you have nothing to say, don’t force it. Do you wear knit underpants? If you do, then post a pic of them on weibo so everyone can observe them. Wouldn’t they be uncomfortable?? Maybe wool (cashmere) ones would be okay?
C: Can you gift me with a string of beads? LYN: No way. Keep dreaming. Don’t even think about it.
C: Ning-ge, I’m exchanging ten years of being single for you to look at my comment. LYN: I saw you. Ten years of being single, for me to look at their comment. I saw it. LYN: Is that too petty?
C: The Truth S2. LYN: Yes, it’ll be shooting soon. We’ll start recording content this month, so that means that you’ll see my variety show later this year. I didn’t do any last year, even though I was planning on waiting for one… That one later failed to launch, so I didn’t end up going. I didn’t have much time anyway. I was planning on doing a variety this year, and The Truth happened to open up again, so I gave them my time. C: Are you still Liu Xialai? LYN: It’s all changed this year. The model has changed, and S2 is going to be a lot more flashy than S1 was. I thought S1 was already very amazing. But S2 this year will be even more interesting. The characters will play a lot more into the story this year. C: Is it scary? LYN: No, it won’t be. If it were, I wouldn’t go. C: You haven’t even started shooting yet, so how would you know? LYN: Before you agree to start on the show, you have to understand what it’s about and what you’re going to be doing on it… So I know some, and there definitely won’t be scary elements in it. If there is then I’ll just run. I won’t be recording anymore. I’d run away.
C: Ning-ge, when does ZLYM wrap? LYN: Soon. Another month or so? C: Then, when you wrap can you rest a bit? LYN: What do you consider as “rest”, though? If I have different work lined up, is it considered rest? I don’t think I can take too long of a break but, from this crew to the next I’m sure I’ll have a couple of days. I’ll go record my album, shoot for the variety show, and finish up a few endorsements. Probably just those few things. After which I’ll enter into the new crew, so I’d have to prepare for that. Like rehearsals and readings. 
C: The bgm is so loud. LYN: That’s why, you have to get used to watching my streams. I guess you haven’t seen very many. Our stream is not like the average artists’ livestream. Here it’s like a bar. Would you go to a bar to drink while I chat with you, then ask the owner to turn the music down? What about the other customers? Right? We have to accommodate with others, here.  
bgm: 我只愿朝着光 (I Only Wish to Face the Light) [BYOL OST]
C: Ning-ge, do you know what dramas will be airing soon? LYN: I really don’t know. But I want to say- let’s just watch whatever airs. I don’t know either. As an actor, we have the least input for deciding when a drama will air. How would we know?? I really don’t. C: Is Zi Chuan coming soon? LYN: I REALLY don’t know. I shot ZC in 2021- it’s been a while. The dubbing is all completed. You just have to watch when it airs, to support it. At that time in 2021, my personal statewasn’t the greatest. I wasn’t as thin as I am now, and my performance was not as mature. Even though I know I’m not “mature” even now, but in 2021 whether you’re looking from performance or personal physical state, was not as good as I am now. I was lacking, and it’s okay. The drama is still a good drama, so you can check it out. The filming, directing, and production company all put in a lot of effort to create this drama. You can all go watch when it airs. As for me, I have relatively little scenes- not quite 200 scenes. I was the second male lead. 48 episodes total. My screentime is not that much, but please watch for fun and to support the drama. Thank you. 
C: Ning-ge, is your next drama also guzhuang? LYN: Yes, that’s right. C: I want to see you in a modern drama. LYN: If you want to see me in a modern drama go watch BYOL. The one I did with Tao-jie. :) Modern dramas, for the moment, I… LYN: I’m not as popular as you think I am. I can’t just choose whatever drama in this industry that I want to. “Ning-ge, choose a modern drama” and I say, “Okay” and just choose one. It’s not like that. No modern dramas have come looking for me. The ones I have now are not only few but if there’s no other choice I have to pick it if I want to keep working. Its not like they bring me ten scripts to choose from. I know that there are rumors that I have resources but you, as my fan, really believed them?? Of course, I believe that I’m the greatest in my fans’ hearts. To my fans, I must be the most popular. The most outstanding. I believe they have that kind of bias towards me. But the truth is that this industry doesn’t. LYN: You keep wanting me to act in a modern drama, but that’s not something I can do just because I want to. Unless I take my phone to shoot something. In that case I can do any type of genre I want. Republican, modern, costume, primitive, in the age of the dinosaurs… 
C: Act as a villain. LYN: You must be a new friend. From debut until now I’ve been a villain the most. I’m always the bad guy. After four years I can finally be a good guy, and you want me to go back to playing the bad guy?? LYN: I don’t want to!
C: Play someone who doesn’t die. LYN: That’s difficult. Someone earlier told me to go act in a modern drama. I think that’s an easier thing to do than playing someone who doesn’t die. I’m serious. /sigh/ The probability of me choosing a role and having that character NOT die, is less than the probability of me landing a role in a modern drama. I don’t know why, but the characters I play easily end up dead. It’s almost as if… the viewers don’t want to see me alive. C: Your probability of staying alive is higher in a modern drama. LYN: That sounds very reasonable. I have a higher chance at staying alive in a modern drama, because they tend to gear more towards lifestyle. Unlike in costume dramas, in the old times, where two countries are at war in a moment’s notice. This side sends 500 people, that side sends 500 people, and we fight to the death. You’ll rarely see that in a modern drama. Unless the drama itself is set in war times. The other thing is you’re rarely poisoned in a modern drama. Instead you’re diagnosed with some incurable disease. In guzhuang dramas you’re either poisoned, injured in assassination attempts (hidden weapons), swords go flying, or two countries are at war. It’s just so difficult to survive in olden times. One wrong step and you’re dead. LYN: There’s just no helping it. 
C: Ning-ge, if you play a doctor you won’t die. LYN: /laughs/ What you’re saying is that whether in a guzhuang or modern drama, as long as you’re a doctor, you don’t die? Because doctors can self-diagnose, so from the moment they’ve been poisoned they can work on curing themselves? Is that what you mean? But haven’t you ever heard of the phrase, “Doctors can easily heal others, but it is difficult for them to heal themselves”? Haven’t you ever heard that phrase? LYN: Going by your logic, Qian Zhao shouldn’t have died. QZ was a doctor, right? But he died, too.
C: Ning-ge, what’s that drama with you and WZW called? LYN: It’s called “Cicada Girls.” It’s an adaptation from a manhua. I don’t have very many scenes in that one, either- only 100 or so. I wrapped with that drama within two months. Not even two full months. 
C: Then, Ning-ge, act as an immortal. They don’t die. LYN: Let me tell you- I don’t know, because maybe I haven’t watched very many xianxia dramas- because I pretty much haven’t watched one through. But! From my understanding of xianxia dramas it’s not that they DON’T die, but that they DIE REPEATEDLY. They die so many times, not only the once. You’re telling me to play an immortal because they don’t die. I think you must be speaking nonsense! You die once in this life, and you meet again and die in the next. At the least you’ll die three times, sometimes maybe even seven times. So you must not really comprehend the mechanism behind a xianxia. That mechanism is death. LYN: For example, if two people think their storyline is not going well in this life, they die. In the next life they meet again as two different people and their story starts again. When you hit a dead-end it’s okay, just die again. For example for this section, we can start in the Heavenly Realm. When you feel the story is going nowhere, we kill the mains. They move on to the next section in the Mortal Realm. One’s a prince, the other’s some daughter of a wealthy house. They fall in love and they eventually reach a point that can go no further. Okay. Kill them. Next, we’ll write them as more common folk. One’s a rich landlord, and the other’s a poor laborer and the two get involved until the story can’t progress. They die again. Next life, we’re back in the Heavenly Realm. Yeah- we can write at least four parts. This is very easy. You can imagine the number of times death becomes a common occurrence. 
C: Ning-ge, then act as Yan Wang (King of the Underworld). Then you won’t die. LYN: … /sigh/. C: Play an alien. LYN: /laughs/ It’s not as if aliens don’t die. What about You Who Came from the Stars? LYN: Let me tell you the thing about aliens. Say you’re an alien and you’ve come to Earth. You look human, but in the end you’re still going to die. For example, say this guy doesn’t age and doesn’t die. But for the woman he loves, he’s going to give all that up. That’s what will strike a chord with the viewers. It’s a common trope, isn’t it? That’s the whole point of the story. The guy doesn’t age and doesn’t die. You already know that in the end he’s going to die for the girl. Otherwise setting it up like that in the first place has no meaning. Do you get it? The character design isn’t there for him to look cool. It’s there to take things to a highlight wherein he gives it all up to die for the girl. It’s definite. He’ll die either for the girl, or some other emotional connection. Think about it- that’s just the design. LYN: Let’s say you’re acting as an immortal. In the end, you’re going to die for a mortal. That’s the most important thing, and it’s what drives the story. It all goes like that.
C: Then, Ning-ge, why don’t you just act as a ghost? Skip all the steps in between, jump straight to ghost. LYN: You can’t tell me to play a ghost just because I look like one. “LYN looks like a ghost. Just go play a ghost, then.”
bgm: 黑夜一束光 (Praying)
C: Ning-ge, play a jiangshi. LYN: /sigh/ LYN: That’s enough. I can’t choose to play whatever I want. I told you earlier, didn’t I? 
C: Ning-ge, if you’re going to be like that then it seems like acting is meaningless. LYN: No? Why wouldn’t it have meaning? Acting is very interesting to me. It’s fun. But the prerequisite is that you encounter a good script. If you can’t come across a good script you go… crazy. 
C: Ning-ge, if you’re going to be like that then stop acting. Just stream for us instead. LYN: Are you trying to advise me not to act anymore? And instead of acting, I should come here at 8p every night to stream? Is that what you mean? What’s the difference between your words and the words of my anti-fans? My antis always tell me, “LYN, can you stop acting?” Now my fans are telling me, “Yeah. Don’t act. Stream instead.” 
C: Ning-ge, what other female actress would you want to work with? LYN: I’m good with anyone. I don’t have the right to pick other people, and I don’t have the right to act with whoever I want to. I’m ok with anyone. They’re all good. As long as they’re someone who takes works seriously, that’s enough for me. LYN: Acting really needs cooperation. A good partner is the most important. The more I learn the more I feel that acting needs cooperation. You’re not out here acting on your own. If the two actors are just doing their own scenes it feels too separate from each other. It becomes uncomfortable to see. So choosing a good acting partner is very important. I say this because sometimes I get asked in interviews, “LYN, when you’re paired with veteran actors, do you get nervous?” I don’t. You know how some people say when they meet someone very famous, they’ll be nervous around them? I won’t be. Instead, I’m even more relieved. Because no matter how shallow or superficially you act, the opposite actor can carry the scene. You can also act freely without fear that they won’t be able to follow you. You feel more at ease when with veteran actors, because you can act without reservations. I know that I can’t act very well, but my ability to learn is very strong. So I’ll actually be even more relieved. Acting with a more mature actor is more comfortable. But there are some actors I’ve paired with where I... don’t really dare to act freely. LYN: When you’re working with veteran- and even senior actors- there’s always something you can learn. I think that’s the thing that makes me happiest. It doesn’t matter if it’s the good things or the bad things, I can always learn something.
C: What about acting with ZSX? LYN: Me and ZSX? Very comfortable when we’re shooting scenes together. Our moods match. When I act with him I feel very comfortable. So that’s why I’ve always thought he was great. He’s a really amazing actor. 
C: Ning-ge, I’ll exchange ten years of being single for you to look at me. LYN: I SAW YOU!! /laughs/ I saw you. You don’t need to post such “poisonous” content. There’s no need. C: I’ll exchange fifty years of being single for you to look at me. LYN: There’s really no need for you to exchange anything for me. You don’t need to. I can basically see everything that you’re typing. I see everything for the most part, but I can’t reply to every single comment. Okay? In any case, I can see you. 
C: Ning-ge, show us a “nan-gao”. LYN: What does that mean? Male, high note? Is that it? - /shows off his high notes/ LYN: No, I know what you mean. Male, high school student. You’re thinking too much. With my old face? I told you last time, there was a drama that wanted me to act as a college student and I couldn’t convince myself to do it. I said, “Forget it. Let’s not. It’s not worth it. There are people more suited to playing a college student, let’s leave this role for them. My old face can’t cut it.” There’s no need to challenge something I’m not suited for. LYN: If I had to force it, I could probably swing a graduate student/reseracher. I’ll be a researcher of Sichuan dishes or something. Someone who specializes in Western foods. It’s a bonus that I have experience as a cook that I can put to use. C: Male teacher? LYN: Teacher is okay. But definitely not a student, so stop trying. If word gets out I’d be laughed to death. There’s going to be an yxh post with the title, “LYN said in his stream that he wants to act as a high school student.” The topic will be “LYN’s fans tell him to act as a high school student; LYN rejects the idea.” I can already imagine what the comments will be. There’s going to be a batch of this type: “Him? As a high school student? He’s so ugly, how can he pass as a high school student at his age???” I don’t even have to say anything, the ridicule will come first. It’s all predictable. So stop saying nonsense in my stream. You’re going to make me grow antis. I can hate on myself and I’ll take whatever comes with that, but if you hate on me then… I’ll feel wronged.
C: Play a domineering CEO. LYN: I won’t. I can’t do it. A domineering CEO at the least has to be handsome, right? I don’t qualify. I can see the yxh now: “LYN’s fans tell him to act as a domineering CEO; LYN declines. Does he look down on domineering CEO roles? For all fans of actors who’ve played domineering CEOs, what do you think?” What do you think?
LYN: Lately there have been a lot of dramas that are just... mentioning me. Like, “This drama has settled on a cast. It will be LYN, and this person, and that person.” When you see posts like that, 70% of the comments are cursing me out. But the thing is that I don’t even know about it! How about this- can we discuss beforehand in the future? If you see those posts- first of all, the yxh uses my name to drum up discussion on the drama, which proves at least one thing: they look well upon me. From a good perspective, they think highly of me and use my name. I think there was a drama called “Ya Se” or something? I refuted those rumors a year ago! I used it as entertainment for a stream and I already refuted those rumors. But recently it came back around. I got another round of hate for it. Once a year, it comes back around. I’m not even IN it and people still have to ridicule me. So let’s try to do this in the future. Number 1- I just said, they mention me because they think highly of me. It means that I still have audience interest, even though they’re mostly here to make fun of me. It’s still something. Number 1 is to look at these posts for fun. Number 2, if you see people cursing me out, write down their IDs. Ok? Get down the IDs of all the people who are cursing me out and then when the drama actually comes out and it’s a different actor, go back to them and tell them to apologize to me. “We have a record of you spreading hate about LYN for this role. Can you apologize for it? Since he isn’t in this drama, that means that you’ve wrongly accused him. It’s unjust.” If they don’t want to apologize then just forget it. Just let it slide, because we don’t need to start some big feud. 
LYN: But on the other hand, there are some accounts that post… accurately. So when you speak, try to give yourself an out. That’s also giving me an out. Sometimes the yxh will post about a project… that’s real/accurate. But I see my fans go to comment, “We don’t believe in or spread rumors. Who would go to such a project? Do you think Ning-ge is crazy, to accept such a poor project?? There’s no way. Absolutely no way.” “Do you think LYN’s an idiot, to accept this project. No way he’s going.” I’m shaking reading all those comments. Do I- do I still continue with the project or not? LYN: So! You can not believe in or spread rumors, but also don’t forget to leave me an out. There are a couple situations. Here’s one: At the time of posting, the statement IS nonsense. But later the project does come to look for me, because this industry is a circle. They might consider that I am also a suitable candidate, so they inquire about my time and if appropriate, could let me join the crew. At the time of posting, it’s true that it was not me. But later it becomes me. It’s possible. So when you leave comments remember to leave yourself and me a way back out. 
C: The microphone today is so unique. LYNL: It is unique and very cool. This is a… /fiddles with the mic/ … a very good microphone. It’s a limited edition. Isn’t that interesting? Even microphones come in limited editions. It’s a 50th anniversary collector’s mic. This microphone has been around for 50 years and they released a limited edition, so I bought one. It’s a present to myself for being Weibo’s Livestream King. Since I’m King this year, I thought I would give myself an award and upgrade my equipment. So I bought this mic, which in itself has also upgraded my stream. It works and it’s quite nice. C: Is it used for recording? LYN: A lot of OSTs are recorded on this model of mic. I have another one of my own- I used it on my stream once but it’s too expensive so I don’t want to use it. Many of my OSTs now are recorded in Hengdian, and the mics in that studio are this model but I don’t think they’re very good. The standards are getting higher and higher, so I upgraded my mic too. I went online and bought my own. When I go to the studio in Hengdian I bring my own mic. The ones in the studio aren’t great. C: Ning-ge, this mic receives the sound so well. Watch out when you need to use the restroom later. LYN: Ah, ha. Okay. I got it.
C: Ning-ge, is this a live stream or a recorded stream? LYN: Since when did I ever have recorded streams?? If I had the time to pre-record one, why wouldn’t I have just livestreamed?
C: How much was it (the mic)? LYN: What’s the price have to do with it? All mics are at a set price. It has nothing to do with how much it costs. These things are all equipment for my work- the kind where no matter how much it costs, I am willing to pay for it. No matter what I do, as long as it’s for the best equipment, I don’t argue about the costs. 欲善其事,必先利其器. (To do a good job, an artisan needs the best tools.) I understand the concept. No matter what I do, it’s going to be done with the best equipment. I don’t care how I sing, the mic needs to be a good one. That’s the way it is with me. The beads, too. I don’t care if I have the technique right or if I’m even suited for this hobby. I still have to buy the best quality beads. That’s the way I work. 
LYN: Honestly, this mic (the handheld) is also very good. They’re the same brand. This one was a little more than 5k, but less than 6. The corded mic. This one (the one on the stand) is a little more expensive. “A poor student has the best stationary”- it’s a little bit like that. C: You have a new mic so you don’t dare to use strength when you speak? LYN: ~Why wouldn’t I dare? Why wouldn’t I dare? You must be joking.~ LYN: ~My dearest viewers, good evening.~
C: Raffle it (the handheld). LYN: Why should I? Can’t I just keep it? Also- what’s with the principle that anything I’m not using is up for keeps? I won’t be giving it away.

bgm: 阳光总在风雨后 (Sunshine After the Wind and Rain) > 城裡的月光 (Moonlight in the City) LYN: There’s someone asking me whether I’ve accepted this or that project. I can’t tell you. How can I tell you before it’s officially announced?
C: How did the fight with the neighbors go? Were you able to stop them? LYN: Oh, no. They’re watching White Cat Legend. There’s a fight scene and I thought the neighbors were fighting. The sound of their tv was too loud. I went to knock on their door and they were flustered. I told them to keep it down, and they agreed. Then I came back. We didn’t have an argument. 
- /singing along to 城裡的月光 (Moonlight in the City)/ LYN: Let’s complete tonight’s song quota.

C: Then, Ning-ge, remove your makeup on stream. LYN: /huffs a laugh/ There’s no need. It’s not worth it.
C: Where do you live now? LYN: What’s it to you?? Why do you want to know where I live? Are you going to come over and make yourself my guest? Or do you think it’s the New Year, so you should come visit? Let me tell you friend- I don’t make a good host. Don’t come to my house. Thank you.
C: What time are you heading to work tomorrow? LYN: I don’t know, I haven’t got the notice yet. This crew’s notices are posted kind of late. Let’s not rush. Let me stream a while.
C: When will you stream next? LYN: It’s hard to say when I’ll stream next. That’s why you can subscribe to nitifcations from my weibo. The next time I stream it will let you know. Subscribe to my weibo. Thank you, all.
C: Lao-da, can you recommend me some good eats in Dandong? LYN: Good eats in Dandong are only those few. The main thing is the seafood, since it’s close to the river/sea. You can go to Dandong to eat some seafood, and it’s not expensive either. It’s also very fresh. Another thing is you can try Korean Chinese food. Because we’re really close to the border. So you can go to a Korean Chinese restaurant and experience their warmth/enthusiasm. You can also try Dandong’s bbq. It’s just those few things. Honestly, the food everywhere is pretty much the same. Can you not eat Sichuan hotpot in Beijing? Can you not find Cantonese food there? Can you not find Northeastern food? You can find it all. It’s all pretty much the same. LYN: It just depends on each region’s resources. Dandong’s seafood and fruits would be better. There are a few fruits: a peach that’s very good, of course you have the strawberries, and there’s… black dates. Just those few. For seafood there’s the crab, shrimp. LYN: A few days ago a friend even asked me. An actor friend- they said they were going to Dandong for a trip and asked me for restaurant recommendations. I told them I hadn’t been back in four years. I told them, “I really don’t know. Maybe you can look up some travel sites?”
C: I’m really afraid to miss a stream. LYN: You mean if you don’t make it in time to watch? Honestly, it’s fine. When I stop streaming there’s always the playback you can watch. Because of some aired dramas or other videos, I have a lot of new fans. I can feel that I have new fans. I’m not talking about the data on my weibo follower count, either. But from what I can feel- including the feedback from my streams or the number of plays on my videos- after YNGS aired I gained at least 500 live fans. At least. 500 live fans- Alive and jumping. If you’re going by follower count, that number really doesn’t have much use. Because there are some people who could be following countless people- it’s just a number. But from what I actually experience and feel, I have 500. C: What, 500? There’s a lot more than that! You have more than that!! LYN: Ah. C: Ning-ge, how could it be 500? You must have 50k! LYN: I don’t care. I feel like it’s 500. It’s enough. Friends, think about it- 500 people. 500 living fans. That’s terrifying. For example- these 500 people go around to topics all around the internet that are about me and leave one comment each. My whole ranking in this industry would rise. Are you kidding me? Think about it- for every video out there, I’d have 500 comments at the least. Do you know what kind of influence that has? Think about how amazing that would be. If we lock these 500 people in a room and have them scream, don’t you think the room would explode? Do you know how loud that would be? So, (500 people) is enough.
C: Ning-ge, I’m a 20yuan fan. LYN: When I came to stream the other day I really had no idea what that meant, because I deleted a lot of the apps I used to browse. I didn’t know what that meant. I’d seen a few topics, but I didn’t know what it means. But after that stream I went to look into it and now I know. It’s that when YNGS was airing, some people spent a good deal of money to have bad things written about me. And among all the chaos, there were still a few people who managed to become my fan. That means that each of those fans are worth 20yuan. Very precious. I think I’ve got the general idea of what it means. C: Ning-ge, as the artist himself, this topic is not good for you to talk about. People are going to hate on you more. LYN: You don’t need to worry about me. I know I said earlier that I feel like I’ve gained 500 fans but I can also feel it when other people purposely try to bring me down. I’m aware. LYN: I used to be on other video platforms, and on B*libili I used to follow an uploader. They would mention me, sometimes. At the time their opinion of me was pretty high. Well, not “high’ but very objective/perfunctory. They neither ridiculed or supported me- very impartial. But after YNGS, they just threw me under. Made a video all about it. And this person hadn’t uploaded in a long time, before that. I was always paying attention, so that I could take a look at their videos, whenever they posted one. It was a long time that they didn’t post, and I finally waited until they finally did, but the whole video was to curse me out. What type of motivation would make them not post for two months, then post only in order to curse me? In that moment, my mood become stable/still again.
LYN: Now I think of it like this. At first when I would see people bringing me down, I would be a little sad. But then I thought about it- and what if I went to find an uploader, and gave them 300rmb to make a video praising me? I’m guessing they would agree. If 300 doesn’t work, then 3,000. If 3k doesn’t work, then 30,000. I’m sure they have a price. There’s no way they wouldn’t. They always have a price. If 30k doesn’t work, would 300k be sufficient to make a video praising LYN? I’m sure it would. LYN: What I’m trying to say here is that these videos can’t represent anything. They don’t represent public opinion or justice. They only represent money. This is just the way online traffic IS.
LYN: So my mood became stable again, and people started to worry for me. You really don’t need to. I’m fine. After all that I’ve been through already, and after learning that I have a new batch of fans, I’m quite happy. Also, my mental state has become stronger. In this industry, if no one is hating on your or cursing you, or targeting you, then that means that you really have no worth. If there are people who like you, there will also be people who hate you. That’s normal. It’s like how some people like eating spicy, and others don’t. It’s a normal thing.

C: Ning-ge can’t see me.  LYN: I can see you. I can see all the comments, I just can’t reply to each one. I’m not actually a customer service agent. It’s not like I HAVE to reply when you have a comment to make. I can see you all.
C: You won’t have insomnia if you drink tea? LYN: I won’t. Because I’m simple-minded. I’m asleep as soon as my head is down. 
C: I’ve sent 800+ comments. LYN: I can see them! I can see them, but for some comments I don’t need to reply. Because they’re… nonsense. /laughs/ Oh, no. I can’t say that! LYN: Because sometimes when you post things, my brain cpu can’t process fast enough. For one- maybe I didn’t understand the comment. Two- my brain froze. Three- perhaps my brain is shrinking? I don’t dare to answer. C: It’s mainly because you can’t answer fast enough. LYN: Yes. I’m trembling with fear. I’m not stupid anymore. Not a complete idiot who says anything without thinking. To say anything on a livestream, especially, is no good. C: I love hearing you make excuses. LYN: /laughs nervously/
C: Ning-ge, can you wish me success on my graduate entrance exam? I feel like your words are lucky. LYN: /laughs/ /sobers/ LYN: You want me to wish you a successful exam, because you think my words come true? Just like how I used to say that my dream was to perform at Spring Festival, and now I’ve finally done it? That whatever I want to be on or do, I succeed at? Is that what you mean? LYN: Am I a wishing well? I’m the tortoise in the wishing well, and if you manage to get the coin into my mouth, you will successfully pass your exam? When I was talking about the acting problem earlier, saying that I die no matter what role I play, there was a comment that unhesitatingly read, “Ning-ge, why don’t you play a turtle? They live for a long time.” I didn’t reply, though I saw the comment, because I was angered into silence. I didn’t reply because I know that there are some antis out there who think I look like a turtle. I didn’t dare to answer because if word got out that I said I wanted to act as a turtle, I thought that would give people material to use against me. I was afraid of that. Who knew that I’ve gone through all these hoops but in the end, someone likens me to a tortoise all the same. They still want to make a wish. LYN: I hope your exam is successful. To all the friends in my stream, if you’re facing an exam, trying to get into university, or starting school soon- I wish you all the best. You’re all amazing. How about this? Today I wish everyone taking tests success. But if you succeed you have to make a post on weibo saying, “I made a wish in LYN’s stream for him to wish me success on my entrance exam and I passed.” You have to let the name of my wishing well be known. Can you do that? If you pass then you have to make a post on weibo to thank me. LYN: I’m not saying that I’m some sort of god, but my stream- this environment- is a place brimming with good spiritual energy. Okay? If you succeed, then make that happen.

C: Ning-ge, I want to make a wish. I hope that you can continue to find work one after another. LYN: /claps/ What a good friend. Making wishes in my stream to wish ME well. You really treat me like family. Thank you so much. It really makes my heart warm. I’m happy. LYN: But I have to say- for the people wishing to pass their exams- not only do you have to make your wish here, you also have to work hard! You have to learn! Do you hear me? Learning/studying is the focus. I’m only here for support. The most important thing is that you make an effort to learn yourself and prepare well.
C: I finally caught a live stream. LYN: Missing my stream is no big deal, because it’s never exciting anyway. It used to be, but I’m afraid to be too exciting these days. If it’s too exciting then I can easily… /deep sigh/.
C: The 书卷一梦 (SJYM/A Dream Within a Dream) weibo account has followed you. LYN: /playing dumb/ What’s that? What do you mean? /biting his nails/ The weibo has followed me? What do you mean? I don’t understand. It’s a “book”? LYN: There’s a book called 书卷一梦, is that it? Oh~  - LYN: I don’t know what you mean… 书卷一梦? Hold on, let me ask my group if we’ve received the script for this. Let me take a look. // What is it? Oh- it looks like it’s trending. Let me see what they’re saying about it. “SJYM has opened their official account and have started following Li Yitong, Liu Yuning, Zhu Xuduan…” What did they follow me for?? XD Why would they do that? - /buffers/ LYN: Should I follow them back, out of politeness? I should follow them back. That’s what I usually do, when someone follows me. I’ll follow them back. LYN: It’s uh… Okay, I’ll stop pretending. I admit it. SJYM has already found me to sing an OST for them. It’s a Linmon production, so when they were making a drama this time around, since I gave them Offer and Don’t Dream of the Cold (YNGS) last time, they’ve booked me to sing an OST for them. I won’t pretend anymore, friends. I confess. The OST is mine and maybe, um.. Yeah. [t/n: the English “yeah” also vaguely sounds like the Chinese “yan” (act)] LYN: You can observe, later they’ll also follow the singers, because one of the first things they do is sign contracts with all the singers. That’s how it works. 
C: Ning-ge, I’m following you. Could you follow me back? LYN: Um.. then, let’s forget it. If people look for me to sing them an OST and I follow them back, it’s only polite, right? If you want me to sing an OST for you, I’ll follow back. 
LYN: ? Is SJYM a guzhuang or a modern drama? I don’t even know myself. Which is it? Or, is it Republican? I don’t know. C: Guzhuang. // You’ll know just by looking at the name… LYN: Oh. I guess it is. It sounds like a guzhuaung drama? /thinks/ I think it’s a modern drama. From the name of the drama you can tell that the lead must be a modern person. It must be a sotry of an alien. Science fiction. If I’m guessing correctly, it must be sci-fi. A record of an alien an their time on Earth. In the end they find out it’s all a dream. LYN: It’s about a girl opening a bookstore. The name of the store is called “Shu Juan” - “Shu Juan Shu Dian”. (Scroll Bookstore) One day while she’s in the shop, she falls asleep. She gets transmigrated into one of the books. When she wakes up she finds out it was all a dream. That must be what the story is about. Then later she’s taken away by aliens.* It’s possible. [*t/n: most times he’s used this euphemism to mean that the character dies, but this time I think he means literal aliens.] LYN: Why don’t I contact the SJYM producers and see if I can cameo. If I have spare the time later on I’ll cameo a scene or two. They’re people I’m familiar with, so I’ll see if I can go cameo. 
LYN: Last July I went to cameo for a drama. It was… one scene. C: Zhe Tian (Blocking the Sky)? LYN: No, I shot that one a long time ago. I cameoed in a different drama. Just one scene, acting as an immortal. C: Can you die within just one scene? LYN: I don’t think so. - LYN: No, it’s not Wonderland of Love. That was more than one scene. I went to cameo in Douluo Continent 2. I went to act as… Hai Shen (Sea God)? Or someone like that? I think it was called Hai Shen. Just one scene. // He counts as an immortal, right? A Sea God? LYN: I only had two lines. “Who would have thought that you would happen upon this place. But as for how to walk the rest of your path, it all depends on you.” “Go, now.”
C: Ning-ge, a god of the sea should be bare, right? LYN: Do you think that a god of the sea should have a trident, be bare on top and have a fish tail on the bottom?? I’ll wear fishtail leggings? Is that what they’re called? Yes- the appearance was like the leggings skirt girls like to wear, and at the bottom near the feet it’s a fish tail. The top is bare, and I’m holding a big fork. To act as a god of the sea. - /still discussing what to call the pants/ C: Are you in the water? LY: No. I’m flying in the sky. Wearing yoga pants and flying in the sky. XD

LYN: They (SJYM) followed me, but didn’t think to tell me beforehand and have left me to fend for myself. They should have said something, like, “Xiao Ning. We’re going to follow you. Sing an OST for us later, ok?” But they didn’t tell me, and just started following. This stream has put me in a... quite awkward situation. I even had to pretend- “What’s SJYM? I’ve never heard of it.” I tried to play it off, but they just straight followed me. This is embarrassing. I feel like I’m lying with my eyes wide open. The thing with lies is it’s not as bad if they’re found out to be a lie later. But right now it’s like slapping myself in the mouth. “Stop lying. /slap!/” That’s the type of thrill we’re going for. We want that rising heartrate.
C: You should be honest when facing the fans. LYN: The problem is that it’s not a matter of “honesty”. I told you before, that I used to come running to tell you about things the moment I had news. Up until the moment I was telling you all about it and that job ended up being snatched away by someone else. I was going to go on a variety show, happily came to tell you all about it, and then it was taken by someone else. From that moment on I knew- unless it was set in stone, I wouldn’t tell you about these things anymore. I still remember that person who took the job from me. So bad. They’re the worst artist I’ve encountered in this industry. I’m not angry because they took my work, but because the person who connected them to the show started rumors to smear me and in the end that artist ended up with the job. But after that I haven’t heard a thing about that show. C: Who is it? LYN: I won’t tell you. Wait until I’m sixty. I’ll expose them then. I’m sure you’ve all heard this person’s name. But wait until I’m sixty to find out. It was pretty despicable, what they did. They found another guest on the show, because they didn’t have enough influence themselves, so they found a different guest cast. They told them, “I want to be on this show.” “Oh? Then come.” “But the capacity is full.” What could they do? That other guest went to the producers and told them they didn’t want to work with an “Internet Famous” celebrity. “I don’t want to work with LYN. I don’t want to shoot a show with an “internet famous” person.” It wasn’t only that, either. As an artist I’m sure they had connections, right? They started spreading rumors to the directors. The person who introduced me to the show was a gege, and later I asked them what was up? because he’s the one who asked me to be on it but then I was kicked off. They said, “You sure are something. You asked the program for 3M rmb an episode?” I said, “Am I CRAZY?? Why would I ask for 3M to shoot an episode? Do you think I’m insane?” He replied, “Then why did the crew say that?” I just said, “Forget it. I don’t care if they give me 3M or 30M, I won’t go.” LYN: That’s the only person in this industry that I hate. So annoying. C: Who is it?!? LYN: I’ll expose them when I’m sixty.
C: Ning-ge, you say you’ll expose them at sixty. But based on your current age, you don’t have that much time left. It’ll be exposed soon. LYN: … LYN: It’s okay. Whatever. That person isn’t doing better than I am right now, anyway.
C: Is this hair real? LYN: This is my real hair, yes. 
bgm: 如果爱还记得 (If Love Still Remembers) [Wonderland of Love OST]
LYN: ?! Today isn’t the Lantern Festival, is it? Isn’t it tomorrow? Right? I think it’s tomorrow, if I’m remembering correctly. Right? It’s tomorrow.
-- 笑红尘 (Laughing at the Mundane World) LYN: I came in late! Sorry, let me do that again. I saw someone wanted to hear this song.
-- 冥冥有声 (Unseen Sound) [Ultimate Note OST] LYN: I haven’t sung this one in a long time. It’s one I’ve promised to sing for you, but I haven’t in a long time. Let me look up the lyrics. It’s been too long. Let me look up the lyrics, because my computer program doesn’t have it. LYN: What do you think of the new mic, friends? I don’t know, because I haven’t adjusted the sound settings. I thought it would be too late if I did. I’ll adjust them later. Was it okay? Then, I’ll sing another.
-- 红尘客栈 (Red Dust Inn) - Jay Chou - /cracks on a high note/ /stops immediately/ LYN: … The mic just broke for a second. New equipment always needs an acclimation period, for me to get used to it. The mic broke for a second and it lagged. /clears his throat/ New equipment is unstable, friends. Forgive it. It lagged. Let me try that again. LYN: /to the mic/ Be obedient! - /starts over, interpretive dance version?/ - /it was going well, until-/ LYN: … It lagged again. So badly that it made me sing out of tune. This microphone sure isn't stable, friends. Tsk. You can never trust an electronic too much. They’re really unstable. C: Embarrassing, truly. LYN: “Embarrassing” isn’t a word in my dictionary. Because I don’t have a dictionary. I’m illiterate. LYN: I blame this new mic. C: Ning-ge, the problem wasn’t with your mic, it’s with me. My internet lagged. LYN: Oh… So many people in my stream lagged at the same time? That’s amazing. C: Ning-ge, that was a flop. Why can’t you admit it? LYN: … The type of people who can say these things are the new friends. Because, as I already said, that’s an effect for my stream. If you’re really taking it seriously then you’re taking the fun out of it. It’s not worth it.
LYN: I see a bunch of tracks on my computer, so I was thinking of which one I could sing… There’s also this! - /断缘诀 (Bid Farewell) [God of Lost Fantasy OST]/ [t/n: This is one of my favorites!] LYN: Do you know what song this is? Oh- you know because I still have the captions on. I recorded this song when I first debuted. This was the cheapest OST I’ve ever done since starting. There was no helping it, because at that time my quality wasn’t the greatest. I recorded this song during in stream. Using this mic. /picks up his red one/
C: How much? LYN: What’s it to you? That’s a bad habit. You can’t just keep asking other people what their salary is. Go out on the street right now, to a random person and say, “Hey- let me interview you. How much do you make a month?” What business is it of yours??
C: This song is one of my pearls! LYN: What does that mean- a “pearl that went unnoticed”? It’s a song that went unrecognized by many, but it’s a really great song. But the me now- I can’t say that my singing skills have declined, but the me then had a higher pitch. I had a huskier voice, so it was suited for singing this song. Now... I can’t really do it. My pitch isn’t as great as it was before. I don’t think I can sing this song. - /sings a bit/ LYN: It’s already so high. This is almost B, oh my god. LYN: I’ll give it a try. Later if I crack or can’t hit the right key, friends, you have to type into the comments that ‘It’s lagging! It’s lagging. What’s happening, Ning-ge?” Do some damage control for me, okay?
C: You’re aging. LYN: It has nothing to do with age. I’m better than I was before. I’m at my strongest now. This is the best time. LYN: Hold on, let me find some shades. Then later when I crack, I can use them to hide my shame. Wait for me a sec. I’ll be quick. LYN: … Friends, you don’t have to say it’s lagging before I even start. There’s no need for that. I haven’t even started singing yet. // ? These glasses are a bit crooked? -- 断缘诀 (Bid Farewell) [God of Lost Fantasy OST] LYN: Thank you. C: You just stumbled on one word. LYN: I didn’t have enough strength left. Didn’t I say earlier that I was at my best now? C: Old but still vigorous. (宝刀未老) Hale and hearty despite the years. (老当益壮) LYN: Mm. I see that you’re using these idioms to play with me, again. C: It didn’t lag at all. LYN: It did a little. It’s okay. It’s not important. 
----- break #2-- 撞地球 (Earth Collision) by Yu Er Qi [t/n: the snot special effect X’D]
LYN: Last time I wore this hat, that people seemed to like a lot. This one.

LYN: Oh, I saved myself from wearing one. It covers my whole head.  LYN: This one is pretty fun.

C: Ning-ge, last time you streamed you sprained your ankle. Is it better now? LYN: It’s okay now. I’ve recovered. 
C: I want to hear 就在江湖之上 (Above the Jianghu). LYN: Let’s do it. But today my internet is not very good- it lags. I have a new mic, too. It easily… it easily lags. -- 就在江湖之上 (Above the Jianghu) - /suddenly gets up and out of frame/ - /comes back with ~something~. It’s a prop sword!/ - [t/n: how loud is he singing/good is that mic for him to be standing up and away from it and still be heard???]
C: Did you drink too much? LYN: /playing with the snot filter, still/ LYN: This must be a new friend. You must not have seen my previous streams. I’ve already restrained myself a lot more than I previously have. You are clearly new here. I used to go much harder than this. This is nothing.
C: I watched the last time and it was quite frightening. LYN: The last time I even twisted my ankle. At least today my movements weren’t as big. Last time I played it too big and twisted my ankle. This time is okay- (I didn’t hurt myself.)
C: You sang halfway and then disappeared! LYN: I went to grab a prop. Just singing isn’t enough anymore. It needs to be like a stage play, now. I need to make you feel like you’re watching an mv. - /tries to copy the MLC mv and pours tea on himself/chokes on it/ LYN: You have to sing and pour into your mouth at the same time… - C: The sound of the sword is so satisfying. LYN: This? /pulls and re-sheathes it/ - LYN: Hold on, let me wipe my snot. /removes the filter/ It’s clean now. - LYN: The main lead of this drama is called Li Lianhua, right? I’m Liu Lianou. (lotus root) Today we cosplay as Liu Lianou. XD 
C: We’re going to be spending the new year, soon. LYN: Friends, before the new year hits, I’ll stop streaming first. I don’t have the habit of spending the new year anymore. I don’t want to spend the new year. I’ll be leaving first, friends. I hope you have a good Lantern Festival. I hope you can be happy. If you still haven’t subscribed to my weibo, please do so. Now I will gift you with a nice song. -- 过年的歌 (New Year's Song) LYN: Happy Lantern Festival. LYN: Alright. I guess that counts as having spent the new year with you today. LYN: Thank you for you company. If you still have not subscribed to my weibo, please do so. I am Modern Brothers Liu Yuning.

C: Wait until 40million (viewers). LYN: Ok. I’ll wait until then. - /starts reciting his YNGS lines bc of the bgm: “I don’t owe the State of Wu anything. See you never.”/
LYN: It’s rare that I stream past 12a, today. I don’t think our drama notice has been posted. It’s not up yet, so I’m waiting for it. When it’s about time, I’ll stop streaming. I want to thank you for keeping me company tonight. But honestly, I do want to stream a little more. Let me check-
C: Sing another song. LYN: /gulps/ LYN: Let’s do it! C: 别梦寒 (Don’t Dream of the Cold) LYN: I haven’t sung that before. I haven’t sung this before, do you want to know why? Friends, you know why. It’s too hard to sing. There’s no other reason- it’s just too difficult to sing. -- 别梦寒 (Don’t Dream of the Cold) [YNGS OST] LYN: I couldn’t really do it. Next time when I have some more strength I’ll sing it again for you. 
C: I also want to hear Qilin (麒麟). LYN: Do you think I would be able to, in my current state? - /recites the lyrics/ LYN: It’s been a while for Qilin though, right? The rap song I’ve been listening to nowadays is… “什么叫天花板 我比烟花闪...” Have you heard that one? (Burn Me Down - Hanji) C: Let’s hear it. LYN: Hmm. C: I haven’t heard of it. LYN: If you haven’t, then forget it.
bgm: 如果爱还记得 (If Love Still Remembers) [Wonderland of Love OST]
C: Female artist Daimi’s manager has been suppressing her. LYN: Daimi’s not in Hengdian for the next couple of days. I sent her for some work. She’s not in Hengdian. I had her sent for a trim in Hangzhou, because there’s not any good places for pet grooming in Hengdian. She can come back with a whole new look to face 2024 with. LYN: When she’s back I’ll take a beauty shot of her and post it to the fan group for you.
C: My son is learning 莫问前程 (Don’t Ask About the Future). LYN: Nice. That means the kid really has potential. It’s actually a pretty nice sounding song, so you can listen to it more.
LYN: It’s about time, right? Let me check. How about I don’t set a goal for when I stop streaming. Let’s set a time- how about 1:30a? No, wait! 12:30a! I’ll stop streaming at 12:30a exactly. Let’s chat for another few minutes. Alright? We can chat some more. LYN: Not 1:30a, but 12:30a. My apologies. LYN: 12:30a is good enough.
C: What’s with the pictures you posted of Daimi, with 3 and 6? LYN: It didn’t have any meaning. I just grabbed a handful of the snacks she usually eats. It didn’t have any meaning. You guys are amazing for trying to solve the mystery of that post. There wasn’t anything behind it. [t/n: this post: https://weibo.com/5456865382/NEGXzwbH5 ; people were speculating we would stream on the 3rd of February at 6pm.]
LYN: Since it’s this time, I should also check-in to my Super Topic. LYN: Let me play some quieter music, since it’s late at night and we’re about ready to sleep. I’ll play something that makes you want to sleep. Something soft, so we can all rest later. bgm: 隆里电丝 (lonely dance) - 盛宇DamnShine ft Key.L刘聪 C: Whenever Ning-ge says that, I know I should turn my volume down. LYN: You sure know me. This is an old friend. You already know my tricks.
LYN: ! Earlier there was a friend who kept asking if I could pick up the guitar and play you a song. - /starts playing some notes/ LYN: ? It’s out of tune. LYN: /laughs/ I haven’t even started singing yet and you’re already typing the lyrics into the comments. That’s too disrespectful, isn’t it?? I haven’t even started singing yet. You can’t disrespect me like that. [t/n: idk what he said after that. Something about only knowing how to play a couple songs on the guitar, anyway?] LYN: ? How do you play this song, I forgot! LYN: Ok! Here we go, for real this time!! -- 擁抱 (Embrace)- 五月天Mayday - /cracks/ /stops immediately/ LYN: 😐 LYN: I also know another one. Let’s try again. -- 喜歡你 [t/n: ? I don’t know Cantonese, sorry. :(] LYN: I also know another one. /plays some chords/ Let me think. /sings/ I don’t think that’s right. That’s not right. LYN: Let me try a different one. This time I’ll do it properly. One that I need to look up lyrics for. Properly, this time. -- 忽然之间 (Suddenly) - Karen Mok LYN: All the ones before was setting up for this song. LYN: Everybody! - /stops/ LYN: I haven’t adjusted my equipment yet. Hold on… -- 你要跳舞吗 (Would You Like To Dance) - 新褲子New Pants LYN: Thank you!
LYN: After listening to that, don’t you feel like sleeping? Are you sleepy, friends? LYN: Let me find another quieter song and we’ll start wrapping up. -- 麒麟 (Qilin) - Zao An
LYN: Friends, after hearing that, don’t you just want to sleep? Right? It feels like sleep is just overtaking you, right? LYN: I hope you had a relaxing, happy, and wonderful night. It was great to have you and I hope you had fun. Let’s meet again in the next stream, friends. If you still have not subscribed to my weibo, please do so. I am Modern Brothers Liu Yuning. Good night!

// DATE // 26th of November 2022 // PAIRING // Dreamwastaken x fem!reader // WARNING // angst, heartbreak, fluff, alcohol, song-based, happy ending, just in case a trigger warning; Techno is in this // WORDS // 6,6k+ // SUMMARY // a year ago Dream broke up with you. He never told you why. It hurt you so much. You weren't sure how to handle it. So with the help of Wil, you write a song about it. You wrote it to get over him, but what if he wants to try again?
Author note: This was meant for a book, that is not fan fiction. But I wasn't sure how to make it into a "normal" book. So now it's for you guys to enjoy.
 // MASTERLIST // ANONLIST //
Tumblr media
Wilbur started his stream like usual. I sat near, just out of sight of the camera. My leg bounced up and down. I was so nervous. Wil had been announcing a new song being released today, for the past month. What fans didn't know was who the song was with. It was going to stay that way as far as real names go.
"Okay! So chat!" Wil starts, glancing over at me for a second. "As you can probably tell, I am somewhere unfamiliar to you guys," he paused, gesturing all around him. Looking at chat, he read as many of the guesses from the thousands of viewers as he could. "You're all wrong," he says bluntly, a smirk playing on his lips. A laugh nearly slipped from my own. Wil turned his smirk in my direction when he noticed me struggling to keep it in. "I am actually in Florida!" he announces. Instantly I started to see chat fill with his name. The smile that was on my face, faltered just a bit. "Nope, not at Dreams. I am at another friend's place and we have an announcement. Would you like to do the honours, Y/u/n?"
"I- wha- me?" I stutter, not expecting him to throw me under the bus like this.
"Yeah, come on, tell chat what's happening today!"
"Uhm, okay..," I swallow my nervousness quickly. "So, as Wil has been saying, there is a new song," I start, looking at Wil for confirmation. He nods, telling me to continue. "I wrote this song with some encouragement from Wil. The reason I wrote this song is... Well. I was hung up on a breakup. Yeah, I know, I am dramatic," I chuckle, Wil doing the same. "Anyway! This song is for me to get over this and hopefully it will help others too!"
"Exactly, cause believe it or not, today is the day the breakup happened a year ago. And this little lady is still hooked up on this game."
"Hey!" I pout, smacking his arm softly. "He was a great guy! You know I'm trying not to, but I still love him."
"I know," Wil says. "But from today on you're moving forward, correct?" I nod a smile back on my lips. "You can't see but she's nodding," he tells chat, making me giggle. "Now," he claps. "Let's actually play the song!" grabbing his guitar he checks it before looking at me. "You ready to do this?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," I tell him, adjusting in my seat a bit. Making sure the mic is in the right position. Wil starts playing, looking at me when it's my time to start.
I’ve been trying not to think about it, I can’t help it I know you don’t want to hear from me, but I am selfish It kills me inside, you can drink on Friday nights Not even pick up the phone It amazes me, you moved on so easily From someone that you once called home
I sang nervously, tho the stare Wil gave me boosted me with confidence. It felt so good to sing this song. I tried not to focus on the chat. Not wanting to feel discouraged or get distracted. 
I wish you had enough discipline For the both of us Just because I don’t know how to Turn off the way I feel I know you always fell out of love So damn easily But honestly, I don’t think you ever Had something real Until you met me, drinks in New york city Oh, you looked so pretty Think I fell in love before I even  knew your birthday Kissed you on our first date Somehow I knew someday This would hurt ‘cause I could  Never let you go Oh, I’ll spend my whole life Missing a part of me, part of me Oh, I’ll spend my whole life Hoping your heart is free, heart is free
I finished my part receiving an encouraging smile from Wil before he starts with his part.
I’ve been trying not to think of  This as something tragic ‘Cause our two paths might Cross again Crazier things have happened And I realized lightning strikes just Once not twice And shooting stars are burning rocks So I spend months inside, Drowning in these dreams of mine Wondering if I’m worth your thoughts I wish you had enough discipline for The both of us Just because I don’t know how to Turn off the way I feel I know you always fell out of love so easily,  but honestly, I don’t think you ever  had something real
Wil finishes and looks at me and we continue together.
Until you met me, drinks in New York City Oh, you looked so pretty Think I fell in love before I even knew Your birthday Kissed you on our first date Somehow I knew someday This would hurt ‘cause I could Never let you go
Taking over I continue.
Oh, I’ll spend my whole life Missing a part of me, part of me Oh, I’ll spend my whole life Hoping you’re heart is free, heart is free Do you not dream of me? ‘Cause I have visions in my sleep I can’t ever find me peace now Do you wake up alone And feel an aching in your bones? Or are you happy without me now? The first time that you told me You thought that you loved me That bar in the city I thought you were drunk But I knew deep down that you meant it Wish that I had said it I was scared to let it happen But it happened and now I cannot forget it Oh I’ll spend my whole life Missing a part of me, part of me Oh, I’ll spend my whole life Hoping your heart is free, heart is free
We finished the song. Staying in silence just for a bit.
"That was great! I am so proud of you, Y/u/n!" Wil says holding up his hand for a high five. I high-fived him, giggling softly. The praise raised a blush on my cheeks.
"Thank you, I couldn't have done it without you."
"Nah, you could have," he grins grabbing both our water bottles and handing me mine. "Tell me chat! What did you guys think? Do you have any questions?" Wil asked once he finished drinking. Focusing on the chat as messages flood in.
Who is the song about?
Wil read out the question that caught his eye, turning to me. He waited for my answer.
"I can't tell you who it's about exactly. Can't really expose him like that," I answer honestly.
"Yeah, we probably shouldn't," Wil chuckled. "Do you think - if he listened - Do you think he would recognize your voice?"
"He could, I guess. I have sung for and with him before. Though he could have forgotten what I sound like. I mean, it has been a year."
"That is true," Wil mumbles again, pulling a thinking face.
Could you tell us about that bar in New York City?
"I guess I could. Though, it's not actually about a bar in New York City. The name of the bar is New York City," I chuckle. "Do you mind? It could take a while?" I ask Wil.
"Yeah, go ahead, I don't know the story behind the bar either. I have to say that I am quite curious myself."
"Alright. Well, I knew this person since high school. We weren't friends but we did speak occasionally. I did already like him in high school but I never thought I would be his type," I start the back story. "Besides, he had relationship after relationship. I don't mean in a playboy kind of way. He isn't the playboy type. I guess his relationships just never worked out. Anyways, that's where I knew him from," I pause for a moment, gathering my thoughts. "So, fast forward a few years. We had both finished high school and doing whatever after. I ended up not going to college. I chose to pursue my music. Hence the song," I chuckle at the obviousness of it. "So, after a long day at my job, writing songs all day. I needed a break. Doing so by going to my favourite bar, New York City. I was sitting at the bar just drinking my (f/(a)/d) when he noticed me and came over. He asked if I was me," I giggled at the way I was explaining it, shaking my head. "I, of course, recognized him immediately. I mean who forgets their high school crush. We got to talking, quickly exchanged phone numbers and got pretty drunk together. We clicked quite well and I loved spending time with him. We joked about this being our unexpected first date while we talked about doing this again sometime. I told him that if it was, he should be a gentleman and escort me home safely. He had wheezed but nodded nonetheless. Telling me he would make sure I got safe and sound," I couldn't help but smile at the memory. "He kept his word and at about midnight, he called a taxi and brought me home. I was quite thankful and with the alcohol in my system. I risked it all for a biscuit and kissed him. Just like the song says, I fell in love before I even knew his birthday," I giggle once again, only this time it sounded clogged. My voice quivered a bit when the tears that formed in my eyes from the memory, caught up with me. "Sorry, I'm getting emotional," I quickly wiped my tears, sniffing. I felt arms wrap around me, I knew it was Wil.
"Hey, it's okay," he spoke softly as he comforted me. One hand caressed my back while the other was entangled in my hair. My head in his chest.
"I'm ruining your shirt," I muttered, my voice muffled by the fabric of his shirt.
"That's alright, you need this hug," Wil chuckled gently. "You know, I gotta say. That's a really cute way to meet someone. And fall for someone. The guy is an idiot for letting you go."
"You act like you don't know him," I chuckle.
"I just wish I knew why he would end it."
"You and me both."
After I had calmed down we put our attention back on the stream. Answered a few more questions. Wil linked and announced all my socials and provided the link to our song Crazier Things on Spotify before he ended the stream.
"Alright, it is-" Wil looks at the clock on the monitor. "Almost 8 pm, I should go to you know where."
"I know. Sorry that the stream took so long because of my long-ass answers. Not to mention my emotional breakdown," I chuckled. "You could have gone to his place already."
"Hey don't apologize for that. If I wanted to end earlier I would have," Wil shut down the PC. We made our way out of my spare bedroom. Grabbing his coat I handed it to him.
"You're staying the night at his right?" I ask to be sure I remembered it right.
"Yeah, I'll be back around noon tomorrow most likely. Then I also want you to show me that bar of yours!" chuckling at his excitement for it, I nod my head.
"Alright, I will! Now go on, have fun but be careful, okay!" I told him as I quite literally pushed him out the front door. "If you do end up needing me, just call me."
"Yes, yes, bye now!" With that, I close the front door. Being alone for the night. 'Happy birthday, Clay.'
Tumblr media
"Wil!" Phil called out when he walked into the Dream teams living room. "I saw the stream! That song is so beautiful, mate!"
"Thank you," Will smiled. "The stream was also why I was a little later."
"Yeah, we watched it here," Techno said from his spot on another part of the L-shaped couch pointing at the tv that now just displayed the twitch logo. 
"Yeah, Clay ran off like right after too. Talking about needing some air."
"Seems pretty obvious why," Will said getting confused looks from the other two in the room. "You do realize that song is about him right."
"All the hints you had dropped. The both of you talked about it so much. You showed us just a section of the song," Techno mumbled thinking to himself as he tried to make logic out of it. Nick, who had let Will in, walked back into the living room. Handing out new beers for everyone. Including the two currently not in the room.
"Wait! That was Y/n?" Phil asked shocked.
"Well, yeah, how did you not know," he chuckles. "Who have I been helping the past 8 months? Who do we know that loves to write songs and sing? And has sung for us before, might I add."
"All the hints you had dropped. The both of you talked about it so much. You showed us just a section of the song," Techno mumbled thinking to himself as he tried to make logic out of it. Nick, who had let Will in, walked back into the living room. Handing out new beers for everyone. Including new ones for the two currently not in the room.
"I'm guessing George went to talk to Clay?" He asked no one in particular.
"Yeah," Techno answered him. "I wonder why he ran off tho. Sure, the song is about him, but it's not like the song was portraying him in a bad light."
"I don't know, maybe he feels guilty?" Nick said, confused about the situation himself.
"Wait, does that mean not even you know why he broke up with Y/n?" Phil asked the important question. A question Wil very much wanted the answer to.
"No," He stated bluntly. "We just assumed something suddenly happened between the two. It was like it happened overnight," Nick explains, taking a sip from his beer. "We were here having fun on his birthday and the next day she was gone. We didn't see or hear from her. Clay didn't talk about it either. so we waited till he was ready to tell us about what happened," he sighed. "All he ended up telling us was that she wouldn't be coming here anymore. No explanation whatsoever. And that was 2 months after."
"Woah, of all people, I thought he would have told you and George. I mean, you guys live together! Y/n basically lived here with you," Techno said, very confused why Clay wouldn't tell anyone the reason. It was silent for a little while after that.
The talking only started back up when George and Clay came back from where ever the two had been. Clay complimented Wil on the song with a hint of sadness lingering in his voice. Though, at the moment Wil decided not to comment on it. Instead, deciding to let the party become less tense. Suggesting playing a game.
They ended up playing an Uno drinking game. Everyone quickly became tipsy and the living room filled with laughter. Music softly playing in the background. Not too loud not too soft.
After a while, they stopped. Putting on a comedy show by Daniel Sloss. The humour was dark but oh-so-good. Wil couldn't focus on it though. He had a question rolling around in his head. It had been doing so for a while now. He was not leaving this place without answers, that's for sure.
"Alright," Wil spoke, catching the attention of everyone in the room. "I am sorry. I am not trying to ruin the mood. But I have to know," he said looking straight at Caly who was sitting on the outside corner of the couch. Tension instantly filled the air as most caught on to what was going to happen.
"Know what?" Clay asks, faking oblivion. He could already guess what the question would be. The question is, was he ready to talk about it.
"What was the reason?" Wil asked. "Like, don't get me wrong, but it was so sudden for everyone," he added, letting it sink for a second. "Why did you break up with Y/n?" he asks again when he didn't get a response. Clay's attention had slowly shifted to the carpet. Finding it more interesting than were the conversation was going.
"I would rather not talk about it," he confessed, his voice a little above whisper. He hadn't told anyone the reason. He didn't think he was ready to tell 5 of his friends right this second.
"You've got to talk about it at some point. It's been a year," George spoke from the recliner next to him.
George and Nick had definitely noticed a difference in Clay before and after the breakup. He was still clay, just less happy.
"Your reason won't change the way we look at you," Nick told him in reassurance. "It is honestly just so confusing. George and I didn't want to push you into talking about it. But we're your best friends. Please remember that."
"I know," Clay sighed. "Can we just say I was an idiot and not talk about it," he ends up saying. Looking around the room, but not making eye contact with anyone. His eyes then go straight to his lap. Focused on playing with the hem of his green hoodie.
"Why would you be an idiot?" Phil asks concerned. The fact that he thinks he's an idiot makes the situation all the more confusing.
"I-" He let out a sigh, throwing his head back. Trying to convince himself it was okay. He is with a close group of friends. He can trust them. "I actually broke up with her after I let a joke Wil made get to me."
"Excuse me. What?" Nick broke the silence that followed the confession.
"I don't remember the joke exactly. But it was something along the lines of Y/n cheating on me."
"You mean to tell me I've spent months taking care of Y/n from the UK. All because of a fucking joke I made!" It wasn't even a question. It was a statement. Wil was so aggravated at this discovery. The room was silent once again.
"I'm sorry," came from Clay, his hands covering his face as tears started to block his vision. His voice was croaky. "I got scared of getting hurt by the one person I actually saw myself having a future with," the anger that ran through Wil's veins quickly got replaced with confusion and concern.
"What?" he asked quietly.
"The song explains a lot," wiping at his eyes. Clay takes a deep breath, calming himself down. "The first time that you told me, you thought that you loved me. That bar in the city. I thought you were drunk but I knew deep down that you meant it. Wish that I had said it. I was scared to let it happen. But it happened and now I cannot forget it," he quotes the song with ease. "On our 1-year anniversary date, I told her that I loved her. As the song says, she didn't say it back. Which is fine, she should have to feel forced to say it back," he explains. "But months went by and I said it, every once and a while. She never said it back," looking up at Wil. "So, on my birthday, when you made that joke. All that went through my head was that maybe you were right. What if she was already cheating on me. She never told me she loved me because she had someone else besides me," he took a deep breath before continuing. "I ended it before I could find it whether it was true or not. When I did, that's when she told me she loved me."
"No," George mumbled. Every time Y/n spoke about Clay she would always shove an 'I love him' in the conversation. It always made Nick and him tease her for it. They knew how very much in love the two were with each other.
"We genuinely thought she had already told you," Nick said shaking his head slightly in disbelief. "She told us all the time that she loved you."
"Really?" Clay couldn't believe his ears. "I guess I really am an idiot huh?" shaking his head, he threw his head back. Slumping against the couch. "I lost the love of my life because I am an idiot."
"Who says you lost her," Techno spoke up. Everyone turned to look at him. Curious about where he was going with this. "Wil, Phil and I are still in contact with her. I am sure she would love to talk to you. We all know her well enough to know she would hear you out."
"I literally dumped her without telling her why. Why would she want to talk to me."
"Because she still loves you," Phil says matter-of-factly. "The song even talks about your paths crossing again, as crazier things have happened," hope started to fill him just slightly at the possibility.
Tumblr media
The next morning I woke up to my violently vibrating phone under my pillow. Shuffling around I try to find it. Answering without looking.
"Hello..?" I croak tiredly.
"Morning, Y/n," Wil's voice comes from the other end of the phone.
"How are you up this early? Shouldn't you be hungover or something?" I mumble slowly pushing myself up in bed. Now leaning against the headboard. I rub my eyes to wake myself up more.
"Y/n, it's almost 2 pm, what do you mean early?" He chuckles. I could just tell he was shaking his head.
"Where are you? I thought you were supposed to come here?" I ask, taking the phone away from my head, and putting it on speaker. Getting up off the bed I walk over to my closet.
"I'm on my way to New York City," he says sounding excited. "One of the guys offered to take me there. So, I will see you there, okay?"
"Yeah, sure, okay," I answered while struggling to put on a tight pair of black high-waisted jeans. "I'll try not to make you wait too long. You can always order something to drink while you wait."
"Yeah, we'll do that before they leave."
"Alright! I'll see you in a bit then!" With a quick bye Wil hangs up the phone and I focus on getting ready. Though in the back of my mind I found it very suspicious how Wil spoke about the person who brought him to the bar.
Parking the car in the last free parking spot behind the bar. I try to ignore the car next to me. 'It's definitely not his car,' I think to myself. Shaking my head I grab my handbag and head to the front door. Looking back just once like I was expecting the car to suddenly change colour or something. I open the door, the small bell ringing as I walk in.
"Y/n!" Wil said with excitement as he came over immediately. Too close for a normal conversation and too stiff like he was trying to block my view from something.
"Hey, Wil," you don't look like you've been drinking last night at all," I chuckle ignoring the way he's acting at the moment. I could always ask him about it later.
"Well, we were up pretty early," he says with that cute grin of his. "Go sit at the bar I'll be right back," he says while grabbing my shoulders. Turning me around to face the bar. Looking over my shoulder, I give him a confused look.
"You're acting weird, Wil," I tell him, tho I do follow his request and make my way to sit at my 'usual' stool. Before I can turn to find out where Wil is going, my attention shifts to the bartender. Someone, I am all too familiar with.
"Well, hello there, Y/n," Lenny said with a grin. "I haven't seen you in a long time! What can I get you? Your usual?"
"Woah! Lenny, you still work here? And yes, please," the smile on my face matches his. "I am surprised you still know who I am," I chuckle. Like he said, I hadn't been here in a while. The last time I visited was at a moment of weakness 3 months ago.
"How could I not," he says setting down my (f/a/d). "You and Clay came here basically every Friday! Where is that boy of yours anyways?" Just like the last time he asked where Clay was. That time I was able to think of a fake reason why he couldn't be there.
"I- we- well-" now, I was just a stuttering mess. Unsure of how to tell him that we had broken up ages ago. But my stuttering gets cut off by another voice and the stool next to me moving.
"I am right here," Clay's voice surprises me. Looking up at him, there is a gentle smile on his face. He hasn't looked my way yet, though.
"Ah! Still together I see!" Lenny laughs, giving Clay his usual drink. Not even having to ask what it was. Neither of us corrects Lenny on his assumption. Why Clay wouldn't correct him has me lost, in every sense of the word.
"Thank you, Lenny!" He says, turning to look at me his smile softens but it's definitely still there. "Can you give us a moment?" He asks Lenny after turning back to him.
"Of course, of course!" He answers quickly and walks over to the other side of the bar. Picking up a conversation with another regular. I was utterly perplexed when I looked away from Lenny and back to Clay. We sat in silence, neither of us probably having any idea what to say. The only thing I was sure of was that Wil was behind this setup. But why? It didn't make sense to me. Clay hates me, he thought I cheated!
After taking a sip of his drink, Clay lets out a sigh. Turning his gaze to look at me. Or eyes briefly meet, but I look away, unable to look at him. I didn't want to get lost in his eyes like I used to. Besides I could already feel my emotion start to bubble up.
"Y/n, I know that I am probably way too late to tell you this," he starts off, the smile completely gone. Now replaced with a serious yet sincere look. "But I am so sorry," my eyes snap to meet his. I had no idea what to say or do. 'Should I even say anything or should I let him continue?' I decide on the latter and gave him a nod in acknowledgement. "I never told you why, nor anyone else for that matter and I felt, still do actually, feel like the biggest idiot in existence," he played with his glass a little. Something I knew he did if he was thinking about what and how to say it next. His elbow leaned on the bar, his head resting against his hand. He wasn't looking at me anymore but I knew it was because he was scared of my reaction. "Yesterday, a year ago, Wil made a joke," he says slowly. "I knew it couldn't be true, but I let it get to me. I didn't want to get hurt since I loved you more than I ever thought I could. So that night I broke up with you," he looked back at me. His eyes let me know just how sincere he was saying that. He cups the left side of my face hesitantly. With his thumb, he wipes away a tear I didn't know had fallen from my eye.
"So..," my voice sounded a little clogged from being my emotional self. I had hoped for this moment for so long. Just to know what the reason was. "Uhm, I am not sure what to say," I mumbled looking away from his eyes, trying to stop myself from leaning into his hand. Along with trying not to cry more. The comfort of his touch was still all too familiar. "I guess, thank you for telling me," I sniffed. "I want you to know that I never cheated on you and I never would."
"I know," he softly lifts my head up, making me look at him. "And I know it's far-fetched," he sighs somewhat lovingly. "Would you consider starting over?"
"But you just said 'loved'. W-why would you- I- wha?" I couldn't put into words how I was feeling at the moment. Sure, my heart started to flutter at the thought of getting back together. But I was making progress, was I not? I was supposed to move on from him now. Not let my love for him take over my life anymore. "D-don't get me wrong! I mean, I didn't write a song about you if I was actually, you know, over you. But I am very confused?" Ending the sentence questioningly to further prove my point of confusion. Loads of hand gestures. None of which add to the conversation as I scramble with my thoughts and words. Clay chuckles softly, moving both his hands to mine. Holding them delicately.
"I know, I'm sorry," he says gently. "The thing is. The reason that I am hoping you'll give me another chance is that I regret breaking up with you. I have since the moment I did it. You told me you loved me then and I could tell you were sincere. I could tell you meant it," his voice is filled with so much emotion. My eyes water, thinking back on that day. "I blamed myself for not being patient enough and letting a joke get to me," he looks down at our hands. His hand playing with a simple ring that sits on my left ring finger. It was actually a ring he had given to me. From the moment he gave it to me I had never taken it off. I have been wearing it for a solid 2 years now. "I felt so guilty after I sent you home. I knew you weren't lying when you told me you loved me. I shut down, and locked myself up in my room, for 2 months. Worried the hell out of Nick and George," he chuckles softly to lighten the mood a little. Looking back into my eyes. I notices even he had tears pooling on his water line. "And I never even told them why I did what I did. Up until last night," my eyes widen at the confession. 'No one knew? Did he really feel that guilty and embarrassed that he felt he couldn't even tell his two best friends?'.
"Let me guess, Wil asked why?" I asked knowingly, rolling my eyes. I knew he wanted to know why so badly. He needed to know if Clay deserved all my tears.
"Yep, and I didn't wanna answers at first," Clay confesses. "But they were patient with me and actually very understanding."
"I mean, they might be idiots but they are still your friends," I chuckled tearfully.
"That, they are, sometimes I don't think I deserve them," he sighs softly, though it was a sigh of contentment, not of annoyance. "They are the ones who helped me figure out how I could talk to you and hopefully make amends," he said with a gentle smile playing on his lips. "Wil told me you were gonna show him our bar, and that set it in motion."
"I guess my mind wasn't playing tricks on me when I saw your car in the parking lot," I couldn't help but giggle. Wiping gently at my eyes, I rub away any tear tracks. Grabbing my drink, I take hold of one of his hands again, taking a sip. "And you were hiding in here while Wil told me to go sit at the bar. You know, it was very obvious he was hiding something," Clay chuckled, nodding as he agreed with me. It helped him lighten up.
"But it worked and I am very happy you didn't decide to just run off when you saw me."
"I could never," I said with a teasing smile on my lips. "Even though the song was to help me move on from you. Our paths have crossed again," I could tell from him slightly shifting in his seat that he had gotten nervous again. "I would like to start over," I down the rest of my drink and get up. Not giving him time to say anything. I walk out the door of the bar. I grin to myself while my back is turned. I wait for the door to close behind me. Turning back around I walk straight back in. I look around like I'm looking for a place to sit. Moving my gaze to Clay, I noticed a confused look on his face. "Hi, is this seat taken?" a little flabbergasted, Clay shakes his head and chuckles.
"No, go ahead," he then says, gesturing to the stool. Playing along with my little act. "Can I offer you a drink? I'm Clay, by the way," he continues, moving his hand towards me. I shake his hand before sitting down comfortably next to him.
"That would be lovely," I grin. "I'm Y/n."
"What a lovely name," he says, reluctantly letting go of my hand. "What would you like?" He turns away a little to look at Lenny grabbing his attention and asking him to come over.
"Another round of usuals?" He asks as soon as he reaches us.
"Yes, please," I tell him sliming brightly. "So, who did you invite over yesterday?" I drop the act as we wait for our drinks. I knew Wil, went of course but I didn't know who else had been invited.
"Well, I invited a fair few. Sadly not everyone could make it, but as compensation, we played some games during the day. So it was just Nick, George, Techno, Phil, Wil and me during the evening," Lenny put our drinks in front of us, sending a smile. Then going back to the other side on his own. He was always pretty good at reading people. So he probably guessed we just had a pretty serious conversation. Wanting to give us the privacy we needed. "We actually watched Wil's stream while we were waiting on Wil."
"Wait, you did?" I asked calmly even though I was pretty shocked. Sure, they were friends and all but it was Clay's birthday. 'Why would he decide to watch the stream?'
"Yeah, we knew he was dropping a song but didn't know who with. I instantly realized it was you when you spoke. All flustered by the sudden attention thrown on you," he says with a sweet grin. A blush spread across my cheeks. His right hand reached out, gently taking hold of my left one. His thumb softly caressed the top of my hand. "I didn't know what to expect when it came to the actual song. But I knew it would be beautiful," the blush darkened at the compliments. "What I didn't expect was that it was going to be a song about us and this very bar. I thought you had long since moved on from me. Forgotten about me even," he says softly, looking down at our hand. Squeezing carefully, almost like he thought I would disappear. "But there you were, off-screen, singing about our bar and the effect our breakup had on you," his voice got a little croaky and I could tell it bothered him that I had been dealing with this for an entire year. I squeezed his hand, trying to reassure him that it was alright. I was obviously not the only one who dealt with it for this long.
"It's okay," I tell him softly. "It was a shitty year and I wouldn't have gotten to this point if it wasn't for Wil. But it's okay, Clay. I don't want you to blame yourself, which I know you're doing," I said with a pointed look, getting a slight grin as he knew I was right. "It's my fault for staying in that state of mind for so long. I have gotta say though, I don't regret it cause you want to give us a second chance. And that makes me really happy," I smiled a genuine smile because this is, in reality, what I had been hoping for. I love this man too much to just walk away from him.
"I guess, but I hurt you," he replies in almost a whisper. "And all because I'm an idiot."
"You might be an idiot, but you're my idiot, okay," I giggle softly, leaning over to give him a side hug and pecking his cheek. Leaving my head on his shoulder as he chuckled at my response.
"That I am."
That evening, just like on our unofficial first date, he made sure I got home safely. But! Instead of me kissing him, he gently kissed me. Looking at me with the softest of smiles when we pulled apart. A dark blush spread on my cheeks. We just stared for a bit, not really knowing how much time passed.
He told me he would come to pick me up in the morning. To pick up our cars, both of us were too tipsy to drive home. I smiled and nodded. Saying shy goodnight, I entered my apartment as he went back to the uber.
"Look who is finally home, just in time for dinner," Wil spoke from the kitchen. He couldn't see me but who else would enter my apartment. Wait!
"Wha- Wil? How did you get in?" I ask confused as I walk into the kitchen. There I find Wil making a very easy dinner of simple spaghetti with green pesto and cheese.
"You gave me a key," he says not sounding convincing in the slightest.
"Did you break into my apartment!?" My eyes wide in shock. 'How could he possibly have broken in!? I am on the forth floor! And my door definitely did not look broken into.'
"No, no, no!" he puts up his hands in surrender, letting out a sigh. "Clay still had a key. So he gave it to me to return to you after," I stood there flabbergasted. I had completely forgotten about the key I had given Clay. He actually kept it? "Love how you actually give him it with a keychain that has his name on it," he chuckled, taking the key from his pocket, sliding it over across the counter, to me.
"I-" I wasn't sure how to react. I just picked up the key looking at the battered keychain. I found it in a store once. It had a smiley, similar to his iconic one, on the the from and the back was black. So I had gotten it engraved with his name and our anniversary date.
I still remember the day I gave it to him. I was over at his place but had to go home that night because of my part-time job. I was very tired and asked if he would bring me home and maybe stay over. He had agreed after my pleading, asking for my eyes. He very well knew I was gonna fall asleep during the - short - drive. So he needed to be able to open the door.
I had grinned sheepishly and handed him his own key. He had been very confused at first. My own set of keys was filled - basically - to the brim with keys and keychains. 'It's your key. Now you can come over whenever you feel like it,' I told him. The smile on his face made my day just that much better. He pecked my lips before we got up and headed to the car. That night he had to carry me inside, 'cause just like he predicted. I had fallen almost straight asleep as soon as I sat down in the car.
"-ello? Earth to Y/n? Someone in there?" a soft pat on the head brought me back from memory lane and in front of me stood a smiling Wil. "Where did you drift off to?"
"Sorry," giggling I shake my head and put the key in a bowl that was meant for keys. "Just thought about the day I gave that key to him."
"While we're on the topic of him, how did it go? Did my plan work? I mean, I guess it did cause you were there for like 4 hours," Wil started to ramble as he filled two plates with the now-finished dish.
"It did work," I grin, a blush returning to my cheeks. "Funny how things work tho, right? The song was supposed to help me get over him and instead," I let out a content sigh. "We are going to start over and try again," I couldn't help but smile brightly as I sat down on a barstool at the island. Wil coming over to my side and sitting down too.
"I am surprised of me saying this, but I am very happy for you," he says. "I never hated Clay, but just never knowing why really made me not want you to get back together with him. Along with, of course, you being miserable for an entire year for that idiot," he chuckles. "He really is an idiot but he loves you very much," bumping his shoulder against mine slightly, a smirk on his lips.

My mutuals as my favorite OTV and friends streamers:
@rubyreduji: sykkuno… this is a coincidence because you are both gemini…. I LOVE SYKKUNO BECAUSE HE IS SO UNAFRAID TO BE HIMSELF ON STREAM he may be shy but he just feels so authentic to me. You’re both so authentic and you want to engage with others in your own specific personal ways. One of my favorite things about sykk is how he has these little jokes that would mean nothing outside of a watchful eye like his gag where we will purposely pronounce words wrong just to see how people would react AND you and sykkuno are also similiar in the way that you hardly ever take a BREAK sykkuno streams like every day a week, and JJ pops out fanfics like crazy. You two…. Uncanny similarities… ALSO i have a weird familiarity with both of you. Even when we’re not talking everyday i’m just like… JJ… my little bro </3 and i talk about sykkuno too like we’ve been friends for years. Sigh.
@toruro : this is a coincidence but not really one but Valkyrae. The coincidence being that you both are in fact capricorns. HERE ME OUT ON THIS ONE. Valkyrae is so great but you two’s biggest thing is that you DO NOT fuck with chat. Rae will stop her stream to lecture her chat on if something that said was appropriate or not, and you Mika you never put up with any shit from any anons coming on your blog. You take a stance, you hold true to your rules. And yet also you two are just huge energy balls. Don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure that rae went through a bitting phase. Rae is really good at network socializing. She’s the one in the roomies who is always having people over. Mika i see you on caratumblr being that. You are such a big hub for other big blogs. Which is crazy… you and rae are so iconic. ALSO you’re both super pretty- don’t look at me like that.
JJ and Mika partially got sykkuno and valkyrae because name me a more iconic streamer friendship… that’s right you literally can’t. The best era of syk and rae was their friendship/living in the same house era. ALWAYS playing games together, and even when they weren’t they were peaking into each other’s rooms. I will never forget the stream where rae screamed on stream in her room and sykkuno WENT AND CHECKED ON HER that shit was so fucking cute. Looking for the best among us games? Any where sykkuno and rae are imposters in proximity? Iconic and you can’t tell me that JJ and Mika do not give this kind of energy off. JJ and Mika, and Sykkuno and Vallyrae are the dream team. Babushka…
@hoeforcheol : Kkatamina. I love miyoung streams cause she’s very… chill. I never used to watch her but then when Fuslie, Rae, and her were supposed to do the 48 hour stream she was the only one who REALLY did it and i ended up watching it in almost its entirety live and fell in love with her. Miyoung gives me the quietest of the roomies vibes and even in like the irl streams i see her do she just heavily gravitates towards what she knows while also being under the eye of all her friends. I just. She’s very mom friend for the others, along with easy going friend who will go on a random adventure with you if you want to, and also just wants to stay home all day and spend quality time while playing video games. That just gives me Salem vibes. Mom friend, down to do whatever all the time… i love you salem <3
@multiland : Mr. DisguisedToast himself. When I think of you… I don’t know I just remember our very chill conversations and the ideas you always had. You always have such good ideas for fics and you are so easy to talk to. Toast is like that you know? Easy to talk to. Good friend. Funny. Full of ideas.
@kaespas : Fuslie. I live breath die leslie because why is she the most interesting person alive? Fuslie stories remind me of you just because you are so interesting. You both have such a interesting way of talking in general. Leslie tells a story and it’s all over the place but you are so enthralled either way. My favorite leslie story that makes me think of you is the one where at coachella she loses her phone and so she has to go get a new one. I don’t remember who she was with but they let her borrow their car to take it there and see, Leslie drives a tesla, right? Basically when she gets to the store leslie just GETS OUT of a moving vehicle, only for her to later realize that she really she had just misplaced her phone in her bag. Leslie is beautiful and sweet and so effortlessly funny. A perfect storyteller. An enthusiastic friend. Her reactions to joking accusations are always so big and dramatized too.. she’s so iconic fr. It just gives me very big kaespas vibes
@itsbeeble : Lilypichu, little bit of convincing but hear me out. Lily is very quiet but when she’s talking to stream she is so fun and talkative. She is literally so funny too, and (personal opinion) the most creative of the bunch. Your stories are so creative, and you just…. Give me dreamy night vibes okay? Do i know you well enough to really say that? Probably not BUT I DID ANYWAY OKAY.
@veethefreeelf : FOOLISH. Because no. Because foolish vee. I “met” foolish for the first time during miyoung’s 48 hour stream and he just like…. Did it for fun and everytime i heard his voice in those 48 hours it was like i was filled with energy. He’s funny, he’s nice, absolute life of the party. Whenever it’s like 2am and I’m about to sleep and i get a message from you? Guaranteed up for another hour. Immediate energy recharge. I don’t watch Foolish on my own but every single time I see that he is playing with one of my usuals I get excited because like COME ON it’s FOOLISH Vee you are so funny and so fun to talk to and the perfect support just like foolish AND THATS WHY I THINK YOU’RE HIM
@/lovelyhan : poki. i know we aren’t mutuals and i ran scared once cause mika can see my every move BUT regardless. You both give me the vibes of someone who gets along with everyone and is just… poki gives me friends with chat more than others vibes. Like everyone wants to be friends with poki but only select few people get to…. Poki is so cool… and she just does things and i’m like holy shit??? She can do that. I feel i can’t explain this well but kai they… they just give me those vibes. Like amazing and untouchable but really down to earth and friendly. And so nice, Poki is literally such a nice and honest person.

CC!Karl who's dating a camboy reader and one time during stream he gets a donor Confronting him about it? I don't know how but could you fit in smut somehow into this?
Gotcha 👍 perhaps- I tried my best- hopefully this is satisfactory- hm there's also a chance I read this wrong and if I did i apologize
NSFW 18+ only - Minors/Ageless blogs DNI
Warnings: sub!amab, mentions of video taping/recording, mentions of orgasm denial, possessive!karl
Tumblr media
It was briefly mentioned. Nothing to worry about though, as long as Sapnap edited that part out it would be fine.
Sapnap didn't cut it out and posted the banter episode for all to see. Obviously you went back and did it once you realized but the damage had already been done.
"Maybe I'll just sit out of this stream," you suggested.
Karl frowned spinning in his chair. "No cause you always sit with me, they'll know something up,"
"How do we know they were even paying attention?," you made your way across the room and plopping down in his lap. "I mean you and George were laughing really loud. Maybe they didn't even hear Sapnap,"
Karl debated silently, his hands brushing up and down your side. "I guess,"
Finally a smile spread across his face, his arms wrapping you into a hug. You glanced back at the computer, seems as though you caught him just in time. The mouse was still hovering over the go live button.
"Karl?"
He hummed a muffled "Baby boy?" into your neck.
"If they ever found the account how much do you think i could raise prices by? I bet I could hit my goal insanely fast so you can fuck me in-"
Karl's hand slammed on your mouth, his cheeks were a bright pink.
When he heard your quiet "joking, I'm joking," he sighed nuzzling into you once more.
"Watch yourself angel,"
It was the sweetest threat you'd ever heard. He, himself, was an angel at least until you managed to get on his nerves. Karl could be mean in bed and still give you the sweetest honey giggle that would keep you trapped under his spell.
With a few kisses to your neck, Karl let you go. You shifted to your designated chair beside him and watched him begin stream. Everything was great. It seemed as though people really hadn't even heard Sapnap.
Until one special dono towards the end of stream.
You saw it appear on the alerts and before you could stop it the alert has popped up on screen.
"Is this your boyfriend? The one that's a camboy? Or was Sapnap talking about himself?"
You both paused before you flashed the camera a smile.
"Sapnap, duh. Man's an attention whore,"
Karl burst out laughing, continuing to play through his roblox run.
Sapnap was in chat, however, and did not take kindly to this information.
You and Karl were identical to the "this is fine" meme. Everything was fine. Both of you smiled and played roblox as your chat devolved into flames. Sapnap was screaming in all caps and spamming discord calls while the chat was in a frenzy. Jokes had begun about Sapnap or some viewers going to snatch Karl's boyfriend away.
When it became clear that the mods and yourselves could not get the under control you whispered awkwardly "Karl, love, I think it's time to end-"
"Agreed," hastily he ended the stream leaving you two in the darkness of his streaming room.
"Now what?" He half smiled, tilting his head at you. With the way he was sitting up and moving closer it was obvious what was going to happen next.
You let out a harsh breath as Karl's hands made their way under your shorts.
"Time to leak my account to get more viewers," you joked, hips bucking into the hand that barely grazed your dick. He spit into his hand before continuing.
At least you think you were joking. The air in the room shifted rapidly. Karl grasped your chin at the same time as he began stroking. You gasped softly, squirming in the chair.
"No one gets to see you like this," he murmured, forcing eye contact.
"B-but my-"
"Oh that's different," Karl giggled, you whined feeling his grasp quicken.
"They know you're mine, this dick-" he tightened his grasp gently to emphasize his words. "-is mine angel,"
You had to admit this air of possessiveness around Karl was absolutely addicting. He had never spoken with such a tone to you.
"They can look but never touch,"
There was a silence that filled the room. At least word wise. There was no ignoring your soft whines and breathy moans. Finally Karl let go and began to stand. You frowned looking up at him in confusion.
"You have an orgasm denial stream coming up right baby boy? We have the time right now...let's remind who really gets to let you cum,"

i stumbled across ur ryan P stuff and imo he’s always acted weirdly even in videos, like the way he spoke to other members and they way he acted for example in the ‘forgotten twitchon moments’ i’m pretty sure he coaxes people to go onto the balcony in the Air B&B they had to see if they where having sex , all while giggling about it.
and in general he just never seemed right to me, like only the main misfits and manager sam seemed ok to me, and the fact that all the evidence has come out now.
me and my friends used to say there was for sure something up with him just by looking at the way he acted in videos , and i feel like he used money to keep people around.
especially now also with zuckles going off the rails too and no one saying anything about it , it seems like the only thing really keeping him ‘grounded’ was the misfits and probably the money he got payed , but i’m under the assumption now that because the misfits are ‘over’ , that the money source is no longer there causing zuckles to go off the rails with no direction
and the fact that fitz completely went MIA offline, matt only uploads once in a while, zuckles rarely streams and went missing, tobi uploads occasionally but that’s cus she has a kid which is understandable, and jay is the most frequent uploader.
i have a feeling that misfits was the only thing keeping all the members grounded and there in melbourne in the house, and when they stopped uploadingi think that’s when they started to really realise what the fuck was up with ryan.
oh yeah ryan kinda had something off about him, more towards the end of the misfits.
Zuckles has completely denounced misfits. He used to be the one that streamed the most, so alot of people would come in chat to ask about the next misfits upload. Got to the point where he made a command '!misfits' that just states they arent making content anymore, plus banned the word. He has had some mental breaks for a while even before the misfits 'ended'. I'd say that there's more things that played into it.
Ur right about jay and matt, but the trio (tobi,fitz and swags) still show up. They dont post much on twt but tobi uploads 1hr long videos of their sessions pretty frequently-ish. (shes trying to get a schedule in place) Swagger and fitz had some momentum going for uploads too, but idk if they've given up on it yet lmao. plus I'm pretty sure they still get invited to events, like that csgo major up in paris, so they're still respected in the csgo community.

Quick warning, it's a rough draft.
---------------
"-And then he had the nerve to tell me that I was using too much pink, and I just wanted to scream at him, because, I'm sorry, are we even looking at the same design right now? Cause I'm pretty sure I'm not the one copying that neon pink eye gouger of a clown dress completely, right, DYLAN?! Ugh, sorry, you already have to deal with this most of the day and now here I am talking your ear off at almost one in the morning."
"It's perfectly fine Gabe. I admit that it's rather nice to see you let yourself be passionate about your work again. However, I feel like you've been dodging what's really been bothering you."
Gabriel looked to the side, he had been avoiding the reason he was still awake at this ungodly hour but he was running out of distractions. Perhaps it was time to face the problem.
"...It's about Queen Bee."
"You mean the mayor's daughter? What about her?"
"You recall that during yesterday's Akuma there was a small accident during the fight that caused her to venom Chat noir?"
"I didn't see that on the ladyblog live stream, did that really happen?"
"Yes, and while she did figure out to undo the magic, she took it quite hard. I found her on that houseboat on the Seine, the one owned by the… Coffees, was it?"
"Couffaine, sir. Their daughter is in Adriens class, the one you said might make a good model for the gothic line once it gets approved for production."
"Right, her family's boat. I tried talking to Queen Bee but she believed it was fully her fault for what had happened. I wasn't quite sure what to say so I ended up repeating a speech from one of Adrien's favorite movies."
"Let me guess, Mr. Silver's speech to Jim?"
"Was it that obvious?"
"The Akuma you mentioned was pirate themed, you were on the so-called 'Pirate Queens' ship and Chloè was in emotional distress about an accident she had no control over. Seems fitting to me."
"Fair enough. It played out almost the same way from there. It was at that moment that I realized just how… how small she was."
"She's just a child, Nathalie. A child I was going to make into a monster all because I couldn't let go of a grudge against those damn heroes."
"It never stopped you with Akumatizing all those other people"
"That's different. Akumatiztion is temporary, undone simply by breaking the item or recalling the butterfly. I never had to know who they were, or what their life was like, just that they were distressed and susceptible. Actively manipulating their thinking to be a villain for the sole reason of hounding that blasted duo? It's not something you can just handwave or lucky charm away."
"Sir…?"
"... I'm done, Nathalie. Done with it all. I'm giving myself till hero's day to keep trying, but If- no, When that fails, then it's over. Hawkmoth dies on hero's day."
"... and what about her?"
"There's more magic out there, we'll just have to keep looking for now. A labyrinth has many deadends, but there's always an exit."
"Sir."
"Sorry, it's become something of a-"
"Sir!"
Gabriel finally looked up at Nathalie to see her looking over at the windows. As he followed her sight, he saw what had her on edge.
Purple sand, flowing though the gap in the windowsill.
YES!!!!!!

tubbo said it himself. “it’s dreams server” they did it because dream wanted to. or at least tubbo did it because of that.
he also said there was other stuff at play and i don’t want to claim any direct person or cause of that ending and what we got
it’s probably complicated and a mix of stuff and unless he deadass says “dream made me and tommy end our lore with the amnesia arc” i am not going to repeat that statement
would i doubt it? no. the ending motif is really convenient for the hot water he’s in and it welcomes in the start of the sever which also would act as a distraction.
that writing didn’t sound like tommy’s normal writing, and tubbo outright said he didn’t like amnesia esk endings, and on multiple previous occasions they both said they wanted us to have good endings, for us and the characters
and we didn’t get that, no sugar coating it
so i don’t doubt it.
i also think there’s other things at play though. like their genuine growing disinterest in the server. roleplay is so hard and it’s hard to keep going and consistent for two straight years the same enthusiasm and passion, especially when your roleplay partners don’t respond for a few months.
and you can tell. whenever they did a different minecraft thing they would get so invested and excited so quick and be so visibly joyful and happy playing it. i’m not saying they weren’t happy playing the dsmp, but i can only imagine it gets tired after awhile. it’s the same setting same characters same thing for the last two years.
tommy and tubbo in particular quite literally grew up on the server. tommy’s exile arc was written after he’d taken mental health classes in highschool/college. he’s no longer in school now.
there’s a reason most minecraft rp based servers have seasons that last only a handful of months, maybe a year. it’s burnout.
i imagine it was that, the communication, the people, and other things that lead to the endings we got. i mean it’s the whole reason ranboo wasn’t revived… two weeks after he died, like he was supposed to. stuff like that ruins stories.
im glad it’s over and i hope they can have fun playing minecraft again. to me it felt like the dream smp became an obligation. and tbh fans didn’t help with that point either. i mean over the past two years every time these guys don’t play minecraft, people bark in chat for them to play minecraft. if they’re not playing the dsmp and say played osmp or big dig or hardcore or whatever else, more people would complain about them not doing lore in chats or would ask them when it was coming back.
like i get streaming is a job, but it’s video games. you should be having fun, you shouldn’t feel like you have to play a certain game as an obligation or certain server as an obligation or job, they should have fun.
and i don’t want to talk about dream for long but even he, the whole time he was in that prison for nearly a year real life time, he didn’t walk around his own server. he did an out of character stream literally just to see the builds on it because he didn’t know what people had done.
and imo that’s like, kinda shitty, owning a game and sever and not being able to play on it for lore.
and again i don’t doubt the answer of the person they’re implying made them or swayed them to get lore done a certain way was dream. it is his server, it always has been.
i wish tommy and tubbo and whoever else end move on and get to have fun with what they do next, even if it is dsmp 2.
because video games with friends should be fun. and i hope their experience with the fans and fandom and people they work with is better too.
i hope they have fun. i won’t be watching the dsmp 2 because i think dream needs to seriously own up to what he did and something needs to be done about it, and it doesn’t sit right to me to consume content backed by him, even if he’s not in in directly. those finales were it for me.
even so i hope they do have fun on it, but i hope more that they bring back series they said they had fun on.
like i personally would adore the return of osmp. wilbur said they stopped because the lack of fan interaction but frankly if it wasn’t overshadowed by dsmp and the fans of it i think it would’ve gone places, plus all the members still make references to it and voice how much fun they had.
i hope they bring back other games too. rust, raft, the horror games, and whatever else they want to play. to me it’s not fun watching people play video games if they themselves aren’t having as much fun as they could.
but… i digress. i don’t want to outright say the cause like i stated previously because it seems like it’s a really complicated cause, i don’t doubt you anon and i don’t doubt he had part in it.
anyway. yeah.
don’t watch dream smp 2, don’t let that man continue with a platform
