#one day i feel like i need to upload screenshots of every single one of my sarcastic comments @ myself while writing

I just randomly got this idea and felt like I needed to write it. I don´t think there´s any yandere Aira content which is a shame because there´s definitely some potential there! Fanboy Aira supremacy!
Edit after finishing: Holy shit this got long, it seems like I had a lot of ideas for this one so I hope you enjoy!

Yandere! Aira with an idol darling he obsesses over
Tumblr media
Aira has been a huge fan of idols since practically forever. He loves watching his favorites perform on stage and discussing new songs with fellow fans online. It´s something he´s very passionate about and he all in all just holds a lot of love for all of them
Which is why it isn´t too surprising to him at first when he discovers your idol group through a recommended post on social media and immediately becomes a bit obsessed. He´s always been very excitable when it comes to learning about new units and so he doesn´t bat an eye when he feels his heart beat just a little faster when he first catches a glance of your face
Not a second later, he´s already looking up the group´s name on Youtube to take a first listen to your songs. He´s blown away when he hears you sing for the very first time. It´s something he would remember as a magical, life-changing event months later. 
Now Aira has certainly heard many idols in his lifetime, seeing as it was his special interest and something he was very invested in, but never has a voice struck such a cord within him before. He swears that you have the voice of an angel! It´s absolutely divine and so so lovely! He finds himself completely drowning out your fellow unit mates or even the instrumental in the background. No, it´s like he has tunnel vision and can only focus on you alone as everything else turns into background noise
This has never happened before but he feels himself enraptured by your performance, wishing your singing would never end. After the song is over, he would rewind the video and replay all the parts where you had solo lines, listening to them over and over like a broken record
After just replaying his favorite parts ( the ones that had you) for around 30 minutes, Aira goes out to look for even more of your other songs. The cycle repeats
Slowly but surely, Aira feels his interest in other idol groups fade away, some of which he had been a fan of for years. But none of them matter anymore, none of them could ever compare to you!
But he isn´t satisfied after having listened to all of the songs you had to offer, no, he needed to get more information! So he naturally follows your account on social media, hoping that you also have your personal one and that he doesn´t need to rely on the official one for your unit. Revamps his entire account into a fan account for you, where he uploads screenshots of your videos he particularly liked ( he has to hold himself back a bit though because if he just uploaded every single one he took, he would probably soon hit the posting limit for the day) or puts together fancams that he spams wherever he can.
Yes, he´s that annoying type of fan that posts his damn fancam as a reply under every single unrelated post and is like “stream [unit name]´s new song!” 
Always comments under every single post you make, hoping that a sweet message from him might cheer you up a bit. Also secretly hopes that if he does it enough, you might start recognizing him. it´s incredibly selfish but the truth is that there´s just no one out there that is a bigger fan of yours than he is! He knows absolutely everything about you, even down to the smallest little facts! He knows if you have a pet or not, what languages you speak, what books you´ve read recently, your dominant hand, the places you like to frequent when you go out to eat dinner, and the names of all of your past partners. No one in your entire fanbase is as devoted as he is!
Aira eats up every little piece of info he can gain on you and writes all of it down in both his actual physical notebook and on his account. 
You can be sure that he also buys every single piece of your merchandise and displays all of it in his room in the form of a little shrine dedicated to you. His account has actually gotten a bit infamous in the fandom when he proudly posted a picture of his shrine and a lot of other fans thought he was being a bit creepy. Aira got plenty angry at these messages, telling them that they just weren´t a true fan like him and that they didn´t properly appreciate you and your work
isn´t it natural that he wants to support you in every way possible? You´re so special to him and you take up a lot of space in both his mind and heart so it´s only right when he displays his love for you to the entire world!
Ah yes, love. That´s the word in question. Aira always liked to say that he loves idols but that love could never compare to the way he feels about you. You rule his every waking thought, it´s like he can never stop thinking about you and just how wonderful and talented you are! It´s not his fault when he often starts gushing about you to absolutely everyone, completely unprompted. And it certainly sounds nothing like the usual excitement one might have when they talk about something they´re very interested in
No, Aira rambles about you like the obsessed fanboy he is. How fast his heart starts beating whenever he listens to your singing voice. How you´re obviously the most talented one in your group and everyone else is just dragging you down, preventing you from achieving the success you deserve. How no other idol could ever compare to you and even how he wishes he could plaster your face all over the walls of his room but that there just aren´t enough posters released yet or when he´s been allowed to go on for a very long time, Aira might also admit how jealous and angry he gets whenever a new rumor of you dating someone arises. These stupid tabloids are just making stuff up again for clicks! You would never start dating someone like that and those news outlets should be ashamed of themselves for spreading that garbage!
He says that he always knows that it´s fake and that no one should listen to these articles but if you followed his account you would see how he´s practically having a meltdown every time a new rumor like that pops up. Just the thought of you being in a romantic relationship with someone else behind his back makes his stomach churn uncomfortably and his mood worsens considerably. He doesn´t like thinking about it and he doesn´t want to either
No one else could possibly get you as he does! He´s been your most passionate fan since the very beginning, he knows and appreciates you best! He always defends you against all kinds of criticism or hate online too and avenges you by doxxing the people that would say such horrible things about you. Can´t you see that he´s always there for you? Surely you must have noticed him by now, right?
Hah, he just wishes he could finally see you in real life! Which is exactly why he´s basically brimming with excitement when your official account announced an upcoming live event. It wasn´t even very far away from where Aira lived! Not that he wouldn´t have traveled halfway across the entire world just for a chance to see you.
Probably sits in front of his computer hours before the actual ticket sales start and keeps refreshing the page to be one of the first ones to buy a ticket. No matter how much it costs, he´s going to buy it.
When the day finally comes, he´s excited like never before and he feels like his heart is almost leaping out of his chest when you enter the stage right in front of him ( of course he got there early to get front-row seats). When you start to sing, Aira doesn´t look up to you like a starstruck fan might, but rather like a lovesick, delusional stalker
Oh, how he wishes this moment would last forever! It´s very selfish but he wishes that you would sing for only him as if no one else but the two of you existed! Please just glance at him, if only for a second!
He will be loving and supporting you until the very end as your most devoted and loyal fan!
And then maybe one day, you will finally notice him and realize that the two of you are meant to be

Licht Klein’s Act 2 Story Preview Translation
🐺 This is not the PV that Cybird released on 12/1. This is the actual preview of the storyline.
🩵 This a fan t/l only. So please expect errors and this may not be 100% accurate.
🐺 Cybird owns all materials. 
🩵 T/L notes will be at the bottom of the post marked with (**)
🐺 Alt translation marked as ///
For some reason the screenshots of the preview were fuzzy after uploading them, so I decided to add them to the very bottom instead of throughout the t/l. I apologize if they are still fuzzy, I’m not sure what is going on.
Licht POV: When I met you I learned that true love means that light and darkness are side by side. There was once a beast tormented by sin, who wanted to die.
But the beast came to know love and chose to live. 
Emma: You’ve changed a lot since we’ve met. 
Licht: I’m aware of that.
Licht: When I’m with you I go crazy and don’t know myself. So take responsibility.
The love that saved the beast from darkness has brought supreme happiness, and changed his dark world.
Licht POV: Every day, every single day - we love each other and share in our happiness. 
Licht: Yes……
Licht: ……Haa…..(sighs)
Nokto: Why…..You always look like this…..
Nokto:…..I, sometimes I don’t understand.
Nokto: What is “true happiness” for you?
I realized that the more the light overflowed, the darker the shadows became -
Before I knew it, I had chosen not to wake up from my happy dream.
To investigate the reason for the Triple Alliance, Licht and I visited Tanzanite. A country of illusion and divination.
Azel: Nice to meet you, our foreign guests. 
Emma: Ah. 
Azel: Is something the matter? 
Emma: No…I’m sorry. I feel like I’ve met you in a dream once before.
Licht:……….
Azel: With me? I see, you seem to be a devout believer.
Azel: If you’re a believer, I will accept your tribute. It’s even better if it’s food. 
Azel: But why does the guy next to me look like he wants to kill me?
Licht: Are you a messenger from the royal court?
(?!)
Sariel: Prince Licht.
Licht: …..ah. 
Licht: Are you a messenger from the royal court?**
With the living god of this desert country, and a generously hospitable welcome to Tanzanite castle - Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Licht: ……I hear that silver is the color of the moon.
Azel: Oh, you’re well informed. In Tanzanite, the moon has very special meaning, and the people who hold that silver is also very special.
Azel: It’s said that, Tanzanite is the only country where silver-haired children could be born, even if you search the entire continent……
Azel: Prince Licht, I’d like to ask, if you don’t mind. Is your mother from Tanzanite?
Licht: ….Why do you need to investigate this now?
Azel: I told you, didn’t I? Silver hair is very special color found only in the Tanzanite royal family….
Azel: I must investigate your mother and find her connection to the Tanzanite royal family….
Azel: We cannot tolerate your heresy. 
A Tanzanite taboo that he comes in contact with evokes the sins of the past.///A Tanzanite forbidden object that he comes in contact with evokes the sins of the past.
Licht: My mother died in an accident.
Licht: …….While walking in the castle, she slipped on the stairs and she fell to hear death. 
Sariel: I will arrange it that way. 
Sariel: Externally, no one knows the truth behind your mother’s death. So, this won’t be impossible.**
(You’re not going anywhere, are you?)
(Licht won’t go to the place he’s longed for so many years to punish himself for his sins.)/// (Licht won't go to the place where he will punish himself for his sins, something he has longed for many years.)
Licht: The truth is, I just want to be chained to you.
Licht: When I’m on official duties, I often have no choice but to leave you…..
Licht: I really don’t like it. I want to be with you forever.
Licht: Without you it’s like……
Emma: ….It’s like?
Licht: Nothing. 
Licht: Anyway, I’m fine. 
I love Licht, I love him, I love him, and I don’t want him to leave. 
Contrary to such a wish, the time has come for the illusion of love to peel away.
Emma: What’s …..this…..
Emma: Has Licht been hiding it from me this entire time?
Emma: Why…….why…….
Does the true love that’s sprouted between us really bring us “true happiness”?
Now that I’ve woken up from my dream, I’m faced with a cruel proposition.
Licht: Please…..be happy by my side. Hold my collar for the rest of your life. 
Licht: I’ll love you, love you, love you so much that you’ll never want to leave me.
The maddeningly painful love turns into a crushingly loving love.
Can I love you to the point of madness? I…I can’t live without you. I can’t do it.
______________________________________________ ** Licht: Are you a messenger from the royal court? (This is not an error. It’s very subtle, but after Sariel discreetly corrects Licht by calling his name, Licht fixes his face and asks the question again. Licht is ready to kill Azel over a dream 😆
**Sariel: Externally, no one knows the truth behind your mother’s death. So, this won’t be impossible. (I’m sure most of you understand what he means, but just in case….Sariel is saying that since no one outside of the Rhodolitian court knows how Licht’s mother -Anita- truly died, the lie that Sariel is going to spin should work.)
—————————————————————————
I love a possessive Licht 🩵
My thoughts…..there is gonna be pain. It seems like he and Nokto are related to the Tanzanite royal family, but I wonder how that came about. She could have been a runaway royal, but iirc she was a songstress in a traveling theatre troupe, right? Perhaps they performed in the Tanzanite royal court and noncon things happened? Then she met the boys father and used him as a cover up for their birth? Idk just a theory. Anyways, Azel is way too pretty when he smiles and he seems to love food too. Looking forward to this 😭 I will hold your collar forever!!

do you have any tips for coloring manga? yours are absolutely perfect!
Hii anon, I'm happy to share some and I'm very sorry for this late reply, it kinda took a while. The way I color might not work for everyone but I hope in some ways they'll be helpful. I’m going to share the mouse coloring tutorial here too along with few psds. I don’t think the psds will be of much help but I’ll provide nonetheless. (All files are uploaded on mega cloud).
Tumblr media
Tips on Coloring:
1. Knowing/Planning your colors - You'll have an easier time if you already have certain colors prepared. Paint a picture in your head of what you want as the outcome and what mood/vibe do you want to go for before coloring. If you’re having trouble with picking colors, try relying on color theory/color combination/color schemes.
2. Understanding where the shadow and light goes - This is to give your coloring--volume, dimension and a good atmosphere. Most of manga panels have shadows already so it won’t be that hard.
Tumblr media

3. Single layer coloring - I often color in 1 layer but it doesn't have to be just 1 layer (especially when it comes to coloring with a mouse, it's very hard to color in just 1 layer). You can have a single layer each for the skin, hair, eyes, clothes etc. but do the shading and lighting on that exact same layer. The reason why I go with this is because it's easier, it's time efficient and the colors blend so well. Instead of erasing you can have fun with painting over and mixing/blending! This method can be quite frustrating at first if you aren't used to it but the more you practice, the more you'll get to familiarize, learn and understand the relationship of colors.
Tumblr media
4. Sequence of coloring - Make an order of how you color and keep up with it step by step. Always finish a step before moving to another. I notice that every time I jump to another step without even finishing the previous ones, it always messes up my flow. In the end it consumes more time and drains my energy then leads to procrastinating. The birth of endless coloring wips.
This is my sequence of coloring: (Sometimes, I do interchange shading and lighting).
Tumblr media
PSD - https://mega.nz/file/x9kiHBjJ#ZsN2lOpKS-tBThvv92fA-6PMowUhjFhgUfxzNt5meRc
5. Have fun - The most important thing. Coloring should be fun. It's okay if you can't finish a coloring in a day or two as long as you're having fun with it. If you're having difficulties with the colors you choose, then take all the time you need to solve and fix it. Be patient with yourself cause if you keep on rushing, sooner or later you'll reach a point where coloring is no longer fun and it'll just feel like a task and daz not gud. There's nothing to hurry (unless you have a deadline then forget everything I said and do hurry).
PHOTOSHOP MOUSE COLORING TUTORIAL (Everything shown below is done with a mouse only)
I don’t know what took over me but I did a Mouse Coloring Tutorial asldjasf. I had it in pdf format cause it’s a lot simpler for me to do. I’ll be sharing the psd along with the pdf. 
(I’m on the same wavelength as Hinata Shoyo when it comes to explaining things and I honestly don’t have confidence with my teaching skills so don’t expect too much).

Down below is the skin palette used in the tutorial and different brush settings you can play with.
Tumblr media
I missed the chance to screenshot some of the process in coloring eyes while I was making the tutorial, so here’s a short and very straightforward eye coloring tutorial.
Tumblr media
Another coloring I did while following the tutorial but with a different skin palette.

hey, i love u <3
[ this post is UNRELATED to bakugou so feel free to scroll past this !!! ]
hey!! i don’t really interact with any of you guys besides from replying to the cute things that a lot of you write in the requests so i wanted to take a moment to properly thank every one of you properly. to start off, i uploaded my first post here on this blog a little over 2 months ago and immediately afterwards i received an OVERWHELMING amount of love and support. to be honest, i had zero idea on how to approach this- i was debating on whether i should make posts thanking every one of you anytime i’d hit a milestone or if i should just be internally grateful in order to not make a mess on people’s feeds. obviously, i decided on the second option because i feel like people don’t really care about how many followers i’ve gotten every single week or month because lets be honest, that’d be really messy and uninteresting.
i’ll be honest, i’m not entirely comfortable sharing how many followers i have because i really think that i do not deserve any of this. at the end of the day, i’m just an ordinary person online writing things that truly anybody could do. this being said, i’m really really thankful to every one of you here whether you follow me, like/repost my work, or simply even reading it!
a couple of times i’ve been inconsistent with my posting schedule and i’m yet to answer each and every one of your requests but never have i once seen anybody complain about this.. instead you guys greeted me with sweet welcome messages or even asking how i was doing. it may not seem like it but the anonymous messages that i see anytime i open my inbox really do make my day and i am really really grateful.
maybe i’m being a bit too dramatic.. but i really love you guys so much !!! if you need anything, please dm me!! i’ll get to you as soon as possible. we could even just say hi or anything like that!! maybe i could share my favorite bakugou pics or smth like that ?? the thing with anonymous msgs is that i cannot answer them privately which is the reason why i don’t really reply to any of them even if i wanted to :/ BUT do not worry i have read every single on of them i promise. if i missed urs its prob cus (I DIDN’T SEE IT WHILE I WAS SKIMMING THROUGH MY INBOX TO SCREENSHOT) or because it was included with your request!! so here are the cute screenies !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i LOVE YOU GUYS AND IM SORRY FOR THIS LONG POST. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES AND STAY HEALTHY!!

THE WALTEN FILES: my jumbled notes on my blind run-in with this web series
first off this is gonna be long and unorganized, also this is my second time writing this as i had lost literally half of my progress and im This (imagine two fingers almost touching with a 0.0000000001mm distance between them) close to ripping all of the fucking hair out of my goddamn head. but now this will be extra long and yes, i will lose some accuracy to my first writing but thats okay ill probably edit this a kajillion times over
which brings me to my next tangent; im literally braindumping here. so to have a smidge of organization all afterthoughts, edits and corrections will be boldened, i forgot what im gonna do with italicized text but ill probably bolden it here yeah im pretty sure its for side tangents, separate from Corrections, which are in bold. also theyre for emphasis too.
so in general, this post right here is all of my notes i wrote down on my grid-patterned sticky notes (which i used WAYYYY too much of) about the first 3 uploaded walten files youtube videos transferred onto my handy dandy digital notebook, this b(l)og. yeppers peppers. you know im serious about this shit when i typed probably over like a thousand fucking words including boldened shit, italicized shit and motherfucking links, lost it ALL, and im sitting here re-typing it again.
i feel bad about this but im not gonna trigger warn right here, but this is technically a warning. if you want a list of triggers as to what this post (and the walten files in general) i will link a little list to that here
without further a doo doo, (mama mia) here the fucking fuck we go again.
THE WALTEN FILES - VIDEO #1
clarifying this now, im gonna put some useless shit which i thought was code onto this because even though it was useless it was part of my notes and im physically going to combust if i dont put down every single thing i wrote on my papers. so what i thought was code was in the closed captions, i started writing it down when i got to the second video but came back to my first videos notes to include them. i wrote down the first letter to every word that was capitalized in the closed captions, which i had on as a default because number one i knew going into this id need them because most web horror things like args and cryptic shit like that has some of the most crucial shits in the closed captions. number two i am autistic and have auditory processing issues and have most closed captioning on as a default if theyre available.
firstly jotted, i wrote down the closed captions “code” so im gonna put the rest here too: HYWITB(BSI)Y A(BSI)BJWFKWITW ILHHFSBBSBTLBWI USOISTBNBSFIRBCAWHSHCBWHTAIGRNB*C*BTWLTSFA(20)MCFP ILITIIACPH(1978, 1979)SA(4)YTSCH*C*OGSSU SFTGRPATDBBUTFBNLLCHMIHLBRALLCLAYTUKB*LC*WHATWASTHATTHING 
the numbers in parenthesis are there because i wasnt sure they should be included in the “code” or not. i also thought of this with the BSI - bunny smiles incorporated and also the years 1978 and 1979. the shits in asterisks are coughs and light coughs, which were capitalized in the closed captions so i included them too just in case
i then jotted, in parenthesis of course, the names of the animatronics when they were listed in the animation section of the video; bon aka the blue bunny, sha aka the sheep one, boozoo aka the clown<3 honk<33, and banny aka the purpled eyelashed up one who is also a bunny btw. also i got boozoo the clown and boozoo the mustache guy confused because apparently the clowns name is billy???? but they named “boozoo” in bons sleepover and showed the clown? idk maybe im an idiot and theyre the same or just an idiot and theyre different or a super mega (matt and ryan?!?!??) idiot in general which is probably the case
i started drawing little stars to write down things i thought would be super important or to 100% look at again. the first subject of this pointy torture was the part of the video where at 3:00, i marked it down to make sure to reverse the audio as it was most definitely a weird audio that has that signature warp-y effect that makes sure you KNOW its in reverse. i then listened back to it Very carefully (still got it wrong) and got this: “you finally start to remember. that old doll. they will look out for you soon” im also pretty sure i heard “sophie” at the end of that audio but im not entirely sure and dont remember and i dont wanna go back to check lmfao but anyways it didnt matter because i was wrong anyway. after i had finished all 3 walten files i watched the film theory video on the walten files (which didnt cover all 3 but was dece.) out of curiosity and to hear matpats signature silly little voice explain some stuff i already knew, and click some shit in my brain that i couldve thought up of if i was a bit more... i dont know honestly. anyways yeah so the actual audio is “you finally start to remember. that old day. they will look out for you soon.” so yeah. day, not doll.
i then wrote down “sarah evelyn”, the name on the bons sleepover animation (i dont remember if she created it or animated it or whatnot) and scribbled will she matter? under her name. turns out no, as i didnt see her name in the rest of the series, let alone the first video. this is also a great time to mention how matpat theory helped me realize that the walten files are collections of videos, uploaded onto youtube by anthony. (i already knew about anthony as he signed his name in the descriptions of the youtube videos, making me categorize this overall web series more into an arg type genre.) but yes, the tapes, recorded “irl” footage, animated clips, vhs tape recordings and other audio-visual content is all collected and labeled the walten files, as i had mistaken each video to be a tape. stupid me. alrighty, onward!
i starred this one, good for me; MISSING: Jack Walten LAST SEEN: 06/11/1974
i jotted down with an arrow that; sophie was a nightguard? she was wearing the uniform explained in tape 2 i dont know why but i went back into my video 1 notes after i had watched video 2. organization purposes. i guess.?? 
i then paused the video when the screen flickered a date, the beginning of video footage dated 10/10/1982 (Brian Stells?) god my little genius ass assuming the videographer was brian stells, based on the id card i saw earlier.
i then wrote down what text i saw on the dead, mangled, bloody body in the purple security suit; “i cant feel anything” “he thought i was her” then drew a little arrow pointing to; thought brian was sophie? or ashley? i also starred the name Brian Stells this is totally out of order LMFAOOOOOOOO also i wrote down ashley because, again, my little pea brain went back on my video 1 notes after watching video 2. but yep thats all i wrote for The Walten Files 1 - Company Introductory Tape
THE WALTEN FILES - VIDEO #2 
Tape #1 - created 07/02/1978
awesome how thats first and foremost in the captions. god. so sexy of you martin walls. /j /nsx
this pack of notes is chunkier because again, like i have mentioned before i am an absolute goober and thought the capitalized letters of the words would actually mean something. I MEAN MAYBE THEY DO AND IM JUST DOING IT WRONG but i stopped doing it after this video because holy shit it was exhausting and my stupid little fingers couldnt take the writing anymore becasue i am WEAK. 
so write off the bat (squeak) i wrote down 197[] the blacked out rectangle over the last digit of that year and everything im also now assuming its probably 1978 or 1974 because lore reasons but whos to say but yeah i also wrote down this;
Tape #2 - created 08/13/1978
then, straight up in the beginning of the video i caught it, the flash of text, as i had by now realized i gotta be SUPER stupid focused on the screen in case i miss anything, i wanted to be crazy precise on my theorizing and mental notes, among other things. but yes i saw it, the first half of a youtube link;  “https://youtu” 
claps hands together and rubs them evilly. oh yeah baby. thats the hot lunch. this shit right here? the cats pajamas. lets fucking go.
i wrote down this goofy shit i pasued to inspect when i saw bon sorting through a file cabinet and naturally scribbled down the labels and other written things i could see on the files; 
relocate X/X/75 felix
storage K-9 07/23/1975 felix k(ranken)
Bons Burgers 06/28/1974 Jack Walten
Shipping Service 1975
New Location -> 1982
i also wrote down more goofy shit, like when banny was created for some reason; in 1974
starred, i noted to go back and reverse the audio at 5:09, when played back, i didnt write it down so i dont remember. lmao.
i also marked to screenshot and brighten the darkened image i saw at 5:20, i was going to do it on my phone then realized i can just do it on my computer so i quickly took a screenshot, brightened it and wrote down what i saw; a missing person poster that read MISSING: SUSAN WOODINGS(?) Last seen: 1974 i was very unsure of the spelling of her last name because the image was so goddamn low quality and grainy but its what i saw. this is where tape #3 gets thrown in, which im gonna type again because i like how the formatting looks;
Tape #3 - created 07/09/1978 (BEFORE tape 2?!//1/1??? its more likely than you think)
i wrote down more dates, any dates i saw, i jotted down. i wrote; 
Technical Support 1978 
then, 
Brian Stells (for some reason i dont remember right now)
alrighty this is where the stupid capitalized letters come in, but before it looks like i vomit a keysmash time infinity on this, ill put down the little inbetween things i wrote in the midst of the caps lockalypse like timestamps and stuff, so here you go;
- Reverse at 8:16 which i did but of course didnt write down what i heard. i think it was too warbled to hear anything clear out of it, or it was just the good ol auditory processing issues fucking me over yet again. WAIT yep yes i did here it is: “rosemary would go to the restaurant every night hoping that [her] beloved husband would reappear after being missing for weeks but no response until one day [s]he heard a voice [saying] ‘i know where he is rosie’ coming from the back stage” the bracketed stuff is the corrections, i misheard the audio and thought the audio said “his”, “he” and “singing” like a nimrod
- Brighten at 10:14 which was another missing person poster, but i dont think it had any information on it because i didnt write it down, just;
- Sophie again (pic at 9:08?) (dismemberd and put in Sha) i was stupid and wrong haha idiot it was rosemary who was put in sha but anywho
i starred and underlined a huge thing i discovered which was;
- Walten had 3 kids which i dont remember how i found out but it doesnt matter, its good important info i uncovered.
- Tape #4 - Unkown Date
- recorded 07/12-07/14 1978 
- Hilary B, Ashley P & Kevin W i made sure to get these names down as soon as i saw them on screen but then realized shortly after i wouldnt really need to have it as the closed captions made sure i knew which person was talking by using their first initial (capitalized of course) before each line of text. this is the perfect time to announce the arrival of the clusterfuck of capital letters, which is going to include colons which will indicate that the letter before it is the initial of the person talking. without further aedue, here comes another chinese earthquake;
TCWTSTATO(K-9)TBSSFWFCNEHAWBSUBIUC(BSIIDC)OWHISF INBIJTILNSPL(K-9)LCSCKCCCWTTLTLITTTYROTFAJAMHPYYSTCSPMBBWSBIB H:NTPPCCK:DA:HH:YCPRPMWTCBCRAWK:JH:SYYTCPBACPSTBAWCA:TK(?):FMTTCMK:TCPNOA:DTOFK:ITNPPRA:YBUTIRRFH:HKIBESRAIA:TCK:WA:WPCCFTRRIDPEH:GGK:GPA:LKK:WA:HNCGTKMK:YH:IGKA:ESK:MFH:RK:HILRLBNTRPPUWHITRRTPEIFEPH:YWBEBPK:MAHPBTRPTRPEL(LN)HTACPKLIKHPFITSKLTKLB(LB?)ISIBSUBIPRW AEBATHSPUAICTPURTWBBRPHTRTIIIILTCITCUCCP S(bpe, be)WA”IDCPBPSIB
holy shit its finally over okay now onto some MORE of what i wrote down in between and also after that keysmash attack;
12 doors? (backrooms) 27? 26? i was unsure because ashley was unsure too lmfao
found cassette (6/11/78) <- says “discard”? yeah it did
Tape in clown audio, speaking voice; jack, susan, charles(?), rosemary, sophie, last word sounds like “walrus” it was walten lmfao
Ashley died? yeah she did lmfao OR AT LEAST I THINK SO??
starred this one, Reverse @ 17:06, then got this;
“they left the next day, they thought ashley left early, but she was in the backdoors, screaming as much as she could, but no one heard the screams, the following days the caretakers would complain about an awful smell coming from the backdoors, company decided to shut down facility until new advice, the relocate project was unsuccessful. ashley is still there, but she is not screaming anymore, she saw something she wasnt supposed to see and now shes beautiful” the phrase “shes beautiful” was repeating like a bajillion times in that wall of text. then, god motherfuckng bless: 
at 17:23 i found the other half of the youtube link, “.be/k07QqEDOfQ” i pieced that bad boy together as instant as i think any form of ramen could never be, but remained ever patient. because i made sure to jot down this before moving onto my next segment;
@ end of vid 2, “shadow man sees* me when lights go off” im an idiot *it was actually “feeds” not “sees”, which AGAIN, i only found out after watching the stupid little film theory video *begins snarling and foaming at the mouth*
okay im not proud to admit im editing this to post it and realized ive lost my notes. well. 
might as well post what ive got! if i find my shit ill add onto this, i suppose.

i'd lowkey love to see an example of your spreadsheet like you just showed in the gif! idk if you have something up somewhere on your blog, but i feel like being more organized like this is always a good thing so i'd be curious to see what you do
I went into detial here with explaining as much as I could So aside from walking you through step by step making the whole thing?  You get all the information.  I broke down every section, explained why something is there and overall tried to leave nothing upturned.  If you have questions about organization or something?  I’m totally here to answer more questions.  If this helps you?  Or you like what you see like/reblog. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is a large screenshot of my whole spreadsheet. And then here is an updated gif version of my spreedsheet.  This whole set up took me about 4 hours to do (three more days of constant tweaking).  This whole process was a learning experience so that was why it happened to be so long.  I really had no idea how to do this at all so I had google up and a friend on a call asking questions (they helped where they could).’
Right now,  Danielle only has one project where she is a major part in it and is in episodes where is is above the age of 18 so that is all that I can do when it comes to her and icons.  Now with a different fc?  That has more projects this set up would be different only because they have more.   I tend to only make resources for fcs that I’m currently using or for the fandom that I’m currently writing in when it comes to indie rping.  I’m an indie roleplayer and write mostly canon muses.
Tumblr media
So let’s move onto me explaining everything !  This screenshot is a little small so I’ll also be telling you what it says  (I can’t do the whole screenshots of things because some of it is just information but where I can I’ll try).    EPISODE NAME,  AIR DATE,  EPISODE #,  # OF ICONS,  TUMBLR UPLOADED,  MEGA DOWNLOADED EPISODES.
Tumblr media
Some of this you might not even need if you weren’t me.  Things could easily be changed as well.  So the episode name and number of the episode might seem like overkill.  One or the other could be fine but I wanted to know the exact name that I was iconing as well.    Number icons is really the biggest thing along with what is next to it which tells me if I’ve uploaded those icons to tumblr yet.  The mega download really has nothing to do with iconing but everything to do with gifing and the fact that I’m slowly trying to get every single episode downloaded to my new external harddrive.
Tumblr media
So this is what it looks like.  Here are two examples.  If I type in anything below 100 icons done?  It stays soft red (unless there is 90/99. I’ll show you the coloring for that in a second).  So make my icons via a batch system that is partly styled by @/glitchkingdesign   (who was so kind to like help me find a style that works and was like my friendly cheerleader.  I adore their work and like I will constantly rec them on here because I am a fan).   There is nothing like typing in over 100 in this and watching it go from soft red to soft green.
At the base when I started this every icon spot went straight to 0.  So even if I had some icons made for it,  it would be a solid 0 until the template was finished and I went back in to change things.
Tumblr media
So if you see this I have 90 icons there.  This means I should at a later date try and go back to this episode and squeeze out a few more icons.  This likely means doing some aestheticy icons.  So faceless / half face icons are a must.  Now I already know that at least ONE episode of season one is going to likely not make the cut of 100 icons.  Then there is the fact that I know one episode I’m gonna be cutting out half the icons because I don’t want to color correct so I need to figure out how I’m going to mark those on my sheet.
Tumblr media
So this piece has nothing to do with iconing but that yes at the end is more for my gifing section.  I love making gif sets but quality wise? The episode file itself is the way to go for the best qaulity  (thanks my fansite source blog helper group for teaching me this one)
Tumblr media
Okay so now I have another section color change for anything not in an episode.  So you might be going “She’s not in this episode just the twins. How do I mark that?”  here is how.  I put not in episode.  This changes to a soft yellow/orange color.
Tumblr media
When I update an icon page?  the sheet needs to be updated.  I go ahead and go from n/a to updated.  n/a makes it a soft red color while updated makes it a soft green.  With tumblr being a pain it makes me not want to update pages as fast as I make icons.  I’m sure later when I have a lot to do?  I will regret not doing it by icon update but for now I’m fine with what I have going on.
Tumblr media
This section was a struggle and had to be adjusted so many times as I had no idea how make it do what I wanted accurately.    (  my one class of technology in school didn’t help me at all ).  I finally figured out the code that would help me get it.  So first thing first was I had to have it say ALL SEASONS first so that way the code wouldn’t mess up.  So the first thing I see total wise is how many icons I have in total on my laptop.  I then have a code for each season’s worth of information icon wise.  This all updates by itself when I change a number in the # of icons section. 
Tumblr media
This part is also a thing.  I wanted to keep track of exactly how many episodes I’ve iconed,  how many icon episodes I’ve uploaded to tumblr, and how may in total episode wise there are.  This is because I have friends that go “How many episodes have you done so far.” and I don’t feel like counting each soft green in my # of icons section.
Tumblr media
This shows you exactly my settings and what it looks like of how I made things turn to a different color when I type a certain thing in.
Tumblr media
So I have this little section because I’d love to be able to point people in direction of credits and things.  My screencaps are either from myself or @glitchkingdesign   (a friend of mine).  The coloring psd is tricky.  I can’t tell you exactly which one it is as the file maker didn’t name their psd folder with a number but I can tell you who made it as in link you to their account so you can scroll through psds.  I also thought it was worth noting the border size and the size of my icons as well here.  I can now tell you without opening up one to check that I made it in 85x85 px for the size and the border is a solid white in 2 px wide.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you want an in depth look at my organization for my laptop / hardrive?  I can gladly show you! I would actually love to do it because I’m a neat freak and love how I have my system set up as a whole.  I find it easy and just exactly what I need for myself.  So like totally feel free to ask if you are a person that likes organization and set up.  I always love seeing how everyone else does their computers because it shows a lot about them in a way. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So in the span of writing this tutorial I did one single change and did the thing I’ve been wanting to do since I made this.  I now have pretty colors in the middle of it so that every section has the alternating color.    This whole thing makes my brain happy and makes it easier on me to tell someone information they might need to know.

The Fifth Save - Player’s Inventory
I’ve been working on these on and off every now and then, depending on what kind of fake screenshots I needed to include in the comic... But now, here we are. I think we finally have a somewhat final look for all of those. I remade the inventory screenshots also for the kind of pages that we already know, but I thought it’d be a shame if I never made public a high quality version of what Player’s inventory really is like ! So, here you have the pages for the mods she can use, and for the weird NPCs-related items that somehow got scattered throughout Hallownest.
Some comic news now :
I’m finally done with the final oral exam I had today, and now, even though I still have some IRL stuff to take care of, I am pretty much sorta on vacations for the two weeks to come; and I obviously intend on spending as much time as possible on drawing the comic !
However... I’m impatient. I’ve been changing the plot for a while because I kept getting new ideas of what to do, and this Epic Let’s Save Quirrel Mini-Arcventure has been lasting for WAY longer than I originally planned. So here’s what’s gonna happen... I’m gonna sketch / thumbnail a final version of all the pages that separate us from the end of that mini-arc and the beginning of, finally, the part where the characters can answer your questions. And only when I have a definite version I’m satisfied with, I’ll work on finishing the pages update per update. I mean, I’ll still probably spend some time finishing a few pages anyway here and there, but I don’t think I’ll feel satisfied finishing a page before I’m sure I have the full storyboard for everything.
Now... There’s a dilemma I’ve been having for some time. Since it means that the comic probably won’t update before at least a few more days, or even one week, I bet y’all are as impatient as I am. And thing is... I’ve been saving the storyboarded WIPs that have been done so far in a single Google Doc file, so that anyone could read from the first not-yet-uploaded page up until the end of my WIPs. So... I really hesitate on whether making this Google Doc public is a good idea or not? I mean, on one part it lets you know how the story goes and how my work is advancing, but on the other part, well. Spoilers.
So... I guess I’ll let y’all tell me whether you’d like to get a link to that doc or not. I can always send the link privately to people who ask for it, for example. Provided the ones who get spoiled don’t deliberately spoil the readers who want to wait for the finished work, obviously. Whatever the case, let me know what you think!

how I organize my DM notes using OneNote
a few people said they were interested in seeing how i organize my notes for the games that i run, and let’s be honest, that’s all i need to make a huge informative post. (to my players, you can look! i’ve crossed out info you shouldn’t have lol)
i use OneNote, which i *think* you can use for free online even if you don’t have microsoft. could be wrong on that though. anyway, details and screenshots are under the cut!
here are the sections i split everything into:
Tumblr media
[ID: a menu bar showing different tabs that say Players, NPCs, World, Calendar, Sessions.]
“Players” is the least completed session for my online game because my players have uploaded their character sheets to Roll20 so I got lazy about copying that info over. but normally, this section is split into different pages for each of my players, and will have the player’s contact info, as well as their character sheet, etc. but really, the only important part of the character sheet, for my purposes, is their backstory and passive perception and insight modifiers. I will also note their relationships with NPCs here (as you’ll see in the NPC section), and keep track of their renown with various factions (i do a homebrew renown-tracking thingy to keep track of friends and enemies of the party).
next is NPCs!
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of a particular NPC’s page, Z’ress Matyl. A lot of it has been blacked out lol.]
I used to keep track of EVERY SINGLE NPC this way but it got overwhelming fast, so I only put notable NPCs here (either famous ones, ones that i expect will be around a bit, or ones my PCs will fight/fight with). i use this section to quickly remind myself who the NPC is, their class/race/alignment, what they look like, their personality and a short backstory if applicable. you can also see the little table where i keep track of relationships, and that’s how I track PC relationships too. if relevant, i keep the NPC’s statblock here as well. once i’ve created more NPCs for this campaign, i’ll organize the pages into subpages by family/faction, but i’m not quite there yet with this one!
now onto World!
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of the World tab, which includes sections titled: Sirona history, Pantheon, Dal Z’har, Iesma Empire, and World notes along with a lot of town names for each of the areas. The main text on the screen is about a small town called Sweetvale.]
as the name suggests, i keep most worldbuilding info here, including detailed info about the towns and cities the PCs visit or have been to. some towns (like Sweetvale!) have more detail than others. i also keep larger world info in this section: world history/conflicts, the pantheon and origin stories of the gods (i have a homebrewed pantheon so that’s why it’s necessary), and overarching themes and shit that are relevant to the campaign. this is also a place where i’d keep maps for my own reference if i were more organized. “World Notes” is where i furiously type ideas as they pop into my head, to later develop. i wish i could show you that section, it’s buckwild and has a lot of exclamation points, but it’s very spoilery.
onto the calendar!
Tumblr media
[ID: the calendar tab, showing pages for the months Gelus, Tabeo, Imber, Flos, Lux, Sol, Ardor, Messis, Folium, Stella, Nox and Hiberius, all in 52 AC. The main text on the screen shows the days of the month in a table with notes of what happened on each day. The days of the week are Moonday, Treeday, Waterday, Thunderday, Fireday, Starday and Sunday.]
as you can see, i use a homebrewed calendar because of course i do. full disclosure: i stole most of those week day names from another DM because i love them. but basically the calendar for this world is a 12-month year, 28 day-month, 7 day-week, so it’s kept similar to our IRL calendar. this is where i keep my primary notes of what happens in each session. they’re brief, because 1) i have a pretty good memory for the hijinks the party gets up to, and 2) i put a lot of detail into the plans for each session so i feel like i can go more minimalist here. the most important things i note for each session are: where the party went, if they met any NPCs, the fights they had and if they obtained any special or magical items. i also use the calendar to keep track of full moons, world events and holidays in the world.
next up is Sessions!
Tumblr media
[ID: The Sessions tab, showing a page titled “Adventures” with links to three adventures listed. On the side panel, there are sections called Adventures, Current Adventure, Campaign Notes, session ideas and Tech shit.]
“Adventures” is where I keep all the notes for past adventures (See below). I link to each paragraph (a feature of OneNote) so i can easily click and get to what i need to see. the “Current Adventure” page is where i keep notes for, you guessed it, the current session, just to minimize how much i need to scroll, and at the end of the session i cut/paste everything that we got to into the Adventures section. Campaign notes and session ideas are, again, where i furiously type notes that make no sense and need to be edited and expanded upon, haha. And Tech shit is where I put the order of stuff i need to plug in for my online sessions. i’m kind of a dummy.
below is an example of my session prep notes:
Tumblr media
[ID: a screenshot of text showing detailed notes of Adventure 1.]
this is just to give you an idea of how detailed my notes are. they are typically this detailed, if not more so. but i know lots of DMs will basically type out a hook and a resolution and leave the middle blank for notes. it’s really up to you and how you best prep and run sessions. i err on the side of over-preparing because it’s who i am, and when i try to go into a session with less preparation, i feel overwhelmed lol. i occasionally add a few notes here and there as we play in this section, but as i said, keep most of my notes to the Calendar section.
you can also see above how i list NPCs that i expect my players to only briefly interact with. Name, age, appearance, a few notes about personality/motivation, and that’s it. OneNote is cool because you can search for specific words and phrases and it’ll search the whole notebook, so i can easily find these NPCs again if i need to. (note: normally my notes wouldn’t be this....structured? as in, they’ll be less linear than this typically, but this was for the first session where i knew which PCs i’d be introducing first, etc. don’t want you to think i’m a big old wet blanket DM.)
and that’s it! hopefully this is useful for some of you, or at least gives you ideas for how you might organize your game moving forward. IMO the most useful sections are the World, Calendar and Session sections: they’re what i reference and add to the most. let me know if you have any questions!

Phaer Manor [NOCC]
Tumblr media
by peridew
Wow, back from the dead again! Been rather busy as of late. I'm at uni now, I moved house and I've been playing on my new Switch. Still managed to come back to my true love The Sims 3 though! Mainly because things have kinda dried up lately for reasons... So long story short, I decided to reinstall The Sims 1 because I was nostalgic for the magic system in that game. Made an exclusive, matrilineal clan/coven of sapphic witches to play with. Ended up falling in love with the characters I'd made so now I'm recreating them in all the Sims games. Of course, I put my TS3 versions of them in Moonlight Falls, but I needed a nice mansion befitting of such an elite clan of witches. So here we are, after 4 days of work: Phaer Manor! > Pronunciation note: say it like 'fair'. It's based on an old spelling of an ancestral surname in my family (Phayer/Fair) This manor is purpose-built for these 3 basically-OCs of mine, so not all rooms are furnished. Namely a bedroom on the 1st floor, and the super-duper-top-secret attic space accessed from the master bedroom. I will be filling these as my gameplay needs it; feel free to do the same if you download this. As for the rest of the house, there is: a kitchen/dining room, a grand hallway, 3 small bathrooms (plus an IP all-in-one bathroom), a sparsely-furnished nursery, a witchcraft/alchemy room, 2 furnished bedrooms, a greenhouse, and extensive outdoor grounds including a large greenhouse and spaces for planting fruit trees. The decor throughout the house is very inspired by the formidable head of the Phaer clan, Regentia. She's into black and deep red tones, as you will see. The outdoors also have hints of her, but that is more the realm of her green-thumbed partner Ariadne. She, as you will notice, prefers purple and dark pink colours. Finally there is the youngest member of the clan, biological child of Ariadne and stepchild of Regentia, Serpentia. You will see that her bedroom is full dark greens and blacks, with little in the way of toys around in line with her stern and serious nature. I may upload these sims to this post as well if A) I am requested to and B) I can find which of the random strings of numbers in my Library folder is the family bin file for them. You may see then poking around in a couple of the preview images though. As this lot is built for/in Moonlight Falls, it may not perfectly suit other worlds so take this into consideration if you use it in other worlds. The colour schemes are made to suit the lighting in that world and I haven't checked how it looks in other worlds. To be fair though, I can't imagine this lot suiting Starlight Shores too well... Another issue to consider is that entering build/buy mode may take a while due to it being a large and densely-decorated lot and for some reason this game loves to reload every single object on the lot whenever you enter/leave BB. Probably best not to install this lot if your PC is on death's door. Please note that although this lot is officially CC-free, I do use some default replacements that vastly improve the appearance of the lot. These are not required content, but explain why my screenshots may look slightly different to a purely vanilla game: - Aminovas' lavender defaults in purple - HystericalParoxysm's plant defaults - JaneSamborski's wood pattern texture replacements - Blyss' window lighting fixes - Simsl3gacies' no glow mod Thank you for reading, browsing, downloading etc. Lot Size: 64x64 Lot Price (furnished): 390,674 Lot Price (unfurnished): 270,148 Additional Credits: Aminovas, HystericalParoxysm, JaneSamborsk, Blyss, Simsl3gacies and many others not mentioned here for their cosmetic default replacements which make this lot (and my game as a whole) look even better! COVID-19 for giving me the time to spend 4 days' work on a single lot (3 of which were spent on making the shell and landscaping!)

Title: Computer Love Collaborator Name: ceealaina Card Number: 3088 Link: AO3 Square Filled: A3 - Artificial Intelligence Ship: Stony Rating: Explicit Major Tags: Steve Versus Technology, Get Together, Smut Summary: A spam email and a misunderstanding from Steve lead to him accidentally revealing something very surprising. Word Count: 6228
Contrary to popular belief, Steve had adapted to technology wonderfully. As far as he was concerned, microwaves were the greatest things ever invented, right after the internet and computers. He still used physical newspapers, but it was mostly just to drive Tony crazy. He could use a tablet and his phone without even thinking, and loved the array of information and music and games that were instantly available at his fingertips. And he could spend hours binge-watching tv shows and movies. 
What took a lot more getting used to was people. The way they interacted now was different. It had taken him probably too long to realize that men especially didn’t stand as close, didn’t touch the same way — except for Tony, who was as touchy feely as they came. He’d apologized, once, but Steve had told him he didn’t mind, that he appreciated that easy, friendly, physical intimacy that he’d thought he’d lost in the 40s, and since then Tony had made a point of touching him, probably more often that he did anyone else. 
Other interactions hadn’t been so easy. 
So when Steve woke up one morning, and found the email in his work inbox -- from his own email address -- he had a brief heart attack. 
Hello!
I have very bad news for you. on this day I hacked your OS and got full access to your account xxxxxxxxxx
So, you can change the password, yes… But my malware intercepts it every time. 
How I made it:
In the software of the router, through which you went online, was a vulnerability. I just hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it. When you went online, my trojan was installed on the OS of your device. 
After that, I made a full dump of your disk (I have all your address book, history of viewing sites, all files, phone numbers and addresses of all your contacts). 
A month ago, I wanted to lock your device and ask for a not big amount of btc to unlock. But I looked at the sites that you regularly visit, and I was shocked by what I saw!!!
I’m talk you about sites for adults. 
I want to say - you are a BIG pervert. Your fantasy is shifted far away from the normal course!
And I did an idea… I made a screeshot of the adult sites where you have fun (do you understand what it is about, huh?). After that, I made a screenshot of your joys (using the camera of your device) and glued them together. Turned out amazing! You are so spectacular
I’m know that you would not like to show these screenshots to your friends, relatives or colleagues. I think 51551 is a very, very small amount for my silence.

“Oh shiiit,” Steve breathed. 
It wasn’t that he had any problem with porn, or his own sexual proclivities. He had known he was attracted to both men and women since before Captain America was even a thought in anyone’s mind, and he felt exactly zero shame about that. He had, in fact, been just waiting for a Republican broadcaster to bring it up so he could announce his bisexuality in the most satisfying way possible. The increase in acceptance of different sexualities was one of his other favourite things about the future. 
But that didn’t mean he wanted everyone getting full frontal shots of him jerking off. 
He knew, logically, that it happened these days. He had watched exactly thirteen seconds of Tony’s sex tape before realizing that oh shit, it was real and snapping his laptop shut. But he didn’t think he could handle it quite so well -- he lacked both Tony’s sense of self-confidence, and his utter lack of shame. And he was Captain America, he was meant to be a role model, there were certain things people expected of him. 
And then there was the whole other aspect of the Captain America issue. If they’d managed to hack his personal email, who knew what other sensitive information they might have come across in the process. 
A feeling of panic starting to pool in his stomach, he hopped out of bed. Pausing just long enough to pull on sweatpants and a t-shirt, he grabbed his tablet and made a dash for the lab. 
Tony was elbows-deep in some circuitry, although he seemed to have been expecting Steve, giving him a quick glance and a warm smile as Steve burst into the room. 
“Nice outfit, Cap,” he told him, and Steve glanced down to realize his shirt was inside out and his sweatpants were on backwards. “What can I do for you?” 
“Uhh.” Now that he was here, Steve wasn’t entirely sure how to explain. “I could use your… Technical expertise?” he tried, tightening his grip slightly on the tablet. “It’s sort of sensitive. And time sensitive too, for that matter.”
That, apparently, intrigued Tony enough to finish up what he was doing and give Steve his full attention. “What’s up?” he asked, taking in Steve’s harried appearance. “You okay?” 
“Yeah. I mean… I think so?” Steve sighed and held out his tablet, holding it like it might explode at any moment. “I got this email this morning,” he said, deciding it would be easier to let Tony read it for himself, rather than trying to stumble his way through an explanation. “It came from my own account.”
Tony arched an eyebrow, but he looked more curious than concerned. His eyes flickered as he read over the screen, and he couldn’t have been more than a few seconds in before he started laughing. A little nonplussed, Steve folded his arms across his chest, frown creasing his forehead as Tony kept laughing over the email. 
“Oh god, this is priceless,” he choked out. “The spelling! ‘A screenshot of your joys!’” There were actual tears in Tony’s eyes, he was laughing so hard, and Steve was starting to get a little offended now. “Oh god, and then trying to convince you at the end that he’s actually a good guy, and not to hate him.” Tony actually snorted, wiping tears from his eyes as he set the tablet down on a table. “Oh man. Thanks, Steve, you big pervert.” He giggled again. “It’s been a day. Or, uh…” He glanced somewhat guiltily at the clock. “Night, I guess. I really needed that.”
“Uhh… Okay.” Steve watched as Tony walked back over to his project. “But what are we going to do about it?” 
“Do about it?” Tony repeated, looking utterly confused for a minute before his eyes widened. “Oh. Oh, Steve, it’s not real.” 
His voice was kind, but something about it made Steve feel squirmy and uncomfortable, embarrassed by his own ignorance. “What do you mean it’s not real?” he asked.
“It’s a scam, Steve. It wasn’t even sent from a real person. It’s just a real basic AI, and an automated message.”
“But it came from my account?” Steve hated that it came out as a question. 
“It’s a spoof; it didn’t really come from your account, the program just makes it look like it did.” 
Steve felt his eyes go wide. “They can do that?” 
“Pretty easily, actually, if you know what you’re doing.” 
Steve picked up the tablet again, frowning down at it. He felt silly now, but still couldn’t help being a little worried. Tony had just written it off so quickly. What if he was wrong? 
Tony sighed, coming around to stand beside him. “Look, Steve, just read it over. The writing is a mess. It’s barely comprehensible in some places.” 
“Not everyone gets to go to some fancy-ass finishing school, Tony,” Steve pointed out, sounding grumpier than he’d really intended. “Their grasp of the English language doesn’t mean it’s not legit.” 
“Okay,” Tony acknowledged, obviously starting to get frustrated in response to Steve’s tone. “But Steve… a ‘vulnerability in the router?’ Who has two thumbs and personally designed every bit of technology in this joint to make sure it would be completely secure?” He pointed to himself with both thumbs. “This guy! For fuck’s sake, Steve, your work computer doesn’t even have a webcam. How would they even get these screenshots?”
“Well, I don’t know, Tony,” Steve snapped back, once again opening his mouth without thinking. “You’ve got a robot butler, alright? Someone secretly taping me jerking off to Iron Man porn could definitely happen.” 
For a moment, Steve didn’t even realize what he’d said, glaring mutinously down at the email. But Tony’s lack of a snappy response grew suspicious, and Steve looked up to find Tony staring at him with wide, unblinking eyes, mouth hanging open. 
“I’m sorry. You jerk off to what now?”
“Uhh,” Steve cleared his throat, doing his best to give off an appearance of nonchalance. “You know, I just meant in like a… General sense of the meaning.” He was pretty sure the blush he could feel setting his cheeks on fire was giving him away. 
“Right,” Tony said, tilting his head as he eyed him consideringly. He leaned back against a table, crossing his legs at the ankles and folding his arms across his chest. “So you only jerk off to Iron Man porn in a general sense.” 
“Yes,” Steve said with confidence that he didn’t feel. “Wait, no! I don’t jerk off to Iron Man porn. I just meant that… someone could… jerk off to Iron Man porn.” 
“Oh, I see.” Tony nodded sagely, but he was openly grinning at him now. “You were referring to the general me, and not the specific me.”
Steve glared, but it was lacking in heat. “I know you’re just making fun of me,” he grumbled. Tony gave him a pointed look in return, like he deserved it. “Look, you’re very…” He gesticulated wildly at Tony, trying to encompass everything he was. “You. And then the suits are amazing pieces of technology, and the way they move and…” 
“Huh.” Tony licked his lip almost nervously, before a shit-eating smirk crossed his lips. “So is that why you spend so much time hanging out with me down here? Perving on my suits and storing up images for the spank bank?”
“No!” Steve burst out. “No, of course not. I’m here because I enjoy spending time with you!”
Tony’s eyebrow arched, tongue flicking out again. It was very distracting. “So then is it Iron Man porn you’re watching, or Tony Stark porn?” 
Steve’s eyes went wide. “There’s Tony Stark porn??” he demanded, before realizing that his voice probably came out just a little too enthused at that prospect. “I mean, uh… Like you were in a blue film, or…?” He trailed off as he suddenly realized what Tony probably meant.
“Uhh.” Tony’s expression was difficult to read. “Well, I was just talking about the knock off pornos, some guy with a business suit and a poorly maintained goatee banging a bunch of blondes. But, uh.” He rubbed at his eyebrow. “There were some definite lapses in judgment, when I was younger. Some tapes I made when I was too… inebriated to think the better of it, and had extremely poor taste in partners. They’re probably still floating around the internet, if you take the safe search off.”
It was said flippantly, but Steve spent a lot of time watching Tony. He could see the slight edge to his smile, the twist of his ankle that meant he actually was a little embarrassed, even if he was playing it off. 
“It’s Iron Man,” Steve told him quickly. “It’s definitely Iron Man. Something about that suit… I don’t know.” He shrugged helplessly.
“Ah, well then.” Tony was still grinning, wide and bright, but for just an instant it seemed like his eyes had dimmed slightly. “Remind me to adjust your permissions so you’re not allowed down here alone, huh?” 
Steve rolled his eyes. “Tony.” 
Tony waggled his eyebrows at him, laughing, but he was turning away and it felt like something had shifted between them. Steve couldn’t help feeling like he was disappointed, somehow. He couldn’t get a read on him, but Tony had been licking his lips an awful lot and, well. Steve had always been a bit of an insufferable idealist.
“I mean,” he started, before he could talk himself out of it. “I also didn’t know that Tony Stark was an option, so… That might change things, a little… Now…” 
Tony had gone still, his back a straight line, and with a sinking feeling Steve started to wonder if he’d gotten it entirely wrong. 
“I mean, um. Unless that makes you uncomfortable, in which case… I mean, I would never violate your privacy and look at your tapes, but if even the idea freaks you out, I just…” He winced as Tony turned around again, openly grinning at him again. “I just mean if it freaks you out we can forget I ever said anything,” he finished lamely. He could feel his skin growing hotter and he heaved out a sigh before burying his face in his hands. “Don’t suppose you have a built-in feature that let’s the floor open up and swallow me whole?” he mumbled into his skin. 
“No,” Tony told him, and there was laughter in his voice. “But I’ll get to work on that right away.” 
Steve just nodded, still hiding his face as he waited for the flaming heat of his skin to die down a little. Before it did though, Tony was kicking his ankle. 
“Hey. Steve, you’re fine. I’m not mad. I’m really, really not mad.” 
Steve nodded again, finally lifting his head back up although he couldn’t quite bring himself to look at Tony directly. “Right, well. I’m going to quit the team and become a vigilante instead. Maybe make my own costume… I’ve always liked blue and yellow.” 
He made no actual attempt to leave though, couldn’t seem to manage to remove himself from Tony’s orbit. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Tony chewing at his lip. 
“You know,” Tony said after a minute. “I never actually told anyone this, not even Rhodey — don’t know why, we were dating for fuck’s sake. But uh.” He shook his head, realizing he was distracted. “When I was a kid, I had this vintage Captain America poster on my wall?” 
Steve's head snapped over to look at him, feeling his breath catch in his chest. Tony shook his head, grinning a little foolishly. 
“Come on, Steve. You know where I’m going with this.”
Steve shrugged, grinning at him helplessly. “Tell me anyway.” 
Meeting his eyes, Tony kept perfect eye contact as he continued. “So when I was a little older, I started getting these urges…” He smirked when Steve rolled his eyes. “Spent a lot of nights jerking off to that poster, Steve. Fantasizing about, well… You. And honestly? Not a lot has changed since then.” He pushed off the table he was leaning against, moving forward. Steve’s heart stopped as Tony stalked toward him until he was close enough that Steve could practically feel his breath on his lips. “Tony Stark is definitely an option,” he breathed.
For a moment silence hung between them, heavy as Tony waited for Steve to make the next move. And then all at once Steve surged forward, hands curling tight around Tony’s hips as he yanked him up tight against his body. He’d probably used a little more force that was strictly necessary, but judging by the way Tony’s eyes darkened, and the soft, breathy noise he made, he didn’t mind in the slightest. Steve hesitated only a moment longer, eyes locked with Tony’s, before he leaned in to kiss him. It was gentle at first, a little tentative, but then Tony made another soft, needy noise, and Steve couldn’t stop himself from reacting, pushing the kiss deeper, licking along the seam of Tony’s lips until he opened up for him, kissing him until Tony was out of breath and pulling back with heavy panting breaths. 
They stood there, grinning goofily at each other for a ridiculously long minute before Tony finally cleared his throat. “So, Cap? Did I measure up to all your fantasies?”
“More than,” Steve told him quickly, not even giving it a second thought. “Jesus Christ, Tony.” His hands flexed on Tony’s hips, and then he was drawing him in for another kiss, feeling his knees go a little weak as he felt Tony’s cock hardening against his thigh. 
“Um.” Tony was looking a little flushed when they pulled away again, and Steve delighted in the fact. “No pressure, if you’re not up for it.” He snickered then, pressing his face into Steve’s shoulder for a minute as he got his ridiculous laugh under control. “Metaphorically speaking, since I can tell part of you is very up for it.” He emphasized this with a purposeful grind of his leg against Steve’s dick and Steve groaned in exasperation even as he nearly choked at the sensation. “What is it I see in you again?” 
Tony beamed at him, and then his hands were curling around the back of Steve’s neck, dragging him down for another kiss that had Steve seeing stars. 
“That,” he told him smugly, and Steve couldn’t even argue. “But as I was saying, if you want, we could, uh… See how many more of your fantasies we can bring to life?” 
He was waggling his eyebrows like an absolute idiot, but there was also something soft and tentative and a little nervous in his expression. It cleared a moment later, when Steve nodded his head so fast that he nearly gave himself whiplash. “Yeah, that uh… That sounds good. Please.” 
Tony’s grin grew impossibly wider, and then he was turning around, heading for the far corner of the lab. “Normally I’d try to impress you with my incredible view and high thread count sheets,” he said, glancing over a shoulder and snickering when he caught Steve blatantly checking out the bounce of his ass. “But uh… You’ve already seen all that, and I honestly don’t think I can stand to wait long enough to get you upstairs.” He plopped himself down on the side of the cot he kept down there, legs spread wide, and crooked his fingers at Steve. “C’mere, baby.” 
Steve eyed the cot skeptically. “I don’t think that’s gonna hold us,” he told him, although it didn’t stop him from practically sprinting over to join him. 
“Relax, handsome. It’s reinforced for Iron Man. We’ll be just fine. It’s science.”
Steve was skeptical about this particular brand of ‘science’ but Tony was leaning back against the mattress now, arching an eyebrow at him enticingly. His t-shirt had rucked up a little, revealing a deliciously tanned bit of skin at his hip, and the image was too good to resist. Steve moved forward until he was kneeling on the mattress, straddling Tony’s hips and looming over him. Tony licked his lips, staring up at him with wide eyes, and Steve leaned down to kiss him, groaning as their upper bodies pressed together.
“Fuck,” he cursed, couldn’t stop himself from grinding down against him, toes curling at the pressure on his cock. “Jesus, Tony. Wanted this for so long.” 
Tony bit his lip, looking absolutely delighted, and then he was leaning back until he was flat on his back, spreading his legs to make room for Steve in between them. He curled a hand in Steve’s wrinkled t-shirt and tugged at it. “This? Needs to come off.” 
“You first,” Steve told him, trying to at least pretend like he was cool.
Tony arched an eyebrow, looking like he was considering arguing just on the principle of it, but then he relented, sitting up a little to haul his t-shirt up over his head. He didn’t give Steve time to look before he was grabbing at the hem of his shirt too, yanking until Steve shifted enough to let him pull it off over his head, leaving his hair rumpled and messy. Tony grinned at him, combing it back from his hair in a surprisingly soft gesture. Then his eyes were drifting lower, catching somewhere around Steve’s nipples.
“Christ, look at you,” he mumbled. His hips rocked up and Steve groaned, fingers clenching against Tony’s hips, grinding down against him again. 
“Tony,” he gasped, head tipping forward to press against his shoulder. Tony huffed out a low laugh, and he slid a hand down Steve’s chest, tracing the lines of his pecs and making Steve pant into his skin. “Tony,” he said again. “Shit, I’m —,”
“Yeah?” Tony asked. He sounded like he was smirking. “Feel good?” 
Steve nodded, unable to put into words exactly how sensitive his chest was. His cock ached and he couldn’t seem to stop himself from grinding down against Tony over and over, feeling his balls pulling up tight. He mouthed desperately over Tony’s neck, sucking against his skin, and Tony’s legs tightened around his hips, his fingers tangling in the strands of Steve’s hair and tugging just hard enough to send sharp fizzles of pleasure shooting up Steve’s spine. 
“Me too,” Tony hummed, rubbing up against him. “God Steve, you feel amazing.” 
He groaned deep in his throat, tilting his head when Steve’s teeth scraped over his pulse point. And then his hand was shifting again, pinching and rubbing over Steve’s nipple. Steve’s eyes went wide and sightless, and he sobbed a moan into Tony’s neck as he came right there, grinding down against Tony as he dragged out his orgasm. 
“Oh god,” he muttered when he felt like he could breathe again. “Oh fuck.”
He could feel Tony’s hand rubbing soft and soothing over the back of his neck, and he squirmed a little in embarrassment. 
“Um.” He lifted his head to give Tony a somewhat sheepish look. “Hey.” 
“Hey.” Tony was grinning back at him, actually looking pleased. He shifted a little, moving back until he was on the bed properly, sitting up and leaning into the couple of pillows at the head of the bed, half dragging Steve with him owing to the way they were all tangled up together. His grin grew wider when he was met with Steve’s flushed face, and he brushed a flop of hair back from his forehead. “Don’t worry about it, Cap,” he told him, his other hand stroking absently over Steve’s thigh. “Happens to the best of us. Honestly, I’m flattered that I--,” 
Tony cut himself as his hand shifted over a little too far and Steve made a faint, punched out noise. For a long minute Tony just blinked at him, and then, deliberately this time, he gripped Steve through his sweatpants, thumb rubbing over the head of his still-hard cock through the damp material.
“Jesus fucking Christ,” he breathed, soft like Steve wasn’t supposed to hear. “Are you… Again? Already??” 
“Uh.” Steve felt his cheeks flush even deeper red. “Well, still. But yeah.” 
A high-pitched, desperate noise slipped out of Tony’s mouth and his hands pulled away from Steve, clenching against the sheets like he was trying not to come himself. “Is…” He cleared his throat and tried again. “Is this a common thing, or am I just special?” 
“Yes,” Steve answered before he’d even fully processed the question. “Yes, you’re definitely special.” He watched Tony’s face go soft and a little flustered at how sincere he was. “But uh… Two or three times is pretty much the norm for me.” 
Tony blew out a long breath, shaking his head and looking absolutely thrilled. “I am one lucky man.” 
Steve couldn’t help smirking at him. “Not yet,” he told him. “But you’re about to get very lucky.” 
Tony blinked at him, then started laughing, and while he was still cackling delightedly, Steve ambushed him. Getting his hands around Tony’s hips, he yanked him down a little lower. Amusement still on his face, Tony looked up at him with an arched eyebrow, clearly waiting for Steve’s next move. Steve ran his palms up and down over Tony’s thighs, noting the way Tony’s eyes followed the motion, the way his abs clenched at how big Steve’s hands were against his legs. 
“Can I…?”Steve didn’t finish the question, instead shifting his hand to toy with the button of Tony’s jeans. Tony swallowed hard and nodded, staring at Steve with wide, dark eyes. 
“Be my guest.”
His cock twitched.
With one orgasm out of the way, Steve was feeling more relaxed, not quite so desperate as before. He couldn’t resist teasing Tony now, sliding his hands up his thighs again, thumbs on either side of his cock, not quite touching him through his jeans. He felt the strong muscles in Tony’s legs clench, flicked his eyes up to see Tony open his mouth like he wanted to protest only to clench his jaw and keep quiet, eyeing Steve as he waited for his next move. Steve grinned and rewarded him with a quick stroke of his thumb over the bulge in the denim, his own cock giving a gratified twitch at the sharp inhale that Tony couldn’t quite hold back. 
“You’re a fucking tease,” Tony breathed, sounding both surprised and pleased by this revelation. Steve looked up at him again, gave him a wink, and took advantage of Tony’s resulting eyeroll to thumb open the button of his jeans.
Tony groaned at that, the sound coming from deep in his chest, the perfect blend of aroused and content. His hips twitched a little as some of the pressure was relieved and when Steve’s eyes tracked the movement, Tony rocked them again intentionally, letting his pants slide a little lower on his hips. 
Steve grinned, and instead of opening his pants further, he curled his hands around Tony’s thighs again, easily spreading his legs wider, just because he could. 
“Can I blow you?” he asked, just to see if he could pull another one of those incredible sounds out of Tony. This one was better, a high pitched breathy noise, like Steve had left him utterly shocked for a brief moment. 
“Yes,” Tony told him, nodding a little frantically and mussing up his hair against the pillows. “Yes, absolutely. Hell, Steve. You get these pants off me, and you can do whatever the fuck you want.” 
“Oh yeah?” Steve grinned and settled himself between Tony’s legs, unable to resist rocking down against the mattress for a moment. His own pants were starting to feel sticky and uncomfortable now, and he considered a minute before shoving them off entirely, the movement quick and perfunctory. 
Tony made a soft noise, clearly disappointed that he wasn’t getting a better view, and Steve hid his smile against his hip. Without further ado, Steve slid Tony’s zipper down and then shoved his jeans down over his hips. Tony moved with him easily, as in sync with each other as ever, arching and wiggling in the appropriate moments to get himself unclothed as quickly as possible. When he saw the bright red silky thing that Tony was wearing underneath, the thin fabric straining against the weight of his hardon, Steve had to take a minute to just shake his head. 
“Jesus Christ,” he muttered. “You’re so fucking… Decadent.” 
“You say that like it’s a bad thing. Nothing wrong with a little decadence, Steve. You ever try anything besides those cotton boxer briefs you like so much? I’ve got a hookup, if you wanted to... expand your horizons, a little.” Tony’s gaze went a little unfocused, mind jumping seventeen steps ahead, as usual. “God, you’d look amazing in something lacy. Maybe a pretty little thong, show off that ridiculous butt of yours. Or--,” 
Tony made a noise dangerously close to a squeal as Steve, without any warning, cut him off by dipping his head, sucking at him through the fabric. Tony clapped a hand over his mouth, like he could somehow take the sound back. “Or that. That’s good too.”
Steve huffed out a laugh, drawing another gasp out of Tony as the sensation vibrated up his dick. “You got it, boss,” he hummed, grinning when Tony shifted beneath his hands. 
“You’re such an asshole,” Tony protested, although he was laughing. Steve just looked up at him and winked again; if Tony thought he was an asshole, he could show him a real asshole. 
Taking his time, Steve placed gentle, sucking kisses up the length of his thick cock, still through the silky red fabric, more of a tease than any real pressure. Tony shuddered, whining under his breath, and out of the corner of his eye, Steve saw his fingers twist in the sheets beside his hips. 
Steve pulled back long enough to catch Tony’s hands in his, meeting his eyes steadily as he placed them on the back of his head and gave Tony a pointed look. 
“Jesus Christ,” Tony groaned, head tipping back. It didn’t stop his fingers from tangling in Steve’s hair. “This is not what I was expecting from you.” 
Steve shivered at the idea that Tony might have thought about this before. “Well, you know me. I’m just full of surprises.” He didn’t give Tony a chance to answer before he ducked lower, nuzzling at his balls. Tony made a pained noise, like it was so good he couldn’t stand it, and tightened his legs around Steve’s shoulders. Steve grinned and moved his hands back to Tony’s thighs, sliding them up and running the pads of his fingers through the coarse hair there. He slid them up until they were sliding under the elastic at the tops of his legs, teasing the skin hidden from view. He watched Tony’s cock twitch again, as he slid toward the crease of his groin. 
“Fuck,” Tony groaned, yanking at Steve’s hair until he shuddered. His voice was rough and hoarse. “Steve, if you don’t get these fucking things off of me…” 
Steve grinned, dipping his head to scrape his teeth over Tony’s hipbone. But he was itching for more too, and relented after that, pulling his hands free to grab at the waistband instead. Tony made a pleased sound, arching his hips to help Steve slide the fitted material down over his legs. 
“Shit,” Steve breathed as he was met with Tony’s thick cock, flushed and full, curving up toward his belly. “Look at you.” He blew out a slow breath, grinning when it breezed over Tony’s sensitive skin, making his cock twitch and back arch again. 
“Steve,” he groaned. “Steve, come on. Give me more, I need more. Please.” 
Steve shivered, rewarded Tony with a lick from base to tip. “I like the sound of that,” he said, hearing how low his own voice had gone. “You saying please.”
“Yeah?” Tony was grinning, obviously playing all cool and collected, but Steve had seen the wall his cock had throbbed. “You gonna make me beg, Rogers?” 
“Maybe.” Steve settled back between Tony’s legs, teasing his legs with his tongue and teeth, avoiding his cock altogether. Tony made a soft whining noise, trying to push himself closer, tugging at Steve’s hair to try and get him where he wanted, but Steve responded by pinning his hips to the mattress, holding him still as he mapped out the sensitive parts of his body, the places that made Tony twitch and moan and tug reflexively at the strands of Steve’s hair. He didn’t relent, no matter how much Tony tried, teasing him until he was a panting, shifting mess, head rolling back against the pillows as Steve wound him up until he couldn’t see straight. 
“Fu-uck,” Tony gasped, arching his back and tipping his head back. His neck made an enticing image, and for a moment Steve was distracted, thinking about how badly he wanted to mark it up. “Okay, Christ, you win. Please Steve, please. I’ll do anything, just please. Fucking touch me. Let me come, Steve, please.” 
Steve had ignored his own erection in favour of tormenting Tony, but it came back with a vengeance at the sound of Tony begging for him, his cock throbbing between his legs. He ground down against the mattress once, stroked a thumb over the curve of Tony’s hipbone. 
“Yeah,” he said, suddenly done with teasing. “Yeah, sweetheart. Whatever you want, you got it.” And then, because he’d always be a troll, he glanced up at Tony with a wicked smile. “Hey, did you know that I can hold my breath for fifteen minutes?” 
And while Tony was still parsing that in his flustered state, Steve curled his hand around the base of his cock and lowered his head, not stopping until Tony was pressing into his throat and Steve was groaning around his mouthful. 
“Oh Christ,” Tony wailed, hips bucking despite having nowhere else to go. He yanked hard at Steve’s hair, and Steve felt it in his balls. “Oh fuck, Steve, your fucking mouth.” He rocked desperately against him, going nearly cross-eyed as Steve sucked around him. He cursed and shifted as Steve pulled slowly off his cock, tongued at the head, before sucking him back down again. “I’m not… You can’t… Don’t judge me cause I’m gonna come in about two -- fuck!” 
Steve’s free hand moved, thumb rubbing harshly over his perineum, and for a brief moment Tony went stock still before he was coming hard, hands holding Steve’s head down as he came down his throat. The feeling was too much for Steve, who rocked down hard against the mattress, spilling against the sheets. 
It was a minute before Tony’s hands let go enough for Steve to pull off, panting more from the thrill of his orgasm than from any real exertion. He rubbed his sweaty forehead against the smooth skin of Tony’s abdomen, feeling it flex as he tried to catch his breath, and he grinned as Tony’s hand resettled on the back of his head, combing absently over the short strands. 
“Oh fuck,” Tony finally said, sounding like he’d only just remembered how to speak. “Oh fuck, that was… That was incredible, Steve.” There was no teasing in his voice, sweet and sincere, and Steve felt a warm, comfortable weight settle over him at the sound. 
Lifting himself up on slightly shaking limbs, he crawled up the mattress until he was face-to-face with Tony again, flopping down on the pillows beside him. It was a tight fit, but gave him an excuse to wrap an arm around Tony’s waist. “Yeah,” he admitted, aware that he was grinning like an absolute idiot. “Yeah, it really was.” 
Tony grinned back at him, equally stupidly, and then leaned forward, kissing Steve all slow and lazy now. 
“Oh hey,” he said, pulling back suddenly. “Sorry about, uh…” He gestured vaguely between them. “Coming down your throat without asking like that. Terrible sex etiquette.” 
Steve snorted, pressing his head to Tony’s collarbone as he laughed giddily. “It’s fine,” he promised him. “I wouldn’t’ve let you if I didn’t want it.” He lifted his head again to find Tony watching him with that same soft expression and he reached out, catching Tony’s hand and toying with his long fingers. “So. What now?” he asked, not quite meeting Tony’s eyes. 
“Now?” Tony repeated. “Now I’m thinking we take a shower, get cleaned up, and then maybe go upstairs and crawl into my bigger, more comfortable bed for a couple hours together?” He trailed off a little hopefully, and Steve looked up at him, felt his breath catch. “And then, uh…” Tony ducked his head and twisted his wrist so he could rub his thumb over Steve’s pulse point. “Then maybe I could take you to dinner? I’ve got this little Italian place I think you’d love.” 
“Yes,” Steve told him, and it was entirely too earnest but Tony didn’t look like he minded at all. “Yes, that sounds perfect.”

Personal thoughts on… 2019 releases (Part II)
Note: As the title says, these are just personal opinions on Choices books and chapters. Of course, you may agree or disagree with them, I only use this platform to express my thoughts on what I read every week.
Welcome to the second part of this three-part post. As I said in the first post, I will include current releases and books that were released on 2018 but finished in 2019. The list is organized in alphabetical order and it doesn’t include the VIP Books (as I don’t have access to the feature) or the seasonal books (as I’ll talk about them in another post, after all of them have been fully released). You may see Part I here.
PS: I’ll do my best to upload Part III today (Dec. 31), but I can’t make any promises because I won’t be home on New Year’s eve.
Desire & Decorum, Book 3 (August 4, 2019 - December 1, 2019): This is the only wedding book that made real sense to me this year… and it’s definitely my favorite wedding book of the year. It was the perfect closure for a series that didn’t convince me that much at first, but that I learned to love over time. We had this whole new plot with Harry that was a little weak, but at the same time it was a smart move, as it helped to keep a balance and to not overcharge things with the wedding. But can we just talk about the final chapter? It was simply adorable, I loved every part of it (honestly, I haven’t heard of anyone complaining on the final chapter yet). If I have to criticize something, I’d say the writers went too far with Mr. Sinclaire. The man went through hell in the first two books, I thought they would give him a break in the third one… I was so wrong! But overall, I really liked this book, the new characters such as Harry, Briar’s mom and Hamid’s mom gave some fresh air to the story and new plots such as matchmaking Luke and Anabelle’s sister were a nice twist. I’m pretty happy with this book.  
High School Story: Class Act, Book 1 (October 8, 2018 - January 14, 2019): New cast, same school. I couldn’t actually say if I like or dislike this book more than the previous series because I actually feel it’s just impossible to compare them. The writers had a very difficult work to do, as they needed to make this cast different from the HSS one within the same environment, and I’d say they succeeded. Not only you can see the problems are different, but also the way they address their relationships is different, and it’s quite evident that they are younger kids that are transitioning into their teenage years more than teens thinking about graduating and going to college. We also went from this super popular MC and being prom king/queen to a MC who embarrasses himself/herself quite often and whose friends (except for Rory) are probably amongst the most unpopular kids in school. Finally, the fact that the story focuses in one specific school area (the theatre club) was a pretty smart move to not make this story a mess. So overall, it’s not one of my favorite books, but I enjoyed reading it and I appreciate the writers’ effort to make this series different from the first one.
High School Story: Class Act, Book 2 (February 11, 2019 - May 20, 2019): This is the theatre book where theatre is not seen anywhere. I’m not sure if this is the weakest book in the series (I think I still need to realize how Book 3 will end in a few weeks), but I admit I had to review the chapters’ summary because I couldn’t even remember what the book was about. The plot was simply lame, there are no big highlights in the story, we spent like half of it in the middle of a fight between Rory and our twin because they both want to be school president (can we talk about the fact that Maria is graduating?) and we appeared on TV. Our MC simply didn’t shine or did anything truly remarkable during this book. If it weren’t for Ajay’s parents’ divorce and the role our MC played on supporting his/her friend, this book would have been easily forgotten.  
High School Story: Class Act, Book 3 (October 30, 2019 - Present): Honestly, I’m not a fan of mixing both HSS gangs in Book 3. It feels weird not to be able to control a MC that I was able to manage in the past. I also understand all the hype for going to London, but did we really need as many people as we see in this book? Where are people like Natalie or Danielle? I mean, I don’t like them, but they’ve belonged to this group since day 1. Anyway… I’m guessing this is the way the writers found for us to say goodbye to this series. After six books, I think it’s the perfect time to put High School Story to rest for a while, before it becomes a mess. Even though there are some chapters left, I can already tell what my favorite thing about this book (and this series) is: the issues these kids have to face in their personal lives are serious stuff. In the past, Rory’s mom had cancer and Ajay’s parents got divorced, and now we talk about Skye coming from an abusive family and our twins trying to find their roots. That was enough. I don’t think we needed Rory and Ajay facing new problems in this book. Instead, I would have preferred to see Rory working with Maria or Ajay dealing with the fact that he became “the man of the house” after his parents’ divorce. The idea was to see them “growing” throughout the series; unfortunately, this hasn’t happened yet.
It Lives Beneath (October 10, 2018 - January 30, 2019): This is the only book in the list I haven’t read… and there is a very specific reason for it. When It Lives In The Woods was first released, I noticed that a lot of the screenshots people were posting included spiders… a lot of them. As an aracnophobic myself, I just couldn’t even begin the first chapter of that book. Then, It Lives Beneath was released and I noticed that there were some characters from the first book, so I said “mmm… maybe I do need to read the first book because it might be linked to the second one”, so I never read it. However, I have to agree with the fandom on the fact that we need more mystery and horror books in the app. Sure, I’m a sucker for romance books, but at the same time, I’m totally capable to understand that we need more diversity in terms of books. So I’m totally waiting for this series to be revisited in the future, the fans deserve it.  
Mother Of The Year (August 30, 2019 - Present): This God-tier book is one of those gifts that you don’t expect to be that nice, but it ends up being a treasure. It definitely climbed up in my personal list and went straight to the Top 2 of my favorite books in the app. Nobody had much hope on this story, but we ended up meeting an adorable daughter, a mom that was a warrior, three LIs that were simply adorable, one of the best BBFs that Choices has given us and Luz Mendez, probably one of the best characters in the app. Overall, the plot and the characters (even the evil ones!) were so real and relatable that I have to admit I went through every single possible feeling while reading the book… I laughed, I cried, I screamed, and I got mad at times. And of course, my heart broke when we realized that this was a standalone book. But do I really want it to become a series? I’m not that sure. There is a part of me who wouldn’t like to see a second book because the ending was so precious that I wouldn’t like it to be ruined with a second book. On the other hand, I love the story so much that it makes me sad to realize we won’t be getting anything new from these beautiful people. However, I think the story is perfect to make a Christmas or a Halloween special, focused on the kids… maybe even a summer book! This book definitely deserves to be revisited in the future.  
Nightbound (April 24, 2019 - July 31, 2019): I’m not surprised by the end of Nightbound, but I’m definitely sad. I had problems trying to understand the book at first because I’m not the type of person who’s into supernatural and magical stuff (I have to admit this also causes me some problems even when trying to understand the plots in books such as Bloodbound and The Elementalists, despite I think those are good series). I may even have to replay it to fully understand it. But there are some things that are pretty clear to me: the book is well written, the book is good, the book has awesome characters and most importantly, the book is DIFFERENT, something that this fandom has been asking for a long time now. So I was quite shocked when the writers said the book wasn’t doing as good as they thought. Does this book deserve a sequel? Absolutely! Even though I think it got a proper closure, I also think the plot has a lot of potential that could be explored. As that won’t be happening, I really hope to see some of these characters in Bloodblound 3, just as we saw Cal in Bloodbound 2.  
Open Heart (February 22, 2019 - June 7, 2019): Sorry, but right now I think my opinion will be completely biased because this is my absolute favorite book in the app. There’s just nothing I don’t love about it. The balance between the romance and the professional stories is one of the bests (if not the best) in the app, the characters are well written, the medical plot is interesting and it addresses many of the current conflicts in health care… it’s just a masterpiece. On the romantic side, it doesn’t matter if you go straight to Bryce or Jackie or if you preferred the slow burn with Rafael (actually, can he be considered a “slow burn”?) or Ethan, the writers took their time for the MC to befriend them, we got to deeply know these people (except for Bryce and Jackie… I’m so waiting to know more about them!) before making a choice, and not all of the romance stories ended up with happy endings and fairy tails, so yeah… it’s my perfect book. Can’t wait for the second one!
Passport to Romance (March 20, 2019 - June 19, 2019): Probably my biggest disappointment of the year. The idea behind this story seemed nice, we could have learned about so many places, we could have laughed about so many of the troubles that people travelling on a budget face, we could have had a series instead of a standalone book. Instead, we got a MC who was always late, who seemed to be quite irresponsible with her job, who lived a life of luxury and who suddenly became BFF with people he/she had just met. Come on, they were nice people (even though at some point I just wanted to make Elliot disappear), but again… we had just met, it’s not like you can’t live without them. On top of that, I can’t even remember how many times this gang violated some rules… sure, Yvette was happy, but it might have cost you an expulsion from Europe, which is not nice if you’re a travel blogger. Let’s add up the non-sense of some situations. I know that books are supposed to be a mix between fiction and reality, but I think they went too far this time. I mean… why would the coach allow Ahmed to travel with a group of strangers instead of travelling with the rest of the team? Especially if he’s a professional athlete and he’s competing in an important championship... sorry guys, but there’s nothing I can rescue from this book.
Platinum (May 30, 2019 - September 19, 2019): This is definitely one of my favorite stories this year, and sorry… but I will never get over the fact that this is a standalone book. This book is so unique in so many ways… for the first time, we heard voices and we heard people singing… we also got Avery and Raleigh, two LIs that were gender customizable… the secondary characters were gold… the plot was so cliché but so attractive at the same time… and I could continue. Reading it every week was a real pleasure, you were actually waiting to find out what would happen the next week, and at some point, it seemed like it was the only book that people talked about. However, creating this book was expensive, and well... that just sucks. It would have been so nice to see our MC touring with her friends, taking new risks, visiting new places, and receiving the rock star treatment that she deserved. This book still has a solid fanbase (especially in Tumblr), so it’s just sad it won’t be revisited in the future.

Someday Stars
Chapter 1/? Malec (Shadowhunters AU) Summary: Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane are both YouTube musicians who dream of making it big some day. When Simon Lewis and his band, Rock Solid Panda, go on tour and ask them to open for him, they both realize this could be their window to something greater.
Also here on AO3
Alec rushed around his apartment, creating a tornado's path with every step as his hands grabbed clothes as fast as they could. He knew he should have folded them after getting home from the laundromat last night. The email from Simon Lewis's management team still sat open on his laptop, which had been thrown unceremoniously to the end of his bed, the words still sitting on the screen: We will be back in New York City tonight and we would love to invite you to join our tour.If you will join us, you will be opening after Magnus Bane, and followed by Simon and the band. We will provide the bus, Simon does have room on his own. Please bring any merchandise you would like to sell. [Text from Izzy] OMG OMG OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS??????? YES, DO IT DO IT DO IT [Text from Izzy] while you're at it, get me some free tickets [Text from Mom] Oh, I'm so proud of you Alec! The book store and myself will be fine. Isabelle can help me. Go! I'm sure you'll make more money on the tour than here, anyway. We need to empty out your web store and send you with merch! [Text from Izzy] waIT I JUST SAW MAGNUS BANE IS THERE???!!!! TICKETS, BROTHER, YOU THREE ARE MY DREAM TOUR. [Text from Mom] Isabelle is screaming, I can hear her from downstairs. With each vibration Alec felt his anxiety grow, his hands shaking as he shoved the last thing he needed into the second suitcase. His eyes scanned over each text as he struggled to hold his phone, the smile growing on his face with each text they read. They lingered on the name Magnus Bane as he read Izzy's texts, he knew the name but he wasn't sure if he'd actually sat and listened to him. Both of them were musicians on YouTube aspiring to be as big as Simon had gotten, though according to Izzy, Magnus had just a slightly bigger following than Alec now because of the tour. Taking in a deep breath, Alec tilted his head back and closed his eyes, trying to focus himself on relaxing- he still had six hours until the tour reached New York City from their first shows in Boston and Hartford the previous nights.
"Alexa, start YouTube."
Alec said to the TV, releasing the button on the firestick as he moved into the kitchen. The cardboard of the pizza box he'd retrieved from within the fridge gave a dull thud as it was tossed onto the counter and a slice of cheese was taken out. "Magnus Bane," he said around a full mouth once he'd selected the search option, leaning against the counter as he watched the TV begin pulling up the search results. A few clicks had him on the fellow singers profile, his eyes scanning over the short bio on the About page. **NOW TOURING WITH ROCK SOLID PANDA** Singer/Pianist/Loverboy Web Shop Insta Twitter
Moving onto the main tab, Alec scrolled through, some of the highlighted ones being of Magnus sitting in a room decked out like a studio, or being in an actual studio. One or two was of him and a girl with a bright smile and dark eyes, her lips painted deep red and eyes with as much eyeliner as Magnus had. Alec noticed there was a trend of hearts on each video title with her in it, no doubt this was someone he liked or was dating and it came as no surprise, Alec thought as he took another bite of the pizza, Magnus was pretty attractive.
Scrolling to the top once more and finally selecting videos, he was surprised to see a video had been uploaded the day before, the preview screenshot much different than the bright, usually gold and purple themed photoshopped pictures he did in most of the videos Alec had scrolled past. This time is was Magnus illuminated on a stage by a single light from above, his head bowed as a grand piano sat at the mercy of his fingers. The picture was only titled HALLELUJAH, rather than the more descriptive titles on other videos.
Alec selected the video and moved to the couch to flop down with the pizza box. The camera shook a little, it was clear someone was holding it rather than it being on a tripod and self-shot. Alec wondered if it was someone from Simon's team or if Magnus had crew of his own- something Alec realized he didn't have any of which might create problems down the line. One of his dogs came over to the couch, a whine in her throat and vibrating against his knee as she rested her chin on him, looking longingly at the pizza in his hand as the piano started, soft and slow. Alec took a final bite before offering half of the crust to the dog, saving the other half for her brother.
Alec choked as he heard the voice come from his TV.
His whipped back to the screen as Magnus sang the first verse, his voice soft but firm like the notes being played on the piano. Despite the camera staying focused on Magnus and the piano as a whole, only moving as the person slowly circled the two, Alec couldn't stop staring at the look on Magnus's face. It didn't take a genius to know something was bothering him, that bright smile and lit up eyes from the video previews replaced by something dark, sad. His voice wasn't forced, but there was something in it that Alec knew all too well, he was singing this to someone- this upload was deliberate, a public liberation.
The camera came around to Magnus's side as he reached the second verse and once again his face was changing, sadness turning to anger and Alec could see the tears in Magnus's eyes. Alec's hand shifted on the remote, the volume on the screen going up as he leaned forward, not even noticing the other dog coming and slowly stealing the other crust half from his hand. “She tied you to her kitchen chair,” Alec could hear Magnus's voice getting louder, angrier, hearing the echo of both his singing and the piano echoing through the empty hall unveiled behind him as the person filming moved.
"And she broke your throne and she cut your hair," Magnus was hitting the keys harder. "And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah." Magnus's voice finally wavered, cracking as the pain seeped out in a moment of weakness, his fingers slammed down the final notes of the second verse before stilling. Alec's breath caught in his throat as he watched the singer take in a deep breath, the sound in the echoing silence monumental as the person filming paused, whether on purpose or a sudden feeling of remorse. "Hallelujah, hallelujah," It took a little under thirty seconds, but Magnus was playing again and this time, he was a broken man nearly whispering his lament. This was for the girl with the heart in her title. Alec finally found his breath as his lungs screamed for air, his heart pounding in his chest and, much to his surprise, his eyes stung with tears for the man on the screen. He didn't even know Magnus yet and already his heart was breaking with him as if he'd been through whatever relationship issues Magnus was having as well. Alec knew he put a lot of emotion in his music, thoughts and dreams into his lyrics, but here was someone who managed to bring him to a level he'd never reached before when listening to a performance. Whether it was the anger resurfacing or a sudden strength that Magnus had forgotten was in him, Alec came back to the moment when he heard Magnus singing the final verse of the song, his voice rising strong, normally low notes changed to high in such a beautiful time and contrast with the notes played on the piano, made his own and suddenly Alec could tell why Izzy was such a fan of the man on the screen. The final 'Hallelujah's' resonated through the hall, the camera recording him picking up each echo of the lyrics until the last note played and the echos faded away. Alec swallowed harshly, his tongue darting out over dry lips only to find everything was dry from his mouth being agape. Alec would be touring with the one who just poured his heart and soul out to not only the piano but his virtual audience. Magnus was a performer to a level that Alec wasn't sure he was ready to follow with his mellow tunes. Magnus was... amazing and Alec knew he needed to meet him. -- Simon waved Alec along behind him, his big goofy smile bright in the near darkness as the sun set behind the tall buildings in the horizon. Lights were just starting to come on and Alec had already been given a tour of Simon's bus, his bunk, and was alerted that all staff needs would be handled by Simon's staff due to the late notice in having him join the tour. It was a relief to say the least, since Alec wasn't used to any sort of tours, he was used to the safety of his recording room behind a microphone and camera with his guitar on his lap. "Come on, this is Magnus's bus. I'll introduce you to him." Simon said, not bothering to knock on the door and instead putting in the code on the door and letting himself in. It took only seconds after the door opened and they stepped up onto the stairs that a woman's harsh voice filled the bus. "You can't just tell me to leave! We've been together for years! YEARS, Magnus!" "Well maybe you should have thought of those years before you fucked two guys on the staff, Camille!" Magnus's voice snapped back, no hint of control there like he'd had in the video that was uploaded. Simon looked back at Alec, behind him on the stairs, like a deer caught in headlights. Neither wanted to move, neither wanted to say anything about them being there, purely out of fear of the repercussions. Alec shrugged and glanced behind him to see how they could back out slowly and quietly, only then noticing what looked like Magnus's staff out on the sidewalk behind them, seemingly waiting for the fight. Great of them to warn he and Simon. "It was a mistake! I had too much to drink, you know how things get!" Camille retorted, her voice going from harsh to pleading, Alec almost able to hear the tears in her voice. Cheap shot, he thought. It was Magnus's silence that had Alec peeking up slowly over the partition between the bus and the stairs, not daring to go up any higher like Simon was. Simon was actually impressed the two hadn't noticed them yet. Magnus looked done, his eyes tired and his lips void of the bright smile he had in every video; instead turned down in a deep frown. He looked thoughtfully at Camille and Alec almost wanted to tell him not to cave to guilt tactics, but this wasn't his place. He didn't know either of them, he didn't know the situation other than her cheating- he bit back the comment. "Camille, you need to leave. It's done. We're done." "Magnus, we--" "We went through this once before, two years ago, remember? You drank too much, you got loose with the wrong guy. I forgave you and said I would never do it again and now here we are, Camille. Back to this same old shit and I'm tired. I want to make something of my life and having to worry about keeping you close so you don't just fuck someone with a bottle of gin? That's not part of my life. Please get out." Magnus said finally and Alec watched him stare Camille in the eye, holding strong to his words. It was something Alec wasn't sure he could bring himself to do in a situation like this, but he felt an almost pride in Magnus for it. "No. No, Magnus, we can talk this o--" Camille started, though Simon clearing his throat caught her attention and she looked over at him, her pleading look turning into a sneer. "We're having a conversation here!" "One that it sounds like Magnus is done with. Look, this is between you two, but we have a show coming up tomorrow and I wanted to introduce Magnus to Alec..." Simon trailed off as he motioned behind him to Alec, who had ducked back down as if he wasn't there. Well, the jig was up. Alec straightened up, giving the two further in the bus a sheepish smile and a hesitant wave. "Uh, hey. I'm Alec Li--" "Lightwood." Magnus finished, sounding miserable still but Alec gave him a break on the smile he tried to force on his face. "I've seen and subscribe to you, you do great work." Alec felt a twinge of guilt that he hadn't heard of Magnus before, especially considering Magnus had at least a thousand more followers than he himself did. A hand rose to run through shaggy black hair in desperate need of a haircut, something he should of had done instead of spending hours watching Magnus's videos. Then again, he was sure Magnus probably followed a bunch of YouTube musicians, especially with a collab folder as large as he'd found under the video collections and the amount of 'Musician spotlight' shoutout videos that were also there. "It's nice to meet you, and ..." Alec looked to Camille, every bit of his willpower used to not make a face of displeasure. First impressions were important and the first of her was certainly something. "This is Camille, my ex-girlfriend. She was just leaving." The bag held towards Camille punctuated Magnus's words as he nodded towards the door. It didn't need to be said twice, Simon moved quickly out of the way and into the drivers seat area as Alec backed out of the bus to make room for her. It seemed like both men were eager to be rid of her, which Alec could only find himself mimicking to ease the moment. Camille looked between Magnus and Simon before she ripped the bag out of Magnus's hands, her eyes narrowing at him. "You'll regret this some day, Magnus. You don't know what you're losing." She spat out, her heels clicking harshly down the aisle of the bus and the stairs to follow. "You okay...?" Simon asked as he looked over to Magnus, moving further into the bus to pat his shoulder comfortingly. Alec was behind him though giving the two a bit of space, not wanting to intrude on the two friends that seemed to be having a moment. "I'm fine, thank you for stepping in. I didn't want to snap, I just..." Magnus sighed before glancing over Simon's shoulder and straightening his slumped back. "Mr. Lightwood, I'm glad you could join the tour. When Simon's manager mentioned wanting to reach out to you, I backed Simon and told her I highly recommended it. They were worried it was too last minute, but who gets a chance like this, right?" Alec found himself smiling at Magnus's smile, no matter how defeated it looked on the other man. "Yes, thank you, and thank you, Simon, for talking to her about me. Really, this is... I couldn't have even imagined I'd be here right now, much less going on a tour across the country performing for people, with other people." "Surreal, isn't it? This one is bigger than my last one, that was kind of just a small venue type thing where it was little crowds, but once we saw forums saying people were sad we were sold out, and when my manager saw people outside lined up around the block trying to get in still, they knew we had to go a little bigger this time. Really it was the last albums success, plus all the promotions and videos we threw up on YouTube that made it work for us. That last bit was at some persuasion of Magnus during one of the collabs we did of a Queen cover. Also we--" "Simon, you're rambling." Magnus chimed in, his fingers massaging his temple. Alec noticed the paint was slightly chipped, but he was sure there was more pressing things that Magnus had to worry about than that. "Oh! Oh, I am, yeah, sorry." Simon laughed and looked at the men he was basically sandwiched between. "Sooooo Alec, you should come see the venue and you can talk to my manager. Do you have a manager? They could talk about pay and stuff like that?" Simon's attention turned solely to Alec, who seemed nervous suddenly. "I... no. I mean, my mom handles a lot of my stuff like little shows around town and my sister handles my merch store but... I'm my own manager." "Nothing wrong with that, I'm my own currently as well. It's not so hard, I can show you the ropes." Magnus offered as he moved to the nearby fridge, pulling out a bottle of water and offering it out towards the two. Simon took it, Alec taking the next offered, and Magnus opened the third to take a long sip. "What order will we be doing this?" "I think you should go first to get the crowd riled up, then Alec, then me." Simon answered, his fingers fiddling with the cap of the water bottle. "Actually, I was thinking, if it's okay, if I go first and Magnus goes before you?" Alec said nervously, clearing his throat. He then looked to Magnus as he lifted a hand in defense, which had the other smirking. "Not that I want to displace you other anything, I just... you know, my stuff is kind of slower and I stand there and play my guitar. Magnus... is everywhere. I saw someone call him the next Freddie Mercury and I mean, I've been watching videos and--" "You've been watching me, Alexander?" Magnus mused, watching the faint trace of pink tint Alec's cheeks at both the comment and the name. "N-NO, I mean, yes, but-- look, what I mean is I think Magnus can get them more riled up and ready for you better than I can. He's got the energy like you, he's got an entire band to perform with, it's just me and--" "Are you torturing the new talent?" A woman's voice floated from the staircase, all three turning to look at the redhead watching them with amusement. "Ah! That's my manager. Alec, this is Jocelyn. Jocelyn, Alec. Her daughter, Clary, does the art for our flyers and shirts." Simon introduced, slipping past Alec to go over and greet the woman. "Should we show him the venue? Go over setlists?" "I think that would be the wisest decision, we don't have much time." Jocelyn nodded, smiling to Alec and Magnus before turning and moving back off the bus. "Alec, do you have a manager?" She asked as Alec came off the bus as well, followed by Magnus. "No, not yet. Just me. Magnus said he could help, though?" Jocelyn glanced past Alec to Magnus as he spoke, nodding in agreement. "I can help you out as well, we'll make you a natural. I've been teaching Simon along the way with the promise that he doesn't replace me." She winked to them and turned to lead them to the venue, the guard at the door opening it for them once he saw the badge around her neck. -- "This is..." Alec stood on the stage, looking over the rows of seating both on the floor and on the balcony above them. "Intimidating?" Simon asked. "Beautiful?" Magnus said at the same time, the two looking at each other with grins before they looked over at Alec. "Yeah," Alec answered with a breathless laugh, since both statements were pretty spot on. He'd played in coffee shops and small bookstores, but this was 10x's bigger than anything he'd been in before. It was surreal, almost so much so that he couldn't believe it was real. He was grateful for the opportunity and even more so of the moment that the two were giving him to soak it all in. Alec was sure they'd both had their own their first time, which Magnus had stated on their way in was the show they did in Boston. It apparently took him almost an hour to recover from it, and he only fully accepted it when they stepped into the Hartford venue. "You ready, big guy?" Jocelyn asked as she touched Alec's shoulder lightly, bringing him out of that moment and making him realize that Simon and Magnus had left his side and were now messing around with some of the equipment waiting for the show the next night. "Y-Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to get lost there." Alec could feel his face heating up, but Jocelyn looked plenty understanding and smiled at him, exuding the air of motherlike patience. "Hey, everyone goes there. Simon looked like a kid in a candy store his first big stage. Took me fifteen minutes to get him to stop running around with his arms up like some musical Rocky." She laughed and led him back to the others, putting a folder down on the table. "Alright guys, I think Alec was right in saying he should go first. No offense, Alec." "None taken." "Magnus you not only have energy, you're just infectious and now that ... she's gone, I think you're just free, kid. That Magnus you bottled up to keep an eye on her, let him go. Be the you we all saw on your channel, the one that we fell in love with when you came to the studio to do Killer Queen with them." Magnus's arms were crossed, his face neutral, but her pep talk seemed to bring a little bit of that light back and he couldn't stop the crook of his lips from forming a little smile. "You want me to..." "Break free." Jocelyn said with a playful wink, the two having found a bond over a shared love of Queen. "Are you guys flirting? This looks like flirting. I'm totally cool with it but like--" Simon's voice carried all the humor that Alec had expected from everything he'd seen on the RSP channel- he'd always seemed like the goofiest of the group. A shove from Magnus had Simon laughing and lifting his hands in a mock surrender. Jocelyn rolled her eyes though her smile was bright and she opened the folder, pulling out different papers and handing them to the men they belonged to respectively. "Alec, Clary and I went through your channel and we picked the videos with the most views, both covers and your originals, the same way we did with Magnus. What your homework is tonight is to go through this list and let me know if there's anything you want to add or remove. Remember that you have a 45 minute slot- so make sure the songs fit. It's okay if you go five minutes over, but we generally try to keep that to any crowd attention and loving you want to do after you perform. Magnus, you do the same, though I'm sure you want to keep your set, and Simon- anything you want to switch up?" Alec was completely baffled at the situation, he had always just assumed that artists picked out their own list of their most current music and then just random songs from different albums, but it made sense that they would go with the most popular since after all, that was what sold tickets. Simon was busy scribbling out one song and replacing it with another and Magnus---- Magnus was watching him. Alec froze, unable to tear his eyes away from the stare they'd become locked into, and it wasn't until Magnus gave a smile, a genuine one this time, that Alec was able to look away, instead focusing on the paperwork on the table. "This list is pretty good, I think I might replace two, but not too much more than that." Alec stuttered as he felt himself grow hot once more. What in the hell was going on with him? "Great, make sure you have it to me by 10 A.M tomorrow. The sound guys will need to go over everything with you and get pre-testing done, so we'll want to take care of that after to make soundcheck move smoothly tonight. Also, you're free to stay in your own place while we're in the city as long as you promise you'll be back on time, assuming you live in the city?" Jocelyn was excited herself to be near her own bed and it was very evident in her tone of voice. Looking around the table, Simon and especially Magnus looked just as relieved to be back home, even though they'd only been gone for less than a week. Alec could only imagine what it would be like in a couple weeks when they'd only be a month into the six month tour. "Yeah, I live about twenty minutes from here so I think that's great. My dogs will appreciate it." "Dogs? You have dogs? You should bring them!" Simon chirped, perking up at the mental image of having dogs with them all as stress relief. "Simon, no. There isn't enough room on the bus and we just started the tour. It's going to get crazy. Let's revisit that in a month, okay?" Jocelyn's words were only relenting at the end when Simon's smile dropped and she even noticed Magnus looked bummed. Alec smiled at the trio in front of him, feeling like they all were Jocelyn's new adopted kids. Admittedly it would be a little nice having a mom on the road, especially since this would be the first time Alec would be far from his own. There was no doubt he was a mama's boy, and there was nothing he would do to deny it if ever called out on it. As Jocelyn and Simon spoke about the setlist change once more, Alec's eyes caught Magnus's at the same time as Magnus had started looking at Alec, the two staring at each other subtly for a moment before Magnus was spoken to by Simon. This would definitely be an interesting start to a new beginning for Alec.

✅Use their creativity to make money. As mentioned in this review earlier, you do not need any graphic design knowledge to make a crazy and creative slogan. Besides, anybody can be creative.
Why Should Users Register on the Site
Most online entrepreneurs do not trust such companies because some of them steal your money. Therefore, new users will become reluctant because they think that they will be conned just like on some other malicious site.
On the other hand, this is not the case with the company.
As we did our research, we found no negative reviews about the site. Different reports stated that the site is legit. Here are some of the reasons why we think that this is a legit company:
1. User friendliness
The website is easy to navigate. Once you get into the site’s interface, you do not have a problem going through the site. Also, navigating through it is very easy.
2. Testimonials
When you scan through the website, different users compliment the system. In their reviews, they state that they were able to go through the training successfully, and started to earn money by creating slogans.
3. Money Back Guarantee
Users have to pay a fee to access all the site’s services. The amount tends to change depending on the discount that the company is offering at different times. If you feel that the site is not a place where you belong, or earn money, the system has a 60-day money-back guarantee where you can get back your cash.
Many people want to join the program. The most efficient way of short-listing them is by putting a fee on it. The charge will only invite intentional people into the venture.
4. Numbers do not lie
Tumblr media
On the site’s landing page, the site’s owner posts different slogans, how much they made, and include screenshots of Ben’s PayPal account. I think this is enough evidence for any person who is uncertain about the authenticity of the site.
5. Safe and secure site
One thing that most people ignore to check is the site’s safety. Legit owners will invest in a stable system. A non-secure website will bring different malware to your computer, which can damage your machine or even privacy.
In this site, the team states that they use McAfee antivirus to enhance integrity.
What Happens After Successful Registration
After successful registration, the user will access all the site’s resources.
The system provides an eBook that gives a step-to-step detail on how to make money. It reveals three methods that you can use to start your writing business.
Method 1
The first method introduces you to the system and shows you different ways you can use to market your idea.

According to different reviews, this method is the best and the easiest to implement.  Reviewers state that they were able to get quick results.
Method 2
The slogan seller system has different contests that a seller can join. Companies would spend massive amounts, even millions of dollars, to get a catchy phrase for their products. In these contests, the seller has to develop the slogan, and the system will reveal a list of contests to join. The method also gives you strategies to use to bring you more money in these contests.
Method 3
This strategy involves a lot of marketing. This is where the book shows you a list of companies that may be interested in buying your ideas. Once you get a potential buyer, make a phrase and submit it to them.
The seller should understand that the buyer has different guidelines and rules that they check when you submit the slogan. The buyer should adhere to these regulations; otherwise, the company may ignore their advances.

Conclusion
According to this review (and many other reviews), the Slogan Seller platform is a safe, secure and reliable system. With it, you are assured that you will make more money at the comfort of your home. However, you should not assume that this as a get-rich-quick money scheme.
If it was, it must be a pyramid scheme. Therefore, buyers need to put in a lot of effort to ensure that they earn thousands of dollars that they have been dreaming of making.
The team encourages people to create as many slogans as possible. This is because not all slogans have the potential of bringing you much money.
If you earn a few dollars within the first month, do not give up. Put more hard work into it. This stuff really works… But you do have to invest some time in learning the system and creating the slogans. I honestly was not expecting much when I started this program, but I have been really surprised with the extent to which it has increased my monthly income. Definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme, so don’t expect to make instant profits with no work at all, but if you stick with it, it will really pay off.
You can get the terms and conditions on the official website . In the official website you will have more information about the product Slogan Seller and even more interesting you will have the opportunity to read user comments, product specifications and usage.
I hope and believe that this review has and will be of great importance and value for you who is looking into the idea of working online. Online businesses are amazing, nothing beats working at the comfort of your home, right?
Summary:
Slogan Seller is an online company where creative users earn by creating prolific slogans using short phrases, words, and emoji. I am happy to recommend Slogan Seller really to anyone out there who is considering to start working online, it works, but only when you take some time to learn the system well and get familiarized with creating slogans.
