Stuck!

4. In A Shop

((Kind of uh. Typed a bunch. Needed to in order to properly get the idea out without it being all rushed sounding. Ya first read-more link courtesy of getting my hands on the buffest fish around))

Sollux’s obstinate nature was known to nearly put Karkat to shame, leaving most friends hoping for a regularly scheduled mood swing to change the yellowblood’s mind for them. There was however a workaround that kept Karkat’s blanket petulance a step above the psionic. Sollux was utterly incapable of denying a request from a Peixes, particularly Feferi. Something about the bubbly fishgirl with a big personality crippled his stubbornness.

So it was that the 4ft nothing nerd trotted next to the thudding footfalls produced by the towering legs of the toughest tyrian around. ‘Rippling’ probably didn’t do justice to the sheer amount of muscle packed onto each inch of this Peixes, but it was a pun he’d have to tell her later. The concept of a ‘mall’ was rare among the solitary troll race, that many of the species packed in one place without the structure of an army would almost always lead to a small scale war. But humans had no such problems outside of certain Fridays in November. The idea of being able to browse so many different wares in person, AND show off her room dominating physique to a crowd just by walking about, AND drag along a favorite nerd to tease drew in Fef.

At first Sollux found kinship with other humans, mostly the men it seemed, collectively stranded at a small collection of undersized chairs at this ‘clothing store’ (he could have sworn humans had wardrobifiers of a sort too), but eventually found himself and everyone else staring up, up, and up at the pouting face of the heiress up above.

“Sollux! You can’t just sit t)(ere! You s)(oald buy somet)(ing too! Or at least try somet)(ing on!“

“iit all look2 the fuckiin2 same two me FF, ii’d ju2t be bliind piickiing 2omethiing.”

“Fin! T)(en I’LL pick somet)(ing out for you! -Easy!“

Sollux found himself half picked up and half flung further into the store by a hand that could probably get all the way around his torso if it tried. “Betides, if you try on a t)(ing or two t)(en you can kelp me decide w)(at to get.““FF ii’m 2ure iif anythiing iin thii2 place fiit2 you iit wiill look fiine.”

“I meant you can watc)( me try on t)(e outfits guppy.“

It took Sollux a second to put together the utter lack of a chance anything in here would fit the towering girl properly and the offer to model them. After that he accepted the bundle of colors suggested by Fef’s questionable style with a straight face and hurried off to the changing booths. The tight cubicle with a bench to one side and a mirror on the wall gave him a bit more space than most. Inspecting the damage he was about to inflict onto fashion, and probably Kanaya’s soul somewhere he saw she had mixed traditional alternian black pants with the result of a rainbow taking one too many shots of hard liquor over a white canvas, what humans seemed to refer to as ‘Tye-dye’. After changing into the affront to nature he stood looking in the mirror, deciding within moments this just wasn’t going to do. He’d sit back down, change, and ‘politely’ suggest he would take her advice on an outfit without letting her pick it outright.

Out in the store, Feferi giggled to herself. The little guppy would look adorable in that outfit, especially with the look of boiling indignation he’d probably wear with it. Maybe she could get some string somewhere here and wear him like a cute necklace. Any guilt at knowing Sol didn’t care at all about fashion could be assuaged when she gave him a little show. Even the biggest clothing sizes here clung to her tighter than her normal muscle hugging outfit, and the shrimp’s admiration of her form was readily apparent. As it should be! More people should be unafraid or helpless to show their awe of her. With another laugh, she looked around to make sure he hadn’t come out yet and backed into one of the tiny stalls. They barely contained her, in fact straining against her shoulders, but she was flexible enough to sit down, conserving space and still change.

Sollux did not have time to even yelp as Fef came into the stall ass-first, having not noticed that the lock was in at all when her turning of the handle ripped right through it. Those steel bending mountains took his breath away first with majesty, then with impact force as they came down upon him onto the seat. Feferi didn’t even register his presence as resistance to her movements, fully expecting the seat to be uncomfortable if it didn’t crumple entirely. By some miracle it did not, but left the shorter troll squashed under (and by a quick miracle between) legs over half again as wide as he was. If he’d taken the full impact of her caboose he’d likely suffer the same fate as an actual caboose being hit by Fef would, annihilation.

While being crushed under glute or leg was high up on the list of fates Sollux rooted for in his Doomed life, he figured he should avoid it as Fef tried to move and change without wrecking the changing room. It would ruin the shopping trip after all, and stain the un-bought clothes. His body, seeming to agree, offered a solution. Contracting sensations unrelated to the tons of giddy seadweller atop him pulled at something deep within, and the modest mountains pinning him in became akin to twin Olympus Mons of dense gluteal muscle as Sollux dwindled to his minimum 2 inch height. At least it let him get up, appreciating the view briefly, and simply walk out from under her, heading out between her legs intended to fly up and get her attention. Sollux just hopped into the air off the edge of the bench when a rush of air disoriented him, Feferi had gotten up! Triumphantly she’d managed to get her outfit off, dropping it to the floor and inadvertently swatting the yellowblood to the ground in a net of salt scented fabric.

“Now… w)(here is he.” Fef thought as she carefully squeezed back out of the stall, clad now in a frilly top and skirt that had become a mightily straining tank top and miniskirt as they tried to hold on. But even after walking past the stares of shoppers around the whole store there was no sign of Sollux! He couldn’t seriously still be hiding in a stall could he? Maybe someone else was going to steal her goldblood fashion accessory idea and stole him! No, no that’s stupid. Probably pouting. Well maybe he wouldn’t get a show, hmph! Marching right back to the stall, she noticed something as she hunched down to make it under the door, her pile of discarded clothes shaking about of its own accord. Sollux wasn’t bold enough to try peeping was he? No, no she had experience with this sort of diminishing ailment. More than likely a series of comedic accidents had occurred and put him here… but that didn’t mean she couldn’t have a little fun with it.

After being trapped, tangled up in the absurdly engineered strength of the heiress’ normal outfit with nothing but the smell of salt, sweat, and leftover dampness for company, Sollux finally found his prison moving. Expecting to be dumped out any second now, it was a surprise when he was lifted high into the air, briefly glimpsing Fef’s face (she was usually smiling, but why the slight tyrian tint to her now?) through the bottom of what had to be her shirt. The seadweller deftly fit one powerful arm through each strap and pulled the outfit on, fitting it snugly into place. Also fitted into place, though snug was a worse description than ‘pinned utterly’, was Sollux Captor. Fef’s sizable chest provided cushion at least for the force exerted by her even more bountiful pectorals. Now, where was that crafts shop with the string… Or better yet, chain! 38D

Franz Ferdinand 8-8-18

one of the best concerts i’ve ever been to and basically one of the greatest nights of my life.

sorry this is so long i just love them so much!!!!

I got to the venue around 5:30 when doors weren’t even going to open until 7. Even as I sat outside with only six people ahead of me in line, I was SO anxious about getting front row and I was really afraid that I wouldn't make it. I know this sounds weird, but when they let us into the theater and I bolted for the barrier and actually got it, I felt like I could finally relax for the first time in months.

I loved chatting with the people around me on the barrier! I don’t know any Franz fans in real life so it was nice to be able to talk to people about them.

I really enjoyed POW! They were fun. The keyboard player was cute as hell and her outfit was adorable. I was dying laughing at all the people in the audience who kept randomly yelling POW!!! between songs.

It was surreal when the lights finally went down and they came out. Bob and Paul first, then Julian and Dino...and then Alex, casually strolling onstage with his guitar in one hand and a mug of tea in the other. This video says it all. ♥

I was so happy they opened with Always Ascending! It's one of my absolute favorites of theirs and I feel like it's a great opener with the way it builds up. My memory of this song is a fucking blur because I was mostly just standing there attempting to process the fact that holy shit, this is happening, they're real!!!!! They're fucking real!!!!

They played Come On Home next (which I wasn’t expecting at all!!!) and they dedicated it to a woman in the front row, Reese, for her birthday. :’) Such a lovely song and the fact that they played it for her is amazing.

Alex had to stop during the second verse of Walk Away because he was having some sort of sound issues...they finished the song, but afterwards he had to walk over to the sound guy to get something fixed and he told the other guys to jam and told Bob to start lmao. So they all started awkwardly jamming and laughing and it was cute af.

When Alex came back they played The Dark of the Matinee which was AMAZINGGGG. The intro with Julian and Dino and Alex all on guitar??? So fucking cool. This was the song that sort of lowkey got me interested in them last summer (shoutout to @flakybandit ♥) which made it even better.

Come and dance with me...come and dance with me...now cOME ALL OVER ME MICHAEL

Lazy Boy is so much fucking fun!!! Alex played that shaker thing during the intro (idk what it's called) and then just fucking...flung it onto the floor behind Bob and it landed with a soft chhhk and I was dying. It was also cool to watch him counting out the 10/4 time signature in the middle of the song!

Alex held my hand during the second verse of Glimpse of Love!!!!!!!! aaaa

It took me a second to recognize Lucid Dreams when they started playing, because I'm more familiar with the version on Tonight, but when I figured it out I fuckin lost my shit. I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.

I was still reeling from hearing Lucid Dreams and then they fucking started playing EVIL EYE. SAJDJSDJ OH MY GODDDD. This song makes me so fucking happy. Screaming “IT'S RED YA BASTARD!!!” is definitely a life highlight.

I know I said that DotM is the song that got me interested in them last summer, but Do You Want To is the song that finally got me hooked on them this spring. I lost my mind a little bit haha. So much fun. They really drew out the “lucky lucky” part, which I loved. Alex was so into it dsjfjsf. Like yeah, Alex, you know what? I am so lucky. ❤️

Ulysses though ;o; I’ve loved that song from the moment I first heard it. I was a junior in college when it came out and I distinctly remember listening to it while walking around campus, rewinding the “you’re never going home” part over and over because I just loved it so much...yeah. Finally getting to hear it live was incredible.

The first song of the encore was Finally!!! This song means a lot to me for various reasons and I'm so happy I got to see it live. The whole band stopped playing during the little breakdown part in the middle of the song and Alex encouraged the audience to sing along. It was quiet because most people didn't know the song haha but he tried. (God, how it feels good to be with people like me.)

Feel The Love Go. Oh my god. I know I say this about a lot of Franz songs but I honestly think this is my favorite song of theirs. Back in May, when I was first getting into FF, I had a really horrible day at work. I felt like such a failure and I honestly wanted to give up and quit teaching forever. I remember listening to this song that night and the next day, and that was the first time I really paid attention to the lyrics. “For the things that you do are not who you are.” “Think of a friend and wish them love. Think of an enemy and wish them more.” It sounds ridiculous, but it spoke to me at a time when I really needed to hear it – and it kind of put some things in perspective for me. I love it so much. It gives me such a good feeling every time I listen to it. And it's so good live!!! Alex's dancing is impeccable, and I absolutely love when he gives his fucking sermons on feeling the energy and the love in the room tonIGHT!!! Fucking magical. ♥

One of my favorite things about concerts is how the energy in the room changes when a band starts playing their most popular song. The Killers with Mr. Brightside, Duran Duran with Hungry Like The Wolf, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones with The Impression That I Get...everyone just seems to come alive. That's how it felt to hear them play Take Me Out. I love it sosososo much. It takes me back to being 15, in a good way haha. Alex and Julian and Dino jumping at the beginning is cute as hell. I love those bouncy boys.

I'm pretty sure Julian noticed me at one point during Take Me Out, since he was in Dino's spot... I smiled at him and did a heart with my hands and he smiled :D

This Fire was insaneee. if you haven't seen FF play it live go check it out here (not my show but it sounded pretty much exactly the same). I loved the extended guitar jam in the middle! When Lexi and I were outside later talking to Alex, she told him how much she loved this version of the song, and Alex said he thought it was great, too! He said it's not always so drawn out, it all depends on whether he and Dino hit the right groove or not, and tonight they did. :D

Getting down on the floor and watching them through the barrier and then jumping up and dancing my ass off is another experience that I'll never forget. Part of me regrets not taking any videos of this, because it was fucking amazing, but I knew I had to just experience it. (Oh, how I burn for you. <3) Some more random observations from during/after the show:

Alex came back out for the encore with a second mug of tea

When he introduced Dino he referred to him as “the man that is loved by every cat in the world” :')

Julian has the longest legs known to man

Also Julian kept randomly giggling throughout the show jdsfjds so cute

Paul and Bob were so far away :( but it was cute to see them looking so focused and intense!

Alex has a nice butt. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

When Dino and I took our picture he leaned his head into mine (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

When I went to take my selfie with Paul we did that awkward thing where we both put our arms up so he was like “Here, I'll go up” sdjfsfj :’)

I wanted to talk more to Bob but I didn't know what to say! At least I got to tell him that the show was amazing and he thanked me :) What a cutie.

This is going to sound weird I think but like...Alex looked really nice in the dim glow of the streetlights in the alley? It really brought out his eyes or something haha. He's just so stunningly beautiful, and it's even more pronounced in person. <3

I almost didn't tell Alex how much their music has helped me this year. Lexi and I had taken our pictures and she was talking to him and he looked like he was about to head over to someone else and I knew it was kind of a now or never thing so I just...fucking did it. He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder and told me how much he likes hearing things like that and he hopes that next year will be better for me. :)

I was SO nervous to talk to them, especially Alex, but they all instantly made me feel at ease. They're just as lovely as everyone said they would be. If any of you ever have the opportunity to meet them after a gig, do it. They’re so kind and genuine and you can tell they enjoy getting to talk to their fans.

It’s been a week since I saw them now and I’m not gonna lie, I’m sad and I miss them so much. Weirdly, though, I’m comforted by the fact that even though I don’t know where or when, I’m going to get to see them again (and maybe even meet them again!) and that’s enough to keep me going. ♥

#franz ferdinand #if you read this entire thing i love you and i'm sorry lmao #i love one (1) band #ff8818
