hiii! i just found your account and i’m so in love with everything you’ve written!!! can i request a johnny demigod au?
Tumblr media
piece by piece — SYH
johnny would rather die than admit he’s not able to fix something. no matter what it is, he’s absolutely certain he can find a way to make it right. correct the clock’s tick. make the light bulb shine again. puzzle the pieces of your heart together. who else would, if not him?
son of hephaestus!johnny x daughter of dionysus!reader
of course you can! thank you for request love, i hope you enjoy! <3
Some people are born with a silver-spoon in their mouth. Johnny entered the world with mechanical tools and screwdrivers in his little hands. At least that’s what he keeps on telling others when they watch him build something.
He’s always had a knack for stuff like that. During experiments, it was always Johnny who got the thing up and working. He loves to create. There’s no better feeling than getting something to work again, like a broken clock, or a flickering light.
There’s only one exception. Johnny’s never tried to fix a heart before, but he’s willing to try.
A loud yelp escapes you as Johnny takes away the wine bottle you were clinging to. Is this your second or third one? Honestly, he doesn’t remember. He hasn’t been paying attention. The only thing that matters right now is getting you away from all the alcohol, and into a bed to sleep your rush off. Your eyes are stained red, rivalling those of a stoner. Your fix is free; it’s called ‘tears’. Truth be told, you’re an emotional mess, and everything spills over the second alcohol enters your bloodstream and chases away the deep-rooted pain inside your chest.
“You give that back right now, Seo.”
“Not a chance in hell,” he deadpans. The frat house is way too loud, overcrowded with people he’s never seen before, but you’re gonna have to deal with that if you’re going to sleep over tonight. Strong arms slide beneath your back and into the hollows of your knees, lifting you up as if you‘re the pound of feathers and not the pound of iron you feel like. It’s a familiar feeling, because Johnny always carries you to bed. It’s a tradition that’s slipped into your drunk habits aswell, since you tend to pass out in your intoxicated bliss instead of helping yourself to an appropiate sleeping place.
Johnny sets you down on a soft mattress, one you recognize too easily. His blankets are freshly washed, and you ignore the laughter falling from Johnny’s lips as you snuggle into them. You look like a toddler. “Aren’t you going to change, (y/n)?” he mumbles, fingertips brushing over your cheekbones. You’re like a sculpture - flawless marble, the perfect depiction of a Greek beauty. Venus de Milo is literally sprawled over his bed. Not many guys can say that. “That croptop must be kinda tight. Here, let me help you.”
“You think you’re funny?” you drawl out. Alcohol makes your tongue heavy, speaking is an effort. He’d never admit it out loud, but you’re rather adorable whenever you’ve had a sip too much. Johnny tucks you in, the soft, plushy blankets covering your entire body. Your eyes are already screwed shut. You’ve got a sharp tongue, but everybody knows how much you trust Johnny. More than anyone else in your life. He’s the one who looks past the drunk facade and sees the sorrow beneath it, the very same your father must have felt when Ariadne left him for eternity. Like an illness, your heart is rotting from an invisible wound, inflicted by someone who didn’t know how to treat you right.
Johnny would. He knows you deserve to be treated like a princess, not some prize. That’s why he broke that guy’s jaw with pure pleasure. The busted knuckles after that were beyond worth it, and the kiss you had left on them was just the cherry on top.
There’s nothing Johnny wouldn’t do for you. His head is filled with thoughts about you and you only, his entire existence revolves around protecting his tiny best friend. You’re his world, and Johnny’s the moon circling it. You just don’t know it yet. Maybe you don’t want him, reject him like Aphrodite did to his father. It doesn’t sound so bad when it means he can still baby you like this, fingers carding through your hair, listening to the appreciative hums you let out at that. When he lowers his head to sneak a kiss on your cheek, cheeky and daring, you don’t fulfill your threats to snap his neck. Drowsily, since you’re already slipping into slumber, you catch Johnny around the neck and pull him down to leave your own peck on his temple.
Whoever in Olymp is responsible for your behavior, whatever Fate had meddled with your creation - he’d sincerely like to thank them from the bottom of his heart for making you a clingy drunk.
Since the first day of college, Johnny has been taking care of you. He had helped you renovate your dorms since you are literally helpless when it comes to building cupboards and setting up some baseboards. Whenever you miss a lecture, you copy off his carefully written notes. And you can bet your sweet ass you’re the first one to take a sip of Johnny’s freshly brewed coffee. It’s not like he has it in himself to stop you - he’s the one who offers you the mug and scolds you for not taking care of yourself. He’s the one who wants to ease off some stress from your shoulders by helping you with your living quarters. He wants to make sure you get the correct notes so you don’t fail during an exam.
It’s only right he’s the one to solve the jigsaw puzzle that represents your heart.
❀ ❀ ❀
“Raise your hand if you think (y/n)’s an alcoholic.”
“Nakamoto, if you don’t shut up, I’ll seriously consider stuffing your mouth with a croissant.” Over the breakfast table, you throw an not-so-evil glare Yuta’s way, but the man only laughs and starts eating his cereal. You don’t really look threatening in your blanket cocoon; you had refused to part from them when Johnny had woken you up and dragged you out of his room. “Seo, put that hand down right now.”
“Lying is a sin, (y/n).” He catches the hand that tried to hit his chest, and you yelp loudly when he tugs you out of your safe space inside the blankets so you can sit on his lap. His frat brothers are staring, all of them aware about the feelings blossoming in Johnny’s chest for the alcoholic he managed to befriend. He doesn’t care, though. He’s too busy adoring the embarrassed blush on your cheeks, so distracted by the sight that he forgets you’re in attack mode. The flick to his forehead actually hurts. “Don’t make me throw you across the table, (y/n). You know I can do it.”
“I’m not an alcoholic,” you shoot back. Stubborn as always.
Johnny’s arm around your waist doesn’t seem to bother you. You actually continue your breakfast while he rests his head on your shoulder, lost in your natural fragrance. Of course you smell like grapes. The stench of alcohol. But he also picks up roses, the underlying notes of the perfume you had put on last night. According to you, he smells like burnt wood and oil. That doesn’t sound as pleasant as you do, but he’ll take what he can.
The gears are already set in motion. Without you knowing, Johnny plans to cure your broken heart. So when you set down the knife you used to cut open your croissant, Johnny asks you: “(y/n), wanna go on a date?”
You freeze on his lap. Your heartbeat thunders below his touch, like a clock ticking away. Hearts are nothing but clockwork, racing towards your death. The last hour of your life. Until your battery finally runs out. Johnny has a lot of mechanic jokes. “Excuse me? Are you still drunk?”
“You of all people are not allowed to ask me if I’m drunk.”
“Fair,” you mumble, almost offended. But the shock still lingers in your veins, painted on his friend’s face aswell. You turn in his hold to look Johnny in the eyes, the disbelief in yours driving a knife through his heart. “Is this a joke, Seo Youngho? I don’t particularly like to joke about this and you know that better than anyone else.”
“That’s exactly why I’m asking.” Johnny’s fingers tug at your shirt, desperate to feel what’s below. Is your skin as soft as it looks like? If he touches you here and there, what can he coax out of you? His thoughts run wild about you always; sometimes innocently, sometimes anything but. “I’m sick of watching you drink your problems away, (y/n). We all know you’ve gotten over him, you’re just afraid of facing the consequences of what he’s done to you. Let me help you. I can fix this.”
Your eyes are hypnotizing. Maybe this is what it looks like when maenads possess their victims, luring them in with the promise of a good time and better alcohol. You don’t offer him intoxication - you offer Johnny the entire galaxy, every solar system locked into your gaze, a kaleidoscope of human memories, desire, love. One look would make any man lightheaded.
Children of Hephaestus are fireproof. They’re supposed to be blacksmiths, working at any temperature. Only you manage to leave scorch markings where your fingertips meet his face, uncomfortably hot, and still irresistible. Second degree burns don’t sound so bad when you’re the one inflicting them.
“You can’t fix everything, Johnny,” you tell him. The sadness clinging to your voice is centuries old, older than time itself, the common tale of a heart broken that’s never going to be whole again. “No matter how hard you try.”
Johnny clings to you like a drowning man would to his life ring. “You wouldn’t know. You never let me try.”
❀ ❀ ❀
Johnny doesn’t know where you start and he ends. Your relationship is blurred lines, interwoven red strings. There are pieces you’ve been given by him to make you complete, and parts you’ve given away to fulfill him. You give and give and give, never once thinking if it’s going to break you.
That’s why it’s so easy to love Johnny. A very long time ago, you’d already promised him your heart, long before it had been darkened by strangers who never learnt how to treat it. It’s his, in every sense of the word. Over the years, it has been fed with happy things. Johnny’s smile. The pride you feel whenever he wins an award for his experiments and ideas. The giddy feeling he sets off inside you when he lifts you off the ground to twirl you around like a princess. The many nights you used to stay up to listen to him and count the stars, naming them after you while you fell asleep to the sound of Johnny’s pulse. How could your heart belong to someone else, when it’s never known anyone besides him?
As long as there’s a beat inside your heart, there will be love, too. In the many thousand shards that pierce through your lungs and are barely hidden beneath your skin, affection will always pool beneath the blood they draw. You were so suspicious of Johnny’s attempts, yet it comes so easy.
He takes you out to see the city, even though you know every corner of it. Johnny forces you to see it with new eyes, to chase away the bad experiences you connect them with. The park where you had been broken up with turns into the place where Johnny teaches you to skate, arms tight around your waist, the promise of no harm ever coming to you if he can prevent it luring you to try. The many restaurants you had started to avoid because of the couples dining there had turned into date nights where Johnny orders for you and you in turn for him, laughing at the grimace the other pulls when it doesn’t taste as expected. He takes your memories and flips them, good side up.
Your lungs had been poisoned with toxins for a very long time. Johnny was the clean air that helped you breathe. What had once been pain turned into newfound happiness, the flutter of butterflies inside your stomach. The exploding fireworks Johnny sets off when his lips meet your skin.
Where alcohol had once mended was now pure fire. Johnny’s fire, burning you from the inside out, setting you free like a phoenix out of his ashes.
You should’ve known better than to trust this good feeling. A year’s worth of pain is not erased so easily. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Doubt eats away at your heart, casting long shadows of the healing pieces.
❀ ❀ ❀
Johnny hates the theoretical part of his studies. His hands itch to work, to forge, to create. They can’t sit still, and that’s why it takes him hours to finish his assignments. If there’s not the impending doom of an exam lingering inside his mind, there’s no reason for him to sit unmoving on a chair for several hours to concentrate on the task at hand.
But time is running out, and he has to finish this now. He had already slept for the entire day, having eaten breakfast at 3pm since another frat party had kept him awake yesterday. Yeah, he should’ve laid off the alcohol, but you go ahead and try to tell Sicheng no when he begs you to come play beer pong.
That’s physically impossible. There’s not a single soul on this planet that’s able to resist Sicheng’s puppy dog eyes, and he knows. Monster.
That’s why Johnny sits here now. He has to force his short attention span to cling to the paper he’s supposed to be writing on, since he knows damn well he’d grasp at any chance to procrastinate. His thoughts wander to you, like always. His sweet (y/n). The raging alcoholic.
Or, how he likes to call you, his princess.
The petname colors your cheeks red and makes you lower your pretty eyes. His imagination is too vivid - Johnny groans loudly as you conquer his mind again, determined to stay there forever. Daydreams are always conjured by the wish of seeing you. Johnny is so unbelievably whipped.
He’s already decided. The next time he sees you, he’s going to ask you to be his girlfriend. To be his for as long as he exists, and in turn being yours forever. In a room full of people, Johnny’s eyes would still search for you. Who else would he love for the rest of his life if not you?
Maybe he’ll never get to.
The door to his room is thrown open rather loudly. Yuta tumbles in, yawn leaving his lips, before the man freezes in his movements and stares at Johnny. “What the hell are you doing here?”
“This is my room, you know.”
“I know this is your room, you giant idiot,” Yuta hisses. Johnny furrows his eyebrows; had he done something wrong...? What’s gotten the man so worked up? “I’m asking you why you’re here instead of the date you promised your almost-girlfriend who you’ve been in love with your entire life!”
Johnny’s heart drops. It falls and falls into that pit of dread inside his stomach, just like pencil and ruler as he throws it onto the table and grabs his jacket. He almost tumbles down the stairs and breaks his neck, but that’d be worth it if it meant reaching you faster. Taeil yells at him to be more careful, though his words only meet deaf ears. Johnny’s already long gone, bursting through the door as he starts running and prays it’s enough to reach you in time.
You’re not there.
He wonders how he can call himself a son of Hephaestus when he cannot even stop his own heart from shattering at the realization that he may have lost you forever. It would’ve been your anniversary with your ex boyfriend today, and Johnny realizes only now.
If only his father could see him like this. He’d cast him off Olympus, a perfect mimic of what Hera had done thousands of years ago. It’s what Johnny would have deserved.
❀ ❀ ❀
The many messages he leaves on your voicemail remain unanswered. He knocks at your dorm often, but you never open, not a rustle is heard inside. Like a graveyard, there’s only the sound of the wind breezing through your apartment, no sign of life. Your phone doesn’t ring when he calls you from outside the dorm, as if you’re not there. Not home.
Nowhere near him.
Back to square one, Johnny loves you from a distance. His tears soak the blankets you used to lull yourself in, and he spends hours locked inside his room listening to the playlist you created.
In a morbid sense of longing, he even bought that type of vodka you like so much. The one that tastes like peppermint and makes him want to retch, even though you’re able to swallow it up like water. He’s always known you were an alcoholic. For once, Johnny wishes you were here, getting drunk alongside him.
No matter how much the liquor numbs his senses, it doesn’t stop him from thinking about you. Like a broken record, Johnny always ends up wondering how you are. If you feel a little better, even though Johnny stood you up.
Every night, he asks the stars for you. They never respond.
❀ ❀ ❀
Johnny doesn’t know what he’s doing here. There’s no sense to knocking at your door - you’d die before opening it willingly. After all, you had opened your heart to him, and look where that had gotten you.
He almost passes out in relief when your face appears in the doorway, tear tracks staining your face. “Have you come to torture me more?” you whisper, too afraid of your voice breaking. If you can’t even stop your heart from doing it, you’d like to atleast beware your voice. “Go ahead. Let’s see what kills me first, my broken heart or alcohol.”
“(y/n),” he breathes out, and the pain in his voice makes you flinch. It matches the one sitting in your chest, an exact replica. Distance wounded you both. “(y/n), I am the stupidest man alive and I am so sorry I left you standing in the rain back then. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking.”
“I’d like to know that, too,” you mumble. Your voice is bitter, but your hands reach to hold his. Is he imagining things, or are you actually tugging him inside right now? Is it wishful thinking? Is that it?
Your apartment looks like a mess, as always. A perfect mirror to your mind. Johnny used to tease you about it. Now, it just makes him feel worse, because he did that to you. “I need to say it,” he suddenly says. “I need you to know.”
“To know what?”
“I love you.”
The three magic words. Instant remedy to any kind of wound, no matter how old, no matter how deadly. You confuse Johnny by laughing, fresh tears running over the old traces on your cheeks.
“I know.” You tug at his shirt and force him down; your scent floods Johnny’s senses when you press your face against the column of his neck. Now you’re home. Right where you’re supposed to be. “Who the else would be patient enough to fix me? I’m a big, fat mess. I should’ve waited for you that day...”
“You should have beat my fucking ass,” Johnny curses, and then he finally kisses you. Like fire, his kiss devours, rampant heat frying your senses and jumpstarting your tired heart. The kiss is way too messy, teeth knocking against each other in a frenzy. This is what you needed - the undying, pure love Johnny provides you with. It’s what you’ve been longing for since the first time you set eyes on him, the very first time his puzzle pieces clicked into place inside you.
Johnny’s never tried to fix a heart before, but he’s also the one who knows yours inside out. It’s only right that he’s the one who puts it together piece by piece.

seo changbin x reader— enemies to lovers, diss track au! fluff & angst
a/n: ok there were some points where i felt iffy but i LOVE this idea and omg i love this sm im 🥺
in your seventeen years of living, you never enjoyed the number of comparisons your parents made between you and the boy next door.
he was just a few years older than you were, always mocking you for still being underaged and leaving you to spit out bullshit such as “im 18!! if you count the time i spent in my mother’s womb!”
it’s like he purposely did it to rile you up, but of course you got him back everytime. changbin being the most “popular music major” at school made him very much secretive and since you two knew each other from a young age, you were his weakness. you held his secrets, his past. that’s what made you powerful in this relationship stirred up from hate and jealously.
that, and your ability to compose amazing music.
it was another day at the school’s music studio. the professor understood you and changbin had some sort of misunderstanding so it was a priority that you two never shared a room, but mistakes happen i suppose.
you sat on the black leather chair, rocking it back and forth as you found yourself lost in your thoughts. “what should i write this song about...” you thought to yourself, chewing a pen cap between your lips.
you replayed the music over and over again. it was beautifully composed and you were quite impressed with yourself, however it didn’t hit the voices nor the raps of any music majors so you decided to call it a draft.
your cursor lingered towards the “draft” button before the door could burst open, revealing a boy in his usual black tee, sweats and shoes.
“get out” you said with a stern voice, eyes focused on the screen as you could already tell who it was
“geez... okay okay. what are you working on dumbass?” he said, resting his hands on the headrest of your seat as you stared at the screen
“it’s none of your business changbin” you remarked, clicking the draft button before the track could auto-play
you quickly rushed to pause the song before changbin could grab your wrists, staring at the blank page who’s title matched the title of the track
“some shitty music this is” he smirked, slamming the pause button so hard it made you jump in your seat
“try listening to your own music” you said, shoving him to the side and hiding your lyric book
changbin grabbed the desk behind him to regain balance, hurrying over to you as he grabbed the book in your hand
“what’s this? hmm? your love songs about me?” he smirked
your pretend-gagged in your mouth, grabbing the book from his hand and slapping his arm with it.
“stop bothering me you prick!”
“stop bothering me you prick!! mehhh” he mocked, his voice in a high pitched tone as winced his eyes at you.
everyday went like this. was he destined to annoy you? destined to be the only fault in your life with no mercy. he just enjoyed the way you scrunched your nose, the way you punched his stomach, the way you kicked his shin. god, he loved making you angry and he loved seeing you struggle.
changbin dodged your book this time before you could wack him, and assuming he was done with his daily business you went back to your seat. forgetting everything that happened seconds ago before a sudden reminder could be heard tingling down your ear
“you know y/n, why can’t you just like me?” he asked, his finger teasingly caressing the side of your cheek
“every girl wants me, yet you... i just don’t get you” he continued, pointing at you to show how much “you stood out”
you rolled your eyes, not having any of it at the moment. but you had to admit it, your heart was beating out of your chest and something in you was telling you to go for it. he’s right there, just one inch away from his lips and you could-
“exactly, take a hint seo changbin. i can’t, and i won’t ever like you” you spat in his face, forcing him to seperate his hands from your heated cheeks.
“alright, alright chill” he said in a somewhat teasing voice, “but you know you want to be mine. ill make sure of it”
“me? with your cocky ass? bet”
“it’s not like i want to be with you either y/n” he said, leaning against the desk as you looked at you for any reaction. you were as still as a statue however, and this didn’t go unnoticed by changbin. in fact, he was a bit worried when he didn’t hear a response from you.
you simply blinked, your eyes drawn to the floor as his words transcript itself into your head. he never wanted to be with you, he never wanted to be with you.
“hey, y/n you good?” he said, nudging your shoulder a bit
you woke up from your sudden day dream before turning back to your computer and ignoring his presence as you always did. but changbin wasn’t finished, he pressed the play button to your recent track.
“stop it, i can’t figure out the lyrics to this yet” you said. changbin raised an eyebrow at your plain stated response before he could smirk
“ill help you out with that”
changbin waits for the beat to replay, his eyes looking directly into yours as he twirls your chair so you’re looking at nothing more than the “rap god of music school spearb”. your breath increases as you are forced to look at him in his place, where he paced back and forth thinking of lyrics before he could spit something out.
your eyes watched as changbin took over each beat, his hands moving around to fit syllables with notes and his eyes deadlocked on you to make sure you took down every word. yes, it was offensive. yes, it was beyond talented. yes, did he so fucking hot as he brushed his fingers through his hair, his eyes now on the roof as he tried to think of lyrics to continue. but what hit you the hardest was when he pointed out how cold-hearted you were in the middle of your rap.
to be clear, he said “hey y/n youre cold hearted, like elsa farted. ‘let it go’ when you’re around me,your period hasn’t started” (A/N: I AM SO SORRY SKSK I WANTED TO HAVE FUN WITH THIS LMFAOO)
these lyrics made you laugh at first, but when you realized what he meant it remained drilled in your head. as the song went on his lyrics become more and more serious, more and more meaningful. you sat back in your seat, not even paying attention to what he was saying. you just watched him. his every moment. you eyed him from top to bottom as your heart beat started to pace a little faster. 
changbin poured his heart out in this moment. he wanted to let you know of these mixed feelings he was having. i mean, geez y/n, why were you always such a bitch to him? for no fucking reason? that’s why he decided to ignore his own feelings and bully you for now on. you hated him anyways. but as the song went on, he was tired of rapping about your imperfections (that he tried so hard to make up). he wanted to confess his love in words you could understand, and now that he had your attention he focused on doing just that. only until the music could stop.
“y/n... y/n? you pressed the pause button”
you turned around to find your elbow on the space bar. “oh.. oh! my bad i’m... oh what am i saying” you muttered to yourself before turning to him.
“get out!!” you said, standing up to push him out the door.
“okay, okay” changbin put both hands up in surrender
you shut the door in a hurry, your back slamming against it as you clutched onto your shirt. there was a burning pain there, it felt like your chest was collapsing upon itself. you never felt like this before. was it the fact that he was rapping about you? was it the insults? did it offend you THAT much? you rolled your eyes, your back slowly sliding down until your body met the floor as you finally met a steady heartbeat.
“it’s cause i like you, fucking idiot. and you call me cold-hearted?” you said, thinking back on his lyrics.
“we’ll see about that”
————-
a smug expression fit your mood as you walked down the halls, each step pulling you closer to lordseochangbin music school’s courtyard. changbin and his “rap” friends typically hung out around there and girls crowded them in awe of their looks. 
your dark eye circles drooped down low, you spent all night in distress. did he not like you? he liked you? his words hurt your petty heart, to say the least. you wanted to come up with excuses to answer this burning feeling. what was this feeling? 
it came down to feeling confused, amazed, happy, heartbroken. they all seemed jumbled up and all you could think about was throwing it into words. all night you focused on your new diss track dedicated to the one and only seo changbin. you wanted to show him you weren’t just bitching around when you said you hated him. you meant it. in all honesty you loved him, and all he did was bully you around for it. 
god, to call you a bitch like that? that hit different. you pushed through the mob of girls, standing confidently before changbin as he looked up from his laptop to see you.
“y/n...” he said, unconsciously handing his laptop to jisung to give you his attention. his hands rested on his knees before he could stand up, the crowd tensing around you
“god, here goes the typical y/n and changbin stand-off. power of the two rap lyrical writers” someone said behind you.
yes it was a typical scene, you and changbin causing scenes everywhere around campus. but this one felt different. this scene felt like it would leave a rough patch.
“changbin, just wanted to return what you gave me last night” the vagueness in your words threw everyone off, including changbin’s friends
“what? a good night lyrics to complete your song?” he smirked, taking a daring step towards you.
the close proximity made you stutter a bit before you could take out your laptop from your backpack and expose a rough draft, something you found on changbin’s drive
“wait.. isn’t that my draft music?” he asked, his eyes glaring at the screen before turning back to you
“exactly, now im gonna give you a piece of your own medicine”
--------------
you slinged your backpack over your shoulder and you walked away from the crowd. god, that was embarrassing. it was different to say the least, the crowd cheered you on but their support didn’t matter. what mattered the most was the way changbin’s eyes glared at you the whole time. he didn’t bother to make out the words you were saying but he knew exactly what you were doing.
one thing changbin couldn’t get himself to realize was your motive? why were you literally spitting bars at his face? 
he stared blankly as you left thinking not only did you attack his height, his rap style, and his skills-- you attacked his heart.
---------------
the next day he never came around to your studio. to ensure you weren’t sharing this time you checked the schedule for the booked room everyday but you never found his name. you knew he was around because of the gossip about him and his new single with his mates, but you never saw him on campus. 
when summertime came around you were excited to come home as well, hoping to see the same boy next door but you were more than heartbroken to find out the seo family had moved out. his absence was a daily reminder of the mistake you made. you should’ve confessed way sooner.
---------------
a year passed before changbin could find himself backstage, his palms sweaty from the nervousness that had been piling over him these past few days. it was a small debut, but he knew every one of his fans were anticipating this. 
you, on the other hand, had no idea what was going down until a group of girls jumped ahead of you in the lunch line.
“hey y/n! you didn’t hear about 3racha’s debut? i guess changbin was debuting first after all” the girl giggled. your mouth dropped at the sudden statement.
“changbin.. he’s..he’s debuting?!”
“yeah! his stage is tonight!” the other girl replied, “do you wanna join? i have an extra ticket”
you grabbed the palm of the girl’s hands, giving it a squeeze in gratitude. “wow, thank you. thank you dude” 
“you welcome” the two girls smiled before you could exchange numbers. 
today was the special day, huh? you thought to yourself. it was the day he always teased you about, the typical “just wait till i’m famous, then you’ll like me!” he always bragged
you laughed like an idiot just thinking about it.
------------
later that day you decided to pass some time on twitter, searching changbin in the small text box in order to get any information on his debut. luckily, the tag was filled with posts and articles about 3racha. you learned a couple things from this which explained so much about the past year. his disappearance: he was transdered into a popular company called jyp, which was the same company he was debuting in. the company building was also 200 miles away, which may have explained why the seo family had moved. it seemed all too coincidental however, but only left one spot blank in your unfilled answer sheet. why did he never say goodbye? (a/n: bruh “never say goodbye” is the lyrics to the stray kids ost that changbin helped write... anyways continue)
you jumped into a taxi with the two girls, all bubbly and giggly as you chit-chatted inside the car. the girls ensured you wore an outfit that was a bit out of your comfort zone, a red-shimmery bodycon dress that hugged your waist tight. your figure shined the most in this outfit, and earned the top topic in your conversation with the girls as you talked about the usual “where and how” you got your outfit. 
200 miles, it took about two hours you supposed at the steady speed the taxi-driver went in. once two hours passed you couldn’t help but to ditch the conversation, a pit in your stomach slowly building as you anticipated changbin’s presence. what if he forgot about you? you thought about the question for a bit before concluding it would be best if he did forget about you. 
you entered the club, finding a table nearby the stage. as the three of you got seated you noticed a face peek out behind the curtains. if it wasn’t the look on his face, god that look on his face. you could see his shocked expression as he looked at you eye-to-eye. he never expected to see you here, in fact it was the last thing that crossed his mind but instead of making him more nervous your presence made him feel more at ease, more at home. 
three performances went by in a breeze, the crowd cheering on at certain parts that impressed even you. the lyrics were fun, having you jumping in your seat as swaying back and forth to the songs. but before you knew it the solo stages came on, changbin’s was up first.
the second he got on the stage his eyes scanned the crowd before they landed on you once again. a smug smirk fitted his face as the song started, chan and jisung looking over at changbin for the message that inspired the song lyrics.
“this one’s dedicated to the girl that broke my heart. there’s more to the story of course, and now that i think about it.. i think i should probably change my words up a bit” he laughed, taking chan and jisung by surprise before they could find you in the crowd as well.
“this song... it’s to the girl i loved.. and i hated the most. thank you for being there for me, whether you wanted to or not. thank you for.. dealing with my bullshit. for being my motivation and inspiration. you mean so much more than you’ll ever know, this one’s to you”
------
three minutes later you found yourself crying in the bathroom corner. you couldn’t tell if it was tears of joy or sadness. small sniffles was all changbin heard in the tiny room before he could knock on the door
“y/n, can i come in?”
“you would still come in even if i said no” you replied in the midst of tears, trying to wipe some off with your hand
“you’re right” changbin replied as he allowed the door to open by itself. he ran to you in a heartbeat, getting you on your feet and wiping the small droplets on your cheeks
“now why is my babygirl crying right now?” he laughed, leaning down to lock eyes with you 
“did you really have to address me as babygirl?! seriously, you pervert!” you slapped his chest as you continued crying “i’m only three years younger, THREE” you pointed three fingers out as he softly grabbed your wrists, pulling you closer
“ it was all i could think of in the moment, i’m sorry love”
“i mean if i was there to help you-”
“are we seriously going to argue right now” changbin interrupted, resting his forehead against yours. there it was. your heart doing that funky thing again. god your brain cells were just squirming in disgust.. this feeling of excitement, love, yuck! it was disgusting! you thought. but deep down, you really loved seo changbin. with every breath you could never take back the fact that you loved seo changbin.
“no...i just missed you so much” you mumbled, a stutter in the midst as you could feel changbin’s hot breath with the close proximity
“then will you shut up and let me kiss you now? please?” he whispered, his hands cupping your cheeks before you could nod in approval
“did you brush your te-”
“i said shut up” changbin said with a smile before your lips could meet with his. you immediately fell into his hands, yours wrapping around his broad shoulders as he picked you up by your waist. your thighs met the cold stone counter-top of the bathroom, changbin fitting in between your legs as you pulled him in for another kiss. changbin leaned back to meet your eyes again, “you know how long i’ve been waiting to do that?” he gasped, trying to catch his breath
“im sure you can write a song about it” you chuckled
changbin looked at the mirror behind you before turning around to find his bags on the floor. “actually....”
he leaned down to find his laptop inside. “i kinda already did?”

Hello
Requested: No, but send me requests.
Warnings: swearing, abuse, fighting, toxic behaviour.
Harry Hook x reader
Word Count: 3,084
Plot: This is based off the song Everytime by Ariana Grande. It’s about being in a toxic relationship, and even though they know they’re no good for each other they always go back to each other no matter what.
Waiting at the door, it seems like forever, I was suppose to be meeting Harry nearly 2 hours ago. Having the feeling he wasn’t going to show again I storm off and back to my room.
I get tired of your no shows
Unlocking my dorm, I huff and walk over to my bed, Jane my room mate looks up at me.
“Did he not show again?”
“No he didn’t.” I fall back onto my bed. “Am i doing something wrong? That’s 3 times this week he’s not shown.”
“Sweetie you’re not doing anything wrong. Harry’s clearly just not got his priories straight.” She looks at me sympathetically.
“I’m going to find him.” I stand up and quickly change from the clothes I was wearing for our date into a black dress, pink jacket and black heeled ankle boots.
“Is that wise? I mean you’re angry, he might have a good excuse.”
“No, he won’t. I already know what’s happened. I bet I’ll find him in Uma’s office.” Without giving Jane the chance to reply I’m out the door.
Walking down the corridor I walk past people staring at me, I may be an Auradon kid but i am not a princess and certainly do not act like one.
Walking to Uma’s dorm, I knock on the door next to it, which is her office. “Who is it?”
“Y/n. Open up.” The door opens and Uma stands in front of me. “Have you seen Harry?”
“No, sorry. Why?”
“He never showed for our date and I waited 2 hours.” For a second she looks sympathetic but that quickly vanishes. “Huh, maybe he did say something about training?” She puts her fingers to her chin as if she’s thinking.
“No games today Uma. I’m not in the mood.”
“Like I said, try the gym.” She slams the door in my face and I swear I could rip her head off her body.
Sauntering away I make my way towards the gym. Pushing the double doors open probably a little too dramatically, I find Harry training with the rest of the crew but also Jay.
“There you are.”
“Princess.” He smiles at me but keeps training.
“Forget something?” I walk over to him my heels clicking on the tiled floor. “I don’t think so.” “Oh I think you did.” I lean against a pillar and cross my arms. “Nothing comes to mind?” He questions looking at me, I raise my eyebrows, he can’t be serious. “Sweetheart, I’ve been waiting 2 hours for you.” “I’m still confused? I’ve been in the gym, every Thursday 3-5 is my gym time.” “No baby, you were suppose to meet me for our date.” He stops what he’s doing and turns to me. “No that’s tomorrow.” He shakes his head. “Harry, it was today.” Trying not to get angry, I breathe a little deeper, “Y/n it’s tomorrow. I’m certain.” I stand in front of him forcing him to stop.
“No. It was today, and you left me waiting for 2 hours. I told you, that Thursday 3-4 is our weekly date. You’ve not showed up three times now because we keep changing it to suit you.”
“Geez you should calm down, I’m sorry I forgot baby but you don’t control my life.”
You get tired of my control
“Everyone out!” I yell, my patience at breaking point. “What? You can’t just kick us out.” Someone says, I turn to them, it being one of Uma’s pirates. “Get the fuck out now before I pull your tongue out your throat and shove it up your ass.” I yell causing everyone to run out the room.
“Y/n what are ya doing love?” “I’ve had enough of you Harry! You never show up, you except me to revolve my life around you, you never consider my life or plans, it’s like you don’t even care for me!”
“I do! It’s just I’m my own person, you try to control me like I’m some perfect prince and I ain’t. I have duties, to myself and to Uma”
“Here we go again, Uma this Uma that. All ya ever do is talk about that bitch!”
“Don’t you call her that!” Harry grabs my jacket by the collar pulling me into him forcefully. “Get your hands off me.” I shove him away and hit him. “Never ever grab me like that again.” He puts his hand to his cheek where there’s an evident red mark. “You hit me? You actually hit me.” “You grabbed me? All because I called Uma a bitch.” “Yeah and I’d do it again in a heartbeat if you were to say it again.” “Noted. I’m going to go now.” “Wait y/n,” he grabs my hand pulling me back, “I am sorry I missed our date.” “It’s fine Harry. I’ll see you later.” I walk away and out the double doors, as I do, I see a crowd of people standing there, clearly being nosey listening to me and Harry fight. “Scram you pieces of shit!” I growl and they all scatter running away.
Walking back to my dorm, i think about what happened with Harry, how he grabbed me and he said he’d do it again if I disrespected Uma, maybe he’s not who I thought he was.
Sighing I enter my room, and take my jacket off throwing it on my bed. “Oh my god! Y/n your neck.” Jane says, I turn to look at her, not realising, Evie and Carlos were sat with her.
“What?” “It’s all red! Like a huge red mark!”
I walk to the mirror and inspect my neck, she was right, there was a huge mark, it must of been where Harry grabbed my collar.
“What happened?”
“Oh erm, Harry grabbed me.”
“He what?!” All 3 say at the same time.
“Yeah, he grabbed me by the collar, but I shoved him away and hit him.” “Jesus y/n, you hit him?” I sit down on my bed opposite the three who were all sat on Jane’s bed.
“Erm yeah, I had no choice, I don’t think he would of let go otherwise.”
“Do we need to talk to him? Im sure Mal and Jay would be happy too.”
“No I’m fine honestly, I sorted it.”
“If you’re sure.” “I am. Thank you though.”
I stand up and walk over to my vanity, I keep lots of things in it but mostly alcohol. I pour myself a drink and down it. “Steady y/n.” Evie says, “I want to forget today ever happened so I’m not slowing down.” I repeat my actions, drink, pour, drink, pour and so on.
I get drunk, pretend that I'm over it
By 10pm I was laying in my bed, drunk and crying, “Why is my life like this Jane? Why couldn’t I have chosen a simple prince, why did I fall for the most complicated boy in Auradon?”
“I don’t know y/n. You know what they say, you can’t chose who your fall for.” “I understand that I do! But I just don’t get Harry, why can’t he just give me some of his time, it’s like he doesn’t even care about me but then he tells me he loves me? It’s so toxic.” “If you feel like that, you should end things with him. You can’t stay with someone you feel doesn’t care about you, even if they do say they love you.”
“But I can’t! There’s something about him that draws me too him, it’s like a connection. I’m hopeless without him but we’re evil together.”
They keep telling me to let go
But I don't really let go when I say so
“Sweetie, you need to sleep and talk to him tomorrow. You can’t make decisions while you’re drunk.” “I suppose not.” Just as I’m about to snuggle down into bed, there’s a knock at the door. “I’ll get it.” I get up and open the door, “Harry? What are you doing here?” “I needed to see you. To make sure you were okay.” He slurred his words and if I wasn’t so drunk I’d say he was drunker.
“Are you high?” I ask being able to smell it on him. “Maybe just a little.” “Oh for god sake, you need to go and sleep it off. We can talk tomorrow.” I push him out the room and walk him to his dorm, we’re like a pair of idiots, he’s leaning on me because he’s seeing double and I’m trying not to trip because the room is spinning.
I open his door to find Gil, Jay and Carlos, they all share a room. “Can one of you take him? He’s high.” I say shoving Harry off me and he falls on Gil’s bed. “Where are ya going?” “To bed.” I attempt to walk to the door but can’t locate it. “Are you drunk y/n?” I turn, not sure which one said it, “Yes, I’ve had a rough day. Don’t judge.” I narrow my eyes at the three of them.
“The doors on the left.” I nod and walk to the door, pushing it open, with a force before tripping over my own feet, making my way back to the dorm.
You get high and call on the regular
I pull my covers back and try to fall asleep, I know for a fact I’ll be hungover tomorrow and have to deal with Harry.
Waking up my hard was pounding, “Ugh.” Rolling over I sit up to Jane not in her bed, picking up my alarm clock, the small numbers reading 1:30pm. I’ve missed all my classes, I’m going to be in so much trouble.
“Oh morning sleepy head!” The door opens and Jane strolls in with a bag of food.
“You’ve missed your classes but I covered for you, said you were ill and when my mum checked on you, you were sleeping so I think you’re safe. I bought you water and a sandwich.”
“Oh thank you.” I stand up and quickly walk over to my wardrobe getting dressed into black jeans and a black top before brushing my teeth. As I sit down to eat, I ask Jane, “Have you er, have you seen Harry today?”
“I did, he was at practice. He didn’t seem himself.” She had a puzzled look on her face.
“Oh, I’m going to go and see him.” I stand up having finished my food and put my boots on.
“Okay, he should be in the gym, practice ran an hour late today so they don’t finish till 2.” I nod, leaving our room.
Mine and Harry’s relationship has always been rocky and by far no means perfect. We argue more than anything, we’re complete opposites, but we’ve been together for 3 years now.
Pushing open the gym door, I see the boys all stood in a circle talking. I stay back and wait sitting down on a bench. The boys break and all walk in different directions, Harry looks around the room spotting me and smiling slightly.
“Hey you.” He comes and sits with me, putting his arm around my shoulders.
“Where were you today?” “I slept through my alarm so didn’t bother with my lessons.” I shrug, “Fairy godmother was concerned about ya, so was I.” “I’m fine. Just overslept.” He pushes my hair out my face and a worrying look appears on his face, “Is that what I did yesterday?” He runs his fingers over the red mark on my neck, I flinch slightly, it clearly bruising. “Yeah.” I sigh, I look up at him for the first time and see a big purple bruise on his face, “Is that what I did yesterday?” Shocked I put both hands on his face and run my thumb over the bruise.
“It’s okay, I deserved it. I’m so sorry I did that to you.” His head drops and I lift his chin.
“Don’t be.” “I’m no good for you Y/n.” “Don’t you say that.” I sit even closer to him, “But it’s true Y/n. We fall out so much, I’m not good enough for you. You should be with someone who deserves you.” I shake my head profoundly, “That’s not true. If anything it’s the other way around Harry.” “I feel like we need space.” “What?” “I’m sorry but it’s over, we need time apart.” He gets up letting my hands go, before walking out the room. Shocked I sit there for ages, staring at the ceiling, my whole world falling apart around me. The silence was so loud it was deafening, it was like I was in another world, everything moving in slow motion.
Because I'm really not here when you're not there
I stand up and wipe the single tear that fell down my cheek away. I walk, slowly back to my room, when I open the door Jane was there, sat at her desk reading. “You okay?” I shake my head and sit on my bed pulling my knees to my chest. “What happened?” “We broke up.” I shut my eyes trying to not let the tears fall. “Oh Y/n I’m sorry.” Jane takes my silence as a queue to talk again, “Do you still want to go to the barbecue?” “Sure, I can’t hide forever I suppose.” I stand up and grab a grey jumper, slipping it over my black top.
“Let’s go.” She links our arms and I smile slightly at her efforts to cheer me up.
We walk out to the field and see everyone sat around a fire. “Hey Y/n.” Mal waves me and Jane over and we sit with her, I see Harry’s head rise at the mention of my name and he looks at me quickly before dropping his eyes again.
The evening flows and all I can do is stare into space and smile at people when they mention my name, I couldn’t even look at Harry without feeling emotionless.
I keep giving people blank stares
I'm so different when you're not there
Once the bonfire finishes, I stay and sit in front of the fire, even though the evening was cold, the air was warm from the flames. “Want some company?” I look up surprised, “Sure.” I shuffle over and make room for Harry. “What are you doing here? I thought you wanted space.” “I did, but I can see you’re shutting everyone out. You didn’t speak a single word at the bonfire.” “I didn’t feel like it.” “Love, you can’t ignore people.” “Why not? You do.” “That’s different.” “Oh really? So it’s different when you ignore me, when you ignore our plans?” “No it’s not but Y/n you know we’re not good for each other.” “We are for each other, we are so good for each other Harry.” “What makes you say that! We’re toxic, we argue, hell we even hit each other yesterday, we’re crazy.” Angry I stand up, “You’re wrong. We may be bad for each other but the good out-ways it. Hell when we’re good we’re amazing, I love you Harry, you know that.” “I love you too but I can’t deal with the stress, the control and the things you make me do.” “Fine then.” I walk away but he grabs me pulling me back. “I’m sorry love but it’s just how it has to be.” “Go to hell.” I yell at him before walking away and back to my room.
-(A month later) as I walk into the cafeteria, everyone stops talking and they all look at me, “What are you all looking at?” I shout, causing everyone to continue talking and eating, word must of spread about mine and Harry’s break up.
I sit at an empty table and eat my lunch.
“Y/n!” I look up to see Jane running towards me. “You’ve got to come with me now!” She drags me out my chair. “What? What’s going on?” She doesn’t answer me but continues run. “Jane stop!” I pull my arm back halting her in her tracks. “Tell me now!” “It’s Harry, he’s gone crazy, he’s challenged Chad to a fight, loser having to go to the Isle.” Following her out to the field, I see everyone gathered around Chad and Harry, I push through everyone until I’m stood in between them, “Have you gone mad?”I yell at Harry, he looks surprised to see me, I’m surprised to see him too, I haven’t seen him in a month. “Maybe.” “This stops now.” I say pushing Chad away and dragging Harry by the arm. “You’re insane. Loser has to go to the isle? Harry, Chad would of beat you easily.” “That’s the point.” We sit away from everyone on the bleachers. “You want to go back to the isle?”
“Yeah, I mean I’ve no purpose here now.” “What do you mean? Of course you do?” “Not without you Y/n. I’ve had this hell this last month. I’ve not been myself. I’ve hated it.”
I'm so different when you're not there
“Me too.” I look up at him and grab his hands, he stares at me with those blues eyes that could melt anyone’s heart and make them fall to their knee’s.
I get weak and fall like a teenager
“I’m really sorry, I thought I needed space but I really don’t.” I smile slightly and look up at him.
“You mean so much to me.” He places a hand on my face and kisses me softly. “I’ve missed you.” I pull him in for a hug and hold him tight.
“Don’t leave me again.” He squeezes me tightly and lets go, resting his forehead on mine, “I won’t. Even if we are no good.” I giggle, making him laugh too. I kiss him again and turn in my seat, leaning into his chest, he sighs and puts his arm around my shoulders. “I love you.” “I love you too.” I reply. Let’s see how long this good phase lasts before we fall out again.
I go back to you, back to you, back to you everytime.
-
Hope you liked it. Working on request now will be up tomorrow or Wednesday.

The low s c r a p e of clean tape pulled tautly around multicolored knuckles makes your heart quiver with how enticingly familiar it sounds. The adhesive binds your skin more closely than normal - a conscious choice, for your thumb continues to creak on rusted hinges with every move you make. You sure as shit aren’t about to let something as meaningless as a fractured bone get in your way. Not this time.
An absence of proper air-conditioning makes the surrounding air feel grossly thin, quick sharp breaths punctuated by stale sweat and the musk of damp bricks. Uncovered walls undulate in and out with every passing second as a result of your impaired vision for it is difficult to properly illuminate an entire basement with burning candles and exposed bulbs hanging on by a singular protruding wire.
In the center of the room, locked inside loosely strung crimson ropes, your opponent for the evening absolutely decimates his current victim; contorts him into a mass of crippled bones and utmost a g o n y. The fairy in question shrieks with agony as their one-sided bout is called to a rather abrupt end, all adrenaline lost against the brutality of heated blood bubbling over his chin from shattered teeth and a white-hot terror as one shimmering wing droops limply after being torn from its socket.
Kaz is no joke. He never has been. And yet you could watch his unwavering destruction for hours without complaint.
The sound of your name being pronounced dryly into a harsh microphone has you immediately shuffling forward, heartbeat quivering musically from within your throat. Inside your back pocket you can feel the tremendous weight of a hand-written note from your mother - her most recent attempt to desperately pluck you from obscurity and back into the fanciful family home. Try as she might, you cannot be pried from the murky depths you so ravenously crave.
Some things are more important than wealth.
Like the feeling of Kaz’s rough skin and titanium knuckles raining down on you. He does not know the meaning of the word caution, nor restraint, nor pacing. It is not as one-sided as you previously envisioned, however. The organized wrap of insulation tucked haphazardly around your fists aiding in quite the solid impact over an otherwise chiselled jaw. His lip splinters into two grotesque segments, coated in a rich enamel of steadily flowing blood which makes your stomach tingle; builds a magnificent pressure between your thighs. And there’s a very deliberate - very loud - cracking in Kaz’s mandible which seems to ricochet throughout this dimly lit arena.
Yet, he’s quite the fucking force to be reckoned with. Formidable. Pummeling you down into suspiciously stained canvas with hoof marks speckled all the way down toward your tailbone. It would almost be impossible to determine if you are vampire or just a collision of angry amaranth welts and knotted scars and the bruises which flavor angular bone. Partially obscuring your vision burns a ring of dense fog, swirling in neat circles close to damp lashes. And discarded somewhere amidst braided cobwebs and forgotten bandages rests an acute fang ripped from soft gums.
You got your ass handed to you, no doubt about it.
-
With a dull ache permeating throughout every whittled bone and parchment flesh soaked in charcoal from all those firework bruises littering your presence, the night tastes extraordinarily toothsome. You pull s l o w l y on the crutch of your cigarette, savoring how your lungs b u r n with every forced breath, exhaling ringlets which coil toward dusky skies; inhaling tranquility and exhaling all the bullshit. A whirlwind of endorphins causes your toes curl against rain-slick asphalt - and fuck does this sensation alone make it all worth it.
When Kaz’s towering shadow spills over you in a cascade of ominous heat it draws you forth with a powerful magnetism. Obedient to a fault. A mere subordinate. You toss aside your cigarette on pure instinct alone, likening this moment to an uncomfortable afternoon within the principle’s office. Chin straight - look skyward - don’t forget to breathe against the flames.
And when he kisses you your world has been converted into a brightly burning kaleidoscope. There’s color and movement and passion and pleasure all at once. Your head never stops spinning.
“You’re getting better,” Kaz purrs, calloused digits tickling across your fluttering throat. “Keep that up and you’ll be able to take me in no time, champ.”
You waste no time in rolling forward onto the balance of your tiptoes, pecking his lips generously. What your palms lack in confidence they more than make up for in enthusiasm, running your fingertips up and down the tufts of soft velvet fur you can reach at his spine.
“No time, huh? Bet I can take you any time I want.” You can feel your eyes twinkling despite yourself
Kaz’s laughter is pure fucking music. As booming and imposing as his magnified stature yet somehow epitomizing content. Those broad palms push down across the swell of your ass, popping eagerly within the waistband of ill-fitting denim until there is a shock of cold on your own arctic skin. Even through thick material and vacuum-packed plastic you can taste that saccharine nectar of packaged blood - a rather unorthodox reward for being such a good sport.
“Keep up the good work, champ.”
Winning isn’t always everything.

Headbangers Con Survival Guide
What’s shakin folks? Anthony here again with another killer review coming to you from the FIRST EVER HEADBANGERS CON. Did you say Con? Yes, that is not a misprint. On the evening of November 9th Chris 51 and his crew of metal heads hit the Bossanova Ballroom with one thing on their minds…..METAL. Not only was it successful, but this guy is still feeling the high of being in a room with so many great musicians and people. Never in my existence did I ever think idbe chatting with some of the industry’s leading musicians and some of the greats as well. People like David Ellefson, Dirk Verbeuren from MEGADEATH! Aaron Patrick from All That Remains, Carla & Heidi of the Butcher Babies, Morgan Rose of Sevendust, Corey Glover from Living Color and of course we can not forget our gracious host Chris 51.
 You know though for my first time having the pleasure to doing an event like this it went amazingly well. So as the night started to wind down we got a performance from the one and ONLY STRYPER! Man, these guys can still kick a beat and hold their own. Tonight, will always be one of the greatest nights of my life. One of my favorite moments about tonight. I look over in the corner because I was looking around for shots and photo ops, and I noticed Dirk Verbeuren with his head down and drawing on something, so I wanted to be nosy and walked over and started talking to this lovely young woman named Elizabeth Engel from a non-profit organization called RYFO. They help struggling musicians. She had asked Dirk to draw her a T-Shirt design for her organization and he didn’t even hesitate and did it on the spot. That totally blew me away, here he is supposed to be partaking on the festivities but decides to help this organization out. I got fucking goose bumps. Don’t believe me see the pics. Dirk again you are a hell of a drummer and human being, thank you. But I also believe that tonight I was apart of METAL HISTORY! When im wheeling my old ass in a wheelchair going to the 25th annual Headbangers con and its my 25th then I will reference this article and I will rest my case! so tonight I say good day and ill have more tomorrow
Sometimes you can’t help but be a bit giddy. Start to ask yourself who are you going to meet today? What am I going to do? First I’m going to sit in and hear some stories from Eddie Ojeda of Twisted Sister. Did you know that when Twisted Sister first got signed not only were they signed to a UK label, but people thought they were from Europe? Wow, I had no idea. Also, Eddie has a line of Twisted Hot Sauces, that are amazing, so I bought three. I walked around and went over to the exhibit hall to check out the merch booths.  Then I went back for the Butcher Babies Heidi and Carla. I bet you didn’t know that one of Heidi’s influences is Slipknot well specifically Corey Taylor and her favorite song is the New National Fucking Anthem SURFACING!!! One of my personal favorites as well. Then Carla is a grief counselor and she is a big fan of the immortal PANTERA! As the day wrapped up from elbowing with Rock Gods, Chris 51 had some special entertainment planned. Hyro The Hero and Soil. To be honest I think Portland is still ringing from that show. As you go to a Con or an event that spans over a couple days you can’t help but wonder what you missed or what you lucked out of. Between panels and signing’s, it can be overwhelming. So, I suggest you find a map or the list of events and plan your weekend. Sunday was here and well I didn’t want it to end, its like that favorite moment that you want to live over and over again. Today I was going to sit in on the Burton C Bell panel well because I like Fear Factory. Jose Mangin our host took the stage. I learned a lot about Burton and Fear Factory. Did you know that their name was taken from a Demo tape they got in Europe? One of their first gigs was in a back yard and Dino kept getting shocked because they weren’t grounded properly. Then we sang Happy Birthday to the one and only David Ellefson. As the day closes and the con is packing up you can’t help but feel saddened and a bit down. So, I got to get a book signed by David Ellefson, and I got a post card signed by Derek Riggs the creator of Iron Maiden’s Eddie. Plus, I don’t know if you all know this, but I am a huge star wars nut and bought a really cool book. I wanted to also see what some of these great artists had to say about headbangers con.
Carla Harvey (Butcher Babies)
EE: Just out of curiosity would you do another Headbangers Con
Carla: Oh of course its been a blast it’s very impressive for the first year for the first Head Bangers Con. I think these kind of things should be a staple everywhere around the country don’t you?
EE: I totally agree
EE: Now, would you change anything?
Carla: Would I change anything, I think this is a great example of what a Head Bangers con should be. There’s nothing that I would change, really nothing. There are so many great people here, the fans have all been awesome and the vendors as well. Maybe have them all in one room so we don’t have to walk around as much.
EE: Was it overwhelming to be in the room with so many of the greats like Burton C Bell, David Ellefson?
Carla: WE have been lucky enough to be in the business for over a decade now and a lot of these people we idolized in our youth have become friends over the years, this is more like a family reunion than anything.
EE: Now I have one important question for you sir, would you attend another Head Bangers Con?  (Ron Keel)
RK: I would do it in a heartbeat this has been a fantastic event I’m really glad to be apart of it, and um we have made some new friends seen some old friends and just keep this thing going if Chris Fitty One wants me back for Con number 2 ill be there!
EE: Are you having a good time?
RK: I am absolutely having a blast loving the Rock Star treatment. And a great event for the fans and artists as well!
Nathan Hunt (Shamans Harvest)
EE: how are you doing this morning?
NH: Well I need a lot of coffee especially after last night….
EE: I bet its been a wild weekend.
EE: So the major question is would you do another Head Bangers Con?
NH: Fuck yeah!
EE: Tell me a little bit about your experience this weekend?
NH: Anytime your around like-minded people you know that passion for music it’s always going to be a good weekend.
EE: does it feel like a family reunion?
NH: yes its definitely got that family reunion vibe we all got fucked up Friday, and I chilled yesterday and ordered pizza.
EE: Are you having a good time?
NH: Most definitely I am, learning a lot of shit, with Jose on the stage grinding away.
Davey Grahs (POP EVIL)
EE: The million dollar question is, would you be apart of another Head Bangers Con?
DG: OH Hell yeah, hell yeah this has been great!
EE: What is your thoughts on the concept of having a con for metal heads like us?
DG: I love it I don’t know why we haven’t had anything like this before or sooner
EE: What’s next for Pop Evil
DG: well we have a Canadian tour kicking off next week, then a US run and end it in Europe.
Dirk Verbeuren (MEGADEATH)
EE: Curious, would you be apart of another Head Bangers Con?
DV: absolutely I would this has been a total blast, and ah I think it will only get better since this is the first edition after all.
EE: Where do you think the next location will be?
DV: I am rooting for Los Angeles because it is closer to my house and I like sleeping in my own bed. Lol no I think L.A would be a be a better place because there are a lot of conventions there and its very busy there is a lot of people in the metal scene that would definitely dig things like this so.
Jose Mangin (Sirius Xm Radio)
EE: So Would you be involved with another Head Bangers Con?
JM: Oh My God of course that is a no brainer, I would never miss something that’s as cool as a gathering of us metal fans and  to able to help be a leader for it, a voice for it, it’s an honor to be here. If I saw one dude wearing a metal shirt that’s all I need, but I see a ton of people with big hearts for metal ill never miss this again.
EE: You have done panels for the last two days, right at this moment what is your favorite so far?
JM: I mean dude, Megadeath is one of my all time favorite bands and just always talking to someone of his stature (David Ellefson) it freaks me out because I have been such a long time fan.
EE: Do you still get the giggles when you do interviews?
JM: Always , Always I never take this job, this position this life I have for granted it’s a huge responsibility. But First and foremost I am a FAN.
EE: One last question What would you tell Chris 51 right now?
JM: Dude, I would say thank you for getting all of us head bangers together. Thank you and lets do it again!
Corey Glover (Living Color)
EE: Would you do another Con like this?
CG: Absolutely in a heartbeat I would do it tomorrow, yeah this is fun this is great.
EE: Do you think this is going to open bigger doors and open people’s eyes?
CG: I do I think that as a band, to connect to your audience and the people who appreciate what you do is hard to do at a show, if your really working you only have about a half an hour to meet and greet your fans but its only hi and that’s it. This I get you talk to people all day and that we don’t get to do on a daily basis. Plus the fans can ask specific questions that you don’t get the opportunity to ask at a meet and greet. It like what kind of pick are you using why did you do this instead of that. That is when I feel more connected to my fans.
Burton C Bell (Fear Factory)
EE: Would you do another metal Con and Why
BB: Yes and because its FUCKING FUN AS HELL!
EE: is there anything that really stood out for you this weekend?
BB: Umm just the Family vibe
EE: I have been hearing that a lot from people
BB: and that’s what this is it’s a celebration of the genre intrinsically even if you are a musician or not.
Then I got to see the new Fear Factory album cover…. He hehe…..
This last weekend was not only the time of my life but I have to say very eye-opening. From all the Vendors like The Star Wars Store, Rogue Toys, Period Panties, Terasyne Amps, ROCKSTAR clothing, Morbid Empire, Metal Yoga, Paradise Harley Davidson, Rose City Vapors, and all the tattoo artists. I can’t forget to mention Toxic Zombie, Cryptamnesia, M.I.R.P,  YesterdazeNews Bob Williams Photography you my friend my hats off. You all made me feel very welcome into the fold and I can not wait to shoot side by side and work with you all again. Plus Jose Mangin from Sirius Xm Radio. Brother never lose that passion, I love listening to you on the radio and enjoyed watching you on stage during the panels.
This weekend couldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the great works by Chris 51 and Morgan Rose. You two started a domino effect that will hopefully last for generations. You gave the metal fans a place where we can be as one and feel like we are family.
Chris and Morgan, I personally can not thank you enough for showing this world what metal is and is always going to be. I am anxiously waiting for the news of the next one.
So guys that’s all I am going to say, if you missed out on all the wonderful panels, and your favorite artists. I am truly sorry you missed a HEAD BANGING WEEKEND!!
Thanks again for reading and enjoying what I had to say
  Remember Keep it real and keep it METAL!
I’ll catch you on the flipside!

jinwoo imagine
basically you go to a fireworks show with your bestfriends, moonbin and dongmin, and you see your crush jinwoo :3 enjoyyy
"moonbin, i swear to fucking god if you don't stop touching my hair," i threaten, turning around to face my best friend in the desk behind me.
"damn, chill. im just bored," he sighs, and i roll my eyes before turning back around to lie my head down on my desk tiredly.
i start drifting to sleep in the most boring class of all- history. the teacher had put on a boring video for us to watch about medieval europe that i could've cared less about. as im resting on my desk, i suddenly hear the door to our classroom open and i open my eyes to see him walking in. park jinwoo.
he was late a lot, but he was a pretty good and smart guy. i had the biggest crush on him, and it's been that way since the ninth grade, when we first met in the yearbook club, where we were both assigned as photographers, and there were two people per role, so we worked together often.
but, i had always gotten too shy and never actually had the courage to get his number, or confess my feelings.
i feel moonbin poking me as soon as he walks in the room, and as much as i want to keep my eyes on jinwoo, i turn around to scold bin again.
"bin," i complain, and he's waving his eyebrows up and down. i sigh, turning back around as jinwoo takes his assigned seat next to me.
he places his bag down and turns to me immediately. "hey, y/n." he greets and i lift my head up, a smile appearing on my face.
"hi, jinwoo." i reply, trying to keep my cool, and he returns a cute smile before turning to the video.
ugh. why couldn't i keep a damn conversation with this gorgeous guy??
i hear moonbin chuckling behind me, and i ignore him.
******after school
i open the front entrance doors to the school, immediately feeling the humid may air. dongmin groans next to me.
"guys! i have a good idea! there's a firework show tonight, and literally like everyone at this school will be there, so since i know you guys are some lame asses and don't have any plans, we're going!" he announces, and i share a confused look with dongmin.
"i have a lot of friends, thank you very much," dongmin answers, shaking his head. moonbin snorts.
"yesyes, sure. and im not the most popular guy in school. let's stop with the lies, dongmin." bin replies, and dongmin sighs in defeat.
"im up for it," i tell them, and moonbin cheers.
"hell yea! i bet jinwoo will be there!" he laughs, and leans over to nudge my shoulder.
i smack his arm playfully and he continues laughing.
"yoon sanha! get your ass back here!" i hear someone yell a little too loud, and we hear a bunch of footsteps running down the sidewalk.
i turn around just as two guys whip past me, and jinwoo is running slowly behind them.
he stops, leaning over and panting.
"you good there?" bin asks and jinwoo looks up.
"yeah, yeah, im fine. my friend myungjun just got mad at my other friend sanha for taking his phone so he started chasing him and i tried following so, yea." he explains and we nod, not really understanding.
"well, gotta go! bye, y/n!" he says, only saying my name with his goodbye, and i feel my heart skip a beat.
"what an ass. my names moonbin, by the way!" bin replies, calling out the last part.
i smack his arm again and he laughs.
******20:45
"you ready or what?" i hear bin call from in my room as i stand in my bathroom getting ready.
i stare at myself in the mirror, trying to figure out what outfit to wear and which way i should do my hair. "just a second," i yell back, deciding on a red hoodie that says vibes in black font.
i slide on some black ripped skinny jeans and my regular black converse, just deciding to leave my naturally straight hair down.
i open the door and bin and dongmin look up.
"damn! a snack!" moonbin says loudly, a laugh following. i laugh also, and we all stand up to go leave.
we go downstairs, and my mom tells us goodbye.
"i hear moonbin say he wanted a snack?" she says, walking into the living room with a small bowl of grapes. we all laugh, but take the grapes as we leave and say bye to her.
we get in dongmin's car, and begin leaving to the park where the firework show would take place. i feal my heart beat getting faster as we near the park, nervous if jinwoo is actually there.
"you okay, y/n? you look a little too pale." dongmin asks me, and i turn to him as he's nex to my in the driver's seat, slowly nodding.
"she's just excited to see her crush, jinwoooo!" moonbin sings from the back and they laugh.
"if myungjun is there, ill be excited, too." dongmin replies, turning to see bin's reaction. moonbin laughs in response.
"as if. why waste your time, when you got a full course meal sitting right here?" bin sighs dramatically and we all laugh, already pulling into the parking lot.
"did you bring blankets at least?" i ask, them and bin nods, grabbing two big blankets from the trunk.
we get out of the car, and i realize we would need either chairs or blankets to avoid sitting on the uncomfortable grass.
"did you bring blankets or chairs?" i ask them, and bin nods, grabbing two big blankets out of the trunk.
we start walking through the park, and i immediately recognize many kids that go to our school. we find an empty spot big enough for the three of us, and that's when i spot him.
he's walking down the long row of blankets and chairs, a bag of popcorn in each of his hands. i decide this is my moment, and quickly jump up as he's passing our spot.
"jinwoo! hey!" i greet him, and he turns, smiling softly as he sees me.
"hi, y/n. i didn't think you'd be here! are you alone? want to hang out with me, myungjun and sanha?" he replies, still smiling. i laugh nervously
"n-no, im actually here with moonbin and dongmin. can i come say hi, though?" i ask.
"of course, c'mon!" he says, adjusting the bags of popcorn so he's holding two in one hand, and he grabs mine with the other, making my heartbeat quicken again.
he lead me to his other two friends, and i greet them as well.
"hi guys! mind if i chill for a bit?" i ask, suddenly having a lit of courage. they both say they don't mind, and i plop down next to jinwoo. i look down at our hands, realizing he hasn't let go of mine yet. he looks over at me, and looks down, realizing it too, and pulls it away, blushing immediately. "im so sorry," he nervously chuckles and i smile.
"thats okay. i didnt really mind." i answer, and he smiles back, before grabbing it again.
"really?" he says, and i nod, as he lets out a soft chuckle.
i stare at his face as the fireworks start, trying to focus on the show but i really couldn't focus on anything but him. i just wnated to let everything out and tell him how much he meant to me.
he looks over, and smiles when im already looking at him. i look away, embarrassed.
"you're so cute!" he laughs, and i shake my head, feeling my hand get sweaty.
"you are, too," i say, laughing with him.
we stay quiet for a moment, and he lets go of my hand, leaning back on his own. i feel a little sad, but i dont say anything, continuing to watch the beautiful fireworks.
"i really like you," he says suddenly, and i turn to him, my eyes widening.
"uh, what?" i say and he blushes like crazy, looking down.
"yeah, i really do like you, and i have since i met you at the yearbook club. taking photos with you was so fun." he replies softly, and i keep staring at him.
"i-i do too." i say and he smiles again, which helps me calm down.
"really? i didn't think so." he says, chuckling as he coolly grabs my hand again.
i suddenly hear cheering as im about to reply and i immediately think its someine cheering after the fireworks ending, but i look over to see bin and dingmin standing up, cheering and watching us. jinwoo laughs as my face turns red.
"im sorry, they're so embarrassing!" i apologize, and he shakes his head, still laughing.
the fireworks do eventually end, and i tell him ill be right back.
i run over to bin and dongmin, ready to start cheering with them.
"what are you doing, stupid! go back to your man!" bin says, immediately pushing me back away. "i-i, okay? you can leave without me, though, ill probably get a ride from them!" i say and he nods, still pushing me.
i run back over and plop down again.
"they're leaving, so you think you can give me a ride?" i ask, and he nods, not forgetting to grab my hand as we stand up.
myungjun collects their blankets and we go to jinwoos car.
"ill drop you two off first." jinwoo says to sanha and myungjun, surprising me.
they agree and we eventually make it to their houses, letting them out.
he asks for the directions to my house and i tell him where it is, it being only 5 minutes away from sanhas.
"history is so boring these days," he says and i agree by nodding.
"i know, right? it's the same series of videos every week." i laugh, and we continue the small talk about school.
as we're already pulling up to my house, he unlocks the doors and i start getting out, about to say bye to him, but he opens his door too, walking to the door with me.
i look at him as we reach the door and he smiles. "okay, well, thank you so much for the ride." i say, not really knowing what to add, just wishing i would've found the time to kiss him, or even ask him out somewhere again.
"no, thank you for keeping us company." he says, and we stand still for a second before he suddenly starts leaning towards me.
he softly kisses me, gently touching my back eith one hand, the other touching the side of my face.
i kiss back and after a sadly short time, we both pull away, smiling.
"ill see you tomorrow?" he asks, and i nod, and he grabs my hand one last time before letting it go as he begins walking back to his car. i lean against the front door watching him drive away.
i go inside, yelling an excited hi to my mom who's sitting on the couch watching tv, and i run upstairs, ready to text to my groupchat with dongmin and moonbin about my night with jinwoo.

Something bothering me rn that my friend's husband keeps doing, is implying that Melania is a victim been held against her will and we should have pity for her because she trapped. And yeah, that may be true to an extent, but let's not pretend she's some innocent person who fell into 45's tiny grasp who has done no wrong. She has repeated stood up for and supported him and his platform and beliefs. If you think she doesn't know what he is, you're delusional and probably trying to infantilize her by assuming she has no power and is stuck in hell. She may not have full free will and she may be miserable in it, but let's not forget she chose her prison and continues to defend it. If she's that unhappy then death should be preferable and she should kill herself. And I say that as someone who has co-morbid mental illnesses, and has tried to and wanted to kill myself before. Because if it's between a life in hell and freedom through death (especially if that hell involved being married to someone like 45) you bet your ass I would throw myself off his tower in a heartbeat. Save your sympathy for the women and children in human trafficking or being abused and commodified, and do not expect me to feel sorry for a woman like her.
