@eucyon Oh my god tumblr ate your ask I’m so lucky I screenshotted. So mad I have to type again . Thank you so much for dis question it’s so fun and made me really think to be honest ^__^ ILYSMMMM this is long but it’s too fun
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is Lynx’s most popular album, Conspiracy Theories. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have a pic of lynx as the cover even if it’s silly. I really like rabbit imagery in music anyways though so I think it’s nice. I was inspired by Alice In Chains album covers and also fleshwater’s ‘we’re not here to be loved’. I tried to find a way to make it more 'gritty' but I couldn’t unfortunately 😭 I like how the title looks, like they just got a label maker and smacked it on..heheh
I imagine that this album is about relationship anxiety, betrayal, resentment, anti social tendencies, infidelity, and aliens. Probably not little green men, maybe more like the thing kind of fleshy imagery. Definitely appealing to atlas and scotch in different ways. Tool’s Undertow is a good example (off the top of my head..) of the sound I’m thinking of, so… prog? Or at least heavily inspired. I’m bad with genres heheh
im currently trying to either become okay with roadkill's name, or decide on a new one.. so im not making any album covers for them yet lol but i will post when i do..
I think roadkill would take a lot of inspo from their fave band so their style is probably heavily influenced by Lynx. Scotch adds a lot of sampling, distortion, whatever..idk I don’t make music.. and atlas is a big fan of slow tempo and bass. think its important to note that atlas doesnt play bass like a bassist in this album, he plays it more like a guitarist. kind of. hope that makes sense. I’ve always been really torn about roadkill’s genre, it’s been everywhere and tends to change. scotch and atlas’ styles would be vastly different if they were solo, so I think that’s why i am so indecisive . I think I just have to keep reminding myself that they’re in a band together, so styles would be mixed.
A part of me is like.. I think roadkill’s first album would be reminiscent of faith no more’s ‘the real thing’, or even some of Primus' stuff in some sense, plus similarities to Lynx and influences of industrial. i know thats a lot of random descriptions. I kinda think of (here’s a goofy genre for ya) sludge metal bands’ instrumental style, not necessarily vocal style... its hard to describe a band that doesnt exist. LMFAO
right now im thinking about 'the pot' by tool as a close example of roadkill.. im having a hard time finding artists that match scotch's vocal range even remotely. also doesnt help that the bands im basing this off of like tool and FNM dont exactly...fit into genres very neatly. roadkill and lynx wouldnt either. HAH. i just know it wouldnt be that high quality but definitely obvious theres a lot of passion in it. i mean this is just an album made by guys who dontknow what theyre doing. like at all. lol
Roadkill’s sound changes quite a bit their next album when seraph is involved. It becomes a lot more ummmm I guess palatable to more people? I don’t exactly know what I mean by that. Ok. LOL. I’ll think about it.. but this is around when Scotch realizes he wants this to be his job. Having Seraph helps A LOT with building a more dedicated and bigger audience, since they’re the one most willing to make changes. Plus they’re in art school, I feel like they’d have connections. So I guess roadkill would sell out in a way.
if you asked me this question a year ago i would have had a completely different answer. i wouldve probably said roadkill is pop punk or garage rock or something. i have trouble fitting scotch and atlas into a genre together. it fits scotch just fine and i think he would enjoy it, but its not roadkill.. also ive been thinking of stylizing roadkill as rdkill.. lmk wat u think.. im unsure about the name is generalHAHA. i know this is a lot so dont feel pressured to reply to everything LMAO im just thinking out loud. and drawing connections between genres that completely do not make sense. peace and LOVE<3

u should give ME recs of the bands u like
srry i take 4ever but OF COURSE 💪
first of main recommendation 4ever is flatsound I KNOW he has popular stuff but he gets me like no one else my bff since i was like 13. he gets a bit overbearing and a bit like. idk too much occasionally buttttt i pgive him a pass. generally id recommend anything from his 2011 album "i clung to you hoping we'd both drown", GOOD SHIT on there but scotland i wish you had stayed/last minute cycle/four songs for losing you/if we could just pretend/losing intrerest and the trust i had in you r all reallly good. heat death, eight months, computer wound, soap, prayer beads, syrup, old lumina, i lost control, meow meow meow, last minute cycle, im so concerned about the ending that i dont even know the plot, cute stuff like that. theres probably more but thats just off the top of my head. idek. he has some good instrumental albums too :)
speaking of if u like instrumental stuff -> BUCKETHEAD. HIII. hes so funny i love him my fav album by him is colma my mom and dad used to play it in the car all the time and it still makes me cry. i wouldnt say his stuff is lifechanging but i use it for bg drawing noise all the time and its sweet stuff + hes really really fun to watch live and play. cool guy.
be your own pet is. well honestly im not relly sure what they are but they are fun ive only listened to their one album and it wasn't the best but it doesnt need to be. theyre so loud i need like ibuprofen if i ever listen to it full length again but the 2 songs by them i really really like are "stairway to heaven" (not a led zep cover) and "bog" (if my chem did a cover of this it would be unbelievably lifechanging).
megadeth I WILL RECCOMEND TO YOU idk if ur a metal person but uhmm give it a shot ? i dont really know how to say this in a good way so here. i think dave mustaine would really strike a note with you. in some aspects. HES FUNNY WEIRD ! and also hes really all you need yto know about them. they've switched out sm guys just keep him in mind. my fav lineup is peace sells bc chris poland was sweet looking and i just like gar samuelson for no discernable reason. they had a good ass bass player with GOOD ASS basslines but well he fucked that up! i honestly have no idea whos even in the band now. im basic w them i like rust in peace a lot and so far so good so what. they generally have a good few songs every album, enough for you to buy it but id never say theres like. an actual ass album thats like. i like every single song on it forever. SRRY LOL but i do really like his voice. song picks for them would be hook in mouth, 502, into the lungs of hell, honestly anything from rust in peace (ESP dawn patrol), peace sells title track, good mourning/black friday, n whatever else. im not the biggest fan of them but they have some good stuff. first album isnt bad either :o
KITTIE you should try rn. im fake i only listen to their first album but im working on it...lol. a bunch of 14 year old girls who met in highschool gym class and said hey lets make a band and well. it actually turned out super good. theyve also had sooooo many lineup changes idek but listen to the entirety of spit and the title track for until the end.
for a real dumb stupid emo band -> nightmare of you. i STILL ALSO havent listened to their other album but their self titled is very cute lol. theyre sooo fucking cheesy and stupid but theyre so fun. saw a pic of mikeyway with the lead singer once and also i reccomend watching their music vids bc theyre funny as FUCK. songs picks are thumbelina, my name is trouble, why am i always right?, i want to be buried in your backyard, and in the bathroom is where i want you. silly.
one of my favs ever EVANESCENCE. or at least their fallen album )are u noticing a pattern yet). i used to drive around and have that one playing on repeat like literally for weeks straight i luvv her sm. going under, whisper, tourniquet, and imaginary are the top Hits from there.
also im not sure if you want like mcr or fob hits BUT ill give them to you because i have the best ever taste are years of soul bonding with them. mcr hits -> drowning lessons, our lady of sorrows, headfirst for helos, early sunsets, best day ever, CUBICLES, helena, to the ed, not okay, interlude, fashion statement, cemetary drive, i never told you, dead, how i disappear, sharpest lives, i dont love you, famous last words, bulletproof heart, only hope for me, save yourself, SCARECROW, boy division, ambulance, heaven help us, burn bright. fob hits -> grenade jumper, patron saint of liars & fakes, sixteen candles, our lawyer made us change the name, 7 minutes in heaven, get busy living, im like a laywer, HUM HALLELUJAH, golden, after life of the party, youre crashing, ive got all this ringing in my ears, DISLOYAL ORDER, shes my winona, headfirst slide, 27, w.a.m.s and west coast smoker. srry people are about to get on my ass but i dont care very much for their stuff post hiatus. I DONT THINK ITS BAD its just not for me. i listen to it with simone all the time though it has my respect blah blah blah.
okay i hope that waz good enuf for you. have fun <3

It's 1:40 AM where I am but uh... I wrote another one. This one is pure Jelsa, with a hint of Janna because that's what happens in Hamilton.
Then I think I'll write for the songs "burn" but I don't know which one.
Either "first burn" or just "burn"
This has NOT been proofread so I apologize for the small mistakes you may find.
Boy, you got me helpless Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
Elsa was so thankful that she had met Jack! It was as if she could just look into his eyes and she'd be able to do anything. She was drowning in them. Big blue and beautiful.
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room Then you walked in, and my heart went "boom"
Elsa wasn't one to want or need spotlight. She was more of an introvert, while her sister, Anna, was more of an extrovert. The night Elsa and Jack met Anna had been talking and laughing with some if the rebels that had been defying the king. Anna had been dazzling everyone. She was practically the life of the party.
Thats when Elsa saw him. Jack Frost. It was love at first sight. He had just walked into the room, that's all, and her heart felt as if it would pop right out if her chest.
Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine Grab my sister and whisper, "Yo, this one's mine"
Elsa was nervous, she walked around the room to try to catch Jack's eye somehow. Her attempts failing when she was blocked from him by all of the dancing figures. The band was loud, almost too loud and Elsa couldn't even hear herself think.
That's when Elsa walked to her sister. "Hey Els. What's up?" Anna asked as she handed Elsa a small chocolate candy. Elsa took it and then pulled her sister to the side. "You see the guy with silver hair and blue eyes?" Elsa asked as she pointed to Jack. Anna nodded and smiled, but the smile went unnoticed to Elsa. "Yes what about him?" Anna asked turning back to her sister's desperate face. Anna's smile fell. "I feel helpless... I can't even get over there to talk to him... I just know I want to be with him," Elsa explained.
My sister made her way across the room to you (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) And I got nervous, thinking, "What's she gonna do" (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinking "I'm through" (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) Then you look back at me, and suddenly I'm helpless
Anna nodded before she made her way over to Jack. Elsa was nervous. Anna was very popular and pretty, what was she going to do? Anna touched his arm, grabbing his attention as she then talked to him about something.
Oh no... I'm through... Elsa thought. But then Jack looked back at her and smiled. He smiled. Elsa blushed.
Oh, look at those eyes, oh (look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit) I'm helpless, I know (down for the count and I'm drowning in 'em)
Just look at his eyes, I could get lost in them forever, elsa thought. She felt helpless, though not in a bad way, in fact she felt as if he would lift all her worries away.
I am so into you (Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit) I am so into you, I'm helpless (I know) I'm down for the count, and I'm drowning in 'em
Elsa was head over heels for this guy. She felt so free when he looked at her. She could drown in his eyes.
Where are you taking me? I'm about to change your life Then by all means, lead the way
"Where is it that we're going?" Jack asked curious as Anna looped her arm through his. "Dont worry. I'm about to change your life." Anna replied with a smile. "Then lead the way," Jack replied with a smirk. Anna lead him right to another young woman, platinum blonde hair And bright blue eyes.
Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you Schuyler? My sister Thank you for all your service If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it I'll leave you to it
"Elsa Arendelle, it's a pleasure to meet you," Elsa curtseyed as she saw Jack. "Arendelle?" Jack asked a bit confused. Was she one if the Arendelle sisters? "My sister," Anna replied. "Thank you for all your service," Elsa struck up a conversation. Jack smiled. "If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it," Jack replied as he held his arm out for Elsa to take. "I'll leave you to it," Anna stated. Elsa looked back at her and smiled before taking Jack's arm as the two walked.
One week later, I'm writin' a letter nightly Now my life gets better every letter that you write me Laughin' at my sister 'cause she wants to form a harem I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him (ha!)
It had only been a week, and yet Elsa was ecstatic whenever she had gotten a letter from him, it was almost everyday that they wrote one another. She felt as if her life had gotten better every time she got one of his letters.
Elsa, Anna, and Rapunzel were all in Elsa's room, reading the letters Jack had sent. Elsa giggled. "Anna! Are you trying to form a harem? He can't marry both of us!" Elsa giggled as she playfully took his letter from Anna's hand. "I'm just saying! If you really loved me you would share him Els!" Anna laughed. Elsa busted out laughing, as did Ralunzel. Anna giggled as well but her smile didn't quite reach her eyes.
Two weeks later, in the living room stressin' My father's stone-faced while you ask him for his blessin' I'm dying inside as you wine and dine And I'm tryin' not to cry, 'cause there's nothing that your mind can't do (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Two weeks. Jack had come home just today, and came straight over to Elsa's house to talk to her father. Elsa and her sisters were behind the windowed door as Jack and Agnarr Arendelle talked. Elsa paced a bit before coming back to the door, and so on and so fourth.
Muffled dialog could be heard. "Mr. Arendelle, I have come to ask elsas hand in marriage," Jack stated. Elsa and her sisters gasped. And suddenly Elsa felt like she was dying inside. What if her father said no? But then she realized that there wasn't anything Jack's mind couldn't do.
My father makes his way across the room to you (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) I panic for a second, thinking we're through (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) But then he shakes your hand and says, "Be true" (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) And you turn back to me smiling
"Elsa! Father son the move!" Whispered Rapunzel, louder than she would've liked. Elsa panicked. What if they were through and her father said no? However, Elsa did a double take when her father shook Jack's hand. From outside the door Elsa heard the two words her father spoke to him. "Be true," he stated before patting him on the back. Jack turned around and smiled, giving Elsa a thumbs up. Elsa smiled as well, hers almost reaching her ears.
I'm helpless (I'm) (Look into your eyes, and the skys the limit) I'm helpless (helpless) (Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em) (Whoo! Helpless) that boy is mine, that boy is mine Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless (helpless, whoo!) Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em (yuh)
To make Elsa laugh Jack did a small victory dance while her father's back was turned to get the two another drink. However, Jack didn't stop dancing in time and her father caught him. He chuckled as he spotted Elsa and her sisters outside the door. He looked at Jack and gestured for him to go talk to Elsa.
Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame All I have is my honor, a tolerance for pain A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
Jack walked out and spotted Elsa and her sisters. Anna and Rapunzel walked away (but still close enough to where they could eavesdrop)
"Elsa, I don't have any money, I don't have a single dollar to my name. I don't have land, or my own troop and I'm not famous. All I have is my honor, a small tolerance for pain. Some college credits and top notch brain," Jack started. Elsa couldn't hold her smile back.
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me Peggy confides in me Angelica tried to take a bite of me No stress, my love for you was never in doubt We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out
"It's insane. I love your family, they bring out a side of me I never even knew I had. Rapunzel confides in me, Anna tried to be with me One time" Elsas face turned into confusion before he continued. "Dont worry! My love for you will never be in doubt. We can get a small place in burgess and we can be together, and try out best to figure out what's right for us," he continued, elsa was smiling again.
I've been livin' without a family since I was a child My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild But I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real As long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to god you'll never feel so
"I haven't had a family since I was a kid. My father left, my mother died, my sister was shipped off to a boarding school and I grew up buckwild. But I will never forget my mother's face, and the real lessons she taught me. As long as I'm alive, elsa you will never feel so helpless," he finished before getting down on one knee.
I do, I do, I do, I do Eliza, I do, I do, I do, I do (helpless) I never felt so (helpless) Yeah, yeah Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em (I'm down for a count and I'm...)
Elsa jumped into his arms "I do I do! Yes yes yes!" She cried with joy. Jack shook up and spun her around. Elsa was looking in his eyes again. She was drowning in his eyes and in his love for her.
Yo, my live is gon' be fine 'cause Eliza's in it (helpless) I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit, I'm (helpless) Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
It was the day of their wedding. Jack wasn't nervous at all. He knew as long as Elsa was in his life, he would never feel helpless, or lost. And Elsa knew that as long as she looked into his eyes, she would never feel bad about anything ever again.
In New York, you can be a new man In New York, you can be a new man In New York, you can be a new man (helpless)
Jack stood tall, Hiccup standing by his side as his best man. The wedding March started. Elsa walked down the aisle. Her dress was white, it had small blue lace accents over it, and her veil was a pale shade of blue. Once Elsas father had given her away, the pastor had started speaking. "In New York, anyone can be a new man," he started. Elsa drowned out most of it as she got lost in Jack's eyes again. All the two heard was the pastor asking if they would say those two words that they wanted to say. "I do," Elsa smiled. "I do," Jack said as well. "You may kiss the bride," the pastor concluded. Elsa pulled Jack in as the two shared their kiss.

I guess its over now, but it couldn’t have been that bad right?! After all, I’m still here, and you all helped me through it!!
alright this is gonna be messy and im not gonna autocorrect/proofread it but heres the essay on why i loved 2020.... While 2020 was, pretty objectively, one of the worst years for modern humanity. The obvious virus and all its, various strands of natural disasters, impending war threat, gender reveal parties, you get the gist. But i would love to just... look back and see how it treated me. See how it ran :). January/Febuary/March - the months are bunched up cause the least amount of stuff happened in them, but thats not to say that the stuff wasnt... good!!!! After all I met my first online friend (that im still friends with of course) @smilez4milez..! I cannot believe you withstood me for so long tbh........... youve been here the whole time!!!! thats obviously an achievemnt!!! Our circumstances for our meeting do not matter... trust me. April - Got my gender transed and i then id’d as demigirl!! and also had a birthday, i turned a whole year..... i believe this was also the time i... started using discord??? yeah, that sounds right :0) May/June - OOOH WEE DISK HOARD AAAAAAAAA. Ahem, Miles got me into Chuck E. Cheese and the Rock-Afire Explosion, i hold those special interests dear and close to my heart. Around the time i also made friends with @teamgay0tix (<3). Miles decided that he was gonna make an animatronic discord server. Titled the Robot Zone, Miles employed Sarah, Me, and another friendo named Teddy as the moderators. Not long after i met... so so many cool and epic people... uh off the top of my head @worthape, @bahrlee, @boredwiththislifetime, @retrowormz, @knave-woods, @verae.

This month I left the Robot Zone, no matter how much it hurt, I simply didn’t want to be there anymore. I had got way too into animatronics and I was... very... very... burnt out.

ZW 2020; Reunion
Tumblr media
So it begins.... This is a Modern/Gym AU. I swore I would never do a modern AU, but, as Edna Mode would say “and yet, here we are.” My plan for this week is to make these prompts all one story. As this is my first Modern AU of any kind, on top of my first Zutara Week, please feel free to leave all sorts of feedback. I will be adding an AO3 link in an edit in the fresh morning. I’m posting this tonight, because I have way too much crap going on in the morning tomorrow. Anyway. No more intro/distraction from my crapstorm. Here it begins.
[EDIT 1: I forgot to mention-- I aged them up realtime. This means that Zuko;Sokka are 31, Katara;Azula are 29, and Toph;Aang are 27, and all the correlating ages of the other characters accordingly. EDIT 2 will be the AO3 link, I promise.]
[EDIT 2: HERE’S the AO3 - finally. I’ve been super busy all day with a screeching toddler.]
It's the smell, Katara decides. It definitely wasn't the music - she always piped in her own mix of high-tempo, hard hitting music through her headphones. It's not the taste of the crappy tap water from their generic doctor's-office-standard water fountains. It wasn't for the sights of the people who were there.
Well, most of the people that were there. There was one or two…
No, she decided. It was entirely the smell that, no matter where in the world she landed, got her moving. A blend of sweat, rubber, and disinfectant, every gym she had ever walked into had the same smell. This realization settled over her as she entered the old gym. She had recently moved back from one of the old Earth Kingdom settlements at the coast, and was now participating in a research project with Ba Sing Se University, her old alma mater. Fortune had been on her side, however, when her old gym’s membership was reciprocal back again to one in the city. 
It had been three years since she had left Ba Sing Se for Selin Harbor, fresh from the university, a master’s degree in Marine Biology in tow. Now, she had been called back due to a troubling disease emerging in the dark, mysterious waters off the coast of the city. 
She had begun her workout running intervals, hopping from treadmill to resistance training to machines, and back, forcing the stress and worry of her new work out of her mind. Falling into her rhythm, time began to slip away. As was common, during her physical exertions, she felt the outside world fall away, and a single-minded focus overtook her thoughts, caught up only in the heavy beat in her ears.
Somewhere in between a few of her runs, she stepped away from the treadmill, took a pause to swallow down some more water, and turned to the next step in her pattern. She stopped suddenly. In her next station - a gym mat stocked with medicine ball and resistance bands - a fellow gym member was actively using her set up. A moment of frustration passed through her, but she swallowed it down. Instead, she moved away, trying to preoccupy herself with her next exercise, determined to come back after his set. But as she finished up and returned, she found him still in her spot, this time in between sets. Irritation pricked at her lips, but she sucked in a deep breath and plastered her best “people are oblivious” smile across her face. Pulling her headphones down, she rounded him.
“Excuse me,” she knew her voice was sickly sweet, but she didn’t care, “I hate to be that person, but…” 
A glint of gold in his eyes shot towards her motions, in contrast with his light skin and dark hair. It was obvious that he was no stranger to the gym himself, and it took a moment for her to remember what she was going to protest. (About those sights at the gym…? She ascertained that he was one of those exceptions.) Swallowing down the startling nature of his side eye, she pulled her indignation back to the forefront. He still didn't turn to her fully, preferring to shoot her a glare sideways. 
"But," she continued resolutely, "you're kind of interrupting my intervals. I need to use this spot before--"
"I'm not interested."
"...what?" It was only then that she noticed the white at his ears- headphones. Did this prick really think she was hitting on him? Her face turned sour, her voice rising. "Now, you listen here, you--"
He sighed, and pulled out the earbud closest to her. The music was just as loud as hers, she noticed abstractly. 
"Listen, I'm not in--"
"You're in my spot!" She spat out aggressively. 
It was his turn to be confused. "What?"
"My spot. You are literally in my spot. You've interrupted my intervals, but still managed to keep my blood pressure up. Congratulations."
He looks flustered for a minute, and Katara curses the spirits. The red on his cheeks only seemed to make him more striking under the iridescent lighting. She uses that disconcerting feeling to fuel more of her frustration.
"I don't see your name on this particular spot."
A bitter laugh escaped her, and she flipped the edge of the mat up. 
"Ka-ta-ra." She emphasizes the syllables as she points them out, written in her tight hand, on the bottom of the mat he was perched upon. 
For a second time, he flustered. 
"Oh." This time, however, he quickly moved off of it, a hand to the back of his neck. "I'm- I'm sorry. Didn't realize…"
She snorted, still not done with his brand of arrogance.
"You must be pretty narcissistic," she snarls, "to think that any girl who nears you must be ‘interested’." 
"It's not- I'm not-," he stutters for a moment, before regaining his composure. “Anything I say is going to make me sound like more of an asshole, isn’t it?”
A brow raised over a sea-blue eye, and he sighed. 
“Sorry. I didn’t realize you were here. I just figured somebody left the equipment after they were done.”
Her frustration fizzled a little under his apology. 
“Oh. Yeah, I guess I could see how you would think that.” Her eyes scanned the free weight area, strewn with discarded equipment like dirty tissues. 
Sighing, she deflated. Blue eyes looked up at him, finally catching a honest look at the man she was unexpectedly not as frustrated with. His dark hair was cut relatively close, seemingly unaware of any attempt to tame it’s aggressive angles. Amber eyes followed her motions, one of them wrapped in an old, angry scar that ran back into his sideburn, hairline, finishing on the other side of his ear. Dressed for the gym, she was able to appreciate his evident focus on lean versus bulk. And appreciate, she did. She dropped her eyes again, reminding herself of his protest when she first approached him. Jet had been enough of a narcissistic asshole for her lifetime. She didn’t need a new one. 
But he had apologized and did seem properly chastised. Looking around, she noticed that there was no other open spaces for him to work in.
“Listen, I don’t mind you using it. Just- just let me run my sets? Not, like, sit here in between them?”
“Really?” a small smile pulled at one corner of his lips. He seemed genuinely surprised. “Thanks.”
She waved it off, keeping her head down, as she took over the space, and he moved on to another machine.
An hour later, she wrapped up her mat, replaced the equipment, and moved towards the door. He was on the treadmill near the door, and as she passed him, she nodded. A small smile pulled at his lips and he returned the expression. 
Buzzing filled her pocket, and she glanced at her phone. 
Toph.
“Hey, Sugar Queen, we still on for tonight?”
***
He was a bit breathless. It was hard to tell if it was from having been sick for the week prior and thereby out of practice, or if it was the brilliant blue eyes of the woman slipping out the door. She had nodded at him, and a glimmer of hope clung to him. Maybe he hadn’t completely screwed up that interaction.
“Yeah, we are. I’m excited! We going to meet at--?” her voice was clear, since he had kept one earbud out since they had first crossed paths. Incredulousness laced her words. “You’re picking me up? I’m hoping you’re not the one driving…”
Her voice faded away, and he couldn’t help the smile that stayed on his face, even as he replaced the second earbud and continued his workout.
***
“So where is it we’re heading?” Katara glanced at her passenger in the front seat, but the young woman’s eyes were unfocused and hazy as she stared blankly ahead. When she spoke, however, her tone belied her strength. 
“I already told you, Kat-uh.” Her emphasis merely snapped the blue-eyed girl’s dark brows together, but she continued. “It’s an old friend of mine- he’s playing at some small bar. The one we used to go to on Thursdays when we were all in college together.” 
“I’m guessing he’s a new addition to the line up?”
“Nah.” A smirk pulled at her lips. “I just never found a reason to go see him before.”
“Thats… sweet, Toph.”
“I know. So considerate, right?”
A sigh escaped the older woman’s lips. “At least tell me if it’s on the milder scale for your music?”
Toph wasn’t known for having the most laid back choices in music. Her worries were slightly alleviated when the blind girl scoffed loudly.
“No, he’s more your speed. Likes some of the heavier music, though, but only plays the nicer stuff.”
“So, covers?”
Her head cocked to the side. “Maybe one or two. From what I hear, his original music is actually starting to get popular.”
As she pulled into the parking lot, Katara bit back a groan. Had it always been this busy? She found herself asking Toph that. For the asking, all she received was a head shake back. 
“Nah, but we also came on Thursdays. Fridays are a whole other beast. And besides, I told you he’s getting more popular.”
Suddenly regretting her decision to come out that night, Katara turned the car off, but only started to move to get out of it when she spotted Sokka and Suki waving frantically after her. They had arrived earlier, and together. As she reached them, Katara sighed, and Sokka wrapped the arm he didn’t have around his girlfriend, to pull his baby sister closer.
“You’ll have fun, Katuh. I know it’s stupid busy, but it’s going to be fun. Just, ya know, relax. Have a drink. Listen to decent music.”
As the doors slipped open, her eyes suddenly grew wide as she instantly recognized the chords. Katara slipped away from her brother’s arm. The words to the songs were already on her lips, and she was surprised to find that she knew this band. She wasn’t one to obsess over the musicians, but their music was a whole other thing. They were an indie band, unknown, unrecognized, so she had never expected to come across them live. Despite her desire to bob and weave to see and get closer to the stage, it seemed like the crowd pushed in on them more, and she was impeded. A shot of disappointment shot through her as the music died off, and the drummer announced a break. Turning back to her friends, she dejectedly joined them. 
“Oh Katara, don’t get so down.” Toph smirked, propping her dirty sandals up onto the table. “You know that was their first set. Besides, the lead singer is coming this way as we speak.”
Blue eyes rolled hard into her skull, and she let out a scoff. “Toph, you know I don’t care about the musicians. I just love their music.”
“Uh-huh. Well, we’ll test that theory right now. He’s headed this way”
“Your friend?” Sokka asked.
Toph nodded in response.
Katara turned in time to see a dark head dip and weave through the crowd, along with flashes of a dark button up, sleeves rolled up, and fitted jeans. However, when he finally slipped out of the crowd to join them at the high top they had claimed, it took all of her willpower to bite back the laugh that threatened to escape.
“Hey Toph.” His voice had an interesting grate, she had to admit, but she wasn’t sure she was quite over the way they had been introduced before. But if that was anywhere on his mind at the moment, he was good at not showing it. Instead, he followed the line of their friends as Toph introduced them. When it wrapped around to her, the closest to them both, she found herself sitting straight. 
“And this is Ka--”
“We’ve actually already met.”
A cocked head told her of confusion, and his eyes scanned her for a moment. Something like a glimmer of recognition started to blossom in the gold of his eyes. With a motion that was more abrupt, she gathered up her loose curls and pulled them back, as if to put them up into a ponytail. His eyes widened. It was impressive the difference a hairstyle could have on recognition.
“Oh. Yeah. Hey again. It was… Katara, was it?”
“You never did give me your name, you know.”

Dragons and Fireflies
Waitttt! If you havent read the previous chapters I wouldnt advise reading this. Here's the link for the rest of the chapters if you need to go back. https://my.w.tt/gYNayRx9rcb
Since the ones on my tumblr...are forever lost now😔 Anyway those who read it please enjoy!
Chapter 7: Buried Memories
"Juvia is so sorry, Anna~sama. She never thought things would turn out so...complicated."
All Anna could do was carress her temples in order to calm herself down. After all she was getting older, and she couldn't let such things stress her out anymore. Unless she wanted an early grave dug of course.
" It's quite alright Juvia. It isnt as big of a deal as it seems."
Juvia couldnt help but breathe a sigh of relief at her reassuring comment. She would never forgive herself if she ever endangered the bands success with her selfishness.
"Oh thank goodness-"
"If you clean up the mess you made."
Juvia's heart stopped as she held her breath. As she took in her words silently, a million questions popped into her head. That she was too afraid to hear the answer to. What on earth did she mean by that? And the bigger question was how could she possibly even fix this mess? Anna's eyes softened as she met Juvia's worried ones.
"We need to figure out how the public would take this whole misunderstanding first and then address the situation publicly. Thats the smartest thing to do at this moment. Until then I will discuss the predicament with the Dragonflies manager."
As Juvia listened for the click of her door, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She had known when she had seen the photo in the paper, things would get bad. But she never thought this bad. And now the world was convinced Gray Fullbuster from the popular band 'Dragonflies' was her secret lover.
It was even worse they were competitors, both fighting for the top spot of best band. Why did she do it? Get involved with Gray Fullbuster? Her reasons were something personal to her, close to her heart that was from the past that she so desired to forget. It wasnt his looks or anything, although she couldnt deny his attractiveness.
She knew the rumors were true, after all she had seen for her own eyes the damage he could do to a woman. And she wouldnt be one of those who was affected by his charms. She refused to. She was the one who was going to teach him how women were to be treated, and not as playthings.
She was going to do it...for her. But she messed things up because of her anger, and now look at what happened. Her head was pounding with past emotions steadily creeping back from their place pushed deep down in her heart. It made her clench her fists in irritation and helplessness. Maybe she hadnt changed from all those years ago. The nightmares also flooded back to her, making her freeze in her own body. She shook in frustration with herself.
Did she even change at all? No, she wasnt that naive girl from years ago anymore, and she would never be again. Too much had happened for that. She never thought this would go so far, and affect her friends though. Her bandmates meant the world to her, and she would never hurt them purposely. After all, they saved her from her wretched life, after she had fallen so deep into despair. Gajeel...
She felt tears well up in her eyes before she couldnt help but scowl at her emotions getting the best of her once again. She chuckled dryly. She never was one for hiding her emotions, and her faces always told the world how she felt. She despised that with her entire being.
Although with Gray, it was easy to hide them, and she doubted he cared about them anyway. Thats why he was so easy to manipulate at the time. Its not like Juvia wasnt worried about her image at all. In fact it was probably tainted just by even being seen with that womanizer.
Her image in the band was supposed to be the innocent but sexy one, and men went crazy over it. Her merchandise being the most bought out in stores. She remembered when Lucy made a fuss about it, chastising Anna of giving her the wrong image for the band
And Juvia couldn't help but muffle her laughs with her hand in the background.
Her heart warmed at the memory and it made her clutch at her heart thinking of losing that small happiness. They were just taking off and already making merchandise, because Anna was sure that they would become a success fast. Juvia couldnt help but wonder that maybe Anna had made the wrong choice letting her into Fireflies.
"Juvia? Juvia! I have been calling your name for 5 minutes now!" She jumped at the sudden noise and swung her head up. She thought she had locked the door.
"Ahh Levy-san. What do you need?" Juvia asked exasperated.
She tried to wipe her stray tears quickly, turning her face in embarrassment. She hadn't even noticed she had cried. Levy did nothing but stare at her for a minute, before walking over and plopping down on the couch right beside her.
" You know, the girls are really not upset or anything. If thats what...you're crying about?"
Juvia looked into her cocoa irises and Levy met hers. They were full of worry.
"Honestly Juvia is fine. She just...regrets causing you guys so much trouble." Juvia tried to put on a smile but it came out as an obvious grimace.
"You really didnt. After all anyone who doesnt know that females have sexual needs too, know now."
"Huh???"
"Sexual needs? I read it in a reproduction book too. Apparently women have the most urge for it during pregnancy. Wait could this be-"
"Oh nooo Levy-san, this incident has nothing to do with...that."
"Oh. So not at all? You didnt...do anything?"
"Heavens no. Im not that kind of girl." Juvia gave her a reassuring smile, while Levy wiped her brow in relief.
"Cana lost 50 bucks today." She smiled staring a little too hard at her lap.
" What do you mean Levy-san?" She was beginning to feel suspicious.
"Well umm..."
"Levy..."
" Alright, alright! The girls made a bet about if you slept with Gray or not. Of course I bet that you didnt, but Cana got into my head and made me think things...something about girls needing devouring too. So I read up on it and..."
Juvia stared in disbelief as Levy squirmed under her gaze. A giggled echoed throughout the room, making Levy jump in surprise.
" Of course she did! Cana-san is always talking about things like that."
When Levy saw the laughter wasnt of anger or irritation, she laughed along too.
" Yeah, and Lucy chastised her for even thinking of you being so careless. She said' Juvia would only do dirty things like that when she's married.' "Levy took a breath before she continued.
" And then Cana said 'Listen hunny, if you have a good sex life, all the worries go away. Thats why I have no gray hair yet and ole Lucy does.' "Levy couldnt help but chuckle at her own impersonation of Cana.
Juvia laughed at her words. She wished she would have been there to hear the rest but she had been stuck in her room, hiding for at least two days. Levy placed a small pale hand on hers.
" Dont hide from us, ok Juvia? We miss you." She then gave her a tight squeeze, wrapping her arms around Juvia's whole body.
Juvia sat there, stiff as a board but she hugged her back silently. She allowed some tears to slip down now. After all this was a special moment. She had forgotten her friends were such kind souls, and they would be accepting of just about everyone. That didnt mean Juvia could just accept herself whole-heartedly though.
She would always be dirty in her own eyes. As she waved goodbye to Levy and she heard the click of her door, she laid back and stared at the white of her ceiling. What did Anna mean 'clean up her mess'? And what would that entail?

— one more time. | bakugou katsuki.
Tumblr media
Popular! Bakugou Katsuki X Gender Neutral! Singer! Reader.
(High School AU!)
Summary : you and bakugou get paired up for a music project and Bakugou chose you to sing. Content : fluff, one shot Warnings : cursing so from the top it says high school au cause like I honestly don’t know if like UA would actually do music projects?-- but yeah, all characters will still be here it just won’t be a top hero school so :). I also apologize if bakugou is like ooc-- I’m still not used to writing his character so forgive me! first story with our lovely kacchan so I hope you enjoy like always!! (✿ヘᴥヘ)
Tumblr media
Being a singer had a lot of pro’s and con’s which is why you decided that you would be part of a band but in one condition-- you had to cover your face whenever you had to perform live. Why? you were just too embarrassed to show your face and you didn’t have the confidence yet. However being undercover as a singer was a bit harder than you thought. You see, you decided to act like your usual self, thinking nobody would actually hate you or anything as you have always acted like this but you were so wrong.
As you walked over to class 1-A, you felt as if someone was glaring at you or looking at you from the back of your head so you being curious-- decided to look back only to find the person you feared the most. Bakugou Katsuki. You didn’t hate him or anything, it was him who hated you, you didn’t know why and you wanted to ask but he just seemed to hold such hatred for you that-- you just couldn’t. “Get out of the way, you damn nerd.” Bakugou growled, making you jump slightly, you still haven’t gotten used to his well.. Rough voice so you always jump whenever he growled at you. “Oh! I’m um.. Sorry.. I’ll get out of your way.” You stuttered out, walking over to the side to give some way for him, sighing softly as you continued to wonder why he hated you. Facing the door of your classroom, you inhaled before exhaling as you opened the door to your classroom, seeing everyone chatting happily, you closed the door before walking to your seat. Putting all your stuff on your desk, you sat down on your chair, closing your eyes before a notebook was slapped onto your face. “Oi, nerd. stop fucking daydreaming and check my homework.” Bakugou said, eyes rolling as he saw the look on your face. “Um.. okay?” You asked, rubbing your face as you still felt the pain from the notebook. You opened the notebook to find messy hand writing, you rolled your eyes at this before turning the page to his homework. You weren’t excatly smart and you didn’t even know why Bakugou chose you to do his homework when there were so many smarter people than you. “Hurry up already, damn.” Bakugou says, clicking his tongue in impatience. You sigh before getting to work with his homework. “Here, I don’t know if the answers are correct since I’m not even that smart but whatever.” You said, handing him his homework as Bakugou responds with a ‘tch’. “If I get a zero on this, I’m gonna blame you!” Bakugou yells, making some heads turn as your cheeks turn rosy. You nodded quickly before looking down in embarrassment making Bakugou smirk. “Heh. That’s what I like to see, damn nerd.” Bakugou mutters, turning around as you were left there confused at his words and embarrassed at his actions.
──────
Classes were going on and the teacher-- was explaining on and on about music, it actually made you a bit sleepy. Sighing softly as you looked down at your desk before closing your eyes to just relax or so. “So there will be a project which involves two people. The first person will have to play an instrument while the second person will have to sing a song. The choice is up to you on who gets sing and who gets to play.” The teacher says, making your eyes immediately go wide. As a singer, you loved singing but a project that involved singing? with everyone seeing your face? that was just a huge no no!  You internally panicked before realizing-- ‘wait.. You can pick anyways!’ You thought, sighing softly in relief. The person would probably understand anyways, right? “Unfortunately, I’m gonna be the one to pick out your partners as I want everybody to get along and all that. Plus this is a good time for an interaction!” The teacher says, smiling happily while everyone including you, groaned. “So.. I already have the names here, so I’ll start!” The teacher says while you began to pray it was a close friend of yours. Great, thats just fucking great. Everyone was already paired except for you and the person you didn’t even want to be paired with. “The final pair is.. Bakugou and y/n! Please go to your partners and discuss the details. The deadline is next week!” The teacher says before grabbing her things and leaving the classroom. Bakugou turned around, his bright red eyes meeting your nervous one’s. “You’re singing and I’m gonna play the guitar. Got it nerd?” Bakugou said before turning back to face the board. You immediately panicked, tapping on his shoulder quickly-- you did not want this to happen. No way. “The hell do you want?” Bakugou snarled, turning back around to glare at you. “I-- Can’t it be y-you who sings?” You stuttered out, still panicking which made Bakugou raise his brow, slightly curious as to why you were panicking. “You’re doing it and thats final. Practice is at my house later.” Bakugou says, turning around so you wouldn’t see his slightly rosy cheeks. ��I-I.. Fine..” You managed to stutter out, panicking even more, realizing that you were probably gonna sing. In front of Bakugou. You sighed, hoping that something magical would happen or just something! but fortunately, nothing happened.
──────
The teacher finally dismissed you-- making you sigh in nervousness as you realized you had to walk home with someone who hated you to death. Fixing up your things before standing up from your desk, feeling someone tap your shoulder rather harshly-- making you look up. “Let’s go. Hurry up you damn extra.” Bakugou says, exiting the classroom with you following him. Walking outside of the school with Bakugou was-- painfully awkward as everything was dead silent. None of you guys talked until you decided to pull out the question you’ve been longing to ask for. “Why do you hate me?” “Huh?” Bakugou asks, his head turning to face you. “Why do you hate me? I’m just curious.” You asked, tilting your head as you stared at him with curious eyes. Bakugou felt his cheeks redden, looking away from your gaze before muttering something under his breath. Your head tilted more as you couldn’t understand what he said. “What was that?” You asked, curiousity laced in your tone. “I said I don’t hate you, dumbass.” Bakugou says before stopping in front of a door-- which was his house. Before you could ask him any more questions, Bakugou opened the door before pushing you a little to harsh. “My parents are out so just go to the living room. I’ll get some snacks.” Bakugou says, rolling his eyes at you. You shrugged ‘maybe it won’t be so bad as I thought?’ You thought silently, walking over to the living room and plopping yourself down to the couch. It was surprisingly comfy and cozy in his house, you sighed happily as you closed your eyes to relaxed. A bag of chips was thrown to your head making you groan loudly as you slightly narrowed your eyes at Bakugou making him smirk. “Don’t just fucking relax dumbass. We gotta practice, now what song?” Bakugou asked, sitting down beside you as he got his guitar ready. It madw you slightly shocked that he even knew how to play the guitar-- you thought he’d break it or something. Honestly, you were still panicking but for some reason, you felt more relaxed. Maybe its cause Bakugou admitted that he didn’t hate you? you really didn’t know but you just blurted out the first song that came to your head. “Best part by her.” You said, humming softly as you remember the lyrics. That was your favorite song and you just loved singing it. “Alright now lets start so I don’t have to see your face already, nerd.” Bakugou says, making himself comfortable as he positioned his guitar. You inhaled softly before readying your voice-- Bakugou looks at you or more like, glares at you before you nod, signaling that you were ready. Bakugou then starts to play out the guitar as you start to sing.
You don’t know babe.
When you hold me~
You kiss me slowly,
its the sweetest thing~
Singing softly as you smiled, you just loved singing so much that whenever you sang, you always smiled. Bakugou stared at you wide eyed, still playing the guitar as he heard your voice-- your voice sounded so familiar, it sounded like-- the lead singer of his favorite group, the lead singer was always hidden so
could it be you?
I Just Wanna See..
I just wanna see how beautiful you are,
you know that i see it.
I know you’re a star
Where you go I follow
No matter how far..
Bakugou still stared at you, wide eyed as he figured it out. You were the lead singer of his favorite band and that thought made Bakugou happy? he didn’t know why. If he were to be honest, he did find you cute as well as your personality but he just didn’t know how to express those feelings so if you were the lead singer, that made Bakugou want to keep you? He didn’t even know how to describe his feelings.
If life is a movie
Oh, you’re the best part, oh~
Finally finishing the song, you looked at Bakugou, who was now staring at you with wide eyes and slightly rosy cheeks. You giggled at this as you knew he had found out but you already knew this would happen so you weren’t excatly shocked. Bakugou snapped out of his thoughts once he heard your giggle, glaring at you with rosy cheeks as he said that one sentence that made your heart beat faster.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing dumbass? sing for me
one more time.”
──────

do you have any music recs o.O
AAAAAA another late response but yes i do !! first of all ->
velvet goldmine soundtrack - obviously you should watch the movie first BUT its a very nice intro to all things glam....i love roxy & t rex in particular, slowly working on getting into the new york dolls :0) 
high powered explosive - ok im biased i know this is my own killjoys playlist. BUT it has a lot of the influences for danger days and a lot of my own personal musical stylings that u might enjoy....the vast majority of it is punk/classic/glam/alt rock with a few funky pop songs thrown in for fun! i update it fairly often (adding/removing songs, messing with the order, etc) so check back every couple weeks <3 ... also its meant to sort of follow the album’s story but i got sick of listening to dd/cw bc thats all spotify would play so i took most of those out JHFSDKJFHSDFJS
mychem newbie version - ideal for getting ur pop/indie friend into mychem, it has a lot of the softer songs + some of the greatest hits <3 
placebo intro playlist - placebo’s greatest hits + most epic covers + some of my personal faves.....their music is a lot more diverse than this but i tried to keep it to similar-ish energies and more popular songs bc those r easier to get into! i highly recommend em AND brian molko + stefan olsdal r openly bi & gay respectively. 
transvision vamp intro playlist - if u like joan jett, blondie, & the bangles u will love transvision vamp i promise....umm wendy james is really pretty <3 hiiiiiiii. anyways!!! theyre a smaller punk-y pop group that was around in the late 80s/early 90s and they just have rly good vibes idk what to say!!!!
jobriath intro playlist - ok i did find it genuinely interesting that theres not a jobriath song on the vg soundtrack unless im TOTALLY misremembering something? ANYWAYS he was the first openly gay rockstar and he sings a lot abt like.....space n stuff. a lot of ppl say hes a bowie ripoff but i do think a lot of his stuff is a little bit more on the psychedelic side, anyways i digress but his story was very tragic and i cried after reading his wikipedia page :( 
recs that aren’t playlists: misfits, smashing pumpkins, t rex, joan jett and the blackhearts, the runaways, r.e.m., roxy music, dead kennedys, the clash, blue oyster cult, dio, black sabbath, cheap trick, smashing pumpkins, nirvana, pearl jam, heart, bad religion, social distortion, operation ivy, x ray spex, the troggs, the stooges, cake, cyndi lauper, ramones, sweet, creedence clearwater revival, eagles, johnny cash, dolly parton, green day, styx, the damned, against me!, talking heads....
umm i think thats all i can remember off the top of my head lol. none of them are super small artists or very new recs but i havent had a lot of time to really explore genres past very surface level due to . time constraints and mental illness but i hope you can find at least one cool band in there!!! i love you and thank you for asking <3
uhhhmm also last general disclaimer. i’m aware that some of these artists aren’t great people but theyre either dead / idk what’s happened / their financial gain from spotify is insignificant and/or i pirate their stuff. if i’ve linked an intro playlist about them, i havent been able to find anything bad or shady that they’ve done.....cannot vouch for anyone else tho & i am always open to being informed of stuff.

Coverup : Soulmate!AU C.H
Tumblr media
summary: Soulmates have the same matching mark/tattoo at birth. Calum has a mark and doesn’t believe in love, angst ensues 
word count: 3k
warnings: angsty slow burn stuff
special thank you to @notoriouslyhood for letting me bounce this idea off of her
---------------------------
when Calum was born, the doctors and nurses in the delivery room marvelled over the small, perfect black mark on his skin.
only half the population was lucky enough to be bestowed a mark that could identify them to their soulmate who would, in turn, have the exact same mark. 
growing up was difficult for Cal. other children always wanted to look at the beautiful design on his bicep. From an early age he always found himself looking for the same mark. it was exhausting. 
and he never found it.
he watched as the lucky few found their matching mark in another. watched the smiles and the laughter, the instant connection.
he began to hate his tattoo. opting to cover it but the hot summers in Australia made that near impossible.
Calum was 15 when he had his first love. 
his first i love you left his mouth like the most natural thing in the world and the girl reciprocated. but every time she looked at his arm her smile would falter. she broke his heart a year later, he wasn't hers. no matter how much Cal had pleaded and told her that his mark didn’t matter, she refused to stay.
Calum joined a band and distracted himself with music which generally worked, until his band began to gain popularity and he realized what being famous and having a mark would mean.
he’d heard of musicians who were openly marked. heard of the crazy fans getting the same tattoo and convincing the celebrity that they were soulmates.
Calum had lost his trust in love and in people the day the girl who promised the mark didn’t matter left and all her words became lies.
He got his first tattoo a short time later in the hopes that if he decorated himself, it would be less obvious which mark was the original soulmate tattoo.
he fell in love with the needle and would spend hours looking at different designs. meaningful designs to remind him of the true love in his life, his family.
and then he came across a piece that reminded him of his roots. a Native Headdress. 
walking into the tattoo parlour, Calum explained to the artists: “i got this tattoo a while ago and i really hate it and want is covered, do you mind putting this on top of it? would it work?”
the artist agreed and a few hours later the small star mark that had always been on his arm was gone, replaced by a beautiful piece that Calum already adored.
and life for Cal continued.
he no longer found himself looking at other peoples arms and for most of the time, Calum could forget that somewhere in the world was his soulmate.
he tried not to think about it. 
and in some ways he harboured resentment against them too. 
but he also tried not to think about that.
only a select few knew Cal’s secret and Cal preferred it that way.
his band got bigger. and bigger. and bigger.
he distracted himself with a new girl in every city, skin unblemished by the mark that had haunted Calum for years. he enjoyed the simplicity. the freedom.
Calum met you at a bonfire party in LA. wrapped in a hoodie you were the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen. he talked with you while people danced around, drunk on life and being young and rich and famous.
sitting next to you in the sand and talking until everyone else had either fallen asleep in the sand or gone home. the sun rose and you stood to leave, Cal standing to offer you a ride. “i’d rather walk.” you responded, giving him a hug, “i’ll see you around Calum.” and then you walked down the beach, Calum watching you disappear.
weeks passed with you constantly on his mind. it was the most connection he’d had in... well... ever. But Cal refused to think it was anything more than sexual attraction and friendly interaction. after all, he didn’t believe in love.
a month later he was at a party and felt the need to grab a smoke. going outside he was shocked to find you sitting there, once more wrapped in a hoodie. you grinned when he approached, “fancy seeing you here.”
“could say the same to you.” he smiled, sitting on the lawn chair next to you, “what are you doing out here?”
“just needed some air.” you answer, watching him take out a cigaret and put it between his lips, switching on his lighter.
“this doesn’t bother you does it?” he asked, stopping.
“as long as you don’t blow it my way.” you answer.
Calum chucked, taking a long drag and blowing it the other way before turning back to look at you. you looked so cute in the oversized hoodie.
he tore his eyes from you, “so uh... JFK an inside job huh?”
and just like that the two of you began a discussion that lasted well into the early morning, covering all sorts of conspiracy theories. Calum found himself laughing more than he had in ages.
once again the two of you watched the sun rise and like a princess leaving at morning light you stood again, “i should get going.”
“let me grab your number.” he suggested, “or i could just cross my fingers and hope to bump into you at the next party.”
you laugh and give him your number, “catch you later Cal.”
and like that, you were gone again, prompting Cal to whip out another cigarette, that always seemed to help him think.
girls were always just sex. they could never be anything more because they would always leave. they’d find out about Calum’s original mark, unless he lied the entire relationship, and then, just like the first girl he’d ever loved, they would leave.
and his real soulmate? well where the fuck was she. Cal knew that the mark wasn't her fault, i mean she couldn’t just choose to not be born but part of him blamed her. no matter how unmerited the feeling of distain and resentment was, Cal couldn’t shake it.
a week later, Cal was invited to a party and messaged you to see if you were going. you say you are and agree to meet outside at around 10.
you were so perfectly situated when he finally got outside. sitting all cuddly on a deck chair, wrapped in the same hoodie Cal always saw you in, smiling at his approach. 
after a bit of back and forth you let out a sigh, “Cal i need to tell you something.”
“okay?” he laughed, already on edge from your tone.
“whatever this is... it can’t happen. i’m marked.” you explain, “and i’m waiting for whoever he is.”
“thats okay.” he answered, “i’m marked too.”
“have you found her yet?” you asked, “i mean you haven’t mentioned-”
“no. and i don’t want to.”
“what? why?” you laughed, “thats crazy!”
Calum shrugged, “just don’t really believe in the whole thing.”
“you can’t just not believe in it. you had a mark at birth!” you pointed out. 
Calum shrugged again, “my mark never brought me anything but trouble.”
“well, i’m sure that won’t be the case when you finally find her Cal.” you smiled, “she’s out there.”
“i like being alone. i’m on the road a lot.” he answered, “don’t have time for a distraction.”
“a distraction? did you seriously just call your future soulmate a distraction? wow i feel so bad for the girl.” you teased. 
“she would be a distraction!” Calum grinned.
“yeah whatever, you’re heartless.” you rolled your eyes, “hey, wanna see my mark? everyone always asks but you havent.”
“thats because i have a mark so i know how annoying it is to be asked constantly.” Calum shrugged.
“makes sense. i’m sure you’ll see it soon. it’s getting warmer. i can’t keep wearing this hoodie forever.”
“it’s a nice hoodie.”
the night continued and for a third time, you talked until the sun came up.
it almost made it easier knowing that you were marked. taken. spoken for.
and you knew what it was like to keep yourself secluded. at a distance.
it was different. Cal kept people at a distance because he hated his soulmate. you kept people at a distance because even though you had never met your soulmate, you loved him.
Cal didn’t understand it. but he respected it.
a week later Ash decided to through a big party celebrating the completion of their new album. Cal messaged you right away. he was already depending on you as a party buddy and he kind of liked that. he needed more friends. or at least, more female friends.
and you were safe. because of the mark.
of course you agreed to go. 
“so whens she coming?” Ashton asked the day of the party as Cal helped him set up.
“i dunno.” Cal answered, “she’ll be here.”
“so she’s just a friend?” Luke asked, already sipping on a beer.
“yeah she’s marked. saving herself for her soulmate that sort of thing.” Cal answered absentmindedly.
“so you actually like her?” Michael grinned, “that’s new.”
“you guy don’t know what it’s like to be marked. she does. its easy with her.” Cal shrugged.
“i think it’s a good thing. can’t wait to meet her.” Ashton grinned.
you arrived an hour into the party, Calum grinning at you as he opened the door to let you in. “you staying inside for a bit or are you going straight to the back to find a lawn chair?” Calum teased.
“i think i’ll stay inside for a bit.” you laugh.
“let me take your jacket.” Cal suggested.
“thanks.” you say, pulling the hoodie over your head and handing it to him to hang up. once it was put away he turned to look at you, eyes landing on your bicep. you noticed his gaze and grinned, “oh yeah! here’s the mark! people always say it kind of looks like a small star.”
his mouth was dry as his eyes stayed fixed on your arm. he hadn’t seen that mark in years. not since he got his own covered up. he’d almost forgotten what it looked like but there it was, clear as day. 
he could hear the blood pumping through his body. 
“Calum?” your voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
“i guess it kind of looks like a star.” he agreed, “i want you to meet my friends, let me go grab them.”
he turned and left in a hurry and you looked around.
Calum found Ashton and Luke in the kitchen, “Y/N’s here and you two have to meet her but you can’t bring up her mark.”
“what why?” Luke asked.
“because it’s a small star.” Calum stated.
both of their eyes widened as they realized what that meant. “she’s your soulmate!” Ashton whisper screamed.
“did you tell her?” Luke asked.
“no and i’m not going to.” Cal answered.
Ashton opened his mouth to say something when his eyes landed on you entering the kitchen, “you must be Y/N!” he grinned, pulling you into a hug.
“and you’re Ashton and Luke?” you asked.
“that would be us.” Luke grinned, hugging you, “nice mark.”
“thanks.” you smiled.
“have you found the lucky man yet?” Luke asked, looking at you over the rim of his cup.
“nope. but i’m sure he’ll find me when the time is right. sorry, i’m kind of sappy about it, i’m a bit of a romantic.” you grinned, hiding your face with your hands.
Cal felt a twinge of guilt in his chest and frowned, “what if he’s an asshole?”
“have you ever heard about two soulmates and ones an asshole?” you laughed.
“she’s got you there mate.” Ashton laughed.
“i just think... Soulmates are kinda rare and they always work. always. and i’m hopeful, even if you aren’t Cal. i can be hopeful for both of us and when you find yours i’ll be there for you to admit she’s not just a distraction.” you grinned, poking him, “hey what’s your mark look like?”
“its on his ass.” Ashton said before Cal could make an excuse himself. 
“oh, so i guess i don’t want to see that.” you laughed.
“Cal when do you think you’ll find your soulmate?” Luke asked.
“i’m not looking.” Calum answered, grabbing a beer, “Y/N there’s a super nice pool chair outside with your name on it.”
“you sure know your way into my heart.” you teased, “nice meeting you guys.” you said before following Calum outside.
“are you sure you’ll find him? your soulmate?” Calum asked.
“i know i will. it’s fate. thats how this works.” you answered.
“and you’re sure it will work out?”
“Look Cal, if you’re worried about finding your soulmate i get it. i do. but you have to have more hope dude, she’s out there, i know it.” you smiled, nudging him gently.
once more, the guilt made Cal’s chest hurt.
this night was not like the others.
the conversation wasn't easy. Cal kept finding himself distracted. he was conflicted but he tried not to show it.
so he’d distract himself by looking at you. and that made it worse of course.
Ashton watched most of the night and he could see Calum floundering so he jumped in to talk to you as well. and so became that dynamic. 
Calum needed to be near you but he was conflicted, Ashton would act as a crutch. he would be there until Calum could walk on his own and tell you the truth and Ashton was okay with that.
the three of you were together at Calum’s place a few weeks later, Calum was cooking while you and Ash talked about them being a band. “i can’t believe you two have known each other for so long.” you smile, “i bet you guys were such cute kids.”
“i have pictures!” Ashton grinned, whipping out his phone. he opened a folder and clicked on an old picture of him and Calum in his basement, showing it to you. 
your eyes scanned the phone, “oh.” 
the sound left your mouth and Ashton frowned, “what is it?” 
“is that...” you zoomed in on the photo, “on Calum’s arm... I... uh...” 
Ashton’s heart sunk in his chest. he never really worried about the mark because he didn’t have one. 
“oh that?” Ashton asked, taking the phone back, “Calum used to love drawing all over himself-”
“Ashton please.” you said, looking into his eyes then at Calum through the window who was cooking in the kitchen, “that mark on his arm looks like mine.”
“you really have to talk to Calum.” Ashton answered with a sigh.
you stood, walking into the house and closing the door behind you. Calum grinned, “hey, food’s almost done.”
you walked past him, turning the stove off, “what are you-” Calum began but you cut him off, “shush.”
you grabbed his arm, looking at the beautiful headdress tattoo on his arm, you could barely see it but the original mark was still slightly visible. 
the small star.
“Y/N-” Calum began.
“why did you lie?” you asked, letting go of his arm, “you know how much this means to me.”
“i was scared.” Calum answers.
and you’re kind of shook because it’s a real and raw answer. 
“i never believed in the whole thing.” Calum sighed, “you know that. i told you how i felt about it. when i saw your arm at the party... i dont know... i got scared.”
you looked into his eyes, at the guilt. you wanted to be mad. you did. but you understood. ‘maybe this is the whole soulmate thing’ you realized. because looking at Cal mad all of those negative feelings disappeared.
and he could see your expression soften, “i’m really sorry, i get it if you’re mad.”
“im not. i should be. but i’m not.” you cut him off, “i understand Cal. and i get it if you don’t love me right away-”
he grabbed your face before you could finish your sentence, lips pressing against yours. you melted. the way he kissed you felt right. it felt complete. it felt like nothing you’d ever experienced in your entire life. 
when Calum pulled away, the dazed look in his eyes told you he felt the same.
“i’m really sorry. i want to make it up to you.” Calum sighed, pressing his forehead against yours.
“you just did.”
he grinned, “i haven’t believed in love in years. and you came around and part of me knew it before i even saw your mark. part of me always knew. and i do love you. it scares the shit out of me. but i do. i’m not used to being vulnerable-”
“i would never hurt you Cal.” you whispered.
“i know. i’m worried i’ll hurt you.” he sighed.
“you won’t. Cal. you just lied to me for like a month and i’m fine.” you laughed, “i mean, don’t go doing stuff you know will make me upset to see if this whole soulmate thing actually sticks because if you do that i will kick your ass.”
you both laughed as his fingers brushed against your face, “i won’t lie to you again.”
“i know.” you paused, “i can’t believe you covered your mark, i always thought the little star looked cute-”
“it looks cute on you.” Calum grinned, fingers moving down to trace the mark.
you smiled up at him, “so are you going to change my contact name on your phone to ‘distraction’ now or what?”

“Hello Miss Sunshine looks like we did it again,” you look up and see that Naeun is wearing yellow as well. “Great minds think alike don’t you think?”  
“You okay?” Naeun pulls a chair and sits across from you. “Thinking of Junmyeon?”
“Hey, I don’t think about him 24/7 …” you scratched your head. “I’m just thinking about him now.”
“Didn’t you just see him this morning? And slept with him last ni-” you shove a chip into Naeun’s mouth. “Sh!” you laughed. You both order your dessert bowls and chit-chat about girl things such as makeup and fashion. Naeun mentions that she has been secretly designing clothes during the summer while you were away and there is a shoot tomorrow and she wants you to join her as well, she also mentions that Junmyeon and Jongin will be there tomorrow to join in the photoshoot. Naeun thinks that this will play well into Junmyeon’s public image and plus, you would get to spend more time with him.
“I don’t know Naeun, I’m not really the model type.”
“Please,” she pouted.
“Junmyeon doesn’t really like things like this either, how did you get him to do this?” she bats her eyes at you and laughs. “I might have told him that you agreed to do this so he agreed to do this.”
“Hey!” you almost choke on your drink. “You did what?”
“Please,” she begged with her hands together. I think i’ve finally found my calling as a fashion designer and could really use the assistance of my best friend, I’m also diving into men’s fashion and thats a big step from me, pleassseee.”
“Okay fine,” you bring her hands down and held her hands. “I’m proud of you, you know that right?”
“I know, and I’m proud of you too.”
“What did I do?”
“I’m proud that you and Junmyeon are back together.”
“We’re not technically back together. I don’t even know what we are.”
“You know what would be romantic?” she turns to you and holds up a dress, ”This is cute, here you go,” she turns back around and rummages through the dresses. “I think it would be romantic if you go visit him during work and bring him a home-packed meal. “I know Jaehyun really appreciates a homecooked meal during lunchtime and plus, you get to see him more.”   
“I can’t do that,” she gasps and turns around, handing you another dress.
“Why not?”
“What if I run into his dad?” she gives you a face.
“What?”
“Why are you so scared of his father?”
“Because I’m not the right fit for him Naeun, I don’t own a chain of corporations or hotels and come from a well-known family, my family just owns a cozy hotel ...I think you would be a more perfect fit for him than I am. Look at you, I think you’re the perfect gal.”
“Shut up you are just as good, without all of the jazz I am nothing like you.”
“Hey! Random, but question! Do you think guys like wearing watches?”
“Yeah, why?” she smiles and narrows her eyes at you, you look her up and down and take a step back from her. “Why are you smiling like that?”
“Are you getting Junmyeon a little something-something?”
“No, silly. My dads birthday is coming up and I think a nice watch would go well with him and the snazzy style he always has going, and since you have great fashion taste and have seen my dad quite a few times I thought I’d ask if you want to hop over to the jewelry shop next door after we ring up these-”
“Okay,” she grabs the dresses from your hands and heads towards the register. “These are on me!”
“Wait, no! Naeun, I’ll pay for them my-” she turns around and pinches your cheek. “Just let me do this, I haven’t seen you all summer and you’ve been back for like 3 weeks and haven’t gone out and I want to spoil you, mkay? Cool,” and she struts to the register and hands the associate her card, turning back to look at you she gives you a cheeky smile. After you lecture her on how she needs to stop buying things for you, she just keeps insisting that it's okay and to let her do this since you are like a little sister for her.
You and Naeun walk arm in arm into the jewelry shop and begin browsing the watches on display. There were so many choices to choose from and some that would send your bank account to the roof. You settle on a leather watch with gold trim to it and hand over your card before Naeun could do anything.
“You don’t have to be so aggressive.”
“If I wasn’t aggressive you would have whipped out your card wouldn’t you?”
“Okay fine, you caught me but still,” she pulls you into a hug and jumps with you in the middle of the store.
“What?”
“Look,” she points to a ring in the display case. It was a simple elongated ring with a diamond band that you and Naeun swore that you would both get so you would both be matching, and of course, it could be differentiated because Naeun wore a size bigger than you. The jeweler reaches in and grabs the ring, causing you and Naeun to pout at each other.
“A girl can only dream,” you both whispered.
“I mean I would want her to know as soon as possible you know just in case you know. I wouldn’t want ”
“Baekhyun,” you wave your hand over as he walks into the jewelry store. Baekhyuns eyes widen and he covers up his mouth as he was talking to the phone.
“I got to go. Haha, hi,” he puts his phone in his pocket and the jeweler greets Baehyun. “Sir, your ring,” the ring that you and Naeun looked at was in a ring box in front of Baekhyun. “Aha, right right my ring, this is my ring.”
“Baekhyun, I didn’t know that you had a girlfriend.”
“Oh yeah, I, haha, its-she’s pretty shy so we keep the low on things because that’s how my girlfriend is well, I guess now my soon to be fiance.”
“I see, well … she’s a very lucky girl Baekhyun. Naeun and I, we said that when we get proposed to we will both have the same rings, it works out with us not mixing it up because we have different sized rings.”
“Baekhyun is lucky here, this ring is popular and the only size we have left is a size 8.”
“Hey, Naeun. That’s your size, I think this is a sign with Jaehyun,” you winked.
“Right, um, well I have a meeting to attend in an hour so I just came to pick up the ring before the meeting. I should probably get going now because Junmyeon would kill me if I don’t show up prepared. He’s been pretty busy today with his merger deals with international corporations and such.”
“Okay, tell him I said hi.”
“I will,” he bows and powerwalks away from you two. You and Naeun shrug, Baekhyun was always like this so it wasn’t anything new. “That ring is so beautiful though, whoever he is marrying is so lucky to wear it.”
“Yeah, she’ll be one lucky gal. The ring is beautiful. ”
“You know, now that we’re on this topic. I think he’s going to propose to me soon.”
“Shut up Naeun, you’re lying.”
“I’m not,” she holds your hands and does a little happy jump. “When I get married can you promise me one thing?”
“Anything.”
“Getting married will be very scary, promise to be by my side? I know weddings are all fun and stuff but its the next step of adulting and I’m scared.”
“Of course,” you hug her. “And to be completely honest, I think with the wayJaehyun is acting … I think you’ll get proposed to soon and plus, we’re like sisters, I will always be there for you.”
Though it’d been a few hours since you’ve seen Naeun, you’ve been texting her since the time you both parted because you had a sudden urge to go see Junmyeon even though you saw him this morning and wasn’t sure if you were just being needy because you couldn’t get the idea of his hug from this morning out of your head. Since you couldn’t get that out of your mind, here you are, standing across from his office dripping from the rain you just walked through. Thanks to your luck it began pouring in the middle of your walk there and you were drenched in rain by the time you reached the doors of his building.
“Okay,” you took a breath. “On the count of three,” you lift your hand up and ball it into a fist. One knock. Nothing. Two knocks. Nothing. Three knocks. Nothing. You sigh and your shoulders slump down. “So much for wanting to see him-” you place your hand on the door handle then turn around and make your way to the elevator. Pulling out your phone, you call Naeun to let her know of the fail that just happened to you. Saying your parting words to the cleaners, you walk out of the building and make your way back your family’s hotel. It was great that it still looked wet outside because if it didn’t look like it had just rained, you would have looked ridiculous walking in soaked clothes.
“At least it’s a beautiful night,” you round the corner onto a less populated street. “I don’t know what I was thinking, I don’t even know why I walked there.”
“Well, where are you now?”
“I just walked past the bakery shop by the corner and am on that one sketchy bit before it leads to the busier side again.”
“It was worth a try, you’re a hopeless romantic.”
“No, I’m not,”  you laughed.
“Hey, do you want me to come to drive you back?”
“I’m fine, I’m almo-ahhhhh!” a hand grabs onto your shoulder and you freeze. Before the guy was able to speak you elbow him in the stomach and twist his arm around, nailing him to the ground with your knee on his back.
“I know karate, don’t test me-”
“Damn,” you look up and Baekhyun was standing at the driver side with the door open. “When did you learn karate?”
“Uh …” your eyes divert down to the man on the ground.
“Thank you Miyeon, you don’t have to stay and take care of him tonight, I’ll take care of him since this is my fault.”
“Miss …”
“It's okay, you take a night off and I’ll take care of him,” she nods, hands you the first aid kit and makes her way out. You move the kit to the side and scoot closer to Junmyeon, taking the bandaids out you take a cotton pad and pour some hydrogen peroxide onto it. “This might sting,” you grab his arm and gently wipe the cut he sustained when he fell onto the ground.
“You know i’m okay right?” you shrug. “I’m fine I promise.”
“I know you say that but I still feel bad,” you take the bandage and place it on top of his wound. “Because of me, you’re bruised up like this.”  
“Well, at least we know that you will never get kidnapped.”
“Haha, not funny,” you said as you packed everything back into the first aid box. Junmyeon’s knee touches yours and you look up, noticing that he scooted closer to you. With your eyes locked on his, your heart began pounding, and it felt like it was pounding faster than the speed of light. “Why were you out in that part of the street? You know how dangerous that area is?”
“I-um, I-I just wanted to take a walk that's all. The hotel has had an influx of customers the past few days and I wanted to take a walk since it felt nice tonight.”
“Is that why the security guard I met as I was coming out of the restroom confusingly ask me why I wasn’t in my office with a beautiful lady?”
“I …” you scratch your head and turn away from Junmyeon. “I, I um, well you know your main building or whatever you call it was along the path I was walking and …” he turns you back around and locked eyes with you again. You hiccup and immediately looked down at your hands. Why am I like this again? You scratch your arm. He lifts up your chin.
“ … or did you?”
“Okay fine I wanted to see you.” you stand up and began pacing with your hands cupped to your face. Why is my face so hot right now? It's not like you’ve never done anything with him before. “I don’t know why I did that I actually went out because I wanted to-” You spin around and find his chest in front of your face, you clear your throat and turn away from him only to have him spin you back around to face him.
“So,” a grin begins building until he full on smiles. “Why are his teeth so pretty too?” you whisper.
“What?”
“Nothing,” you shake your head.
“I wanted to see you too,” he pulls you in and the warmth of his body overtakes you and give in, wrapping your arms around his waist. He squeezes and tight little hug and pulls away. “Follow me,” he laces his hands in yours and pulls you out of the family living room and you both make your way behind the stairs to a bookshelf.
“Why are we in front of your bookshelf?” he shrugs at you. “I think there is an elevator behind this.”
“You think?” he pushes the light switch and it flips up, revealing a keypad. Junmyeon presses a few buttons and the bookshelf opens up, revealing the secret elevator. You both walk in and the door shuts, shaking a little before it began to ascend, he smiles and gives your hand a little squeeze. Once you enter the 3rd-floor Junmyeon pauses and looks both ways.
“What are you looking for?”
“My room,” he turns to the left, “I think it’s this way,” he takes you to the left wing. You pause and look up at him.
“What?”
“You don’t know where your own room is?”
“I do, this house is just so big I don’t remember where everything is all the time.”
“Hold up,” you tried holding back a laugh. “Do you even know where all the rooms are in your house are?”
“I know where the family room is and where my room is and my office, that’s all that matters isn’t it?” he said as you walked through the hallways. “Yeah, those are important but why live in such a big house if you don’t know where things are? Or, get lost.”
“I don’t know.”
“But no ones occupying the room, wouldn’t that be a waste of space?”
“I guess you could say that.”
“Do you have some kind of secret society her-ah!” you yell as you trip over the carpet. He bends down as you sit yourself up and boops your nose. “Maybe,” he winked. “Here we are,” he opens up the door to his room and you follow him in. “What are we doing here?” you turn the corner. He grabs you a towel and wraps it around your head. “Dry up,” you take down the towel and dry your hair.
“Take off your clothes, you’ll get sick if you stay in those,” he strips off his shirt and begins unbuckling his pants, you clear your throat. “I’m fine,” he chuckles and comes over with his boxers on, “You act like you’ve never seen me-”
“Junmyeon!”
“This is covering more tha-”
“Junmyeon,” you covered his mouth. “Don’t say that.”
“Acting shy aren’t we?” he pulls a cabinet open and you see women's lingerie and clothing. “You have women's clothing?”
“Yeah,” he nods and turns back around. “I do.”
“That's kind of strange, don’t you think?”
“No,” he shook his head. “Not when they’re yours.”
“What?”
“When I was packing to move back here, I forgot to give you the clothes you left at my apartment. I just never got around to doing anything with them.”
“Right,” you grab a black romper and undergarments and quickly change into them. You sit on the little couch built into his closet and observe the walk-in closet you were sitting in. “I see your style’s still pretty neutral.”
“I know,” he slips on black sweats and a plain white t-shirt. You blink at him. He looks so good. You follow him out of the closet and back into his room where you wait for him as he uses the restroom. Walking around, you notice that his room is just like the rest of the room, minimal decorations and really clean, like no one lives here and this is all brand new.
“You know, it looks like you barely live in your room.”
“I don’t,” he yells from the bathroom. “I mainly sleep on the couch in the family room or on the couch in my office.”
“You need to sleep on actual beds Junmyeon, you’re going to have a bad back when you’re older.”
“I think I’ll be fine,” he walks out with his glasses on. Oh fuck me, why does he look so hot in plain clothing. “Why are you so hot? I just want to kiss you so much ri-” you slap your hands over your mouth. Why did I say that out loud?
“Then do it,” he grins, your eyes widen and you take a step back from him.
“Or?” you said as you take a step back.
“Or I’ll do it if you’re too shy too,” your eyes move from his and travel down to his lips, you bite down on yours and hear your heart pounding out of your chest. The distance between you and Junmyeon is decreasing as much as the bed and your doomed fall onto it. It's now or never. You grab his shirt and tiptoe up for a quick peck. Well, you stand there unsure of what to do, that was anticlimactic.
“Satisfied?” he winked. You shake your head at him. Without a second thought, he pulls you on him with your legs wrapped around his waist with your forehead against his. 
You wanted to know Junmyeon again, you wanted to know how it felt to have his lips on yours. 
Junmyeon slowly put you on his bed, his lips gently pressed onto yours. All you could feel was the adrenaline in your veins and your heart pounding out of your chest, his hands push away hair from your face and you pulled him in closer to you. You missed this, you missed Junmyeon but of course, things like this never last.
“Junmyeon?” you manage to mutter out in between.
“Hm?” you pointed to the door.

Jung Sewoon Enemies to Lovers Scenario!
I’ve sort of morphed together two anon requests to create my first Sewoon scenario, enjoy! (You + Jung Sewoon)
You and Sewoon were both music majors in college at a competitive music college that accepted very few students
You were majoring in piano performance, Sewoon was majoring in music composition
Sewoon was your senior at the school, and he was relatively famous at the school for being in a band and composing songs for others at the school and artists
In the band, he played guitar and sang, making him the “face” of the group, leading to widespread popularity
Because of this, you already knew exactly who he was before even getting accepted to the school
However, you (and pretty much everyone else) didn’t have any actual information on his personality outside of his music skills and band persona
He was relatively quiet in the classroom, only seen talking with his best friends Jaehwan, Youngmin, and Donghyun
(Sewoon and Jaehwan were actually caught wildly giggling together in class once, a rumor that had spread around the school earlier that year)
Basically anything that Sewoon did was talked about, but he didn’t really do anything about the attention
 You had gone through your freshman year without many problems, it was a pretty normal year
So when you returned to school for sophomore year, the last thing you expected was to find that your dorm room assignment was right across the hall from Sewoon and Jaehwan
Like you open your door and bAM thats their room ! ! 
You were pretty nervous at first about this situation, because lets be real who wouldn’t be... the two were practically celebrities at the school (Jaehwan was highly regarded by the students because of his stellar performance on a singing variety show)
It was really cool at first, being so close to Sewoon and Jaehwan on a daily basis, even though you never talked to them lol (I mean, they were practically celebrities at this point)
You would always greet them politely, though, at least at the beginning of the school year
But that got old FAST
The long nights of singing and guitar strumming quickly turned from interesting to heLLISH
Like how are you supposed to sleep if the two decide to sing the Jurassic Park theme on repeat at 3 in the morning
Soon, you were absolutely tired of the both of them (physically and mentally), and after holding back for weeks, you finally ended up bursting one night when they just wouldn’t stop singing: this time it was Sewoon doing impressions and Jaehwan maniacally laughing in response
So in a matter of seconds, you immediately switched from being some harmless neighbor to psYCHO BITCH and gave the two roommates a piece of your mind
It really was a frightening sight: you screaming at the top of your lungs in a ginormous t-shirt, your hair going every which way, a consequence of rolling around in bed for hours
Jaehwan immediately apologized, but you didn’t hear Sewoon mutter under his breath “this is a music school, what do you expect”
(good thing you didn’t hear that, or who knows what would have happened)
Anyway you thought it would be all fine and dandy after that, as you headed into your room, but as you closed your door you heard Jaehwan being the idiot he is, claiming that your hair looked like Chewbacca if he “walked straight into a hurricane”
You whipped the door back open to scream some more, only to come face to face with Sehwan’s closed door
You sighed and gave up, climbing up to your bed to attempt to save the last hours of sleep you had left
The next morning, before heading to classes, you met Sewoon in the hall outside your door coincidentally
Not the best timing; you were still pissed at the whole Chewbacca thing
“Ah, (Y/N), good morning... I see you’ve... improved your hairstyle”, he greeted you, unable to hold back a mischievous smile at his own “joke”
It was the first time he had ever called you by your name, but you weren’t starstruck at all; if anything this comment worsened your mood
You didn’t have it in you to respond, and just blankly stared at him before walking away
Your anger subsided throughout the day, but when you returned back to your dorm in the evening, you were greeted with the undeniably pleasant but to you, angering sounds of a strumming guitar and a quiet voice
You dumped your backpack in your room and immediately walked over to Sehwan’s room, banging on the door
“It hasn’t even been one day, can y’all just stop fucking playing for one second??” you screamed at the closed door, once again looking like a crazy person
“Or can you just go play in a practice room or a common room or literally anywhere el–” you continued, your rant suddenly coming to a stop when the door opened, revealing a calm-looking Sewoon, his soft eyes meeting your gaze
You were taken aback: based on looks alone, he really could be a rockstar or a boyband member or a solo artist or a CEO or a male model the possibilities are endless
Just like that, your anger was drifting away (Sewoon is Powerful), and it took all your might to keep a stern face
But that didn’t last long, when Sewoon finally spoke
“(Y/N). You realize this is a music school, right? Am I not allowed to practice in my room? This is for my career as well. Think about that,” he calmly said, closing the door
You were unable to respond to that, but still angry: just because it’s a music school doesn’t mean they have to play at night every day... right?
Your mind ran wild with insults and angry justifications for his behavior: He really let the “fame” get to his head, didn’t he. His band’s songs are lame anyways, whatever... 
But for the next month or so, your sleep was interrupted every day in the wee hours of the morning, after a few quiet hours from 10pm to then
Jaehwan and Sewoon thought you would be asleep by then, and resumed their practicing/singing/screaming
At first, you would confront the two every day, but after seeing absolutely no change (“we thought you were asleep sorry”), you just bought a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, which seemed to do the job (despite how uncomfortable it was sleeping with them on)
Other than those few meetings, you never met with Sewoon – the two of you just mutually and individually decided that talking with the other would not result in anything good
Jaehwan seemed politer though, and you always met him with a smile
But one night at the end of the first semester, you were surprised to hear a knock on your door – a switch from the times when you always used to bang on Sehwan’s door
You were getting ready to sleep, and opened your door... who was disturbing your nighttime routine?
It was Sewoon, looking like he hadn’t slept in days, looking like a crazy musician, and your expression immediately turned unpleasant
You were prepared to argue with him about whatever he had to say but fighting was apparently the last thing on his mind
“(Y/N), Jaehwan’s not here and I really need someone to run this piano verse by for an assignment due tomorrow; I need to experiment with the guitar while I hear it in the background, can you please help me I really urgently need this or I wouldn’t be asking” he rambled, some of his words completely incoherent
And how could you be angry at that? For the first time he looked not like this star of the school but instead like a normal college sleep-deprived kid, and you had to admit that was adorable
“Yeah, sure, let’s make it quick though,” you said, as he lead you into his room
“Sorry about the mess, I’ve kind of been busy lately,” Sewoon muttered as the two of you stepped around his strewn-about clothes and cans of energy drinks
You sat at the piano, where Sewoon set a piece of handwritten sheet music on its stand
Sewoon grabbed his guitar and sat on the bench, right next to you, your knees meeting under the piano
“Sorry about that (Y/N), I’d like to see the music as well,”
“It... it’s fine,” you mumbled, the words tumbling out of your mouth as a blush coated your cheeks: the position you two were in was... innocent but intimate
“Okay, you can start now,” Sewoon’s soft voice snapping you out of your daze
You began to sightread the music, and Sewoon’s guitar jumped out with random notes and chords, melting the sounds of both into a beautiful mixture that satisfied your ears
“Oh (Y/N), stop there hold on one second,” Sewoon breathed, grabbing a nearby pen and paper before he started furiously writing notes and rhythms
You were shocked at the sight: he really was a true musician, a genius even, and you didn’t understand the amount of effort he put into his songwriting until now
He asked you to play again suddenly, and he would pluck out the tune again in perfect harmony
At times he made you play a part over and over again before deciding if it was good enough, shocking you with how caring he was about a single measure, a perfectionist indeed
This pattern kept on going for hours: Sewoon asking you to play and then telling you to stop when inspiration hit him
Time flew by, and you had no idea how much fun you were having – sometimes you added in your own little flairs to the piece, causing Sewoon to add the bits he liked into the music permanently
Despite how much you two had despised one another, you made a good team 
Sometimes your arms would bang on one another’s while playing, causing the both of you to laugh when wrong notes were hit as a result
You really felt yourself enjoying the time you spent with him: as a performer, you practiced a lot, but you had never experienced how much creativity it took to write music
He wasn’t just this incredibly beautiful and popular guy: he was talented and hardworking as well, and you felt the respect for him welling up inside of you
In the middle of the morning, Sewoon was finally finished with his writing
“Thanks so much for your help (Y/N), I would’ve been up all night if it weren’t for you... it’s so much more time efficient when I don’t have to play both parts,”
“It’s no problem,” you mumbled back, glancing shyly at Sewoon in response
You two stared at each other for a moment, still right next to each other on the bench, before Sewoon’s gaze snapped away and broke the silence
“It’s already 2, you should get back to your room,”
What?? 2??? Already?? I haven’t even been here that long, you thought, before checking your phone and gasping in shock, making Sewoon laugh
You had given up your precious sleep to be with him, and for some reason you weren’t mad at all about that
You stood up, ready to leave, but the thoughts you’d been having escaped your mind and out your mouth
“That was actually kinda fun, sorry I stayed so late... if you need help in the future just let me know,” you said, immediately getting embarrassed at your own words
Sewoon hit you with that charming smile, replying that “it was fun, nighttime is actually when I write best, so this isn’t late for me, no worries”
“Oh that’s why you–” you began, realizing that all those noises at the middle of the night were literally Sewoon composing like he had been today
You felt like an asshole and quickly bid him goodnight before escaping his room and jumping on your bed to attempt to sleep
But even though it was the middle of the night, much past your bedtime, you couldn’t seem to stop your mind from racing and your heart from beating about what had just happened
From then on, instead of meeting Sewoon with a glare or ignoring him completely when you saw him, you would subconsciously sneak glances at him or smile or blush and get all fluffy inside
You two would actually talk sometimes now, making Jaehwan completely confused on what changed the relationship between the two of you so dramatically
You suddenly didn’t mind the nighttime music sessions, and you actually found yourself falling asleep to the sounds of Sewoon and Jaehwan’s voices singing together
You weren’t sure if you two were friends now and didn’t know if you should approach him again or what
But about a week later, Sewoon approached you himself, thanking you for your help and letting you know that he had aced the assignment
You envied his being able to come talk to you like it was nothing (but little did you know that Sewoon had been looking for an excuse to talk to you again after that night
“Oh, I’m glad everything worked out, you really worked very hard on that”
“Thanks, I couldn’t have done it without your help, (Y/N),”
*cue awkward silence of twiddling fingers and stealing glances at one another
“Uh, so to repay you for that, if you want I can help you learn some guitar, it seemed like you were really interested that night,” Sewoon coughed out, nervously glancing at you (looking like a complete 180 (or 360 as ong would say) from his confidence-exuding stage presence)
“Oh, y-yeah sure that sounds fine, I mean I’d really like that,” you replied, this whole situation not making it any easier for you to focus
“Okay, Jaehwan won’t be here again tonight so just pop in when you’re free?”
“Sure, yeah, will do,” you replied, the both of you standing there for another second before waving goodbye and walking in different directions
For the rest of that day you couldn’t stop thinking about your meeting/lesson/date thing with Sewoon (what was it??) and zoomed back to your dorm after classes, stressing about what to wear and how you looked before giving up and settling for your normal sleep outfit
Don’t get ahead of yourself, (Y/N)...
You had no idea how you had gone from hating this guy to now... whatever you felt about him, but either way you weren’t thinking about it
That evening, you knocked on Sewoon’s door, and he opened it for your eyes to be greeted with a completely cleaned room
“Wow, Sewoon, you clean up well,”
“I assume you mean the room, not me,” Sewoon laughed back at you, as you finally looked at him, wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants lol
“You look really good too,” you let out accidentally, mentally kicking yourself as you caught Sewoon’s smile at your response, teasingly raising his eyebrows
The two of you walked into his room, Sewoon telling you to take a seat on his bed because that’d be the most comfortable place for you two to sit
He grabbed his guitar and sat next to you on the bed, immediately placing his guitar into your hands
“Uh, Sewoon, isn’t this your guitar,” you whispered nervously: it must be incredibly expensive, Sewoon was known for being extremely attached to and taking perfect care of his instruments
“It’s fine, (Y/N), I trust you, for now...” he replied, poking you
He started by teaching you the strings of the guitar and how to hold it, his fingers occasionally brushing yours, and his arm purposefully holding yours to demonstrate how to carry it
You felt his chest softly pressing against your shoulder and part of your back, and you thought that there was no way you would be focusing on the actual lesson
After that though, Sewoon let you play by yourself, you quickly picking up easy tunes like twinkle twinkle little star and hot cross buns (aw)
Your “lesson” thing lasted about an hour, and you actually started learning well – Sewoon was a great teacher
The lessons became a regular occurrence, happening most nights if not all, at the same time every day: Sewoon claimed that Jaehwan had an activity every night during that time anyway, so it’d be fine for you to come over
(what you didn’t know was Jaehwan was banished to a practice room or Youngmin/Donghyun’s room every night per instruction of Sewoon SLKDFJ LOL)
Sometimes your meetings would morph into a jam session, with you either playing like a n00b on the guitar or like a virtuoso on the piano, the both of you having a lot of fun together
One day Jaehwan got tired of having to wait forever to leave you two alone, and crashed your party, screaming “JUST DATE ALREADY WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO SUFFER FOR THIS”
“Wait, why are you suffering, Jaehwan,” you asked, unknowing of the situation
“SEWOON KEEPS KICKING ME OUT SO THAT HE CAN BE WITH YOU BECAUSE HE WON’T JUST TELL YOU ALREADY THAT HE–” Jaehwan exploded before Sewoon tackled him out of the room, slapping a hand over Jaehwan’s mouth, closing and hardlocking the door so that Jaehwan couldn’t even get in with his key LOL
“Sorry about that, (Y/N), I was going to tell you eventually but I guess he pretty much did the job for me,” Sewoon mumbled, sheepishly scratching the back of his neck
“I am honestly so confused right now, I barely could hear what was going on, Jaehwan honestly just seems psychotic,” you replied
“Oh, well...” Sewoon started, grasping one of your hands, “it’s pretty obvious but we’ve been spending a lot of time together and you’re a really good musician and really cute and I like you a lot,” Sewoon spewed out, as you stared in awe at his blushing face
He looks... adorable.
“UGH FINALLY!” Jaehwan screamed from outside the door (he must be listening lol), but the both of you ignored him (hah take that psycho)
“oh- oh? You do?” was all you managed to get out
“I mean, if you don’t like me that’s completely fine, I don’t have a problem with continuing to teach you guitar, I’ll just have to charge you now,” Sewoon laughed out, attempting at a joke as he let go of your hand
But instinctively you grabbed his hand with the both of yours
“No– no! That’s totally not it I mean I really like you too you’re practically a musical genius and you’re really nice to me even though I treated you like an asshole at first and–,” you awkwardly rambled, Sewoon cutting your words off by pulling you tightly into a hug
You expected him to say something, but all Sewoon was giggle like a fool and unlock the door for Jaehwan with one of his hands
“Hyung you can come in now,” letting Jaehwan fling open the door to find the two of you all cuddled up on one another
“EW I’M LEAVING THAT’S SO GROSS GET AWAY FROM ME” Jaehwan screamed, leaving the two of you alone again, laughing at whatever the hell just happened in the past 10 minutes
And that was that: you and Sewoon had somehow transformed from enemies to lovers
Lots of music dates, you willingly compromised your sleeping schedule to play music with Sewoon, sometimes writing your own
Guitar lessons continued, but... they became less innocent than before (I’ll let you decide what that should mean heh)
Nighttime karaoke was not unusual, and Jaehwan couldn’t resist participating
The two of you learned from one another, and brought different perspectives to writing and playing
You supported him at his concerts #1 fan lol and he always came to your piano performances 
so darn cuTe yay
Music truly does bring people together :’)))

hiya drew, what are a couple bands/songs you'd recommend for someone interested in getting into classic rock? I hope you're having a great day
hey anon! this is an extremely loaded question! sdfjdfkgjd (and i’m really flattered you’re askin me, because, omg, it’s an honor)
(under a read more bc i talk too god damn much)
okay. lemme preface this by saying i barely scratch the surface when it comes to classic rock. in fact i just like the “popular” classic rock bands, because i’m a hipster loser (and i grew up on some of this stuff and don’t really have much of an interest venturing further but hey, who knows, maybe i’ll expand my spotify library in due time)
there are people on this website in the CR fandom who are so much better equipped to answer this, but u asked me, and i never really bothered to integrate into the cr fandom anyway because i feel like theyre all cooler than me and i just wanna sit down and listen to like, the same two albums on repeat, but anyway. to answer your question…
it really just depends on what genre you like. what kind of music you want to get into; i can sit here and tell you to listen to pink floyd and go on about their significance but i can’t make you Like them yknow?
so…..i’m just gonna list a few of my favorite songs by the most well-known classic rock bands because, like i said i just kind of barely scratch the surface on the classic rock format as a whole
as some of you may be aware, i am drew “beatlefucker” angelshane (thanks ana) and to get these bug boys out of the way, i’ll give u some song recs from the beatles! (early 1960s to 1970) (genres: rock, pop, psychedelia)
surely you’ve heard of them; if not, they caused a huge uproar across the world called beatlemania. think of like…tumblr, as a planet, and the beatles is the newest, hottest anime of the season, and everybody’s got a huge heart boner for them. because that’s basically what it was.
here are some of their songs that have been in my head for the past few days: drive my car (rubber soul, 1965); eleanor rigby (revolver, 1966); and if i fell (a hard day’s night, 1964)
revolver is the most recent album i’ve listened to, they have more but the next proper Album is sgt. pepper and that feels…like. so much. it’s a Huge Album, both content-wise and…history-wise? anyway, it’s very intimidating for me and i think i want to take my time with it before i rush in
i’m just gonna get led zeppelin (late 1960s to 1980, some reunions sprinkled here and there,) out of the way, now, too. (genres: hard rock, blues rock, folk rock, heavy metal)
let me just say right here: i hate jimmy page. as a person. and i honestly think most of his solos aren’t…that great. but for real, i won’t tolerate any of that ugly shithead on my blog and just because i like LZ doesn’t mean i condone any of the shit he did.
(you’ll notice a trend, especially in the older bands, that controversy is super common. u can’t..really get into classic rock without having to see the darker side of your faves. it sucks, nobody’s perfect, and i don’t agree with separating the artist from the art, but it does get hard to like certain music when you know the shit that happened with certain artists.)
Anyway! that being said, i truthfully only really listen to led zeppelin and led zeppelin ii. some physical graffiti but, eh. So, if you wanted to get into lz, you’re askin the wrong person, is what i’m saying jfkgsdj
here’s my song recs: good times bad times and dazed and confused (led zeppelin, 1968); whole lotta love and ramble on (led zeppelin ii, 1969); kashmir (physical graffiti, 1975)
and honestly the JP thing is why i don’t really listen to LZ much outside of their self titled and lz2. cos like. i just can’t.
QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN (1970s to…now? personally, if freddie mercury isn’t involved then..is it really queen) (genre: rock)
if you don’t know who queen is, you know who queen is. bohemian rhapsody? of course you know that song. everyone does.
but if you don’t then that’s perfectly ok too. it’s a good song imo. not their Best, but it’s good
i gotta be honest, i listen to singles mostly. i’ve got a lot on my proverbial plate and while i Love freddie mercury (bi king) sometimes i’m just. not in the headspace for queen. they’re good but a certain specific set of circumstances need to happen where i feel aligned with queen music enough to listen to it. also, freddie’s death makes me really sad and if i think about it too hard i’ll get depressed.
here’s my favorite queen songs!!!
brighton rock and killer queen (sheer heart attack, 1974); you’re my best friend (a night at the opera, 1975); somebody to love and GOOD OLD FASHIONED LOVER BOY (a day at the races, 1976); TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU (made in heaven, 1996)
honestly..queen is so influential and inspiring and i fucking love freddie mercury so like. those are just a few of my favorites. i could honestly go on forever about it but let’s stop there
now let’s get away from the boys and talk about stevie nicks because she is my mother and i would die in her place given the chance. i love her. I Love Her.
but i mean you’d probably better begin at fleetwood mac (late 1960s to the mid 1990s; late 1990s to …now?) (genres: pop rock, soft rock, blues rock, art pop, british blues)
this is a band i don’t know much about. because there’s apparently so much to know about them, so much inter-band dynamic drama. from what i’ve skimmed. So Much Drama.
i…can’t provide any songs for you, because i dont listen to fleetwood mac and i need to fix this ASAP but i feel like the time isn’t right yet. is that dumb of me to think? probably, but i’m gonna stick by my guns.
you should listen to fleetwood mac and tell me what you think!!!
(yes i included a portion on stevie nicks without giving song recs because i’m awful: listen to edge of seventeen, bella donna, 1981)
okay back to smelly dudes cos that’s all the world fuckin cares about i guess
pink floyd!!! (mid 1960s to mid 1990s, mid 2000s, and early/mid 2010s) (genres: progrock, art rock, psychedelic rock)
i mean i love them but i’m just dipping my toes in the water here. i’ve barely listened to them, but from what i’ve heard they’re very good. VERY politically driven. i cannot stress this enough. they’re the good kind of politics i think though
you’ve most definitely seen the album art for the dark side of the moon. like, you just have. there’s probably no way you couldn’t have. (but if u haven’t thats fine)
here’s some tunes: money (tdsotm, 1973); the wall. just. the wall. if you love concept albums, here you go. listen to the wall.
that’s all i got. pathetic, i know, but i’m workin my way up i promise
here’s where we get into more familiar territory. ..having said that, i don’t really know much about the history of the rolling stones, but a good friend of mine Does and maybe i can pry info out of her. but i won’t bc she’s too cool 4 school and she’s really great
anyway, the rolling stones!!! (early 1960s to like. now i guess) (genres: rock, blues, blues rock, rock and roll)
woof. what can be said about them really. there’s…..almost too much to say. i love them a lot.
Okay when i get into bands, its in my DNA to listen from the very earliest recording i can find (usually on spotify nowadays) so i’ve been sslowly working my way past the baby pebbles albums (mostly covers) to their original work (fun fact did you know john and paul of beatles fame wrote their own music, and when mick and keith of stones fame found out it was In Fact That Easy they began to write their own music too? fascinating.)
ANYWAY here’s some stones songs: gimme shelter and you can’t always get what you want (let it bleed, 1969); angie (goats head soup, 1973); sympathy for the devil (beggars banquet, 1968)
again i am….Slowly inching my way up their discography. snails pace. i’ll get there. (u can ask glimmerkeith on tumblr for stones song recs, bc shes great and knows much more than i do and i would die for jenn)
now here’s a band…….that i’ve rediscovered pretty recently. try, last week.
AC/DC!!!!!!!! (early 1970s to now) (genres: hard rock, blues rock, rock and roll)
this is Very Much Your Dads™ Music. probably. most likely, anyway. but listen: i saw them in concert once and (while it probably…wasnt the best experience for me) i had a fucking Blast. very sad things happened in this band in the last few months.
not recent, but very important, in 1980 their lead singer bon scott died and everyone was sad. then brian johnson came out with his fuckin voice and everyone was like “ok sweet lets get back to rock n’ roll”
so this will be split by scott’s era and the johnson era (heh heh) And, because i’m familiar with this band, i’ll list the album in question and name a few songs off it instead of just naming songs. because yes.
scott:
T.N.T (1975); it’s a long way to the top (if you wanna rock ‘n’ roll); T.N.T; high voltage
dirty deeds done dirt cheap (1976); dirty deeds done dirt cheap (edit: i just realized how much i actually hate this album and only like that song so WHOOPS but i wanna keep the formatting so, yknow)
let there be rock (1977); let there be rock; whole lotta rosie
highway to hell (1979); highway to hell (it just felt really weird, making a reclist of songs by ac/dc and Not including this one)
johnson:
back in black (1980); HELLS BELLS; shoot to thrill; given the dog a bone; back in black; you shook me all night long
for those about to rock we salute you (1981); for those about to rock (we salute you)
the razors edge (1990); thunderstruck
making this list, it hit me how much of bon scott i actually Listen to when i listen to ac/dc dfkjghjdfksdsfj but uh yeah those. are good
AND NOW…FOR THE FUCKIN MOMENT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR
GUNS! AND! ROSES! (mid 1980s to NOW MOTHERFUCKERS!!! THEYRE BACK!!! well, touring at least) (genres: hard rock, heavy metal
arguably my favorite band. subjectively, my favorite classic rock band. objectively? they own a huuuge portion of my heart, and my ass.
so listen up: these two kids from indiana run away to california to get out of fucking indiana, because who wants to stay in indiana, (it’s more like, one gets out, and like a year later the other kid tries to find him in the big mean streets of L.A) and along the way they get shuffled in and out of bands together. they start bands, break up bands, the whole fuckin shebang.
and then a few chance miracles happen and suddenly guns n’ roses is formed in like 1985. my boys? those are my boys.
i’m gonna do what i did w ac/dc and bullet the albums and then i’m gonna talk about the albums because i got SHIT to SAY
appetite for destruction (1987); welcome to the jungle, out ta get me, paradise city, sweet child o’ mine, ROCKET QUEEN
all right so here’s the deal, it was very hard not picking every single song on the album because every single song on the album is fucking perfection. actual gold. there’s no flaws in this album. Nothing. everything is good and perfect and i’m not biased at all
did you know axl rose (one of the boys from indiana) recorded each line individually? so, he sang a line, and then stopped recording, and then started recording the next line because he wanted it to be perfect?
did you know appetite was originally a flop album but after this dude got the guys at MTV to play the music video for Jungle at like 5am, guns n’ roses BLEW THE FUCK UP. Everybody know about them practically overnight. it was surreal and really cool, apparently.
and did you know axl played the synthesizer in paradise city? that’s adorable. i fucking love him.
gn’r lies (1988); patience; used to love her
the first four tracks in this EP are from their very first EP ever recorded - it Sounds like it’s taken from a live show but they dubbed in the audience in post, to make it seem like they had huge crowds attending their shows when in reality that wasn’t the case. (their first ep was released in december 1986, they had loyal fans but the crowd wasn’t that rowdy until after appetite came out)
believe me when i tell you. don’t listen to one in a million. or like, do. but i’m not gonna fight anyone about this. it’s fucked up. i’m not defending axl at all and i actually struggled with liking guns after i listened to it.
but unfortunately here we are and i saw them in concert and i had to deal with some fuckhead in the row behind me and his friend who kept Shouting that they play the song, when nobody on stage could her them, and like. of course they wouldn’t play it today. fuck off man
use your illusion i (1991); right next door to hell; dust n’ bones; perfect crime; november rain; BAD APPLES; COMA
i tried to limit these to five songs an album but i fuckin can’t, anon. illusion1 is just so fucking perfect. i can’t choose between my children. pls forgive me
on dust n’ bones and double talkin’ jive is izzy stradlin doing vocals (the second indiana boy, the one who left indiana first) and he’s regarded as the most unnderrated member in gnr by like everybody. so much so that it’s almost…too much. but like basically he was addicted to drugs and everything and then he sobered up when everyone else in the band was still hooked and he was like “wtf i’m out” and axl was like noooo :(
use your illusion ii (1991); civil war; 14 years; GET IN THE RING; locomotive; estranged; you could be mine
UYI1 and 2 were released on the same day. can you imagine how fuckin wild that day was? gnr fans scrambled to their record stores by the hordes probably.
izzy does vocal work in 14 years and this album was his last contribution to the band
uhhhh this album is also fucking perfect but i get sad listening to it sometimes so i try not to? very emotionally driven work. but like, where UYI1 was mostly passionate and angry-ish based, UYI2 is much more contemplative and uhh. sad. i guess.
“the spaghetti incident?” (1993)
this is a cover album and also the last album to feature my love, my soul, my light, my heart, slash. also duff. i mean i love him probably almost just as much but, yeah. duff actually looks like my cousin’s dad so i can’t really…. um. i feel weird about talking about him kjdfgd
but SLASH my god what a perfect man. i love him more than almost everything.
hey fun fact in between UYI and TSI, guns n’ roses toured with metallica and that tour is when slash, In His Autobiography, said he “lost” axl. his word. he Lost axl.
axl rose is a whole fuckin…..topic for another time, and i’m not gonna get into my own bullshit here, but that’s basically the situation when you listen to TSI. the band is fractured and barely holding together. after TSI, slash and duff leave GNR and axl is the only original member from the band still in it
(of course that opens up a conversation of who was originally in guns n’ roses but that’s another discourse for another time)
CHINESE DEMOCRACY (2008); CHINESE DEMOCRACY; BETTER; THERE WAS A TIME; SORRY; MADAGASCAR; PROSTITUTE
I. FUCKING. LOVE. THIS. ALBUM. MORE THAN I COULD EVER EXPRESS. everyone says it’s “not gnr” of COURSE it isn’t gnr, when YOU think of GNR, you see slash. and like, i love slash? but he didn’t make the band. EVERYONE - axl, izzy, steven, duff, And slash made the band. after steven was kicked, gnr lost a huge part of what made them stand out, what made the band unique.
and like, fuck, i love dizzy. i love all of the new additions. but you cannot. fucking look me in the eyes and tell me you love UYI But you hate CD because it’s “not gnr”. like. fuck you man.
ugh anyway. i just gotta let y’all know my Stance on this. i love chinese democracy. i’ll defend this album with my fucking life. i was really…disappointed when, at my concert, i didn’t hear more CD but like i also saw slash in person (albeit, from far away, but we shared the same arena and that’s. more than i can handle)
i wanna get lyrics from prostitute tattooed on my body.
also like you can’t tell me better and sorry aren’t about slash sorry but that’s just the fuckin tea
Now, listen, this ask got away from me. i didn’t include…SO many bands because, like i said, i just scratch the surface of what classic rock is. my word isn’t law, ok? that bein said, i am always, ALWAYS down to talk about any of the bands here, and others!!! if i know of them. i’m always taking music/song recs, too.
thanks..for reading this stupid answer to your innocent ask sdfkjghsdf

Kim Kayhyun was a girl from a rough past. Her parents broke up when she was only a few months old, her mom is a hard working asshole. Her father was disabled, not disabled in the way you think. He broke his shoulder in a car accident when he was in a car accident with his 5 year old Kayhyun. A few years later he got in another car accident with his girlfriend at the time and fucked up his brain. He cant talk or think as fast as he used to. He has a new girlfriend though, Park Demyuna. She has two daughters who just happen to be kayhyun's favorite people. Her two daughters names are Park Karajin and Jung Runjyun. Runjyun is 11 and karajin is 14 almost 15. Kayhyun is only 14 and has already been put through hell. She has a little brother Hwang Xanie who just turned 8. Kayhun was very greatful for what she had no matter what but her parents did piss her off quite alot. Her school life wasnt any better, sure she had a few good friends who loved her to death but she hated everyone else. Kayhyun's best friend Min aniha and her boyfriend Jeona Jigsew would basically fuck in the middle of the hallway, it is very gross.
KAYHYUN'S POV
      Ive really only has every had one crush in my life time, his name is Bang Chan. He was tall and had the most lucious brown curls in his hair. His dimples so deep you could swim in them, his eyes were so soft and caring, and his voice makes me melt. Its like honey, better yet an angel. I only know this because a little while ago we both auditioned for a music company called JYP, he and i both became trainees and we found a new friend ship through that. He is the sweetest person on earth but every one know the biggest smile hides enormous amounts of hurt. Chan had been through almost as much as i had been through. He came to Seoul in the 3 rd grade and he was constantly picked on because he is from Australia and didnt speak fluent Korean. Once he was fluent people started making shit up about him and he didnt deserve it. The worst thing that ive heard being said to him was that he was going to get dropped faster than a hot potato from JYP. He dosent seem like he takes it to heart but as one of his best friends, i can confirm he definitely does. I have a small group of friends, there is Han Jisung, Seo Changbin, and Chan they are also trainees . I am so lucky to have them through everything. While going to practice everyday after school, we made some new friends. Chan found a new family that he could depend on instead of his own fucked up life. Chan met Kim Woojin, Lee Minho, Hwang Hyunjin, Lee Felix who was also Australian, Kim Seungmin, and Yang Jeongin. They are all so sweet, they have been to hell and back with their own experiences. Woojin was a year older than Chan, Jisung, Changbin, and I.
       Woojin had pupes man, this boy could belt some notes, he is a giant teddy bear. I remember once i was sad because my boyfriend had broken uo with me and told me horrible thing. I hurt myself and it sure as hell scarred but when woojin saw the scars he hugged me tight and made me promise i would never do that again, i agreed because i was extremely ashamed of myself for letting a boy push me that far. Woojin is an all around great guy.
      Minho was a Mean Hoe. He only teased me and his fellow trainees because he cared about us. He used to be a back up dancer for the imfamous boyband Bangtan Sonyeondan. Minho aasnt ashamed to have danced for them but it did cause some self doubt issues when he became a JYP trainee. He was convinced he was too fat or not strong enough, when in reality he couldnt come to realize that one day he would rise to Bts's level. He was always there for everyone especially Jisung, He had grown VERY close to Jisung.
      Hyunjin is an amazing little soft person. He and Jisung shared the same voices, no, not schizophrenic voices. The voices that told them they werent good enough to be a JYP trainee, these voiced told them to do horrible things to them selves. Hyunjin has the scars on his thighs to show. He never wanted to do it but the voices overwhelemed him one night and found himself in a bathtub of cold water. Long, deep, thin lines that covered his thighs.
      Felix is another Aussie boy, him and Chan both born in Sydney. Felix was teased back home for wanting to be an Idol. He was told to kill himslef and that he would never be good. Felix had friends back home, not all of them true but when he was only 15 he moved to Seoul and started learning Korean to become a successful idol. He grew to some what love himself when he met the boys. He truly loved them. Especially  Changbin
        Kim Seungmin had never been bullied but he was abused. He lives with his Meth head aunt, and dont get me wrong all the boys do very much worry bout how permanent  the roof over his head was. Seungmin did his best not to ask for much because his aunt thought she gave him the world. Where in reality he only had a bed, a blanket, and a phone he bought and payed for himself. He was very greatful for what he had and tried his very bets to stay on his aunts good side, most of the time he was but i prefer not to talk about the bad times.
      Jeongin was the baby of the group. He had a great life, or as far as i know. He hasnt really opened up with me yet but i dont want to force him into something he isnt comfortable with.
     Well now that you do know who the boys and how they came to be who they aee today lets continue...
     It was lunch period and Chan, Jisung, and Changbin ran off without me. I was angry but not to mad they were probally writing new music for the group. I decided to listen to my music and write a poem. I got situated at our usual lunch table and pulled out my notebook. I grabbed my phone and my ear buds and started playing Day6, I turned the volume all the way up to drown out any noise from the rest of the cafeteria. I wrote to my hearts content. Poetry was my way of letting out any sadness or anger. The notebook was yanked away and my head shot up to see, Im Sarang. She hated me for no reason. I jumped up and tried to grab the book from her well manicured hands, but it didnt help that i am only 4'9 and she is 5'11 plus the 4 inch heels she was wearing, in all imagine a 4 foot 9 girl dressed in dark colors jumping 2 inches off the ground reaching for a notebook being held by a giant. Sarang prefered to be called Sara. Sara was popular but she was NOT pretty. She looked like Filipino man in a messy blonde wig, with fucked up eye liner and a pale pink off the shoulder top ( i think certain people get that refrence). Sara slapped me down to the ground and thats when, I lost it. I didnt hit her back but I did stay on the floor teary eyed as sara read out the poem i was writing to the entire cafeteria.
"I’ve been thinking ‘bout my life
Is it better if I die
Before I fall asleep forever
I'm trying to find feeling within this nothingness
I’ve been thinking ‘bout my life
Is it better if I die
Before I fall asleep forever
I'm trying to find feeling within this nothingness"
    Sara looked at me a laughed. She gave me a look pure disgust and hatred, thats when I had enoungh. I sat up and snatched the notebook from her hands and grabbed my bag and ran out of Cafeteria. I was running down the hall way when i collided with a man. I fell hard on my butt, i felt my head slam against the hard tile floor. I let out a final sob before the man came to my side, my vision cleared after all the tears had left my eyes. Park Jaehyung.  He was the guitarist of the Band Day6. They had already debuted but he was still needing to go to school.
"Oh my gosh! Im so sorry!" He said very apologetically. He reached for my hands to help me up.  I sniffed and looked him in the eyes and started crying again.
"Yo hey ey, whats wrong?"
"Sara, she makes my life a living hell when all i want is to be left the hell alone when it comes to my inner thoughts!"
"Ugh . . . Sara is my Best friend Byron's sister. If you think she is bad to you, she calls me OPPAR. Me and the rest of my band. She is so annoying. Dont let her get to you. She is just jealous because all the actually hot guys swoon over you instead of her." What Jae had said made sense but im not pretty.
"Shut up, im not pretty. " you managed to say.
"Youre damn right. Youre gorgeous." He said while taking your hand in his. He starred deep into my eyes and kissed me. And wow. Was he some kisser? I didnt feel awkward and stiff, i felt sparks.
     His lips pressed against mine was the best feeling in the world. Our lips mold together and I feel his hand slip to my hip and pull me closer. I wrap my hand around his neck and pull him into me. He pulls away and rests his forehead on mine and i feel great. I hear a throat clear from beside me, and i look over to see Chan dressed nicely with Changbin and Jisung on both side of him. They are holding what seemed like a million lavender roses. Chan looks at me with hurt and dissapointment in his eyes. He walks up to me and places a small rectangular box in my handm without saying a word he turns around and walks out.
Oh boy what have I gotten myself into...

Bones, Picked Clean the one you read but still prob one of my all time faves. Eventual harem but mostly just... Reader meeting the scary ones first and treating them like people, while calling out the nicer ones on their bs. Also i need more horrortale niceness in my life okay?
Bitty Hunt is another harem style however the Reader is a bitty. Its hilarious and while I would recommend anything by this author, this story along with Tits and Dick are my faves.
Chipping Away its a bit dark. Well okay its pretty dark but theres a feeling of hope persisting despite everything that i enjoy. Gruesome bits discribed a little though. Reader is a medic from a shitty surface and falls into a horrortale makes friends with frisk. Ship with sans i think whose big. Also not technically horrortale as the designs of the chatacters are from a lesser known au currently called something like undertomb(?) But its still got the cannibalism and you don't need to know that really except to know why theyre described different in this story.
Dumb swapfell papyrus moved out away from his brother for reasons and is a socially akward fuck.
Rain Rain Go Away its long. Its funny. Theres sibbling shenanigans. Odd magic human world building subplot. Mostly its just cute and fluffy and Reader is so nice and happy. Self indulgent as hell and i appreciate that.
Skeleton Squatters and the LandLady one of the more popular harems. Readers life is too stressful so she goes to take a weekend break at an old family property. A bunch of skellys have moved in and uh well Reader makes friends and her friends are there for her. And then the shipping begins.
Slave Tale i love everything by this author however a lot of it especially this story deals with self harm, self destructive behavior, and sexual abuse of one form or another. However there is a lot of excellent characterization, development, and worldbuilding.
The House Next Door another harem and while i will go ahead and warn you that the writer makes the mistake of shoving too many people's dialog into a single paragraph, I'm going to urge you to ignore that as its worth it. Reader has a family that we've just found out about in the last handful of chapters which is interesting but essentially... Reader has three jobs and thh crazy random happenstances of running into a skeleton of skeletons who all end up living in the mansion next door. Right now theyve just finished team building and i think it did wonders for their friendship levels.
The Skeleton Games underfell surface timeline. Reader is a vampire. They share an apartment wall with underfell sans who's a noise asshole so Reader trolls them through the power of video games and they become friends. Its funny af.
Not Your Prey a spin off of the skeleton squatters but you don't have to read that one to get this one. Fellswap papyrus and a demi reader.
Ain't this the Life? IF you're an adult I recommend this series. Warnings for fellcest and the fact that while not every part is porn its pretty damn close and will at least reference it. That being said... Fellbros are stuck in a post pacifist timeline of undertale with classic sans and all. Theyve adjusted okay all things considered but despite them being from the 'fucked up edgy timeline' theyre way more well adjusted in some ways then sans. But they both have a thing for sans and the smut is just a convenient excuse to get inside everyones head and see how messed up they are and how well theyre putting eachother back together. Its super cute and shippy on one level uh but the author posts content warnings but i Will say consent is the greatest kink here.
Winter in your Bones not gonna lie this is a stright up romance novel set in Alaska. A lot of questions dont get answered but thats not the point the point is that its a romance novel between Reader and Sans. Complete.
The Party Incident and other Embarrassing Anecdotes painful with the secondhand embarrassment but... Funny as fuck and worth it. Your shippers heart will get broke about halfway through but im given to understand everything turns out better for it. Theres also bonus AU content and other POV content.
Be All My Sins Remembered I like this one but its painful in nonfunny ways. MC is socially avoident but lives in a dorm going to college and then the skellybros move in and social shit ontop of interspecies incidents get out of hand. But misunderstandings are starting to get cleared up and its really worth the read.
Bitties of the Mt. Ebott Area one of the few things ive read thats Complete and its a bunch of complete fics to boot. Theres some interfamily drama but overall good wholesome things ger better vibes.
Thunderstruck underfell papyrus gets some major character development... And also joins a band. He and his brother are in a surface timeline with the classic undertale bros.
Okay there's like way more but that being said i also recommend just going to ao3 going to the undertale fandom section and then hitting [sort by] most kudos or whatever and checking out those. They are popular for a reason and they are really good and i think several here are pretty close to the top of the list.
I didnt recommend even nearly all of my faves or even just a lot of the ones ill go back and read. Mostly because my attention wanders and im not caught up on a lot of them. If you like one work of an author def check out the rest by them - and check out the inspired by / spin off works because theyre usually really good.
